Celebrating NAIDOC Week
NAIDOC WEEK 2020 | 8-15 November
Always was. Always will be.
We are be proud to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of some of our past and present indigenous players!
Broadmeadows Basketball recognises the rich Aboriginal heritage within the municipality and acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung, which includes the Gunung Willam Balluk clan, as the Traditional Custodians of this land. BBA embraces Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander living cultures as a vital part of Australia's identity and recognises, celebrates and pays respect to the existing family members of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and to Elders past, present and future.
Naomi Moke (nee Pedro)
Naomi is a 2 time Championship player for the Broncos from the 2007 & 2008 seasons and is part of the Broncos Team of the Decadef for 2001-2010. She was also part of the Lady Broncos Runners Up at the Australian Club Championships in 2007, and was selected as an All-Star 5 of the tournament.
She has played in the WNBL for the Townsville Fire and the Bulleen Boomers. Naomi now coaches in Queensland, Cairns Dolphins. Last year, she was part of the Australian Indigenous Basketball Squad, who got to travel to Melbourne to play against Hawaii before the Boomers vs USA game at Etihad Stadium (Patty Mills also got the group into a USA training session).
Naomi was born in Cairns, Queensland, with her father from the St Paul's Community on Moa Island in the Torres Strait, and she also has family connections in Murray Island and Mabuiag Island.
Her Mother and Father moved to Cairns with her older siblings for better opportunities, but Cairns is highly populated with Torres Strait Islander people so she was still able to grow up with the culture and speak the language.
Playing sport enabled Naomi to mix with non-indigenous people and to learn different cultures, as well as sharing her own culture with them, which Naomi continues to share her story and culture now.
When Naomi played for the Broncos in 2007 and 2008, not many people knew about Torres Strait Islanders, and a Torres Strait Islander flag was rarely seen. Melbourne is a completely different population and culture from Cairns. Naomi was able to put Torres Strait on the map for the Broadmeadows Community.
Naomi reflects on her time with the Broncos and in Melbourne away from her family. "Glen (Milner) and Patsy were great (when I came to the Broncos), as through their Indian culture they hold a similar value of family connections, which reminded me of my own family at home."
During the AFL Indigenous Round in 2008, Naomi's cousin (who is both Torres Strait and Aboroignal) came down to watch Naomi play with the Broncos. After the game, much to the confusion of Naomi, she found her cousin in the changerooms. Glen invited her to the changerooms to acknowledge the first nations of Australia. It was simple but it was much appreciated.
Naomi also talks of an Aboriginal family in Epping that she was close to; the Bamblett Family. She said they welcomed her and it was like a home away from home. She jokes that when she went back to Cairns she talked in a lot of Aboriginal slang instead of her native Torres Strait Creole.
"I met so many beautiful people and I am still in contact with a lot of the girls from Broady, still close to a lot of them on social media."
Naomi is now strongly involved with the Phoenix Sports and Culture Club; a not-for-profit organisation with a mission to improve life outcomes of Australians by promoting a healthy and active lifestyle and encouraging sporting participation and community engagement. The club encourages cultural immersion and fosters social and emotional wellbeing, job readiness, education and training opportunities through sports and recreation.
"For some kids, they have no real family connections at home, but at Phoenix they are able to find family within the sporting club".
NBL up and coming star Tamuri Wigness (Brisbane Bullets) and WNBL player Cayla George (Melbourne Boomers) are also involved in the club.
Through Phoenix, Cairns dolphins and life in general, Naomi is always excited to share her experience and culture, and loves to see when others embrace it.
Naomi is super excited about the recent announcement of NBL's Reconciliation Actions Plan, especially of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Wellbeing Officer. "I'm smiling. I would have loved that at the time I was playing at the highest level, but I'm happy and proud, (it's) better late than never."
So, what does NAIDOC Week mean to Naomi?
"For me Naidoc week is about recognising, acknowledging and celebrating the first nations people, and then moving forward as one, together. For me, I live on Aboriginal land in Cairns, and I recognise that this is their land first and foremost and then moving forward together as one, and hoping to educate the non-indegnous (and I need to be educated as well) on the culture.
That's what the Phoenix Sports and Culture Club is about, embracing and educating on all different cultures, and within the club, we are all one and out on the court for the same goal."
Naomi is now a busy mother with her kids now participating in sports and aspiring to be professional athletes. but still uses her voice to educate others on the Torres Strait culture.
"Half the time it's just people don't know (about Aboriginal and Torres Strait culture). But let's learn and be open minded.
"It doesn't make you less Australian (not being indigenous), it's just acknowledging that it's Aboriginal land, and moving forward together as Australians on Aboriginal land."
"I would love the world to know that Australia has such a rich culture behind it. Learn about it and embrace it."
Marshall Kearing played with the Broncos in season 2019, winning the club Youth League MVP, averaging over 16 points and 10 rebounds per game.
He was the Youth League 1 Men's Player of the Month twice in 2019 and continued his strong form impressing in the US College system playing
for the State College of Florida, and has now signed with the University
of South Alabama.
Marshall was born in Pinjarra, Western Australia (Pindjarup) and is a proud Binjareb Noongar man. He also has partaken in traditional dances with Mungart Yongah
led by Alice Kearing and Nigel Wilkes.
"I have an immense amount of pride in where I come from and my culture. It's what keeps me strong wherever I go."

Sandra Wagner, Torsten Strasser, Eberhart Zrenner; Ciliary muscle thickness profiles in far and near accommodation. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2018;59(9):2940.
Purpose : Interest in ciliary muscle (CM) imaging has lately increased, especially in myopia and presbyopia research, however, no standardized method for biometry exists. We performed a pilot study testing a new approach to analyze the CM's morphologic changes during accommodation using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods : Right eye's temporal CM of 13 near-emmetropic subjects (age 29±5yr; refractive error spherical equivalent -0.04±0.34D) was imaged using Zeiss Visante AS-OCT while subjects fixated a text with their fellow eye, presented in random order at 0D or 3D distance. 6 images were taken in each accommodative state, with subject repositioning after 3 images. An in-house semi-automatic algorithm was applied for CM segmentation in raw DICOM images. Refraction distortion was corrected using Snell's law (Fig.1). Intra-session repeatability was tested by comparing CM area (CMA) before vs. after repositioning. Intra-observer repeatability was determined by independently positioning segmentation landmarks twice and calculating CMA. CM thickness profiles for far and near accommodation were averaged, respectively.
Results : Intra-session repeatability was found to be good (ICC=0.879), however, repeated landmark positioning revealed a significant effect on CMA (repeated measures ANOVA F1,24=7.715, p=.010). Averaged thickness profiles (Fig.2) indicated the CM to exhibit thickness changes for near compared to far vision predominantly within 0.02 to 0.20mm from scleral spur (SP) (median -39.4µm) and within 0.40 to 1.60mm (median +31.8µm). Evaluating the displacement of ciliary apex (CA) vs. SP, the CM's forward and inward movement during accommodation was confirmed: CA was positioned 0.53±0.25mm in front of SP during far vision, and shifted to 0.17±0.36mm behind SP during near vision (paired t-test, t12=-6.133, p<.001, two-tailed). While the distance between CA and SP was 0.92±0.14mm for far vision, it decreased to 0.85±0.10mm for 3D accommodation.
Conclusions : We present a novel, semi-automatic approach for analyzing the CM's anatomy using OCT that facilitates formation of CM thickness profiles and definition of areas of largest change during accommodation, rather than taking punctual or proportional readings. Repeatability analysis disclosed consistency within one cycle, but a possible examiner's training effect in segmenting over time. We aim at applying this tool for an in-depth comparison of CM morphology in emmetropes vs. myopes.

Chiefs Praise 'Special' Performance by Chad Henne vs. Jaguars
Henne and his key touchdown drive received nothing but positive remarks from KC on Saturday.
The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars by a final score of 27-20 in Saturday's AFC Divisional Round contest, but Patrick Mahomes wasn't the only quarterback on the team to contribute to the win in a significant way.
Near the end of the first quarter, Mahomes suffered a hit that led to his leg bending at an awkward angle. After the play, he limped around and headed off to the sideline briefly before coming back into the game but still being visibly hobbled. On the ensuing Chiefs offensive possession, it was 37-year-old Chad Henne who took the field as the team's signal-caller.
With 98 yards between Kansas City's opening line of scrimmage and the Jacksonville end zone, Henne helped march the team down the field and capped things off with a touchdown strike to tight end Travis Kelce. Mahomes ultimately returned to action for the second half but after the game, he praised Henne for playing a massive role in allowing that to happen.
"It's special, man," Mahomes said of Henne relieving him. "He's in the playoffs, he didn't get any reps during the week and he prepares himself to be able to go in for stuff like that. He had a 98-yard drive, backed up in a playoff game against a great opponent. To be able to drive the ball down the field and make some big throws versus some pressure looks — I mean, they brought some heat whenever he came into the game — he made some big throws and was able to get us into the end zone. That was a big point in the game, because that gave me the ability to come back and rest and wait until halftime until we got me re-taped and everything we could to get me ready to go for the second half."
This wasn't the first time Henne replaced Mahomes in a big game. In 2021's Divisional Round of the postseason, Mahomes was unable to maintain his balance following a tough hit by a Cleveland Browns defender. That forced him to leave the game and he didn't return, subsequently throwing Henne into the fire. Henne played a critical role in securing the win for the Chiefs, allowing them to advance to the AFC Championship Game and giving Mahomes enough time to get back in the starting lineup. Mahomes recalled that game after Saturday's win, citing it as a reason why Kansas City had full faith in Henne to get the job done.
"The team has so much belief in Chad," Mahomes said. "He's done it before. He's won Divisional [Round] games by coming in and playing, so they had so much belief in Chad. We saw it in that 98-yard drive, he ran the offense the way the offense was supposed to be run. He threw it to the right guys, and guys stepped up and made plays. That's what a great team does. It's not about one guy, it's about the whole team."
Head coach Andy Reid echoed that same sentiment, saying that Henne's preparation and readiness led to the team believing that he'd have success in Mahomes's absence. In all, the veteran completed five of seven passes for 23 yards and the touchdown to Kelce. The long touchdown drive was buoyed by a dropped interception and a 39-yard run by Isiah Pacheco but nonetheless, Henne came off the bench cold and executed to a sufficient degree. For someone who rarely enters the game, even when Kansas City is leading by a sizable margin, that's impressive.
Much like Mahomes and Reid, Kelce tipped his cap to Henne's habits. He said that every week, Henne prepares as if he's going to get the start on Sunday (or Saturday) or as if he's just one snap away from being put in the game. After a quality job helping buy some time while Mahomes got evaluated, Henne spoke about getting and staying ready.
"I don't know if it's just like riding a bike, but you're always prepared," Henne said. "With this offense and obviously all the weapons we have and staying prepared each and every moment, I think you just stay ready. When your number is called, you just go in there and do what you did in practice and the meeting rooms and just take it into the game."

CHER Lloyd has shown off her growing baby bump in London after announcing she's pregnant with her first child.
The X Factor singer looked glowing in jeans and a pink jumper just weeks after confirming she's expecting a baby with her husband Craig Monk.
Cher, 24, was spotted at Ealing Studios in the capital, where she put her baby bump on display in a chic outfit.
The star looked relaxed as she chatted on her phone as she walked through the car park carrying a brown handbag which matched her jacket.
Despite being less than 12 weeks away from giving birth, Cher looked incredibly glamorous with perfect hair and make-up.
She announced her baby news in an Instagram post last month along with a snap of her baby bump.
She wrote: "I am beyond thrilled to inform you all that my husband Craig (Monk)and I are also expecting our first child in May!!!
"We are absolutely over the moon to share this news with you all."
Cher also revealed she's been working on new music which will be released later in 2018.
She shared: "I am so excited to enter this new chapter in my life, surrounded by family I love, a supportive team around me and with music I've worked super hard on and am so excited and proud to reveal to you later in the year.
"And now we're going to have a little baby to enjoy this experience with us along the way!
"Thank you all for being so patient, as you now know, I've been a busy little bee but I promise it'll be worth the wait!"
Cher, 24, finished fourth in the seventh series of the X Factor and kicked off her solo career with single Swagger Jagger and debut album Sticks and Stones.
However, she hasn't released any new music since 2014's Sorry I'm Late.
In her post, she apologised for being "quiet for a while."
She wrote: "I wanted to take this opportunity to bring you all up to speed on what I've been up to over the last year.
"I decided to take some time away from the public eye to focus on what really matters and get back to what I truly love doing.
"As you all know, making music and singing is where it all began for me, it's what makes me truly happy, and I wanted to get back to that happy place once again, enter the studio and focus on simply making great music for you all."

What's the No. 1 thing holding Rickie Fowler back? He thinks he knows.
By: Nick Piastowski August 11, 2022
He said he didn't watch, though he did check his phone a few times. He played golf instead, though Rickie Fowler's round was, shall we say, relaxed.
"There was no money on the line," Fowler said. "Just casual round. I think I got a drink for the back nine."
Through all of the ups and downs, the adjustments and changes, there's at least one thing you can bank with one of golf's more popular players: Fowler himself remains steady. And that he was last Sunday, even as both his work schedule for the next month, and another personal low, were in the hands of others.
How Rickie Fowler became the last man in the FedEx Cup Playoffs
Last week's Wyndham Championship, as the last event of the PGA Tour's regular season, was also the last chance to secure a spot among the 125 who move on to the start of the three-week playoff stretch, and Fowler was among those on the "bubble," then missed the Wyndham cut. If you're reading this with no idea of the 33-year-old's struggles over the past few years, you're probably re-reading that previous sentence. Shoot, even if you are aware of his slide, you're probably looking at it again. Fowler? Not even good enough for the 125, for a second-straight year? Yeah.
Then things got even odder.
As things shook out Sunday — and he was on another golf course — Fowler survived. No. 125, in fact.
And wouldn't you know it, given new life, Fowler signed for his lowest round in about 10 months, shooting a five-under 65 during Thursday's first round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first leg of the playoffs. But Fowler and you know one good round does not make a tournament, nor qualify as a bona fide comeback. Hardly. And the work continues.
But if you're a Fowler fan, you should know your man may know what's holding him back. An exchange after his round is notable.
2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship tee times: Round 2 groupings for Friday
By: Kevin Cunningham
Reporter: "If someone were to ask a very simple question — what's lacking right now in your game — what would be the answer the last couple months?"
"I mean, it would be nice to hit some a little closer, but that's not probably the biggest issue," Fowler said. "One of the biggest issues over the last year or two, I'm just not putting anywhere near what I — I'm used to or I know I can. That does a lot with momentum and confidence and freeing you up from the rest of the game, not feeling like you have to necessarily hit it super close to make birdies. I've been driving it really well, and so I think kind of the last thing is seeing a few putts go in is, I think, something that's really going to free up the rest of the game to kind of start cruising again."
Reporter: "Do you know why with the putting? Can you identify the cause?"
"Kind of goes all over the place," Fowler said. "I would say a lot of it is read based, but at that point, when you're not trusting your reads, speed's a little off, so there's plenty of variables in putting. If you're not starting it online, it doesn't matter if you have the right read or speed. I would say one of the biggest ones has been getting proper reads and then on top of that, trusting that. So with that, like I said, speed can become a little inconsistent based on trust, but I think stemming from reads."
A reporter then asked how many putters Fowler has played with this year.
"Into play? Probably five," Fowler said.
"And how long have you been using your current one?" a reporter asked.

— PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) August 11, 2022
"The one I played with today, that was its first round," Fowler said.
"It was?" a reporter asked.
"Yeah," Fowler said.
"It did well," the reporter said.
"No, it did a lot of good stuff," Fowler said. "It was a new putter that Scotty [Cameron] had just come out with. Drew, one of the reps who was a teammate of mine at Oklahoma State, he just happened to have it out on the putting green on Tuesday. Hit a couple putts with it, everything looked good, felt good. Messed with it a little bit more yesterday and decided to give it a shot. There was a lot of good out there today. Actually, a lot of really good putts. Left a couple short, but other than that, some of it was just a little off on read."
Fowler has been open in the past about his struggles, and this was no different. He's right, too, about his putting — during the 2016-17 season, Fowler was No. 1 — No. 1! — on Tour in Strokes Gained: Putting; this campaign, he is a ghastly 179th.
Of course, a new wand — Fowler said it's a newer version of the Newport Plus — doesn't actually make the putts; that's still on the player. But a physical change can sometimes free up mental ones, and this is that; it's at least part of the reason that Fowler, somewhat surprisingly, also broke up with longtime caddie Joe Skovron ahead of this week.
'Tough on both of us': Rickie Fowler splits with longtime caddie Joe Skovron
"It was more so going into this week not having Joe with me, obviously an amazing partnership over the years, but it was going to be more about me taking ownership and putting more of a workload on myself and more accountability," Fowler said.
"I still had plenty of his voice and one-liners and stuff in my head, so he wasn't on the bag but he was definitely present."
It's here where we'll end things by saying Fowler's teased with low rounds recently, only to finish somewhere where those ranked 125th usually finish — last October, at the CJ Cup, he followed rounds of 66, 66 and 63 with a 71; a month later, at Mayakoba, he followed a 66 with a 72; in January at the Farmers Insurance, he went 66-76; in May at the Wells Fargo, his scored looked like this: 66-72-74-68.
Then again, a 65 is what the start of a comeback looks like, too.
"Got some good work in with [swing coach John] Tillery the last couple days," Fowler said. "I felt like I got some good stuff in and in a way kind of coming in, nothing to lose. Being 125, obviously need to play well to just make it to next week, but it would be a big bonus if we can do that and move on. Kind of leave it all out there, see what happens."

Despite being one of the most beloved and respected American writers of 20th century, Flannery O'Connor's work hasn't really made the jump from the page to the screen many times save for John Huston's strange retelling of her first novel, Wise Blood. On this latest episode of Ryder + Flye, Jason Diamond talks with South Towards Home author Margaret Eby about the possible reasons why O'Connor's work might not be right for movies, being Catholic in the South, 70s cinema, Harry Dean Stanton, and much more.

For most people, death casts the world in shades of darkness. For Kang, it conjures the blank nothingness of white. Focusing on the death of her older sister who lived for just two hours, Kang's book is an unsettling, yet beautiful, meditation on mortality by way of a close focus on the color said to contain all the others. It begins with a list of fifteen kinds of white that, ranging from swaddling bands to shroud, serve as shorthand for the infant's brief experience of the world. The rest of the work, in short bursts that rarely reach a page, expands on these items. Kang links the facts of her sister's premature birth and even more premature death to snow, white doors, sugar, salt, ashes, a white dog, white hair, and so on. While always spare, the prose achieves a remarkable tonal fluidity, sounding by turns harrowing, matter-of-fact, questioning, and painfully lovely. A stretch of frozen sea was "like layer upon layer of dazzling white flowers captured in the moment of unfurling"—another image of nearly simultaneous life and death, but one very different from the sister's. While at one level Kang is exploring timeless existentialist questions—none of the characters are named, emphasizing the narrative's universal concerns—the book is also a powerful, highly literary, exploration of identity. The opening section is recounted by "I," probably Kang's persona, the second by an omniscient narrator following a "she," likely Kang's sister as the writer imagines her had she lived. But several parallels in the protagonists' experience suggest that these two characters are one and the same, as if Kang, who talks of survivors "containing" the lost, has merged with her dead sister. The book leaves this and other possibilities open, just as the generous white space throughout implies a host of things unsaid and presences unacknowledged.


Choresy is a revolutionary easy-to-use app that utilizes the devices your kids are already using to engage and reward them for completing chores. Choresy is a "must have app" for a better life.
No more nagging. No more frustration of asking your kids to do their chores repeatedly.

Face it.. some days you would gladly pay a couple bucks to get the house in order without having to nag your kids. This is where Choresy comes in.
Kids are on devices. It's just the way it is. Rather than screaming across your house for them to do the dishes. We will notify them on their devices with a distinct sound and visual that there is a chore to be done. Here's the fun part. The first child to claim the chore gets to do the chore and receive the reward.
We let you know instantly who has claimed the chore.
When your kids complete a chore they will mark the chore as completed and wait for you to approve. Rewards are issued only once the chore is approved.
The next time you and your child are out and they ask for a toy or a treat, you will open the Choresy app and deduct the cost of the toy or treat from their Choresy balance. Your child has just learned the value of a dollar and you can be assured that every Choresy dollar in their account was earned... pretty cool huh?

of the sky looked mostly clear which I took as a good sign!
Sept 15 (Part 1): This was such a busy and crazy day, I'm breaking it up into two posts!
The day started particularly early for Karolina. We didn't really have an alarm clock to make sure she'd wake early enough to get to the train station in Fort William on time, but I assured her that I normally woke early enough and could be her alarm clock. I did wake up, at 5:40 in the morning, and whispered over to Karolina. "Hey, Karolina! It's 5:40 now!"
She whispered back that she was already awake and had been for nearly a half hour. She took 20 minutes packing up her gear--except for the emergency blanket. Since she was getting off the trail today, she didn't need it anymore and since I had no groundsheet, I asked if I could start using her emergency blanket as a groundsheet instead of the tarp I had been using.
She hiked off, down the trail, and I settled back into my sleeping bag for another hour or so. I didn't hike with Karolina today for two reasons. One, I needed more light for photos and 6:00 was still much too early to get good photos. And two, I wasn't going in the direction she was headed--I planned to veer off of the West Highland Way to summit Ben Nevis: the highest point in Britain. Towering 4,406 ft (1,344m) above sea level, it doesn't sound like much, but it's the Mount Washington of peaks in the British Isles.
I went back to sleep for another hour or so, then ate breakfast and broke down camp. I followed the road for maybe 15 minutes to Glen Nevis and the trailhead for Ben Nevis. Being the highest point in Britain, I had read that this trail was immensely popular and crowded, but this early in the morning, I didn't see anyone. A nearby restaurant hadn't even opened for breakfast yet. Not a bunch of early risers in this part of the world!
What the heck are achintees?!
Reading about Ben Nevis reminded me a lot of Mount Washington--the similarities abound. A weather observatory was built in 1883 and a substantial path was built to service it. Although the weather observatory on Mount Washington is still active, the one on Ben Nevis was abandoned in 1904. A summit hotel and pony rides to the top were also abandoned soon after the ideas were conceived. Like Mount Washington, though, this mountain was a "fearsome reputation for accidents" (as my guidebook describes it). The summit is in clouds an average of 300 days per year. Patches of snow can be found in the crags year-round.
The trail climbed steeply and persistently, and despite the cool morning, I was quickly sweating bullets. The trail, however, wasn't bad. It was wide, well-constructed, and mostly even and although it was one of the steepest sections of trail I had yet to see in Scotland, it could have been much worse. The trail curved around the contours of the mountain gradually instead of straight up the side so I covered ground quickly.
The very tippy-top of Ben Nevis was in the clouds. I hoped those clouds would burn off before I reached the top--the rest of the sky was largely clear which fueled my hope--but the weather report posted to a sign at the trailhead suggested the weather would be the same as the day before. However, the day before it was never clear. This morning, it was already mostly clear. I crossed my fingers and pushed onward and upwards.
Left a route plan with someone: Nope.
Checked the weather: Best I can tell, mostly clear with clouds at the top.
I passed a grand total of two people, an older couple, on my way up the trail. Further up the trail, I could see two more people, but I never caught up with them. Those four people were the only ones I saw on my way up.
After climbing nearly 2,000 feet up, the trail reached a pass where it splits. To the right was the Tourist Route, the main route to the top of Ben Nevis that almost everyone walks. However, my guidebook described the Carn Mor Dearg (CMD) Arete Route which it described as "a superb route that provides a tough, long, but grand day out, befitting of Britain's highest mountain."
Sounded like a nice trail to take! And I could follow the Tourist Route back down.
It describes the CMD route as being considerably more difficult than the Tourist Route with additional descriptive sentences such as "It is a long route, requiring stamina with some sections of easy scrambling."
By my standards, that doesn't seem bad at all. Easy scrambling? Yeah, no problem.
It goes on: "The main difficulties on Ben Nevis occur on the summit plateau in poor visibility. The plateau is broad, relatively featureless and fringed to the north by a wall of crags which drop precipitously into Coire Leis below. The gullies that cut into this rock wall have too frequently ensnared lost walkers and climbers wandering round the plateau in white-out conditions. The other real danger is that in an effort to avoid these gullies the walker aims too far south, missing the descent path and straying onto the dangerous ground at the top of the notorious Five Finger Gully on the west side of the plateau."
I could see the clouds at the top of Ben Nevis. If they didn't burn off before I reached the summit, poor visibility would be a very real risk. I'm glad to hear that Five Finger Gully still has all five fingers, but it sounded like if you got very far off trail, things could get bad.
I examined the map in my guidebook--a hand-drawn sketch of the area. The whole guidebook used hand-drawn sketches with far more detail than you'd find in any topo map and has been wonderful, and I had little reason to expect less from this map. The trail splits, loops around the Ben Nevis's summit to the north, climbs to the top of a ridge, then looks like it follows an old road to the summit. There are observatory ruins and a "basic shelter" which I figured the road must have led to back in the day. It was probably closed to traffic now.
One point on the CMD route had an unusual note: "Cut across stream here (not an actual path)." The map showed a trail to a CIC hut, then veers off 90 degrees across a stream up a steep hill to a ridge, and a second smaller trail that cuts across the stream just before the CIC hut.
I was a little puzzled by this part of the map. Why couldn't we follow the trail to the CIC hut then over the creek? Why cut across the creek where there isn't a trail? As is often the case with maps, I figured it would make more sense when I saw the ground conditions myself.
So that's what I was walking into. It sounded like the trail might be a little more rough and definitely longer because it looped completely around the summit, but I bet it would have far fewer people (not that the Tourist Route had many at this time of morning), better scenery, and I hoped if this route took an extra hour to walk, maybe it would give the clouds at the top of Ben Nevis more time to burn off.
Looking back down the mountain. What happened to all those blue skies I was admiring earlier?
So I headed left around the north side of Ben Nevis. It wasn't long before the well-maintained trail turned into a mud bog. Bleah. I'm happy to report, however, that only lasted about 5 minutes before coming back out onto a small, little-used trail--but at least it was on solid ground again.
The trail stayed more-or-less flat for a mile or two and I was making good time. The views of the north-facing crags of Ben Nevis were spectacular. Then the trail curved around looping around to the east side of Ben Nevis and I started having more trouble following the trail because it was getting lost among all of the rocks. In the distance, I saw a couple of hikers walking up a road from another direction. So I'm not the only person taking this route! I thought. But clearly, they had found another trailhead to start from.
Eventually I reached the CIC hut, a small building with a wind turbine for power spinning in a blur. It looked like a shelter, and I tried one of the doors, but it was locked. That was okay, though, I didn't really need to get in it anyhow.
Several minutes before I arrived, I saw another hiker leaving up behind the hut and wanted to catch up with him. A barely discernible trail led up behind the CIC hut, and I followed it in the direction of the other hiker. I'd lose the barely visible trail occasionally, then pick up again a few minutes later. It was generally heading up the valley, but seemed like it was getting closer and closer to craggy cliff towers now to the west and I couldn't imagine a trail getting to the top through all of that. I wanted to stop, rest and take another look at my map, but I was gaining on the other hiker and didn't stop.
Even though the hiker had only several minutes of a head start, it took me nearly 20 minutes to catch up with him. When I did catch up with the guy, I asked him if he knew where he was going because I didn't. Not really. I kind of knew where I was, but I wasn't confident at all about where I was going. He asked where I was going, and I told him I was headed for the top of Ben Nevis, and he asked if I had any climbing gear (because it certainly didn't look like I did).
Clouds continue to roll around the upper reaches of Ben Nevis.
No.... But then, I didn't see any climbing gear on him either. He shook his head and said he was exploring the craggy cliffs of Ben Nevis and that there wasn't a route to the top from where we were.
Crap! "So how do you get to the top?" I asked.
He seemed to think I was completely and utterly lost, like I should have been on the Tourist Route and somehow found myself on the complete opposite side of the mountain, so I explained I was trying to get up the "back way." The hiker didn't know anything about a back way, though.
I sat down and pulled out my guidebook, comparing it with the features as I could now see from the ground.
There was a definitely 90 degree turn in the trail at the CIC hut, and I had largely gone straight following the path of least resistance. In fact, it looked like the trail was supposed to head due west--the complete opposite direction of the summit--and straight up an impossibly steep-looking ridge. My heart fluttered when I realized where the map was trying to guide me.
Surely that can't be right! I thought to myself.
I rummaged through deeper into my pack and pulled out the big gun: a topo map. A highly detailed topo map. The little hand-drawn maps in my guidebook had been doing me well all of the way from Glasgow, but if this guidebook was directing me where I thought it was, I wanted a second opinion.
Lochan Meall an t-Suidhe is in the distance. Does the name 'Suidhe' look a little too much like 'suicide' to you? It kind of looks like suicide to me... I hope that's not a sign!
I opened the topo map--a giant kite-sized piece of paper that you had to be careful not to let blow away--and found my location on it. There was a trail, leading around from the Tourist Route around the north side of the mountain to the CIC hut, then the trail... stopped. A complete dead end. No trail at all after that, in any direction. What I thought was an old road to the top of Ben Nevis in my guidebook was actually the ridgeline of the ridge--quite obvious once I looked at my topo map.
To the east was a steep ridge, and I could see the ridgeline looping around to the south and west, but the road I thought was there... nothing. Not even a trail showed on my topo map. Based on my topo map, there was absolutely nothing to mark the route between my current location and the top of Ben Nevis.
That little note in the guidebook about "not an actual path"--of so little importance that it was put in parenthesis--suddenly took on a whole new meaning. I thought it was just across the creek there wasn't a path, but there was no path for miles! No trail at all!
That might not seem like a big distinction to you--no "path" and no "trail," but to me they mean very different things. A path is a line in the ground that you can follow because it's right there on the ground. It's generally clear of obstacles and doesn't even need to be marked except when two paths intersect and there might be some confusion of which direction to follow.
A trail, however, doesn't necessarily mean there's a path. It could be a route marked with cairns. There were parts of the Arizona Trail that was an actual trail, but there was no path in the ground delineating it. So in my book, the lack of a path didn't necessarily mean there wasn't a trail; when I saw that there wasn't a "path," I figured the route must have been marked with cairns or something. But no, that wasn't the case at all. This route was completely cross-country.
The sunrise peeks out from behind the north crags of Ben Nevis.
And now I had a big decision to make: Turn around or keep going?
I'm generally comfortable traveling cross-country, but I had a couple of things giving me pause. First, if I injured myself and couldn't get out on my own, there was absolutely nobody who would be looking for me anytime soon or report my disappearance. And since I wasn't on an established trail, it would be unlikely anyone would simply come across me. Nor did I have a cell phone or anything to call or signal for help if I did get hurt. A relatively minor injury along this stretch could turn into a life-and-death situation. That was my first concern.
The second concern was that the top of Ben Nevis was still in the clouds. All of the ridges at the top were in the clouds. Navigating cross country with nothing more than a map and compass with limited visibility could be difficult. And this was a mountain I had never seen before in my life until today. It's not like I knew this mountain or its terrain very well.
It's easy to look at the glass as being half empty, but I did have a couple of positive point to consider as well. For instance, I had a full backpacking setup on my back. Although the hike up Ben Nevis was supposed to be a day hike, since I had backpacked the West Highland Way, I had all of my backpacking gear with me. I could hunker down for a long time waiting for rescue should I need it--assuming whatever injury I faced didn't kill me quickly.
And.... I have done stuff like this before. I have traveled cross-country, away from trails. And although the visibility was poor at the higher elevations, it seemed like it would be pretty difficult to get lost. Basically, I just needed to head uphill until I reached the top of the ridge. Once I reached the top of the ridge, I should follow it south then west until I reached the top of Ben Nevis. Easy, peasy!
I decided to complete the loop around Ben Nevis. I backtracked a bit towards the CIC hut, then headed straight up the ridge to the east shortly be reaching it again. The ridge was steep--even by my standards I considered it steep! Progress was difficult. Some sections were so steep, I would slide down the grass when I took a step up. Then I tried stepping on rocks for more traction, but many were loose and would tumble down the mountain as I shuffled my feet to stay out of the avalanche I created.
Eventually I settled on switchbacking back and forth between two gullies. The gullies themselves I avoided because it was difficult to get up and down their banks and the rocks in it were loose and sketchy to walk on, but the gullies headed straight up the mountain so as long as I stayed between two gullies, I was headed in the right direction: up.
I stopped to rest and drink from my water bottle every 10 or 15 minutes. I couldn't stop very long, though. As I climbed in elevation, the wind became stronger and colder. I'd sweat bullets working my way up the steep hillside, but I'd feel a chill down my back within seconds of stopping to rest.
Finally my elevation climbed up to the cloud level and my visibility dropped dramatically. I could no longer see the bottom of the valley with the CIC hut far down below. Above.... I couldn't see the top of the ridge either. Just an endless stretch of rocks fading out into fog. I took some pictures, and found them frustrating. I really wanted to capture the steepness of the slope, but everything in my photos looked completely, utterly flat. The ground surface really was quite flat--just tilted steeply which photographs couldn't really capture.
In all the years I've been hiking and backpacking, I've never found an actual antler on the trail... until today!
The lack of visibility really bothered me, though. In theory, I knew I was still headed the correct direction, but it's annoying and disorienting to not seeing where you are in relation to the rest of the world. I started wondering if I had made the right decision heading in this direction. Now if I injured myself, and if someone reported me missing, they wouldn't even be able to see me through all of this fog. At least under the clouds a helicopter could have spotted me easily. In the thick fog--not a chance.
But I continued marching upwards. The slope seemed to bend away from me, becoming less steep, and I hoped this meant I was getting near the top of the ridge. Several minutes later, I reached a definite high point--the ridge dropped as precariously on the other side as the side I climbed up.
Yes! The long climb was over! I was exhausted, though. I stopped for a drink of water, then turned and followed the ridge southward. Somewhat surprisingly, I found a small trail along the ridge. The trail wasn't marked on my topo map, but I liked seeing it. It meant other people used it enough to pound it into the ground and it was now possible that a random person hiking along this ridge would find me if I injured myself. Not that lots of people were up here, but it seemed more likely to happen than the slope I had just climbed up.
Despite the trail, however, the hiking didn't progress much faster. It was definitely an unofficial, unmaintained trail and required a lot of rock hopping along parts. About ten minutes after following this ridge, I caught up with two other hikers also following the ridge and my spirits soared. My fears about what to do if I had a serious injury vanished. There was help around now.
I asked where they were headed--if they were going all of the way to Ben Nevis, they'd be following the same route I was. And they were headed to Ben Nevis's summit. Excellent! I skipped ahead of them, happy to know that there were now two hikers not far behind me.
The trail is becoming more difficult to follow the further away from the Tourist Route I get.
Some time later, I passed another group of hikers--three of them with their dog. More people! This ridgetop wasn't as remote as I thought, and I was quite thankful for the fact. I'm not sure where they all came from, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't the trailhead where I started at on the east side of Ben Nevis.
My progress was slow enough that I wondered if I'd finish before the day was over. I had planned to hike through and past Fort William before stopping to camp somewhere on the other side of town, but at my pace, it seemed like there was a very real possibility I'd have to camp up here for tonight!
The ridgeline curved around slowly and dropped what seemed like a few hundred feet in elevation, when suddenly a gust of wind blew the fog away and left an unexpected view of the valley below. The top of Ben Nevis was still in the clouds, but the ridge had dropped just enough to squeeze under the cloud layer for a view. A very brief view.
The view was awesome, but more importantly, I felt my place in the world again. I looked up the valley where the CIC hut stood far in the distance and realized I had looped further around and to the west than I thought I had. I was at least a mile past the point where I thought I was. Maybe I wouldn't be spending the night up here after all. But it was still late enough in the day now that I wondered if I would even reach Fort William. Maybe I'll wind up camping in the exact same spot I camped the night before? Wouldn't that be funny!
Another pick-me-up was reaching a large cairn at a gap in the ridgeline. Civilization! A small trail snaked away to the west and I hoped it would lead right to the top of the mountain.
It didn't, though, and the route soon plunged back into the clouds with its loss of visibility again.
More craggy cliffs east of the highest peak. At least one person decided to set up camp here! It was really cold and windy, though, and a fairly harsh place to camp.
Even worse, though, I knew this section of mountain had a lot of craggy fingers and I couldn't just follow the ridgeline anymore. It was broken up by the crags and I needed to get up on the plateau at the top. I swooped around off the ridge but continued heading up. After all, when you're trying to reach the highest point in Britain, every step down was the wrong direction, and at this point, every step should be uphill. I just had to make sure I didn't accidentally walk off a cliff hundreds and fall hundreds of feet to my death.
The terrain along this section turned into a giant pile of large boulders. I could no longer see the ground at all--just rocks on top of more rocks with dark holes designed to snag a leg and break it. I traveled as much with my hands and arms as I did with my feet, pulling myself up and over boulders. My progress slowed to a crawl and the wind screamed with fury.
Occasionally I would find signs of humans. A long-rusted piece of sheet metal. A metal rod sticking out of the ground somewhere else. But for the most part, it looked like I was the very first person to ever travel along this stretch of ground.
The steep slope once again mellowed, and I hoped it was a sign that I was nearing the plateau at the top, and that's exactly what happened. Yes!
If you look closely at the green patch of grass near the left side of this photo, you can see the CIC hut.
But it left me with a new problem... on a generally flat plateau in a thick fog, it's really hard to see which direction to go. Where was the very tippy-top of Britain? It could have been in any direction! One thing I knew had to happen, however, was that there were bound to be lots of people climbing up the Tourist Route. If that trail was as crowded as I had read about, I was bound to cross paths with them at some point.
So I headed straight and within a few minutes I saw a tall cairn materialize out of the fog and saw two people standing next to it. "Yes!" I cried with glee. I rushed out to the cairn and could even see a light-colored trail leading past it: the Tourist Route. I had made it! "Yes!" I cried out again.
I couldn't imagine what I must have looked like coming out from the fog--those two other hikers might have mistaken me as an apparition. It must have surprised them to see anyone materializing out of the fog from off the trail.
The trail stretched out largely perpendicular from the direction I had come, and I assumed the eastward direction led to the very top of the mountain while the westward direction led back down the mountain. But how close was the top?
"Am I at the top?!" I asked the two hikers at the cairn, who seemed surprisingly quiet. "How close is the top?" I asked again, waving my hands around wildly.
Here's a closer view as I approached the CIC hut.
The two hikers looked a little scared of me, and one of them said in a broken voice, "No Eng-lish." Almost like it was three words rather than two. Then added, "Germany," while pointing to themselves.
"You don't speak English?" I said, mostly rhetorically. "No English?"
Of course not. That would have been too easy!
But I wouldn't let that get my spirits down. I was thrilled to finally be back on an actual trail. I followed the trail eastward, leaving the two hikers and the cairn fading off into the mist.
It was only a couple of minutes before I found some other hikers on the trail, and still more. Less than five minutes later, I was surrounded by dozens of people. Mostly hidden behind small rock walls presumably built as windbreaks from the bitterly cold wind. I saw a few other huddled around a circular platform that I figured must mark the highest point in Britain, and at the top a couple of people were taking photos of each other.
A couple near the base asked if I could get a photo of them together with their camera, which I did, then they did the same for me.
I didn't linger at the top for very long, though. It was too cold and windy for comfort! And anyhow, I expected to be up and down the mountain by 3:00 in the afternoon and it was already getting close to 4:00. I was far behind my original schedule for the day!
I headed back down the mountain and with a trail cleared of rocks and boulders, my pace picked up dramatically. It seemed like I passed a hundred people climbing up the mountain in the first 10 minutes. A hundred, people, in a zombie-like trance, slowly plodding up the mountain in obvious exhaustion.
And here's looking back at the CIC hut after I passed by. At this point, I'm technically going the wrong way. I should have veered up the slope on the right side instead of following the valley upstream like I'm doing.
"Turn around now!" I told them, "Before it's too late! It's just foggy--nothing to see at the top!"
Some of them laughed. Some of them seemed to want to swat me like a bug in the way. One man who stopped to talk said he needed photos at the top, which I understood and I think he knew that, but was playing along.
"Just take pictures of the fog here. That's all you'll see that top, and the fog here looks just like the fog at the top! Nobody will know the difference!"
His eyes blinked wide with astonishment, and he took my right wrist in his left hand then put my right hand in his right hand for a handshake. "That's brilliant!" he told me. "That's a brilliant idea!"
"Glad I could help!" We both had grins on our faces like we actually were at the top, but then I continued down the mountain and he continued on up it.
I chatted with more hikers on my way down, heading both down and up the trail, and eventually the trail fell below the clouds and visibility opened up again giving me a view into my place in the world.
At around this point, I started having serious concerns that I was headed the correct direction. I didn't think a trail could get through those crags up ahead!
See the CIC hut far below?
You can see the town of Fort William by the water in the distance. Fort William is the end of the West Highland Way and were Karolina headed off to so early in the morning.
At this point, I'm starting to get into the clouds and losing my visibility.
This photo is actually looking up a very steep hill, but because the terrain is so flat, it looks like it could have been taken on a plateau rather than a steep hillside!
Reaching this point was a moment of glee since it meant I had reached the top of the ridge! Now I just had to follow the ridge line south then west.
Along the ridge, I found this little used and unmarked trail. Which was a huge relief for me!
The ridge line had some very steep cliffs on both sides of the ridge!
The ridge dropped just enough and a lucky wind gust blew the clouds just right giving me this brief view in the valley below--just enough to realize that I was further into my hike than I had estimated. The valley is the one I hiked up. The crags on the left were the ones that blocked my way before I changed directions and headed up the slope on the right.
It's a long way down the other side of the ridge too!
The final climb to the top was the most brutal section of all where boulders hide all of the ground below it. It was rock hopping the rest of the way to the top!
The Tourist Route! We're back on a real trail again!
Zombie hoards of exhausted hikers materializing out of the fog work their way up to the summit.
I'm finally starting to get below the clouds and out of the fog.
"Suicide lake" is ahead! That's where I split off from the Tourist Route to go around the north side of Ben Nevis. I've almost completed the circuit around the mountain!
Here's the actual junction where I split off from the Tourist Route so many hours before.... This time, I'll turn left down the mountain back the way I came.
I was waiting to read about that day! Wow! It really was difficult! Still, I kind of wish I had been there with you... not alone, though, too dangerous! Great photos, btw =).

The canning continues in full force around Chez Good Appetite. This past Friday my cousin & I headed down to the Minneapolis Farmers Market & picked up 75 pounds of tomatoes (for only $23!). We canned 50 pounds of them as crushed tomatoes to be used in chilis, soups, stews & sauces. She'll can the remaining 25 pounds as a roasted tomato sauce.
The tomatoes continue to ripen in our garden as well & I'm making a smoked tomato salsa. This is a bit of an experiment but I thought the smokey flavor would be good in salsa.
The jalapenos are also really doing well this year plus we can buy big amounts of them at the farmer's market for $1. I made a batch of hot pepper jelly this weekend & Matt plans on making his own jalapeno hot sauce.
The next thing on the list (I say that like we actually have a list of what to can) is apple sauce. We'll start with a batch of apple-raspberry and them probably just follow up with some plain.
meseidy - we actually have a large basement that is full of shelving & believe it or not we barely filled one column of shelves.

Jason Heyward traded to Cardinals
Jason Heyward stirred up enormous expectations when he joined the Atlanta Braves at age 20. He homered in his first big league at-bat. He was voted to the All-Star Game as a rookie. He was hailed as the future of the game by Hank Aaron.
Heyward never quite lived up to the hype, and now he's heading to a team looking to bounce back from tragedy.
Concerned that Heyward would leave as a free agent after next season and rebuilding with an eye toward their new stadium, the Braves dealt their right fielder and reliever Jordan Walden to the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday for promising pitcher Shelby Miller and a minor-leaguer.
"It's very difficult to trade Jason Heyward," said John Hart, the Braves' new general manager. "But the deal was made to help us not only in the short term but the long term."
The NL Central champion Cardinals felt compelled to pursue Heyward after top prospect Oscar Taveras was killed in a car crash last month in the Dominican Republic. The team hopes to sign Heyward to a long-term extension but didn't want to go into next season without adding to the offense.
"The reality is we have to move on," St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak said.
Heyward said he was not surprised by the trade, especially since there were never any serious talks on a new deal with the Braves. He is due to make $7.8 million in the final season of a two-year contract.
"This is a business," said the 25-year-old Heyward, who grew up in the Atlanta area and was one of the team's most popular players. "I was definitely open to long term, but that conversation never took place."
The deal signals a long-term strategy for rebuilding the roster by the time the Braves move into their new suburban ballpark in 2017.
Marlins: Giancarlo Stanton agreed to terms with the team on a $325 million, 13-year contract, Miami owner Jeffrey Loria said. It's the most lucrative deal for an American athlete and averages $25 million per season, or $154,321 per game. The deal includes a no-trade clause, and Stanton can opt out after six years, Loria said. A news conference is planned for Wednesday.
"It's a landmark moment for the franchise and Giancarlo, and it's for the city and fans to rally around," Loria said.
Any kind of multiyear deal is a big departure for the Marlins and Loria, whose frugal ways in the past alienated fans, angered the players' union and made the franchise the punchline of jokes.
Given such thriftiness, the Marlins' generosity toward Stanton becomes even more stunning. His contract tops the $292 million, 10-year deal Miguel Cabrera agreed to with the Detroit Tigers in March. Alex Rodriguez signed the largest previous deal, a $275 million, 10-year contract with the Yankees before the 2008 season.
Stanton, who turned 25 on Nov. 8, is perhaps the game's most feared slugger. He has 154 career homers despite playing home games in spacious Marlins Park.
Blue Jays: A person with knowledge of the deal says Toronto and free-agent catcher Russell Martin have agreed to a five-year, $82 million contract. Martin took a physical Monday and the Blue Jays are expected to finalize the deal Tuesday, according to the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was not yet complete.
Also, former All-Star Brook Jacoby was hired as Toronto's hitting. The 54-year-old was Cincinnati's hitting coach from 2007-13 and Texas' minor-league hitting coordinator last season.
Cardinals: St. Louis hired former batting champion Bill Mueller as assistant hitting coach. The 43-year-old Mueller, a St. Louis native, served as the Cubs' hitting coach last season. They finished 26th in the majors in runs, 27th in batting average and 28th in on-base percentage.
Dodgers: Los Angeles acquired minor-league outfielder-first baseman Kyle Jensen from Miami in exchange for a player to be named or cash. The deal was announced Monday night.
Jensen spent last season with Triple-A New Orleans, hitting .260 with 27 homers and 92 RBI in 133 games.
Tigers: Alex Avila's $5.4 million option for 2015 has been exercised by Detroit. Avila, who turns 28 in January, hit .218 with 11 home runs and 47 RBI last season, although concussion problems have become a concern over the last couple years. Detroit would have owed him a $200,000 buyout if it had declined the option.

Make a difference in the life of a child — and have some fun doing it!
Julien Duncan, President
I'm pleased to announce that Sugar World Foundation is launching a youth mentoring program in the 3rd quarter of 2021. In my life, I've experienced first-hand the impact encouragement, acknowledgment, effective listening, and having a role model can have in a child's life. Mentoring programs give us each a chance to contribute the rising stars in our communities. Many of you may already participate in mentoring activities, whereas others (like me) are ready to take this next step through the Sugar World Foundation Mentoring Program. I hope you will join me.
The Role of a Mentor
A mentor supports a person by helping them find ways to build confidence, courage, and motivation to set goals. A mentor exposes the mentee to tackling fundamental life challenges by drawing on their own life experience to guide them when advising the mentee.
SWF intends to focus on the young people in communities whose lives will be enriched with the wisdom and guidance of an older, more experienced person from the Sugar World Foundation Mentoring Program.
How does mentoring help? In addition to making children more confident in their schoolwork and trusting their parents or guardians, mentoring makes students.
52% less likely to skip school;
46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs;
37% less likely to miss a class;
27% less likely to start using alcohol; and
33% less likely to hit someone.
This opportunity is available to all Sugar World Foundation members and any other organization willing to partner with us in this effort.
The first step is to fill out a brief mentor application online. The application process includes a background check, introductory training session, and pairing of mentor to mentee.
SWF will provide ongoing programs to support mentors in their essential role. Mentors should plan to commit two hours per month of participation.

Girls Basketball Soars to Regional Semifinals
Gracie Long, Editor in Chief|March 8, 2016
Senior Brittany Panetti preparing to hit the ball in the tip off towards one of her teamates.
Trailing down the court, senior and varsity basketball shooting guard and senior Kim Lauritano searches for a clear shot. Protecting the orange ball Lauritano defends from an opponent then goes up for a shot. The ball goes up and rebounds off the rim into the hands of fellow senior Kendall Rollins. Finally after another attempt from Rollins the orange ball sinks through the net and the score goes up two points in OTHS favor.
"After scoring we take a minute to congratulate each other, but at the same time we know the game isn't over so we make it brief, " Lauritano said. "When we get a point it gives us the fuel we need to go for another one."
As members of the first graduating class many of the seniors have been playing on the OTHS girls basketball team sinces the very creation of the team itself. Numerous hours of practice and preparation went into making such a great team. After months of practice and winning as many games as they could, the team made it to the Regional Tournament.
"It is so cool that we made it so far, especially because we are a new team from a new school," Lauratino said. "I do not think other schools thought we would be any good, much less progress so far."
The girls basketball team continued to progress as Regional Semifinals drew closer. Excitement grew with the more games won. Despite all the practice and hours put into creating a great team they lost in the Regional Semifinals to North Shore High School.
"As one of the seniors who has been there since day one, it makes me sad to know it is all over," Rollins said. "It is very bittersweet because I am proud of how far we have come but i know for some of my teammates this is the last time they will play basketball."

Bridgegate Convictions Questioned By Supreme Court Justices (2)
By Greg Stohr and Jordan Rubin
Jan. 14, 2020, 9:18 PM
U.S. Supreme Court justices voiced skepticism about the convictions of two allies of former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for their roles in the George Washington Bridge lane-closing scandal.
Hearing arguments in Washington on Tuesday, the high court questioned whether Bridget Anne Kelly and Bill Baroni committed criminal fraud under federal law, even if they lied about the reason they closed the lanes.
The convictions stem from the 2013 "Bridgegate" scheme, which created crippling traffic jams to punish the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee, New Jersey, for failing to endorse the re-election bid of Christie, a Republican, that year.

Villa Poniatowski è una storica residenza nobiliare di Roma e sede del Museo nazionale etrusco di Villa Giulia presso cui sono conservati reperti etrusco-italici provenienti dal Latium vetus e dall'Umbria. Di particolare interesse sono parti dei corredi funebri delle tombe Barberini e Bernardini di Palestrina oltre che alcuni resti del tempio di Mater Matuta di Satrico.

Storia
La prima traccia della storia della villa fu l'acquisto del terreno da parte del cardinale Pierdonato Cesi intorno al 1570. Già nel 1581 il filosofo francese Michel de Montaigne la descrisse come una delle più belle magioni della città. Un'incisione di Giovanni Francesco Venturini del 1683 la descrive come proprietà dei Borromeo mentre nel 1702 passò dai Cesi ai Sinibaldi, come testimonia un'incisione del 1757 di Giuseppe Vasi, e poi nel 1798 ai Candelori. Successivamente il complesso fu acquistato dal principe polacco Stanislao Poniatowski, che commissionò all'architetto Giuseppe Valadier un restauro completo dell'edificio. Valadier intervenne sul casino cinquecentesco, impreziosito da ampie vasche e fontane, e sul vasto giardino all'italiana, formato da terrazze a gradoni e ornato da sculcuture antiche.

Negli anni successivi la villa passò di mano e tra i proprietari si annoverano il generale Robert Sykes, il pittore Domenico Carelli e il nobile britannico Francesco Moore Esmeade. Fu gravemente danneggiata durante gli scontri tra garibaldini e francesi nel 1849 durante la breve parentesi della Repubblica Romana. Appena dopo la presa di Roma la villa fu acquistata dalla famiglia Riganti che scelse di realizzare nell'ampio giardino una conceria.

Fu acquistata dallo Stato italiano nel 1988 per diventare una delle due sedi del Museo nazionale etrusco di Villa Giulia. Nel 1998 la Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici dell'Etruria meridionale ha portato avanti alcuni interventi di recupero in vista del Giubileo del 2000. La sede museale fu quindi inaugurata nel 2012.

It started Evey Hammond going out to see a co-worker named Gordon Deitrich. It is past curfew and she will get in trouble if she gets caught. As she walks, she is stopped by three police officers. She is about to be harmed when V, a man who wears a Guy Fawkes mask, comes in and rescues her. He then invites her to a concert. They go up on the roof. V waves around and the 1812 Overture begins playing. Evey is then shocked to see the Old Bailey be destroyed as V laughs.
The next day, V enters the British Television Network (BTN). He then forces the people there to play a message. The message goes out to all households. In the tape, V tells them that they are all to blame for the current state of government. The government can tape anyone and arrest anyone and people fear it. He then tells them that he was the one that blew up the Old Bailey and to join him next November 5 if they want to stand up to the government.
The government, meanwhile, has started to pour troops into the BTN. V fights them off, but is caught. Evey, who has been hiding, taps the man on the shoulder and sprays him with pepper spray, freeing V. Evey is knocked out and wakes up inside V's location. V carried her away because he knew she would be in big trouble for helping him.
After some time, Evey comes to help V. V wants to kill a priest. She dresses up like a schoolgirl and goes into the priest's office. However, she backs out and tells the priest that V wants to kill him. The priest thinks it's a joke until V bursts in and does so. Evey runs away to Gordon's house. Gordon has his own talk show, and one day he decides to make a big joke. He makes fun of the Chancellor Adam Sutler. In response, Sutler goes into Gordon's house and arrests him.
Evey tries to escape and is caught. She is then tortured over many days. Men plunge her face into water, throw her in a cell, and shave the hair off her head, but she will not tell them any information about V. Eventually, one of the men tells her that she will be shot behind the barracks if she does not say anything. Evey says she would rather be shot; she does not have any more fear. It is then revealed that V was behind the torture and that he wanted her to have no fear. Evey is angry but soon accepts it. She later leaves but promises to come back before November 5.
Meanwhile, a Norsefire Party worker named Eric Finch begins to look into the government. He does not trust it anymore. He realizes that V is killing everyone who was at a detention camp called Larkhill. During the movie, V kills the priest, who was at the camp; a general named Lewis Prothero, who is now a talk show host; and Delia Surridge, who was a doctor. He attempts to find out more information about Larkhill. In the movie, we learn that V was a prisoner at Larkhill and blew the place up when he escaped.
Eventually, V comes to Finch. He is disguised and calls himself Rookwood. He tells them everything that Finch has long thought – that the Norsefire found a plague and decided to infect the people to put them in power.
As November 5 approaches, the city gets restless. Riots break out. V gives out thousands of Guy Fawkes masks to people for them to wear on November 5. A member of the secret police called the "Fingermen" shoots a young girl wearing one of these masks dead.
Evey comes back. V then shows her what is going to do. He has loaded explosives into a train that will go underneath the Palace of Westminster. He then gives her the choice whether to pull the trigger or not. He then disappears.
V goes to another area, where he finds Peter Creedy, the second-in-command of Norsefire. Earlier, V made a deal with him: V would turn himself in if Sutler was killed. Creedy shows Sutler, and then shoots him in the forehead. He then tells V to surrender, but V says no. In the final battle, V kills Creedy and all of his men, but is severely wounded himself. He dies in Evey's arms.
Evey puts him on the train with the explosives. Finch, who guessed that V would use a train to blow up the Palace, draws a gun and attempts to stop her. Evey says no. When Finch asks why, Evey says, "Because this country needs more than a building. It needs hope." Finch lowers his gun and allows the train to go. Because Creedy and Sutler are dead, the army outside the Palace does not know what to do. The man in charge orders them to stand down, or to put down their weapons and not do anything. The 1812 Overture begins again, and everyone watches as the Palace of Westminster is destroyed.
