Wizards Add Depth Down Low
WASHINGTON – The Washington Wizards have shored up some of their depth concerns with nine players out, including Thomas Bryant, due to injury and ended up addressing the frontcourt Saturday after acquiring Alex Len and Jordan Bell on Saturday.
"I've always liked (Len's) game from afar," Brooks said. "It's good to have him here. You don't realize how big and agile he is; he did a pretty good job picking up things up today."
The former University of Maryland product previously played seven games with the Toronto Raptors before being released Tuesday.
This will be his fourth stop in two seasons after spending time with the Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings, and the Raptors. After clearing waivers, the Ukrainian big man signed a one-year minimum deal with the Wizards.
Washington Wizards Head coach Scott Brooks values Len's experience while also commending his length, rim protection, and shooting, noting his success from the charity stripe. Most importantly, Len is still young, 27, playing his eighth season in the NBA.
"Washington with all the coaching staff, coach (David Adkins), Ryan Richmond, my guys from [the University of] Maryland, it was a fairly easy decision coming here," Len said. "The role here is, with TB out, it's definitely going to be some opportunities and minutes to play."
The other signee, Bell, previously played for the Capital City Go-Go before the G-League was suspended, but the Cleveland Cavaliers acquired him in June. Bell was eventually be traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in November but waived the next day. He has yet to play this season.
Bell has averaged 3.8 points and 3.1 rebounds per game in his three-year career while playing 156 games for the Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies.
Meanwhile, Len has averaged 7.9 points and 6.2 rebounds per game while shooting .512 from the field in 474 career games (185 starts) over eight seasons.
The two new players' presence is welcome for the Wizards, who have been practicing with nine players as recently as Friday.

One of the UK's leading children's charities has teamed up with an acclaimed firm of solicitors to produce a series of free, online, webinars offering the families of disabled children legal guidance on a range of topics that are relevant to them.
Caudwell Children, the national charity that provides practical and emotional support to disabled children and their families, has worked with its official legal services partner, Irwin Mitchell, to produce the webinars which will be broadcast live via the Zoom platform.
The first webinar, The Impact of COVID-19 on Education and Social Care, will take place at 7.00pm on Wednesday 10th June, 2020, and will be 45-60 minutes in duration.
The webinar, which will be hosted and delivered by Steven Baylis, and Emma Rush, from Irwin Mitchell, will cover the important topic of education, and will give an overview of the legal rights of families to access educational support and learning during the current coronavirus lockdown.
Mr Baylis, is a highly respected Associate Solicitor specialising in education and community care law, and cases in the Court of Protection that involve mental capacity, best interests, and deprivation of liberty.
He often represents families in Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunals, and challenges local authority decisions including the refusal to conduct educational, health and care needs assessments.
Ms Rush, is a partner within the Medical Negligence team at Irwin Mitchell's Birmingham office and has represented many families where children have been left with significant disabilities due to injuries sustained at birth.
"We're delighted to be able to offer this invaluable resource to the families that we support, along with the wider community," said Trudi Beswick, CEO of Caudwell Children. "Parents and carers will be able to watch, in an accessible format, a series of talks on key legal topics affecting them, and they will be able to interact and ask direct questions themselves."
The inaugural webinar, which looks at the impact that the coronavirus has had on education and social care, will look at: What has changed, what remains the same, and what this means Local Authorities can and cannot do during the current health crisis.
Legal advice can be costly so Mrs Beswick is hoping that parents will take advantage of the opportunity to access the free legal platform. As she explained: "Having a child with a disability, or a serious injury or illness, can have an emotional and physical impact that can be life changing. Legal advice can help parents to access the best medical care, rehabilitation and support that their child needs, so it's important that parents take advantage of this unique service which will be delivered by experts in their field."
The webinars illustrate how Caudwell Children has adapted its services during the global pandemic to enable it to continue supporting dabbled children and their families.
Following the first webinar the charity's Family Services team will seek feedback from participants about what topics they want to cover in future.

BRUSSELS, March 9 (Reuters) – The Czech Republic has invited transport ministers from 11 European Union counties to meet in Brussels on Monday to discuss emissions-cutting policies, amid a dispute over the bloc's landmark policy to shift to electric vehicles.
Invited to the meeting are Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia and Finland, an EU official told Reuters. It is not yet confirmed which ministers will attend.
The meeting was initially planned to discuss a proposed EU law to tighten limits for vehicle emissions of health-harming pollutants like nitrogen oxides – a policy known as Euro 7. The Czech Republic, some other countries and industry groups have said they want to change it, calling it unrealistic and questioning the environmental benefits the law would bring.
But some EU officials said they now expect the meeting to discuss the countries' stance on the EU's law to end sales of new CO2-emitting cars in 2035. The bloc's main policy to speed up Europe's shift to electric vehicles got put on hold after Germany declared last-minute opposition to it.
Czech transport Minister Martin Kupka said last week, after meeting his German couterpart Volker Wissing in Berlin, that the country wanted changes to the 2035 ban on new CO2-emitting cars.
"We will not support the limitation of combustion engines after 2035, unless there will be a clear and binding exemption for synthetic fuels," Kupka said on Twitter.
Germany's transport ministry last week demanded reassurances that sales be allowed of new cars with internal combustion engines after 2035, if they run on CO2-neutral fuels.
The intervention surprised policymakers, since the European Parliament, the Commission and EU member states already agreed the car CO2 law last year after months of negotiations.
The policy was set to enter into force after a final vote this week, which was cancelled after Germany's opposition and has not yet been rescheduled.
Other opponents of the car CO2 law include Italy, Poland and a handful of other countries whose ranks have swelled since Europe's biggest economy signalled its opposition, EU officials said – raising the possibility of enough support to block it.

There are some basic guidelines that we can all follow in the prevention of security breaches. For example, employees can be trained to not click on any shady e-mails. They would very well contain malicious software that can cause significant damage to online businesses.
People at large have to be taught about the risks involved and all the tricks of the trade like combination passwords and altered URL's so they can be well prepared for what's awaiting them.
- There should be a proper security plan at hand in times of emergency so there is immediate response.
- There should be test and trial functions for all cyber security software in order to ensure complete serviceability minus errors.
- There should be a security code for all devices, including your mobile phones.
- One should stay updated on all security features. This is key in resolving many issues.
- To be aware of all security issues. Mandatory training will help employees and management to understand governance issues and be acquainted with security concerns so they can take action accordingly.
- A security clause has to be provided with all contracts to make sure that employees are aware of what they're dealing with.
- Security procedure is imperative in the enhancement of the reputation of the organization. This can also build trust between companies.
- At the time of sales, you can assure your clients that you have a security plan.
You don't have to be a technical prodigy to be a cyber security expert. It requires knowledge, skills and immediate responsiveness to any online threats. By simply utilizing all three assets, one can easily avert any form of security breach in the system, thus preventing companies from incurring huge losses.
Human slip-ups and their consequences
Professional hackers can purposefully penetrate the security framework of the software but they don't essentially depend on only this. One might ask, "What's the other?"
Well, its human error. As human beings, we are all flawed and habitually make mistakes in our daily lives and this is what cyber attackers mainly prey upon.
This is precisely why training through companies like Elijah is a compulsory need for all employees in big corporations. They must be fed insight on how even a seemingly inconsequential mistake can be a recipe for disaster. Cyber attacks are becoming increasingly common with technological advancement so it pays for employees to be notified on these issues.

Synopsis : Join a beekeeping association, get a mentor, get local bees, manage your hopes and expectations, get your bees through the winter. Simples.
Three years ago I wrote a post on "Start(ing) beekeeping" courses. That was mainly written from the perspective of the tutor. As with many posts on this site, it was read a lot at the time and then rapidly sank down the rankings, being overtaken by posts on swarm control, Varroa management and queen cells … all topics that should have been covered in a course on how to start beekeeping.
Hmmm? … I wonder why that is?
Today's post is about the same topic, but from the perspective of the beginner.
What should you be doing and what should you not be doing?
What should you expect from your first beekeeping season?
This is different from what you might hope for.
It's important that you manage your expectations (or someone manages them) as the alternative might well be disillusionment.
Hope for well-tempered bees, balmy summer days filled with the contented buzz of busy foragers 1, and a whopping honey crop to jar for friends and family (and the local shops).
Expect disappointing weather, temperamental bees and possibly even lost swarms, several head-scratching "WTF? I don't understand … 🙁 " moments, worry and – perhaps – some honey.
Nothing like enough to recoup your expenditure, insufficient for your family, let alone your friends, but enough to call yourself a beekeeper.
Except … not so fast.
To call yourself a beekeeper I'd argue that you need to get your bees through their first winter.
This last part is so important it should be the primary goal of your first season.
Everything else is a bonus.
Beekeeping involves practical skills
And, unfortunately, you cannot learn these in a draughty church hall on alternate Wednesday evenings, or by reading and re-reading Ted Hooper's Guide to bees and honey over the Christmas holidays.
At best you can learn the theory from books or from a beginners course.
The theory is useful, don't get me wrong, but it's no substitute for doing a few hundred hive inspections and keeping good notes over several seasons.
The books or a Powerpoint presentation cannot convey the weight differences between frames of stores, sealed or open brood, the subtle – and sometimes not so subtle 😉 – difference in behaviour of a queenright and queenless hive, or the physicality of colony inspections in high summer.
They can describe them, but that's not the same as experiencing them.
One thing they are particularly poor at conveying is the feelings experienced when you open your first really full hive.
For some 'beekeepers' this is the last beekeeping they do.
The 'sheer weight of numbers' can be a bit overwhelming for some people.
They like the idea of being a beekeeper, but not the weekly interactions with tens of thousands of insects.
Beekeeping 'taster' days
Many local beekeeping associations run a 'beekeeping taster day' sometime in late spring or early summer. For £30 (or whatever … I'm probably hopelessly out of date) you receive a short introductory talk, before getting dolled up in a profoundly unflattering beesuit and shown the rudiments of using a smoker.
You then both observe and take part in a hive inspection.
An experienced beekeeper will open the hive and talk you through the first few frames, but then you'll be handed the hive tool and helped to 'have a go'.
If you're lucky the 'taster' day will end, appropriately, with a honey (and mead) tasting session.
I think these are an ideal way to see if you suit beekeeping.
If you recoil at the sight of thousands of flying, crawling, stinging 2 insects then you have the answer. Try watercolour painting, or metal detecting or mixed martial arts instead … and thank me for saving you the additional £970 it would have cost to get you started as a beekeeper.
However, if – as I hope – you find the sight and smell and sound of a hive captivating, if the hive inspection is finished well before you've asked all the questions you want to, and if you wonder why you've wasted the first forty years of your life as a watercolorist, a detectorist or a cage fighter, then Welcome! 3.
These taster days have to be held when the weather is good and the bees are calm 4, perhaps seven months before the winter 'start beekeeping' courses. It's a pity they cannot be juxtaposed.
Join your local beekeeping association
Beekeeping is an essentially local activity. The bees forage within a radius of 2-3 km of the apiary. The available forage influences how the colony develops as the season progresses, the local weather determines which trees and flowers grow and produce nectar, and when that nectar is produced.
Local beekeepers know about these things and are best placed to provide help and advice. Any training they provide will be 'biased' (for want of a better word) to local conditions. They've dealt with the variably late springs, or the nectar dearth in June, or the 'boom and bust' nature of beekeeping in intensively farmed land.
Many beekeepers are very sociable, enjoying a long chat over a cup of tea and biscuits.
You might not be, and you don't have to be, but access to the wealth of local advice will be invaluable during your formative months and years as a beekeeper.
I fully expect a comment to the affect
"Nonsense … I was given a swarm in a box in 1980 and am entirely self-taught. Never joined the local BKA and never wanted to. I learn from my mistakes and a library book 5".
All no doubt true, but that does not mean that the learning process wouldn't have been smoother, or perhaps faster, with a little local assistance.
And it might have been a bit more enjoyable as well.
Remember also that the introduction of Varroa in '92 made overwintering colonies significantly more difficult, and – three decades on – it remains the biggest problem for beekeepers.
You will also get ample opportunity to learn from your mistakes, even with help from the local association.
Attend a 'start beekeeping' course
Although I started by saying that, as a practical activity, you cannot learn beekeeping in a lecture theatre, the general principles of beekeeping are important and can be taught in classes, or learned from books. These principles include things like the:
- development cycle of queens, workers and drones
- fundamentals of swarm control (not the to and fro shuffling of boxes in a Pagden's artificial swarm, but the principles that underpin most swarm control methods; separation of old workers and the queen from young workers and brood/queen cells … or preferably queen cell singular)
- apiary hygiene
- rational Varroa control and what happens if it is ignored
You can acquire all this knowledge from a good beekeeping book in the company of a wood-burning stove and a large glass of Barolo.
In fact, I'd strongly recommend you do this anyway.
But I'd also recommend you attend a 'start beekeeping' course run by your local beekeeping association. You'll meet local beekeepers, you'll make friends, you'll get advice on equipment and apiaries and you'll eat a lot of chocolate biscuits.
But I don't think it's necessary to attend one of these winter course before starting keeping bees. If your association runs evening/weekend apiary sessions and allows you to tag along then do so. Attend the course the following winter, but don't delay the opportunity to do some practical beekeeping if offered the chance.
Get a mentor
If your local association does not offer some type of mentoring system then move house to an area with an association that does.
Use Rightmove or Zoopla to find somewhere suitable.
Clearly 6 I'm not being serious … but it does reflect how important I think mentoring is.
An association that doesn't offer some form of active mentoring to all trainees underestimates the difficulties beginners experience and their need, over at least 1-2 seasons, to have some practical help and advice readily available.
Alternatively (or – even worse – as well), the association is offering too many places on the 'start beekeeping' course to provide the necessary follow-up support.
These courses can be lucrative; 50 places at £100 per person is a welcome boost to association coffers, but effective training involves more than 8 evenings in the church hall with tea and biscuits 7.
Are there 25-50 association members available and willing to provide mentoring for those beginners? Remember, the association probably ran the course last year for the same number … who will still need mentoring as they are probably about to get their first experience of swarming.
And, while I'm on the subject, can the association provide nucleus colonies to all the beginners they train? I think mentoring and the provision of nucs are important, and sometimes overlooked, responsibilities. I'll return to nucs shortly.
Walk before you can run
Beekeeping is a broad church. All sorts of people get involved and there are all sorts of ways to keep bees. These include the type of hive used e.g. removable frame hives – Nationals, Langstroths, Smiths – top bar hives, skeps, tree hives etc and the methods used to manage the bees in those hives.
The majority of beekeepers in the UK use what I would consider 'standard' management methods – a removable frame hive on which interventions for swarm control are employed and in which Varroa levels are minimised with appropriately used miticides.
But some beekeepers practice and promote others ways of keeping bees; encouraging swarming and avoiding the use of any chemical treatments.
I don't think these management methods are suitable for beginners. Both are likely to result in the loss of colonies. Most swarms do not survive and it takes exceptional skill to keep bees without chemical miticide control.
I know some associations already promote 'treatment free' beekeeping on their winter courses for beginners. I worry about the survival rate of the colonies … and the proportion of beginners that eventually become beekeepers.
My suggestions would always be to learn to keep bees using the 'mainstream' methods before trying alternatives.
You might like the idea of keeping bees in skeps, eschewing chemical treatment and allowing them to swarm freely. After all, that's more natural 8. However, you'll only become a beekeeper if you don't lose your colonies through swarming or disease.
And if you do repeatedly lose your bees, you're much more likely to become disillusioned with beekeeping and abandon it for something easier, like quantum physics or ultramarathons.
Become competent in the widely-used mainstream methods of honey bee management and then, by all means, try something different.
Learn one method and learn it well
I've discussed this topic recently. Learn the principles that underpin a management method e.g. swarm control, and learn one way of employing those principles to achieve a successful outcome.
Use it, and use it again.
Use it until it becomes second nature, until you can totally depend upon it working, until you understand all the subtleties and nuances, the wrinkles and caveats.
I see little benefit in an association teaching Pagden's artificial swarm and the Demaree method and a nucleus method of swarm control. It might make sense to an experienced beekeeper 9 but beginners will inevitably get confused.
The winter course might feel more comprehensive, but if attendees are just getting bamboozled by all the options then it's not really helping them.
Personally, although it's slightly unusual in that it doesn't exploit the separation of [old bees + queen] from [young bees + brood], I'd teach the nucleus method of swarm control. It's easy to understand, uses a minimum of additional equipment and – done properly – is 100% effective.
You also get a 'free' nuc from it … which conveniently brings me to … 10
Source local bees
Scientific evidence showed that, in a Europe-wide study, local bees did better than bees that were imported. The data indicated that they were better able to tolerate Varroa and that the colonies were larger when they went into winter. Other scientific evidence clearly demonstrates that strong colonies overwinter better than weak ones.
For these reasons alone it makes sense to source local bees when you start beekeeping. Buy a nuc from someone in your association, or offer to help your mentor for the season and get 'paid' with a nuc (you helped split) the following spring. An overwintered local nuc is probably the best option …
Alternatively, put your name down for a swarm and be prepared to go on a few trips to capture one.
Perhaps also put out a bait hive and one might well come to you.
Over the last decade or so I've rarely encountered a really poor quality swarm. They certainly can occur, but the majority would – after a careful check of Varroa levels and other pathogens – be fine for a beginner.
Your mentor will help you with those checks … er, you have got a mentor, haven't you?
Have patience
Don't be in too much of a hurry to get your first bees.
Assuming 'normal' spring weather the difference in getting your bees in early April or late May is irrelevant. Neither will get you any honey from the spring nectar. In addition, the weather is often rather changeable in April making your first few, slow, careful hive inspections stressful for the bees as the brood gets chilled. You'll hold the colony back and not gain much useful experience.
Wait until the weather is better and nucs headed by a current year queen are available.
In Scotland that might be at least late June.
Of course, many beginners will choose to ignore this advice … they'll order a nuc from one of the large commercial suppliers and collect it as early as possible. The bees may well not have been in the box very long, and the queen is likely to be imported.
By any definition these are not local bees … and they certainly won't be in 3-4 weeks as all the bees will be then from the introduced queen. Will the seller provide help if things go awry?
The price of early-season nucs 11 reflects the demand, not necessarily the quality or suitability for a new beekeeper.
Your first season
I briefly touched on hopes and expectations earlier. Let's finish by looking at a messy combination of these masquerading as what I consider priorities for the season:
- Successfully overwinter your colony. This has to be the priority as without it you have to start all over again. Successful overwintering requires three basic things:
- a healthy colony with low Varroa and virus levels
- a strong colony
- sufficient stores to maintain the colony through the winter
- Pathogen management, which 90% of the time means monitoring and treating (if needed) Varroa. Learn how to spot signs of virus damage and how to count mite levels in the colony. Understand the advantages and limitations of the various treatments that are available. Learn when to apply them for maximum effect, so that you use them as little as possible.
- Acquire the skills needed to judge the colony. Is it queenright? Are there the expected ratios of eggs, open brood and sealed brood? Is the colony expanding? Learn how to identify queen cells – even the carefully hidden ones – and to distinguish between play cups and charged cells. Try and understand the link between environmental conditions and colony temperament … which additional means you need to …
- Learn how to confidently and competently inspect the colony without overly disturbing or distressing the bees. Only then will you be able to distinguish between a clumsy inspection and a poorly tempered colony, or a usually well-behaved colony that is tetchy because it's queenless (there are other, more definitive, signs) or because the nectar flow has dried up.
- 100 kg of honey per hive … if you're gonna dream, dream BIG! In a normal season you should expect some honey from a spring-bought nuc, but consider it a bonus.
Your second season
Assuming you started the previous year with a late spring or early summer nuc (or a swarm) then this is likely to be the first season your colony will attempt to swarm.
Since it is preferable to have two colonies 12 – the comparative performance makes judging problems or environmental changes much easier – the logical thing to do is to use a swarm control method that creates a second colony.
The previously mentioned nucleus method, classic Pagden, or a vertical split will all readily achieve this.
What's more, any of these three – conducted at the appropriate time for your local climate and forage – should barely interrupt the spring nectar collection. This means that you should get a spring and summer crop in many areas.
Apart from that it's more of the same and steady as she goes.
Priorities 1-4 (above) remain equally important in your second season.
And sometime late in that second season, as you pile up the now emptied supers in the shed for year 3 (and consider buying an additional shed as you need the storage space), take a moment to congratulate yourself upon becoming a successful beekeeper 🙂 .
Don't fool yourself that you know it all, or even that you know enough.
You don't.
But I don't either and I did all of the above about 15 years ago and am still learning.

Blah, blah, blah … I don't think anyone reads this far down and at least two people signed up to Facebook notifications last week.

Fort Worth Museum of Science and History
The history of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History is a fascinating one and it's safe to say that the museum's evolution has been nonetheless fascinating as well. To get a full picture of the museum's history one must start out in 1939 where a council of women in education sought to establish a museum that would facilitate children's learning.
Two years later in 1941, a charter was sought from the State of Texas to establish a children's museum and in 1945, with the assistance of the Fort Worth school board, space was established at De Zavahala Elementary school for a children's museum.
Naturally, the museum continued to grow and grow quickly. In 1947 it was moved to the R.E. Harding House.
The fairly newly established museum continued its growth and yet once again, an even bigger space was needed to accommodate more guests and exhibits and even a planetarium. Thus in 1952 ground was broken for the construction of an even larger facility that would accommodate all the needs of the museum and its young guests.
Construction was swift with the new museum opening its doors in 1954 and then a year later the first planetarium in the region was opened: The Charlie Mary Noble Planetarium where guests could enjoy the wonder of the stars without venturing into the remote wilderness to avoid light pollution.
In 1968 museum management decided that it wanted to make the museum accessible to more than just kids, specifically to adults that didn't have any children. Thus as a first step, the name of the museum was changed to Fort Worth Museum of Science and history. Permanent exhibits of geology, zoology, natural sciences, biology, medicine, computers, art and history were put into place that were geared to all ages.
Names like "Rocks and Fossils", "History of Medicine" and Texas History were all given permanent homes. In 1983 the first Omni/Imax dome theatre was opened which continued the exciting evolution of the museum's history. Further changes were made over time and some of the best world-class travelling exhibits come and go making the museum, in and of itself, world-class. So if you are visiting Fort Worth, the museum is a MUST SEE DESTINATION.
As can be expected, the temporary closure of exhibits to the public is ongoing but some in-person school programs still remain. That being said, the museum is ready to open again once everything is safe.
Check out the museum online though as there are many other online activities and exhibits to seek out and there are daily online activities to celebrate Earth day. Check out the upcoming events and remember that COVID won't last forever, especially with vaccines rolling out.
So if you are planning a trip to Fort Worth down the road, just remember the museum is world-class and you don't want to miss it!

We need parks and spaces along our rivers to support crowd-drawing events like dragonboat races.
To increase tourism and entertainment on Chicago's rivers, we need new parks with performance spaces, expanded riverfront trails and water taxi service that connect neighborhoods, and revised land use policies that support compatible, river-friendly uses.
"We can develop stronger connections by having boats go further up and down the river. Instead of just touring architecture downtown, boats could connect people to unique neighborhood culture."
—Focus group participant
"We could get more for our investments if we consider all 12 months! Minnesota and Quebec embrace winter with riverfront activities."
We will encourage local entrepreneurs to offer an array of river-based concessions: waterfront restaurants and cafes with food and drink reflective of our diverse neighborhoods, recreational experiences such as yoga and BBQ classes, and places to rent and store equipment like kayaks and fishing poles. Creating more formal ways for people to influence riverfront programming, such as new Park Advisory Councils for riverfront parks, will engage a broad range of stakeholders in activating our rivers. These activities harness the economic benefit from having inviting riverfronts and living rivers, and build support for further protecting and improving ecological conditions.
The sky's the limit for expanding river tours beyond downtown: Tours on the Calumet and South Branch of the Chicago rivers could educate participants about our region's unique ecology and geology, Native American history, the I&M Canal, Underground Railroad, Great Migration, Industrial Revolution and even the Clean Water Act. Expanding water taxi service beyond Ping Tom Park on the South Branch would make site-hopping between downtown, Chinatown, Bridgeport, Pilsen and Little Village a reality. Throughout the river system, more and more riverfront businesses—from breweries to offices—can provide boat docks. This would go hand-in-hand with the creation of in-river parks, perfect for fishing and paddling, created by remediating stretches of the rivers that are not navigable to larger boats.
Townsquare Media Albany
Riverfront spaces should be able to support temporary concessions, like food trucks, as well as more permanent ones like restaurants and kayak rentals.

Stephen Hyde (Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld) kicked off the 2019/20 season with a strong showing at Rochester Cyclocross, finishing on the podium in third both days.
The return to form was a welcome feeling for the three-time National Champion who fought through multiple injuries last season.
Hyde's return, however, hit another hiccup during last weekend's Jingle Cross World Cup. After riding strong early on, Hyde's back seized up, and he was forced to withdraw from the race. He raced again on Sunday in the C1 and finished 12th while dealing with many of the same back issues.
Hyde headed to Waterloo looking to bounce back and get a good ride to get back on track in Friday's C2 race. He was also hoping to fight off the demons of 2018, where a crash during the World Cup caused a broken bone that kicked off his 2018/19 of horrors.
The Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld rider got that ride he was looking for on Friday afternoon. Hyde got off to a good start and rode in fifth for much of the race before finishing sixth on the hot, humid afternoon in Wisconsin.
We chatted with him after the race and asked about the race and what it meant for him to have a good ride before Sunday's World Cup. You can listen in below.

NVIDIA Cyberpunk 2077 Performance
NVIDIA today confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 will support RTX and DLSS technologies at launch. The announcement was not a surprise to anyone, in fact, Tom's Hardware already comprehensively tested the DLSS and ray tracing in Cyberpunk 2077.
Unfortunately, the game that was used in that review was the prerelease version with DRM, a game that did not feature day-0 optimizations and bug fixes. Today Tom's Hardware was requested to remove the slides from their review.
The new article posted by NVIDIA today did not have any performance charts for Cyberpunk 2077, but for the other 5 games that received the DLSS update, it did. With some ingenuity, we were able to find the missing chart, which appears to feature three graphics cards.
Cyberpunk 2077 4K performance
NVIDIA decided to share performance metrics for RTX 3090, RTX 3080, and last-gen flagship RTX 2080 Ti at Ultra Quality Preset with Ray Tracing set to Ultra. Each card has been tested with DLSS on and off. It seems that even according to NVIDIA, their 1,499 USD and 699 USD graphics cards are unable to meet the 60 FPS in this heavily promoted title.
With DLSS off, none of the graphics is even reaching 30 FPS, which is not exactly an experience that PC gamers are expecting. CD Projekt Red already confirmed that AMD Radeon RX 6000 graphics will support ray tracing in Cyberpunk 2077, just not at launch. Hopefully, though, the performance optimizations will allow high-end GPUs to reach higher framerate, even when DLSS is not enabled.
Cyberpunk 2077 1440p performance
At 2560×1440 resolution, things are looking a bit better. NVIDIA added RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 TI to the test results. It appears that even with DLSS enabled, both cards are unable to offer 60 FPS with things set to Ultra. Do note that at 1440p resolution the game changes the DLSS profile from Performance to Quality.
Cyberpunk 2077 1080p performance
All graphics cards tested by NVIDIA at 1080p resolution will offer a 60 FPS experience with Ultra preset. Although, only the RTX 3090 is capable of delivering such a framerate without DLSS enabled.

The 15 Trickiest Grammar Hang-Ups
My spouse and i trust which you all know the between who and whom , and that i trust that typos would be the only cause you use the inappropriate it's . It happens for the best of us. For most internet writers, if you can only maintain your concentrate (perhaps having caffeine along with frequent breaks), you'll get basic principles right. The following problems, but may have you actually scrambling for a refresher.
1 . 1 / 2 can be both equally singular and also plural.
Typically, subject matter and verbs agree: When the subject is definitely singular, often the verb will be singular. When the subject will be plural, the verb will be plural. Easy as pie. However , paragraphs that start with half no longer follow this kind of rule.
Half solely is singular: My half the pizza is usually pepperoni . Yet although half is a subject in the sentence for instance Half of the pizza are incomplete , we use a m?ltiple verb as a consequence of something identified as notional commitment. It simply shows that although half is singular, half of the pizza has a notion of being plural, so you make use of a plural verb. Follow that rule if half is the subject of any sentence: In the event half is actually followed by a singular noun, use a singular action-word. If one half is followed by a dual noun, use a plural verb. Half of the pepperoni is messed up, but half of the tomatoes usually are missing .
Compound words that start with half are quirky as well. They can be open, closed or perhaps hyphenated (e. g., 50 percent note , halfhearted , half-baked ). There's no rule that will applies en masse, so you've got to check the dictionary.
2 . Global businesses are not exactly persons.
Companies are entities, however are run by men and women, so you could make a disagreement for discussing a company while who , particularly because U. S i9000. courts possess ruled which companies are people in most legitimate senses. Nevertheless, the standard style is to label a company for entity along with use the pronouns it and that : We want to purchase stock in the company that makes hot air balloons .
If you want to highlight men and women in the business are right behind some motion or selection, name these and make use of who : Floating Baskets was pushed to individual bankruptcy by the senior administrators, who had taken too many expensive Alaskan joyrides.
3. United states is a flawed term.
North american is the solely single expression we have to refer to citizens states of The us ( U. S. -icans ? ), but technically, a united states is any individual who lives in North America, Central America or even South America.
In the U. S. we, individuals, have been dialling ourselves Tourists since just before our country was even founded (as have all of our detractors). Though all people from the American vierge are actually People in the usa, most visitors in the Ough. S. as well as Europe imagine an American is actually a U. T. citizen, considering that that is how the word is very commonly used.
Regardless of its failings, use United states to refer to some citizen states of North america. No much better term prevails. Feel free to truly feel guilty.
4. The term dilemma can be, effectively, a dilemma.
Often the di- prefix in dilemma means "two" or "double, " which will lends help support to the undeniable fact that dilemma really should be used merely to describe options between a pair of alternatives. The Associated Hit Stylebook and Garner's Current American Use not only assistance that limit, but proceed further, stating that situation should be utilized only for a determination between 2 unpleasant options.
Nevertheless, Garner furthermore notes that will other makes use of are "ubiquitous. " Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Utilization and The Columbia Guide to Standard American Uk say it can fine to apply dilemma to spell out any significant predicament, and also the American History Guide to Modern-day Usage and elegance takes a good intermediate position. What's a new writer to complete? (Is it a problem? )
Unless of course you're publishing for a publication that requires one to follow a fashion guide that limits dilemma to a option between 2 bad options, it's not certainly wrong to work with dilemma to go into detail a difficult issue, even when solutions aren't engaged, or to use dilemma to spell out a difficult decision between pleasant options. Nevertheless, you'll appear most brilliant when you use issue to describe a conclusion between a couple of bad options. In additional instances, before using question , ask yourself if another phrase, such as difficulty , would work better.
Also, a cursory search of the Internet uncovers that lots of folks are confounded from the spelling associated with dilemma . Many were taught in order to spell this wrong. Actually , I was trained to enter it dilemna in school, and when I got elderly and checked out a book, I was stunned to find that the word is definitely spelled problem . Further more, the simply correct punctuational is issue . It's not as if dilemna is often a substandard alternative or comarcal spelling. Dictionaries often be aware alternative spellings and sometimes even nonstandard spellings, nevertheless dilemna doesn't even present https://www.domyhomework.pro that way . As far as I can tell, nobody understands why a lot of teachers started using it wrong. Maybe a textbook typo is usually to blame.
5. Earth isn't addressed like the names of different planets.
In Uk, the general guideline is that we capitalize the actual formal names of stuff and spots (e. g., Golden Entrance Bridge, Bay area ), so we cash in the names regarding other planets: Jupiter , Mars etc. For some unknown reason, however , we take care of earth in different ways. Sometimes it can capitalized and frequently it's lowercase, and generally there doesn't are most often a hard-and-fast rule.
Commonly, when the planet is forwent by typically the , it can lowercase, so when earth is listed with the titles of the different planets, it can capitalized instructions but you can locate exceptions to help even these types of patterns. (Of course, when we're just using earth an additional word with regard to dirt , it's always lowercase. )
If you're a writer, check your publication's style manual on see actually recommends. If you are writing for yourself, the most important thing is to end up being consistent instructions so merely pick a capitalization style and also stay with it.
6. Gone missing can be annoying, but it really isn't completely wrong.
Gone missing is a Briticism that has manufactured its approach to the You. S., everywhere reporters utilize it mostly to spell out missing persons. Although journalists and newscasters seem to really like gone absent , it's simple to find noisy readers and also viewers who all hate this.
Haters believe a person ought to go to a area, and absent isn't a area, and that a inanimate item can't move missing given it can't do something alone instructions but British has never been so igual. In a limited labor market, jobs should go begging (be unfilled), for instance , even though pleading with is not a location and jobs can't do something. Other peevers suggest that eliminated missing requires an action for the person as well as item which includes vanished. Yet again, we have parallels that challenge the discussion: Milk moves bad, for instance , without getting any steps on its own.
Gone missing is not inappropriate. The Oxford English Book places the idea in the exact same category since the phrase go native , as in, We'd high hope for our completely new senator, although after he was in Wa a few months, he went ancient (i. electronic., adopted the same habits and also attitudes while people who definitely have been there a good time).
Even though you hate removed missing , you can't without breaking the law criticize this grammatically incorrect. But on the bright side, if you're a fan of the saying, be aware that it annoys sufficient readers that you should think twice prior to using it with your writing.
7. Types is always m?ltiple.
You will have one variety of peanut butter nevertheless three forms of jelly. Use the singular ( kind ) once you have one of some thing, and the vario ( kinds ) for those who have more. Since these and also those reveal multiple things, you have to use a plural: sorts . These kinds of situations always perplex me personally. ( These form is drastically wrong. )
Beware of the problem. Though it seems uncomplicated, good copy writers often get that wrong.
8. Till is dappled.
If you have until Walk 4 to create an entrance in the National Grammar Moment video competition, does which means that you can nonetheless turn it in on March 4, or maybe is March 3 the very last acceptable moment? Unfortunately, the term until isn't going to make the meaning clear. Men and women can interpret it other ways.
One of the most stress-inducing deadlines is a annual taxes filing cutoff for the Irs, which makes an area to identify that the Apr 15 filing deadline consists of April 18. It also refers to April 18 as a due date, not a deadline.
If you're subsequent instructions, may assume until finally means by way of . Submit your merchandise a day early on or receive clarification. Of course, if you're creating instructions, cause them to clear with a word for example through or perhaps stating a certain day and also time. Often the IRS will not rely on a good ambiguous word such as till , along with neither in case.
9. Next is also ambiguous.
Just like until , future is dappled: Some people assume next Thursday means the following Wednesday which will occur, and other people assume next Wednesday means the Wednesday in the next week, no matter what day it is now. The sitcom Seinfeld possibly did any scene that has Jerry in addition to Sid asserted about the significance of up coming Wednesday as opposed to this Saturday .
There is no definitive meaning for following Wednesday , so you should avoid using next to modify a day on the week. Become more specific within your writing.
10. The plurals associated with abbreviations tend to be not always reasonable.
Shortened forms are abbreviations that are evident as words ( NASA ), along with initialisms are usually abbreviations you just say each letter ( FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION ).
Even though it isn't going to make perfect sense, you make initialisms and shortened forms plural by adding an h to the stop no matter what component would be dual if you authored out the whole thing. Therefore , even though you would certainly write runs batted inside , the particular plural is usually RBIs .
In the past, many publications made use of apostrophes to make acronyms in addition to initialisms plural, so until eventually a few years back, it was popular among see like RBI's or CD's throughout The Ny Times . But these nights, the major style guides propose omitting the particular apostrophe.
11. Many people in addition to their might soon always be acceptable portentoso pronouns.
English possesses a big, gaping hole: There isn't a pronoun to spell it out a person when you don't know often the sex. (I've tried the item with babies, and it hasn't gone over very well! ) Inside days gone by, he / she was suitable as a universal pronoun, currently it's not. Key style tutorials recommend against it.
For you to fill the gap, a lot of people consciously or maybe subconsciously utilize they, as in, Tell another caller that they win a car or truck . Accomplishing this is helped by some current model guides as well as has a extended history in comparison with most people recognize. Even Alice Austen made it happen. For example , here's a quotation through Mansfield Recreation area in which Austen pairs the plural pronoun ( their ) using a singular predecessor ( each ):
Everybody all around her was gay and busy, successful and essential; each got their item of interest, their particular part, their particular dress, their favourite field, their pals and confederates: All were being finding job in services and featured reviews, or shift in the frolicsome conceits these people suggested.
Although many persons consider using these people as a unique pronoun drastically wrong, I suppose many of those exact same people utilize it that way within casual discussion without even knowing it, and the singular many people will become fully acceptable next 50 years.
Currently, using they will as a singular pronoun region on tolerable. You can choose to accomplish if you aren't bound to abide by style guidebook that opposes it, yet be prepared to secure yourself. Typically the safer course (when you may not just rewrite the sentence in your essay to make the subject matter plural) is to use he or she , or to change between he and she (which you could have noticed will be the style as well as this quite magazine).
When switching involving he in addition to she , however , you should definitely separate often the examples enough so that you don't confuse subscribers. (Weren't all of us just dealing with a woman? ) Also, I've truly recently began getting grievances from adult males who've remarked that writers moving over between he and the girl tend to utilize he for that bad guys and she to the heroes.

12. Possessives of possessives might get messy.
When you have to generate a possessive identify possessive, occur to be technically purported to add one more possessive gun to the finish:
Kohl's's earnings have been up final quarter. ( Typically the Chicago Handbook of Style ?troite style)
Kohl's' earnings had been up final quarter. ( The actual Associated Click Stylebook possessive style)
Avoid these types of sentences, though. They may be technologically correct, nevertheless they look terrible. You can commonly rewrite the actual sentence to restore better:
Kohl's reported larger earnings final quarter.
13. Apostrophes can occasionally signify plurals.
We all make a face when we get a greengrocer's apostrophe ( banana's $0. 99 ), but did you know that in some uncommon occasions, we use apostrophes to create things dual? In most cases, typically the apostrophe aids avoid misunderstandings; single words are an idea. The first apostrophe in Populate your i's and cross your t's helps visitors distinguish between multiple replicates of the letter i and the word will be . The less reasonable example will be the phrase do's and don'ts . Different style instructions recommend diverse spellings ( dos and don'ts , do's and don'ts , and also do's along with don't's ). Whenever writers use an apostrophe to generate do dual but not to produce don't multiple, the only cause of the apostrophe is to offer visual equilibrium. Yet, is actually allowed.

About » Mission & Vision
Mission & Vision
There are more than 225,000 lawyers and law students in the UK today. Together, the legal profession provides the code and process for the order and stability of our society. They are a key group which works with people often at the sharp end of life, seeking to fix what is broken, and restore hope that has been lost. The LCF exists as a fellowship because of a collective imagination about the work of a Christian lawyer, and through a shared sense of responsibility for the communication of the Gospel in and through the legal profession.
The LCF is a membership organisation, because its Gospel mission is realised by its members: Christian Lawyers communicating the whole Gospel about Jesus Christ.
The whole of scripture points to Christ, whose life, death, burial and resurrection provide the only way to be forgiven by God and to enjoy life in all its fullness. The familiar Micah 6:8 text inspires our fellowship with its simple three-fold imperative, which moves Christian lawyers to retell the Jesus story through the medium of the legal profession. Theirs is a unique opportunity for our time, to Seek Justice, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly, and so to powerfully communicate the whole Gospel of Jesus Christ.
This is why the LCF exists – a fellowship for the whole life of the Christian lawyer, that they may point others to Jesus the only Saviour, and to God's promised King. If you are a Christian lawyer or law student, join us today.
What we do
Resourcing Biblically-faithful work that commends Christ as our King.
What we say
Facilitating Gospel proclamation in and through the legal profession.
What we are
Supporting whole-life discipleship that reveals Jesus to be our Saviour.
Whom we trust
Articulating faith in God together for our Gospel mission in law.
The LCF has a statement of faith and doctrinal basis. The statement of faith is for all members to affirm on joining the fellowship. Its breadth provides for the participation of a richly diverse membership. The doctrinal basis adds clarity to our mission and vision as a Christian fellowship.
Statement of faith
Membership of the LCF is open to anyone involved in the practice, administration, teaching or study of law, who accepts and is personally committed to the principles of the Christian faith as taught in God's inspired word, the bible, particularly salvation from sin by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, God incarnate, who died on the cross, rose from death, ascended into heaven, indwells Christian believers through the Holy Spirit and will return in glory. The LCF has adopted the doctrinal basis of UCCF as its own doctrinal basis.

pandoc-citeproc-preamble is a JSON filter for Pandoc which inserts a preamble before the output that Pandoc's citeproc filter appends to the document. This preamble might include a heading (e.g. "Bibliography") and raw markup to format the bibliography for the output format.
Users of Debian 10 or later or Ubuntu 17.04 or later:
apt-get install
pandoc-citeproc-preamble. Users of Debian 9: enable
backports, and then
apt-get install -t stretch-backports
Otherwise, pandoc-citeproc-preamble uses the standard Haskell
toolchain and is available from Hackage, so you should just be able to
cabal install pandoc-citeproc-preamble.
If you are not a Haskell programmer, you might find it easier to
- install Stack;
- ensure that
~/.local/binis in your shell's PATH
- run
stack install pandoc-citeproc-preamble.
--filter pandoc-citeproc-preamble somewhere after
--citeproc, e.g.
$ pandoc -s --citeproc --bibliography=~/doc/mine.bib --filter pandoc-citeproc-preamble ~/doc/my_essay.mdwn -o ~/my_essay.pdf
In this case, since the output format is LaTeX,
pandoc-citeproc-preamble will look for the preamble in the file
data_dir/citeproc-preamble/default.latex where
data_dir is your
Pandoc user data directory, as reported by
pandoc --version. You
may specify a different preamble by setting document metadata like this:
$ pandoc ... --filter pandoc-citeproc-preamble -M citeproc-preamble=~/my_preamble.tex ...
Please see "Rationale", below, for why it would defeat the purpose of
this script to include a value for
citeproc-preamble in your input
file's YAML metadata block.
Example preamble file
Please see my ~/.pandoc/citeproc-preamble/default.latex, which was inspired by this guide.
One motivation for authoring with Pandoc is that one's input files are agnostic with regard to the output format they will eventually be compiled to: it should not be necessary to include in one's input file, for example, LaTeX code to format the bibliography.
When compiling to PDF (which is probably the most common case for users of Pandoc's citeproc filter), formatting code is usually required to have the entries of Pandoc's bibliography line up with each other; by default, all entries except the first will be indented. Another common customisation is to set up a hanging indent for bibliography entries.
Since Pandoc's citeproc filter doesn't provide any facility to add formatting control code to its output, pandoc-citeproc-preamble is necessary to avoid the user being forced to add their control code to the end of their input files, thereby losing the input file's agnosticity with regard to output format.

Tesla's vehicles are awesome. I own a S85 from 2013 and a S100D from 2018. I've driven 260.000km and 70.000km with these two vehicles and I love it.
There is however a design flaw in the early Tesla models which can become a very expensive reparation if not performed in time.
Version of of the MCU (Media Control Unit) which was installed up until early 2018 in Tesla S/X runs and is a ticking time bomb.
The problem is the Flash Memory (eMMC) which holds the Operating System of the computer. This wears out over time due to writing data to it.
Writing happens when you use the car. It caches Spotify, Google Maps and many more things. Even when the car is parked the MCU stays running and writes to the eMMC chip.
Eventually this chip will wear out. Before it does it becomes very slow and this results in the MCU becoming super sluggish, unresponsive, the screen reboots at random moments, bluetooth issues, etc, etc.
A lot has been written about this, so I won't write to much. Short: Tesla will charge you around 2000 EUR/USD for a new MCU.
I choose to replace this eMMC chip myself and this was a lot cheaper! Total cost was <500 EUR.
Around the world there are a couple of companies doing these replacements. I replaced my eMMC chip together with Loek from Laadkabelwinke.nl (Netherlands): https://www.laadkabelwinkel.nl/tesla-mcu1-emmc-vervangen-reparatie
On Tesla Motors Club there are various topics about these replacements, one for example: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/preventive-emmc-replacement-on-mcu1.152489/
I highly recommend everybody with a Model S/X to replace this eMMC chip before it fails.
The chip will wear out and this causes all kinds of problems. I can't stress this enough. Replace the chip before it's too late!
In Europe I would recommend to go to Laadkabelwinkel.nl and have them replace the chip.
Enjoy your Tesla!

Myrmecol. News 12: 15-21
Myrmecol. News 12: 15-21; printable
Abstract: Myrmecologists use a variety of methods for clearing (macerating) and relaxing ants. Bleaching, however, has virtually never been applied in morphological studies. Here we describe a combination of a common bleaching treatment of insect cuticle with hydrogen peroxide and a subsequent clearing of adhering soft tissues with either lactic acid or proteolytic enzymes. This technique allows viewing of the internal morphology of ants without dissection. The resulting glassy specimens reveal valuable morphological characters and may be used as three-dimensional morphological maps to guide the dissection of additional specimens. Bleached specimens are thus particularly useful as teaching material. Positive side effects of the treatment are the extension of (a) retracted mouthparts, (b) sting apparatus and (c) armatures of the male genitalia. An underwater preparation procedure with subsequent fan drying is also described for relaxing specimens preserved in absolute ethanol. Based on tests of relaxing methods, a much less harmful but equally effective modification of the carcinogenic Barber's fluid is described for relaxing and cleaning purposes of pinned or card-point mounted specimens.

December 1st, 2014 – Oldest known Holocaust survivor passes away
Surviving through music and optimism: Alice Herz-Sommer, a pianist forced to play concerts for Nazis and subject of an Oscar nominated short subject documentary, dies at the age 110.
Michal Margalit
|02.23.14, 21:49 / Israel Jewish Scene
Alice Herz-Sommer, the world's oldest known Holocaust survivor, passed away Sunday morning at the age of 110. Herz-Sommer had been admitted to a hospital in London, where she lived, after feeling unwell Thursday. "She passed away peacefully, with her family by her side," her grandson Ariel told Ynet.
"Much was written about her, but for those of us who knew her best, she was 'Gigi'. She loved us, laughed with us and cherished music with us," the grandson added. "She was our inspiration and our world will be significantly duller without her in it."

Born in Prague, Herz-Sommer began to play the piano from an early age and eventually became a part of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. After World War II broke out, she was arrested by the Nazis and moved to the Theresienstadt concentration camp, where she was forced to play concerts for German officers. Her story served as the basis for the movie "The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved my Life," an Oscar nominee for best short documentary.
Interview with Alice Herz-Sommer in 2013
She was born into a distinguished Jewish family, and her mother was a childhood friend of Gustav Mahler. Franz Kafka was a regular guest in their home. After showing a special talent for music, she became a soloist in the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. Before World War II, she married violinist Leopold Sommer and gave birth to their son Raphael in 1937.

After the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia, most of her family left to Israel, but Herz-Sommer decided to stay to take care of her ill mother, who was sent in 1942 to Theresienstadt and later to Treblinka, where she died.
In 1943, Herz-Sommer was also sent to Theresienstadt, along with her husband and son, where she had to perform for the Nazis; it was this talent that saved her son from death at the camp, but her husband was sent to Auschwitz and later to Dachau, where he found his death.
After Theresienstadt was liberated in 1945, Herz-Sommer returned to Prague and in 1949 immigrated to Israel, and lived in Jerusalem. She taught at the Jerusalem Academy of Music and her son became a famous cellist and moved to London. He died 15 years ago after suffering a heart attack.
In 1986, she also moved to London, and passed her last years in a modest apartment in Belsize Park neighborhood. She continued to play the piano until her death, and was known as an optimistic and happy woman.
"I'm very sad. It's true that she was a 110-year-old woman, and that everyone reaches the end of his life, but I always thought this woman would live forever," said Esther Marom (71) from Ramat HaSharon, who was Herz-Sommer's student in Jerusalem and had visited her recently. "She lived near her family – two grandchildren and daughter-in-law, who were by her side until the last minute. She functioned and hosted many friends and journalists who visited her frequently to witness the wonder."

"Aliza was very modest and that was her most prominent quality," Marom added. "She loved to teach and it was her life. She preferred teaching music over anything else and was very pleasant in the lessons. She cared about students and their progress. Her optimism was always one of her virtues and that's what saved her in the concentration camp, along with the music."
Nurit Vekshel (78) from Givatayim is also a former student of Alice, who stayed in touch with her over the years. "I visited her several times in London and we talked on the phone twice a week in recent times. This is a woman who whenever you ask her how she is, she answers 'excellent'.
"She is the embodiment of optimism. Her motto was "I can't complain," and she always saw the bright side. That's what kept her going for so many years," Veshkel added.
Veshkel told that Herz-Sommer "lived in a one-room apartment with a tiny kitchen, but whenever she had visitors she would make proper meals. In recent years, when she received hot meals from feeding programs, she would give me half when I visited. She was excellently musical and was an extraordinary person, with a constant smile and hearty laugh until her last day."

This morning, Damon starts googling on his phone and comes up with an idea from a forum about what might be wrong with his bike causing the catalytic converter to overheat, and sure enough that's the problem (throttle cable on one cylinder was sitting on its shoulder instead of down in its seat).
We push started him and he rode for 30 minutes with no problem, so he decided he'd ride up about 45 minutes to Memphis to a BMW dealer there, get a new battery, then ride back home to Georgia and call it quits for his part of the trip. I was sad to see him go, but he'd dealt with a lot of frustration and was missing his family, so I didn't blame him for leaving. I was really glad to have him with me for a week after it being so long since seeing each other. Gary and I left Holly Springs, MS a little after lunch and got back on the trail. There were a few sections of dirt, but nothing too crazy. We did get to ride on top of some river levees, which gave a good view. We passed by the Isle of Capri Casino, and I can still remember their advertising jingle from when I was a kid, so that was kind of funny. Immediately after that, we crossed the Mississippi River into Arkansas. The first town in Arkansas is Helena, so we stopped for gas, did some laundry at a Laundromat, then ate some Mexican food before setting up camp just before dark at the Storm Creek Lake campground (http://www.arkansas.com/places-to-go/lakes-rivers/lake.aspx?id=56) in the St. Francis National Forest.
