Project Leader:
Ms. Karin Mubang
For weeks and sometimes months at a time, children and families in Christ the King Parish in Mbengwi, Cameroon, face the challenge of securing clean drinking water. The parish priest, Father Otia, is trying to do something about that. Right now, there is an immediate need for a water well. Appropriate well construction depends on local geologic and groundwater conditions. Proper well location and construction are key to the safety of the well water. Rainwater can pick up harmful bacteria and chemicals on the land's surface and it is important to safeguard with additional measures in order to prevent waterborne diseases. The current global pandemic poses even more difficult challenges. Father Otia needs support in order to construct a standard well that will collect and distribute water to the people. A gift of $25 can help many families receive safe drinking water. Will you bring water – and life – to this community?

Praise the Lord. We pray and hope you all are staying safe. I come with great news. Despite the surge of covid 19 and instability, the final project has finally been completed. The well is 16 meters deep. Machine was built inside to pump out water. In two weeks the water storage tank will be put up and water connected from the well to it and from there supplied for use in the presbetery, the church primary school, some neighbours and for Agriculture. Official pictures, videos and thank you from the parish and community will be sent to you all shortly. Once again, Fr Collins Otia, the Christians of Christ the King Parish and Whole Mbengwi community are extremely grateful. You all are always in our prayers. God's abundant blessings. Stay well and be safe

No clue. No clue at all.
Folks in the Trump Administration, or Mal-Administration, one might say, seem to have no idea how increasingly ridiculous and out of touch with reality they appear to the rest of us.
Space Force indeed. I believe a bit more than a flag unfurlinging in the Rose Garden, with Mike the Sphinx Pence looking on approvingly, will be needed to actually "create a new" agency.
Even if one is actually simply re-branding and existing one and taking credit. Not that taking credit for the works of others is a novel thing with Trump.

We investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of a surfactant monolayer on a thin fluid film spreading inward into a region devoid of surfactant, a system motivated by the alveolus of the human lung. We perform experiments that simultaneously measure the fluid height profile and the fluorescence intensity due to our fluorescent surfactant, NBD-PC. We perform experiments on both a Newtonian layer of glycerol and a shear-thinning fluid layer consisting of xanthan gum mixed with glycerol. We can very successfully extract height profiles on the xanthan gum fluid, although the simultaneous measurement of fluorescent intensity profiles proved problematic, as the laser tended to stymie the fluorescent intensity measurement. We attempt and find some success with simply measuring surfactant fluorescent intensity by itself and reconstructing behavior between the two separate measurements. We were ultimately able to make a comparative measurement of the velocity of the leading edge of surfactant on xanthan gum and glycerol.

There's some more showers on the way for the weekend, nothing that will constitute a washout by any means, but the daily round of showers may be a little more widespread the next several days.
A quick spike in moisture in the atmosphere will lead to some enhanced summer showers with a handful of thunderstorms embedded in them which may provide quite the light show.
None of the storms are expected to be particularly organized and while they may come along with some gusty winds the biggest thing you'll want to be aware of is frequent lightning.
Despite being a little more widespread the wet weather isn't likely to be continuous through out the entire day but you may end up with a few different showers during the day (they'll still be fairly chaotic and hard to pinpoint).
It doesn't look to get any better over the weekend either with Saturday and Sunday both shaping up to basically be the same type of weather we'll get on Friday.
The extended cloud cover will help out with the temperatures with highs Friday and Saturday both likely staying in the upper 80s, although it'll still feel a little warmer.
Some drier air will worm its way into Acadiana to start the week which will shut down many of the showers, pop ups will still be possible, but with it will be another increase in temperature.

Writing content for a blog or website and running a blog have two different aspects. You may be a great content writer and produce high-quality articles. But have you ever searched for How to promote your blog? Without deploying the appropriate promotional strategies you may not be able to gain adequate traffic and visitors to the website. The online marketing techniques will spur up the growth of your blog. Promotion in social media platforms may not be enough to increase the search ranking of your website or the number of website visits.
For beginners, it is very much essential to follow the step-by-step approach towards blog promotion. This article will provide a complete beginner's guide to blog marketing and promotion.
You need to judiciously apply the techniques. In the end, the target must be to monetize your blog and convert visitors into potential customers. They can be either through advertising clicks, affiliate referrals, and product/service buyers.
In-person communication
Send out the word for your blog to your friends and acquaintances. Share the details of your blog or website among your known people with a request to visit your blog. You may even ask them to share the blog with their social network. Though this method may not aid to gain a huge number of visitors, yet it will set out the word among your known circle. And words flow fast, so you may expect to spur up your blog visits. This is one of the oldest methods to promote your blog. It's a slow process yet a steady way to gain followers and visitors.
Social Media Marketing
The next tool to promote your blog is social media marketing. Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter are some of the powerful social media platforms. Content or blog sharing via social media is an efficient way to increase visibility and traffic. You will be able to gain more and more followers and subscribers.
But it is recommended that you develop a robust social media marketing strategy before you start with the promotion. Check for the target audience and the relevant social networks for your blog. Start engaging with the audience who can potentially be the influencers for your blog's products and services.
As a next step, start posting your blog content or article on social media networking sites and platforms. Be consistently present on social media platforms to continue the influx of content and audience engagement. Once you connect with your target audience, you need to constantly be focused on sharing relevant blogs or articles with them. You need to convert them into potential customers for your products or services. Also, they may also turn out to be influencers and advertisers for your blog. Additionally, join different social media groups and forums in Quora, to propagate about your blog. Drop your blog or website links into those forums to gain more visitors.
Some best tools for Social Media Marketing
E-mail Marketing
Though there are different ways of digital marketing, still e-mail marketing has precedence. You can create a list of the subscribers of our blog or website and then email them. The strategy is affordable and cost-effective. The recommendation is to prepare a template for the emails. There should be an appropriate title, subject, and body specifying and focusing on the articles to lure the target audience. A message to like and comment on the articles must be specified. Request to share the content within the social network of the subscribers to gain more traffic.
Besides, do not forget to include the blog URL in the email body so that the email receivers can easily click on it. Also, include your signature in the email content with links to your different social media handles. Additionally, leverage emails to send out information about your blog to friends, family, and acquaintances.
Relationship Marketing
An innovative way to promote your blog is to build and curate relations with influencers and potential audiences. The more you develop the relation, the more you can gain trust and confidence in your blog content. People will increase the frequency of visiting your blog thereby increasing traffic.
Influencers help in promoting your blog content and connecting with your audience. So instead of directly interacting with your audience, it is good to liaise with the influencers. You can mention the work of the influencers in your blog by mentioning links. They in turn will feel grateful and promote your content in their social media networks or among their followers. You can also interview an influencer for their work and activities. Either you can post snippets of the interview in your blog or some quotes and references.
The influencers may be obliged and aid in promoting their content across social media platforms. You can even invite them for guest posting in your blog. In return, you can provide backlinks or do-follow links of the influencer's social media (Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest) links or works in the blog or article.
The recommendation is to identify and connect with influencers who are prominent in their domain or field of expertise. But focus on high-quality content so that the influencers value your blog and feel motivated to contribute and even promote your blog.
Guest Blogging
Guest blogging is also one of the efficient ways to promote your blog. Check for websites that have a high ranking in search engines and of similar niche. Connect with the blog owners for contributions to their websites in the form of guest blogs. Collaborate with them so that they agree to provide backlinks to your blog or website. You can also return the same favor to the blog owners.
While guest blogging, provide quality content of your relevant niche and on topic or category for which you will be able to mention a backlink. You can also mention your author's bio at the end of the article or guest blog with links to your various social media handles. This will increase your blog visibility as well as traffic.
You can notice the enhancement of the visitors to your traffic through the guest blogs and backlinks. Even the domain authority and page authority of your blog or website rise significantly. This will in turn increase the ranking of your blog in the search engines especially Google. Your niche gets recognition and visibility and slowly your website gains the required importance.
Blog Commenting
Commenting on others' blogs of similar niches is a great way to attract visitors or readers to your website or blog. The owners of other blogs will be interested to visit your website and appreciate your content or article. Ensure the comments you enter in other blogs are meaningful and related to the theme of the content. Who knows, you may receive an opportunity to write a guest blog to the websites or even receive an invitation to act as an influencer to the product or service of your online business.
You may even drop links to your website in the comments section too. This in turn will help to promote your blog faster and in a convenient way.
Paid Marketing
If you do not earn success from non-paid marketing in social media, and other networks, then it is recommended to leverage paid marketing. You can check out for advertising opportunities, sponsored content, or promoted content on social media platforms. There are several options for the same – video ads on Facebook, sponsored content on LinkedIn, promotional pins and tweets on Pinterest and Twitter respectively, and carousel ads on Instagram.
Based on your blog content niche or domain, you need to select the best option for paid marketing. Also, you need to select the best format, audio, video, or standalone message for the advertising or sponsored content. Then you need to determine the budget for the sponsorship, ads, and promotions accompanied by the costs. You need to collaborate and communicate with the social media platforms for the costs depending on the category of your blog content. Depending on your budget and affordability, you can select the appropriate promotional networks for your content.
Another option for paid marketing is search advertising. Typically when you search for any keyword, the search engines place the ads at the beginning. Its popularly known as pay per click. You need to pay a minimal fee for each click on the ad. This is one of the recommended ways to promote your blog.
Some best Online Marketing Tools
Blog Newsletter
Leveraging a blog newsletter and encouraging followers and visitors to subscribe to it is one of the recommended ways to promote your blog. In the newsletter, you can mention the prominent and featured content of your blog. Share some interesting pictures and images related to the content. Mention the author bio along with the links to your social media handles. Share the upcoming content of your blog. Talk about the genre of your blog and how it is going to benefit your target audience. It is very important to communicate the importance of your website, the unique features of your blog, and the message you want to impart from your blog.
Request for subscribing to the newsletter so that people can receive notifications of the posted content in your blog. This is one of the efficient means to draw visitors to your blog. There are ample chances of converting the visitors as your potential customers.
Ensure to design the blog newsletter using professional tools or apps. That imparts a professional touch to the newsletter. Also, create a good promotional write-up for your blog content so that readers and visitors feel interested to look through the content.
Write content on your blog for new topics
Check for trending and new topics for your blog niche or genre. People are more interested to read blogs related to such topics. You stand at a bigger chance to attract more visitors and traffic to your blog. Perform good research on the topics before you pen down the contents. Try to keep the content as interactive as possible, so as to attract the audience. This is important since you would be writing on topics that might have already gained good traction in other blogs.
You can refer to links and quotes from other websites for such topics. Backlinks to prominent websites may help provide greater visibility. Also in turn such websites or blogs return the favor in the future. So it's a win-win situation for both.
Repurpose blog content
Repurposing blog content is another effective way to promote your blog. Old content can be modified or enhanced further to attract more audience or visitors. You can either create a podcast, Youtube video or slideshare to reach out to a greater number of people. Furthermore, you can address additional queries or requests from visitors and incorporate them into the content. FAQs can also be added to keep the content more interactive.
By following this technique you can attend to the concerns of your readers and visitors. Tracking the trending aspects of a blog and addressing them, will help in increasing the traffic to your website or blog.
Leverage SEO tools for analysis
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tools are robust means to track and analyze your blog's performance. This will help to track areas of improvement and bring in the changes as displayed in the results or as suggested by the tools. You can optimize your content and blog to grab traffic. Use keywords that are ranked high in search engines. Titles must be interactive and engaging. Check the readability of the content by using short sentences and proper grammar usage. Keep on checking your blog's ranking and ensure it never goes down. Incorporate remediations using the prominent SEO tools available in the internet.

And Final Thoughts…
Blog promotion by applying accurate and efficient techniques and strategies is important and crucial. Increasing traffic and visitors to your website or blog will enhance its visibility. You can monetize your blog fast, spur up the domain and page authority of the blog, and rank higher up in the search engines. You can even convert visitors into potential customers thus increasing the revenue influx of your online business or blog. But ensure to include high-quality, engaging, trending, and relevant articles in your blog. You must focus on some particular niche or some two to three niches. People can then identify your blog and understand its unique aspect.

The Bob and Brad massage gun is one of the latest recovery devices from the "most famous Physical Therapists on the internet". The question is, is it any good? To save you from reading our entire review, we'll just come and say it: Yeah, it's pretty great and affordable too!
- Excellent power with 55lbs stall force
- Lightweight at just 1.5lbs
- Includes 5 massage attachments
- Affordable price tag
- USB-C Charging
- Carrying case included
- 8mm Amplitude massage
- No dedicated power brick included
Bob and Brad C2 Massage Gun
Not just hype, the Bob and Brad Massage Gun is a quality massager that delivers a lot of power in a very tiny form factor.
Check Price NowWith over 2.6 million (and counting) subscribers on YouTube, Bob Schrupp and Brad Heineck have come a long way since their platform debut in 2011. If you've ever searched up a "fix" for any sort of physical ailment, you've likely come across one of their super informative videos.
We've long been fans of theirs and when we heard they were releasing an all-new massage gun, we were anxious to try it. As you'll soon read, it doesn't disappoint in the slightest. And you don't have to take our word for it either. Since its release on Amazon, it has now accumulated a stellar 4.8/5 star rating from over 1000 buyers! That's a pretty good sign of what to expect if you ask us.
Why You Need The Bob and Brad Massage Gun
Depending on your familiarity with massage guns, you may be asking yourself why you need one in your life. According to studies, the benefits of massage are very well documented and include, but not limited to:
- Improved range of motion
- Expedited muscle recovery
- Increased lymphatic drainage
- Reduction of fatigue
- Pain management
The list goes on, but you get the idea. If you can reap all those potential benefits from a portable, easy to use device, it's really no wonder why massage guns are exploding in popularity. And again, given that this one is endorsed by two well sought after Physical Therapists, there must be something to it.
Initial Impressions
Right out of the box, we were immediately impressed by the quality of the Bob and Brad Massage Gun. It no doubt leans more to the "mini" massager side, but it's incredibly well put together.
The body is about as solid as they come, with no creaks or unseemly large gaps in the hard plastic. The reciprocating massage head doesn't have any extraneous wobble to it, which we've seen in other models.
From the get go, it was very apparent that the Bob and Brad Massage Gun offers a lot more value than what we were paying for.
As we just alluded to a second ago, the size and weight of the massager are two things that differentiates it from other massage guns on the market and we love it.
To say that the Bob and Brad massage gun fits in the palm of your hand is an understatement. It's more like a natural extension of your body. Ok, a little dramatic, but given it's about half the size of a regular massage gun and only weighs 1.5 lbs., it's easy to hold onto without much fuss.
Something random we noticed was that our pointer finger tended to gravitate towards the flattend out section on the sides of the body. Whether an intentional design decision or just a happy accident, it gives you just a little bit more leverage while operating it.
If you have small hands, you'll be thrilled to know that the Bob and Brad has a relatively narrow grip. Given the diameter of the handle and the placement of the power button on back, it's very ergonomic for hands of all sizes. That's great news!
The power button around back also doubles as the speed selector. Pressing the button has a very nice tactile feel to it that's appreciated. Cycling through the 5 speeds is quick and instantaneous with the push of your extended thumb.
Tucked away inside the Bob and Brad Massage Gun is a very powerful 5 speed motor. With a stall force right around 55 lbs., it'll take quite a bit of pressing down to get the massage head to quit percussing. It's perhaps a bit overkill since no one should require that much pressure, but it's nice to know the power is there if you need it.
In most situations, particularly on the upper body, the percussive power of this massage gun will be sufficient. However, due to its limited amplitude (the distance the massage head travels) of 8mm, it might leave you wanting more. Here's why:
On average, most massage guns have a maximum speed of 3200 RPM. So in theory, if all else remains the same, every massage gun should feel the same too, right? Not really, because the one variable that differentiates a massage gun is the amplitude. The lower the amplitude, the shallower the massage. The higher the amplitude, the more depth it will achieve driving the massage head into the muscle.
In the case of the Bob and Brad massager, the 8mm amplitude produces something more akin to a vibration massage rather than a percussive one, like the 12mm amplitude of the Ekrin B37. Think of it as fast little taps as opposed to fast bigger thumps.
Hopefully that clarifies things.
Does the amplitude really matter? It can, but the biggest determining factor is personal preference. What feels strong and powerful to one person can feel completely weak and underpowered to another.
To put it to rest, we think the large majority of people that buy the Bob and Brad Massage Gun will be perfectly happy and satisfied with the percussion. We just think it's important that you understand the one limitation that it does have.
Battery Life
We have seen it before, but oftentimes when a company introduces a miniature sized version of something, it comes with compromises–like less battery life.
Fortunately, the Bob and Brad Massage Gun doesn't cut any corners in that department.
In our week of testing, using it off and on everyday, we've yet to see the battery drop below 50%. That's likely thanks to its sizable 2500 mAh lithium ion internal battery. Of course you miles may vary depending on how you use it, but we're confident it will meet or exceed your expectations.
The Brad and Bob is charged via an included USB-C cable. A dedicated charging brick, however, is not included and you should know that before buying. Given the ubiquitous nature of USB ports, like on your computer, your existing cell phone charger, or even in most modern cars, finding a means of charging your massage gun should not be an issue. Again, we probably don't speak for everyone so keep that in mind.
Included Accessories
The Bob and Brad Massage Gun comes in a hard, fabric covered carrying case. It's simplistic in design, yet conveniently portable and maximizes function to the fullest.
Inside the carrying case are individual form fitting slots for the massage gun and each of its 5 included massage head attachments.
The upper lid has a mesh-like pocket that keeps the manual and charging cable neatly organized and in place. If you happen to incorporate any sort of massage oil or pain relieving cream, that would be a great place to put it.
Not an accessory per se, but the Bob and Brad massage gun is backed by a 1 year warranty. To make sure you're eligible for warranty service, be sure you register your device within 7 days of receiving it. Should anything go wrong with it, you'll be happy you took the 2 minutes to do so.
Final Takeaway
Like everything we review, we do our best to reserve judgement before trying any new product. We think everything that comes across our desks deserves a fair review and that applied to the Bob and Brad Massage Gun.
In truth, we didn't think it would impress us as much as it has. It's not perfect because we do wish it had a higher amplitude, but considering everything else, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Do you love dogs? Do you love a cute factor of 1 million? Do you have allergies? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then read on for my personal top 5 cutest hypoallergenic dogs. These dogs are light on allergies and heavy on cute.
Hypoallergenic Dogs That Will Make you say, "Awwwwww".
I love dogs. I mean, I love them. I've been rescuing them for 15 years. At one time, our home was filled with 15 dogs, all either abandoned, neglected, or special needs. In all my years of rescuing animals and working at a vet, I've come across some uber adorable hypoallergenic dogs that deserve to be recognized for their incredible contributions to the cute community.
Shih Tzu
The Shih Tzu, nature's teddy bear, takes the number one spot in my top five cutest hypoallergenic dogs. Who can say no to them? They are an extremely loving, devoted breed, and they absolutely love their people. In addition to that, they are equally happy to run around and play or just sack out on the couch. Also, who doesn't love a dog that looks like a living, breathing teddy bear – or a Mugwai or Ewok depending on your outlook.
Whatever you think they look like, the bottom line is that they are cuteness made flesh. One of the best hypoallergenic dogs I've ever had in my life was Lucy. She was a Shih Tzu, and she was the greatest. She looked EXACTLY like an Ewok, and she had this way of just melting your heart whenever she looked at you.
This is another breed I've owned. The Maltese deserves pride of place in the cute hypoallergenic dog hall of fame. These guys. I mean, they just scream cute. From their fuzzy coats as puppies to their energy to their complete desire to be glued to you at all times, the Maltese takes cute into the stratosphere.
I've had several Maltese, and they've all been great. Beefy, Baby, and Odie were all dancers. Whenever they wanted to be held, they would literally dance on their hind legs. Before Odie got too old to do it anymore, we actually timed him. He hopped around the living room for a full five minutes! When you add their looks to their intense need to be on you at all times, you've got a recipe for utter adorableness.
The Cockapoo is another winner on my top five cutest hypoallergenic dogs. This breed combines the smarts of a poodle and the friendliness of a Cocker Spaniel and wraps them up into a super soft, cuddly package. These dogs are loving to the point of doting, and they always want to be in eye shot of their people.
Again, this is a breed that I've owned. Pepper Pot – also known as Potty because we couldn't get him to stop marking up the house – was by far the most loving dog I have ever owned. Even at the end when his cancer had metastasized to his lungs, and he could barely breath, he still hung in just to be with us. He was a stalwart companion who wanted nothing more than to be with us at all times, and that's classic of the breed.
Giant Schnauzer
At this point, it should come as no surprise to you that I've owned a Giant Schnauzer. =D This breed makes my top five cutest hypoallergenic dogs because of its look from head to do. It has a gorgeous curly coat, a wonderful personality, and huge, deep eyes that just bare its soul to you.
As an example of how friendly this gigantic ball of cuteness is, I'll tell you a story. The Giant Schnauzer I owned was a stray. When I was a kid in Alabama a Giant Schnauzer literally landed in my lap. My dad and I had just come back from fishing. He went into the house and I stayed in the passenger seat of the truck fiddling with something – I can't remember what anymore.
Suddenly this GINORMOUS Giant Schnauzer comes galloping from behind the house straight towards the truck. I was too shocked to close the door. My last thought before he landed in my lap was, "I'm going to die!" Happily, this breed is as friendly as it is adorable. Rather than ripping off my face, it licked me to death.
Bichon Frise
Believe it or not, I have never owned a Bichon. However, working at the vet I crossed paths with them all the time. They are one of the cutest hypoallergenic dogs both inside and out. The beauty of their soft, fluffy coats and happy faces are rivaled only by their intensely friendly personalities.
It was always a joy for me when one of our many Bichon patients came into the vet for their checkups. They were always so friendly, and there's nothing like the coat of a Bichon for sheer fuzzy wonderfulness.
All of these dogs made my top five cutest hypoallergenic dogs based on their looks and their personalities. These breeds all have wonderful personalities and adorable faces and coats. They really are the cutest dogs in the history of cute, in my opinion, and they're all hypoallergenic. Bonus!
If you're interested in any of these breeds, I highly encourage you to visit your local shelter or an online rescue site first. Remember, make adoption your first option when looking for a pet.
Which of these hypoallergenic dogs do you think is the cutest? Share in the comments!

Mascot designs put to vote
UND student body choosing favorite Fighting Hawks costume design through online balloting
The vote is on!
Excitement is swirling as students head to the online polls to choose their favorite look for the Fighting Hawks mascot.
Erik Hanson, UND student body president-elect, has been with the process since the beginning.
"After serving on the Game Day Experience Committee, I was able to see that people wanted something truly identifiable," he told UND Today. "A mascot is something that will keep the train moving forward and build excitement for North Dakota Athletics."
In April, Rickabaugh Graphics was tasked by the 17-person UND Mascot Committee to provide three graphic identities using characteristics recommended by the group of UND student and athletic representatives. The award-winning design company has created over 500 identities for over 250 schools, including "Brutus the Buckeye," the mascot for Big Ten powerhouse Ohio State.
Alumni donations
Now it's up to the student body to decide on the two-dimensional representation for the Fighting Hawks mascot. Their selection determines how the physical character looks as it goes into production.
"Having a logo rollout before, we saw what was done well and what we could have done better," Hanson said. "One of the biggest things was making sure the students had a way to make a decision."
Hanson stressed the importance of this process being a student-led initiative, noting that students held a majority of seats on the UND Mascot Committee, which he co-chairs.
The roughly $35,000 cost of designing the mascot was completely covered by private donations from UND Alumni who specifically wanted their gifts to go to the development of a new mascot. No state funds were used in the development or design.
UND President Mark Kennedy, who has the final say on the mascot design, says he will defer to the winner of the student vote.
"The students taking the lead in creating UND's new mascot are writing history, starting a new UND tradition," Kennedy said. "The vote belongs to today's students. We are excited to see how they will leave their mark on what it means to be the Fighting Hawks."
North Dakota Athletics Director Bill Chaves carried the same sentiment, saying that the decision is a unique opportunity that students can take pride in.
"It was great to see the involvement from different parts of the student body," he said. "Three student-athletes served on the committee. They are dedicated to their sport in competition and they were dedicated to this process to help with this initiative that will be a visible part of this University for years to come."
"I think it's awesome and such a humbling opportunity we have as students to impact this University in such a monumental way," John Santiago, UND Football running back, said of the student vote. "This decision will engrave us into UND and that's something special."
On the ballot
'Game Day' caliber
Both Santiago and his head coach, Kyle "Bubba" Schweigert, look forward to how an embodiment of the Fighting Hawks can enhance the experience of game day.
"It's wonderful that we're moving forward," Coach Bubba said. "This is an important piece to connect with not only younger people, but the entire community. It improves the atmosphere for our passionate fan base."
"We've had many changes in my time here and I'm honored to see how we're evolving," Santiago continued. "From the perspective of an athlete, this will only elevate our experience as players."
Jacob Notermann — who represents student-athletic booster NoDak Nation on the committee with two other students — is excited for students to be more involved in the rich, athletic history of UND.
"To be honest, I was initially skeptical about having a mascot," Notermann recalled. "Throughout the process, I gained more and more excitement over its hatching. It's an excellent opportunity to take this new era in North Dakota Athletics and incorporate new aspects to its legacy."
Another student on the committee, Kara Kohns, shared the optimism in creating a Fighting Hawk.
"Having a mascot around our campus will heighten the experience at any event," she said. "I'm excited to give our future Fighting Hawk mascot a high five once it comes to life!"
Athletic evolution
Legacy, tradition and history are all words commonly used when discussing the University's athletic programs. In the case of UND, a living mascot of this variety hasn't been seen in years – at least in an official capacity. Since "Thunder the Bleacher Creature" mysteriously disappeared in the early 1990s, UND has missed a 'head of hype.'
For Mike Mannausau, associate athletic director, major gifts with the UND Alumni Association & Foundation, introducing a mascot is weaving a new piece of fabric into the tapestry of UND. He's participated in the process as a non-voting member of the mascot committee.
"I think we're seeing more and more support for creating new traditions, including among our alumni," Mannausau said. "The University is rich in its tradition and history, and now we're starting something that's going to evolve over time and have its place."
"The biggest thing is — this is something that students will be completely in control of," Hanson reinforced. "They have the decision of what it's going to be. We're excited that alumni have come forward and basically funded this."
Hanson says the cost of developing a mascot has been a primary concern while listening to different constituents, and that specific alumni came and said they had money they wanted to put toward the project.
"We think it's going to be better for the University, athletics and every group involved," he said, adding that maintenance and other related costs will be handled by North Dakota Athletics. "The students aren't paying a dollar toward building this costume."
As for when it will be revealed, or "hatched," and officially named, Mannausau says to expect it sometime in the fall.
"This week, we're going to find a winner," he said. "Over the summer and into fall, we'll start to have a better idea of when to unveil the physical, finished product."

Clamp the negative cable (black) to the negative terminal of the good battery.
Clamp the other end of the negative cable to a clean metal part of the engine such as a bolt head or bracket in the car with the weak battery. (Keep the clamp away from the battery, any moving parts and the fuel system.)

Testing your filter is easy and replacing it is, too—so do it yourself. Replace the filter based on its actual condition rather than the manufacturer's recommended service intervals. Checking its condition isn't rocket science. Just pull it out and give it a look-see. If it fails the back-light test, replace it. While the filter is out, vacuum out the crud in the air cleaner box.

MAGNUS Sports signs Major League Baseball's most dominant pitcher Aroldis Chapman to the first 360º sports and media management contract of its kind
Miami, FL – November 30 2015 – MAGNUS Media announced today the inception of MAGNUS Sports, a fully integrated division dedicated to the worldwide representation of major athletes. MAGNUS Sports has completed its first initiative by forming a joint venture with premier boutique baseball agency Praver Shapiro Sports Management and the signing of Cuban born, 4-time Major League All-Star pitcher Aroldis Chapman.
Founded earlier this year by international music icon Marc Anthony, MAGNUS Media has been building a roster of top-tier entertainers, artists and influencers and brings to the venture its expertise in entertainment, branding, marketing, social media, and content development. Praver Shapiro is widely recognized as a leading Sports Management Agency specialized in representing Hispanic baseball talent, and providing a comprehensive array of services designed to address the unique needs of the professional athlete both on and off the field. The venture will be jointly overseen by MAGNUS Media CEO Michel Vega and Praver Shapiro's Barry Praver and Scott Shapiro.
Marc Anthony said, "Baseball, like music, is an ingrained cultural passion for many Latinos throughout the world, and there's no shortage of amazing stars of Hispanic origin. Despite that, until now there hasn't been an enterprise specifically designed to meet their needs. With MAGNUS Sports, we are changing the existing dynamics and building a new kind of Management Company that understands the culture and knows how to build big media brands.
"Beyond the cultural connection, social media is also bringing fans closer to their heroes than ever before. That means that athletes, like other entertainers, need management that can help them with both managing their career and building their brand".
"We are honored to have the opportunity to begin this venture with a prominent talent like Aroldis."
Chapman added, "I couldn't be happier to have the MAGNUS Sports team supporting me as I enter the next important phase of my career. We are going to continue to work hard both on and off the field to push boundaries and achieve new levels of success."
Other operating units of MAGNUS include an artist management company, music publishing, digital content creation, film & television, a music label and an entertainment-centric marketing practice focused on leveraging the power of top Latino content creators in the U.S. and worldwide.
About Aroldis Chapman
Aroldis Chapman registered the fastest pitch in MLB history at 105.1 MPH, and has continually shattered records since his Major League debut with the Cincinnati Reds in 2010. He holds the highest career average fastball velocity of all pitchers since the statistic has been officially recorded. The four time All Star also holds the records for most consecutive games with a strikeout (49), fewest amount of innings pitched to record 500 strikeouts (292), and most consecutive saves at home ball park (56). Incredibly, Chapman threw the 62 fastest pitches in the entire MLB in 2015.
About Marc Anthony
Marc Anthony is one of the most influential artists of his time and a true ambassador of Latin music and culture. He has sold over 12 million albums worldwide and has been recognized with countless standard gold and platinum certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In 2012, the six – time GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY® Award winner launched the Maestro Cares Foundation, hosting a series of fundraisers throughout the year to benefit the non-profit organization and build orphanages in Latin America. Anthony has also established a highly credible acting résumé.
His latest album, titled Marc Anthony 3.0, released July 23, 2013, has received an American Music Award; a GRAMMY® Award nomination; five Premios Lo Nuestro; two Premios Juventud; ten Billboard Latin Music Awards; three Billboard Awards; and a special recognition from the Univision television network.

Xaar PLC develops digital inkjet technology and manufactures piezoelectric, drop-on-demand industrial inkjet printheads, and their technology is used in manufacturing applications which include graphics, labels, direct-to-shape packaging decoration, and ceramic tiles. Their technology is also used to print with specialized functional fluids for advanced manufacturing processes.
Now Xaar has brought back one of their former executive team, Keith Smith, to head up their Advanced Manufacturing division as Director. Smith rejoins Xaar following a stint as sales manager for North and South America for Xaar from 2002-2005 and a position at touch sensor manufacturer Token ITO.
Located in the USA, Smith will take on responsibility for developing strategic manufacturing opportunities and partnerships outside of the company's established markets. He'll report directly to Xaar CEO Dr. Doug Edwards.
Smith says he believes Xaar can branch out into 3D production printing, touch sensor displays, ink-jet-printed semiconductors, and robotic coating applications.
"He brings the ideal combination of in-depth knowledge of key growth markets for Xaar technology and global sales experience in B2B technology in China, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan and North and South America," Edwards says of Smith. "As an ex-Xaar employee, it's also good to welcome him back."
The dynamic world of global manufacturing provides an exciting opportunity for Xaar. Most things we come into contact with on a daily basis are patterned, decorated, printed, or finished in some way; the packaging and labels in our supermarkets, the boxes containing everything we buy, the tiles and laminate flooring in our homes and offices, the televisions we watch, and the solar panels used to power our buildings.
Many production processes used in the manufacture of these products utilize traditional analog technology. However, Xaar's industrial inkjet technology has already transformed a number of industries, and in other sectors the pace of conversion to digital is starting to accelerate.
Xaar says they invest fully 12% of their annual revenue in research and development activities and the company boast more than 250 patents and patent applications in processes such as Shear Mode Technology, Shared Wall Technology, Chevron Technology, Hybrid Side Shooter architecture, and a revolutionary TF Technology. The company offers a range of industrial, digital inkjet printheads they sell directly to original equipment manufacturers worldwide.
Smith has more than 16 years experience in direct and channel sales management and selling B2B solutions to Fortune 500 companies.
"I'm excited and delighted to be returning to Xaar in this new position which recognizes the huge opportunities for our technology in advanced manufacturing applications," he says.
Xaar based in Cambridge, UK, is listed on the London Stock Exchange. The company was established in 1990 as an outgrowth of an ink jet research project funded by AMI. They also developed the technology behind the Xerox Colorgrafx wide-format printer, and boast revenues of more than $210 million annually.
What do you think of this announcement that former Xaar manager Keith Smith will return to the company to serve as Director of Advanced Manufacturing? Let us know in the Xaar Management forum thread on 3DPB.com.

Catherine is survived by her two children, son Terry and Daughter Cheryl, wife of David Wloczewski, and two grandchildren David and Michael, all of Sinking Spring. She is also survived by her loving dog Nikita, who stayed faithful to her to the bitter end. Catherine had a great sense of humor and enjoyed life very much. She loved cooking, gardening, and going out to lunch with the ladies. She was a member of St. John's (Hain's) United Church of Christ in Wernersville, where she was very active for many years. Catherine graduated from Sinking Spring School and McCann's School of Business. She worked for several years prior to getting married for Textile Machine Works as an executive assistant. After getting married she, like many woman of that era, became a stay at home mom. She took this role on with great gusto. She prepared "Thanksgiving-worthy meals" every night of the week. She joined the PTA, Mother's Club, and became a Boy Scout Den Mother and a Girl Scout Troop Leader. She was the best! Always there to sooth a sorrow, bandage a cut, or mend a broken heart. She will be missed terribly. 'The comforter becomes the comforted' We went there knowing there wasn't much time. I wanted to comfort her and tell her it was okay to go, that I'd miss her, but I'd be okay. I told her she'd have golden wings in heaven. I laid my head upon her chest and cried, telling her everything would be okay, that she could go be with dad, and all our other relatives. With wonder, I felt this quietness take over the room. The paralyzed right hand had lifted and caressed my face twice. Though medically impossible I for sure without a doubt, felt the presence of God as that caress comforted my weary soul. A moment between mother and daughter so awesome it will never be forgotten. All of our family in the room felt the presence of something so much bigger than we could understand. Thank you so much for such an unexpected blessing. Good-bye Mom, thanks for all the terrific love and memories! Until we meet again.

Voter registration in the city of Philadelphia is at the highest level it has been at in 35 years, according to statistics from the Pennsylvania Department of State.
As of Pennsylvania's Oct. 19 voter registration deadline, more than 1,120,000 Philadelphians have registered to cast a ballot in the upcoming presidential election. Voter registration has not reached this level of volume in the city since 1984, Billy Penn reported, when just over 1,135,000 eligible residents had registered to vote according to data from the Philadelphia Office of City Commissioners.
Philadelphia's percentage of eligible voters who have subsequently registered is also at its highest since 2004. According to the Billy Penn analysis of data from the Philadelphia Office of City Commissioners and the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 90% of all eligible residents are currently registered to vote.
The uptick in voter registration in Philadelphia is part of a broader pattern of increased registration across the United States in anticipation of the 2020 election. Pennsylvania, Texas, and Ohio are among the key battleground states that have reached record voter registration levels during this election year, Vox reported.
While registration levels are not necessarily a meaningful indication of voter turnout, many signs are already pointing to record turnout in this year's election between 1968 Wharton graduate Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Philadelphia voters have already requested nearly 430,000 mail-in ballots for the November election, more than half of the total votes cast in the city in 2016. Nationwide, NBC news reported more than 62 million voters have already cast their ballots early, surpassing early voting numbers from 2016 by more than 12 million votes.

Have you been feeling sad lately and don't have a specific reason to be feeling this way or feel that you have no control over your sadness? You may be dealing with a depressive episode. Having a depressive episode may be an identifying factor that you may be dealing with a depressive disorder. But, people experiencing a depressive episode may also just be dealing with sadness. Identifying signs of a depressive episode can help individuals dealing with this scenario to determine whether or not they may need professional assistance.
Sadness is something every human experiences sometime in their life. And, while depression deals with experiencing feelings of sadness, depression and sadness are different. The main difference between episodes of sadness and depression is that people who are sad have a reason to be. However, people dealing with sadness as a result of depression may not be able to identify an exact reason to feel sad. Depressive disorders have a few different causes including genetics (being passed down from family members) and chemical imbalances of the brain. These biological factors lead to the development of depression, which is feelings of sadness and hopelessness for a number of weeks. But, people who experience episodes of sadness may not have these biological reasons for sadness. And, rather, are experiencing feelings of sadness or hopelessness for specific reasons. For example, the loss of a loved one or relationship, being fired from a job, or financial issues.
Depressive episodes occur in people who have depressive disorders like bipolar disorders or major depressive disorder. These episodes bring about intense feelings of sadness that debilitate daily life and make a person feel apathetic to things they usually enjoy, like being with friends and families and participating in hobbies. As stated, depressive episodes that occur in people who have depressive disorders are something that is caused by physiological factors. So, they're not brought on by outside factors.
Some symptoms and signs of depressive episodes in people who may be dealing with depressive disorders can include:
If you think that you may be experiencing a depressive episode as the result of a developed depressive disorder, speaking to a psychiatrist can help determine a correct diagnosis. People who are typically diagnosed with depressive disorders experience depressive episodes that last a period of two weeks or more. During the diagnosis process, you will be asked about your family history, medical history, and any symptoms you're experiencing. Once you have received a diagnosis, your provider will talk to you about available treatment and help you to determine the method of treatment that's best suited for you individually.
Delray Center for Healing offers diagnosis assessment and treatment for people who think they may be dealing with a depressive disorder. Find out more about how we can help you today on our website.

Richard Kimball wrote today to say that Project Vote Smart's Voter Self Defense "Manual" is complete. He thanked seven different people and organizations for our ideas and for helping make it happen. But in fact, it's the tens of millions of Americans who use this site who should be thanking him and Vote Smart's remarkable staff and volunteers for what they have created.
Usage of the site has exploded. It gets as many as 7 million hits a day (you read that right, that's hits per day) -- a 2300% increase over any other election year first quarter. Their estimate is that will get some 30 million hits by the election's end. Cite those stats to people who pooh-pooh American's interest in politics.
One hundred and fifty-four organizations, Clear Channel, LA Times, Gannet News Service, Dish Network among others are using their APIs to enrich their own reporting. (Sunlight modestly helped Vote Smart's able technologists in this arena.) Vote Smart aggressively developed their APIs because of the core desire to give everythin g they have to anyone might be able to use it, multiplying their work many-fold. Theory proven right.
Many kudos Vote Smart friends. Job well begun! (The job is never done...)

I had lunch a couple of weeks ago with Richard Kimball, the founder and president of Project Vote Smart, the nation's premier information resource about candidates for public office at all levels. If you haven't checked out your lawmakers (whether Congressional, Gubernatorial or state legislative) on their site, you're missing information you need to know before you vote.
Richard related to me a very distressing fact. That in this age of transparency, candidates are less willing to tell the people where they stand on issues.

There are really a surprising number of Websites that track legislative activity, most of them the result of enterprising individuals. Probably the database with the biggest reach is the one maintained by the Washington Post. Project Vote Smart's probably has the longest history. TechPolitics (which houses and mashes census data and other government information along with voting records and provides bill tracking) focuses on House votes and is headed by the very accomplished Ken Colburn. GovTrac, founded and run by linguistics's graduate student Joshua Tauberer,has an automated system to track bills, issue-by-issue, Congress-wide.
