Pineiro's 53-yard FG at end lifts Bears past Broncos 16-14
Published 8:00 pm Sunday, September 15, 2019
DENVER (AP) — Eddy Pineiro kicked a 53-yard field goal as time expired, giving the Chicago Bears a wild 16-14 win over the Broncos and their former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, whose gutsy 2-point call 31 seconds earlier had given Denver the lead.
The Broncos (0-2) thought time had expired when Mitchell Trubisky stepped up and threw a 25-yard pass to Allen Robinson on fourth-and-15 from his 40-yard line. Robinson was tackled at the Denver 35 by Chris Harris Jr.
The clock showed all zeroes and both teams milled around on the field not knowing whether to celebrate a win or lament a loss. Then referee Adrian Hill announced there was 1 second remaining and Chicago was using its last timeout.
Pineiro's winner sent the Bears (1-1) streaming back onto the field in celebration of a victory that seemed so unlikely after they'd surrendered the lead moments earlier.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — With Drew Brees watching from the sideline with an injured hand, the Rams didn't need a no-call to beat the Saints again.
Jared Goff passed for 283 yards and a touchdown and rushed for another score, and the Rams (2-0) stopped New Orleans from scoring an offensive touchdown for the first time since 2016.
The much-anticipated matchup changed dramatically when Brees was injured late in the first quarter. His throwing hand collided with Aaron Donald's outstretched hand while he threw an incompletion on the Saints' second drive. The NFL's career leader in yards passing spent the afternoon on the Coliseum sideline with his thumb heavily wrapped.
Teddy Bridgewater went 17 of 30 for 165 yards and Alvin Kamara rushed for just 45 yards for the Saints (1-1), who seemed discombobulated without their longtime quarterback. New Orleans didn't score an offensive touchdown for only the fourth time in 13-plus seasons under coach Sean Payton, who got a lengthy contract extension before the game.
Todd Gurley rushed for 63 yards and scored his first touchdown of the season late in the third quarter of this rematch of the Rams' 26-23 overtime win in New Orleans last January. That game turned on the infamous uncalled pass interference late in regulation by Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman, who had six tackles in the rematch.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Antonio Brown caught a 20-yard touchdown pass in his debut for the Patriots, and they scored twice on interception returns in a two-minute fourth-quarter span.
Brown also made an 18-yard catch on his first play for the Patriots (2-0), who signed him Monday. He finished with 56 yards on four receptions, all in the first half.
The NFL allowed the four-time All-Pro receiver to play despite a civil lawsuit filed Tuesday by his former trainer accusing him of sexually assaulting her on three occasions.
New England's defense outscored Miami (0-2) with interception returns for touchdowns of 54 yards by Stephon Gilmore and 69 yards by Jamie Collins Sr. The Patriots totaled seven sacks and four interceptions and earned their most lopsided win in the 108-game history of the series.
ATLANTA (AP) — Julio Jones hauled in a short pass on fourth down and took it 54 yards to the end zone with 2:10 remaining, giving Atlanta a wild victory over Philadelphia.
The Falcons (1-1) squandered a 17-6 lead against an injury plagued team that lost two of its top receivers, falling behind for the first time when Carson Wentz dove over from the 1 with 3:13 left to give the Eagles a 20-17 edge.
Philadelphia (1-1) had a chance at the end when Wentz converted on fourth-and-14, somehow getting off a pass with a rusher in his chest that Nelson Agholor hauled in between two defenders for a 43-yard completion to the 18. But Atlanta held on, stopping Zach Ertz about a yard short of the marker on another fourth-down play inside the 10 to preserve a much-needed victory.
Jones bailed out Atlanta — and became Atlanta's career leader in receiving yards with his winning score. On fourth-and-3 at the Falcons 46, Jones dropped behind the line to haul in Matt Ryan's short pass, got a crunching block from left tackle Jake Matthews out on the edge and took off down the sideline, easily outrunning Rodney McLeod and Andrew Sendejo without being touched. He finished with five catches for 106 yards and two touchdowns, also hauling in a 4-yard score that gave the Falcons their 11-point lead early in the third quarter.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Russell Wilson threw for three touchdowns for Seattle, including a 28-yard rainbow to DK Metcalf midway through the fourth quarter.
The Steelers lost starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to a right elbow injury late in the first half and fell to 0-2 for the first time since 2013 despite solid play from backup Mason Rudolph, who threw a pair of second-half touchdown passes to Vance McDonald.
Roethlisberger began flexing his right arm after an incompletion late in the second quarter. He stayed in to finish the drive before jogging to the locker room. When the 37-year-old QB emerged for the second half, he was wearing a white cap while Rudolph, taken in the third round of the 2018 draft, took the first meaningful snaps of his career.
Rudolph completed 12 of 19 passes for 112 yards, the two scores and an interception, but couldn't quite keep pace with Wilson and the Seahawks (2-0).
Wilson was 29 of 35 for 300 yards and the three TDs, becoming the fifth-fastest quarterback in league history to reach 200 career touchdown passes (114 games). Wilson also ran four times for 24 yards, most of it coming on Seattle's final drive as the Seahawks protected a two-point lead.
A week after escaping Cincinnati with a one-point win, a game in which coach Pete Carroll said his team wasn't particularly crisp, the Seahawks took advantage of a series of mental mistakes by the Steelers (0-2) to win in Pittsburgh for the first time in 20 years.
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes bounced back from the first scoreless opening quarter of his career in the regular season by throwing four touchdown passes in a near perfect second period.
The Raiders (1-1) held Mahomes in check for the opening 15 minutes before he carved up an overmatched defense with big play after big play in the second quarter for the Chiefs (2-0).
Mahomes didn't take long to strike, finding Demarcus Robinson open on a blown coverage for a 44-yard touchdown pass on the first play in the second quarter. He didn't slow down from there.
Mahomes finished 30 for 44 for 443 yards. Robinson had six catches for 172 yards and two scores and Kelce had seven catches for 107 yards and a TD to give the Chiefs their ninth win in the past 10 meetings in this long-time rivalry.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jacoby Brissett became the latest Indianapolis quarterback to top Tennessee, throwing a 4-yard touchdown pass to T.Y. Hilton with 4:38 left. Brissett had come up empty for Indianapolis against Tennessee, losing both games he started against the Titans in 2017. After Andrew Luck retired with a perfect 11-0 record against the Titans, Brissett picked up right where Luck left off. He passed for 146 yards and three TDs.
The Colts (1-1) also sacked Marcus Mariota four times on a day when Adam Vinatieri, the NFL's oldest player and career scoring leader but in an early-season slump, missed two extra points. It was Indianapolis' 14th win in its last 16 games against Tennessee overall.
The Titans (1-1) missed their chance for payback against Indianapolis after losing the 2018 regular-season finale, along with a playoff berth on the line for the winner. They haven't started 2-0 since 2008 when they won their first 10 games and last won the AFC South.
BALTIMORE (AP) — Lamar Jackson kept the Cardinals guessing all afternoon, supplementing an effective passing attack with more than an occasional jaunt out of the pocket. Jackson threw for 272 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 120 yards in a showdown between two of the league's most exciting young quarterbacks.
After achieving a perfect passer rating and throwing five TD passes in a season-opening 59-10 rout of Miami, Jackson wasn't quite as sharp through the air but far more effective with his legs. He ran 16 times (including two kneel-downs at the end), juking and twisting past defenders for key gains — especially when the Cardinals were dropping back in passing situations.
The 2016 Heisman Trophy winner outdid the 2018 Heisman winner, Arizona rookie quarterback Kyler Murray, who went 25 for 40 for 349 yards but fell short of carrying the Cardinals to a second straight fourth-quarter comeback.
Murray guided Arizona (0-1-1) on a four-play, 79-yard touchdown drive to make it 20-17 with 12:52 remaining. One week earlier, the former Oklahoma standout erased an 18-point deficit to salvage a tie against Detroit.
HOUSTON (AP) — Justin Reid stopped Leonard Fournette on a 2-point conversion attempt with 36 seconds left.
Houston led by 13-6 in the fourth quarter when Jacksonville rookie Gardner Minshew led a long drive that included an 18-yard run on fourth-and-10, and he capped it with a 4-yard TD pass to DJ Chark. Instead of trying to tie it with a kicked extra point, Jaguars coach Doug Marrone opted to go for the potential win. But Fournette was stopped by Reid. The play was upheld by video review, giving the Texans (1-1) the victory.
Early in the fourth quarter, Whitney Mercilus used a nice spin move to evade a blocker and sacked Minshew to force a fumble, recovered by J.J. Watt on the 11-yard line. Carlos Hyde had an 8-yard run on second down, but was stopped short of a first down on the next play to bring up fourth-and-1. Deshaun Watson then scrambled in from 2 yards for the touchdown to make it 13-3.
Minshew, a sixth-round pick, threw for 213 yards and a touchdown for the Jaguars (0-2) in his first NFL start filling in for Nick Foles, who broke his collarbone last week.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Somewhat maligned Josh Allen ran for a touchdown, threw for another, and the Bills claimed the bragging rights of New York.
Buffalo has its first 2-0 start since 2014 and only the third in 11 mostly fruitless years.
Devin Singletary scored on a 14-yard run and Frank Gore iced the game with a 1-yard plunge into the end zone with 5:53 to play as the Bills completed the New York/New Jersey sweep at MetLife Stadium. They beat the Jets last weekend.
Allen finished 19 of 30 for 253 yards in becoming Buffalo's first quarterback to pass for 200 or more yards in seven straight games since Hall of Famer Jim Kelly in 1992. His touchdown pass covered 14 yards to Isaiah McKenzie and his TD run was 6 yards.
Giants coach Pat Shurmur gave Buffalo bulletin-board material earlier in the week when he said he felt Allen had the potential to be an NFL starter coming out of the 2018 draft. The Bills felt it a slight for the No.7 overall pick and posted it.
Allen, who had no turnovers after making four last week, played like a quarterback with something to prove.
Saquon Barkley ran for 107 yards and a game-opening 27-yard touchdown run, but the Giants went to 0-2 for their sixth such start since 2013.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Jimmy Garoppolo tied his career high with three touchdown passes and the 49ers completed a sweet and satisfying week in the Buckeye State.
Rather than return to the West Coast after their opening 31-17 win in Tampa Bay, the 49ers headed to Youngstown, Ohio, where they worked out on a soccer field, enjoyed a local ice cream shop and rested at a Holiday Inn. Then they started their trek west with a resounding and notable win.
The 49ers improved to 2-0 for the first time since 2012. They've opened the season with back-to-back road wins for the first time since 1989, when Joe Montana's crew was coming off its second Super Bowl win over the Bengals.
The Niners piled up 573 total yards, their highest total in seven years. They've topped 30 points in each of their first two games for the first time since 1998. The 41 points were the most allowed by the Bengals (0-2) in a home opener.
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers threw two early touchdowns on a day when the Packers honored late Hall of Famer Bart Starr at halftime.
Rodgers put on quite a show — particularly early. Rodgers completed nine of his first 10 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns and had a perfect 158.3 rating through the first quarter. He finished 22 of 34 for 209 yards.
The Packers improved to 2-0 under new coach Matt LaFleur after opening the NFL's 100th season with a victory at rival Chicago. They also beat the Vikings (1-1) for the fifth time in the past seven games at Lambeau Field.
Kevin King intercepted Kirk Cousins late in the end zone to preserve the win.
Minnesota's Dalvin Cook had a career-high 154 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. It was the third-year back's second consecutive game with over 100 yards rushing.
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Dak Prescott carved up the Washington defense with his arm and his legs, completing 26 of 30 passes for 269 yards and three touchdowns and rushing for 69 yards.
A week after putting up a perfect 158.3 QB rating, Prescott responded from an interception to lead Dallas (2-0) on consecutive touchdown drives of 97, 83 and 75 yards. He's the first Cowboys quarterback to compile seven touchdown passes in the first two games of the season since Don Meredith in 1966.
On the verge of a contract extension that's expected to guarantee him over $30 million, Prescott connected with three receivers on the touchdowns: Devin Smith, Jason Witten and Amari Cooper. Less than two weeks removed from ending his holdout and agreeing to a $90 million, six-year deal, Ezekiel Elliott had his workload increased to 23 carries for 111 yards and ran for a touchdown.
The Redskins (0-2) got a rushing touchdown from Adrian Peterson and passing TDs from Case Keenum to Paul Richardson and rookie Terry McLaurin. But their banged-up defense playing without two starters struggled to contain Prescott or cover his receivers.
DETROIT (AP) — Matthew Stafford threw a go-ahead, 31-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Golladay midway through the fourth quarter and Darius Slay made an interception in the end zone with 1:03 left.
Detroit (1-0-1) overcame Stafford's two interceptions, Slay giving up a lot of receptions and Matt Prater missing an extra point and a field goal.
The Chargers (1-1) were in a position to attempt a 45-yard field goal to tie the game, but Philip Rivers tried to force a pass to Keenan Allen and Slay picked it off.
Stafford was 22 of 30 for 245 yards with two TDs and two interceptions. Rivers was 21 of 36 for 293 yards and an interception.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin Having Second Wedding in Los Angeles
Mark your calendars everyone because Mr. and Mrs. Bieber have a wedding date!
According to TMZ, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin will have their second wedding in Los Angeles, with sources saying it could happen very soon—like the first weekend of March soon, which also happens to be Bieber's 25th birthday. The website was told that the "Sorry" singer wanted to be a "married man" by his next birthday, so it seems like his wish may come true even though technically he and Baldwin are already legally married.
Sources say the two initially wanted to get married in the East Coast (or Canada), but due to the cold weather conditions, they decided LA was the best choice. The wedding will is also said to be "religious affair" since their first was at a courthouse and not in front of God.
But that's not all! Bieber and Baldwin have also sent out their wedding invites, which includes some A-list stars like Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott are among those who got a "Save the Date" email. Keep in mind, that TMZ also reports that this is the third time the couple has moved their wedding date, so let's hope they don't change their mind again.

Shanghai COVID-19 lockdown tightens as streets deserted, food shortages reported
COVID-19 measures taken by authorities in China this week have become more stringent and include mass disinfection of homes and preventing those infected from leaving their homes. Authorities in Shanghai have said they will tighten lockdown enforcement, as the pandemic continues in the country's financial capital. In addition to installing electronic door alarms to prevent those infected from leaving, people are being evacuated en masse to disinfect their homes.
Hundreds of residents have been evicted from their homes to allow for disinfection to take place. These restrictions will extend Shanghai's lockdown into its fifth week. Shanghai officials said all patients and close contacts infected with the disease will be transferred to a central quarantine facility run by the government. In some of the city's worst-hit neighborhoods, infection control measures will be reinforced. Residents who have tested negative will likely be forced to move out temporarily as a result of this.
Residents in several provinces have been instructed to keep their front doors open and their pets at home during this time. Photographs posted on social media, showing people with suitcases waiting in line, showed the magnitude of the undertaking. Government propaganda newspaper People's Daily said on its front page recently that perseverance is winning. The recent crackdown illustrates the lengths to which Chinese authorities are willing to take to curb the outbreak of COVID-19 in Shanghai – regarded as the country's financial and business hub. Delivery services, grocery store websites, and even government supplies have been impacted by the lockdown extension.
Additionally, Shanghai faces a food shortage, which has thrown Shanghai's residents for a loop and prompted them to question the anti-COVID-19 strategy. In the absence of better logistics for food and other basics, there is pressure to relax restrictions, but any relaxation will likely lead to the virus spreading – and scenes like the ones in Hong Kong. Civil unrest and chaos are sure to follow either way.

The American Association for State and Local History met in Pittsburgh September 21–24, 2005. Approximately 750 people attended the meeting, which was held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania Federations of Museums and Historical Organizations.
For the first time, meeting attendees had the chance to donate their time and skills to colleagues in the local area. On Wednesday, September 21, volunteers spent the day painting, cleaning exhibits, and helping to organize collections at the Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Museum of Rural Life, an archeological site and farm museum in Washington County, about an hour away from Pittsburgh. Although responding to Hurricane Katrina was not on the official program, throughout the meeting AASLH officers and members were at work organizing a disaster recovery team to travel to the affected areas to help colleagues at local museums, historic houses, historical societies, and historic sites survey the damage and help preserve and protect documents and objects damaged in the flooding or threatened by its aftermath. A volunteer recovery team organized with the American Institute on Conservation that departed for the affected areas on September 19 had to turn back due to Hurricane Rita. The AASLH will continue to coordinate recovery efforts for state and local history organizations affected by the disaster; see www.aaslh.org/katrina for additional information.
One of the most interesting and lively discussions at the meeting took place at a roundtable, "Training Public Historians: Academy and Reality," held on Thursday afternoon. Chair Benjamin Filene (Minnesota Historical Society) and discussants Rebecca Conard (Middle Tennessee State Univ.), John Dichtl (Organization of American Historians), Kathy Dummer (Historic Murphy's Landing), Melanie Sturgeon (Arizona State History and Archives Division) discussed the future of the field. Public history is now established in university programs, has its own historiography and journal (The Public Historian, published by the National Council on Public History), and is established as a significant subdiscipline within the discipline of history. Some panelists had graduated from public history programs, others from traditional academic departments, and all expressed interest in how the career paths of historians entering the field today might differ from their own. They raised several vital questions about the future of the field. Are public history programs moving toward the same credentialing role played by academic PhD programs? If so, is that good for the profession? What role does it leave for the dedicated historians with little graduate training who run many small local museums and other historic sites? How can public history programs prepare students for a job market that is always changing in response to funding changes, technological advances, and shifting audiences? How can programs provide students with the necessary "tool sets" for an unstable job market? What is the relation between academic public history programs and those working in the field? What percentage of faculty teaching public history have practical experience as working public historians? How does this affect the training faculty provide their students? Could the job market in public history might soon be as tight as the job market in academe? The session began a sobering but crucial conversation that should continue.
Representatives of small museums and historic sites from around the country attended a banquet on Saturday evening where the AASLH and PFMHO recognized recipients of awards for excellence in publications, programs, preservation, and exhibits. The meeting theme—"History's Mysteries"—was reflected in the choice of keynote speaker Tony Tackaberry, executive produce of the PBS series, History Detectives. Plenary speaker Rick Sebak, a producer for WQED Multimedia in Pittsburgh, spoke about the role of local history in his series of documentaries on Pittsburgh history and American popular culture.
The AASLH meeting encourages attendees to learn about the chief issues and concerns in interpreting the history of the meeting site through numerous tours and off-site receptions. This year, AASLH members visited Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob; enjoyed receptions at the Senator John Heinz Pittsburgh Regional History Center and Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum, the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History, and the Frick Art & Historical Center (home of controversial steel executive Henry Clay Frick). Walking tours explored the city's ethnic neighborhoods and architecture, while the "Born of Fire" tour sought out the region's industrial heritage through a visit to the remains of the Homestead Steel Works (now part of the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area) and a collection of artistic representations of the steel industry at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. It was a fascinating opportunity to consider the complexities of interpreting the contentious history of American industrial development for a public audience and the challenges of preserving and interpreting enormous artifacts such as those associated with the steel industry.

About BitScope Blade Raspberry Pi Clusters.Following the news of the BitScope Clusters Project for the Los Alamos National Laboratory and its exhibit at Super Compute 2017 in Denver this week, the response has been huge and very positive. You don't need to surf online long to see that many people really like the idea. It's not just the team at LANL. However, when people see the scale of the BitScope Cluster there is a very frequently asked question: "Wow, that's amazing...why?" To answer this we thought it would be a good idea to create a dedicated website. We'll post news about BitScope Clusters at bitscope.com from time to time but if you want the latest information about this project and the range of new Raspberry Pi Cluster Modules we'll be launching soon, see cluster.bitscope.com. Lots of people also ask us where they can buy a Cluster Module, now. For answers to both these questions, Read More... Scalable clusters make HPC R&D easy as Raspberry Pi.Denver 13th November 2017, BitScope Designs, developer of BitScope Blade, an infrastructure platform for Raspberry Pi available globally via element14, has built a large Raspberry Pi cluster for a pilot conceived at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The 750 node cluster, comprising five rack mount BitScope Cluster Modules, each with 150 x 64 bit quad-core Raspberry Pi ARM boards and integrated network switches is the first step in a program run by the New Mexico Consortium (NMC), an organisation of three NM Universities and led by LANL. With up to 3,000 cores working together, the cluster gives developers and researchers exclusive time on an inexpensive but highly parallelized platform for test and validation of scalable systems software technologies. Gary Grider, leader of the High Performance Computing Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory and home of the Trinity supercomputer said: "It's not like you can keep a petascale machine around for R&D work in scalable systems software. The Raspberry Pi modules let developers figure out how to write this software and get it to work reliably without having a dedicated testbed of the same size, which would cost a quarter billion dollars and use 25 megawatts of electricity." Looking around for a solution to the challenges facing HPC Systems Software developers, Grider said, he "suddenly realized the Raspberry Pi was an inexpensive computer using 2 to 3 watts that you could use to build a several-thousand-node system large enough to provide a low-cost, low-power testbed to enable this R&D." Yet he could not find a suitable densely packaged Raspberry Pi system on the market - "it was just people building clusters with Tinker Toys and Legos," said Grider, a widely respected innovator in the HPC world. So he turned to SICORP of Albuquerque, N.M., to collaborate on a solution. Bruce Tulloch, CEO of BitScope Designs said: "Having worked with Raspberry Pi for quite some time, I've long thought it the ideal candidate to build low-cost cloud and cluster computing solutions for research and education. When SICORP approached us with Gary's plans, we jumped at the opportunity to prove the concept." BitScope Blade turned out to be the perfect platform to build the solution. With its ability to power and mount multiple Raspberry Pi in a compact and robust way, BitScope was able to design, develop and build the entire cluster to LANL's specifications in less than three months. Eben Upton, CEO of Raspberry Pi Trading said: "This is the first time we've seen Raspberry Pi packaged in such a way that clusters of potentially very large size can be built. This project demonstrates that even in the field of advanced supercomputing research, Raspberry Pi can have a fascinating role to play." A BitScope Cluster Module is on exhibit at The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC17) in Denver this week. Read More... You haven't seen BitScope Blade and Raspberry Pi like this!BitScope Blade is the premier solution for building compute cluster and cloud solutions with Raspberry Pi. Following the BitScope Blade Launch with element14 this year Bruce outlined plans to develop larger Raspberry Pi clusters for use in industrial IoT. We've come a long way over the past few months, working hard behind the scenes and one new development in particular excites us. If you're in or near Denver next week, come and visit us at The International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis to learn all about it! High Performance Computing is not a field in which we've worked much before but that's set to change, thanks to Raspberry Pi, Blade and the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). LANL has chosen Raspberry Pi and BitScope to solve some difficult problems they face as world leading developers of high performance super compute clusters like Trinity and Crossroads. They will explain how at the conference. Read More... Farnell element14 interviews BitScope CEO Bruce TullochIn January this year we launched the BitScope Blade range through element14's distribution channels. It's the latest result in a fruitful strategic alliance between our two companies which has seen element14 and its subsidiaries providing manufacturing and distribution support for popular BitScope products such as BitScope Micro. Farnell element14 caught up with BitScope CEO Bruce Tulloch to find out more about the BitScope Blade launch, working with element14 and carving out a niche in an increasingly competitive market. In the interview Bruce introduced BitScope Blade, some typical applications and the intended audience for what is a unique product in industrial computing. Bruce explained BitScope's motivation for developing Blade in the first place and how working with element14, its resale partners and Embest Technologies has made it possible to have these new products made available to customers around the world. When asked about BitScope's future plans and products Bruce gave a brief outline of the roadmap alluding to new Blade based BitScope test, measurement and data acquisition systems as well as hub cards, cluster packs, racks and power plates to construct and scale up solutions beyond four Raspberry Pi and BitScope devices to clusters of twenty, forty, eighty or more. Bruce also talked about future directions in industrial computing and IoT and recent developments that have caught his attention which are driving the R&D direction of the company and our new products releases. Head on over to the element14's IoT Hub where you can read the full interview. Raspberry Pi Zero W, a wireless wonder for only $10 !Raspberry Pi Zero goes wireless completing the picture first sketched just over a year ago with the original. The new model adds the missing link; wireless connectivity. We like it! This tiny little Pi is a full computer:
All this is the same as the last edition of the original version (V1.3). The game changer in this one is full support for Bluetooth 4.0 and 2.4GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi! It's the same wireless connectivity that impressed us at the Raspberry Pi 3 launch this time last year. Since the Raspberry Pi team told us about it we've been hard at work looking into BitScope solutions. BitScope is compatible with Raspberry Pi already and since Raspberry Pi 3 we've had wireless support. What's interesting here is the size and price of Pi Zero Wireless combined with the compact BitScope Micro. Read More... How to assemble and get started using BitScope Blade.BitScope Blade Reloaded, launched recently with element14, is an enhanced version of the original Blade. It is available in three editions; Uno, Duo and Quattro to power and mount one, two or four Raspberry Pi. In this post we'll get you started. In each package is the Blade (Uno, Duo or Quattro), a Quick Start Guide, Product Compliance Statement, a Safety Guide and set of screws, spacers and tabs. The Raspberry Pi and power supplies are available separately as there is a range of options from which to choose. Using Blade is as simple is plugging in one or more Raspberry Pi and optionally HAT, CAP or HUB cards, inserting an SD card and connecting power. There are a few assembly steps first. Follow through the guide to learn the options available when assembling it including mounting and powering Blade itself and how to install the Raspberry Pis, HATs, cameras, displays and other USB, Network, I2C, SPI, serial and GPIO periperhals and expansion options that are available. There's a lot more than meets the eye when using Raspberry Pi with BitScope Blade. Read More... Heatwave no problem for BitScope Blade and Raspberry Pi !We had an unexpected demonstration of just how robust Raspberry Pi is as a compute platform this week. If you live downunder where our R&D headquarters are, you will know it's been very hot for quite a while. It just seems like it will never end↗. Recently the mercury topped 40℃ (that's 104℉) in Sydney. If the airconditioning fails it's intolerable, not just for humans. Unfortunately, that's just what happened over the weekend just past in our lab and inside it got very hot. We had pair of Dell PowerEdge servers for our office and R&D teams in the lab but the overheating got the better of them and after years of service they both died. Not so the 32 Raspberry Pi in the same lab mounted in Blade Racks and on the wall all powered by Blade boards. As we wrote a few days ago, we reckon Blade Duo↗ and pair of Raspberry Pi and WDLabs' PiDrive↗ is perfect combination for replacing our old servers. There's nothing like a little dogfooding↗ to prove a product idea so we'll write up what we've done after we've migrated our server set up a new Blade Duo and PiDrive. Read More... Raspberry Pi Applications built with BitScope Blade.BitScope Blade Reloaded is our latest computing infrastructure platform for Raspberry Pi. We've recently posted examples of how Blade was used to build a weather station and an interactive museum exhibit. In this one we explain how each Blade edition differs and the best applications for each of Uno, Duo and Quattro. BitScope Blade solves the "power and mounting problem" using Raspberry Pi. Like most single board computers, a common problem using Raspberry Pi is how to power it reliably and how to mount it robustly. It can be especially challenging when additional peripherals such as HATs and USB devices like BitScope are used and/or when you're using more than one. BitScope Blade solves these problems making it easy to build small stand-alone servers, routers and workstations up to full sized compute clusters, private clouds, industrial IoT, edge and fog computing platforms, industrial data acquisition and control systems. HATs and other peripherals compatible with Raspberry Pi are fully supported and all of them work much more reliably when powered by BitScope Blade. In this post we explain three typical example applications to show how BitScope Blade solves these and other problems when using Raspberry Pi for industrial, commercial and educational purposes. Read More... An Interactive Museum Exhibit built with BitScope Blade.The MAAS PowerHouse Museum↗ has created an interactive exhibit to demonstrate how a Theremin works. A Theremin is a novel electronic musicial instrument, invented almost by accident by Leon Theremin in the 1920s. The team at MAAS are advocates of learning by doing and having fun while you do it so they sought to create an entertaining exhibit where visitors play the theremin to hear and see the results while learning how it all works. MAAS used BitScope Blade Uno together with a Raspberry Pi, BitScope and LCD monitor to build the exibit. Adding some low cost off-the-shelf parts, they had all they needed to build the installation. We're very impressed with the system the MAAS team built. It was a great example of how to use BitScope, Blade and Raspberry Pi to create an exhibit. It demonstrated how easy it is to build a reliable, hands-free embedded physical computing platform with Raspberry Pi and BitScope when power and mounting issues are resolved using BitScope Blade. With the launch of the new BitScope Blade range with our friends at element14 earlier this week, we'll publish more examples like this for use in industrial and related embedded applications. Read More... BitScope Blade Uno Weather Station in Nepal.A team lead by Prabesh Sapkota and Binod Kandel from the Robotics Association of Nepal↗ in Nepal built a battery backed solar powered weather station at very low cost using BitScope Blade Uno, Raspberry Pi and Arduino. The result of a series of workshops in STEM created by Michelle Jensen↗ and run with the help of Nepalese enthusiasts, this amazing project showed how BitScope Blade can be used to power electronics and computers in remote areas without access to reliable power. Weather forecasting in Nepal is difficult because there is no national weather service and the high mountains produce highly variable conditions within just a few kilometers. You need your own weather station but they're not cheap. They solved the problem with Raspberry Pi, Arduino and a bunch of sensors to build a system which was low cost, reliable, easy to maintain, operates on solar power and uses readily available motorcycle batteries for when the sun does not shine. Powering the entire project was the problem. BitScope Blade Uno offered the perfect solution, powering the Raspberry Pi directly and the Arduino and sensors via one of its auxiliary power ports. It's been running successfully 24x7 since September. As project leader Prabesh said, "The Weather Station would not be possible without the Blade. It made the whole project for us." Read More... BitScope and element14 launch new Blade for Raspberry Pi !We're pleased to announce the release of three new BitScope Blades in partnership with element14. BitScope Blade Reloaded is our latest infrastructure platform for Raspberry Pi. It allows Raspberry Pi to be used to build reliable and scalable computing solutions in industry, commerce and education. The new models expand the features and capabilities of the original adding support for camera and display connections and full access to Raspberry Pi I/O including I2C, SPI, UARTs and GPIO via the Blade HUB connector underneath each Pi. Like the original, Blade Reloaded boards are very accommodating, accepting DC power from 9V to 48V, and they can be used with the same wide range of rack, power and mounting solutions. Whether it's a stand-alone solar powered weather station in a remote area, a multi-channel test, measurement and data acquisition system for factory automation, or a full scale compute cluster with 40 nodes or more, BitScope Blade makes it possible.

"But surely," you might argue, "science and religion must be compatible. After all, some scientists are religious." One is Francis Collins, head of the National Institutes of Health and an evangelical Christian. But the existence of religious scientists, or religious people who accept science, doesn't prove that the two areas are compatible. It shows only that people can hold two conflicting notions in their heads at the same time. If that meant compatibility, we could make a good case, based on the commonness of marital infidelity, that monogamy and adultery are perfectly compatible. No, the incompatibility between science and faith is more fundamental: Their ways of understanding the universe are irreconcilable.Later in the column there's a paragraph about the high number of agnostic and atheist scientists.
But don't just take my word for the incompatibility of science and faith — it's amply demonstrated by the high rate of atheism among scientists. While only 6% of Americans are atheists or agnostics, the figure for American scientists is 64%, according to Rice professor Elaine Howard Ecklund's book, Science vs. Religion.So what's the problem? In the first paragraph, he's taken the position that you can't prove religion/science compatibility by collecting cases. That's the force of the marriage example. Cases of marital infidelity will not prove that monogamy and adultery are compatible. But note--it goes the other way too. Cases of marital fidelity don't prove that monogamy and adultery are incompatible. If there's really an analogy there, then Francis Collins shows nothing about science/religion compatibility, as Coyne says. But then the atheist scientists show nothing either.
So the problem is the marital infidelity analogy. It forces you to read Coyne as completely dismissing the case of Collins as showing anything at all. Given that analogy, you can't read him as merely saying Collins doesn't prove anything, as he now says (at his blog) was his meaning. He had to mean he showed nothing at all, and couldn't (logically) go on and cite the high rate of non-belief among scientists to prove that religion and science are incompatible.
Diagnosis: dismissing Collins using the marital fidelity example is a standard move. It's in Sam Harris's new book too (p. 160). But you just can't use it if you want to go on to cite data about how often scientists are non-believers. The two moves are...incompatible. It would take careful thought to decide which move is the one to give up.
If we do decide cases tell us something, then clearly we should include both religious and non-religious scientists as evidence, but should we really include the entire population? Coyne seems to think so. He writes--
Further proof: Among countries of the world, there is a strong negative relationship between their religiosity and their acceptance of evolution. Countries like Denmark and Sweden, with low belief in God, have high acceptance of evolution, while religious countries are evolution-intolerant. Out of 34 countries surveyed in a study published in Science magazine, the U.S., among the most religious, is at the bottom in accepting Darwinism: We're No. 33, with only Turkey below us. Finally, in a 2006 Time poll a staggering 64% of Americans declared that if science disproved one of their religious beliefs, they'd reject that science in favor of their faith.If we're going to take scientists, believing and non-believing, as showing something about religion/science compatibility, isn't that because they're especially rational, and especially cognizant of the nature of science? Why take the average person's psychology as telling us whether it's rational to accept both religion and science? I certainly wouldn't take a poll to find out if free will and determinism are compatible, or atheism and morality are compatible. Why resolve the issue of science/religion compatibility that way?
Note: I rewrote this post for greater clarity and eliminated something I'd said about supposing the NIH had a Hindu instead of a Christian head. Whoops! I read Coyne's column and chapter 4 of The Moral Landscape at the same time and got them mixed up. The point about Hinduism is Harris's. It's actually quite compelling. See pg. 162.

After a nearly 48-hour manhunt, police arrested the suspect they say gunned down Nipsey Hussle in front of the popular rapper's South Los Angeles clothing store.
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies detained Eric Holder, 29, on Tuesday afternoon in the city of Bellflower, two days after the shooting and 20 miles away from the crime scene. LAPD detectives quickly arrived to verify that he was the suspect they'd sought.
The focus now shifts from the streets to the courtroom. Holder is likely to be charged with killing Hussle and to make his first appearance in front of a judge in the next two days.
Authorities announced Holder as a suspect Monday night, publicizing his face and name and publicly urging him to turn himself in. Police said a tip from a citizen led them to Holder.
Hussle and Holder knew each other, and the two had some kind of personal dispute in the hours before the rapper was killed, police Chief Michel Moore said at a news conference earlier Tuesday.
The two men had several interactions on Sunday, and Holder returned to the store with a handgun and opened fire on Hussle and two other men, who survived the shooting, police said.
The chief did not reveal how the two men were acquainted or offer any details about their dispute, but he emphasized it was a personal matter between Hussle and Holder. Hussle acknowledged that he was involved with a gang when he was younger, and police said Holder is a gang member, but the chief said gang rivalries played no role in the shooting.
After shooting Hussle and the two other men, Holder fled in a waiting car driven by a woman, Moore said.
The police chief and the president of the city's Police Commission, Steve Soboroff, had been scheduled to meet with Hussle on Monday to discuss the relationship between the police force and the inner city.
At Tuesday's news conference an emotional Soboroff read from the email Hussle sent asking for the meeting.
"Our goal is to work with the department to help improve communication, relationships and work towards changing the culture and dialogue between LAPD and your city," Hussle said in the email.
A memorial with art, flowers and tributes to Hussle grew around the store that he had hoped would be an anchor to revive the blocks around it.
Hundreds of fans and friends came to celebrate him. The scene grew tense Monday night when one man brandished a gun and caused a stampede that left nearly two dozen people injured, police said.
The 33-year-old Grammy-nominated rapper, whose real name was Ermias Asghedom, had recently purchased the strip mall and planned to redevelop it into a mixed-use commercial and residential complex.
The plan was part of Hussle's broader ambitions to remake the neighborhood where he grew up and attempt to break the cycle of gang life that lured him in when he was younger.
"Black Panther" star Chadwick Boseman on Tuesday joined a chorus of prominent names who have praised Hussle for his art and his humanity.
"He's a person that — he didn't see himself just rising on his own, that he saw himself rising with his community, with the people that he actually grew up with and knew," Boseman told The Associated Press at the CinemaCon expo in Las Vegas. "So to me, anybody that puts that much energy back into their surroundings, you have to honor them."
Boseman added, "People knew where his heart was. And his music was great."

The JavaScript Buy SDK was announced at Unite — Shopify's Partner and Developer Conference — to provide Shopify Partners with even more ways to host Shopify stores.
It's now easier to integrate the Shopify JavaScript Buy SDK into any website or CMS, meaning end users need minimal customization. This means products can be managed within the robust Shopify architecture, including checkout, returns, and shipping, while the look and feel is managed within the CMS.
Shopify website integration is a useful way for agencies or freelancers to provide customers with more creative online shopping experiences, and opens up new opportunities to pitch the SDK to current or potential clients.
Better yet, it means that smaller clients — those that previously would not have had the budget or thought it would be overly complicated — can now integrate Shopify into their website.
The Shopify JavaScript Buy SDK can be used to:
- Provide products on a service-oriented website
- Offer a low-risk way to test a full-store idea
- Provide a simple way of creating landing pages
- Create a microsite for a unique set of products
Today I'll go through all four options in detail.

1. Limited products as part of a website
Some clients have a service-oriented website, and generally don't put a lot of effort into selling products. However, they may be looking to earn some additional revenue, or increase brand awareness through promotional products.
Perhaps it's a charity that would like to sell some merchandise as a fundraiser. Or a service company with some tools it could promote. Or a restaurant with a line of in-house sauces, or a recipe book. Any of these examples would benefit from a Shopify integration within their existing website.
Here's a real-life example: The Stanley Thompson Society promotes some of the world's best golf courses, created by Stanley Thompson. It's a rich website with a lot of information about the man, the exceptional golf courses he created, and the activities of the Society, including verifying Stanley Thompson golf courses and providing a scholarship for golf course design/maintenance..
As part of the website, they also use Shopify integration to sell golf-related products through the Stanley Thompson Store.
2. Test a full store idea
The benefits of reaching an expanded online audience, and providing an easy way for existing customers to shop from their home, can be a substantial win for clients already running a retail operation. But, taking the leap to e-commerce can also create a lot of anxiety and involve a considerable amount of time, money, and risk to get up and running.
Testing the idea of an online store can be a good way of reducing that risk. A retailer can take a subset of products — ones they think will sell best online — and display them on a simple website, using the Shopify integration.
If the client has a limited budget, more of it can be spent on marketing, in order to test the idea and get it off to a great start. If there's good feedback, you're on the right path. Continue adding products to set up the full store, while continuing to test customer appetite.
On the other hand, if you test the market response and find that there's not enough interest, your client will be glad you saved them significant time and money.
A solid example of testing an idea online is Kyfak and their first product — a hilarious party game called FINISHIT. To start selling the game, Kyfak wanted a simple website to introduce the company, and sell their boardgame and accessories online. The Shopify integration was just the thing they needed to get started. If the board game sells well online, Kyfak plans on expanding into other products.
3. Enhance your landing page with products
Landing pages are a key component to a successful inbound marketing campaign. The landing page is a standalone web page that is distinct from your main website and has been designed for a single call to action. The navigation bar is hidden to restrict the options available to users visiting this page, helping to guide them toward an intended goal, such as subscribing to a newsletter or asking for an email in exchange for a discount coupon or download.
A campaign may use social media, content marketing, email marketing, or paid search to drive a visitor to a landing page, in the hopes of converting them, giving better results than sending visitors to a generic page on the website.
With the Shopify JavaScript Buy SDK iIntegration, you can maximize sales of a specific product or product line by leading visitors to a landing page that is focused on promoting the product or /product line. Instead of the usual call to action, you can have a bBuy bButton as the focus of the landing page, incentivizing visitors toward buying a product (and getting their email in the process).
At my agency, Northern Village, we use our website's landing page to sell a custom laptop pad that keeps a computer cool while sitting on a lap. We now have a link that we can use to promote the product on Twitter, Facebook, and various blogs. The Shopify integration made promotion effective, and the orders are rolling in.
4. Create a microsite for a set of products
A retailer may have a set of products that are quite different from their main business. It could be a specialty item, or a set of products that is better suited for an online store. Creating a microsite for a product line is also a good way to reach a new online market. A small website with its own unique branding can easily be setup.
It's easy to create a small website, and add products to a new store.
A great example is Elf Cozy's Workshop, a Canadian online store specializing in custom clothing and accessories for professional Santas, including puffy shirts, aprons, ball caps, etc. It was born out of Sharon's Cozy Horse Creations, but because Santa clothing doesn't have anything to do with horse accessories, Sharon decided to set up a one page website to test demand for a full website. Within only a few weeks of launch, the website was receiving orders from as far away as Hawaii.

Embedding Shopify into a website
How simple is it to set up a Shopify integration in a CMS? Once the Javascript Buy SDK is embedded into a CMS, there are only a few simple steps that you need to follow for the store to appear on a website.
To use any of these examples, we first need to set up clients in the main Shopify JavaScript file. The following JavaScript code initializes the website to the Shopify store:
Once that is set up, the CMS can be configured to embed a store into any page on the website. One way of doing this is to have a script that specifies a Product or Collection that can appear on that page, like so:
This is the way that it has been set up in the Northern Village CMS, however, there are different ways to do this. The following are instructions on how the Javascript SDK can be set up in your CMS.
Configuring your CMS
The code below, provided by the team at Shopify, outlines how the Shopify SDK works, so that it can be placed into a CMS. It demonstrates the different and simple ways you can use the JavaScript Buy SDK to build ecommerce into any website. Head over to Getting started for more details.
Product Checkout
This example illustrates the simplest way to integrate ecommerce into your site in order to allow visitors to purchase a single product. It creates an HTML anchor element that links to the product's checkout URL.
We're going to create markup in our JavaScript, therefore our HTML can just include a container element.
After fetching a product with the product ID, we use the promise function to generate some markup with the required attributes and content, and add it inside our HTML container element.
Product Add-To-Cart
This example illustrates the use of a cart to manage multiple products and variants. Only certain snippets of code will be highlighted from the full example, available in a subfolder in the JS Buy SDK repository.
First, the app makes a call to retrieve the product. Then, it sets a few variables to store the default selected variant, the selected variant's image, and the variant options available for the product.
The demo then updates the HTML structure for the product using the updateProductTitle, updateVariantImage, updateVariantTitle, and updateVariantPrice functions, and builds out <select> elements for the product's variant options and appends them to the product's HTML markup.
Various listener functions are called to watch for 'Add to Cart' button clicks, variant option changes, and increment/decrement buttons for the variants in the cart.
The attachOnVariantSelectListeners function updates the product.options when a selected option is changed, then calls the various update functions with the new selected variant and selected variant's image.
In our example application, when a product variant is added to the cart, the addVariantToCart function handles a series of things. First, it updates the cart model. It then uses the line items in the cart to build the required markup, in order to display the cart items in the DOM.
Show/Hide Cart
Additional event listeners are used to toggle the cart's visibility on/off, by adding and removing the js-active class on the cart.
An affordable way to have an online store
The Shopify JavaScript Buy SDK makes it easy to create a store within any website. This opens up possibilities for introducing customers to the idea of an online store, with lower risk and potentially higher reward.
This allows you to use Shopify's robust, full-featured admin interface and checkout process, while retaining the look and feel of your client's website.

Eagle tries to carry off Australian boy
From the BBC
A wedge-tailed eagle tried to fly away with a terrified boy at a popular wildlife show in central Australia.
A crowd of stunned onlookers watched the enormous bird latch its talons on to the screaming boy's head during a show at Alice Springs Desert Park.
Witnesses said the bird attempted to pick him up "like a small animal".
The boy – believed to be between six and eight years old – escaped with a "superficial" gash to his face.
Christine O'Connell from Horsham in Victoria state was visiting the park with her husband on 6 July when the attack occurred.
She told the BBC the eagle flew straight for the boy from about 15m away.
"A fellow who was sitting closer said the little boy kept running his zipper up and down," said Mrs O'Connell, who caught the attack on her camera.
Distracted by the noise, the eagle grabbed the boy's green hoodie and attempted to lift him away before park staff moved in, Mrs O'Connell said.
The attack left the boy crying and bleeding, but his injuries were not severe.
A Victorian man who was in the crowd, Keenan Lucas, told the NT News the show was ended quickly after the attack.
"We're at the bird show in the afternoon, having a great time and looking forward to seeing the wedge-tailed eagle come out for the finale," he said.

LED 3x
The new 1511 Mobilux series of illuminated hand-held magnifiers features LED illumination with many new benefits! SMD LED (light emitting diode) illumination provides an alternative light source preferred by many due to its distinctly whiter spectrum and longer useful life. In addition to the bulbs offering nearly unlimited life (50,000 hours!), the batteries last 5 times as long as when used with incandescent bulbs. These features provide lower usage costs and make the magnifiers even easier to use.
To soften the color of the light small yellow filters are included which can be snapped-on over the LED bulbs to provide an illumination option.
Additional features of the new 1511 Mobilux include:
- A comfortable, ergonomic handle with a large, easy-to-operate ON/Off switch
- A battery compartment that uses high quality springs that makes changing the batteries a snap and a cover that opens and closes easily
- A complimentary protective case that protects the lens cover and 2 AA batteries
- Patented cera-tec coating resists scratches

Remember that there are four assessment criteria and each one is worth 25% of your overall marks. So, it is important to make sure that you can get the highest grammar score possible.
Features of a band 4 user
When an examiner assesses your Speaking and Writing tests they look for what you can do, and also what you cannot do. These are the positive and negative features of your performance.
When assessing GRA, a band 4 test taker has the following features:
they can use basic sentence structures
they use a very limited range of sentence structures
they rarely use complex structures
they make frequent errors
some errors may lead to misunderstanding
As you can see, a band 4 performance has a number of negative features, so you need to make sure that your performance has more positive features than negative features.
What is a basic sentence?
A band 4 user can use basic sentence structures. These are basic sentence forms with a subject, verb and object. You can also use adjectives and adverbs to add meaning to the other words.
For example:
"I live in Australia. I come from Nigeria."
"I like reading crime novels. I like running, but I am a slow runner."
A basic sentence is a complete idea and can stand alone independently. It is usually quite short and only contains a single idea.
We can join these basic sentences with simple linkers to form a compound sentence. The most common linkers (coordinating conjunctions) are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. Remember FANBOYS, and you will easily remember the different linkers that join two simple sentences. Notice that we add a comma (,) before the linker.
"I live in Australia, but I come from Nigeria."
What is a complex sentence?
A complex sentence contains a subordinate clause. This is a dependent clause that refers to the subject (who, which), or the time (since), or the reason (because), of the independent clause. A complex sentence is usually longer than a basic simple sentence as it has two or more ideas.
When we use a complex sentence, we usually use a subordinate conjunction to link the sentences, for example, when, where, if, because, before.
"I left my country because I wanted to live with my family in Australia."
"My mother, who lives in Australia, asked me to visit her."
"If I complete my course, I will look for a new job."
As you can see above, we have used three different types of complex structures. The first one is an adverb clause, describing the reason why you left your country. The second one is a relative clause, which gives more information about where your mother lives. The third example is a conditional clause, describing what you might do if you complete your course.
A band 4 user relies on simple structures and rarely uses complex structures.
What mistakes does a band 4 user make?
A band 4 user makes a lot of grammatical errors and this sometimes makes it difficult for the examiner to understand what is said. If you have experienced talking to native speakers and they ask you to repeat what you are saying, this may be because they don't understand what you are trying to say. Grammatical errors can change the meaning of your sentence and can cause confusion.
The most common grammatical mistakes are:
Subject/verb agreement – I am, you are, he/she is, they are
Right: I want to live in Australia.
Wrong: I wants to live in Australia.
Tense choice – Present tense, past tense, present perfect
Right: I went to a movie yesterday.
Wrong: I go to a movie yesterday.
Article use – a/an/the or the zero article
Right: I like living in Australia.
Wrong: I like living in the Australia.
Prepositions – on/at/to/under/over/for
Right: I need to go to the bank
Wrong: I need to go at the bank
If the examiner misunderstands what you say and write because of errors, it will affect how you will be assessed.
How to move from an IELTS band 4 to a band 5
A band 5 user will attempt to use a wider range of grammatical structures using both simple and complex structures. There are still errors made, but the examiner can generally understand what is said.
Follow these tips to show the examiner you can use a range of structures and can communicate your ideas more clearly.
Make sure your simple sentences are correct.
Link simple sentences with coordinating conjunctions.
Use complex sentences linked with subordinating conjunctions.
Attempt a variety of structures (simple tenses, perfect tenses, conditionals, relative clauses.)
Be aware of your errors and learn how to correct them.
Practise speaking about yourself, where you come from, and what you do.
Practise writing sentences using commas and full stops correctly.
Practise using longer sentences by adding reasons why you like something, or adding adjectives and adverbs to make your description more interesting.
Learn how to use the subordinating conjunctions in this table.
Conjunction | Example |
After | I will travel to Australia after I get my visa. |
Although | Although the sun is shining, I feel cold. |
As | The weather in my country is not as hot as Australia. |
As long as | As long as I practise English every day, it will improve. |
As soon as | As soon as you are ready, I will book a taxi. |
Because | I studied English because I wanted to speak another language. |
Before | Before I came to Australia, I travelled to New Zealand. |
By the time | By the time I arrived, the other students were already there. |
Even if | Even if I make a few mistakes, my friends can still understand me. |
If | If I become a chef, I will open my own restaurant. |
Only if | I will open my own restaurant only if I graduate as a chef. |
Since | I have not seen my family since last year. |
Than | Australia is a much hotter country than where I live. |
Though | Though I speak English, I still find it difficult to understand native speakers. |
Until | I didn't know what Australia was like until I moved there. |
When | Saturday is the day when I will do my IELTS test. |
Whenever | I am happy to visit you whenever you are available. |
Where | That is the place where I was born |
Whereas | All of my family are chefs, whereas I am a teacher. |
Whether or not | Whether you like Vegemite or not, it is something a lot of Australians eat. |
While | I read my book while I was on the train. |
It is possible to improve your grammatical score by following the tips in this blog. Show the examiner that you can use simple and complex structures and be aware of the usual grammar mistakes you make.
By improving your English grammar, your friends will understand you better and life in an English-speaking country will be much easier.
Follow the steps in the blog to practise your grammar and you will see an improvement in your GRA score.

Newswise — Researchers at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science continue to monitor the algal blooms that have been discoloring Chesapeake Bay waters during the last few weeks. These "red tides" occur in the lower Bay every summer, but have appeared earlier and across a wider area than in years past, likely due to last winter's warmth and this summer's heat.
Red tides are caused by dense blooms of tiny marine plants called algae that contain reddish pigment. Algae are normal components of all aquatic environments, but can produce what is known as a "harmful algal bloom" or "HAB" when they bloom in significant numbers and generate toxic byproducts. HABs can be harmful to both marine organisms and human health.
Professor Kim Reece, a member of Virginia's Harmful Algal Bloom Task Force, is the focal point for HAB research and monitoring at VIMS. Reece, fellow VIMS professor Wolfgang Vogelbein, and other colleagues at VIMS partner with representatives from the Virginia Department of Health, the Marine Resources Commission, the Department of Environmental Quality, and Old Dominion University to track the appearance of algal blooms within Virginia waters and to determine whether the bloom organisms pose any threat to marine life or human health.
There is currently no evidence of harm from the recent blooms, which were first observed in early to mid-July. Study of samples taken in the York River near VIMS' Gloucester Point campus show that they comprise dense aggregations of Cochlodinium polykrikoides, a single-celled marine dinoflagellate. Reece says "Blooms of this and closely related species may harm oyster larvae and other marine life, and are associated with fish kills and economic loss in Japan and Korea, but we've had no reports of any of these effects in local waters this year." Fish and crab kills reported in the Bay during Cochlodinium blooms in previous years are likely due to low levels of dissolved oxygen, which are associated with blooms of many different species and occur when the algal cells die, sink, and decay.
Virginia residents who have observed a patch of water that is colored red or mahogany and are concerned should contact Virginia's toll-free Harmful Algal Bloom hotline at (888) 238-6154.
Algal blooms are not uncommon in lower Chesapeake Bay during the spring and summer. Algae respond to the same conditions that encourage plant growth on land, and thus are most likely to form blooms when waters are warm and nutrient rich. Excess nutrients from farms and yards, sewage treatment plants, and the burning of fossil fuels are one of the biggest challenges facing the Bay.
"There are three main ingredients for an algal bloom," explains Reece. "Warm waters that favor rapid growth of algal cells, abundant nutrients to fertilize that growth, and wind and tidal-driven currents to confine the cells into a dense aggregation. Our recent heat and rains provide ideal conditions for bloom formation, so we'll continue to monitor whether the ongoing blooms become a cause for any concern."
Real-time monitoring of algal blooms is not an easy task, as it involves developing and applying DNA tests to rapidly identify—from among a huge variety of mostly benign microorganisms—the particular algal species that have been observed to produce toxins. Development of these molecular DNA assays is a prime focus of Reece's research at VIMS.
Monitoring also requires daily collection of water samples from all across lower Chesapeake Bay. Analysis of these samples at VIMS shows that Cochlodinium is currently blooming in the York, James, Elizabeth, and Lafayette rivers; Mobjack Bay; and near the mouth of the Bay in the vicinity of the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel.

Ellen DeGeneres' Old Tweet About Making an 'Employee Cry Like a Baby' Goes Viral
A super old post shared by Ellen DeGeneres more than ten years ago has gone viral in the wake of various toxic workplace allegations regarding the reportedly "mean" culture at The Ellen Show.
The tweet in question? An admission that the award-winning talk show host made one of her "employees cry like a baby on today's show."
The kicker? DeGeneres signs her post off with: "Honestly, it felt good."
Big yikes. See the damning tweet social media users have dug up, below:
This isn't a good look for DeGeneres, whose public image as America's TV sweetheart has tanked in recent months due to a number of allegations regarding racism, sexual misconduct, bullying and more, which were reported by former and current, anonymous Ellen Show employees.
However, according to Page Six, this particular tweet, which was posted June 5, 2009, was in reference to a happy moment in which the talk show host surprised a staff member, Jeannie Klisiewicz, with a fully paid cruise vacation. So, they were actually happy tears!
All the same, the seemingly mean tweet going viral right now, in the midst of mounting controversy, is undoubtedly bad timing for DeGeneres—and people are having a field day with it.

Save money by preparing for the worst
When the insurance company offers you a quote for your homeowners insurance policy, they come up with that quote by figuring out how much of a risk your house has of facing a major disaster.
To figure out that risk, they look at a lot of things: how new your home is, the area where it's located, your credit score, and many other factors. There are people who do nothing but figure out different things about people and homes just to determine how much risk they add to the possibility of a home disaster.
Interestingly, there are a lot of factors that you can control in this process, and they lead to direct rewards from your insurance company in the form of lower rates.
Each insurance company is a bit different in terms of the discounts they offer, but most of them offer some form of the following discounts for personal choices that reduce the disaster likelihood in your home.
Protective devices Do you have smoke alarms? Burglar alarms? Do these devices automatically contact the police or fire department when signaled? Do you have secure locks and/or deadbolts?
Each of these things can be installed by you at some cost, and each one is likely to be able to reduce your homeowners policy.
Retirement Do you live at home or work at home? If so, you might be able to get a lower rate because you're present at home more often and thus more able to avert disasters as they happen.
I actually get a reduction because of this. I called up my insurance company and told them that I work almost exclusively from home and requested a reduction, and they gave me a small one.
Non-smoking If you don't smoke, your homeowners policy is going to be lower. When I was growing up, both of my parents were smokers, they lived in an old house, and thus their policy was very expensive. When my mother quit, it actually lowered significantly.
If you need further incentive to quit, a lower-cost insurance policy might be just the ticket.
You should contact your homeowners insurance provider today to ask what sort of credits they offer for personal actions you can take or home improvements you can make to reduce the likelihood of a home disaster. There are a lot of them out there and many of them are easy to achieve. Each one will save you money and reduce the chance of heartache in the long run.
This post is part of a yearlong series called "365 Ways to Live Cheap (Revisited)," in which I'm revisiting the entries from my book "365 Ways to Live Cheap," which is available at Amazon and at bookstores everywhere.

Mashla Muri and Cha -- for a weekend
Mashla Muri is the homebody, gharelu cousin of sexy Jhaalmuri. It doesn't ask much from you. Roast some puffed rice to warm and crisp, add finely chopped onion and green chili. The chili must be the fiery, hot kind. Some finely chopped cukes are most welcome. Next goes some spicy mixture or dalmut.
While you pour the pungent mustard oil, let the tea boil to give you company when you need it most.
With a sprinkle of chat masala and a quick toss of the muri, Mashla Muri is ready, Sit back with your cup of tea and enjoy.
Have a nice weekend.

Dear Bong Mom,
Is that a tea bag I spy in your pic? Heresy! No good bong can publicly admit using tea bags other than while traveling in trains (Waltair for the winter, Puri for summer). Even CTC is ok, but bags? In a blog called Bong something? Terrible.
Nice one, Sandeepa, to ease the lingering chicken stew taste out.- AnonymousSeptember 10, 2011 8:50 PM
Just having chai and wishing for some of that spicy moori. So good!
ReplyDelete Subhorup
yeah, it is an Earl grey :) I love the flavor so dunk a bag in my regular CTC + milk tea. Not for me the "halka" Darjeeling Bong tea :-D
I like my tea with a punch
Try it, easy and satisfying
I never make omlettes in mustard oil, don't like my omlette to smell mustardy ;-) Try to get a good brand that will make you sneeze. The other day I saw an Indian ad, proclaiming "First pressed Mustard Oil"., soon there will be EVMO. Don't go for all that and ask around for a trusted brand.
really, I thought you would surely have had thisSayantani
yehhhh, you remembered, love you girl :) yes, Earl Grey + CTC is my favored blend :) Muri Mashla, eikhane to pabo na :(
If you don't have mustard oil, try some pickle oil. That too adds a great taste.
Thank you
Awww, it goes so good with chai, doesn't it ?
Ami ei ta te bhaji ni. Kintu majhe majhe pyaj ar shukno lanka alada bheje murir sathe meshai, setao khub bhalo hoye
My jhaal-muris back home has to be on the train or at least on a bus ride. For this reason alone I look forward to going to the in-law's place from Kolkata :)
Nothing new with the roasted version. The puffed rice gets limp after storing a while and so I roast it dry to get back the crispiness
And you sure must have access to all kinds :)Anjali
Jhaal muri has a few more stuff going into it, cucumber pieces, roasted peanuts, coconut pieces etc. Also the road side one has its own charm.
The Mashla Muri is the everyday home style muri that we have.
The one you are talking about, is it called "Mobile Muri" ? A friend got some cones of that name from her last visit, looked pretty but nowhere near the real JhaalMuri.Anjali
Oh, okay, wait. Ask Sayantani, she knows about a "muri'r mashla", that is available in India. If you mix that with your muri you might get the real taste. And if she is vouching for it I am sure.
I really, really want you to taste the real JhaalMuri. It is like Vada Pav, I like the ones I get here at Hot Breads but they are not the real deal i would gorge on in B'bay after work.Sometimes we would use the "oil" left over from sour/hot oil pickles. If mentioning brand names is not inappropriate, Pachranga Mixed Pickles in the 28oz can has oil & juice to spare. Priya red chili pickle is spare of oil but great flavor for the muri, since adding oil pickle is acceptable, i.e. you can add dalmoth like the various "Punjabi Hot Mixes" plus some chopped pickle & juices, AND green THAI type chillies (aromatic) and as many or as few other things as Sandeepa indicates.
If you are feeling calorie challenged, please boil up some Russet potatoes, mash, and flavor simply with powdered roasted cumin seed & black salt. Shape into UFO-like patties, dip into BESAN batter & deep fry. This is Alu-r Chop,a "must" accompaniment, along with "Beguni", thin slices of eggplant dipped in Besan & fried.
In times past, the besan & sattu in India used to be ground fresh each day by the vendors. This allowed for inimitable flavor & crispness missing in the packaged material.sandeepa, murite knacha aam ta besh tak tak hote hobe. muriwala day alu, sosha, tomato (bhije hole hobe na), onion, lanka, narkol if u like, peanuts, dry roasted chola, sedho chola (very imp - i like it), then lanka guro, muri masala, sorsher tel and lebu (if u have immediately). bhujia on top.

My first visit to your site and I find such a yummy post!! Thank You.. and I am hooked on your site for sure :) - AnonymousFebruary 04, 2012 4:50 AM
can somebody tell me where will i get those "mobile muri"
ReplyDelete - AnonymousMay 10, 2012 9:14 AM
@Bong Mom
You can make muri masala at home too.
If we ever run out of it before we make a trip back to cal...we make it ourselves.
Just add dhaniya seeds, zeera and a wee bit of saunf to your typical bengali garam masala...roast and grind.
That's what they use in Russell Street.
Hope this helps :)

Baldwin Brings Berkshire-style Talk to Florida
Sherman Baldwin in his new studio in Florida — the state not the town. |
Former "TalkBerkshires" host Sherman Baldwin has found a home in sunny Sarasota, Fla., on WTMY radio.
The longtime radio host made his debut on "TalkSarasota" last week in the 3 to 6 p.m. spot weekdays. Baldwin said he's trying to the do same type of show he did in the Berkshires, focusing on local issues — politics, business and culture — with call-in questions. He said it's the only show of its type in the Sarasota market, the 73rd largest in the nation.
Baldwin hosted shows in Connecticut and Boston; he's best known around here for his morning program on WUPE a few years ago and his independently owned "TalkBerkshires" that premiered in 2009 after the Capital District station he was working at downsized. "TalkBerkshires" was a success on WBRK but died in a blaze of controversy.
The show was a favorite drop-in point for local pols and personalities who protested Baldwin's banishment from WBRK.
In any case, Baldwin toldhe needed to get back on the air and after a spot on Boston radio didn't pan out he landed in Sarasota.
"I get to go to the beach every day, it's beautiful here," he said. But he misses his WBRK studio, going to Teo's and his Berkshire friends. "I miss the Berkshires dearly. I miss it every day." And while he was a brand name up here, it's been harder to land the big the interviews down South. "I was well known in the Berkshires so getting someone on the line was easy, now the say, 'Sherman Baldwin who are you?'" he laughed.
If you know Baldwin, you know he doesn't take no for an answer. Less than two weeks on the air he's already landed Gov. Charlie Crist.
"I'm doing what I love and that's radio," he said.
We're glad to hear he's back on the airwaves and wish him lots of luck.
Find Baldwin's new website (which looks a lot like his old one) here. You can also watch him livestreaming on the WTMY website (which seriously needs an overhaul — it's scary looking).

Baldwin Leaving 'TalkBerkshires' & Area
Sherman Baldwin and producer Michael Valenti discussed 'TalkBerkshires' future. |
Sherman Baldwin is cutting ties with "TalkBerkshires" and leaving the area.
The embattled radio host announced his decision Friday afternoon to a handful of media and supporters at Chapters Bookstore on North Street, ending the short-lived radio show in its current form.
"I'm very disappointed. I really am ... but it's not to be," he said. WBRK pulled the plug on "TalkBerkshires" two weeks ago in a controversial move that had some Baldwin supporters crying censorship.
Baldwin, however, is hoping the independent program will be resurrected in some form with his producer of three months, Michael Valenti.
"I know he has the raw talent for it," said Baldwin of his young colleague to whom he's handing over the show. "I'll do everything I can to support him ... I cannot be clear when or where, but I do believe 'TalkBerkshires' will be on the air shortly."
But he said the call-in radio show's success will be more assured "without my personal baggage."
The 50-year-old radio personality went on the air in late May last year, swiftly becoming the go-to host as the local election season heated up. He featured roundtables and pared-down debates and sessions with Mayor James Ruberto and challenger Daniel Bianchi along with the numerous City Council candidates.
'TalkBerkshires' also hosted a debate between the 10 mayoral candidates and put the pressure on Bianchi to appear at the final mayoral debate just days before the election. He was proud of the comments of an older resident who told Baldwin he'd gone to the voting booth the most informed and educated he'd ever been because of listening to the show.
"TalkBerkshires" and its host also became active in local community efforts, such as the Hometown Committee and the search for a llama killer. (Baldwin said checks sent to him toward a reward won't be cashed until someone is caught.)
Valenti and Baldwin remain upbeat on the future. |
For three hours every weekday afternoon, Baldwin has chatted up state and local politicians, lawyers, bankers and local businessmen, among others, growing sizable fan base — and critics.
Baldwin's involvement in the Berkshire Job Summit, a private endeavor in conjunction with major advertiser Allen Harris of Berkshire Money Management, led to public airing of Baldwin's "personal baggage" — his conviction on fraud charges in the late '90s related to finishing filming of the cult-hit "The Crow."
Not that he'd hid the conviction. In fact, he'd been featured in an Albany Times-Union article on ex-cons trying to move on with their lives during his brief stint there on WROW the year before. But the story was mostly unknown in the Berkshires.
The troubles piled on — the job summit generated controversary and stepped on established toes and what Baldwin calls the "Massimiano saga" seems to have been the last straw for station owner Willard "Chris" Hodgkins.
Baldwin had taken a call a month before from James E. Monahan, who is accusing Sheriff Carmen Massimiano of molesting him nearly 30 years; two weeks ago, a related segment on libel claims against The Berkshire Eagle by Massimiano with both local lawyer Rinaldo Del Gallo and Clarence Fanto, former Eagle managing editor and now a freelance writer.
He said Hodgkins not only knew about both two call-ins, he approved them; the next morning, however, he was fired.
Baldwin said he has no hard feelings with the Hodgkins, though he simply said "no comment" when asked if he was pursuing legal recourse. He and Valenti were also mum on where they've been shopping the program.
"It was clear to me that 'TalkBerkshires' had a definite purpose in the community," said Valenti. "It gave an opportunity for a dialogue to exist. I think we made a believer out of a lot of people.
"It would be a shame not to continue the name."
The headlines may have helped Baldwin; he's already talked to two Boston stations.
"I do talk radio. It's really who I am ... at 50, I've learned that when I'm out of talk radio is when I've had more trouble in my life," he said, adding "I was pleased to hear that I have created enough of a name for myself in Massachusetts that it could continue to be my home."
Baldwin had hoped to remain in the Berkshires, where he arrived just a few years ago as a morning DJ on the local Vox stations. But a bigger market might be more suitable, without the "increased sensitivities" of a smaller community.
"I thought I would be here forever. That's not the case but it'll be a part of me forever," said Baldwin.
