Sir James Clark Ross (* 15. April 1800 in London; † 3. April 1862 bei Aylesbury) war ein englischer Entdecker und Seefahrer.

Leben und Wirken

Als Sohn eines wohlhabenden Geschäftsmannes geboren, meldete er sich bereits im Alter von 12 Jahren freiwillig zum Dienst in der Royal Navy, wohl beeinflusst von der Teilnahme seines Onkels John Ross, der zu diesem Zeitpunkt als junger Marineoffizier an den Napoleonischen Kriegen teilnahm. Unter dem förderlichen Einfluss seines Onkels wurde er bald als Midshipman und Maat eingesetzt, und als dieser schließlich 1818 das Kommando über eine Expedition zur Suche nach der legendären Nordwestpassage und Erkundung der arktischen See erteilt bekam, nahm James als Midshipman daran teil. Auch nachdem deren Erfolg wegen einer Fehleinschätzung seines Onkels – er hielt den Lancastersund für eine Bucht – stark eingeschränkt geblieben war, nahm James 1819–1825 an mehreren weiteren Polarexpeditionen unter der Führung von dessen zweitem Offizier William Edward Parry teil. Dabei konnte er sich durch Tüchtigkeit und besonders durch selbstständige Durchführung wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen und Schlittenerkundungen einen Namen machen und wichtige Erkenntnisse zum Forschen und Überleben in den Polarregionen gewinnen. Er wurde für seine Leistungen zum Lieutenant befördert und lernte dort auch seinen langjährigen Freund und Vertrauten Francis Crozier kennen.

Nach dem Sommer 1826, den er zum ersten Mal seit sieben Jahren südlich des nördlichen Polarkreises verbracht hatte, nahm er 1827 an einer weiteren erfolglosen Expedition unter Parry teil, die sich stark auf die damals populäre Theorie vom eisfreien Nordpolarmeer stützte und das Ziel hatte, mit auf Schlitten übers Eis gezogenen Booten von Spitzbergen aus zum geographischen Nordpol zu gelangen. Die Expedition erreichte übers Eis eine Position nördlich des 82. Breitengrades, was einen etwa fünfzig Jahre lang bestehenden Rekord darstellte, musste sich dann aber wegen des ständig nach Süden abdriftenden Eises und angesichts des Ausbleibens des erwarteten schiffbaren Ozeans geschlagen geben. Ross wurde bei seiner Rückkehr zum Commander befördert.

1829 begleitete er seinen Onkel John Ross auf dessen zweiter, diesmal eigenfinanzierter Fahrt zum Nordpol, während der er am 1. Juni 1831 den damals auf der Boothia-Halbinsel liegenden nördlichen Magnetpol fand. Die Expedition saß vier Jahre lang vom Eis eingeschlossen fest, und Ross gewann weitere wertvolle Erkenntnisse zum Überleben in diesen Breitengraden, insbesondere über die Ernährung der Inuit. Nach seiner Rückkehr 1834 wurde er zum Post-Captain ernannt.

Als im Jahre 1835 besorgniserregende Berichte über eine Anzahl vom Eis in der Davisstraße eingeschlossener Walfangboote bei der Admiralität eintrafen, wurde Ross mit der Organisation der Rettungsexpedition betraut, die im Frühjahr 1836 in See stach. Die Walfänger konnten gerettet werden; dies jedoch war nicht John Ross' Verdienst, denn bei dessen Ankunft in der Davisstraße hatten sich die Walfänger bereits selbst befreit.

Südpol

Ross unternahm am 29. September 1839 mit den Schiffen HMS Erebus und HMS Terror, zwei umgebauten Bombarden, eine Expedition zum Südpol. Als zweithöchsten Offizier der Expedition und Kommandeur der Terror wählte er seinen Freund Francis Crozier.

Ross entdeckte am 11. Januar 1841 unter 71° 15′ südlicher Breite ein Land mit hohen Schneegebirgen, dem er den Namen Süd-Victorialand gab. Er benannte auf einer davor liegenden Insel (Ross-Insel) zwei Vulkane nach seinen Schiffen (Mount Erebus und Mount Terror), was angesichts Tatsache, dass einige der Schwesterschiffe der Erebus und Terror nach Vulkanen benannt waren, eine nicht von der Hand zu weisende Ironie darstellt. Am 2. Februar drang er bis zu 78° 10′ südlicher Breite vor, dem für lange Zeit südlichsten von einem Menschen erreichten Punkt. Hier musste er vor einer riesigen Eiswand umkehren. Anfang März wandte sich Ross nach Norden zurück und kam am 4. April 1841 wieder in Tasmanien an. Im November segelte die Expedition über Neuseeland erneut in den antarktischen Bereich, traf aber auf eine so hohe Eisschranke, dass sie nicht so weit wie im Jahr zuvor vordringen konnte. Er segelte daraufhin zu den Falklandinseln. Von hier aus startete er am 17. Dezember 1842 zu einem dritten Anlauf zum Südpol. Er war der Überzeugung, dass sich hinter der großen Eisschranke ein riesiges Festland befinden musste.

Ross wandte sich nun nach England zurück und kam dort am 4. September 1843 an. Am 13. März 1844 erhielt er die Ritterwürde eines Knight Bachelor.

Die herausragende Leistung dieser vierjährigen Forschungs- und Entdeckungsreise bestand darin, dass es der Ross-Expedition gelang, mit ihren Segelschiffen den Packeisgürtel des südlichen Polarmeeres zu durchbrechen. Ross hatte von der Reise des englischen Walfängers John Balleny die Information erhalten, dass dieser am 170. östlichen Längengrad bis auf 69° südlicher Breite vorgestoßen war und dort freies Wasser vorgefunden hatte. Es gelang der Ross Expedition am 9. Januar 1841, den Packeisgürtel in Richtung Süden zu verlassen.

Suche nach Franklin

1848 sollte Ross mit den Schiffen Enterprise und Investigator die verschollene Franklin-Expedition aufsuchen, mit der ihn persönlich unter anderem die Erinnerung an seinen Freund Crozier und die Mannschaft der Schiffe Erebus und Terror verband. Er überwinterte in Leopoldshafen und organisierte im Frühjahr 1849 mehrere Schlittenfahrten, deren wichtigste unter der persönlichen Leitung von Ross die nördliche und westliche Küste von Somerset Island (Kanada) bis 72° 38' nördlicher Breite aufsuchte. Wegen hohen Eisgangs musste er sich auf den Heimweg machen und erreichte am 27. September 1849 die Orkneys.

Ross wurde am 1. Dezember 1856 zum Rear-Admiral befördert. Er starb am 3. April 1862 bei Aylesbury.

Mitgliedschaften
1828 wurde er zum Fellow der Royal Society gewählt; seit 1852 war er korrespondierendes Mitglied der Académie des sciences.

Bezeichnungen nach Ross

Viele geographische Orte sind nach James Clark Ross benannt, unter anderem das Rossmeer, das Ross-Schelfeis (Rossschelf), die Ross-Insel, Kap Ross und die James-Ross-Insel in der Antarktis sowie der Mont Ross auf den Kerguelen im südlichen Indischen Ozean. Der Mondkrater Ross trägt seinen Namen zu Ehren von James Clark und Frank Elmore Ross.

It's difficult to wage a war without allies, and the War of Ideas is no different. Yet, capitalist defenders—free market intellectuals and wealth-creating business leaders—rarely seem to work together to defend capitalism. Might that be changing?
I came away with that hope from the Mont Pelerin Society's (MPS) latest global meeting, held last month in Miami. Launched by Nobel Prize-winning economist Frederick Hayek in 1948, the society has long been a bastion for that minority of intellectuals favoring liberty. And far from an insular economists' club, I noticed a high degree of openness to new ideas and approaches. Highlights included sessions with psychologist Jonathan Haidt and historian Niall Ferguson.
The meeting's general theme was that capitalism was a "good thing" and merited support. That's encouraging, but among that distinguished array of lawyers, economists, and think tankers, I noticed surprisingly few business attendees—at first. That intellectual bastion of capitalism seemed to attract very few practicing capitalists. Yet, as I've long wondered, how can capitalism be defended without capitalists joining in the fight?
That awareness led me to found the Center for Advancing Capitalism when I stepped down from the presidency of the Competitive Enterprise Institute. The Center's goal is to craft an alliance of intellectual and business capitalist champions to defend and advance free markets and the prosperity that they make possible. There have long been alliances of this sort favoring more statist policies—the World Business Council on Sustainable Development and the World Economic Forum being but two.
Yet, my initial worry at the lack of business participation dissipated during discussions, as I found others aware of their absence. Moreover, when I raised the alliance idea, a number of attendees were supportive. That encouraged me to search out any businessmen who might be present. I tentatively identified about 25 and sought to contact them.
Most responded positively, and agreed to attend an ad hoc meeting, with equal numbers of free market intellectuals and businessmen, to explore the value and challenges of crafting a global Thinker/Doer alliance. As a global alliance of free market intellectuals, the Mont Pelerin Society provides a recruitment pool for the Thinkers. Perhaps, we considered, it might play a midwife role to launch that broader pro-market alliance? The consensus was that it should, and we should work to make it happen. The group, tentatively titled the Global Enterprise Council, is intended to offset the current global dominance of statist Thinker/Doer groups such as the annual global gabfest at Davos.
There are many challenges to crafting that alliance. Economic liberals are largely isolated in a handful of universities and think tanks. Focus on tenure and writing papers does not encourage business outreach. Business leaders are often cautious about challenging their powerful regulators. And while all firms need to enjoy a positive cooperative arrangements with their customers, employees, suppliers, and investors, they rarely enlist those economic partners as policy allies to help defend their firm against political attack. Business leaders typically focus on achieving sustainable profitability, not on defending the system that enables them to thrive in the first place.
Yet, such an alliance is needed given the fact that economic liberalism in the United States and Europe is in decline. That is ideologically painful for intellectuals; it can be costly to business. Despite business opposition and intellectual arguments for free markets, the extent of government intervention in the economy has steadily expanded over the last century.
Capitalism had a good first century—roughly 1750 to 1850—as the material gains of economic growth were dramatically apparent to almost everyone. But with that success arose a reasonably wealthy middle class—and with it a cohort of intellectuals hostile to the market. That suggests that even nations where capitalism is increasingly popular, such as India, will eventually face a backlash against economic liberalism. Therefore, an alliance to counter global statist policies is absolutely needed.
The Mont Pelerin Society already pulls together classical liberal thinkers from around the world. Might they not invite a comparable group of free market business leaders? Perhaps before the next biennial meeting in 2018, MPS members might reach out to business leaders with an interest in economic liberty to attend the meeting to explore the alliance idea.
The Mont Pelerin Society is well placed to launch this venture. It is global. Its prestige promises to attract significant business leaders. And it is certainly a prime recruitment base for the intellectual component of the Doer/Thinker alliance. With little encouragement, a number of pro-market business leaders found their way to Miami. With effort, that number could be greatly expanded in time for the next meeting. It's time to get to work.

Sophisticated investments find their way to the Czech Republic
Monthly Newsletter - November 2006
AERO Vodochody plans to return to the ranks of leading aviation companies
Czech radar company sold
KOS WIRE LTD to invest nearly a quarter of a billion euros in Lovosice
GE Money already employs over 300 workers in Ostrava customer service centre
Ingersoll Rand to have pan-European training centre in the Czech Republic
Czech Republic seeks way to resurrect old industrial sites
The new owner of AERO Vodochody a.s. (AERO), the private equity group Penta Investments, wants to return the company to the ranks of the world's leading aviation companies in the field of aircraft production.
AERO is most widely known for its L-29 Dolphin (NATO codename Maya) and L-39 Albatros aircraft. Over 2,900 L-39s were produced and to date it is in use with the armed forces of over 30 nations. The latest military jet aircraft from AERO Vodochody a.s. is the L-159, which has been introduced into service with the Czech Air Force.
"We want Aero to resume its position among the top producers of aviation technology," says Marek Dospiva, a Penta partner. "At the beginning of the 1990s the company lost its traditional markets, even though the Aero brand had historically been very well-known. I am pleased that the government approved the privatization of Aero and that we can immediately commence its restructuring based on three priorities - aviation production within cooperative projects, construction of an airport in Vodochody and cooperation with the Czech Air Force". Penta is already discussing possible cooperation with a range of world aviation companies such as BAE Systems, Latecoere and Piaggio Aero, among others.
"There is a promising perspective ahead of the aviation industry in the Czech Republic. It can base its future on a number of previous successful projects, both civil and military, and on its tradition of leading-edge aircraft engineering. This is why it is important for companies like AERO Vodochody to get strong partners, who will help them stabilise their business and return among the world leaders," says Tomas Hruda, CEO of CzechInvest.
The new owner's first step will be the complete capital restructuring of the company, which in particular involves increasing the basic capital by approximately CZK 8 billion (approx. EUR 300 million) and enables further steps focused on business, marketing and operations. "We are convinced that the long experience and top technical know-how of Aero's workers, together with Penta's financial backing and our experience with restructuring, can put Aero back among the important players in the field of aviation manufacturing," adds Marek Dospiva.
In addition to supporting aviation production, Penta wants to also use Aero's existing private airport near Prague. The airport has hitherto served for testing new Aero products and is also used by Czech Airlines and other companies for, e.g., pilot training. Penta is planning to build an international airport in Vodochody, which would focus primarily on low-cost carriers and Prague-bound charter flights.
The aviation industry has a rich tradition in the Czech Republic, which is evidenced by such aircraft as the L-29 and L-39 from Aero, LET Kunovice's L-410 light transport plane and Blanik gliders, which are consistently the world's most utilized gliders, and Zlin sport planes from Moravan Otrokovice, which have won the world aerobatics championship six times
More about AERO Vodochody
AERO Vodochody a.s. was established in 1919. The company's main activities include development and production of aircraft and aircraft components, repair and modernization of aircraft and operation of an airport in Vodochody. The company is currently manufacturing the L-159 military jet aircraft, which is offered together with the L-159B complete training system, and the Ae 270 civilian turboprop transport plane. The cooperation division produces practically complete S-76C helicopters for the American company Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, gun-bay door assemblies for the supersonic F/A-18E/F for Boeing, B767 fixed leading-edge assembly kits for Spirit of Great Britain, and the C-27J Spartan central wing box for the Italian firm Alenia Aeronautica.
AERO's most popular aircraft is the L-39, of which more than 2,900 were produced. First flown on 4 November 1968, the L-39 served as the basic training plane for pilots in Warsaw Pact countries. Its rising popularity among private owners led, for example, to the introduction of a special category defined according to the L-39's parameters at the National Championship Air Races, which have been held in the American state of Nevada since 1964.
At the beginning of the 1990s, AERO introduced its next-generation L-159 light training plane. The company has prepared versions for the Czech Air Force as well as for the Egyptian and Tunisian air forces.
The latest models are the L-159A single-seat light combat aircraft and the tandem-seat L-159B trainer.

Girls Fight Back! | Book Review: Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu
Is it a part of a series?: No, a Standalone
Genre: Young Adult Contemporary, Feminism
Buy Links: Kinokuniya Malaysia | MPH Online
Source: Huge thanks to Pansing Distribution for providing me a copy in exchange for an honest review
Moxie girls fight back!
Vivian Carter is fed up. Fed up with her small-town Texas high school that thinks the football team can do no wrong. Fed up with sexist dress codes and hallway harassment. But most of all, Viv Carter is fed up with always following the rules.
Viv's mom was a punk rock Riot Grrrl in the '90s, so now Viv takes a page from her mother's past and creates a feminist zine that she distributes anonymously to her classmates. She's just blowing off steam, but other girls respond. Pretty soon Viv is forging friendships with other young women across the divides of cliques and popularity rankings, and she realizes that what she has started is nothing short of a girl revolution.
The story follows with Vivian Carter who has been living in East Rockport for her entire life. She is fed up with the boys in football team always get away with everything they do in high school from those who wear a shirt with disgusting words on display while the girls are always about dress code, giving nasty comments, degrading women and worse is school administration not doing anything about it. Hence, inspired by her mom's Riot Grrrl stuff from the '90s that she decided to do a Moxie zine anonymously for girls to stand up and fight back. Which I think that's super cool!
"This is what it means to be a feminist. Not a humanist or an equalist or whatever. But a feminist. It's not a bad word. After today it might be my favourite word. Because really all it is girls supporting each other and wanting to be treated like human beings in a world that's always find ways to tell them they're not." (Moxie, Jennifer Mathieu)
Vivian is a quiet and shy girl. She rarely speaks in her class, her grandparents have always seen her as a dutiful girl but because of those issues happening at her school, she decided to make a change by creating a Moxie zine for every girl and everyone can be a Moxie girl too. Although, she's afraid at first, however, she's slowly built courage to do more of the zine and there's nothing can stop her from doing it. Vivian is really passionate about to bring justice for all the girls and stand firm on her opinions and decisions.
Just so you know, it's been a while I'm at lost of words during writing a review because there are so many things to say here but I could not find the right words for it. I'm also afraid I might saying wrong or giving a wrong meaning to you.
Moxie has really lighted the fire in me and empowered me in every way it has. Moxie is about every girl should support each other and stand together for anything that been set against them. For your information, I have no idea what is a feminist before I read this book and I'm still learning what is it actually means.
I have to say that Moxie story comes out strong, address a real problem that does happen in our life, all the girls unite no matter what cliques you are in, whether you are a white person or a POC - they are all united (!), and also I like Seth's character on how he is still learning to understand the movement and how he is very supportive of the girl he loves.
All in all, it was an amazing read. I truly enjoy reading and literally excited when all the girls put on bathrobes for the purpose of the dress code check that school made only for the girls but at all means, I'm all excited when all the girls are united. It was great seeing how they support each other and fight together for the injustice that been put on them. I really recommend you to read Moxie.

From the beginning, Martin Luther King, Jr. was outspoken about the fact that workers' rights and the liberation of Black Americans were inseparable goals. Throughout his life, solidarity with—and advocacy on behalf of—working people was core to Dr. King's fight for justice.
The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, where Dr. King delivered his famous "I Have a Dream Speech," made that connection explicit. Throughout his speech that day, King noted how America continued to leave Black people behind both legally and economically—and how essential economic freedom was to achieving the promise of the civil rights movement.
"We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity in this nation," he said. "So we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the opportunity of justice." King's symbolism here, powerful and apt in 1963, seems perhaps even more relevant today, as income and wealth inequality between white and Black Americans continues to increase, in part because conservative politicians and corporate interests have systematically attacked the very jobs and workers that King fought alongside 50 years ago.
We can't forget that Dr. King died fighting for the right of public sector sanitation workers to make living wages and join together in a union. In April of 1968, King was assassinated on a trip to Memphis that he made as part of his Poor People's Campaign, and in support of the city's striking sanitation workers—mostly Black men who made the simple demand that they be treated in their labor with dignity, and like men.
King did not live to see the sanitation workers triumph, but their victory was a historic moment in labor history and in particular, the history of Black public sector workers' unions—one of the great forces of economic progress for Black Americans in the 20th century. Sadly, these unions and workers have been under attack in recent decades—a fact that the government shutdown has emphasized in stark detail.
The shutdown, the product of Trump's petulant and cruel demands for a border wall that will bring only harm, and now the longest government shutdown in our nation's history, continues to leave 800,000 federal workers furloughed or working without pay—and Black government workers are some of the hardest hit.
Two factors, both the product of corporations and the super-rich hell-bent on concentrating wealth in the hands of a (white) few, have particularly hurt Black public sector workers: Attacks on unions themselves, and the contracting out of government jobs that were once a major source of middle-class jobs for Black Americans.
There is no doubt that were Martin Luther King alive today, he would be standing alongside federal workers demanding an end to this despicable shutdown. We owe it to his memory and to America's government workers and contractors, who do critical work day after day, to do the same.
There is no doubt that were Martin Luther King alive today, he would be standing alongside federal workers demanding an end to this despicable shutdown. We owe it to his memory and to America's government workers and contractors, who do critical work day after day, to do the same. But even more importantly, we must continue to work to close racial wealth and income gaps, push the government to demand that its contractors pay their workers fairly and treat them with dignity, and ultimately, build worker power (especially Black worker power) and strengthen workers' ability to join together in unions. This is a tall order, but as King said, nothing would be more tragic than to stop at this point.
So on this Martin Luther King Day, as we remember a singularly visionary and fearless leader, we also recommit ourselves to the values he made so plain: That workers' rights are human rights, that economic and racial justice cannot be separated, that solidarity is essential, and that we cannot fulfill the promise of America until a check is finally cashed for Black Americans and Black workers.


The stars were aligned, yes. But they were dark stars.
I awoke, choking in the ink of the small hours, wanting nothing more than to be gone. Nights ago I had indeed tried to awaken myself with the crash of my softer than expected forehead against the of-course-closed French windows. Half-asleep and whirring, I had arisen from bed, gone into the living room, circled the coffee table like a downtempo mosquito and spun off towards the French windows, my escape foiled.
This night, the stars had locked into a pitch-black constellation of far darker import. Bathed in this black light, tonight, I bore a hell within me.
I heard a dog whining, limping, whimpering as if begging to be put down. I felt a tremor move the bed. But unlike the tremors that I'd experienced first-hand in Latin America, this one did not whoosh past me like a truck juddering past the bedroom window, no. This tremor began and ended with me. And the dog's whining began and ended with me.
I shook all night and cried myself to a cathartic emptiness. I awoke feeling bruised and utterly shattered. That night, I had returned to a hellish place of which I'd long thought to have seen the last: I had suffered a panic attack.
A child of frustration, exhaustion and the desire to simply leave: a sense of being trapped; a sense of having computed every avenue of escape and finding yourself cornered, defeated and yet bursting with frantic tics – again, I had returned to a place of absolute panic. And now I am ashamed.
I had thought myself into this place of bitter reeking. Days spent agonising over preparation, assessment, policy formulation – those days drew into me. Evening after evening spent meeting with parents – those evenings drew deeply into me. Weekends spent generating displays, weekends attending school events, weekends supervising on school trips – these all drew again until I found I had written a story upon myself which I would do nought but read.
And so I read what I had written upon my body every night: I would awaken in the ink of the small hours to read the lines and I would awaken again in the ink of the small hours to read (typical English teacher) between the lines, searching with feverish circularity for the evidence that would release me from my search. If I could find some pattern in this Voynichean script, unravel this enigma I had conjured for myself; if some grand system would only reveal itself and release me from this slow-motion fight; if only some well-done sum would miracle itself to me and release me from now nightly French window stymied flight.
This is the midnight hymn of a teacher in amber: too tired to move, too terrified to stand still; only flickering like a bulb in an open fridge in a too dark kitchen.
It hurts to write without hope, but it hurts more not to seek to push through despair. My long dark night has begun, but only so that it might end.

Answering the call is a Miami-based software company that provides Terminal Operating Software (TOS)."

Athletics Roundup: Basketball, Swimming, Tennis, Spring Openers
The University of San Diego men's basketball team will seek its first West Coast Conference win streak this Saturday when it hosts Santa Clara in a Saturday afternoon match-up in the Jenny Craig Pavilion.
January and the start of WCC play has not been kind to the Toreros, who opened with five straight losses to Loyola Marymount (64-58), Santa Clara (80-63), Gonzaga (94-50), Pepperdine (85-78) and BYU (93-70). The Toreros finally got into the WCC win column on Jan. 18, its most recent game, winning 77-67 at Portland.
In the triumph, Jared Rodriguez scored 17 points, Joey Calcaterra had 16 and Yauhen Massalski tied his career-high in rebounds with 14 — he also had nine points — to lead San Diego. Braun Hartfield added 13 points and Finn Sullivan had 10 for the Toreros.
Following that win, San Diego's 3 p.m. hosting of Santa Clara on Saturday will complete their regular-season series and it will also complete a doubleheader day as the USD women's basketball team hosts San Francisco at noon.
The win over Portland improves USD's season record to 8-13 and 1-5 in conference.
Men's Basketball Schedule: USD hosts Santa Clara, Saturday, 3 p.m., Jenny Craig Pavilion.
Since a split of its first two games in West Coast Conference play in late December, the women's basketball team has won three of its last five in January for a 4-3 WCC record and 10-8 overall.
The women's team is currently riding a two-game win streak with road victories at Saint Mary's (72-54) on Jan. 16 and a narrow 66-64 triumph over Pacific on Jan. 18.
Jordyn Edwards and Myah Pace each had 18 points to lead the Toreros to the win at Saint Mary's. Edwards added six rebounds and three steals. Pace chipped in with four assists and two steals. Leticia Soares added 12 points and three steals coming off the bench. Against Pacific, Edwards led the way with 19 points and got offensive support from Patricia Brossmann (13 points), Pace (10) and Sydney Hunter (10).
The Toreros are home this weekend for two noon game starts on Thursday vs. Santa Clara and Saturday vs. San Francisco.
Women's Basketball Schedule: USD hosts Santa Clara, Thursday, Noon, (Kids Day Out), Jenny Craig Pavilion; USD hosts San Francisco, Saturday, Noon, (Family Day), JCP.
Women's Swimming and Diving
With eight wins and 24 top-three finishes, the San Diego swim and dive team won the 2020 West Coast Conference Cup against Pepperdine and LMU this past weekend in Los Angeles. The Toreros finished with 363.5 points to beat Pepperdine (286.5) and LMU (171).
Sophomore Alexa Phillips helped power the Toreros with two first-place finishes while freshman Callie Johnson won 100-yard breaststroke (1:06.50) and finished second in the 400-yard IM and 200-yard breaststroke. Phillips and Johnson also helped USD win the 200-yard and 400-yard IM Relay.
Other top USD finishes included freshman Sam Eason in the 100-yard butterfly (59.22), sophomore Sabrina Firnett in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:27.63), and junior Maeve Murdoch in the 200-yard butterfly (2:10.05).
The Toreros finished day one strong with a 15-point advantage thanks to a one-two finish by Phillips (24.39) and sophomore Haley Ohlson (25.07) in the 50-yard freestyle. In total, USD captured 23.5 points in the penultimate race. In the last event of the first day, the USD relay teams earned second and third in the 800-yard freestyle to match Pepperdine in points (26) after the Waves finished first and fifth.
After a second and third finish in the first event of day two – the 200-yard freestyle relay – Eason (59.22) edged out LMU's Mikayla Tseng (59.39) in the 100-yard butterfly by 11 hundredths of a second for the win. Murdoch went 59.61 to finish third.
The close win by Eason was not the Toreros' only narrow victory on day two. Phillips won the 100-yard freestyle by 13 hundredths of a second, swimming 53.65 in the finals. She was ahead of runner-up Nohea Lileikis of Pepperdine (53.78).
The Toreros earned big points in several day two races. USD had 25 points each in the 200-yard breaststroke and 200-yard butterfly while also capturing 21 in the 1,650-yard freestyle. In the long-distance race, Anna Luckenbach, Sam Terranova and Rachael Tucker finished second, third and fourth, respectively.

Danby tests their products on a regular basis to ensure that their cooler are top notch. If you are new to collecting or saving wine there is a good chance you don't know how to properly store your wine bottles. Different wines must be kept at certain temperatures to maintain their quality.
If you are just starting out you should go with a smaller cooler. A small cooler can hold up to sixteen wine bottles and it will give you a chance to learn how everything works. You can read the following Best Wine Coolers Reviews of 2017 for latest product reviews of top notch products.
If you let wine sit out it will go bad. When it comes to storing wine temperature is the most important aspect. That's why all Dandy wine coolers are temperature controlled.
This model can house up to 12 bottles of wine, which may make it perfect for the home owner who wants a smaller sized version. This may not be large enough for a major restaurant, since you will need to be continually replacing fresh bottles for your guests.
But for its size, it does an effective job of cooling the bottles inside. It would fit perfectly on the counter space of anyone's kitchen or dining area.
The design of the cooler looks very sleek and modern, which would make it feel right at home in some contemporary designs. The model has a fairly silent motor to it, which will be good for guests who don't want to hear an obnoxious cooler.
It will likely keep at a noise level that is lower than your refrigerator. It also has a very stylish blue LED light inside, which will make it a great addition to the decor of your modern kitchen.
Additionally, this model will do an effective job at cooling off your wine bottles quickly. It only has one cooling unit for the box frame, but that should be more than enough to cool down all the wine bottles simultaneously.
This would be a great buy for anyone wanting a home wine cooler.
Some buyers may want to get a moderately sized wine cool so they can store a wider variety of products at once. This may be ideal for small bar owners or wine bottlers who will only be serving a few guests at a time throughout the night.
The unit is still relatively small, so owners won't have to worry about it taking up valuable space in the store.
A major advantage of this model is that it provides an interior light, which can illuminate the bottles well enough to see the labels. However, it is an LED blue light. This means that it won't emit heat like a typical incandescent bulb would.
Many users will appreciate this, because it will allow the bottles to become chilled thoroughly and evenly.
The design of this model is also quite modern, which will fit in with many contemporary bar settings. It has a clear glass door that will allow its users to see straight through to the labels inside.
There is also a handy locking mechanism that can prevent thefts from occurring.
This is a top of the line model that will house up to 75 bottles of wine. The amount of storage provided by this model would be perfect for large restaurants that have many guests requesting vintage bottles during their meals.
The container is quite large, so it may be too much for a typical home owner to have in their house. But it will fit easily into the kitchen or bar area of a large restaurant.
One downside to this model is that it only has a single cooling unit. This is fine for the smaller wine cooler products, but here it may be insufficient. Bottles that are closer to the cooling unit will naturally get colder much quicker than those that are far away from it.
Ultimately, these products give a nice spectrum of wine cooling options to many different consumers out there. Think about what you need these wine coolers for before you make a final purchase decision.
You may want to research additional technical specifications before you settle on one model or another. But overall, the Danby wine cooler products will provide stylish and effective ways for consumers to enjoy cold bottles of wine.
Now before you purchase a Dandy wine cooler it is a good idea to speak with someone who has knowledge about the different styles of wine cooler brands. You want to make sure you get a cooler that can not only meet your current needs but your needs in the future as well.
As a wine collector having the right wine cooler is very important. You don't want it to be too big or too small.
That's why it is a good idea to speak to someone who has extensive knowledge about Dandy wine coolers. They will be able to help you pick the right cooler for your situation. By picking the right cooler you will ensure your wine stays cool and safe for a long time to come.
Wine is a great social or family drink which can be had both with and after dinner. There are so many blends or natural flavors available along with a great variety of wine that you are sure to find a wine to suit your personal taste and preference.
Wine is also known to be good for health and that is one of the reasons that its popularity is growing. At the same time, it has also become a trend to keep some wine handy at home for a special occasion or the afternoon barbeques.
In order to store your wine properly, you need to choose a good quality wine cooler and a Danby wine cooler would be the best choice.
If you are planning to start a wine collection of your own or want to become an expert in art of the winery, Danby wine coolers will be a great help to store your wine at the right temperature.
There are several things to consider when you are buying a Danby wine cooler.
a) Usually you may think of buying a small cooler to suit your current collection that is small, but it is advisable to buy a cooler that is twice the size that you think you need.
b) It is important to consider the material of the cooler. It is better to opt for a cooler with aluminum interior rather than a plastic one, because it will provide more insulation.
Danby wine coolers are available in such a wide range that whether you want to buy a cooler for social drinking or for long term storage of wine, you will find the right cooler to suit your needs very well.
While storing wine, humidity and temperature are the two things that you need to consider. Preferably wine should be kept at 55 degree Fahrenheit and a humidity level between 50-70%. This will provide the best taste to the wine.
Because of these control measures that you need to take it is better that you choose a Danby Wine Cooler with a solid door. It is true that a glass door will look good and show off your bottles, but it will provide for less insulation and hence the quality of storage will also be low.
Danby wine coolers are known for their excellent quality. They provide excellent insulation and quality control and at the same time they have a sleek design which will look good in your home. Danby wine coolers are also designed to fit under the counter tops.
This saves space while giving you easy access to your wine which you can enjoy anytime.
Danby realizes the problem that glass doors present, hence they use modified glass on every Danby wine cooler with a glass door. This not only provides better insulation than regular glass but also keeps out the UV rays which might heat the wine.
These coolers are easy to use and require low maintenance. Hence Danby wine coolers are the best choice for storing wine for consumption.
Many wine connoisseurs will want to know how they can cool down a few bottles for their guests before a dinner. Some restauranteurs may also need a larger cooler to keep multiple bottles chilled at once.
For these different needs, Danby wine cooler products can fill the niche nicely. They are a reliable producer of these machines, and have been for years now. Many wine bottlers have used them to professionally chill their products for wine sampling events and guests who just want a cold bottle.
This article will review some of the different models that are out there. Each one may be more suitable for different consumers, so make sure you research which one might be best for you.
There is an LED light that will come on anytime the door to the cooler is opened. The light does not warm the cooler so the temperature can change when you open the door.
The small Danby wine coolers can sit nicely on a counter top or table. And with the temperature control feature you can keep the wine chilled at the perfect temperature. And by placing each bottle in a rack air will be able to flow evenly around the bottles keeping them at a constant temperature.
As your collection grows you can get a bigger cooler. They come in a variety of different sizes so you should have no problem finding the size you need.
One thing you should know is that bigger coolers come with more options. For example, the Danby wine cooler that can hold between 65 and 200 wine bottles has the same conveniences as a wine cellar.
It offers a dual temperature control that allows you to keep both red and white wine in the same cooler safely. The larger Dandy wine coolers also have a built in locking mechanism, frost free forced cooling, separate regulators and so much more.
It is the perfect wine cooler for the serious wine collector.

PREDICTION OF BOILING HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS FOR MINI-CHANNELS
Yuichi Sei*, Koji Enoki, Seiichi Yamaguchi, Kiyoshi Saito
School of Fundamental Science and Engineering
Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been widely used across many fields. However, few studies have focused on the use of AI techniques for predicting heat transfer coefficients regardless of single-phase or two-phase flows. The applicability of deep neural networks [(DNNs), also known as deep learning], one of the most promising AI techniques, to horizontal-flow boiling heat transfer in mini-channels is being actively researched. The effect of surface tension in mini-channels is significant in comparison to that in conventional large tubes, and the heat transfer mechanism in the mini-channels is complicated. Thus, the accuracy of the prediction results based on existing studies is not satisfactory. Moreover, we cannot determine the uncertainty of the predicted heat transfer coefficients by using existing approaches. In this study, we propose a novel prediction mechanism, based on the combination of a DNN and Gaussian process regression, that can predict not only heat transfer coefficients with high accuracy but also the uncertainties of the predicted heat transfer coefficients. We refer to this new research field, which integrates thermal engineering and informatics, as thermoinformatics, and consider the scope of its future development.

BOB MARLEY'S LONDON HOME AWARDED BLUE PLAQUE
October 3, 2019 By Roland Lundberg
A blue heritage plaque honoring Bob Marley was unveiled Oct 01 at the London address where he and his band The Wailers lived and recorded in 1977.
While living at 42 Oakley Street in Chelsea, Marley and his bandmates Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh finished recording their album Exodus, which featured tracks including "Jamming", "Three Little Birds" and "One Love".
The plaque had been in the planning process for a long time, because Marley was not registered in phone directories or electoral registers – an issue which is common among historical figures of colour. Out of more than 900 blue plaques across London, only 4% are dedicated to black and Asian individuals.
In 2015, English Heritage, which manages more than 400 historic buildings and cultural sites across the country, established a working group to reinvestigate the addresses of noted ethnic minority figures.
Research by English Heritage revealed a court record of Marley's arrest for cannabis possession in 1977. Though he gave a different address, it is speculated that Marley did so to prevent the police from searching the house in Oakley Street – where his bandmates were staying – for drugs.
Other anecdotal reports from witnesses suggested the house was the band's headquarters and Marley's primary address. The plaque was unveiled by Rastafarian writer and poet Benjamin Zephaniah and introduced by historian and broadcaster David Olusoga, who is also a blue plaque panel member.
Zephaniah, said:
It's very difficult to say what Bob Marley would have said about this plaque, but he did once say, 'Live for yourself, you will live in vain, live for others, and you will live again', so I'm quite sure he would say that this is for his people and his music.

Where Are The Best Places in the World To Play Roulette?
Online roulette can be a thrilling treat, especially if you play with a live dealer.
Most people, however, want to experience the thrill of playing in a real, brick-and-mortar casino at least once in their lives.
If you are going to spend the time and money to play roulette in a traditional casino setting, you should really go all out to make it a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Las Vegas is home to some of the top casinos in the world, including the ARIA, Bellagio and more.
Trips to Las Vegas are going to be considerably cheaper than the two options listed later in the article, though there is less to do outside of the casinos. In Las Vegas, you will likely find yourself not wanting to step outside due to the hot desert air and lack of surrounding landmarks to check out.
If you are going to Las Vegas, I would suggest a shorter trip - no more than a week.
An absolutely beautiful part of the world, and there is plenty of beauty to check out in the surrounding area.
The downside to Monte Carlo is that it is harder to get to if you are located in North America.
The upside is that you can easily spend weeks in the area and not run out of things to do.
Monte Carlo is a very wealthy and safe area, so you will be much safer walking around at night compared to a location like Las Vegas.
A very opulent set of casinos that are almost entirely dedicated to the comfort of their patrons.
Macau likely features the best food in the world of any of the major casino locations, and the amenities are out of this world.
The upsides, however, likely outweigh the downsides, as Macau is truly majestic and worth the trip.
If you are a true lover of casinos, you should try to make plans to visit at least one of these cities in your lifetime.

It was a running joke, repeated by several of the speakers at the Chester County Republican Convention last Thursday in Chester.
It was told in several different forms, but it always involved a telephone booth — the imaginary telephone booth that was at one time considered large enough to hold all Republicans active on the local level.
Paul Clarkson, who organized the Chester County Republican Party between 1968 and 1970, told the telephone booth joke many times over the years. But at the local GOP convention last week, the joke became a badge of honor as local Republicans and visiting GOP leaders from the state applauded themselves for their growth — the evolution of a telephone booth crowd not many years ago to one large enough to fill the banquet room of Pundt's Restaurant.
"The phone booth has gotten bigger," said Tommy Windsor, the chairman of the GOP Party in Lexington County in a speech aimed at getting local Republican delegates to support his candidacy for chairman of the state GOP Party.
Clarkson, who served as chairman of the Republican Party here from its inception to 1998, received a standing ovation for his devotion to the party from the crowd of about 70 people. Those in attendance included the majority of the 50 Chester County precinct delegates who organized a precinct meetings last month, as well GOP leaders who seeking posts in the state Republican Party and a candidate or representatives of candidates seeking elective offices in the state next year.
State Rep. Greg Delleney of Chester, who was introduced to the crowd by Clarkson, received a standing ovation, too. It was his first time attending the Chester County Republican Convention.
Delleney, who was first elected to the House in 1990, switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party this year. Clarkson showed his appreciation of the move to his political party by presenting Delleney a limited-edition elephant mug, made by the National Republican Women.
Delleney introduced keynote speaker David Wilkins, the Greenville Republican who is Speaker of the House. He praised Wilkins, saying no one in the House has done more for him than Wilkins.
Wilkins expressed delight in the size of the crowd at the local convention.
In his speech, Wilkins returned compliments to his House colleague, saying Delleney's switch to the Republican Party took courage and conviction and that Chester County voters deserve thanks for sending him to the State House. "I tell you, Greg Delleney has everybody's respect in Columbia," he said.
He said Republicans need to work together to return a GOP candidate to the governor's seat next year. Another goal should be to increase the Republican majority in the state House and Senate, he said.
In addition to Tommy Windsor, who is seeking the chairmanship of the state Republican Party, others speakers included Cyndi Mosteller of Charleston, who is also seeking that post, and Mark Hammond, the current clerk of court for Spartanburg County and a candidate for Secretary of State. Representatives of GOP governor candidates Mark Sanford, Andre Bauer and Robert Peeler also spoke at the convention.
Those elected officers at the convention were: Melvin Croft for a second term as chairman; Becky Delleney as first vice-chairwoman; Lawrence Shuler as secretary; Linda Weatherall as treasurer; and Paul Clarkson at state executive committeeman.
The 16 delegates to the state convention elected were: Paul Clarkson, Melvin Croft, Becky Delleney, Jodie Hodge, Howard Hodge, Larry Powell, Jim Reinhardt, John Welborn, Pat Dixon, Bob McWatters, Frank Ferguson, Linda Weatherall, Greg Delleney, Danny Bailey, Joyce Clarkson and Major Thompson.
Jo Darby and Tot Kennedy were elected alternate delegates to the state convention.

I love that they both are little explores and that the weather is getting nicer out to let them spread their wings. Pictures are adorable. Love the lighting on her photo. Just fab. They both look like curious little soldiers I love it. I can't wait till Missy Moo can walk and me and the kids can go on more outdoor adventures. She isn't a fan of sitting in the stroller very long. lol Lovely post.
Oh they're both such gorgeous photos, especially the very grown up looking Beautiful Girl! I'm so glad too that BB's moved on to the next phase and into calmer waters!
The BG is looking more and more gorgeous every week. I haven't seen her in so long, I can't believe she is talking now!
What lovely photos of each of them. Great capture of the light behind her.
I can't believe what a difference the weather has made to everyone's moods around here. We've all been getting on much better and are itching to get outside everyday, I only hope it continues:) I agree, beautiful light, skilfully captured.
Ah how lovely that you're in a good phase! I hope it lasts a good whole for you.

Liveability Prize Brains Award 2017
We're becoming part machine, part human, should we be worried?
You are here: Home Portfolio 2017 June 2017 Liveability Prize Brains Award 2017
Liveability Prize Brains Award 2017 for Guardian
On 14 June the finale of the Brains Award took place in the Muziekgebouw in Eindhoven; the annual contest that challenges Eindhoven students (intermediate/higher vocational education and academic education) to come up with and present innovative, creative and socially relevant ideas or products. No less than 20 contestants took part in the contest and passionately pitched their ideas to the audience. Eventually Fontys ICT & Business student Steve Thijssen won the Liveability Prize Brains Award 2017. This prize (a cheque worth 3000 euros) allow him to further develop his concept Guardian. Time for an in-depth interview with this enterprising student!
How did you end up being nominated for the Brains Award 2017?
I saw a call to participate in the Brains award on Facebook. It's a fun contest that allows you to present your concept to a large audience. I enrolled and sent in an explanation and some images and eventually I got nominated for the top 20.
You won the Liveability award. What kind of award is this? And why do you think Guardian was awarded this prize?
The liveability award is about social problems / questions that we face in our everyday lives. Guardian is a platform that allows children to seek help in certain situations in a very accessible way. Last year the Kindertelefoon (Dutch hot-line for kids) received over 242,000 calls, which was an increase of 39,000 calls, or 19%, making it absolutely necessary for something to be done. Guardian allows organisations to cooperate with each other more closely, allowing expert knowledge to be used and employed more efficiently. Guardian offers a solution for a growing societal problem, eventually leading up to it being awarded the liveability prize, I think.
Did you expect winning this prize? Or had you hoped for it?
The most important thing was to point out that there is a solution to the problem and that we can solve the growing problem together. I'm very thankful that Guardian won.
And...then you hear your name being called at the award ceremony. How did that feel?
Exitement and appreciation for your work.
What are you going to use the money for?
I'm going to use it to work out the concept and to go to San Francisco for a month in order to implement new developments.
You also participated in the ICTalent Awards with Guardian. You just missed the first prize then. Was that an extra motivation to participate in the Brains Awards?
No, it wasn't an extra motivation to take part in the Brains Awards. I found it important to show the concept to as many people as I could so as to present Guardian to a wide audience.
Do you think your participation in both the ICTalent Awards and the Brains Award has made you think larger?
During the ICTalent Awards Carl Heskes of the CVO (centre for entrepreneurship) approached me and asked me to come visit him. Carl helped me in implementing the concept. So the ICTalent Awards brought me into contact with new people.
Any tips for students who hesitate to join any such events?
Show it to the world if you have developed something great. The events bring you into contact with new people, which can only benefit your concept.
