Chris: Same problems, different day
As utterly embarrassing as Sunday's loss to Manchester City was for Manchester United fans, we didn't learn anything new about the team from the 4-1 thrashing Ralf Rangnick's side received at the Etihad Stadium.
The result was, once again, due to a culmination of issues that have been on display all season. Harry Maguire had yet another shocking defensive display, and the leadership United needed him to display as captain in order to overcome a 2-1 deficit at half time was nonexistent in the second half. Victor Lindelof struggled next to the captain, as was the case as a centre-back pairing last season.
Fullbacks Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Alex Telles were equally poor in all areas of the game—especially defending in one-on-one situations. It's time for Diogo Dalot to start at right back once again, and Luke Shaw will have to regain form quickly in order to make a needed impact at left back.
The performance once again showed us that Fred and Scott McTominay don't complement each other in a midfield pair, as United lost the midfield battle to superior side that retained 70% of possession. The summer transfer window can't come quickly enough, as the team desperately needs a defensive midfielder to anchor the midfield.
There are too many problems that need to be fixed at this point of the season, and United's crosstown rivals made the club look helpless today. Here's to hoping that Spurs doesn't do the same on Saturday.
Colin- Some defeats really encapsulate everything gone wrong
Some losses just sum up everything that has been wrong in a bad season, and that was the case in the Manchester Derby loss. Despite a first half with some bright moments a couple of glaring errors meant City led at the break, and then after the break United came out and played like a team that had just quit on the game. Even players I've staunchly defended were indefensible on the day, and it's just made me all the more ready to end this season now. This is easily the most miserable I've been following the club since the final Jose days of 18/19, and might even replace that as the new low. It's probably a long shot to even qualify for the Champions League at this point as Arsenal keep winning and are above us even with 3 games in hand. Unless the win the Champions League they're likely playing Europa or Conference League football next season (yuck) and will once again be starting fresh with a new manager and the same bloated squad assembled by several different managers with sometimes clashing philosophies. That's reflected now often with a manager who is trying several things but rarely putting together a truly positive performance as he tries to salvage what he can from this season.
Tactically It never seemed likely that United would sustain the kind of pressure they put on City leading up to their equalizer, and it was clear after the break that Pep wasn't going to let them back off again. You have to play so carefully against this side and avoid making virtually any individual errors. Without playing compact as United have done in recent wins over City, the errors just led to total calamity at the back and they were deservedly punished.
There are several quality players in this squad, and most of the starting XI even I'd say should remain at the club, but the loss reflected the total blow to morale that this team has suffered and continues to fail to recover from. It just feels like the reset of a new season will at least shake that from them, but perhaps that's too hopeful. Unfortunately that's about all we can ever do from where we sit, but boy has it gotten tougher lately.

We will be beginning a new study on Sunday, February 12th!
We will be discussing Acts, by Dr. David Jeremiah. There are 12 chapters, each about 12 pages long. There is some 'homework,' that is, a few thought-provoking questions to answer. The Bible passages are printed in the book, so we will all be reading the same translation. However, reading from another translation is certainly a great idea and often brings a richness to our discussion.
This is a 12-week opportunity to grow in your Christian walk.
We chose this book as a follow-up to our last book about reaching others for Christ since Acts is about the growth of the early church.
Bible Study meets Sunday Mornings at 11:15am, after worship.
In-person and Online with zoom

WWE has been in partnership with Hulu for the past couple of years with the latter gaining access to past episodes of RAW, SmackDown, NXT as well as other shows. However, WWE's Premium Live Events and exclusive shows continued to air on WWE Network on Peacock.
Earlier this year, it was reported that WWE's deal with Hulu was coming to an end and if both parties weren't able to reach an agreement, then WWE's content library would have to find a new home. However, it doesn't seem like that may happen anytime soon.
Ringside News founder Steve Carrier reported from WWE's 2022 3rd quarter earnings call that WWE and Hulu will carry on their deal into 2023.
WWE has a short-term extension with Hulu as they are entering into negotiations for TV deals next year.
This means that Hulu will continue to air previous episodes of its weekly television shows until the contract extension expires. Hopefully, fans will have no trouble finding WWE content, no matter what kind of deal the company strikes.
This news will keep Hulu subscribers pleased, as they can still continue to watch their favorite WWE shows. It will be interesting to see if they will re-sign with Hulu once this extension expires as well.
What do you make of WWE's extension with Hulu? Let us know in the comments section.

If you're looking to buy a vape online or find a right vape yourself or for friend to make a switch, you may have already discovered that e-cigarettes generally fall into one of two main categories: disposable and rechargeable vapes.
While most advanced users prefer rechargeable devices, there is definitely a time and a place for disposables, especially for beginners.
Here, let's take a look at the pros and cons of each to help you decide for yourself.
Pros of disposable vape
Disposable vape pens are the most convenient and easy-to-use option.
These devices come prefilled with e-liquid – no filling required and no need to buy your own juice. No refilling, no charging, no button, no fuss. It's easy for all vape users to start puffing right out of the box and all you have to do is simply vape!
And you can taste different flavors which play a key role in supporting smokers to quit and stay quit. All vapers who have switched from smoking are different and you should be open to trying different flavors. This is part of your quitting journey.
Cons of disposable vapes
Compared to rechargeable vapes, disposable vapes cannot change the e-juice in most disposables. Disposable e-cigs don't come with accessories such as chargers and the battery life is limited. Some users feel that disposable e-cigs are not as environmentally friendly a choice as rechargeable options or that they simply don't feel as durable as rechargeable devices.
Pros of rechargeable vapes
If keeping your environmental footprint as light as possible is important to you, then you may want to choose a rechargeable e-cigarette. Instead of disposing of it when the battery dies, you'll simply charge the battery and continue using the same device. This makes rechargeable e-cigs, vape pods, and other devices more eco-friendly.
Cons of rechargeable vapes
Rechargeable e-cigs require more work than disposables. You'll have to charge the battery regularly and change the cartridge, which means that these devices are not quite as easy to "grab and go". It's hard for new vapers or starters to operate coil or cartridge change.
Rechargeable vapes are generally higher-quality and come with chargers and other accessories, they can cost a little more upfront. What's more, the coils and e-juice are most cost for this kind of vapes. Therefore, when you buy a rechargeable vapes, you should have to consider the coil adaptability and whether you can easily buy it online or your nearby.
Which is Right for You?
Disposable vs Rechargeable? It depends on what you value.
If you want something you can take on the go, disposable vapes are the right choice. They are no fuss, just vape then throw away. If you like more variety, more features, more customization then rechargeable e-cigs are the way to go!
No matter what you choose at the end for your vaping. Any e-cigarette or vape is better than traditional cigarettes. You can use them virtually anywhere, anytime. They're super portable and convenient; they're more cost-effective than tobacco cigarettes; and they smell much better than cigarette smoke!
Thanks for reading! Happy vaping, happy life!
Please stay tuned for more vaping guide to come in our website blog soon.

University of Bradford, School of ManagementIntroduction to ResearchTHE PURPOSE OF RESEARCH IS TO Review or synthesize existing knowledgeInvestigate existing situations or problemsProvide solutions to problemsExplore and analyse more general issuesConstruct or create new procedures or systemsExplain new phenomenonGenerate new knowledge or a combination of any of the above!(Collis & Hussey, 2003)DIFFERENT TYPES OF ry researchis undertaken whenfew or no previousstudies exist. Theaim is to look forpatterns, hypothesesor ideas that can betested and will formthe basis for furtherresearch.Descriptive researchcan be used toidentify and classifythe elements orcharacteristics ofthe subject, e.g.number of days lostbecause ofindustrial action.Analytical researchoften extends theDescriptiveapproach tosuggest or explainwhy or howsomething ishappening, e.g.underlying causesof industrialaction.Typical researchtechniques wouldinclude case studies,observation andreviews of previousrelated studies anddata.Quantitativetechniques are mostoften used tocollect, analyse andsummarise data.PredictiveThe aim ofPredictive researchis to speculateintelligently onfuture possibilities,based on closeanalysis ofavailable evidenceof cause andeffect, e.g.predicting whenand where futureindustrial actionAn importantfeature of this type might take placeof research is inlocating andidentifying thedifferent factors(or variables)involved.RESEARCH APPROACHES:Research can be approached in the following ways: Quantitative/Qualitative Applied/Basic Deductive/InductiveEffective Learning ServiceMany research projects combine anumber of approaches, e.g. mayuse both quantitative andqualitative approaches2
University of Bradford, School of ManagementIntroduction to ResearchQUANTITATIVE/QUALITATIVE RESEARCHQuantitativeThe emphasis of Quantitativeresearch is on collecting andanalysing numerical data; itconcentrates on measuring thescale, range, frequency etc. ofphenomena.This type of research, althoughharder to design initially, is usuallyhighly detailed and structured andresults can be easily collated andpresented statistically.QualitativeQualitative research is moresubjective in nature thanQuantitative research and involvesexamining and reflecting on the lesstangible aspects of a researchsubject, e.g. values, attitudes,perceptions.Although this type of research canbe easier to start, it can be oftendifficult to interpret and present thefindings; the findings can also bechallenged more easily.BASIC/APPLIED RESEARCHThe primary aim of Basic Research is to improve knowledge generally,without any particular applied purpose in mind at the outset. AppliedResearch is designed from the start to apply its findings to a particularsituation. Students at the school of Management are expected toengage with an applied research or problem solving researchproject.DEDUCTIVE/INDUCTIVE al ideasGeneral ideasParticular SituationDeductive research moves from generalideas/theories to specific particular &situations: the particular is deducedfrom the general, e.g. broad theories.Inductive research moves fromparticular situations to make or inferbroad general ideas/theories.Examples of Deductive/Inductive Research in ActionImagine you wanted to learn what the word 'professional' meant to arange of people.Effective Learning Service3
University of Bradford, School of ManagementIntroduction to ResearchDeductive ApproachIt is clear that you would want to have a clear theoretical position prior tocollection of data. You might therefore research the subject and discovera number of definitions of 'professional' from, for example, a number ofprofessional associations. You could then test this definition on a range ofpeople, using a questionnaire, structured interviews or group discussion.You could carefully select a sample of people on the basis of age, gender,occupation etc.The data gathered could then be collated and the results analysed andpresented.This approach offers researchers a relatively easy and systematic way oftesting established ideas on a range of people.Inductive ApproachIf you adopted this approach you might start by talking to a range ofpeople asking for their ideas and definitions of 'professional'. From thesediscussions you could start to assemble the common elements and thenstart to compare these with definitions gained from professionalassociations.The data gathered could then be collated and the results analysed andpresented.This approach might lead you to arrive at a new definition of the word – orit might not! This approach can be very time-consuming, but the rewardmight be in terms of arriving at a fresh way of looking at the subject.RESEARCH PHILIOSOPHIESResearch is not 'neutral', but reflects arange of the researcher's personal interests, values,abilities, assumptions, aims and ambitions.In the case of your own proposed research, your ownmixtures of these elements will not only determine the subject of theresearch, but will influence your approach to it. It is important to considerin advance what approach you to take with your research – and why.Effective Learning Service4
University of Bradford, School of ManagementIntroduction to ResearchThere are essential two main research philosophies (or positions) althoughthere can be overlap between the two – and both positions may beidentifiable in any research project.POSITIVISTIC(can also be referred to'Quantitative', 'Objectivist','Scientific', 'Experimentalist' or'Traditionalist' (see next page)PHENOMENOLOGICAL(can also be referred to as'Qualitative', 'Subjectivist','Humanistic' or 'Interpretative'(see next page)The research philosophy can impact on the methodology adopted for theresearch project.The term methodology refers to the overall approaches & perspectives to the researchprocess as a whole and is concerned with the following main issues: Why you collected certain dataWhat data you collectedWhere you collected itHow you collected itHow you analysed it(Collis & Hussey, 2003, p.55).(A research method refers only to the various specific tools or ways data can be collectedand analysed, e.g. a questionnaire; interview checklist; data analysis software etc.).Effective Learning Service5
University of Bradford, School of ManagementIntroduction to ResearchCHARACTERISTICS OF POSITIVISTIC &PHENOMENOLOGICAL APPROACHES & PERSPECTIVES TORESEARCHPositivisticPositivistic approaches to research are based on research methodologiescommonly used in science. They are characterised by a detachedapproach to research that seeks out the facts or causes of any socialphenomena in a systematic way. Positivistic approaches are foundedon a belief that the study of human behaviour should be conductedin the same way as studies conducted in the naturalsciences (Collis & Hussey, 2003, p.52).Positivistic approaches seek to identify, measureand evaluate any phenomena and to providerational explanation for it. This explanation willattempt to establish causal links and relationshipsbetween the different elements (or variables) of thesubject and relate them to a particular theory orpractice. There is a belief that people do respond to stimulus or forces,rules (norms) external to themselves and that these can be discovered,identified and described using rational, systematic and l approaches however, approach research from theperspective that human behaviour is not as easily measured asphenomena in the natural sciences. Human motivation is shaped byfactors that are not always observable, e.g. inner thought processes, sothat it can become hard to generalise on, for example, motivation fromobservation of behaviour alone. Furthermore, people place their ownmeanings on events; meanings that do not always coincide with the wayothers have interpreted them.This perspective assumes that people will ofteninfluence events and act in unpredictable waysthat upset any constructed rules or identifiablenorms – they are often 'actors' on a humanstage and shape their 'performance' accordingto a wide range of variables.Phenomenological approaches are particularly concerned withunderstanding behaviour from the participants' own subjectiveframes of reference. Research methods are chosen therefore, to tryand describe, translate and explain and interpret events from theperspectives of the people who are the subject of the research.Effective Learning Service6
University of Bradford, School of ManagementIntroduction to ResearchRESEARCH METHODOLOGIESThe main research methodologies are summarised below and can belinked to positivistic and phenomenological research positions orapproaches. However, as mentioned earlier, research often contains bothpositivistic and phenomenological approaches, e.g. a survey that alsocontains qualitative work from participant observation.Positivistic SurveysExperimental StudiesLongitudinal StudiesCross-sectional StudiesPhenomenological Case StudiesAction ResearchEthnography (participantobservation)Participative EnquiryFeminist PerspectivesGrounded TheoryPOSITIVISTIC METHODOLOGIESSURVEYSSurveys involve selecting a representative and unbiased sample ofsubjects drawn from the group you wish to study.The main methods of asking questions are by face-to-face or telephoneinterviews, by using questionnaires or a mixture of the two.There are two main types of survey: a descriptive survey: concernedwith identifying & counting the frequency of a particular response amongthe survey group, or an analytical survey: to analyse the relationshipbetween different elements (variables) in a sample group.EXPERIMENTAL STUDIESExperimental studies are done in carefully controlled and structuredenvironments and enable the causal relationships of phenomena to beidentified and analysed.The variables can be manipulated or controlled to observe the effects onthe subjects studied. For example, sound, light, heat, volume of worklevels etc can be managed to observe the effects.Studies done in laboratories tend to offer the best opportunities forcontrolling the variables in a rigorous way, although field studies can bedone in a more 'real world' environment. However, with the former, theEffective Learning Service7
University of Bradford, School of ManagementIntroduction to Researchartificiality of the situation can affect the responses of the people studied,and with the latter, the researcher has less control over the variablesaffecting the situation under observation.LONGITUDINAL STUDIESThese are studies over an extended period to observe the effect that timehas on the situation under observation and to collect primary data (datacollected at first hand) of these changes.Longitudinal studies are often conducted over several years, which makethem unsuitable for most relatively short taught post-graduate courses.However, it is possible to base short time scale research on primary datacollected in longitudinal studies by, for example, government agencies,and focusing research on a close analysis of one or more aspect orelements of this data.CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDIESThis is a study involving different organisations or groups of people to lookat similarities or differences between them at any one particular time, e.g.a survey of the IT skills of managers in one or a number of organisationsat any particular time.Cross-sectional studies are done when time or resources for moreextended research, e.g. longitudinal studies, are limited.It involves a close analysis of a situation at one particular point in time togive a 'snap-shot' result.PHENOMENOLOGICAL METHODOLOGIESCASE STUDIESA case study offers an opportunity to study a particular subject, e.g. oneorganisation, in depth, or a group of people, and usually involvesgathering and analysing information; information that may be bothqualitative and quantitative. Case studies can be used to formulatetheories, or be:Descriptive (e.g. where current practice is described in detail)Illustrative (e.g. where the case studies illustrate new practices adoptedby an organisationExperimental (e.g. where difficulties in adopting new practices orprocedures are examined)Explanatory (e.g. where theories are used as a basis for understandingand explaining practices or procedures).(Scapens, 1990)Effective Learning Service8
University of Bradford, School of ManagementIntroduction to ResearchResearchers are increasingly using autobiography as a means ofcollecting information from small groups of respondents to seek patterns,underlying issues and life concerns. This method could be used, forexample, to trace the influences of variables, such as social class, genderand educational experiences on career development and careerprogression, or lack of it, within an organisation. It can be, however atime consuming process as it requires trust to be built between researcherand the people concerned.ACTION RESEARCHAction research involves an intervention by a researcher to influencechange in any given situation and to monitor and evaluate the results.The researcher, working with a client, identifies a particular objective, e.g.ways of improving telephone responses to 'difficult' clients, and exploresways this might be done.The researcher enters into the situation, e.g. by introducing newtechniques, and monitors the results.This research requires active co-operation between researcher and clientand a continual process of adjustment to the intervention in the light ofnew information and responses to it from respondents.ETHNOGRAPHY (PARTICIPANT OBSERVATION)This form of research evolved from anthropology and the close study ofsocieties.Ethnography is more usually described as participant observation, andthis is where the researcher becomes a working member of the group orsituation to be observed. The aim is to understand the situation from theinside: from the viewpoints of the people in the situation. The researchershares the same experiences as the subjects, and this form of researchcan be particularly effective in the study of small groups/small firms.Participant observation can be overt (everyone knows it is happening) orcovert (when the subject(s) being observed for research purposes areunaware it is happening).PARTICIPATIVE ENQUIRYThis is about research within one's own group or organisation and involvesthe active involvement and co-operation of people who you wouldnormally work and associate with on a daily basis. The whole group maybe involved in the research and the emphasis is on sharing, agreeing, cooperating and making the research process as open and equal as possible.Clearly this type of research can work when the student is already anactive and known member of any organisation and may therefore be aparticularly suitable approach for part-time employed students in theirown workplaces.Effective Learning Service9
University of Bradford, School of ManagementIntroduction to ResearchFEMINIST PERSPECTIVESResearch, from a feminist perspective, focuses on knowledge grounded infemale experiences and is of benefit to everyone, but particularly women.In a business context, for example, research might centre on the role ofwomen in an organisation and on their views, roles, influence andconcerns.Feminist research perspectives have a number of common starting points.First, that women and their contributions to social and cultural life havebeen marginalized and that this is reflected in past research practice.Second, that men and male perspectives or norms have dominatedprevious research. And third, that gender, as a significant factor inunderstanding the world, has been absent from understandings andinterpretations of social phenomena, in favour of other categories, e.g.social class.Feminist perspectives draw attention therefore, to how women orwomen's concerns may in previous research have been excluded, ignoredor relegated to the periphery.It also raises questions therefore about why some forms of knowledgebecome or are perceived as more valid than others.GROUNDED THEORYGrounded theory reverses approaches in research that collected data inorder to test the validity of theoretical propositions, in favour of anapproach that emphasises the generation of theory from data.Theory is generated from observations made, rather than being decidedbefore the study. This approach seeks to challenge research approachesthat unwittingly or wittingly look for evidence in the data to confirm ordeny established theories or practices; the feeling behind this is that youwill often find out in research what you are looking for! But if an openmind is kept, new ways of perceiving a subject or new ways ofcategorising or applying data gathered may be discovered or advanced.The aim of grounded theory is then, to approach research with no preconceived ideas about what might be discovered or learned.Silverman (1993) summarises the main features and stages of groundedtheory:1. An attempt to develop categories which derive from the data;2. Attempting then to give as many examples as possible in thecategories developed in order to demonstrate their importance3. Then developing these categories into more general and broaderanalytical frameworks (or theories) with relevance to other situationsoutside the research subject.Effective Learning Service10

Case Studies
The TigerTurf Classic multi-sport court is "a fantastic facility", say the students and staff of Sonrise
Christian School.
The school needed a safe playing surface
that could be used for many sports and
games, all year round. With few such
facilities in Gisborne, the school was
particularly keen to have its own facility for
sports training. Now PE and after-school
training can be timetabled efficiently and
reliably at school. The new turf will also
host interschool sports competitions at
The TigerTurf installation team began by constructing a TigerTurf Dynamic base to provide the best possible playing conditions, incorporating stability and drainage systems to support the sports turf at top performance for many years.
TigerTurf Classic is a useful, durable, multi-purpose sports surface for schools, accommodating ball sports, athletics and all outdoor games.
Presented in brilliantly clear colours that can be combined to become the favourite feature of your school, it is an economic turf for primary schools and for residential courts. Permanent markings for several sports offer versatility for training in more sports, engaging more students, more often.
Open for play in all seasons, the new sports turf at Sonrise Christian School is a great improvement on the previous turf. That was well past its use-by date, having been inherited from Gisborne Girls' High in 2011 when it was superseded by a new TigerTurf facility.
The school is proud of its bright new sports facility: safe for play through the wettest winter and a fresh green through the driest summer, the TigerTurf Classic court has quickly become the focus of fun and fitness.

Aussies On Tour - Thompson aims to follow Smith pattern
by Australian Golf Media
By Tony Webeck
South Australian Jack Thompson is seeking to emulate Cam Smith's pathway by using a stroke of good fortune to play his way onto the world stage.
The medalist at Final Stage of Asian Tour Qualifying School two weeks ago, Thompson was only notified of his place in the field for this week's PIF Saudi International last Wednesday.
He is now becoming accustomed to seeing 2011 Masters champion Charl Schwartzel pass by in the clubhouse at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club and the prospect of a dream weekend pairing with either Dustin Johnson or Brooks Koepka.
That Thompson has an Asian Tour card at all is owed in part to a moment at Q School that could prove to be life-changing.
Managing a wrist injury he suffered while in contention at the Victorian PGA in November, Thompson faced the prospect of an early exit despite a closing round of three-under 69 at First Stage at Blue Canyon Country Club in Phuket.
Yet when all hope seemed lost, fate intervened.
"It literally got to the last group and I needed (Japan's Genki Okada) to double (bogey) the last," Thompson recalled.
"I wasn't even really looking at my phone because I thought I didn't have a chance.
"I had three-under in the last round and he had five-over, so I beat him on a countback, which is a weird thing to happen.
"After it happened I thought, This could be a big turning point."
It also reminded Thompson of a presentation given by Golf Australia High Performance Director Tony Meyer midway through last year.
Meyer presented to the Golf Australia Rookie Squad – of which Thompson is a member – the pathway Smith took to becoming a major champion, including his own slice of good fortune.
After missing his tee time at the Web.com Tour Q School at the end of 2013, Smith spent 2014 playing the Asian Tour.
That opened the door for Smith to earn a late admission into the PGA TOUR co-sanctioned CIMB Classic in Malaysia in November 2014, where he finished tied for fifth.
Seven months later, an eagle at the 72nd hole sealed a top-five finish at the US Open at Chambers Bay to earn special temporary membership of the PGA TOUR.
It was a timely reminder for Thompson to take his opportunity when it was presented.
"He did a PowerPoint in the middle of last year on Cam's trajectory and what happened to him and his story," said Thompson, the 2021 Gippsland Super 6 champion.
"There was a little bit in there where he got into the CIMB Classic because someone hadn't played enough events or something and he was first reserve.
"He got in and played well. Then he qualified for the US Open and played well there and the money from CIMB carried into him getting his PGA TOUR card.
"That stuck with me for a while.
"It was in the back of my mind when I got through (First Stage). This could be one of those moments. This could make all the difference. This could be the turning point for me."
Soon to celebrate his 25th birthday, Thompson is adjusting as quickly as he can to teeing it up against players he has only ever seen before on TV. A field boasting 13 fellow Aussies provides some sense of normalcy in a whirlwind elevation into what is being called the strongest field ever assembled for an Asian Tour event.
"This is the biggest event that I've played as a pro, seeing some of those guys who have won multiple majors and stuff," said Thompson, who will have coach Adrian Wickstein on the bag this week.
"When they're on TV they get portrayed as if they are some sort of superstar or extra-terrestrial but they're literally just humans. They're just normal people that happen to be good at golf.
"It's obviously cool but I think I can block that out. The competitive person that I am, I think it's cool but I'm here to win and to play.
"For me, now is the time to soak it in but to keep my eyes forward. Any time you're complacent and happy, it's the worst mentality to be in golf. You just can't be complacent with golf, or with anything really. Hopefully we keep going on this path that we're going on."
The Saudi International serves as Smith's first event for 2023, the 2022 Open champion paired with American superstars Bryson DeChambeau and Dustin Johnson for the opening two rounds.
Geoff Ogilvy will go from Rosebud Country Club to Pebble Beach Golf Links, one of five Aussies who will contest the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California.

The year 1949 witnessed China divided into multiple political and cultural entities. How did this momentous shift affect Chinese literary topography? Modernity with a Cold War Face examines the competing, converging, and conflicting modes of envisioning a modern nation in mid-twentieth century Chinese literature. Bridging the 1949 divide in both literary historical periodization and political demarcation, Xiaojue Wang proposes a new framework to consider Chinese literature beyond national boundaries, as something arising out of the larger global geopolitical and cultural conflict of the Cold War.
Examining a body of heretofore understudied literary and cultural production in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and overseas during a crucial period after World War II, Wang traces how Chinese writers collected artistic fragments, blended feminist and socialist agendas, constructed ambivalent stances toward colonial modernity and an imaginary homeland, translated foreign literature to shape a new Chinese subjectivity, and revisited the classics for a new time. Reflecting historical reality in fictional terms, their work forged a path toward multiple modernities as they created alternative ways of connection, communication, and articulation to uncover and undermine Cold War dichotomous antagonism.
- Xiaojue Wang is Assistant Professor of Chinese Literature and Culture at the University of Pennsylvania.

Re: Admission to Nursing Anesthesia Program
I am writing this letter to express my great interest in applying to your honorable school for the nursing anesthesia program. I have worked in the intensive care unit (ICU) clinic of the SSM St. Clare for several years, which has equipped me with various skills for providing high-quality services to patients in this area. As a skilled critical care nurse, I am confident the course will be essential to my career. I believe that my passion, interest, and skills in the field of nursing match the requirements of your school. My desire to support patients and their significant others is a clear description of how my advancement in the nursing program will be of help to those who need it.
I have also excelled in various nursing positions that I have been holding for the past 20 years. This is a clear indication of my discipline and determination to help in improving the quality of healthcare services offered to patients. My long stays in the nursing field working for various health organizations in different positions have driven me to join this institution. In my previous training programs, I have learned about geriatrics and pediatrics. I would like to enhance my knowledge on how to serve these groups of people more effectively in the future. Hence, I will be grateful for your kind consideration. I look forward to being part of your school this coming academic year.
Yours Sincerely,
Admission Essay to the Nursing Anesthesia Program
I share a common vision with Webster University Nursing School of working to discover the limits of the natural world. I need advanced education to quencher my prolonged desire to pursue the nursing anesthesia program from the institution. I am also very good at calculus, physics, and biochemistry which are essential in anesthesia study. I took these courses at St. Louis community college, and I scored an A in all of them. My background in these subjects will give me an upper hand in the anesthesia class. For example, I have already encountered some of the concepts I expect to cover in this course in biochemistry.
My first time participating in a lengthy research experiment during my days as a student at the Kunming Engineer College introduced me to the health sciences. I am glad that I got an opportunity to taste knowledge from this field, which I believed would never be a part of my life. At the college, I was crowned top after finishing in the first position during the machinery design and calculus engineering competition, which made me feel more eager to have engagements with health scientists. Successful learning and understanding the complex engineering processes, such as electromagnetic optics and induction, enabled me to solve many grails of engineering. This success encouraged me to vindicate my desire and love for other health sciences other than physical sciences, which I believed were the only sciences that my mind could grasp. After several years of studies and engagements in health sciences, I discovered that my desire for health sciences was permanent and was a path to great future opportunities. It emanated from the vast knowledge I would acquire after pursuing several nursing programs, including the course I intend to pursue at Webster Nursing School. This paradigm shift in attitude coincided with a change in career and from being an engineering graduate to a nursing student.
Despite being a competent and qualified engineer, proven by the certifications I acquired from the engineering university, I chose not to concentrate in the engineering field. Instead, I shifted my focus to the new dream. My journey to quench my newly developed desire for health sciences began in 1989 when I enrolled in a degree program at Yunnan Provincial Zaotong Nursing School, where I majored in Nursing. Despite the hard and prolonged difficulties that I encountered in the new academic field, I attained an average grade of 3.914 points. I was awarded an associate degree in Nursing. The nursing projects I carried out as part of the course created a special joy to me that systematically grew with time. This unstopped fascination for nursing pushed me to come back to Webster University to seek admission to a nursing anesthesia program. This will not just be an academic achievement but also a notable mark to my profession and academic journey. A journey that I have offered myself to undertake until I achieve my dream of becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. By then, health sciences will have become part of my future. Through them, I could seek permanent opportunities to help me pursue my dreams, which I believe that one day will turn into reality. Since I am aware that this kind of specialization requires exceptional levels of academic potential, I believe that I have the range of academic qualifications and the personal character necessary for excellence in the CRNA program.
Luckily, immediately after attaining my degree in nursing, I got an opportunity to work at the Yunnan Correction Hospital for six years as a nursing supervisor in the hospital's ICU. By then, the Yunnan Hospital had a capacity of about 227 registered hospital beds and classified as a provincial hospital. I had an opportunity to interact with the huge number of patients who visited the facility for various health reasons. While at the Intensive care Unit in the facility, I could feel like a child in a candy store since I could initiate and coordinate care to patients and their significant others. After being impressed by how I administered my duties as an intensive care unit supervisor, the facility management promoted me to become the nurse in charge of all forms of surgeries and blood draws that took place in the hospital. For the many years, I worked in the facility, I tried to demonstrate all the qualities of a competent nurse. I knew that any quality I acquired would help me when I become a nurse in anesthesia. I liked to undertake the kind of duties I believed nurse anesthesia would pursue in his or her daily routines.
I left the Yunnan Hospital in 1998, and after a long period of personal engagements, I joined the Barnes Jewish Hospital in 2008 as a night shift nurse staff. Since then, I have worked with various health organizations as an ordinary nurse. With time, I have been receiving certifications from various nursing regulatory bodies that feel satisfied with my work. Besides, I have worked with a medical staffing network, which is a humanitarian organization connecting nurses from various parts of the world. They seek to extend their nursing services to vulnerable communities across the world. At some point, I could find myself working for more than one health organization simultaneously. I remained enthusiastic and followed my dream to become a future nurse in anesthesia. I took the opportunity to portray my nursing skills, not only to my colleagues but also to my employer in the hospital. I enjoy performing any nursing-related tasks since they are critical in my career projections. Such responsibilities help me to promote my growth as a professional and achieve the goals of the department I am working under in the organization. Currently, I am working with the SSM Health DePaul Hospital as a critical care nurse, and as a BSN to the facility's telemetry ICU. Partially, I work as a nursing supervisor to a rehabilitation center established under the same hospital.
Besides the long working history, I have been undertaking several nursing assignments that incorporate traveling from one health facility to another. These duties give me opportunities to improve my communication, which is necessary for a nurse to be successful. Severally, I have performed numerous assignments with the University of Southern California hospital. I have also worked in other institutions, such as the Saint Francis Memorial Hospital, to care for patients in deteriorating health conditions. These experiences have enhanced my skills that will spur my excellence in the calling in the future. The many years I have spent at various health facilities have cultivated my deep-seated passion for becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. I am also honored to have been serving with both male and female nurses who, like me, are fighting to change the world. During my travel assignments, I have witnessed several patients suffering due to the lack of proper medical care and attention. Consequently, I have decided to go back to school and study nursing anesthesia since I am driven by a passion and commitment to understanding the foundations of inadequate nursing services provided to my fellow society members. I undertook biochemistry, physics, and calculus courses from the St. Louis community college. These subjects are the foundational courses for nursing anesthesia. I attained considerably higher grades from each of them. I am a certified and registered nurse, and in the records of the registrar of nurses based in Missouri, my registration number is 12345.
I traveled to the Kunming Medical University Hospital in China to meet individuals who I believed they possess a good glimpse of knowledge about what the program entails. I was triggered by the strong desire to enroll in the nursing anesthesia program. Amazingly, I met Dr. Shao, the then chairman of the Anesthesia department for heart and lung transplant surgeries in the hospital. He shared with me all the information he had as far as nursing anesthesia is concerned. After the long and informative conversation I had with Dr. Shao, I confirmed that the career path I was about to take was correct and fit for me.
I have been considering the next step of my career, and serving as nursing anesthesia would enable me to improve my contribution to critically ill patients and the nursing profession at large. I have also worked in the field for several years and in various health institutions. Hence, I am certain that I possess the prerequisite characteristics required to become an excellent nursing anesthesia practitioner. I am conscious that academic specialization requires clear determination. I am convinced that I have the determination to pursue a career in this area of specialization. My achievements in nursing would be far much behind what I have currently achieved. However, I possess the provocative abilities to perform, solve, and challenge some complex clinical situations that I have been coming across. I request the university management to consider my application to enable me to achieve my dreams in life. I have proven my expertise in managing the treatment processes for many ill patients in intensive care units in the past. I also believe that Webster Nursing School is one of the best medical schools in the country, and it will play a crucial role in releasing my potential for the benefit of the community.

Plot Wanting to star in their own super hero movie the Teen Titan crew vies for the attention of casting directors hoping for their chance on the big screen on their trip to Hollywood. Unfortunately for them, their attention-grabbing ploy is sidelined by some villains bent on taking over the world.
Parenting Points This movie comes with plenty of fantasy violence. In addition, the teenaged characters don't shy away using "shut up" and "I hate you," along with a heavy dose of potty humor.
Show Dogs
Rated PG. Opens May 18. Voice Cast Alan Cumming, Stanley Tucci, Natasha Lyonne, Will Arnett.
Plot A trio of dogs goes undercover with officers at a dog show in order to fetch a missing baby panda from a ring of animal smugglers.
Parenting Points Albeit the dogs talk and engage in funny bodily functions, toddlers may not be as engaged and entertained. The adult humor will make parents and teenagers chuckle but be warned, the PG rating is for crude humor and suggestive language.
Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation
Rated not yet rated. Opens June 13. Voice cast Adam Sandler, Kathryn Hahn, Andy Samberg, Steve Buscemi.
Plot The monster family sets out for a sea friendly family vacation away from the hotel, and aboard a cruise ship. Mavis intercedes on a love affair between her dad and the ship's captain, Erica, hoping to foil her dangerous plot that may have destroyed them all.
Parenting Points In spite of the main character being monsters and animated beasts and brutes, this brood is harmless. Parents will enjoy the way that the family connects and looks after each other.
SOLO: A Star Wars Story
Rated Expected MPAA Rating: PG-13. Opens May 25. Cast Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson.
Plot Hans Solo and his co-pilot Chewbacca board the Millelium Falcon, escape encounters with a dark underworld, and meet Lando Calrissian years before his joining the rebellion.
Parenting Points In true Star Wars form, the action and space-y violence will keep the bigger kids entertained while the younger crowd may want to stick with animated flicks. The notable 2 hours and 23-minute length may have those less acquainted to Star Wars characters hankering for the ending.
Christopher Robin
Rated Not yet rated. Opens August 3. Cast Hayley Atwell, Ewan McGregor, Chris O'Dowd, Jim Cummings.
Plot The likable Pooh Bear and Christopher Robin come together once again, unexpectedly. Pressed to make a tough decision, Christopher Robin encounters his favorite furry friend, Winnie the Pooh who brings some fun into his life and helps to soften the blows that adult life throws.
Parenting Points While parents will love this storyline layered with good decision making and doing what's right, this film is void of animation and fast moving parts which typically engage those with limited attention spans. Keep this film in mind for play dates with kids in upper elementary grades and middle schoolers.
Incredibles 2
Rated Not yet rated. Opens June 15. Voice Cast Samuel L. Jackson, Holly Hunter, Sophia Bush, Catherine Keener.
plot: The Underminer, arrives on the scene in this sequel to the original Incredibles movie. Although this movie picks up where the first left off, Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr) must stay home now to care for Jack-Jack while Elastigirl (Helen Parr) spends her day saving the world.
Parenting Points You can expect the same live action animated violence which will be palatable for most kids. Baby Jack-Jack's uncontrollable and misshapen super powers will keep little ones giggling and bigger kids amused. Dad stepping in to support mom's career is an impressive talking point.
Jurassic World-Fallen Kingdom
Rated Not yet rated. Opens June 22. Cast Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Pratt, Jeff Goldblum, Ted Levine.
Plot Threatened with extinction again, raptor trainer Owen, and former park manager Claire, rush to the island to save the dinosaurs from an impending volcano only to find out that the threat is worse than they thought.
Parenting Points More suited for teens, this movie will follow in the same footsteps as the first two movies with scenes of peril coupled with some romance and strong language. Don't let the cute dinosaurs fool you. This movie may be too frightening for younger audiences.

House Democrats are having little success in getting the Washington, D.C., press corps to understand that it is not the Democrats' job to make Republicans stop hitting themselves, even as those battered Republicans spit on the idea of bipartisanship. What Democrats have been successful at, though, is a unified message. When the Republicans are ready to ask for help, it will be there—for a price.
A two-pronged strategy for Democrats seems to be taking shape, Axios reports, starting with them reaching out to Rep. Patrick McHenry, the temporary speaker, from a group of four moderate Democrats from the Problem Solvers Caucus. They sent a letter to McHenry offering to assist in a vote to "expand the Speaker Pro Tempore's authorities" to deal with urgent priorities, such as Israel and Ukrainian aid and government funding. They would agree to empowering McHenry in 15-day increments in return for votes on those priorities.
Democratic leadership isn't involved in the outreach, but seems to be fine with it. Rep. Dan Kildee of Michigan told Axios that there is that "it's increasingly likely that, at some point, there will have to be a bipartisan agreement." However, there have to be "some limitations" on what Congress could consider in this interim phase. "Democrats are not interested in just rescuing the Republicans from their own problems and have them go right back to business as usual as it was under McCarthy," he said.
That plan would buy time for Republicans to come to terms with the idea that repeatedly bashing themselves in the face is not good. That's where the second prong would come into play: a power-sharing agreement. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries laid that out in an interview on "Meet the Press" Sunday in interjections between host Kristen Welker's insistent questions like, "Why haven't formal conversations started yet?" and, "[A]s the Democratic leader of the House, don't you also bear a responsibility to try to bring this stalemate to an end?"
Jeffries stuck to the point: Republicans, he said, can "either double or triple down on the chaos, dysfunction, and extremism. Or, let's have a real conversation about changing the rules of the House so it can work in the best interests of the American people."
Any exchange with Republicans would require that the rules be changed "to ensure that votes are taken on bills that have substantial Democratic support and substantial Republican support so that the extremists aren't able to dictate the agenda," he said. "We can change the rules to facilitate bipartisanship and that should be the starting point of our conversation."
Kildee put his finger on the problem in that Axios interview. "The question is, how far are the Republicans ... going to go along with this pattern before we start serious conversations?" Apparently pretty far.
Possibly as far as letting MAGA insurrectionist Rep. Jim Jordan steamroll them. According to Punchbowl News, the supposed leader of the Jordan opposition was Rep. Mike Rogers of Alabama, who caved Monday morning in a tweet thread. That could signal the collapse of the resistance.
A Jordan speakership would guarantee that all those supposed "moderates" in the House Republican conference have to take some potentially career-ending votes in the next year. It would mean they've been roped into being an arm of the Trump 2024 campaign. It would mean more chaos and more dysfunction because that's all Jordan knows how to do.
There's a perfectly reasonable alternative out there for them, though. All they have to do is put country over party and work with the Democrats.
Sign if you agree: No more MAGA circus. Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.

Andrew Cuomo lied, and lots of people died. Now that one of the top aides to the governor has admitted to covering up and lying about the scope of Cuomo's order that sent sick seniors back into nursing homes, Politico reports that Cuomo's political career might already be on life support. Republicans in New York have begun demanding that the state legislature impeach and remove Cuomo over the deadly scandal, if he refuses to resign first.
Well, first they "pounced," of course:
New York Republicans assailed Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration on Thursday night in response to new revelations about his stonewalling the release of information about nursing home deaths, with several calling for him to resign or be impeached. …
Nearly every top Republican in the state pounced on the Post's report, subjecting Cuomo to a barrage of criticism arguably unparalleled at any point during his decade in office.
"For over six months, day after day, in briefing after briefing, Governor Cuomo stood before New Yorkers and lied about his directive that contributed to the deaths of thousands of seniors," said Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro, Cuomo's 2018 challenger. "In the coming days he will cynically try to convince us that it was for our own good — that it was someone else's fault. This is another lie. What is true, is Andrew Cuomo has proved himself unworthy of our trust, and unfit for public office."
"Prosecution and impeachment discussions must begin right away," state GOP Chair Nick Langworthy said. "If the Governor is involved, he should be immediately removed from office," said state Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt. And Rep. Tom Reed (R-N.Y.) called for other members of Congress to call for "an independent and thorough investigation by the Biden Department of Justice into Governor Cuomo and New York State."
I don't think the issue here is all of the Republican "pouncing." The issue here is all of the media fluffing on Cuomo's behalf that took place between the start of the crisis and sometime after Hollywood gave the Love Guv an Emmy for holding pressers. The nursing-home scandal started emerging in May, and yet media outlets across the country treated Cuomo like a hero despite having the worst state record for COVID-19 response in the nation. And the only reason they did that was because the media wanted an anti-Trump, and Joe Biden didn't fit the bill.
Now New York Democrats might get hoist on the same petard. They're backing impeachment and removal of Trump in part over the lives lost in the Capitol riot and his alleged incitement to foment it. Cuomo's order to send sick seniors back into nursing homes directly contributed to thousands of excess deaths in those facilities, on top of which the administration has flat-out lied about their actions and the scope of them ever since. How do Democrats in the Empire State argue against impeachment and removal in Cuomo's case, especially given the huge death toll that resulted from his order and the lies to cover it up after demanding Trump's disqualification?
Janice Dean lost her in-laws thanks to Cuomo's policy, and spent months trying to get the media to demand answers from his administration. They mostly just stood by while Cuomo's staff either ignored her or flat-out belittled her. She's getting vindication now, but one has to wonder whether the media will ever move past the "Republicans pounce!" stage of reporting and get to the "Cuomo lied, thousands died" stage.
Turns out I might just be a credible source on many things. Including the weather. https://t.co/GcidfgPMFX

ABC continued its expanded-Mondays series The Real 24 with a trip to Nogales as Bill Weir profiled a day in the life of the Border Patrol along the Mexico line. Each year on that sector, 450 tons of marijuana are seized and 340,000 visaless immigrants are turned away�CBS' Armen Keteyian followed up on his Investigation into FEMA's unhealthy emergency housing, trailers that continue to be used by 41,000 families. Keteyian revealed that Dr Christopher DeRosa, a senior toxicologist at the Centers for Disease Control, had wanted to issue an alert about the health risks from formaldehyde fumes but FEMA had his warning suppressed�financial news cable channel CNBC sent Maria Bartiromo to Paris to cover the $7bn lost in unauthorized financial speculation by Jerome Kerviel, the thirtysomething trader at Societe Generale. She reported on NBC that his defense lawyers claim that the bank is using him as a scapegoat to cover "huge losses in the subprime crisis"�New Year celebrations in China are usually marked by millions of urban workers returning to their native villages by train. This year heavy snows have disrupted the railroad system. ABC's Stephanie Sy told us that a station in Guangzhou Province has 200,000 passengers waiting in line. Sy cited a Chinese proverb ruefully: "When people are anxious to go home they want to travel as swiftly as an arrow." Just imagine: 200,000 passengers stuck at a single railroad station�the quality of English spoken at outsourced telephone calling centers is so low that some firms have decided to insource, Savannah Guthrie told us on NBC--not to domestic centers but by routing calls to people's homes. So now if you call JetBlue or J.Crew or Office Depot or AAA or 1-800-Flowers you are liable to be answered not by Bangalore but by a pajamaclad operator in the heartland.
