Christine Ijeoma Chika Ohuruogu (Londen, 17 mei 1984) is een voormalige Britse sprintster van Nigeriaanse afkomst, die was gespecialiseerd in de 400 m. Ze werd olympisch kampioene en wereldkampioene in deze discipline. Ze nam viermaal deel aan de Olympische Spelen en won, naast haar olympische titel, in totaal nog drie andere medailles, waarvan twee op de 4 x 400 m estafette. Ook bij andere gelegenheden boekte zij vele successen op dit onderdeel.

Biografie

Jeugd
Christine Ohuruogu is in Londen geboren als kind van Nigeriaanse ouders. Ze groeide op minder dan een mijl van het olympisch stadion in Stratford. Ze studeerde taalkunde aan het University College London. Daar deed Christine Ohuruogu aan netbal, maar stopte hier in 2003 mee om zich op atletiek toe te leggen.

Haar eerste internationale succes was het behalen van een bronzen medaille op de 400 m met een tijd van 54,21 s tijdens de Europese kampioenschappen voor junioren in 2003 in het Finse Tampere.

Senioren
In 2004 nam Ohuruogu deel aan de Olympische Spelen van Athene, maar werd in de halve finale van de 400 m uitgeschakeld. Ze eindigde in haar halve finale als vierde in 51,00. De finale haalde ze wel op de 4 x 400 m estafette, waarin zij met haar team vierde werd.

Na op de wereldkampioenschappen van 2005 in Helsinki op de 400 m opnieuw niet verder te zijn gekomen dan de halve finale, won Ohuruogu een bronzen medaille op de 4 x 400 m estafette samen met haar teamgenotes Lee McConnell, Donna Fraser en Nicola Sanders.

Op de 400 m tijdens de Gemenebestspelen 2006 veroverde Christine Ohuruogu goud in een persoonlijk record van 50,28. Ze versloeg hiermee de favoriete Tonique Williams-Darling. Ze was op deze Spelen bovendien de laatste loopster van het Britse 4 x 400 m estafetteteam, dat in eerste instantie de wedstrijd leek te hebben gewonnen. Naderhand bleek echter, dat bij het overgeven van de estafettestokjes de Engelse ploeg op de verkeerde plek had gestaan, waardoor het Australische team op onreglementaire wijze werd gehinderd. Het Britse viertal werd vervolgens gediskwalificeerd.

Schorsing
In augustus 2006 werd Ohuruogu door de IAAF voor een jaar geschorst wegens het missen van drie "out-of-competition" dopingtesten (één oktober 2005, twee in juni 2006). Door de British Olympic Association werd ze levenslang uitgesloten voor de Olympische Spelen. Dit laatste vocht ze aan bij het Hof van Arbitrage voor Sport, maar verloor deze zaak. Het beroep dat zij hier vervolgens tegen aantekende, eindigde wél in haar voordeel: het beroepspanel besloot dat er voldoende verzachtende omstandigheden waren om de schorsing te beëindigen.

Comeback
Haar schorsing door de IAAF liep op 5 augustus 2007 af. Een dag hierna werd ze geselecteerd voor het Britse team en op 29 augustus 2007 won ze op de WK in Osaka onverwachts de wereldtitel op de 400 m. Haar landgenote Nicola Sanders won het zilver. Als klap op de vuurpijl snelde zij vervolgens op de 4 x 400 m estafette, samen met Marilyn Okoro, Lee McConnell en Nicola Sanders, ook nog eens naar de bronzen medaille in de nationale recordtijd van 3.20,04.Een jaar later was zij op de Olympische Spelen van 2008 in Peking opnieuw de sterkste op de 400 m. Met een tijd van 49,62 veroverde zij de gouden medaille en versloeg ze de Jamaicaanse Shericka Williams (zilver; 49,69) en de Amerikaanse Sanya Richards (brons; 49,93). Vervolgens was er ook nog een brons voor haar weggelegd op de 4 x 400 m, al hoorde zij dit pas jaren later. Aanvankelijk was zij met haar teamgenotes Kelly Sotherton, Marilyn Okoro en Nicola Sanders namelijk vijfde geworden in 3.22,68. Pas in 2017 werden twee landen, Rusland en Wit-Rusland gediskwalificeerd, nadat dopinggebruik was vastgesteld. Hierdoor schoof de Britse ploeg op naar de derde plaats.

WK 2009
Op de WK van 2009 in Berlijn gold Ohuruogu op basis van haar in Peking opgebouwde status vanzelfsprekend als favoriete voor de eindzege op de 400 m. Die verwachting maakte ze niet waar. Hoewel zij in de finale van dit atletiekonderdeel met 50,21 haar beste seizoenstijd realiseerde, had zij minstens 0,6 seconde sneller moeten lopen om in de prijzen te vallen. Nu ging de overwinning naar Sanya Richards, die met 49,00 de beste wereldjaarprestatie neerzette. De Britse olympische kampioene werd vijfde. Op de 4 x 400 m estafette eindigde het Britse vrouwenteam met Christine Ohuruogu in de gelederen in 3.25,16 als vierde en ook hier viel ze dus buiten de medailles. Ook ditmaal speelde echter een diskwalificatie het Britse viertal jaren later in de kaart. Het Russische kwartet werd, nadat een dopingovertreding was geconstateerd bij Anastasia Kapatsjinskaja, een van de Russische vier in 2009, in 2016 alsnog gediskwalificeerd. Hierdoor kreeg de Britse ploeg, net als het jaar ervoor op de Spelen in Peking, een tweede bronzen medaille in de schoot geworpen.

WK 2011
In 2011 nam Ohuruogu op de 400 m en de 4 x 400 m estafette deel aan de WK in Daegu. Op de individuele 400 m was ze gauw klaar, want in haar serie werd zij vanwege een valse start gediskwalificeerd. Op de 4 x 400 m deed ze het beter. Samen met Perri Shakes-Drayton, Nicola Sanders en Lee McConnell snelde zij in 3.23,63 naar de vierde plaats. Jaren later bleek die om dezelfde reden als op de WK van twee jaar eerder opnieuw brons te hebben opgeleverd.

OS 2012
In 2012 kwam tijdens de WK indoor de overwinning op de 4 x 400 m estafette echter tot stand in een rechtstreeks duel, zonder diskwalificaties. In 3.28,76, op dat moment de snelste tijd van het jaar, waren Shana Cox, Nicola Sanders, Christine Ohuruogu en Perri Shakes-Drayton iedereen te snel af.Later dat jaar, op de Olympische Spelen van 2012 in Londen, nam Ohuruogu deel aan de 400 m en de 4 x 400 m estafette. Op de 400 m won ze een zilveren medaille. Met een tijd van 49,70 finishte ze achter de Amerikaanse Sanya Richards-Ross (goud; 49,55) en voor de Amerikaanse DeeDee Trotter (brons; 49,72). Op de estafette werd ze met haar teamgenotes Shana Cox, Lee McConnell en Perri Shakes-Drayton vijfde in 3.24,76. De wedstrijd werd gewonnen door het Amerikaanse estafetteteam in 3.16,87. Jaren later werd ook deze estafette-uitslag, door een doping-misstap van de Russische Kapatsjinskaja en de daaruit voortvloeiende diskwalificatie van het als tweede geëindigde Russische team, opgewaardeerd naar een vierde plaats.

WK 2013
Ohuruogu sleepte in 2013 haar tweede outdoorwereldtitel binnen bij de WK van Moskou. Ze liep in de finale van de 400 m een tijd van 49,41, dezelfde tijd als de nummer twee Amantle Montsho, tevens een Brits record. Uit de finishfoto bleek, dat Ohuruogu 0,004 seconden sneller was geweest dan Montsho. Later in het toernooi viel Ohuruogu ook bij de estafette in de prijzen: het Britse team, naast Ohuruogu bestaande uit Eilidh Child, Shana Cox en Margaret Adeoye, werd derde achter Rusland en de Verenigde Staten. In 2017 was er echter opnieuw sprake van een opwaardering van deze prestatie, ditmaal omdat na het hertesten van bewaarde monsters van de Russin Antonina Krivosjapka uit 2012 was gebleken, dat deze een verboden middel had gebruikt. Als gevolg daarvan werd de Russin geschorst en het Russische team uit de uitslag geschrapt. Hierdoor schoof het Britse viertal door naar de tweede plaats.

OS 2016
Op de Olympische Spelen van 2016 nam Ohuruogu deel aan de 400 m en de 4 x 400 m estafette. Op de 400 m sneuvelde ze in de halve finale met een tijd van 51,22. Op de estafette verging het haar beter. Met een tijd van 3.24,81 in de kwalificatieronde plaatste het Britse team zich voor de finale. Daarin liepen Eilidh Doyle, Anyika Onuora, Emily Diamond en Christine Ohuruogu met 3.25,88 weliswaar langzamer, maar veroverden zij hiermee desalniettemin een bronzen medaille. Het goud ging naar de Amerikaanse estafetteploeg, die in 3.19,06 over de finish kwam.

Einde atletiekloopbaan
In 2017 wist Ohuruogu zich niet te kwalificeren voor de WK in eigen land. Zij was daar overigens wel aanwezig om diverse estafette-medailles in ontvangst te nemen, die als gevolg van in later jaren opgelegde diskwalificaties alsnog naar de diverse Britse ploegen waren gegaan waarvan Ohuguoru deel had uitgemaakt.

In juni 2018 maakte Ohuruogu, op de eerste dag van de Britse kampioenschappen, bekend dat zij, gedwongen door blessures en de tijd die haar studie haar kostte, een punt had gezet achter haar atletiekloopbaan.

ORF, open reading frame
PD, Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's disease (PD; OMIM #168600) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterised by bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscle rigidity, and postural instability. The pathological features include loss of dopaminergic neurones, in particular within the substantia nigra pars compacta, and eosinophilic, cytoplasmic inclusions termed Lewy bodies.1 Although rare, familial forms of parkinsonism provide a powerful tool to determine the molecular pathways perturbed in idiopathic PD.2,3
Three loci have been associated with autosomal recessive early onset parkinsonism (EO-PD): parkin (PARK2),4 the as yet unidentified PARK6,5 and DJ-1 (PARK7).6 Loss of Parkin function is the predominant genetic cause of EO-PD in Japanese, Northern European, North American, and North African populations. Homozygous and compound heterozygous parkin mutations account for approximately 49% of familial and 19% of sporadic EO-PD (with onset prior to 45 years).7–13 Although the gene has yet to be identified, linkage analysis of chromosome 1p36 interval suggests that PARK6 mutations may also account for numerous families with EO-PD across Europe.14 Most recently, mutations in DJ-1 (PARK7) were identified in consanguineous Dutch and Italian kindreds affected with EO-PD. In the Dutch kindred, a 14 kb genomic deletion removed the promoter region and the first five exons (Δ1−5). In the Italian kindred, a highly conserved amino acid (leucine) was altered to proline (497 bp T→C; L166P). This substitution was predicted to disrupt protein folding and was demonstrated to affect cellular localisation.6 Both mutations showed complete segregation with disease in homozygous individuals, while heterozygous carriers were unaffected, suggesting that loss of function of DJ-1 is pathogenic. To date, DJ-1 Δ1–5 and 497 bp T→C (L166P) mutations have only been reported in the original Dutch and Italian families and in ethnically matched control individuals.6 There have been no reports on the frequency of DJ-1 …

Now I'm not a scrapbooker, nor am I a Project Lifer, but I do like a new challenge. And there's a Project Life challenge at Little Tangles as part of their month-long Birthday Bash.
I like the idea of Project Life layouts compared to scrapbook layouts. The PL cards are 2x3 so it's a great way to use up scraps of card, it's a small canvas to work on, it's no big deal if one doesn't turn out, and you could always use them as the focus of a card if you're not into Project Life albums. So I had a go. And couldn't stop.
Everyday Circles, Spellbinders circle die, ribbed red card.
Everyday Circles, drew a face, coloured cheeks and drew a border.
This stamp is the ideal size for a PL card!
Fresh Blooms (that flower reminded me of a bird, added an eye, a beak, some legs and a leaf/wing), washi tape, dotted border.
Love these mini cards! They look great all placed together-- so fun and trendy!
These are so much fun! I love how you made your own PL cards, and like you said, they'll be great for a focal point on a card.
How absolutely CUTE are these! Fabulous!!
Wowsers - you totally rocked this, Shirley! thanks for being so enthusiastic about our Birthday Bash and its challenges. I enjoy your entries very much and you're chockful of inspiration! These PL cards are perfect.
Super FUN...love seeing them all together!


Argh, who decided it would be fun to make me close on a Saturday… - Crochet, Starbucks and roadtrips, oh my!
Argh, who decided it would be fun to make me close on a Saturday night and then open on Sunday??
I need a nap already.

With over 285 million views, Wayne Goss has established himself as one of the web's most watchable makeup artists. The most subscribed male beauty blogger on YouTube, the new Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Pro Expert and makeup brush founder's portfolio of top tutorials has provided a legion of loyal fans with the tools and techniques needed to make the art of makeup, that much more accessible.
So who better to talk all things beauty vlogging with than the man himself? From how to get started to getting the upper hand on online trolls, to standing out from the competition to finding your voice, we delved into Wayne's world to find out his top 10 tips for carving a successful online career both in front of and behind the camera's lens.
The world of beauty is ever-evolving and with people drawing inspiration from runways and red carpets alike, staying on top of what's trending could give your videos the SEO step above the competition as your audience begins to grow. "Being on top of trends is great for giving traffic a boost," says Wayne. "Anything current will trend more than something that isn't." Think celebrity makeup looks from high profile events or recent music videos for what will be influential in the style and search stakes.
Has he ever been tempted to retaliate? "You sometimes feel the need to justify yourself and there have been times where I've done a video and just made reference to it at the beginning or at the end, but you don't want to do anything that might fuel the fire because they want the response. There's a saying, 'Never wrestle with a pig because then you get dirty' – but that's easier said than done! Sometimes I do, but most of the time, I stay quiet and do what I need to do – block or monitor their comments so they believe that they're writing to me, but their posts don't show up on my page unless I personally allow it." An effective plan of action if you're worried blocking them straight away might worsen the situation.

This whole thing kind of boggles my mind. How can the "choreographer" take pride in their work knowing it isn't really theirs? I mean congrats you copied the choreography dead on, but that's about all you really did. I bet it would have been easier to come up with simple yet affective two steps for these "talented" dancers than taking the time to learn my routine off of youtube anyway. If you like the choreography that much then why not do it to the song it was intended for? There was a lot of thought put into the movements that directly correlated to the actual song. Now the choreography means nothing at all. I mean sure it gets the job done but it's just movement now. No meaning, no depth, no substance, just movement. From the looks of things they have a pretty big budget so why not just ask me to do something for the artist. I would be more than happy and being that i am not considered a big name i would have probably been cheaper than anyone else.
All I gotta say is …..
A couple of days ago the situation of Super Junior taking choreographer Lyle Beniga's "mic check" and "nike boots" choreography was brought to light. Many fans were upset that people like us were saying that they jacked his choreo and were upset at it.
While our opinion doesn't matter and the only opinion that does matter is Lyle's, he tweeted a short answer to answer the question about SuJu copying his choreo.
Don't mind the thing above it… he tweeted this yesterday.
While I'm not sure if he meant to say "it doesn't" or "it does," that's his answer.
By the way, we still think you need to get paid for those two that they took. You earned it!
Okay so maybe not all the heads, but BIG store in Shibuya is playing 2NE1 and giving them some pretty good promotions. Since YG has a headquarters in Japan it won't be surprising to see the ladies of 2NE1 to follow in their sunbae's footsteps.
Next stop: Japan.. after that .. well who knows where ever YG takes them! Hopefully here in the U.S. of A!
So it wasn't just that one choreography that Super Junior took, earlier in 2009, Eunhyuk of Super Junior used Lyle Beniga's "Nike Boots" choreo on another show.
While the fans of SuJu are saying it's not a big deal, but this is twice now they've taken a choreography that isn't their's and performed it on national television. That is a big deal to the dance community, it's disrespectful. Yes everyone always copies someone, that's a given, but not everyone belongs to a famous group or to a global agency. I didn't like SuJu before, just because I don't like their music, but I have lost mad respect for them.
Lyle needs to get paid! That and maybe SM needs to hire him, oh wait they won't because he choreo's for the better group.

Student Internship Program Big Success at Aux Sable
Aux Sable is proud to participate in the Grundy County Summer internship Program. In 2013, the organization brought in four students through the program to work at our facilities in Channahon, Illinois. Working in roles within the Information and Technology, Engineering, Legal and Accounting departments, students were matched to fields in which they had indicated a desire to pursue after high school.
Pipeline to a Quality Workforce
Aux Sable has worked closely with the Illinois State Government to play a key role in helping establish the Grundy County Summer Internship Program. The summer internship program provides a pathway to connect Grundy County businesses with a talented, future workforce. The program is a cooperative initiative led by local government and community leaders in business and education.
The Grundy County Internship Program is focused on bringing value to both the student and the business. "The business commits to provide a quality work experience while the education community commits to sending pre-screened, hardworking and high performing students", says Scott Seibert, Manager Government and Public Affairs. "The junior and senior students come from the four area high schools (Coal City, Gardner-South Wilmington, Minooka and Morris) and the Grundy Area Vocational Center (GAVC)". Although not a requirement, many of these students have initiated academic preparation for their respective fields of interest prior to pursuing the internship.
Aux Sable will be participating in the program again in 2014.

In this research, L-arginine-modified silica (SiO2-Arg) with 3-glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as the linking agent has been synthesized through sol gel process for adsorption of Au(III) in aqueous solution. Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the silica source precursor, L-arginine solution 0.9 M with various volume ratios and the linking agent were mixed together to form a gel. SiO2-Arg was characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and an elemental analysis. Adsorption was carried out in a batch system under various experimental conditions including contact time and initial concentration of metal Au(III). The selectivity of adsorbent toward Au(III) was examined in the presence of Cu(II), Fe(III), and Zn(II) ion at various pHs. Results of characterization showed that silica has been successfully modified with L-arginine. The optimum adsorption of Au(III) on SiO2-Arg was obtained at pH of 3.0 and the adsorption isotherm of Au(III) on SiO2-Arg gives the adsorption capacity of 52.79 mg/g. The kinetic study demonstrates that the adsorption of Au(III) ion follows pseudo-second order with the rate constant of 53197 g mol–1 min–1. The selectivity order of Au-Zn = Au-Cu > Au-Fe. This sol-gel preparation is simple and provides prospective application of SiO2-Arg material as an effective adsorbent for metal ions particularly gold(III).

UK 2017 Cannes Lions haul declines by a fifth
by Emily Tan June 29, 2017
'We're the superhumans': 4Creative and Blink share the Film Grand Prix
4Creative was the only UK agency to pick up a Grand Prix, down from three shops last year. State Street Global Advisors was the most-awarded brand.
The UK's Cannes Lions haul fell by a fifth as agencies brought home 31 fewer trophies.
UK shops picked up 119 Lions compared with 150 last year. This year, two Grands Prix were shared between four UK creative companies. The UK won six Grands Prix last year.
Channel 4's in-house division, 4Creative, was the only agency to win a Grand Prix, beating more traditional shops. It also picked up four golds and six silvers.
4Creative shared the Film Grand Prix with Blink for Channel 4's "We're the superhumans" to promote its coverage of the Rio Paralympics. Blink is second on the UK medals table. It also picked up two golds, one silver and one bronze.
Sharing the UK's other Grand Prix were Analog and W&N Studio, which were awarded the Digital Craft Grand Prix for Björk's virtual-reality music video NotGet.
While Adam & Eve/DDB brought home the UK's biggest Lions haul with 24 gongs, it did not win a Grand Prix this year. The agency picked up three golds, ten silvers and 11 bronzes for brands including Skittles, John Lewis and H&M.
Last year, Adam & Eve/DDB won two Grands Prix.
Investment group State Street Global Advisors tops the awards table ranked by brands. Its "Fearless Girl" was by far the most-awarded marketing activity at Cannes, winning three Grands Prix, nine golds, two silvers and one bronze.
In second and third place on the brands table are Burger King and Boost Mobile respectively, with two Grands Prix apiece.
Other brands that took home a Grand Prix include Australia's Transport Accident Commission Victoria, Colombian telecoms company Tigo-Une and Twitter.
BBDO was the most-awarded network at Cannes, with 144 Lions across the festival's 24 categories.
WPP, however, was named the top holding company for the seventh year in a row, with Omnicom in second place and Interpublic in third.
Campaign does not include Health & Wellness, Pharma and PR Lions in its tally. If all 24 categories were included, the UK's number of awards climbs to 131, making it the world's second-most-awarded country after the US.

On February 3rd Magistrate Judge Mark Able of the U.S. District Court in Columbus ruled that Ohio EPA (and really the Ohio General Assembly) violated that federal Clean Air Act by exempting small air pollution sources from stringent air pollution requirements. At issue was one major overhaul of Ohio's air regulation included in state legislation (Senate Bill 265) back in 2006. The law was designed to reduce the regulatory burden on small businesses.
The provision exempted small air pollution sources, those that emit less than 10 tons per year, from the requirement to install Best Available Control Technology (BAT). These sources would still be required to install air pollution control equipment. However, these small sources could avoid the more time consuming BAT permitting process.
I was Director of Ohio EPA when Senate Bill 265 was passed. The complaint regarding BAT was that it resulted in uncertain regulatory requirements for business. Upon receipt of an air permit for a small air pollution source, Ohio EPA would have to decide on a individual case-by-case basis which pollution controls were the most stringent for that particular source.
Businesses complained that the determinations as to what constituted BAT were inconsistent among Ohio EPA's five district offices. They also complained that businesses would not be able to plan ahead of time for the types of controls to install. Rather, business would be forced to wait until Ohio EPA concluded its evaluation.
To reduce the regulatory burden, Ohio businesses sought two major reforms regarding BAT in Senate Bill 265. The General Assembly passed the bill which included the following.
Exempt all sources smaller than 10 tons from having to install BAT.
After August 2009, Ohio EPA could only require BAT on larger sources (greater than 10 tons) through specific rulemaking for those types of sources.
The goal of reducing the regulatory burden was understandable. However, there is a long standing tenant in the federal Clean Air Act that restricts the ability of State's to change pollution control strategies to achieve federal clean air standards. This is referred to as "anti-backsliding."
"Anti-Backsliding"- If you drop an air pollution requirement, you must make up for those lost reductions through alternative control strategies.
The best example of this perhaps is E-check, the automobile tail pipe test that used to be required in Cleveland, Dayton and Cincinnati. E-check was dropped in Dayton and Cincinnati after the 10 year contract expired. In order to drop the program, Ohio EPA was forced to make up the lost reductions through new air pollution control requirements. One new requirement used to replace E-check was the requirement to use less polluting gasoline (RVP gas) in the summer months in Dayton and Cincinnati.
Ohio EPA failed to adopt replacement strategies after the General Assembly dropped BAT on sources less than 10 tons. It is my understanding, that Ohio EPA never actually even quantified the lost reductions attributable to dropping the BAT requirement. U.S. EPA put Ohio EPA on notice this past summer that it failed to address the "anti-backsliding" issue.
Ohio EPA's failure to adopt new controls to replace BAT- a violation of the "anti-backsliding" principal- was one of the reasons Magistrate Abel struck down the provision as a violation of the Federal Clean Air Act. According to a recent newspaper article, Ohio EPA has decided to stop issuing permits for small sources while it figures out how to address the decision.
The agency said Wednesday it won't authorize any new or expanded emissions from small sources until the ramifications of the decision are understood. Spokeswoman Heidi Griesmer said the agency has temporarily suspended issuing permits.
"These are small sources of pollution," she said. "We will be complying with the judge's orders but we're right now looking through the decision and figuring out how to do that…"
Griesmer said it was impossible to determine immediately on Wednesday how many exemptions the state has granted to small source polluters. The agency estimates it will take two weeks to mine through its permit database and count them all, she said.
The Agency will be forced to decide what to do with hundreds of permits it issued in the last three years in which BAT was not required. Does Ohio EPA go back and revoke those permits requiring businesses to install different air pollution controls?
Does the Agency still try and comply with Legislative mandate to eliminate BAT for small sources? If so, what new air pollution control requirements will it adopt to replace BAT for sources less than 10 tons.
What about permits already in the system that were about to be issued? No doubt the Agency will be forced to go back and determine BAT delaying these permits by many months.
This is just a sample of the issues facing EPA after S.B. 265. Next up- The second major reform in S.B. 265 that prevents Ohio EPA from requiring BAT on sources larger than 10 tons per year unless done through rulemaking.

The ending aside, W&M is proud of a nine-win season and playoff bid
By Dave Johnson
djohnson@dailypress.com |
WILLIAMSBURG — Of the 24 teams that made the FCS playoffs, all but one will finish their seasons in defeat. William and Mary was one of the 96 percent.
The endings are what everyone remembers, and last week's 48-13 loss to Richmond will stick with the Tribe like a bad oyster. But there are the good things, like a nine-win season for only the eighth time since 1948. Like making the program's 10th playoff appearance (and advancing a round).
And like the Colonial Athletic Association championship, even if it was a three-way tie.
"I think it was very successful," W&M coach Jimmye Laycock said. "Obviously, you'd like to do better at the end, but you can't just look at one game here, one game there. You have to look at the whole year and what the players accomplished. And I think that's quite a bit.
"We keep a board in the locker room as far as the best teams in William and Mary history, and you have to have seven wins to get on that board. That's a pretty select group. Yeah, it was a good year."
Four weeks in, the Tribe was 2-2 after an unexpected loss at Delaware. From there, W&M reeled off six consecutive wins, including a 44-41 thriller over No. 9 James Madison. From unranked in September, William and Mary rose to No. 7 in the polls.
A 20-9 Nov. 21 loss at Richmond cost the Tribe an outright conference championship and first-round bye, but the program's first playoff bid in five years still came. In the first round, W&M won a wild one over Duquesne 52-49.
Then again came Richmond, the Tribe's kryptonite of late. It was W&M's largest margin of defeat to an FCS opponent in eight years.
Through it all, the Tribe stayed together.
"That's the dynamics that develop, really," Laycock said. "I'd say that's been a characteristic of our really good teams. They like each other, they like playing with each other, they like hanging out with each other. There was no jealousy or animosity or divisiveness."
Nowhere was that more evident than the tailback position. Senior Mikal Abdul-Saboor rushed for 1,266 yards in 2014 and had high expectations for this season. But he sprained his ankle in the third game, which opened the door for junior Kendell Anderson.
Abdul-Saboor only missed one game, but it was at least three weeks before he was the same runner again. By that point, Anderson had become one of the nation's top rushers. So Abdul-Saboor was mostly the second-team back the rest of the way.
But he never complained. In fact, teammates said he and Anderson were as close as ever.
As with any season, there will be seniors leaving who will be hard to replace. Center Andrew Jones, defensive tackle Tyler Claytor, linebacker Luke Rhodes and safety DeAndre Houston-Carson, for example — each first-team All-CAA.
But barring the unexpected, W&M will return nine starters on offense. Among them: quarterback Steve Cluley, who has started 25 consecutive games, wideout DeVonte Dedmon, who caught a team-leading 51 passes this season, and Anderson. Seven starters should return on defense.
Also expected back: kicker Nick Dorka, who was 21 of 25 on field-goal attempts, and punter Hunter Windmuller, who averaged 43.8 yards per attempt. Dedmon was the CAA's Special Teams Player of the Year after scoring touchdowns on both kickoff and punt returns.
There are also the "under-the-radar guys," as Laycock calls them, who played prominent roles as backups. And none of the true freshmen on the roster played this season, so they'll still have four years of eligibility left.
"I think that's pretty remarkable on our level where you deal with (lower scholarship) numbers," Laycock said. "We've got some good players there who will compete in the spring for playing time, that's for sure.
"That's kind of the way we try to run our program, where you don't have any major drop-off any one year," Laycock said. "You try to keep the consistency going. The program's pretty sound right now."
Laycock just completed his 36th season at his alma mater — no active coach has been on his current job as long. He'll turn 68 in February, and he's well aware that Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer, his close friend, was 69 when he announced his retirement last month.
Laycock also knows his own retirement will come sooner rather than later. In a sense, he's taken steps in that direction. But for now, there are no final plans.
"When I made the decision (in 2013) that I wanted to bring in an offensive coordinator to run the show on offense, because I had done that forever, that was a hard decision for me," Laycock said. "Fortunately, I got Kevin (Rogers). That was a major milestone for me to move out of that role and into even more of an administrative position.
"The end will come at some point in time. I'm not sure when, but it will. I haven't set a date, or anything. I'll know when it's time."

This will probably never be a comprehensive list--just Digimon that appear in the fan fics and some personal favorites. Go to some of the sites listed under the Links page for far more comprehensive Digimon index lists.
Also note that a fair amount of whimsy and interpretation (even the occassional bit of mis-interpretation that stuck) is present in this list. I slightly favor the dub names, but there will be Digimon referred to by the Japanese name if I think the dub name is too gratingly stupid. This is not a "definitive" list of either the Japanese or the American versions. I'm not attempting to put out a totally ironclad accurate list--you want that, go to DigiPort or Shining Evolution.

Dozen of bodies found in Burkina Faso, and rights group suspects extrajudicial killings
Thu, 09 Jul 2020 10:39 - Updated Thu, 09 Jul 2020 10:39
OUAGADOUGOU (Reuters) - At least 180 bodies have been found in common graves in Djibo, a town in the north of Burkina Faso, Human Rights Watch (HRW), said in a report released on Wednesday, saying that the killings were likely carried out by government forces.
"Available evidence suggests government forces were involved in mass extrajudicial executions," HRW said. It called for the government to hold those responsible to account.
The Burkina Faso government told HRW it will investigate the claims.
Minister of Defence Moumina Cheriff Sy said the killings could have been committed by jihadist groups using stolen army uniforms and logistical equipment.
"It is difficult for the population to distinguish between armed terrorist groups and the defence and security forces," he said.
Burkina Faso has been battling militant groups with links to al Qaeda and Islamic State since 2017. Hundreds of civilians have been killed and almost a million displaced by the conflict, which is also affecting neighbours Niger and Mali.
Despite promises to investigate and prosecute previous reports of rights abuses, rights groups say the government had done little.
Concerns over increased reports of abuses by soldiers prompted European Union and Sahel leaders to warn during a security summit on June 30 that any of their troops found guilty of human rights abuses would be punished severely.
The HRW report said the killings in Djibo likely took place between November 2019 and June 2020. Residents who saw the bodies told HRW that the dead were all men.
It said the bodies were left in groups along major roadways, under bridges, and in fields and vacant lots around Djibo.
"Burkina Faso authorities need to urgently uncover who turned Djibo into a 'killing field,'" said Corinne Dufka, Sahel director at Human Rights Watch.
A community leader in Djibo told HRW, "Many of the dead were blindfolded, had their hands tied up...and were shot in the head."
Many who spoke to HRW said they were fearful of being killed by government forces as well as jihadi militants.
"At night, so many times I'd hear the sound of vehicles and then, bam! bam! bam! ... And the next morning we'd see or hear of bodies found in this place or that," a Djibo farmer said.

Norway's Bureau for Police Affairs Prepare's Submission to Court Against Oslo Police District
The victim claims — to the denials of police — that he was "dumped in a forest, called an animal and left without shoes.
The above promo clip from the soon to be released documentary film, "The Serpent in Paradise" that details the experience of several migrant's who have been driven to an obscure and isolated area in 2013.
On a quiet morning in the suburbs of Oslo, Norway, a man who was suspected of concealing narcotics in his mouth was subjected to a stop and search by Norwegian civil police. During the search, the police handcuffed and held down the man on a public street and used batons to force open his mouth. Using the police baton to dig inside his oral cavity, they performed a brutal forensic search for three minutes, in which no narcotics were ever found. A second patrol was then called and the individual was taken far beyond the city's peripheral highway to an unknown location. The victim claims — to the denials of police — that he was "dumped in a forest, called an animal and left without shoes."
After a long and drawn out legal circus involving three investigations, a complaint from Oslo Police Districts leadership plus to the Director of Public Prosecutions, no charges were laid on the individual officers. Charges of gross misconduct were instead laid at the organizational level of Oslo Police District for the use of the baton. The rationale being one of organizational failure in which the practice of using the batons was allowed to develop to a level that the individual officers were deemed ignorant of the illegality of their actions. It is obvious to conclude that there has been a clear reluctance for the leadership of the Oslo Police District to accept the outcome of the case.
But now according to Norwegian Bureau for the Investigation of Police Affairs, they have "not received any response from the Oslo Police District, and is now preparing the submission of the case to court." They have told Circus Bazaar that "according to section 268 of the Criminal Procedure Act, an optional penalty writ may take the place of an indictment. If a writ is not accepted, the prosecuting authority normally sends the case to court.

Q: Authorize dot net ARB "creation date" start date" Please forgive my ignorance, I am not totally clear how this all works, but I will explain my concern:
I have a website with recurring billing, when I submitted my charge to Authorize.Net for a (7) day subscription starting today, my credit card got authorized tonight, and in authorize.net is said "authorization w/auto capture" however, the "creation date" and "start date" are not the same.
My creation date is today 4/16/15 and my start date is exactly (7) days from now, 4/23/15, exactly the duration of the first week of the subscription, coincidence ?
I THINK my programmer used AIM as first payment then the ARB gets info from plug- in on site (I have just turned on ARB on authoize.net, but have not needed to configure it with dates of auto rebilling, etc)
My question is...should "creation date" and "start date" be the same ?
I am thinking yes they should since my credit card is being authorized with auto capture today, why would the subscription need to start on 4/23/15 ?
Thank you so much for your help!!

A: The start date is when the subscription billing will begin. Creation date is when the subscription was created using the Merchant Interface or through the API.

Home » News/Views » RMT union member "no platformed" for supporting Brexit
A pro-Brexit RMT activist has been "no-platformed" by two prominent journalists, who are among the so-called "left" EU supporters.
Ash Sarkar and Owen Jones had been due to speak alongside Eddie Dempsey at a People's Assembly demonstration in London this coming Tuesday (3 September), but the two journalists pulled out in protest of Dempsey's support for a no-deal Brexit.
This is not the first time that Dempsey, a former member of the RMT executive, has been publicly attacked by the pro-EU establishment. After Dempsey spoke at the Leave Means Leave rally in London on 29 March, Labour MP Clive Lewis made defamatory allegations against Dempsey that suggested he was "far-right".
Lewis's comments were widely condemned by the RMT – which responded by removing him from the RMT's parliamentary group. Delegates at the RMT conference were reported as saying Lewis was "unfit" to represent the union.
But it appears the smear campaign against Dempsey and other Brexiters continues. Fire Brigades Union executive member Paul Embery was recently suspended by the union just for speaking at the same rally.
Despite insisting in a recent live TV interview with Piers Morgan that she is "literally a communist", Sarkar bizarrely opposes a no-deal Brexit, despite the fact that this would be a significant blow the EU's imperialist policies, and allow a future British government to re-nationalise its railways and throw away the EU's anti-union court rulings.
Owen Jones, meanwhile, has made efforts to portray Brexit and those who voted for it as being facilitators of a coming fascist dictatorship, despite there being no evidence supporting this portrayal.
On a positive note, a plethora of well-known trade unionists and activists have loudly condemned this recent slander against Dempsey, and some have compared him to the late Bob Crow, a fierce opponent of the EU who served as the general secretary of the RMT from 2002, until his death in 2014.

Anne-Marije Andringa defended her PhD thesis at the University of Groningen earlier this month. She has designed and tested a portable nitrogen-oxide detector, which might one day be used by asthma patients and car manufacturers.
She did a placement at Philips Research in Eindhoven to see how things worked there, and her placement supervisor, Dago de Leeuw, asked her to start a PhD project in Eindhoven. Dago de Leeuw combines his job as professor of Applied Physics at the University of Groningen with a Research Fellowship at Philips Research.
The project involved developing a new detector for gaseous nitrogen oxides. 'The current systems are huge, complicated and expensive.' It means that you have to have the nitric oxide levels in your car exhaust checked at the garage, because they have the right equipment. Andringa developed a nitrogen oxide sensor based on a field-effect transistor. This type of transistor consists of a semiconductor placed between two electrodes that can conduct an electric current, a dielectric and a gate. Changing the voltage on the gate modulates the conductivity in the semiconductor.
Nitrogen dioxide penetrates the semiconducting material and traps the free electrons needed to conduct electricity through the material, causing a drop in current. 'The gate allows you to control the number of free electrons in the semiconductor', Andringa explains. If you manipulate the number of free electrons in the semiconductor via the gate you can maximize sensitivity to nitrogen dioxide. Andringa devised a model that accurately describes the relationship between the concentration of nitrogen dioxide, the voltage on the gate and the current passing through the semiconductor.
'The current generation of nitrogen dioxide sensors work with resistors. The resistance increases with the levels of nitrogen dioxide, but only by a few percent', says Andringa. In the field-effect transistor, nitrogen dioxide shifts the point at which the current switches 'on' and 'off', thereby producing a much stronger signal.

Jimmy Fallon Drew the Smallest 'Tonight Show' Audience Ever Last Night
Colbert more than doubled NBC competition's viewer total
Courtesy of NBC
Monday's "Tonight Show" averaged the smallest TV audience ever for an original episode of the show, according to early ratings. Jimmy Fallon drew just 947,000 total viewers last night.
Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" on CBS won the evening with 2.03 million viewers, according to Nielsen's Live + Same Day fast-national numbers. ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" came in second place among the late-night television programs with 1.67 million total viewers.
Numbers for each of those shows are subject to adjustment when final figures are tallied. Those are expected to be available Wednesday.
While this specific historical Nielsen data only dates back to 1986, it is safe to say that Johnny Carson always attracted more than a million viewers. These are very different eras. (Carson hosted "The Tonight Show" from 1962 to 1992. Jay Leno took over in '92.)
The previous low for an original "Tonight Show" episode came on Sept. 25, 2020, when Fallon pulled in 992,000 total viewers following a Stanley Cup Finals game. The start to that episode was a bit delayed due to the live hockey coverage.
Prior to the post-hockey episode, the show's record low came from Aug. 18, 2020's episode, when Jimmy drew 1 million total viewers on the nose.
Yeah, it's been a rough stretch for Fallon — especially amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Fallon used to be the king of late night, but Colbert first passed him in mid-November 2018. The "Colbert Report" alum went on to win that season.
On Monday, Fallon welcomed guests Bill Burr, Rashida Jones and musical guest Old Dominion. Segments included "Life Coach" with Burr and Fallon's solo gag "Go On, Git."
Last night, Colbert interviewed Chris Rock and aired a performance by singer Joss Stone. Over on "Kimmel," the guests were "This Is Us Star" Milo Ventimiglia and CNN's Jake Tapper, with Queen Naija as musical guest.
Readers can watch Fallon's Monday monologue below. Up front, Fallon addressed President Trump being permanently banned from Twitter and other social-media platforms.

A wall would just be an escalation of the war on drugs, Since 1971, when Nixon declared his drug war, the flow of drugs into the US has continued, without interruption. Narco police point to large confiscations of intercepted drugs as evidence of success. But all they accomplish is to make the price higher on the street. To narco crime kingpins, intercepted shipments are simply part of the price of doing business.
After 47 years, it should be obvious the war on drugs can never be won. What needs to be done is to put smuggling operations and narco police out of business by legalization of all drugs. They should be highly taxed with the proceed ideally going to drug education and rehabilitation.
The idea that a border wall is needed is absolute nonsense. The number of people going across the border illegally has been reduced year after year and we've already spent a lot of money on border security in the last decade. What is needed is a comprehensive immigration policy, plain and simple. We need to give undocumented immigrants a way forward bringing their very numbers to light. Taking care of the DACA folks is common sense since these folks are already contributing immensely to our society.
The problem is Trump and the Republicans who mislead the people in the US. The other day I was listening to C-Span and they had a statistician from a conservative think tank illustrate the truth in the numbers. I noted a whole lot of folks call in and basically call him a commie. This is understandable from certain parts of the country these days. There are a whole lot of people who don't trust the government for a whole host of reasons. One major reason is that they've been lied to year after year. Yes, people are suffering in this country and yes, it's difficult for a lot of folks to trust people they call "Liberals", basically because they believe those "Liberals" don't care about them. For those folks its heresy to listen to rich educated people to tell them that they are not informed, that they should become more informed, especially when they are struggling just to pay their bills or find a decent job. One guy called in on the Democrat line saying he changed parties recently and yet neither party is doing any thing for those living in his state of W. Virginia where for several generations the only decent job was working in the coal mine.
He reminded folks that it was the coal miners who made the industrial revolution in this country possible and now they are simply out of luck.
What is going on in Venezuela now is horrid. Trump is the wrong president at the wrong time on that score. This country needs to lead in a positive way, but that does not mean forced regime change. It does not mean cutting aide and blocking economic growth for people who are struggling. We've done that too many times in the America's and it shows. It's the reason why we have caravans of desperate folks trying to escape from poverty, drug gangs and corrupted government officials who have been supported by the US.
Talk the truth and don't stop talking the truth!


The Mazzer ZM Filter Comp.
Prufrock will host an independent brewing competition on the the 3rd of November. It is free to attend and the event is sponsored by Mazzer and Mulmar, (the Mazzer importer in the UK). The rules to the event will follow more or less the World Aeropress structure with the liberty of being able to brew with any coffee you should choose and with the benefit of bringing any brew method you choose to the table. There will be a judging panel who will cup the coffees. Throughout the day prior to the event Prufrock will open up an area in our training space to allow baristas to dial in on the ZM Filter Grinder. Just email Jeremy to create time slot. jeremy@prufrockcoffee.com and we will have a grinding station on the night so competitors can continue to tweak their brews prior to coming on stage. Prufrock's Uber boiler will be at your disposal on the night too.
Coffee and water only, no additives, no esters.
The winner will receive two tickets with flights and accommodation in Venice and an invitation to visit the beautiful and simply mind-blowing Mazzer factory during your stay. The winner will also go home with a Mini Mazzer in tow. Nice.
So follow the prompts below and book your place. The bookings manger software is set up to only allow one ticket per contestant.
Comp will kick off promptly at 7:30 so get in early and dial in friends as we have the only prototype of this extraordinary grinder in the UK though you'll be pleased to hear, the design has just started to enter production so now is a chance to try a design from 2016, specifically dedicated to filter coffee and set up with a broad swing in grinder calibration so you can really zone in on the dial. I'll give you a hint, we are making our V60s on or around number 9 but to get up to a batch brew setting for a 4L size, you would need to turn the dial 4 full rotations. Amazing. It's that much of a swing so we get huge control here.
FYI: Prufrock has been trialling the incredible new ZM filter grinder on the bar at Prufrock and Jem has travelled to Venice to the Mazzer factory to help develop the Espresso Burr concept with them. The company is so completely innovative and advanced technically, they really have the ability to fabricate almost any burr shape and grinder design you could possible conceive of, with the mixture of robotics, CNC Milling machines and Toyota style production lines where one engineer assembles the entire grinder independantly, the mood at the factory and their approach to future grinder development is utterly laudable.
We can report that the ZM currently sits at 0.45g grind retention. This is really as good as it gets and they are still innovating with this design to reduce this further. The burr alignment is so perfect it is within a 20um tolerance too so have great confidence, the grinder is aligned better than the width of two sheets of aluminium foil.
Prufrock will run a bar on the night so if you're just curious to meet the guys behind an incredible grinder design, come on down.

Investors are attracted to green bonds because they orient capital towards environment-friendly business activity, say experts at Insight Investment. But it is important to remember that they require the same thorough analysis as the rest of the fixed income universe.
Interest in green bonds, issued by supranational entities and corporations to finance activities focused on the environment, is booming. Supply and demand have grown substantially as investors and governments acknowledge the need to finance projects focused on environmental development and energy transition. Green bonds have become an important tool to raise funding that supports such progress, and so we believe it is important to assess how the asset class can contribute to investment portfolios.
The supply of green bonds has expanded quickly. The European Investment Bank issued the first green bond in 2007, and Bank of America issued the first corporate benchmark-standard green bond in 2013. Issuance has risen from less than US$2B in 2011 to US$90B in 2016 and over US$52B in the first half of 2017. Nearly US$250B in financing has been raised in total, mostly by multilateral entities like the World Bank.1 Demand from institutional investors has increased to match supply.
We believe that, like investing in fixed income more broadly, investing in green bonds requires in-depth analysis and careful consideration. There are several factors to consider.
Lack of scale: Corporate issuance of green bonds has been lower than expected, with only 198 corporate issues of benchmark size (at least US$200M), worth US$127B in total in various currencies. Of the corporate green bonds issued, 77 are U.S. dollar-denominated (worth US$43B) and 67 euro-denominated (worth €39B).2 As the two most important investment currencies for corporate issuance, these 144 bonds represent the investable universe.
Lack of diversification: Financials and utilities have issued 82 and 62 bonds, respectively, of all corporate green bonds issued.3 Banks raise money to reorient loan books towards commercial and residential energy efficiency projects, and utilities for developing renewable energy power generation. Of the firms that have issued green bonds, more than a dozen issuers have gone on to issue more green bonds after their first.
Variable credit quality: Issuers of green bonds are just as susceptible to weakness as issuers across the fixed income universe. In fact, it has been argued that companies facing difficulties might decide to issue green bonds as they are more likely to be bought than conventional issues. There have been high-profile defaults: Abengoa and TerraForm Power issued 10 green bonds between them, raising more than US$5B from investors. Investors have seen the value of their investments fall significantly.
Questionable standards: Green bonds may be issued to finance specific projects focused on the environment, but issuers may themselves fail to uphold best practices when it comes to other sustainability factors. This may raise questions as to the rationale for investing in a specific green bond. Some energy companies, for example, have issued green bonds despite being large fossil fuel emitters, exposing the lack of standardization that is critical for more widespread adoption of green bonds.
Of the approximately 60 investment-grade corporate issuers of green bonds, some do not provide key information on carbon reduction targets and strategy. At least 10 investment grade issuers have either declined or ignored requests for environment information from the CDP4 initiative, an industry standard for reporting detailed and comparable environment-related information.5 If companies are not transparent with regard to their operations, a key objective of green finance is undermined.
We believe investors should only take exposure to green bonds where in-depth analysis justifies the investment rationale of a specific issue. It is worth noting that an issuer's green bonds will often be structured in a similar way to their non-green bonds.
It encourages investors to recognize that they have an important, positive role to play in supporting environmentally friendly projects. Over time, we believe many of the problems identified above are likely to dissipate, and green bonds may improve in terms of their quality and appeal.
However, we believe more issuance from a wider variety of companies and sectors is required before an allocation focused on green bonds, as if it were a separate asset class, would be justified. Investing now in a portfolio focused on green bonds, where the opportunities are limited, could increase the potential risks to investors.

All investments involve risk, including loss of principal. Certain investments involve greater or unique risks that should be considered along with the objectives, fees, and expenses before investing. Bonds are subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity, call and market risks, to varying degrees. Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes and rate increases can cause price declines. Socially responsible portfolios may forego opportunities to invest in other securities when advantageous, or may sell securities when disadvantageous for it to do so while pursuing its socially responsible criteria.
