Model 2100 Winterization-antifreeze into system??
I just purchased a 2005 Phoenix Cruiser 2100, and it now resides in Northern Idaho, so I need to winterize it. Is there a way to pump antifreeze into the lines without putting the antifreeze into the main water tank. On my Trail lite trailer, there is a "T" and a valve on the intake line to the water pump, which allows you to turn off flow from the main water tank and pump right from a gallon of antifreeze. Also, are flat screen tvs and DVD players subject to damage at very low temperatures? Should they be removed? On occassion we can get very cold, -15F, not often though. Thanks for any suggestions.
Re: Model 2100 Winterization-antifreeze into system??
I also recently purchased a Phoenix (2551), I am located in Massachusetts when it also gets cold. Phoenix recommended to me to add 2 gal of antifreeze to the water tank and pump thru the system. Flush out in spring. I didn't like that idea so I exposed the water pump system and saw that there is no bypass to add the antifreeze directly to the pump. So I ordered a Camco kit from Amazon for $15 to add the tee and a short hose to add antifreeze directly to the pump and just drain the main tank. Standard 1/2 fititngs from Home Depot could also be rigged up. I also have a small air compressor to blow out the line using the city water fitting to get rid of most of the water and drain the water heater. Just using air by the way would also work without the antifreeze, but I prefer the added safety of antifreeze in the lines and the water pump. In addition I will dump some antifreeze in the Black tank and pump it thru the macerator pump. Close the valve and leave it. I can still use the black tank in the winter as long as the macerator pump stays full he f antifreeze. Just re-add antifreeze after pump out.


As the eldest child, I already had the pressure of getting good grades and playing role model on my shoulders. Being a kid in a strict household didn't leave me any room to sit back and relax. It was a clear message that I was the one my parents would turn to when they had to leave someone in charge.
By the time I was in preschool, I had a reputation for being the responsible and reliable one. Although it was draining at times, I personally liked volunteering to be leader and oftentimes, I was always the one stepping up to get the job or task done. In a group of friends, I was the shoulder to cry on—the strong one. I had good family members and friends who loved and cared for me, but it sometimes it seemed like the list of responsibilities was neverending.
Suddenly, I was everyone's go-to person. It seemed like I was the front line soldier who suffered when things went wrong. Even the simple household chores at home were passed on to me. Being in college, I soon found it difficult to preserve "me time" with everything going on in my life. Even though it was tiring, the physical work was nothing compared to the headspace all the pressure was taking up. I was itching for a release. I was longing for a day or moment when I didn't have to look after anyone, but myself. One day, I got it.
His name was Kyle.* An SD that I genuinely would have found attractive as a partner and friend. As usual, we went on a few Sugar dates and got to know each other. We had an undeniable chemistry and he found my wit and intellect amusing. Eventually, we took it upstairs. The sweet, funny, and insightful Kyle I knew was there. But, with him, something else. A strong, dominant partner charged with energy—electrifying his every move.
It only occurred to me then to provide him with a safe word. There I was, a new Sugar Baby who only had the slightest of ideas about what she was getting into. With mutual trust and respect, our intimate relationship soon gave way to include the use of handcuffs and gentle words.
In a state of sheer bliss, my nerves were on fire, but my mind was completely at peace. I barely recalled his name as I called him using a different title with no hesitation, seeming to come in second nature as I responded to him similarly when he would address me not by name. Much like on a cloud, my mind drifted away from all the looming deadlines and long list of responsibilities. The room was a stage and I was given a role to play—so I played it well. The session did end eventually.
In the aftermath, it was as if someone had flipped the switch back. Smiling with satisfaction, we talked about how wonderful it was, with the slight exhaustion from what we had done creeping into our bones. Contrary to how submissive I had been the whole time, I felt my independent and individual sense of identity intact. Nothing less was taken from me other than the amount of stress and frustration that had been resting on my shoulders for the past few months.
It has been a while since the first time I delved into the world of dominants and submissives. Playing the role of the submissive makes me feel more at ease, somewhat refreshed and rejuvenated. Interacting with a dominant partner who I felt safe and respected with gave me enough headspace and preparation to face the pressure and weight my fast-paced life had.
I cannot stress enough how important it is to read beforehand, to seek advice if needed, and to willingly submit to the "right" dominant partner. For the Sugar Babies who wish to dip their pinky toes into the dominant-submissive field, I'll tell you that the role is not exactly a walk in the park, but your fellow sugar sisters will always be here for you.
Nice little blog Harana. Glad to see you found the power of being a sub. I've turned 2 SB into subs. They never realized what that type of relationship truley meant.
Great blog. Interesting topic. Do SD want or appreciate dominant SB?


Quick, what comes to mind when you hear "Millennial"? It's probably not very complimentary – maybe a dismissive caricature about how youth today are entitled, unrealistic, addicted to technology, or otherwise spoiled?
Well, we're here to update some of your biases, help you see the bigger picture, and give you a few startling reasons why it's important.
Here's the first thing we need to clear up: Millennials have outgrown their stereotype.
Today, in 2018, Millennials are ages 18-37, being born from 1981-2000. Thirty-seven is (no offense meant) nobody's idea of a young adult. Millennials are the largest generation in the U.S. work force. They aren't an "other" anymore. They've become The Man.
Generational stereotypes are nothing new. And when you look at it, even the specifics are surprisingly repetitive.
Generation X (born from about 1965-1980, now ages 34-53) were "the whiny generation" – indecisive, sneering, disaffected slackers.
Baby Boomers (1946-1964, now ages 54-72) were "the Me generation" – self-righteous, spoiled, selfish and disrespectful.
The Silent Generation (1927-1945, now ages 73-91) were addicted to unwholesome entertainment media, willing hostages to advertisers in exchange for amusement and excitement.
Even the GI Generation (1901-1926, who would now be ages 92-117) were only renamed the "Greatest Generation" much later. As young people (the word "teenager" didn't exist yet), they and their crazy new motorcars were obviously moving too fast and upending society as we knew it.
And before them, the Victorians invented the concept of childhood, so one can imagine how convinced their parents were that they were indulgent and ridiculous.
Every one of us has been offended by the condescension of an adult. But that apparently hasn't prevented us from growing up and turning on the condescension for the generations that come after us.
It's easy to see why. It can be hard to take "kids" seriously. It's easy to find youth overly dramatic, lacking perspective, spoiled and coddled. It's easy to believe that we did more, better, with less.
And it's possible that there's some truth in these stereotypes. Ideally, the progress of society and technology improves our lives. That's the point. So, yes, if that's working, then previous generations would have had it harder.
But why does all this matter for pharma marketers?
Hopefully I've shown that this is a normal bias everyone experiences – which should help us take it with a grain of salt. But it's more important than ever for us, specifically, to recognize and suppress that bias.
The information revolution has democratized information not only across cultures, but also across age groups. It's much easier now for any motivated person of any age to find information.
And we need to pay more attention than ever to younger generations. Not only Millennials, but the cohort following them: Generation Z (who are now 18 and younger).
Gen Z care a great deal about their health. They are adept with technology: experts call them "one of the first generations (as a cohort) to be fluent in rapid information gathering." And, in three years' time, they will become "the largest generation of consumers." Already, more than 20% of them have taken a prescription medication in the last 30 days.
That doesn't sound like a group for health marketers to ignore, does it?

TIP! Another great thing to do if you are having trouble sleeping, is to exercise more. Regular exercise helps to stabilize your metabolism and leads to easier sleep.
If your lifestyle is busy and work oriented, you know that getting the right amount of sleep is important! If you're having to deal with insomnia, it's tough to make it from day to day. Keep reading to learn some great advice on how you can cope with insomnia.
TIP! Be sure you're sleeping at regular times if you have an insomnia problem. Your body contains an internal clock, this causes you to feel sleepy at the same hour every day.
Have a regular bedtime ritual if you deal with frequent insomnia. A bedtime ritual will cue your body to settle down and prepare for sleep. After doing this you should get sleepy when you're done with your rituals and that will keep insomnia away for good.
Rub your tummy to calm yourself down. Insomnia is relieved in some people when they get a nice tummy rub. It helps your body relax, and it helps improve your digestion. Insomnia can be cured just by this trick.
Just as kids sleep better because they have a routine at bedtime, you are able to assist yourself in falling asleep and not getting insomnia by having a routine before nighttime. You could take a hot shower or bath, listen to an audio book or music and practice some deep breathing. Do this daily to better your sleep.
TIP! Warm milk helps many people go to sleep, but not everyone likes it or tolerates dairy items. You can also try to drink some herbal tea instead.
Engage in deep breathing exercises while in bed. It can help prepare your body for sleep. This can help you push yourself into a relaxed state so that you can get to sleep. Take deep breaths over and over. Breathe in through your nose and out through the mouth. In just a short time, you'll be drowsy.
TIP! Hot water bottles can help you sleep. The heat from the bottle will help relieve any tension you might have in your body.
Tryptophan is a natural sleep aid found in foods. If you consume foods containing this prior to heading off to bed, you will find that sleep comes easier. Food such as cottage cheese, warm milk, cashews, eggs, and turkey all have tryptophan in them. Remember, though, that your milk must be heated if you want to achieve success. Cold milk doesn't have the same effect.
TIP! If you are not tired, it will be more challenging to sleep. If you are sedentary during the day, try to find chances to move around more.
If you have had insomnia for many nights, think about heading to the doctor. It can be temporary, but it could be something medical that could last months. You should schedule an appointment with your doctor to make sure your insomnia is not caused by a health problem.
TIP! A lot of people think of music, light and TV to be distracting, but think about classical music. A lot of people are soothed to sleep due to classical music.
The room where you sleep should be very dark. There should also not be a lot of noise in the area. Even LED lights on your clock can be problematic. If you have noise going on in your home you should try to rid yourself of it. If it's outside noise that is out of your control, try playing a soothing CD or using some earplugs.
TIP! Check out the bed. Are your sheets comforting? Do you have pillows that give you proper support? What about your mattress? Is it aged or lumpy? If so, then it is time to put some money into new bedding.
Insomnia is a frustrating issue for anyone to put up with. However, you have the power to change your sleeping situation by applying the wisdom of this article. A great night's sleep is something that everyone deserves to achieve.


"It's just like watching Brazil" is a chant composed by fans during the emphatic 1996-97 season when the club won promotion to the Premier League. The colourful and rhythmic Barnsley Samba Band provided the soundtrack. In recognition of the tune, the team wore the Brazil national colours for their away kit during the 2001-02 season.

Biggest Game Of Year…So Far… This Weekend
Molly McAndrews closes in on the ball
The Eagles of American University and the Leopards of Lafayette will clash in the last game of the regular season for both teams in DC on Saturday at 11 am. It will be senior day for the Eagles but no mind..this is for the regular season championship and the right to host in the Patriot League playoffs. Both teams will either be seeded one or two for the November 8th first round of two. Two days later will be the championship, which will decide who will represent the Patriot League in the NCAA tournament in the following week.
The last time the Leopards made the tournament was in 2012 when they beat the Eagles on a penalty stroke in the cold confines of Rappolt Field. This will be Lafayette's 18th game of the season ( not counting pre-season) and American's 16th game. American has arrived here with a 10-5 record and 5-0 in conference play, Lafayette is 11-6 also 5-0 in conference play. The third and fourth team won't be known until after Saturday's games.
The Leopards have played 5 ranked teams and won one ( Monmouth). They lost one to Liberty 5-0 and the played the others to overtime. They also played Fairfield in the preseason. American on the other hand played three ranked teams and lost all of them The largest margin was Delaware in which they lost 0-4. One loss was an overtime game to ODU in a shootout. They lost to Maryland this past tuesday 0-1. So among other factors and those, Lafayette's SOS is 9 places better.
American has scored 40 goals, and Lafayette has scored 39 playing two more games. American's defense has allowed 1.33 goals per game while Lafayette has allowed 1.47.
Penalty corners which could play a role in the outcome is 6 per game for Lafayette against 4 for opponents. American averages 6.5 and opponents 2.6. American's freshman GK Fiona Minter has a 63 percent save percentage, while the Lafayette goal keeper Sarah Park has a 75% save percentage.
Both the Leopards and the Eagles have a diversified attack with the Leopards having six players with 3 or more goals and American has 5 with three or more goals. Molly McAndrews leads the Leopards with 9 goals while Noor Coenen has 14 goals on 73 shots.
Noor Coenen is a big part of Eagle play
Both teams are blessed with intense, committed athletes. Noor Coenen is the clear go to person on the Eagle squad. The Dutch junior can be found all over the field and in the Maryland game made her self known on the defensive side of the field. Senior Lisa van der Geest is the leader and competitive soul of Lafayette. She has a strong stroke and a real danger on both sides of the field. She is the reigning National Defensive Player of the Week, and has scored seven goals for Lafayette.
One interesting stat I discovered while researching this article is that Noor Coenen is the leading accumulator of cards on the team….8 green and two yellow. She is an intense competitor no doubt.
Audrey Sawers meets up with a William and Mary attacker
The team will leave Friday morning to try the new turf at American. Coach Jennings will no doubt try to contain the Lafayette attack hoping to generate offense by interceptions and breakaways. Lafayette will do much the same hoping to occupy the circle and get corners for opportunities to face the American GK.
It seems like a long time since the beginning of the season. Both teams have their share of bumps and bruises, but you can bet if a player can stand up, they will be giving their all on Saturday.
The Leopards have a strong, deep and tested bench which should give them some advantage and no reason to slow down during the game. It'll be all out for both teams!! You all know where my heart is in this one. Home field is a BIG DEAL!!! GO PARDS!

Sawers Delivers To Van der Geest Who Delivers The Winning Goal Against Penn
There was only a minute left and the Lafayette corner defense had just stopped the Penn corner offense at 1:38 left in the game. The Leopards moved the ball quickly downfield and drew a penalty corner of their own with 1:08 left. Anna Steps sends it into play. Sawers eventually gets the ball and gets the Penn goalkeeper to move to her right exposing the left side of the goal. Sawers pushes the ball to Lisa Van der Geest who powers it to the goalkeeper's left for the winner. Penn had one last chance, but the Leopard defense was there to finally end the game.
Lafayette is now 11-6 and the Van der Geest goal along with some outstanding defensive work sealed the 6th shut out of the season….tying the amount set in 2012 the last championship season. The win enabled the Leopards to creep up in the field hockey corner ratings now standing at 28th in the country in RPI.
The game looked like it would be a defensive stalemate. Both teams were coming off good in league wins the previous day. Penn had just defeated Yale 4-2 and the Leopards of course got a win over Bucknell 2-1.
Lafayette had.no penalty corners in the first half to Penn's three. But tide turned as the Leopards earned five corners to Penn's two in the second half. Its not like Penn wasn't trying everything they could to turn the game in their favor. The officials issued 9 cards to Penn to 2 for Lafayette.
Park came through with 4 saves on the game, and the Penn goalie. stoped three of Lafayette's four shots. Penalty corners were even, at five for each team, but Lafayette had their five in the second half while Penn had only 2 in that half.
The bench was well used again, giving many young players valuable time on the field. They performed well especially when Anna Steps had to leave the field due to a minor injury in the first quarter. She returned later in the game. However, getting back to the bench, you can see these players gaining valuable confidence and experience right before playoff time. Coach Stone used 7 players from her bench which means 18 saw action.
Penn is a good team and was ideal competition before the long awaited showdown with American University next Saturday at 11 am for the regular season championship and the right to host the playoffs. American will play number two ranked Maryland on Tuesday. The rest of the playoff field has yet to be decided. Bucknell meets Holy Cross and BU will meet Lehigh. The outcome of those game will decide who plays, the seeding and who stays home!!

Leopards Get Into Playoff Mode Defeating Bucknell 2-1
Mc Andrews goes one on one with Bucknell mid Grace McEvoy
If there was any doubt we are nearing the post season, one need only have been at Rappolt Field this afternoon as the Bison of Bucknell met the Leopards at Lafayette in a hard fought game from beginning to end. The Bison wanted to desperately define their place in the League playoff picture with a win, but the Leopards depth, skill and grittiness was to deliver the win ultimately after sixty minutes of play.
Both sides had every reason to be proud of their effort as the stats for game show how close it was. Bucknell was to have 9 shots today to Lafayette's 10, both goalkeeper had six saves, and Bucknell had the edge in corners 5-3, but it was the Leopards that were to take advantage at key moments in the game and Lafayette's deep bench was to provide the needed play when required.
McAndrews and Sam DiMaio play a little defense
Lafayette's first goal was to come during a corner in the 9th minute of the second period. Corner offense has been a strength of this team mostly behind the stick of Lisa van der Geest. Indeed, it was a Van der Geest strike assisted by Cam Costello and Anna Steps that was to lift the Leopards to a 1-0 half time lead.
The Bucknell defense chases Anna Steps and Tara Hamilton
The second goal was to come at about 6 minutes into the third quarter as the intitial corner strike by Van der Geest was to be turned away by Oliva Harris the fine Bucknell goalie. There was a rebound which again bounced off the pads of the Bison net minder that was handled by sophomore leopard, Molly McAndrew, who launched it into the goal to give Lafayette its second goal of the game.
Steps and Van der Geest guard the circle in the second quarter
Bucknell was not done when Brittany Willwerth gave the Bison fans hope when she found some space to deliver the goal with about 8 minutes to go in the game. However, Sarah Park, Lisa Van der Geest, Sydney Woolston, and Audrey Sawers in the defensive backfield turned back the Bucknell, attack as it seemed to get some momentum. I saw at least one, and maybe two defensive saves by Woolston alone that should have been recorded. However, defense was everyone's job, as the entire team came up big when needed.
Sophie Carr is on the ball!!
For special mention, was the contributions of the bench, Shea Balderson, Hanna Lewis, Eva Kaplan, Jen DeLongis and Sophie Carr stepped up when needed. Van der Geest was off the field for almost 6 minutes being treated, and her teammates manned the breech. Molly McAndrews had a 5 minute card in the second half and her team had her back until she returned. Tara Hamilton played well as a starter today and Felicitas Hannes was all over the field doing what was needed to provide a lift.
The Leopards are now 5-0 in the league and will play an out of conference game against Penn tomorrow, and there will be the ultimate showdown with the other 5-0 team in the league, for the honor to host the Patriot League tournament in two weeks. I have not spent to time to figure out the other participants besides American, but they will be either Boston, Holy Cross or Bucknell. Two will be in and one will be left out after next Saturday.
There were 421 in the stands, a little short of my goal of 750, but no doubt there will be a crowd next Saturday, and during the playoffs the following week. I am rooting for a home game then of course!! Coach Stone has sewn together a very fine winning team that all Leopards can be proud of. However, they are not finished!!!

Lafayette Field Hockey Leads The League In Attendance
Molly McAndrews eludes a VCU defender
Win Tomorrow Would Lock Up Winning Season
The Leopards will be playing Bucknell tomorrow at Rappolt Field at noon. The Leopards currently are 9-6, and a win would give the them 10 wins and a winning season no matter what happens. That is not to say a win would also keep the Leopards in the hunt to host the Patriot League Championship Tournament.
The Field Hockey team's success has come with notice. Our team enjoys very good fan support having 2975 fans attend their home games this fall so far. That is an average of 372 fans a game, that is 165 more fans per game than American, the next closest team in attendance in the league.
Tomorrow is an ideal day to add to that total with the soccer teams being away and football not starting until 3:30. If the Leopards get the win, they will be the FIRST Lafayette team in any sport, with a winning record in five years. I have been watching field hockey for 30 years and this team is good, maybe even very good. They have held ranked to teams to overtime games and in one case beat them. They have overcome injuries, to continue winning and they are well led. And tomorrow will be sunny I am informed. Even if they lose tomorrow they could still host having beaten Richmond while Bucknell and American lost. Lafayette will win the tiebreaker if they beat American next week..
Yes, Lafayette fans, if any team deserves support it is these young women. I do not diminish the difficulty of tomorrow's game, but think what a "12th" team member in the stands could do. So take your car, get the convenient bus to Metzgar and support our Leopards by being in your seat tomorrow!!! I would hope we would see students, administrators, and faculty, join with our loyal parents, and regular fans and give these young women the support they have earned. Anything less would not be supportive of the importance of establishing a winning culture at the school!!
The stands at Rappolt can hold 750, lets fill them up!!!
After that, go back to Fisher and watch our football team make it a two-fer against the Bison tomorrow. Go Pards

In Case You Haven't Noticed We Are Already Into Post Season Games!!
Junior number 20 Fogelsander had an outstanding game against Lehigh last week
As the regular season winds down in the next two weeks, teams are now positioning themselves for their championship tournaments. In the Patriot League, American and Lafayette have already qualified while Bucknell is at 3-1, Holy Cross at 2-2, and Boston University at 1-3 are still vying for the last two spots. Boston really needs to sweep their last two games from HolyCross and Lehigh to get in. Holy Cross could split and get in with a win at Boston and maybe Bucknell. Bucknell could lock up a spot with a win and maybe even host, depending on the outcome of the American/ Lafayette game.As for American and Lafayette, if either team wins their last two games it'll be home field advantage for the playoffs for the winners.
Each of the games this weekend has their own little story. Do not discount a Holy Cross win at Boston. A win by Holy Cross would probably knock Boston out of the playoffs for the first time since joining the league. This is a rivalry game and Holy Cross has an excellent goalkeeper, and has been playing better of late. American probably has the easier task to beat Colgate this Saturday.
Jenn DeLongis stops the ball on a corner struck by Lisa van der Geest
Which brings us to the game Leopard fans are interested in. It is a home game. A win keeps Lafayette in the hunt for home field and the number one seed. A loss would drop Lafayette to a two or three seed with home field going to either American or Bucknell depending on the final week of games. However, if the Leopards lose to Bucknell but beat American and their is 3 way tie at 4-1, Lafayette is the host to due to the Richmond win whom Bucknell and American lost to.
Bucknell games are traditionally close, hotly contested affairs with the Leopards.

Leopards Lose Tough One 3-2 In Overtime
Van der Geest and Steps Score
Molly McAndrews steps in to defend
It looked like the Leopards were to pull out a great win after the third quarter, when Lafayette took a 2-0 lead against a good William and Mary team. At 32:52 senior Lisa van der Geest took a terrific feed from Audrey Sawers to score the first goal of the game during a corner. The second goal was to come with Van der Geest providing the helper to Anna Steps, who put in beautiful redirect with seconds left. The game was being played under difficult conditions of a steady rain.
It was in the fourth quarter that William and Mary really came alive and put tremendous pressure on the Leopards. Two and a half minutes into the last quarter, they found the net to make it 2-1, and with less than 3 minutes to go William and Mary found the tying goal to send the game into overtime. William and Mary were to use the same swarming tactics around the goal, and they ended the game 2 minutes and 16 seconds into the first overtime period.
Reading the stats of the game explained the William and Mary turnaround. As I watched the game I thought most of the contest was battled at midfield. However, William and Mary outshot the Leopards 18-3. All of Lafayette's shots came on corners. During the fourth quarter the visitors were to get multiple consecutive shots on goal, once they entered the attacking circle. They were to outshoot Lafayette 8-0 alone in the fourth quarter. Sarah Park, the Lafayette goal keeper managed to make 10 saves on the day, one of her highest totals of the season. The green and white were schooled to swarm the goal and collect rebounds and shoot again.
Cam Costello looks for a Lafayette teammate during the first quarter
Lafayette played the game on senior day, as the they were feted before and after the contest.
Next up will be Bucknell, at home, next Saturday for an important Patriot League match. The Leopards can guarantee a winning season with another win, and a victory would keep them in the hunt for hosting the Patriot League Tournament.

Six Seniors Making A Huge Impact On Lafayette Field Hockey
With four games to go in the regular season, it seems a little early to talk about our seniors who are playing for Lafayette for the last time this fall. There is more to be accomplished, and goals to be attained, in my view, but this Sunday will be Senior Day when we traditionally honor our seniors. All have been significant contributors over their careers, but I think it is appropriate to put it all in a succinct writing. Again, they are not done yet, and I expect there will be more history to write in the coming weeks.
Sam DiMaio, Cam Costello, Jenn DeLongis, Lisa Van Der Geest, Caroline Turnbull and Sarah Park have all fulfilled the promise they showed, when first announced as recruits 4 and 5 years ago. Each has had a unique contribution on the field, and have learned to overcome obstacles to arrive this year, in what may turn out to be an historic season!!
Number 2 Sam DiMaio
Sam DeMaio will give her all on the field!
Sam arrived as a freshman from West Morris Mendham in New Jersey. She was a starting forward and midfielder in High School scoring 30 goals and 28 assists during her career.in her final two seasons, her high school won the conference championships. She was an all conference and all state selection.
She has been an impact player from her first year on college turf. Her first start was in the season opener against Fairfield her freshman year. She played in 14 games and started one. Her first collegiate goal was October first against Colgate.
Since then she has been a regular fixture on the field for the Maroon and White. In 2017, her sophomore year, she played in all 18 games and started in six, tallying two assists in the win over Drexel, and added a goal and an assist in the 3-2 victory over Colgate. She also had an assist in the Richmond game.
In 2018 she had the game winner against Cornell. She scored four goals on the year.
2019 has been a banner year. So far she has 5 goals, on 16 shots, scoring on 31 per cent of her shots. Even when she is not scoring goals the ubiquitous senior seems to be everywhere I point my camera. She is athletic and intense, and I think the above picture captures it all. ( My favorite picture of all time). Even when she is not scoring goals opposing teams have to respect her speed and athleticism.
Sam was also named to the National and Patriot League honor roll with a 3.5 average in Psychology and Government and Law.
Number 13 Cameron Costello
Cam moves the ball upfield during the Boston game
Cam also, has been a key player for the Leopards from the get go. She has started every game of her career to date. She is a key fixture in the mid-field and can be counted on to make key plays. It is her versatility that make her valuable to the Lafayette team. She seems to know where she and her teammates are at all times. She hails from Doylestown, Pa and played at a relatively small high school, New Hope Solesbury. It was there, she played multiple positions while earning conference championships. She was a captain her senior year. She also played lacrosse and was also a three year letter winner.
She has certainly lived up to her potential at Lafayette. While as a midfielder her whole career, goal scoring was not part of her portfolio, but Cam seemed to come up with key plays at key moments. In 2016, she got the game winner in overtime with Quinnipiac, and had a key assist in the 2017 game with Appalachian State, and in 2018 she got an assist in the game with Lehigh.
Her senior season has been her best so far, getting one goal and two assists. The goal was against then nationally ranked Monmouth, helping the Leopards get the win. Cam has a great attitude and I don't think I ever seen her without a smile…except on the field!!!
Cam is an ace in the classroom as an all Division one honor scholar and a member of the Patriot League honor roll. As of the last accounting she has a 3.68 average in Biology!!
Cam Costello with friends in South Africa during team tour
Number 14 Jenn DeLongis
Jenn DeLongis stops the ball on a corner
Jenn is a midfielder, but more importantly is a total team player. She can move between the defense and offensive side of the field with equal skill. She is a key player in that she is the stopper on corner sets, placing the ball for the striker.
Jenn comes from Hatfield, Pa. Like most excellent athletes, Jenn played dual sports while at North Penn High School. She was a four year letter winner in lacrosse and field hockey!! Aside from earning all conference awards in both sports and captain of her field hockey team, she won the Coaches Award both her junior and senior years. Not surprisingly she was the North Penn Female Outstanding Athlete.
She jumped right into her college career in 2016 making three appearances during her freshman year. In 2017, she appeared in 11 games. Continuing her progress, in 2018 she appeared in all 19 games and started in 5. She was named offensive player of the week in the Patriot League after scoring the game winning goal against Penn. Also that year she led the team in assists.
This year she has scored a goal against Richmond and has been a key figure on the team. She has a 25% shot percentage and always ready to support her teammates. My observation is, she is always ready to support the team in any way she can,
She is no slacker in the classroom as a regular on the Patriot League Honor roll. She has a 3.4 average in her majors of Government and Law and Psychology.
Number 18 Lisa van der Geest
Lisa shows classic power and form
Lisa arrived on the Lafayette campus in 2016 from Oegstgeest, Netherlands after attending Rijnlands Lyceum. She wasted no time in establishing herself as not only a premier player on the Lafayette squad but in the League and Nationally. Her freshman year she was first on the team in assists, second in points and third in goals. She had game winning goals in every year as a Leopard. Her freshman year she was named all league in defense and has not relinquished that moniker all three years so far.
Last year she topped herself by being named an all American. This year, already she has been named to the NFCHA all star game, to be played at the end of the year. She is one of two named to the squad from the league
As I have said previously she is the heart of the team, and as captain leads the team with distinction. She is known to help the younger players with their skills and can be heard on the field directing the action from her center back position. She is by all accounts another coach on the field
This year she has earned several player of the week awards, having already scored 4 goals on the season.
She is extraordinarily accomplished, speaks five languages fluently, and is an outstanding student majoring in international affairs, receiving honors by being recognized in the all Division One honor roll as well as the League Honor Roll. At last accounting is she has a 3.58 average.
As in most team sports the team is built around the middle players. Lisa is the center back and follows a line of outstanding athletes who have played the position for the Leopards. She just may be the best that has ever played at that position at Lafayette!! I hope she has saved a place for all the hardware she will no doubt receive at the end of the season!!
Number 19 Caroline Turnbull
Caroline hails from Harding, N.J. an attended Madison High School. She played midfield and forward during her four years. She scored 54 goals and 38 assists. She is winner, as her team recorded multiple championships at all levels.She played in the 2014 NFC and Junior Olympics for the USAFH team.
She wasted no time at Lafayette by playing in all 19 games her freshman year and having three starts. In 2017 she appeared in every game and started in 12, scoring 3 goals and an assist, including the game winner in the 2-1 victory over Appalachian State. She was also named Defensive Player of the Week during the year. Her break out year was in 2018 starting in 14 games. She was named to the All Patriot League team and all tournament team. She had the game winning goal at Holy Cross.
This year she has scored 3 goals and had 3 assists. The goals were one at Syracuse, one against Holy Cross, and the third at Boston University.
Caroline impresses me as a player that is ready to mix it up near the goal and she can be counted on to be in the middle of a scrum. She is an intense competitor and her intensity is infectious to her teammates. She is well like by her teammates and several consider the funniest player on the team.
Caroline is a Civil-Environmental Engineering major .
Number 87 Sarah Park
Sarah has one of the best attitudes I have ever encountered in a goal keeper. She dares to be a bold optimist, and refuses to concede that anyone can beat her. From the get go, this season, she saw big things for this team, and as goal keeper she has done her part for the Leopards success. She earned the starting GK job her sophomore year. Her first year included needed knee surgery and rehab after that.
Sarah comes from Collegeville, Pa and attended Methacton High School. She was a star goalie in high school and was much sought after her senior year. She was fifth in save percentage within the Philadelphia Field Hockey High School area. In addition she is an excellent student. At Lafayette she is a Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering major with a 3.32 average. She has done summer internships in her field and was named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll.
She has saved the best for last and has been named goalkeeper of the week 3 times so far in the Patriot League. She quick and agile and at the moment sports a 73 percent save percentage, playing against some of the toughest competition in the country. She has had multiple shutouts as well, including a stop against Bryant on a penalty stroke at the end of the game to preserve the shutout.
I firmly believe the best is yet to come for this amazing student athlete!!

In September of 2010, life was the epitome of "normal" for me. My parents were 85 years old and living all of 7 minutes away from my house. They had been there 7 years and it had been a great opportunity for them to spend time with my kids during their teenage years. In fact, my father (a WWII veteran) who had left school early to join the war effort was able to get his high school diploma with my oldest daughter in 2007.
My parents were starting to slow down a little, but based on their age, I thought they were doing really well. My biggest concerns at the time were getting my dad to drive less often as I was getting concerned about his driving; and also setting up a scenario that in the case of an emergency, I would be able to access their bank and help them out. The former wasn't happening, but fortunately the latter did.
If you want to hear what happens next, you will need to join us tomorrow for my FREE teleconference. It will be recorded so you don't even need to be there live. Crisis comes in many forms, and it comes both professionally and personally. This is a personal one that has huge emotional and financial implications. If you're between 40 and 70 years old, you need to hear this. It might be your parents, your spouses parents, or any family or friend in your life. Knowledge is power and my personal experience will provide you guidance and clarity.
The teleconference is free. I hope you will join us.


Before you teach them fetch, before you teach them shake and before you teach them sit, you teach them how to eliminate outside. No matter the age and no matter the breed, all healthy dogs are capable of being trained to go potty outside. Unfortunately, such a task isn't always easy as dog temperaments vary from breed to breed, resulting in a widely skewed teaching time. Even so, there is always one aspect of puppy potty training that remains uniform no matter the dog – patience.
Just like you will rarely be able to do something new correctly the first time, so, too, will your dog need a number of attempts before they understand exactly what you're asking of them. Impatience is a negative emotion that fosters frustration and anger that is typically then turned toward the dog. Instead of helping your dog learn faster, these emotional outbursts teach them anxiety and shame, leading to even worse habits that are much harder to break. Now, instead of a young pup that would have taken only three months to housebreak, you have a young pup that is a year old and eliminates in the house when you're not looking.
Unlike teaching a dog commands, potty training is one of the easiest lessons since dogs innately know to not go potty in their den. Ideally, you'll want to take them outside on a set schedule whether they have to go or not. Typically, a young pup will need to go anywhere from five to 30 minutes following their meal. When you go outside, take them to the same place you take them every day. The scent of their older eliminations will trigger them to go again.
Remember that if your puppy has an accident, they didn't do so on purpose. Puppies do not wake up in the morning with the desire to ruin your rug as vengeance for feeding them the kibble they don't like. It's a very bad idea to associate any form of negativity with a natural bodily function. Staying calm also means your dog won't learn what your trigger is – something they could potentially use against you in future scenarios. Instead, remain neutral and bring them to their outdoor potty spot even if there is nothing left for them to let loose.
As a final note, be sure to clean up the accident area with a cleaning agent that will remove the smell of feces and urine. Dogs in the wild do not live anywhere near areas that smell like feces. Should this smell remain in the house, it will condition them to believe that indoors is a potty area.
So long as you remain patient with your puppy, potty training is a very simple task because it is what the dog wants to naturally do. Stay positive, and they'll be outdoor champs in no time.
Most new puppy owners face a difficult decision when it comes to potty training their pups. Should praise or punishment be the technique of choice for reinforcing positive behavior?
According to a study at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, researchers confirmed that praise works for new puppies learning potty training, while aversive training does not. Veterinary behaviorists surveyed 140 dog owners about their different training methods and their effectiveness as part of the study.
Of those who rubbed their dogs' noses in the house-soiled areas, not one person reported that the technique was beneficial. In fact, 89% stated that it had no effect, and 11% said it actually made matters worse. With these type of findings, any pet owner can see that praise is clearly the more successful route to go in.
Start to incorporate positive reinforcement into your house training program, and talk with your dog trainer or veterinarian about other reward-based techniques to successfully train your dog to do his business out of doors.
Halloween is just around the corner and most kids and parents are probably already getting ready with the costumes, candy, and plans with friends. However, for pet owners, Halloween takes a little extra planning in order to keep the pup safe from even the simplest of things.
One of the biggest dangers during Halloween is the chocolaty treats that are so readily available. Whether it's waiting by the door to get passed out to children or the debris left over from the night before, candy can find its way into your pup's mouth very easily.
Be cautious around youngsters, especially if your pup knows they can show off a little cuteness in order to get treats. Don't let your pup wander around alone, and keep in mind that many adults don't know better either.
Keep all candy, not just the chocolaty stuff, up high in your home. Pups can be sneaky, and there are those that climb just like a cat. So, just because it's up on the counter doesn't mean your pup won't give up trying to get a piece for themselves.
Even your yard can hold on to leftovers long after trick or treating has passed. Be sure to clean up wrappers and scan your yard for any trash before setting your pup loose to potty. Even in small quantities, chocolate will make your pup sick.
While we'd like to believe that everyone enjoys the companionship of a furry friend, there are still strange people out there that aren't going to treat your pup as caringly as you do. Halloween night is highly notorious for animal cruelty, mostly targeted at black cats and dogs (perhaps out of superstition or just plain stupidity). Just to be safe, don't leave your pup unattended, even in your own back yard. There's enough commotion and people walking around trick-or-treating that it's easy for a dog to be puppy-napped.
What about those fast rascals who just want to get outside every time the door opens, even if it's just a crack? If your pup's a runner, be sure they're secured safely in your home, perhaps in a room by themselves where they won't be inclined to make a break for it every time the doorbell rings.
If you're concerned for your dog's safety and anxiety, putting your pup in a quiet, secure place in your home may be the best solution. Just be sure that you give them something to listen to and play with. Make it a party for them, and make sure they have a few treats of their own to enjoy as well.
There are those furry rascals who do enjoy being a part of the team, whether it's answering the door for trick-or-treaters or traveling with the pack and keeping their family safe while out in the neighborhood searching for goodies.
Be careful when choosing the right type of costume for your pups. There are plenty out there on the market, but they don't always make the budget or your pup's "cool" list: not every costume is necessarily dog-friendly. Some hold in too much heat and become burdensome and uncomfortable. While your kids can tell you what isn't working, your pup is either going to run with it anyway or take it off themselves–usually in pieces.
That's another thing to watch out for as well. Depending on the materials and ornaments, a fancy dog-costume can quickly become a toy for them to play with.
Before dressing your pup in anything, make sure that you feel along the inside of the costume before putting it on your pup. Tags, pins, and even obtuse stitching can become a nuisance for your pup very quickly. Choose something simple when in doubt. A bandana or alien antennae will give your pup another personality for the night without getting too expensive or uncomfortable for your pup.
Halloween is fun for everyone, even your pup; whether it's by dressing up, offering the right treats to the right individuals, or being out there trying to find some treats to satisfy your cravings. Just be sure that when you're planning a night of fun and entertainment, include your furry four-legged friends as well.
Please feel free to offer other loving pup owners helpful advice that will keep Halloween fun and safe for everyone.
This has been a much debated question for years. Some say that dogs have no memories (playing catch with their pal) while some say that their pup does remember their past, and even dreams it sometimes.
As research on the subject raises awareness, it can be claimed that dogs do indeed have long-term memory. Like humans though, they don't remember everything. This is because every dog is different. It's like asking someone else to remember that time when you were out on the playground and so and so pushed you on the swing set. That experience may have impacted your life in some way that your brain felt necessary to keep stored away.
In most basic situations, dogs have to remember certain things. Say your pup happens to get a hold of some nasty weeds in the back yard and munches them down thinking they're good. As a consequence, their belly is upset and they learn from the situation. Next time they see that particular weed (or smell it) they'll avoid it. Why? Because they remember that it isn't good for eating. It is a memory, even if it's vague, that this particular plant is not yummy for their tummy.
This is perhaps what leads us to "educate" our four-legged friends. If they can't remember what you've taught them, including the feeling of the experience, we might as well teach our pups the same old tricks every day when they wake up, which isn't the case.
Consider this situation: Your pup knows they're not supposed to loot the trash can for snacks. They don't do it while you're there, or at least while you're not looking. The funny thing is when you do get back home and discover what they've done, what is your pup's first instinct? Most likely, they'll already be asking you to forgive them. They may whine all kinds of excuses, including it was just too good to be thrown away and I thought you said it was okay, but they remember that they're not supposed to dig in the trash.
When it comes down to scientific studies, it has actually been proven that animals also have what is known as spatial memory. This is the reason why rats can run mazes, and why your pup will be a little aggravated when you move the furniture around (Hey, that table isn't supposed to be there!). It's because they possess the memory of what the world around them is supposed to look like, such as visiting a friend's house and knowing exactly where everything is.
Of course, this same scenario can be very stimulating for a dog, like playing a game of hiding treats in new places. Such small changes are creative ways to help exercise their mind as they check all the places you might commonly hide treats – past history locations – and eventually they learn a new place that they'll store away in their memory.
In more advanced scenarios, especially when adopting a pup, some owners wonder if their new friend remembers their previous home or companions. Do they have memories of the past, like playing with an old friend, whether canine, feline, or human? This is far more difficult to prove as a fact, since dogs can only communicate (bark) so much.
Since it is often the feeling, positive or negative, that the dog associates with past scenarios, it makes it difficult to understand whether they are actually recalling a memory (visualizing the scene in their head) or simply the outcome of the situation and how it made them feel.
Take, for instance, dog-on-dog-aggression. This is a growing issue with many pups, especially if they find themselves at the center of an attack early in life. They may never see the dog that attacked or scared them again, but they will often associate the feelings of fear or intimidation with any other dog that physically appears or acts in the same manner.
What about dreams? Dogs do on occasion dream. Whether their paws are pattering the air or they are just woofing out a friendly hello to their pals, it is conceivable that their memories do influence what they dream about. Perhaps they remember chasing a ball through the park and catching a whiff of some strange new friend-candidate who just arrived and is ready to play too. Dreams have to come from somewhere, and what better source to tap than a great day with their best friends.
So comes the ultimate question: Does a dog have memories of its human companions, both present and past? In this case, it is likely that a dog will always remember those that they love and care about forever. After all, being with you is what they've been thinking about all day while you were away.
Might Your Pup be a Rebellious One?
Puppies are adorable and lovable when you first bring them into your home. They listen, study, and follow you wherever you go. They listen to your instructions and often pick up on training surprisingly well. Then things change. That young pup you brought home suddenly decides they are going to do what they want.
Basically, your pup has become a teenager. This normally happens when a pup reaches their six month old mark, and will carry on until around eighteen months to two years, depending on breed. Unbeknownst to many owners, this is a naturally rebellious period in their lifetime, but is commonly misdiagnosed as a behavioral problem, such as tearing things up and not listening to you (sound familiar?).
What every owner needs to know (especially if it's your first time raising a puppy) is that this isn't just a phase they're going through. Sure, they will eventually outgrow it, but what they learn during that time period will affect their behavior for the rest of their doggy lives.
During this time of your dog's life, they will test you – and all others in their family, at every turn. Everything they will do is a test of your authority. If they feel they can get away with doing something like nibbling or ignoring, it will be a habit almost impossible to break later on in life.
One effective strategy you can do with a rebel pup is not to let them have their way. They will test your boundaries, such as grab a snack from unsuspecting hands or go over to the neighbor's yard when they know they're not supposed to. They'll even test you when you're not present, like open up the cabinets and looking for their treats while you're at work.
This brings us to consistency. If you enforce your training or commands only some of the time, then your pup will begin to realize they only need to listen some of the time. For their safety and that of others, it's essential that they listen to you every time.
Take for instance, the simple act of calling them over to you. Your pup looks up but they don't come. In fact, they decide to go right back to playing with their fluffy octopus toy. In this situation, it's easy to simply let it slide because they're obviously enjoying some time to themselves. But during their rebellious age, that simple act can assure them that they only have to listen to you when they think it's favorable for them.
This dog characteristic could basically be summed up as stubbornness. To deal with this means that you have to be more stubborn than they are.
Now this doesn't mean you have to drag them around or play rough when they aren't listening. It means that you have to display that you are the one with the authority. Rather than letting your pup play and ignore you when you're calling them to come inside, it's time to go get them and bring them inside.
To help increase their reactivity to you and your authority, obedience commands should be regularly practiced, even if it's only for ten or fifteen minutes a day. Have them put the ball down because it's not play-time – it's time to listen. By doing this simple act, you let them know when it's time to listen and when they are allowed to play and do what dogs do naturally – play.
Many owners get irritated during this time in a pup's life. Perhaps it's because they don't know what's going on or simply mistake it for behavior issues. It is a behavior situation, but it's nothing you can't work through, as many pet parents will tell you.
So never be discouraged that your pup doesn't listen to you. They are listening, but they're just testing you by rebelling a little. You have to be patient during this process. Indeed it can be extremely frustrating to deal with a "teenage" pup, but that is a part of being a pet-parent.
A well-trained companion is something that has to be worked at. Time must be invested, and patience must be practiced. But as long as you understand what it is that your dog is going through, and you have an idea of what they are thinking (go back to your own adolescent years), you can rest assured that your pup will grow into a well-mannered, highly trained, and extremely happy life-long companion.
Growling and Roughhousing – Is It Something to be Worried About?
Have you ever noticed your dog roughhousing with others? Do they growl and yip when you play tug-o-war? What about other dogs? Perhaps they're a little verbal when they can't catch up with their new friends? Or they go at it with other dogs, rolling and wrestling with them at every opportunity.
The fact is that some dogs are naturally more verbal and play a little rougher than the rest. But, on the other hand, there are dogs that are shy about their play habits, which do raise a little concern for dog owners.
Basically, your dog is just out to have fun. In most cases, they're just playing, like players do in physically intensive games. They shout and play rough too. Dogs are naturally the same way and enjoy a good time. Even when playing with your dog, you might hear a little growling and grunting, especially when they bring you their ball and want to play keep away instead of fetch, growling when you try to take it away. Your dog is simply excited, and in most cases will settle right down upon command.
When should it concern you?
However, there are still dangers to this situation. Because not all dogs like to play rough, you and your roughhousing companion will eventually encounter others that don't like the way your pup plays. When dogs start yelping, it doesn't necessarily mean they're hurt, but it does mean they don't like the way your dog is playing. There are even owners that won't want their dog to partake in the activities, which is something you should consider out of respect.
As a result, not every dog is going to want to play with yours, even if your dog wants to play with them. And there's no reason to put yours or anyone else's dog in that type of situation. Unfortunately, this often means you'll have to work out safe visits to the dog park or other open play areas, where other dogs will get along with their play styles.
But, the real problem with this is that other dogs may have aggression issues. You can't presume to know the intentions of every dog, and it can be difficult to stop aggression once it begins. And in the case of a roughhousing dog, a playful "gruff" may result in a responsive aggressive attack by another dog, which is never a good thing.
Initially, the best precaution is quality training. It's understandable that in a play-situation such as a dog park with countless distractions, it can be difficult to maintain verbal control over your dog. However, it's something you should consistently work towards. If your dog is of the roughhousing nature, introduce them into the crowd while still on their leash. At this time, it's good to practice simple commands, such as sit and stay before they can be allowed off their leash. This helps give you control of the situation, especially if there are other dogs at the area that don't want to play as rough as yours.
You'll be able to spot them out and help navigate your dog away from them; instead of seeking a compatible friend they can play with.
While in a play arena, especially a dog park, always keep an eye on your dog and watch for other dogs approaching your spot. Does your dog know them? Are they familiar? New dogs introduced into the crowd may not enjoy your dog's roughhousing, so be aware of any new pups.
It's also recommended that you keep a chest harness on your dog, which allows you to get them out of sticky situations in a hurry without having to struggle to get their collar. The harness will give you a good hold on your dog without injuring them (the choking action while pulling on a collar) and it's much easier to pick them up, depending on how small they are and how much weight you can lift.
All dogs like to play to some degree, but not all of them want to play rough with others. With a few precautions and proper handling, both you and your dog can find the right friends to play with on a level that's enjoyable and safe for them.
When potty training your pup, it's important to remember that accidents happen.
Much like a small child, your puppy is going to have accidents because of sheer biology. Within 15 to 20 minutes of taking in food or water, their bodies tend to want to eliminate. Sometimes they just can't make it in time or they are still learning how to tell you when they need to go. Whatever the reason, it's still important to remember that any new puppy is going to have accidents. However, it's the way you deal with the accidents that's so important.
If your pup does have an incident, quietly clean it up in a matter-of-fact way. Yelling or punishing the puppy for making an accident may not be the best policy, as it may result in negative behavior. Being supportive and understanding isn't the right option always either, as it may reinforce that having an accident is "okay." Instead, ignore your dog as you do it and walk away with patience. It's going to take a little time.


Great content is important to all marketers and getting the best out of your content is even more important. Social Image found this article by Will Henry will help you reoptimize underperforming content on your site.
Most of us have run into the issue of putting out content that doesn't stick quite the way we wanted to.
It often goes like this: you carefully craft a keyword infused blog post and meticulously spend time tagging it appropriately in order to ensure maximum search engine visibility. Hours, days and even weeks go by, but your view count is low and your engagement is even lower. It's alright today, though. You know how to fine-tune things correctly now so that you can reach your audience effectively.
But, what about your old blogs? They've become something of a graveyard on your company's website, pushed back into the rarely-visited recesses of your blog posts page. Rather than leave them there in silence forever, there are methods you can implement in order to help bring your content back to life.
If you don't have any content linking back to your earlier blog posts, the only way people are ever going to find them is through search engines. This means that the barrier between your readers and your old blogs is the headline.
We all know headlines are important. After all, that's why people click on an article in the first place. But, there is a category of words that you can draw from in order to give your readers the extra nudge they need that compels them to click on your headline.
Words like "dangerous," "exciting," and "unbelievable" get people interested and create a desire to find out more. Words like "unknown" and "strange" accomplish a similar task by presenting a mystery that the visitor can solve by reading the article.
Want to see the rest of the list? You can check it out here.
But, there are also industry-relevant power words that you need to consider. These are typically topics that are either popular or controversial, such as marketing automation or black hat SEO.
People will judge your headline just like they'll judge the way you dress for an interview. If your headline is boring and uncompelling, you might as well be wearing a T-shirt and shorts to a Fortune 500 company.
Google loves new content. In fact, the search engine loves it so much that republishing old blogs can actually benefit your site because Google will see them as brand new creations. Given that your current readers have most likely never read your older content, it will be new to them at this point, so there's no shame in it.
This is also a great strategy to incorporate if your industry happens to be one with frequent changes. If your old content is no longer entirely accurate or relevant, you'll be able to spend a bit of time repurposing it and publish it again with updated information.
Google is also notorious for its algorithm changes that tend to throw everyone off and leave them scrambling to figure out a new SEO formula. If your old blog posts were published under a different algorithm (the last major one was the Panda update of 2015), then your blogs could benefit from being published during the current one.
You don't always have to keep your articles the same if you republish them. In fact, you can get a lot of SEO benefits out of consolidating multiple articles into a single post as long as it is relevant.
Just like Google loves new content, Google also loves long content. On average, longer articles tend to rank higher on Google than shorter content. The main obstacle that many businesses face is the actual creation of long-form blog posts. But, you can easily take two separate blogs and create a post with 1500-2000+ words with little effort on your end.
Since most of the work has already been done, all you'll need to do is format it correctly so that it sounds natural.
Sometimes the reason you initially missed your mark wasn't the fault of Google or poor timing, but rather your keyword choice. People's interests change over time, and what worked in the past won't always work in the future. If some of your posts didn't perform well despite following the formula you set, then you'll need to do some keyword research.
The good news is that you'll most likely only need to make minor changes in order for your content to get a second chance. Regardless of if your old keywords worked or not, it may even be a good idea to repurpose the article with higher-performing keywords in order to be more relevant to your current audience.
It can be discouraging to see low numbers when looking through your site's analytics.
But, you'll be able to boost your old blogs higher and even drive more traffic to your newer posts as long as you optimize them correctly.

The Koralm Tunnel is a railway tunnel that is under construction in Austria under the Koralpe mountain range. It forms one section of the -long Koralm Railway which will link Graz with Klagenfurt.

Once complete, the Koralm Tunnel shall be Austria's longest railway tunnel, possessing a length of  while running at depths of up to  below ground. It comprises a pair of tunnels running in parallel, each capable of carrying a single railway track, which will be linked together every .

History
The Koralm Tunnel is perhaps the most prominent engineering feature of the Koralm Railway, Austria's most southern line. It is intended for this high performance route, which shall possess a maximum speed of 250 km/h wherever economically feasible to do so, to shorten journey times between Vienna and Klagenfurt via Graz by over an hour for an estimated journey time of two hours and 40 minutes. In terms of international traffic, the completion of the line shall better facilitate the movement of rail freight between ports on the Adriatic and Baltic Seas. Numerous regional figures in Styria have promoted the tunnel's construction as helping to address the comparatively limited railway infrastructure of the mountainous region compared with the rest of Austria and that, once in service, the tunnel ought to bring considerable economic benefits and investment to local businesses.

During 1995, the Austrian Government authorised the Austrian Federal Railways to proceed with the planning and designing of the Koralm Railway, including the Koralm Tunnel; in addition to finalising the route selection and legal preparations, extensive environmental surveys were conducted. Prior to the construction process, extensive studies of the local geology were performed; during 2002, the first of a series of test bores, eventually totalling 130 exploratory wells, was driven in the vicinity of the future tunnel. During the 2010s, the Koralm Railway program was the largest project of its nature taking place in the country.

In 2013, work commenced on boring the tunnel. The process of driving the tunnel's twin bores involved in excess of 800 personnel and three tunnel boring machines (TBMs), it was reportedly considered to be a world-first to continuously use a TBM upon hard rock for more than 17km. The excavation involved the removal of six million cubic metres of spoil, of which two-thirds was reused as bulk material for various noise barriers, railway embankments, filter gravel or aggregate in concrete. In addition to the TBMs, traditional drilling and blasting techniques were also employed in places. To limit the ingress of ground water into the tunnel, approximately 132,000 m² of AGRUFLEX tunnel liners were installed along its length. Extensive attention was paid to ensuring adequate drainage throughout its length.

In 2017, completion of the tunnel was anticipated to occur in 2023, while the full extent of the line would be commissioned during the following year. However, during 2018, Transport Minister Norbert Hofer announced that the tunnel's rate of construction had been significantly slowed by challenging geology; ÖBB spokesman Christoph Posch stated that the timetable changes were not attributable to austerity measures but to unpredicted fault zones discovered during the tunneling process. At that point in time, the Koralm Tunnel was expected to be completed by December 2025 and to become operational by 2026. Other regional infrastructure projects have been impacted by the delayed completion of the tunnel, such as the doubling of the railway in the vicinity of Jauntal Bridge.

On 14 August 2018, breakthrough was achieved in the south bore. On 18 June 2020, it was announced that breakthrough had been achieved in the north bore, marking the completion of all tunnelling along the Koralm railway. Accordingly, work transitioned to the fitting-out phase, during which the tunnel is to be furnished with its interior shell along with all equipment and fixtures required for operational use. Furthermore, operational safety features shall be installed along the tunnel's length, such as cross-passages every 500 meters along with a single emergency station positioned at roughly the half way point, which shall have intentionally staggered platforms and a reinforced refuge room with a length of 800 meters.

Special Issue: 2015网络安全与隐私保护研究进展
Abstract: With the wide use of the cloud storage service, user data is not only stored in the cloud, but also shared among multiple users. To ensure the integrity of the shared data in the cloud, the researchers have proposed many public auditing schemes for group shared cloud data. However, the existing schemes just consider that the group users only include a single group manager without considering that multiple group managers may exist in a group simultaneously and the problem of frameability when tracing the real identity of the group user is also not taken into account. The proposed scheme gives the first public auditing security model for a group shared data with multiple managers, and constructs homomorphic authenticable group signature with multiple group managers based on revocable group signature and (t,s) secret sharing scheme, and designs the first public auditing scheme for a group shared data with multiple managers. The proposed scheme not only can achieve multi-levels privacy-preserving abilities like identity privacy, traceability and non-frameability, but also can well support group user revocation and resuming. Moreover, the overhead of the auditing does not grow with the number of the group uses, which ensures the feasibility and the efficiency of the scheme.
Key words: data integrity, public auditing, privacy preserving, non-frameability, homomorphic authenticable

KUALA LUMPUR: The Unity Government affirms that it does not intervene or being selective in its investigations on corruption cases.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said, if there is no investigation on such cases, the people will say the governance is bad and when there is investigation they will regard it as punishing the enemy.
Anwar added, if there are clear facts then action will be taken on those concerned.
"Those involved have saved their wealth abroad such as in Vancouver and Australia. They should not be afraid if they have not betrayed the people.
"I will not be successful if there is no fact upon the cases," he said on TV1 live telecast in "Naratif Khas Bersama Perdana Menteri programme, Friday evening.
The Tambun Member of Parliament also emphasized that the authorities does not only act on small fish but also on big whales where some have been jailed for corruption and abuse of power.
He added, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is now acting harder and stricter on those people who have claimed to be clean but have been otherwise.
"They cannot be defended if they have been found "smuggling" the country's wealth," he said.
Regarding the Bumiputera status under the Unity Government, Anwar said it is more important to defend the rights of the poor Bumiputeras and help them with their education achievements.
Elaborating on this he said, some people highlighted on Bumiputera issues in the election campaigns but when they give contracts to the people they received money or commissions.
By right, Anwar said, they should help the poor Bumiputeras, Indians and the Orang Asli in the rural areas.
The Prime Minister also raised his dissatisfaction on the new economic policy (NEP) that is aimed to help raise the economic status of the Malays and Bumiputeras but in reality is different.
He said, a number of Malay reserve land had been sold and there is no replacements.
"Those responsible should assist the poor as they need help to save their future lives," Anwar reiterated.
Regarding the recent political situation in Sabah and the possibility that the Unity Government will be affected, the prime Minister said, it is unlikely to affect the government as it has the majority support of 148 MPs at the Dewan Rakyat during the vote of confidence on the Prime Minister that was carried out on 19th Dec. 2022.

Is my immigration status at risk given my felony conviction?
On behalf of The Law Offices of Suzanne L Capriotti, LLC | Mar 2, 2018 | deportation and removal defense
While you want to avoid committing any crimes at any point in your life in the United States, it's particularly wise to do so when you're either visiting the country on a visa or are merely a permanent resident.
Committing any criminal offense, whether it be a misdemeanor or felony, during one of these latter stages can result in you having your legal status downgraded or even get you deported. You may even be barred from entering the U.S. again.
Crimes that are considered to involve moral turpitude are those a judge may deem to adversely impact society's moral standards. Perjury, fraud, concealed weapons, tax evasion and child abuse charges are all considered to be moral turpitude offenses.
As far as aggravated felonies are concerned, crimes such as drug trafficking, murder and firearms charges were considered to be some of the only crimes that fit this bill up until 1988. Congress then added other crimes including theft, failing to appear in court, consensual sex between minors, battery and even tax fraud to the list of aggravated offenses.
What will become of your ability to remain here in the U.S. largely depends on your legal status here in the U.S. If you're in the U.S. on a nonimmigrant visa, then the the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) will generally seek to have you removed from the country the moment you rack up two misdemeanors or a single felony.
In contrast, any permanent resident (PR) who commits an aggravated felony may immediately be detained pending deportation. If a PR is ultimately removed from the country then reattemps entry, then he or she can be imprisoned for as long as 20 years for doing so. Even if his or her deportation is not ordered, then a PR may be restricted from ever applying for naturalized citizen status here in the U.S.
Asylees within PR status may only be deported if the crime they commit is deemed to be particularly serious. Refugees, however, can be depoted for most any felony, even if they may face significant danger back in their home countries.
If you've committed a crime in the U.S., whether here on a temporary visa or as a permanent resident, then a Montgomery County attorney can provide assistance in your legal matter.
