Ten Things In 2010: Songs
Posted on December 22, 2010 by movieguyjon Blather Music My Life 0
2010 was an interesting year for me. To say there were a lot of highs and lows would be kind of an understatement. There were a lot of issues I needed to work through and a lot of closure that I needed to experience before moving on with my life. I moved to a new state to pursue my career, and I started dating a wonderful person. All these ups and downs needed some kind of expression and I figured making a mixtape would be my best bet.
I hope you enjoy these songs as much as I have. They mean a lot to me.

Ten Things In 2010: Music Videos
Posted on December 21, 2010 by movieguyjon Blather Music Youtubes 4
There's a picture in a family album somewhere of me as a diaper-clad youngster dancing around the TV whilst in cowboy boots. That's probably the earliest memory I have of MTV. Growing up, music videos were always something I would turn to whenever I had the chance. These days I turn to the internet for my music video needs and I thought I would share my top ten with you.
10. I Want The World To Stop from Belle & Sebastian on Vimeo.
Whether or not this is technically a music video is up for debate. Frankly, the song is good enough to where I don't really care. It's cut from a larger video which features at least two performances from Belle & Sebastian's album Write About Love. I like seeing the visuals of the band playing and the song is way too distracting to do much in the way of nitpicking. This is just a great song!
9. She & Him In The Sun from rhivanz on Vimeo.
If you hadn't heard, or were maybe just living under a rock, Zooey Deschanel is in a band. She sings and dances around while her cohort, M. Ward looks cool and plays his guitar. That's essentially the plot to this music video and I'm quite fine with that. While the album itself has fallen some from my interest, this song remains a favorite and this video complements it nicely!
8. Warpaint "Undertow" from maudegone on Vimeo.
I never gave the new Warpaint album enough of a chance to give it a place in my top album list, but their music video for Undertow is top notch. Directed by Shannyn Sossamon, the video elicits a kind of whimsical dreamy state that's fitting for the music. Definitely a favorite. Plan for 2011: Get acquainted with Warpaint!
7. Arcade Fire – The Suburbs from Merge Records on Vimeo.
A good video for a good song. Directed by Spike Jonze. I have a feeling you'll like this one too.
6. Los Campesinos "Romance Is Boring" from Alanedit on Vimeo.
I'm not entirely sure if this is the "official" video for the song, but I'm going to assume it is and continue watching. You should too. It's Los Campesinos!
5. The New Pornographers: Crash Years from Rockonlelkek Staff on Vimeo.
While this won't go down as my favorite New Pornographers music video ever, it's a nice complement to the Neko-fronted song and features a bunch of cool umbrella choreography! Don't know about you, but I imagine that the entire band is down there twirling the umbrellas around. WAVE TO DAN BEJAR!!!
4. Broken Bells "The Ghost Inside" from Jacob Gentry on Vimeo.
What's better than a Broken Bells music video? How about a Broken Bells music video featuring Christina Hendricks in a sci-fi setting, selling her body parts to make her way across the galaxy?
3. Gorillaz – Stylo from Mario Ucci on Vimeo.
This music video from Gorillaz is a rather striking departure in that it ditches the 2D animation from the band's previous outings in favor of creepy-CGI. Bruce Willis joins the fun as an antagonist with a great car and a huge gun. The result is a really fun and engaging music video.
2. Vampire Weekend – Cousins (Official MV) by. Garth Jennings from JOOONAE LEE on Vimeo.
This is perhaps my favorite song off of Contra, and as such is my favorite music video thus far for this band. There's a low-fi quality to the video that's endearing and the editing is smart. I much prefer this video to "Giving Up The Gun," which relied WAY too heavily on slow-mo and a slew of cameos.
1. Mates of State: True Love Will Find You In The End from Amplified on Vimeo.
I love love love Mates of State, which makes having their music video at the #1 spot on my music video list a bit of a given. The idea behind the video is fun and the husband and wife team can't help but exude adorableness as they prance around the city projecting themselves onto other people, places and things.

How to achieve this? David, who's something of a streaming audio authority, having worked on a variety of streaming projects over the years, suggests the Telos Z/IPStream R/2.
According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB), streaming audio revenue has grown by more than 1,000% over the last decade. With the popularity of smart speakers and similar devices, the expectation is for streaming revenue to continue to climb, opening up a great opportunity for broadcasters.

England youth players and coaches on a Zoom physical session led by Liam Pitchford
England's elite put youth squads through their paces
Paul Stimpson
Publish date: July 2, 2020
Please note - this news article was published more than one year ago. Some of the information contained may no longer be correct.
The England squads have been pulling together across the age groups to make the most of training opportunities at home.
The elite England players, including the men's and women's No 1s Liam Pitchford and Tin-Tin Ho, have led online fitness programmes and Q&A sessions with the members of the England Youth, Aspire and Hopes squads.
It has been a chance to pass on their experience and inspire the next generation to continue working to be the best they can be.
Olympians Pitchford, Paul Drinkhall and Sam Walker have all led physical training sessions on Zoom, while Liam has also led an on-table practice for those who have robots and Sam led on-table work based around service.
Tom Jarvis has also been involved with a physical session, while Tin-Tin has been particularly active with physical and flexibility training.
All the athletes also took part in Q&A webinars with the young players, including a girls-only session led by Tin-Tin.
The chance to work with the top players who they aim to one day emulate has been a big boost to the young squad members during a difficult few months.
Felix Thomis, who is a member of the England Junior Squad, said: "We've been doing really intense training sessions with coaches and with the senior players. It's been good, I've really enjoyed it.
"Being in lockdown doesn't affect the sessions you can do – what you put in is what you get out.
"They push you to the limit – Sam Walker set up a really good session on skipping and double skipping and it really killed me by the end of the session, but I'm going to use it when we get into the actual season.
"It's good that the senior players are helping us to improve. It shows they are not just focused on themselves during this hard time and we are all working as a community."
Megan Jones, part of the Aspire squad, said: "It's good to see how fit the top players are and how they incorporate fitness in their sessions.
"We've done leg circuits and core circuits and various different exercises. They've been hard work but it's been good and I've enjoyed them.
"Tin-Tin's physical was one of the hardest, we did lots of different exercises of high intensity and she was good at motivating us."
The elite players have also enjoyed playing their part in the youngsters' development. Sam Walker said: "It's good to give something back – when I was young, a lot of people helped me, so it's only right. It's something we want to do but don't always have the time.
"During the lockdown we have had that time and it's been nice to help out and to see the kids wanting to do things and to improve. It's been fun."
There are 53 youngsters in the three England age-group squads and as well as sessions with the elite athletes, they have been working on training programmes set by the coaches, and taking part in regular meetings by Zoom to analyse and get feedback on their work.
Programme Manager Matt Stanforth said: "Whilst this period of lockdown has been frustrating in many ways, it has also presented a number of opportunities, with the most significant being the chance of our senior players to lead a variety and number of session with our youth squads which has been incredibly inspirational and encouraging for our young players.
"These online sessions have given an opportunity for our elite players to share their experience and learnings from their own personal performance journeys, as well as leading some active sessions to show the level of intensity and determination that is needed.
"The work they have done has been brilliant and has had positive impact on the players as a whole."

Health of Hispanics in northern Indiana
consensus among social and behavioral scientists is that childhood and
adolescence are the most critical periods of human development which
determine, to a great extent, the quality of one1s later adjustment to adulthood.
In larger, poor Hispanic families the child is likely "% suffer from a
IIcu lture of poverty" during these critical years of development.
Many Hispanics are also subject to the greater stress because of poor communication
skills. The inability to speak English well may not only prevent a
patient from receiving adequate care, it may result in misdiagnosis.
Despite the social and economic conditions which render Hispanics vulnerable
to physchological and emotional problems, they underutilize the mental health
services available. While it is not possible to prepare a statistical rate of
underutilization by Hispanics for Northern Indiana, those in social service
programs who work with Hispanics acknowledge the problem. Nationally,
Hispanics represented 3 percent of all admissions to state and cOLlj1ty mental
hospitals, a less than proportional representation of their population.
There are a number of hypotheses that have been advanced to explain this
underutilization. The major factors involved are structured in nature pertaining
to the acceptability, availability, and accessibility of mental health
services in terms of their relevance to the sociocultural characteristics of
Hispanics. Many Hispanics fear or distain the Anglo system. They also fear
the stigma of mentat illness. I nadequate outreach programs do not reach
Hispanics who either do not know of or are afraid of the services. Most
community mental health centers do not have a spanish-speaking staff member,
nor do they incorporate the Spanish speaking individuals mental health
perception into their program. Often diagnosis is based upon assessment
procedures developed for the Anglo population which have no demonstrated
validity for Hispanics.
Abuse of alcohol and other drugs seems to be higher among Hispanics than
among Anglos. Problem drinking is an estimated 16 percent more prevetant.
Twice as many Hispanics die from alcohol related causes as do Anglos, and
they die at a much younger age & I n northern Indiana respondants of interview
expressed concern over alcohol abuse among Hispanics.
It is difficult to estimate the number of problem drinkers in any area. A
1976 survey of Hispanics in Orange County California found that 9 percent of
the respondants believed they had a drinking problem, 27 percent felt they
lived with someone who did, and 48 percent felt they had a relative who had
a drinking problem. Seven percent drank daily and more than 25 percent
said they drank five drinks on each drinking occasion. Over 30 percent
reported they had attempted to control the amount they drank (considered by
experts to be indicative of a drinking problem). Only 1 percent had ever

Tara Barney (at podium), Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce; Molly Grover, Dubuque Area Chamber; Jason Hutcheson, Greater Burlington Partnership; Chris McGowan, Siouxland Chamber of Commerce.
A group representing chambers of commerce and economic development organizations in Iowa's 16 largest cities issued its annual "wish list" for the upcoming session of the Iowa Legislature.
Jason Hutcheson, chair of the Iowa Chamber Alliance (ICA), says one of his group's top priorities is tax reform.
Hutcheson is also the President and CEO of the Greater Burlington Partnership. John Stineman, executive director of the ICA, says one possibility to simplifying Iowa's tax system might involve eliminating federal deductibility.
"It does definitely complicate our tax code," Stineman said. "What's important there, however, is if we are going to move a way from federal deductibility, we do so in a way that does not inadvertently raise taxes, because right now that federal deductibility does have a net decrease on Iowans' tax bill." Currently, Iowa is one of a handful of states to permit tax filers to deduct all tax payments made to the federal government in calculating their state income tax liability. Chris McGowan, with the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce, says another priority of the Iowa Chamber Alliance is a "statewide-only" minimum wage.
"Any adjustments to the minimum wage should be done at the state level, not by local government entities," McGowan said. McGowan is vice-chair of the ICA. Stineman said, for now, the ICA is staying "neutral" on the idea of a hike in the statewide minimum wage. Instead, the group is only calling on the legislature to halt the patchwork of local rates that are higher than the current state standard of $7.25 an hour.
The Alliance is also calling on the legislature to develop "forward-looking" programs to encourage entrepreneurship and attract investment, while creating a "predictable and responsive" regulatory environment. The 2017 Legislative Session begins on January 9. Republicans will hold a majority in both the Iowa House and Senate over the next two years.

I love learning of a saint's virtue or mortification. Example today I learned from Father Tony at Mass this morning: Saint Louis of France: "He had a good sense of humor and enjoyed a joke, but refrained from humor on Fridays out of respect for the Passion of the Lord. He wore a hair shirt under his royal robes. He forbade any kind of profanity or vulgarity, and punished it severely in courtiers. During Advent and Lent, he himself would personally wait on and feed the hungry and indigent". (Diocese of Wichita) Happy Feast Day!
Novena for the intercession of St. Rosa de Lima in Spanish can be found here. You can have it translated at that site.
Santa Rosa de Lima, ora por el Perú!
the Spouse of the Holy Ghost.
we call thee Mother of Divine Compassion.
Behold us here in affliction and anguish.
Deign to show us thy true love.
brings all men to the true faith.
Obtain for us this great gift that all the world may form but one people united in the One True Church.
Mary, Mother of Holy Hope.
Pope Pius XII originally proclaimed May 31st as the Feast day of the Queenship of Mary.
"...8. From early times Christians have believed, and not without reason, that she of whom was born the Son of the Most High received privileges of grace above all other beings created by God. He "will reign in the house of Jacob forever," "the Prince of Peace," the "King of Kings and Lord of Lords." And when Christians reflected upon the intimate connection that obtains between a mother and a son, they readily acknowledged the supreme royal dignity of the Mother of God.
9. Hence it is not surprising that the early writers of the Church called Mary "the Mother of the King" and "the Mother of the Lord," basing their stand on the words of St. Gabriel the archangel, who foretold that the Son of Mary would reign forever, and on the words of Elizabeth who greeted her with reverence and called her "the Mother of my Lord." Thereby they clearly signified that she derived a certain eminence and exalted station from the royal dignity of her Son..."
"Mary, then, is a Queen; but for our common consolation, be it known that she is a Queen so sweet, clement, and so ready to help us that Holy Church wills that we salute her as Queen of Mercy. Mary is Queen of Mercy as Jesus is King of Justice."
"The purpose of the universal feast of the Queenship of Mary which we again happily observe and welcome this week is to stir up in our souls renewed love and devotion to our Mother and Queen and to invite all to rededicate themselves to her Immaculate Heart. These are indeed days of tension and worry throughout the world with talk of total destruction to mankind by nuclear weapons. Mary, however, our Queen and our Mother, has come to the rescue of civilization in the centuries that have passed. She will do it again if we but turn to her and beseech her for true peace throughout the world. Would that the prayer of Pope Pius XII to Mary our Queen be realized in the minds and wills of all.
'Reign over the minds of men, that they may seek only what is true; over their wills, that they may follow solely what is good; over their hearts, that they may love nothing but what you yourself love.'"
"...4. Recourse to God, so infinitely good, is all the more necessary because, far from abating, the struggle grows fiercer and expands unceasingly. It is no longer only the Christian faith that they would uproot at all costs from the hearts of the people; it is any belief which lifting man above the horizon of this world would supernaturally bring back his wearied eyes to heaven. Illusion on the subject is no longer possible. War has been declared against everything supernatural, because behind the supernatural stands God, and because it is God that they want to tear out of the mind and heart of man.
5. The war will be bitter and without respite on the part of those who wage it. That as it goes on harder trials than those which you have hitherto known await you is possible and even probable. Common prudence calls on each of you to prepare for them. And this you will do simply, valiantly, and full of confidence, sure that however fiercely the fight may rage, victory will in the end remain in your hands..."

        WrapperCollection<T> collection = u.unmarshal(source, WrapperCollection.class).getValue();
        return collection.getItems();
    }

and it throws an exception cannot org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementNSImpl cannot be cast to ..
What did I do wrong?

A: You just need to use one of the unmarshal methods that take a Class parameter.
StreamSource source = new StreamSource(new StringReqder(xml));
return (T) u.unmarshal(source, clazz).getValue();

Note

*

*The result of the unmarshal method will be an instance of JAXBElement this holds the root element information you can get the unmarshalled object by calling getValue on it.

*For marshalling you can supply the root information by wrapping your object in an instance of JAXBElement and then marshal that.

Q: How to initialize a combobox in InitNewRow I'm Trying to populate an ASPXComboBox using the InitNewRow event for inserting a new row, but I'm having problems binding the data to the ASPXComboBox.
I have used the CellEditorInitialize event for editing the row and it works fine, but the same principal on the InitNewRow event comes up with an 'object not set to an instance of an object' exception. However, the business logic function which is called returns a fully populated DataTable.
Could anyone help with this please.

A: If you want to set the comboBox's DataSource, use the CellEditorInitialize event for this purpose.  If you need to determine when the grid works in the insert new row mode, use the ASPxGridView's IsNewRowEditing property.  I.e. the code should be something like this:
protected void ASPxGridView1_CellEditorInitialize(object sender, DevExpress.Web.ASPxGridView.ASPxGridViewEditorEventArgs e) {
        ASPxGridView grid = sender as ASPxGridView;
        if(e.Column.FieldName == "SomeFieldName" && grid.IsNewRowEditing) {
            ASPxComboBox combo = e.Editor as ASPxComboBox;
            combo.DataSource = DataTable;
            combo.DataBindItems();
        }
    }

Does this approach work for you?

What the end of Net Neutrality Signals for Telehealth
This post has been updated.
Net neutrality describes the law stating that all internet providers must offer equal access to all internet content and data types, regardless of the source. On Thursday, the FCC voted 3-2 to repeal the law, a policy change that could be have profound implications on telehealth and other remote healthcare services relying on internet access.
The FCC's new plans, under the title "Restore Internet Freedom," aim to give more freedom to internet service providers – allowing them set their own definitions for the service they provide and how they provide it; this means that internet providers, like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon, can choose which content a person can access and the speed at which said access occurs.
For telehealth, some experts are warning this may add barriers to the delivery of healthcare services via the internet, as a change in internet service could inhibit patients from quickly receiving their regular health monitoring or consultation – due in part to cost or bandwidth.
Thursday's 3-2 FCC vote to repeal net neutrality was advocated by the majority of the commission to allow for a less restricted marketplace for internet service providers (ISPs). The decision, however, shocked consumers nationwide who are accustomed to and rely on equal internet access. Despite the law being enacted only two years ago in 2015, the practice of net neutrality has, for decades, been the basis on which U.S. consumers have gained fast and equal access to the web. The law was enacted after several situations came to light in which service providers were found guilty of restricting or thwarting certain content on the internet.
As a law, net neutrality required internet providers to provide equal access to all internet content and data types, regardless of the source. This included not only access, but also the speed of the connection. It means you can view your social media as easily and at the same speed as you would your email, online shopping websites, news, or other content – regardless of the source.
For more information on the history and foundation of net neutrality, read here.
The net neutrality law requiring equal access to the internet is being replaced by "principles" in the new "Restore Internet Freedom" Order. The guidelines deliver best practice suggestions to service providers and deregulate the FCC's ability to enforce equal practice among ISPs. Instead, the new law requires transparency, meaning that providers may make changes to consumers' internet access, so long as they inform the public.
The Restore Internet Freedom Order gives more freedom to internet providers to choose the service they provide and the speed at which they provide it. It offers internet providers the opportunity to charge users for access — or quick speeds — to certain content, or to charge companies for better delivery of their web content.
Theoretically, this means internet service providers can segment service into fast lanes and slow lanes, which could be dependent on the source of the content, the amount the consumer is paying for access, and a number of other factors.
Two FCC Commissioners, Mignon Clyburn and Jessica Rosenworcel, dissented from the repeal.
"The public can plainly see that the soon-to-be-toothless FCC is handing the keys to the internet… over to a handful of multi-billion dollar corporations," said Commissioner Clyburn in her statement of dissent.
However, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai who supports the repeal of net neutrality, has stated he is in favor of a law than would ensure the government stops "micromanaging the internet."
In the press release that followed the ruling, the FCC lauded the new regulation as a "bipartisan light-touch regulatory framework that has fostered rapid Internet growth, openness, and freedom" to replace net neutrality's "heavy-handed framework."
The majority of public response to the repeal has been negative, as consumers nationwide worry that their access to the internet could soon be limited, slowed, or blocked altogether. Sixteen states and the District of Columbia signed a letter to the FCC ahead of Thursday's vote – urging them to pause the vote until the comment process was evaluated.
For telehealth, this means there could soon be a major change in the delivery of healthcare services via the internet.
"One aspect of this proposal I think is worth highlighting here is the flexibility it would give for prioritizing services that could make meaningful differences in the delivery of healthcare," said Pai. "By ending the outright ban on paid prioritization, we hope to make it easier for consumers to benefit from services that need prioritization—such as latency-sensitive telemedicine."
Pai suggests that large ISPs can act on their own incentive to provide telehealth access to consumers via the "fast lane."
Critics worry patient access to medical services would largely be affected by the amount they are able to pay for internet packages. The issue could prove damaging for low-income populations, especially those in rural areas, who rely on in-home health or telehealth services. If internet costs increase, these groups may not be able to afford access to crucial care services in their home.
"If you price people out, they aren't going to be able to use it," said Mei Wa Kwong, J.D., interim executive director and policy adviser at the Center for Connected Health Policy, in an interview with FierceHealthcare. "Telehealth doesn't work if you don't have that connectivity. It's an essential element of telehealth."
It's unclear what internet access would look like in America without net neutrality, as our internet services have been based on this model since the inception of widespread internet. However, it is becoming clear that the deregulation of power — in favor of fair practice "principles" — could significantly impact telehealth and remote monitoring programs that rely on internet access to bring their patients quick, safe, and quality care.
The situation is far from over: immediately following the 3-2 vote to repeal net neutrality, many state attorneys general promised to sue the FCC in a move to regain net neutrality laws. This is in large part due to the allegation that there were fake comments filed with the FCC regarding the vote — some estimates finding as many as two million unverified comments. Other reports indicate a security attack on the FCC website preventing citizens from submitting comments. The move to sue is being spearheaded by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, though upwards of sixteen states have made official statements with similar plans.
If upheld by the courts, telehealth providers will need to take internet access into consideration when offering programs of care to patients and may have to consider alternate methods of care delivery to populations who would no longer have immediate access to internet services. Could this also have an impact on the usage of patient applications versus web portals in programs of care? Will devices syncing Bluetooth versus Wifi have an advantage? We'll see.

The first time I came across a box like this, it was housing a circular saw. It was made from rec room paneling, scrap pine, and roofing nails. While not much to look at, it was strong, and the action of the lift-out lid fascinated me. A couple of months later I learned that this is also the common design for a Japanese carpenter's toolbox. I knew I had to make one, so with some 1×12s in hand, I had at it.

People - Ancient Rome: Pompey
Born Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, he was a military and political leader of the late Roman Republic.
Pompēius in Harpers Dictionary of Classical Antiquities Cn. Pompēius Magnus , the Triumvir, son of No. 9, was born on the 30th of September, B.C. 106, in the consulship of Atilius Serranus and Servilius Caepio, and was consequently a few months younger than Cicero (who was born on the 3d of January in the same year) and six years older than Caesar. He fought under his father in 89 against the Italians, when he was only seventeen years of age, and continued with him till his death two years afterwards. For the next few years the Marian party had possession of Italy; and accordingly Pompey, who adhered to the aristocratic party, was obliged to keep in the background, and was only saved from an indictment by the intervention of Carbo. But when it became known, in 84, that Sulla was on the point of returning from Greece to Italy, Pompey hastened into Picenum, where he raised an army of three legions. Although only twenty-three years of age, Pompey displayed great military abilities in opposing the Marian generals by whom he was surrounded; and when he succeeded in joining Sulla in the course of the year (B.C. 83) he was saluted by the latter with the title of Imperator. During the remainder of the war in Italy Pompey distinguished himself as one of the most successful of Sulla 's generals; and when the war in Italy was brought to a close, Sulla sent Pompey against the Marian party in Sicily and Africa. Pompey first proceeded to Sicily, of which he easily made himself master (B.C. 82): here he put Carbo to death. In 81, Pompey crossed over to Africa, where he defeated Cn. Domitius Ahenorbarbus and the Numidian king Hiarbas, after a hard-fought battle. On his return to Rome in the same year, he was received with enthusiasm by the people, and was greeted by Sulla with the surname of Magnus , a name which he bore ever afterwards, and handed down to his children. Pompey, however, not satisfied with this distinction, sued for a triumph, which Sulla at first refused, but at length, overcome by Pompey's importunity, he allowed him to have his own way. Accordingly, Pompey, who had not yet held any public office, and was still a simple eques, entered Rome in triumph in September, 81, and before he had completed his twenty-fifth year. Pompey continued faithful to the aristocracy after Sulla 's death (B.C. 78), and supported the consul Catulus in resisting the attempts of his colleague Lepidus to repeal the laws of Sulla ; and when Lepidus had recourse to arms in the following year (B.C. 77), Pompey took an active part in the war against him, and succeeded in driving him out of Italy. The aristocracy, however, now began to fear the young and successful general; but since Sertorius in Spain had for the last three years successfully opposed Metellus Pius, one of the ablest of Sulla 's generals, Coin of Pompey. and it had become necessary to send the latter some effectual assistance, the Senate, with considerable reluctance, determined to send Pompey to Spain, with the title of proconsul, and with equal powers to Metellus. Pompey remained in Spain between five and six years (76-71); but neither he nor Metellus was able to gain any decisive advantage over Sertorius. But when Sertorius was treacherously murdered by his own officer Perperna in 82, the war was speedily brought to a close. Perperna was easily defeated by Pompey in the first battle, and the whole of Spain was subdued by the early part of the following year (B.C. 71). Pompey then returned to Italy at the head of his army. In his march towards Rome he fell in with the remains of the army of Spartacus, which M. Crassus had previously defeated. Pompey cut to pieces these fugitives, and therefore claimed for himself, in addition to all his other exploits, the glory of finishing the Servile War. Pompey was now a candidate for the consulship; and although he was ineligible by law, inasmuch as he was absent from Rome, had not yet reached the legal age, and had not held any of the lower offices of the State, still his election was certain. His military glory had charmed the people; and as it was known that the aristocracy looked upon Pompey with jealousy, they ceased to regard him as belonging to this party, and hoped to obtain, through him, a restoration of the rights and privileges of which they had been deprived by Sulla. Pompey was accordingly elected consul, along with M. Crassus; and on the 31st of December, B.C. 71, he entered the city a second time in his triumphal car a simple knight. In his consulship (B.C. 70), Pompey openly broke with the aristocracy, and became the great popular hero. He proposed and carried a law, restoring to the tribunes the power of which they had been deprived by Sulla. He also afforded his all-powerful aid to the Lex Aurelia, proposed by the praetor L. Aurelius Cotta, by which the iudices were to be taken in future from the Senate, knights, and tribunes of the treasury, instead of from the senators exclusively, as Sulla had ordained. In carrying both these measures Pompey was strongly supported by Caesar, with whom he was thus brought into close connection. For the next two years (69 and 68) Pompey remained in Rome. In 67, the tribune A. Gabinius brought forward a bill, proposing to confer upon Pompey the command of the war against the pirates with extraordinary powers. This bill was opposed by the aristocracy with the utmost vehemence, but was notwithstanding carried. The pirates were at this time masters of the Mediterranean, and had not only plundered many cities on the coasts of Greece and Asia, but had even made descents upon Italy itself. As soon as Pompey received the command, he began to make his preparations for the war, and completed them by the end of the winter. His plans were formed with great skill and judgment, and were crowned with complete success. In forty days he cleared the western sea of pirates, and restored communication between Spain, Africa, and Italy. He then followed the main body of the pirates to their strongholds on the coast of Cilicia; and after defeating their fleet, he induced a great part of them, by promises of pardon, to surrender to him. Many of these he settled at Soli, which was henceforward called Pompeiopolis. The second part of the campaign occupied only forty-nine days, and the whole war was brought to a conclusion in the course of three months; so that, to adopt the panegyric of Cicero (Pro Leg. Man. 12), �Pompey made his preparations for the war at the end of the winter, entered upon it at the commencement of spring, and finished it in the middle of the summer.� Pompey was employed during the remainder of this year and the beginning of the following in visiting the cities of Cilicia and Pamphylia, and providing for the government of the newly-conquered districts. During his absence from Rome, Pompey had been appointed to succeed Lucullus in the command of the war against Mithridates (B.C. 66). The bill, conferring upon him this command, was proposed by the tribune C. Manilius, and was supported by Cicero, in an oration which has come down to us (Pro Lege Manilia). Like the Gabinian law, it was opposed by the whole body of the aristocracy, but was carried triumphantly. The power of Mithridates had been broken by the previous victories of Lucullus, and it was only left to Pompey to bring the war to a conclusion. On the approach of Pompey, Mithridates retreated towards Armenia, but he was defeated by the Roman general; and as Tigranes now refused to receive him into his dominions, Mithridates resolved to plunge into the heart of Colchis, and from thence make his way to his own dominions in the Cimmerian Bosporus. Pompey now turned his arms against Tigranes; but the Armenian king submitted to him without a contest, and was allowed to conclude a peace with the Republic. In 65 Pompey set out in pursuit of Mithridates, but he met with much opposition from the Iberians and Albanians; and after advancing as far as the river Phasis (Faz), he resolved to leave these savage districts. He accordingly retraced his steps, and spent the winter at Pontus, which he reduced to the form of a Roman province. In 64 he marched into Syria, deposed the king Antiochus Asiaticus, and made that country also a Roman province. In 63 he advanced farther south, in order to establish the Roman supremacy in Ph�nicia, Coele-Syria, and Palestine. The Jews refused to submit to him, and shut the gates of Jerusalem against him, and it was not till after a siege of three months that the city was taken. Pompey entered the Holy of Holies, the first time that any human being, except the high priest, had dared to penetrate into this sacred spot. It was during the war in Palestine that Pompey received intelligence of the death of Mithridates. (See Mithridates [6].) Pompey spent the next winter in Pontus; and after settling the affairs of Asia, he returned to Italy in 62. He disbanded his army almost immediately after landing at Brundisium, and thus calmed the apprehensions of many, who feared that, at the head of his victorious troops, he would seize upon the supreme power. He did not, however, return to Rome till the following year (B.C. 51), and he entered the city in triumph on the 30th of September. He had just completed his forty-fifth year, and this was the third time that he had enjoyed the honour of a triumph. With this triumph the first and most glorious part of Pompey's life may be said to have ended. Hitherto his life had been an almost uninterrupted succession of military glory. But now he was called upon to play a prominent part in the civil commotions of the commonwealth, a part for which neither his natural talents nor his previous habits had in the least fitted him. It would seem that, on his return to Rome, Pompey hardly knew what part to take in the politics of the city. He had been appointed to the command against the pirates and Mithridates in opposition to the aristocracy, and they still regarded him with jealousy and distrust. At the same time, he was not disposed to unite himself to the popular party, which had risen into importance during his absence in the East, and over which Caesar possessed unbounded influence. The object, however, which engaged the immediate attention of Pompey was to obtain from the Senate a ratification for all his acts in Asia, and an assignment of lands which he had promised to his veterans. The Senate, however, glad of an opportunity to put an affront upon a man whom they both feared and hated, resolutely refused to sanction his measures in Asia. This was the unwisest thing the Senate could have done. If they had known their real interests, they would have sought to win Pompey over to their side, as a counterpoise to the growing and more dangerous influence of Caesar. But their shortsighted policy threw Pompey into Caesar's arms, and thus sealed the downfall of their party. Caesar promised to obtain for Pompey the ratification of his acts, and Pompey, on his part, agreed to support Caesar in all his measures. That they might be more sure of carrying their plans into execution, Caesar prevailed upon Pompey to become reconciled to Crassus, with whom he was at variance, but who, by his immense wealth, had great influence at Rome. The three agreed to assist one another against their mutual enemies, and thus was formed the so-called First Triumvirate. This union of the three most powerful men at Rome crushed the aristocracy for the time. Supported by Pompey and Crassus, Caesar was able in his consulship (B.C. 59) to carry all his measures. Pompey's acts in Asia were ratified, and Caesar's agrarian law, which divided the rich Campanian land among the poorer citizens, enabled Pompey to fulfil the promises he had made to his veterans. In order to cement their union more closely, Caesar gave to Pompey his daughter Iulia in marriage. Next year (B.C. 58) Caesar went to his province in Gaul, but Pompey remained in Rome. While Caesar was gaining glory and influence in Gaul, Pompey was gradually losing the confidence of all parties at Rome. The Senate hated and feared him; the people had deserted him for their favourite Clodius, and he had no other resource left but to strengthen his connection with Caesar. Thus he came to be regarded as the second man in the State, and was obliged to abandon the proud position which he had occupied for so many years. According to an arrangement made with Caesar, Pompey and Crassus were consuls for a second time in 55. Pompey received as his provinces the two Spains, Crassus obtained Syria, while Caesar's government was prolonged for five years more�namely, from the 1st of January, 53, to the end of the year 49. At the end of his consulship Pompey did not go in person to his provinces, but sent his legates, L. Afranius and M. Petreius, to govern the Spains, while he himself remained in the neighbourhood of the city. His object now was to obtain the dictatorship, and to make himself the undisputed master of the Roman world. Caesar's increasing power and influence had at length made it clear to Pompey that a struggle must take place between them, sooner or later. The death of his wife Iulia in 54, to whom he was tenderly attached, broke the link which still connected him with Caesar, and the fall of Crassus in the following year (B.C. 53), in the Parthian expedition, removed the only person who had the least chance of contesting the supremacy with them. In order to obtain the dictatorship, Pompey secretly encouraged the civil discord with which the State was torn asunder; and such frightful scenes of anarchy followed the death of Clodius at the beginning of 52 that the Senate had now no alternative but calling in the assistance of Pompey, who was accordingly made sole consul in 52, and succeeded in restoring order to the State. Soon afterwards Pompey became reconciled to the aristocracy, and was now regarded as their acknowledged head. The history of the Civil War which followed is related in the article Caesar. It is only necessary to mention here that after the battle of Pharsalia (B.C. 48) Pompey sailed to Egypt, where he hoped to meet with a favourable reception, since he had been the means of restoring to his kingdom the father of the young Egyptian monarch. The ministers of the latter, however, dreading Caesar's anger if they received Pompey, and likewise Pompey's resentment if they forbade him to land, resolved to release themselves from their difficulties by putting him to death. They accordingly sent out a small boat, took Pompey on board, and rowed for the shore. His wife and friends watched him from the ship, anxious to see in what manner he would be received by the king, who was standing on the edge of the sea with his troops; but just as the boat reached the shore, and Pompey was in the act of rising from his seat in order to step on land, he was stabbed in the back by Septimius, who had formerly been one of his centurions, and was now in the service of the Egyptian monarch. Pompey was killed on the 29th of September, B.C. 48, and had just completed his fifty-eighth year. His head was cut off, and his body, which was thrown out naked on the shore, was buried by his freedman Philippus, who had accompanied him from the ship. The head was brought to Caesar when he arrived in Egypt soon afterwards, but he turned away from the sight, shed tears at the melancholy death of his rival, and put his murderers to death. Pompey's untimely death excites pity; but no one who has well studied the state of parties at the close of the Roman commonwealth can regret his fall. There is abundant evidence to prove that, had Pompey's party gained the mastery, a proscription far more terrible than Sulla 's would have taken place, and Italy and the provinces have been divided as booty among a few profligate and unprincipled nobles. From such horrors the victory of Caesar saved the Roman world. See Merivale, The Roman Triumvirates (London, 1887); Froude, Caesar (London, 1879); Mommsen, Hist. of Rome, vol. iv. (New York, 1877); and Baring Gould, The Tragedy of the Caesars, vol. i. (London, 1892).

Pompey in Wikipedia Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, also known as Pompey /ˈpɒmpi/ or Pompey the Great[1] (Classical Latin abbreviation: CN�POMPEIVS�CN�F�SEX�N�MAGNVS[2]) (September 29, 106 BC � September 29, 48 BC), was a military and political leader of the late Roman Republic. He came from a wealthy Italian provincial background, and established himself in the ranks of Roman nobility by successful leadership in several campaigns. Sulla addressed him by the cognomen Magnus (the Great) and he was awarded three triumphs. Pompey joined his rival Marcus Licinius Crassus and his ally and father-in-law Julius Caesar in the military-political alliance known as the First Triumvirate. After the deaths of Crassus and Julia, Pompey's wife and Caesar's daughter, Pompey and Caesar contended the leadership of the Roman state in a civil war. Pompey sided with the optimates, the conservative and aristocratic majority of the Roman Senate. When Caesar defeated him at the battle of Pharsalus he sought refuge in Egypt, where he was assassinated. His career and defeat are significant in Rome's subsequent transformation from Republic to Principate and Empire...

Pompey the Great in Roman Biography Pompey the Great, [Lat. Pompk'uis Mag'nus ; Fr. PompEe le Grand, po.v'pl' leh gRON,] (Cneius,) a famous Roman general and triumvir, was born on the 30th of September, 106 B.C., in the same year as Cicero. He fought under his father in the Social war, (So, n.C.,) and saved his lather's life when China attempted to assassinate him in 87 B.C. He raised, without a commission, three legions to fight for Sulla against the party of Marius in 83 B.C., and began to display his great military talents in the defeat of a hostile force under Brutus. For this success Sulla saluted him with the title of imperator. He gained another victory over the legates of Carbo in 82 B.C., reduced Numidia in 81, and obtained the honour of a triumph, although he was but a simple eques. In 76 B.C. he obtained command of an army sent to Spain against Sertorius, who defeated Pompey in two battles, but was assassinated in the year 72, soon after which Spain was reduced to subjection. With a high degree of popularity, Pompey returned to Italy in 71 B.C., and was elected consul (with Crassus) for the year 70, although he had not held any of the lower civil offices and was not legally eligible for other reasons. Among the important acts of his administration was the restoration of the power of the tribunes, by which he signalized his defection from the aristocratic party. He remained at Rome inactive during 69 and 68 B.C. In the next year his friends procured the passage of a law by which he was selected to conduct a war against the pirates (who infested the Mediterranean in great numbers) and was invested with irresponsible power for three years. He performed this service with complete success in less than one year, and, it is said, took 20,000 prisoners. The next enterprise to which he was called by his own ambition and the favour of the people was the termination of the Mithridatic war, which had been protracted for years. His claims having been advocated by Cicero in a long oration, (" Pro Lege Manilla,") he superseded Lucullus in 66 B.C. He defeated Mithridatts in Lesser Armenia in the same year, and after that king had escaped to the Crimea, which was difficult of access to the Roman army, Pompey turned southward, and reduced Syria to a Roman province in 64 H.C. After a siege of three months, he captured Jerusalem in 63, and entered the sanctuary of the Temple. Having received intelligence of the death of Mithridates, and having reduced Pontus and Bithynia to subjection, he returned to Italy in 62 B.C., and was received with general enthusiasm. The triumph which he obtained on this occasion was the most brilliant which the Romans had ever witnessed. Offended by the refusal of the senate to sanction his public acts in Asia, he identified himself with the popular party, and formed with Caesar and Crassus a coalition )r triumvirate, (59 B.C.) Pompey, having divorced Mucia his third wife, married Julia, a daughter of Caesar. He made no effort to prevent the banishment of Cicero, but he supported the bill for his restoration, in 57 B.C. His popularity was now on the decline. He had lost the confidence of the senate by his coalition with Caesar, who was his successful rival in respect to the favour of the people. Pompey could only obtain the consulship in 55 B.C. by the aid of Cxsar, with whom he and Crassus had formed another secret treaty or bargain. Anticipating the open hostility of Caesar to his ambitious projects, Pompey renewed his connection with the aristocracy, who accepted him as their leader in 51 B.C. About the end of the next year the friends of Pompey obtained a decree of the senate that Caesar should disband his army. In defiance of this decree, Caesar marched to Rome with a force which Pompey was unable to resist. His self-confidence was such that he had neglected to levy troops, and he was compelled to retreat to Epirus, where he collected, an army. (See CAESAR.) Urged on by the civilians and nobles of his camp, against his own judgment he offered battle to Caesar in the plain of Pharsaliain August, 48 B.C. and was completely defeated. lie escaped by sea, with his wife Cornelia, and sought refuge in Egypt, but was murdered in the act of landing, by order of Theodotus and Achillas, the chief ministers, in September, 48 B.C. His moral character is represented as better than that of the majority of Roman generals in his time. He was deficient in political abilities, and was guided by no fixed principles as a statesman.

Fourteen years ago at the age of four I joined Bolton School, so this remarkable establishment has played a huge part in my life. I think it's because of this that it really hasn't sunk in yet that I won't be going back to the place where I've always felt at home.
Throughout my Bolton School career, I've tried to seize every opportunity that's been offered to me (a difficult task considering we're offered so many!) from School Council to Jazz Band to a World Challenge expedition to India and honestly, I've loved every minute despite the fact that at times I've been extremely busy.
The GCSE years were definitely hectic, but after results day, you really go into the sixth form on a high, ready to tackle anything A Levels throw at you! I have thoroughly enjoyed all of my time at school, but I can say with conviction, that my sixth form years were undoubtedly the best. I found that I became friends with a much larger group of people and in the sixth form the whole year group became noticeably closer, coupled with the mutually respectful relationships with the teachers. This definitely led to a strong feeling of a 'school community'.
Being voted Head Girl was my greatest achievement, and I feel immensely proud to have been at the head of a brilliant team of prefects who I know have led the school fantastically over the year. This last year was the best way imaginable to bring my Bolton School career to a close, and I have genuinely enjoyed every minute of meeting and working with different members of staff, pupils and visitors to the school. My team of prefects have always been happy to help and I believe they too were proud to be role models to younger members of the school and that they have carried out their roles to the best of their ability (no matter how last minute a plan was established!). After events at which the prefects have supported, I have often received notes of thanks congratulating them on what a fantastic job they had carried out and I would relay these messages to the prefects with pride.
I feel I have left Bolton School having achieved everything that I could have hoped for and for this I must thank the teachers who have always been supportive and understanding. The feeling that you can ask the advice of any teacher really is a credit to the school and it is this 'Bolton School Community' that makes it difficult for me to leave and move on. But as I continue my studies at university I am reassuringly reminded of the phrase 'once a Bolton School girl, always a Bolton School girl'.

Mum felt she was living in a video game with snipers following her before diagnosis
The mother stripped off in the school playground at the height of her illness, but now wants to use her experience to help other struggling mums

A new mother was seen breaking down in a school playground before being diagnosed with severe postpartum psychosis and depression, and now wants to raise awareness for other new mums.
Terrified Lacey Faulds, 29, was so unwell she would sprint the school run to avoid 'spies' - leaving her eldest daughter, Gracie, five, struggling to keep up.
Lacey even stripped off in the school playground at the height of her illness as her mental health spiralled out of control.

Unusually, she started to suffer when her baby, Alfie, was already five months old, in August 2019.
The new mum felt she couldn't cope when her tot 'wouldn't stop crying' due to undiagnosed allergies to dairy, soya and egg.
At her wits end, Lacey began leaving it longer and longer to feed Alfie, now two, after feeling nothing helped and he'd 'cry either way'.
But the mum-of-two then feared she was neglecting him and feelings of guilt quickly turned into paranoia.
In just a few days she fell into a severe psychosis during which she became convinced 'snipers from social services' were following her and surrounding her house - trying to take her out.
Lacey, who owns a soap business, said: ''Looking back it seems so unreal but at the time that was my reality.
''Now I can see that of course that wasn't the case, it's like looking back on a movie or a video game, it's so surreal.
''I don't even really remember why I was trying to strip in the playground, it was at the height of my illness, I was just not in my right mind at all.

''But I really thought I was being followed by social services spies and that snipers were trying to take me out - and I blamed my little boy."
She noted how she used to think her son was the product of the devil and struggled to love him, but things changed when her husband intervened and booked an appointment to the GP.
''I literally believed that my baby was the devil.
''He just never stopped crying. It was like he hated me.
''It didn't help that he was an unplanned pregnancy and that my pregnancy and birth were both awful.
''It got to the point where I couldn't face being in the same room as him, I found it impossible to love him.

''It got so bad that I thought about ending it all, thankfully I called my husband in bits who took me straight to the GP.
''I'd been trying to hide how awful I felt, I felt so guilty for hating my son.
''I've been recovering for two years now and finally feel like myself again, but it's been a very long journey.
"Alfie and I have had a chance to bond properly now, it was amazing to feel that rush of natural mother's love for him that had been missing for so long.''
Lacey's ordeal began after Alfie developed food allergies which left him often unsettled.
Unable to sooth him, her undiagnosed postnatal depression worsened – she struggled to cope alone as her husband, David Faulds, 34, an officer in the merchant navy, was often working away.
After two weeks battling with psychosis, during which she ran to and from her daughter's school in terror of social service spies, she finally asked her husband for help.
A GP arranged for Lacey to move into an NHS mother and baby unit, Florence House in Bournemouth. She was there for seven weeks before moving to Mulberry Lodge Mother and Baby Unit, in Winchester.

Doctors told Lacey that her case was quite rare as she developed it so long - five months - after giving birth.
They also explained how rare it is to develop the condition after a second pregnancy- as it most often afflicts first time mothers.
"I spent seven weeks in the unit with Alfie," she explained.
"For a long time I couldn't understand why I was there, I was still so deep in the delusion.
"But after lots of talking therapy and medication I finally started to feel better.
Now, Lacey notes how her bond with Alfie has developed is much better than it was before.
She said: "Alfie and I have a really good bond now, we've still got a little way to go but it's a world away from where we were before.
"He's a such a crazy little boy, he's like a tornado through the house but I wouldn't change him."
During her nine weeks in hospital, Lacey started making soaps – something she's since turned into a business, Soap and Hope.
Through her company she offers peer support to women suffering with postnatal depression or psychosis.
She also shares her story on social media to raise awareness - follow her here.
She explained: "I was in such a dark place and I just want to be able to help other women that might be experiencing something similar.
"Issues like these can be so hard to talk about because they're so horrible and taboo but it's really important we do.
"I felt ashamed and guilty which is why I waited so long to ask for help.
"I feel like I missed out on so much of Alfie being a baby.
"But we're making up for lost time now.'"
Lacey also volunteers with Action for Postpartum Psychosis, a charity which helps women though all stages of the illness.

Research using Client-owned Animals
The RVC undertakes a large number of clinical studies involving veterinary patients who return to the care of their owners at the end of each procedure.
In all cases, owner informed consent is obtained to allow the animal to be involved in research and owners are free to withdraw their animals from the study at any point.
Refusal to allow their animal to be involved in any study does not influence the standard of care offered to the animal.
See below for information on the these types of study.
Treatment of Canine IBD in veterinary medicine
The trial is being undertaken to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a test compound in reducing the clinical signs associated with canine IBD. The test compound has been seen to have some effect on relieving symptoms of IBD in humans and this trial aims to establish whether this can be transferred to canine sufferers. Blood samples and endoscopic biopsies are collected from canine patients with IBD after obtaining written owner consent.
It is hoped that the individual animals receiving the test compounds will benefit in the current clinical trial. If the compounds are proven to be efficacious then all dogs with IBD will benefit in the future. Furthermore, the results of the study will have important clinical implications for the understanding of the pathogenesis of canine IBD. The results may be relevant for the treatment of human IBD, for which the canine disease may be considered a naturally occurring model.
Ultimately, the aim of this work is to advance the treatment of canine IBD in veterinary medicine.
Collection of blood from healthy dogs for control purposes
Blood collected from the neck vein from healthy canine blood donors after written informed consent was granted by their owners was used in a variety of experiments in the lab to investigate cells that regulate the immune response as a part of a research programme into both cancer and autoimmune diseases of pet dogs presenting as veterinary patients.
We hope that such studies will not only identify novel ways of making a diagnosis, thus allowing the most appropriate treatments to be used in individual dogs, but will also yield novel treatments to improve canine welfare on a global scale.
Investigation of the safety and efficacy of SG2000 in dogs with spontaneous malignancies
Client owned dogs were enrolled in a clinical trial investigating the safety and efficacy of a novel anti-cancer drug.
To be enrolled in the study dogs had to have a measurable malignant tumour (diagnosis confirmed by cytology or histopathology) and to have either failed recognised treatment for their cancer, or conventional treatment was not suitable for other reasons.
Informed owner consent was obtained to participate in the study. Patients were monitored carefully for toxicity (recording adverse events) and efficacy via tumour measurements, either made clinically with calipers or typically by CT scans.
Blood samples were collected to study the rate at which the drug was excreted from the body in these clinical patients
Uncovering the Recipe for Diabetic Remission in the Cat
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is an increasingly-common endocrinopathy in both cats and humans, and causes significant morbidity and mortality in pet cats.
See Diabetic Remission Clinic (Case Study).
Equine Laminitis Research
Prospective studies examining tests that predict the likelihood that a pony will develop laminitis in the future are ongoing and we have recruited over 200 ponies to this study through local livery yards.
This is a four year prospective study that involves six monthly visits to the stables.
For more information see Summary of Recent Laminitis Research at the RVC (Case Study).
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) in Cats
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common disease of heart muscle in cats, and is inherited in some pedigree breeds.
In two separate studies we have been screening pedigree cats and Norwegian Forest cats for HCM using ultrasound scanning (echocardiography), a noninvasive test carried out without the need for sedation or anaesthesia.
At the same time we took blood samples to evaluate the use of two commercially available blood tests (NT-proBNP and troponin-I) for the detection of early HCM.
The study was performed under Home Office licence because the analysis of the blood tests was delayed (to allow us to analyse all the samples together), and so the results were not immediately available to the owner and referring vet of each cat.

Hope Solo hammers USWNT head coach Ellis
By Joe Prince-WrightJun 8, 2019, 10:25 AM EDT
Former USWNT star goalkeeper Hope Solo tells it like it is.
The 2015 World Cup winner, now 37, had her contract terminated by U.S. Soccer in 2016 and it appears that she isn't going to lavish praise on head coach Jill Ellis while working as a pundit for the BBC in the UK during the 2019 Women's World Cup.
Speaking on BBC Five Live in the UK, Solo didn't hold back when asked about the USWNT head coach and how the players feel about her.
"Jill is not the leader I wish her to be" Solo said. "She relies heavily on her assistant coaches. She cracks under the pressure quite a bit. But often that doesn't matter because the quality of the players on the U.S. team is superb. It doesn't matter who is coaching us because we will find a way to win. The United States knows how to find a way to win in spite of who the coach is."
Solo did say that she had a really good relationship with the coaching staff towards the end of her time as a national team player, as she could talk with them and get along with them better than the young players on the team.
But with Ellis and the USWNT terminating Solo's contract due to her comments about Sweden after elimination at the 2016 Olympics, there are clearly issues behind-the-scenes.
Following on from Solo's previous disciplinary problems while a member of the USWNT, plus the ongoing lawsuit between several U.S. stars and the federation in their fight for equal pay, there is clearly friction here.
If the U.S. doesn't play well in their opening games at the World Cup this summer, Solo will not sugarcoat her thoughts on the USWNT or Ellis.
