Academic Research Grants in Progress
ExtendSim popularity in higher institutions has experienced phenomenal growth as researchers have learned of ExtendSim's ease of use combined with its high level of accuracy. ExtendSim has become an indispensable component supporting essential phases of innovative research projects in universities worldwide.
In response to the growing popularity of using ExtendSim in research projects, we established the ExtendSim Academic Research Grant program. Under the Grant, Imagine That Inc. supports students who are obtaining an advanced degree (Masters Thesis, PhD, or PostDoc) by subsidizing the cost of a full Model Developer Edition of ExtendSim for use by the student during the term of their research project. In exchange, the student provides a description of the research and quarterly updates throughout the term of the project. At the end of the research, all findings (ie. paper, project, etc.) and the ExtendSim model formulated are passed on to Imagine That Inc. for publication on the ExtendSim web site.

Digital Twin • Critical Services Provider
Model-Based Systems Engineering
Xueping Li plus a team of Grad Students in the Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering
Grant awarded: May 10, 2022
To be completed: December 31, 2022
Hypothesis.
We propose the concept of using simulation as a soft digital twin to address complex decision-making processes in the age of digital transformation. The central hypothesis is that a well-developed simulation model is able to provide insights into critical business processes, conduct scenario analysis, and ultimately optimize the overall system performance.
Project description.
We adopt a multi-phased research plan for an undisclosed organization that provides critical systems.
Phase 1: Identify one area of interest (e.g., the maintenance organization) for detailed systems analysis. Identify model elements such as: variables, stocks, flows, and inter-relationships. Develop conceptual model structures. Establish functional requirements (e.g., real-time data acquisition, intelligent adaptation (machine learning), what-if scenarios, optimization capability, etc.) Define and establish the data sources, systems process mapping (including initial causal loop diagrams). Identify optimal modeling approaches (in consideration of multi-method modeling). Develop final causal flow diagrams, interfaces, and modeling elements for other appropriate methods.
Phase 2: Develop prototype model(s) for designated systems. Efforts include defining desired functionality, design and operational requirements, operating parameters, data resource needs, visualization, user interface, portability and access, system boundaries, and programing dictionaries (data, variables, parameters, links, interfaces, machine intelligence functionality etc.). Initial models will be constructed for proof-of-concept demonstration and preliminary V&V.
Phase 3: Complete design of the systems model, finalize verification and validation, complete UI and data visualization, complete documentation, and validate systems interface operability.
Questions this research will answer.
RQ1: Will the soft digital twin, i.e., the simulation model, be able to produce results (e.g., throughput, overall job cycle time, resource utilization, etc.) that is comparable to historical system performance through a data-driven approach?
RQ2: Will the soft digital twin help conduct what-if analysis with high confidence?
RQ3: Will the soft digital twin help with system optimization under given certain operational constraints?
How research strategy will be designed to help answer these questions.
Please refer to the aforementioned multi-phase research plan.
How ExtendSim will be used in this project.
We plan to use ExtendSim to build the simulation model for the identified system (i.e., the maintenance system).
The undisclosed organization that we work with provides critical services that demand high availability and any downtime will lead to exorbitant high costs.
Why the interest in the indicated subject?
Modeling and simulation have been one of my major research areas. The potential use of simulation as a digital twin is of particular interest to me.
We will have graduate research students working on the project. We intend to publish our research findings that will be disseminated widely.
I have published 140+ peer-review journal and conference papers. Below are a few recent publications.

Healthcare • Policy Setting for Operating Room Management
Surgery cancellation: causes, hospital-related strategies
Mona Koushan
Otago University
Grant awarded: June 5, 2019
To be completed: May 31, 2021 & January 2022
Updated completion date: December 2022
ExtendSim will be used to set a policy for OR management that balances the rate of surgery cancellation with hospital utilization taking into account the relationship and inter-relationship of different circumstances (e.g., scheduling policies, case mix, and hospital size) that affect policies.
Which policy will be suitable for the hospital according to the circumstances?
How does a manager set a policy that balances the rate of surgery cancellation and hospital utilization accounting for the circumstances they face?
To answer these questions, a discrete-event simulation will be used to investigate these relationships so Ms. Kaushan can develop a model/framework that will help the hospital manager to determine the most applicable policy considering the hospital's circumstances.
In general, studies consider a single policy to manage operation room capacity (and treat the policy as 'fixed' or 'given'), but there are few articles that compare these policies and find which one can be more efficient (Y. B. Ferrand et al., 2014; Van Riet & Demeulemeester, 2015). While Duma & Aringhieri (2019) used each policy, they didn't consider how hospital circumstances and various factors (outlined by Van Riet and Demeulemeester (2015), such as:
the available number of ORs
the available beds in downstream (ICU & PICU)
operation duration characteristics
scheduling policy
patient volume
case mix
...can affect the managers' decision for setting an appropriate policy.
Increasing demand for healthcare service with limited resources has led to hospitals paying more attention to the use of resources. Given that the hospitals are naturally faced with different kinds of variability and uncertainty (such as surgery duration, length of stay (LOS), recovery duration and emergency arrivals), the fully planned of resources without any time buffers will require some level of surgery cancellations that will affect patient satisfaction. There are various factors that cause surgical cancellations. So, it become a main issue for the hospital manager to set a policy that balances the rate of surgery cancellation and hospital resource utilization, accounting for the hospital's circumstances.
Today's increasing demand for surgery and limited hospital resources has led to more surgery cancellations and resource under-utilization. Thus, solving this problem helps to even the patient flow while reducing the surgery cancellation (hospital-related causes) and managing the OR's buffers with resource utilization according to the inherent uncertainty.

September 6, 2022 - I was granted my Ph.D. degree and the thesis is embargoed in the University library for further publication. After a discussion with my supervisor, I decided to add more analysis to make the paper ready for publishing in a leading journal.
The model is ready, only further analysis is required which might take up to the end of the year.
Small-sized hospital hybrid policyJanuary 24, 2021 - I am working on extracting articles from my thesis that require further analysis. I have submitted my PhD thesis at the end of December 2021, which the estimated time for oral examination would be in April 2022. After the oral examination, I need to apply examiners' comments on my thesis. ExtendSim models are designed, but further analysis is required to present the output of the model. View screenshots of in-progress models here.
Extended Grant to September 2022 for Mona to improve the research.
September 21, 2021 - The models are designed for three policies separately and the experiments are designed. Now it is the time to run the model with different policies and scenarios. There are 90 different statuses that must be examined with these models. View screenshots of in-progress models here.
Extended Grant to January 2022 due to COVID related delays in data collection.
May 3, 2021 - Since this project is directly related to health bodies, my projects has delayed in data collection stage due to COVID-19, which has affected simulation study. Please extend the Grant through September 2021.
In this stage I am preparing input data for simulation model which are extracted from conducted surgery scheduling model with MATLAB. The ExtendSim model is almost designed and it is examined in the small-size of hospital. The model is going to be run with different scenarios and different size of hospitals. In this case some part of model might be changed.
July 27, 2020 - I am modeling my simulation model to check with a usual surgery scheduling how different policies can help hospitals to improve performance (less surgery cancellation and more resource utilization). I intend to check the model and different policies with comprehensive surgery scheduling modeling too. Comparing generated data from these two models, hospital managers can easily decide which policy works more efficiently given their hospital circumstances.
My model is almost complete. I just need to add some formulation to calculate rate of surgery cancellation rate and add inputs.

When the Veyron came out, everyone piled on the car for not sounding as impressive as the performance figures suggested. Judging by this video of this open-roof, 1,200 horsepower, $2.7 million Vitesse model, they had no clue what they're talking about.
Okay, it's not thunderous like a big-block hot rod, or musical like a V12 Ferrari, but it's deep and alien and so filled with turbo whoosh that you think the car is turbine powered.
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm kind of falling for the Veyron.

What Is Whole of Life Assurance?
When using these social links you will be departing from our regulatory website. Financial Advice Centre Ltd is not responsible for the content of any third party websites.
The value of investments and income from them may go down. You may not get back the original amount invested.
Inheritance tax planning and trusts are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Whole of Life insurance is designed to pay out in the event of death, whenever it occurs. Cover is provided for your whole life. The premium you pay can either be purely for cover in which case it is guaranteed or it could also include an investment element which could provide a cash-in value should the cover no longer be needed in future.
How the Insurance Benefits are Paid For:
A premium is charged based on the cost of providing the cover, the client's age and health situation. There are various types of whole of life insurance:
Whole of life With Profits - the premium includes an investment element which participates in the insurer's with profits fund. The investment element can help reduce the effects of inflation but the bonus rate cannot be guaranteed. Once added to the plan the bonus cannot be removed. The cover is suitable for those who wish to provide a tax free lump sum on death, or those who have a potential inheritance tax liability. The cost of the cover is set based on the client's age and health, and takes into account the insurer's expectations of investment performance and expenses.
Unit Linked whole of life policies - the premium is split between providing for the cost of the insurance cover, and investing into the insurer's funds in order to subsidise the cost of cover in later years. The value of the investments and income from them may go down. You may not get back the original amount invested.
There is a choice over the level of death cover - Maximum, Minimum or Balanced. This can be changed as required, throughout the life of the policy. Each monthly premium is used to buy units in a selected fund, then sufficient units are cancelled to pay for the cost of the life cover. The remaining units are invested depending on the level of cover chosen.
Maximum cover provides the cheapest cost of the insurance but includes only a minimal investment element. Minimum cover is the opposite, with greater emphasis on investment and little life cover. Balanced cover falls between the two with the ratio of sum assured to premium being aimed at maintaining the level of cover throughout the life of the policy. However it is dependent on the investment element growing at a sufficient rate. If the desired rate is not achieved either the amount of cover will be reduced or the premiums increased.
The premiums on a unit linked whole of life policy are generally reviewed after the first ten years, and more frequently thereafter. This is because the cost of providing life cover is more expensive as you get older. The aim of the premium review is to ensure that the fund value built up is sufficient to enable the life cover to continue at the same level, otherwise the premium would have to increase, or the level of cover would be reduced.
It will be appreciated that it is therefore possible to pay a premium within a wide range for a given sum assured.
If cover throughout life is needed with some assurance of the level of the premium, then balanced cover would be chosen. If the highest sum assured is required for the lowest premium, maximum cover (minimum investment) would be chosen. If a low sum assured but a high savings element is needed, minimum cover (maximum investment) would be chosen.
At the end of an initial period (between 7 and 10 years) the insurance company will review the premium to sum assured ratio. Where maximum cover is selected, either the premium will increase significantly or the sum assured will reduce. Where balanced cover is selected the review will still take place, but only if the insurance company has failed to meet its target rate of growth will it be necessary to alter the premium or sum assured. Further reviews then take place, usually every 3-5 years. Flexible Whole of Life Assurance plans usually have other features that may allow the sum assured and/or premium to be index linked, or otherwise increased, in pre-determined stages.
Plans can be written on a single life or joint life basis, where the sum assured is payable on the first death (or diagnosis of a critical illness) or on the second (usually used for inheritance tax (IHT) planning providing that the policy is written under trust).
Although these plans can accrue a cash value, they are not suitable for use as a savings vehicle, but to provide protection against death or illness. Where a significant fund is established, however, it is possible to use this to pay future premiums, so a plan could be made "paid up" with all future premiums being paid from the accumulated fund until this runs out. When the insurance is no longer required, one simply ceases to pay the premium. A surrender value may then be payable.
Whilst traditionally Whole of Life plans are able to accrue a cash value, non-investment linked Whole of Life plans are also available in the marketplace. Generally these plans tend to be more competitive in terms of premium as they do not accrue a cash value.

I wish I could say I saw Terminator 2: Judgment Day on opening night or even opening weekend. But because my lame parents wouldn't let me see R-rated movies carte blanche for another two years, I didn't see it until it went into the dollar theaters well into its run. Since the summer of 1991 was the first summer in which I subscribed to Entertainment Weekly, Terminator 2 was the first mega-blockbuster that I followed on a week-to-week basis. I knew about the rave reviews, the record $100 million budget, the groundbreaking special effects work, the cutting-edge CGI/morphing effects and the ridiculous stunt work. When I finally saw the James Cameron sequel, I was struck not so much by the jaw-dropping action and glorious spectacle, but by its sense of despair. For a film that was one of the biggest movies of all time once upon a time, this is a deeply sad motion picture.
None of this will be a shock to the legions of lifelong fans, as the film's grim point of view is present from the first frames, during which we see Los Angeles (and much of the world) get wiped out by nuclear Armageddon and then bear witness to a horrific opening credits montage set amid the fiery aftereffect. Brad Fidel's theme is as it was in the first film seven years prior, but not only does the theme feel more multi-layered this time out, it is imbued with a greater sense of mourning and tragedy. The seeming inevitability of mankind's destruction hangs over every frame. And unlike any number of dark or grim blockbusters before or since, Terminator 2: Judgment Day is all the better due to its steadfast sincerity. This is not a film that is too cool to give a damn. It dares you not to care and wears its emotional melodrama on its sleeve as a howling cry for peace.
From the opening credits to the surprisingly moving finale, complete with a cautiously optimistic epilogue, the biggest movie of 1991 was one of the great feel-bad blockbusters of all time. The violence inflicted upon innocent bystanders by Robert Patrick's beautifully snake-like T-1000 stings, the outrage Eddie Furlong's John Conner feels over the very idea of killing resonates in every beat of the film's grim middle 75 minutes and the emotional torture inflicted upon Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor is wrenching. This is never more apparent than in the film's most disturbing sequence, where Sarah attempts to murder Joe Morton's Myles Dyson in front of his family, even as said family howls in horror and begs for his life, because his discoveries will eventually bring about Judgment Day. It's a classic Dead Zone scenario, with the twist being that "baby Hitler" is a relative innocent unknowingly bringing doom to his world, and whose eventual unfair death is duly mourned.
T2 is a violent action thriller which abhors violence. It is a sleek and steely spectacle which finds big moments in quiet character contemplation. It was the most expensive movie of all time, yet told what was a mostly small-scale chase thriller with just a handful of major characters. Cameron's screenplay is a finely-tuned watch of onscreen logic, and yet its most potent emotional beats come amid a 45-minute digression that strays from the core "Terminator versus Terminator" narrative. Despite (or because of) it being a near-hopeless ode to our eventual mutual annihilation, filled with doomed characters and a finely tuned sense of apocalypse, it became one of the most successful summer movies of all time. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice.
Terminator 2 opened over July 4th weekend in 1991 with a then-record $52 million, including $31m via its Fri-Sun frame. That was a record five-day gross and the second-biggest opening weekend of all time after Batman's $42m debut two summers prior. Thanks to rave reviews, white-hot buzz and the relative paucity of comparative summer options over the second half of the season (all due respect to Boys in the Hood, the reissue of 101 Dalmatians and Hot Shots), it legged it to a $204m (a 3.9x multiplier) domestic. Adjusted for inflation, that's the tenth-biggest R-rated movie of all time, and among summer releases it's behind only National Lampoon's Animal House. With $519m worldwide, it was third-biggest global grosser ever just behind Star Wars ($530m prior to the 1997 reissue) and E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial ($619m before its various reissues).
Moreover, it was the first film to earn more than $300 million overseas, a milestone not repeated until Jurassic Park in 1993. Like Jurassic Park and Independence Day, Terminator 2: Judgment Day existed at the threshold of a new wave of CGI-powered blockbusters, thriving in a time when the impossible was becoming possible but limitations still demanded a reliance on practical effects, character and plotting over non-stop action. It was not the last grim blockbuster smash (The Hunger Games franchise, the various Planet of the Apes movies and The Dark Knight come to mind). Nor was it the last film to use special effects to spruce up a "boy and his dog" story (E.T. in 1982, Transformers in 2007), even if in this film the cool new pet morphed into a father figure. But the film holds up due to James Cameron's obvious skills as a filmmaker, the inherent swiss-watch screenwriting necessitated by the newfangled special effects and its creator's open-hearted sincerity.
The film remains an open-hearted plea for survival, even as it didn't give us very good odds.
If you're so inclined, the Out Now Podcast team did a commentary for the film 1.5 months ago, and of course, it will be returning to theaters with a 3D conversion starting tonight.

Girls can play football too!
Before the completion had even started we had all ready made Brockwell history as we had never had a girl's football team before. After several weeks of football training it was finally time to go to the Chesterfield girl's football finals. We arrived at Hasland school with plenty of time to spare and began our own warm up drills. It was lead by a young boy who was working towards his PE exams. He thought we were great! Once all the teams had arrived we began the tournament. Our first match was against Staveley but we were already nervous because we had seen the standard of Staveley's skills when we warmed up near them. Stavely won the toss up and took the centre. The game begun and Staveley passed to their best player. Lucy tackled them and then passed to Megan. She had a shot but unfortunately missed. It was their goal kick. She booted it over to their best player who was on our side of the pitch. Their best player took an incredible shot and she scored. Sadly, we couldn't score the equaliser. The game ended Stavely 1- Brockwell nil.
Chesterfield SSP Awards Night
On Thursday 29th September 2016, the Athletics team, Mr Hipkiss and Miss Lenthall were all invited to the Chesterfield Sports Awards night at the Winding Wheel. This was because we managed to get to the County Finals Athletic tournament in Derby. We were nominated as the best team in Chesterfield. When we got there we were delighted to find that Brockwell Junior School was the first award presented.

Schweinitz ist der Name eines schlesischen Adelsgeschlechts. Die zum niederschlesischen Uradel gehörenden Herren von Schweinitz gelangten später auch in Böhmen, Mähren und der Oberlausitz zu Besitz und Ansehen. Gräfliche wie auch untitulierte Zweige der Familie bestehen bis heute.

Geschichte

Herkunft
Einer alten Überlieferung nach kam das Geschlecht aus dem Herzogtum Meranien. Zusammen mit anderen Adelsfamilien sollen Ende des 12. Jahrhunderts Angehörige der Familie mit Hedwig von Andechs, Tochter von Herzog Berthold von Meranien, nach Schlesien gelangt sein. Die später heiliggesprochene Hedwig heiratete 1186 Herzog Heinrich von Schlesien. In älterer Literatur wird auch eine slawisch-polnische Abstammung vermutet.

Erstmals urkundlich erwähnt wird das Geschlecht am 12. März 1290 mit Johannes de Suentcza. Er erscheint als Ritter des Herzogs Konrad von Sagan in Winzig. Die Stammreihe beginnt mit Hans von Swencz auf Klein-Schweinitz, der zwischen 1387 und 1393 in Urkunden genannt wird. Namen gebendes Stammhaus war das Gut Klein-Schweinitz im Herzogtum Liegnitz, das auch zu den ältesten Besitzungen (seit 1304) der Familie gehörte.

Die Schreibweise des Namens variiert von Schwenze, Schwenz, Swentz, Schwentz und Schwynig. Erst Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts mit Chrispoh II. († 1538), zunächst Vormundschafts- und Regierungsrat von Herzog Friedrich II. von Liegnitz, später Statthalter zu Glogau, Landesältester und Rat von König Ferdinand I., wurde Schweinitz gebräuchlich.

Ausbreitung und Besitzungen
Jacob von Schwenz war um 1320 Rat der Herzogin Anna von Liegnitz und Brieg, und Platzka von Schwenz wurde 1368 herzoglicher Rat am Hof zu Liegnitz und Brieg. Hans von Schwenz, Herr zu Seifersdorf und Sohn des gleichnamigen Stammvaters, war 1436 Vormundschaftsrat des Prinzen Friedrich von Liegnitz. Franz, Herr auf Hölle, war 1483 herzoglich Brieger Rat und Landrichter.

Während des Dreißigjährigen Krieges war Georg Hermann von Schweinitz (1602–1667) Oberst und Kriegsrat. Nach seiner Ernennung zum Stadtkommandanten von Freiberg durch den sächsischen Kurfürsten Johann Georg verteidigte er die wichtige Stadt gegen die Schweden. Er war Mitglied der Fruchtbringenden Gesellschaft unter dem Namen "Der Bringende" und starb 1668 als Kommandant von Breslau.

Im Laufe der Zeit bildeten sich zahlreiche Häuser und Zweige, unter anderem die Häuser zu Seifersdorf und Petersdorf der Stammlinie, die wiederum die Zweige zu Tschepplau (Krzepielów, Sława), Groß-Kriechen, Pohlschildern, Dürschwitz und Andersdorf, Mühlrädlitz, Kutscheborwitz, Klieschau, Wiltsch, Jaenowitz und Pilgramsdorf begründeten. Neben diesen Stammgütern waren auch die Güter Hölle, Würtsch, Döhnau, Tinz, Johnsdorf, Langenwaldau, Liebenau, Stelzenberg, Kroitsch, Krayn (Crayn), Hänchen, Kauder, Royn, Schmochwitz und Raischmannsdorf im Liegnitzschen zeitweise im Besitz bzw. Teilbesitz der Familie. Später konnten auch die Herrschaften Niebusch, Dieban, Stephansdorf, Berghof, Alt Raudten, Nieder-Adelsdorf und Braunau erworben werden. Noch Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts waren die Schweinitzer zu Seifersdorf, Groß- und Klein-Kriechen, Dürschwitz, Liebenau und Krayn (Crayn) im Liegnitzschen, zu Kutscheborwitz im Wohlauschen, zu Kauder im Schweidnitzschen und zu Niederleuba und Friedrichsdorf in der Oberlausitz besitzlich.

Aus der gräflichen Linie kam Friedrich von Schweinitz (1771–1848), genannt von Schlichting und Bukowiec, preußischer Oberstleutnant a. D. Er heiratete in erster Ehe 1797 Helene von Schlichting-Buckowick (geschieden 1807) und in zweiter Ehe 1820 Antonie von Lichnowskiy und Woschütz. Das Paar hatte drei Söhne. Sein Bruder Julius I. Graf von Schweinitz († 1833) heiratete Friederieke vom Berge und Herrendorf. Ihr gemeinsamer Sohn Julius II., Graf von Schweinitz und Crayn, Freiherr von Kauder, wurde Majoratsherr der Güter Schloss Dieban, Grossendorf, Kreischau, Neudort und Porschwitz im ehemaligen Landkreis Steinau sowie des Gutes Gugelwitz im Landkreis Lüben in Niederschlesien. Seine Brüder waren: (i) Graf Friedrich von Schweinitz (1795–1866), preußischer Major a. D., besaß die Majorate zu Hausdorf, Kauder, Nieder-Wolmsdorf und Preisdorf im Landkreis Bolkenhain, Crayn im Landkreis Liegnitz und Hänchen (Haenichen) im Landkreis Jauer. Er wurde zum Mitglied im Preußischen Herrenhaus auf Lebenszeit ernannt und heiratete 1837 Melanie von Troschke, Miteigentümerin der freien Minderstandesherrschaft Sulau in Schlesien; (ii) Graf Rudolph von Schweinitz (1797–1838), der sich 1826 mit Julie von Troschke, einer Miteigentümerin der freien Minderstandesherrschaft Sulau vermählte; und (iii) und Graf Hermann von Schweinitz (* 1799), Chef-Präsident des Appellationsgerichts zu Posen. Ein weiterer Bruder, Graf Heinrich von Schweinitz (* 1800), wurde hannoverischer Oberbergrat bei der Berghauptmannschaft Clausthal; aus seiner 1834 geschlossenen Ehe mit Emilie Struve gingen vier Söhne hervor.

Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts kamen aus der adeligen Linie Julius von Schweinitz, Herr auf Ober-Bögendorf im Landkreis Schweidnitz, und Louis von Schweinitz, Herr auf Alt-Raudten und Wandritsch im Landkreis Steinau, Leutnant a. D., Landesältester und Stiftspropst zu Barschau.

Ein Familienverband der Grafen und Herren von Schweinitz wurde am 5. März 1904 zu Berlin gegründet.

Standeserhebungen
Aus der Linie Krayn kam Julius von Schweinitz und Krayn auf Ober- und Nieder-Kauder und Crayn, preußischer Kammerherr, der am 6. November 1741 zu Breslau durch Friedrich II. (Friedrich der Große) in den preußischen Freiherrenstand mit dem Titel "Freiherr von Kauder" erhoben wurde. Am 13. September 1748 zu Berlin wurde er von Friedrich II. in den preußischen Grafenstand erhoben. Sein Enkel Friedrich Graf von Schweinitz und Krayn heiratete am 4. April 1797 Caroline Freiin von Schlichting und Bukowiec, die Erbin des Fideikommiss Gurschen, und erhielt am 2. Juni 1797 zu Berlin eine preußische Namen- und Wappenvereinigung mit denen der Freiherren von Schlichting als "Graf von Schweinitz, Freiherr von Schlichting".

September 1913 in das königlich sächsische Adelsbuch unter der Nummer 464 eingetragen.

Aus der Linie Rudelsdorf erhielt Hans Friedrich von Schweinitz auf Rudelsdorf und Jägerndorf am 28. November 1726 zu Wien den Alten Böhmischen Herrenstand.

Aus der Linie Seifersdorf kam Georg Rudolph von Schweinitz auf Seifersdorf und Sorge, der am 29. April 1683 zu Wien in den böhmischen Freiherrenstand erhoben wurde. Eine brandenburgische Bestätigung erhielt er als kurfürstlich brandenburgischer Hof- und Kammerrat am 12. Mai 1685.

Aus der Linie Tscheplau stammten Melchior von Schweinitz auf Tscheplau und sein Neffe Hans Christoph von Schweinitz, Sohn seines 1698 verstorbenen Bruders Hans Christoph, die am 20.

A defendant's first pleading in a case, which addresses the dispute on the merits and presents any defenses and counterclaims. A typical answer denies most of the plaintiff's allegations and claims complete defenses to allegations that are not denied.
After receiving a plaintiff's complaint, a defendant must respond with a pleading called an answer. In the answer, the defendant must address each allegation in the complaint. Some jurisdictions allow defendants to make a general denial of all allegations in the complaint. The defendant may also raise counterclaims or affirmative defenses.
If a defendant does raise counterclaims in her answer, the plaintiff must respond to those counterclaims with a pleading called an "answer to a counterclaim." The form and content of an "answer to a counterclaim" is similar to that of an answer. In the federal courts, if the defendant does not plead a counterclaim, plaintiffs may only file a "reply to an answer" with the court's permission. See the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See also the federal courts' website for sample complaints.

Two (2) Japanese clay or pottery dolls that may be newer Hakata Dolls. The shorter of the two is a young lady dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. She's afixed to a wood stand and is 3-3/4" tall. The other doll looks like a school girl. She has a hat in hand and pack on her back. She measures 5" tall including the clay stand which is connected to the doll. Probably 10 or 20 years old. There is some dust soiling and possibly paint fading on the smaller doll (hard to tell how much coloring there was originally).


I took this picture a few months ago. I am a dinosaur lover. So I had to use this picture.
Photo of the Week – Already dreaming of spring.
The male Northern Cardinal is perhaps responsible for getting more people to open up a field guide than any other bird. They're a perfect combination of familiarity, conspicuousness, and style: a shade of red you can't take your eyes off. Even the brown females sport a sharp crest and warm red accents. Cardinals don't migrate and they don't molt into a dull plumage, so they're still breathtaking in winter's snowy backyards. In summer, their sweet whistles are one of the first sounds of the morning. I took this picture in my backyard.
Giraffe from Animal Kingdom at WDW.
Giraffes are the world's tallest mammals, thanks to their towering legs and long necks. A giraffe's legs alone are taller than many humans—about 6 feet (1.8 meters). These long legs allow giraffes to run as fast as 35 miles (56 kilometers) an hour over short distances and cruise comfortably at 10 miles (16 kilometers) an hour over longer distances.
Bulls sometimes battle one another by butting their long necks and heads. Such contests aren't usually dangerous and end when one animal submits and walks away.
I am honored to be nominated for the Liebster Award and want to thank Sky Blue Daze for nominating me. It is heartening to have other writers give me recognition for my posts.
My husband and I vacation every year at Walt Disney World and we are Vacation Club Members. Besides loving Disney World also what draws us there is to visit my niece who is a Chef at Animal Kingdom.
We love to cruise. We have gone on at least 15. So I am what you call a cruise-a-holic.
Before I joined the military I was a butcher.
Since I have retired I have taken up photography.
I am an avid scrapbooker. I spent many hours creating scrapbooks for my nieces and nephew. I created a book for them that encompassed there whole high school experience.
I love to spend time at a campground.
I have four siblings. My oldest brother is blind and my oldest sister has Cerebral Palsy.
For high school I went to an all-girl school. And the all-boys school was 2 blocks away.
I met my husband in California I was from Michigan and he was from San Antonio TX.
When I joined the Air Force there were not many woman in the job field I chose. The training class I was in had 35 males and 3 females. My job was very similar to the Occupational, Safety and Health Administration or otherwise known as OSHA, I have to say this was also 35 years ago.
I love feeding the wildlife.

【Alumni】Tremendously heartwarming alumni of CM set up scholarships to help students
On May 30, 2019, the College of Management held the Academic Year 2018 Second Semester Scholarship Review Meeting. Besides the faculty of the College of Management, the Heritage Scholarship donor, EMBA-11 representative曾國揚, and Yuyu Chin Lu Education Foundation Chairman 柯畊宇, and Mr. 鍾金福 Memorial Scholarship donor CS6 鍾志雄 were also invited to attend the meeting. Among the available scholarships, the Heritage Scholarship was initiated by the 11th class alumni of the EMBA program, which donates an average of NT$320,000 every year since 2000. Following that example, the 10th class alumnus of the EMBA program, Mr. 張永義, set up the "Yuyu Chin Lu Education Foundation Scholarship" in 2014. The 6th class alumnus of the CSEMBA program 鍾志雄 set up the "Mr. 鍾金福 Memorial Scholarship" in 2017. These three scholarships established by alumni have helped more than 213 students as of this year. The total amount of donations amounted to NT$3.2 million.
The College of Management Dean San-Yih Hwang said that a total of 17 students applied for scholarships donated by the alumni this semester. Although the applicant family's economic situation is in great need of help, most of the students who applied for the program excel academically, and several of them are even first in their class. Therefore, he specially pointed that out during the review meeting, and with an unanimous consent of the donor representatives, the student in most need would receive two scholarships at the same time. The Dean thanked the alumni for providing such scholarships for the students to help them pursue their studies with ease, turning their life around. The enthusiastic and charitable alumni further expressed that they could provide part-time opportunities to students. For instance, EMBA11 曾國揚 runs a kindergarten, and is looking for an administrative assistant and various tutors for English, mathematics, computers, etc. at his school. On the other hand, 鍾志雄mentioned that since he has worked in mainland China for a long time, if students wish to look for opportunities there, he would be very happy to help them with their employment and even start a business there. The alumni also recommended all graduates, especially the EMBA graduates, to organize a work-study and employment network to help students in need.
During the meeting, the Dean also shared with the representatives the status of the students who had received the scholarhsip in the past. He mentioned that one of the eligible students in the last semester turned down the application because he had already received sufficient scholarships outside the school and would like to yield the quota to students who need it more than him. The representatives who attended the meeting all agreed that the purpose of their donation is to encourage students in need to come forward to receive help and give them a chance to change their life for the better. More importantly, when the scholarship recipients are more capable, they can help others in need, paying it forward and forming a positive cycle.
In the 2018 academic year, 陳世哲 (right), then Dean of the College of Management, accepted the donation from the EMBA11 alumni representative for the Heritage Scholarship.
On behalf of the Yuyu Chin Lu Education Foundation, Mr. 張鴻熙, donated a scholarship of NT$120,000 to the students of College of Management.

Sitting in the corner of a large classroom, typing these words and thinking about when will I go home. Having headache, flu and getting tired with all of these "school" things. I don't think that I'm going to be a teacher later. I love the students, but I hate the teacher's "tools"

AMC offer domestic asbestos services to give you the peace of mind you need in your home. You don't want to have to worry about your safety in your own home. Using our residential asbestos survey and management plan, you won't have to.
Though it's not a formal requirement expressed by the Health and Safety Executive Guidance, residential asbestos surveys are very popular. They allow the tenant or homeowner to be confident any asbestos in their home is safe and not causing harm to anyone who lives there.
AMC offer a residential asbestos survey to our customers. This survey has been adapted from strict guidance outlined in the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. It involved all the relevant risk assessments and advice to ensure the continued safety of your home.
Remember, you might not necessarily need to remove asbestos if it is found. As long as the material is undamaged and regularly inspected for risk, it won't cause you any harm. It is only when asbestos materials are broken or damaged in some way that they release the fibres that cause illnesses.
Our team can advise you on the best course of action for any asbestos containing materials present in your home.
Could there be asbestos in your home?
Check out this helpful infographic to see likely spots for asbestos in the home.
If you think there is asbestos in your home, do not try to repair or remove it yourself unless you have had training for non-licensed asbestos work. Instead, seek advice and stay safe.
Is it your duty to manage asbestos?
If you're the homeowner, it will be your responsibility to manage any asbestos found on the premises. If you're a tenant, you'll have to look to your contract to see who is responsible for managing the asbestos.
If you're in a flat or shared accommodation, it's likely that the owner of the building is the dutyholder for any asbestos that might be present. They'll definitely be responsible for managing the common areas. But for your private residence, your contract will let you know if the tenant, building owner or a third party is responsible for managing any asbestos risks within that space.
If you're planning some home renovations and you suspect asbestos is present in your home, you'll likely need a refurbishment survey before you can begin. Removing partitions, walls and big units, for example, might require a refurbishment survey.
This survey won't assess the condition of the asbestos; it'll just confirm whether or not it is there. We will also offer advice on the best way to remove the materials before your work can start.


Irreverence unveiled. Tamara Despujols' work.
Tamara Despujols, a multimedia artist and architect, women's rights and social activist, aims to merge both life and art in a most peculiar way, by viewing the interconnection between our bodies and the places we inhabit through the complex thread of thought that conceptually strings together all her works. Fearlessly, she transforms her ideas and critiques of contemporary life into thought-provoking visual and architectural objects that represent her take on art and life, recalling Allan Kaprow's concept of "art as an experience".
A major concern in her work is the increasing detachment between humans and nature, and how this progressive shift in emphasis from nature to human can be traced to a consequence of power, capital control, productivity, the implementation of a gender driven, patriarchal division of labor, and the public space.
To an important degree, the aesthetic and conceptual choices that Despujols takes when producing her work revolve and include participation by the spectator. She seeks to alter the lives of people, through subtle and not so subtle means, by pushing forward and making her viewers somehow shift in their perception of art and life itself. Whether you eat a banana from the ever-ripening pile, swim in the waters of a pink beach inlet in Miami or walk through a street that has been erased by mirrors, art is, for Despujols, always a part of life, a part of our city, our body, embedded and immersed within everything around it, making it impossible for your life not to be impacted, even modified, by your own actions. She intends to grasp it all quickly and throw her reflections right back at the viewers/participants of her works.
Despujols received her Bachelor in Science in Architecture from the Universidad Central de Venezuela. She attended the Facoltá Di Architettura at the Politecnico di Milano in Italy where she obtained an Urban Major. She holds a Master in Real Estate Development and Urbanism from the University of Miami, and she attended Parsons School of Design in New York City for courses in Urban Anthropology and Urban Ecologies.
Despujols lives and works in Miami. In 2012 she co-founded TBD Group a women-run Architecture and Real Estate Development boutique firm, based in Miami. In 2014 TBD Group launched TBD-Projects Nonprofit Art Organization, a pop-up art space run by artists, created to promote experimental and collective projects. They have put together a variety of collective shows during Important Art Fairs as Miami Art Basel, Basel Art Basel and Art New York.

Abortion Procedures Ban Found Unconstitutional for the Third Time
US District Court Judge Richard Kopf of Lincoln, Nebraska ruled today that the Partial-Birth Abortion Act is unconstitutional, recognizing the law as a threat to women's health. The ban, signed into law by Bush in 2003, was challenged by the Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of Dr LeRoy Carhart and three other doctors. A similar ban in the state of Nebraska was also overturned by Judge Kopf in 2000. That case, Stenberg v. Carhart, was also brought to trial by the Center for Reproductive Rights and Dr Carhart. Judge Kopf wrote a detailed and lengthy opinion totalling 500 pages, more than three times the length of other opinions issued in federal abortion ban trials, criticizing the medical conclusions drawn by Congress, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights. Judge Kopf concluded in his ruling that "the overwhelming weight of the trial evidence proves that the banned procedure is safe and medically necessary in order to preserve the health of women under certain circumstances. In the absence of an exception for the health of a woman, banning the procedure constitutes a significant health hazard to women." This is the third time the abortion procedures ban has been found unconstitutional. Two weeks ago, a federal judge in New York ruled that the procedure, properly known as intact dilation and extraction, could not be outlawed unless there was a consensus in the medical field that there would never be a circumstance in which the procedure could benefit a woman. A San Francisco US District Court judge came to the same conclusion on June 1, citing "undue burden" on a woman's right to choose. The Associated Press reports that all three rulings are expected to be appealed to the Supreme Court. DONATE to protect the right to a safe, legal abortion

Miracle in the Atacama Desert: THE 33 Mega Movie Page
Sep 20, 2019 By Stella
If you like to live dangerously, go ahead and jump to The 33 Mega Movie Page. If you would rather play it safe (like a mining engineer!), then read the introduction below. The choice is yours. smile
You remember, don't you? The initial reports of the mine collapse in Chile made news around the world and, at first, it seemed certain it would be yet another mining tragedy. But this time, it was different. This time, working together and never giving up, an international team of experts devised a way to bring those buried men back to their families. All of them. Alive.
Fast forward a few years and the film about this miracle in the desert is on our screens! The process of making this movie was fun to watch–everyone involved with it wanted to share its progress on Twitter and Instagram. Once again, Gabriel Byrne chose to work on an international project with a woman director. Patricia Riggen, who began her career in Mexico, took the reins of the production and made it her own. She captures memorable scenes that bring the human element to the fore, while making the technical and action scenes as vivid as any big action film director. Her opening long shot into the mouth of the mine is breath-taking!
The finished product does justice to the story, to the men and women who endured such terrible physical and emotional trauma, and to the country that worked to make the miracle happen. An inspiring tale, yes–but also a cautionary one.
Gabriel Byrne plays the mastermind of the rescue, engineer André Sougarret, as though he had been an engineer all his life. He is that kind of actor; he can convince you he has mastered a particular field of study or complex and detailed information, playing a psychiatrist, a philosopher, or even a priest easily and believably. He does justice to this role and to the stark reality of it–not an easy job.
In addition to playing one of the heroes of the story, Gabriel also performs another function: narrative builder. The details of exactly what has occurred in this awful mishap, the technical specifics of the dangers the trapped men face, and the outline of possible solutions to this tense and possibly tragic situation are all presented to us by him, sometimes in measured tones, sometimes in near howls of frustration. It is striking to realize that most of what we understand about what is actually going on in this rescue operation is because the engineer is telling us, in often tense scenes with his co-star Rodrigo Santoro. That's a big responsibility to bear and our favorite Irishman pulls it off with aplomb.
The Mega Movie Page for The 33 also builds a narrative, with behind the scenes videos and pics, productions stills, posters, video clips, reviews, screencaps from the film, and more. The 33 is an inspiring, beautifully shot, and powerfully acted film that reminds us of the indomitable nature of the human spirit, even when faced with the destructive force of an entire mountain. These days, we can all use a little inspiration. This movie delivers it! heart

Great movie! And it's all the more wonderful that this wonderful story really happened and didn't come from fantasy alone. Gabriel Byrne was phenomenal as an engineer, who always doubted the feasibility of the rescue operation himself! Thank you very much for the great summary **************
Rosi, I'm glad you enjoyed the Mega Movie Page! Gabriel was so believable in his role as the doubting engineer who did not want to give up. I know he had fun making this film, too–and he was able to speak Spanish on the set and in some interviews, a language he used to teach, so that was an added bonus! ;-)
Bernardita Ossa Rojas
Dear Stella,
It was really a pleasure to have seen The 33, remembering the moment when the miners were all rescued and it was a sort of miracle to know all were alive and fighting for survival!
Bernardita, I know that was a scary time for you and your country! I am so glad a tragedy was averted and the miners all escaped.
Now have this great film of the miners' story and how countries worked together to rescue them–so inspiring! <3
Thank you Stella for the informative Mega Movie page. It reminded me of when I first saw the film in full cinematic splendour on the big screen. Thank you Gabriel Byrne for being in this film and bringing attention to human stories of strength, hope and endurance. So rare these days.

You are welcome, Angelle!
I remember this film was one of the first in which Instagram and Twitter played a big role in keeping us updated while filming was underway. That was a lot of fun!
I've watched The 33 five times now and each time I see something I missed. I really enjoy it and appreciate the story, its message, and the skill with which it is all brought to life on screen.
And Gabriel makes a very convincing engineer, doesn't he? That man can do anything! <3

Q: Having two models on a ListView in django I have set a ListView query which works fine. I now want to add a star ratings to the thumbnail so that each car has its own customer star rating within the thumbnail.
My present Listview is as such:
class CarListView(FilterMixin, ListView):
    model = Car
    queryset = Car.objects.all()
    filter_class = CarFilter

I am getting an error saying:

'str' object has no attribute '_meta'

Now I think it is because I have not added the star ratings model which is an app on its own onto the ListView. Any idea how I can add the star ratings model here? The star ratings library I am using is django-star-ratings.

Whilst in Turkey I'd lost a lot of weight, it actually probably wasn't a lot, but it was a lot for me. Whenever I've tried to eat healthily in the past to shift a few pounds it never worked. But maybe that's because I was doing it for the wrong reasons before. My ex would always say he liked the way I looked, but that was always followed by a "but" and that but was usually that I "could do with slimming down a bit." Me being me, and being as stubborn as I am, took the attitude that if he didn't like me he should leave me, which he eventually did over two years after he first told me that (SEE YA!) but I think as a result of his words, I just put on more weight. Whilst in Turkey I was drinking more water, exercising more as I was mainly walking everywhere round resort, and eating what is stereotypically classed as "healthy" ie salads, fruit, veg but of course there was a near enough weekly trip to my favourite cafe to get the best strawberry cheesecake on earth. So as a result, my work shorts which were too tight at the start of the season became way too loose and began to fall off of me. If it wasn't for the fact I had a bum to keep them up, they would have been falling down all the time. However when I returned home my tummy soon started to bloat. I hadn't put on any weight, I was actually still losing weight, but my tummy was growing in size every day.
The first day I started to be sick.
It was a Thursday and I'd been feeling ill all week, but I still went to work anyway. There were tummy bugs going around and colds so I just assumed it was one of them. But when I had to keep dashing to the loo feeling like I needed to be sick, and eventually was sick, I asked my managers if I could go home which they gladly sent me so I didn't infect anyone else, which is air enough, especially when working in a food environment.
I can't remember who it was that picked me up from work but someone did as I didn't feel like I could walk home and we managed to get an appointment with the "emergency doctor" at my surgery but it wasn't till later that afternoon, all I could do was wait.
When I got to the doctors I was in agony. My whole tummy was sore, and I hadn't been to the loo in 30 minutes and was so worried about making it to the toilet in time as I didn't know where the nearest toilets were or how to get to them. This was something I'd grown to need to know, and I started to panic inside if I didn't know.
I went in to see the doctor and he asked if he could feel my tummy – reluctantly I said yes. At this point my tummy was still ridiculously bloated, I had tried to hold it in at work and wore "shaper" tights to try and hide it but nothing worked. It was agony, but little did I know it was just the start of many doctors prodding and feeling my tummy and something I'd just have to get used to. He started by feeling my upper abdomen, just under my ribs and I burst into tears, something he didn't expect. Then he moved down both sides my of tummy, and the tears carried on. Then across my bikini line, again more tears, then up towards my belly button, where there were no tears just sobs from the pain of everywhere else hurting.
I collected my prescriptions (£16.80!!) and went home with the advice to return on Monday if I was either not getting better or if I had got worse.
Trying to take the first fibre drink was just vile. The only way I can describe it is, as a really strong flavoured, orange lucozade with a furry texture. Absolutely disgusting, and I had to try and have these twice a day. Needless to say, I struggled to keep it down, but it was one sachet down and twenty nine left to go.

Q: "stats overview" feature using tools like bootstrap? http://itjobsco.com/
I have stumbled upon an interesting feature on this website when you scroll down that they have called "stats overview" which briefly displays data encircled, but am not sure which tools did they use to achieve that and wasn't able to reach them about it.
Would someone have an idea where to find a resource about it? Or just how to achieve the same result?

A: If you use Firebug or IE Developer Tools to inspect the circles, you see that they just use some CSS to create the circles:
.wpjobus-stat-circle {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 160px;
    height: 160px;

A small red alga (up to 17 cm in length), the fronds are channelled with a thickened edge and widen from a narrow stipe with disc-like holdfast. The channelling is often slight and is most noticeable at the base of the frond. Mature plants have conspicuous growths of short, shout papillae (reproductive bodies) on the fronds. The plant is dark reddish-brown to purple in colour and may be bleached. The common name false Irish moss is used as it may be confused with Chondrus crispus (Irish moss). The main features separating the two species being the channelled frond and appearance of reproductive bodies on mature plants.
Occurs all around the British Isles but is abundant mainly on western coasts.
This alga is found on rocky shores, particularly in very exposed areas where it grows amongst barnacles and mussels, on less exposed shores it is often abundant under fucoids. It mainly inhabits the lower shore and rockpools, but can be found in the shallow sublittoral and occasionally deeper waters.

DeMatha (9-1) tops Good Counsel, 28-23; Heads to playoffs
BY CHRIS MCMANES — DeMatha Catholic High School and Good Counsel waged another thrilling "Great American Rivalry Series" football game at Marvin F. Wilson Stadium in Landover on Friday night.
Just when it looked like DeMatha was about to seize control, the Falcons stormed back and had a late chance to win in the regular-season finale. But three clutch defensive plays in the final minute allowed the Stags to prevail, 28-23.
"They played exactly how we knew they were going to play; they were going to play us hard to the end," DeMatha Head Coach Elijah Brooks said of the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference contest. "We killed ourselves when we had the chance to put the game away, and we have to get better at that moving into the next round.
"But I'm proud of the way our guys found a way to leave with a win."
The Stags (9-1, 6-1 WCAC) finished tied for first place in the WCAC and are seeded second in the playoffs by virtue of their loss to Gonzaga (9-1, 6-1). The Purple Eagles will face Good Counsel (6-4, 4-3) at the University of Maryland's Byrd Stadium on Saturday Nov. 14 at noon. DeMatha will play St. John's (7-3, 5-2) at 4.
The winners will meet for the WCAC championship Sunday Nov. 22 at 5 p.m. DeMatha, ranked fourth locally by The Washington Post and 18th in the nation by USA Today, has won the past two league titles.
The Stags took a 28-10 lead late in the third quarter when Lorenzo Harrison added another long touchdown run to his highlight reel. The 5-foot-8, 187-pound senior, who had a 92-yard TD against Gonzaga, went 70 yards against Good Counsel.
Harrison took the handoff and went right before cutting back across the middle. He made it to the left sideline and appeared as if he would be brought down, but he juked and broke two tackles at about the 10-yard-line and scored.
Falcons quarterback Andres Castillo scored on a 13-yard run to make it 28-17. DeMatha started the ensuing drive on its 42 and used a steady dose of runs by Harrison and Anthony McFarland to reach the Good Counsel 6.
Harrison, who had 18-, 9- and 10-yard runs on consecutive plays during the march, swept left but fumbled at the 5. Robert Galloway plucked it out of the air and ran 50 yards down the right edge to the Stags' 45.
Two plays later, Mohamed Ibrahim – who rushed for 202 yards – rumbled 45 yards up the middle to bring the Falcons to within five points with 6:32 remaining. Good Counsel elected to go for two points, but Grant Donaldson tackled Castillo in the backfield.
Donaldson, who plays linebacker and is DeMatha's punter, made a one-arm tackle to keep the lead at 5. Had the Falcons converted, they could have pulled to within a field goal of tying the game.
The Stags were forced to punt on their next drive but gained a first down when Ayinde Eley was called for roughing Donaldson. The 15-yard penalty moved the ball to the Good Counsel 43 and kept the visitors from regaining possession with more than five minutes to play.
The Falcons eventually took over at their 16 with 2:32 to go. They drove to the DeMatha 18 and called timeout with a first down and 57 seconds left. A bad snap resulted in quarterback Travis Nannen losing 12 yards. Chase Young, the Stags' multi-talented defensive end, knocked down the next pass, leaving Good Counsel two more opportunities to either gain a first down or score a touchdown.
Cornerback Andrew Robertson, one of 30 seniors playing his final home game, broke up Nannen's final two passes, one on the goal line and one at about the 5 to preserve DeMatha's third straight victory. He was asked what Brooks told the defense during a timeout prior to the Falcons' final play.
"He said, 'You've got to make a play; it's as simple as that,'" Robertson said.
The "Great American Rivalry Series" features 100 of the top high school football rivalries in the nation. Members of the United States Marine Corps presented the championship trophy to the Stags. Robbie Robinson received a medal as the game's MVP, and was earlier honored by series promoters as the school's scholar athlete.
Robinson, who came to DeMatha this year after playing at Phoebus High School in Hampton, Va., made his 2015 debut at running back Friday. Primarily a cornerback who's heading to Arizona State, he rushed for 110 yards and two TDs, all in the first half. He punctuated the first quarter with a 58-yard scamper.
Harrison, a Maryland recruit, rushed 17 times for 173 yards. His 2-yard TD on the Stags' first drive of the second half gave his team a 21-10 advantage. His combination of speed, quickness, power and agility allows him to get into the open field and shed tacklers.
"I just tried to play my part, get as many yards as possible, fall forward," Harrison said. "I just came out and did my job."
The win over Good Counsel gives DeMatha momentum heading into the postseason.
"We ended the regular season like we wanted to," Brooks said. "Now we're starting a brand new season, and we're excited to move into the playoffs. … We're in a good position, right where we want to be. We've just got to come out and seize the moment."
