CricViz Analysis: The Spinners
CricViz analysts Freddie Wilde and Ben Jones profiles Moeen Ali and Nathan Lyon.
Perennially underrated, Nathan Lyon has cemented himself as the first post-Warne Australian spinner to have a successful Test career, taking 269 Test wickets at an average of 31.83 with his guileful off-spin. Since his debut against Sri Lanka in 2011, the only spinners to have taken more wickets than Lyon are Rangana Herath and Ravichandran Ashwin, putting the Australian firmly in the elite-class of global spin bowlers. Whilst he does turn the ball, a key part of his threat is the bounce he generates; of the 17 spinners to take 50+ Test wickets since 2010, only Harbhajan Singh and Shane Shillingford get more than his 0.77m of bounce. Six of Lyon's seven Tests in 2017 have been played on the subcontinent which has seen him increase his average speed in an effort to counter sweeping Asian batsmen. It will be interesting to see if he persists with such a strategy in different conditions in Australia.
Moeen Ali is an off-spinning all-rounder, who came into the England team to replace Graeme Swann after the 2013/14 Ashes tour, and has missed only one of England's 45 Tests since then. He has had an inconsistent career to date, averaging an impressive 28.09 in his first year of international cricket, but his average rose to 39.94 in 2015 and then 53.02 in 2016. However, this year has seen that drop to a world-class 21.30, perhaps the result of an altered action which has reduced his average speed by 2.5kph. He has also bowled a wider, more attacking line to right-handers as his career has progressed, bowling 15cm further outside off in 2017 than he did in 2014.
Moeen and Lyon are both off spinners and the lone spinner in their respective teams, however beyond those foundational similarities they are notably different bowlers who perform different roles.
The main difference in their game and the main reason why Lyon has a superior Test average, is that the Australian maintains a better control of length. 65% of Lyon's deliveries pitch on a good length, compared to 58% for Moeen, and whilst this may seem like a small difference, across a 15 over spell that amounts to an entire extra over of loose deliveries from Moeen. As such, the England spinner may take wickets at almost exactly the same rate as Lyon, but he concedes far more runs in between his dismissals.
Against right-handers and left-handers Moeen's average pitching length is around the edge of off stump, while Lyon is 6cm straighter to right-handers and 8cm wider to left-handers. In both instances Moeen's line is more attacking because the wider line to right-handers tempts the drive while the straighter line to left-handers forces them to play. Countering these lines from Moeen is made more complicated by his drift of 2.19° (global average 1.63°) from right to left. Moeen's strategy manifests itself in 35% of his dismissals being bowled or lbw compared to 26% for Lyon.
By bowling straighter than Moeen to right handers, Lyon utilises his additional bounce by challenging the shoulder of the bat and gloves. Indeed Lyon hits the batsmen's gloves twice as frequently as Moeen and has collected 5% of his Test wickets off the batsmen's gloves compared to 2% for Moeen.
The type of bowlers Moeen and Lyon are and the balance of the attacks they operate within define their differing roles.
Lyon, as part of a four-man attack is employed as a stock bowler who looks to keep things tight and hold up an end, while Moeen, as part of a five man attack is more of an attacking option. These roles are reflected in their workloads. Since both players made their debuts Moeen has bowled 17% of England's total overs while Lyon has bowled 23% of Australia's. Moeen's average workload is 16.4 overs an innings, whilst Lyon's averages 20.4 overs, nearly a quarter more than his English counterpart.
Australia are set to pick a four man bowling attack with no part-time bowlers to support them meaning Lyon is going to be needed to fulfil a holding role once again. England will want to use Moeen as an attacking option but given the likely inexperience of England's fourth pace bowler in Ben Stokes' absence Moeen may need to assume a more Lyon-like role.
Revealingly, Lyon is far more of a threat in the first innings of matches, taking 57% of his wickets in the first innings, compared to Moeen who takes 57% of his wickets in the second innings despite Lyon bowling second more often than Moeen. A possible explanation for this is that Lyon's control and accuracy are a persistent threat on unforgiving surfaces, but as pitches deteriorate, Moeen's attacking strategy comes into its own.
Since the start of 2010 spinners have only found an average of 3.29° of deviation when playing in Australia – less than in any other host country. It is unsurprising therefore, that in that time the spin average of 48.06 in Australia is higher than in any other country.
How each team approach the opposition's spinner will be fascinating. The makeup of Australia's attack means that if England were to successfully get after Lyon they could make life very difficult for Steve Smith who will be relying on Lyon for control. However, Lyon thrives on batsmen attacking him, dismissing them once every 30 attacking shots compared to the global average of 37. Given the strength of Australia's pace attack England will be aware of the need to be positive against Lyon but they should remain wary not to gift their wickets to him – busy proactivity may be the way to go.
In the 2015 Ashes Australia took on Moeen, attacking 36% of his deliveries (global average 26%) which brought some success, seeing them average 45.50 against him. However, Moeen is an improved bowler since then and while attacking him may bring quick runs it could be costly. Interestingly Warner, Smith, Khawaja, Marsh and Handscomb look to use their feet to disrupt spinners' length, but Moeen boasts an impressive average of 27.61 when batsmen come down the track to him. Instead Moeen struggles when batsmen sweep him, averaging 89.40 – but other than Warner Australia's batsmen are reluctant to sweep. Unless England's pacers have effectively choked Australia's scoring then attacking Moeen is a risk they should not need to take.

Temple vs Villanova Preview and Prediction
Temple vs Villanova Preview
To say No. 21 Villanova (6-2) has dominated the Big 5 recently would be an understatement. The Wildcats are looking for their 24th consecutive Big 5 victory when they host the Temple Owls (7-1) tonight at Finneran Pavilion.
Nova has won four in a row after a 85-78 victory over La Salle on Saturday night at the Palestra. The game against the Owls will be the second of four Big 5 matchups this season. The others are against Saint Joseph's and Penn.
As usual, Eric Paschall (27 points), Phil Booth (19 points) and Collin Gillespie (15 points) were key contributors in the win.
"I don't know if some of our young guys were ready for this early," Villanova coach Jay Wright said of the Big 5 battle. "I think they got a good taste of it today. But to have two seniors like Eric and Phil who have been in games like this is probably the difference in the game."
Villanova hasn't lost a Big 5 game since falling to Temple on Dec. 5, 2012. The Wildcats will enter the matchup against the Owls on a four-game winning streak.
Of course, if you've followed MFST, you know we were live covering the AdvoCare Invitational–a tournament Villanova won, kick-starting their streak.
The Wildcats defeated Canisius, Oklahoma State and then-No. 14 Florida State 66-60 to capture the AdvoCare Invitational in Orlando, Fla., before the seven-point win over La Salle.
Temple is off to its best start since the 2012-13 season, when it began 8-1 before losing its second game. The Owls will be facing their first Top 25 team of the season against Villanova.
The Owls have dropped five in a row to Villanova but have won three of the last nine (if that's any consolation).
In Temple's most recent game (also a Big 5 matchup), it defeated Saint Joseph's 77-70 on Saturday at Hagan Arena. Senior Shizz Alston Jr. and junior Quinton Rose scored 15 points each to lead Temple. Both players were a perfect 6-for-6 from the charity stripe.
Heading into this matchup Temple is 2-0 this season versus the Big 5 and it's a big deal to their players.
"Just one of my goals is to win the Big 5 championship," Alston told Philly.com. "They (Villanova) won it for a number of years in a row and beating Villanova would help toward that goal, and that is my goal."
"We're 7-1 and have been shooting terrible from 3," Alston told Philly.com. "That is a good thing in my mind because if we can get that together, we can be a scary team."
"I am still looking for it," Temple coach Fran Dunphy said of a possible weakness in Villanova.
LINE: -11 Villanova
A few interesting stats outside of Nova's recent four-game winning streak and domination at the AdvoCare Invitational:
- 1-3 at home in their last four games
- 1-3 as home favorites in last four games
- 4-4 ATS in last eight games
Temple on the other hand is 2-0 on the road as underdogs this season.
The line of double-digits is high between two rivals who I see playing a tight game. Villanova will win, but not by double-digits.
Villanova 73 Temple 66

Have guest = eat more, richer foods. Travel = eat more, get hungrier. Stress = eat more. That's the surface challenge about the week ahead. I know how to deal with that type of challenge... I have my plan and my talisman!... written in my previous post.
It almost makes me smile to realize I thought the challenge of having J here would be dealing with my old addiction and long-past behaviors. I thought maintaining sobriety about food would be a piece of cake.
Actually, the reverse was true. As you can see on the side bar, I set my Abstinence date back to zero yesterday as I began again to follow my food plan... to abstain from eating certain foods, to eat only three meals per day, to avoid trigger foods and to not eat between meals.
Actually I didn't do too badly during this past week.
- I did not eat any of my currently listed abstinence foods, not one bite
- I did not binge
- I remained fairly faithful to my three-meal-a-day plan
- I ate a single-scoop ice cream cone between meals... one time
- I ate a cup or so of trail mix (fruit and nuts) between meals... one time
- I ate more than a single plate of food at a meal... two times
- I ate beyond the point of feeling satisfied... three times
- I ate bread and butter (trigger foods) more times than I consider safe
Originally, I did not put ice cream on my abstinence list. It's not even on my trigger food list. However, it should be on one of the lists because it has occasionally been a binge food (when I was eating chocolate) and eating it does make me crave chocolate and other abstinence foods. The good news here is that having ice cream did not cause a downward spiral... this time. In the next days after eating it, I sat with J and my husband while they ate delicious bakery treats one day and apple pie with ice cream the next day. It was not unbearable to abstain.
So yesterday, with J gone home to Europe and me comfortable again in my normal routines, I thought about whether to set the counter back to zero or not. It would have been day 77 of abstinence. I'm proud of that and thankful for all the help I've received along the way. Will I start over... day zero? Or will I say my eating this past week was borderline but acceptable?
I discussed the question with somebody who has had 16 years of sobriety in AA. She suggested we must each decide for ourselves where the line is and when we have crossed it. She also thinks my plan may be a bit too strict. She said many in AA have to start over.
In my mind, eating an ice cream cone crossed the line, even though I had not listed ice cream as either a binge or trigger food. That it wasn't listed is merely a technicality. It is a binge food for me and I know it; I knew when I decided to have it that it didn't fit my plan. I forgive myself for crossing the line. I do not have to be perfect. Yet, I decided to start again.
Yesterday was day 1; today will be day 2. And, with the help of my (as yet not fully understood) higher power, my fellow OA members and everyone who wishes me well on this journey, I will celebrate day 77 on September 18... not so far down the road.

Have you ever wanted to grow a mustache and be the most popular guy in school? Or you want to look mature so you can buy a carton of beer to show that you are an adult? Girls can be very impressed if you have a mustache as it shows that you are a mature man. Here are 5 secret tips to grow a mustache easily and simply.
1. Drink lots of milk
Milk helps to increase bone density which in turn, makes your bones larger. When bones grow larger, it is often associated with hair growth. So drinking more milk can increase the amount of hair you have.
2. Massage the area where your mustache wants to be
When you massage above the lips where your mustache wants to be, you increase stimulation of hair follicles around that area. For instance, your arm pits is an area where you have many hairs. This is because it is being constantly rubbed by your arms when you move. This is the same principle when growing a mustache. Basically with you fingers, just massage your upper lips for 5 minutes a day to stimulate hair growth.
3. Eat a lot of Beef
Beef contains a lot of hormone, especially testosterone which is a male hormone. Testosterone is responsible for male features like big muscles, pubic hair, broad shoulder and mustaches. Beef contains a lot of hormones so that the meat can be tender and large. So when you eat a lot of beef, you get a lot of testosterone which helps you to grow a mustache!

Christmas came early this year with D'Angelo's long-awaited album Black Messiah. After countless rumors of its release, D'Angelo finally dropped his latest album on December 15. Of course, this caused a stir on the internet with rave reviews from Questlove describing the album as "everything." But after a 14-year hiatus, it's nice to see that D'Angelo is back!

Types of Linear Vaults
There are essentially two kinds of linear vaults that can be done with a dog. He can Catch and Carry the disc or Stretch to Catch the disc. Both are acceptable techniques, each with pros, cons, and stylistic differences.
Catch and Carry
The Catch and Carry vault is by far the more popular of the two. It features a catch made close to the handler's body, early in the vault trajectory. This allows the dog to get the target dialed in and make the catch early then cruise through the air with the disc in his mouth.
Catch and Carry vaults, if well thrown, are more safe than Stretch to Catch vaults because the dog has much more time to get the landing dialed in. He catches the disc early and is to work on the details of the landing throughout the flight path.
If a Catch and Carry vault is not well thrown, they can be more dangerous than a Stretch to Catch vault because the initial trajectory is off based upon the dog working to catch the disc.
Well thrown is a key phrase for vault safety.
Stylistically, the Catch and Carry vault allows a dog to look real cool and smooth. The vault looks easy and there is little drama. Check out Mo after a Catch and Carry ButterflyA butterfly toss is a throw that cascades end over end instead of spinning round and round, like flipping a coin. Catching a butterfly is more difficult than catching a stable spinning disc and is considered an advanced maneuver. Flips, vaulting, overs, and multiples are the types of tricks and sequences that normally feature butterfly tosses. The faster a butterfly... Back VaultThe dog uses the player´s body as a launching pad to jump for a disc. A Vault is a leaping catch from the handler's body. The dog leaves the ground for the target and uses the handler's body to get there. There are many different styles and variations of vaults, but they are commonly described by the part of the....

The Stretch to Catch vault is relatively old school. The disc is placed further out away from the handler along the dog's flight path. The dog has to launch a long way to get the target, he has to stretch way out there to make the catch.
Stretch to Catch vaults with dogs that do not have a strong sense of self preservation can be quite dangerous, as the dog has to lay himself out there in order to make the catch. There is little time for dialing in the landing after the catch. These vaults require strong throwing skills and a sensible dog.
In terms of stye, the Stretch to Catch vault is all about drama. It makes a vault look like a herculean task. The Stretch to Catch vault highlights the scale and athleticism of the dog and the throwing and handling skills of the handler.
Here are Apryl and EZ Ryder doing a Stretch to Catch Vault back in the day.

P.J. O'Rourke once said, "Everyone wants to save the world, but no one wants to do the dishes." I could rework O'Rourke's quote to say, "Everyone wants to live the Christian life, but we just don't want to put forth the effort." And it is an effort.
Greg Williams, reviewing the book The Year of Small Things: Radical Faith for the Rest of Us by Sarah Arthur and Erin Wasinger writes, "One of the most common critiques of radical Christianity is its root implausibility in the culture of the modern family." We are just too blame busy, too high strung, too competitive, and too insecure to model the way of Jesus. We want to live the Christian life, but how when the culture of the modern family doesn't allow it?
I think it's about doing the dishes. It's not particularly challenging work, but it takes discipline to keep from living in a mess.
This fall I want to practice Cross Generational Ministry using the "Faith 5" model. "Faith 5" is a way to act in church that's not particularly challenging, but it takes discipline. The 5 of "Faith 5" is Share, Read, Talk, Pray, and Bless. Church Council begins our meetings with "Faith 5." We share highs and lows. We read an appointed Bible verse, often from Sunday's lessons. We talk about how that verse speaks to our lives often in relation to our highs and lows. Then we pray about what we talked about. And finally we bless each other. We go around the room and bless our neighbor in a way we are comfortable. We can spend a solid forty five minutes practicing "Faith 5," and we still complete the meeting in two hours. More importantly, we connect to each other as we chart the vision for Prince of Peace.
Rev. Rich Melheim says that we need to do the business of the church, before we do the business of the church. Perhaps it's all about doing the dishes.
We will have two opportunities to practice Cross Gen Ministry using the "Faith 5" model as we now begin the fall season. Instead of formal Sunday School, we will offer "Table Talks." Our youngest to our oldest at Prince of Peace will be invited to sit at table and practice "Faith 5." Rich Melheim says, "here the wonder of the child meets the wisdom of the elder." While most of our days are about dividing the generations to their respective places, this will be an effort to bring our generations together.
The second opportunity is an invitation to share a meal on Wednesday September 27th, to explore ways that we can connect and covenant with each other to share our faith. I know, culture will tell us that such a model is implausible, we are too busy, and this sounds too weird, and maybe a little too risky to do church in this way; but I really believe it's about doing the dishes, having the discipline to really practice the faith.
I'm telling everyone that I am both terrified and excited about the fall. Terrified because I don't know exactly what this will all look like. But maybe that's just the point. Maybe we can offer a new model of passing on the faith that really connects us to Christ and each other, and really does make a difference in the crazy lives we lead. And that can be very exciting.
It's time to do the dishes.

The connection between fashion, femininity, frivolity and Frenchness has become a cliche. Yet, relegating fashion to the realm of frivolity and femininity is a distinctly modern belief that developed along with the urban culture of the Enlightenment. In eighteenth-century France, a commercial culture filled with shop girls, fashion magazines and window displays began to supplant a court-based fashion culture based on rank and distinction, stimulating debates over the proper relationship between women and commercial culture, public and private spheres, and morality and taste. Mary Wollstonecraft was one of those particularly critical of this 'vulgar' obsession with 'tawdry finery', declaring it to be 'merely the external mark of a depravity shared with slaves'. The story of how la mode was 'sexed' as feminine offers a compelling insight into the political, economic and cultural tensions that marked the birth of modern commercial culture. Jones examines men's and women's relation to fashion at this time, looking at both consumption and production to argue how clothing was becoming increasingly conceptualized as feminine/effeminate. A concise history of French fashion culture suitable for anyone interested in eighteenth-century culture, women and gender studies or fashion history.
'The recent release of Sofia Coppola's 'Marie Antoinette', with its lavish and detailed depiction of eighteenth-century court dress, suggests an enduring interest in the topic of fashion. As someone with a deep personal interest in 'La Mode', I was enormously pleased to be assigned the task of reviewing Jennifer M. Jones's book on fashion, gender and shopping under the Old Regime, especially since it is well-written and engaging.' Christine Adams, H-France Review

Us ladies who suffer from the dreaded curse of cellulite will probably have already heard about the Proskins leggings that promise to reduce the orange peel effect. We may even have a bottle or two of expensive lotions and potions that guarantee proven results when it comes to dealing with the dimpled skin associated with cellulite. We might even have tried brushing daily with a coarse brush and drinking litres of boring water.
If we were well up on our cellulite treatments, we could have even booked in for a Balancer session, in which we spend around forty minutes having our thighs and buttocks massaged and our lymph systems drained. But now it seems there is an even easier solution to our cellulite woes, and jeans brand Wrangler of all people have come up with a novel idea to help us suffering ladies.
The US jeans brand's 'Smooth Legs' skinny jeans from the new Denim Spa range are designed to tackle cellulite as they are made from fabric treated with orange peel-busting ingredients such as caffeine, retinol and algae extract.
And in clinical tests, Wrangler say that results showed that 69 per cent of those trialling the jeans reported an improvement in the appearance of their thighs. The US jeans company managed to get some volunteers to test the jeans at the Institut Adriant in France, wore the jeans for eight hours a day, five days a week during the six-week testing period.
The jeans in the Denim Spa range start at £85 per pair, and come three different styles; the skinny 'Courtney', 'Molly' and 'Corynn' styles. They go on sale on the 28th January at ASOS.com.
And although the interior coating only lasts for 15 wears, or between four and six washes, to combat this situation, canny Wrangler has also created a 'reload spray' to use after each wash, which should extend the beauty benefits for up to 95 wears.
And when that has finished, you'll still be left with a pair of super fine jeans, and super lovely dimple free thighs, hopefully!

US Army Wants Better Energy Storage, US Lab Delivers 3x Better
Read Full Article
The US Army is behind a new research project at the Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory that aims to send lithium-ion batteries spinning into a new era of high capacity energy storage. Among other things, that means more wind and solar grid integration, and that's kind of funny considering that right now DOE is making yet another stab at finding a way to save old coal and nuclear power plants from the dust bin of history. Good luck with that!

To arrest climate change, the Federal Government has introduced the National Solar Schools Programme to install Solar Power systems, Solar Hot Water systems, rainwater tanks and a range of energy efficiency measures in schools. Each Australian school is eligible for a grant of up to $50,000 to help increase awareness amongst the younger generation of renewable energy technologies.
Green Solar Group can help schools obtain government funding and give advice on the most cost effective way to improve the energy efficiency of schools. Green Solar Group consultants will visit your school to conduct an energy audit to identifying energy waste and to develop a quote to meet the schools priority requirements.
We can also provide educational material for students and local communities to explain how solar power works and how our systems reduce CO2. We can install equipment to monitor the performance of solar power systems and to show how they reduce a schools carbon footprint. When coupled with other Energy Efficiency improvements the installation of solar power can result in significant energy and finacial savings.
Please use the Contact form on the right for Energy Efficiency in Schools from Green Solar information and ordering.

I took the Deus down to my permission this morning to give it a bit of fresh air. Although I had detected Field 1 fairly thoroughly over the past 12 months I thought it worth seeing what the Deus made of the same area. Would it find all the goodies that the ADX 150 must have been missing? It seemed a good idea to have another good swing over the bottom third of the field, the area which 12 months ago produced a broken fibula, a broken Roman knife and a medival horse harness fitting.
I started off on Basic 1 and then tried the GMP programme. Three hours later, and I have nothing to show for the effort. The Deus has not found anything which the ADX 150 missed, and I'm frankly gobsmacked. I went back and forth across the bottom of the field parallel to the old hollow way. I tried a few random passes up and down from the hollow way to about a third of the way up the field and back again. Nowt. Bugger all. This can't be right. Am I missing faint signals because I don't have the headphones yet?
I retired in confusion.

"An often moving story about the corrosive power of shame." — Kirkus Reviews
East of Tulsa, Oklahoma, sits Murphy Manor, a grand southern-style antebellum mansion, the centerpiece of a ten-thousand acre ranch dotted with thousands of oil wells and black angus cattle. The property's most significant feature is the purple jacaranda trees flanking the drive up to the house. Since 1910, its owners J.T. and Geraldine Murphy have enjoyed supreme wealth and privilege. When her husband dies in 1938, Mrs. Murphy becomes a reclusive invalid, yet doesn't let that keep her from her omnipotent control.
It is 1954 and the ranch foreman's sixteen-year-old physically disabled daughter Emma does not realize that she is at the center of the most contemptible secret in Murphy Manor's history. With her family living on the property, Emma naively goes about her lonely and protected life doing what she can with her 'bum' leg. Her closest confidante is Mrs. Murphy's black housemaid Macie Mae. The two forge a strong bond and loving, companionable friendship. Emma is unaware that Macie Mae has been forced to keep all the Murphy secrets, an overwhelming burden Macie Mae must suffer alone.
Every summer Mrs. Murphy's twin grandsons Hank and Sean Thompson visit, reigniting the budding infatuation between Emma and Hank. Despite reprimands from both families to keep their distance, their mutual teenage passion unravels one hot June day in a sexually explicit exchange. Can Emma and Hank obey the adults' mandates to stay apart? Or will the one secret that plagues Emma the most be the catalyst that drives them apart?

Mal Stelck arrived at Selkirk College in Castlegar, B.C. in 1971 with a mandate to build its physical education and athletic programs, and coach the men's hockey team. He would hold the post for a little over a year before he attended a 1972 meeting that would form the CCAA.
Attending as a provincial representative for B.C.'s Totem Athletic Conference (now PACWEST), he would later serve as president of the provincial organization (1975-78), as well as president of the 4-West (1978-79), a precursor to the CCAA which included B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. As a result he had a clear grasp of the capabilities and aspirations of the western provinces, and became a significant contributor to the CCAA. He served one term as a provincial representative (1977-78), two as first vice-president (1979-82), three as president (1982-86), as well as past president (1986-89).
"It was a great privilege getting to know all the parts of this great country and working with others to reach mutually established goals," says Stelck. "I got to work with some of the nicest people that one could hope to meet."
It was an era of formative development for the CCAA. Stelck spent time as committee chair of both Constitution and Bylaws as well as Championship Format - Structure, shaping the outcome of both panels. The organization faced serious challenges during his presidency, including the drastic reduction of Sport Canada funding in 1985 and a subsequent attempt at professional fundraising.
But his memories of the CCAA remain fond ones, such as socializing after a good day's work and enjoying the incredible hospitality provided by the hosts of meetings and championships. "Watching the CCAA national championships and attending the special events that surrounded them was very rewarding."
Through it all Stelck remained at Selkirk College. He was instrumental in getting its sports and athletic facilities built, became director of student services and college relations, principal of the Castlegar campus, and then vice-president of education. He capped off his working career as vice-president, education and COO at BCIT (British Columbia Institute of Technology). Meanwhile the Mal Stelck Leadership Award is handed out to Selkirk students every year in honour of his remarkable achievements, and the Mal Stelck Award In Honour of Fair Play is awarded at each CCAA Men's Volleyball National Championship.
"Making a contribution, however small, to the evolution of the CCAA has been an honour and a privilege," says Stelck. "We old timers cherish the memories and offer our very best wishes to those now working to further the organization's goals."

Modularity meets high mating cycles
HARTING's Han® HMC series takes the ever-popular Han connector into the world of modular manufacturing and the Internet of Things. Let's take a look at how this new range is helping engineers implement the latest theories of production.
In modular production, which is a key requirement of Industry 4.0, system modules are changed several times every day. The aim is to be able to reset a system and change from manufacturing one product to another at any time. In extreme cases this might be to produce a batch size of one. The ability to replace system modules quickly is crucial. Interfaces for all the lifelines of industry are required: data, signal and power. As well as requiring a strong power supply, modular machines need to communicate frequently between their control systems and their peripherals.
Under industrial conditions, this means connection technology has to be both robust and flexible, and must continue to function perfectly even after a module has been plugged and unplugged a thousand times. Connectors ensuring such connections must ideally be designed to save space and combine different functions, simultaneously transmitting signals, data and power.
The HARTING Technology Group has developed the Han® HMC (High Mating Cycles) series to precisely meet these requirements. It connects housings in accordance with the tried and tested Han® standard with inserts and HMC contacts. The strategic enhancement of the portfolio now also allows modules from the well-established Han-Modular® series to be integrated in housing for high mating cycles, which puts HARTING in a position to meet the growing demands of modular production even more effectively.
Machines that consist of individually controllable parts can quickly be adapted to new requirements, thanks to universal interfaces. Ideally, connectors must combine different functions in a compact space. With Han-Modular® HMC, the HARTING Technology Group combines the key requirements of flexible manufacture – modularity and high mating cycles.
With the new Han-Modular® Hinged Frame HMC it is now possible to integrate modules in Han® HMC housing which have been designed for over 10,000 mating cycles. The main difference between conventional hinged frames and the new version is the PE contact. This has a special coating and has been attached to the frame in a particular way.
The combination of Han-Modular® with Han® HMC opens up a wide range of new options to users. For example, for the first time it is possible for a Han® HMC connector to include several types of transmission – data, signals and power – in the same connector which is furthermore robust enough to withstand 10,000 mating cycles. There are many options for different combinations.
Using connectors specially designed for high mating cycles cuts the cost of operation and maintenance in modular machines, while set-up times and downtimes are also shorter. Modular and hybrid interfaces also increase flexibility and save space. Han-Modular® HMC is therefore ideally suited for utilization as a central interface in Industrie 4.0.
The Han® HMC series is now available to buy from RS Components. Click the button below to see the range.

On May 17, 2015, the official inauguration of The Fuji Declaration was celebrated at the eleventh annual Symphony of Peace Prayers ceremony which took place at the Fuji Sanctuary, home of The Byakko Shinko Kai. The outdoor event field was filled to capacity with members, guests, and supporters, who came from the world over to commemorate this occasion. The three initiators of The Fuji Declaration, Masami and Hiroo Saionji and Dr. Ervin Laszlo, along with a large number of honorary signatories, witnessed the inauguration of this global initiative to awaken the 'divine spark' and ignite the spirit of oneness with diversity. The event was broadcast live on the internet with celebratory events in multiple locations worldwide.

East West Celebration
As the sun set in Denmark, it rose over Mt. Fuji, with over 1,000 participants gathering in the open field at Fuji Sanctuary. The symbolic East West Celebration, between Fuji and friends of Transition World (www.transitionworld.org) who gathered at the Kronborg Castle of Shakespeare's fame, was broadcast live on the internet. The three initiators of The Fuji Declaration each offered a few remarks to open the Ceremony, followed by a video message from Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a meditation practice from Fuji, and ending with a global meditation for peace and unity.

Opening with Music
The official program started later in the morning with close to 10,000 participants, 100 prayer leaders, and distinguished guests. At 10 am, the Symphony of Peace Prayers ceremony began with two musical performances – a short performance on the fujara, a traditional Slovakian instrument and a musical prelude by Kenji Williams (violin) and Kristin Hoffmann (vocals), who gave a performance of the piece, One Earth Choir written by Anna Bachia (www.OneEarthChoir.net).
Introducing The Fuji Declaration
The three initiators of The Fuji Declaration took the stage to introduce this momentous initiative. Masami Saionji, Chairperson of the hosting organization, Byakko Shinko Kai and the Goi Peace Foundation spoke first, followed by Hiroo Saionji, President of the Goi Peace Foundation, and then by Dr. Ervin Laszlo, Founder and President of the Club of Budapest. Each spoke about the significance of The Fuji Declaration at this time in human history and about the importance of the 'divine spark' as the key to a more awakened and evolved human civilization.
Tea Ceremony for World Peace
Dr. Genshitsu Sen, 15th generation Urasenke Grand Master, performed on the stage a special Japanese tea ceremony dedicated to world peace. Dr. Sen has long been a global advocate of culture and peace, promoting his ideal of "Peacefulness through a Bowl of Tea." His beautiful ten-minute tea ceremony, performed especially in honor of The Fuji Declaration, was carried out with grace and reverence as participants looked on in silence.
Praying with the religions of the world
An international group of prayer leaders, representing nine different faith traditions, offered prayers for peace from their respective traditions in a simple yet powerful demonstration of inter-religious harmony and understanding. Each prayer leader offered a prayer, on their own first, followed by the voices of 10,000 participants who joined in reciting the various interfaith prayers and mantras led by the faith representatives.
After the presentations by the faith representatives, Masami Saionji offered a short prayer and all participants followed by repeating the message of peace, May Peace Prevail On Earth.
Prayer for Peace in each country and gratitude for all life
One of the highlights of the Symphony of Peace Prayers is the World Peace Flag Ceremony inviting all in attendance to send prayers and wishes for peace to prevail in each country and region on earth. Flag bearers carrying the flags of 193 nations and an Earth Flag, representing 'all the other regions of the world,' ceremoniously entered the event field accompanied by original music composed by Mr. Kenichi Yamamoto. The presentation began with the sound of a bell and the message, May Peace Prevail On Earth. Then, as each nations' flag was presented on stage, participants prayed May Peace Prevail On Earth – May peace be in (name of country) in the national language of that country.
Following the world peace prayers, participants offered in unison their gratitude for all life on earth. In Japanese and English the words echoed throughout the event field: "Thank you, dear Oceans. Thank you dear Mountains. Thank you dear Animals," until all kingdoms of plants animals and all of creation were thanked. The practice of gratitude concluded with, "Thank you, dear Planet Earth. May Peace Prevail On Earth."
Inaugurating The Fuji Declaration
The three initiators once again took to the stage along with a large group of founding signatories. In addition to being among the first to endorse the declaration, this international group of distinguished individuals participated in the Tokyo Symposium on May 15th, where the principles of The Fuji Declaration were discussed in depth.
Each of the signatories was introduced, after which Masami Saionji read the text of The Fuji Declaration in Japanese, to fully anchor the intentions and principles behind the declaration. All attendants listened to the recitation in silence and reverence. To conclude this historic moment, the five principles of the declaration were read in English by five of the founding signatories and then in Japanese by all participants.
Harmony of sacred sounds
A musical medley of sacred sounds followed to imprint the principles of The Fuji Declaration furthermore into our hearts and souls. As the music unfolded, presenters made their way through the event field and onto the stage to perform a short Mudra ritual using Japanese folding fans. The ritual was an invocation using breath, sound, and movement, to bless the journey of The Fuji Declaration.
Sacred sounds continued with a Muslim call to prayer, performances by priests of the Tenreizan Tonenbo temple and the Gagaku Music Society of Tenri University. To close the musical interlude, Kristin Hoffmann performed a soulful composition along with Kenji Williams on violin sending the message, May Peace Prevail On Earth to the hearts of all participants.
Closing with speech and song
Yuka Saionji, Deputy Chairperson of the host organization, Byakko Shinko Kai gave a closing address thanking all participants for their dedicated work for world peace and especially to Mrs. Saionji for her unwavering belief in the 'divine spark' which exists within each human heart. She ended by remarking: "Today, the divine spark is starting to resonate from here, and you are the ones who made it happen."
Finale Song – We Are All Shining Divine Sparks
To conclude the event, all participants stood and joined in a finale song, "We Are All Shining Divine Sparks." Set to lyrics by Masami Saionji, the music was composed by well-known Japanese composer Toshiyuki Watanabe. The participants sang along accompanied by the voices of children from Hitoana Elementary School. The lyrics beautifully summarized the spirit of The Fuji Declaration:
Together, let us rise above our differences
Together, let us create a bright future
All exists in oneness, all is one
We are all shining divine sparks

Compromise critical to improving health care coverage, say 13 national patient advocacy organizations
(August 2, 2017) - WASHINGTON, D.C.
For more information please contact:
Allison MacMunn
[email protected]
13 nonpartisan patient and provider groups representing millions of Americans issued the following statement today regarding the recent consideration of health care reform proposals by the Senate:
"The legislative proposals put forward by the Senate for consideration last week would have jeopardized care for millions of patients across America. While our organizations did not support these measures, we recognize that Congress must move quickly to improve and strengthen the nation's health care system.
Bipartisanship is the only feasible path forward. Action is needed by Congress to provide cost-sharing reduction payments to protect low-income individuals and stabilize the marketplace. Simultaneously, it's critical that Congress address the affordability of health care in this country. Collaboration and compromise are essential parts of the process. Our organizations stand ready to work with lawmakers to find ways to make sure our current health care system provides quality and affordable health care that supports the well-being of all Americans."
The organizations include:
ALS Association
American Cancer Society
American Heart Association
American Lung Association
Arthritis Foundation
March of Dimes
MS Society
Muscular Dystrophy Association
The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease
National Health Council
United Way
Volunteers of America

Nicole Scherzinger could be about to quit The X Factor after appearing on four series.
Nicole Scherzinger has appeared a total of four series on The X Factor, and this year's could be her last.
Nicole is thinking seriously about not returning to the ITV show next year, she told The Sun: "I haven't signed yet, I'm just trying to get through this year. If I didn't come back, it's because I'm a singer first,
"I'm sitting there telling people what they should be doing when I should be doing it.
"I still have a lot of things I want to achieve, musically."
Nicole added to The Mirror: "I'm telling all these people on the show what they should be doing when I should be doing it myself. I really care and it's always a huge decision for me whether I come back or not because I know it's 100 per cent or nothing.
"As an artist I have to think about the next moves that I make and the kind of music and the kind of vision I want to create.
"Adele took some time to do that, Ed took some time to do that. I think every artist needs that, to reflect."
If Nicole quits there's already reports of Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon replacing her.
The X Factor 2017 continues this weekend on ITV.

the course had an impressive wealth of information and resources. I was impressed by the careful organization not only of the topics, but also of the exercises, especially the optional ones, which really helped to dive into specific details of the material, and were key to see things in practice. I have one suggestion for improvement. Although the videos were all of high quality, I think having 5-10 min videos with a single person speaking in front of a camera is not effective in conveying messages, especially because it is clear they are reading from a script. People behave and communicate more effectively when they are not reading directly form a curated text. the results is that reading the transcript of the video was better than watching the video itself. My suggestion would be to have conversations and/or debates on video, and leave detailed information for the written material. Finally the entire course was impressive for the knowledge and expertise of all the people involved, and despite my limited time I have also learned some important from the discussion forums. Thank you very much for making this available to us .

I really appreciated and like the course. From climate science to actions. We need all to act in order to reduce the climate effects on our planet. To keep the warm temperature under 2°C is the target focused by many countries under the Coop 21 Paris agreement. But we can still taking individual actions to reduce carbon. If you need to learn more I recommend you to through this online course and take your part of responsibility today.

Performing a Security Audit of Your Network
This is a topic that is important and is often over looked. When is the last time you performed a security audit? I ask this question because I have seen some interesting things the past few years. Let me give you an example. I was moving a file server for a client with highly sensitive data. What I found was the security on the sensitive files had anonymous access on them. Needless to say, I made a security change to them when they were moved.
Another client had a bunch of users in Active Directory that had domain admins rights. This is a privilege that only a few should have.
A security audit is a good idea at least once a year. What you should check is who has rights to shares and an audit of groups. You should also audit your file servers and file shares to ensure that you do not have users who should not have rights you should also audit your systems to ensure that they have the most current security patches on them.
Another item to audit is Antivirus and making sure that it is installed on your systems and it is updating. You should also review the virus scan central console and be able to provide a report of your protection settings.
Finally, the all mighty firewall should be audited. What you are looking for is unused rules and objects. If you do not need them, remove them. You should also make sure you are only allowing the protocols you need. If you are running an application aware firewall, move your rules to applications over ports.
A security audit is something that a third party can also provide. TBJ can provide the auditing for you. TBJ has been SANS security certified in auditing and has performed numerous audits over the years. Contact TBJ today to schedule your audit.
[divider_top][anchor name="techtip"]
Use A Random Name for Security Questions
Some Internet websites such as banking and brokerage ask for certain information to verify your identity. The questions range from your High School to your first pet. A tip is to put something totally different that you will remember. For example, instead of putting your first pet, put Yoda from Star Wars. This will make it something totally random and something that someone will not have to guess. Remember to use something unique (And don't use Yoda).

Final Thought of the Month – Backup and Disaster Recovery
How many of you have a disaster plan? Can you recover your systems quickly? If you have a total disaster, how will your business function? Most people only think about technology for Disaster Recovery. What they forget is what they are going to do with the people and how are they going to work.
You should appoint someone who is responsible for maintaining the plan. It is a living document that needs to be updated constantly. You should also plan for a total disaster and figure out what you will do without the building. If you are a printing company can you work out something a relationship with others in your industry to use their presses or what they are not using?
You also need to consider how you are going to communicate with your employees and have some sort of check-in system. That also means creating a master list of how to contact employees.
Finally, you should have a good disaster recovery system. It should backup your systems and have the ability to replicate them offsite and bring them up in the Cloud if needed. You should be able to be up and running in less than 24 hours after a disaster.
If you need a good Backup and Recovery solution, feel free to contact TBJ.

Caesar was my first acceptable condiment because it made salad edible (every lead with a crouton) however now I swear by kraft cucumber dressing – it makes any raw veggie edible for me. Yogurt can be a superb alternative – Greek yogurt smoothies have a whole lot of protein and permit you to incorporate fruits and veggies you won't in any other case like the taste of. It took me awhile to get over the 'bacteria' factor however yogurt is nice for you and making an attempt manufacturers like Activia which are smoother might be just like eating ice cream!

Now that the Gwent Challenger tournament is over, and the closed beta test has ended, CD Projekt Red are bringing forth the public open beta test for their Witcher III spinoff.
"Public Beta is the next step in the game's development process, one that we'd be honored to continue alongside everyone who's been with us thus far," said Benjamin Lee, Development Director at CD Projekt Red. "It's also a chance for many new gamers to play GWENT for the first time and we're looking forward to making the game even better with their help," added Lee.
You can watch the Public Beta overview live on CD Projekt Red's official Twitch channel. The stream will begin today (May 17) at 9 pm CEST – or 3 pm ET/12 pm PT.
Gwent's Public Beta is a fresh start for everyone, closed beta testers included. Card collections and player progress will reset to ensure gamers begin on equal footing. Everyone who participated in the Closed Beta will receive Card Kegs, as well as other in-game rewards for their activity, but other than that, they'll start out the same as everyone else. If you'd like to know just what you're getting for participating in the closed beta, more information is available here. I had a decent amount of fun with the closed beta, and I'm sure it'll be a pretty similar experience in the Public beta, but this time PS4 players can join in on the fun.
The switch from Closed to Public Beta will entail a short technical transition period starting May 22. Until the start of Public Beta on May 24, game servers will be offline for maintenance. During this time, Gwent's Facebook and Twitter pages will provide updates on the game's status.
Or you can just wait out the switch by rewatching the highlights of the Gwent Challenger tournament and try to pick up some tips from the pros.
