The Flamboyant Friar Who 'Discovered' the Falls
FACT...
One of the Upper Mississippi River's first explorers was a man who devoted his life to God, ministered to Native Americans and French voyageurs, and, oddly enough, brashly promoted himself and embellished his adventures of an exploratory expedition of the river valley. Father Louis Hennepin, credited as one of the first Europeans to see the Mississippi in present day Minnesota, made an epic canoe journey in the spring of 1680. His legendary trip took him and two others from the confluence of the Illinois and Mississippi rivers to Lake Pepin, where he was captured by a Dakota war party and forced to travel with them to their village near Lake Mille Lacs in northern Minnesota. He later wrote a book of the journey, which brought him a degree of fame and then shame when some of his exaggerations were exposed.
Hennepin was born in 1640 in Ath, Belgium, and heard the call of God early in his life. He entered the monastery in Béthune, France, as a young adult and in 1666 was ordained a Recollect friar. Recollects, commonly called Franciscans, are best known for taking a vow of poverty, and for their missionary efforts in North America, particularly among French Canadian voyageurs and Native Americans.
Hennepin's early ministry took him across Europe – Italy, Germany, Holland and France – and his travels served to either satiate or intensify his wanderlust. While living on the Atlantic coast in France, he became consumed with listening to the stories of ship captains returning from long voyages. He is quoted as saying, "I would have spent entire days and nights without sleeping, listening to them, because I always learned something new." He was also a chaplain in Belgium during the Franco-Dutch War, which led to a fortuitous meeting with Daniel Greysolon, Sieur du Lhut (anglicized as Duluth) at a battle on August 11, 1674. Four years later Duluth would rescue Hennepin from his Dakota captors.
Stories of the sea and far-off lands likely sparked Hennepin's zeal for adventure, prompting him to volunteer for service in North America. He traveled across the Atlantic and arrived in Quebec, Canada, in 1675. There he spent three years in the eastern St. Lawrence River Valley ministering to colonists, voyageurs and American Indian tribes. The tall tales of fur trade voyageurs undoubtedly whetted his appetite for more adventure. Voyageurs were rough and rowdy men who spent long hours canoeing rivers, running rapids and often carrying at least two 90-pound packs over grueling portages. When Hennepin learned in 1678 that René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle (commonly known as La Salle) was leading a party to explore the Upper Mississippi, he surely lobbied for a spot and was no doubt thrilled to be chosen.
In 1680, the expedition traveled by water through the Great Lakes region to the Illinois River, and eventually to the confluence of the Mississippi, where La Salle instructed Michel Accault, Antoine Auguel dit Le Picard du Gay and Hennepin to travel north to explore the northern portion of the river. From Hennepin's book "Description of Lousiana By Canoe to the Upper Mississippi River in 1680" we learn that he was living out the adventure of his dreams. He wrote: "With much pleasure and without much hindrance we had been examining the Colbert [Mississippi] River to find whether it was navigable in its upper and lower reaches."
They began paddling in early March and reached Lake Pepin on April 11. Then things got dicey. At 2 p.m., they saw 33 canoes "descending the river with great speed." In them were 120 Dakota warriors bent on attacking neighboring tribes of Miami, Illinois and Tamaroa. The Indians began shooting arrows toward them and soon surrounded the quivering trio. One in
Hennepin's party reached into his pack and retrieved a ceremonial peace pipe and thrust it high into the air to show they came in peace but a young warrior grabbed it and others dragged their canoe to shore, where they planned to bludgeon them to death with clubs. The explorers offered tobacco for smoking in the peace pipe but the Indians refused it and held a council to decide what to do with the men.
Hennepin and the others quickly offered up other gifts, including food, more tobacco, six hatchets and 15 knives. Then Hennepin allegedly did something that spared their lives. "Bowing my head, I showed them
they could kill us with a hatchet if they wished," he recalled in his book.
While that act appeased the chiefs, the men still feared that their lives hung in the balance. That night Hennepin listened to his mates make a plan to fight for their freedom. Surprisingly, the captives still had their guns and swords. Hennepin, on the other hand, was willing to peacefully accept his fate. "I had set out to preach to the Indians of a God who had been falsely accused, unjustly condemned, and cruelly crucified, yet held no resentment against those who brought him to his death," he wrote.
The chiefs decided to let the men live but forced them to travel with them to their village near Mille Lacs. They remained captive until Duluth, who was on his own expedition, showed up and successfully negotiated their release on July 25.
Hennepin returned to France in the fall of 1681 and quickly penned and published his adventures. Notable were his descriptions of Native American customs – not often complementary – and his "discovery" of the only waterfall on the Mississippi River. The Dakota were already familiar with the cataract and had a variety of names for it: Owahmenah (falling water), Ha-Ha Tank (big waterfall), Minirara (curling water) and O-Wa-Mni (whirlpool).
Hennepin boasted that the falls were 40-50 feet high, but they were likely half that, according to observations of other early explorers. Nonetheless, he gave them the name we know them by today: the Falls of St. Anthony, named in honor of his patron saint, St. Anthony of Padua.
Sadly, the falls no longer possess their magnificent splendor. They were dramatically altered by the timber and flour mills of the late 1800s and early 1900s, and the lock and dam in downtown Minneapolis that now bears their name.
FICTION...
Captured on the River
Michel Accault barked instructions to his canoe mates to stay calm but his words fell on deaf ears. He could see the intense fear in their eyes, and he felt it too when he noticed the throngs of sharp-tipped arrows darting overhead. Bobbing on the choppy current of a frigid river buffeted by a blustery April wind, they watched breathlessly as a flotilla of a hundred warring Indians closed in on them and surrounded their vessel. Amidst frightening whoops and howls, and piercing looks from scornful eyes intent on shedding blood, Accault slowly reached into his pack and grabbed a peace pipe. Holding it with white knuckles, he thrust it high to show the warriors they were traveling peacefully. It was a fruitless gesture. One Indian quickly grabbed the pipe while others took hold of their canoe and dragged them to shore. Some already on land had clubs in hand, ready to strike the invaders with death-bludgeoning blows.
"Give them some tobacco!" Accault screamed to his right-hand man, Antoine Auguel dit Le Picard du Gay. He quickly rummaged through his sack and produced a bundle of dark, aromatic leaves. This piqued the curiosity of two chiefs, who stepped forward, took the tobacco and waved off the young, angry warriors who were intent on killing their captives. As the chiefs discussed what to do, the explorers produced additional gifts – food, more tobacco, knives and hatchets – and laid it before the Indians, hoping the offerings would appease them. The Indians quickly gathered the items and watched in amazement at what happened next. Father Louis Hennepin, the Recollect friar accompanying the explorers, stepped forward, slowly removed the pointed hood of his robe and bowed his half-bald head before the nearest Indian who was holding a hatchet, indicating that he could kill him immediately if he wished. The act made a great impression on the tribal leaders and they agreed to spare the men's lives.
That night the captives were restless and fitful, not fully convinced they were free from danger. They huddled together around a small fire and whispered softly as they discussed their fate.
"Do you think they'll kill us tomorrow?" asked Picard du Gay, directing his question to Accault, their leader.
"I'm not sure," he said. A steely look of defiance could be seen on his face in the glow of the soft firelight. "But if they try, they're in for a fight."
"But the odds are too great. We don't have a chance. It's three against more than one hundred." They looked at Hennepin, who was slowly shaking his head no.
"I won't fight," he said, gazing into the fire rather than at his companions. Then he looked at each and gave his reasoning. "I came to preach to the Indians, not kill them. They need to hear about God and the love and grace he has for all of mankind."
Those weren't words the others wanted to hear but each expected as much. Picard du Gay turned his attention to Accault and awaited his response.
"Okay," he finally said. "But I'm still not going to go without a fight."
"Hopefully, it won't come to that," said Hennepin in a soothing, reassuring tone. "I believe if they were going to kill us they would have done it by now."
Knowing it was futile to discuss their situation any longer, the men lay down near the fire and closed their eyes, searching desperately for sleep, which would elude them most of the night.
When dawn came, they rose and were invited to join the Indians for a meal of boiled fish and vegetables. The breakfast warmed their shivering, tired bodies and gave them hope that this day wouldn't be their last.
One of the chiefs approached them and attempted to communicate using simple gestures. They quickly understood that their lives would be spared but that they would remain as captives. Next, the chief found a stick and drew a simple map in the dirt to show them where they would be traveling. It appeared they would canoe a considerable distance to a village located near a large lake in the north.
All of the Indians were grim faced and disgusted as they broke camp and loaded their canoes for the return trip, forcing the explorers to do the same. They were deeply angered at having lost the element of surprise in their quest to attack a neighboring tribe they had been pursuing for the past several days. Soon the fleet of canoes was in the river and the explorers were required to take the lead as they paddled north. The sun was now rising over the bluff and wisps of fog swirled over the river. The Indians howled and moaned in revulsion at returning to the village without a victory, let alone without even fighting a battle. As Hennepin listed to their cries, a faint smile creased his face. With his canoe mates paddling feverishly to stay ahead of the more skilled Indians, Hennepin looked around and thought, this is going to be a great tale to tell.

While gold seekers who came overland were known as 'Overlanders', those who came by sea were called 'Argonauts'.
The word Argonaut comes from Greek mythology. A band of heroes went with Jason in his quest to find the Golden Fleece. This word is broken down into Argo (the ship in which Jason's Argonauts sailed), and nautes (a sailor).
Coming by ship, there were two routes that argonauts took in order to get to the west coast during the Fraser River gold rush. The first was the route via Panama or Nicarauga, and the second was around the Cape Horn.
The route around Cape Horn was the longest voyage. Ships that left New England spent an average time of six months at sea and some as long as 200 days.
Not surprisingly, argonauts were relieved when the ships stopped at Valparaiso or another Central American port. Most diaries mention how the passengers eagerly ate tropical fruits, especially after having to endure months of a montonous diet.

2023 GMC Sierra 3500 Review: Denali, Diesel, AT4
Sometimes we forget how cool the 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 HD truck can be. Well, it is a mechanical twin of the Silverado 3500, meaning the capacities are the same. General Motors is a leader in towing capacity among heavy-duty trucks thanks to the combination of Duramax diesel engine and Allison transmission. Still, that is not all, since the 2023 Sierra 3500 is also going to offer a petrol engine and various other upgrades.
For the upcoming season there won't be huge moves. The truck was updated recently and only minor changes are about to be introduced. The AT4x is one of the possibilities. The new package should improve off-road capabilities. At the top of the range will still be the premium Denali version. The 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 is sitting above the competition in the base form, with more features available and more quality materials used in the cabin.
2023 GMC Sierra 3500 Diesel Specs
The 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 diesel is definitely under the spotlight because of its capabilities. A 6.6-liter V8 Duramax TD drivetrain is mighty. Properly equipped, the truck can haul up to 36,000 pounds, which is more than any other series 3 HD model (Ram 3500 and Ford F-350). Nevertheless, compared to the competition, the engine creates less power and torque – 440 hp and 910 lb-ft. But, it is not an obstacle to making the best output when it comes to the towing capacity. We also must mention Allison transmission. The company recently updated the setup and it led to significant improvements. We can also find rumors that Ram HD trucks might get this gearbox as the replacement for the AISIN system.
Besides the diesel unit, the 2023 Sierra 3500 will also offer a 6.6-liter gasoline engine. It replaces a 6.0-liter mill as a response to the new drivetrain for the Ford F-350. Still, this is not a favorite option for most truckers. Nothing can be compared to the towing capacity of a turbodiesel V8. Nevertheless, a petrol configuration can haul up to 20,000 pounds, and it is not a bad result. Also, the gasoline engine is cheaper to maintain. A 6-speed auto transmission is paired with a gasoline unit.
2023 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali and AT4
Definitely, those are some of the best-known packages in the HD segment. The 2023 GMC Sierra 3500 is going to offer both luxury and off-road features through Denali and AT4 models. The first one is top of the range version for most GMC vehicles. High-end options, such as MultiPro tailgate and Trailering camera system are available, as well as plenty of other options. On the other hand, the Sierra AT4 is an off-road specialist, with unique accessories, such as skid plates, special shocks and suspension, and all-terrain tires… You will have fun driving it on any kind of surface. For the new season, the company could improve it and present it as the AT4x package. This one is debuting on the compact Canyon, and fans accept it well, be sure that all other vehicles with the AT4 model will go the same way as the small pickup.

The first call for applications for Advancement of Collaborative Teaching Scholarship has attracted seven grant requests. Six proposals were selected and accepted for funding. These projects are considered as a useful contribution to the development of teaching skills in liberal arts and sciences.
The Selection Committee consisted of ECOLAS Executive Board members Hans Adriaansens, Laurent Boetsch and Samuel Abraham. Watch our website for more news about future opportunities and programmes of ECOLAS.
The purpose of this scholarship scheme is to support teachers at Liberal Arts and Sciences institutions in advancing their teaching and student learning. The goal is to support course innovation projects centred on improved student learning through both innovative and more traditional teaching methods. The projects shall pair a junior teacher and a senior teacher who will act as a mentor guiding the junior colleague throughout the process of course innovation. Similarly the projects can pair two teachers who teach the same course at different institutions and who tailor the course in innovative ways based on the learning environment and student needs at their respective institutions. In either case the collaboration should take 2-3 months throughout the summer semester 2015/2016.
As a result of the innovation project, the scholarship recipients are asked to prepare a written report (2,000 words) in which they summarise the design of the project and evaluate its outcomes on student learning. A necessary condition for awarding the scholarship is that the teacher collects and evaluates the evidence on how student learning has changed after introducing an innovation. As sources of this evidence, teachers can use examples of student work (assignments, essays, projects, written exams, etc.), student feedback questionnaires, interviews with student focus groups, peer observation summaries from colleague teachers, student grades, teacher's reflections as noted in his/her teaching diary, etc. Ideally, several examples from these sources shall be collected and evaluated in the report. Comparison of the outcomes of the innovation with findings from existing literature on university student learning as published in academic journals and books is strongly encouraged.
The applicants are required to submit a design of their innovation project (600-800 words) describing the problem they wish to address, and the specific nature of the innovation together with expected impact on student learning. In addition, they should describe what kind of partnership they will form (junior-senior colleague or teachers from different institutions) and how their collaboration shall take place (regular face-to-face meetings, phone talks, online "meetings").
In order to apply, fill in this application form and send it to info@ecolas.eu.
Applications should be endorsed by dean or department head to ensure that the proposed activity is consistent with the candidate's ongoing professional development. A brief support can be sent either by e-mail or as a letter. Deadline for submission of applications is extended to March 6, 2016. The selection results will be published here no later than March 10, 2016. There will be up to 7 scholarships of EUR 1500 / project awarded in the programme's first year, 2016. The awarded applicants will be contacted through ECOLAS office in Bratislava.

Tarifa Informationen
Internationally renowned as a windsurfer's paradise, the ancient fishing village of Tarifa has been attracting thousands of water sports enthusiasts and sun-worshippers to its golden beaches and clear blue waters for over two decades now.
Together with the many hippies who congregate here, they fill the town with a relaxed and cosmopolitan ambience that is unique in Andalucía.
The situation of Tarifa at the gateway between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, where the southern tip of Europe almost touches the northern tip of Africa, is equally unique.
Tarifa's reputation as a windsurfing capital and an authentically laid-back paradise is well-established among those in the know.
The dusty little town retains its unique surfers' atmosphere in a way that is both 'cool' and unpretentious; its friendly ambience andlaissez-faire attitude are just as famous as its wonderful waters and its reliable winds, yet somehow Tarifa has managed to escape the attentions of the masses who frequent the resorts on the nearby Costa del Sol.
Neither a tacky, tower block-lined holiday town nor a swish, palm tree-lined resort for the well-heeled, this is an unassuming little place that avoids souvenir shops and golf courses, and just wants to enjoy a beautiful way of life.
Built on a rocky spur that marks the southern tip of the European continent and guards the Straits of Gibraltar, Tarifa is actually not visible from the coastal highway that leads from Algeciras to Cádiz.
If you're not paying attention you might miss the turn off altogether-maybe a conscious effort by those who have 'discovered' thiseasygoing paradise to keep it for themselves.
But even if you do catch the turn off down to this much-loved fun spot, you might at first wonder what all the fuss is about; Tarifa appears at first glance rather dusty place not unlike many other out-of-the-way towns in Andalucía. What, then, is it that draws visitors from across Europe to this little town?
With this on their minds and a somewhat bewildered expression on their faces, newcomers are easily recognisable here, as they set out on their mission to come to terms with the place.
But see them again several hours later and the bewilderment will have made way for a relaxed smile. They will have wandered through the maze of streets and alleys in the old town, peered down into the harbour
from the battlements of Tarifa's famous castle, watched the windsurfers ride the waves and the beautiful bodies tanning on the fine, white beaches.
But most of all, they will remember Tarifa for its seductively infectious atmosphere of peace, ease and laid-backness. There are many places with fine historical quarters and imposing monuments, beautiful scenery and gorgeous beaches, but there is no other place that has the languid, sun-kissed atmosphereof Tarifa. Once you've experienced it, you'll keep coming back, torn between telling everybody about it and keeping it all to yourself.
Don't worry about it, though, Tarifa has already been on the map for some time now. Its popularity may have resulted in larger numbers of visitors, but for the time being at least, this relaxed oasis seems to be maintaining its unique hang-ten blend of windsurfers, hippies and villagers. The alleyways of the old town are full of cafés, cheap hostels and hippy craft shops, while the roads that lead to the golden beaches and Caribbean-like sea are lined with surf shops and vegetarian snack bars. Typical of Tarifa's 'anything goes' ambience is the freedom to enjoy the town in your own way, be it sunbathing, lounging at a roadside café or hunting for antiques. In summer, the hostels, cafés and bistros fill up with lively, but 'chilled' visitors, while the warm golden sands, clear blue skies and transparent seadraw crowds of sun-worshippers and romantics alike. Lying on the beach you cannot help but feel good, as you take in the sparkling Atlantic, an African coast that seems close enough to touch, and a diverse spectacle of water sports.
Although this part of the Andalusian coast receives over 3,000 hours of sunlight per year, the Atlantic Ocean moderates temperatures, creating a mild, dry climate that is invigorating-especially if you are used to the more humid conditions of the Mediterranean.
Propelled by the powerful winds that once drove locals crazy, water sports-and windsurfing in particular-have transformed Tarifa from a sleepy little fishing port into the European equivalent of Hawaii, Australia and South Africa.
Thanks to both the strength and the reliability of these winds, you'll see dedicated surfers out at sea all year round, but when waves reach heights of more than two metres-a rare treat in Europe-Hawaiian scenes unfold as surfers scramble to ride them. The gentler conditions of spring and autumn are better suited to beginners, who will also be grateful for the greater availability of space in which to practise their skills and the chance to experience the build up to summer, when a host of international competitions hits Europe's windsurfing capital.
Together, the seemingly odd mix of windsurfers, hippies, bikers and more conventional holidaymakers creates a surprisingly complementary bohemian culture and a lifestyle that is the envy of city slickers.
Word has got around and the sound of Spanish, English, German, French, Dutch and Italian gives Tarifa an international feel. There is no clustering by nationality here though, as campsites fill with like-minded spirits, creating impromptu communes.
Regarded by some as the 'birthplace of not normal clothing', anything goes in Tarifa. In summer, all night beach parties and rock concerts, rather than the techno-raves of Ibiza, fill the night air and revellers flock to quaintly relaxed restaurants, cafés and bars.
Though the best view of Tarifa's port and surroundings can be had from the battlements of the castle of Guzmán the Good, visitors are encouraged to stroll along the promenade that runs and transparent seadraw crowds of sun-worshippers and romantics alike. Lying on the beach you cannot help but feel good, as you take in the sparkling Atlantic, an African coast that seems close enough to touch, and a diverse spectacle of water sports.

As you may know from reading this excellent post from Richard Bennett, there was an initiative brought about by the partnership between Cloudreach and Google that caused a big rush on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) certifications just before Christmas.
We managed to get the incredible number of 120 certifications in under one month, becoming one of the most certified Google partners globally through a milestone achievement.
Staying true to one of Cloudreach's core values of "promoting personal growth", the challenge was opened up to everyone in the company. Engineers and Architects were a main focus of course, but some of the less technical oriented roles such as Cloud Enablement Leaders or Cloud Engagement Managers were also strongly encouraged to engage in the challenge.
I was managing Cloureach's very first GCP engagement whilst this was going on, so there were no excuses to not take part myself!
Do not take this exam too lightly!
Full disclosure: I failed my first attempt.
The Google Cloud Architect certification is rooted in a solid understanding of not only cloud fundamentals but also the overall architecture needed to bring about functional endeavours in the cloud. Despite finishing the month with an impressive number of Cloud Architect and Data Engineer certified Cloudreachers, we also witnessed some of our brightest engineers fall short of the mark initially.
I approached this exam knowing I had passed the AWS SA certification some years ago and found it more of a challenge. The unofficial general consensus finds the difficulty of the Google Cloud Architect exam as somewhere between the AWS Solutions Architect Associate and Professional certification.
A Cloud Guru: Introduction to Google Cloud Platform.
What is the interest for a PM?
I finally passed my exam at the second attempt.
You might ask; what interest is there for a Project Manager to obtain this certification? Great question!
Here at Cloudreach we aren't the usual type of Project Managers. We are Cloud Engagement Managers. These two words make all the difference in our day to day endeavors.
We'll assume that by us being there we have an understanding on what Cloud is all about, so let's focus on the second word: Engagement.
An engagement is more extensive than the purview of a project. An engagement can take the form of a classical data center migration project with PM skills and methodology being the key to success, but an engagement can also be more like advisory missions where customer expectations remain firmly technical.
That's true, however by having a well rooted technical background, you'll understand the in's and out's of your engagement and gain confidence from your customer more easily. You'll also be more efficient in evangelising your project and convincing resistant stakeholders.
Another thing to consider is the collective intelligence and output of your team, which when everyone speaks the same language can help find multipliers across many areas.
For example, at the beginning of our engagement only one member of the team was certified while at the end everyone was. That increased a lot our ability to tackle issues as a group and stay consistent in front of the customer.
Is the challenge worth it? Yes definitely!
The journey to passing such a certification can be interesting for Project Managers. It's hard stuff, it's uncomfortable, and it's a challenge but it's worth it. It can help you to better drive your engagement and enable the most out of your teams. However it will depend of your technical competence and some possible former experience or education.
So now you know we are truly GCP experts. If you have any questions around this area or project opportunities we can definitely help you. Just get in touch.

The North Haven Republican Town Committee (NHRTC) is a community organization involved in all factors that address the quality of life in North Haven. The qualities that attract people to become North Haven residents, such as sound fiscal policy and an exceptional education system, are in large part due to the contributions made by the variuos republican administrations throughout the Town's history. For over 200 years, the Republican Party has been the majority party in our Town. In those 200+ years, the Town has been lead by a non-Republican administration only twice, and those administrations lasted but one term before being returned to a Republican administration.
Support local Republican candidates for elected offices such as letter writing, hands-on campaigning, and neighborhood walk-along participation.
Organizing local fundraisers in support of all NHRTC activities.
Conducting annual Caucuses and Nominating Conventions.
Coordinating activites with the Republican Town Committees of surrounding towns and the State Republican Central Committee.
Encouraging voter turnout by staffing call centers to "Get Out The Vote" during campaign periods prior to Election Day.
The NHRTC consists of 35 registered Republican voters. In even-numbered years, the NHRTC is involved with the campaigns of Republican candidates seeking national offices, statewide offices and legislative positions. In odd-numbered years, the NHRTC focuses its efforts on electing Republican candidates for town-wide positions.
Respect for the rule of law.
Less taxation on individual, businesses and investments.
Removal of burdensome regulations on individuals and business, while supporting the level of limited regulation necessary to ensure fair competition.
Support of policies that further the preservation of our environment and natural resources.
Advocacy of individual private property rights.
Holding public schools accountable to ensure public funds are spent wisely, and effectively measure and evaluate educational progress.
Freedom of parents to send their children to high performance schools.
Educate and inform the general public about America's national heritage and citizenship responsibilities.


To make the candied walnuts: In a small sauté pan or skillet, combine walnuts, water, sugar, allspice, cayenne pepper and kosher salt. Bring to a boil and cook, occasionally swirling the pan, until the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Continue to boil until the water has almost evaporated and the sugar thickens into a syrup and begins to turn golden. Immediately turn the mixture out onto a lightly oiled plate. Let cool and harden, then break the nuts into pieces. Set aside, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 10" nonstick skillet over medium heat; add prosciutto and fry until crisp, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper-towel lined plate and set aside to cool.
Whisk jam and vinegar in medium microwave-safe bowl; stir in figs. Cover with plastic wrap, cut several steam vents in plastic, and microwave on high until figs are plump, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons oil, shallot, ¼ teaspoon slat, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; toss to combine. Let cool to room temperature.

Scarecrows & Pumpkins
The arrival of Halloween in Westchester means it's time for the Great Jack O' Lantern Blaze at Van Cortlandt Manor. This year, in honor of the Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial, find a pumpkin replica of the Half Moon among the ghosts, dinosaurs, and skeletons (500 S Riverside Ave, Croton-on-Hudson, 914-631-8200). If the Blaze inspires your family, they can try their hands at pumpkin painting—or, better yet, pumpkin bowling—at Mariani Gardens' Spooktacular (45 Bedford Rd, Armonk, 914-273-3083). Pumpkins also mark the trail for the Greenburgh Nature Center's Scarecrows and Pumpkins Parade on October 25—a trail that ends with apple-cider and treats (99 Dromore Rd, Scarsdale, 914-813-1831). Speaking of scarecrows, you can meet and walk among more than 500 scarecrows on the grounds of Lyndhurst during its month-long Scarecrow Invasion (635 S Broadway, Tarrytown, 914-631-4481).

Kid-Friendly Festivities
The best day to catch a glimpse of Lyndhurst's scarecrows is October 30, when it holds its annual Boofest, at which families can enjoy barn dancing, fortune telling, mansion touring, and wicked-witch storytellers. Younger kids may be too frightened by the Headless Horseman's ride at Historic Hudson Valley's Legend Nights, but bring them to the Legend Daytime events—with spooky tales, magic tricks, phrenology, and more—and they can have fun and still sleep in their own beds at night (Philipsburg Manor, 381 N Broadway, Sleepy Hollow, and Washington Irving's Sunnyside, 89 W Sunnyside La, Tarrytown, 914-631-8200, hudsonvalley.org). If they don't like ghosts and horsemen, try wolves—no, not werewolves—at the Wolf Conservation Center's Halloween Howl, featuring holiday goodies for both people and wolves (7 Buck Run, South Salem, 914-763-2373, nywolf.org). Kids with rhythm will want to boogie down to "Werewolves of London" and the "Monster Mash" at Groove Performing Arts's Halloween Jam (157 Larchmont Ave, Larchmont, 914-834-3383).
Film & Lit
Nothing puts you in a creepy mood faster than a scary movie. Brooklyn-based chamber ensemble the BQE Project heightens the tension by providing a live accompaniment to James Whale's Frankenstein, starring Boris Karloff, on October 31 at the Paramount Center for the Arts (1008 Brown St, Peekskill, 914-739-233). For more modern chills, on October 29, you can choose between the quietly intense scares of Ridley Scott's Alien or the higher-velocity thrills of James Cameron's Aliens (Director's Cut) at the Jacob Burns Film Center (364 Manville Rd., Pleasantville, 914-747-5555). Further south, the Picture House will be showing three John Carpenter films on the Saturdays leading up to Halloween: Halloween (on October 17), The Fog (October 24), and The Thing (October 31; The Picture House, 175 Wolfs La, Pelham, 914-738-3161). And, since what you dream up in your head is always more frightening than what they could put on screen, you have two chances to see Edgar Allen Poe impersonators read from the writer's works. On October 24, actor/director John Astin—best known for playing Gomez Addams in The Addams Family, appropriately enough—will do poetry and conversation at the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture to celebrate the Ten-Year Anniversary of Visible Theatre (630 Bedford Rd, Pocantico Hills, 914-366-6200; tickets call 212-868-8444). The next day, the Rye Arts Center hosts its annual Evermore event, at which "Poe" will be joined by a panel of current mystery writers for readings and a Q&A (51 Milton Rd, Rye, 914-967-0700).
Celebrate the harvest down on the farm at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture.
Adults in the Spirit
You may be too old to go trick-or-treating, but you still want to do more than hold your kid's overflowing candy bucket. Don your best costume on October 31 and head to the (adults-only) Halloween Party at Le Château, where there will be a buffet dinner, drinks, and dancing to a DJ (1410 Rte 35, North Salem, 914-533-6631). Or put on your best Sherlock Holmes garb and board the Tahiti Queen River Boat, where the Killing Kompany will perform its interactive comedic murder mystery show, Haunting for Murder (Charles Point Marina, Peekskill, 845-597-7272).
Walk through these darkened corridors, where unspeakable horrors lie around every corner waiting to startle you. (Wait, is this supposed to be fun?) If you're not faint of heart, check out Scared by the Sound on Playland's grounds (1 Playland Parkway, Rye, 877-SCARY-FUN)
You love the changing seasons, but can't get behind all the ghoulishness. Celebrate the bounty of autumn instead with Stone Barns Center's October 3 Harvest Fest, which features live music, farming workshops, hayrides, and—best of all—a pie bake-off (630 Bedford Rd, Pocantico Hills, 914-366-6200). The Jay Heritage Center also gets into the season with storytelling, music, refreshments, and heritage farm animals at its Jay Day celebration on October 3 (210 Boston Post Rd, Rye, 914-698-9275), and the Stamford Museum and Nature Center has its Harvest Festival on October 18 (39 Scofieldtown Rd, Stamford, CT, 203-322-1646). Or skip the hayrides and pumpkin picking to celebrate the season the right way—with beer—at the Westchester Broadway Theatre's Oktoberfest celebration (1 Broadway Plz, Elmsford, 914-592-2222).

These Giant 3D-Printed Eyeballs Are Freakishly Realistic
by Lindsey Romain
Feb 9 2021 • 7:49 AM
Weta Workshop is one of the most innovative and respected special effects companies in the game. Richard Taylor founded the New Zealand-based workshop in 1987. Since then, they've designed effects for everything from Xena: Warrior Princess to Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Weta team is constantly working on impressive new effects. And their latest project… well, let's just say all eyes are on this one.
Adam Savage went to New Zealand for his YouTube series Tested to check out Weta's 3D printing lab. There, designers are hard at work perfecting highly realistic human eyeballs. Savage talked to Weta founded Richard Taylor and 25-year-old 3D artist Tor Robinson about the project, and why it's so important to create these detailed eyeballs.
"Eyes are so critical to get right if you want a character to feel right," Taylor explained.
Taylor went on to detail some of the challenges in creating eyes that look absolutely human. It comes down to getting the veins right, which can be challenging when painting. That's where a specific type of 3D printing called "voxel printing" comes into play. The technology helps create the translucent look of the eye.
Adam Savage's Tested
The process of creating and printing these eyeball designs is exhaustive and expensive. For Robinson, it's been years of work. According to Weta Workshop's website, she went six straight months developing this specific 3D printing technology, after joining the company in 2017 out of Victoria University. The site also explains the exact process. Essentially, Robinson uses a 3D software program called Houdini to build the incredible detail of the eyes. The designs are printed out on a Stratasys J750 printer. This controls the droplets—or the "voxels"—produced by the printer.
You can learn more about the design process of these incredible eyeballs in the video above. Weta Workshop content never disappoints, but this is particularly impressive. We're eager to see how these hyper-realistic eyeballs factor into film and television of the future.

I offered Mass for her this morning. It's the least I can do for such a great educator.
Our sincere condolences to the family of Dra. Bacungan, a selfless educator who molded our minds and spirits at Pisay. Please know that Dra. Bacungan was instrumental in shaping this recalcitrant student, and I salute her for her dedication, her passion, and her caring for each of us. We will remember her always, and hope we can live up to her expectations as science scholars.
May your beautiful soul rest in peace, Dra Bacungan.
A mentor par excellence, here's looking forward to honouring you in a big way during the 50th celebration of Pisay, the golden school you made it to be!
Thank you for your decades of dedication. We are still reaping the fruits of your vision for Pisay. As you enjoy eternal rest in the sight of God, please continue watching over Pisay, and pray for us here so that we may also have long and well-lived lives.
To the Bacungan clan: condolences and prayers on behalf of all my batchmates that aren't on the alumni hub.
From the early years of Pisay until years on after her active retirement, DraBacs will always be in our adoring memory paths as our 1st Registrar & 1st Female PSHS Director, succeeding after our founding Director Dr. Velasquez. Though she may have at times an image as a strict disciplinarian, passionate hard-working educator and to most, an understanding & compassionate mentor. Still, we will always remember her fantastic recall for names & faces of the Pisay scholars,particularly witnessed by PisayDos accounts, even after decades from PSHS graduation.
She was always a fount of charisma, inspiration, faith and PSHS Foundation #1 ICON: we lovingly miss you, dear DraBacs. May your soul be blessed forever with peace and joy in Heaven in union with our Creator.
To all the bereaved members of the Bacungan clan, our hearfelt condolences and everlasting compassion we learned from our dear DraBacs,who passed away fittingly on Easter Sunday, Amen.
Dr Bacungan thank you for all that you have done for Pisay and my fellow alumni. I consider the 4 years I have stayed at Pisay to be one of the most life-changing moments in my life. My decision to go into the sciences and to go into research and teching in Genetics was shaped early on by my experiences in high school. You have been a mentor and a model teacher I am aspiring for. I have always wished for my kids to receive the same top notch training and teaching I had received. I am glad that I had a chance to see you in one of your trips to San Francisco and to personally thank you. You have made such a deep impression in all of the students you have touched. You will be missed.
Thank you, mam, you are family to us all of batch '79, words cannot express how i am grateful on how you have helped me become what i am today. Thank you so much. Our prayers and sympathies to your loved ones and family.
Maraming maraming salamat Dra Bacungan sa paghubog sa akin. Pinalago mo ang aking pagmamahal na matuto at magtrabaho nang mabuti.
Thank you for the memories .... and the lessons, one of the most important being is that dreams do come true, we just have to work hard at it.

Home A Week in AAP Images Photographer's perspective: Mila becomes the story
Photographer's perspective: Mila becomes the story
By Mercedes Carrin Oct 24 2017
It's not often that AAP photographers and their children make the news. But this week was slightly different for Canberra photographer Lukas Coch.
Lukas has been covering everything that goes on at Canberra for the past five years. Mostly focused on politics, he had a big job to do during this past and very intense federal election campaign. After nine weeks of hard work he was enjoying a well deserved break just in time for school holidays.
He was at home with his seven-year-old daughter Mila when he got a text message from the Prime Minister's office: "Photo Opp in 20 mins."
Despite being on holidays, Lukas grabbed his gear and went straight to Parliament House - and Mila came with him.
Mr Turnbull had already heard about Mila in other encounters with Lukas so when Mila turned up he very kindly offered her to take a seat on his chair. Mila very politely said "no". To continue the friendly conversation, the Prime Minister then asked if she had met other Prime Ministers before, to which Mila replied "I've met, umm, Tony Abbott!".

Mila's innocent response was soon picked up by Australian media, with the reports describing the event as slightly "awkward" for Turnbull. The headlines read:
"When Malcolm Turnbull met little Mila" (The Australian)
"Awkward moment Malcolm Turnbull's first meeting as Prime Minister is hijacked by a junior Tony Abbott fan" (Daily Mail Australia)
"This Little Girl Accidentally Trolled The PM On His First Day Back" (Buzzfeed)
"Malcolm Turnbull's Awkward Reminder On First Day Back At Work" (Huffington Post)
"Schoolgirl makes Malcolm Turnbull squirm on first day back at work" (Channel 9)
There was nothing awkward about this for Mila though. Seeing Prime Ministers at Parliament House is not uncommon for her. Turnbull and Abbott are in fact not the only PMs she has seen in her lifetime. She saw Julia Gillard in the hallways of Parliament House and since she was born has seen or heard of four Prime Ministers - which is probably why this particular situation was picked up by the media.
I don't think it's about Tony Abbott or Malcolm Turnbull, it's about the fact that in her lifetime she has already seen or met four Prime Ministers and what that tells you about Australian politics - Lukas Coch - Mila's father and AAP Photographer
While there is plenty to reflect on off the back of Mila and Turnbull's encounter, for Lukas it reinforced what every photojournalist already knows: never miss an opportunity, not even while on holidays. You never know when the the big story will come your way.

Tess The Musical

Read What's On Stage blog
Tess - A Herstory (Phase The Third)
Hello again and thanks for clicking over to d'Blog.
In "Tess – A Herstory (Phase the Third… Phase? Check out Hardy's novel for the reason)", composer Michael Blore reflects on his initially slow musical progress and a personal tragedy.
"Aside from the "love that book" response and having the long-standing ambition, there were other reasons for wanting to take on "Tess". One of these was its theme of love and loss. It chimed with me because of the experience of losing my partner, John, in 2000. I had written "Trekkin" for him and we were planning on the next musical venture together when he so tragically and unexpectedly died. It is true to say that writing a musical was for me then unfinished business.
My composing "Tess" was also being encouraged on the home front by my civil partner (another John!). His reaction on hearing this news? "Yeah… that could work". Not being one for moments of gushing excitement, it was encouragement indeed from someone who had spent most of his life either acting in or directing musicals and knew a thing or two about what it takes for a show to be successful.
So it was with high hopes and trepidation (as well as some degree of emotion) that I took along some songs for Mike to listen to at our very first planning meeting (April 18th 2013 for all the a-Tess-ciondas among you). We'd agreed beforehand that if my compositional style didn't match his vision of the sound world for the show then "Tess" would be a non-starter. He was after music with heart to support his writing that, as he described, was all "head". His reaction to my songs? He had a tear. Result! We were as one. "Tess" would be a musical in a classically Romantic style with a majestic score full of lush harmonies and beautiful (as well as hopefully memorable) melodies. Blimey! Now I had to write the thing!
I was buzzing with ideas. Most of those springing from long walks with my two dogs, Jack and Tess (yes, really – though she was born way before our musical baby was conceived). However, all musical ideas were kept in check as we set about shaping the story and characters to fit our theatrical purposes. There was another reason for initially slow musical progress. Life. I had a job – as an actor – and was about to begin rehearsals on a play to tour the UK.
Still, the dog-walking song was taking shape and gained an encouraging "That's nice" from John when I first played it to him. The song? "In My Hand". Oddly enough, having the "Hello to Tess" song quickly led on to sketches for her farewell number, which would become "Guardian Angel". In hindsight, having the finale mapped out from the outset was a great help in planning the whole route of the show's musical journey.
The next few months were taken up with sketches for a dairymaids number and by July I had drafted a setting of the Lord's Prayer, but Tessie time was very limited as I was now on tour with the play "Up4aMeet?". I was beginning to wonder whether this was going to be too much of a commitment for me. There was no pressure from Mike, just my own sense of bitten-off-more-than-I-could-chew. Then while on tour, I got the news that my partner John had been taken to hospital. Within 5 days, he died. My life and that of "Tess" was about to change forever.
Thank you for reading the latest d'Blog. Please feel free to comment. We'd like to hear from you :-)

I'm a list maker. That doesn't mean I always use my lists but I do make them. I write down what I need at the grocery store then promptly leave the list elsewhere. I write down things I have to do at work and cross them off or write them again for the next day. And every year it seems I have the same old resolutions; exercise more, eat less; get more organized, work less. I always have the best intentions, yet my resolve rarely lasts through January, if even that long.
Those things are important, no doubt. But I wonder if some of the little things I let slide, the things not written down, aren't just as important.
What if I went to bed before midnight and got up a little earlier in the morning? I'd miss some of the horrid traffic on the everyday commute. I'd see the last of the night turn into the brand new morning. I'd get to work on time.
What if I didn't say, "In a minute," or "maybe tomorrow" or "not right now" when one of the littles wanted me to do something? I'd have a good time. Whichever one or even all of them would have a good time. I'd make a memory.
What if I saved that almost $5.00 for a coffee drink that usually doesn't taste right anyway? I'd have money to get new windows. I'd be able to have a date night. I could buy more Christmas presents or I'd have a bonus in case of a rainy day.
What if I just did whatever it is instead of waiting for a better time? Or until I wasn't so tired? It would be done. I'd be finished. Then I could go on and do something I really wanted to do instead of always something I had to do.
And what if I didn't eat that piece of candy that I don't really want anyway? I'd save a few calories which in turn might save a few pounds. I'd feel better and look better and probably become healthier. And I wouldn't have to go to the dentist as often.
What if instead of waiting until tomorrow I got started today? Just think of the possibilities! I can catch up on all the things I've missed. I'll start living. And that's a great thing to have on my list.
The flu bug or something just as dreadful hit our house. This, in fact, is the second time I've been a target. I don't know if it's really THE flu but whatever it is has power. I'm knocked out and every bit of energy is zapped. Add that to cough, congestion, head and body aches and well, I think I was sick. I'm at the tail end of the cycle, just in time to go back to work. Now Alan is in bed with the same ailments. I couldn't do much but I did manage to play with yarn. I knitted a couple of infinity scarves and also crocheted some as well, just for a break. I played with Scribble Lace, one of my favorite things to do. It's quite nice really!
One really thick yarn and one really thin yarn.
Excellent goal! Funny how that stash multiplies before you even know it! I think you'll get it done.

A world-famous
Surrey's most
Market town
Epsom is regularly praised as being one of the best places to live in the UK. As befits the home of the Epsom Derby, the town offers a number of top quality equestrian shops and outfitters. But there's much more to discover, including continental-style cafés, a monthly farmers' market (on the first Sunday of every month) and a whole host of big high street names – from H&M and House of Fraser to Pandora and Waitrose.
The Epsom Playhouse in the centre of the town is a jewel of a theatre, hosting a whole range of professional and community productions and a highly popular Summer Film Season. You'll also find a superb range of restaurants and eateries including The Bamboo Basket (tip – the noodles are amazing) and La Familia, renowned for its home-made, authentic tapas. Epsom is not only a delightful place to live, but it's a place where there's no shortage of things to see and do.

With teachers union cash playing a major role in the race for governor, a group on the opposite side of the ideological gap is stepping up its game in expectation of playing a big role in upcoming Chicago City Council elections.
Democrats for Education-Illinois expects to raise $1 million or more to finance aldermanic candidates who back charter schools and related education reform, according to sources in the group. The organization had been all but moribund since it was formed in 2011 but suddenly has kicked its fundraising into high gear, pulling in $60,000 in the past two weeks, including donations from industrialist Jim Crown and his wife, Paula Crown, Jennifer Steans from the politically active Steans clan, and the Texas-based Arnold Foundation.
Fundraising is headed by Executive Director Rebeca Nieves Huffman, who came here after a stint with the Washington-based Hispanic Council for Reform and Educational Options.
Equally interesting is that the group has hired as its new communications director Owen Kilmer, who has been a spokesman for Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and wouldn't be taking the job over his old boss's opposition. Mayor Rahm Emanuel is not involved, I'm told, but the group believes both it and he will end up on the same side of some upcoming ward fights against candidates backed by the Chicago Teachers Union.
News of the group's new activity was first reported by David Ormsby in the Illinois Observer, but the group already is being smacked around pretty good by the CTU-affiliated Chicagoans United for Economic Security.
In a statement released late yesterday, the group blasted Democrats for Education Reform for intervening to help what may be the CTU's top legislative target in the March 11 Democratic primary, state Rep. Christian Mitchell, a South Side Democrat who defied the union in voting for state pension reform last year.
Democrats for Education Reform is a "notorious" group that serves "as a front for financiers that seek to spread charter schools in Chicago," and even went so far as to try to raise money for Mr. Mitchell and name him its "reformer of the month" in January, according to CTU.
It's worth noting, though, that among those helping Mr. Mitchell is former top presidential aide David Axelrod, who worked with Mr. Mitchell in the Obama campaign and will hold a fundraiser for him at his home next week.
Clearly, the question of how and whether to shore up teacher pension funds by tax hikes, benefits cuts or both clearly is not going away. The war is just moving to a new front.
The city elections are next February.
Meanwhile, labor's overall top target in the primary election, GOP gubernatorial hopeful Bruce Rauner, continues to pull in lots of dough from both himself and others. Yesterday's total was a cool $110,000, including $58,000 from Groupon Inc. and Lightbank founder Eric Lefkofsky.

2020 Belmont Stakes - First Leg of Triple Crown
Edited NYRA Press Release
2020 Belmont Stakes Results
The 152nd running of the Grade 1, $1 million Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park will serve as the Triple Crown's first leg for the first time in history.
Sackatagoa Stable's Tiz the Law headlines the 10-horse field, and will look to become the first NY-bred in 138 years to win the American Classic.
To align with required health and safety measures implemented in New York to mitigate risk and combat the spread of COVID-19, the Belmont Stakes will be held without spectators in attendance. To properly account for the schedule adjustments and overall calendar for 3-year-olds in training, the race will be run at a distance of 1 1/8-miles, marking the first time since 1925 the contest will not feature its signature 1 1/2-mile test.
The Belmont Stakes will now kick off the Triple Crown sequence as the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby, the traditional opener, was moved to September 5 at Churchill Downs and the Grade 1 Preakness set to close the Classic series on October 3 at Pimlico Race Course.
The Belmont Stakes, offering 150-60-30-15 points Kentucky Derby qualifying points to the top-four finishers, is carded as Race 10, will have a post time of 5:42 p.m. Eastern. NBC will have live coverage starting at 2:45 p.m. Eastern.

Tiz the Law, the 6-5 morning-line favorite who drew post 8, will bid to become just the fourth-ever state-bred Belmont winner and first since the 19th century, joining Ruthless [first winner in 1867], Fenian [1869] and Forester [1882].
The Barclay Tagg trainee is the race's only multiple graded stakes winner and has already registered a pair of Grade 1 triumphs, starting with his only previous Belmont Park appearance when he followed a debut win by posting a four-length victory in the Champagne in October.
After ending his juvenile year with a third-place finish in the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club in November at Churchill - his only non-winning effort in five career starts - the Constitution colt has dominated the start of his sophomore campaign, capturing the Grade 3 Holy Bull in February at Gulfstream by three lengths, earning a 100 Beyer Speed Figure that makes him the only Belmont entrant to record a triple-digit number.
The talented bay followed with a 4 ¼-length romp in the Grade 1 Florida Derby at the Belmont distance on March 28 at Gulfstream. Tiz the Law will now look to give Tagg a career Triple Crown, following the path of another New York bred in Funny Cide, who won the 2003 Kentucky Derby and Preakness before running third in that year's Belmont.
"It means a lot. You don't get top contenders all the time," Tagg said. "He's a nice horse. Hopefully he's as good we think. You work every day seven days a week, you just hope nothing happens and nothing goes wrong. But so far, so good. We're pleased with the way he's been doing and we're ready for the race."
Tiz the Law is a perfect 4-for-4 on fast tracks in his career. He has continued to train forwardly at Belmont, including a half-mile breeze in 50.42 seconds over Big Sandy on Sunday in his last work before the start of Triple Crown season.
"I asked him this morning and he said 'don't worry about it,'" Tagg joked. "Nothing seems to faze him in any way. I'd have rather been a little closer [post position-wise], but I don't think it makes much of a difference. He's coming in good; I can't be happier with him."
Jockey Manny Franco, NYRA's leading rider the last two years, will have his first career Belmont start after piloting Tiz the Law to wins in three of his last four starts.
"We love Manny," Tagg said. "He's been good for us. He's a very good rider."
Sole Volante returned off a three-month layoff to best a six-horse optional-claiming field by three-quarters of a length on Wednesday at Gulfstream. That win showed trainer Patrick Biancone that the ultra-consistent son of Karakontie recaptured his early year form when he won the Grade 3 Sam F. Davis in February at Tampa before running second to King Guillermo in the Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby on March 7.
Italian for "Flying Sun," Sole Volante has radiated success, going 4-1-1 in six career starts. Owned by Reeves Thoroughbred Racing and Andie Biancone, Sole Volante drew post 2 at 9-2 odds. Luca Panici will ride.
"He arrived last night and ate everything this morning. So far, so good," Biancone said. "He's very talented. He's been very good for us and trains his best all the time. We'll see how good he is Saturday. No question, Tiz the Law is the horse to beat, but he totally [deserves] this opportunity."
Trainer Todd Pletcher, a three-time Belmont winner, will saddle a pair of contenders in St. Elias Stable's Dr Post and Farmington Road.
Dr Post was given a seven-month respite off a fourth-place debut last July at Belmont and returned by winning a seven-furlong maiden sprint on March 29 at Gulfstream. The Quality Road colt was moved up to stakes company last out, overcoming a troubled trip to win the 1 1/16-mile Unbridled on April 25 at Gulfstream.
"I think there's a lot of talent there. I was very impressed by his maiden win," said Pletcher. "With the amount of adversity he overcame in the Unbridled, it seems like he's made a lot of progress in a short period of time. He's a big, strong horse that seems to be improving. This is a big jump up in class and he's a little light on seasoning, but he seems to have the talent."
Pletcher said the barn has always had faith in the $400,000 purchase at the 2018 Keeneland Sale.
"Before Saratoga last year, we felt like he was one of our more promising 2-year-olds," said Pletcher. "He had a bit of a setback after his maiden race, but he's one we've always seen a lot of potential from."
Dr Post, at odds of 5-1, drew post 9 with Irad Ortiz, Jr. aboard.
His stablemate, Farmington Road, has one win in six starts but has made his last three starts at the new Belmont distance, including a second in the Oaklawn on April 11 before running fourth in a division of the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby on May 2.
Pletcher said the late-running colt would benefit from a solid early pace.
"That would definitely help Farmington Road. He's a one-run horse," said Pletcher. "He likes to settle and come from off the pace. A true-run race would definitely be to his benefit."
Farmington Road and Dr Post worked a half-mile in company in 48.87 seconds on the Belmont Park main track Saturday.
Pletcher said he was impressed by how Farmington Road is training into Saturday's test.
"He's training great into this race," said Pletcher. "I thought his breeze over the track was very good. It seems like he's in good form at the moment."
Owned by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Chrysalis Stables and Robert LaPenta, Farmington Road, 15-1, will break from post 5 in tandem with Hall of Famer Javier Castellano.
George E. Hall's Max Player enters with a brief but impressive resume, going 2-1-0 in three starts, including back-to-back wins. Trainer Linda Rice, who will be looking to become the first female conditioner to win a Belmont Stakes, saw Max Player break his maiden by 4 ¼ lengths on December 17 at Parx and follow with a 3 ¼-length win in the 1 1/8-mile Grade 3 Withers, a Kentucky Derby prep race, in his 3-year-old bow on February 1 at Aqueduct.
"It would be great to win a Belmont or any Triple Crown race," Rice said. "[The Withers] was on February 1 so we're looking at four and a half months. He has improved dramatically in his training the past 60 days. I'm excited about running him this week."
The son of Honor Code is listed at 15-1 and will depart from post 3 in tandem with Joel Rosario, who will be in search of a third Belmont Stakes after wins last year with Sir Winston and in 2014 aboard Tonalist.
"He was never very tactical before," Rice said. "We had to work him in company with another horse to get him to perform and get enough out of his workouts. At this point, he's seasoned, he no longer needs any company and he relaxes early in his workouts. When we ask him to respond, he responds, so we've been very happy with him.
"I would prefer to be little further to the outside with a horse that doesn't like kickback but we are where we are," she added.
Pam and Martin Wygod's Modernist has also earned a winner's circle trip in a graded stakes. Trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott, who won the 2010 Belmont with Drosselmeyer, Modernist broke his maiden at third asking in January at Aqueduct and used that as a springboard to capture a division of the 1 1/8-mile Grade 3 Risen Star on February 15 at Fair Grounds.
The Uncle Mo colt ran third in the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby last out on March 21, earning a personal-best 85 Beyer Speed Figure, and will be returning to Belmont for the first time since running fifth in his debut in September.
Listed at 15-1, Modernist drew post 4 with Junior Alvarado on the call.
Start Earning the Best Daily Rewards in Horse Racing
Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen, who won the 2016 Belmont with Creator, will saddle a pair of entrants in Calumet Farm's Jungle Runner and Winchell Thoroughbreds' Pneumatic.
Pneumatic [8-1] has made just three starts and won two of them. Graduating to stakes company last out, the son of Uncle Mo ran third in the Grade 3 Matt Winn on May 23 at Churchill. Ricardo Santana, Jr. will have the call from post 10.
Jungle Runner, the winner of the Clever Trevor as a sophomore, will be looking for his first blacktype in four starts as a sophomore, entering off an eighth in a division of the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby. New York native Reylu Gutierrez will have his first mount in a Classic, drawing post 7. The son of Candy Ride is listed at 50-1.
Trainer Mark Casse, fresh off his election into the Hall of Fame, will look to repeat in the Belmont after winning last year's edition with Sir Winston. Casse, who also saw War of Will win the 2019 Preakness, will be going for his third Classic win in two years with Live Oak Plantation's Tap It to Win.
The Tapit ridgling is on a two-race win streak against allowance company and will run in a graded stakes for the first time since running 10th in the Grade 1 Breeders' Futurity in October at Keeneland. Tap It to Win, at 6-1, will have the services of Hall of Famer John Velazquez, making his record 24th Belmont start, from post 1.
"We're the speed in the race so the rail shouldn't hurt us as much as it might've hurt other horses in the race," said Casse assistant Jamie Begg. "There's speed outside of us, so it's not favorable necessarily, but I feel like with his style of running it shouldn't make as much of a difference.
"He came out of his last race great," Begg added. "Initially the plan was to see if we could get his energy up coming back in two weeks, but the horse hasn't missed a beat and is probably training better coming out of that race than he was going into it. We're pretty excited."
Reddam Racing's Fore Left, a bay son of Twirling Candy trained by Doug O'Neill, was expected to sprint seven furlongs in Saturday's Grade 1 Woody Stephens presented by Claiborne Farm before the connections decided to take a run at the Belmont.
Fore Left, who made eight juvenile starts, graduated at first asking in May 2019 at Santa Anita and followed up in June 2019 with a 4 ½-length win in the Tremont, a 5 ½-furlong sprint at Saratoga Race Course.
The versatile bay stretched out in distance in his next two starts at Del Mar finishing third in the six furlong Grade 2 Best Pal and fifth in the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity at seven furlongs. After an off-the-board effort in the 1 1/16-miles American Pharoah in September at Santa Anita, Fore Left returned to sprinting with a win in the 6 ½-furlong Sunny Slope in October at Santa Anita and a third in the six-furlong Golden Nugget in November at Golden Gate. He completed a lengthy campaign with a tenth in his turf debut in the Grade 3 Cecil B. DeMille in December at Del Mar.
Fore Left made a victorious seasonal debut last out in the Group 3 UAE Two Thousand Guineas in February, a one-turn mile at Meydan Racecourse.
Assigned morning-line odds of 30-1, Fore Left will emerge from post 6 under Jose Ortiz, who won the 2017 Belmont aboard Tapwrit.

Several Institute of Technology Carlow sports scholars have come together to launch the Institute's new playing kits for the 2018/2019 season.
Molly Scott (U20's IAAF World Championships 4 x 100m Silver Medal), Amanda Mc Quillan (Ireland Women's Senior Goalkeeper), Meaghan Kenny (Leinster Women's Senior Player), Richie Leahy (Kilkenny Senior Hurler) and Michael Hurley (Cork Senior Footballer) were amongst the Institute of Technology Carlow sports scholars who turned out for the reveal of the new kits.
Institute of Technology Carlow has partnered with O'Neills (GAA), Kukri (Rugby), The GAA Store (Soccer) and CX+ (Athletics) to design and launch the new range of performance kits.
The new designs all incorporate the traditional red and black colours worn in competition in previous years; however this season sees all performance kits feature the new flo green colour previously used only on GAA playing kits.
And, in a new departure, the Carlow colours of red, green and yellow are presented in a newly-designed emblem on the back of each performance jersey.

West Midlands Combined Authority awarded £36m to invest in the region
Posted on 02/09/2016 20/09/2016 by Kate Christie
The new West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) has just received a multi-million pound cash boost to invest directly in the future of the region. Communities Secretary Sajid Javid has transferred £36.5m from Treasury resources to the WMCA as part of its agreed new devolution deal.
The WMCA is a coalition of seven local authorities and three Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) working together to move powers from Whitehall to the West Midlands and its locally elected politicians.
The local authorities are:
• Birmingham City Council
• City of Wolverhampton Council
• Coventry City Council
• Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council
• Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council
• Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council
• Walsall Council
The aim of the WMCA is to create jobs, enhance skills, and develop prosperity and economic growth in the region. The devolution deal, signed in November last year, includes the handing down of powers and money from central government (Whitehall) to the combined local authorities so they can make decisions and spend money for the benefit of the region as they see fit.
Devolution gives local people a direct say over issues including transport and encouraging business innovation. The new combined authority was created in June and is set to be chaired by the region's first ever directly-elected mayor, with elections set to take place in May 2017.
The recent funding is the first payment of what is expected to be a total of £1.1bn over the next 30 years. Whitehall has no control over how the money is spent as decisions will be made locally by the WMCA.
According to the WMCA website WMCA chair, Councilor Bob Sleigh, said:
"The West Midlands is the manufacturing heartland of the UK and a dynamic exporter of high quality goods and services but we believe there is much economic growth that remains untapped.
"That's why this payment marks the start of an exciting new era in which we will be far better equipped to build on our strengths, improve productivity and skills and deliver the transport infrastructure and new homes our region needs.
"It gives us the tools to drive forward the Midlands Engine, helping to unlock growth, jobs and prosperity and ultimately a better quality of life for the four million people of the West Midlands."

What Is CC41 ?
What does CC41 mean ??
Firstly, lets start at the beginning .. some of you will know this but for many of us CC41 is just a label but what does it mean?.. so to give a bit of background info CC41 stands for Civilian Clothing. The 1940s featured clothes heavily influenced by WWI and WWII. This is also where the 41 number comes into play.
Clothes, including dresses, blouses, skirts, trousers, cardigans, jackets and outerwear, rationing was announced on 1 June 1941. The British government needed to reduce production and consumption of civilian clothes to safeguard raw materials and release workers and factory space for war production.
By 1941, with the need to produce clothing and other war essentials for the expanding armed services during the second world war many items were rationed. Certain raw materials could no longer be imported, and those that could were directed towards the war effort. Food rationing had already been reintroduced in January 1940. Non-rationed items saw their price surge, and clothing saw large mark-ups in price, well above the cost of living.
CC41 designated that the item met the government's austerity regulations.
The government introduced Limitation of Supply Orders that forced manufacturers to produce only a fraction of their pre-war amounts. By April 1940, the limits on cloth were having a major impact with a 25% cut in wool and rayon, and a 75% cut in linen. As a consequence, manufacturers ended the production of any loss-making lines which led to calls for clothing rationing to be introduced. The prime minister, Winston Churchill believed that the general public would not accept this change.
In 1941 Oliver Lyttleton, the President of the Board of Trade, managed to introduce clothes rationing. Churchill, although thankful the public accepted the move, replaced Lyttleton with Hugh Dalton (a Labour member of the coalition government since 1940) a month later. Churchill was fully aware that rationing and conscription were now necessary as Britain became involved in a 'total war' spanning the globe.
The austerity provisions governed exactly what could or could not be used in the manufacture of clothes and shoes (for example, number of buttons, pleats or pockets, height of heels, amount of lace or embroidery, no turn-ups on trousers and no double-breasted suits). This was to make sure that wastage and excess was kept to an absolute minimum.
With the introduction of purchase tax in October 1941 items were taxed at different rates and necessities were designated as tax-free. This stimulated production, reduced waste and through higher taxation curtailed the production of expensive clothing. , managed to introduce clothes rationing.
Clothes rationing ended on 15 March 1949. In World War II Britain..
