London stabbing: Man killed near Turnpike Lane Tube station
A man in his 30s has died in a stabbing near a north London Tube station.
Police and ambulance crews were called to Green Lanes near Turnpike Lane station at 21:47 BST on Saturday to reports of a "seriously injured" man.
He had suffered stab wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene, the Metropolitan Police said.
The force has begun a murder investigation - its 74th in the capital so far this year.
Police believe they know the identity of the man, and formal identification and a post-mortem examination will take place next week.
So far, there have been no arrests.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said he was due to meet Home Secretary Sajid Javid on Monday morning to "discuss how we address the scourge of serious violence across Britain".
He added that his "thoughts are with the family and friends of the victim".
Turnpike Lane and nearby roads - including Ducketts Common, where police believe the victim may have been stabbed - remain cordoned off while investigations are carried out.
Turnpike Lane Tube station is open, but 15 local bus routes are being diverted.
- Met gang database 'not fit for purpose'
- Violence on London's streets 'must stop'
- Can Scotland help London stop violent deaths?
Last month, members of the London Assembly launched an urgent investigation into the recent surge in violent crime in the capital.
Of the Met's murder investigations this year, at least 46 involved knives, while there have been 10 in which guns were used.

The event focused on the importance of both traditional locations and smart cities.
Then, Sukhum Karnchanapimai, permanent secretary at the Public Health Ministry, promoted medical marijuana use at the event.
The prime minister said substances from cannabis needed to be handled carefully and that medical use was aimed at helping people with low income access affordable medicines. He, however, warned that without supervision by medical professionals, it could be harmful.
Prayut later launched the website www.medcannabis.go.th, which provides information about medical marijuana use to the public.
He also set an example by inhaling cannabis oil and applying it on the back of his ear and said that he was going to buy the oil and try it later.

Young Adult
In a work this personal and import-
ant, it's vital to utilize a narrator
who engages the listener and
renders an authentic interpretation
of the writer, both physically and
emotionally. Neela Vaswani does
this admirably. She sounds like
Westerners would imagine
Yousafzai, now slightly older than
when we first heard of her, would
sound. Vaswani's Indian accent is
far from overpowering, and her
diction is crisp and easy on the
ear. Her cadence also adds to the
realism of the reading. While the
book is aimed at young adults,
adult listeners should find equal
pleasure in it.
We Were Liars, narrator
Ariadne Meyers's tone is candid as 17-year-old Cadence Sinclair
Eastman reveals ugly realities about her proud, wealthy family.
She harshly judges them from a secure position as one of "the
Liars"—the younger generation of teens who spend summers on
an exclusive island. Soon Meyers reveals the opposing views
of a teen named Cady. She suffers crippling headaches and is
gripped by a tragedy that lurks at the edges of her unstable mind.
Meyers's expression of Cadence's pain is raw and startling, as is
the Liars' tragic response to her unlocking of secrets.

You are a writer. Whether it is a grocery list or an e-mail to a friend, you write every day. Why not do it for fun with an informal group of folks who enjoy playing with words?
"The Writers' Group" is a rather high- falutin' title for just such a gathering. We meet at 11:50 a.m. on Sundays in the Library. Our leader, Paula Adams, gives us a brief "prompt" to stimulate creativity and then we write for a few minutes on either that prompt or something entirely different if the spirit moves us.
The responses are sometimes funny, sometimes serious, always confidential and sharing them is optional. As one of our group says, "Writing is so therapeutic and releasing. Often you don't know what you're thinking until you write it down." Writing is also a good way to release joy and create beauty in the world.
The Writers' Group is a unique way of becoming better acquainted with people and recognizing a God-given talent. It doesn't matter if you don't feel your talent is much, the Bible tells you not to bury it. Come join us.

24th July, 2016.
There is quite a bit to see in the area around Cue with Walga (known as Walgahna to the Indigenous people) Rock and Big Bell township being among the more notable.
Our first stop was the ghost town of Big Bell. Very little remains of the town which was abandoned in the mid 1950s when the local mine closed.
The most substantial structure still standing is the old pub building. The art deco design is still obvious.
Various churches seem to have been more solidly built than any dwellings as they are the only other structures remaining.
Amazing ingenuity of the pioneers – the Cross in the Church is made of star pickets and pipes.
The water tower still seems to be in good repair and there was a cache located nearby.
Next stop was Walga Rock which is located on private property but with public access allowed. The rock is claimed to be the second largest monolith in Australia. Its gallery of Aboriginal rock art a drawcard for visitors.
It was difficult to get decent photos of the artworks but we did our best. This depiction of what appears to be a 3 masted sailing ship is quite controversial. More information about the rock and the paintings can be found here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walga_Rock
The wildflowers will be stunning in a week or two.
The search for the Geocache here meant quite a climb, at times fairly steep. I gave up halfway and appointed myself photographer. When Erich retrieved the cache there was no pencil or pen to record the find. Guess who had our pen? So a laborious walk back down to get the pen from me and back up to the cache again. When he opened the log notebook, there was a pencil inside!
While I waited for Erich to descend, I took a couple of panorama shots from my position.

I was saddened by the story of three-year-old Evra Mudaali in the Saturday Vision of June 26. She was gruesomely killed and her body was found dumped at the shores of Lake Victoria.
The story says Mudaali's parents left her with the grandmother who is allegedly implicated in her murder. Mudaali is not the only one who has died due to child sacrifice. Last week, in Tororo where I live, a one-day old baby was allegedly stolen by a woman who had befriended the mother in hospital. Fortunately, the Police in Tororo coordinated with their counterparts in Kampala, where the baby was rescued.
In the same paper, there were five other cases of children either defiled or sacrificed. This is so sad for our nation. Innocent children are being killed by selfish people. Why deny the children their lives? Why are the perpetrators heaping curses on our nation? Children are innocent and should not be killed in the name of wealth or marital wrangles. Parents can prevent child sacrifice by giving their children basic training.
When we were growing up, our parents taught us how to behave in society. For example, we were taught how to greet people and make sure we were home before nightfall. But today, walk along the roads and you will find children below 15 years at 9:00pm sent to buy an item from the shop without an adult.
Parents should reconsider their busy work schedules and incorporate their children's needs. Children thrive under the guidance of parents.
What does it benefit a parent to work so hard and end up frustrated because his children have not succeeded in life?
Apart from parents, the Police too can stop child killers in their tracks. I suggest the Police use harsh methods like shooting to crack down on these heartless child killers.
Finally, we seriously need to pray about child killers. Our nation needs deliverance and God's intervention. Jesus Christ, on the verge of his death, in Matthew 26:47-55, told the people who arrested Him that all who draw the sword, will die by the sword.

Together we can end child murders

Russia seems to have come up with a know-how to convert excess cheap gas into foreign currency by selling nitrogen fertilizers to Ukraine, while the last four seeding campaigns saw the accelerated seizure of the Ukrainian market by Russian producers of nitrogen fertilizers, which resulted in serious losses and damage to the Ukrainian economy and industry, Dzerkalo Tyzhnia weekly wrote.

Ultimate marvel and as it was called later ultimate comics can be quite a vitriolic subject amongst fans, some love it and some hate it this will be the first post of a series, starting with The Ultimates let's meet them.
I think this has to do with the flavour of the characters, our true blue Captain America doesn't just have the back story of being from WW2 he actually feels that way
this captain will happily use a gun as well as a shield, he is a soldier after all everything from his look to his vocabulary is a patriot born and raised in 1940's brooklyn even his less than politically correct views of France (too any French readers I don't hold the same opinions as used by Cap but i'm glad they were used simply for authenticity)
and the same care for character was taken with everyone Tony Stark is quite often seen drinking but rarely does he slide over into full on intoxication (when questioned on whether he should drink so much before suiting up he replies "of course I do, who would climb into it sober" a hint I believe to the panic he feels at these super-powered fist fights) despite the iron man armour he feels that he's just a normal guy (albeit genius billionaire) in a suit as evidenced during a fight with the hulk when he wants to leave as he feels he can't do it (an ordinary soldier asks him if not him then who which gives him the courage to get back in there).
Janet and Hank Pym appear to be a wonderful couple at first but it becomes apparent that not all is well in the Pym household giant man and Antman were designed by Hank from studying Janet (SPOILER ALERT: Janet is a Mutant) Hank also has a series of problems including painkiller addiction, jealousy and most heinous of all a history of domestic abuse (Betty Ross knew Janet from college and mentions that even back then he would strike out at her) as for Janet she would apparently make excuses for his behaviour (even after according to Betty, Hank hit her so hard he cracked the roof of her mouth)
despite the appalling nature of these events I'm glad the people at Marvel didn't shy away from them, it makes the characters more interesting to me to see these larger than life costumed adventurers so human.
Thor is an interesting one the official story according to S.H.I.E.L.D. is that Thor is a nurse who had a mental breakdown and started hallucinating.
Thor states that he has always known who he is, but it wasn't till his so-called breakdown that everything became clear that he is Thor son of the Allfather Odin, sent by Odin to protect the world and humanity from collapsing in on itself, which he attempts to do by staging peaceful protests and speaking out against the governments and corporations he believes are going to be the cause of great disaster
Though he believes in peaceful protest if he and his followers are attacked that's when his trusty hammer Mjolnir is brought into the fight
Hawkeye and Black Widow are, besides Iron Man, the most human on the team although it does state that they were augmented it doesn't go into how. (though hawkeye does state his vision was enhanced)
Natasha is charming and often playfully flirts or gently mocks the other members of the team in true spy fashion I believe this is her way of building a sense of camaraderie while keeping her true thoughts to herself
Hawkeye is probably the most well-adjusted member of the team while it doesn't often touch upon his home life we do learn that he has a wife and kids, who he calls before every mission just in case he doesn't come back
In the field hawkeye is a true professional, knowing when to follow orders and when to show initiative.
At the start of The Ultimates comics, Bruce Banner has already been the hulk and cured of the Hulk and heads up the supersoldier program for S.H.I.E.L.D.
often quite unkempt and quiet, he is very introverted and often on the outer edges of the team who are understandably quite wary of him due to past Hulk incidents, he often becomes the target for his wife's anger when things go wrong and she is often seen belittling him.
using Cap's Supersoldier Serum infused blood he mixes this with his Hulk formula and injects himself once again turning himself into the Hulk
before transforming the phones Betty telling her that he had done something stupid, that he had rationalised to himself that by becoming the Hulk again would give the team something to fight, though he confesses to her that he just missed being big
Very different from the big lug we know from the standard comics (Earth 616) this Hulk is the extreme opposite of Banner.
He kills, devours tankers of beer, smashes at the slightest provocation (like Betty being on a date with Freddie Prinze Jr) and even enjoys the odd bit of canniblism
If he want's something he just takes it (I for one am not arguing with this guy)
Well, I hope you have enjoyed my rambling on about the premiere superhero team on earth-1610 I'll return with the other teams and lone heroes in future updates.

Frozen seafood manufacturer Whitby Seafoods says it has been able to double its packaging speed thanks to a new packaging and distribution line from Australian-based processing and packaging equipment provider, tna.
The investment has enabled the frozen seafoods company to meet rising consumer demand by providing additional capacity and seamless integration between systems, helping to save time and increase efficiency.
Whitby Seafoods is based in Whitby, a traditional fishing port in North Yorkshire, UK, and the family company makes frozen seafood products, specialising in locally sourced langoustines – or scampi – that are breaded and sold in bitesize portions.
A recent rebrand included the introduction of new pack sizes ranging from between 200 and 300 grams in a standard pillow bag format.
Whitby Seafoods therefore sought out a flexible packaging and distribution system that would allow it to expand its product portfolio and allow efficient product changes and integration with existing elements of the production line.

Raashaun Casey, better known with his stage name DJ Envy, is an American disc jockey and celebrity who is well known as one of the three hosts of the radio show The Breakfast Club. He's also well known for his high-quality hip-hop musical records and his roles in films. His breakout compilation album The Desert Storm Mixtape: Blok Party, Vol. 1 was a critical success, putting him on the face of the map in the hip-hop industry. His skills have allowed him to produce music not just for himself, but for other artists like Fabolous, Foxy Brown, DMX and Joe Budden. He was also involved in the production of the soundtrack of Cradle 2 the Grave, a movie he had a role in.
DJ Envy – Age, Profile of the DJ
The talented DJ was born on the 3rd of September, 1977 in Queens, New York where he grew up with his siblings. His interest in music blossomed in the early years of his life when he began dedicating his time to pursue the goal. He graduated from Hampton University in Virginia with a bachelor's degree in business administration.
It was in the mid-1990s that DJ Envy began his foray into the hip-hop world, thanks to neighborhood acquaintance Ernesto Shaw a.k.a. DJ Clue. Shaw was responsible for introducing Raashaun into the mixtape circuit, allowing DJ Envy to try his hands on compiling music and making commercial sounds. His dedication allowed Envy to climb up the rank and by early 2000s he was able to work with big hip-hop names like 50 Cent and Jay-Z. He later got signed into DJ Clue's Desert Storm Records. In 2003, DJ Envy released his acclaimed debut album The Desert Storm Mixtape: Blok Party, Vol. 1.
He featured on the Hot 97 radio show Takin' it to the Streets, mixing for it once every month. It was hosted by Angie Martinez until he filled in for her when she got pregnant. He moved up a notch when he became a co-host on the radio station's morning show with Miss Jones. This stint as co-host ended in July 2008 when Miss Jones moved to Philadelphia.
Following this, Envy ran his own shows where he played his mixes and the latest music; The People's Mix and New at 2 on Hot 97, Hip-Hop Nation's afternoon show on Sirius XM radio and a weekend show on Power 105. On the 6th of December, 2010 he joined Angela Yee and Charlamagne tha God to host the Power 105 show The Breakfast Club.
The DJ has had several appearances on TV; from music videos to TV shows like 106 & Park. He has released a record titled Still A Fan featuring songwriter and producer Rico Love. Together with his wife Gia, he hosts a podcast called The Casey Crew. They talk about the ups and downs one encounters in family and relationships.
Family – Wife and Kids
DJ Envy tied the knot with his high school sweetheart Gia in 2001. Nothing is known about where or on what date they got married. Together they have welcomed five children; three girls and two boys. The girls are Madison, London, and Brooklyn. The boys are Logan and Jaxson.
Net worth, House and Cars
It should come as no surprise that someone with DJ Envy's repertoire would have an impressive net worth, which he actually does. It is estimated at $6 million. Couple that with his assets and you'll know that he's living lavishly through his hard work.
See Also: Who Is Seal (Musician), Why Did He Break Up With Heidi Klum, Where Is He Now?
Envy bought a seven-acre home in 2014, which he later put up on the housing market. The mansion has an in-house theater, carnival with rides and even a petting zoo. It's estimated to have a value of $2 million.
The DJ has an extensive car collection that he flaunts on social media. His Instagram page is filled with pictures of him and his cars, and it leaves no doubt in the mind that he is a car enthusiast. Altogether, DJ Envy has shared 13 cars on his page since September 2011; A Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8, 2 Dodge Challengers, a Dodge Durango, Fisker Karma, Bentley Mulsanne, Porsche Panamera, a Ferrari California, a Ferrari 458, a Rolls Royce Ghost, a Rolls Royce Wraith, and 2 Range Rovers.

The Limerick Spring: LULITMI - A new country, a new beginning!
The Limerick Spring: LULITMI - A new country, a new beginning!
LULITMI - A new country, a new beginning! A market place for ideas in democracy and administration.
LULITMI is an intensive, Problem Based Learning (PBL) exercise carried out as a collaboration between first year public administration students in UL and Mary Immaculate College (on the BA Arts programme) and first year community development students in LIT. It also forms part of the programme of the Limerick Spring Festival of Politics and Ideas (www.facebook.com/limerickspring/ or www.limerickspring.com).
Event page on Facebook: www.facebook.com/events/311897475968407
During the market place of ideas students, working in groups, will play the role of democracy and administration innovators tasked to explore ways of governing LULITMI, a country which has miraculously reappeared after being lost for 1000 years, its citizens awakening from many years of dreamlike sleep. The citizens now need the innovators to research and assess different ways to manage the nation's affairs in this new and strange 21st century. In response to questions/tasks posed by LULITMI residents, our democracy innovators will hold a market place of ideas on Thursday February 22nd between 1-3pm, in the Atrium of the Foundation Building, where they will share and persuade people about the best ways of manage the new nation's business.
As well as inviting you, the wider UL population to attend, a panel of 'wise elders', drawn from UL, LIT and the Limerick Spring Festival Committee, will listen to the ideas and will question and challenge the innovators. We invite you to do the same.
This exercise is designed to provide an authentic and locally connected platform for student learning in the field of public administration, politics and community development and hopefully introduces students to many of the graduate attributes promoted in UL. It would be greatly enriched by the collective involvement of the UL community.

Fall officially arrived on September 22, and the weather is set to be fine—even summer-like at times—throughout October. Whether you want to soak up the late-season sun, view fall's changing leaves, or work up a sweat, you'll find something around the Camden Community to keep you busy.
Here's a shortlist of activities:
Wander the leafy paths in North Mississippi Regional Park. On the east end of the Camden Community is a treasure for nature lovers. North Mississippi Regional Park draws visitors for its winding, wooded paths along the riverfront. Bring your binoculars: Deer, beavers, hawks, eagles and great blue herons are among the wildlife that may be spotted throughout the year (5116 North Mississippi Drive).
Explore the Eloise Butler Wildlife Garden and Bird Sanctuary. View the season's changes up close at this destination spot for lovers of native plant and bird species. Nestled on a wooded hillside within Theodore Wirth Park, this sanctuary offers a serene getaway from city life for even those without an intense interest in flora or fauna (1 Theodore Wirth Parkway).
View exhibits at Kroening Center. After your stroll through the woods, check out this kid-friendly interpretive center located within North Mississippi Park. Learn about the history of the Mississippi River and its role in the settlement of the wild landscapes that would ultimately become the Minnesota we know today (4900 Mississippi Court).
Catch a Patriots game. We could have a high school football conference champion in the neighborhood. Patrick Henry High School progressed through its September schedule undefeated, including a 2-0 start in conference play. Home games at Swanson Field (4420 North Newton Avenue) include scheduled match-ups against Columbia Heights (October 1) and Breck (October 19).
Wet a line in Ryan Lake. Those who would rather be fishing can find an urban oasis in the northwest corner of Minneapolis on Ryan Lake. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources notes that bluegill, black crappie, northern pike, and yellow perch may all be caught in this 19-acre lake (Xerxes Avenue and 46th Avenue North).
Join a sports league. Recreational sports leagues for youth and adults are offered at the city's parks. The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board provides opportunities to take part in wide-ranging activities, including football, kickball, soccer and softball (minneapolisparks.org).
Bike, walk or jog Victory Memorial Drive. Never run-of-the-mill, an October walk among the dizzying fall colors of Victory Memorial Drive can rejuvenate and inspire. Cyclists, walkers (human and canine), joggers and Pokémon GO players crowd pathways at peak exercise times, but early risers can have this section of the Grand Rounds largely to themselves (minneapolisparks.org).
This list of seasonal fun only scratches the surface of the full array of opportunities for adventure in Camden. See more October activities you can take advantage in the Community Calendar on page 10. A listing of neighborhood events appears monthly in the Camden News, making it easy to get out throughout the fall and into winter.

Though power supply is restored in some parts, the blame game between President Maduro and opposition leader Guaido continues.
Embroiled in a major political crisis, Venezuela has been witnessing another tussle for the last two days with millions of people going without power.
President Nicolas Maduro and opposition leader Juan Guaido have been rallying supporters across the country amid power supply disruption, which saw much of the country plunge into darkness.
Though electricity supply is restored in some parts of Venezuela after the worst blackout in decades, the blame game between the two leaders continues.

In case you missed it: we previously did a feature on USWNT co-captain Alex Morgan when she made the cover of the 2019 Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition. In the article, we mentioned that she was handpicked a few of her teammates to join her in an attempt to show the youth and diversity of their team. With that as the goal, she was certainly able to get that message across with her picks: Megan Rapinoe, Crystal Dunn, and Abby Dahlkemper.
The USWNT has had a stellar performance so far in the 2019 Women's World Cup in France. As a show of appreciation, we've decided to tell you a little more about them – accompanied by an extensive gallery of these four stars' SI: Swimsuit photo shoots, of course!
Let's start off with a recap of 29-year-old co-captain, Alex Morgan.
Who is Alex Morgan?
In a nutshell, Alex is a professional soccer player for Orlando Pride, international player in the French Cup and Women's Champions League, Olympic gold medalist, World Cup winner, and former US Soccer's Female Player of the Year. So yes, she's definitely quite the accomplished player on the soccer field.
Outside of her athletic achievements, Alex Morgan is also many other things: kids' author, celebrity endorser, actress, and most recently – swimsuit model!
We'll take a quick look at some of her best shots from St. Lucia, but you can always check out our full Alex Morgan feature article and gallery here.
Alex Morgan gallery:
Next up: fellow co-captain Megan Rapinoe.
Who is Megan Rapinoe?
Outside of the USWNT, Megan plays for and captains one of the NWSL teams based out of Washington–Seattle Reigns FC. Just like Alex Morgan, she spent some months playing for a French team for the UEFA Women's Champions League.
She first represented the US on the international stage back in 2006 during a friendly match against Ireland. She needed to sit out until 2009, however, due to two separate ACL injuries. Upon her return to the team, she continued to play in 2010 World Cup qualifying rounds and subsequently made the 2011 Women's World Cup Roster.
Joining Alex at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, she was one of the key players help her team to win the trophy. Most notably in a semi-final match against Canada, Megan became the first player –female or male – to score the rare "Goal Olimpico" at the Olympic Games. A "Goal Olimpico" is a corner kick that converts into a goal without being touched by another player.
As for her personal life, Megan came out as a lesbian in mid-2012 and since then has been an outspoken advocate for numerous LGBT organizations. She has been in a relationship with WNBA player Sue Bird of Seattle Storm. The pair were the first same-sex couple to appear on the cover of ESPN's Body Issue. Megan is also the first openly gay woman to be featured in Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit.
Megan Rapinoe gallery:
Third on our list is Crystal Dunn, wing-back/winger for North Carolina Courage and the USWNT.
Who is Crystal Dunn?
26-year-old Crystal's soccer career started while she was in high school, gaining recognition as a representative both for her school and on a national level. During her 3 high school seasons (missing 2008 due to national team commitments), she scored a whopping 46 goals and delivered 35 assists.
Upon entering college at the University of North Carolina, she also played for the Tar Heels for all 4 years. However, she had to miss part of her junior season to play for the US U-20 Women's National soccer team at the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Japan (where she joined fellow Tar Heels player, Kealia Ohai).
When she finally joined the pro-soccer league, she was the first overall pick in the 2014 College Draft. Back then, she was selected by Washington Spirit. She stayed until 2017, after which she spent one season playing for Chelsea Football Club Women in the Football Association Women's Super League, the highest women's football league in England. She returned to the US the following year to play for North Carolina Courage.
Crystal Dunn played for various youth national teams and in 2013, she received her first call-up to the senior team's training camp. So far, she has been able to play for the national team during the Algarve Cup, 2015 Women's World Cup, CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Championship, and several friendlies.
Crystal Dunn gallery:
And finally, our last USWNT player in SI: Swimsuit is Abby Dahlkemper.
Who is Abby Dahlkemper?
Abby is another young, 26-year-old on the USWNT but this time playing in the center back position. Like her teammates previously mentioned, Abby had a pretty stellar college and national career before playing internationally.
She played for the UCLA Bruins Women's soccer team and helped them win their very first NCAA National Championship in 2013. The following year, she received the Honda Sports Award – given to the best female collegiate athlete across 12 different sports.
Her national career jumpstarted with the Pali Blues in the W-League, the second-tier women's soccer league in the US and Canada. When the franchise announced that it would no longer compete, Abby was then drafted by the Western New York Flash in the 2015 NWSL College Draft. In the same year, she played on loan for Adelaide United in the Australian W-League. When the owners of North Carolina FC bought the WNY Flash, Abby was absorbed to play for the North Carolina. She has stayed with them ever since.
Her international career started in 2013 as a member of the US U-23 WNT. She played in the 2013 Four Nations Tournament and the 2014 Six Nations Tournament, helping the team win the championship both times. She received her first call-up to the USWNT in 2016 but had to sit out until June 2017 due to a sepsis infection. Upon her return, she would start 10 of the 11 final games of the year and accumulated the fifth-highest number of minutes on the team. In 2018, she played in the SheBelieves Cup, the Tournament of Nations, and the CONCACAF Women's Championship.
In May 2019, she made the USWNT final roster for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. This is her first World Cup appearance.

I hope you've enjoyed this comprehensive gallery of the USWNT posing for the 2019 Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit edition!

As you'll have seen mentioned in some of my weekly posts we've been potty training Toddler H for a while. She really started herself, wanting to use the tiny traditional potty we had, telling us when she had wet her nappy, followed by before she wet her nappy, and refusing to poo outside the house.
When we were very kindly sent a Step by Step potty for Toddler H we didn't anticipate what a difference it would make. We didn't realise how yes, potties do differ and a bog standard basic plastic one is ok, but paying that little bit more really does make mummy's life easier. Seriously, it does.
Not only did she get super excited seeing the box, she was so eager to see it and use it, that she pulled it out of the box herself! I've no idea how, as I went to stop a buzzer in the kitchen! I came back through to this sight…
Summer Infant Step by Step Potty Review
The Step by Step potty costs £26.99 and is sold by many retailers such as Argos so is easy to get hold of everywhere. It comes in blue/green or pink/purple. We chose the pink and it's proved a huge hit.
As soon as H saw the picture of it on the box she was shouting at me to open it.
View this post on Instagram
"OPEN IT, OPEN IT" | Someone was very excited by her new "toilet"… So excited as she pulled it out if the box herself handed me the seat that still had plastic wrapping on and told me to open it…. Then sat straight down and did the toilet! Thank you @summerinfant! #pblogger #mummylife #toddlerlife #pottytraining #summerinfant #toddlersofig
As soon as I took the seat out of the plastic she turned around, pulled down her trousers and pants, sat on it and wee wee-d. I was amazed. How can a potty be such a hit?
I think there are many reasons… mostly, because the Summer Infant Step by Step potty has some brilliant features.
Features of the Step by Step potty:
- A subset wee pot with spout, making it so unbelievably easy to empty
- A soft comfy seat
- The top part separates and becomes a seat for the actual toilet, when you get to that stage, and the base turns into a step so the toddler can get there themselves!
- A lid, like a real toilet
- A toilet roll holder
Most of all I think it looks much more like an adult toilet than a traditional potty does. This is a perfect attribute given how much toddlers want to copy their parents, H is always saying "my do it mummy" while trying to take over whatever I'm attempting to do. She's always interested in us and curious, if you've seen my funny things toddlers say – potty training post you'll see what I mean!
Stage 1 – using it as a potty
To use this potty in its first stage mode as a stand alone potty, it's brilliant and so easy to empty, unlike a traditional potty. There is a handle and a spout, so there are no issues with pouring out the contents.
It's a lovely height and so comfy for Toddler H. She's come on leaps and bounds using this and to be honest I'd love a comfy padded seat like that too!
Toddler H loves her "pink toilet", we even took it to Scotland!
She even hugged it when we got back home that afternoon… running into the living room and shouting "my pink toilet" and then doing this…
Stage 2 – using it on the toilet with step
We're not at the stage of putting the seat in the actual big toilet yet, mostly because H is so happy using her "pink toilet" I don't want to rock the boat. I think this potty is so versatile and long lasting because you can use it as a step and toilet training seat. So no need to buy those other items for the toilet. The box says it last from 18 months to 5 years… which is brilliant!
Potty Review Verdict
I'd definitely recommend the Summer Infant Step by Step potty as it's comfy, looks like a toilet and has the best designed subset pot I've seen. Seriously, I'd say it's a pleasure emptying this potty compared to the basic ones; easy and mess free. That's a definite #mummywin!

[Enter CHARLES, the BASTARD OF ORLEANS, ALENCON, JOAN] [p]LA PUCELLE, and forces]
Joan la Pucelle
Dismay not, princes, at this accident,
Nor grieve that Rouen is so recovered:
Care is no cure, but rather corrosive,
For things that are not to be remedied.
Let frantic Talbot triumph for a while
And like a peacock sweep along his tail;
We'll pull his plumes and take away his train,
If Dauphin and the rest will be but ruled.
Charles, King of France
We have been guided by thee hitherto,
And of thy cunning had no diffidence:
One sudden foil shall never breed distrust.
Bastard of Orleans
Search out thy wit for secret policies,
And we will make thee famous through the world.
Duke of Alencon
We'll set thy statue in some holy place,
And have thee reverenced like a blessed saint:
Employ thee then, sweet virgin, for our good.
Joan la Pucelle
Then thus it must be; this doth Joan devise:
By fair persuasions mix'd with sugar'd words
We will entice the Duke of Burgundy
To leave the Talbot and to follow us.
Charles, King of France
Ay, marry, sweeting, if we could do that,
France were no place for Henry's warriors;
Nor should that nation boast it so with us,
But be extirped from our provinces.
Duke of Alencon
For ever should they be expulsed from France
And not have title of an earldom here.
Joan la Pucelle
Your honours shall perceive how I will work
To bring this matter to the wished end.
[Drum sounds afar off]
Hark! by the sound of drum you may perceive
Their powers are marching unto Paris-ward.
[Here sound an English march. Enter, and pass over]
at a distance, TALBOT and his forces]
There goes the Talbot, with his colours spread,
And all the troops of English after him.
[French march. Enter BURGUNDY and forces]
Now in the rearward comes the duke and his:
Fortune in favour makes him lag behind.
Summon a parley; we will talk with him.
[Trumpets sound a parley]
Charles, King of France A parley with the Duke of Burgundy!
Duke of Burgundy Who craves a parley with the Burgundy?
Joan la Pucelle The princely Charles of France, thy countryman.
Duke of Burgundy What say'st thou, Charles? for I am marching hence.
Charles, King of France Speak, Pucelle, and enchant him with thy words.
Joan la Pucelle
Brave Burgundy, undoubted hope of France!
Stay, let thy humble handmaid speak to thee.
Duke of Burgundy Speak on; but be not over-tedious.
Joan la Pucelle
Look on thy country, look on fertile France,
And see the cities and the towns defaced
By wasting ruin of the cruel foe.
As looks the mother on her lowly babe
When death doth close his tender dying eyes,
See, see the pining malady of France;
Behold the wounds, the most unnatural wounds,
Which thou thyself hast given her woful breast.
O, turn thy edged sword another way;
Strike those that hurt, and hurt not those that help.
One drop of blood drawn from thy country's bosom
Should grieve thee more than streams of foreign gore:
Return thee therefore with a flood of tears,
And wash away thy country's stained spots.
Duke of Burgundy
Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words,
Or nature makes me suddenly relent.
Joan la Pucelle
Besides, all French and France exclaims on thee,
Doubting thy birth and lawful progeny.
Who joint'st thou with but with a lordly nation
That will not trust thee but for profit's sake?
When Talbot hath set footing once in France
And fashion'd thee that instrument of ill,
Who then but English Henry will be lord
And thou be thrust out like a fugitive?
Call we to mind, and mark but this for proof,
Was not the Duke of Orleans thy foe?
And was he not in England prisoner?
But when they heard he was thine enemy,
They set him free without his ransom paid,
In spite of Burgundy and all his friends.
See, then, thou fight'st against thy countrymen
And joint'st with them will be thy slaughtermen.
Come, come, return; return, thou wandering lord:
Charles and the rest will take thee in their arms.
Duke of Burgundy
I am vanquished; these haughty words of hers
Have batter'd me like roaring cannon-shot,
And made me almost yield upon my knees.
Forgive me, country, and sweet countrymen,
And, lords, accept this hearty kind embrace:
My forces and my power of men are yours:
So farewell, Talbot; I'll no longer trust thee.
Joan la Pucelle [Aside] Done like a Frenchman: turn, and turn again!
Charles, King of France Welcome, brave duke! thy friendship makes us fresh.
Bastard of Orleans And doth beget new courage in our breasts.
Duke of Alencon
Pucelle hath bravely play'd her part in this,
And doth deserve a coronet of gold.
Charles, King of France
Now let us on, my lords, and join our powers,
And seek how we may prejudice the foe.

6 Mistakes to Avoid When Moving Overseas
- Written by Robert Wise
People can be more prone to making mistakes when moving overseas. There are more things to do, more rules and regulations to take note of and more arrangements to make when moving to a different country, compared to moving to another city or a different state. This is why becoming overwhelmed by the whole process is often unavoidable.
Avoiding or minimising these mistakes, is important if you want to have a successful international relocation. Moreover, by steering clear of these mistakes as best as you can, you will be able to enjoy your new life as soon as you step out of the airport.
Below are the top six mistakes you have to avoid when moving overseas, as shared by international removal companies from Sydney:
Not knowing enough information or anything about the country you will be moving to is one of the biggest mistakes you can make.
For starters, if you don't know which items you can't bring to your destination and you pack them in your luggage or boxes, you will encounter a lot of problems at the airport or with your package delivery.
In case you didn't read up on the culture, living standards, and important rules and regulations of the country, you will have difficulties adjusting as well. More importantly, if you don't know which travel documents to prepare, or the correct vaccines and medical documents required, you may even be barred from entering the country.
To avoid these hassles, take the time to read about your destination online. You will find a lot of useful information about the country you are moving to on the Internet.
Poor planning and preparation are the main causes of a stressful, unsuccessful move. This can affect any move, regardless of whether it is an interstate or an international one.
To experience hassle-free relocation from start to end, create detailed lists of everything you need to do before you move. Next, set a timetable or deadline for all of these tasks.
By doing so, you will be sure to stay on top of things. You will also avoid rushing things that may cause you to make even more mistakes.
It is best to make your to-do list as soon as you know you are relocating to ensure you stay organised and on track with your moving plan.
If a removals company will transport and deliver most of your items to your new home, make sure they are all properly packed. If you don't pack your items properly, you will end up opening boxes full of damaged things.
It is therefore important that you use strong boxes in the right sizes, along with other high-quality packing materials. Make sure you follow the right packing techniques for certain items as well. All these will help ensure that all of your belongings will reach your destination in good condition.
Additionally, put some thought into packing your luggage. It should include a variety of clothes, including work outfits and sleepwear. Make sure you pack some toiletries, towels, and bedding as well — items that should last you a few weeks until your mover arrives with your boxes.
Hiring the removalist that offers the cheapest rates could cause you more headaches than you expect. You may end up having numerous damaged items and even lost boxes if your chosen removalist offers a low-quality service.
To avoid this costly and stressful mistake, choose a reputable removalist. Research customer ratings and feedback, experience, and the type of insurance the moving company carries. Additionally, ask for a sample contract and go through all of the terms and conditions carefully.
Since you are moving overseas, make sure you ask the removalist about their experience with international relocation.
One of the last things you want to happen when starting anew in a different country is to run out of funds. As such, when you start planning your move, begin budgeting as well.
When creating your budget, consider the cost of moving and the money you will need until your next pay day or receipt of income or allowance. Don't forget to factor in differences in exchange rates, too.
Make sure you also have money saved to cover emergencies and anything unexpected.
Unless you want to spend months living in a hotel while your goods are in transit or storage, start looking for a more permanent home before your move.
Spend a few hours researching neighbourhoods and properties online. You can also work with a real estate agent who can help you find a good home within your budget.
If you hire a real estate agent, take measurements of everything you plan to take with you and give these details to the agent. By doing so, you will be sure you will be bringing furniture that will actually fit into your new home.
Whether you are moving overseas for a better job, to start a business, or to enjoy your retirement, avoid the mistakes above to ensure that you begin your new life on the right track.
Robert Wise, Sales Administration Manager at Nuss Removals, has been a respected figure in the removals industry for over 20 years. His attention to detail and the ability to truly understand the needs of the customer have ensured the successful relocation of thousands of satisfied individuals and families. For moving and storage across Australia and around the world, Robert's wealth of experience ensures his customers are in safe hands.

Talis Integration
I would like ProQuest to work with Talis to integrate supplier information (book & ebook prices) into the Talis Aspire product. Talis Aspire has become an integral part of our ordering workflow and other book suppliers have already taken the step to integrate using an API. For us, it would create greater efficiency in stock selection as we would not need to login to multiple websites to check for prices and would almost certainly lead to us buying more books and ebooks from ProQuest.
It would also help massively if prices shown were inclusive of VAT & discounts. This links to my other idea on the Idea exchange (https://ideas.proquest.com/forums/915946-oasis/suggestions/35999689-show-vat-and-discount-in-the-price-for-e-books)

A Holyrood Committee has welcomed the Scottish Crown Estate Bill in a report published yesterday (Wednesday May 30), while also suggesting ways it could be strengthened.
The Scottish Parliament's Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform Committee made a series of recommendations followings its examination of the Scottish Crown Estate Bill.
The Bill sets out the long-term management of Crown Estate assets, including 37,000 hectares of land, seabed, coastlines and rural estates.
The Bill aims to create opportunities for local authorities and community groups to run parts of the estate in a sustainable way.
The Bill covers a wide-range of public assets, including the rights to fish wild salmon and sea trout, the management of ports and harbours and offshore renewable energy sites.
Some of the key points in the report include…
- The Committee commends the Crown Estate Scotland (Interim Management) on the progress that has already been made in improving communication and engagement across the estate.
- The Committee particularly welcomes the Bill's approach towards considering wider environmental factors in estate decision-making processes but believes these could be strengthened further.
- Devolving the management of some Crown Estate Scotland assets to local authorities and community organisations is a significant recommendation of the Smith Commission and the inclusion of this in the Bill is welcome.
- Some Scottish Crown Estate assets, such as offshore renewables, energy related assets and other cables and pipelines, should continue to be managed on a national basis. There should, however, remain provision for local authorities to take on the management of such assets where they can clearly demonstrate the appropriate expertise to do so.
- The Committee recommends the Bill should be amended to ensure the seabed cannot be sold. The Committee believes the seabed is a national asset and should be managed nationally.
- The Committee is broadly persuaded of the merits of continued national management of Crown Estate Scotland's four rural estates, but recognises that circumstances may change and it may be desirable to retain the flexibility to have some local management in the future.
Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform Committee Convener, Graeme Dey MSP, said:
"The Bill aims to ensure the estate's assets are managed sustainably by those who are best placed to do so. Whether that's Crown Estate Scotland, a local authority or community group, this Bill is a welcome step forward in terms of community empowerment.
"Since 2017, the Crown Estate Scotland (Interim Management) has worked hard to engage with the estate's tenants and to improve communication with them, which is something that tenants have really welcomed.
"The Bill offers an opportunity to build on this approach and to ensure that environmental factors are always at the heart of the Crown Estate in the future."

The Future Was Going to be "The Jetsons plus Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space plus maybe a David Bowie song." What Happened?
The very excellent Cincinnati magazine interviewed me about my book with Matt Welch, The Declaration of Independents: How Libertarian Politics Can Fix What's Wrong with America, living in the greater Cincy area, and just how disappointing the 21st century has turned out so far. Snippets:
Why did this moment seem like the right one for this book? I really looked forward to the 21st century. I remember thinking it was going to be awesome. It's going to be The Jetsons plus Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space plus maybe a David Bowie song. And the plain fact is that the 21st century has been a complete fucking bust from every level and from any perspective. It really seems to have sucked in many ways.
But in the book you spend a lot of time talking about how great the world is. In many parts of our lives, things are getting much better and freer. You can buy virtually anything you want and have it delivered very quickly. And even more important, you can meet up with people that you never would have stumbled across and build communities and have conversations that extend relationships that would have ended when someone moved out of town. When you go to the grocery store, instead of going to a crappy produce section with one eggplant, you're likely to encounter three or four varieties of eggplant. More important, there's the ability to express yourself not just through creative expression but in terms of your gender and your race and what you like to do.
But not so free politically? But not in politics. When you look at K–12 education and healthcare and retirement, there's a complete disconnect. On one hand, you have this never-ending proliferation of choices and options. On the other hand, the great long-term trend of the past 40 or 50 years is people refusing to identify as either a Democrat or a Republican. And we decided the reason people are leaving those labels and calling themselves Independents is because they don't like what they're selling, which are rival visions of top-down control systems. The book is an attempt to talk about what was working in the non-political arenas to bring people these choices: the airlines, the deregulation of the workplace.
Read more, especially on how "edifice-complex" projects such as publicly funded stadiums and furshlugginer streetcars to and fro nowhere, drain cities of vitality.

Being a truly professional drummer involves more than just making all or part of your living playing the drums. It is an attitude that is developed through experience and self-discipline. It is a sense of responsibility to yourself, to those around you and to those in the audience who have paid for the opportunity to see and hear you.
I will never forget the time a friend of mine and I squeezed into the bar of a large nightclub to hear a famous drummer and his group. The club had a heavy cover charge just to get in. My friend and I were standing and straining to see, because to sit at a table was pretty expensive. However, we had saved up for this, and we were very excited as we anticipated some great music and some great drumming.
The group played about three songs. The drummer, who was the leader, launched into a drum solo. After about a minute, it was apparent that something was not right. The drum solo suddenly began to fall apart. At this point, the drummer jammed his sticks tips d o w n through both drumheads on the snare drum, and stopped playing. He then grabbed a mic' and said to the audience, "You probably didn't like that, but I feel a lot better. Good night!" He left the stage, leaving everyone in the club including his group on stage in a shocked and stunned silence. My friend said, "That's it? Who's kidding who? This wasn't worth the price of admission."
Naturally, my friend was right. In fact, that drummer and his group never worked that club again. I suppose I could say that this particular incident was the most "unprofessional" thing I had ever seen. I found out later that the drummer in question had had an argument with the leader of the group playing opposite him. It had something to do with who finished the show or whatever. At any rate, because of a personal disagreement, a lot of paying customers were not only short-changed, but were insulted as well.
The late, great Louie Armstrong was perhaps the ultimate professional. A pianist who worked with Louie told me the following story. The group was traveling by bus and got caught in a blizzard. They arrived at the concert hall, which seated around 600 people, over two hours late. However, 12 people had braved the snowstorm and had waited patiently for the great Louie Armstrong and his group. When Louie realized this, he told his manager, "Hurry up and set up the instruments and the stage. We're doing our show." When they were set up, Louie approached the mic' and said to those 12 people, "If you wanted to hear me and my group enough to wait, we are going to play for you."
Louie and the group did their regular two-hour concert in a virtually empty hall. There were almost as many people on stage as there were in the audience. Afterward, people cried as they thanked Louie and the group. My friend, the pianist, said, "Louie taught all of us a great lesson that night. He was a giant, not only as a musician, but as a human being as well. He showed everyone in the hall, including the band, what being a true professional was all about."
I went to a drum clinic recently to hear and see a very famous drummer in person. After waiting for an hour and a half, I left. I had other commitments and couldn't wait any longer. Later, I discovered that this was not unusual for this drummer. In fact, he was late more than he was on time.
Being on time is perhaps the first thing to learn about being a real professional. If you are doing studio work, you have to live by your watch, because each date is at a different time. You can't sound good if you are not there. It's true that accidents do happen such as the snowstorm I mentioned. But if they continually happen to the same person, the word gets around fast. Once you get a reputation for being undependable, it is hard to overcome.
Remember, bad news travels fast.
I went to a club to hear a famous trumpet player, now no longer living, perform with his group. The group started, and the trumpet player was soloing. However, as he played, he began, ever so slowly, to lean forward. By the end of his solo, he had leaned over so far that the trumpet was actually between his knees. As the player attempted to stand upright, he fell off the stage, landing on a table. To say that the people sitting at the table were startled would be an understatement. I later heard that this great musician died of a drug overdose at a very young age.
The late Cozy Cole was not only a great drummer and personality, but he was also a real gentleman. My first job in New York was subbing for Cozy for two weeks. Later, I worked opposite him and got to know him very well. One night we got a bit confused on a new arrangement, and our group nearly fell apart. I was really embarrassed, because Cozy and his group were on next. As I came off the stage feeling terrible Cozy put his arm around me and said, "Roy, the next time that happens, play a roll and wait for someone to do something. Never stop playing." Then we both laughed. He really had made me feel a lot better. He put the situation in perspective: We all make mistakes. Don't dwell on them. Just get on with it, and play better on the next set.
Being a professional means playing your best, even if you don't feel your best. It means playing as well as you can even if you are tired from traveling, a bad cold, or lack of sleep.
Being a professional means being considerate of the musicians you work with. A positive attitude from the drummer can change a group's performance for the better. When the drummer lets down, the entire group lets down.
Being a professional means being responsible even in difficult situations. It means not taking your personal frustrations out on your audience or those in the group.
Being a professional means being alert and flexible. If there are problems, keep cool and address them at the end of the show or at the end of the night. Don't let problems spoil your performance on stage.
Last of all, being a professional means loving what you do. It means loving music, drumming, and performing. It means being grateful for the opportunity to do what you love to do and being paid well for it. When you think of it, few people really get that chance. I f you are one of the fortunate ones, be respectful of it. Be a professional.

As he steps down as chair of the Oral History Society, Graham Smith reflects on the changing face of oral history
When Graham Smith (left) first became chair of the Oral History Society he says that most of the oral historians in the UK would have known each other. He may be exaggerating somewhat but over his 12-year tenure the Society – and oral history – have changed and grown dramatically.
He first became involved with the Society in 1985 when its main activities were two conferences a year and the publication of the Oral History journal. Now, as well as an annual conference and the journal, the Society runs training courses in conjunction with the British Library, has an active higher education network and has recently launched special interest groups. The dynamic regional network also connects oral historians locally.
"I wanted to open up the Society when I became chair and that was the drive behind the development of the regional network and more recently the special interest groups. I wanted to change passive members into active members," he says.
However, change is not always easy, he admits.
"We are a successful organisation. We have a large membership, over 900, compared to others in Britain and Northern Ireland. We run a highly-regarded journal – thanks to our excellent editorial team. We organise conferences and seminars. We train hundreds of people every year and provide advice and support through the website and regional network. All this means that we have a lot to juggle. But our success sometimes means we are conservative in development.
"Practically everything that has have ever been proposed to the committee of trustees has been challenged. And quite rightly so. Stuff we now take for granted often started off being controversial," he says.
Now the Society is looking for a new chair to take on the role at a time when the practice of oral history is changing. When Smith first joined the Society sound archivists and researchers in folklore studies were influential. Now, archives, museums and libraries are facing the axe. Oral history that focuses on memory is much more dominant in academia. Community history projects provide invaluable contributions to Britain's intangible heritage, especially through the Heritage Lottery Fund.
However, there are challenges to meet. "There is the ongoing casualisation of the oral history workforce in community settings and continuing lack of status afforded to oral history in academia.
"Oral historians who have been made redundant from the public sector have no other option but to go freelance. However, the precarious nature of their jobs means that it is difficult for them to organise," he says.
"Freelancers need to start arguing for much more permanent money flows. It's difficult but it's necessary. But I fear the tide is going against us in terms of community oral history," he says.
At the same time there is a big rise in demand in oral history from students, demand which has to be welcomed. However, Smith is concerned that universities – with some exceptions – have still to invest in teaching programmes.
"Most have yet to understand oral history as a subject area even when having an idea that it might be good for impact."
He is delighted to see Newcastle University advertising for a professor of oral history – a key, strategic appointment. "Hopefully that won't be a rarity," he says. But too often universities think that oral history can be learned in a two-hour training session, says Smith.
"Where the demand for oral history is coming from is students and younger members of staff. We're not seeing the OHS top downing on this, we're seeing this come from the bottom up. What I hope to do after I've been chair is to think more about how I can support this development. What does oral history look like as a subject area or even a discipline? What skills, knowledge and attributes do you need to impart at undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral level and how do we benchmark this?
"When I started as an oral historian we never claimed to be a discipline. It was based on the idea that this was a method and 'anyone can do it'. We have to move away from this – oral history is a lot more complicated and a lot more difficult than that," he says.
He believes the new chair has to have a vision for the society – a vision that may be very different to Smith's. What's exciting for Smith now is that despite all his "moaning about universities and freelancers" there are a lot more people engaged in oral history today than when he started out. "There is a lot more diversity, experiment and critical thinking."
And, as the chair, he gets to see what's going on, which is a great privilege.
"There's an extraordinary range of stuff going on. That's what's really exciting – you get a scale of the thing as chair. But it's also what concerns me – can we adequately represent that and represent what can be diverse and competing interests? But then that has been an enjoyable part of my role – balancing, or attempting to balance, the different wings the Society embodies."

BARRIE, ON – Second-generation driver Dustyn Momborquette turned in his most impressive season to date during Sunset Speedway's 2017 campaign and he and his family-owned team could not be happier.
"We really wanted this year to be the one that we turned the corner and started to contend," smiles Momborquette. "My Dad and I worked real hard over the off-season to put this new car together and we knew it was going to give us a chance to show how good we could be."
"It was a dream come true from start to finish," continues the Barrie, ON racer. "This car was fast right from practice day, it responded the way we needed it to and it just got better as the year went on."
The 16-year old now has four full seasons of competition under his belt and feels as though he is just not starting to come into his own as a driver.
"I've learned so much in the last four years and I'm still getting better every week," says the Barrie, ON native. "There's so much to adjust to with these cars. It's a process. I can't not smile when I look back at how far I've come. It's been an awesome ride – we're just getting started."
For 2018, Momborquette intends to continue trending upwards, as his family-run operation looks to contend for their first career Super Stock title.
"We'll be back fulltime next year for sure," nods the son of multi-time Sunset Speedway winner John Momborquette. "I just want to keep improving and keep giving our team something to be proud of."
"A championship would change my life," adds Momborquette. "It would be the biggest thing to have ever happened to me. That's how much it means. So, yah, that's absolutely our goal."

Power quality and power monitoring in a modern office building utilizing diverse metering
Tutkimustuotos: Diplomityö tai pro gradu -työ ›

The monitoring and measuring of power quality and power is becoming increasingly important in distribution networks as a consequence of developing electricity markets, distributed generation and the proliferation of power electronics devices. The correct measurements and adequate monitoring result in an effective and secure supply of electrical energy. The studies of the thesis utilize the diverse measurements of the piloted modern office building expanding examination to low voltage distribution networks. During the study, the complete monitoring of the electrical energy system of the building was implemented and the measurements were analyzed focusing on their significant aspects. The thesis consists of three parts considering the theory and practices of measuring, the implementation of the data acquisition system in the pilot building and the analyses of the measurements. First the concerns over power quality and power are discussed in conventional and modern cases and the principles of measuring and the quantities used are described. Also, the consequences of inaccurate power measurements and poor power quality are listed. Then the thesis continues with the introduction of the pilot environment and the ICT system comprising IoT- and Linux platforms. Finally, the measurements are presented by the means of a general overview and more sophisticated analyses of time averaging of power and distortion in current, voltage and power. The analyses focus on total distortion and Fryze's power theory and provide an overview of the electrical behaviour of the building. In addition, various time averages are calculated for active, fundamental frequency reactive and Fryze's reactive power and, also, distortion in current and voltage and their combined effect on Fryze's reactive power are discussed. The time resolution of 1 second was utilized with the different types of loads and the solar power plant. The impact of the solar power plant and electric car charging was found to mainly relate to active power. Ventilation and tenants' appliances were observed to draw the highest distortion current, and thus affect the voltage distortion of the building confirmed by correlation coefficients and random forest method of machine learning. Time averaging of 1 minute was noted to conform with the averages of 1 second. The results indicate that Fryze's reactive power quantifies distortion relevantly and distortion current requires quantification in an absolute manner.

Chinese has been designated as a critically essential language by the US government, and the increasing number of Chinese visitors to Hawaii has resulted in an increased demand for Chinese language instruction.
CHN 101 and CHN 102 serve as elective credits toward the A.A. degree and applies toward the foreign language requirement at UHM. It is also designed to function in harmony with the college's mission (2008-2009 Catalog). It is accessible to all who want to study Chinese, and the instructors hold high standards to ensure students' learning. It prepares students to enter the work force and aids in their personal development. In addition, students will learn to work collaboratively and build leadership skills, problem-solving skills, and establish a network of support among their peers within the community. Moreover, students will have an opportunity to interact with native speakers of Chinese which will broaden their horizons as to the diversity of not only the community they live in, but more importantly the world.

text: Released during the lowkey golden era for soundtracks, the collection of cuts for the first Rush Hour film is a rap and R&B fan's paradise. Not only did it feature the #1 single "How Deep Is Your Love" from Dru Hill and Redman, bit it has Jay Z's "Can I Get A…," Case and Joe's "Faded Pictures," and music from Too Short, Slick Rick, and others. Plus, it had the illest interludes featuring snippets from the film (I know a number of you pause-tape DJs used that "cigaweed" interlude on your mixes, don't front).
