In November 2016 I was a guest at Stribefeber Comicfestival in Kristiansand, Norway! In the Goethe-Institutes workshop with artists from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Great Britain and germany we sketched first ideas for the comics-project "Picture Politics". The website is already online! You can find it HERE. After my lecture "Human rights, history, and my comics" we had a lively discussion, and I am happy about two great articles in the Norwegian comics magazine "Serinett": "En familie som formet Tyskland" and "Dypdykk i jødisk historie" by Trond Sätre.

Comic-Salon Erlangen
Previous to this years´ International Comics-Salon Erlangen again I ran a number of Comics Workshops: in the framework of the cultural pedagogic project "Comic macht Schule" (Comics in school) in the civic day care Liegnitzer Strasse, in the junior high school at Europakanal and at the grammar school Hermann-Hedenus – as well as t the compny Siemens for the children of the employees.
With the civic day care Liegnitzer Strasse I already had the third Workshop starting in 2012- each time with the youngest accredited artists of the Comic-Salon! And again this year we published the results: "Hort Spots III – vom Alltag in die Phantasiewelt und zurück" (Hort Spots III – from every day life to the world of phantasy and back). At 17. International Comic-Salon Erlangen 26.–29. May 2016 we ceremoniously presented the results of the school-workshops, and the public radio station Deutschlandfunk paid attention to us in an interview in their radio propgram "Kakadu"! You can listen to this radio show in german language HERE.

Papa Roach release new music you can trust
News reporter? Check. Fake hurricane? Check. Epic new single? Check.
Headlining The Pit Stage on Sunday night – you were lucky if you were able to get into the tent for Papa Roach's set this year. Kicking off with the instant classic, 'Getting Away With Murder' and peppering in their huge hits including 'Falling Apart', 'Scars' and of course, 'Last Resort' – it was a set filled with raw emotion and banger after banger.
Now they've unleashed a pair of new songs to get us hyped for their new studio album. Watch the video for 'Who Do You Trust?' below, featuring the band disguised as members of a news team. It's not quite Anchorman, but it's on that level.
Has this got a Rage Against The Machine vibe, or is it just us? Either way, we're whacking this on our playlist ASAP.
Fancy yourself in a field next August bank holiday weekend? Nice. Us too.

A postnatal doula is experienced, knowledgeable and caring person who provides practical and emotional support to families with a new baby, particularly focussing on the new mother. She will encourage, nurture and reassure you as a new mother, as well as provide hands-on practical support in the home. This allows you time to bond with your new baby, to get some rest, and to thrive in your new role as your baby grows! A postnatal doula will work alongside your family in a way that meets your needs. This may typically involve visiting a few times a week for the fist 6-8 weeks, or may be a longer term arrangement.
As a couple expecting a baby, you may find yourselves well informed about labour and birth through attending antenatal classes, but feel very poorly prepared for caring for your new baby. It can be a daunting prospect to be fully responsible for the care of a baby, when you might have little previous experience or knowledge.
There may be particular reasons you need additional support in the postnatal period- maybe you are having twins or multiples or are worried about Caesarean recovery? Perhaps you feel at risk for postnatal depression and want some additional support in place?
But postnatal support is not something that needs to be justified with special circumstances- all new mothers need good support throughout those early weeks, but sadly, it is common in our culture that our immediate family and friends are not able to offer that essential help.
This is where a postnatal doula can be invaluable. A doula's role involves nurturing and caring for a new mother as she grows in confidence and competence in the skills required, and of course, being a support to the partner and any other children in the family. She will also be very hands-on in the practical help offered in order to keep the household running smoothly, allowing you as a mother precious time to focus on and bond with your baby and recover from the birth.
She will be a calming and reassuring presence in your home and will help you through the early days with a new baby. The laundry will be under control, you will have a nutritious, home-cooked meal ready for dinner time, you will be brought drinks and snacks, and have opportunity to rest and shower during the day. You will have someone knowledgeable and kind right on hand to help, listen, and reassure. Your doula will be able to help with the basics of breastfeeding and has access to many local experts and support groups and knows where to point you if needed.
Sounds amazing, doesn't it? But I hear you asking, can we afford this, isn't having a doula a frivolous luxury for the wealthy like Meghan Markle?
It's not hard to spend £750 on a travel system, or a couple of hundred pounds on baby gadgets that you could manage without. Perhaps rethink your spending priorities, cutting back a little or even ask for a contribution towards a postnatal doula from family and friends as a baby shower or instead of a new baby gift?
A happy, supported, confident and thriving new mother is undoubtedly well worth the investment!
Janine Ebling is an experienced postnatal doula in Woking, Surrey who has spent time working as a midwife and has training in baby wearing. She really enjoys supporting new families in a non- judgemental way. She has a gentle, caring manner and she can help to support you in your own home. As a doula she provides emotional, informational and practical support during the early weeks with a new baby.

As a Canadian termite control technician, our founder Jordan Tyler knew all about what poison for animals could do to the human body. This is why he couldn't look the other way upon realizing how much of the food Canadians regularly eat, is filled with pesticides.
He started researching further and found out this was only one of the issues.
He came to understand there was a considerable amount of information available out there, regarding the conditions of all available food. He chose to stick with an organic diet along with sharing the information he had gathered.
And thus the website was born with just a few useful links at first.
The Goals Driving Us
It became Jordan's goal to change the way Canadians eat, for he saw that it was not enough to include healthy food groups. The idea is to help people understand they must also be aware of how the food was produced, in order to be sure, they are actually eating healthier and not just more varied.
In order to achieve this goal, we know we have to keep expanding and improving our website. Making it friendly and more attractive, in addition to keep including more varied content among the information we share.
Always focusing on staying on topic, we explore different areas of organic healthy eating constantly.
And the ultimate goal that drives us is reaching as many people as possible because we understand important changes are better done by entire communities. This is the reason why we are not a physical support group or an activist organization.
The Internet has provided us with the best platform to achieve this and our other goals effectively.

Intro Diy Theme
Choosing a Theme for your site is much like falling in love — and it is one of the most important decisions a new blogger can make! Your theme is essentially your viewer's window in your blog's soul. Now that I have been blogging for almost six months and have had enough time to test drive my blog's topic, I wanted to share an honest review of my Restored 316 Designs motif and tell you why R316 topics are the BEST female WordPress themes for bloggers. Diy Theme
click here to begin now with Restored 316!
Restored 316 Designs is a company that creates stunning Topics for your female entrepreneur. Their feminine designs are the go-to motif for many successful bloggers and internet business owners.
I first found Out through Abby Lawson, who runs the thriving blog Just a Girl and Her Blog, whose blogging manual I spoke at length about here.
The Way to Select a BLOG THEME
I said that Choosing a theme is like falling in love, that is absolutely true!
There Are a lot of factors that influence falling in love: attractiveness, desirability, similarity, want fulfillment…like the ability to put down a hardwood floor, perhaps?
A woman can Dream, can't she?
(Let us just State I didn't marry my husband because of his handiness round the house. )p–>
Anyway, my point is if people come to your site, you want them to fall A little bit in love with you.
If they do, There's a good chance that they will return again.
Then again.
And hopefully Repeatedly, till you're such good buddies that you share inside jokes together in the comment section. (I need US to be friends like this.)
Studies reveal You only have 7 minutes to create a first impression…and don't you need a reader's first impression of you to be BRILLIANT? (FYI, in case it isn't you risk them clicking off and rebounding and never to return!)
So how can you Catch their attention with your blog theme? Actually, it's really simple!
You want a motif that's:
· Attractive
· Clean
· Simple to Use
· Reactive (for mobile especially)
Obviously, You can not just think ONLY on your readers!
In addition you to Consider yourself.
If You're Trying to turn your blog into a fulltime organization, you also need a motif that supports you, something that is simple to install, and that you are able to customize to your specific requirements.
You will find Free WordPress themes and premium WordPress themes. While you are able to find beautiful absolutely free themes, they might not be portable responsive and may not be updated as frequently as needed to maintain a beautiful and functional website from the ever-changing online space. A premium theme normally offers you updates and customer care. Customer support is critical as if something isn't functioning correctly or you have any questions concerning your theme you'll want to have an answer. With a free motif, you may not even know who made it, let alone have a way to contact them.
Important note: you need the Genesis Framework in order to use a R316 motif. The R316 topics are built upon the Genesis Framework, like a house is built upon a base. The Genesis theme is the"parent" theme along with the R316 theme is the"kid" theme. If you feel perplexed by this advice, you might want to check to a blogging guide like Building a Framework before you get started…that source is the reason I was able to begin earning money off my blog, immediately!
Think of Restored 316 motifs as the decoration in your house. Restored 316 makes your home beautiful with its design and colors. Diy Theme
click here to get started now with Restored 316!
The Genesis Framework is the foundation of your website. As you won't find the functionality of this Genesis Framework from front end of the site it gets the back end much easier to use. The Genesis Framework is exactly what makes your site simple to customize and cellular responsive. A lot of bloggers depend on the Genesis Framework as the building blocks of the site because it is SEO friendly and easy to use.
Lots of huge bloggers utilize Restored 316 Designs themes.
I reached out Into Lauren Gaige, the owner of R316 and asked her which of her themes are the most popular (it's not Delightful Guru, boohoo.)
Their most popular topics, in order, are:
2. Refined
3. Anchored
4. Market
5. Darling & Sprinkle Guru (tie)
They Offer a quiz for those who aren't sure what theme would be right for you!
This is their New number three motif that is fast rising to the top of the ranks, Anchored.
*Note: when I had ONE complaint regarding my Delightful Pro theme, it'd be that it doesn't have a tacky announcement bar using a button link on top. I NOW know that these kinds of pubs with buttons directly convert more email subscriptions. (FYI, do not get hung up on the bar too much…there are plugins that can do this, or you might also have one custom .)
If you choose a Glimpse around my blog, you will discover that everything is quite harmonious.
In the Social networking buttons at the top, right down to the colour of my links, everything is constant.
Here are a Few of the words which my readers have used to explain what They enjoy about my blog:
· Intelligent
· Clean
· Gorgeous
· Rich
· Simple to Use
· Organized
Which is Literally everything that I wished to exude when I was nominated for my own website!
That means That your blog will look fantastic regardless of who's seeing it on what device.
It doesn't Matter if it's Joe Schmoe driving the train while studying on his iPhone or even Grandma Lois peering at it on her desktop, surrounded by cats.
Your theme Will match itself to each screen automatically, be it desktop computer, tabletcomputer, or mobile.
I had a woman Complaining to me on Facebook another day that she spent three hours on her blog — just to realize that she'd bought a non-mobile responsive motif and had to start over from scratch!
Do not be that girl. Diy Theme
RESTORED 316 THEMES ARE Simple to NAVIGATE
No matter What page you land on, it's not hard to navigate to my own homepage or anyplace else on my website. My theme has menus, secondary menus, a class indicator, a topical search index, and monthly archives!
All Restored 316 themes also arrive with a search box that enables readers to run a search in your blog using key words. This is useful if someone remembers they watched something on your site, but are having a tough time locating it.
For example, Let's say that they remembered reading my post hitting 140,000 pageviews in my eighth month blogging, but haven't visited in ages and forgot to save it.
A fast Search for"140,000″ or"eighth" is going to turn up that post!
Easy peasy Lemon squeezey.
Here is what The basic version of my site theme initially looked like. As you can see in the picture above, my blog has the same design — I simply changed things up a bit! (Update: I changed my theme; again below!)
I made my Logo myself in PicMonkey and customized the colours to my brand (coral, mint, green, red, and yellow).
(My theme, Delightful Pro, is actually one of the LEAST popular topics, Believe it or not (more on that in a moment ).
But if You're a blogger with a great deal of niches, such as moi, I discover that Beautiful Pro works really nicely, since you can easily fit 5-6 classes on the home page.
Like other Restored 316 topics, it includes options such as:
· Customizable Color
· Auto Installation of all necessary plugins
· Custom Groups
· WooCommerce Ready
· Above Header Ad Space
· Category Index for company
· Ability to Upload your personal logo
· Mobile Responsiveness
You can also Change up things like the ribbon, which just requires a little extra coding and work.
RESTORED 316 HAS Step-by-step INSTRUCTIONS AND SUPPORT
Directions And support are one of the primary reasons I chose to utilize Restored 316 for the WordPress theme. I am not all that technologically savvy particularly when it comes to coding. I knew I needed a business that offered exceptional customer support.
Each theme Includes a set of documents that can help you set up your theme from the box. If you want your site to appear exactly like the demo there are directions for that.
However, if You ought to produce personalized adjustments to the website the Restored 316 step by step instructions make that simple too. Lauren shares everything that can be tweaked and exactly what to do to get the look you want. Should you need to change a piece of code she even shows you exactly where to do this and what things to do. It is honestly foolproof.
If you'd Such as Restored 316 to Install and Setup your website you have that option too. It's not difficult to do yourself but in case you need this extra support the option is available. Diy Theme
There is also Added community support with the Restored 316 Community Facebook group!
While Restoredrestoring Simple to use out of this box which Is Excellent for new bloggers, the Themes also offered advanced features like advertisement space and e-mail CTA segments on the homepage. I love that Restored 316 can grow with me as a programmer. As my skills progress, I will make tweaks and upgrade my site. If I want an entirely different look I can most probably find something I love within the variety of themes Lauren provides on her site.
If you are Just not confident in your ability to prepare your blog yourself or do not have sufficient time, they even offer installation services for both new and present blogs.
The bundles Are called Sparkle and Sparkle and Shine, and they're priced at $147 and $297, respectively.

Wichita Offense Held in Check Again
August 19, 2018 - American Association (AA) - Wichita Wingnuts News Release
WICHITA, Kan. - The Wichita Wingnuts could only muster two runs for the third consecutive game, as the Chicago Dogs completed the sweep with a 4-2 win on Sunday afternoon at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium.
After Travis Banwart and Chicago starter Wes Torrez traded zeroes through the first three innings, the Dogs (37-47) struck first on a Rubi Silva RBI groundout that scored Edwin Arroyo. The Wingnuts (51-35) managed to scratch across a two-out run in the bottom of the fifth, as Leo Vargas singled home Nick Rotola to knot the game at 1-1.
Chicago responded promptly with the go-ahead run in the sixth, surging in front on Silva's sacrifice fly to center. They added another in the seventh on a Stephen Perez RBI triple, and one more in the eight on another Silva sac fly for a 4-1 lead.
Angel Reyes plated an eighth inning run for Wichita with a two-out RBI double that trimmed the deficit to 4-2.

- Luis Baz, Director ACC...
From El Salvador to Benin
An intrepid traveler who inherited his sense of adventure from his family, Luis Baz also loves to play rugby and other outdoor sports. A civil engineer from Madrid, he joined Iberinsa in 1993, the company merging with AEPO and eventually ending up as ACCIONA Engineering. After brief passage through the Madrid offices, where one job he worked on involved the replacement of steam turbine-generators at the Almaraz nuclear facility, Luis traveled abroad for 18 uninterrupted years, working on diverse projects such as the building of the Petronas Towers in Malaysia, the Fiumicino Airport expansion in Rome and a WWTP south of Milan. He then headed to El Salvador for 12 years, responsible for the launch of ACCIONA's engineering business in Latin America. Since August 2012, he is back in Madrid, leading a strategic area in ACCIONA.
Yes, and I was there 12 years. Personally speaking, it was a fantastic experience and I had no problem. My sons were born there. They are in Spain now but they still distinguish between Salvadorans and Spanish. I think it is very enriching for one's life. Countries as different as Malaysia, Italy and El Salvador also give you great flexibility and capacity to adapt.
Where I am at any moment. Is that pragmatic? I don't know. I feel that I am optimistic by nature and I'm good wherever I am. You have to take the positives and virtues of each place in all circumstances.
"We took pleasure as a family in traveling and seeing different realities"
Yes, and not only for work. My parents infused me with the joy of traveling. We took pleasure as a family in traveling and seeing different realities, developed a kind of rootlessness in the best sense of the word. I would say traveling with the family is one of my main loves in life. The last trip we did together, in the Xmas holidays, was to Benin. It was not an obvious destination, but it's a peaceful place and we wanted to give our sons the new experience of a family traveling in a continent such as Africa.
I do a lot of sport, mainly long-distance — triathlon, fell running, cycling. I sincerely believe that, of the training I have received, languages and sports have best served my development. They have been character forming.
I did when I was young. In Spain, I played between the ages of 15 and 20, and then I went back to playing at 40 in El Salvador. I was with an Argentine and two French ex-players. We founded the Salvadoran Rugby Federation from scratch. They had never seen a rugby ball in El Salvador.

Zone 7 Tour Hosted by Shasta Region
The Shasta Region held its 4th annual Zone 7 tour in Redding hosting 50 cars and 100 club members to 4 days of touring on some of the best driving roads in Northern California. The weekend started off with a meet and greet social at the headquarter hotel in Gaia, about 15 miles south of Redding where members enjoyed a casual car show and refreshments. The next few days were filled with some great road tours, socials, dinners and getting to know some of the other 100 Zone 7 members in attendance.
The tour was divided into 3 groups with dedicated leads, and sweeps. Each tour was extremely well organized and planned. Each day, the tour would begin and end at the hotel. Each group would travel different routes ranging from a mere 80 mile sprint to a more involving 250 mile jaunt through some of Northern California's best driver roads. Local highlights of the area that were visited included Weaverville, Mount Shasta, Trinity Lake, Whiskey Town Lake, and Susanville. Shasta Region chair, Allen Krohn and his crack team did a stupendous job of mapping out some great roads and organizing the dinners and lunches while on tour. With a support cast that included Wayne Martin, Shasta Region president, and Art Smithson as the tour leads the routes were scenic, challenging and challenging. I commend the members of the Shasta region who volunteered their time over the weekend to make the event so wonderful. The Gaia Hotel and staff are to also be commended for their gracious hospitality and some memorable meals. If you have not had a chance to participate this is a tour I would definitely put on your bucket list. Beware that registration fills up very fast.
Zone 7 Concours #2 Sacramento Valley Region:
On Sunday, June 9th, Sacramento Valley Region hosted Zone Concours #2 at Niello Porsche in Rocklin. The event was originally scheduled for May 19th but was rescheduled due to the weather. The weather on the 9th was glorious with clear skies and moderate temperatures. According to SVR Autocross chair, Al Price, there were a total of 27 cars registered with members from throughout Zone 7 competing. Advanced registration was used for the first time in club history and so far the response seems positive for the continued use of Eventbrite. A big thank you goes out to Niello Porsche for their generous support and helping to make this year's event a huge success.
Sequoia Region Re-Energizes its Autocross Program:
After losing their autocross site in Visalia, Sequoia Region went quiet for a few years before securing a site at the Madera Municipal Airport last year. Sequoia Region autocross chair, Larry Kirlin, held their second event of the season at the Madera County Municipal Airport where 19 drivers competed under clear skies and almost perfect temperatures. After tech inspection and a drivers meeting, the event started on time with all drivers getting 8 runs throughout the day. The course was challenging and grip was at a premium for most drivers.
Zone 7 Ax Chair, Grady Carter and I had the pleasure of having dinner with Larry and Sequoia Region President, Ed Suarez on Friday night. It provided a great opportunity to hear about the great events that the region has been scheduling. Ed told us that the club's June dinner will be in his backyard and that he is expecting 74 members to be in attendance. Now that is certainly what makes this club about its members.
Volunteers Needed:
Zone 7 is seeking volunteers to help out in the hospitality tent, membership booth and corral parking with the upcoming Rolex Monterey Motorsport Reunion August 15-18th and for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship September 13 -15th at Laguna Seca. If you would like to help out or have questions email or call me.
New Concours Chairs to Succeed D'Angelo:
Current Zone 7 Concours chair, John D'Angelo will be stepping down from his duties as our Zone Concours chair at the end of this year to spend more time with his other duties as national Registry Chair. I would like to thank John for leading the program over the last 2 years and for finding his successors. Simone Kopitzki of Redwood Region and Roy Schauben of Diablo Region will be working with John for the rest of the season learning the ins and outs of running the series in an apprentice capacity. This is great news for the program and will continue to strengthen the progress in increasing attendance and participation in the series that John has worked so hard to develop over the past year.
Looking Ahead to Events of Interest:
June 23rd, Zone 7 Concours #3, hosted by Loma Prieta Region at Porsche of Fremont. Sacramento Valley Region hosts Zone 7 Autocross #4, June 29th at San Joaquin County Fairgrounds, Stockton. July 14th, Sierra Nevada Region hosts Zone 7 Concours #4 in Reno. Porsche Parade, July 21 -27th, Boca Raton, Florida. Golden Gate Region hosts Zone 7 Concours #5 on August 4th in Redwood City. Werks Reunion, August 16th. Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, August 15 – 18th, Monterey. IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, September 13- 15th.

AUD/NZD – Headed for New Lows
For the past month, AUD/NZD gradually trended lower and we continue to look for new lows in the currency. The sharp sell-off in U.S. equities at the end of last week stripped the Australian dollar of its beginning of the week gains and left the currency in negative territory. Labor market numbers are due for release next week and the market expects a relatively robust gain of 15K new jobs on top of the 27K new jobs generated in July but according to the latest PMI readings from the Australian Industry group all three sectors – manufacturing, construction and services are deep in contraction territory having fallen by as much as -9.5 points in just one month alone. What's even more troubling is that employment sub-indexes of all three reports are well below the 50 boom/bust line suggesting that at very best the labor report next Wednesday will miss its mark, and at very worst could show a net job loss for the month. As such, we expect further losses for AUD. Meanwhile dairy prices continue to rise and the improvement in New Zealand retail sales and trade numbers suggests that next week's Q2 GDP numbers will be strong. For these reasons we could see new 2016 lows in AUD/NZD next week.
Technically, AUD/NZD resistance is at 1.04 and more significantly 1.05 but we have to turn to the monthly charts for support. There's some support at 1.03, which is near where the currency pair ends the week but the more significant support level is the March 2015 low near 1.0150Chart Of The Day

Rollins is one of those certified geniuses who didn't pan out for me when I had the time to investigate jazz, and although I hoped for belated paydirt from his first live album in years, more careful examination reveals that the straight melodies do get dull and the improvisations aren't rich enough to invite deep digging, just like all the jazz metallugists warned me.

Happy New Year my loves.
Some people talk about the dawn of a New Year as if it is going to fix something, as though the tide that is the New Year will wash over us and we'll finally start swimming in the right direction, we'll be cleansed, we'll have a new start and more importantly, we'll know what to do with it.
I don't feel any of that. The New Year brings the reminder that I am catapulting towards death. I'm just trying to make sense of the construct of time, to get a grip on reality. Why does time go faster, the older you become?
New Year's fills me with a small sense of panic (okay, most days fill me with panic) because it's a reminder that time is running out, that life is fleeting, that we won't be able to complete our goals if we don't get a move on. I need to be glued to my laptop until my book is written, I need to make sure I am protecting my soul by practicing being a nicer human being every single day.
To accomplish a death without regret is a task that we have to constantly work on, and the timer won't stop ticking.
In 2019, I want to try not to panic. I am putting simple requests into the ether. I hope to be kinder to myself, to devote more time to what is important to me, to cut down on tech use, to find some quiet in the mind, to put myself first. To remind myself that progress takes time and it isn't linear, and I may be chasing after a feeling of completeness that doesn't even exist. I just have to trust the journey and remind myself that I'm not as inadequate as I can feel, sometimes. Oh yeah and on that note, I may cut down my social media use too.
Tonight I'm spending my NYE indoors, enjoying the warmth of my friends and their cats. Living with Generalized Anxiety Disorder means always being exhausted – something I've felt guilty and lazy about for a long time. But tonight, I'm not going to push myself to stay awake to see midnight. And that's okay. My reminder to myself now and throughout 2019 will be simple: I'm not so bad. I'm doing okay.
What are your goals? I'd love to hear them in the comments, if you'd be kind enough to share!

Virginia waits out rain, outlasts Dallas Baptist, in Fort Worth
Derek Casey gave Virginia seven strong innings to help the Cavs to a 6-3 win over Dallas Baptist Saturday in the Fort Worth Regional.
Casey (5-2, 3.79 ERA) gave up three runs, all on solo homers, on six hits, striking out three without issuing a walk, in his effort.
The game, originally set to begin at 3 p.m. Central Time on Friday, was delayed more than 27 hours by rain in the Fort Worth area.
After the decision was made late Friday to hold the start of the regional to Saturday at 2 p.m. local time, more rain pushed the first pitch back to after 6 p.m. Central.
Casey put in one of his better efforts in 2017 once it finally got going. Seventy of his 99 pitches were strikes. He was lifted after surrendering a leadoff homer to Garrett Wolforth in the top of the eighth.
Alec Bettinger gave up an infield single before retiring the side in the eighth. Tommy Doyle locked down his 14th save in the ninth, which featured a Dallas Baptist hitter reaching base on a wild pitch on strike three, another wild pitch that advanced a runner into scoring position and a four-pitch walk that brought the tying run to the plate, before Doyle struck out Camden Duzenack on a 3-2 pitch to end it.
Andy Weber had three hits for Virginia (43-14), which got three runs in the third – on an RBI single by Ernie Clement and RBI groundouts by Jake McCarthy and Adam Haseley – and another three-spot in the fifth, with a Clement sac fly and a two-run double by Robbie Coman.
UVA will face the winner of Saturday's nightcap between host TCU and Central Connecticut State on Sunday.

Adding a Little Sweetness to the Mix
Leah Kodner, Business Librarian from the James J. Hill Center interviews 1 Million Cup presenters each month for the Startup Showcase feature in the Pioneer Press. Recently she connected with presenter Scott Dillon. See interview as seen in the Pioneer Press Startup Showcase on September 23, 2017.
TripAdvisor's 2014 "TripIndex Cities" puts Minneapolis as the ninth most inexpensive city in the United States to have a night on the town. However, the average cost of two cocktails is still listed at $20. While not prohibitively expensive, $10 cocktails are not a thing that many people can afford to consume on a regular basis.
Scott Dillon was interesting in saving money by making his own cocktails, so he took a cocktail class and learned about shrubs. Shrubs are drink mixers made from apple cider vinegar, fresh fruit, and cane sugar. He was hooked and began making his own shrubs, and The Twisted Shrub was born.
Name: Scott Dillon
Age: 43
City you live in: Edina
City of birth: Richmond, Va.
High school attended: Midlothian High School, Midlothian, Va.
Colleges attended: University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Va.
Name of company: The Twisted Shrub
Business Start Date: October 2015
Number of Employees: 1, soon to be 5
Number of Customers: 40 retail stores in the Twin Cities area, plus Amazon Prime
Q. What led to this point?
A. I spent 19 years in sales at General Mills before being let go in the downsizing efforts in 2014. So, with the support of my wife and family, I had the amazing opportunity to have a harmless mid-life crisis before deciding what to do with the rest of my career.
So I dabbled in many different hobbies (took magic lessons from a local magician, ushered for the Twins, passed Level 1 of the Master Sommelier certification process, to name a few) while trying to decide what to do next. One of my goals was to make better cocktails at home. I've grown tired of paying $12-$15 for high-end cocktails at bars so we signed up for a cocktail class at Parlour Bar in Minneapolis to learn about how to make better drinks. It was at this class where I first heard of shrubs.
I fell in love on the spot and decided I would never work for a company again. I was going to figure out how to start my own food company. Long story short, we launched The Twisted Shrub at the Linden Hills Farmers Market just 118 days after that fateful cocktail class. We are now on Amazon Prime and in 40+ retail stores across the Twin Cities with plans to accelerate in a significant way over the next six months and beyond.
Q. What is your business?
A. The Twisted Shrub specializes in the hand-crafted production of shrubs, also known as drinking vinegars. Shrubs have been around for centuries as a method to preserve fruit using vinegar and sugar. In the 1700s, the Colonials made shrubs from leftover fruit at the end of the harvest. They used the shrubs to flavor drinks in the winter months for sustenance and to provide people with necessary vitamins and nutrients until the following spring growing season.
We use just three simple, all-natural ingredients to make our shrubs: apple cider vinegar, fresh fruit, and 100 percent cane sugar. That's it. We take our time, too: every batch of The Twisted Shrub takes two days to craft. Shrubs are drink mixers that create intensely complex, delicious, zing-filled cocktails and sodas without any muddling or infusion. For cocktails, simply add equal parts shrub, spirit, and soda water. For sodas, add three parts sparkling water to 1 part shrub for a refreshing, non-alcoholic quencher.
Q. Where do you go for help when you need it?
A. The Twin Cities is chock full of amazing resources for startups, especially in food and beverage. Notably, AURI (Agricultural Utilization Research Institute) and GrowNorthMN have both been instrumental in helping us understand the resources available and steps to take in order to take an idea and make it into a business.
Q. What is the origin of the business?
A. Simply put, I wanted to make better, more interesting drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) in the comforts of my own home. Shrubs empower you to do that in just seconds.
Q. What problems does your business solve?
A. The Twisted Shrub provides an easy, fuss-free way to craft exceptionally delicious, complex, zing-filled, better-for-you cocktails and sodas at home at a fraction of the cost….READ FULL ARTICLE

I know I shouldn't start off on such a negative note but it is what it is. The plan was to reach Lodi gardens on Saturday morning at 5-5.30 am and run loops around and inside for 27 km. S was planning to run as well and we had decided to meet up for b'fast. It rained all night on Friday and on Saturday morning. So I skipped the run. Sure, it was nice and sunny at 7 am and I could have atleast done the 13 km run but I was enjoying a relaxed morning in bed for a change. So, I headed to Lodi Gardens yesterday morning and started running at 6 am. I would have finished the 27 km between 9.30 and 10 am. I parked my car and started running on the ADHM route. The sign boards took me to India Gate where I have always wanted to run. I am not a patriotic person because I don't believe in boundaries. Who is man to divide this planet into pieces and make so many rules about moving between continents/countries? But there are some moments when my heart swells with pride, when I can "feel" the love for this country. Standing at India Gate gave me goosebumps.
There were many runners, cyclists, people playing cricket or football in the gardens around. Why haven't I gone there before? It is barely a few km from Lodi Gardens.
I was fine till 15 km even though the tee I was wearing was all wrong and it was very hot. And then I ran out of water. I went to the vendor outside Lodi gardens, bought a bottle of chilled water, filled my 500 ml bottle with water, left the half empty chilled bottle at the vendor and told him I will pick it up later. There was also a coconut water vendor. Who says you need a hydration car with a driver, food and water following you when you train for a full marathon? There are middle class ways of training.
I started doing loops inside Lodi gardens but was thoroughly bored by 9 am. At 21 km, I decided to stop. I have a timed half marathon- Dwarka half marathon next Sunday and the plan includes taper runs this week. I don't HAVE to run 27 km or even 21 km but I wanted to. Oh well, a better weather and am sure it will be ok.
Training for a full marathon requires a lot of will power and adjustments. I have to sleep on time on Friday and Saturday nights. I have to wake up early. I cannot skip the long or the recovery or the tempo/interval/hill repeat runs. I have to do yoga and strength train. I have to foam roll. But it is just a matter of few months. I can go back to late night partying after 1st November.
Late night partying = watch movies at home and sleep by 11 pm instead of 10 pm right now.
My shin splits are gone and I cannot believe it. Earlier, after any strenuous run- a long run or fast run, my shins (the bone in front of or is it behind the calves) would hurt. It was so bad that I couldn't even touch them. I started foam rolling them regularly and now they are gone. Pooh… into thin air.
Ciao. I have to go for my recovery run now.

The absolute best Prime Day deals in the UK
NOTICE: Prime Day is now over. These deals are no longer live.
Welcome to day two of the WIRED Recommends guide to the best Amazon Prime Day deals. In case you missed all the hype – there were concerts – Prime Day is Amazon's annual deals event, reserved for Prime members. It ends at midnight tonight.
You'll need an Amazon Prime subscription (or access to one) to get these deals – you can click here to get one. It costs £7.99 a month or £59 a year and you can cancel at any time. Full disclosure: if you clicked on that link, we earned a small commission, and that's true for all the links on this page. You can, of course, also search for the products on Amazon yourself.
We've checked all the prices against other retailers and historical prices, plus these are all things we'd buy ourselves. A "good deal" on a rubbish product isn't a good deal.
And if you're not a fan of shopping with Amazon for whatever reason, we're also featuring deals from retailers like Currys PC World and Argos which are running discounts on tech products this week.
We'll be updating this guide throughout the two days, so check back for the latest additions and sign-up to the WIRED Recommends newsletter to get gear news, product guides and deals straight to your inbox.
The best Prime Day deals on day two
These are the absolute best Prime day deals still live on day two. The rest of this guide is organised by product type: laptops, TVs, phones and more.
Save £117 on a brilliant Panasonic travel camera, now £282
What is it? Some phones may have fancy pretend zoom modes these days, but you can't actually beat a camera with a real zoom lens and the Panasonic Lumix TZ100 shows why. A compact with a 10x zoom, it's a perfect travel camera. The larger than usual 1-inch sensor, which is much better than those found in a phone, means high-quality shots in all light and it even has a small electronic viewfinder.
How much are you saving? Over £100, which is a serious chunk of change. Most retailers have it for £399, but the Prime Day deal is £282. If you're going on holiday and want to take more than selfies and landscape shots, snag yourself one of these.
Save £117 on the Panasonic Lumix TZ100 travel camera
Save 40% on a Logitech smart universal remote, £115
What is it? The Logitech Harmony Elite smart remote is a regular Prime Day / Black Friday favourite and with good reason: it's really good. If you have lots of smart home gear and too many remotes, the Harmony Elite will control them all. At the press of a button you can dim the lights, turn on the TV and open Netflix. It works with the Amazon Fire TV, Philips Hue, Nest (to name just a few) and more or less every TV known to man.
How much are you saving? It's no stranger to sales, but this is the cheapest it's been in the last year on Amazon and a chunky 40% off the usual price. No serious smart home can live without it.
Click here to save £40% on the Logitech Harmony Elite remote
£40 off our favourite affordable smartwatch, now £111
What is it? The Ticwatch S2 is an accomplished sports-focused smartwatch and the WIRED Recommends pick for cheap smartwatch currently. It has GPS, is waterproof to 50 metres, supports 24-hour heart monitoring and runs on Wear OS by Google.
How much are you saving? It usually sells for £160 and it's £111 (£40 off) for Prime Day, which is a really good deal given it's already good value at its normal price. If you want a smartwatch but don't want to spend too much, it's our top pick.
Click here to save £40 on the Ticwatch S2
£104 off B&O Beoplay H9i wireless headphones, now £225
What is it? With good sound, lovely craftsmanship and impressive active noise cancelling, one of the only points of fault reviewers have found with Bang & Olufsen's Beoplay H9is is their high price. Which makes this Prime Day discount particularly satisfying as they're now in reach as a tech splurge for the summer rather than a bank balance disintegrating purchase.
How much are you saving? The H9is were recently selling on Amazon and elsewhere for around £330 on an original RRP of £450. So another £100 or so off puts them in entirely different territory if you're looking for a pair of stylish headphones.
Click here to save £104 on B&O Beoplay H9i headphones
£113 off the Samsung Galaxy A8, now £225
What is it? The Samsung Galaxy A8 is an affordable but well-designed mid-range phone. For the money you get a big screen, an incredibly slim design, two front-facing cameras and 32GB of storage. It's no Galaxy S10 sure but as a capable phone, you could do a lot worse.
How much are you saving? Compared to the £338 RRP, £225 seems like a bargain and it is, though Amazon is far from alone – for instance, Argos is selling the Galaxy A8 for a similar price (£230) right now.
Click here to save £113 on the Samsung Galaxy A8
Save £400 on 65-inch Sony 4K TV, now £799
What is it? This is a 2019 model Sony 4K TV which supports HDR as well. It has Freeview Play, which has all the major catch-up services and three HDMI ports – one fewer than we'd like, but at this price it's hard to complain.
How much are you saving? Assuming you need a new TV, it's a serious £300 off the usual price and the cheapest we've seen this model. Very dropped its price to £899 to match this deal, so it looks like Amazon dropped it a further £100 to £799 to sweeten it. There's a good deal on the 49-inch version of this TV for just £500, too.
Click here to save £400 on the Sony Bravia KD65XG70
Save £70 on the Huawei MateBook 13
What is it? Straight from our guide to the best laptops comes the Huawei MateBook 13, a slim and light laptop to rival any MacBook. It weighs just 1.1kg and lasts 10 hours. The 13-inch screen has an ultra-slim bezel and retina-grade resolution.
How much are you saving? It typically sells for £749, which is already a good price for this laptop. During Prime Day, it's at £679 – £70 off. It's a nice saving overall on a laptop we'd happily pay more for.
Click here to save £70 on the Huawei MateBook 13
£45 off Jabra Elite wireless earbuds, now £105
What is it? The Jabra Elite 65ts are our favourite wireless earbuds, rated higher than the AirPods. They're smart and discreet, sound great and have all the features you could possibly want, including working with Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri. They last five hours, but the provided charging case adds a further 15 hours, so you should get a full week from them at the gym or out and about.
How much are you saving? Really good wireless earbuds rarely come cheap, so getting this pair for around £100 is a great deal.
Click here to save £45 on the Jabra Elite 65t wireless earbuds
Save £190 off an excellent Asus Zenbook laptop, now £599
What is it? The Asus ZenBook range has always been a solid choice for anyone who needs a thin and light Windows laptop. This is the Zenbook Slim, a 13-inch laptop that's less than 13mm thick and weighs a paltry 1kg. It comes with a Full HD screen, a 256GB SSD and 8GB of memory. Being thin and light it won't be any good for games, but it's fine for day-to-day work and looks amazing.
How much are you saving? This is a genuinely premium laptop at a mid-range price of just £599, down from the usual £799. That's a whopping £190 saving and it's never been cheaper than this. It's a great deal.
Click here to save £190 on the Asus ZenBook Slim
£60 off UE Megablast, now £99
What is it? The Ultimate Ears range of speakers are consistently excellent – three of them appear in our best Bluetooth speaker guide and the Megablast is among them. This waterproof 360-degree speaker will last 12 hours, sounds great and supports Alexa.
How much are you saving? Not quite as much as Amazon suggests – it says this is a huge £170 saving, but it's more like £60. That's still a great deal for an excellent speaker, though, and it's perfect if you're jetting off to somewhere sunny.

£54 off the Beats Solo3 Wireless headphones, now £143
What is it? Audiophiles might turn their noses up, but the Beats Solo3s are a solid pair of wireless headphones and they're sold in a huge range of colours and styles. Perfect iPhone integration makes them easy to pair and few headphones can match their 40 hours of battery life.
How much are you saving? This is the lowest price ever for these headphones on Amazon and they're rarely seen at much less than £200. Around 33% off a decent pair of wireless headphones is a winner for us.

Also consider
Get £88 off the UE Megaboom Lite, now £79: Another great deal on a UE speaker. The Lite is a bit smaller and lacks Alexa support, but it's still an ace little speaker that's waterproof to boot.

Get £25 off a Sonos Play:1, now £124: Not a huge amount of money off the regular £149 price, sure, but handy if you're in the market for a couple of budget Sonos speakers, before the even cheaper Symfonisk speaker with Ikea lands.
£49 off the Bang & Olufsen Beolit 17, now £299: A deep cut from our guide to the best Bluetooth speakers guide, it's our recommendation if you want a 70W speaker that goes really loud. The sound is articulate, it looks the part and it has a 24 hour battery life.

£70 off an Acer Chromebook 14: This nifty Acer is currently our best budget Chromebook pick and Amazon are selling the 'lite' model, with an HD screen and 2GB of RAM, for just £154, which is better than the £180 over on Currys over the weekend. It's not for serious work or gaming, then, but will do just fine if you're mostly interested in a cheap, throwaround machine for web browsing and document editing.
£129 off Huawei MateBook laptop, now £399: This is a great deal on a tidy budget laptop. You get a huge 256GB SSD for storage, a decent 15-inch 1080p screen, 8GB of memory and a capable Intel Core i3 processor, all of which will tackle day-to-day computing just fine.

Smartphone and phone accessory Prime Day deals
This year, Amazon has gone all in on smartphone deals, probably on account of disappointing phone sales all round. So if you want to buy a phone outright, it's worth perusing the discounts on iPhones, Samsungs, OnePlus phones and even budget Motorolas. Read our best smartphones guide for reviews and recommendations.

£120 off the OnePlus 6, now £399
What is it? Instead of going for a 2019 mid-range phone, you might want to go back to last year's excellent OnePlus 6. With the OnePlus 7 (and 6T) now out, you'd expect it to be considerably cheaper and £399 is a good buy for a popular Android phone with a 6.3-inch display, decent 20MP dual camera and 128GB of storage. It's fast in use with good battery life too.
How much are you saving? That depends. Amazon has had the OnePlus 6 listed at £520 for the past few months with the new OnePlus 7 at £550. You can now find it as low as £300 on eBay, but it's not the easiest to come by these days.

£40 off the Nokia 5.1, now £90: The Nokia 5.1 is one of the best budget phones you can buy for casual users. It's easy to hold, particularly for people with smaller hands, with a sleek design, a 16MP rear camera and 8MP front facer. It's down from £130 to £90 for Prime Day.
£40 off Motorola Moto G7, now £180: Our top-rated budget phone, the Moto G7, is down 18% from £220 and £180 and well worth buying. It has a high quality glass and metal build, crisp 6-inch display and easy to live with software.
£120 off Samsung Galaxy Note 9, now £529: The Note 10 is due out at the start of August so the Note 9's price was goin' down regardless. But £529 for a 128GB model is cheaper than it's selling elsewhere by at least £80.
Get an Anker PowerCore 26800 portable charger for £34: A power bank is a good thing to pick up in these types of sales. Anker's offer good bang for buck anyway and this massive 26800mAh one, with three USB ports, is down from £50 to £34.
Fitness and smartwatch Prime Day deals
There's some particularly good deals on GPS running watches this week but have a look at the fitness tracker and smartwatch discounts too.

£65 off the Huawei Watch GT, now £135
What is it? The Huawei Watch GT could best be described as a fitness tracker disguised as a smartwatch. With an impressive two-week battery life, it ticks the design and fitness boxes but if you're more interested in watch faces, downloading apps or replying to messages, look elsewhere.
How much are you saving? We've previously seen this watch on sale at around £180 but Amazon is offering more than 30 per cent from the original price of £200. That means £135 is a pretty good deal on a neat fitness watch hybrid.

£36 off the (already cheap) Huawei Watch 2, now £133
What is it? The Huawei Watch 2 has been around for a while and is now very good value for money. It's a feature-packed, workmanlike Wear OS smartwatch which has built-in GPS, heart rate monitoring and NFC for Google Pay payments. The design might not be particularly inspired, but the fitness tracking features make up for it. This is the model without 4G.
How much are you saving? It's just £36 off for Prime Day here but considering the Huawei Watch 2 was already cheap, the discount makes it seriously affordable.

Get an Eve Sleep double mattress for £305
What is it? Joining Simba and co. on the mattress price slashing this week is Eve with its very well-reviewed single, double and king mattresses. This £305 double is a 135 x 190cm, three-layer memory foam mattress that's one of those vacuum packed into a box jobs. Eve says it has a 'medium-firm feel'.
How much are you saving? Amazon is saying this is a big £254 discount but in reality it's more like £65 as Amazon has recently been selling the Eve double mattress for £370.

What is it? A well-reviewed, connected robot vac, the Roomba 960 is reliable, capable at cleaning both carpets and hardwood floors and hooks up to both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice controls and smart home scenes. It might not empty its own bin like the top of the line Roomba i7+ but for Prime Day at least, it's much less than half the price of that model. An auto adjusting cleaning head and pet hair collecting rubber brushes complete the setup.
How much are you saving? This high-end robot vac has been discounted by Amazon before – back in November 2018 – but it is currently selling at other retailers for £799.

£280 off the Neato Robotics D450, now £300: Down from Amazon's price of £580, though it was down below £400 as recently as June, this pet edition of Neato's robot vac is £300 for Prime Day. It has two extra fluff and fur filters and Alexa compatibility.
TV and home cinema Prime Day deals
You need to be careful when looking for TV deals, as often the best-looking discounts are on poor quality models.

£515 off Philips 65-inch 4K HDR TV, now £785

We can take or leave Ambilight, Philips' immersive, ambient lighting tech that projects light on your wall corresponding to what's on-screen.
How much are you saving? This is a huge saving of over £500, but this isn't the first time it's been this cheap – Amazon sold this TV at the same price during its Spring Sale earlier this year. It's still a great price, though. Think of it as like those pricey Pizza Express pizzas – only worth it when they're two-for-one. If this is too big, Amazon has the 55-inch version for £280 off and the 43-inch model with a £205 saving.

Shamanic Drum Making Workshop – Iceland
July 13, 2019 @ 10:30 am - July 14, 2019 @ 5:30 pm
Nina Wolf Feather Björg welcomes Daithi Dubh, Conscious Dreamer for this 2 day workshop that will give you a hands-on experience in making your own tribal drum.
At the end of it all you will take away your own specialized, designed, and birthed drum ready for use. The knowledge you will gain in drum making as well as some Shamanic practice while spending 2 days with Daithi Dubh is priceless. Daithi has recently relocated to the USA so this may be your only opportunity this year to attend one of his workshops here in Iceland.
Workshop Specifics:
Journey to gather your intention for your drum, Learn about what it takes to start a drum from 'scratch'. Choose a section of the hide you wish to use for your drum, cut it along with the lacing and ready it for soaking, Make your own beater, *Bring a special piece of wood (min. 1-1/2″ thick and 12″ long), learn how to lathe it, stitch the beater head leather, stuff it and decorate it, Prepare your rim with special engraving, your name, date, or symbols that mean something to the power of your drum, Stretch the soaked hide over the wooden drum rim and bind it with the hide lacing. This sounds much easier then it is, but there is a process to do it right and Daithi will guide you through that, Learn how best to care for your drum to keep it in the best condition and vibration.
Space is limited.
Reserve your space for the 2 day event with a non-refundable deposit of €75 no later than June 1st 2019. This amount may be forwarded to another workshop event, should an emergency arise and you are unable to attend.
Total cost for the event will depend greatly on the particulars of the drum you wish to create. All available skins are from wild animals with healthy organic lives, which gives their hides great variability for vibration and sound. The spirit of the animal lived in its true environment, not farmed, so the life lives magically in the hide. It continues to live and be honored in the drums made from their essence.
Here are the examples and corresponding cost that you can choose from:
16″ Ash or Oak rim
* Red Deer €275
* Reindeer €275

Restoring the Family
"And when these things have come upon you, the blessings and the curses which I have set before you, and you call them to mind…then the Lord your God shall restore…" Deuteronomy 30:1-3
A family is an outward and visible expression of God's blessings that we can see. The life of a new born baby that comes from the marriage covenant of a man and woman is a wonderful example of a blessing from God. Marriage is a covenant between God and a man and a woman. God honors marriage, and He blesses it with all spiritual blessings. But, as we look around our community and churches we can see many families that are not experiencing blessings.
What is a curse? I believe a curse is something that is affecting you that is not due to your own wrongdoing. This would be the case when children grow up in a home where there is abuse and divorce. The children are innocent and suffer as they watch the war rage between the two people that said they would love each another for the rest of their life, but don't show it. The children become innocent casualties of their parent's lack of love.
One day I asked the Lord, "Will this war between my parents? The answer I received was, "Yes, I will restore all the years you have lost." I had lost many years of my life because I felt rejection instead of love from my parents. Then my own family began experiencing many problems similar to what I had lived in as a child. As I read through Deuteronomy 28:15-44, I could see we were under the affects of the curse that follows people who have divorced parents.
