What You Missed on Twitter This Week, Vol. 3

Dem Senate Candidate Threatens Tracker With Lawsuit
Paul Crookston
Kimberly Graham, an Iowa Democratic Senate candidate, confronted a tracker from America Rising over the weekend and threatened to serve her with a lawsuit for harassment.
"Where's the best place to serve you with a lawsuit?" Graham said after storming up to the tracker, according to video obtained from the conservative group. "Is that your home or do you have an office?"
The confrontation occurred after Graham and her supporters attended a climate change parade in Des Moines, Iowa. The tracker had been recording Graham as she marched in the parade, a standard campaign practice from political groups on both sides of the aisle.
Graham told the tracker she planned on suing for "harassment."
Graham had already confronted the tracker earlier in the day, putting her phone in the tracker's face and asking her repeated questions about the environment. Video of that interaction shows the tracker asked Graham to take a step back during the confrontation, which was initiated by Graham.
"If you could take a step back—I wasn't getting in your personal space, but you were getting in mine," the tracker said after Graham reached especially close with her phone.
Graham threatened to call the police after the tracker declined to stop recording.
"I'd like you to put the camera away," Graham said toward the end of the first interaction.
"That's okay, it's a free country," the tracker replied.
"That's alright, I'll just call the police because there are plenty of them around," Graham said.
"Okay, great, they'll talk to you," the tracker replied before Graham walked away.
Graham's campaign did not respond to emailed questions on whether it will be filing any lawsuits.

Virginia Tech VS. Syracuse : Five Concerns That Should Worry All Hokies
It was a tough loss, but these 5 takeaways concern me the most.
By Roy Hatfield@roybhatfield Oct 16, 2016, 8:48pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Virginia Tech VS. Syracuse : Five Concerns That Should Worry All Hokies
Mark Konezny-USA TODAY Sports
Saturday was difficult to witness on many levels. The Hokies lost an A.C.C. game for the first time this season. The Hokies appeared to be flat, and uninspired. Chalking this one up as a learning experience, here are my biggest five concerns following the loss.
#1 The defense could not get off the field when it mattered.
The Bud Foster led defense found itself in way too many 3rd and shorts. It didn't help that Syracuse was 4/5 on 4th downs either. It seemed that the Orange were in favorable down and distance during every series in the second half. One of the biggest misses I saw was the lack of press coverage when Syracuse went 5 wide. When you give receivers a 6 yard cushion on 3rd and 3, bad things are bound to happen. Syracuse put together a back breaking 16 play drive in the fourth quarter that ultimately sealed the game.
#2 Evans never looked comfortable in the pocket.
Syracuse only had 1 sack, but the back side pressure seemed to rattle Evans. Evans never looked poised in the pocket. For the first time all year, it seemed he never had his feet squarely underneath him. There were far too many back foot throws, highlighted by the missed deep ball to Isaiah Ford in the third quarter. Some of it was play calling, some of it was poor line play. Evans only seemed comfortable on the first drive of the second half. The Hokies' running game looked its best, and Evans had some great play action completions.
#3 Our punting is sub-par, and should be an immediate concern.
Mitchell Ludwig had a tough day in the Carrier Dome. This has been a theme all year. His stat line isn't awful, 5 punts for a 41.6 average. When the Hokies needed a boomer, however, his short punt offered Syracuse a very good return. To give you a comparison, Syracuse's Sterling Hofrichter averaged 48.7 yards per boot. The conditions don't get more optimal than the Carrier Dome. The conditions won't get easier for Ludwig, with late season games in South Bend, and the home games at Lane.
#4 Our secondary may not be as good as advertised.
The stats don't lie. #DBU was not looking to sharp on Saturday. Mook Reynolds got beat deep early, and it seemed we were tentative for the rest of the game. Syracuse threw for a mind boggling 405 yards against the Hokies, who before the game were ranked top 20 against the pass in the nation. The Hokies had no answer for the 5 wide sets they faced all days. The Hokies were vulnerable on the quick hitch, and the seam route. Hopefully the "blueprint" on how to beat the Hokies gets solved this week.
#5 Sam Rogers is not our best running back.
The Hokies struggled to get anything going in the rushing game. Jerod Evans was the leading rusher with 61 yards on 11 carries. Travon McMillian only had 9 carries. The identity was lost in this game. The Hokies only managed 161 yards on the ground, and give credit to Syracuse for making the Hokies one dimensional. Outside of the first drive of the second half, the Hokies looked anemic in the ground game. For the Fuente offense to be truly successful, the running game must be sound. The dive play to Sam Rogers clearly doesn't work. Why we insist on running it 5 times per game is beyond me.

I've been asked a few times about writer's block and recently expounded on my take on the subject on a Goodreads Ask the Author question. I thought I'd pop over here to share those thoughts.
Over the course of writing the first drafts for all three books in The Song of the Ash Tree, I taught myself that writer's block is a figment of the imagination. I always suspected this, but in establishing a daily writing routine for 18 months, I became a true believer. Out of those 18 months, or 547 days, I think I chose not to write perhaps 15 times. Even if I only got a few hundred words down, it still mattered and I didn't allow the quantity (or lack of!) to discourage me. As my routine became instinctive during the course of the first book, it became easier to up my daily quantity.
But surely there were days when I struggled?
1. Set a routine and stick to it as best you can. During the 4.5 months it took to draft The Blood-Tainted Winter, the only two days I did not write were Christmas Eve and New Year's Day. I found I didn't have to write at the same time every day (some authors are much more adamant about this), but I also found that I went in cycles. For a few weeks, I might churn out words better at 10 PM, but then the good mojo might shift to 8 AM. I learned to go with the flow while still making sure I wrote every day.
2. Stop editing. Seriously. This. Prior to writing The Blood-Tainted Winter, when I opened up whatever project I was working on, I would re-read what I had last written. Sometimes I would re-read from the beginning. By the time I got to the blank space that needed filling, I was bored, discouraged, hungry…. You name it, it kept me from making progress. When I decided to make a serious commitment to this nebulous Norse project, I also made the decision to cut out (smother, slaughter, burn, whatever it would take) my bad habit of re-reading. I'm convinced this made all the difference during the early stages of The Blood-Tainted Winter before my routine and good habits were strong enough to keep propelling me forward. Even so, I didn't read a single word of that draft until a month after I finished it.
3. Understand that you can always fix what you put on the page. This goes hand in hand with the previous point, but I think it deserves a separate discussion because it falls within the realm of in-the-moment second guessing, rather than next day second guessing. When it came to maintaining my routine, there were days when I was faced with a scene I wasn't sure how to approach, or days when I could only trip through a few hundred words. Whatever the stumbling point might be, I reminded myself that nothing had to be perfect at that stage. Rough spots can be smoothed over, gaping holes can be filled–LATER. Get the story on the page.
4. If you're facing a problem you consider truly catastrophic, you may need to ask yourself why that is. I didn't suffer from this, so I may not be the best to speak to it (though I do think I avoided this simply because I refused to believe it was possible–mind over matter!). But I do think that if you're finding a scene to be particularly prickly or you just aren't sure what direction to go next, you need to ask yourself some questions. Are you planning on writing this scene because you think it should be there or because it's the right scene at the right moment? Is the story still the right story? Does it still cause your heart to beat a little faster? It's okay to take a moment and measure these things because you have to be passionate for this to work.
The short answer is that I don't deal with writer's block because I don't allow it to exist. But I also know that the first three points were vital to my ability to finish The Song of the Ash Tree. Maybe they will help you, too!
That's what I posted on Goodreads. But I'd like to add here that I find discussions of writer's block unproductive, worn out, and immaterial. Is that harsh? Perhaps. But I feel that some writers, or those who want to be writers, have created writer's block, have made a phantom crutch to fall back on when they don't feel like doing the hard work and putting in the time. It's easy to say, "I have writer's block so I just can't do it today." It's easy to blame some big bad wolf–slathering teeth and putrid breath and all–rather than admit your own shortcomings.

After the first day's action in Åland, Team Shetland remained without a medal but able to look back on highly respectable performances across several different sports.
Eilidh Peterson's jump was good enough for her to progress. Click on image to enlarge.
Following a fine 2-2 draw for the footballers against Menorca at lunchtimes (see separate story), the athletics programme kicked into action on Sunday evening and youngster Katie Bristow put in a tremendous run to come ninth and qualify for the women's 1,500m final, which takes place on Tuesday. That feat was matched by Eilidh Peterson, who secured her place in Tuesday's women's long jump final with a jump of 4.84m, comfortably enough to qualify in 11th spot.

Athletics team manager Karen Craigie voiced her delight at an "absolutely fantastic" run from Bristow and a terrific performance from Peterson, both of whom are among the younger members of the team.
Running in the 200m heats, Gareth Robertson and Lee Williamson posted times of 23.26 and 23.48 seconds respectively but, having both finished third, narrowly missed qualification. Williamson said it had been really hard going given the warm conditions but he is now focusing on his preferred event, the 100m.
Bill Adams, 62, leaves younger men in his wake. Click on image to enlarge.
Over at the shooting range, Shetland narrowly missed out on a medal when the shooters came fourth in the sporting team event earlier in the day. The swimmers and archers do not get going until Monday morning.
Elsewhere, the isles' table tennis players were whitewashed by Guernsey in their first group match of the team event at the Idrottscenter in Godby on Sunday morning. The 7-0 defeat against strong opponents left them propping up Group B before they took to the table against Greenland later in the day, while they face Faroe, the Isle of Man and Rhodes on Monday.
Sean Grogan and Daniel Mainland both lost their singles matches in straight sets, 3-0, while Mainland and Lynda Flaws also lost 3-0 in the mixed doubles. Flaws did win the opening set of her singles match against Dawn Morgan 11-7, but her opponent stormed back to take the match 3-1. The ladies doubles was a walkover because Flaws has no doubles partner.

While most of Can-Pack's plants in Europe are located in the east, it has been supplying customers in western Europe for many years. The Netherlands and Belgium has a number of beer and beverage canners that fill around 6.3 billion cans a year, mostly for export, making it one of Europe's biggest regional markets.
Can-Pack's Helmond plant is in the Brabant region. The Brabant Development Agency (BOM) worked with the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA), Brainport Development and the city of Helmond, to support Can-Pack in establishing the factory and improving distribution throughout Europe.
In the 25 years since Can-Pack built its first beverage can plant in Poland, it has grown steadily with operations in Romania, Finland, Ukraine, Russia, UAE and the UK. It has a joint venture operation in the Philippines and last year acquired its first plant in South America, the Metalic facility at Fortaleza on the north coast of Brazil and is building a plant in the south.


The Most amazing thing happened this week, I just had to share. I got back from Abuja over the weekend and brought back with me lots of vegetables. Among them spring onions also called scallions. I bought a huge bunch, though it cost me NGN 250 its worth about NGN 2000 here in Lagos- Can't blame a sister.
The main reason I bought the onions is because while I was in the north, spring onions added a certain flavour to dishes especially Indomie. Here in Lagos, when I cut spring onions I can use the same hand to scratch my eyes, nose, pick my teeth and not even notice-just joking but you catch my drift. Unlike the ones grown in the north, you dare not stroke your eyebrows let alone touch your eyes. Your eyes will be too watery for you to see anyway so no chance of that happening. My point is they are almost as spicy as regular onions. They burst with flavour and add a really nice savoury taste to dishes.
So I washed them, cut them into thin slices, shared them into two Ziploc bags and placed them in my deep freezer. The most harrowing thing happened! The next morning I almost threw up when I opened the freezer. The entire freezer smelt of onions! The spring onions didn't spoil, it just decided to prove to me it had an aroma filled nature. l started to rack my brain on what to do-then I remembered on Clara's Corner blackberry group, someone had shared a food tip about putting cut up Irish potatoes in the fridge to rid it of odours. I decided to give it a try, after doubling the nylon and the smell wouldn't go away, what else did I have to loose?
🙂 Didn't have to loose a thing because it worked! On the 2nd day the odour was completely gone! Quite relieving all thanks to our dear Irish potato aka chips /French fries alias odour buster!
I have searched online and can't find any reason why it rid my freezer of onion smell. All I could find were health benefits of grilled or baked potatoes. Will share that with us in our recipe for next week- Chinese Cabbage and Egg plant Stir fry served with baked Irish potatoes! 😉 mouthwatering huh?

Lifelong Learners Join Catherine in Houston
November 17, 2022 Catherine Shaker Seminars Leave a comment
My final seminars for 2022 held at Texas Childrens Hospital in Houston brought together SLPs and OTs from across the US and Canada, including Stephanie, pictured with me above. From new graduates to seasoned therapists, we shared complex patients, and problem-solved the "bigger picture" as our framework for interventions. Such a great opportunity to learn along with each other, and to have the time to grow our critical thinking skills that underpin swallowing and feeding practice, from infants through adolescents. Our conversations and discussions helped each of us realize that the challenges we each face are not unique, and we are all in this together. I can't wait to continue the conversation in 2023!
State-of-the-Art NICU Practice: Catherine Shaker and Suzanne Thoyre

Just returned from Houston after presenting with my colleague, Dr. Suzanne Thoyre, a gifted and remarkable researcher and neonatal nurse. The attendees came from across the US to share our common passion for infant-guided co-regulated feeding in the NICU and after discharge.
Our Early Feeding Skills Assessment Tool was the framework for advancing cue-based feeding, problem-solving challenges in the NICU and beyond, getting everyone "on the same page" through a common language, and supporting parents in building a relationship with their infant through feeding. We all left renewed and empowered to be the change … and with a solid path forward.
Catherine Shaker Seminars: Reinforce Your Intellectual Curiosity !
October 28, 2022 November 17, 2022 Catherine Shaker Seminars Leave a comment
Intellectual curiosity is known as one of the hallmarks of a lifelong learner. The intellectually curious person has a deep and persistent desire to know. She asks and seeks answers to the "why" questions. And she doesn't stop asking at a surface level, but instead asks probing questions in order to peel back layers of explanation to take a deep dive …..and that changes everything.

Catherine Shaker Seminars: "Formula One" Style in Austin!
October 28, 2022 Catherine Shaker Seminars Leave a comment
Formula One, part of the US Grand Prix, came to Austin in October and so did I!
The Feeding and Swallowing Team at Dell Children's were amazing hosts! Speech-Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists joined us from across the US and Canada to learn interactively along with each other, focusing on a wide variety of practice settings. In the Cue Based seminar, Dr Thoyre and I guided the group in higher level conversations about complex feeding challenges in the NICU and after discharge, watching and scoring videos of neonates feeding and problem-solving next steps. In the Pediatric Swallow Studies seminar, we discussed unique components of the swallow pathway across the pediatric age span, and then peeling apart the pathophysiology and its implications. In the Advanced Dysphagia seminar, we looked at critical thinking for decision-making, problem-solving and interventions for our neonatal through school aged patients. It was also a great opportunity to share ways of navigating the practice challenges that each of us faces on a daily basis. It reminded us that we are not alone. One attendee commented: "I feel rejuvenated and validated in my practice, and our conversations reinforced my values as a clinician. " We all walked away feeling renewed.
Practicing at the Top of Your Profession in Feeding/Swallowing
September 6, 2022 September 21, 2022 Catherine Shaker Seminars Leave a comment
An SLP asked recently, "What resources, articles, courses, etc. did you find helpful when you were first learning infant feeding? I'm looking for something to give me what I really need."
"My seminars" I told her, "are designed to do just that. When I created them, and as I update them, I always think 'What do I wish I had known, both research and clinical information, to practice in peds dysphagia when I started out? What is essential to work toward practicing at the top of our professions?' My NICU and Pediatric as well as Advanced seminars, my Peds/ Neonatal Video Swallow Studies and Cue Based seminars are filled with everything I want to pass along. As I learn from colleagues and attendees at my courses, I weave that in as well. Sometimes I almost run out of time!

(-) Historical Women-Church
A Voice of Her Own
By Lorraine Eitel | April 29, 1989
Tischler's book is an intellectual history, acquainting the reader with important women authors throughout history. She also introduces her reader to several important female literary characters.
The Private War of Mrs. Packard: The Dramatic Story of a Nineteenth Century Feminist
Every time discouragement sets in because of the slow progress of egalitarian ideas, we ought to be able to reach over our shoulders and pull from the shelf a book such as Sapinsley's. The story of Mrs. Packard (1816-1897), set in the American midwest, should remind all of us how much has been accomplished by our forebears.
Domestic Violence: What Every Pastor Needs to Know
By Joanne Nystrom Janssen | September 04, 2000
The only thing wrong with Domestic Violence: What Every Pastor Needs to Know is the title. This book contains information essential to every person, not just pastors.
A Hero from Yesterday: Phoebe Palmer's The Promise of the Father
By Martha Berg | October 30, 2000
Palmer's underlying thesis is that the promise of the Father to pour out his Spirit on all flesh, male and female, and that sons and daughters would prophesy, relates to the role of women in the church today.
No Place for Abuse: Biblical & Practical Resources to Counteract Domestic Violence
By Kriss Erickson | September 05, 2001
"When abuse strikes, there is no home." So say Catherine Clark Kroeger and Nancy Nason-Clark in their book, No Place for Abuse. This quote struck me, as I grew up in a fundamentalist church where mentioning some personal abuse brought blame to me and sympathy to my father. This book is refreshing in its directness as it addresses the ticklish issue of how churches have traditionally dealt with abuse.
Women of Influence: Women of Devotion Through the Centuries
By Evelyn Bence | January 30, 2002
Forbes now is in secular academia, teaching rhetoric in writing, and she's turned her research attention to selected women who have unwittingly wielded a great deal of influence if not power, particularly in the twentieth century: devotional writers or compilers.
Single Women: Challenge to the Church?
By Valerie Nystrom | September 04, 2002
Intended for single women and the churches they attend, Single Women: Challenge to the Church? tackles the unique challenges faced by single, Christian women through the eyes of nearly 100 women who were surveyed and interviewed for the project.
Her Story: Autobiographical Portraits of Early Methodist Women
By Ruby Renz | October 30, 2003
Paul Wesley Chilcote has found a treasure trove of autobiographical literature written by Methodist women who lived from the early 1700s to the middle 1800s. Chilcote gives informative introductions to each woman's writings, placing her in her historical context.
Mending the Soul: Understanding and Healing Abuse
By Scarlet Hai Yin Tsao | January 30, 2006
Mending the Soul is a valuable resource not only for abuse survivors and those ministering to them, but also for church leaders who have to explore the uncharted territory of abuse because of love for their congregations.

MA DPH updates indoor mask recommendations for vaccinated residents
By Julianne Lima, Boston 25 News
July 30, 2021 at 6:09 pm EDT
BOSTON — The state's Department of Public Health released updated guidelines on indoor mask-wearing for fully vaccinated individuals Friday.
The department recommended that fully vaccinated individuals wear face coverings indoors when they are not in their own homes if they have weakened immune systems or are at an increased risk because of age or preexisting conditions.
>>>MORE: DESE, DPH unveils new guidance on masks, vaccination clinics for MA schools
DPH also recommended residents wear masks inside when they are not at home if someone in their household has a preexisting condition, a weakened immune system or is unvaccinated.
"All people in Massachusetts (regardless of vaccination status) are required to continue wearing face coverings in certain settings, including transportation and health care facilities," DPH wrote Friday.
"This new guidance was developed to be as simple and as straightforward as possible," said MA Gov. Charlie Baker. "We also tailored it to Massachusetts. We've made significant progress in the COVID fight, we lead the nation in vaccination rates among big states, and, as a result, we have one of the lowest hospitalization rates in the country."
Baker said the advisory is statewide, not just in communities with high transmission rates.
"It shouldn't matter what county you live in or what town you live in, you should just do that because you are in many respects part of the population that has the most to lose here," Baker said.
The recommendation came after a recent report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that discussed the dangers of the new delta variant. The report said the variant can be much more severe, is as contagious as chickenpox and can be easily transmitted by unvaccinated and vaccinated people alike.
In light of this, the CDC issued new guidance that all Americans should wear masks indoors in places where the virus is spreading.
"I just want them to just give us a clear advisory and be consistent," said Shauna Pulley of Woburn. "Just let us know what we need to do, and if it's not changing week from week, that would be very helpful. We're getting adjusted to freedoms and being able to not wear the mask, and all of a sudden we have to wear the mask, then we're back confused. What's the value of getting vaccinated if we have to wear the mask?"

Most web hosting service providers offer two kinds of hosting: Linux hosting and Windows hosting. In general, Linux hosting refers to shared hosting, the most popular hosting service in the industry. In fact, most of the websites are now hosted using Linux hosting due to its affordable price and flexibility. Linux hosting is compatible with PHP and MySQL, which supports scripts such as WordPress, Zen Cart, and phpBB. Windows hosting, on the other hand, uses Windows as the servers' operating system and offers Windows-specific technologies such as ASP, .NET, Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL server (MSSQL).
If my PC runs Windows, do I have to use Windows Hosting?
The answer is NO. The type of hosting you choose has nothing to do with the operating system your PC runs.
Generally speaking, Linux hosting (or shared hosting) is much cheaper than Windows hosting. Why is that?
Linux is a free open source system; therefore, web hosting service providers do not need to pay licensing fees for using Linux as their hosting servers' operating system. Therefore, web hosting providers are able to offer lower prices for this type of web hosting service.
Bottom line: which hosting service should you choose?
These two types of hosting offer the same level of proficiency. So the type of hosting service you choose greatly depends on what kind of technologies your website needs. For example, if you would like to start a blog with WordPress, or setup an online forum using phpBB, then Linux hosting will be a great choice for you. However, if your website requires specific Microsoft technologies such as MSSQL, you are required to use Windows hosting.

NASA to Participate in Tabletop Exercise Simulating Asteroid Impact
UPDATE: 2021 Planetary Defense Conference Hypothetical Asteroid Impact Tabletop Exercise
EXERCISE ONLY – the information listed under this update summarizes details from a simulated asteroid impact exercise during the 7th International Academy of Aeronautics (IAA) Planetary Defense Conference. The fictitious asteroid, named 2021PDC, is being used solely for the purpose of this exercise. It does not exist and therefore there is no threat to Earth.
The 7th IAA Planetary Defense conference kicked off on Monday, April 26, along with the simulated "tabletop" asteroid impact exercise, led by NASA JPL's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS). Exercises such as these are extremely important as they bring key members in government, the international planetary defense community, and other areas of expertise such as emergency response together to work through how a global response to a future asteroid impact threat might occur. During the exercise, participants received daily updates, simulating the continued observation and collection of data over time, revealing more information about the asteroid's size and expected impact region on Earth. A quick summary of daily exercise updates is below, and further information – including daily fact sheets and briefing materials – may be found on the CNEOS asteroid impact exercise page: https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/pd/cs/pdc21/
Day 1 Summary (April 26): The exercise begins with the "discovery" of a fictious asteroid on April 19, 2021, by the Pan-STARRS near-Earth object survey project, operated by the University of Hawaii for NASA's Planetary Defense Program. Confirmed and named "2021PDC," an obvious fictitious name by the Minor Planet Center, the simulated asteroid is estimated to be 35 million miles (57 million kilometers) from Earth at that time, and orbit calculations have determined it to have a 5% (1 in 20 chance) of impacting Earth on or around Oct. 20, 2021, six months from its discovery date.
For more detailed information on Day 1's developments, visit: https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/pd/cs/pdc21/day1.html
Day 2 Summary (April 27): Day two of the exercise hypothetically fast forwards to May 2, 2021, where astronomers have spent the previous week working to refine 2021PDC's orbit and impact probability. Newly processed archival image data collected by the Pan-STARRS asteroid survey back in 2014 reveal 2021PDC could be seen in images seven years prior to discovery, during its previous close approach to Earth, and astronomers have used this data in tandem with recent observations to reduce orbit uncertainties and conclude the simulated asteroid now has a 100% certainty of hitting Earth in Europe or northern Africa. Over the next several months, the region of the fictitious asteroid's impact is expected to shrink significantly in size as new observation data continue to refine the asteroid's orbit. However, the size of 2021PDC – and subsequently, any effects that would result from its impact – remain highly uncertain and will not be well known until the asteroid is closer to Earth and able to be analyzed using radar. Hypothetical options for how to prevent 2021PDC impacting Earth are discussed. Space mission designers tried to envision what might be done to attempt to disrupt the asteroid before it impacts, but concluded the short amount of time before impact (less than 6 months) did not allow a credible space mission to be undertaken, given the current state of technology.
Day 3 of Exercise (April 28): Day three begins on June 30, 2021 – International Asteroid Day – which is less than four months prior to fictitious asteroid 2021PDC's simulated impact. Using the world's largest telescopes, astronomers around the globe have continued to track 2021PDC every night to continually refine the asteroid's orbit and significantly narrow its expected impact region to fall within Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovenia, and Croatia. The specific size of asteroid 2021PDC is still uncertain, but new space-based infrared measurements simulated by NASA's NEOWISE satellite have helped constrain the largest possible size for 2021PDC as 1600ft (500 m), and the smallest possible size as 100 feet (35 meters). As more information is ascertained by incoming data, risk and damage assessment analyses increase in frequency to help inform emergency response and evacuation planning for regions affected by the simulated asteroid's region of impact effects.
For more detailed information on Day 3's developments, visit:
https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/pd/cs/pdc21/day3.html
Day 4 of Exercise (April 29): The final day of the hypothetical asteroid impact exercise occurs on Oct.14, 2021, just six days before 2021PDC's simulated impact. 2021PDC is an estimated 3.9 million miles (6.3 million km) from Earth, which is close enough for Goldstone Solar System Radar to detect and analyze 2021PDC and significantly refine the asteroid's size and physical characteristics. This determined the asteroid is much smaller than previously thought, thus reducing the expected region of damage from the impact. At this point, astronomers have been able to narrow the impact region to be centered near the border of Germany, the Czech Republic, and Austria, and have determined the asteroid has a 99% probability of impacting within this region. Further disaster response discussions occur to help ensure affected regions are safely evacuated ahead of the simulated impact.

Posted on April 21, 2021:
During the week of April 26, members of NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) will participate in a "tabletop exercise" to simulate an asteroid impact scenario. The exercise depicting this fictional event is being led by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), allowing NASA's PDCO and other U.S. agencies and space science institutions, along with international space agencies and partners, to use the fictitious scenario to investigate how near-Earth object (NEO) observers, space agency officials, emergency managers, decision makers, and citizens might respond and work together to an actual impact prediction and simulate the evolving information that becomes available in the event an asteroid impact threat is discovered.
The fictitious impact scenario will occur during the 7th IAA Planetary Defense Conference, hosted by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs in cooperation with ESA (European Space Agency), and will evolve over the five days of the conference, starting Monday, April 26. At several points in the conference program, leaders of the exercise will brief participants on the latest status of the fictitious scenario and solicit feedback for next steps based on the simulated data that is "discovered" each day. These type of exercises are specifically identified as part of the National Near-Earth Object Preparedness Strategy and Action Plan developed over a three-year period and published by the White House in June 2018.

"Each time we participate in an exercise of this nature, we learn more about who the key players are in a disaster event, and who needs to know what information, and when," said Lindley Johnson, NASA's Planetary Defense Officer. "These exercises ultimately help the planetary defense community communicate with each other and with our governments to ensure we are all coordinated should a potential impact threat be identified in the future."
So far, NASA has participated in seven impact scenarios – four at previous Planetary Defense Conferences (2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019) and three in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The joint NASA-FEMA exercises included representatives of several other federal agencies, including the Departments of Defense and State.
"Hypothetical asteroid impact exercises provide opportunities for us to think about how we would respond in the event that a sizeable asteroid is found to have a significant chance of impacting our planet," said Dr. Paul Chodas, director of CNEOS. "Details of the scenario – such as the probability of the asteroid impact, where and when the impact might occur – are released to participants in a series of steps over the days of the conference to simulate how a real situation might evolve."
The fictional scenario kicks off on April 26, when astronomers "discover" a potentially hazardous NEO considered a risk to Earth. Details about the imaginary asteroid's threat to our planet will evolve over the days of the conference, and exercise participants will discuss potential preparations for asteroid reconnaissance and deflection missions and planning for mitigation of a potential impact's effects. But it is a real parameter that the international community has decided that a 1 in 100 chance of impact is the threshold to begin response actions.
The Planetary Defense Conference and its exercise serve as precursors to the launch of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), which is the first-ever actual demonstration of an asteroid deflection technology, and the first test mission of the agency's Planetary Defense program. DART is scheduled to launch later this year and will impact the asteroid Dimorphos in Fall 2022 to change its orbit in space, which could be a key technique for mitigating a potentially hazardous asteroid that is on a collision path with Earth, should one be discovered in the future. Through an international observation campaign, follow-up observations of Dimorphos using ground-based telescopes will monitor the orbit of Dimorphos and measure the change in time it takes the asteroid to orbit its larger companion, Didymos, due to DART's impact.
"DART will be the first test for planetary defense, and the data returned after it impacts Dimorphos will help scientists better understand one way we might mitigate a potentially hazardous NEO discovered in the future," said Andrea Riley, program executive for DART at NASA Headquarters. "While the asteroid DART impacts poses no threat to Earth, it is in a perfect location for us to perform this test of the technology before it may actually be needed."
Starting April 26, this page will be updated during the week with quick snapshots that capture the results from each step of the exercise. More information on the exercise, including a "fact sheet" of updated findings, will be available on the exercise page on the 2021 PDC Hypothetical Asteroid Impact Scenario page.

Our world has gone completely online with everything we could possibly want just a click away. Many new business work hard to pick a name that conveys the brand image they want but many do not think about their domain name. Many domains are already taken as you will see in the infographic so choosing a common business name will be hard to carry over into a domain name. This infographic breaks down the question of what should come first, your business or your domain name.
The design for this infographic takes a simple approach with plain images that help to convey the subject. None of the images jump out at me but they do not take away from the information. The great background gives this infographic a technical feel and like the bright yellow and pink against the background. It makes the information standout.
The information is good and helpful for businesses who may have never thought of their domain name. This infographic shows why it is so important to choose a good domain name first because there is so much competition for domain names. I like that the infographic uses statistics and facts to convince readers of the importance of choosing a domain name. The information does a good job of explaining domain registrations and how there are options to choosing a good domain after you have selected a business name.


Tim Rodmaker is in the business of making baseball players stronger, more agile and just plain physically better.
A strength and conditioning coach in the Chicago White Sox system since the 2006 season, Rodmaker looks to exploit athlete's strengths while improving upon their weaknesses.
Just because a guy can lift every weight at the gym doesn't mean he skips cardio or vice versa.
Rodmaker, a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist with the National Strength and Conditioning Association, does this be observing and then consulting with the player.
Rodmaker also welcomes input from managers, coaches and roving instructors.
Once a plan is formed, Rodmaker and the player go forward with it. To make it work, the athlete must be committed to it.
There are specific skill sets and strength and conditioning needs for baseball players, depending on their role. It might be third baseman or relief pitcher or designated hitter.
All of them will be asked to achieve a range of motion and strength in that motion that relates to their position.
For this reason, a balance must be struck between aerobic and anaerobic conditioning.
A typical day when the Barons are at home is a long one for Rodmaker.
With a 7:05 p.m. game time, he gets to the ballpark around 11 a.m. to get his own workout in and begin preparing for the arrival of players.
Most players in the White Sox system prefer to lift before the game and that begins around 1 p.m. Stretching for pitchers and position players is at 3:30. Pitchers do conditioning work during batting practice.
After a pre-game meal, starting pitchers will work out under Rodmaker's supervision.
Pre-game routines start around 6:40.
During the game, the strength and conditioning coach is back in observation mode.
"I see if what we're doing is paying off," says Rodmaker.
Some players will choose to lift after the game. At this point, it's 11:30 or midnight.
On the road, the schedule is condensed. The team usually finds a local gym for a 10 a.m. workout.
While even teams at the professional level think about financial constraints, it's the time limitations that Rodmaker focuses on.
He says to focus on the big movements that will give the athlete the most bang for their buck.
These exercises require no equipment at all.
"They can show up at the park and do this stuff," says Rodmaker.
He has also found that he does not like to use cones when doing agility work.
Rodmaker is a 2000 graduate of Floyd Central High School, where he was in wrestling for four seasons (making it as far as regional) and baseball for one season. He graduated from Indiana University in 2005, earning a B.S. in Exercise Science with a minor in psychology and a certificate from the Kelly School of Business.
Besides baseball, where he has served as a trainer in Bristol, Great Falls, Kannapolis and Winston-Salem prior to Birmingham, he has worked in the off-season with Baseball Europe and the U.S. Paralympic Alpine Ski team. He has also helped at the University of Louisville, Bellarmine University and Spalding University.
Tim and Alex Rodmaker reside in Georgetown with their three daughters — Eli (3), Frankie (2) and Von (9 months).
• Jog lap around the warning track (build up sprints and the end of stretch).
• Skip, forward, backward, side-to-side.
• Backpedal (with change of direction.
• Ankle circles (both directions).
• Lunge (with reach to the sky paired with (straight front leg) triangle pose.
• Up, Down and Around (both directions).
• Squat and reach (with twist).
• Knees to chest (marching).
• Quad stretch (with reach).
• Arm circles (small/big, both directions).
• Pec stretch (ALL angles).
• Internal/external rotation at 90/90 (walk a lap after practice, then speak to group).
Goal – Increase confidence and ability to run on edges of feet/lateral lean/maintaining speed.
Goal – Change of direction, body awareness, energy absorption and redirection.
• Juggling solo or with partner.
• Squat jump with 1/4 or 1/2 twist.
Tim Rodmaker, a graduate of Floyd Central High School in Floyds Knobs, Ind., and Indiana University has been a strength and conditioning coach in the Chicago White Sox system since the 2006 season.
