Since there is lots of free time around Xmas and duel is a game mode played much too little in Smokin Guns, i decided to invite you all over for a little Xmas duel challenge - a one-evening cup if you want.
Modus Operandi: If <= 12 players register, we will play one big, jolly round of duel with all players. He who wins 3( or 5) rounds of duel, earns the crown.
If more than 12 players register, there will be a "group phase" of 2 duel rounds in 2 groups. The better half of each group get thrown together and play for the crown like described above for <= 12 players. The guys who did not make it to the winning group will play a challenge with the same rules for the crown of the 2nd league.
Since this is quick and easy, requires no big hazzle to put a team together and allows non-clan members to take part in competative gaming, i am thinking of putting this up on a monthly basis. Then of course featuring a proper website with stats and all - if you like the idea that is.
Registration: Please reply to this post, if you would like to play on December 23rd, please state your ingame name also (the one you will play the cup with). Deadline for registration is December 22nd, 10pm CET.
Further details: Server address, password, will be posted here SHORTLY (an hour or so) before the cup starts.

I know i'am a bit late, but I will take part also for the cup, if that is possible.
So everyone, here is the grouping for tonight including the server addresses.
Best 4 of each group after two regular rounds of duel will play the 'A league' on parttimegeeks.net:27560, the other eight guys will play the 'B league' on parttimegeeks.net:27660. In case rank 4 and 5 have an equal score, both will play the 'A league'. In case 3 or more players share the 4th rank, there will be some spontaneous system for elimination. Whether the actual leagues will have a duellimit of 3 or 5 will be decided just after the group phases - depending on how long they take.
Password for the servers follows later.
Whoever still wants to join on short notice, talk to me in #jeuxlinux in the Quakenet IRC network before 7pm CET.

Around the memorial
Viewing Tower
1943 until today
Museum – Guided Tours
The museum of the St. Nikolai memorial with its permanent exhibition 'Gomorrah 1943 – Hamburg's destruction through aerial warfare' can be explored with the help of a guided tour. The tour takes approximately 60 minutes and includes the following:
The history of the former main church St. Nikolai – now St. Nikolai memorial – is closely linked to the history of the city of Hamburg. The repeated destruction of the church and its present-day function are explained vividly.
Being the highest building of the city, during the Second World War the spire served as a target for the British bomber fleet; they chose it as a landmark for their night-time air raids. The ramifications of the 'Operation Gomorrah' still characterize the appearance of the ruin. Although the guided tour focuses on the air raids on Hamburg in 1943, it also addresses the events that led up to it: How did war come to Hamburg? Which events ultimately led to the air raids on Hamburg?
The Hamburg firestorm is illustrated from different perspectives. Visitors get to know the experiences of Hamburg's citizens as well as gain insights in the view of the allied bomber pilots and their course of action during the air raids. A variety of exhibits and historic photographs illustrate the narrative. Furthermore, the media table provides additional information.
Towards the end of the tour visitors get the answers to further questions: How did the tidying up and the reconstruction of the destroyed city of Hamburg go ahead? How are the victims commemorated and what memorials were created in the decades after the war?
After the tour visitors can use their ticket to take the panoramic lift in the steeple of St. Nikolai which takes them up to the viewing platform 250 feet (76m) above the ground. Here, visitors can enjoy the view of Hamburg's inner city.
We are looking forward to your visit!

Q: Instantiate UI elements by name I would like to know if its possible, to use a string in order to create a UI element.
I think many people have this kind of problem, they want an easy setup in flash to generate a dynamic UI, through code.
It should look like this (pseudo code):
addToStage("Button","add");
addToStage("TextInput","name");

private function addToStage ( o : Object, str : String ) : void {
    var myItem : o = new o();
    addchild ( myItem );
}

Of course, the above sample does not work, but is there a possibility to implement that kind of behavior?

A: You could do that using the function getDefinitionByName, something like:
var UiButton:Class = getDefinitionByName("spark.components.Button") as Class;
var sparkButton = new UiButton("SpecialButton") as Button;

Pushy mums don't help kids succeed
November 27, 2022 mediabest Lifestyle
The one lesson I've learned from life: Paralympian Dame Sarah Storey, 45, says pushy mums don't help kids succeed
Dame Sarah Storey, 45, is Britain's most successful Paralympian with 17 gold medals for swimming and cycling, winning her first aged just 14. She lives in Cheshire with husband Barney, also a former Paralympian, and children, Louisa, nine, and Charlie, five.
People often ask me about the sacrifice sport requires — especially now I have children — but I don't see it that way. If you start viewing what you do as a sacrifice, resentment can sneak in.
I enjoy what I do and that's important. I'm not saying I love every second but, beneath all the hard work, there is a strong undercurrent of joy. I wouldn't do it otherwise.
Paralympian Dame Sarah Storey, 45, (pictured) says pushy mums don't help kids succeed. She says most sportswomen go into their career expecting to retire before they become mothers
It's even better now I can share it with my children. Thanks to my job, we've had the chance to travel to incredible places around the world and that's been a great learning experience for the kids.
Most sportswomen go into their career expecting to retire before they become mothers — or at least they used to.
But there have been a number of trailblazing women who are shifting that narrative — Tanni Grey-Thompson, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Laura Kenny, to name but a few. You can see that change happening and I'm proud to be part of it, showing that it's possible to be both a successful athlete and a mother.
Who knows what will happen to our children? Perhaps they will go on to become sporting stars. Whatever they do, they'll have grown up with role models with a strong work ethic.
I encourage my children to make their own choices. That's the way I was brought up. If I wanted to go to early morning swimming training, I had to set my alarm and wake up my parents to take me. My daughter is now doing 5am sessions and she has to do the same.
There's no pressure on our kids. If they say they don't want to do something any more as they're not enjoying it, that's fine. There are no set rules.
You can't rely on your parents to drive you on, as, ultimately, on race day, no one else can push you on. It's just you and the bike.
Dame Sarah Storey is principal of the Skoda DSI Cycling Academy, set up to support aspiring female cyclists. Go to skoda.co.uk/ discover/cycling-academy.

PENGASSAN: We reject 100% hike in LPG
By Our Reporter On Dec 3, 2021
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) has blamed the Federal Government over the hyper-inflation that has greeted the Liquified Natural Gas (LPG), commonly referred to as cooking gas.
The union said that it is disheartening to note that the price of refilling 12.5kg cylinder of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (cooking gas) has risen by almost 100 pee cent percent over the past one year.
President and General Secretary of PENGASSAN Festus Osifo and Lumumba Okugbawa, who spoke on the issues affecting the populace, which required urgent attention, admonished government at all levels to quickly come together and find urgent solutions to the myriad of issues plaguing the nation to reduce the difficulties faced by the citizens.
According to the union, this is one singular product that is used by several households in the country.

"Currently, the cost of cooking gas has continued in steady climb from average of 4,500 Naira at the beginning of 2021 to the current price of between 8,750 and 10,000 Naira for the popular 12.5kg cylinder.We are worried that most middle to upper class homes, especially in the urban areas, are feeling the pinch.
"The poorer families are going through harrowing experiences trying to cope, more so as the price of kerosene had long taken flight in addition to being scarce in many places. Despite Nigeria sitting on one of the largest gas reserves in the world, we still depend largely on imported gas. Up to 70 per cent of the gas we consume in the country is imported.
"We hereby call on the President to immediately abolish the VAT on gas importation, prevent further slide of the Naira, channel some of the exported gas to domestic use, and provide some form of verifiable palliatives for the lower-class citizens," the union said.
The union also expressed dismay over the recent directive accompanied with the threat by the Presidential Steering Committee (PSC) that Federal Government employees would not be allowed into their offices without proof of vaccination or negative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests effective December 1, 2021. The union said it considered the directive and alleged threat as unbecoming, draconian and against the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that the government pledged to always uphold.
The association said it had earlier admonished providers of labour to sensitise and advocate for its employees on the advantages of taking COVID-19 vaccines and not to issue threats to the workforce.

I am trying to borrow great ideas off this forum for my wifes 40th birthday 4 deuces party and I was wondering if anyone knows of a website where I can order hand towels with embrodered words on them?
Hello! Below are links to monogrammed towels, and actual customizable towels.


Israel has been unnerved by Egypt's revolution. The reason is simple: it fears for the survival of the 1979 peace treaty – a treaty which by neutralizing Egypt, guaranteed Israel's military dominance over the region for the next three decades.
By removing Egypt — the strongest and most populous of the Arab countries — from the Arab line-up, the treaty ruled out any possibility of an Arab coalition that might have contained Israel or restrained its freedom of action. As Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan remarked at the time: "If a wheel is removed, the car will not run again."
Western commentators routinely describe the treaty as a 'pillar of regional stability,' a 'keystone of Middle East diplomacy,' a 'centerpiece of America's diplomacy' in the Arab and Muslim world. This is certainly how Israel and its American friends have seen it.
But for most Arabs, it has been a disaster. Far from providing stability, it exposed them to Israeli power. Far from bringing peace, the treaty ensured an absence of peace, since a dominant Israel saw no need to compose or compromise with Syria or the Palestinians.
Instead, the treaty opened the way for Israeli invasions, occupations and massacres in Lebanon and the Palestinian territories, for strikes against Iraqi and Syrian nuclear sites, for brazen threats against Iran, for the 44-year occupation of the West Bank and the cruel blockade of Gaza, and for the pursuit of a 'Greater Israel' agenda by fanatical Jewish settlers and religious nationalists.
In turn, Arab dictators, invoking the challenge they faced from an aggressive and expansionist Israel, were able to justify the need to maintain tight control over their populations by means of harsh security measures.
One way and another, the Israeli-Egyptian treaty has contributed hugely to the dangerous instability and raw nerves which have characterized the Middle East to this day, as well as to the sharpening of popular grievances, and the inevitable explosions which have followed.
Suffice it to say that, emboldened by the treaty, Israel smashed Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor in 1981 and, the following year, invaded Lebanon in a bid to destroy the PLO, expel Syrian influence and bring Lebanon into Israel's orbit. Israel's 1982 invasion and siege of Beirut killed some 17,000 Lebanese and Palestinians. In an act of great immorality, Israel then provided cover (and arc-lights) to its Maronite allies as they engaged in a two-day slaughter of helpless Palestinians at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. Israel remained in occupation of southern Lebanon for the next 18 years, until driven out in 2000 by Hezbollah guerrillas. So much for the peace treaty's contribution to Middle East peace and stability!
The origins of the peace treaty can be traced to the diplomacy of Henry Kissinger, President Nixon's national security adviser at the time of the October War. Committed to protecting Israel but also to pulling Egypt out of the Soviet orbit of influence (and not averse to dressing down the Israeli side when their stubbornness undermined the balancing of these two goals), Kissinger maneuvered Egypt's Anwar al-Sadat out of his alliance with both Syria and the Soviet Union, and towards a cozy relationship with Israel and the United States.
With the 1975 Sinai disengagement agreement, Kissinger removed Egypt from the battlefield – a fateful decision which led directly to the Camp David accords of 1978, and the peace treaty of 1979. Sadat may have hoped for a comprehensive peace, involving the Palestinians and Syria. But he was out-foxed by Israel's Prime Minister Menachem Begin, a Zionist of the Jabotinsky school who was determined to destroy Palestinian nationalism and prevent the return of the West Bank to the Arabs. Begin was happy to return the Sinai to Egypt in order to keep the West Bank.
Weakened at home by pro-Israeli forces, President Jimmy Carter witnessed unhappily the scaling down of his peace effort from its original multilateral aims to a mere bilateral outcome – a separate Israeli-Egyptian peace. At the end of the day, Washington swallowed Israel's argument that the treaty ruled out the threat of a regional war and was therefore in America's interest. Egypt's army was given $1.3 billion annual U.S. subsidy — not to make it more warlike but, on the contrary, to keep it at peace with Israel.
Defense of the peace treaty remains the prevailing wisdom in Washington. The Obama administration is reported to have told Egypt's military chiefs that they must maintain the treaty. In turn, Egypt's Supreme Military Council has said that Egypt will honor existing treaties. So there will evidently not be any revocation of the treaty. No one in Egypt or in the Arab world favors a return to military action, nor is ready for it. But the treaty may well be put on ice.
We do not yet know the color of the next Egyptian government. In any event, it will be hugely preoccupied with pressing domestic problems for the foreseeable future. But if, as is widely expected, this government will have a strong civilian component drawn from the various strands of the protest movement, adjustments of Egypt's foreign policy must be expected.
It is highly unlikely that Egypt will continue Hosni Mubarak's policy – deeply embarrassing to Egyptian opinion — of colluding with Israel in the blockade of Gaza. Nor is the new Egypt likely to persist in Mubarak's hostility towards the Islamic Republic of Iran and the two resistance movements, Hamas and Hezbollah. Whether the treaty survives or not, Egypt's alliance with Israel will not be the intimate relationship it was.
The Egyptian revolution is only the latest demonstration of the change in Israel's strategic environment. Israel 'lost' Iran when the Shah was overthrown in 1979. This was followed by the emergence of a Tehran-Damascus- Hezbollah axis, which has sought to challenge Israel's regional hegemony. Over the past couple of years, Israel has also 'lost' Turkey, a former ally of real weight. It is now in danger of 'losing' Egypt. The threat looms of regional isolation.
How will Israel react to the Egyptian revolution? Will it move troops to its border with Egypt, strengthen its defenses, desperately seek allies in the Egyptian military junta now temporarily in charge, and plead for still more American aid? Or will it – at long last – make a determined bid to resolve its territorial conflicts with Syria and Lebanon and allow the emergence of an independent Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem?
Israel urgently needs to rethink its security doctrine. This is the clear lesson of the dramatic events in Egypt. Dominating the region by force of arms — Israel's doctrine since the creation of the state — is less and less of a viable option. It serves only to arouse ferocious and growing resistance, which must eventually erupt into violence. Israel needs a revolution in its security thinking, but of this there is as yet no sign.
Only peace, not arms, can guarantee Israel's long-term security.

Real Betis vs Barcelona live stream: How to watch, TV channel, time
Leave a Comment	/ Sports / By vitisportsandlife
The ultra competitive La Liga title race carries on this weekend as Barcelona goes away from home for a tricky fixture against Real Betis. Already trailing red-hot Real Madrid by three points, the Blaugrana can ill afford another slip-up in the race. This weekend's match could prove crucial in the team's bid to catch up.
When: Sunday, February 9
Time: 3:00 p.m. ET
TV: beIN Sports
Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free)
Playing away from Camp Nou this season has been Barcelona's weak point. The team has only taken full points four times out of 11 tries in La Liga so far this season. Of those seven results, the team has lost four times. Another poor result away from home could be exactly what Real Madrid needs to open up an even bigger gap at the top of the table. The pressure on new manager Quique Setién and the entire squad is already high. Falling behind even further would just cause that intense pressure to mount.
Without a proven No. 9 available with the long-term injury to Luis Suarez, other attackers have been forced to step up. In the 2-1 win against Levante last weekend, it was teenage sensation Ansu Fati who provided the needed scoring touch for Barca. The 17-year-old phenom scored both goals in the first half thanks to some brilliant playmaking by Lionel Messi. With Messi and Antoine Greizmann as the high-profile attacking stars, the search for the third wheel is ongoing. Fati showed he's capable of special things, but is he ready to consistently perform under massive pressure to succeed?

300 – Yard Shuttle Run by Lee Tressel
March 6, 2018 at 1:24 am • 0
By Tim Rodmaker
The 300-yard shuttle run can be used as a maximum effort anaerobic test or training tool for multi-sprint athletes like baseball, football, basketball, soccer, etc. Among baseball players, it is often used as a pre-test during the first week of spring training to measure anaerobic capacity, i.e., the maximal rate of energy production by the combined phosphagen and lactic acid energy systems for moderate-duration activities, and/or as a training tool during the off-season to improve anaerobic endurance, speed, agility and change of direction1.
The test or drill consists of six 50-yard sprints; down and back is two sprints.
The test administrator places marker cones and lines 50 yards apart to indicate the sprint distance.
The player starts in a standing position with one foot on the start line and, when instructed, runs to the opposite 50-yard line, touches it with his foot, turns and run back to the start.
The player sprints all-out down and back six times (300-yards) without stopping.
The test is repeated after a 3 to 5-minute rest and the score is the average of the two 300-yard trials. For most players, the goal is an average time of 52 seconds or less.
Coaching points:
Players are not allowed to walk or stop during the test
Players should face the same direction at the end of each 50-yard sprint, i.e., touch one line with the right foot and the opposite line with the left foot.
Failure to face the same direction at the end of each sprint will cause the player to make a small circle just before the end of each sprint, stop on the same foot in each sprint and run a slower total time.
Most players can improve rather quickly. Practical experienced indicates that those who perform this run as a conditioning drill three times per week on non-consecutive days will make measurable improvements within 2-3 weeks.
Norms:
Norms by age and level of play exist for both pitchers and position players2
Progressions:
Reduce the length of the course to 25 yards to increase the difficulty of the drill because the player will be required to make more changes of direction (6 vs. 3).
Total time for each trial and the average time for the two trials will be increased slightly because of the increased number of changes of direction.

What are the differences between bridge and viaduct ?
How to make difference between a viaduct and a bridge? This is a question that seems simple and yet many people do not know how to explain the differences between these two structures.
In this small article we will therefore look for what differentiates bridges and viaducts. We can finally shed new light on an issue that has crossed our minds!
The nature of crossed gap
In the collective imagination, we can distinguish 2 structures by what they allow to cross. While the bridge would be used to cross an area of water such as a stream or a river, the viaduct would have been developed to cross large spaces of land including obstacles or depressions (large differences in ground levels).
If this explanation seems plausible, it is not the element which makes it possible to differentiate the 2 structures.
The type of structure
In the public works sector, metal structures such as bridges or viaducts are made using the same materials (concrete, reinforced concrete, metal, etc.), the same know-how and the same methods of construction and assembly. Strictly speaking, there are no structural differences between bridges and viaducts. Just as there are different types of bridges, you can find viaducts with girders, cable-stayed or suspended viaducts…
The number of obstacles to cross
As a rule, a bridge is installed when you want to override an obstacle, whether it is natural (ditch, stream …) or created by humans (highway, railway …). Since the obstacle is small, all that is needed is a bridge consisting of a small number of spans to cross it.
However, when there are several obstacles that don't allow the direct pass through a simple road, we no longer speak of a bridge but a viaduct. These "special" bridges are indeed made up of a greater number of spans and can thus ensure the pass of a roadway over a greater distance. In France, the most emblematic viaduct remains the Millau viaduct.
In summary :
To conclude simply, viaducts and bridges are structurally similar and fulfilling the same mission: to cross all kinds of obstacles to connect two portions of road. Nevertheless, the viaduct, architectural construction often impressive, is distinguished by its length, and in some cases by its height. The Millau Viaduct, inaugurated in France in 2004, is currently the world's tallest structure with pylons up to 242 meters below the roadway and a maximum height of 343 meters at the top of the structure. This viaduct bears the nickname "Bridge in the clouds", or "Clouds bridge"!
"The Viaduct is a particular bridge that extends well before and well after the stress it must straddle while the bridge ends immediately after the crossed obstruction."
Viaducts built by Matière®
In France there are nearly 210 viaducts throughout the country. Among all these remarkable constructions from a civil engineering point of view, discover some of the viaducts built and commissioned by Matière® !
In Charente, in the municipality of Chabanais you can take the Viaduct on the Vienne river. This 348-meter-long mixed structure was installed by launching over the Vienne, a municipal road and a railway line. This double-beam bridge, or viaduct, includes 6 piles made of reinforced concrete box posts and 2 decks with a maximum span of 190m. It is a structure of nearly 3600 tons.
The Chabanais road structure was inaugurated in 2012 and supports thousands of cars and trucks every day.
This bow-string bridge for railway use is also considered a viaduct and was built by the Matière® teams in 2015. This metal structure allows a range of 90m and is 19 meters high. You will be able to admire the Viaduct of Lez in Lattes during your next visit in the Hérault, south of the beautiful city of Montpellier!

Improving the health of the nation
North Mississippi Health Services
Program Profile:
North Mississippi Health Services' (NMHS) National DPP lifestyle change program launched in June 2018 in Tupelo, MS, with 15 participants.
Due to participant interest, the lifestyle change program's pilot featured additional informal meetings, in addition to regular sessions, including group workout sessions where exercise specialists explained the benefits of physical activity and demonstrated proper use of various exercise machines.
The program's project team used direct advertisements such as newsletters, presentations, employee emails, and articles in the local paper to recruit participants.
NMHS engaged leaders from multiple segments of their organization, including Human Resources, Wellness Center, Diabetes Treatment Center, Population Health, and Advanced Practice Clinician Fellowship for planning and implementation of a diabetes prevention strategy for their employees.
The NMHS physician champion was motivated to start a National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) lifestyle change program after learning about the evidence supporting intensive lifestyle intervention for the prevention of diabetes.
The NMHS physician champion utilized the AMA's "building the business case" presentation template to gain leadership buy-in, presenting to a targeted group at their organization that included the CEO, the president of medical clinics, the president of the North Mississippi Medical Center- Tupelo hospital, the vice president of human resources, the chief strategy officer, the chief medical officer and the chief nursing officer. The group was especially interested in lifestyle intervention for both the prevention of progression and related medical expenditures associated with type 2 diabetes.

Utilize resources: Take advantage of formal technical assistance and guidance that is offered, such as what is provided by the AMA.
Identify a project lead: Identify a project lead with the ability to bring key stakeholders and team members from multiple departments together.
Be flexible: Consider offering multiple delivery modalities for the National DPP lifestyle change program to meet participants needs.
Implementation through education
How one Mississippi physician champion used training and knowledge to spearhead diabetes prevention programming
While studying for his board certification in obesity medicine, North Mississippi Medical Clinic's Vernon Rayford, M.D., learned about the National DPP lifestyle change program and the evidence supporting intensive lifestyle intervention for the prevention of diabetes. So, when presented with the chance to attend a National DPP lifestyle change program coach training, he leapt at the opportunity.
"I enrolled in the training without hesitation," he explains. "I really didn't know what I was going to do with it beyond implementing it into an obesity medicine practice."
Not long after completing the coach training, Dr. Rayford was able to use the learnings gleaned from his participation in his capstone project for a physician leadership program. Armed with evidence of positive outcomes from the original DPP research trial, Reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes with lifestyle intervention or metformin, Dr. Rayford estimated the number of employees with prediabetes within his system's health plan and used these numbers to gain support for implementation of a National DPP lifestyle change program. What was originally purposed to be an informative presentation on the sweeping benefits and need for the National DPP lifestyle change program transformed into implementation planning when key decision makers took note of Dr. Rayford's findings. "Our vice president of Human Resources was really interested in the program and we assembled a group that started working on making the pilot a reality," he says.
Part of bringing the pilot to life involved getting the word out about the program. To do so, the project team helped recruit participants by producing newsletters, presentations, articles in the local paper, informational sessions, and even a public service announcement for the broader community. In just a few months, the lifestyle change program launched with an initial cohort of fully engaged participants. "I'm most proud of how well the members of the pilot have come together and how they've grown together," Dr. Rayford reports. He continues, "We've added sessions just based on the interest in the participants of the pilot."
According to Dr. Rayford, implementation of the National DPP lifestyle change program paved the way for the development of an institutional diabetes prevention strategy at NMHS that has potential to reach patients, health plan members, and other employers in the community. Now, not only does the organization focus on improving the quality of diabetes care, it also places heavy emphasis on prevention. For Dr. Rayford, it's reinforced a valuable lesson: "Preventing diabetes is a whole lot simpler than treating diabetes," he says.
Now in the recruitment phase for their next cohort, Dr. Rayford and his team are fine tuning the program to ensure its accessibility for a broader range of participants, particularly those unable to attend sessions in-person. Acknowledging that diabetes prevention is not a one-size-fits-all undertaking, the team is brainstorming ways to deliver the program to more people. He explains, "We are looking at ways we can deliver the program and stay true to the curriculum, but do it in a way that respects the fact that we may not have people who are able to meet every Tuesday for 16 weeks. We have to be flexible and use online as well as in-person formats."
Dr. Rayford says his desire is that NMHS ultimately views the National DPP lifestyle change program as part of a comprehensive effort to address type 2 diabetes. "My hope is that my colleagues see their ability to make a difference on the upstream side is enhanced by having a lifestyle change program, and then they can work to expand diabetes prevention offerings," he explains.

Image caption: Rachel Rensink-Hoff, Associate Professor of Music at Brock's Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts and Artistic Director of Brock University Choral Activities, is excited for Brock choir auditions to get underway in advance of the fall 2021 season.
Brock choirs are back this fall and singing a hopeful tune for a busy season of choral activities for the University and wider Niagara community.
Choir auditions are now open and will be running online throughout the summer for two ensembles: University Choir and Sora Singers.
University Choir is a mixed voice ensemble for soprano, alto, tenor and bass voices and is open to all members of the Brock community, including students, faculty and staff.
Sora Singers (formerly the Brock Women's Choir) is an upper-voice ensemble for anyone with a soprano or alto voice. Auditions for Sora Singers are open to the Brock community as well as the wider Niagara community.
Rachel Rensink-Hoff, Associate Professor of Music at Brock's Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts (MIWSFPA) and Artistic Director of Brock University Choral Activities, is hopeful that choir members will be able to sing together in person, pending public health and Brock University protocols.
"It has been a really tough year and as singers, we are all feeling rusty," she said. "Building our vocal technique will certainly be the top priority when we convene in the fall to rebuild our singing community."
While the past year posed challenges for Brock's choirs, Rensink-Hoff feels there were key lessons learned through experimentation with digital platforms, which she hopes will be integrated into the program going forward.
"Because we are all familiar with collaborative opportunities in online formats, this coming year we will be virtually welcoming several composers whose works we will be studying and performing," she said.
Diversity and inclusion are also top of mind for Rensink-Hoff as the she plans for the coming season.
"I am committed to diversifying our performance repertoire and spending more intentional time together exploring the voices of under-represented composers and communities," she said.
All audition details and rehearsal times can be found on the Sing at Brock! website. The audition is a two-part process involving a singing recording followed by a meeting over Zoom. Students who are interested can enrol in a choir for credit as a Brock course elective.
The last day to audition for both the University Choir and Sora Singers will be Monday, Sept. 13.
Choir rehearsal and performance formats are subject to change and will be delivered in adherence with Brock and public health protocols.

GOOD fresh ingredients are the key to a great pizza, according to Galleon Pizza and Takeaway owner Mort Jack.
Galleon Pizza and Takeaway at Tannum Sands was last week voted as the best place in Gladstone area to get pizza, according to The Observer's Facebook likers.
With 22 years of experience and good fresh ingredients, people could see the difference with Galleon's pizzas, Mr Jack said.
"Other pizzas you get a mouth full of mushroom, then one of peperoni and then onion," he said.
"With our pizzas you get the blend in every bite. We are not a fast food restaurant, everything is made to order."
Mr Jack's wife and business partner, Trish Jack, said customer service kept them in the business.
"Customers are not a number - they are a name for us," she said.
"If they are in their car and their meal is ready, we go and take it to them."
Bruce Ricketson said he just bought a place near Tannum Sands and was looking forward to trying Galleon's pizzas.
"I like a decent base and I'd rather pay for quality," he said. "A $5 pizza is always a $5 pizza. I want quality over quantity."
Tiny's Woodfired Pizza, Pizza Capers and Domino's were also mentioned on Facebook as favourite pizzerias in the region.
Tammy Nelson from Kirkwood said she liked a slice from Pizza Capers.
"It's not so greasy, it's just right," she said. "You don't have to wipe it off your chin."

Erling Skakke (1115 – 18 June 1179) was a Norwegian Jarl during the 12th century. He was the father of Magnus V, who reigned as King of Norway from 1161 to 1184.

Biography
Erling Ormsson was born at Etne in the county of Hordaland, Norway. He was the son of Kyrpinga Orm Sveinsson.  He earned his reputation crusading with Rögnvald Kali Kolsson, the Earl of Orkney in the Mediterranean from 1152 to 1155. Erling first sailed to the Holy Land, then Constantinople, and lastly visited Rome. During a battle with Arab warriors on Sicily a sword-wielding Arab cut Erling in the neck. This caused him from then on to tilt his head to one side ("skakke" means slanted). He was married to Kristin Sigurdsdatter, the daughter of King Sigurd Jorsalfar.

Erling was the guardian of King Inge I of Norway and was one of the leaders of  the Lendman Party (lendmannspartiet)  after King Inge's death in 1161. Erling Skakke managed to have elected his son, Magnus Erlingsson as the king of Norway in 1161 and crowned in 1163, at the age of eight. Erling took the title of Jarl and held the real power since Magnus was a minor.

In 1166, Sigurd Agnhatt and his foster son Olav Ugjæva raised a force in Oppland, and had Olav proclaimed king, while earl Erling Skakke was away in Denmark. Olav was the son of Maria Øysteinsdotter, the daughter of former King Øystein Magnusson. After Erling returned to Norway to fight this uprising, Olav and his men attacked Erling in an ambush at Rydjokul in Sørum. Erling was wounded and barely escaped. In 1168 Olav and his men ventured south to the Oslofjord area, but were there defeated in battle at Stanger in Våler. Sigurd was killed in the battle, but Olav escaped and went to Denmark.

When Sverre Sigurdsson became the leader of the Birkebeiner, Erling's position was compromised, and he fell at the Battle of Kalvskinnet outside Nidaros in 1179. King Sverre honoured his fallen opponent by giving a speech at his funeral in the church.  Erling was a talented man, but he was not always known for noble qualities. His enemies were ruthless, especially when it concerned their own position and that of their sons. In 1164, he founded Halsnøy Abbey, a monastery of Augustinian Canons, at Halsnøy on the Hardangerfjord.

SCHUMER URGES U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT TO CHOOSE SENECA FALLS, NY - BIRTHPLACE OF WOMEN'S RIGHTS MOVEMENT - AS SITE FOR ONE OF TREASURY'S UPCOMING PUBLIC INPUT TOWN HALLS ON NEW $10 BILL DESIGN, SENATOR ALSO OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES HIS 'WHICH GREAT AMERICAN WOMAN SHOULD BE FEATURED ON FEDERAL CURRENCY?' CAMPAIGN; VOTE NOW AT: SCHUMER.SENATE.GOV/VOTE-TODAY
U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew Announced The $10 Bill Will Be Redesigned To Feature A Woman By 2020, The 100th Anniversary Of The 19thAmendment, Which Guaranteed Women The Right To Vote
Schumer Says It Is Time We Have An American Woman Represented On Our Paper Currency; The Public Should Have A Say In The Decision As Soon As Possible – And Seneca Falls in NY, As Birthplace of the Women's Suffrage Movement, Should Be The Site For One of Treasury's Town Hall Meetings Open to the Public for Input
Schumer: Vote Today To Help Decide Which Great New York Woman Should Be Featured On The $10 Bill
Standing at the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, NY, Senator Charles E. Schumer today launched a major push to urge the U.S. Department of the Treasury to choose Seneca Falls as a site for one of the Treasury Department's upcoming public input town halls on the new $10 bill design. On June 17th, Secretary Jack Lew announced the $10 bill would be redesigned to feature a woman in spirit of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which guaranteed women the right the vote. The Treasury Department plans to have the $10 bill redesigned by 2020 and will hold several town-hall style meetings in locations across the country in order to determine which American woman will appear on the new $10 bill.
Schumer said choosing Seneca Falls would have symbolic power because it has historical significance as the birthplace of the women's rights movement. In July 1848, America's first "Women's Rights Convention" was held and produced the Declaration of Sentiments, which inspired and guided the drive for women's equality to this very day. Schumer also officially launched his online poll: 'Which Great American Woman Should Be Featured on Federal Currency?' campaign, in which he will be asking NY State residents for their input on which great New York woman should be featured on the redesigned $10 bill.
"Seneca Falls was the founding site of one of our country's most important political and social movements – the women's rights movement – and because of its unique historical standing it should serve as host to one of the public input town halls to discuss which great American woman will be featured on the $10 bill redesign," said Schumer. "It is only fitting that the input of a town so ingrained in the history of women's suffrage play an integral part in the process that will finally place a woman – and hopefully a New Yorker – on the $10 bill as this nation celebrates the 100th anniversary of the 19thAmendment."
Schumer continued, "And in addition to serving as a lasting testament to the courage of the women and men who started a movement in the Rochester Finger Lakes region that led to women getting the ballot – a giant step forward in the progress of our democracy – I am asking New Yorkers across the state to let their voice be heard. Being able to provide feedback on such an important issue is exactly why these woman fought so long and hard for equal treatment under the law."
Schumer explained that many great New Yorkers, including Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Eleanor Roosevelt, and more dedicated their lives to creating true democracy in a time when women had no right to vote and slavery was commonplace throughout much of the nation. Schumer said the political and social movements launched by these women and many like them across New York State and the country transformed American society. At the heart of this struggle was the Town of Seneca Falls, where, in 1848, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott joined with 300 other women at the First Women's Rights Convention. It was at this convention that these women presented and passed the Declaration of Sentiments, which demanded woman have the right to vote. Therefore, Schumer said that as the birthplace of the women's suffrage movement, it is only fitting that the input of a town so ingrained in the history of women's rights play an integral part in the process to place a woman on the $10 bill. Schumer urged Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to choose Seneca Falls as the site for one of the Treasury Department's upcoming town halls where it will ask for public input on the new $10 bill design.
In addition to saying that Seneca Falls should be a clear choice as a site for one of the public input town halls, Schumer launched his online poll: 'Which Great American Woman Should Be Featured on Federal Currency?' campaign. Through this poll Schumer will be asking NY State residents for their responses and feedback on which great New Yorker should be featured in the redesign of the $10 bill. Schumer explained that the Treasury Department announced two weeks ago that the $10 bill would be redesigned in spirit of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which guaranteed women the right the vote, and will be rolled out in 2020. Schumer said that, between now and when the decision is made at the end of the year, the public should have sufficient say in the decision making process.
Those who are interested in participating in the poll should visit schumer.senate.gov/vote-today.
Schumer was joined by Jeanne Giovannini, President of the National Women's Hall of Fame Board of Directors, members of the board, members from the Women's Rights National Historic Park, members from the Seneca Falls Historical Society, and elected officials.
"The Women's National Hall of Fame would like to thank Senator Schumer for working to secure a Town Hall meeting here in Seneca Falls, the birthplace of the women's rights movement. The Hall has supported Womenonthe20s, and we were delighted to hear that the Treasury Department was interested in putting a woman on the $10 bill, an effort we are supporting. Having women on our U.S. currency is an honor long overdue," said Jeanne Giovannini, President of the National Women's Hall of Fame Board of Directors.
A copy of Senator Schumer's letter to Treasury Secretary Jack Lew appears below:
Dear Secretary Lew,
On June 17th the Department of the Treasury announced that a portrait of a woman would be featured on the newly redesigned $10 bill to be put into circulation in 2020. As part of that announcement you highlighted that Treasury would be seeking input from interested parties as to who would be the most appropriate selection. You specifically mentioned that Treasury would be soliciting input and feedback through round-table discussions and town hall meetings. It is in response to that announcement that I am writing to urge the Department of the Treasury to choose the Town of Seneca Falls, New York as a site for one of Treasury's upcoming public town halls in the coming months.
As we approach the 100th anniversary of the passing of the 19th Amendment, and look to honor a woman to be featured on our paper currency, it is important to include the input of a town that has been ingrained in the history of the movement for women's rights. I believe that the historical significance and its continued connection to the honoring of the fight for women's rights makes Seneca Falls a clear choice as one of the hosts for a town-hall discussion of which woman best exemplifies "a champion for our inclusive democracy."
As you may know, the Town of Seneca Falls is the birthplace of the women's rights movement and home to the National Women's Hall of Fame. In fact, the Women's Rights National Historical Park, which preserves the sites associated with the 1848 First Women's Rights Convention, is located in Seneca Falls. During this convention, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott and over 300 other women and men presented and passed the Declaration of Sentiments that demanded woman have the right to vote.
Seneca Falls was where those women and many others gathered to advance the cause of human and civil rights, in the name of creating a better democracy. Those intrepid advocates knew the true meaning of democracy and dedicated their lives to making our nation more closely reflect that ideal. Seneca Falls is where they made their voices heard and should similarly be a place where today's voices are heard as to how best to honor their achievements.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Charles E. Schumer
