Q: Line Chart Dashboard with Aggregated Data Points I am working on a dashboard containing a line chart, Table chart, and two category filters, and I need to figure out how to aggregate multiple rows into points that can be plotted on the line chart.
Given a data set held in a google sheet such as the sample I list below, the line graph needs to display years across the X axis (2014 - 2017), and an average of all satisfaction rates among both companies, and all departments.
The first CategoryFilter allows a user to select one of the companies. When they select one, the line graph should show aggregate numbers of all Departments, combined.
The second CategoryFilter allows the user to select a department, and the line graph should show the satisfaction rates for that single company/department.
As it stands now, once I "drill down" to the single company/department, the graph displays properly. My task at this point is to get the aggregations to work until the two category filters are used to "drill down" to a single department.
Can anybody point me to a resource that describes how to accomplish this, or to a working example that I can see how to code it?
Company    Department    Year    Satisfaction_Rate
CompA      Personnel     2014    0.8542
CompA      Personnel     2015    0.8680
CompA      Personnel     2016    0.8712
CompA      Personnel     2017    0.8832
CompA      Sales         2014    0.7542

Although this sample data accurately represents the concept of the type of data I'm working with, the actual data is quite different, as you'll notice in my code.

            alert('Error in query: ' + response.getMessage() + " " + response.getDetailedMessage());

    percentFormatter.format(data, 7);

    // Configure the controls so that:
    // - the AEA selection drives the District one
    // - both the AEA and Disctirct selections drive the linechart
    // - both the AEA and Districts selections drive the table
    container.bind(AEAControl, DistrictControl);
    container.bind([AEAControl, DistrictControl], [chart, table]);

    // Draw the dashboard named 'container'
    container.draw(data);

    // Until we figure out how to display aggregated values at the AEA and State levels,
    // keep the line graph hidden until both an AEA and District are chosen from the category filters
    google.visualization.events.addListener(container, 'ready', function() {
        var aeaSelectedValues = AEAControl.getState()['selectedValues'];
        var districtSelectedValues = DistrictControl.getState()['selectedValues'];
        if (aeaSelectedValues.length == 0 || districtSelectedValues.length == 0) {
            document.getElementById('divPrepChart').style.visibility = 'hidden';
         } else {
            document.getElementById('divPrepChart').style.visibility = 'visible';
         }
    });

}

This is how my data currently graphs prior to options selected with the category filters...

I need to make it look more like this...

A: you will need to draw the controls and charts independently, without using a dashboard.
then you can draw the charts when the control's 'statechage' event fires.
when the event fires, you can aggregate the data based on the selected values,
and re-draw the charts.
see following working snippet...

google.charts.load('current', { 'packages': ['corechart', 'controls'] });
google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(handlePrep);

function handlePrep(response) {
    var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([

Ilhan Omar angrily blames Trump and GOP for anti-Semitism, Islamophobia: 'This is not going to be the country of white people.'
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) lashed out at President Donald Trump and the Republican Party during a Tuesday event organized by Black Lives Matter.
What did she say?
The freshman congresswoman said that Trump and his political allies are to blame for a surge in anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in the U.S.
Fellow freshman lawmaker Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) was also in attendance at the event, which was held at the Capitol and called "Black Women in Defense of Ilhan Omar."
"The occupant of the White House ... and his allies are doing everything that they can to distance themselves and misinform the public from the monsters that they created that is terrorizing the Jewish community and the Muslim community," Omar said, according to NBC News.
She added that talking about anti-Semitism is the same as discussing Islamophobia.
"[W]hen we talk about anti-Semitism, we must also talk about Islamophobia," Omar insisted. "It is two sides of the same coin of bigotry."
The congresswoman went on to point out that she will not stand for the U.S. being "the country of white people."
"This is not going to be the country of the xenophobics. This is not going to be the country of white people. This is not going to be the country of the few. This is going to be the country of the many," she demanded.
Omar also said that she is a living example of what happens when you are targeted for your religion.
"The thing that upsets the occupant in the White House, his goons in the Republican Party, many of our colleagues in the Democratic Party is that they can't stand ... that a refugee, a black woman, an immigrant, a Muslim shows up in Congress thinking she's equal to them," Omar added.
Omar herself stands accused of using anti-Semitic language.

Exploring Image Display Technology
by Dolph Banza 8 months ago 4 min read
The futurist Shawn DuBravac, author of Digital Destiny estimates the number of screens in the world to be over eight billion. Half of these are T.V.s and the rest are smartphones, computers, and tablets. This number makes image-display one of the most widespread technologies in the world. This piece is my attempt to explore the journey that brought image display technology into our hands.
A breakthrough technology
Just like any technology in its infancy, previous display technologies were complicated and lacked the efficiency we have today. All the first attempts to display moving images on a medium lacked visual components such as colour, sharpness or the right frame rate (or frequency) that our eyes can capture.
Unlike today's flat displays, T.V. sets used to be bulky. The core of a T.V. set was the Cathode-Ray Tube (or CRT). For this component to fit in the TV set or the computer monitor they both had to be cubical in shape because the CRT is conical by default for practical reasons.
You can think of a CRT like a firearm shooting bullets on a wall except, for this case, the bullets are electrons, the wall is the screen, and the impacts are the lit pixels. The CRT fires like a machine gun from left to right, top to bottom just like how we read. Over and over again, the impacts get erased quickly to make way for the new ones, the observer is located on the other side of the wall but can see through it. Our brain interprets this visual phenomenon as a moving image or video.
What is amazing about electronics is we can tap into the incredible speed of electrons to make things happen so fast that our intuition loses its mind over it. This makes technology look like magic.
The first commercial colour CRT was produced in nineteen forty-five by Radio Corporation of America.
By far, the most important organ of sense is the eye. We perceive up to eighty per cent of all impressions by means of our sight or else the eyes convey way more information to our brain more than our ears, nose, tongue, and skin combined. In fact, vision best protects us from danger and that is why it is naturally overrated.
For technology to be relevant it has to embrace our senses, we innovate to bridge the gap between the efficiency of our senses and the inadequacy of our invention. The TV set produced in the eighties could only display images in low quality. In today's pixels, the average smartphone is two times better for a screen ten times smaller.
The liquid crystal display is another technology that came after the CRT. It is mostly used in devices like watches and calculators. They work on a principle called Twisted Nematic Effect, where an electric charge is used to align or twist liquid Crystal molecules. The manipulation of this effect allows the display of numbers. The first wrist watch using LCD was produced in 1972. With the rise of this technology and its migration to TV screens, the CRT death sentence was pronounced. Devices can be flatter and consume low power, hence becoming suitable for portable devices.
From LCD, we move on to another more resolution efficient technology.
The OLED
One of the most used electronic components is called a diode. Some diodes emit light when subjected to an electric current, and these are called Light Emitting Diodes (LED).
LEDs can be very small. When you put millions of them together, you get a screen. Modern screens still use Twisted Nematic Effect but on a larger scale. A pixel is actually not made of a single diode but rather three of them. This placement exploits the RGB colour model to allow full colour display.
The Macintosh Portable was the first consumer laptop to use this technology, in 1989, but it would take more years to populate TV screens and smartphones.
Display innovation
The human eye is a marvel. It has features every cameraman would only dream of, except maybe the zoom. The excellence of human vision is an enormous challenge to optic specialists and engineers — because they have a lot to catch up with.
Though we are comfortable watching video in high resolution on a bi-dimensional space (2D), our visual perception is three-dimensional (3D). There is a need for a 3D image display technology to bridge the sight-display gap.
Before I experienced 3D cinema, I could not wrap my head around the idea of displaying a tri-dimensional visual on a bi-dimensional space. Then Century Cinema opened. My first 3D experience was rather less impressive. In fact, what we call 3D display today is just a parallax effect of 2D or else 2.5D. To be able to display a 3D image, we need a hologram, not a screen. A hologram needs no medium; it just appears, like Tupac at Coachella. Hologram display technology is still under development, otherwise it would be commercial by now.
Interface to technology
The image display technology's previous role was confined to a passive visual performance output. With touch screen technology, its role has changed from passive to reactive. The penetration of computer processors in most machines has equipped them with display technology, wiping out a ton of push-button commands and making them accessible to operate. Today, image display has managed to impose itself as the interface between humans and other technologies.
The reproduction of images has both creative and practical purposes. From cave painting to smartphone screens, we capture and immortalise visuals to leave a trace of our presence on earth. We communicate better not only with proximity but posterity as well.

Qatar Airways signs $5 billion agreements with GE Aviation
Etihad Airways increases flight frequency to London Heathrow

IBA counts the cost of grounding the Max fleet
Qatar Airways has signed multiple agreements with GE Aviation.
As part of the agreements, Qatar Airways selected the GEnx engine to power its 30 new Boeing 787-9 aircraft along with a TrueChoice Flight Hour agreement to cover the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of the engines.
Qatar Airways also signed a TrueChoice Flight Hour agreement for MRO services on its GE9X engine fleet that will power 60 Boeing 777X aircraft.
The agreements are valued at more than $5 billion.
Qatar Airways group chief executive Akbar Al Baker said: "Qatar Airways has ambitious plans for the future, and we are delighted to have GE beside us as we embark on this journey together. These contracts for the GE engines that will power our Boeing 787-9 and Boeing 777X aircraft further cement the strong relationship between Qatar Airways and GE."
David Joyce, GE vice chairman and GE Aviation president and chief executive officer, added: "Qatar Airways is one of the fastest growing airlines in the world, and GE Aviation is proud to collaborate with Qatar Airways and play a significant role in their growth.
"Yesterday's signing will increase Qatar's GEnx-powered 787 fleet to 60 aircraft and ensure the airlines' GEnx and GE9X engines receive the highest level of maintenance and support."
The engine selection and services orders will draw heavily on GE Aviation's American manufacturing footprint and more than 1,000 US-based suppliers. GE Aviation employs about 27,000 employees in the US at more than 50 locations in close to 20 states.

Terrorism is a lot less common than one in a million and automated "tests" for terrorism "" data-mined conclusions drawn from transactions, Oyster cards, bank transfers, travel schedules, etc "" are a lot less accurate than 99%. That means practically every person who is branded a terrorist by our data-mining efforts is innocent.
Cory appears to be complaining about the statistical ignorance of "others" at same he is displaying his own statistical ignorance. His primary complaint is that the security agencies are branding people as terrorists with inadequate information gleaned from "statistics". He goes on to voice his fear that the security agencies are rushing to judgement based solely on these statistics and yet that is exactly what Cory is doing to the security agencies with his choice of statistical gleanings. He is using his own selection of statistics to condemn the entire investigative process used by the security agencies. Cory's condemnations without corroborating evidence are exactly what he does not want the security agencies to do with data about us. Oops! Sorry Cory! You are probably not their role model! My guess is that statistics is just of one of many tools the security agencies are using to identify terrorist suspects.

Olallo Juan Magnus Morales Wilskman, músico nacido en Almería (España) y nacionalizado sueco.

Biografía
Hijo de Zelma Wilksman (1850-1943), oriunda de Suecia, y de Olallo Morales Lupión (Berja, 1852-1889) que fue un diplomático, astrónomo, de ideas liberales y amigo de Nicolás Salmerón, que trabajó para la construcción del ferrocarril Linares-Almería y construyó el Ingenio. Por tanto, procedía de una familia de la alta burguesía almeriense relacionada con las minas de plomo y con la política. Su abuelo había sido Olallo Morales Sierra (alcalde de la ciudad de Almería en 1866).

Olallo Morales nació en Almería el 15 de octubre de 1874. A la muerte de su padre y aunque su madre, Zelma, intentó dar clases de piano para sobrevivir, dada la difícil situación económica en la que se encontraban, la familia se trasladó definitivamente a Suecia en 1890. Olallo realizó sus primeros estudios en Gotemburgo, donde vivían en casa de sus abuelos maternos. Esta ruptura con sus orígenes - Olallo tenía 16 años al marchar - fue determinante en su trayectoria musical que cultiva la añoranza de los temas andaluces.

Estudió en el Conservatorio de la ciudad de Estocolmo entre los años 1891 y 1899, siendo alumno de Wilhelm Stenhammar. Pensionado por el Estado sueco continúa sus estudios en Berlín con la pianista venezolana Teresa Carreño, el alemán Hans Pfizner (dirección de orquesta) y composición con Heinrich Urban, hasta 1907. Tras terminar sus estudios vuelve a Gotemburgo, siendo director de su Orquesta Sinfónica durante cuatro años (1905-1909). Durante diecisiete años sería crítico en varios periódicos y director de orquesta. Entre 1917 y 1939 fue profesor de dirección de orquesta del Conservatorio de Estocolmo, y Secretario de la Academia Sueca de Música desde 1918 hasta 1940, año de su jubilación. Fundó la Sociedad Española de Estocolmo. Informó a la Academia sueca para la concesión del Premio Nobel a Jacinto Benavente, traduciendo al sueco "La Malquerida", obra del escritor español. Fue amigo de Manuel de Falla para el que preparó un viaje a Suecia que no llegaría a realizarse. Se casó con la soprano sueca Clary Asplund.

Entre sus discípulos podemos encontrar a los músicos suecos Lars-Erik Larsson (1908-1986), clases de dirección de orquesta entre los años 1925 y 1929, y Dag Virén (1905-1986), dirección de orquesta entre 1926 y 1931.

Falleció en la ciudad sueca de Tälberg el 29 de abril de 1957.

The bass drum consists of a cylindrical soundbox (shell) made of wood (occasionally of plywood or metal) and two heads stretched across the open ends of the shell.
As on the snare drum the two heads are stretched over a flesh hoop, which has a slightly larger diameter than the shell. A counter hoop placed on the flesh hoop is attached with screws or threaded rods to the tensioning brackets which are mounted on the shell. The heads are tightened by screws (10–16 depending on the size of the instrument) which allow the heads to be precisely tensioned.
In the orchestra calf heads are generally used. Donkey skin is equally suitable but harder to come by. Smaller drums such as those played in pop, rock and military music (especially those used by marching bands in the open air) normally have weather-proof plastic heads. The batter head is usually somewhat thicker than the resonating head and both should be made of the same material.
In the orchestra the bass drum is suspended on leather or rubber straps (very occasionally on wires) in a special, usually round frame in such a way that it can swing freely and be placed at any angle or playing position.

Alberni city council close to approving own pay raise
Alberni city councillors are one step away from giving themselves a pay raise.
Wawmeesh G. Hamilton
Port Alberni city councillors are one step away from giving themselves a raise.
Council voted 5-2 on the first three readings of a remuneration and expenses bylaw at their Jan. 27 meeting.
If the plan is adopted after fourth reading of the bylaw in February then Mayor John Douglas will be paid $38,500 per year, which is an increase from $32,900 last year. Councillors will be paid $17,000, an increase from $13,160 last year.
The raises wouldn't take effect until April so the cumulative total for all of council would only cost $28,500 this year.
Increasing council remuneration presents too many problems, said Hira Chopra, one of two councillors to vote against the raise (Cindy Solda also objected).
"How can you ask employees and management not to ask for a raise when you just gave yourself one? I don't think the community can afford the tax burden on this one."
A report from city manager Ken Watson originally recommended that the stipends be increased to $41,500 and $18,000 respectively to reflect the average stipends of councils from similar size municipalities.
According to the report, the maximum mayor's stipend was $78,000 while the minimum was $21,000. The average was $41,000. For councillors, the maximum stipend was $31,000 and the minimum $9,000; the average was $17,000.
An amendment by Coun. Rob Cole reduced the raise to seven per cent below the average of similar size municipalities to better reflect the Valley's standard of living.
In the ensuing discussion, Chopra and Solda spoke against the raise.
Councillors' means of income can better absorb public service than citizens who just get by, Chopra said. "Lots of people don't have an $18-an-hour job. When you're on a limited income everything goes up but not your pension or wage," he said.
Councillors already get annual raises because the BC Consumer Price Index is built into them, Chopra said.
(The last couple of cost of living raises have been two per cent.)
An outside committee should have been formed to look at the issue and bring recommendations back to council, Solda said. As well, normal practice has been to set raises for new councils after an election so as not to look self serving, she added. "I have a little trouble swallowing this."
Raising council's stipend will benefit future councils, Mayor John Douglas said. Doing so might prompt more younger working people to run for city council. "It will allow them the opportunity to become more fully engaged in the community and attend public meetings."
Coun. Jack McLeman also spoke in favour of the raise."I'm concerned for people who want to run but have a small business or a family. It's hard."

Phillips: I can't wait to get started
Adam Phillips says he's delighted to sign for Norwich following a successful trial period with City's Under-23s.
Phillips, 19, joins after 10 years with Liverpool and was part of City's Under-23s team that recently toured Germany alongside the first-team. "It was great to get to know the players, and it was good the first-team were in and around us as well. The games were a good challenge, especially with the heat and the pitches but I had a great time and really enjoyed it.
"It's been good working under Matt Gill. He knows what he's doing, and you can tell he's a switched-on coach so I'm looking forward to seeing what he can bring to my career. He's also got good banter!"
Phillips impressed on tour, with plenty of City's build-up playing coming through him in central midfield. "I'm a holding midfielder, although I can play attacking as well. I like to get on the ball and spread the ball around and I like to take set-pieces and score a few goals from free-kicks. I'll always give 110% in the games and in training and work hard and do my best for the club."
City's Sporting Director Stuart Webber was working in the Academy at Liverpool when Phillips joined, and the teenager says he's played a big part in his decision to come to Norwich. "I've had a strong relationship with Stuart. I've always kept in contact with him and I'm looking forward to working with him."
Highly rated at Liverpool, injury problems set him back over the last 18 months. "It was frustrating for the last year or two with injury," he says. "I had a back injury but I'm fully recovered now and I'm looking to push on with Norwich City and put that behind me.
"I think it's good the first-team have a new head coach, so hopefully I can try and catch his eye in the Under-23s games and try to push to train with the first-team and get around the squad. But at the moment I'm just focussed on working hard and playing as well as I can with the U23s."

BlockbusterDAO wants to raise at least $5 million to buy the iconic video rental brand from Dish Network and turn it into a streaming film studio.
A new decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) has been formed with the goal of buying the Blockbuster brand from Dish Network and turning it into a film studio and streaming platform.
Blockbuster Video is an American video rental company founded in 1985 that once had 6,000 stores globally and was valued at over $8 billion before it shuttered almost all of its operations in 2014. It is currently owned by Dish Network and operates just one store in Bend, Oregon.
The DAO interested in "liberating" Blockbuster from Dish Network is aptly named BlockbusterDAO. The DAO explained in a Sunday tweet its plans on rallying a grassroots effort to buy Blockbuster by raising at least $5 million through a BlockbusterDAO nonfungible token (NFT) minting event. Each NFT will be valued at 0.13 Ether (ETH).
BlockbusterDAO plans on turning Blockbuster into a decentralized film (DeFilm) streaming studio. DeFilm is an experiment launched in July that proposes to "actually make a movie with decision making happening on a blockchain." "Block" buster seems to be a fitting name for such a project.
Our mission is to liberate Blockbuster and form a DAO to collectively govern the brand as we turn Blockbuster into the first-ever DeFilm streaming platform and a mainstay of both the Web3 brands and products, but a powerhouse in the future of the film industry. Read the
— BlockbusterDAO (,) (@BlockbusterDAO) December 26, 2021
The DAO currently comprises about 9,000 netizens on Twitter and a Discord server who deliberate over how the DAO can achieve its goals.
BlockbusterDAO appears to be tapping into the social media-led desire to resurrect memestock brands such as GameStop and AMC while following a similar path laid by ConstitutionDAO just over a month ago. ConstitutionDAO aimed to buy an original copy of the Constitution of the United States of America from the Dorothy Tapper Goldman Foundation at auction.
ConstitutionDAO ultimately failed to achieve its goal, as hedge fund manager Kenneth Griffin paid a total of $43.2 million for the copy in the Sotheby's auction on Nov. 19. Following the auction, the DAO offered full refunds to anyone who donated. Those who did not take refunds kept their PEOPLE tokens.
Related: ConstitutionDAO: PEOPLE price pumps 200% as new 'We The People' token unveiled
Just over a month later on Dec. 23, PEOPLE was listed on Binance where it currently trades for about $0.11.
The ConstitutionDAO team has shown its support for the BlockbusterDAO efforts by tweeting on Monday:
"PLEASE bring back blockbuster, @netflix has gone unchecked for far too long."

Create your home
Develop your land
Grand Designs begin at Graven Hill
16.04.2019 | Tom Connor
The new series of 'Grand Designs: The Street' is underway on Channel 4 and Kevin McCloud will be following 10 builders who have decided to create their own home at Graven Hill, the UK's largest single collection of custom and self-build serviced plots.
Graven Hill can be found on the outskirts of Bicester, a market town in the heart of Oxfordshire.
The development of 1900 new homes, each of which will be customised to a degree to reflect the individual requirements of its occupier, has a range of different opportunities available to buyers. These include individual serviced plots to customisable new homes bought on completion to enable first time buyers to access the Help to Buy equity loan.
Designing and creating your own home has never been easier. Graven Hill is situated in a stunning rural location with excellent road and rail links. Utility connections have been installed to each plot boundary, prior to the arrival of any buyer on site.
Outline planning permission has been achieved and each serviced plot is accompanied by a Design Code and Plot Passport, agreed by the local planners at Cherwell District Council. These documents enable buyers to work with their preferred architects or designers, to detail each house design which can be submitted for reserved matters approval in less time. It's not only the design time that is reduced, as buyers at Graven Hill will achieve full planning consent within 28 days of submission, if they comply to the guidelines set out in the Design Code.
Graven Hill has something for everyone. Perhaps you would like to benefit from living in a safe and sustainable community but would prefer to customise the interior layout and fittings such as lighting, internal doors, flooring, kitchens and bathrooms? Graven Hill has a range of detached, semi-detached and townhouses available for purchase on completion. These customisable new homes are perfect for young professionals escaping London by night but still commuting in by day, or for downsizers looking to future proof their home with little or no monthly heating bills and a home which can be a viable alternative to expensive care homes.
All serviced plots and customisable homes are available to purchase from the Custom Build Homes' PlotStore

Zhuravlev, M.D., the founder of Kirov State Medical Academy, the Russian Federation State Prize Winner of 1993 for achievements in hepatic surgery, St. Andrey Pervozvanny Prize Winner, Associate Member of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, a member of many international societies and associations, Honorary Member of the Academy of Medical Sciences of Poland, Academician of the European-Asian Academy of Medical Sciences, Academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, Honorary Citizen of the City of Kirov, Honorary Citizen of Kirov Region, the Director of Kirov Interregional Center of liver and Bile Duct Surgery of the Health and Social Development Ministry of the Russian Federation, the author of over 500 monographs, text-books on liver surgery, methodological books and articles. Professor Valentin A. Zhuravlev has also the titles of "Distinguished Scientist of the Russian Federation", "Distinguished Health Care Professional of the Russian Federation", "Distinguished Physician of the Russian Federation". Professor Valentin A. Zhuravlev was included in the Sixth Edition of "INTERNATIONAL DIRECTORY OF DISTINGUISHED LEADERSHIP". He was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor and the Medal for Distinction in Labor.
Valentin Andreyevich Zhuravlev was born in the village of Chornaya Kholunitsa, Omutninsk District, Kirov region, Russia, on October 23, 1931. He completed his high school education with honors in 1950 and next turned his energies towards completing his medical education at Nizhny Novgorod Medical Academy. In 1956, after graduation with honors he embarked on a very hard surgical career in the city of Angarsk, Irkutsk region, Siberia, and very soon earned the reputation of a talented skilled surgeon. In 1961, after his five-year surgical experiences Dr. Zhuravlev entered a research postgraduate course in surgery at Kirov Research Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion. In 1964, the young talented researcher's report was a great success at the certification session of the Certification Scientific Board that granted him his first research degree. Between 1964 and 1969, for five years the intelligent and knowledgeable scientist and surgeon worked as a research associate at Kirov Research Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion. In 1969, due to his accomplishments and good scientific reputation Dr. Zhuravlev was unanimously elected Chief of the surgical clinic of the Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion. In 1971 Dr. Zhuravlev earned the highest scientific degree for his deep investigation devoted to methods of resections and indications for resections in cases of severe focal diseases of the liver. In 1978 Professor Zhuravlev was appointed Head of Kirov Research Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion and continued working as the Chief of his surgical clinic. Due to his achievements and great efforts Kirov Interregional Center of Hepatosurgery was established, and within a few years it could earn the highest-level reputation of the unique surgical treatment center for severe focal diseases of the liver. In 1987 Professor Zhuravlev became the organizer and framer of Kirov State Medical Institute. In 1993 Professor Zhuravlev was awarded Russia's highest and most prestigious scientific prize. The Russian Committee for State Prizes in Science and Technology decided on Professor Zhuravlev's nomination due to his overall accomplishments and contributions to liver surgery.

US Secretary of Defense James Mattis sees future opportunities for advanced research with Brazil, particularly in space, he told an audience at Brazil's war college on 14 August.
Pentagon spokesperson Commander Sarah Higgins said on 15 August that the Department of Defense (DoD) has a strong science and technology (S&T) relationship with Brazil. She said the two nations signed a space situational awareness (SSA) agreement that will allow them to share information about more than 23,000 objects in orbit, including Brazil's satellites.
Cdr Higgins said Brazil has revitalised its space programme since a tragic accident more than a decade ago. A rocket exploding at the Alcantara Launch Center (ALC) in northeast Brazil in 2003 caused numerous fatalities.
"The combination of Brazil's resurgence and the secretary's directive to transform the relationships makes this an opportune time to collaborate in space," Cdr Higgins said.
Mattis stopped in Brazil during a South America trip that also will include Argentina, Chile, and Colombia. Mattis also said on 14 August that it is in the United States' best interests that Brazil's industrial base be internationally competitive.
Cdr Higgins said the Pentagon is an active member of the US-Brazil Defense Industry Dialogue, led by the Department of Commerce. She said this dialogue aims to bring together industry and government officials to seek ways to develop defence products that could be of mutual interest to Brazil and the United States.
One high profile example of US-Brazil defence industry co-operation is on the Embraer EMB-314 Super Tucano light air support turboprop aircraft.


The Torah portion for this week contains a lot of ritual instructions for the different sacrifices. On the surface these instructions are, for many readers, rather boring, certainly repetitive and essentially irrelevant. I can understand this point of view, but I do not wholly share it. For me they hold an importance and that importance is: That they are written down and available for the public to see, to read, to learn, to copy. They are not kept secret and mysterious, locked away, written in code in a different script, for the initiated few. The sacrifices in the Sanctuary and later in the Temple were not part of some conspiracy plot, for the Illuminati only; on the contrary, everyone could see what it was the Cohen, the priest had to do, and how much he got paid for it. We talk a lot about Transparency in modern political life but of course we do very little to ensure it happens.
So often in life or in the Torah you have to look carefully at context and sequence and look for clues as to what is going on. Sometimes the clues are hidden between the lines, sometimes the clues are staring at you in black and white and you just to take a step back to see them better. In Judaism, the Priests were downgraded in importance. This is vital. They were not allowed any own initiative. God tells Moses – a lay leader – to tell them what their instructions are. For a Full Burnt Offering, for a Flour Offering….. So Moses as lay leader is also not God but only a mouthpiece for God, an intermediary. God does not talk to the Priests direct! How amazing is that! But God gives firm and clear and systematic instructions as to how the Israelites are to approach God, what they are to give under certain specific circumstances, what parts of their sacrifices they are allowed to eat themselves, what share the priests are entitled to as their professional fee.
I do not want to pretend that the details of the sacrifices are so fascinating – but it IS relevant to look at the language and the structure. How often do we hear a politician – of any country, of any party – use words like "We are going to GIVE so-and-so many-millions to Education or to Health or to Social Welfare"? And they expect praise and gratitude for such statements. Whereas in fact the Government as such is actually giving Nothing at All – it is only ALLOCATING a certain sum from the annual budget for a certain cause… it is not their personal money, it is the money raised by taxation, direct and indirect. So when the Priests bring a routine sacrifice this is from the donations made, collectively or individually, by the Israelites who come to the temple. They represent the People to God in the way a lawyer represents a client to a judge in a court – everyone knows that they are paid to do their job, to say good things about their client, to plead for a good judgement or at least for a mild punishment; Everyone knows they did not know their client before the client came to their office and everyone knows they will never see the client again afterwards – with luck! – or become a close family friend, and yet they speak of their client as though they had known them intimately all their lives and are close personal friends….
The word "kadosh", translated as "holy", means just "special, separate, out of the ordinary". It is so easy, when you are working for a special cause, to feel that you yourself are special. What does this mean? That you expect special rewards, that normal rules and restrictions no longer apply to you, that you are entitled to privileges, not just because of your status but because of you yourself. It is a standard and common temptation. You feel you can speak for everybody – even for those not yet born, even for those who have already died. You might tell yourself you feel "closer to God" but actually you are just as distant as everyone else and subject to just the same human failings and weaknesses.
In recent months – I don't want to get too 'political' here but I do want to illustrate my argument with some current examples – we have seen the major impact in the Church of the awareness that just because a man puts on a robe and makes certain commitments, this does not mean that his sexuality simply evaporates; It may merely be channelled in other directions which then, almost by definition, become destructive one, destructive for themselves, for their victims and for the system they serve. We have seen political leaders deny historical tendencies and facts, seeking to make of their nation in its history, three quarters of a century ago, a nation purely of victims, of innocents, a nation in which Nobody collaborated with evil or supported evil or was possibly even aware of evil…. an innocent fluffy Lamb that lay down with the Lion without becoming corrupted. And anyone who denies this is accused of being a heretic, a slanderer, a blasphemer, who should be punished. An entire nation of innocents! It really makes one wonder what some people believe, and what they think they can persuade others to believe..
A further important issue is that of 'Closure'. If a person, a Jew, has performed a certain sin or has a certain request, it is laid down clearly and systematically what has to be done to resolve this need. Rather than years of counselling and therapy, a Sin Offering can be brought. I recently had to counsel a man – not Jewish – who had been carrying for almost the whole of his life the guilt for a tragedy in which he was involved as a teenager. How different things might have been for him, over decades, if he had been able to 'put things right with God" in a certain way – admitting his guilt and his shame, admitting the impossibility of putting right what had happened – a man had been killed in an accident – but at least repairing the relationship to God and getting on with his life. The price list given in the Torah is fairly simple, there are occasional discounts for the very poor but no punitive extra costs for the wealthier – but it is clear, it is published just like the prices on a menu outside the restaurant. As a human before God, it is not so important what one has, but what one is prepared to give. A sacrifice is not necessary for God to remain well-nourished, a sacrifice is necessary so that a human can say "I can do without this, I can afford to donate this, I won't need this for ever" and give it away – can distance themselves from material things, can watch as it all goes up in smoke anyway or is shared with others. The word for a sacrifice – Korban – is derived from the word for "getting close" to God. The Rabbis said we can get close to God through Prayer, as an alternative, as a substitute.
So – we read these chapters of Leviticus – we do not need to stick to the strict interpretation and fulfilment of the regulations and commands, and I am certainly not one of those Jews who argues that the sacrificial cult in Jerusalem should be restored – but we can and should ask ourselves : Why have almost all religions in world history demanded something from their adherents? Why have there been priests and altars and sacrifices (in various forms, with various names, even whether a matter of money or incense sticks to images or donations to the priests or monks) from Thailand through India to Peru? What effect did these forms of worship have on the worshippers?; and what do we use today to take their place, when we want to approach God?

It's not you, it's me . . .
March 26, 2016 March 26, 2016 / Gary Hartstein
It's over. We're officially on a break. It's gotten to the point where there's less pain separating than staying together. I never, ever, thought it'd get to this. But what's going on just makes no sense, seems perfectly conceived to drive us all away, and is shameful and embarrassing. Maybe we'll get back. But it's not possible to think of that now. Good bye. Good luck.
No need to rehash the past, but let me just put some of the why's on "paper" – it'll make me feel better about this, help ME to put my thoughts in order. Maybe to convince myself that I'm doing the right thing by walking away. It might be a bit disjointed, a bit rambling. Sorry for that. I'm pretty emotional about this.
It started for me in 2008, with my demotion and replacement by someone who not only had never cared for an accident victim of any sort, but had only ever attended two or three races . . . as a spectator. At the time, I was told by the president of the FIA Medical Commission, "We still need your knowledge and experience, though. You're our life insurance policy." Can't be clearer than that, eh? We need to wait a few years for the consequences to play out, but they do, and the price is awful. A grievously injured driver, barely clinging to life, spends three quarters of an hour on soggy roads in a creaking ambulance, before receiving proper care. It still sickens me.
Here's a scoop: there will soon be published, in an international peer-reviewed journal, a scientific paper demolishing the current system of extrication that has not been changed in over 20 years, despite dramatic advances in this field. The lack of knowledge and experience at the medical lead is so blatant that several Chief Medical Officers of the F1 season are worried that by following existent FIA protocol they are making themselves vulnerable to medico-legal consequences by failing to follow current standards of care. Read that again. This from a sport that purports to be at the leading edge of everything.
I've ranted about this before, and stayed faithful to the sport. But there's more.
The qualifying debacle currently playing out to the shame of all concerned is the proximate cause. Think back – the problem years ago was an empty circuit when meteorologic conditions were such that running wasn't advantageous. True to F1 form, complication was chosen over simplicity. Rather than a simple rule constraining teams to get their cars out there or be penalised, all manner of contrivances were instituted. Only to wind up with . . . an empty circuit at the end of quals, arguably what should be the most exciting moments of all. I can't say who gains by this, but I sure know who loses.
What about safety car procedures? I've never understood the delta times, never understood keeping the car out there for two or three extra laps so that "lapped cars may unlap themselves" All I know is that under conditions that by definition are some of the most dangerous, when the entire circuit is covered by yellow flags (need I quote again the regulation concerning driving under yellows?) we have guys driving flat out. Remember Fernando's accident at Brazil? He used the first of his thankfully many lives there . . . under the safety car. And it's only gotten worse. Once again, why do simple when we can do complicated. And the public (who want racing once the accident has been cleared, not cars unlapping themselves) be damned.
What about grid penalties? These were treated with humour last season, but seriously? Hundreds of places of grid penalties with a grid you can count on two hands and two feet? Who is kidding whom here? Who is mocking whom? I'm sick of being mocked.
What about engine tokens? With a brilliant and potentially transferable technological formula for energy recovery, we institute a byzantine system in a half-assed attempt to control costs. Complicated, when simple would do.
We're not complicated, we the fans. We just want good racing. We want to see the skill and cleverness and bravery of drivers battling for position. We've all known for years that sophisticated aerodynamics makes for incredible cornering speeds, but makes overtaking more and more difficult. Everyone smart and savvy has been clamouring for years for less aero and more mechanical grip. Huge slicks and small wings – and let the drivers do the rest. What do we get? More aero in the next version of the tech regs, and a promised 4 to 5 second fall in lap times. Do any of us care about fast processional laps? That's what I thought. The sport is not only not listening to us, but like a petulant child it's thumbing its nose at us. How long must we endure that?
Should I mention tires? And the absurdly complicated allotment system, the engineered degradation "to make the racing more interesting"?
In a way, these are details, but they are telling. More importantly, MUCH more importantly, is what is going on with the circuits. The circuits are where it all plays out. Where we are reminded, season after season, of the glorious history of the sport. Where, depending on the stroke of the architect's pen, we are either treated to almost two hours of thrills, or relegated to 305 kilometres of boredom. What about the circuits?
They are being strangled. They are being charged money, much too much money, for the privilege of hosting this soon-to-be farcical spectacle. They are signing contracts that guarantee multi-million dollar losses, and this despite often fantastic attendance. They are forced each year to beg, cap in hand, for a pittance to keep functioning, to continue to host a sport where BILLIONS are earned and distributed. And finally, one after another of the temples of this sport are throwing in the towel. Now Monza is under dire threat and may not be on the calendar in 2017. The only places who can meet the current levels of parasitic pricing are those with governments that are either flush with petrodollars (not sustainable anyway in the current market) or flush with corruption.Or both. Bernie and todt getting touchy-feely with Putin was and is an abidingly nauseating spectacle. Who are they kidding? And who is losing out here? Yep – we the fans. I'm sick of it.
todt has proven that, since becoming FIA president, he either has no idea how to make sure his flagship championship flourishes, or just doesn't care. Either way, his term has been a shameful example of (almost laughably ineffective) self-promotion. Of blatant abdication of his roles and responsibilities. Of cowardly acquiescense to others.
Bernie, a man I love(d) and respect(ed), has apparently lost the plot. Or lost the ability to influence the plot. The man who created the modern sport of F1 can find nothing better to do than to slag off on it publicly. Can anyone remember the last constructive idea he has had, the last time we actually said "Thank God he's around"? I sure can't.
His business model, with floats and bonds and all manner of other financial manoeuvring too complicated for someone like me to understand, has created a monster. A monster whose driving force is profit . . . to the detriment of the fans. I'm not one to bemoan the role of money in global sport. Tennis, golf, football, etc are all multibillion dollar enterprises. BUT THEY CONSISTENTLY ACT IN THE INTEREST OF THEIR FANS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT KEEPS THE DOLLARS COMING IN. Not F1. Soooo not F1. And I for one am sick of yacht-owning, Gulfstream-flying, Maybach-riding preadolescents bickering and yapping while the sport that made them rich burns. And while the fans who made them rich cry.
There you go. I'm out. Maybe if enough of us do the same they'll realise where the true power is. But I have no intention of trying to start a movement. I just can't keep investing emotionally in a sport that has no concern, demonstrably none at all, for us.
I'll continue to follow all my F1 related twitter feeds.I'll continue to love Lewis and Jenson and Fernando and Max and all of them. Continue to respect and admire their skill and courage. Continue to pray for them to be safe. But I won't watch. I can't. Not unless things change.

Very interesting post. Now I have a serious quwstion: Dear Sir, do you think you would have rescued Jules if you had still been in Charge?
If you mean would I have been able to avoid what happened, the short and simple answer is no. First of all, the forces involved in that accident were at or beyond the limit of what the human brain can tolerate. Second, Ian Roberts is an extremely skilled, massively experienced anaesthetist. I'd be happy to manage any accident scene as well as Ian does.
If that's not what you meant, could you please explain?

What a difference a year makes, eh? I'm re-reading this, almost a year to the day from its publication – I came to look up something else, but this (re)drew my eye.
It seems your views were, as ever, relevant and prescient. We – the fans of F1 – have now got the spectacle of fatter slicks, smaller rear wings (excluding those ugly t-wing add-ons), done away with artifical tyre deg, and Bernie is out of the picture.
In comes Liberty with a clean broom, ready to engage with fans via social media, and as Dieter Rencken wrote in Autosport today ("the $150 gamble that spooked f1" – paywalled, sorry), with Ross Brawn at the helm they are in a position to make real change ahead of contract renewals in 2020. At last I have genuine optimism for f1's future.
Rather than ramble on, I'll ask a simple question – will you be tempted to give f1 another go? I'd be intrigued to hear your answer. Please do consider blogging about it, rather than it getting lost in a mountain of year-old comments. As ever, your thoughts will be intriguing.
Flash Bristow (@techiebabe)
Hi Flash! Great to hear from you. I'll be watching as much of the season as illegal streaming will allow me, and within the constraint of Sundays being work days here in the Middle East. I love the sport too much, and this season's newness is too exciting, to stay away.
I'll admit to not following the news of the F1 world very closely. I'd have a hard time listing the tech changes for this year, and would be incapable of naming who's gone where in terms of team structures. This is simply because I'm way too preoccupied to the threat to my country posed by the rapist ignoramus (temporarily) occupying the White House. After I get done with work and US politics, I barely have enough energy to do the dishes!
I am very optimistic that Liberty will get the sport on course again; I think these guys understand a lot of what modern sports mean and the role they serve in our society, and I think they'll be quite effective. They might need to knock a few spoiled petulant team principle heads together, but again, with guys like Zak Brown around, modernity is in the air…

Jules Bianchi: Late F1 driver's family sue over 'avoidable' death
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/36386227
Dr. Hybrid
Thank you for your words Doc.
And I have no more than giving it to you Dr Hartstein….do you remember me? When talking about "I want to be a F1 Doc topic"…..I blamed all of you of being in the confort zone of motorsport medicine. I deeply regret. How fool I was…
First, I have to explain myself. After a couple of races back then, I decided to quit Motorsport Medicine. At least for the moment. Reason? Mostly MEDICO LEGAL concerns. Sickened of travelling around in medical cars fitted with an AED for monitoring, sickened of going around massive multiple victims incidents without any specific material (rally/hillclimb can always take Multiple Casualties as the spectator are next to the competition)….sickened to see as my airway devices only a couple of cuffed ETT. No Fastrach, no Airtraq, no king vision AT ALL?? As you must surely agree extrahospital airway tends to be considered Dificult Per Se….Nobody cared.
In "regular life" I work in the streets, in a creeky ambulance 😉 and I have all kind of "luxuries", brand new LP 15 with all extras, all kind of IT devices and state of the art Portable Mechanical Ventilator. If you really mean what you said in your post, all medical cars should be fitted with this kind of equipment. After several years of racing coverage, I have to say the reality doesnt fit this definition…..As I previously said many of the local motorsport authorities have their regulations online. You can check them and see for yourself. As a requeriment, an AED for cardiac monitoring. In Trauma patient…AED?? Seems like a joke. Is that state of the art??
I have to say I deeply miss all my weekends travelling around and serving the poor drivers for ridiculous compensation, but in the end of the day its my way of living. I have to feed my family.
Sad thing, as much as I love this sport, If my son asks me to buy him a kart i will probably refuse…
Best Regards my Dear Colleague
Peace and Love for All!
It is indeed a tough fight, and one not likely to be won properly, especially in difficult economic times. As usual, it will take avoidable poor outcomes to change things. It will certainly take motorsport doctors starting events with signed statements given to the stewards/clerks of the course stating that the organisers have not allowed the medical cover to follow current best practice, and that they while the medical workers will do the best they can under the circumstances, they cannot be held responsible for the shortcomings created by the organiser/promoter/ASN.
This is starting to be the case even at the highest level as concerns extrication practice, with some CMOs going on record before F1 events as stating that current FIA recommendations do not allow current best practice . . . etc etc etc.
I have a suggestion. If JT aka Napoleon Jr was such the hero of motorsport and driving safety, why doesn't he make his FIA MANDATE that 0.5% of all team, track and series sponsorship IS SPENT on event (circuit) medical facilities on a continual basis and to be considered as a cost of doing business and as a gift to the circuits worldwide where FIA affiliated/regulated events occur. Would that make a difference? Someone is getting rich with all of this money going around and around after all, and they won't pay flag marshals etc… which consequently ends up with a Mclaren M23 dropped on its guts from 5m in Monaco but that another story altogether.
Cesar H. Perez
100% on you on this one. I stopped watching F1 a few years ago. Right now the only thing more boring than an F1 race is looking at a rock waiting for it to move. Passing is a thing of the past unless a car breaks down, crashes or there's some huge mistake in the pits. There's more drama outside the track than in the race and the steering wheels on the cars look more complicated than a fighter jet's cockpit. What the hell happened to a steering wheel, three pedals a shift lever and a tachometer plus a couple of extra gauges? That's a combination that makes for fun racing. Are they trying to race or break some sort of land speed record?
I'm not saying to go back to the stone age but it has reached a point where the cars are more closely related to a game console than a motor vehicle. They need to seriously reexamine the basics of what makes for an entertaining race, which is close, wheel to wheel driving with lots of passing and closely matched cars.
I hope to read more from you in the future, specially about the medical side of motorsports, which I find very interesting.
Regards from the Dominican Republic!
Thanks Cesar! Home of my favorite cigars (and my favorite cigar maker), I'm looking forward to visiting the Dominican Republic!

I visited the Michael Schumacher exhibition at Marburg yesterday.
A little small but nevertheless well done. The passion of the man, his pleasant personality and his unique achievements came through loud and clear.
Miss him a lot and so sad we are not to have the benefit of his views and opinions at Grand Prix.
Jane A
It sounds like a tribute to the man he once was and a nice touch to provide this for the fans. I continually wonder if he has any memory of his previous life. Was thinking about this at the weekend as Lu Spinney has just written a book 'beyond the high blue air' about her son Miles Kemp who was in a minimally conscious state for 5 years after a snowboarding accident in 2006 which is being serialised in Mail online.
Since Schumacher's accident I've also read about others like Polly Kitzinger who is now profoundly handicapped after a car accident. Her sisters are academics in the UK who have set up a disorders of consciousness research centre at Cardiff/York universities. It's such a difficult area but worth shining a light on for all concerned.
Completely agree with you on F1. I actually stopped watching when Sky got half the races.
But I would like to see a few more articles from you. I enjoyed reading your words and learned a huge amount.
How about something on the boxer who has just come out of a coma?
Are repeated relatively small impacts as serious as a single big crash?
I understand your views on F1…. But that's maybe only 5% of the reason I read this blog.

Tom Coleman
I'm sorry to hear that you won't be writing your articles anymore but I understand and agree with your frustration. F1 lost it's way long ago and continues to dazzle us fans with fits of brilliance like the latest qualifying format. Your candid and informative articles will be sorely missed.
Not stopping writing, just watching. Thanks for the kind words!

'there will soon be published, in an international peer-reviewed journal, a scientific paper demolishing the current system of extrication that has not been changed in over 20 years'
Can you post a link to that here? I would find it interesting to read.
I'll post the link when the paper is published.

Greetings Doc, I am so with you on this. Actually, I gave it up early last season, and this from someone fanatical from the 60's. Working the next corner beyond Cevert in '73 at Watkins Glen, to Mansel passing out in Dallas, to jumping up and down in front of the teevee in the middle of the night watching MSC put on mind-blowing performances in unbelievable conditions and never once being remotely bored by his domination from Beneton to Ferrari. I've been in the room with Graham Hill, Chapman, Gurney,
Tyrrell, Jackie Stewart, Pedro, Siffert, Ickx, Hulme, Brabham, Peterson, Regazzoni, Mario and more, gods one and all. It brings many a tear to my eye to think of the history and greatness I've been priveliged to witness and now to see what it has come to. Yes I'll miss Alonso, Grosjean and others and I'll follow on Twitter, but basically I'm done. F—you Bernie, Todt and the "technical working group", thanks a lot, thanks for NOTHING!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Mark!You've been active in the sport a bit longer than I have, but much like you I've had coffee with about 2/3s of the World Champions. Meeting one's heroes is a pleasure and privilege accorded to all too few, and I will forever be grateful for that. That said, it makes the current debacle all the more difficult to accept. Great to see your words. Hopefully we'll be back – the sport has too much to NOT get back on the path!

Bravo Gary
You have summed up (and more) what every true F1 is feeling. What the hell is going on with F1.
They are doing everything they can to turn this beautiful sportbetween man and machine into an artificial, boring spectacle. Things like:
– Kers
– New Qualifying Format
– Quiet engines
– Race Fuel limits
– Bernies stupid ideas such as sprinklers on the circuit, he must of played too much mario karts.
– Selling TV rights to SKY, do they not realise your average young F1 fan may not be able to afford this. Whos going to replace the current generation of F1 fans?
– Lack of on-line availability
i could go on………
Living in the UK it is not in the least difficult to boycott F1 which has been lost by BBC now. I enjoyed reading your blog Gary long after any of my family stopped watching races. I wonder if the death of Bianchi will have the effect of reducing viewing numbers even more. My son, born in 1995 with no memory of Senna's death was far more shocked by this death than I was. He felt that being alive in a vegetative state was better than being killed outright for F1 as they could claim safety standards were higher than ever. It seems to me that the focus is now on making the cars so safe that the medical role has been devalued, which could be one reason why Todt et al have been able to get away with bringing in cronies with no trackside medical experience. I don't think that the Bianchis intend to take legal action but hope that eventually there will be so few spectators that things will have to change.
As usual,thanks Jane. You are likely right about advances in safety contributing to an erroneous impression of medical backup being less necessary. And I do agree that the Bianchis do not intend legal action, a decision easily understandable by all.

Might I suggest that we all use our new found F1-free Sunday afternoons – and the money that British fans, amongst others, will have to pay to watch F1 on television – to get out and support our local tracks and club championships? The racing is better, the participants – and those watching them – are there for the love of the sport, they certainly need our support to survive, and, best of all, F1's powers that be, ie: Bernie and CVC, don't get to pad their bank accounts at our expense anymore.
I think sports in general need a reset back to their grassroots where passion is the raison-d'etre rather than profit and marketing. There is too much money, too much ego, and too much greed for the pure love of the game to breath anymore. Get out to the racetrack and watch drivers who work on their own cars before jumping in and scrabbling around a wet track in hopes of taking home a dinky trophy and enough prize money to buy some tyres and get them to the next race. I can't tell you how much it means to those guys – and I was one of them – to look up on the spectator banks and stands and see people cheering you on after a good race. It still means a lot to me to think that, occasionally, I gave them a good show.
Wonderful comment. And so so true. Thanks ever so much for writing!

Try Hockey for Free Day Pivotal in Growth of Howard County Huskies
By Stephen Kerr, 11/17/18, 8:15AM MST
Record number of Try Hockey participants necessitated adding a second day in December
Since 1971, the Howard County (Maryland) Huskies have emphasized many of the components endorsed by USA Hockey and its American Development Model: cross-ice programs, sportsmanship, teamwork, and character-building. Their desire is to make sure every player has a chance to play at his or her skill level through recreational and Tier II travel teams.
The Huskies cover all of Howard County, which is located in Central Maryland. In its first year, the club had 45 players. This season, it now counts around 450, and just launched its first 12U girls team.
One of the biggest contributors to that growth in recent years is the success of the Washington Capitals, including their Stanley Cup championship last season. Through a partnership with the Capitals and USA Hockey, the Huskies have held Try Hockey for Free events for several years. Last year was their best turnout ever, with 65 participants. At this year's event, held Nov. 10 at the Columbia Ice Rink, those numbers soared to over 100. So many kids signed up, the club had to close pre-registration several days before the event. They created a waiting list, and will hold a second THFF event Dec. 2, to ensure every child who signed up gets to participate.
"It was great, because we were actually able to get two events out of Try Hockey Day," said Christy Dennis, a Huskies board member whose two sons play for the program. "It was the first time in our club's history we've ever had to do that."
Using materials provided by USA Hockey, the club initiated an aggressive marketing campaign. Board members and other volunteers gave presentations at area schools and youth sports clubs to promote hockey. It's one thing to persuade kids to try the sport, but the next step is to get them hooked so they'll keep coming back. Dennis estimates that 14 of the 45 players who registered for the Huskies' learn-to-play program came from Try Hockey Day, with more expected from the second event. Mike Donnellan, a coach and the club's director of player development, believes the culture of an organization like the Huskies is a critical factor in keeping kids interested in the sport.
"I really feel if you have 10 kids who go out there and try hockey for the first time, if it's organized right, 9 out of those 10 are going to want to do it again," said Donnellan, who grew up in Baltimore and played at the University of Massachusetts. "There's just something about hockey. Kids love putting the equipment on, getting out on the ice."
Donnellan speaks from experience. He played youth hockey in Baltimore, and first began coaching at the age of 22 after a thyroid condition forced him to leave college and stop playing. It took three years to recover, but he still believed he could play. The Nashville Predators gave him a chance, and he spent several years playing minor hockey before being invited to the team's training camp. Numerous injuries finally forced him to stop playing, so he returned to Baltimore and joined the Huskies in 2017. His mission is to not only teach the game to kids, but make sure they understand the importance of maintaining proper nutrition, stretching, and other off-ice training to prevent injuries and other health problems.
"There are so many young kids coming up that I hope never have to go through what I did," he explained.
When kids try hockey for the first time, it isn't unusual for them to have some trepidation when they arrive at the rink or step on the ice. Anticipating this, the Huskies recruited a large number of older players and parents to help the younger kids into their gear, and stayed with each one throughout the sessions. Six stations were set up around the rink, with three 25-minute sessions. Every player was assigned a coach or volunteer to rotate them through each station every five to six minutes.
"I didn't see any tears," Donnellan said. "Every kid had a great time. It was very manageable because of the numbers and support we had."
Along with teaching kids the importance of maintaining good health and proper on-ice training, Dennis says the goal of the club is to continue growing the membership and maintaining a positive culture. The club is also hosting a number of clinics to teach older players the finer points of the game, and younger kids different positions.
"We're really focused on the educational component, whether it's on-ice or off," Dennis explained.
