A 13-year-old Guys Hill boy has been hailed a hero after running to the aid of his elderly neighbour who was involved a nasty lawnmower accident.
Fletcher Aitken was walking home from school when he heard a faint cry for help; his neighbour Jim Barnes had tipped his ride-on mower on a steep hill, pinning himself under the heavy machine.
The 72-year-old Vietnam veteran spent four hours calling for help while stuck under the running Massey Ferguson 2520 mower.
"After three hours I started getting worried; my leg was completely stuck underneath the mower and I started losing feeling in my foot. I really thought I was going to lose my foot," Mr Barnes said.
"I've been driving tractors for 50-odd years and had a couple of accidents in that time, but this was the first time I've really been scared."
Despite being home alone, schoolboy Fletcher didn't hesitate to act; first calling his mother to check what to do before running over a kilometre to his neighbour's aid.
"I had just got off the school bus and I heard someone calling for help. I was the only one home at the time, so I called Mum to ask her what I should do. She told me to check on our neighbour Jimmy," Fletcher said.
"When I ran up there I found him underneath the mower; he was shaking but talking fine. He told me to go to the shed and get a jack to try and move it off his leg. When that didn't work he told me to get help.
"I ran inside his house and called Mum, who then called the ambulance. I just sat with him until help arrived."
Police, paramedics and SES teams were quickly on scene, and had to cut out a large hole in a hedge in order to extract Mr Barnes from the steep embankment.
He was then transported to hospital by ambulance.
Fletcher's mum Beryl Aitken was working near Cheltenham at the time of the accident.
"I wasn't home at the time which was the hardest part; I tried calling all the neighbours but no-one was home. I couldn't get there fast enough," Ms Aitken said.
"Jimmy knows the kids walk home from school around 4pm and that's why he did lots of yelling and calling out. His property is around 1.5km away – we all live on big properties so it's not like we're right next door – so it's actually really lucky that Fletcher heard him at all.
"It was also his last day of school, and it was a really hot day; if it had happened the next day who knows if anyone would have heard him? It could have been much worse."
Police who attended the scene were so impressed by Fletcher's efforts that they are considering nominating him for Ambulance Victoria's Community Hero Awards.
"Fletcher saw that someone was in trouble and he acted," Emerald Police Sergeant Dave Calkin said.
Mr Barnes is now back home and recovering well.
He is grateful to his young neighbour for his quick-thinking deed.
"Fletcher has done a fantastic job; I don't know how long I would have been stuck there for if it wasn't for him," Mr Barnes said.
"People don't realise how easy it is to get in trouble with mowers and tractors; they're all quite dangerous.
"This won't slow me down though – I'll be back on it tomorrow."

Only 'Koevoet' can defeat Boko Haram
The key to defeating Boko Haram is to send in units that actually know what they are doing in African warfare. If we want to win, we need to bite the bullet and bring in South Africa's toughest, and there were none tougher than Koevoet
Boko Haram was quiet for a while. Now it is back with a vengeance. What has been going on? The explanation involves SSTEP -- Specialized Tasks, Training, Equipment and Protection.
This is the successor to Executive Outcomes (EO), a private army that existed in South Africa from 1989 to 2000, both founded by Colonel Barlow, a former commander in the South African Defence Force.
In 1995, EO gave the arm-choppers of the Revolutionary United Front in Sierra Leone a good thrashing. There was relative peace until EO was withdrawn and the mayhem began all over again, until it was finally snuffed out by the Royal Marines and the Paras,
Now history is repeating itself.
When Nigerian forces proved to be very bad at fighting Boko Haram but very good at robbing, kidnapping and murdering innocent civilians, the then-President Goodluck Jonathan turned to Col.Barlow.
At its peak, the army numbered around 1,500 men, mostly battle-hardened veterans who had honed their trade in Angola and Namibia..
They were dubbed 'koevoet' -- the crowbar -- as tough as they come, skilled at arms, and very experienced in bush-warfare. They were the only multi-racial fighting unit in the South African military.
Of course, they are now ageing but they reckon that it's experience that counts more than youthfulness.
About 100 men were deployed in Nigeria, and they were equipped with attack helicopters. Their key tactic is 'relentless pursuit' in which they chased Boko Haram into exhaustion and then cut off their escape routes by landing troops ahead of them.
Boko Haram got hammered and fled back into the bush.
Then the Nigerians got a new Big Man when Jonathan lost the Presidential election. He promptly sacked all his top generals. He also got rid of the South Africans.
And Boko Haram immediately returned, now affiliated to ISIL. No surprise there, then.
The lesson is blindingly obvious.

"When choosin' between two evils, mi always like fi try di one mi nebah haab try before!" - Dzivah
Dzivah is a lone Pyromancer estranged from her Darkspeak heritage.
Born in the Broken Isles, Dzivah saw the continual displacement of her people by war and famine. Believing that stability would never be experienced by the Darkspear, she chose to leave Kalimdor and wander back towards the Eastern Kingdoms. Her decision to leave was also in no small part due to her love of the arcane; the overly superstitious Darkspear had taken to calling her 'Zulfli', meaning 'little witch'. Now estranged from her Darkspear heritage, Dzivah spends most of her time researching and testing new concoctions from her small quarters in Dalaran.
Arcane Studies
Though the Darkspear have embraced magecraft without prejudice since their joining with the Horde, Dzivah grew up in a time when women Darkspear were disparaged for becoming Witch Doctors and arcane practices were regarded with much superstition. Her interest in the arcane brought her much scorn and as a result her teen aged years were characterized by loneliness and bouts of depression. Her affinity for the arcane was not lost, despite the hindrances to her full training. It was only until after she chose to leave for the Eastern Kingdoms that she was able to tap into her full potential.
Anastasia Hartwell and the Royal Apothecary Society
The forsaken mage and scholar was instrumental in Dzivah's training. Upon arriving in the wasted Kingdom of Lordaeron after the third war, Dzivah pledged her services to the Forsaken and their Banshee Queen, Sylvanas Windrunner. Miss Hartwell took Dzivah under her wing, teaching her pyromancy and some hydromancy spells. Her keenness for learning and her surprisingly nimble troll hands caught the attention of Anastasia's acquaintance, Master Apothecary Faranell of the Royal Apothecary Society. He employed her initially to weed pick in the rotting vales and fields of Tirisfal, but soon realized that her ancestral knowledge of hexing and potions would be invaluable to the society's works. Dzivah became a fully-fledged apothecary working closely with Master Faranell. Her bitter resentment toward her Darkspear brethren and her mostly solitary existence has caused Dzivah to become shrewd, heartless, and self-serving above anything else. Her true allegiance may or not be with the Forsaken, as she is not forthcoming with her feelings about their organization, nor about the society's ultimate aim in creating a new plague for the living.
Exalted by the Forsaken
Dzivah has been rewarded for her work with the Royal Apothecary Society with her own Skeletal Warhorse. She has named the undead steed 'Zulfli', a bitter reference to her past.
Termination of Employment
Dzivah is no longer under the employ of the Royal Apothecary Society. Her position was terminated by Master Apothecary Faranell prior to Warchief Thrall's declaration of War and the deployment of Horde forces into Northrend. In her diary, Dzivah speculates that the decision to terminate her was political and had much to do with the ambitions of Grand Apothecary Putress.
After Grand Apothecary Putress' defeat at the battle for the Undercity, Dzivah recovered most of her belongings from her quarters and set out once again for Northrend. As a Potion Doc and Mage of considerable experience, Dzivah is seeking employ in her new home of Dalaran, a city once barred to her and other members of the Horde.
Other Studies
Life away from other trolls has meant that adaptation for Dzivah was not only useful, it was necessary for survival. As a wandering adventurer she was able to learn a few phrases of Common, though she can not speak it with any real fluency. Upon entering into the employ of the Royal Apothecary Society, Dzivah enjoyed access to a vast library and many tomes of language use on Azeroth. She is currently learning Nazja, Thelassian, and Draconic in her free time. Access to captured forest trolls being used as test subjects for alchemical experiments has furthered Dzivah's skill in low common, though her use of it is not intelligible to fluent speakers of real or high common.
Dzivah is a tall and lean troll standing at a little over 6 feet, with thick, muscular legs and wide, curvy hips below a slender waist. Her rough and dry skin is a light turquoise colour. Her thick blue hair is matted and dreaded, and often adorned with the bones of small creatures. Though Dzivah is not meticulous about grooming and appearance, she is known to frequently bathe, often up to three times in one day.
A freelance Adventurer
Dzivah is currently under the part-time employ of the Conviction guild, a band of adventurers and treasure-seekers based in Northrend.
- Dzivah is deathly afraid of Spiders.
- Dzivah, now literate, has taken to keeping a written journal.

(Courtesy of Toy Vey) Jewish toy maker Toy Vey Toys is best known for its Spinning Musical Dreidel plush toy.
However, as a continuation of the enormously successful Passover 2018 promotion, Toy Vey Toys, the award-winning producer of Jewish toys, plush and books that promote family traditions and family-engaging activities for everyone to enjoy, and Aron Streit, Inc., the only family-owned and operated matzah company in America, have a very special Passover 2019 promotion featuring "Streit's Sam the Dancing Matzo Man."
Now, in time for Pesach, bearded Sam who dances and sings, and wears a hat and apron featuring the Streit's logo has something special. He joins an extensive Toy Vey product line that celebrates great family traditions. This year a key component of this plush toy is the ability to personalize the chef's hat. This special Pesach product can be ordered on Amazon (https://amazon.com/samthematzoman ) where customers can choose to have Sam's hat personalized with their child's name (or great gift for any adult). You even have an option if ordering directly from the https://SamTheMatzoMan.com/Streits web site, to receive a free Streit's unique matzah-print pot holder with the purchase of bearded Sam. However this free offer is only available from that link!
Sam will be featured on over a million boxes of Streit's 2019 Passover Matzo, with free shipping for consumers who purchase this plush toy through our special offer at www.SamTheMatzoMan.com/Streits.
"Our goal as a company is to create family traditions," explained Toy Vey's founder and award winning book author, Eli Kowalski. "We want to put a smile on kids' faces and become a part of the Seder tradition: You'll have the kos shel Eliyahu, and you'll have the Matzo Man." (With the batteries removed, he adds with a laugh)
Alan Adler, a Streit's vice president and fourth generation member of the Streit family, said, "Streit's looks to partner with companies that match our dedication to excellence and great taste, and we couldn't find a better partner than Toy Vey. We were immediately impressed with the outstanding creativity of all Toy Vey products, and are so proud to put the Streit's logo, and all that it stands for, on a uniquely wonderful doll like Sam."
"Where else can you get a customized toy for a child?," asked Kowalski. Streit's Matzo choice to partner and promote Sam the Matzo Man, a move they have never done before, speaks (sings?) volumes to Sam's unique appeal as one of the must have Pesach toys on the market.
Order your Sam The Matzo Man at https://SamTheMatzoMan.com/Streits or call 1-877-MATZO-MAN.

Work is set to get underway on the redevelopment of Gosport Sports Park, to replace the ageing Holbrook Recreation Centre with a new £7.2m pound leisure centre.
The project follows months of negotiations between Gosport Borough Council and DC Leisure, which has secured a 15 year management contract to operate the new site.
Delivered by Wilmott Dixon, the leisure centre will include two swimming pools; a 25m pool and a smaller learner pool, a 70 station gym, dance studio and eight five-a-side football pitches. There will also be a sports hall along with 260 parking spaces.
The development will be completed in two phases, allowing Holbrook Recreation Centre to remain open until the new leisure centre is complete. The old centre will then be demolished to make way for a 60 bed Premier Inn Hotel and a new pub/restaurant developed and operated by Marstons Brewery.

Additional hearing scheduled in Duke Energy merger
Climate change nonprofit to have chance to cross-examine merger supporters
The North Carolina Utilities Commission will hold an additional hearing to determine if Duke Energy can merge with Progress Energy.
State regulators announced that climate change nonprofit NC Warn will have a chance Monday to cross-examine witnesses who want the merger.
The ruling came Tuesday after the nonprofit and energy giants filed dueling motions this week, arguing over whether additional hearings were needed. NC Warn argued the merger could drive up rates for customers, while the energy companies responded that no further hearings were necessary.
The $13.7 billion merger would create the nation's largest electric utility, serving 7 million customers in six states.
The merger cleared a major hurdle June 8 when it was approved by federal regulators after more than a year of consideration.

Last week, the future Mrs Japanese and I decided to play a game to whittle away the time during a long car journey. We decided to explain the first lines in a song as a brief synopsis, without using any of the actual lyrics.
These should be easy to guess, and additions are encouraged.
1. A gentleman addresses a married woman belonging to a fruit drink manufacturing business.
2. Set in the north of England, a jealous impresario recalls the moment he was first aquainted with a front-of-house employee at Revolution Bar. Sixty months later, things aren't so promising.
3. A Rayleigh lies, temporarily out of action, upon the Moors, overlooking the city below. Our lonely narrator longs for a romantic liaison.
4. Two men meet in a pub which is far from empty. The latter of the two gentlemen is privately educated and a wine conniseur. He yearns for a career in the criminal underworld.
5. Between the hours of sunset and sunrise, two lovers are entwined in an intimate embrace. Anxious, the girl is keen to know if her feelings will be reciprocated the following day.
6. Our lusty narrator is equally impressed with the fashions of women on the Atlantic coast, as well as the vocal tones of those from the Confederate stages. He compares the latter to a punch from Joe Frazier.

"I Am Blessed" Kevan Peabody and Dayanna Griffin Twinkem Productions www.twinkemp.com Leave it to veteran Bay Area gospel artist Kevan Peabody to keep the traditional style alive. Teaming with Lady Dayanna Griffin, Peabody extols the wonderfulness of being blessed and highly favored with a cornucopia of blue notes, while Griffin follows suit with melismatic runs that evoke Kim Burrell or a Clark Sister. The BGVs and musicians, especially the tinkling piano and chortling organ, hold down the rocking chair rhythm, confirming the song's trad cred even further. Still, the ensemble doesn't overdo it, giving the single an intimacy that recalls ...Read More »
Christian Hip Hop's Amour Raps to Change Lives
By Bob Marovich Amour has a two-fisted passion for life. Growing up in her father's church, she sang, played drums, led the youth choir, and joined the dance team. In college, she focused on business, law, fashion, and graphic design. Among a kaleidoscope of interests, one was a gift for rhyming and rapping. Channeling her gift into a means of higher praise, Amour is now emerging as one of only a handful of female Christian hip hop artists. She is also using her talent, and her story, to change lives. Amour (born TerDawn DeBoe) now lives in Cleveland, Ohio, but ...Read More »

March 27, 2019
MEREDITH — Members of the Inter-Lakes High School Math Team came in third in state competition, the highest place they have ever achieved.
The 10-member team, under the direction of coach Lora Carney, went to PSU on March 12 to take part in a series of different math challenges in geometry, algebra I and II, a team problem, and more.
Team member Jaydie Halperin said most of the challenges were the same kind of work they do in class.
Carney said a lot of the math team members are involved in athletics, music and theater, and other extra curricular activities as well as volunteering. She said with all that the students are involved in it was a challenge to fine time to come together and get ready as a team. She said the school overall has a strong math program and its members are involved in high level math classes.
The team came in fist in the Lakes Region Math League, though Carney said she still didn't want to get the students' hopes up going into states.
The team went up to Plymouth on March 12 in matching gray sweatshirts.
Halperin said the geometry challenges can vary in difficulty, though some other problems are "literally impossible." Carney said the team round includes an essay. Halperin said there was a portion with a riddle that kept tripping them up, though they placed second in that category.
Carney said it is a competition, but the students also come for camaraderie and having fun together.
Halperin said each problem was worth a certain number of points and the team with the most points won.
Last year the ILHS team came in fourth.
"Our goal was to break the top three and we did it," Halperin said.
They narrowly achieved third under Bishop Brady High School and Portsmouth Christian Academy, cracking the top three with four points.
"It was awesome," Halperin said. "Everyone was just like surprised, we were like we earned this."
Carney said this is a great group with a lot of enthusiasm.
"It's an amazing group of students and just seeing them grow through the years and seeing them work month after months at the meets," Carney said.
Halperin said Carney is "a great coach."

Having apparently done pretty well selling other people's cameras, tablets and phones, Kogan appears intent on expanding its range of bargain-priced branded items, and has asked for customer suggestions on what it should move into next.
Kogan's blog is asking for suggestions for what it should sell next, though I'm guessing that there are some brands where grey-market importing isn't going to be practical. For instance, it's hard to imagine Amazon letting anyone else undercut it on the Kindle. Got your own thoughts on what Kogan should sell? Share them in the comments.

Games Failed so hard that they actually became Cult Classics? Let's take a look at games that was commercially failed in the beginning but became cult classic afterward.
Platinum didn't create a captivating universe with Vanquish, but it also serves as a showcase of some of their best pure action work. If you haven't had a chance to give it a shot yet, you might as well with the definitive version on PC. – Destructoid
Compared to Bayonetta, Vanquish has some catching up to do. The story and characters are forgettable, the environments quickly get stale, and there's no progression in weapons and powers. At the same time, the gameplay remains brilliant, with solid shooting that melds well with some very fast action; it's enough to overcome any visible flaws. With the improvements in frame rate, Vanquish is a good action shooter for anyone with even a mild interest…

This morning I had the TV news on and there was a young woman on with her parents talking about how she had uploaded photos of her in a bathing suit to a porn site when she was fifteen. She was a little older now, maybe seventeen. I didn't write down her name and decided not to use it in my post because it gives her more publicity, which I think can be dangerous, and she already has a lot. She wasn't naked but the photos accentuated her breasts and she had gotten some positive press but also a lot of negative. At school she was being harassed by other kids who were saying she was a slut and going to be a porn star. She was also receiving some really scary communication from people who had seen her photos saying they were going to rape her when they saw her, etc.
So- I'm not even going to go to the fact that amateur porn isn't paid and therefore exploits the women involved even further. Sticking to the story: Her father said the pics weren't worse than anything you'd see on Victoria's Secret, which was true. Why wouldn't we expect our young people to idealize and copy the things they see in society? They are trying to figure out this crazy world. This is a teenager. She's not the one to blame and call bad. She is following the messages she has gotten from society that tell her being a porn star is one way women are valued.
When I was in school for social work, I remember having a colleague whose family was very proud of her sister and continually recognizing and praising her for being a cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders where as she was getting her Masters in Social Work and they really weren't that interested or as proud of her. I have always thought that was so interesting. To me, it seemed that the values within her family reflect those of the larger society. Women cheering for men and men's sports and being on show primarily for men is much more valued than education or helping professions that are traditionally women's work. From all angles, women get the message that our bodies, looks, and being eye-candy for men is much more important than our ideas, thoughts, and feelings.
More girls and young women have become amateur porn stars in the recent digital age than at any other time. Sending a naked picture of yourself to someone over the internet may not classify you as a star, but that is what you could become. With a couple of clicks at the computer, 'naked you' could be all over the world for every creepy man out there to spew his stuff over. The internet is still relatively new, as are camera phones. Young women are vulnerable to the idea of using digital media to be seen as the cultural standard of beauty, to gain popularity, or to simply be liked.
The following is taken from Wikipedia:
"The largest impact on amateur pornographic photography has been the advent of the internet, digital cameras, and more recently camera phones. These have enabled to take private photos and which have also allowed images to be shared instantly, without the need for expensive distribution, and this has resulted in an ever growing variety and quantity of material. It has also been argued that in the Internet age it has become more socially acceptable to make and view amateur porn. Photo sharing sites such as Flickr and social networking sites such as MySpace have been used to share amateur pornographic photographs – usually nudes but also hardcore photos. A more private and easy to control method of sharing photos is through Yahoo Groups or Google Groups which have access restricted to group members".
"Recently the potential dangers of teenagers or children, who may be unaware of the consequences, using their Camera phones to make videos and images which are then shared amongst their friends (sexting). Images initially meant to be shared between couples can now be spread around the world. The result is now a small but growing amount of online amateur porn depicting underage models, created by the young people themselves."
The young people creating these videos, posting naked photos of themselves, or sex-texting (sexting) are living in an age when as women, we are valued more for our bodies looking sexy than for anything else. Porn stars are popular and idealized. And women with ridiculous amounts of money, like Paris Hilton, send naked photos of themselves to their boyfriends. What is Paris Hilton famous for? Ultimately being a rich kid and then for acting mean and ridiculous when she was on TV? Well, for whatever it is at this point, it started with her naked pictures "leaked" on the internet. I say leaked in quotes because I always thought she planned it. Certainly is a way to get some publicity- bad or good doesn't matter. Ms. Hilton is wrapped up in this too. She has been objectified all over the map and even if she did "leak" those photos, it's not her fault she is seen as a sex object, it's society's fault for looking at women that way and praising that view.
So, it's easy to see why young women might think it's a good idea to become amateur porn stars.
We need to help young women understand that they are being objectified and their value and importance is reduced to their bodies and looks.
Grrl Code: Help young women understand how putting their naked selves on the internet can not only be dangerous, but also reduces them to being valuable only for their looks rather than all the other amazing things they have to offer. It ends up objectifying them. Encourage women to promote their talents and ideas that build self-esteem and their image of themselves and other women. Examples might be: singing, running, writing, drawing, communicating, theater, basketball, computer tech stuff, fashion, design, etc. There are so many.

the unsettling thing about this book is that the first-person narrators to these twelve stories could all be the same person but aren't; they all have this innocence and nonchalance at surreal events that is intended to be humorous. it kind of reminds me of Pastoralia by George Saunders in some ways.
most of these stories involve dogs, except the one with the giant slug and the one where the narrator steals a blind guy's car to drive south for the winter and a couple other short ones. the longer stories have the dogs and many of them are deformed in some way.
there are interesting things going on here, but i feel like it's not quite my sense of humor and i am missing what other people would enjoy in this collection.

from The Belfast Telegraph
By Andrew Johnston
After nearly half a century as a member of South Africa's prime musical export, you might think it would be hard for Ladysmith Black Mambazo co-founder Albert Mazibuko to pick a favourite moment.
The iconic vocal group have topped charts, won Grammy Awards, performed for royalty and collaborated with everyone from Paul Simon to, er, B*Witched. But one meeting looms large.
'A particular performance that stays with me all the time is when we were in Oslo in Norway accompanying Nelson Mandela and FW de Klerk to receive their Nobel Peace Prize,' beams the still spry 64-year-old. 'That morning we were witnessing the two leaders of our country receiving the peace for our country. It was a pride like I have never felt in my life. I will never forget that.'
Incredibly, the current incarnation of the band will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2014. 'It's going to be a big year for us,' marvels Albert. 'We will be celebrating that Ladysmith Black Mambazo has been around all these years, and encouraging the young people that are singing the same kind of music.'
But for now, it's business as usual, and that means a heavy touring schedule all around the world '" including a festival date at the Waterfront Hall. The nine-man outfit last played Northern Ireland at the height of the Troubles, though the actual date seems lost in the mists of time.
'I can't remember what year we were there,' laughs Albert, 'but it has been a long time. We are very much looking forward to coming back.'

By Amy-Jane Griffiths, Ph.D., NCSP, BCBA-D, Director of Chapman University's Families and Schools Together (F.A.S.T) at The Center for Autism & Neurodevelopmental Disorders
The transition from high school to adulthood can be the most exciting and challenging time for students. And for teens with autism, the transition to adulthood can be especially difficult. Planning ahead is especially important and can make the process smoother and more enjoyable.
Here are six tips on how to make this a useful and productive process:
1. Build a strong team.
- Invite the student to identify people in their lives that they would like to support them through this transition period.
- Find people in your community of friends, family and professionals who hold different but complementary skills.
2. Create a vision using the student's strengths and interests.
- Many successful adults with disabilities find happiness and great success by viewing their differences as unusual and distinct abilities.
- Help the youth identify their strengths and work with him/her to create a vision for their future.
- Set high expectations that are clear, positive and person-centered.
3. Ensure goals provide opportunities for contribution, are action-based and focused on the present.
- Start with the skills and goals that impact safety (e.g. getting around the community, safely interacting with strangers, identifying whom to turn to for help, etc.)
- Develop short-term measurable goals that lead to the long-term vision. Think S.M.A.R.T: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-limited.
- As a team, provide opportunities for the young person to participate in meaningful, interesting and challenging activities that allow him/her to utilize his strengths.
4. Start teaching the necessary skills now.
- Remember, after we set these goals, the skills involved must be taught.
- The best time to learn and practice transition-related skills is during adolescence and young adulthood, when there is still a circle of support or a "safety net" for when challenges occur. Start the skill building now.
5. Let your voice be heard.
- Each person on the team has a unique and valuable perspective and should take an active role in developing a plan.
6. Plan for challenges and stay focused.
- This process is not easy. The more you can plan for mishaps, the more likely you will be able to move beyond them and get back on track.
- Communicate with your team when you feel things are not working or need to be adjusted.
- Know that it is possible!

Project Recruits Women to Run for President
Could the first female U.S. president be a scientist? The White House Project believes it's a possibility.
To encourage more women to consider a run at the Oval Office, the nonpartisan, nonprofit group last week released a list of 20 prominent women it thinks might make good candidates. Three women with scientific credentials made the list: psychologist Judith Rodin, president of the University of Pennsylvania; cardiologist Bernadine Healy, a dean at Ohio State University and former National Institutes of Health director; and chemical engineer Mae Jemison, NASA's first female African-American astronaut.
The group is now asking people to vote for the five women they would like to see run for office. It has mailed ballots to more than a million people and will also be inserting them into popular magazines such as People. But it's not clear that the winners will respond to a groundswell of support. Healy, for one, says she won't "deal with a theoretical."
Malaysian MIT Still a Dream
Political turmoil has delayed for a year Malaysia's plans to open a graduate research university run by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). But neither side is abandoning the project, which was supposed to enroll its first students this month.
"We're on hold, waiting for the government to act," says MIT's Fred Moavenzadeh, co-director of the project to create the Malaysia University of Science and Technology outside the capital, Kuala Lumpur (Science, 6 March, p. 1474). A private foundation is paying MIT $25 million over 5 years to instill its research-based curriculum into an elite group of scientist-entrepreneurs. But a similar contribution from the Malaysian government has been blocked by political upheavals precipitated by the country's yearlong economic crisis. In particular, last month's firing and arrest of Finance Minister Anwar Ibrahim has disrupted activity at the ministry, which must approve the spending.
Space Science Isn't Fun Anymore, Gingrich Says
Most Americans may be fascinated by space exploration, but U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) says America's space bureaucrats have made it dull. "One of NASA's major achievements" has been "making space as boring as possible," the pugnacious politician charged last week at a Capitol press conference unveiling a new science policy report (see story on p. 23). Reeling off a litany of complaints, Gingrich said the agency had become "cumbersome" and sponsors projects that are "the opposite of what you want good science to be." He also took some sharp jabs at the international space station, calling the oft-delayed project "an absolute disaster."
NASA officials declined an opportunity to respond to the attack. But House legislative staff said Gingrich's remarks could foreshadow more trouble from House Republicans for NASA officials, who have watched their budget shrink in recent years and are currently trying to talk Congress into paying for a $660 million space station bailout. Gingrich's rhetoric, one aide says, "sent a pretty unsubtle message."
Biologist Named Russia's Science Minister
The appointment of a physicist-turned-molecular biologist as Russia's new science minister could help the nation's natural scientists gain a bigger slice of the funding pie. Last week, Prime Minister Evgeny Primakov tapped Mikhail Kirpichnikov, 53, a veteran science administrator, for the top policy post despite opposition from some physicists and chemists, who currently garner the lion's share of Russia's science spending.
Kirpichnikov earned his doctorate at the Moscow Physical and Technological Institute before taking up a career in molecular biology at several prestigious institutes. Despite working for years as a wonk, Kirpichnikov has kept one foot in the research world, heading a lab in the Russian Academy of Sciences' Bioengineering Center. His background, says Mark van Montagu of the University of Gent in Belgium, could signal rising fortunes for Russia's struggling young biotech industry.

We're in the middle of a snowy landscape, surrounded by a heavy-laden firkin forest and pristine hillsides. The candle in my lantern struggles to illuminate in the deep cold. When we stop walking, cease the crunching of feet and the rustling of coats, the silence is profound.
I think I must be in Switzerland and it must be nearly Christmas. We pass a group of typical Emmental farmhouses, isolated in this mountainous country. Immensely broad, hunkered down in the snow they have smoothly sloping roofs like half extended wings, delicate wood carvings over the doorway and tiny window panes.
Gathered around the main house are smaller cottages – like chickens around a mother hen – for grandparents, uncles and aunts. In the front I can make out the snowy outlines of a typical formal garden.
You may have heard of the cheese but the Emmental is a part of Switzerland where the Swiss go on holiday. Hiking in summer in the hilly forested country in the foothills of the great Swiss Alps. There is little in the way of objective hazard here and well-marked paths.
I am discovering the magic of winter in the Emmental and our lantern-lit walk started at Trachselwald castle, making its way through a winter wonderland in the late afternoon darkness. We reach a clearing to find flasks of warm gluhwein and punsch, homemade Christmas cookies and dried fruit. Our guide gets a bonfire going and stakes the clearing with burning torches. Warmed from without and within, the group chats and then fall quiet to enjoy the silence.
Down in the valley are the lights of Sumiswald and the traditional Gasthof zum Kreuz awaits with pots of steaming gruyere (plus a dash of kirsch and whatever other secret ingredients make Swiss fondue so delicious). It is the twinkly part of winter, when every house is lit up and a great branch of evergreen overshadows each doorway.
Where better place to visit at advent time than the Aebi Pottery in the village of Trubschachen, world famous in Switzerland for its handmade, traditional goods and both Christmas and summer exhibitions. I watched the clay turning on the wheels and the painting of delicate dots creating motifs of flowers and figures made famous by this fourth-generation family business.
All too soon it was time to return to Bern, Switzerland's political capital and an often-overlooked city on the tourist radar. This is about to change with new direct flights starting in March 2011 from London City Airport. With its gorgeous old town and relaxed atmosphere, I soon discovered Bern certainly deserves to be much better known.
The medieval sandstone arcades lining the old cobbled streets have been recognised as a protected World Heritage Site by Unesco and also make for a very pleasant shopping experience. The six kilometres of arcades were built after a devastating fire in 1405. In the Middle Ages these were once houses where families sold their wares out the front but now attractive boutiques and cafes tempt Christmas shoppers.
Tucked away under one of Bern's arcades is one of the city's many cellar restaurants. The Ratskeller offers hearty Bernese fare and I particularly loved the rich Berner Gerstensuppe (pearl barley soup).
After dinner a visit to the Kornhauskeller pretty much guarantees a good night. This massive underground space of dining tables and bar areas was once a granary but is also considered an outstanding example of the Swiss High Baroque style. Relaxing back into a cosy sofa I enjoyed viewing the Munger frescoes decorating the soaring, arched ceiling.
Of course the Bernese are mad keen on their winter sports, and they are certainly spoilt for choice with many of the best ski areas in the Valais and the Bernese Oberland only an hour's drive away.
Bern has two set-piece highlights, the cathedral with its tall spire and the clock tower, where the bears dance around, a rooster crows three times and Father Time strikes his bells with fascinating regularity. From the top you can see the misty mountain peaks and a tour (by arrangement) of the 1530 mechanism reveals that the clock shows an amazing wealth of information, including the time of year and the phases of the moon.
In summer the city hosts a popular music festival but I was happy peering out through the arcades to see the icicles dripping off the many street fountains and the lights glittering from the Christmas market stalls. Whatever the season, this is a part of Switzerland that deserves further attention.

text: Ten days to cover less than 900NM… Probably our slowest and most frustrating crossing so far! The first few days were calm as expected and we enjoyed the flat water. Day three brought a lumpy sea, wind, rain and electric thunderstorms. After that we continued to battle adverse current and wind direction which meant a lot of motoring. We can only hope that it won't be like this all the way to the Marquesas as we have another 3000NM or so to go! We arrived in Santa Cruz yesterday afternoon, anchored in the bay and went straight to the port captain to clear in. We immediately noted the friendly atmosphere. An agent was quickly appointed to help us with the formalities (it is obligatory to use an agent apparently) and he took our passports and boat registry documents and sorted everything out in no time. Thirty minutes later four officials came to the boat (immigration, park authorities, port captain). They checked inside every cupboard for insects, went through a long list of safety and security questions and even wanted to see our life jackets and checked the expiry dates on our medicines (!). We passed with flying colours (phew). Final check this morning of our hull for barnacles and other foreign species. I didn't envy the diver as we had seen a big shark zig zag past the boat just earlier. Our hull was fine and we are now allowed to stay in Galápagos up to 20 days. It's very different from what I expected, much greener (at least Santa Cruz is) and to my astonishment quite developed with restaurants, a supermarket and even a skate park for the boys. There's lots do including day trips to other islands, snorkelling trips and much more but first it's time for a nice meal and a good rest 🙂

THE UK's leading heritag architecture practice, Purcell, has won a place on Oxford University's £1.5bn technical designer framework to deliver capital projects under £20m.
The Estates Strategy mission is to develop, maintain and manage the university estate to ensure the continued enhancement of its unique heritage, buildings and environment, and the provision of world-leading teaching and research.
The Capital Projects Partner Framework sits within this, aiming to serve the wider community.
The university expects to invest around £120-£150 million per year on both new and refurbished facilities, guaranteeing the future suitability of its spaces.READ AGAIN: New visitor centre in Christ Church Meadow is ready to open
These priority projects support the changing patterns of research and learning by providing innovative space solutions.
Improved use of space through new buildings designed for adaptability and shared use is a key consideration for future architectural designs, as well as improved condition and function of the estate by re-purposing vacated buildings when new ones are built.
Another key aim is to reduce running costs and carbon emissions to drive lower energy use and increased environmental comfort.
Commenting on Purcell's place on the framework, Nicola Hewes, Partner of Purcell's Oxford studio, said: "We are delighted to win a place on the framework and we are looking forward to collaborating with the University in delivering exceptional projects and realising their exciting vision for the University's development.
"Our central Oxford Studio was set up over ten years ago when we won our first project with the University on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter site so this opportunity will enable us to grow and develop our team in Oxford."
There is an opportunity for the framework to be extended for another five years following the initial five-year appointment. Purcell leads the framework team with Wilkinson Eyre, Abell Nepp, Price & Myers, Qoda Consulting, AKS Ward and CBG.
This autumn, two significant projects designed by Purcell will complete in the local area including the new visitor centre at Christ Church Meadow, as well as a new graduate centre and additional student accommodation at St Catherine's College.
The new visitor centre at Christ Church, which will feature a ticket office and shop, could attract one million people a year has been built in Christ Church Meadow.READ AGAIN: Oxford University condemns student 'trashing' in Christ Church Meadow
Christ Church college received planning permission for the scheme in 2015 and the building, which has a thatched roof, is expected to open later this year.
Mr Lawrie added that the visitor centre could open in September or October and the building is now being fitted out.
In 2018, Purcell was appointed to the Over £20m Capital Projects Framework with architecture practice NBBJ; this framework team is currently working on the new Centre for Life and Mind Sciences for Oxford University.
Purcell is one of the world's leading design practices with more than 70 years' experience as architects, master planners and heritage consultants operating across regions of the UK and Asia Pacific.
The architectural practice has provided expert consultancy and design services as architects, designers, heritage and specialist consultants on many of the UK's best-known buildings.
In London Purcell has worked on a number of projects, including the restoration of Kensington Palace, Tower Bridge and the National Maritime Museum.

There are 22 games this year. I know you're itching to just get into it, so let's do it!
#3 – Space Quest 6
I'll admit that besides 4 and 6, I'm not much of a Space Quest fan. As I mentioned before, this is primarily due to sci-fi logic, but it's also because in my opinion, it is literally one of the most unforgiving, terribly difficult series of adventure games I've ever come across. There are several in-jokes if you're into sci-fi stuff, but it's almost as if you need to be on the same wavelength as the developer in order to succeed in these games.
Until this one. SQ6 was the best mix of creative but not too terribly difficult puzzles, only a few pixel hunts here and there, implemented a system where you had absolutely no way to get stuck, had an immediate retry option a la Leisure Suit Larry 6 and King's Quest 7, and I really got into the new drawn style. It was much better than KQ7's and was pretty unique overall.
Nevermind that the humor and voice actors this time around were top notch. I did not need a walkthrough to beat this one and yet I can't claim it's easy, either. It's just really damn fun.
#2 – The Dig
…You might need a walkthrough for this one. Yet again, there's more sci-fi logic. I don't want to discuss too much about this title, but suffice to say it was co-written by Steven Spielburg. There are multiple endings, great characters and dialogue, an excellent plot overall, and lots of interesting surprises. This is a very fun, but tough adventure game that's worth playing through a couple of times to experiment with different stuff.
#1 – I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream
"AM is a dick." This is a comment I received upon posting my completion of this title on my backloggery and I absolutely cannot agree more. Yes, this is another sci-fi title, but taken from a very interesting semi-post apocalyptic stance with an evil supercomputer. There's so much dark symbolism, great characters and dialogue, and lots of twists and tragedy. This is one of the only adventure games that I actually genuinely felt sorry for some of the characters involved.
Gripping, dark, and absolutely amazing, this is a game you absolutely cannot pass up.
Runner Ups
This was a very interesting year for adventure games. There are maybe only 3 games on here I wouldn't recommend, but the rest of them are top notch. This was a tough year to choose a top 3. Hell, it would've been a tough year to choose a top 5! I highly recommend checking these titles out ASAP.

is inside a bookshelf not breathing,
learning How the Mind Works and
The Peloponnesian War. As for suffocation,
it is knowing the area beneath the curve;
without this how will the lake be emptied,
and who will hold the girders in place with
chains of flawless steel?
I myself have never made anything standing
that could stay standing. I am susceptible both
to heat and cold, not partial to either, and
I step outside and walk across to that farther shore,
thinking of silence turned to skin.
There is no dreaming but a thought
long and slow like a wave, and fresh skin, wet
and gasping like a swimmer far from land.
There is no wind but the wind I carry with me.
And no ocean, and no rain.
And there are birds that fly for months and months over water
without ever seeing land.
Winner of the Francis Bergen Prize.

Busy, busy, busy! Whether because of or in spite of this, it seems to be getting a lot easier to keep positive and stop myself from dwelling on negative stuff. Still at a bit of a creative standstill, but I have to edit Saturday's video soon so by tomorrow or Friday at the latest I'll at least be able to get something done. As for tonight, I plan to play some Knights of the Old Republic II. Such a great game!
So here's the list of good things as usual:
1. For whatever reason I forgot Amon Amarth is putting out a new album soon, and will be touring shortly after. I don't know if I can see them live (they are playing Boston but I'm not there, and the closest place they're playing to Austin is San Antonio) but I assume the album will be fantastic and can't wait to buy it!
2. I had a job interview today. I couldn't really get a bead on what the interviewer thought, but I did get a call saying I am wanted for a second interview at the used car dealership, which I have a really good feeling about.
3. I took some cool pictures on the way to the gym from the job interview. I'm very active on Instagram but most of those pictures make their way to Facebook and Twitter as well. Austin is crazy pretty.
4. Today someone pointed out how good I look relative to how I used to look. Some dude at the gym I spotted once said "hi" and said I'd visibly lost a lot of weight. It was cool, we talked about our routines and stuff. Since Gold's Gym is the place I spend the most time at with the exception of my apartment it was just cool to have a nice little conversation.
5. Aside from the conversation that really helped sink in something that I recently noticed about myself: For the first time in my life I actually think I look damn good. Oh sure I still need work. I have a bit more fat than I'd like and could use more muscle. But needing improvement isn't the same as not being good, and my physique is currently good. Just in time for SXSW when I'll be running around, but in general I'd say Fit4RTX has a good start!
Okay, I'm going to play some KotORII now, have a great night folks!

After a horrific launch for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, accompanied by terrible reviews and a brutal public reaction, publisher Activision has decided to delay the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 indefinitely.
The game, which has been panned for its technical issues including a day one patch bigger in size than the game itself, had originally been scheduled to hit the older consoles on November 13, roughly a month and a half after the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. Now, the game will hit store shelves at an undetermined date in the future.
"We are working closely with our developers to address the issues identified by our community," said Activision in a statement. "Our development resources are fully focused on fixes and content updates for PS4 and Xbox One, so we have decided to delay the release of THPS5 on PS3 and X360. We will update the community when we have more specific information about a release date for PS3 and Xbox 360."
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, developed by Robomodo, was meant to mark the triumphant return of the beloved franchise that began all the way back on the PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64 and Sega Dreamcast, but it's pretty clear that that won't be how the game is remembered. Activision even went so far as to name it Pro Skater 5, a moniker the series hasn't used since the franchise began to give each title their own individual subtitle in 2002. It's a pity that such a storied franchise has returned only to be dragged through the mud.

Thursday, July 26, 2007
These two good teams finally exploded at the plate, scoring 23 combined runs, and recording 23 combined hits. Every Sox batter but Youkilis had a hit, and every Sox batter reached base. Manny Ramirez and Wily Mo Pena were the stars of the show. Manny went 3 for 4 with 2 homers, a double, 4 RBI, and 4 runs. Pena went 4 for 5 with a homer, 2 doubles, and a single. He scored twice and knocked in 4. His 3 run shot in the 7th appeared not to mean that much with the Sox winning 12-5 at the time, but after Cleveland scored 4 runs in the bottom of the inning, it proved to be huge.
Tavarez made his first relief appearance of the season. He pitched well in the 5th and 6th, but allowed 4 runs in the 7th. They were all unearned as Lugo made a throwing error to begin the inning, and there were 2 outs at the time the runs scored, making all those runs theoretically wiped out if Lugo had made the play. But Julian still gave up a 2 out walk, followed by a single, followed by a homerun. Nevertheless, he gets the win.
Gabbard pitched well for 4 innings. He only allowed 1 hit in the first 13 batters he faced, a Gutierrez solo homerun. He was given a 9-1 lead in the top of the 5th, but everything came undone for him. Maybe it was the long wait in the top of the inning, maybe with the big lead he lost focus, I don't know.
Even though he didn't pitch great, it's nice to have a guy like Tavarez in the pen, who can go a few innings. We're not going to use Papelbon for more than an inning, we'd like to keep Okajima fresh, Timlin isn't someone you want out there for 2 or 3 innings, Snyder is good, but it's definitely a plus for our bullpen to have Julian out there.
Coco Crisp rebounded nicely from what was an overplayed, and overly hyped baserunning mistake the night before. He went 2 for 5 with an RBI and 2 runs scored. It's nice to see he doesn't read and/or care about what's in the papers
So in this series, the Red Sox took 3 of 4 from the Wild Card leading Indians. I'll take that, especially considering Cleveland was 34-15 (.694) at home coming into the series. We also split games with Sabathia and Carmona, which ain't half bad. We've beaten Cleveland 4 times out of 6 this season. And guess who we would play if the post-season started right now...
In other news, Joel Pineiro accepted an assignment to AAA Pawtucket after clearing waivers. I guess this is good news. Mind as well have the guy available since we're paying him.
Brendan Donnelley began throwing from 90 feet on Wednesday. Terry Francona says that Donnelley is throwing "Not real aggressive...but he's throwing."
Curt Schilling made a rehab start in Toledo for the PawSox. He was very impressive. He went 5 scoreless innings, retiring the first 14 men he faced. He allowed 2 hits, no walks, and struck out 8. He threw 66 pitches, 44 of which were strikes. The stadium radar gun clocked his fastball as high as 93, and it frequently was in the low 90s range. He will make at least one more rehab start at AAA before returning.
It's July 27th tomorrow, and the Red Sox will be making their first appearance at the Fenway Dome in Tampa Bay. Wakefield goes against converted reliever Jason Hammel.
In 1-0 losses, you can look at EVERY single play in the game and say "Well if this was a bit different, then we'd win." If any Red Sox batter hit a homerun in any at-bat, the game gets tied and the Sox might win. If Beckett doesn't allow the solo homerun, the game stays at 0-0. If Crisp doesn't slow down a bit rounding third, he might not get thrown out, and the Sox might have tied.
Coco's getting thrown out might have been the play of the game. There were 2 outs, Crisp was on 2nd, and Ortiz hit a soft grounder to the second baseman, who was playing deep in the overshift. He had no chance at throwing Ortiz out at first, so he threw home. With two outs, Coco was off on contact but he seemed to hesitate a bit on his way home. Victor Martinez caught Barfield's perfect throw, blocked the plate, and may or may not have tagged Crisp out. What matters, though, is that Crisp was called out.
The inning was strange from beginning to end. Cora hit a hard liner, but right at third baseman Casey Blake. Hit just a few inches away, and it's at least a single. Crisp hit the ball much more softly, but right up the middle in no man's land, so he reached on an infield single. Pedroia grounded out. Ortiz hit a very weak groundball. Now, he went 1 for 4 with this infield single being his only hit. If he had gotten a true single, into the outfield, Crisp scores easily and Boston Dirt Dogs isn't making him the goat of the century today. Or let's say Barfield hesitates, or his throw is slightly offline, or the umpire calls Crisp safe, then we aren't bitching and moaning about a hesitation.
I'm one of the most critical Red Sox fans there is. But I'm not all that mad at Coco. He screwed up and slowed down a bit. He made a mistake, let's move on. In 162 games, players will make the occasional mistake. We've all seen Coco's outfield play this season. He's a hustler out there. We've all seen him raise his average from below .200 up near .300 this season. He screwed up, let's move on to the next game.
Let's look at the real reasons we lost this game. We had 7 total baserunners. We struck out 8 times. We grounded into a double play. We had 3 runners thrown out on the basepaths. We went 4 for 27 as a team.
And give credit to Fausto Carmona. He threw a gem. Eight innings, allowed 4 hits, 2 walks, struck out 6, had 11 ground ball outs, and 4 fly outs. He beat us, it's that simple. Beckett pitched great as well. His only real mistake was the homerun. He also went 8 innings, also allowing 4 hits. He walked none and struck out 7. It was one of his best starts of the year, but it was also one of Carmona's as well.
Let's not go nuts about this game. It was a 1-0 game, which always leads to the "We could have won it if..." discussions. But let's consider the previous night's 1-0 win. We would have LOST that if...whatever.
Also, this was the first time two AL teams played 1-0 games against each other, back-to-back, since 1975.

TRS E-Bike Hitch Rack
Customer Reviews
This is the perfect rack for fat tire ebikes. The instructions that come with the bike are terrible but the youtube video that demonstrates assembly is awesome.
Great customer support will be back again thank you. Period
Putting the bike rack together was a bit testy as I am 83 years old and my joints are a bit stiff and uncomfortable. We are happy with the carrier although loading the bikes is a bit challenging without help. We have two RAD City step troughs which weigh in at about 65 lbs each but the rack is up to the task.
