The timing of the news that 150,000 NHS patients have had their personal health details shared for years against their will could not be much worse.
It is barely a month since the new national data opt-out was launched, part of a safe new era of securely sharing NHS patient data to the benefit of all the government is fiercely promoting.
This vision has already taken a few knocks.
In early May, the government agreed to partially scrap an agreement that allowed NHS Digital to share patients' confidential details with the Home Office to pursue low level immigration offences amid significant criticism.
Bodies representing commissioners and providers came together this week to call for the end of the main pay for performance mechanism in NHS contracts.
NHS Providers and NHS Clinical Commissioners said the "commissioning for quality and innovation" scheme should be scrapped as systems moved to a more collaborative system from 2019-20.
CQUINs have been in place for nearly 10 years, and make part of a providers' income conditional on demonstrating improvements in specified areas of patient care. They control more than £1bn nationally.
It closed quarter four 2017-18, 14 percentage points short of the 95 per cent national target of admitting or discharging emergency patients within four hours. It also failed to meet referral to treatment targets.
In Barking, Havering and Redbridge, more than £25m was disputed between the CCGs and their main acute provider Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals Trust.
The need for arbitration processes are embarassing for the system.
In November, HSJ reported the findings from arbitration between Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals Trust and NHS England, which NHS England lost. NHS England tried to keep the result secret but accidentally emailed it out.

The European Union (Referendum) Act 2016 was an Act of the Gibraltar Parliament, which implements the United Kingdom's European Union Referendum Act 2015 in Gibraltar. It was the first time a referendum has been held in Gibraltar on the issue of continued EU membership since the territory joined along with the United Kingdom in 1973 and was the first time that any British Overseas Territory had participated in a UK-wide referendum. The Act commenced on 26 January 2016, and received assent from the Governor of Gibraltar on 28 January 2016.

Origin
On 1 January 1973, Gibraltar along with the rest of the United Kingdom joined what was then known as the European Communities (EC), the main component of which was known as the European Economic Community (EEC), but all collectively known informally but commonly and generally in the United Kingdom as the Common Market which later became the European Union. Gibraltar's accession to the EC  was determined in legislation as part of the UK's membership under the European Communities Act 1972. When the territory joined it was completely isolated from the rest of the EC as neighbouring Spain did not become an EC member until 1 January 1986, some thirteen years later. Gibraltar did not participate in the 1975 UK European Communities membership referendum even though the result directly impacted on its membership and didn't participate in any European Parliamentary Elections between 1979 and 1999 but in 2002 legislation was passed by the British Parliament which allowed Gibraltar to formally take part in the 2004 European Parliament election as part of the South West European Parliament constituency in all subsequent European elections. Following the surprise election victory by the Conservatives in May 2015 it was announced that Gibraltar would fully participate in the proposed referendum on continuing EU membership and this was legislated for in the European Union Referendum Act 2015.

The referendum
The act legislated for a referendum to be held in Gibraltar on whether or not to remain a member of the European Union (EU), which was a single majority vote conducted and overseen by the Electoral Commission with the result in the territory fed into the South West England regional count area in line with European Elections under the European Parliamentary Elections Act 2002 as the overall outcome depends on how the rest of the United Kingdom votes under the terms of the European Union Referendum Act 2015 and allows for a "Counting Officer (CO)" to be appointed within the territory to oversee and officiate the local count. The referendum was held on the same day as in the rest of the United Kingdom on Thursday 23 June 2016. It also gave the UK Electoral Commission the legal power and authority to oversee the referendum within the territory.

Campaign period
The act and the European Union Referendum Act 2015 legislates that the official referendum campaign period up until polling day will be of ten weeks duration (April 15 to June 23, 2016) just as it will be within the United Kingdom with an official PPERA period where all government and public bodies in Gibraltar are unable to comment or publish information specifically in regard to the referendum for a period of four weeks duration (27 May to 23 June 2016) up until polling day. During the campaign period the two lead campaign groups in Gibraltar just as they were in the United Kingdom are Britain Stronger in Europe who are advocating a "Remain" vote and Vote Leave who are advocating a "Leave" vote.

Campaign spending
Under the act and the European Union Referendum Act 2015 all political parties in Gibraltar were limited to a maximum upper limit of £700,000.

Party policies

All the political parties and every politician within the Gibraltar Parliament supported a "remain" vote during the referendum campaign.

Referendum question

The question that appeared on ballot papers in the referendum before the electorate as set out under the act and the provisions of the European Union Referendum Act 2015 was:

with the responses to the question to be (to be marked with a single (X)):

Franchise
The right to vote in the referendum is defined by the legislation as limited to residents of Gibraltar who were also either Commonwealth citizens under the British Nationality Act 1948 (which include British citizens and most other British nationals), or were also citizens of the Republic of Ireland, or both.

Residents of Gibraltar who were citizens of other EU countries (other than the United Kingdom) were not allowed to vote unless they were citizens (or were also citizens) of the Republic of Ireland, of Malta or of the Republic of Cyprus.

The minimum age for voters in the referendum is 18 years, a figure in line with elections which are held in the UK. Polling Stations on the day of the referendum were open from 07:00 until 22:00 CEST (Thursday 23 June 2016) but counting did not begin until 23:00 CEST when polling stations close in the rest of the United Kingdom.

Eligible voters
On Tuesday 21 June 2016 the Electoral Commission announced the official number of eligible voters who are entitled to vote in the referendum on Thursday 23 June under the provisions of the act in Gibraltar following the closing date for registration on Thursday June 9, 2016, these figures include all Commonwealth and Irish citizens. The final number of eligible voters was published after 9pm on Thursday 23 June 2016 by the Electoral Commission.

The following shows both the provisional figure and the final figure in heavy bold brackets.

Result

The referendum result within Gibraltar was declared early on Friday 24 June 2016 by the counting officer and Clerk to the Gibraltar Parliament Paul Martinez at the University of Gibraltar at 00:40 CEST (23:40 BST) making it the first of the 382 voting areas to declare and its result was fed into the South West England regional count and then the overall national count. The result saw the single biggest "Remain" vote of all the 382 voting areas with only 4% of  Gibraltarian voters opting to leave on a very high turnout of 84% with large queues reported at the Polling stations.

Outcome

The United Kingdom overall voted by 51.9% to 48.1% to leave the European Union. Despite the overwhelming vote to remain in the European Union, the overseas territory of Gibraltar would leave the European Union, as it was a majority vote of the whole of the UK for "Leave".

The United Kingdom triggered Article 50 on 29 March 2017 which included Gibraltar although the territory was not specifically mentioned in the Article 50 letter that was sent to the European Union by the UK Government.

On June 24-26, Seattle University hosted the Global Street Paper Summit. This annual conference put on by the International Network of Street Papers brings together hundreds of representatives from street papers all over the world to engage in networking, discussion, and education. Street papers are publications that serve two purposes: to spread awareness about poverty-related issues as well as provide employment for people experiencing homelessness. The conference serves as a way for people engaged in this important work to meet, share, and learn from one another. This was the first time the conference has ever been held in the US. The School of Theology and Ministry welcomed participants and facilitated workshops throughout the week. The workshops covered everything from programs developed to serve Seattle's homeless population to low cost marketing strategies to utilizing social media.
It is a great honor to have you with us this week on the campus of Seattle University, for the first-ever INSP summit in the United States. I hope you are getting a chance to walk around our beautiful campus, spend a little time outside in the sun, and maybe explore the city or take a ride on a ferry. You may have heard that we get a little rain in Seattle sometimes. While that is a bit of a caricature, it doesn't always look like this in Seattle at this time of the year, and when the sun comes out like this, Seattleites emerge from their homes and buildings like moles leaving their holes, squinting at the bright light in the sky.
In case you haven't felt it, yet, you are meeting on the campus of a Jesuit university that is a kindred spirit with the visions and missions of your newspapers. Within Roman Catholicism, the Jesuit tradition has two distinctive qualities – a commitment to the intellectual life, and a dedication and passion for educating future leaders to work for peace and justice, whether the motivation of that work is from a faith-based perspective or not. From the university's engagement with poorer neighborhoods around the university through the Seattle University Youth Initiative, to our equally creative engagement with coffee growers in Nicaragua and the Jesuit university located in Managua, to the countless student internships and immersion experiences that are occurring throughout the city, the state, the nation, and many countries in the world: we are a university that tries every day to live up to our mission to focus our intellectual resources on the promotion of activities that will lead to a more just and humane world.
In the past few years we have had an exciting and dramatic university effort to respond to the realities of homelessness, especially family homelessness in the Pacific Northwest. In the true Jesuit tradition of the Italian Renaissance, which promoted the fine art of rhetoric and persuasion: we want to persuade everyone we can that it is unacceptable to have fellow humans beings living lives of quiet desperation, particularly in a city with the educational and industrial achievements and unprecedented levels of wealth as this one. As you heard this morning from Dean David Powers, our communications department in the College of Arts and Sciences has engaged the journalism profession directly on the issue of family homelessness.
My own School of Theology and Ministry began a faith and family homelessness initiative four years ago, due to the generosity of the Gates Foundation. In the past few years we've had a team of people from the school logging hundreds of hours as they have worked across the region to assist religious congregations and organizations in the deepening of their faith communities' commitment to alleviating homelessness. Our primary effort began by working intimately with 14 Jewish, Muslim and Christian congregations, assisting their more than 18,000 congregants to organize their own community efforts to reduce the number of families living in shelters or on the streets. In the process, we've also created a near educational cottage industry with a "poverty immersion workshop." After getting featured in an Op-Ed in the Seattle Times, this workshop, which allows people to have a life-like experiential encounter with the frustrations and burdens of poverty and homelessness in the United States, became our school's most popular extra-curricular activity, with hundreds participating across the region. We've had some remarkable results in this effort, and have in some ways had an opportunity to change the conversation about the potential of faith communities to move society's needle on this complicated social problem. If you are interested in this effort to "breathe" the importance of working to end family homelessness into the Seattle area's religiously plural population, you can talk to Lisa Gustaveson, the program manager for our school's efforts.
Lastly, let me applaud you for the way you are spending your life as journalists of street newspapers. As a former journalist, with a degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Journalism, I think street papers are one of the most important evolutions in news reporting. When you look at journalism as a field, most people miss that the industry is not a dispassionate organization in search of the truth. It is a business, and often a complex one, requiring a substantial cash flow that requires all kinds of compromises between corporate and journalistic values. The larger media outlets have to dance to the tune of many pipers, and this can mute, if not extinguish, the deepest nobility in the profession of the Fourth Estate. Your newspapers stand squarely in the tradition of the power of the pen to give voice to those who are not allowed a place setting at the world's table.
By nature of your missions, you stand with the populations in your cities and nations that have no discernable voice in the fast-paced, competitive and chaotic world of the third decade of the 21st century. In doing so, you breathe into you societies a truth about an issue many contemporary people do not want to explore, let alone understand, let alone change. You go beyond good journalistic ethics to pursue the truth: you live, and move and have your being in the unsavory truths of modern societies, where poverty and homeless and marginalization exist in the shadows of unprecedented human wealth and privilege. Many of you represent the best in the tradition of the Progressive Era's muckrakers, and the best of the tradition of a Charles Dickens, who gave voice and image and feeling to the lives of the poor of their era, or Rachel Carson, who convinced her generation to ban the pesticide DDT and create the Environmental Protection Agency, which made her one of the first people to capture the imagination of westerners around the issue of the environment. Carson gave voice and image and feeling to nature, to our Mother Earth. You, too, are giving voice and image and feeling to the lives of the poor and homeless.
Keep up the good work. We are delighted to have you here and I hope and pray you find new ways to collaborate with each other on your "inspir-ed" mission and vocation.

What is a Strafe Drive and why would I want one?
A strafe drive enables you to travel sideways at high speeds. It makes it impossible for friend or foe to calculate where you are going, thus making it virtual impossible to hit you when you are in combat. It can also be used to get out of the way of other ships to avoid collisions.


Need a cheap quick laptop stand. Or on the go and do not want to carry a heavy laptop stand around. This is a stand that can be made in a few minutes. Have fun..
First do all the steps with the light easy to bend coat hanger and then use it for measurements on the heavy coat hanger to make the final unit.
Cut off head or hanger part of hanger.
Measure ab 2/3 the width of the laptop and bend each side up to look like an open rectangle.
Measure up the tines about 1/2 to 3/4 inch and bend to a 90 degree angle.
At the end of the tines, measure back 2 inches. and bend tines in the opposite direction as original bend. Do one end at a time so you can make both ends look alike. Half way up the time, bend it back against itself.
See if it works. .
Now take the heavy coat hanger and mimic the light coat hanger.
Test with laptop and make adjustments.
Take measurements again and save the data in a file on the laptop.
Now you have a laptop stand that can be made easily anywhere. The light coat hanger can be easily folded and put in a brief case if you prefer to use it instead.
Step 7: Alternative Quicky Stand.
Four bends and your done. it almost looks Star Trekish also.
This is awesome. Cheap and easy to do. Thank you.
What an incredibly simple but good idea.

Spotlight: Chloë Grace Moretz
Analysis, Features, Spotlight
Though she's been acting for nearly a decade, and doing it very well, Chloë Grace Moretz has always felt like an actor dancing around the edges of stardom. She's consistently proven herself to be a formidable talent even at a young age, but has often been paired with projects that simply fail to make the most of her.
Hopefully, that's all about to change. This month Moretz takes the lead role in The 5th Wave, the adaptation of the first in a series of young adult novels hoping to fill the sizeable gap in the market left when The Hunger Games finally ended in 2015. Before we look ahead, however, let's examine how Moretz came to the cusp of making it truly big.
Courtesy of: 20th Century Fox
Moretz first came to prominence at the age of eight, starring in the lacklustre 2005 remake of The Amityville Horror. Though it led to more work, the films she was offered sadly didn't get much better. She had bit parts in a slew of not particularly scary movies like Wicked Little Things, Room 6, Hallowed Ground and The Eye. She also appeared in Big Momma's House 2, which isn't a horror but was undoubtedly just as traumatising to work on. While her roles on the big screen weren't much to cry about, Moretz also found steady television work, including voice work for Disney's The Emperor's New School and as amateur detective Darby in the kids' TV show My Friends Tigger & Pooh: a role that she would reprise for two separate direct-to-video films.
Eventually, Moretz's patience paid off. Her role as Tom Hansen's half-sister Rachel in 500 Days of Summer was very much a supporting one, but she shone thanks to a dry wit that made her seem wise beyond her years – something that would prove to be one of her defining traits as an actor. And then, in 2010, Matthew Vaughn gave her a purple wig and a samurai sword and set her loose on an unsuspecting audience in his adaptation of Mark Millar's Kick-Ass.
Courtesy of: Universal Pictures
Hit-Girl is one of the most fascinating superheroes in any medium – a pint-sized, foul-mouthed ultraviolent hurricane. Watching her slice and shoot her way through a corridor of bad guys to the tune of Joan Jett's 'Bad Reputation' is a standout moment in the ever-growing genre of superhero films, the kind of glorious scene that makes you feel guilty for giggling like a madman. And yet the sad reality is that Mindy McCready is a broken little girl – her father (a note-perfect Nicolas Cage) may dress up as a Batman knock-off called Big Daddy, but that doesn't change the fact that his sidekick is effectively a child soldier.
A sequel to Kick-Ass was all but inevitable, and while the film wasn't any more mature than its predecessor, Moretz certainly was. While there was more ultraviolence (and plenty more four-letter words) to enjoy in Kick-Ass 2, the real joy was in seeing Mindy completely out of her element in the confusing world of high-school cliques and balancing 'normal' life with the temptation to dust off her cape. We can only imagine how many bullied teens were inspired by her use of a 'sick stick' to put the mean girls in their place.
Speaking of horrible high-schoolers and buckets of blood, Moretz has also found herself in two more remade horror films. In 2010 she starred in Let Me In, the English-language update of Swedish vampire flick Let the Right One In, while in 2013 she took the title role in Kimberly Peirce's update of Carrie. Neither film was particularly good – they were both wholly unnecessary remakes – but that didn't stop Moretz from giving it her all.
2016 looks to be an interesting year for Moretz as she enters adulthood. She's set to star in Brain on Fire, a drama based on journalist Susannah Cahalan's experiences with a rare autoimmune disease; and her role in the sequel to Bad Neighbours looks to carry on her penchant for mature comedy. But before all that, she has a YA franchise to star in.
Adaptations are not new ground for Chloë Grace Moretz. She's already appeared in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and her turn in Martin Scorsese's wonderful Hugo is one of her best performances to date. But she's never been given a proper starring role before; and after The Hunger Games came to an end we could use a great new female character to lead a franchise.
Even if The 5th Wave ultimately goes nowhere, it's a chance for Moretz to show her talent to an even wider audience, and it might be the springboard from which she lands some really great roles.
After all, the last actress who headed a multi-million dollar YA franchise ended up winning an Oscar.

Guest post: Pocket Lists sales: $29K in 15 months
Posted on March 5, 2013 by Guest Author
A year ago I exposed Pocket Lists iPhone app sales figures ($13500 in first 3 months). For today, the overall Pocket Lists sales exceeded $29000.
Pocket Lists sales
Today, the app (productivity category) brings $2K/month in profit, or $65/day. The app total download counter recently hit 500K, though most of downloads are free downloads obtained during time-limited free giveaways.
29K is about three times less than was invested into the app so far.
Getting paid $13.5K after being featured on the App Store after the launch (see dedicated post on this) put our faith into the app future and motivated to continue working on the app. We introduced Pocket Lists Cloud syncing service and localized the app into 10 more languages. Unluckily, none of these pretty tedious improvements impacted sales.
What did really impact sales so far were either the app to be featured by Apple on the App Store, or to be reviewed on iOS dedicated website or blog — see all those spikes on the sales graph above.
Most sales came from US and Russian App Stores, in which the app was featured. After we localized the app into other languages, we were in a hope to get the app featured internationally, but that did not happen.
The golden price
Due to the lack of free funds and external app promotion opportunities, we were experimenting with the app price and free giveaways (see app's price change history on appshopper.com). Varying the app price from $0.99 to $3.99 did not significantly impact daily sales. Raising the app price lowers App Store top chart rankings and vice versa, but the overall sales volume remains at approximately the same level.
Find your app's golden price according to the volume of external traffic coming to your app's App Store page from the outside world, e.g. search engines and linking sites. For Pocket Lists, I found today's golden price to be $1.99 (the base price is set to $3.99, which I feel like the best price for the app).
Free giveaways definitely drives attention to the app, but I don't think that free giveaways practice should be taken seriously. (I think I will be writing more on this in a dedicated post later.)
On December 6, 2012 we released iPad version of the app. I was deciding either to release it as a separate app, or make the app universal. Ultimately, I decided to make Pocket Lists universal, because it was easier to deliver and maintain. I believe that it was the right choice for Pocket Lists.
You should consider making separate apps only if you are going to sell lots of upgrades to your existing users, or if your have a lot of people coming to buy your app from external sources rather than people from the App Store top charts.
The app average daily sales increased approximately 1.5x times after the app became universal.
iPad version release was in time for the start of iPad mini, and the app was lucky to get featured by Apple in "Makin' a List" promo list in US and Canadian App Stores. That did not bring as much in sales as a year ago (when the app was in "New & Noteworthy" and "What's Hot"), but still that featuring is recognizable on the overall sales graph.
Sales in the US App Store after universal version was released:
Three important things to share with developers
Of course, your app must be great, robust, non-buggy, etc, but still App Store today's products are more about being fancy and freak rather than good and useful. Your app should look cool and fancy on an iOS device, it should promote iOS device advantages and capabilities — this is the key to be featured. You need to understand that Apple's goal with the App Store is not making money on apps or getting users to satisfy by finding their perfect apps, but to promote the entire iOS platform and to drive people to buy newer iOS device models. That's why attention is driven to all those cool new features and unusual tweaks you can do with a device. Sites and blogs that publish iOS related stuff follow much the same way.To me it reminds how a decade ago the world was buzzing about Flash-powered websites.
Be quick to implement and integrate features delivered by Apple in latest iOS versions. We were lucky to get featured by Apple when we introduced location-based notifications (shortly after it appeared in iOS 5), and then when an iPad version was introduced (in time for the iPad mini release and Christmas season), but not when we released features highly requested by our users, e.g. cloud syncing and localizations into multiple languages. It's really more likely to catch editors' attention if you follow promote latest Apple stuff.
Don't give up and keep working!
Pocket Lists is the all-in-one universal to-do list app for iOS. For February 2013, the app's syncing infrastructure — Pocket Lists Cloud — serves 17 000 users working with over 48 000 to-do lists and 1 600 000 to-dos. The Pocket Lists app is available on the App Store.

Thanks Vladimir for sharing your experience! It's inspiring to hear about your success, price experiments and what didn't work so well. It's posts like this that help us all get better!


I wonder if anyone else experiences this. A new database becomes available. You're happy, but remain skeptical. How many times before have you tried to research and a new database has let you down? Your area isn't included or the year stops one before the year you need.
You do the first search, a general surname search. There they are! Your grandparents. You start to feel a little more hopeful. You pick another odd surname from your tree and you find cousins. Now, you're bubbling with enthusiasm because even though the collection isn't complete you realized it has the county you need.
You're there for 2-3 hours. Who counts the time? You've found a good 20 different useful records on a variety of people. It feels good to find something.
That's what happened to me last night. I learned that California Marriages from 1850-1941 were added to ancestry.com. I wasn't expecting much until I learned that one of the two counties uploaded is Alameda County. That's the one I need! From there I was in a genealogy feeding frenzy, finding records in a disorganized fashion, and loving it. It's so rare that anything from California or Hawaii gets added that I got a little carried away.
Today, I will go back. I will work from a list and drill down in an orderly fashion. I will act like a respectable genealogist and do things correctly. Oh, but, it sure was fun last night! I learned several things in a short amount of time. I even uncovered a secret.
Now I'll get down to serious business.


The petroleum supplier was founded by his grandfather, Cliff Newton, in 1976 in Lafayette, Indiana, and is currently owned by Cyle's father, Chuck Newton, and his uncle, Jim Newton. Over the years, the company has expanded the services it provides to farming, transportation, manufacturing, services, grain operations and racing fuel, supplying customers across the Midwest and beyond.
Although Cyle worked for the family business during summers while he was growing up, the father of five and US Marine Corps veteran first earned his chops in the energy industry with supervisory and technical roles at Vestas American Wind Technology and BP Alternative Energy.
After contacting Don Roush, associate director of Purdue's Weekend MBA program, Newton says the decision was easy.
Currently located on a 10-acre site off Veterans Memorial Parkway near U.S. 52, Newton Oil is seeking to build partnerships with similar and smaller-sized companies who don't have second- or third-generation succession plans.


Miami is full of waterways and drawbridges. Almost every driver here has sometimes been caught waiting for a drawbridge while a boat passes. But sometimes a drawbridge raises while conditions are unsafe on there. A grandmother has died after she fell 30-40 feet off a drawbridge that was raising.
The family is demanding to know why the bridge tender made the drawbridge raise while their loved one was out walking on the bridge. Bridge tenders are trained to look out for pedestrians and vehicles before raising a drawbridge.
The Florida Department of Transportation said that the bridge tender working the bridge that day had been on the job for a year and worked for a subcontractor. The worker has been suspended pending a full investigation. It is unclear how the accident happened since the warning lights and arms were working at the time of the incident.
It is quite likely that FDOT, the subcontractor, or their employer could find themselves facing a lawsuit due to this tragedy. After any tragic accident, a personal injury lawyer should be consulted to see if anyone is due proper compensation and to evaluate any settlements from insurance companies.
If you've been injured in the city of Miami, contact our personal injury attorneys for a free consultation. We've helped many people get what they need after an accident.

The host Flames won nine events at the Liberty Twilight Qualifier, Wednesday at the Matthes-Hopkins Track Complex. Three of Liberty's individual event titles went to seniors during the team's final home meet of the 2017 outdoor season.
Aklesso Agama (men's long jump), Luke Jelen (men's 800) and Audrey Rabe (women's pole vault) were Liberty's senior champions. They were recognized along with Ryan Davis, Zach Davis, Zach Gilroy, Spencer Jamison, Blake Kohring, Stephen Racanelli, Nicole Bishop, Kat Bouton, Lindsey Bray, Kaitlyn Hutchins, Janae Jones, Dana Mercer, Catherine Oyarzun, Jessie Proehl, Hannah Scherlacher, Mary Witmer and Terrill Zentmeyer during the meet's Senior Night recognition.
Anna Van Wyk (women's 1,500), Carson Waters (men's pole vault) and Erin Zappia (women's high jump) were also victorious in their final tuneup for next week's Big South Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Zappia produced arguably the home team's top performance of the day, high jumping a personal-best 5-8.75 to punch her ticket to the NCAA Division I East Preliminary Round meet.
The Flames won a trio of relays on Wednesday, including the men's 4 x 100 (Ryan Davis, Brad Smalley, Greg Edwards, Jahquez Durham), men's shuttle hurdles (Ryan Davis, Markus Ballengee, Samson Moore, Jovaine Atkinson) and women's 4 x 400 (Scherlacher, Brooke Turner, Elizabeth Hutton, Maggie McDermott).
The warm, sunny weather contributed to numerous impressive performances on the day, headlined by Muhammad Halim's facility record 53-11 mark in the men's triple jump. The Olympian from the U.S. Virgin Islands now ranks No. 28 in the world for 2017.
Women's Meet Recap
Zappia made clutch third-attempt clearances at both 5-8 (equaling her previous personal best) and 5-8.75 to win the women's high jump title and take over the Big South lead for 2017. The junior from Illinois moved into a tie for third place in program history and a share of fifth place in Big South Conference annals.
@libertytrackandfield Jr. @ezappi with a new #PersonalBest in the #HighJump with a clearance over 1.75 (5'8 3/4) to win the @libertyuniversity #Twilight! That mark put Erin tied for 23rd in the #NCAAD1 #EastRegion
A post shared by Shawn Venable (@shawn_venable) on May 3, 2017 at 6:52pm PDT
Rabe, who is graduating after just three years on campus, cleared 12-0 for the first time in her collegiate career on Wednesday. That effort won the event and put her into a tie for sixth place on Liberty's all-time list. Mariel Finger followed in the runner-up spot at 11-6.25, while Lea Carter tied for third with an 11-0.25 clearance.
Van Wyk's 1,500 victory highlighted the Lady Flames' impressive day in the middle-distance events. Van Wyk clocked a personal-best time of 4:28.47 to defeat the reigning Big South 1,500 (High Point's Cozette Collin) and steeplechase (Natalia Ocasio) champions.
Three other Lady Flames followed Van Wyk in the top 10, and all three of them achieved new personal-best times. They included Alyssa Karle (fifth, 4:41.91), Zentmeyer (4:42.88) and Bouton (4:50.52).
Liberty added three top-10 finishes in the 800, led by Turner in fifth place at 2:13.78. Scherlacher's season-best time of 2:15.20 was good for sixth place, while Bouton ran a personal-best 2:18.00 for the 10th spot.
Scherlacher, Turner, Hutton and McDermott were the only 4 x 400 team to compete in either the men's or women's races on the day. Their official time was 4:06.86.
Earlier in the day, McDermott had placed third in the 400 at 59.14 seconds, while Mercer's outdoor personal-best 200 time of 25.01 earned the fifth spot in that event.
Holly Arey took fourth place in the women's discus with a 148-1 heave. Meanwhile, teammate Oyarzun threw the hammer 170-3 for fifth place.
Jaiden Mulder (14.84) and Kylie Polsgrove (14.99) placed sixth and seventh, respectively, in the women's 100 hurdles final. They both ran significantly faster during the prelims, when the wind conditions were more favorable, as Mulder posted a season-best 14.59 while Polsgrove ran 14.60.
Men's Meet Recap
Agama's final home meet was a memorable one. Due to injury, the senior had long jumped just once in 2017 prior to Wednesday. However, he produced an impressive mark of 23-8.25 into a headwind, defeating Big South leader Quemell Brave of Winthrop for the victory. Freshman teammate Andre Wright added a seventh-place showing at 22-2.5.
Jelen posted a personal-best 800 time of 1:54.08 to win the final home race of his career. Andrew Crowell's first outdoor 800 of the year resulted in a time of 1:54.84 for fifth place.
The quartet of Davis, Ballengee, Moore and Atkinson was aiming for a school record in the shuttle hurdles relay. However, they had to settle for a victory and the No. 2 time in program history, 58.98 seconds.
Liberty used the 4 x 100 grouping of Davis, Smalley, Edwards and Durham for the first time this season, and the combination produced a victory in 41.39 seconds.
Waters sailed up and over a season-best 16-10.25 to win the pole vault by 16 inches. Gilroy was the Flames' second-best vaulter on Wednesday, clearing a season-high 14-6.75 for fourth.
Racanelli ran an impressive 400 time of 48.85 out of lane one, while Kohring completed the 400 hurdles in a season-best 55.09. Both seniors' performances produced eighth-place finishes.
The remainder of Liberty's noteworthy performances were achieved by freshmen, portending a bright future for the Flames. Big South indoor 400-meter champion Durham ran a season-best 400 time of 47.99 for fifth place in the race and first place in the Big South for 2017.
Benjamin Klemmeck was the men's 5K runner-up in a personal-best time of 15:15.67, while classmate Michael Griffith placed 14th of 55 1,500 runners with his personal-best 3:58.49 effort. Both rookies made significant progress this season, as Klemmeck opened his year with a 16:02.44 5K, while Griffith's collegiate 1,500 debut was a 4:08.55 clocking.
Jacob Burke high jumped 6-2.25 for fifth place, with two of his classmates sharpening up for next week's Big South decathlon competition.
Ballengee paced the Flames in both the discus (11th, personal-best 130-0) and javelin (eighth, 143-9) on the day. Chukwuma Maduka made it into the men's 110 hurdles final by clocking a personal-best time of 15.87 into a headwind.
Finally, Colin Schultz continued his outstanding redshirt season. Competing unattached, he dropped his 1,500 personal best to 3:46.28, finishing as the runner-up and missing the facility record by less than two-tenths of a second.
Liberty will attempt to defend its men's and women's team titles at the 2017 Big South Outdoor Track & Field Championships. The meet will be contested May 10-12 at Bagwell-Settle Track in Charleston, S.C.

Q: Controlling output placement knitr + pandoc I'm sure this has been answered before but to all my Googling abilities I can't find it.
I want to display a number of tables in a document, with a header and/or sub header in between.
Section 1
--------------------------------------------------------

```{r , results='asis', message=FALSE, echo=FALSE}
print(xtable(summary(lm(rnorm(10)~runif(10))), caption="Table 1"),
      caption.placement =  "top",  table.placement = "H!",
      include.rownames=FALSE, type="latex", comment=FALSE)
```
Section 2
--------------------------------------------------------
```{r , results='asis', message=FALSE, echo=FALSE}
print(xtable(summary(lm(rnorm(10)~runif(10))), caption="Table 2"),
    caption.placement = "top",  table.placement = "H!",
    include.rownames=FALSE, type="latex", comment=FALSE)

```
I am finding that after knitting this *Rnw the placement is fine, but once I pandoc() it
knit('C:/Users/Robin/Desktop/test.rmd', 'C:/Users/Robin/Desktop/test.md')
pandoc('C:/Users/Robin/Desktop/test.md', format='latex')

to produce a PDF all the images have been shoved to the bottom of the page, after both section headers. Can someone point me to an option that works, because H! in the latex code doesn't seem to be working

A: Mb table placement should be: table.placement = [h!] ?

Q: $Resource error - when using $save.success callback but data is saving OK I'm trying to use a resource to save some data, and am getting something strange happen:
here is the code:
var appointment = new Appointment(formData);
                    console.log(appointment);
                    appointment.$save().success(function (data, status, headers, config){
                         console.log(data);
                         $state.transitionTo('form.success');
                });

now the wierd thing is that the data is saving so the $save function is working, but I'm getting undefined is not a function errors, and the success callback isnt working - does anyone know why?
The resource for the Appointments is:
angular.module('MyApp')
.factory('Appointment', function($resource){
    return $resource('/api/admin/:id', { id: "@_id" }, {
         query: {method:'GET', isArray:true}
    });

})

and I'm using this and its inherent $save function, so it shouldn't be a problem - also it seems to be the callback thats not working - the save is adding data no problem
SOLUTION:
I simplified it by just doing:
appointment.$save(function(data){
//stuff here for the callback works
});

also I think that using the promise method .then would work, but I didn't try it.
I marked it as accepted anyway for good karma!
Thanks

A: The success function is specific to the $http service:

The $http service is a function which takes a single argument — a configuration object — that is used to generate an HTTP request and returns a promise with two $http specific methods: success and error.

The $save method returns a regular promise, so you can use then instead:
appointment.$save().then(function (data, status, headers, config){
                     console.log(data);
                     $state.transitionTo('form.success');
            });


Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory disease that causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function in the joints. It has several special features that make it different from other kinds of arthritis.
For example, rheumatoid arthritis generally occurs in a symmetrical pattern, meaning that if one knee or hand is involved, the other one also is. The disease often affects the wrist joints and the finger joints closest to the hand. It can also affect other parts of the body besides the joints. In addition, people with rheumatoid arthritis may have fatigue, occasional fevers, and a general sense of not feeling well.
Like many other rheumatic diseases, rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease ( auto means self), so-called because a person's immune system, which normally helps protect the body from infection and disease, attacks joint tissues for unknown reasons. White blood cells, the agents of the immune system, travel to the synovium and cause inflammation (synovitis), characterized by warmth, redness, swelling, and pain--typical symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. During the inflammation process, the normally thin synovium becomes thick and makes the joint swollen and puffy to the touch.


Frae upper left: Naitional Congress o Brazil, Juscelino Kubitschek brig, Monumental Axis, Palácio da Alvorada an Cathedral o Brasília.
Brasília (Portuguese pronunciation: [bɾaˈziliɐ]) is the caipital o Brazil. The name is commonly spelled Brasilia in Inglis. The ceety an its Destrict are locatit in the Central-Wast region o the kintra, alang a plateau kent as Planalto Central. It haes a population o aboot 2,557,000 (3,599,000 in the metropolitan aurie) as o the 2008 IBGE estimate, makin it the fowert lairgest ceety in Brazil. Housomeivver, as a metropolitan aurie, it ranks lawer at saxt. It is leetit as a Warld Heritage Steid bi UNESCO. Brasília hosts 119 foreign embassies.
As the naitional caipital, Brasília is the seat o aw three branches o the Brazilian govrenment. The ceety an aa hosts the heidquarters o mony Brazilian companies sic as the Banco do Brasil, Caixa Econômica Federal, Correios an Brasil Telecom. The ceety is a warld reference for urban plannin. Plannin policies sic as the locatin o residential biggins aroond expansive urban auries, as well as biggin the ceety aroond lairge avenues an dividin it intae sectors, hae sparked a debate an reflection on life in big ceeties in the 20t century. The ceety's planned design includit specific auries for amaist awthing, includin accommodation, Hotel Sectors North an Sooth. New auries are nou bein developed for hotels, sic as the Hotels an Tourism Sector North, on the shore o Lake Paranoá.
The ceety wis planned an developed in 1956 wi Lúcio Costa as the principal urban planner an Oscar Niemeyer as the principal architect. On Aprile 22, 1960, it formally became Brazil's naitional caipital. Viewed frae abuin, the main portion o the ceety resembles an airplane or a butterflee. The ceety is commonly referred tae as Caipital Federal, or simply BSB. Residents o Brasília are kent as brasilienses or candangos (the latter referrin tae those no born in the ceety, but migratit thare when the ceety wis establisht).
Brasília haes a sui generis status in Brazil, as it is no a municipality lik nearly aw ceeties in Brazil. Awtho thare is nae legal definition for Brasília, the term is amaist aaways uised synonymously wi the Brazilian Federal Destrict, an sicweys constitutes an indivisible Federative Unit, analogous tae a state. In the region, housomeivver, the wird Brasília aften refers anerlie tae the First Administrative Region athin the Distrito Federal (Federal Destrict), " whaur the maist important government biggins are locatit. This is in contrast wi the surroondin "satellite ceeties," which nivertheless are an aa pairt o the Federal Destrict, an as sic, Brasília, in a broader sense.
Brasília Internaitional Airport is a major airline hub for the rest o the kintra, connectin the caipital tae aw major Brazilian ceeties an mony internaitional destinations. It is the third maist important airport o Brazil, in terms o passengers an aircraft movements.
Brasília unner construction in 1959.
Preses Juscelino Kubitschek ordered the construction o Brasília, fulfillin an airticle o the kintra's constitution datin back tae 1891 statin that the caipital shoud be moved frae Rio de Janeiro tae a place close tae the centre o the kintra. The plan wis oreeginally conceived in 1827 bi José Bonifácio, an advisor tae Emperor Dom Pedro I. He presentit a plan tae the General Assembly for a new ceety cried Brasilia, wi the idea o movin the caipital wastward frae the hivily populatit sootheastren corridor. The bill wis no enactit acause Emperor Dom Pedro I dissolved the Assembly.
Lúcio Costa wan a contest an wis the main urban planner in 1957, wi 5550 fowk competin. Oscar Niemeyer, a close friend, wis the chief airchitect o maist public biggins an Roberto Burle Marx wis the landscape designer. Brasília wis biggit in 41 months, frae 1956 tae 21 Aprile 1960, when it wis offeecially inauguratit. Frae 1763 tae 1960, Rio de Janeiro wis the caipital o Brazil. At this time, resoorces tendit tae be centred in Brazil's sootheast region near Rio de Janeiro. Brasília's geographically central location fostered a mair regionally neutral federal caipital. The idea o locatin the caipital in the centre o Brazil wis first suggestit in 1891, but no defined till 1922.
Frae the beginnin, the growthe o Brasília exceedit expectations. Till the 1980s, the govrenor o the Distrito Federal wis appointit bi the Federal Govrenment, an the laws o Brasília wur issued bi the Brazilian Federal Senate. Wi the Constitution o 1988 Brasília gained the richt tae elect its Govrenor, an a Destrict Assembly (Câmara Legislativa) wis electit tae exercise legislative pouer.
Accordin tae legend, Italian saunt Don Bosco in 1883 haed a dream in which he describit a futuristic ceety that roughly fittit Brasília's location. In Brasília the day, thare are mony references tae this educator who foondit the Salesian order, an ane kirk in the ceety bears his name.

Photo Update: Universal's Harry Potter roller coaster receives first theming elements
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is the largest success Universal's Islands of Adventure has had since the park first opened. Now, this mystical world is being expanded in a big way with the addition of a brand new, highly-themed roller coaster. This photo report, with shots provided by our contributor, @bioreconstruct on Twitter, oversees the current construction going on at the Wizarding World.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is so big that it spans two parks at the Universal Orlando Resort! On the right is Universal's Islands of Adventure, on the left, Universal Studios. These two parks are connected with the Hogwarts Express, a park-to-park train that allows guests to magically be transported from Diagon Alley to Hogsmeade, and vice versa.
Over in Hogsmeade, construction on this new highly-themed roller is well underway. Rumors suggest that it will open late fall of next year, around the same time as Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The main area of focus is the new stone facade being put up in the center of the construction.
It now seems highly likely that this building will be fully enclosed, minus the entry and exit points of the coaster itself. Based off its current architecture, there has not been a definitively agreed-upon guess as to what this structure may be. If you think you may know what this structure is resembling from the Harry Potter films, please respond below in the comments.
Photo by Matt Roseboom
The facade looks just as good from inside the park as it does from the sky. Whatever this building may be, it is our first clue into the level of theming we can expect from this upcoming attraction.
This look, from inside the park, is one of the only areas still visible to guests. Along with the secrecies of this coaster, Universal is doing a very good job hiding the construction from day guests. Thankfully we know a Bioreconstruct to get us in-the-air photos. Part of the track is covered here to protect it from possible falling debris from the construction above.
Elsewhere in the construction, we can see the attraction's entrance. Not much has changed since the closing of Dragon Challenge. The facade itself seems in a rough shape, but surely we will see a new or updated exterior after more of the major coaster track construction is complete.
Our first two smaller arrows point towards workers focused on the main building expansion. On the right side, you can see the recently constructed maintenance building. This huge structure was put up fairly quickly. Best guesses would say that this will be finished first and will house the ride vehicles prior to track testing.
This angle shows a different look at the building expansion. Arrows are all pointing to relatively new areas of construction for the building's expansion. The final turn, bottom arrow, will send ride vehicles into the maintenance building or the main load and unload area.
The arrow in the top right is pointing to a structure that has been of high interest since the coaster construction first began. It is rumored to house a large animatronic. Since this coaster's theme was originally rumored to be about the Forbidden Forest, some referred to this round structure as Hagrid's Hut. You can see the current version of Hagrid's Hut at the arrow on the bottom left.
This closer image of the round structure shows that new walls are going up. Because of the close proximity to the Hogwarts Express exit and entrance, it is presumed this building will be highly themed. The two large rectangles in the center are most likely the "feet" of the animatronic(s). This could allow for a quick indoor scene that could set up the launch track afterward.
The two arrows here point to the dead end and elevation-change track areas. The bottom arrow points to the dead end. Other than minor concrete construction around the base, we see very little construction going on here. This could mean one of two things. Either this section of the track will be entirely outdoors, or construction has not yet caught up to build a properly covered roof for the first half of the track leading up to the dead end. It is highly unlikely that the dead-end section of the track would be covered entirely.
Looking at the elevator/drop track building we can see a complex amount of steelwork going on inside the building. The arrow points to the newest section of concrete construction. This may be extending the building out a little built, or could simply be a wall on one side of the track for a quick fly-by of theming.
The arrow at the bottom left points to small areas of new construction. With no track in the area, nor visibility from a guest area, this minor construction will probably just be technical or backstage construction and will not be part of the storyline of the attraction.
We still have a while before we can enjoy this next journey into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. But, until then, keep an eye out for more articles like this! Please note, everything stated so far is theory and guesses. Until officially announced by the Universal Orlando Resort, nothing is official.

Timster1018 says
The building could be Clock Tower entrance where you're going through the doors instead of the clock itself
Tharin White says
Ahh, very true. Now we must eagerly await for Universal to reveal something, or wait for more progress on the construction. Either way, it's lookjng magical!
Honestly, the more I look at it, the less it looks like the Forbidden Forest. With all the surrounding structures in place, and with the buttress work on that façade, that building looks more like it's part of the castle itself. Heck, I'm starting to think this whole ride's centered on an area of the castle grounds that just isn't visible from Hogsmeade. I mean it could still come out to the entrance of the Forbidden forest, but the visible parts of the track are sandwiched between all these show buildings, and the ride itself seems to swing pretty close to a lot of the existing facades. Short of them littering the area with about a thousand trees, it might be time to re-evaluate some of the standing rumors/theories.
I agree with you that the idea of the forbidden forest is getting less and less plausible. I also love the idea of it possibly being in part of the castle's courtyard! Now we wait for Universal, or until another piece of the puzzle arrives.
Joe Morris says
It could be the bank from Fantastic Beast…could be a creature themed ride….thats my thoughts.
Thanks for the guess. I had figured the more construction we saw the easier it would be. But, it's anyone's guess right now..
Crystal palace in London, U.K.
Eric P says
Cory Moore says
Yeah my best guess is the bank from Fantastic Beasts. Was the first thing I thought of when I saw it. Would be sick.
Rik says
It looks a bit like the Great Hall from the outside? But Hogwarts is up on the hill…
Wow. I cannot believe that others think it looks like the bank from Fantastic Beasts. It was my very first thought as well, but I thought others would think I was crazy if I suggested that. Got to be one of my favorite all time movies ever, so this concept would be AMAZING! And there are plenty of possible creatures that could feasibly go in that supposed animatronic structure. Bring it!
JonF says
It's almost certainly the giant window from the great hall in Hogwarts: http://www.notyourmotherscookbook.com/images/greathall-candles-film.jpg – while it's not located at the Hogwarts castle in the park, the theming of the ride may be intended to give the illusion that riders are in the castle – at least for a bit – until "crashing" through the window, out into the grounds of the castle (and potentially through a bit of the Forbidden Forest). The inclusion of what appears to be Hagrid's Hut would support that.
Room of Requirement exit out to the grounds. Whomping Willow animatronic.
Norman Sumner says
I think they will expand the structure of Hogwarts and that what we see is an exterior shot of the windows you see behind the teachers table.
Kelly M says
I think if it isn't the forbidden forest, it's a coaster through the great hall; maybe Fred and George's ride through the school when they show up Umbridge? Or Quidditch ride gone while. I think it'll have something to do with riding a broom. Fantastic Beasts doesn't make sense in Hogsmeade at all, sadly. Kind of wish they could extend the wizarding world to the New York section. That's where the bank ride idea would be perfect. PLUS add a Kawalski's Bakery?
I would say its the great hall and it looms at least to me its where snape escapse the great in the deathly hollows and would it be cool if where aboard rons car for the jour ey because its in the forbidin forest and its an item that has not been seen the past 5 years also it makes snes there using elements from all of the books like they did for forbidden journey where its a collection of events not just one event
The whole thing reminds me of when Harry took on the dragon in Goblet of Fire; I think the ride is that little adventure.

Failure to Launch Syndrome
Call it failure to launch or Peter Pan syndrome, it's the phenomenon of adult children not making the transition to adulthood. The Savvy Psychologist explores why Peter Pans stay on the launchpad
By Savvy Psychologist Ellen Hendriksen on May 18, 2019
Credit: Kathleen Finlay Getty Images
Failure to launch: it may be a 2006 Matthew McConaughey movie given one star by Roger Ebert, but more often, it's the growing phenomenon of young adults not making the transition to adulthood.
In most Western countries, young adults are expected to leave the nest. And while they may need a finite amount of time to launch themselves, ultimately, the goal or everyone involved is to see the young adult fly on their own.
But when young adults stay at home, don't search for a job or contribute financially, and begin to withdraw from the world, we have the foundation of failure to launch. Add unrealistic goals, blaming others for their situation, and a lack of motivation to change, and liftoff is almost sure to be grounded.
In the U.S., failure to launch is also known as Peter Pan syndrome, after the famous story of the boy who never grows up. In Japan, a more extreme but related condition is called hikikomori. Described as modern hermits, hikikomori generally withdraw from society before they hit their late twenties, and can remain in the bedroom equivalent of a remote mountaintop cave for years, if not decades.
No matter the culture or the label, failure to launch cases are mostly, but not all, young men. Numbers indicate the problem is increasing. Indeed, in 2014, over seven million American men ages 25-54 were neither working nor looking for work, up 25% from 10 years prior. And while the stereotype of a basement-dwelling man-child evokes labels of "loser," "dropout," or other unflattering descriptors, the phenomenon is more complicated than simplistic labels might indicate.
Why is this happening? Ask a dozen experts, and you'll get a dozen answers: the economy, the number and kind of jobs available, an unwillingness to take on education debt that can't be paid off by lower-level jobs, the decline of rites of passage to adulthood, or the falling frequency of marriage.
All these things may be keeping young adults at home, but the defining feature of failure to launch is foot dragging, delaying, stalling, or flat-out refusal to participate in life. While some young adults living at home are trying mightily to contribute financially or move out, Peter Pans have little intention of doing so.

Tufts seeks revenge against fourth-ranked Wesleyan
Julia Atkins

The Tufts men's lacrosse team will face off against Wesleyan at Bello Field on Saturday for the teams' first matchup of the 2018 season. Last year, the team from Middletown, Conn. defeated the Jumbos three times. With Tufts (8–0) currently ranked third in Div. III and Wesleyan (8–1) right behind them at No. 4, the game is bound to be neck-and-neck. The Jumbos have amassed 137 goals this season, averaging more than 17 per game, while the Cardinals (113 goals) are averaging over 13 per game.
In their 2017 season, Tufts got off to a promising start with a 11–0 record. The team then dropped four close games to conference opponents to close out its regular season schedule with a 6–4 NESCAC record. In the Jumbos' contest against the Cardinals on April 22, they were edged 17–16.
Tufts' second clash with Wesleyan came in the semifinals of the NESCAC tournament, where the team lost 17–12. Then, in the Jumbos' third and final matchup of the 2017 season, the Cardinals took a 17–8 victory in the third round of the NCAA tournament ending the Jumbos' season. Tufts finished with a 13–6 overall record after losing six of its last eight games — including three to their rivals from central Connecticut.
The Jumbos have been preparing for their chance at revenge all year and are very excited to finally take on the Cardinals.
"We feel really confident going into this game," senior midfielder and co-captain Cam Irwin said. "I honestly didn't know what they were ranked. We don't look at rankings often because what matters is how we play our game. Our offense and defense always come out strong and play to the best of their ability. We're just excited to get out there and play them. We've been waiting 12 months for this game, and finally it's here."
Tufts and Wesleyan have been on fire this season, with both in the midst of multi-game winning streaks. On Wednesday night, Wesleyan barely defeated No. 7 Amherst, 12–11, taking home Little Three honors for the second straight season. The same night, Tufts won 11–8 at Williams, marking its eighth consecutive win to start the season.
The Jumbos have been working very hard to get to where they are now in their season and feel prepared to take on a competitor of the Cardinals' caliber.
"I think we spent a long time over the summer reflecting on how the Wesleyan games ended up and how we, individually and as a team, played in those games," Irwin said. "I think we are more prepared mentally for this game than we were for our three matchups last year."
The Jumbos will seek to flip the script and avenge last year's losses to the Cardinals on Saturday at 1 p.m.

What are the rationales for criminalising conduct?
© University of York
The rationales which Aibhe worked through in the last video can help us to understand more fully whether we think we should criminalise behaviour. You'll have noted from what Ailbhe was saying that none of the rationales for criminalisation are without their problems.
Criminalisation on the basis of the causing or risk of harm is associated with the work of John Stuart Mill, most notably in his work, On Liberty (originally published in 1859) in which he develops the so-called harm principle. This suggests that harm to others is the only justifiable basis for imposing criminal liability.
The idea that an act may be harmful to the person doing it would, for Mill, not be enough to justify criminalisation. However, other commentators, including HLA Hart, in his book Law, Liberty and Morality (1968) have suggested that stopping somebody from harming themselves can be a justification for criminalising conduct. This approach is referred to as paternalism.
The view that behaviour which is not harmful, but which is offensive (to a sufficiently high standard) could justifiably be criminalised was developed and explored by Joel Feinberg in The Moral Limits of the Criminal Law (1984-88). He uses a thought experiment involving travelling on a bus and being confronted by a range of offensive behaviours by fellow passengers to explore what we are willing to put up with before we think the criminal law should be invoked.
Criminalising conduct on the basis of its moral wrongfulness – without the need to establish harm or offensiveness – is known as legal moralism. It was endorsed as an approach by Patrick Devlin, in his book The Enforcement of Morals (1965). This book was a contribution to his exchange with HLA Hart about the proper scope of criminal law (an exchange sometimes referred to as the 'Hart-Devlin debate'). For Devlin, a society's shared morality held it together, and so it was proper to criminalise immoral conduct for the sake of social preservation.
