MVP Awards and All NBA Predictions for 2018-2019.
Now that the regular season has finished, it's time to look at my predictions for all the awards and NBA Teams. I will look at the Top 10 candidates in order for the MVP award and the Top 5 candidates for all of the other awards.
Most Valuable Player
1. Giannis Antetokounmpo Milwaukee Bucks (60-22)
(GP 72) 27.7 Pts, 12.5 Reb, 5.9 Ast, 1.3 Stl, 1.5 Blk
58% FG, 73% FT , 26% 3P (0.7 3PM), PER 30.95
Unstoppable offensively and dominant defensively, the Greek Freak lead the Bucks to the best record in the league and should be rewarded with the MVP. My last blog here went into detail on why Giannis Antetokounmpo should win his 1st MVP Award so I won't discuss this any further.
2. James Harden Houston Rockets (53-29)
(GP 78) 36.1 Pts, 6.6 Reb, 7.6 Ast, 2 Stl, 0.7 Blk
44% FG, 88% FT, 37% 3P (4.8 3PM), PER 30.62
One of the greatest offensive seasons ever, James Harden carried the Rockets from 2nd last in the West in December to homecourt advantage in the West by season's end. Normally nine 50 point games and a host of 40 point triple doubles would be enough to win the MVP, but this year he will have to settle for being one of the best runners up ever.
3. Paul George Oklahoma City Thunder (49-33)
(GP 77) 28 Pts, 8.2 Reb, 4.1 Ast, 2.2 Stl, 0.4 Blk
A leading contender before the All Star Break, Paul George was sensational doing everything for the Thunder on Offense and Defense. But a nagging shoulder injury and a steep decline over the last month with OKC falling from 3rd in the West to 6th, ended any chance George had of challenging for the MVP.
4. Nikola Jokic Denver Nuggets (54-28)
51% FG, 82% FT, 31% 3P (1 3PM) PER 26.38
The best passing big man in NBA History, Jokic had an amazing season keeping the Nuggets in 1st or 2nd place in the tough Western Conference for most of the season after they couldn't even make the playoffs last season.
5. Stephen Curry Golden State Warriors (57-25)
(GP 69) 27.3 Pts, 5.3 Reb, 5.2 Ast, 1.3 Stl, 0.4 Blk
Steph Curry had another spectacular season and if he didn't miss 3 weeks earlier in the season then he definitely would have been in contention. He is clearly the engine that makes the Warriors go and gets the nod over teammate Kevin Durant because of how much more the Warriors struggled without him in the lineup. The Warriors had a 5-7 record in games Curry missed including a terrible 0-5 record on the Road (51-17 record in games he played). More importantly the team chemistry went down the toilet when he was injured, with KD and Draymond having a serious conflict resulting in Green's suspension.
6. Damian Lillard Portland Trailblazers (53-29)
44% FG, 91% FT, 37% 3P (3 3PM), PER 23.78
Dame has also been spectacular this year leading the Blazers to 50 wins for the first time since LaMarcus Aldridge left in 2015. He has been consistent all year leading the team through adversity when CJ McCollum went down and Jusuf Nurkic suffered the horrific season ending injury.
7. Joel Embiid Philadelphia 76ers (51-31)
(GP 64)27.5 Pts, 13.6 Reb, 3.7 Ast, 0.7 Stl, 1.9 Blk
48% FG, 80% FT, 30% 3P (1.2 3PM), 26.2 PER
Even though Philly has 4 All Star calibre players, the team relied on Big Man Joel Embiid more than ever, with a terrible 7-9 record without him. He has been a beast on both ends of the floor averaging over 27 points and 13 rebounds a game. If he played more than 65 games he would be higher on this list.
8. Kevin Durant Golden State Warriors (57-25)
Lost in the crowd of candidates, Kevin Durant is quietly having one of his best all around seasons averaging a career high 6 assists a game and once again shooting over 50% from the field and over 85% from the line for the 7th straight year. But Steph Curry showed at least in the regular season, he is more valuable than Durant, and KD's part in the whole Draymond Green fiasco did not exactly help his case here.
9. Kawhi Leonard Toronto Raptors (58-24)
When he has played, Kawhi Leonard has been sensational posting Career High in Points and Rebounds while shooting almost 50% from the field and 85% from the line. The problem is he hasn't played all too much, missing over 20 games at different parts of the season mainly for rest. It seemed like the Raptors just let him play whenever he felt like it so that definitely hurts his ranking here. But being the best player on the league's 3rd best team is still enough to make this list.
10. Kyrie Irving Boston Celtics (49-33)
(GP 67) 23.8 Pts, 5 Reb, 6.9 Ast, 1.5 Stl, 0.5 Blk
Kyrie Irving and the Celtics have had a roller coaster season, failing to win 50 games when most experts predicted at least 60 wins. Irving individually is having his best all around season averaging Career Highs in Rebounds, Assists, Steals and Blocks, while scoring 24 points a game on almost 50/40/90 shooting. But his teammates have regressed with him on the floor and his leadership skills have not been the best. But his sheer individual brilliance allows him to crack the Top 10.
Shocking Top 10 Omission:
Lebron James Los Angeles Lakers (37-45)
(GP 55)27.4 Pts, 8.5 Reb, 8.3 Ast, 1.3 Stl, 0.6 Blk,
51% FG, 67% FT, 34% 3P (2 3PM), PER 25.6
Lebron James has been in the Top 5 for MVP voting for 13 straight years! The last time he finished outside the top 5 he was 20 years old and he still finished 6th and his rookie year he finished 9th as a teenager! He has made the top 10 in MVP voting every single year including his rookie season! So to not even make the Top 10 this season is beyond shocking, especially considering he was widely viewed as the games greatest player at the beginning of the season and right up until his injury.
But the Lakers have failed miserably losing against lottery teams even after he came back from injury and he has displayed poor leadership, a lack of defensive effort and a lack of ability to influence the outcomes of games. His stats alone are amazing and would normally merit a place in the Top 10 but look at the 10 guys above him. They have all easily lead their teams to the playoffs while also having outstanding individual seasons.
Honourable Mention: Russell Westbrook
(GP 73)22.9 Pts, 11.1 Reb, 10.7 Ast, 1.9 Stl, 0.5 Blk
I have to give a shout out to Russell Westbrook who unbelievably doesn't make this list even though he is averaging a triple double for the 3rd year in a row! Yes i know he is shooting terribly from everywhere, but again he is AVERAGING A TRIPLE DOUBLE...AGAIN! It's just been a really deep year for MVP candidates but no doubt what Russ has done may never be seen again.
Defensive Player Of The Year
1. Rudy Gobert (Utah Jazz)
12.9 Reb (4th), 2.3 Blk (3rd), 1st in Def RPM
The DPOY vote is even closer than the MVP vote, but Rudy Gobert just gets the nod in a tight vote over both Paul George and MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. No player in the league anchors their teams defense better than The Stifle Tower, who is 4th in rebounds, 3rd in blocks and 1st (by far) in Defensive Real Plus Minus (RPM).
2. Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks)
10.4 Def Reb (2nd), Blk 1.5 (10th), 1st Def Win Shares, 10th in Def RPM
The MVP favourite has legitimate claims to be only the 3rd player to win both the MVP and DPOY after Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon. He is the only player who can legitimately guard all 5 positions, he protects his own glass better than anyone else (2nd in Defensive Rebounding and 1st in Blocks for a Non Center).
3. Paul George (Oklahoma City Thunder)
2.2 Stl (1st), 3.8 Deflections (1st), Loose Balls Recovered (1st), 3rd Def Win Shares
Paul George is also a strong candidate for the award, playing great perimeter on the ball defense while getting the opponents best scorer every night. He is 1st in steals as well as deflections and loose balls, PG has just been everywhere on the defensive end this season.
4. Myles Turner (Indiana Pacers)
2.7 Blk (1st), 5th in Def RPM
The anchor of the league's stingiest defense (only 104.3 ppg allowed), Myles Turner leads the whole NBA in block shots and is a major reason why the Pacers have secured a top 5 seed despite missing their best player Victor Oladipo for half the season.
5. Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers)
13.6 Reb (2nd), 11.1 Def Reb (1st), 1.9 Blk (6th), 4th in Def Win Shares
One of the best rebounders and shot blockers in the league, Embiid is 4th in Defensive Win Shares and protects his own glass ferociously with 11.1 Defensive rebounds a game,1st in the NBA.
1. Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks)
(GP 72) 21.2 Pts, 7.8 Reb, 6 Ast, 1.1 Stl, 0.3 Blk
In what was once a landslide decision, Trae Young has made the ROY race interesting in the last few weeks, but there is no doubt that Luka Doncic will win this award. The rookie sensation is averaging a ridiculous 21 pts, almost 8 rebounds and 6 assists a game, numbers only ever achieved once in history by Oscar Robertson!
2. Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks)
Any other year Trae Young would be ROY and the fact is Ice Trae has been even better than Cool Hand Luka over the last couple months averaging a mind boggling 25 points, 9 assists and 5 rebounds a game since the All Star Break!
3. Deandre Ayton (Phoenix Suns)
59% FG, 75% FT, PER 20.54
This years 1st pick Deandre Ayton has not been as spectacular as Doncic or Young but he has been impressively consistent all season basically averaging a solid 16 and 10 almost every single month.
4. Jaren Jackson Jr. (Memphis Grizzlies)
19 year old wonder kid Triple J adapted amazingly well to the NBA averaging almost 15 points on 54% shooting in November and maintaining that pace for most of the season. He was also very good defensively with 1.4 blocks a game and he is not afraid of the big moment, making multiple big shots for the Grizzlies, none bigger than a 3 pointer followed by a 4 point play to send a game to overtime against the Nets, part of a Career High 36 point performance that night.
5. Collin Sexton (Cleveland Cavaliers)
43% FG, 84% FT, 40% 3P (1.5 3PM), PER 12.1
With a late season charge Collin Sexton squeaks on to this list over Marvin Bagley who has also been great, especially in the 2nd half of the season. Sexton has been ballin since the All Star Break, averaging 21 points on 48% shooting and 43% from 3. But his assist rate is lowest amongst all point guards and he will need to improve his playmaking to take his game to the next level.
Honourable Mention: Marvin Bagley (Sacramento Kings)
6th Man Of The Year
1. Lou Williams (Los Angeles Clippers)
(GP 75) 20 Pts, 3 Reb, 5.4 Ast, 0.8 Stl, 0.1 Blk
Lou Williams is the comfortable choice here leading the most surprising team in the league the L.A Clippers to the playoffs despite trading away their best player Tobias Harris before the All Star Break. Sweet Lou leads all 6th men in scoring at 20 ppg and he has made countless big shots down the stretch for the Clips.
2. Spencer Dinwiddie (Brooklyn Nets)
Another 6th man who is relied on to score in the 4th quarter, Spencer Dinwiddie has been instrumental in helping the Nets make the post season for the 1st time since 2015. He averaged 20 points in December when the Nets went on a 7 game win streak to solidify their playoff spot and who could forget his clutch 25 point 4th quarter performance against the Rockets including three 3 pointers in the last 30 seconds to force overtime in a big road win.
3. Domantas Sabonis (Indiana Pacers)
The son of Basketball legend Arvydas, Domantas really made a name for himself this season, averaging 14 points and 9.3 rebounds off the bench on a super efficient 59% shooting from the field. He has been the most reliable player for the Pacers the whole season and has a great future.
4. Montrezl Harrell (Los Angeles Clippers)
Out West, Montrezl Harrell has been just as good as Sabonis, playing every game for the Clippers and averaging 16.5 pts on an even more efficient 61% shooting. If it wasn't for his own teammate Lou Williams relegating him to 7th man, Harrell would be higher on this list.
5. Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat)
The Heat did not make the playoffs, but don't blame NBA Legend D-Wade who has been amazingly good and better than anyone thought he could be in his swansong season. He did everything he could averaging 20 ppg in April willing the Heat to keep his Career going, but it just wasn't to be. In his final season, he averaged 15 ppg with some huge 4th quarters, none more memorable than a desperate 3 point buzzer beater to beat the Warriors by 1, one of the craziest shots of the decade.
Honourable Mention: Derrick Rose (Minnesota Timberwolves)
One of the feel good stories of the season has been Derrick Rose's resurgence after it looked like his career might be over. Old Coach Tom Thibodeau finally gave Rose a fair chance and boy did he respond averaging 18 points a game and making several clutch plays for the Wolves, none bigger than a Career High 50 points against the Jazz including the game winner and game winning block. If he played more than 51 games and the Wolves made the playoffs he would have made this list.
Most Improved Player
1. Pascal Siakam (Toronto Raptors)
In my opinion Pascal Siakam is the clear choice for Most Improved Player this year. He is the definition of a M.I.P increasing his stats all across he board, averaging significantly more points (16.9 compared to 7.3!) and more rebounds, assists, blocks and steals, while improving his FG% FT% and 3P%. He even improves month to month, setting a career high in scoring 7 times this season and he has become a legitimate threat from 3 hitting almost 2 3s a game at over 40% shooting since February.
2. D'Angelo Russell (Brooklyn Nets)
A lot of people including Magic Jonson wrote off former 2nd pick D'Angelo Russell but he has proven a lot of people wrong this year. He has upped his scoring from 15 to over 21 a game and he has become a leader and has many clutch moments this season, none bigger than the huge 28 point 4th quarter to lead a 25 point comeback at Sacramento that pretty much sealed their playoff spot.
3. Bojan Bogdanovic (Indiana Pacers)
(GP 81) 18 Pts, 4.1 Reb, 2 Ast, 0.9 Stl, 0 Blk
Ever since franchise player Victor Oladipo went down with a season ending injury, everyone thought it was over for the Pacers. But Bojan Bogdanovic refused to give in, carrying the Pacers in scoring and maintaining their top 5 seed in the East. He averaged over 22 points a game on a blistering 53% shooting and 43% from 3 for over 2 months in February and March, and has gone from a nice role player to a top scorer in this league.
4. Buddy Hield (Sacramento Kings)
You could argue Sacramento teammate De'Aaron Fox deserves some consideration but I don't like to include 2nd year players in this vote as their should be a natural improvement from their rookie year. But Buddy Hield has been even better upping his scoring from 13.5 ppg to 20.8 ppg this season leading the Kings to a shocking 9th place finish in the West.
Montrezl Harrell has also had his minutes and production increased this season and he along with Lou Williams form a formidable duo off the bench for the Clippers. He has an amazing PER of 23.44 easily the highest number on this list.
1. Mike Budenholzer (Milwaukee Bucks 60-22, Last Year 44-38)
Lots of great candidates as always but none more deserving then Mike Budenholzer who is quite simply a genius tactician, especially in the regular season. He reinvented the offense and to utilize Giannis's skills and he made the Bucks into the best defensive team in the league. Milwaukee went from 7th in the East and the 16th best record last season at 44-38, to top of the league with 61 wins - a 17 win jump with virtually the same roster.
2. Doc Rivers (Los Angeles Clippers 48-34, Last Year 42-40)
What Doc has done this season, effectively coaching two different teams and losing his best player for the 3rd time in the last couple years has been remarkable. The Clippers traded away Tobias Harris before the All Star Break and they are now starting two rookies (Shamet and SGA) and another kid in Ivica Zubac, yet they just keep winning and winning, including 13 out of 15 games late in the season to eliminate the Lakers and seal their own playoff spot.
3. Mike Malone (Denver Nuggets 54-28, Last Year 46-36)
What a great season it has been for Mike Malone and the Denver Nuggets. After missing the playoffs by a mere 1 game in both of the last 2 seasons, the Nuggets started this season on a mission and they never looked back, alternating between 1st and 2nd place with the defending champs for almost all of the season.
4. Nate McMillan (Indiana Pacers 48-34, Last Year 48-34)
He many not have had the wins improvement from the previous season like the other candidates for COY, but nobody had a tougher job then Nate McMillan as he had to navigate through the loss of his best player Victor Oladipo early in the season. He did amazing job to not only keep Indiana afloat but to maintain a top 5 seeding and stay 14 games over .500.
5. Kenny Atkinson (Brooklyn Nets 42-40, 28-54)
Who would have thought the Nets would be this good and exciting to watch when the season started? Coach Kenny Atkinson is the main reason why, establishing a culture of defense, teamwork and accountability while taking previously unwanted D-League players such as Spencer Dinwiddie and Joe Harris and turning them into great players. And what he has done for D'Angelo Russell and also Caris Levert cannot be understated.
All NBA 1st Team
The 2 MVP candidates were locks, but there could be debate between the other 3 spots: KD vs PG, Jokic vs Embiid and Steph vs Dame.
A month ago Paul George was a lock to make the 1st team but a shoulder injury severely affected his shooting and overall play which has opened the door for Kevin Durant to get the 1st team vote. However overall PG has been as good or better than KD offensively while he has been a far superior defender so he just gets my vote.
Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid could really go either way. I think most people would agree Embiid is the better more dominant player but what Jokic did for the Nuggets this year as an only All Star while playing 80 games to Embiid's 64 gives him the slight edge in my book.
Finally Damian Lillard had another spectacular season and has navigated the Blazers through some significant injuries while leading them to 50 wins. But Steph Curry is the better player while also having a great season, and his importance to the best team in the West cannot be understated.
All NBA 2nd Team
Not much argument here in the frontcourt with Durant, Embiid and Kawhi Leonard. Likewise Damian Lillard is a lock and the only real debate is for the last guard spot between Kyrie Irving and Russell Westbrook.
Westbrook has averaged a triple double for the 3rd season in a row and it is amazing to think a player could average a triple double on a good team and not make the 1st two All NBA Teams. But he has shot horribly from the field (43%) and the line (66%) and Kyrie has also had an amazing season but with crazy shooting percentages of 49% FG, 87% FT, 40% 3s so he just gets it.
All NBA 3rd Team
The 3rd team is where it gets really difficult. Russell Westbrook and Lebron James have to make it but after that the other 3 spots are up for grabs.
In the middle it is a two man race with Rudy Gobert's defense and team performance up against Karl Anthony Town's ridiculous production, especially since the All Star Break. But Gobert has been instrumental to Utah's success, not just defensively but offensively with his pick and roll and screen assists. The fact that Towns was getting big stats in mostly meaningless late season games hurts his case here.
For the last forward spot it came down to Lamarcus Aldridge and Blake Griffin, with Blake winning out based on his superior all around stats, significantly improved 3 point shooting and the fact that he carried the Pistons the whole year offensively.
For the guards there were endless candidates. Kemba Walker, Bradley Beal, Mike Conley, Klay Thompson, Demar Derozan, Donovan Mitchell, D'Angelo Russell and Ben Simmons.
In the end I went with Kemba as he has been a one man team for the Hornets all season averaging 25.6 Points a Game including 34 points a game in April trying to will his Hornets to playoffs, but ultimately falling short on the last day of the season. Beal and Conley have been just as good but their teams have not played a meaningful game for a couple months. Klay, Demar and Ben miss out for being the 2nd/3rd options on their team while Spida Mitchell and D-Lo played amazing especially after the New Year but not quite enough to beat out Kemba.
All NBA Defense 1st Team
No real argument here in the frontcourt with Paul George, Giannis and Rudy Gobert most likely to be selected to the 1st team.
The backcourt has endless candidates but I am going with Jrue Holiday and Marcus Smart who are so tough and versatile they can guard point guards, shooters and even tall wing men like Paul George and Kevin Durant effectively.
All NBA Defense 2nd Team
Again the frontcourt here is a bit easier to select with shot blocking leader Myles Turner beating out Joel Embiid and former DPOY Draymond Green and M.I.P Pascal Siakam getting the forward slots.
Green has not been as good defensively as previous seasons but he is still key to the Warriors success and his versatility and toughness is second to none. If Robert Covington played more than 35 games than he definitely would have made this team and Kawhi Leonard would also normally make it but he has not been as good this year so his teammate Pascal Siakam who has been great defensively all year for the Raptors gets my vote.
For the final two guards, it is almost impossible to choose and you could take your pick from Eric Bledsoe, Patrick Beverley, Danny Green, Klay Thompson and Derrick White. I really wanted to reward Klay Thompson since he has never made the team but a closer look shows he has a terrible defensive RPM this year so it's hard to justify voting him in over the other candidates. Danny Green is the best defender in transition and is one of the best shot blocking guards while Derrick White has been the Spurs best defender by far this year. But ultimately I went with Eric Bledsoe who has been so reliable for the Bucks league leading defense and Patrick Beverly who is recognized by his peers as one of the best defenders and has been a huge reason for the Clippers success this year.
All Rookie 1st Team
The only real debate for the All Rookie 1st Team is whether Marvin Bagley should make it probably over Collin Sexton. But Sexton has been on fire the last couple months and by selecting him it allows everyone to play their natural positions.
All Rookie 2nd Team
Other than Marvin Bagley and maybe Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the other 3 spots are really up in the air. Honourable mentions go to Kevin Knox, Allonzo Trier, Kevin Huerter, Jalen Brunson, Rodions Kurucs, Mikal Bridges, Miles Bridges, Mo Bamba and Wendell Carter Jr (Who would have made the 2nd team if he played more games).

Q: can you do multiple Salesforce deployments, putting most users in the cheaper one and a few in one with best features? since Salesforce requires high per user payment for the deployment with some advanced features, have there been attempts to get the advanced features (which are probably less likely to be needed in day to day work than the basic ones) in a separate deployment with few users and transfer in the data from the cheaper basic deployment actually used by most employees?

A: We use similar scheme to sync data from a subsidiary instance before we bring them up to the full feature instance. Jitterbit 4 has salesforce connectors which allow very easy creation of sync tasks (query/upsert, but even without the wizards its easy to use sf api service), you just need to chain pairs of operations (one web service call to load data from source, another to upset at destination using source record ID as external ID in destination).

What Makes a Great Image?
Steffi Smith
A month or so ago Chris Fawkes, founder of Facebook Wedding Photographers, and I decided to raise the bar and create a more advanced forum for wedding photographers. We really hoped we could involve a group of more skilled artists and in turn stimulate more complex discussions and images.
The requirements are that you have to have a wedding website or business Facebook page and have been in business at least three years. While it's often hard to determine how long somebody has been in business, the work tends to speak for itself.
A part of what's keeping the bar high is the enthusiasm of the administrators. It's a terrific team with Brian Malloy, Steffi Smith, Brent Watkins, Joe Maher, Dawn Davis, Paul Robison, Chris Fawkes and yours truly. This little group has contributed a lot as we come up on 500 members, who represent some pretty intense and passionate artists.
Okay, so that's the background on where the following images came from, but here's the question that got me here today in this post.
In Advanced Wedding Photographers I asked:
"Take a look at your best images for the past year and show us your favorite. Pick out that one image that would get you hired..."
Here's what has me so intrigued...What I thought I would get is a lot of stunning classic solid portraiture like Steffi Smith's image above. She commented, "This image got us two more weddings in the same venue, the clients told us they loved this photo."
What people have shared has been incredible, but far more than just beautiful traditional images. Here's what I honestly forgot:
I forgot about images that capture emotion. I forgot about moments that capture a memory and show a little of the soul of the photographer as well as the subjects. I also forgot about humor as a marketing tool.
Carole Honeyman-Huff wrote, "This image from a same sex wedding brought more business through my doors this year than any other."
Christine Bentley wrote: "I get a certain kind of bride here in OC, they LOVE To be in front of the camera, and this couple did an elopement and session after . I get more requests for this shot than anything, most couples wont do this on their wedding, rather their engagement......"
Ruth McConnell Trevaskis commented: "Not sure if it is that 'one' image, but this is on the wall of the nearby venue that hosted the reception. sends quite a string of brides my way."
Erik Hornung was actually the first person to jump in with an image and what he wrote really makes a point about the power of humor, "This strange photo has landed me many jobs for next year!"
Alexandra Stead wrote, "More brides bring up this photo than any other when we meet."
And, it's more than just humor, but artists who make it a point to connect with family, people and life styles. It's an amazing variety of work that has helped each photographer establish themselves with their clients. Over and over again it's been a combination of styles and storytelling, but two things have consistently been common denominators, the skill set of the artists and their passion for imaging.
This is the first in a series of posts I hope to share with you over the next few months. Each image demonstrates something a little different as they go back forth from a more traditional look to photojournalism, reminding us that every client and event are unique. You owe your clients the very best and as we head into a new year, you need to work to have a skill set that allows you maximum flexibility with every photographic situation you run into.
A BIG thanks to all the artists joining us in Advanced Wedding Photographers and sharing some of their favorite images. Each one tells a different story and that's the beauty of the business we're in with each of you working to be the ultimate storyteller.

Skip! Nice blog about advanced wedding photographer group and thank you for allowing me to be a part of it. What I like about the group is the quality of conversation in the group. A lot of the other groups seem to end up like a "my camera is bigger than yours" conversation and I am write and you are wrong. I like the quality of discussion in the group and maybe because the group is a more established group of photographers is why the conversation is that way. But I love it! Thank you.
Elisabeth Beattie
I think the one thing all the pictures you show here have in common is that, leaving aside the humour, they all show the relationships between people - they show that the people in the pictures are connected. The links that connect people are precious, and those links are doubly precious at weddings, because that is where those links are recognized and acknowledged. The photos that capture that will make people reach for them.

Ice Cream Servings: How Much Ice Cream Should You Buy?
How Much Ice Cream Should You Buy?
Need to find out how many ice cream servings are in a gallon of ice cream? Or are you just trying to figure out how much ice cream should you buy for your party?
This page is dedicated to helping you determine how much ice cream you should buy - so that everyone is satisfied!!
1 serving of ice cream is considered to be 1/2 cup of ice cream...but most people eat more than just a half a cup of ice cream!
Who will you be eating the ice cream?
If your guests are small kids or people who only pick at desserts, you will probably be able to get by with just 1/2 cup ice cream servings.
If your guests are big eaters, then you're going to have to buy a little extra ice cream - they're going to eat more than just their 1/2 cup allotment!
What else will you be serving with the ice cream?
If you're serving cake and ice cream, you'll only need to give your guests 1/2 cup servings.
If ice cream is the main part of the dessert (ex. ice cream sundaes), you can count on your guests wanting more than just a regular serving of ice cream!
How Many Ice Cream Servings Equal...?
This information is based on the traditional 1/2 cup servings of ice cream.
How Much Ice Cream is In...?
This information is based on approximately 2/3 cup servings...probably a more realistic serving size. Still, it's important to know your crowd and prepare accordingly!
How Many Ice Cream Sundaes Equal...?
This information is based on 1 cup servings. If you're serving ice cream sundaes, you can plan on your guests eating 1 to 1 1/2 cups of ice cream!
How Many Ice Cream Sundaes Can I Make with...?
This information is based on 1 1/2 cup servings. If you're serving ice cream sundaes, you can plan on your guests eating 1 to 1 1/2 cups of ice cream!
This info should help you to figure out how much ice cream you'll need for your party or get-together! It's always good to get a little extra - just in case your guests' ice cream servings are a little bigger than you expected or some ice cream melts along the way!
Don't get to stressed though! Enjoy the planning and enjoy the party! You'll be eating ice cream after all!

Action needed for expansion of nuclear energy, says Rising
Steps must be taken to increase nuclear's share of the energy mix, said Agneta Rising, Director General of World Nuclear Association. Speaking at the 10th Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM10) in Vancouver, Canada, yesterday, she said more nuclear energy is needed to meet environmental, economic and sustainable development objectives.

The Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) is a high-level global forum to promote policies and programmes that advance clean energy technology. The Nuclear Innovation: Clean Energy Future (NICE Future) initiative was established at the 9th CEM in Copenhagen, Denmark, in May 2018 to play a crucial role in multilateral dialogue and engagement of policy makers on the role of nuclear energy as part of a low carbon mix contributing to sustainable development.
During a panel discussion at the Breakthroughs: Flexible Nuclear Energy Systems in a Clean Energy World side event during CEM10, Rising said: "Action is needed to expand the share of nuclear generation in the clean energy future. We will need much more nuclear energy if we are to deliver on environmental, economic and sustainable development objectives."
Rising noted that the most efficient use of a nuclear reactor is for it to supply electricity constantly at full output. However, to allow variable renewables to complement nuclear generation in the electricity mix, nuclear reactors are already being operated flexibly where required.
"New designs and technologies will further enhance the ability of nuclear power to facilitate the integration of more intermittent sources into a low-carbon generation mix," Rising said.
World Nuclear Association said 50 new reactors are due to start operating in a total of 12 countries between 2016 and 2020. Two of those countries - Belarus and UAE - are hosting their first nuclear power plants. This new build, it said, is equivalent to adding nearly 15% to global nuclear capacity.
Innovation is key to this growth in the use of nuclear energy, according to the Association. Those 50 new units are based on 17 different reactor designs, and 10 of those designs are being built for the first time, with capacities ranging from 27 MWe to 1750 MWe.
However, World Nuclear Association notes that studies by both the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency have concluded that high levels of intermittent renewable generation, in particular in the absence of nuclear generation, leads to much higher system costs and higher emissions.
"We should take a dispassionate look at what would be the optimal energy system to deliver on our environmental, economic and sustainable development objectives," Rising said.
Rising's call for action came after yesterday's publication by the International Energy Agency (IEA) of its Nuclear Power in a Clean Energy System report. In the report, the IEA makes policy recommendations for the many countries that see a role for nuclear power in their energy transitions. Without policy changes, advanced economies could lose 25% of their nuclear capacity by 2025 and as much as two-thirds of it by 2040, the report says. The lack of further lifetime extensions of existing nuclear plants and new projects could result in an additional 4 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions, it adds.
The nuclear industry has set the Harmony goal for nuclear energy to provide 25% of global electricity by 2050. This will require trebling nuclear generation from its present level. Some 1000 GWe of new nuclear generating capacity will need to be constructed by then to achieve that goal. World Nuclear Association has identified three areas for action to achieve this: establishing a level playing field in electricity markets, building harmonised regulatory processes, and an effective safety paradigm.

Judiciary Not Living Up To Expectation, Says Wike
Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike has insisted that the judiciary is not living up to its expectation in the country.
Wike said: "It is unfortunate that the judiciary is not living up to expectation. I should not be one of those who should be criticising it. But I am saying what is the reality.
"Any judge that does not have the mind and courage is not supposed to be a judge. So, NJC should consider, look at people, look at the judges, can they be courageous to do what is right.
"It should not be just that this person is intelligent. A judge should be firm and give judgment the way the law says it should be."
Wike spoke at the swearing in of Justice Ihenacho Wilfred Obuzor as the Acting President of the Rivers State Customary Court of Appeal at the Government House, Port Harcourt on Thursday.
The Governor recommended to the National Judicial Council (NJC) not to appoint lawyers as judges, who lacked the capacity to be bold and courageous in the discharge of their judicial functions.
Wike said such lily livered judges had moulded the judiciary into an institution that not living up to its responsibility of dispensing justice according to law.
H said the state government would not allow any courageous and bold judge in the state to be blackmailed.
"People must do things according to law. But if you go outside the law and you're punished, count me out. But if you're within the law and anybody thinks that because he has people to punish you, Rivers State government will not agree to it," he said.
Wike also said that all capital entitlements captured in the 2021 budget of the state that was due to the judiciary had been released to it.
He advised against divisions among judicial officers because it would weaken the strength of the judiciary.
Wike expressed shock at the death of the former President of Rivers State Customary Court of Appeal, late Justice Christiana Gabriel-Nwankwo.
The Governor described Justice Gabriel-Nwankwo as one of the state's distinguished jurists who used their knowledge and skills to advance justice delivery.

Survivors of Rwandan genocide, Holocaust come together to share stories at awareness event
Winnipeg - April 5, 2016 –
Joseph Ngoga returned home one evening in 1994 to find his entire family slaughtered by his own neighbours and friends. By the end of the Rwandan genocide against the Tutsis, the 16-year-old had lost almost all of his extended family, witnessed horrors that still give him nightmares, and survived by pretending to be a Hutu.
Stefan Carter was 14 when he and his emaciated mother in the Warsaw Ghetto were ordered by the Nazis to march to a selection site, where his mother was forced on a train to the Treblinka death camp. He later survived the Holocaust by pretending not to be Jewish.
Winnipeggers who survived the Rwandan genocide and their families will hold a free afternoon of sharing and discussion at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) on Saturday, April 9 at 1:30 p.m., moderated by CBC Radio host Terry Macleod. April 7 officially marks the 22nd anniversary of the genocide that saw a million ethnic Tutsi people murdered in 100 days. The event will also include the story of Carter as a Holocaust survivor.
April is Genocide Awareness and Prevention Month, as designated by a unanimous vote in Canada's Parliament last year. Ngoga and Carter will share their stories about two different atrocities with common threads of violation, denial and displacement. The message: When human rights are violated, there is always pressure to cover it up. But silence and denial help the oppressors, setting the stage for more violations. When survivors and their allies speak out, the cycle can be broken.
Malaïka Brandt-Murenzi, a 20-year-old university student, will speak about her experiences as the Canadian-born daughter of a survivor. She has twice visited Rwanda and will share what she has learned and her hopes for the future.
WHAT: Event to mark anniversary of Rwandan genocide against the Tutsis
WHEN: Saturday, April 9, 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
WHERE: CMHR (MTS Classrooms), 85 Israel Asper Way
NOTE: On Thursday, April 7 at 9:30 a.m., Ngoga, Brandt-Murenzi and her father, Évasio Murenzi, will be available for photos and interviews in the CMHR's Breaking the Silence gallery, where the story of the Rwandan genocide is displayed, along with a flak jacket from Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire, who led the UN Peacekeeping force in Rwanda.

The Future of Google Glass: An Interview with Tim Stevens
Corinna Underwood Last updated on November 29, 2018
Last updated on November 29, 2018, published by Corinna Underwood
Corinna Underwood has been a published author for more than a decade. Her non-fiction has been published in many outlets including Fox News, CrimeDesk24, Life Extension, Chronogram, After Dark and Alive.
Tim Stevens is Editor in Chief at Engadget—one of the world's most popular technology blogs. He's also one of the first people outside of Google to wear Google Glass.
Tim describes his first few days wearing Glass as being an exciting experience because the device was constantly delivering information, emails, navigation; there was so much going on in your immediate space, he said, but as time went by, his feelings about Glass began to change.
"After about a week or so, you start to realize that ultimately there's a pretty big commitment to putting this thing on your face and wearing it on your face all day long. So it wasn't very long before I stopped wearing it at home, sitting in front of my computer. I very quickly realized there wasn't any point wearing Glass when you're sitting in front of a couple of displays," Stevens said.
He also soon found that wearing Glass on the way to his New York office was problematic because people were constantly stopping him and asking questions about the device and wanting to try it out. While he was happy to answer their questions and let them try it, it became tricky when he was in a hurry to get to work or meetings on time, so he found it easier to stop wearing it in public.
"At this point, it is a little bit difficult to wear in public, and I don't think it's quite usable enough yet to be worn all the time in private, but I am still very, very excited about the potential of the device," he said.
In the main, he describes his experience with Glass as being positive. Because some people have understandable concerns about privacy issues with the device, Stevens was surprised that no one he encountered had any negative issues with him wearing it, even when he was passing through airport security. He was also surprised by the extent of people's awareness of Glass, in spite of the fact that Google has mass-marketed the device.
In terms of general utility, he found email notifications to be one the most advantageous aspects of the device. As a person who gets frequent emails, his phone is often beeping and flashing to let him know he has a new message, but because Glass let him see who the email was from and the first few lines of the message, he was able to tell straight away if it was important or if it was a message he could save until later.
"Google just also introduced the functionality of being able to have that read to you very quickly by voice. … So now you can speak to Glass and say, 'OK Glass, read this email to me,'" he said.
Another advantage of Glass is the GPS system, which is very similar in style to the ones displayed on mobile phones, rather than a form of augmented reality. This, Stevens says, is less distracting than driving using an mobile phone or onboard GPS because you don't need to take your eyes off the road.
Tim is excited about Glass' potential in terms of augmenting reality. He sees a future in which devices like this will have developed to cover the full field of vision and will be able to provide much more information.
"So that if I sit down at my desk, I don't even need to have monitors here because ultimately I can have as many monitors as I want to and they're all virtual," he said.
Currently, although Glass and similar devices do make messaging, navigation and Internet more efficient, they can only offer relatively minor modifications of reality. As technology advances over the next couple of years, we may possibly see devices with much more widespread functionality.
"You can imagine never having to commute to work. You can imagine sitting in your home office and having a co-worker walk into your office and having a face-to-face conversation with that co-worker even though they're across the country or even across the world," he said.
This would mean that people would be free to leave their homes as and when they want to, not because they have to. The time and freedom that such augmented reality would provide would encourage people to go out and do things they really enjoy rather than spending hours of their day commuting to work.

#MindControl: Google Glass Becomes BCI
Since its inception, Google Glass has been demonstrating the potential to offer a wide range of applications within the field of brain-computer-interface (BCI) technology, and it's about to go one step further. According to a report at Neurogadget, at team at Kennesaw State University's Brainlab has developed a prototype that will allow a Glass user to interface with and give commands to Google Glass using evoked brain responses rather than swipes, nods or voice commands.
Ethical Technophile: Through the Looking (Google) Glass
The future has a way of sneaking up on us. Part of the reason for this is the accelerating pace at which new technologies are developed, as predicted by Moore's Law. But another reason for this is that before a technology gains mass market acceptance, chances are that is has gone through an extensive research phase and many failed iterations. Consider Google Glass. Even though the consumer edition of Glass won't hit the market until next year, the device is already making waves.
The View through Google Glass – with Tim Stevens
Google Glass is a hands-free, increasingly mobile way of going wireless and staying connected. Tim Stevens, Editor in Chief of Engadget tech blog, is one of the few pioneers in trying out Google Glass, actively wearing and trying out the 'Explorer Edition', a gateway to augmented reality in the 4th dimension.
How Visions of the Future Can Mold Reality: An Interview with Ariel Waldman
Whether it's literature, science fiction movies or other forms of art, can the visions of a possible future actually help to mold or influence actual future outcomes? According to Ariel Waldman, people do look to fiction as a means of stimulating change.
Interview with SciFutures CEO Ari Popper
On the surface, it might be easy to make the argument that the farthest thing from business operations is science fiction. Star Trek and IPOs aren't known for having any kind of direct correlation, and unless you're making futuristic video games, there doesn't seem to be any explicit reason to study Ray Bradbury or Isaac Assimov.

'Finding Kendrick Johnson': A documentary for reopening the Kendrick Johnson case
Jackie Johnson
Matthew Allen
American weather presenter
American actress, singer
Jenifer Lewis opened up about the film she executive produced and narrated on theGrio's 'Acting Up' podcast
Over the past few months, the news has been bombarded with the story of Long Island native, Gabby Petito, her disappearance, death, and the subsequent search for her fiancé, who has been the key person of interest in regards to her death. While attention on this case has been vast and immediate, the case of a 17-year-old high school student Kendrick Johnson was swept under the rug so severely, it required an independent filmmaker to create a documentary about it in order to keep it from disappearing from history.
Finding Kendrick Johnson follows the tragic story of a Black American family. Actually, no, that's not accurate. The film speaks to a fear that ALL Black American families face; that one day, their child will walk out the front door for the very last time, all because someone felt their skin color made their life was expendable. A 17-year-old boy dies under mysterious circumstances in 2013, found rolled up inside of gym mat in his school and his family is not given the courtesy, empathy, and delicacy that any other white American family would receive if that were to happen to them.
(Credit: Johnson family)
Kendrick's parents, Kenneth and Jackie Johnson, were forced to hire outside investigators to look into his death because law enforcement and surrounding agencies of the government were just callous, inefficient at best, or blatantly covering things up at worst. Why should parents have to result to protesting and handcuffing themselves to courthouse doors just to get justice for their child?
Now, the logistical negligence of the Valdosta, Georgia law enforcement, medical examiners, and Lowndes County sheriff's department was overwhelmingly shocking. Ruling that Johnson's death was accidental asphyxiation because he allegedly climbed into a gym mat to retrieve a shoe and get stuck without any physical evidence is one thing, but when the family had his body exhumed and hired Clinical Pathologist Dr. Williams R. Anderson to do a secondary forensic autopsy on Kendrick, that autopsy suggested otherwise.
Physical evidence in his lungs showed that he did not asphyxiate and his death was likely caused by non-accidental blunt force trauma to the head and neck, and let's not forget to add that all his internal organs were removed and replaced with newspaper. Cased closed, right? Sadly, it wasn't.
More evidence lead to two white brothers that knew Johnson from school. Brian and Branden Bell were named persons of interest enough to compel a federal search warrant on their home. This is when all the dominos should've fallen. However, The Bells' father was an FBI agent. So you know where this story's going without even reading the remainder of the article.
(Credit: Gravitas Ventures/ Prime Video)
The documentary, narrated and executive produced by actress Jenifer Lewis, exposes the lack of thorough follow-through to lead to an arrest for Kendrick's death but implicates facts that lead Kendrick's family, Metro Police Homicide Detective and case whistleblower Mitch Credle, and others to believe that the ultimate dismissal of the case was due to cover-up on several levels.
"While the state of Georgia continues to cover up, even without evidence going viral worldwide, they covered this case up, y'all," Lewis told theGrio during the podcast Acting Up. "The FBI stormed the Bell's home. You know how much evidence the FBI has to have to storm somebody's house with guns, AK-47s out? And then when they got in there and saw that it was an FBI agent, it was just pushed under the rug, just pushed under the rug. Another Black kid. So what?"
Not only that, but the film links Johnson's death to not only the deep-rooted history of lynchings of Black youth in this country, such as Emmett Till, but also the repeated acts of covering up the incidents from the mainstream, like when 14-year-olds Ernest Green and Charlie Lang were lynched by a white mob in Mississippi after being falsely accused of assaulting a white girl in 1942.
When you see the ghastly, grotesque images of Kendrick's bloated, disfigured face in the film
Another revelation from the film is the specific history of racially motivated violence that is historically tied to the city of Valdosta and Lowndes County. It was there in 1918 that a Black woman named Mary Turner was lynched for speaking out against, wait for it, her husband's lynching. Eight months pregnant, a white mob tied her up, cut her baby out of her stomach so that it fell to the ground, killed the baby by stomping on its head, and then hung Mary.
A post shared by Finding Kendrick Johnson (@findingkjmovie)
Acting Up's host, Cortney Wills, even brought up the fact that Ebony Magazine was sued for covering the Kendrick Johnson story because they implied the involvement of the Bell brothers in the reporting. So, cover-ups for the lynchings of Black youth are still a thing in 2021.
To bring it full circle, in September, Frank Somerville, an anchor on KTVU in California, was suspended indefinitely for wanting to cover "missing white woman syndrome" due to the overwhelming reporting of Gabby Petito and the underwhelming reporting of countless missing Black women, as reported by The World News.
When you see the ghastly, grotesque images of Kendrick's, bloated, blood engorged and disfigured, that enough to make you angry. Knowing the Valdosta law enforcement, the FBI and the DOJ saw them, and the end result was that there wasn't enough evidence to pursue the case further, it only further crystalizes that infamous James Baldwin quote, "To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time. "
Black Americans can be only one of two things; enraged or indifferent. The duality of being in a constant state of fury or being rendered utterly desensitized by America just being America again is emotionally taxing and spiritually exhausting.
With everything that the Black man and woman has accomplished, innovated and contributed to this planet, why do other races, particularly white Americans, think killing us for minor infractions or innocuous actions is no big deal? Well, the fact that the multi-tiered efforts to bury Kendrick's life and story means that it's a bigger deal than they make people think.
So, the culture of negating the deaths, disappearances, and murders of Black men, women, and youth in this country is far-reaching and as contemporary as ever. Lewis doesn't want the same thing to happen to the Johnson family, which is why she took part in the documentary. She wants to make sure that people know the facts and use them to push to get the case reopened.
"You need to share and share and share and share the documentary. Let the people hear the facts," Lewis said. "Don't post it once, post it 10 times. Get it out there."
Finding Kendrick Johnson was released in October and is available to stream on Prime Video.

Folk Traditions and Rituals #15, #16, #17
#15.
Custom: The Lighting of the St Paul's Christmas Trees
About: A special annual service in which the crib is blessed and the Christmas trees are lit. It's hard to find anything concrete about its history – but it's not as old as you'd expect. In fact, even as late as the 1930s, one writer states that the chapter of St Paul's felt uncomfortable introducing the Christmas tree lights 'innovation'.
Custom: The Ceremony of the Keys
About: It's said to be the oldest military ceremony in the world, performed nightly for 700 years. At 9.53pm, a 7 minute long, faultlessly choreographed tradition takes place, as the Yeoman Warders and Queens Guard lock up the tower for the night. Tickets to watch it are free, but they go 12 months in advanced. Nonetheless, on the night I saw it (the 21st December) 40 people didn't show up – so the ten of us that made it were treated to a private tour of the tower and the guard room by the very generous beefeater, Moira.
Custom: The Boxing Day Mummers Play
About: Mummers plays are one of the oldest surviving traditions of the British Christmas. This one, performed outside Gloucester Cathedral on Boxing day, has been going for about half a century. It follows the traditional structure – two characters engaging in combat, revived by a quack doctor. Several Morris sides also perform (including my Grampy's old side – Lassington Oak).
Custom: The Boar's Head Ceremony
About: One of London's oldest traditions – it's been traced back to 1343. Like several of these city traditions, it has its roots in land rental. A group of butchers in London got into trouble washing meat and disposing of entrails near a local monastery. To settle the issue, the Lord Mayor of London gave them some land to use, in exchange for a boars head every November. The boar's head was paraded from Butchers Company hall down to Mansion House, but they now use a model (with the real boar's head in place, ready for carving, at Mansion House.)
Custom: The Tar Barrels of Ottery St Mary
About: Said to have started in the 17th century, barrels coated in tar are set alight and carried through through the streets on villagers' backs. Thousands of people turn out around November 5th, to dodge the flames as the barrel carriers run at the crowds.
Custom: The Lord Mayor's Show
About: Over 800 years old, and still going strong, the Lord Mayor's Show is a huge spectacle. It's the longest and old procession in the world, accompanying the newly elected Lord Mayor as he or she travels to Westminster to swear allegiance to the crown and begin their year in office.
Custom: The Festival of St Cecilia
About: An annual celebration of the patron saint of Music, St Cecilia, and all musicians in general. All proceeds and donations goes to Help Musicians UK, that helps thousands of musicians in hardship each year.
Folk Traditions and Rituals #9, #10
Custom: Braughing Old Man's Day
About: A man called Matthew Wall, in the 16th century, supposedly had a lucky escape from being buried alive, when the pallbearers slipped on some wet leaves as they were carrying his coffin to Braughing church. The fall jolted him awake, and he lived to be an old man. A bequest left in his will commemorates that day – local school children sweep the path down to the church, and the current owner of his cottage paying the church £1 every year.
Custom: Harvest of the Sea Festival Service
About: Traditional harvest festival ceremony near the old site of Billingsgate Fish Market. A fishmonger stall is set up inside the church, and the wares are blessed by the pastor. The service itself is carefully curated, with fishy verses and songs about the sea.
Folk Traditions and Rituals #8
Custom: London Bridge Sheep Drive
About: Exercising their centuries-old right (as freemen of the city) to drive sheep across London Bridge, the Worshipful Company of Woolmen annually herd a flock back and forth. Unfortunately health and safety precludes it from being a fun public event, with it happening behind big barriers and many security guards, so this picture will have to do.
Salad #5
Name: Cherry Chard Wild Rice
Chef: Jamie Oliver
Recipe: Cook the rice in a pan, steaming chopped chard in a colander above it. Finely chop the cherries and mix with rice wine vinegar and red wine vinegar. Slice the walnuts, then the chard. Drain the rice, add the cherry dressing with the chard and crumble in the feta. Toss, season, and sprinkle over the walnuts.
Custom: Pearly Kings and Queens Harvest Festival
About: Charitable cockney folk, dressed in black suits and hats covered in pearly buttons, welcome the changing of the seasons with an afternoon of morris dancing, maypole-ing, and 'Maybe its because I'm a Londoner'-ing.

Blue Ridge Parkway: Natural gas pipeline proposal in Asheville up for public comment
Derek Lacey
Public comment is open for a proposal to drill a new natural gas pipeline underneath the Blue Ridge Parkway near Bent Creek in Asheville.
Members of the public have until Feb. 5 to comment on the proposal from Dominion Energy North Carolina, the National Park Service announced.
To complete the work, Dominion needs a right of way permit for construction, operation and maintenance for the 760 feet of 12-inch pipeline on National Park Service property.
According to the environmental assessment, Dominion Energy is working on a new pipeline to reduce pressure on an aging segment of existing pipeline and repurpose it from transmission to lower-pressure distribution service, increasing reliability of natural gas services.
It would cross underneath the parkway adjacent to a Duke Energy powerline cut across the French Broad River from Bent Creek, near the under-construction Pratt & Whitney facility.
The company recently constructed about 11 miles of 12-inch diameter steel natural gas pipeline, it says, starting from Duke Energy's Asheville Energy Plant in Arden and ending near the intersection of U.S. 23 and N.C. 112 in Enka Village.

The crossing proposed under the parkway would be the last of seven horizontal directional drills for the project, including three crossings of the French Broad River and one crossing of Interstate 26, it says, and the final unconstructed section of the pipeline.
According to the assessment, the pipeline is replacing an older segment along Brevard Road, on the "shoulder of heavily-trafficked, geologically/topographically challenged and otherwise developed" portions of the state Department of Transportation's right of way.
The pipe would be at least 50 feet underground, including 115 feet below the existing roadway surface and the horizontal drill would be located more than 800 feet from the parkway and 380 feet from national park property, the assessment says.
"No grading, land clearing, tree removal or other land disturbances within the proposed ROW on the Parkway property are proposed," the document says.
About 760 feet of new, 12-inch steel pipe would be installed beneath National Park Service property, adjacent to the existing 143-foot-wide clear-cut Duke Energy transmission line right of way.
Water would be drawn from the French Broad River for drilling and testing of the horizontal direction drill, adjacent to the ongoing construction of the new bridge over the river to service the Pratt & Whitney plant.
Returns from that drilling and testing would be filtered and returned to the river, through filters structures approved by the state Department of Environmental Quality, the assessment says, the same that have been successfully implemented at other locations along the same project.
Based on National Environmental Policy Act and National Historic Preservation Act analysis, it says, "the proposed action is not anticipated to have significant impacts to Blue Ridge Parkway resources."
See the entire 202-page assessment, and provide comment on the proposal at parkplanning.nps.gov/DominionT2ROWBuncombe.
More:Blue Ridge Parkway mostly open in Asheville corridor, some parts to close for maintenance
According to a letter included from the state N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, the proposal would temporarily impact 1,312 feet of named and unnamed tributaries to the French Broad, including Hominy Creek, Clayton Creek, Boring Branch and Pond Branch, permanently impacting 43 feet.

The Wildlife Resources Commission says wild trout won't be impacted, and no trout moratorium is needed. The French Broad River supports a number of rare and listed species in the area, including the Appalachian elktoe and Creeper mussels, Eastern hellbender salamander and blotched chub.
"Effective erosion and sediment control on the project are essential to minimize impacts to those species," the letter says, offering seven recommendations to minimize impacts on wildlife.
Those include avoiding equipment maintenance in the area, installing sediment and erosion control measures and developing a frac-out contingency and containment plan in case there's an unintentional release of drilling fluids.

Lolo Jones' Olympic odyssey nears its end, bringing tears
Associated PressNov 16, 2017, 3:51 PM EST
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) — There are six women pushing bobsleds this season for the U.S. national team. Of those, only three will be picked to race in the PyeongChang Olympics.
Lolo Jones is in the group of six.
She would do anything to be in the group of three.
Her World Cup season debut is Friday night in Park City, Utah, when she's pushing the USA-1 sled driven by Elana Meyers Taylor.
They'll be big favorites to win a medal, and should be in the mix for gold. But the medal Jones wants most — the one she's chased for more than a decade — only gets handed out at the Olympics.
And this might be her last shot.
"There's so much frustration and so much pain," Jones said, breaking down in tears when talking about her Olympic odyssey. "I try not to be jealous of other people, but there's been so many people I've beaten along the way who have gone on to get medals. What have I done wrong? Why can't I finish this? And then I get teased for it. It's very frustrating."
Jones was mere steps from winning 2008 Olympic 100m hurdles, leading the final before her right foot clipped the next-to-last hurdle and sent her stumbling.
She was one tenth of a second from bronze in London four years later. After transitioning to bobsled, she went to the Sochi Games in 2014 in the USA-3 sled and wasn't in contention.
So at 35, Jones — a two-time world indoor hurdles champion who couldn't contend for the Rio Games because of injury — hopes her time is now.
"When you're Lolo Jones, you've always got a target on your back," men's push athlete Chris Fogt said. "She's not what you'd expect a million-dollar athlete, someone who's made more than the rest of us have made combined, to be. She's got all her Twitter followers, been on 'Dancing With the Stars,' been on MTV. But you talk to her, she's very gracious."
Jones is not for everybody, and she knows this.
Her level of fame has created some jealousy among other athletes over the years, in both bobsled and track. Her tweets and generally outspoken ways have been known to rub people the wrong way.
Her beliefs — she's a devout Christian who reads her Bible daily and is still waiting to have sex until marriage — have been a lightning rod for critics.
"I falter with my faith sometimes," Jones said. "I'm not perfect. I think once that was out there that I'm waiting until I get married, everybody was like, 'Oh, she's this angel, she thinks she's better than us.' And then they meet me and they're like, 'Oh, she cusses?' So no, I'm not perfect. But I do try to be the best I can be."
She's no diva, either.
Bobsled teams don't have expansive support staffs. Athletes load the sleds into trucks before and after races, do some of the maintenance, load the crates at the end of racing weekends and get everything ready to be shipped to the next track on the circuit.
Jones does all that with no complaints.
And when her male teammates were asked what they find most impressive about Jones, they didn't cite her model-type looks or fame or fortune.
The top answer was that she can drive a stick shift, a skill that comes in handy since many of the vehicles the team gets on the road have manual transmissions.
"I told her, I was straight up, if you're going to be good at bobsledding you have to focus on bobsledding," U.S. coach Brian Shimer said. "She's got grit and stamina, and sometimes it gets in her way. She's wired in a way that it's been OK for her as an individual running track. I really think she thrives, though, in a team setting."
Jones took Shimer's words to heart.
She left money on the table by skipping the 2017 track season. She kept her bobsled weight — an extra 20 pounds or so — to build strength she needs for sliding.
Her selection to the 2014 U.S. Olympic team was criticized by some teammates who thought it was based on popularity. It was awkward, and still stings Jones.
She's proven she's legit, with seven medals in 16 World Cup starts. But she also wonders if any 2014 fallout will hurt her chances to be picked for a medal shot in 2018.
"I feel like I've been through it all in my career," Jones said. "I've been America's sweetheart in '08. I was America's fill-in in 2012. I don't even know how to describe Sochi."
She'll run track again next year. There's no guarantee she'll continue bobsledding after this season. She wants to find love, get on with life. New chapters need to be written.
So there's urgency, perhaps more than ever, for that medal moment.
"I just want to finish what I started," Jones said, tearing up again. " I know I have what it takes to be an Olympic medalist. I know I have what it takes to be an Olympic champion."
All she wants now is one more chance.

(Reuters) - U.S. stocks dropped for a second straight day on Friday, weighed down by another rise in Treasury yields in the wake of a solid jobs report that capped off a week of robust data.
The losses were led by heavyweight stocks in the technology and communication services sectors including all members of the so-called FAANG group – Facebook (FB.O), Amazon (AMZN.O), Apple (AAPL.O), Netflix (NFLX.O) and Alphabet (GOOGL.O). Online retailer Amazon, part of the consumer discretionary sector, lost 1 percent.
Non-farm payrolls increased less than expected in September, likely due to the effect of Hurricane Florence, though data for July and August was revised higher, and the unemployment rate fell to 3.7 percent, a Labor Department report showed.
The report pushed longer-dated U.S. Treasury yields higher, with the 10-year US10YT=RR note touching 3.248 percent. That piled more pressure on U.S. stocks, which are trading near record-high levels, raising concerns about valuations in the pricier names with the corporate earnings reporting season on tap.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI fell 180.43 points, or 0.68 percent, to 26,447.05, the S&P 500 .SPX lost 16.04 points, or 0.55 percent, to 2,885.57 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped 91.06 points, or 1.16 percent, to 7,788.45.
The technology sector .SPLRCT sank 1.27 percent, dropping for the second day in a row on a fall in Intel (INTC.O) and Microsoft (MSFT.O).
The recently constituted communication services sector .SPLRCL, which houses Netflix, Facebook and Alphabet, dropped 1.04 percent.
The only gainer among the 11 major S&P sectors were defensive utilities .SPLRCU, which advanced 1.57 percent.
Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 2.15-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.27-to-1 ratio favoured decliners.
Volume on U.S. exchanges was 7.62 billion shares, compared to the 7.16 billion average for the full session over the last 20 trading days.

Barcelona's Arthur suffers house burglary during Liverpool clash
By Feargal Brennan - 2 May 2019, 13:50
Barcelona midfielder Arthur suffered a house break in during his side's 3-0 Champions League win at home to Liverpool on Wednesday night.
The Brazilian was named as a substitute by Ernesto Valverde for the visit of the Premier League title challengers in the semi final clash, and he returned home to find his home raided, according to a report in Marca this morning.
The report confirmed that none of his family members were present during the incident, with his brother watching the game from the stands at the Camp Nou – contrary to earlier incorrect rumours that he had been threatened with a screwdriver, by the thieves.
Amongst the items reported to have been stolen during the robbery are a designer watch and several items of jewellery.
The former Gremio man is not the first Barcelona player to have had their house broken into during the 2018-19 season, with international team mate Philippe Coutinho and Kevin-Prince Boateng both having the homes raided whilst playing in matches in the past twelve months.
