· At the last General Audience of the Pontificate, Benedict XVI embraces the Church throughout the world ·
And the Pontiff explains that he is remaining with the Crucified Lord in a new way within the bounds of St Peter's
Not a return to private life nor abandonment of the Cross of Christ, but a service of prayer carried out still "within the bounds of St Peter's". With these words Benedict XVI explained the meaning of his renunciation of the papacy to the enormous crowd of the faithful that overflowed from St Peter's Square on Wednesday morning, 27 February, for the last General Audience of the Pontificate.
Venerable Brothers in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood,
Distinguished Authorities,
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I thank you for coming in such large numbers to my last General Audience. I thank you with all my heart! I am truly touched! And I see the Church is alive! And I think we must also say "thank you" to the Creator for the beautiful weather he is still giving us now, even in winter.
Like the Apostle Paul in the biblical text we have heard, I too feel in my heart that above all I should thank God who guides the Church and gives her growth, who sows his word and thus nourishes faith in his people. At this moment my mind reaches out to embrace the entire Church that has spread throughout the world, and I thank God for the "news" I have been able to receive in these years of my Petrine ministry concerning faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the love that really circulates within the Body of the Church and makes her live in love and in the hope that opens us and directs us toward life in its fullness, toward the heavenly homeland.
I feel that I am carrying everyone in prayer, in a present that is God's, carrying every meeting, every journey, every Pastoral Visit. I gather everything and everyone in prayer to entrust them to the Lord so that we may be fully aware of his will, with every kind of wisdom and spiritual intelligence, and behave in a manner worthy of him, of his love, bearing fruit in every good work (cf. Col 1:9-10).
At this moment, I feel within me deep trust, because I know, we all know, that the Gospel's word of truth is the Church's strength, it is her life. The Gospel purifies and renews, bears fruit, wherever the community of believers listens to it and accepts God's grace in truth and charity. This is my trust, this is my joy.
When on 19 April almost eight years ago I accepted the Petrine Ministry, I had the firm conviction that has always accompanied me: this certainty that the Church lives by the Word of God. At that moment, as I have already said on several occasions, the words that echoed in my heart were: "Lord, why are you asking this of me, and what are you asking of me?. What you are placing on my shoulders is a great burden, but if you ask it of me, I will cast the nets at your word, certain that you will guide me, even with all my weaknesses".
And eight years later I can say that the Lord has guided me, he has been close to me, I have been able to perceive his presence daily. It has been a stretch of the Church's journey chequered with joy and light, but also with far from easy moments. I felt like St Peter with the Apostles in the boat on the Sea of Galilee: the Lord has given us so many days of sunshine and a light breeze, days on which the catch has been abundant; then there have also been times when the waters were turbulent, when there was a contrary wind, as in the entire history of the Church, and when the Lord seemed to be asleep. Yet I have always known that the Lord is in that boat and I have always known that the barque of the Church does not belong to me, it does not belong to us, but to him. And the Lord does not let her sink; it is he who steers her, also through the men he chose, of course, for this is what he wanted. This was and is a certainty that nothing can dim. Moreover this is why today my heart is brimming over with gratitude to God, for he has never left the Church as a whole – or me – without his comfort, his light or his love.
We are in the Year of Faith which I wanted precisely in order to strengthen our faith in God in a context that seems to be putting him increasingly in the background. I would like to ask one and all to renew their firm trust in the Lord, to entrust themselves like children to God's arms, certain that those arms never fail to hold us and are what enable us to walk on, every day, even when we are weary.
I would like everyone to feel beloved by that God who gave his Son for us and who has shown us his boundless love. I would like each and every one to feel the joy of being Christian. A beautiful prayer to recite daily in the morning says: "I adore thee, O my God, and I love thee with all my heart. I give thee thanks that thou has created me and made me a Christian". Yes, we are happy with the gift of faith; it is the most precious good, one which no one can take from us! Let us thank the Lord for it every day, with prayers and with a consistent Christian life. God loves us, but he expects us to love him too!
However, it is not only God whom I wish to thank at this moment. A pope is not alone in steering the barque of Peter, even if he is primarily responsible. I have never felt alone in bearing the joy and the burden of the Petrine ministry; the Lord set beside me so many people who have helped me and been close to me.
First of all you, dear Brother Cardinals: your wisdom, your advice and your friendship have been precious to me; my co-workers, starting with my Secretary of State who has accompanied me faithfully in these years; the Secretariat of State and the whole of the Roman Curia, as well as all those who serve the Holy See in the various sectors. So often they do not come to the fore, they stay in the shade; but precisely in silence, in daily dedication with a spirit of faith and humility they have been a reliable and trustworthy support for me. A special thought for the Church of Rome, my Diocese! I cannot forget my Brothers in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood, the consecrated people, the entire People of God: on my Pastoral Visits, at the Audiences, on the Journeys, I have always perceived great attention and deep affection; but I too have loved each and every one, without distinction, with that pastoral charity which is the heart of every pastor, especially of the Bishop of Rome, of the Successor of the Apostle Peter. Every day, with a father's heart, I have carried each one of you in my prayers.
Then I would like my greeting and my gratitude to reach everyone: a Pope's heart expands to the whole world. And I would like to express my gratitude to the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the Holy See, which makes the great family of nations present. Here I am also thinking of all those who work for good communication and whom I thank for their important service.
At this point I would also like to offer my truly heartfelt thanks to the many people throughout the world who in these past weeks have sent me touching tokens of attention, friendship and prayer. No, the Pope is never alone, only now he experiences this once again on such a large scale that it moves his heart. The Pope belongs to everyone and a great many people feel very close to him. It is true that I receive letters from the important figures of the world – from heads of state, from religious leaders, from representatives of the world of culture and so forth. Yet I also receive a multitude of letters from simple people who write to me simply from the depths of their heart and make me feel their affection that comes from being together with Jesus Christ, in the Church. These people do not write to me as, for example, one writes to a prince or a grandee with whom one is not acquainted. They write to me as brothers and sisters, or as sons and daughters, with the sentiment of very affectionate family ties. Here what the Church is can be felt tangibly – not an organization or an association for religious or humanitarian ends, but a living body, a communion of brothers and sisters in the Body of Jesus Christ, which unites us all. Experiencing the Church in this way and being able, as it were, to feel the strength of her truth and her love is a cause of joy in an epoch in which so many people are speaking of her decline. But we see that the Church is alive today!
In these past months I have felt my strength diminishing and I asked God insistently, in prayer, to illuminate me with his light so as to enable me to take the best decision, not for my own good, but for the good of the Church. I took this step in full knowledge of its gravity and also its newness, but in a profoundly serene state of mind. Loving the Church also means having the courage to make difficult, anguishing decisions, always with a view to the good of the Church and not of one's self.
May I be permitted here to return once again to 19 April 2005. The seriousness of the decision lay in the very fact that from that very moment I was always and for ever engaged by the Lord. The man who takes on the Petrine Ministry no longer has any privacy – ever. He always, and totally, belongs to everyone, to the whole Church. The private dimension is as it were completely cut out of his life. I have been able to experience, and I am experiencing it at this very moment, that one receives life exactly when one gives it. I said earlier that many people who love the Lord also love the Successor of St Peter and are fond of him; that the Pope truly has brothers and sisters, sons and daughters throughout the world and that he feels safe in the embrace of your communion, because he no longer belongs to himself, he belongs to everyone and everyone belongs to him.
The "always" is also a "for ever" – there can be no return to the private sphere. My decision to renounce the active exercise of my ministry does not revoke this. I am not returning to private life, to a life of journeys, meetings, receptions, lectures, etc. I am not abandoning the cross but remaining in a new way with the Crucified Lord. I am no longer wielding the power of the office for the governance of the Church, but in the service of prayer I remain, so to speak, in the bounds of St Peter's. St Benedict, whose name I bear as Pope, will be a great example to me in this. He showed us the way to a life which, whether it is active or passive, belongs entirely to the work of God.
I thank you, each and everyone, also for the respect and understanding with which you have accepted this most important decision. I shall continue to accompany the Church on her journey with prayers and reflection, with that dedication to the Lord and to his Bride which I have endeavoured to live every day until now and which I always want to live. I ask you to remember me before God, and, especially, to pray for the Cardinals who are required to carry out such an important task, and for the new Successor of the Apostle Peter: May the Lord accompany him with the light and strength of his Spirit.
Let us invoke the motherly intercession of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God and of the Church, so that she may accompany each one of us and the entire ecclesial community; Let us entrust ourselves to her with profound trust. Dear friends! God guides his Church, he always sustains her, even and especially in difficult moments. Let us never lose his this vision of faith, which is the one true view of the journey of the Church and of the world. In our heart, in the heart of each one of you, may there always be the joyful certainty that the Lord is beside us, he does not abandon us, he is close and envelopes us in his love. Many thanks!

Please click on the button below, to contact us if you have any more questions.
What is the difference between a Sit N Charge slot USB cable and a generic USB extension?
Our Sit N Charge slot cables are more than just a USB extension. We have developed the perfect solution for your slot machines (and other furniture).
Here's why.
- First, our cables have a better gauge wire inside the cable for faster charging.
- Second, our female USB is lit by an LED for customer convenience.
- Third, our USB cables have NO DATA wires inside them, and are compliant where gaming boards have issues with data control inside slots.
- Fourth, our data cables are encased in Metal casings that are exactly the size of the holes punched into slots for a Lock Barrel. Our cable will thread through an empty lock barrel.
Metal lock barrels are more secure and make a smaller hole to help eliminate tampering.
- Fifth, we put a patented chip inside our lock barrel USB extension that will allow all different kinds of phones and tablets to charge. If you plan to provide a USB charging socket at your slot, you don't want customers to plug in a phone or tablet that will not work.
Our "Magic Adapter" as seen on our website, is a "universal" plug that we sell that lets users charge every type of phone. Inside that Magic Adapter is the chip that we had installed inside every Barrel Lock USB cable. A regular USB extension cable just doesn't have this.
The average USB plug (generic) will be plastic, not metal, will not be lit, will not have the larger gauge wires inside, will not block data transfer, and will not have the patented chip inside to charge all types of phones.
As for the power units that provide power, if you have 110 or 120 Volt inside your slot, we offer our single USB charger that puts out 2.1 amp (large enough for any phone or tablet).
You can also plug our cable into any motherboard that has a USB power output of 5 volts DC. In some situations, gaming may not allow tapping into any socket inside the slot, so you have to run your cable through and through, and outside the slot, you can plug two machines into one of our dual chargers that have an output of 2.1 amp on each USB.
These chargers are special made, because most other dual chargers have 1A and 2.1A and are 3.1A total output. Our dual chargers are 4.2A output so that you get the maximum charging on both slots if both are in use, and someone plugs in a device that requires 2.1A.
When you provide charging power to a customer sitting at a slot, it is important that they get all the power they need, and that the charging system is compatible with their phone, and that they are assured that your charging system is not wired up for data transfer (no data wires). We meet all these requirements.
Power consumption and facts about Sit N Charge equipment
Sit N Charge provides 5v DC power to USB outlets for phone charging. Many of these devices are now mounted on Poker tables.
The transformer that converts 120 Volts AC to 5 Volts DC is a 35 watt total output system. The math behind this is that 7 amp output times 5 volts equals 35 watts. And, 35 watts is used only if there are enough cell phones and tablets drawing a full 7 amps at one time. Cell phones use 1 amp at 5 volts, or 5 watts of power per hour. We install two transformers per table so we can charge up to 10 tablets and phones at the same time. The max draw on a table with cell phones and tablets would be 70 watts of power an hour. That's equivalent to a little more than one 60 watt light bulb as you can see).
So, if electricity is 11 cents per Kilowatt (as it is here) then 11 cents would power one poker table, 10 usb sockets with 70 watts for 14 hours on a two transformer system.
One poker table running at 24 hours, fully plugged in, running maximum, would pencil out to 18 cents in electricity.
One last measurement, is the total amps used in AC power. We said that the transformer puts out 7 amps of power at 5 volts DC. Well, the draw on the AC line in is 35 watts divided by the 120 volts, and we get .3 amps (that's three tenths of an amp) per box. So, one poker table will draw .6 amps (six tenths of one amp). of AC power through the socket and to the circuit breaker.
Now your electrician can just add up the tables on one circuit, and multiply the tables by .6 amps to get total amps on that one circuit. So, by example, if you have ten poker tables all wired into the same circuit breaker, our 14 transformer boxes would collectively pull 6 amps AC This is the information that your in house electrician will need to know.
The cost then, of providing electricity to patrons, is $1.80 a day per 10 tables running all sockets all the time 24 hours.
I hope this has been of some value in your evaluations of Sit N Charge systems.

Merry Marwig tells why she should be the state representative from the 20th district.
Merry Marwig
My Top 3 Priorities
- My top priority is standing up for middle class families by freezing property taxes and holding the line on other taxes on the middle class.
- The unbalanced and unfinished budget is the biggest problem our state faces. I will take a balanced approach that cuts waste and inefficiencies while protecting services for those who need them most, like seniors and children with disabilities.
- Maintaining and improving the quality of life for our area by providing more funding for public safety, working to reduce airplane noise and pollution, and increasing the areas that qualify for airport noise abatement insulation and windows.
Questions & Answers
Questions from Chicago Sun-Times (15)
Yes, I am for term limits on all state elected officials, including legislators, legislative leaders and constitutional officers. I am running because I am fed up with how things are going in Springfield, and it is time for new leadership in the 20th District. Voters are tired of career politicians who are a part of the dysfunctional status quo that has resulted in a gridlocked state without a real budget.
I believe everyone currently in Springfield bears responsibility for our current budget stalemate. I believe the Governor's job is to introduce a balanced budget and the Legislature's job is to pass a balanced budget, and I feel that all sides are more interested in making excuses or blaming the other side than in getting the job done. I believe the state needs to take a balanced approach to the solving the budget crisis, and that any new revenue would need to be paired with spending decreases.
I strongly oppose the Governor's drastic proposal to cut higher education funding by 30 percent. These massive funding cuts are incredibly short-sighted and extremely damaging to our state. Illinois is home to high-quality universities, some of the best in the country. Our excellent university system has created an educated work force that in turn helps attract and retain businesses in Illinois. Our government should be focused on making our higher education system even better rather than tearing it down.
Drastically slashing funding puts the not only the quality of our universities at risk but it will also lead to higher tuition and fees for Illinois students. More and more students are attending out of state schools both because of the uncertainty of higher education in Illinois and because they simply cannot afford it. When I attended the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, I worked hard and started my own business to be able to help pay my own way, but I could not have afforded to attend without the assistance of MAP grants. Funding for MAP grants and other state assistance has been incredibly unstable, making it nearly impossible for students to depend on these grants when making the decision on where to attend college.
Higher education is too important for our economy and the future of Illinois to allow it to be held hostage during budget games in Springfield. Our district, and state, deserve better.
I support changing the state's school funding formula to provide excellent educational opportunities for all children throughout the state, but I would not vote for any legislation that would reduce funding for schools in my district. This is not an easy issue to tackle, and I believe we will need teachers, parents, administrators and local school board members to work together to achieve this goal. I believe achieving this goal would be made easier by the passage of HJRCA 26, legislation that would provide more money to schools by taxing income over $1 million an additional 3 percent. My district voted in favor of a nonbinding version of this initiative when it was on the ballot two years ago.
I am opposed to all tax increases on middle-class families and seniors. This includes a flat income tax increase, any "progressive" tax that increases taxes on the middle class, property tax increases, taxes on retirement income, sales tax increases, service taxes, or any other tax that would increase the tax burden on working families and seniors in my district.
I believe the state needs to take a balanced approach to the solving the budget crisis, and that any new revenue would need to be paired with spending decreases. I have spent months walking door-to-door in my district, and many families and seniors have told me that they are very concerned about being able to continue to afford to live in this area, and that high taxes are already causing them to have difficulty making ends meet. I only support taxing the very wealthy, millionaires and billionaires who can afford to pay more. HJRCA 26, which would have created a 3% surcharge on income over $1 million, failed to pass out of the House this year. I would support that measure as well as closing corporate tax loopholes.
There are some relatively easy cuts that can be made in order to take the first steps towards balancing the budget. The offices of the state treasurer and comptroller should be consolidated, duplicative services provided by separate agencies should be identified and consolidated, pay for part-time boards and commissions should be eliminated, unnecessary overtime should be eliminated and pay should be cut by 10 percent for state elected officials.
I support the constitutional amendment that would put the funds specifically raised for transportation in a lockbox reserved for transportation spending. Transportation funding is especially important for my district as many area businesses rely on their proximity to O'Hare Airport as well as easy access to several interstate highways, and many residents commute to downtown Chicago for work. Protecting this funding and making sure it is used to improve and maintain our transportation infrastructure will not only support our local businesses and commuters, it will also support and create much-needed jobs for members of our trade unions. I support closing corporate tax loopholes, increasing taxes on millionaires and cutting unnecessary state spending in order to pay for our transportation infrastructure needs.
I believe that the state will only be able to find a solution to this issue if all the affected groups, including representatives for unions and for taxpayers, work together. This is not a problem that is going to be solved overnight, as it took many years of the state not contributing enough to the funds as well as poor investment returns to get to the huge unfunded pension liability we have today. One of the worst funded pension systems is the General Assembly Retirement System because of the many perks that legislators have voted to give themselves over the years. I will not take a pension if elected, as I believe that if members of the General Assembly had been more focused on properly funding the pension systems and less focused on how to get the best pensions for themselves, the pension funds would be in a lot better shape today.
The voters of my district have told me at their doors that they are very concerned about keeping our community's neighborhoods safe and secure. I am opposed to measures that would jeopardize that safety by releasing criminals from out of prison early.
I am very supportive of law enforcement's efforts to keep our communities safe, and I have not heard my district's voters express concern about this topic. Area residents are much more concerned about keeping our community's neighborhoods safe and secure by providing additional funding for law enforcement and by hiring more officers to work in the 16th Police District. They also want to see increased funding for important programs used to track dangerous sex offenders and the effort to test more rape kits in order to reduce the state's backlog and put more rapists in prison.
I support equal treatment for all Illinois residents. I look forward to learning more about this issue as it is debated and discussed in Springfield.
This is not a simple or easy issue, and I believe end-of-life decisions are very personal and should be discussed with families and doctors. I walk door-to-door in my district every day to speak to voters about the issues that are most important to them, and this is not an issue that has come up. Voters more often bring up their concerns with the impact that the budget impasse has had on their loved ones through cuts to meals for seniors, programs for children with disabilities and breast cancer screening programs.
We as a state need to be doing more to reduce gun violence. I support common-sense legislation that keeps guns out of the hand of criminals and keeps our neighborhoods and our schools safe. I will work to ban assault weapons, expand background checks to prevent people with violent histories or mental health problems from obtaining guns, and allow the courts to remove firearms from the homes of domestic abusers and other violent criminals. To make sure the background check process is being followed and to crack down on gun trafficking, gun dealers should be required to be licensed. I will also fight to make sure that individuals on the terrorist watch list are not able to purchase guns or obtain gun permits.
I support raising the minimum wage, as I believe a person working full time should be able to make enough money to support his or her family. The current minimum wage in Illinois for employees age 18 and older is $8.25 an hour, and a full-time employee working 40 hours a week at that wage earns only $16,500 a year. This is not enough money to raise a family on in Illinois. Also, as my district is made up of both Chicago and suburban residents, I do not believe that the work done by suburban workers should be worth less than the work done by Chicago workers, though I applaud the city for taking the initiative to increase the minimum wage. There are several different proposals to raise the minimum wage in Illinois, and I plan on working with businesses, labor organizations and community groups to decide which one best helps working families get on the path to a living wage.
I am against tax increases that would impact the middle-class families of my district, including a new tax on soft drinks.
I agree that in order to preserve our environment for future generations we need to work harder to develop renewable energy and rely less on fossil fuels. If we do not act now, we risk damaging not only the environment but also our future quality of life and the Illinois economy overall. I specifically support the Clean Jobs Bill, House Bill 2607. This legislation will create an estimated 32,000 new clean energy jobs while increasing energy efficiency and lowering costs for consumers. It will also require a larger portion of Illinois' energy portfolio to be made from renewable sources by 2030. I believe this legislation is a good step towards not only a better environment in Illinois, but also in bringing more good-paying jobs to the state. I would need to review other proposals before supporting them to ensure that they do not place a greater tax or fee burden on middle class families.

July 12th - August 18th, 2018
"Is it not odd, is it not incongruous, is it not, in the highest sense of human speech, incredible, that we should think so highly of the ginger-beer, and regard so little the devouring earthquake?"
A boy kneels down in the grass, his new blue jeans immediately stained. Scrabbling at the dirt in front of him he rips up a few blades, ties them into small knots and lays them on the ground behind him. Then, more violently, the boy jams his fingers into the ground, his nails digging, pushing, creating a small trough. Pushing a stick down and in, he uses it as a lever, removing a clod of dirt. The soil is cold to the touch as he reaches down into the hole.
The end of a worm has been uncovered. The boy stops, quieted by the sudden presence. He grabs at it, gently pulling the worm from its hiding spot. In a practiced gesture, the boy holds the worm from either end and ties it into a knot. Holding the wriggling knot up to his eye, the boy smiles. Then, happy with his work, he tosses it over his left shoulder.
The worm feels alive for the first time. The tree above grows closer and closer, the leaves beginning to glow yellow from the sunshine behind. It did not know there was so much space in the world. Its knotted body stretches, but cannot reach the low limb approaching. The worm gets close enough to see the caterpillars perched on a leaf, chewing softly, and then it falls.
american medium is proud to present The Changes Wrought, a group exhibition of sculpture and painting with new work by Loney Abrams & Johnny Stanish, Bea Fremderman, Erika Hickle, Dana Lok, Tanya Merrill, and Sydney Shen.
The works in The Changes Wrought focus on how perspectival shifts, outward and inward, amend how we view the context, makeup, and ideation of a moment. The objects act as metaphorical pivots, acting between potential futures and an examined past. There is a hope that by cementing something in time, by explicating the nature of it, we can broaden its history and expand our knowledge of the future. There is a fallacy to this notion, of course, but an optimism as well. A coin mid-toss, frozen in time, will never land head or tails. It just stays there, suspended, spinning. The works in The Changes Wrought focus on that moment, before the fall and after the ascent.
Loney Abrams (b. 1986, Boston, MA) & Johnny Stanish (b. 1983, Great Falls, MT) are Brooklyn-based artists who work collaboratively together. Informed by research surrounding synthetic biology, medical reproductive technology, and biotech, Stanish and Abrams call into question the future of the human body from a feminist perspective. How might breakthroughs in reproductive technology change our understanding of gender? How might technologies like CRISPR and synthetic biology point us towards a trans-species society? As our bodies become increasingly inseparable from technology and artificial intelligence, how will the boundaries between "natural" and "artificial" become complicated?
Recent solo shows include Bass Fisher Invitational in Miami curated by Anna Frost and Pretty Days, Sadie Halie Projects in Minneapolis, and Knock Down Center in New York. Recent group shows include Alyssa Davis Gallery, 315 Gallery, and Regina Rex in New York; Et. Al. in San Francisco; Ashes/Ashes in Los Angeles; Naughton Gallery at Queens University in Belfast; Prarie in Chicago; and Material Art Fair in Mexico City. Abrams and Stanish are both visiting instructors at Pratt Institute. Abrams and Stanish also co-direct Hotel Art Pavilion, a project space they founded in 2012.
Bea Fremderman (b. 1988, Kishinov, Moldova) finished her studies at The School of the Art Institute in Chicago. Her current research interests are the economic impacts of climate change, apocalyptic survival tactics, feelings of global dread and false notions of freedom. Fremderman's work combines parts and segments of a Capitalist reality as a reflection of daily life that has slipped away from society's consciousness. Exhibition highlights include How to Do Nothing with Nobody All Alone by Yourself at Shoot The Lobster in New York, Solastalgia at Born Nude Gallery in Chicago, Office Space at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Younger Than Jesus at the New Museum in New York and WAVELENGTH at Powerlong Museum in Shanghai. She currently lives and produces in New York City.
Erika Hickle (b. 1985, San Diego, CA) is an artist living and working in New York City. She was born and raised in San Diego, California. She received her BFA from California State University, Long Beach and her MFA from Rutgers University. She has shown at 321 Gallery in Brooklyn, Kimberly Klark in Queens, and most recently at Resort in Baltimore.
Dana Lok (b. 1988, Berwyn, PA) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She received her MFA from Columbia University (2015), her BFA from Carnegie Mellon (2011), and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2016). She recently had two solo exhibitions: Soft Fact, Clima, Milan (2017), and The Set of all Sets, Chewday's, London (2016). Her work has been included in the group exhibitions Dana Lok, Laure Prouvost, Mia Goyette at Bianca D'Alessandro, Copenhagen, Double Take at Agency, Brooklyn, and In Place Of at Miguel Abreu Gallery, New York. Dana's work has been featured in Frieze magazine, Cura, and New American Paintings.
Tanya Merrill (b. 1987, New York, NY) lives and works in New York City. She holds a BA from Sarah Lawrence College and an MFA from Columbia University. She has most recently exhibited at Almine Rech Gallery in New York and Unclebrother/Gavin Brown's Enterprise in Hancock, New York.
Sydney Shen (b. 1989, New Jersey) lives and works in New York and studied at The Cooper Union. Solo exhibitions include Interstate Projects, Brooklyn; Motel, Brooklyn; Holy Motors, Hong Kong; Roberta Pelan, Toronto. Select recent group exhibitions include Shimmer, Rotterdam; Aike-Dellarco, Shanghai; Minibar, Stockholm; Weekends, London; Hester, New York; Springsteen, Baltimore; Fused Space, San Francisco; Derek Eller Gallery, New York; Et Al, San Francisco. Forthcoming projects include Hotel Art Pavilion and Gesualda. Shen is co-author of Perfume Area, a book of prose published by Ambient Works, New York.

In addition to my post from yesterday I found that adding the path to the database (be on the network or elsewhere) to the existing path makes the code work.
Just my $0,02
Sent by Boudewijn lutgerink on 02/09/2016 12:04:12 AM:
tx for that piece of code. Here is how I adjusted it:
PROTECTED FUNCTION table_assign
Sent by FoxWeb Support on 02/08/2016 12:54:26 PM:
The code definitely does not look for the table you specify through the Table property in the list of open tables. You must either specify a full path, or if it's just a file name, it must correspond to a file in the path.
The Table_ASSIGN method should throw an error if it can't find the specified table. For your reference, here's the full code Table_ASSIGN:
Sent by Boudewijn lutgerink on 02/08/2016 06:49:03 AM:
After some thinking and testing I think I know what is going on in the table_assign method.
As long as the data is in the search path the table is neatly added to the object.
HOWEVER, (and here is the thing!) I have my database on a network drive that can be accessed through several settings depending on the machine where I work on (for one machine it could be the H: drive on another machine it could be the Z: drive.
I open the database depending on some settings in an ini file, again, modified per machine.
So my assumption now is that in the aforementioned method the adatabases() and INDBC() functions are not used.
What would be useful then is check if a database IS open (aDatabases() function)
then check with the indbc() function whether the table is in the database and then add the table to the table property of the search object.
just my $0.02 (about €0.018)
Sent by Boudewijn lutgerink on 02/06/2016 01:30:31 AM:
Out of the blue the fulltextsearch object doesn't recognize the "table=" setting.
I open the database
create the textsearch object
TRY TO fill the table property
However, no matter what I do it doesn't get filled.
here are the steps I take:
I tested against the errors property but that returns 0 errors. thus no description, severity or anything else useful.
What is going on here? This is driving me bonkers.

To start this off I will first explain what, in my view, learning actually means. To make the task easier, I copy much from something I recently wrote in the context of a debate that linked the question 'What does it mean to learn?' to another question, namely 'What does it mean to be human?' (Readers interested in that debate or who want to check the various references in what follows, can find it at http://www.learndev.org/ibstpi-AECT2005.html.
Here is what I wrote:
I usually express my view of what it means to be human in materialistic terms. My down-to-earth view of members of the human species is that they are nothing more but also nothing less than pieces of organized matter--just the same as rocks, plants, and other animals. What makes them special and somehow unique is the fact that, in the course of evolution, humans became endowed with the faculty of consciousness, the ability to reflect on their actions, to hold things in mind and contemplate them, carrying out thought experiments, and to foresee, to an extent, the consequences of what they intend to do. What exactly consciousness is; to what extent some form of it might be present in other species or be an exclusive feature of humans; what allowed it to emerge; and what are the neuronal correlates of consciousness are questions in which only recently some tentative insights have started to develop (e.g., Edelman and Tononi, 2000; Carter, 2002; Greenfield, 2002; Edelman, 2004; Koch, 2004; Koch 2005; Steinberg, 2005).
Consciousness allows us to experience joy and sorrow as we transit through life. It is the cause of the eternal amazement with which we stand, generation after generation, in awe of who we are, where we come from, what we are here for, and where we are going. It is at the origin of our sense of belonging, of being part of a larger whole, an experience to which we give expression in religious beliefs, mythologies, evolving world views based on the methodical and disciplined pursuit of scientific insight, and great works of art.
Within the above perspective, being human means having the unique faculty of participating consciously--for a brief moment--in the evolution of the universe. This is both an outrageous claim and a call to humility.
If one accepts the above vision of being human, then learning must be conceived of in a similarly broad perspective of purposeful interaction with an environment to whose constant change we must adapt while being ourselves the conscious participants in creating such change. 'Constructive interaction with change' thus ought to feature prominently in a definition of human learning at this level, expressing what ultimately learning is all about. Besides, it should be recognized that not only individual human beings partake in such constructive conscious interaction with change, but that the same behavior equally applies to larger social entities at a variety of levels of complex organization. Moreover, learning as conceived in this perspective is intimately interwoven with being alive. It is therefore not something one engages in every now and then, but rather a lifelong disposition. Finally, the disposition referred to in the last sentence is characterized by openness towards dialogue. Hence, I define human learning as "the disposition of human beings, and of the social entities to which they pertain, to engage in continuous dialogue with the human, social, biological and physical environment, so as to generate intelligent behavior to interact constructively with change" (J. Visser, 2001). When I first proposed this definition, I called it an 'undefinition,' referring to its intended purpose to remove the boundaries from around the current, too narrowly conceived, definitions of learning.
The above definition of learning applies at the most comprehensive level of being human, the level at which we are most distinctively different from anything else that learns, such as non-human animals or machines. Nonetheless, it should be recognized that human adaptive behavior, and thus learning, occurs at least at the following four levels of organizational complexity, some of which we share with other organisms (J. Visser, 2002, n.p.):
- Level 1: Interaction with threats and opportunities in the environment through genetically transmitted preprogrammed responses, e.g. fight and flight responses.
- Level 2: Acquisition of essential environment-specific abilities, such as mastery of the mother tongue, driven by an inherited predisposition to do so.
- Level 3: Deliberate acquisition of specific skills, knowledge, habits and propensities, motivated by individual choices or societal expectations, usually by exposing oneself to a purposely designed instructional--or self-instructional--process.
- Level 4: The development and maintenance of a lifelong disposition to dialogue with one's environment for the purpose of constructively interacting with change in that environment.
It can be argued that the above four levels of learning-related adaptive behavior in humans "represent a progression of increasingly higher levels of consciousness about one's role in life and in the world" and that "the four levels are not entirely distinct from each other" (n.p.). In fact, they may interact.
Not everyone is happy with a comprehensive definition like the one referred to above because it is difficult to use in the operational context of intentionally designed instruction. Besides, it may be seen to stress the obvious (see for a brief polemic on this issue the exchange between Chadwick, 2002, and J. Visser & Y. L. Visser, 2003). Most common definitions of human learning contemplate adaptive behavior at Level 3. There is nothing wrong, at least not in principle, with defining learning more restrictively than is done in my own comprehensive definition. It would be wrong, though, to do so without having in mind that one is dealing with only a segment of what it means to be learning. However important that segment may be at a practical level of intentional intervention in changing human performance capability to serve accepted societal goals--these days usually related to the interests of the prevailing economic model--by closing one's eyes to human functioning at a higher level of consciousness one is at risk of developing human beings who increasingly lose the capacity to intervene in ever more complex situations at a time when the major problems the world faces are exactly situated at such a higher level of complexity.
Thus, in view of the above rationale, I should like to argue that, at whatever level we interact with the development of human learning in our fellow citizens, we should always do so within the perspective of the highest level of complexity within which we expect people to be able to operate. Against the backdrop of that argument it is sad to observe how increasingly formal education, up to the highest level, is being dealt with as if it were a mere commodity (see for arguments in favor of this position Daniel, 2002, and Daniel, 2003, and for opposing arguments Jain et al., 2003).

You should never doubt the pace of Young Bull's steps. In accordance with the ancestral blood flow, the Gallardo is also equipped with a powerful engine. Audi has a big role in this. And not only the engine, drive and transmission are also the results of research carried out by German manufacturers. Just so you know, the Gallardo has the same engine as the Sport version of the Audi, S6, and S8. With a capacity of 5,000 ccs with a V-10 90º DOHC configuration, the power released reaches 500 TK and 510 Nm of torque. Aside from that, you may click here if you wish to rent a high-quality Lambhorgini car.
Lambo and Audi said, before the engine was installed, there was a choice of other machines that could be used. The capacity is still the same, but the degree of the configuration of the V engine is different. The alternative engine angle has a size of 72º. But based on calculations, an angle of 72º actually has a big minus effect. Starting from eating the place rather than the 90º angle, because the position becomes higher. This height also affects the center of gravity of the car. In addition, the car's body will be higher and affect the overall aerodynamic system.
For the drive system, Gallardo adopts Audi's famous AWD technology called Quattro. While the automatic transmission system can be operated through the shift pedal behind the steering wheel.
In addition to the engine, the black color makes the cockpit look sporty but still have an elegant element. Coupled with the selection of neatly stitched leather with threads similar to the exterior. The black color dominates the cockpit, starting from the door trim, ceiling, and floor. As a sports car, it's natural that the sitting position for a pair of seats is like being stretched. The chair can be adjusted according to electric needs. Instrumentation is simple but functional because only important indicators need to be considered.
In the cabin, the driving conditions can no longer be doubted. The sitting position tends to fall. The front end is no longer visible. So it really needs the right feeling to drive this car.

5 Tips for Data Privacy Day Awareness
Learn how to keep your personal data safe.
Privacy Day is January 28! The purpose is to raise the awareness of protecting sensitive information. Data Privacy Day was first observed in the US and Canada in 2008 and commemorates the signing of the first international legally binding treaty protecting privacy and data protection signed on Jan. 28, 1981.
There are a variety of things that you can do to protect your data, here are 5 vital ones:
Read More: 4 Different Ways Hackers Can Penetrate Your Network
ONE – A simple and most important way is by protecting your passwords. You should regularly change your passwords every few months and never use a password that's easy to guess. It's a good practice to use a mixture of upper and lowercase numbers, numerals and special characters. Additionally, passwords for all of your accounts should be unique. Using a password manager app is a good way to protect all of your login credentials and there are several that are available for free.
TWO – Hackers are constantly using new scams to trick people into sharing data. Common tactics involve spoofing well-known brands and asking users to forward promotions to others in exchange for gift cards or free gifts, entering online sweepstakes for the chance to win expensive prizes, and posing as company representatives claiming there is a problem with a transaction in hopes the user will share credit card information or other financial information. Although responding to such offers and messages is tempting, always assume that if something sounds suspicious or too good to be true, that it likely is a scam. Never enter personal information into online forms or share private data via SMS or instant message.
THREE – There are a variety of apps available to protect your privacy and personal data. A good antivirus such as dfndr security cannot only block and remove malware but features such as anti-hacking protect your smartphone from malicious links used in phishing attacks. It also offers Applock, a feature that password protects your individual apps for extra protection in the event an intruder takes your phone and it's left unlocked.
FOUR – If you have sensitive pictures and videos on your phone, you should also consider dfndr vault, an app that protects your files with military-grade encryption and provides hidden storage on your phone so snoopers won't find things you don't want them to see. You can also privately share files with a secure share feature.
FIVE – A VPN or virtual private network allows you to connect online anonymously making it impossible for hackers to see your online activity or your location. A VPN essentially masks your IP, especially on public Wi-Fi networks so your online presence remains hidden and any tasks you do like social media sharing or online shopping is that much safer.

Julian Spector
Julian Spector is a former editorial fellow at CityLab, where he covers climate change, energy, and clean tech.
The most outspoken Republican donor calling for the party to address climate change says the way forward on the issue is to not focus too heavily on climate change.
Jay Faison, a North Carolina businessman who recently dedicated $175 million to make climate change an issue Republican candidates care about, said at the National Press Club Tuesday that he's not out to change people's minds, just to support Republicans who adopt forward-thinking policies on cleaning up American carbon emissions.
"We don't need to agree on climate change to agree on conservative clean energy," Faison said. "If we're increasing jobs, increasing our energy independence, and reducing air pollution and carbon pollution … we don't need to agree on climate change. These policies make sense with three out of those four boxes checked."
This minimalist approach has been gaining steam recently, even as most prominent Republicans in office either reject the scientific consensus around climate change or argue that acting on it would be damaging to the economy. Just a few weeks earlier, a bipartisan group of governors announced an agreement to more aggressively support clean energy while setting aside the more contentious climate issue. Faison, though, isn't aiming for bipartisanship, per se. He sees clean energy as a natural conservative issue, one that is "critical for the longevity of the Republican Party."
Large numbers of Millennials, Latinos, and suburban women care about climate change and support more proactive efforts to transition the U.S. away from dirty energy, Faison has noted. To better compete at the ballot box, he argues, the GOP needs to stop letting Democrats use climate change as a wedge issue; his goal is to blunt Democrats' attacks and go on the offensive. He says he'd like to see the U.S. tackle climate change through free market policies and innovation, not top-down regulations like the Environmental Protection Agency's plan to regulate carbon emissions from the power sector.
He also rejects a revenue-neutral carbon tax, which many economists and conservative thinkers say could cut emissions through free market principles: "We are for more affordable clean energy, not more expensive traditional energy," Faison said.
At the presidential level, Faison's positions leave him without a clear candidate to support. South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham actively campaigned on addressing climate change, but he's long gone from the race and was barely a blip on the 2016 radar. Jeb Bush, to whom Faison has donated in the past, acknowledged climate change and humanity's role in causing it, but he dropped out too. When pressed on the current roster of GOP primary candidates, Faison noted that Marco Rubio had said some encouraging things about clean energy and that Ohio Governor John Kasich recognizes climate change is a problem, although "Polling doesn't seem to support him right now." (Kasich is polling in a distant fourth place, with less than one-tenth of the delegates won by frontrunner Donald Trump.)
That said, most of Faison's money is going to his nonprofit Clearpath Foundation to focus on education and policy proposals. His Super PAC, which will donate to campaigns, has raised $2 million and plans to beef up to $5 million—but that's not enough to sway the tide at the presidential level.
"I don't think I'm a big enough dog in that fight," Faison said. (On the left, billionaire Tom Steyer donated $74 million to back climate change-fighting Democrats in the 2014 elections, and even that sum didn't produce great results.)
Instead, Faison will be focusing more on congressional races, where Republicans in tight races might be more willing to get behind the clean energy message. In other words, the largest individual donor for Republican climate action is acknowledging the unlikelihood of a Republican presidential nominee who cares to challenge America's reliance on fossil fuels. That doesn't bode well for the success of the cause, even if Clearpath can increase the number of clean energy advocates in Congress.
The "clean energy for its own sake" argument has another challenge: convincing conservatives that this policy is a necessary solution to a problem they care about. Democrats push clean energy as the way to fight climate change, an issue that liberal voters can rally around. For conservatives, though, pushing clean energy as a path to jobs, for instance, puts it in competition with all the other ways to create jobs, including more support for the fossil fuel industry.
The Clearpath website has polling data suggesting that Republican voters would prefer a candidate who responds to Democrats not with climate evasion, but a message that "depoliticizes climate and emphasizes the wide array of benefits that clean energy provides." If that's the case, Faison will still have to push back the tide of conservative rhetoric that frames clean energy as job-killing, coal-annihilating liberal hogwash. That looks especially difficult considering the $107 million that fossil fuel interests gave to presidential candidates' super PACs last year alone.
The best hope, then, may lie in the shifting sands of Donald Trump's political stances. The real-estate mogul has repeatedly called climate change a hoax, but the six policy positions listed on his website don't include anything related to energy. If he doesn't have a position on clean energy, pitching it to him as a way to bring jobs back to America just might work. What better way to start winning against China?
New labor data show that the suburbs have the fastest job growth in the U.S. But we shouldn't assume the future of employment will be suburban.
The Western New York city possesses a distinct mix of weather, geography, and infrastructure that could make it a potential climate haven. But for whom?
It's never been easy to design a map of the city's underground transit network. But soon, critics say, legibility concerns will demand a new look.
Two new studies have revived the long-running debate over how police respond to white criminal suspects versus African Americans.
As a controversy over vacancy in the Bay Area and Los Angeles reveals, advocates disagree about what kind of housing should be built, and where.

How to Apply Magnetic Lashes
Here is a personal review of my experience wearing Full Magnetic Lashes and how to wear them! I hope you find this to be helpful. Let me know in the comments below.
There are mixed reviews about these new Full Magnetic Lashes. First, they have no bend to them, so the first few times when you try to put them on, they will stick out on the ends. I found this to be super frustrating so I actually did not wear them for months and just threw them in the back of my make-up drawer!
I recently tried them on again and I found that if you fold them in half, and bend them into an arch shape, it's easier to put them on without sticking out on the ends. With the Full Magnetic Lashes, there is no bend or arch because there are three magnetic strips on them, which I believe prevents them from curling naturally because of the heavy weight.
Here is what I did to make them work for me:
Put on your makeup how you normally would wear it first before you put on your false lashes. This includes foundation, powder, eyeshadow, eyeliner, etc. If you wear eyeliner, use a pencil eyeliner instead of a liquid based liner. The liquid based liner may smudge or shift your lashes.
Curl your own natural lashes and wear mascara first. I literally have NO lashes, so the idea of putting on magnetic lashes that snap over your own lashes was not really something I thought was doable. You have to actually have "lashes" in order to hold the magnetics in place. Putting on mascara helped the magnetics to sit on top, and below my own lashes.
I curled my own lashes and I put a coat of mascara. Put on a slightly thicker mascara coat on the inner corners of your lashes. This is especially important if you are wearing just partial magnetic lashes that go in the outer corner of your eyes. I have the full lashes, which covers the entire eyelid, as opposed to just the corners.
Bend the lashes to create an arch. After putting on mascara, I literally bent the lashes in half to make an arch shape, gently folded them in half a few times to retain the arched shape, then I set the top lashes on top of my real lashes. I quickly put the bottom lashes on and they snapped in place.
Once the top lashes are in place, while holding the bottom magnetic lashes, lower your entire hand below your eye, near your cheek and pull up to snap them in place. If you start from the side of your face, the magnets will shift and move the top magnet slightly.
Try a few times: You might not get it right the first time and that's ok. You can just remove them from the edge and try again! I tried 2-3 times before I got them to wrap around the entire edge of my eye lids.
Here are some photos of my eye with absolutely no makeup, so that you can see the magnetic lashes better! As you can see in the bottom photo, I didn't put the lashes close enough to my lash. To be honest, I have NO lashes at all so it was hard for them to "snap" to anything. My lashes are so thin that they kept shifting further away from my lid. If you have thin lashes like mine, it's important to curl them and wear mascara to make your natural lashes longer and thicker so that the magnetic lashes will have something to hold on to.
Finish the look: Using a black waterline eyeliner pencil, color the top inner lining of your water line to seamlessly blend in the magnetic lashes.
Benefits of wearing the Magnetic Lashes
If you can successfully get them on and in place correctly, give your self a pat on the back! Here is the real benefit of why I like the magnetic lashes: There is no glue involved and they actually stay put all day! They are easy to take off and leave no residue. They did not irritate my eyes, however when I first put them on, I could feel a "weight" on my lids. This feeling went away after an hour or two since I got used to wearing them around the house!
I normally wear false lashes with glue when I put on a full face of makeup, and sometimes the glue can irritate my eyes, especially when I try to take it off at night time. Wearing the magnetic lashes is great because it requires no glue and when you take them off at the end of the night, they come off easily.
Removing your Magnetic Lashes
To remove the lashes, gently grab the top lash between your thumb and index finger until the magnet comes a part, then pull the lashes away from your eye, while using your other hand to pull the bottom lash down to detach them.
Storing your Magnetic Lashes
To store the lashes, place them back in the container with the magnetic strip ends together to create a circular shape. This will help them to retain a more arched shape when you do put them on the next time!
Caring for your Magnetic Lashes
Gently blow on the lashes to remove any specs or mascara residue and use your clean fingers to gently remove any residue. If you have to clean them, place them in a bowl of mild soapy water to rinse them off. Air dry them on a towel and pat dry.

As of today, Atari has pulled Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Platinum from Steam and delisted it from Good Old Games. The game's Steam page is still up, but users are no longer able to purchase the game. Gamers looking to experience the Roller Coaster Tycoon games aren't completely out of luck; Roller Coaster Tycoon: Classic, Roller Coaster Tycoon: Deluxe and Roller Coaster Tycoon 2: Triple Thrill Pack are all still available for users to purchase.
According to a post on the Good Old Games general forum, Atari's decision to quietly pull Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Platinum may have something to do with expiring license rights. All hope for the game isn't lost yet though, as Good Old Games is currently in talks with the current rights-holders to reinstate the game on their service.

Report: Trump willing to extend March 5 DACA deadline if Congress doesn't act
If Congress doesn't take action to fix former President Obama's program that has deferred deportations for people who came to the U.S. illegally as children, the Trump administration plans to extend a March 5 deadline on their protections, according to The Washington Post.
President Trump said last month that he was willing to "give it some more time," according to Sen. James Lankford, R-Oklahoma, the report said.
"The president's comment to me was that, 'We put a six-month deadline out there. Let's work it out. If we can't get it worked out in six months, we'll give it some more time, but we've got to get this worked out legislatively,' " Lankford told the Post outside a Tulsa town hall Thursday.
The Trump administration announced in early September that it was ending the 2012 program that has deferred deportations for more than 780,000 people who came to the U.S. illegally as children, allowing the so-called "Dreamers" to go to school and work openly.
For people whose DACA status is set to expire by March 5, 2018, they were required to reapply to renew their status by Oct. 5, last week. Right now, for people whose DACA protection expires on March 6, 2018, if they have not already submitted a renewal application, they would be subject to deportation as of that date.
The president has called on Congress to provide a legislative fix by March 5.

On paper, Summit has an advantage over Jesuit heading into a much-anticipated clash of titans in the OSAA/OnPoint Community Credit Union 6A girls cross country meet Saturday at Lane Community College.
But Summit coach Carol McLatchie, whose team has moved up one classification after winning 10 consecutive 5A titles, wouldn't be surprised if Tom Rothenberger, coach of two-time reigning 6A champion Jesuit, has something up his sleeve.
"We're always nervous about Jesuit," McLatchie said. "He's a cagey coach, in a good way."
The showdown has been in the works ever since Summit of Bend was ticketed to join 6A this year. The Storm ran roughshod over 5A, but the lingering question has always been how it would fare in the big-school division.
If the regular season is any indication, Summit is the team to beat Saturday.
"Obviously we're in chase," Rothenberger said. "Summit's the favorite, and we're going to try to chase them down. We're actually kind of embracing that role. It's kind of fun."
The teams met once this season, at the 18-team Ash Creek Festival on Sept. 8. Jesuit senior Makenna Schumacher, the reigning 6A champion, edged Summit junior Fiona Max by two-tenths of a second for first place, but the Storm held down positions 2-5 and outscored the Crusaders 22-51 for the team title.
"The rumor was that all of the Jesuit seniors had exams or tests that day, but they all showed up," McLatchie said. "So we were kind of smiling on that."
Rothenberger said Jesuit used the Ash Creek meet as a training marker after the team did a 30-minute time trial the previous week.
"We knew where we had some weaknesses, so we wanted to expose those and see where we're at," Rothenberger said.
Schumacher, who repeated as the 3,000-meter state champion during track season, has plenty of momentum entering the meet. She won the Metro League district meet in 17 minutes, 12.3 seconds, a personal best by 23 seconds and the leading time in the state this season by 12 seconds over Lincoln senior Kyla Becker.
Rothenberger said Schumacher is running faster than Annamarie Maag, who won three state titles for Jesuit (2008-10), and isn't far off the pace set by the Crusaders' all-time best runner, 1993 champion Melissa Lucas.
"Tualatin Hills is a fast course, but we've not had a girl run that fast there before," Rothenberger said. "So it was pretty impressive. And she looked pretty pedestrian doing it. She didn't look strained. But the next meet is entirely different."
Summit is led by Max, freshman Teaghan Knox and juniors Kelsey Gripekoven and Isabell Max. Gripekoven transferred from Jesuit, where she finished fifth in last year's state meet.
Fiona Max, the 5A runner-up in her first cross country season last year, has made big strides.
"Sometimes it's just convincing her that she can do it," McLatchie said. "She's becoming more confident. And also she's learning that there are different strategies. She's tried it all this season."
Jesuit's lineup features Schumacher, freshman Chloe Foerster, senior Elizabeth Rinck and junior Alexis Kebbe. In last year's state meet, Kebbe was third and Rinck 13th.
In comparing the teams, Rothenberger said "we match up pretty close. It's going to be a great matchup."
The Crusaders have provided a barometer for Summit over the years. McLatchie said the team was "really pumped" in 2016 when it won its ninth consecutive title, matching Jesuit's record. Now the Storm will finally get a chance to go head-to-head with the Crusaders on the biggest stage.
"We just want to let everybody know we belong," said Jim McLatchie, who co-coaches the team with Carol McLatchie.

Established 2011
Thomas Graham was born in Glasgow, Scotland. In 1819 he became a student at the University of Glasgow and developed a strong interest in chemistry. He graduated in 1826, and later became a professor of chemistry. He worked at numerous colleges, including the Royal College of Science and Technology and the University of London.
In 1841 Graham founded the Chemical Society of London and in 1866, he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. He was the last person to hold the position as the Master of the Mint, which was the position he held for 15 years until he died, aged 64, in 1869.
The Graham Lecture has been established to fill the gap between the McBain award for early career scientists and the Rideal Lecture, which is a "lifetime achievement" award. Typically, it will be awarded to those working in the UK who are in the prime of their research careers, have established an international reputation in colloid science, and have already made distinguished contributions to the field of colloid science.
Nominated by: Joint Colloids Group (SCI CSCG and RSC CISG)
Eligibility: Significant and sustained contributions to Colloid, Surface and Interface Science made while working in the UK. Completion of postgraduate study between 15 and 30 years prior to the time of the nomination.
Currently-serving members of the Joint Colloids Group Committee are not eligible for the award.
Presented at: Colloids UK meeting
Frequency: Biennial
Nomination Opens: 1 October 2019
Nomination Deadline: 1 March 2020
Selected by: Joint Colloids Group Committee
