Making history! Tallahassee's Tim Craft leads Gardner-Webb into NCAA Tourney for first time
Gardner-Webb (23-11), the No. 16 seed in the South Region, opens against No. 1 seed Virginia (29-3) Friday in Columbia, South Carolina.
Making history! Tallahassee's Tim Craft leads Gardner-Webb into NCAA Tourney for first time Gardner-Webb (23-11), the No. 16 seed in the South Region, opens against No. 1 seed Virginia (29-3) Friday in Columbia, South Carolina. Check out this story on tallahassee.com: https://www.tallahassee.com/story/sports/2019/03/19/tallys-tim-craft-leads-g-w-into-ncaa-tourney/3200042002/
Jim Henry, Tallahassee Democrat Published 3:55 p.m. ET March 19, 2019 | Updated 4:16 p.m. ET March 19, 2019
Tim Craft's journey in basketball included a stopover in baseball.
In fact, Craft – the head coach at Gardner-Webb - might be one of the only coaches in the NCAA Tournament who can say he was part of a College World Series team, too.
The former North Florida Christian and Florida High athlete was a student equipment manager for the Florida Gators baseball team that advanced to the CWS in 1998.
Though Craft had the opportunity to serve as a student manager for the UF men's basketball team under coach Billy Donovan, he remained with baseball since coach Andy Lopez had given him a partial scholarship.
"It was probably a dumb career move, not to work for Billy Donovan, but baseball was such a great experience," Craft said and laughed. "I learned so much from coach Lopez (UF baseball coach at that time) and how to get players to buy in and compete.
"That's so important across all sports."
Craft, 42, is relying on those same principles today.

In his sixth season at Gardner-Webb, located in Boiling Springs, North Carolina, Craft has led the Runnin' Bulldogs into the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. Gardner-Webb (23-11), the No. 16 seed in the South Region, opens against No. 1 seed Virginia (29-3) Friday in Columbia, South Carolina.
The accomplishment represents a celebration for the Craft family and the university.
Craft's parents – Jim and Francis – still live in Tallahassee. Brother Robert, a former player and state-title winning coach at NFC, is the head football coach at North Forsyth High School in Cumming, Georgia, northeast of Atlanta. And sister Emily works for Reformed University Fellowship, a campus ministry organization of the Presbyterian Church in America.
Craft and his wife, Jessica, who attended Leon, have four children. And Craft's associate head coach, Jeremy Luther, is an NFC graduate who was one of the state's most prolific scorers with a 30-point average during his prep career in the early 1990s.
More than 2,000 fans showed for the Bulldogs' Watch Party Sunday night at the Tucker Student Center on campus. Boiling Springs Mayor Bill Ellis congratulated the players and handed them and their coaches a key to the town.
"I don't know who is more excited - Tim, his mother or his sister," Jim Craft said. "Tim fell in love with basketball as a kid. He always knew he wanted to play the game and coach the game. And to see him realize that dream has been a wonderful experience for all of us to share in."

Robert, even though six years younger, still fondly remembers playing alongside Tim and competing in all sports at their Tallahassee home and neighborhood.. As they got older, the pair watched the NCAA Tournament each March and also videotaped the tournament's highlights broadcast.
"I have some great memories of our games. be in it in the backyard playing football or wiffle ball or shooting baskets in the driveway," Robert Craft said. "Our parents toted us around from one game to the next. It's neat that both of us have gone into coaching as a career and a lifestyle."
Craft is just the fourth head coach in Big South Conference history to win at least 15 games in each of his first four seasons. He has knocked off Power 5 teams in Clemson, Nebraska, Purdue and this season Georgia Tech and Wake Forest. Craft previously was an assistant at East Carolina, Auburn and Pensacola State College before being named a head coach for the first time by Gardner-Webb in 2013.
Craft's first job in coaching was as an assistant at Robert F. Munroe Day School in 2000. He attended NFC but transferred his senior season to Florida High, where he started at point guard for the Seminoles under Al Blizzard.
Blizzard's not surprised by Craft's coaching success, saying Craft was a "gym rat who really loved the game and wanted to learn the X's and O's." Former Florida High teammate and two-time World Series champion David Ross is thrilled for his childhood friend.

"You always knew he was gong to do something special in basketball," said Ross, who also was on the UF baseball team when Craft served as its equipment manager. "He's always loved basketball, loved it since I first met him. When you see a friend have national success...everyone is so pumped for him."
Craft and Gardner-Webb know they have their hands full against the Cavaliers, who were eliminated from the ACC Tournament by Florida State.
The Bulldogs, who moved into the Division I ranks 19 years ago, have won 11 of their past 13 games. They won the Big South Conference as the fourth seed. Gardner-Webb leads the conference in field-goal percentage (49.2) and three-point percentage (39.7).
The Bulldogs can also draw confidence from history. Last year, Virginia lost in the opening round to UMBC, which became the first No. 16 seed in 136 tries to win a first-round game. While Craft hasn't had much time to exhale, he also understands the significance of his program's accomplishment.
"As a coach, you are so focused on your team, trying to win the next game, trying to prepare and trying to get better every day," Craft said. "But as you start getting text messages from your former players, people in the community and from players who played here years ago and are now in their 60s and 70s, you get a sense this is bigger than our team. You realize how special this is for our community and our school.
"It's really humbling."

Q: Mongoose array won't sort A mongodb Document contains an array. When retrieved to the front-end with mongoose and graphql, using .sort() on the array throws an error.

Cannot assign to read only property '1' of object '[object Array]'

However, using .sort() on the exact same array (but hard coded this time) works.
What's happening here?!
const c = [ { slug: 'first-element',
    position: 1,
    alphaPos: 'B',
    type: 'heading',
    data: 'first-el B' },
{ slug: 'second-element',
    position: 2,
    alphaPos: 'C',
    type: 'textarea',
    data: 'second-el C' },
{ slug: 'third-element',
    position: 3,
    alphaPos: 'A',
    type: 'textarea',
    data: 'third-el A' },
{ slug: 'third-b-element',
    position: 3,
    alphaPos: 'D',
    type: 'textarea',
    data: 'third-el-22222 D' } ]

    // 'content' is the same as 'c' but it comes from mongoose,
    // it throws an error
    console.log('content ==', content.sort())

    // 'c' is hard coded, no error is thrown
    console.log('content ==', c.sort())

    // console.log(c) and console.log(content) output exactly the same  array

[EDIT: here's the mongo document]
    {
        "_id" : ObjectId("5a801422f1c5437466c5d285"),
        "createdAt" : ISODate("2018-02-11T10:00:02.800Z"),
        "id" : 1,
        "slug" : "interesting-story",
        "creatorId" : 3,
        "title" : "An interesting story",
        "image" : "/images/image1.jpg",
        "description" : "description",
        "content" : [
            {
                "slug" : "first-element",
                "position" : 1,
                "alphaPos" : "B",
                "type" : "heading",
                "data" : "first-el B"
            },
            {
                "slug" : "second-element",
                "position" : 2,
                "alphaPos" : "C",
                "type" : "textarea",
                "data" : "second-el C"
            },
            {
                "slug" : "third-element",
                "position" : 3,
                "alphaPos" : "A",
                "type" : "textarea",
                "data" : "third-el A"
            },
            {
                "slug" : "third-b-element",
                "position" : 3,
                "alphaPos" : "D",
                "type" : "textarea",
                "data" : "third-el-22222 D"
            }
        ],
        "__v" : 0
    }

Here is the schema
const postSchema = new Schema({
    id: { type: Number, required: true, unique: true },
    slug: { type: String, required: true, unique: true },
    creatorId: { type: Number, required: true },
    title: { type: String, required: true },
    image: { type: String, required: false },
    description: { type: String, required: true },
    content: { type: Array, required: false },
    createdAt: { type: Date, default: Date.now },
})

A: Because those are 2 different sorts, depends on what you call sort. If you call it on array ("hardcoded") it uses default sort function https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/sort and if you cant call it on mongodocument object type without writing sort function.
To use mongoose sort you have to apply it while you're building the query
collection.find().sort().then(...)

A: In case someone encounters the same error, I still can't explain it but the array is considered as an object where indexes are the keys...
I'd be interested if someone has an explanation on this behavior (related to graphql? to mongoose? maybe to graphql-type-json package?).
So to sort it, here's what I'm doing (outputs an array).
Object.keys(content).sort(a=>1).reduce((_sortedObj, key) => {
    _sortedObj.push(content[key])
    return _sortedObj
    }, [])

FEATURED | Chinese Construct of Sovereignty by Amrita Jash
Unknown Thursday, November 19, 2015 China , Featured , Greater Asia , Kindle Edit
By Amrita Jash
"Who Rules?" or rather "Who gets What, When and How" are interrogatives that play a very vital role in the understanding of the dynamics of the International System. This attribute is closely related to the concept of 'Sovereignty', which is the constitutive principle of International Relations. In its general understanding, sovereignty is viewed as supreme authority within a territory. It is widely accepted that the principle of sovereignty can be traced back to the 'Peace of Westphalia'[1], which gave birth to the 'Westphalian Sovereignty'. While, Hobbes in his book 'Levithan' conceived sovereignty as being above the law, as absolute, extending to all matters within its territory, unconditionally.
Image Attribute: Globe and China Artwork / Source: fabiusmaximus.com
In this view, the concept of sovereignty is characterized by three main features- a holder of sovereignty possesses authority which provides legitimacy[2], has supremacy and territoriality.[3] Therefore, it is the character of the holder of supreme authority within a territory which is the most important dimension of sovereignty. It is the core elements of sovereignty, that is- territory, recognition, authority and control, which make the nation-states legal, absolute and unitary in the international system. This constitutive principle of the existing international system is also enshrined in the UN Charter which entails political independence and territorial integrity[4], making sovereignty an important international norm that needs to be guided in international relations. Thereby, any kind of intervention is seen as curtailment of sovereignty.
In the words of Kantorowincz, sovereignty can be defined as "a single, unified one, confined within territorial borders, possessing a single set of interests, ruled by an authority that has bundled into a single entity and held supremacy in advocating the interests of the polity. The modern polity is known as the state and the fundamental characteristic of authority within it, sovereignty". While, Stephen Krasner defines sovereignty as "Westphalian" as "institutional arrangement for organizing political life that is based on two principles: territoriality and the exclusion of external actors from the domestic authority structures", thereby, "sovereignty is violated when external actors influence or determine domestic authority structures."
Given this framework of understanding of sovereignty, this paper tries to assess the Chinese construct of sovereignty.
In Chinese terminology, 'Sovereignty' is defined as 'Zhuquan'. In their understanding, the Chinese perceive that an 'independent state' is one which has sovereignty and sovereignty is the supreme power of a state in display of its internal affairs and the independence of a state in external relations. Due to the shadow of the past loss of Chinese sovereignty during the 'century of humiliation' in the hands of foreign invaders, China as a state projects itself as a great advocate of the idea of sovereignty- as an absolute power within the state's territorial borders. This distinct Chinese conception of sovereignty can be attributed to three characteristics- sovereignty bound thinking, sovereignty inviolability and, the emphasis on reciprocity and mutuality (Wenhua: 2008).[5]
It can be said that the Chinese construct of sovereignty is greatly influenced and is embedded in the concept of 'middle-kingdom' that can be called as the 'Sino-centric idea of sovereignty'. There is also an impact of the Confucius concept of 'Son of Heaven' or Tian zi.[6]. It is in this view; China asserts that the People's Republic of China (PRC) is the sole legitimate government of all China, which means that PRC regime is the sole authority against any foreign interference to decide everything in the territories that it claims to be under its rule. This is clearly reflected in Mao's thought as to "Clean up the house before inviting the guests" which clearly identifies PRC as the legitimate ruler of China and refrains all forms of extraterritorialities and "Set up a new Kitchen"- that is Communist Party of China led PRC is the sole representative of the Chinese and not Kuomintang/Nationalist (KMT) led Republic of China (ROC).
With this thinking, China's claims over its core sovereignty issues vis-a-vis Taiwan, Tibet, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and recently, the South China Sea and East China Sea- can be understood in this framework . In these vital issues of territorial claims, China seems to be trying to extend and consolidate its sovereignty rather than protect it by means of consolidating and defending its historical claims. Therefore, sovereignty has become a mandate with which the PRC national rulers are fully authorized to define China's national interests against both external and bottom up internal factors which are involved in the configuration of legitimate power.
What can be argued is that, for China, it is the quest for absolute sovereignty. It is thus, the idea of sovereignty that is fundamental to China's peaceful settlement of disputes, observance of treaties, special privileges and immunities in foreign relations and it is basic to the concepts of non-interference and mutual non-aggression. Therefore, this is what makes the Chinese idea of sovereignty distinct which can be called as 'Sovereignty with Chinese Characteristics'.
Premier Wen Jiabao at the FPPC's[7] celebration in Beijing in 2004 stated:
"Sovereignty is the birthmark of any independent state, the crystallization of its national interests and the best safeguard of it holds dear.….No country has the right to impose its will on others, nor can it undermine or deny other countries sovereignty……China will firmly safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity, tolerating no one to interfere in its internal affairs…"
Therefore, the fact lies in China's staunch attitude towards the idea of sovereignty in the sphere of the international system, which is one of the important characteristics that defines China in world politics.

[1] Peace of Westphalia comprised of three treaties- the Treaty of Osnabruck, the Treaty of Munster and the Treaty of Pyrenees signed between the Holy Roman Emperor and the King of France and their respective Allies on October 24, 1648. It concluded the Thirty Years' War and established the modern concept of sovereign statehood and changed the way nation-states interacted with each other forever. It is also known as the Treaty of Westphalia.
[2] Authority is understood in terms of the right to command and correlatively the right to be obeyed. As R.P. Wolff says, what is important here is the term 'right', which means legitimacy.
[3] Territoriality specifies by what quality citizens are subject to authority- their geographic location within a set of boundaries. It is within a geographic territory that modern sovereigns are supremely authoritative.
[4] In the UN Charter, Article 2(4) prohibits attack o political independence and territorial integrity and Article 2(7) sharply restricts intervention.
[5] Sovereignty bound thinking- is that Chinese officials publicly express their positioning about their right to act in their territory accordingly to what they believe to be necessary. While, 'reciprocity and mutuality' is reflected in the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.
[6] The concept of 'Tian zi' or 'Son of heaven' is based on the principle that 'just as there are not two sons in the sky, so there are not two sons of Heaven on earth'. Therefore, the Emperor is not just the ruler of China but the sovereign of all-under-Heaven.

MIDGET WRESTLING TWIST IN KIN FIGHT
By Zach Haberman
December 31, 2005 | 5:00am
The litigious little person who had her equally diminutive daughter arrested says she'll drop charges against the girl if she leaves Brooklyn – forever.
That's one of the three conditions 3-foot-8 Debra Shea demanded of her 3-foot-6 daughter, Corie Pegues, according to a woman taking care of the teen since she was tossed from her mom's Brighton Beach house earlier this week.
"Leave Brooklyn and never come back," is the message Shea gave Ilene Leewalker to pass on to her little girl, Leewalker told The Post.
Leewalker, whose nephew is dating the 17-year-old Pegues, was stunned by the request.
"That's her daughter. How can she do this?" she asked.
Pegues was arrested on Monday for menacing after smashing up Shea's Banner 3rd Road house – and then later told The Post that her mom paid her to lie to a grand jury earlier this year about being subjected to slights over their small stature by their neighbors.
Shea's live-in boyfriend, David Gonzalez, was also arrested in the Monday incident for allegedly attacking Pegues' boyfriend, James Timmerman, and his cousin, Damien Leewalker, with a metal pipe.
Pegues did not return calls for comment and Shea could not be reached.
Both the teen and her mom's boyfriend had separate court appearances yesterday that were postponed, but Pegues met with prosecutors from the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office to discuss her boasts that she pocketed money for lying about neighbors Joseph and Elizabeth Izzo.
The Izzos pleaded guilty last month to harassing the tiny twosome by chanting "Heigh ho, heighho, it's off to work we go," as well as spray-painting a yellow line and telling them to "follow the yellow brick road."

WE LOVE CLAREMONT
LIFESTYLE BRANDING
Claremont Lincoln University (PRNewsfoto/Claremont Lincoln University)
CLAREMONT, Calif., March 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ HalcyonTV -- Claremont Lincoln University, an online graduate school in Claremont, CA that focuses on civic engagement, social justice, and organizational leadership, announced today that Sean Scott will give the commencement address for its new master's degree graduates on March 31, 2019.
Mr. Scott, the Chief Shoe Maker and one of the original members of TOMS Shoes, has formed a new enterprise in Los Angeles: COMUNITYmade custom shoes. The spelling of the company's name may feel odd until they explain that COMUNITYmade is all about communicating unity (COM+UNITY). The new company draws its mission from inspiration Scott garnered during his experience at TOMS.
"We exist to serve our community," said Scott, "and to help you make a difference, too. I've seen first-hand that consumers not only expect quality products but they also want their purchase to mean something more; they want their purchase to represent their part in a change for the better."
Commencement begins at 11:00 am on Sunday, March 31. All CLU attendees will be wearing COMUNITYmade shoes, courtesy of Mr. Scott. The public can shop and order these beautiful hand-crafted shoes at the COMUNITYmade website. Members of the public are also welcome to attend the commencement, and are requested to RSVP to (909) 667-4400.
For every pair of shoes sold, COMUNITYmade will donate $10 to one of our locally curated charitable organizations as directed by the customer. Customers can designate a local, Los Angeles-based, giving partner to support with their purchase. Choices include organizations working in the arts, education, and fighting homelessness.
In addition to the financial support provided by their customers' shoe purchases, COMUNITYmade works to put the customers in touch with their charity partners to help them remain actively involved, and let them know about upcoming events they can participate in along with other caring community members.
As part of their commitment to serving the local community, COMUNITYmade makes their headquarters available for community events. They have also enacted generous fair labor practices for the highly skilled craftsmen who build their shoes, all of which are custom hand-crafted in Los Angeles.
"This is exactly the type of Civic Engagement that excites our students," said CLU Vice President for Creative Learning and Innovation, Dr. David Carter, "Our founder and benefactor, David Lincoln, bequeathed us a mission to popularize the idea that good ethics is good business. We teach our students ethical management skills that give them an advantage in the 21st Century workplace."
Scott will find a receptive audience for his commencement address to CLU graduates, who have dedicated their studies and careers to building real and lasting social change.

British spies abused their powers to send people birthday cards
Rob Price

British spies have been warned against abusing their powers after individuals have been caught misusing intelligence databases to look up people for their own purposes, newly released documents reveal — including looking up friends addresses to send birthday cards.
Via a legal challenge, Privacy International has obtained a trove of documents relating to how British spy agencies — MI5, MI6, and GCHQ — collect bulk data on British citizens.
(You can view and download the documents here, which were previously reported on by The Guardian.)
In one eye-opening document — an internal newsletter from September 2011 — spies are warned against "crossing the line" and abusing the databases available to them.
"We've seen a few instances recently of individual users crossing the line with their database use for instance, looking up addresses in order to send birthday cards, checking passport details to organise personal travel, checking details of family members for personal reasons," the newsletter says. "Another area of concern is the use of the database as 'convenient' way to check the personal details of colleagues when filling out Service forms on their behalf."
It then includes some do's-and-don't's for people with access to the database. Do ensure you're compliant with the database Code of Practice and "report any accidental viewing to a member of the security team." Don't "share data from the database in a way that is not necessary," or "search for individuals for which you have no business need to do so (eq. public figures, family members)."
It's not clear whether spies have been caught searching for public figures and celebrities, or if this was just a precautionary warning.
The Guardian reports that spies have been disciplined for misusing bulk data before, and that a GCHQ employee was fired last year for "making unauthorised searches."
These kind of abuses aren't limited to the UK intelligence services. Back in 2013, news broke that a US intelligence officer working for the NSA abused his powers for six years to intercept the phone calls of nine women without being discovered. Exiled NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden also warned in 2014 that he saw instances of spies stumbling upon people's intimate nude photos — and sharing them around the office.
The documents obtained by Privacy International also reportedly concede that many of the people whose data is collected by the intelligence services' surveillance programs are "unlikely to be of intelligence or security interest."

TRAC: Cases backlogged in nation's immigration courts reach all time high
Friday, March 12, 2010, By News Staff
According to an analysis of very timely court data by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), pending cases backlogged in the nation's Immigration Courts reached an all time high of 228,421 matters in the first months of fiscal year (FY) 2010. The case backlog was up 23 percent since the end of FY 2008 and 82 percent from 10 years ago.
TRAC is a data gathering, data research and data distribution organization at Syracuse University. The purpose of TRAC is to provide the American people—and institutions of oversight such as Congress, news organizations, public interest groups, businesses, scholars and lawyers—with comprehensive information about staffing, spending and enforcement activities of the federal government.
TRAC's analysis of the data also showed that the average time these pending cases have been waiting in the Immigration Courts of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) inched up to a new high of 439 days. Key to the growing backlogs and wait times is the failure of both the Bush and Obama administrations to fill the judge vacancies on the Immigration Courts, which numbered 48 as of Jan. 12, 2010. The number of vacancies means that one out of six of the judge positions—17 percent of the total—are now unfilled.
TRAC's full report and tables on the Immigration Courts can be viewed at http://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/225/.
Released also with this special report is TRAC's Immigration Court Caseload Tool that, for the first time, gives anyone a way to obtain case backlogs and waiting times in each state, court and hearing location. California led the nation as the state with the largest number of cases pending before the immigration courts—59,451 of them—or about one quarter (26 percent) of the national total. New York, with 16 percent of all such matters, ranked second.
This information is also available by nationality. For the Immigration Court Caseload Tool, visit http://trac.syr.edu/phptools/immigration/court_backlog/.

Amerks, Monroe County Partner for Refresh Recycling Night March 27 against Lehigh Valley
March 19, 2019 - American Hockey League (AHL) - Rochester Americans News Release
(Rochester, NY) - The Rochester Americans and Monroe County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo announced today the return of Refresh Recycling Night on Wednesday, March 27 when the Amerks take on the Lehigh Valley Phantoms 7:05 p.m. at The Blue Cross Arena. For the third straight year, the Amerks have partnered with the Monroe County Department of Environmental Services to promote awareness on proper recycling habits. The game will feature ticket deals and a recycling-themed giveaway.
"Teaming-up with the Amerks is a great way to highlight the importance of recycling, which protects taxpayers and the environment by keeping unnecessary waste out of landfills," said Dinolfo. "Protecting our community's natural resources also helps support our ongoing work to attract more jobs and investment to Monroe County. I thank the Amerks for their partnership, and I invite fans to visit the Ecopark and score free tickets to the game, all while helping us keep our community beautiful!"
Fans attending the March 27 home game will receive a commemorative recycling magnet as a pregame giveaway. Additionally, any fan that brings a recyclable item to the Monroe County Ecopark on one of the following dates will receive a free ticket voucher to the Refresh Recycling Night game:
Wednesday, March 20 between 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Saturday, March 23 between 7:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.
"The Rochester Americans are excited to renew their partnership with Monroe County Executive Dinolfo and her staff in the Department of Environmental Services on this very worthwhile initiative," said Rob Minter, vice president of business operations for the Amerks. "Refresh Recycling Night provides yet another opportunity to not only help raise awareness for improving recycling measures here in our community, but also rewards County residents for doing their part with the chance to attend next Wednesday's Amerks game."
The Ecopark is an innovative partnership between Monroe County and Waste Management. Located at 10 Avion Drive in the town of Chili, the facility is open on Wednesdays from 1:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. For a full list of acceptable items, associated fees and necessary appointments, please visit www.ecoparkmcny.com.

Phononics pioneer probes the untapped powers of sound
(Nanowerk News) For decades, advances in electronics and optics have driven progress in information technology, energy and biomedicine. Now researchers at the University of Arizona are pioneering a new field -- phononics, the science of sound -- with repercussions potentially just as profound.
"If engineers can get acoustic waves to travel in unnatural ways, as they are starting to do with light waves, our world could look and sound radically different," said Pierre Deymier, UA professor and head of materials science and engineering.
Imagine a wall that lets you whisper to a person on the other side but does not let you hear that person. Or a Band-Aid that images tissue through the vibrations it emits. Or a computer that uses phonons, a type of particle that carries sound and heat, to store, transport and process information in ways unimaginable with conventional electronics.
"It may sound like weird science, but I believe it is the wave of the future," Deymier said.
Deymier has received $1.9 million from the National Science Foundation's Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation, or EFRI, program to lead a four-year study on manipulating how sound waves behave ("Non-reciprocal Elastic Wave Propagation in dynamically modulated Photo-elastic media"). His collaborators are UA professor of materials science and engineering Pierre Lucas and Nicholas Boechler, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Washington.

The UA is one of nine U.S. universities to receive 2016 EFRI awards in the area of new light and acoustic wave propagation, or NewLAW. The National Science Foundation announced the awards today.
Breaking the Laws of Waves
In common logic, the concept of reciprocity says that waves, such as electromagnetic, light and acoustic waves, behave the same regardless of their direction of travel. It's a symmetrical process -- unless there's a material barrier that breaks that symmetry.
There often is. Light and sound waves lose energy when encountering a wall, for example, and may attempt to reverse course. The nine NewLAW projects aim to break this symmetry of light and sound waves by making them travel in only one direction. So, when encountering a wall, a sound wave might continue around it, or even be completely absorbed by it.
Other UA researchers, like professor Hao Xin in the department of electrical and computer engineering, have created advanced materials that bend light in unnatural ways to render parts of an object invisible. Similarly, Deymier's research could lead to walls that allow sound to pass more easily in one direction, or objects that remain silent when approaching from one direction.
The Power of Phonons
Most modern technologies are based on manipulation of electrons and photons. Deymier is one of the pioneers in the emerging discipline of phononics, which encompasses many disciplines, including quantum physics and mechanics, materials science engineering and applied mathematics.
He has developed specialized phononic crystals, artificial and elastic structures with unusual acoustic wave propagation capabilities, such as the ability to increase the resolution of ultrasound imaging with super lenses, or to process information with sound-based circuits.
For the new NSF-funded study, he is using advanced material, chalcogenide glass, which has mechanical properties that can be dynamically modulated in space and time to break reciprocity and transmit sound in a single direction.
This line of investigation could ultimately result in a vast array of products with peculiar features that could improve noise abatement, ultrasonic imaging and information processing technologies, Deymier said.
"Imagine a computer whose operation relies on processing information transported by sound through non-reciprocal phononic elements instead of electrical diodes, or a medical ultrasonic imaging device with extraordinary resolution."
"Working with phonons is incredibly exciting," Deymier said. "We're going to change the way people think about sound and are opening an entire new world."

Melfann's domain: Greetings from New York City!
That's us fresh after a shower because 24 hours of flying does make you want to jump into the shower first. As there are 3 of us, we rented a 2-bedroom apartment via Airbnb and it's really nothing much so no point taking photos of it.
However, it's located on the Upper West side (although it's technically still in the Harlem borough) and right next to Central Park so it is quite an ok place to stay. I still would've preferred to have stayed somewhere in mid/down town but alas, those get really expensive.
What's great is that we got a memory foam queen sized bed! Shared it with Joanne. I think that's the main part of the apartment that I really enjoyed.
Typical New York, the apartment was tiny and we had to climb up 5 storeys to get to it! Thank goodness our luggage wasn't dreadfully heavy. Otherwise, it would've been a nightmare. So thrilled to be on holiday and looking forward to meeting some old friends tomorrow!

Pitbull partners with Sound Royalties
Buddy Iahn | December 4, 2018 | Industry News, Rap/Hip Hop News
Sound Royalties advances royalty payments while allowing artists to retain ownership
Rapper Pitbull has partnered with music finance firm Sound Royalties. The company helps artists advance their careers while retaining ownership of their own creative works by advancing royalty payments paid through labels, Sound Exchange, songwriter royalties and performance royalties paid through music publishers and Performing Rights Organizations (PROs) such as ASCAP, BMI and SESAC, and music streaming royalties from Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube.
"Musicians need to know it is possible to get their music to fans without giving up ownership," Pitbull says in a press release. "Alex and his team have developed an innovative solution that empowers artists to have more control in their careers by providing customized funding solutions without sacrificing their copyrights. I believe that long-term success is as much about the business as it is about the music, so partnering with Sound Royalties in their mission is a natural."
Sound Royalties founder Alex Heiche started the company in 2014 to defend the rights of songwriters, producers and artists, while displaying the importance of those in the creative world to be fairly compensated for their work while retaining their music rights and royalties. The company also offers tracking and securing a variety of royalty payments.
"Recognition from a renowned artist such as Pitbull means so much to me on both a personal and professional level," states Heiche. "I got into this business and founded Sound Royalties with the mission of creating better funding options for musicians to enhance their career, rather than siphon away their rights. In addition to his remarkable talent, I've always admired Pitbull's similar commitment to helping fellow creatives grow and succeed."
The company's core business is offering royalty advances of anywhere from $5,000 to $10 million, without having to deal with credit issues, while preserving all rights to the artist's music. To date, Sound Royalties, LLC has worked with a wide range of leading music industry professionals, including Grammy Award winners, platinum recording artists and notable music industry executives in every genre.

You are here: Home1 / Stories2 / Glen Lake Association
Client Glen Lake Association
We love working with nonprofits and the Glen Lake Association is one of the most important in northern Michigan. Glen Lake is a treasure to be treasured and it's located alongside The Most Beautiful Place in America. What's not to love?
Members of the Glen Lake Association include homeowners, biologists, boaters and farmers. The watershed area of Glen Lake is just as important as the lake itself, so education, membership and information need to go beyond the beach.
Result The Glen Lake Guardian program
The Glen Lake Association wanted a coordinated effort to get information out about how to protect the watershed, the lake and the land. The Lawton Gallagher Group worked closely with leadership and members to craft the message, then package it in the best way possible. We designed a logo and built the brand, then started getting the word out.
A direct mail campaign targeted existing members, then we reach out even more. Lawton Gallagher launched a media campaign that resulted in newspaper stories, radio shows and on-location TV interviews. Fliers were distributed throughout Leelanau County and numerous public meetings were organized in various locations at various times. The effort was concentrated in the summer months, when the population in the watershed region is 10 times what it is in the winter — and when the lake is getting the most use.
Throughout the campaign, we also made sure to get the message out about other programs and successes the Glen Lake Association has been responsible for.
A devastating August storm virtually shut down the area. After the initial round of cleanup, the Glen Lake Association leapt into action again, with the help of the Lawton Gallagher Group, and provided advice and information about how to recover from the storm in an eco-friendly and lake-friendly way.
The Lawton Gallagher Group helped with and finalized:
Creation of Glen Lake Guardian program
Gathering information for program
Promoting program through media
Updating website to introduce program
Design of collaterals for program
Event planning and promotion


No longer is domestic violence a family matter that individuals must work out privately. Crimes involving pro football players in the NFL have finally put a well-justified spotlight on domestic violence. Recent incidents have demonstrated that domestic violence does not discriminate. Rather, victims come from diverse social economic backgrounds, race, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation and education.
While domestic violence can take many forms including emotional, financial and physical, there are common denominators that are true regardless of the type of incident. There are numerous ways to protect domestic violence victims but here are five steps that are paramount in a domestic violence safety plan.
Victims have a tendency to question their fear. Did they create the situation? Are they exaggerating the fear they feel? If they ignore it, will the abuse go away? What if staying is better than leaving? Don't question or minimize your feelings-if you are afraid, call the police!
Have a code word or sign that you can use with your children, friends and neighbors that signals there is trouble. Teach the children to contact the police if you are not in a position to do so. Teach the children to go to a neighbor's home to contact the police on your behalf.
Have an extra set of keys to your car and home. Pack a suitcase with extra clothes and special toys for the children. Make sure to request duplicates of important documents like birth certificates, accounts, deed, and insurance papers.
Contact your local domestic violence service agency. The domestic violence service agency acts as an umbrella agency, which can connect you to available services with in your area. Information as to housing, education, legal advice, adult and child counseling, as well as establishing a domestic violence safety plan may be available to name a few. Call SERV at 856-881-3335 for guidance.
Although domestic violence agencies may provide advocates to go with a victim to court, they are not permitted to speak on a victim's behalf, only accompany them. Victims often are not able to speak for themselves because of fear and isolation. Additionally, victims often are not familiar with all the relief that the domestic violence law provides them. Once a Restraining Order is granted, other issues addressed on a temporary basis are attorney fees to be paid by the perpetrator, child support, spousal support, payment of household bills, visitation if appropriate, removal of firearms among other items.
Ironically, the most dangerous time for a domestic violence victim is after he or she has been granted a restraining order. Take the restraining order seriously. Do not secretly meet with the perpetrator or allow them near the premises. Stay away from places the both of you used to frequent and carry the restraining order with you at all times. Speak with the perpetrator though your attorney only and keep your focus on safety! Don't forget, create a domestic violence safety plan and follow the steps to stay alive!
