Yet another addition to my backpack is Eee pc. Its so small and light that I can carry it anywhere like a regular notebook.
Its 900gms with 4gb hd and 512 mb ram. The default OS is Xandros with KDE. It has all required software installed except scite (thats my default text editor). My usb modem is not working yet. The Xandros doesn't have wvdial installed. I need to install it.
It has 3 usb, one ethernet, wifi and memory card reader. The touch pad is not very sensitive it lags. The keyboard is small but enough for me.
All in all its worth 16k. We will have to wait until I complete my europe trip to get field results.
heya thej, feel free to hit me up anytime if you have any questions about the EEE PC. I've installed a few packages and they all work wonderfully. email me or DM me on twitter.
@nitaarvind if you dont need computing power house you can buy it. Its available at ezone and croma in Bangalore.

The repercussions of concussions on and off the field in the game of soccer
In All, Sports March 12, 2019 Leave a Comment
By Kyle Craib
The soccer is no stranger to criticism when talking about general physicality.
From players faking injuries after getting fouled to the doubt of a player's toughness, soccer players and fans alike are used to the idea that soccer is often viewed as a softer sport.
However, those assumptions couldn't be more wrong. Soccer is a contact sport. Slide tackles, mixed with a steady diet of stray elbows and headbutts, have the potential to cause head injuries in the blink of an eye.
Also, the notion that concussions in soccer happen only because of headers isn't necessarily true.
Actual contact between the ball and head account for only 10 per cent of all concussions in high school soccer, according to a 2015 study by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS).
Major injuries during games, especially to the head, are far more common than many people originally perceive and can present a serious risk to a player's brain in both the short and long term.
"When I had my last concussion, it amplified my vision problems"
This became a reality for former Ryerson Rams women's soccer forward, Emily Kananoja.
Kananoja experienced her first concussion after getting hit in the head by a corner-kick. The second came after she got tackled down and hit her head. After a long ball towards her head caused her third, she decided it was time to stop.
"After my last, I actually stepped away from the game…I just mentally could not put myself in a position to get another," she said.

According to AAOS, women's soccer outranked all other high school sports for having the highest percentage of concussion related injuries. Also, the study found that 27 per cent of all injuries in the sport were injuries to the head.
Kananoja is not alone. Five per cent of all soccer players will sustain a brain injury over their career, according to a 2019 report conducted by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Concussions can be especially difficult on athletes, as the symptoms not only affect them on the pitch, but also in the classroom.
"When I had my last concussion, it amplified my vision problems and now, I have [a hard time] concentrating and my eyesight gets blurry really quickly," added Kananoja.
Kananoja also says that she had headaches, which made it difficult to go to class and eventually caused her to miss school in her second year.
"We have immediate protocol to take the injured player out of the game"
The process of returning to school can be very difficult for athletes, especially because of the increasing severity of symptoms that come with each concussion. Ryerson athletics says it has done its part to set up academic accommodations to help those who may need extra time recovering from their injuries.
"For instance, if you get a concussion on Wednesday and then have to study for an exam on Friday when everything hurts and you can't focus, you certainly can't study," Ryerson manager of sport performance Brian Finniss said. "We will, of course, accommodate [each player] as needed."
The high concentration of these injuries is from the physical contact between players on the pitch, causing the brain to move at a very accelerated rate and potentially leading to an injury.
"We have immediate protocol to take [the injured] player out of the game soon as we are suspicious that a concussion has taken place, without question," said Ryerson men's soccer head coach Filip Prostran.
The time period to full recovery from the injury depends on its severity and can go on for months before all symptoms fully subside. These can include dizziness, headaches and blurred vision.
"During my first couple concussions, there was still not a ton of research on the subject…I was told to just turn off the lights and stay in a dark, silent room. It was very difficult for me, [especially] during the summer," added Kananoja.
Since then, however, the treatment has drastically changed to allow for much more activity during the recovery process.
"[Concussion protocol] is very individualized…recently, the experts globally have changed that procedure that encourages the player to get active soon after to monitor their levels and guide their recovery from this information," said Finniss.
Major sporting leagues where concussions are prominent (football, hockey, etc.) have recently made large advancements in the field of concussion prevention, including limiting contact with the head and issuing penalties and fines. With soccer, however, the answer may not be that simple.
Because of the wider impact of this injury for students, players are being taught at about the dangers of concussions in the game with the hopes of better protecting their brain for the classroom and the field.

Innovation, perseverance and close attention to customer needs have characterized Kennametal since its founding. In 1938, after years of research, metallurgist Philip M. McKenna created a tungsten-titanium carbide alloy for cutting tools that provided a productivity breakthrough in the machining of steel. "Kennametal®" tools cut faster and lasted longer, and thereby facilitated metalworking in products from automobiles to airliners to machinery. With his invention, Philip started the McKenna Metals Company in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Later renamed Kennametal, the corporation has become a world leader in the metalworking industry and remains headquartered in Latrobe.
McKenna Metal's first full-year sales, with a staff of 12 employees, totaled some $30,000. But World War II saw American heavy industry shift into high gear. Kennametal's annual sales approached $10 million and employment was nearly 900 as the company's tools were used extensively in the war-time economy.
When the wartime boom ended, Kennametal sought new ways to exploit the toughness and wear resistance of tungsten carbide alloys. In the mid-1940s, the company pioneered the use of carbide tooling for mining, which led to the development of the continuous mining machine. Kennametal also found uses for tungsten carbide in demanding specialty applications where resistance to wear was vital, such as in valves, dies, drill bits and snowplow blades.
Kennametal developed an international presence from the start. Philip sold early patent rights to British industrialists who later also began Kennametal of Canada. Exports through the company's first five years totaled more than $2.5 million, and by 1955 Kennametal had representation in 19 countries. The company's overseas manufacturing started in 1957 with a joint venture in Italy. A joint venture in the United Kingdom and a German sales subsidiary soon followed. Between 1972 and 1981, foreign sales grew from 17 to 34 percent of the total.
In 1993, Kennametal acquired Hertel AG, a tooling systems manufacturer headquartered in Fürth, Germany, with operations throughout Europe and worldwide. This enabled the corporation to compete more effectively in Western Europe, gain better access to emerging markets in Eastern Europe, and offer additional product lines in Asia Pacific. The Asia Pacific effort was further expanded to include manufacturing joint ventures for mining tools in China and a metalworking tool manufacturing plant in Shanghai. In 2002, Kennametal acquired Widia, a leading manufacturer and marketer of metalworking tools in Europe and India. Other acquisitions that expand Kennametal's capabilities to better serve its customers worldwide include Conforma Clad Inc., a leading provider of engineered components that deliver premium wear solutions, and Extrude Hone Corporation, a supplier of market leading engineered component process technology.
A Technological Leader
Kennametal was founded on the strength of a technological breakthrough, and a list of highlights demonstrates that it has continued to lead its industry in innovation.
In 1946, the company introduced the Kendex line of mechanically held, indexable insert systems that accelerated tool changing and increased machining precision.
Kennametal's unique, patented thermit process for producing impact-resistant macrocrystalline tungsten carbide today remains the best way to produce extremely tough tool materials for demanding applications such as mining.
In 1964, Kennametal introduced tungsten-carbide-tipped Kengrip tire studs. Although studs clearly contributed to safe winter travel, they became controversial amid speculation about their role in road deterioration. After legislation limited the use of carbide studs, Kennametal left the business in 1977.
Leader in the development of silicon-nitride based "sialon" ceramics for the machining of exotic aerospace materials.
First to develop cobalt-enriched substrates for coated inserts, was first to commercially introduce physical-vapor-deposition (PVD) coated cemented carbide cutting tools and created the first commercially viable diamond-coated carbide inserts.
Leader in the development of quick-change tooling systems that today lead the world in versatility, speed and accuracy.
Kennametal maintains its technological leadership through its $30-million Technology Center in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and complementary facilities in various locations around the globe. The facilities are dedicated to rapid development of products engineered to meet specific customer requirements.
Kennametal has been named a four-time best-practice partner for excellence in our world-class product development and portfolio management processes by the APQC, a non-profit organization and internationally recognized leader in benchmarking, knowledge management, measurement and quality programs.

Sports psychologist Webster says Windies has been unable to come out of time warp
Dubai, Tue, 01 May 2012 ANI
Dubai, May 1(ANI): Legendary sports psychologist Dr Rudi Webster, who is working as Kolkata Knight Ryders as mental skills coach this season, is not convinced that the West Indies has been able to come out of the time warp.
"There has been enough talent to be competitive, but the basic problem is people who are running the game there has got left behind. In the Asian region, there is lot more motivation for a youngster to take to the game and hence they have made so much progress," The Gulf News quoted him, as saying.
"If you look at their [West Indies'] pattern of play over the last 10 to 15 years, you will see that they have started to fancy themselves as losers because of a lack of self-belief. Hence, they have often ended up losing matches from winning positions," he added.
Dr Webster said that the dynamism of the Twenty20 format of cricket calls for tremendous self-belief for a player to perform well.
"Unlike the Test match or one-dayers, there is no scope for a team to recover even if there is a single bad over. Hence, the pressure level for a performer in a time span of three hours is really high," he added.
On being asked how different it had been for him to motivate cricketers for their national teams vis-a-vis the club outfits, as now in the Indian Premier League, he feels there is no difference in his approach.
"There is no difference between the two situations as long as you perceive the team under you as a group of people fighting the same battle," he said, adding that the philosophy that drives people in war is ultimately about fighting "for the bloke next to me".
He said he was fascinated to meet Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
"At one point, he says empty the mind of the trash and you will be amazed to see what you find there - this had been often the essence of the pep talk that I have given to some of the world-class performers," Dr Webster said. (ANI)

Action Comics #990 Review and *SPOILERS*
Family Squabble
Written By: Dan Jurgens
Art By: Viktor Bogdanovic, Trevor Scott, Scott Hanna, Mike Spicer, Rob Leigh
The Oz Effect continues in this issue and hopefully we'll see Superman do more than go around the world and try to stop humanity from being the pieces of shit that Mr. Oz/Jor-El knows them to be....... I won't hold my breath though. Yeah, I haven't been the biggest fan of this arc because we started off with the reveal of who Mr. Oz was and it may not be the best way to argue why it was good or bad, but I just wasn't a fan........ because I didn't like it. With that, we moved on to see the people of Earth doing terrible things from the suggestions of the Agents of Oz and in the previous issue, we saw Jor-El reach out to Jon so that he can get his grandson on the trolley of leaving Earth and going to a better planet, where he can finally just be himself. Let's jump into this issue and see if Jon's ready to pack his bags or not. Let's check it out.
Explain It!:
Our issue begins with more of the same, where Superman is off saving people, before trying to get the leader of Logamba and the leader of the rebel army together so that they can finally begin talks of peace.......... and really, just how to not shoot chemical weapons at one another. It doesn't seem like this peace treaty goes really well though because eventually, Superman just rounds up all the weapons in the country and destroys them, before flying back to Metropolis and hoping that the people of this country can work their differences out.
Back at the Fortress of Solitude, Jor-El is still trying to pitch his idea of a perfect new planet to Jon....... and it seems to be working, but for all the trust that Jon seems to have in his grandfather, I don't think it's going to help convince Superman of anything because when he makes his way back to Metropolis, he discovers the Agents of Oz trying to fill the city with gas that would end up killing the populace and now that he knows that one plus one equals my dad's a bad guy, he flies off to Lois, where they're both met by Jor-El and Jon and daddy dearest tries to convince his son and his family that leaving Earth is the right thing to do................ Superman isn't buying any of this though.
That's it for this issue of Action Comics and while we do have a lot of rehashing of things that we've seen throughout this arc already....... and even things we saw in the previous issue, it seems that the groundwork has finally been laid and we can start seeing what this story is going to be all about and on what side of the line of good and evil that Jor-El will be standing. Yeah, I really dug the fact that Superman has finally learned what his father is up to and because of that aspect...... plus, Jon seeming to be on his grandfather's side, I finally can't wait for the next issue to come because up until now, it really just felt like we were reading the same things over and over again. The art in this issue was as great as always and as long as that stays consistent with the little tidbit of information that Jor-El gave us about an impending doom coming Earth's way, I can see Action Comics being a must read once again.
Bits and Pieces:
While a lot of this issue rehashes the same old things that we've been seeing from this arc, it does eventually get exciting and makes me really interested in what we're going to get from the next issue. The art in this issue is great and it finally feels like we're getting somewhere with the Oz Effect.
Posted by Eric Shea
I feel like this book just isn't moving at all. Reminds me of the Doomsday arc that the book started with.
Oz believes in openness and honesty while demanding nothing... I'm calling bull crap. He has a team of Oz agents ready to kill the citizens of Metropolis, he is not open about this "very deadly and unbeatable threat, and demands that all of Earth's people must die. Seems like a villain to me!
"There's a powerful and deadly threat on it's way, but I'd like to speed things up a bit and get the jump on that guy."
Branden Murray October 26, 2017 at 9:29 PM
Four issues of this could have been reduced down to two at the most post reveal. I'm just bored to death with all this which isn't how this is supposed to work ... THAT'S NOT HOW THIS WORKS RIGHT?

Tibet plans to invest 820 million yuan this year to further promote the development of unique agricultural and animal husbandry industries, said Tsering Phuntsok, Director of the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Office of the Tibet Autonomous Region, during a recent interview with reporters.
In 2008, the Tibet Autonomous Region arranged 320 million yuan in its budget to develop unique agricultural and animal husbandry industries. The fund supports construction of projects for unique agricultural and animal husbandry industries including grass-fed dairy cow bases, sheep cultivation bases, high quality goat down bases, and Tibetan pig and chicken bases. The construction of 130 projects for unique industries was implemented. The government also arranged an agricultural modernization special fund of 60 million yuan to support the development of the highland barley and yak industries. This year Tibet plans to inject 500 million yuan more than last year to support and develop unique agricultural and animal husbandry industries.
The Tibet Autonomous Region is also further increasing the standardization of the production and construction of agricultural products. To date, it has already established 11 local standards for non-contaminated farm produce technologies and authenticated 128 pollution-free, green and organic food products.


New automation software for accounts receivable takes the pain out of the repetitive, resource-intensive task of allocating customer payments to invoices. It cuts the cost of cash allocation by as much as 70 per cent, increases financial control, and enables businesses to reap the full benefits from the UK banks' Faster Payments Service (FPS).
The new cash allocation software is part of a modular suite of solutions¹ from Macro 4 that increases efficiency in different stages of the order to cash process. It also reduces the risk of credit controllers chasing customers who have already paid their invoices, according to Lynda Kershaw, marketing manager for the software and services company.
"Cash allocation usually involves lots of laborious checking of paper documents – especially when single payments cover numerous invoices. The pressure really mounts at month end, when delays can result in money left unallocated, impacting key financial indicators such as aged debt. Often staff are reassigned from other activities just to try to get the allocation task completed. Until all payments are allocated it is unclear which invoices are still outstanding, so credit controllers waste their own time and their customers' by chasing people who've already paid."
"Absurdly, even though Faster Payments arrive in accounts within hours, most businesses still don't get the full benefit because they can't be allocated without the remittance notes, which are usually delivered by post several days later. In fact the FPS can actually make matters worse because you have more unallocated payments sitting on your books, waiting for remittance advices to arrive."
The cash allocation module extracts relevant information from electronic payment notifications, as well as cheques, and automatically matches payments with one or many invoices and credit notes. For the majority of payments, including Faster Payments and other electronic transfers, there is usually no need to wait for postal remittance advices before starting the allocation process.
"Typically between 85 per cent and 95 per cent of payments are matched immediately," said Kershaw. "Also, because the system actually 'learns' once a match has been made, the number of exceptions declines very quickly. There is little or no manual effort required, allowing you to cut costs by as much as 70 per cent as fewer people are required for the cash allocation task. As the ledger is now 'clean' you can also see accurately which customers have paid and make sure you only chase the overdue accounts," added Kershaw.
Macro 4 is one of the few companies to offer an integrated suite of software that streamlines document management and eases the switch from paper to electronic delivery in the four key stages of the order to cash process ¹; integrated modules are available for sales order processing, credit management, eInvoicing and cash allocation (more information can be found at http://www.macro4.com/resources).
"Our modular approach allows customers to get started quickly and expand over time. One of our customers - a global express delivery company - is now using our eInvoicing module to deliver 7.5 million of its annual invoices electronically. The switch from paper to online invoicing saves them around €3m annually in printing and postage costs. It also improves service for customers, who can now upload invoice data directly into their own finance systems," said Kershaw.
The credit management module gives credit controllers and customers instant online access to sales invoices, orders, Proof of Delivery (POD) and related documents to reduce queries and payment delays due to lost documents.
"A food distribution company uses our software to give its customers and credit controllers secure, online access to signed PODs to reduce customer queries over what's been delivered, get invoices paid faster and improve cash flow," explained Kershaw.
The sales order processing module ensures customer orders are processed correctly and on time. It eliminates manual re-keying of order information and also distributes important documents such as warehouse pick lists to the correct warehouse location to drive quicker delivery and fulfillment.
The sales order processing module helps process customer orders faster, with fewer errors, by enabling order information to be automatically captured and transferred to the ERP or finance system for generation of sales orders and related documents. It also ensures that pick lists and delivery notes are quickly and accurately distributed to the correct warehouse location to drive faster fulfillment.
The eInvoicing module allows organizations to quickly add a multi-channel delivery capability to their current finance system so that invoices, statements and related documents can be delivered promptly via email or online self service. It cuts paper and postage costs and helps to improve cash flow while giving customers a choice of delivery channel, including the ability to upload invoice data directly into their own financial systems.
The credit management module simplifies the credit control task by providing on screen access to invoices, proof of delivery notes and related documents, allowing credit controllers to easily resolve payment queries. Copy documents can be emailed or faxed to customers while on the phone in order to get a swift commitment to pay.
The cash allocation module results in a faster, more reliable cash allocation process by automatically matching incoming payments, whether they are cash, cheque or electronic, with outstanding invoices. It reduces manual effort, improves financial control and allows the majority of payments to be allocated without the need for remittance advice notes.

29 people affiliated to Ecuadorian Ministry of the Environment, the Ecuadorian Ministry for Planning & Development, the Ecuadorian Naval Oceanographic Institute, the project ProCamBío II, WWF and colleagues from different institutions from Mexico, Peru and Panama. In addition three instructors from MarViva and Blue Solutions.
Our group traveled to Bakul to experience the different stages of a marine spatial planning process, including practical exercises related to tools, concepts and the simulation of negotiations.
The elements the group looked at included the identification of need & process design, establishing authority & organizing the process, the organization of stakeholder participation and drafting and approving the spatial management plan. Most of the sessions included practical casework on Bakul, presentations and discussions in plenary as well as reflection sessions on people's individual working context. In addition, participants were happy to share real cases and positive examples of the marine and coastal context that they have been working on in the past. One practical example waited just nearby and was visited during a joint half-day field trip: the Marine Reserve Galera San Francisco and its spatial management plan with different types of zones of use.
Naming particular highlights out of many is a tough one! Was it the most energetic simulation of a negotiation situation ever witnessed in a Blue Planning Practice training? The longest walk ever taken on a field trip? Or the general openness of participants and impressive willingness to share all kinds of negative and positive experiences with the group?
Thanks to this dedicated group, this training was truly inspiring and we hope that many of the things that participants are striving for in their own working context can be implemented outside of Bakul!
We are soon going to share a video in which participants of our trainings share their impressions from the training with us. Also, the training manual is now available in Spanish : check out the Blue Planning in Practice page on our website to download it.

Congressman Mo Brooks (AL-05) reintroduced the "Ensuring Lawful Collection of Hidden Assets to Provide Order Act," more familiarly known as the "EL CHAPO Act," House companion legislation to Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) Senate bill by the same name on Wednesday.
The EL CHAPO Act reserves approximately $14 billion in assets forfeited to the United States Government as a result of the criminal prosecution of El Chapo, the former leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel, as well as other drug lords, for border security funding measures to include construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Brooks also sponsored the EL CHAPO Act in the 115th Congress.
The congressman also discussed the meaning of walls and outlined how walls have worked for centuries.
Brooks also outlined the safety concerns that an unsecured southern border pose.
Brooks also made it clear that a wall would not fix all of the problems posed by the southern border, but outlined how a physical barrier would help immensely with border security.
"A border wall is a subpart of overall border security. It will not keep out all drugs or every illegal alien, but we owe it to the victims of drug overdoses and illegal alien crime to do absolutely everything in our power to stop illegal aliens and their drugs from coming across our southern border and killing thousands of Americans every year! The EL CHAPO Act funds a large portion of the border wall without using taxpayer dollars and provides an alternative funding mechanism for the border wall. With the EL CHAPO Act we can end the current impasse and resulting government shutdown. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer should listen to the American people and come to the negotiating table so we can secure our border," he concluded.

Should Schools Suspend Sports? The Debate Is Getting More Tense
By Corey Mitchell — August 20, 2020 8 min read

Debates are roiling across the country over the role that high school sports should play as schools reopen during the coronavirus pandemic.
Decisions handed down from state capitals and state athletic associations on when and if students should play have created a fractured landscape for high school sports—and a debate over whether schools that opt for distance learning should be playing contact sports.
In states such as New Jersey and Oklahoma, high school sports will be allowed on campuses this fall, when in many cases, classes may not be.
Out West, states such as California and Oregon have postponed all high school sports until at least 2021.
And in Iowa, sports will proceed as usual, for some. Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds has mandated that students should return to the classroom at least part-time this fall; if school districts defy Reynolds' order and opt for all-remote learning, sports practices and games will not be allowed.
The National Federation of State High School Associations has encouraged state-level organizations to work alongside governors' offices and state health departments to guide decisions on when sports should return. However, that has not always worked out.
Tensions have boiled over in Pennsylvania, where Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf has recommended that schools suspend high school sports until January. For instruction, the state is allowing individual districts to decide whether to do it remotely, in-person, or a mixture of both.
Leaders of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association, a governing body for high school and junior high school sports, are considering authorizing sports against Wolf's wishes—and the organization has the support of some Republican state lawmakers.
Republican State Rep. Jesse Topper introduced legislation that would allow students to repeat a year of school if they missed out on a year of sports or if their parents think they are dissatisfied with the education they are receiving. Companion legislation would allow local school boards and superintendents to decide whether their schools should play sports.
"There is no foolproof plan. There will be kids who get COVID. There'll be teachers who get COVID. There will be coaches," said Topper, an assistant high school coach in Bedford, a small town in southern Pennsylvania. "We understand that. Are we not as a society going to move on with our lives and say, 'Look, these are the people at risk, and this is how it spreads, but at a certain point, we're turning the lights on?'"
See Also: Which High School Sports Pose the Greatest Risk for Coronavirus Spread?
In Bedford County, where the state health department indicates that there is moderate risk of community coronavirus spread, classes will begin this fall with a hybrid schedule, with students splitting their time between in-person and online classes.
A report from the American Academy of Pediatrics released earlier this month indicates that severe illness due to COVID-19 is rare among children, but the relationship between children and the spread of the disease remains unclear.
Return-to-school guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued in early August recommends limiting or canceling participation in co-curricular and extracurricular activities where social distancing is not feasible.
Playing it Safe?
At least 17 states and the District of Columbia have canceled the fall high school football season with hopes to resume practices and games in the winter or spring of 2021.
Twenty states have taken less drastic steps, pushing back the start of all fall sports even as COVID-19 cases surge in some communities.
In 14 states, spread across the Southeast, Midwest, and Rocky Mountain regions, high school sports will proceed as planned.
One of those states, Utah, hosted its first week of sanctioned high school football games with fans during the pandemic—with temperature checks at the gates and masks and social distancing in the stands. COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to drop in the state, but some schools fared better than others as the season got underway.
Herriman High, a 3,200-student school in Salt Lake County—where the mayor instituted a public mask mandate—hosted the first football game without a hitch. The school used an online lottery to determine which students won the chance to buy tickets to the football games.
"We're trying to do what's best by the kids and for the kids," said Stewart Hudnall, an assistant principal at Herriman High. "There are only so many hours in the day that we can try to facilitate the unknown. In this new world we live in, are there going to be mistakes? Absolutely."
Six miles away in the same school district, Bingham High, was forced to cancel its first game after three players tested positive for COVID-19.
Both schools are in the 56,000-student Jordan School District, which will have in-person classes on campuses Mondays through Thursdays starting next week, with online instruction on Fridays. But about 1 in 5 families in the district have opted for all-online learning.
In Oregon, state department of education guidance urges schools to carefully weigh public health recommendations when deciding how to return to school. Ten percent of COVID-19 cases in the state are in children. The state has postponed sports until January, but guidelines allow for schools in communities with low transmission rates to host in-person practices and training sessions.
"If we can't invite these students into our schools for a full day of learning, maybe we should really think hard about whether it's safe for them to be out there, especially with those full-contact sports," said Peter Weber, the executive director of the Oregon School Activities Association.
"How do you balance those opportunities? In some of our districts, a family would be questioning 'Why am I not able to have my students come in for math class?' Yet, we're having practices and things like that. Those are difficult conversations."
'A Lot of Uncertainty'
The National Federation of State High School Associations' Sports Medicine Advisory Committee, a 15-member panel of medical doctors, certified athletic trainers, high school coaches, state athletic association executives, and officials, released guidelines that identify the potential infection risk by sports, labeling the most common high school sports as lower-, intermediate, or higher-risk. Football is considered a higher-risk sport, for example, while golf is deemed a lower-risk sport.
Two major college athletic conferences, the Big Ten and Pac 12, ruled out all fall sports because cardiologists are concerned that coronavirus infections could cause heart complications that lead to abnormal health rhythms or sudden cardiac death in athletes.
Over the summer, schools in dozens of states temporarily suspended sports activities after players or coaches tested positive for COVID-19 during training sessions, but the push to find ways to play did not let up.
"There's a lot of uncertainty," said Topper, the Pennsylvania state representative. "There's no magic pill out there that's going to be ready or a vaccine of some kind that's just on the horizon. If we're talking three years down the road, what happens to these kids if we don't come up with a way to make sure" they have the opportunity to play sports.
Texas is among the states pressing ahead with fall sports amid questions about safety and COVID-19's long-term health effects on youth athletes.
Bob Wager, the head football coach at Martin High School in Arlington, Texas, has hosted roughly 400 students each weekday for strength and conditioning camps since early June. Students worked out in 12-person pods with the same coach supervising them daily. Over the past two months, the school recorded two positive coronavirus cases—and Wager required the students and coaches in the same practice pod to quarantine for two weeks.
The Arlington school system began classes online this week. Health authorities in Tarrant County, where Arlington is located, announced this month that all public schools there must go to online-only classes for the first six weeks of the school year, until at least Sept. 28, because of a spike in coronavirus cases.
The state, which has about 170,000 students play football each fall, has pushed back the start of football for its largest schools until late September, the weekend before students are scheduled return for in-person classes.
"The risks and concern over COVID-19 and running a huge camp during a pandemic aren't lost on me," Wager said. "I don't claim to be an expert on viruses. What I do claim is to be an expert on high school kids and what I've seen is happy kids for two hours a day."
In Utah, where the first football game was held, sports such as cross country, golf, soccer, tennis, and volleyball started weeks ago. Under state guidelines, schools must notify their county health department when students test positive for COVID-19.
The state is also taking other precautions to prevent another widespread shutdown of sports: Schools in counties with the highest risk of coronavirus transmission will not host home football games. Officials in two neighboring states, Colorado and Nevada, have pushed football to the spring, with Nevada shutting down all sports until January.
"We still have contingency plans in place because things could change hour by hour," said Rob Cuff, the executive director of the Utah High School Activities Association. "Our message to schools is, 'Don't let down your guard. Stay attentive. Make sure that we're ensuring safety every way we can.' We definitely want the reward to outweigh the risk."

The need for camper scholarships is greater than ever! Many families have difficulty saving money to send their children to summer camp. Every child deserves a chance to experience God's love and grace in the caring Christian community of summer camp.
Without needed assistance, children are missing out on the life-changing experiences of camp. Please prayerfully consider donating to the Camper Scholar- ship Fund and help send a child to camp. You can donate online through camp websites, or by mailing a check. Thank you for making a difference in chil- dren's lives!
Note: You may send general donations to the EPA Conference Office, addressed to the Conference Trea- surer and specified as "For Camperships." Your gifts will be divided among the four camps. You may also donate funds for camperships to individual camps. Camperships for day camps average about $200 and for overnight camps, about $400. Any amount is helpful and appreciated. Check the individual camps' Web sites for more details.


With the CrossFit Open behind us, we wanted to reflect on some of the great moments we saw in the gym over the course of those 5 weeks. Aside from the nerves we all experienced waiting for Dave Castro's ominous announcement every Thursday, there was also a level of anticipation and excitement. Will it be something I am good at? Will it be a new movement we haven't seen before? Will this be the workout I finally hit that elusive PR? We loved seeing people from different classes come together for Friday Night Lights to compete, judge, support, and motivate each other. New friendships were made. PR's were witnessed. Fears were conquered. Fires were lit. Of course, there were also some low points, frustrations and setbacks, but it is from those adversities that we learn and get better. For many, it gave a chance to recognize strengths and weaknesses, and created the motivation to set new goals and get to work on them. Even if you did not participate in the Open, you all got to do the workouts as part of the regular Friday classes, and they were challenging, physically and mentally! Whether you love it or hated it, the CrossFit Open had a special way of teaching us to pursue greatness and strive to be better than we thought we could be. It also taught us to be humble. We gathered some feedback and would love to share some of the highlights that came straight from our members!

My mom used to dress me. I mean, I know that all of our moms used to pick out our clothes at some point in our lives. But, my mom had a say for longer than I'd like to admit. I remember specifically one incident where we were disagreeing over what I would wear to my best friend's Bat Mitzvah. My mother eschewed my fashion-forward palazzo pants in favor of a cupcake-esque dress. She obviously won and I looked like a cream puff. While I remain firm that the pants would have been a better choice, I do admit that she was right in a lot of other instances. I find myself returning to her preppy Laura Ashley and sailor dresses of my youth. Even wondering why she got rid of her matching dresses (because she always matched me and my sister), as they would now be pieces that I would love to get my hands on. What I then thought of as regrettable outfits I'm now coming to realize were in fact regrettable giveaways. Though I no longer have our sailor dresses (which we wore on our namesake sailboat, no less), I do think this nautical coat is a pretty cute consolation prize. And the matching dress underneath (saved for a future post) puts the outfit over the top. My mother would definitely approve.

Shaquille O'Neal Returning To WWE, Steve Austin On Cover Of Magazine, More
January 24, 2021	0	By JohnValbyNation
source: PWInsider.com
— Regarding a possible match between Shaquille O'Neal and Big Show, John Bradshaw Layfield wrote the following in his latest WWE.com column: "The two biggest guys I have ever seen are Shaq and Big Show, I say let these two guys fight! Shaq is a big MMA fan who trains, and Big Show is trained as a boxer as well as wrestler – this could be a lot of fun to watch. I see where Shaq hosted Raw and I think the natural match up is Shaq versus Show. I don't know who we could get to referee, but who cares?"
As reported over the weekend, WWE plans on having O'Neal return to Raw at some point. Their poll last week about him taking on Show was done to set the match in motion.
— WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will grace the cover of next month's issue of Muscle & Fitness.

Richard Komp (sunwatt@juno.com) has been building solar cottage industries in Nicaragua, Niger, Peru, Mali, Rwanda, Pakistan, Mexico, Haiti, India, and Mexico for the last few decades. He teaches people how to build small solar electric systems using factory second photovoltaic cells and assembling them into collector arrays themselves.
One of his latest projects is in Colombia (http://www.mainesolar.org/Colombia2011.pdf PDF alert) at the Universitaria de Investigacion y Desarillo (UDi) in Bucaramanga and uses solar to make more solar: solar cookers are used to encapsulate solar electric panels using ethylene-vinyl-acetate (EVA) instead of silicone. The EVA cures at a temperature near the boiling point of water and the students built two solar cookers big enough to fit 65 watt PV modules. 24 students in one week made six 65 watt PV modules and about 8 solar cell phone chargers, besides studying the design of several different PV systems. One of the solar cookers ended up in a restaurant on the beach while the second was used for making PV modules. "There is about $90 worth of materials in each big cooker," writes Komp.
Komp also gave lectures on solar thermal systems, including solar air conditioning, relevant as the UDi is designing a zero energy addition to their campus, a building where all the electricity, hot water, and air conditioning will be 100% solar powered.
"We designed a lithium bromide absorption air conditioner that ran from heat from an array of 150 evacuated solar water heater tubes. The only electricity the air conditioner will need is to run the pumps and fans since the heat furnishes all the energy needed to produce the chilled water, which will be stored in large insulated tanks for use when cooling is need[ed] at night or cloudy days. All the hot water needed (and then some) will be from the waste heat from the air conditioner system. ($100,000+ in costs)"
Part 1 of Richard Komp's 10 part introduction to photovoltaics series.
Richard is not the only person taking factory seconds to the developing world to make local solar devices locally. Here's a BBC story (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15876602) on making solar cell phone and battery chargers in Kenya through Mark Kragh and KnowYourPlanet (http://www.knowyourplanet.com).
Some 30 or more years ago, Solarex talked about building a solar breeder facility where the solar panels on the roof would provide the power to make the solar panels inside the factory. Unfortunately, Solarex never completed its project and no longer exists.
Here's a video on a solar cooker workshop held in Nyala, Sudan under the auspices of the Darfur Peace and Development Organization.
In Tanzania, Robert Lange has been working with the Maasai people adapting an efficient cookstove to their local needs (http://www.maasaistovessolar.org). They have established a small factory to produce them using local materials.
"'The numbers also show the potential in business stimulation. The final cost for a stove is about $55. Of this, $10.40 goes to the local brick maker; cement and other building materials cost $8.50 at the local supplier; steel for custom parts is purchased for $12 from the Arusha steel merchants; transport of bricks and labor required to form the steel parts come to about $9.00. And the women's team that makes the stoves in the homes, building them, maintaining them, and training the householder how to uses them, earns $14 per stove to be divided among team members.'"
"It inspires me to look at the 46W stand-alone PV system we installed in our home in 1986. Sitting on the south-facing window sill of our fifth floor condominium unit in the Fenway, with the battery box placed inside and under the window, it has been supplying electricity for a room with two 15W fluorescent lights, a table lamp, a small table fan and a record player diligently and reliably, around the year, for over 20 years! All I had to do was to replace the set of two interconnected 6V, deep-cycle batteries twice. The room is also equipped with a variety of solar cookers - both home-made and factory-made - well-used over the years. The PV system also has the capacity to power our 'Tulsa Hybrid' solar cooker that can cook three ways, day and night, year-round: by direct sunlight, being plugged into the regular household current (110VAC), or by solar electricity from the PV system (12VDC converted to 110VAC through an inverter). Last but not least, the battery in our digital camera too, gets recharged by the PV system."
I know Richard Komp, Robert Lange, and Sajed Kamal personally and thus can say that their work is a labor of love, lasting over many years and now decades. Richard and Robert are always looking beyond their own pockets for support in what they do. You can contact them at their respective websites if you care to contribute.
