A fight at a nursery in Pico Rivera ended with one man fatally stabbed and another man seriously injured early Tuesday morning, authorities said.
Detectives were looking for two men seen fleeing the scene after the stabbing.
The coroner's office did not immediately identify the dead man, who was only described as a Latino in his late teens.
Sheriff's Homicide Lt. Charles Calderaro said a fight involving at least four people occurred at a nursery in the 9900 block of La Docena Lane at 1:48 a.m. He didn't know yet what started the dispute or why the victims and suspects were at the nursery.
Deputies checking a call of an assault with a deadly weapon found the two stabbing victims. Coroner's spokeswoman Sarah Ardalani said one man died at the scene at 2:22 a.m.
The other victim had been stabbed in the upper torso, Deputy Trina Schrader said. She added that deputies didn't find the weapon used in the attack.
Calderaro said the wounded man was in serious but stable condition at a hospital.
"He's expected to survive," Calderaro said.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. Anonymous tipster can call Crime Stoppers by at 1-800-222-8477 or use the website lacrimestoppers.org

ASTON VILLA will be given £50million to spend on players in the Championship next season - but the name of their iconic Villa Park ground could change.
Chinese businessman Dr Tony Xia this week bought Villa from American Randy Lerner for £60m.
The deal could rise to £100m if Villa earn immediate promotion back to the Premier League next season and Dr Xia has already begun plans to change the club.
According to the Daily Mirror, Dr Xia will try to get fans on side by promising major investment in the transfer market.
"One of the things we have thought about is using the Lotus Health name to rebrand Villa Park," Xia told the Beijing Times.
"Villa Park is a very historical stadium, so we will not simply and callously destroy a club's history.
"We want to use Villa's history and it's substantial fan base around the world to also promote Lotus Health products and services globally.
"The ideal scenario would be for fans to enjoy Lotus Health products at Lotus Villa Park, it would be a great great advert for both brands."
Despite the hope of fresh cash being pumped into the club, Dr Xia is adamant he won't waste money in his task to get Villa back into the top flight.

This gene encodes a protein that plays a role in cellular survival, embryogenesis, and cellular migration and invasion. Mutations of this gene are associated with different types of cancer (R).
Covered on Genetics Home Reference: nonsyndromic hearing lossFrom NCBI Gene: Hepatocellular carcinomaRenal cell carcinoma, papillary, 1Osteofibrous dysplasiaDeafness, autosomal recessive 97From UniProt: A common allele in the promoter region of the MET shows genetic association with susceptibility to autism in some families. Functional assays indicate a decrease in MET promoter activity and altered binding of specific transcription factor complexes. Renal cell carcinoma papillary (RCCP): A subtype of renal cell carcinoma tending to show a tubulo-papillary architecture formed by numerous, irregular, finger-like projections of connective tissue. Renal cell carcinoma is a heterogeneous group of sporadic or hereditary carcinoma derived from cells of the proximal renal tubular epithelium. [MIM:605074] Defects in MET may be associated with gastric cancer. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC): A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. The major risk factors for HCC are chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, prolonged dietary aflatoxin exposure, alcoholic cirrhosis, and cirrhosis due to other causes. [MIM:114550] MET activating mutations may be involved in the development of a highly malignant, metastatic syndrome known as cancer of unknown primary origin (CUP) or primary occult malignancy. Systemic neoplastic spread is generally a late event in cancer progression. However, in some instances, distant dissemination arises at a very early stage, so that metastases reach clinical relevance before primary lesions. Sometimes, the primary lesions cannot be identified in spite of the progresses in the diagnosis of malignancies. Deafness, autosomal recessive, 97 (DFNB97): A form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss with prelingual onset. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. [MIM:616705] Activation of MET after rearrangement with the TPR gene produces an oncogenic protein.
From NCBI Gene: This gene encodes a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family of proteins and the product of the proto-oncogene MET. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate alpha and beta subunits that are linked via disulfide bonds to form the mature receptor. Further processing of the beta subunit results in the formation of the M10 peptide, which has been shown to reduce lung fibrosis. Binding of its ligand, hepatocyte growth factor, induces dimerization and activation of the receptor, which plays a role in cellular survival, embryogenesis, and cellular migration and invasion. Mutations in this gene are associated with papillary renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and various head and neck cancers. Amplification and overexpression of this gene are also associated with multiple human cancers. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016] From UniProt: Receptor tyrosine kinase that transduces signals from the extracellular matrix into the cytoplasm by binding to hepatocyte growth factor/HGF ligand. Regulates many physiological processes including proliferation, scattering, morphogenesis and survival. Ligand binding at the cell surface induces autophosphorylation of MET on its intracellular domain that provides docking sites for downstream signaling molecules. Following activation by ligand, interacts with the PI3-kinase subunit PIK3R1, PLCG1, SRC, GRB2, STAT3 or the adapter GAB1. Recruitment of these downstream effectors by MET leads to the activation of several signaling cascades including the RAS-ERK, PI3 kinase-AKT, or PLCgamma-PKC. The RAS-ERK activation is associated with the morphogenetic effects while PI3K/AKT coordinates prosurvival effects. During embryonic development, MET signaling plays a role in gastrulation, development and migration of muscles and neuronal precursors, angiogenesis and kidney formation. In adults, participates in wound healing as well as organ regeneration and tissue remodeling. Promotes also differentiation and proliferation of hematopoietic cells. Acts as a receptor for Listeria internalin inlB, mediating entry of the pathogen into cells.
Expressed in normal hepatocytes as well as in epithelial cells lining the stomach, the small and the large intestine. Found also in basal keratinocytes of esophagus and skin. High levels are found in liver, gastrointestinal tract, thyroid and kidney. Also present in the brain. Expressed in metaphyseal bone (at protein level) (PubMed:26637977).
In its inactive state, the C-terminal tail interacts with the catalytic domain and inhibits the kinase activity. Upon ligand binding, the C-terminal tail is displaced and becomes phosphorylated, thus increasing the kinase activity.

Yankees made no secret of their Gerrit Cole obsession, and that passion paid off
Written By Ryan Fagan
@ryanfagan
SAN DIEGO — When team officials speak at the Winter Meetings, bets are typically hedged, positions are intentionally obscured and emotions are almost always tempered, at least in public interviews with the media.
But Yankees manager Aaron Boone, speaking with mostly New York reporters at his availability Tuesday afternoon, about five hours before news broke of Gerrit Cole's massive nine-year, $324 million deal, made no real attempt to hide his — and his franchise's — immense desire to convince the free-agent right-hander come to New York City.
"I feel like he's just, obviously, he's a special talent and a special pitcher," said Boone, wearing his light blue sport coat, dark jeans and crisp, white Air Force 1s. "This is a guy that's really hungry, really driven. Again, he understands who he is, and I don't think whether — wherever he takes up residence he's going to be a great pitcher."
He paused, for just a moment. "Hopefully it's in the Bronx."
Seriously, listen to Boone talk about meeting with Cole. There's want in that voice.

Boone stopped short of publicly begging Cole to join his team, of course, and he said all the right things about the pitchers who were already on the roster.
But Boone and the rest of the Yankees knew the truth: For as good as their offense has been the past few years, and as good as it should be in 2020 if everyone's healthy, the lack of an elite ace atop the rotation was going to put them behind other teams in October. Teams tend to get a little anxious after a couple years of barely missing out on success — in the past three years, they've reached the ALCS twice and won at least 100 games twice (they did both in 2019). That kind of disappointment sticks.
Brian Cashman, the longtime front-office guru for the Yankees, understood the dire need too, of course. And he had no intention of waiting around to land his guy, as had become the custom of the past few offseasons.
The Yankees went after Cole on all fronts, flying a rather large contingent to California to visit with the pitcher and convince him of their interest. Heck, even Andy Pettitte, the Yankees lefty hurler who was a star during Cole's formative years as a Yankees fan, was part of the group.
"Man, I wanted him there," Boone said. "I think, in Gerrit's case, obviously as a Yankee fan, we knew one of his favorite players growing up was Andy Pettitte. We've all got to see the impact Andy has had in our organization not only as a great ex-Yankee, but also even now as his role has continued to grow, his effect with players, his ability to relate and talk and have a positive impact on players is something that I've got to witness here these last couple years. I think him being there as a fellow great pitcher I knew would be valuable, and I'm confident it was incredibly valuable."
The pitch seems to have to worked, though the nine years and $324 million offered certainly did most of the heavy lifting.
And now the Yankees have their guy. Cole jumps atop a rotation that includes Masahiro Tanaka, James Paxton and Luis Severino. The bullpen has established closers, plural, and live arms aplenty. The offense has Aaron Judge, Gleyber Torres, Giancarlo Stanton, D.J. LeMahieu and Gary Sanchez, among others.
This was already a team that could have competed for the World Series. Now, though? It's a team that just might be World Series favorites.

Preview: A close look at Yoshi's Woolly World
Freelance Editor
For years the Yoshi series has been trying to make a successor to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, but Nintendo hasn't made a game that is as good. Yoshi's Story got rid of the aggravating Baby Mario, but used too many gameplay methods to the point where some people thought of it as a pain to play.
Yoshi's Island DS and Yoshi's New Island attempted to recreate the magic and joy that Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island had, but had Baby Mario make a comeback, and along with the gameplay, it made for an overall 'ok' experience and left fans wanting something to fill the original's ingenuity and charm. Could Yoshi's Woolly World be the game we've been waiting for?
The most obvious thing about this Yoshi game is that it has a somewhat unique art style. Everything in the world is made out of wool, except for some elements and harder enemies. Many of the smaller, standard enemies are veterans of the Yoshi series, with enemies such as Lakitu, Shy Guy, Gusty, and Nipper Plant; Each and every one of them have been rendered to reflect the artistic style whilst retaining the look we've come to know and love. The game is bursting with with detail and color. The style greatly resembles the Wii title, Kirby's Epic Yarn.
Everyone who plays the game will most likely be overjoyed with Baby Marios absence. Instead, Yoshi has a more standard health bar and can recover health by collecting hearts that have a resemblance to the jumping star collectibles that are in previous Yoshi games. Surprisingly, Yoshi doesn't swallows enemies and turn them into eggs. In this game he unravels them and turns them into balls of wool.
This adds so much more to the game. The mechanic works like eggs, except can be used to bind larger enemies made of materials other than wool, create warp pipes, boxes, platforms, and many other parts of the world to help Yoshi achieve his goal.
Another gameplay mechanic is that Yoshi has the ability to transform into an umbrella, a mole, a giant version of himself, and a motorbike and more. These transformations happens a few times during each level and can help you reach your goal.
Another new feature making its way into the game is Mellow Mode. It makes the game a bit easier by letting you control Winged Yoshi whose Flutter Jump is replaced by the ability to float at Yoshi's current height indefinitely. If you still find the game a pit challenging you can have friend join in as a second Yoshi. You both run around in an effort to reach the goal, and if both of you run out of balls of wool, one Yoshi can be used as thrown at a short range.
Yoshi Woolly World is shaping up to be a fantastic addition to the Yoshi series. Its ditching all of the unwanted gameplay mechanics and adding new ones to keep the game alive and fresh. And with the adorable Yarn Yoshi amiibos, its hard to turn this game down.

Greengard revolutionized our understanding of how brain cells communicate with each other and contributed to major advances in the treatment of a wide range of neurological and psychiatric diseases. He died April 13 at the age of 93.
In addition to his work at Rockefeller, Eisenberg was a prolific writer of science fiction and limericks.
Attallah Kappas, professor emeritus at The Rockefeller University and physician-in-chief emeritus at The Rockefeller University Hospital, died December 18, 2018 at the age of 92. Kappas was a leading authority in diseases related to liver function and metabolism and in the development of diagnostics and treatments for those conditions.
Scientists discovered a genetic variant that greatly increases a person's likelihood of developing tuberculosis. Their research elucidates how this mutation affects the immune system, and points to a possible treatment for people with the disease.
Rockefeller researchers accomplished a lot this year. We look back at 10 of the most exciting science stories of 2018.
On a recent wintry evening, over 400 people took their seats in Caspary Auditorium. Scientists were center stage, but there wasn't any lecturing. Instead, there was music.
Interviews with some of the university's most prominent researchers reveal the stories behind the science, and the humans underneath the lab coats.
President Rick Lifton has established a committee to guide the strategic planning process. It will be informed by presentations from administrative departments as well as input from the community at large.
Geckos are amazingly agile. In addition to running across land and up trees, the animals can prance across the surface of water. A new study reveals how they do it.
A new digital edition makes Rockefeller's award-winning publication available to readers everywhere.
Researchers have discovered how bacteria manage to destroy enemy DNA, while keeping their own genetic material safe.
Darnell is recognized for his work on RNA regulation and its connection to human disease.
Fuchs is recognized for her groundbreaking study of the molecular mechanisms by which skin stem cells make and repair tissues.
Paul Greengard, an American neuroscientist whose quest to understand how brain cells communicate provided new insights into psychological diseases and earned him a Nobel Prize, and who used his entire $400,000 award to create an academic prize in memory of the mother he never knew, died on Saturday in Manhattan. He was 93.
Further study may reveal surprises about what mosquitoes pay attention to, [Leslie] Vosshall said. And that could lead to better lures for mosquito traps, as well as better repellents. Maybe scientists can find something "10,000 times more disgusting" to a mosquito than the old standby, DEET, she said.
Scientists at Rockefeller University claim they've pinpointed a protein in the ear that acts as a sort of molecular gatekeeper, helping convert soundwaves into the electrical signals that our brains interpret as sound. The finding, though incremental, helps establish a more detailed understanding of how hearing works.
Rockefeller's flagship publication is interested not just in scientific results, but in the people, ideas, and conversations that ignite discovery. The latest issue includes a deep dive into the science that could finally end HIV; a conversation with neuroscientist Cori Bargmann about the brain's intrinsic nature; and a lot more.
Despite decades of study, we know surprisingly little about why neurons fail and memories fade. One researcher is finding clues where few others have looked—in the brain's blood chemistry.
Behold the 15-year-old scribbles that helped David C. Allis land a Rockefeller job—and ultimately led to a Lasker Award.
Together with Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, Ben Kallos, and Bill Castro, Rockefeller's Tim O'Connor cut the ribbon today on a project that completely renovated and enhanced a dilapidated stretch of the East River Esplanade as part of the #RiverCampus expansion.
DEET has been around since the 40s, but we still don't understand how it works. Now we're a step closer.
I had a blast writing about @emilyjanedennis' elegant experiment to figure out how skeeters sense DEET on contact.
Remembering Paul Greengard, who we lost earlier this month.
Why do tumors often come back in #cancer patients who have been treated with #immunotherapy? A new study from the #FuchsLab identifies the tumor cells responsible for thwarting the therapy and offers new insights into how they do it.
Today I celebrated new renovations to the East Side Esplanade! These repairs and improvements give us a glimpse of how the entire esplanade should look, and I am so proud of the public/private partnership btw @RockefellerUniv & @BenKallos that resulted in this gorgeous walkway.

'Captain Marvel' Trailer: Brie Larson's Carol Danvers Searches For Answers & Vows To End A War
A brand-new trailer for 'Captain Marvel' debuted during ESPN's 'Monday Night Football.' Brie Larson fight to save the world from peril in this exciting new look. Watch now!
The new Captain Marvel trailer premiered during halftime of the Washington Redskins-Philadelphia Eagles on Dec. 3. In the trailer, Annette Bening's character tells Carol Danvers, a.k.a. Captain Marvel: "We found you with no memory. We made you one of us, so you could live long, stronger, superior. You were reborn." But Carol wants answers about who she really is. "Something in my past is the key to all of this," she tells Nick Fury.
Carol has her work cut out for her, but she takes orders from no one. "I'm not gonna fight your war," the noble warrior hero vows in the trailer. "I'm gonna end it." There you have it, folks.
Hours before the trailer, Marvel Studios also unveiled a powerful new poster of the kickass superhero Brie Larson is playing, who is part-Kree, part human. Captain Marvel follows the journey of Carol Danvers, who becomes one of Marvel's most powerful heroes. The character is going to appear in Avengers 4, something that was teased at the end of Avengers: Infinity War in a post-credits scene.
Just before Nick Fury faded into dust, thanks to Thanos getting all of the Infinity Stones and wiping out half of the universe's existence, he pulls out a dated pager and calls Captain Marvel. She's going to be a major factor in helping the Avengers that are left safe the world and get their loved ones back.
Brie, who won an Oscar for her role in Room, loves that Carol Danvers is a flawed hero. "You have this Kree part of her that's unemotional, that is an amazing fighter and competitive," Brie told EW. "Then there's this human part of her that is flawed but is also the thing that she ends up leading by. It's the thing that gets her in trouble, but it's also the thing that makes her great. And those two sides warring against each other is what makes her her."
Captain Marvel will hit theaters on March 8, just a few short weeks before the final Avengers movie, which debuts May 3. The movie also stars Jude Law, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Gemma Chan, and Lee Pace.

Playmobil: The Movie, by Cameron J. Czaja
I thought I was going to get a break from reviewing a film this week because usually there's nothing big coming out the week after Thanksgiving. Or so I thought. What peaked my curiosity to see Playmobil: The Movie is how they were going to make a movie about the Playmobil toys and how bad it could it possibly be. I say that because this was delayed several times, which means Hollywood at one point didn't have faith in it. After watching it they should've delayed it indefinitely because I had no idea how bad this was going to be. I know it sounds like I'm jumping the gun more than I usually do in these reviews, but I feel like I had to get my true feelings out before I explain the plot, which itself is pretty crazy. Also this review may contain spoilers.
Despite being an animated film, Playmobil: The Movie opens up as a live action film as we follow a girl named Marla (Anya Taylor-Joy) who just got a passport so she can travel the world before going to college. When her little brother Charlie (Ryan S. Hill) asks what a passport is, Marla explains through song (oh yeah I forgot to mention that this is a musical) and he now wants to travel with her. Soon after that musical number the police show up at their door explaining that their parents were in an accident which cuts to black screen. Four years later Marla is now in her early '20s taking care of Charlie (now played by Gabriel Bateman, who looks nothing like his younger self in the movie) and he runs away from home after they get into a fight. While on the run, Charlie discovers that there is a toy fair being set up in their city and decides to attend it. Marla, worried about his whereabouts, is able to track him down through their phones and they both end up in a Playmobil exhibit at the toy fair. From there (bear with me here) they get sucked into a Playmobil lighthouse where the two siblings turn in Playmobil characters. From there, the rest of the film is now animated and both siblings now have to try and figure out a way back home.
I've mention in previous reviews about certain films being predictable and I feel like I owe those films an apology because Playmobil: The Movie is the most predictable and cliché ridden animated film that I've all year (possibly the last few years). I know I watch a lot of films, but even the average movie goer can acknowledge some common clichés that happen in this film. Examples of these include having deceased parents in order to gain sympathy from the audience, a Han Solo deus ex machina during the film's climax, and the two siblings who mainly argued will get along better at the end. I know that I'm not the demographic for this film, but as someone who has seen both of The Lego Movies and the spinoffs (which you can't help but compare this film to), I feel like my criticism is valid here. While watching this film made me not only want to watch The Lego Movie, but it made me appreciate the sequel to that film, which I thought was a so-so film after I watched it.
Earlier I mentioned that Playmobil: The Movie was a musical and it was a mistake making this film one. It's not that the actors in the film can't sing, as the villain in the film is voiced by Adam Lambert, it's just that the musical numbers here feel forced and unnecessary to the plot. This is coming from someone who grew up loving the Disney musicals in the 1990s. I feel like the filmmakers wanted to follow the trend of recent animated films and make some songs that they hope kids will listen and sing to over and over again, which again feels forced.
If there were anything I can say positive about Playmobil: The Movie, it would the character of Marla and another character named Del (voiced by Jim Gaffigan). What I liked about these two characters is that the film writes them with having good chemistry while not going down the cliché route of having them hook up at the end. In addition, it's always nice to see Jim Gaffigan having a somewhat big role, even if it's a terrible film. For those who don't know, he is a comedian who talks about his Catholic upbringing and his Catholic lifestyle, and I always try and support any Catholic entertainers if given the chance.
Playmobil: The Movie is a predictable mess with a rushed plot and forced musical numbers that felt like it doesn't merit anyone's time whatsoever. Just go watch either Frozen II or The Lego Movie; both are fun to watch and have value to them, which this film has neither.

The Last of the Sidewheelers – Spring 1957
February 15, 2021 /in Inland Seas /by Carrie Sowden
The Great Lakes… 84% of the continent's fresh water… a different story in every drop.
By Dan M. Weber
With three months required to dismantle the wooden superstructure of the City of Detroit, the wrecking contractors announced on November 29th that superstructures of the Greater Detroit and the Eastern States would be burned to speed up the scrapping operation for these remnants of the D & C fleet. Burning arrangements were made with Captain Frank Becker, operator of a Detroit towing company, who had prior experience in burning the Put-In-Bay in 1953. Having spent some 40 years on the Lakes, and being active in several nautical organizations, including the Marine Historical Society of Detroit, he was not content merely to tow them off to an isolated spot and set them afire. As the souvenir collectors made their last trips aboard these boats in search of mementos, he made plans for a farewell ceremony befitting their importance in the history of passenger travel on the Great Lakes.
GREATER DETROIT
The Greater Detroit, built in 1924 at a cost of $3,500,000, along with her sister ship, Greater Buffalo, were the largest passenger ships to sail on the Great Lakes, and the largest sidewheelers in the world. Their overall length of 535 feet exceeded the Aquarama by 15 feet, although the gross tonnage of the Aquarama is approximately 11,000 compared to their 7739. Their 12,000 horsepower inclined engines were the most powerful ever installed in freshwater ships. The Eastern States, built in 1902, was much smaller (366 feet overall) and less glamorous. However, she was a real "workhorse," giving 48 years of dependable service between Detroit and Buffalo, Detroit and Cleveland, and Detroit and Chicago.
The burning was originally scheduled for December 10th at 6:00 P. M. in Lake St. Clair, approximately three miles offshore from the Grosse Point Yacht Club. Representatives from NBC and local and outof-town newspapers were assembled at the Third Street Dock at 9:00 A. M. that morning, but 35 mile-per-hour winds forced postponement of the ceremony for two days. Nature seemed to be lending a hand in prolonging their life, but not for long. On December 12th, the weather forecast was more favorable, and the press representatives assembled again. Captain Lewis Mantell, last skipper of the Greater, came out of retirement at Belle River, Ontario, and donned his uniform for the final flag raising on her stern. A woman with 30 years' service in the house keeping department of the D & C was also on hand. Although reminiscing freely about the Greater's glorious past, they did not wish to remain for the fiery finale. Around 10:30 A. M. the procession got underway with four tugs abreast, the B. H. Becker, Atomic (1955 International Tug Race Winner), Aburg, and Ethel 5., towing the Greater while the Eastern States was tied on behind. These four tugs abreast were quite a sight themselves, and a fifth tug, G. F. Becker, was utilized by Captain Becker to direct the operation by radio-telephone.
GREATER DETROIT and EASTERN STATES under tow on December 12, 1956
As they headed up-river, the auto-carrier George Ingalls and the carferry Lansdowne gave their farewell salutes of three long and two short whistles, acknowledged by the tugs. The sun broke through the overcast for a few moments, giving downtown Detroiters a last glimpse of these once stately craft which had sailed on the busy waterway at their front door. The souvenir hunter, the art collector, and the man seeking salvageable material for a project at home or in his business, had paid thousands of dollars for the more valuable furnishings aboard these ships. The Greater still presented an impressive outward appearance as the December winds whined through her littered cabins and decks. The Eastern States looked more bedraggled tagging along behind – minus her wheel house and with many windows broken. Proceeding past Belle Isle and out into Lake St. Clair, the funeral procession dropped anchor in a shallow dumping ground in Canadian waters. However, using two Canadian tugs and mooring in Canadian waters necessitated an unexpected customs clearance for Captain Becker's two tugs which were to take press representatives out to the burning site.
Traffic jams had developed on East Jefferson Avenue on the two previous evenings as thousands of motorists with their families came out to bid the ships "goodbye." Perhaps the postponements diminished the crowd on December 12th, but the police departments of communities on Lake St. Clair required extra help to keep traffic moving. Many came and went, or flooded newspaper switchboards with calls as the hours dragged by without any sign of fire. Little did they know of the frustrating delays being encountered by Captain Becker and his associates in getting the fires started. However, those among the estimated 15,000 spectators who held out until 10:00 P. M. were well rewarded for their patience, even though many were moist-eyed as the spectacle unfolded before them.
Press and newsreel representatives, and some people previously associated with the D & C Navigation Company, had gathered at Captain Becker's apartment at 3:30 P. M. in anticipation of a 4:oo P. M. departure to the scene. However, the delay for customs clearance resulted in a 6:30 departure. The G. F. Becker, a former mail boat on the Detroit River, contained a well-equipped cabin which accommodated some 12 to 15 reporters and photographers. others in the party were accommodated aboard the smaller B. H. Becker, which also carried fireworks to be shot from the stern of the Greater for half an hour preceding the burning.
We headed into a moderate sea which brought spray over the bow, and in 24 degree temperature the deck soon became coated with ice. The pitching and rolling had a nauseating effect on several of us in the crowded, heated cabin. After an hour's ride, the ghostly white form of the Greater loomed before us in the G. F. Becker's searchlight. Photographers slung their cameras over their shoulders and ventured out on the deck, de-iced to some extent with salt. Original plans were to spotlight the top deck so that photographers might shoot the lowering of the flag and the playing of taps. However, rough waters forced cancellation of fireworks and this ceremony on the Greater's stern, so the men preparing inflammatory materials aboard both ships were taken off. As the firing was about to begin, it was discovered that 30 gallons of fuel oil were still to be spread on the Greater. With some difficulty, three men were placed back aboard her and 45 minutes were consumed in distributing the oil and getting these men back on the tugs. At 9:00 the ships were ready, but the electrical detonator from tug to ship could not be used due to the rough water. A flare was then tossed aboard the Greater and it started a small fire on the main deck at the last passenger gangway. As it was about to flicker out, the B. H Becker went alongside and a roman candle was shot into a pile of oil-soaked scrap lumber which the wrecking company had gleaned from their yard and loaded into the main deck. This material flared up in a few seconds and the burning was really underway at 9:45. The partly used roman candle was cast overboard, and the sight of colored balls of fire, shooting back at the B. H Becker from the water, was one of the few occasions for laughter that night!
GREATER DETROIT burning on December 12, 1956
While the fire licked its way to the upper decks, a few more fireworks were set off for the entertainment of those who waited ashore. Flame broke through the roof at 10:00 and inched forward against the wind. The sky was lighted for miles around and great clouds of smoke billowed down toward Detroit.
As the press tug cruised back and forth, the wind diminished, the water became smoother, and photographers were able to take pictures without the risk of being tossed overboard. However, just as the NBC Television filming began with the blowing of taps, a wave hit the tug over the stern. The bugler, Captain Becker, and NBC interviewer Richard Applegate, were tossed to the deck, getting their shoes filled with water. Those who saw one and a half minutes of the burning on the Chet Huntley-Dave Brinkley program at 7:45 P. M. the following night, may now better appreciate the difficulties encountered in filming that brief scene!
By 11:00 P. M. the flames had reached their peak, and attention was then diverted to the Eastern States. Being anchored only a few feet down-wind from the Greater, it was expected that flaming embers would blow onto the Eastern so that both ships would be afire together. Some flame did leap across open water and ignite wooden deck railing on the Eastern's bow, but it burned very slowly. A few creosote-impregnated fenders also caught fire. However, to the surprise of many, the embers which dropped on her boat deck in great numbers did not touch off a sweeping conflagration. When her turn came to go up in flames, she slipped her anchor, and drifted approximately a mile away before going aground. It seemed that she was making a last effort to escape her fate. Being off-wind, the few little fires aboard burned very slowly, and it was necessary for a tug to go alongside and throw a flare into the main deck, which also contained combustible material.
Her half-century old superstructure with countless coats of paint to feed the flames, was soon aglow inside. To the accompaniment of gun powder explosions, which caused her to shake noticeably, the flames shot through the roof at 11:45. Snow had been failing and few of the press chose to remain on deck any longer. In their uncomfortably cold condition, they asked to be taken ashore. However, those of us who remained topside, saw the more spectacular blaze as the brilliant orange flames mounted skyward – higher and brighter than those of the Greater. It was a bit paradoxical that the ship which was the least glamorous of the fleet should provide the most colorful finale to this era which had come to an end. Even the ghost of Frank Kirby might have smiled at this turn of events for his "proud old lady." As we departed, the Eastern was still burning brightly, while the Greater had begun to cool off – the metal railings and fixtures in her superstructure collapsing into twisted wreckage.
We docked at 1:00 A. M., cold and tired after six and a half hours on the sturdy though bouncing tugs. It was "A Night to Remember" for the rest of our lives and looking back on the events of that evening there came to mind a particularly appropriate quotation from the works of John Masefield, "We shall not see such ships as these again."

Institutions have started to move their data and ICT operations into the cloud. It is becoming clear that this is leading to a decrease of overview and control over government access to data for law enforcement and national security purposes. This report looks at the possibilities for the U.S. government to obtain access to information in the cloud from Dutch institutions on the basis of U.S. law and on the basis of Dutch law and international co-operation. It concludes that the U.S. legal state of affairs implies that the transition towards the cloud has important negative consequences for the possibility to manage information confidentiality, information security and the privacy of European end users in relation to foreign governments.
The Patriot Act from 2001 has started to play a symbolic role in the public debate. It is one important element in a larger, complex and dynamic legal framework for access to data for law enforcement and national security purposes. In particular, the FISA Amendments Act provision for access to data of non-U.S. persons outside the U.S. enacted in 2008 deserves attention. The report describes this and other legal powers for the U.S. government to obtain data of non-U.S. persons located outside of the U.S. from cloud providers that fall under its jurisdiction. Such jurisdiction applies widely, namely to cloud services that conduct systematic business in the United States and is not dependent on the location where the data are stored, as is often assumed. For non-U.S. persons located outside of the U.S., constitutional protection is not applicable and the statutory safeguards are minimal.
In the Netherlands and across the EU, government agencies have legal powers to obtain access to cloud data as well. These provisions can also be be used to assist the U.S. government, when it does not have jurisdiction for instance, but they must stay within the constitutional safeguards set by national constitutions, the European Convention on Human Rights and the EU Charter.
UPDATE (11.06.13): Recent leaks around the PRISM surveillance program of the National Security Agency seem to support that these legal possibilities are used in practice on a large scale. Therefore, the authors have decided to publish a draft of their update paper on SSRN under the title 'Obscured by Clouds or How to Address Governmental Access to Cloud Data from Abroad'. The analysis is updated and it includes regulatory and policy solutions to the current legal reality.


Hazardous chemicals need to be handled with special care. While chemicals and acids are obviously toxic and corrosive, soaps and paints can be just as dangerous. A wide variety of industries create or handle hazardous liquids, and it's important that these fluids are transported by the right types of pumping systems. Without the right process pumps in place, you could end up with serious property damage or even physical injury.
Who Uses Chemical Process Pumps?
You might be surprised at the companies we work with as an industrial chemical process pump supplier in Jamaica. Chemical processing facilities are obvious candidates; however, we also provide pumping systems to pharmaceutical companies, the textile and petroleum industries, mining companies, the automotive industry, waste water treatment facilities, power generation companies, and even the solar power industry.
Regardless of the field that you work in, we can provide the pumping systems that you need to keep your business running smoothly and your employees safe. Chemical process pumps enable the safe handling of harsh fluids, and they are built to withstand some pretty rough conditions. They are designed specifically for the corrosive environment created by the chemical process, so they work wonderfully whether you're dealing with acids or soap, petroleum or paint.


Can't figure out the difference between CDMA and GSM? It's OK. We'll give you the DL, PDQ.
You could sneeze in a bowl of Alpha-Bits and likely end up with an acronym that had something to do with cell phones. There are tons of them. And although understanding most won't benefit you, some might help you the next time you're in the market for a phone. Or when you just want to appreciate this month's Digital Man column.
Voice: U.S. phone companies use two types of networks, GSM (AT&T and T-Mobile) and CDMA (Verizon and Sprint). The only real difference is that GSM is standard in many other countries, so while your CDMA phone turns worthless the second you land abroad, your GSM phone will work practically anywhere -- at the reasonable roaming rate of $149 per minute.
Data: 2.5G (generation) and 3G networks have made data transmission -- texts, e-mail, and Internet content -- much less cumbersome. Phones that are 2.5G, which include most nonsmartphones and, inexplicably, the iPhone, use the GSM-based EDGE or CDMA-based 1xRTT technology. They're okay for Web surfing but too slow for downloads. You'll go five times faster on the 3G networks HSDPA (GSM) or EV-DO (CDMA).


(Apr 25 2017 11:13AM) : the 1 step to great public speaking is that let the audience know why they should care.
#3. Making it familiar. Make them question themselves about what you're asking them as you create a real picture.
#4. To make it worth sharing. Have a base understanding with whom you've presented for. Make them believe in what you think is the best idea ever. if so, they will share your story.
(Apr 27 2017 10:45AM) : I like this video because he actually explains his idea and how we all thing the same in a way.
2. Give listeners a reason to care by making them wonder like putting a puzzle together.
3. Talking about things that's related to your topic by using language to get into there minds.
To become a great speaker is to transfer into a listener's mind. For whatever your topic is you need to make sure you speak in a way the resonates with everyone.
(May 01 2017 12:20PM) : one brain can reach out of hundreds of brains just by good presentation.
Ideas shape how we talk and the creativities that can help shape our culture.
Your brains ideas and context can reach other people's brains if your presentation is really well thought out.
(May 02 2017 11:27AM) : Throughout the whole processes it makes me wonder how they for the same idea. What if the person did not have a good tone? Would it have the same effect?
(May 02 2017 11:36AM) : The way the woman started was very strong, all those stereotypes and questions some people think strongly of.
(May 02 2017 11:42AM) : In order to really bring similar thoughts to others, you have to know that what your top is, is not for your own benefit but influence the thoughts of others to either change their view of the world or perhaps just make their day better.
(May 04 2017 12:22PM) : In step one, I think the idea that one idea that he is talking about is also talking about the thesis. Just like he said the rest of your conversation links back to that one ide just like your thesis.
(May 04 2017 12:27PM) : For the second step, I agree that your audience has to actually care about the idea you're trying to convey. If you have an idea that your audience doesn't care about they will not listen. Give a reason to why your idea matters and why they should care.
You have to get people to care. You have to let people know why this idea matter.
(May 08 2017 11:09AM) : A part that stuck out to me was where he said that if your idea doesn't benefit someone else, but only serves you, then it probably isn't worth sharing.
(May 08 2017 11:14AM) : I learned that before you can begin to build ideas inside an audience you must peek their curiosity, so that they let you in.
(May 08 2017 11:17AM) : If communicated properly, an idea can change a person's worldview forever.
(May 12 2017 6:20PM) : He is right when he says we try to transfer our idea in our listener's mind.
(May 16 2017 10:48PM) : I agree with what he is saying, don't think much of it.
(May 16 2017 10:48PM) : Overusing some strategies makes you seem cliche.
(May 16 2017 10:49PM) : Your goal is to transfer your idea to your audience.
(May 19 2017 11:54AM) : To connect with your audience, you have to present your topic in a way the audience can engage. I feel like you have to know that there will be audience that won't be too interested in the topic being presented, so give them a reason to do so.
(May 19 2017 12:02PM) : I think presenting will only be easy for you if you actually know your topic. The nervousness will then start to die down and then your pacing will be easy to follow for the audience.Then the audience can actually connect to what you are saying.
(May 19 2017 12:13PM) : I learned that ideas are important because it can change your point of view of the world and how you look at it.
(May 24 2017 12:00PM) : Connecting to your audience is the number one task a speaker should have or is really important.
(May 24 2017 12:04PM) : You build an idea in the minds of your audience that is the most important thing for a ted talk for your audience to give in to what you are trying to say.
(May 30 2017 6:49PM) : I didn't think Ted talks can have so much of an impact on the audience, all just from talking into a crowd.
(May 30 2017 6:56PM) : This is sooooo true . It's how the mind works . When seeing a cute fuzzy animal we pet it and say "awww" but when seeing a vicious animal, us humans are hesitant to come anywhere near it.
(May 30 2017 7:00PM) : Making the audience curious, it will definitely engage the audience.
(May 31 2017 2:13AM) : A great speaker transfers info into the audiences mind. the topic has to be clear and understandable for all.
(May 31 2017 2:15AM) : If a message is spread properly, It can change a persons mindset.
(May 31 2017 2:17AM) : What stuck with me in this video what the man said "Ideas are the most powerful force shaping human culture" This is true because one man can change how we think. One person can make movements so powerful it can change our world.
(May 31 2017 9:33PM) : In the beginning of the video ted says that some people may think there is aformula to talking. In a way I agree because I struggle with talking and I believe that there is a formula or some trick to talking.
(May 31 2017 9:36PM) : As a speaker, you have to connect with the listeners with your mind. The ideas in your mind contradict what you say. So its important to think while you speak because your thoughts is what makes your tone and your infection of your words.
(May 31 2017 9:38PM) : As you speak focus on one thing at a time. You do not want to move on to the ext topic or part of your speech without going into context with what you are saying. You want them to believe everything you say.
(Jun 01 2017 12:22PM) : there is billions of inter connected neurons and there is some linked to each other creating a single idea. I think that's cool because its creating the same thing in very one else brain while they are listening.
(Jun 01 2017 4:59PM) : -"I like his voice, it definitely made me focus more on his voice and it allowed him to stand out from the other "Ted" talks."
(Jun 01 2017 5:08PM) : The best way to have great public speaking is to grasp your audience attention to let them know it's important.
(Jun 01 2017 5:09PM) : I like how they go in depth with public speaking and what to do with the audience.
(Jun 01 2017 5:48PM) : Having the audience understand why its important so that they could care about what you are talking about .
(Jun 01 2017 5:50PM) : First step of always relating everything back to your thesis to make sure they get your point.
(Jun 01 2017 5:54PM) : Knowing your topic will make it better for you to present because you get more confidence.
(Apr 24 2018 1:37PM) : Speakers have to give listeners a gift while also making them feel their emotion.
(Apr 24 2018 1:39PM) : People who presenting have to create connections between different ideas.
(Apr 25 2017 11:50AM) : I also agree that transferring an idea to your audience is key in a presentation because that's the purpose of a presentation, to share a message to the audience and make them think about what the information you say.
(Apr 25 2017 12:01PM) : I also think ideas should also be connected to reality because everyone's world views may be different, which may change the way certain people feel, or react toward different ideas.
(Apr 25 2017 9:01AM) : So All I have to do great in public speaking is have an idea and try my best to make others connect to my idea. I think I can do that with no problem.
(Apr 25 2017 12:05PM) : Ideas change how people see the world, and can also shape people's actions now and in the future. I think ideas are very powerful because they are like first impressions; people start judgements based on what they see and hear.
(Apr 25 2017 9:07AM) : I like this talk, Chris Anderson really explained what to do and how do to do it well. I will use these tips in my prep for my senior project oral presentation.
(Apr 25 2017 9:11AM) : I appreciate the pics and reference videos it helped me understand how things worked and how to use the audience to present.
ask them questions and get them interested in what are you talking about make them want to find out what your try to say. if you get them interested they will be hook on you the whole time speaking.
(Apr 25 2017 9:38AM) : I agree with this idea that goes through people's mind when there is a ted talk.
(Apr 25 2017 9:39AM) : what kind of common idea that the ted talker have.
(Apr 25 2017 12:39PM) : To give an oral presentation, it is better to connect with the audience so that they can better understand what you are trying to say. Something to keep in mind for my senior presentation.
(Apr 25 2017 9:41AM) : What kind of idea does people use in this video.
(Apr 25 2017 9:42AM) : i agree with what he saying in this video because i do think deeply about something someone said when they are presenting.
(Apr 25 2017 9:44AM) : When you say your job as a speaker is to transfer into your listener mind. What if all people do not know how to do that ,like do not know how to transfer over?
(Apr 25 2017 9:45AM) : i had no idea how your ideas work while in the brain. it is fascinating.
(Apr 25 2017 12:46PM) : Giving an oral presentation is like giving an idea. With that idea, you put it in the audience mind and they will tend to agree to disagree with it. I believe it is kind of true. The audience will place it in their minds & see any relations.
(Apr 25 2017 9:46AM) : My key ideas are to use the method were you tie everything back to your thesis everything is relevant to you topic.
(Apr 25 2017 12:49PM) : i can tell how all the people giving oral presentations in the video are nervous but it is good that they are brave enough to present in front of so many people.
(Apr 25 2017 9:49AM) : My idea is worth sharing because its a social justice issue everyone should be informed.
(Apr 25 2017 9:49AM) : There are one thing that all good speakers have that connect and make them good speakers. Its an idea that connects and draws the attention of the speaker.
(Apr 25 2017 12:50PM) : With these ideas being presented, it gives the audience another point of view. The audience may or may not have known anything about the presented idea, so that will give them a whole nother insight of something different. That is one of the key points.
(Apr 25 2017 9:54AM) : If when we are to present we need to be prepared with an idea, something that we can portray to the audience in a creative feel.
(Apr 25 2017 9:55AM) : There should be one idea that can be strong and you can talk about throughout your whole talk.
(Apr 25 2017 9:57AM) : You should make your audience curious to where they would want to hear more of what your talking about in your speach. TO keep them stirred up and want to actually hear more.
(Apr 25 2017 12:58PM) : I agree that creativity is key for incoming students. I personally learn more through hands on activities or any creative process needed to learn a topic.
(Apr 25 2017 10:00AM) : When the woman says it is earthquake resistant and stronger than a bamboo what is she trying to connect back to ?
(Apr 25 2017 1:00PM) : I can relate to this because as soon as anyone is up there they freeze because knowing that their people looking at them, it gets tricky to put what we think out there. Public speaking is one of the most adrenaline feelings because everyone is scared.
(Apr 25 2017 1:01PM) : Key point number 2, for my topic is important. We need present to the audience in a way they would care for what is being said. Be thorough with the presentation with only having one main idea.
(Apr 25 2017 10:02AM) : The 3 main methods will help me give any oral presentation. I like the way he explain what an idea is and how it should be developed.
(Apr 25 2017 1:04PM) : Developing an idea and always sticking with the main topic could be difficult to stick with because I run out of reasons to support my idea. So Ted's secret was very helpful to focus and support how we can manage/laborate an idea, which is by connecting.
(Apr 25 2017 11:26AM) : all ted talk transmit an idea into people to get their attention.
(Apr 25 2017 11:32AM) : everyone gets terrified but as soon as she gets her ideas and opinion,everyone starts thinking the same or in a similar way as you when you are presenting.
(Apr 25 2017 11:35AM) : The speaker have an idea in their mind and it makes them come out of what they think and connect with the audience to make them think as you do.
I think if I had to do a TED talk in front of many people I would be really nervous too.
(Apr 25 2017 11:39AM) : TED have a brainstorm on what they should talk and how they have a effects contact and intro like a writing before they start talking.
(Apr 25 2017 11:40AM) : one key to a ted speaker is that you have to transfer into your reader's mind.
I agree that creativity is important in the education system because that's how certain individuals work the mind to learn things and helps to navigate the word.
(Apr 25 2017 2:40PM) : Its interesting because I do notice that on a lot of the ted talk, they bring up an interesting subject that would peak my curiosity. However how do I peak someone curiosity when they hear about the topic a million times?
(Apr 25 2017 11:42AM) : Great public speaking requires someone who does know their audience. Someone who can shape how someone thinks and using the vocabulary the audience would be able to understand.
I agree that people react to things differently. I also agree that that ideas are powerful that helps shapes people.
(Apr 25 2017 11:44AM) : the mind is full of ideas that connect, your brain is build of out a billion of ideas.
(Apr 25 2017 11:44AM) : Public speaking can really influence how someone sees the world based off of what they learn and was expose to.
I think that it is important to build your idea with familiar concepts so that it's worth sharing to an audience.
(Apr 25 2017 4:06PM) : I agree with him when he said that in order to have a successful presentation you must have your brain in sync with the audience in order for them to understand your idea.
(Apr 25 2017 1:08PM) : I think the way people's mind fall into sync is real. Because when one is speaking about something everyone is speaking about.
(Apr 25 2017 1:10PM) : the ted talked is all about herself by thinking of an good idea that each person have in their brain.
(Apr 25 2017 1:10PM) : i agree with his thinking of an idea as well because i think of it as a plan that leads to a course of action.
He is trying to say that after she got on the stage people was starting to get familiar or understanding her thoughts!
(Apr 25 2017 1:14PM) : second rabison how they already know what to say, your mind is tingling with ideas it your brain operation system.
(Apr 25 2017 1:17PM) : there are million of people out there who are react differen, that why idea really mother, that how someone think of the world, idea are things that you really passion about.
(Apr 25 2017 4:18PM) : The main objective of a presentation is to change the perspective of whoever is listening. So while brains are scattering and then connecting,it creates one mesh of knowledge.
there is billions of inter connected neurons and there is some linked to each other creating a single idea. I think that's cool because its creating the same thing in very one else brain while they are listening.
(Apr 25 2017 1:23PM) : Connecting with someone's brain seems true when you are concentrating on the ideas of the speaker.
Get to know what is the audience interest to talk about that specific thing before coming up with a boring idea.
(Apr 25 2017 1:27PM) : While appreciate these tips for being a great public speaker. Can they be used in other forms of speaking?
(Apr 25 2017 1:29PM) : This video makes me think that you have to make people think the way that you do. This would make your case easier to make.
Chris stated that " Idea's really matter because if communicated properly there capable of changing forever how someone thinks about the world." I agree with this because I experienced an example that changed my life. Nas had a song called "If I ruled the world" and from than on I felt them empowered that if I did really rule the world what impact can I have on it. This was an idea that was transferred to me.
(Apr 26 2017 2:11PM) : Chris states that when you are speaking to your audience you want them to be engaged. One thing you can do to engage your audience is to make them curious about a topic. One way you can make your audience curious is by asking them a question.
(Apr 26 2017 12:54PM) : How reliable do you have to be on the world views?
(Apr 26 2017 12:57PM) : I do agree on what he is saying to have good ideas but how do you know which idea is best to focus on the most?
Something that really caught my attention from the video is that there is no established formula to give a good speech. There is no proper way to give a speech because the point is to transmits one's idea to others people's mind, make them see what you see.
Ideas are what make our world our world. "Our world" is composed of many different ideas, but in the long run those ideas are all connected to each other. These ideas give us our own perspective on what we believe in or in other words give the structure to our world.
I think two major keys , which was the use of language and to get on a even ground with the audience, from the four Chris Anderson presented are the most important. Language is important because you never really know the level of understanding your audience has. So you always have to understand your audience first. The second point which was get on an even ground with the audience is also important because how can you start implanting your idea in someone else's mind if you don't understand the audience. To achieve this it is always important to use metaphors to give the audience a better understanding of your idea.
(Apr 24 2018 11:29AM) : even expert people feel nervous of talking.
(Apr 24 2018 11:30AM) : everyone is getting the same pattern because people are learning the same thing.
As our job as speakers is to go into our listeners brain and give them an idea. I see this as we need to really believe that we are correct and be ready for any possible questions that can make you seem like you aren't the correct answer.
(Apr 24 2018 11:33AM) : many people think differently from each other and not everyone will agree with you.
(Apr 24 2018 11:34AM) : Focus on 1 idea and don't bring up many issues.
(Apr 24 2018 11:37AM) : Make the audience feel curios and want to learn more about your presentation.
3. Build your idea with familiar concepts.
4. make your idea worth sharing.
Everyone thinks differently so even if you try to form an idea in their head, their ideas won't exactly be the same as yours or anyone else. Well that's unless you explain every little piece of detail.
You want to make your audience curious about what you are talking about.
(Apr 24 2018 11:41AM) : When you are publicly speaking you must really think about the audience and how what you say will change their day or future positively.
Focus on a certain big idea.
(Apr 24 2018 11:43AM) : I am really surprised it was not try and make the audience laugh now and then. I believe that if the audience is serious through the whole talk there will be a slight bore.
I think connecting and making your audience really think about your topic without them losing interest is really important.
(Apr 24 2018 11:44AM) : Focus on speaking about one major factor and dont go off topic or else it will be hard for your audience to understand.
The girl at 4:25 says how some people may see her as a sister or a scholar and also states how some people anm see her as a terrorist.
(Apr 24 2018 2:48PM) : Always keep eyes to the audience because in that way the audience will know that you are not nervous and that can low your grade. and always have a good body language, be professional.
(Apr 24 2018 11:49AM) : The presenters must be able to connect with the audience and be able to make them feel what they are feeling.
Like Haley, make your audience have the same emotions, thought process, and energy as you. I think that's part of the beginning of your presentation, because that's what's going to make them have the first thought of you or your topic.
(Apr 24 2018 11:50AM) : Ideas matter a lot because they can change how people look at the world.
(Apr 24 2018 2:52PM) : Present something that will capture the attention of the audience. In the beginning tell them something that will keep them thinking about your presentation (hook) and keep eye contact.
(Apr 24 2018 2:54PM) : Be interested about your topic and not show the judges that you are just doing this because you were forced to. show them that this is a big issue and build your presentation, make it your own.

"He has an aversion to the word 'retire' -- he thinks those are reserved for Peyton Manning and people who have celebrated storied careers," Green said. "But his journey is complete.
"Utility guys don't retire, we kind of fade into the background."

Schumaker, 36, was in camp on a Minor League deal. The Padres had every intention of looking at him for a bench job -- a left-handed hitter off the bench, someone with versatility and a player with a strong clubhouse presence.
But Schumaker told Green privately that he had reached the end of the road as a player.
"He's at a point in his journey where it's time to move on," Green said. "We spent an hour together, going through his career and what brought him to his decision. He's spent himself in this game as a player. His body hurts when he gets up in the morning. He's grinded it as hard as it can.
"He thinks it's time for that job to go to someone else and not himself."
"His career was lived with class and dignity. He led by example and I have nothing but respect for him." -Andy Green pic.twitter.com/mRP86LyF0U
Schumaker, who earned World Series rings with the Cardinals in 2006 and '11, was 0-for-8 in three Cactus League games this spring. He started games at second base and in right field.
Schumaker, who wasn't available for comment Wednesday, finished his career with a .278/.337/.364 line in 1,149 games.
Schumaker recently told MLB.com that this stop in San Diego would be the last in a career that began in 2001, when he was drafted by the Cardinals in the fifth round.
"I didn't think I would have one day in the big leagues. I know it's a short window, being a player," Schumaker said last week. "I love the game. I know it won't be there forever."
Green said Schumaker addressed the team before Wednesday's workout.
Green also said the conversation he had with Schumaker was eerily similar to the one he had with now-Mets manager Terry Collins at the end of the 2010 season. Collins was the Mets' Minor League field coordinator at the time and Green, who was then 32, was ready to end his playing career.
Collins tried to talk Green out of stepping away from the game. Green didn't try the same with Schumaker.
"[Schumaker] didn't take the decision lightly," Green said. "He said some of the same things I said to Terry Collins [six] years ago: 'I might be able to trick some people in the game, but I can't trick myself. I can't catch up to a 95 mph fastball anymore. I can't move like some of these guys can move. My body hurts like crazy getting ready.'"
