To assist your understanding of this Unit see BS 7913: 2013:
Section 4: "Heritage values and significance".
Section 5: "Using significance as a framework for managing the historic environment."
Section 6: "Significance as part of operational care and other interventions".
Section 7: "Maintenance."
Section 8: "Heritage and project management."
Annex B: "Conservation manuals, logbooks and four/five yearly inspections."
"Conservation is… a process which seeks both to question change and to reconcile modern needs with the significance of what we have inherited in order to safeguard the interests of future generations."
Clark, K.Informed Conservation
This Unit is designed to stimulate and encourage you to ask yourself some fundamental questions about why and how you intervene in the historic environment. Perhaps an even more fundamental question to address to yourself is – what, why and how is this place or object important enough to make me question my motives for intervention and how shall I plan and execute any works of intervention?
"Although many aspects relating to the implementation and management of conservation works are similar to those of normal construction work, there are a number of essential differences which require special attention. Significant problems are created by the fact that the site itself is sensitive in historical, architectural or archaeological terms. This will have a fundamental influence on the way in which the work should proceed and in the use of the most appropriate type of contract, contractor or directly employed labour… Those involved should have expertise in the type of work envisaged and a proper appreciation of the architectural, historic or archaeological significance of the site."
Stirling, S. Bolling, C. (2002)
There is a need to prepare specific briefs for professional advisers, to clearly define scope of work for contractors and directly employed labour and to ensure that expertise and experience is matched to ability to undertake work without placing significance at risk. Clearly defined instructions will be needed, and performance specification documentation carefully drawn up to ensure that providers of service, and required outcome, achieve the aims of conservation and use without loss or damage to significance.
"Competent person: person with expertise and the ability to undertake work in an appropriate manner." BS 7913: 2013
See also: Annex A of BS 7913: 2013 "Conservation accreditation schemes".
This Unit aims to demonstrate the importance of combining understanding, gained by significance investigation, with the aims of intervention work and how that understanding assists management and implementation of works without compromising significance. It suggests a structured approach to conservation strategy and management of intervention work. It also strives to guarantee that when implementing works to the historic environment you are aware of the need to protect significance and are able to put in place measures to ensure an asset's authenticity is preserved and protected for future generations.
"A conservation management plan is simply a document that helps you look after the heritage. It explains why the heritage matters to people and sets out what you can do to look after it in any future use, alteration, development, management or repair. …
Conserving heritage means looking after it, both for ourselves and for future generations. This does not mean freezing it, but it does mean caring for it, using it, enjoying it and making it accessible to others in a way that does not damage what is important about it. "
Heritage Lottery Fund. Conservation Management Plans.
The fundamental requirement is to develop a plan for intervention; this plan should:
- Understand the asset
- Assess its significance
- Identify issues and vulnerabilities
- Set policy aims for management
- During implementation the plan should be used as a management tool for controlling works.
- During implementation the works should be monitored and, on completion, reviewed for future reference and feedback.
(after Conservation management plans, Heritage Lottery Fund.)
Cost planning and cost controls associated with maintenance and intervention work will be looked at in this Unit.
This Unit will look at the effects of and management of visitors and the impact that they may have on an asset. This will include managing tourist numbers and visitor attractions in order to limit loss of, or pose a threat to, significance. The Unit will also investigate measures to identify threats to significance and fabric stemming from intensification of use, and offers a strategy for evaluation of that increased use against the additional revenue that might be generated.
The Unit will also look at reviews of condition and planning for maintenance that might be recommended or identified by such reviews; how such maintenance might be facilitated, including financial planning and fund sourcing. The issue of health and safety will also be addressed not only in terms of H&S during use but also in respect of planned intervention work.
Additionally the Unit outlines personal challenges, skills and procedures necessary to enable you to improve your knowledge of cultural assets their value to society and how this must be protected during works of intervention. It will assist you in gaining a better understanding of the impact of the decisions you make when planning, managing and implementing intervention work and how those decisions will, or may, affect significance.
Aim of this Unit
"There is a need to impart knowledge of conservation attitudes and approaches to all those who may have a direct or indirect impact on cultural property."
ICOMOS Guidelines for Education and Training.
The Unit is divided into seven sections that are equivalent to and in compliance with the 1993 ICOMOS Guidelines for Education and Training clauses 5e, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5m & 5n.
Each section comprises textual and illustrative information that together with the essential reading, recommended reading, additional reading and web sites to visit will assist you in gaining an understanding of the importance of the need to investigate and use the products of your investigation to fully understand the potential impact of your decisions, and to facilitate a conservation strategy.
Self-assessment questions will be posed and will be indicated like this in the text
These questions are designed to test your understanding and comprehension of each section and the overall need to establish facts about an asset's context, use and history, and develop this knowledge in order to formulate a strategic approach to intervention and conservation management. They are rhetorical in nature and require you to respond in your own way. The in text questions are progressive in nature and build up to better understanding and decision making about what to include in your portfolio.
You should answer these questions by reference to the text of this Unit and by reading the material suggested. Omission of these actions may reduce your understanding of the text: completion of the reading suggested will provide better understanding of the discipline of conservation and how professionals within it function and operate to preserve and protect the historic environment: You should consider how the body of conservation knowledge is constantly being questioned, expanded and added to by specialists within the field and how the principles, ethics and philosophy of conservation informs and structures any intervention work. A personal acceptance of this fact will help you to understand that you must also continue to expand your own knowledge of conservation philosophy – it is subject to continuous change and your understanding of it requires constant updating. The important fact to recognise is that it is a process of personal improvement that must be self-generated through enthusiasm for the subject!
All of this assists your understanding of what needs to be contained within your individual portfolio for accreditation assessment.
Within this Unit the term SME will be used to describe heritage assets and is derived from the words: sites, monuments and ensembles. The word asset is also used in this regard.

It would be an understatement to say my kids were obsessed with the musical Hamilton. They've listened to the soundtrack over and over to the point that they've nearly memorized every word.
It has served to bring history alive in our house and we've had numerous discussions and debates about Alexander Hamilton, Burr, Jefferson, Washington, and of course the Schuyler Sisters. *I relied heavily on Wikipedia and other sources to get my 'founding father' facts straight. To take our research a step further,
I took Robby on a tour of the Schuyler Mansion in Albany, Philip J. Schyuler's residence from 1733 – 1804. I had no intent of even writing about it here, but it was such a wonderful experience that I could not help but share it.
Our Visit to the Schuyler Mansion
Throughout the Schuyler family occupancy from 1763-1804, the mansion was the site of military strategizing, political hobnobbing, elegant social affairs, and an active family life. The wedding of daughter Elizabeth Schuyler to Alexander Hamilton took place in the house in 1780.
Robby and I decided to take a 'Hamilton' focus tour last Saturday at 11am. This was a small guided tour through the mansion and grounds and lasted approximately an hour and a half. Our tour guide Jessie was fabulous! She was engaging, entertaining, extremely knowledgeable and seemed to adore everything about the mansion and its history.
We learned about how the mansion operated, the lifestyle of the mansion occupants and their customs and traditions. We read snippets of letters from Hamilton to Eliza, saw the room in the mansion where the two were married (room with piano in above photo), explored where Hamilton and Burr once studied for their Bar exams, and Robby's favorite, touching the houses original banister that was likely touched by Hamilton, Washington, and all the Schuyler's.
Overall, our tour and visit to the Schuyler Mansion was an excellent experience. Educational, entertaining, and totally worth the visit – and the $5 admission (kids 12 and under are free!). I'd recommend this tour to any families who are fans of the show Hamilton, or want to experience some interesting history in our own backyard. Kids under 7 or those that would have trouble being patient enough for an hour+ walking tour should probably hold off.
GO! Schuyler Mansion State Historic Site
During the winter months, Schuyler Mansion will be offering focus tours on Thursday and Saturday at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Call ahead to reserve. Currently they are offering a Hamilton focus tour and a Women of the Mansion focus tour.
$5.00 Adults

Last Monday, the Sunbury/Big Walnut Area Chamber of Commerce welcomed John Fox on board as the chamber's new Executive Director. Prior to signing on with the chamber, Fox had been employed by Kore 7 Fitness in member relations and sales.
Fox, a Cleveland native who graduated from Walsh Jesuit High School, owned a coffee kiosk business in Cleveland for 10 years, sold out and became a Mr. Mom and a writer, and moved to Sunbury with his family in 2009.
Fox said he was immediately interested when he heard about the opening as the chamber's executive director.
"My wife and I are very involved at St. Paul's (Catholic Church, Westerville)," Fox said. "I like organizing, I'm customer service-oriented, and I love people. We love the Sunbury area; the people here are so nice. I want to give something back to the community."
Fox said being a former business owner he's definitely pro-business; and the chamber of commerce needs to prepare for rapid growth with the opening of the Simon-Tanger Outlet Mall later this month, and NorthGate Commerce Center on the horizon.
"We plan to make the Sunbury/Big Walnut Chamber of Commerce more of a community-oriented organization as we move forward," Fox said. "Some people think a chamber of commerce is just about business, but I think it's both."

Since he broke away from the Nashville machine in the early '70s, Willie Nelson has only made the music he felt like making ... and he's made a lot of it. One of the greatest aspects of the 82-year-old Texas legend's long career is his astonishing body of recorded work -- there's enough to keep a fan happy for decades to come.
What's especially remarkable about Nelson's prolific catalog is how much he's added to it in just the last few years. Thanks to Nelson's record deal with the artist-respecting Legacy Recordings label and his partnership with veteran producer Buddy Cannon, we've been treated to six albums since 2012. In true Willie fashion, their songs and musical styles run the gamut.
The 2012 collection Heroes found ol' Willie mixing it up with all manner of creative compadres, from Billy Joe Shaver to Snoop Dogg to the singer's own sons, Lukas and Micah. Band of Brothers (2014) brought us Nelson's first new original songs in years. Last year's Django and Jimmie was a nostalgic duet record with the great Merle Haggard.
My personal favorite of Nelson's Legacy works, 2013's To All the Girls, featured collaborations with Nelson's favorite female singers. The experience of hearing him sing with the likes of Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn and Mavis Staples complements well the breaths of fresh air that are duets with Secret Sisters, Miranda Lambert and other younger talents.
While those guest-heavy collections pack pleasant surprises in every track, there's also something to be said for Nelson's ability to establish and sustain a mood. He's never sounded more romantic and wistful than on the 1978 classic Stardust and its follow-up standards collections. So it's fantastic news for lovers of those sonic forays that his next album is equally as timeless and affecting.
Summertime: Willie Nelson Sings Gershwin (coming out Friday, but currently streaming at NPR.org/music) arrives a few months after Nelson accepted the Library of Congress' Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. Nelson recorded 11 George and Ira Gershwin gems for the album in honor of the composers' legacy, but he certainly didn't need any reason to do it beyond the richness of the material.
If the term "easy listening" weren't saddled with a stigma of cheesiness, that's what I'd use to describe the new collection. There's no effort required to vibe with it. The artist delivering these songs is as classic, comforting and unassailable as the standards he's taking on.
Nelson understands well the universal appeal of the Gershwin tunes he's selected, and he delivers them in a way that suggests he's been singing them for fun his entire life. He even re-records the Stardust pick "Someone to Watch Over Me," which is fine seeing that it has one of the most naturally beautiful melodies ever conjured up. But that's true of all these tunes, from the romantic sad-sack song "But Not for Me" to the conversational confidence of "They All Laughed."
Backing Willie on Summertime are many of the usual, immensely talented suspects. The steel-guitar of the great Paul Franklin and the instantly identifiable harmonica of Mickey Raphael work with Willie's beautifully nasal sustained notes to make the songs sound just country enough. Sister Bobbie Nelson's honky-tonk piano and Willie's guitar, Trigger, get shining moments on Summertime's title track.
And yes, there are a couple of duets mixed in here, a tossed-off, karaoke rendition of "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" with Cyndi Lauper (yes, her) and a misty-eyed "Embraceable You" with Sheryl Crow.
Beginning to end, Summertime is yet another Nelson record you can put on and not worry about hitting "skip." Rather than making some hype-filled splash for an artist who doesn't need one, it simply reminds us that Willie knows what's best for Willie.

Indiana Preview CapsuleOct 26, 2017 - 4:35 PM Indiana Last season: 18-16, lost at Georgia Tech in the first round of the NIT. Nickname: Hoosiers. Coach: Archie Miller. Conference: Big Ten. Who's gone: Coach Tom Crean, F OG Anunoby, G James Blackmon Jr., C Thomas Bryant. Who's back: G Robert Johnson. After withdrawing from the NBA draft, the senior will take on an expanded role as he tries to improve his numbers (12.8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game). G Josh Newkirk. The clear choice at point guard returns for his third and final season with the Hoosiers. He's hoping to cut down on the turnovers and take on a bigger scoring role (9.0 ppg last season). F De'Ron Davis. The 6-foot-10 forward lost about 20 pounds this offseason with the hope he will stay in better condition and commit fewer fouls when he starts getting tired. Who's new: F Clifton Moore. While it's unclear which member of this four-player freshman class could have the biggest impact, Moore provides the Hoosiers one quality they lack — size. He and Davis are the only players on the roster taller than 6-9. The Skinny: Miller's first Indiana team may not have all the pieces but it does have enough backcourt talent and potential on the front line to become a factor in the Big Ten race. Expect it to take time for the players to get in sync with Miller's new system, and an early four-game run with Duke, Michigan, Iowa and Louisville won't help. But a postseason bid is a reasonable possibility. ___ For more AP college basketball coverage: http://collegebasketball.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_Top25 .

T.S. Eliot might have been thinking of asparagus anticipation, which turns April cruel indeed. Like the dark before the dawn, my hunger heightens before the harvest, which is announced dramatically by those first green spears of May. Lettuces and other salad greens appear in the wings, herbs and green gar- lic too. Rhubarb abounds, wonderfully sour, and I gnaw a raw stalk just to prove I can. Peas proliferate (snow, shell, snap) but not for long enough. Strawberries and cherries aren't far behind. Wild foods push up from the forest floor, and even in Brooklyn we savor untamed species: fiddlehead ferns, morel mushrooms, garlickly ramps. Domesticated or not, birds lay more eggs when daylight lengthens, and a diet of fresh grass turns the yolks of pastured hens a deep, rich orange. Fresh grass also alters the milk of mammals that eat it; in spring, grassfed cows, sheep and goats give yellow, buttery dairy foods. Warmer waters mean fish return. Like a student buying September school supplies, I vow each spring that this will be the year I experience every ingredient, feast on fava beans, freeze pesto, stockpile jars of jam and salsa. Writing this in April, I'm crouched at the starting line, anticipating the race to November's last rutabaga. I'm ready.

In a blender, combine the scapes and olive oil. Pour mixture into bowl and blend the cheese in by hand.
Garlic (and its alium cousins onion, chive, shallot, scallion et al.) is a member of the bulbous lily family. Garlic farmers plant individual cloves before fall's first frost like daffodils, and their green shoots push up in spring, ready to photosynthesize. Farmers who grow hardneck garlic (which has superior flavor but is more difficult to grow) must snap off each plant's bud stem in June, so the plant will concentrate energy down in the bulb. The buds, or scapes, impart a wonderful flavor to spring omelets, salads and pestos.
They also look gorgeous in a bud vase.

For the seasoning sauce:
3 tbsp. chicken stock
1 tbsp. dry sherry or Shaoshing rice wine
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. white vinegar
dash white pepper
2 tsp. potato starch dissolved with 1 tbsp. water
For dish:
1 lb. sliced boneless chicken breast
1 egg white
1 tbsp. dry sherry or Shaoshing wine
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. cornstarch
vegetable oil
1 tsp. ginger, thin sliced and cut in 1/2 in. pieces
2 scallions, cut in 1/3 in. pieces
1/2 clove, finely minced garlic
24 snow peas
2 scallions, green tops only, cut into 2 in. lengths
1/2 tsp. sesame oil
1. Combine sauce ingredients and set aside. Toss chicken in a bowl with the egg white, wine and salt, to coat. Add the cornstarch and oil and mix until starch is just dissolved. Transfer to a clean bowl, cover and refrigerate. The chicken may be cooked immediately, though its texture is smoother after 4-6 hours and even better after 12.
2. Preheat wok until smoking hot. On highest heat, add 2 tbsp. oil, rotating to coat. Add the chicken, and using a slotted spoon, gently toss so the slices separate. Cook, stirring constantly, until the chicken is white and no trace of pink remains, about 90 seconds. Immediately drain into a strainer over a pot to catch the drippings.
3. Clean the wok and reheat until smoking hot. On highest heat, add 1 tbsp. oil, then the ginger, scallion, and garlic. Stir for 10 seconds, then stir the sauce, and add to wok. Stir con- stantly until the sauce just comes to a boil. Working quickly add the peas, chicken and drippings and stir until the peas are bright green, 30-60 seconds. Toss in scallion tops, sprinkle with sesame oil and serve.

1 oz. smoked whitefish (or other smoked or cured fish), sliced thin
1 bunch asparagus, on bias as thinly as possible
For the aioli:
Combine lemon juice, spring onion, and green garlic in a stainless or ceramic bowl. Add egg yolks and water and whisk to combine. Very slowly, one drop at a time, add olive oil while whisking continually. The mixture will begin to thicken. When it reaches consistency of mayonnaise, add salt to taste and correct flavor with additional lemon juice as needed.
To finish:
In a small bowl combine radish and fresh herbs. Lightly salt and add a drizzle of aioli. Mix gently and set aside. Combine whitefish and asparagus in a separate bowl. Dress with aioli. Place whitefish and asparagus salad on plate, then top with radish mixture.

Canberra's Border Wars
Nichole Overall is a Queanbeyan-based journalist, author and social historian.
"So long as the federal capital was in NSW ... I will give the Federal Parliament the whole range of NSW to choose the best bit of it."
So promised NSW Premier George Reid (1894 to 1899) in order to secure the glittering prize of the new national capital for his state.
As it turned out, that "best bit" of 910 square miles was, along with the traditional heartland of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples, from 1838, the Land District of Queanbeyan (yep, not kidding). In 1909 it was kindly handed over so that the Federal Territory might be established.
Those borders though, were being eyed off from the outset.
Nothing gets a Queanbeyanite's goat quite like having their hometown referred to as a "dormitory suburb" (aka "bedroom community") of Canberra – a place where they simply come to sleep after a hard day's work/shopping/socialising in the "big city". Similarly, when they find their addresses stamped "Queanbeyan, ACT".
Prominent citizens of the matriarch NSW town were responsible for seeing the capital located in the backyard of their borough. Displaying the foresight of Nostradamus when it came to future opportunity were such clever chaps as "wheat wizard" William Farrer, who saved the crops and hence the country, and a press man partial to purple prose, John Gale. But the township itself was never part of the deal.
Nonetheless, it found itself on the wrong side of the fence. Quicker than a reversed political decision after a Newspoll, a 1911 referendum put paid to the unthinkable notion, thoroughly backed by the NSW government of the day (although, Oaks Estate was generously sacrificed). It may come as a surprise that Queanbeyan was exceptionally valuable to those state coffers, having been "one of the wealthiest districts in the colony" (yep, not kidding).
Truth is, for almost its first 50 years, Canberra was virtually the western suburbs of Queanbeyan. Work and sleep in the Territory they did, but for everything else, it was off down the road to Qtown.
Shops that stayed open on Saturdays, a choice of cinemas to watch Humphrey send Ingrid on her way (once there were two), sporting masterclasses, and of course, pubs. On this count, no less than five at any given time (with a nod to that bloke King O'Malley who as Home Affairs Minister didn't win a whole lot of Canberra friends by ensuring they were without a drink there for 17 years).
The politicians were awake to the attraction of life over the border from the earliest days - they drank there too (except O'Malley, obviously). Long before Jerrabomberra and Googong with their lower rates and more affordable housing would entice ACT residents eastward (overlooking that some in those areas apparently enjoy seeing them as "pseudo-suburbs" of Canberra), there were moves to dissuade border-crossings. Workmen who stayed put were given job preference and the Commonwealth considerately gave houses to the married ones.
While much fuss was made of Canberra turning 100 back in 2013, effectively the city is 61 years old, because it was only from 1958 that it finally began to resemble more than "a couple of suburbs in search of a city".
Under the guidance of the inaugural chief of the National Capital Development Commission (NCDC), the first generation of Overall in these parts, Sir John, Canberra suddenly had roads and schools and housing and sewerage (seriously) – and much cause for optimism: in just eight years there were finally more residents than sheep (an almost threefold increase).
As the capital in the bush burgeoned, the Commission reached a cross-roads: intensify densities or "extend the fringes of Canberra … to preserve the open character of the city"? It was the latter, and "fringes" would eventually be seen as interchangeable with "borders".
Come 1973, with projections population would hit 400,000 in just over a decade (it wouldn't), the NCDC began to wonder if they could be pushed back just that little further. Only 1500 square miles or so mind you – or almost double the original allotment.
On that occasion, the scheme focused northwards – not a direct salvo Queanbeyan-side. People though were jittery again, concerned it'd be seen as a natural progression. Having already lost a bit of its own character in attempting to emulate Canberra's hipness, it slowly dawned on the smaller, now city (1972), that it needed to better embrace its individuality, or die trying. Literally.
In doing so, it would have to deal with physical short-comings too (it was one of the smallest Local Government Areas in the state in this respect) and there would be later cross-border argy-bargy when plans for the ACT as a full-scale aviation destination came into play.
Now its Yass suffering a "border personality crisis" as proposed Territory developments march ever closer to its northern flank. In response, its Council has drawn the battlelines – a proposed 20-year no-development, five kilometre buffer between the two. At this point supported by the ACT, but not all local landowners or the NSW Government (seemingly a little less "protectionist" than a century-odd ago).
Among Council's concerns, preserving "the separate identities of Yass and Canberra."
For some it seems there's that niggly idea the ACT will eventually opt for a "bit of a boundary adjustment" and resume the land anyway. Others are apparently of the view it's a logical step for further expansion in that direction.
As Canberra moves towards its aspiration of a magic million, its landmass is not miraculously going to double in size.
So then, where do we go from here? An escalation in border wars; perhaps talk of a hard border? Or a Vader-like Canberra Empire?
In some ways, in the past and now, the advantages of a singular entity might outweigh the calls to independence. For example, at least one public transport option that allows for direct travel from the far north of the region to the far east (that idea of Walter B. Griffin's for just such a train line got short shrift early).
From an historic perspective though, more likely palatable will be the continued cultivation of an even more symbiotic relationship (not the parasitic kind) between all the nearest and dearest.
One of the reasons this area is the "best bit" of a once whole state is thanks to its diversity, where you can party like its 1899 in Braidwood, experience Queanbeyan as multicultural mecca, check out Yass or Michelago to see how that sheep's back shaped us. All literally within an afternoon's drive.
At the heart of it is our still fresh-faced capital, with its monuments and institutions of national significance, its artfully cultivated public spaces and its stunning setting.

Game 1 Box Score – USMMA 15 – CMSV 7
Game 2 Box Score – USMMA 6 – CMSV 1
KINGS POINT, N.Y. (April 7, 2019) – The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy baseball team extended its winning-streak to 11 games with a home sweep over Skyline Conference opponent Mount St. Vincent on Sunday at Lower Roosevelt Field. The Mariners won the opener, 15-7, before taking the second game, 6-1. The victories improve USMMA's record to 19-7 (10-2 Skyline), while the Dolphins fall to 11-13.
Game 1 Highlights
- Junior Ben Kane (Huntington Beach, Calif.) got the start and had a tough first inning, allowing three runs, but settled in to finish the game with five strong innings, giving up with six runs (three earned) on six hits with one strikeout. He earned the victory and improves to 3-2 on the season.
- Classmate Garrick Colorado (Williamsburg, Va.) earned a four-inning save to finish out the game, allowing a run on three hits with six K's.
- Junior Matt Mundorf (San Luis Obispo, Calif.) had a monster game, going 5-for-5 with triple and a game-best four RBIs.
- The Mariners responded right back to the Dolphins' three-spot in the top of the first with four in the bottom half thanks in part to a total of three errors by Mount St. Vincent.
- A barrage of seven hits coupled with three more Dolphin errors in the bottom of the second allowed Merchant Marine to tack on six more runs and take a 10-3 lead.
- USMMA added two more in the fourth to go up, 12-3, but CMSV responded with three in the fifth and one more in the sixth. The Dolphins were really threatening in the sixth, bringing the tying run up to the plate before eventually leaving the bases loaded.
- The Mariners closed out the scoring with three in the bottom of the seventh.
- Senior Kyle Cunningham (Panama City Beach, Fla.) and sophomore Alex Mesaros (Pittsburgh, Pa.) both knocked in two runs apiece, while four other Mariners had one RBI apiece – freshman Garrett Aichele (Bainbridge Island, Wash.), senior Jesse Reinebold (Sagamihara, Japan), sophomore Vincenzo Alteri (Watertown, N.Y.) and freshman Griffin Reddeck (Fort Mill, S.C.).
- Merchant Marine belted five extra-base hits – Mundorf's triple and doubles by Aichele, Alteri, Cunningham and Mesaros.
- Aichele and Cunningham both had a game-high three runs each, while Reinebold, Aletri and Mesaros all scored twice. Mundorf, freshman Joshua Costlow (Lithia, Fla.) and sophomore Colin Baker (Clyde Hill, Wash.) all crossed the play once apiece.
Game 2 Highlights

Strasbourg 3 Bordeaux 2: Comeback puts hosts in Coupe de la Ligue final
Lebo Mothiba netted twice as Strasbourg scored three goals in 15-minute blitz after a half-time to earn a 3-2 home victory over Bordeaux and a place in the Coupe de la Ligue final.
Younousse Sankhare's first goal since October put Bordeaux in front in Wednesday's semi-final tie.
But Strasbourg produced a superb second-half comeback, with Ludovic Ajorque's fifth goal in as many games preceding a match-winning double from Mothiba.
Jimmy Briand got a late goal back for Bordeaux, but it is Strasbourg who will face Guingamp in the final, which takes place in Lille on March 30.
Paris Saint-Germain have won the competition for the last five years, but they lost to Guingamp in the last eight.
Progression to a national cup final highlights the strength of Strasbourg's astonishing rise back through the French league system following their liquidation in 2011 and evenutal reinstatement in the fifth tier.
@StadePM, fais de la place ! L'Alsace débarque en nombre dans le Ch'Nord Le Racing est en finale de la @CoupeLigueBKT— RC Strasbourg Alsace (@RCSA) January 30, 2019
#RCSAFCGB (3-2) pic.twitter.com/0USPC1SKX8
Strasbourg made a bright start with Stefan Mitrovic flicking an effort just over and Mothiba testing Benoit Costil.
But Bordeaux struck first after 14 minutes when a poor punch from home goalkeeper Bingourou Kamara allowed Sankhare to volley in from 10 yards, despite Kenny Lala's attempt to clear off the line.
Ajorque's acrobatic effort from close range failed to find the target for Strasbourg, whose frustration increased when Adrien Thomasson and Ibrahima Sissoko had separate penalty claims denied shortly before half-time.
There was relief for the hosts when they levelled just four minutes into the second half, with Lala's right-wing cross pushed out by Costil as far as Ajorque, whose deflected effort from eight yards beat the keeper.
Strasbourg moved ahead in the 55th minute, Ajorque and Lala combining to set up Mothiba for a first-time finish from six yards, and a rapid turnaround was complete on the hour mark.
Mothiba was the hero again, heading in from inside the six-yard box after Ajorque headed a Lala free-kick back across the face of goal, and a shaken Bordeaux side offered no response until Briand converted substitute Francois Kamano's cross with eight minutes left.
Nuno da Costa hit the crossbar for Strasbourg before they held on for a nervous final few minutes, the Stade de la Meinau erupting at the full-time whistle.

Disclaimer: Please forgive the grainy, poor iPhone photos. This was very impromptu experience and I was trying to document it the only way I could at the time.
Ever since the discover of Yogaglo.com my home yoga practice has really blossomed. I do some form daily, even if I don't do an actual class I will still practice. Harper has seen me practice hundreds of times and knows not only what the mat is for but will roll it out and automatically assume down dog.
Today I started a quick (30 min) stretch session on Yogaglo. Normally my kids either jump on me or ignore me when I start, this time was no different until 5 minutes in when Harper went and got his own mat. First win. So I grab my phone on the desk behind me in order to maybe capture him following the positions. He did. After he ran to get his iPad because he could not find his phone… and I had a phone in my hand at the time. First lose.
We will just call it Warrior 1 with weight. But then he started following along and wasn't that bad. win
I've been working on headstands a lot this week. Harper has been working on somersaults.
And as usual, this session was cut short because someone wanted a snack.

Pentagon acquisition chief Ellen Lord said work is already underway to meet one of 10 key recommendations the Defense Innovation Board issued in its congressionally mandated report on improving software acquisition, to be delivered to lawmakers next week.
Speaking at a DIB meeting in Washington on Thursday, Lord pointed to "pathfinder" programs that are trying to lower the bar of entry for small businesses to do work with the Defense Department, as well as to speed software development and delivery.
"We will set up hardened containers in an enclave in a government cloud or a cloud hosted for us," she said. "We will provide these hardened containers that, if industry goes in and uses them, develops their software using our stack, then they will automatically get an authority to operate—really a time crunch issue for us when we're trying to deploy capability quickly."
Over the past few years, the Defense Department has increasingly embraced commercial industry's approach to software development: continuous, responsive, and fast. It plans to rewrite its acquisition rules in a way that recognizes software and hardware should be bought and maintained differently.
The DIB's 10 main recommendations and attached legislative language aim to make it easier to plan and pay for software upgrades, and to recruit and retain programmers and engineers.
Top recommendations include:
Creating a new software acquisition process that relies on continuous creation and secure delivery of working software;
The "Software Acquisition and Practices," or SWAP, report also includes legislative language that Lord said is ripe for the fiscal 2020 National Defense Authorization Act.
"There's been a high level of interaction with both the House and the Senate, a high level of interaction throughout DOD," she said. "So what we are starting this afternoon is implementing what we're learning and I very much look forward to the team delivering the final report to Congress."
In a set of 16 other goals to tackle at a later point, the DIB added that every service should name a digital program executive officer like the Air Force did last fall.
Steve Wert, also the service's battle management PEO, helps manage iterative development and operations for a range of software and hardware programs ranging from the Air Operations Center's Kessel Run facility to a portfolio of systems that counter small drones.
After Wert successfully oversaw the rollout of Kessel Run, a public-private coding partnership that salvaged a failed air operations center upgrade program in 2017, the Air Force offered him a new title. He now works with programs to see where they can best use iterative development and is helping organizations across the service to learn from each other's best practices.
The Air Force has also tried to address "color of money" issues in its budgets by, for example, shifting the majority of its AOC coding funding into research and development instead of procurement, and moving away from developmental and operational testing blocks in certain programs.
"The services need to start thinking about their software talent in the same way as they think about their warfighting talent because software is what we use to define modern warfare," said Richard Murray, a professor at the California Institute of Technology who helped oversee the study. He added, "We believe the talent is out there. … We are convinced that this is an area that the department can take advantage of and can make use of."

Mr. Obama said he'd have his hands full attempting to rescue the American economy. But he has gotten in a little practice in bowling lately on the Nintendo Wii his daughters received for Christmas. Mr. Obama, who famously struggled in bowling during last year's Democratic primaries, said he performs better in the video game.

Shares in CymaBay Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:CBAY) rose over 25% to $7.08 on Monday on positive phase 2 trial results.
The results were from the ongoing Phase 2 study of seladelpar in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a life-threatening and life-limiting chronic cholestatic liver disease.
Seladelpar is in development for the treatment of liver diseases PBC and Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
After sharing preliminary results from this study, the FDA has agreed to allow continuation of seladelpar treatment beyond six months for the 5 mg and 10 mg doses, the group revealed.
"The data emerging from this study are impressive and support our hypothesis that lower doses of seladelpar than previously studied retain strong efficacy without raising a concern with transaminase elevations," said Professor Gideon Hirschfield, Centre for Liver Research at the University of Birmingham, UK
"We also see that seladelpar activity is not associated with drug-induced itch, an important benefit for patients with PBC. If these results are maintained over longer periods, we think that seladelpar could offer patients significant advantages over existing treatments," he added.

Learning from my mistakes and sitting firmly on my puppy dog tail we had a leisurely morning until about 10.30 when we set off for a few hours in the bay south of La Rochelle to give Valeria practice at steering under power and sail. Wind was Westerly up to about 15 knots and ideal for practising. We tried all points of sail but cannot get much more than 40 degrees to the wind without killing the speed or sail at much more than 150 degrees off the wind. We managed 6 to 7 knots easily on a Reach, dropped off to 4 when Close Hauled but not a bad result. Practiced taking a reef in the Main Sail, and also ran the watermaker again.
We returned to La Rochelle at about 1.30 pm and made our way up towards the Basin de Chaultiers where Windependent will be for a month having the washing machine fitted. The Basin has a lock gate and so only opens for around 3 hours around High Tide, hence the early afternoon arrival.
We were all tied up alongside by 2 pm and while Valeria prepared another gourmet meal I washed the boat down. Note to self – ensure saloon ventilators are shut before washing down. Had to sit on the naughty step!

Tired, unhappy, confused, worried, frustrated, angry, depressed? The human condition and experience can at times be trying, to say the least. For many, life can be painful. The fortunate part of life, you do not have to stay this way. Long term change and improvement in life can be achieved if you are motivated to learn how and willing to trust another person to help guide you through the process of self-change.
Psychotherapy is not a quick fix...psychotherapy takes effort....psychotherapy takes self-honesty....psychotherapy takes commitment. But in my experience, psychological therapies can be a powerful and rewarding life-changing experience. Licensed psychologists are the most highly trained mental health professionals available for your personal change. Find a psychologist you feel comfortable with. Most are glad they did.
Success in life is determined not by what we acquire but rather by whom we inspire!
