Sun, sea and some of Cardiff's most iconic landmarks provided the backdrop for more than 5,000 runners who took on the Brecon Carreg Cardiff Bay Run.
A total of 4,683 people lined up on the start line after hundreds of families took their first steps at a mass-participation running event during the 2K Family Fun Run. The race took competitors around the Wales Millennium Centre, past the Norwegian Church and along the idyllic Cardiff Bay Barrage.
A staggering 52% of race participants were female, while a group of 10 new running recruits joined Team Healthspan to help kickstart their journeys towards healthier lifestyles.
Cardiff Bay was a sea of red, with thousands of runners turning out in red to get behind the #WeAreRed Campaign, in support of the athletes representing the nation at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games.
At the front-end of the race Charlie Hulson made the most of the sunshine in the Welsh capital to lead home the field to take the tape in 29:32. Hulson was able to break clear at 8K to hold off Cardiff AAC's Matt Clowes to win by five seconds while 2012 olympian Scott Overall was third in 29:48.
"There were a few twist and turns, but it was a really nice course. I didn't feel amazing, but I enjoyed it," said Hulson.
The women's race was won in a course record time of 33:42 by Bristol & West AC runner Eleanor Davis, who ran 14 seconds faster than ever before over the distance.
The 2018 event was as much about the environment as the race. Title Sponsors Brecon Carreg launched the Save the Mermaids initiative with the aim of recycling every plastic bottle used at the race. Hundreds of runners turned out once again to raise money for Official Charity Partner The Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
Runners were delighted to receive technical finishers tees from More Mile, and medals featuring the face of the stunning Pierhead Building. at the finish line, as well as tasty snack bars from More Mile and re-hydration products from Healthspan.
Now part of the Run4Wales 10K Series, the Brecon Carreg Cardiff Bay Run has grown to a pre-race 6,000 sell-out and was preceded by a Family Fun Run. Next race in the series will be the ABP Newport Wales 10K at the end of April. Entries for that race are closing soon.
"It was another magnificent day for the city of Cardiff with a fantastic turn-out of home-based runners. This event now sits alongside the Cardiff University/Cardiff Half Marathon as one of the Welsh capital's premier sporting events," said Run4Wales chairman, Nigel Roberts.

SCVO believes that the policy intent of the Job Grant is right. Many young people will sustain several periods of unemployment since they are also more likely to be offered temporary, entry-level jobs and we support proposals that would help them move back into work.
However, as it stands, we are of the view that the proposed eligibility criteria would result in a significant number of young people being left out and unable to apply for the Job Grant.
Firstly, the issue of benefits must be reviewed. For various reasons many young people do not apply and/or receive any benefits and therefore would not be able to apply for the grant under current proposals.
Then the focus on working on average 16 hours per week or more over a four-week period is also a concern to us. We are concerned that this criterion might be discriminatory towards young people who are unable to work 16 hours or more per week due to personal circumstances.
Finally, SCVO would welcome further clarification and more practical details regarding the application process itself. Again, it needs to be fully inclusive and accessible to all.
The Job Grant is a new benefit designed by the Scottish Government which will be delivered by Social Security Scotland. It will consist of a one-off cash payment of either £250 or £400 (for young people with children). The grant will be paid to 16-24 year olds (up to 26 years old for care leavers) who have been in receipt of a qualifying benefit and out of paid work for 6 months before they receive an offer of employment.
The proposed new grant aims to help meet the initial costs of starting work and support a smooth transition into employment for young people on low incomes.
If no to question 2, please provide comments.
SCVO believes that the point about benefits is an issue. Currently many young people are not on benefits and therefore would not be eligible for the job grant under current criteria. We also heard that some young people who could apply for benefits are not doing so (because of the lengthy process that it involves); they would then not be able to apply for the job grant either.
CJS employees also raised the issue of 16 years old who are not necessarily eligible for benefits and yet are included in the proposal – if they cannot apply for benefits, how could they apply for the job grant? Moreover, if young people still live at home at that age, suggestions were made that their parents' situation could perhaps be taken into consideration instead (e.g. if the parents receive benefits, then young people who are 16 years old could be allowed to apply for the grant).
SCVO understands that the job grant is aimed at young people but the definition (in terms of age) of 'young people' still varies across policies. People felt that allowing people up to the age of 29 years old to apply would be helpful.
Current CJS employees pointed out that to be 6 months out of work is a very long time without help and they believe this criterion should focus on a shorter period of time. Examples were given of people applying for universal credit and having to wait 5 weeks until the first payment; this is already a long time without any money.
On the issue of not having received a job grant previously, it was felt that a timescale should be added to this, e.g. if you have received a Job Grant in the last 6 months then you are not eligible again. Young people are more likely to be offered temporary, entry-level jobs, therefore it would be helpful if they could apply for a grant again.
Regarding the 16 hours on average criterion, this was considered unfair towards people who cannot work 16 hours a week due to a disability or health condition for instance. An example was also given of someone on a zero hour contract working under 16 hours a week (at present they could not apply for a job grant); the same person would then move on to a long term position with more hours but still could not apply for a grant under proposed criteria because they were in work prior to that job offer.
Finally, it would be helpful to have more details regarding the evidence of a job lasting 3 months or more. Which type of evidence would be required in order to apply for the grant?
CJS employees felt that being able to apply for the grant up to 4 weeks after the job started would be more helpful.
Overall it would be useful to have more details about the application process itself – online and paper-based options were seen as essential. Feedback also pointed out that it would be helpful if new employers could help with the process depending on what is required (e.g. not everyone has easy access to a scanner for example to send documents along with the application).
If no to question 4, please provide comments.
Regarding the payment of £400 for young people with children, would the number and age of children be considered for the payment? If so, what are the criteria?
During our consultation event, it was also suggested that it might be good to give young people the option to apply for less than £250 since not everyone has the same requirements when starting a new job.
Do you agree that the proposals for Job Grant set out in this consultation paper meet the policy intent to support a smooth transition into employment for young peopleon low incomes by helping them to meet the initial costs of starting work?
If no to question 6, please provide details.
As outlined in the answers to previous questions, SCVO is of the view that the current proposal would help some young people transition into employment, but many others would still be left out because of the proposed eligibility criteria. More young people would be supported by reviewing some of the issues highlighted in our response.
In terms of promoting the new grant, employees we consulted were clear that schools (career advisors), job centres, Skills Development Scotland (including apprenticeship programmes) would be good places to start with. Advertisements on Facebook, as well as on buses and trains were also suggested.
If yes to question 8, please provide details.
Although people understand why care leavers have slightly different criteria, CJS employees felt that it is essential to focus on each individual's needs and circumstances. For example, some people with disabilities might also benefit from criteria with a wider age range to apply for a grant.
SCVO would welcome further advice as to whether CJS employees would be able to apply for the grant if they move from a CJS position to a permanent job.
Finally, SCVO is also aware of current funds like the Flexible Support Fund from DWP and would welcome further guidance on what would happen to this once the Job Grant is delivered – would it be ok to combine both?
SCVO's policy works to ensure that the needs and concerns of the third sector in Scotland are represented in the Scottish, United Kingdom and European Parliaments.
Is the third sector an economic force?

'Stuff' Folds Into 'Maxim'
By Lucia Moses
NEW YORK The new owners of Maxim and Blender said they plan to pour resources into those titles and confirmed earlier reports that they would fold Stuff as a stand-alone magazine.
Alpha Media Group, the new name for the Quadrangle Capital Partners-backed company that bought the former Dennis Publishing titles, closed on the $240 million-plus deal today.
Longtime Wenner Media exec Kent Brownridge, CEO of Alpha, said he planned to add at least 20 people over the next few months to bolster the titles' cross-selling, marketing, print and online operations. Flagship Maxim's growth has leveled off in recent years, but Brownridge said he plans no major course change.
"It's the largest young men's magazine in the world right now. I'm not going to change anything," he said. "Am I going to try to make it better at what it does? Absolutely."
Meanwhile, he plans to increase Blender's rate base to 900,000 from 800,000 in January 2008 and to 1 million a year later, through a variety of consumer marketing sources.
Stuff will live on as a section, "Stuff for Men," in Maxim. The October issue, which is long past closing, will be the last, although Stuffmagazine.com will continue. Many staffers are expected to remain.
Dennis launched Stuff as a smaller-circulation, shopping-focused title, to block Emap's FHM from gaining ground on Maxim by offering advertisers a lower-cost alternative. But Stuff has teetered between the red and black, and FHM folded late last year (FHMonline.com continues to publish), leading some to question Stuff's reason for being.
This year through August, Stuff's ad pages declined 3.4 percent to 392, per the Mediaweek Monitor. Total paid and verified circulation, meanwhile, declined 4.8 percent to 1.2 million in the second half of 2006, with single-copy sales plummeting 34.9 percent, per the Audit Bureau of Circulations.

ENERGY SOURCES AND CARRIERS
A large majority of currently-known fuels ultimately derive their energy from a small number of sources. Much of the chemical energy produced by life forms, such as fossil fuels, is derived from the utilization of solar energy through photosynthesis. Solar energy in turn is generated by the thermonuclear fusion process at the core of the sun. The radioactive isotopes used as fuel to power nuclear plants were formed in supernova explosions. Energy is at the top of of the political and economical agenda. Following objectives are essential to energy policy today: affordable access to energy; sustainable development of energy production, transport and consumption; and security of supply.
Below some impressions, useful information and references to energy sources and carriers such as chemical fuels, biofuels, hydrogen, fossil fuels, solar energy, nuclear, fission, (artifical) fusion, charcoal briquettes, and coal. New technologies are often combined (hybrid).
<---- Light design for global energy and shadow to prevent global warming
Ion: an atom or molecule that has a non-zero net electrical charge. Since the charge of the electron is equal and opposite to that of the proton, the net charge of an ion is non-zero due to its total number of electrons being unequal to its total number of protons.
Nuclear fuel is any material that is consumed to derive nuclear energy
Biofuel can be broadly defined as solid, liquid, or gas fuel consisting of, or derived from biomass. Biomass can also be used directly for heating or power—known as biomass fuel. Biofuel can be produced from any carbon source that can be replenished rapidly e.g. plants.
Many different plants (such as mais, palmtrees, jatropha, charcoal, agriculture-leavings) and plant-derived materials are used for biofuel manufacture. Perhaps the earliest fuel that was employed by humans is wood. Evidence shows controlled fire was used up to 1.5 million years ago at Swartkrans, South Africa. It is unknown which hominid species first used fire, as both Australopithecus and an early species of Homo were present at the sites. As a fuel, wood has remained in use up until the present day, although it has been superseded for many purposes by other sources. Wood has an energy density of 10–20 MJ/kg. Recently biofuels have been developed for use in automotive transport (for example E10 fuel), but there is widespread public debate about how carbon efficient these fuels are.
Solar energy, radiant light and heat from the sun. Wind energy is the use of air flow through wind turbines to mechanically power generators for electricity.
The voice of the wind industry is WindEurope, actively promoting wind power in Europe and worldwide. It has over 500 members, active in over 50 countries, including wind turbine manufacturers with a leading share of the world wind power market, plus component suppliers, research institutes, national wind and renewables associations, developers, contractors, electricity providers, finance and insurance companies, and consultants.
WindEurope coordinates international policy, communications, research and analysis and provides various services to support members' requirements and needs to help their development, offering the best networking and learning opportunities in the sector.
Hydrogen, an
Fossil fuels, hydrocarbons, primarily coal and petroleum (liquid petroleum or natural gas including shale gas), formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants and animals by exposure to heat and pressure in the Earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.
Since the first airplane took flight over 100 years ago, virtually every aircraft in the sky has flown with the help of moving parts such as propellers, turbine blades, and fans, which are powered by the combustion of fossil fuels or by battery packs that produce a persistent, whining buzz. Now MIT engineers have built and flown the first-ever plane with no moving parts. Instead of propellers or turbines, the light aircraft is powered by an "ionic wind" — a silent but mighty flow of ions that is produced aboard the plane, and that generates enough thrust to propel the plane over a sustained, steady flight. Unlike turbine-powered planes, the aircraft does not depend on fossil fuels to fly. And unlike propeller-driven drones, the new design is completely silent.
Researchers from MIT have flown a plane without moving parts for the first time. It is powered by an 'ion drive' which uses high powered electrodes to ionise and accelerate air particles, creating an 'ionic wind'. This wind drove a 5m wide craft across a sports hall. Unlike the ion drives which have powered space craft for decades, this new drive uses air as the accelerant. The researchers say it could power silent drones.
Solar energy, radiant light and heat from the sun, has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar energy technologies include solar heating, solar photovoltaics, solar thermal electricity and solar architecture, which can make considerable contributions to solving some of the most urgent problems the world now faces.
The Greek Government, has worked on and developed the idea of a mega-project, capable of harnessing the vast solar potential of the region, project "HELIOS" which was presented officially in September 2011, at the 26th European Conference on Solar Energy.
Wind energy is the technology expected to provide the largest contribution to the EU renewable energy targets for 2020 and beyond. The EU currently has the largest floating wind energy capacity in the world - about 70% of the total.
By end 2020, the total installed wind energy capacity could reach 210GW, equivalent to supplying 14% of electricity demand. By 2030 it could reach 350GW, supplying up to 24% of electricity demand. Wind power is already competitive with other sources of electricity in a number of countries.
Offshore wind represents a significant future opportunity: resources are stable, abundant and public acceptance is higher.
Europe is the global leader in offshore wind. This position must be maintained in a context where global players such as the USA, China, Korea and Japan have increased their support to boost their offshore industry.
However, knowledge about potential impacts of wind energy turbines on the environment and health need to be improved, given the widespread use of the technology.
Another important challenge will be to increase the circularity of wind energy technology, taking into account the end of life of turbines and the materials dependency.
Fuel Savings of 40%+ have been recorded with the On board Hydroxy Generator! Hydrogen, as an energy source, is anticipated to become the foundation for a world-wide sustainable energy system. On-demand Hydrogen is safe to use, 100% environmentally friendly. It has many potential energy uses. The US DOT says hydrogen addition increases gas mileage using lean burn conditions, while also mitigating pollution emissions without the use of a catalytic converter. NASA says hydrogen addition in- creases flame velocity, which provides more useful pressure prior to the critical crank angle.
Hydrogen can now be combined with gasoline, diesel, propane, or natural gas, and produce astonishing results. Because of the hydrogen supplement, the regular fossil fuel mixture burns more completely, thus reducing hydrocarbon emissions, while significantly increasing horsepower and improving fuel efficiency.
The hydroxy (Hydrogen/Oxygen or Hydroxy Gas or electrolysis gas) produced acts like a catalysis to your fuel. Get higher octane combustion. Utilizing oxy-hydrogen gas to boost a fossil fuel with a complete burn of all the hydrocarbons, produces a way cleaner emission. Advanced fuel cell systems were already developed and manufactured to automatically generate, store and provide energy when and where it is needed and to provide both back-up power and power grid/renewables extension and optimization.
Electric Power System introduced the 'ElectroSelf', an enabling technology for distributed energy that self-generates its own fuel. The intelligent closed-loop system stores energy from the grid or when renewables are plentiful, and instantaneously releases energy when there is a power dip or outage.
The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) is a unique public private partnership supporting research, technological development and demonstration (RTD) activities in fuel cell and hydrogen energy technologies in Europe. Its aim is to accelerate the market introduction of these technologies, realising their potential as an instrument in achieving a carbon-clean energy system.
Fuel cells, as an efficient conversion technology, and hydrogen, as a clean energy carrier, have a great potential to help fight carbon dioxide emissions, to reduce dependence on hydrocarbons and to contribute to economic growth and therefore contribute to addressing energy challenges facing Europe. They will allow renewable energy technology to be applied to transport, facilitate distributed power generation, and help Europe cope with the intermittent character of renewables such as wind power.
In 2000 five national hydrogen organisations established the European Hydrogen Association (EHA) and started a close collaboration to promote the use of hydrogen as an energy vector in Europe.
In 2004 major European industries active in the development of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies joined the EHA and enforced this effort to create a commercial market for stationary and transport applications and a role as market leader for the European hydrogen and fuel cell sector.
The unique membership structure has enabled the EHA to have up-close insight in local developments and to communicate important issues regarding industrial and regulatory needs to key decision makers at EU level. Since 2008 the EHA is hosting the European Regions and Municipalities Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells.
CHIC, the Clean Hydrogen In European Cities Project, is the essential next step leading to the full market commercialization of Fuel Cell Hydrogen powered (FCH) buses.
Under the motto ''Let hydrogen move you in urban transport and in building smart energy networks', the EU sustainable energy week pushed further to create a commercial hydrogen market for stationary and transport use.
Throughout Europe, from Oslo, Milan, Copenhagen, London, Antwerp and Aarau demonstrations took place.
Methanol is the simplest alcohol. With acoholische fermentation of mixtures containing pentavalent sugars methanol can arise as a byproduct. In addition to raw material in the chemical industry, methanol can also be used as an energy source, alone or admixed in fuels. Methanol is one of the substances which could be used to store chemical energy, to transport and to use to produce hydrogen for hydrogen fuel cells. Methanol is easier and safer to store and transport than hydrogen. It would in both combustion engines and can be used directly in electrical fuel cells.
Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, primarily coal and petroleum (liquid petroleum or natural gas including shale gas), formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants and animals by exposure to heat and pressure in the Earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.
In common parlance, the term fossil fuel also includes hydrocarbon-containing natural resources that are not derived entirely from biological sources, such as tar sands. These latter sources are properly known as mineral fuels. Modern large-scale industrial development is based on fossil fuel use, which has largely supplanted water-driven mills, as well as the combustion of wood or peat for heat.
With global modernization in the 20th and 21st centuries, the growth in energy production from fossil fuels, especially gasoline derived from oil, is one of the causes of major regional and global conflicts and environmental issues.
A global movement toward the generation of renewable energy is therefore under way to help meet the increased global energy needs. The burning of fossil fuels by humans is the largest source of emissions of carbon dioxide, which is one of the greenhouse gases that enhances radiative forcing and contributes to global warming. The atmospheric concentration of CO2, a greenhouse gas, is increasing, raising concerns that solar heat will be trapped and the average surface temperature of the Earth will rise in response.
Nuclear fuel is any material that is consumed to derive nuclear energy. Technically speaking this definition includes all matter because any element will under the right conditions release nuclear energy, the only materials that are commonly referred to as nuclear fuels though are those that will produce energy without being placed under extreme duress.
The most common type of nuclear fuel used by humans is heavy fissile elements that can be made to undergo nuclear fission chain reactions in a nuclear fission reactor; nuclear fuel can refer to the material or to physical objects (for example fuel bundles composed of fuel rods) composed of the fuel material, perhaps mixed with structural, neutron moderating, or neutron reflecting materials. The most common fissile nuclear fuels are 235U and 239Pu, and the actions of mining, refining, purifying, using, and ultimately disposing of these elements together make up the nuclear fuel cycle, which is important for its relevance to nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons.
(Artifical) Fusion
Fuels that produce energy by the process of nuclear fusion are currently not utilized by man but are the main source of fuel for stars, the most powerful energy sources in nature. Fusion fuels tend to be light elements such as hydrogen which will combine easily.
In stars that undergo nuclear fusion, fuel consists of atomic nuclei that can release energy by the absorption of a proton or neutron. In most stars the fuel is provided by hydrogen, which can combine together to form helium through the proton-proton chain reaction or by the CNO cycle.
When the hydrogen fuel is exhausted, nuclear fusion can continue with progressively heavier elements, although the net energy released is lower because of the smaller difference in nuclear binding energy.
Once iron-56 or nickel-56 nuclei are produced, no further energy can be obtained by nuclear fusion as these have the highest nuclear binding energies.
MOLTEN CHLORIDE FAST REACTOR
At a molten salt reactor (MSR) molten, or liquid, salts serve as both the reactor's coolant and fuel. The MCFR design specifically requires molten chloride salt, which allows for fast spectrum operation. In the fast neutron spectrum, neutrons are not slowed down (e.g. by colliding with water or graphite) and move very quickly making the fission reaction more efficient.
In MCFR cores, nuclear fission occurs and heats the fuel salts directly. The MCFR then distributes heat from the molten fuel salt through a heat exchanger to an inert salt in a second loop. Heat from the non-nuclear secondary loop is then safely used for electricity generation, process heat or thermal storage.
ITER is an innovative aplication of sustainability energy and latin for "the way" is fusion power focussed on artifical fusion, is an innovative invention. It is a joint international research and development projects that aims to demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power. The partners in the projects the ITER Parties - are the European Union (represented by EURATOM), Japan, the People's Republic of China, India, the Republic of Korea, the Russion Federation and the USA. ITER will be constructed in Europe, at Cadarache in the South of France. Expectations for results in short term should not be pitched too high. It's a long term project. The device may be operational in 2040.
Use over time
The first use of fuel was the combustion of wood or sticks by Homo erectus near 2 million years ago. Throughout the majority of human history fuels derived from plants or animal fat were the only ones available for human use. Charcoal, a wood derivative, has been used since at least 6,000 BCE for smelting metals. It was only supplanted by coke, derived from coal, as the forests started to became depleted around the 18th century. Charcoal briquettes are now commonly used as a fuel for barbecue cooking.
Coal was first used as a fuel around 1000 BCE in China. With the development of the steam engine in 1769, coal came into more common use as a power source. Coal was later used to drive ships and locomotives. By the 19th century, gas extracted from coal was being used for street lighting in London. In the 20th century, the primary use of coal is for the generation of electricity, providing 40% of the world's electrical power supply in 2005. It can be used for energy generation by means of conversion technologies:
Burning: thermal analysis of material with sufficient oxygen by full burning
In a ferment: flows of waste are used to generate energy. Flows of leftoversof meat assimilating business, of agriculturals, from out foodstuffs industries, fertilizer, special cultivated harvest such as maizw and corn in an environment without oxygen. Bacterials swaps the organics during a few steps in biogaz in biogas
Gasify: thermic analyzing with a limited quantity oxygen through which gaz is caused.
Pyrolyse: thermic analyzing of thermic material without oxygen
bio-oil: collective noun. Much rapeseed and sunflower seeds, also used and purified deep fat.

Holmes Ready for Second Ryder Cup
Posted by Curtis Burch | Sep 29, 2016 | Golf | 0 |
From UK Athletics
Competition to begin Friday with team play
CHASKA, Minn. – Former Kentucky men's golf star J.B. Holmes is ready to get his second Ryder Cup weekend underway after finishing in the top five at the BMW Championship and in the top 30 at the Tour Championship to round out the PGA Tour Season.
"I'm ecstatic to be here," Holmes said during his Wednesday press conference. "(The 2008 Ryder Cup) was the best experience in golf that I've ever had. It was just unbelievable. It's great to be here again with the team. It's an unbelievable feeling. There's nothing like getting to play for your country. I'm very excited to be here."
Team USA led by Davis Love III will field a team comprised of captain's picks, Holmes, Rickie Fowler, Matt Kuchar and Ryan Moore. The rest of the team includes Dustin Johnson, Zach Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, Brandt Snedeker, Jordan Spieth and Jimmy Walker.
Hazeltine National Golf Club, known for its length, will present the field with a grueling challenge, as it has with other events in past years. Designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones, the course itself is par 72 and will play at 7,628 yards. Holmes currently leads the PGA Tour in driving distance with a 314.5 average off the tee. The elongated course's last championship was the 2009 PGA Championship, won by Y.E. Yang over Tiger Woods.
During competition, players have almost always had to battle harsh winds, but it doesn't appear that wind will be a strong factor for this season's battle. Chances of rain are unlikely through play this weekend as well, while temperatures are set to be in the high-50s to lower-60s.
Action will begin on Friday with the morning foursomes in an alternate shot format teeing off at 8:35 a.m., 8:50, 9:05, and 9:20 ET, while the afternoon fourball will follow, beginning at 1:30 p.m. ET.
Saturday will follow the same schedule. Sunday at the Ryder Cup will only consist of singles play with tee times beginning at 12:04 P.m. ET and stretching to 2:05 p.m. in 11-minute intervals.
The 37th Ryder Cup was played at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, in 2008 with Holmes playing a major part in the United States' victory. A crowd favorite thanks to his local ties, Holmes scored 2.5 points with a win and a tie during the fourball portion of the event, as well as a victory in the head-to-head final day matchup. He defeated Soren Hansen 2&1 by making two final birdies to set up Jim Furyk's clinching win.

Manchester City are lining up a huge £88million bid for Juventus star Douglas Costa.
Despite surging to the Premier League title with a record points haul, City are expected to be active during the summer window.
Douglas Costa in action for Juventus last season.
And, according to Italian outlet Sport Mediaset, talented winger Costa could be one of the first big names to arrive.
The Brazilian arrived at Juve 12 months ago on a season-long loan following two mixed years at Bayern Munich.
During his first season in Serie A, he managed 31 appearances but only 18 of them came from the start.
He did, however, contribute four goals and Juve shelled out £35million to make the switch permanent earlier this month.
But the 27-year-old could be set to leave almost straight away should City offer them the chance to pocket £88million for the sale.
Juve are hoping to complete a summer deal for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio and may be tempted to sell Costa in order to raise funds for the swoop.


Estimating the yield of a brassica crop is critical for allocating the correct break size and animal allowance.
Incorrect feed allocation is most commonly caused by an incorrect break size. Knowing the crop face length and crop yield is vital to set break size.
Brassicas require careful grazing management, particularly while they are being introduced to stock, Most animal health issues happen in the first few days of feeding.

Q: Common Table Expression - how to use result in PostGIS Function I want to use the result (foo) of a CTE as a function parameter (foo.geom) in a PostGIS funtion (ST_DWithin()).
WITH foo AS (
    SELECT geom FROM bar WHERE name = 'cat'
) SELECT name FROM whatever
    WHERE ST_DWithin(
            geom,
            foo.geom,
            10
    );

I get

Missing entry in FROM for table foo

And it highlights foo.geom.
Why is that? How would I use the result of
SELECT geom FROM bar WHERE name = 'cat'

in the query
SELECT name FROM whatever
    WHERE ST_DWithin(
            geom,
            POINT(lng lat),
            10
    );

?

A: You'll need to join foo in your main select statement's from clause in order for it's columns to be visible in the where clause.
It looks like you're expecting a single row in the foo CTE, so I expect you'd use a cross or lateral join.
WITH foo AS (
    SELECT geom FROM bar WHERE name = 'cat'
)
SELECT name
FROM whatever
     cross join foo
WHERE ST_DWithin(
            geom,
            foo.geom,
            10
    );

A: Your foo CTE was not referenced in the main query. My guess is you want to join with it.

WITH foo AS (
    SELECT geom FROM bar WHERE name = 'cat'
)
SELECT we.name
FROM whatever we
JOIN foo ON (ST_DWithin( we.geom, foo.geom, 10))
        ;

The Carter Chronicles…
September 28, 2015 Dominic Sceski	Leave a comment
It sounds like an exciting story, with normal, but realistic characters. Initially appearing to be something simple, you can almost tell, by it's simpleness, that something very intense is about to unfold. Although, Mark's writing could use some proofreading (e.g. punctuation mistakes and grammar issues), his story definitely seems like one worth checking out. Good luck, Mark!

He was supposed to finish early that Thursday but a late order had kept him rooted to his desk past 6pm. Having almost given up on the idea that he may still make it to 'The Shed' for 7, he prepared himself to make the call knowing that cancelling this late in the day would not go down at all well. He stepped outside into the icy cold air and checked his watch. It was 6.45.
"This is a wind up surely?" said the voice on the other end of the phone. "You are shitting me right? You're on in 15 minutes and you call me now to cancel".
"Listen Ray I've just finished work. I don't need this right now" he replied.
"You do though son that's half the problem. You do need it."

Volume 4 Overview
September 21, 2015 Dominic Sceski	4 Comments
That's right, everyone! IT'S HERE!!!!!
Presenting to you the overview of Volume 4, the awesome, climatic conclusion of the "Soror and Frater" Arc!
Copyright 2015 Clare Sceski
John, Faith, and Bernard have come farther than they ever thought possible. They've persevered through every struggle, every personal trial, and every foe that has come their way. Now the final battle has arrived. Allying with the people of Castrum Fortress, John and his friends must storm the city of Howaito Maki and defeat the three Evil captains…or every prisoner of the Evil will die.
Fantasy/Anime/Action/Emotional/Dark
We come to a halt, stopping right beneath the wall which rises high above us. Thunderous booms sound in the distance, and we can vaguely hear the clashing of weapons and the screams of pain. "So the fighting has already started," says one of the scouts with us.
"That's our diversion," states Ashida. "Let's make the most of it."
A long rope dangles from where we fastened it at the summit of the wall. It's our only way up and into the city. I raise my eyes to the top of the rope, and I feel my heart beat faster. I don't know why, but the top of this rope…it's like the threshold—the threshold of destiny. Once I climb this rope, I'll be in the city. I'll be on the final part of my journey. I'll be on the doorstep of rescuing my siblings.
My siblings…
This is the final endeavor. I feel like I've known everything that would happen up until now. I've never been surprised truly. There hasn't been as much mystery as I feel there is now. Nothing about the future is clear anymore. Nothing is black and white. Because, from here…
—I look at the sky, the clouds, the dullness and gloom that fills this region—
…everything is gray.
I cast a worried glance at Faith and Bernard, and I can't help but feel closer to them at this moment. "Listen," I say, "whatever happens, I want you both to know that you've been great; you've been my best friends. I know we've been through a lot, and a big part of that is my fault, but—"
"John," Bernard cuts me off, "it's okay. Stop acting like we're going to die when we get in there. We can do this." He smiles reassuringly at me, as does Faith. "Come on," Bernard says, stepping towards the rope, "let's go get your brother and sister."
Hope you guys are excited!!! I know I am.

The Two Part Finale
You can blame me for not speaking about this as much as I should. I'm usually the type of person that laughs at my own jokes, replays my own highlights in football, and acts out the greatest feats I've accomplished. That being said, I think my own books are awesome. What author wouldn't? Why else follow through with a book idea, if you don't think it's great?
Consequently, you can take my word for it: Volume 4 of The Golden Lands will be the best yet. I'm not sure why I haven't been blogging about it as much as I should be!
Pretty much, this how I'm viewing the "plot/story flow" of my series:
Things begin in Volume 1: Shadows in the Sunlight
Things get personal between the characters, and also between the characters and the readers in Volume 2: Wrath
Things get exciting in Volume 3: The Ghost of Hedekira
And finally, for Volume 4, things get epic, intense, and reach their pinnacle and ultimate fulfillment.
The title of Volume 4 may be undergoing some changes. Why? Well, Volume 4 is turning out to be much longer than expected, at least in comparison to all the other volumes. So far, I haven't published a volume of TGL that was longer than 90 pages. Volume 4 is already 125 pages long, and I haven't finished it yet (although I'm very close to). Because of Volume 4's length, I've decided to make it into two parts. Don't worry, it will still be one volume! I'm just going to divide the actual book into two parts.
Part one, as of now, will be called either "The White City", or "Howaito Maki" (the white city is called "Howaito Maki", so both optional titles are centered around the same idea).
Part two will be given the original name for Volume 4, "The Red Captain" (a reference to Nirak, the antagonist).
If you haven't already downloaded Volume 1 (which is a free ebook at Smashwords.com [click the image in the sidebar]), then I would highly encourage you to if you're interested in my series. The Golden Lands is a fantasy based story with characters that behave and think like characters from anime shows. Why characters that resemble anime characters? Because anime characters (if it's a good anime) have so much determination in whatever they're doing, and the way they portray realistic, human emotion is one of the most beautiful portrayals I've ever seen in any form of art.
I'll be releasing the overview of Volume 4 (containing the cover, description, and excerpt) very soon!

"Korragraphy": Choreography Mistakes in The Legend of Korra
NOTE: None of the images in this post are mine and this post only covers Seasons 1 and 2 of TLOK
So, what's in choreography that makes it so important? And what kind of choreography am I talking about?
No, not dance choreography!
I'm talking about the order and sequence of a fight-scene. That kind of choreography. And, while this just may be my opinion, I believe that The Legend of Korra makes a few mistakes in this area.
What we want in every movie, TV show, or book series:
I think we can basically agree that when it comes to a good story, the plot steadily grows more intense. The struggles of the characters get bigger and bigger. The excitement increases. What great story has the climax right at the beginning? Wouldn't the rest of the story be considered dull? What would readers or viewers have to look forward to, if all the excitement reaches its pinnacle too early, yet the story still goes on?
This is an immense blunder—or trap—that many great writers—whether it be of books, shows, or movies—fall into. Keeping your audience interested in your story, if you plan for your story to go on, is a big deal. Sometimes, we accidentally find ourselves making one arc of our story to be too epic, such that it overpowers the sense of intensity which should be present in another scene. We "de-climax" the true climax, or we falsely "pre-climax"—creating a climax before it should even happen.
That's not what we want as readers or viewers, and we shouldn't want to do that as writers. We know how it is. We want people to say "the story just gets better and better". That's only going to happen if everything is well-sequenced, and the power of every exciting moment within the story is checked so that the ultimate scene within the story is really the ultimate scene.
Keep the "max" in climax.
The choreography mistakes in The Legend of Korra
Just as a story isn't good without proper "event choreography", so too a fight-scene will lack the desired level of awesomeness if certain fight-scenes are more impressive than others…but not at the proper time, in accordance with the series.
Allow me to explain.
The choreography for the fight-scenes in The Legend of Korra, especially Season 2, are incredible. Yes, I said that. Don't get the wrong idea; I'm not saying the choreography is poor in The Legend of Korra. I'm saying that the choreography, in all its greatness, isn't sequenced in the right way throughout the series. The final battles in the seasons TLOK aren't always as climatic as some of the fight-scenes earlier in the seasons. What's the problem with that? Well, just as we discussed above, in which we discovered that the climax should truly be the climax, why should the ultimate battle be bereft of certain fight-moves or fight-scene-choreography, while other, less intense scenes be possessed of those glorious moments?
SEASON 1:
To a certain extent, there aren't very many long or drawn out battles in Season 1. Don't get me wrong; I like Season 1 of The Legend of Korra the best! It had a great sense of mystery and excitement, with cool villains and intriguing character developments. However, when it comes to fight-scenes, the longest, and in my opinion, the coolest battle in Season 1 is between Korra and Tarrlok, in Episode 8: "When Extremes Meet".
Korra vs. Tarrlock
Both Tarrlok and Korra are masters at bending. Korra is nimble, using the moves of a practiced gymnast (like back hand springs) and speed to evade Tarrlok's attacks. But at the same time, she's strong, using earthbending to level the playing field. It's only when Tarrlok reveals that he is a bloodbender that Korra is finally defeated.
Korra dodging an attack from Tarrlock
How awesome is this fight-scene? Pretty awesome.
There are other scenes of prominent choreography; for instance, all of the pro-bending matches in Season 1 possess cool, fancy footwork, spins, and bending tricks.
The start of a probending match
So what's the problem with Season 1? When Korra confronts Amon, the antagonist of the season, the fight-scene is…well, not so impressive.
Now, I understand my personal opinion is coming into play here. The end of Season 1, or the finale of any series for that matter, doesn't need to end in an epic battle. There doesn't need to be the "ultimate unleash of power", the coolest back-flip, or the fanciest moves. But Korra practically gets taken out, (e.g. loses her bending), and then manages to land a lucky blow on Amon to knock him out of the building and into the sea. And after Amon falls into the water…well, he gives up. Sure, his cover is blown. Yet, at the same time, he's also a super powerful waterbender.
Korra defeating Amon, luckily understanding how to airbend at that very moment
Did there need to be a long, drawn-out fight? No. But it wasn't as exciting as I had hoped for, and in my opinion, it wasn't as climatic or cool as skirmishes in previous episodes. Why not save the best for last? Why not change Korra's fight with Tarrlok to her fight with Amon?

Korra faces off against a group of kidnappers
The battles in Season 2 start out both creative and remarkable. In episode 4 of Season 2, "Civil Wars, Part 1", Korra unveils a series of extremely agile moves against a team of kidnappers. The fight-scene lasts for only one minute, approximately. Throughout the course of this battle, however, Korra performs an intricate (and maybe unnecessary) corkscrew/flip after sliding down the railing of some stairs, two somersaults, two handsprings, and two airborne 360s. All of her moves are very cool and impressive, and evidently stylized with care.
What issue did I take with this season? Everything is so lax. There's no slow motion to show that these are impressive moves, there no build-up with the music. Korra is kick-butt and there's no reason to give it extra hype…or is there?
Korra faces off against Unalaq, the Dark Avatar
When it comes to Korra's brawl with Unalaq, the "Dark Avatar", everything is intense. The fighting is impressive. But once again, we've been seeing these same moves throughout the series. And there's nothing that makes these moves appear epic, since the creators make them appear to be nothing out of the ordinary for Korra. Let's not forget the flips, somersaults, and fast-paced hand-to-hand combat of Mako, Bolin, and Asami. It's not just Korra with the battle-swag.
Season 2 did a better job with making the end of the season the climax. Korra becomes "de-Avatarized" by Unalaq, when Raava—the spirit of light that makes her the Avatar—is killed (yes, someone dies in Avatar!). It's a riveting, shocking moment. All hope seems to be lost. But then what happens?
Completely out of nowhere, with hardly any description as to why this happens, Korra is able to unlock a certain power she possesses within herself, and she transforms into a spiritual entity in the form of a blue giant. Shooting blasts of…spiritual energy, I suppose, she defeats Unalaq using her own strength. This could've been something really epic, but, granted that there were almost no explanations for why Korra was able to transform, instead it was just confusing, taking away glory and awesomeness that the moment in the series deserved.
Korra as a manifestation of her own power
Once again, I am not saying in any way that The Legend of Korra, either Season 1 or Season 2, is a bad show. Both seasons are very well done, with impressive animation, visual effects, and action scenes. However, at least for me, I felt like the timing and "choreography" of events and fight scenes could've been done a little better. Perhaps this is something absolutely weird for someone to analyze, but…well, I just did.
I'd love to hear your thoughts! Let me know what you think about fight scene choreography and TLOK!

Bleach: The Hollowfication Question
September 9, 2015 Dominic Sceski	16 Comments
Sometimes we see this when the main character of a story is fighting against an enemy of seemingly unsurpassable might; with no other power to turn to, the main character resorts to teaming up with evil in order to defeat evil. And maybe, maybe, he'll even draw his strength from this person or source of evil.
BACKGROUND OF BLEACH
(If you already know all of this, I would encourage you to skip to the section in bold which reads "The Question")
Ichigo Kurosaki is such a main character. The manga and anime Bleach is easily one of the most popular Japanese comics and television shows out there, particularly in the shonen (boys) category. The story follows the adventures of fifteen year-old Ichigo Kurosaki, who becomes a Soul Reaper in order to protect his family from the hunger of a Hollow: a fallen soul/spirit of the underworld.
Ichigo as a Soul Reaper battles a Hollow
Ichigo is plunged into a life of protecting innocent souls from Hollows, as instructed by Rukia Kuchiki, the Soul Reaper that gave him his powers as a Soul Reaper. Soul Reapers have the duty of saving souls from Hollows, sending those souls to the Soul Society, and purifying the Hollows so that they too may be admitted to the Soul Society.
THE ZANPAKUTO
Every sword that a Soul Reaper has—called a "zanpakuto"—possesses a spirit in itself. This spirit, in both its form and personality/countenance, is a reflection of the Soul Reaper that wields the zanpakuto. There is also an element of mystery encompassing the nature of the spirit which is within every zanpakuto.
The spirit of Ichigo's zanpakuto, Zangetsu
These spirits have minds of their own; and although they cooperate with their Soul Reaper in order to further the advancement of power their Soul Reaper is able to unleash, sometimes the spirits might endeavor to control their Soul Reaper.
Once a person becomes a Soul Reaper and possesses a zanpakuto, his soul becomes intertwined or merged with the spirit that fills his sword. The Soul Reaper draws strength from his zanpakuto, and the spirit of the zanpakuto teaches the Soul Reaper how to wield and unlock the power that the spirit possesses. This bond between Soul Reaper and zanpakuto is intense.
Which is why, if a Soul Reaper isn't careful, the spirit of his zanpakuto might turn on him.
THE HOLLOW WITHIN
Ichigo's inner Hollow is exactly like Ichigo but all the light and darkness of his appearance is reversed
Ichigo's zanpakuto, and the spirit accompanying it, is named Zangetsu. Originally unknown to Ichigo, there is another side to Zangetsu—a darker side. Zangetsu is one with a Hollow; they are the same person, but one side is good while the other is evil.
The evil side of Zangetsu was said to have been "born" when Kiskue Urahara—Ichigo's hippy-of-a-mentor—forced Ichigo into regaining his Soul Reaper powers by using a method called "Encroachment". Encroachment caused Ichigo to run the line between turning into a Hollow himself, or becoming a Soul Reaper (since he had lost his power as a Soul Reaper). The result on the surface appeared to be that he became a Soul Reaper again—clean, plain and simple. However, underlying his transformation was the merging of Zangetsu with Ichigo's inner Hollow, who was brought about by Encroachment—as a side effect, so to speak.
Ichigo's Hollow mask begins to form as he undergoes Encroachment
Yet, it proved to be a much bigger "side effect" than Ichigo expected. When Ichigo battles Byakuya Kuchiki, captain of Squad Six of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, in order to save Rukia from being executed, Ichigo is suddenly possessed by his inner Hollow. The Hollow saves Ichigo's life, but states that Ichigo is too weak to be using Zangetsu/himself. At the time, Ichigo is unaware that the Hollow and Zangetsu are the same person.
Ichigo is possessed by his Hollow as he fights Captain Kuchiki
Ichigo regains control of himself. But ever since his battle with Captain Kuchiki and his possession by his inner Hollow, Ichigo is now always subconsciously aware of the Hollow within himself. And the Hollow wants to come out—to control and possess Ichigo. The struggle to maintain control of his own body and soul steadily grows more intense for Ichigo.
At the same time, Ichigo's enemies become greater too. After Ichigo saves Rukia from being executed in the Soul Society, Captain Aizen of Squad Five rebels against the Soul Society. Aizen is incredibly powerful, and he plans to completely wipe out Ichigo's hometown and kill the king of the Soul Society. Aizen is also surrounded by an army of Arrancars—Hollows with the abilities of Soul Reapers—and the Espada, who are high-ranking, super strong Arrancars. These Arrancars, along with Aizen himself, present a huge threat to Ichigo, his friends, and both the members of the Real World and the Soul Society.
Aizen in all of his evil glory
Ichigo knows he isn't powerful enough to defend everyone he cares about. What's more, whenever he fights and uses more of his own spiritual power, the chances of him being possessed by his inner Hollow skyrocket. His resolve being torn down by the emergence of his inner Hollow, and the threat of exceedingly strong enemies, leaves Ichigo confused and unsure of how he can protect his friends.
THE VISOREDS
Shinji and the rest of the Visored crew
Shinji Hirako, along with his team of rogue Soul Reapers, invite Ichigo to become a Visored; a Soul Reaper that learns to subdue, control, and use the power of his inner Hollow. They are called Visoreds for the Hollow masks they wear, which are the center of their power. If Ichigo learns how to control his inner Hollow and use its power, he'll gain an immense amount of spiritual strength. Without the knowledge of how to maintain his inner Hollow, and facing the danger of Aizen and his Arrancars, Ichigo turns to the Visoreds for assistance.
In the end, Ichigo goes within himself and battles his Hollow, defeating the dark form of Zangetsu and therefore being able to harness his energy. The Visoreds continue with his training, and Ichigo gradually learns to control and use his inner Hollow. The more he battles, the more power he possesses, and the more he relies on using "Hollowfication" as the source of his might.
Is it right for Ichigo to resort to using the power of his inner Hollow for the sake of fighting Aizen and saving his friends? Zangetsu, or the dark side of Zangetsu, is clearly something evil by nature. His appearance, his motives, his methods—everything about Ichigo's inner Hollow possesses some sense of malice and morbidity. Ichigo fights his Hollow and conquers it. Nonetheless, the Hollow doesn't go away; instead, he allows Ichigo to draw power from him. This power is clearly something dark; Ichigo joins with the evil-side of his soul in order to produce intense spiritual attacks.
So, what's wrong with this picture?
In order to answer the question of whether it is right to use evil to fight evil, we need to look at the situation from a logical perspective. All of this can be simplified by this basic moral truth:
The end doesn't justify the means.
This logical statement works could be explained with this example: Say a man wants to become rich. Becoming rich is the "end". Let's say further that the man's "means" of achieving his "end"—becoming rich—is robbing a bank.
The example with the man is similar to Ichigo's: both ends are good. Ichigo wants to protect his friends and save the world; the man wants to become rich. Nothing is wrong there. But if we say that "the end justifies the means", then, according to that statement, any means found necessary is "okay". Why? Because the end, in-and-of-itself, is something good. However, we can see that this is flawed from a moral perspective. Just because the end is good, that doesn't mean it's right to reach the end using immoral means. That's a problem. We could win all wars by torturing the enemy's citizens until the enemy surrenders—winning a war: good; torturing people to do it: bad. (#lameexample…I know)
So here's where the truth comes in: The means justifies the end.
This is a logical/moral principle that encourages people to build good upon good. A good means should bring about a good end. Let's go back to the man that wants to be rich, but make the example different; now his means is getting a job and working hard, and watching his everyday budget: good. The end? He becomes rich: good. That's the way it's supposed to work. Not everybody will become rich, of course, if they work hard and watch their budget. But you get the idea.
But then, what's wrong with Ichigo? What's wrong with his means?
The main thing wrong with the story, in that Ichigo obtains his source of strength from his inner Hollow, is that the line between what's good and what's evil becomes blurred. Ichigo takes on the form of something evil, bringing down his own good character, for the sake of something good. This can lead some people into confusion: is that what heroes do? They join themselves with evil to do good? Do heroes turn into monsters or evil spirits for the sake of what's right?
And ah: monsters and evil spirits don't do what's right.
"No, but Ichigo does."
In a sense, Ichigo does do something good. After all, his end is pure. But his means is not. Evil doesn't produce good. We can become stronger through dealing with a form of evil that surrounds or threatens us. But evil is never the producer of good.
This might sound like a story from the Bible, to some viewers. Joseph, the son of Jacob, (the one with the swagged-out, colored-cloak) is sold by his brothers into slavery to the Egyptians: bad. However, he rises through the ranks of Egypt to become second-in-command and help his family in a time of famine: good. The "bad" stuff—being sold into slavery—didn't produce the good—Joseph becoming second-in-command and helping his family. In the story, God gave Joseph a way to react to the evil, so to speak; a loophole. But the evil didn't create the good.
Nevertheless, Ichigo clearly endeavors to do the opposite. He draws upon the power of evil and assumes an evil form itself. A flaw, or falsity, therefore, corrupts the nature of the story of Bleach. Bleach, whether or not the author Tite Kubo intended this, preaches that we can reach into ourselves and pull out our "inner Hollow" and use it for good.
If we think about it, we can see how this negatively morphs society's perception of heroism. If Ichigo is equated with being a hero—the one who "defeats the bad guy"—and at the same time is merged with a form of evil, isn't there a chance those people that look up to Ichigo will think it is right to merge with evil to produce good? To the people of the anime world, Bleach is saying, in however an indirect way, that the face of a hero…well, may indeed look like this:
Ichigo in his "Hollowfied" form
The face of something good is portrayed using the face of evil…doesn't this seem twisted in any way? Doesn't that bother you, or seem wrong?
Ichigo's means? Using evil.
Ichigo's end? Saving his friends and the world.
Logical? No.
Moral? No.
The means justifies the end, not the other way round.

June 22, 1969: Len Boehmer's first hit wins it for Yanks
New York Yankees 5
10 innings
Box Score + PBP:
If you can help us improve this game story, contact us.
This article was written by Mark Armour
Len Boehmer spent most of this Sunday afternoon in the New York Yankees' bullpen, just hoping for the opportunity to play. The 27-year-old infielder had spent nearly eight years in the minor leagues, save for three at-bats for the 1967 Reds, before surprisingly making the Yankees in the spring of 1969. For the season's first ten weeks, he had played parts of 16 more games, and was still looking (after 29 at-bats) for his first major-league hit.
The day's two combatants, the Yankees and the host Red Sox, were playing the rubber match of a three-game series, having split a long day-night doubleheader on Saturday after a rainout on Friday night. Friday's game actually started briefly, with the Yankees building a 4-0 lead in the top of the first on first baseman Joe Pepitone's grand slam. When the game was called (by crew chief Hank Soar) it did not sit well with the Yankees. "Terrific. I remember a game last year when he made us play in rain," complained Pepitone. "We lost that stinking game. And it was raining worse than this."[1]
The Red Sox (39-25) had started the season hot, but had lost 7 of 11 and, though in second place, had already fallen 8½ games behind the seemingly unstoppable Baltimore Orioles (49-18). The rebuilding Yankees (33-36) were 17 games behind and still trying to find their way back to the top.
The starting pitchers in the contest were both rookies: Boston's Ray Jarvis (3-3), a recent addition to the depleted Red Sox rotation; and New York's Bill Burbach (4-4), the fourth member of a solid Yankee starting group. The Yankees broke through early with run-scoring hits by left fielder Roy White in the first and second baseman Horace Clarke in the second, before Red Sox catcher Russ Gibson's second-inning single made the score 2-1. In the meantime, Jarvis settled down, pitching six scoreless innings after the early runs. "[Pitching coach] Darrell Johnson went out there in the second inning," said catcher Gibson, "and told him not to be cute with the Yankees because they are a bunch of slop hitters."[2]
The Red Sox took the lead in the fourth, on back-to-back home runs by Rico Petrocelli (his 22nd) and Tony Conigliaro (his 11th). For Petrocelli, the home run was the continuation of his amazing season — his 22 home runs trailed only Reggie Jackson in the AL, while his .325 batting average was third behind Rod Carew and Frank Robinson. For Conigliaro, it was part of his miraculous comeback, having returned in April after missing all of the 1968 season following a horrific beaning in August 1967.
A key moment in this game occurred in the top of the eighth inning, while the Yankees were again going out meekly against Jarvis. With two out and Pepitone batting, Yankee third-base coach Elston Howard fielded a foul ball, thought it had a smudge on it and asked home-plate umpire Art Frantz to replace it. Frantz disagreed, and returned the ball to Jarvis. After Pepitone grounded out to end the inning, manager Ralph Houk came out to yell at Frantz, and was soon ejected. When second-base umpire Soar came in to try to break up the ensuing wild argument, Pepitone cut him off and began his own screaming — he had not forgiven Soar for costing him a grand slam on Friday night (and, presumably, for his 15 hitless at-bats in the series). Pepitone, too, was tossed out of the game. Taking his place at first base was Len Boehmer, he of the 0-for-26 season and 0-for-29 career.
So the Red Sox entered the ninth with a 3-2 lead, and Jarvis was three outs away from his first career complete-game victory. He did not get it. After a leadoff single to Roy White, a one-out single by shortstop Gene Michael put runners at the corners. Red Sox manager Dick Williams brought in left-hander Bill Landis to face Jake Gibbs, but the Yankees countered with pinch-hitter Bobby Cox, who hit a soft fly ball to left fielder Carl Yastrzemski. White beat Yaz's throw home, and the game was tied. The Red Sox got two runners on in the ninth against Yankee reliever Jack Aker, but did not score.
In the tenth the Red Sox brought in Gary Roggenburk, who had pitched just six times so far in the season and not particularly well (7.27 ERA). He quickly walked Clarke, who was sacrificed to second by Jerry Kenney. When Bobby Murcer struck out, it brought up Boehmer, batting for the first time after entering in the eighth. Boehmer promptly hit a sharp single on the ground between third baseman George Scott and Rico Petrocelli. Yastrzemski raced in and came up firing, but catcher Tom Satriano could not handle the short hop and Clarke slid in safely. Boehmer hustled to second on the throw home, and quickly scored on Roy White's single to left. When the Red Sox went down quickly against Steve Hamilton in the tenth, the Yankees had prevailed, 5-3.
When Boehmer entered the clubhouse after the game, his teammates cheered. "I've been waiting three years for this," he said. "Right now I'm the happiest man in the world. I feel like I got about a 100-pound weight off my back." Soar wanted to take some credit for his ejection of Pepitone. "Tell them," he said of the Yankees, "that I won the game for them."[3] Pepitone, in a similar vein, wanted his own thanks. "I got kicked out just so you could win the game," he told his replacement.[4]
"I knew it was a hit as soon as I hit it," said the day's hero. "I think it a slider. … I think it was a bad pitch."
Why had he swung at a bad pitch?
"That," he admitted, "is why I was 0-26."[5]
This was the first game I ever attended. I was 8 years old and sitting with my father and brother in the grandstand above first base. I was an enormous fan by this point—I knew all the Red Sox players, and most of the opposition because of my extensive baseball-card collection. Had I heard of Len Boehmer when he entered the game in the bottom of the eighth inning? I might have—his one and only Topps baseball card came out that year, so if I had it by June I would have known about him.
I do not recall the feeling of walking into the park for the first time, though I am sure it was an enormous thrill. I had the good fortune of going with a father who liked to get to the game early, to see batting practice if possible, and to stay, always, until the final pitch. For my first game, that meant extra innings. I am sure the Red Sox loss was disappointing, but I had high hopes that there would be other games for me in the years ahead

A new affordable housing development project managed by Iceni Homes on Main Road in Harwich has finally been given the go ahead. The current building has long been considered an eyesore and formally housed the Bernard's Uniform Factory.
Planning permission was finally granted in November 2015 by Tendering District Council for the demolition of the redundant factory paving the way for the building of 27 new properties. The mix includes 1 and 2 bedroom flats and 2 and 3 bedroom houses.
Rose Builders have been awarded the building contract and demolition will start mid-January 2016 with the building work following on. Completion is anticipated in autumn 2017. The properties will be available for affordable rent and allocated via Tendering District Council.
The total cost of the project is 4.3m with funding from Colne Housing and £748,000 of grant from the HCA.
Iceni Homes/Colne Housing held an information day for local residents last year. Since the factory closed in 2007, the site has been vandalised and become an eyesore.
Colne's chief executive Sara Thakkar said: "We are pleased to be able to provide 27 modern new-build homes for affordable rent to help ease the housing crisis in the area.
Colne has said priority will be given to residents who have lived in Tendring for the past three years.
