New Pubmed – fast, reliable and intuitive?
Pubmed's user interface and functionality will be updated in early 2020, but the new interface has already been made publicly available for testing.
When you perform your first information search of the year on New Year's Day, your favorite database Pubmed might seem very unfamiliar to you. The National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI) has announced that a new user interface will be released in January 2020 (though perhaps not on New Year's Day). The current interface will remain for a transition period of a few months.
NCBI describes their work on redesigning Pubmed in the following way: 'We are transforming Pubmed into a modern hub with a fast, reliable, and intuitive search that connects people to the world's leading sources of biomedical information.' For the users, the new interface is the most noticeable change, but the new Pubmed also introduces a transition to a cloud-based solution.
NCBI has chosen to work agile; that is, to develop, test and launch functions incrementally, and, if necessary, make changes along the way. This means that you may already try the new interface if you are curious (a link is also available on Pubmed's main page), although some features might still be missing. Because the new Pubmed is not yet the default interface, you might experience some problems with fulltext linking. Changes may be made right up to the launch and user comments are welcome. If you would like to learn more about NCBI's work or the features of the new Pubmed, you can view this presentation.
The agile development process makes it difficult to summarize the changes, but here are some general differences that will probably appear in the new Pubmed:
- a responsive design with better adaptation to mobile devices
- extended mapping to Mesh terms, which means that many searches will result in more hits
- relevance ranking (best match) as the default setting
- ease of use when navigating from one hit to another.
We will get back to you in January when we have had a chance to evaluate the changes.

Hi and thank you for contacting WPML Support!
I will be happy to help you with this.
1. Can you please let me know the exact words that you are looking to translate? If you can attach a screenshot with the words and maybe with some circles around the words that you want to translate, that would be great.
2. There are multiple ways to translate words and the process you need to follow depends on how those strings have been created/generated.
a. Can you please let me know if you tried to go to WPML > String Translation and search for any of the words in those sentences?
Here is some very helpful documentation on how to use the String Translation plugin:
If it's not there, it could help if you scan the plugin/theme that's generating the strings and then go back to WPML > String Translation and see if the strings show up:
b. If you can't find it inside the WPML > String Translation, it might be added as admin text.
This should be the normal process to translate admin texts:
3. If that doesn't help you to find the strings you are looking for, I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.
Our Debugging Procedures
I will be checking various settings in the backend to see if the issue can be resolved. Although I won't be making changes that affect the live site, it is still good practice to backup the site before providing us access. In the event that we do need to debug the site further, I will duplicate the site and work in a separate, local development environment to avoid affecting the live site.
Privacy and Security Policy
We have strict policies regarding privacy and access to your information. Please see:
- Please make a backup of the site files and database before providing us access.
- If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box.

The menu button name ("Hurma makineleri") from the Turkish menu can be found and edited here:
Regarding the breadcrumbs section in the orange area, I see that they are generated by the "Breadcrumb NavXT" plugin. However, I can't find this plugin to be part of the official WPML-compatible plugins directory here: https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/
However, it seems that there are a couple of things you can try to translate it (these methods worked before so can you please try the steps in the ticket below):
- https://wpml.org/forums/topic/breadcrumb-navxt-translation-2/
The steps might not work as the plugin is not compatible at the moment.
Another thing you can do is contact the plugin authors and recommend them to join our 'Go Global' program (https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/go-global-program/) where our Compatibility developers will help them make their plugin 100% compatible with WPML for free.
Also, in case you would like to hide that orange section completely, you can do that and I can help you with some CSS code if you want but I would need to know on what exact pages you want to hide that section.
Also, please let me know if you want to hide all the orange area, or just the breadcrumbs section where you still see that arabic text.
Please let me know.
I will be waiting for your response.
Kind regards,

THIS is the chilling moment a dad-of gave a thumbs up to his lover before she staged a "devious" plot to cover up their week-old baby's death after she had been "tortured" for hours. Her wounds were caused by twisting or pulling her arm, squeezing her chest and throwing her against a hard surface, the Old Bailey heard. CCTV showed brazen dad-of Wiltshire kissing Baker and giving her a thumbs up as she boarded the bus to Stratford, east London, with Imani's lifeless body strapped to her chest.
The teenager was swarmed, beaten and stabbed outside of a nightclub in Calgary in November He was pinned between a wall and a dumpster where, court heard, he begged for his life. During the trial, the Crown told the court that two altercations took place the night of the attack.

Sarah Mayberry Author ( ) Her Best Worst Mistake. Sarah (). cover image of Her Best Friend .
Throughout all this, Amy has harbored an unrequited love for Quinn that she never declared. Nearing 30, she decides it's time to stop pining for what will never be and slowly cuts contact with Quinn and Lisa. For the past 18 months she's ignored calls and emails, hoping distance might help her move on. Unfortunately, she's also missed that Lisa's been carrying on an affair and that they're currently going through a divorce. So, in his hometown to help Amy realize her dream of owning and renovating the historic cinema in town, Quinn reconnects with Amy and wants to regain what they once had, leaving her torn between keeping the status quo or risking it all to chance a romantic relationship with him.
What I loved most about this novel what how well Mayberry handled their relationship. She makes their friendship clear through their actions - their casual banter, remembered food preferences, shared memories - rather than just telling us they were friends and skipping to the lust resisting.
She spends the time to establish their friendship for the reader to see before truly pressing the romantic angle. As a result, I could easily feel their angst and confusion along with them, and grin and sigh when it all comes together.
I enjoyed the companion plot about downloading and renovating the theater. It was an opportunity to show the two of them working together to make a dream happen, but not in a particularly heavy-handed manner either.
The task suits them well - Amy's working to preserve something she's loved for her whole life, and Quinn seeing in it a chance to escape the city life that is increasingly alien to him. Full Review at: View all 4 comments.
I learned: I also learned that Sarah Mayberry rocks! I wish I had the ability to quantify the exact qualities that differentiate writing techniques that allow one book to be multi-faceted and filled with emotional poignancy and another to be flat.
Alas, I fail. Needl I learned: Needless to say, Sarah Mayberry's writing is smooth. She manages to find the exact right balance between action, dialogue, and reflection. View 2 comments. Uninteresting contrivances keep the couple apart. I wanted better relationship interactions. Amy has loved Quinn since she was She is now She never showed her feelings. He has never known her feelings. He dated another, married, and is now in process of divorce. His wife cheated on him. He gives her advice and then shows up to help her at a public hearing.
She Uninteresting contrivances keep the couple apart. She wants to avoid being with him because unrequited love is painful. I wanted something meatier. The set up was ok, but too much vague communication going on. Then after she makes a move, he tells her it was a mistake.
This happens twice. His thinking is he desires her, but he has nothing to offer her. One of the rules of writing is to have characters act in accordance with their motivations and aims. He is not doing that. The author wants them apart. This was no fun.
Three times? Lisa comes to town and wants to help with the rehab. Amy should have said no.
Quinn should have said something. Lisa and Quinn were in the middle of an unfriendly divorce. Allowing Lisa to join them and spend time with them was too soap opera-ish for me. A secondary story that was interesting was Amy downloading and renovating an old theater.
She had conflicts with local politicians and an unscrupulous real estate developer who wanted the theater. That was the better part of the book.

Nov 11, Jacqueline J rated it it was ok Shelves: This might be a misleading score. I didn't like the book not because it was poorly written or anything. I just couldn't get past the subject matter.
I found the whole they liked each other as teens but a different girl came on to him so he went with her thing just too sad. Even getting together now didn't save it for me.
I couldn't help thinking about John Greenleaf Whittier's words: Apr 12, Saly rated it it was amazing Shelves: Her Best Friend is a wonderful book.
It combines my favorite theme friends to lovers but also my least favorite one unrequited love. Amy has loved her best friend Quinn since she was fourteen.
But then Lisa moved to town and became a part of their trio and it was Lisa, Quinn dated and subsequently married. Amy kept quiet through-out, sad as well as happy for her friends. She learnt to hide her feelings around Quinn. She dated and even moved on but that love never really went away.
So, for the pa Her Best Friend is a wonderful book. So, for the past 18 months she cut of that contact with her friends to be happier. She threw herself in fulfilling her dream of owning and restoring the Grand theater. Things go south and she calls Lisa for help and instead ends up talking to Quinn they are lawyers. Quinn we find out is going through a divorce. Lisa cheated on him for 2 years.
Things went south for them because of Lisa's ambition in life. Quinn has not told Amy about the divorce so when he comes to town suddenly at the Council meeting Amy is surprised and asks him about Lisa. Quinn comes through for Amy and she gets the Grand and seeing the amount of work it needs he volunteers to spend his vacation helping her. Amy is initially not in favor of this as in the past few months her defenses against Quinn have eroded because of not being in contact with him and when she finds out about Lisa, she feels guilty as well as hope.
Quinn wants to get back his friendship with Amy. The question here which comes is about friendship, when things happens between them there is this question in Quinn's mind, does he want to loose his friendship with Amy?
We also find out that things between Quinn and Amy were not one-sided during their teens but Quinn chose to keep Amy's friendship rather than gamble it on a relationship. I loved the way Quinn got Amy, he knew when she was lying, I loved how Amy shouted on Quinn and took care of him.
The drunken confession of Amy's feelings made me cringe and happy in equal measures. The book was so well done. I will read more of her Super-romances now. Rating 4. View all 6 comments.
I'm not sure what I didn't like about this story but I had to push myself to finish it. Maybe I'm just not a fan of the best friends turn to lovers. I always end up rolling my eyes through most of these type of stories.
This story had pretty good reviews so I gave it a shot. I can see why people liked this story, the author has a talent with characterization, but the plot just didn't work for me. Nov 16, Tina rated it really liked it Shelves: Yet another gem from Sarah Mayberry. This is exactly the type of contemporary I love. It isn't flashy or dazzly.
It is a good relationship drama that hits on a lot of themes: The set up of the story is very well done. Amy and Quinn grew up together practically from the crib. They were always the best of friends. Then Lisa came along and the t 4.
Then Lisa came along and the three of them became the three musketeers, teenagers who did everything together. Amy fell in love with Quinn when they were 14 years old but it was Lisa who was the bold one and got his attention. It was Lisa with whom he moved from a platonic relationship into a boyfriend girlfriend relationship throughout high school and college.
And it was Lisa that he married, with Amy standing up for both of them as their 'Best Person'. But Amy never fell out of love with him and she subsumed her pain under a mask of happiness. She still loved both her best friends but it was hard for her to be with them so over time she slowly, through careful neglect, removed herself from their life.
But Quinn is back and he and Lisa are divorcing. SO now what? This is a great premise and it is the type of a plot that I just adore. It is a story that a good writer can wring a lot out of and a reader can sit back and sink into. Amy and Quinn don't just fall into each other.
While Amy has always been hyper aware of Quinn, Quinn is allowed to slowly become aware of Amy as someone other than just 'Ames', his best friend. And Lisa, although she is the architect of her marriage's downfall, isn't made into an out and out villain. She is portrayed as someone who really didn't know what they wanted and screwed up seriously.
Mayberry also allows the three of them continue to negotiate the fluid lines of their friendship outside of the romance. As Quinn reflects on his divorce, he mourns the loss of Lisa his friend and much as the loss of Lisa his wife.
Amy, as much as she is disappointed in Lisa for hurting Quinn, doesn't choose sides in their marriage problems, knowing that that is a boundary she can't cross. And in a master stroke, the thing that prevents Quinn and Amy from getting together right away even when Quinn finally acknowledges that he is attracted to her is his fear of losing her as a friend as well.
This isn't a contrived obstacle, but a very valid consideration he needs to make before he embarks on changing the tenor of their relationship. He's already lost that with Lisa, he was terrified of losing it with Amy. And I was also glad to see that when Amy reflects on how different their lives would have been had she been the bold one and made the move at the age of 14 instead of Lisa, Quinn doesn't go there.
He acknowledges that things may have been different but he was in love with Lisa even though he no longer is. This is the type of nuance and adult storytelling that makes the contemporary novel my favorite subgenre but is,sadly, not found very often. I knock off half a star because the ending felt rushed. I know this is because of the book length constraints in the Superromance line, but I can't help but lament how much richer the story would have been if it had another - pages.
Highly recommend. View all 3 comments. They were best buds, and then when they were 14, Lisa moved up the street and then they became the three musketeers. Amy had always dreamed that Quinn would be her first real kiss but it was Lisa that Quinn kissed and then as they got older dated, went off to university with and then married. All through those 16 years, Amy has always been their friend.
But for her own sake, Amy had been pulling away from them, trying to build her own life. Which was working pretty well with Lisa and Quinn now how powered attorneys in Sydney and Amy still in their home town. It's finally time for Amy to have one of her dreams come true, as she's about to download the Grand Picture Theatre that had once been her grandfather's pride and joy.
Only there's been a hitch and Amy suddenly needs some legal clout and so she turns to Quinn. Just like a gallant knight Quinn comes to her rescue and the Theatre becomes Amy's. Quinn's missed Amy tremendously and now that he and Lisa are negotiating their divorce, he needs Amy's friendship. So he decides to stick around on some vacation leave and help Amy restore the Grand and hopefully restore their friendship too.
Working so closely with Quinn, Amy's not so sure she can keep hiding her feelings, and just when she thinks Quinn feels the same as she does, Lisa comes to town. I'm not usually a friends-to-lovers romance fan, however, Ms. Mayberry makes Amy and Quinn's evolving relationship a story well worth reading.
I fell in love with Quinn right from the beginning. Never did he falter in loyalty and his resolve to protect Amy. Quinn cannot envision his life without Amy in it and he's scared that if they act on their intense attraction they'll risk their friendship.
When Lisa turns up, my heart ached for Amy when she realized that she'd never have her dream.

Stop reading here if you haven't read the book. It's definitely worth reading and I don't want my personal feeling to influence another readers first impressions. Caveats and Spoilers: While the portrayal of the three main players was refreshing in many ways, the realism actually ended up detracting fr Overall impression: While the portrayal of the three main players was refreshing in many ways, the realism actually ended up detracting from the enjoyment for me.
I hereby admit to being a hypocrite! I keep saying I want realist portrayals of characters, then when I get it, I end up wishing we had a less qualified "HEA.
He may have been attracted to her at 14, but he didn't act on it and was swept up in his relationship with beautiful Lisa.
Even when he and Lisa split a few times during high school and college, he had no thought of Amy as anything other than a friend.
There is simply no getting around the fact that he loved Lisa and would've been happy with their life if she hadn't screwed up so badly. Because of that, I guess I really wanted to hear Quinn say he'd been wrong, and Amy was his first choice all along.
I know that's cliche, but it would have gone a long way to making me believe that Amy would be able to accept the situation and not someday resent it. Instead, we get a realistic portrayal of people with complicated emotions moving on in life. Amy and Quinn are together not because they sought each other out, but only because of the actions of a third party, Lisa. That, to me, is a qualified HEA. Jun 20, Chi rated it liked it Shelves: Oh my God! I just wanted to hit a few heads together!!
And smack my forehead a couple of times. Another reviewer mentioned that some of the contrivances keeping Quinn and Amy apart were annoying.
I'm inclined to agree. It just got in the way of their union. It was however, really realistic, as one would expect from a Sarah Mayberry book. Amy's desires and strong pull of attraction to Quinn was incredibly believable. Who hasn't ever felt that irresistible attraction when you're falling for a frie Oh my God!
Who hasn't ever felt that irresistible attraction when you're falling for a friend or anyone for that matter? I understood that he had been blindsided by many of the events going on in the book, but sometimes I just wanted to hit him for his insensitivity.
Your best friend just told you that she loved you, and you couldn't give her your response?? And then he comes out fighting for her, and then I was: You love her! Go for it! And then They just made me want to tear my hair out in frustration. There was however, one last contrivance that I adored: You know the one, if you've read it.
So, apart from the stuff keeping Amy and Quinn apart, it was an adorable story, and their concerns were all so real. Hence, my rating.
Mar 08, Nisha rated it really liked it Shelves: I'm a sucker for the friends-to-lovers theme. I can't help it. This one had a pretty exceptional premise. Amy, our heroine, has been in love with her best friend Quinn since she was But, when her good friend, Lisa, starts dating Quinn, she has no choice but to be supportive. Another 6 years later, Quinn returns, this time as a divorced man to the still single Amy, hoping to return to the one solid thing, their friendship.
But Amy I'm a sucker for the friends-to-lovers theme. But Amy has been distancing herself, since she never fell out of love with Quinn. Now that he was single, would this be her chance to be with him, or would she be better off not breaking their friendship.
But Amy isn't the only one with these thoughts. Of course, it is no story if Lisa didn't return for Quinn, hoping to patch up their relationship. To me, while I liked the book, I felt like there was something missing. I'm guessing that it is the tension, which existed on Amy's side since the beginning, but not on Quinn's until the last half. Maybe this was all too realistic to me, the bittersweet relationship that Amy and Quinn shared for years.
I liked their childhood memories and how Amy's mother had the knack for interrupting at the most inopportune times. It was cute and very easy to read. Lisa and Quinn Whitfield moved to Sydney after they got married, joining a big law firm and living the high-life in the city.
For years she waited for her best friend to notice her, and then Lisa came along and whisked a teenage Quinn off his feet with an itty-bitty red bikini.
Now Quinn is home, for four weeks, and single once again. First of all — what rock have I been living under that this is my first Sarah Mayberry read? In love with her best friend since the age of 14 and having to be best [wo]man at his wedding is about as painfully unrequited as it gets.
She was too afraid to find out there really was no hope. She preferred to live in a kind of never-never land where she could angst over Quinn but still indulge the fantasy that one day, maybe, if the moon and planets were all aligned, he might possibly return her feelings. I completely understood why Amy was so invested in her love for Quinn, even after all these years, because he was a pretty great guy.
Injections of humours amongst all the emotional turmoil are always appreciated, and Mayberry has a particularly good funny bone: Amy, is that you? Quinn levered himself up on his arms. Why I Read this Book: I love reading romance — everything from contemporary to paranormal to romantic suspense. From time to time I enjoy reading realistic romance novels. As much as I love my vampires and werewolves, sometimes I need a taste of reality.
And a love story about two people who go from friends to lovers fits the bill just nicely. What I Liked: If you want Why I Read this Book: If you want to read about believable characters and their journey to happy-ever-after, then Harlequin Superromance is the series for you.
Why yes, I do like reading about believable characters who get a HEA. And this, my dear Watson, is what drew me in. Our two main characters, Amy and Quinn, grew up next door to each other. They were the best of friends, two peas in a pod if you will, all through their adolescence. Then Lisa moved into town and the three of them became the three musketeers. But when Quinn and Lisa started dating, Amy felt more like a third wheel.
Quinn and Lisa eventually married, forcing Amy to stash her more-than-friendship feelings for Quinn away. Dilemma, dilemma. Then a conflict that threatens this opportunity. Amy was 14 when she first started having feelings for Quinn but never gave him a clue. Quinn himself had thought about Amy as more than a friend a few times himself but never acted on any of it either. Overall Impression: Her Best Friend was rather predictable in that I pretty much knew how things were going to end up.
It was the finding out how everyone gets there that makes Her Best Friend an enjoyable read. Her Best Friend is a sweet love story. The whole time I was reading it, I really, really liked it. Unrequited love stories can be so painful and heartbreaking, but when it works out it's always extra cherry on top happiness.
I liked both Amy and Quinn, totally understood their fears and behaviour and I really, really rooted for them. I love Mayberry's writing 2 books in, and a huge fan already , she really writes marvelous category.
However, the resolution, it just was a bit too short. After all the anguish and longing I needed a bi The whole time I was reading it, I really, really liked it.
After all the anguish and longing I needed a bit more positive emotions. I needed to see a bit more of the healed Quinn. Even with the epilogue, I still felt slightly dissatisfied.
I can still recommend this though, especially for the fans of friends-to-lovers trope. Nov 12, ReaderOz rated it it was amazing. I loved the conflict between Amy and Quinn. By not wanting to ruin their friendship they waited sixteen years before acting on feelings that began when they were schoolkids. This story felt very real to me.

The walls of the Veteran Services office at Richland College are a little more beautiful thanks to retired U.S. Army veteran Bryce Hansen, who recently donated a custom-painted piece of artwork. His piece, titled "High Five," is a colorful depiction of the High Five Interchange, a five-level freeway interchange in Dallas and near Richland College, on which Hansen drives daily for his commute to and from work.
"I look out of my office window every single day and see these highways," said Hansen, vice president of energy operations at Power Brokers. "I wanted my painting to show that something so mundane and ordinary that people take for granted can be beautiful, just like veterans. You see something all the time–a road, a bridge, a veteran–and you take it for granted."
Hansen served in the U.S. Army from 1996 to 2012, where he worked as an enlisted mechanic before graduating from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point as a Green Berets commander. He also spent two years in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. His time in the special forces resulted in a predominant and persistent problem in his personal life: emotional detachment.
His return home from deployment left him struggling to connect with his civilian roots. Although he was surrounded by many people, he felt detached, lonely and angry. In order to be more present as a father, husband and a friend, he turned to art. "My art is a safe place where I can be completely open and honest," said Hansen. "So, while I paint to be free, I also paint as a means to relearn how to be vulnerable and to love."
Earlier this year, Pedro Navagonzalez, USMC retired and Richland College Veteran Services program services coordinator, found Hansen's artwork through LinkedIn and was impressed. Navagonzalez reached out to Hansen and asked if he would be willing to create something unique for the Veteran Services office at Richland College. "We discussed what Veteran Services was creating for the students, and I really appreciated the efforts the staff was doing to brighten up the space. I wanted to lend a hand," explained Hansen.
"High Five" features blue, black, white and cream paints and is filled with beautiful intersecting lines and busy cars, which are meant to depict regular Dallas highways in a picturesque way.
"I believe that having artwork created by veterans not only makes the office look professional, but it also helps inspire other veterans to pursue their passions," said Navagonzalez. "The painting that Bryce did is a great piece of art. The colors are amazing and the picture speaks volumes of our way of life in the Dallas metroplex."
Manager of Veteran Services Jody Addison added, "This piece is personal and local for us. We are excited to show it off to all of our students who come in here. We are super proud, and we are hanging it right here in the hall, really prominently, for everyone to see."
Unlike some of his other work, Hansen did not want his piece for Richland College to represent anything military-related. "I wanted to step out from my niche artwork of military-themed pieces and create a contemporary piece with crossover appeal to a civilian audience," he explained. "I find the commute to work as a time where many people get stressed racing to and from their job. I try to use that time to open my mind and do a deep-dive in self-reflection."
Hansen's piece is not the first to grace the walls of Veteran Services. They also have artwork from Michael P. Solovey (U.S. Army retired) and George D. Romero (spouse of a U.S. Air Force veteran). These are currently hanging in the office for the enjoyment of student veterans, family members and staff. In addition, the office has a sculpture on display by student Lorie Justice, who won the 2019 Veterans Day Art Contest. Her ceramic and wood sculpture features a white stone representing a tomb, fallen leaves representing the lost and two white statues representing those who are reflecting. In the coming months, the Veteran Services office is looking forward to adding two additional pieces that highlight the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy.
Currently, Hansen is working on a series of people and scenes from the Global War on Terror. Samples of his artwork, including "High Five", are available on his Instagram account, @bryce.n.hansen.
Richland College was listed as one of the U.S.'s top military-friendly schools by G.I. Jobs 2019-2020 and was awarded a "Silver" designation, with G.I. Jobs noting that only a select group of institutions achieves this honor. Veteran Services establishes a partnership with veteran students and their families to facilitate the completion of their educational goals. Active-duty personnel in the U.S. Armed Forces, veterans, veterans' dependents and spouses, reservists and beneficiaries of related military educational programs can utilize the resources that the Veteran Services office provides.

The Richland College men's soccer team, the 2018 national champions, traveled to Herkimer, NY, this past weekend to participate in the 2019 NJCAA Division III Men's Soccer Championship. Despite cold and sometimes snowy weather conditions throughout the weekend, the Thunderducks prevailed and competed in the championship game Nov. 17 against home team Herkimer College, emerging victorious with a 2-1 victory and an eighth national championship.
This title is the first for Richland College head coach Raul Herrera, a former assistant coach who stepped into the role midseason when former head coach Sean Worley retired. Herrera is also a Richland College alumnus and was the starting goalkeeper on the 2006 national championship team.
The championship game started with an opening score by Toi Yamaoka, assisted by forward Takayoshi Wyatt. The score stayed 1-0 until the 76th minute of the game, when Herkimer player Mupenzi Irakiza had a game-tying score. Despite the Herkimer Generals dominating play for the final 15 minutes of the game, the Thunderducks scored on a successful penalty kick by Alvara Tudanca with just two seconds left, clinching the title and ending the season undefeated, with an overall record of 18-0-1.
The championship tournament began Thursday, Nov. 14, with Richland winning 4-0 against Sussex County Community College in the quarterfinals. During the semifinal round Nov. 15, Richland cruised to a 5-0 victory against Genesee Community College, which secured their spot in the title game. This was the third time that Richland and Herkimer have competed against each other for the national championship.
Richland defender Mariano Fazio was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player, and Wyatt was named Most Valuable Offensive Player. Herrera received Coach of the Tournament honors. In addition, Richland players Sergio Baena and Henry Sach were named to the All-Tournament Team.
Richland College has won the men's soccer national championship in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2018 and now 2019. A ring ceremony to honor the 2019 team will be scheduled this coming spring.

With an adventurous heart, a brave spirit and a little help from Richland College, Mouna Taroua is living her dreams. A Richland College alumna, Taroua is a lead anatomy engineer at Lazarus 3D, a startup company in Houston, TX. While people may see Taroua as an accomplished biomedical engineer, working on medical training simulators, presenting at conferences and regularly speaking up in board meetings, many would never know that when she first moved to Dallas from Casablanca, Morocco, in 2010, she did not know how to speak English.
Taroua moved to the U.S. as an 18-year-old college graduate. "It was a scary and exciting adventure at the same time–I didn't know anyone here, and I wasn't speaking English either. I spent my first year taking English for Speakers of Other Languages classes at Richland College and the following years getting my associate degree in science and fulfilling all the prerequisites for biomedical engineering."
Taroua made lifelong memories at Richland. She had her first driving lessons in the Richland College parking lot. She met "life-changing" people while waiting at the bus station and practicing her English. She played golf for the first time during a P.E. class here. She worked her first ever job at the Richland College bookstore, starting as a temporary associate before working her way up to the team lead of floor operation. Taroua also loved the annual Multicultural Festival, looking forward to exploring different cultures and trying delicious food at the annual spring event.
"The campus is gorgeous," said Taroua. "I loved walking around, especially in the early morning by the lake and looking at the geese and ducks. All the professors were always so helpful inside and outside the classroom. Also, it was very nice having a small number of students in each class; it made it easier to connect and meet with everyone. Easy access to tutoring for different subjects was also a huge plus. In addition, the STEM advisors were so great guiding me on my professional path. I always knew I wanted to pursue engineering, but I didn't really know which field. I remember Mrs. Teresa Lynd walking me through each program along with each degree plan and answering all my questions until I made a final decision."
One of the instructors who stood out the most to Taroua while at Richland College was Jennifer Millspaugh Gray, who teaches speech communication. After finishing her ESOL classes, Taroua took a speech class from Gray. It was a time during which Taroua didn't feel very articulate or expressive with speaking English. "Jennifer Millspaugh Gray helped me overcome my fear of public speaking," said Taroua. "I used to have extreme anxiety before each presentation–especially knowing that I would be talking in front of native speakers. I think she noticed my struggle, since I began every speech with, 'I am sorry, English is not my primary language.' After every speech, she would congratulate me and other international students on how well we did. Her encouragement and advice helped boost my self-esteem and made me want to speak and share my ideas with others, without feeling apologetic about my speaking mistakes."
Gray fondly remembers Taroua as well. "I was just thinking about Mouna because I came across her LinkedIn profile, and I was stunned at how accomplished she's become in such a short time," said Gray. "I shouldn't be surprised though–she really was a standout student. I have a traditional Moroccan plate in my office that she brought me as a gift, and she inspired me to travel to Morrocco several years ago. To this day, Mouna remains one of my most memorable and impressive students. She was–and still is–a confident and competent leader among her peers, an extremely determined student, and a compassionate, kind-hearted person. Thanks to technology, I can still keep in touch with Mouna, and I burst with pride every time I see her progress in her life and career. I am so honored to have been a part of her journey!"
In 2014, Taroua was among 18 Dallas County Community College students who were selected to be part of the Transition Summer Program at UNT Howard Hughes Medical Institute Program. The group spent five weeks performing genetic analysis on the genome sequence of different phages. In addition, she helped work on isolating bacteriophages from soil.
After earning her associate degree, Taroua transferred to the University of Texas at Dallas, where she graduated with a bachelor degree in biomedical engineering in 2017. At her job with Lazarus 3D, she works with 3D printing to create copies of extreme medical cases of patients' organs so surgeons can prepare for upcoming operations. She also helps make medical training simulators that feel like real human tissue and mimic the mechanical properties of real anatomy. "Our products are different than the ones on the market because they are made of soft material instead of plastic; they can bleed, suture and be cut," explained Taroua. "Doctors today practice on fruits and vegetables, which are very different from our anatomy, to learn how to perform many procedures. To decrease medical errors, we come up with suitable training models so doctors can operate with confidence."
While the science classes Taroua took at Richland College helped her prepare for her future career, she didn't realize until after she began working in the real-world how important her non-science classes were as well.
"The diverse classes that I took, such as public speaking, psychology, sociology and art, helped me develop my soft skills and my general knowledge, which are indispensable to the technical skills," explained Taroua. "In sociology for example, we learned how to deal with and manage social conflict, which is common in my field. My public speaking class helped me overcome my fear of speaking in front of a big crowd, which is important when I am representing my company at conferences and when I express my professional opinion freely during a board meeting."
Taroua's best advice for international students at Richland College is to keep focusing on their goals, even if a million challenges come their way. "Moving to another country for college is a big step full of hiccups; however, it is a well-worth it experience, especially at Richland College where you will get all the support you need to succeed personally and professionally."
Together with guest choreographers and dancers, the Richland College dance program will capture the radiance of the universe through the spirit of dance during its fall concert, "Celestial Glow," with performances at 12:30 and 7:30 p.m. Nov. 8.
Directed by Richland College dance director Gina Sawyer, "Celestial Glow" will feature student dancers and professional guest performances and choreography in the dance genres of contemporary, modern, jazz, jazz funk, tap and hip-hop.
Dance choreography and film work will include original pieces by Alexandria Brooks, Cooper Delgado, Jessica Murphy, Lauren Schieffer-Holley and Keira Leverton, with guest performances by Leverton's Choreo Records Company and the imPULSE Dance Project.

She currently co-directs and choreographs Studio 7's CAS performance shows and teaches and choreographs for Dance Industry Performing Arts Center.
Leverton comes from a dance background—her grandfather was Buster Cooper, an influential tap dancer who founded the dance program at the Hockaday School. Much of her exposure to the tap community was through tap festivals such as the Chicago Human Rhythm Project and the Third Coast Rhythm Project, and she trained with a variety of professionals, including Gregory Hines and Yuji Uragami. Leverton has performed worldwide at venues such as Radio City Music Hall and Wembley Stadium in London. Her company, Choreo Records, seeks to preserve original choreography and compositions of Buster Cooper while supporting and encouraging young artists.
ImPULSE Dance Project was founded in 2012 by Anastasia Waters, with the mission of enhancing communities with the art of modern dance. The company has performed in many Texas dance and art festivals, including the Barefoot Brigade Dance Festival, Out of the Loop Fringe Festival, CDFW Modern Dance Festival at the Modern, the Brazos Contemporary Dance Festival, {254}-Dance Fest and Dallas Dances.
The Richland College dance program provides a challenging teaching and learning environment for students who value diversity. The program develops artistic excellence, fosters creative and collaborative practices and encourages personal agency and social responsibility in appreciating dance.
"Celestial Glow" is free and open to the public in the Fannin Performance Hall on the east side of the Richland College campus. Richland College is located at 12800 Abrams Road. Additional information is available at www.richlandcollege.edu/dance.

Reaching for the stars is a normal part of life for Richland College honors student Ashlynn Norris, who was recently chosen as a NASA Community College Aerospace Scholar. This hardworking young woman joined other community college STEM students from across the country in getting an authentic NASA experience.
"I felt breathlessly excited when I found out I was chosen as an NCAS," said Norris. "I have always dreamed of being involved in a NASA program, but I generally believed that it wasn't attainable. Seeing that email was a confirmation that I could maybe have a chance to pursue things I always believed were out of reach."
As an NCAS student, Norris had the opportunity to engage in research and learning opportunities with NASA during a five-week online course that ended July 3. During the course, students learned about NASA's past, present and future missions, as well as the science, technology and engineering that happen behind the scenes.
"In the last five years, we've only had one other NASA Community College Aerospace Scholar," said Kathleen Stephens, Richland College Honors Program coordinator. "It is a very competitive program that requires an application and letters of recommendation. As we seek to increase the number of women in STEM fields, I'm particularly excited for Ashlynn to have this opportunity."
Norris and the other students heard from NASA subject matter experts, including Stu McClung, project planning manager for the Orion program; Trent Smith, project manager for VEGGIE, the in-orbit garden on the ISS; and Lisa Spence, a manager in NASA's Human Research Project.
"These talks have been wonderful because neither Stu nor Trent were linear, normal students," said Norris. "They both had a very interesting road to NASA and offered a lot of hope and wisdom to those who aren't standard students, showing that anyone can participate in NASA if they work for it."
Upon course completion, qualifying students are invited to tour a NASA facility and work with NASA scientists and engineers on-site. The students will visit NASA space center nearest them and participate in a four-day on-site study of the current Moon to Mars campaign. During this trip, students will attend lectures with current engineers, research tasks and complete challenges.
"I am most excited about the opportunities that this experience can give me," added Norris. "I am blown away with how welcoming, enthusiastic and driven every single NASA employee I've interacted with is, and they've made a point to tell everyone that there is a place for anyone here, making sure that we understand we're welcome. Being an NCAS student comes with opportunities down the line as well."
Norris told her Richland College Honors Program advisors about a project some former NCAS student researchers spearheaded, in which a payload of micro-algae was sent to the International Space Station for a week to see how the plant would respond under stress. The plant produces a powerful antioxidant that NASA believes may be able to help fight the heavy strain on astronauts' bodies while in micro-gravity. NASA has agreed to ship samples of this algae to Richland College's biology department to be studied by students to see how micro-algae grown in space differs structurally.
"Ashlynn is new to the Honors Program, but she has already excitedly shared a way to enrich the program by giving us information about space algae that could potentially be used in an honors science classroom and for the science boot camp led by Dr. Dwight Randle," said Stephens.
Upon graduating Richland College, Norris plans to transfer to UT Dallas to pursue a bachelor's degree in software engineering. She has always been intrigued by artificial intelligence and the advancement of the exploration of space, and she hopes to have the opportunity to work with NASA one day.
"No one should give up on themselves just because they may be a non-linear, busy or working student," said Norris. "It is never too late to pursue things that you love, and Richland College and NCAS have done a wonderful job of reminding me of that."
The Richland College Honors Program provides highly qualified students with an enriched and challenging academic community where they develop the capabilities necessary to excel in their educational and career goals. In May 2019, 24 students with the Richland Honors Scholar designation and 24 additional students with the Richland Honors Certificate designation graduated from Richland College. Learn more about the Richland College Honors Program at https://www.richlandcollege.edu/cd/instruct-divisions/rlc/mshp/honors-program/pages/default.aspx.
NCAS gives community college STEM students an authentic NASA experience and encourages them to finish their degrees and eventually pursue a NASA-related career. Eligible students must be U.S. citizens, high school graduates or equivalent, at least 18-years-old, registered at a U.S. community college, have concurrent enrollment or completion of 9 or more hours of STEM coursework and able to commit to a five-week online session. More information is available at nas.okstate.edu/ncas/.

Scientific Name: Ficus elastica
Common Names: rubber fig, rubber bush, rubber tree, rubber plant, Indian rubber bush, Indian rubber tree
Ficus elastica is a beautiful, classic plant with large foliage and a huge growth pattern! Taking care of this plant is enormously rewarding - every new leaf is a thrill. Rubber trees require only modest care, and once you get it down, everything takes off fast!
This tree has an interesting number of utilitarian uses! Its sap produces a latex that can be used to make rubber (although the process is inefficient), and in some places in India, the roots of the plant are guided to grow over chasms and form living bridges! How cool is that?
Care for this plant is considered by many to be a little finicky, but in actuality it all comes down to a few simple points:
The best thing you can do for your rubber tree is just to give it a lot of routine care. Variables like irregular watering schedules, being moved from place to place frequently, and uncertain air temperatures are not a rubber tree's friends. Stick to a grounded schedule, and even if it's not perfect, it will damage the plant a lot less than an unpredictable care routine.
If you need any help with this plant, please feel free to contact us through any of our channels! We're on standby for any questions you might have.

Internal Drainage Board
The River Stour Internal Drainage Board (IDB) is a public sector organisation which is responsible for land drainage in the River Stour area, as well as flood protection. The IDB works on behalf of the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) to reduce flooding on agricultural, residential and industrial land. Board members are appointed by district councils and elected by land drainage ratepayers. In order to maintain water levels at a safe and suitable level the IDB carries out an annual programme of maintenance works.
We produced a Biodiversity Action Plan for the IDB in 2010. Over the next 5 years we surveyed their entire network of over 200 watercourses for wildlife and physical features. These surveys were then used to create a set of management recommendations for each watercourse which would protect habitat features while maintaining their primary function of drainage and irrigation. Since 2015, we have been carrying out follow-up surveys to find out what effect our recommendations are having. We have also worked on several enhancement projects, including the manual removal of invasive Parrot's Feather from ditches at Wade Marsh – pictured.

"Sometimes a student has a teacher whose commitment and passion is real and true. Our son experienced Ben's gift for educating, guiding and motivating students to be the best that they can be without forsaking their identity. We were lucky to land where Ben taught and, with our son, recommend and endorse him both as an educator and an outstanding human being." —Leslie Ruggiero
For almost twenty years, I have worked with dozens of middle and high school students, focusing particularly on creative and analytical writing, reading comprehension, and the development of study skills, time-management techniques, and executive functioning and organizational skills. I have also engaged with students to build their confidence as readers, writers, and thinkers and to increase their feelings of self-worth and control over their own academic success. Families appreciate the depth of my subject knowledge, my thoughtful nature, my sense of humor, and my ability to connect, both with the material and with their children.
I am available to work with students throughout Fairfield County over the summer and during the academic year, both on my own and through my partnership as an education specialist and organizational consultant with the organizing experts at In Order to Succeed®.

Fishing Report for October 16, 2019
Clyde Wicks is once again organizing the "garage sale" at Harbour Chandler on November 3rd, and all proceeds go to the Nanaimo River hatchery to enhance our local salmon stocks. If you have any good used fishing tackle, boat gear, or related items please drop them off with Dane or Tim at Harbour Chandler so they can be sold to benefit this fabulous operation!
I took a wonderful crew out fishing October 12th, and the Chinook fishing has rebounded into a more "winter pattern" of active fishing composed of mostly undersized Chinook, but with two nice keepers in the mix. This was accomplished by bottom bouncing in 180 feet of water between the Grande and Whalebone. The Cookies and Cream spoon, and Blue Meany hoochie were lures of choice.
Prawning was slower, with about 50 prawn per trap.
Good fishing!

You never know who you'll meet in a doctor's waiting room.
I was sitting in the waiting room, passing the time until my turn came to see the doctor. I'd already taken about 10 minutes to make my grocery list. I don't have a fancy phone to keep my nose stuck in and I didn't really feel the urge to look at a magazine, so I bided the time half-dozing, half-listening as a couple of other patients chatted. I hated to eavesdrop but the room isn't that large. Besides, it's nice to hear people actually interacting like we once did in the good old days.
In my profession, I'm accustomed to listening with purpose and paying full attention to stories being told to me, but when I'm out and about, I let the words flow over and around me most of the time, a casual observer quietly filing away in my mental storage facility words or phrases or topics that seem to stick out and grab me as something to pursue later on. Occasionally, though, I will join in a conversation if it doesn't seem that I'm intruding. This was one of those times. The ladies were friendly
and inclusive, talking about their lives and interests.
One of the ladies mentioned that she lives near Cookeville but she has family in Greenback. When she comes to visit, she takes care of other appointments, too, and that's how we ended up in the same waiting room at the same time. The three of us chatted about such things as well as general subjects like children and grandchildren.
Then the lady from Cookeville mentioned that she's a singer/songwriter. She sings folk, acoustic, Celtic, bluegrass and Americana music and also contemporary Christian music with a hint of folk/bluegrass.
I wrote down her name — Cathy Wilson — and when I got home, I searched for her music on YouTube. What a lovely surprise! She released a CD in 2018 called "Tales of a Songbird" that's billed as "A melodic folk album born in the hills of Tennessee with a Celtic, bluegrass flair" and another one, "I've Been Wandering," released in June this year. While both albums appealed to me, I was especially drawn to "I've Been Wandering," with its emphasis on the Christian music. My favorite selections are "You Carry Me," "Rock My Soul," "Home" and "Deep Calls to Deep."
Cathy's voice is perfect for the types of songs she sings — clear and crisp and refreshing, with a story to tell. I'm not an expert in music by any stretch of the imagination, but the timbre of her voice reminds me a bit of Anita Carter, who performed with her mother and sisters as Mother Maybelle and The Carter Sisters, as well as in solos. If you can't quite place her, Anita's sister and brother-in-law were Johnny and June Carter Cash. I hear a hint of Emmylou Harris in Cathy's voice, as well.
If you want to learn more about Cathy, she has a Facebook page, Cathy Wilson Music. Since I gave up Facebook several months ago, I can only see a small bit of it, but those of you who are subscribed may want to check it out and give her some feedback.
Also, be sure to search for Cathy Wilson's "Tales of a Songbird" and "I've Been Wandering" on YouTube. I think you'll enjoy listening to the different selections as much as I did.
