DISC profiles consist of four key traits - dominance, influencing, steadiness and compliance. When it comes to selling, these traits have to be learned in order to communicate with people in ways they will best respond to. How do you learn to make the best of your own profile and how do you modulate your own style to better sell to someone with a different profile? On this episode we discuss this with speaker and coach Minesh Baxi.
Massive action comes from the right goals, and massive action requires you to step outside your comfort zone.
Two types of people react to big goals in two different ways - Some are energized by big goals, some are paralyzed by them.
Peer pressure is a great motivator because you want to be accepted by that peer group.
At the start of the show we discussed the transition sales people have to make to start running a business. According to Minesh, "they have to consider systems, while generating leads and prospecting and making sure the business is profitable." Next, we discussed the traits that Minesh has noticed in successful people in terms of their DISC profiles. Minesh says they are usually high D's and high I's, impatient, results driven, ambitious, direct and people oriented.
Additionally they like to talk and need a system and a team to get a job done because they can also be disorganized. Next, we discussed, how people can be more fulfilled and energized in their work. From his own perspective, Minesh said he finds fulfillment by, "making people feel special and coming from being a giver. If I can practice these principles all day I will be happier because i'm not looking for other people's gratification, or other people's opinions or fake standards I have set for myself." We also discussed different approaches to goal setting, what pushes people to succeed as well as the differences between introverts and extroverts.
To successfully sell to people using DISC profiles, the first step is being aware of your own traits and personality. With that information you can observe the person and determine how to modulate your traits to ease the communication. By taking that massive action and taking into account what a client responds to, you can create massive success.
Minesh is an author, speaker and business coach and founder of Stop Hiring Losers. Minesh Baxi does work he truly loves- inspiring people to take a fresh look at their own dreams, and to question the assumption that they cannot make them real. He is committed to encouraging people to believe in themselves, and stands as an energetic, enthusiastic & inspirational coach for individuals, businesses and organizations.
Value add is important if you want to be different from other agents. When it comes to the process of your leads, what are the ways to show loyalty, maintain top of mind and effectively follow up? On this episode of Real Estate Uncensored, we discuss this with Beverly Ruffner and learn how she built her business on internet leads alone.
If you give too much information on the phone you're giving them permission to go & talk to someone else.
Be calm, collected & client minded, not commission minded.
Find out where your leads are in process, plug them into the pipeline & follow up properly.
At the beginning of the episode, Beverly told us about her work and how she grew her business from internet leads alone. This led into a discussion about market shifts and the opportunities in relocation markets. Beverly said, "knowing your market helps conversion." Next, we discussed the lead process and details like the number of phone calls you need to build into the path to conversion. We talked about customer service and the importance of leading with value and being different.
An agent becomes front of mind when they work to benefit the life of the client. Ask yourself how to add value, that's how you bring in the leads. We went onto to talk about lead follow-up and how you can benefit from tracking where the client is in the lead process, so you can follow-up properly. We also talked about optimizing your website, "ask the customer what websites they go to look for homes online, if they don't say yours you're in trouble." Your website has to be branded well and it has to be sticky.
Towards the end of the show, Beverly gave us an example of a script for contacting an internet lead immediately. She reminded viewers and listeners not to give away all the value over the phone. "Put value on the meeting, if you give too much information on the phone you're giving them permission to talk to someone else." At the end of the show we also discussed how to handle lead follow-up 2 weeks, 3 weeks and a month in.
Good customer service is one level above crap and that can't be hard to beat. Making yourself top of mind comes down to you being client minded and not commission minded. Learn to use your phone calls to show the value that you can add, but don't give all of it away. Make sure the call leads to an actual meeting. Everybody does business out of convenience not loyalty. You can set the value and be different.

On this episode of Real Estate Uncensored we chat with Myrtle Beach top producer Jason Morris. Jason shares his expertise and gives us insight on scripts, schedule planning, routines and setting goals for 2017.
A 90-day plan is manageable but long enough to make change.
Once you use the same scripts for a long time, you'll know all the questions and answers and you'll know how to overcome the objections.
Every time you switch scripts you have to go through that learning curve all over again.
Next, we went onto discuss his business goals for next year. Jason plans to ramp up production and he's going to build a profitable team to help him achieve this. We asked him about the mental process he goes through to generate the leads that will double his output. He has benefitted from tracking numbers because they help him path the way forward.
He also told us about his schedule and the sales system he has in place. We went on to talk about call reluctance and Jason noted that a big problem is agents not sticking with a script long enough to get fully comfortable with its questions and objections, "it takes pig-headed discipline." Next we went into goal setting and discussed rituals, tying goals to emotional motivations, commitment and effective decision making.
Agents struggle with call reluctance because they often don't stick with a script long enough to become comfortable with every aspect of it. Prospecting gets easier when you grasp a script and all the objections that might be thrown at you. You'll go even further by setting manageable goals, tracking your numbers, setting up a good schedule and constantly holding yourself accountable.
The sell, sell, sell mentality is something a lot of professionals rely on, but is there anything you miss out on when you take that approach? On this episode, we lay out the differences between the sales mindset and the consulting mindset, and how the two can intersect in providing value and showing the best of your abilities.
A consultant builds value and when that person's needs align with your service, you become their natural choice.
Did you buy something because it was jammed down your throat, or because you saw real value in having it? That's the difference between sales and consulting.
There's going to come a time you'll have to pitch what you have to sell.
We went onto discuss the differences between the sales approach and the consulting approach. Being sales driven works but there has to be a limit. The sales mindset can stand in the way of providing value and building relationships that become more lucrative with time. "The side effect of the sales mentality is looking at everyone as either a potential client in the next 3 months or nothing." The mission should be to lead with value and not with the hard sell.
We also talked about the attraction to the hustle mentality and the assumption that consulting is a form of weakness. This led to us talking about finding the hustle that works for you and we touched on drip campaigns and ultimately being a professional who is willing to earn the right to close.
Consulting is not a sign of weakness, it is the dedication to educating your target market and selling yourself through value. You will still need to be a salesperson but your approach changes to pitching at the right point in that relationship. Don't start out trying to close, earn the right over time.
Cold calling and open houses are important methods for developing leads and prospecting but how do agents overcome the challenges of call reluctance and the extended process of converting leads? We talk to refinancing and mortgage expert Robert Ring and pick his brain about his selling process and finding clarity in business.
If you take on an open house that's been sitting on the market and is overpriced, you're making a mistake.
If you struggle with call reluctance ask yourself why you're making money. Your why has to be so strong it brings you to tears.
Everyone is looking for a shiny tactic when the real issue is clarity. What do you want, why do you want it and how will you go after it?
Next we talked about Greg's process and the different methods he and his team utilize to prospect and nurture leads. We also asked Richard about his best sources of business and how he aligns with agents looking for a good lender. He looks for real estate partners who are realistic, understand the market and know how to sell.
We went onto to discuss the current state of lead generation for agents and how the cycle of conversion has gotten longer. This has left a space for old school conversion tactics, but you have to be willing to stay in touch and convert leads overtime. Richard also gave an overview of his conversational selling process which is uses at open houses.
Our conversation then turned to call reluctance and how agents can overcome that. We talked about the importance of zeroing in on your big why; the thing that inspires you to get out of bed everyday. Whatever it is, it should pull you to overcome fears of rejection and doubt. We closed the chat discussing the need for clarity if you want to succeed. You should know what you want, why you want it and how you'll go after it. It's also important to get tactical about your clarity by delegating the tasks you hate.
The motivating factor behind all you do should be something so important and special it can bring you to tears, and rule over any doubt and reluctance you have. Your big WHY gives you more clarity than any shiny tactic you may have in your back pocket. It will drive you to spend time on tasks that have value and it will get you on that prospecting phone call!

Cold calling and prospecting rank highly on the list of activities that scare agents, is it something only limited to the more confident people in the industry? Fortunately, just about any agent can master it with the right tools and mindset. According to Greg it's simple to do once you get over your mental blocks and employ the tactics that have made him a master at cold calling.
Put yourself in the right mental mindset with power poses, it will physiologically change you to where you're able to exude positive energy.
It's painfully simple to do calls, it's only hard in your head.
The key pieces of information you need for cold calling are location, selling price, how much over price it is and days on market.
People get so afraid of the word no because they take it as a personal rejection.
We kicked off the episode with a question about using voicemails with the Mojo Dialer when you're circle prospecting. The most important thing is to make sure your messages are short, entertaining and educational. Next, we answered a question about the right response to a seller who says, "I'm not giving it away," as well as a question about friending your prospects on social media platforms.
We launched into a discussion about a recent post on Inman News, titled How to Design a Better Plan for Prospecting. We went onto to go into greater detail about call reluctance and how it gets in the way of prospecting success. What stops a lot of people is thinking there's a lot they need when they only really need 3 or 4 pieces of information - location, selling price and days on market.
We provided a few tactics that can help people overcome their fear, including power poses, using funny scripts and jokes to break the ice. The goal with all of these methods is exuding positive energy to people. We also covered the danger of fearing the word "no" and mapping when you're using the Mojo Dialer. Towards the close of the show we answered questions about a script for a seller with an agent loyalty issue, and we went onto discuss testimonials and gifts for clients.
The main reason people avoid cold calling is the fear of rejection. One of the most powerful things you can do is shift your mindset to where you don't take the word "no" as a personal rejection. Once you've dealt with your fear and worked on exuding positive energy, the rest of the process becomes simple.
Most agents are on LinkedIn but don't know how to use it to the benefit of their business. What are the biggest mistakes people make on LinkedIn, what's the most successful type of content to post and what groups should you be a part of? LinkedIn expert Italina Kirknis shares her expertise and teaches valuable lessons on leveraging the platform.
Post social content to LinkedIn only when it can be tied back into your work. Tweak it to make it more applicable to the platform.
As a business owner you want to have a broad network but you should do some screening.
Make sure you're putting what distinguishes you in your profile.
Don't get political, don't get religious, and don't rant, share positive things.
At the top of the show Italina told us about how she started her business during a career transition. She found that a lot of people have LinkedIn profiles but don't actually use them. What people should be aiming to do is have real conversations. "People want to know their realtor because they are doing an important job for them, so make sure they see something great when they go to your profile," said Italina.
When it comes to LinkedIn, what most people neglect is their profile. A common mistake is making the profile read like a resume, when you should actually aim to use it to build meat around your resume. People want to know what you're interested in, and what communities you're a part of. It's also important to voice yourself through published posts and the content you share. Give people a look into your work and how you spend your days.
We went onto ask Italina if it's a good idea to cross-pollinate the content you post on Facebook and other social sites on LinkedIn. Her rule is "make sure it always ties back to your work." This might require some content tweaking. Next she shared her insights on audience and whether one should aim to be connected to a large sphere of people. She says being social is part of an agents job so it's important to connect to a lot of people, but at the same time you can screen people who don't have profile pictures or people who are not in a country you would ever do business. The best way to screen without judging from afar is to send a message to the person who invited you before you accept.
If you want to grow your sphere and increase your referrals, optimizing your LinkedIn profile to make sure it sells you will make a huge impact. Plug into people's needs, make sure your content always ties back into your work and connect to as many people as possible. Remember that valuable connections matter.

Real Estate coach and speaker Travis Robertson says the secret to making $100,000 is your psychology and not your methodology, what do agents need to shift to make this level of success possible? What lessons can agents learn from top producers? On this episode, we discuss the Income Acceleration Formula and tactics that can get you to that top producer level.
The person who sets the price controls the range of the negotiation.
A top producing agent don't take no personally, they take yes personally.
Making a $100 000 is more about psychology than it is about methodology.
At the start of the show, we answered a question about the best script for a price reduction. Both Travis and Greg agreed that the key is to have that conversation at the beginning of the relationship so that the expectations are managed right from the start. We asked Travis what top producing agents do in their listing presentations to get an advantage and a competitive edge. "They create that conversation around working together. We're not working on different sides of the table, a great agent creates alignment." In most listing presentations, there's already an adversarial air. To shift this, use the presentation to build credibility, align your interests and show that you're on the same side, and working to help them reach their goals.
Next we discussed negotiation, how to deal with putting your charge on the table and breaking and resetting the price anchor. Travis says "the person who sets the price controls the range of the negotiation. He went onto answer a question about agents' obsession with making $100,000. He states that most people don't know what it takes to make that amount of money. It's a result of psychology and not methodology. It's also about being comfortable with working hard and not taking the word no personally.
Towards the end of the podcast, Travis shared what he thinks is the right way to build a business. He said that systems and lead generation are important but if you have to do one, it should be lead generation. Finally, we dive into Travis' Income Acceleration Formula which is convince, capture information and cultivate relationships.
Top producers have an understanding of aligning interests and expectations. They also know that success is about committing to hard work and the right psychology. The Income Acceleration formula gives you a taste of what it takes to reach that $100,000+ level. It's about convincing more people to engage with you, capturing information and cultivating relationships.

This particular date cake recipe is one of the oldest classics from a book, I have treasured all my life. Which always results in a moist and soft cake. I have always believed this recipe and baked this cake with my eyes shut many times. It is the best teatime teat. A slice of date bundt cake with hot tea or coffee is simply superb. I am a big fan of frost-free cakes, and this is one of my favourite bakes. There is another plus to this recipe. There is a very little amount of white sugar required for this cake.
When Pranav was opening the cake box kept on the table; I told him "As we haven't been going for dates of-late, I thought of baking a Date cake for you. Lol… He gave me a look, took out a slice and ate it up. This is what happens after 15 years of marriage.
The cake is called Date Bundt Cake- and obviously, there are dates used in the making of this cake. Another interesting ingredient used is an essence of Ossoro. It's an Arabian Date essence.Ossoro Arabian Date, 30 ml I am amazed how few drops of Arabian date essence made my cake special. Honestly, I have baked this cake many times before, but this was a little different. The Belgian date essence drops made it richer, in the feel and in the aroma. My house had a feel of a sophisticated bakery. Hope, you are aware of my work with Ossoro food fragrances. Here are a couple of more recipes, I have done with some interesting flavours they have.
I have a couple of do's and don'ts for this recipe, Just go through these points mentioned below before you start to bake.
1. Preheat the oven and if you are using a bundt cake pan similar to mine Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Heritage Bundt Pan, Silver place the oven rack on the bottom level. Because the bundt cake pan has height, it gets very close to the upper element of the oven. Which results in darken upper layer, sometimes burns the top of the cake.
2. It is very important that your butter and flour every nook and corner of the bundt cake pan, before pouring in the prepared cake batter.
3. The first step in the recipe written below is to add hot water, salt and soda bicarb to the chopped dates and let it sit for almost half an hours. Make sure the water is boiling hot and the dated are deseeded and chopped into small pieces.
4. You will also require a food processor INOX 1000-Watt Food Processor (Black/Silver) for this cake. In a food processor place the flour, sugar, baking powder, teaspoon salt and ground cinnamon. The process to combine and then add the cold butter, cut into pieces. Process until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs as shown in the image here.
If you don't have a processor, mix all the dry ingredient in a big bowl. And use a pastry cutter to mix in cold butter. Try getting to the texture shown in the image.
5. I have used walnuts and almonds in the recipes. Feel free to choose any dry fruit of your choice.
6. I have also added an egg in this recipe. You can substitute egg with flax seeds, or chia seeds.
7. One all the ingredients are combined and the cake batter is prepared. Pour it into the prepared cake pan. And tap the bundt pan on the kitchen counter few times, so the batter flows to the edges/design and there are no air pockets left at the base.
In a bowl mix the chopped dates with the baking soda and salt. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the dates, stir, and leave to cool to room temperature for about an hour.
Preheat your oven at 180* C. Butter, and flour the bundt cake pan covering all the nook and corners and keep aside.
In your food processor place the flour, sugar, baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and ground cinnamon. Then process to combine and then add the butter. Process until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Transfer the flour mixture to a large bowl and stir in the chopped nuts.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and it to the cooled dates (along with the water) to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Add Ossoro Arabian date essence to the prepared batter and mix well.
Place the batter into your prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. Bake about 55 to 65 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set, and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out just clean. Place on a wire rack to cool and then remove the bread from the pan. Enjoy the cake with your tea or coffee. This cake tastes more good the next day.

Utah Film Center Damn These Heels 2021: Innovations in narrative treatment shine in We're All Going to the World's Fair, Madalena
Outstanding innovations in thematic treatment are prevalent in numerous feature-length narratives in the Utah Film's Center's 18th annual Damn These Heels Queer Film Festival. Two of the most compelling examples are Jane Schoenbrun's We're All Going to the World's Fair, which premiered at this year's Sundance, and tthe Brazilian film Madalena, directed by Madiano Marcheti.
Both films are available for streaming on demand through July 18.
We're All Going to the World's Fair
The creepy, darkening vibes of Jane Schoenbrun's We're All Going to the World's Fair, a feature-length debut for the nonbinary filmmaker, are mesmerizing but never gratuitous. And, they amplify brilliantly the themes behind the story of Casey (played spectacularly by Anna Cobb), a female teen who explores and experiments with her identity through an online horror game with numerous players.
Indeed, the film likely will extract some of the most insightful reviews and observations from viewers of Casey's generation, especially those who are processing how to define the space of their multidimensional identities and deal with dysphoria, among other concerns. The ubiquitous presence of digital communication and a whole spectrum of channels to explore and experiment with, hopefully mitigating and avoiding the risks and fears of being preyed upon, harassed, ostracized, undermined, dismissed or diminished. Another element is imposter syndrome, which becomes critical to a development in.the film's story. To reveal more details would be unfair to those who have yet to view the film.
We're All Going to the World's Fair, directed by Jane Schoenbrun.
Schoenbrun leaves many instrumental and improvisational spaces throughout the film so that its viewers can navigate, choose and process their own narratives, regardless of how much its reflects, parallels, echoes or differentiates from the boundaries of the epiphanies that emerge in the film.
The film opens with Casey taking the World's Fair challenge, an approximately eight-minute sequence in which she prepares to record a video for YouTube, She follows the instructions: say "I want to go to the World's Fair" three times and prick a finger and then smear the blood on the computer screen followed by watching a video and then wait for the changes to occur. The viewer sees Casey throughout the film nearly exclusively through her online activity and interaction, all of which takes place in her dimly lit bedroom. It is an intriguing orientation for viewers to fill in the spaces, as they see appropriate or relevant to their own experiences. The story's timespan, too, is not defined specifically so again viewers can interpret on their own whether or not Casey is really changing and just how real or imagined a transformation might be happening.
Jane Schoenbrun.
Just as intriguing are the numerous examples of videos that become part of the film, which all but one were made for World's Fair. The exception was a YouTube video from the musical artist Slight Sounds ASMR. Other videos were made by the production team. A surprising appearance in one of the videos was documentarian Theo Anthony, whose Rat Film was featured last year in a Utah Film Center screening and whose latest documentary All Light, Everywhere won a Special Jury Prize in the U.S. Documentary competition at this year's Sundance.
One elucidating context for appreciating the film comes from a Le Cinéma Club post in which Schoenbrun mentions five film classics that guided her toward the technical aesthetics as well as character and thematic development she strived for in the making of World's Fair. The cosmopolitan eclectic list includes The Passion of Joan of Arc (Carl Theodor Dreyer, 1928), Pulse (Kiyoshi Kurosawa, 2001), All about Lily Chou-Chou (Shunji Iwai, 2001), Taste of Cherry (Abbas Kiarostami, 1997) and August in the Water (Gakuryû Ishii, 1995).
Brazilian films have been featured in previous Damn These Heels festival slates but the brilliant Madalena, directed by Madiano Marcheti, another director meaning his feature-length debut, stands out for notable reasons. Many Brazilian offerings for queer cinema have been shot in or near the country's largest urban centers or coastal regions. In this instance, where the film's closing credits invoke the plainspoken fact that "Brazil has the highest number of transsexual murders in the world," the story is set in the rural heart of Brazil's agricultural economy.
It is that agricultural setting which sets up the film's intersecting themes, which elevate the story behind the murder of a transgender woman from what would have been a predictable crime drama and investigation to an essential, enlightening rendering of how a single traumatic event reveals more about how various members of the community respond to and grieve the loss of Madalena.
Thus, Marcheti offers the viewers three character storylines whose lives ultimately converge on the significance of Madalena and the moment when her body was discovered in a massive green soybean field. The viewer learns practically nothing about the events of how Madalena was murdered. There is no sign of a police investigation, no interrogation of witnesses and no evidence that the case was or will ever be solved. The mystery of her murder frankly is irrelevant to what Marcheti seeks to achieve in this film. Such an omission perhaps says more about the weak, ineffectual circumstances of the legal institutions in Brazil, where the country's highest court has ordered that violent acts committed against gay and transgender citizens should be prosecuted as well as affirming the constitutionality of legislation seeking to assure basic rights for queer citizens. The response to progressive steps has been marked instead by an increase in violence, as the film's closing credits indicate.
Madalena, directed by Madiano Marcheti.
The three character storylines capture different dimensions of Madalena's life, each with expanded Impact on the film's epiphany. One surrounds Luziane, who is trying to find Madalena to settle an outstanding debt. The second character line is particularly telling in thematic heft about society's indifference and intolerance to providing dignity for its most marginalized and disenfranchised segments. Cristiano, who is part of the region's wealthiest agricultural enterprises and families, accidentally finds Madalena's body but instead decides to keep it secret, fearing that the news and presence of murder investigators will derail his mother's political campaign.
The final character line revolves around Bianca, also a transgender woman and Madalena's friend, and two friends who go to an isolated spot in the country for a picnic and swim. While the entire film is understated in effect and mood, this final scene stands out for its placid setting for solace and genuine friendship. It is a unique moment of redemption at least for those who are the only ones to grieve sincerely for the loss of Madalena. They instinctively comprehend the gravity of what affects their community far more than those who are like Luziane and Cristiano. At the moment, they are the only ones who have not been desensitized totally to the dynamics that make them so vulnerable to violence and oppression.

As more cities consider bans on smoking in public places, Kentucky, as one of the heavier tobacco-using states, will undoubtedly continue to debate the pros and cons of this issue with considerable fervor.
Smokers and non-smokers meet at many places like offices, buses, hotels, etc. This article is a kind of major Themes in The Scarlet Letter God, Sin and Guilt sample argumentative essay on the topic Smoking in Public Places Should be Banned. In many cities, carbon monoxide from car emissions is the far more prevalent and similarly toxic air pollutant, yet nobody has proposed a blanket ban on cars. The risk of getting cancer or something else from smoking, is about as high as crashing your car. If you don't like that they allow smoking there don't go or leave. The negative effects of second-hand smoke are scientifically documented and provide a valid reason for banning all public smoking. The person who smokes is active and other who are near to him and inhale the smoke are passive smokers. The headwaiter calls their name and they flick the cancer stick away its not their problem, right? While the goals of smoking ban advocates are well-intentioned, simply outlawing behavior has never been the most effective strategy for getting people to quit their stubborn addictions.


Customers leave every interaction with your company a little more, or a little less engaged. Are your employees engaged and aligned in a way that allows them to consistently drive customer engagement?
According to a retail study conducted by KPMG for the National Retail Federation, retailers nationwide are shifting their focus from cost containment to growth acceleration. Nowhere is competition fiercer than the retail sector where the only remaining sustainable competitive advantage is creating meaningful connections between employees and their customers on a consistent basis. This competitive advantage is not easily replicated, making an investment in employee and customer engagement a very wise use of company dollars.
Along with our data-driven interventions, our employee and customer engagement tools can be counted on to increase same store sales. Our consultants work with corporate staff and store management to increase store level outcomes. We recognize there are critical differences between an "engaged customer" and a satisfied one. Increasing each stores share of wallet happens through engaged customers that spend more, return more often and spread the word to their friends and family. These efforts also engage employees and result in a reduction in turnover, shrinkage and absenteeism all effecting productivity and profitability.
Evolve Performance Group offers a full range of services to assist in talent selection, employee development, employee engagement, and customer engagement to achieve impressive results. We focus on supporting corporate objectives to drive organic growth within the organization.

During a test flight last August, the Gamera II human-powered helicopter hovered for 65 seconds.
A Winner in the Wings?
Jan Fletcher
Two experimental flight teams are down to the wire in a race to win the American Helicopter Society's Sikorsky Prize. Established in 1980 in honor of helicopter pioneer Igor Sikorsky, the contest will reward the first person or team to build a human-powered helicopter. It must lift off and hover for at least one minute, achieve a height of three meters and remain within a 10-square meter space during flight.
Student teams from the University of Maryland and the University of Toronto are two prime contenders for the $250,000 prize, pledged by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Stratford, Conn. Both schools have created and tested helicopters made from carbon fiber.
A team of 40 graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Maryland's A. James Clark School of Engineering built and tested the Gamera I helicopter in 2010-2011. It was the third human-powered helicopter to ever fly and stayed airborne for more than four seconds, says William Staruk, project manager and a graduate student. The team designed a lighter and more efficient helicopter – the Gamera II – in June 2012.
The Gamera II relies on carbon fiber trusses for its main structural elements. "These structures are really effective at bending loads that we see on a helicopter," says Staruk. "Typical helicopter blades use a tubular spar, D-spar or box spar. But those tense up from local buckling. A truss-based design avoids that local buckling issue." The team also created a "truss-of-trusses" design so the most critically loaded members in the airframe were replaced with filament wound micro trusses, achieving significant weight savings.
The Gamera II has a rotor at each of the four ends of its X-shaped frame, with the pilot's module suspended in the middle. Each crossbar of the frame is 60 feet long, while each rotor is 42.6 feet in diameter. But the vehicle weighs only 82 pounds thanks to lightweight materials such as balsa, foam, Mylar and carbon fiber.
The pilot adds the greatest weight by far: Gamera II's test pilots weigh between 122 and 135 pounds. They power the helicopter through hand and foot pedaling, with chains, gears and lightweight string transmitting power to the rotors.
The helicopter has come tantalizingly close to meeting all of the Sikorsky Prize requirements. Last June, the Gamera II set an official U.S. record for a 49.9-second flight, verified by the National Aeronautic Association. On a subsequent flight in August, the helicopter hovered for 65 seconds, while staying within the 10 square-meter area. That flight is under review by the association. Gamera II also reached an altitude of 9.4 feet in yet another flight test. But combining all the requirements in one flight has proven elusive so far.

Last week I had the pleasure of sitting on a conference panel with one 'Abd al-Hadi Khalaf, whose analysis of Bahrain's strategy in handling the uprising I much enjoyed. I was also happy to find out that we shared several common opinions about the nature of the struggle going forward, primary among which is the novelty and importance of the Sunni mobilization in Bahrain over against the same old story of Shi'a-led opposition.
As I've mentioned previously, I'm currently in the process of finishing a theoretical introduction to an upcoming volume on sectarianism in the Gulf being organized by Georgetown University's Center for International and Regional Studies. As such, I don't have time to write an entire lengthy post on this now, but it bears mentioning (especially in light of my discussions with 'Abd al-Hadi) the main political news out of Bahrain these days: that it is now the Sunnis (at least those in the National Unity Gathering) who are threatening boycott of the still-rumored upcoming second round of dialogue, ostensibly because the physical conflict is still ongoing--that is, because al-Wifaq and "its followers" in the street continue to fight for "regime change."
This scenario is upside down and unfamiliar to us to some extent because local political affairs observers are used to seeing the radical opposition abstain from accepting continuous initiatives in order to stick to its demands and to preserve its interests. They are not used to seeing other non-radical political societies having reserves against such initiatives although these initiatives serve their interests.
A billboard in Muharraq depicts one "going to the dialogue."
In support of the boycott, the Al-Fatih Awakening used its Friday rally to counter those organized by opposition groups to demand a restart of talks. Importantly, however, their primary argument against the initiative is that it includes only the opposition groups--i.e., that they, Sunnis, are excluded from it. (On this point, see this previous post.) In other words, it's not that Bahraini Sunnis wish to prevent a political solution out of some hatred of Shi'a or fear of Iran, but that they simply don't want to be stuck watching the process unfold from the outside looking in. Thus the rally poster below: "No dialogue without Al-Fatih."
On the other hand, this decision to boycott has met with condemnation from other Sunnis--see Faysal al-Shaykh in Al-Watan--who, having witnessed the decisive impact of the National Unity Gathering in February and March, now fear the return of Sunnis to the political margins to the benefit (in their view) of precisely those who are responsible for the chaos of the previous year. A boycott, in the words of al-Shaykh, "would mean that the hundreds of thousands who stand behind the Rally won't make their voices heard at the dialogue table."
In short, a government-opposition dialogue represents an attempt to return to the status quo ante, one that increasingly looks undesirable to ordinary Sunnis. A Sunni boycott--like that in post-2003 Iraq, or like al-Wifaq's pre-2005 boycott--will only ensure that they remain on the political sidelines, and gain disproportionately little from any eventual agreement. As al-Shaykh says, despite the dangers of accepting dialogue with a "radical" opposition, "leaving the field vacant can also prove disastrous."
"Our decision earlier to boycott dialogue with the government is not final," he revealed.
"We could consider our stance depending on the situation.
"I would like to state here that the government should not engage in any dialogue under pressure [i.e., from al-Wifaq or from the U.S. (on the latter, see here)]."
The state, of course, or at least the king's faction, is I'm sure happy to hear of this boycott, which leaves it free to (attempt to) cut a deal with the opposition without fundamentally altering its position vis-a-vis the rest of society. Yet even if the National Unity Gathering or other Sunni groups did participate, under no circumstances will the government entertain three-way talks ('Abd al-Hadi mentioned that the last time that the ruling family, leading Sunnis, and leading Shi'is all sat at a negotiating table was in the 1960s), since even the outside chance that the leaders of al-Wifaq and the National Unity Gathering could agree on a (n albeit limited) set of political demands is enough to put the fear of God in the Al Khalifa.
For Sunnis who desire genuine political reforms such as an end to corruption and political naturalization, the dialogue is an opportunity to push these issues (since they will find easy agreement with Shi'a), but the danger of appearing to be in collusion with the Shi'a opposition--and efforts by some in the state to promote this notion--is a real one.
For Sunnis who desire political reform in the opposition direction--i.e., a further-empowered prime minister--participation in the dialogue reinforces Bahrain's post-1999 political modus operandi of piecemeal political deals between the opposition and king following periods of instability and protest. But, absent some mass Sunni mobilization against the dialogue, a boycott would do nothing to help this situation, as the state could simply go ahead without Sunni involvement.
For the king's faction, another dialogue with the opposition represents continuation down the same familiar political path. Sunni boycott would be a welcome development (so long as it is not accompanied by mass protests against the dialogue that preclude it altogether); and if they do participate their negotiations will almost certainly be held in parallel with those of al-Wifaq rather than together.
For the immoderate Al Khalifa led by the prime minister, a second dialogue must be seen as a step in the wrong direction to the extent that it offers a chance an end to the political crisis that has aided in its empowerment over the previous year. Mobilizing Bahrainis against it--by suggesting, for example, that it is born of U.S. pressure--would seem to be the preferred course of action.
Update: A very interesting piece of news: National Unity Gathering Vice President, Muhammad al-Uthman, has left Bahrain seeking "political asylum" in Britain. It seems some Bahraini Sunnis at least are anticipating a clampdown on their newfound political activism. Perhaps the regime did not appreciate their effort to boycott its dialogue.

The French-speaking people, and in particular Quebecois, have a reputation for inventing French words when globally there are English words that are already, or are becoming, popular. But this obviously is not as successful as some would hope going by a recent list of popular English words that are popular in .fr domain name registrations.
As the post notes, they are all short and some of the words – namely "club", "design", "coach", "test" and "stars" - are terms that the French have adopted to the point where they no longer try to use their equivalents in French.
Among other words that have become popular, "blog" has become a global term while the blog post notes that "king" is obviously used in order to promote an activity, while the last three, "land", "home" and "space" refer to spaces that are more or less private.
The list also is reflective of developments in the French language. Sometimes the foreign words have been on a path of evolution for centuries. For example the word "coach" comes from the French word "coche" – a four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage, which came from the German "Kutsche" and Hungarian "kocsi".

Whale Watch Tenerife is pleased to announce our latest collaboration in cetacean conservation with the whale research organisation HappyWhale. This latest collaboration is another step in our goals to offer sustainable whale watching tours that support cetacean research and conservation in Tenerife and internationally. We feel it is very important to collaborate with international organisations that collect data on the whales throughout their migration range. Cetacean conservation is only effective when applied to the whole migrational range of any whale or dolphin species.
So, what does HappyWhale do?
HappyWhale provides a platform (website) where organisations and whale watchers can upload pictures of individual cetaceans. The result for the participants is very interesting. Once an image of a whale has been uploaded to HappyWhale it is included in the database and participants can see where and when the same whale has been spotted in the past. Additionally, future observations of this same whale are shared with participants. In this way, participants can get a more accurate idea of the whales migration.
Whale Watch Tenerife will be uploading images taken on our tours to the HappyWhale database with the hope that we can help in the research and conservation of whales and dolphins. We applaud HappyWhale in its efforts to bring whale watching enthusiasts together for the benefit and long-term monitoring of whales.

War Begins in Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising – Exclusive Excerpt
Get a first look at the origins of the future Grand Admiral.
StarWars.com Team
Every saga has a beginning. Especially Grand Admiral Thrawn's.
The Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy, written by Timothy Zahn and kicking off with Chaos Rising, will go back to the early days of the Imperial strategic mastermind within the Chiss Ascendancy. In this exclusive excerpt from Chaos Rising, an unknown enemy launches a sneek attack on Csilla, the homeworld of the Chiss…
Look for Chaos Rising to arrive in our galaxy in hardcover and audiobook formats on September 1; in addition to the excerpt, enjoy a clip from the audiobook edition and a first look at a new poster included with the exclusive Barnes & Noble edition below.
The attack on the Chiss Ascendancy homeworld of Csilla was sudden, unexpected, and—despite its limited scope—impressively efficient.
The three large warships came out of hyperspace on widely spaced vectors, driving inward toward the planet with spectrum lasers blazing at full power toward the defense platforms and the orbiting Chiss Defense Force warships. The platforms and ships, caught by surprise, nevertheless took less than a minute to begin returning fire. By then the attackers had altered their directions, angling in toward the cluster of lights spread across the icy planetary surface that marked the capital city of Csaplar. Their lasers continued to fire, and as they came within range they added salvos of missiles to their attack.
But ultimately it was all for nothing. The defense platforms easily picked off the incoming missiles while the warships targeted the attacking ships themselves, blasting them into rubble and making sure that any fragments entering the atmosphere were too small to survive the journey. Within fifteen minutes of the attack force's arrival, it was over.
The threat had ended, Supreme General Ba'kif thought grimly as he strode down the central corridor toward the Cupola where the syndics and other Aristocra were assembling after making their way back from the shelters.
Now came the real sound and fury.
And there would be plenty of both. As the supreme ruling body of the Ascendancy, the Syndicure liked to project an image of thoughtfulness, nobility, and unflappable dignity. Most of the time, aside from the inevitable political wrangling, that was close enough to the truth.
But not today. The Syndicure had been in full session, and the Speakers had had their own private meeting scheduled for later in the afternoon, which meant nearly all of the Ascendancy's top-level Aristocra had been in the offices, corridors, and meeting rooms when the alarm sounded. The shelters deep beneath the Cupola were reasonably roomy and marginally comfortable, but it had been decades since the last direct attack on Csilla and Ba'kif doubted any of the current government officials had ever even been down there.
Two hours of forced idleness while the Defense Force waited to see if there would be a follow-up attack hadn't gone over well with them, and Ba'kif had no illusions that the coming storm would be thoughtful, noble, or unflappable.
He was right.
"What I want to know," the Speaker for the Ufsa family spoke up after Ba'kif had finished his report, "is who the aliens are who dared think they could get away with an attack against us. A name, General—we want a name."
"I'm afraid I can't give you one, Speaker," Ba'kif said.
"Why not?" the Speaker demanded. "You have debris, don't you? You have data records and bodies and weapons profiles. Surely a name can be gleaned from all that."
"The Ascendancy has been attacked," the Speaker for the Mitth family cut in gravely, as if the others might somehow have missed that fact. "We need to know who to punish for such arrogance."
"Yes," the Usfa said, throwing a brief glare down the table.
Ba'kif suppressed a sigh. In times gone by, major threats to the Ascendancy had usually drawn the Ruling Families into a unity that superseded the usual political maneuvering. He'd held a small hope that today's attack might spark such a response.
Clearly, that wasn't going to happen. In the case of the Usfa and Mitth, in particular, those families were in the midst of a particularly tangled campaign with a newly opened mining field on Thearterra as the prize, and the Usfa was clearly annoyed at having had some of his spotlight stolen by his family's current chief rival. "More than that," he added, his glare daring the Mitth to interrupt again, "we need assurance that the Defense Force has the resources to defend the Chiss against further action by these unidentified enemies."
The questis data-link reader lying on the table in front of Ba'kif lit up as a fresh report came in. He picked it up, propping it at an angle on his left palm while he slid his finger along the edge to scroll the screen. "The Syndicure need not be concerned about their safety," he said. "I've just received word that four additional warships from the Expansionary Fleet have been rushed in from Naporar and are moving to support the Defense Force ships already in place."
He winced to himself. Young men and women, ready to give their lives to protect their homeworld. Noble and honorable . . . and a sacrifice, if it was ever required, that he and everyone else currently in the Cupola knew would be a complete and utter waste.
Fortunately, it didn't look like any such sacrifice would be needed today.
"And if they attack other worlds within the Ascendancy?" the Usfa pressed.
"Other ships have already been sent to bolster the patrol forces of the neighboring systems in case they're the targets of subsequent attacks," Ba'kif said.
"Has anyone else reported attacks or enemy sightings?" the Speaker for the Clarr asked.
"Not as yet, Speaker," Ba'kif told him. "As far as we can tell, this was an isolated incident."
The Speaker for the Obbic family gave a theatrical little snort. "I seriously doubt that, General," she said. "No one sends warships against the Ascendancy on a lark and then goes home. Someone out there is plotting against us. That someone needs to be found and taught a serious lesson."
It went on that way for another hour, with each of the Nine Ruling Families—and many of the Great Families who had aspirations of joining that elite group—making sure to get their outrage and determination on record.
It was, for the most part, a waste of Ba'kif 's time. Fortunately, extensive experience in the military had taught him how to listen to politicians with half his mind while focusing the other half on more urgent matters.
The Speakers and syndics wanted to know who had attacked the Ascendancy. They were looking in the wrong direction.
The more interesting question was not who, but why.
Because the Obbic had been right. No one attacked Csilla for the fun of it. That went double for an attack that cost three major warships without providing any obvious gain. Either the attacker had misjudged badly, or else he'd achieved a more subtle goal.
What could such a goal look like?
The majority of the Syndicure clearly assumed the attack had been a prelude to a more sustained campaign, and once they finished their posturing they would undoubtedly start urging the Defense Force to pull its ships inward for the protection of the major systems. More than that, they would probably insist the Expansionary Defense Fleet likewise withdraw from the borders to augment them.
Was that the goal? To keep the Chiss looking inward and not outward? In which case, bowing to the Syndicure's demand for security would play directly into the enemy's plans. On the other hand, if the syndics were right about this being the start of a full-fledged campaign, leaving the Expansionary Fleet out in the Chaos could be an equally fatal move. Either way, if they guessed wrong, it would be too late to correct the error by the time they knew the truth.
But as Ba'kif weighed the possibilities, it occurred to him that there was one other possibility. Perhaps the attack wasn't meant to draw the Ascendancy's attention from something that was about to happen, but to distract it from something that had already happened.
And that possibility, at least, he could look into right now. Surreptitiously, he keyed a search order into his questis.
Midway through the Cupola session, as he continued to make his soothing noises to the Aristocra, he had the answer.
One of Ba'kif 's aides was waiting when the general finally made it back to his office. "Were you able to locate him?" Ba'kif asked.
"Yes, sir," the aide said. "He's on Naporar undergoing his final round of physical therapy for the injuries sustained during the Vagaari pirate operations."
Ba'kif scowled. Operations that, while successful in a military sense, had been a complete disaster on the political front. Months later, many of the Aristocra were still brooding over that whole mess. "When will he be free?"
"Whenever you wish, sir," the aide said. "He said he would be at your disposal whenever you wanted him."
"Good," Ba'kif said, checking the time. Half an hour to bring the Whirlwind to flight status, four hours to get to Naporar, another half hour to get a shuttle down to the Chiss Expansionary Fleet medcenter. "Inform him that I want him ready in five hours."
"Yes, sir." The aide hesitated. "Do you want the order logged, or does this qualify as a private trip?"
"Log it," Ba'kif said. The Aristocra might be unhappy when they found out about this—the Syndicure might even assemble a tribunal somewhere down the line to waste more of his time with useless questions—but Ba'kif was going to do things strictly by the book. "Order from Supreme General Ba'kif," he continued, hearing his voice drop into the tone he always used for formal orders and reports.
"Preparing transport for myself and Senior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo. Destination: Dioya. Purpose: investigation of a derelict ship found two days ago in the outer system."
"Yes, sir," the aide said briskly. His voice was studiously neutral, giving away nothing of his own personal feelings on the matter. Not all those who thought poorly of Captain Thrawn, after all, were members of the Aristocra.
At the moment, Ba'kif didn't care about any of them. He'd found the first half of the why.
Now there was only one person he trusted to come up with the other half.

Just a few blocks from the Danube, the Kempinski Hotel Cornivus offers easy access to the sights, shops, restaurants and bars that make this city so exciting. In true Old World style, the serene lobby is filled with live music most afternoons, and a lobby lounge offers a High Tea of delicate sweets and tea or coffee served in fine china. Sip a glass of Hungary's famously sweet Tokaji with your cake or sample the creative cocktail menu at Blue Fox The Bar. On-site Nobu restaurant attracts locals, expat foodies and even the odd A-list celeb.
As you'd expect, the rooms offer nothing but comfort, with thick mattresses and patterned duvets. The furnishings are tasteful in a neo–Art Deco style, and the bathrooms are decked out in marble. The rooms with the best views are those that overlook Erzsebet Park, a well-kept green space that's popular with the city's skaters. Kempinski's Room Comfort Menu comes standard and offers a choice of pillows, customized bath amenities and kid-friendly extras like baby bathrobes.
Dine on contemporary Hungarian-Viennese dishes at ÉS Bisztró, a brasserie-style spot with an alfresco summer terrace, or snag a table at Central Europe's first Nobu outpost, a welcome addition to this seafood-starved country. Kempinski The Spa is based on Europe's four seasons and has steam baths, saunas, a Kneipp bench, a well-equipped fitness room, an ice fountain and a café in case you need refueling. But don't linger too long — Budapest's packed program of cultural activities and its famously fun nightlife await just outside.
Across the street, in Erzsebet Park, the Aquarium Klub pulls a young and trendy evening crowd, while Vigadó holds concerts and dance performances (try to catch a Roma or Hungarian folk one if possible) late into the night. By day, take to Budapest's thermal waters at one of the several bathhouses. The Széchenyi, located in City Park, is a favorite. The city's many markets are also worth a peruse; try Central Market to see the bounty of fresh produce and meat or the Design Market for bespoke garments produced by local designers. For cityscape views, the Budapest Eye – a giant ferris wheel which offers panoramas across the city – is located opposite the hotel.
The Kempinski Budapest hotel offers modern luxury a short walk away from the Danube River and many of the city's attractions. The Premium Superior Room we stayed at was very comfortable with modern elegance. Service was excellent, we especially appreciated the service provided by the Lady in Red team, initially via email and personally during our stay. Breakfast was outstanding with great choices.
I choose to stay in Kempinski Cornivus for 1 reason ...the location,location,location.
Rooms : on the small side but well insulated for noise ,though if you are sensitive to noise trust my tip and ask a quiet room that overlooks a small inside patio.
Outdated weight scale in the bathroom.
Good quality of amenities in the bathroom.
The minute you go outside of the hotel you are in the shopping district and just 3 min from Danube.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the chef in the breakfast with gloves...making sure that all the bowls are full,clean and ready.
I promise to came back in the hotel with a full and extended review ...that will include as well the spa!(which I missed this time)and my beloved NOBU restaurant which is inside the hotel.
Our stay at the Kempinski hotel Budapest was a very nice one, we arrived very early in the day and were provided with an upgraded room at 11.30 am and smile from the receptionist. The room was very orderly and clean with all the comforts in modern day hotels. The staff are very friendly and the location perfect, the concierge is very helpful as well with a mini map that helps you get around to all the hotspots that are walking distance from the hotel.. extremely recommended stay.
I spent lots of days and nights in this place since our office is nearby, but this not only reason for staying and always choosing this place. I was also privately there many times and brought the friends also. Wery clean, nice and comfortable rooms. Only, breakfast was much better and nicer before.. Hopefully will improve..
Best asset of the Hotel is its staff: professional, dedicated, friendly, effective, on all levels. Than is location, very close to Donau, hundreds of coffee shops and restaurants and most tourist attractions. As five-star Hotel it has all you need. Rooms are large, with a lot of light, well appointed and clean. On small but useful gadgets – I like power cubes next to bed – with several sockets to plug in your all electronics. Free Wi-Fi is also OK, works very well across all places.
There are negative issues, however. On small streets surrounding Hotel the traffic is low but external rooms are quite noisy when windows are open (I was told the rooms facing inner yard are quieter). You can close window and rely on A/C, in my room it kept 23 C and I could not negotiate the system to turn it lower. At midnight I decided that I'd rather like the noise and lower temperature, I opened both windows what would supposedly turn A/C off, but it was not the case. After 6 hours I managed to get temperature down to 22,8 C. I read many enthusiastic opinions on breakfast, but I think the quality is just the minimum what you should expect from five-star place. I am not talking about local food flavors, but it is difficult to spoil scrambled eggs and serve it cold and plastic taste. I had also lunch there and I got sick after, so I guess there is some problem with Hotel's gastronomy.
Conclusion: it is great hotel, but one has to be prepared for little, annoying surprises.


Here is another comic which I originally published on DiagnosticImaging.com back in January, 2012. It must have been a really slow news month for CNN reporters, because they chose to do an "exclusive" on how doctors "cheat" to prepare for board exams through the practice of using "recalls."
First they targeted radiologists and then dermatologists. Both stories gained little traction in the media as most lay people do not consider either specialty to be doctors.

Bandits win second straight Cowles Cup; Cervantes named MVP
Created: 24 August 2016
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Back-to-back home runs and a gritty pitching performance from Angel Bunner lifted the Chicago Bandits to a 2-1 victory over the USSSA Pride in the finale of NPF Championship Series, Tuesday night in front of 457 at Rhoads Stadium. The victory completed a two-game comeback by the Bandits (27-27), who hoisted the Cowles Cup for the second straight season and fourth time overall.
BOX SCORE | PLAY BY PLAY
Consecutive solo shots in the third inning by catcher Taylor Edwards and outfielder Brittany Cervantes were all the runs Bunner (3-3) needed. The journeyman southpaw, who had played for three previous teams and sat out all of 2015 and a good portion of this season (signed July 1), scattered eight hits over six innings of work with one strikeout and one walk.
"I'm not going to lie: I'm never nervous and today I got here and I was nervous," Bunner said. "It's a dream. Of course I imagined it, but living it is a different thing."
Cervantes, who is featured in this year's NFCA Top Recruit, was named Most Valuable Player of the championship series after batting over .500 in the playoffs with three homers and six RBI. She recorded a hit in all six games of the playoffs.
The comeback by Chicago came just days after defeating former teammate and 2016 Pitcher of the Year Monica Abbott and the Scrap Yard Dawgs in a best-of-three semifinal series.
The only damage against Bunner was league Player of the Year Kelly Kretschman's solo long ball in the fifth to make it a one-run game. However, she would regroup and held the 40-win Pride off the board.
"We just trusted her (Bunner) to keep us in the game," said Steuerwald. "Signing (Bunner) was a big key to turning our season around. We needed to do something. At the point we were at in the season, we had to take a shot and see what she could do."
Hobbled throughout the postseason by a calf injury that required a brace on her right leg, Kretschman went 2-for-3 and cracked a solo home run to right field in the bottom of the fifth inning to put the Pride on the board and cut the Chicago lead to 2-1.
"At this point, I told (coach Lonni Alameda) I'll rip it in half if I have to," Kretschman said.
Bunner regrouped and finished strong through six innings and then handed the ball over to rookie Shelby Turnier. Turnier, perhaps the most unheralded postseason performer for the Bandits, shut the door in the seventh with a 1-2-3 frame, including retiring former Bandit Megan Wiggins on a pop out to end the game. She finished the postseason not allowing a single run in nine innings of work while allowing just five hits with 10 strikeouts.
"(Turnier's) got ice water in her veins for a rookie," Steuerwald said. "She was just phenomenal. She doesn't show a lot of emotion out there. I think that's what makes her really successful."
The game ended with Kretschman on deck.
"I always want to be in that spot," said the NPF's first-ever Triple Crown hitter.
Chicago's Jill Barrett, who went 2-for-3 in game three and finished with a .318 clip for the championship series, harkened back to the Bandits being a unit.
"Here in Chicago, it's one through 23," Barrett, who was acquired over the offseason from the Akron Racers in a trade, said. "(Emily) Allard makes it 24 of us."
Keilani Ricketts (8-6) suffered the loss as she gave up the two runs on five hits in 4 1/2 innings. Jordan Taylor kept the Bandits at bay the rest of the contest. She tossed 2 2/3 innings of no-hit ball relief for the Pride.
Note: A total of event attendance of 7,408 is a new league record.

Two people are dead and 17 people were injured after a commuter bus broadsided another in New Jersey's largest city.
Officials say a second person has died in a collision involving two commuter buses in New Jersey that left 17 others injured.
A spokeswoman for the Essex County prosecutor's office says the second victim of Friday's accident in Newark was a female passenger.
The crash occurred around 6 a.m. Friday in Newark when a New Jersey Transit bus with only the driver aboard was heading west on Raymond Boulevard and slammed into a 13 Line bus, which was heading north on Broad Street. There were about 20 people on the 13 bus.
The driver of the 59 Line was killed and 19 people were injured. The driver's name has not been released.
Authorities are trying to determine whether one of the buses ran a red light. The intersection where the crash occurred was the first in the state to have a surveillance camera to catch drivers running red lights. The surveillance program was discontinued in 2014.
A news conference is scheduled for 3 p.m.
Starbucks employees opening up a store about 100 yards from the crash site at about 6 a.m. Friday and say they heard what sounded like an explosion and ran out to offer help bringing ice water, rags and a first-aid kit. They were the first people on the scene.

American Airmen In Britain During The Second World War
Over two million American servicemen passed through Britain during the Second World War. In 1944, at the height of activity, up to half a million were based there with the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). Their job was to man and maintain the vast fleets of aircraft needed to attack German cities and industry.

Q: Creating a single driver to traverse multiple sites using proxies I've written a script in python in combination with selenium making use of proxies to parse the title of different sites. My script can do it if I stick to create individual driver instance for every site. However, my goal here is to make use of the same browser (using different proxies) no matter how many sites it traverses.
How can I use the same browser with different proxies to traverse multiple sites to parse the title of them?
My attempt so far with:
import random
from itertools import cycle
from selenium import webdriver

proxyList = ['103.110.37.244:36022', '180.254.218.229:8080', '110.74.197.207:50632', '1.20.101.95:49001', '200.10.193.90:8080', '173.164.26.117:3128', '103.228.118.66:43002', '178.128.231.201:3128', '1.2.169.54:55312', '181.52.85.249:31487', '97.64.135.4:8080', '190.96.214.123:53251', '52.144.107.142:31923', '45.5.224.145:52035', '89.218.22.178:8080', '192.241.143.186:80', '113.53.29.218:38310', '36.78.131.182:39243']

def get_title(url):
    random.shuffle(proxyList)
    proxy = next(cycle(proxyList))
    print(f'proxy in use {proxy}')
    chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
    chrome_options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server={proxy}')
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)
    try:
        driver.get(url)
        print(driver.title)
    except Exception:
        if proxy in proxyList:
            proxyList.remove(proxy)
        return get_title(url)

    links = ['http://www.google.com/','https://stackoverflow.com/','https://www.yahoo.com/']
    for link in links:
        get_title(link)

A: Create the driver once and pass it to the function instead of creating it in the function.
This also means that the same proxy is used all the time...
As the proxy is passed as an argument before the chromedriver is started it can't be changed without creating a new driver.
