2016 30 Under 35 Profile: Matt Miller
Centralized Inside Sales Supervisor; The Hite Company
In 2001, just out of high school and a new parent, Matt Miller was looking for a better job than the one he had. That's when he first heard about Altoona, Pennsylvania-based Hite Company.
"I had a family member who worked there. I was 19 years old and had just had a child and needed to upgrade my job. I actually started working in the warehouse," Matt said.
Like many in the electrical industry, he admits it wasn't an industry he had given any thought to.
"It is not typically an industry where you say, 'Hey, I'm going to join the electrical industry'," he laughed.
While he enjoyed working there and learning in the warehouse, Matt already had his eyes on other goals and enrolled at Penn State University. He attended classes while also working fulltime at Hite.
"The company was great and flexible with my schedule. They thought my education was more important than anything else," Matt explained. "So every semester I would bring my school schedule in and we would sit down and make sure that I was able to get the required amount of hours to maintain full-time status, keep health insurance and all that."
Matt works out of Hite's branch in Altoona, not far from where Penn State has a branch campus where Matt attended.
"Where I lived, it was perfect. School was less than a mile away from my house. And Hite was two miles in the other direction," he explained. "Pretty centrally located for me."
After the warehouse, Matt worked his way up in the company. He became a sales trainee, after which he went to inside sales. Following that, Hite promoted him to quotation specialist and then to his current position, a centralized inside sales supervisor. In that role, he handles an array of duties.
"I oversee three employees that are centralized here at the corporate location in Altoona. They handle the majority of the day-to-day inside sales," Matt explained. "I handle a few accounts and I am also part of a small team where we quote our commodity-based projects like conduit and wire."
Matt is in a position to be both a mentor to some while also receiving mentoring from others.
"We have a diverse team dynamic here with various levels of experience and expertise," he said. "Two of the guys have 40 years experience between them. I'm still learning from them every day. A third guy is newer to the industry but he is able to provide a different, fresh perspective. It's a nice mixture."
These days Matt raises his daughter, Cassidy, who is now 15 years old. She had been active in gymnastics for quite a while but has moved on.
"She is into cheerleading now," Matt said. "In my spare time, I like to get away and go fishing. It's quiet. I like to get away where I don't have cell service and can't always be contacted. You have to be able to shut it down, I feel. It helps me maintain my sanity."
A. Don't be afraid of change. Embrace change. It is a fast-moving industry and if you're not willing to change you are not going to be successful.
I can't say that I have personally ever faced any roadblocks [to change]. I think it is the attitude. I think it is the attitude and the willingness. If you are not willing to change, you probably won't.
Q. What do you think is the biggest opportunity within the industry?
A. Every company is going to have similar products and similar prices. I feel that the biggest opportunity is in services and that involves relationship selling. I don't think it comes down to who has the bottom line on any single product. It is what type of relationship can you build with your customers and what can you as a company do to better service them and help save the money on the backend instead of on the materials costs.
A lot of people say that the big-boxes—the Amazon Primes—are going to be huge roadblocks going forward. That may be so with certain customers with price being the only reason they're buying something. But I think the relationship selling will always be a huge part of this industry.

Litigating mesothelioma cases falls under a highly specialized law area. Mesothelioma is a fatal form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos fibers. There is no other known cause of mesothelioma. Once mesothelioma is diagnosed, it's usually at an advanced stage. As a result, many patients look for a lawyer specializing in mesothelioma cases to seek due compensation.
Laws pertaining to asbestos-related diseases are complex and numerous. This legal field is not like regular personal injury litigation. An entire legal industry developed in the past four decades after the deadly truth about asbestos surfaced.
Asbestos litigation is the largest and longest-running tort in American civil law history.
Knowing your legal rights after a mesothelioma diagnosis is critical. Contact our Justice Support Team today and find out more about your diagnosis and how it may have been due to wrongful asbestos exposure.
Many lawyers specialize in practicing civil law as opposed to other legal branches. It takes years to learn how asbestos-related cases unfold and what case law precedents are established. It also takes a specialized law firm to have a network of resources on hand to investigate asbestos-related disease complaints like mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma law firms have established extensive databases to store information on which asbestos-producing companies have been previously held liable for negligent wrongdoing. It's this collection of knowledge makes mesothelioma attorneys key allies to all asbestos victims.
Mesothelioma lawyers also have intensive lists of products that contain asbestos and what workplaces were high-risk sites for asbestos exposure. High-risk worksites include U.S. military bases, vessels and vehicles, and encompass civilian workplaces like construction sites.
Legal specialists also know how to litigate and obtain proper compensation for each main source of compensation funds.
The most important step a patient diagnosed with mesothelioma can take is immediately contacting a lawyer who specializes in mesothelioma cases. Mesothelioma litigation is extremely time-sensitive. The prognosis for survival in mesothelioma cases is poor, especially when diagnosed at an advanced stage.
Mesothelioma lawyers also have knowledge about the medical side of mesothelioma. Lawyers need to have an understanding of their clients' diagnoses in order to build a complete case. Many mesothelioma law firms have medical specialists on retainer to give expert evidence on their clients' individual circumstances.
Life expectancy dramatically decreases as mesothelioma advances. Often, there are only months left between learning about having the disease and succumbing to it. This leaves little time for a lawyer to prepare, file, litigate and settle a mesothelioma claim.
There is another reason for urgency in litigating mesothelioma cases. Statutes of limitations govern the amount of time someone diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease has to file a legal claim. Each state has laws referring to the limitation of actions, meaning there is a definite window of time between a mesothelioma diagnosis and the launch of legal action.
Filing a formal complaint in court triggers the legal procedure. Some states only allow 1 year from diagnosis to filing before disallowing a claim. Other states are more lenient with some extending the statute of limitations as far as 5 or 6 years.
It's vital to choose the right law firm that has the lifting power to evaluate a case, investigate it, determine the proper action course and begin litigation in such a short time. Remember, it's the date of diagnosis that starts the limitation clock running—not the date you obtain a lawyer. Thus, you should consider legal action sooner rather than later.
An experienced attorney who specializes in mesothelioma litigation will be prepared and proactive. They'll be attuned to evaluating each case on its particular facts and know how this individual situation compares to previous cases.
The first thing an experienced mesothelioma lawyer does is evaluate a potential case. That includes the type of disease, its stage, the prognosis and how the medical evidence supports the illness was caused by asbestos exposure. A client's medical and work history will be documented as well as known places and products where asbestos was present.
Evaluation also identifies any parties who may have been negligent in contributing to a client's situation. This review establishes how strong a case is, it also assesses what type of action to take and what value the compensation should be.
We have over 40 years of experience handling mesothelioma cases and fighting on behalf of patients. We demand justice from negligent asbestos companies.
In litigating a mesothelioma case, an attorney conducts an in-depth investigation into all case facts as well as how the current law in that jurisdiction applies. Law firms specializing in mesothelioma litigation have a team of investigators at their disposal to uncover evidence supporting the disease was directly related to asbestos exposure at particular locations.
They also identify and try to prove a certain party or parties were responsible by way of negligent, deceitful or otherwise wrongful acts.
Based on your diagnosis and asbestos exposure history, an experienced mesothelioma will be able to recommend the best course of legal action and the value of compensation you should seek.
Once facts are gathered, a mesothelioma lawyer will know where to place the claim for compensation. Strong cases with clearly identifiable defendants will have lawsuit complaints lodged in court. A legal process of discovery, motions, trial and verdict follows.
Most of the time, lawsuits result in negotiated settlements out of court. If civil court action and settlement aren't the best resort, attorneys might place claims on bankruptcy trust funds.
The other claim placement is with agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs or a state-administered workers' compensation insurance plan.
Mesothelioma lawyers work in their clients' best interest. Ultimately, attorneys aim for a sufficient settlement to cover patient medical expenses, lost income, dependent assistance and compensation for pain and suffering. Occasionally, lawyers seek punitive damages but this must be court-approved.
Experienced mesothelioma lawyers know that the timeframe is short and valuable for clients. These specialized legal professionals also know the stress that mesothelioma patients and their families suffer. A speedy settlement is the best assistance lawyers can offer.
There are many factors to consider when choosing a lawyer. Most important of all is that they specialize in mesothelioma cases. These are complicated and sensitive litigations requiring the full-time attention of the lawyer and support staff. Communication is also vital as clients must be informed at every step in the process.
Knowing your legal rights after a mesothelioma diagnosis is critical. By contacting our Justice Support Team today, you can find out more about your diagnosis and how it may have been due to wrongful asbestos exposure.


I was told about one of the National TESOL sessions presented on using the Academic Formulas List (AFL) to improve writing. While I didn't attend the session, the idea reminded me of this great list from "They Say, I Say" which has some very simple sentence frames for students to use when doing research writing. It's a go to for me when teaching academic writing and hopefully it will be for those of you who are also teaching academic writing. Enjoy!

Николай Владимирович Литвиненко (1924—?) — старшина Рабоче-крестьянской Красной Армии, участник Великой Отечественной войны, Герой Советского Союза (1944), лишён всех званий и наград в связи с осуждением.

Биография
Николай Литвиненко родился в 1924 году в селе Золотыха (ныне — Залатиха), Роменского района Сумской области Украинской ССР в семье крестьянина. Окончил восемь классов школы.

В начале Великой Отечественной войны Литвиненко не был призван на службу в Рабоче-крестьянскую Красную Армию и был вынужден остаться на оккупированной немецкими войсками территории. В декабре 1941 года Литвиненко начал сотрудничать с оккупационными властями. Вначале работал статистиком в сельскохозяйственной общине в родном селе, затем секретарём сельской управы. С марта 1942 года Литвиненко — на службе в немецкой полиции. В должности полицейского он принимал участие в карательных операциях против партизан Сумской, Черниговской и Полтавской области, а также занимался вооружённой охраной оккупированных населённых пунктов.

В августе 1943 года в связи с наступлением Красной Армии Литвиненко эвакуировался в Винницкую область, в тыл немецких войск, где проживал до прихода советских войск. Свой коллаборационизм Литвиненко удалось скрыть, и в январе 1944 года он был мобилизован в действующую армию.

С марта по ноябрь 1944 года принимал участие в боях с немецкими войсками в составе 389-й стрелковой дивизии, дослужился до должности командира стрелкового отделения.

29 марта 1944 года помощник командира 2-го взвода, 7-й стрелковой роты, 545-го стрелкового полка, 389-й стрелковой дивизии красноармеец Литвиненко Николай Владимирович, в бою за железнодорожную станцию Сенкевичевка, Волынской области, первым ворвался с своим взводом на станцию, лично уничтожил одного солдата и одного офицера противника, документы, находящиеся при офицере, передал в штаб полка. Приказом № 11/н от 11 апреля 1944 года по 545-му стрелковому полку 389-й стрелковой дивизии красноармеец Литвиненко Николай Владимирович был награждён медалью «За отвагу».

Отличился во время форсирования Вислы в июле 1944 года. Из наградного листа:

23 сентября 1944 года за «образцовое выполнение заданий командования и проявленные мужество и героизм в боях с немецко-фашистскими захватчиками» младший сержант Николай Литвиненко был удостоен высокого звания Героя Советского Союза с вручением ордена Ленина и медали «Золотая Звезда» за номером 4623.

В январе 1945 года старшина Литвиненко был направлен на учёбу в пехотное училище в Риге. В июне 1946 года вскрылись факты его коллаборационизма в 1941—1943 годах. В августе 1946 года Литвиненко был арестован, и 11 октября того же года приговорён военным трибуналом Южно-Уральского военного округа к 10 годам лишения свободы с поражением в правах на 3 года.

14 октября 1947 года указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР Литвиненко был лишён всех званий и наград. О дальнейшей его судьбе ничего не известно.

Reconnection to Deerfield
Almost a year ago, I presented a Paper to The Chicago Literary Club (www.chilit.org) on three Chicago sisters named Monroe. A minor point made by me in it related that one sister, the widow of the famed Chicago architect, John Wellborn Root, rented a house, for the Summer of 1892, in Deerfield, for herself, her several small children and a house servant or two. Because she was sickly, both her sisters visited her, and, as Mrs. Root's two sisters were great letter writers, and some of their letters are were preserved in accessible Chicago libraries, one knows their timing and their family concerns. Why Deerfield, other than the known fact that agriculture in Deerfield had been in a severe depression since the opening of the Erie Canal, and rentals there were cheap? Chistopher Monkhouse ('65), now of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Susan Flynt, who has written a fine book on the Arts & Crafts Movement of Deerfield, provided the necessary clues: Madeline Yale Wynne, a key figure in that Movement, spent Winters in Chicago, as a neighbor to Mrs. Root's family home. Moving in the same social circles, the three sisters and Mrs. Wynne had to have become close friends. Deerfield was an excellent place, in which to escape the rigors of a Chicago Summer that was on the eve of The World's Columian Exposition. One Monroe sister – Lucy (later Mrs. W. J. Calhoun, wife of the Amderican Minister to China, appointed by President Taft, used her 1892 time in Deerfield to write for publication, in the New England Magazine, both on Deerfield and on the new Art Institute of Chicdgo, designed by Boston's famed architectural firm of Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge, which firm is credited with having been the Architect for the restoraton of Deerfield's Frary House. These are not intellectual roads down which I, even, thought of venturing, when I was a student at the Academy, some 65 years ago.

Nobel winner Malala Yousafzai fears Taliban will keep girls out of school
LONDON (AFP) – Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai on Sunday (Nov 14) said she was concerned that the Taliban's block on girls' education in Afghanistan will not be temporary, as claimed.
Ma Yousafzai, who was shot by the Pakistani Taliban in 2012 for campaigning for girls' education, told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show that "I'm afraid that this ban that they have announced right now that they're calling temporary might not actually be temporary".
A similar ban in 1996 "lasted for five years", she pointed out.
After seizing power in August, the hardline Islamist Taliban in September excluded girls from returning to secondary school while ordering boys back to class.
The Taliban have claimed they will allow girls to return once they have ensured security and stricter segregation under their interpretation of Islamic law – but many are sceptical.
"We're calling on the Taliban to immediately allow girls to have access to their complete education, we're calling on G-20 leaders and other world leaders to ensure that girls' rights are protected in Afghanistan," Ms Yousafzai said.
The 24-year-old activist, who revealed on Twitter last week that she had tied the knot with partner Asser Malik, sent an open letter last month calling for the ban to be reversed.
When she was 15, Ms Yousafzai was shot in the head by militants from the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, an offshoot of the Afghan Taliban, in her home town in the Swat valley while on a school bus.
She recovered after months of treatment at home and abroad before co-writing a best-selling memoir titled "I am Malala".
Ms Yousafzai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize as a 17-year-old in 2014, sharing the award with Mr Kailash Satyarthi, a children's rights activist from India.
She graduated last year from the University of Oxford with a degree in philosophy, politics and economics.

Talking About You for Hours began as part of prompt given by Helen Medland and Tim Harrison of SICK! Festival as part of my Spring 2016 semester at DasArts - the question, "what makes you, you?" I realized that I could not answer the question, but I could talk about the question along with the issues of subjectivity, identity, and the gaze of the other for hours on end.
I devised for myself a performative challenge to make a durational work where I would openly explore the question and the related subjects without ceasing. Members of the public were allowed to join me in discussing the topic and if there were no one sitting with me I would continue to discussion alone. Additionally I explored the creation of subjectivity and identity through media by openly recording the event through sound and multiple video sources as well as live streaming over YouTube and the app Periscope which brought in a totally different public to the event. Talking About You for Hours does not seek to answer the question at hand, but instead open up the ideas above through my own personal reflections as well as those of the members of the public while simultaneously presenting the performance through multiple perspectives or gazes of the other.

Heat 98, Celtics 95: Short-handed C's blow double-digit fourth quarter lead in Miami
The Celtics fell to the Miami Heat 98-95 Tuesday night on the road, dropping their second straight.
Jayson Tatum led all scorers with 31 points on 9-of-18 shooting, to go along with 14 rebounds and seven assists, while Derrick White had 23 points, six assists for the C's, who are now 35-14 on the season.
Playing without Jaylen Brown (right adductor), Marcus Smart (ankle), Al Horford (back) and Malcolm Brogdon (personal reasons) on a second night of a back-to-back, Robert Williams returned to the lineup to add 11 points, eight rebounds and Payton Pritchard chipped in 10 points, seven rebounds in a starting role.
Bam Adebayo finished with 30 points, 15 rebounds, and Haywood Highsmith recorded 15 points, 10 rebounds off the bench for Miami, who improved to 27-22 and were also without Jimmy Butler (back).
Boston was ahead 58-50 at the break and took a 14-point lead (66-52) with 9:12 remaining in the third quarter -- the largest of the night -- before the Heat cut the deficit in half (82-75) heading into the final frame.
The Celtics pushed it back up to a double-digits following a lob to Williams (87-77) with 8:47 left to play, but Miami responded with a 15-0 run to take their first lead of the second half. Trailing 92-87, Tatum was fouled hitting a floater in the lane and sank the free throw to get within two (92-90).
A Grant Williams (10 points) 3-pointer -- his third of the night -- knotted up 95-95 with 42.1 seconds on the clock and a mid-range go-ahead jumper by Adebayo proved to be the game winner on the very next play, leaving 20.1 left.
Tatum ran the clock and threw the ball away while getting doubled teamed, denying Boston an opportunity to tie or take a lead with less than a second remaining -- giving the Heat the ball back to seal the victory -- despite Pritchard having a clear look at a straightway 30-foot 3 as time expired that fell well short.
"Our spacing was a little off," said Celtics interim head coach Joe Mazzulla. "It was just two good teams out there playing. "They made a few more plays at the end than we did."
Boston, who had a 26-3 record when leading at halftime, 30-3 when having a lead after three quarters and 7-0 on the second night of back-to-backs -- was outscored 21-8 in the final eight-plus minutes against the Heat and held to only 13 total points on 5-of-21 from the field, including 10 straight missed shots in the fourth quarter.
The Celtics will head back to TD Garden Thursday night when they host the New York Knicks (26-23) on TNT at 7:30 ET.
Miami was 36.2% from the field, including 12-of-33 (36.2%) from behind the arc, while the Celtics were 43.2% from the floor and 10-of-32 (31.3%) from deep. Both teams finished with 21 assists and 42 points in the paint respectively. The C's were out-rebounded 51-44 and committed 17 turnovers to the Heat's eight.

Île-de-France is the first region in France for cancer patient management (70 000 per year). Teams from the Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris and the two Cancer Prevention Centres (Institut Curie and the Gustave Roussy institute) receive a third of patients hospitalised with cancer in France and perform half of the country's radiotherapy.
Île-de-France is also the first region in France for cancer research. About 5000 researchers and university hospital clinical researchers work in this field, i.e. 42% of the national strength in research and care. Over 10 000 patients participate in clinical trials every year and almost 900 clinical trials are activated in the region.
In this context, Cancéropôle Île-de-France's mission is particularly important. The pooling of resources and facilities is made possible through opening the technical platforms in Paris providing advanced technology to as many people as possible. Biological material banks, including tumour banks, are also essential tools for cancer research.

Kaboom: Movie Review
College students that are over-sylized and over-sexed.
Described as trippy, entertaining, and very funny, "Kaboom" is actually just a very stylized version of the college-aged sexual exploration. It gets interesting when it mixes sex with a thriller plot, but colour-coating over-sexed college students doesn't make them anymore profound. 2010
Directed by: Gregg Araki
Screenplay by: Gregg Araki
Starring: Thomas Dekker
Every shot has a colour filter to make sure that every scene is either blue, or pink, or yellow. Multi-coloured lights blur out definition in the scenery, and background sets are either in soft focus, or all black, or bright white. It's a useful technique for low budget films to not even show a question of money, but it also removes the film from reality.
We follow Smith (Thomas Dekker) as he tries to define his current state of sexuality. According to him, he is not straight, not homosexual, nor bisexual. He likes men, particularly his blonde-haired, surfer roommate Thor, but he sleeps with women, mostly just one woman, London, but then also a couple of various men. We also move in and out of reality and into his dream world with Smith. He has a bit of a hard time deciphering what is real and what is a dream, and we have a significantly harder time differentiating the two.
In either the dream world or the real world, a thriller plot develops involving unknown men chasing Smith, a mysterious red-haired girl, and a possible dead body. Unravelling this mystery seemed like it was going to be quite interesting, but then the film just took us back to the sexual misadventures of Smith and his friends.
By the time we delve back into the mystery, the line between dreams and reality have blurred even farther, and instead of liking or caring about the characters, we have grown tired of their over-intellectualizing prattle, self-obsessed demeanor, and their constant bed-hopping. We never grow attached to them, we just form a sort of curiosity to see if they will ever become relatable.
"Kaboom" is a modern, stylized sex ed thriller. The dialogue is even realistic because know-it-all college hippies really do talk like that. But do you want to hear college students philosophize their way out of doing assignments and into doing everybody they meet? I didn't think so.

HPS®4 modified urethane is versatile, durable and specially formulated to help increase roadway safety through durability, high levels of retroreflectivity, and rapid cure speeds.
It also offers a more efficient method of application as it can be applied using current generation epoxy application equipment. This, in turn, eliminates the need for using equipment dedicated to one striping material.
Its durability is showcased through its superior weathering and abrasion resistance. It has a wide application temperature range that can extend the striping season in many states. Its flexibility is proven through the fact that it can withstand the freeze- and thaw cycles that are prevalent in roadway substrates. In addition, it is a 100% solids two-part system that is applied as a two to one mixture by volume.
Pedestrians are, of course, also required and encouraged to understand and adhere to road safety rules. Durable cold applied plastic pavement marking material is essential to assist pedestrians, which is where HPS®5 comes in.
HPS®5 is specially formulated as polyurea plural component t for long-term delineation on virtually any roadway surface. Also, it is a 100% solids system that is not environmentally hazardous. However, HPS®5 offers so much more.
It can also be quickly cured at any temperature offering rapid line marking capabilities. In addition, it has superior reflectivity and durability. It can last for up to five years before any maintenance restriping is required.
MMA is the most durable pavement marking material available anywhere today and HPS®6 is based on its technology. It can be screed applied, profiled, extruded, and sprayed at various film thicknesses ranging from 10 to 500ml.
Because of this versatility, it can be surface applied onto asphalt or concrete roadways. It can also be inlaid for longer service life and is engineered for durable, long line, as well as, transverse markings.
In addition, it is resistant to snow plough damage, and when the proper glass beads are used, it can provide long life retroreflectivity. Based on this, HPS®6 can be even be used in extreme weather conditions.
HPS®7 Structured also uses MMA technology. It is a traffic marking system that is designed for application via a splatter pattern technique.
When applied over a new or bare pavement surface, the structured line creates a solid line effect when viewed by the driver. The design also produces enhanced wet night retroreflectivity by allowing water to flow off its peaks and valleys.
Similar to HPS®6, this system is also snow plough-resistant and can be both surfaces applied or inlaid for longer service life.

A frequent topic of discussion among tennis fans and commentators is who was the greatest male singles player of all time. By a large margin, an Associated Press poll in 1950 named Bill Tilden as the greatest player of the first half of the 20th century.[95] From 1920 to 1930, Tilden won singles titles at Wimbledon three times and the U.S. Championships seven times. In 1938, however, Donald Budge became the first person to win all four major singles titles during the same calendar year, the Grand Slam, and won six consecutive major titles in 1937 and 1938. Tilden called Budge "the finest player 365 days a year that ever lived."[96] In his 1979 autobiography, Jack Kramer said that, based on consistent play, Budge was the greatest player ever.[97] Some observers, however, also felt that Kramer deserved consideration for the title. Kramer was among the few who dominated amateur and professional tennis during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Tony Trabert has said that of the players he saw before the start of the open era, Kramer was the best male champion.[98]
The track opens with Lorde questioning "Don't you think that is boring how people talk?" with her, in the words of Lester, "sweet, sultry and sour" voice, which suggests "a frictional relationship with the high life".[37] This line also summarises Pure Heroine's central theme of Lorde's observations and critiques of mainstream culture.[39][40] Lorde repeats the tongue-in-cheek word "Yeah" after each verse.[41] The refrain contains the lyrics "Baby be the class clown / I'll be the beauty queen in tears", which feature "class clown" and "beauty queen" stereotypes of high school students[25][42] and express underlying sorrow behind superficial beauty.[43][44] Follow-up lines "It's a new art form showing people how little we care / We're so happy even when we're smilin' out of fear" illustrate Lorde feigning disinterest when facing fame and adolescence.[25][42] In the second verse, Lorde wonders about her future music career, therefrom expecting inevitable nostalgia of her non-celebrity lifestyle, "But my head's filling up with the wicked games, up in flames / How can I fuck with the fun again, when I'm known?"[28][45][46][47] At the bridge, Lorde sings "I fall apart, with all my heart / And you can watch from your window", which HuffPost interpreted as a commentary on the breakdowns of teenage celebrities.[32]

^ Jump up to: a b "Grays of Cambridge: History" Archived 2011-07-06 at the Wayback Machine - makers of rackets and founded in 1855 by Henry John Gray, the Champion Racquets Player of England. "In those days, the rackets were made from one piece English ash, with a suede leather grip and natural gut. ... The 1980s witnessed a period of re-structuring and consolidation. The Cambridge racquets factory was forced to close in face of the move to graphite rackets, and production was moved to the Far east."
The Babolat Pure Drive Junior racket has a child-friendly yet professional design so that even the youngest can feel great. Thanks to the high-quality workmanship and the use of only first-class materials, a junior player will certainly have a lot of fun with this children's tennis racket. The price-performance ratio of the Pure Drive Junior racquet is excellent.
Steffi Graf is considered by some to be the greatest female player. Billie Jean King said in 1999, "Steffi is definitely the greatest women's tennis player of all time."[123] Martina Navratilova has included Graf on her list of great players.[123] In December 1999, Graf was named the greatest female tennis player of the 20th century by a panel of experts assembled by the Associated Press.[124] Tennis writer Steve Flink, in his book The Greatest Tennis Matches of the Twentieth Century, named her as the best female player of the 20th century, directly followed by Martina Navratilova.[125]
A popular alternative to advantage scoring is "no-advantage" (or "no-ad") scoring, created by James Van Alen in order to shorten match playing time.[12] No-advantage scoring is a scoring method in which the first player to reach four points wins the game. No-ad scoring eliminates the requirement that a player must win by two points. Therefore, if the game is tied at deuce, the next player to win a point wins the game. This method of scoring is used in most World TeamTennis matches.[13][14] When this style of play is implemented, at deuce, the receiver then chooses from which side of the court he or she desires to return the serve. However, in no-ad mixed doubles play gender always serves to the same gender at game point and during the final point of tiebreaks.[15]
In 2001, the Australian Open replaced the deciding third set of mixed doubles with an eighteen-point "match tiebreak" (first to ten points and win by two points wins the match).[25] Despite some criticism of the change by fans and former pros,[26] the US Open and the French Open have since gone on to join the Australian Open in using the same format for mixed doubles. Wimbledon continues to play a traditional best of three match, requiring an advantage set for the third set.
The player who would normally be serving after 6–6 is the one to serve first in the tiebreak, and the tiebreak is considered a service game for this player. The server begins his or her service from the deuce court and serves one point. After the first point, the serve changes to the first server's opponent. Each player then serves two consecutive points for the remainder of the tiebreak. The first of each two-point sequence starts from the server's advantage court and the second starts from the deuce court. In this way, the sum of the scores is even when the server serves from the deuce court. After every six points, the players switch ends of the court; note that the side-changes during the tiebreak will occur in the middle of a server's two-point sequence. At the end of the tiebreak, the players switch ends of the court again, since the set score is always odd (13 games).
As rackets have become lighter, stiffer, and larger-headed, the professional game has moved, basically completely, from softer and more flexible string materials to stiff materials. This is, in large part, to tone down the additional power potential of the "modern" rackets. However, it also is related to the tendency for different string materials to move out of place when subjected to heavy topspin strokes. Polyester is the string of choice today because of that resistance, despite its increased stiffness (harsher feel and more aggravating for the joints) and reduced tension-holding ability (versus a string like natural gut, which excels at that). The top professionals of the 1970s and earlier, despite having access to stiffer materials such as nylon, nearly always chose to use the very flexible natural gut instead. String bed stiffness can be increased by using stiffer materials, such as kevlar and polyester, by increasing the density of the string pattern, and by stringing with a higher tension. Racket makers and players have experimented with very dense string patterns and very "open" patterns, beginning with the Snauwaert Hi Ten, which had a pattern with as few as 12 mains and 13 crosses. Doubles great Mark Woodforde used one of them.[14] More recently, Grigor Dimitrov is known for having played with a very open-patterned racket during part of his career. String choice, both in thickness and material, string tension, string pattern, and string pattern density can have a very large effect on how a racket performs.
This discussion is very timely for me because not only is it helping me stabilize my game, my daughter is now six and showing interest in "Playing tennis." When she was four and five that meant catching and sweeping the ball along the floor with a racket back and forth with me, and now it means gripping the child' racket her aunt brought her with both hands and hitting FH on the soft coach's ball I toss or hit softly to her. She is a natural leftie, and I showed her a LH grip with two hands, but often she uses the RH backhand grip instead, and I just let her go with it. What is amazing to me is how good her balance is and how well she steps in and rotates through the stroke, pulling the racket through. She is already an accomplished dancer and seems to understand how her body moves, and that clearly helps, but her synthesis of gripping, which she was taught, swinging, which she imitates, and rotating with balance is just natural.
Position yourself in a baseline corner. The game starts with both players on the baseline. The server chooses a corner of the baseline to serve from, and the other player positions themselves on the opposite back corner. So if you serve from the right corner of your side of the court, your opponent will stand in the far left corner from your point of view.[12]
Standard squash rackets are governed by the rules of the game. Traditionally they were made of laminated timber (typically Ash), with a small strung area using natural gut strings.[8] After a rule change in the mid-1980s, they are now almost always made of composite materials such as carbon fiber or metals (graphite, Kevlar, titanium, and/or boron) with synthetic strings.[8] Modern rackets are 70 cm long, with a maximum strung area of 500 square centimetres (approximately 75 square inches) and a mass between 90 and 200 grams (4–7 ounces).
You'll need a racquet with its own case. For a beginner, all you really need to do is check to make sure your hand fits comfortably around the handle. The racquet shouldn't feel like it's too heavy to move, but it also shouldn't feel like it weighs nothing. There are also men's and women's racquets, but you should prioritize fit over gender in most cases.
The ProCushion System, depicted in the illustration above, is the ultimate professional and residential cushioned option for tennis court surfaces. This 100% acrylic coating system is designed to provide optimum resilience and spin responsive play. The shock absorbing layers of the ProCushion system provide unparalleled player comfort at an affordable cost. Flexible acrylic binders maximize the feel of the rubber granules for decades after application.
To begin to learn to play tennis, you need to understand its unusual scoring method. As a tennis beginner, you must understand how to keep score. Scoring doesn't start with 1 or 0 — it starts with the term "love", equivalent to zero. The first point is then 15 followed by the next point, 30, and the next point, 40. The following point is the winning point and it's called game point or set point or match point — depending on which you are playing.
Advantage sets sometimes continue much longer than tie-break sets. The 2010 Wimbledon first-round match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut, which is the longest professional tennis match in history, notably ended with Isner winning the fifth set by 70–68. The match lasted in total 11 hours and five minutes, with the fifth set alone lasting eight hours, 11 minutes. Whoever wins by a margin of two wins the set, but this could take a very long time to finish.
Not all tennis racquets are meant to be used on all different kinds of court surfaces. You will have to pay attention to this when shopping for a new tennis racquet. It will probably not matter what tennis racquet you use on any surface if you are a novice tennis player but that is hardly the case if you are an intermediate or above tennis player.Some racquets are of such high quality that you can use them on any type of surface but others work best on specific types of tennis court surfaces. This will usually be noted either on the packaging description of the tennis racquet or you can most likely look it up on the manufacturer's website too.
Tournaments are often organized by gender and number of players. Common tournament configurations include men's singles, women's singles, and doubles, where two players play on each side of the net. Tournaments may be organized for specific age groups, with upper age limits for youth and lower age limits for senior players. Example of this include the Orange Bowl and Les Petits As junior tournaments. There are also tournaments for players with disabilities, such as wheelchair tennis and deaf tennis.[81] In the four Grand Slam tournaments, the singles draws are limited to 128 players for each gender.
From 'No advantage'. Scoring method created by Jimmy Van Alen. The first player or doubles team to win four points wins the game, regardless of whether the player or team is ahead by two points. When the game score reaches three points each, the receiver chooses which side of the court (advantage court or deuce court) the service is to be delivered on the seventh and game-deciding point. Utilized by World Team Tennis professional competition, ATP tours, WTA tours, ITF Pro Doubles and ITF Junior Doubles.[57][58]
The Tennis Complex (6 courts) is located on the north-west side of campus just behind Dedeaux Baseball Field. Courts are open for general use during Lyon Center operating hours, however, Athletics and Physical Education take priority during the times listed below. Please note that courts are washed on Friday mornings and lights will remain on 30 minutes after Lyon Center closing. Two courts have been newly resurfaced with sport court material. This multi-purpose surface allows individuals to play tennis, soccer, floor hockey, volleyball and basketball.
Again, begin with the grip. Whether you choose to use a one handed backhand or a two handed backhand, it's important to grip the racket closer to the top bevel with your dominant hand. For a two handed backhand, the non-dominant hand should grip the racket underneath the handle, and keeping your palm rested firmly on the racket handle. Fingers should be free of tension, and not too close together. The grip for the two hander should have your other hand adjacent to the first. It's necessary to practice both the forehand and backhand tennis strokes as you learn to play tennis.
Nearly one hundred years after its construction, the Royal Tennis Court became symbolic of the brewing French Revolution. On 20 June 1789, the deputies of the Third Estate met there at the time of the Estates General, since the Menus-Plaisirs hotel, their usual meeting place, had been closed by order of the king. On that day, they took an oath not to separate until they had endowed France with a written constitution. This founding scene was immortalised by the painter Jacques-Louis David in a grand fresco, sadly unfinished, called The Tennis Court Oath, which joined the Palace collections in 1921.

Without a doubt, tennis is a sport that requires a good amount of skill and athletic ability to play well. You need to have quick feet, strong arms and well above average hand-eye coordination if you are going to excel at it. Talent alone is not enough to get you to the top of the sport. You also need good equipment and obviously, one of the most important pieces of equipment is your tennis racquet. We wrote this article to help you learn how to pick out the best tennis racquet for your style of game. It includes not only a buying guide but also quality tennis racquet reviews.
The lines that delineate the width of the court are called the baseline (farthest back) and the service line (middle of the court). The short mark in the center of each baseline is referred to as either the hash mark or the center mark. The outermost lines that make up the length are called the doubles sidelines. These are the boundaries used when doubles is being played. The lines to the inside of the doubles sidelines are the singles sidelines and are used as boundaries in singles play. The area between a doubles sideline and the nearest singles sideline is called the doubles alley, which is considered playable in doubles play. The line that runs across the center of a player's side of the court is called the service line because the serve must be delivered into the area between the service line and the net on the receiving side. Despite its name, this is not where a player legally stands when making a serve.[52]

Newtown Church Evacuated After Threat
A noon mass was being held at St. Rose of Lima Church when police entered the building.
Published at 9:48 am on December 16, 2012
NBC Connecticut
Police gave the "all clear" at St. Rose of Lima Church in Newtown after it was evacuated during a noon mass on Sunday due to a threat.
Someone made a very menacing phone call to the church, according to Brian Wallace, a spokesperson for the diocese.
Rev. Luke Suarez was giving the homily around 12:30 p.m. when the church pastor, Monsignor Robert Weiss, interrupted him and told parishioners they had to evacuate.
More than a dozen state troopers armed with assault rifles entered the church and then the church's education center on Church Hill Road, according to NBC Connecticut reporter, Audrey Washington.
Parishioners and news media were told to leave the church property.
It was another heart-stopping incident for the people of Newtown, already dealing with unspeakable grief after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday.
Police gave the all clear around 1:30 p.m.

It's getting harder for Harper to brag about his record on jobs - Macleans.ca
It's getting harder for Harper to brag about his record on jobs
A look at how sluggish the Canadian jobs market is becoming
by Jason Kirby
Last week Prime Minister Stephen Harper went to Calgary and declared: "Since the recession, the Canadian economy has created almost 1.1 million net new jobs,… overwhelmingly full-time, high-paying, private-sector jobs…" That sounded an awful lot like the boast the prime minister made a year ago, also in Calgary: "Since the end of the recession, the Canadian economy has now created one million net new jobs…" Harper didn't intend it, but in a way these speeches highlight just how lifeless Canada's labour market has become, because "almost" 100,000 new jobs is an absolutely catatonic pace of job creation. A few days later Canadians got a reminder of that with Statistics Canada's release of its Labour Force Survey for June, which saw the economy shed 9,400 jobs and the unemployment rate rise a notch to 7.1 per cent. Of the past seven months, four have registered employment declines.
It's only when you step back and look at the labour market over a full year time frame that the problems really emerge, though. Compared to a year ago, Canada's economy added just 72,000 net new jobs. How bad is that? Let's put it in perspective. The average level of job creation for any 12 month period going back to 1977 is 214,000. Canada is creating jobs at just one-third the average rate of the last four decades.
But let's take a closer look at what Prime Minister Harper said about the types of jobs that have been created since the recession: "overwhelmingly full-time, high-paying, private-sector jobs."
"Full time": There's no question that since the end of the recession the vast majority of new jobs have been full-time positions. But over the past two year's the quality of new jobs has deteriorated with each passing year, to the point that since last June, roughly half of all new jobs were part-time.
"High paying": This is debatable, too. If we break down the jobs created since the recession by occupation, and cross-reference that with the average wages for those occupations over the past five years, it seems most of the new jobs have been in positions that pay on the mid to lower end of the scale. In fact, the two occupation groups that enjoyed the highest average wages ("Occupations in social science, government service and religion" and "Technical, assisting and related occupations in health") have experienced net losses in the number of jobs.
"Private sector": No debate here. Since the recession ended, slightly more than three-quarters of all new jobs have been in the private sector. But that's not anything to get excited about. Since 1977 the private sector has, on average, accounted for 75.5 per cent of jobs.
What we're left with is a job engine that is sputtering. Yes, yes, compared to other countries (read: United States) Canada's job market is doing much better, as Joe Oliver was quick to point out when the latest jobs figures were released. But unlike those other countries (read: United States) we have a housing market that's firing on all cylinders and a household debt-to-disposable income ratio near its all time high. Without the creation of above-average numbers of "overwhelmingly full-time, high-paying, private-sector jobs" it's hard to see that not ending badly.

Q: How can I make background fades when a custom component is in focus in Flex I created a custom component that is a s:SkinnableContainer. I want the background and other items to fade out when this component is visible. Something similar to what happens when calling Alert.show(..) so the Alert box is in focus and everything else is faded out.

A: set alpha of container of the background to less than 1.
alternatively use custom component as a popup using PopupManager

A: If you want to blur everything in a container, use something like:
<mx:BlurFilter id="myBlur" blurX="3" blurY="3" quality="3" />

or in AS3
private function blurObj(cont:Container) : void {
  var filters:Array = cont.filters;
  var bf:BlurFilter = new BlurFilter(3,3,3);
  filters.push(bf);
  cont.filters = filters;
}

Change the values of the BlurFilter properties (or constructor args) to values that suit you.
