Making Dreams Come True: An Interview with Argia Beristain
December 10, 2015 buber	Leave a comment
I've known Argia Beristain for about 20 years now, having first met her during our joint activities in the Seattle Euskal Etxea. She has since moved back and forth between the two coasts of the United States and has been extremely active in promoting Basque culture, culminating in the Basque Soccer Friendly that was held in Boise, Idaho this past summer.
In this interview, I ask Argia about the planning and organization of the Basque Soccer Friendly, her experiences being part of four very different Basque communities in the United States, and her favorite places in the Basque Country.
Buber's Basque Page: Last summer (July 18), you saw the culmination of a lot of your blood, sweat and tears over the last year or so in the Basque Soccer Friendly, which brought both Athletic Bilbao and Club Tijuana to Boise to play an exhibition soccer match. What was this experience like? What was the most gratifying part of organizing this amazing event? What challenges surprised you the most?
Argia Beristain: The experience of planning, organizing and executing the Basque Soccer Friendly was an exhausting emotional roller coaster. There were so many times along the way that new obstacles were placed in front of us and many thought "oh there's no way they can overcome this" and we refused to give up and somehow overcame each and every one of them. You can call it tenacity or stubbornness I guess but it was a passion of mine to make sure that I personally tried everything I could to make it a reality. We had worked so hard, I knew I would never forgive myself for turning back and not doing absolutely everything I could think of to keep the project moving forward.
The most gratifying part of organizing this amazing event has to be seeing how so many people's dreams came true, not only my own or my Aita's which was personally motivating all along the way. The overall feeling/vibe on the Basque Block and at the game was pure happiness — it's so great to know I helped bring that happiness to the community. To point to one specific moment though, it would have to be when I saw an interview my husband, Keegan, did with the local newspaper that was recorded and posted online after Athletic Club's arrival in Boise. I could not have done any of the work on this without his endless support, he held me up and gave me encouragement every single step of the way. But at that moment, seeing his own personal excitement and satisfaction that all of our hard work had paid off and that our team was actually arriving in Boise, Idaho thousands of miles away from the Basque Country was beyond gratifying.
Of all the challenges that surprised me throughout the process, the most staggering element is just how expensive putting on an event like this really is. Even with Athletic Club waiving their appearance fee, the cost of Tijuana's appearance fee, flying both teams to Boise, hotels, food, transportation, on top of all of the expenses associated with use of Albertsons Stadium, signage and the major budget needed for the installation of the sod, it all adds up very quickly. That doesn't even include marketing or merchandise which we had committees of amazing volunteers dedicating hundreds of hours to in-kind. We all knew it was going be expensive and, quite honestly, our budget projections from a year ago are not that far off, but when you step back and look at everything including all of the "in-kind" our sponsors gave us to support the game, it's truly staggering how much money is needed to pull this thing off.
Buber's Basque Page: What was the history of this project? When did it first get discussed? Who else had been involved in bringing this event from the concept stage to final fruition?
Argia Beristain: This history of this project starts at Jaialdi 2010 with Mayor Dave Bieter, John Bieter, and representatives from the Province of Bizkaia enjoying a nice dinner and a good amount of wine while dreaming up ways to make Jaialdi "even bigger next time". Their conversation started focusing in on sports and ultimately it was suggested that a team from the Basque Country should come and play a game in Boise. Then a couple years later, John Bieter pulled together some people on the Boise State campus to see if they agreed it was a good idea in April 2013. That June, I moved to Boise and even before my furniture arrived, I received a call from Dave Lachiondo, Associate Director for Basque Studies at Boise State, asking me if I wanted to be involved since my background was in non-profit fundraising and we'd inevitably need to raise quite a bit of money to make this possible. From that point we formed a small committee and people joined and left the committee at various stages based upon our needs for the next year or so.
Eventually, at the core there was John Bieter (Basque Studies), Bill Taylor (Idaho Youth Soccer Association) and myself as Directors to lead the way. I worked hand-in-hand with Bill Taylor on all things soccer related (teams, FIFA Agents, equipment, field, etc.) then for all things sponsor and donor related, John and I worked together. We were quite the team. All along John was there to ride the up and downs of this event with me every step of the way. It helped that we could also go and meet with Mayor Dave Bieter when we needed some additional help opening doors along the way.
Along the way we found an amazing designer, Paul Carew, and other marketing professionals like Jason Hamilton who helped steer us in right direction. By January 2015, we formed a volunteer marketing committee that met weekly with Paul (all things brand related, logos, signage, merchandise, etc.), Jason Hamilton (managed our tv commercials and relationship with hispanic tv and our media partner, KTVB), Drew Lorona (social media and email campaigns), Ana Overgaard (production of videos as needed), Keegan Dougherty (website, live stream, online store and retail space manager) and myself. It was a fun but small group of amazing individuals who all wanted to see the game happen and be the best event it could be. I joked at one point that I was going to stop coming to marketing meetings because I always left there with a lot more work to do. But all kidding aside, they were awesome and the event's success can be attributed directly to them. When you step back and think about how volunteers pulled off this major event, it's inspiring.
Another major person behind the scenes for the Basque Soccer Friendly was Fred Mack of Holland & Hart, our legal team. An event like this requires very detailed team, vendor and sponsor contracts, as well as an elaborate agreement with Boise State University. Fred joined our team "pro bono" in March 2015 and suddenly everything started moving much more smoothly.
Add to that our Volunteer Director Daniel Brunham and the numerous amazing volunteers that he coordinated to support our events leading up to the game, retail store and install/removal of the field and it's clear to see it took quite a team.
On the Basque Studies side, we also could not have done it without John Ysursa. He was there to support John Bieter, Keegan and I with anything we needed help with from painting the retail location walls, filling shifts as "Johnny Retail", installing/removing the sod, storing our merchandise, you name it. Whenever we needed anything, we always knew we could count on Y.
All in all, it was a small group of individuals committed to making this game a success. Some of us have been on the team for 2 years, most 6-9 months but at the end of the day, we all gave endless hours that in my opinion paid off by a successful event.
Buber's Basque Page: Originally, the Basque Soccer Friendly was going to be during the same week as Jaialdi, but it got moved due to Athletic Bilbao's making it to the Europa League competition. I heard more than one person say that, in the end, this was a good thing as dealing with the sod during Jaialdi would have been a nightmare. How did you feel about the change in time?
Argia Beristain: Moving the date of the game was the last thing we wanted to do but, in the end, we know everything happens for a reason and for this first time event we can honestly say we think it worked out best this way. There are countless stories of friends, family and soccer fans from throughout the United States, Mexico and the Basque Country who had plans to come to the game on the 29th during the week of Jaialdi who were not able to go with the date change to the 18th. We can't help but think that we would have had a lot more than 22,000 in the Stadium if it had been during Jaialdi; however, from the logistics and event experience for Athletic Club Bilbao's side of things, it was definitely better off on the 18th.
For example, logistically no one in Boise had ever been through the process of installing the sod over turf and we relied heavily upon our volunteers to help with the plastic event decking and tarp installation and removal portions of that process. That equaled a lot of hours of hard work and it was hard enough to find enough dedicated volunteers who were willing to pitch in. If it had been during Jaialdi when many of the local Basque community is already busy putting on the various Jaialdi events, it would have been even more difficult to accomplish this major volunteer effort that took multiple days of physical labor. Another logistical issue beyond the already full hotels throughout Boise during Jaialdi is the busses that were needed for the teams. With the demand for busses that Jaialdi puts on the local community with shuttles from hotels, performer shuttles, etc., I don't think there are physically enough busses in the greater Treasure Valley area to meet the needs of Jaialdi and the soccer teams at the same time.
Then, as for Athletic Club's experience and our community's access to the team, I don't think they would have been able to have the freedom to visit the Basque Block, the Basque Museum and the Basque Center, Basque Soccer Friendly store and have autograph signings as they were able to if it had been during Jaialdi. With the game on the 18th, they were able to spend the entire afternoon on the 17th playing Pala in the Fronton, checking out the museum and boarding house, enjoying a meal at the Basque Center, playing FIFA at the Basque Soccer Friendly store and visiting the Ikastola. The team gave the Boise community unprecedented access by making all players available for autographs so we split them into groups at the Basque Center, the Basque Soccer Friendly store and the Ikastola. Each location had lines around the block with Basques and non-Basques alike eager to meet them and get their autographs. They were so gracious and stayed until they signed for everyone which gave them a real opportunity to meet the Basque diaspora and greater Boise community which resulted in so many dreams made true. Now, if it had been during Jaialdi, they would have seen even larger crowds on the Block and a lot more in the Stadium I'm sure, however they would have been mobbed and we would not have been able to have the autograph signings and they would not have had the freedom to explore the Basque Block or visit with distant family like they did.
Buber's Basque Page: You've now been part of Basque communities in Seattle, Washington DC, and Boise, and grew up in the Las Vegas Basque community. What do you see as the big differences in these different clubs/communities and the commonalities?
Argia Beristain: Wow, that's a good question. My experiences working in support of the Basque Communities in Las Vegas, Seattle, Washington, DC and now Boise have all been very different and are dependent upon the demographics of the communities, yet it always comes down to a few dedicated volunteers who are willing to give so much of themselves to keep the clubs or projects going.
In Las Vegas, our biggest challenge is that the original Basque immigrants who started the Lagun Onak Las Vegas Basque Club are getting older and unable to sustain the club forever. The heart of the club at the beginning and today are the pelotaris or Jai Alai players who used to play professionally on the Las Vegas Strip until 1980 when the casinos closed the frontons. At that time many of the players stayed to become card dealers for the casinos and what was originally a group of Jai Alai friends became an organized Basque Club in 1980. This however was the last major immigration of Basques to the Las Vegas valley and many of the children of these pelotaris and dedicated Basques are either not interested in maintaining or preserving their Basque Culture or they have moved away. As a result, as the founders of the Basque Club enter their 70s it's difficult for them that all of the activities of the club and organization of the events fall solely upon their shoulders.
In Seattle, as you know, there isn't quite that distinct time that you can point to when most of the Basque immigrants came to the area. Instead, the major hurdle that I see for the Seattle Basque Community is just how vast the area is and how spread out all of the Basques are. In this continuously evolving cultural society there are many demands on us as individuals and families from social engagements to soccer practice, dance classes, etc. — it's helpful if the Basque component is convenient too, which isn't always possible for all of the Basques throughout Washington.
Now Washington, DC is completely different as the majority of our members are in their 30s and 40s yet were born in the Basque Country and are in DC working for maybe only a few years. A few of the Basque Americans who have grown up in Boise, Elko, Chicago, etc. have moved there too and are members of the club however the biggest hurdle is conveying the need or necessity to preserve or celebrate our Basque Culture to those who "being Basque" is compulsory because they grew up in the Basque Country and thats just how they lived. It's interesting to note that of the 5 current Board of Directors for the Washington, DC Euskal Etxea, 4 of us are Basque Americans and there is just 1 who was born in the Basque Country yet our membership base is heavily Basque Country born. Now, at different times we have had other Basque Country born Board members but as the club gets older and faces more challenges, it appears the Basque Americans who have grown up in other Basque Diaspora communities are the ones pushing the hardest to keep it going in DC.
Then there's Boise. I think the best thing going for the Boise Basque Community is it's numbers and the sheer volume of Basques that have immigrated to Idaho throughout the years. With there being so many generations of Basques and Basque Americans who have grown up celebrating Basque culture and having Basque culture celebrated by the greater Boise community it makes it, in my opinion, easier to perpetuate. It's cool to be Basque in Boise. At the end of the day, the work and responsibility still only falls on a few dedicated volunteers no matter where you live; however, with such a large population to pull from in Boise/Treasure Valley, you're more likely to find those people willing to help. Furthermore, the burden placed upon one person is less when there are more people willing to teach euskal dantza, euskera, mus, briska, movie night, etc. and one when one person gets tired, overwhelmed or needs to handle the soccer practice car pool instead, there is more of a chance to find someone else in the Basque community to pick up where they left off rather than the effort halting completely.
I wouldn't trade my experiences in any of the communities for anything and I think that what it means to me to be "Basque" and the type of volunteer that I am today is a result of all of the experiences I've had in these various Basque communities.
Buber's Basque Page: The next big event in Basque cultural space in the US looks to be the 2016 Folklife Festival, put on by the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. I understand you were involved in making this event happen. What can you tell us about the event?
Argia Beristain: Yes, I'm very excited about the Smithsonian Folklife Festival that will present Basque Culture on the National Mall in DC in June/July 2016. Mark Bieter and I have been meeting with the folks from the Smithsonian since 2006 to make this dream come true. With the help of the Basque Government's Aitor Sotes and more recently Ander Caballero and the recent addition of the representatives from the Province of Bizkaia, it's finally happening!
Every summer the Smithsonian presents a living museum featuring cultures from around the world and 2016 is the 50th Anniversary of the festival. The Washington, DC Euskal Etxea is helping connect the Smithsonian with local vendors and contacts to have authentic Basque food, cider, wine and more. Most of the performers will probably come from the Basque Country but it's expected that a number of them will be from the Basque American Diaspora as well. The Smithsonian team is working directly with NABO on that selection process as we speak. It's exciting stuff! I hope Basque Americans make an effort to get to DC this summer to see it, it's sure to be a once in a lifetime moment for our culture and language.
Buber's Basque Page: Now, a few questions about the Basque Country itself. What is your favorite spot in the Basque Country?
Argia Beristain: My favorite place in the Basque Country is Ondarru (Ondarroa). Specifically the port and beach area. I have fond memories of waking up early as little kid and sitting on my Amama's patio to watch the fishing boats come in during the early morning. As I got older, I've enjoyed sitting at Moby Dick enjoying a txikito with my kuadrilla along the beach. Ondarru is so beautiful and the people are uniquely Ondarrutarra. I love that.
Buber's Basque Page: What is your favorite Basque food?
Argia Beristain: My favorite Basque food would be comfort food my family makes. Like my Itxiko Miren's zapu (fish) or her soup. My aita's paella or when he makes tongue (only ever in a red sauce). Once while I was living in DC and pregnant and unable to travel to visit family, I asked my aita to ship me some of his paella (frozen of course) and his tortilla patata. I've never received a gift that made me feel so comforted and close to family even though I was 2,500 miles away from all of them in Las Vegas and 3,800 miles away from Ondarru.
Buber's Basque Page: What is your favorite Basque fiesta?
Argia Beristain: My favorite fiesta is Ondarruko Jaixak in August celebrating Andra Mari but a close second would be Madalenas in Elantxobe, Bermeo…..
Buber's Basque Page: Finally, is there anything else you would like to add?
Argia Beristain: As it's been a few months now since the game in July, I've had some time to reflect on just how amazing it is that it all came together and we actually brought Athletic Club Bilbao to Boise, Idaho! On top of that, we covered the iconic blue turf at Boise State University and introduced high level professional soccer/futbol to a traditionally American Football community. Lastly, even though we had to move the game away from Jaialdi and lost a lot of the Basque community's ability to attend, we still had 22,000 people fill the stadium. It's amazing to me when I stop and reflect on all of that. I'm proud of the fact that we pulled it off and it was a great success.
The Basque Soccer Friendly is truly a testament to remaining positive, not giving up and doing whatever it takes to reach a dream/goal. I hope to have more opportunities to pour myself into a project like this in the future.

Dr. Meena Singh Roy is a Research Fellow and heads the West Asia Centre at the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA). Her areas of specialisation are Central Asia and West Asia. Prior to joining IDSA, she was a senior research scholar in the Department of African Studies, Delhi University. She was associated with the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, School of Oriental and African Studies and London School of Economics for her research work. In 2014, she was a visiting Research Fellow with the German Institute of Global and Area Studies' (GIGA) Institute of Asian Studies.
Dr. Roy has published several peer-reviewed articles and papers focused on West Asia and Central Asia. She has also been involved in net assessment reports and strategic gaming on West Asia and Central Asia. She has published a monograph titled The Shanghai Cooperation Organization: India Seeking New Role in the Eurasian Regional Mechanism (2014), edited books titled International and Regional Security Dynamics: Indian and Iranian Perspectives (July 2009) and Emerging Trends in West Asia: Regional and Global Implications (2014), and completed the joint Delhi Policy Group-IDSA Task Force report on West Asia in Transition in 2015.
Research Fellow, IDSA, Dr Meena Singh Roy's article on West Asia, titled 'India and West Asia a Realistic Approach of Engagement' was published in the January 2018 issue of 'The Diplomatist'.
The article deals with the difficult choices before India, given the existing regional complexities and rising expectations from West Asia. It analyses how New Delhi has been able to manage closer relations with Israel, Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries, while maintaining its ties with Iran.
As India seeks to enhance economic engagement and deepen security cooperation with the Gulf, it finds a willing partner in the UAE.
There is a conscious effort on the part of India to re-energise the INSTC. However, sustaining the momentum achieved remains a major challenge before the member countries of the North-South connectivity project.
The book provides an in-depth assessment of socio-political, economic and strategic trends unfolding in West Asia. It also explores options for India to enhance existing relations with the West Asian region in a much more meaningful manner. The complexities of West Asia have been systematically explored by scholars, diplomats and specialists to advance the understanding of West Asia's political and strategic architecture.
The recent visit by the external affairs minister can be viewed as continuation of new diplomatic push to strengthen bilateral cooperation with Iran despite the difficulties of economic sanctions imposed by the US and EU. However, the real test for both the countries is to maintain and sustain the current momentum.

"We capture the fun while you're having it!"
Big Shot was amazing - super accommodating at the last minute, fun, reliable, and very professional. We loved the services and the awesome attitudes of Mike and his son. Thank you again!!!!
The addition of your photo booth at our Mardi Gras celebration at Acacia Village yesterday was a big hit. We loved the fact that you stayed right with your booth and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We especially appreciate how nice you both were to all of our Residents. Thank you Mike and Chris!
I literally cannot say enough good things about Mike and Big Shot Photo Booths! We hired Big Shot Photo Booths for our August wedding at the Genesee Grande. Everything was amazing. It was perfectly set up. Working with Mike prior was super easy and fun to make the top of the photo strip for our logo! And the fact that the photo strips go into the guest book where everyone signs was amazing! It was so fun to go through that after the wedding to see everyones fun photos! The props were great as well. Mike was so quick to get back to me with the photos online as they are web ready to order prints. He also sent me a CD of all the images as well which is great and came with pictures from the wedding printed right on the CD! Overall we had a GREAT experience and I would definitely recommend for future weddings or other parties or events! Thanks so much for everything Mike!
We recently hired Big Shot Photo Booths for a high school graduation party and it was a huge hit! A week later and I'm still getting messages from guests of all ages on how much fun they had in the photo booth. I also recommend adding the scrapbook option - my daughter now has a great souvenir from her party with personal messages from all of the guests that had photos taken. Mike Boutin was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish - professional, courteous and reliable. I highly recommend the services of Big Shot Photo Booth!
Big Shot Photo Booths was one of the highlights of our wedding reception. We contemplated renting a photo booth, but are SO GLAD we did because the guests went NUTS over it. Guests of all ages went in the booth and had the best time (they loved the prop table!) We got so many compliments from guests that the photo booth was such an amazing addition to the wedding. Also, Mike and Chris were phenomenal to work with- they were very helpful in creating a new backdrop to match the theme of my wedding and in creating a photo strip that coordinated. Guests raved that they were so helpful throughout the night. Also, I love that you get the entire disc of all the photo strips taken that night. Highly recommend the Photo Strip guest Book- it is such a great idea- it will be so wonderful to be able to look at that years from now! I will HIGHLY recommend you guys to everyone! Thanks for helping make my reception the best night ever!!
People had so much fun. VERY professional and courteous. The big "room" booth was great for groups and the pictures came out wonderful! Absolutely recommend without reservations.
Amazing amount of fun with Big Shot Photobooths at my daughter's Bat Mitzvah! Everyone had a blast. The staff was professional, kind and attired like all our guests. Very good value. Highly recommend them for any event!
I was looking for a photo booth for my son's out of town wedding. I was very blessed to find Mike and Big Shot Photo Booth. He is very professional and dependable. It was also very convenient to charge the deposit and balance over the phone. The wedding guests had a blast using the photo booth. The bride and groom were very happy with their photo guest book and said it is so much more fun than a guest sign in book! You can't go wrong with Mike and Big Shot Photo Booth!
What a wonderful addition to an adult birthday party. Thank you Big Shot for helping to make the party a success!
Very professional, patient, fun and all around awesome! worth every penny! it was truly fun for ALL ages! great fun for any event! already setting dates for future events!
Big Shot Photo Booth was very professional and helpful in assisting with our event at Sangertown Square Mall - they explained to participants to cover their eyes with one hand in the first shot to show that they have seen enough tobacco marketing in stores, and everyone had a lot of fun with the props for the rest of the shots.
The photo booth made my daughters Sweet 16 party the talk of the town.. Thank you for the great time, patience with the kids and all around excellent service.. Definitely recommend Big Shot for any event.. Thanks again!
Recently, I had contacted Big Shots Photo Booths to rent a photo booth for the Notre Dame NJROTC Military Ball. They were excellent! The photos came out great! Everyone loved the photo booth, it was a great hit! There was always a line to get a photo in the booth, and the props were awesome! Im sure everyone who attended the event will remember the ball mostly because of the photo booth! Im glad I rented it through Big Shot Photo Booths.
We hired Big Shot Photo Booths for our wedding. I had never been to a wedding with a photo booth, I had only heard they were fun. I can honestly say this was the hit of the evening! The adults and children were having fun with the photo booth and the props all night! Mike was wonderful to work with ahead of time, and very professional and friendly to all of our wedding guests the entire evening. The photo quality is top notch and we had all the photos available to view online to next day! I would highly recommend this company and I would use them for any other events we have in the future! Thank you Big Shot Photo Booths for the fun time and great memories!
Big Shot Photo Booths was a huge success at our recent Corporate Holiday Party at the Turning Stone Casino; everyone loved it! They were on time, dressed professionally, delivered outstanding customer service to our guests, and had the flexibility to stay later than originally planned (due to crowd demand)! We will definitely use them again.
Cornell Hillel is an affiliate of Cornell University. The Big Red Bar Mitzvah had over 500 students attend and Big Shot Photo Booth had amazing quality of service, value, and was completely prepared. Mike and his colleague were very professional and nice to everyone. I would definitely recommend them to friends and other businesses. I am also planning on bringing them back to the Big Red Bar Mitzvah in 2013. Thank you!
Oswego, Camden, Morrisville, Old Forge and surrounding areas.

Q: Find all lines in a file with a certain character at a certain position I have a lab question asking me to use grep with a regex pattern to match every word where the third letter from the beginning of the line is an "a" and save it with a redirect. How can I do that?

A: The solution proposed by @rahmu is simple if you look for low positions, but what if you look for the character number 25? Put in 25 dots?
In such a case the following solutions could be at hand. With grep
grep '^.\{24\}a' input >output

With awk
awk -F '' '$25 == "a"' input >output

A: This should answer your question:
grep -e "^..a" < input > savefile

MP Zaake defends himself against "beating" MAK VC Nawangwe
Zaake argues the charges are meant to divert attention from the Makerere University students strike demands
by Sam Ibanda Mugabi
The Mityana Municipality MP, Francis Zaake, has defended himself against allegations of threatening Makerere University Vice Chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe, arguing that the ongoing investigations are aimed at diverting the public's attention from what happened during the strike at the university.
Zaake, who appeared before Parliament's Committee on Rules, Privileges and Discipline, said that the recent strike at Makerere exposed the poor administration and management at the University and the torture of students by armed forces, which are being shielded from scrutiny by the investigation.
"To the best of my knowledge I did not behave in a non-parliamentary manner, I did not threaten him [Prof. Nawangwe], I took the opportunity to put across queries I had wanted to ask during the committee meeting but was denied a chance," Zaake said during the meeting held on Wednesday 18 December 2019.
He said that because he was denied chance to put across his queries to the VC during the meeting, he used the opportunity after the meeting to express his concerns to him who he said was even smiling during their interaction.
Committee Chairperson, Hon. Clement Ongalo-Obote wondered why Zaake would want to engage Nawangwe after a committee meeting, when such engagements do not form part of the committee report.
"What did you want to achieve by expressing your interests to the professor after the meeting? If you were not satisfied with the committee proceedings, our Rules allow you to write your concerns in a minority report and present it after the majority report," he said.
Zaake appealed to the committee disregard the testimony of Prof. Nawangwe who he said has no evidence to allegations, but was advised by the chairperson Obote-Ongalo that the committee report will be guided by the testimonies of all witnesses.
During the day's plenary sitting, the Committee requested and was granted more time to finalise with their investigations and report. The Committee is now expected to report to the plenary in January 2020.

DALLAS, Pa. – If Saturday was any indication, the Ursinus College football team could certainly get used to this postseason thing.
Thomas Garlick accounted for four touchdowns and added a package of new records to his historic junior season, Samuel Ragland put up 340 all-purpose yards and five scores of his own, and the Bears offense went buck-wild in a 70-14 rout of Misericordia in the Centennial/MAC Bowl Series. A frigid field flanked by snow did nothing to slow Ursinus, which established new program records for points and yards (703) in a game.
Garlick finished 17-of-25 for a career-high 365 yards to break the all-time mark held by Frank Vecchio '00 with 2,772 and earn MVP honors. Garlick set a Centennial Conference record with 341 yards in the first half, eventually edging past Vecchio's standard on a 29-yard strike to senior Alec Vera late in the second quarter.
Ragland, meanwhile, racked up a career-best 203 yards and four touchdowns on the ground to match his own school record for rushing touchdowns in a game and became the sixth player in school history to rush for over 200 yards. The sophomore sensation added five catches for 95 yards and a touchdown and a 42-yard kick return to finish the season with 1801 all-purpose yards (954 rushing, 645 receiving, 202 returning). His 18 rushing touchdowns are one short of the record set by Shearrod Duncan in 2001, and give Ragland 26 for his career to rank tied for second in Ursinus history.
Ursinus (8-3) made a run at the all-time conference record for yards in a game before falling just shy of the 733 logged by Gettysburg in 1999. The offense averaged 10.7 yards per play, and the Bears' 70 points are tied for the third-highest single-game total in CC history. Senior Kirk Cherneskie took advantage of the fireworks, making all 10 of his extra points to set a new record of his own with 41 on the year.
Garlick completed passes to seven different receivers. Junior Zach Gravelle had three catches for a career-high 90 yards, and seniors Jacob Clifford (75 yards) and Vera each hauled in a touchdown in their final game as a Bear.
Garlick opened the scoring by keeping it himself on a triple-option to the right, bulling his way in for a 5-yard touchdown run to make it 7-0 at the 9:30 mark of the first quarter.
The Cougars answered right back on the next play as David Cromwell found a seam off the left side and sprinted 65 yards to pay dirt. But Garlick made it three touchdowns in as many plays (and just 28 seconds), capping an incredible see-saw of scoring with a 75-yard strike to wide open senior Jacob Clifford, who had gotten well behind the secondary as Garlick faked a toss to Ragland.
The Bears cooked up a third straight scoring drive thanks in large part to some quick-hitting passing plays, the first a shallow cross to Gravelle for a gain of 20 on 3rd-and-9. Garlick sniffed out a blitz and fired a dart to Ragland, who took the slant and knifed his way into the end zone for a 24-yard touchdown and a 21-7 advantage with 3:40 still left on the first-quarter clock.
After forcing a Misericordia punt, the Bears traversed 91 yards in just six plays to seize a 28-7 lead on Ragland's 1-yard touchdown run. Garlick connected with Gravelle for 27 yards before finding Loughlin wide open across the middle for a 36-yard gain down to the Cougars' 1, and Ragland punched it in on the next play.
Pressure up the middle led to a big turnover on the next possession, with freshman Shane Jones recording his first career interception on a pass through the hands of the receiver. That set up Garlick and the offense at the Cougars' 28, but a busted double reverse resulted in a loss of 23 yards seemed to kill any scoring opportunity. Garlick somehow pulled a Houdini, picking up 22 yards on 3rd-and-33 on a dump-off to Ragland and then dropping his record-breaking pass right into the breadbasket of Vera on 4th-and-11.
The Cougars picked off Garlick for the second time on a tipped ball and scored three plays later on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Barry to Sam Gillison. A pair of penalties backed the ensuing kickoff back to the 15, and sophomore Kyle Wiggins' return gave Ursinus the ball at the plus-41. Ragland took a screen pass to the Cougars' 3 and scored his second touchdown of the game on the next play to make it 42-14 just before half.
The Bears were unstoppable in the first half, piling up 405 yards of total offense. Garlick had 347 through the air, a conference record for a half, and the 42 points were already the team's most in a single game since a 47-31 victory over Dickinson in the 2014 season finale.
Ragland added another electrifying play to his ledger early in the third, breaking through the left side and dashing down the sideline for a 92-yard touchdown run. The sophomore matched his own program record for touchdowns in a game on a 13-yard option pitch from Garlick that made it 56-14 with 6:12 left in the third.
Freshmen Aidan Klassan and Quaran Davis each registered their first career touchdowns to close out the scoring.
Junior Noah Thomas had a sack and two tackles for loss to lead the defense. Junior Jacob McCain posted four tackles to finish with 112 for the year, good for sixth in program history. Ursinus held Misericordia to 283 yards on the day.

The True and Authentic History of Jenny Dorset
Narrated by a sharp-eyed but genial family servant named Henry Hawthorne, this novel vividly brings to life its beautiful heroine, whose headstrong and wayward childhood foreshadows the fierce freedom fighter she will become as the Revolutionary War approaches Charleston.
The lives of Jenny and her family are intertwined with those of the Smythes, owners of the adjoining plantation, and the dizzying, often hilarious feud between Jenny's father and Mr. Smythe forms the backdrop against which Jenny's story unfolds. Scrupulously researched, Jenny Dorset recreates 18th-century Charleston like no story ever has—from its heyday in the 1760s as an energetic, boisterous seaport until 1782 when it gained its independence from British occupation. The city's teeming life—on the streets, by the docks, in the taverns—adds a rich texture to the fabric of the novel.
Woven into the tapestry of 18th-century Charleston, this comic epic traces the rise of two low-country plantation families and propels readers on a merry adventure. Jenny Dorset is a big, sprawling story set in a time and place where high adventure was afoot, depicting Charleston from its heyday in the 1760s as an energetic seaport until 1782, when it gained its independence from Britain.

Forthcoming experiments at the Joint European Torus (JET), currently the world's largest fusion energy experiment, will take a surprising twist, with some internal components being deliberately melted. The reason? In preparation for ITER, JET's tenfold-larger successor, scientists will need to know what effect such melting would have on experiments.
ITER is under construction in the south of France. It will create the first ever long-duration burning fusion plasma, which will inflict a heat load on the vessel that is equivalent to the temperature on the surface of the Sun. Astonishingly, ITER's design engineers predict that tungsten tiles can withstand this condition during normal operation. However bursts of turbulence similar to solar flares may momentarily heat the tungsten above its melting point (3422 °C). To simulate this, a tile in JET has been deliberately misaligned to create transient melts. These will be superficial only and will not endanger the 700 tonne JET vessel, but the effect on the plasma – if any – will be vital information for the ITER design team.

Are you struggling to store all your movies on regular DVDs? A new method published by researchers at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI, part of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, EMBL) makes it possible to store 100 million hours of high-definition videos in a cup of… DNA!
The team, led by Nick Goldman and Ewan Birney, designed a method to synthesise information into DNA, duplicate it, and read it back. Stored under the right conditions, DNA can last tens of thousands of years, as shown by studies of woolly mammoth remains. DNA is also very small and dense, and its code is universal: all qualities that could make it a very appealing technology for storing the enormous amounts of data generated in research facilities.
Nick Goldman introduced his team's findings to a fascinated audience at a recent TEDx event in Prague, Czech Republic. The experience proved to be a high point in the popularisation of research on DNA storage.
To learn more, watch Nick Goldman's talk on Youtube or read the press release on the EMBL website.

ESA: Is the ozone layer recovering?
Since the 1980s, the emission of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases has caused a hole to form in the protective ozone layer of the atmosphere. Weather conditions make the low levels of ozone particularly noticeable over the Antarctic in spring (September to November).
The European weather satellite Metop is monitoring the hole in the ozone layer, and the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative collects many measurements to track the changes over time.
Antarctic from 1996 to 2012.
Since the reduction in CFC emissions in the 1990s, the hole has begun to shrink. The newest data from Metop show that the hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica in 2012 was the smallest it has been in a decade. CFC gases remain in the atmosphere for a very long time, but these promising results demonstrate that the ozone layer has begun to recover.

ESA is Europe's gateway to space, with its headquarters in Paris, France.
Astronomers used three telescopes at facilities of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile to observe the dwarf planet Makemake as it drifted in front of a distant star and blocked its light. The new observations have allowed them to check whether Makemake is surrounded by an atmosphere. This chilly world has an orbit lying in the outer Solar System and was expected to have an atmosphere like Pluto, but this has now been shown not to be the case.
The scientists also measured Makemake's density for the first time. The new results were published in the journal Nature.
This artist's impression shows the surface of the distant dwarf planet Makemake. It is about two thirds of the size of Pluto, and travels around the Sun in a distant path that lies beyond that of Pluto, but closer to the Sun than Eris, the most massive known dwarf planet in the Solar System.

ESRF and ILL: Crystallography? What is that?
Obviously, crystallography is the study of crystals, but it is also much more than that. Crystallography is a powerful technique that allows us to explore all sorts of material and even biological samples. It is a way to look at atoms and molecules and to understand how the world around us is ruled by these tiny bits of matter.
Modern crystallography started about one hundred years ago, when Max von Laue discovered that X-rays were diffracted by crystals. Soon after, William Lawrence Bragg, helped by his father, found that the X-ray diffraction patterns could reveal the intimate structure of matter. Laue and the Braggs received Nobel Prizes only two years after their discoveries, in 1914 and 1915, respectively. To celebrate this tremendous breakthrough, 2014 has been declared the International Year of Crystallography by the United Nations.
Today, crystallography is more active than ever thanks to the development of large-scale facilities such as very powerful X-ray sources, called synchrotrons, and neutron sources, which can both be compared to super-microscopes for the investigation of matter. In Grenoble, France, two world-class facilities are leading neutron and X-ray research: the Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). Every year, they welcome thousands of researchers from all over the world to perform crystallographic experiments.
ESRF and ILL started celebrating 100 years of crystallography in 2012 by co-organising various events. Much more is expected in 2013 and 2014: an exhibition, 3D digital animations and interactive educational material will be produced in various languages, together with many partners from across the world. We will keep you informed!

Vocus' Australia Singapore Cable operating at 50% more capacity
Stephen Ronchi
ASC (Australia-Singapore Cable)
Vocus has announced its Australian Singapore Cable (ASC) system was now operating with an end-to-end total capacity of 60 terabits per second (Tbps) – 50% more capacity than it launched with less than 10 months ago. In addition to the increased end-to-end capacity, the ASC's Singapore to Indonesia connection now has a capacity of up to 44Tbps and its Perth to Indonesia connection now has a capacity of up to 33Tbps.
Built to accommodate the fast-growing demand for high-speed data services across Asia Pacific, the ASC's design has given Vocus and its customers a unique level of flexibility, as well as strategic options for future expansion.
The ASC system comprises 4 fibre pairs, that provide different connection points between Perth and Singapore, as well as into Christmas Island and Indonesia.
The design, the optical technology chosen, the ultra-specific engineering and the high standard of manufacture, assembly and construction are what have given Vocus the flexibility to significantly increase the capacity of each leg of the ASC.
In addition to the increased end-to-end capacity, the ASC's Singapore to Indonesia connection now has a capacity of up to 44Tbps and its Perth to Indonesia connection now has a capacity of up to 33Tbps.
Vocus Chief Executive, Wholesale, Mark Callander said with Asia Pacific continuing to be the epicentre of global growth, the ASC would provide valuable opportunities for governments, businesses and consumers for years to come.
"The ASC is a perfect example of how secure, reliable, high speed, high performance networks are amongst the most critical pieces of infrastructure in our world today," Mr Callander said.
"Businesses around the world and particularly in Asia Pacific, are well attuned to this, which has resulted in strong demand on ASC.
"Since launch, we have nearly sold 10-times the entire capacity of the Sea-Me-We3 cable system on ASC. Based on the current demand, we expect to see capacity on ASC exceed 4Tbps within the first 12 months of launch, and there is increasing demand across all paths to the west," he said.
Mr Callander said the ASC also gave Vocus options for further strategic investments in its fibre network.
"The ASC provides valuable future options, such as a connection to our existing North West Cable system that extends from Port Headland to Darwin, servicing Australia's oil and gas and mining sectors.
"It also gives us more options into Indonesia, the fourth most populated nation in the world, and with the seventh largest economy that is growing at around 5%," he said.
Vocus' ASC system is an advanced, high capacity, low latency, secure and reliable submarine fibre optic cable system. It is also the first that is 100% owned by a telco carrier.
Stretching 4,600km between Perth and Singapore, with connections to Christmas Island and Indonesia, ASC provides an alternate and direct high capacity route to Asia Pacific, as well as alternate connections to Europe and the USA.

Q: Place the sidebar exactly below without setting any value of `top` or `bottom` I want to design an option to toggle the sidebar in the small devices.
So, I have tried to set the some div as a sidebar, so that I have set the value of div as top-0 and left-0, giving the class as inset-y-0 left-0, so it is showing up exactly from the top-0 but I want to make the sidebar start from the end of the top-navbar.
How does it will be possible to place the sidebar exactly below the top-bar without setting any value of top or bottom?
Also, the sidebar should be in line with the logo when the devices are greater than sm.

Expected result:

A: The way I would do it is to add a class to the sidebar which adds margin-top: 40px; to create an offset the same height as the top nav-bar.
This of course assumes that your top-nav bar is a fixed height.

SBTech launches mobile-focused "Add2Bet" enhancement to its industry-leading Sportsbook
SBTech, the leading sports betting solutions provider to the online gaming and betting industry, today announced the launch of Add2Bet, its newest cutting-edge Live Betting feature.
Enabling players to immediately use the cash out value of an open bet to create a new double, treble or acca by combining it with new selections, Add2Bet is one of a series of recently-launched mobile-focused enhancements to SBTech's market-leading sportsbook solution, designed around simplicity and ease-of-use.
Its rollout further strengthens SBTech's position as the in-play betting market leader – the company has won EGR B2B awards for its live product for the last four years.
The new feature is expected to have a positive impact on SBTech operators' turnover, by giving players more control over their betting and appealing more effectively to millennials.
Add2Bet was launched following in-depth research* and development by SBTech, including extensive A/B testing, focus groups and practical scenario implementation in a live environment.
Key findings were that:
Under-35s are early adopters of the feature – users from this age group tried Add2Bet after seeing it just twice on average, whereas older users waited until they'd viewed it an average of five times.
Of the total betting volume generated by the sample group, 7% of English Premier League live bets were placed by using Add2Bet to change an existing live bet.
Nearly 70% of players who use Cash Out for an average of 40% of their betting activity placed a bet using the new feature.
Tom Light, SBTech Senior Vice-President of Business Development, will be presenting Add2Bet at the upcoming EiG expo in Berlin on Tuesday, October 31st at 11 am.
He commented: "Add2Bet is the latest example of a key sportsbook feature designed to benefit both players and betting operators and we believe it is the fastest and most ergonomic innovation produced by any betting solutions provider thus far. I look forward to presenting the product and discussing it in depth with our clients and contacts."
*Methodology: SBTech carried out the research with a sample of 200 players in September 2017 against a control group of 50 users from the same segments with the feature disabled. Each player used his or her own betting account with £200 credit supplied by SBTech.

1. Does the artist and/or record label have to give up their rights to the song in order to be part of the compilations?
answer: Absolutely not! All that the artist is doing is giving Abrazos or Firework permission to feature their song in a not-for-profit compilation, retaining all rights to their song. That simple.
2. Where does the money go?
answer: www.cancerbenefit.org wants to make the biggest impact possible in helping to find a cure to breast cancer (via Abrazos) and osteosarcoma (via Firework). Currently the beneficiaries are: The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative (osteosarcoma). We believe in total transparency: our finances spreadsheet is available upon request.
3. How much does each song generate?
answer: This depends on which store and whether the song is being purchased for download or streamed. To use an example of the most popular store, however, for every $0.99 song sold at the iTunes store, Apple keeps roughly $0.30 and the rest goes to www.cancerbenefit.org. We do not have a lot of overhead, so once we cover website hosting costs, digital distribution costs, promotional campaigns and album cover art, all the money generated is donated to the charities outlined above. The nice aspect of this concept is that compilations continue to generate money long after they are released.
4. Why do you not release the compilations on physical CDs?
answer: We did at first. In fact, Abrazos 2005, 2006 and 2007 all have been released on CD as well as digitally. The reality, however, is that manufacturing CDs is very expensive, and the vast majority of our sales of those editions were digital downloads, so CDs did not make practical sense for us. We want most of the money to go to cancer research, not overhead. HOWEVER, Amazon does offer a service where people can have a one-off CD created for them, so donors who absolutely want a physical CD can get one via that service.
5. Must the song be previously unreleased?
answer: The song does not HAVE to be previously unreleased, but it certainly makes for a more compelling compilation, as the fans get access to a song they do not already own. We love the idea of bringing a song out into the spotlight that might have been waiting patiently in the sidelines. In a way, www.cancerbenefit.org also rescues songs. :)
6. Which artists have participated in compilations so far?
answer: We are incredibly lucky and thankful to have featured many gifted and wonderful artists including:
Howard Jones (RIAA multi Platinum certified artist, #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 'No One is to Blame', #1 on the U.S. adult contemporary chart, 9 hits in the Billboard US Hot 100 chart, 2 hits in the Top 10)
