Welcome to the National Nuclear Security Administration's National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Reading Room. This site serves as a focal point for NNSA NEPA implementation and will contain information about past and current NNSA NEPA actions as well as other resources for NEPA practitioners and members of the public.
NNSA NEPA environmental assessments (EAs) and environmental impact statements (EISs).
NNSA NEPA categorical exclusion (CX) determinations.
The NNSA is making a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) available for public comment.
The Department of Energy (DOE), National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has prepared this Draft EA to analyze (a) the proposed construction and operation of a 10 megawatts (MW) ground-mounted solar photovoltaic system (PV) and associated power transmission line within an existing power transmission line corridor and (b) the No Action Alternative of not constructing the PV. The proposed PV location is on approximately 55 - 60 acres of which around 50 acres are within a previously disturbed area that was used as a borrow pit at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), on DOE owned property within Los Alamos County, New Mexico.
This Draft EA has been made available for a 30-day review and comment period via distribution to the same recipients of the notification letter; to the LANL Public Reading Room, located at 94 Cities of Gold Road, Pojoaque, New Mexico (505 667-0216); to the LANL GovDelivery listserve; and to the DOE National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) website: https://www.energy.gov/nepa/doe-environmental-assessments.
All comments on the Draft EA provided within the comment period, beginning on the date of the public notice of availability, will be considered by NNSA during preparation of the Final EA. The Final EA will be made available at the NNSA NEPA Reading Room and the DOE NEPA website (addresses above).
The Draft EA is available at this link.
For more information about NNSA NEPA documents, please contact NEPA@nnsa.doe.gov.
Environmental Assessment (EA) - A concise public document that a Federal agency prepares under NEPA to provide sufficient evidence and analysis to determine whether a proposed agency action would require preparation of an environmental impact statement or a finding of no significant impact.
Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) - The detailed written statement that is required by section 102(2)(C) of NEPA for a proposed major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) - A public document issued by a Federal agency briefly presenting the reasons why an action for which the agency has prepared an environmental assessment will not have a significant effect on the human environment and, therefore, will not require preparation of an environmental impact statement.
A Floodplain and Wetland Assessment is an evaluation that DOE prepares under DOE Floodplain and Wetland Environmental Review Requirements (10 CFR Part 1022) consisting of a description of a proposed action, a discussion of its potential effects on the floodplain or wetland, and consideration of alternatives. A Floodplain Statement of Findings is a brief document issued pursuant to 10 CFR 1022.14 that describes the results of the floodplain assessment.
A Mitigation Action Plan is a document DOE prepares in accordance with DOE NEPA regulations (10 CFR 1021.331) that describes the plan for implementing commitments made in a DOE environmental impact statement and its associated record of decision, or, when appropriate, an EA or FONSI, to mitigate adverse environmental impacts associated with an action.
Notice of Availability (NOA) is a formal notice, published in the Federal Register, that announces the issuance and public availability of a draft or final EIS. The Environmental Protection Agency NOA is the official public notification of an EIS; a DOE NOA is an optional notice used to provide information to the public.
Notice of Intent (NOI) is a formal announcement of intent to prepare an EIS as defined in Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) NEPA regulations (40 CFR 1508.22). DOE publishes NOIs in the Federal Register in accordance with DOE NEPA regulations (10 CFR 1021.311). On rare occasions we may produce and issue an Advance NOI which means a formal public notice of DOE's intent to prepare an EIS, which is published in advance of an NOI in order to facilitate public involvement in the NEPA process.
Programmatic NEPA document means a broad-scope EIS (PEIS) or EA that identifies and assesses the environmental impacts of a DOE program; it may also refer to an associated NEPA document, such as an NOI, ROD, or FONSI.
A Record of Decision (ROD) is a concise public document that records a Federal agency's decision(s) concerning a proposed action for which the agency has prepared an environmental impact statement (See CEQ and DOE NEPA regulations at 40 CFR 1505.2 and 10 CFR 1021.315, respectively).
Scoping means the process described at 40 CFR 1501.7; "public scoping process" refers to that portion of the scoping process where the public is invited to participate, as described at 40 CFR 1501.7 (a)(1) and (b)(4).
Site-wide NEPA document means a broad-scope EIS (SWEIS) or EA that is programmatic in nature and identifies and assesses the individual and cumulative impacts of ongoing and reasonably foreseeable future actions at a DOE site; Site-wide may also refer to an associated NEPA document, such as an NOI, ROD, or FONSI.
Supplement Analysis (SA) means a DOE document used to determine whether a supplemental EIS should be prepared pursuant to 40 CFR 1502.9(c), or to support a decision to prepare a new EIS.
Supplemental EIS (SEIS) means an EIS prepared to supplement a prior EIS as provided at 40 CFR 1502.9(c).

Q: How would I write this code as a 'try-except' block instead of several if-blocks? I have written a django FormView to handle a formset, and I've recently been introduced to 'try except' syntax. I have the feeling that my code would be DRYer if I used a 'try except' block, but I'm having writers block. How would you re-format this block as a 'try except'?
    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        formset_post = self.formset(request.POST)
        if 'url_fk_id' not in kwargs:
            kwargs['url_fk_id'] = self.kwargs.get(self.url_fk_id)

        form_fk_id = get_object_or_404(models.Fk, id=kwargs['url_fk_id'])

        for form in formset_post:
            form.instance.fk_id = form_fk_id
            list_of_primary_entries = []
            if form.instance.entry_is_primary is True:
                if True not in Entry.objects.filter(fk_id=form_fk_id).values()
                    pass
                else:
                    raise forms.ValidationError("there can only be one primary entry")
                list_of_primary_entries.append('4')
        if len(list_of_primary_entries) > 1:
            raise forms.ValidationError("there can only be one primary entry")
        if formset_post.is_valid():
            for form in formset_post:
                form.save()
        else:
            return self.form_invalid(formset_post)
        print(self.request.POST)
        return super().post(self, request, *args, **kwargs)

A: I don't think your code here gains anything from try/except blocks. Try/except blocks are a good shorthand for skipping some checks and just seeing what happens. For example:
inum = input('Enter a number:')
if inum.isdigit():   # check if inputted string looks valid BEFORE trying to convert
    num = int(inum)
else:
    num = -1
    print('Oops!')

as compared to:
inum = input('Enter a number')
try:       # just try to convert it and see what happens!
    num = int(inum)
except:
    num = -1
    print('Oops!)

Also, try/except blocks are meant to catch thrown exceptions to allow your code to keep running even if an error occurs, to be more robust. You may want to throw questionable calls that can fail inside a try/except block. For example, you might want:
    form_fk_id = get_object_or_404(models.Fk, id=kwargs['url_fk_id'])

to be:
try:
    form_fk_id = get_object_or_404(models.Fk, id=kwargs['url_fk_id'])
except:
    form_fk_id = None
    print('Object not available right now')

and then handle the case where the call to get_object_or_404() fails.  This can be helpful if you're making an Internet call or accessing some external resource that is not currently available. It's better for your code to catch it and handle it rather than failing. For example, if you're trying to access an external resource, if the call fails, you may want to try again after a certain amount of time, etc...
The above is just my two cents. Opinions vary... But I do find that good error checking is always good. It makes your code more robust and more readable.

Last year around this time, I enjoyed a day of shopping and visiting with my mom and aunt in Nashville. We walked through the Gaylord Opryland Resort, where I was astonished at the amount of Christmas lights that were on display. We spent hours catching up, admiring the various holiday scenes, and even enjoyed a few martinis at the Jack Daniels Grill. It provided the perfect spot for a girlfriend afternoon or even a family vacation for a few days. The horse drawn carriages in front of the resort provide the setting to make this a romantic escape, as well.
The Gaylord Opryland Hotel's Winter Wonderland will be one of the holiday "hot spots" for families and friends alike this year. Held in the resort's Ryman Exhibit Halls, this beautiful wonderland features many activities for "kids" of all ages, like Photos with Santa, Treasures for the Holidays Crafts Show, Hall of Trees display and a charity fund-raiser, a Christmas train and the return of Gingerbread Corner with gingerbread decorating classes taught by elves. Winter Wonderland begins Nov. 23, 2008.
Gaylord Opryland is the only place in the world where the beloved Christmas story, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr. Seuss, is being retold in frozen form. ICE! featuring How the Grinch Stole Christmas! will run in its final year Nov. 14, 2008, until Jan. 4, 2009. Starting at the Grinch's frozen mountaintop lair, to the 20-foot high slides for kids and built-in photo opportunity stops, down to the picturesque Who-ville, complete with feasting Whos, ICE! featuring the How The Grinch Stole Christmas!will make even the coldest of hearts grow three sizes.
Don't miss your chance to be a part of the 25th anniversary of A Country Christmas and ICE! Vacation packages are available with two- to three-night options.

text: 1663 (30th January 1890) Minutes of Proceedings of the Municipal Commissioners at an ordinary meeting held on Thursday, the 30th January 1890. Present Colonel S Dunlop C.M.G. President Hon'ble Major McCallum R.E. C.M.G. R.W. Maxwell Esq. Acting J.G.P. Tan Jiak Kim Esq Lim Eng Keng Esq. J. R. Cuthbertson Esq Tan Beng Wan Esq. F.G. Davidson Esq. Absent Th. Sohst Esq. C.E. Crane Esq. (Minutes confirmed) The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. (Major McCallum draws Board's attention to letter sent to Govt. re 'Pension' or 'Grant' Rules. Major McCallum moves and Mr Cuthbertson seconded resolution) Major McCallum drew attention to the wording of the letter, addressed to Government, on the subject of the framing of rules in terms of Section 45 of the Municipal Ordinance. In his opinion, the letter was not in accordance with this resolution passed by the Board at the previous meeting, inasmuch as the term "superannuation allowance" had been used which was synonymous to provision, whereas the Commissioners were opposed entirely to a system of pensions and merely asked that they be empowered to pay grants out of the Municipal Fund to deserving officers on their retirement. Mr Cuthbertson concurred in these views. The President contended that the letter fully expressed the wishes and intentions of the Commissioners and referred to that portion thereof, which stated that the Commissioners were opposed to any general system of pensions. Messrs Davidson & Maxwell expressed themselves as being of the same opinion. After some further discussion, Major McCallum moved and Mr Cuthbertson seconded "That the President's letter of 17th January be withdrawn and that a copy of the resolution passed at the meeting on the 8th instant be sent to Government, with a request that the necessary action may be taken thereon." The President proposed as 1664 (President proposes an amendment) an amendment "That a copy of the original resolution be forwarded to Government as a supplement to the letter already addressed to them." The amendment was seconded by Mr Davidson and on being put to the meeting, was carried by a majority of 5 to 2. Mr Eng Keng not voting. (Loan of $400,000) Read letter from the Hon. the Col. Secretary, Meml. 655/90, dated 27th January, regarding the loan of $400,000, which the Municipal Commissioners propose to raise, and requesting to be furnished with full details of the estimated expenditure on the works to be undertaken at once, viz. Town Drainage ................ $ 90,000 Municipal Abattoir ............. 47,500 Fittings for ditto Public Latrines Main to Tanglin Barracks .... 15,000 (Re Sinking Fund) Further if any reason exists why the Sinking Fund should be fixed at a higher rate than 1 per cent, which is the rate for existing loans. Resolved that the particulars asked for be furnished as far as practicable and that with respect to the Sinking Fund, the Government be informed that the Commissioners had fixed a rate of 5 per cent with a view to making provision for the repayment of the loan within a reasonable term of years and so render the stock more popular with the public. (Report of Committee on Hydrophobia) Read letter from the Hon. the Col. Secretary, P.W.D. 13969/89, dated 28th January, forwarding copy of the report of the Committee on hydrophobia, & requesting the Commissioners to furnish the Government with any remarks they may wish to make on the subject. Major McCallum proposed that a reply be forwarded, stating that the Municipal Commissioners will be glad to co-operate with the Government in carrying out within the Municipal Limits, the measures advocated by the Committee, with the approval of the Government and will provide the funds, named in Appendix C of the report in the first Supplementary Budget. The motion on being put to the meeting was carried unanimously. Read letter from the Hon. the Col. Secretary, Meml. 13952/89


Her previous seventy-two years in England and Ireland had already spanned the creation of Kew Gardens, the rise of English paper making, Jacobites thrown into the Tower of London, forced marriages, women's floral-embroidered stomachers, and the use of the flintlock musket -- all of which, except for the musket -- she knew very personally.
I hadn't heard of this book yet, but do admit that it sounds fascinating. Thanks for sharing it with us!
i'm curious about the floral-embroidered stomachers. curious article of clothing, eh?

Visualising from "Above" Or From the Margins? Defining the "University Woman" and Internationalising Knowledge: Types of University Training (IFUW, 1934)
joyce November 11, 2021 Comment Closed
This paper traces the social processes and social categories codified in the numerical data and inscription devices deployed in Types of University Training (IFUW 1934). This survey was initially compiled by the Committee of Standards of the International Federation of University Women to advise its Council on the requirements for membership in national associations wishing to affiliate. The Committee of Standards surveyed the qualifications of members of national associations of university women (Hunyadi 2016) to determine who "counted" as a "university woman" in a situation where the uneven development of women's higher education had resulted in the potential for the term "university woman" to be differently interpreted in different countries (Cabanel 2018). Types of University Training sought to provide "a comparative illustration of the types of educational systems" and of programmes that had admitted IFUW members and to illustrate the "variety in the value of [their] degrees" (introduction). The paper argues that while surveys have been associated with the collection of "commanding knowledge" from above (Yeo, 1996), power relations of gender entangled in the social biography of Types of University Training in ways that complicate this designation.
The first section of the paper traces the expansion of the social purpose underpinning Types of University Training expanded from a mechanism to determine membership to a link with the IFUW's aim to internationalise learning and knowledge, and then to a concern with academic status and quality. This section argues that in a context where women often occupied marginal spaces in the academy the numeric data and visual inscription devices (Turmel 2008) deployed in Types of University Training enabled both the "university woman" and her position in higher education institutions to become visible in ways amenable to international transfer with the potential for (re)deployment in the IFUW's liberal narratives of "progress", "excellence" and/or exclusion in reforming the often marginal position of the "university woman", particularly in relation to research.
The second section explores the social processes through which the IFUW sought to stabilise the "scientific" reliability and validity of the data through which "the university woman" was mapped and classified. It traces methods of data collection, their local, national and transnational flows, the grids of visibility created via numbers, tables, and diagrams and the international glossary of educational terms that the IFUW published to clarify definitions and classifications across different education systems. This section argues that what emerged as numbers and visual inscription devices was the result of dialogue and negotiation and that the "commanding knowledge" of the IFUW that was produced held the potential to legitimise the academic status of IFUW members (one of the IFUW's aspirations).
The concluding section argues (following (Sobe 2013) that Types of University Training "smoothed out" spaces of international comparative visibility around ethnicity and race and that by excluding institutions like training colleges where many women gained a higher education, Types of University Training created an "alternative above" from the margins that was fractured around gender as well as ethnicity and race.

Penalty Corners
DARTMOUTH, Mass. -- Junior Hannah Steen's (Fall River, Mass.) goal with 5:05 remaining lifted UMass Dartmouth to a 4-3 Little East Conference field hockey victory over Plymouth State Saturday afternoon at Cressy Field.
The host Corsairs (4-6, 2-3 LEC) grabbed a 1-0 lead 4:59 into the contest when junior Brittany Perry (North Dighton, Mass.) converted a feed from sophomore Lydia Stormwind (Littleton, Mass.) from the left side of the cage, but the visiting Panthers (5-5, 3-3 LEC) evened matters just under four minutes later after sophomore Mariah Luscher (Holderness, N.H.) tapped in a shot off the post on a pass from senior Kylie Ham (Wayland, Mass.). UMass Dartmouth regained its edge with 1:25 remaining in the opening quarter when junior Mikella DaSilva (Fall River, Mass.) took a crossing pass from Perry from in front, and that margin held up through a scoreless second stanza.
Plymouth State forged the second tie of the day midway through the third quarter after Ham scored on a penalty corner feed from senior Kaihley Rafferty (Salem, Conn.), but the hosts took a 3-2 lead two minutes later when sophomore Kylie Dias (Fall River, Mass.) deflected a pass from fellow sophomore Samantha Bittenbender (Belvidere, N.J.). The visitors knotted the score for the final time just 1:45 later on sophomore Natalie Perry's (Conway, N.H.) tally that was set up in front by junior Haley Wakefield (Norway, Maine), and the Panthers had a chance to take the lead in the closing 1:48 of the frame but were denied when Ham's penalty stroke was stopped by Corsair junior netminder Katelyn Banalewicz (Fall River, Mass.). Steen then provided the fourth quarter heroics for UMass Dartmouth, as she scored from 10 yards out off a penalty corner to account for the final margin.
Banalewicz made 10 saves to pick up her fourth win of the season in goal for the Corsairs, while junior Jess Distler (Brookfield, N.H.) made four stops in the setback for Plymouth State. The Panthers outshot UMass Dartmouth by a 19-8 margin overall (13-8 on goal) and held a 5-3 advantage in penalty corners for the contest.
UMass Dartmouth travels to Danbury, Conn. on Wednesday evening for a Little East Conference clash with Western Connecticut beginning at 6:00 pm, while Plymouth State heads to Castleton, Vt. on Wednesday evening for a Little East match with Castleton that begins at 7:00 pm.


We use the yellow goals posts located in the gear room for the U6's and U7's matches.
U6's and U7's match duration is 2 x 15 minute halves (5-minute half time break).
U6's & U7's field goal positions and corner post positions are marked with pink fluorescent paint marks. Corner post positions are marked with an "X" mark and Goal positions are marked with an "O". Redbacks field can run eight U6's or U7's field games simultaneously. Field size is 20-meters in width x 30-meters in length.
Goals posts are to be anchored to the ground by one of two U shaped pegs in the back edge of the goals post to stop them falling over. (Pegs are in a bucket in the gears room).
We use the 3-meter x 2-meter aluminium goals posts located along the southern mesh fence for the U8's and U9's matches.
U8's and U9's match duration is 2 x 20-minute halves (5-minute half time break).
U8's & U9's field utilise 2 of the U6 fields. The 4 extreme corner posts of the 2 fields stay in place as your corner posts. The 2 remaining inner corner posts will provide a guide for your half way line. Split the distance by half and insert a post. Remove the remaining post. This will be you half way line. So we should now have 4 corner posts and 2 half way posts. Redbacks field can run four U8's or U9's field games simultaneously. Field size is 35-meter in width x 45-meter in length.
Goals posts are to be anchored to the round by four to six U shaped pegs in the back edge of the goals post to stop them falling over. (Pegs are in a bucket in the gears room).
We use the 5-meter x 2-meter aluminium goals posts which are located behind the old clubhouse or canteen for the Ul0's and U11's matches.
U10's and U11's match duration is 2 x 25-minute halves (5-minute half time break).
U10's & U11's field utilise 2 of the U8 fields. The 4 extreme corner posts of the 2 fields stay in place as your corner posts. Pick the half way point of the goal mouth and insert a pole and put another pole on the opposite side off the field to mark your halfway line. Use the remaining posts to form the sideline approximately 10 feet front the full field halfway line. There will be a gap between the 2 fields formed for parents and spectators to watch the game. So we should now have 4 corner posts and 2 half way posts and a sideline formed from the posts. Redbacks field can run two U10's or U11's field games simultaneously.

Lawrence wants corporate support for players
Published:Monday | April 27, 2020 | 12:21 AMDaniel Wheeler/Gleaner Writer
National defender Kemar Lawrence is calling on local companies to make an investment in local footballers in the early stages of their careers.
In a wide-ranging interview with The Gleaner, the 27-year-old full back discussed a number of issues that ranged from his time in Major League Soccer with the New York Red Bulls and the circumstances behind his departure to the investment needed in the national programme in order for the country's potential to be fulfilled.
Lawrence, who signed with Belgium club Anderlecht in January, says that while players abroad may have got deals with companies in their respective leagues, there are not enough persons who have been supported by a local sponsor in their early development.
"If you are not taking care of your own, why should someone overseas invest in you?" Lawrence asked. "If you look at our team, there are so many talented youngsters, so many people that are doing good things. How many of them even have a sponsor in Jamaica? How many of them have a local sponsor?"
There has, however, been evidence of local sponsorship recently. Midfielder Peter-Lee Vassell was signed to a one-year endorsement deal with Gatorade last year, but Lawrence says that there is reluctance for companies to put that kind of investment into endorsement deals with players until they have achieved a significant amount in their careers.
"Everyone wants to wait until you're big first, like your name is attached to a Manchester United or so. Nobody wants to rise with you to that point. Everybody just wants to see you there first before they can invest," he said.
BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS
It is because of this reason and his unsuccessful renegotiation with the Red Bulls that he feels that his move to Europe is important. He believes that it offers the opportunity not only for him to raise his individual stock but for the next generation of players to be better valued.
"My journey on this earth is to break some of these walls and barriers that are up so that our sons and daughters and the youngsters don't have to face the same challenges that we have faced," he said. "Someway, somehow, it can get easier, so I'm trying to do the right things, put God first, and see if I can move around some things for my fellow Jamaicans."

7 Society
Revision as of 08:45, 20 July 2010 by Smbookman (talk | contribs)
The 7 Society is a secret society at the College of William and Mary.
Alumnus James Allan Cook was listed as a member of the 7 Society at the College of William and Mary in the 1928 Colonial Echo yearbook. In a letter to the Society of the Alumni in 1974 Cook stated: "From the best of my recollection, the "7" club was a social club - without clearly defined purposes - and meeting times." Whereas alumnus Art Matsu recalled in a letter that same year: "Emphatically it was the farthest from being a social organ, having seven senior members, selected annually from the succeeding junior Class, who seemed best qualified to act on the undergraduate level in the best interests of The College in student matters deemed not important enough, or best to be handled on a contemporary basis, rather than surface to the Administrations attention, - which might be less understanding." Matsu continues on to discuss the organization in his two-page letter and there are further comments on the organization from member Kenneth Beatty.

New Music. New Jazz. Curated by John Zorn.
The John Zorn Commissioning Series celebrates Zorn's revolutionary venue, The Stone, a non-profit venue that was "dedicated to the experimental and avant-garde" and served as a vital spot for new music in Manhattan's Alphabet City for over a decade. Held on the last Wednesday of every month, National Sawdust honors the spirit of the Stone, hosting the world premiere of new works.
This month's concert features trumpeter Peter Evans, who will present an evening of his own compositions for violin and piano — performed by Mazz Swift and Ron Stabinsky — as well as performing a solo piece on his iconic trumpet.
Peter Evans is a trumpet player and improvisor/composer based in New York City since 2003. Evans is part of a broad, hybridized scene of musical experimentation, and his work cuts across a wide range of modern musical practices and traditions. Peter is committed to the simultaneously self-determining and collaborative nature of musical improvisation as a compositional tool, and works with an ever-expanding group of musicians and composers in the creation of new music. His primary groups as a leader are the Peter Evans Ensemble and Being & Becoming. Evans has been exploring solo trumpet music since 2002 and is widely recognized as a leading voice in the field, having released several recordings over the past decade. He is a member of the cooperative groups Pulverize the Sound (with Mike Pride and Tim Dahl) and Rocket Science (with Evan Parker, Craig Taborn and Sam Pluta), and is constantly experimenting and forming new configurations with like–minded players. As a composer, he has been commissioned by the International Contemporary Ensemble, Yarn/Wire, the Donaueschinger Musiktage, the Jerome Foundation's Emerging Artist Program, and the Doris Duke Foundation. Evans has presented and/or performed his works at major festivals worldwide and tours his own groups extensively. He has worked with some of the leading figures in new music: John Zorn, Ingrid Laubrock, Jim Black, Weasel Walter, Ambrose Akinmusire, Matana Roberts, Tyshawn Sorey, Levy Lorenzo, Nate Wooley, Steven Schick, Mary Halvorson, and Joe McPhee, and he performs with both ICE and the Wet Ink Ensemble. He has been releasing recordings on his own label, More is More, since 2011. 2018 will see the release of a new solo album, the first duo album with Levy Lorenzo, a new record by Pulverize the Sound, and a new album by the Peter Evans Ensemble.
As a solo performer and bandleader, Violin/Vox/Freestyle Composition artist Mazz Swift is critically acclaimed as one of America's most talented and versatile performers today, and engages audiences worldwide with her signature weaving of composition and improvisation called MazzMuse. She is a proud performing member of Yo-Yo Ma's Silkroad Ensemble, as well as with the Jersey City based chamber music organization Con Vivo Music. Mazz's collaborative string trio HEAR in NOW (together with Tomeka Reid on cello and Silvia Bolognesi on the doublebass) was awarded the 2018 Chamber Music America Residency Partnership Program grant, and as such were featured artists in Philadelphia's October Revolution Festival.
Ms. Swift has performed and taught workshops in free improvisation on six continents, most notably having traveled to Suriname, Mozambique, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Cameroon, Senegal, Albania and Siberia as culturalambassador at the invitation of the United States Department of State.
She is currently working on her first solo CD, Modern Day Protest Songs.

Why is UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson facing his biggest crisis, and what comes next?
Jul 6, 2022 and what comes next? - CNN, UK, Why is UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson facing his biggest crisis
Johnson has weathered multiple storms during his time as Prime Minister, but this may be one crisis too many.
The immediate cause of the crisis was the fallout from the resignation last Thursday of Deputy Chief Whip Chris Pincher, amid allegations he had groped two guests at a private dinner the night before.
What landed Johnson in deeper trouble, though, were the contortions that Downing Street press officers went into when trying to explain why Pincher was ever in government in the first place.
At first, when new reports of Pincher's historical conduct emerged in the light of his resignation, Downing Street denied the Prime Minister knew anything about the allegations, which related to Pincher's time as a Foreign Office minister.
When it became clear this would not hold, Johnson's team said he had known about the historical allegations, but that they had been "resolved."
When it emerged that one of the previously unreported allegations against Pincher had been upheld, Johnson's spokesperson explained that "resolved" could mean that it had been upheld.
Then on Tuesday morning, Simon McDonald, the former top civil servant at the Foreign Office, revealed that Johnson had been briefed in person about the outcome of an investigation into Pincher's conduct, sparking a wave of resignations over the course of the day.
Boris Johnson is still in control of his own fate … for the moment.
Conservative Party rules dictate that if a leader wins a confidence vote, then they are immune from another challenge for 12 months. Johnson survived a confidence vote on June 6.
However, so deep is the current crisis that it's possible the 1922 Committee of Conservative backbench Members of Parliament could rewrite the rules in order to get rid of the Prime Minister.
The committee met on Wednesday and decided to hold an election for a new leadership on Monday. Once elected, the new executive of the committee will decide whether to change the rules and move forward with yet another confidence vote — one that Johnson would be much more likely to lose.
Until that point, the question is one of how much public humiliation Johnson can take. Dozens of lawmakers have now quit the government and on Wednesday evening a delegation of cabinet members descended on Downing Street to ask the Prime Minister to resign.
One of them — UK Home Secretary Priti Patel — informed Johnson that the general view of the party was that he had to go, a source close to Patel told CNN.
More government ministers will almost certainly quit and opposition sources are talking up the prospect of defections.
What happens if Johnson resigns?
In the UK, the resignation of a Prime Minister doesn't automatically trigger a general election.
If Johnson were to step down, the Conservative Party would hold an internal election to choose a new leader, who would then become Prime Minister.
Johnson would probably remain in post until his successor had been chosen, as did his predecessors Theresa May and David Cameron when they resigned in May 2019 and June 2016, respectively.
Barring another resignation or an early election, the new Prime Minister would then lead the UK until the next scheduled election in 2024.

UCI continental team rider Tim James, from Bourne, dies from rare cancer aged just 23
Exciting cycling prospect Tim James who was tipped to compete alongside the world's elite has died from a rare cancer aged just 23.
Tim became ill last year, on the cusp of joining the professional ranks, with what was ultimately diagnosed as an extremely rare cancer.
He passed away at his family home in Bourne last Friday morning, surrounded by parents Stuart and Janet, and sister Georgie.
Tim's best result was a top-five finish in an elite national race in Spain. Photo: Zappi Racing Team
"Even when he was told there was no more treatment he was more concerned about us and how we would manage than himself," said mum Janet.
"He told us 'please carry on with your lives and do all the travelling you wanted to do and please look after Georgie'.
"He was such a selfless person."
Tim was described as focussed and determined in the saddle, and compassionate and caring off the bike. Photo: Zappi Racing Team
A fierce competitor on the bike, with a compassionate nature out of the saddle, he took on three rounds of chemotherapy and surgery.
Against a disease of which less than a handful of cases had ever been recorded in the world, Tim faced an unfair fight, but handled it with positivity.
"Everyone he met, from consultants to friends and relations, couldn't believe his stoicism throughout," Janet added.
In his early cyclo-cross days with Bourne Wheelers at Rutland Water, aged 11. Photo supplied
"He never once complained. He would just say 'I've got cancer, I've got to get on with it'."
Tim's cycling odyssey began aged 11 at a Go Ride session at Bourne Westfields Primary Schools, where Mark Botteley, of Bourne Wheelers, spotted a natural talent.
After success in junior cyclo-cross ranks he switched to road racing.

He soon developed as a climber, and aged 15 crested the infamous trio of Tour de France mountain climbs - Mont Ventoux, Alpe D'Huez and Col de Galibier.
Following A-levels at Bourne Academy, he took time out to pursue his cycling dream, training in Spain for two months before moving to Italy in 2018 to join the Zappi Racing Team.
He spent two years learning his trade in a brutally tough and competitive environment, racing regularly alongside future World Tour riders, including Tadej Pogačar who won the Tour de France in 2020.

He twice rode the Baby Giro, the junior version of elite stage race, the Giro D'Italia.
The team wore black armbands at their latest race on Sunday.
Flavio Zappi said: "Tim was just a beautiful kid full of fun and positivity, great at helping the others when they had troubles sorting out bikes, but at the same time very determined at races."

His best result was fifth place in prestigious Spanish national elite race Trofeo Guerrita, but it was consistent top 20 finishes, and tactical astuteness which caught the eye of SwiftCarbon Pro Cycling.
He signed for the 2020 season to compete at UCI Continental level - just two rungs down from his dream - the elite World Tour.
Team manager Paul Lamb: "Tim was a talented bike rider that would have gone on to do great things.
"He was also one of the most genuine and decent people I have had the pleasure to know. His humility and generous nature stood out.
"Tim will never be forgotten and as a team we will make sure his legacy lives on."
However, his opportunity was stolen by the Covid pandemic which wiped out the race calendar, and then illness.
Tim inspired team-mates Conor Chandler and Nic McKibbin to climb the equivalent of Mount Everest every day for a week for children and young people's cancer charity Clic Sargent, which supported Tim during his illness.
Tim's parents are planning to raise money in Tim's memory to help raise funds for the Teenagers and Young Adult centre at Addenbrooke's where he received specialist treatment.
Sister Georgie was also this week given a place in October's London Marathon to run for Cancer Research UK.
"There was every possibility he could have made it, he had the world at his feet," Janet said.
"Its not just his cycling, it was everything about Tim that made him so special to so many people.
"He was a very good rider, but would never talk about himself and always helped other guys sort their bikes out.
"He was very close, but we will never know that."

On January 4, 2011, the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners adopted a 2011 budget while charging County staff to take another hard look at operations with the goal of eliminating an $18 million deficit. The budget, prepared with input from citizens who served alongside elected officials and staff on a budget review committee, is based upon departmental business plans and incorporates many recommendations from the Engage Gwinnett citizens committee.
The budget totaling $1.3 billion is comprised of $977.5 million in operating funds and $337.3 million in capital project funds. The operating budget is 3.2 percent less than the 2010 revised budget while the capital budget is 39.1 percent less than the 2010 plan. In total, the County's 2011 budget is $248 million less than fiscal year 2010, representing an overall 16 percent reduction.
Declining real estate values combined with a tough economy have created budgetary challenges for local governments throughout Georgia and across the United States. Property tax is a vital source of revenue for Gwinnett County that funds operational expenses such as public safety, courts, libraries and parks. The tax digest declined almost nine percent in 2010, is forecast to contract by another nine percent this year and will likely shrink again in 2012. The County responded to the resulting reduction in operating revenues by making substantial service cuts and staff reductions over the past two years. Core services have been preserved where possible and no new services were added in the 2011 budget.
The budget includes voluntary departmental reductions of $5.7 million, plus $2.3 million in further service reductions. These reductions include a 15 percent reduction to libraries and a 50 percent reduction in subsidies to external agencies, excluding the Coalition for Health and Human Services, which was funded at its 2010 levels. The only increases are due to state and federal mandates.
Board Vice Chairman Shirley Lasseter made the motion to approve the 2011 budget. "Using our reserves to plug the budget gap is unsustainable and it forces the county into a deeper deficit in 2012. It's a bad trade-off and one that I want to make clear is not on the table for the County's sake," said Lasseter.
Chief Financial Officer Aaron Bovos replied that staff has designed a work plan that categorizes activities in six areas that will help balance the County's financial plan. "I can assure you that many of these actions are already underway and represent a significant focus for senior staff. We look forward to continued input from employees, citizens, and the work groups and task forces participating in these processes," said Bovos.

Remote workers are on the rise. There are a number of reasons for the increase in the mobile workforce: multinational companies with employees based all over the globe, a younger workforce, technological improvements, and the realization that some people just work better when not confined to the office.
So with that, comes the rise in the conference call. This is something that has been a necessarily evil for many people for a number of years, but the good news is that times have changed—and online meetings don't have to be the waste of time that they were once.
This sounds obvious, and it is obvious, but that doesn't mean that unnecessary meetings never happen. They do, all too much. Most of the time the recurring weekly meetings are the culprits. While some weeks it is crucial that the team check in, other weeks there seems to be little to say.
Solution: Watch out for time drain meetings by sending out a simple "Yay" or "Nay" response required poll before the meeting. Do we need to meet today?
This is especially true for conference calls and online meetings. There is nothing, nothing, more boring than being on a conference call and listening to other people talk about things that are not relevant to you. That's I'm going to stab myself in the hand so I can go to hospital and get out of this meeting boring. If you care about your colleagues, you'll want to keep them out of ER. Don't make them dial in to meetings that they don't have to be in.
Solution: Rather than pulling everyone in on one big conference call where they spend 90 percent of their time not talking, schedule lots of short, individual conference calls so that you can check in with each one of them one-to-one, or if you work with separate teams, maybe have a couple of people on the same call. That way you'll only be talking about what is relevant to everyone in the virtual room.
Dialing into a conference call is tricky because there are often multiple PIN numbers and passcodes that are necessary in order for you to get onto the correct conference line. There is nothing more tiresome than dialing a number only to be given an error tone, and then having to dial again.
Solution: The MobileDay App syncs with your online calendar—retrieves the required passcodes and PIN numbers—and dials you in to any meeting bridge instantly. Viola!
It's free, so basically the only work on your part is to go to the app store and download it.

Nope, it's not abandoned tracks through, say, rural Maine. It's the abandoned tracks through West L.A. that will soon be home to phase two of the Expo Line Line between Culver City and Santa Monica. The shot shows the stretch of track between the Santa Monica Freeway undercrossing and Overland Avenue. Check out more Expo photos at Friend of Expo Line's Flickr photostream.
How are we looking at resolving getting the Expo Line under the 10 freeway?? Does that underpass have to be completely revamped??
I hope Expo Authority will try to keep as much as the foliage as possible. It would be a shame to see it all cleared out. With it this could be one of the best segments to ride through. A reminder of why its better to take the train rather than sit in traffic on the 10.
It does look beautiful, but the beautiful foliage along the Gold Line in NELA and South Pasadena seems to be the cause for the annual service disruptions due to landslides, windstorms, tree trunks falling, etc.

How tight is Too tight, or Cheater Bars, How Much are you Gaining?
Tow Professional article: How tight is Too tight, or Cheater Bars, How Much are you Gaining? Back before I started working at B/A Products I worked for a small landscaping company. We had a couple of small F350 dump trucks, a Bobcat and trailer. Both trucks had hitches, but we only had one hitch ball. One truck was usually used to pull the trailer. If you needed to pull the trailer with the other truck, the hitch ball had to get moved from one truck to another. One day I had to swap the ball, and the 24" pipe wrench would not break the nut loose. I found a piece of pipe about 5 feet long that fit over the handle of the wrench and presto, the nut came loose.
A good question would be why did the company only have one hitch ball, but the focus of this article is the pipe I used to gain leverage and break the nut loose, otherwise known as a Cheater Bar. By adding to the length of the handle of the wrench, I gained leverage which provided the necessary additional force to break the nut loose. In simple terms, the Cheater Bar is a lever, and a lever is used to gain a mechanical advantage.
The question then becomes how much additional force can cheater bars generate, and is it dangerous? I set out to determine the answer, and I think the results will surprise you.
Time for a disclaimer: The testing we describe was done in a controlled environment, with brand new products. Extreme care was used to avoid personal injury and property damage. The data presented is for informational purposes only. All load binder manufacturers, as well as B/A Products, state that Cheater Bars are NOT to be used. As always, NEVER exceed the Work Load Limit (WLL) of your tie downs.
With the disclaimer out of the way, let's lay out the premise of the testing. The goal was to determine how much force could a ratchet load binder, lever load binder and web ratchet apply to a piece of chain or web without a cheater bar. These will be the control tests. The next set of tests will show how much additional force could be applied when a cheater bar was used. Two lengths of cheater bars were used, 24" and 36". For the load binders a 3/8 G8 ratchet binder with a Work Load Limit of 8800 LBS, a 5/16"-3/8" G7 lever binder with a WLL of 6600 LBS and a length of 3/8 G7 chain with a WLL of 6600 LBS were used. As 6600 LBS is the lowest WLL of the products we are using, that is our target load. The web strap and ratchet has a 3670 LBS WLL, so that is the target load for this product. A second person monitoredthe readout of the test bed to avoid going over the tie down Work Load Limits.
Just to get an idea what kind of forces and loads we are dealing with I set up a quick test. A loop was formed in two pieces of chain by hooking back to itself with a grab hook; those loops were then attached to the test bed. The opposite ends of those chains were attached to the load binders grab hooks, forming a vertical hitch. Most of the slack was removed from this assembly by retracting the ram of the test bed. The operator sat of the test bed and operated the lever load binder by pulling the handle towards him, and stopped when he felt his outside foot get light. In other words, no body English was used, strictly an arm pull. Loads of 3769 LBS and 3713 LBS were achieved.
Let's step away from the testing for a moment and talk about the operator. I volunteered for this assignment as one of the goals was to do the testing and not have anyone get hurt. I have used chain and web tie downs extensively. I have also used cheater bars on wrenches and various non tie down applications, am aware of the dangers involved and have the scars to prove it. In order to reduce therisk of injury it was decided that the operator would remain seated. It was also decided that a simplepull motion would be used. I weigh in at 220 lbs, and am in fairly decent shape, so take that into consideration when reviewing the results. A smaller (or larger) operator, as well as the position (seated, standing), and amount of "body English" applied may change these results drastically. Now back to the testing.
Next in the test bed was the control for the lever load binder. Our WLL is still 6600 LBS, and our chain is still 3/8 G7. Lever binders differ from ratchet binders in that the slack take up of the lever binder is not adjustable. The slack in the chain must be adjusted by changing which chain link the lever binder is attached to or by changing the chains attachment point to the load changed. This added some challenges to our testing, but we had the advantage of being able to move the attachment point by retracting the ram of the tester.
With that in mind, the chain was looped over the hooks of the tester and attached back to itself at each end, once again a vertical hitch. The lever load binder was installed on the chain in the open position and the ram retracted a little at a time until most of the slack was removed from the chain, then an attempt was made to close the binder by hand. This process was repeated until there was enough slack removed that the lever could not be closed by hand. The ram was then backed out so the binder could be closed. The loads recorded were 1983 LBS and 2048 LBS. As these loads are less than the WLL of thechain, so far, so good.
I started with the lever binder. Since the slack in the chain is not adjustable, this becomes the most likely candidate for a cheater bar. The extra umph the cheater bar gives may be enough to get the lever binder to close. The same process was used to remove slack as in the baseline test, so that the lever binder could not be closed by hand. A cheater bar was then used to close the binder. My cheater bar was a length of 1 ¾" OD heavy wall tubing, cut 36" long.
A piece of tape was wrapped around the tube at the 24" mark, and my hands were kept below that mark during the 24" cheater bar testing. Due to the way the lever binder mechanism functions, I had tostand to finish closing the binder.
Several attempts were made holding the bar at the 24" mark, and loads of 4680 LBS and 5041 LBS were recorded. The bar was then held at the 36" mark, and loads of 5690 LBS and 6176 LBS were recorded. Given the position of the load binder and the way the chain was set up, I found myself using a lot "body english" and felt very off balance. For safety's sake, the decision was made to discontinue testing with the lever load binder.
I moved on to the web ratchet and strap. Since the ratchet does not lend itself to having a cheater bar attached like a load binder does, I had to get a little creative. I settled on a couple of items that might commonly be found on a tow truck, a long screw driver and a 15" J hook. The screw driver measured 14 inches long.
These results were very interesting. First I was surprised how little advantage the cheater bars gave,second was the difficulty of using them. Both the J hook and screw driver slipped several times duringthe testing. I'm glad I was sitting down. Loads with the J hook were 2389 LBS and 1867 LBS, and the screw driver 1452 LBS and 1742 LBS. For a 300 LBS gain in force, I ended up with a bent screw driver! Once again due to the danger involved, I gave up on any further testing of the web strap and ratchet.
Finally I tested the ratchet binder with the cheater bar. Using the same method as before, the operator was seated, pulling the cheater bar towards myself, and stopped pulling when I felt there was body English involved. With the 24" bar, I was able to put loads of 6204 LBS and 6487 LBS on the assembly. With the 36" bar, I hit loads of 8069 LBS and 7769 LBS., both of which exceed the 6600 LBS WLL. Houston, we have a problem! By using a device specifically advised against by all load binder manufacturers, the chain was overloaded.
On the web ratchet gained between 300 to 900 LBS of force on the tie down, but at the cost of a bent screw driver, more importantly, the risk of personal injury due to the slipping of the makeshift cheater bar. There is also the likelihood of damaging the ratchet due to forces being applied where they are not designed to be, and damage to the strap itself if a sharp object (like a screwdriver) contacts it when it slips. I hope you agree that a cheater bar of any kind has no business being used on a web and ratchettie down.
On the lever load binder we saw some pretty good gains in force applied. However, the danger to the operator would outweigh these gains. The two main dangers are a fall caused by the operator being off balance and the release of force or "kickback" of the handle and cheater bar if the operator does not maintain control. Once again I hope you agree the risk does not outweigh the benefit.
Lastly on the ratchet binder we found that using a cheater bar and arm strength alone can exceed the Work Load Limit of the chain. In this case we are using a 6600 LBS WLL chain. If you drop to 5/16" G7 chain with a WLL of 4700 LBS, that WLL can be exceeded with the shorter 24" cheater bar.
It is very possible to overcome the Work Load Limit of the chain when using a cheater bar.
There is a very strong possibility of injury from a slip, fall, and "kick back" or sudden release of energy.
There is a very strong possibility of damage to the web, web ratchet, chain and binder.
Now that we know what the hazards are, how do we address them? And how tight should your cargo tie downs be? I will try to answer those questions in the next issue.


No player sacrifices his body like Kyle Lowry.
The third one Lowry had drawn in a two-minute, 20-second window if we include the illegal shove called on Marcus Morris.
In the regular season and playoffs combined.
Who, while clearly diminished from his days as a first team All-Defense selection, is still a solid defender.
This sounds similar to a college upbringing we've reported on in the past, that of perhaps the league's most efficient charge-taker, Anthony Tolliver.


Ahead of the new waves of Palestinian protests on the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel, a senior official of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), cited by Haaretz, has stated that their protocol along the fence on the Gaza border remains the same as during the "March of Return" clashes. He said the IDF would prevent attempts to cross the border, but try to avoid deaths, as only brigade commanders will have the right to order to open fire.
Special buses are taking eager protesters to the camps on the border. Calls to take part in a new round of demonstrations have come from the organizers of the "March of Return," who expect many people to join these protests as now Muslims are fasting during Ramadan, according to the media. They also state that this time they will be more careful due to the recent spike in violence and military activities.
The situation on the border escalated on May 28, particularly after an Israeli tank attacked a militant observation post in response to an attempted violation of the border by two Palestinians.
A full-scale IDF operation began the next day after missiles were allegedly launched from the Gaza Strip. Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman commented on the issue, saying the strikes against Gaza are "only the beginning." The Israel Defense Forces struck 25 targets in the Gaza Strip, in response to reports of mortars being fired from Gaza, with one hitting a kindergarten.
The violent clashes between Palestinian protestors and the IDF on the Gaza border with Israel erupted in March when the Palestinians started their rallies called the "Great March of Return," demand the right of Arab refugees to return to the territory of Israel, which the country has blocked with the creation of the state of Israel. Violence mounted on May 14, when the participants were supposed to try to cross the border fence, which Israel had repeatedly promised to prevent.
As the protest grew into riots, live fire was used along with tear gas and other anti-riot means. The death toll reached 118 people, according to the Health Ministry of the Gaza, after a 23-year-old Gaza resident died.
Israel has explained its actions citing security reasons, saying it is defending its borders and blames Hamas for encouraging thousands of Palestinians to break through the border and attack Israelis.
Another large-scale demonstration is planned for June 5 when tens of thousands are called to march to mark the 51st anniversary of the Six-Day War.

Saturday 18 May, 2019 | By CharlieMcCann | BetVictor Betting Offers, Horse Racing News, Horse Racing Tips
Former Talksport man Charlie McCann marks your card with eight to follow on Saturday at Newbury, Newmarket and Uttoxeter. View selections below.
The Gp 1 Lockinge Stakes over the straight mile at Newbury is today's racing highlight. Last season's Jersey Stakes winner Le Brivado steps back up in trip having been slowly away when staying on in third in the Gp 3 7f Gladness Stakes having his first start for Aidan O'Brien. The colt did finish runner up in the French Guineas when trained by Andre Fabre over a mile, so today's additional furlong holds no terrors. He is 7/2 at BetVictor and looks sure to run a big race.
Mustashry is a horse I have a lot of time for and at 9/1 with BetVictor will have his supporters, but Laurens (3.40) gets the each way nod at 9/2 with BetVictor. The filly is a multiple Group 1 winner against her own sex and there doesn't appear to be a top-class colt or gelding in the field. She would, arguably, prefer Friday's forecast drizzle to get into the ground, but she is reported to be working well for Karl Burke ahead of her reappearance and I hope she can grind it out from the front.
Crystal Ocean (2.25) cannot be opposed as he bids to follow up last years win in the Aston Park Stakes. Sir Michael Stoute's 5-year-old looked as good as ever when landing the Gordon Richards Stakes on his reappearance over 10f and this return to a mile-and-a-half will suit. The selection is 1/2 at BetVictorfor today and 6/1 for the Prince Of Wales's Stakes back at 10f at Royal Ascot next month. The Hardwicke Stakes – which he won 12 months ago – remains an alternative target at the Royal meeting.
The London Gold Cup is one of the most informative 3-y-old handicaps of the season and, once again, there are several lightly-raced well-bred sorts in this valuable 10f handicap. Stoute's Solid Stone (5/1 with BetVictor) has been the uneasy favourite since betting opened and my two against the field are The Trader (25/1 at BetVictor) and Sinjaari (3.00) with preference for the William Haggas trained colt who broke his maiden at Windsor on his third and latest start.
Oisin Murphy takes the ride on this lightly-raced three-year-old who is likely to get further in time and at 7/1 with BetVictor is the each way recommendation.
Queen Power (4.50) looked ready for a step up to 10f when a never nearer second over a mile at Ascot on her reappearance – and first start for Sir Michael Stoute. She is not absolutely guaranteed to get this 10f trip – mixed messages on breeding – but she hit the line hard at Ascot on her reappearance and looks ready for this step up in grade and distance.
Andrew Balding's Newbury maiden winner Raise You must show he is as effective on fast ground as his is on good to soft and he is overlooked in the Newmarket opener even though Andrew Balding nominated the Dante Stakes at York as his next start after he scored on the Berkshire track.
Godolphin's Al Hilalee (2.05) was sent off at just 8/1 for the Guineas at the beginning of the month but found things happening far too quickly over a mile. At 10/3 with BetVictor I expect to see him improve markedly returning to Newmarket for the extra quarter of a mile this afternoon although he, too, would appreciate a drop of rain.
Jash (2.40) finished second in the Gp 1 Middle Park Stakes on his last start as a juvenile – beaten half a length by beaten Guineas favourite Ten Sovereigns – but had impressed in winning his first couple of starts. Today's step up to 7f in the King Charles II Stakes should tell us whether he will return to 6f in the Commonwealth Cup – 12/1 at BetVictor – next time, step up to a Mile in the Irish Guineas or St James's Palace Stakes or stay at 7f for the Jersey Stakes. He is Evens at BetVictor to make a winning reappearance.
At Uttoxeter this evening Mister Mister (6.50) is only 4lbs higher than when scoring last time and is taken to land his hat-trick off just a 4lbs higher mark for Dai Williams. The selection is getting his act together over the larger obstacles and remains rated 24lbs lower over fences than hurdles.
