Last week I was at my daughter's gymnastics practice when a pretty demanding migraine hit me. I didn't want to snatch my daughter out of practice because it would hinder her goal of becoming the first professional princess to win a gold medal in gymnastics!
So, I called my husband and asked him to trade places with me so I could go home and nurse my headache. He came right after work, still in his ABU's.
Just yesterday, I was at gymnastics practice again with "the Princess" and I noticed how many men were there. Not just men, but military fathers. Most of them, like my hubby, still had on their uniforms. One particular guy caught my eye when I decided to purposely look around the gym. He was having this deep conversation about dirty, smelly field rotations………..in his uniform, all while holding on to his daughter's pink (with glitter too) duffle bag! I loved it!
That pink duffle bag made me realize how much I DON'T thank my husband enough for what he does at home. I express my pride and gratitude for what he does as a military Airman, the media and higher ups thank him for his sacrifices and everything he does for our country; but when was the last time I actually thanked him for the things he does at home?
I know sometimes we get caught up in life, at least I do. We do so much as military wives/girlfriends, especially those of us with children. When our husbands step up and help out with the family side of things, we are probably so exhausted that we tend to forget to say "thank you".
Am I alone? When was the last time you thanked your husband, not for being a soldier, but for being a husband and a dad?

4 Comments on Real Men Wear Pink…Something I Realized While At My Daughter's Gymnastics Practice
I'm a little torn on this. Thanking him for coming to practice so I could leave, you bet. Taking our daughter to practice and holding her pink bag, that's part of the gig. As Shadia pointed out he doesn't babysit the kids any more than I babysit them. Taking care of the chores around the house, part of being an adult. With that said we try showing mutual appreciation when it comes to running the household. A thank you can go along way but we both need them for all those mundane everyday task.
What a cute story… :) I can just picture all the Dad's with their daughters wearing pink! Being a daddy's girl at heart, I know how important father/daughter time is and a lot of little girls don't have their fathers present in their lives. The idea of thanking our husbands everyday for the little things is really important. It lets them know that they are appreciated. My husband thanks me all the time, not because I'm doing anything above my responsibilities as a wife or mother but because he values everything I do. We really are lucky to have these Renaissance men! Why not show them some appreciation?! <3
My husband has always been appreciative of the things I do for him and for his soldiers. I am appreciative of the things he does for the children and for me. He thanks me for everything from sending him needed items when he's away to knowing where his laid his keys. I thank him for everything from waking up early (when overseas on a different time schedule) to talk to me if I'm having a rough day to cleaning up the house or making dinner when he knows I don't really feel like it! I don't know if it's just how I was raised or if it's more about how I want my kids to grow up, but, I think it's important to acknowledge and thank anyone who does something for you, even IF you did have to ask for it to be done first. For me, it's not so much about the fact that he's doing something that's a part of his job or part of being a father or even an adult, it's that he did something and now I don't have to do it. It's about the fact that he could have left it for me to do, but, he loves me, so he didn't. Everyone needs to feel loved and appreciated, so if telling him thank you for simple, everyday things helps him feel that way, so be it! I know I love hearing him show his appreciation of the everyday things I do! It takes some of the boring, everyday, "chore" feeling out of the normal, mundane tasks of life when you know that someone has taken notice of the work you've done and appreciates your efforts, even if they are just going to get dirty, used or eaten again in five minutes! We are so focused on praising our children to build up their self esteem, why shouldn't we do the same for our spouses, friends, and family? You'd thank a friend for cleaning up a mess that their child makes at your home, wouldn't you? In my mind, that should be their job… but you would still thank them, right? Why wouldn't you do the same for your husband? I know I am plenty guilty of lamenting about the things I wish my husband would do, was home to do, or would have done before he left. I'm just as guilty as the next person. But, I also know that I'm lucky enough and loved enough for him to do the things that he does do, already! I know he could have left much, if not all of it, for me to deal with later, but, he doesn't! For that I am thankful and I have no issues telling him or showing him just how much those "little things" really do mean to me!
I think some of these ladies are missing the point here. It wouldn't hurt to acknowledge the little things our spouses do. I'm thankful for my husband and EVERYTHING he does as my best friend, husband, father to our children and provider. Everyone likes to hear that they're appreciated sometimes, so thank you Marisha for sharing this and reminding me to just say thank you a little more!

Within hours of his inauguration, US President Joe Biden issued an executive order stopping the Bureau of Land Management's current oil and gas lease program for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).
This is an important step towards reversing the former administration's efforts to open the critical habitat to industrial development and will help maintain the sustainability of the important Porcupine caribou herd.
The Government of Yukon continues to work with our partners in Porcupine Caribou management, the governments of Canada and the Northwest Territories, Inuvialuit, Gwich'in Tribal Council, Vuntut Gwitchin, Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in and First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun.
Minister of Environment Pauline Frost released the following statement:
"While the executive order is only a temporary moratorium, it states that the United States Government will review the instruments that put this oil and gas program in place and conduct a new, comprehensive analysis of the potential environmental impacts it could cause.
Together with other Canadian parties to the Porcupine Caribou Management Agreement, we intervened and decried the lack of attention to scientifically-proven environmental impacts at every available opportunity throughout the regulatory process. We presented our shared analysis of decades-long scientific research, which clearly demonstrates development in the crucial calving grounds will have significant negative impacts on the herd and the corresponding subsistence and cultural practices of the many communities who rely on this caribou.
There is still a long way to go to seeing permanent protection of this unique and important herd and we are saddened by the nine lease tracts sold on January 19. But we will not stop demanding adequate protection for this herd and their critical habitat. We will continue to collect and analyze data that supports decision making based on strong, current science, and long-established traditional knowledge. We will continue to engage with our management partners in Alaska and the United States federal government.
With this new executive order, which sends a signal that is consistent with our shared values of informed, science-based decision making, we will continue our efforts with renewed optimism and enthusiasm."

Lave OXP
The OXP simply titled Lave adds many of the features to the Lave System that are described in The Dark Wheel novella, but weren't originally there to see in the game. It was written by Murgh in 2006, and later updated by Kaks in 2008 and by an anonymous kind modder in 2009. A retro reboot in the Iron Ass style was made in 2022.
Learner pilots practice in Trinket ships near the station under the command of an instructor, Restaurant Junks ply their trade, Herald Ad-Droids shuffle their billboards, transport liners transport, an ominous Cobra lurks, a small moon is added and more. It also bumps up Lave's tech level, as that was how Murgh understood the descriptions in The Dark Wheel, which he was emulating (useful for buying kit for your ship - you can now get fuel scoops and an ASC, and if you run SW Economy, you can now buy medicine).
This oxp replicates the Lave described in The Dark Wheel (and also meshes with the Drew's Oolite Saga). The Oolite community in those days featured many who came into Oolite from Elite via Frontier, where the The Old Worlds region was peculiar in consisting of one planet with no moon - Lave's Basta being the exception, but not a true moon.
Murgh, who wrote this oxp, also wrote Diso OXP which adds more planets to the Diso system. But for other early players, the old "Old Worlds" definition was important. More recent ambience oxp's which add planets, play havoc with this older definition, and add more planets and moons to the Lave system too.
Notes for possible update
Permission to update Murgh's .oxp's
...of course you may feel totally free to update any of the old OXPs or otherwise make use of the old scraps if they can still hold appeal. It would be very cool for me if something from so long ago could even in a small part manage to survive through the ages, along with the simple and brilliant concept of Oolite... |
((Old) Murgh 2021) |
I noticed some really fast NPC's docking in one of the new YouTube vids, they were racing into the station! is there new docking AI for the ships in the more modern Oolite? i remember NPC's used to just slowly inch their way towards the station then sometimes panic and abort their run over and over - would be fun to still keep that behaviour around Lave with all the new pilots trying to get their driving license :)
edit: actually, thinking about it, this might have been when i was making ships that were too big to fit into the mail slot

Iron Ass revamp
In January 2022, Old Murgh came out of retirement and began chipping away at the old shapes and fabrics, attempting something like a remastered –though still RELOPy– version. An Iron Ass Lave beta was shared in April 2022.
- Lave v1.71 OXP (2006–2009), Alternate capnhack.com
- Iron Ass Lave.OXP b1 (2022)
Note that it is an .oxp and needs to be put in the AddOns folder (not an .oxz which would reside in the ManagedAddOns folder!). See OXP for details.

'The Bachelorette', a spin-off of 'The Bachelor', is a reality TV dating show that borrows the same set of rules as depicted in its parent series. It premiered on ABC on January 8, 2003. Each season follows one eligible and single bachelorette, who featured as a contestant in one of the previous seasons from 'The Bachelor'. Then, there is a group of bachelors (aged 25 – 30), from where this bachelorette has to select a potential husband. The format approaches an elimination process where the pool of contenders gets smaller and smaller after each eviction round. Finally, the single lady has to choose between two participants in the last rose ceremony. Now, it's left to her will if she wishes to move forward with the marriage proposal or not. She can either accept or reject the proposal.
Well, we cannot exactly say if it's indeed feasible for any woman to pick her future husband from a group of completely unknown men. Although the show does focus on the idea of a fairy-tale ending, it's a tad difficult to imagine that one can find love on the silver screen, not to mention amidst so many voyeuristic eyes glued in front of the TV. However, let's leave this debate and focus more on the series. Even though we cannot guarantee the viability of the show's approach, we must agree that the episodes are truly a treat for the eyes. Packed with sexual chemistry, competition, drama, and jealousy, it's definitely entertaining. Most of the times, the results are unpredictable. Therefore, we can recommend it for a lighthearted, engaging watch.
Now, if you liked this show, then let's remind you that there are a lot more titles which you can check out. To help you further, we have come up with a special compilation. Here's the list of best shows similar to 'The Bachelorette' that are our recommendations. You can watch several of these series like 'The Bachelorette' on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime.
12. The Bachelor (2002-)
'The Bachelor', which is the parent series that inspired the making of 'The Bachelorette', is almost similar to the concept of the latter; the only difference being the reversal of genders. This dating and relationship reality television show premiered on March 25, 2002 on ABC, with all seasons available on ABC Go. It was so successful after its release that it gave rise to multiple spin-offs, such as 'Bachelor Pad', 'Bachelor in Paradise', 'Bachelor in Paradise: After Paradise', and 'The Bachelor Winter Games'. We have not made separate entries for each of these titles since they are all similar in their formats. But all of these are recommended if you are a die-hard fan of 'The Bachelorette'.
Here, each season introduces one single bachelor who selects a potential wife from a pool of female participants. As the episodes progress, he has to eliminate candidates and finally select the one he deems best. Of course, the program is packed with its own share of conflicts, arguments, and catfights. You also get to see various romantic and exotic locations where the adventures and contests take place. In order to avoid monotony, the show's style introduces occasional changes to the normal routine. Let's give some examples: sometimes, a rejected contender returns to plead her case to the bachelor. In other incidents, the guy may distribute more or fewer roses than intended or he may eliminate two women in one round. Towards the end, it's up to him whether he plans to marry, start a relationship, or reject the final contestant.
11. Finding Prince Charming (2016-)
We come across so many shows which revolve around a single man or woman attempting to find a potential partner. But, 'Finding Prince Charming' comes with a unique and refreshing twist. In this "first-of-its-kind dating show," we are introduced to a pool of gay guys, who try to win the affection of Prince Charming. Hosted by Lance Bass, this dating series follows a weekly elimination format, with one contestant evicted every seven days from the house they all reside in. In the end, Prince Charming decides who should be his ideal man.
10. Famously Single (2016-17)
'Famously Single', as the name makes it evident, is about celebrities who are on a mission to find love. All of these stars, who can be from television, sports, or music, reside in a single house. They are guided by experts in their quest for romance and serious relationships. The show also places challenges, contests, and tasks on their way so that they are more ready to achieve their goals. The episodes follow these celebs as they enter numerous clubs, bars, and tourist hot spots, in search of potential partners. Moreover, we also get to see a few romantic link-ups that happen within the housemates themselves.
9. The Cougar (2009)
Created by the makers of 'The Bachelor', this reality TV show claims to redefine the rules of conventional dating. Here, we witness 20 young men, seeking to win the affection of a single older woman. Termed as the Cougar, she selects her potential man from this pool of guys, which gets smaller and smaller after each elimination round.
8. The Proposal (2018-)
Hosted by retired NFL quarterback Jesse Palmer, 'The Proposal' follows contestants seeking to win the heart of a single, mysterious individual, whose identity remains hidden till the end of the episode. Each episode introduces us to 10 eligible contenders competing in four pageant-style rounds. The elimination rounds involve creating first impressions, meeting one of the mystery person's family members, etc. The last two finalists get to meet the concealed individual and present him or her with their proposal.
7. More to Love (2009)
Bringing a unique twist to the genre of reality dating shows, 'More to Love' follows the 26-year-old football player and bachelor Luke Conley, as he romances a pool of 20 plus-size women. He believes that beauty lies skin deep and is looking for a smart, confident, and passionate woman to be his partner. The series adopts the traditional elimination model, with one female finally vying toward winning Luke's heart.
6. I Love New York (2007-08)
'I Love New York' features Tiffany Pollard, who became popular after VH1's reality dating show, 'Flavor of Love'. As 20 dashing men compete against each other to woo her, she has to choose the one who can be the guy of her dreams.
5. Temptation Island (2001-03)
With loads of sun, sand, beaches, and sexual tension, 'Temptation Island' stands true to its name. Created to depict some sort of a social experiment, in this show, we see four couples who are facing a difficult time in their relationship. Now, they try to give a shot at single living. They travel to the breathtaking Hawaiian island of Maui, where they live in individual houses, accompanied by sexy singles. Towards the end, we get to see their decisions. Do they reconcile and choose to go with their partners? Do they simply leave alone? Or do they decide to start a relationship with one of the 'tempters'?
4. Love Connection (1983-2018)
In this unscripted dating show hosted by Andy Cohen, we meet various single men and women, who are on their individual searches for love. Each episode of 'Love Connection' follows one single as he/she goes on three blind dates. After the dates are over, the contestant tells about his or her experiences in front of a live studio audience. He or she then decides if a connection is made and there's any further likelihood of a future relationship. The premise of this show is quite similar to another Netflix original, released in 2019, namely 'Dating Around', which also falls on our list of recommendations for fans of 'The Bachelorette'.
3. A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila (2007-08)
'A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila' follows the format of 'The Bachelorette'. Here, the only difference you see is in the theme, which focuses on LGBT and bisexuality. Starring Tila Tequila, it debuted on MTV on October 9, 2007, and introduces us to 16 heterosexual men and 16 lesbian women. All of the participants stay in Tequila's house where they try to win her attention. The twist is that here, Tila is open to a relationship with the ideal person and it does not matter whether he/she is a male or female.

2. Excused (2011-13)
Hosted by Iliza Shlesinger, 'Excused' revolves around a pool of men attempting to woo not one, but two women. The format, as usual, follows an elimination pattern, with the final "last man standing" choosing one female between the two. In other episodes, we also see the genders reversed, with the style remaining the same.

1. For the Love of Ray J (2009-10)
We all know the famous hip-hop artist Ray J. But 'For the Love of Ray J' shows a different side of this full-time ladies man. This time, he is on the lookout for true love. As 18 glamorous women compete with each other to win his heart, he has to decide who will be the final lady of his dreams.

Rotterdam The Hague Airport
Since 2010 the official name is Rotterdam The Hague Airport, but by many locals still referred to the airport as Vliegveld Zestienhoven.
My home base
Rotterdam airport is interest for private pilots, as it has commercial (mainly 737, F27) and GA (business and private) traffic. There are a number of flying clubs based there, one of which is the largest in the Netherlands with 20 aircraft.
Former workplace
I used to work here (landside, at a business totally unrelated to aviation). As an airport it's nice (much smaller than Schiphol) and pretty efficient; while working flight crew members walking by the window and the smell of jet fuel were the biggest reminders of being at an airport.

The McClung Museum is lucky enough to have three works by Nashville artist, William Edmondson (1874–1951) all of which are pictured below.
William Edmondson was born near Nashville on a former plantation to freed slaves Orange (George) and Jane Brown Edmondson. When the family moved to Nashville, William Edmondson worked many jobs to help support his family, including as a janitor for the Woman's Hospital and then later as a stonemason's helper. As a stonemason, he discovered his talent for carving Tennessee limestone, using modified railroad spikes as chisels. When physical ailments began to keep him at home, he started carving tombstones using discarded stones from streets and fields.
Edmondson was a religious man, who attended his family's Primitive Baptist Church, and became inspired by Biblical imagery. He felt that God called on him to create his art. Many of the pieces he carved specifically to be tombstones or burial art, but he also generated other decorative religious and popular figures. Birds were also a common subject––possibly a references to doves in the Bible or as a symbol of liberation. He advertised his art by placing his sculptures in his yard.
Edmondson's works that now reside at the McClung Museum were generated while the artist worked for the Public Works of Art Project (PWAP), the first of the New Deal's art programs. The New Deal was a series of programs enacted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the US in the 1930s to provide relief and recovery from the Great Depression. However, as the Museum of Modern Art's publication Among Others: Blackness at MoMA notes, while "the PWAP aimed to bring relief to the artists of the Great Depression, giving roughly 3,500 artists an average of $34 per week—"craftsmen's wages"—to create works . . . only 500 women, some 30 Native Americans, and roughly a dozen black artists were enrolled."
For the few black artists who were involved with the PWAP, the program sometimes provided entree into museums and storied art institutions. Indeed, Edmondson was the first African American to have a solo exhibition at New York City's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in 1937, Sculpture by William Edmondson. But while some African Americans were able to see the show (artist Jacob Lawrence hailed it as having a large impact on him), Edmondson himself wasn't even invited to view his own show, and the institution's and the public's response to the show was steeped in racism.
While MoMA considered creating a catalogue or a publication about his work, in the end they didn't, only releasing a demeaning press release about the exhibition written by white patrons of Edmondson's work: it described Edmondson as "a Negro of Nashville, Tennessee, has had no art training and very little education," and described him as "simple, almost illiterate, entirely unspoiled."
The PWAP brought Edmondson's works to University of Tennessee, though no one knows exactly how. In 1941, the Orange and White campus newspaper reported that two sculptures by William Edmondson of Nashville had been acquired from the WPA by the Related Art Department of the College of Home Economics (because of the coronavirus shut down, I haven't been able to look for a copy of the article yet from our records or the library). Edmondson completed projects for the PWAP from 1939–1941 in Nashville.
At UT, the same racist tropes referring to African American folk artists as "unspoiled" and "untrained" that were present at MoMA likely affected the reception of Edmondson's work on campus. In 1941 when Edmondson donated the works to UT through PWAP, there wasn't a museum, and we don't know how his sculptures were initially displayed or presented. According to research records at the museum "the dean was not interested in folk art," and the University lost track of the sculptures. Incredibly, Edmondson's sculptures eventually made their way into a closet in the College of Home Economics where they languished until 1993. They were found during renovations, recognized for their importance, and transferred from the Jessie Harris Building to the McClung Museum.
In the time since the sculptures were transferred to the McClung, Edmondson's celebrated sculpture has been on display in our permanent gallery the Decorative Experience. These artworks have often traveled for display in major exhibitions. Nevertheless, Edmondson's story and the treatment of these beautiful sculptures remind us of how museums and institutions can be complicit in the erasure of histories of racism.

I don't know what to say about yesterday.
1 winner from 19 races really isn't good enough.
It was very tempting to not do a Morning News today but...
I guess if I can find time to crow about 33/1 winners I should also apologise for bad days.
I have double checked the ratings and they all looked good to me - and none of the races looked too difficult so I don't know what to say.
Mondays are generally the best day of the week for us so let's hope that today makes up for yesterday.
Diamonds and Gold
There were no Diamonds and Gold selections yesterday.
Something to make you smile...
A man drives to a gas station and has his tank filled up. The gas pumper spots two penguins sitting in the back seat of the car. He asks the driver, "What's up with the penguins in the back seat?"
The man in the car says "I found them. I asked myself what to do with them but, I haven't had a clue."
The clerk ponders a bit then says, "You should take them to the zoo."
"Hey, that's a good idea," says the man in the car and drives away.
The next day the man with the car is back at the same gas station. The clerk sees the penguins are still in the back seat of the car.
"Hey, they're still here! I thought you were going to take them to the zoo."
"Oh, I did," says the driver, "And we had a great time! Today I am taking them to the beach."
Have a great day's racing!
As always...
My kindest regards

The 2021 Connected Consumer Series reflected the challenges retail (and society as a whole) have faced during the past year, but also the growing sense of optimism that is taking hold this year. The 15 sessions, now available on demand, encompass critical areas of the retail enterprise, including: customer loyalty strategies; visual tech developments such as AR and 3D modeling; fulfillment and delivery management; the power of social networks; fast-growing Buy Now, Pay Later services; and the all-important customer experience.
The advice and insights delivered in these sessions come not just from analysts and consultants but retailers themselves, representing companies large and small including Under Armour, Levi's, 1-800-FLOWERS, CarParts.com and Mystery Ranch.
5 Social Advertising Trends for Retailers to Know in 2021: Featuring Under Armour
During COVID-19, social networks became powerful vehicles for driving product awareness, education and, in some cases, real-time engagement and community building.; that's why marketing teams are allocating more of their spend towards them. Smartly.io research found that 74% of marketers spend one-third or more of their budgets on social advertising.
But how can a global retail enterprise streamline and scale its social advertising strategies? Ayanna Colden, Digital Marketing Specialist at Under Armour, shared how the brand was able to automate its social advertising and adapt its approach based on local tastes, behaviors and even COVID-19 conditions.
Previously, the Under Armour team had to create dedicated catalogs for all the different countries and languages for which it wanted to run advertising campaigns, meaning team members had to manually adjust 25-plus campaigns at a time. By automating this process and creating a cross-border catalog, Under Armour was able to double the ROI of its social campaigns.

Retail CX Trends 2021: New CX for a New World
The pandemic is finally ending, but the new/remade world will require a refined approach to the customer experience. Omnichannel now means not just offering services across channels, but also providing seamless communication that connects all touch points.
"As consumers, particularly older consumers who are a little bit more affluent, get vaccinated they're going to come back to the stores," said Bryan Amaral, President and CEO of Clientricity LLC. "That experience in the store is going to matter, as is the online [experience] and communicating with the customer across all channels — that's what's really going to matter."
No matter how customers choose to shop, informed associates will be a key part of this process. In 2020, 56% of retailers added phone and text chat to replicate elements of the in-store experience online. Soon, they'll need to find ways to make in-store shopping as convenient as online ordering.

Redefining Retail: How Location Data Removes Friction from Shopper Experiences
With consumers more attached to their mobile devices than ever, retailers are turning to location data to allow for more targeted marketing campaigns, greater operational efficiencies and frictionless shopper journeys that close the loop on omnichannel strategies. Crafting frictionless experiences that elevate convenience are essential, as this is now the customer expectation: 83% of consumers said convenience is more important to their shopping experience versus 5 years ago, according to a recent study.
By using location-aware marketing to analyze data and segment audiences, brands can reach customers in their app in real time as well as via different marketing channels (think push notifications and location-triggered email). Harnessing this data is especially crucial when it comes to BOPIS and curbside services. Brands and retailers that can reduce their pickup time window to under two minutes are 4X more likely to gain customer loyalty and repeat customers, versus orders that take 10 minutes to fulfill in the parking lot.

What's the Point of Loyalty? How to Take Consumer Engagement and LTV to New Levels
Loyalty programs have evolved dramatically since the days when their sole goal was to drive more profit from existing customers, according to Houman Akhavan, CMO of CarParts.com, and Matt Roche, CEO of advocate marketing platform Extole. Today, loyalty program goals should include creating brand advocates, fueled by the understanding that non-transactional behaviors like referrals or positive reviews can be just as valuable as purchases.
Even the forms of loyalty programs have changed since the days of the punch card: membership, an app download, a credit card sign-up and creating an online profile all are forms of modern day loyalty. And all are equally valuable in their own right, especially as third-party cookies are phased out and first-party data becomes key to understanding and marketing to your customers. "The main goal of a loyalty program is to enable everyone to participate in the brands they love and be recognized for their contribution," said Roche.

Augmented Reality: Like Real Reality, but Better (for Retailers)
While AR technology is commonly associated with trying on accessories or virtually placing furniture into physical spaces, it also has useful applications for showing off products in other ways. For Mystery Ranch, the retailer's hand-built, high-quality, user-specific designs are a major differentiator.
"When we're talking about quality and the ability to showcase that, the 3D experience gave us the ability to allow the user to really zoom in on a product, which we didn't really have before," said Ryan Holm, Director of Marketing at Mystery Ranch. "You can have a zoom into product imagery, but we didn't have a zoom into a full 3D image like we have here."
Mystery Ranch launched its AR experience in March 2020, and over the course of the year the retailer saw a 115% increase in desktop conversion rate and a 70% increase in mobile conversation rate.

Retailers, Are You (Socially) Listening? Your Customers Are Speaking
Increasingly, brands need to take a localized approach to their online communications, advised Chad Jordan, Regional Sales Director at SOCi. COVID made this truer than ever before, said Jordan, with business closures and safety guidelines varying wildly from state to state and even county to county. Many consumers no longer trust a company's website for up-to-date information; instead, they are turning to social media and listings on sites like Google or Yelp.
A company's presence and engagement on these platforms is critical to success. In fact, consumers now trust Google so much that most people end up going with one of the options in the "Google 3-Pack" — the first three results in a Google search. A few tips to get into the 3-pack:
- Make sure you have a large number of good reviews, and solicit them from customers if you don't;
- Make sure you're responding and interacting on social media to positive feedback as well as negative; and
- Ensure that your Google My Business listing is accurate and up-to-date.

Accelerated Ecommerce: 21+ Trends and Transitions That Will Shape the Industry in 2021
COVID has accelerated ecommerce by two to three years, and across all demographics consumers plan to shop online more than they did before the pandemic. While traditional retail has suffered during the pandemic, Link Walls, VP of Digital Marketing Strategy at ChannelAdvisor, noted that the record number of retail bankruptcies in 2020 was driven more by outdated business models than by COVID itself. Walls offered insights into how brands can thrive in this new era of retail, including:
- Be everywhere: Consumers today consider themselves channel-agnostic, so brands need to be on multiple channels to meet shoppers where they are (this can include owned sites, social and third-party marketplaces);
- Diversify: Build durability across your supply chain so you're not dependent on any one source; and
- Focus on fulfillment: The bar is always moving, and consumer expectations of all brands are being set by the offerings of big players like Walmart and Amazon.

How 1-800-FLOWERS Boosts Shopper Loyalty with Data & Analytics
Winning — and keeping — customer loyalty has always been a challenge for retailers, but COVID-19 made it even tougher. In fact, 57% of people said the way they engaged with companies transformed in 2020, which means retailers must work harder to understand their consumers' evolving wants, needs and preferences.
To successfully adapt its loyalty program and engage with consumers in a more meaningful way, 1-800-FLOWERS.COM dove into the data. Neil O'Keefe, Vice President of Enterprise CRM and Loyalty Marketing at the retailer, shared the company's key lessons from 2020 and priorities moving forward:
- Balance company-led motivations with customer-led motivations: Retailers may have their own objectives for loyalty programs, but they must focus first on creating value for customers, according to O'Keefe: "We think people are seeking more meaningful relationships, so as we move forward, our brands will need to refocus on their purpose and be authentic in the experiences they build for consumers."
- Engage beyond the transaction: 1-800-FLOWERS.COM wanted to build its community to tap into the emotional side of loyalty creation. "We're trying to deepen our relationships with customers…so they can form meaningful connections and celebrate moments big and small," said O'Keefe. For example, the company developed an eCard service, held Facebook and Instagram Live events and shared DIY activities that families can do together.
- Harness data to adapt and improve: "The entire culture of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM is focused on data and analytics," O'Keefe explained. "We've been a direct-to-customer brand since our inception. Our goal is to build a relationship with the customer and data is the language for that relationship." Whether it's through personalization or unearthing new opportunities to better serve customers, data and analytics is what drives these decisions.

Buy Now, Pay Later: How Millennials & Gen Z Want to Shop
It's a common misconception that Millennials eschew physical payments; in fact they embrace a wide variety of payment methods: 68.2% use credit cards, 66.3% use debit cards and 42.1% use digital wallets, according to data from PayPal. Even that old standby cash is the preferred tender for some members of the cohort.
"There is a generalized view about the lack of diversity millennials have in their payment preferences," said Hemal Nagarsheth, Associate Partner at Kearney. "In particular, there's often an underrepresentation of credit. In Kearney's consumer research what we often find is that, especially for older millennials, one in three prefer to pay with a credit card."
Millennials prefer payment methods that are rewarding, convenient and match their existing habits, according to Nagarsheth. So while they'll pay in many ways, matching their preferences can be a sales driver for retailers.

Why Effective Management of Visual Media is a Must for Ecommerce
Humans are visually oriented creatures: viewers process images 60X faster than text, and retain 80% of what an image shows, versus only 20% of text. Online retailers already are well aware of images' power: visual content receives 94% more total views than text alone on average, according to Jason Khoury, VP of Corporate Marketing at Cloudinary.
Additionally, recent advances in visually oriented technology, including AR/VR, 3D modeling and live shoppable videos, mean that marketers who don't master visual communication and adopt a media-first approach run the risk of falling behind competitors.
For Levi's® Footwear and Accessories, these visual tools bridged the gap between the brand and its distributors when COVID curtailed in-person events. Working with Cloudinary and Geos Consult, Levi's "delivered an immersive experience for distributors to view products online, displaying 360-degree interactive product views of more than 40,000 items," said Gaetano Curci, Creative Service Manager, Global Consumer Market, Levi's Footwear and Accessories. "This helped our wholesale distributors purchase with confidence, and allowed us to capture sales despite the pandemic by engaging with vendors safely and virtually. Now we're looking at other areas of Levi's portfolio to mimic these results."

Harnessing In-Store Shopper Data to Improve Experience and Engagement
As stores continue to reopen, retailers are being tasked with reconfiguring the in-store experience to meet still-shifting consumer needs and behaviors. To ensure the shopping experience remains responsive to these shifts while still addressing bottom-line needs, retailers are using in-store shopper analytics to help craft improved in-store experiences in five key areas: Store Design; Merchandising; BOPIS and the Checkout Experience; Marketing and Promotional Activity; and Employee and Task Scheduling.
Physical retail is still a big part of the retail ecosystem — and in-store metrics that measure traffic can provide actionable insights on how shoppers move through the store, what displays they're stopping and looking at, and which areas they're spending the most time in (as well as wait times for BOPIS and checkout). This data can help brands evaluate what in-store real estate isn't being leveraged to its full advantage, and to make changes that meet actual shopper behavior and needs.
In-store traffic data also can help "fill in the blanks" for marketers looking at why promoted products don't sell or grab customer attention. Additionally, it offers invaluable insights for employee and task scheduling as retailers go through the "re-setting" process in 2021.

Redefining Product Discovery: Improve Your Entire Customer Journey
Brands are upping their discovery capabilities to match shoppers' needs by using AI-powered machine learning tools to find patterns in user behavior at scale. Product search can be a tricky puzzle for retailers to solve, as false positives and false negatives pose challenges for the user experience (and for sales). A false negative is the worst outcome for search results, leading consumers to assume you don't have what they're looking for (even though you do), and raising the risk that they will quickly move on or completely abandon their search on your site.
During search, understanding a user's meaning — not just the literal query — is key. Semantics are everything when it comes to optimizing results. User behavior can be baffling, so tapping into the power of signals, vectors and AI can greatly improve retailers' ability to refine the customer journey. Tools such as smart chatbots and virtual assistants also can help interpret user intent, to deliver relevant results and power conversational experiences by understanding how people speak.

Connecting to Your Ideal Customer: Laser Focus on Convenience
Retailers need to redefine "convenience" to encompass today's complex, multi-touch-point shopper journeys. "Convenience has to be thought of by a retailer as the moment when a person first starts to think about solving a problem," said Flora Delaney, President, Delaney Consulting. "If I ask Alexa or Siri, will it provide directions to your store? Will your store show up on a local map if I Google that I want, say, fishing poles? If you're not 'convenient' in these ways, I may not even think about your being 'convenient' in terms of your store's location."
Tyler Gardiner, Subject Matter Expert for Retail at Podium, believes the definition of convenience needs to stretch even further: "Convenience really looks like the state when you know a consumer — that you understand what they want and where you're meeting them, and that you're anticipating their needs even before they encounter you."
COVID-19 also has forced retailers to make different forms of convenience a priority, with changes that will continue to affect shopper behavior even after the pandemic ends. "When folks do go to an in-person shopping experience, they will have all-new kinds of expectations before entering your store," said Delaney. "Some of the folks asking whether you have something in stock at that moment are literally sitting in your parking lot, making their decision about whether to go into the store or not."

Omnichannel Strategies for the New Normal: Scaling Up to Exceed Customer Demands
Everyone knows that the pandemic was an enormous boon for online shopping, and the industry is now getting a more accurate tally of just how big the boon has been. According to the Adobe Digital Economy Index, "Ecommerce was given a boost of $183 billion during COVID, and we believe it will be sustained into 2021," said Tory Brunker, Director of Product Marketing for Adobe. "In fact, we believe 2022 will be the first-ever trillion-dollar year for ecommerce."
The categories that consumers are shopping for are continuing to shift. As vaccinations have expanded, "We've seen a trend toward [people buying] more luxury goods," said Pete Olanday, Retail Practice Leader – Consulting for Vertex. "Maybe it's less uncertainty, or maybe you just have enough toilet paper at this point."
And even though the pandemic's impact is lessening, retailers will still need to manage an ecommerce-heavy holiday season in 2021. "Be ready for the peak shopping season to start earlier," said Olanday. "In 2020 we saw holiday promotions starting as early as October, and that trend will probably continue. One effect of this is that retailers may need to adjust their return policies, because with earlier gift-buying, the time between the original purchase and its possible return will be longer than usual."

Delivering the Perfect Order: Provide a Buy-Anywhere, Fulfill-Anywhere and Return-Anywhere Experience
According to Chris Benner, Master Industry Principal, Oracle NetSuite, retailers' top investment priorities this year all are tied into order management systems — and for good reason. COVID-19 accelerated trends toward BOPIS and other customer pickup options as well as deliveries, and order management systems are vital to making all of these offerings work efficiently and cost-effectively.
"It's all about putting data at the center of the strategy — and delivering profitable fulfillment options," said Benner.
One path to profitability is automating inventory management. "By introducing modern systems, it's actually possible [for a retailer] to sell more with less inventory," said Benner. "When an inventory management system can automatically match your demand with supply, you get out of the business of carrying too much stock and reacting to inventory problems after it's too late."
Retailers can up their game even further with dynamic order reallocation solutions, which go beyond intelligent order routing and autonomous fulfillment. If a customer wants an item that isn't currently in stock at a store or a distribution center, such systems "can look anywhere in the supply chain, at purchase orders, inbound shipments, transfer orders, work orders and sales orders," said Benner. "It can manage in a matter of seconds what it would have taken minutes or hours to solve, if you could solve it at all."

Farthest Field
March 03, 2020
Raghu Karnad's book Farthest Field (2015) narrates the lost epic of India's involvement in the Second World War, in which the largest volunteer army in history fought for the British Empire even as Mahatma Gandhi laid the foundation for Indian independence. Farthest Field carries us from Madras to Peshawar, from Egypt to Burma, unfolding the saga of a family amazed by their swiftly changing world and swept up in its violence. Watch this panel of scholars, including Rohit De, Ayesha Ramachandran, and Steven Wilkinson, discuss the real-life history behind the book.
The period in which Indians were fighting in the Second World War is the same period in which the Indian National Movement was at its peak. . . . That makes the position of India's World War II experience q very uncomfortable one in our national autobiography.RAGHU KARNAD

Routine Visits with the Inner Critic
Today was the start of getting back to routine. I worked from home, conducting or joining four meetings throughout the day. Spent a fair bit of that time showing users how to use tools. Some of the time was devoted to clarifying some questions about automated messages a tool will send out and in the late afternoon I was able to settle into some productive coding.
It felt good getting back into routine today. I enjoyed sitting in my little room with my headset on, laptops both handy, and plugging away at my projects. Zonker came upstairs around noon and kept me company for the rest of the day. When I got a chance to grab some lunch Phoebe came and lay on her back beside me while I at, patting me with her paws so I would rub her belly. I missed being around CK, I've come to realize that her energy around me, even when she's working on her projects, just feels good to me.
I'd thought about going to Dishman for a swim this evening, but at 5:50 I was just wrapping up a couple of code changes, fixing some bugs. I went downstairs and helped AM make some Thai style curry for dinner; chopping veggies for the pan. It was a nice, companionable to be chatting while making dinner together.
I've spent the evening writing about the fun Friday CK and I shared in Eugene. I also tried playing a bit with the layout and look of this blog. AM have watch episodes of Top Gear, DW has been off babysitting for some friends. I also wrote to my teacher.
At the New Year's party I had laughed when my teacher forgot my name. Mere moments before I had been introduced to someone from the Dharma Rain Zen Center and had chatted with her for several minutes. When CK came up to us I found I was uncomfortable with the realization that in my nervousness I'd forgotten the new person's name entirely.
I was feeling the anxiousness of being in a room full of people I don't know very well, if at all. Tight tension across my chest and my mind feels scattered. Add to it the hum and murmur of many people chatting in a small, hard walled space and it is difficult for me to focus on things like names. It has improved in the years I've practiced with ZCO, coming to trust in the ways my complete self fits into my community, but it is still difficult.
When HB could not recall my name while introducing me to someone I felt so relieved at his humanity that I forgot that he's been troubled lately by forgetfulness. This is the kind of mindlessness that leaves me feeling mortified that I could be so thoughtless as to laugh. Who cares about my relief at the simple humanity of my teacher, it is all about my Inner Critic shaming me for not being perfect in remembering the potential uncomfortable spots for people.
In the past I'd have sat with my Inner Critic. Cringing away as my faux pas was replayed for me again and again. Letting the shame and guilt close my mouth and heart up tight. I'd have said nothing, avoided contact and hoped it would eventually be forgotten, not used to punish me.
Instead I wrote HB an email this evening. I am not sure if I wait until Thursday to very rightly apologize in person I'd be able to do it. Too many days of hearing nothing but my Critic's voice. The email leaves a bridge for me to say something on Thursday, now that it is sent.
What I realized is that I'm not perfect compassion. I forget sometimes because the anxiety can leave me so clouded. Other people forget sometimes too.
I appreciate my teacher for what he teaches me. I know that I appreciate his humanity immeasurably.

A Lancaster man has admitted to holding a stolen revolver to a man's head, then resisting police until they deployed an electronic stun gun.
Robert Charles Lowden, who has a history with firearms, recently pleaded guilty in Lancaster County Court to four felonies regarding the April 17, 2015 incident.
Lancaster County Judge Dennis Reinaker, who accepted the plea, will order sentence in a couple months.
Lowden, apparently under the influence of synthetic marijuana, held a revolver to the head of a man he didn't know in the first block of South Prince Street. Lowden lived on that block.
A pair of constables came upon the scene and dispatched for police. One of the constables stayed with the gun, a black, 6-shot revolver, until police took custody of it.
A city police officer and Constable Brandon Balmer eventually cornered Lowden, who was agitated and uncooperative. Police reported he acted in a "very violent… threatening manner."
Police had to deploy the stun gun to take Lowden into custody.
Lowden, 23, has been at Lancaster County Prison since then.
Lancaster city police Officer Jose De LaTorre filed charges.
Lowden pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, receiving stolen property, and two firearms violations.
He was prohibited from having firearms due to a prior felony conviction of having a gun with an obliterated serial number.
Also, he was charged in 2014 with shooting a man – also in the first block of South Prince Street. That case dissolved because the victim couldn't proceed.

It is safe to say that all of us wait at train crossings regularly as we travel around the city. Some of us find the train whistles a comforting part of our city's character, and some of us probably find them an annoying reminder that the trains can delay our travels.
Battle Creek is a popular travel point for rail because of our location between Detroit and Chicago.
However you feel about our train traffic day-to-day, you might also feel worried after hearing recent news of multiple train derailments, especially with one reported in Michigan and a hazardous derailment in Ohio.
There is not a simple answer to explain how we would handle a train derailment in Battle Creek, but we want to share some information that we hope will give you peace of mind that we are ready to address any emergency.
If a derailment happens, here is a series of events we expect would follow:
Canadian National is the rail company responsible for most of the tracks in Battle Creek, other than Amtrak. Norfolk Southern also can run trains on those tracks.
We work with rail providers like CN to plan and prepare for potential incidents. Our BCFD Haz-Mat Team trains regularly so we can handle rail emergencies, and we receive commodity flow studies to help make sure our plans specifically fit our community. Those studies provide information about the type and amount of hazardous materials moving through.
All hazardous materials on a train would fall into U.S. Department of Transportation hazard categories. Our main concern would be materials that can catch fire, and we would need information about potential environmental impacts during a spill.
Our Haz-Mat Team has trained on emergency scenarios with TRANSCAER (outreach program Transportation Community Awareness Emergency Response), and at the Specialized Emergency Response Training Center in Pueblo, Colo. Our team also is part of a statewide mutual aid system. That means we have access to other communities' fire department resources if we experience a large, major incident, and we could help others in a similar situation. Our Emergency Management team, via our Battle Creek Police Department, also would activate and help manage this type of situation.

Battle Creek firefighters participate in classroom training.
It is good to remember that not every derailment involves hazardous materials, and not every tanker train car carries hazardous materials.
Whatever the situation, our emergency and hazardous materials teams are well-trained and ready to respond.
While it's difficult to get local freight statistics, we do have some information about rail in Michigan. We compiled some of these into a graphic.

To the Battle Creek Police team, and the Battle Creek and Bedford Township communities:
I feel honored and humbled to serve as your interim chief of police. I am blessed to have this opportunity and I am excited to serve in a new role. The Battle Creek Police Department is an outstanding organization. The people who work for the department are second to none and the BCPD is in an exceptional position. This is a direct result of the vision, dedication, and leadership of Chief Jim Blocker. I look forward to continuing the momentum generated by Chief Blocker's efforts.
The foundation of a police department is its relationship with the community it serves. The BCPD will continue to work with the community and our staff to grow and strengthen this bond. We will work together to further build an organization that is transparent, responsive, accountable, innovative and energetic in the delivery of public safety services in Battle Creek and Bedford Township.
The BCPD will be smart in its operations, judicious in how it allocates resources, accountable and transparent. To fulfill our mission, the department's staff and the people who live in our coverage area will have a voice in the strategic planning process and the operations of the department. This process will be inclusive and reflect the diversity of our community and the talent of our officers.
The future holds much promise. Moving forward, we must understand what works organizationally, how it works and where it works. The answer to these questions will provide the framework of our operations. To succeed we must design our programs for flexibility, use innovative ideas, identify outdated approaches, take risks, and continually evaluate our processes. We must use real-time, accurate and actionable data as the platform for our decision-making and actions. This information will be available to the community via a new "Outward Facing Neighborhood Dashboard". This data will provide neighborhoods with details of where and when crime is occurring, making them aware and keeping them informed.
The primary responsibility of the Battle Creek Police Department is public safety achieved by reducing crime, fear and disorder. Integral to that responsibility is a department that conducts its activities lawfully and constitutionally while ensuring everyone is treated with dignity and respect. We will be a police department that protects individual rights and freedoms, as well as values the contributions made by every member of the organization and community members. Our mission will be built on integrity, accountability, transparency and respect.
As the department serves the community you can expect excellence from our sworn and civilian members. Paramount to achieving our mission to provide the very best possible service is recruiting, hiring and retaining a diverse and professional workforce. Training and education must be an integral part of our development as an organization. We will modernize equipment and technology to support our staff as we implement public safety strategies. Our leadership team will work diligently to ensure staff is accountable to each other and the community we serve.
Three principles will guide our efforts and serve as the cornerstones for developing programs, pursuing opportunities and delivering enhanced services to Battle Creek and Bedford Township.
To have more effective community collaboration, the BCPD'S priority will be building and maintaining relationships with our neighbors and business owners who live and work in Battle Creek and Bedford Township. We will be intentional and inclusive with neighborhood outreach and engagement. We will work alongside community members to solve problems and celebrate success. The Battle Creek Police Department will be accessible, inclusive, transparent and effective in its communication and practices.
We will reduce crime and improve public safety with lawful practices that respect all who live here, as well as visitors, and ensure the safety of our officers.
We will build trust between the community and the BCPD, and we will do so in a constitutional, consistent and compassionate manner.
Public safety is the responsibility of the entire community. Neighbors, parents, youth, business owners, educators, and community leaders all play a role in keeping the community safe. The BCPD will work diligently to create and sustain the kind of partnerships necessary to improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods.
We will collaborate with our partners in the social service and public health communities to address the challenges posed by mental health, developmental disabilities, domestic violence, drug, and alcohol dependency. We will increase our ability to respond to individuals in crisis by growing the number of officers trained in behavioral emergency response. Additionally, BCPD recently was awarded a grant related to these situations. We are currently working with our partners in developing a Community Crisis Response Team. This team will be located in our Fusion Center and work closely with our partners throughout the county to provide individuals with the appropriate resources for better outcomes.
We will also work with existing partners and create new partnerships to develop and implement programs focused on preventing youth violence and their involvement in the criminal justice system.
Smart Policing
Data, information, intelligence and evidence-based practices will guide our strategies and tactics. We will track, report and respond to crime using a management model that looks at crime daily and uses multi-agency strategies to direct our resources and address the persons, activities and places that are disrupting the quality of life in our neighborhoods.
The department's crime prevention and reduction strategies will be based on:
We must continuously review and refine our policies, procedures, and operations to increase efficiency and effectiveness. We will look for opportunities to reduce bureaucracy and operating costs. We will ensure that the right people with the appropriate training are in the right positions to successfully execute and assess the implementation of our action plan. We will develop our future leaders by exposing them to public safety best practices.
We will adopt and promote a mindset of never being satisfied with "good enough". We will invite our employees to challenge assumptions based on past experiences and scrutinize "the way we've always done things". By committing to creativity and innovation, we will challenge our most basic assumptions – test, tweak and redesign our core activities. We will create a culture of performance and service.
The future holds tremendous opportunities, but there will be challenges. However, the members of the Battle Creek Police Department, working in partnership with the community, will meet these moments head-on. The BCPD will deliver the level of service our neighbors, business, and visitors deserve.

City leaders are pleased to share the results from this year's National Community Survey, which gives neighbors a chance to share ratings and opinions on city services and Battle Creek generally.
We share the top highlights below, and the full results report is available on the city's website. Reports from previous surveys also are available.
Stay tuned for additional information and discussions around how we will use these results in our projects and services. We appreciate every neighbor who participated! Thank you!
The city again worked with The NCS, provided by the National Research Center at Polco. While the city customized a small number of questions to seek input on particular issues, the majority of the questions remain the same, allowing us to make meaningful comparisons with our previous NCS results from 2018 and 2015.
While our goal is to ask your input on this survey every three years, the COVID-19 pandemic and other city needs delayed us from 2021 to 2022. We already have plans for the next National Community Survey in 2025.
Some notable, overall highlights for us this year:
We also asked some customized questions about traffic calming methods, an important issue in our neighborhoods. The overwhelming majority of neighbors (90%) report you support enhanced signage in the city. Additional traffic enforcement saw support from about 7 in 10 neighbors. Adding speed bumps (51%) and installing roundabouts (47%) received mixed reviews.
We are happy to see neighbors' priorities in this year's NCS match up with the priority city goals you helped us set last year in our priority-based budgeting process. More information is available at battlecreekmi.gov/pbb. As a reminder, those goals are:
Survey methods
The 2022 survey was mailed to a random sample of 2,700 city addresses. About 4% of those were returned as undeliverable or vacant, leaving 2,589 households receiving the survey. Of those, 290 completed the survey, giving us a response rate of 11%.
While the number of responses is lower than 2018, the margin of error is no greater than plus or minus 6% on any given question. Statistically, this gives a 95% level of confidence in our results as representative of the Battle Creek community, and we are pleased to have meaningful information.
Later in the process, the survey was posted online for anyone to complete, and saw a response of 420, slightly higher than 2018. We left the online version open for 10 weeks and, partway through, removed the requirement for respondents to give their email address, an NCS default procedure. We heard the feedback from neighbors that you did not want to do this, so we removed it.
The survey was available in Spanish and Burmese. Instructions in these languages were on the random sample mailings, allowing neighbors to complete the survey online in their language of choice. The open, online survey also gave neighbors the option to choose one of these languages.
Three neighbors completed the Spanish translation, and five completed the Burmese translation of the survey.

Stratarama Stadium
Glenelg Oval (officially known as Stratarama Stadium due a commercial naming-rights agreement) is an oval ground in Adelaide that hosts Australian football and cricket. As home of SANFL club Glenelg Tigers and the Glenelg Cricket Club, it features the HY Sparkes Stand with undercover seating for 500 spectators, two pavilions and a maximum ground capacity of 14,000. The older Edward Rix Stand was demolished following significant wind damage in December 2016. There is concrete terracing on the grandstand side of the ground, with a grass bank surrounding the rest of the playing field. Floodlights were installed in 2012 to allow for night football games at the ground.
The record crowd of 17,171 was recorded in 1968 for a SANFL game between Glenelg and Sturt. In 2016, the oval hosted the Sheffield Shield final, between South Australia and Victoria, due to the Adelaide Oval being unavailable, and it'll again host Shield cricket in 2020.
Glenelg Oval has had a number of commercial names including Challenge Recruitment Oval from 2007, Gliderol Stadium from 2008, ACH Group Stadium since 2019, and Stratarama Stadium from 2023.

Flybe: Bye, bye.
The United Kingdom regional airline Flybe has gone into administration today. This action risks 2,000 jobs and strands a lot of passengers.
Content of this Post:
The carrier is partly blaming the impact on demand of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, although this is really a final blow after a series of missteps including a too-rapid expansion some years ago.
The Flybe website advises customers to 'not travel to the airport' unless they have arranged an alternative flight.
Despite every effort, we now have no alternative – having failed to find a feasible solution to allow us to keep trading.
I am very sorry that we have not been able to secure the funding needed to continue to deliver our turnaround.Letter to Airport Staff from Mark Anderson, CEO
Most recently the airline owners approached the UK government for additional funding, a reported UK£100m. Other competing airlines such as British Airways (IAG) and Ryanair indicated their disapproval by threatening legal action over the bailout package.
The bankruptcy comes a week before the UK budget is handed down. A budget that was expected to provide FlyBe with some relief, according to a rescue package announced by the UK government in January 2020. The package was expected to include the deferral of tax, probably a loan and a reduction in the Air Passenger Duty (APD).
It seems the Connect Airways consortium owners (Stobart Air, Virgin Atlantic and hedge fund Cyrus Capital) couldn't wait that long. They had only owned the airline a little over a year.
The UK has lost one of its greatest regional assets. Flybe has been a key part of the UK aviation industry for four decades, connecting regional communities, people and businesses across the entire nation.
Mark Anderson, CEO
Prior to the purchase of Flybe by Connect Airways, it has struggled to keep its head above water, despite cost-cutting plans and retrenchments, it was reporting losses of around UK£20m a year.
What if you are booked on FlyBe?
There is no good news. You won't fly with them. You won't get back your money from them. They almost certainly haven't made alternative arrangements.
What you could try is:
- Claim on your insurance – however not all travel policies will cover you for airline dissolution
- Claim from your credit card company – you may be able to claim if you paid by credit card
- Contact your travel agent – you may be covered if your flights were booked as part of a package holiday and our travel company has an ATOL license (applies to UK/European firms). You should get a full refund or replacement
2PAXfly Takeout
The loss of FlyBe will leave a big hole in the regional UK and to an extent European market. It will also be seen as Boris Johnson's Government and Brexit's failure – well at least that is how the UK opposition will paint it.
A lot of people, some just ordinary punters are going to lose money.
Is this the first airline to be the victim of COVID-19? Mmmmm – not really. The trouble started long ago. Coronavirus was more a case of the straw that broke the camel's back.
My question (wholly out of self-interest) is: How am I going to get from Newquay back to London in July?

Ethereum Miners Are Dumping Their Assets
According to Santiment, an on-chain analytics firm, Ethereum miners have been selling large amounts of their holdings across cryptocurrency exchanges. Their sell-off comes at a time when base layer activity is decreasing and DeFi FOMO amongst investors tapering.
Miners in Proof-of-Work protocols play a critical role in confirming and keeping the network safe. For their involvement, the platform incentivizes their activity and resource sacrifice. Like in Bitcoin and other networks, Ethereum miners compete for coins released every minute. Therefore, whether they hold or sell to cover operating expenses can be used as a gauge to judge their price forecast. Most are whales. If they hold or "accumulate", ETH prices may recover in the immediate to medium term. However, a dump points to their pessimism on price; a move that can spark a market sell-off.
Impact on the ETH Price:
Bearish. The Actions of miners have a huge bearing on the price trajectory. Coinciding with Santiment's analysis, the ETH price has been wavy, dropping below $400 even in the background of positive news around Eth2 and other base-layer relieving news.

The St Andrew's Cathedral School and Gawura School community is a warm, inclusive and motivated network of people which includes students, parents, staff, alumni and former parents as well as business, cultural and church communities throughout Sydney.
Parents & Friends
The Association of Parents and Friends is a vibrant group of parents and guardians who are committed to building a strong school community and to raising ancillary funds to support our school and students. The P&F hold a number of community (friend-raising) and fundraising events throughout the year such as the Kirrikee Picnic Day early in the year and the Christmas Food and Wine Show that helps bring the year to a festive finale.Through the P&F, Parent Convenors form informal groups within specific year groups to provide opportunities for our parents to meet and get to know each other. This is vital as our students and their families come to SACS from over 220 suburbs around Sydney.
School Foundation
While the P&F aims to support current parents, the School Foundation embraces the wider community. It works closely with the Parents and Friends Association (P&F), the Old Andrean's Association (OAA) and our Friends of Gawura and Gawura Parent Group (GPAC) as well as staff, former staff and former parents of SACS (The Hessian Club). The Foundation publishes Elevate (an e-newsletter for the wider SACS community) and Friends of Gawura (for supporters of Gawura School).
The Foundation fundraises for a range of projects including Gawura, the Heath Bursary Fund, as well as capital works campaigns and the SACS Building Fund. The Foundation runs the Foundation Uniform Store which also raises additional funds for St Andrew's.
The Old Andreans Association
Our alumni are represented by the Old Andreans Association which works actively to build connections between the school and our former students. The Association supports many School initiatives, as well as running a series of reunion events for their members.
Giving back, they run a unique careers event Learning the Ropes every second year, which links current students with alumni allowing in depth conversations around tertiary study and career paths. Their innovative ZERO iN series highlights current issues that affect senior students and alumni as they move into the workplace and focus on their careers.
All SACS students who graduate, or have attended for a minimum of 2 years, automatically become alumni receiving member benefits. The OAA manages its own Facebook and
Website and can assist graduates in getting in touch with each other and the School.
Hessian Club
The Hessian Club was formed in 2016 by a group of former SACS parents who wanted to bring together past parents and former staff who wished to keep their connection with the School. The club was so named because the membership all came from SACS. Members are known as Hessians.
All members of the Hessian Club receive the quarterly Foundation e-newsletter Elevate which keeps them in touch with the school, its development and directions and alumni news as well as alerting them to our school calendar highlights such as musicals, plays, special sporting fixtures and upcoming social events. Previous events have included a rooftop dinner with entertainment by the SACS Pistols (a band of former SACS parents); theatre parties to the school musicals and plays and The Second Act performances; and invitations to participate in key school events such as trivia nights and gala dinners.
Hessian Club members also continue to support the school by mentoring students in careers, for Start Up and our City Learning program.

If the at-fault driver was uninsured, then you can either sue them. However, if they couldn't afford insurance its unclear how much you could actually expect to get. Although, if they are employed you could get a garnishment of their wages (assuming that you prevail in your suit). Also, if you have uninsured motorist coverage under your auto policy, then you could obtain money for damages to your car and for any injuries suffered.
