Each in-house move the Colorado Rockies made this year seemed to backfire. Staying put with a young rotation, avoiding role changes in the bullpen and moving a struggling player from one defensive position to another are all moves that fell flat.
For next year, three big in-house changes are needed – at the very least – for the club to get back to their postseason ways. Several out-of-house changes will be needed as well.
For the latest episode of the 20th and Blake Podcast, Luke Zahlmann breaks down each of the changes. Topics include Ian Desmond's undeserved spot in the batting order, Daniel Murphy's defense and Kyle Freeland's biggest problem this year.
The episode also includes a breakdown of what Jeff Hoffman's latest success means for the future of the Rockies' rotation.

Teen May be Charged as an Adult for the Murder of Pregnant Classmate
A 17-year-old Texas Teen may be facing adult charges in the murder of his pregnant classmate, Arrijana Hill, who was expecting twins. Authorities have claimed the killer was also the father of the two unborn children.
The district court attorney involved in the case, Jeri Yenne, claims she will be pushing for the killer to be tried as an adult in the March murder of Arrijana. "It is important to us that this 17-year-old male be held accountable and the family of Arrijana Hill receives justice. She was brutally murdered," tells Yenne.
At the time of the murder, the boy was still only sixteen; therefore he is considered a juvenile in the case, allowing the courts to withhold his name.
Hill's family found Arrijana's body inside her Pearland home on March 21. Autopsy proved that the teen died of manual strangulation and multiple stab wounds.
Investigators were quickly able to identify the killer, who was a main suspect since the beginning of the investigation. After a DNA analysis and a paternity test it became known that the 17-year-old murderer was also the father of the unborn twins.
On May 13th the male was taken into custody from Pasadena Memorial High School. Then he was taken to Brazoria County Juvenile Detention Center. And because Hill was pregnant at the time of her murder, authorities charged the suspect with capital murder.
Hill's mother, in an emotional interview says, "[the arrest] was definitely helpful in… the healing process and a little more closure for us and my family." Powerful words were later spoken by Hill's mother about her personality and spirit. "My daughter had a delightful spirit—always smiling, always happy, so I continue to remember her as that person who was always happy and always in a good mood and always smiling about something."
Police have not released any further details on whether or not the teen will be charged as an adult, or if there were any possible motives.

Abia: Two inspectors died, no firearm stolen – Police chief speaks on attack
Following the attack on the State Criminal Investigation Department in Umuagu Umuahia, Abia State, on Saturday, the Commissioner of Police, Janet Agbede, has said no fewer than eight of the attackers, suspected to be members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Eastern Security Network (ESN), were killed.
DAILY POST reported that unknown gunmen had razed the Umuagu Police station in Umuahia North Local Government area of the state.
As at the time of our earlier report, on Saturday, it could not be confirmed if any casualty was recorded during the unwarranted attack on the police formation.
However, briefing newsmen in Umuahia on Sunday on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, the Public Relations Officer of Abia Command, SP Geoffrey Ogbonna, confirmed the killing of two Inspectors by the yet to be identified gunmen.
The Police Commissioner said the attackers had stormed the police formation at about 6pm on Saturday, shooting sporadically.
According to CP Agbede, a reinforcement from the command headquarters added to the fierce engagement with men on ground saw eight of the hoodlums neutralised.
She added that some of the attackers escaped with gunshot wounds while two vehicles were recovered.
The facility, the Police boss said, was burnt down following the detonation of an explosive through the back of the building.
While stating that the suspects in detention were released and an exhibit car burnt, Agbede said no fire arm was carted away.
She therefore urged medical facilities within and outside the state to report to security agencies in the event that patients with suspected bullet wounds come for treatment.
The Commissioner further appealed to parents and guardians to warn their children and wards to desist from acts capable of truncating the peace and security of the state, describing it as a whirlwind that will blow no one good.

AS THE future for travel begins to take place, one bright note for travellers from Ireland to Scotland is the announcement of a service from Edinburgh to Ireland West Airport Knock to launch this September.
The service will be operated by Ryanair, and will offer flights twice weekly between the Scottish capital and the Mayo airport, opening up the west of Ireland to air travel from Scotland and encouraging travel across the Irish Sea.
The new service replaces a route lost when Flybe ceased trading, and is paired with another new Ryanair service from Knock to Manchester.
"The airport were extremely disappointed to lose these two services last year following the ceasing trading of our longstanding partner Flybe, and it has been our priority during the last 12 months to secure a replacement carrier for these services, given the importance and popularity of these markets," Ireland West Airport Knock managing director Joe Gilmore said. "We thank Ryanair for their continued unwavering support for the airport in expanding their route network during what continues to be the most challenging period in the airport's history, and, indeed, for aviation globally, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The announcement comes as a rare bit of good news for those eager to travel to Ireland once more, after a year in which the regular flow of traffic across the Irish Sea was reduced to a trickle, and also marks the beginning of what is hoped will be the recovery for international travel from Ireland West Airport Knock.
"Furthermore, this announcement reflects both the airport's and our airline partners' commitment to rebuilding and continuing to expand our route network," Mr Gilmore continued. "And we are confident that with the support of our loyal customer base, local authority partners, stakeholders and government, the airport will return to growth in the not too distant future when international travel recovers from the effects of COVID-19."
In a statement Ryanair shared the news of their new services, saying, "We are pleased to announce two new routes from Ireland West Airport to Edinburgh and Manchester, commencing in September 2021 and flying twice weekly as part of our Irish summer 2021 schedule."

Stay Positive!
What better time is there than a stay-at-home order to decide how good you could make it?
Is it your business?
The pile on your desk?
Your life?
How about instead of deciding how good you are, promise yourself to make a little improvement every day. And then you'll be even better. Here's what I'm going to promise myself:
1. Instead of thinking the worst about everything, like "why didn't she answer my email?", I will think the best and say, "She's as busy as I am and she'll answer it when she has a moment of quiet."
2. Maybe I'll see something new and wonderful in someone I knew for a long time
3. When my eyes pop open at 2am, instead of letting the woodpecker in my head take over, I'll get up and write down some of what I'm thinking to get it out of my head and onto paper. Then I might be able to get back to sleep.
4. People will be seen as having the best intentions.
5. Instead of being exhausted about all I have to do, I'm going to see each step as something completed that will energize me.
6. Instead of overthinking, I'll act!
7. If something feels so hard to do, I'll remember that because it's hard, it'll turn out to be something wonderful.
8. If someone rejects me or my business or unfriends me, I will cherish those that stick with me even more.
9. I will let the good moments hug me.
10. I choose positivity.

Karl Lagerfeld collaborates with fashion entrepreneur Olivia Palermo who styles pieces and co-creates bespoke designs.
July 4, 2019
The anticipated collaboration Karl Lagerfeld x Olivia Palermo collection has launches with Olivia's New York take on Karl's Parisian classics, for contemporary women around the world.
"Being able to collaborate with the visionary and iconic Karl Lagerfeld is truly incredible," said Olivia Palermo. "I am so proud to bring our shared vision to life on this project and infuse my own eclectic perspective to Karl's Fall 2019 collection."
Palermo has curated signature looks through her feminine and polished lens, plus co-designed 24 bespoke pieces. The styles reflect her eclectic viewpoint as a native New Yorker who has traveled the world. It's in the finer details, like the peplum on a shirt or the tuxedo details of a two-piece suit, that the trans-Atlantic elements of their partnership come to life. But, if you ask Palermo, the idea started with a classic button-down shirt.
Throughout their collaboration, the native New Yorker sought to preserve Parisian classics associated with Lagerfeld's design aesthetic, while adding her own experiences from her world travels to inform her edit for the collection. Karl Lagerfeld x Olivia Palermo includes leather biker pants and a jacket to match, a houndstooth tailored suit, a maxi dress-bomber jacket hybrid that adds an athletic element to the lineup, a jumpsuit, a matching boucle short and coat set, denim culottes, and much more.
"Our collection focuses on universal wardrobe essentials like a leather biker jacket, white button-down shirts and tuxedo suiting," said Olivia Palermo. "I wanted to play with KARL's iconic Parisian classics, and add my own touch that's eclectic and feminine. I used my travels and experiences in different cultures to inform my edit, to ensure its wearability from Paris to New York and beyond."

We often take the spectacularity of our existence for granted.
We go about our days rotating, without catastrophe, through space and time while inhabiting one of the most complex vessels in all of existence. And we often do so without ever pausing for a moment to acknowledge the highly complex system(s) of intelligent function and form that makes all of life possible (even when our complex brains contain the same innate intelligence that gives us the ability to know and to comprehend all that we truly are).
But if you, for any reason, forgot that your complex body, mind, and all that exists in our cosmos has built-in and eternally evolving intelligence that is nothing short of extraordinary when you take the time to contemplate it, I am here today to remind you to (even if it is just for the minute or two that it takes for you to read this post), come awake and be present for the magnificence of your existence and the magnificence of all of creation.
Though our human fantasies and inventions (as amazing as they sometimes are) significantly pale in comparison to the fact of our existence (and this is true of everything that we create from our artworks to our ideologies, to our societies) our innate nature and the intelligence that is "built" in and within us from the existence of a greater intelligence is the epitome of perfection. This fact makes it so that (on levels beyond mundane form) we are all perfect in every way as well.
This perfection makes it so that we are constantly learning and improving in every moment (and in every way possible) as we collectively live and breathe, interact with our environment, travel through space and time, and have new needs, desires, and possibilities unfolding through us just from living life and moving into the seemingly eternal future (that we only get to experience temporarily in our physical human bodies).
Through this ever-expanding reality of our existence, we move from potential to greater possibility at all times, moving forward from the perfection that created us toward the expression of perfection in forms that are always endeavoring for "better" on all levels, from perfection in the form of personal growth to perfection in the form of evolution within our species.
Whether it is the existence of DNA containing vast amounts of data in a microscopic form, the process of our birth and cell-replication which manifests our corporeal bodies that host our "personal/individual" expression of consciousness, the process of healing our physical wounds, or our psyches, the complex phenomena of our evolution which, over time, creates new possibilities and advantages for our survival and continuous movement forward as well as the perpetuation of our species, or the fact that only light and stardust "created" us and all form in existence, our reality is astounding in every single way.
And yet, because magnificent is simple who we are, we often fail to fully appreciate our True splendor and the overall incredible truth of our existence in connection to all of creation, simultaneously missing the awareness and magnificence of the pure potential from which we emerged out of literal nothingness and darkness into eternally expanding light.
Today, however, as you continue to contemplate this week's prompt, I invite you to take a moment to acknowledge all that you truly are. And I am not just referring to the fabricated "you" of your ego as you already know from our studies so far. Today, I invite you to take a moment to fully acknowledge all that you are in your true nature and by the sheer nature of your existence.
I want to remind you not to take "yourself," or your life, for granted since it is almost an improbable miracle that you exist at all if you were to look at your presence mathematically.
So, regardless of where you are in life, and regardless of how seemingly challenging or convincingly wonderful the illusions of your existence in physical form may appear, please do the following: Just for a moment, put down the weight of the constructs that cloud and color the truth of your expression and true nature.
Look behind the seemingly concrete nature of your form and the temporality of this form (and beyond the temporality of your existence within your ever-changing society) to see the truth of your full expression manifested in the world. Do this now so that you can recognize, and get to know, the beautiful "face" of your True Self.
Please remember that once you know this "face," above all others, you can finally gain real peace and freedom from suffering.

Our region has always leaned into adversity, chaos and serving the vulnerable. We have moved through so much over the years and we always grow, stand taller and find a way to serve each other.
I have learned from so many of you, and we have learned from each other. It's a mindset our region has learned from watching each other. Other communities are either too large to see the impact of community pain or too selfish to make a difference. Thank you for offering your hearts and energy to serve.
The United Way has a lens that can see deep into a community. There are elements of need that each of us care deeply about. There are other elements that are hard to see and even harder to tug at the hearts of people. It does not mean they are not important because they are. Sometimes it can simply be the noise non-profits can create. Some have the financial energy to create awareness and many do not. United Way's efforts paint a broad picture to hopefully open the eyes and hearts of the community.
One of my personal passions is the Family Stability Program. THE FAMILY STABILITY PROGRAM (FSP) is a partnership with United Way of the Greater Dayton Area, Homefull, the Siemer Institute, and Dayton Public Schools to prevent homelessness and student mobility among Dayton Public School children and their families. This program steps in front of issues before a family becomes broken, homeless, and hopeless. To date this program has made a difference in the following ways:
- 251 families served
- 216 families stayed in their homes
- 19% exited the program with increased income
- 12% families gained employment
- 864 children served
FINANCIAL STABILITY IS THE KEY TO self-sufficiency. United Way of the Greater Dayton Area makes investments throughout the Greater Dayton area to promote financial stability for families and individuals by working on the following initiatives:
- REGIONAL EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT COLLABORATIVE Helps eligible wage earners access free, quality tax prep and provides wealth-building opportunities.
- HOMELESS SOLUTIONS Investment is made to address the issue of homelessness and to support individuals and families in achieving housing and financial stability.
- FAMILY STABILITY PROGRAM A United Way-led effort targeting families at imminent risk of homelessness to improve housing stability and academic stability for school age children.
Thank you for giving people kindness, strength, and hope. Thank you for giving in the midst of personal and professional doubt. Thank you for believing in the United Way and, most of all, thank you for believing in each other.
All the best,
Scott McGohan
Chair, Tocqueville Society
President and CEO Chief Executive Officer, McGohan Brabender Inc.

MILWAUKEE – A judge has sentenced the man convicted of attacking Milwaukee's mayor to 12 years in prison.
Mayor Tom Barrett choked up in court on Friday when he testified that he thought he was going to die after being attacked with a tire iron last summer. Barrett urged Milwaukee County Circuit Judge David Hansher to send 21-year-old Anthony J. Peters to prison for "a long period of time."
The mayor was leaving the Wisconsin State Fair last August when he heard a call for help. Barrett tried to intervene in a dispute between Peters and the grandmother of Peters' daughter.
Peters apologized to Barrett and his family and said he wanted to take responsibility for his actions.
Hansher also ordered to 10 years of supervision for Peters.

February's Comment Incentive Giveaway!
Hats off to all of the fabulous Commenters for January!
Great job everyone. :-)
The MVC for January was Miki!
Now, on to February's Comment Incentive Giveaway.
The rules are the same. It is open to everyone 13 years of age or older provided you are a follower.
Obviously the more you comment on and share the posts, the better your chances of winning!
I must say that I am having even more issues with Rafflecopter. It appears that someone has hi-jacked my account or some other such nonsense. It will not let me log in and therefore I am using the other Giveaway form. I'm sorry to those of you who prefer Rafflecopter. In many ways I liked it better too. This is the closest I have found to it and beggars can't be choosy. Please bear with it.
That being said, I was unable to add yesterday's additional posts to the Rafflecopter. I've added them to the new Giveaway so that you get credit where credit is due!
Ready, Set, Comment!
What is the weather like where you live?
Thank you for commenting! Don't forget to enter the Comment Incentive Giveaway. The link can be found at the top of the page!
40 comments:
Thank you so so much!!ReplyDelete
Don't worry being selected MVC won't make me reduce my effort ^^ quite the opposite^^
thank you once again!
i'm sorry rafflecopter was hacked, i understand better when the links wasn't added ( i thought that perhaps it was because we were the 31 and too close to the limit date) Did the rafflecopter support helped at least?
I don't mind this form, it give us the opportunity to see what we have entered already so it works for me^^ don't worryReplies
I am still in the process of trying again to get help. They keep telling me to do the same things over and over and they didn't work before and aren't working now.Delete
I was never unable to log in before though! I asked them to log me in we shall see what happens!
oups i forgot the questions ( i focused on what you wrote first^^;;) the weather.... rains rains yesterday it was 12 degres today only 5 ( and before it was minus 10) and they forecast lesser temperatures for the next day so today i will go back to cover my flowers before it freeze again ( i don't like when the weather make big hop like that i prefer when it's more gradual)ReplyDelete
thank you once againReplies
Today our temperature is near 0. Two days ago it was almost 70. I wish Mother Nature would pick one or the other, preferably the warmer option. lol! :DDelete
70 ..; i always forgot we don't use the same scale^^;;Delete
I didn't realize we used different scales! We use fahrenheit.Delete
we use celsius ^^;; so to give you an idea in celsius the human body normal warm is 37°C not sure the equivalent for you but it looks like it's around 98°FDelete
my 0 is equivalent of 30°F thus when i told you it was minus 10 for you it means around 15°F ( thank you wiki^^)
so it looks like we got the same trouble with large difference of temperature in a short span of days
I use the Celsius scale, too, Miki. I can never figure out what North Americans mean when they talk about the temperature in Fahrenheit! LOL!
It's just my bias, of course, but I also think that having temperature in a neat scale from 0 to 100, with 0 as the freezing point and 100 as the boiling point, makes it so much easier to understand! What do you think? =)
^^ for me too it seems simplier but i grew with that idea so for me it's normalDelete
i also have a problem for the distance ( when it's not killometer, centimeter etc)sometimes or for following the recipe ( i use gramme, kilogrammes )
I agree completely! Using the same scale as you would make sense.Delete
Wow! We use different meaurements for recipes too.Delete
I guess I just don't think about it.lol!
The weather is being unpredictable again. I live in the bi-polar state of Florida. It's currently warm outside, but tonite it'll drop to feel freezing cold.ReplyDeleteReplies
I live in PA. Our weather has been giving us whiplash too.Delete
And I don't mind this form, though it is a bit harder to use than Rafflecopter for me, but it's cool. Hopefully I remember to enter all the comments on time this time.ReplyDeleteReplies
If not, you can always add a few at a time!Delete
First of all, congratulations to Miki! =D
Brenda: I also find this form harder to use than Rafflecopter, but that's likely because this is my first time using it. =) I had to learn to be comfortable with Rafflecopter as well, so I'm sure that I'll get used to this one soon. And since I'll be coming by every day to rack up entries, I'll have a lot of practice. ;-)Replies
Thank you a lot Enbrethiliel.Delete
Commenting with you is an honor^^
Thank you for being so understanding!Delete
I sure hope you learn to like it.
I also hope that the Rafflecopter people will figure out what is going on and fix it!
Miki -- The feeling is mutual! =)
Brenda -- And I just realised that I forgot to answer the question! The weather here in Southeast Asia is pretty good. My colleagues in Europe moan in envy whenever we compare temperatures. I tell them to wait until summer, when they'll be sitting pretty and I'll be a boiled lobster! =P
I guess the post was just so interesting that the question was unnecessary today. lol!Delete
Right now, the weather is Sunny and COLD (High of 30) with 10-15 mph winds (that feel like they are blowing off an ice-burg).ReplyDeleteReplies
Isn't winter weather wonderful? :DDelete
Sorry about your rafflecopter getting hacked, that's frustrating. I don't mind using Giveaway Tools. I've used it before.ReplyDelete
Weather? Sunny but still cold. I can't wait for spring to show up :)Replies
I'm ready for Spring too!Delete
Maybe even summer! I just want to be warm...tired of cold :(ReplyDeleteReplies
I could definitely go for Summer. We just had weather near 70 degrees a couple days ago.Delete
Congrats Miki! And, I don't mind, either giveaway entry is fine with me. I hope you figure out Rafflecopeter if you prefer it. Weather her is extremely cold BRRR. We've been having scattered flurries the last couple of days. I'm ready for warmer weather, but can't complain about February too much since it's my birthday month! Hoping to get some good books here in a few weeks ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
I am so frustrated! They keep telling me to clean my cache and try a different browser. I've tried both options numerous times. I just want this problem resolved!Delete
I am ready for warmer weather as it is really cold here as well.
Happy Birthday in advance! I hope you have a special day and get many good books. :)
Thanks for the birthday wishes! I just received 9 books yesterday (not to mention the Kindle purchases LOL) so, yeah, it's been a good month so far! Problem now, is what to read first! Have Rush by Maya Banks, Ghost of a Chance by Kate Marsh (Katie MacAlister), My Zombie Valentine anthology, and Beautiful Disaster. I have two of Laurann Dohner's books and two of JR Wards BDB (in hardcover) to add to my bookshelves. *sigh* Thinking about a BDB re-read before Lover At Last is released.Delete
A BDB re-read sounds great!Delete
I loved Beautiful Disaster. If you haven't already read it I would start with that one! That is one of the few books that I have in both Kindle and paperback format.
Great weather here.. In the 70s.ReplyDelete
But I'm still cold in morning & nights - I'm cold blooded!
Hmm... my comment disappeared.ReplyDelete
We have very nice weather. In the 70s today but I'm still cold when sun isn't out - I'm cold blooded (:Replies
I'm cold blooded too!Delete
I live in VA and our weather is crazy stupid here, just like you all are describing. One day it is 70-80 degrees, the next it's snowing. Our weather is always like this. During the winter, the weather never stays consistent so you can never get used to the cold!ReplyDelete
I have a question. Is it okay if I can't comment on something the day you list it? Sometimes I can't check my email for days and I don't get to comment til a few days later. Can I still enter for a specific post if I comment a few days late?Replies
Yes! I actually listed most of the posts by their title this time instead of the date. I thought that would be less confusing!Delete
You can get credit for each comment, up till the end of the month. Although I would prefer that you don't do them all on the last day. :-)
Hey, I was looking at your top commentors gadget, and every time I comment, it counts down one instead of up one. Just thought I'd let you know.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'll check into it Emily. Thanks!Delete
Thanks for the comment giveaway. I like this format but like the old raffle style better it was a bit easier to use.ReplyDelete
Yes, I did! I love commenting on things! Makes me feel connected.ReplyDelete
I think this is an awesome idea! Although I'm not a fan of the new entering format, I just don't like hooking up my twitter account to apps so I can't enter a lot of giveawaysReplyDelete

Media leftists weep, gnash teeth, fume over Mueller report preview
"The cable news folks, other than Fox, have been pretty glum this evening (Friday)" wrote LU's J.E. Dyer in a post that spells out what that day's announcement that Robert Mueller has forwarded his report to Attorney General William Barr portends. Pretty glum is accurate but doesn't quite convey the full range of raw emotions the liberal media displayed.
After two years of at-times intense salivating by the Left over visions of Donald Trump being frog-walked out of the White House in handcuffs, Mueller's advice that no more more indictments will be forthcoming was a particularly bitter pill for MSNBC's Chris Matthews, who barked:
How can the president be pointed to as leading collusion with Russia, aiding a Russian conspiracy to interfere with our elections if none of his henchman, none of his children, none of his associates have been indicted?… If none of them were indicted, how can he be blamed?
Matthews wasn't alone in his outrage. NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian was on hand to console him and viewers by suggesting Mueller could still end up accusing the president of "impeachable offenses."
Fellow network host Rachel Maddow exhibited another of the five stages of grief, sadness. Cutting short a fishing trip so she could be the one to share the dreadful news with her viewers, Maddow fought back tears:
Over at CNN, the news was so overwhelming that chief political analyst Gloria Borger could scarcely keep pace with her own thoughts and ended up sputtering this stream-of-conscious jumble:
Ever since James Comey almost two years to the day testified before Congress that the FBI had opened an investigation into potential Russian collusion. So if … they get great news, the great news is, first of all, there's no more indictments, but if suddenly the President has to say those angry Democrats who were working with Bob Mueller were actually just part of a Justice Department doing its job after he has criticized the Justice Department … and then he is now vindicated … how do you manage that politically?
Veteran Wolf Blitzer, meantime, sounded a note of resignation when he asked correspondent Laura Jarrett, "It's your reporting the Special Counsel is not recommending any further indictments. As far as you know, have there been sealed indictments that potentially down the road for whatever reason could be unsealed?"
Here is Jarrett's grim reply:
I asked that very same question. I pressed them at length. Sealed, unsealed, in any form, you are telling me that it's not coming down the pike in any way in the coming weeks and months? I was told unequivocally no. It's done."
There is no joy in Mudville.
And now, with news that AG Barr's summary of the Mueller report shows no collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, we can only expect the weeping and wailing to reach a fever pitch.

- Lib Tears: Democrats Vow to Keep Investigating Trump In Spite of No New Indictments in Mueller Report.
- House unanimously votes to make Mueller report public

Pranav Pandey and Pratibha Patel from BIT Mesra, have gone home with a prize money of Rs one lakh and a trophy. They were the winners of Tata Steel's 'Mind Over Matter' Season 7. The first runners-up were Aditi Sinha and Soumyadeep Singha from BIT Sindri, who received a cash prize of Rs 75,000. The second runners-up position went to Anirudh Roy and Shikhar Ranjan from NIT Raipur, who received a cash prize of Rs 50,000.
The three winning teams received certificates of recognition and pre-placement interviews (PPI). All other participating teams got certificates of participation along with goodie bags.
Aptly called, 'Mind Over Matter', this contest encourages research and collaboration amongst corporates, academia and students. The innovation programme has been challenging the sharpest, brightest, young minds from the premier engineering institutes across India for giving ideas and solutions on various real-life technical challenges related to steel making, for about seven years now. The students get the opportunity to be mentored by top R&D experts at Tata Steel in a two-month internship.
Launched in 2014, the objective of the challenge, according to Suresh Dutt Tripathi, VP, HRM, Tata Steel, was to "to engage with the brightest young minds and provide a platform for them to showcase their ability to research and innovate."
The participating teams are invited to Tata Steel, where they create prototypes of their ideas guided by mentors from the Tata Steel R&D team.
For the first time, the grand finale and the award ceremony this year were organised using virtual platforms. Eleven teams presented their innovative solutions to the jury in the finale. Debashish Bhattacharjee, VP, technology & new materials business, Tata Steel, was the chief guest and also part of the jury, along with Vinay V. Mahashabde, chief R&D and product technology, Tata Steel, and Akshay Khullar, chief manufacturing (long product), Tata Steel.

Three Considerations For Addressing Racism In The Panhellenic Community
by Carole Jurenko Jones, Alpha Delta (U of Alabama), 2019-2021 NPC Chairman
I write to you this month during a period of sincere reflection and sadness—in our nation and within our community.
The killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, among far too many others, are challenging each of us, and the organizations to which we belong (Panhellenic and otherwise), to more substantively and candidly engage about race and confront racism.
For the members of the National Panhellenic Conference Board of Directors, the time and place in which we find ourselves has called for clear acknowledgement that racism—within society and within the Panhellenic community—is not an issue we can address simply through kindness or greater respect for one another (as important as those may be). Instead, we must carefully consider the structural and systemic reasons that too many women of color do not view our organizations as places where they feel welcomed, understood or heard.
Our approach must change, and the Board of Directors offers at least three considerations we must confront if we are to honestly reconsider our path forward as a conference and a community of Panhellenic women:
First, our organizations do not reflect the diversity that our Panhellenic communities hope to achieve. As a community, we don't make ourselves broadly attractive to women of color and we have too often fallen short in supporting our Black and Brown sisters.
The reasons for this are numerous and grounded in a clear history of past discrimination. It is vital, however, that we confront the reality that the lack of diversity within our ranks is not an accident. Decades of narratives, norms and practices have made the "typical" sorority experience understood through a white lens. This is uncomfortable to consider, but it is true.
Second, we believe that we must consider—and change—the systems and norms within the Panhellenic community that have historically benefited and centered the experiences of white women and women of privilege, more generally.
The manner in which we respond to this second area will determine whether we will ultimately make progress in the first. We know that many of our member organizations are already engaging in some of this work. As a board, we recognize these changes at the organizational level must reflect each organizations' values, culture and sense of purpose. However, as a Panhellenic community, we must acknowledge that we are tied together, and creating lasting change will require each of us to re-evaluate long-standing assumptions about how we operate, recruit and support collegiate sorority women.
Third, as a Panhellenic community, we have an obligation and responsibility to empower our members and volunteers and to openly discuss race and racial injustice.
For many of us in the Panhellenic community, we become reserved and hesitant when race or racism are discussed. In many cases, we have been taught that "we don't see color" or to "treat everyone equally." These feelings and sentiments are sometimes understandable and often well-intended, but—as the members of the board have learned—their effect is to ignore and brush aside the many ways that race does shape our society and create unequal experiences within our community. If we are to prepare and empower young women as future leaders, and particularly if we are going to fully embrace BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) and LGBTQ+ Panhellenic women, we must no longer shy away from or be fearful of these critical conversations.
As we consider each of these areas, and others that will no doubt arise, we also ask for some grace. We, as a community, will stumble as we work to find our way. But our hope is that we can drive real change that reinforces the foundational values and strength of the Panhellenic experience.
In the near term, this will likely mean difficult and meaningful conversations, the creation of new resources and a commitment to support and work with College Panhellenics as we consider the themes addressed in this note. In the long term, it will require us to continue critical conversations with our Black and Brown sisters, as well as those who advocate for and support them, in order to develop and implement new approaches, policies, agreements and expectations.
For more than 100 years, the National Panhellenic Conference has been an organization that advances the sorority experience together. It is clearer than ever before that our ability to do that effectively now—and to empower collegiate women in the current moment—calls us to reimagine what "together" truly means.
We are humbled by the many comments and experiences shared within our community in recent weeks, and we remain optimistic about our ability to join together in creating a welcoming, inclusive Panhellenic community that our current and future members deserve.

The negative price of oil on the international market a few months ago did not cause any drop at the pump in Haiti.
The fact that the government continued to subsidize petroleum products, except for two imports, put flea to the ear and highlights the need, in the name of economy to make, of a "cleaning of the price structure" of petroleum products, said Michel Patrick Boisvert, Haiti's minister of finance to the morning show onMagik (100.9 FM) , Tuesday June 9, 2020.
The microscope of the price structure, revealed the minister, made it possible to fall on the rose pot: costs not included in the price structure but borne by the treasury; the perception of "gains, of sudden" by the oil companies importing their products themselves since April 2019 and which themselves fix "exaggerated premiums" also paid by the State.
Storage costs paid, absent from the price structure…
Storage costs are not included in the price structure. "In the price structure, there are costs that were not taken into account. We are talking about storage. When the product arrives, it is stored in Varreux, Thor or Martissant. These are separate trades. You don't see anywhere you pay for it. But there are costs associated with these activities … These are costs that must be taken into account if we want to have a realistic structure, "said Boisvert, Minister of Economy and Finance, who announced that there will be no more finance charges in the new pricing structure.

This is probably one of the most annoying things to happen while at work. Today around noon the power went out in a block in Shuweikh. Some buildings around the area had power, but other buildings didn't have power. They say it wasn't Tarsheed just randomly shutting down areas instead it was problem they were having.
The building slowly got hotter and hotter, I was running between two buildings since the phones were out. We were making phone calls on our cell phones. Only those of us who had laptops could still do some work, and those who had desktops couldn't really do anything. What was becoming unbearable was the heat, at least outside you are moving but inside when your sitting down working, and the heat is increasing. By 3:30pm I couldn't be productive anymore since my laptop power was about to come to end and I got enough of the heat and decided to head out early. I'm not even sure when the power was going to come back up.

The Curriculum Advisory Panel meet at the zoo three times per year to review new projects, activities and identify changes to curriculum, exam specifications or other factors influencing schools that could have an effect of the way the zoo works with them. Members come from across the primary and secondary school sectors and represent a wide variety of school settings, disciplines, subjects and teaching roles. Most are in senior positions and/or are very active in education sector networks, with advisory bodies or teacher training organisations. Between them they ensure that the Chester Zoo team have a direct link to what is happening in schools and that we can design our programmes in response.
Through the meetings, panel members are able to find out what is happening at the zoo, gain early access to resources, develop their own subject knowledge and network with experts from a wide range of disciplines. Panel membership is a voluntary position, although reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed.
What we're looking for

Crazy Day!
The Commander went upstairs and noticed that our builder was working out in the goat barn. He was adding additional support to the loft, very nice of him. With him out there working in the cold guilt quickly set in so both the Commander and I went outside to do a few chores and to chat. I had no idea how cold it was out there.
The next thing I knew an audio alarm started to go off - a fire alarm from the house? I rushed in and realized that the sound was coming from the OUTSIDE. What the heck? I walked around the side of the house and saw the alarm light on the septic mound and found the source of the alarm. I went inside and called our neighbor (who runs a septic company) and through some miracle he was home and said he would be right over. On Sunday morning! He arrived and stated that we were lucky to get him as he is flying to Florida first thing Monday morning. After a bit of trouble shooting he found that the pump was bad. As luck would have it he had one at home! Thirty minutes later he returned and everything up and running - whew.
So the goat loft was now reinforced, the septic pump was replaced, what next? My hay guy called and wanted to deliver 100 bales. My hay guy is the greatest. He not only delivered but he was able to drive the hay wagon first to the goat barn then over to the sheep barn. This allowed us to cut down on wheel barrow time and load the goat, buck and sheep barns directly from the truck! The Commander only had to haul 26 bales to the Ram barn - much easier. I spend most of my day stacking hay in four different lofts, I'm exhausted.
Just as we were finishing up the Commander noticed Dominick walking around inside his barn with the oatmeal tube stuck on his head. He somehow worked the cap off the tube and jammed his head inside to eat the grain stored there, ugh. That meant he needed to get some probiotics to prevent bloat.
As I was finishing up that chore the Commander called me over to the Rams. Both Killarney and Hoss had large bloody gashes over their eyes. After a bit more doctoring I was done for the day, I'm dead tired.
The Commander put everyone away tonight and he said everyone had noticeable hay bellies, that happens here on hay delivery days. I'm sure the barns will all be full a poo tomorrow morning.

It seems that there is always some new challenge just around the corner on an acreage! Wouldn't have it any other way. If only the cash output would balance the cash input more often!ReplyDelete
Wow...you are super lucky to have a neighbor that happened to have a pump at home with him! Septic issues are never fun :/ReplyDelete
Glad everyone is doctored up and where they belong....and the oatmeal boxes are off their heads....:)
Hmmm, glad I don't have a pump on my septic system, that would just be one more thing to wrong for me. Thank goodness it was not a fire alarm. So glad you could get hay to where you need it, so much nicer that trying to do it by wheelbarrow, especially in the winter.ReplyDelete

Definitely a busy day! Glad all ended well.ReplyDelete
Ian - I figure breaking even is making a profit!ReplyDelete
Stace - I wish I could have gotten a picture of Dominic with the oatmeal tube on his head, it somehow fits what has been going on around here.
Tombstone - We actually make ice paths in the Winter so moving the hay is possible. Winter here is longer than the loft hay supply can hold - unfortunately.
Teresa - I slept like a log!

Elizabeth Parbutt at Made by Marketing (www.madebymarketing.co.uk) is celebrating her first win of a four-year marketing and PR contract!
She will be promoting Connect: Resound(www.connectresound.org.uk), a flagship digital music education project conceived to help ensure that children in rural areas don't miss out on music-making opportunities. It is often expensive and time-consuming for music teachers to travel to remote schools so Connect: Resound solves the problem by providing virtual, real-time music lessons with a local teacher.
In this latest phase, Connect: Resound will continue to combat rural isolation but also look at how the technology can help children facing additional challenging circumstances, such as mental health issues and looked after children.

|Release 0.9.0 - Release
|Jul 17th 2000 Mike Phillips
|1.2.0 - Final
|Feb 17th 2002 Mike Phillips
|Updated for submission to the 2.4.x kernel.
|Terry Murphy from 3Com for tech docs and support,
|Adam D. Ligas for testing the driver.
|This driver will NOT work with the 3C339 Token Ring cards, you need
|to use the tms380 driver instead.
|The driver accepts three options: ringspeed, pkt_buf_sz and message_level.
|These options can be specified differently for each card found.
|ringspeed: Has one of three settings 0 (default), 4 or 16. 0 will
|make the card autosense the ringspeed and join at the appropriate speed,
|this will be the default option for most people. 4 or 16 allow you to
|explicitly force the card to operate at a certain speed. The card will fail
|if you try to insert it at the wrong speed. (Although some hubs will allow
|this so be *very* careful). The main purpose for explicitly setting the ring
|speed is for when the card is first on the ring. In autosense mode, if the card
|cannot detect any active monitors on the ring it will open at the same speed as
|its last opening. This can be hazardous if this speed does not match the speed
|you want the ring to operate at.
|pkt_buf_sz: This is this initial receive buffer allocation size. This will
|default to 4096 if no value is entered. You may increase performance of the
|driver by setting this to a value larger than the network packet size, although
|the driver now re-sizes buffers based on MTU settings as well.
|message_level: Controls level of messages created by the driver. Defaults to 0:
|which only displays start-up and critical messages. Presently any non-zero
|value will display all soft messages as well. NB This does not turn
|debugging messages on, that must be done by modified the source code.
|Variable MTU size:
|The driver can handle a MTU size upto either 4500 or 18000 depending upon
|ring speed. The driver also changes the size of the receive buffers as part
|of the mtu re-sizing, so if you set mtu = 18000, you will need to be able
|to allocate 16 * (sk_buff with 18000 buffer size) call it 18500 bytes per ring
|position = 296,000 bytes of memory space, plus of course anything
|necessary for the tx sk_buff's. Remember this is per card, so if you are
|building routers, gateway's etc, you could start to use a lot of memory
|real fast.

Heavy criticism was showered upon the New Jersey governor, Chris Christie after he had been photographed relaxing on a beach that he had ordered to close to the public.
Due to a standstill on the budget, after the fourth of July, the non-essential services were closed to the public which included the Island State Beach Park. The photographs of Chris Christie, enjoying a peaceful day with his family on this beach instigated criticism from every corner of the state. While Chris Christie had a great day with his family at the beach, the other visitors were averted by the police.
Christie, in an effort to defend his actions, told the reporters that he already had plans of spending this day with his family at his beach property.
The governor of New Jersey faces censures
Christie reported that he had been staying with his family at the governor's residence and he was on his way to work in the state helicopter. Moreover, Christie's spokesman, Brian Murray, admitted to the reporters that Christie had been there on the beach for a minute or two, having a chat with his wife before heading for work.
Memes and Twitter jokes swarmed the web, as soon as the photo capturing Chris Christie resting comfortably on a lounge was released.
Why was the Island State Beach Park closed?
Alongside the state's budget, Chris Christie had ordered the New Jersey legislators to pass a health insurance bill.
As the bill was not passed, the non-essential services were shut down for the public.
Mr. Christie had been trying his best to get the Horizon Cross Blue Shield, the state's largest health insurer, to provide for $300 million. Chris was planning on using some of the amounts in the fight against drug addictions. New Jersey was one the nine states that couldn't meet the budget deadlines by the onset of the month.
More about Chris Christie
Chris Christie was the first among the Republicans to announce his support for Donald Trump as the president. This revelation stunned the political world. Also, his claims denying any knowledge about the Bridgegate, the political scandal of motivated traffic jams, surprised the world.
The rude side of Chris Christie's persona came to the forefront when he asked a badgerer to sit down and shut up during a press conference.
He had teased his rival Marco Rubio on a debate stage, telling the audience that Marco Rubio was being robotic.
Criticism also arose in 2015, when people considered his motives to be disloyal, as he cheered for his beloved Dallas Cowboys.

CD19 and Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) may function along common signaling pathways in regulating intrinsic and B cell Ag receptor (BCR)-induced signals. To identify physical and functional interactions between CD19 and Btk, a CD19-negative variant of the A20 B cell line was isolated, and CD19-deficient (CD19-1-) and CD19-overexpressing mice with the X-linked immunodeficient (Xid; Btk) mutation were generated. In A20 cells, Btk physically associated with CD19 following BCR engagement. CD19 and Btk interactions were not required for initial Btk phosphorylation, but CD19 expression maintained Btk in an activated state following BCR engagement. In primary B cells, CD19 signaling also required downstream Btk function since CD19-induced intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) responses were modest in Xid B cells. In addition, CD19 overexpression did not normalize the Xid phenotype and most phenotypic and functional hallmarks of CD19 overexpression were not evident in these mice. However, CD19 and Btk also regulate independent signaling pathways since their combined loss had additive inhibitory effects on BCR-induced [Ca2+]i responses and CD19 deficiency induced a severe immunodeficiency in Xid mice. Thus, CD19 expression amplifies or prolongs Btk-mediated signaling, rather than serving as a required agent for Btk activation. Consistent with this, phosphatidyl-inositol 3-monophosphate kinase and Akt activation were normal in CD19-1- B cells following IgM engagement, although their kinetics of activation was altered. Thus, these biochemical and compound gene dosage studies indicate that Btk activation and [Ca2+]i responses following BCR engagement are regulated through multiple pathways, including a CD19/Src family kinase-dependent pathway that promotes the longevity of Btk signaling.

Finding a bridesmaids dress that everyone will love is about as likely as winning Oz Lotto but you'll at least be able to keep some of them as friends after the wedding if you…
Give Lots of Leeway
If you're having the bridesmaids dress in the same style, allow them to choose the color of it. By doing so, they'll be able to select a shade that complements their skin tones and hair coloring. Alternatively, if you would like them to be in the same hue to match the wedding décor let them choose the style that flatters them the most.
Be a Fabric Fairy
Gone are the days when a bride could force her bridesmaids to dress in a puffy taffeta creation. The designers of bridesmaid's dresses are now using better quality fabrics like duping silk, chiffon, satin, velvet and crepe so select one that will make your bridesmaids feel sleek and sexy rather than frumpy and resentful. If you're having the bridesmaid's dresses made, try Bloom Fabrics in Melbourne, http://www.brideonline.com.au/bloomfabrics/default.htm, who use an exquisite range of designer wedding fabrics including hand beaded silks, laces, georgettes and chiffons selected from the finest textile houses in Europe and Asia for their made-to-measure garments.
Consider the Costs
Traditionally the attendants pay for their own wedding dresses so don't expect them to shell out a fortune for the honour of standing by your side. A good compromise is to hire the bridesmaid dresses. After Five Formals in Brisbane, http://www.brideonline.com.au/qld/afterfive/, have an extensive range of bridesmaid gowns for hire with prices starting as low as $85.
Shop En Masse
Never take all your attendants with you to shop for the bridesmaids dresses. They'll never agree on anything and it will just cause conflict between them. Take just your maid/matron of honour – there's a reason why people say 'too many chefs spoil the broth'.
Be a FuddyDuddy
Dress your bridesmaids in this season's hottest colors. Platinum is very in at the moment as is sand, taupe, orange and fuchsia. Experiment with design too. Designer Lisa Merton of Culture Shock in Melbourne, http://www.brideonline.com.au/nsw/cultureshock/, draws inspiration from both Australia's multicultural lifestyle and her travels around the world to create eclectic but stunning designs for the bold bride. Creative embroidery, delicate beading, Swarovski crystals and ethnic jewelry are combined with exquisite Indian saris, dramatic Japanese kimonos and fine European laces to make her fresh and original bridesmaid dresses.
Leave Things Until the Last Minute
With all the discussions and disagreements that go with selecting a bridesmaid gown, it's tempting to leave the decision until the last minute and then order your attendants into any old dress. However, bridesmaid's dresses should be chosen at least five months before the wedding to allow time for alterations.
