Patrick Kivlehan wasn't expecting his transition to baseball to be easy, but after spending the past four seasons contributing to the Rutgers football team the safety-turned-third baseman is getting acclimated to his new role.
"It was tough but it wasn't just because for four years I was so into working out, so into playing that when I got back (to baseball) I was still in shape," said Kivlehan, who made the Rutgers baseball team after a tryout this week and could start at third base when the Scarlet Knights travel to Miami for their season-opening series a week from today. "It was definitely difficult because coming in they really didn't know much about me. I just tried to hustle everywhere I could, do the little things and just stand out."
After recording 41 tackles in 43 games played at safety and special teams over the past four years, Kivlehan transitioned to baseball shape immediately after making three tackles in the Scarlet Knights' Pinstripe Bowl triumph. For the 6-2, 211-pounder from West Nyack, N.Y., the adjustment wasn't so unfamiliar as it wasn't so long ago that he was among New Jersey's scholastic leaders with 13 home runs in leading St. Joseph-Montvale to a 25-5 record in 2008.
"I definitely missed it," said Kivlehan, who served an internship with MLB Network this past summer. "I never really wanted to stop playing. But obviously you have to make a decision, and I chose football. But I never really wanted to give up baseball."
When he wasn't practicing with the Scarlet Knights football team over the past few springs, Kivlehan recalls driving by Livingston Campus and stopping by the baseball fields whenever there was a game.
Laughing prior to taking batting practice this afternoon, Kivlehan said, "I'd be out there watching and thinking, 'Man, I think I could do that!' "
Because he didn't redshirt in football, Kivlehan will be eligible to play this season and next with the baseball team.
"I'd love to keep playing baseball, get into coaching whether it's football or baseball, and just stay involved whatever way I can," said Kivlehan, who was able to keep his No. 47 for baseball. "Hopefully we win a lot of games this season. That's always the goal. I think we have a good team. I don't really know much about the Big East, but there's no reason why we can't compete."
Kivlehan, whose senior campaign was highlighted by a career-best seven tackles and an interception recorded in a win over Army at Yankee Stadium, said the mild winter conditions have helped him transition smoothly to the diamond from the gridiron.
"It definitely took a while to get used to, but honestly it's helped being able to practice outside and see pitches and field actual ground balls rather than being in the bubble," Kivlehan said. "That's probably been the biggest help getting back into baseball shape."

Work Text:
from the papers of Gao Zhen Xi
Chang'an, last year of Houyuan
Today in the Nine Markets I came across a new stall, operated by a foreigner evidently, selling all manner of birds and animals in cages. I had thought perhaps to purchase a songbird or some such, the better to test my growing knowledge of herbology, but my eye was caught by a brown rat in one particular cage, who looked at me with a very direct, quite intelligent gaze. The rat had a decided green spot on the tip of one ear, and it was not afraid of me. When I rested my finger against the wooden bar of the cage near its nose, it looked right back without cowering. In fact, I could swear that the rat winked at me.
The merchant grinned at me; his beard was not so thick that I could not make note of his striking lack of teeth. "It's dye," he explained, in a very thick accent. I am not sure where he came from; there are so many foreigners in the Nine Markets that it is impossible to sort them out. Perhaps he was Persian. "The rat is quite healthy, I assure you."
It might have been better to purchase a sick rat, upon further consideration, but I had already decided that this was the rat I wanted, and he knew it. We haggled energetically, and eventually we sealed the bargain with a silver coin. I directed him to have the rat delivered to the Gao house in the district north of the palace, and made my way to the stall of a Persian alchemist of my acquaintance, who had sent me a message claiming to have obtained new Egyptian scrolls on magic. I wanted to see whether he was telling the truth.
The first thing I did when the merchant's boy delivered the rat to my house was to open her cage and let her out onto my worktable (I had already removed the stray papers that usually clutter it up). The rat took her time exploring the table, sniffing enthusiastically, while I explained some of my work to her.
"My name is Gao Zhen Xi," I began, placing a dish of wheat and berries on the table. "Welcome to my house--what shall I call you?"
The rat paused in its investigation (how thorough! All scholars should aspire to be so methodical) and looked up at me, whiskers twitching. The green spot on her ear stood out even in the lamplight, the color of imperial jade. "Jade," I said slowly, thinking it over. "The spot on your ear is the color of jade. I shall call you, with your permission, Jade Rat."
Jade Rat nodded her head, as if she could understand me and were agreeing. I spared a thought for the Confucian disciples, who would surely chastise me for thinking that a rat could understand human speech (and for my lack of filial piety in remaining unmarried). Their worldview is so…limited; they have no means to grasp the wonders that I and my friends, the magicians and the alchemists and the herbologists, know well exist, and in plenty.
But there are no Confucians in my house; my parents did not entertain them, and I have followed my parents' example since my mother's death.
"So, you are Jade Rat, and I am Gao Zhen Xi. Please don't be alarmed when I tell you that I am a scholar who is interested in some…unusual branches of study." Jade Rat nibbled on a berry, regarding me measuringly. "To be specific, I have studied alchemy, herbology, and magic, trying to find a way to manipulate Spirit in a way that does not violate the law of the cycles. Do you know the law of the cycles?" I asked suddenly, remembering that most people have never heard of the Three Realms, or the law of the cycles, and that even many of those who have do not believe it. My family have always been unorthodox thinkers.
Jade Rat shook her head. "Well, I shall have to explain to you about Spirit, and the law of the cycles, and the Three Realms," I said, "but for now the point is that I am interested in learning to do what foxes do, without being a fox: transformation and transferring Spirit. You do know about foxes, I hope."
Jade Rat flicked her ear at me, as if to tell me that I was being ridiculous. Everyone knows about foxes; you don't become the most notorious trickster in the universe without making a name for yourself. "Excellent," I said. "In any event, as part of my study I have become interested in health, the flow of energy through the body, and how one might prolong one's lifespan, either by diet or by magic. I have taken you into my home in the hopes of applying what I have learned to you."
At that Jade Rat looked frightened for the first time since I had met her, dropping the berry and hunching down against the cage. "I won't harm you!" I said hastily, suddenly realizing just how sinister I had sounded. "Truly, please don't be frightened. I would never be so cruel. I've already made certain of my techniques in mice."
We stared at each other, Jade Rat looking skeptical. I stared back, and after a long minute Jade Rat's eyes narrowed. "Will you swear to that?" a voice asked. The voice was hoarse, and a little deep--for a rat, for it was undeniable that Jade Rat had spoken. I blinked. Oh, if only the Confucians could see this, and believe.
Still, even I was surprised. "You can talk," I said, stupidly.
"Yes, I can talk," Jade Rat replied, and I thought I saw a flash of humor in the set of her whiskers. "And the spot on my ear is not dye."
"Oh," I said. "That is, I see. In that case, Jade Rat, I truly am pleased to make your acquaintance. And yes, I will swear to you, by the Three Realms and the law of the cycles, that I mean you no harm. "
But Jade Rat shook her head. "Swear to me on something else," she told me. "Something personal."
My heart seized within my chest. "Very well," I said, swallowing past the dryness in my mouth. "I swear to you on my parents' mortuary tablets, as well."
Jade Rat flicked her whiskers forward. "Then I am pleased to make your acquaintance as well, Gao Zhen Xi."
First year of Jianyuan
Soon after the new young Emperor announced the first new era of his reign, he also announced that he would hold a public imperial examination of 100 scholars, with the aim of strengthening the empire by discovering the strongest possible foundation for learning and education.
My dear friend Gao Zhen Xi, for so she had become in the months we had spent together, received news of her preferment into the examination the day after the emperor's proclamation had been read out around the city. Her father, she told me over tea later that afternoon, had been an intimate of one of the former emperor's court secretaries, upon whom it seemed the new Emperor Wu had come to heavily rely.
"I am surprised that Secretary Zhang has recommended me," she had confessed, getting up from the table and turning to stare at her racks of scrolls. "I had not expected to be so honored."
"Perhaps Emperor Wu truly does desire to set scholarship on the firmest possible foundation," I suggested from my place on the table. "Your place in the examinations augurs well for him being open-minded."
But Gao Zhen Xi shook her head, still looking at her scrolls. "Emperor Wu is only sixteen, Jade Rat. The Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are the ones who are truly in charge of the government."
I nibbled the piece of fruit Gao Zhen Xi had set before me, unable to think of anything to say.
"Don't look like that, Jade Rat," Gao Zhen Xi told me gently when she turned around, arms full of scrolls, to place them on the far end of the table. "You know I will do my best in the examinations, no matter what."
I looked up at her, and hunched my whiskers in embarrassment. "Of course you will," I muttered. "But it doesn't seem fair, that you must participate under the burden of knowing you will probably be ignored."
Gao Zhen Xi shrugged, and took her seat at the table again, putting her hand on it palm-up. I took the hint, and ran up her arm and onto her shoulder, tucking myself into my customary position between the collar of her tunic and her neck, just under her ear. "It makes little difference to me whether people in this world are made to believe in the truth of the Three Realms or not, Jade Rat," Gao Zhen Xi told me quietly, sipping her tea. She tells me it is medicinal, and I have gotten used to the taste. "They will come to it in the end, anyway, as we all must do. And I myself care little for power or politics."
I rubbed the side of my head against the skin of her neck. Gao Zhen Xi has never asked, but I believe she knows that I have the faculty of human speech not because I am an extraordinary rat (although I am) but because I was once human. The magician who transformed me did so because of politics, and I could not think how to warn my friend that even those who do not care for politics or power must beware of them.
I am glad Gao Zhen Xi has never asked me about that particular truth. I do not want to be transformed back, for my being human again would render our companionship impossible. I value her too highly.
Three weeks later Gao Zhen Xi came back from the imperial examination, angry and defeated as I had never seen her, slumped shoulders shaking.
"What's wrong?" I asked as soon as she entered her workshop, running to the end of the table and sitting up on my hindpaws to look up at her.
Gao Zhen Xi shook her head, for once inarticulate, and then mutely held out a hand to me. I ran up her arm immediately, glad to feel her fingetips scratching between my ears when I setlled in my place against her neck.
"You were right, Jade Rat," she said at last, letting out an unsteady breath. I felt the tremors in her flesh steadying beneath my paws. "This imperial examination must have been Emperor Wu's idea after all. If he supports the Confucians over other schools, he can find a way to oppose the Grand Empress Dowager."
"Was the emperor present?" I asked, surprised. "And how do Confucians help him against his grandmother?"
"He was," Gao Zhen Xi confirmed. "And his grandmother is a fervent Daoist. If he can elevate the position of Confucianism above Daoism, he can discredit her in the eyes of the people and the court."
Gao Zhen Xi sighed. I knew that she herself had studied with a Daoist master, and had great respect for the skill of Daoist wizards. "I believe--I think I should have chosen a different topic for my essay, Jade Rat. I do not think I should stay in Chang'an, at least not for the near future."
"Do you really think it's that bad?" I asked. It was not the first question that had popped into my mind: that was I'm coming with you, aren't I?
"I don't know," Gao Zhen Xi admitted. "It's probable that I'm over-reacting. But I have been thinking for a while that I have reached the limits of what I can learn in Chang'an. I think I would like to go west, to Egypt, or south, to Nan-yue. There is plenty left to be learned in the world."
The journey to Egypt takes a year or longer, and not everyone who goes comes back; going to Nan-yue is little more certain. Still, the thought filled me, not with apprehension, but with excitement.
"What is it, Jade Rat?" Gao Zhen Xi asked, chuckling. "I can feel your whiskers quivering."
I took a deep breath. "Gao Zhen Xi, I'm coming with you."
She drew me into her palm and held me in her hands and looked at me, the crease of a frown appearing between her dark eyebrows. Gao Zhen Xi is neither ugly nor handsome; she is simply fiercely intelligent, and beautiful in her own way. I looked back at her, and she shook her head. "Of course you are, you silly Jade Rat," she told me, and we regarded each other happily. Now, as well as friends, we were fellow adventurers.
Chang'an, fifth year of Yuanguang
We were gone from Chang'an for nearly ten years, though on that journey we never did reach Egypt, and when we returned at last to the capital we found it largely unchanged. It was the empire around us that had altered; ongoing border skirmishes with Xiongnu had hampered our journey, though merchants in the inns along our route told us that trade continued almost unabated.
Jade Rat stirred sleepily from her place against my neck when we passed through the Xuanping gate into the city proper, her whiskers twitching. My oldest friend was growing older by the day, and I knew that my skills in herbology were already insufficient to keep the effects of her age at bay. Her brown fur was a mottled sand color now, though her green spot remained as brilliant as ever.
It was one of the reasons we had returned to Chang'an at last; I would have been just as happy to stay away forever, and I think Jade Rat knew it. But she had not asked me whether I had any ideas about how to preserve her life. In her place, I would not been scared of my answer.
As it happened, I did.
We resettled into my family's home in the northern district without much fanfare. Most of my parent's friends had passed on or were greatly aged, and many of the magicians and scholars of the weird with whom I had spent most of my time before my departure had moved on too.
Still, word must have gotten around about my return, for one night in the summer I heard a great knocking at my gate. "Gao Zhen Xi! Is the illustrious Gao Zhen Xi at home?" a voice cried from over the walls.
Jade Rat, asleep on her bed by the fire in my workroom, did not stir, but my servants and I rushed out to the courtyard. "Who goes there?" one of my servants called.
After a minute, the voice called, "Liu Che!" and all of us paled. The Emperor himself, coming incognito to my house in the dead of night!
My servant looked back at me, and I made an impatient gesture. "Let him in!"
The Emperor, when he did enter my courtyard, proved to be a tall, athletic young man, with the unruffled confidence of a man who had finally come into his own power and had the will and the wit to use it.
My servants and I all immediately went to our knees to make our obeisance, but one of the men standing around the Emperor, who was dressed finely but not ostentatiously in dark robes, hissed at us, "Get up! This is not the Emperor! This is the honorable Liu Che!"
Everyone knew the Emperor's personal name, though no one dared use it. "My apologies," I said, regaining my feet. "I am Gao Zhen Xi, and it is my great honor to welcome the honorable Liu Che to my home." I made do by bowing, keeping my eyes on the Emperor's boots.
"Thank you, Gao Zhen Xi," the Emperor told me, and I had to look up at him. It was hard to tell in the light of our servants' lanterns, but the glint in his dark eyes seemed amused. "I am told that you are the same Gao Zhen Xi who sat the imperial examination ten years ago, in the first year of Jianyuan. Is that true?"
"It is," I answered carefully.
"Excellent," the Emperor said, evidently satisfied. "Will you permit me entrance to your home, Gao Zhen Xi? I wish to hear your knowledge of the subject of immortality."
In the end, I was able to use the Emperor's interest for my own ends: the purchase of a small block of the finest imperial jade, and the tools to carve it, on the grounds that it was vital for an experiment which could prove whether I could work with Spirit the way alchemists work with metal. What I told him was true enough, though I already knew that the kind of immortality he desired was not possible under the law of the cycles. It had only taken one conversation with him for me to realize that Emperor Wu would not be satisfied with that answer, and I intended to delay giving it to him as long as possible.
In the meantime, I had a very difficult farewell to say.
Jade Rat was now plainly running out of time, and both of us knew it. She was blind in one eye, and her once-proud whiskers drooped all the time. Her sense of smell, she told me, was much weaker than it had once been.
The day the jade was delivered I took it to my workroom and began the spell of preparation that I had devised immediately, stopping only to drink a little tea around dinnertime. It was halfway into the hour of the dog by the time I finished, and went to the kitchen to eat something. I would need my full strength for the hour of the rat, and what I had to do then.
I passed the time until the hour of the rat restlessly. At last, a few minutes before the hour, I roused Jade Rat, who blinked at me sleepily. "Gao Zhen Xi?" she asked, and I had to swallow past a lump in my throat.
"Yes, Jade Rat, it's me," I said roughly, taking her furry body into my hands. "Jade Rat, I am afraid it is time for us to part. You are old, dear friend, and your body is failing you. With your permission, I would like to transfer your Spirit into this block of jade that I have prepared."
"Block of jade?" Jade Rat repeated faintly, her body trembling. "And what will I do then, when I am a block of jade?"
"I will carve you into a pendant, of a rat," I explained. "You will be able to change into a rat, albeit a green one; I've bespelled the jade. And we need not be parted, ever."
There was a short silence, and then Jade Rat sighed. "I have trusted you this far, dear friend. Let us begin."
"Oh, Jade Rat," I whispered, blinking back unexpected tears. I brought my dear friend up to my face and pressed my nose into her furry body, breathing deeply of her simple rat-scent.
"Don't cry, Gao Zhen Xi," she whispered back to me. "We'll be reunited in no time."
"You're right," I said after a moment, taking a deep breath, and dried my eyes on my sleeve before I set Jade Rat on the table.
"Will it hurt?" she whispered as I took up my brush and dipped it into the ink I had prepared, writing characters onto her fur.
"No," I lied firmly; the truth was that I did not know.
The ritual I had concocted was mercifully brief, and at the end of it my oldest friend's body lay cooling on my worktable next to a block of jade that now pulsed at its heart with a dull green light.
"Jade Rat," I murmured, taking her body into my hands again, for the last time. For the first time in ten years, she did not answer me.
The jade block glowed softly on the worktable as I left the room, taking the lamp with me. I had work to do.
But first, I had to give my friend's mortal form the honor she deserved.
First year of Taishi
My old friend Gao Zhen Xi never did manage to obtain the immortality the Emperor wanted, though we had a grand time journeying to Egypt on his coin not long after Gao Zhen Xi revived me in this form of emerald stone that I wear now. When we finally came back, the size of the empire had very nearly doubled, and the Confucians had been given full control of the education of the bureaucracy.
Our return to Chang'an could not be concealed, of course, but though the Emperor's agents must have reported that we had come back to him, Emperor Wu never once summoned us to an audience, or came in secret himself.
As for Gao Zhen Xi and I, we filled my friend's declining years with advancing the study of the Three Realms and the law of the cycles, gathering as much of the lore of Half World as existed in this Realm as we could. I grew to enjoy my jade form, and to admire the emerald color of my fur when I did avail myself of my availability to change back into a living, breathing animal. I was glad to still be able to put my whiskers against her nose, to feel her fingers stroking my fur, though I could not maintain my animal form indefinitely.
Neither of us were expecting, decades later, the knock at the gate.
I do not know, nor do I particularly care, what turned the Emperor into a harsh, paranoid man in his later years, from a believer in the potential of magic to a man who ordered witchcraft investigations after a nightmare about an assassin. Chang'an in those days was a city rife with magicians, and it is true that the Emperor's nets did ensnare a number of practitioners, though most if not all of them were innocent of anything but irritating the aging Emperor.
Certainly Gao Zhen Xi had never used her art or learning to harm anyone.
This time it was I who awoke at the pounding, while Gao Zhen Xi slept on. "Gao Zhen Xi!" I hissed, turning myself to rat form to poke her on the nose with my paw. "Gao Zhen Xi, someone is at the gate!"
In fact, they were already in the house. "In the name of the Emperor!" I heard a man shouting, and with a sudden spike of fear I turned back into pendant form just as Gao Zhen Xi woke up.
"Jade Rat, what is it?"
"The Emperor's men are here!" I hissed from my place at her throat. "Gao Zhen Xi, you must run!"
But Gao Zhen Xi shook her head. "Jade Rat, I am old, and there is no time for me to run. Besides, where would I go?"
I was stone, but I swear I felt my blood run cold at her words. "Gao Zhen Xi, you must--"
"Jade Rat," she interrupted me, taking a breath, "I would like to try an experiment, if we have the time. Are you willing?"
"Of course, but what--"
I never finished my question. Gao Zhen Xi removed my pendant from around her neck and held it in both hands, muttering something under her breath that I could not understand. But I felt it in her hands, saw it glowing from her fingers: Spirit.
She was attempting to transfer a bit of her Spirit into my pendant, I realized, and as soon as I realized that I knew why: so that we would be able to find each other again, beyond the Half-World.
But to detach part of one's Spirit was not something one did lightly. That must mean that Gao Zhen Xi thought--
"Jade Rat," Gao Zhen Xi said urgently, into her hands around me, "in Half World, or after it--"
The door to Gao Zhen Xi's bedchamber burst open, and the harsh light of several lanterns accompanied a half-dozen men in armor and the imperial colors strode in. Two of them seized Gao Zhen Xi by the arms and dragged her from the bed, knocking my pendant out her hands and into the bedclothes. They forced her to kneel on the floor, head bowed, while their commander read from a scroll, the light gleaming from his armor.
"Gao Zhen Xi, in the name of His Imperial Majesty the Emperor Wu of Han, you are hereby arrested for the practice of witchcraft, the evidence against you being letters written to His Imperial Majesty averring your skills in your own hand. You are hereby--"
The soldier never finished his sentence. Gao Zhen Xi cried out, once, and her entire body went limp, her eyes rolling up in the back of her head. The soldiers immediately lowered her to the floor and turned her over, her eyes staring sightlessly up to the ceiling.
"Gao Zhen Xi," I whispered, but no one heard me. I wanted to scream; I wanted to weep; I could do neither, and for the first time in half a century, I wished to be human again, so that I might.
"Dead, sir," one of the soldiers said, checking her pulse. "She was very old; the shock must have been too great."
"Very well," the commander sighed, rolling up the scroll. "Let the servants know. We must inform the Emperor immediately; he took a personal interest in this case."
The soldiers departed, leaving the wreckage of the bedchamber and Gao Zhen Xi's cooling body behind on the floor. Heedless of the risk or my own flagging strength, I changed into my rat form and scrambled down the trailing bedclothes to her side, putting my nose against her face, unable to believe that she was truly gone. Certainly Gao Zhen Xi had been old, but she had never been frail, her mind never any less sharp. It was not fair, I thought, over and over; it wasn't fair.
It felt like I spent hours nestled in her white hair, lost in my own anguish and grief, but it could not have been more than ten minutes before the servants came with lights and shouting and surprised exclamations. I turned back into a pendant just in time. One of them placed me carefully on the side table before helping to carry Gao Zhen Xi out of the room.
Left alone in the dark, I suddenly had a horrible thought: what if Gao Zhen Xi had not had enough time? What if she had not put enough of her Spirit into my stone, so that we could not find each other again?
Calm down, Jade Rat, I thought to myself, and I could almost hear Gao Zhen Xi saying it. I took a deep breath, and as I did so I realized that, whereas before my jade form had always felt--cool--to my mind, I now felt, somewhere in my middle, around my heart, a very distinct warmth.
I concentrated on that warmth, looking inward with all the focus that I possessed. It was nearly an hour before I was satisfied, but when I did open my eyes again, the sun just peeking over the horizon, I was certain: Gao Zhen Xi.
My friend had succeeded in her task, despite the short time she had had. A part of her was inside me, and we would see each other again. All I had to do was make sure that her work would be waiting for her intact when we did see each other again, after however many years.
Canada, 2009 C.E.
It would be idiotic to say that I realized at the time that I would have to build and maintain a scholarly family and their records for more than two millennia across two continents to be reunited with Gao Zhen Xi once more, but I am nothing if not persistent.
A good thing too, because otherwise I would have given up when the Realms were sundered, and this Tamaki girl is going to need my help if both of us are to fulfill our quests.
Luckily, as I said, I am an extraordinary rat.

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield shared a tribute to a This Morning crew member after his death.
The presenters opened the show today on a sombre note and announced cameraman Charlie Hart, who had worked at ITV for over 10 years, had died after a long illness.
Schofield told viewers: "We're starting with some very sad news about a member of our team."
Willoughby continued: "One of our long-standing crew members Charlie Hart passed away yesterday after battling a long-term illness."
A clip then showed Charlie smiling and modelling some clothes on the catwalk with a grin on his face.
"Charlie spent more than ten years with us at ITV and it wasn't just behind the cameras that he played an important role," Schofield said. "Occasionally we even managed to tease him out in front of the camera, even appearing in our fashion items."
A sweet clip showed Hart walking out on the catwalk in front of presenter Rochelle Humes and Schofield before commenting on the clothes he was wearing.
Today we're remembering our lovely Charlie, who has sadly passed away after battling a long-term illness ❤ pic.twitter.com/qx0ogeHlEp— This Morning (@thismorning)18 September 2019
"Such a lovely guy," Schofield said. "We will really miss him, our thoughts are with all of Charlie's family and children and his grandchildren and his wife Tina."
Willoughby added: "We just want you to know that he will be sorely missed."
Fans flocked to Twitter to offer their own condolences to Hart, his family and the rest of the This Morning crew.
This Morning airs on weekdays on ITV at 10.30am.

Some German politicians are calling for new restrictions on SUVs after a car accident in Berlin Mitte left four dead, including a 3-year-old boy.
Deputy chairman of the Greens Oliver Krischer told Der Tagesspiegel an "upper limit" on SUVs in inner cities is needed.
The exact cause of Friday's fatal crash is not yet clear but the case is being investigated as involuntary manslaughter. Police say the driver of the vehicle, a 42-year-old man, drove onto the sidewalk at the corner of Invalidenstraße and Ackerstraße just after 7 p.m.
On Saturday there was a vigil where attendees observed four minutes of silence, one minute for each victim.
Einen Moment die Zeit angehalten.@Tagesspiegel#Invalidenstraße pic.twitter.com/RBNQavevHH
— Helena Piontek (@fraupiontek) 7. September 2019
Police are in the process of interviewing witnesses and reviewing video footage of the incident.
An analysis by the Bertelsmann Stiftung finds in the coming years, the teacher shortage in German primary schools will be greater than previously thought.
By 2025, the report predicts there will be an additional need for at least 26,300 teachers, 11,000 more than previously predicted by the Kultusministerkonferenz, the standing conference of education ministers across Germany.
The Bertelsmann Stiftung says the discrepancy could be due to the fact that there are new numbers out on how many primary school children there will actually be in 2025.
Previously, it was predicted there would be about three million primary students by 2025. Now Germany's Federal Statistical Office predicts there will be more than 3.2 million.
Though it's still four months away, New Year's Eve was on the agenda at the Berlin parliament on Monday.
There is a ban planned on fireworks at two spots in the city, at the northern part of Alexanderplatz and on Pallasstraße in Schöneberg. Private fireworks are also not permitted at the Brandenburg Gate.
The Berlin Senate is also hoping to amend federal law to limit the sale of fireworks to one or two days.
This news is brought to you in cooperation with Berliner Rundfunk.

Where were you? What were you doing? Were you still asleep? Did you know anyone?
For days, weeks and months after September 11, 2001, these were questions Americans asked in the wake of one of the most deadly attack's ever carried out on American soil.
I was in Los Angeles. It was early morning on the west coast. A friend who rises early to watch the news called and told me to turn on the television. Something bad was happening in New York City.
Turning the television on, I took in as much information as I could. News cameras were on the World Trade Center (WTC) as it billowed smoke; the first plane had already hit the north tower. Reporters were commenting over the live camera footage. It was confusing to me and millions of other viewers now tuning in as the news quickly spread.
Then a second plane flew into the south tower. My brain didn't know how to process what it had just seen. America had never been under attack at this scale in my generation. At 23, I didn't have a frame of reference, no visual comparisons to make with massive buildings on fire inside the boundaries of my own country. This was all new... and terrifying.
Soon there was footage and news of the Pentagon being hit. Then, reports that a fourth hijacked plane was being tracked on the east coast near Pennslyvania. Later, reports that that plane had crashed in Pennsylvania. It was a blur of horrible events one after the other. News outlets scrambled to keep up with it all while I stood in front of my television, frozen and scared.
My brain then caught up to speed and the morning got worse. I remembered that a dear friend Tammy worked at WTC. She'd just taught me all about the buildings the week before, during our joint vacation in Carmel, California. Along with our friend Dave, Tammy and I had spent three care-free days touring Carmel, Monterey and Big Sur, posing for all sorts of funny pictures of the three of us for Tammy's film camera; photos she promised to get developed at the photo studio at the basement of her office building in New York. My stomach sank.
From Los Angeles, I dialled Tammy's cell phone number countless times. No calls were getting through. I watched more news. Some time passed. My phone rang. It was my brother, asking if I'd heard from our sister, Megan, who was holidaying in New York City. She was staying in the financial district, he told me, and no one had heard from her. My stomach sank lower.
Time slowed down. For the rest of that Tuesday, I moved through my apartment as if walking through molasses. Helpless, powerless and in shock, I was glued to the television watching the news. The towers crumbled. Ghostly people emerged from clouds of white ash. The smoking hole in the Pentagon. The scorched earth crash site in Pennsylvania. These are all iconic images now, eighteen years later, but at the time they were just a few of the thousands of images on the television that I watched, wondering if my friend and sister were somewhere in those devastating shots.
Tuesday night my phone rang. My stomach tensed. The bad news was on the other end, I just knew it. It was Tammy, rattled but safe, with little time to talk. Inexpressible relief briefly washed over me. Then I began to worry about Megan again.
The phone rang. Same tenseness. It was my brother this time. He reported Megan had gotten a call through to our mom. She was safe. The relief returned but again, only briefly.
Between all four coordinated attacks, 2,996 people died that day. 6,000 were injured. The fall out of the attacks included a US-lead 'war on terror' that began in Afghanistan and continues today, an economic downturn that lasted almost a decade and the questionable invasion of Iraq in 2005. Global turmoil and hostility continued throughout the 2000s, with some respite during the Obama presidency.
At the time, the attacks reframed how the United States was perceived internationally, forging greater bonds between the US and our allies. America itself came together, our country uniting for a time to comfort and console one another before compassion and empathy became political and divisive. We came together to offer relief, even if it was temporary.
Almost two decades later I think it's safe to say we're still recovering from 9/11. Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the plot, was finally killed in Pakistan in 2011 while President Obama was in office. There was some closure in that. Chronically sick firemen and women policemen and women, plus workers who acted as first responders and crew at the World Trade Center, had received funding to cover illnesses and diseases caused by exposure to toxic materials during the rescue and clean-up of WTC only two months ago. There is some closure in that. Definitely justice. But certainly not relief.
Since September 11, I don't know what to make of American foreign policy. It seems erratic and tied to political motivations as opposed to what's in our nation's best interest or might better provide some stability on the global stage. I do know that this volatility is as exhausting today as it has been for the last two decades. It wears down my ability to have a carefree day. It would be nice to have a few more of those.
On the anniversary of September 11th, I'll do what I've done every year since 2002. I call Tammy's cell phone and leave a voicemail. She is kind enough not to answer, letting this little ritual play out. I drop a message telling her how much I love her and how grateful I am she survived that Tuesday morning, many years ago. After I hang up, I always think about those photos we took in Carmel, about how they are buried forever beneath the ghost of WTC's south tower. I would have liked to see them, to see us 18 years ago, the last of our carefree days.

Nissan Electric Ice Cream Truck Concept
Nissan have created an electric ice cream van to tackle the pollution problems created by the traditionally diesel-powered trucks.
To mark 2019's Clean Air Day, Nissan have unveiled an ice cream truck fitted with an electric engine. The zero-emission van uses the e-NV200 platform to remove the need for a diesel engine by swapping it for a 40kWh battery.
Typically, most ice cream trucks need to keep their engine running in order to operate and power the refrigeration equipment, as well as any other machines. This causes an unnecessary increase in air pollution, and a few towns across the UK are looking to ban these pollutant vehicles or impose charges in a bid to reduce the overall emission production.
The electric ice cream van concept uses a two portable power packs when the vehicle is switched off, which will power things such as freezers and soft-serve machines. There will also be solar panels on the roof of the van to generate extra energy.
On electric power, the truck can travel up to 124 miles on a single charge. The two power packs on board can be charged on a 230V mains supply, taking about an hour. To charge these units using the van's solar panels, it would take 2 to 4 hours.
Kalyana Sivagnanam, managing director, Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd. said; "Ice cream is enjoyed the world over, but consumers are increasingly mindful of the environmental impact of how we produce such treats, and the 'last mile' of how they reach us.
"This project is a perfect demonstration of Nissan's Intelligent Mobility strategy, applying more than a decade of EV experience and progress in battery technology to create cleaner solutions for power on the go – in ways customers might not expect.
"By eliminating harmful tailpipe emissions, and increasing our use of renewable energy, we can help make this a better world for everyone."

Concerns continue around whether EQAO will take place amid OSSTF strikes
Today marks the fourth one-day walkout that has been taking place across numerous school boards in Ontario since Dec. 4th, 2019. The strike, that included eight school boards today, prompted questions around what the plan is for Grade 9 students participating in the EQAO math assessment next Monday.
In a news conference held at Queen's Park on Wednesday morning, Education Minister Stephen Lecce says that it's up to the school boards to decide on whether or not to hold the test for their Grade 9 students, despite the work-to-rule.
With the continuous striking action among high school teachers in the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation's (OSSTF), Lecce is aware that the likelihood of the assessment taking place across the majority of school boards is slim. The decision will impact Ontario students and could negatively affect their overall performance, especially for students who haven't done Math since the previous semester.
"It is unfair that union actions are undermining student success. They are jeopardizing the learning experience of Ontario's future leaders," Lecce said in a statement.
The test is still scheduled to take place on January 13, 2020, should school boards decide to proceed with the assessment. Students who do not participate in the EQAO math assessment next Monday will be able to complete it in June 2020.

What should you think about doing it? Hello. I had an opportunity to speak with my friend whose sister recently traveled to US. She told me her sister used assistance of a traveling company to get her visa.

It might, it might cause one to believe that when out on a date, that is the time when she isn't equivalent toup to, simple tasks. Let's take a look thought maybe more completely, even again. These same philosopher- writers who write about how people should date one another as peers, additionally hastily recommend that one peer open the building door to the peer. Please be aware at this point again that on the cover of the quite crass quantity is the fact that it is a side- by- side publication. We allude to dates walking along beside one another, rather than like Prince Philip behind his royal date half a measure. Or taking the idea a bit farther, living as faithful and true co- equals. This isn't advice to dismiss out of control. No, no. Perhaps, just maybe, it might be that she's unlicensed to push. Or perhaps she is not mechanically, in the least, educated, and can't know how a doorway works. It could be that she does not get the backpage escorts censored Fort Assiniboine AB of what it's about doors.
On the internet dating is meant to be enjoyable.

If you have a close friend, that is a girl who is on online dating internet site be audacious and also ask if she can examine her messages. Girls obtain lots of messages from individuals yet how do they decide whom to respond. The trick right here is not to be common. Do not claim things like" I do not take myself too seriously. Work hard play tough or I will not tell anybody we fulfilled online. If you are similar to every other individual on the internet why do you should have to date her why not other men. Allow's face it you in in completion with various other sex dating sites reviewed Fort Assiniboine AB online. If your messages as well as profile resemble most of guys, you will certainly get the very same results most people are obtaining.

In a landmark judgement to combat climate crisis, California mandated that more than half of all the trucks and vans sold in the state should be emission free by 2035. One of the leading economies in the world, California has always been steadfast in pursuing policies to tackle global warming and come up with some of the most aggressive climate policies. It is again leading the nation in the fight to become carbon neutral by issuing the order that all new trucks sold in the state should be zero-emissions by 2045.
California at the Forefront to Fight Climate Change
In one of the toughest clean-air mandates on trucks approved by the California Air Resources Board on Thursday, the state requires automakers to sell more electric trucks — including heavy duty pickups — effective 2024. The latest mandate aims to drive the state toward the ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets — 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80% down within 2050. California aims to generate 60% electricity from solar, wind and other zero-carbon sources by 2030 and 100% within 2045.
Brushing off opposition from many industries including oil and gas, agriculture and trucking that view the move as regulatory overreach, California has been firm in efforts to control greenhouse gas emissions, reduce dependence on oil and improve air quality. Per the new regulations, the state is in opposition to the Trump administration, which announced the rollback of Obama-era vehicle fuel efficiency standards in March. According the Obama-era rules, automakers were to achieve 5% annual increase in fuel efficiency each year through 2026. The new rules by Trump would require just 1.5% annual increase in efficiency through 2026. California had led a regulatory revolt against the rollback of emission standards and still stands its ground by vowing to stricter environmental regulations.
Notably, transportation contributes to 40% of California's greenhouse gas emissions. Abandonment of diesel trucks will not only help the state become carbon neutral but also shake up the auto industry further and help California become a hub for the electric truck manufacturing industry.
Electric Pickup Game Gathers Steam
Let's take a look at the companies that are stepping up efforts on the electric pickup race. All major truck manufacturers including Daimler AG DDAIF, PACCAR PCAR and Navistar NAV are focused on manufacturing electric trucks powered by batteries or hydrogen electric fuel cells.
Daimler AG, which had delivered the first few electric Freightliner trucks in 2019 as part of customer testing in North America, announced in March that it delivered more electric Freightliner semi-trucks as part of its customer test fleet. The Freightliner eCascadia, with a range of 250 miles on a single recharge, is a Class 8 electric trailer.
Last year, Amazon AMZN announced plans to buy 100,000 electric trucks from Rivian, a manufacturing start-up. Arguably, the most anticipated pickup, Tesla TSLA Cybertruck is insanely futuristic with a radical design and spectacular specs. Tesla currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Hydrogen-truck upstart Nikola is set to give a tough competition to Tesla. It should be noted that by 2027, Nikola anticipates a production of 30,000 fuel cell electric vehicle trucks.
U.S. top auto giant General Motor's GM decision to re-introduce Hummer as an electric-model has taken the industry by surprise. U.S. #2 automaker Ford F is developing an all-electric version of F-150, the nation's best-selling pickup. The company made headlines when it released a video last summer to demonstrate the pickup's remarkable towing capacity. The electric F-150 prototype was seen pulling 10 double-decker rail cars filled with 42 F-150 pickups, weighing nearly 1 million pound. Startups like Rivian, Bollinger and Lordstown are entering the market alongside stalwarts like Tesla, Ford and General Motors.
Last Words
The Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association has opposed California's mandate citing inadequate funding and charging infrastructure. Shift from internal combustion engine to electrification requires heavy investment and at a time when the industry is already reeling under financial crisis amid coronavirus woes, they view California's electric truck targets less plausible. While there is much opposition by the industry groups, there are a number of automakers who have been taking the EV plans seriously. Many of the automakers have already announced ambitious plans to manufacture electric trucks and vans. The latest move is likely to encourage more companies to further emphasize on the future of e-mobility.

A religious order is a lineage of communities and organizations of people who live in some way set apart from society in accordance with their specific religious devotion, usually characterized by the principles of its founder's religious practice. Three vows commonly taken are vows of poverty, obedience, and chastity. Members of a religious order relinquish all possessions and personal authority. Religious orders are found in the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church and, although rarely, in Protestant churches. The Franciscans, Jesuits, and Trappists are religious orders. Here is a partial list of religious orders.
We offer a special Religious Rate for consecrated members of these communities living out their devotion.

Ensuring distribution network quality in smart grids
Added value
Renewable energies are already forming the basis of a sustainable energy supply. The integration of the local and volatile renewable energy producers is a challenge.
The medium-high and low voltage systems are being converted to smart grids to maintain network quality and supply reliability. Additional measuring and data technology always provides latest network operation data.
The availability of data about network damping and hotspots is critical for the business:
– Distribution network operators use it to control their networks.
– Companies with sensitive processes use it to monitor special quality agreements with their power suppliers.
Basic measures for increasing the capacity of existing networks and managing the network reactions when connecting renewable energy sources are for example:
INSYS Smart Devices of the MLR series have proven their performance on a pilot project of REWAG Regensburger Energie- und Wasserversorgung AG & Co. KG, Ostbayerische Hochschule Regensburg OTH and Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen.
16 significant values have been read out every 10 seconds from more than 70 local distribution system transformers by an app in the router, provided with a standard time-synchronous date/time stamp, stored and sent to the OTH as an XML file – more than eight billion data records have been read, processed and transmitted reliably.
Field-proven routers like the programmable INSYS Smart Devices (MRX, MoRoS, EBW, MLR) with INSYS SmartBox or Sandbox and the innovative Connectivity Service of INSYS icom contribute significantly to smart grids.

2016.2 hangs on first configuration Follow
I've installed IDEA Community Edition 2016.2 and fecided to start from fresh confituration, so before first run I've removed configuration from 2016.1.
When I start IDEA 2016.2 first time, it shows first dialog "maximized", but only upper-left corner is drawn:
After that, it shows properly-sized dialog with theme selection, and after that it hangs forever, but consume ~1 CPU core all time.
I could kill idea64.exe process and after that it starts in "Default" configuration. If I remove its configuration folder, process repeats.
My system is Windows 7/Ultimate/x64.
Does it work if you use idea.exe with the bundled JDK instead of idea64.exe that runs on whatever 64-bit JDK is installed on your system?
Share the logs and the thread dumps:
(1) idea.exe (32 bit) works as expected
(2) My system JDK/JRE is 1.8.0_102 (release, from Oracle's site)
(3) https://gist.github.com/blacklion/92a8dc506ed519ddb69584de5d8462e5 https://gist.github.com/blacklion/baecf5aa837bb1a3da691998ef4e7cbc
P.S. BTW, 64-bit version renders fonts much better than 32 bits one, IMHO
According to the thread dump IDE is waiting for the user input in a dialog.
You can try 64-bit JetBrains Runtime instead: https://bintray.com/jetbrains/intellij-jdk/. Runtime can be changed per https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/206544879.
idea64.exe works as expected with jbsdk8u76b218_windows_x64

Only combination which has problems idea64.exe with system/Oracle's 1.8.0_102 (64 bit)
Can't reproduce. Oracle JDK 1,8.0_102 (64-bit), ideaIC-2016.2.exe, default settings, clicking Next after theme selection brings the following dialog:
After finishing the wizard IDE starts as expected.
Sorry, we can't tell why it doesn't work for you since the snapshot you have provided doesn't show any problem (IDE is waiting for the user input in a dialog and doesn't hang).
(1) It works as expected on other system (W7/Enterprise/x64, Oracle's JDK 1.8.0_102), so I could not reproduce it on other system, and I'm not surprised, that it could not be reproduced at your side.
(2) It 100% reproducible on my first system — first screen has wrong size, and after clicking on "Next: Default plugins" it doesn't re-draw screen, goes to "Process not responding" from Window's point of view, and one thread works 100% of time forever. It doesn't draw itself (so, if window will be moved away from screen and back it will be filled with artifacts from window border drawing), it does nothing, you could close it, but could not interact with it.
Does it happen with the default Windows theme or only with your old style Windows 95 theme?
