Colonial Brewing Co is expanding its national reach from its core states of Victoria and Western Australia, with its products now stocked in Woolworths chains such as Dan Murphy's, in liquor stores owned by Coles, and across 2000 independent bottle shops.
Colonial doesn't package any beer in bottles, using only cans. It also sells kegs in the on-tap market in hotels and bars.
Colonial Brewing managing director Lawrence Dowd said cans were growing in popularity, and the group was benefiting from the industry shift.
"We backed the can very early and in the end it's been a good move,'' he said. "It's better for the beer because it doesn't get any light in.''
Unwanted CUB plant
Colonial Brewing bought the former CUB brewery in an industrial part of Port Melbourne in 2015, which had been the former home of the Matilda Bay brand. "It was a very lucky open window.''
The lift in capacity with a new canning line and a brewhouse with specialist equipment at Port Melbourne is part of the acceleration of a national push, just as CUB and fellow beer giant Lion grapple with falling sales in their mainstream beer operations.
Colonial also operates a small operation in the Margaret River region in Western Australia, where the business had its genesis.
Total brewing capacity has risen to 9 million litres annually with the upgrade.
CUB, the maker of Victoria Bitter, Carlton Draught and Great Northern, is also about to undergo another ownership change with a $16 billion buyout from Japan's Asahi awaiting clearance from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
The ACCC's decision is scheduled to be made on December 5.
CUB is currently owned by the world's biggest beer company AB InBev.
Sales Jump
Mr Dowd said all of Colonial Brewing beers had been growing at a double-digit rate in the past year. Sales had been $17 million in 2018-19 and were on track to reach an estimated $24 million this financial year.
He said being Australian-owned and independent was becoming a increasingly important selling point, with both big brewers CUB and Lion owned by foreign entities.
The looming Asahi buyout had stepped that up further. "It's put a bit of a spotlight on independent craft brewing,'' he said.
Chris Morris, who made his fortune as a founder of share registry group Computershare and who also has a large property and pubs portfolio, is chairman of the board of Colonial Brewing.
Mr Morris was No. 82 on the Australian Financial Review's Rich List in 2019, with an estimated personal wealth of $1.13 billion.
His business smarts have been invaluable on the craft brewing front, and he has been a mentor to Mr Dowd.
Mr Morris owns the Colonial Leisure Group, which runs pubs in several states and owns the Portsea Hotel on Victora's Mornington Peninsula and the Albert Park Hotel in the trendy Melbourne suburb of Albert Park.
A Leg-Up from Pubs
Mr Dowd said there was a leg-up in sales through the pubs operated by the Colonial Leisure Group, but that represented only about 8 per cent of total sales.
Mr Dowd said Colonial was now in the top five independent craft brewers in Australia, and had periodically been sounded out by potential buyers in an industry where some players had been snapped up by large brewers.
"There's no doubt we're on the radar,'' he said.
CUB acquired 4 Pines in Sydney and Pirate Life in Adelaide in quick succession in 2017, while Asahi bought Queensland's Green Beacon this year.
Lion last week went offshore, with its craft beer division Little World Beverages buying one of the United States' largest craft beer businesses, New Belgium Brewing, based in Colorado.
CUB announced in October it was bringing back one of the pioneers of craft beer brewing in Australia to rejuvenate the Matilda Bay brand, with the beer's original founder Phil Sexton to run a new boutique brewery at Healesville in Victoria.
Matilda Bay was originally established in Western Australia in 1983, before it was later fully acquired by CUB in 1990 for $23 million and production shifted to the eastern states.

I have built bowed instruments for many years, and in the beginning (like most luthiers in this business) I spent a long time and traveled many kilometers around Europe to be able to examine original instruments, in public or private collections. Close scrutiny of these originals oftentimes made problems arise, rather than suggesting solutions about the methods used by their builders, therefore at first I simply tried to build replicas, overlooking the fact that building methods may have fundamental consequences on the final sound quality. Later on, both because of explicit requests from customers in search of philological accuracy, and for my own desire of a better or simply different result, I decided to face the problem of "reconstructing" the procedures that were originally used by the old masters.
I put some of my experiences here, to share with colleagues and musicians.

By Jonny Lupsha, Wondrium Staff Writer
DNA database process used for crime-solving may help identify unknown soldiers. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has tried for decades to verify the identities of the thousands of American troops who died in World War II but were unidentifiable. Genes hold our unique blueprints.
Since the beginning of World War II, efforts have been made to bring closure to the families of soldiers who never returned home to the United States. Most troops killed in action were identified through their dog tags, matching remains with on-file dental records, or other means. However, according to the official Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency website, "Today, more than 72,000 Americans remain unaccounted for from WWII."
Historically, family members of missing soldiers were asked to come forward to provide DNA samples to match to unidentified remains. Now, the DoD is considering approaching the problem from the opposite angle: uploading DNA from buried, unknown soldiers to a public genetics database and searching for matches. This approach has been used in the past to identify murderers in cold cases such as the Golden State Killer.
In his video series Understanding Genetics: DNA, Genes, and Their Real-World Applications, Dr. David Sadava, Adjunct Professor of Cancer Cell Biology at the City of Hope Medical Center in Duarte, California, explained how genetic testing is involved in forensics.
Genotype Analysis for Identification
As we know, DNA exists in every cell of the body and each person's DNA is different. A DNA strand resembles a twisting ladder, in which each leg of the ladder is a backbone of alternating groups of sugar and phosphate. Meanwhile, each rung of the ladder is made up of paired chemical bases: adenine, cytosine, guanine, or thymine; abbreviated as A, C, G, and T, respectively.
Each of these bases prefers to be paired with one other: adenine and thymine bond with each other, as do cytosine and guanine. While all of us have these four pairings—A to T, T to A, C to G, and G to C—repeating countless times in our DNA, their order and the amount of each pairing is unique.
"Human genome sequencing has revealed that the genome contains short sequences, about two to 10 base pairs long, that are repeated many times in tandem," Dr. Sadava said. "These are appropriately called short tandem repeats. Looking through the whole genome, there are these different short tandem repeats, and the repeat numbers are inherited."
In one example Dr. Sadava gave, looking at one leg of the DNA ladder, we may find the sequence TCAT repeated five times at one location and seven times in another. Since the repeats are inherited, this means the sequence of five TCATs comes from one parent while the sequence of seven TCATs comes from the other parent.
"Suppose five [TCATs in a row] is present 50% of the time in the population and seven [TCATs in a row] is present 50% of the time in the population of the United States of America," Dr. Sadava said.
This would mean that in order to find out how many people in the United States have both short tandem repeats—five TCATs in a row and seven TCATs in a row—in their DNA, you would have to multiply the odds of each occurrence. One half times one half is one quarter, or 25%. This may not narrow down the population much, but there are 13 short tandem repeat sequences used for DNA identification, some of which occur much less often.
By using the 13 short tandem repeats, DNA identification can narrow down someone's identity to a single person. This may soon help thousands of families of unaccounted-for World War II soldiers to find closure.

DEW Engineering, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems sign licensing agreement
By Design Engineering StaffGeneral defence DEW Engineering military
Deal will give Canadian forces access to state-of-the-art Trophy Active Protection System for armored vehicles.
Ottawa, ON – Canadian defence contractor DEW Engineering and Development ULC announced that it has signed a teaming and licensing agreements with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd of Haifa, Israel. The agreements will result in the Canadian Military gaining access to Rafael's advanced protection systems. With more than 60 years of experience, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd designs, manufactures and supplies a range of high-tech defense systems for air, land, sea and space applications.
Among those systems is the Trophy Active Protection System (also known as ASPRO-A), an active protection system for armored vehicles that intercepts and destroys incoming missiles and rockets with a shotgun-like blast. Radar panels mounted on the vehicle provide a 360-degree radar view that detects missile fire. An on board computer calculates the projectile's incoming trajectory and signals two rotating launchers to fire small metal pellets like buckshot.
DEW Engineering will present models of Rafael's Trophy Active Protective System and Reactive Armour installed on an M113 APC at the Canadian defence and security industries expo, CANSEC 2011, in Ottawa on June 1 – 2, 2011.

Some of the shine came off Netflix this week, with the streaming giant's subscriber growth falling a million short of expectations.
Netflix's addition of 5.2 million new members in Q2 led to an immediate dip in its share price. The SVOD company has also forecast a year-on-year decline in net additions for the quarter to September.
Some 4.5 million of Netflix's new subscribers were in international markets, indicating the extent to which domestic US growth has leveled off.
CEO Reed Hastings remained bullish on the earnings call that followed the results, saying that the company's fundamentals "have never been stronger" and making the point that paid net additions were up compared with the previous year.
Hastings did admit that Netflix is facing "a lot of new competition", citing Disney's entry into the streaming market, new investment for HBO and plans by French broadcasters to launch their own OTT TV service.
However, Disney has yet to make its play and France's plans for the Salto joint venture between public broadcaster France Télévisions and commercial players TF1 and M6 are still at a very early stage, and have already attracted sceptical comments.
HBO, meanwhile, is forecasting a "tough year" ahead as it pushes to increase its subscriber base and up its content line-up. Netflix also this week beat HBO for the number of Emmy nominations received for the first time.
Hastings' recipe for taking on this putative competition is essentially more of the same – combining "the best content we've ever done" with "the best user interface" and "the best recommendations" and marketing.
It's a formula that has served the company well to date. It is worth noting that the shareholder retreat following the poor Q2 showing came immediately after a first quarter in which Netflix delivered phenomenal growth, beating expectations for by close to the same amount that it undershot in Q2. However, the slowdown in the US in particular may have spooked investors, amid an underlying wariness about the company's level of debt.
Subscriber growth – particularly international growth, given the relatively saturated status of the US market – is a must for Netflix and the share price movement this week indicated how sensitive investors are to any sign of a wobble from the company.
Despite Hastings' claim that Netflix has a tried and trusted formula, some things have been changing. Investors – and Netflix's management – are aware that Disney and Fox – and potentially other suppliers – will increasingly retain the rights to their own content for their own direct-to-consumer initiatives, meaning that Netflix will become more and more dependent on its own originals rather than licensed shows. That means it needs to keep up and even increase its already massive investment in original content. Uncertainty about the future impact of competition from studios – and unknowns such as whether Apple can and will break into content or whether Amazon's growth trajectory, based on a broader and more sustainable business model, will accelerate – are probably also beginning to weigh on investors minds more than before.
Netflix's original content mix is meanwhile changing to reflect its need to attract new categories of subscribers that have not yet been tempted by a line-up of high-end, predominantly US drama. Although the streamer has shied away from the path followed by Amazon into live sports and channels, it is branching out more into unscripted content, original movies and also into commissioning more local content from non-English-language markets, a trend observed this week by analyst group IHS Markit.
The growing emphasis on international content reflects the predominance of international subscriptions in fuelling the company's growth.
On the Q2 earnings call, Netflix chief product officer Greg Peters highlighted the growing importance of Asia and in particular of India, where he said the SVOD outfit was "getting some nice momentum" with series such as Sacred Games and the forthcoming Ghoul.
Doing deals with cable and telecom operators is also a key strategic focus, bringing Netflix into a big-screen environment where consumers are used to paying monthly subscriptions for a multi-play bundle of which content is a part. An increase in cord-cutting is no longer in Netflix's interest as it becomes more reliant on distribution via third-party set-top boxes, and becomes more like a pay TV partner rather than a disruptor in the pay TV market. Increasingly, the groups that regard Netflix as a competitor rather than a partner are the studios, such as Disney, and free-to-air broadcasters.

Paul Felix (1913–1981) constructed a remarkable campus in a brutalist language on the site of the Destelheide training centre: a monolith in precast concrete. His composition forms a stark contrast with the rural surroundings, a beautiful south-facing hillside overlooking the Brabant landscape. In this design for a storage facility with carport, the familiar protagonists once again take centre stage: brutalist concrete and a verdant topography. Dividing the programme into a warehouse and a carport enabled the creation of a balcony with panoramic views across the valley. Both sides are built in large stackable concrete blocks that also serve as retaining walls. A rhythm of deep and shallow bricks tapers upwards. Thanks to the relief, there are endless shifts in the graphic register. Within the two U-shapes, a light wooden infill completes the building figures.

Tips All Car Owners Should Know
Whether you have owned your car for a while or you are a new car owner looking for tips, taking good care of your car can help keep it functioning reliably for years. It is important to pay attention to your car and know basic maintenance needs to keep it in the best shape. Here are some of the basics that you should know if you own a car.
Where you park your car is going to play a role in how well it keeps in shape. Finding a good place to keep it when it is not in use can protect it from theft and the environment. Maybe that is an enclosed garage or finding a parking space for rent in London where you can keep it safe. No matter what your situation is, where you keep your car is going to make all the difference.
Oil Changes
It is important to pay close attention to when the oil needs changed. Engines need the proper amount of oil to function well and keep all the moving parts lubricated. Not having enough oil can cause major wear and tear to your engines. If the oil is old or there is not enough, then you are going to see major problems start to happen. It is important to make sure that you are taking your car in to have the oil changed when it needs it. Learning to check the oil levels on your own can help you monitor the situation to make sure you are taking it in when it needs it.
Cleaning the Car
It is also important to make sure that your car is kept clean. Especially during the winter when there is salt on the road, you should get your car washed regularly to ensure that the salt doesn't eat away at the paint of your car. Leaving your car unprotected can lead to rust setting in. This applies to other times of the year when the elements can start to build up in your car.
You should also make sure that you pay close attention to recalls issued by the manufacturer. This will let you know if there is a problem with the car that needs attention. Ignoring these notices can result in serious problems with your car and can even put your life in danger.
Regular Maintenance
There are so many moving parts in a car, it is important to make sure that you are taking it in for regular maintenance to make sure there isn't a problem that is going to get worse. Maintenance checks will make sure that there is not sludge building up in the engine and cause problems. It is also a great time to check belts for cracks and replace them before they snap. You can also have filters replaced that will help your car work more efficiently and will help the air you are breathing be better as well. Taking preemptive measures will save you from car trouble that interrupts your busy life.

Fighting for the future of our businesses and visitors
Given that Puerto Banus is a place of public interest, a luxury tourist destination … more than just a business, it is the soul of tourism on the Costa del Sol and Marbella especially, in AcoBanús we work to improve and promote all businesses and the image of Puerto Banus and Marbella.
We work on the proper illumination of Puerto Banus, which enhances the image and the decoration of the Port, such as indirect lights towards palm trees, facades… etc.
We work to strengthen and improve the presence of security in terms of work and number of officials, for better control of the security, itinerant trade, activity of street prostitution, theft… etc.
We demand a commitment to enhance the image of the port and its commercial area throughout the year, especially in winter, for example, by an appropriate decoration during Christmas time.
We would like to give thanks to Benabola resort which, as seen in the picture, has prepared fitting and secure lighting, illuminating the street in second line of the Port.
We thank the various owners who are working to improve the image and the paintwork in different areas of the Port.
To sum up, apart from being a port for recreational craft, Puerto Banús should be a place of leisure, an upscale shopping center with the most prestigious luxury brands and international prestige, as well as local firms, a gastronomic center with a variety of the finest cuisine from different continents where you can have a drink in the different environments of the port, making this an unforgettable trip or visit for our tourists.
One person cannot do it, but between all of us, we are hundreds, thousands of people that can make it possible, we are already working for a better future for all and we would appreciate your efforts and suggestions.

These cauliflower steaks with spicy cilantro cashew cream are a perfect veggie-heavy side or vegan main dish, drizzled with a creamy jalapeño and cilantro sauce made from cashews. The presentation is a great way to get people excited about veggie dishes! Double up on the recipe and bring it to your next potluck, and you'll find your friends drizzling this spicy cilantro cashew cream all over their whole plate.
Cauliflower Steaks with Cilantro Cream
Serves 2–4
1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews
1 large head of cauliflower
Scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2-inch piece jalapeño
2 garlic cloves
1 packed cup cilantro leaves
1/2 cup hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
For serving: jalapeño slices, lemon wedges
A few hours ahead of time, cover cashews in hot water and set aside on the counter to soften. Alternatively, cover the cashews in cold water and place in the fridge overnight to soften.
When ready to proceed, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Set the cauliflower with its base on the counter after slicing off the leaves, and slice the cauliflower into 1-inch steaks. It's okay if it falls apart a bit — you should get 2–4 full steaks.
Lightly oil a baking sheet, or use parchment paper or a silpat baking mat, and place cauliflower steaks and extra cauliflower onto the sheet. Sprinkle salt and pepper overtop.
Bake cauliflower steaks for 25 minutes, until browned but not overly soft.
Drain the cashews. In a food processor or high quality blender, combine soaked cashews, jalapeño (seeded if desired), garlic, cilantro, hot water and salt.
Top the cauliflower steaks with 1/2 of the spicy cilantro cashew cream. Serve as a main or a side with extra sauce, jalapeño slices, and lemon wedges to squeeze overtop.

Can You Ride In The Back Of A Truck?
Hitching a ride on open beds of pickup trucks is pretty common if you grew up outside of the cities and suburbs. In the stretched outbacks, sometimes there is no alternative to carrying passengers other than walking. However, you might wonder, can you ride in the back of a truck in other cities and states?
Depending on what state you are in, the answer can range from "Sure, why not?" to "Never!" The problem is that the back of a pickup is designed for carrying cargo, not passengers. The ride would be very rough back there even with moderate vehicle movement.
Therefore, to make sure you are not breaking any law, find out can you ride in the back of a truck legally with this guide. For more useful and interesting facts, consult out comprehensive library of driving tips that any car owner must know.
Can You Ride In The Back Of A Truck?
In general, while it is technically legal in certain situations to ride in the back of your pickup truck, it is not advisable to do so. Since this type of vehicle is not designed to carry passengers, there's just too much danger involved riding back there with no safety measures.
Hundreds of passengers die every year from riding in the bed of a pickup. As noted, passengers will be subject to a lot of shock even from minor imperfections on the road surface, while they have no seat belts and nothing else on board to secure their positions.
- Types Of Pickup Trucks You Should Know
- Eye-Opening Truck Driving Tips That Will Save Lives
- How To Install Air Horn To Your Truck – The Ultimate Guide
In accidents involving a pickup truck, the forces are powerful enough to rip apart, dislocate, and in worse case scenarios, decapitate a full grown adult. It is common for the passengers in the back to be sent flying into the air like a rag doll, then crashing down onto the ground.
Even without an accident, the occasional jolt when a pickup truck suddenly comes to a stop, takes a sharp turn without warning, or hits a bump is enough to send mindless passengers flying into the air.
Is Riding In The Back Of A Truck Legal?
In the cases that you are left with little to no choice other than walking, knowing the answer to "Can you ride in the back of a truck?" in the state you're in might come in handy.
No matter which country you are in, you will have to check for the certain state or city you're visiting to be sure. For instance, in the United States, riding in the back of a truck is legal in certain states, mostly in rural areas. Meanwhile, the other states place age restriction on this to protect children and teenagers.
Legal in Some States
Twenty states have no laws prohibiting riders in the back of pickup trucks. Not surprisingly, the majority of these states are rural areas where pickup trucks are needed for work purposes:
- Alabama,
- Alaska,
- Arizona,
- Delaware,
- Idaho,
- Illinois,
- Indiana,
- Iowa,
- Kentucky,
- Minnesota,
- Mississippi,
- Montana,
- New Hampshire,
- North Dakota,
- Oklahoma,
- South Dakota,
- Vermont,
- Washington,
- West Virginia,
- Wyoming.
States with Restrictions
Except for Colorado, which allows back riding as long as the riders are seated and the area is enclosed on all four sides, the remaining states restrict this based on age for the protection of children and teenagers.
The following states allow back riders older than age 18:
- Florida,
- Georgia,
- Maine (older than age 19),
- Michigan,
- Missouri,
- Nebraska,
- Nevada,
- New Mexico,
- Oregon,
- Pennsylvania,
- Texas.
These states set age 16 as the cutoff point:
- Connecticut,
- Maryland,
- North Carolina,
- Ohio,
- Rhode Island,
- Virginia.
States with lower age limits:
- Kansas (14),
- Louisiana (12),
- Massachusetts (12),
- South Carolina (15),
- Tennessee (12).
These states prohibit back riding unless specific conditions are present:
- Wisconsin: allowed if work-related,
- Hawaii: if there is no room in the passenger compartment
- New York: limited by length of trip and age of passengers.
These states prohibit any back riding:
- Arkansas,
- District of Columbia,
- New Jersey,
- Utah,
What About Dogs Riding In The Back Of A Pickup Truck?
A quick study conducted by American Humane reports that over 100,000 dogs die every year due to accidents resulting from riding in pickup truck beds. While it can be dangerous for pets to ride in the back of pickup trucks, state laws are also divided about applying restrictions.
They share the same threats as humans, such as ejection from the truck's bed and carbon monoxide poisoning. Additionally, they don't recognize the dangers involved and can get spooked and jump out when they see something.
Putting on a leash doesn't help. Therefore, the rule of thumb is if you have no other option than to let your best friend ride in the back of your hauler, secure them in a commercial pet crate designed for this purpose.

Coda 2.5 is essentially complete. But, we're still encountering sandboxing challenges. So, in the interest of finally getting Coda 2.5 out the door and in the hands of you, our very eager and patient customers, we've decided it's time to move on—for now.
In short: Coda 2.5 will not be sandboxed, and therefore will not be available in the Mac App Store.
Sad that it had to come to this, but if you have a longtime, Apple-centric developer like Panic not able to make the Mac App Store work, how will you get others? I'm not the only one slightly concerned by this. On the other hand, good for Panic for making their product better and also looking to make the process as customer-friendly as possible. They even rolled out their own answer to the lack of iCloud support:
Panic Sync will work between Panic apps—Coda and Diet Coda to start. And Panic Sync is free. In short, we'll trade you iCloud for something great.

NFL vs NCAA positional comparison: Nordic and CMJ results
How do National Football League (NFL) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes compare when it comes to performance on the Nordic and countermovement jump (CMJ) tests? Tests were conducted on the NordBord and ForceDecks VALD testing systems, respectively.
Data from the recent 2020-21 American football season suggests that college athletes playing in the defensive back (DB), running back (RB) and tight end (TE) positions perform as well as – if not better than – their professional counterparts when it comes to examining common Nordic and CMJ metrics.
Despite potential differences in training age and playing experience, NCAA football athletes appear to be on par with NFL athletes from a physical performance perspective.

An Elongated Concrete House Sits Along The Chilean Coastline
A lot of contemporary residence situated in remote areas are designed to be in perfect sync with their surroundings and to blend in as best as possible, featuring geometries that mimic the landscape around them and textures and colors that connect them to the topography of the site. That's not the case with the H House. This is a concrete house designed and built by Felipe Assadi Arquitectos and located on a sloped site in Zapallar, Chile. It has a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean and its design is very…geometric and defined by clean, straight lines and sharp angles. That, however, doesn't mean it's not a dream home, especially with all the cool features like the cantilevered pool or the gorgeous interior.
This extraordinary house has a very well-defined structure with large longitudinal and transversal beams which allow both ends to extend seven meters past the main structure, forming covered terraces with gorgeous views. Another interesting characteristic related to the design and the architecture of the H House is the fact that it doesn't follow the topography and doesn't mold onto the slope but instead looks as if it;s floating above the slope, as if it's made out of a single piece of concrete and was placed there by a giant creature. The interior design is in tone with the exterior, being simple and limited to only a few colors and materials. However, the spaces are warm and welcoming thanks to features such as the two-sided fireplace in the living area or the wood flooring.

Track star Burr thrives off confidence others give her
In a sport where the individual is glorified, modesty and humility is a rarity. In track and field, one may recall the tantalizing exploits of Usain "Lightning" Bolt and not even remember the nation he races for.
For UVU sprinter and hurdler Megan Brown-Burr, her track teammates are what make the sport worthwhile.
"I want to be there for my teammates and I know they will be there for me in return," Burr said. "They will be there through the injuries and any other obstacles. My track team is my other family."
Growing up as a soccer star in Las Vegas, Burr used track as a means to stay in shape during the offseason. However, once schools began calling for her services as a sprinter, her decision to forgo soccer became an easy one. Simply put, her track coaches believed that she could be great. Burr credited such support for giving her confidence, and said it has only proven more valuable since transitioning to the college level.
"That's 99 percent of it," Burr said, referring to her support system. "Obviously as an athlete I need to have a determination and the willpower to get to where I want to be, but I have my family, my friends, my coaches and my husband. People genuinely care and that is so important. You can dominate, but without a support system what do you have?"
The people close to Megan have plenty of reason to care. Recently Burr ran for a school record of 8.80 seconds in the preliminaries of the 60-meter hurdles. She also placed first in the 60 and 200-meter sprints as well as the 60-meter hurdles the week before.
The scary part for UVU's Great West Conference foes as well as the rest of the nation, though, is that Burr is far from her personal goals.
"If I put it in my mind to do something I am going to do it," Burr said. "I won't limit myself. If anything I will shoot for goals that for some people would say are unobtainable, but then I would know that I am not selling myself short."
Burr knew upon coming to UVU that head coach Scott Houle would be there to help her set and achieve her goals, and cited this as a big reason for her committal to play for the Wolverines. Houle knows the level of athlete Burr is, but looks for ways to motivate her beyond the realms of NCAA competition.
"We think she has opportunities to go to the next level, to be a little bit better than the collegiate level," Houle said. "We put that in front of her and she steps up her practice, her weight lifting, and now she races against some of the top athletes in the country and even the world. She is approaching that level now. "
Even as the expectations and accolades mount, Burr continues to credit her support system for her success. Coach Houle knows it takes a special athlete to accomplish these feats.
"Her best event is the 100-meter hurdles," Houle said. "There are ten obstacles in the way but when she does it, seems as if there is nothing in her way because she is so technically sound. She is that kind of athlete."

With more than 370 birds recorded, Niassa Special Reserve offers excellent bird watching. The reserve is a great place to see miombo woodland specials such as the racket-tailed roller and pale-billed hornbill. Riverine forest fringing the Lugenda River is a good place to look for Pel's fishing-owl and Böhm's bee-eater, and African skimmers can be seen flying over the river. The big granite domes support species such as Verreaux's eagle, lanner falcon and the rare Taita falcon. The sought-after Africa pitta can be spotted in November.

Nov to Apr
Best Time for Bird Watching
The birdlife in Niassa is good year-round. However, the Wet season (November to April) is the best time for bird watching as migratory birds are present. Because road conditions could be bad in the park during the rains, November is the ideal month for birders. For general wildlife viewing, the middle and end of the Dry season, from July to October, is better.
