Report on Chirinkotan (Russia) — 8 March-14 March 2017
Chirinkotan
8 March-14 March 2017
Global Volcanism Program, 2017. Report on Chirinkotan (Russia). In: Sennert, S K (ed.), Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 8 March-14 March 2017. Smithsonian Institution and US Geological Survey.
Weekly Report (8 March-14 March 2017)
48.98°N, 153.48°E; summit elev. 724 m
SVERT noted that no further activity at Chirinkotan was visible after the ash emission on 1 March. The Aviation Color Code was lowered to Green (on a four-color scale) on 5 March.
Geological Summary. The small, mostly unvegetated 3-km-wide island of Chirinkotan occupies the far end of an E-W volcanic chain that extends nearly 50 km W of the central part of the main Kuril Islands arc. It is the emergent summit of a volcano that rises 3000 m from the floor of the Kuril Basin. A small 1-km-wide caldera about 300-400 m deep is open to the SW. Lava flows from a cone within the breached crater reached the shore of the island. Historical eruptions have been recorded since the 18th century. Lava flows were observed by the English fur trader Captain Snow in the 1880s.

Tara Kemp is an American singer best known for her two Billboard Hot 100 top-ten singles in 1991: "Hold You Tight" and "Piece of My Heart."

Career
Kemp signed to Giant Records in 1990, a new sublabel of the Warner Brothers music label. In January 1991, her self-titled album and debut single "Hold You Tight" were released. "Hold You Tight" became a hit, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart; the song was certified gold by the RIAA and ranked as the twenty-fifth best-selling single of 1991. The song also peaked at No. 69 in the UK Singles Chart. In May, Kemp released her second single "Piece of My Heart", which reached number seven on the Hot 100 in July and was the eighty-fourth best-selling single of the year. A third single "Too Much" was released, but stalled at number 95.

Following the release of her debut album, Giant began to interfere with Kemp's recording of her sophomore album. Wanting to sign to Atlantic Records – where most of the people who had signed her to Giant had moved to – Kemp asked to be released from her contract. However, Atlantic did not sign her. Kemp released two more songs: in 1993, "Action Speaks Louder Than Words" was featured on the soundtrack for the Fox television series, Beverly Hills, 90210; and "Come Correct", which was released independently in 1994. Owing to issues in her personal life, she left the music industry soon after.

In 2013, Kemp launched a Facebook page and YouTube channel containing new photography, uploads of vintage material, and teasers to a new track called "Water." In 2014 and 2015, Kemp revealed in interviews that she was working on new material. In April 2016, Kemp released "Paris in Spring" (featuring D'wayne Wiggins), her first single in 22 years, as a charity single to benefit victims of the November 2015 Paris attacks.

In January 2021, Kemp revealed plans to independently release her shelved sophomore album and remastered versions of her 1991 singles. She is working with New York City-based Shakir Entertainment.

Q: Scroll With Curve Path In my app there is a menu which will be a scroll of Labels. I would like them to scroll vertically BUT on a arc. Here is an example:

http://s777.photobucket.com/user/appbeast/media/Applets-Favorites.mp4.html
I have created a demo, but its working on dragging up and down. not working while scrolling. I am sharing my demo code also. Demo Code
Any help will be appreciable guys.

A: Have you take a look at this tutorial? Rotating wheel control
Maybe yours is a special case

A: better use collection view or tableview...  and then transform cell according to visible index to give the effect of scroll...
https://github.com/bharath2020/UITableViewTricks

A: One of Apple's WWDC lectures, I think this one: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2014/235/ Advanced Scrollviews and Touch Handling Techniques covers using a UIScrollview's gesture recognizers in your own views to get the same touch and deceleration behavior that users have come to expect. The example had views moving in an arc, but it was an OpenGL 3D arc, like a carnival carousel.

But is the jeep supposed to be that big? i tot the tank was quite huge, about as wide as a bucue. And that it was only slightly larger than the ginn's footprint. Size isnt much of an issue tho, so if its intended nvr md.
Edit: oh almost forgot...Thats a friggin' cool skin/model XD. Its great that you put so much effort into everything, not just the ms or ships, yeah.

... Not you too Bucky!?!
The screen shot isn't much of a tell to compaire Ginn to the jeep, but It might be alittle big.
I agree with the size issue. awsome work cant wait to see more.
Just wait till I'm done.
Thats a sick screenshot infinity. Best one ive seen yet.
That screen shot just made the wait for the next release unbearable.
Forgot to post the reworked Buster to go with the fixed up duel, let me know how I did sykes.
Great job infinity. Much improved over the old one.
Refering to the screenshot: O. M. G. Looks great!
Refering to the Buster Pic: Sweet Sweet Sweet....Nice Job.
Btw, i withdraw the jeep looks big comment. It looks fine in the screenie. Its the tank thats too small, i think.
A.The Jeep is indeed a little too big but scaleing it is 1 line of code so thats easy.
B.The tank is still a hair too small.
C.I found out later that my Buster/MS Moving truck was scaled much bigger then it was suposed to be. About 1.5x the scale of the Ginn.
Good Lord those are some wicked looking screens! i got to go buy EAW for this mod. good luck guys and keep up the great work.
I woundnt ask that if I were you.
although if you want something new for now look at Inf's new avartar, that should satisfy you for now right?

The queries work well but according to my cloud database provider they recommending btree indexes for better memory and disk usage.
Do I have any other options/configurations or way to create indexes that don't use a lot of disk + memory? I have about 40 full text indexes per database that follow a similar pattern. Performance is great with these indexes and has really sped up product.
Is Innodb full text designed to use a lot of memory + disk? Here is my mysql variable settings
https://gist.github.com/blasto333/aa4241a4e37447961188356719ea6984
Here are some stats from my provider
Upon review was getting an idea of the actual data set size as stored within InnoDB.  It was a bit of a surprise when I found your dataset size much smaller than your on disk usage as listed below:
Such a discrepancy between the on disk and tablespace usage had me concerned initially that we had something orphaned, such as old temp tables, but later found this was being caused by a heavy usage of InnoDB Full Text indexes.
PHP-POS-DB-01
  On Disk:                              18GB
  Total DataSet Size:                   4.56GB
  Unused allocated Tablespace:          3.10GB  ## Fragmentation
  Total innodb used plus fragmentation: 7.66GB

PHP-POS-DB-2-01
  On Disk:                              9.7G
  Total DataSet Size:                   923.85MB
  Unused allocated Tablespace:          363.00MB
  Total innodb used plus fragmentation: 1.29GB

A: first_name has one word, correct?  FULLTEXT(first_name) is not a use case for that type of indexing.  I recommend you use simpleINDEXes` for any simple columns.
This works very efficiently, probably faster than anything that could be done with FULLTEXT:
WHERE last = 'Muench' AND first LIKE 'C%'
INDEX(last, first)

You might still want FULLTEXT(first, last, email, phone) for handling the case where any of those might be entered.  (However, it is unclear whether this is a good use case.)
Meanwhile, don't blindly use (255) for all string columns; use sensible limits.
It is often wise to have the UI construct the WHERE clause based on what the user does/doesn't supply.  In your case, this might include switching between MATCH..AGAINST, =, and LIKE, maybe even REGEXP.
You could also look for @ to discover emails, all-digits to discover phones, etc., thereby avoiding searching lastname for foo@bar.com.
As an alternative, you could add an extra column that contains all the 'words' for name, email, etc.  Then have a single FULLTEXT index on that one column; no need for 40.  The drawback is the need to maintain this redundant info.  With a new enough MySQL or MariaDB, it could be a 'generated' column.


Overview: Friday, July 26th through Monday, July 29th // Northern New Mexico & Southern Colorado // 4 Days & 3 Nights // Approximate Route Distance: 250-Miles // Approximate Elevation Range: 6,500 to 12,500 ft. // NMBR's wild and spectacular New Mexico to Colorado overland traversal route. Areas of exploration will include Sangre de Christo Mountains, Taos Plateau, San Luis Valley, San Juan Mountains, and Continental Divide.
The Experience: This July, New Mexico Backroads will be guiding a four-day expedition that captivates the best of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado's backcountry. A route and experience five years in the making, the River to the Sky Expedition charts the Rio Grande River's path from the Taos Plateau to its headwaters high above tree line. Landscape features will include high desert, chaparral, dense forest, and alpine with elevations ranging from 6,500 to 12,500-feet. Areas of exploration will include Great Divide Trail (sections), Sangre de Christo Mountains, Taos Plateau, San Luis Valley, and San Juan Mountains. Road types and conditions will include washboards, two tracks, primitive non-maintained, graded, mountain shelf, dirt byway, and (least of all) pavement.
The RTS will provide outstanding views, an incredible range of scenery, backcountry camping, and aggressive elevation contours. Please note: Due to the vast amount of terrain that must be covered during the RTS, this expedition is geared towards overlanders that "drive to thrive"—meaning the trip will feature long drive days, widely varying road types/conditions, and minimal instruction/education sessions. For those individuals seeking an overland experience provides more skills training and educational content, NMBR's Gila Overland, Gila Legends Expedition, Overland Training, and Camino del Tesoro may provide better suited options.
Where, When & Pricing: The River to the Sky Expedition will take place Friday, July 26th through Monday, July 29th, 2019. Participants will meet the morning of Friday, July 26th in northern New Mexico; the exact departure location and details will be provided during the registration process. The RTS will conclude in Silverton, Colorado. Pricing for single driver (single participant) is $739.00 (plus tax). Pricing for each additional participant in vehicle (passengers, second drivers, minors) is $589.00 (plus tax). Please note: Due to the remote setting of NMBR's overland and expedition traversal routes, services of any kind, including cell, fuel, food, water, resupply, and/or medical services may be unavailable for stretches of 150-miles or more (if re-routes occur).
Planning & Preparations: The River to the Sky Expedition will require participants to be self-supportive with regards to vehicle, equipment, meals, and supplies. Services or re-supply of any kind, including cell signals, fuel, food, water, or anything remotely civilized, will be unavailable for stretches of up to 150 miles or more (if re-routes occur). Go Boldly with NMBR - Over the past decade, NMBR has written a series of informative overland travel-based articles (NMBR's Field Preparedness Manual) with topics ranging from field kit assembly, to vehicle maintenance and upkeep, to equipment and gear advice.
These articles, paired with extensive checklists and instructions, are provided to registered participants as a solid foundation for what to expect, how to prepare, and what to bring for the adventure. During the RTS pre-trip planning and preparation period, NMBR will be available to provide expert opinions and feedback to registered participants for any questions or concerns related to getting ready and gearing up for the adventure. The self-sufficient aspect of NMBR guided expeditions, overland adventures, and training courses challenges and prepares participants for their future 4WD based endeavors—to go boldly, prepared, and with confidence.
Register: Ready for your next great adventure? If you are interested in joining the River to the Sky Expedition, or would like to receive extended details for the tour, please email NMBackroads@gmail.com and additional driver/equipment requirements and registration information will be provided.


Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been used for more than 70 years, yet it remains one of the most controversial treatments used in psychiatry.
Despite most psychiatrists advocating its use, there remains a great deal of public concern about ECT's continued use.
It is the case however that stopping the use of ECT would deprive certain patients of a potentially effective treatment, which in certain circumstances may be life saving.
ECT involves placing an electrical pulse to the patient's head, causing a carefully controlled fit or seizure.
The treatment is performed under full general anaesthetic, so that the patient is unaware of the seizure. A muscle relaxant is also given to reduce the shaking movements and prevent injury.
The treatment is usually given twice a week.
A course of ECT usually comprises between 6 and 12 treatments.
Most people are hospitalised for the duration of treatment though it is possible to receive ECT as an outpatient.
ECT arose from many different observations, including doctors realising that patients with epilepsy and depression tended to be less depressed after having a fit or seizure.
Depression is caused by a fall in some brain chemicals and ECT appears to increase these brain chemicals.
The precise way in which ECT works remains unknown, but it's no less effective for this.
ECT is actively considered as a treatment in severely depressed patients when other forms of medication have either not worked or have caused unbearable side-effects, or will not help the patient quickly enough (for example if the person is not eating and drinking or is severely suicidal).
ECT has been used as a treatment for schizophrenia and mania in the past. But it's only occasionally used for these conditions today.
ECT is no more dangerous than minor surgery under general anaesthetic, which has a death rate of approximately 1 in 10,000.
It's performed under the care of an anaesthetic consultant or specialist, who administers the general anaesthetic and monitors the patient during the procedure.
Many patients report patchy but persistent memory loss just before and during ECT treatment. There's no good evidence of long-term memory problems following ECT however.
Many people experience confusion on waking up from the anaesthetic, but this clears within a few hours.
The ability to learn new information is impaired for several weeks after ECT treatment, but does return to normal over time.
Some people suffer from headaches and muscle aches straight after treatment and these respond well to common painkillers, such as paracetamol.
Does ECT cause lasting brain damage?
The amount of electricity applied to the scalp and the lesser amount that reaches the brain is too small to cause lasting brain damage.
Researchers specifically looking for evidence of brain damage have not found any.
Furthermore, people who suffer from epilepsy and have fits spontaneously (under much less carefully controlled conditions) do not develop lasting brain damage unless the fits are prolonged.
A doctor cannot just decide to give a patient ECT.
Any patient, who is well enough, will have the procedure explained to them and will be asked to give written consent (permission) to treatment.
This consent can be withdrawn at any time and the treatment will be stopped.
Patients who are deemed too ill to give consent would still have the procedure explained to them, but a specially appointed independent doctor (who does not work with the doctor who is treating the patient) would be asked to give an opinion. If he considers ECT the most appropriate treatment this second doctor would effectively give consent on the patient's behalf.
Any person considering ECT should discuss it with their psychiatrist, who can answer their specific questions.
Despite the great deal of adverse publicity about ECT, it's a safe and effective treatment for severe depression and provides a welcome relief from the suffering caused by severe depression for many patients.


It's been so long since I've actually been able to start blogging about Tamagotchi and my life in general really. Its currently 17:23 and I'm at my boyfriends house waiting for him to finish work.
Theother day I was on Facebook and kept seeing the Tamagotchi Ancestors group posts and it was just giving me the feeling that I needed to hatch. I had attempted to hatch 2 Osutchi and Mesutchi pairs but they had been on pause for the last few weeks as I was busy with work. However that being said, I just unpaused and they are doing pretty well.
On my smoke and clear set, I have Obotchi and Ojotchi , for some reason Osutchi is 6 years old while Mesu is only 5 despite being hatched at the same time. They are both overweight at the moment but in time I will get this down.
On my blue and orange Osu and Mesu, they're also Obotchi and Ojotchi and they both read 5 years. Hopefully they'll change in the new few days, although I have a feeling they'll not change at the same time!
I also have my M!X going still, he's just like Kuchipatchi so I managed to mix and original character yay! Thats all for now. But I will be updating these sections a lot more in the upcoming weeks when I have time.

New GOP Golden
Boys Emerge
• Senators Rand Paul & Marco Rubio have much in common
By Michael Collins Piper
. If current hype in the media is to be believed, Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.) and Marco Rubio (Fla.) are now the biggest names fighting for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.
In a CPAC straw poll, Paul edged Rubio by a margin of 25-23 percent with former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Penn.) trailing far behind at 8 percent. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — who was not invited to CPAC — followed with 7 percent. Rep. Paul Ryan (Wisc.), the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate, got 6 percent, with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker at 5 percent. Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, newly elected Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin came in last.
The media coverage of Paul and Rubio is interesting and suggests that the two are really much alike, despite cosmetic differences.
While Paul is often presented as a more "independent" voice, in contrast to Rubio who has well-established GOP ties, both are described as tea party favorites. And yet, Paul has carefully groomed links to high ranking GOP functionaries who helped him win his Kentucky Senate seat in 2006.
And despite the fact that within the tea party movement there is a stark (though little-noticed) divide over foreign policy, the two senators are closer than people realize.
Many tea party enthusiasts strongly support U.S. military ventures abroad, seeing America as a needed force for establishing a good, solid world order under what's called "American exceptionalism" — that's the New World Order — but many tea party folks don't realize that. Rubio touts American exceptionalism, but Paul has expressed concerns (like his father, retired Rep. Ron Paul) about an over-reaching military presence around the globe.
At the same time, however, the media praises Paul, saying he stands in stark contrast — often described as "refreshing"—to his father who is cast as a likeable, though somewhat kooky, extremist. The media says Paul can reach a more broad-ranging GOP audience than his father ever could.
What's more, the media gloats, Paul is reaching out to Israel and its influential supporters in America, which Rubio has already done during his fast rise to the top. And as leading neoconservative guru Frederick Kagan has noted, Paul does not differ from the neocons when it comes to Israel's primary present concern: a nuclear-armed Iran.
While his own father was still running for president and criticizing bellicose voices urging U.S. and Israel military action against Iran, the younger Paul was voting for provocative measures against the Islamic republic, echoing rhetoric about Islamic extremism, akin to that of neocon power broker Norman Podhoretz who says America is now engaged in its "third world war" — against Islam.
For his own part, Rubio — the child of Cuban immigrants — is in trouble with many conservatives concerned about his immigration "reform" proposals many see as opening the door for legalization of millions of illegal immigrants now in America.
Likewise, libertarian conservatives — which Paul is — have been historically friendly toward "open borders." Where Paul will stand on this issue, remains to be seen. However, he has talked about it in a manner that leaves many hard-line advocates of cracking down on illegal immigration a bit uneasy.
Meanwhile, according to The Washington Times — a beacon of "official" conservative thought — a new consensus is emerging among those who attended CPAC 2013. In a front page story on March 15, the Times reported: "GOP leaders have decided it's time their party surmounts the immigration issue, embraces legalization and moves on." It added that a CPAC panel on immigration "was stacked with advocates for legalization of illegal immigrants — a stance that until recently has been a decidedly minority position within the GOP."
On the issue of "gay marriage" — which some prominent Republicans have endorsed — Paul and Rubio adopt a libertarian stance. Paul says he can envision reworking the tax code to permit homosexual couples to take advantage of tax benefits now available to heterosexual couples. Rubio told CPAC the proposed constitutional amendment defining marriage to be between a man and woman should be abandoned and that the issue should be left to the states (a position Paul's father took during his presidential campaign).

(Issue Number 13, April 1, 2013,
AMERICAN FREE PRESS)


Buffalo is widely recognized as a birthplace of American urban architecture, and the city is dominated by a landmark skyline of late-19th- and early 20th–century buildings as well as an extensive network of urban parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. But like other cities located in the so-called rust belt, that storied civic past has since given way to gradual disrepair. Recent efforts have restored some of Buffalo's architectural history, though with many downtown buildings still boarded up and a 1950s expressway coursing through the centre of Olmsted's sprawling Delaware Park, there remains a palpable sense that Buffalo is a city perpetually balanced between two worlds.
Ranging across 27 galleries and exhibition sites and featuring work by more than 100 artists, many of them Canadian, Beyond/In takes a snapshot view of art practices located within a 300-kilometre radius of Buffalo. Each venue is curated independently and with varying results, but the overall collaborative nature of the event is a model of institutional and international partnership worth noting.
Even before entering the Albright-Knox Art Gallery it's clear that many of the Beyond/In works gathered here are set up to cross wires between contemporary art and the gallery's pre-eminent collection of old master and abstract expressionist works. At the roadside entranceway to the gallery, the wry media critique of Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins' kinetic billboard and park bench sculpture, In Sit You, doubles for passing motorists as an unintentional but effective abstract art beacon. Inside, James Carl and Micah Lexier complement dedicated gallery installations of their work with subtle interventions on the permanent collection, including one of Carl's classically modelled Jalousie sculptures and a sequence of Lexier's trademark arrows. Buffalo artist Mark Shepherd's CCD-Me Not Umbrella (Sentient Survival Kit) further confuses the currents of an institutional art experience and spectactorship with a trio of real-time surveillance devices that transmit the movements of gallery viewers, complete with commentary, to a series of remote monitors. British artist Andy Goldsworthy measures the "disruption forced by season change" in video footage of a rainstorm sweeping across the gallery's marble-stepped former entrance and a work-in-process that will transport a set of boulders from the base of Niagara Falls to the gallery's back lawn, where they will be heated to create an elemental mist during the winter months.
New York City–based artists Mark Dion and Dana Sherwood's The Confectionary Wonders of Buffalo is sure to make a sharp material contrast to the primordial nature of Goldsworthy's boulders. Located in front of the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society (just across an expressway interchange from the Albright-Knox), the work is a collection of ornate cakes designed to mimic iconic architectural buildings from Buffalo's past and present. There's also a link here to the city's industrial history as a centre for flour and cake-mix production. Enclosed in a display vitrine that gives the work an appropriate museological edge, the cakes have been left by the artists to slowly decompose during the course of the exhibition. By the time Goldsworthy's boulders are in place, Dion and Sherwood's confectionary cityscape should be nicely rotted and collapsed.
Located in a former light-bulb factory, the Buffalo Arts Studio also touches on the uneasy charge between natural and man-made environments. In Hamilton-area art collective TH&B's (aka Simon Frank, Dave Hind, Ivan Jurakic and Tor Lukasik-Foss) Swarm, the top half of a full-scale, transformer-equipped utility pole has been infected with an insect-like massing of burrs. In their site-specific installation Hive, burrs are tightly packed into a corner of the gallery's electrical utility room. Both offer a clever collision of organic and electric realities brought to life with the static hum of raw power. That same pulse of dangerous beauty appears in Steadfast, a digitally enhanced video work by New York artist Phil Hastings that captures the hypnotic threat of crashing waves and ice in a mid-winter storm on Lake Erie.
Canadian curator and "Beyond/In" project director John Massier delivers the perspective-bending paradox of explosive power and captured energy in his exhibition at Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center. Enclosed within a purpose-built room in the gallery, Daniel Young and Christian Giroux's video installation 50 Light Fixtures from Home Depot knocks viewers' impressions of light, space and mass production off balance in a mind-bending sequence of generic ceiling lamps and light fixtures brilliantly lit in a similarly white-walled room. Buffalo art duo Virocode (Peter D'Auria and Andrea Mancuso) take equal measure of the fleeting presence of time and space in their slow-motion video projection of exploding water balloons, Evolving Moisture. And finally, Buffalo artist Ben Van Dyke's installation literally explodes the printed word and communication strategies in a typographically based installation spread across the gallery's walls.
There's plenty more to be seen in Beyond/In, and through all of the exhibition sites this notion of "Alternating Currents" manages not only to engage the diversity of art practices on both sides of the border, but also to send viewers' thoughts constantly back to the charged history and uncertain future of the city itself.

Honors dean to retire after 35 years at UT
December 17, 2012 | News, UToday, — Languages, Literature and Social Sciences, Honors
By Jon Strunk
For the last seven years, Dr. Tom Barden has helped create the strongest academic experience for UT's best and brightest students and led efforts to elevate the Honors Program to become the Honors College.
Dr. Tom Barden, dean of the Honors College, recently received a plaque from the Honors Student Council and college faculty and staff members in recognition of his dedication and service. He posed for a photo with Honors Student Council members, from left, Eddie Cosma, Joe Knaggs, Michael Baker, Taylor Browning, Nicole Sherry, Zachary Reaver and Brock Wysong.
The dean of the Honors College and professor of English will step down as head of the college in December and, following spring semester, he will retire with 35 years of service to UT after having spent thousands of hours helping countless students across the University meet their potential.
"I can hardly express how satisfying this job has been for me," Barden wrote to honors students, faculty, alumni and friends in the most recent Honors College electronic newsletter. "To my thinking, it is simply the best position a professor can have. It has been such a privilege to work with some of our brightest and best faculty and most talented and dedicated students.
"Our goal as professors is to guide students to become critical thinkers, clear and precise writers, effective researchers and creators, ethically and socially aware citizens, and nuanced appreciators of science, history, literature, language and the arts. And working with all of you … for the past almost seven years, has brought me as close to that ideal as I have ever been," he wrote.
Barden will continue in his role as editor of The University of Toledo Press and will return to the classroom to teach a graduate seminar on John Steinbeck during spring semester. Earlier this year, Barden published Steinbeck in Vietnam, a complete collection of the dispatches American novelist John Steinbeck wrote as a war correspondent for Newsday magazine.

Висота — геометричне поняття, відстань по вертикалі.

Геометричне поняття
 Висота — відстань від основи предмета до найдальшої точки його вгорі по вертикалі.
 Простір на великій віддалі від землі.
 Частина земної поверхні, вища від навколишнього терену. Височина.
 Висота (трикутника) — перпендикуляр, опущений з вершини фігури на його основу.
 у астрономії — кут між площиною горизонту і напрямком на світило.

Фільми
 Висота — радянський фільм режисера Олександра Зархі (1957 р.)
 Висота — канадський фільм жахів 2010 року.
 Висота — американський фільм 2017 року.

Приклади
Висота відносна, ('англ. relative height, relative altitude) — різниця абсолютних висот будь-якої точки земної поверхні відносно іншої точки. Наприклад, висота гірської вершини над рівнем найближчої долини. В.в. відраховується від середньої рівневої поверхні, проведеної через довільний пункт, висота якого приймається рівною нулю; при цьому не враховується реальне гравітаційне поле сили тяжіння Землі.

Висота гідравлічного стрибка, (англ. height of hydraulic jump) — різниця спряжених глибин для гідравлічного стрибка, що утворюється в горизонтальному руслі.

Висота капілярного підняття, (англ. height of capillary rise) — перевищення поверхні менісків (або меніска) для певного пористого тіла (або певної капілярної трубки), що мають необмежені висоти й утворені із змочуваних матеріалів, над горизонтальною площиною, проведеною в середині рідини, яка перебуває у стані спокою (в середовищі атмосферного тиску) і в кожній точці якої абсолютний гідростатичний тиск дорівнює атмосферному.

Висота нормальна, (англ. standard height) — абсолютна висота, яка дорівнює відстані від даної точки до поверхні квазігеоїда. При визначенні цієї висоти приймають нормальний розподіл прискорення сили тяжіння по прямовисній лінії між даною точкою і середньою рівневою поверхнею. Нормальна висота даної точки може відрізнятися від висоти ортометричної на 2 м. Поблизу середньої рівневої поверхні нормальні висоти дорівнюють ортометричним і наближеним абсолютним, а поверхні геоїда і квазігеоїда збігаються.

Висота ортометрична, -(англ. orthometric height) — абсолютна висота, яка дорівнює відстані від даної точки до поверхні геоїда. Для визначення цієї відстані необхідно знати прискорення сили тяжіння по прямовисній лінії між даною точкою і поверхнею геоїда. Визначити його для точок, розташованих на високих рівнях, без проведення спеціальних дорогих робіт неможливо, тому практично ортометричні висоти можуть бути отримані тільки для точок, розташованих на середній рівневій поверхні. Для таких точок ортометричні висоти дорівнюють нормальній і наближеній абсолютній висотам.

Висота п'єзометрична, (англ. piezometric head) — відношення
р /q·g, де р — тиск; q — густина рідини; g — прискорення вільного падіння.

Висота поверху (вертикальна), (англ. level height) — у гірництві — відстань по вертикалі між проєкціями на вертикальну площину транспортного та вентиляційного штреків даного поверху. На відміну від похилої вертикальна висота поверху — величина постійна і не залежить від гіпсометрії пласта.

Висота приладу, (англ. device height) — відстань по вертикалі від геодезичної чи маркшейдерської точки до осі обертання труби приладу, встановленого в робоче положення над чи під цією точкою.

Висота рівня, (англ.'' altitude) — різниця між геодезичною висотою розглядуваної точки і площиною відліку по вертикалі вгору.

"Phone rings, door chimes, in comes company," Stephen Sondheim wrote about being with others. This week, we look at some musical company you might want to invite in this summer. They say we're known by the company we keep, and these CDs are keepers. Romance, comedy and new-to-our-ears theater songs are always welcome company around here. We start with a CD by a singer who has a different duet partner on each track, so he has plenty of company. In fact, he has his own record company, too.
LEE LESSACK
LML Music
Lee Lessack began LML Records ten years ago this month to distribute his own recordings, but he soon had a roster of singers on the label. He has invited a few of them and a whole lot of other colleagues to duet with him on In Good Company. There are 17 duets in all, and he is indeed in good company.
Although most of the songs celebrate love in its happier, heartbreak-free chapters, the album is not completely filled with joyous celebratory singing. The feeling on most of the tracks is rather gentle, with the singers sounding extraordinarily thoughtful, hushed and awestruck by the experience of love. There's a wide-eyed, pensive examination of the emotions at hand in many of the moods. You won't be snapping your fingers or laughing, but it's a smooth glide of a ride.
Perhaps the most impressive thing about the project is how well and successfully Lee harmonizes with such a wide variety of vocalists. The harmonies are often exquisite and graceful, and he seems more than willing to share the spotlight at each turn. There is tremendous respect for the songs; in fact, at times I wish they'd have been less "careful" and just cut loose a little. Some of this feels very studied and not very spontaneous. Although most of the singing is lovely, there's a sense of walking on eggshells rather than jumping in - but I'd much rather have careful singing than careless singing.
I've always been a fan of Lee's solo albums. His live Johnny Mercer album is buoyant and loose, and overflowing with songs, though he seems to favor a more delicate approach. Some of his high-voiced, emotionally naked interpretations on his first two albums are arresting, and he's not shy when it comes to being a romantic.
Singer-songwriter-musician Johnny Rodgers, whose own debut album is about to be released, deserves a lot of the credit here. He and his band do a terrific job accompanying the singers, as do the five additional musicians (Tom Harrell on brass and four string players). Johnny is also co-producer, along with Lee. Johnny's duet with Lee is a song he co-wrote as a tribute to Simon and Garfunkel ("Here's to You"), and it's a remarkable achievement. The song captures the essence of the team's appeal with specific lyric references to their songs and melodic bits and arrangement touches that echo their trademark sound without being pure pastiche or a musical Xerox. This would be enough to make it my personal favorite, but add to that the fact that Johnny and Lee also channel the icons' vocal sound without attempting to do an impersonation.
I'm also especially fond of the duet with David Burnham (the Everly Brothers hit, "Devoted To You"). David is currently the understudy to the male lead in A Light In The Piazza and his gloriously gorgeous voice soars. The album spends considerable time revisiting pop material that is well-trod and very much in the air (meaning radio airwaves or what were then smoke-filled cabaret rooms) in the late '60s through the '80s. For example, "Open Arms" with Brian Lane Green (in one of the more energetic numbers, making the most out of this old pop tidbit) and Amanda McBroom on her own claim-to-fame "The Rose." But there are some less familiar and newer offerings as well, including two first recordings of songs (in addition to "Here's To You").
Each listener will have different favorites, but I can't find a dud in the lot. Michael Feinstein stops by for a Susan Werner song, "May I Suggest," and that songwriter duets on her own "Blue Guitar." If played when you're in the mood for something to wash over you rather than to get your blood pounding, it's a sweet summer afternoon's hammock listening. If you don't have a hammock, use your imagination.
Broadway doesn't get much attention here, but lovers of Wicked will be happy to hear "For Good" as one of the choices, and especially interested to hear who the duet partner is: the writer of the song, Stephen Schwartz. Also on board are some familiar musical theater names: Susan Egan, Maureen McGovern and a welcome surprise, Ken Page, who does a laudable job with Lee on Don McLean's "Vincent." Romance is good company, especially when virtually devoid of tragedy and tears as it is this time. Lee Lessack with good friends and good blends adds up to good company for him and us as well.
MARC BLITZSTEIN CENTENNIAL CONCERT
This is not an album for casual listening. Like most of what composer and sometime-lyricist Marc Blitzstein has written, it's serious stuff, requiring thought and attention. That's not to say there won't be a smile here and there, but it will be a smile that comes from thinking. Blitzstein wrote operas, choral music, art songs, poems, and various odds and ends. He had a strong social conscience which infiltrated much of his work, including a lot of what is heard on this 100th anniversary celebration. It's not just one concert, but rather selections from a few concerts over the last year or so. Also included is a long section from a 1970 performance.
As a fan of his theater scores The Cradle Will Rock, Regina and especially Juno (as well as his adaptation of The Threepenny Opera), I was interested in hearing this album which boasts some never-before-recorded items. Blitzstein is an important figure in music, and one whose work can be intense and will never be described as fluffy or light. Some of it I confess I admire more than love. That remains true for what I've discovered here, and it's interesting without being fascinating. This is an odd collection that may be too esoteric for many theater fans and not the kind of thing you want to hear all the time, but not something that can be dismissed.
Leonard Lehrman is the force behind this labor of love. He completed some of Blitzstein's work that had been left unfinished, adapted other pieces here, and wrote some of the lyrics. He's also on piano and participates as a performer. He is co-producer of this album, along with Original Cast Records owner Bruce Yeko, the otherwise unsung song's best friend. This album is one of Original Cast's most recent search-and-rescue discoveries of buried treasures.
Some of the singing voices and performance styles on this album are not my cup of tea. But it's pretty strong tea. The sound quality of some tracks leaves something to be desired. I found myself straining to catch the words, and feeling like I had something a few steps above a bootleg tape. I would have preferred that these songs were given the studio treatment with other singers, although I understand the historic pull of a centennial concert. Almost all the applause is cut out, so there isn't a "live" feel. The work is mostly formal and the accompaniment is, too, with this feeling like a time capsule or a yellowed page from a history book.
There's a wide variety of material here, including settings of three Walt Whitman poems and one by Dorothy Parker, "War Song." Pretty impressive company, that! There are three premiere recordings from Blitzstein's stage work Idiots First and a broad comedy song cut from Reuben, Reuben. Three selections from his opera on the politically charged Sacco And Vanzetti case, which was completed by Lehrman, are also present. The 1970-recorded segment is from a piece about a composer called I've Got The Tune and is a healthy sampling of the piece, including dialogue. Though lengthy, it is still a challenge to appreciate out of context and, like other items, might require more detailed notes. The album concludes with a recently discovered recording of Blitzstein singing "The Nickel Under The Foot" from The Cradle Will Rock, which is dramatic and well worth hearing.
If your taste veers toward the more operatic or have a special interest in material with social commentary, this will pique your curiosity.
THE ROAD TO RUIN
STUDIO CAST
If you're looking for a happy side trip with company that won't soon wear out their welcome, try a wild and wacky ride down The Road To Ruin. This new musical has had a couple of readings and is ready to hit the road. This studio cast album has some of the performers from the readings on board: theater veteran and longtime audience favorite George S. Irving (going back to 1948's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and so much more) has in his bag of tricks just the right take on this material, which requires tongue firmly placed in cheek. He plays a few broadly comic roles and is pure delight with his rolling Rs and, wide schmaltzy vibrato and more talent than performers one-quarter his age. The lusciously voiced Brooke Sunny Moriber (The Wild Party) shares the ingenue role with another charmer, Stephanie Kurtzuba. The role is a good girl gone bad.
The show is based on a silent movie intended to be a cautionary tale for teens about the dangers of a poorly-chosen life where one false turn can lead you down that road to ruin. Sebastian Arcelus is a great golly-gee-whiz type of wide-eyed suitor and does a splendid job, even in a song that lasts all of 53 seconds. Contrastingly, a 13-minute number at the end is a mini-musical in itself, with every bit of a classic melodrama's cornball fun not already covered in the previous 16 songs. Ann Morrison (played the original Mary of Merrily We Roll Along) is back after too long an absence from cast albums in a splashy, showy role as an enterprising Madam.
This parody of "cautionary" teen exploitation movies doesn't go so far into the world of "camp" as to run out of steam. The evils of pleasure are sung about with gusto, as if the do-gooders want us to know that if you take the road to ruin you may regret having to pay the toll. It's good, clean, silly-but-clever fun put together by composer-lyricist-book writer William Zeffiro, who takes a few turns at the mic as well, and is also on piano. There's no band, but for a change that's okay. He knows how to set a mood and keep things going, adding touches of silent-movie music and sparkle. Zippy Zeffiro does very well by some brassy characters, lots of irreverence without being mean-spirited. And the rhymes are creative and/or ridiculously cute. (When a character lies near death, someone croons, "If only you'd been more wary there'd be no coronary.")
This show, somewhat in the tradition of Little Shop Of Horrors, Zombie Prom and Zanna, Don't! has a fine company of performers and has entertainment pure and simple as its mission. With sung references to bobbed hair and Mah'Jong and being a "nice" girl, it succeeds. The music evokes the 1920s without letting itself get trapped in period nostalgia. Gosh, it's fun!
It's a pleasure each week to let you know about a CD that has slipped in under the radar, quietly, but deserves a look and a listen:
DEBRA WAGONER
THE HOPEFUL ROMANTIC
This is a sweetheart of a CD. Debra Wagoner is very happy romantic company in her album The Hopeful Romantic and the title gives you the idea that she likes to be in the company of love songs. The songstress has a warm, rich voice and presence. She's instantly likeable and unpretentious. Debra makes you comfortable, maybe because she sounds at ease with herself and the material. Opening her debut album with a bare-bones piano intro and a very thoughtfully phrased "Love Is Here To Stay," she caresses the Gershwins' melody and words. Once she accomplishes the goals of displaying her wares and letting us luxuriate in her honey voice and time-tested lyrics, unfurling them in conversational slow mo, she switches gears. Before more of this treatment could risk making herself or the listener complacent, the rhythm kicks in and she turns up the heat and the beat. Debra is a musical theater actress living in Virginia and performing around the country in lead roles. The album has a definite theatricality and naturally includes a few songs she did onstage. There's a lot of feeling coming through and it feels genuine, not showboating.
She's been Cinderella in Into the Woods, so she takes on "No One Is Alone" which sits well in her voice. Communicating a sense of comfort, a big part of the agenda of this number, comes through well. The high point of the album for me is Jeanine Tesori's and Brian Crawley's "Lay Down Your Head." If a lullaby can be said to be powerful, this is it. The song is from the musical Violet, another show she has performed, and she gets right inside the heart and soul of it. Debra is not afraid to be open emotionally or to open her mouth and wail.
Most of the other choices are standards that have been done by countless singers ("My Funny Valentine," "It Had To Be You" and the like, but I like). Without Debra and her arranger-pianist Ron Barnett doing fancy tricks with these warhorses, they are still pleasures. She certainly doesn't sound like she's bored with them, and she brings sincerity to the table. Her pianist plays sparely most of the time, giving her plenty of room to interpret, pause and do her effective rubato thing. Now and then the musicians (add bass and drums) get to swing and bring up the energy level, and generally the pacing is good. Fortunately, not every song follows the same formula of "start slow and build, build, build." A couple of tracks suffer from a lack of dramatic point of view or sound overly influenced by famous recordings of the songs in both phrasing and arrangement.
Three Harold Arlen melodies are here, worthy additions to the bandwagon in the composer's centennial year where we find a wealth of new recordings. His most famous song, "Over The Rainbow" is present, with the introductory verse. Debra has a sweet but not at all cloying quality of girlishness in her singing persona and naturally it comes out in full on this. Another Arlen-E. Y. Harburg classic, "Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe," is especially well done and will strike you as coming from the heart even before you peek at the liner note thank-yous (or her website www.debrawagoner.com) and find out that this Hopeful Romantic's husband is named Joe. The third Arlen standby is "Come Rain Or Come Shine" and it has more of a pulse than some of the versions I've heard lately.
The best thing about this new album is that it introduces us to a singer who is rewarding to hear whether she's wrapping you up in warm, relaxed tones or belting a big finish. The clips you can hear on CD Baby by clicking on the cover above will let you sample less of the power and more of the pretty, but it's a pretty good start. Likewise, this album is a good start for a performer I'm glad to discover with you.
There are more discs and discoveries each Thursday here, so we hope you'll be checking in. We'll be listening for you.

Today, I want to talk to you about something that is near and dear to my heart. That is SHELTER PETS! Although I was not adopted from the shelter, I have plenty of friends who were adopted from rescues or shelters. Their new pet parents love and care for them and have given them a wonderful new home!
November is "Adopt a Senior Pet" month. I know you may THINK you want a cuddly kitten or a fluffy puppy, but when you think about it, maybe you really want a Senior Pet. Senior pets have lots of experience giving love. They know what they like and all of them would like a nice loving home. Senior pets are already potty trained and they (probably) won't chew up your new shoes like a puppy would! They are soft and cuddly and calm enough to sit with you while you are sick or snuggle with you when you've had a rough day! Senior pets are da bomb!
So, while I've got your ear – you should go by the shelter Saturday November 11, Nov 18, or Dec 2 to check out the adoptable senior pets. While you are there, have your pets professionally photographed with Santa thanks to 4Paws Mississippi and help even more pets find their furever homes.


The Les Paul Traditional 2017 T is a trip back in time to the Les Paul's golden era. A Les Paul inspired by the legendary late '50s Les Pauls, with all the benefits of modern-era Gibsons. From a distance-with its Traditional features and accurate Grade-AA maple top on a solid mahogany body-this Les Paul could be mistaken for a guitar kept under the bed since 1959. Get closer, though, and the magic reveals itself! Once in your hand, Les Paul Traditional 2017 T unveils subtle but incredibly significant advances: rolled binding, polished frets, and a rounded neck profile make this guitar extremely comfortable to play. Wired ABR and aluminum stop-bar with steel posts deliver incredible resonance and sustain, while the Burstbucker 1 and Burstbucker 2 humbuckers with Orange Drop tone caps crank out dynamic, expressive PAF-inspired tones. Put it all together, and it's a superb take on the best of Les Paul models past, made for today's demanding player. It is delivered in a classic Gibson brown hardshell case with a Gibson multi-tool, a premium leather strap and a polishing cloth.
Special electronics:Hand-wired with orange drop capacitors.

Silly season – great game

No Comments on Silly season – great game
UNC 80-69 over NC State
Silly season is always open on social media. Sports rivalries only add content. That's what you would expect if you picked up a Twitter feed or fan sites sharing thoughts about Saturday's game between North Carolina and NC State. Leaky Black committed a foul on Terquavion Smith in the second half of the game that officials thought necessitated him being disqualified.
Video shows Smith jumping and extending above Black's attempted block and (natural) downward movement causes Black's hand to hit Smith in the face. I do not believe there was any intent to harm Smith. Black has never been that type of player. This is a long-standing rivalry between local schools that has almost always been a tough, physical game, even when the scores were not close. But the games between these two teams are not usually dirty, and that was not the case this time. Hubert Davis and Kevin Keats are both passionate about their teams and seem to care about their players. I have never witnessed either employing dirty play or allowing players on the court that intentionally harm an opponent. Both teams play tough, but they play the right way.
UNC won this one their way. Coming into the game, the Tar Heels lead the conference in getting to the free throw line and the Wolfpack put the opposing team on the line a lot. This did not change on Saturday. NC State made more field goals than UNC, but fouls put UNC in the bonus early in each half and the Tar Heels took advantage, making 36 of 39 from the line.
Overall, North Carolina finally played defense for a full game. RJ Davis and Black lead the way, but this was a very good team effort. NC State constantly hounded the UNC on defense, but simply committed too many fouls. Armando Bacot and Davis lead the offense for UNC. Bacot also passed Tyler Hansborough to become the all-time leading rebounder at for the Tar Heels. D.J. Burns was impressive for NC State with 18 points on 8-14 shooting. Jarkel Joiner also added 18 points for the Wolfpack.
Overall, this game was not pretty, but the intensity and crowd participation exceeded expectations for meetings between these local rivals.

Leaning on bench strength
No Comments on Leaning on bench strength
UNC improving rotation
A few weeks back I said D'Marco Dunn was North Carolina's 2nd best defensive player and messaged that I liked the way he was playing. Response: "Hmm…"
Bubble talk.
Since that time, Dunn has missed six games due to injury and returned to contribute over 17 minutes a game, shoot 61 percent from the field, 45 percent from three-point range and is perfect from the free throw line! He has also grabbed 8 rebounds and four steals since returning, while only committing three turnovers and showing his strength on defense. Dunn has clearly taken advantage of his time on the floor and is proving to be a valuable contributor for the Tar Heels.
Injuries force changes
Injuries to starters Pete Nance and Armando Bacot have forced Hubert Davis out of his seemingly too short substitution pattern and opened the floor to more playing time for players like Dontrez Styles. Up to the Louisville game, Styles had gotten less playing time than expected this year. Styles waited patiently for an opportunity to contribute. He did not disappoint on Saturday. Puff Johnson has also seen increased playing time and produced. Jalen Washington has been on the floor more recently and shown promise. While Seth Trimble, Justin McKoy, and Tyler Nickel have seen fairly regular playing time, each has limitations that have been a concern. Trimble and McKoy contribute nicely on defense but have shown limited abilities in providing consistent offense. Nickel has a reputation of being able to score, but struggles on defense, and has not scored enough consistently to offset his lack of defensive presence. Dunn, Styles, Johnson, and Washington have more range in their games to be able to hold up on both ends of the floor.
Every game offers different obstacles. The bottom line, as with any team, is UNC needs players with different strengths to win consistently against the multiple styles of play that they face each game. Players have to adjust within games, make plays and pay attention to how the game is being called. Coaches, including Davis and his assistants, have to do more than speak of the talents and abilities of players that are receiving limited playing time. They have to actually give those players real opportunities to deliver on the floor! Simply trust their own words. Substitution patterns and rotations naturally evolve throughout the season and more often, necessarily, within games. Confidently leaning more on the strengths of the bench will help this team perform more consistently like the team most expected when the season started.

Losing this way
North Carolina downed 77-65 at Indiana
Losing to undefeated Indiana on their home court shouldn't normally be treated as if it's the end of all hopes for the season. Instead, Hubert Davis and North Carolina have to treat this loss as the start of their season. Little more explanation is needed. The UNC team, with five experienced starters, simply looks unprepared to compete at a high level. I have to be even on praise and criticism. Starting at the top! Is the team unprepared or just incapable of working as a unit for more than a few plays each game? This should not be. Not with junior and senior starters that played in the championship game a few months ago. Where is the leadership on the floor? Where are the coaching adjustments? There is little need to drudge through the box score to discuss all that could have been. As bad as things seemed for UNC, much of the game was played with Indiana just a few points ahead. It's time for UNC to recognize that a game plan is needed to win. Now is the time to get a new game plan in place. Get to practice and let the next game be a fresh start to the rest of the season.
More than talent
UNC 102 – College of Charleston 86
Just waiting…
#1 North Carolina spent much of the first half of their second game of the season waiting for something to happen. Poor rebounding, a lack of aggression, and poor defense left the Tar Heels behind by 7 points at half-time. UNC seemed disinterested in playing on a Friday night. Charleston took full advantage of the Tar Heels' lackadaisical play. That all ended after the first-half buzzer. North Carolina imposed their will in the second half with improved defense and more aggression on offense, but the box score proves there's still work to be done. The Tar Heels simply coasted too much in the first half. Perhaps a few clips from the Saw or Escape Room movies at halftime helped the team realize that they are going to get chased and pushed all year. It will take more than talent to get to Houston. The second half against Charleston may have given us a promising glimpse of UNC's potential.
UNC was out-rebounded again. The most glaring part is Charleston grabbing 15 offensive rebounds. UNC only pulled 8 offensive rebounds.
The Tar Heels scored 102 points, but were only 5-20 on 3-pointers. Reader's choice on whether this is good or concerning.
Free-throw: 71% on 27-38 shooting, but 9-15 in the first half. Charleston was 66.7%, on 6-9 shooting.
Charleston took and made more field goals. 36-73. UNC 35-58.
Second-half shooting: UNC 71.4% Charleston 45.5% after shooting 52.5% in the first half. Charleston also went 6-14 on three's in the first half, but only 2-10 in the second.
NCAA Baseball Regionals
Fan's view. Stokley catches air.
North Carolina host teams had a good day on Friday as North Carolina won 15-4 over Hofstra and East Carolina ran away with Coppin St 17-1. Both teams play again at 7pm on Saturday. UNC will play VCU on ESPN+. ECU will play Virginia on ACCN.
Out at first.
Max Carlston pulled in the 6th inning.
Tossing one back!
East Carolina headed to NCAA Tournament
East Carolina University increased their nation-leading winning streak to 18 games with a 6-1 American Athletic Conference Tournament win over Houston. This is the first tournament championship for the Pirates since 2018. The championship also gives Cliff Godwin 300 coaching wins. The Pirates improved to 42-18. ECU also won the AAC regular season championship and will likely host a NCAA Baseball Regional. Look for updates at ecupirates.com
UNC WLAX National Champs
North Carolina closed on 4-2 scoring over ACC conference rival Boston College to win the 2022 Women's Lacrosse National Championship! The Tar Heels finish their first undefeated season in program history at 22-0, while winning their third NCAA championship (2013, 2016, 2022).
Duke softball on to Super Regional
On the way to first.
Who really thought Duke softball would advance to a Super Regional in the fifth year of fielding a team? The Blue Devils (44-9) came from behind to beat the Bulldogs (43-18) in the NCAA Softball Durham Regional on Sunday. The Bulldogs won game one 5-3 to force the elimination game.
Field view through the pines surrounding the Duke Softball Stadium
Georgia got off to a fast start scoring two times in the first inning, then scored three more runs in the second inning. Duke only scored once in the first inning but provided all of the offense after the third inning to earn a 13-5 win. The Blue Devils move on to face UCLA in the Los Angeles Super Regional on Friday and Saturday. Games will be televised on ESPN2.

North Carolina's basketball appears to be in a good hands! Playing for the national championship can change a team's outlook in a positive way. So can the current transfer rules which allow players to transfer one time without having to sit out a year. Even after a successful season, most D-1 teams can expect player movement. UNC is not exempt. I expected at least three and possibly four Tar Heel players to transfer. Dawson Garcia has already announced his intention to transfer after one season in Chapel Hill. The record will show that the team played better after Garcia's concussion then return home to attend to family concerns. Don't count that as a negative for Garcia. Things just did not work out as expected. The shortened line up was challenging but gave Brady Manek the opportunity to display his full capabilities.
Anthony Harris is also on the move after overcoming multiple injuries. Harris was playing more consistently and offering valuable time as a backup before his season ended after the fall academic period. No clarification was given as to why Harris was "unavailable" after Christmas. If Harris can remain injury-free, he may be a valuable contributor at his next stop. Check back for updates on who moves on and who returns to help UNC make the run to San Antonio in 2023.
