Bill Gates joins nuclear-powered shipping push
Bill Gates, one of the richest men in the world, has turned his attention to getting ships powered by nuclear energy.
The Microsoft co-founder, who turned 65 last week, is also chairman of TerraPower, a nuclear tech company that today announced a new venture with Mikal Bøe's CORE POWER, French nuclear materials handling specialist Orano and American utilities firm Southern Company. The four companies plan to develop molten salt reactor (MSR) atomic technology in the United States.
"We're pleased to work with such outstanding partners in developing game-changing technology to help transport and industry transition to a clean energy future," said Mikal Bøe, CEO of London-based CORE POWER, which has been making headlines in recent months for its atomic batteries aimed at the marine market.
The four companies have submitted an application to the US Department of Energy to take part in cost-share risk reduction awards under the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Programme to build a prototype MSR, as a proof-of-concept for a medium-scale commercial-grade reactor.
"The implications of the MSR for transport and industry could be transformational, as we seek to build scale-appropriate technology and broad acceptance of modern and durable liquid-fuelled atomic power to shape the future of how we deal with climate change," Bøe commented today.
The CORE POWER units are based on marine molten salt reactors (m-MSRs), a technology using thorium that dates back to the 1960s and is capable of powering the largest ships afloat today.
In the m-MSR atomic battery, the fuel is the coolant and the coolant is the fuel, so coolant cannot be lost. Thorium is a weakly radioactive metallic chemical element found most commonly in India and is a substance that Gates' TerraPower has been studying closely of late.
Admitting the technology would not be cheap to install on ships, Bøe has proposed a leasing model for his batteries, similar to those deployed for aircraft engines.
Bøe's atomic battery invention (pictured below) has been much discussed in the shipping industry in recent months.
At a webinar in Singapore last week, Andreas Sohmen-Pao, the chairman of BW Group, discussed the potential dramatic market shifts brought about by atomic energy being deployed widespread on the merchant fleet.
"The change in the industry is going to be massive and maybe catastrophic because you will have ships going 50% faster because the fuel is essentially free once you've paid the up front capex investment and the tanks will be empty because you will have cheap electricity around the world without intermittency," Sohmen-Pao mused.
Bjørn Højgaard, the CEO of Hong Kong shipmanager Anglo-Eastern told sister title Splash Extra in September: "I think that in 50 years nuclear molten-salt-reactors will be par for the course in the shipping industry, and we will look back at the current time and wonder why we dabbled in alternative pathways for greenhouse gas-free propulsion."
Writing for Splash earlier this year, Bøe claimed: "The reality is that the only viable technology which can deliver a durable combination of close-to-zero emissions, marine-level reliability, walk-away safety and competitive economics, is atomic energy."
Bøe's extensive shipping career has seen him work as chief risk officer to well-known shipowners in the past decade, developing what he claims was the first internet venture for the shipping industry back in the 1990s and establishing Cleartrade Exchange in Singapore 10 years ago.

Terzini is back this summer with TEN PIECES for his interstate fans in Melbourne.
TEN PIECES began as the brainchild of Maurice Terzini of Bondi Icebergs fame and Ian Nessick of Restricted Premises. Following a successful launch in 2011 and the more recent pop-up store in March, Terzini is back in the driver's seat for his second TEN PIECES collection that will be showcased in a guerrilla store in Melbourne.
The vision behind TEN PIECES is simple: 10 pieces, all unisex, all interchangeable. "It's all about finding a personal uniform that is modern, timeless and provides for easy dressing" say Terzini. This explains why everything is black and white, allowing the fashion-forward to mix and match the entire collection with ease. Inspired by parkour, boxing and Japanese punk, TEN PIECES's latest has a strong sporty influence for those who like their clothing comfortable yet on point.
Those intrigued can check out the pop-up store at 10 Crossley Street from 6 November. Expect an online store to be launched before Christmas.
The Ten Pieces pop-up runs from Thursday November 6 until sold out.


Drawing in Dark: Baubles !
Those who read our last post know we've made a model Stephen using, amongst other things, some of our tree decorations. But where, you wanted to know, were his baubles ?
To get the range of movement we needed in his shoulders we needed ball and socket joints - we could have bought them online but having come up with the idea of making a Stephen, naturally we wanted to play with it now and couldn't wait that long.
We had a bag of black plastic beads left over from making bookmarks and some tubing that would fit into that to make our ball- but what to use for the socket? It turned out that the little collar with the hanging loop on top of our baubles was just the right size- and joy of joys, they simply pop off !
We cut a small section of tubing and glued it into the hole in the bead. Rich cut a hole in the top of the collar and threaded the ball part through post first to complete the set.
*blinks* ooo that's ingenious. and slightly insane.
the fingers are fixed or are all joints flexible?


In what is probably one of the biggest game conferences for Ubisoft, their E3 2018 presentation capped off with the official announcement of the studio's biggest franchise. Assassin's Creed Odyssey, a game initially leaked because of a keychain and officially confirmed a couple of weeks ago, was unveiled with a cinematic trailer and a playable demo at E3 2018.
In Odyssey, players take the role of a Spartan, the child of Leonidas. You can either select a male or female character (Alexios or Kassandra) without any impactful change in the story or gameplay. Instead of a hidden blade, the protagonist carries Leonidas's spear, said to be a First Civilization artifact imbued with a magical power.
Odyssey is the first game in the franchise with a lot more RPG elements inserted into it. There are multiple choice dialogues, branching quests, multiple endings, and even multiple romance options for the discerning player. Character outfits are also far more customizable, with improved loots and an "engraving" system which allows for more customizations in character stats and passive abilities. Skill trees are also more clearly defined, depending on your playstyle.
Naval warfare is still a staple in Odyssey, considering that the map has more sea area than other AC games. A great number of characters, be it villains or NPCs, can be recruited as part of your crew in the Adrestia. And speaking of maps, Odyssey's world is the largest ever for the franchise.
Other features of the game include a 300-piece massive land battles for your character to participate in, a political faction system that can easily be manipulated through a series of quests, a really nifty photo mode, and a verbal sparring with Greek philosopher Socrates.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey will be out for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 5, 2018.

Prestbury Village Stores, Cheltenham
By Ieuan Hughes2017-10-06T16:33:00+01:00
For 10 years, Jerry Tweney worked for retailer Guy Warner, as part of the Warner's Budgens. Now he has opened his own store, in Prestbury, near Cheltenham
Chicks never fly far from the nest and that's certainly true of Jerry Tweney, who after years of working for Warner's Budgens in Gloucestershire, has gone it alone and opened his first store, in Prestbury, near Cheltenham.
It's a big step for Jerry, who was manager of Guy Warner's Budgens Moreton-in-Marsh store for more than a decade, and the fulfilment of a long-held ambition. "I first had an interest in running my own store when I left Safeway in 2003," Jerry explains. "I didn't want to work for Morrisons, but then I heard that Budgens were selling their stores to independent owners. I looked for a store in the area, but Guy had bought them all! Then he asked me to come and work for him and help him in his Moreton store. I was meant to stay there a couple of years, to get things up and running, and ended up staying for 10!"
Jerry says his time at the Moreton store raced by, as there was always a new project to focus on. However, the dream of owning his own store never went away. "About two years ago, I again started to look for my own store to buy. I thought now I'm approaching 50 (I'm 48 now), if I want my own store then now is the time to do it," Jerry says.
Last year the right store came up and Budgens Prestbury Village Stores opened its doors at the end of August.
One of the first decisions was whether to stick with the existing Premier fascia, but for Jerry switching to Budgens was a natural move. "I know how Budgens works. Their fresh range is superb and I get a delivery about three times a week at 5.30 in the morning, and they're never late. We must be running at 90% availability in the store at the moment."
Store Facts
Prestbury Village Stores
Size: 1,600sq ft
Staff: 7 part-time
Basket Spend: £6.04
Opening hours: 8am-9pm Monday - Sunday
Services: Parcel collection, home delivery, ATM, Payzone
Another consideration for Jerry was ensuring any changes were in keeping with the 400-year-old store's long history. "John Forger owned this store for 40 years and the Queen Mother used to visit when she went to the Cheltenham races. The car used to pull up outside, and the streets would be lined with people, because everyone in the village knew she was coming. John would come out, shake her by the hand and give her sweets and flowers for the day."
Therefore the thatched roof, wooden beams and period features of the Grade II-listed Prestbury store have been preserved, with Jerry complementing them with a fresh, but traditional, store design.
Jerry says: "We have evolved what was done here before. The store is now split into three sections: food to go; chilled & fresh; and kitchen cupboard."
At the front of the store are snacks and confectionery along with food to go and 'grab and go' products. The store now offers hot food alongside sandwiches, cakes and donuts. "We have also put in a Rijo bean-to-cup coffee machine and reinstated the in-store coffee shop," he adds.
"We do about £400-worth of hot food and about 100 coffees a week. Even if we did 30 coffees a week we would be breaking even on the machine."
Local goods play a key role in the product mix, too. "Our best-selling product at the moment is bread. It's from a local supplier, North's Bakery, and gives people a reason to come to the store," he states.
"When we first got North Bakery's range in, we had the usual selection of white bread, wholemeal and so on. Then we were told to try their Marmite & cheese bread, which took a bit of persuading because I'm not a fan, but now it is our best-selling bread and our customers love it."
A selection of eggs, fruit and vegetables also come from local suppliers, some just a couple of miles away, and the fresh meat section includes cuts from the village butcher.
Jerry's aim is to make sure the store appeals to all the village's residents, from elderly people to young professionals, school kids to busy mums. "We have a real mix of customers here ," he says. "At the moment our busiest time is between six and eight in the evening when people come back out to pick something up for dinner."
Hence the store is focusing on ready meals for the evening "as it could be a real growth opportunity for us," Jerry asserts.
Like many new business owners, Jerry has been thankful for the support of fellow retailers and suppliers when starting out on his own. He says: "It's nice as a new business owner to have suppliers and other retailers looking out for you, because when you start a new business you need all the help you can get!
"Suppliers such as Heineken and Coca-Cola have been really helpful, giving us special shelves and merchandising advice." He adds that Budgens and Booker have also been a support, "getting products in the right place and organising everything by category".
The help has paid off, says Jerry, "as everything has surpassed our expectations, which is really exciting".
Sales figures on the up
The Prestbury store previously turned over £3,000 as a Premier before Jerry bought it. Jerry has quadrupled that figure to £12,000 a week, but he is already aiming to increase it to £15,000 over the next 12 months. The store's basket spend has also gone up, from £3.80 to £6.04.
Jerry is confident that he can hit his target, despite facing plenty of competition in Prestbury and Cheltenham. "Our big local competition is Sainsbury's and there is also an M&S Simply Food forecourt about a mile and a half away. We also have a Costcutter and Premier close to us in the centre of Cheltenham," he says.
Keen price promotions are helping keep shoppers coming back, though. "We have 150 promotions in store and are working to get the right offer that works for us," says Jerry. "That includes niche products that can't be found in Sainsbury's. It creates a nice point of difference to have local products that people want."
Jerry has an order book behind the counter where customers can make requests for products that the store doesn't have, and the store's new website is also launching in the next couple of weeks. He is working with the post office next door, too, to distribute flyers to local residents.
"The reason we haven't launched our marketing straight away is because we want the store to grow gradually. It has surprised us how much the store has grown in such a short amount of time without any marketing," he adds.
Now he has a better idea of what locals want, spreading the word about the store will take a bigger priority.
"We are holding a sampling and tasting weekend soon. We are going to try to bring people into the store and showcase local products, and some branded produce, too, especially Budgen's new range of ready meals. "We want feedback so that we can keep getting better," Jerry adds.
The positive reaction from local people has surprised Jerry, but he can see he is giving something back to the community by breathing new life into Prestbury Village Stores.
"We have had one or two people who haven't been here for five to 10 years and they stand outside and say 'Wow, they have made some changes here!', which is always nice to hear."
Jerry acknowledges that there is plenty more to do at the store, and that it isn't award-winning material just yet – "more division two than premier league" – but in a few years' time Jerry wants to be sitting alongside fellow retailers at all the industry awards.
He says: "When you look at award-winning stores that have a credible range of fresh food and do a storming trade in spaces smaller than ours, I look at that and think I want to do something like that in our store."
Now that he has spread his wings, there's no holding Jerry back.

Introduction: Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) of the liver is a rare vascular tumor. We introduce a case with EHE of the liver who is presented with lungs symptoms.
Case Presentation: A 45-year-old man who was a known case of lung chemical injury due to exposure to mustard gas presented with a 2-year history of non-productive cough. He denied any gasterointestinal (GI) symptoms such as pain, diarrhea, constipation, bleeding, vomiting and nausea.
Conclusions: Imaging study revealed a large lobular mass in liver along with lung metastasis. Pathology test result confirmed an epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the liver.
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) of the liver is a rare vascular tumor (1-4). EHE can present with nonspecific and heterogeneous clinical manifestations, variable symptoms and even without any symptom (5). We introduce an interesting case of a large EHE of the liver, associated with lungs metastatic symptoms. This patient has mild elevation in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level but his transaminases level is normal.
A 45-year-old man was a known case of lung chemical injury due to the exposure to the mustard gas in the war 20 years ago. Although he had lung injury following exposure to the mustard gas he remained free of any lung symptoms until recent years. He reported a 1-year history of non-productive cough. This cough was described as paroxysmal mostly during day time, unaccompanied by constitutional signs, such as fever. Although the patient's cough persisted more than one year, the diagnosis of cough was not sought exactly during his prolonged period. He has been to numerous doctors for his conditions (COPD) but the medications were not effective. His appetite was good and denied any GI symptoms such as pain, diarrhea, constipation, bleeding, vomiting, nausea, melena, hematemesis etc. The patient's coughing was noted to be vigorous in recent months and several chest X-rays couldn't show any pathology in lung in past. Clinicians requested computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest which revealed lung metastasic lesions (diffuse small nodular lesions) and a large liver mass in few images of chest CT. The patient was referred to our GI clinic for more evaluation. His physical examination was unremarkable except for multiple nevus (brown papules and macula with regular borders and pigment) which were seen on his back.
Laboratory data showed: WBC: 10300/mm 3 (Neutrophil: 60%, Lymphocyte: 22%, Monocyte: 1%, Eosinophil: 17%), Hb: 10.9 g/dlit, PLT: 223,000/mm 3 , ESR 1 st hr: 90mm, ESR 2 nd hr: 104mm, AST: 17IU/L, ALT: 29 IU/L, ALP: 417 IU/L (up to 306), T Bili: 0.3 g/dlit, D Bili: 0.1 g/dlit, PT: 15, INR: 1.3, PTT: 45, T protein: 7.4 g/dlit, Albumin: 3.6 g/dlit, Urea: 30, Cr: 0.9 ng/ml, CEA: 2.3 ng/ml, AFP: 1.3, CA 19-9:9 U/ml and LDH: 328 IU/L. Anti HCV, HBS Ag, and HBS Ab: negative. Peripheral blood smear just showed hypochromia, anisocytosis, and microcytosis in red blood cells. Serology of hydatid cyst was negative. Then, we requested abdominal and pelvic CT scans (Figures 1 and 2).
An ill-defined hypodense mass is evident in segment 3 of left hepatic lobe (thin arrow), mildly extending to caudate lobe (curved arrow), which shows mild homogeneous contrast enhancement in delayed phase. There is also proximal dilatation of intrahepatic bile ducts at subcapsular region of left lobe due to mass effect (thick arrow).
There are two peripherally located hypodense mass lesions in subcapsular portion of right hepatic lobe (segment 6) without significant enhancement in this phase. One of them shows central punctate calcification (thick arrow). There is also an enlarged lymph node at aortocaval region (curved arrow).
An ill-defined hypodense mass is evident in segment three of left hepatic lobe (thin arrow), mildly extending to caudate lobe (curved arrow), which shows mild homogeneous contrast enhancement in delayed phase. There is also proximal dilatation of intrahepatic bile ducts at subcapsular region of left lobe due to mass effect (thick arrow) (Figure 2). There are two peripherally located hypodense mass lesions in subcapsular portion of right hepatic lobe (segment 6) without significant enhancement in this phase. One of them shows central punctate calcification (thick arrow). There is also an enlarged lymph node at aortocaval region (curved arrow).
Radiologist reported that liver size was normal and its density was homogenous. There was a large heterogeneous and mild enhancing mass with lobular margin, measuring about 120×85 mm in the left lobe of liver which almost occupied the left lobe entirely. Large vascular of the left lobe was encased and displaced by the mass, but these were not seen within IVC (inferior vena cava) and portal vein thrombosis. At least four similar and smaller mass within 6 th segment of liver lobe were depicted. Conglomerated lymph adenopathies were seen in the celiac axis and peripancreatic region. Gall bladder, intra and extra hepatic biliary tree were normal and ascities was not seen. We performed needle biopsy of the liver under ultrasonography guide. Pathologist reported EHE diagnosis with immnohistology. (Figure 3) He was referred to an oncologist for chemotherapy due to metastatic lesions.
Figure 3. (A). Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.
EHE is a rare tumor and often needs radiologic - pathologic correlation for diagnosis (1-4). We faced with a large mass in the patient's liver but surprisingly he only presented with lungs metastatic symptom without any GI symptoms. 25% of EHE patients are asymptomatic but the common clinical symptoms are abdominal pain 48.6%, hepatomegaly 20.4% and weight loss15.6%.Other symptoms are jaundice, nausea, ascitis, anorexia, and fatigue. Cough has been reported in just 1% of patients (5). Although exposure with sulfur mustard gas could induce cough. He was free of symptom for a long period of time after exposure to the mustard gas. Other respiratory complications due to the mustard gas are chronic bronchitis, asthema, bronchectasis and pulmonary fibrosis. It is also reported that caricinogenicity effect on organs may be followed by exposure to the mustard gas. Yet there isn't any available report regarding to association between EHE and mustard gas still (6). In this case, it seems that there is no relationship between mustard gas exposure and EHE.
Most of patients (83%) have abnormal findings in laboratory data (5). Although there was a large mass in the liver and it is expected to see high level of ALP, this case showed normal aminotransferases level along with mild elevation in ALP level. Tumor markers like CEA and AFP are often normal and just exclude other primary and metastatic liver tumors (1, 5). Imaging feature can help the diagnosis including secondary capsular retraction (1-4), a multifocal appearance and peripheral location of the lesions (2), calcifications (2, 3, 5) and pulmonary nodules (2).The right lobe (5-8%) was involved more than left lobe (1%) in both multifocal and unifocal lesions (5). This case had a large mass in left lobe with typical appearance of EHE.
Some clinicians recommended a definitive diagnosis by histopathology results because these signs aren't specific (1, 4). EHE needs good core biopsy from target lesion and an expert pathologist. The histology beside immnohistology can prepare definite diagnosis (5). It's difficult to distinguish between multicentric and metastatic lesions due to the nature of tumor (4, 7). In this case, it seems that the primary centre of tumor was in liver and then lung metastasis has occurred subsequently. Extrahepatic involvement was seen in 36.6% of patients at time of diagnosis and the most common site is lungs (8.5%) then regional lymph nodes (7.7%). We introduced a rare case of a large EHE of the liver whom presented with a dry cough without any GI symptoms. Imaging features enabled us to diagnose a large mass with lobular margin which pathology results confirmed the details. Histology evidences are helpful to avoid misdiagnosis with other tumors.

Q: Issue with CSS animation and ng-hide for shrinking sidebar I have a sidebar which can be shrinked. On shrinking, only the corresponding logos are visible.
The problem with it is that the shrink/unshrink animation is not right - on unshrinking, when 'ng-hide' is not active (the element is being showed), it gets on to the next line because it cant fit into the available width. And after the with animation is complete, it fits. As you can understand, this is not a good UX.
Here is the demo of my problem:

button{
    margin-bottom: 50px;
}

#bar{
    background: yellow;
    width: 200px;
    transition: all 0.5s linear;
}

#bar div{
    border: 1px solid red;
}

#bar.shrinked{
    width: 50px;
}

#bar div span:first-child{
  font-size: 75%;
}

span.menu {
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;

    position: relative;
    -webkit-animation: glowy 0.5s;
    -webkit-animation-delay: 0.6s;
    animation: glowy 0.5s;
    animation-delay: 0.6s;

    -webkit-animation-fill-mode:forwards;
    -moz-animation-fill-mode:forwards;
    animation-fill-mode:forwards;

    opacity: 0;
}

/* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
@-webkit-keyframes glowy {
    from {opacity: 0;}
    to {opacity: 1;}
}

@keyframes glowy {
    from {opacity: 0;}
    to {opacity: 1;}
}

    <button ng-click="shrink=!shrink">Toggle Shrinking</button>

            logo1
            This is a menu.

            logo2
            This is another menu.

            logo3
            And one more menu.

I tried to play with it using opacity animation, but the element is added right away when the ng-hide class is removed. Animating display property is not supported by browsers yet.
How do I fix this?

A: Just add white-space: nowrap; to your #bar div { … } selector.

button{
    margin-bottom: 50px;
}

#bar{
    background: yellow;
    width: 200px;
    transition: all 0.5s linear;
}

#bar div{
    border: 1px solid red;
    white-space: nowrap;
}

#bar.shrinked{

1118. Robert Southey to Grosvenor Charles Bedford, 13 November 1805
1118. Robert Southey to Grosvenor Charles Bedford, 13 November 1805 *
Keswick. Nov. 13. 1805.
Dear Grosvenor
There has been as great a gap in our correspondence as I have seen in the seat of my brother Sir Domine's pantaloons, after he has been sliding down Latrigg. [1] Sir I shall be very happy to give you a slide down Latrigg also, if you will have the goodness to put it in my power so to do – & then you will understand the whole merits of the simily.
Sir there are many reasons to be assigned for the aforesaid gap in the correspondence on my part, whereas there are only two possible causes for that in the pantaloons. I have been to Edinburgh Sir, & have been doing half a thousand things since my return – but you – on your part have ————— upon which ————— in consequence ————— & thus ———— from which it appears undeniably that ——————————— & this I take it to have been the reason of your silence. There Sir is a Specimen of my skills in divination, – in return for which I shall be happy to receive from you Specimens [2] of something else.
I inclosed to Rickman certain papers for your perusal sub sigillo, [3] there was no reason why he should have been in any hurry to write, but as there is reason that you should tell me whether you really are aboveground or not – you may let me know that they have arrived safely. A second batch is ready tho not in exact sequence. I wish from you hints & emendations for what is done or what is yet to do. You cannot judge till the next importation arrives of the range & variety of the matter.
Will you Butlerize Mr Bedford. [4] By the core of Williams heart, [5] which I take to be the hardest of all oaths, & therefore the most impossible to break I will never cease presenting you with that question & that advice, till you actually set that good ship afloat, in which you are to make as fair a voyage to the port of Fame as ever Englishman accomplished. Mr Bedford it appears to me that Englishman accomplish that said expedition better by sea than by land – & that therefore the metaphor is a good one – A Sea-horse better than Pegasus. – Do do begin, & begin by writing letters to me which may be your first crude thoughts, & I will unpack my memory of all its out-of-the-way oddities & give them to you for cargo & ballast.
Elmsley will have told you of our adventures in Scotland, if the non-adventures of a journey in Great Britain at this age of the world can deserve that name. I am returned with much pleasant matter of remembrance well-pleased with Walter Scott, with Johnny Armstrongs Castle on the Esk [6] with Xxxx pleasant Tiviotdale, with the Tweed & the Yarrow: [7] astonished at Edinburgh, delighted with Melrose, [8] sick of Presbyterianism, & above all things thankful that I am an Englishman & not a Scotchman. The Edinburgh reviewers I like well as companions, & think little of as any thing else. [9] Elmsley has more knowledge & a sounder mind than any or all of them. I could learn more from him in a day than they could all teach me in a year – Therefore I saw them to disadvantage inasmuch as xxx xxx xxx xxxx I had xx better company at home. And in plain English, living as I have done & by Gods blessing xxx continue to do, in habits of intimate intercourse with such men as Rickman, William Taylor, Wordsworth & Coleridge, the Scotch men certainly did appear x to me very pigmies, – literatuli. [10]
I go to Portugal next year, if politics permit me, – & expect to to take Edith & the Edithling with me for at least a two years residence, taking the voyage & the trouble of removal. this is a pleasant prospect. I love the country, & go well prepared to look for everything that I can want. My winter will be fully employed & hardly I am at my reviewing, [11] of which this year I take my leave for ever. It is an irksome employment, over which I lose time because it does not interest me. A good exercise certainly is it, such I have found it, but it is to be hoped that the positive immorality of serving a literary apprenticeship xxx <in> censuring the works of others will not be imputed wholly to me. In the winter of 1797 when I was only twenty three & a half I was first applied to to undertake the office of a public critic! [12] precious criticism! & thus it is that these things are done. I have acquired some knowledge, & much practice in prose at this work, which I can safely say I have ever executed with as much honesty as possible but on the whole I do & must regard it as an immoral occupation, xxx unless the reviewer has actually as much knowledge at least of the given subject as the author <upon> whom he undertakes to sit in judgment.
When will your worship call upon me for my Preface? [13] May I [MS torn] you – that my Patres nostri [14] frequently reminds me that we are losing time thereby hinting that loss of time is loss of money.
What a death is Nelsons! [15] it seems to me one of the characteristics of the sublime that its whole xxxx form is never perceived at once. the more it is contemplated the deeper is its effect. – When this war began, I began an ode which almost I feel more disposed to compleat – take the only stanza –
O dear England! O my mother Isle
There was a time, when, woe the while!
In thy proud triumphs I could take no part; –
And even the tale of thy defeat
In those unhappy days was doomed to meet
Unnatural welcome in an English heart –
For thou wert leagued in an accursed cause
O dear dear England! & thy holiest laws
Were trampled underfoot by insolent Power.
Dear as my own hearts-blood wert thou to me
But even Thou less dear than Liberty
I never ventured on – for fear lest what follows should fall flat in comparison. almost I could now venture, & try at a funeral hymn for Nelson [16]

The Order of the Good Death is a death acceptance organization founded in 2011 by mortician and author Caitlin Doughty. The group advocates for natural burial and embracing human mortality.

Along with Doughty, members include Sarah Chavez, Director of The Order of the Good Death, Megan Rosenbloom, Director of Death Salon, and Amber Carvaly, Director of Undertaking LA. Other notable members are artist and monument-maker Greg Lundgren, TED speaker Jae Rhim Lee, alternative funeral home director Jeff Jorgenson, artist Landis Blair, forensic pathologist Judy Melinek, author and photographer Paul Koudounaris, and other death professionals, artists and academics.

The group held its first "death salon" in Los Angeles in 2013. Another salon was held in 2014 at St Bartholomew's Hospital Pathology Museum in London by museum curator Carla Valentine.

The group took its name from the Brazilian Order of Our Lady of the Good Death.

Death-positive movement
The term "death positive" was popularized by Caitlin Doughty as a play on the term sex positive. The death-positive movement is a social and philosophical movement that encourages people to speak openly about death, dying, and corpses. The movement seeks to eliminate the silence around death-related topics, decrease anxiety surrounding death, and encourages more diversity in end-of-life care options available to the public.

However, the ideas behind the movement have existed much longer. The Order of the Good Death website lists the beliefs of the death-positive movement as being that cultural censorship of death and dying does more harm than good, that open discussions about death should be accepted as a natural human curiosity, that families should have full rights to care for the bodies of their loved ones without intervention from funeral businesses, and that end of life care should be diversified and performed in ways that cause less damage to the environment than our current practices. The movement also strongly encourages participants to speak to their families about their own end of life wishes, even if they are young and healthy, and is critical of the commercialized funeral industry. It also encourages people to express their feelings about death through art. Other organizations such as Going with Grace, founded by death midwife Alua Arthur, are contributing to the movement through their online courses and End of Life Training Program. In 2021, Alua and Caitlin launched a new online course, Mortal, giving an opportunity for students to explore their own mortalities. End Well, founded by physician and film producer Shoshana R. Ungerleider, hosts an annual conference and media platform to highlight solutions to make the end of life experience more human-centered. Death Over Dinner, founded by restaurateur and author Michael Hebb along with Angel Grant, is an organization that encourages people to have dinner parties to talk about mortality which has facilitated more than 200,000 dinners.

When working in a hospital setting, safety management is absolutely critical to keep employees, visitors, and patients feeling secure. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (or OSHA) is a federal agency that regulates workplace safety and has stated that people have the right to a safe work environment. Hospitals must comply with several medical workplace safety regulations, including radiation exposure, blood-borne pathogen exposure, fire safety training, and exit door requirements.
OSHA enforces hospital employers to take all the necessary precautions to maintain safety in a hospital workplace. If not managed properly, hospitals can be a very dangerous place. It is critical for all areas to comply with OSHA licensing regulations, including sanitation and proper handling and disposal of hazardous materials. This is the case for all places within a hospital – from the reception area to the exam rooms.
It is also necessary to follow OSHA regulations in equipment safety. Hospital equipment must be tested regularly to make sure everything is in good condition and functioning properly. It is also necessary for graphic symbols or safety signs to be present in the workplace to keep medical staff safe from accidents and injuries.
Another important requirement is the disclosure of all information about hazardous materials on premises in the hospital. A written list must be available at all times so medical staff can avoid poisoning and contamination.
For those in the medical workforce, preparing to graduate from a healthcare program, or aspiring to enter the field of medicine, it's important to know the rules and regulations when it comes to keeping you and your patients safe.

A RE:CAP OF THE CAPE TOWN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL '17'
"Hi Responsive Studio, we're hosting a 10-day International film festival and we need full coverage from the first session in the morning to the very last salt rimmed cocktail in the evening… do you think your team is up for it?"
Cameras. Cocktail parties. Celebrity crushes...
Were we up for it?
You BET we were.
Our phenomenal team of 8 people captured over 40 videos and 1000 high-quality photographs which we shared on social media a mere hour or two after the event took place.
We became human machines, we earned a 207.7% increase in followers across all the channels and we loved every moment of it.
So what is the Cape Town International Film Festival?
The Cape Town Film Festival (CTIFMF) is a world-class event that celebrates the art of film.
It also provides a platform to connect local filmmakers and international production treaty partners. This means our talented local actors, producers, and directors are able to explore opportunities with people from all around the world.
The festival has been listed for 2 years in a row as one of the leading film festivals in the world by International Film Guide. It's a big deal and it brings international traction to the City of Cape Town.
2017 was the 10th year of the festival and the biggest yet. It combined forces with the Chinese Film industry and South African celebs like Sharlto Copley, Pearl Thusi, Maps Maponyane attended (to name drop just a few!).
The Challenge /Brief
Capture main events, interviews, vox pops, B-roll and cutaways to craft a well documented narrative of the happenings in video format.
Photograph and record live content creation and social media management during the duration of event.
Our Solution/Method
- 150 + photo's delivered and over 1000 taken
- Average of 40 Instagram stories per day
- We released 43 top class videos covering every part of the festival.
vox pox
cocktail parties,
And these were released 1 to 2 hours after the events happened
How we implemented it
We had 8 in the team that went to CTIFMF and this team did all the production, social media, photography and videography.
Here's what we were able to achieve:
(Note: this was all organic and the platforms had little to no traction before we started)
What did the client think?
"…It never once felt as if Responsive Studio was a service provider. Thanks for believing in us and shoving your shoulder under our vision, taking it with us across the finish line. We look forward to an explosive collaboration in the years ahead." - JEHAD KASU (Marketing Director of the CTIFMF17)

After the twelve days of Christmas, Christians celebrate Epiphany on January 6. The word epiphany means "manifestation," and on this day, we commemorate the Magi's arrival and adoration of Jesus. It's the day that Christ was revealed to the Gentiles.
Epiphany is the culmination of our journey through the seasons: from the longing of Advent, to the jubilation of Christmas, and now a celebration of our unity in Christ.
Epiphany reminds us of the universal mission of Jesus. He came for all people — rich and poor, Jew and Gentile, slave and free, male and female — because, as the Apostle Paul tells us, we "are all one in Christ Jesus" (Gal. 3:28).
Epiphany always falls on January 6, but since January 6 is often a weekday, many churches hold an Epiphany service on the Sunday falling between January 2 and January 8. For some years, this means Epiphany is celebrated during Christmas.
Epiphany traditions vary widely across denominations and cultures — a picture of the beautiful diversity of the church. Two traditions in particular have taken root.
The traditional Kings Cake is a cake or pastry with a trinket or other object hidden inside, often a toy baby representing the infant Jesus. Searching for the trinket symbolizes the Magi's search for the Christ child.
Host an Epiphany party, and have your guests bring dishes from all over the world. Top off the feast with a Kings Cake. The one who finds the trinket must host next year's party.
Another tradition involves marking the doorpost of the home with chalk and reciting a brief prayer. The traditional markings are a series of numbers, symbols and letters.


Surprise thing happens for the reasons, then whether it will be a small surprise or a whole cake of walk. We all heard from time to time that China being the best in blocking the foreign land sites, the list includes the entire top notch like Google, Facebook and Twitter. Now the surprise, according to a September 2012 GlobalWebIndex report, there were 35.5 million active users in China during Q2 this year (surprised).
The report further says that there were33 million active Twitter users, coming second on the place, Mexico accounts for 11.7 million active users while US and Brazil accounts for 22.9 million and 19.6 million active users. GlobalWebIndex estimated that there were total of 124 million users that posted to the service while 262 million were active during the quarter.

SAU Athletics Earns Perfect Scorecard Again!
For a second consecutive year, St. Ambrose University ranks among just a handful of National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics member schools that earned a perfect score of 100 on the NAIA's Champions of Character Five-Star Institution Scorecard.
A total of 183 NAIA member schools were named Five-Star Award winners for the 2016-17 academic year, but only 14 earned a perfect score in the competition, which measures an institution's commitment to character training, conduct in competition, academic focus, character recognition and character promotion.
Points also are awarded based on exceptional student-athlete grade point averages and by having minimal to no ejections in competition.
"We are proud to see our St. Ambrose athletes, coaches and athletics staff honored yet again for the character they display in competition as well as for the commitment to academic excellence that they bring to our classrooms," said Sr. Joan Lescinski, CSJ, PhD, president of the university. "All of them represent what we believe intercollegiate athletics should be about in exemplifying our mission of enriching lives."
NAIA Champions of Character measures character training, conduct in competition, academic focus, character recognition and character promotion.
The award caps a 2016-17 academic year in which the SAU Athletics Department led the nation with a total of 20 NAIA Scholar-Teams, a distinction that requires cumulative team GPAs of 3.0 or better.
Three additional Fighting Bee programs in not-yet-fully-NAIA-sanctioned sports - athletic band, men's bowling and women's bowling - also had qualifying GPAs. The cumulative GPA for St. Ambrose varsity athletes was 3.23 (out of 4.0) over the past academic year.
The men's indoor track and field team also earned the Champions of Character Team Award in its sport, and SAU athletes contributed significantly to the more than 156,720 hours of volunteer service the SAU community amassed in 2016-17.
Of the 183 schools that earned Five-Star status by scoring 60 or more points in the scorecard system, St. Ambrose was among 66 who won Gold-Star member status with a score of between 90 and 100.
"We are very honored to again be recognized as a Five-Star Institution," SAU Director of Athletics Ray Shovlain said. "This is a compliment to our coaches and student-athletes and reflects the University and the Athletic Department's commitment to character-driven athletics."
St. Ambrose was one of eight Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) members named a Five-Star Institution, but one of only two members in the conference to receive a Gold Star. The NAIA recognized the CCAC as a Five-Star Conference.
St. Ambrose has been a Five-Star Institution every year since the NAIA Champions of Character Scorecard program was introduced.

One of the most rewarding areas of my work has been working in education. I have used my wealth of experience and knowledge of the music industry and journalism by teaching at a number of institutions across London and writing modules for new courses. I currently run the Level 6 Freelance Journalism module at University of West London and have recently contributed six new modules to a new HN in Music qualification Levels 4 and 5, for Pearson Learning – the UK's largest awarding body in education. These modules cover DJ business and culture, the impact of technology on culture and business, and musicology – all modules have a strong focus on gender, race, sexuality and class in the context of representation.
In recent years I have been lecturing at University of Westminster on the BA Commercial Music and the BA Commercial Music Performance courses, on subjects ranging from marketing and brand development through to DJ culture and business – all explored through a sociological lens. Combining theory and practice is my field of expertise.
From 2009-2012 I was Deputy Director of the Popular Music Foundation Degree at BANM (British Academy of New Music) in Bow, London, which was a fantastic experience. I had the honour of working with some extremely talented individuals.
In October 2012 I launched a new eight week music journalism course with the London Journalism Centre, hosted in venues in Dalston and Clerkenwell. The course features practical skills as well as an insight into industry know-how and the chance to pitch to publications for possible commissions. Read more here for details. I have since handed over the reigns to a new delivery team.

Travel, Cruising, Crashes and Cats
Hacienda Tijax
Fronteras, Guatemala
The work on the Norway property continued at full steam during the first week of August. Ole needed to get back to the Sovereign to take a break from his working vacation!
After a very long trip home from Norway (Gjaeroy to Bodo; overnight Bodo; Bodo to Oslo to Newark to Houston to Guatemala City; overnight; bus to Fronteras — total time 3 days), we arrived back at Emma Jo to find her in good shape, and the cats excited to have us home. The only fatality was what our boat sitter Lucy referred to as a "broken water thingy" — turned out to be the main water pump. Fortunately we had a new one onboard, which was lovingly installed by our neighbor Sim, on the s/v Alianna. He's a great guy and fellow chief engineer — he works as chief on a British tall ship used to train sailors and rehabilitate youth at risk. Cool project.
Oscar, our varnish guy, had nearly finished some very good work on the teak — varnishing the cap rails and rub rail to a faretheewell. We were so proud, and eager to remember boating, that we decided to take the last weekend before Ole's return to the Sovereign and travel with Spiff aboard Ruthy L, a 46-foot Fisher motor sailor, for a short trip on Lake Izabal.
Rafted Up with Ruthy L
We visited Denny's Beach, a small but beautiful Canadian-owned resort, rafting up on our anchor in flat-calm water and dinghying ashore for lunch. What a lovely spot — with a white sand beach, walking trails through the jungle, and deluxe accomodations for the rich Salvadorans and Guatemalans who come down for vacation. After lunch was the obligatory nap, then a weighing of anchor for a trip further west along the north shore of the lake. We dropped anchor, rafted up again (on our anchor), and prepared for the sundown ritual of cocktails on the "back porch." We had just settled in, admiring the squall line approaching on the mirror-flat water, when it all went horribly wrong.
The wind went from zero to 25 knots in a heartbeat — then the chop followed, causing Emma Jo and Ruthy L to buck the chop in tandem. The bucking lasted about 10 minutes, and then the wind stopped — unfortunately the chop increased — then turned to hit us directly on the side. The tandem bucking turned in to side to side bashing, bending the horns of our through-hull bow cleats, snapping Spiff's bow line, and aiming the pointy end of his sailboat right at our bridge. It took about 5 minutes to cut each other loose, and for Spiff to circle around and drop his own anchor.
A morning assessment showed that all of Oscar's good work was in vain — we had six feet of chewed up rubrail, a huge gouge in the bow caprail, and a 2-foot tear in the fiberglass of the Portuguese bridge. Spiff, though 10 tons heavier, fared a bit worse, having the caprail split and lifted clean off the starboard bow of his boat, and the turnbuckles holding up his main shroud bent beyond recognition.
We are still speaking to each other.
Maggie (the fat orange cat) had lost some weight, and was beginning to look really bothered by the heat, panting heavily and acting lethargic. There's a veterinarian who comes downriver once a month for shots and health papers, who was kind enough to stop by the boat for a look at her — and he seemed to think there was something dreadfully wrong, probably thoracic. Unfortunately, there is no veterinary clinic or laboratory on the river — the nearest full service clinic is in Guatemala City. There began the grief. If the cat is ill, then putting her in the carrier in the heat, going by boat to the bus stop, waiting for a 6 hour bus that may or may not have air conditioning, getting in a taxi, finding the clinic, then overnighting in a hotel only to return the same way would only add to her stress.
Eugene (the owner of Tijax) offered to take me to his vet in Puerto Barrios, about an hour away, as he and his wife and child needed to do some shopping there. So I drugged the cat, put ice in baggies in her carrier, and trudged her over the Tarzan bridges to the parking lot.Maggie started panting in the parking lot, and by the time we were halfway to Morales, the poor cat was panting so hard I thought she was going to have heart failure right there on the spot. But with the AC going full blast, after about 20 minutes on the road she calmed down. About 5 miles outside Puerto Barrios, traffic came to a screeching halt for over an hour – there had been an accident that was in the process of being cleared. The backup went all the way into town – so the one hour trip lended up to be a 3 hour trip by the time we got in to see the "vet". Although he used to run a zoo, the vet now owns a pet store. No clinic, no lab, no x-rays. Just haul the cat out of the carrier onto his sales counter for a perfunctory exam. No temperature; no fluid in the lungs; tachycardia (irregular heartbeat). He asked me how old she was, I said "13" and he said "she's getting old. Give her some vitamins." Period. Nice man, but clearly not curious about what was causing the irregular heartbeat, and no press to offer more help other than to give her vitamins and keep her from losing weight by making sure she has enough to eat (!) Total time: 10 minutes. There were customers in the shop. So veterinary care here is a reflection of the culture, and cats are pretty low on the food chain.
By the time the shopping was finished, the 3 hour trip had taken about 8 and a half hours, and I know no more than when I left. After this experience, I'm really not willing to subject her to any more travel stress, and will have to figure out how to keep her comfortable and happy until the end. It makes me sad that I can't do more for her.
Along with the cat drama came word of Hurricane Dean, which looked like it was going to make a direct hit on us. There was some minor scurrying around the marina to remove canvas and secure lines, but the Rio Dulce's reputation as a hurricane hole stood. We got winds of about 5 knots, and 12 hours of rain — making the river rise about a foot here. They don't call it a hurricane hole for nothing!
And thank goodness for good neighbors. Shortly after Ole left for Sovereign, I noticed alarm lights on the forward bilge pump and shower pump, and investigation found that both had burned themselves out. Our neighbor Ken on s/v Novena, helped me find a replacement shower pump, and our long lost friend Spiff installed it for me. Although it's supposed to be automatic, it's not quite perfect — requiring running upstairs naked to turn it on (I forget to turn it on as I'm stepping into the shower), then rushing back upstairs to shut it off.
Without Ole here, Sim and Rosie, and Ken and Patty, English sailors moored near us, have adopted me and take me everywhere — most often to the Sundog Cafe for happy hour a couple of times a week. Some days we visit the "Ropa Americana" vendors who take pallets of Goodwill clothing and overstocks sent down from the states and offer clothing for sale cheap. My most recent finds are a denim sundress (Bobbie Brooks) for $3, and a tennis skort (Jones New York) for $2. I'm beginning to forget how to even spell "Nordstrom."

Cysteine is an important amino acid in the redox defense of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily as a building block of mycothiol. Genetic studies have implicated de novo cysteine biosynthesis in pathogen survival in infected macrophages, in particular for persistent M. tuberculosis. Here, we report on the identification and characterization of potent inhibitors of CysM, a critical enzyme in cysteine biosynthesis during dormancy. A screening campaign of 17 312 compounds identified ligands that bind to the active site with micromolar affinity. These were characterized in terms of their inhibitory potencies and structure-activity relationships through hit expansion guided by three-dimensional structures of enzyme-inhibitor complexes. The top compound binds to CysM with 300 nM affinity and displays selectivity over the mycobacterial homologues CysK1 and CysK2. Notably, two inhibitors show significant potency in a nutrient-starvation model of dormancy of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with little or no cytotoxicity toward mammalian cells.

Genghis Khan, The Conqueror and Leader
Categories: Genghis Khan
The Conqueror and Leader of The Modern World
Genghis Khan was a man of great stature, which came on throughout the years. From being a Military Conqueror to be a leader in his time really made Khan's name very popular. Khan was undefeated in his time, not only because of his army of thousands, but also because of his fearless demeanor and his courage to conqueror.
Genghis Khan was a powerful leader that chose to lead his people into his newly conquered city of Bukhara.
" Genghis Khan, The Conqueror and Leader "
(3) Khan eventually let everyone around him know who he was and what he was about. Khan's attack came upon due to the provoking of the sultan of Khwarizm, who made a fatal attack and made Khan upset. The sultan looted a Mongol caravan and disfigured the faces of Mongol ambassadors, and then sent their people to negotiate peaceful commerce. (4) This single move alone grew tension between Khan and the sultan. Upon entering the city of Bukhara, Khan made one of his most powerful secret attacks in military history that left everybody thinking about how they could defeat a man this clever and smooth.
writer-Charlotte
Proficient in: Genghis Khan
" Amazing as always, gave her a week to finish a big assignment and came through way ahead of time. "
Khan and his army of thousands choose not to draw any attention to themselves by traveling on one of the coldest days of the month across the desert. (4) A move that clever was just what Khan needed so no one would be suspicious of his clever moves and his quick-thinking skills. This was his most silent move ever for a man that did not like a lot of attention.
Instead of transporting slow moving siege engines and heavy equipment with them , Khan's army decided to build whatever they needed when they reached their destination. They cut down trees and used was needed along the way to build their equipment and ammo. (4) Genghis Khan quickly came to the conclusion that this was no sporting contest but merely a commitment of one people against another. (8)
Khan believed that God sent him to punish those who committed the greatest sins. If you had not committed the greatest sins God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.(7) Temujin, also known as Genghis Khan was married to a lady name Borte, who was captured by some of his rivals and apparently raped by one of the capturers.(36) Temujin and Borte reunited and she gave birth to her eldest son who drew suspicion upon Borte. (36) Khan named the boy Jochi which meant visitor, or guest this really made Temujin (Khan) upset. Khan used his own methods of communication in which he never uttered a word, this included the use of torches, whistling arrows, smoke, flares, and flags. (72)
Khan was about 60 years old and yet he was determined to conqueror as many cities, towns, and armies that he could. Genghis Khan was not taught to fight properly, nor did he go to any special schools for it, he had to learn day by day and hour by hour. Khan's mass manipulating skills was the master mind behind all his attacks in which he was undefeated. Genghis Khan's leadership was the main thing that made his most vicious rivals try to do whatever in their power to defeat him. Khan who was also known as Temujin in his younger years had a mentality to get what and who he wanted made him come to the conclusion that his once childhood friend Jamuka who he had fought for more than 20 years was, and whom people he had executed due to the mere fact that they had betrayed him by bringing him to Temujin that they were just friends trying to defeat their own territories. It was during their final meeting that Temujin convinced Khan that they should reunite and become companions. (63) Genghis Khan would often let his captives, and his enemies know that it was God's will for him to conqueror many territories. It is the will of God that we take the earth and maintain order. (111)
Genghis Khan and The Mongols captured, killed, and did whatever was necessary to gain as many people, and countries as they could overtake. Age, ethnicity, or gender did not matter to Khan or his Mongols, whether they were male, female, old, or young he captured them all. (111) Genghis Khan and his army never had time to fear anyone, because he was willing to fight no matter the consequences. Being victorious was all Khan thought of, and many who knew that they couldn't defeat Khan and his army surrendered and joined Khan's army and those who didn't join them would suffer tremendously. Genghis Khan had people stuck in their cities due to his fighting and capturing. The people fought, died, and starved, and among all the fighting, the bodies continuously fell and were used for a number of things like covering pot holes, making paths in the road, and most of all as nourishment to others. This kind of nourishment was called cannibalism in which the people ate of the dead bodies to survive. (93) Life in Khan's days were rough, and harsh, but when you want it all you must make sacrifices such as the ones Khan and his people made.Many years passed and now Khan had a bigger problem on his hands.
The mere fact that he knew he was going to expire one day and he needed to know that he had placed his son's in place to be rulers over each of his many conquered territories. Khan relied on his people to nominate which son would conquer which territory, and which son would be the Great Khan Leader in which he would follow his footsteps. Before Khan's death he had to agree that he accepted his eldest son Jochi as his own in order for his other sons to acknowledge him as their brother. (120) Upon Genghis Khan's death his sons were now going to carry on his Legacy. Khan's sons had to come to the agreement to lead and conquer in the same way as their father. Khan's sons were all types of out of the ordinary in which they kind of shamed their family name. Khan's son Ogodei never understood how someone could defeat anyone on horseback like his father did.
Now mind you he was a drunk trying to be as great of a ruler and a conqueror like his father. (133) Today the Life and Legacy of Genghis Khan still remains. A Spirit Banner has been hung in remembrance of Genghis Khan. In conclusion I think Genghis Khan was a very Great conqueror that fought the way he did because he wanted his people to be safe. Khan made his name stand out throughout The Modern World. Khan overtook and conquered many countries in 25 years, that was less than the four hundred years it took the Romans. I think the boldness and courageous movements of Genghis Khan was outstanding in the way he lead his army of thousands. Genghis Khan was truly the Greatest Conqueror of The Modern World.

DARIEN — Darien girls hockey coach Jamie Tropsa has made his rounds in the coaching world.
After starting at Darien High School as a boys coach before heading to Iona College and then New Canaan before circling back to Darien behind the girls bench, Tropsa has seen and accomplished plenty.
However, this winter was something special, and it all culminated with being named the the Hearst Connecticut Media Girls Ice Hockey Coach of the Year.
The 2015-16 Blue Wave, led by Tropsa and Hearst Connecticut Media MVP Georgia Cassidy, won both the FCIAC and state titles and only lost once during their historic season, finishing 23-1.
Tropsa attributed much of his team's success to continuity, as he has known and coached many of his players since they were 10-years old.
Tropsa is an important cog in what has become a machine of championship-producing teams at Darien High School. Just in this season Darien won conference and/or state titles in field hockey and football and swept boys and girls hockey.
Another venture that Tropsa has a large hand in is the growth of girls hockey in the state. Not currently recognized by the CIAC, the sport is both growing in some ways, especially in the FCIAC, and stagnant in others — namely upstate teams or schools lacking interest that have to combine with other programs to stay afloat.
While 2016 was in many ways a competitive and successful year for girls hockey Tropsa hopes others will follow the blueprint of schools such as Darien which requires a lot of time and patience.


NEVER use your gas range to heat your home.
Have qualified professionals inspect your gas heater and fireplace each year.
Keep papers, gasoline, fluids, paints, curtains and rags away from gas appliances.
Ensure gas appliances are vented properly.
Keep a fire extinguisher near gas appliances at all times (CO2 or dry-chemical for the kitchen).
A gas leak could be happening if you smell a distinctive natural gas odor, hear a hissing or whistling sound near a gas appliance or see dead vegetation or bubbles near a gas line.
Leave the building immediately and call 1-800-ENTERGY (368-3749) or 911. Entergy employees are trained to handle gas emergencies.
Refrain from using other devices that might create a spark, such as light switches, telephones, and even computers.
Do not re-enter the building until Entergy has told you it's safe to do so. Gas leaking from an appliance, gas meter or broken pipeline needs immediate attention and action.
Call 811 (Louisiana One Call) before digging into the ground.
Digging jobs such as planting a tree can damage and disrupt vital services to an entire neighborhood, harm those who dig and result in expensive repair costs.
All utilities, including Entergy, are required to respond within two business days to locate and mark the underground utility lines.
Entergy operates, maintains and monitors the buried gas pipelines in your area to ensure the delivery of safe and reliable gas service.
Entergy can install an excess flow valve on your natural gas service line.
An Excess Flow Valve is a mechanical device installed on some natural gas service lines (the underground line that runs from the gas main line to the meter). It is designed to minimize or stop the flow of gas by automatically closing in the event that a service line becomes damaged. Such damage usually results from some type of digging or excavation.
The installation of the device is not required for the normal, safe operation of the gas service line. If activated, the excess flow valve is designed to minimize or stop the flow of natural gas to a house or structure, reducing the risk of injury and/or property damage. The device does not protect against leaks at the meter or leaks beyond the meter assembly on house piping and appliances.
If requested, Entergy will install the excess flow valve on the customer's service line as close as possible to the main natural gas line. It will require Entergy to dig the service line up near the street to install the device. This work will also cause gas service to be interrupted for a short period of time while the device is being installed. Gas service will be immediately restored once the installation is complete.
The average cost to Entergy customers requesting an excess flow valve installation is expected to be approximately $1,000, but the actual installation cost varies depending on the difficulty of the installation.
Due to gas system operating characteristics and limitations, in some instances, excess flow valves cannot be installed. Each situation will be evaluated upon request.

Grace Holloway est un personnage de fiction jouée par Daphne Ashbrook dans le téléfilm Le Seigneur du Temps (1996) dérivé de la série Doctor Who. Chirurgienne cardiologue de San Francisco, Grace est considérée comme étant la seule compagne du  à avoir été vue à la télévision.

Le personnage dans l'univers de Doctor Who
Chirurgienne cardiaque de garde dans un hôpital de San Francisco, Grace est appelée pour y soigner le Septième Docteur, blessé dans une guerre de gang à Chinatown dans laquelle il s'est retrouvé par erreur. Ne sachant pas que celui-ci est un extra-terrestre et ignorant sa physiologie, l'intervention de Grace finie par le tuer. Après sa régénération, le huitième Docteur désorienté tente de la retrouver car c'est la dernière personne qu'il a vue. Ensemble, ils tentent d'empêcher le Maître d'ouvrir l'Œil d'Harmonie et de détruire la Terre la veille du . À la fin, Grace demande au Docteur de rester, mais celui-ci repart dans le TARDIS.

Caractérisation du personnage
À l'origine, la nouvelle assistante du Docteur devait être une volontaire de la seconde guerre mondiale, nommée Jane McDonald, mais avec l'arrivée du scénariste Matthew Jacobs cette idée fut abandonnée au profit d'un personnage de chirurgienne moderne. D'abord nommée Kelly Grace (en hommage à la princesse Grace Kelly) puis Grace Wilson avant de devenir Grace Holloway.

Dans l'épisode, le personnage est plaquée peu de temps avant le début de l'épisode par son petit ami et elle démissionne de son travail à la suite du cas du Docteur. Le Docteur la décrit comme « ennuyée de la vie mais ayant peur de mourir. » C'est une personne chaleureuse et pleine de compassion qui fut déçue de la vie lorsqu'elle compris qu'elle ne pourrait jamais vaincre la mort. Toutefois elle s'efforce de masquer sa propre insécurité en tentant d'aborder un visage froid. Le Docteur lui fait regagner sa confiance perdue en la vie et une romance s'amorce entre elle et lui.

Apparition dans d'autres médias

Le personnage n'est jamais réapparu officiellement dans la série après le téléfilm. Toutefois dans Unnatural History, un roman tiré de la collection « The Eighth Doctor Adventures » et racontant des histoires de ce Docteur, le personnage réapparaît. On la voit réapparaître aussi dans un comic-book nommé The Fallen.

Le personnage devait apparaître dans des romans et des pièces audiophoniques tirées de la série, mais celui-ci appartenant à Universal (la société ayant produit le téléfilm) sa réutilisation est assez rare.
