"What's his problem?"
Coffee is one of the World's most sought after beverages and it also has the potential to be extremely caffeinated. With that being said, it comes as no surprise that many people find themselves reaching for a cup of decaf later in the afternoon in order to avoid the effects of caffeine. Decaffeinated coffee is just like coffee except for the small fact that the caffeine has been removed making it an excellent alternative for those who choose to limit their daily caffeine intake.
Decaf coffee is coffee from beans that have been stripped of 97% of their caffeine content. (97% is the international standard for decaffeination, but the European Union's standards require no less than 99.9% of caffeine to be removed from the beans.) There are a few ways to remove the caffeine from the coffee beans, most of which include some form of soaking in water, organic solvents, or carbon dioxide.
The decaffeination process
In order to strip the beans of their caffeine, the beans are soaked in the water or solvent that allows the caffeine to leach from the beans. The remaining liquid is then passed through a filter to separate the caffeine from the other beneficial compounds. Then the caffeine deficient solvent is reintroduced to the beans and the beans reabsorb those flavors. It should also be noted that the beans undergo the decaffeination process before being roasted and ground. The nutritional aspects of decaffeinated coffee are quite identical to regular coffee, aside from the obvious almost non-existent caffeine content. The only things that may appear different are the distinct tastes and smells of decaf and regular coffee. Decaffeinated coffee may provide a milder scent and flavor as well as a color difference depending on the decaffeination method used.
As I have mentioned before, decaffeinated coffee is never 100% caffeine free. Even though it comes pretty close to that 100% mark, decaf usually contains about 3 milligrams per cup. This is a miniscule amount when compared to the 70-140 milligrams of caffeine in a regular cup of coffee.
Health benefits
It's also no secret that coffee has many nutritional perks; Coffee is said to be the largest source of antioxidants in our diets. Antioxidants are effective at reducing oxidative damage and they are also said to be associated with the prevention of heart diseases, type II diabetes, and even some types of cancer. (There's no way to test this, but there are links between drinking coffee and prevention of these diseases.) Decaf typically holds levels of antioxidants that are similar to the levels of regular coffee, but sometimes it can contain levels that are up to 15% lower than the normal amount. This loss of antioxidants usually occurs during the decaffeination process.
On top of containing its fair share of antioxidants, decaf yields small amounts of important nutrients. One cup of decaf provides 2.4% of the recommended magnesium per day, 2.5% of vitamin B3, and 4.8% of potassium. It doesn't seem like much, but it adds up rapidly if you drink 2-3 cups of coffee per day! With that said, go drink some of your daily nutrients! (Caffeinated or decaffeinated. It's your choice!)
Happy Cold Brewing!

TDRC's HIGH SPEC 20 AWG Servo Extensions! If you're running a long length of servo wire that can drop current, then these are highly recommended for this application. As always these have soft silicon wire that doesn't get hard after a season or so. GOLD connections, braided wire to reduce RFI noise. Furthermore these are 100 STRAND COUNT WIRES reducing and lowering the internal resistance getting you more current to your servo! These are UNIVERSAL which means they will work with JR or FUTABA alike. The best part is the price as this is the cheapest you will find anywhere for 20 AWG Wires! NOTE that our wire is REAL soft supple silicon wire of the best quality for electronics. Some advertise silicon wire that is actually PVC wire that will fail in hard use, and unrealistic strand counts. NOT OURS!!!!!!

Great products heavy duty
Posted by Ben Thompson on 1st Dec 2017
His is the wire to go with if you want a quality product. No voltage drop to a demanding servo. I use them to overcome a brownout i was getting from HV servos.
Posted by Joe on 30th Nov 2017
Great connectors, wire is soft and supple
Posted by Dave Adams on 24th Jun 2016
This is the second giant scale airplane that I have the 20 gauge aileron extension cables in. The high torque high voltage servos need more than the standard gold heavy duty aileron extension that every hobby shop has. There is a minimum voltage drop when using Tail Dragger RC 20 gauge cables. They are extremely high quality and very fairly priced. Actually less expensive that JR or Futaba cables.
Posted by Allen Small on 13th Mar 2015
You can't beat the size and quality of these extensions for today's current hungry servos.
Posted by Unknown on 2nd Sep 2014
Best extensions I have found on the market. The 20 ga wire will reduce voltage loss to the servos protecting power and speed.

Kennedy's Disease, or X-linked motor neuron disease, is a rare inherited neuromuscular disorder also known as X-linked recessive bulbospinal neuropathy or X-linked spinal and bulbar atrophy. It is an adult onset, progressive disorder, characterised by the degeneration of lower motor neurons within the spinal cord and brainstem. This causes progressive weakening and wasting of the muscles particularly in the arms and legs.
Although the disorder predominantly affects males, it can only be passed on through female carriers of the gene. As the mutation is on the X chromosome, the disease affects males as they have only one X chromosome. For female carriers, it is possible that their sons may get the disease, and their daughters may become carriers. Sons of affected males do not get the disease since the male does not pass on his X chromosome.
It is estimated that 1 in 40,000 people have this genetic defect and because it is relatively rare, Kennedy's Disease is often initially misdiagnosed or goes undiagnosed for years. There is no cure for Kennedy's disease and no current treatment available.
Facts of KD
- it is a rare disease
- there is no cure
- the defect is in the 'X' Chromosome
- generally it affects males
- women are carriers (in rare cases they can suffer too)
- testosterone becomes a poison to the body
- the majority of the research funding's has been private donations.
Living with KD
- medications to reduce muscle cramps and tremors
- plenty of rest and avoidance of exhaustion
- healthy, balanced diet
- gentle and regular aerobic exercise
- regular stretching to help reduce muscle cramping
- pain management
- speech, occupational and physiotherapy.
The many symptoms of Kennedy's disease generally first appear when the person is aged between 30 and 50 years old. Every case is different, but some form of physical disability will take hold. What starts with small trips and falls, can eventually lead to wheel chair confinement and full-time care.
Often symptoms begin with painful cramping and uncontrollable muscle spasms. Over time the disease will attack most of the muscles often making it difficult to even swallow liquids.
On-set symptoms can include any or all of the following
- swallowing difficulties
- speech difficulties
- hand tremors
- shaky muscles when holding certain postures
- muscle weakness, wastage, twitches, cramps and spasms
- enlarged calf muscles due to constant cramping
- localised areas of numbness
- absent reflexes
- enlarged breast tissue (gynaecomastia)
- impotence
- low sperm count
- shrunken testicles
- reduced sex drive
How is KD diagnosed?
There are various methods of diagnoses. Your GP can refer you to a neurologist in your area and they can take a blood test to establish if KD is present. On some occasions a blood test isn't necessary as the disease is visually recognisable and your neurologist can carry out certain physical tests at the appointment.
Who is affected by KD?
Men suffer with KD, however, there have been some rare cases of females suffering with the disease too.
When does KD kick in?
KD usually starts to affect people in the 30's to 50's. There have been earlier reported cases and later reported cases too.
Is there any medication to take to help with the offset of the disease?
No. Some reports have been made that taking herbal remedies i.e. tumeric can alleviate muscle weakness but no trials have proved this helps.

Modern Language Association, or MLA, format is one of the major writing styles used in academic and professional writing. This style is especially common when you are writing in the humanities. If you are writing a paper for a course, then make sure to check the instructions the professor or teacher has provided to see if MLA format is a requirement. If so, you will need to learn and follow the guidelines for using MLA format.
Part 1 of 8:
Creating a Cover Page
1Do not include a separate cover page unless specifically told to do so. According to standard MLA formatting rules, a cover page, or separate title page, is not necessary and should not be added to most papers.[1]
- With that in mind, sometimes an instructor will ask students to create a cover page for an MLA style paper, especially for long papers. There are guidelines concerning the type of information that should be included in this event.
2Center your title. Your title should be centered and typed one-third of the way down from the top of the page.[2]
- The title of your page should be informative yet creative.
- If you include a subtitle, type it on the same line as the title and separate the two with a colon after the title.
- The first letter of every major word should be capitalized. Do not capitalize minor words, like "the," "and," or "to," unless they are the first word of the title or subtitle.
3Include your full name. In the middle of the page, still centered, you should type your name proceeded by the word "By."[3]
- Type "By" on one line, hit the "Enter" key on your keyboard, and type or full name on the following line.
- Your name should be in FirstName LastName format.
4Wrap things up with your class, instructor's name, and due date. Two-thirds down from the top of the page, you should include this block of essential information about the assignment itself.[4]
- Type the class and section number on one line.
- On the line immediately after, write the instructor's name.
- On the final line, type the date your paper is due in Month Numerical Day, Numerical Year format.
Part 2 of 8:
Following General MLA Format
1Create 1 in (2.5 cm) margins. The top, bottom, left, and right margins should each be 1 in (2.5 cm) wide.[5]
- For most word processing programs, you can change the margins by heading into the "Page Layout" settings, usually located under a "File" menu. There should be a "Margins" heading in the dialog box. From there, change each margin to the appropriate size.
2Double-space your paper. From the first page on, your entire paper should be double-spaced. Note that you do not need to include any extra space at the end of a paragraph.[6]
- For most word processing programs, you can change the spacing by going into the "Page Layout" settings, typically accessed from a "File" menu." There should be a "Line Spacing" heading in the dialog box. Under that heading, select "2.0" spacing.
3Use 12-point font. The preferred font and size for MLA papers is 12-point Times New Roman.[7]
- If you opt to use another font instead of Times New Roman, choose a font that is simple, easy to read, and not excessively large.
4Create a running header. A running header will appear on each page in the same spot. It should include your last name and the page number of each page, and should be positioned in the upper right corner of the page.[8]
- Access the "Header and Footer" tool in your word processor, often found under the "View" menu. Type your last name and hit the page number icon in the options box to automatically insert the current page number on its corresponding page.
Part 3 of 8:
Formatting the First Page
1Type your heading in the upper left corner. The heading essentially includes all the information a cover page would include when used. Type your full name, instructor's name, course name, and due date in the upper left corner.[9]
- Type your full name FirstName LastName on the first line.
- On the next line, type your instructor's title and name.
- On the third line, type the the class course number.
- Include the date your assignment is due on the last line. It should be in Numerical Day Month Numerical Year format.
2Center your title. On the line immediately following the date, you should type your paper's title. This title should be centered.[10]
- Do not make the title larger, italicized, underlined, or bold printed.
- The title of your page should be informative yet creative.
- If you include a subtitle, type it on the same line as the title and separate the two with a colon after the title.
- The first letter of every major word should be capitalized. Do not capitalize minor words, like "the," "and," or "to," unless they are the first word of the title or subtitle.
3Write the body of your paper. On the line immediately following the title, left-align your text and begin writing the introduction paragraph of your paper.Advertisement
Part 4 of 8:
Formatting the Body of the Paper
1Indent the first line of each paragraph. The first line of each paragraph must be indented by 0.5 in (1.3 cm).[11]
- Indent the first line by hitting to "Tab" key on your keyboard.
- You do not need to separate paragraphs with extra line spacing. This indentation alone is enough to mark the start of a new paragraph.
2Separate the body of the paper into section headings when appropriate. If your paper is long, your instructor may request that you separate certain portions of it into various section headings.
- The recommendation for section headings under the MLA style is to number each section with an Arabic number and a period. Follow the period with a space before typing the section name.[12]
- The first letter of each word in the section name should be capitalized.
- Section headings should usually be centered on the page and given their own separate lines.
3Provide a figure number when including a picture or table. When you include a table or figure in your MLA paper, center the figure and provide a figure number, label, and source information.
- Use "Fig. 1," "Fig. 2," etc. for illustrations and photographs. Use "Table 1," "Table 2," etc. for tables and charts.
- Quickly label the figure with a descriptive term like "cartoon" or "statistical table."
- Provide the creator's name, the source the figure was published in, the date of publication, and the page number.
- All of the information should be included on a single line below the picture.
Part 5 of 8:
Using In-Text Citations
1Include parenthetical citations for all borrowed material. Whenever you include a direct quote, paraphrase, or summary in your paper, you must cite the source of that material in parentheses after the material is presented.[13]
- When the information is available, include the author's last name and the page number from which the material came.
- If the materials came from an online source and no page number is available, you only need to include the author's name.
- If no author's name is available, include an abbreviated portion of the source material's title.
- Note that if you introduce the author's name earlier in the sentence, you do not need to include the name in the parentheses, as well.
2Format an "in-line" quotation. Most quotations will be "in-line," meaning that no special formatting is required and they can be treated as normal text.[14]
- Always include a quote as part of another sentence. Never write a "hanging quote," a type of quotation in which only the quote is presented without any lead in. For example, introduce sentences with some kind of context, such as: Churchill argued for the importance of the initiative when he declared, "Britain must unite behind this measure" (Author 21).
- Commas and periods should follow the parenthetical citation, and the parentheses should fall outside of the ending quotation marks.
3Format a block quote. Quotes that are longer than three lines should be separated from the rest of the text in the form of a block quote.[15]
- After you type the last word that comes before your quote, hit the "Enter" key to move to a new line.
- Each line of a block quote should be indented another 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) in.
- You do not need to include quotation marks for a block quote, but you still need to include a parenthetical citation.
Part 6 of 8:
Formatting the Endnotes Page
1Center the "Notes" title. Do not italicize, bold, or underline this heading.[16]
- If you inserted any notes into your document, the notes themselves should be included as endnotes that are listed on a separate page after the main body of the paper. Do not include them as footnotes, which are listed at the foot of each page as they appear.
2Number your endnotes. If you inserted your endnotes using an endnote tool on your word processor, the numbering should already be done for you.[17]
- Otherwise, make sure that each endnote is preceded by an Arabic number that corresponds to a number places in the section of the paper's body that relates to the information provided by the endnote.
- The first line of each endnote should be indented by 1/2 inch (1.25 cm).
3Include brief yet important information in your notes. Endnotes should be used to discuss information that does not coherently fit into the paragraph it relates to.[18]
- Your endnotes should not exceed three or four lines in lengths. Avoid long discussions. Endnotes are not the right time to bring up entirely new points.
Part 7 of 8:
Including an Appendix
1Center the "Appendix" heading. Do not italicize, bold, or underline the heading.[19]
- If including multiple appendices, label each as "Appendix A," "Appendix B," and so on.
2Add related but unnecessary information. The information in an appendix should relate to the information in your paper, but it should not be crucial or essential to your argument.
- An appendix is a way to include related information without distracting from the main argument of your paper.
Part 8 of 8:
Creating the Works Cited Page
1Center the "Works Cited" heading. Do not italicize, bold, or underline the heading.[20]
- Your "Works Cited" page should include all the texts you directly referenced in the body of your paper.
- All papers written in MLA format must include a "Works Cited" page.
2Alphabetize your cited material. All of your citations should be listed in alphabetical order according to the authors' last names.[21]
- If a text does not have a known author, arrange that citation in alphabetical order according to the first word of the article or book title.
3Cite a book.[22] The basic format for a book citation includes the author's name, the title of the book, the publication information for that book, and the medium of publication.
- Write the author's name in LastName, Firstname" format. Follow with a period.
- Italicize the book title and capitalize the first letter of each word. Follow with a period.
- Write the city of publication followed by a colon, and include the publisher's name after that. Follow this with a comma and the year of publication. End with a period.
- Type the medium of publication, "Print" or "eBook," at the end. Finish with a period.
- For example, your book citation should look like similar to this: Ash, Beth Sharon. Writing in between: Modernity and Psychosocial Dilemma in the Novels of Joseph Conrad. 1st ed. New York: St. Martin's Press, 1999.
4Cite a journal article. A standard journal article includes the author's name, title of the article, title of the journal, issue information, and medium of publication.
- Write the author's name in LastName, Firstname format. Follow with a period.
- Include the title of the article in quotation marks and follow with a period. The first letter of each word should be capitalized.
- Italicize the title of the journal and follow with a period. The first letter of each word should be capitalized.
- Write the issue number, followed by the year of publication in parentheses. Put a colon after the year and include the page numbers after this. Follow with a period.
- Finish with the medium of publication and a final period.
- A finished journal article citation should look similar to this: Aiex, Nola Kortner. "Martins Pena: Parodist." Luso-Brazilian Review 18.1 (1981): 155–160.
Community Q&A
QuestionIs a bibliography included in the MLA format?Community AnswerYes, but you title it "Works Cited" instead of "Bibliography," it's the same thing.
QuestionIf cite an article (with author) in the work, and I come to another point in my paper where information from this article is used, do I just write the author's last name in parenthesis?Community AnswerWhen in the actual paper, always cite with author and page number after a quotation.
QuestionWhat about footnotes?Community AnswerThere are no footnotes in MLA. Cite with the author's last name and page number in parenthesis after a quotation.
Can preface, acknowledgment, and a table of content be included when writing in MLA format?
Is the works cited the same as an annotated bibliography. If not, where do you put it?
- Always ask your instructor about what they prefer. Some have their own preferences or are extremely picky about some aspects of the format.Thanks!

a-n have just published a very interesting report by Dany Louise called 'A fair share' which looks at the funding going direct to individual (visual) artists. It's a thorough and interesting piece of work which compares the situation in the various parts of the UK, application and success rates and other factors. I don't really have time to do it justice, but wanted to bring it to your attention if you've not seen it yet. Dany's Louise's conclusion is that 'shockingly few individual artists apply for funding in their own right, and even fewer are successful. What this means is that there is little direct funding being given to artists to pursue and develop their own projects, under their own control - under 20% of available funding for the visual arts in England, 14% for Northern Ireland and around 18% for Scotland and Wales in 2009-2010.'
One thing I do find problematic is the notion of 'fair shares' for different art forms or artists working in different artforms. Is there a 'natural' proportion we should refer to, and if so based on what? Size of audiences - and do you get more or less if your potential audience is bigger? Numbers of 'professional' artists? Cost of production in your artform? How big the market failure is in your artform? All might produce different results for any single artform.
The key point though, which I agree with strongly, is that applying for and controlling your own funds can be hugely empowering for individual artists. In 'adaptive resilience' terms, it gives and artists 'assets' to use. My sense is that in England the application process as a whole has become less supportive of individual artists over the years since Grants for the arts was first introduced nearly a decade ago, when it was a fairly seismic shift in some regions where individual artists had had less support. When it began significant emphasis was placed on supporting artists to have their own big ideas – or to 'bring their own bottles to the party' as one of the main architects of Grants for the arts Andrew Dixon used to say. (And indeed still says in this very interesting Variant interview.) Certainly in the North East we funded some brave and bold individual applications, in all artforms.
This did, however, become increasingly difficult as each revision of the scheme introduced new layers of absolute consistency and greater need to create what you might call 'project-shaped projects' rather than, say, artistic investigations. One which sometimes made me scratch my head – from my seat around decision-making tables but not having to assess applications – was the increased requirement to 'evidence demand'. Whilst not unreasonable in some circumstances, this is harder for individual artists to do – and less appropriate to many, especially when applying to support new work. It makes it harder to back the talent. Hopefully the new focus on talent development will provide some corrective to this tendency.

Why you must reinvent your business–and why you must start by transforming operations.
In the 1970's, Japanese automakers began surprising their North American counterparts by bringing new cars to market much more quickly, and at a better price/performance ratio. With that slap in the face, documented in Jim Womak's book The Machine that Changed the World, those car manufacturers became aware of continuous improvement and the Toyota Production System.

Daily Dozen with Finnish Artist Matilda Enegren
Matilda Enegren was born in 1989 in Vasa, Finland, and is currently based in Jakobstad, Finland. She graduated from Novia University of Applied Sciences, Nykarleby (FIN), in 2012, with a BA degree in Painting, Fine Arts.
"I work with painting, and as a base for my images I use photos taken by myself or others. In my search for images, I focus on daily life, inconsequential situations (interesting lighting), and moments containing something subtle that strikes me. I study the photos and try to identify what that is. How much of myself is in other people, and do I know when I see things for what they really are? By painting, I can transform the overwhelming archive of conscious and unconscious pictures and impressions that exist in my mind" – is how Enegren describes her way of working.
Swedish paper bag girls, 2014. 70 x 100cm, watercolor and gouache on paper
Her work is included in the just-launched wide-ranging and exhilarating survey of largely unknown talents – the book "100 Painters of Tomorrow", written by Kurt Beers and published by Thames & Hudson, and it can be seen in "100 Painters of Tomorrow" group show at Tribeca, New York, from November 6, 2014.
What's the best moment of your day?
When I get a glimpse of the sun while walking to school.
Why do you work as an artist?
It has always been the only profession I could ever think of.
Which films, concerts, exhibits, or books have left a lasting impression on you?
There are three films that I recently saw: Alice Rohrwacher's "The Wonders", Anna Odell's "Återträffen", and Robert Bresson's "Mouchette".
Where do you currently get ideas for your works?
From walking along the streets of Gothenburg.
Which work(s) of art would you like to have in your possession?
Works from my artist friends.
What do you do when you're not occupied with art?
At the moment, I am busy with assignments and things connected to my education, but otherwise, I like to go for walks.
Do you sleep a lot?
At least eight hours a day.
Do you collect anything?
Yes, I collect matchboxes that I find on the street, but I only keep the inner part, the box.
What is one of the most important things in your studio?
The computer or phone, so that I can play music or listen to podcasts.
What do you like to eat, and what don't you like?
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day: rye bread, cheese, an egg and coffee. I also love dark chocolate. I don't like to cook, but I love to eat proper food, any food.
When you were a kid, what did you want to be?
A painter.
Name three creative individuals, from any era, with whom you'd gladly spend an evening.
I am not very talented in a social sense, so I become very nervous when I think about meeting people I haven't met before; but I would be curious to meet Paula Modersohn-Becker, Käthe Kollwitz and Helene Schjerfbeck.

A mysterious summons from the hive of evil and treachery known as... Southtown. A mysterious figure has called our heroes, along with some of the toughest dudes and dudettes in the world, to the old neighborhood, the neighborhood of shadows and illusions, the neighborhood of despair and fear, the neighborhood known as, you guessed it... Southtown. What secret lies behind this call to the contest known as "The King Of Fighters", a contest offering unheard of fame and wealth? Who will steal the laurels victory and what depth of wickedness will these laurels plunge the winner of this match of brawn and wits? ====================================================== ----- Name: Ryo Sakazaki (The Wild Karate Guy) ----- Age: 22 ----- Height: 179cm ----- Weight: 68kg ----- Blood Type: O ----- Country: Japan ----- Style: Kyoku Gen Karate ----- Voice Actor: Masaki Usui ----- Stage: National Park ----- Story: Scion of the creator of "Kyoku Gen Karate", Takuma Sakazaki, he has been passing the previous year since the rescue of his cute kid sister Yuri in the Japanese Alps, bathing in the frigid streams and dancing on the sharp rocks of Mt.

Raja Krishnamoorthi – How will you represent atheist voters?
To learn about the question campaign, watch this video, and join the "What will you do for the atheist voters?" campaign page.
Raja Krishnamoorthi is a democratic candidate running for the 8th district of Illinois in the 2012 congressional race. He formerly ran for Illinois Comptroller in 2010 but lost the nomination by roughly one percentage of the vote. On February 27, 2012, I was able to attend a town hall meeting at Schaumburg Central Library in Schaumburg, IL to ask Raja how he would represent the atheist voters of the 8th district.
From Raja's biography:
Raja currently serves as President of Sivananthan Laboratories, a Bolingbrook-based business dedicated to the research, development and commercialization of cutting-edge products and technologies in national security and renewable energy. The company specializes in night vision military technology, solar cells, biosensors to detect weapons of mass destruction, and radiation detectors.
Before joining his current company, Raja served as Deputy Treasurer for Illinois where he helped revamp the state's unclaimed property system by increasing the amount of returned property while cutting the program's costs. He also helped to run the technology venture capital fund, which has helped create hundreds of good-paying jobs in Illinois.
In 2006, Raja was appointed by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan to serve as Special Assistant Attorney General to help start her Public Integrity Unit. Before that, he served as a member of the Illinois Housing Development Authority where he was Chairman of the Audit Committee.
After Raja responded to how he would represent atheist voters, I asked him a follow up that included what his reaction and thoughts were concerning the accidental Quran burnings in Afghanistan, the resultant apologies, and the continued violence in Afghanistan. I also asked about reconciling the fiscal decisions of Illinois concerning recently continued tax exemptions to Sears and Illinois Governor Pat Quinn's latest budget which includes cuts to the already overburdened prison system and mental health facilities.
Unfortunately, a lively audience resulted in Raja not giving a full response to the Afghanistan question. There is a very thorough response from one of the audience members that can be seen in the video. Raja and his campaign staff have been contacted and offered the opportunity to articulate what he was unable to that night.
Two other questions also featured in the video below which were asked by others include the question of legalization of marijuana and the importation of prescription drugs currently restricted by Medicare Part D.
I also asked Raja Krishnamoorthi about his value of investing further in research and development as well as infrastructure which is supported by the NAP charter. I asked him what types of investments he would support nationally and what he would seek to allocate for in the 8th district. Unfortunately, this was not captured on film, but Raja demonstrated a thorough command of the needs of the 8th district and the many projects on hold, including western access to O' Hare Airport, extending 53 North, and suburban transit that routes through the suburbs.
Special thanks to Sean Moran for his camera work.

Friday November 10th Vermont Tech Men's and Women's team traveled to Virginia Beach, VA for the USCAA National Cross Country Championships. The 6KM women's race was held at the Virginia Beach Sports complex. Race day was very windy and the trails were muddy from days of rain. On the Women's side senior Rebecca Broadbent finished in 3rd place overall with a personal record time of 23:48, followed by Freshman Jocy Turinetti who also ran a personal fastest time of 29:52 finishing 70th overall. Jocy was followed by Masha Goodspeed ( 92nd ) with her best 6K time of 31:44. All 3 Women ran their fastest time of the season.
On the Men's side Vermont Tech had 4 runners take part in the 8KM race. The Men were led by Junior Dave Mattern who ran to a 92nd place finish with a 31:53 time. Dave was followed by Michael Dunkle finishing 105th with a 33:00 minute time; Jonathan Puffer finishing at 109th in 33:10 and Mathew Kelly 113th at 33:37. The men had a 1:44 spread which is really good for team training. We are looking forward to next year when both teams expect to add a few runners with new recruits and keeping the most of the current team so we are looking at a strong team for 2018.
