The people who resided in the desert state known as Utah had an arid hit in the year of 1977. The Color Country Spectrum reported on February 27, 1977, that Gov. Scott Matteson had encouraged residents to prepare for the drought and urged the state to act as a team. Matheson asked Utah cities to help find a solution for the water shortage, particularly during the dry summer months.
Although the entire state experienced a water shortage that year, southern Utah — and the city of St. George — was particularly affected by the drought.
The city's residents had saved water because of the shortage. The Water and Power Board enacted strict rules regarding water usage. Even so, the dryness still came.
St. George's main water source was from natural springs and wells, but with the dry weather, the sunny city worried whether there would be enough water to last through summer. People feared that irrigation and agriculture would be hit the hardest. The Color Country Spectrum reported on February 24 that with the growth of the city and community it gave a great reason to also have the water usage shortened. The water development was worked on and was combined with the sewer project.
Fred Rendell, author of Making the Desert Bloom, wrote that "The Water and Power board were on a constant alert which made them ration the water." (Rendell, 225) With the water disappearing, it had left residents with fear of water depletion. The almost waterless city had to find a solution to the shortage.
In fact, because of the dry weather, many residents had lost their jobs. But, the drought gave residents a new task. The Color Country Spectrum reported on March 4 that locals were asked to help in any way that they could. Ideas included limiting water usage, restricting the use of sprinklers, using water only for essential needs, and finding better sources of water. The residents would determine how much water they would have been able to use. This had made the residents look harder for water sources. The best idea was to go to local ponds, reservoirs, and lakes.
Drilling ensued and five wells ultimately were constructed to feed "two giant underground storage tanks." The Color Country Spectrum reported on March 4 that putting the tank in Snow Canyon Park created a water supply for residents of St. George.
Constant reminders to save and use water wisely were difficult for residents of St. George. However, the city pulled through, in part due to hard work and a team effort. This feeling of coming together helped to create an atmosphere of achievement and a sense that their city in southern Utah would remain.

The Wenner family lived on Fremont Island from 1886-1891, the only family to ever call Fremont Island home. Uriah James and Kate Wenner are forever sealed into the history of Fremont Island, the Great Salt Lake and the state of Utah.
A very important contributor to the history of Fremont Island is Howard Stansbury, who developed the first geographical outline of the Great Salt Lake. Stansbury had a meeting with Brigham Young, the pioneer of Mormonism and the migration to Utah, to develop the survey outline of the Great Salt Lake. Of the meeting, Stansbury declared, " The impression was that a survey was to be made of their country in the same manner that other public lands are surveyed, for the purpose of dividing it into townships and sections." (Madsen, 152) Stansbury knew of Fremont's discovery and "in honor of him who first set foot upon its shore," Stansbury revived the territory's true name, Fremont Island. (Miller, 220-21) Using the created surveys, he determined that the island would excel as a territory for sheep herding.

The story of the Wenners begins with their arrival in Salt Lake City in 1880. Uriah James Wenner launched a small law office, which transformed the family into some of Salt Lake City's most successful and recognizable citizens. Eli A. Smith, a judge, was relieved of his duties due to a violation of the Edmunds Act of 1882. Salt Lake City Governor Eli H. Murray proclaimed in the September 9, 1882, Deseret News, "Know ye, that by virtue of the anthority in me vested, I, Eli H. Murray, Governor of said Territory, do hereby appoint" Wenner to fill the vacancy. The article reported that Murray had announced several new positions, one of which was probate judge of Salt Lake County. Uriah James Wenner had been tapped to serve on the bench. Wenner, a non-Mormon, accepted the position.

The Wenner family had been able to explore and rediscover life. The family was able to appreciate the natural beauties of both the island and of living in peace and solitude. These were the main highlights of their time spent on Fremont. Living in solitude forced the family to try new things. In "A True Story" of island life, Kate Wenner described an episode where she milked a cow: "His (Uriah Wenner) greatest surprise on the Island was my bucket of milk, and I am sure it was the cow's greatest surprise too." (Noble, 231) When the Wenner family was missing an ingredient or supply, they would simply say it was not needed, that it was an attempt at something new. That seemed to be the reality of island living, only the true necessities mattered, it was an eternal happiness for the Wenner family.
Unfortunately, the joyous times did not last. As the years went by, Uriah Wenner had begun losing his battle with tuberculosis. He stopped working, he needed the assistance of a walking cane, and when he was bedridden he was forced to call upon his wife for all his needs. Wenner died peacefully in 1891, lying in his bed on his beloved home, his island Fremont. According to Kate Wenner's story, her husband's final words to her were, "I love you, love the children." (Noble, 232) With those words he rested for the final time. In a stunned fear, she used the island's only distress signal with the mainland. Kate set off multiple fires on the highest hill, but it took several days until she was able to see a fire lit on the mainland shore. This signal meant that help was on its way.

Zion National Park is one of the United States' natural hidden treasures and would not be the utopia that it is today without the efforts put forth by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Also known as the CCC, this program was created to help sustain jobs and to give opportunity to the young unemployed men of the United States as well as to improve public lands during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Signed as a national park in 1919, Zion is one of Utah's best-kept secrets and the first national park of the state. Mukuntuweap Canyon, which was the original name for Zion Canyon, was the "cool habitat that became the home for the first people of Utah … around 11,000 B.C.," writes David Oswald in his book, A Journey Through Mukuntuweap: The History of Zion National Park. Located in the southeast corner of the state, Zion is a spectacular Park that can only be accessed by one double-lane state road, which is closed to public traffic in the summer months. Instead, visitors ride park-run busses that help keep the park almost emission free, clean and pristine. One thing that is more than likely forgotten by the visitors who come to the park is the history and how it came to be. Zion not only has a rich history of Native American culture but also an opulent history that involves the growth sustainability of the United States as a country.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt established the CCC on March 31, 1933. The organization was created to fight against soil erosion and declining timber resources by utilizing unemployed young men from large urban areas across the country. It is said that "the speed with which the plan moved through proposal, authorization, implementation and operation was a miracle of cooperation among all branches and agencies of the federal government. It was a mobilization of men, material and transportation on a scale never before known in time of peace." (CCC Legacy) After establishment the program boomed, and held great public support with hundreds of thousands of young workingmen enrolling every day.

For payment, the men were given somewhere to sleep, food to eat and clothing to wear, and made about $30 a month. Most of them kept $5 and the remaining $25 was sent home to their families. (Oswald) Topics regarding the "hearty Army meals and menus," the clean hospitality that was given to the workers, as well as the hefty budget that was dedicated to running the camps can be seen in an article from the Kane County Standard on February 15, 1935. The reporter writes, "When the American boy of today goes into the woods he takes his appetite with him no less than his older brother took and appetite to war in other days." Men gained an average of "9 ¾ pounds" after working in the camps for only three months, according to an article form the Iron County Record published on March 8, 1934. This information was noteworthy news because of the Great Depression in which the rest of the country was rationing food and supplies. Working for the CCC was not only beneficial to the country, but also for the workingmen who got the opportunity to enroll.
The men spent all week completing backbreaking jobs around the park, including building the 1.1-mile tunnel through a solid mountain. But they still had the energy to spend time taking hikes throughout the park on the weekends. One example of this is from the diary of Belden Lewis, a CCC enrollee who worked in the park from 1934-1935.
These places that Belden mentions are some of the most popular hikes in the Park and today are very frequently traveled trails, which were created by the CCC. "The main roads and trails of the canyon were built, including the trail to The Narrows by the men of the CCC." (Larson) The men worked extremely hard on creating the beautiful park that we see today, but also had the amazing opportunities to explore the park themselves.
The CCC did wonders for Zion and almost the entire park holds the history of this hard time for the United States. When the Civilian Conservation Corps' work in Zion was ended in 1942, many of the men were able to transition from structured CCC life to the structured life of a military man as they fought in World War II. The CCC was essential in the creation of Zion and without their work it is hard to say what would have became of the canyon, if anything.
Today, more than 2.5 million curious patrons visit Zion National Park annually, and many hope to catch a glimpse of the sun rising on the Towers of the Virgin. In the summer months, busy sightseers crowd the paths like sidewalks in New York City during rush hour, and walk upon trails created by the CCC. Zion National Park holds nothing less than the jaw-dropping landscapes and awe-inspiring cliff faces one would assume. There is nothing like it in the world and without experiencing this veiled sandstone treasure with your own eyes, you cannot say that you have seen the earth's natural true beauty.

During the spring of 1983, Utah was awakening from one of the wettest winters on record. The previous year saw record precipitation and, in the latter part of 1982, summer rains continued through the fall. Rainfall eventually turned to winter snows and, in the process, saturated the ground beyond its capacity. What was left in the spring was an unusually large snowpack that was waiting to release its moisture down the mountain streams. In normal years the snowpack melts slowly due to air temperatures that gradually warm through late June. This particular season, however, saw a very rapid warm up that created an equally rapid snowmelt and high run-off that overwhelmed local streams, buried a town underwater, and turned streets into rivers.
Throughout this record water year, each new storm was adding to a narrative that would become the prominent news story from mid-April through mid-June 1983. This narrative was conveyed through the two local newspapers, The Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News, and each story seemed to be a precursor to the subsequent stories that followed.
What would follow was a flood that had a lasting impact on Utah's capital city and northern Utah, in general. This flooding was the result of heavy precipitation that accumulated during the 1981-82 water year, which began in October 1981, and culminated in September 1982. According to Linda Sillitoe in her article, "Floods," it was a "water year that had broken all records; then September 1982 climaxed with ten times more moisture than normal." Within this last month of the water year, saturated ground turned to mudslides that closed Big and Little Cottonwood canyons and flooded creeks to the point that the state's Governor, Scott Matheson, declared a state of emergency, although federal aid was denied. (Sillitoe) September's floods paled in comparison to what the following spring had to offer.
In contrast to the reporting in The Salt Lake Tribune, the Deseret News took the opportunity to report on the impact the slide would have on the last run of the Rio Grande Zephyr, "the nation's last privately owned, inter-city passenger railroad," that was scheduled to run on April 24. (Fackrell) Inclusion of this bit of information brought a somewhat personal, or humanistic, approach to the paper's reporting.
It would be nearly a full month after the Spanish Fork slide that the areas located in Salt Lake County felt the brunt of the melting snowpack. Spring storms were still falling on northern Utah throughout May, and by mid-month it was evident that disaster would soon strike Salt Lake City. On May 17, the result of these storms was beginning to show as "the rain and snow filled Red Butte and Emigration Creeks to overflowing and in some areas the bubbling water flowed into curbs and gutters." (Sorenson) It was the same story in the surrounding suburbs of Salt Lake City, and the nearby towns located in Davis and Utah counties, as the groundwater began to push above ground. Eventually, the rains were reduced to isolated storms, but in their wake the makings of a "worst-case scenario" was brewing.
Sandbagging efforts created manmade rivers in Salt Lake City over Memorial Day weekend in 1983. Courtesy of Special Collections, J. Willard Marriott Library, The University of Utah.
Water began flowing down the makeshift river on Friday, May 27, between dikes that were seven feet high. The waterway was also extended six blocks eastward to accommodate the overfilled reservoir in Liberty Park. The Deseret News noted that "traffic was snarled … as crews blocked major roads and turned them into rivers." (Davidson) Around the Salt Lake Valley, the melting snowpack was overfilling the numerous creeks and streams and prompted Salt Lake's mayor, Ted Wilson, to declare a state of emergency for the city. City and state officials also began pleading with the public to supply volunteers to help with the sandbagging efforts in and around Salt Lake.
The next day, May 28, in a downtown park known as Memory Grove, water surged over a pond and sent City Creek rushing down both Main Street and State Street. (Ure) It was this event that made the flooding front-page news in the Sunday paper as the water flow from the creek "set a record of 234 cubic feet per second; the old record was 156 feet per second." ( Ling, Dowell, Pressley) Previously, the coverage of the flooding had been placed in the local sections of both papers, but this changed once the capital city was affected. That night, road crews and volunteers began the construction of a second river to divert City Creek southward down State Street.

This festive sentimentality was also evident as the Deseret News attempted to add a little tongue-and-cheek humor to the situation. In its Sunday edition, the paper laid out instructions on "how to turn a street into a canal," and listed the four necessary ingredients: "thousands of tons of dirt, a multitude of volunteers, a few thousandths of an inch of plastic, and, of course, water." (Warchol) Already, these rivers in the middle of the city were becoming something of a novelty.
In the few weeks to follow, wood bridges were constructed to allow for pedestrians and vehicles to cross the river and linked downtown with Interstate 15. Restaurants also capitalized on the novelty as office workers navigated around the waterways during their lunch hours. (Sillitoe) At times, an occasional fisherman could also be seen casting his lure into the brown waters from one of the bridges.
Both The Salt Lake Tribune and the Deseret News built upon this story as it evolved with each storm throughout the spring of 1983. Although television news covered the events, it was the newspapers that really captured the narrative with each article. Television was better able to show the devastation through aerial views, but only once the events took place. The newspapers were able to begin their coverage much earlier. Not only did they report on the events as they happened, they also helped to predict what was to become. Within each weather forecast throughout the spring, the papers gave predictions for air temperatures as well as the effects that the ongoing precipitation would have on future flooding.

24 March 2019 – Four days of intense fighting in the Yemeni city of Taiz has left people unable to access healthcare, with at least one public hospital forced to close. The international humanitarian medical organisation Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) warns that urban warfare in densely populated areas is having devastating consequences for civilians and is preventing war wounded from accessing life-saving care in Taiz city.
On the first day of the fighting, the MSF trauma centre, on the other side of the frontline, in Taiz Houban received a two-year-old boy with a shrapnel injury to his face after a shell landed close to his house in the old city. The family had to drive for almost three hours, crossing frontlines under gunfire to reach the facility.
MSF is an impartial and neutral medical humanitarian organisation. Across Yemen, MSF teams are working in 13 hospitals and health centres and providing support to more than 20 health facilities in 12 governorates. However, repeated attacks on medical staff and facilities in the past year have forced MSF to suspend activities in several locations. More than 119,110 war-wounded patients have been treated in MSF-supported hospitals in Yemen since March 2015, when the most recent conflict started.

How Did Memes Become the Vehicle for Hate
Fear Is Funded—and Here's How We Know
Wajahat Ali is a new kind of public intellectual: young, exuberant, optimistic, and funny. And though today's doomsday headlines report growing division and racial strife, Ali hasn't given up on his vision of a truly multicultural America—free of hate, fear, and bigotry. With refreshing honesty and humour, the New York Times writer and popular political commentator shows us how we can come together as a "multicultural coalition of the willing" and drive lasting social change.
"Wajahat Ali is writing about contemporary and essential matters, a source not only of laughter but, more importantly, of understanding."
— Yann Martel
As a New York Times contributing op-ed writer, highly sought-after political commentator, TED speaker, and award-winning playwright, Wajahat Ali is undoubtedly a jack-of-all-trades. But across his many roles, one thing remains constant: Ali uses his platform to fight tirelessly for the social change we need in our country—and he isn't afraid to get personal while doing it. His upcoming memoir Go Back to Where You Came From: And Other Helpful Recommendations on How to Become American (Fall 2021) will share stories, both hilarious and poignant, of Ali's experience growing up a Muslim Pakistani-American in an effort to inspire a new vision of America's multicultural identity.
When his two-year old daughter's battle with liver cancer took him on an unexpected and devastating journey through the U.S. medical system, Ali wrote about it with his signature candor and openness for the New York Times: "A crisis like cancer helps us answer the question: What truly matters when we are stripped overnight of our comfort, wealth, and plans?" As the coronavirus pandemic and recession poses a similar question to millions of people across the country, Ali offers his experience as a beacon of hope and resilience in the face of an impossible situation. Above all else, Ali is living proof that we can use our authentic stories—whatever they may be—to build the America we wish to live in.
Ali is also the author of The Domestic Crusaders—the first major play about Muslim Americans post-9/11— as well as the Peabody-nominated producer of the documentary series The Secret Life of Muslims. He was the lead researcher and author for the Center for American Progress's seminal report "Fear Inc., Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America," and served as a national correspondent for Al Jazeera America. There, Ali told stories of communities and individuals often marginalized or under-reported in mainstream media.
Previously, as Creative Director of Affinis Labs, Ali worked to create social entrepreneurship initiatives to support and uplift marginalized communities. He also worked with the US State Department to design and implement the "Generation Change" leadership program to empower young social entrepreneurs. Ali initiated chapters in eight countries, including Pakistan and Singapore. For his work, he was honored as a "Generation Change Leader" by Sec. of State Clinton and recognized as an "Emerging Muslim American Artist" by the Muslim Public Affairs Council. Ali has given keynote speeches around the world such as TED, The Aspen Ideas Festival, Google, the United Nations, and The New Yorker Festival. His writing appears regularly in the New York Times, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and The Guardian.

Building a "Multicultural Coalition of the Willing" A Path for a New America
Hate. Fear. Anger. Racism. Political polarization. Fake news. These are modern trends rooted in age-old anxiety—the fear of the "unknowable other." America today is divided and confused, full of tremendous uncertainty. However, Wajahat Ali argues this is also a tired remake. From the rise of white nationalism to anti-immigrant conspiracy theories, America can often feel like an intolerant space, where diverse communities are the frequent targets of bigotry and far-right ideology. But Ali imagines an America remade: united over our shared values, not torn apart by racism or hate. Our country can achieve its pluralistic potential, he says. But first, we'll need to emerge from our partisan cocoons, reach across the aisle, and build lasting partnerships. We need to see religious and cultural difference as the ideas that can bring us together, not rip us apart. And we have to create what he calls a "Multicultural Coalition of the Willing": a sort of Justice League of diverse Americans who can unite over commonalities. We can resist the forces of bigotry, Ali insists; and in this keynote, he imagines a way to achieve the American Dream for everyone.
Go Back to Where You Came From Using Your Adversity and Hardships to Fuel Success
Wajahat Ali was a shy, overweight, perpetually sick, left-handed only-child of Pakistani immigrants. He was born in America, but only learned to speak English at the age of five. At the age of 21, he left university to help his family. At one point, he lost his family home and was reduced to a $20 bill and 3 cents in his bank account. How did this dorky, privileged kid, who lost everything in his 20s, end up pursuing and fulfilling his goals of becoming an attorney, an award-winning playwright, and the co-host of a popular daily talk show? In this talk geared for college students and young professionals, Ali charts how he used failure, awkwardness, economic hardship and the last recession to fuel his unexpected growth from the awkward fifth-grader who almost got kicked out of school to becoming a talk show host and writer for The New York Times. This eventful journey is a funny, heartfelt and practical story of how to use your passion to help overcome hardships and still achieve your goals.
Steps for Creating a Truly Diverse and Inclusive Culture Why "Woke-Washing" Isn't Enough
In this deliberate, hilarious, and blunt keynote speech, Wajahat Ali gives practical advice and measures on how an organization, a business, or a community can create a diverse and inclusive culture that isn't just a bumper sticker ideology or a brochure cover with token people of color. Ali shows how a truly diverse and inclusive environment should be about intentional representation and equality. He argues forcefully and convincingly that true diversity is not just toleration and acceptance, but rather it's a constant disruption, rewarding journey, and necessary challenge that will create economic, social and creative benefit in the long run for all communities.

James Magnussen fails to make Olympic 100m freestyle
By Nick ZaccardiApr 11, 2016, 9:33 AM EDT
James Magnussen, who finished .01 behind Nathan Adrian in the 2012 Olympic 100m freestyle, did not qualify for Rio in the event at the Australian Olympic Trials on Monday.
Magnussen, the 2011 and 2013 World champion, placed fourth at the Australian trials in Adelaide, needing to finish first or second to make the Rio Olympics in the individual 100m free.
"Obviously pretty shattered," Magnussen said on Australian TV.
Cameron McEvoy won the trials in 47.04 seconds, an Australian record and the fastest-ever time outside of the high-tech swimsuit era. Kyle Chalmers, 17, was second in 48.03, followed by James Roberts (48.32) and Magnussen (48.68). Full results are here.
McEvoy broke Magnussen's Australian textile record 47.10 set at the 2012 Olympic Trials. He inched close to Brazilian Cesar Cielo's 2009 world record of 46.91.
"I had some good words of advice leading into this race," said McEvoy, who took silver at the 2015 World Championships in 47.95 behind China's Ning Zetao (47.84). "A lot of the best swimmers in the world, past and present, get up behind the blocks and just put up the curtains when they decide the lanes. I did that. I guess it paid off."
Magnussen did qualify for the Australian 4x100m freestyle relay team by finishing in the top six Monday.
Magnussen, 25, had the fastest 100m free time in the world in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, but his best yearly time had gotten slower each of the past four years. He also missed the 2015 World Championships due to left shoulder surgery.
"I've done everything I could, physically, to get back in shape," Magnussen said. "Those guys just raced a better race tonight. I couldn't keep up with them. That's how strong Australia swimming is at the moment."
The Australians, like the Americans, shockingly failed to make the 2015 World Championships 4x100m free relay final.
In London, Magnussen swam a slow leadoff leg en route to the Australians finishing fourth in the 4x100m free relay.
Magnussen can still make the Australian Olympic team individually in the 50m freestyle. That final is Wednesday.

There isn't a central list of all of the advocacy services in England. So it can sometimes be hard to find your local advocacy services.
The type of advocacy you are looking for might not be available in your area.
Use an internet search engine – use search terms like 'advocacy Leicestershire' or 'mental health advocacy Devon'.
Ask a support worker or key worker, if you have one.
Ask your local council whether they have a list.
Ask your local NHS Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) whether they have a list of local advocacy services.
Look at local service directories. You can sometimes find useful directories of mental health services online.
Get in touch with organisations that offer advocacy such as Rethink Mental Illness, Mind, SEAP, Voiceability and POhWER.
If you can't find a service in your local town or city, try searching for a service that covers your county.

Hooray for Metroid's 30th anniversary.
If you're a modder and haven't done so already, check out my Sylux mod for Samus. You'll find it on GameBanana.
So, Federation Force probably takes place after Prime 3...Ridley and Dark Samus are out... I hope Sylux gets in. The setup is logical.
Oh, the flame part was more of a joke reference to most of the attackers vs defenders argument of said game, not you in particular. I know you're not usually a flamer. :p But yeah, I mean, if it adds well to the lore and is decent to play (I don't doubt the latter, at least), I'll definitely more strongly consider it and take back a lot of the angry kneejerk reactions I had to it and stuff.
And the Ridley thing I only meant in regards to Prime 4 or whatever you call the post-FF game. FF I assume be meant to build up Sylux for that game, so that you learn more about him and his history with the Fedration (at least, I'd hope) before they get to that point. But for simplicity's sake, so Prime can still be called a trilogy, it should be Prime but with something else in the title, rather than just "Prime 4".
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I came across a good number of youtube comments by you when I was looking for FF videos/impressions earlier on (with how on the fence I've been about it), along with some podcast about Smash or something. Small world after all huh? :p At least SomecallmeJohnny should have a fairer unbiased review on it after it's out. He's one of the people I'll take their word for if they say it's good.
Can we finally get Federation Force news? What's stopping you, Ninty?
You're an amazing writer you know that?
No seriously, that article you wrote about the community repeating history was excellent, it was very informative and thought-provoking.
As a writer myself I say, beautiful.
Out of state for the rest of the week.
Hey there! Where've you been? Haven't seen you on the Snake threads recently.
I really haven't cared much for individual speculation lately given the lack of news regarding the presentation. I still look at the thread, though.
I can't believe I hadn't followed you yet.
Brawl Taunts apparently predicted Cloud. Somehow.
You know, Nintendo, taking down the actual ballot page doesn't make us less anxious. It only makes us crave new info more.
Hey, who did you get your Fire Emblem: Fates-styled Sylux done by?
I think the sale the artist had for the Fates commissions is over, iirc.
Okay, so there was September news. Not the news we wanted but still.
The trade thing still available?
Looks like you already sent me one.
What would you like dude?
Welp. I just took the stuff. You sure you don't want anything bro?
:seussheep: needs to be a thing though.
First and hopefully last time I import an Amiibo from overseas. I just really need the Mii Gunner.
Prepare for a painful September with likely no Smash news.
My hands were wearing out anyway, so I was going to withdraw soon regardless. Gotta rest them for Splatoon later.
I'll be recording two of the Samus matches.
My lag is driving me crazy.
Sad that our most recent lead on Smash news is coming from another leak. Can't Nintendo say something themselves?
Dev team obviously hates samus. The only character to not have a jab juxtaposed with ZSS. . .
Hey Liquid, do you happen to have a Steam?
Ah, was curious since you seemed to have some familiarity with TF2. And I was considering popping you an invite to my Steam Social group on here too if so.
I do love the game, don't get me wrong, but the availability of my Wii U makes it so that I rarely have to use Steam anymore unless I really want to play something different.
If you would like to join anyway though, let me know.
I told you speculation was going to be wild.
Rest in peace, Iwata. You changed millions of gamers worldwide, and for that, we salute you.
It's probably the most original idea for an avatar I've had.
Twas a commission I had made some weeks ago. A Smashified version of Sylux.
Sylux confirmed for next Metroid Prime game. With any luck, perhaps it could join Smash.
Well, on a Classic Controller, Samus seems to be my strongest character. Time to switch mains.
Finally have a Wii U.
Congratulations on this, your ritual spawning day! You've successfully navigated the travails of modern existence and have emerged all the more magnanimous for it - time to live it up with cake and ice-cream and whatever else you crazy youthful individuals have fun with!


Editors' note: this 1877 work by Frederick Engels was his major contribution to the exposition and development of Marxist theory.
"Modern socialism is, in its essence, the direct product of the recognition, on the one hand, of the class antagonisms existing in the society of today between proprietors and non-proprietors, between capitalists and wage-workers; on the other hand, of the anarchy existing in production. But, in its theoretical form, modern socialism originally appears ostensibly as a more logical extension of the principles laid down by the great French philosophers of the eighteenth century. Like every new theory, modern socialism had, at first, to connect itself with the intellectual stock-in-trade ready to its hand, however deeply its roots lay in economic facts.
"The great men, who in France prepared men's minds for the coming revolution, were themselves extreme revolutionists. They recognised no external authority of any kind whatever. Religion, natural science, society, political institutions — everything was subjected to the most unsparing criticism; everything must justify its existence before the judgment-seat of reason or give up existence. Reason became the sole measure of everything. It was the time when, as Hegel says, the world stood upon its head; first in the sense that the human head, and the principles arrived at by its thought, claimed to be the basis of all human action and association; but by and by, also, in the wider sense that the reality which was in contradiction to these principles had, in fact, to be turned upside down. Every form of society and government then existing, every old traditional notion was flung into the lumber room as irrational; the world had hitherto allowed itself to be led solely by prejudices; everything in the past deserved only pity and contempt. Now, for the first time, appeared the light of day, henceforth superstition, injustice, privilege, oppression, were to be superseded by eternal truth, eternal Right, equality based on nature and the inalienable rights of man.
"We know today that this kingdom of reason was nothing more than the idealised kingdom of the bourgeoisie; that this eternal Right found its realisation in bourgeois justice; that this equality reduced itself to bourgeois equality before the law; that bourgeois property was proclaimed as one of the essential rights of man; and that the government of reason, the Contrat Social of Rousseau,  came into being, and only could come into being, as a democratic bourgeois republic. The great thinkers of the eighteenth century could, no more than their predecessors, go beyond the limits imposed upon them by their epoch.
"But, side by side with the antagonism of the feudal nobility and the burghers, was the general antagonism of exploiters and exploited, of rich idlers and poor workers. It was this very circumstance that made it possible for the representatives of the bourgeoisie to put themselves forward as representing not one special class, but the whole of suffering humanity. Still further. From its origin the bourgeoisie was saddled with its antithesis: capitalists cannot exist without wage-workers, and, in the same proportion as the medieval burgher of the guild developed into the modern bourgeois, the guild journeyman and the day-labourer, outside the guilds, developed into the proletarian.
"And although, upon the whole, the bourgeoisie, in their struggle with the nobility, could claim to represent at the same time the interests of the different working classes of that period, yet in every great bourgeois movement there were independent outbursts of that class which was the forerunner, more or less developed, of the modern proletariat. For example, at the time of the German Reformation and the Peasant War, Thomas Münzer; in the great English Revolution, the Levellers ; in the great French Revolution, Babeuf.
"There were theoretical enunciations corresponding with these revolutionary uprisings of a class not yet developed; in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries utopian pictures of ideal social conditions ; in the eighteenth, actual communistic theories (Morelly and Mably). The demand for equality was no longer limited to political rights; it was extended also to the social conditions of individuals. It was not simply class privileges that were to be abolished, but class distinctions themselves. A communism, ascetic, Spartan, was the first form of the new teaching. Then came the three great utopians: Saint-Simon, to whom the middle-class movement, side by side with the proletarian, still had a certain significance; Fourier, and Owen, who in the country where capitalist production was most developed, and under the influence of the antagonisms begotten of this, worked out his proposals for the removal of class distinctions systematically and in direct relation to French materialism.
"One thing is common to all three. Not one of them appears as a representative of the interests of that proletariat which historical development had, in the meantime, produced. Like the French philosophers, they do not claim to emancipate a particular class, but all humanity. Like them, they wish to bring in the kingdom of reason and eternal justice, but this kingdom, as they see it, is as far as heaven from earth, from that of the French philosophers.
"For the bourgeois world, based upon the principles of these philosophers, is quite as irrational and unjust, and, therefore, finds its way to the dust-hole quite as readily as feudalism and all the earlier stages of society. If pure reason and justice have not, hitherto, ruled the world, this has been the case only because men have not rightly understood them. What was wanted was the individual man of genius, who has now arisen and who understands the truth. That he has now arisen, that the truth has now been clearly understood, is not an inevitable event, following of necessity in the chain of historical development, but a mere happy accident. He might just as well have been born 500 years earlier, and might then have spared humanity 500 years of error, strife, and suffering.
"This mode of outlook is essentially that of all English and French and of the first German socialists, including Weitling. Socialism is the expression of absolute truth, reason and justice and has only to be discovered to conquer all the world by virtue of its own power. And as absolute truth is independent of time, space, and of the historical development of man,. it is a mere accident when and where it is discovered. With all this, absolute truth, reason, and justice are different with the founder of each different school. And as each one's special kind of absolute truth, reason, and justice is again conditioned by his subjective understanding, his conditions of existence, the measure of his knowledge and his intellectual training, there is no other ending possible in this conflict of absolute truths than that they shall be mutually exclusive one of the other.
"Hence, from this nothing could come but a kind of eclectic, average socialism, which, as a matter of fact, has up to the present time dominated the minds of most of the socialist workers in France and England. Hence, a mish-mash allowing of the most manifold shades of opinion; a mish-mash of less striking critical statements, economic theories pictures of future society by the founders of different sects, a mish-mash which is the more easily brewed the more the definite sharp edges of the individual constituents are rubbed down in the stream of debate, like rounded pebbles in a brook.
"To make a science of socialism, it had first to be placed upon a real basis.
"In the meantime, along with and after the French philosophy of the eighteenth century had arisen the new German philosophy, culminating in Hegel. Its greatest merit was the taking up again of dialectics as the highest form of reasoning. The old Greek philosophers were all born natural dialecticians, and Aristotle, the most encyclopaedic intellect of them, had already analysed the most essential forms of dialectic thought. The newer philosophy on the other hand, although in it also dialectics had brilliant exponents (e.g., Descartes and Spinoza), had, especially through English influence, become more and more rigidly fixed in the so-called metaphysical mode of reasoning, by which also the French of the eighteenth century were almost wholly dominated at all events in their special philosophical work.
"Outside philosophy in the restricted sense, the French nevertheless produced masterpieces of dialectic. We need only call to mind Diderot's Le neveu de Rameau  and Rousseau's Discours sur l'origine et les fondemens de l'inégalité parmi les hommes. We give here, in brief, the essential character of these two modes of thought. We shall have to return to them later in greater detail.
"When we consider and reflect upon nature at large or the history of mankind or our own intellectual activity, at first we see the picture of an endless entanglement of relations and reactions in which nothing remains what, where and as it was, but everything moves, changes, comes into being and passes away. This primitive, naive but intrinsically correct conception of the world is that of ancient Greek philosophy, and was first clearly formulated by Heraclitus: everything is and is not, for everything is fluid, is constantly changing, constantly coming into being and passing away.
"But this conception, correctly as it expresses the general character of the picture of appearances as a whole, does not suffice to explain the details of which this picture is made up, and so long as we do not understand these, we have not a clear idea of the whole picture. In order to understand these details we must detach them from their natural or historical connection and examine each one separately, its nature, special causes, effects, etc. This is, primarily, the task of natural science and historical research: branches of science which the Greeks of classical times on very good grounds, relegated to a subordinate position, because they had first of all to collect the material.
"The beginnings of the exact natural sciences were first worked out by the Greeks of the Alexandrian period, and later on, in the Middle Ages, by the Arabs. Real natural science dates from the second half of the fifteenth century, and thence onward it has advanced with constantly increasing rapidity. The analysis of nature into its individual parts, the grouping of the different natural processes and objects in definite classes, the study of the internal anatomy of organic bodies in their manifold forms — these were the fundamental conditions of the gigantic strides in our knowledge of nature that have been made during the last four hundred years.
"But this method of work has also left us as legacy the habit of observing natural objects and processes in isolation, apart from their connection with the vast whole; of observing them in repose, not in motion; as constants, not as essentially variables, in their death, not in their life. And when this way of looking at things was transferred by Bacon and Locke from natural science to philosophy, it begot the narrow, metaphysical mode of thought peculiar to the preceding centuries.
"To the metaphysician, things and their mental reflexes, ideas, are isolated, are to be considered one after the other and apart from each other, are objects of investigation fixed, rigid, given once for all. He thinks in absolutely irreconcilable antitheses. "His communication is 'yea, yea; nay, nay'; for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil." [Matthew 5:37. — Ed.] For him a thing either exists or does not exist; a thing cannot at the same time be itself and something else. Positive and negative absolutely exclude one another, cause and effect stand in a rigid antithesis one to the other.
"At first sight this mode of thinking seems to us very luminous, because it is that of so-called sound common sense. Only sound common sense, respectable fellow that he is, in the homely realm of his own four walls, has very wonderful adventures directly he ventures out into the wide world of research. And the metaphysical mode of thought, justifiable and even necessary as it is in a number of domains whose extent varies according to the nature of the particular object of investigation, sooner or later reaches a limit, beyond which it becomes one-sided, restricted, abstract, lost in insoluble contradictions. In the contemplation of individual things it forgets the connection between them; in the contemplation of their existence, it forgets the beginning and end of that existence; of their repose, it forgets their motion. It cannot see the wood for the trees.
"For everyday purposes we know and can say, e.g., whether an animal is alive or not. But, upon closer inquiry, we find that this is, in many cases, a very complex question, as the jurists know very well. They have cudgelled their brains in vain to discover a rational limit beyond which the killing of the child in its mother's womb is murder. It is just as impossible to determine absolutely the moment of death, for physiology proves that death is not an instantaneous momentary phenomenon, but a very protracted process.
"In like manner, every organic being is every moment the same and not the same, every moment it assimilates matter supplied from without, and gets rid of other matter; every moment some cells of its body die and others build themselves anew; in a longer or shorter time the matter of its body is completely renewed, and is replaced by other atoms of matter, so that every organic being is always itself, and yet something other than itself.
"Further, we find upon closer investigation that the two poles of an antithesis positive and negative, e.g., are as inseparable as they are opposed and that despite all their opposition, they mutually interpenetrate. And we find, in like manner, that cause and effect are conceptions which only hold good in their application to individual cases; but as soon as we consider the individual cases in their general connection with the universe as a whole, they run into each other, and they become confounded when we contemplate that universal action and reaction in which causes and effects are eternally changing places, so that what is effect here and now will be cause there and then, and vice versa.
"None of these processes and modes of thought enters into the framework of metaphysical reasoning. Dialectics, on the other hand, comprehends things and their representations, ideas, in their essential connection, concatenation, motion, origin, and ending. Such processes as those mentioned above are, therefore, so many corroborations of its own method of procedure.
"Nature is the proof of dialectics, and it must be said for modern science that it has furnished this proof with very rich materials increasing daily, and thus has shown that, in the last resort, nature works dialectically and not metaphysically. But the naturalists who have learned to think dialectically are few and far between, and this conflict of the results of discovery with preconceived modes of thinking explains the endless confusion now reigning in theoretical natural science, the despair of teachers as well as learners, of authors and readers alike.
"This new German philosophy culminated in the Hegelian system. In this system — and herein is its great merit — for the first time the whole world, natural, historical, intellectual, is represented as a process, i.e., as in constant motion, change transformation, development; and the attempt is made to trace out the internal connection that makes a continuous whole of all this movement and development. From this point of view the history of mankind no longer appeared as a wild whirl of senseless deeds of violence, all equally condemnable at the judgment-seat of mature philosophic reason and which are best forgotten as quickly as possible, but as the process of evolution of man himself. It was now the task of the intellect to follow the gradual march of this process through all its devious ways, and to trace out the inner law running through all its apparently accidental phenomena.
"That Hegel did not solve the problem is here immaterial. His epoch-making merit was that he propounded the problem. This problem is one that no single individual will ever be able to solve. Although Hegel was — with Saint-Simon — the most encyclopaedic mind of his time, yet he was limited, first, by the necessarily limited extent of his own knowledge and, second, by the limited extent and depth of the knowledge and conceptions of his age. To these limits a third must be added. Hegel was an idealist. To him the thoughts within his brain were not the more or less abstract pictures of actual things and processes, but, conversely, things and their evolution were only the realised pictures of the "Idea", existing somewhere from eternity before the world was. This way of thinking turned everything upside down, and completely reversed the actual connection of things in the world.
"Correctly and ingeniously as many individual groups of facts were grasped by Hegel, yet, for the reasons just given, there is much that is botched, artificial, laboured, in a word, wrong in point of detail. The Hegelian system, in itself, was a colossal miscarriage — but it was also the last of its kind. It was suffering, in fact, from an internal and incurable contradiction. Upon the one hand, its essential proposition was the conception that human history is a process of evolution, which, by its very nature, cannot find its intellectual final term in the discovery of any so-called absolute truth. But, on the other hand, it laid claim to being the very essence of this absolute truth. A system of natural and historical knowledge, embracing everything, and final for all time, is a contradiction to the fundamental laws of dialectic reasoning. This law, indeed, by no means excludes, but, on the contrary, includes the idea that the systematic knowledge of the external universe can make giant strides from age to age.
"The perception of the fundamental contradiction in German idealism led necessarily back to materialism, but, nota bene, not to the simply metaphysical, exclusively mechanical materialism of the eighteenth century. In contrast to the naively revolutionary, simple rejection of all previous history, modern materialism sees in the latter the process of evolution of humanity, it being its task to discover the laws of motion thereof. With the French of the eighteenth century, and with Hegel, the conception obtained of nature as a whole, moving in narrow circles, and forever immutable, with its eternal celestial bodies, as Newton, and unalterable organic species, as Linnaeus, taught. Modern materialism embraces the more recent discoveries of natural science, according to which nature also has its history in time, the celestial bodies, like the organic species that, under favourable conditions, people them, being born and perishing.

No bezel-free design or wireless charging. The Doogee S55 Smartphone isn't notable for its tech specs, but for its ability to withstand adverse conditions. It's built to IP68 specifications for water and dust resistance, letting it survive in waist-deep waters for up to 24 hours. It can also operate in extreme temperatures and is powered by an octa-core chip running Android 8.0, with dual Samsung-sourced cameras on the rear and a 5.5-inch screen.
It looks like something from the future, which makes sense since it's not hitting the market until 2020. The Turing HubblePhone is a nearly all-screen device that aims to usher mobile computing into the next decade. Its clamshell-style body has a "main deck" with an 11.81-inch screen that extends over the top and down the back side of the phone, curving outward around the 60-megapixel, 15x optical zoom camera. The "upper deck" has two screens of its own, each measuring over five inches, and also holds three 12-megapixel cameras. Both the upper and main decks have their own dedicated processors and GPUs, with connectivity provided by next-gen Wifi and a 5G cellular connection — fitting specs for phone no one will get their hands on for another two years, if ever.

Q: The effect of surface area on the pressure exerted by gases In a video about the relation between pressure and volume on Khanacademy, Sal says that on increase in volume the particles hit the wall less often because the volume has increased and the surface area has also increased. In this way the pressure is going to decrease.
In this video at about 9:15
Hence according to this video pressure exerted by the gas does depend upon the surface area of the container. So if we keep the volume constant and increase the surface area can we decrease the pressure exerted by a gas?

A: As you increase the surface area you must bring parts of the surfaces closer together and this will increase the rate at which the surfaces are hit by the molecules which will compensate for the increase in area.

A: The argument in the video seems flawed: it is true that the surface area has increased, but that is irrelevant, because when you calculate pressure you look at the number of molecules hitting a unit of area, which depends on the gas density, and here on the volume, but not on the total area. The derivation is made here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_theory_of_gases#Pressure_and_kinetic_energy, and you can see that in the end only the volume matters.
And o
f course, for a fixed volume, the net force on the walls will be proportional to the area of the container.

A: It's the volume that determines the pressure (for a given amount of gas at a given temperature), so if you consider a rectangular container, increasing the surface area of two opposite sides and/or increasing the distance between those sides will increase the volume and therefor decrease the pressure. But increasing the total area while keeping the volume the same (in other words: changing the shape, not the volume) will have no effect.
To demonstrate this, assume the original container is a cube of 1 m³ (with each side a square of 1 m * 1 m) , and you change it to a rectangular box with width and length = 2 m and height = 0.25 m (top and bottom side become squares of 2 m * 2 m; left, right, front and back side become rectangles of 2 m * 0.25 m): now the average distance between particles and the top (or bottom) side of the box is reduced by a factor 4, so 4 times more particles hit the surface each second, but the surface area is also four times bigger (4 m²), therefor the pressure stays the same. The same is true for the sides of the box: the average distance has doubled, so the number of particles hitting them each second is halved, but the surface area is also reduced to half the original (0.5 m² instead of 1 m²), resulting in the same pressure.

Jamie Redknapp left baffled by Jose Mourinho comments regarding Man Utd and PSG
JOSE MOURINHO was wrong to get drawn into a conversation about his Manchester United future.

That is according to pundit and former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp.
The United boss admitted he would not end his career at Old Trafford in an interview with French television at the weekend.
He also spoke highly of PSG and hinted at potentially working at the club in the future.
The interview took place just hours after United drew with rivals Liverpool, in a game where Mourinho was criticised for his negative tactics.
And Redknapp admits he is baffled by the manager's comments.
"I don't get why you'd get drawn into something like that," he admitted on Sky Sports show, The Debate.
Seven Man United players Gary Neville thinks could have contributed to the treble season
"There's a feel good factor about Manchester United this season.
"They started the season well, had some good results.
"He [Mourinho] seems content, happier within himself.
"But why on earth would you get drawn into any kind of conversation about a club that you are trying to compete with at the moment.
"It doesn't make any sense."

Mourinho has since came out and defended his comments, insisting no manager can plan for the long-term due to way modern football is.
And although Redknapp can understand the reasoning, he still believes the interview was unnecessary.
"I get it," he conceded.
"Three years he spends at every club.
"He's a bright guy, I think you're just fuelling the flames you don't need to."

In her eight seasons as the head coach of the men's and women's cross country and track and field programs, Consandria Walker-Hall has transformed the Beacons into one of the most respectable programs in the country. The 2018 USTFCCCA Division III Indoor National Coach of the Year, and 2017 USTFCCCA Division III New England Women's Outdoor Track and Field Coach the Year, Walker-Hall continues to lead UMB to new heights.
The 2017-18 year marked a historic one for Walker-Hall and her Beacons as she led the program to back-to-back NCAA Track and Field Championships. With perhaps the greatest sprinter in Division III history in Wadeline Jonathas leading the way, the Beacons shocked the track and field world at the indoor championship, with Jonathas winning four individual national championships. At the outdoor championships, Walker-Hall's Beacons put together a tremendous team effort to claim the program's second outdoor crown in program history.
A total of 13 All-America honors were bestowed on the Beacons women's track and field team, while the men's 4x100-meter relay team became the first group of sprinters to ever earn All-America honors in the program's history.
Walker-Hall has seen her athletes set over 50 program records across both the men's and women's programs. Her student-athletes have also garnered weekly honors from both the Little East Conference and the USTFCCCA. Her leadership was evident immediately upon taking the helm of the Beacons in August 2010. She has coached several Little East Conference major award winners, while 17 student-athletes have qualified and competed at the NCAA National Championships to date.
2017-2018 – It was the year of the Beacons in 2017-18, especially on the women's side. For the second time in program history, UMass Boston hoisted both the indoor and outdoor national titles. Amongst the many honors handed out during the unbelievable season, Walker-Hall was named the Division III National Indoor Coach of the Year, while Jonathas collected every possible, conference, regional, and national major award during the indoor campaign. She also became just the second athlete in NCAA Division III track and field history to win four individual national titles at one championship.
A program record 24 USTFCCCA All-Region honors were earned by the women's team, while the men's squad collected a total of eight, which was also a new program best. The men's squad saw the first relay team earn All-America honors with Dom Nda, Garth Miriyoga, Stefan Powell, and Bless Amedoadzi posting a seventh-place finish at the outdoor championship meet.
After Jonathas and Taylor Driggers, helped secure the program's first national crown in over 30-years at the indoor championship, the duo along with Lexy Bean and Olivia Burnes put together a tremendous performance at the outdoor championship. The four competitors battled through three days of heat and rain and finished tied with George Fox as the top team in Division III outdoor track and field. With their national titles, the Beacons became just the second program in UMass Boston history to earn the number-one ranking on their respective national coaches' poll.
Driggers became UMass Boston's first individual national champion in the triple jump, while Jonathas ended her sophomore season with NCAA Division III records in the indoor 60-, 200-, and 400-meter dashes. She also collected individual national titles in the outdoor 200- and 400-meter dashes, bringing her sophomore total to six individual titles, and two team titles.
She was named the USTFCCCA National Track Athlete of the Week multiple times over the indoor and outdoor seasons. She also became the first Beacon in UMass Boston history to be named to the prestigious Sports Illustrated "Faces In The Crowd" column in late March.
For Nda he became the first sprinter to earn multiple All-America honors. Prior to leading the 4x100-meter relay at the outdoor championship, Nda posted a seventh-place finish in the 60 at the indoor championship meet. The Pittsfield native ended his time on the harbor campus, as one of the most decorated male sprinters. Virgil Harrell III became just the second Beacon to earn Little East Conference Rookie Field Athlete of the Year honors, after a standout freshman campaign.
2016-2017 – One of the most successful seasons for the Beacons, the fall season kicked-off with cross country men qualifying for the NCAA Regionals. On the women's side, freshmen Patricia Mulinge placed in the top-10 at the Little East Conference Championship, while also being named the programs first-ever LEC Female Rookie Athlete of the Year.
The track and field season did not disappoint as both squads finished in third place at the Little East Conference Championship. The Beacons had both their men's (Miriyoga, Nda, Amedoadzi, Powell) and women's (Bean, Jonathas, Burnes, Driggers) 4x100-meter relay teams ranked in the top-8 for most the spring post season. Both squads would make history by qualifying and competing at the Outdoor T&F National Championship meet.
In addition, Jonathas had a record setting year – Earning LEC Rookie Track and Track Athlete of the Year honors. She then became the first Beacon to ever earn USTFCCCA National Track Athlete of the Week, as well as being named the Division III New England and National Track Athlete of the Year for the outdoor season. Her amazing season also culminated with a DIII Honda Award Nomination for Track and Field making her the first student-athlete in school history to earn the nomination. Jonathas broke the Outdoor Division III record in the 200-meter dash, which had stood since 1999 with a time of 23.57 seconds, and had the fastest time in the 100-meter dash (11.5) throughout the 2017 campaign.
She would then go on to break the all-time record in the 400-meter dash, which had stood since 1988. The record was held by all-time great and UMass Boston Hall of Famer Genesia Eddins. Jonathas capped-off her unbelievable year with an incredible time of 52.81 seconds. Jonathas would complete her season at the USA Junior/World Championships Trials in Sacramento, CA where she made the finals in both 200m and 400m.
The 2016 outdoor track and field season was just as successful, as the Beacons saw Hulerie McGuffie '17 win the university's first national championship in over 30 years. The nine-time All-American, won the 400-meter dash at both the Indoor and Outdoor NCAA National Championship meets. At the outdoor championship, McGuffie posted the second fastest 400-meter dash time in the meet's history (53.55 seconds). McGuffie now sits third on the outdoor Division III All-Time performance list behind Jonathas and Eddins, and is also ranked in the top-10 on the Indoor All-Time performance list for the 400m. Walker-Hall and staff also saw Taylor Smith dominate in the Discus; taking first place at the conference and New England regional championship meets. Entering the Outdoor NCAA National Championship with a throw of 45.05m, Smith finished 15th overall to end her junior year. McGuffie, along with transfer Taylor Driggers, were respectively named the 2016 Little East Conference Outdoor Track Athlete and Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year.
On the men's side, Walker-Hall coached Dom Nda to his first Outdoor NCAA National Championship, where he placed 15th overall in the 100-meter dash. Nda led his conference during both track and field seasons in the short sprints; he inevitably went on to dominate the conference championship meet in both the 60-meter dash and the 100-meter dash.
The 2015 campaign marked another solid year for Walker-Hall and her Beacons. McGuffie placed fifth at the Indoor Championship, and followed up with a second-place finish at the Outdoor Championship in 400m. All-American Anisha Trappier dominated the short sprints by claiming the Indoor Little East/NE Alliance in 60-meter dash in 8.0 seconds. On men's side, Nda took gold in at the conference championship in the 60- and 100-meter dashes.
The women's 4x100-meter relay team of Trappier, Krista Ledin '15, Renee O'Brien '15 and McGuffie took seventh to earn All-America honors in the spring of 2014. O'Brien also made history by becoming the first Beacon to compete in both a track and field event at the national championship meet. Three-time All-American high jumper Carl Joseph ended the 2014 outdoor season as one of the nation's top high jumpers with a best mark of 7-00.50 feet to finish in fourth place nationally.
Under Walker-Hall's guidance, the women's program also saw its first 4x100-meter relay team qualify for the NCAA National Championship since the 1980's. In the spring of 2013, Joseph and fellow high jumper Tylor Hart both competed at nationals.
Originally from Montego Bay, Jamaica, Walker-Hall has a bachelor's degree from Northeastern University in Human Service (2010) and Master's Degree at Lasell College in Sports Management (2015).
She currently resides in Randolph, MA with her husband, Frankie Hall Jr., and their daughters Joi and Jamaiya.
