On October 28, 2014, 18 miners were trapped underground in the Has Sekerler mine, a coal mine in the Turkish town of Ermenek. It is the second major accident at a Turkish mine in six months; the previous one was the Soma mine disaster in May 2014.

Accident
It is believed 18 miners were trapped about 300 meters underground by flooding caused by a broken pipe. In addition to those trapped, 20 workers have either escaped the mine or were rescued from it. Rescue workers are currently working to pump water out from three sections of the mine. On October 30, Energy Minister Taner Yıldız stated that this operation was being hampered by mud and damage within the mine. An official from the mine, which is privately owned, said the chances of the trapped miners making it to safety were slim unless they had been able to reach a safety gallery. Two of the miners' bodies have been located. On November 9, Yıldız said that arrest warrants for eight people had been issued, including the owner of the mine.

Reactions
Tayyip Erdogan, the President of Turkey, cancelled planned Republic Day celebrations due to the accident, and also visited the mine on October 29.

Dragan Stojković (; * 3. März 1965 in Niš, Jugoslawien), auch bekannt unter seinem Spitznamen Piksi (Пикси) (eine Figur aus dem US-amerikanischen Zeichentrickfilm Pixie und Dixie), ist ein ehemaliger jugoslawischer Fußballspieler und -funktionär sowie gegenwärtiger serbischer Fußballtrainer.

Als aktiver Fußballspieler von Roter Stern Belgrad gewann er 1988 und 1990 zweimal die Jugoslawische Meisterschaft und 1990 den Jugoslawischen Pokal. Mit Olympique Marseille errang Stojković 1991 die Französische Meisterschaft und erreichte das Finale des Europapokal der Landesmeister.

Zwei Jahre später folgte eine weitere Meisterschaft sowie der Gewinn der erstmals ausgetragenen Champions League. Nachdem bei Olympique Marseille sein erstes internationales Engagement in der Spielzeit 1993/94 endete, wurde er mit Nagoya Grampus Eight 1995 Japanischer Pokalsieger und 1996 Supercup-Sieger. In Japan erreichte Stojković 1997 das Finale des Asienpokal der Pokalsieger und hatte 1999 einen weiteren Pokalsieg.

Zwischen 1984 und 2001 absolvierte er 85 Länderspiele für die Fußballnationalmannschaft Jugoslawiens bzw. der Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien, bei denen Stojković 15 Tore erzielte. Als Mannschaftskapitän erreichte er mit der jugoslawischen Nationalmannschaft bei der Weltmeisterschaft 1990 in Italien und Europameisterschaft 2000 in Belgien und den Niederlanden das Viertelfinale.

Als Techniker spielte Stojković vorzugsweise im zentralen Mittelfeld als klassischer Spielmacher. Er wird in einigen Quellen als einer der besten jugoslawischen Spieler seiner Generation bezeichnet. 2011 wählte ihn das US-amerikanische Sportmagazin Bleacher Report zu den 100 bedeutendsten Spielern in der Geschichte der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft.

Nach seiner aktiven Karriere war Stojković von 2002 bis 2005 Präsident des Fußballverbandes von Jugoslawien bzw. von Serbien und Montenegro. Zwischen 2005 und 2007 war er Präsident von Roter Stern Belgrad. 2008 übernahm Stojković erstmals die Tätigkeit als Cheftrainer der Profimannschaft von Nagoya Grampus Eight. Er gewann mit der Mannschaft 2010 die erste japanische Meisterschaft der Vereinsgeschichte und ein Jahr darauf den Supercup.

Vereinskarriere

Radnički Niš
Stojković begann seine Profikarriere in seinem Heimatort beim FK Radnički Niš, wo er in der 1. jugoslawischen Liga während der Saison 1981/82 im Alter von 16 Jahren debütierte. In seiner zweiten Saison in Niš wurde Stojković 17 Mal in de Liga eingesetzt und erzielte dabei 1 Tore. Während dieser Saison konnte er sich mit seiner Mannschaft für den UEFA-Pokal qualifizieren.

In der 1. Runde des UEFA-Pokals 1983/84 machte Stojković sein erstes Europapokalspiel gegen den FC St. Gallen. Beim 3:0-Heimsieg stand er in der Anfangsformation und erzielte mit dem 2:0 seinen ersten Treffer auf vereinsinternationaler Ebene. Im Achtelfinale scheitere man am späteren Halbfinalisten Hajduk Split. In der Saison 1983/84 kam er mit 18 Jahren auf insgesamt 27 Ligaeinsätze und drei Treffer.

In der darauffolgenden Saison musste Stojković seinen Wehrdienst absolvieren und konnte über die ganze Saison nicht eingesetzt werde. Sein Verein stieg in die zweite Liga ab. Dort absolvierte Stojković in der Saison 1985/86 weitere 25 Einsätze und erzielte dabei vier Tore. Mit Radnički Niš gelang ihm der Meisterschaftssieg und der direkte Wiederaufstieg. In den insgesamt fünf Spielzeiten bei Radnički Niš kam Stojković auf 70 Ligaeinsätze und acht Tore, sowie sechs Pokalspiele und zwei Tore. 1986 wechselte er mit 21 Jahren zum Rekord- und Vizemeister FK Roter Stern Belgrad.

Roter Stern Belgrad
Sein Debüt für seinen neuen Verein gab er am 10. August 1986 am 1. Spieltag der jugoslawischen Meisterschaft auswärts gegen den FK Priština in der Anfangsformation. Das Spiel endete 1:0 und Stojković erzielte dabei sein erstes Pflichtspieltor. Am 17. September 1986 hatte er seine Europapokal der Landesmeister-Premiere in der Startelf für Roter Stern in der 1. Runde gegen Panathinaikos Athen. Beim 3:0-Heimsieg bereitete Stojković das dritte Tor vor. Im Viertelfinale schied Roter Stern Belgrad gegen Real Madrid aus. In der heimischen Liga hingegen erreichte er mit seiner Mannschaft den dritten Platz und das Halbfinale des jugoslawischen Pokals. In seiner ersten Saison für Roter Stern kam Stojković auf 32 Einsätze und 17 Tore, sowie sechs Pokalspiele.

In der darauffolgenden Saison 1987/88 gelang ihn am 6. September 1987 während des 81. Ewigen Derbys beim 3:2-Auswärtssieg der bisher einzig direkt verwandelte Eckball in der Geschichte dieses Duells. Sein erstes Europapokaltor für Roter Stern erzielte Stojković während des UEFA-Pokals in der 2. Runde gegen den FC Brügge per Elfmeter zum 3:1-Endstand, jedoch scheiterte seine Mannschaft im Rückspiel am späteren Halbfinalisten. Am Ende der Saison wurde Stojković mit Roter Stern zum ersten Mal jugoslawischer Meister und erreichte das Pokalfinale, wo man dem Zweitligisten Borac Banja Luka mit 0:1 unterlag. Zuvor scheiterte Stojković in der 81. Minute beim Stand von 0:1 per Elfmeter am Torwart Slobodan Karalić. In seiner zweiten Saison in Belgrad kam er auf insgesamt 27 Einsätze und 15 Treffer, sowie drei Pokalspiele und 1 Tor. Am Ende der Saison gewann Stojković die Wahl zum Jugoslawiens Fußballer des Jahres.

Im Achtelfinale des Europapokal der Landesmeister 1988/89 trafen die Belgrader auf den AC Mailand. Im San Siro erreichte Roter Stern ein 1:1. Zunächst schoss Stojković die 1:0-Führung. Das Rückspiel wurde in der 64. Minute vom Schiedsrichter Dieter Pauly wegen Nebels abgebrochen und am nächsten Tag wiederholt. Stojković schoss im Wiederholungsspiel den 1:1-Ausgleich. Roter Stern schied letztlich gegen den späteren Pokalsieger nach Elfmeterentscheid aus. 1989 wurde er zum zweiten Mal als Jugoslawiens Fußballer des Jahres gewählt.

Olympique Marseille & Hellas Verona
Nach einer Saison, in der Stojković die französische Meisterschaft gewann, kam er schließlich mit seiner neuen Mannschaft ins Finale des Europapokal der Landesmeister 1990/91, wo es zum Aufeinandertreffen von Olympique Marseille und seinen Ex-Klub Roter Stern kam. Das 100. Finale eines europäischen Fußballwettbewerbs konnte Roter Stern Belgrad im Stadio San Nicola in Bari für sich entscheiden. Stojković wurde im Finale, das die Franzosen im Elfmeterschießen mit 3:5 verloren, in der 112. Minute für Éric Di Meco eingewechselt. Obwohl Marseille-Trainer Franz Beckenbauer Stojković zuvor als einen der Schützen bestimmte, teilte Stojković ihm mit, dass er dies nicht verantworten könne, gegen sein Ex-Team einen Elfmeter zu schießen und bot sich erst als letzter Elfmeterschütze an.

Aufgrund chronischer Knieprobleme kam Stojković sporadisch zum Einsatz, so wechselte er daraufhin leihweise für ein Jahr zu Hellas Verona in die Serie A. Danach spielte er erneut bei Olympique Marseille, dieses Mal für zwei Jahre. Trotz Verletzungsanfälligkeit gewann Stojković dort eine weitere Meisterschaft und zudem die erstmals ausgetragenen Champions League 1992/93 unter Trainer Raymond Goethals durch einen 1:0-Erfolg über den AC Milan im Olympiastadion München.

In drei Jahren bei Marseille kam er auf nur 28 Einsätze, weil er oft verletzt war. 2010 wählten ihn die Fans von Olympique Marseille anlässlich des 110. Geburtstags des Vereins in die Jahrhundert-Elf ihrer Mannschaft. Mit 29 Jahren ging Stojković nach Japan.

Nagoya Grampus Eight
Im Sommer 1994 wechselte Stojković in die japanische J-League, in der er 1995 zum J. League Fußballer des Jahres gewählt wurde. Unter Arsène Wenger konnte Stojković den Pokal und Super Cup gewinnen. Nach sieben Jahren bei Nagoya beendete er seine Karriere mit 36 Jahren. In Japan kam Stojković auf 183 Einsätze und 57 Tore.

Nationalmannschaftskarriere
Für die jugoslawische Nationalmannschaft nahm Stojković an der EM 1984, der WM 1990, der WM 1998 und der EM 2000 teil.

Nationaltrainer Todor Veselinović nominierte Stojković in den Kader für die Fußball-Europameisterschaft 1984 in Frankreich. Er gab in dem Turnier sein Debüt, als er am 13. Juni in Lens beim Stand von 0:2 im Gruppenspiel gegen Belgien in der 68. Minute für Mehmed Baždarević eingewechselt wurde.

Bei der WM 1990 besiegte Jugoslawien im Achtelfinale Spanien mit 2:1 nach zwei Toren durch Stojković. Im Viertelfinale spielte man gegen Titelverteidiger Argentinien, dem man im Elfmeterschießen unterlag. Dragan Stojković und weitere Spieler verschossen ihren Elfmeter.

Während der WM 1998 spielte Jugoslawien mit Europameister Deutschland in der Gruppe F. Deutschland gelang es, eine 2:0-Führung durch ein Eigentor und einen Treffer von Oliver Bierhoff aufzuholen. Zuvor schoss Stojković die 2:0-Führung. Schließlich scheiterte seine Mannschaft im Achtelfinale an den Niederlanden.

Funktionärs- und Trainerkarriere
Stojković war von 2002 bis 2005 Präsident des Fußballverbandes von Serbien und Montenegro und vom Juli 2005 bis Oktober 2007 Präsident von Roter Stern Belgrad. 2008 übernahm er den Trainerposten beim japanischen Verein Nagoya Grampus Eight, mit dem er 2010 die Meisterschaft gewann und als japanischer Trainer des Jahres ausgezeichnet wurde. 2013 wurde er von dort entlassen.

Am 24. August 2015 wurde Stojković als Trainer des chinesischen Super-League-Vereins Guangzhou City FC vorgestellt. Nach über vier Spielzeiten im Verein – damit war er der am längsten amtierende Trainer von Guangzhou City FC – verließ Stojkovic den Verein im Januar 2020.
Am 3. März 2021, an seinem Geburtstag, wurde Stojković Trainer von Serbien. Unter seiner Führung qualifizierte sich die serbische Fußballnationalmannschaft für die FIFA-Fußballweltmeisterschaft 2022 und wurde in die Gruppe G mit Brasilien, Kamerun und der Schweiz gelost. Serbien belegte in der Gruppe den 4. Platz und schied aus.

The River Ophelia is an Australian novel by Justine Ettler first published by Picador in 1995. The story moves between first-person narrative to an unnamed observer. It was highly controversial in Australia upon its publication, with some prominent critics dismissing it as pornographic, though Ettler herself has strongly denied this.

Since its initial publication, critics and scholars have read deeper meaning into the novel's plot and style, with some determining it as a post-modernism novel about domestic violence, nihilism in urban environments and toxic relationships, with absurdist or surreal features. The book was shortlisted for the 1995 Aurealis Awards for Excellence in Australian Speculative Fiction - Horror Division - Best Novel.

The first edition cover published by Picador in 1995 features the tagline "an uncompromising love story" underneath the title, and while the novel does explore a no strings attached sexual relationship, Ettler has been adamant in stating that the novel was not about love (rather the misguided pursuit of it) nor was it intended to be erotic or romantic. A reprinting in 2018 features a new cover image, implying the darker nature of the novel.

Plot synopsis

The novel concerns the pursuits of the protagonist Justine, a university student in inner-city Sydney, and her relationship with the destructive, abusive narcissist Sade, a well-paid journalist for a trashy rock magazine. The violent, depraved sociopathic Sade regularly uses Justine for his own sexual exploits, and as she recognises this, goes on her own destructive pursuit for sexual fulfilment. Other characters, such as Hamlet, Ophelia, Simone and Marcelle appear later in the story. They regularly consume hard drugs, and are absorbed in a heavy capitalist culture with fluid, occasionally sexually violent open relationships. The only character who ostensibly seems to pursue love, or a healthy monogamous relationship, is Justine. Sade regularly taunts Justine in a sadistic fashion, and sometimes parades his other women around in front of her. The sex is often clinical and kinky, rather than romantic or passionate.

As a response she often lashes out and engages in her own sadistic behaviour in an attempt to mimic or seek revenge on the sordid behaviour of her adversaries because she cannot seem to overcome them. Acting against the grain, slowly giving up on the pursuit of healthy love in an urban environment that rejects healthy love, Justine despairs and delves into hard drug use before eventually seeking a more permanent solution to her woes and oppressions.

Publication and themes

Ettler's novel was published in 1995 by Picador. The cover features a naked woman, sprawled over a chair, with her head hanging between her knees. Ettler has been outspoken in her issue with this depiction: "To me the whole question of Justine's sexuality isn't the central issue. Her sexual behaviour is a symptom masking what's really going on at a deeper level, which is to do with power. If there is an issue in the novel to do with sex it's about sex addiction – which, incidentally, is on the rise due to the digital revolution, so The River Ophelia is more relevant than ever as more women are placed in the unhappy situation faced by Justine as the girlfriend of a sex addict. The whole nude cover thing irritated me from the start. It's misleading. I had no control over the cover". When the novel was re-published in 2018, it was given a new front cover that is more true to the violent, sexually depraved nature of the novel.

The novel makes overt references to Brett Easton Ellis's American Psycho (1991), a work of similar tone and parody about empty consumerist culture and the emotionally absent sex lives of yuppies in Manhattan, much as The River Ophelia is about wealthy Sydneysiders with empty, drug-addled lives that are "successful" only at a surface level. Some scholars have called The River Ophelia a feminist text.

Critical reception and legacy
The River Ophelia received a divisive response from Australian critics. It was reviewed in various prominent Australian newspapers, such as The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Australian. Some praised it for its sardonic and satirical approach to the morally impoverished lives of privileged young white university students and yuppies in Sydney's upper-class suburbs, while others dismissed it as being too obscene, violent and sexually explicit. Critic Don Anderson called the novel a "marriage between Helen Garner and the Marquis de Sade".

Some critics have identified the novel as an example of grunge lit, a series of unrelated but thematically equal Australian novels dealing with disenfranchised and alienated urban life.

Ettler relocated to London in 1997 to escape the fallout caused by the novel in Australia. She returned to Sydney in the 2000s, and in 2018 addressed The River Ophelia's impact: "I can finally set the record straight – The River Ophelia is a postmodern novel about domestic violence. I can also acknowledge the scholarship which has defended it". She used the #MeToo movement and increasing awareness of sadomasochism and sexual abuse in mainstream media as encouraging signs that attention towards sexual mistreatment is finally being recognised publicly.

Legacy
The novel was a best-seller in both Australia and New Zealand. The cover of the first edition was printed and stuck on poles in inner-city Sydney and Melbourne in 1995, while Ettler herself did numerous publicity, including morning talk shows and television as well as radio interviews. In the 1990s, The River Ophelia was added to the Higher School Certificate reading list in the Australian secondary education system.

Beneath the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas lies another city. A secret city in plain sight, full of warlocks and demons, shape-shifters and golems. A city that feeds off the chance magick that is generated by gamblers and which is ruled by mysterious beings called the Oddsmakers.
It is in this strange underbelly of the occult that Anne Moody runs a cursed pawn shop for the desperate, the curious, and the magickally inclined. Though the job is boring, it keeps her under the radar. None of her customers have any inkling that she is a dragon sorceress with a power that's been feared throughout history. However dragons are no help when a stone statue ends up in her shop that is more than it appears. The statue is a gargoyle named Vale, who is shrouded in mystery and secrets. When she learns that Vale is possessed, and that the person responsible for cursing him plans to take over Las Vegas with a horde of demons from Hell, Anne realizes it is up to her to defy the Oddsmakers and save the city, and possibly the world.
After silently parting the bead curtain I paused just at the threshold, listening. The shop was spooky enough without the lights on thanks to all the strange silhouettes, but knowing that half the objects were also cursed gave me another reason to shiver as I panned my gaze over the place.
I sent Lucky toward the sound. My dragon flew a loose circle around the left side of the room. That narrowed it down a bit, not that I felt comfortable putting my back to everything that was on the other side of the room. I displayed a few katanas and items that could be used as weapons there, but thankfully none of them were cursed with movement. At least, I hoped not. I guess I'd find out for certain when a spear pierced my back.
A fluttering sound, like the flapping of thick canvas, made me instinctively drop into a crouch. Lucky reared up, ready to attack. But nothing flew overhead. Breathing shallowly, I crawled toward the counter. I'd feel safer behind it and with the wall at my back.
As I rounded the counter, I realized I knew what had had made the noise. The only new thing in my inventory was the gargoyle statue. When I raised my eyes above the countertop, the gargoyle was gone from where it had sat. The cameos were quick to offer their opinions.
"You met the love of your life today…"
"…he'll try to kill you, Anne Moody."
"The cursed shall pay, Anne Moody!"
Yep, the damn gargoyle statue had come to life and was flying around Moonlight. Definitely a way to make me remember you, Christian.
Tricia Owens wants you to know that Las Vegas is actually a pretty cool place and you won't be eaten by a troll there. Probably. A former casino games dealer and cruise ship editor, Tricia has traveled extensively, visiting over 70 countries. She writes full time in several genres including urban fantasy and romance. Her favorite setting is her home town, the city of sin.
Tricia Owens will be awarding a $75 Amazon/BN GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour.

The impacts of climate change are experienced and seen everywhere, including Germany. The recent narratives on climate change urge all the parties – in other words, all of us – to "take more ambitious actions to close the global climate mitigation gap". This urge by the UN Climate Change Conference organizers closely relates to motivating action, a challenging task that goes hand in hand with climate change communication. A series of recent studies has demonstrated the effective use of visuals in communicating climate change, while also motivating action. In this course we will watch, reflect on and discuss images, video clips, films, public events and art work related to climate change. These visuals are more concerned with story-telling, rather than presenting charts and technical data. We will critically examine the recent studies on climate change, as well as the scientific findings on visual communication. Finally, you will engage in (co)creating a visual draft-project related to your interests and climate change. Sufficient command of English is important in order to actively participate in all activities. This is an interdisciplinary and interactive Seminar.

Q: Why did this NPC think Elizabeth was someone named Annabelle? Be careful, there are deep spoilers in the spoiler sections here.
There is a part in Battleship Bay, as you're heading through the turnstile to the ticket stand, at the moment:

Right before the section where you choose whether to pull your gun on the ticketer or not

where an NPC mistakes you for someone named "Annabelle".  Elizabeth also exclaims, "Well, that was odd".  Is there a meaning to this?  I've already finished the game, so I'm particularly wondering if:

This NPC has mistaken her for someone else in a different universe where she wasn't sold to Lutece.  I'm assuming the significance is that she is mistaking her for Anna, which would still be her name if she grew up as Booker's daughter.

Why did this lady mistake her for someone named Annabelle?

A: She is trying to get Elizabeth to identify herself, if you pay close attention to posters and stuff you will see that Lady Comstock's first name began with an A, she is probably Annabell.  Elizibeth looks like Lady Comstock, as a result of the resembalance it makee sense Annabelle would be the first name that came to her mind.

A:
Needless to say – SPOILERS AHEAD!

That NPC's name is Esther Mailer. She purposely asked Elizabeth if her name was "Annabelle", so Elizabeth would correct her and confirm Elizabeth's name and identity. She was tasked to track and stop the "False Prophet", Booker DeWitt from taking Elizabeth.
From her Voxophone log, "Take Her Alive":

This is the moment we trained for. The False Shepherd is here. The day was not exact, but...the Prophet's sight proves out again. The specimen must be taken alive. If she dies, I suspect they will give us to the bird. And whatever pieces it leaves behind will bear no names...That was cigarette number six. This waiting is insufferable.

A: warning spoiler
Bookers daughter is called Anna or Annabelle. Elizabeth is Anna, Bookers daughter. Comstock is an alternate booker where he Made Columbia but cannot have a child since he accidentally makes himself sterile so he steals bookers child Anna and calls her Elizabeth. Esther was probably trying to have her reveal herself as she was told " take her alive"

Lusius (in einigen Quellen, wohl versehentlich, Lucius; † 118) Quietus war ein römischer Feldherr unter Trajan und im Jahr 117 Statthalter von Judäa.

Quietus war nordafrikanischer Abstammung, angeblich aus königlichem Haus. Er führte bereits unter Domitian eine Reitertruppe seines Stammes in römischen Diensten, wurde aber, obwohl in den römischen Ritterstand erhoben, wegen eines Vergehens wieder entlassen. In den Dakerkriegen Trajans gelang es ihm aber, durch seine militärischen Fähigkeiten das Vertrauen dieses Kaisers zu gewinnen. Im Partherkrieg war er einer der wichtigsten Feldherrn Trajans. Als sich 116/117 die jüdischen Einwohner von Mesopotamien gegen die römische Besatzung erhoben, beauftragte Trajan Quietus mit der Unterdrückung des Diasporaaufstands.

Durch die gnadenlose Effizienz, mit der er diesen Auftrag ausführte, empfahl sich Quietus, der in den Senat aufgenommen wurde und im Jahr 116 oder 117 ein Suffektkonsulat bekleidete, für den Posten des Statthalters von Judäa. Die kleine, aber unruhige Provinz verlangte eine starke römische Militärpräsenz. Trajan hatte in seinen letzten Jahren außer der Legio X Fretensis auch die Legio III Cyrenaica nach Judäa verlegt. Der Statthalter war daher ein Legatus Augusti pro praetore im Rang eines gewesenen Konsuls.

Auch in Judäa scheint das Regime des Quietus von rücksichtsloser Brutalität geprägt gewesen zu sein, das lassen zumindest talmudische Quellen vermuten. Dass Quietus das Urbild des Holofernes im Buch Judit war, wie Heinrich Graetz im Anschluss an Gustav Volkmar vermutet, lässt sich jedoch nicht beweisen. Es scheint eine Erhebung in Judäa gegeben zu haben, die als "Krieg des Quietus" (polemos schel kitos) in die Überlieferung einging. Genauere Nachrichten aber fehlen. Jedenfalls ging der Tag seiner Abberufung am 12. Adar (Februar 118?) als Halbfeiertag in den jüdischen Festkalender ein ("Trajanstag", Jom Tirjanus).

Trajans Nachfolger Hadrian entließ Quietus kurz nach seinem Herrschaftsantritt und ließ ihn 118 zusammen mit drei weiteren Konsularen, die enge Vertraute Trajans gewesen waren, Aulus Cornelius Palma Frontonianus, Lucius Publilius Celsus und Avidius Nigrinus, von seinem einstigen Vormund und engen Vertrauten, dem Prätorianerpräfekten Publius Acilius Attianus, wegen Verrats ermorden.

Satellite Party – Ultra Payloaded Review
Feb 15, 2008 | 0 comments
Ultra Payloaded is Perry Farrell's (Jane's Addiction, Porno for Pyros) latest concept album. The project features virtuoso guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, whose efforts had a significant impact on the project. The subject matter of the album can take time to process, but the music is more accessible, at times evoking the atmospheric qualities of U2 ("Wish Upon A Dog Star"), and other times recalling Earth, Wind & Fire ("Only Love, Let's Celebrate").
The album begins on a high note with the high-energy "Wish Upon A Dog Star". This energy carries into the funky "Only Love, Let's Celebrate" and the laid-back groove of "Hard Life Easy" but takes that energy into a different direction with the harder-edged "Kinky". This is where the album starts to take on a new character, sounding more exotic and atmospheric. There are still traces of groove ("Mr. Sunshine") and Rock ("Insanity Rains") that dominate the early part of the album, but nothing that matches the initial energy created by the opening tracks. Songs like "The Solutionists" and "Mr. Sunshine" may have their moments, but are merely momentum killers. This isn't to say that there aren't a few gems left on the disc. The simple and soothing Pop melodies of "Awesome" and the equally hypnotic and ambient "Milky Ave" are both sonically satisfying. The title track is also worth a listen, but is perhaps one of the oddest tracks on the disc, combining elements of Eastern, Spanish, and Prog-Rock.
The overall production of the album is squeaky-clean. The rough edges have all been smoothed out and the quality is top-notch. Farrell's programming adds a lot to the sound of the disc and doesn't seem out of place. His voice doesn't seem to have enough guts to carry some of the tunes, but his creativity makes up for these shortfalls. Bettencourt's guitar work is texturally diverse and fun to listen to.
Concept: 8/10
According to most sources the concept of the album is linked to global warming (the same information can be extracted from reading through the text on the packaging). While this may not seem immediately apparent from listening to the CD, that's often the nature of concept albums. Nevertheless, the songs can be appreciated on their own merit, and on that basis the album deserves high marks.
Creativity: 8/10
It sounds like everything basically came together on this album. The songs are diverse, the arrangements are relatively fresh, and even with all the collaborators the album seems to work as a cohesive whole.
Instrumentation: 8/10
There are many layers to each track, so the album stands up to many listens. Bettencourt explored many tonal possibilities on the guitar, so the sounds are varied and interesting to listen to.
Sound & Music: 7/10
The sound is well-produced, and the music is fun to listen to. Unfortunately some of the songs seem a little uninspired and parts of the album seem to drag a little. It's energetic at its best, and dull at its worst.
Writing & Premise: 7/10
The writing seems to be fairly direct for a concept album. Some lyrics are a bit cheesy but they seem to work for the songs and are easily relatable. It's easy to find a point of reference with each song even if the overall message doesn't seem entirely clear.
Overall: 38/50
This album is a treat for those who have followed Farrell and Bettencourt's careers, and are interested in hearing them in a slightly different context. All in all it can be a lot of fun to listen to, but some moments definitely stand out more than others.

Celebrity Masterchef fans were surprised to see a country music legend on the show.
The Masterchef heats continued on Thursday night with the likes of Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfro, Strictly dancer AJ Pritchard and actor Lisa Maxwell.
And they were joined by none other than country singer Stella Parton.
She wasted no time in showing off her beautiful voice, serenading judge Gregg Wallace in the kitchen during the first heat.
If you couldn't tell from the surname, Stella is indeed the sister of music icon Dolly Parton.
The 69-year-old is three years younger than the Jolene singer.
She has a string of top 40 hits to her name in the US, including The Danger Of A Stranger and I Want To Hold You In My Dreams Tonight.
Speaking about growing up with Dolly, she has said in the past that they often fell out because they were so close in age.
Stella said: 'I was so close in age to her, I always wanted to do what she was doing and I was just young enough for her to think that she knew more than me, so I always made sure that she lived hard for it.
'She made my life miserable too, but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot.
'I think we're a lot alike. Not because we want to be.
'We shared a bedroom together and she was messy and I was neat. And we would write songs together and she always wrote the good lines and would laugh at my bad ones.
'But it was not that bad, except the main thing I didn't like was that she loved to tell dirty jokes.
'They used to sit at the back of the school bus and she'd always make me sit in front because I was too young to hear the jokes they were telling at the back and that would always drive me crazy.
Stella has written three cookbooks, including Really Cookin' with Stella Parton, State Fairs and Church Bazaars and Stella Parton's Country Cookin'.
As well as music she has also acted in films alongside Dolly – Dolly Parton's Coat of Many Colours in 2015 and the 2016 follow up Dolly Parton's Christmas of Many Colours: Circle of Love.

WVU engineering students attend Grand Challenges Summit
Andy Maloney, Emily Phipps and Katie O'Connell pose together holding the West Virginia University flag on top of the Great Wall of China
MORGANTOWN W.Va.
Two days at the Global Grand Challenges Summit in Beijing, China, changed the lives of West Virginia University seniors Andy Maloney, Katie O'Connell and Emily Phipps.
Sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the U.S. National Academy of Engineering and the Royal Academy of Engineering, the invitation-only event brought together a diverse mix of thought leaders and students who discussed opportunities believed to be achievable and sustainable to help people and the planet survive. The summit focused on the themes found in the NAE Grand Challenges report - sustainability, infrastructure, energy, health and joy of living - along with education and security/resilience.
The trio of students from the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources were selected to attend the summit based on their outstanding academic and extracurricular achievements.
For Maloney, a chemical engineering major from Morgantown, the experience demonstrated how valuable his WVU education is.
"While at the Summit, I felt fully capable of understanding and discussing many of the challenges and ideas mentioned," said Maloney. "I learned a great deal about topics outside my discipline as well that gave me a more well-rounded perspective on the problems we face."
Maloney shared his experience with his classmates, but realized many of the themes discussed at the Summit were already in the minds of WVU students.
"Upon my return to WVU, I discussed much of the information that was new and interesting to me with my classmates. When I learned they were already aware of many of the topics, it validated my thought that WVU is an institution that prepares its students to be competitive in multiple disciplines on a global scale."
Being in the presence of so many prestigious engineers and scientists had a lasting mark on O'Connell.
"Seeing accomplished and renowned scientists and engineers share a common passion to bring together science, public policy and life value for the betterment of human kind sparked my own passion to do the same," said O'Connell, a mechanical engineering major from Wellsburg. "Attendees brought their ideas, charisma and wonder, and left with a new perspective and insight on how science and engineering can change the future of our world. I left with a sense of hope and motivation for my future career as an engineer."
As an industrial engineering major with an eye on a career in the health industry, Phipps was most struck by the session on health in the age of informatics.
"Hearing from an expert in this niche that I want to work in was the most impactful experience," said Phipps, from Cornelius, North Carolina. "Attending this Summit was really motivating, in that it reaffirmed how many issues there are in the healthcare industry and how as engineers we have the ability to correct these problems, which can save millions of lives."
Phipps hopes to help other WVU students participate in future Global Grand Challenges experiences by initiating the Grand Global Challenges Scholars Program.
"The Scholars Program, sponsored by NAE, gives participants the opportunity to do hands-on projects, service learning and research on a global scale. It would allow the University to expand its presence in the engineering community and help WVU students become the best problem-solvers of our time."
While they will all change the world in different ways, Maloney, O'Connell and Phipps left the summit with a sense of urgency to do just that.
"A key point of the Summit was appreciating the trust the public gives engineers to develop innovations in technology and research that can change the world," said O'Connell. "With this great power comes great responsibility and we left ready to use that power to contribute to the greater good of society."

The Drive-In Theater: The Revenant
The Drive-In Theater returns for its second week, taking a look at The Revenant.
By Will Schube January 29, 2016
Will Schube was the first choice to play Reggie and Ronnie Kray in Legend before he let Tom Hardy give it a shot.
Can the process be more important than the result? Is there a work of art of which its creation overshadows the final thing? If there's ever a movie to approach this question, it's Alejandro Iñárritu's latest feature, The Revenant (2015). The rumors started circulating during filming. People talked of exotic locations—split between the Canadian Rockies and the mountains of Argentina; the exclusive use of natural light; a limited use of CGI (which, when considering some of the scenes is staggering); and an insistence on shooting the scenes narratively.
This isn't only bold, it's also stupid considering the various locales the production utilized and the grueling nature of the shoot. Iñárritu's process sounds less like filmmaking than it does boot camp. But holy shit does it pay off. The Revenant may not be the most entertaining movie of the year, but it's certainly the most impressive and important (in terms of filmmaking, certainly not socially), and possibly one of the best films of the decade.
I'd happily choose an audacious trainwreck over a safe 90 minute flick. Of course, most of the deliriously bold films I love are also tremendous pieces of art, but the groundbreaking should never be confused with attempts at perfectionism. Some of my favorites of these are wild films—Magnolia (1999), The Tree of Life (2011), Chafed Elbows (1966), which plays with more of a formal experimentation than temporal or narrative innovation; and Heaven's Gate (1980). I love them precisely because of the mess they create. The whole journey vs. destination cliché is stupid, but these are all films about the cathartic process elicited from the emotions stories can convey.
I'm not going to call Magnolia a perfect film when it's climactic moment centers around frogs falling from the sky (ed. note: this makes plenty of sense in LA so whatever), but what makes it wonderful is what that scene conjures — the observation from boy genius Stanley Spector (Jeremy Blackman): "This is something that happens." That line arrived from a thought Paul Thomas Anderson had while his father was dying. He found the rapid decay of his dad less believable than if someone had told him frogs were falling from the sky. In short, death is so weird. Suddenly, the film is a coping mechanism. And that's what great art has the power to do: Transcend the limits it sets for itself. All of this being a roundabout way of saying that The Revenant isn't great because of its intended scope, but because these limits disappear over the film's almost three hour duration.
If you come to The Revenant looking for three hours of DiCaprio kicking ass, you're in the wrong theater. And I can't stress enough the necessity of seeing this film in theaters versus on a shrunken screen. While The Hateful Eight attempts to steer a conversation on the importance of film and theaters and the viewing experience through its technical applications, The Revenant lets the work speak for itself. This stuff just looks better the bigger it is. DiCaprio is fine in the film—good, even—but he's not much more than grunts and vengeful eyes. His role is the narrative itself, but the plot unveils itself within the film's first 30 minutes, so the last two and a half hours have to depend on something else. That something else is John Fitzgerald, played by Tom Hardy. It's not necessarily fair to say that Hardy acts circles around DiCaprio, because Hardy's given so much more to work with, but he manages to turn a tale of the human will into his personal theater of evil and villainy.
Part of what makes Tom Hardy so fantastic is his ability to convey a personal history without actually expressing it. This trait is at the root of every character actor, but Hardy takes it to another level. In Locke (2014), he elicits sympathy as a father and husband heading to London to help a woman he had an affair with give birth. The film's entirety exists in Ivan Locke's car, yet there's not a second of boredom or meandering. Hardy carries a lifetime of choice in his voice. In Bronson (2008), he loses himself in character. He dismisses the method of method acting and simply becomes somebody else. It's a legendary role, the sort of thing that defines a career if people weren't too busy yelling about Bane and Mad Fucking Max.
This is Hardy's film to steal and steal it he does. He looks vulgar and grotesque, and that's before we hear him speak. I think it sells him short to simply say that Hardy disappears as Fitzgerald emerges, but from the moment we first see him, he occupies the entirety of the film's massive vision.
And the scope wouldn't seem nearly so large if Emmanuel Lubezki wasn't behind the camera. The dude is just over 50 years of age, and I'd already make an argument for him as one of the most innovative cinematographers in film history. He's Terrence Malick's go to guy, same with Alfonso Cuarón. He's redefined cinematography multiple times, from his work on The Tree of Life and Gravity (2013) to last year's Best Picture winner Birdman (2014). Lubezki is the sort of cinematographer directors go to when they're working with scripts that don't quite cohere as fully-formed stories. Films in which visuals and story are on the same plane, if not the former superseding the latter. Lubezki's filmography is littered with treasures, but The Revenant boasts a double-digit list of shots each of which could I'd be happy to argue for as the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
The Revenant createes far more conversation and examination about process than it does the film itself, which is okay because thinking and talking and writing about film is fun. But if theoretical examination about process, art, creation, and ultimately, history is as important as the film itself, can the work truly be canonical? Who gives a shit! I've gone 1,000 words without mentioning the infamous bear attack that seems to be the only thing people are talking about. There's so much loaded into this movie, so much stuff constantly unfurling and doubling over itself that each viewer is able to latch onto and discover a different minutia and argue for its irrevocable importance.
It's all important, including its savage portrayal of Native Americans; its lack of female characters for anything other than plot movers and dream sequences; and its reliance on gruesome, blood-spilling violence. That's sort of what you always get with Iñárritu: A lot of truly spectacular, breathtaking stuff, a few things that make you grimace, and more often than not a mess so hot you can't help but love the man brave enough to stand behind it and defiantly champion its importance. This movie is amazing and I'm still jittery thinking and writing about it two weeks later. That should be the goal of every filmmaker, not just the great ones.
Rating: See this movie and then probably step away from it for five years. Unless you're braver than I, in which case, watch it a lot.

Q: How Jackson handles mapping conflict? I have the following class with a property "key" that maps to 2 different JSON fields
public class A {

    @JsonAlias("Key")
    private String key;

    @JsonProperty("NewKey")
    private void unpackNewKey(Map<String, String> NewKey) {
        key = NewKey.get("value");
    }
}

Here is the JSON to deserialize.
{
    "NewKey": {
        "value": "newkey",
    },
    "Key": "key"
}

If I deserialize the above json to A.class
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
A a = mapper.readValue(json, A.class)

What would be the value of the a.key? will it be newkey or key? Trying to understand how jackson handles conflict. Can I specify the order? for example, if I want the key to always map to NewKey if both Key and NewKey exist in the json, what should I do?

A: In your example, where you use @JsonAlias("Key") and @JsonProperty("NewKey") order depends from an order of key-value pairs in JSON payload. If you want to always deserialise with NewKey key precedence, you need to implement this in custom JSON Deserialiser or in constructor. Simple example you can find below:
import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonCreator;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;

import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Objects;

public class JsonApp {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
        System.out.println(mapper.readValue("{}", A.class));
        System.out.println(mapper.readValue("{\"Key\": \"key\"}", A.class));
        System.out.println(mapper.readValue("{\"NewKey\": {\"value\": \"newkey\"}}", A.class));
        System.out.println(mapper.readValue("{\"Key\": \"key\", \"NewKey\": {\"value\": \"newkey\"}}", A.class));
        System.out.println(mapper.readValue("{\"NewKey\": {\"value\": \"newkey\"}, \"Key\": \"key\"}", A.class));
    }
}

class A {

    private String key;

    @JsonCreator
    public A(Map<String, Object> json) {
        final String key = Objects.toString(json.get("Key"), null);
        final Map newKey = (Map) json.getOrDefault("NewKey", Collections.emptyMap());
        this.key = Objects.toString(newKey.get("value"), key);
    }

    public String getKey() {
        return key;
    }

    public void setKey(String key) {
        this.key = key;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return key;
    }
}

Above code prints:
null
key
newkey
newkey
newkey

ffect their performance at school and their relationships with friends and family. Studies have shown that approximately one in five teenagers has a diagnosable mental health disorder, including mood disorders.
"While moodiness in teenagers is common, prolonged periods of sadness lasting for two weeks or more might signal a more serious problem that parents shouldn't ignore," says Marissa Leslie, MD, medical director of outpatient services at Adventist HealthCare Behavioral Health & Wellness Services in Rockville.
The most noticeable sign of depression in teenagers is withdrawal from social activities. "Teenagers who once looked forward to activities such as soccer, basketball or ballet may no longer show an interest and spend more time isolated from family," Dr. Leslie says.
Other signs of a mood disorder include lethargy, changes in appetite or sleep habits, feelings of hopelessness and suicidal thoughts.
Parents who notice these warning signs should seek help from a licensed behavioral health professional. Early diagnosis and treatment using psycho therapy or medication can help teen agers with mood disorders lead healthier, more productive lives.

In Vertebrate Paleontology
Yesterday marked the start of the third Subject College module, Vertebrate Paleontology, taught by Dr. Doug Boyer of Duke College. In this episode, David experiences back on his expertise at one of many year's most enjoyable occasions (for us, anyway): the annual assembly of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. Within the nineteenth century, women and men who studied both rocks and animals were beginning to comprehend that the Earth was a lot older than anyone imagined, and that all animals with bones – even humans – had rather a lot in widespread.
Please be aware that I've not included journals that only very rarely publish vertebrate paleontology papers (reminiscent of American Naturalist and plenty of medical journals). Late Eocene, early and late Oligocene, late Miocene, Miocene or Pliocene, ? The Society keeps its members informed on the newest discoveries by means of newsletters and the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
Specimens in the Museum's assortment are available to qualified people for research and academic use by appointment. Lectures and projects make the most of vertebrate fossils in the Beneski Museum of Pure Historical past. Vertebrate paleontologists do a lot more than dig up bones, as well; they research how ancient animals moved and lived, what they ate – and what ate them.
Earlham School, an independent, residential college, aspires to offer the highest-high quality undergraduate training in the liberal arts, including the sciences, shaped by the distinctive perspectives of the Religious Society of Pals (Quakers). The university assortment includes specimens amassed by the Dry Dredgers Affiliation of Novice Geologists & Fossil Collectors, the oldest newbie paleontology society in the United States, founded in 1942.
Find information about new publications straight from their publishers or out-of-print publications , together with monographs and, generally, reprints. College students who full the vertebrate palaeontology main will likely be aggressive for jobs involving fieldwork and museum studies, as well as ecological / environmental research and instructing.

Solar photovoltaics demand for the global energy transition in the power sector

BA3601 Renewable Energy Processes
The power sector is faced with strict requirements in reducing harmful emissions and substantially increasing the level of sustainability. Renewable energy (RE) in general and solar photovoltaic (PV) in particular can offer societally beneficial solutions. The LUT energy system transition model is used to simulate a cost-optimised transition pathway towards 100% RE in the power sector by 2050. The model is based on hourly resolution for an entire year, the world structured in 145 regions, high spatial resolution of the input RE resource data, and transition steps of 5-year periods. The global average solar PV electricity generation contribution is found to be about 69% in 2050, the highest ever reported. Detailed energy transition results are presented for representative countries in the world, namely, Poland, Britain and Ireland, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Ethiopia, and Indonesia. The global average energy system levelised cost of electricity gradually declines from 70 €/MWh in 2015 to 52 €/MWh in 2050 throughout the transition period, while deep decarbonisation of more than 95% around 2040, referenced to 2015, would be possible. The targets of the Paris Agreement can be well achieved in the power sector, while increasing societal welfare, given strong policy leadership.

"Oklahoma is a state in the South Central region of the United States, bordered by Kansas on the north, Missouri on the northeast, Arkansas on the east, Texas on the south, New Mexico on the west, and Colorado on the northwest. It is the 20th-most extensive and the 28th-most populous of the fifty United States. The state's name is derived from the Choctaw words okla and humma, meaning "red people". It is also known informally by its nickname, "The Sooner State", in reference to the non-Native settlers who staked their claims on land before the official opening date of lands in the western Oklahoma Territory or before the Indian Appropriations Act of 1889, which dramatically increased European-American settlement in the eastern Indian Territory. Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory were merged into the State of Oklahoma when it became the 46th state to enter the union on November 16, 1907. Its residents are known as Oklahomans (or colloquially, "Okies"), and its capital and largest city is Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma is on a confluence of three major American cultural regions and historically served as a route for cattle drives, a destination for Southern settlers, and a government-sanctioned territory for Native Americans."

On a recent Sunday, I was invited to preach at a neighboring Episcopalian church. This church is unusual in that its members are a mixture of English and Spanish speakers. The vast majority of the Spanish speakers are undocumented immigrants and their children. My congregation has been working with this church community to support and, if the need arises, protect our undocumented neighbors.
The first step was clear: we needed to meet them! Our lives travel in parallel lanes, and opportunities to make friends do not naturally arise. So, many members of my synagogue attended the church service, my words were simultaneously translated into Spanish, and following the service we all enjoyed a truly festive pot luck. It was an inter-ethnic feast, with everything from kugel and tzimmes to enchiladas and tamales. Following the meal, a group of the Oaxacan members performed some of their traditional dances, and I led a song. We achieved our initial goal, which was to meet one another. We will move forward from here.
I draw much inspiration and direction from this week's Torah portion, Kedoshim. Kedoshim contains the most famous and important commandment in the Torah: "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Lev. 19:18) Rabbi Akiva famously calls this commandment "klal hagadol batorah" – "the central principal of the Torah." It is the proverbial Golden Rule that we find in all great moral and spiritual traditions around the world.
When we hear "Love your neighbor as yourself" we generally think of "neighbor" as referring to the entire human family. The Torah, however, clearly considers two separate categories of people – neighbors and strangers – both of whom we need to treat with thoughtful care. I find the Torah's classifications to reflect a much more nuanced and accurate representation of human nature than any contemporary platitude about how we just need to love everyone. For, in fact, we do not automatically treat a stranger the way we treat our neighbor. There is a moral calculus in treating one's neighbor well: you want your neighbor to treat you well, too. This is a basic social contract among people sharing life in a community. It is in everyone's self-interest to behave well towards each other. Also, to put it bluntly, everyone prefers to hang out with their friends! The stranger is by definition someone in whom we have no investment. There is no incentive of self-interest to make us want to turn to the stranger, get to know them, or assist them.
This is very hard to do. The Torah repeats these instructions in various forms more than three dozen times, more than any other commandment. My theory is that the rules that get repeated the most are the ones that people are having trouble following! But the Torah insists that all human beings are made in the Divine image. We are all fundamentally deserving of being treated with dignity, care and respect, including the foreigner, the stranger, the immigrant, and the refugee. The Torah commands us repeatedly to grow to this level of awareness.
The genius of Judaism is that the very story we tell about ourselves and our origins as strangers in a strange land is meant to awaken us to the plight of the stranger we encounter in our own land. The Jewish story, if taken to heart, is an exercise in empathy, a humanizing practice. This is why I feel compelled to reach out to the strangers in our midst. And in the process, I turn strangers into neighbors, and perhaps even friends.

Boys' soccer: Edward Little's set pieces solid in win over Brunswick
By Bob Conn, Times Record
AUBURN — The momentum had turned to the visiting Brunswick Dragons after Noah Greene buried a shot into the lower left-hand corner of the Edward Little net to tie the Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference boys' soccer game at 1-1 on Tuesday.
As the time ticked away in the first half, the teams appeared headed to the intermission still deadlocked. That is until Red Eddie Oliver Hall placed a corner kick in front of the Brunswick goal, leading to a Wol Maiwen header with six seconds left, giving EL the lead for good en route to 5-1 victory.
In their two wins, the Red Eddies (2-0) have tallied eight goals, led by the 6-foot-4 Maiwen's three, including a second goal Tuesday via a throw-in by Jake Jackson 5:48 into the second frame that staked the hosts to a 3-1 lead.
Hall, who assisted on a second corner-kick goal by Joshua Lavigne with 12:52 remaining in the game, felt his team's set pieces were important.
"They are not only important for scoring opportunities, but they give us a chance to regroup," Hall said. "When you're working really hard, it gives us a chance to set everything up. Plus we have someone who is 6-foot-4 that can head things in. That is helpful."
"We understand that we won't get a lot of scoring opportunities, so when we get corner kicks or throw-ins we are doing are best to take advantage of that, winning balls in the air and pushing everybody up," said EL coach Tim Mains, whose Red Eddies visit 1-1 Mt. Ararat on Friday at 3:30 p.m.
Brunswick coach Mark Roma agreed that the Dragons struggled at key points of the contest, with three set-piece goals costing Brunswick.
"We certainly made it look like it was Mount Everest, and we just weren't good enough on offense, didn't defend well enough, and in all three facets of the game we were not good enough," said Roma, whose Dragons visit Lewiston on Friday at 7 p.m. "I thought the way we came back against Mt. Blue, being down 2-0, would give us momentum. Today, we dug ourselves too far down, and we are not good enough to come back from that."
EL jumped out to a 1-0 lead as Hassan Jibril chipped a long pass to Christian Beliveau, who tipped a shot past Brunswick starting goaltender Liam Hemberger (three saves).
Over the next 15 minutes, Brunswick pushed the Red Eddies defense, as Everett Horch, Nolan Lyne, Lane Foushee, Josh Musica and Greene earned good looks at EL netminder Mack Sampson's goal.
Greene found the equalizer for the Dragons with 5:36 left until halftime. Brunswick forced Sampson to make five saves in the opening 40 minutes.
But, a throw-in by Jackson led to EL's first corner kick as the time ticked down, and Hall's service found the head of Maiwen for a 2-1 lead.
"It was the set piece stuff, something that we should have been able to absorb," Roma said. "There were stretches where we had a good grip on the game. We will have to see where it got away from us."
Maiwen's second goal made for a two-goal contest, and EL added two more tallies down the stretch, including a perfectly placed blast by Chase Martin with 5:31 remaining.
"We responded after they scored, and that was encouraging, especially for a young team with just four starters returning," Mains said. "You're not sure how they will respond, and we tucked one in there and scored another one early in the second. It was big."
Sampson was solid in the cage, turning away eight Brunswick shots. The Red Eddies finished with an 8-4 edge in corner kicks, and both teams registered nine shots on goal.

Eco-Schools USA has teamed up with the PA Green & Healthy Schools Partnership (PAGHSP) to recognize and assist schools in Pennsylvania who aspire to begin, or are currently, making strides in sustainability. The goal is to acknowledge all those schools in Pennsylvania who are currently implementing green initiatives, no matter how big or small those steps may be, as well as to provide assistance to schools who need guidance along their path toward sustainability.
We believe that, by assuring our children are sustainability literate and providing their education in a building that is healthy and reduces environmental impacts, we are assuring that our future generation will grow to become successful and caring stewards of our natural resources. By designing, constructing, and operating our school buildings with the environment and health in mind, andeducating our students about those features, we are making a bold statement to our youth that we care about where they learn, as well as our planet.
The PA Green & Healthy Schools Partnership is a collaboration of government agencies, nonprofits, K-12 schools, higher education institutions, and individuals who are committed to promoting healthy schools within the Commonwealth that have minimal impacts on the environment and promote environmental literacy of all students by utilizing curriculum that makes the vital sustainability connections in the classroom.

What's Happening at Pennsylvania Eco-Schools?
Photos above are from Northwest PA Collegiate Academy in Erie. Upper left students are installing a bee pole in their school garden and pruning an Espalier pear tree. A master gardener taught this student how to care for the pear tree, and after she tended to it during the summer and fall, it produced 8-10 pears.
These students from Spectrum Charter School are proudly displaying the small amount of trash they generated in their classroom during an eco-awareness competition, for which they were required to collect their refuse over the course of one week. They successfully brainstormed on ways to minimize their footprint via composting, reducing, reusing, and recycling.
In 2015, Spectrum Charter School will be hosting their third annual Community Computer Recycling Event, where area residents can bring their electronics for proper recycling.

Two important female deities of the Hittite Pantheon are related to the Storm God of Zippalanda: the Sun Goddess of the Earth, surely worshipped in the same city, and the Hattian Kataḫḫa "The Queen", whose cult flourished in the nearby town Ankuwa. Beyond that, in the Late Hittite period all the local Storm Gods were openly adopted by the main couple of the pantheon, the Sun Goddess of Arinna and the Storm God of Ḫatti, as clearly represented in the prayer of Puduḫepa to the Sun Goddess of Arinna. Possible ties and relations among these female deities and the Storm God of Zippalanda, and the ways of their cults in the cities of Ankuwa and Zippalanda are analyzed here.
