V Formula Racing K IENEFITING from the lesson of last year, when the handicap formula used for estimating the racing speeds of machines proved to rule out nearly all the fast types, we understand that the subject of this year's formula is now being discussed by the authorities concerned, and that the formula sug- gested is, with very minor alterations, that designed by Mr. C. C. Walker, and described by him in the September 22, 1927, issue of the AIR- CRAFT ENGINEER (Technical Supplement to FLIGHT). The value of the constant and the biplane span allowance have been slightly modified, but the change is so small that for all practical purposes the suggested formula is Mr. Walker's original one. It may be recollected that Mr. Walker chose span rather than area (i.e., "span power" rather than " wing power ") as his basis mainly because, as he put it, " span is the dimension for which there is no substitute." In other words, so long as formula racing is used there will be efforts to " cheat " the formula (we use the expression, of course, without any intention of inferring any dishonourable action, and merely as it is used in yacht racing, to imply " beating " the formula), and it is therefore essential that the formula chosen should be such that in trying to " cheat " it the qualities developed by the "' cheating " should be desirable ones. Mr. Walker claimed, it may be remembered, that if wing area were used, the tendency would probably be to increase chord so as to get a low figure for " wing power " (horse-power per square foot) without thereby sacri- ficing very much actual speed, thus obtaining a lower handicap speed. Now, adding chord can be done as a piece of " faking," and does not entail any great structural alterations ; but an increase in chord is not particularly desirable. Mr. W'alker chose span because, as he said, " increase of chord is no cure for an overloaded machine, but increase of span is." In other words, span is a desirable feature in any machine, although it is not, perhaps, very important in a pure racing craft. But, coming back to the formula, if a formula tends to produce some " freakish " feature, B 2

5 Questions: Nikki Tran
Nikki Tran is a filmmaker and a member of Footscray Community Arts Centre's West Writers Group. She has created FRESH! an online dramedy series available on YouTube.
In the world of FRESH! the staff of a Melbourne fresh food market struggle to keep things professional in a world where businesses are family-run, bargains are bellowed in several languages, and no one gets served without first winning an elbow fight.
No. 1
What was the inspiration for Fresh! - what drove you to create this series?
Like many of my peers published here on Liminal, I had grown tired of the scarcity of Asian-Australian representation, especially in Australian television and film. It wasn't until Benjamin Law's The Family Law arrived on SBS in 2016 that I finally felt some form of recognition of me, my family and my experiences as belonging to the wider Australian narrative.
I joined the Footscray Community Arts Centre's West Writers Group at the beginning of the same year – a collective that emphasises and supports voices of storytellers who live, work or have a connection to Melbourne's west. Whilst applying to join the group, I had been thinking a lot about stories of the local area, of Footscray, where I have lived all my life, and wanted to create something for screen that not only reflected the community, but spoke about the migrant experience in Australia, touching on issues that are specific to a community where people of many cultures co-exist. I also wanted to see more stories that placed people of colour and women at the centre, as characters with agency, rather than relegated to the fringe or background of white male narratives.
No. 2
I've noticed that it circles around the concept of the market, which is such an interesting space within Australia, as a strong site for the meeting of ostensibly disparate cultures. Watching it, it was so incredible to see Footscray Market in a film setting! Why did you choose this specific location?
The marketplace is something that has been the cornerstone of civilisations for many, many years, and its longevity in societies has a lot to do with the fact that food is a something that's easily understood across all cultures. So, it's natural that in Australia, our markets are where, as you said, different cultures cross paths – it's a microcosm reflecting the make-up of the wider community.
We not only filmed the series in Footscray Market, but also in Preston and Dandenong markets. Each has its own character, influenced by the people and the cultures that live within the area. Even so, what is common to all three, is that most stalls are family-owned and operated by those who have migrated to Melbourne over the years. It's the perfect location to set the stories I want to tell.
Growing up, I accompanied my family to the Footscray Market a lot, so it's a familiar world to me. I appreciate the frankness of how business is conducted; the work ethic of the staff and the fact that there are no bells and whistles with service and branding. However, this is also an 'old world' that fits less and less with the now gentrifying neighbourhood around it. So, I wanted to capture this changing time and hope FRESH! provides a different perspective of modern Australia, one that stands in contrast to the many stories we see from rural Australia or white-collar middle class workplaces and families, but still has an equal place in the national narrative.
Growing up, I accompanied my family to the Footscray Market a lot, so it's a familiar world to me. I appreciate the frankness of how business is conducted; the work ethic of the staff and the fact that there are no bells and whistles with service and branding.
No. 3
You've noted that it's important to create something that honours the migrant experience, yet you are also wary of romanticising it. Can you speak more to this?
There are nuances to living in an area that's considered a 'melting pot'. We tend to celebrate the positives; diversity of cuisines, the diversity of faces, the feeling of togetherness and the opportunity learn from other cultures. These are things we see from the outside looking in, and it's easy to buy into the positives to the point of romanticisation.
The reality is that there are underlying problems. For example, a so-called melting pot community isn't without prejudice between individual community groups, as people from different cultures can be travelling and working together but still socialise and live in silos. We also rarely talk about the isolation and anxiety felt by those who struggle with the language barrier and the difficulty of navigating the English-speaking western world. I have family and relatives who experience this even after decades of living in the country, the impact of displacement is long-lasting. I also feel that the disconnect between generations is more pronounced between migrant parents and their children who are born and raised in Australia.
These are things I try to touch on in FRESH!, and bring a more considered portrayal of what multiculturalism and the migrant experience means in Australia. I admit it's a subject matter that deserves more depth and attention than the six short episodes of comedy-drama we've created, but hopefully it's a series that raises awareness of these matters and adds to a wider conversation.
No. 4
You've chosen to make the series easily accessible—something close to Liminal's own digital heart!
Initially, we did our research on many other Australian web series and their release/distribution strategies. We considered and pursued various options, we knew that from the perspective of our careers as filmmakers, there's value in having your work streaming on an established platform, such as ABC iView or Netflix, as it provides credibility to us as creatives. It is also tempting to find ways of monetising the release in order to recuperate some of the cost of production, as this was a self-funded project.
In the end, we realised what was most important to us is that the series, at least during the initial release, is viewed by as many people as possible and accessible to the people we made the show for - those who have family, or who are from migrant backgrounds and may speak a language other than English. So, we've chosen to meet them on a platform that they are most likely to be familiar with—YouTube. We have about eighty talented cast and crew members who dedicated their time and effort to the project and their friends and family living all over Australia and the world, it made sense that the series would be free and available to them as well.
What would you want your audience to take away from watching FRESH! ?
I think I'd like our audience to feel the same way I felt when watching The Family Law for the first time. It was unexpectedly touching to see a family like my own on screen speaking the same language and having the same arguments on Australian television. It was a sense of validation that I had previously thought I didn't need but subconsciously craved—an acknowledgement that even though I'm not Australian in the way that Nicole Kidman or Ned Kelly or Cathy Freeman is Australian—my story still belonged in the national narrative. I hope people's take away from watching FRESH! is that there are multiple definitions of what it means to be Australian and that the show sees you and acknowledges you.

Asian Innovation - 3 Hotspots to Discover/
When it comes to inspiring out-of-the-box business ideas, we typically think of places like San Francisco's Silicon Valley or, in Asia, high-tech Tokyo and Singapore. But Asia has other promising countries with the potential for leading the way in launching brand new products, services and business models. This article takes a look at three lesser known innovation cities on the global index.
Shenzhen, China
Strengths in manufacturing and reformed economic policies have developed Shenzhen into an innovation powerhouse dubbed the 'Silicon Valley of Hardware'. Once a small fishing village, Shenzhen is now home to some of China's biggest tech firms. There's Huawei which makes telecoms equipment, social media platform Tencent and search engine Baidu. You might wonder what makes Shenzhen such a target location for techies. The answer is likely in its vastly affordable electronic components. Engineers use hardware parts bought in bulk to make prototypes very quickly, making this exciting Chinese metropolis an startup's paradise.
Bangalore, India
Despite a notoriously risk averse society, India's population is able to thrive creatively. Many of the world's top CEOs including Google's Sundar Pichai and Microsoft's Satya Nadella are of Indian descent. India's culture of networking and mentorship, excellence in IT and pool of ripe talent makes it a fitting location for budding entrepreneurs. Bangalore, or Bengaluru, is India's innovation HQ. The capital is the world's second fastest growing startup ecosystem, with over 100 new businesses registered every day. The top industries for Bangalore startups include fintech, healthcare and energy.
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) is a Vietnamese city with a new name and newer ambitions. Vietnam's largest economic hub, Ho Chi Minh City is characterised by a high quality labour force, frequent skyscraper builds and millions of motorbikes. Leaders' efforts have been focused on transforming the fast-paced city into Vietnam's innovation centre. The government has invested in research, HR training, manufacturing and even entertainment innovations. It's definitely worth paying attention to the future of this high-energy location.

Global weather conditions associated with El Niño are posing a serious threat to millions of vulnerable people, particularly in rural communities, with scarce rainfall devastating crops and causing water shortages in some regions, while other parts of the world are seeing flooding caused by above-average precipitation. It is now evident that this current El Niño equals or exceeds the intensity of the previous occurrence in 1997.
On a global scale, extreme drought conditions and acute water shortages have affected more than 60 million people, including an estimated 4.2 million people in Central America, 30 million people in East and Southern Africa and 4.7 million people in the South West Pacific region. In the Horn of Africa, the situation in Ethiopia alone has drawn considerable attention from the international community, as some 10.2 million people are currently in need of emergency food assistance.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, heavy rains have generated widespread flooding in South America and unusual above-average precipitation has raised concerns in East Africa. It is expected that the current weather patterns will remain until mid-2016. It is also uncertain whether a subsequent La Niña phenomenon will immediately follow. Current projections suggest that this is likely to occur.
In the Americas
Conditions along Central America's Dry Corridor have reached crisis levels, with more than 3.5 million people facing food insecurity in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. Significant loss of staple grain crops and the deaths of thousands of cattle are drastically affecting families whose livelihoods are heavily dependent on subsistence farming.
In Haiti, the government has reported that 1.5 million people are in urgent need of assistance due to dry conditions that have led to low agricultural yields, a number that has doubled in just the last six months. The main 2015 harvest fell far below average, with losses of up to 70 percent recorded in some areas, threatening the food security of 3.6 million Haitians. In some areas of Haiti, up to 70 percent of the population is facing hunger, and a recent study conducted by UNICEF and the Haitian government found that hunger is exceeding emergency levels in several communes.
In South America, wetter conditions are contributing to extreme cold temperatures and widespread flooding in Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay and Brazil. This has also contributed to the loss of cattle and crops in agricultural communities.
Along the Horn of Africa, extreme dry conditions in agricultural areas across north-eastern Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Djibouti, Sudan, and South Sudan have triggered a significant increase in the number of food-insecure people. Ethiopia, considered one of the most at-risk countries in the region by the Global Food Security Cluster, has been experiencing its worst drought in 30 years. The successive harvest failures and widespread livestock deaths have contributed to some 10.2 million people currently requiring urgent humanitarian assistance.
In Eastern Africa, reported widespread flooding as a result of excessive rainfall has generated concerns over the number of people that could be affected in Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda (between 2.7 and 3.5 million). Further, an increased risk of Rift Valley Fever, a vector-borne disease that mainly affects livestock and potentially humans, also represents a threat to communities. In Southern Africa, malnutrition and food insecurity due to below-average rainfall continues to pose a threat to the communities highly dependent on the growing seasons. More than 5 million people could be affected throughout the year, including agricultural communities in Malawi, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mozambique, Zambia and Swaziland.
In the South and South-East Asia region, El Niño has brought below-average rainfall. In the Philippines, dry conditions could potentially affect the livelihoods of some 12 million people who heavily rely on farming and fisheries. Indonesia has seen drought and fire resulting from drier-than-normal conditions in the southern Sumatra region over recent months. As a result, only 30 percent of crops have been planted on time, representing a direct impact on season planting and harvesting of agricultural products. In Timor-Leste, El Niño-related conditions are expected to continue through the second quarter of 2016, coinciding with the normal harvest period, which could be at risk of failure, potentially affecting around 220,000 people.
Oceania/Pacific Islands
In Papua New Guinea, some 2.7 million people, many of whom live in remote areas, are experiencing food insecurity and malnutrition due to a combination of drought and severe frost affecting domestic gardens and crop fields. In the Western Pacific, drought conditions associated with El Niño are expected to extend through the first quarter of 2016, further exacerbating food availability in Vanuatu, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Samoa and Tonga. In the Eastern Pacific, an above-normal cyclone season is expected to extend until April 2016, potentially bringing heavy rains and floods.
Local and International Response
The humanitarian community is actively mobilizing to address the global effects of El Niño, particularly in the hardest hit countries, which now span four regions. A recent high-level briefing on El Niño by the UN Under-Secretary General and Emergency Relief Coordinator further stressed the severity this represents on a global scale.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), in conjunction with local governments and development agencies, aim at targeting the most at-risk communities through coordinated approaches, such as Humanitarian Response Plans (HRP), which open up financial mechanisms for more focused responses. While additional response plans are jointly developed, recently drafted HRPs already exist for Central America (Honduras and Guatemala) and Ethiopia. Addressing food insecurity, malnutrition, chronic diseases and access to water are some of the key challenges and concerns raised as a result of ongoing monitoring, field assessments and briefings taking place at the global, regional and local levels.
How LWR is Responding
Lutheran World Relief continues to support El Niño advocacy and response efforts through active involvement in regional/global advocacy and coordination platforms, as well as through community-focused responses. Short-term drought response projects recently carried out in Honduras and Guatemala helped alleviate conditions for vulnerable women, children and men in rural communities suffering from extreme food shortages due to significant crop losses. A resilience-based response to El Niño has also been proposed for El Salvador, which seeks to strengthen local capacity on preparedness and adaptation methods. LWR is also preparing a response to drought-related food security needs in the north-west of Haiti.
On a wider scope, LWR is also pursuing urgent involvement in Ethiopia, one of the hardest-hit countries, with a large rural population that has been heavily affected due it its dependency on subsistence farming.
60 million People affected in the four hardest hit regions
10.2 million People in need of emergency food assistance in Ethiopia
3.6 million People affected in Haiti
2.8 million People requiring urgent assistance in Guatemala and Honduras

Four Seasons Resort Nevis
With its sprawling beach-side campus, Four Seasons Resort Nevis is a major presence on this beautiful and otherwise relatively undeveloped island - and its golf course, watersports and kids' club lure sporty types and those after a classic Caribbean holiday.
- Sally Peck, Family travel and beaches editor
The resort looks out onto the white sands of Pinney's Beach on the island's sheltered west coast, and has a private boat transfer from the airport on neighbouring St Kitts; this is the place to choose if you want a car-free trip. Pinney's is one of the longest and prettiest beaches on Nevis, and a five-minute stroll from the Four Seasons you'll find Sunshine's, a wonderfully relaxed beach bar which is home to the legendarily potent Killer Bee.
Style & character
With the golf course, pools, 196 hotel rooms and more than 50 villas, this is a bustling resort, but its large footprint means that it never feels crowded. You'll have space as you pursue daily fitness classes, sailing, snorkelling and tennis. Design of common areas is not edgy - but it's all exceedingly comfortable. The aesthetic is modern Caribbean: beachside cabanas (available for hire from £450 a day) pay homage to the island's traditional wooden cottage architecture but contain high-tech televisions and iHome stations.
Service & facilities
If the design of the resort feels blandly international, the well-trained staff lend a charming local feel to The Four Seasons which, as the island's only large resort, is also its largest employer. Service skews towards solicitous (the clientele is more than half American) but with a uniquely Nevisian friendliness and knowledge of the island. With three different pools, there's plenty of scope for childish exuberance and adult calm and the pretty spa offers high-quality treatments, plus the chance to relax in adult-only grounds. But the glory of the resort is its impressive beachfront - nowhere else on Nevis will you find such an expansive sandy stretch with so many excellent watersports.
- Parking
- Restaurant
- Bar
- Laundry
- Wi-Fi
- Room service
- Pool
- Spa
- Kids' club
- Tennis court
- Fitness centre
- Golf course
- Beach
Standard rooms are spacious, immaculate and neatly appointed, with blue and yellow colour scheme echoing the sunny sand and sea views from each balcony. On an island with a laid-back vibe, these are the smartest and most high-tech rooms going, if a bit impersonal. The most recently built villas are far more stylish, with cool Caribbean white and blue colour schemes, private pools, and golf course views. Spacious marble bathrooms are often windowless but are nonetheless oases of relaxation, with extra toiletries provided for children and good-quality hairdryers.
Food & drink
Four restaurants offer a range of options. There's Neve, the friendly Nevisian-inflected breakfast spot serving dishes like the breakfast roti, with spiced scrambled eggs, cheese, and mango chutney - but order this plus a juice and coffee and your breakfast bill for one will approach $50 (£36). Mango is the waterfront al fresco spot beloved for its reggae brunch; Cabana offers water views and more seafood and pizzas for lunch; the Coral Grill serves fine international cuts of beef and local seafood for elegant evening meals.
Value for money
Double rooms from $475 (£339) in low season; and from $995 (£710) in high (plus taxes and fees). Breakfast excluded; buffet in Neve $40 (£28), or order à la carte. Free Wi-Fi.
Access for guests with disabilities?
All ground floor rooms are wheelchair accessible, and one room is fully adapted.
Children aged 18 and under can share their parents' room at no additional charge. Children aged five and under eat for free; the Kids For All Seasons club runs all day long, and there are well-led beach games (dominoes; volleyball; kite-making) throughout each day. Spacious three-bedroom villas with private pools are a luxurious place for three-generation stays.

I am so tired of fad diets and restrictive meal plans. I always thought it was a poor choice for children to be restricted in the food department, unless necessary, and now I am a Mum I feel I can say it. There is no need as parents to put our food restrictions on our kids and there is no need for us to eat as adults and them to eat as children either.
There is a new food movement in town and it's called just eat real food. Real, whole, fresh, delicious food. Let's all move towards eating together with the best possible health outcomes in mind. This will come from moderation, variety, seasonal food and REAL food.
Where to start?
Put a selection of food on your plate rather than just 2 or 3 options. For breakfast, lately I have been having 1 piece of nut and seed loaf, half a cut up carrot, a dollop of homemade labna, 2 scrambled eggs, a few cherries and half a mango. This might sound like a lot of food but you get the idea. Variety and moderation, not restriction.
This is how I used to eat as a child and while writing my new book for family meals I have been going back to it more and more. It is interesting how fulfilling it is and how I have noticed when I am full more effectively. Eat it with your hands as well as your fork! Touching food helps us keep in touch and sense when we are full, it lights up our joy and connection to what we are doing and eating. It brings us into that moment.
Eating like a kid is fun and nutritious filling our plate with colours and textures!

Donald Trump picks Indiana Gov. Mike Pence
as his VP
By: Annie Yager, Xiro Xone News July 15, 2016 Updated: 12:45 PM

Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump announced Friday that he has chosen Indiana Gov. Mike Pence to be his vice presidential candidate.
Trump's tweeted the announcement after he said that he would postpone the 11 a.m. press conference he had scheduled for Friday for his running-mate reveal. Trump said he has moved that to Saturday at 11 a.m. because of the terror attack in Nice, France.
Trump offered the vice presidential spot to Pence Thursday, and the governor boarded a plane for New York in anticipation of a Friday announcement, according to a Republican with knowledge of the process. But shortly after Pence arrived, Trump abruptly said he was postponing an announcement because of the deadly attack in Nice, France, that left more than 80 people dead.
The delay sparked speculation that the notoriously unpredictable Trump might make a last minute change. But the businessman put those questions to rest Friday when he tweeted that he was "pleased" to announce Pence as his No. 2.
Pence's re-election prospects in Indiana added to the drama surrounding Trump's decision.
State law prohibits candidates from being on ballots in two contests, and Pence faced a noon Friday deadline for withdrawing from the governor's race. Trump's announcement came about an hour before that deadline.
Minutes after Trump tweeted, one of the governor's aides filed the paperwork with the Indiana Secretary of State's office.
Since taking office in 2013, Pence has presided over Indiana's improving economy and falling unemployment rate, which Republicans credit to the state's low taxes, limited regulation and pro-business climate. Yet his popularity at home has tumbled and re-election was not guaranteed.
Pence has been a vocal Trump supporter since he clinched the Republican nomination, will turn his attention toward helping the real estate mogul defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton in November. Even without Pence, Trump has been closing the gap.
A new CBS News/New York Times poll released this week shows Clinton and Trump tied at 40 percent just one month after Clinton had a 6 percentage point lead. Yet, projections based on state polls suggest Clinton has an advantage, albeit a diminishing one.
Trump appeared to have winnowed the field of potential running mates from about 10 people last week in a fashion that some have compared to a reality-TV show, complete with auditionlike campaign appearances. Aside from Pence, the other favorites were former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

It Should Always Be This Way
04. Mary Mattingly (New York), House and Universe: Sphere and Cube
House and Universe: Sphere, performance, June 21, 7 - 9 PM, Kitchener and Waterloo. Photo above by Robert McNair.
House and Universe: Sphere and Cube installation: Rotunda Gallery, Kitchener City Hall, 200 King St W, Kitchener, ON N2G 4G7.
House and Universe, video projection: Sky Gallery on the Cube, Kitchener City Hall, June 21, 9 - 11 PM.
House and Universe: Sphere and Cube consists of two sculptures, a sphere and cube made from personal objects tied together, and six photographs illustrating the artist's performance practise. During the Summer Lights event on the June 21st, Mary Mattingly will lead a procession along King Street beginning at Kitchener City Hall and and ending at Waterloo Public Square. Participants will take as few or as many of their personal objects and bundle them together, carrying rolling, or otherwise transporting their bundles with along the route. During the evening of the procession, there will be a video slideshow on the Kitchener City Hall Cube of photographs of personal objects from Mary Mattingly's sculptures.
"The route of the procession narrates different rituals of production, consumption, and discard. We will bundle and strap objects to ourselves, carrying them with us, rolling or pushing them alongside of us through Kitchener and Waterloo's main street. We will pull our objects through sites that facilitate the consumption and storage of objects, illustrating the absurdity of the performance, but maybe also the larger situation. Sites like Waterloo Public Square and Kitchener City Hall are sites that illustrate local interconnection. The objects made, bought, and used affect everyone around the world, either directly or indirectly. It's this interconnection that has led me to the procession. Considering every relationship that went into making these objects, can we care for an object's life and death in a similar way to a human's? What are the roles that these objects play in our lives and in the lives of others?"
Mary Mattingly is an artist based in New York. Her work has been exhibited at the International Center of Photography, the Seoul Art Center, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, the New York Public Library, deCordova Museum and Sclupture Park, and the Palais de Tokyo. She participated in smARTpower initiated by the U.S. Department of State and the Bronx Museum of the Arts. She has been awarded grants and fellowships from the James L. Knight Foundation, Eyebeam Center for Art and Technology, Yale University School of Art, the Harpo Foundation, NYFA, the Jerome Foundation, and the Art Matters Foundation. Her work has been featured in Art in America, Artforum, ArtNews, Sculpture Magazine, The New York Times, New York Magazine, Financial Times, Le Monde Magazine, New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, the Village Voice, and on BBC News, MSNBC, Fox News, News12, NPR, WNBC, and on Art21's New York Close Up series. In 2012 she launched the Flock House Project: three spherical living-systems that were choreographed through New York City's five boroughs. Mattingly also founded the Waterpod Project, a barge-based public space containing an autonomous habitat that migrated through New York's waterways. Over 200,000 people visited the Waterpod in 2009.

Vance Aaron Law (born October 1, 1956) is a former third baseman in Major League Baseball. From 1980 through 1991, he played for the Pittsburgh Pirates (1980–81), Chicago White Sox (1982–84), Montreal Expos (1985–87), Chicago Cubs (1988–89), and Oakland Athletics (1991). He also played one season in Japan for the Chunichi Dragons in 1990. Law batted and threw right-handed. He is the son of Cy Young Award winner Vern Law. He served as head baseball coach at Brigham Young University from 2000 to 2012.[1]
Pro career
Law's best season in the Major Leagues was in 1988 when he hit .293, with 163 hits, and 78 RBIs. He was selected to the 1988 All-Star Game as one of a then-record six Cubs players on the team (Andre Dawson, Greg Maddux, Ryne Sandberg, Rafael Palmeiro, and Shawon Dunston were the other five.)
Law holds an American League record for the longest errorless game by a third baseman when he played all 25 innings of the longest game in AL history (May 8 and 9, 1984, against the Milwaukee Brewers). Law also appeared as a pitcher in 7 games, all as an emergency relief pitcher in games that were already blowout losses. While a position player may occasionally have one or two career pitching appearances (see, for example, Rocky Colavito), seven such appearances is an extraordinarily high number. Law finished all 7 games he appeared in, and had a career ERA of 3.38 in 8 innings.
Coaching career
Law became head baseball coach at Brigham Young University in 2000. Following the 2012 season, Law did not have his contract renewed. Law was 397-347-2 as head coach over a 13-year span.[2]

I love a change of season! While sometimes you may not quite be ready to farewell the season you're departing, like swimming in the summer *sigh*, a new quarter brings with it the opportunity to reset, reflect and ground yourself. There is no better way to ground yourself than focusing on what's under your feet, taking a look at the earth and understanding what it provides for us all both naturally and in abundance.
When we come into glorious autumn here in Australia, we don't quite see our entire flora change colours and shed their foliage, but the areas that do are still delightfully spectacular. The change in temperature and earlier sunsets are a gentle transition into a cold dark winter (yes, dark, I totally suffer a little seasonal affective disorder in the winter). Anyway, the cold and dark often inspires warmth in our food, warmth in colour, spice, and temperature and a welcome shift away from the cold, fresh, crisp summer salads. We gravitate towards the comfort of our cardigans and doonas in the form of food.
So, let's wrap ourselves up in autumnal goodness and take a look at what's in season, both what to pick and what to plant. By picking, cooking and consuming what is in season, we are doing some wonderful things. We are supporting our local farmers and buying sustainable, environmentally friendly and super nutrient-rich produce. You'll find fruit and veggies that are in season are cheaper to produce and therefore cheaper to buy. I know I have said it before, but I really can't stress this enough – eating produce that is in season is experiencing it at its absolute best, best flavour, best texture and most of all most nourishing! In autumn you can both spoil yourself with rich comfort food and reap the health benefits of some of the season's finest produce. Look out for my 'ingredient focus' blogs throughout autumn, revealing some of nature's best-kept secrets about mushrooms, figs, and watermelons. For maximum flavour, a super nutrient boost and minimum financial commitment, get creative in your kitchen with the following this autumn:
- Figs – full of fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Find out more about figs with my figs in focus blog 'All FIGured Out.'
- Peaches – low in saturated fat and delicious when prepared for both sweet and savoury dishes.
- Pears – rich in vitamin C and copper, lovely grilled in a salad.
- Watermelon – so refreshing, for those sneaky warm days.
- Plums – sweet but less likely to cause spikes in blood sugar.
- Beetroot – a great source of iron and folate, not to mention delicious hot or cold.
- Broccoli – contain powerful antioxidants.
- Cauliflower – a great alternative to rice.
- Cucumber – contains multiple B vitamins.
- Mushrooms – where to start? Check out my ingredient focus blog; mushrooms are magical (and I don't specifically mean the 'magical' variety!)
- Pumpkins – great for heart health and those of you with high blood pressure.
- Tomatoes – rich in vitamin K and so versatile.
- Zucchini – so versatile, a great alternative to pasta and noodles. Good source of omega-3 fatty acids (good fats!)
- Sweetcorn – loaded with goodness that promotes healthy vision, try your organic and heirloom non-gmo varieties.
- Snow peas – rich in vitamins E and C.
- Sweet Potatoes – low in sodium and fewer calories than regular potatoes. Fantastic earthy flavour.
Make the most out of sweet potatoes with my alternative shepherd's pie recipe (using 'oh-so-comforting' slow cooked beef brisket). If you're still transitioning from summer and are clutching onto those salads, then my lunchtime adventures Poke Bowl and Beef Salad will make the very best of your snow peas, beetroot, cucumber, pumpkin, broccoli, zucchini, and cauliflower. For those in a rush, you can't go far wrong with a bit of heartwarming mushrooms on toast, especially when mushrooms are abundant and super delicious!
Now that we've discussed what to eat, which is very often my favourite subject, let's have a look at what to plant. I am hopeful that your veggie patches have brought you much joy over the summer season and, if they're ready for something new then look no further than these… beetroot, beans, broccoli, capsicum, cauliflower, carrots, celery, eggplant, melon, parsnip, potato, sweet potato, pumpkin and cucumber which will all flourish in autumn's conditions. For all you herby folk coriander, fennel, garlic, marjoram, oregano, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme will love the slightly cooler temperatures and increased rainfall.
Perhaps you'll miss summer dreadfully; maybe you cannot wait for the autumn breeze and cosier nights, whatever your preference let food help you to embrace the change in season and enjoy what nature has to offer us. In Australia, we can be sure it will be plentiful, soul-nourishing and rich in variety.

Jose Mourinho is determined to land his second piece of silverware as Manchester United manager at Wembley next month.
United will face Hull in the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final tie on Thursday night and are in a strong position to reach the final after winning the first leg 2-0 just over a fortnight ago.
Red Devils boss Mourinho has enjoyed vast success in the competition since arriving in England in 2004, winning it three times during two separate spells as Chelsea manager.
It is a competition which is often devalued by other Premier League managers but Mourinho holds it in high regard.
"I have a special feeling for every competition," he said. "Every club should enjoy being in big matches, in finals. It doesn't matter how many titles the club won before.
"I think we should be really focused on trying to go to the final. It's Wembley, it's a title, it's an occasion for a demonstration of love for the club with 30-40,000 fans travelling to London. I would like to go to the final."

Please take a look at the many objections already submitted against the new 'Dairy' planning application at Crouchland Farm. Many of these early objections raise the issue of animal welfare. We are wondering if Sainsburys condone this intensive farming, preventing cows from walking outdoors or grazing grass.
Animal welfare is very important but is not a decisive planning issue. The questions that you may like to think about before you write your letters are given below.
Planning application number; 16/02841/FUL;
Date that comments must be received; 17th October
Description; 'Proposed demolition of existing farm building and construction of a dairy unit with associated infrastructure, access and replacement of workers accommodation'. Crouchlands Farm Rickmans Lane Plaistow Billingshurst West Sussex RH14 0LE
Address to write to; (using your own words)
Andrew Frost, Head of Planning Services, Chichester District Council, East Pallant House, 1 East Pallant, Chichester, West Sussex, PO19 1TY.
If you prefer to send your comments via the internet, please login and make your comment here;
Read the other objections already submitted online.
Please call 'PORE' on 01403 871472 should you wish to talk to someone about this.
Size. The new building is a 152m x 79m x 10.5m high industrial type shed. By way of a comparison, the new Easyjet aircraft hangar at Gatwick is 5,490m2 and is less than half the size of the proposed dairy building alone. The proposal would increase the footprint of the farm development as a whole by 250%. The scale and mass of the proposed structure is enormous and completely out of character with the surroundings. The size is such that it would have a major impact on the landscape and rural character of the area
Impact on Historic Environment. It would dwarf the immediately adjacent Grade 2 Listed Crouchland House (and other Grade 2 Listed buildings) – with impacts including setting, views, noise, odour, access
Increase in HGV/vehicle movements by at least 55% on local lanes. Feed and bedding will need to be brought in for the 1300 cows, which will not have any access to fields. More digestate will be produced from the substantial slurry which will be put in the AD plant, so more HGVs exporting digestate. Many farm vehicles shunting feed, manure, silage etc across both sites. Remember that the access lanes have been deemed unsuitable for any increase in HGV movement – and would present a 'detriment to highway safety'
Increase in noise and odour. With 750 cows replacing the current 300 in the existing dairy – plus and extra 550 in the new dairy building, there would increase in all activities thereby raising noise and odour issues. All farmyard muck will have to be continually transported from the new site to the digesters 24 hours a day.
Environmental Impact; 7 acres of pasture field would be concreted over for this development. The field has Ancient Woodland along the east and south sides. Badgers live in the adjacent woodlands. Barn Owls forage over the field and roost within 100 metres. Great Crested Newts are common in the ponds within 1 km of the site. The Barbastelle Bat and the Bechstein's Bat (both Annex II Species and therefore European Protected Species) have been recorded within 1 km of the site, but no Bat Survey has been conducted.
Financial viability. The Council must satisfy themselves that the huge investment of £3-5 million to reverse the fortunes of a loss-making dairy will not leave us with a redundant building which could then be put to alternative, unwelcome use.
B1 Use. We believe that this development should be for a purely 'Agricultural use'. However this application seeks to include 'B1 use' which is defined as;
Use for all or any of the following purposes— (a) as an office other than a use within class A2 (financial and professional services), (b) for research and development of products or processes, or (c) for any industrial process,
being a use which can be carried out in any residential area without detriment to the amenity of that area by reason of noise, vibration, smell, fumes, smoke, soot, ash, dust or grit
Consideration of waste disposal. This proposal will generate a substantial amount of cow waste which they propose to dispose into the digesters (half of this digester capacity is subject to appeal in June 2017) and into lagoon 4 (also subject to appeal at the same time). What provision do they have should their appeal fail? Should a decision on this application be refused on the basis that they do not have a secure waste disposal plan in this Nitrate Vulnerable Zone. On top of this, the extra digestate will be stored in the enormous lagoon 3 which is also subject to appeal in June 2017. Where will digestate be stored should the appeal fail?
Site location would be better within the existing farmyard. If the appeal for the AD plant is refused in 2017, then this would free up space on the existing site following the removal of the unlawfully developed areas (which include digester 3, lagoon 4, separator, flare, PURAC gas cleaning system, upload stanchions etc). The existing dairy (built to milk and adequately store milk from 700 cows) plus the area released by the removal of the unauthorized structures would provide space to build the new/extended dairy facilities. This would eliminate the loss of open countryside and any requirement to build on a green field site.
No need for new on-site accommodation. The current accommodation at Hardnips Barn and cottages at the entrance are sufficient, especially in view of the technological advances with 'Alert' systems from the dairy building. Dairy workers could assemble within minutes, should there be a problem.
Contrary to many policies within the Chichester Local Plan. To view the policies, see weblink; http://www.chichester.gov.uk/newlocalplan

Heading into week 9 of the college football season, one might need a breather from the past few weeks, with upsets and close games a more common theme than not. No rest however, as week 9 gives us a handful of must watch games. Here is my Top 5.
#5-USC vs. Arizona State. Yes, this one. A 10:45pm eastern time kick. Don't go to sleep on this one. Here is a few reason's that I picked this game. One, I will be attending it, so that is the biggest reason. Second, if your Washington, and still want a chance at making it to the College Football Playoff, I would think you would want ASU to keep winning, the only team to knock you off this season, and hope they represent the Pac 12 South in the championship game at 9-3, and you could avenge your only loss, much like Oregon did in 2014 to Arizona. Plus, ASU has won back to back Pac 12 games against Washington and Utah, and has looked pretty stout. USC still has plenty to play for, a possible 10-2 regular season and a shot at winning the Pac 12 title.
#4-Georgia vs. Florida. What used to be called "The World"s largest outdoor cocktail party". Some might say that this should be an easy game for the Bulldogs, my #2 team in the country. But watch out for Florida. Still an outside chance to win the SEC East, and a win over one of their biggest rivals would definitely right the ship, from what has been a rocky season. Georgia, coming off a bye week, should be rested, but the Gators have won the last 3 in this matchup. Georgia also has South Carolina and a road game against Auburn coming up the next two weeks. No chance however they look past the Gators who have lost to Michigan, LSU and Texas A&M this season. The last two by a combined 3 points.
#3-TCU vs. Iowa State. Can't believe I'm saying that, but have you actually seen how good ISU has played this season? The "upset" win over Oklahoma is just one notch on their belt. I still think that the Horned Frogs are the most complete team in the Big 12, they run the ball and play defense, something that we are not accustomed to in that conference. However, this will be a tough atmosphere to play in this Saturday, and could go a long way in setting up TCU on their way to a possible title run. Iowa State has only one win in the series with the Frogs, a 37-23 victory in 2006. TCU has Texas and at Oklahoma the next two weeks. Good luck.
#2-N.C. State vs. Notre Dame. Who honestly thought this would have this much riding on it back in August? The Wolfpack is coming off a bye, and has an actual league game next Saturday against Clemson on their mind. They have won 6 straight since losing on the opening weekend to South Carolina, which includes a road win over Florida State, and most recently a home victory over Lamar Jackson and Louisville 39-25. The biggest question for N.C State is have they built the kind of program that can win in back to back weeks against quality competition? This is easily their biggest game under Dave Doeren, and might be the biggest game in some 5 to 10 years. For the Irish, can they maintain the same emotion that carried them through a pasting last week of USC? This game last season was played in a hurricane, literally, and forced head coach Brian Kelly to be questioned about some of the decisions that he made. No question's lately, winning has quieted the critics, and another win places Notre Dame squarely in the playoff conversation, if last week's win didn't already do that.
#1-Penn State vs. Ohio State. I think regardless of either team's record coming into this game, we would consider this to be the highlighter of the weekend. After what happened last year with the blocked field goal returned for a touchdown, then Ohio State making it into the playoff and Penn State left out, what more can you ask for? Oh, and you have two Heisman Trophy candidates on each side of the field in Saquan Barkley for PSU, and J.T.Barrett for the Buckeyes. The winner is of course not assured of anything, but it will go a long way in setting up whichever team that is, to go to the playoff. Each team still has pesky Michigan State on the schedule, Penn State has them next week, and of course Ohio State still has Michigan left at the end of the year. This one could be one of the biggest games of the season, and quite possibly one of the best regular season games in quite some time.
Enjoy the games this weekend, I know I will. I will take a look next at my top 10 teams in the country, and just in case you haven't peaked ahead to the week 10 slate, do that, it is outstanding.

Where are you located and do you travel?
We are located in the lovely City of Cardiff, South Wales but willing to travel all over UK, Ireland and internationally. Please note that destination weddings will be an additional cost and included in the price.
What is your photographic style?
I would definitely say elegant, timeless, fashion conscious and authentic with a splash of romance.
How can i book a consultation with yourselves?
You can either fill out an online form on this website by clicking on the 'contact button' and scroll down to the 'contact us' form snd leave details of your name, email address and for subject 'wedding enquiry or engagement' and enter your message giving us some basic details like the date you are possibly looking to book. Click submit and I will get back to you within 24 hours to answer any queries and arrange a face to face meeting or if preferred, a conference call.
How do I know which package to go for?
Each investment has its own features and benefits. Only you know what is within your budget and what is required. It is a daunting process trying to decide but just remember, it does not matter which investment you choose, we will always do our upmost to photograph exactly what you need beautifully.
Once I have booked with yourselves, when will I know the booking is secured?
Your booking is only secured once you have signed the retainer and paid the deposit.
How much is the deposit and will what if I decide to cancel?
hopefully you wouldn't want to cancel! however, the deposit is charged at a fee of £250 and is non refundable.
What if I am unsure which photographer to go with and time is running out?
obviously, as photographer's we are very busy and cannot guarantee that someone else may take the date your looking to book if they are happy to go ahead but we do however try to keep the lines of communication open with you and let you know if anyone else is looking to go ahead on that date. We will contact you giving you preference if a decision hasn't been made just to make you aware. We do not believe in forcing people to go ahead if their heart is pulling another direction. We can only hope that you do follow your heart and choose what is best for you! Think about how we make you feel, do you like our work and are we your cup of tea? You really do pay for what you get especially in this digital day and age. We will always endeavour to help you!
If we have booked when do we pay the rest of the fee?
After you have booked you can sit back and sort out all the other important details. We require the final balance to be paid in full no less than 2 weeks before the official wedding day. We will send you an invoice for the final bill as a reminder 3 weeks before the wedding date.
Once I have booked what happens next?
Well, firstly we would jump for joy! Shortly after we would send you your receipt and then get to work on the details of you wedding in a bit more depth. We will send you a form with all the particulars on like the order of the day, who would be in the family photos and its more of a check list really of the things we would have spoken about previously, just to ensure we capture everything and more on the day. We go and view the location if its somewhere we have not had the pleasure in shooting ( if its a little closer to home and not a destination wedding) just to make sure we know all the fabulous angles to shoot you in and to get an idea of how the day would run, what the space is like and how we are going to construct your photoshoot and make it so a it runs flawless on the day. We will keep you updated of our findings and if necessary, make any changes at your request.
You also have an option to purchase an engagement shoot so as you can truly feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera with us, which in turn will put you at ease on the day!
What if your equipment breaks down and are you insured?
The answer is yes we are insured and if any equipment breaks down, we have back up gear at all times. I always carry extra camera bodies with me, a selection of different lenses, quite a few flashguns, external studio lights and back up batteries, lots of cards to capture onto and also two external hard drives and a laptop that I continually back up onto throughout the day. It is such a big fear for photographers that something somehow could break or doesn't work and we are pretty vigilant on making sure we are fully backed up at all times. You hear quite a few horror story's and this is something I would never want to happen to me!
Do you have a back up photographer and assistants?
We do indeed! Normally I work weddings with myself and an assistant photographer. This is to ensure all alternative angles are covered as it is physically impossible for me to be in two places at once at all times, and they are amazingly talented! We often go out and test shoot to ensure that we are on the same page and if any training in any areas are required. We aim to give you consistency and work efficiently with one another. Weddings are fast pacing and things can change like weather etc at moments notice, so all hands definitely are on deck to ensure we provide the best work for you.
Would we be obliged to feed you on the day?
Well let me tell you it would be fabulous if you do, however, we do understand that weddings are costly and i'm great at making jam sandwiches so just let me know if you are going to feed us and if not I will remember to pack my lunch box. We start our working day long before everyone is getting ready and often arrive at the venue hours before hand to check everything is ok and work until the wee hours, so we only eat when you eat besides, no one wants us to take pictures of the wedding guests eating food.
How do we receive our images and how long does it take to edit them?
We aim to supply you with your images within 4 weeks of your wedding day presented to you in a hand crafted box, with a diamond and sliver heart shaped USB with high resolution images for print and for social media. We also send you digital images sent to your email before you receive your gifted box where you can easily view all your images on your phone or computer and share them with your friends and family and social media. You can also like each picture separately, allowing us to view your favorite's so as we can supply you with an app of your favorite 100 photos to keep on your mobile phone or device.
Do you supply prints?
We do! At an additional cost using link we send to your email address, you can order prints of an array of different sizes and even order canvas,s directly from your phone or computer. There are no limits on how many prints you can order, so for people that were unable attend for whatever reason can purchase them or you can gift it to someone. If you require wedding albums we would ask you to let us know which images you like (typically around 15-20 best images) and we can design a wedding album, order and deliver it to you personally at an additional cost.

5 hours south of Cape Maclear was a place called Zomba, which I read had some good hiking, and I was keen to get some sort of exercise in after hanging out on the lake for the last 2 weeks. I stayed at a place called Casa Rossa, a surprisingly good Italian restaurant that also had rooms. I was the only person staying there at the moment. I did some hiking the next day up in the plateau, which was nice enjoyable, with good views over Zomba town. But being all alone I was a bit bored and headed on after two nights to Blantyre, the second largest city in Malawi.
First order of business, apply for my Mozambique visa. I needed a passport photo, copy of my bank account, and hotel bookings. I had read online that one hotel booking should be sufficient, so I went on hostelworld and booked some dorms, only having to put 10% down. After printing everything out I was on my way to the embassy, where I was told I could only get a 7 day visa with 4 days of hotel bookings. Well I wanted more than that obviously, so I had to go back to hostel and fire up my good ole friend Photoshop, and start working away to come up with three weeks of hotel bookings. This was a giant pain in the ass of course, but obviously much better than paying for real accommodation, as I didn't know exactly where I was going yet. I went back and they were satisfied, I just had to go to the bank, to pay the $81, and come back with the receipt.
This also proved much harder to than I expected as I couldn't change kwacha to dollars at any of the banks because I didn't have my passport. So I had to do it with some guys on the street, which turned out ok, besides the horrible exchange rate I got. And it was back to the embassy a third time, where they told me it would take three days. Just enough time to get some hiking in!
Two hours away is the Mulanje massive, a fairly surprising string of granite peaks in SE Malawi. So the next morning I took the minibus there, and started walking towards the Forrestry Office, 10kms up the road. I was hoping to start my hike this afternoon, but considering there were no buses to the office, the actual trip would have to wait until the next morning. The walk on the road was very pleasant though! At some point not far away from the main town I met a guy on the road who was also I guide, and he took me on a shortcut, to get to the lodge. He was actually just hiding me from all the guides in town, who would all be offering me their services. I had read that the most fair thing to do was book one from the office, as they supposedly had some sort of rotation system in place. Well I decided on a 3 day, 2 night hike, at the set price of $25/day which is an insanely good days wage in Malawi. I asked if I could get a discount on the last day as it would only be a few hours walk down. He said no. And oddly enough my guide turned out to be the guide who brought me there to the office. Weird! I sensed some shady dealings at work.
So we left at 7am the next morning to start the hike up into the mountains. It was steep, but nothing too bad. The way it was discussed was that I'd be hiking for most of the day and then climbing the highest peak the next morning. But we arrived at the hut at noon, and it was windy, cool, and misty, and I would have absolutely nothing to do for the rest of the day. So I told him I wanted to keep hiking. So we did another three hours of hiking and ended up a different lodge, this one actually had some other people in it, thank god! Two British girls, on break from their medical clinic work, were also there for the night.
So it was nice having some people to talk to as we cooked up our dinners. A dehydrated meal of Kung Pao chicken for me, and a much more cumbersome meal of rice, beans, potatoes, peppers, and onions for them. That's why they needed a porter! They also made me some extra porridge in the morning, how very British! They also informed that the guides are supposed to be a negotiated rate, and theirs was less than half of what mine cost. Hmm.
The next morning the guide and I set off to climb one of the nearby peaks, which was about a two hour round-trip affair, with really nice views all around. As we were hiking I decided I'd rather end the hiking this afternoon, rather than finish tomorrow morning, kind of annoyed that he and the guy in the office lied to me about the prices. Plus I was paying him a full days rate for only a 2 hour walk down the mountain the last day. Of course he got upset that I said I was doing 3 days and now was only doing 2. I told him that I knew he lied to me about the price and I should only be paying half of what I was paying, and that I didn't like how he took me on the shortcut to keep me away from talking to any other guides in town. So in the end, it was a long, quickly paced, awkward walk down the mountain. I paid for my 2 days at $25 like I'd agreed, plus a few extra for the cancellation, and that was that. A motorcycle ride and minibus later I was back in Blantyre.
I picked up the visa the next morning and was off into a brand new country a few hours later: the Portuguese speaking country of Mozambique!
