LOS ANGELES�I�ve editorialized in the virtual pages of DRU before that there is a danger in letting third parties come between us and our listeners�and that this is an inherent problem with streaming media.
So today we can see, in an online article from VPR.net (Vermont Public Radio) that this is exactly what has happened, at least to users that work for the Government in that state.� Sure�it�s only Vermont, and it�s only government employees�but it goes to show how easy it is for an intermediate to completely kill your means of reaching listeners. This is one you can�t do anything about.
�A few months ago, lawmakers began noticing something odd about their Internet browsers. Pandora, for instance, once a source of diverse musical offerings, now produced a mostly blank white page with the message �server not found.� Efforts to access entertainment sites such as�Hulu, Spotify, slacker.com and four other sites were similarly futile.
�The problem however wasn�t the servers; rather, someone had blocked the sites intentionally.
�We constantly monitor our bandwidth, as far as how much bandwidth we have, whether or not we�re seeing delays on bandwidth for our Internet connection,� says Richard Boes, commissioner of the Department of Information and Innovation. �And if we are, then we look to investigate why we�re seeing bandwidth that�s unusual. And we try to take action to solve any of those issues that come up.
�Boes is the man who made the call to scrap lawmakers� access to the sites. He says he wasn�t picking on legislators specifically � no one on the state Internet system can access those sites anymore.
�Entertainment sites had been consuming more than 7 percent of the state�s data transfer capacity, according to Boes. He says blocking the sites made more sense than spending precious dollars on bandwidth that already costs the state about $1.6 million annually.�
For those of you that don�t know how this is done�it�s actually quite easy. The router(s) that connect to the internet for the organization are simply configured to either block a particular IP address, or IP services (like RTP).� Done. �Takes a few minutes.
There�s really nothing new about this, either. Years ago (1996 actually) as the CE of KKSF in San Francisco, I received calls from (ironically) Cisco systems.� Seems that the network admins there had blocked our streaming because it was �using up too many network resources.� To be fair, though, it was not easy to pick up KKSF at the Cisco campus.� Most users there would not have been able to listen otherwise.
One final thing� the list of blocked sites: Netflix; Pandora; Spotify; Slacker; Radiotune; live365; hulu; jango; iheart; gnutella; kazaa2; fasttrack; edonkey; bittorrent; novadigm.

Sex and gender are two concepts that are often conflated in popular culture. However, those who experience dissonance between their assigned sex and gender identity intimately understand the difference between sex, a biologicallybased distinction, and gender, a confluence of social and behavioral factors that contribute to understanding who one is as well as how one is seen by others. The gendered self-understanding and self-expression of 170 North Americans who selfidentified as gender nonconforming and who were assigned female at birth were explored using a transpersonal lens and thematic analysis. Data suggested a range and variety of gendered self-concepts that aligned across two broad themes: binary (female/woman; male/man) and non-binary (gender nonbinary; trans masculine) gender core identities. Themes of gendered self-concept, expression in behavior, dress style and appearance, and surgical body modification are discussed. These data support the application of transpersonal theory to transgender identity development, and they underscore the need for more research to test the validity of a new theoretical model of gender transcendence discussed herein.

As Covid-19 cases are beginning to spike for a second time and surpass the peaks of the first wave in India, several states are seeing lockdown trends re-emerge in the form of night curfews, weekend lockdowns and restrictions in operations of sectors like hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, theatres, gyms and salons. With the rising pace and casualties of the pandemic, the fear of even more stringent constraints on economic activities by states is not ruled out. This would deal a severe and avoidable blow to an economy already struggling to emerge from the Covid-enforced lockdowns of last year.
Last year, a nationwide lockdown had to be imposed due to absence of knowledge and experience in those days to treat the novel coronavirus. And vaccination was also not available. With the passage of time, we have made massive progress on both these fronts. Having dealt with the pandemic for a year, the medical fraternity now is equipped with much greater understanding and expertise to treat Covid patients. Further, with the pharmaceutical industry innovating and producing specific drugs, the casualty rate has come down significantly. Even more importantly, now the vaccination drive in India is in full swing with about 4 million people being inoculated on a daily basis. It is set to pick up momentum in the coming months with augmentation in vaccine output. Citizens have also become aware of the health and safety protocol measures to be followed to control the spread of the disease.
We are now obviously well prepared to manage and control the disease even without enforcing lockdowns. Stressing on the need to avoid lockdowns, the PM has recently stated that "… we had to impose lockdowns because at that time, we did not have the infrastructure to control the infection: no PPE suits, not enough sanitisers, masks… we are no longer facing those shortages. So micro-containment zones should be the strategy".
The CII agrees with the view of our PM and believes that the full-fledged lockdowns are now needless, and the objective of containing the spread and casualties of the pandemic can be achieved through other measures that do not adversely impact the economy by hindering the ease of doing business. When night curfew becomes absolutely essential, it should be ensured that supply chains and overall industrial activities remain unaffected in the area even during curfew hours.
Weekend and day curfews must be avoided completely. While ensuring that health safety protocols are followed strictly, in no circumstances should interstate as well as intrastate movement of trucks/vehicles be allowed to be affected. Further, no distinction should be made between essential and non-essential goods when it comes to their movement from one place to another. Manpower should be allowed to move freely to factories and offices, subject to adherence to health safety protocols. Similarly, congestion at ports should not be allowed to build up. What is also important is to ensure that the Covid-related relief measures provided by the government should continue, if not augmented, till we are able to get rid of the pandemic fully.
Instead of lockdowns, which would unnecessarily derail the economic recovery besides causing livelihood and migration issues of labour, greater attention needs to be accorded to enhancing the citizens' participation in the vaccination drive as well as ensuring adherence to four other important norms: testing, using masks, sanitising regularly and maintaining social distancing.
While we have been able to ramp up our pace of inoculation considerably, it has to move to a level of 8-10 million people on a daily basis in the next few months. For this, the vaccine output has to increase exponentially from the current monthly level of 65-70 million doses, which would require several measures such as fast-tracked approval for new production capacities, facilitating local manufacturers to produce other brands of vaccines (like Johnson & Johnson and Novavax) in large quantity, ensuring hurdle-free availability of inputs to manufacturers and improving the cold storage facilities for vaccines in the country.
Until we have sufficient stock of vaccines, we should look at targeted inoculation in a manner that minimises the need for lockdown. For instance, immunisation of the labour segment, migrant workers and logistics providers, among others, may be prioritised while also helping them with affordable and easy testing and treatment facilities.
While implementing stricter health and safety protocols, state governments should also ensure that citizens have affordable access to masks, sanitisers, face shields, gloves, gowns, PPEs, ventilators, etc., to tackle the second wave of the pandemic effectively. Focusing on economical masking, testing, vaccinating and care facilities along with adherence to stricter health safety norms would be much better than going back to the outdated lockdown strategy, which has adverse implications on economic activities and livelihood of a large section of population including the labour force.

Old Dog Anorexia & Weight Loss
Forget Tempting Treats-Get Medical Attention for that Sick Senior Dog
In January my 16-year-old dachshund/cocker cross stopped eating her dry dog food. Canned food caused her to have diarrhea and vomiting. Now she's eating very little. She's very thin, and I'd like to know what I can feed her that might help her gain a few pounds.
Dr. Nichol:
I can tell how much you love this girl. The reason for her weight loss and poor appetite is that she's sick. No amount of tasty morsels will make her well. She could have cancer, organ failure, or a long-standing infection. She needs medical attention. You can only keep her in your life if you summon the courage to take her to the doctor. I'll say a prayer for your good old friend.

Swedish Prosecutors to Decide on Lifting Assange Warrant
EU | May 19, 2017, Friday // 11:02| viewsbgnes
Swedish prosecutors investigating rape accusations against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange must decide on Friday if they will lift a Europe-wide arrest warrant against him in a seven-year-old case, The Local writes.
The 45-year-old Australian denies the 2010 allegations which he fears will see him extradited to the United States and tried over the leaking of hundreds of thousands of secret US military and diplomatic documents.
He has been holed up at the Ecuadoran embassy in London since 2012 and risks being arrested by British police if he steps out of the building.
Friday is the deadline for the public prosecutor's office to either renew or lift Assange's arrest warrant before a Stockholm court.
Assange's Swedish lawyer last month filed a new motion demanding that the arrest warrant be lifted after US Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in April that arresting Assange would be "a priority".
"This implies that we can now demonstrate that the US has a will to take action... this is why we ask for the arrest warrant to be cancelled so that Julian Assange can fly to Ecuador and enjoy his political asylum," lawyer Per Samuelsson told AFP at the time.
The Swedish prosecutor in charge of the investigation, Marianne Ny, is due to address a news conference at 12:00 local time (1000 GMT) on Friday. According to Swedish media, she will comment on whether the investigation will continue or close but not if he is to be prosecuted. Neither Assange's lawyers nor the lawyer of his alleged victim could be reached for comment on Thursday.

HITMAN 2 may be announced on Thursday
The Hitman franchise has followed a twisted road. After 2012's Hitman: Absolution was launched to a lukewarm reception, IO Interactive (the franchise's creator and developer) fell into a bit of a lurch, eventually being purchased by Square Enix. 2016 saw a reboot of the franchise with HITMAN: Season 1, an episodic release that garnered critical and consumer acclaim. Despite its success, Square Enix released IO Interactive last May, cutting the company loose based on "disagreements" with the franchise, leaving Agent 47's future in question. New Hitman content may be on the way, however; a leaked logo and a mysterious announcement on Twitter heavily hints at a new title.
A logo with the words "HITMAN 2" (using the 2016 game's all-capitalized title) supposedly appeared on the WB Games' website Monday night. The logo was taken down soon after it appeared. WB Games purchased the distribution rights to Hitman back in April and released HITMAN: Definitive Edition soon after. If there is a new Hitman game in the works, WB Games will be the distributor.
Hitman's official Twitter page (@HITMAN) also posted a tweet on Monday that lends more credence to a future release in the very near future. The Tweet reads the following:
Good afternoon, 47. The profiles have been uploaded. Your next target is...
This tweet also features a video of a blurred figure and the words "Access Denied // June 7th, 2018" flashing across it.
While it's still uncertain if this means a new title (perhaps HITMAN: Season 2), there will be an announcement this Thursday. Fans are hoping for a fresh title, but the announcement could be anything. HITMAN is well-known for releasing "elusive targets," which are essentially bonus missions within the pre-existing levels. Some fans even speculate this could be a port of the game to Nintendo's Switch, which has recently seen ports of several titles. As any HITMAN player knows, the fun is in the anticipatory waiting. Agent 47 will be stepping out of the shadows this Thursday, and he's not likely to miss his target.

By Cassidy Sparks | August 13, 2020 – As a kid with a dream, there is nothing more exciting than having someone show you that they believe in your talent. That is exactly what Netflix has done for a group of young Nigerian filmmakers.
Across the world in Ikorodu, a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria, a group of young kids known as the "Ikorodu Bois," is capturing the attention of the world with their re-creations of popular music videos and movies.
The Sanni brothers, Muiz, 15, and Maleek, 10, Babatunde, 23, and their cousin Fawas Aina, 13, have been using random items and innovation to produce their projects — until now.
On Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2020, they shared the exciting news on their Twitter page, indicating they'd been gifted real filmmaking equipment by Netflix. In the video, they show off a handheld gimbal stabilizer, an iMac, a camera monitor, and more.
"Netflix, thank you so much," they said in unison.
"This is like a dream come true." another said.
Their recent project where they recreated the Netflix action film Extraction, is what led to the gift.
They received 1.3M views and 13K comments on the video where they tagged both lead actor Chris Hemsworth and Netflix.
Despite their limited resources, these young men's ability to mimick scenes and create costumes and props, is a part of the wow factor.
Hemsworth shared his support and reposted the video on his Instagram.
"Huge shout out to these amazing young filmmakers @ikorodu_bois for recreating @extraction trailer shot for shot! I think your version might be better than the original !! @netflixfilm"
With their talent, creativity, and now quality equipment we can only imagine what these young filmmakers will produce next.

"Why are Christians so …?" – Brad Jersak
Watch the video! Ouch, eh?
I guess the most positive answer is that Christ has sought out, found and gathered the worst of the worst into his family of grace. If the family of God is truly open to the those most in need of grace, then don't be surprised if those most in need of grace (the angry, the annoying, the arrogant) show up.
I guess the most negative answer is that having experienced that radical grace, we (the angry, annoying and arrogant) have not yet been transformed by it into gracious people. Why is this? Because we are an "already and not yet" people. Still …
How is it that Jesus could say, "Those who have been forgiven much, love much." Was he mistaken? Or perhaps our Christianity has been rooted less in a realization of the profundity of God's forgiveness and too much in how well he's met our consumer needs.There's real resistance these days to saying the Jesus prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner," because we don't want to identify with the condemnation of that scary word. But in so resisting, maybe we've also lost sight of our need for mercy. Maybe we, like the Corinthians, have become too comfortable with strutting our identity in Christ as if we were kings instead of Jesus. "We are kings," they said. Paul replies, "If only you were."
This needs more thought. But if we're not sure that Christians are still sinners, just do the google search.
And if we are very sure that we are 'sinners saved by grace,' then maybe that grace should show.Sincerely,
A sinner hoping grace will do it's work.
And if we are very sure that we are 'sinners saved by grace,' then maybe that grace should show.Sincerely,
A sinner hoping grace will do it's work.

Many people are unhappy with the way that their teeth look. There are now many cosmetic treatments and materials that can improve the appearance of your teeth.
Bonding, uses a composite resin (a plastic material) that is color matched to a patient's teeth to correct dental problems. It is one of the most common cosmetic treatments and is safe on children to adults. Reasons for bonding include: badly fractured or chipped teeth; cavities, small teeth and widely spaced, malformed, or badly stained teeth.
Bonding Before and After
The Dental Bonding Procedure
To start, a mild etching solution is applied to the enamel of the tooth being treated. The etching solution causes the tooth enamel to become slightly rough, which will allow other materials to bond to the tooth. Next, the tooth is painted with resin (a liquid plastic material). The durable resin adheres to the etched surface, where it is held firmly.
At this stage, the dentist may choose to either apply a composite resin, or bond acrylic or porcelain veneers to the teeth depending on the problem being treated.
The composite resin is a thicker plastic material that is used to form, rebuild, or replace parts of a tooth. After the composite resin has been shaped, it is hardened by either a chemical process or by exposure to a special light. The surface of the composite resin will then be polished.
The acrylic or porcelain veneers use the same resin materials as the bonding agent and are bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth.
Advantages and Limitations of Bonding
There are many advantages to bonding. Bonding can improve the appearance of teeth without drilling or anesthesia. Teeth that have been bonded generally require a shorter treatment period and may cost less than crowns.
Bonding also has limitations. Bonding is used primarily as a way to improve the cosmetic appearance of the front teeth. Teeth that have been bonded are not strong enough to withstand the pressure that is exerted on the back teeth or any of the chewing surfaces of the teeth.
Bonded teeth typically have an average life of 3-5 years which is somewhat shorter than the average life of a crown. Composite resin materials also have a tendency to stain rather easily, especially if the person smokes, drinks coffee or tea, or eats certain types of foods. Over time, bonded teeth can appear more discolored than regular teeth.
Veneers offer a more permanent solution to bonding. Veneers allow for minimal removal of tooth structure. With veneers, teeth can be made to the ideal shape, size, and color.
In Summary…
There are several cosmetic treatments that improve the appearance of your teeth and smile. A dentist will be able to recommend a particular treatment after a thorough examination of your teeth and considering your individual needs.
If you are unhappy with the way that your teeth look, check with a dentist about the many different techniques that can be used in cosmetic dentistry. Many people, just like you, have taken this step, and have happier, more beautiful smiles to prove it.

Cinema – the art of slow view, Solzhenitsyn didn't catch. The movie just didn't keep up with him, though always longed to be extremely relevant medium splash adaptations occurred at the beginning of the 1970s, coincided with the awarding the writer the Nobel prize. What you can see on the works of Alexander Solzhenitsyn and about him in our list.
- Solzhenitsyn. The story of biography [+VIDEO]
- Archpriest Nikolai Chernyshev: what I was asked Solzhenitsyn
- Alexander Solzhenitsyn – life and death in photos
- Stepan Solzhenitsyn: there Was a time when I had no idea that the Pope is an outstanding writer
Contradictions, which concealed and continues to conceal the image of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn – first of all for others, strangers, friends, enemies, colleagues, authorities, readers – written so many that to discuss them separately, probably pretty meaningless. He was a great (but capable of weakness) writer and an extraordinary person (sometimes it even seems that Superman), who was able to tell the country and the world about the Gulag; it was a lump, standing on her in spite of everything, looked a fragment of some former world. And yet… Varlam Shalamov had their reasons to accuse Solzhenitsyn that he became a "weapon in the cold war".
And Solzhenitsyn himself as if there was little to see yourself as only a writer and thinker. He had a modernist swing, which in the sixties was not honored (already required a certain self-irony) to go to something more than just to be an author. And he was, time didn't catch up with him, twisting the shaft, each time seeing it as someone new, someone that was easy to see: the 1970s saw a victim of the regime, 1980s – Savior of Russia (even in a comical twist, like Voinovich "Moscow 2042"), the leaders of Perestroika and Yeltsin was considered a monarchist and a dedicated anti-Communist, Putin's era was welcomed as a patriot-statesman. But Solzhenitsyn himself always was something not quite perceptible, naked ambition, is too big for a brief description of the animal. Like the elephant in the parable about the blind wise men.
It is no coincidence that cinema is the art of slow view, Solzhenitsyn didn't catch. The movie just didn't keep up with him, though always longed to be extremely relevant medium splash adaptations occurred at the beginning of the 1970s, coincided with the awarding the writer the Nobel prize. In 1970, the year: Swedish TV version of "the Case at station Krechetovka" (in the USSR the story put young Gleb Panfilov as an academic work) and the Swedish-British "One day of Ivan Denisovich" (starring Tom Courtenay), a spectacle, though touching in its attempt to describe the cinematic language of the day Shukhov, but vulnerable to criticism.
In 1972, follows a Danish adaptation of "the first circle", the film acts as Polish classic Alexander Ford, who left the Polish people's Republic during the anti-Semitic campaign of the late 1960s. In 1973, the British TV show Play Of the Month is taken for Solzhenitsyn's play "the Deer and shalashovka" and French television, puts on a play "candle in the wind". The next wave of interest in the works of Solzhenitsyn and the author rises in the early 1990s. Finally there is a version of "the first circle", conceived in the early 1970s (then it was assumed that the Director will be the author of the great Western "high noon" Fred Zinnemann), but is now filmed for French TV channel Antenne 2, and to the writer arrives in America, Stanislav Govorukhin (his two-part telecommuting is simply called "Alexander Solzhenitsyn", 1992), and then in Russia – Aleksandr Sokurov ("Node", 1998).
Main movies
"One day of Ivan Denisovich", 1963
The first foreign production blasts in the USSR debut novel Solzhenitsyn was done in the framework of the popular television format "Bob hope presents" (TV show sponsored by Chrysler). Today this program is made in a trendy format for color television can be viewed on YouTube. By TV standards, this 45-minute film made you can even say big costumes, huts, icicles and blowing snow made of papier-mache. The audience today and say that frost in the show Bob hope felt much sharper than in the following, a much more famous film adaptation of 1970. Perhaps the secret is that the Director of the movie was made by a native of Canada, Daniel Petri, who later glorified the next, the most sentimental of the existing version of "lassie".
"One day of Ivan Denisovich", 1970
Perhaps the most izvestna of adaptations of works by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. And all thanks to the brilliant British actor starring Shukhov – Tom Courtney. The author watched this movie, after the expulsion from the Soviet Union, will speak about the picture cautiously and very politely, thank the crew for a sincere desire to understand the content of the book and transfer it to the Western viewer, who may not adequately understand is described in his novel troubles. To the production of the film is really treated with care and devotion. Great British playwright Ronald Harwood – later will work with it Roman Polanski and Istvan Szabo has tried to accurately move to the screen the essence of the work (sometimes, however, ignoring the heroes of the second plan), and the producers postponed the shooting in the snowy Norway, to achieve a certain realism and found a consultant, former prisoner of war who worked on Soviet logging.
"Deer and shalashovka", 1973
Another interesting statement by Solzhenitsyn on television. This time in the framework of the traditional for the British TV format "the Play of the month" was filmed his play "the Deer and shalashovka", which after the success of "One day of Ivan Denisovich" almost put Moscow "Contemporary". In the framework of the "Plays of the month" worked very strong British filmmakers of the 1960-80th, but even among these professionals Alan Clark, who acted as the film's Solzhenitsyn, occupies a special position. Underrated but extremely heavily influenced the movie (without it there would be Gus van Sant and Paul Greengrass) Clark ate dog, studying the British state practice of oppression – he was filming a movie about troubled Teens and special schools, about soulless barracks and Irish fighters, about the daily terror and the injustice system. His temperament is anonymous moralist who understood the vocabulary of everyday violence, amazingly accurate fit, if not the spirit, the letter pieces to which Solzhenitsyn at the time, even made a "brief Glossary of the camp language."
"Alexander Solzhenitsyn", 1992
A great documentary Stanislav Govorukhin, who came to Alexander Solzhenitsyn in Vermont – already a living classic, the prophet. Govorukhin, it seems, seeks to dispel the Shrouding writer myths ("the Vermont Savernake" did not say just lazy) – to show his house, work and family (wife, mother, children) in daily routine – but it almost aggravates them. For Govorukhin Solzhenitsyn figure of planetary scale, and a movie about it fits well in the nonfiction trilogy begun with the movie "can't live" and completed "the Russia we lost".
"Node", 1998
"Node" Elegy Alexander Sokurov reminiscent Govorukhin, but not the tone, of course, and circumstances. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, not-Vermont, here, too, leading his guest-Director for the forest. Some of its private path. Before the viewer has recently watched every day in the news how train Solzhenitsyn inexorably approaching Moscow, and had seen the angry Mitiga particularly radical Communists, appears to be not a writer and social thinker, but rather the hermit, the last exile, which was meant while still living back home. The film was shot for the anniversary of the eightieth birthday of the writer – but this theme in the dialogues Sokurov and Solzhenitsyn is not particularly raised. Except that one time the Director asks who is older: Solzhenitsyn himself or his soul, and confused classic finds the best answer to your question.
"The first circle", 2006
The scale at the moment and again the TV attempt transcriptions of prose Solzhenitsyn. (But not the first case when I started "the first circle"). Important features there are two. First, the Director was Gleb Panfilov , one of the first korotkometrazhnyh, films which were postalen "the Case at station Krechetovka". Panfilov is now completing a new film version of "One day of Ivan Denisovich", which will turn it into the main ekranizator Solzhenitsyn. Second, the text of the author in the film voiced by the writer who took a very active part in the creation of the film, wrote the script and actually approved on the main role of Yevgeny Mironov.

What Is Hardscaping, and Why Should I Be Considering It for My Home?

Justice Secretary right to ask questions on Chief Constable return, MSPs told
23 January 2018, 14:37
The Justice Secretary would have been "failing in his duty" had he not asked questions about the decision to reinstate Chief Constable Phil Gormley, MSPs have heard.
New Scottish Police Authority (SPA) chair Susan Deacon criticised her predecessor Andrew Flanagan over his handling of the affair saying she had found the process that had been followed to be "wanting in many, many ways".
Acting chief constable Iain Livingstone also told Holyrood's Justice Committee he had effectively been cut out of the decision-making process.
Michael Matheson has faced criticism for intervening after the SPA board had agreed to restore Mr Gormley to his role on November 7, resulting in the decision being reversed later that week.
Scotland's top police officer is currently on special leave while the subject of four investigations by the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (Pirc) relating to allegations of gross misconduct, all of which he denies.
Ms Deacon said she was so concerned about the way the meeting on November 7 and others had been handled that on her very first day she notified SPA board members "we simply would not under my watch be handling these matters in the same way in future".
She said: "I've looked quite carefully at that particular meeting that has become the matter of considerable public attention and I found it wanting in many, many ways in terms of its process.
"And I will just add since this is also a matter of some considerable debate that had I been in the cabinet secretary's shoes, and I have walked in these types of shoes in the past, then I would have asked questions about process as to how that decision had been made and personally I think the Cabinet Secretary would be failing in his duty had he not asked those questions.
"I will also say for the record that if at any stage in my tenure as chair of the SPA the processes that I follow required to be questioned in that way by a Cabinet Secretary then I would regard that I would have failed in my duty as chair."
She said she was working to address criticisms of the body as quickly as possible but added, "I think it will take many months for the SPA to really be operating in the way both in systems, cultures, practice, governance structures and so on that I think it needs to do."
Meanwhile Mr Livingstone said he had asked for an update from Mr Flanagan after the November 7 meeting and the following day was told that "deliberations were ongoing".
He said he was then told by Mr Flanagan on November 10 the SPA had taken the decision to extend Mr Gormley's leave.
"But I wasn't told actually that there had been a decision, a reconsideration and then another decision," he said.
He has previously disputed a claim that adequate welfare provisions had been put in place to support the welfare of officers involved in the probes on Mr Gormley's return.
He told the committee: "There were no welfare or wellbeing steps put in place because I was never told that they were necessary."
Mr Livingstone said he could not categorically say that no one else in Police Scotland was aware of Mr Gormley's proposed return but said if they had been it would have been a "extremely discourteous" breach of protocol that would have left him "extremely annoyed and disappointed".
He reassured MSPs that despite ongoing issues around governance and accountability there was no "crisis" in policing and he was confident there was adequate resilience at chief officer level in the force.

Hydro One Brampton launches new OPA energy program with Sheridan College
February 6, 2012 - Hydro One Brampton and Sheridan College have launched the Ontario Power Authority (OPA)'s new Audit Funding Incentive program, designed to help businesses uncover potential energy savings opportunities through an energy audit.
February 6, 2012 By Alyssa Dalton
Hydro One Brampton was recently invited to the college, who wanted to showcase the student energy audit program.
"[We] recognized immediately that partnering with Sheridan on the Audit Funding Incentive would have multiple benefits," noted the utility. For Sheridan, student education including training on real-world health and safety issues, processes, factory operations, and measurement techniques. Meanwhile, Hydro One Brampton passed on information in the areas of health and safety, engineering, and energy services to the students.
In return, the partners said businesses benefit from thorough and unbiased energy-efficiency improvement recommendations. "It is also very economical because Sheridan's auditing program is based on cost recovery in conjunction with the incentive funding," they added.
Partnering with Sheridan offers extra value to this program as it accomplishes the primary goal of identifying energy savings, while providing practical hands-on experience to an upcoming generation of energy professionals, said the utility. Under the supervision of qualified faculty professionals, student auditors are able to investigate and expose any energy inefficiencies. A detailed report of the findings and recommendations is then provided to the customer.
"Hydro One Brampton has a history of delivering a variety of energy services and programs to businesses in Brampton and to date we have assisted over 100 of our larger business customers improve their energy efficiency," said Scott Miller, director of Regulatory Affairs and Communications.
"These programs have been developed specifically to fit the various needs of our business customers. We currently have an incentive program for everything from lighting to compressors, process changes, and re-commissioning of HVAC systems for large and small businesses. In short, if you have an idea to reduce your electrical usage, Hydro One Brampton will help you find a program to assist you in your efforts," he continued.
The program officially launched last Thursday at the Magna-Plastcoat facility in Brampton, Ont., and was attended by Remy Fernandes, president and CEO, Hydro One Brampton; Jocelyn Piercy, dean, Faculty of Applied Science and Technology, Sheridan College; and Marek Poplawski, general manager, Magna Exteriors & Interiors – Plastcoat.

Clarks Hill Fishing Report – May 2006
GON Staff | May 1, 2006
Clarks Hill: Level: 1.8 feet below full pool. Temp: Mid to high 60s. Clarity: Very clear.
Bass: Good, according to Clarks Hill guide William Sasser. "The Top Six tournament (on the lake April 24-25) should be hitting it just right," he said. The largemouths are on the points and in the blow-throughs and hitting a variety of baits from spinnerbaits to flukes to crankbaits and topwater.
Stripers/Hybrids: Feast or famine, said William. On April 20, the stripers and hybrids turned on in the area in front of the dam with huge areas of schooling fish on top. "Everyone out there was limiting on live bait or things like a Gotcha Shad," said William. "But a few days later it was hard to catch a fish." That schooling activity down the lake should improve and become more consistent as the fish congregate. Live bluebacks on a downline and freelined live bait will catch fish, and have a fluke or other topwater ready to through to breaking fish. The fish that we mentioned last month rumored to be a new Clarks Hill lake-record hybrid at about 24 pounds proved to be a striped bass.
Crappie: Excellent. Catching crappie on minnows fished on brush and trees he has placed in the lake is William's specialty, and he said that during 14 straight days fishing his worst trip was 55 fish and his best was more than 100 crappie — and some good ones. "We have caught seven crappie that weighed more than three pounds apiece in the last two weeks," he said. "I had two brothers who caught two over three pounds one morning from a sunken tree in 30 feet of water. One weighed 3.8 pounds; the other one weighed 3.6 on digital scales." The crappie spawn is over at Clarks Hill, and the fish are heading for deep structure in a hurry, said William. Normally in May and June William catches crappie from structure in 20 to 30 feet of water back in the creeks. This year already he has caught fish from brush in water as deep as 50 feet out in the main river runs.
Shellcracker: Clarks Hill is known for producing big shellcracker, and May is the month, says William. "If you can find them, this lake has some monster shellcracker," he said. The best way to find them, he says, is to ride the lake at night with a Q-beam searching the shallows for the fish. When William finds fish on a bank, he will return and anchor in the area off the bank — then cast worms out on the bottom in the opposite direction. "You aren't going to catch the biggest fish up on the bank," he said. "You may see some beds up in the shallow water, but the bigger fish are going to be on beds in four to six feet of water."

ORLANDO, Fla. (Reuters) -Remember 'Japanification'?
After the financial crash of 2008, a consensus emerged that the United States and Europe would slide into the sort of multi-decade economic malaise Japan experienced after its property bust of the 1990s - where the effects of a rapidly ageing population saw waves of excess savings, slow growth and persistent deflationary pressures.
Termed 'Japanification', the diagnosis involved chronically low or negative interest rates and bond yields, with repeat bouts of bond-buying 'quantitative easing' and mounting debt piles.
When COVID-19 hit, many doubled down on that view.
And yet inflation in the United States and Europe has surged to its highest in four decades.
Initially dismissed as transitory due to the bottlenecks and base effects of the post-pandemic reopening, price rises are proving more durable and pervasive than central banks had hoped and many are already lifting interest rates.
An energy price shock since Russia's invasion of Ukraine compounds the problem. And U.S. Treasury bonds have had their worst quarter in at least 25 years.
So is the 'Japanification' thesis now dead?
Steve Major, head of global fixed income research at HSBC, says it's very much alive, and offers three broad reasons: the Fed's own recent 'dot plot' projections, current market pricing, and the long-term structural drivers that existed before 2008.
Federal Reserve policymakers this month raised their median projection of where they see rates peaking to 2.8% next year from 2.1% in 2024 as per their December forecast.
This is well into 'restrictive' territory - defined as rates above the Fed's assumption of long-term neutral rates - and increases the chance of a recession that will probably see rates and bond yields quickly come back down again.
Several measures of yield and rates curves - nominal, real, and forward - back up this view.
Crucially, Fed policymakers also lowered their longer-term neutral rate forecast to 2.4% from 2.5% where it had been since 2019. This is no rounding error, but a result of three policymakers lowering their long-term outlook.
The Fed is essentially indicating that the long-term trend for the neutral rate of interest is still downward because the economy is not strong enough to withstand higher rates.
Ultimately, the deflationary pull exerted by huge and rising debt levels, ageing populations, high degrees of wealth inequality, and rapid technological advances is strong.
"These trends are very powerful and are things that the central bank has no control over. Can the central bank control how old people are?," Major says, adding: "The 'lower for longer' hypothesis is intact. And the market at the moment supports it."
The pandemic has cast some doubt over the long-held view that ageing and related worker shortages over time are as deflationary as Japan's experience suggests.
The most powerful of those arguments - outlined by economists Charles Goodhart and Manoj Pradhan just before the pandemic - is that worker shortages will ultimately lift the bargaining power of labor and wages and help reflate prices more generally.
But demographics are a double whammy for interest rates in the long term. Ageing populations and shrinking workforces cut potential growth rates over time while workers nearing retirement typically bank life savings into safer bonds.
Bouts of inflation and rising bond yields are possible, as we are seeing now, but they are less likely to last.
Curiously, one of the Fed's most hawkish rate-setters revealed that the Fed still agrees with the 'lower for longer' outlook.
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard dissented against the Fed's 25-basis point rate hike to a 0.25%-0.50% range on March 16, and voted for a 50 bps increase. He has since called for rates to rise beyond 3%.
But he also sees the long-run equilibrium policy rate at 2%. Assuming the Fed brings inflation back down to its 2% target, that implies a real policy rate, known as 'R-star', of zero.
Estimates of R-star vary and the Fed's median estimate is now 0.4%, so zero would not be a total surprise. The New York Fed stopped updating its estimates in 2020 due to the pandemic, but the long-term downtrend is clear.
Albert Edwards at Societe Generale has been a long-term bond bull for the all these structural reasons, correctly calling the decline in yields and interest rates as part of his 'Ice Age' view of the global economy and markets.
He thinks a thaw is eventually coming, and thinks inflationary pressures from soaring commodity and energy prices, fiscal largesse, and expanding deficits will overwhelm and crash the bond market.
But despite the scramble to re-price bonds amid the central bank hawkishness of recent months, this quake is still not the big one.
"This isn't the end of the bond bull market in the near term. This spike in commodities will ultimately be deflationary and will kill global demand," Edwards said, adding: "The Fed is going to tighten until they put the economy back into recession, and that won't take very long."
Edwards reckons the 10-year Treasury yield can revisit its record low from August 2020 around 0.5%, a level historically associated with Japanese yields.

A term that often takes on a negative connotation is quickly becoming marketers' greatest competitive advantage. We're talking, of course, about artificial intelligence (AI). Now...before getting carried away with thoughts of world destruction, let's take a step back to get an understanding of what AI is, how it's currently impacting marketing communications and processes, and how it will continue to do so into the future.
Artificial Intelligence is defined as "the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages."
In comparison to the computers we use everyday, which are programmed with algorithms and a set of instructions telling the machine what to do, AI is initially programmed by humans, but sets its own algorithms and creates its own instructions over time based on the intelligence it gathers through various forms of recognition and communication.
But what makes AI so special, differentiating it from human intelligence? The difference is most apparent when dealing with large amounts of data.
Imagine that your industrial company created a white paper intended to reach three different target personas. The piece blows past its conversion goals, collecting more than 1,000 conversions and downloads resulting in hundreds of new contacts in just a few weeks. Some of these contacts originated from your email campaign promoting the piece, others from your social media campaign, etc.
Could you imagine looking at this data and trying to create personalized emails and web experiences for these these individuals?
Simply put, the human brain was not meant to solve these types of complex data-driven challenges. We weren't meant to sort through large amounts of data to find meaningful insights. That's exactly where AI becomes our greatest ally.
Roughly, 63% of people don't realize they're already using AI. A few common examples are opening your phone or paying through apps using facial recognition, smart replies on Gmail and LinkedIn, Google Search, recommendations on Netflix and Amazon, recommended articles to read on websites, and many more.
AI is using information about us to make day-to-day activities easier, and since our lives are already so closely tied to AI, it should also be used as an asset to us as marketers.
So, how will AI affect our marketing efforts now and in the future? The 5 Ps of Artificial Intelligence can help us out:
1. Planning: Predicting buyer behaviors, defining strategies, and prioritizing activities
2. Production: Creating, curating and optimizing content (e.g., blog posts, landing pages, emails and ads)
3. Personalization: Personalizing buyer experiences through intelligently automated emails, content and product recommendations and web experiences, as well as sending emails to your contacts when they are most likely to open and engage with them
4. Promotion: Managing cross-channel and cross-device promotions to drive engagement and actions
5. Performance: Turning data into intelligence through automated narratives and insights (e.g., HubSpot sales Pro lead score)
These insights and actions on behalf of AI will create a major competitive advantage for marketers, as you will be able to focus much more time and energy on tasks that require personal connection and human experience rather than crunching data. While AI probably won't be creating riveting white papers or eBooks any time soon, it will create actionable insights based on the data it analyzes and help marketers understand the prospects they are targeting.
You're probably wondering, "How can marketers start implementing AI?" "What are the best AI-assisted marketing platforms/tools?" Going back to HubSpot, the marketing and sales software company is not hiding its intentions to make AI a priority, as they acquired Kemvi and Motion.ai in 2017.
Kemvi is AI that has algorithms to extract important information from text like a human does, and can also shed light on prospect behavior by taking key insights from content all over the internet. Motion.ai, on the other hand, has chatbots that enable businesses to have one-on-one conversations with prospects and customers at scale with HubSpot Conversations. These two assets should make HubSpot a leader in AI for companies across the globe, and more importantly, make marketers' jobs a heck of a lot easier.
Other HubSpot AI-powered tools include content strategy, which uses machine learning to help you find out which themes search engines associate with your content, and predictive lead scoring to help sales teams prioritize leads.
HubSpot certainly isn't the only marketing and sales platform diving into AI, it's branding itself as a leader with tools to make your company more efficient and more profitable.
How to Implement AI
Now that we've achieved an understanding of AI and its capabilities, it's important to look at how it can help your marketing and sales efforts in 2018 and beyond. Whether it's simply using AI to sort through data or engaging with prospects via chat, defining these areas of need will be key in using this powerful tool to help you reach your business goals.

I am especially interested in the deep hypothermic circulatory arrest used for this because it's a great example of survivable human brain ischemia. My colleagues in cardiac anesthesia are particularly interested in brain protection during cardiac surgery and I am interested in brain protection in all situations. So I have taken a bit of an interest in this. (Click on all figures to expand)
Some observations:
Here is the number of DHCA cases that my colleagues do annually:
Some pretty good program growth here.
Here is the distribution of
time of DHCA for aortic arch repair. John
Augoustides gave me this figure:
This figure from data collected by Albert Cheung and colleagues suggests that after about a half hour to an hour time's up:
Yes this is interesting but maybe the biomarkers were elevated by the bypass itself. So Hetal Hosalkar, John Augoustides, myself and others organized an effort to compare in vs out suggesting that the brain by 20 minutes of DHCA is putting out S100(* p<.05):
In regular CABG surgery we were able to show that
the postop release of biomarkers of brain injury varied according to genotype. Here we demonstrate that having the ApoeE4 genotype results in higher levels of S100.
Maybe it makes for worse neuro outcome, but we did not measure that:
Despite the above data, the patients generally do remarkably well
after such a big operation. I worry that
there may be some fairly subtle neurocognitive effects that vary with
genotype. This material is taken from the preliminary
data of a grant I am working on. I am
just dying to know if this model can be used to make generalizable
about variations in genotypes and their impact on human brain ischemia,
using SNP technology. It is taking so long to get it funded this
may be a literal description (the dying part). Much
of it is already published and can be found by searching on the names
Kofke, Cheung, and
This is what I'll look like by the time this stuff gets funded:

A Look at the First Medical Metaverse
Aimedis is a platform that offers health services and is used by patients, healthcare professionals, and institutions. It's also the world's first medical and scientific NFT marketplace supported by AIMX tokens.
Aimedis will soon launch AIMSocial, a blockchain platform for patients to support each other and share experiences about treatments, diseases, and related information. Along with that, there will be an e-pharmacy and virtual hospital. The Aimedis Social Media Network will also have doctors, nurses, and other healthcare specialists supporting patients.
Have a look at the first demo of Aimedis Alpha Hospital — The Department of Radiology.
"Alpha Hospital of the Aimedis Virtual Hospital Chain in the Metaverse — the first one of it's kind. This room will not only help you learn about the possibilities an MRI offers but also gives patients the opportunity to fight their fear of being inside an MRI using Virtual Reality,"
the video's description reads.
On The Flipside
- Through the metaverse, Aimedis challenges the way patients and healthcare specialists interact and process information.
- As written in Aimedis' blog, "Metaverse applications in surgical and clinic-based scenarios can expand access for patients while allowing doctors to treat more patients."

The things people say:
People say "time heals all wounds" maybe that's true. However what they can't tell you is what the word "time' means in that statement. I often say"no-one can tell you how long to grieve" and to be honest it comes and goes. It has been 27 months so why does it feel like my world just changed?
Have you ever taken a moment to look at yourself in the mirror, I mean really look at yourself? I look in the mirror daily and not only to adjust my hair or my clothes. I look at "her" I look at Kimberly the woman who now stands in this world without her late husband Devan. And I am consistently amazed at my very own strength which comes straight from God. Thinking back I thought I would be in a different space two years later. Then again I don't really think I thought this far ahead. I can say that the pain is real. And I have never felt this type of emptiness before my Devans transition.
I don't allow people to say to me "it will get better" although I do understand over time it will. However, it still hurts deeply! Of, course I am not in the same exact spot I was when my Devan first transitioned. But then again that depends on the day and time because sometimes it does feel like it just happened.
I understand that most people just don't know what to say therefore they say should probably say nothing at all. I also understand that a lot of people want to say something profound. Which can sometimes come off as being insensitive. And that may not be the case at all, because people can only give you what they possess.
So if they don't have the correct words they can't give them. Remembering that it can be hard to tell someone else how to feel, or what will happen in a situation you've never experienced. And that is what births the understanding "slightly" I say slightly because some of it is just common sense.
When I hear people say "I don't know what to say or do with someone that has lost a loved one" my response is this "what would you want someone to say or do to and for you'? It's basically that simple and I realize that people want different things during the grieving process. But one thing I believe everyone wants is to be comforted, loved, and not to be forgotten about.
I often talk about how I feel like a lot of people (even in my close circle) may think I need to move on with my life and stop talking about the transition of my Devan. I know they would say that's not true, however, the actions of people speak much louder than the words they say out of their mouth. Unfortunately, for some until and when they go through something similar they may just not get it. So with that, I will continue to walk in love as I continue on this journey. I will always express how I feel with no apologies and trusting God with every single step that I take. While I continue to be patient with myself because this is a completely new life and walk for me. I have journeyed a mighty long way and I have a ways to go.
I don't know if "time heals all wounds" is a fair and true statement or not. However, for me I just allow myself to be present in each moment. Which again means I feel it all and I will never apologize for where I am in each moment.
So whoever is reading this let me say it is okay to be where you are and feel what and how you feel for as long as you need to. Because "time" is subjective which means it's personal. Also remembering that God does not see "time" the way we do.
Keep going!

The battle over a Texas order limiting ballot drop-off locations, explained
"There was no legitimate justification to reduce the number of ballot drop-off locations," Ravi Doshi, senior legal counsel at the Campaign Legal Center, one of the groups bringing a legal challenge, told me before Friday's ruling. "That has been said by county election officials, who are the ones that actually administer this election." Doshi added that some county clerks see the drop-off locations as more secure, since the ballots are going directly into the hands of election officials, avoiding the middleman of the USPS, and voters have to provide identification when they drop off their ballot.

Dear America,
Today is going to be an interesting day in American politics. Donald Trump is going to Mexico to meet with the country's president, Enrique Peña Nieto at Nieto's invitation, a meeting that has been described as being between "the two most unpopular men in Mexico." Nieto has a popularity rating in the low 20%'s range, and Trump is losing popular approval daily in his quest for the American presidency...so much so that he is beginning to hedge on bets that he was eager to be identified by at the beginning of his campaign. So you've got to hand it to Trump; he is voluntarily meeting with the man who has said point blank that there will be no payment by Mexico for an American border wall, that wall being Trump's salient promise since it fell from his careless lips in the first day or two of his quest for national power. And Trump is going to a country that he has characterized as sending us drugs, rapists and murderers from day one of his political life in this country, so what are the odds that there will be a popular groundswell of approval when he lands in Mexico City. My guess is that Nieto, unpopular as he is, is inviting Trump to Mexico despite the fact that the rest of the world's leaders take Trump seriously only in the same way as they do the Zika virus. He has calculated that he can embarrass Trump in public and thus aggrandize himself with his own people. The pair will meet today, and then, I would speculate, there will be either one joint press conference or two individual ones, and that's when we'll know for sure. But consider the prospects for Nieto.
If he bows to Trump's will, the Mexican electorate that dislikes him anyway will be enraged that their president attempted to mollify a bigot who ostensibly despises Mexico, and thus, by doing so he will be sealing his political fate...and not in a good way. On the other hand, if he humiliates Trump publicly, Nieto becomes something of a dragon slayer...the Mexican political equivalent of Saint George, and in a Catholic country, that could go a long way. So the odds in favor of Trump coming away from this confabulation with a political gain seem remote at best, because even if Nieto agreed, he has a legislature too, and his commitment means nothing without its approval in the form of a budget allocation, or of a treaty or something akin to it. Trump's opponents can just dismiss such a promise as one of Trump's bombastic gestures, and they'll be on firm ground. Thus, as far as political "cred" is concerned, Trump has nothing to gain, while if he fails to get this wall financed by Mexico, his claim to being able to accomplish such--a claim after which he always says, "believe me"--he will be discredited in front of the entire world, and the phrase "believe me" will become the subject of mockery and late-night taunts by television comedians rather than a mantra that he can intone every time he says something absurd. As to his support from constituents, they will see that his central boast is a complete myth at best, and more likely an utter self-serving fabrication. His putative artistry in making deals will be just another bit of braggadocio...a sort of declaration of character bankruptcy to go with the financial bankruptcies that he claims are just the way business is done. As a consequence, nothing he says will be credible in the future, and that will be the effective end of Donald Trump as a prospective president. You've got to give Trump credit; he is wagering all of his prospects on the good will of a man who has already repudiated him by rejecting his demands. Today is all or nothing for Trump, and he is letting an adversary make the choice. Whether it's a gutsy move or a stupid one only time will tell.
I understand that Trump doesn't see this a cockiness. He believes what he says, and hence he thinks that he can cause the President of another country to concede to him just on the basis of force of personality. But this decision is somewhat like Hillary Clinton's choice to put her emails on a private server. It isn't so much that these decisions have or will likely lead to political disaster that makes them negatively emblematic of the persons making them. It is that both decisions were imprudent at best right from the beginning. Clinton's server has been all over the news, and everyone in the nation has expressed an opinion on it, but Bernie Sanders said it best: it was the lack of judgment in Clinton's decision that made it notable. If Trump doesn't succeed--and what are the odds--the decision to even go to Mexico much less to meet with a politico who has nothing to gain by acceding to Trump's will make the imprudence of Hillary Clinton look like pure genius, and in the bargain, demonstrate that Donald Trump is nothing but a blustering blatherskite who lacks judgment: a narcissistic clown who would not be a strong leader, but rather would be the object of derision and jocund references in every capital around the world. I think Trump has been outfoxed...used by a smarter politician, and it cannot redound to his credit.
I am filled with glee at the prospect of Trump's political demise. My heart is racing as I write in anticipation of tonight's evening news. This is the best thing to happen to me in weeks. Imagine how Hillary Clinton feels.
Your friend,

ROCKFORD, Ill. — No one could sum it better than Riot coach Andy Lovseth did after the semifinal game between Seattle Riot and San Francisco Fury: "That was a fucking fantastic game."
A Riot-Fury matchup nearly always results in thrills, excitement, and a big comeback or two. This chapter in the rivalry had them all as Riot defeated Fury 15-14 on double game point.
Fury burst out of the gates with a vengeance. After two opening holds, Fury went on a series of breaks to jump out to a 4-1 lead. San Francisco mixed up their defensive looks early. They threw three distinct defenses in the game's opening point – person, a traditional 3-3-1 zone, and a diamond zone. Fury's force middle looks put pressure on Riot's offense and made them uncomfortable while Fury's D-line offense was efficient.
And then, suddenly, the game completely flipped on its head. Riot got all three breaks back before half to get back on serve. Down 5-2, Riot held for 5-3 and Jaclyn Verzuh was able to swing the momentum in her team's favor for the first time. After Kaela Jorgenson slightly overthrew Alex Snyder to give Riot possession of the disc, Julia Snyder put a floaty forehand to the end zone. Verzuh chugged down the field and got horizontal to make the first big play of the game for Riot.
From that point, Riot went on a 7-2 run to open up an 11-7 lead. Just before and right out of half, Riot was absolutely dominant. An incredible layout score for Shira Stern highlighted Riot's run, which was characterized by relentless defense, and tremendous disc handling from Alyssa Weatherford and Kelly Johnson.
In the game's first six points, it looked as though Fury would run all over Riot. Over the next nine, Riot ran rampant. At 11-8, there had been two massive momentum swings, a number of highlight reel plays, and strategic changes, and the game was just warming up.
After Fury got that first hold of the second half, Julia Snyder made an inexplicable decision and threw the disc right into Jorgenson early in the count for an easy Fury block. Katie Ryan got absolutely enormous over a pair of Riot defenders for the emphatic break. The play set the tone of play for the remainder of the game.
Riot held and then broke Fury relatively easy and the game looked over at 13-9. But there was one more major momentum swing yet to come. Fury got the needed hold to make it 13-10 and brought their best defensive pressure of the game on the ensuing point.
Claire Desmond got huge to layout block to a reset throw, but the disc popped up into the air and over Weatherford. When Anna Nazarov made an off balance, leaping block a few throws later, though, Riot wasn't quite as lucky. Fury looked to strike quickly, but Bailey Zahniser climbed the ladder for a monstrous catch block over Desmond.
Fury got the disc back shortly thereafter, and after a couple of gorgeous break throws they did punch in the break. It ended the best point of the game and started a wild final stretch.
Charlie Eide decided that it was her turn to make a jaw-dropping play and posterized Marika Austin to make it 14-11. Pushed to the very brink, Fury again stepped up their game.
A hold was followed by yet another play of the game contender, this time from Nazarov. With Riot on offense and a chance to win the game, Weatherford looked to hit Stern upfield for about a 15 yard gain. Navarov, trailing Stern by a step or two, exploded forward and launched in front of her mark for the layout block.
Fury patiently worked on O from there for the break. After a Geli Boyden throw into traffic gave Fury another great break opportunity, Desmond and Lakshmi Narayan both made great possession saving catches and Nazarov found Carolyn Finney to finish off the break to set up double game point.
With a trip to the final in the balance, Riot's offense rose to the moment. They executed their offense perfectly, working the disc up expertly. Weatherford was left all alone and she found Fontenette equally as open for the game winning score. It felt strange for a game that had been filled with turnovers and insane plays to be finished by such a simple score. But it was impressive that Riot was able to block out the potential weight of the moment.
"That last point, that was our offense," said Lovseth. "It was going back and forth, attacking downfield for yards, getting our swings, getting our breaks off; that was beautiful. That's what we've been working on since April. It was really awesome."
"Every point's a new opportunity to be great and we're looking to be great," he continued. "They executed. [Kelly Johnson] executed, Alyssa [Weatherford] executed, [Sarah Griffith] executed, Calise [Cardenas] was grinding out there, and Dom [Fontenette] is sneaky as fuck so she caught the game winning goal again. She's just awesome. I'm really proud of that last point a lot."
Fontenette had her own thoughts on what it was like to be on the field for that point. "[Rather than what's going on in my head,] it's more like what's going through my stomach, my heart, and all that. You've got the nervous energy and I just think about the simple things," she said. "Even after having played this game for 23 years, or however long I've played, I'm still nervous on that line, but I just think, 'I just gotta do my job.' And I have trust and faith that everyone on my line is gonna do their job too."
Over that long span, Fontenette has taken part in plenty of games against Fury, and she thought this one ranked up there with some of the best in the rivalry's history. "It's another one, man. I was on this team in the '90s and in the late 2000s, and every time Fury plays Riot it is a frickin' battle. And they have our number, you know? Worlds 2014 was one. This was another one. Every time you know one team is gonna come back. It's never a closed door. Even when we were up by four I was yelling at my team, 'Hey, it's not over, it's not over, you can't let up on this team."
Fury coach Matty Tsang agreed. "That was a good one right there," he said, laughing. "It was definitely exciting. There were some runs in there and definitely changes in momentum, I think you saw both offenses get in their heads and get scared."
"Fury showed a lot of heart and a lot of determination to go up," said Lovseth. "Their energy was great at the beginning. And then to fight back after being 13-9 down. We had our blips, but we kept fighting, too. I just loved that game. That was a great game."
A great game indeed.
