TECAID's External Evaluator, the University of Washington Center for Research & Evaluation for STEM Equity (UW CERSE), undertook ongoing evaluation of the TECAID project using quantitative and qualitative survey analysis, interviews and focus groups, and observation of TECAID activities.
TECAID Evaluation Outcomes Executive Summary (Years 1-3) Read more….
At the beginning of the project, the TECAID PI Team and CERSE articulated four areas of expected outcomes: Individual, Team, Department, and Broader Community. These four areas informed CERSE's evaluation questions.
CERSE conducted data collection for TECAID from 2014 to 2017, as shown below. Please note, the evaluation timeline here does not include observation of Virtual Learning Community meetings; those meetings occurred on a monthly basis.
Longitudinal Surveys (pre, during, and post design) were used to assess individual, departmental, and team changes in readiness, awareness, and actions taken to impact mechanical engineering department cultures in the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Department Chair Interviews were conducted in Year 1 of the TECAID project. These interviews enabled the evaluators to gather baseline qualitative data on the diversity and climate in each participating TECAID department to more fully assess the complex nature of departmental transformation.
TECAID Team Focus Groups were conducted after Workshop 4 to gain more understanding about how the TECAID experience impacted participants as individuals, teams, and departments.
Observation of TECAID Workshops 1, 2, 3, and 4 provided additional formative feedback to TECAID leaders. This process was guided by an observation protocol that highlighted active engagement of participants, perceived usefulness of knowledge, and skills learned.
Workshop Surveys 1, 2, 3, and 4 were fielded and analyzed. The survey results and reports from each workshop enabled the TECAID project team members to better understand each workshop's impact and helped improve the project overall.
Observation of Monthly Virtual Learning Community calls offered insight on individual, department level, and broader awareness building—as well as inter-team learning dynamics.
Consulting about the TECAID Model took place in early 2017, after the TECAID workshops were completed. CERSE shared insights from TECAID's formative and summative survey outcomes to help guide the formation of the TECAID Model for Preparing Engineering Faculty to Lead Department Change in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Team Accomplishment Summaries were created to document TECAID team progress, and analyze similarities and differences across projects.
A Summative Report of the impacts of the TECAID project on individuals, teams, and broader community levels will be compiled by December, 2017.

R obert (Bob) E. Golden, 73, of New Bern, North Carolina, passed away at home on Thursday, Nov. 29, 2018. Bob loved his family, his friends, his community and his country. He was active in Rotary (twice a Paul Harris Fellow), his church, Christ Episcopal and in environmental organizations including the Sierra Club and Carolina Nature Conservancy. As a retired English professor, it was only natural that he participated in Carteret Writers Group, Nexus Poets and he led a writing group at New Bern Public Library. He volunteered at RCS and acted as mentor through other religious groups.
Having been a volunteer firefighter in Hebron, New York, he felt comfortable being a volunteer at the New Bern Firemen's Museum. Bob volunteered to inform voters of current issues and to vote for their convictions. He was always interested in exercise, and was an active member of the local walking group Hooked on Walking, leading some walks and helping with online communication.
Even with all those commitments he found time to take his dog for walks, visit local sites of interest with his wife, visit relatives in Raleigh, North Carolina, and his son in Carrboro, North Carolina. He kept in touch with old friends and visited them when he could. He went to meetings, rallies, poetry readings and even went to collect trash on the beach with the Sierra Club.
Bob was proud of his career as an academic and an administrator. He received his BA in History at the University of Michigan with High Honors (Phi Beta Kappa), and his MA and Ph.D. in English and American Literature both at the University of Rochester. Ever Caring. Ever Learning. Ever Teaching.
Bob retired as an English Professor at Plattsburgh Branch Campus at SUNY Adirondack. At the same time, he was Dean and Assistant to the President also at SUNY Adirondack. At the pinnacle of his profession, he was Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at SUNY Plattsburgh. During his accomplished career, he was Vice President for Academic Affairs at Keene State College, Dean of the College of Arts and Science at Shippensburg University in Shippensburg PA and he went from Assistant to Associate to full Professor in the Language, Literature and Communication Division at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
Publications include poetry and books and articles on effective writing, American literature, higher education administration and micromanagement. His most recent article "Northern Twilight: SUNY and the Decline of the Public Comprehensive College," Thought and Action, Fall 2013, 45-56, won a Democracy in Higher Education prize from the National Education Association.
Bob is predeceased by his parents, Robert and Marian Golden, and two brothers, Michael and Charles Golden.
Bob is survived by his wife Linda Golden, of New Bern, NC, a son Matthew Golden of Carrboro, North Carolina, two stepchildren, Tobyn Kirkpatrick of Oxford, Wisconsin, and Beth Kirkpatrick of Keene, New Hampshire, three grandchildren, Taylor, Sophia and Christopher, two sisters, Mary Golden and Maureen Golden and one brother, John Golden.
A Memorial Service will be held Saturday, Dec. 8, 2018 at 10 a.m. at Christ Episcopal Church in New Bern, North Carolina. Burial will be at New Skete Monastery in Cambridge, New York, at a later date.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Craven County Hospice, 2818 Neuse Blvd, New Bern, NC 28562 or the charity of your choice.
Online condolences can be made to the family on our website. www.cottenfhc.com.

June 22, 2017 John No Comments on How To Improve Conversion Rates through Call-to-Action
How To Improve Conversion Rates through Call-to-Action
With technology shifting to a new level of providing service, brands are now exploring how to innovate their content marketing in achieving direct results. Most users connect to a certain digital product if it provides satisfaction to their interests and ensure that they keep coming back. One of the primary goals of a business's website is to have web followers and make their product or service closer to other prospecting consumers. Merging the goals of both your audience and business can be a challenge.
To ensure a more engaging and user-friendly website that helps increase traffic and conversion, your web content needs to incorporate a "call-to-action" (CTA). Call-to-action is a term used in the marketing and advertising industries that prompts users to have a direct and immediate response. This could be one of the main elements of a successful web design.
A call-to-action encourages a user to have a direct action to your brand in order to generate leads. Whether in landing pages or infographics, the CTA should motivate users to actually do what you have asked them to do, whether to contact you, fill out a form, or go to another page, to name a few.
A CTA is usually composed of a phrase scaling between two and five words. Words in their imperative form are often used in this type of marketing strategy, so as to actively command the user to take action. CTAs are flexible, whether it is used for e-commerce stores, landing pages, or just a simple option.
And to draw more attention, businesses go beyond effort in strategically designing web pages to include CTA — and where to put it. From the different spectrum of colors and text, businesses are including animation and videos to their web design. This aims to not only grab the attention of their audience but also to motivate them to do the action being requested.
Certainly, CTA works effectively if the text and other visual elements work hand in hand. A creative application of CTA can be a fun user experience. In the example below, the CTA "know us better" on the MicroCreatives website encourages viewers to click the button to learn more about our creatives team. The copy and the staff photo as a background make it clear what the action will yield. The colors used and the use of whitespace make the message legible and easy to navigate.
When adding CTAs to your website, keep these things in mind:
Make it catchy
It may seem very gimmicky, but CTAs should be seen as a form to express what your business is and what it is about. Exerting efforts that will catch your audience's attention and will showcase your brand and identity are the best ways to let your creativity flow.
Keep it short and informative
You should remember that CTA is used to guide users. So, keeping it concise and direct to the point is important. Using short, persuasive text is key. But remember: it shouldn't be misleading; it should give your audience a sense of what they need, what you can offer, and/or what they'll be getting.
Use verbs in the imperative form
Using words in their imperative form should help encourage your audience to make a good decision. A crucial construction is essential in making a compelling CTA. You don't want to force your audience or appear very pushy to them.
Let it be engaging
People eat with their eyes first, and there is nothing appealing about a dull and boring design. And for sure no one will be motivated to respond to a brand that doesn't give any attention to how it is represented. The design and the content should work in cohesion in stimulating a response to their users.
Make it noticeable
Last but not the least, pay attention to where you put your CTA. Strategic placement makes a difference. Is it easily located, noticeable? Does it obstruct other content? Does it create urgency? Sparks interest? These are important questions that you must consider when creating your CTA.
Creative agencies like MicroCreatives can help you with incorporating CTAs into your content that can help your business achieve and improve user interaction. With our team of copywriters, animators, graphic designers, and web developers, we are sure to help your business with creative matters. Contact us to learn more how we can help.

Torrence, Beckman, Morgan and Krawiec race to winner's circle at Denver
Steve Torrence powered his dragster to the winner's circle with a 3.925-second performance at 319.37 mph.
Morrison, Colo. – Steve Torrence raced to his first Top Fuel victory in over two years Sunday at the Mopar Mile-High NHRA Nationals at Bandimere Speedway.
Jack Beckman (Funny Car), Larry Morgan (Pro Stock) and Eddie Krawiec (Pro Stock Motorcycle) were also victorious at the 14th of 24 events of the 2015 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season and first of the NHRA Western Swing.
Top Fuel
Torrence powered his Capco Racing/Torrence Motorsports dragster to the winner's circle with a 3.925-second performance at 319.37 mph to earn his fifth career victory, first at Denver and first since Bristol 2013. Torrence, who defeated Tony Schumacher's 3.940 at 305.08 in his U.S. Army dragster, earned the seventh spot in the Traxxas Nitro Shootout at Indianapolis.
"I thought I saw him ahead of me, and I said to myself, 'No, don't pull this on me,' " said Torrence, who moves to ninth in points. "I saw him out there for a little bit and then he disappeared, and I thanked the good Lord when my win light came on because we needed this win. We needed to get back into the Traxxas showdown. Tony and I are friends, but when you run a DSR car, you have to bring you're A-game. To beat him on the mountain is unbelievable. It's been way too long to get into the winner's circle. It's not representative of the team we have. I'm getting confidence in myself, and that's a good thing."
Schumacher, the current Top Fuel points leader and No. 2 qualifier, raced past Steven Chrisman, Clay Millican and Brittany Force before falling to Torrence in the finals. He holds an 85 point advantage over teammate Antron Brown.
Funny Car
Beckman powered his Infinite Hero Foundation Dodge Charger R/T Funny Car to the win for the fourth time this year with a 4.190 at 293.92, beating John Force in the final. Beckman, the 2012 world champ, has 19 career victories, putting him tenth on the all-time wins list in Funny Car. This is his third career win at Bandimere Speedway.
"(My crew chief) Jimmy Prock intimidates the other crew chiefs," said Beckman, who moves to second in Funny Car points. "He'll force them to do things they may not be comfortable with. Last year, I was 0-6 against JFR, so I figured I had paid my dues. To do it in the final round today, when they really had the better car throughout the weekend — to beat the No. 1 qualifier, the winningest driver of all time, and at the Mopar race — this is just a perfect weekend."
Force was appearing in his fourth final round appearance of the season and second against Beckman. Force, a six-time winner at Denver, entered eliminations as the No. 1 qualifier and jumped to third in the Funny Car point standings.
Pro Stock
In Pro Stock, Morgan raced to a final round holeshot victory over three-time defending winner Allen Johnson with a 6.944 at 199.02 at the controls of his FireAde Chevy Camaro. With the win, Morgan earned his 12th career victory and second of the season. The final featured an intense staging duel at the starting line, lasting one minute and 45 seconds before Johnson finally staged.
"What a wonderful race!" said Morgan, who won his first Denver event in 1990. "This was probably my best win this year. The Four-Wide (event) was cool because I got to beat three guys at one time. Coming up here and racing Allen, though, I give those guys all the respect in the world for being in the final round nine straight years. Nobody will ever do what he's done up here, and I commend him for that. Those guys are still the 'King of the Mountain.' I just got lucky enough to keep it for one race. He still owns this place."
Johnson, who was appearing in his fourth final of the season with one win, was looking for his fourth consecutive victory at Thunder Mountain.
Pro Stock Motorcycle
Krawiec raced to his 28th career victory in Pro Stock Motorcycle with a 7.239 at 185.51 holeshot final round result over Hector Arana Jr. on his Screamin' Eagle Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson. The current Pro Stock Motorcycle points leader earned his first win of the season and third at Bandimere Speedway.
"In the final, I could hear him next to me," said Krawiec, a three-time world champ. "I will say one thing; I knew I had to be about .020 on the Tree, and I was .025. I usually don't race that way. I don't usually have to push that hard, but this year I do. I really didn't want the final to be that close, but I couldn't ask for any better. It always makes the driver look good to win on a holeshot."
Recent Chicago winner Arana Jr. raced his Lucas Oil Buell past Freddie Camarena, Steve Johnson and defending world champ and 2014 event winner Andrew Hines to reach the final. Arana Jr. sits second in points, trailing Krawiec by 36.
The NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series moves to Sonoma, Calif. for the second of three stops during the NHRA Western Swing for the NHRA Sonoma Nationals, July 31-Aug. 2.

Abbey" Season 4 Premiere review by
Airs Sundays, 9:00-10:00 p.m. ET on PBS
Warning -- some spoilers!
Sunday's premiere of season four of the PBS juggernaut,
Downton Abbey, was the highest rated drama ever for the
network, which speaks to the power of white people and their
viewing habits... Picking up a bleak six months after the
saddest thing that has ever happened -- referencing
Matthew's death, duh -- not much has transpired Upstairs
since we left the Granthams. That doesn't mean the two hours
didn't entertain and offer some good old-fashioned
restrained English entertainment. After four seasons, fans
of the show know what to expect and are probably already so
in love with it that it can do no wrong -- I am writing this
recap for you. For folks who aren't fans -- you may stop reading
The episode picks up with O'Brien having left the downstairs
for the wilds of India to accompany Lady Flintshire (Lady
Rose's mother) as her new lady's maid. This set the tone for
the busy catch-up that becomes far more complicated than a
season premiere should be (especially since PBS
inconveniently omitted a "scenes from last season" at the
outset). Downton Abbey is a real time commitment, coming in
at two hours an episode, so they definitely pack a lot in.
Let's start with the upstairs. Lady Mary is obviously
mourning for Matthew and it becomes wearying watching
everyone work to protect her from the world. Branson and the
Dowager Countess (with the help of Carson) step in to
intercede with Lord Grantham to convince him to include her
in the business of the estate. There are a few gross
conversations about Mary's "rights" as the widow, and her
"capability" of
running the Abbey, but after a few pep talks, just as many
break-downs, and a mean dressing down of the lovable
Carson, Mary comes around and gets interested (maybe in more
than the business -- I'm looking at you, Branson). After a
posthumous (and admittedly emotional) letter turns up from
Matthew declaring Mary his sole heir, there is a lot of talk
about returning to the land of the living (insert "Walking
Dead" joke here). It's this letter that brings out an ugly,
proprietary side to Lord Grantham. He is hesitant to
relinquish control of the estate to Mary, and the Dowager
thinks it's because he just doesn't want to let it go; because he
likes being in control again. He can be kind of a baby about
things -- which his mother thinks as well. She threatened to
ring Nanny and have him put to bed with no supper (LOVE
Meanwhile, the wallflower Edith is far less wall and way
more flower as she travels to London more and more often to
visit with her follower (that's what Daisy calls him, anyway, but I'll call him her boyfriend). Since he is still married,
Edith feels very worldly dining in public with him and
taking the train to see him. She even admits struggling with
his invitation to stay overnight, saying, "I'm finding it
harder and harder to say no --" That vixen! She has gotten a
makeover this season as well. While Mary appears wan and pale
and dressed all in black, Edith is all Gatsbied up in her
rhinestone party dress and white satin gloves. I've always
rooted for Edith; she's had it rough over these four
seasons, so I hope she gets hers this go-around. Searching
for a solution to the marriage problem, Gregson suggests he
become a German citizen in order to get a divorce, and that
is shocking to Edith. I'm having a hard time suspending
my twenty-first-century-disbelief enough to care about this.
Apparently its a big deal -- World War I and all. She
invited him to Downton to meet the folks -- let's hope we
don't have to wait three episodes to get in on that action.
On to downstairs. The under-maids and under-butlers have a
lot happening on Valentine's Day. Who sent a card to
whom? Check yes or no -- all that. However, the big news is
Barrow's various feuds with the ladies of the downstairs.
Barrow first sets his sights on the Nanny when she scolds
him for addressing the children and then dares to give him
orders. In an attempt to do her in, he tells Lady Cora she
is neglecting the children, which is a lie (but good for
him because she is verbally abusing little Sybil, calling
her a "wicked little half-breed.") Cora overhears this as she
is following up on Barrow's accusation and fires her
immediately. She can be heard wailing down the hall as Ms.
Hughes escorts her out, unceremoniously. Barrow also has his
sights set on O'Brien's replacement, Braithwaite, but in a
different manner (probably not in the way one might think, since we know Barrow prefers gentlemen). He's a
blatant social climber and sees great potential in the new
lady's maid. Braithwaite (if you will remember) got a
little too close to Branson in season three and was sent off
with a recommendation letter that he begged Ms. Hughes to
write for her. It was that letter that convinced Lady Cora
to hire her back, and it caused quite a quandary among Carson,
Ms. Hughes and Branson (who, in Branson's defense, offered to
tell his mother-in-law the whole story ,but was discouraged
by Carson because he didn't want Lady Cora to think him
"unworthy" of the Lady Sybil -- ouch!!!). He schemes with
Braithwaite to frame Anna for ruining Lady Cora's scarf, but
his intentions are unclear. Who could hate Anna? And hasn't
Bates proved himself a formidable enemy? What are you up to, Downton Abbey?
Carson himself had his own storyline this week as well,
since a
character from his past as a stage performer made an
appearance. After Ms. Hughes digs a letter out of Carson's
trash bin (everybody is interminably nosy at Downton Abbey),
she goes to see Charley Grigg in the workhouse, where he is
in pretty poor shape (even worse than Molesley, who is the
Badnews Bear of Downton Abbey). As the wisest person in the
world, Ms. Hughes decides to pair Grigg with Lady Crawley to
help with her grief (there is a LOT of talk about grief in this
episode), and of course it does help her. We learn over an
excruciating bit of subtext and exposition that Grigg stole
a girl from Carson a hundred years ago, and Carson never
forgave him. The episode ends with a pretty badass shot of
Carson coming out of the mist, Iron Man style, and them
parting as friends. You can always rely on Downton Abbey to
neatly wrap things up for you -- at least the stuff you
don't really care about.
Finally, I would like to leave you guys with a final
request. Can someone please start making a list of the
anachronistic phrases they use in the the show, such as Lord
Grantham saying "blow a gasket" last night? Did that phrase
exist in 1922? Here's a link to an
NPR article with
a few… can you find your own? Tweet me

|Walt Disney has released the first Korean poster for the live-action remake of 1998 animation Mulan, Monday, and announced its premier in March. Courtesy of Walt Disney Korea.
By Lee Gyu-lee
Walt Disney has unveiled Korean poster art for the live-action film Mulan, Monday, and announced that the film will make its local premiere this March.
Directed by Niki Caro ― the director of "The Zookeeper's Wife" ― the action blockbuster follows the journey of a fearless young woman, Mulan, disguised as a man to become a warrior during the Northern Wei dynasty (386―534).
The animation of the first Asian Disney heroine in 1998 was a hit towards the end of a decade-long Disney Renaissance, grossing over $304 million worldwide in the box office.
Its live-action remake drew much attention from the public since the lead casting of Chinese actress Liu Yifei (Crystal Liu) who won the role by beating over 1,000 candidates in auditions in 2017. Along with Liu, actors Donnie Yen and Jet Li also took leading roles.
However, the high anticipation of Mulan fans around the world hit a setback when Liu made a remark in favor of police brutality in the Hong Kong protests in August 2019. She shared a post from the state-backed newspaper People's Daily and added "I also support the Hong Kong police," on Chinese social media Weibo.
Her comment on the political turmoil caused a huge backlash, which lead to the "#boycottmulan" movement online. People continued to show criticism even months after when the film's first trailer was released in December.
The film's U.S. premiere has been set for March 27, but its local release date has not been fixed yet.

This lemon drizzle cake is so easy to make and works every time. It's always a crowd pleaser and everytime I have made it for people - I get asked either for the recipe or to make it again.
175g butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
175g caster sugar
Pinch of salt
Finely grated zest of 2 unwaxed lemons
2 eggs
75ml milk
175g plain flour
1tsp baking powder
100g caster sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Preheat the oven to 170.C/Gas Mark 3. Butter a 900g loaf tin and line the bottom with baking paper.
Next, beat the softened butter and sugar and salt in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the lemon zest and whisk well until fully incorporated. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the milk. Sift the flour and baking powder together and gently fold into the mixture until well combined, be careful not to over-mix.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and level off the top using a knife. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, before turning out onto a wire rack. When the cake is completely cool, transfer to a serving plate and take off the baking paper that may be encased around the edge.
Make the drizzle for the cake by heating the sugar and lemon juice in a small heavy bottomed pan, stirring the sugar gently until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid becomes syrupy. Do not let the mixture boil or the sugar will crystallise.
Prick the cake all over with the skewer and then pour the syrup over the top, letting it sink into the holes, to become absorbed by the cake, and drizzle down the sides. The cake will keep in an airtight tin for 3-5 days (if you don't eat it all by the first day!)
Yummy cake!

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
First, full disclosure: this dress is final sale, at least in most sizes and colors. It also has a ton of sizes left, which may or may not mean that something is screwy with the sizing. BUT, that said: it's got great reviews, and this is a crazy sale. For regular sizes, the dress was $89.50, then marked to 34.88, and now it's an extra 40% off. (For plus sizes there are two different prices for the colors; I believe only the gray is final sale, but proceed with caution.) Some other nice things while you're looking at Loft: this ponte flare dress with pockets, this best-selling knit blazer, and this great popover. Pictured: SCALLOPED WRAP DRESS

FIRST Ever Hindu Lady Judge Appointed In Pakistan
ISLAMIST nation Pakistan has appointed the country's first ever Hindu female civil judge after she passed an examination for induction of judicial officers, the media reported on Tuesday. Suman Kumari hails from Qambar-Shahdadkot in Sindh province. She will serve in her native district, reports Dawn news. Kumari passed her LL.B. examination from Hyderabad and did her masters in law from Karachi's Szabist University. (Picture above is about a marriage in a Sindh Hindu family). The Dawan quotes Kumari saying she fears that her community would not appreciate her decision to become a lawyer, but "I am confident my family will stand by me come what may". Her father, Pawan Kumar Bodan says Suman wants to provide free legal assistance to the poor in Qambar-Shahdadkot."Suman has opted for a challenging profession, but I am sure she will go places through hard work and honesty," he said. Meanwhile, the population in Pakistan has gradually decreased due to a variety of reasons. The Hindu community now accounts for about 1.85 per cent of Pakistan's population. Ratna Bhagwandas Chawla became the first Hindu woman elected to Pakistan's Senate. Last year, Krishna Kumari Kohli, a Hindu woman, became the first non-Muslim female to win a women reserved seat in Senate of Pakistan, says IANS.However, question remains whether fundamentalist forces will allow the declining Hindus live peacefully with dignity.

This interview first appeared on Club Eleven.
We met Jean-Christophe Koffi for lunch on a cold and rainy afternoon in downtown Bethesda. He approached us with a mix of cool confidence and nostalgia as he walked through the streets that once bore witness to his high school days. With a warm smile, he removed the jet-black shades that covered his eyes and shook our hands firmly.
For Koffi, returning to Bethesda is like visiting an old battlefield from which he emerged victorious. In a town notorious for its wealth, Koffi was able to rise through the ranks of an elitist youth soccer system tailored to suburban kids and accomplish the dreams he envisioned as a child in Ivory Coast.
In our conversation with Koffi, he chronicles his journey from playing barefoot in the streets of Ivory Coast to signing for the New York Red Bulls and training alongside players like Giuseppe Rossi in the MLS. He also offers advice to young players and gives an inside look into the American youth soccer system and the daily life of an MLS player like himself. Lastly, he shares his opinion on how to improve U.S. soccer, with all eyes set on catching up to European nations.
You grew up in Ivory Coast, so at what age were you first introduced to soccer?
The first time I got introduced to soccer I was very, very young. I would say probably when I was two years old at school. In my neighborhood all the kids played, all my friends played. We had this field right in the middle of neighborhood where we would go everyday and we would just play for hours.
What was your experience like playing in your home country? Did you have a team you were a part of or was it just in the neighborhood?
No, it was just in the neighborhood. We would make teams by ourselves and play. We would play in a really small field — concrete too. Sometimes we played with no shoes, but it really didn't matter we just wanted to play.
When you were in middle school you moved to the United States. What was it like joining the youth soccer system here in the United States after not really having played for a club at all back home?
When I first got here I went to a French international school in Bethesda because I didn't really speak English at first. I went there for a year and a half and I joined the team there. That was my first real team, but it was MSI Soccer [Rec Soccer], so it was at a very low level. I had no idea what it was. I wasn't really familiar with the soccer environment here, but I just wanted to be on a team to play.
How many goals were you scoring?
Oh (laughs) I was scoring like at least five goals a game. But it was fun I'm not gonna lie — I think every part of my journey has been.
Where did you go next?
So then I switched teams to this team in Virginia. The name was TAP Barça. I played there for a year and a half. It was like a travel team basically. We traveled to the Dallas Cup, and we had a lot of tournaments everywhere. That's when DC United scouted me, during that one year and a half. They told me 'we want you on the team.' They didn't want me to try out or anything. At first my old coach didn't want me to leave, but I went to one DC United training session and the environment was very professional. It was something I had never been a part of and that excited me.
Was it easy to transition do you think?
It wasn't easy, you know, it wasn't easy. Back home I didn't play with cleats, so playing with cleats for the first time here took me at least three years to adjust to the touch. So that was a part of it, like playing with kids who were used to playing with nice cleats. But obviously I was talented enough to be a part of that team so from there I just started developing tactically.
So learning the tactical aspect of the game was important for your development.
Yeah I had never played on a serious team or been coached before I got to the United States. Like nothing tactical, just get the ball run and shoot. That transition was very important for me and I thank DC United. I give them a lot of credit because they are the ones that showcased me developed me and turned me into the player that I am today. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have gotten a full ride to UVA.
Yeah you were even ranked No. 54 prospect in the 2015 class. What was the recruitment process like exactly?
Well when I was sixteen DC United wanted to sign me. We had a talk but my dad didn't want me to sign at that age. He wanted me to go to college. Duke hit me up, UVA, Penn State, UCLA, all these schools were inviting me to come visit. And then the first school I visited was Penn State. I really liked the campus. Then, the week after that, I went to UVA and they both gave me the same offer. But UVA is a way better school in terms of academics and soccer. My parents also really liked the structure of being a student-athlete there, so that was very important for me.
Looking back do you think it helped you to go to college for those few years or would you have liked to sign as a sixteen-year-old?
Honestly, I love where I am today but I feel like I could have been way further if I signed earlier. For example, Tyler Adams on my current team, signed at sixteen years old and now he's like what? Nineteen right?
Yeah and he's going to Germany in January.
He's nineteen and if you see this guy play in training, he's in insane. I just feel like for where I'm trying to get I wish I signed early, but I'm not really too concerned about that right now.
So what would your advice be for young players who have to choose between going to college or signing early?
I think it depends on your family values and if you really think you can make it. If your parents value school then you should probably go to college, but you should also consider what is important to you. If you have the opportunity to go pro at a young age you should definitely take it because you have more time to develop, you can have a longer career, and it would be easier for you by the time you make the first team.
You had the opportunity to sign since the age of sixteen as well as throughout your time at UVA. Why did you sign now with only a year left before your graduation?
My parents are diplomats and my dad got called back to go to Africa this summer, which meant we lost diplomatic status and I had to go get a visa for school. I had already done three years at UVA so my dad really wanted me to finish that last year. But also all the players in my class went pro. For example Edward Opoku, Derrick [Etienne] — who already signed three years ago — you got Pablo Aguilar, Jeff Caldwell… at least four, five guys that were very important to the team, so I felt it was time for me to go.
What was the MLS signing process like?
I started talking to agents after the fall season last January. A lot of them contacted me and I met with a lot of them. I sat down with my parents and was like 'who do you think would be the best agent for me in the long term and where I'm trying to go.'
How did you end up deciding on an agent?
So in my case specifically, I looked at agents with a lot of contacts with MLS teams. Like I said, I needed to get a visa and eventually get a green card so getting an agent that was gonna help me contract wise and teamwise was important. We decided to go with James Grant Agency. They have a lot of contacts.
Did you only hear from the New York Red Bulls or did you hear from other teams as well?
At first I was supposed to sign with DC United because they owned my homegrown rights since I played four years in their academy. I talked to my agent and my family and thought that going to DC United wouldn't be the right fit for me in terms of the style that I play and in terms of how many midfielders there are on the team. Just me being a young player and being in an environment that would push me to get better and we didn't think that was the right for me. So we had to get my rights traded from DC United to another team. New York Red Bulls showed interest, Real Salt Lake, Montreal Impact, Minnesota United.
So why the New York Red Bulls?
New York Red Bulls was the team where I wanted to go to because they completely fit my style of play, which is a lot of transition and a lot of pressing and closing people down.
What has training with the Red Bulls been like?
The training is intense it's like 110 miles per hour every day.
Can you describe your regular day as a professional?
Everyday we have to be in the locker room by 10 a.m. so I wake up at 9:15. I get to the facility, eat breakfast, say hello to the guys, stretch a little bit. I do hot tub and bath tub before training. Training is very intense, like sometimes we make teams from the beginning of training and stay with those teams until the end of practice and keep points so everyday is competitive and everyday is a fight. Everyday you have to come ready and 100% focused. And it's also stuff off the field that you have to do to be ready for these sessions.
How have you been adjusting to this new step in your career?
Red Bulls is one of the best teams in the MLS who have an insane amount of talent. From top to bottom everyone is the best at what they do. For me it's gonna take a little bit of time to adjust because coming from the college level is not easy.
A lot of people criticize the youth soccer development system here in America, and many blame it for the United States not qualifying to the 2018 World Cup. Now that you told us about your experience as a player in this system, is there anything that you think can and should be changed?
I think the academy level is fine. We just need to take soccer more seriously at the youth level. Then, once players make that transition to the college level, it needs to be a full season instead of only fall and spring seasons. Because when we get in we only play for like what? Four months of games? And then you have a month of not really doing anything. And then after you come back for the spring you only do fitness which doesn't do as much to improve your game. Players should be playing, playing, playing. There's so many breaks while kids in Europe are always playing all year round.
Another criticism for the youth development system here is that it is a pay-to-play system. Many talented players around the country simply don't have the money to even have a shot at becoming a professional.
Yeah definitely, and no player should be paying to play. There are enough MLS teams at this point. They have enough money to get their academies going and investing in them. Kids are the future of the league basically, so you should be putting everything into developing them so that the league keeps growing.
Around the world sometimes the MLS is viewed as a 'retirement league' especially because of veteran players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wayne Rooney, Bastian Schweinsteiger and David Villa choosing to come to the league in the twilight of their careers. What do you think about this perspective on the MLS?
I don't think it's a retirement league.
You don't think it hurts the league?
I don't think it hurts the league. I think it helps the league a lot. It helps grow the sport in the United States. Even if people see it as a 'retirement league' statistically it's not really true.
How important is it to have those players as role models?
I think it's very important. It's really important to see the highest level of soccer, and being around it and being able to replicate it or work on it. For example on my team there is this player called Giuseppe Rossi. As a 31-year-old he played in La Liga for Villareal. He played against Messi, Eto'o, Iniesta, Xavi, all these guys. Played for the Italian National Team, played with Balotelli, Pirlo, all these guys. And he's just training with us right now. He's not on the team or anything but he's training with us, and he's the best player I've ever seen in my life because of the things he does. The level in Europe is just so much different, so much different.
What have you been able to learn from Rossi so far?
(Laughs) I don't think I've learned anything yet because the things he does are literally absurd. He's a different type of player. It's a different level. You just can't explain it, you just have to be in Europe and play in Europe to get to that level.
What do you think it would take for the U.S. to develop players like that?
There's too many sports in the U.S. you know. If we were anywhere else in the world the main sport would be soccer, so everybody in the country would play. In Europe they are willing to invest in their clubs and the academies which makes it so much easier. Kids start playing at a young age, but here kids play five different sports growing up. They don't focus on just soccer. I think it's gonna be hard but slowly it's gonna change. I think the World Cup coming here should be a big boost for the sport.
Finally, what are your goals for 2019?
Make my debut for the first team, come into the preseason and play well, show the coaches what I can do, and hopefully, get chances to play a lot. I wasn't able to play before I got my visa and I just got my visa, so I just wanna play. That's my goal for 2019.

"She stared at that terrible light, and—from the songs—knew it for what it was. The forms of power had been associated with a dark light, a light from the king of gods. "—Eshonai[1]
Voidlight is the visible form of Investiture similar to Stormlight, but associated with Odium.[2]
Acquisition and Properties[edit]
Little is known about how Voidlight is generated or stored. In the past, Ba-Ado-Mishram is said to have provided it.[3] In the present, where it comes from is uncertain, although it's not directly from Odium.[4] The Fused enter the Physical Realm suffused with Voidlight.[5] It's possible the Everstorm brings it to Roshar.
Voidlight takes the form of dark, nearly black vapour, glowing violet.[6] When a person is infused with it, Voidlight spreads over the surface of their skin rather than sinking in.[6] On the skin, it pulses, and when a person infused with Voidlight moves, they leave behind trails of violet light.[5][7] However, Voidlight does not leak, at least not from the Fused.[8]
Voidlight doesn't appear capable of suffusing gemstones in the Everstorm, although Voidlight-infused spheres do seem to exist.[9][1]
Historically, the Regal forms of the singers are associated with Voidlight, which is said to come from the king of gods.[1] In the present day, it's used by the Fused to access Surges, similarly to how a Surgebinder uses Stormlight. Also similarly, Voidlight provides healing to the person infused with it.[7] However, Fused do not lose Voidlight when not using it, and it can power their Surges for far longer, albeit more weakly.[8] Holding it has some sort of emotional impact, though different from Stormlight's.[10]
Several Unmade are associated with Voidlight. Bonding with Yelig-nar causes a person to grow violet crystals, including a gemheart pulsing with Voidlight.[11] The sphere containing Nergaoul glows dark purple.[12][1] Moreover, when Dalinar sees Odium's true nature, the fire it burns with has the same coloring.[13]
Larkins are capable of feeding on Voidlight, with no apparent ill effects.[14]
- The appearance of Voidlight is inspired by Stygian colors, a type of chimerical colors.[15] A chimerical color can be "perceived" when a person stares at one color until the cones in their eyes tire, then looks at another, with an afterimage causing the colors to mix into imaginary shades in the observer's brain. Stygian colors are a subset of those occurring when the second color is black.[16]
- The black sphere given to Eshonai by Gavilar may contain Voidlight.[1][17]

Posted Jun 11, 2014
Since I was in 3rd Grade in Elementary, I used to take care of baby chestnut munias that fall from their nests every summer, this helped me experience the food that they prefer, usually, they say that these bird's diet comprises of only rice, so, I fed mine cooked rice, until my 5th Grade in Elementary. That is until I got Gem, I found her along with her three siblings in their nest that seems to have fallen from the tree, all he four of them are still too young to fly, perhaps 1 week from birth. I took them inside, made them a recycled cage made by a plastic jar without a cap, and cut one side of it, so it serves as the door, at first, I fed them cooked rice, but because that we ran out of cooked rice after 1 day,( and also it is hard to feed them with rice, because it is insufficient for their demand of nutrients) I substituted it with wet bread (to be moist, easily eaten by baby munias, in my opinion) after a week, one by one, Gem's siblings started to pass away, (because my sister keeps playing with them, but I always secure Gem well) so for a few days Gem was alone with me, until we found another baby chestnut munia that was almost mauled by our dog, so In short, Gen had 2 new room mates, the first one was the one that was almost mauled by our dog, Blue. The second one was also rescued by us when a light storm hit our area. Gem, when able to fly, I let her go in the morning before I go to school, then whistled at her every afteroon, We did this for 3 weeks, until a storm started at noon that day, and raged the whole night until morning the next day. I looked for Gem for 1 week, but she was nowhere to be found. After that, I believed that Chestnut Munias are able to be domesticated

Merlin DVD Plot
Merlin is a gifted sorcerer, who must conceal his abilities because King Uther has outlawed (on pain of death) the practice of any form of magic. In spite of the royal ban, it is Merlin's destiny--as Gaius and the imprisoned dragon repeatedly assure him--to look after Arthur, protect him from harm, and make certain that he survives the sniping of his enemies to become king of Camelot someday. The job isn't always a picnic; Arthur can be a pain in the royal butt at times, and his prowess as a warrior places him in constant danger.

The biggest news overnight, and certainly far bigger than this afternoon's non-event from Janet Yellen, was the significant change in monetary policy announced by the BOJ which (belatedly) unveiled its re-revised "QQE"... this time "with Yield Curve Control" (or "QQEWYCC"), a phrase used in lieu of "Reverse Operation Twist", whereby the BOJ is hoping to steepen the yield curve and undo the damage it itseld created in January when it introduced NIRP for the first time to Japan, without doing much of anything else.
While we laid out the theoretical big picture elements of QQEWYCC both earlier, and two weeks ago, there is a small problem when one gets into the practical nuances of the proposed monetary experiment: nobody really knows how it will work, not even Goldman Sachs, whose BOJ expert Naohiko Baba admitted that he has no clue how the BOJ will actually execute its vision.
Confirming that the "JGB market has become increasingly distorted", Baba says that
"it is very unclear at this time exactly how the BOJ intends to "control" the yield curve in the future. Based only on the official statement, we think it is likely it will maintain the yield curve at more or less the current level for the time being. However, the question is how it will control the overall level and shape of the curve when financial and economic conditions change in the future. While the JGB market needs to take time to study the BOJ's intentions, with interest rate movements lessening, we think the pricing function of interest rates as a mirror reflecting real economic and financial conditions will be increasingly lost."
Ah yes, the old problem with nationalizing a market - whether it's bonds or stocks - is that it is no longer, by definition, a market but merely a policy tool which has ceased to delivers any informational value whatsoever.
And before market participants get too gloomy contemplating the existential void of participating in something that no longer exists, Goldman has some theoretical considerations on what the BOJ's announcement meant, namely that under all that unclear verbiage unveiled last night, the central bank has begun a "stealth taper." To wit:
The BOJ emphasized that it has four means of easing at its disposal going forward: (1) the negative interest rate (short-term policy interest rate) on policy-rate balances in current accounts, (2) 10-year JGB yields (long-term interest rate), (3) expansion of asset purchases, and (4) expansion of the monetary base. The BOJ will continue to apply a negative rate of 0.1% for (1), while purchasing long-term JGBs so as to maintain long-term interest rates at around zero. We think the BOJ aims to control the yield curve by controlling these two interest rate targets, together with the introduction of new market operations as a backstop when interest rates rise.[1] The BOJ decided to maintain the pace of JGB purchases at around ¥80 tn a year for the time being, but it has effectively abandoned its previous monetary base target.
Governor Kuroda of course denied this, but we think the introduction of yield curve control could be considered as paving the way for future tapering of JGB purchases. We think it is likely that by substantially changing the framework, the BOJ aims to attract the market's focus to yield curve control and slowly move toward tapering in the background. In addition to the high likelihood that it will become increasingly difficult to maintain its large-volume JGB purchase program for technical reasons, the marginal benefits from expanding JGB purchases have already diminished vs. costs involved, as we have repeatedly mentioned. However, as many market participants forecast the forex rate based on the monetary base ratio between two countries, there is an obvious large risk to reducing purchases. Accordingly, we think the BOJ has judged that it needs to divert the market's attention as early as possible in advance. As we mention later, our impression is that an exit from unprecedented easing is now much more distant. In our view, the BOJ needed to minimize market shock accompanying a shift in policy targets and also make the easing system longer-lasting and more sustainable.
On this we agree with Goldman for one simple reason: in his erudite "take" of the BOJ's announcement, Ben Bernanke (who was surely dejected that Kuroda did not take his advice to unleash helicopter money) today blogged that "it was puzzling that the BOJ retained its 80-trillion-yen quantity target for JGB purchases; one of these two targets is redundant. I presume that the BOJ was concerned that dropping the quantity target would lead market participants to infer (incorrectly) that the Bank was scaling back its program of monetary easing."
The fact that Bernanke said that it was incorrectly perceived that the BOJ is scaling back easing, is all we need to know that the BOJ is doing precisely that and by implication, that Goldman is right. In which case, watch out below, USDJPY, not to mention Nikkei, and therefore Abe approval ratings.

Up early and ready to go! Feeling great. Walked the dogs, kids off to school and packed up the car, bike, and the gear and headed to El Cajon for the Great Western Loop. All is good with Jen and E. Off we go and within 15 minutes the Achilles starts to swell, I ignore and chatter away. We begin climbing and it is progressively getting worse.....conversations with myself began to happen. 1- suck it up and ride..but what if I tear or rupture the tendon, then I am out for weeks- no Oceanside 70.3 and how bummed would I be. 2- ride for a bit and then decide. okay be honest, it hurts and there is a problem. 3- consider, actually consider turning around and going back to the car. We stop at our usual pee spot, 30 minutes in and I say it, I actually said. I have to go back. The girls stare at me, open jawed...silence. Comment, "she must be in pain." Lots of support- yes, be smart, doing the right thing, blah, blah, blah.
But I do it and sadly ride back, although in about 10 minutes I see a girl ahead and chase her down. We ride for the next 20, at a mildly uncomfortable pace. She is a Cat 2 Roadie- very cool, would be fun to ride a with her. Michelle but did not get any more info...she rides out there a lot, will have to keep an eye out for her.
Drowned my sorrows at Starbucks and went to see KP for some ART. Very swollen and he starts in on me, as a good coach should. What was I thinking......injured, would it heal in one day, no. He did change my schedule and made today a day off or a swim, but I was convinced 2 days off of riding and acupuncture and I was good to go. He asked if he needed to call and chat with John....pretty much like when the principal in school calls your parents.
I leave, feeling better and mentally worse and head to the pool. Pounded out 4500 yards and did some hard 100's. Had to burn off the power breakfast I had eaten in anticipation of a 4 hour ride.
Home to work.....not very effectively though, frustrated and cranky. Read a lot about the Achilles Tendon and then decided to make sure skiing will not aggravate it- does not look like it. Feeling better, took Zen for a 20 minute run and it felt good and then not so good. Hello, will I learn......I am trying. Did a good core workout and then onto the kids.
John extended his trip so will not be home until tomorrow night, cutting it a bit close for our trip....but he says no work on Friday. Hopefully not, we are out of there Friday at noon. Booked the Pups as the CA Bed and Biscuit, camp for dogs.
Ordered some books.....going to travel need books. Outliers: The Story of Success, Gladwell and Talent Is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else. Will see what they bring......
Read for bed and JD is still at lacrosse.....9:10- this is crazy! It is freezing outside as well- temperature dropped tonight. Speaking of weather.....hoping for a nice storm to hit Aspen on Saturday- if anyone has any pull, appreciate it and thanks!

Hyderabad's most famous symbol is the Charminar (named for char = four, minar = minarets). There are various theories as to why it was built: one theory is that it commemorated the end of plague, another states that it commemorates the beginning of the second Islamic millenium. Whatever the reason, it is now one of India's most widely-recognized landmarks. You can walk up the steps for magnificent views of the city; there are also various markets around the area selling jewellery and other handicrafts.
Hyderabad's biryanis are highly reputed as the world's best biryanis, and with good reason. Once considered to be the Nizam's (the state ruler) dish, it is now commonly available throughout Hyderabad and the rest of northern India. The biryani contains long-grained, fragrant basmati rice alongside marinated meat that has been soaked in a special spice concoction overnight. The cooking vessel is then sealed with dough and it is steamed over hot coals (known as dum). The ultimate taste of the biryani is spicy and complex, with a wealth of unusual and rich flavours.
There are plenty of places to try this traditional staple, read our guide to Hyderabad's best biryanis here.
The Golconda Fort was once the capital of the ancient Golconda kingdom between the 14th and the 16th century. Built on a 400-feet high granite hill, it is one of India's many architectural wonders. One of its unique accomplishments is the fact that a handclap below the entrance dome can be heard nearly a kilometre away at a pavilion; this acoustic marvel was used to warn the royals in advance in case of an impeding attack. A magnificent fort that possibly dates back to the 12th century, this is a must-see for anyone travelling around India.

A luxurious 18th century splendour, Chowmahalla Palace exudes finesse from its smooth white marble-tiled floors to its gleaming Belgian-crystal chandeliers. It was once the seat of the great Asaf Jahi dynasty, and the place where they entertained their royal guests. There are four garden courtyards, giving the palace its name (chow = four; mahal = palace). The halls contain various exhibits from the Nizams' life and times, including a 1911 yellow Rolls Royce.

Bidri is a unique metalwork technique which incorporates a silver inlay onto a blackened alloy of zinc and copper. The effect is striking and stunningly beautiful. It is named after its place of origin, Bidar, in the state of Karnataka, where it is still produced. It has since spread to Hyderabad, where you can also find beautiful examples of the work. The craft itself is 400 years old and the technique is thought to have originated in Persia, although the use of zinc as the primary metal is a uniquely Indian concept. Stop and buy bidriware by Charminar in Hyderabad.
One of the world's largest mosques, the Makkah Masjid (or Mecca Masjid as it is otherwise known) was completed in 1694 after 77 years in the making. The bricks of the mosque are made of soil from the holy city of Mecca, thus giving the mosque its name. The hall indoors can hold up to 10,000 people at a time. The holy Quran is inscribed into the arches of the mosque, and it additionally houses a strand of the Prophet Mohammed's hair, preserved in a room in the courtyard.

The lake of Hussain Sagar was built in 1562 across a tributary of the Musi river, and is an artificial lake that used to be Hyderabad's main water supply before two more lakes were built. An 18-meter-tall monolithic statue of Buddha stands in the middle of the lake and is lit up at night. The lake is a popular sailing area, and boats make a 30-minute journey to the statue and back.
A short walk away from Golconda Fort are the Qutub Shahi tombs. These tombs number 21 in their entirety and have almost as many mosques. Each of these edifices are mounted on cubical basis and are domed; they are ornamented with lime stucco decorations. The occupants of these tombs were rulers, physicians, courtesans, and various other privileged courtiers. The tombs are currently undergoing construction work, and the places where the restoration is complete hark back to the grandeur of the original tombs.
Opening hours: Sat – Thurs 9.30am – 5.30pm
Qutb Shahi Tombs, Hyderabad, India
Built in the early 1800s by the East India Company representative James Achilles, this stunning neo-classical mansion was designed to signify British colonial power. There's a massive ballroom, complete with large chandeliers and a balcony which allowed guests downstairs to watch. Although the building is now in complete disrepair and looks shabby, it's still worth a visit. A good read would be William Dalrymple's White Mughals, which is set in this building.
