Conductor makes impressive lakefront debut with French music, mostly from the dark side
Thu Jul 16, 2009 at 1:11 pm
By Wynne Delacoma
Albrecht Durer: The Knight, Death and the Devil. 1513.
The title of Wednesday night's Grant Park Orchestra concert, "Dances and Fairy Tales," couldn't have been more innocently inviting. But demons also lurked in the ingenious French program featuring music by Jacques Offenbach, Cesar Franck, Maurice Ravel and Albert Roussel, which marked the Grant Park debut of conductor Gilbert Varga.
Offenbach's Overture to Orpheus in the Underworld offered Satan at his most suavely seductive while Franck's symphonic poem, Le Chasseur Maudit (The Accursed Huntsman), gave us a swaggering miscreant literally hell-bent as he galloped toward damnation.
Ravel's Mother Goose Suite transported us to fairyland. But coming after two forays into Satan's realm, it was a subtle reminder that, no matter what our age, we humans are complicated creatures. We can be as fascinated by dark shadows as we can by Ravel's charming evocations of Sleeping Beauty and Chinese pagodas. The program's final work, Roussel's sinewy Suite No. 2 from his 1930 ballet Bacchus et Ariane, straddled the worlds of innocence and experience, juxtaposing the transcendent joy of romantic love with the edgier delights of good wine and hearty revels.
With his mane of grey-white hair, the European-based Varga is an assured, experienced conductor, decades into a career that is attracting increasing attention in the U.S. Born in London and the son of one of Hungary's leading violinists, Varga has been a frequent guest conductor with the Minnesota Orchestra and the St. Louis Symphony and appeared with the Philadelphia Orchestra and orchestras in Indianapolis, Dallas, Detroit and Milwaukee as well.
In the first half of the program, Varga seemed concerned with making enough sound to fill the Grant Park Orchestra's vast outdoor space. Maybe it was just a matter of working out amplification levels, but heard from the middle of the pavilion seats, the Overture to Orpheus in the Underworld and Le Chasseur Maudit sounded louder than they needed to be. Especially in the Orpheus Overture, Offenbach's delicious contrasts between hearty good cheer and airy intimacy weren't quite as beguiling as they can be.
This was merely a matter of scale, however, and Varga certainly didn't push his tempos. Within every piece, he paid close attention to musical detail, and Grant Park's talented musicians responded with the kind of expressive, beautifully polished playing that has become the orchestra's standard. When they launched into the famous can-can portion of Offenbach's Overture, the dancing girls they conjured up may have been jovial country lasses rather than sophisticated, lighter-than-air Parisiennes. But there was a lot to love in those high-spirited girls and the brightly colored musical world in which they lived.
The orchestra's horn section, led by principal Jonathan Boen, was resplendent in Franck's symphonic poem. In the opening bars, their resonant call to the hunt was arresting. Dogs being walked on Michigan Avenue may have pricked up their ears and strained to join the arrogant Count who invited the Lord's wrath by riding off to the hunt on a Sunday.
Franck's alternation of solemn hymns and frantic hunt was beautifully drawn. Throughout the evening, the orchestra's principal players, especially the winds, provided subtly colored solos. But in Le Chasseur waves of sound from each section of the orchestra drove the action, from the tension-filled pulse of the low strings and percussion to the ominous, descending march of the brasses.
After all that wrestling with Satan, Ravel's Mother Goose Suite came as a welcome, sweet-tempered interlude. Varga let the music unfold quietly. In the "Hop o' My Thumb" section, Mary Stolper's flute darted above the strings' seamless song like a mischievous bird.
Roussel's Bacchus et Ariane Suite No. 2 was a well-chosen finale for this Gallic program, a rebuke to the stereotype of French music as elusively Impressionistic. Roussel has his own musical voice, but this suite, written in 1930, has more than a few hints of Stravinsky's off-kilter, propulsive rhythms and Prokofiev's spiky harmonies. In Bacchus' lusty dances, there is even a glimpse of the bitter humor that would become a signature of Shostakovich.
Varga and his players reveled in the music's sweep, whether relaxing into lush, romantic song for the two lovers or racing and plunging through the final, heady celebration. At one point, the orchestra's percussion positively boiled over into gleeful clamor. Intoxicating music, just the thing for a summer concert in the city.
The program will be repeated 7:30 p.m. Saturday. www.grantparkfestival.com; 312-742-7638


Walton-based Eaton Asphalt will handle the project which includes resurfacing, and drainage and base work.
Work will focus on I-75 northbound and southbound between milepoints 152 and 157.7, and include milling old asphalt, replacing the road base and resurfacing. The project will also address slide and drainage repairs. Signage along the I-75 corridor in Grant County will be updated.
Crews will perform similar work between milepoints 166 and 162.5.
Work will begin the week of Monday, October 22. During the project, there will be single lane closures. Double lane closures may be in place from 9 p.m. until 6 a.m.
The project has an overall completion date of June 2019.

Johann Emanuel Schleich (* um 1684 in Tübingen; † 1729 ebenda) war ein württembergischer Maler. Er war der Vater des Tübinger Malers Johann Gabriel Schleich (1710–1743).

Leben
Johann Emanuel Schleich war ein Sohn des Tübinger Konstablers und Malers Johann Heinrich Schleich (um 1651–1715), von dem er auch zum Maler ausgebildet wurde. Er arbeitete überwiegend als Porträtmaler. Zu seinen Kunden mussten unter anderem auch Angehörige der Universität gehören, weil er das "akademische Bürgerrecht" besaß. Über diese Porträts lässt sich nichts sagen, weil kein signiertes Bild bekannt ist.

In einem gemeinsamen Schreiben mit Johann Gottfried Schreiber, und Johann Glocker beklagte sich Schleich 1717 bei dem Universitätssenat über Johann Christoph Kayßer, dass sich dieser unbefugt in Tübingen aufhielte, und ihnen die schon sowieso in Tübingen knappe Arbeit wegnähme.

Schleich malte neben den Bildnissen auch religiöse Bilder, z. B. für die Tübinger Schlosskirche.

Been a while, i added a whole new place, a magic university.
Medieval town with port. Farms and cattle ranches surrounds the town. Town is fortified all around with walls and towers. Two trading ships are waiting to be loaded at the port of this mining-farming town. Great church at the central square is pride of it's citizens.


The main venue for the Euro 2012 football championship in Kiev currently presents an upsetting picture – crumbling walls, contractors disputing a tender in court and the government dragging its feet over the whole project.
Michele Platini, the UEFA president, arrived in Kiev amid doubts that Eastern European neighbors, Ukraine and Poland, could host the tournament. The French have called for tough work in order to make a credible showing.
The Ukrainian government faces constant criticism for its slow progress both from abroad and its own people. Bumpy roads, outdated airports and Soviet-built stadiums all fall far short of European standards.
The government has dismissed a Taiwanese firm hired to rebuild the main venue in Kiev and has not approved a new contractor yet.
A former secretary of the Ukrainian Football Federation Anatoly Popov is doubtful that the country can complete the project on time.
"They've wasted a year. The sooner our government admits it the better. Nothing has been done so far. They won a tender thanks to colourful pictures instead of real roads, construction sites or stadiums. It's like UEFA gave us an advance but we are failing to pay it back," Anatoly Popov says.
Political squabbling between President Yushchenko and Prime Minister Timoshenko ahead of the 2010 presidential vote seems to be hampering preparations as well. But both are still trying to put a positive spin on things.
"Ukraine is honoured to host the championship. We are very grateful to you. Our Ukrainian team says that we will do everything, even the impossible if needed. It will be a feast of football for the whole world," pledges Timoshenko.
Michelle Platini said they have no contingency plan if the co-hosts fail the project. But Italy, Scotland, Croatia and Hungary are breathing down Ukraine's neck in case they stumble.
Ukraine to play 'Totalitarian' Football?

Republicans gear up to renominate Trump
Aug. 21, 2020 at 11:29 am Updated Aug. 21, 2020 at 2:13 pm
Work is done on Thursday on a stage for the Republican National Convention on the South Lawn of the White House. The convention next week will kick off with an in-person roll call on Monday in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Doug Mills / The New York Times)
Annie Karni
Next up for convention weirdness: the Republican Party.
A group of delegates — six representing each state, territory and the District of Columbia for a total of 336 — is expected to begin arriving this weekend for the Republican National Convention before a formal roll call Monday morning in Charlotte, North Carolina. There, President Donald Trump will be nominated in a ballroom at the Charlotte Convention Center to lead his party for another four years.
The gathering will be muted compared with what was originally envisioned, before the coronavirus pandemic upended both parties' convention plans.
Charlotte, originally prepared to host a raucous presidential renomination celebration, will now be where the procedural party business will take place. Republican National Committee members will gather over the weekend for their annual summer meeting. And Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and a group of congressional lawmakers are expected to arrive Monday for the televised, in-person roll call and for brief nomination speeches.
The Democrats held four nights of virtual programming this week for the Democratic National Convention. Next week, the Republicans will take over the Mellon Auditorium in Washington as the hub for their broadcasts, and the main speeches will take place at the White House and at Fort McHenry in Maryland.
But Charlotte, selected more than two years ago as the site for the Republican National Convention, has the distinction this year of being the only in-person portion of either party's quadrennial gathering.
"I'm very excited about attending," said Laura Cox, chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party. She said the delegation representing her state was chosen months ago, when the plan was to take a chartered plane directly from Charlotte to Jacksonville, Florida, after the roll call, for the rest of the convention. "People are sad not to be able to participate in the convention, but at least there's this piece of it," Cox said.
In June, Trump abruptly moved the convention to Jacksonville after reaching a stalemate with Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina, a Democrat, over social distancing rules. The president had no interest in speaking in front of a less-than-packed arena because delegates were forced to stand 6 feet away from one another.
But Trump was eventually forced to scrap the Jacksonville plans in favor of four nights of virtual prime-time programming that will feature party leaders speaking from a variety of federal properties. (The Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from engaging in political activities while on the job, be damned.)
Even just bringing delegates together in person — and indoors — has required months of planning by Republican officials, who submitted a 42-page health plan to North Carolina officials and hired a doctor, Jeffrey W. Runge, to serve as a senior adviser to the convention proceedings.
The result, at least optically, will be exactly the scene Trump had hoped to avoid: a cavernous room that, because of social distancing requirements, will look mostly empty — if people follow the rules. The roll call, during which delegates enumerate their votes and sing the praises of their states, will be done by people whose faces are covered by masks.
But Trump is still expected to attend Monday, to thank delegates and to deliver a brief nomination speech, although his appearance in Charlotte was not confirmed as of Thursday night.
Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, had been deliberating with Trump about who should deliver the speech "seconding" his nomination, but the president had yet to choose, according to a person involved in the discussions.
McDaniel praised the party's commitment to having at least part of the gathering in person.
"Democrats have abandoned Wisconsin for two elections in a row," she said, referring to their decision to forgo any in-person piece of their convention that had been set to be held in Milwaukee before the pandemic. "But we were not going to let the governor's partisan politics come between us and our commitment to North Carolina."
Even Trump detractors said bringing together Republican Party die-hards from across the country had some political advantage.
"Waving the middle finger to public health guidelines, the 'political establishment' and the 'mainstream media' in the form of an in-person roll call amid the pandemic is a great way to invigorate his hard-core base," said Lucy Caldwell, a Republican strategist and adviser to former Rep. Joe Walsh of Illinois, who challenged Trump this year in the Republican primary race.
Leading up to kickoff weekend, Republican National Convention attendees were asked to stay at home as much as possible beginning Aug. 6, before their travel, to reduce potential exposure to the coronavirus. While in Charlotte, attendees are expected to have their temperatures taken before entering the venue and then given a daily "health-pass bracelet" that will allow them to participate, according to a copy of the Republicans' health plan obtained by The New York Times.
All attendees are expected to maintain at least a 6-foot distance from one another while inside the venue, and the Republican National Committee said it would enforce a statewide mask mandate and provide masks, gloves, portable hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes to all attendees. The committee also said it planned to contact every attendee five, 14 and 21 days after the event to track the possible spread of the coronavirus.
The health protocols have helped ease concerns from local Democratic officials who were apprehensive about a large-scale gathering.
"They've got a plan, and they've outlined it, and, I, at least, believe it's been well thought out," said Larken Egleston, a Democratic City Council member in Charlotte. Egleston said Runge had briefed the council and was "doing his job in a nonpartisan way."
"I'm glad that it's not the convention that we originally thought it would be," Egleston said. "But as scaled back as it is, I think it can be done safely."
But the Republican National Committee was still hoping to provide some kind of enjoyable social experience for attendees. Delegates and members will have the option to go to a jazz club and have dinner out, according to a person involved in the planning, who said that despite all of the health precautions, they still wanted to "normalize" the experience.

Dirty Girl Coffee, in collaboration with JobsOhio, Ohio Southeast Economic Development (OhioSE) and the Athens County Economic Development Council (ACEDC), has announced the company is investing at least $149,958 to renovate a building on High Street where it will expand its coffee roasting operation.
A $50,000 grant was provided through the JobsOhio Inclusion Grant program, which supports smaller businesses in economically distressed areas and with owners in traditionally disadvantaged groups. The program requires new job creation and capital investment and business activity in an eligible sector such as manufacturing, distribution or technology.
Dirty Girl Coffee is a producer and wholesaler of craft roasted coffee, supplying restaurants, bars and coffee shops and selling retail coffee at dirtygirlcoffee.com. The company was established in 2015 by Jane Cavarozzi and Kara Tripp as a home-based business. Steady sales growth and a positive reputation have resulted from an emphasis on making responsibly-sourced quality coffee and applying their social mission to promote women's economic progress in Appalachia.
The new location is a historic two-story building on High Street in Glouster, where Dirty Girl will install roasting equipment, its packaging and shipping operation, product development, and company offices. The location will also offer a walk-up counter for retail beverage sales. The company plans to create five new jobs as a result of their growth.
"We are so excited to start this new journey," said Jane Cavarozzi, owner Dirty Girl Coffee. "This project will give us the opportunity to expand our operational capabilities and create jobs right here in Glouster, Ohio."
The expansion allows Dirty Girl Coffee to connect more closely with their community through their retail presence. "We believe when women thrive communities thrive," said Cavarozzi. "We are hoping to use this space to have a greater impact on women's economic progress and facilitate our revitalization goals in Glouster."
In addition, the nonprofit Glouster Revitalization Organization (GRO) is studying the feasibility of redeveloping the historic Knights of Pythias Building at 106 High Street, which it acquired in July of this year.
GRO is in the process of engaging architectural services for code review, bid documents, and construction administration. OhioSE is providing a $10,000 grant to support the cost of the study.
GRO will consider various uses for the three story building, depending on their cost and community needs. Future uses under consideration include a small business incubator for local food vendors, co-working space, and a community meeting facility.
GRO has also received support from the Finance Fund in the form of an economic development grant and is seeking to partner with a wide array of community impact organizations as they plan and implement the redevelopment project.
"Glouster has a proud history, and we commend the local entrepreneurs investing to revitalize the downtown and create jobs," said OhioSE President Mike Jacoby. "Ohio Southeast Economic Development and JobsOhio are happy to be able to help."
The 9,000 square foot building was originally home to the local Knights of Pythias fraternal organization. It has been occupied by various businesses over the years but has been vacant since the 1990's.
Jane Cavarozzi is also the GRO Board President. "GRO is working to revitalize Glouster back to the vibrant community it once was," she said. "Our approach (and motto) is 'One building at a time.' Our goal is to create venues for small business by renovating buildings like the Knights of Pythias, creating a strong foundation in which small business can get an affordable start, gain the coaching and guidance needed to be viable, to grow and to succeed."
"The Glouster Revitalization Organization has already done so much for the Glouster Community," said Mollie Fitzgerald, Executive Director of the Athens County Economic Development Council (ACEDC). "Dirty Girl Coffee's revitalization project is a continuation of that great work and the ACEDC is proud to serve as a liaison alongside OhioSE between Dirty Girl and the JobsOhio Inclusion Grant."

This morning my alarm goes off as usual at 7:00 a.m I really don't want to get out of bed immediately, but there is some big chunky bug crawling on the floor in front of my bed.. I get up, put my shoes on and step on the critter. Snap ., crack, pop and that'll teach it a lesson . I go to the bathroom to wash up, but no water comes out . The village has a serious crises, no water, so after breakfast , the hunt is on, to find where or where the break may be. We seem to wander aimlessly Doesn't anybody mark where the pipe runs underground?Half the village is out looking for the leak. Some of the students are excused from school to assist in the search. This could be tougher than seeking out the legendary hyrax. Finally the brake is found close to the water fall. The pipe is reconnected and all should be well. Nope! Somehow they forget to redirect the water to the secondary school. At 4:00 Harman drives down from the secondary school to find out what happened. After a large conference, a valve is turned and the school has water.At 1:00 in the afternoon I teach my final class of geography. Today for every important English term, I also translate the word into Swahili. It really seemed to help the kids. I told the kids "Good show"and they repeat "Good show". Then the rest of the day I relaxed , finished reading my book, did a little geography.

Woah!~ Here is another beach themed birthday card with bits that move! The request was pretty simple - a birthday card with two loving sea turtles. So, I tried to make a card with something moves for ages...and I just got the seesaw idea! I did a little experiment using some scrap cardstock before making the actual card.
It's a bit fiddly to do...but, had fun while making this card. I made two quilled turtles...seesawing, a colorful beach ball and I simply sketched a sand castle on a kraft cardstock and used it as the base card. Well it's not an easy peasy card...but it's unique!
I am the recipient of all these lovely beach cards from Frank, my husband. Thank you so much for making them, they are all very special.
Hey hi...Glad you liked my creations! :) Thanks for visiting my craft corner!

Institute of Integrative Biology Away Day held at St George's Hall
More than 250 scientists from the Institute of Integrative Biology attended Liverpool St George's Hall for the second Institute Away Day.
It brought together staff and students from across the Institute to explore its academic and technical breadth, and to facilitate networking with 30 industrial and public sector guests.
The event focused on knowledge exchange and societal impact and featured talks from the Director of Technology Transfer at the Wellcome Trust, Professor Ted Bianco; Chairman of the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee, Andrew Miller; and Director of the National Oceanography Centre in Liverpool, Professor Andrew Willmott.
Other external speakers included BBC journalist, Victoria Gill, from Media City, Salford, who talked about reporting science research in the national press and the importance of researchers being proactive in promoting their work in the media.
Professor Andy Cossins, Head of the Institute of Integrative Biology, said: "The day was a great success with a near 100% turnout. Staff and students from across the Institute will now have a much better appreciation of the high calibre science underway and the quality of the research facilities available to them."
Discussing research
The programme included a series of talks describing the latest research from the Institute's 11 research groups, including discovery of a novel pheromone system in rodents, published in Science, as well as the sequencing of the wheat genome, published in Nature. Other topics included the development of magnetic nanoparticle approaches for tracking stem cells in tissues.
Atomic force
Dr Luning Liu described the new atomic force microscopy capability for bioscience applications including its use in high resolution mapping of nano-scale multi-protein topologies in photosynthetic membranes.
Postgraduate students from the Institute presented two-minute 'taster' talks on their projects as part of a competition to win a mini iPad. Prize winners were Quintin Nunes and Achchuthan Shanmugasundram. The talks were followed by a presentation from Dr Zen Lewis, who outlined the Athena Swan programme which aims to provide work/life balance across the Institute and retain female researchers through the PhD, post-doctoral and tenure transitions.

You are here: Home / Farming / AgTech Symposium in the South East highlights major strengths and opportunities where Agriculture and Technology collide!
The Local Enterprise Offices of the South East Region, including Tipperary, Kilkenny, Carlow, Wexford and Waterford, coordinated a forward thinking AgTech Symposium held in Thurles on Thursday. The inaugural Agricultural Technology initiative has been funded under the Action Plan for Jobs LEO Competitive Funds. Other key stakeholders involved in the event include Enterprise Ireland, Teagasc, The Department of Agriculture, Institutes of Technology, Agriforvalour and TSSG to mention but a few.
A large number of attendees at the conference included farmers, engineers, AgTech companies, investors, entrepreneurs and those with an interest in emerging technologies for agriculture. The aim of the symposium is to grow, progress and increase profitability with AgTech across the region.
AgTech Symposium in the South East today highlights major strengths and opportunities where Agriculture and Technology collide!
The Local Enterprise Offices of the South East Region have coordinated a forward thinking AgTech Symposium held in Thurles today, an initiative funded under the Action Plan for Jobs. Other key stakeholders involved in the event include Enterprise Ireland, Teagasc, The Department of Agriculture, Institutes of Technology, Agriforvalour and TSSG to mention but a few. Attendees at the conference included farmers, engineers, AgTech companies, investors, entrepreneurs and those with an interest in emerging technologies for agriculture. The aim of the symposium is to grow, progress and increase profitability with AgTech across the region.
Ireland is extremely progressive in both agriculture and technology and this symposium aims to highlight opportunities that will capitalise on our strengths in the emerging AgTech sector. AgTech is developing at pace across the country and the agencies involved are anxious to bring increased focus to this area in the South and East, that will lead to opportunities, innovation, connections, strategic alliances and targeted supports.
The morning conference saw key industry leaders in agriculture, technology and drivers of AgTech innovation, along with entrepreneurs from successful start-ups, the investor community and farmers who are embracing AgTech on their farms engage in insightful panel discussions.
The conference heard from farmers who sought new technologies which enabled them to produce more while reducing the effect on their land. Farmers told their story how they pioneered new business models to capture more of the value which they grow. These were the types of farmers who would never be satisfied that their business has been optimised and continually try to maximise performance within the confines of the land which they farm.
Barry Caslin from Teagasc said "Industry has to become smarter through the use of technology to add value along our food supply chains. The farmers leading the way in adopting the new technologies will ultimately accelerate the movement that transforms the global agri-food system into one which will efficiently feed nine billion people by 2050".
The technology is already here to geo-reference each field, layer in satellite and other data systems such as biomass indices to determine yields. These new technologies will radically transform how information is transferred to growers on a field by field level.
Given the speed at which technology is advancing, it is important for farmers to choose systems that would not be dated in 15 years' time. A clear message from the symposium was that the farm will perform well when farmers show an openness and willingness to adopt the new technologies available to them to make the farm more efficient and profitable.
The biggest constraint on change is the status quo. Opportunities in bio-economy, sensors and genetic engineering were discussed during the symposium workshops. The main message was that the biggest driver of change are farmers who understands why they are farming and has a vision of what they are seeking to achieve from their business. It is these farmers who are prepared to stand out who will show the path to a more prosperous future. They will set the standards that others will, ultimately, aspire to and have to meet to retain their licence to operate.

SELECT Futsal Premier League – Round 14 Open Women's Review
SELECT Futsal Premier League round-14 has set up a semi-final beauty!
Inner West Magic finished with a convincing 5-0 rout of Mascot Vipers to clear the field by nine points – the first known women's team to go undefeated throughout summer, but surprisingly one point short of their record 37 tally in 2015/16.
Elsewhere Campbelltown Quake stunned Mountain Majik 4-2 and UTS Northside beat Enfield Allstars 7-2 to maintain their third and fourth positions, while Dural Warriors came up short against Eastern Suburbs Hakoah, falling 2-1 to end the season last.
The table shows Inner West (36) ahead of Mountain (27), Campbelltown (24) and Northside (24), followed by Easts (17), Mascot (12), Enfield (10) and Dural (9) – the bottom three sides all suffering five one-goal defeats this summer.
This sets up a delicious semi-final knockout at Sydney Olympic Park Sports Halls where Magic plays UTS and Majik face Quake on Saturday, January 19.
Majik's Ashlie Crofts (24) scored for the first time in four games to claim this summer's golden boot, Hakoah's Tamires Souza (15), Magic duo Rhianna Pollicina (14) and Ceyda Cambaz (13) and Quake's Linda Dudek (10) the only players to reach double-figures.
And while Inner West (192 points) celebrated a massive club-championship win ahead of Mascot (165), Mountain (153), Campbelltown (135), Easts (133) and Northside (121), it was heartbreak for Dural (111) as they fell three points short of Enfield (114) and will be relegated from premier league.
Mountain Majik 2 (Ashlie Crofts, own goal) Campbelltown Quake 4 (Linda Dudek, Zoeie Redman 2, own goal)
Inner West Magic 5 (Rhianna Pollicina 2, Amy Dahdah, Ceyda Cambaz, Bianca Galic) Mascot Vipers 0
UTS Northside 7 (Maddison Zahra, Olivia Paton, Sarah Roger, Ariella Cabezas, Daisy Arrowsmith, Holly Caspers 2) Enfield Allstars 2 (Tiarne Schuman, Lara White)
Eastern Suburbs Hakoah 2 (Lareane Bachega, Tamires Souza) Dural Warriors 1 (Luseane Cook)
Quake shake Mountain
Campbelltown Quake continued their excellent turn of form with a stirring 4-2 win against top-two Mountain Majik at Blacktown Leisure Centre on Saturday afternoon.
The visitors got off to a dream start when a Bethany Gordon back-stick cross ricocheted off a Majik player into goal, but they won't want to watch Mountain's equaliser too many times as Ashlie Crofts received a great pass from a Quake player in front of goal to nudge in the leveler.
Campbelltown restored their lead when Mel Walsh played a nice ball to a free Darcey Malone, who went one-on-one with Majik keeper Regan Hill and squared-up Linda Dudek for the tap-in, and it was 3-1 after Dudek beat her player down the line to assist Zoeie Redman.
Mountain stayed in the contest when a good recovery run for Quake's Steph Haaring ended badly with a challenge that resulted in the ball flying into the back of her own net to make it 3-2, and Majik sniffed a chance as they switched on a fifth-man powerplay, only for Redman to steal the ball mid-court and rifle in a fourth from halfway that sealed a 4-2 victory.
The result didn't change any ladder positions but gave Quake all the confidence they needed as the two sides face-off again in next year's finals weekend.
It's definitely Campbelltown's best summer since their 2013/14 premiership-championship double and coach Mel Keith is keen to add a few more feathers to her cap – all due to a great team spirit.
"We deserved it today. While Majik did have other chances with Crofty hitting the bar twice, we stood tall and continued to challenge an amazing Regan Hill and the Majik defense," she said.
"We now take them on in the semis in what should be a cracker!"
Back-to-back losses didn't stop second-placed Majik from recording its best open women's comp, earning three more points than a third-place finish in 2013/14.
Mountain coach Adam Barbera is adamant they have the ability to claim some silverware from a stellar season.
"Obviously it's not ideal going into the finals off the back of two losses, but we all know what we have to fix and that we're a good side capable of beating anyone," he said.
"Quake are a real tough side to play against. They compete for everything and have some really experienced players.
"Although we weren't at our best we still managed to create a good number of chances, however our lack of conviction in front of goal cost us.
"A couple of lapses in concentration defensively allowed Quake to get opportunities that they finished well," Barbera said.
"Going into the final series we're happy of the progression we've made this season and where we finished, and we're excited at the prospect of getting some revenge against teams we haven't been able to beat this far."
Remarkably, Mountain Majik hasn't beaten any of the other finalists this summer (three draws, three losses) – but they eclipsed everyone else twice.
Inner West maul Mascot
Inner West Magic completed the perfect summer with a resounding 5-0 victory over Mascot Vipers at Valentine Sports Park on Saturday afternoon.
Rhianna Pollicina was in scintillating form scoring two and assisting twice, as Amy Dahdah, Ceyda Cambaz and Bianca Galic added the extras in a five-goal shutout.
It's a 20th match unbeaten if you include their four-game Futsal Cup march and add on the two victories from last-season's ending, and completely underlined Magic's dominance to earn a third premiership in four years.
Inner West's 46 goals scored is the lowest output from a premier in the last seven years, but 14 goals leaked is the best concession of any team over the same period (next-best is Dural's 16 in 2015/16 and 19 in 2012/13).
Magic coach Matteo Maiorana simply doesn't have enough words or time to describe how he feels about his team.
"It was one of our best games of the season!" he said.
"The most pleasing thing wasn't the win but the performance; every one of our goals were created from movement patterns and things we have worked on."
"The quality and the unselfishness from all the girls today was absolutely first class.
"I'm so proud of them. We've had to overcome a lot as a group this season, but an undefeated Premiership is just reward.
"Two games to go will top off an incredible season."
Northside defeat Enfield
UTS Northside made short work of Enfield Allstars in a solid 7-2 win at PCYC Dee Why on Saturday afternoon.
It was academic for Northside, allocated fourth spot by Campbelltown's earlier victory, but they were red-hot and clinical against Enfield and jumped to a 4-0 halftime cushion before finishing off the job in the second term.
It was UTS' fourth straight win over Allstars, who only avoided the wooden spoon thanks to a Warriors defeat in the last game of the year, and Northside could be forgiven for thinking Groundhog Day after finishing fourth for the fourth-straight season.
They are yet to make a grand final, but it was their highest points-total since entering premier league and coach Danny Beauchamp wants to keep the good times going.
"Convincing performance; the girls were thorough and efficient," he said. "I'm looking forward to a semi-final against Inner West Magic."
Easts dump Dural
It may not have had much bearing on the women's comp but Eastern Suburbs Hakoah played a unique historical role in their 2-1 dismissal of Dural Warriors at All Sorts Indoor Sports Centre on Saturday night.
Not only did the loss consign Dural to bottom spot a year after making the grand final, but it also pushed Warriors out of premier league altogether as the club failed to gather enough points to gain ground on Enfield.
There was plenty of feeling on court as Dural suited up for a match that had massive consequences for the club, and they were right in it locked at 1-1 at the break, but a decisive second-half Easts goal secured a tight 2-1 win – the third straight scoreline between the sides this summer after Warriors won a Futsal Cup round-of-16 clash a week before Hakoah won their round-seven clash.
Dural's lowly position is in stark contrast to six straight years of making the finals (top-two in four of those summers), scoring 16 goals less than their previous low-mark of 29 when they placed third in 2016/17.
Next year's finals
SELECT Futsal Premier League takes a beautiful summer break and lets all the playoff-bound clubs ready themselves for semi-final battle at Sydney Olympic Park Sports Halls on Saturday, January 19 (both matches start 4pm): Inner West Magic play UTS Northside, and Mountain Majik face Campbelltown Quake.

Most organizations are good at procuring IT products, but few are truly good at acquiring infrastructure services.
The lack of expertise in acquiring services is problematic – not only is the acquisition process for services more complex, but it also often has high stakes with large deal sizes, long-term contracts, and high switching costs.
Don't treat infrastructure service acquisitions lightly. Not only are failure rates high, but the stakes are high as well.
Make sure your RFP strategy aligns with your deal value. Large deals, characterized by high monthly spend, high criticality to the organization, and high switching costs, warrant a more thorough and lengthy planning period and RFP process.
Word your RFP carefully and do your due diligence when reviewing SLAs. Make sure your RFP will help you understand what the vendor's standard offerings are and don't treat your service level agreements like an open negotiation. The vendor's standard offerings will be your most reliable options.
Follow this blueprint to avoid common pitfalls and navigate the tricky business of acquiring infrastructure services.
This blueprint will provide step-by-step guidance from assessing your acquisition goals to transitioning your service. Make sure you do the due diligence required to acquire the best service for your needs.
Read our concise Executive Brief to find out why you should follow the blueprint to effectively acquire infrastructure services, review Info-Tech's methodology, and understand the four ways we can support you in completing this project.
Kick off an acquisition by establishing acquisition goals, validating the decision to acquire a service, and structuring an acquisition approach. There are several RFP approaches and strategies – evaluate the options and develop one that aligns with the nature of the acquisition.
A solid RFP is critical to the success of this project. Assess the current and future requirements, examine the characteristics of an effective RFP, and develop an RFP.
Manage the activities surrounding vendor questions and score the RFP responses to select the best-fit solution.
Perform due diligence in reviewing the SLAs and contract before signing. Plan to transition the service into the environment and manage the vendor on an ongoing basis for a successful partnership.
Establish procurement goals and success metrics.
Develop a projected acquisition timeline.
Establish the RFP approach and strategy.
Defined acquisition approach and timeline.
Establish your RFP process and refine your RFP timeline.
Gather requirements for services to build into the RFP.
Evaluate service requirements and targets.

Richie designing maternity range
Pregnant socialite NICOLE RICHIE is expanding her fashion empire to include a line of maternity wear.
Published 5th August 2009
The Simple Life star will soon welcome her second baby with rocker boyfriend Joel Madden and she's taken inspiration from her own growing family to launch a range of clothes specially for expectant mothers.
Richie, who is already mum to 19-month-old daughter Harlow, has teamed up with clothing label A Pea in the Pod to create and model the designs, reports People.com.
She says, "Pea in the Pod is such a known company for pregnant women. They carry great lines, and so when they asked me to create a line for them, I was really excited and eager to do it.
"(When you're pregnant), you really feel like you have to change your whole wardrobe. And that's the last thing a woman wants to go through. So I really tried to make this line to get women excited about wearing clothes.
"I think the pregnant body is beautiful, and I think you should show it off."
Richie also has her own fashion range, House of Harlow, which recently launched a collection of 1960s-style jewellery.

The short answer is yes, you can, and more than you'd think.
Romance author Brenda Hiatt did a survey of indie authors on her blog and 60 authors responded.
On another note, do you consider the file sizes of your Kindle ebooks?
I have to admit, I never think about file sizes in Kindle ebooks at all. However, it's important, not only because readers are annoyed at the time large files take to download, but also because the charges affect your earning.
Amazon charges a download fee based on the size of the final ebook file. This download fee is deducted before any commissions are paid to the publisher or author. That fee ranges from 15 to 30 cents per meg, depending where in the world the customer is located.

Blockchain: The Next Everything
By Stephen Williams
Read by Jonathan Todd Ross
Stephen P. Williams Simon & Schuster Audio
An experienced tech writer fully explains blockchain technology and how it will radically transform the world as we know it in this reader-friendly, illuminating guide—"a book for the nerd but especially for the rest of us scratching our tech-terrified heads" (Patricia Hampl, author of The Art of the Wasted Day). What is blockchain? Why does everyone from tech experts to business moguls to philanthropists believe it is a paradigm-shifting technology, bound to revolutionize society as significantly as the internet? Indeed, why is blockchain touted as The Next Everything? In this deft, fascinating, and easy-to-digest introduction to one of the most important innovations of recent times, Stephen P. Williams answers these questions, revealing how cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are just one example among dozens of transformative applications that this relatively new technology makes possible. He interprets the complexity into digestible anecdotes, metaphors, and straightforward descriptions for readers who don't know tech, and explains all of blockchain's most important aspects: why this so-called digital ledger is unhackable and unchangeable; how its distributed nature may transfer power from central entities like banks, government, and corporations to ordinary citizens around the world; and what its widespread use will mean for society as a whole. In Blockchain: The Next Everything, Williams takes us on a tour through the systems predicted to soon underpin economics, politics, global trade, science, art, and numerous other aspects of our everyday lives. It is a truly extraordinary journey into our future, "a must-read for anyone who wants to understand where the world is headed" (Hunter Lovins, President and Founder of Natural Capitalism Solutions) and "a small miracle: a book about blockchain that helps the rest of us understand what it is" (Ty Montague, author of True Story and Founder of Co:Collective).

Westminster launches Oxford Street consultation
Patrick McDonnell
Westminster City Council has opened a consultation on new proposals for the future of the whole of the Oxford Street area. The council is asking local residents, businesses, workers and visitors for their feedback on plans that would significantly increase walking space throughout the area whilst retaining two-way vehicle movement along the length of Oxford Street.
The council's developed the Place Strategy and Delivery Plan after the pedestrianisation of Oxford Street was put on hold earlier in the year.
The fresh strategy has identified some 96 projects across 87 streets and spaces in nine zones, including proposals for major improvements at Oxford Circus, Marble Arch and Cavendish Square. The strategy has looked at each street in order to understand what needs to be done to enhance the heritage and character.
A draft Place Strategy was developed over the summer following rounds of discussion with 50 stakeholder groups, including residents, businesses and workers in the district, young people and special interest groups.
The city council is planning to set aside £50m each year for the next three years to deliver the strategy. It is also calling on private and public sector partners to back the improvements.
Richard Beddoe, Cabinet Member for Place Shaping and Planning, said: "We want everyone with an interest in Oxford Street's future to share their views through our consultation. We recognise that a major overhaul is urgently required. That's why we have a new district wide plan with over 90 different projects proposed across 85 separate locations."
However, the proposals have come in for criticism by campaign groups.
Joe Irvin, Chief Executive Officer of sustainable walking charity Living Streets, said: "The proposals from the City of Westminster are no doubt a step in the right direction. But the problems of road safety, overcrowding and pollution in Oxford Street, together with the challenge to its retail offer, require a transformative plan and we are not convinced these proposals are enough to meet the challenges facing Oxford Street. We also remain concerned that traffic domination across the wider area is not being adequately addressed."
Jeremy Leach, of the London Living Streets Group, said: "There are some positive proposals in the draft plan but they could go far further. A more radical approach is needed to tackle the wider problems that the West End faces from too much traffic, high numbers of road casualties and poor air quality. London Living Streets Group wants to see the plan deliver far greater benefits to the surrounding neighbourhoods. We are of course happy to engage with the council, Transport for London and business and residents groups to turn these ideas into practical plans."

The most recent episode came during the Masters in early April when, as Day leaned over to kiss his daughter Lucy a few minutes before starting the first round, his back seized up again. Day decided to play through the pain. But he couldn't do it without the help of a trainer, who gave him treatment on the second tee. Day would soldier on through the rest of the tournament and managed to finish tied for fifth.
Day's strong showing in Augusta makes him one of the favorites when the Wells Fargo opens Thursday. Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler, along with Justin Rose, the second-ranked player in the world, are also considered good bets to contend.
Day's health remains a wild card. After more than a decade of dealing with back problems, he's not afraid to try new and different remedies.
"I was explaining the other day that I was blowing into balloons," Day said Wednesday after playing in the Wells Fargo's pro-am. "Which is crazy, because I haven't really trained at all this year because I've been so sore."
Day, 31, who seems kind of embarrassed about the balloon therapy, explains that doing so helps get his rib cage, hips and shoulders aligned, thus alleviating pressure on his back. It's a process that takes 20-to-30 minutes, twice a day.
"Blowing into balloons, that's as far as I go," he said of the therapy. "Long story short, I try to keep my rib cage down. My rib cage gets up and then it blocks my mid back and then I can't really turn. So I get it from somewhere else and that's why my back flares up.
"I've got a guy that I pay and he does a really good job with my back."
Wells Fargo Championship Round 1 tee times at Quail Hollow
The Masters episode wasn't new to Day. He withdrew from the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March, also because of back pain. Over his career, he's also played through a thumb and shoulder injuries and had a vertigo attack during the U.S. Open in 2015 (he finished tied for ninth).
"It's hard," Day said of the mental aspects of dealing with injuries. "You have an injury, you feel like your world's ending because this is all you know and this is all you do. You're a professional golfer and this is kind of how you live your life. This is my life. Outside of my family, golf is it.

"Sometimes it's difficult … to ever think, 'Is that the final thing that's going to push me over the line to actually hang up the clubs?' Having a good wife, having a good support system around you, knowing that it's not about right now. It's trying to build to get back to peak performance. That's what you're trying to do."
Growing up in Beaudesert, Australia, golf is all Day has ever known, at least professionally. Like many golfers of his generation, he was inspired by Tiger Woods. His interest in the sport was piqued when he read a book by Woods while he attended a golf academy. He joined the PGA Tour full time in 2008 and won for the first time in 2010 at the Byron Nelson.
Day's victory at Quail Hollow was his second and final of the 2018 season. He would go on to have fairly pedestrian results the rest of the year. He missed the cut at the U.S. Open, finished tied for 17th at the British Open, tied for 19th at the PGA Championship and 18th at the Tour championship. Day is winless thus far this season, but he's been close. He's had five top-10 finishes, including the Players (tie for eighth) and his fifth-place tie at the Masters.
Day was (relatively) pain free at Quail Hollow in 2018, when he won the Wells Fargo by two strokes over Aaron Wise. Day had played unevenly for much of the week, but he finished in style, with birdies on the 16th and 17th holes. He hit one of the tournament's all-time great shots on the par-3 17th – which carries a lake – when his tee shot hit the flag stick and settled a few yards from the hole.
"Last year, I was just trying to get it in," Day said. "I felt like as the week progressed, I couldn't quite find the bottom of my swing and couldn't quite find the fairways. Luckily enough, I had my short game to back myself up on it. It was a tough weekend.
"So being able to get through it and push, you always learn something about yourself and see how far you can actually push yourself."

Our Comfort Care program, which can include both palliative and hospice care, provides for individual resident wishes based on care without curative intent. Advance directives are carefully developed with our residents on admission, and we recognize that upholding dignity is vital during this sensitive time. Our team's purpose is to comfort the resident, help them transition through this phase in their life, and support the family in the process.
While palliative care is often associated with end-of-life comfort care, this specialized medical care for providing symptom relief and stress reduction can be administered to a resident at any time during the treatment of a serious illness, whether terminal or chronic. Our palliative care team works with the resident to identify personal goals and then provides treatment options that are a close match for achieving those goals. The ultimate provision of palliative care is to improve the resident's quality of life. Our team communicates with all resident physicians to gain an understanding and continuum of care that aligns with the resident's goals and treatment selections. Residents' families, doctors and nurses benefit, too, as everyone can work together to decrease suffering and stress, and increase knowledge of the illness and diagnosis.
Symptoms often treated with palliative care include pain, poor appetite, anxiety, depression, fatigue, shortness of breath, and digestive issues such as nausea and constipation. Many other distressing symptoms from an illness can be addressed by this type of care.
Our facility's nursing team offers support to the families and loved ones of a resident going through a Graceful End-of-Life Transition. It is our staff's intention to be mindful of when visitors are present and to anticipate their needs.
We are here to help during a Graceful End-of-Life Transition.
Our staff will check on family members often to assess needs.
Beverages and snack trays will be available throughout the day.
Accommodations for pastoral care or religious traditions are available.
Grief counseling can also be arranged, if desired.
It is our honor to serve those entrusted into our care.
Palliative care is usually covered in full or in part by most insurance plans. To learn more about the costs, please contact our Business Office Manager to discuss payment options.

Wagner Daily: A Closer Look At These ETFs (EPU, ECH)
The major indices posted healthy gains on Wednesday, but on mixed volume. Stocks gapped up at the open and consolidated at the highs for the remainder of the day. All five indices closed at their highest level since the market rally began in early 2009. The S&P 500 led the advance by posting a 0.9% gain on the session. Following closely, the small-cap Russell 2000 and the Nasdaq both finished the day 0.8% higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.7% while the S&P MidCap 400 posted a 0.6% advance.
Turnover finished mixed for the second consecutive day. Volume on the NYSE increased by 2.7%, while the Nasdaq saw volume decline by 1.3% in yesterday's session. Even though trade was somewhat muted, advancing volume outpaced declining volume on both indices. The advancing to declining volume ratio ended the session at 4.7 to 1 on the NYSE and 3.5 to 1 on the Nasdaq. Stocks continue to rally in the absence of serious volume.
IEV hit its stop yesterday and we exited the trade. We are removing THD from the watchlist as we have found it difficult to borrow shares. All other positions remain intact. PHO and PBW have been performing particularly well. PBW finished the day up 1.6% while PHO posted a 1.9% gain.
The iShares MSCI Chile Investable Market ETF (NYSE:ECH) could provide a shorting opportunity with a rally back to the declining 20-day EMA. Prior to yesterday, ECH was under heavy selling pressure for six consecutive sessions. This selloff shattered a seven month trend line in this ETF. ECH found support just below the 20-week EMA (see weekly chart). Note that the horizontal resistance line found on the weekly chart corresponds almost exactly with the 20-day EMA. We will continue to monitor ECH as a possible short candidate.
The iShares MSCI All Peru Capped Index ETF (NYSE:EPU) recently broke its trend line and lost support of the 20-day EMA and the 50-day MA amidst substantial volume. A rally back into resistance at these key moving averages, or a drop below the January 10th low of $46.85, may present an opportunity to short EPU.
Due to the recent whipsaw price action and accompanying gaps, we are inclined to wait for new setups to form rather than chase the market. We are wary that breakouts may not follow through because of light volume in the broad market.
