opening tip… Prince George's wraps up the 2017-18 regular season at home against Harford on Wednesday. Harford beat Prince George's in the regular season last season in Harford while the Largo program won the second-round battle in the Maryland JUCO Tournament on the way to the tournament title.
thank you, sophomores… Prince George's would like to thank sophomores Brian Ferguson, Kennith Ford, Paul Golder, James Hagins, Mykal Johnson, Tavon Ngangum and Gus Stone for their hard work and dedication to Prince George's Community College and the men's basketball program in an Owl program. The seven players along with women's basketball sophomores Aja Ceesay, Gina Seifert and Myanna Strong will be recognized on Wednesday night.
last time out… Freshman Shiloh Beale scored 14 of his team-high 18 points in a decisive 33-11 run to close the game to help Prince George's Community College rally from a 20-point deficit and earn a 72-65 victory against CCBC Dundalk on Friday. The Owls trailed 48-28 with 16:32 left and still were down to the Lions by 15 with 12:04 on the clock. The Largo team started to pressure the Lions full court and the Owls pounced with a 33-11 run in the final 12 minutes of the tilt to earn the victory and keep in MD JUCO Tournament hopes alive. Beale took over final 3:07 of the game by scoring 10 of Prince George's final 12 points in the waning minutes including back-to-back layups to give the Owls the lead for the first time and one they would not relinquish. The freshman broke through the Lions to intercept a pass on the Prince George's offensive end and converted a layup with 2:24 remaining to cut the margin to 65-64 and then scored in the lane off a CCBC Dundalk turnover to give the host the lead for good at 1:23. Beale shot 5 of 6 from the floor and a perfect 8-for-8 from the charity stripe to notch 18 points or more for the third time in the last four games and has posted double figures in four-straight games and seven times this season. Gus Stone added 16 points while Mykal Johnson chipped in 10 points in the winning effort.

EGPT is the only ETF choice for Egyptian equities. While the fund offers reasonable exposure to the space, access isn't cheap. The fund has acceptable median daily volume but very wide spreads. Coupled with its 98 bp expense ratio, EGPT's all-in cost is high. Political turmoil shut down the Cairo exchange in spring of 2011, forcing Market Vectors to halt creations briefly. Investors should monitor the volatile condition in Egypt closely. Still, EGPT delivers adequate coverage. Most of the distortions in exposure result from 1940 Act diversification requirements, which explain why the fund's sector breakdown differs materially from our unconstrained benchmark. The diversification rules also push the fund toward smaller firms relative to our benchmark. Given the on-and-off political unrests and the new political regime, investors should exercise extreme caution.
This measurement shows how easy it is to trade a $1 million USD block of EGPT. EGPT is rated a 1 out of 5.

'I'm dying inside': Mom speaks in court at sentencing of MS-13 member who killed her son
By Dan Morse and

Reporter covering courts and crime in Montgomery County, Md.

Foreign correspondent covering Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific.
The more Abigail Bautista tried to convey her pain, the harder it was to do so.
"I'm dying inside," she said Thursday afternoon, speaking to a judge inside a Maryland courtroom.
In front of her, 30 feet away, sat Leonardo Siguenza-Neiros, a 22-year-old MS-13 gang member who had taken part in the savage murder of her son and was about to be sentenced for the crime.
"He cannot be let out," Bautista told the judge. "I want him to pay for what he did."
Denis Montufar-Bautista's death in late 2015 shattered his mother's life. She struggled to recover in part by taking a defiant posture toward the gang — refusing to leave the neighborhood of Langley Park where she and many gang members lived. This week Bautista shared her story with The Washington Post, describing widespread fears among Langley Park residents over the gang, and detailing her own experience of paying them $60 in weekly extortion so she could sell clothes, shoes and other items out of her apartment and from a cart she pushed through the neighborhood.

Sitting at the sentencing hearing Thursday, though, meant listening to excruciating details about how Denis was killed: MS-13 members, under the guise of smoking marijuana, had lured him down a dark path just north of Langley Park. Then, next to a frigid stream, they suddenly attacked. Denis was punched, kicked and stabbed as he crawled to the stream. Then at least two of the gang members started picking up large rocks and chunks of concrete and slamming them down onto his skull. Denis fell into the water, where he died.
His mother spoke about him in court — how he wanted to study, how he helped her with a younger child. But the words became more halting, the pauses longer. She swayed in her chair.
"I just beg you to help me," Bautista told the judge.
Then she leaned back, seemingly unable to breathe, with those around her talking about her having just fainted.
Bailiffs quickly walked to her. Paramedics were summoned. The hearing was put on hold. But 25 minutes later it resumed, and a short time after that, Montgomery County Circuit Judge Cheryl McCally delivered her sentence: life in prison.
"This was a senseless, brutal, calculated slaughter for reasons known only to you and your gang associates," she said.
She spoke to Siguenza-Neiros about the way Denis had died — still alive in the water, ultimately succumbing to stab wounds to his torso, crushing wounds to his head and drowning.
"What I know is that this young man did not deserve to die feeling the pain of every one of those wounds," she continued. "He did not have the privilege of dying instantly. He suffered. You know that because you were there."
Moments earlier, Siguenza-Neiros had spoken briefly to the judge.
"I would like to say that I'm sorry for what happened to Denis," he said. "I feel remorseful for what happened. If I could go back in time I would do things differently. I'm going to be thinking about it for the rest of my life."
Siguenza-Neiros, born in El Salvador, entered the U.S. illegally as a teenager, was placed into the U.S. program for unaccompanied minors, and made his way to Maryland, according to authorities.

The hearing also addressed broader issues of MS-13, an international gang with ties to El Salvador that is responsible for gruesome murders in and around the Washington region in the past few years.
"There is a path of destruction that you and MS-13 have caused," McCally said. "It's beyond the pale of what any community can tolerate."
"We are in the middle of an incredibly violent crisis in Montgomery County," prosecutor Patrick Mays said in court. "A huge part of that is the presence of MS-13. [The gang] is terrorizing our communities."
He drew a connection between the violent murder of Denis and other homicides. This year, Montgomery County detectives found an MS-13 victim buried in the woods in Wheaton who had been stabbed more than 100 times, decapitated, and had his heart ripped out.
"MS-13 has clearly made it a point of sending a signal to our community that this how they want to exercise violence, this how they want to exercise control," Mays said.
After the hearing, Bautista said she was satisfied with the sentence.
"That's what I wanted," she said. "Justice."
She felt a pain in her heart, she said, seeing Siguenza-Neiros in court. She said she regained her strength because she knew Denis would have wanted her to.
"I know he's with me," she said. "And I'm close to him."
Siguenza-Neiros had pleaded guilty last year to first-degree murder in the case. His attorney at the time, Timothy Clarke, said he was acting on instructions from those above him in the gang.
"If he did not participate in this murder, he would have been the dead person," Clarke said.
On Thursday, a new attorney for Siguenza-Neiros, Gary Proctor, said his client did not play a central role in the attack. But he did slash Denis at least once, and he kicked and beat him, according to Proctor.
"The first time the police ever talked to him, he gave a full confession," Proctor said.

Ruth Negga makes a statement in leather Alexander McQueen on red carpet
Ruth Negga has quickly cemented her place as a red carpet darling and there is one label that knows that better than anyone.
The Irish actress can rock Alexander McQueen like no other and she proved that once again over the weekend in New York.
The Academy Award nominee walked the red carpet for her upcoming Netflix film, Passing, in a leather coat dress from the British fashion label.
The statement number featured a large belt that pulled the dress in at the waist. She added a pair of red boots to the look which she offset with a deep berry lip.

Her raven locks were piled at the top of her head into an intricate braided bun while she sported a new blunt fringe. She forewent any jewellery as she walked the carpet alongside Tessa Thompson.
While the Irish actress went for a modern aesthetic, the LA native opted for 1930s elegance in the white silk dress featuring a plunging black-lace neckline and puffed sleeves from Rodarte.
In the upcoming film, Passing which is based on Nella Larsen's 1929 novella, Tessa plays Irene 'Reenie' Redfield, who reunites with her fellow mixed-race childhood friend Clare Bellew played by Ruth Negga.

Both women can 'pass', meaning that they can pretend to be white in some settings in the racially charged society of 20th century America. While Reenie only 'passes' as white in certain circumstances, Clare has spent her adult life pretending to be white.
In fact, she even married a white man to the surprise of Reenie. The film, and novella, tells the story of the two women as they risk their lives in the process of trying to be seen as equal in a white-dominated world.
Passing drops on Netflix on November 10

At last, the witch is back!
Here's The First-Ever Bayonetta 3 Gameplay Trailer!
Finally, we've been treated to the first-ever gameplay trailer for Bayonetta 3. It's hard to believe Platinum announced this game four years ago!
Bayonetta 3 was first teased at E3 2017, however, we've never seen any gameplay. The best we got was the initial teaser trailer which was just a logo. The four years of silence even had some fans worried that Bayonetta 3 might have been cancelled.
That hair! ? pic.twitter.com/TEh7hltNMA
— Nintendo UK (@NintendoUK) September 24, 2021
Alas, we can now enjoy the first gameplay trailer for the third instalment of the iconic hack and slash/shooter from Platinum Games.
The new gameplay trailer opened with a military unit failing miserably trying to bring down a giant monster. However, when all hope was lost, Bayonetta made her triumphant return to save the day in the sassy, yet stylish way that only this charismatic witch knows how.
Godzilla would be proud!
Once Bayonetta had finished strutting her stuff, she worked her magic to unleashed a giant monster of her own to aid the futile attempts of the military unit. At this point, the trailer quickly turned into something from Godzilla: King of the Monsters.
According to the press release from Nintendo, Bayonetta 3 will have "new mechanics, including the ability for Bayonetta to directly control demons." Furthermore, Nintendo has promised further details will be revealed at a later date.
Bayonetta 3 will release for the Nintendo Switch in 2022. Are you excited by the first Bayonetta 3 gameplay trailer? Let us know across our social media channels.

One of the biggest fears of any modern day mum or dad, is the possibility of their kids being bullied at school or online. Study after study has shown us that bullying has long-term consequences we never suspected (including an increased risk for heart disease), yet a new study published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, has established that exposure to bullying can also cause major mental health issues such as anxiety, years down the track.
Researchers noted that although children are highly resilient, more support may be needed than we originally thought, since anxiety and other mental illnesses can not only wrest from their quality of life, but also contribute to the development of other diseases, including obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
Previous research had already shown that children who were bullied were more likely to suffer from stress related conditions (such as depression and anxiety) later in life. However, prior to the new study mentioned above, there was little evidence that bullying was the actual cause of these conditions. The new study involved over 11,100 twins, with results showing that once environmental and other factors were taken out of the equation, bullying did, indeed, give rise to poorer mental health outcomes.
The researchers stressed that there is much to be positive about, despite their findings. For one, the impact that bullying has on children's mental health diminishes over time – which highlights how sturdy children are. However, the findings also show that more needs to be done to support children who are bullied, to minimise the impact of traumatic events, and to help children deal with stress in a more productive manner.
Parents should be aware that the treatment can be affordable or free, and can consist of 100% natural treatments such as cognitive behavioural therapy, often complemented by natural stress relieving techniques (such as breathing and mindfulness) to lower stress hormone levels, greatly boost children's confidence, and help them feel more in control of their body and mind.
What are Signs that Kids Could be Affected by Bullying?
Signs are sometimes very subtle, so it is important for parents to watch out for frequent headaches, unexplained muscle pain, digestive problems, changes in weight, and frequent illness. It is important for children to feel that they can talk about their problems at home, so parents can help put an end to victimisation and ensure that their children have professional support if required.
Recent studies have finally revealed that bullying in itself is actually a cause of a heightened risk for anxiety and depression later in life. While negative effects are reduced as time goes on, help from a psychologist may be useful to give children an extra boost against any possible long-term effects of bullying.
Friday 15th December is Save The Children's Christmas Jumper Day!

Der U-Bahnhof Balard ist eine unterirdische Station und zugleich südwestlicher Endpunkt der Linie 8 der Pariser Métro. An der gleichnamigen oberirdischen Haltestelle kann zur Linie 3a der Pariser Straßenbahn umgestiegen werden, an der nahen Haltestelle "Suzanne Lenglen" zu deren Linie 2.

Lage
Die Station befindet sich im Quartier de Javel des 15. Arrondissements von Paris. Sie liegt längs unter der Avenue de la Porte de Sèvres südlich des kreuzenden Straßenzugs Boulevard du Général Martial Valin – Boulevard Victor, der zu den Boulevards des Maréchaux gehört.

Name
Namengebend ist die nahe Place Balard. Der Chemiker Antoine-Jérôme Balard (1802–1876) entdeckte 1826 das Element Brom.

Geschichte und Beschreibung
Am 27. Juli 1937 wurde die Station in Betrieb genommen, als der Abschnitt von La Motte-Picquet – Grenelle bis Balard der Linie 8 eröffnet wurde. An jenem Tag wurde deren alte Linienführung von La Motte-Picquet – Grenelle nach Porte d'Auteuil aufgegeben und dieser Streckenabschnitt der Linie 10 zugeordnet.

Die unter einem elliptischen Gewölbe liegende Station wurde von Anbeginn mit einer Länge von 105 m, ausreichend für Sieben-Wagen-Züge, errichtet. Sie hat drei Gleise an einem Seiten- und einem Mittelbahnsteig. Am Seitenbahnsteig können nur ankommende Züge halten, abfahrende an beiden Gleisen des Mittelbahnsteigs. Das mittlere Gleis kann in beiden Richtungen befahren werden, es wird in der Regel von den ankommenden Zügen benutzt, die dort kopfmachen. Südlich der Station schließt eine viergleisige Wende- und Abstellanlage an, nördlich befindet sich ein einfacher Gleiswechsel.

Zwei Eingänge liegen nahe der Haltestelle der Straßenbahnlinie T3a, beiderseits der Avenue de la Porte de Sèvres an deren Einmündung in die Boulevards des Maréchaux. Sie sind durch von Adolphe Dervaux im Stil des Art déco entworfene Kandelaber mit dem Schriftzug METRO markiert. Ein dritter Zugang liegt am südlichen Stationsende, er dient u. a. den Umsteigern zur Straßenbahnlinie 2.

Fahrzeuge
Trotz der Länge der Bahnsteige wurden stets nur Fünf-Wagen-Züge eingesetzt, da fünf Stationen der Linie 8 nach wie vor nur 75 m lang sind. Bis 1975 verkehrten Züge der Bauart Sprague-Thomson. In jenem Jahr kamen MF-67-Züge auf die Linie, die ab 1980 durch die Baureihe MF 77 ersetzt wurden.

Umgebung
Zwischen 2009 und 2015 entstand mit dem Hexagone Balard an der Métrostation ein spektakulärer Neubau des französischen Verteidigungsministeriums.

Myrtus Luma is the medium to tall hedge with real traditional style. A lot of people believe the only fast growing larger hedge with fine foliage is the Pittosporum. It is an extraordinarily versatile plant suitable for hedging, screening, topiary, or as a specimen tree, but its small, aromatic leaves respond so well to pruning that it is commonly used as a hedge.
Myrtus luma grows just as quickly as Pittosporums but has a deep green dense foliage that can be clipped to look like a large English Box. Chris calls it the "Plumber's Nightmare", as plumbers make lots of money unblocking pipes filled with Pittosporum roots, while Myrtus Luma has a very non-invasive root system.
Myrtus luma also makes a wonderful specimen tree if left unpruned. With age it forms an outstanding trunk with cinnamon brown branches. Its bark peels to reveal streaks of pink and beige. What a plant! It really should be seen more in Australian gardens.

The 2019 NFL free agency class is limited when it comes to Pro Bowl players, though we have to remember a handful of standout veterans will be released - thus adding more names to the open market.
It's not very often where a quarterback goes from Super Bowl hero and MVP to a new team in one year, but this is going to be the case for Nick Foles.
Los Angeles quarterback, Philip Rivers, is under contract for one more season, but their general manager is already letting it be known that he isn't going anywhere.
Trade speculation continues to ramp up around Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, but the 30-year-old Pro Bowler took to Twitter and thanked the fans for their support.

Oil company boss Josephine Wapakabulo quits
The Uganda National Oil Company (Unoc) board chairperson, Emmanuel Katongole, last evening acknowledged receipt of Dr Josephine Wapakabulo's resignation letter as chief executive officer, but said it 'has not been accepted yet'.
"The board will sit and discuss a way forward; we have a management succession plan, but Josephine is still working, she will leave after three months," Mr Katongole said.
Unoc is the statutory body mandated to manage the country's commercial interests in the nascent oil sector, including marketing of the country's share of petroleum received in kind, and to develop expertise in the oil and gas industry.
The company was incorporated in June 2015 and its body structure put in place starting with the board later that year, and subsequently Dr Wapakabulo, daughter to the former Speaker of Parliament, was appointed as chief executive officer on June 1, 2016.
But after almost three years on the job, Dr Wapakabulo yesterday tendered in her resignation to the board 'with immediate effect.'
Wapakabulo's remarks
"Chairperson, it has been an honour and privilege to work with you, the board, the staff of Unoc, as we set up and established Unoc to handle the state's commercial interests in the oil and gas sector.
"However, the time has come for me to focus on my family and new opportunities," Dr Wapakabulo's letter, read in part.
She similarly shared the same news of her exit from the lucrative national oil company to staff in an internal email of the company.
She, likewise, communicated the news to the Ministry of Energy—the supervising agency—top officials through WhatsApp messages.
She did not state the specific reasons for her resignation.


Facebook, the world's No.1 Internet social network, is splitting shares in the privately held company.
A Facebook spokesman told Reuters on Friday that Facebook will enact a 5-for-1 split of the company's shares, marking the third time Facebook has split its shares in its six-year history.
Part of the reason for Friday's split, said Facebook spokesman Jonny Thaw, was to help reduce the price of Facebook's shares, which have risen significantly in recent years.
Facebook would not say what price the company's shares are currently trading at in so-called secondary markets, where shares of private companies are sold.
With users at half a billion and counting, Facebook is closely watched by investors hoping to one day buy public shares in the fast-growing company.
Earlier this week, Facebook board member Peter Thiel told Reuters the company would probably sell shares to the public at some point, but not before late 2012.

Cassidy Conway Joins the Green Hill Team as Primary Therapist
By: Green Hill Recovery
Green Hill is excited to announce that Cassidy Conway LCAS-A, LCMHC-A, NCC has joined the team as a Primary Therapist for our Outpatient program. Cassidy conducts individual and group counseling for our Outpatient clients, helping them along their journey of growth and development through the Green Hill curriculum. In addition to counseling, Cassidy is actively working to expand the Green Hill curriculum to an online platform.
Cassidy graduated from Drexel University with a dual-degree in Psychology and Behavioral Health Counseling and received her Master's degree in Counseling from UNC Charlotte. Cassidy believes her professional calling for providing substance use counseling found her, rather than the other way around. While working in a hospital, Cassidy recognized for the first time a clear stigma against the disease of addiction in a medical setting.
Such experiences drove her passion to educate and advocate for the recovery community. Cassidy uses a person-centered, trauma informed, and systemic approach, adjusting her treatment plans to account for the individual life journey of each client. She finds the power of community and collaboration within counseling to be essential components of treatment.
Green Hill's Outpatient Director Brandon Robinson had this to say about Cassidy: "Cassidy is someone who sees recovery as a process and knows her role is to support that process, whether it goes forward or backwards. Her sensitivity, quirky humor, and creativity set her apart from other professionals, but most of all, her ability to role model how the female gender can influence and relate to young men in early recovery is paramount."
Check back soon to see our Meet the Team feature on Cassidy for a chance to get to know her even better.
Welcome to the team Cassidy!

Where the hell is charlie getting german combat manuals from? The extra universal channels on the dish, or is he just summoning combat books from other planets?
Looks like German, anybody care to translate?
I'm glad it makes sense to Ivan, 'cause it lost me.
"You do have some terribly unorthodox personal views..."
It looks like it's a pre-existing image, probably from a ww1 or ww2 era document. We might be able to get a complete translation if we can figure out which document it is.
hmm, jugding from the typefont, it is an old manual from somewhere during or between world war one and two. The text says: The shooting of (with) machineguns. I cannot read all the text because the english one is superimposed over but it deals with the proper laying of crossfires.
Avatar by Noip. Thanks again for that!
Enfilade: Direct a volley of gunfire along a line.
Defilade: Protect against enemy gunfire or observation.
Simply put, they're going to fall back to a position where they can fire from cover, and in so doing force the barbarians to break cover themselves.
Florist Julia Sterling has come to align with a shady side in order to avenge her father's kingdom.
The extra universal channels. It probably works like the internet. Maybe he carnied in some findamancy to make a Google-like feature.
pretty darned neat tactics (for erfworld) from Ivan here. If he could learn this well from listening to Charlie, I suspect he and Parson are going to get along swimmingly, lol. I wonder if Ivan will be able to help the Tool understand Parson better...hmm.
I suspect this is also why Claud's action figure had a Stormtrooper helmet. He has probably actually seen pictures of real German Stahlhelms.
Nice. I suppose it's even better to enfilade from multiple directions simultaneously, though being outnumbered will make that tricky -- and the lack of the Wrench in a bedrock tunnel would make it impossible to whip up an extra tunnel.
I've learned a bit of German, though I'm sure it's no Charlie-esque level of insight. I'll see if I can scrape up a few lines.
Das Maschinengewehr 08 : Auszug aus dem Unterrichtsbuch für die Maschinengewehr - Kompagnien / herausgegeben Friedrich von Merkatz.
Thanks! Found it online. The full manual is here.
...took me a second to remember that Stormtroopers have been around since way before Star Wars. "Let's learn something about war," indeed.
That first diagram has "zug" for "corner / nook," and "Kreuzfeuer" sounds like it'd be "crossfire." Bandaid already translated the title.
And the last paragraph's "ausführung" means "execution." I thought that meant in the sense of killing people, so I translated as many words as I could... only to find that it probably means "execution" in the sense of "getting the job done." More or less, that paragraph means, "the execution occurs in Images 27 and 28 -- specifically, always done in such a manner that the group of nooks stay next to one another and not where they'll act over the cross again."
...That sounds pretty much like what Charlie's diagram already shows. Go figure.
So if a blog is a web log, and Parson's klog is a book log, then Ivan's clog could be... Eh, it's late -- the best I can guess right now is "spec log" -- which could mean his spectacles, his specifications, or both.
...of course, a clog could have a more obvious meaning like blockage or a shoe, but Ivan's no plumber, and Claud is in no mood for shoes.

"If this is the case, it must be shouted/yelled to the company leader - before firing starts, if possible - so that he [covered] command (the verb, not the noun) [covered]"
"[covered] receives the command "Crossfire!" must follow it immediately. This is one of the few commands necessary for "Feuerleitung" (leading of fire? directing of fire? it's some old military term I don't know) that must be followed immediately.
The procedure will be done as in pictures 27 and 28, and always in a way so that the "Farben" (this means 'colors'... Unless I missread the first letter, but I can't make sense of it) of a "Zug" (a military unit, literally means 'train') remain next to each other and [covered] not cross again [covered]."
I'm pretty sure you got "Zug" wrong, though. As I said in my attempt, it means "train", but can also mean "move" or "turn" in a game. In this case, I'm pretty sure its used in it's military meaning though: A "Zug" is a unit of troops (don't ask me what size, no idea) - I think it would be a 'column' of troops in English? - and the diagrams show how these troops should overlap their fire while being position next to each other on a battlefield.
Vielen dank! I was using wiktionary and slipped onto the Hungarian translation of "zug" instead of the German one. Oops.
I assumed the one word was Garben (= sheafs?) instead of Farben, but those old-timey letters are tricky. Doesn't make much sense either way, but the rest of your translation is a big help, so thanks again!
...Now, let's see just how much of it Ivan really remembers.
I bet the walls with those firing holes are made of bedrock.

Moore, Oscar F.
Honor Award Induction: 1968
Moore served as President of the APTA from 1946-1948, which proved to be important growth years. He was credited with developing the mixed Scrambles or Jamboree, a format that gave the game much of its social overtones and proved to be very popular. Few people gave so much of their time and energy, or were so dedicated to platform tennis. (Fox Meadow Tennis Club).
Oscar Fitzland Moore IV (he refused to be called Oscar, hence the nickname Oz) was born in Jamaica Plains, MA and graduated from St. Mark's School, Southborough, MA, in 1923, and Yale in 1927. After graduating he worked as a stockbroker on Wall Street where he previously had been a runner starting at age 14, but decided to change careers during the depression and joined Johns Manville Corp. in their New York City offices.
In 1933 he married Mary (Maizie) Adair Childress (a member of the Childress paddle dynasty in Scarsdale, NY and Hall of Fame inductee in 1970). Soon after their two sons were born they moved from Staten Island, where Moore's family had relocated to when his father became Rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, to Westchester County and joined the County Tennis Club in Hartsdale, N.Y.
Largely because of Maizie's tennis prowess the family was urged to join the Fox Meadow Tennis Club, the Childress family's home club, where they encountered Blanchard and Cogswell and their new game of paddle tennis that was rapidly growing in popularity.
Moore served as President of Fox Meadow from 1943-1944 and won the Men's Tennis Doubles in 1948 with Dick Hebard and the Mixed Tennis Doubles with Maizie in 1942 and 1953. While he did not win any Platform Tennis titles at Fox Meadow he was a champion of the social aspect of the game and put mixed events on the map.
According to his sons their father's fondest memories of the game were securing many gross of rubber paddle tennis balls just before the severe rubber shortage during WW II, and being elected President of the APTA in 1946.
He retired from Johns Manville in 1971 as VP and general division comptroller and, with his second wife, Betsy, moved from Rye, N.Y. to Pt. Manalapan, FL, then to Madison, CT and finally spent his last couple of decades at Essex Meadows, Essex, CT. He died in 1998.

Q: What is the use of transistor in the input side in TTL logic family?
Second transistor will turn ON and OFF if input voltage is directly connected to its base terminal. Then why a coupling transistor is used at the input side of a TTL logic gate?

A: The Wiki page does a fair job of explaining but perhaps not enough.
Previous to TTL logic there was DTL logic which was Diode Transistor Logic, this would use diodes to AND inputs together and then the output transistor to invert it giving a single transistor multi input NAND gate which is the basis for much early logic theory.
As increases in speed were needed (as always) the time it took for the output transistor to switch off was causing slow switching and imprecise timing.  So the TTL input stage was developed.
It works using current through the Base Collector junction (in diode fashion) of the input transistor to bias the output transistor ON when the input is at least two junction voltages (the input BC and the output BE junctions) above common. As mentioned in the other answer in this state no current is flowing into the input.
As the input is pulled down it will fall below the input transistor base voltage and start to conduct, it will start to draw current from the collector faster than a simple diode input would because the vce saturation voltage can be below the vf of a diode.  The current flow that is used to draw the charge stored on the input-collector/output-base is the bias current (ib) of the input transistor multiplied by the gain (hFE) of the input transistor allowing the charge to be removed faster, switching off the output transistor faster giving faster speeds and now we have smartphones. The amount of current (pull down) required is the input transistor bias current and a spike when the switching from high to low initially occurs, this is significantly more than the current needed to hold an input high.  Conveniently it matches the output drive characteristics of TTL logic pretty well.
The convenience of this was that multiple multiple AND inputs could be added to a logic IC by adding more emitter connections to the transistors, this was very cheap in terms of chip real estate because it was no extra active components as such.

A: Because with it you don't have to worry about the amount of current being fed in, nor do you have to worry about shorting your positive supply to your negative supply (which also has to do with current).

Theatre Macabre
Professor Atticus Carr is accused of murdering a rich aristocrat he'd never met, in a place he'd never been before or traveled since, at a time when he lay sick with fever. But the evidence against him is overwhelming. Witnesses attest to the professor's attendance at the crime scene and to his exact description, down to the details of his famous goatee and wearing the theatrical clothes that made him a celebrity as an illusionist at the Theatre Macabre. Professor Carr proclaims his innocence and surmises he fell victim to a deranged doctor whose Trans-Aural Topographical Machine duplicated the professor's face, allowing him to abscond with the professor's identity. As The Reversible Man initiates more high crimes, how can Professor Carr exonerate himself before he's hung for murder?
In a sleepy hamlet in the country of Aquitaine, townsfolk have been abducted by daemons of the night. With his village terrorized, the Burgher of Suddenville calls upon Professor Atticus Carr of the Institute for the Investigation of Peculiarities to identify the nature of the night crawlers. Equipped with the latest instruments of his paranormal trade, Professor Carr delves into a mystery steeped in mythology. Answers lay in the origins of an ancient urn and with a mysterious woman visited nightly by one of the daemons. Can Professor Carr unlock a portal into another dimension and rescue the villagers before they are lost in the aether forever?
Harandon Hall has been besieged by the most dreadful poltergeist phenomena, occurring at the most peculiar time. Professor Atticus Carr of the Institute for the Investigation of Peculiarities, and his assistant Jeremiah Boone, must use all of their wits and all the paranormal technology at their disposal to purge the castle of its trio of dueling spectres. A classic ghost story brimming with horror, fantasy, and weird science, set in a steampunk world.
A dragon is eating the Queen's corgis. The problem is, in steampunk Britannia, there are no dragons. What is this monster? And where did it come from? When Professor Atticus Carr of the Institute for the Investigation of Peculiarities, and his assistant Jeremiah Boone, are called in by the Palace to investigate they follow the monster's bloody trail and uncover a secret that threatens the social order. Inside one of the royal residences is a laboratory called The Darwin Room, where diabolical experiments are underway to advance the theory of evolution. A story of mystery and mayhem in the steampunk London of 1872.
A young woman has disappeared. Her twin sister has seen her spirit wandering the streets. Convinced her sister is still alive and not a ghost, she engages Professor Atticus Carr of the Institute for the Investigation of Peculiarities. Together they visit an unusual psychic medium, Madame Jeanette, who specializes in 'traveling' - the peculiar science of 'out of body' conveyance. A séance reveals clues to the missing girl's whereabouts, setting in motion a desperate hunt for her abductor. What Professor Carr finds in a deserted warehouse tests the boundaries of the paranormal, resulting in a confrontation with a deranged doctor who collects young women's souls like butterflies.
To say the Theatre Macabre is not an establishment of considerable import, not just in Londinium but in the entire world of the performing arts, would be a crime of impropriety. And speaking of crime, the theatre has, on more than one occasion, been the site of murder and mayhem. This is one of those tales. A tale of intrigue and espionage, a tale of ghostly wanderings and magical interventions, rooted in a tale of lost love. With help from the aether, Jeremiah Boone, assistant to Professor Atticus Carr of the Institute for the Investigation of the Peculiarities, revisits a personal tragedy in the hunt for an assassin preparing to strike at the Imperial Family during a performance at the Theatre Macabre. Londinium is not a forgiving place. Far too often it embraces darkness like a long lost brother. Londinium is by no means a city one can take for granted, not for a single stroke on a chronometer's dial.
Paperback Edition:
Come with us my friends.
To a land of hope and despair,
whisked by the beat of the Great Mechanization.
To the cobbles of a city pumped with steam
and brazen with intrigue.
From the pomp of The Imperial Quarter
to the slums of Pritchard's Green.
From the furnaces of The Barrens
to The Theatre Macabre.
Bring your fear,
for overcoming it will strengthen you.
Your journey will be well guided,
by those whose skills
are the craft of the bizarre.

Sebastian Åris Petersen (* 9. Dezember 1995 in Viborg) ist ein dänischer Basketballspieler.

Werdegang
Åris gab in der Saison 2013/14 seinen Einstand in der höchsten dänischen Spielklasse, Basketligaen. Er spielte bis 2016 für die Bakken Bears, mit denen er 2014 dänischer Meister sowie 2016 dänischer Pokalsieger wurde und des Weiteren Europapokalerfahrung sammelte. 2016/17 spielte für den Erstligaverein Malbas im schwedischen Malmö.

2017 wechselte er zu den Svendborg Rabbits und damit in sein Heimatland zurück. Dort erhielt er wesentlich größere Spielanteile als bei seiner früheren Basketligaen-Station Bakken. Nachdem er in der Saison 2020/21 mit 15,8 Punkten je Begegnung zwölftbester Korbschütze der dänischen Liga geworden war, zeichnete ihn das Fachmedium fullcourt.dk als besten dänischen Spieler der Saison aus.

Im Juni 2021 vermeldete der deutsche Zweitligist Ehingen/Urspring Åris' Verpflichtung. Noch vor dem Saisonbeginn bat er um Vertragsauflösung und ging nach Svendborg zurück. Er unterschrieb im Frühling 2022 bei den in der kanadischen Liga CEBL spielenden Saskatchewan Rattlers einen Vertrag für die Sommersaison 2022. Vor seinem Wechsel nach Kanada wurde er Mitte April 2022 mit Svendborg noch dänischer Pokalsieger, erzielte im Endspiel 26 Punkte und wurde als dessen bester Spieler ausgezeichnet. In der Meisterschaft wurde er mit Svendborg Zweiter. Vom Fachmedium fullcourt.dk wurde Åris als bester einheimischer Spieler der dänischen Liga der Saison 2021/22 ausgezeichnet, in der Abstimmung der Liga wurde er zum Spieler des Jahres gewählt.

Im Juli 2022 gab der ungarische Erstligist Kaposvári KK die Verpflichtung des Dänen mit dem Beginn der Saison 2022/23 bekannt.

Nationalmannschaft
Åris sorgte im Frühjahr 2021 mit der dänischen Herrennationalmannschaft in der Ausscheidungsrunde für die Europameisterschaft 2022 innerhalb von 48 Stunden mit Siegen über Litauen und Tschechien für Aufsehen. Aber weder beim 80:76 gegen Litauen noch beim 91:90 gegen Tschechien wurde er von Dänemarks Nationaltrainer Erez Bittman eingesetzt. Im entscheidenden zweiten Spiel gegen Litauen erzielte er sechs Punkte bei 17-minütiger Einsatzzeit, verlor mit seiner Mannschaft aber knapp (76:77) und verpasste deshalb den Sprung zur EM.

Courthouse construction to begin in November
By Dustin Ensinger - densinger@aimmedianetwork.com

Designs for a new Delaware County judicial center are complete and the estimated cost of the project is slated to be $32 million.
Construction of a new, 62,295 square-foot facility – likely to house the Delaware County Common Pleas Court, the Delaware County Clerk of Courts office, Adult Court Services and Adult Probation Authority – could begin as soon as November.
"It really fits the community," said county Commissioner Gary Merrell. "I think it's an inviting building."
County officials expect to submit their site plans to the city of Delaware by Aug. 5 for zoning approval.
Once the plans are submitted, county officials hope to begin the demolition of the former Elks Lodge at the site in October.
The project is expected to be completed in April 2017.
County officials would like to complete the project as quickly as possible to avoid interest rate increases, which will boost the price of the project in the long term. The Federal Reserve has signaled that interest rates are likely to increase in the near future.
"We need to get this done as quickly as possible for that purpose," Merrell said.
The plans also call for the addition of a parking deck at the rear of the building.
Many of the aesthetic changes made by Silling Associates were done at the request of the city of Delaware's Historic Planning Commission, which opposed the demolition of the former Elks Lodge.
"We've obviously tried to work very closely with the city," Merrell said.
The building will also address the concerns of some court officials, who have said the configuration of the current courthouse often puts jurors, defendants, victims and families in close proximity outside of the courtroom.
"The detainees are brought up through the building in secure elevators," Tom Potts of Silling Associates said during a presentation to commissioners Thursday.
The Gazette requested a copy of the Shilling Associates presentation. However, it was not provided by press time.
The new building is just one portion of a $52.6 million facilities master plan designed to alleviate overcrowding and inefficiencies.
Delaware County's historic courthouse is also set for a major upgrade, including $8.6 million in renovations and $6.7 million in additions. The renovations and additions will bring the total size of the building to 56,300 square feet. It will house the juvenile and probate courts, along with child support services.
The plan also calls for construction of a three-story, 125-space parking deck on Franklin Street, $2.1 million in renovations to the Hayes Building and a $2.5 million storage facility at the Delaware County Jail.

State Department Dinner at the Kennedy Center: Our Ocean, One Future Event Hosted by Secretary Kerry
We are extremely honored that Iron Horse Ocean Reserve Blanc de Blancs was the toasting wine at last night's State Department International Ocean Conference - Our Ocean, One Future. The conference hosted by John Kerry brought foreign ministers, NGO leaders, and philanthropists to Washington D.C.
The occasion celebrated President Obama's a new measure just enacted yesterday, designating the first marine national monument in the Atlantic Ocean. The act will protect fragile deep-sea ecosystems off the coast of New England as the "Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument."
Secretary Kerry had much to toast with our bubbles in hand. He also acknowledged an earlier milestone - President Obama's creation of the world's largest marine protected area off the coast of Hawaii, creating a safe zone for tuna, sea turtles and thousands of other species in an underwater national park twice the size of Texas.
"Over the past several decades, the nation has made great strides in its stewardship of the ocean, but the ocean faces new threats from varied uses, climate change, and related impacts. Through exploration, we continue to make new discoveries and improve our understanding of ocean ecosystems. In these waters, the Atlantic Ocean meets the continental shelf in a region of great abundance and diversity as well as stark geological relief. The waters are home to many species of deep-sea corals, fish, whales and other marine mammals." - President Obama
With so much history making policy, there was clearly increased pressure to celebrate in kind. Chief of Protocol Peter Selfridge and State Department Chef Jason Larkin (see our past Chef Spotlight here) combined their finely honed diplomatic and culinary skills to create an impactful experience addressing significant global issues through food and wine. The renowned American chef selected to concept the menu was none other than Rick Moonen, who describes himself as a "godfather" of the sustainable seas movement. The four course meal was paired with all Iron Horse wines, featuring Ocean Reserve at the start.
We had the opportunity to speak to Chef Moonen about his starring role and he told us how thrilled he was to be selected as the lead for such an important event and how excited he was to continue making a difference after 40 years of championing the ocean, "My goal was to showcase our resources which need to be protected, creating a menu that reinforces the message … and represents the best of our seafood."
When developing the progression of the culinary experience, his first instinct was to leverage the fruits of our vineyards, naturally gravitating to to our 2012 Oceans Reserve Blanc de Blancs for everything it strives to accomplish in the mission of saving our seas … and for it's refreshing zest and creamy, rich finish.
2012 Ocean Reserve was paired with Chef Moonen's Thai Green Papaya Salad with Toasted Peanuts to open up the dinner. From there, he selected our 2013 Rued Clone Chardonnay, to go with Alaskan Sable Fish and Chesapeake Oyster Chowder. For the entree,our 2013 Q Pinot Noir was served with True North Salmon with Olive Oil Crushed Potatoes and Garlic Caper Sauce. Chef Moonen determined the red wine's firm and dry finish was the ideal way to round out the meal.
The menu also gave Iron Horse some additional, unexpected recognition, with a short history of the winery. This is the first time Iron Horse has been acknowledged in print on the menu like this, highlighting that our wines have been served by five consecutive US Presidential Administrations. The blurb went on to describe us as "one of the finest family-owned wine properties in the country and the top American-owned, sparkling wine producer in Sonoma County, " touting our 260 acre reserve in the Green Valley AVA of the Russian River Valley and celebrating our limited edition Ocean Reserve which dedicates a percentage of sales to help establish marine protected areas and global sustainable fishing practices.
The acknowledgement was deeply appreciated by all of us in the Iron Horse family. We are so proud of the coveted role we get to play in such historic events. It is something we think about with each vintage and look forward forward to continuing this relationship, and representing our country with the fruits of our labors! So today we're raising a glass to the Obama Administration, innovative Chef Moonen, Chef Jason Larkin and the ocean. Cheers!

With the gin renaissance now a truly global affair, we decided to catch up with the movers and shakers who are introducing gin to markets across the world. One of the key areas for brands is in the airports (ie. duty free or global travel retail) where opportunities for sampling, brand education and gift purchasing are all present on a daily basis. We met with Adriana Perez, Brand Manager (Beefeater, Plymouth) Pernod Ricard Travel Retail to see how her iconic brands were faring in this fast moving channel.
Gin Foundry – Adriana, thank you for talking to us and sharing some insight into the world of Duty Free and what you do. To kick it off, could you explain a little about your job and how long you have been in your role?
Adriana Perez – I'm currently Brand Manager for Beefeater and Plymouth, as well as other Pernod Ricard brands within the travel retail channel throughout Europe. This means I am responsible for finding strategic opportunities to activate the brands I manage; finding different ways of not only engaging with the consumer, but enhancing their overall experience and interaction with the brand, in the hope that their relationship with the brand goes beyond the airport!
Travel Retail is an exciting area and considered to be a "market" on its own. What are the biggest challenges to overcome for a brand like Beefeater?
Travel Retail is indeed a very exciting channel – I personally think it's a combination of on-trade, off-trade and experiential, which makes my job really dynamic. We create mini-events in a very restricted environment, which makes our jobs not only stimulating, but very thrilling as well! Beefeater London Sounds activation is the perfect example: it is a full pop-up experience which includes tastings, interaction with the brand through musical instruments, social amplification using an interactive Instagram wall and an opportunity for consumers to win a VIP Music Festival experience in the UK.
One of the biggest challenges for Beefeater is to be able to stand out in a very creative and dynamic category with players like Bombay Sapphire and Hendricks all being very active and investing a lot of money in visibility. For a brand like Beefeater, not only is it important to be visible but it is crucial for us to build brand saliency through a relationship with our consumer created by memorable and exciting in-store experiences.
You achieved this very well with the Plymouth Gin bar in previous years that helped educate consumers about the gin itself and dramatically increase sales over that period. Brand campaign aside, it was a great looking bar in its own right too. Any plans to bring it back to duty free or for Plymouth Gin to activate once more in 2015?
Absolutely! That bar is my pride and joy and I'm delighted to say that the Plymouth bar is currently in London Gatwick South terminal until the 11th of August. We updated the bar slightly, to enhance the maritime heritage that is so strongly linked with the brand. We are serving Plymouth Gimlets and Marguerites at the bar, with Plymouth brand ambassadors that not only create the cocktails for the passengers, but also talk them through the different botanicals of Plymouth Gin (which are also featured on the bar, in portholes – this allows passengers to smell the different aromas) and give them overall education on the brand and its history. On the 23rd of July, we had Global Brand Ambassador Sebastian Hamilton-Mudge signing his very own Plymouth Martini & Plymouth Gimlet books and interacting with passengers, which is key for a brand like Plymouth. Sebastian's Plymouth Martini & Plymouth Gimlet books are given to passengers as a free gift with purchase, exclusive to Gatwick passengers.
The Plymouth bar will also have smaller versions appearing in Manchester T2 starting the 29th of July and running through to the 1st of September and Barcelona T1 throughout the month of September, the brand's first activation in a Spanish airport.
Very nice! Do you feel like you have to try to appeal to a different kind of consumer given the transient (tourist travelers) nature of airports? How do you go about generating an idea that has to have such a broad appeal?
AP – Not necessarily a different type of consumer – it's the same consumer but with a different mind-set. It also depends on the airport – people travelling through Heathrow tend to be business travellers whilst at Gatwick they tend to be leisure travellers. Whatever the mind-set of the consumer, we have to ensure that we stand out and grab their attention as they are walking through the shops and terminals.
The London Sounds campaign has seen Beefeater London Dry repackaged with a vinyl wrap & a Geo-synked Spotify playlist. What was the idea behind the project and what do you want it to achieve?
The Beefeater London Sounds Limited Edition brings to life London's rich musical heritage through the distinctive visual language of a record and a record collection. Created by songwriters, artists and admirers, inspired by the world's most awarded gin and the musical style of the city, Beefeater invites the world to discover its own London Sounds. The idea behind the project is that Beefeater consumers are passionate about music and are eclectic in their tastes. It is how they express their identities and it shapes their conversations both on-and off-line; they associate with the creative spirit of London and its rich music culture.
Beefeater invites consumers on a vibrant journey through London's diverse music in a rich interactive experience that enables Beefeater's audience to discover the sounds, sights and stories behind London's globally admired music scene – all linking it back to London being an iconic city both for Beefeater and it's rich musical history. Through the partnership with Spotify, we have created an interactive map of London which becomes home to a library of fascinating stories, videos and interviews behind the most iconic London tracks, as curated by Beefeater. Tracks are pinned on the map, taking users to the most important places in music history. Each step of the experience is developed to inspire, guide and engage with the user's responses, who is gifted with their ultimate and personalised Beefeater London playlist. The user has complete control of their journey and contributes to an elaborate live user generated Top 10 chart of the ultimate London music of all times.
Do you have any further plans to work within music as an activation platform for the brand?
AP – Beefeater will continue to work with different platforms that strengthen the brand's iconic status of the ultimate London Dry Gin, whether it be through music, British heritage, fashion or the arts.
One of the prizes during the campaign was a VIP trip to a UK festival. People are travelling all over Europe to attend specific events now from Sonar to Secret Garden Party and so on… Do you go to festivals yourself?
I love attending summer festivals. I wish I could go to all of them; but Glastonbury is definitely holding the no.1 place in my 'Festival Bucket List' and hope to tick that one off the list soon.
Working in travel retail, you must have a wider, cross-European view on Gin markets. UK and Spain are known as big consumers but are there new markets emerging with a particular thirst for Gin?
Gin represents about 652k 9L cases in European Travel Retail (IWSR 2013) and is one of the most dynamic categories in our market. Premium Gin has increased by +4.1% over the past five years, Beefeater being one of the brands responsible for this growth.
The top five countries for Gin represent 74% of the total sales in TRE (Nordics with 21%, the UK with 22%, Spain with 16%, Germany with 8% and Russia with 7%). The UK is the biggest Gin market in Travel Retail, it is also where a lot of the growth is coming from; however, Spain is the fastest growing market and might possibly overtake the UK as the leader. Germany and Russia are two new markets that seem to be developing a particular thirst for Gin.
Beefeater plays on its London provenance, both figuratively (the logo and immersive activations like London Sounds) and literally (though advertising and brand explanation) – do you think this is the aspect of the brand non UK consumers connect with most?
Absolutely! Beefeater London Dry Gin is the World's No.1 premium gin and the World's Most Awarded Gin that was created by James Burrough in the 1800's. Beefeater is the only historic dry gin still distilled in London; so London is a huge part of the brand's heritage. Beefeater aims to inspire consumers through the celebration of its links to contemporary London. Still to this day, every drop of Beefeater sold throughout the world is produced at the Beefeater Distillery in Kennington, London, near the river Thames.
It's interesting to hear you mention links to contemporary London. When it was launched the Beefeater guards were an emblem for Britishness but today, as times of moved on they are less of a current symbol and slightly more of a pastiche of yesteryear. As flag bearers for London and "London Gin", do you have to do a lot of trend research into what is going on in the capital today and how best to represent that to a global audience?
Yes, completely! London is a fast-paced multicultural city and our link with the city means we have to adapt to its rapidly changing nature. Beefeater takes their trend research very seriously, which I personally think is best represented through the annual limited edition bottles we release – if you look at this year's London Sounds limited edition bottle it features a vinyl record player which is one of the strongest global trends at the moment.
Adriana, thank you for talking to us, it's clear that with all the activations going on Duty Free is an exciting area to keep an eye on in future. We look forward to seeing how it goes and checking in that little bit earlier to make time to visit next time we fly!

No hearing for Tom Wilson after another controversial hit (Update)
By Scott BilleckNov 30, 2018, 9:21 PM EST
(UPDATE: There will be no hearing for Wilson, per Bob McKenzie.)
The debate over the next day or so is going to be intense.
Did Washington Capitals forward (and resident bad boy) Tom Wilson deliver another dirty hit on a fellow NHLer? And if so, how does the NHL's Department of Player Safety navigate that minefield?
Wilson was tossed from Friday's game against the New Jersey Devils after clipping forward Brett Seney, who had just been stopped on a break and had retrieved the rebound, dumping the puck back deep into the Capitals' zone. With Seney's back turned, Wilson delivered the glancing blow.
To where? That's what will need to be looked at over the next 24 hours.
Here's the hit:
Officially, Wilson was given a five-minute major for an illegal check to the head and a game misconduct. There are several angles of the hit that can be seen. Some look like he caught shoulder, others look like the head was the principle point of contact.
If it's the latter, buckle in.
Wilson was already suspended this season for 20 games (later reduced to 14 through an arbitrator) for drilling St. Louis Blues forward Oskar Sundqvist with a blindside hit to the head.
PHT's Adam Gretz put together a quick rundown of Wilson's recent history prior to his 20 game suspension earlier this season — four suspensions in 105 games.
His first suspension came last year in the preseason when he was suspended two preseason games for interference on St. Louis Blues forward Robert Thomas. While Wilson had carried a reputation for being a physical player that played right on the edge, he had, to that point in his career, only been fined by the NHL so he only missed two preseason games. A very minor and meaningless slap on the wrist.
But in his first game back from that two-game suspension, he boarded St. Louis' Samuel Blias, which resulted in the punishment instantly being cranked up to a four-game regular season ban.
After going through the remainder of the regular season and the first round of the playoffs without another play that reached the level of supplemental discipline, he was given a three-game postseason ban (probably comparable to a six-game regular season suspension) for a hit to the head of Zach Aston-Reese, knocking him out of the playoffs.
A couple things of note on the latest hit: the hit was avoidable, which the DoPS pointed out in the video explanation for Wilson's 20-game suspension, also stating that he took a poor angle of approach, which seems to be the case again. It's a blindside hit.
You don't need the reminder, but Wilson is a repeat offender.
"The hitting aspect of the game is definitely changing a little bit, and I've got to be smart out there and I've got to play within the rules," Wilson told the Washington Post during his latest suspension. "And at the end of the day, no one wants to be in the situation that I'm in right now. I've got to change something because obviously it's not good to be out and not helping your team."
Smart has been one of Wilson's buzz words for a long time.
Everything had been going swimmingly for Wilson since returning from his latest suspension. His sixth goal during a five-game goal-scoring streak came prior to his ejection.
Wilson has seven goals and 13 points in nine games and appeared to be keeping his nose clean.
For what it's worth, Seney was able to return to the game.
Following the game, Seney told reporters that he wasn't totally sure where the hit caught him.
Brett Seney said Tom Wilson's hit got him in the shoulder and possibly in the back of the head. Happened fast enough where he wasn't positive. He went through the concussion protocol and cleared before returning.
— Chris Ryan (@ChrisRyan_NJ) December 1, 2018
Capitals coach Todd Reirden weighed in after the game.
Reirden was incensed on the bench when Wilson got the boot and appears he was still fuming after the game.
Reirden: "[Wilson] isn't even intending to make a hit. It's incidental contact, and he is following his defenseman down the wall, the player backs into him, he tries to get out of the way of the player, makes himself as small as possible, and there's incidental contact."

Washington plays their next game on Sunday afternoon, so George Parros isn't taking Saturday off.
