I wrote this quite a while ago but, just revisited it for a StrengthCoach.com discussion thread.
Frequently at clinics I speak with high school coaches who are interested in starting or improving a strength and conditioning program at their school. Most often they are looking for guidance in setting up the program and, always want to talk sets and reps . Coaches ask should I do BFS, use the Husker Program etc. etc. Much to their dismay, I generally want to discuss organization and administrative concepts because, in my experience, these are the real keys. Setup and execution make the program run not sets and reps.

England Rugby Union Team
Former Gloucester Rugby and Wasps boss Nigel Melville leaves top RFU role
He is replaced by ex-Harlequins and Italy head coach Conor O'Shea
Robert IlesHead of Sport
Nigel Melville during his time as Gloucester coach
Former Gloucester head coach Nigel Melville has left his role as the RFU's professional rugby director.
He has decided "to pursue new opportunities" with former Italy and Harlequins boss Conor O'Shea replacing him.
Since joining in July 2016, Melville has led the professional rugby department and played a pivotal role in the development of the partnership with Premiership Rugby and development of the England men's and women's sevens and fifteens teams.
In addition, he acted as interim CEO in the first half of 2019 ahead of Bill Sweeney's arrival in May.
Gloucester Rugby head coach Johan Ackermann speaks about Kyle Sinckler speculation
Melville said: "I am proud of all that the organisation has achieved over the last three years during some challenging times.
"I believe that England Rugby is in a great place and that leaving after the 2019 Rugby World Cup is the right time as the RFU start a new era and prepare for the next Rugby World Cup cycle."
Bill Sweeney added: "On behalf of everyone at the RFU, I would like to thank Nigel for his valuable contribution to the organisation and to England Rugby.
"His professionalism and knowledge of rugby and sport is outstanding and he will be missed. In particular, I am grateful for the support that he has given to me since I joined. He leaves with our very best wishes for the future."

O'Shea will now be responsible for the leadership, management and strategic direction of the professional game in England.
He will work closely with England men's head coach Eddie Jones, however the England team remains the responsibility of Jones who will continue to report directly to Sweeney.

O'Shea said: "I am privileged and honoured and it is an incredible opportunity to join at a really exciting time for English rugby.
"There is an exciting vision at the RFU. It is not just about winning tomorrow, but also about sustaining success and winning long into the future. We can really look forward to rejuvenating and re-energising the performance pathway to help, support and push England rugby on. As well as our relationships with all stakeholders, it's about women's rugby, sevens, referees and coach development, which is absolutely fundamental."

An introvert or an extrovert - Who is better at financial management?
The way you manage your investments is a product of several factors, your personality being one of them. Typically, whether you are an introvert or extrovert, your personality will have some bearing on your financial decisions and thought process. Read on to know your personality type and how sound your financial decisions are.
As an introvert, you tend to be more conservative when it comes to taking on risk, whereas extroverts have a tendency to be more open to taking risks with your money. No matter which side of the line you fall on, it is wise to create a balanced portfolio with high-risk and conservative investments.
For example, while you may be interested in equity investments, weigh the risk very carefully. Consider investing in SIPs or take a moderate route by opting for ULIPs to generate high-earnings with lesser risk.
While introverts are usually more mindful of the future, as an extrovert you may be planning for short-term goals more aggressively. The best way to proceed is to chalk out both short and long-term goals and plan your finances by enjoying your life in the present, while saving for the future in a disciplined manner.
It is necessary to research adequately before making any financial investments. However, if you are an extrovert, then it is likely that you are impulsive and quick at making financial decisions. For instance, you are more likely to act on an investment tip from a friend than an introvert. They, on the other hand, tend to subject every financial decision to extensive research and scrutiny. This has its pitfalls too, as it can lead to missed investment opportunities. So, strike a balance between thoroughly researching key features and the prospects of your investment, talk to experts, read blogs and act upon lucrative options in a timely manner.
As an extrovert who takes on multiple projects at once, it is possible that you neglect your investments and so, lose out on saving opportunities or miss warning signs when it comes to finance. On the other hand, if you are an introvert it is likely that you will spend more time monitoring your investments. In this regard, having a balance is key. Follow up on your investments periodically to see if they are meeting the goals that you have in mind.
Use the positive traits of your personality to grow your investment and overcome your drawbacks by taking inspiration from the opposite personality type. This approach will ensure that your investment strategy is balanced.


Poor credit loans ensure the best monetary source for the needy people and they also offer an opportunity to them to enhance their credit ratings through the way of easy repayments.
The bad credit situation arrives when people can't repay or make late repayments of their loan amounts. It is indeed a very bad financial situation because they are restricted to borrow money from their banks or otherwise, they have to keep collateral, which may be their home or car, to secure the loan amount. However, there is no need to visit your bank again and again for borrowing money; rather you can apply for poor credit loans provided by a number of loan companies in the UK marketplace and that too on affordable rates of interest and flexi repayment schedules.
To avail the best monetary benefits of these loans, the borrowers don't have to go through a cumbersome application procedure. Most of the loan companies have a simple and straightforward application procedure that people can easily follow by sitting online from their home or office or the place of their comfort. Once the bad credit borrowers sit online, they have to go to the lender's website and fill an online application form with mandatory details regarding their age and address proofs along with bank account details and income proofs. During the application procedure, no documentation is required from the borrowers.
The bad credit loans also facilitate borrowers with an instant disbursal of cash from the borrowers. As quickly the borrowers send their online request for these loans, the lenders will able to transfer the cash to their authorised bank accounts. After the submission of their loan application, the lender doesn't take much time in examining their application details and then provide the sufficient monetary help through fast disbursal of money. By getting a quick transfer of money from the lenders, the borrowers can easily as well as quickly come out from the days of financial urgency.
Unlike long term loans, the poor credit loans allow only small amount of money to be borrowed. But, in fact, it is an advantage for the borrowers where they not only get instant flow of cash from the lenders but also improve their credit scores by following easy repayment schedule. These loans usually don't have hefty loan repayments because the money is not huge enough. By making timely repayments, the bad credit borrowers can bring their credit scores back on track, which further help them to increase their credibility among the various lenders.
The loans for bad credit have several advantages for the borrowers but they have a disadvantage of a higher interest rate. When the borrowers apply for long term loans, they often provide security and a guarantor against the loan amount. But in these types of loans, where the amount is not big enough, the borrowers are not required to keep collateral as loan security or provide a guarantor to co-sign the loan agreement. Therefore , their interest rates are usually on a higher side that the borrowers have to pay.

"As Any Fool Can See" is a song written by Paul Nelson and Kenny Beard, and recorded by American country music artist Tracy Lawrence. It was released on December 13, 1994 as the second single from his album, I See It Now. The song peaked at number 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and at number 18 on Canada's RPM country chart.

Critical reception
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine, reviewed the song favorably, saying that while Lawrence has "employed the fiddle hook at least once before" and the "melody does sound awfully familiar", the formula works due to his "usual wide-eyed and soulful vocal approach."

Music video
The music video is a continuation of a Quantum Leap theme from many music videos Lawrence released in the mid-1990s. This particular video begins with the ending of the previous video for "I See It Now." Lawrence is "leaped" onto a ship that is being robbed by pirates. This scene alternates with Lawrence performing "As Any Fool Can See" in a rough Seaman's bar. Back on the ship, he emerges from below deck dressed as a pirate. After fighting through the other pirates, he rescues a woman that the pirates are trying to make walk the plank. As Lawrence jumps into the water, he is "leaped" to the next video, "Texas Tornado."

Chart performance
"As Any Fool Can See" debuted at number 59 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of December 31, 1994.

It's difficult when your little one gets a virus. It can be rough, both physically, and psychologically. About all you can do is apply nasal suction, and try to control the fever. But, keeping the nasal passages clear is also a big step towards making your baby more comfortable. This is normally done with the use of a nasal aspirator for baby. There are many different types of devices to choose from, and all are modestly priced .
Of course, prevention is the best medication , but odds are, your child will come down with the common cold at some point. It is not unusual for infants to have 7 or more colds during their first year. A baby's immune system is not yet developed enough to fight off the viruses that cause colds. But before you break out the nasal aspirator for baby, you should learn a little bit about nasal suction, and the workings of a nasal aspirator for baby. It may sound like redundant advice, but you'd be surprised at how many people buy something, and try to use it without understanding how it works. A nasal aspirator for baby is no different than any other device, in that respect.
The human upper respiratory system is developed to drain out when the head is erect. Since babies can't stand or sit on their own, mucous can drain back into the esophagus, into the abdomen, chest, and even into the Eustachian tubes and into the inner ear, resulting in earaches, abdominal pain, and persistent coughing. Eliminating excess mucous with nasal suction can help avoid this.
One way to make your baby more comfortable is to keep it's nasal area clear to allow for easier respiration, through the use of nasal suction. Caution: Before using any kind of nasal aspirator for baby, be sure to spray the baby's nasal passages liberally with a saline solution and allow it to set for a few moments to loosen dry mucous. Dry mucous will hurt when it pulls loose, and can damage tender nasal tissue. After a few minutes, it will be safe to begin nasal suction.
The most basic nasal aspirator for baby is a rubber bulb-syringe. This is a short nozzle, with a manually-operated 'bulb' on the end. You just squeeze the bulb, place the end of the nozzle carefully into the baby's nose (not too far), and slowly and gently release pressure on on the bulb. The bulb will create nasal suction, drawing the mucous into the bulb. Then, empty the bulb, rinse the unit, and do it again for the other nostril. The drawback to this type of nasal aspirator for baby is that they are difficult to clean and sterilize. They can not be taken apart, and all you can do is rinse them in a mild chlorine solution to sterilize them. Any nasal aspirator for baby should be cleaned and sterilized before, and after every use. You should also use latex gloves and a surgical mask to protect yourself from exposure to the viruses.
If you like like gadgets, you may want to purchase an electric model, or even a baby vac. Any electric nasal aspirator for baby provides nasal suction via a small, battery powered electric motor. A baby vac is a nasal aspirator for baby that removes mucous from your baby's nasal passages by creating the nasal suction using your vacuum cleaner (but with regulated power, so if you have a Kirby, Electrolux, or a Rainbow, don't fear. It will still work safely...). The baby vac has a little hose, misting nozzle, collection tank, and another hose to connect the baby vac device to your vacuum cleaner. The baby vac creates nasal suction more like a nasal aspirator for baby that a physician uses in the office.
Nothing in this article is to be taken as medical advice of any kind. It is for informational purposes only. If you feel your child has a health issue, seek the advice of a licensed physician.

Pirates Prospects
Changes at the Top — Impact of the Pirates' Draft
Wilbur Miller
The Pirates' 2010 draft signings changed the profile of their farm system in a hurry. Earlier in the season, the system had graduated several top prospects in Pedro Alvarez, Jose Tabata and Brad Lincoln, as well as Neil Walker, who's suddenly re-emerged as one of the organization's best young talents. We've each taken a look, in the form of top ten prospect lists, at how the system stands now.
Now that he's signed, Taillon is the consensus top prospect in the Pirates' system.
1. Jameson Taillon, RHP
2. Tony Sanchez, C
3. Bryan Morris, RHP
4. Starling Marte, OF
5. Stetson Allie, RHP
6. Rudy Owens, LHP
7. Chase d'Arnaud, SS
8. Jeff Locke, LHP
9. Zach Von Rosenberg, RHP
10. Andrew Lambo, OF
There hasn't been much of a change in my prospect order since my mid-season top 30, although that list was a month ago, which doesn't leave much time for significant changes. The one change is the addition of Andrew Lambo to the top ten. Lambo is young and talented, and I think he still has the chance to live up to his potential, or at the least be a decent starter in the majors. Despite this addition, the one thing this system lacked was an impact prospect.
My top ten list has some potentially above-average starters in the majors. It's got some very young players who have a shot at taking the jump to being an elite prospect. What it lacked before the draft was a prospect like Pedro Alvarez, who was almost a guaranteed impact player. Jameson Taillon and Stetson Allie potentially give the Pirates two impact players at the top of their farm system.
There are no guarantees with prep pitchers, but with the stuff that Taillon and Allie possess, you can pretty much assume that if they make it to the majors, they will make it in a big way. Taillon is by far the top prospect in the system, and could end up a top 20 prospect heading in to the 2011 season. I have Allie in the top five right now, but he's not at the top mostly because he's not as polished as Taillon, and there's a chance he could end up as a closer in the majors (and if he does, it could likely be the Joakim Soria type).
The biggest impact the addition of Taillon and Allie had was the pressure taken off the other young pitchers. Guys like Von Rosenberg were viewed as the crop that would bring the Pirates an ace. Now, the Pirates don't need an ace from that group, and any top of the rotation pitcher that emerges is a huge bonus.
As for the rest of the 2010 draft class, guys I would consider in my top 30 prospects are: Mel Rojas, Jr., Nick Kingham, Drew Maggi, Matt Curry, and Jared Lakind. Rojas, Jr. would be the only player who could contend in the top 15. I haven't made any official top 30 lists, so off the top of my head I'd say the others would fall in to the 20-30 range at this point, at least until they do something to stand out from other similar players in the Pirates' system.
1. Jameson Taillon, RHP. He's that hard-to-find potential true #1 that the Pirates have lacked for years.
2. Starling Marte, OF. True 5 tool player.
3. Bryan Morris, RHP. Nice turn around season for him. I blame recent "struggles" on extra workload this year.
4. Rudy Owens, LHP. Proving last year was no fluke, he can flat out pitch.
5. Tony Sanchez, C. Injury concerns, missed time dropped him on the list.
6. Jeff Locke, LHP. Finally producing numbers people expected from him, great K/BB ratio.
7. Stetson Allie, RHP. Could leap frog up this list next year.
8. Zack Von Rosenberg, RHP. Solid season after slow start. Lack of K's and high velocity keep him lower.
9. Justin Wilson, LHP. His incredible movement on pitches actually works against him, as he can't always control his stuff.
10. Andrew Lambo, OF. Youth and potential earned him the last spot. He's looked real good so far.
Honorable mentions: Mel Rojas, JR, OF; Colton Cain, LHP; Nate Adcock, RHP; Exicardo Cayonez, OF, are all guys whom I considered for the 10th spot.
The goal of any minor league system is not the individual teams' wins and losses. It is to develop the players within the system and provide a pipeline of young talent to the majors. In 2010, the Pirates minor league system has done exactly that with Pedro Alvarez, Jose Tabata, Brad Lincoln (all pre-season Pirate Top 10 players) and Neil Walker all contributing to the major league team and exhausting their prospect eligibility.
As a result, the Pirates' Top 10 was left with some noticeable voids at mid-season. This caused some short-sighted national services, bloggers, and fans to wring their hands about the state of the Pirates' Minor League system.
The blood transfusion arrived on August 16th in the form of Jameson Taillon and Stetson Allie. The 2010 draft, in general, should contribute at least 2-3 other players to the revamped Top 30 of the Pirates this offseason. But Taillon and Allie are the sizzle to this steak.
Here is my current, revised Top 10 for the Pirates. The number in parentheses is the player's 2011-season age as of July 1, 2011. I also have included a projected starting level for that player.
1. Jameson Taillon RHP (19, SS/A) — Think of him as the Pedro Alvarez of Pirate pitching prospects. If the Pirates are ever going to truly thrive and contend, it will be on his right arm. Quite simply, I can not remember a pitching prospect with the Pirates with this much hype and pressure on him.
2. Bryan Morris RHP (24, AAA) — Morris's ascent to the majors has hit a small bump in AA, but I attribute a lot of that to being out of gas. His stuff (92-94 FB, curve, changeup) will play at the majors and he should be a low end #2 or high end #3 starting in June 2011.
3. Starling Marte OF (22, AA) — The first of two injury-afflicted players this season. When I see video of Marte hit, throw, and run, the first words that pop in my head are "lightning bolt". He seems like pure energy on the field with a cannon of an arm in RF. The power has not developed and may be hampered in 2011 by the recovery from the hamate bone removal, but his other 4 tools are there on display.
4. Tony Sanchez C (23, AA) — By this time, Sanchez was supposed to be in AA, playing great defense and hitting the cover off the ball. But a mysterious shoulder injury that affected his throwing and getting his melon caved in by a fastball has ruined his season. I am slightly concerned about a catcher with a suspected shoulder problem, which is why he is at #4.
5. Rudy Owens LHP (23, AAA) — I'm a big proponent of "performance matters, not just potential" so the ever-consistent Rudy Owens gets this spot. Owens will be in the majors in 2011 and he should be a cross between Maholm and Duke. That sounds bad, but both of those guys at times have been quality pitchers. Owens is on the precipice of the majors and has never had an injury history.
6. Stetson Allie RHP (20, SS/A) — Let me just state that I love the Allie pick, but the name "Colt Griffin" has echoed in my head since draft day. Griffin was another 100-mph thrower who never became a pitcher for the Royals. I want to see some pitchability from Allie, even if he has to tone it down to 95-96 on the FB. Just as another asterisk, he will already be 20 by the start of next season.
7. Jeff Locke LHP (23, AAA) — Everything tells me that Locke's upside is greater than Owens' and that I should flip flop them, but I can't get Owens' consistency out of my head. I think Locke has been lost in the wash of Morris, Owens, and Wilson to an extent this year. Locke may not make the majors next year as they seem to be moving him slower than the others, but of the AAA guys mentioned here he could be the best.
8. Colton Cain LHP (20, A) — I love lefties that can gas it. I watch David Price and start to drool. I'm not comparing Cain to Price, but if he can wing it in there at 95-96 from the left hand side, that is a huge advantage for the Pirates. Cain has commanded his fastball well this year in the proving grounds known as rookie ball and short season. I think with his back injury behind him next year, they will take the gloves off Cain in 2011 and let him shine.
9. Chase d'Arnaud SS/2B (24, AAA) — I still believe. d'Arnaud's plate discipline has remained solid this year, even with his batting average suffering mightily in the .240 – .250 range all year. He is still stealing bases effectively and is at least competent at both SS and 2B. I admit that there is a talent tier between Cain and d'Arnaud on my list.
10. Justin Wilson LHP (23, AAA) — I will put forth that I'm not the biggest Wilson believer out there, but his season in 2010 has to make me at least consider him as a possibility to start in the majors. Ultimately, he may be a reliever due to his spotty control numbers at times.
As for other 2010 draftees that could make a revised Top 30, I would say Nick Kingham for sure (around 15'ish for me) and possibly Mel Rojas, Jr. (around the low 20's). Matt Curry would make it for me (low 20's as well), but some may ding him for being a senior in the New York Penn League, even though he is only 21 in 2010.
Due to injuries and some ineffectiveness in 2010, the Pirates' system has lost a little bit of its luster. But this draft, especially Taillon and Allie, has bolstered this system and provides more hope for the long-suffering Pirate fans, especially on the pitching side.
7. Andrew Lambo, OF
8. Zack Von Rosenberg, RHP
10. Mel Rojas, Jr., OF
The signings of Taillon and Allie, and the breakout season by Morris, make up for the loss of Alvarez, Tabata and Lincoln from the top of the list. It's not easy for a system to graduate several of its top talents without a sudden drop-off. And Taillon gives the system a legitimate, marquee prospect. Adding three players from this draft leaves a top ten, in my view, made up entirely of players who have a good chance to be major league regulars or rotation starters, at the least. It's a far cry from the old Littlefield days when the team's top prospect lists would be littered with players who profiled as relievers or utility players.
Aside from the changes among the team's top prospects, a number of other players from this draft would likely make a Pirates' top thirty list. Certainly such a list would include RHPs Nick Kingham and Tyler Waldron, SS Drew Maggi, 1B Matt Curry and OF Dan Grovatt. RHP Ryan Hafner and 1B Jared Lakind could also work their way in once they've had a chance to show something on the field.

First Buccos memory is Sid Bream scoring….have known nothing but losing and I do not foresee this ending soon. I like the Taillon and Allie picks, but pitching is nothing without scoring runs. This year will prove fruitless without the number one pick i.e. Rendon.
I know that you win titles with pitching , but where are the bats. The Bucs farm system has no power what so ever. Moss is in AAA with about 20 HR but he is not a prospect anymore. It's beginning to look like the Pirates will get the number 1 overall in the draft next year and there is 3B Anthony Rendon who is a beast at the plate. Rendon and Pedro Alvarez would be quite the duo. The Pirates have to find another bat or two to stick in their everyday line-up next year or it will be another painful season.

Five ringers present, though Carroll did not ring: Anne, Carroll, Jody, Nancy, Thomas.
The question was raised: is raising a matter of strength, or of knack, or of both? I think it's primarily knack, since strength without knack gets you nowhere but one sees small ringers raising bells with no apparent effort.
Anne raised and lowered several bells several times.
Jody raised and lowered several bells.
Nancy raised and lowered, and worked on ringing form: right hand on left at the bottom of the handstroke!
Lowered the bells in no particular pattern.
The dimensions of the planned rain awning are more exactly known now.
Since the awning will be suspended above the bells, well above the height at which the walls are vertical and measurements can be taken directly, it has taken some time and experiment to determine the shape and dimensions of the space it will occupy and the awning itself.
The ropes that will reinforce the edges and the long diagonal of the awning have been rigged into their planned dimensions and hoisted up to their eventual location, and this has helped determine the size of the space and the size of the awning to cover it.
It appears that the awning should occupy a space 122″ square. This should cover the area through which water is dripping. This square begins about 64″ above the ledge, or 144″ (12′) above the ringing chamber floor.
However the awning itself will not be square. To direct water down off the awning, it will be lofted with three corners 64″ above the ledge and the fourth, on the north-west, 16″ above the ledge, resulting in a shape with a diagonal crease from SE to NW. As a result, its two horizontal sides will be 122″ long and its slanting sides will be about 127½" long. None of its corners will be right angles.
The bottom diagram shows views of the awning from eight directions, at awning height (it would be very difficult to actually get to that viewpoint in the bell chamber). The top of the awning is shown light-colored, the bottom dark-colored.
Six ringers: Barbara, Eoin, Jody, Judy, Marguerite, Thomas.
Rounds on 234567, then 123456.
Whole Pulls on 123456: pull off, handstroke, backstroke, stand. Barbara and Eoin alternated on the 5 and 6. Many of the whole pulls were quite good, and the last one was just about perfect and everyone stood immediately.
Plain Hunt on Four with two covers. Barbara and Eoin alternated on the 5 and 6, and the rest of the band rotated around on the front four.
Barbara and Eoin raised the 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, and worked on ringing the heavy bells.
Left wrist angled to align the grip on sally or rope vertically, or left fingers adjusted to accomplish the same goal.
All ten fingers around the sally.
The tail always on the ringer's side of the sally.
Fast follow-through after the release, both hands.
Hands stay in the plane of the rope.
Right hand on left for the pickup.
Wrists stay aligned in the plane of the rope.
No wrist twist or sideways hand movement during the follow-through, so that the loop of rope does not swing out to one side and then the other.
Vertical motion, no throwing out; rotate the wrists at whatever speed keeps the flow of the rope vertical above the hands and bellying out below the hands.
While this is a long list, they are interrelated so that making just a few basic improvements will wrap up all of them.
Carroll raised and lowered the 2 to the first coil.
Next class for Carroll and Nancy is Th 31 May.
Four ringers: Jim, Jody, Judy, Marguerite. Marguerite ran the ringing.
A potential new ringer, Melanie, visited.
Four ringers: Barbara, Eoin, Nancy, Thomas.
Rang up. Barbara raised two bells.
Whole Pulls (pull off, ring two blows, stand). Some of them were quite good, in terms of even striking and immediate standing.
Rang down. Nancy lowered two bells.

Royals, 1B Carlos Santana agree to $17.5M,. 2-year deal
MLB Kansas City
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)The Kansas City Royals and first baseman Carlos Santana have agreed to a $17.5 million, two-year contract that plugs one of their biggest offensive holes while providing some clubhouse leadership for a rebuilding club.
The 34-year-old Santana was an All-Star two years ago in Cleveland, when he hit a career-best .281 with 34 homers and 93 RBIs. But he slid to .199 with eight homers and 30 RBIs while playing 60 games during the shortened 2020 season, resulting in the Indians declining his $17.5 million option for the upcoming season.
He gets $7 million next season and $10.5 million in 2022, and his salary would escalate by $250,000 each time he becomes an All-Star or wins a Gold Glove or Silver Slugger.
Santana could earn $250,000 in performance bonuses next year: $25,000 for 300 plate appearances and each additional 25 through 525. He could earn $750,000 in performance bonuses for 2022: $75,000 for 300 plate appearances and each additional 25 through 525.
The Royals were in the middle with a .244 team average last season, but they hit just 68 home runs and were tied with – coincidentally – the Indians for the sixth-worst scoring offense in the majors.
"One of our objectives this offseason was to add a middle-of-the-order bat, someone that would blend in well with our current group, make us a lot better," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. "Carlos certainly does that."
Santana should fill both an offensive need and defensive hold for the Royals. They had been toying with the possibility of moving Hunter Dozier to first base, but that would merely create another vacancy at third base and in the outfield, where they already have one to plug following the retirement of left-fielder Alex Gordon.
"He was one of the primary targets for us when we began to make offseason plans," Moore said. "You know, once we began our season, we started talking mid-to-late July (about) players that would potentially fit for us. Carlos's name was at the forefront of that based on the opportunity that we perceived that would perhaps present itself for us – middle of the order, switch hitter, highly professional. Winning-type player."
The Royals are very familiar with Santana from his time in the AL Central. He hit 216 homers with 710 RBIs during 10 seasons with the Indians, and he's been durable in playing at least 143 games every season but his rookie year and this past season, when he still suited up for every game for Cleveland.
Another bonus? The Royals won't have him in the other dugout anymore. Santana has hit .288 with 31 homers and 93 RBIs in 151 career games against them, the best of any team in the division.
The Royals also had the inside track on negotiations because Rene Francisco, their vice president and assistant GM, signed Santana as an amateur free agent when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers in August 2014.
"That made the start-up of the conversation go extremely well," Moore said.
For years one of the quietest teams in free agency, the Royals have been on an early spending spree under new owner John Sherman. Relief pitcher Mike Minor signed an $18 million, two-year deal and outfielder Michael Taylor a $1.75 million deal for next season, and nearly all their arbitration-eligible players are under contract.
That includes an $8.05 million contract for slugger Jorge Soler and a $3.35 million deal for staff ace Brad Keller.
"I've said many times, `Free agency is a flawed way to build your team,"' Moore said. "That's why this offseason we've tried to do it from the top down. We've tried to add some guys that had a little more impact. Two-year deals, we have a little more flexibility in 2022 than we have in 2021, just because of the economics of the game, but financially we're in a position to add a little more money, a little more flexibility in the payroll."

Turkey proposes free movement of workers with Kazakhstan
By Georgi Gotev | EURACTIV.com
Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev (C-L) and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (C-R) arrive for the opening ceremony of the G20 Summit. Hangzhou, China, September 2016. [Pool/EPA]
Central Asian countries are exploring forms of integration resembling those of the European Union, the latest one being the establishment of free movement of people and workers between Turkey and Kazakhstan.
The Astana Times reported on Thursday (17 August) that Turkish Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci had proposed during a recent Kazakh-Turkish business forum "a visa-free regime for migrant workers" between the two countries.
Turkey and Kazakhstan already have a visa-free regime, but the proposed step is to remove obstacles for nationals of the two countries seeking employment on each other's territory.
Zeybekci said both countries have been cooperating for a long time. Turkey has invested about $2 billion in the Kazakhstan economy and this could be increased to $10 billion, he said.
Trade between the two countries is mainly based on natural energy resources but Turkish companies are ready to supply textile products and some food products to Kazakhstan, the minister stressed. However, Kazakhstan and Turkey first need to review their trade agreement and remove some barriers, such as for the free movement of workers, he said.
High level visit
Zeybekci announced 9-10 September as the date of the official visit to Kazakhstan of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. It has also been reported that the Turkish president intends to take part in the upcoming Organisation for Islamic Cooperation Summit on Science and Technology as part of his visit to Astana.
Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Turkey has been trying to implement comprehensive policies on the newly independent so-called 'Turkic' states of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
According to researcher Özge Nur Öğütcü from the Center for Eurasian Studies, Turkey has invested a lot in regional cooperation involving the Turkic states. The 1990s and early 2000s saw the emergence of new regional organisations such the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA), which was first proposed by Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev, and the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO).
Turkey's initiative to include Turkic states in the ECO as one of the founding members and its participation in the CICA and SCO enabled Turkey to observe agendas of regional actors and engage with Turkic states under the umbrella of regional formations, Öğütcü wrote.
Other important institutions are the International Organization of Turkic Culture (TURKSOY) established in 1993, the Parliamentary Assembly of Turkic-Speaking Countries (TURKPA), set up in 2008, the International Turkic Academy established in 2010, the Turkic Culture and Heritage Foundation formed in 2012, and the Turkic Business Council, whose founding document was signed in 2011.
Today, Turkic states host Turkish universities such as Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University in Kyrgyzstan and Akhmet Yassawi University in Kazakhstan. The Yunus Emre Institutes for Turkish language education in Astana and Baku have been providing learning opportunities to young people.
Askar Turganbayev, a representative of Kazakhstan's Ministry of Culture and Sport at the International Organization of Turkic Culture (TURKSOY), said the Kazakh president is one of the most ardent supporters of the TURKSOY.
"Many initiatives of President Nazarbayev are related to the development of this organization," Turganbayev said.

Home RC News Amazon proposes drones only airspace to facilitate high-speed delivery
Amazon proposes drones only airspace to facilitate high-speed delivery
Amazon is proposing that a pristine slice of airspace above the world's cities and suburbs should be set aside for the deployment of high-speed aerial drones capable of flying robotically with virtually no human interference.
The retail giant has taken the next step in its ambition to deliver packages via drone within 30 minutes by setting out in greater detail than ever before its vision for the future of robotic flight. It envisages that within the next 10 years hundreds of thousands of small drones – not all of them Amazon's or devoted to delivery – will be tearing across the skies every day largely under their own automated control.
The company's aeronautics experts propose that a 200ft slab of air – located between 200ft and 400ft from the ground – should be segregated and reserved for state-of-the-art drones equipped with sophisticated communications and sensing equipment and flying at high speeds of 60 knots or more. A further 100ft of airspace – between 400ft and 500ft – would be declared a no-fly zone to act as a buffer between the drones and current conventional aircraft such as passenger and cargo planes, thus mitigating fears about the impact on manned flight or dangers posed to people on the ground.
Amazon's plan, unveiled on Tuesday at a Nasa UTM Convention at Nasa Ames in California, sets out an audacious model for the unleashing of robots above cities and towns across the globe. At the heart of the proposal is the idea that access to the new 200ft slice of airspace would only be granted to those drones equipped with technology that allowed them to fly safely and autonomously.
"The way we guarantee the greatest safety is by requiring that as the level of complexity of the airspace increases, so does the level of sophistication of the vehicle," said Gur Kimchi, vice-president and co-founder of Amazon's delivery-by-drone project, Prime Air, who addressed the Nasa meeting. "Under our proposal everybody has to be collaborative – vehicles must be able to talk to each other and avoid each other as the airspace gets denser at low altitudes."
At present there are about 85,000 conventional flights a day in the US involving commercial, cargo, military and general aircraft. Amazon believes that within a decade that number will be dwarfed in the US and globally by unmanned drones flying at low altitudes.
In two new position papers, the online retail company lays down the architecture of a new airspace for drones. It calls for a "paradigm shift" that will allow hundreds of thousands of small unmanned aircraft to fly under their own technological steam without the current involvement of humans through air traffic control.
To realize that futuristic vision safely, Amazon sets out five capabilities that drones must meet if they are to be allowed to fly inside the new 200ft high-speed corridor. They must have:
Sophisticated GPS tracking that allows them to pinpoint their location in real-time and in relation to all other drones around them.
A reliable internet connection on-board that allows them to maintain real-time GPS data and awareness of other drones and obstacles.
Online flight planning that allows them to predict and communicate their flight path.
Communications equipment that allow them to "talk" and collaborate with other drones in the zone to ensure they avoid each other.
Sensor-based sense-and-avoid equipment that allows the drones to bypass all other drones and obstacles such as birds, buildings or electric cables.
Under this scenario, drones would take to the skies with virtually no human interaction at all. "We aim to have high levels of safe automation so that the only time intervention is needed is in emergency situations, national security crises and the like," Kimchi told the Guardian.
The image of the skies filling up with autonomous drones sounds like the script of a Hollywood sci-fi movie. But advances in GPS technology, sensors and internet-based communications are happening so rapidly that the concept is no longer in the realm of fantasy.
Before it is realized, however, pioneers like Amazon will have to assuage the doubts of privacy activists concerned about the impact on civil liberties and of government regulators worried about how flying robots would interact with manned aircraft. Amazon has been in a long-running tussle with the regulatory Federal Aviation Administration, which the company has accused of dragging its feet over drone innovation.
The other interested party that may take some convincing are amateur drone hobbyists and modellers. Under current rules in the US, they are allowed to fly their aircraft within line of sight up to 400ft as long as they stay away from airports and other out-of-bounds areas.
Under Amazon's proposals, by contrast, hobbyists would only be allowed to fly within the new 200ft-400ft corridor if their vehicles were equipped with the latest hyper-sophisticated gadgetry for autonomous flight. Otherwise, they would have their activities confined to geographically demarcated airfields in relatively unpopulated areas that would be set aside specifically for the purpose.
Brendan Schulman, who has been building and flying drones as a hobbyist for 20 years and is now a senior executive at the drone manufacturer DJI, said that by far the greatest use of unmanned aerial vehicles today was by amateurs. "That's currently by far the most common use of the technology, so before you disrupt their experience you want to think carefully about what slice of airspace would really be needed by these new technologies."
Kimchi said that Amazon did not envisage much change in the way modelers operate under the new proposal. "They will have low-risk areas in more rural areas where they can continue to fly safely to their heart's content."

Clan Diamon Shark
Diamond Shark
Pre‑RogueWar Allies
Pre‑RogueWar Foes
Star system Homeworld
Clan Diamond Shark, originally named Clan Sea Fox, was one of the first twenty Clans created by Nicholas Kerensky. Its willingness to change its own name exemplified the Clan's flexibility and progressive thinking - it was the only Clan which permitted universal suffrage - and helped make it one of the strongest and wealthiest during the Clans' history. Known derisively as the "Merchant Clan" by their jealous rivals, they nevertheless took great pride in their accomplishments and their direct contributions to the creation of the Clans. The Clan's original totem animal, the Sea Fox, was chosen for it by Kerensky for the honor it showed its prey before striking. The Clan then took as their new totem the Diamond Shark, which nearly wiped out the Sea Fox when it was introduced to the oceans of Strana Mechty, as a sign of respect to a superior predator.

Our Made From Scratch Mashed Potatoes are so easy to make you can even teach the children how to make them!
Clearly I'm a big fan of chicken. There are so many different ways to cook it, aren't there? I never get tired of it and maybe that's because it's so budget friendly!
This week's menu includes; Rotisserie Chicken, Salmon Patties, Taco Chicken & Black Bean Bake, Crockpot Ranch Chicken Sliders, Chef Salad, Cheeze-It Crusted Oven Baked Chicken Fingers and an easy home cooked Romantic Italian Dinner for Friday Date night in.
We might cheat and buy the Rotisserie Chicken from the grocery store but the Mashed Potatoes are made from scratch! Our Sunday menu includes Rotisserie Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans and Hawaiian rolls.
We'll be using the rest of the package of Hawaiian rolls for our dinner on Wednesday night.
Homemade mashed potatoes are definitely worth the extra effort.
Peel the potatoes and cut into chunks, rinse and drain.
Boil clean potatoes in saucepan until fork tender.
Drain potatoes and return to saucepan.
Mash with a handheld potato masher.
You can add a little more milk if they are too dry.
Place mashed potatoes in a pretty serving dish.
Taco Chicken and Black Bean Bake is a freezer meal which is nice to have on hand sometimes.
I'm going to cook enough chicken today so there is a little left over for our Chef Salad on Thursday.
Chef Salad with Crockpot Ranch Chicken from Wednesday and a few of our favorite salad ingredients like Cornbread Croutons and Sweet & Salty Candied Pecans.
My hubby and I enjoy re-creating this Romantic Italian Dinner from time to time. We keep the Italian Butter ingredients in the cabinet already made up. We like to keep frozen dinners on hand for just such an occasion as these Friday night dates at home!
What's your favorite frozen food to have on hand?
Cheeze It Crusted Oven Baked Chicken Fingers with Ranch Dip and potato chips.
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I shared recently that I've been craving these Biscuit Doughnuts. This is the week I'm making those babies!
My hubby says every week is a good week at our dinner table. I can never express enough how much it helps to make a Menu Plan. It's a stress reliever and a big help on the budget.
Mashed potatoes look delicious. Your meal plan looks yummy. Thank you for sharing with us at #HomeMattersParty. We would love to have again next week.
Shirley, it is so nice to have you on the Bloggers Pit Stop. Your menu is so delicious, I love mashed potato. What you say is true having a menu takes so much pain out of making meals.
All of your meals look scrumpus. You have a few of my personal favorites. Thank you for sharing at Snickerdoodle Create, Bake, & Make!
Shirley – you are right – menu planning is the way to go! And your menu for the week looks so yummy. Those mashed potatoes made me think of my Dad. He was the potato masher in my family and there is nothing like homemade mashed potatoes. Thanks for sharing with #overthemoon!

American drama television series "Chicago Fire" tells about the representatives of some of the most difficult and dangerous professions, such as firefighters, rescuers and paramedics. Every day they are in spite of any risk to their lives, for the sake of saving other people. However, such dedication to work very often leads to personal losses.
The main hero, Lieutenant Matthew Casey, commander of the fire department of the 51st branch of the city of Chicago, has got leadership qualities. He is a real professional at his job, who has not the best of times of his life. Matthew Casey has recently broken up with his girlfriend, and even lost his colleague and good friend Andy Darden. On this basis, he constantly conflicts with the lieutenant from the rescue team – Kelly Severide, because he blames him for Andy's death. The place of the deceased is taken by a newcomer who has a long way to go to become a real firefighter. And he is a person whom colleagues can rely on in the moments of the greatest danger. However, despite personal arguements, they continue to perform their work with dignity, and are always ready to come to each other's rescue …
Let's hope that the series Chicago Fire Season 6 will be at least as good as previous seasons, and perhaps, the authors will please us with an even more exciting storyline.

Sales have fallen further at supermarket chain Morrisons, the firm's third quarter results show.
Like-for-like sales were down 6.3% in the 13 weeks to November 2 as the grocer said it would take time for initiatives such as its Match and More scheme to benefit sales performance.
Morrisons is currently amidst a three-year restructuring plan which will see some 2,600 store management jobs shed from its workforce.
The plan is designed to generate £2bn of cash and £1bn of cost savings over three years.
The rollout of its convenience store concept M local continued with 12 openings. Morrisons said it was on target to open 60-70 of the stores by the end of the year.
Chief executive Dalton Philips said he was "encouraged by the further progress" the firm had made as underlying pre-tax profit forecasts were revised to between £335m-£365m, from previous estimates of between £325m-£375m.
Mr Philips said: "Morrisons is meeting the challenges created by a period of intense industry competition and structural change with quick and decisive action. I am encouraged by the further progress we have made, especially on a number of key operational measures, cash flow and costs.
"The launch of the Match and More card was another big move for Morrisons. We are the only supermarket that is price matching the discounters and the successful launch last month was a testament to the positive way our 120,000 colleagues are delivering innovation and embracing the changes at Morrisons.
Progress on debt reduction was said to be particularly encouraging, as end-of-year net debt was expected to be between £2.3bn-£2.4bn, £100m better than initial estimates.


Get the grip you need without breaking a sweat!
Tighten the Dimide Clamp With it's removable T-handle or use an impact wrench, ratchet and more!
Use the T-handle for lightweight jobs or break out an impact wrench for serious clamping force.
The T-handle includes a locking long nose plunger to allow for single-handed use.
T-handle not delivering enough force?
Our hardened 1/2 inch hex head allows for use with a ratchet, breaker bar, or even an impact wrench to deliver the load you want with ease.
Use provided 1/2 inch holes to hold a reaction bar while using a ratchet or breaker bar to deliver improved leverage.
Use holes for storage or additional uses such as our vise kit!
The Dimide Clamp's high strength steel jaws grip down on round or flat surfaces.
With two v-groove patterns, easily grip round stock, pipe, or plate.
High-strength hardened copper coated steel provides high durability and weld spatter resistance.
Designed and optimized by an Aerospace Structural Engineer with over 30 years of experience and today's most advanced tools.
Copper coated hardened high-strength chromoly steel with rolled threads delivers durability to stand up to your most demanding tasks.
The unique shape has been optimized using today's most advanced structural analysis tools.
Patented shear plate construction prevents twisting and provides rigid clamping.
Offset threads from pivot point prevent thread pinching due to bending at high loads.
Swaged on safety stop prevents the clamp from pinching fingers and provides a 1/2 inch female hex for the T-handle.
All this comes together to revolutionize the way you clamp down on parts.
Replace three or more clamps with one Dimide Clamp to reduce clutter and set-up time!
Stop trashing parts because of a clamp slipping.
Rapidly close weld gaps as you move around your work.
Effortlessly deliver 3-4x the clamp force with impact wrench compatility.
Two Dimide Clamp deliver more holding capacity than most machinists are getting with up to five clamps. This allows you to make larger cuts, increase productivity, and rest assured that your parts won't slip!
Know that your clamp is delivering the load you need.
Lastly, enjoy your work.... we certainly do!
Listen to what some of our customers have been saying about the Dimide Clamp.
"This is the fastest and strongest clamp I've ever used. Being able to use an air gun is great!"
"A faster and strong clamp"
"Effortlessly attain over 5,000 lbs of clamp load quickly and reliably"
"Strong C-Clamp gets to rated load fast"
"Clamp compatible with impact wrenches"
"These Dimide clamps provide plenty of clamping load to keep your work secure, whether you're welding, grinding, drilling, or sanding."
Keith Fenner uses the Dimide Clamp to lift up the back of his truck!
I purchased 2 5" clamps and the vice stand and proclaim this to be the best purchase for the welding shop I've made all year. I do need to warn prospective buyers, these things have legs and love to work. Every time I want to use one it has walked over to another welders booth and clamped itself onto their project. I have 8 12,000 lb. x 4" C-clamps that weight about 35 lbs. each and have a 1" screw with a square head. They are fat and lazy and never wander off, but rather than wrestle with those "Barbells" overhead, I will take the time to hunt down the Dimide clamps. Respect for the company also for excellent communication and fast service. Placed the order one night and got up the next morning to an e-mail from Emmet himself, not some automated reply, and he was addressing me like a real person communicating with a real person. I answered his e-mail and had an immediate reply, extremely cordial and respectful. Same as when the order shipped. Fantastic tools, made in the U.S.A. I will be buying more of these, but I'm going to use the 2 I have now to build a corral to keep them at home, now if I can just find those 2. I should comment on the versatility of the vise kit, which I combine with the "Fireball" welders squares. A huge time saver for weld positioners. I should have, and will be purchasing a 2nd vise kit to extend the capability.
Awesome clamp. I love all sorts of clamps and this one is one of my favorites. Very strong, very.
Just what I have been looking for. Your clamps are easy to use and preform outstanding. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.
These clamps are everything they claim to be. Nuf said.
These clamps are very well made and high quality. High clamp pressure and fast acting, love the features.
Clamps that are "Crushing it!"
The amount of clamping you can apply with an impact wrench and these clamps is amazing!
Utilizing an impact wrench for tightening and opening speeds up production. Provides easy two hand operation.
They do those amazing jobs that a basic clamp just cannot achieve.

In Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, an accessibility audit was organised by WAI and its partner, Samarthan, in order to analyse the water, sanitation and hygiene services at public toilets. The tool used for the audit was issued by Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, GoI. Ujjain was taken as a priority city as it is one of most important religious cities, receiving numerous floating populations as pilgrimages throughout the year.
With continuous efforts, the Municipal Corporation agreed to assist WAI and its partner in assessing the public toilets based on their accessibility. The meeting was attended by Commissioner, Additional Commissioner, Zonal Officers, Health Officer, and Engineers.
The audit revealed that 42 out of 56 toilets did not have any kind of arrangement for the differently abled. Interestingly, it was also found that 90% of them had scope to convert into an accessible toilet. Thus, correct designs of each component were shared and discussed for appropriate actions.
WaterAid to prepare a toilet wise profile, so that the required specific actions can be planned.
An IEC pocket booklet to be designed by WAI comprising the norms and different accessible components with measurement specifications.
The Zonal Level Engineers to provide advisory support in making the first two toilets – accessible in every zone so that it can be replicated later. Also, he advised that it would be better organise a demonstration to convert the existing toilet into accessible ones.
Instructed Engineering Team to factor accessibility while planning and budgeting every new public toilet in future.
Sought support in assessing these toilets, also based on revenue generation and scope of self-sustaining finance mechanism.
The issue of accessibility turned out to be a key focus area for the commissioner as well as concerned officials, as it went beyond toilet construction. The additional Commissioner also expressed interest in making the Municipal offices accessible for all.

The circle of sustainable water use
ENPOM
In the post-war years, the Eerbeek stream (effectively the local spring) served as the discharge channel for the then five paper mills in Eerbeek. Baron De Vos van Steenwijk, an agricultural engineer in Wageningen, came up with the idea of using the material (wood fibres) suspended in the stream water to supply organic material to improve the poor soils on the Veluwe. This idea led to the establishment of the ENPOM (Eerste Nederlandse Pulp Ontginnings Maatschappij – First Dutch Pulp Extraction Company). Although good for the stream water, the initiative by the man who became known as the 'Mud Baron' ended in bankruptcy, in 1960. Because even in this period the increased levels of pollution in the stream were no longer viewed as acceptable, the paper mills decided to continue the ENPOM business under the name Industriewater Eerbeek B.V.
The ENPOM sewage fileds shortly following the takeover of the company under the name Industriewater Eerbeek.
From that moment onwards, the water treatment installation developed rapidly. In 1963 a system of sewer pipelines was installed that ran kilometres from the paper mills to IWE, thereby entirely bypassing the stream as far as the IWE plant. This was followed in 1976 by an 8 km-long pipeline from IWE, direct to the river Ijssel. As a result, no more wastewater was discharged into the stream. The Pollution of Surface Waters Act (1970) led to the introduction of biological treatment at the plant in 1980. At this time, biological water treatment was still a pioneering technique.
The production volume at the three still operating paper mills rose steadily, imposing ever growing demands on the treatment installation. With the introduction of the then very innovative anaerobic pre-purification technique, in 1985, these challenges were overcome. From that time onwards, in essence, the costs of treating wastewater no longer rose, and investments could be earned back due to lower energy costs and the generation of energy from biogas. Over the past few years, IWE has succeeded in further improving its performance, by introducing new innovative techniques. As a result, contaminated water is now 99.8% cleaned, the process generates a net energy surplus, and the raw materials cycle is now practically closed.

BBF Awards $3.2M in Round 1
Contact: Jud Fisher
BBF Grants Promote Innovation in Healthcare Training and in Local Schools
MUNCIE—Ball Brothers Foundation (BBF) awarded more than $3.2 million in grants to over 30 organizations in its first grantmaking round of the year. The grants were approved during the foundation's board meeting in May.
The largest grant awarded by the foundation—a $1 million grant to Ivy Tech Community College—will support the transformation of Ivy Tech's facilities in Muncie. BBF's grant is specifically targeted toward renovations to the fourth floor of the Fisher building in downtown Muncie which will be home to the new "Ball Brothers Foundation School of Nursing." Nursing students will benefit from state-of-the-art simulation and training labs which will also allow the very popular and competitive nursing program to grow enrollment. BBF's grant provides part of a local match needed by Ivy Tech to secure $38 million in funding from the State of Indiana.
"Over the past several years, BBF has been working with local organizations to re-imagine medical training. Our region has some of the biggest and best training programs in the state for future doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers. While medicine itself has made tremendous advances in the past decades, medical training has not always kept pace. In our community, however, organizations are piloting groundbreaking models that have tremendous potential to transform healthcare education and service delivery. We are proud to support their work," shared Jud Fisher, President and COO of Ball Brothers Foundation. "When Ivy Tech approached us with the opportunity to support a state-of-the-art facility for training future nurses in downtown Muncie, it was clear to us that this would be a win-win for the entire community."
Three other grants were also awarded to support innovations in healthcare training, including:
Ball State University: Operation of the New 'Healthy Lifestyle Center' which provides a range of complimentary services from dieticians, counseling psychologists, speech pathologists, and other healthcare professionals, $100,000
IU School of Medicine-Muncie: Enhancements to physician training including expansion of team-building programming, development of a new standardized 'mock' patient program for future doctors in Muncie which will help them to refine clinical and communication skills, and creation of an advisory board, $50,000
IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital Foundation: Creation of a "Dedicated Nursing Education Unit" which will partner nursing students from Ivy Tech with mentor nurses at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital for one-on-one training, $50,000
Additional grants totaling $450,000 were awarded to public schools across Delaware County to support improvements and innovations at the district and school levels. "Since 2014, BBF has awarded $2 million to two public schools in our city's core—Muncie Community Schools and Burris Laboratory School. Funding has been targeted toward needs that tight district budgets cannot always adequately support—new course development, technology, and professional development for teachers, just to name a few," shared Fisher. "This year, we extended our reach, awarding grants to each of the public schools in the county that applied for funding. We are pleased that BBF grants will be able to provide students and teachers across Delaware County with new opportunities and that dollars can support district-level enhancements as well."
Awarded grants included:
Burris Laboratory School: Curriculum innovations, marketing/branding, technology enhancements, school safety improvements, $150,000
Cowan Community Schools: Playground upgrade, technology enhancements, school safety improvements, $50,000
Daleville Community Schools: School library transformation including technology upgrades, media studio, STEM maker space, $50,000

Ball State University Foundation: Emens Auditorium Outdoor Terrace, $125,000
Muncie Arts and Culture Council: Capacity Building, $10,000
Music for All: 2018 Summer Symposium, $30,000
Grants to two environmentally focused organizations will help to preserve and protect land and waterways in East Central Indiana while helping both organizations build organizational capacity:
Grant County Soil & Water Conservation District: Upper Mississinewa/ECI Headwater Partnership, $25,000
