I read an electronic magazine in which there is a report on there is a traditional method that can control ICLs. After reading, I became interested in inrush current limiters. So I searched some related materials and information about this topic. Today I come to this forum to turn to you to discuss my ideas are appropriate. Here are my personal understandings: In the AC / DC converter start moment, because the filter capacitor charging will produce a large inrush current, it is more than the system normal current Times to several times. Surge current will seriously pollute the power supply network, affecting the normal operation of other electronic equipment. Sometimes damage the power switch, fuse, EMI filters, rectifier bridge, filter capacitors, and even printed circuit boards and other components. Sometimes, although no visible damage is seen, recessive damage reduces the device The reliability of this is even worse. In order to improve the input characteristics of switching power supply, improve its reliability, reduce the pollution of the power grid, improve the electronic design The use of the environment must be limited to the surge current. The traditional method of limiting the inrush current is that the power consumption is large, the second surge, and the instantaneous power Can not move and other issues. The new inrush current limiting device, the KJH inrush current limiter, fundamentally solves these problems. It is well known that when the AC / DC converter is powered up, the surge current can be reduced by increasing the loop resistance of the charging capacitor C charging circuit. There are two traditional methods: 1. In the circuit in series with a suitable resistor (the resistance into a negative temperature coefficient thermistor is an improvement), both the surge current can be limited to an acceptable range, without affecting the normal work of the converter; 2. In the circuit in series with a pair of contacts in parallel with a combination of contacts, so that the contact at power on, the resistance in series in the loop to limit the role of inrush current, when the power into a certain state Contact connected, the resistance short circuit to reduce power consumption, to ensure the normal operation of the power supply. Inrush current limiter, which is the use of negative temperature coefficient thermistor and half bridge switch to complete the combination of limiting inrush current function. Ps: Excuse me if I was wrong in words or expressions as I am a green hand in the field of inrush current limiters. I need continual learnings. What is your idea ? Do you agree with my ideas ? Any of your ideas would be highly appreciated. May someone would like to help ? thanks in advance

Of kids and kitties
Recently, I hit a large white cat on Division Street in Nipomo. It was extremely upsetting for my daughter and me.
Uncertain of the extent of the cat's injuries, I covered him with a blanket, except his head, rolled him into my arms and put him in the car. I took him to the dog and cat emergency veterinarian in Arroyo Grande.
What unnecessary trauma for a very lovable cat.
The veterinarian recommended calling the local sheriff for assistance with an injured animal on the road.
Cats are similar to kids and want to go outdoors to play. According to the veterinarian, outdoor cats live 3 to 4 years compared to 15 or more years as an indoor cat.
Please protect your kids, two-legged or four-legged, from vehicles, coyotes, dogs, poisons, etc.
Love always protects the well-being of the one loved. It only takes one tragic moment to encounter an untimely end or to suffer intensely and unnecessarily as this kitty did.
This lovable kitty is now at Animal Services, which can be reached at 781-4400.

Refusing credit
The Tribune article in the business section about the decline of borrowing on credit cards should come as a surprise to no one ("Borrowing declines again in November," Jan. 9).
As soon as the lending industry learned of the Democratic proposed legislation to rein in much of the lenders' abusive behavior toward consumers, they (who gladly took taxpayers' dollars through bailouts) sent all of us with cards a new, arbitrary agreement raising interest and other rates sky high prior to the legislation taking effect.
We were given a choice: Accept their new terms or opt out. I'm sure millions of Americans made the same choice I did ... opt out.
Everyone in this country with a credit card should write his or her respective congressional legislators and insist that the new legislation be amended to force any lender who accepted our money to roll back our rates and terms to their original levels.

Watch for trauma
There has been a lot of comment about deaths from head injuries when an adult thinks all is well and is not checked by a doctor ("Man who declined aid died of head trauma," Jan. 5).
Parents of small children are routinely taught to monitor their child following any blow to the head for 24 hours by checking for alertness and response when sleeping.
Such simple precautions can be followed in the case of anyone, regardless of age.
It is quite common for someone to walk away from an accident only to lose consciousness later from a brain injury. This is exactly what kills an infant in "shaken baby syndrome."
We all need to be aware of symptoms of head injury and remain alert to the possibility of a delayed effect.
Ask a heath care professional's advice or research the Web or medical information books.

Smilelign clear aligners straighten your teeth to give you the smile you've always wanted. By using a series of almost invisible removable aligners, Smilelign lines up your teeth so you can smile with confidence.
Traditionally, metal brackets and ugly wires were the only type of braces available for straightening your teeth. Thanks to our innovative technology, Smilelign clear braces are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.
"The aligners have been great and not interrupted my lifestyle at all! If anything, now they're out, it feels unusual not wearing them!"
Treatment with Smilelign invisible braces is available at orthodontists across the UK. Find a provider near you today, and start your journey towards straight teeth.
Smilelign has been carefully developed by skilled orthodontists, and the treatment has a track record of thousands of happy patients. In comparison with other treatments, Smilelign offers the following benefits:
Each aligner is carefully modelled by our skilled technicians using our innovative software, so Smilelign aligners fit your teeth with minimal discomfort.
The technical process is taken care of by your orthodontist, meaning all you have to do is wear the aligners and keep them clean.
With costs as low as £1000 for simpler cases, Smilelign is amongst the most affordable teeth straightening treatments available.
Designed and implemented by skilled orthodontists, you know that your dental health is in good hands with Smilelign treatment.
Made from clear plastic and moulded perfectly to your teeth, you can feel confident knowing your Smilelign aligners are virtually invisible.
How to get straight teeth with Smilelign
Smilelign consists of a series of virtually invisible braces, or removable 'aligners', that are changed every two to three weeks.
With Smilelign clear braces, treatment is easy and straight-forward. Visit your local Smilelign-trained dentist and they'll do all the work for you.
There are 5 simple steps to getting your perfect smile with Smilelign.
1. Find a provider near you
You can find a local Smilelign clinic here. In addition, your own dentist may also be able to offer Smilelign treatment - we will happily discuss this with them.
2. Visit your dentist to get 3D impressions made
Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth using a putty-type material, or they may take 3D images with an intra-oral scanner.
These methods are painless and take a couple of minutes. We'll use these to plan your case and make sure you're suitable for Smilelign treatment.
3. Give Smilelign a trial-run with a pre-aligner
Our technicians will carefully plan how to achieve your best smile, and you'll get to see what our clear braces can achieve before committing.
A pre-aligner - a passive brace - will be sent to your dentist. This is for you to check that our slim-line braces are the right treatment for you. You can check how they feel, how easy it is to remove them and how simple it is to keep up with your oral hygiene before you decide to go ahead with treatment.
4. Begin wearing your custom-made aligners
When you're happy, your dentist will order your custom-made aligners for your treatment. Your dentist will monitor your treatment as you progress through the aligners.
5. Keep your teeth in place with a retainer
At the end of treatment, you should use a retainer to keep your teeth in their new position. Your dentist can advise further on this - recommending a fixed or removable option.

It's been a while since I wanted to try Estiatorio Milos, the upscale restaurant of Executive Chef Costas Spiliadis, that has locations not only in New York, but also Montreal, Miami, Las Vegas or Athens. And I was not disappointed by this place specialized in fresh seafood. I could say that it is a beautiful place, but it would be in reference only of their downstairs dining room as they were undergoing renovations and their main dining room was therefore closed. Still, I loved the slick white theme of the decor. What surprised me though was the number of wait staff who were running around like bees, despite the fact that the kitchen was slow to deliver. Still, I should point out the good service that is anyway expected in this kind of places.
I started off my meal with a cocktail and chose one from their menu, the Scarlett O, made with Stoli orange vodka, Scarlett orange purée and Grand Marnier, a cocktail perfectly balanced and a bit refreshing.
For the meal, I settled for a glass of Biblia Chora 'Sole' Pinot Noir that was good.
Interestingly, before ordering, they brought some grilled bread and olive oil, and I thought that was it. But then, after taking the order, they brought three spreads with some pita (not enough pita, but they graciously brought some more). At that point I was thinking: it is good that we did not order their spread sampler (aka mezzo platter) or more food, although I wonder if it was not a mishap now that I am thinking. It had hummus, taramasalata (made with tarama and fish roe) and htipili (cheese spread made with peppers).
And it might not have been my lucky day; the first choice was zucchini flowers stuffed with three cheeses: they did not have any. So I switched to the sardines: they did not have any either. So, we decided to have only one appetizer instead of two, being a bit disappointed that they did not tell us upfront what they could not serve. Anyway, the octopus served to us grilled with a fava bean spread was delicious, perfectly cooked and delightfully charred.
Then came the best dish of the entire meal: the loup de mer or European bass that you may simply know as branzino. At Estiatorio Milos, they receive fish daily and they can either cook it with olive oil and lemon (that we got) or cooked in the oven with herbs and sea salt. And their selection is quite impressive, although I am sure, like the sardines, they may not have everything written on the menu, availability depending on their fish delivery that day. The loup de mer was amazing: this two pound beast was nicely cut in filets, perfectly cooked and I did not regret the choice of the olive oil and lemon sauce that let the fish shine. I should mention the coarse sea salt that gave a nice bite and enhanced even more the taste of the fish.
Of course, the second entree had to be lamb chops: I hardly resist lamb chops or a lamb dish at a Greek restaurant, my favorite dish being the Lamb Yuvetsi. The lamb was served with fries that surprised me a bit, thinking that they would probably serve it with grilled vegetables or some healthy option. Anyway, it was great: well cooked medium, it was juicy and nicely fatty.
Last was dessert and it was a classic: baklava. I was a bit surprise at first because it was small, but it was worth it: very good, it was slightly crunchy, with lots of honey in/on it.
This was a delicious dinner and I was amazed by the food at Estiatorio Milos. This is definitely a place I recommend if you would like a fancy dinner as it is a bit pricey. I bet the setting of their dining room after their renovation will be outstanding. Well, I will have to check it out!
Enjoy (I did)!

The Regency at Bolton received approval to modify its comprehensive permit to allow residents younger than 55 to own units in the development.
The Zoning Board of Appeals decision recently allows 20 percent of the units to be occupied without age restrictions, except that no one under the age of 18 can be a permanent resident.
The other 80 percent of units must have at least one household member over the age of 55.
The project had sought to modify the restrictions given changing market conditions and people under age 55 who had expressed interest in buying a unit.
The federal government allows the restriction on under-18 residents if 80 percent are restricted to over 55, Town Planner Jennifer Atwood Burney said.
A traffic study also showed no change in the expected impact of car trips from altering the age criteria for 20 percent of the units.
Regency must now wait for the state Department of Environmental Protection to rule on whether a septic capacity change would be required. If it were required, Regency would have to consider changing its plans, which could mean redesigning for increased capacity.

Sam Warburton will captain the British and Irish Lions for a second consecutive series after coach Warren Gatland unveiled his 41-man squad for the daunting tour of New Zealand this summer. The Wales flanker beat-off competition from fellow-countryman Alun Wyn Jones and Ireland's Rory Best to become just the second man to skipper the team in two tours after Martin Johnson in 1997 and 2001.
The Cardiff Blues back row forward captained the Lions in the first and second Tests against Australia four years ago, but injury denied him a chance of playing in the decider in Sydney. Jones, who has since replaced the 28-year-old as Wales captain, stood in for the third test and joins a squad high on power and physical prowess.
The headline exclusion from the squad is the England captain Dylan Hartley, who joins the likes of Chris Robshaw and Steve Borthwick in being omitted despite being the leader of the richest northern hemisphere nation. The fulcrum of the Red Rose team who won successive Six Nations have also missed out including Joe Launchbury and George Ford, as well the fit-again Robshaw and James Haskell.
"We're very happy about the quality of the squad and the group of the players we've put together," said Gatland. "It has probably been the hardest one we've had [to select] but we think it's the strongest one. There has been healthy debate about the squad and it now time to get behind the team going to New Zealand.
"The guys have said before that the competition for places, there has to be guys fighting for test spots. That is what makes us pretty excited about the quality of the squad going to New Zealand. This will be toughest tour. Previous tours the early games look to be easier but if you look at the quality of the teams that is why we've settled a few more names to handle the quality of the sides we've coming up against."
British and Irish Lions fixtures [8:35am BST kick-off time unless otherwise stated]
Saturday 3 June: Provincial Union XV - Toll Stadium, Whanharei
Wednesday 7 June – Blues – Eden Park, Auckland
Saturday 10 June – Crusaders – AMI Stadium, Christchurch
Tuesday 13 June – Highlanders – Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin
Saturday 17 June – New Zealand Maori – International Stadium, Rotorua
Tuesday 20 June – Chiefs– Waikato Stadium, Hamilton
Saturday 24 June – New Zealand– First Test, Eden Park, Auckland
Tuesday 27 June – Hurricanes – Westpac Stadium, Wellington
Saturday 1 July – New Zealand – Second Test, Westpac Stadium, Wellington
Saturday 8 July – New Zealand – Third Test, Eden Park, Auckland
Among the surprise inclusions by Gatland is England pair Ben Te'o and Kyle Sinckler - who have made one international start between them. Ross Moriarty and Jared Payne can also consider themselves fortunate to make the trip. Jonathan Joseph is selected, having scored a hat-trick against Italy in the Six Nations, despite initial suggests he would be omitted. There is no place for 30-year-old Jamie Roberts or Ireland's Jamie Heaslip both whom stared four years ago.
Littered in Gatland's squad are players who made little impact during the spring but whose physicality could give them the edge when faced with the double defending world champions, who have not lost a series against the Lions since 1971. England's Jack Nowell and Joe Marler, Wales' Dan Biggar, Jonathan Davies and Taulupe Faletau are all been included despite coming under pressure from in-form competition.
There is also no place for Garry Ringrose despite his form for Ireland and Leinster. Scotland scrum half Grieg Laidlaw, injured during the Championship, misses out too in a wafer-thin offering from north of the border with Stuart Hogg and Tommy Seymour the only Scots enlisted.
British and Irish Lions 2017 squad
Forwards: Rory Best, Dan Cole, Taulepe Faletau, Tadhq Furlong, Jamie George, Iain Henderson, Maro Itoje, Alun Wyn Jones, George Kruis, Courtney Lawes, Joe Marler, Jack McGrath, Ross Moriarty, Sean O'Brien, Peter O'Mahony, Ken Owens, Kyle Sinckler, CJ Stander, Justin Tipuric, Mako Vunipola, Billy Vunipola, Sam Warburton.

The Rays drafted Calhoun in the 17th round of the 2013 draft, but he opted to go to college instead. He played his freshman year at Arizona, then went to the Cape Cod League that summer. He returned to campus in the fall, but after being dismissed for academic reasons, Calhoun transferred to Yavapai (Ariz.) JC in 2015 and led all junior college hitters with 31 home runs. After the season, Calhoun signed with the Dodgers for $347,500 as a fourth-round pick and immediately showed his bat would translate. In 2017, Calhoun was continuing to rake at Triple-A when the Dodgers dealt him to the Rangers as the centerpiece of the Yu Darvish trade. He stayed in the Pacific Coast League after the trade, then made his big league debut as a September callup. Calhoun has a smaller, stocky frame, but frequent reminders he's too small or too slow help fuel his motivation. Calhoun is one of the most talented hitting prospects in game, with an outstanding combination of barrel control and power. He has great rhythm and balance in the batter's box, quick hands and powerful hip rotation. He has good hand-eye coordination and a compact swing that stays on plane through the hitting zone for a long time. He has great plate coverage, with little problem handling premium velocity or barreling breaking pitches. He seldom swings and misses and struck out just 11 percent of the time at Triple-A. He hit 32 home runs in 2017 and could be a 35-plus home run threat in the big leagues. Calhoun's stature gives him a smaller strike zone to cover, and he doesn't expand it by chasing much. He tried playing second base with the Dodgers, but he's a well below-average runner with a below-average arm who didn't show much range at the position and often struggled to make routine plays. Calhoun showed some signs of progress in 2017, but in June the Dodgers started getting him work in left field. After joining the Rangers, Calhoun played left field almost exclusively. The Rangers still plan to give Calhoun reps at second base, but Rougned Odor will force him to develop into an adequate left fielder. Calhoun will either DH or give away some runs with his defense, but he will create plenty of them with his bat. He's ready for an everyday job in Texas.
Taveras, a cousin of former big league center fielder Willy Taveras, signed for $2.1 million as a 16-year-old in 2015 and has shown the most upside of any prospect in the Rangers' system. Pushed to the low Class A South Atlantic League as an 18-year-old, Taveras' performance was modest but he still stood out as one of the league's premium prospects. Taveras has a chance for five average to plus tools at a premium position. He has a simple, balanced swing from both sides, using his hands well to generate bat speed and a clean swing path. Taveras makes frequent contact and stays through the ball well, which allows him to use the whole field, and he could develop into a plus hitter. His strike-zone discipline continued to improve in 2017 and he started to flash more pop, with a lean, projectable frame that should help him develop average power. Taveras glides around center field with plus speed, good instincts and quick reads off the bat to go with a plus arm that's accurate. Taveras has more risk than Willie Calhoun and is still a few years away, but if it all comes together he has a chance to be a cornerstone player and perennial all-star candidate. His aggressive path continues in 2018 at high Class A Down East.
A fiery competitor who pitched for USA Baseball's 18U National Team in 2016, Crouse passed up a Southern California commitment and signed for $1.45 million as a second-round pick, No. 66 overall, in 2017. He completely overmatched Rookie-level Arizona League hitters in his pro debut after signing, allowing seven hits and one earned run in 20 innings while recording 30 strikeouts. Crouse has the most upside of any pitcher in the Rangers organization. He has great arm speed on a power fastball that sits 93-96 mph and can reach 99, with Crouse cruising in that upper range in short stints in the AZL. His slider has tight spin, sharp bite and two-plane depth, giving him a putaway pitch. Crouse didn't throw his firm changeup much in high school so it's still below-average, but it shows promise with its late fading action. Crouse's delivery certainly isn't free and easy, with long arm action, a short stride and a violent finish across his body. However, Crouse repeats his arm slot well and is able to locate his fastball to both sides of the plate, with his long arms and legs flying at the hitter helping to enhance his deception. Crouse has frontline starter potential, though he's at least a few years away from reaching the majors. Low Class A Hickory is next.
A first-round pick, No. 30 overall, in 2016, Ragans stayed back in extended spring training before pitching in the short-season Northwest League, where he ranked as the league's top prospect. Hitters frequently find themselves off balance against Ragans, who throws off their timing with a promising fastball/changeup combination. Ragans throws his fastball at 89-93 mph and touches 95. It's solid velocity from the left side and plays up because of his fastball life, as its high spin rate allows him to get swings and misses when he elevates. Ragans fools batters with a plus changeup in the low-80s that has excellent separation off of his fastball. His curveball was more of a weapon in high school, but it's now a fringe-average pitch that's soft and sometimes loopy that he needs to tighten. Ragans creates good angle and hides the ball well in his delivery by keeping his front side closed, but he has to do a better job of repeating his mechanics because his control lags behind. Ragans has the stuff to be a mid-rotation starter if he can throw more strikes. He's ready for his first full-season test with low Class A Hickory.
Mendez reached Triple-A in 2016 and pitched in two games out of the big league bullpen at the end of the season, but the Rangers sent him to Double-A Frisco in 2017 to have him focus on fastball command. He threw a career-high 150 innings, an important step for his durability given his previous injuries, and came back up to Texas as a September callup. Mendez's bread-and-butter is his 80-84 changeup, a plus pitch he relies on heavily to catch hitters leaning out front for either a whiff or soft contact. For the first 10 starts of the season, the Rangers told Mendez he couldn't throw his changeup until he got to a two-strike count. Mendez already had good control, but the Rangers wanted to emphasize using his 90-95 fastball and hitting his spots with that pitch. The plan worked, as Mendez threw more strikes and missed even more bats in the second half. He throws a fringe-average slider and an occasional curveball that's below-average, but he mostly leans on his fastball/changeup combination. Mendez showed promising signs that he can handle a starter's workload and the Rangers plan to keep him in that role. He should compete for a spot in Texas' rotation in 2018 and could settle in as a back-of-the-rotation starter.
It's the seventh Prospect Handbook appearance for Guzman, who signed for $3.45 million as a 16-year-old in 2011. Guzman spent all of 2017 with Triple-A Round Rock, where he set a career-high walk rate and cut down on his strikeout rate from 2016. Guzman has a huge frame but a hit-over-power profile. Earlier in his career, Guzman got himself in trouble when he got away from his strengths and tried to yank the ball for power, but in 2017 he stayed with a balanced, all-fields approach. Gaining more hitting knowledge has helped and so has being able to learn how to keep his long limbs in sync to maintain a repeatable swing. Guzman has a big strike zone to cover but doesn't swing and miss much and has a sound eye for discerning balls and strikes. Guzman has average raw power, which is less than the traditional first-base profile, never topping more than 16 home runs in a minor league season. He has made significant defensive strides at first baseman, where he's a huge target and turns errant throws from his infielders into outs, but his range and mobility are limited. The Rangers used Joey Gallo at first base down the stretch in 2017, so Guzman could end up starting 2018 back in Triple-A but should make his major league debut at some point this season.
The Twins drafted Cody in the supplemental second round in 2015, but he returned to Kentucky instead for his senior season and went to the Rangers in the sixth round of the 2016 draft. Cody became one of the Rangers' biggest developmental success stories in 2017, pitching well at two Class A levels. Cody has an extra-large frame at 6-foot-7, 245 pounds and drops the ball downhill with a lively fastball from 93-97 mph. He has a plus slider that comes out of his hand looking like a fastball until it snaps off at the end with late tilt and sharp action. Cody could lean heavily on his slider to get outs at the lower levels, but the Ranges instead forced him to pitch only with his fastball the first time through the order early in the season to help him improve his fastball command and learn how to attack hitters. They took off those restrictions in the second half, and Cody posted a 1.32 ERA with a 76-20 strikeout-to-walk mark over 61.1 innings in his final 10 starts. His changeup improved in 2017, but it's still a fringe-average pitch he needs to develop. Cody has the stuff to become a No. 3 or 4 starter. He'll likely return to high Class A Down East to begin 2018, but he should be in the upper levels soon and be ready to help the major league club in 2019.
Signed for $500,000 in 2015, Aparicio was just 18 in 2017, but he played so well in extended spring training the Rangers decided to push him to low Class A Hickory in May. He stumbled there but he looked comfortable when he went down to play at short-season Spokane in the college-heavy Northwest League. Aparicio's all-around game awareness is well beyond his years. His speed and arm strength are both fringe-average, but even without explosive athleticism, he can handle center field because of his top-shelf instincts. Other center fielders have more closing speed, but Aparicio has a quick first step, gets excellent jumps off the bat and takes sharp routes to the ball. Aparicio is a high-contact hitter with good hand-eye coordination and a short, efficient swing. He gained more awareness of the timing with his leg kick as the season progressed and showed a line-drive, all-fields approach. His power mostly goes for doubles right now, with a chance to grow into 10-15 homers. Aparicio is ready to return to Hickory in 2018. He could develop into an everyday center fielder along the lines of Gerardo Parra, albeit with less arm strength.
In a move that shouldn't surprise any Rangers fan, the team drafted a raw, premium athlete out of high school, selecting Thompson with one of their first-round picks, No. 26 overall, in 2017 and signing him for $2.1 million to pass up an Alabama commitment. At 19, Thompson was among of the oldest high school players drafted, and he held his own in his first taste of the Rookie-level Arizona League. Thompson was a standout quarterback in high school who is now committed to baseball full-time. With broad shoulders and a high waist, Thompson is a plus-plus runner with a plus arm who projects as a center fielder, although his reads and routes off the bat need improvement. Thompson has plus bat speed and average raw power, but he has a lot of work to do to smooth things out at the plate. He has an aggressive approach and will swing and miss, though he kept that manageable in his pro debut. Thompson probably won't fly through the system, but he has some of the best tools in the system at a premium position if everything clicks. He has a chance to see low Class A Hickory in 2018.
After Seise made an impression on scouts in high school for his defensive prowess at shortstop, the Rangers selected him with the second of their two first-round picks, No. 29 overall, in the 2017 draft and signed him for $2 million to pass up a Central Florida commitment. Seise hit well in the Rookie-level Arizona League, then struggled when the Rangers aggressively promoted him to short-season Spokane. Seise is a gifted defender with quick feet, soft hands and a plus arm. A tick above-average runner, Seise is an instinctive shortstop with a nose for the ball and good range to both sides. There is more risk in Seise's hitting ability, which he showed by striking out at a 26 percent clip in his pro debut. Seise has to improve his balance and timing at the plate to make more frequent contact, but he has good pop for the position. When he connects, it's usually loud contact, with average raw power that could tick up with physical maturity. If Seise can keep his strikeout rate manageable, he could develop into an everyday shortstop with good defense and power. He should make his full-season debut in 2018 with low Class A Hickory.
Signed for $32,000 as a 30th-round pick from a Long Island high school, Palumbo did little to stand out in his first three seasons. That changed in 2016, as he moved from the low Class A Hickory bullpen to the starting rotation at midseason. Palumbo was the talk of the high Class A Carolina League in April, but after just three starts he went down for the year with Tommy John surgery and isn't expected to return to game action until June 2018. Had Palumbo stayed healthy all season, he could have had a case as the organization's top pitching prospect. His fastball parks in the low-90s and reaches 96 mph, with his short arm stroke and crossfire delivery adding deception. Palumbo throws a lot of strikes with his fastball and misses a lot of bats with his curveball, a plus pitch with tight spin and sharp, late action. Palumbo's changeup is a fringe-average pitch with average potential, but he mostly has leaned on his fastball/curveball combination. Palumbo looked like a potential midrotation starter early in the 2017 season, but the TJ clouds his status and he won't get a full season's workload until 2019 at the earliest.
The Rangers already had one superlative defensive catcher in the system with Jose Trevino, their sixth-round pick in 2014. Three years later, the Rangers drafted Whatley, who won the Johnny Bench award as college baseball's top catcher, out of Oral Roberts in the third round and signed him for $517,100. Whatley is a potential plus defender and one of the most polished defensive catchers in the 2017 draft. He's an advanced receiver with soft hands, with an above-average arm and quick feet that help him get rid of the ball quickly to control the running game. He earns praise for his game calling, leadership skills and high-energy style that should endear him to managers. Whatley's looked better than expected in the short-season Northwest League, where he put together consistent quality at-bats with a mature approach. He worked counts and gained a better understanding of how to control the timing of the pre-pitch movement in his swing to make frequent contact and drive the ball with fringe-average power. Whatley's defense could carry him to a backup role, but has more offensive upside than Trevino and could develop into starter.
The Phillies signed Tocci for $759,000 on his 16th birthday in 2011. They left him off the 40-man roster after the 2016 season and he didn't get picked in the Rule 5 draft. They did the same thing after the 2017 season, but this time the White Sox picked him in the Rule 5 draft and traded him to the Rangers for cash considerations. Since the time he's signed, Tocci has been an instinctive player with an extremely skinny frame. That's still the case, as Tocci has been slow to add strength, but he's a smooth center fielder who gets good jumps off the bat with average speed and arm strength. Tocci's swing is sound and he has good bat-to-balls skills, with an approach geared to hit the ball to the middle of the field and the opposite way. He would benefit from a more patient approach to draw more walks, especially since he has minimal power. Tocci didn't play winter ball after the 2017 season, instead focusing on getting stronger, which remains the key for him taking the next step forward. The Rangers are counting on him stepping in as a fourth outfielder in 2018.
Robinson signed with the Rangers out of high school in 2010 and would have been a minor league free agent after the 2016 season, but the Rangers added him to the 40-man roster. In his eighth season with the organization, Robinson made his major league debut in 2017 on April 5, went back down to Triple-A, then returned to Texas at the end of June. Robinson is a versatile player who can play multiple positions and chips in value in different ways. He's a selective hitter who consistently walks at a high clip, including his 14 percent rate in Triple-A in 2017. His power is a tick above-average, with the ability to drive the ball in the air for home runs to all fields. His strikeout rate is high, a combination of his patience turning into passivity at times along with the swing-and-miss in his game. With average speed and arm strength, Robinson doesn't play shortstop but he does play steady defense just about everywhere else, including third, second and all three outfield spots, though he's stretched thin in center field. Robinson's versatility should keep him around the big league club in 2018 as on offensive-oriented utility man with value as a lefthanded bat off the bench who can occasionally fill-in as a starter when needed.
Reed put up monster numbers in college, but those numbers came at Itawamba (Miss.) junior college. He led NJCAA Division II in batting average, slugging and on-base percentage in 2017, then signed with the Rangers for $135,000 as an 8th-round pick. He annihilated the Rookie-level Arizona League in his debut, with a 1.072 OPS that would have led the league had he had enough plate appearances to qualify. Reed is a hulking righthanded power hitter, with some scouts giving him 70 raw power on the 20-80 scale. Reed can put on an impressive show during batting practice, but he also has a short swing that helps him make a lot of contact with good plate coverage in games. He's a patient hitter who walked in 15 percent of his plate appearances in the AZL. Reed is adept at driving the ball to the opposite field, and even more power should show up in games as he learns which pitches to turn on to his pull side. Reed has little speed and his defense is below-average. Reed will head to low Class A Hickory in 2018, where he could have a breakout year.
Garcia was a small and slightly built as a 15-year-old, but over the next year he got stronger and improved on both sides of the ball to become a player several clubs considered the top catcher on the international market. He signed in 2016 for $800,000, and while he showed some positive signs in his pro debut especially during extended spring training, he mostly struggled while playing in the Dominican Summer League. Garcia, who made the move from shortstop to catching full-time a year and a half before signing, threw out 41 percent of basestealers. He has an above-average, accurate arm with a clean throwing stroke and has quick feet to get rid of the ball quickly. He has soft hands and receives well. Garcia has the components to hit, with a simple stroke, solid contact skills and a mature, patient approach. Garcia doesn't have much power though and probably never will, but he will need to get stronger to do more damage on contact and become more than a singles hitter. The Rookie-level Arizona League should be the next step for Garcia in 2018.
Hernandez was born in Memphis, which is where his father, Fernando, pitched in Double-A in 1996 before making two big league relief appearances for Detroit the next year. Hernandez grew up in the Dominican Republic and signed for $300,000, with a fastball that has climbed since then. Hernandez throws 92-95 mph and can reach 98 mph. His fastball has an effective combination of velocity and movement, with good armside run and a high spin rate that he took advantage of last year by elevating it to get swings-and-misses up in the zone, which helped his strikeout rate jump from 17 percent in 2016 to 23 percent in 2017. His slider is an average pitch and his changeup flashes average at times but it's less consistent. He can also flip over a curveball early in the count. Hernandez throws across his body, which creates deception, but can also impede his control. Some of that may stem from overthrowing, a habit he tends to get into when he's in a jam or goes through the order a second time. Some scouts see Hernandez moving to the bullpen, though others see a potential back-end starter.
The Rangers continue to have high hopes for Martin, who has shown his potential in flashes, including seven scoreless, no-hit innings with 15 strikeouts in the high Class A California League playoffs in 2016. Martin is yet to put it all together for a breakout season quite yet, though, some of which has been due to his health. Hip issues in 2015, a sprained elbow ligament in 2016 and an oblique injury that sidelined Martin for most of May and June in 2017 have prevented him from throwing more than 100 innings in a season. His fastball sits at 90-92 mph and can touch 95 with late riding life. His curveball is an above-average pitch with tight spin, good shape and power at 80-82 mph. He mixes a changeup that's still firm and below-average, along with an occasional slider/cutter. Aside from staying healthy, one of the keys for Martin's development will be his ability to sync up his delivery and find a consistent release point. Martin has worked to get the arc out of the back of his motion to try to get his lower half into his mechanics more, but with his long limbs his delivery will always require some maintenance. Double-A Frisco is next for Martin, a potential No. 4 starter.
The Rangers have had success identifying off-the-radar pitchers in South Carolina. They signed righthander Carl Edwards with their 48th-round pick in 2011 and they got Pelham for $40,000 in the 33rd round in 2015. Pelham was so raw that he walked more than a batter per inning in 2016, but in 2017 he moved to the bullpen full-time and took off, punctuating his season with a pair of shutout innings in the high Class A Carolina League playoffs where his fastball sat at 97 mph. Pelham has an extra-large frame and a huge fastball from the left side, parking at 95-96 mph and touching 99 with downhill angle and great extension out front. Pelham can blow his fastball by hitters and also gets a high swing-and-miss rate on his slider, which became a plus pitch last year. Pelham still needs to improve his location, but he already made huge strides with his control last year but cutting his walk rate from 22 percent in 2016 to 10 percent in 2017. The arrows are pointing in the right direction for Pelham, who has the stuff to pitch high-leverage relief innings.
Rodriguez was one of the top amateur prospects in Venezuela in the 2017 class, standing out more for his game savvy than his raw tools or physicality. Rodriguez has a small, wiry build and a good performance record in games. Rodriguez is a switch-hitter with a quick, compact stroke, with high-contact skills to spray the ball all over the field without many strikeouts. Rodriguez has a good sense for the strike zone, with an offensive skill set tilted more toward getting on base than power, as he's mostly a singles hitter and probably won't ever be much of a home run threat. An above-average runner with basestealing savvy, Rodriguez is an athletic shortstop who fields his position well with a good internal clock. A lot of scouts expect Rodriguez to eventually slide over to second base due to his below-average arm and throwing mechanics. The Rangers have been sending their top July 2 signings to the Dominican Summer League in recent years, with Rodriguez likely to follow that same path.
Gardewine was a starter who helped take his Kaskaskia team to the Junior College World Series in 2013, then signed with the Rangers for $162,300 as a seventh-round pick. Gardweine remained a starter for the Rangers through 2015, then moved to the bullpen the next year. He broke through in 2017 with an excellent season for Double-A Frisco and jumped to the big league bullpen for his major league debut at the end of August. Gardewine has quick arm speed and a plus fastball at 93-96 mph. He's not tall, but he generates downhill plane and also has a high spin rate on his fastball to get swings-and-misses when he rides it up in the zone. His strikeout rate jumped from 28 percent in high Class A in 2016 to 34 percent in Double-A in 2017, and the key was his plus slider. It's a power slider Gardewine usually fires at 88-90 mph, but he can change speeds on that pitch too and often doubles up on it, landing it for a strike or using it as a chase pitch. He has a firm changeup but rarely throws it. Gardewine throws across his body and usually throws strikes, but got into trouble in the big leagues when his fastball control escaped him. Gardewine should open 2018 in the big league bullpen, with the stuff to stick around as a middle reliever.
Morgan repeated the high Class A level in 2017 at the Rangers' new Down East affiliate in the Carolina League, but he did so while having to learn a new position. Morgan had experimented with catching at instructional league in 2015 and 2016, and in 2017 the Rangers had him rotating between shortstop and catcher, with 36 games behind the plate but most of his time at shortstop. Morgan missed a month in June with a tight hamstring but got extra work catching upper-level pitching after the season in the Arizona Fall League. It's been difficult for Morgan to learn catching while playing it only part time, but the Rangers like the versatility of having him at multiple positions. Morgan has a contact-oriented swing and a good eye for the strike zone, though he wasn't as selective with his approach as he has shown in the past. Morgan doesn't have much power but has enough to pull 8-12 home runs over the fence. Morgan doesn't have the range to stick at shortstop, but his hands, feet and slightly above-average arm would work well at second or third base. He's shown promising signs behind the plate, but he understandably has a ways to go to stick there. Morgan is slated to move up to Double-A Frisco, where he will continue to work on his catching and bounce around the infield.
Perez hit well in Cuba's junior national leagues, earning a spot on the country's 18U World Cup team that played in Taiwan in 2013. Perez played briefly in Cuba's top league, Serie Nacional, before leaving the country and signing with the Rangers for $1.14 million in September 2016. He hit well in his pro debut in the low Class A South Atlantic League, but he scuffled upon a promotion to high Class A Down East. Perez is a strong, physical player with plus raw power, and he uses the whole field and is adept at working the ball toward right-center. His strikeouts were manageable, but he has a power-over-hit profile and got into bad habits with his swing in the second half, possibly due to fatigue as he played more games in a season than he ever did in Cuba. A below-average runner, Perez split time between third base, first base and the outfield corners in 2017. The Rangers are optimistic he can handle third base, but he's not a natural defender at the position. Perez moves well enough to play in the outfield with a solid-average arm that works in right field. He likely returns to Down East to start 2018.
Gonzalez was one of the top international shortstop prospects in 2015, when he signed with the Rockies for $1.3 million. After signing, Gonzalez kept growing, to the point where the Rockies pushed him out to center field. Gonzalez was hitting well in the Rookie-level Pioneer League last year when the Rangers acquired him on Aug. 23 as the player to be named later, completing the trade deadline deal for Jonathan Lucroy. Gonzalez is a smart player with good hitting actions, but it has and will continue to take time for him keep his long arms in sync and on time with his swing. He did a better job with his timing and getting into a better hitting position in 2017, dropping his Pioneer League strikeout rate from 32 percent in 2016 to 25 percent last year. Gonzalez has good bat speed and added significant bulk over the offseason, so there should be more thump coming than the mostly gap power he has shown so far. Gonzalez is huge for a center fielder, so whether he stays there long term is in question, but he has the tools to play there for now with slightly above-average speed and a plus arm. Gonzalez is headed to low Class A Hickory next, where he might rotate around the outfield with Miguel Aparicio also there.
Alexy was committed to Radford, but the Dodgers lured him away with a $597,500 signing bonus as an 11th-round pick in 2016. The Dodgers kept a restrictive workload on Alexy, who threw more than five innings for them just once last season before they sent him to the Rangers at the trade deadline along with Willie Calhoun and infielder Brendon Davis in the Yu Darvish deal. Alexy has a full windup with an aggressive, up-tempo delivery. It's made it difficult for him to repeat his mechanics and throw strikes, but he also misses a lot of bats with a 29 percent strikeout rate in 2017. Alexy isn't overpowering, but he can get swings-and-misses with a low-90s fastball and with his best pitch, a curveball that flashes plus. He shows feel for a changeup, though that's still below-average. Alexy is athletic and he's added 15 pounds since joining the Rangers, so the additional strength could potentially help him keep his delivery together more consistently. Throwing more strikes will be key for Alexy, who should move up to high Class A Down East in 2018 and could eventually slot in to the back of a rotation.
Speas checks off a lot of traditional scouting boxes, but he's still a raw project the Rangers are working to mold. In seven starts last year with short-season Spokane, Speas posted a 10.89 ERA with more walks (17) than strikeouts (16) in 19 innings. Once he moved to the bullpen, Speas was still wild but found far more success, throwing 14.2 scoreless innings with a 29-8 K-BB mark. The move to the bullpen isn't permanent--the Rangers will likely either start him or use him in a piggyback plan for their low Class A Hickory rotation in 2018--but it's a role that fit Speas well and could be in his future. Getting more innings as a starter will benefit Speas, an outstanding athlete with long arms and legs he's working to sync up in his delivery to throw more strikes. He has good arm action and has an explosive fastball from 93-97 mph. His slider is a fringe-average pitch but it played up out of the bullpen when he threw it with more power. Speas has a changeup too but it's still in its early stages.
After signing for $100,000 in 2014, Tejeda flashed breakout signals when the Rangers promoted him to short-season Spokane in 2016 and he smashed eight home runs in just 23 games. Tejeda didn't carry that success over to low Class A Hickory in 2017, with a lot of swing-and-miss, especially early in the season. Tejeda's swing has a lot of moving parts and often gets long, but the Rangers emphasized the importance of trusting his hands and focusing on driving the ball to the middle of the field. Tejeda's strikeout rate dropped from 34 percent in the first half to 25 percent in the second half, and Tejeda finished the year by hitting .293/.350/.500 in August. He's an aggressive hitter who is still learning to recognize breaking pitches, but he can ambush a fastball and is a 20-homer threat. An average runner, Tejeda's plus arm is a weapon, but he's still cleaning up his footwork and first step, and his range is a touch short for what's ideal at the position. Tejeda has a chance to stick there but could end up at second or third base. He will likely go to high Class A Down East to open 2018.
Trevino is a potential plus-plus defender who is considered by scouts to be one of the best defenders in the minors. Trevino allowed just three passed balls in 99 games and threw out 41 percent of basestealers. Trevino doesn't have a cannon arm--it's slightly above-average--but it plays way up because his quick feet help him transfer and release the ball swiftly, with consistently on-target throws. Pitchers and managers love Trevino for his game-calling, leadership skills and the way he handles a pitching staff. His blocking and receiving skills are both above-average too. Trevino's defense could help him carve out a decade-long career as a backup, but even in that role he will have to show more life at the plate. Trevino doesn't have a pure swing but he is a high-contact hitter who struck out in just 10 percent of his plate appearances. He has to become more selective, both to draw more walks and so that he's swinging at pitches he can drive instead of just putting the ball in play for weak contact. He's not a power hitter but has enough pop to his pull side to hit 10-15 home runs. Added to the 40-man roster after the season, Trevino should go to Triple-A in 2018 and could make his major league debut by the end of the year.
Ibanez was the youngest player on Cuba's 2013 World Baseball Classic team, then signed with the Rangers two years later for $1.6 million. Ibanez spent most of his first season in 2016 with Double-A Frisco, but he repeated the Texas League in 2017 and didn't take the next step forward in his development at the plate. Ibanez is a steady player whose tool box has a lot of 40s and 50s on the 20-80 scouting scale. He's an offensive-minded prospect who puts together quality at-bats with a short swing and good bat-to-ball skills. He got away from his swing at times last year, causing him to get underneath too many balls for easy outs instead of staying with his line-drive approach. His power is below-average with a chance for 10-15 home runs. Ibanez is a below-average runner with a fringe-average arm who fits best at second base, where he can make the routine plays. Triple-A Round Rock is the next step for Ibanez.
The 2017 season was a win for Matuella, simply because he stayed healthy all year. That has been an obstacle for Matuella, who was diagnosed with a chronic back condition while at Duke in the summer of 2014 and had Tommy John in April 2015. Matuella never threw more than 60 innings in a season in college, but the Rangers signed him for $2 million as a third-round pick that year. Matuella rehabbed and pitched one game in 2016 with short-season Spokane, but he felt elbow pain and shut it down the rest of the year. So while Matuella's overall numbers were modest, he checked off the box for the organization's primary goal for him last year. The next step is to try to get all of his pitches working in the same start. His fastball ranged from 92-98 mph depending on the night. His curveball and changeup all flashed plus throughout the season, but rarely in the same outing and with a lot of inconsistency, no surprise given Matuella's multi-year layoff. The Rangers want to keep Matuella as a starter, though given his medical history, a relief role seems like a better bet. The 2018 season will be a big step for Matuella, who's headed for High Class A Down East.

Takeyasu T. Onaga
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Private First Class Takeyasu Thomas Onaga (ASN: 30105347), United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving with Company I, 3d Battalion, 442d Regimental Combat Team, attached to the 36th Infantry Division, on 29 October 1944, near Epinal, France. While searching for a vantage point from which to fire his bazooka, an enemy shell burst in his vicinity, toppling a tree upon his comrade and fracturing his arm. Private Onaga stood up in the face of the enemy fire, lifted the tree and enabled the injured man to crawl free. Moving forward he sighted an enemy machine gun 10 to 15 yards from him, and after crawling to a flank position threw a hand grenade which killed the gunner. As he prepared to throw another grenade he was wounded in the neck by a sniper. Instead of calling for help he ran for a distance of 50 yards to a medical aid man and while receiving treatment died of his wound. His actions, without regard for his own safety, reflect great credit on himself and the Armed Forces of the United States.

Woah.. Where do we begin? How about with a huge thanks to Amy Johansson and all of the staff, volunteers, photographers, videographers, vendors, bands, sponsors, and everybody else that took part in throwing such an amazing event?! They did such a great job and it really showed.
And of course a thank you to all of you that were there showing your support for this cause; it was truly a humbling experience to see so many people come together to say that enough is enough! Change will only happen when whole communities come together and we saw a glimpse of that this weekend; it was beautiful! Don't forget to bring that home with you and continue to love and look out for one another. ❤
Saturday we will be doing a private event, but Sunday we will be down at Blazin Vibes in Milford, CT for a FREE OUTDOOR SHOW (event from 12pm-6pm / we play 4-6pm) with our friends in Not Here and Kazoo Crew Family Band. This is a rescheduled event after the one in April was rained out, so you know we have all been chomping at the bit to play this one for y'all; it's gonna be a blast!
Then after we are done at Blazin' Vibes we will be headed down to Shelton to celebrate the life of our friend Bryan Wendland, who was unfortunately taken away too early earlier this summer. So if you knew Bryan come on down and show some love for his family! All proceeds go to his daughter. ❤

entertainment. In the evening the young people, who had finished school and were working at home, had their own softball league and played against the same communities.
During the winters in the late 1930's Lakelet started having whist drives. As many as forty people would gather in somebody's home and everyone played, regardless of age. The hostess provided the coffee, and everyone brought some contribution to the lunch. The results were impressive; plates of sandwiches, a variety of tarts and cookies, deep chocolate cakes with thick icing. They were tremendous lunches, we were just the fellows to eat them. All of us worked outside all day, everyday, and it didn't occur to any of us that we would ever have to worry about our weight.
World War II changed our lives somewhat. A number of us joined the armed services, while those who were left behind were busy and short handed, working hard to get the crops in and harvested. The Canadian Red Cross became the focal point of community effort. The war was not without its tragedies; Arthur Joslund died in Italy, and Cecelia's husband, Bill Dunwoodie bailed out over Europe and spent much of the war in a P.O.W. camp in Germany. Most of us returned safely and took up life where we left off. Lakelet community Club was organized, and for a few years we enjoyed a thriving social life, centered around the schoolhouse. We married and had families, and in due time another generation started to school.
There were not so many of them however, and the enrollment decreased steadily. By the 1960's we were struggling to keep the school open with about nine pupils and by 1968, Rolling River School Division had taken over, and Lakelet, Hilltop, Crocus Hill and all the other small schools were no more. They remain in our memory as a symbol of our youth, and a reminder of how for tunate we are today. Today's young people ride the big yellow buses to opportunities which we never had, but they lack the sense of belonging to that small tightly knit group that characterized the farm communities a generation ago, and which is probably gone forever.
Scandinavia School was the beginning and the end of the one room rural school in the R.M. of Clanwilliam as it was the first district to be organized and the last one to close. It was also the only one that was a genuine "Little Red Schoolhouse", a name that was synonymous with rural education across Canada in the early days of colonization. Painted red with fresh white trim it was a picturesque sight as it stood on a little knoll against its background of evergreens.
In December, 1888, a meeting was called to discuss the formation of a school district. One month later, on January 8, 1889, the Scandinavia School District No. 567 was formed by a By-law of the R.M. of Clanwilliam. On February 6, 1889, it was officially approved by the Department of Education. The first trustees were Peter Christopherson, Secretary Treasurer, John Asselund and
Gustav Anderson.
The site chosen was on N.E. 6-18-17W, and the name was the same as that of the colony. Ratepayers were each to bring one round of logs (four) to the building site. A story is told that one farmer thought the location was too far north so drew the logs to what he thought was a better site. Other residents were just as sure their choice was right and more central so hauled them back again. One wonders if such controversies were the reason for it being five years before the school was completed and func tioning.
The building was 18 ft. by 24 ft., two windows in each of the side walls, an enclosed porch and door to the south. It was heated by a box stove placed along the south wall. School opened on June 4, 1894 with nineteen pupils registered that first day and Mr. D. Matheson as the teacher. He had six weeks of training and his salary was $45.00 per month. School closed on December 1. A total of thirty-one children were registered that first year but only sixteen of these were residents of the district. Children from outlying areas would stay with various families to attend school until more districts were for med. At one time the board decided a charge of .75 per month per child be levied for non-resident children but that was several years later. Although the term was usually to be six months, April to October, this was often shortened because teachers left to resume studies in college or university. A week of holidays was given about the end of July. In the summer of 1900 a diphtheria epidemic closed the school for a time. This was in ac cordance with provisions of the Public Health Act. There were twelve deaths entered in the Lutheran Church records that year, many because of this disease. Mr. Matheson taught the first two years. In 1910 he returned for a visit to Danvers and Scandinavia to renew acquaintances made in these districts where he had begun the education of the children. He had by this time been ordained a minister in the Presbyterian Church.
One wonders if the first desks were homemade benches and tops as a financial statement given in 1909 states the purchase of six double desks, No.2 size, with divided seats at $5.50 each, six each of Nos. 3 and 4, at $5.25 each and one teacher's chair, No.2, at $2.50. Apparently these were from Christie School Supplies as a note asks Mr. Christie if he would accept two notes from the school district; one payable January 15, 1910, the other on January 15,1911. This would be better for the district as then they would not need to raise the special tax too much in one year. Interest on the note was 8%, the bill, $102.00. One year the secretary-treasurer paid the retiring teacher of his own money until arrangements could be made to borrow from the Bank to pay him back. When a new flag was purchased in 1910 for $3.50 it was stipulated that it be woollen goods and well made or it would not be accepted. Finances must have improved as in 1913 an organ was purchased from Eaton's for $60.00 and a stool for $2.00. In 1918, $20.00 was donated to the Boys' and Girls' Club and in 1919 when Mabel Christopherson, a former pupil, was the teacher, the Books of Knowledge were added to an already quite fine library. Two other teachers, Edith and Cecelia Johnson, had also been early pupils.

Structure & Dynamics of the Psyche
Structure & Dynamics of the Psyche is Volume 8 in The Collected Works of C. G. Jung, a series of books published by Princeton University Press in the U.S. and Routledge & Kegan Paul in the U.K. It is a revised translation of one of Jung's most important longer works. There is an appendix of four shorter papers on personality type, published between 1913 and 1935.[1]
This volume traces an important line of development in Jung's thought from 1912 onwards. It first elaborates Freud's concept of sexual libido into Jung's own concept: psychic energy. Then it shows how Jung slowly arrived at a concept even more controversial than psychic energy was in its day: psychic reality. The book has Jung's first mention of the archetype, as well as his later views on its nature. There is also a 1916 essay on the therapeutic uses of active imagination.[2]
Several important chapters elucidate Jung's ideas on synchronicity. These were later published separately as Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle.[3]
Extensive detailed abstracts of each chapter are available online.[3]

The Folk Tales program was built around a unique and rather unusual instrumentation for string trio—two violins and a viola—seldom heard in a full chamber music program. Featuring staples of the repertoire, Antonín Dvořák's magnificent Miniatures and Terzetto and Zoltán Kodály's delightfully folksy Serenade, the program also offers rarely performed music by Belgian composer and violinist Eugène Ysaÿe and Russian composer Sergei Taneyev. The richness and variety in the music will surprise and delight you, as will the project's intimate educational style. Violist extraordinaire and festival favorite Paul Neubauer will be joined onstage by virtuoso violinists Pamela Frank and Arnaud Sussmann.

Jordan Henderson believes new Liverpool signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will thrive at Anfield under Jurgen Klopp.
Having lost to the Reds 4-0 with former club Arsenal before the international break, Oxlade-Chamberlain swapped London for Liverpool on transfer deadline day in a deal worth £40m after reportedly turning down Premier League champions Chelsea.
Henderson, who played alongside Oxlade-Chamberlain for England in their 4-0 win over Malta on Friday, thinks Klopp's presence as Liverpool manager will help the 24-year-old realise his potential.
Henderson said, as quoted by the Mirror: "Well, I think, you'd have seen him [Klopp] on the sidelines, he's very passionate. What you see is a fantastic manager and I think he will help Alex a lot. He will help him develop as a player and hopefully you will see even more good things from him."
Oxlade-Chamberlain has played in a right wing-back role recently for Arsenal but is also capable of playing in central midfield and on the wing, and Henderson believes he will succeed in whatever position he is picked in.
He added: "I think he can do both very well, he's a fantastic player, he can adapt to each position, gives you something different on the wing.
"He's very direct and powerful and in the midfield he's clever enough to get on the ball and get on the half turn so, for me, he can play in either position.
"Of course I'm delighted he's signed for Liverpool, but, at the end of the day, we are with England and our focus has got to be on the game on Monday. Then I'm sure we can start focusing on playing Manchester City and getting him into Melwood for his first session and stuff like that."

Los Angeles pursuit ends in crash, officer-involved shooting
A high-speed pursuit involving a silver Chevrolet Corvette ended violently Friday when the Corvette collided with another car that ran a red light.
After the crash, the Corvette driver attempted to flee, but LAPD officers who arrived on the scene shot him. It is unclear at this time if non-lethal rounds or bullets were used to subdue the suspect.
The pursuit started around 9:30 p.m. in East Los Angeles. Deputies attempted to stop the driver for alleged reckless driving.
The pursuit went through numerous Los Angeles communities including East Los Angeles, and Bell and Huntington Park. The pursuit ended 60 minutes later at the intersection of Los Angeles Street and Olympic Boulevard when it collided with the other car.
The driver of the Corvette was described to be in his 40s, but that was all the information the police have released so far. An ambulance took the suspect away and the extent of his injuries is currently unknown.
The pursuit involved patrol vehicles from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and California Highway Patrol vehicles before the LAPD became involved and took over.
The condition of the other driver and unknown passengers of the other car involved is still unknown.
