Campus life big enough for brother and sister
Marketing major
Hellertown, Pennsylvania Students are never just a number at Messiah College . . . unless they want to be number one. Small class sizes, hospitable surroundings, and educators' unparalleled commitment to cultivating the unique gifts of each student provide a campus experience that encourages active, yet balanced, participation in all facets of student life.
Lindsey Gorkos '09 appreciates the influence "getting involved" has made on her sense of self since arriving on campus four years ago. Just two years behind big brother Matt '07, Gorkos grew accustomed to smiling politely when new teachers asked if she would be as smart, successful, and as athletically inclined as Matt.
"It was almost like living up to a legacy," says Gorkos of how Matt's reputation preceded her through high school and onto the Messiah College campus. "I knew that I had to step out from his shadow and find myself."
Gorkos, a marketing major and math minor, claims the welcoming culture and abundance of student life activities at Messiah's Grantham campus spurred her to get involved, helping to successfully carve out a place of her own. "I felt at home here ever since I stepped on campus," she said. "I've always felt as if I fit in here."
Through her years at Messiah, this go getter has staked her claim as senior class president, chair of the student alumni council (EYAS), Acclamation dance ministry member and instructor, alumni office work study, and even manager of the nationally-ranked Messiah College Falcons wrestling team—all while sustaining a respectable grade point average.
Asked whether the sibling rivalry between she and Matt has subsided now that big brother is preparing to go off to seminary, Gorkos responds, "Well, I guess we're smoothing out who we are. I feel really good about who I am, but I still crack up when I recall the time Matt took a theology class after I did and Professor Crane said to him, 'Oh, are you Lindsey's brother? You have a lot to live up to'."

Former Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh has been refused his application for Bail by a Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday.
Justice James Tsoho upheld the objection by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to the effect that Badeh's detention was on a subsisting court order.
The EFCC told that court that Badeh was initially arrested in relation to money laundering offence for allegedly diverting about N4billion while serving as the Chief of Air Staff in 2013.
It said Badeh's detention was on the strength of the order of remand by the Lagos Chief Magistrate's Court.
The commission stated that it granted Badeh administrative bail, but was on the process of perfecting the bail when it discovered the ex-CDS alleged involvement in another monumental fraud in the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA).
The EFCC said it consequently moved Badeh to Lagos for investigation into the NIMASA case, obtained an order of remand till March 23 from a Chief Magistrate's Court in Lagos.
Badeh, in his application, faulted his detention, arguing that the order for remand was wrongly obtained.
He argued that the administrative bail granted him by the EFCC was too onerous to meet.
The EFCC on Monday filed 10 counts of money laundering against Badeh and a firm, Iyalikam Nigeria Limited, accusing them of fraudulently removing N3.97bn from the account of the Nigerian Air Force in 2013.
Badeh was said to have perpetrated the fraud along with Iyalikam Nigeria Limited while he was the Chief of Air Staff.
Meanwhile, the former CDS said in a release Wednesday that he was being subjected to media trial unnecessarily.
Part of the statememt by Badeh reads: "It has been widely reported in the news that I am being investigated over the $2.1 Billion Arms deal but that is not true. I was not part of Dasuki gate.
"The claim that 5 properties were acquired for me from the $2.1billion funds is also false.
I was Chief of Air staff from Oct 2012 to January 2014 and then appointed CDS. During my time serving as the CDS, funds for weapons were directly released to the Chief of Air staff, army staff and naval staff and not to me. I had no control over the funds and yet I am being accused of embezzling weapons funds.
"The office of the CDS had no operational control of the services and had nothing to do with their spending.
"The EFCC's claim that I received $800,000 from my Director of Finance and accounts is untrue. I did not receive such money from the erstwhile DFA. If he claims to have given me money, where is the proof? Was it paid into my account? Did I sign for it?
In the case of the properties, if they claim the properties are mine and were obtained illegally through proxies then they should go to the court and get an order of forfeiture rather than trying to insist I am the owner of the properties.
"It is unfortunate that the media has unwittingly allowed itself to be used by interested parties to become judge jury and executioner in my case.
"Even when they claimed Billions were found in accounts of wives of some past Air Force officers, none was found with my family yet EFCC keeps generalizing and making it look like my family is involved too.
"It is rather unfortunate that the nation which I fought so hard within my means to defend against Boko Haram insurgents cannot guarantee my fundamental human rights.
During my time as the CDS, lives of both soldiers and civilians were lost. Territories were lost. We fought to regain our nation's territorial integrity and the insurgents pushed back.
I LOST MY PERSONAL HOUSE AND HOSPITAL IN DEFENCE OF MY FATHERLAND (A hospital which I built many years ago and was equally used in the treatment of injured soldiers). NOW I AM LOSING MY FREEDOM TO THE SAME FATHERLAND THAT I FOUGHT SO HARD TO DEFEND
"During the 2014 Boko Haram attack on my village Vimtim, it was widely reported in the media that I sent a helicopter to evacuate my parents and relatives. Which parents? I am an orphan, I lost my father in the 70's and my mother in 2013. My cousin, who lived next to me, was killed during the 2014 attack on my village. So who exactly did I evacuate? It is unfortunate that I didn't come out to clarify some of these issues when they were reported in the media.
"I was detained by The EFCC for 3 weeks and was not charged to court but was given onerous bail conditions by the Commission which I could not meet. A remand warrant was hastily obtained on the 25th February in Lagos as soon as The EFCC was served with a notice for my bail hearing in court by my lawyers. Why detain me for so long and issue such onerous bail conditions when they aren't ready to charge me to court?
"I reported to the EFCC when I was invited and would report anytime I am needed. All I ask for is to be given a fair hearing with the rule of law strictly adhered to.
"It is a media trial and I am being persecuted", he added.

The government is urging Australian taxpayers to check whether a share of $1.1 billion of unclaimed money is theirs, after returning $87 million to its rightful owners in 2016.
ASIC says more than a million records of unclaimed money from dormant bank accounts, life insurance, shares and other investments are waiting to be claimed.
"We're keen to reunite people with their money", ASIC deputy chairman Peter Kell said.
"Unclaimed money is transferred to the Commonwealth after it's been unclaimed usually for seven years. The unclaimed money managed by ASIC is always claimable by the rightful owner with no time limit on claims. In 2016, over $87 million was paid out to more than 16,000 people," Mr Kell said.
Taxpayers can use ASIC's MoneySmart website to check for lost funds.
People commonly find they have unclaimed money if they:
- Have moved house without letting the bank or the institution know;
- Have not made a transaction on their cheque or savings account for seven years;
- Stopped making payments on a life insurance policy;
- Have noticed that regular dividend or interest cheques have stopped coming; or
- Were an executor of a deceased estate.

Skills Drills The 2x2x2 Drill
Skills Drills The 2x2x2 Drill
by Dave Spaulding | June 3rd, 2015
Read more: http://www.handgunsmag.com/tactics-training/skills-drills-the-2x2x2-drill/#ixzz4yvy5A9Xn
I was first told of this drill in 1992 by a member of the U.S. Army Special Forces, which was using it to keep its troops sharp with a pistol. The 2x2x2 drill is "skill on demand"; a soldier could be confronted by a trainer at any time—walking to lunch, say—and told to shoot the drill immediately; no prior warning, just like a gunfight.
Handgun in "real world of work" carry. Duty holster, thigh/chest rig or concealed—however you carry your gun. No open speed or competition rigs.
On command, draw and fire two rounds in two seconds at 20 feet on a 3×5 card placed vertically on a target backer. If a round breaks the edge of card it is considered a hit.
The history of handgun conflict has shown the pistol must be drawn and rounds on target in two second or less if a close threat is to be stopped. The 2x2x2 builds the required kinesthetic ability to deliver the drawn pistol to where the eyes are looking with minimal motion.
Speed is a lack of unnecessary motion and not herky-jerky muscle manipulation. To successfully complete the 2x2x2, the pistol must come straight up from the holster and punch straight out to card with no "ditch digging" or "fishing reel casting." Minimal trigger action and recoil control are essential.

Transatlantic Strategy Group on the Future of U.S. Global Leadership
GMF-Paris and Chatham House launched a new joint initiative called "Transatlantic Strategy Group on the Future of U.S. Global Leadership" last September 12th, in London. This project is designed to enhance the European understanding of the future of American global leadership. It aims to assess and anticipate the impact of changes in the strategic orientations of American foreign policy on the future of European foreign policy, by convening a group of scholars and officials from the United States and Europe three times over the course of a year to discuss specific challenges and opportunities facing the transatlantic partners. Building on the assumption that a transformation is taking place, this project will analyze and evaluate how U.S. selective strategic retrenchment is changing its reliance on regional and global partners and what they, specifically in Europe, need to do to respond. Particularly in the near term while a new modus operandi is established, the various actors will in fact have to work more closely and strategically rather than less. In order for these mutual movements to take place in a coordinated and coherent fashion, it is crucial that Europe understands U.S. reasoning and actions (and vice versa).
The first roundtable, 'Responding to a Revanchist Russia', brought together a small group of experts from Europe, Russia and the United States to discuss how US policy towards Russia is changing, what this means for Europe as a whole, particularly NATO countries and thus how Europe, and the European Union, should respond. The principal points are summarized in the meeting note.

This race is sanctioned by Triathlon ACT as a member of Triathlon Australia, and is conducted in accordance with Triathlon Australia race rules, with the exception of those rules covering drafting on the bike course and the carrying of mobile phones, whihc are required on the mountain bike and cross-country run courses. Drafting is permitted in this event.
The race rules which pertain to this race are set out on the Triathlon Australia website.
There are 3 Team Divisions for each race. The Divisions are: All-Male, All-Female and Mixed.
The race is designed for teams of 2 members: one runner (who completes both run legs) and one mountain biker. Teams of 3 may enter, though they are not eligible for awards.
For all pre-entered Teams and Solo Athletes, compulsory registration will commence 60 minutes prior to the start of the race at the transition area alongside the ActewAGL sub-station at the end of Frith Rd, Acton.
If you have made any changes to the membership or composition of your team, these will need to be entered into the database at Registration. At Registration you will collect race numbers, receive information on any last-minute course alterations and meet with some of your competitors.
All competitors will be asked to sign the participant waiver before commencing the race.
Any competitor who commences a leg without first signing the participant waiver will be subject to automatic disqualification, and will be no longer deemed a participant in the event.
For safety purposes, to enable the rapid reporting of any accidents or injuries on course, athletes are required to carry a mobile phone on the mountain bike and cross-country run courses of each event. All athletes will be required to program the Race HQ phone number into their phones at Registration. Please note that mobile phones are not permitted to be used during the race as a music or communications device other than in such an emergency.
Please play your part to ensure a safe and enjoyable event for all.
The race will be attended by personnel from Sports Medicine Australia, who will be on hand to treat injuries.
The most important component of ensuring a safe event is common sense, particularly on the mountain bike course. Carefully check your brakes and tyres the day before the race. Please exercise care while negotiating all descents, especially if you are unfamiliar with the course. The time lost through sensible caution is nothing compared to the time lost through a trip to the hospital.
Every athlete must carry a reasonable supply of water and fluids during legs 2 and 3, either in a back-mounted hydration system or in drink containers held in belt-straps or clothing.
There will be an aid station at the transition point, offering water and sports drink, sun block and vaseline, as well as rudimentary bike repair equipment. Mountain bikers are advised to carry a full repair kit and 2 spare tubes.
This event takes place in environmentally sensitive areas.
We are very fortunate to be allowed to stage these races. The authorities and officers of the ACT City Ranger's Office, National Botanic Gardens and Environment ACT have been overwhelmingly cooperative and helpful.
Please be aware that these events take place in a public as well as a natural domain. We do not have exclusive use of any of these areas, all of which are used by many people on weekends.
The first run courses for the Off-Road Duathlons are on roads within the National Botanic Gardens. It is expressly forbidden to run off the roads at any stage while inside the Gardens.
The second run courses occupy tracks which are designed for walkers, not runners. We are the walkers' guests. Please give way and show courtesy to all walkers using these tracks.
All mountain bike courses are on 4WD tracks through Canberra Nature Park. Keep to the left at all times and respect other users of these tracks.
Please do not litter any where on the course. Carry your litter with you and dispose of at the transition area. Our aim is for each race to leave no footprint.
The management of the National Botanic Gardens and Canberra Nature Park reserve the right to cancel any or all of the legs through the National Botanic Gardens and Canberra Nature Park in the event of a total fire ban, extreme heat, cold or potentially dangerous weather conditions.
If any leg or legs are cancelled or amended either in the lead-up or on the day of a race, organisers will endeavour to stage an alternative leg or legs, subject to prevailing conditions. Organisers reserve the right whether directed by authorities or not, to shorten, alter or cancel any leg or legs of the race within reason, and without warning.
In the event that the race is called off completely prior to the start, the race will be postponed to a later date. Only if the race is postponed, entrants may elect to transfer their entry to the revised date or place their entry on hold. Entries 'on hold' will be valid until used once for the same event within 3 years successive to the date of the original entry.
Once the race has commenced, the race entry will be deemed to have been 'used' and is not redeemable, even if the event is called off before its scheduled finish.

The Sri Chinmoy Off-Road Duathlons have a small but loyal following – which may be just as well, for the foot trails of Black Mountain and cosy transition area would not be amenable to large crowds. Those who participate come not to be seen or for world fame, but for exactly what they get – a few hours of strenuous yet uplifting immersion in the rejuvenating embrace of Nature. It' a niche event that aspires only to be exactly what it is: an appreciation in the best way possible of the nourishing beauty and joy that is the heart of Canberra Nature Park, an integral partner of the life and training of every Canberra runner and mountain biker.
Such events really on help and support not only from organisers but also from volunteers as well as staff and officials from various agencies. Our special gratitude to Lesley Steel for helping out on the day, to Craig Johns and Emily Stacey of Triathlon ACT for all their support (look out for Craig's video on the TACT website later this week), to Technical Officials Glen Sturesteps and Katie Binstock, and to Mike Corrigan of Sports Medicine ACT, as well as to the staff of the National Botanic Gardens and the Public Land Use Team (ACT Government).
Both Long and Short course races today witnessed some superb individual and team performances. The women's course record for the Short Course race, like a proud mountain had withstood all challenges for 14 years – until this morning when Laura Darlington submitted a late entry and proceeded to devour the course in a wonderful new record time of 40:27, for 3rd place outright – though Laura couldn't catch the flying Olivia Stutchbury in the first run leg, Olivia taking out a new record for that leg of 5:42. After Laura, came Bron Ryan in 42:11 and 3rd placing Rowena Woods with 43:44.
Guy Jones was an impressive overall winner of the Short Course race in 36:41 – so fast indeed he beat one of the marshals to their position – from Steven Sibraa's 39:47, and Michael Smytheman a solid 3rd placing in 42:24. Keeping it in the family, John Smytheman meanwhile took out the Male 50 and Over main award with 46:23, adding to his burgeoning trophy collection from this event.
1st All-Female Team in the Short Course race were the "Super Skinny Prawns" in 54:47; with "Team GRR" taking 1st in the Mixed Team category in 44:30.
First-time entrant in the Long Course event, Tomas Krajca, in a barnstorming race came within a whisker – a mere 25 seconds – of the world-class course record established in 2016 by superstar Dylan Cooper, finishing in an outstanding 1:40:01. In breathless pursuit were the impressive Mark Bourne (2nd in 1:41:29) and Dave Hardwicke (3rd with 1:42:17). Just outside the podium finishers today were race stalwarts Dave Osmond (1:45:18) and Adrian Sheppard (1:45:40), who continue to race at an elite level regardless of the turning over of the seasons. A great tussle came in the Male 50-59 category, with eventual 2nd-placed finisher Patrick Kluth (2:03:25) leading for most of the race, only for the flawless finishing instincts of Martin McCready to run away with the victory in 2:03:06. In the Male 60 and Over, champion Trevor Jacobs set a new course record of 2:15:04 to remind us yet again why he is one of Canberra's all-time legends. En route to his win, Trevor also set a new age-group best time for the bike course of 1:13:13.
Katrina Cousins was the outstanding Female Long Course winner today in a fine 2:21:15; from Bianca Pietrass-Wong (2:30:16) and 3rd placed Heather Gow-Carey in 3:09:11. Sonja McKenna took out the Female 50-59 Solo category with an indomitable 2:51:45; while the sparkling Catherine Hanley went home with the Female 60 and Over award – and Course Record with her 2:46:13.
Among the Long Course Teams, the combination of "AWC 1" took out the main prize in the All-Male category in a convincing 1:54:05, while "Trailbreakers" were fastest among the Mixed Teams, finishing well in 2:03:44.
Nevertheless, it was the winning All-Female team of "Lize and Eliz" which turned the most heads with a record-shattering display to win the category – and best all the other teams of any combination – in a whirlwind new record time of 1:52:25. Along the way, Elizabeth Humphries broke her own records for the fastest split times for the 1st run leg (10:45) and 2nd run leg (35:34), though she also surrendered a record in the process – her time for fastest bike leg, which is now owned by her team mate from today, Eliza Smyth with a scintillating ride of 1:06:06.

Given the potential for freezing cold conditions in July in Canberra, today was remarkably mild and much appreciated by all participants and helpers in the 15th annual Sri Chinmoy Off-Road Duathlons. Overnight rain also softened the parched ground, making for excellent riding while freshening the forest to present a soothing welcome for all who were out and about.
Star performance of the day came from Michelle Cooper, who set a new Female course record in the Long Course race of 1:57:24, only one year after the 2 hour barrier was broken for the first time. Michelle's victory was established by her dominant new bike course record of 1:05:01. Husband Dylan Cooper also produced the second fastest time ever recorded for the Males – though his 1:40:00 didn't quite match his own record from 2 years ago.
Following Michelle were Jennifer Davis with 2:06:46 and Alice Patterson-Robert in 2:13:50 to complete the minor placings. Dylan meanwhile was shadowed through the first two legs of the race by his friend Rowan Beggs-French, who clocked a fantastic 1:41:30 of his own. David Hardwicke came in 3rd with an impressive 1:47:37. Tony Williams took out the Males 50-59 with 2:06:37; and David Alder the Males 60 and Over in 2:30:40, including bettering his own age group record for the 1st run leg with a new time of 13:02.
Dave Osborne and Elizabeth Humphries are the most-trophied athletes in the history of this event, and this year they paired up to break their own 8-year old course record for Mixed Teams. Their new mark of 1:45:43 included Elizabeth recording new fastest times for both run legs, of 10:51 and 37:29 respectively. "Susie and Claire" took out the All-Female Teams in 2:09:39; while "Fat Boy and the Chump" were victorious in the All-Male Teams with a cool 1:57:18.
David Simpfendorfer was too fast in the first two legs of the Short Course race to be challenged, winning in 36:21 from Guy Jones returning from injury with 37:52 and Steven Sibraa in 39:32; while Geoff Ives took out the Male 50 and Over with 44:08. Narelle Desmet's superior running strength enabled her to win the Female Short Course race in 44:18 from Jacqui Oberg's excellent 45:09; while Razz Morgan won the Female 50 and Over in 59:22.
Thea and Sam of "Hard to See" set a new course record for All-Female Teams in the Short Course race with their time of 39:31, including a new bike course best time of 22:17. Verona and Simon of "Mittagong ninjas" sweet all before them in the Mixed Team category to win in 44:36.
One of the risks associated with an off-road event in an urban nature park, is that course signage is sometimes removed by pranksters or walkers who would rather not share the space with such organised events. Unfortunately this proved the case today, when a section of course-marking ribbon along the Black Mountain Summit Loop was removed in the hour before the race, resulting in some disorientation at a 4-way intersection leading to a few runners taking a short-cut home on the final run. While none of the major placings were effected, we applaud in particular Aaron Royall, who upon realising his error when he crossed the finish line, immediately retraced his steps up Black Mountain to complete the full and correct course, an addition of several kilometres and a whopping hill!
2017 Jul 23rdSri Chinmoy Off-Road Duathlons, Black Mountain Reserve, Canberra, Sunday 23 July 2017Results (PDF Download)
No matter how many times we come back to the same venue and the same course, the Sri Chinmoy Off-Road Duathlons – staged, uniquely, through the National Botanic Gardens and Black Mountain Reserve – each and every year offer surprises aplenty.
Sometimes bitterly cold at the start, the first surprise of 2017 was a comparatively balmy morning under a cloudless deep (deeper than sky-blue) blue sky. Following on Canberra's driest June on record, the tracks were hard and stony, leading to a higher-than-usual incidence of flat tyres and mechanical issues on the bike leg.
Penny Slater today dismantled a 12-year-old course record in becoming the first woman to break the 2-hour mark for the Sri Chinmoy Long-Course Off-Road Duathlon. Penny's impressive 1:59:22 was built on a new course best time over the bike leg of 1:06:03. Jennifer Davis was 2nd among the Female Under 50 with 2:12:22; and Alexandra Durr 3rd in 2:21:18.
Dave Osmond has been the most regular participant in this race since its inception and always places on or about the podium, so it was especially satisfying to see his consistency rewarded today with a victory in the men's Long-Course race, in a superb 1:42:09. Adrian Sheppard, another stalwart of this event, followed Dave home in 1:46:00, from 3rd-placed Dave Hardwicke's 1:48:14.
Peter Evans blitzed the Male 50-59 field with his fine round of 2:05:33; while Peter Fogarty took out the Male 60 and Over category in 2:16:53 – and also benefitted from the induction of this category in the official course records, starting from this year. While he took out the overall best time and fastest bike time, nevertheless the fastest times for both runs are now held by David Alder.
Andrew and Ben Tuchler established a new course record in winning the All-Male Team with their line-honours effort of 1:40:03. Daniel Oehm also ran the fastest-ever time for a male team member in helping his team "Meat & Veg" into 2nd placing.
The Belinda/Susie combo of "Jube" were too good in the All-Female team division, winning with 2:27:41; while Antonio and Melanie's "Mind over Matter" proved the veracity of their name in taking out the Mixed Team prize with 2:18:17.
David Simpfendorfer led the field from the start in the Short-Course race, to carry home the race outright in a fine 35:26. 2nd and 3rd outright were stars from the Male 50-59 category – Kim Houghton was forced to break his own age-group course record with an outstanding 39:45 (collecting a new record for the final run along the way of 11:14), due to a superb charge on the bike from Nick Smee, whose final time of 40:01 was also better than the previous record, and who now owns the fastest time for this age group over the 7km bike course of 21:12.
Phoebe Chadwick-Masters based her victory in the women's race on a fine bike ride, cruising in to win in 45:21, from Kathryn Hopkins' 46:31 and Abigail Adera's 49:01. Razz Morgan took out the Female Over 50s with 57:46, which including a new best time for her age group over the 1st run of 7:11.
The "Ballistic Boyz" of Morgan and Tom won the All-Male team prize for the second year running with 46:27; while Alison and Paul's "Team Hills" took out the Mixed Team in the Short-Course race in 45:36.
Each race of this type is a world in itself: there are many adventures, dramas, struggles, disappointments and triumphs along the way for each of us. If we had an award for the outstanding performance of the day, it would go to Brett Ladd, who made the trip from Sydney to compete. The published results show that Brett came in second last in the Long-Course race. What the results don't show, is that Brett stopped to help a fellow competitor who had suffered a broken bike chain – not once, not twice, but THREE times! – thus sacrificing over 40 minutes of his own precious race time.
Our gratitude also goes to Simon Whitehead of Sports Medicine Australia for his invaluable service; to everyone from Triathlon ACT who officiated with a perfect combination of cheerfulness and professionalism; our friends at Access Canberra for helping with permits; and to helpers from the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team.

In some competitions, and on some days, there can only be one winner…
On other days, several contenders can emerge as winners…
Yet today was one of those very rare occasions, when every participant – by a happy conjunction of auspicious weather, venue, course, Nature in repose, fortunate circumstance, general goodwill and an alignment of inner mood and outer conditions otherwise known as grace – was assured of being a winner.
Some records were threatened, a few barely survived, while several were shattered.
The first record was broken even before the day dawned: the largest field (119 entries) ever assembled for this annual gathering at the foot of Black Mountain. As though in response to this expression of intent, Mother Nature joined in with her own record: the warmest day this race has ever experienced, with some spectators sporting T-shirts for the first time in this mid-Winter race's history.
Headline performance of the day surely belongs to Dylan Cooper, who, in a field boasting several former course record holders, took all in his stride to set a new all-comers course record of 1:39:36 in his debut duathlon. En route, Dylan also bested his friend Rowan Beggs-French's bike course record with a new standard of 53:30 for the challenging 23km. Rowan – who had urged Dylan to take part in the race – effectively relegated himself to second place, with his fine 1:43:44, from another former record-holder, Dave Osmond in 1:45:45.
In the Male 50-59 category, evergreen Jon Schol took the honours with 2:06:11 from the ever-cheerful Christian Dussault in 2:09:27. Peter Fogarty won the new Male 60+ with his splendid 2:26:26.
Kate Vandenberg's superior biking gave her the win in the women's long-course race in 2:09:11, despite Priscilla Barrington running faster in both of the run legs, Priscilla having to settle for 2nd placing in 2:10:35, from Beth Bowen in 2:31:49. Jane Hiatt meanwhile, flew the flag for the Female 50+ with her steady 3:14:50.
In the Long-Course teams division, Craig Benson established a new record for the first run leg of a scintillating 9:48. With Craig teaming with Jack Druery, "Team A" took out the All-Male Teams in 1:48:34. The "Duathlon Dugongs" pairing of Olivia Stutchbery and Kurt Warn won the Mixed Teams in 1:55:36; and the "Duomums 4350" – Kim Greaves and Carol Hartley – ran out winners of the All-Female Teams in 2:27:12.
The Short-Course race was surely Kim Houghton's finest hour – or rather, his finest 40 minutes and 5 seconds, being how long it took him to win the solo race outright and establish a new course record for 50-and-over males. Kim also wrested hold of John Smytheman's long-standing bike course record, which now stands at 21:39. John had to settle for 2nd place today in an excellent 49:58.
Only 6 seconds behind the flying Kim Houghton, came the Male Under 50 winner, Steve Sibraa in 40:11, from Peter Daffier in 41:17.
Lou Basyoni led from the front in the women's race to win in a fine 42:15. Lou won each of the 3 legs, and set a new record for the 1st run leg (by one second!) of 6:01. Felicity Roantree wasn't far behind in 43:31; from Simone Annis' 3rd-placed 47:31.
"Team Bennie" (Tom Bennie and Jacob Stewart) set a new best time for the All-Male Team in the Short-Course race of 38:49, as well as taking line honours in the race. Ann Backhouse and Jenna Fitch teamed up to form "J Fit" and take out the All-Female combinations in 55:26; while the Mixed Teams title went to the redoubtable pairing of Melissa Head and Trevor Jacobs ("Headways") in 39:06, for second across the line.
Gratitude to all who participated, helped, cheered and served in any way to help make this such a memorable and glorious occasion…

The LSU family is in mourning this Friday morning, as it was reported that junior F Wayde Sims had been shot and killed.

Shortly after learning of Sims's tragic death, coach Will Wade issued a statement via email:
"We are all devastated. We need your prayers for Wayde, for his family, for all of us. We are heartbroken."

Indiana Electric Cooperatives Community Day provides an opportunity for Indiana's electric cooperatives to work collectively toward making a positive impact on our great state. On this day, each of Indiana's electric cooperatives is asked to determine a need within its service area. Then, we have employees work as a team to complete the project in that particular area. The day provides an opportunity to focus on the good work electric cooperatives do in their communities while raising awareness about Indiana's Electric Cooperatives. And it also gives us a chance to provide extra value to the communities we serve. In 2018, Jay County REMC lent a hand in two projects. The first was South Adams Trail Head in Geneva, IN and Berne, IN. Here, the employees of the Jay County REMC lent a hand in planting more trees along the path on the north side of Geneva, IN. These trees are to provide beauty and shade along the path as well as to create a sound barrier. The second project the REMC lended a hand in was to the Winchester Fire Department. Here, the linemen created a mock hot-line set up for first responders to use while training. The set does not include power, it is for those first responders to learn about the equipment that is on the lines and to encourage the use of safety practices.
In 2017, the Jay County REMC came together with the South Adams Trail Head to begin a beautification project at the trail's head in Geneva, IN. The trails opened to the public with their ribbon cutting in October of 2016 to provide the southern portion of Adams county with a paved walking/running/riding path. The SA Trail Head begins at Rainbow Lake in Geneva and extends north to the Wabash River. It also runs from the Lehman Park Pavillion heading south to 700S in Berne. You can follow the progress of the trail as well as any events they may have on their Facebook page, South Adams Trails.
In 2016, the Friends of Ward Township Schoolhouse #5 was in need of help. The school was crumbling to pieces and the local residents sought help to save it along with it's history. The REMC helped out by sorting through the piles of bricks to be reused on the building as well as refinishing the school desks found still inside the school. If you would like to reach out to the Friends of Ward Township you can do so through their Facebook page, Ward Township, District No. 5 Schoolhouse, Randolph County, Indiana.
In 2015, we reached out to Frank Merry Park to help beautify the clubhouse. Frank Merry Park touches Blackford, Delaware and Jay counties and has a variety of amenities including fishing, gun or archery ranges, clubhouse rental and courts to name a few. The park's annual membership fee is open to the public. Visit frankmerrypark.com for more information.
In 2014, we began our journey of seeking out those in need of help for our first Community Day project. The Journey Home, located in Winchester, IN, was where we began. The Journey Home helps veterans in need. That need maybe in the form of housing, stablility, support or intervention. The REMC came to the Journey Home to help in landscaping and painting the front side of the building. If you are in need of assistance from The Journey Home or would like to know more about their cause, you can find them at JourneyHomeVets.org.

"A junkie in the forest" is a project about inspiration and wit. It is also a project about repetition, mechanical production and about the rote recombination of standardized elements. In other words, it is a project about industry.
The cartoonist's "gag-master," an aleatoric device dating back to at least the 1930s, allows the user to compute tens of thousands of unique joke premises simply by spinning three concentric wheels. Olav Westphalen has developed a substantial body of drawings based on this classic tool of low-brow entertainment as well as on other mechanical systems. (only a selection of this obsessive project is on view here).
At times, the results of his method are what one would expect: high art translations of low art craft, in this case the nondescript language of mainstream cartoons. Clearly, the quick ink lines, the ubiquitous bubble noses and all the other comical shortcuts are as fascinating to the artist as they are unnerving. But these drawings go beyond the negotiation of the hi-low divide, they manage to outgrow their their chummy roots and become that taboo thing: autonomous expressions, they acquire a strange kind of poetry, corrupted and ridiculous, yet not without beauty.
The drawings are frequently punctured by painterly gestures apparently culled from our collective memory of those conveyor-belt productions of academic abstraction from earlier, simpler decades (and which lately have been reappearing in the galleries). On second look you notice that the spill-over, the drips and drop-cloth stains created by these painterly commonplaces, are re-used as forms in their own right, thus obliterating the distinction between product and waste, artistic inspiration and mechanical transport of paint.
Another group of images jettisons the hard-line cartoon esthetic in favor of realistic brush drawings. In these drawings with titles such as "Carla Bruni in a submarine using animals and humans for unfit tasks", the modular components of a comical situation are juxtaposed in a straight, deadpan manner. Here the joke, if there is one, takes shape entirely in the viewers' mind. But again, there may not be a joke.
Olav Westphalen works with a range of materials and methods: drawing, sculpture, performance. He has also worked as a commercial cartoonist within the art world for over a decade now.
To some extent this entire project is a revisiting of Richard Prince's obsession with low-brow comedy, albeit a complex one. Appropriation is no longer at issue when the artist is appropriating from his own cartoonist self. Instead of stating once again the crisis of authorship, originality etc. "A junkie in the forest" actually re-admits a notion of "wit" and "idea" even of "voice." To be sure, this is a broken, refracted and bathetic voice. But still. It is a show about industry.
When Seurat, who then was an office worker by day, was asked how he was able to paint his huge canvasses in his kitchen by the light of a single candle, his reply was: C'est ma méthode. (It's all in the method).

No way but up for water situation?
(Editorial ~ 03/25/08)
It isn't a good sign when a state official in charge of a controversial issue steps down before the issue is settled. On the other hand, the issues, Nebraska's dispute with Kansas over the Republican River, probably won't get any worse. In fact, perhaps a new perspective will move the issue off the railroad tracks where it has been stalled for the past decade...

A new binocular challenge
(Column ~ 03/25/08)
How did you do with the binocular challenge from two weeks ago? I didn't do too bad. I found all the objects except for the elusive M38.

All our telescopes can be built in a binocular fashion. Watch the skies with full range of view and comfort.
All our telescopes can be built in a binocular fashion. Watch the skies with full range of view and comfort.
Binocular Telescopes comprise two telescopes of the same size paired on a single mount. This expands the range of view and adds extra comfort for the viewer. TEC can construct any TEC telescope model into a "BINO" as long as two of the same model have been ordered.
The APO140FL F/7 is especially suited for dual viewing of the night sky. The light and slender Tube Assembly has nice balance and a wider variety of mount options.
When ordering a BINO, it is important to consider the mount load capacity and any additional accessories required for the dual mounting. Due to the fact that a BINO comprises two of the same model, BINO telescopes are considered special orders and require specification when making the initial order. If you would like to purchase a BINO telescope, please specify in the comments in the order form and select to purchase two telescopes of the same size. Please note that Binocular telescopes require double the deposit, because it comprises two telescopes.

And on the third day, he rose to play again.
At this rate, the Patrik Laine story will eventually be bound in leather with debossed gold lettering on the cover and one of those silk-tassel bookmarks.
Laine's legend got another chapter, Friday, as the Winnipeg Jets winger miraculously healed from a Tuesday foot injury to play against the Anaheim Ducks.
Laine's remarkable rise from the trainer's table – he didn't miss a single game – came a day after Jets head coach Paul Maurice suggested he'd not only miss Friday's game, but likely Sunday's tilt against Nashville, too.
"Four days to 14 days is probably the range we've seen in the past," the Jets boss said, Thursday, of Laine's particular ailment.
So the fabulous Finn not only has a shot and a goal-scoring touch from another world, but the healing power of a super-hero, too.
"Just a lot of ice and taking care of it… that's pretty much it," Laine said of his secrets before the game, shrugging off his surprise appearance at the morning skate.
So how did he pull this one off?
Maurice rolled back the stone on the day's events, which began with Laine testing out his foot with the injured players before the full morning skate.
"He goes out at 9 a.m., skates for two minutes and says, 'I can play tonight,' " Maurice related. "I say, 'Fine, but you're taking our morning skate.' So he goes back out there, skates faster than he has all year so everybody knows that he can play.
"And then he skates off the ice, walks into my office and says, 'I can play.' That's how it went."
Maurice, however, remained the doubting Thomas.
"I said, 'Fine — you prepare like you're gonna play. We're gonna give it the afternoon and make sure nothing changes.' "
It didn't, and there was Laine when the Jets bolted from the gate for the pre-game skate.
During O Canada, when the big video board showed Laine in all his bearded glory on the bench, the crowd erupted.
Earlier, in the dressing room, his teammates sounded like disciples who believed all along.
Miracle? What miracle?
"We see Patty every day," Mark Scheifele said. "We get a good sense of how it's going. We don't care what the talk of the town is."
Neither did Maurice, while mulling over the decision on whether or not to let his star suit up.
"Talk to the doctors, first," the coach said. "Take the player out of the equation, and make sure you take the name off it."
Maurice said Laine's healing powers became apparent the day after he took a slap shot off his left foot against the L.A. Kings.
But he needed another day before he'd start spreading the good word to the public.
"Before I come out and say, 'Hey boys, the swelling is way down, get the prayer vigil going – it's going to be OK,' and then you come back the next day and the swelling's back," Maurice said. "So you just don't say anything."
Then came Friday's resurrection – just in time to resume the chase for one of hockey's holy awards, the Rocket Richard Trophy: Saint Patrik vs Alexander the Great.
"If I'm playing, that's not the reason I'm playing," Laine said, pre-game, of the NHL's goal-scoring title. "That has nothing to do with my decision."
We'll take him at his word.
So how'd he do?
He skated as well as ever, had the puck on a string a few times, got some prime scoring chances and finished with five shots on goal.
He got his biggest cheer since the anthem when he came back hard and dove to break up an Anaheim scoring chance in the third period, the game locked at 2-2.
His team dominated the Ducks for two periods, out-shooting them 34-9 at one point.
But Anaheim hung around and hung around, and it went to overtime.
A fairy tale would have had Laine get the winner, of course.
Instead, that glory went to Kyle Connor for the second straight game, as the Jets won, 3-2.
On this day, one miracle from No. 29 would have to do.

Laine wasn't sure what happened to his foot at first
Patrik Laine didn't know if his foot was broken or not. Just that it hurt.
"Yeah, it was hurting a lot," Laine said, Friday, as he returned to the ice for the first time since he blocked a slap shot against the L.A. Kings, Tuesday. "And I've never had problems with my ankles so I have no idea how it feels when it breaks or is serious. I mean, it was hurting a lot so there's a lot of things going through your head… when they said it was nothing serious, then I was pretty relieved."
The Winnipeg Jets leading goal scorer made a fast recovery to play against the Anaheim Ducks, Friday night, sporting a new look: shot blockers to protect his feet.
"Yeah, I guess I have to," he said. "I'm going to block shots in the future too, so I want to be careful."
Unlike some teams, the Jets don't make the extra protection mandatory.
"I wouldn't do that to a guy," head coach Paul Maurice said. "You change something on a player or demand he changes his game somehow and he doesn't want to, what he's thinking about on the bench is, 'These damn blockers – if I didn't have them on I would have scored that last one.'
"They've almost all got them built into their skates now, anyway."

An OpenID Enabled and Secured Web GIS Based Disease Reporting and Surveillance System
Muhammad, Asif
Internet is an integral part of our society due to its increasing popularity, from on-line surfing to e-commerce to interactive chatting. The nearly ubiquitous access to the Internet and interactive content of the World Wide Web (WWW) have made them a powerful means for people to access, exchange, and process information. Many applications in journalism, sciences, publishing and other fields have been changed by and adapted for use on the Internet. In the same way, the Internet has changed the way to access, share and manipulate GIS data and processing. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) plays a crucial role to help public health organizations in making decisions and understanding population health. To improve understanding of community health needs, and design efficient interventions of an organization, the powerful tools and solutions that GIS technology brings to the desktop, are widely used. GIS technology provides variety of solutions considering ones that meliorate field data collection and reporting, and others that improve disease surveillance and analysis with online mapping and spatial statistics. The ocular product of GIS i.e. maps, have the ability to communicate a health situation, such as environmental contamination, to decision makers. Technologically the use of GIS through the Internet is a new development. In order to use the Web-based geospatial applications efficiently, new standards and challenges are created due to the significant increase in use of the Internet. Among other conditions these challenges are data files size, spatial scale, data transmission and compression, for the wide use of GIS functionality. In case of public health applications, geospatial databases developed for the web should have additional requirements to (a) insure the security of individual's information from disclosure. For the analysis and visualization of complex geospatial data, use of GIS and web technologies provide opportunities for the public health decision makers and the public to read understand and solve their problems easily. Before the deployment of Internet, Public health and other government agencies used to have data "stovepipes" or data storage silos. Excluding the most knowledgeable users, it was quite difficult for others to access the data, especially geographic or geospatial data. This stovepipe legacy has broken down by the introduction of Internet. To develop and access geospatial information with lowest cost and to accelerate the transformation at the highest level of policy making is essential for the successful operation of government and the nation. In the meanwhile internet is quite vulnerable to different type of attacks e.g. Phishing, session hijacking etc. and to place the personal health record (PHR) online can be quite undesirable in terms of information disclosure. The Most polemical issue for PHRs is the privacy of patient information, while using the technology. Nowadays Network computer break-ins are more common, therefore to store medical information online can evoke fear of the exposure of health information to unreliable users. Our medical records often expose very sensitive information about our physical body, in addition to height, weight, blood pressure and other quantitative information. For example, emotional and psychological disorders, fertility, sexual behavior and STDs, abortions, physical abuse, etc. Such information must be kept private to protect patients from social embarrassment, prejudice, inadequate insurability and unfair job opportunities. Maintaining confidentiality and security of public health data is a priority across all public health programs. Internet-GIS is progressively used in organizations of health in order to visualize and share the georeferenced health data through the internet. In the development of a disease surveillance and information system user authentication and data publishing have vital concerns. This dissertation introduces and evaluates new security protocols for single sign on web applications using modern concepts of OpenID. Authentication in web based system has to do with ensuring that the identity of a user cannot be forged or altered. Hence, authentication focuses on the verification of the identity of users of public health data. Simply, the identities of users of Public health surveillance system must be true and verifiable, where as authorization in these systems means ensuring that e-health data can be accessed only by authorized users. With the help of Single Sign on concept implemented in this dissertation public health officials and decision makers can easily interact with multiple servers and services with only one time authentication with a modern light weight protocol OpenID implemented in this study. A prototype system have been implemented in this study for online disease reporting and surveillance which is very useful for public health officials and decision makers for real time health surveillance with the help of Internet GIS and Open Source Software's (OSS) in order to protect the morbidity and mortality rate in the area of interest. The prototype system is capable of collecting the data from participating institutes and health care centers through client applications. In this study we have implemented two types of data collection techniques i.e. through desktop client interface and a mobile client for disease data collection. This system is capable of displaying the disease patterns and trends on the basis of very simple user queries. This system provides separate interfaces of disease trend monitoring on the basis of weekly, monthly and yearly. Cumulative disease trends with respect to several years and multiple diseases are of utmost importance for public health officials for analyzing the trends in past years. One of the components in our system is capable of generating the cumulative trends for several years, for one and more than one disease. This component is very useful to analyze the relationship among several diseases and years.

PITTSBURGH (NewsRadio 1020 KDKA) – It may be tempting to give a child a bunny or dyed chick for Easter, but that may not be the best idea.
Shannon Tremblay with Animal Friends in the North Hills tells KDKA Radio, people don't give dyed chicks much anymore. However, there's still a problem with bunnies.
People don't realize that rabbits need as much care and attention as dogs or cats and they aren't good pets for young children.
"They do like to nibble, so you need to rabbit-proof your house pretty thoroughly, because wires and cords and bottom legs of furniture and even your shoes, you have to take that all into consideration," said Tremblay.
Tremblay says bunnies are too fragile to make good pets for young children.
"We know that bunnies are cute and cuddly and provide unconditional love, but sometimes it seems people get swept up in the spirit of things and you don't really think about the impact you will make not only on your family, but on the life of the pet," said Tremblay.
Most people don't realize a bunny you get at a shelter is totally different than the ones you see hopping around your backyard and will not survive if released into the wild.
"They are a totally different species that will not survive in the wild. They are a prey animal and all they've known their entire life is being cared for and if they are released into the wild, they have a chance of being hit by cars, picked off by other wildlife, or they would just die because of the elements. So, it's not just something you can open your door, let them out and think that they are going to survive. Just like it would be for a dog or a cat, you can't to that," said Tremblay.
Tremblay adds, if you do decide to go the route of a dyed baby chick, remember that chick will quickly grow and could become an issue for most families.
"In a few months, your gonna have a chicken on your hands, and if you don't have the means to house that chicken properly, then your going to be wondering, 'What do I do now?' Because, you have to think past that cute and cuddly little fuzzy thing right in front of you and remember that it is going to grow into an adult animal," said Tremblay.
She adds if you don't know what to expect with a bunny or chick, many families are unpleasantly surprised, so do your research first.
Folks interested in Rabbits are encouraged to come to one of Animal Friends weekly BunRuns, where they can interact with the rabbits and become more educated before deciding to adopt.

Another Monday and it's time for some Monday motivation you need for your fitness journey. As we always try to encourage you with our Monday fitness motivation article we are back with yet another hot Instagram fitness model. This time it's the Ukrainian internet star, Julia Gilas. Last week we went through the fitness profile of Chessie King and saw why she is the ultimate fitness inspiration.
Julia Gilas is a health and fitness model and an Instagram sensation with a great body. She was born in 1985 in Ukraine and moved to the USA in the year 2009 at the age of 24 to pursue a career as a fitness model. She now is a US citizen and lives in San Diego, California.
When Julia was young she always dreamed of moving away from the country she was born in, due to the lack of common resources. There were times where the cold would be unbearable which made it difficult for her to use the common services such as the internet, says Julia. This lack of services gave her the motivation to follow her dreams towards success.
Things weren't easy for Julia as she traveled the world and was struggling with her health. She was unable to make healthy food choices and workout to keep herself going. But Julia did not give up on her dreams and took things into her own hands to start her fitness journey.
Julia said, "As I got older, I began to realize that modeling was grueling, and my health was beginning to suffer because of it. Many of the models around me looked great on the outside, but they were unhealthy because of the lifestyle. I'd see them eating junk food and drinking multiple energy drinks throughout the day to keep going, and this would go on day after day. I started researching and reading up on how to become truly healthy".
As a professional fitness model and trainer now, it is a part of Julia's job to maintain her perfectly fit body. You can clearly see this on her Instagram account where she posts her workout and modeling pictures. When not posing for pictures she is in the gym working hard.
Julia trains 5 days a week and makes sure she is putting in the right workout sessions to achieve the right fitness. She prefers volume over strength training.
You asked me to shoot a video about "how to tighten your abs" The truth is that "Rock Hard" Abs are made in the Kitchen. You can work your abs everyday but if your diet is crappie, your strong abs won't show. For example, lately I am little loose on my meal plan, even though I have strong abs they're not showing much. To make MY abs visible and tight I have to be around 13-14% body fat, that can only be achieved with eating clean, control of calories intake and counting micros. 💪🏻 About my workout: I am working out my abs two times per week, usually before an upper body workout. I do three rounds of three ab exercises. Here is my favorite ab exercises. 1) Plank variations ( 30 sec) 2) Leg raises & variations ( slower is harder) 3) Stir the pot ( lover butt and slower is harder) 4) Landmine twist ( straighter arms is harder) 📝 With abs, slower is better than faster. Do Less reps but make them count.
Here's Julia's training plan:
Monday – Full body & Cardio
Tuesday – HIIT & Cardio
Wednesday – Legs & Cardio
Thursday – Abs & Cardio
Friday – Rest
Saturday – Glutes & Cardio
Sunday – Rest
Julia is now living her dreams, but it is not just her workout in the gym and sexy pictures on the Instagram but her well-balanced diet outside the gym which helps her to keep up with the fitness levels.
Julia follows a very strict diet to reach specific macros daily to keep her figure lean and toned.
Julia's diet plan:
Calories – 1431 kcal
Protein – 215g
Carbs – 83g
Fat – 24g
Whey Protein
Green Tea Extract
Julia says, "Now my days are busy with healthy living, and my typical day starts at around 6 a.m. When I'm not at photo shoots, taking pictures, working out, or doing any of the other typical daily things that come up in life, I like to enjoy quiet time to myself. I have a pet squirrel, a dog, and a cat who keep me company. When I have downtime, I like to watch good movies".
Coming from a country where she struggled to use the common services like the internet and freezing cold winters she is now one of the biggest fitness starts on the internet. Julia teaches us that with hard work and determination you can change your life. Julia knew that hard work was the only answer if she wants to live her dreams. Julia today is one of the most successful internet fitness celebrity with more than 5,044,391 Instagram followers. She also runs a website name Julia Gilas where she provides the fitness training.

A2 Ethics Notes (Religious Studies)
This document contains ethics notes on Meta-Ethics, ethical language, normative ethics, Conscience, Virtue Ethics, Business Ethics, Environmental ethics and Sexual Ethics. These notes are NOT perfect, there may be some grammatical errors, gaps of knowledge or even some mistakes. The notes are more detailed in some areas than others but there are examples, evaluation and I have made notes on how each of the ethical theories approaches each topic. I made these notes in accordance with the OCR specification using the textbooks my school provided and the revision guides I purchased.
