Our History — Legacy Hunters & Jumpers Inc.
Shelly Kerron founded Legacy in 1985 at her father's farm in Portland, Oregon, where she specialized in cultivating junior/amateur students and young horses. Concurrently, Shelly campaigned in grand prix competitions around the country on the seasoned olympic mount, Boston Taxi.
Legacy relocated to Whip n' Spur Farm in Wilsonville, Oregon when Shelly became the original rider for renowned horse owners Harry and Mollie Chapman, known for owning olympic horses such as the crowd favorite, Flexible. Shelly continued to campaign on the grand prix circuit and finished in the top ten World Cup West Coast standings in 1989 with her mount, Reno.
In 1990, Shelly opted to move Legacy north to the Seattle area, settling at English Hills in Redmond, where it would remain for the next twenty years. It was also during this time that Shelly produced champion hunter mounts, including the famous conformation hunter, Graphic, and amateur-owner hunter, Folklore. Legacy proudly purchased its own facility, located in Woodinville, in 2013 where it resides today. In 2014, Shelly's younger sister, Elizabeth, joined the Legacy team as a partner, both training and instructing alongside Shelly.
Throughout its existence, Legacy has specialized in developing junior and amateur riders as well as developing young horses. Understanding that it takes talented horses to develop talented riders, Shelly has traveled extensively throughout South America and Europe to find special young horses perfectly suited to the task.
In addition to recruiting top equine talent, Shelly also understands that it takes a village to build champions. Legacy fills its village with human talent deeply committed to providing quality horse care in every detail, from grooming to riding to horse shoeing and veterinary care. It is this commitment to an unyielding standard of quality horse care that most distinguishes Legacy.

Skandies: #9
Picture: Clouds of Sils Maria (84/10)
Director: Quentin Tarantino, The Hateful Eight (96/10)
Actress: Greta Gerwig, Mistress America (132/11)
Actor: Joshua Burge, Buzzard (116/12)
S. Actor: Kurt Russell, The Hateful Eight (86/8)
S. Actress: Kate Winslet, Steve Jobs (98/9)
Screenplay: Charlie Kaufman, Anomalisa (112/10)
Scene: Pasternak, Wild Tales (56/6)
Apologies for the poor quality—it's the only full version I could find with English subtitles.
Tarantino is a two-time Skandie winner for Director, in 2003 (Kill Bill Vol. 1) and 2009 (Inglourious Basterds). He also placed 5th for Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004), 4th for Grindhouse (2007), and 10th for Django Unchained (2012). He did not make the top 20 at all for Jackie Brown, which was not especially beloved at the time of its release.
The last time Winslet made the Skandies list, in 2008, she was in 2nd place for all-time appearances, behind Philip Seymour Hoffman (who still holds the record). Over the past seven years—during which she made Carnage, Contagion, Labor Day, and Divergent—she gradually fell out of the top five, but this 10th nod puts her back in 4th overall, behind Hoffman, Tilda Swinton (13), and Isabelle Huppert (12). The roster:
3. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
8. Titanic (1997)
9. Jude (1996)
9s. Steve Jobs (2015)
10s. Quills (2000)
10. Revolutionary Road (2008)
12. Little Children (2006)
13. Holy Smoke (1999)
16s. Hamlet (1996)
17. Hideous Kinky (1999)
Gerwig previously placed 7th in 2010 for Greenberg, 7th again in 2012 for Damsels in Distress, and 2nd two years ago for Frances Ha. For Russell's history, see #20, as he also placed this year for Bone Tomahawk. Burge is new.
Kaufman is a three-time Skandie winner, for Being John Malkovich (1999) Adaptation. (2002, co-written with his brother Donald Kaufman), and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004). He's also placed 17th for Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (also in 2002) and 2nd for Synecdoche, New York (2008).
Gerwig and Burge - *yes*. As far as I'm concerned, this is why we have Skandies. (Also, I never saw much mention of him, but I've been high on Joe Anderson's performance as the guy who owns the check cashing place in BUZZARD ever since I saw it. Winner of this year's Gary Poulter Award for Most Overlooked Performance by a Complete Unknown.)
Robert Fuller said...
I thought Burge was just awful. But I also thought Joel Potrykus, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Noonan, and Kitana Kiki Rodriguez were awful, so clearly I have a different concept of acting than some of the Skandies voters.
Hmm. Maybe there won't be any Star Wars love after all.
Private Joker said...
I'm with you Robert -- I liked Burge but not enough to give him any points, I guess. But I agree that Ruffalo and Rodriguez were awful. Noonan bothered me, but I feel like he was supposed to. Seems like the voting body, we're scattered a lot when it comes to acting.
Speaking of which, it's odd that Russell placed so much higher for H8 than BT. I'm guessing it's just that H8 was more widely seen (and they're different categories, I suppose). It's hard to believe that you could see both movies and think he gave a better performance in the Tarantino (though I like the film better overall). He has one line reading in BT that wrecked me as much as anything in JAMES WHITE.
Given the nature of Noonan's "role," I'm bewildered that anyone could find his performance actively bad. What do you think he should have done that he didn't? It's like saying "that dude playing the corpse who just laid there without moving was fucking terrible." HE'S A CORPSE. (That's Ed, neither do I understand voting for Noonan as one of the year's best performances. He is vocal wallpaper.)
Your other examples mostly suggest that you dislike over-the-top acting, though every one of those roles save Ruffalo's calls for exactly that.
Not actively bad, I just stuck his name in the list without clarification for brevity's sake. It's more that, like you, I don't understand voting for him.
I don't dislike over-the-top acting, I dislike amateurish acting, which is what I felt Potrykus, Burge, and Rodriguez delivered.
Matthew B. said...
I'm surprised by all the Ruffalo hate. The only moment I found annoying was his little "This is bullshit!" speech, but that seems more the fault of the script.
Victor Morton said...
Being vocal wallpaper is much more of an achievement than it sounds. #YSWIDT?

Founded in 1995, Oleeo is a cloud-based, talent acquisition platform that automates human resources (HR) processes. Built using intelligent automation and machine learning, Oleeo helps companies discover unlimited sourcing potential to attract, engage and hire new employees at scale.
HR departments can attract applicants through recruitment advertising and programmatic retargeting. Prioritized nurturing and relevant content helps engage applicants. Users can then select who to hire based on predictive scoring and prescriptive recommendations that measure skills, cultural fit, offer acceptance probability and probable retention.
The Oleeo platform includes ATS, CRM, event, interview and program management as well as talent mobility. These can be used for campus, early career, intern, apprentice, high-volume, veteran and diversity recruiting.
When I was the Head of Accenture's HR Technology Strategy practice, I would tell my clients that with SaaS it is really about partnership and to focus on the company: the vision, the road-map and the people who will deliver the services.
Founders have a vision focused on delivering exceptional user experiences for recruiters, hiring managers and candidates. The results of this vision is a product that integrates the elements of ATS, TRM and Event Management into a single toolkit that provides a consumer like, friction-less experience.
Many companies are good software companies, but a lot of good software companies fall short is on the delivery of the second "S" in SaaS: "Service".
As head of HR Technology at an investment bank, I implemented the WCN's Emerging Talent product. The level of service and support that I received from WCN during the implementation, the launch and most importantly, post go live - was second to none. At Accenture, I never heard from any of the clients that I worked with that they had a bad experience with WCN's service.
WCN are not just a team of software engineers, they are also recruiting practitioners.
The ever helpful WCN team made introducing a new eRecruitment system a joy!
The ability to manage the Recruitment process from anywhere and know exactly all the statuses of the candidates.
The flexibility to design a system around our processes.
An easy system for users to follow.
The knowledge of the WCN team when building the system and the great suggestions that they made.
The training and help guides available.
The rare occasion when it's unclear whether a candidates problem should be resolved by our Institution or whether it's a technical issue which WCN need to resolve.
Thank you for reviewing WCN, we appreciate your support!
Interface is extremely intuitive and functional for high-volume applicant tracking. Admin interface easy to learn and provides ownership of base level system updates. Well-established training agenda. Leadership and support team are subject matter experts and leaders in their field - international client base brings broad perspective on best practices. True consultants in guiding the build for long-term sustainability.
Would like to see functionality built out to manage internal recruiting contacts that are integral to campus recruiting process, as well as additional onboarding features.
it enabled the entire transformation of the global campus recruiting process in my prior role. We were able to radically transform the reach, efficiency and effectiveness of our recruiting process in ways that would simply have been impossible without the right technology. WCN was that technology.
It's purpose-built for campus recruiting the way no other ATS-type platforms are. It understands the concepts of bulk parallel processing of candidates, resume book production, and recruiting at scale.
WCN provides a good customer service and has been a great partner through a large amount of change.
The software allows us to implement technically complex solutions which helps us navigate the regulatory environment in which we operate.
We cannot configure the system ourselves, while for big changes the depth of knowledge from the development team is necessary. For smaller changes (updating a recruiter list etc.), not being able to quickly do this ourselves and having to navigate pushes lengthens the delivery time.
There are some small functionalities that would be useful for the firm to build out in the system. For example, when you build out a superday in WCN, there is no functionality to pull a resume book in the order of the schedule for each interviewer, thus creating work on the recruiter side manually. These are small nuances that are easily fixed if the firm makes it a priority.
The reporting functionality as it doesn't necessarily give us the details we are looking for. In addition, the speed of the system. In general is tends to run a bit slow.
Being able to tailor a system that met our more complicated recruitment approach and then adapt as this changed over the years.
The ability to do everything in one place - from loading vacancies, setting up interview slots and sending correspondence.
Thank you for reviewing WCN! We appreciate your support.
I used WCN from 2010 to 2011, so my experience may be outdated.
The data that can be pulled from WCN is very useful when creating reports. As someone who worked closely with the WCN development team to implement, I found the WCN team great! They were responsive, helpful and knew not only what their product offered but what the competition were doing, so they had a truly educated sense of the possibilities of their software.
I found some of the views slightly clunky or cumbersome having to go through each page and refreshing to view candidates, but I understand there is a lot of data behind each name/CV so it takes time to load. Since it's been a while when I used the system, there is a good chance it has been improved to flow more easily.
The system has taken a long time to customize and implement. Our team is still in the early stages.
-WCN offers a holistic approaches to events: sign in, contacts, calendar, budget, etc.
-System is not as customizable (e.g. when sending post event emails there is only one option for automated email). We would like to be able to choose which email candidates get depending on the event attended.

San Juan Mayor: Puerto Rican People's Lives 'Aren't on the Radar' for Trump
By Madeleine Aggeler@mmaggeler
Carmen Yulín Cruz. Photo: Carolyn Cole/LA Times via Getty Images
"You can kill people with a bomb and you can kill them with neglect," San Juan mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz told Marie Claire in an impassioned interview published on Wednesday. "And what happened in Puerto Rico is that people were left to die because the government was unable to look at reality, admit what was taking place, and take a different route to make this turn out a different way."
It has been almost a year since Hurricane Maria tore through Puerto Rico, devastating its infrastructure, wiping out its communications, and killing countless of its people. The exact number of lives lost has been in question. Initially, the Puerto Rican government said just 64 people had died as a result of the storm, but after several studies found much, much higher estimates — one Harvard study put the number over 4,600 — the government raised the official death toll to 2,975 on Tuesday.
To Cruz, who has been repeatedly attacked on Twitter by President Trump, many of these deaths could have been prevented were it not for the administration's lackluster response.
The # of deaths 2,975 reinforces the pain inflicted on the people of PR and the violation of our human rights. THEY WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.
— Carmen Yulín Cruz (@CarmenYulinCruz) August 28, 2018
"A couple of weeks after Hurricane Maria hit, I yelled to the world: 'We are dying here! And they are killing us with their bureaucracy and their inefficiency!'" she told Marie Claire. "It was evident when you walked the streets, when you tended to the sick, the neglect that followed: The Trump administration's way of handling the Puerto Rican humanitarian crisis, the lack of a sense of urgency, the lack of respect for human dignity."
Cruz also pointed out that Trump, who spends so much time Twitter, has not tweeted about Puerto Rico since October 2017.
"The President is not involved; our lives, are not on the radar for him," she said.

Five Comments on Britain's EU Settlement
The UK's renegotiation of its EU membership concluded on Friday at the European Council in Brussels. The text of the settlement is contained in the Council conclusions. We also now know that the EU referendum will take place on Thursday 23 June 2016. Some comments on the renegotiation and referendum:
David Cameron EU Statement – Feb 2016, Georgina Coupe (Crown Copyright), CC-BY-NC-ND-2.0
1. This is an historic agreement. It is the first time that a Member State has unilaterally sought (and achieved) a renegotiation of its own terms of EU membership. This process has been entirely centred on the UK. In practice, however, many elements of the deal will impact the other Member States and the EU more generally. More to the point, how long before the next country seeks its own deal? The future of European integration, which inherently depends upon a high degree of policy harmony and/or unity, could be put into question in the months and years ahead.
2. The deal combines symbols and substance. Stating that the EU is a 'multi-currency Union', opting the UK out of 'ever closer union' and reiterating that states are responsible for its own national security are highly symbolic. The new 'red card' on subsidiarity for national parliaments is interesting, but it is unlikely to be used often. Parliaments would need to work together to exercise this right and, for different reasons, they may well not be interested in doing so. The restrictions on the free movement of workers (ie access to in-work benefits) represent a fundamental change in how the EU has functioned. The measures are relatively modest and unlikely to reduce the movement of EU citizens into the UK, which is ostensibly their objective. However, the precedent that non-discrimination on the basis of nationality can be made flexible in this way is a significant concession on the part of the other Member States.
3. Its impact on the campaign will be mixed. The content of the deal may not exert substantial influence on (undecided) voters. Most of it is technical and legalistic. The principles which the agreement is meant to amend are also not particularly well known amongst the UK public. However, that is not to say that the deal is unimportant. The fact of simply having a deal (whatever it contains) plays into the narrative that the EU has been 'reformed' and is therefore now more acceptable. Instrumentalisation of the deal could sway voters one way or the other.
4. The referendum date has broader implications. The decision by the UK government on the June date raises questions about the impact on the devolved institutions and local government. Devolved elections in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and local elections in England and Wales are scheduled for Thursday 5 May 2016. That leaves just under seven weeks (48 days) between the elections and the referendum. It is possible that the campaigns will become conflated with each other. The emergence of 'Europe' as a central issue in the May elections could also alter the dynamics of the respective campaigns. More broadly, the four months between the announcement of the date and the referendum is not a particularly long time to campaign (compared for instance to the Scotland independence referendum), although low-level campaigning and preparation have been ongoing for some time.
5. The vote won't settle the UK's relationship with the EU. The referendum is only one step in a wider process. If the UK votes to stay in the EU, the status quo of membership will continue, as modified by the changes provided for in the settlement. Arguments around EU membership will continue and opponents are likely to seek a second referendum in the future. If the UK votes to leave the EU, years-long discussions will take place to determine the new arrangements for UK-EU relations. This new relationship will presumably need to be legitimised in some way, perhaps through a vote in Parliament or even another referendum. In any case, the debate will continue, at varying intensities, for the foreseeable future. The next four months are likely to be particularly intense indeed.

I agree with the article. Having said that, the main issue that people like you and I are facing is how to successfully "reach" the layman (assuming we both want to bring the EU closer to the general public not only write for EU versed professionals).
The UK population doesn't understand EU legal terminology. We need to illustrate what we say with examples…and hope they understand what we mean. I published an article yesterday attempting to do exactly that (on my website and LinkedIn). Please feel free to comment. We may reach more people if we combine efforts.
At this point, after the Cameron deal, I'm no longer sure whether UK in EU is the way forward (and I'm a pro-EU professional).

ALBUQUERQUE - Fruit production in northern New Mexico will receive a much-needed boost from Ron Walser, the first fruit specialist for New Mexico State University's Cooperative Extension Service to be based in Alcalde.
Walser, who began March 13, will conduct fruit research at the Agricultural Science Center at Alcalde and work with northern New Mexico producers to improve and diversify fruit production.
"This is a critical time for agriculture throughout the north, given the challenges facing water management and the general decline in farming in this area, especially fruit production," said Steve Guldan, center superintendent. "Ron will provide timely assistance to fruit growers and hopefully help the families that are currently in business to stay in business while getting more people interested in fruit farming."
Walser brings more than 30 years of experience to the job, including lengthy stints with Extension in other states and consultancy work for industry.
Walser received a bachelor's degree in horticulture in 1968 from Brigham Young University and a doctorate in crop physiology in 1976 from Utah State. From 1976 to 1980, he worked with Extension at three universities: Kentucky, Texas Tech and Utah. He taught at Brigham Young from 1980 to 1993.
Since 1993, he has worked mostly in the private sector, including five years as a horticulture field agent with two fruit and vegetable growing and processing cooperatives in Chihuahua, Mexico. He was associate Extension agent in Graham County, Ariz., from January 1998 to June 1999. Since then, he has worked as field representative and field manager for Washington-based Windflow Fertilizer Inc. and for Radar Farms Inc., respectively.
Walser said he will focus on helping small northern New Mexico fruit growers make their farms more lucrative.
"Most farms up here are small 1- to 5-acre operations and for them to be sustainable, they must be profitable," he said. "A lot of these folks work their apple orchards and grow other fruit as supplemental income. It needs to become a lot more profitable for them and that's going to be my main focus."
To help growers diversify, Walser plans to test local adaptability of cold-hardy, late blooming stone fruit cultivars, such as peaches, cherries, apricots and plums. He also plans to introduce small fruits such as raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and cold-hardy kiwifruit. All test crops will be grown using certified organic farming practices to help promote organic methods among fruit farmers.
Walser also expects to establish a demonstration under-tree sprinkler irrigation system at the science center to teach local growers to use it. The system uses 40 percent less water than furrow or flood irrigation and helps prevent frost damage because the water gives off heat as it freezes, Walser said.
"Late spring frost is a major problem up here, so this sprinkling system can help a lot with that," Walser said.
Walser is the second specialist hired at Alcalde this year. In January, Alexander "Sam" Fernald became NMSU's first natural resources specialist in Alcalde.
Both positions were created in response to requests from local producers, said Edmund Gomez, executive director of NMSU's Rural Agricultural Improvement and Public Affairs Project, based in Alcalde.
"These are grassroots-driven initiatives," Gomez said. "Producers asked us to hire a fruit specialist to help revive fruit production in the north and a natural resources specialist to assist with resource management. We're accommodating those requests to give producers the support they need."

Flint: 'All clear' for drinking water years away
Jonathan Oosting
Detroit News Lansing Bureau
Flint — Mayor Karen Weaver and the head of Flint's underground pipe replacement program said Tuesday they think it will be more than two years until they can recommend residents drink their tap water without filters.
Weaver and retired Brig. Gen. Michael C. McDaniel told reporters they do not anticipate giving an "all clear" until crews have removed every lead service line in the city, a process they expect to complete by the end of 2019 — if they receive enough funding.
"There have been constant improvements (in water quality), there's no question about that, but I don't consider that an all clear," McDaniel said shortly before his speech at a national water infrastructure conference in Flint.
Lead levels in Flint water dropped below the federal action level of 15 parts per billion in the most recent six-month testing period, with 90 percent of samples testing at 12 ppb from July 1 through the end of 2016.
But McDaniel said he wants to see Flint lead levels consistently test below 10 ppb, a new state standard informally proposed by Gov. Rick Snyder, but not yet considered by Michigan legislators.
"Until we have the service lines replaced, we regain the trust of the residents and the water has been tested for four consecutive quarters and is below the state action level of 10 parts per billion, until then, I recommend continued use of the filters," he said.
Weaver agreed with his assessment.
"It'll take probably the next three years until we're able to replace the estimated 20,000 lead and galvanized pipes," she said in opening remarks at the water conference.
"But I do take heart when I consider that with the proper will and financing, Flint can and will end up with a state of the art drinking water system that once again will earn the residents' trust."
The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality said Monday that February testing showed 90 percent of "Tier 1" sites in Flint testing below 8 ppb. A Tier I site is a home with a lead service line or meets criteria to make it eligible to determine compliance with the federal Lead and Copper Rule.
"We have made tremendous progress, vast progress, in terms of the lead that has been removed from the system," said Robert Kaplan, Region 5 administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency, on Tuesday.
Flint is believed to have some 20,000 underground service lines, many of which were damaged when the city began using harsh Flint River water in April 2014. State regulators failed to require the use of corrosion control chemicals, and the pipes ended up leaching lead into the city water supply.
Nationwide, there may be as many as 10 million underground lead pipes, said Kaplan, calling Flint the "tip of the iceberg" for a larger problem.
"This really shined a light on what's in the ground," Kapland said. "You can count on one hand the communities that have taken this on and addressed it."
A 'dumb and dangerous' rule
The state of Michigan continues to supply Flint residents with free filters and bottled water despite improving tap quality. Snyder has shied away from offering any timeline on an "all clear" for drinking tap water without a filter, saying science alone will dictate the decision.
But in his own keynote address at the national water conference on Tuesday, Snyder continued his critique of the federal Lead and Copper Rule, calling it "dumb and dangerous."
The governor first proposed creating tougher state standards, including a 10 ppb lead action level, in April. He said Tuesday he still plans on "model legislation" being introduced this year.
"The crisis here should not have happened," Snyder told the crowd of water and infrastructure industry experts. "It wasn't right, and it is something that needed to be addressed. Mistakes were made. It was a case of changing the water source, having aging infrastructure and some bad decisions."
The important thing now is to move forward, Snyder said, touting various state efforts to improve not only Flint's water system and public health, but also the local economy.
Aging infrastructure is a national and international issue that must be addressed before more calamities, he said, calling the three-day water conference an early point in that conversation.
He noted a massive sinkhole that opened up in Fraser in January and a boil water advisory issued last week in Detroit.
"They're not just warning signs, they're hurting people today, but they're telling us around the country we have problems we should be doing something about," Snyder said.
Kaplan agreed the federal Lead and Copper Rule is in desperate need of an update. He said the aging rules were a "root cause" of the Flint water crisis.
"It was a rule that had the best of intentions in 1991, and it doesn't fit the current situation in so many different respects. It needs to be overhauled," Kaplan said.
But the more pressing need, Kaplan said, is "shovels in the ground" to replace aging water infrastructure across the country.
Flint pipe replacement gets copper boost
Flint has so far replaced roughly 800 pipes, short of the 1,000 it had hoped to replace in 2017. Old records handwritten on notecards have made the process difficult — crews found copper pipes at roughly 160 homes they had expected lead — as has weather.
"We live in Michigan, and we have winter, which stops us," Weaver told reporters. "Even though it didn't completely shut us down this year because we had a mild winter, it certainly slowed things down. That's the reality of it."
Snyder and state legislators have so far approved roughly $253 million in funding related to the Flint water crisis, including $27 million for lead pipe replacement. Congress has approved another $100 million that Flint is expected to access. The city plans to spend about $40 million of the federal funding on pipe replacement.
But the final price tag for pipe replacement will top $100 million, according to McDaniel, who said Flint does not currently have enough money to complete its three-year plan, even with anticipated federal funding.
"We've got enough money for 2017," he said. "We've got about half the money we need for 2018. We don't have money for 2019."
Weaver announced Tuesday the national Copper Development Association has helped the city acquire nearly 200,000 feet of copper piping to replace services lines, saving the city and state approximately $1 million.
"That's a big help," she said.
Weaver, who has clashed with Snyder over discontinuation of a bill credit program for Flint water customers, thanked the governor for state support he has already approved but urged additional funding for pipe and fixture replacement at Flint homes and water treatment plant updates.
"Flint residents have already paid a price for this man-made disaster," she said.
Flint expects to accelerate its pipe program over the next three years, replacing some 18,000 pipes over that span. The city is set to hire additional crews, McDaniel said, and is also doing "large scale hydro-excavation" to find out what type of pipes a home has before digging up the earth for full replacement.
"We just weren't able to do that as accurately as we wanted because of city records," McDaniel said.

Bloody shrapnel discovered at Monmouth Battlefield; first of its kind
It's the only bloody piece of Revolutionary War canister shot ever found. And it may have been fired by Molly Pitcher.
It's a hexagonal piece of lead, maybe the size of a fingertip. Canister shot, it was called, and the Continental Army used it to shred British lines at the Battle of Monmouth in June of 1778.
When his team of volunteer archaeologists found this and other pieces of ordnance in the ground at Monmouth Battlefield State Park last summer, Dan Sivilich suspected they were not your typical artifacts.
"Two appeared to have fabric impressions on them which suggested they might have hit a uniform," Sivilich said.
He sent them to PaleoResarch Inc. in Colorado for testing. Nine months later his hunch was proven correct — and then some. One of the pieces tested positive for human blood protein.
Carino: Searching for Molly Pitcher at Monmouth Battlefield
"In other words, it hit a soldier," Sivilich said. "This is the only piece of Revolutionary War canister shot ever found that's been positively tested for human blood."
That's not all. Based on where they were discovered, Sivilich believes the pieces probably were fired by Proctor's Pennsylvania artillery. One of its cannon is associated with the legendary heroine Molly Pitcher, whose real name likely was Mary Hays.
"It could have been a round that Molly Pitcher handled," Sivilich said. "We can't say for sure, but it makes for interesting speculation."
Mass graves, musket balls and metal detectors
Sivilich is president of BRAVO, which stands for Battlefield Restoration and Archaeological Volunteer Organization. Longtime member Bill Hermstedt, a South River resident, found the historic piece of canister shot (so-called because the lead or iron balls were packed tightly in a metal canister that exploded coming out of a cannon, spraying a wide swath of shrapnel).
The canister shot in question was fired, Sivilich said, by the Americans into the British 42nd regiment.
"They were trapped in an orchard just outside of Route 522," Sivilich explained. "The American artillery line had them pinned down for a while."
Legend has it that Molly Pitcher was shuttling water to the artillery from a nearby spring when her husband, William Hays, became incapacitated. She took his place at the cannon, so the story goes.
When the smoke cleared, according to accounts from the period, the orchard was strewn with dead and injured British soldiers. The bloody piece of canister shot "may have been sitting underneath a piece of corn stalk," Sivilich said. "We just got lucky."
The blood was not visible. It was microscopic, which is why BRAVO paid a total of $1,225 for the testing of four pieces.
Digging for history at Sandy Hook
Sivilich literally wrote the book on such matters. His "Musket Ball and Small Shot Identification: A Guide," was published by the University of Oklahoma Press and is available via Amazon.com.
So what kind of damage did this bloody lead fragment cause?
"Based on its deformation, it did not appear to hit bone," Sivilich said. "It hit soft tissue, went through the body and obviously ended up in the ground. It could have gone through a thigh, an arm, or it could have been a belly wound. We don't know if it was fatal or not."
The other piece with a fabric impression, he said, did not test positive for human blood. It most likely hit a haversack or carrying bag of a similar ilk.
Sivilich emphasized that BRAVO has permits to dig at Monmouth Battlefield. Random metal detecting is illegal.
As for the historical piece of ammunition, he said, it belongs to the park.
"Hopefully it will be put on display," he said.

START-UPS ARE USUALLY HOTBEDS of innovation. They buzz with an energy and excitement that only fresh ideas and new possibilities can bring. They also are full of risk, which is why many never truly get off the ground. The qualities that entrepreneurial souls bring to their ventures—passion, courage, and tenacity—are not enough to propel them into orbit, or to keep them there. After observing hundreds of start-ups, Amar Bhidé distills his advice in the article "The Questions Every Entrepreneur Must Answer": What are my goals, for myself and for my business? Do I have the right strategy for the trajectory I envision? Can I execute the strategy with the resources I've got? These three questions are critical for helping entrepreneurs analyze their unique situations, prioritize among numerous opportunities and problems, and…
the three roles of great entrepreneurs
Every start-up entrepreneur has an overwhelming amount to get done— the "to dos" are constantly outrunning the "dones." It is easy to get caught up in the day-to-day tasks and forget that running really hard does not necessarily equate with running in the right direction. To paraphrase one of my partners, the good news is that you're making good time; the bad news is that you're lost. To stay focused, early-stage CEOs should remember that a business needs to do just three important things—planning, selling, and executing—and that these tasks require three different mindsets. Some entrepreneurs can excel in all three roles, but the best ones are aware of their strengths and weaknesses— and they build their teams accordingly. The first step is knowing which role your talents match most closely. THE ARCHITECT Big-Picture…
how your leadership has to change as your start-up scales
WHEN IT COMES TO new tricks, sometimes new dogs are just as hard to teach as old ones. At least, that's what I was thinking when I recently sat in on a senior team meeting at a fast-growing, twoyear-old e-commerce company. I winced when Daniel, the 32-year-old CEO, said, "Come on, guys, I need you all to focus more on execution. If we're going to scale successfully at the pace we've laid out, we've got to execute faster and delegate more. I want you pushing hard on your teams. Get them to step up and execute! That's why we've brought Jeff in, to coach all of us on how to motivate the troops." I smiled sheepishly. Really? I thought. That's not what I had in mind. Don't get me wrong—Daniel's intentions…
how decision making evolves as a start-up grows
AS I APPROACH the 10-year anniversary of HubSpot, the marketing and sales software firm of which I'm CEO, I've been reflecting on the decisions I've made—both right and wrong. I've also been considering how my decision-making process evolved as the company moved from an early-stage start-up to a growth-stage scale-up. Understanding my own evolution in decision making and the tools I use today may help spare other scale-up leaders some unwanted headaches. Flip-Flopping Will Cost You In start-up mode, I changed my mind all the time. Most of my decisions didn't affect many people, so I didn't hesitate to change course often. This became problematic in scale-up mode: Every time I changed my mind, it impacted hundreds of employees and typically involved retooling lots of processes and systems. Over time, I learned…
the skills most entrepreneurs lack
ENTREPRENEURS ARE a unique group of people, but they behave in patterns. In fact, my firm's research shows that most serial entrepreneurs exhibit persuasion, leadership, personal accountability, goal orientation, and interpersonal skills. But in that same study, we also discovered a set of skills they do not possess. To rehash our methods, we assessed the personal skills of subjects identified as serial entrepreneurs. Then they were compared with a control group of 17,000. As before, this group was assessed on their mastery of 23 practical, job-related skills. We measured whether skills were well developed, developed, moderately developed, or needed developing. After analyzing the data, we found that most serial entrepreneurs lacked four distinct skills: three statistically significantly and a fourth also noticeably lacking. The statistical significance was derived by comparing the lowestranking…
being an entrepreneur when you're not extroverted
"YOU REALLY hate people," my former boyfriend said to me as we discussed our weekend plans. He, as always, wanted to get groups of friends together. I wanted, in contrast, a night to ourselves. "I don't hate people," I said, angry and sad that we were having this conversation again. "I just don't want to be around them all the time." I'm an ambivert—both an introvert and an extrovert. As an ambivert, I love being social and participating in social activities, but with active pauses for restorative personal time. Most people are ambiverts. For anyone with introverted qualities, the above conversation (or some variation of it) might sound familiar—your desire for alone time, one-on-one time, or a little peace and quiet is met with misunderstanding and often judgment. I don't think the…

New York City is known for being a concrete jungle. Since the city is growing day by day, the need for more building spaces is increasing. A suggested, unusual solution was proposed by New York City's High Line: underground parks.
Looking for alternatives to 'creating public spaces into cities,' a New York based team of engineers and entrepreneurs have started to work in order to reclaim an abandoned underground trolley terminal on the Lower East Side and give New Yorkers a new green space that would utilize solar energy and redistribute it underground.
The project, named The Lowline, expects to use pioneering solar technology in order to re-build the 116-year-old Williamsburg Bridge Trolley Terminal in the Lower East Side of Manhattan that's been used for storage since 1948.
Previously, Gizmag reported that this project was uncovered in the Delancey Underground Project in 2011. From that day forward, more than US$155,000 has been raised to test the solar technology (mostly from private investors). In addition a design was built that provided proof-of-concept.
The engineers are looking forward to using light to help grow plants and trees underground, which practically means getting a subterranean, urban oasis inside the city.
According to Lowline's website, the idea behind Lowline is to not only give New York more green space, but also demonstrate how innovative solar technology can be used to get full-of-green places, where people can relax in and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
In addition to that, the park will host a variety of cultural events, art exhibitions and youth activities. It will also seek to overcome its subterranean limitations to have a rich variety of plants and trees.
Barasch is also the co-founder of the nonprofit Lowline project with designer James Ramsey, a former NASA engineer. The engineers think that this new project will need about five years or pre-planning before construction can begin.
The video below provides more information about the Lowline.

Ant McPartlin and wife Lisa are granted a divorce in just 30 seconds
Picture: Getty
Ant McPartlin and his wife of 11 years have been granted a 'quickie' divorce.
The TV presenter and his former partner Lisa Armstrong were allowed to divorce by a judge at a hearing in London in under 30 seconds.
The 42-year-old presenter, one half of TV duo Ant & dec, confirmed earlier this year that he and Lisa were splitting up.
Judge Alun Jenkins, granted the couple a decree nisi in under 30 seconds on Tuesday morning (October 16).
Last year, Ant entered rehab after dealing with a two-year addiction to painkillers after a knee operation in 2015. In April of this year, he was banned from driving for over 20 months and fined £86,000 for driving while being over twice the legal limit.

In a statement released at the time of the couple's split, a rep said: "In response to the recent speculation in the media, Ant is very sad to announce that, after eleven years, he is ending his marriage to Lisa McPartlin.
"Ant asks for privacy at this difficult time, for both himself, Lisa and their immediate families. No further statement will be made."
The couple married back in 2006, after meeting at a roadshow in Newcastle in the mid-1990s, while Lisa was a member of the pop group Deuce.
Ant is still taking time off from work, with Holly Willoughby stepping in to replace him on this year's I'm a Celebrity with Declan Donnelly.
