Holy Jumpman!
Three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin has joined NBA Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan to form a NASCAR team with Bubba Wallace as the driver. Marking a high-profile pairing of a Black majority team owner and the only Black driver at NASCAR's top level.
Colossal for the history of NASCAR, a positive direction of the sport, and the growth in diverse fans the sport needs.
"We proudly welcome Michael Jordan into the NASCAR family and look forward to watching Michael, Denny Hamlin, and Bubba Wallace compete in 2021," NASCAR shared in a statement. "Michael is an iconic sports figure, and celebrated champion whose fiercely competitive nature has placed him among the greatest athletes of all time. His presence at NASCAR's top level will further strengthen the competition, excitement, and momentum growing around our sport. We wish Michael and his team tremendous success."
NASCAR finally has a business model for people who want to be here and bring more eyes to watching the sport.
Jordan is not here for the chips and the dip. You can guarantee he will be tuned in, not an owner who will be sitting on the couch.
"I'm excited, I'm nervous even though I am not getting in the car," Jordan told FOX Sports before the 2021 Daytona 500.
Jordan becomes the first Black principal owner of a full-time Cup team since Hall of Famer Wendell Scott drove his own race car in 495 races from 1961 to 1973. Scott's 1964 victory at the Jacksonville 200 is the only win by a Black driver in Cup history.
"I grew up in NASCAR. My father used to pack the entire family in; we would travel to Darlington, Rockingham, Charlotte, come down to Daytona, Talladega, then we would spend the entire day at the track," Jordan said. "From that point on, I have been hooked on NASCAR. As an owner, if I am not there physically, you can believe I am there mentally."
The greatest basketball player of all time earlier this year pledged $100 million over ten years for initiatives combating systemic racism, believed the move into NASCAR is another step toward racial equality.
Jordan joins former NBA player Brad Daugherty, a partner at JTG Daugherty Racing, as the only Black owners at NASCAR's elite Cup level.
"I have thought about being an owner so many different times because I have never seen a black owner or someone of color who owned their team," Jordan said. "Moreover, dictate what happens with their team. We have not been dominant in this sport, but the opportunity has never been presented."
Wallace is the only Black driver in the Cup Series, and this season he has used his platform to push for racial equality. The 27-year-old successfully urged NASCAR to ban the display of the Confederate flag at its events.
Confederate flag will be prohibited from all NASCAR events and properties
"There is so much backlash about this flag from a minority group we are trying to attract; they are not going to be a part of this until it is gone," Wallace shared. "Let's make a stance; let's put our foot down right now. We are opening the door for a whole new family to come in and enjoy our sport."
Wallace is winless in 105 Cup starts over four seasons, but he has six career victories in the Truck series. While driving the No. 43 for Hall of Famer Richard Petty, and until this summer, the team struggled to land a sponsorship.
The beat went on as Wallace took his talents to "23XI – pronounced twenty-three eleven – Racing."
Hamlin, a top contender for this year's Cup title, will be part of a single-car Toyota entry aligned with Joe Gibbs Racing. Hamlin has raced his entire career for Gibbs, a Hall of Fame NFL coach.
"Our team needs to get better," Hamlin said. "I want to see from the start of the season to the end of the season that the arrow is going in the right direction."
NASCAR rules prohibit a current driver from owning a team and driving for another, but Hamlin can work around that policy with Jordan as the principal owner.
"It is a different type of nervous; when I am on the court, I can go rebound, I can go shoot, I can play defense," Jordan said. "In NASCAR all I can do is cheer."
Wallace, who has mended together roughly $18 million in sponsorship deals since he made racial equality his platform. Moreover Jordan and Hamlin purchased a private charter for their team from Germain Racing that guarantees Wallace a spot in the 40-car field every week.
"He is going to learn how to win; he has the talent; we would not have invested in him and picked him if he did not have the talent to win," Jordan said. "By the end of the year, I think he is going to have an opportunity and possibly win a couple of races. If more, I will be elated."
In 2018, Wallace finished second at the Daytona 500; keep in mind Hamlin will still be competing if he and Wallace are neck and neck for a win, it will be physical, and M.J. wins either way.
Bubba is worthy of this opportunity; he has won in the trucks; in 2020, he hit his stride consistently, running in the top 15; he has a better car this year and better support.
Hamlin is a calculated owner as well. He saw the opportunity to start a team that he is proud of; he has equipment from Joe Gibbs Racing and considers himself a driver – coach.
Hamlin knows all that he studies, the data he looks at, all the things he does to go out and be the best race car driver he can be, and will show all that to Bubba to be more successful. It is not a conflict of interest to be an owner of a race team and driving for another race team they are competing with. It has happened in the sport.
Hamlin has a good plan in place. He has a 2022 "Next Gen" car coming that will standardize the sport. Owners feel that will make their business model look good as well. Denny will handle this and pay attention to what is happening in Joe Gibbs Racing; he will put his head all in when he is a driver but then use his knowledge and ability to manage to help Bubba and the 23XI Racing.

Attempt at creation of an NQF
This is a record of the state of qualifications development in England in 2009. This approach has now been superseded by the QCF, but it it is worth keeping a record of this approach as National Qualifications Frameworks are being developed in other countries and there may be considerable interest the failure of this approach in England.
In 2009 certain types of qualifications were being framed within a National Qualifications Framework with 8 levels. GCSEs are located at levels 1 and 2 and A Levels at level 3. An NVQ 2 is located at level 2 in the NQF. Each accredited qualification has an NQF level. If qualifications share the same level this means that they are broadly similar in terms of the demand they place on the learner. However, qualifications at the same level can still be very different in terms of content and duration.
The National Qualifications Framework (NQF) sets out the levels at which qualifications are recognised. It helps learners make informed decisions on the qualifications they want to pursue, by comparing the levels of different qualifications and identifying clear progression routes to their chosen career. It aims to:
- promote access, motivation and achievement in education and training, strengthening international competitiveness
- promote lifelong learning by helping people to understand clear progression routes
- avoid duplication and overlap of qualifications while making sure all learning needs are covered
- promote public and professional confidence in the integrity and relevance of national awards.

Event Details
Safer at Home is an online exhibition of objects from the ONE Archives Collection at the USC Libraries organized by its curator, Alexis Bard Johnson. Safer at Home is an invitation to examine the many facets of home as well as what safety means and looks like for LGBTQ populations—both past and present. The selected items resonate with and reflect on the idea of "safer at home." They act as a mirror—bringing the past into the present and offering perspective on what is happening today. They highlight people, events, and activities that offer inspiration, comfort, or even challenge to us in the present.
Language Matters
This project is a direct response to our current global crises—both the pandemic and protests against police brutality and for Black lives. In the past weeks, the stream of news has been constant and overwhelming. Throughout the articles, posts, Instagram feeds, and livestreams, the language used to describe the present moment and circumscribe behavior has been striking. It started with response to the pandemic. First, we had a "lockdown", but that feels punitive and scary. Lockdown was soon replaced with "shelter-in-place," which, while more accurate and still used, conjures natural disasters. Finally, the more uplifting "safer at home" became the standard phrase used by government officials to require people to remain at home except for essential tasks or work. This phrase is particularly intriguing because it is meant to communicate the behavior necessary to combat the global pandemic but also calls to mind times when being at home is not the safest choice. In light of recent protests, the phrase also draws attention to the stark privilege of the term-- Who's safety? Who's home? Safety as defined by whom?
While the exhibition began as a way to reflect on the ordinance issued in response to the coronavirus pandemic, it now applies equally to the protests in response to police brutality. They are, of course, inseparable. Covid-19 is disproportionately affecting marginalized individuals. Police are killing black and brown and trans individuals. The exhibition will continue to probe what "safer at home" means in a world shaped by structural racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia. Using archival material as a lens, this project will pose questions and challenge ideas about space, place, and activity in relationship to safety and freedom.
My weekly selections and additional uploaded images will interrogate these relationships to home and think about the everyday, the domestic, and illness. What is home? How do we make home? How do we exist at home? How is the home stifling? Constraining? Creative? Interactive? How do we have fun at home or mourn from home? How do we craft and care for our safer-at-home selves? What do we hold onto, what do we create anew, and what do we let go of? How do we create and fight for safety? And how do we deal with the fact that safety is relative? Who and how people are safe are governed by systems of oppression deeply rooted in this society.
Why Now?
This watershed moment calls for all of us to take risks and re-think how things are done. Exhibitions take an enormous amount of work and research behind the scenes before they go on view to the public. This is an effort to pull back the curtain and show this process. Essentially, this exhibition will develop week by week, in public view. This degree of transparency is daunting but appropriate as a metaphor for the more open and less judgmental space we would like to see in a new "normal.". As the collection grows and I add more content, I will group and rearrange the entries to suggest themes and through-lines in the material.
Visual culture acts as a lens to examine historical moments as well as the present. Images are deeply rooted in their own particular time, but, as objects, they exist and make meaning in the present. It is the hope that this collection of images serves as a connection to a previous history and as a tool to help us better understand and parse the present moment. As an art historian, this is what I can offer to help us navigate our way through the tangle of thoughts and feelings we are experiencing.

Columbia, S.C. - Today, Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette joined Attorney General Alan Wilson at the South Carolina State House to announce a historic settlement between the Trump Administration and the State of South Carolina on the removal of 9.5 metric tons of plutonium from the state. This settlement is the conclusion of years of litigation, which began during the Obama Administration and a directive from Congress from nearly two decades ago.
Through this unique settlement, the American taxpayers will save $1.5 billion and the people of South Carolina will receive a financially backed commitment from the Administration to remove the material from the state, with a payment of $600 million up front. This settlement agreement is a model for how states and the Federal government can work together to produce mutually beneficial outcomes to protect the interests of the states and promote national security.
"The Trump Administration is committed to tackling our nation's toughest challenges where previous Administrations have failed, including the removal and disposal of Cold War era plutonium from the State of South Carolina," said Secretary Brouillette. "Today's announcement is a promise to the people of South Carolina that plutonium will be removed safely from this state, while saving the American taxpayers over $1 billion. I thank Attorney General Wilson, Governor McMaster, and other South Carolina leaders who have been strong partners with DOE to get us to this day. This historic agreement could not have been possible without the leadership and support of President Trump and Attorney General Barr. This is a good day for South Carolina."
- After the Cold War and as part of its national security mission, DOE was challenged with finding a safe, secure method to dispose of large amounts of weapons-grade nuclear material, including weapons grade plutonium. DOE determined that the best option would be to irradiate the material at a mixed oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication facility at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina.
- As part of the 2002 legislation on the MOX facility, Congress required that in the event the MOX facility failed to achieve its production goals, DOE would be required to remove the plutonium shipped to South Carolina for processing.
- In addition, the statute provided that if the MOX production was not met and the material was not removed by a certain deadline, then DOE would be required to remit economic and impact assistance payments to South Carolina in the amount of $1 million per day for each day that certain milestones went unmet, up to a maximum of $100 million per year.
- In 2018, former-Secretary Perry exercised his right under the statute to terminate the construction of the MOX facility because the inherited project was approximately $13 billion over budget and 32 years behind schedule.
- Currently, 9.5 metric tons of plutonium brought into the state for the MOX facility remain in South Carolina. The next statutory deadline for removal is January 1, 2022, after which DOE would be required to pay $1 million a day, up to a maximum $100 million a year until all the plutonium is removed.
- DOE is committed to removing the plutonium from South Carolina and will continuously work to find the most effective, efficient, and safest way to do so. DOE is currently pursuing removal through the "Dilute and Dispose" process – a process that is proven safe and effective, but is time intensive, guaranteeing that DOE will miss the January 1, 2022 deadline.
- The current timeline projects the 9.5 metric tons will be completely removed by 2049, which means that without the settlement agreement, DOE would be subject to economic and impact assistance payments of more than $2 billion.
- The settlement reached today will allow South Carolina to realize upfront a lump sum of economic and impact assistance payments ($600 million), but will also allow DOE more time (through 2037) to safely remove the plutonium from the state without the threat of lawsuits.
Details of the Settlement Agreement
- Upfront payment of $600 million to the State of South Carolina.
- South Carolina will waive its right to bring any lawsuit against DOE for the removal of the plutonium, and DOE will be relieved of paying statutorily required payments, until 2037.
- In 2037, DOE will pay a percentage of the accrued statutory payments from the years 2022-2037 based on how much plutonium is left in the state.
- After 2037, DOE will pay a percentage of the statutorily required $100 million a year based on how much plutonium is left in the state.

– Touria A. | Chino Hills, CA
These guys were great, came the next day and fixed my Tesla Model 3 bumper for a 1/6th of what was asked by body shops for total swapping of the front bumper. Came to my house, did it in three hours. No hassle.
– Paul B. | Corona, CA
I ran over a curb and scuffed up my back bumper pretty badly! Ryan came out and was able to fix it up and make it look like it never happened. He was on time, very professional, explained the process to me, and even offered to install a part on my car that I cracked for free once I purchased it from a dealership. Overall, I had a really good experience with Bumper Buddies and would definitely use their service again and recommend them to others!
– Cindy F. | Fontana, CA
I almost got my entire bumper replaced (at the advice of another shop I found on yelp) which they told me would take 3 days and set me back almost $1k. Luckily I came across Bumper Buddies. They booked me an appointment for the next day and Gage drove out to my place and fixed my bumper in 2 HOURS for $425. I cannot recommend them enough. 5 stars!
– Casey J. | Eastvale, CA
I got a very fast response to my estimate request from Gage and a quick, convenient appointment. Alex did a fabulous job on my car. I had gotten an estimate from an auto body business first. I saved about $1500.00 using Bumper Buddies. 100% recommend.

– Hazel K. | Ontario, CA
I needed my bumper fixed right away and I didn't have a big budget so my friend told me to call Bumper Buddies and I'm glad I did. Ralph, the owner was understanding of my situation and worked with me to get it done the right way and at a reasonable price that same day. Great customer service guys thank you!
– James S. | Moreno Valley, CA
Scheduled repair for 9am and Alex was there on time. Fixed the scratches and paint peeling in my carport. He did an excellent job. Would I use them again? Of course! Good service at a reasonable price. Thank you Alex!

🥕 You may be aware that Marie Sharp's original recipes started with a fresh carrot base, one of the perfect delivery mechanisms for heat in the vegetable kingdom.
Ms. Marie had been successfully making several different sauces from carrot for more than twenty years when one day, the general manager from the Citrus Company of Belize approached with a problem. He asked Marie if she could use their waste product from citrus juice production, the orange and grapefruit pulp, because the expense of disposal was high, and it seemed wasteful to him.
Marie was aware that her Japanese customers enjoyed an unusual sauce called "Yuzu kosho" (also called Yuzu gosho) is a type of condiment that is made by seasoning a paste of chili and yuzu peel with salt and then matured. It is regarded as a specialty of Oita Prefecture and is known as a common seasoning in the northern part of Kyushu.
One of the most popular citrus fruits in Japan, yuzu is about the size of a tangerine with a sour flavor, refreshing aroma and high acidity. Unlike other citrus fruits, which tend to grow best in warm coastal areas, yuzu thrive in colder, more mountainous regions.
The manager from the Citrus Company was delighted when Marie agreed to test the pulp and determine the suitability as an ingredient or base of a product.
Marie set out to up cycle this nutritious waste product and turn it into a delicious sauce, and the result led to the creation of two of her most unique and refreshing sauces, the Orange Pulp and Grapefruit Pulp Habanero Pepper sauces.
These sauces are especially popular in sushi and seafood restaurants where citrus flavors reign supreme.
Marie's sauces are revered for their balanced, clean habanero fruit bouquet, gorgeous velvety texture, and exquisite taste.
For drink recipes, the Orange & Grapefruit Pulp sauces are particularly well suited, with bright, citrus forward flavors that incorporate especially well with everything from craft cocktails to your favorite Margarita, Michelada or Sangrita!
Marie Sharp's sauces are called "Pepper Sauces" revealing the focus on the fruit versus vinegar. They are non-fermented: lacking the astringency and acidity typically found in common vinegar-based hot sauces.

Sugar Shacks: Paradise for Sugar Bugs!
April 5, 2017 - By Nautilus Plus
3 minutes
Let's face it: we're proud of our maple syrup! And with good reason![i] Going on a sugar shack tour during spring thaw to sample the year's yield is an authentic Quebec tradition. You were planning on giving up this tradition to avoid excesses? DON'T, quite the opposite. This year, let's take a look at how to approach this annual must-attend rendezvous.
Taffy on Snow
I like the idea of enjoying a stick of maple taffy first thing when you get there. This small-sized treat will calm your sweet tooth right away. I also like that it's almost frozen, which forces you to slow down and savour it.
Appreciate the vast array of subtle flavours hidden in maple syrup, such as hints of caramel, brown sugar, honeycomb toffee, butter, or even French toast. Several factors will affect the taste, including the maturity of the maple tree, amount of sunshine, weather conditions over the winter, and the type of tap holes used.[ii] Maple producers could go on and on telling you about the different aspects of their passion!
Meal time
Buffet-type meals are actually a good option, as you have control over what you put in your plate, but beware of the pernicious effect of variety! When faced with so many options to choose from, we tend to want a piece of everything. All I can say is, why not? A little bit of everything is also not too much of anything, as long as you adjust servings accordingly. Eat slowly, and just stop eating before you feel stuffed. Follow the guidelines in this chart:
Maple syrup all year long!
If you can, buy a bunch of maple syrup cans to build your own personal stack for the year. This way, you'll have some handy for any occasion at home, and you'll get to eat some of it whenever you feel like it, as no food is prohibited. This is the best long-term approach to eating healthy. Chances are that next year, you won't feel anxious when sugar shack season comes around!
No need to Google the number of calories in a typical sugar shack meal. The only calorie indicator you should follow is your body's feedback mechanism, i.e., hunger and satiety signals; it will tell you exactly when to stop eating. Food is not only about nutritional value.
Enjoy your sugar shack season!

Working Women in Japan
By Eiko Shinotsuka, Japan II: The Early Working Years
The status of the Japanese woman has changed markedly during the years since the end of World War II. Before the war, the Japanese woman was firmly entrenched in a patriarchal system, taught to obey first her father, then her husband, and later her sons. The few women who worked outside the home in the prewar period worked almost exclusively as teachers or nurses, or in other professions considered appropriate for women.
Under the Allied Occupation in the years following the war, the status of women in Japan, at least on the surface, changed dramatically. As part of the new "postwar democracy," the ideal of the equality of the sexes was introduced to Japan and written into the new Constitution in the form of the rights to vote, to receive an education, and to receive equal opportunity employment. This new democracy, however, was imported rather than brought about by an indigenous movement, and the new rights for women were not demanded and won by the recipients themselves but bestowed from above. Largely for these reasons, the concept of sexual equality has not become fully rooted in Japanese society.
This is not to say that all Japanese women are still shackled by the fetters of the prewar family system. For example, in terms of the labor force participation rate for women, the ratio of women working to the total female population 15 years of age and over in Japan in the mid 1980s was comparable to that of other industrialized nations. The factors responsible for the increase in the female work force in Japan are the same as in the other major industrialized nations: an increase in the number of job opportunities for women as a result of urbanization and the growth of the service industries; the fact that women are attaining higher levels of education; a decrease in the number of years occupied by child rearing due to the lower birthrate; a decrease in the time necessary for housework as a result of the development of time-saving household appliances; and a desire for economic affluence, particularly strong in Japan after the relative poverty of the prewar period.
In spite of the increase of women in the labor force, however, a number of obstacles remain to be overcome before Japanese women can be said to have full and equal access to all or even most of the opportunities that exist in the Japanese job market. A look at some of the particularities of working women in Japan may help illuminate those obstacles. Over the more than 40 years since the end of World War II, married women have come to predominate in the female work force. Although this is partly because fewer Japanese women are leaving the work force when they marry and have children than formerly, the bulk of married working women still consists of part-time workers and women who have returned to work after raising a family.
In the late 1980s, nearly one-fourth of working women in Japan are part-time workers. Most of these women work in service industries, such as wholesale, retail, and food service, and in manufacturing industries. Only a very small percentage of part-time working women are involved in specialist. technical, managerial, or other highly skilled areas.
The Japanese woman returning to the work force is similarly restricted: when a Japanese woman possessing a high level of education and several years of employment experience attempts to return to work after raising her children, only relatively unskilled part-time jobs paying the minimum wage are available to her. This situation is rooted in traditional Japanese employment practices — the lifetime employment system, wages based on seniority, and company-based labor unions — which make it difficult for experienced workers to find jobs and effectively shut out these older mothers. Thus, although more married women are working than ever before in Japan, they are confined to limited types of jobs.
Further complicating the status of working women in Japan is the Japanese Equal Employment Opportunity Law, which went into effect in April 1986. In contrast to the seventh chapter of the U.S. Civil Rights Act, which was enacted as a result of strong demands from the American population, the Japanese law was, like the postwar Constitution, bestowed from above. Moreover, the Japanese law was largely intended to keep up appearances: it was enacted to ensure that Japan's laws would conform to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, which was one product of the United Nations Decade for Women (1976-85). Japanese corporations were strongly opposed to the new Equal Employment Opportunity Law on the grounds that a Western concept such as this would not work in Japanese society and that Japanese traditions would be threatened by it. Even some women opposed the new law, fearing that it would mean the loss of certain protective measures found in the Labor Standards Law, including limitations on overtime, late-night, and holiday work performed by women, as well as provision for menstrual leave. In fact, the enactment of the law did not mean the automatic abolishment of these measures. Although there has been talk of abolishing them, no concrete action has been taken by the late 1980's, except in a very few job categories. Childbirth leave, in particular is in no danger of being reduced or abolished. Rather, the new law specifies that a woman cannot be dismissed for taking the 14 weeks of optional childbirth leave (6 weeks before the birth and 8 after) provided for in the Labor Standards Law.
As a result of opposition from both female labor and management, the original intent of the Equal Employment Opportunity Law was weakened considerably during the process leading up to the government's draft, which was prepared by the Ministry of Labor, and once the law was enacted its enforceability was in serious doubt. One specific defect in the law is that it has two contradictory provisions regarding an employer's treatment of a prospective or current employee. One provision, which covers topics such as vocational training, fringe benefits, retirement age, and dismissal, states that sexual discrimination is prohibited. Another provision, which relates to the four pillars of traditional Japanese mate supremacy in the work place recruiting, hiring, job assignment, and promotion-encourages employers to give women equal opportunity but contains no clause concerning violations, effectively counteracting the intent of the first. In an effort to placate corporate opposition to the law, the latter provision merely requires companies to "make efforts" not to discriminate on the basis of sex.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Law has thus been criticized as existing in form only, not in content. Furthermore, the committee set up under the law to oversee its application, unlike its U.S. counterpart, has little authority. Since it may only act as an arbitrator, it has not made much of an impact in the three years of its existence, raising doubts about the enforceability of the Equal Employment Opportunity Law.
Although the Equal Employment Opportunity Law is unsatisfactory in the ways mentioned above, it has brought about some positive changes. One such change is that many large companies have done away with the formerly popular practice of giving women an extra cash bonus when they left their jobs to get married. Although the bonus was alleged to be an expression of appreciation for services rendered, its interpretation as an incentive for female employees to leave caused it to fall into disfavor with the enactment of this law.
Another positive result of the new law is the introduction of a hiring system whereby prospective female employees may choose from two tracks: one allowing them to do the same work as male employees and receive equal treatment and the other retaining their traditional role as assistants to the men. The vast majority of new female employees, however, choose the traditional track, at least partly because they are less likely to be transferred to other areas. In the traditional track, female employees are essentially defined as helpers to the males of the workplace; making copies and serving tea are routinely included among their job duties. Thus, although few woman exercise their rights under this law, it is their right to support those who opt for an equal employment opportunity track.
In general, women's consciousness in Japan is definitely evolving toward a desire for equality of the sexes; however, a combination of historical and socio-cultural factors have caused change at the workplace to be extremely slow in coming.

Gerhart, and her husband Jim Rod, a cutting horse trainer, were the breeders of Mulberry Canyon Moon ("Macy"), the Top Futurity Horse and Top Horse Overall, with earnings of $180,336. The talented gray mare, now 5, is named for the canyon in which the Gerharts live on the Adkins Ranch near Merkel, Texas.
"I miss barrel racing," said Gerhart. "I refuse to give up raising a few barrel horses each year. It's my way of staying in touch with it."
Macy is by Marthas Six Moons out of De Streaker ("Crystal), a gray mare by Osage Streaker (TB), sire of Angie Meador's National Finals Rodeo horse Hesa Classy Osage. Crystal, a 1985 model, is out of Go Stuff Too, by the Go Man Go stallion Four Forty King.
While attending Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas, Gerhart, a New Jersey transplant, purchased Crystal as a 5-year-old from Suzanne Moseley. Crystal was trained by former National Finals Rodeo qualifier Marion Gramith.
"I rodeoed on her all through college," said Gerhart. "I had a bunch of fun on her. After college, I just started breeding her. I haven't really been to a barrel race since then."
Gerhart's time instead switched to helping her husband with the cutting horses and raising their two small children.
Crystal was bred to Snorty Lena, a cutting stallion owned by the Adkins ranch, a couple times, Frenchmans Guy, and her last foal was by Sticks An Stones, but the foal didn't survive. Macy was the result of several attempts to get Crystal in foal to Marthas Six Moons.
Gerhart said that Macy always had that "something extra" to make her special.
"She was really sick when she was born and we didn't know if she was going to make it," Gerhart said. "She was a gritty baby and she would test you."
Although she never thought it would happen, Gerhart sold Crystal last year to Danny Ray's Victory Farms.
"I never had the heart to let her go until last year," Gerhart said. "She was getting up there in years and we were having trouble getting her in foal. I figured he has the staff to get it done."
Gerhart hopes that Ray is able to get some more foals out of Crystal. She laments that many of the mare's colts didn't get the chance to prove their worth in the arena like Macy did.
"We've just been so excited about (Macy)," exclaimed Gerhart. "We're really proud of what she's done."

In the early days of blogging, most people used blogs as a digital platform-a diary of sorts-to share their opinions and vent frustrations. Today, however, blogs can be used to earn money for everything from writing about hobbies to reviewing favorite products! Oh, how technology advances… In prior posts, I've talked about making money with blogs. But, what does it take to monetize a blog successfully? That's what this post is all about…
Step #1 To Earn Money For Blogging About What You Love: Research, Research, Research Don't let that repetition scare you:
doing research can actually be kinda fun… Finding profitable ideas is a lot like playing an online detective. You can stakeout popular blogs that already exist and keep an eye on the trends people care about. Take note of what people are saying in the comments and get a feel for what content resonates the most. (Shortcut this by seeing if the blog lists any "featured" or "most popular" posts…) You can take things even further by visiting forums in the niche you're interested in and browse around to see what kind of questions people are asking there. Be sure to also watch for trends with those questions, as they can easily shed light on what sort of problems your future readers are having. Most niches will usually have a few common problems that exist within them.
Step #2 To Earn Money For Your Blogging:
Who Are YOU, and Why Should Others Care? The only unfortunate thing about blogs being so easy to start is that anyone can have one. For this reason, you need to establish some sort of credibility. You don't have to be a flat out an expert to blog about a topic, but it's worth mentioning why you ARE qualified to do so. If you run a parenting blog, for example, you could bond with your readers and establish credibility at the same time by writing a short post about your children. An owner of a marketing blog might not be an absolute guru, but could very easily have more experience than most. In short: you don't have to know it all, you just need to know enough!
Step #3 To Earn Money For Your Blogging:
Make Your Content Sticky You can have all the marketing chops in the world to drive visitors to your blog, but if your content is only as exciting as watching paint dry, you're toast. After all, nobody is going to come to your blog specifically looking to click your ads or buy products you promote as an affiliate, right? That's why you need content that's engaging… If you're not too camera-shy, you could even mix things up a bit by shooting a quick video and posting it to your blog. In fact, video is a great way to bond with your readers by letting them actually see who's doing all the behind-the-scenes typing.
Step #4 To Earn Money For Your Blogging:
Test Different Types Of Ads Just as some people offline respond better to infomercials while others are more apt to buy through direct mail, similar preferences exist, online. Depending on the type of blog you run, visitors might be in search or "research mode". If that's the case, perhaps text links and contextual ads might perform best. On the other hand, other visitors might be more responsive to visual ads. In that scenario, you might test different banner ads. Aside from testing TYPES of ads, you should also make it a point to test different areas of your site to place them. Many popular sites, for example, have done well by placing ads between pieces of content. The only way to know for sure is to test!
Step #5 To Earn Money For Your Blogging:
Keep It Consistent! First, it was raining pandas on content farms with Google's major "Panda" update. An even more recent update was their "freshness" change. More than ever, big boys in the search engine world are placing a heavy emphasis on fresh, unique content. If you want to get your share of the love from search engines, you'll need to maintain a consistent content schedule. Doing so will not only help your sites rank higher, but it will also give you more terms to potentially rank for. How To Earn Money For Blogging Even If You HATE The "Technical Stuff" As I've mentioned before in other posts, I'm actually pretty new to blogging. If you've yet to get started but would love to share ideas, blog about your passions, and make money while doing it, what's holding you back? If it's the technical side of things, I highly suggest you give Empower Network a try. One of the big selling points for me was the fact that my membership included a blog that's already optimized for the search engines and ready to go. Whether you want to use it as a platform for other things or promote the Empower Network itself (my suggestion), everything has already been created for you. For more info, including how to earn 100% commissions, be sure to check out this quick video: Click here now to see how to earn money for blogging on the Empower Network.

Commentary by Simon Larsen
Both players open in the same manner. Moving forward but in a circular pattern. To my mind this is a fairly defensive way of testing out an opponent you suspect is going to be good. The first series of strikes all look to be made by confident mindsets and the attacking spirit seems fairly even between the two of them.
At 00:38 we get a very clear image of just how risky men is. Moriuchi attempts men and is lucky that Hisatsune's nodo strike went under the nodo. If Hisatsune hasn't reacted badly to the lifting prior to the men he probably would have aimed for do and got it relatively easily as during the men strike Moriuchi is quite front on. I know I go on about this too much but for all the people with kendo backgrounds learning tankendo I don't think it can be stressed enough.
At about 00:58 Moriuchi looks to be taking the initiative in the attacking. Hisatsune is relying more on counter techniques. By 01:10 Moriuchi is confidently attacking and pressuring Hisatsune and you can see on the restart that Hisatsune moves backwards a lot more during the similar "forward but circular" approach, maybe 30cm to the right of the centre line. From that point on Hisatsune only initiates 4 of the attacks. Playing defensively against an opponent is fine so long as you score points. I believe that in the long term of your training if you're not scoring points it might be an idea to be more aggressive even if you lose points in the short term.
At 03:12 Moriuchi unfortunately over extended his arm and therefore did not score, remember that correct technique for a do strike there should be an angle formed by the arm and the tanken. Trying to cover the extra distance Hisatsune created by moving backwards just by reaching was a bad choice. Probably nidan waza would have worked better. A good reminder that when striking taking a large step often makes nidan waza really hard to do as your balance is too forward to get that extra step easily. Hisatsune obviously thought that his counter attack had a chance of scoring as well which is another reason not to do this.
I am fairly sure that Moriuchi wins on Hante due to the more constant attacking and the "almost" strike at 03:12.

Now more than ever, our city, state, and nation need to address the crisis of the lack of affordable, high-quality early childcare.
This spring, I enrolled in Encore!Connecticut – a corporate-to-nonprofit executive leadership program of the University of Connecticut's Department of Public Policy and Connecticut nonprofit partners. As part of that program, I interned at New Haven Children's Ideal Learning District (NH ChILD), a nonprofit working to revolutionize the early care and education (ECE) landscape in New Haven.
As a mother, ECE was necessary for me to return to work after my daughter was born. However, my fellowship at NH ChILD taught me how valuable ECE is to both children and the economic growth and well-being of our cities and state. In fact, the US Chamber of Commerce considers ECE as the key to solving the two-generation workforce challenge: i.e., the ability to recruit and retain top talent and as an underestimated phase of education and human development necessary for a well-educated work force.
Brain science supports the importance of ECE for children. Access to affordable, high-quality ECE for every child is vital. According to the Centers for Disease Control, "The early years of a child's life are very important for later health and development. One of the main reasons is how fast the brain grows starting before birth and continuing into early childhood. Although the brain continues to develop and change into adulthood, the first 8 years can build a foundation for future learning, health and life success."
ECE is also an investment in future economic growth. As we begin to reopen the economy after the current pandemic, it will be difficult for those responsible for children to return to work if they do not have access to safe, affordable care.
A common argument against expanding early childhood care and education is that it is too expensive. Specifically, the cost to taxpayers is perceived as a barrier. However, it turns out that great brain science is also great for our economy. The Nobel Prize-winning, University of Chicago Economics Prof. James Heckman's research demonstrates the significant benefits New Haven could reap by investing in high-quality ECE. "The rate of return for investment in quality early childhood education is 13% per annum through better outcomes in education, health, sociability, economic productivity and reduced crime." These gains are significant and pay for themselves many times over.
Luckily, New Haven has a model for how to expand affordable, high-quality ECE. The NH ChILD model for ECE access includes an infrastructure plan, rethinking public funding options, and an early childcare resource network. That way, high-quality ECE is affordable and accessible to all New Haven children from birth to age eight.
NH ChILD promotes Ideal Learning (IL) approaches for New Haven's young children and assumes that children best achieve their potential through learning that activates their interests, abilities, and talents to build knowledge, know-how, and confidence. To ensure quality, the plan includes professional learning and quality measures as well as partnerships for family engagement and parent leadership training. This comprehensive plan could be a model for our state and nation.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the ECE crisis is even more apparent. State legislators, childcare experts, parents, and business leaders are urging the federal government to fund ECE now so our economy can reopen and prosper. Congress has failed to pass the urgently needed "Childcare is Essential Act."
Leadership and funding are vital to ensure that safe and affordable care is available so parents can return to work and children can thrive in safe, nurturing, high quality environments. Therefore, I urge you to contact your local, state, and federal representatives and let them know that funding ECE is vital for a healthy economy and essential for a well-educated workforce of the future.
Debra D'Arinzo is a Fellow at Encore!Connecticut.

text: Philip Surrey was born in Calgary, Alberta, in 1910. At the age of 16, he took his first art lessons at the Winnipeg School of Art, under Lionel LeMoine Fitzgerald and George Overton, and became friends with Fritz Brandtner. During this period, he began painting nocturnal urban scenes lit by street lamps and restaurant lights. In 1929, he moved to Vancouver, where he worked as a graphic artist at Cleland-Kent Engraving while taking evening art classes with Frederick Varley and Jock MacDonald at the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts. In 1936, Surrey spent three months at the Art Students League in New York, where he studied with Frank Vincent DuMond. The following year, he settled in Montreal and found work at The Standard newspaper, where he would remain for 25 years. In 1964, the paper's publisher gave him the opportunity to paint full-time under salary. For the next 12 years, he devoted himself to his art practice and presented many solo exhibitions. A founding member of the Contemporary Arts Society, Surrey was awarded the Canadian Centennial Medal (1967). In 1981, he received an honorary doctorate from Concordia University, and he was made a member of the Order of Canada the following year. Surrey died in Montreal on May 7, 1990.

The Capital Weekender with Charlie Powell 10pm - 1am
27 August 2020, 12:18
'The Kissing Booth' star Jacob Elordi has been on a trip with BFF and '13 Reasons Why' Actor, Tommy Dorfman, and their holiday snaps kissing and being cuter than ever have sent the internet into meltdown.
The Kissing Booth's Jacob Elordi and 13 Reasons Why actor, Tommy Dorfman have sent the internet into absolute meltdown posing up a storm on holiday together, kissing in a tight embrace and proving they're the best of pals, and we're seriously jealous.
The Kissing Booth's Taylor Zakhar Perez Addresses Joey King Dating Rumours
Tommy, 28, posted the carousel of snaps to his 1.5 million followers, and Euphoria fans quickly realised the tall, brunette he's been frolicking with whilst on a rural getaway in Montana, is none other than actor and heartthrob, Jacob.
He simply captioned the snaps with a love heart, tagging Jacob alongside it.
Fans and celebs alike rushed to comment on the BFF PDA snap, with YouTuber James Charles commenting, "omg what", and another user summing up everyone's thoughts very well, writing, "This is the content the ppl need in 2020."
For anyone who thought this kiss could mean the celebrity duo are something more than pals, Tommy is married to The Yearbook actor, Peter Zurkuhlen, with the pair having tied the knot in 2016, often posting about each other on Instagram and reminding us how single we are.
As for Jacob, he infamously split from his TKB co-star Joey King in late 2018, and he has since been linked to his Euphoria co-star Zendaya, although neither have confirmed this.
We're obsessed with these close pals out here showing everyone how much they love each other, we think everyone should go and give their bestie a kiss, it's what Jacob would want!
View this post on Instagram
HAPPY BIRTHDAY @tommy.dorfman !! There's nobody I'd rather share my life with. You blow me away and inspire me every day. I'm so proud of you for everything you've accomplished, for who you are, for your continued growth, your spirit, your partnership, and for your advocacy and tenacity in helping others and causes close to our hearts. Going to sleep and waking up next to you (and our two pups!) is the best; wouldn't trade it for anything. Here's to another year together of charging toward our dreams and sharing lots of laughter. I adore our family and our friends. And most of all, I. Love. You! 😊💜
If you've been noticing a Kissing Booth sized hole in your life ever since the sequel dropped this summer, you'll be happy to know a third instalment has not only been confirmed, but was filmed at the same time as the second.
So, we can expect the final movie to drop in the near future, with some even speculation Valentine's Day 2021 as a release date.
Anything to have Jacob back on our screens!

Big changes are coming with the 2022 GMC Sierra. The current generation has been around for a while and it's time for a mid-cycle update. We are about to see a lot of changes, starting from the new styling. Besides the new look, the next year's model will also bring a completely new interior design, finally. You may count on a new dashboard design and a full load of new tech features. On the other hand, the engine lineup will remain the same.
Another big novelty that is coming is the new generation of the Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system. The new system will be far more advanced and it will even be able to tow a trailer, overtake slow vehicles etc. The new model is expected to arrive sometime in the last quarter of the year. On the other hand, HD models won't feature bigger updates.
2022 GMC Sierra Design
In terms of base design characteristics, the 2022 GMC Sierra won't change too much. We will see the same mechanics, based on the T1 platform. On the other hand, the styling will be notably updated. The test mule still wears a lot of camouflage, which indicates interesting changes. Both front and rear ends should be revised, while we also count on typical mid-cycle updates, such as new wheels, color options and similar things.
Of course, exclusive versions like the 2022 GMC Sierra Denali will continue with a lot of unique details, such as grille, wheels, interior details etc.
On the other hand, the 2022 GMC Sierra AT4 won't be different just visually. It will also come with a lot of off-road hardware, with features like a 2-inch suspension lift, hill descent control, skid plates, an off-road suspension, a two-speed transfer case.
The 2022 GMC Sierra interior will finally be all-new. You know the story about the last redesign when the cabin layout from the previous generation carried over with almost no changes. This has been the weakest point of the truck but things are finally about to change. The next year's model is about to come with a completely new dashboard design. You may count on the new instrument cluster as well, as well as on things like a new center stack, new center console, and many more.
Of course, we will see a much bigger touchscreen on the offer, probably with a new infotainment system. Another big change will be a new gear shifter. Instead of the current steering column-mounted shifter, the new selector will be in the place where it should be, on the center stack.
Another part of this update will be the addition of new standard and available features. One of the biggest novelties will be the addition of the new generation of GM's well-known Super Cruise. The new version of the system will be more autonomous and it will be able to tow a trailer, overtake slower vehicles etc.
Other than the new Super Cruise, we expect to see a new infotainment system, along with a bigger touchscreen. Base models should also come with goodies like a six-speaker audio system (two speakers in Regular Cab models), Bluetooth, a USB port, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. On the other hand, more expensive models will come with upgrades like an 8-inch touch screen, a seven-speaker Bose audio system, satellite radio, HD Radio, a Wi-Fi hot spot, additional USB ports, voice recognition, and navigation, a sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry, remote start, and two 120-volt household-style power outlets etc.
The same thing is with safety. We might see a few additions, though the current model already stands pretty well in this aspect. You can get things like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, lane change alert, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, a surround-view parking camera system, a rear camera mirror, and a head-up display.
2022 GMC Sierra Engines
The engine lineup will certainly remain the same. Base models will continue with a good-old 4.3-liter V6, which puts out around 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque. The next one in the line is a 2.7-liter turbo-four, which puts out around 310 horsepower and 348 pound-feet of torque.
The V8 lineup starts with a 5.3-liter engine, which features a max output of 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. There is also a bigger 6.2-liter V8, which puts out around 420 horses and 460 pound-feet of torque.
Finally, there is a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6, which is good for about 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
2022 GMC Sierra Release Date and Price
We expect that the 2022 GMC Sierra will hit the market sometime in the last quarter of the year, with a starting price of around 31.000 dollars. Key competitors are Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra etc.

Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi says Pakistan as full member of Shanghai Cooperation Organization will work to play an even greater role in realization of shared aspirations.
He was addressing the SCO's 17th Council of Heads of Government meeting in Dushanbe, Tajikistan today (Friday).
The Minister said Pakistan has always been a firm believer and supporter of SCO charter. He said we believe that Pakistan's destiny is linked with SCO.
He said we remain determined to link Central Asia through our seaports and highways for shortest access to the sea. I reiterate establishment of SCO-Pakistan corridors for transit, trade and energy.
Shah Mehmood Qureshi said Pakistan has made substantial gains in combating terrorism and extremism.
He said in recent years we have conducted the world's largest and most effective counter-terrorism operation.
He said through the SCO regional anti-terrorist infrastructure, Pakistan remains ready to share its expertise and experience in combating terrorism.
The Foreign Minister emphasized the need for conduct of international relations based on principles of mutual interest and respect and shared aspirations. He said forces of coercion and unilateralism are on the rise.
Shah Mehmood Qureshi said terrorism, regional and international conflicts, climate change, and inequitable growth are imperilling global trade and world peace.
This complex and challenging environment calls for a global architecture for peace, security and development that treats all the states on equal footings.
