Hövel ist ein Ortsteil von Aegidienberg, einem Stadtbezirk von Bad Honnef im nordrhein-westfälischen Rhein-Sieg-Kreis.

Geographie
Hövel liegt im Nordwesten der Gemarkung Aegidienberg südlich der Bundesautobahn 3 und am östlichen Rand des Naturschutzgebiets Siebengebirge. Die Ortschaft erstreckt sich auf einem nach Norden leicht abfallenden Bergrücken zwischen den Tälern des Logebachs im Westen und des Kochenbachs im Osten und umfasst Höhenlagen zwischen  und . Nach Süden geht Hövel fließend in das Kirchdorf Aegidienberg über, zu den nächstgelegenen Ortschaften gehören auf der nördlichen Seite der Autobahn das unmittelbar benachbarte Brüngsberg sowie der etwa 800 m in östlicher Richtung entfernte Weiler Efferoth. Jenseits des Logebachtals liegt 2,5 Kilometer nordwestlich auf ähnlicher Höhe der Siebengebirgsort Ittenbach (Stadt Königswinter). Hövel wird in Nord-Süd-Richtung von der Landesstraße 143 (Rottbitze–Aegidienberg–Oberpleis–Troisdorf) auf einem Abschnitt der Deutschen Alleenstraße durchquert, südwestlich streift die Landesstraße 83 (Aegidienberg–Ittenbach) die Ortschaft.

Geschichte
Hövel wurde vermutlich wie die weiteren Orte nahe dem Ausgang des Schmelztals von Honnef aus besiedelt, das für lange Zeit hauptsächlich über den Höveler Steig zu erreichen war. Der Name Hövel (="Hügel") beschreibt die topographische Lage der Ortschaft. 1673 verzeichnete Hövel (damals noch Höffel) 16 steuerpflichtige Einwohner und war damit nach diesem Maßstab der bevölkerungsreichste Ortsteil im Gebiet Aegidienbergs. 1803 umfasste der Ort 27 Wohnhäuser bzw. Hausnummern. Hövel zählt zu den acht Honschaften, aus denen sich das Kirchspiel Aegidienberg spätestens seit Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts bis zur Auflösung des Herzogtums Berg im Jahre 1806 zusammensetzte. 1843 war der Name der Ortschaft im Rahmen einer Volkszählung noch mit Höfel angegeben. Der bis 1858 erhobene Aegidienberger Pfarrzehnt umfasste die vier Zehntdistrikte Orscheid, Retscheid, Kirche (mit Siefenhoven) und Hövel. 1874 wurde die Straßenverbindung (heutige L 143) von Himberg über Hövel und Brüngsberg bis nach Niederpleis fertiggestellt.

1923 gehörte Hövel zu den im Zuge des Widerstands gegen die separatistische Bewegung im Rheinland (Schlacht bei Aegidienberg) besonders umkämpften Orten. Am 16. November drangen einige Dutzend Separatisten in die Ortschaft ein, deren Schutz zugunsten von Himberg und Rottbitze vernachlässigt worden war. Bei dem anschließenden Gegenschlag des bewaffneten Widerstands kam der als einer von fünf in Geiselhaft genommenen Höveler Bürger Theodor Weinz ums Leben. Für die Seite der Separatisten wird die Zahl der Todesopfer mit 14 angegeben.

Ende der 1930er-Jahre machte der Bau der damaligen Reichsautobahn bzw. heutigen Bundesautobahn 3 umfangreiche Erdabtragungen nötig, um zwischen Hövel und Brüngsberg einen Einschnitt zu schaffen. Bei der nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg beendeten Flurbereinigung als Folge des Autobahnbaus kam es zur Aufgabe landwirtschaftlicher Betriebe, die aber weiterhin von wirtschaftlicher Bedeutung blieben. Als Ergebnis eines umfangreichen Bevölkerungswachstums, das bereits in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts eingesetzt hatte und in den ersten beiden Nachkriegsjahrzehnten nochmals an Fahrt aufnahm, wuchs Hövel mit dem um die Aegidienberger Pfarrkirche entstandenen Ort zusammen. Mit dem Bau der 1955 eröffneten Kreisstraße von Hövel/Aegidienberg nach Ittenbach (heutige L 83) wurde die Verkehrsanbindung in Richtung Königswinter deutlich verbessert. Seit 1999 wird der Ortsteil vom Aegidienbergtunnel der Eisenbahn-Schnellfahrstrecke Köln–Rhein/Main unterquert.

Wappen

2008 wurde durch den Künstler Richard Lenzgen eine Schiefertafel als Ortswappen von Hövel geschaffen. Es zeigt "in einer eingeschweiften blauen Spitze das von Bäumen umgebene Denkmal der Separatisten-Abwehr". Als Symbol für die lokale Bedeutung der Landwirtschaft und im Besonderen eine Scheune, in der Lohnunternehmer Getreide droschen, ist eine "in rotem Feld stehende goldene Ährengarbe" dargestellt. Auf die umliegenden Wälder und die Forstwirtschaft weisen "in grünem Feld zwei silberne Eichenblätter mit goldener Eichel" hin.

Sehenswürdigkeiten
 Als Baudenkmal in der Denkmalliste der Stadt ausgewiesen sind:
 An der platzartig ausgebauten Einmündung der Höveler Straße in die Aegidienberger Straße steht ein im Jahre 1935 aufgestelltes Denkmal, das an die Kämpfe beim Widerstand gegen die separatistische Bewegung im November 1923 erinnert. Es besteht aus einem Steinsockel mit vier Inschrifttafeln sowie einem aufgesetzten Monolithen. 1983 wurde das Denkmal erneuert, im November 2013 eine weitere Gedenktafel in Form einer Steinplatte angebracht, die die Namen von drei den Widerstand seinerzeit organisierenden Bürgern enthält.
 ein Votivkreuz an der Höveler Straße, errichtet 1913, mit erhaltener Inschrift → Eintrag in der Denkmalliste
 ein Wohnhaus an der Höveler Straße, teilweise Fachwerkverkleidung
 Die Landesstraße 143 überquert zwischen Hövel und Brüngsberg die A 3 mit einer Steinbrücke, dem sogenannten Westerwälder Tor aus dem Jahre 1938. Als eine der wenigen noch erhaltenen Steinbrücken, die in der Zeit des Baus der Autobahn entstanden sind, gilt sie mit ihrem Mauerwerk aus Grauwacke, ihrem großen Kreissegmentbogen und ihren inneren Rundbögen als Kunstdenkmal.

Sons of Liberty – Brush-Fires of the Mind
September 1, 2010 January 20, 2018 Kyle Moore (The Metal Magnus)Album Reviews
Reviewed: September 2010
Released: 2010, Century Media
Reviewer: Kyle Moore, the Metal Magnus
Jon Schaffer has been an undeniable force in (good) American metal for over ten years now. That said, his main creative outlet has been very hit-or-miss for me – Iced Earth has made a couple killer albums over the years, and more than a few turds. When I hear the raw fury of BURNT OFFERINGS or the exceptional catchiness of SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES, I get really depressed whenever I remember Schaffer's unproductive dalliance with Tim Owens after star singer Matt Barlow departed.
Now we have SONS OF LIBERTY, Schaffer's solo-ish effort that I'll cagily describe as "tea-party metal" – that's 'tea party' as in the new constitutionalist political movement, not what your little sister used to do in the backyard with dollies. Metal rarely follows contemporary politics, since it typically comes off as hokey when it does. But to Schaffer's credit, his message is straightforward and passionately delivered. He performs the vocals himself for this effort, and I was really surprised by his impressive singing ability. The power and energy of his performance comes from his conviction that his message is correct, timely, and necessary for everyday Americans to hear. To drive that message home, Schaffer's gone out of his way to make his lyrics unusually intelligible, something that's unfortunately rare in the shriek-dominated modern metal landscape.
I won't delve into Schaffer's politics, or whether they're right or wrong. If you're in the conspiracy theory business or find common ground with the new Tea Party, this will be right up your alley. A previous reviewer mentioned the internet film "Zeitgeist," which deals with similar themes found in BRUSH-FIRES OF THE MIND. The difference between the film and this album is that "Zeitgeist" is one of the most absurdly brazen pieces of crackpot propaganda recently made, whereas BRUSH-FIRES is more of a reflection of a contemporary political movement. But enough about the politics – what about the music?
The overall sound of BRUSH-FIRES is probably closest to the midtempo rockers found on Iced Earth's SOMETHING WICKED album. That being said, opener "Jeckyll Island" is a vicious thrashy killer with some nasty hooks and a furious vocal performance by Schaffer. Follow-up "Don't Tread On Me" may be the weakest track on the album, with a bland chorus and hokey lyrics about metaphorical snakes striking when tread upon. "Our Dying Republic" borrows the sound and chord progression directly from IE's "Watching Over Me" (not one of their best), but thankfully gets more interesting halfway through. Other standouts include the mournful, yet rather inspirational "Feeling Helpless" and closing mini-epic "We the People" that sounds like it was inspired by IE's BURNT OFFERINGS.
What makes BRUSH-FIRES stand out is how it steadily builds in intensity and passion, almost like a concept album. While I hesitate to call this a "concept album" since it lacks an identifiable storyline, the overall feel is similar. I felt increasingly moved by the conviction blazingly radiated from Schaffer's songs, even if I don't believe in his politics. Rabid fans of Iced Earth will doubtlessly love this CD, though the less-devoted may not be impressed. As a (very) casual IE fan, I enjoyed the heck out of this and would recommend it to anyone not turned off by the political aspect and wants to enjoy what may be Mr. Schaffer's most personal labor of love yet created.

The Chinese tech-giant is reportedly working on bringing out its latest smartphone that falls in the mid-range category soon.
Chinese tech-giant Xiaomi hasn't been making a lot of prominent headlines lately. The company, it appears, is busy working on its mid-range category of smartphones. The latest leak regarding Xiaomi's Mi 5X smartphone seems to confirm this.
Xiaomi's next mid-range category smartphone is expected to launch in the near future. Just ahead of the launch, the smartphone seems to have leaked in the form of a poster. The poster carries an image of the smartphone itself.
The image also pretty much reveals all the specifications set to come in the Xiaomi Mi 5X smartphone. On the basis of the information provided by the poster, the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 5X smartphone will probably pack a 5.5-inch display and will be powered by Qualcomm's mid-range flagship Snapdragon 625 processor. It was previously rumored that the smartphone might be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 660 processor.
However, that obviously isn't the case anymore. On the storage front, the Mobile Indian suggests that the smartphone will be able to offer 4GB of RAM along with 64GB of internal storage.
The leak was probably going to be used by The Chinese tech-giant for promotional purposes, so the information provided through the leaked poster is believable. Unfortunately, the poster does not provide any details regarding the smartphone's display resolution. Several reports, however, claim that the smartphone will have a 1080 pixel resolution. It remains to be seen what exactly will take place at the end of the day.
Xiaomi hasn't provided any details regarding what the Mi 5X's battery capacity will be like as yet.
The upcoming Xiaomi smartphone is expected to sport a dual rear camera set-up. It seems like major Android-based smartphones are following this norm of equipping their respective devices with a dual rear camera set-up. Additionally, the smartphone will also probably have a 5MP front camera for selfie-lovers. The device is expected to be built using metal. As far as the pricing of the device is concerned, the Xiaomi Mi 5X smartphone is expected to begin at CNY 1,999 that roughly translates into $295.
However, none of the above-given information has been confirmed by the company as yet. Therefore, it remains to be seen exactly what will take place. Until then, the readers are advised to take the information with a grain of salt and nothing else.


Multiple plumes of smoke from fires in Queensland, Australia, can be seen blowing southwestward. The blazes are arranged more or less diagonally across the image, from the upper left to the lower right. The plumes to the northwest are shorter and thinner than those to the southeast. One particularly long plume trails across most of the lower right quadrant.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Embattled Nebraska coach Scott Frost said Tuesday there is no tension between him and new offensive coordinator Mark Whipple following the Cornhuskers' season-opening loss to Northwestern in Ireland.
Frost, 15-30 over five seasons, said in his remarks minutes after the 31-28 loss that the Huskers need to be more creative on offense and the coaching staff must work together better.
His comments were interpreted in some quarters as criticism of Whipple, who took over the play-calling duties from Frost when he was hired away from Pittsburgh.
Asked at his weekly news conference if he and Whipple were at odds, Frost said, "No, not at all. He's really smart. Really good at what he does. We have a lot of other coaches who are really smart and good at what they do. We need to find our rhythm of putting all the best stuff together. I thought it was good on Saturday. It can be better."
Whipple is scheduled to meet with the media Wednesday. The Huskers play North Dakota this weekend.
Frost had called plays for nearly a decade, since his time as an assistant at Oregon, and he understands the singular focus the task requires.
"Simply said, if I was calling a game, I wouldn't want somebody else shoving a lot of stuff down my throat," he said. "You get in a rhythm as a play-caller. That's the approach I took. Whip's an elite play-caller. I think that showed up in the first two-and-a-half quarters. You see what can be done with this offense."
In the first half, the Huskers' offense was as sharp as it's been at any point in the Frost era. But it bogged down in the middle of the third quarter and never recovered, and the running game did next to nothing besides Anthony Grant's 46-yard touchdown run.
Frost has taken full blame for his ill-advised call for an onside kick when the Huskers led Northwestern 28-17 in the third quarter. The Wildcats recovered at the Nebraska 44, seized the momentum and scored two touchdowns while the Huskers' offense went dormant.
Frost raised eyebrows with two postgame comments. First, he said, "I think we're going to have to learn as an offensive staff that you've got to be a little creative in this league."
Later, he acknowledged it's been difficult for him to give up play-calling.
"I've said this, there's no one way to do things, but I think we can cooperate a little bit more," he said.
The Huskers rushed for only 110 yards, mostly on plays run between the tackles.
"In the Big Ten it's hard to just turn around and hand it to a back and think you're going to be real consistent," he said Tuesday. "I think I was referring (in the Saturday postgame) to having a few more things in the run game that are schemed for the particular opponent."
There was one designed run for quarterback Casey Thompson, his 1-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and backup Logan Smothers entered for one play and carried for 7 yards.
Asked if he would have liked to run the quarterback more, Frost said, "We did run some of it. If I was calling it, maybe we'd call a little more, but I also wouldn't have been able to call the things (Whipple) did to score us the first 28 points. It's going to have to be a marriage of different things and I think we'll continue to get better at that."
The Huskers finished with 465 yards, but they netted just 84 on their last six possessions.
"It was 75 plays on offense, and not a lot of complaints about the play calls from my end," said Thompson, who passed for 355 yards. "I think every run and pass play we could have executed. We have to make a few changes and adjustments."

Have you recently received an estimate for a home remodeling project? Did it seem high to you? Maybe you're researching a project you'd like to have completed in the coming months and want to know rough costs?
Depending on the scope and scale of your particular project you could be looking at an estimate with costs of $5,000 – $60,000+ or more. Some homeowners just aren't prepared for that kind of sticker shock when it comes to remodeling their home.
It's not always a case of the contractor being high-priced, sometimes the homeowners, just don't understand what's actually involved on the part of the contractor to complete the work they want done.
To make the problem worse in the remodeling world, there are many guys with pickup trucks masquerading as professional remodeling contractors. Often unlicensed and uninsured these guys are able to grossly undercut the real professionals in the industry. If you've ever heard a remodeling horror story it usually starts with accepting one of the lowest bids for the project.
Fortunately, it's not hard to discern a professional contractors estimate from a hacks estimate if you know what to look for.
Professional Remodeling Contractors Use Contracts!
Having everything in writing protects you as a homeowner and protects the contractor as a business owner who is about to do extensive work to your home. Fly-by-night contractors don't like contracts and often don't use them. For small projects this might be acceptable but if you're spending $1000's you want everything in writing.
Was the scope of work and materials list pretty vague? That's your first clue that the contractor you're dealing with isn't on the up and up.
If you've received an estimate from a professional it will likely be several pages long and highly detailed and itemized. Fly-by-night contractors don't do this, it takes too much time and effort.
When a professional remodeling contractor provides you with a home remodeling estimate it will probably be on company letterhead. You'll receive a thorough description of the work involved, the materials being used and any and all requests or special considerations you've asked for in writing.
It's not cheap to have proper paperwork drafted by a legal professional. If your remodeling estimate looks professional, it's a good first indication that the contractor behind it might be professional too. If you received your estimate on a scrap piece of paper, with a handwritten quote and vague descriptions, it might be a clue to keep looking.
Licensing and proper insurance both for employees and the projects a home remodeling contractor works on are business expenses, that don't come cheap. You'd think this one would be obvious but make sure the remodeling estimate you've received has come from a licensed and insured contractor. Believe it or not, many contractors have neither. Either because they never were licensed or they simply never renewed it (very common). What if you're contractor damages your home or property? Do you think they are organized enough to handle it?
Your estimate from a professional remodeling contractor will probably mention the fact they are licensed and insured to do business in your area.
Most professional contractors although talented builders, couldn't do it all on their own. They need a team of talented craftsman (and often apprentices) working closely with them on every project. Employees cost money. If you want good, reliable employees that continually do amazing work, they cost even more. If you look at the remodeling contractors in your area that consistently put out the highest quality of work you'll find they almost always pay their employees very well. The contractor earns the respect of his crew, and they put more effort into your project.
A large portion of your estimate will go to paying the wages of your contractors employees or sub-contractors used on your project. It is NEVER fair nor good practice to ask your contractor to lower the rates for his crew. If you think they are too high you might be better off trying to acquire another estimate. But beware, the lowest paid employees (generally fake tradesman) won't put the same quality of craftsmanship into your project.?
Will Any Special Tools or Equipment Be Required?
Some home remodeling projects may require the use of special tools, or speciality equipment that must either be purchased, rented or hired for your project. For example, if your contractor is doing a large landscaping project that involved moving lots of earth they may need to hire the services of a backhoe or an excavator. With that comes an operator, and fuel and transportation, so the costs can add up quickly.
Other special equipment could include machinery rentals, transport costs (think moving heavy material or machinery), consulting fees and more. It's important you understand what special equipment is required for your project and why because that cost is going to be passed onto you.
What Building Materials or Products Are Being Installed?
The materials you've chosen can greatly affect the cost of your remodeling estimate. Most contractors (if they are legit) will get a pretty generous discount on materials from their local suppliers. Often remodeling contractors will then mark these materials up when they bill them to you, and make a little money off the top. However, there are other contractors who opt to pass the savings onto you and instead earn their money with their expertise and the labour they put into your project.
When you have tile that goes for $2.00 a square foot up to $50+ per square foot and every other building material follows the same scale you can see how the cost of materials will greatly affect your estimate.
This is an important one and it's a little bit deceiving because while some contractors will offer you a warranty on their work, they simply just won't be around to service it. This is very common with the lowest bids on any home remodeling project. These contractors under value their time because they need the next dollar quick. It's not a guarantee that they'll be around in a year to fix that messed up tile, or the leaking shower. A professional home remodeling contractor will offer you a rock solid warranty, in writing and while that's still not a guarantee you'll just have to look at the contractors reputation, the length of time they've been in business and how they conduct themselves to make that determination for yourself.
If your warranty information is clearly detailed and explained on the estimate you've received then it's a good sign the remodeling contractor you're working with is legit.
Does Your Contractor Have Lots Of Overhead?
This is pretty important because you can learn a lot about your contractor based on how their business appears to you and the rest of the public. Does your contractor drive a $60,000 1 ton truck when a 1/2 ton, 10 year old pickup might work just fine? Do the employees drive brand new company vehicles? Do they have a large showroom? Do they employ commissioned sales staff?
These are all business expenses that will be passed onto you (the homeowner) under the guise of "we'll you get what you pay for"… That's true… But you can find a high quality contractor who puts out great work and runs a much smaller business and overhead costs. Thus, your estimate could be lower if the contractor didn't have as much overhead. Do your research here. These contractors are like well kept secrets in the community and will almost always be booked well in advance.

Have you ever found yourself awake at night, worrying about how to make a concept map? Oh good, neither have we. Concept maps are actually pretty simple. All you have to do is . . .
Exactly. And with Lucidchart, it's a cinch to make one. In concept maps, concepts are most often depicted as circles or boxes joined by lines or arrows containing linking words to show how ideas are connected. It's pretty self-explanatory and may seem somewhat banal, but professionals in schools, businesses, and hospitals frequently use Lucidchart to build concept maps for critical thinking and solving complex problems.
Ready to build your own concept map? Try using this template for a concept map to get started!
This guide will walk you through the steps of building your own concept map in Lucidchart so you can be prepared for your next big exam, business meeting, or patient appointment.
Pick a medium in which to draw your concept map. Some people prefer pen and paper or a whiteboard canvas, while others use online software specifically designed for the task. One advantage of the latter method is that your information is saved in a digital format, so it's easy to share and edit. You can choose between downloaded software that runs on a single computer or cloud-based tools that are available on any Internet-enabled device.
For the purpose of this guide, we'll proceed as though you're using Lucidchart. You can get started with Lucidchart's concept map templates. When your concept map is complete, try exporting it as an image file or sharing it online.
Begin with a domain of knowledge that you're very familiar with. Determine a central idea that connects to all other ideas on your map. If you're not sure where to begin, try identifying a portion of text, a classroom activity, or a tough problem that needs solving. It might be useful to create a single question, sometimes called a focus question, that clearly specifies the problem or issues the concept map will help resolve. It's important to build a concept map that consistently leads back to that question and its answer.
Now that you've selected a main concept, the next step is to record associated concepts. Think about related ideas and list them on the page. This list is also known as a parking lot and usually consists of around 15-25 key concepts. Describe each concept as briefly as possible; usually one or two words per idea will suffice. Keeping your descriptions concise will prevent your map from becoming bloated and text-heavy.
In Lucidchart, the simplest way to record these ideas is with standard flowchart shapes. Pick a shape that you like—most people use boxes or circles—and then drag it onto the canvas. Double-click the shape to add text.
Order each of your concepts in a hierarchical format, with the most general ideas at the top of the list and the most specific ones at the bottom. You can drag the shapes into an actual list or simply arrange them in the approximate order in which they will appear once the diagram is finished.
Your concept map will take form as you connect shapes with lines and pinpoint the correct location for each idea. Remember that concept maps typically have text, or linking words, written on each line. Linking words are useful for clearly defining the relationship between a general concept and more specific ones. The text might include a specific verb like "provides" or "encompasses." To enter words on a line in Lucidchart, just double-click the line and start typing.
Once you've created this preliminary concept map containing the basic links, add cross-links to illustrate relationships between different domains.
Does every element fit well in its respective place?
Is there a better position for this idea or group of ideas?
Can I use a more accurate linking word to represent this relationship?
Rigorous questions like these will help you improve cognitive performance and challenge your knowledge on any given subject.
Remember this is a preliminary map that will likely need revising. Small adjustments in links and positions are particularly easy to make when using an online software program. Lucidchart makes it simple to rearrange shapes on the page, add supplementary notes and comments, and even apply attractive styling to your diagram.
With Lucidchart, you can easily create organized concept maps and other specialized diagrams, right in a web browser. Start a free trial and see for yourself!

El Sauce es un municipio del departamento de León en la República de Nicaragua. La cabecera municipal dista 177 kilómetros de Managua, la Capital del país.

Geografía
Topográficamente se ubica entre la depresión nicaragüense y las tierras altas del interior. Presentando variaciones de altitud desde los 100 m s. n. m. en las partes más bajas cercanas al poblado parte suroeste y hasta los 1,100 m s. n. m. en las partes más altas parte noreste.

En el municipio predominan las serranías y colinas, se caracteriza por ser un sitio apto para la ganadería, agricultura y apicultura.

Límites
Los límites del territorio municipal son:
 al norte con los municipios de Achuapa (departamento de León) y Estelí.
 al sur con el municipio de Larreynaga (León).
 al este con los municipios de San Nicolás (departamento de Estelí), Santa Rosa del Peñón y El Jicaral (León).
 al oeste con el municipio de Villanueva (departamento de Chinandega).

Historia
En su peregrinar, la imagen era llevada por Guadalupe Trejos, encargado de velar por la seguridad de la misma, cuando llegó de paso al valle del Guayabal. Su próximo destino era Honduras. El Sauce de ese entonces era un pequeño caserío sin iglesia. La imagen del Señor de Esquipulas fue expuesta bajo un frondoso árbol de sauce en lo que es hoy el Parque Central Municipal, para que los habitantes pudieran adorarlo públicamente.

Al emprender la marcha hacia Honduras, sucedieron hechos que hasta ahora son inexplicables: el caudal de los ríos creció, la peste del cólera golpeó a la población y Guadalupe Trejos murió el mismo año, cuando intentaba regresar la imagen a Guatemala. Las autoridades eclesiásticas de ese país tuvieron que enviar a Vicente Argeñal e Hilario Arizaval para continuar el viaje de regreso del Señor de Esquipulas, pero extrañamente encontraron la muerte durante su misión. Estos acontecimientos condujeron a los pobladores a pensar que el Señor de Esquipulas "no se quería ir de Nicaragua".

A la vista de los hechos raros que imposibilitaban el regreso del Crucificado, Juan Leandro Gómez de Parada Valdez y Mendoza (1678-1751), obispo de Guatemala, autorizó que se conservara la mencionada imagen en la ermita del lugar y la expusieran al culto público. Esto dio origen a que el sitio cambiara de nombre a El Sauce.

El primer templo fue una humilde enramada o capilla provisional.

En tiempos de los que no se conserva memoria, era un pequeño caserío o comarca del pueblo de Somotillo con el nombre de "Valle del Guayabal", por aquel tiempo los comarqueños edificaron una ermita de paja. El 18 de octubre de 1723, la reproducción de la imagen del Santo Cristo de Esquipulas, de Guatemala, procedente de Jinotega y de camino para Honduras, ya de regreso de un largo viaje por Centroamérica, llegó al Valle del Guayabal y se expuso a la veneración pública en un sencillo chinamo que se hizo al pie de un hermoso árbol de sauce que había en medio del caserío, por lo que los devotos dieron en llamar a la imagen "Señor de Esquipulas de El Sauce". Tal fue la devoción de las gentes del lugar que el Obispado de Guatemala autorizó al sacerdote encargado a que conservase la imagen en la ermita y la expusiera al culto público, "pues tal era la voluntad del Señor de quedarse en El Sauce".

El segundo se construyó en el año 1750 por la devoción de don Joaquín Sarria, rico ganadero de Somotillo, que financió las obras para que la imagen tuviera mejores condiciones.

Tras independizarse de España, en 1822 se da al Sauce categoría de "villa". El pueblo crece al calor de la imagen, se hacen ferias y aumenta el progreso. Para 1840 ya era muy grande la peregrinación y en enero de cada año el pueblo y sus caminos rebosaban de sana alegría. La pequeña ermita ya era insuficiente para albergar tanta gente y para que el gentío pudiera ver la imagen, la volvían a colocar al pie del árbol de sauce. El Sauce perteneció al departamento de Chinandega hasta el 19 de marzo de 1858, fecha en que pasó a formar parte del departamento de León y en 1905 adquiere categoría de "ciudad".

En 1868 se entronizó en el recinto la entonces imagen peregrina del Señor de Esquipulas y se bendijo templo y santuario.
El 5 de julio de 1853 marca el inicio de una época brillante de la historia de la pequeña imagen peregrina de Nuestro Señor de Esquipulas del Sauce cuando el santo Obispo de León Mons. Dr. Jorge Viteri y Ungo "nombró Cura en propiedad al Br. Fernando Hidalgo adquiriendo con este nombramiento la parroquia de UUl Sauce independencia de la de Somotillo, su antigua matriz (Ibídem...) Veinte días después de este acto de gobierno moría el Obispo Viteri aparentemente envenenado por mano criminal.

El 5 de julio de 1853 la parroquia adquirió independencia de la de Somotillo, su antigua matriz.

Antes, en 1856, la señora Dorotea Galeano, de Estelí, en pago por los milagros recibidos, mandó a tallar una imagen grande del Cristo de Esquipulas, la cual se veneró en la hornacina central del Altar Mayor del santuario. Esta imagen fue destruida durante el incendio del 26 de diciembre de 1977. La nueva imagen la dono Jaromir Marcia lvianuna y fam. Esculpida en Ecuador por Alcides Montes de Oca.

El 2 de abril de 1868 el Señor de Esquipulas fue trasladado en procesión y su imagen ya no seguiría vagabundeando. Un día después se verifica la bendición del Templo y Santuario, consignándose en el arco toral. La bendición del templo, dedicado al Señor de los Milagros del Sauce, fue el 3 de abril de 1868.

Santuario dedicado al Señor de Milagros de esta Villa del Sauce. Fue en esa fecha que se realizó la inscripción del arco toral que, aún después del incendio del 26 de diciembre de 1997, indica:  "Santuario dedicado al Señor de los Milagros de esta villa del Sauce.

Declárase Patrimonio Cultural de la Nación, el Santuario "Nuestro Señor de los Milagros", en el municipio de El Sauce. Su reconstrucción y restauración deberá hacerse bajo la asesoría técnica del Instituto Nicaragüense de Cultura, a través de la Dirección de Patrimonio Cultural y con la participación de la Sociedad Civil y de la Iglesia Católica.

El templo fue destruido por un voraz incendio ocurrido el 26 de diciembre de 1997 que destruyó El Santuario Nacional de Nuestro Señor de los Milagros.

Demografía

El Sauce tiene una población actual de 31 576 habitantes. De la población total, el 50.8% son hombres y el 49.2% son mujeres. Casi el 35.6% de la población vive en la zona urbana.

Naturaleza y clima
El municipio tiene un clima tropical seco. En los últimos años se ha venido registrando una temperatura media anual de 28 °C, con un mínimo de 23,7 °C en el mes de noviembre y un máximo de 38,2 °C en el mes de marzo y abril. En esta zona se pueden observar dos estaciones bien marcadas: una seca de noviembre a abril, y la otra lluviosa entre mayo y octubre. Así mismo se registra una precipitación media anual de 1773 mm.

Localidades
La población se distribuye entre el casco urbano y 17 comarcas rurales: Campamento, Salales, Ocotal, Las Mercedes, Sabana Grande, San Martín, Valle San Antonio, Santa Lucía, Los Tololos, Agua Fría/El Pilón, Santa Bárbara, Los Loros, Los Panales, La Palma, Río Grande y El Salitre.

Economía
Las principales actividades económicas son la agricultura, ganadería, la apicultura y las actividades del comercio, en menor escala están los servicios, micro empresas y pequeñas industrias. Otros rubros importantes son el sésamo o ajonjolí, el frijol y los granos básicos entre otros sirviendo para el autoconsumo y como generadores de ingresos.

Cultura
En los tiempos pasados en este municipio se efectuaban fiestas y actividades culturales acompañadas de guitarras, mandolinas, acordeón, maracas y otros instrumentos que la misma población fabricaba. En la actualidad estas costumbres han venido desapareciendo y en su lugar han ido surgiendo grupos culturales infantiles y juveniles en el arte de la poesía, el canto, baile, danza, folklor y teatro.

Sin embargo para fines culturales, El Sauce cuenta con un local (Casa de Cultura) donde estos grupos puedan ensayar y desarrollar sus actividades o veladas culturales. En su defecto, se montan escenarios improvisados en cualquier lugar del campo o la ciudad (escuelas, ermitas, colegios, salas particulares, plazas, corredores, etc.) para llevar a cabos estas actividades.

"El Sauceño" es la canción que identifica al municipio y fue compuesta por el Orlando Urbina Herrera.

"Soy puritito sauceño de los de caite y sombrero
Siembro maíz y frijoles y no me falta el dinero
Si a mi mujer me la tocan no me gusta presumir
Porque ante un indio sauceño cualquiera se ha de rendir
Así somos los sauceños que en todo vamos primero
Aunque nunca nos quitemos ni los caites ni el sombrero.
¡Échale compadre!"

"El Sauce de Nicaragua que siempre está en el olvido
atiende a sus visitantes
Como un pueblo agradecido
El Sauce de Nicaragua con sus mujeres valientes
luchando al par de los hombres para ver su pueblo decente."

"Así somos los sauceños que en todo vamos primero
Aunque nunca nos quitemos ni los caites ni el sombrero. ¡Échale compadre!"

Tradiciones
El Sauce es el lugar de peregrinaje más importante de Nicaragua. El tercer domingo de enero, muchas personas peregrinan a la ciudad para visitar El Señor de los Milagros de Esquipulas, que es una estatua negra de Jesús en el altar de la iglesia.

Santuario nacional

El Santuario Nacional Señor de los Milagros de Esquipulas de El Sauce es un templo sobrio y elegante. El edificio tiene un asombroso parecido; no con la basílica de Esquipulas de Guatemala, como alguien ha afirmado; sino con la propia Catedral de Guatemala (1775) de estilo neoclásico. En el templo se puede venerar la imagen del Cristo Negro, o como otros lo hacen llamar, El Señor de los Milagros de Esquipulas de El Sauce. Este templo fue declarado Patrimonio Cultural de Nicaragua bajo la Ley N.º 307, aprobada el 19 de mayo de 1999 y Publicada en la Gaceta, Diario Oficial N.º 103 del 1 de junio de 1999.

Deportes
En El Sauce los principales deportes que practica la población son el béisbol y fútbol, además se practican otros deportes como el softbol, voleibol, baloncesto, atletismo entre otros.

Las principales infraestructura deportivas son el Estadio Municipal de Béisbol Juan Ramón Blancher y el Estadio Municipal de Fútbol José María Rodríguez.

El Sauce FC fundado en el 2016, es un equipo de fútbol que representa a la ciudad y que compitió en el Campeonato Nacional de Fútbol de Tercera División de Nicaragua desde la temporada 2016 hasta la temporada 2019-20 logrando en su momento el ascenso para participar en el Campeonato Nacional de Fútbol de Segunda División de Nicaragua, siendo el único equipo que compite anualmente en un torneo nacional.

Un personaje poco conocido localmente, pero sí en el deporte nacional es el atleta Francisco Javier Sánchez Munguía, quién logró ganar más de 58 medallas a nivel nacional e internacional.

Electronics such as smartphones, tablets, notebooks and wearable products are becoming more multifunctional, smaller and slimmer. Achieving higher functionality in smaller form factors requires extremely tiny ICs. Many times, different package types help reduce size and solve various design challenges. Take operational amplifiers (op amps), for example; wafer chip-scale packages (WCSP) typically enable the smallest possible footprint for optical modules and wearables, while flat no-lead packages such as quad flat no-lead (QFN) or dual flat no-lead (DFN) inspire differentiated audio functionality in personal electronics where small size, high performance, and easy testing and tuning are essential. Small-outline transistor (SOT) packages like SOT553 are suitable for emerging industrial applications such as field transmitters, which require a wide supply but a small footprint in a user-friendly leaded package.
The rapid evolution of mobile devices is driving package technology innovations, but the smallest possible package will always be the size of the die itself. The WCSP is a type of package that can be almost as small as the die, so it's desirable in applications like medical diagnostics, fitness monitoring and handheld electronic devices. The OPA2376 in WCSP (1.11mm by 2.15mm by 0.625mm) is a device commonly used for signal conditioning purpose in the areas mentioned above.
Audio in portable devices is another example where tiny packages are inspired by the consumer needs. Traditionally in the professional audio world, audiophiles like to use op amps in the dual inline package (DIP), which is more DIY-friendly for audio designers. The OPA2134 from the legacy Burr-BrownTM audio portfolio, is such an example with great audio reputation. However, with the increased demand of high-quality audio in portable devices, tiny-package high-performance audio ICs are required in order to enable the high-fidelity sound in a space-constraint design. With the implementation of the DFN package on the OPA1652 (Figure 1), a performance upgrade to the OPA2134, you will find a high-performance current-to-voltage converter with great sound quality for cost-optimized portable audio equipment, smartphones and gaming motherboards. Figure 2 shows the total harmonics distortion and noise (THD+N) performance of the OPA1652 and OPA2134 with common-mode impedance mismatching.
A tiny package may not be the only consideration for wearable devices. These types of applications typically spend most of their time in sleep mode until they are needed to measure biometric data. This requirement has inspired op amps with a shutdown feature in tiny QFN packages. For applications where power consumption is a vital concern, tiny packaging helps enable product innovation, because you can achieve both low power and a small form factor. The OPA2316S in a X2QFN (1.5mm by 2mm by 0.4mm) operates down to 1.8V with a wide bandwidth of 10MHz, as well as rail-to-rail performance, making it suitable for battery-powered designs.
Some industrial factory automation applications also require a tiny package. Often, designers prefer devices with small-outline lead packages that are easy to prototype, layout and swap with pin-to-pin-compatible ICs. The OPA171 is one of the first micropower 36V op amps offered in both a single SOT553 (1.6mm x 1.6 mm) package and a dual, very-thin shrink small outline package (VSSOP) (2.0mm x 3.1mm), providing an optimized combination of low cost and performance for applications such as tracking amplifiers in power modules, transducer amplifiers and battery-powered instruments.As a fundamental building block for a signal chain, op amps must keep pace with the emerging electronic design trends. TI has developed products in some of the smallest packages available, including WCSP, QFN/DFN and SOT553. With innovations in design and technologies, more tiny-package, low-power precision op amps are on the way. Browse TI's tiny op amp portfolio to find the best one for your next project.
The title includes both "tiny" and "precision" but - short of a photodiode transimpedance amplifier where the inputs are at the negative rail - how can anyone avoid eventual leakage without completely potting the circuit? Surface conduction will happen, at least eventually. The technique most "precision" designers use is "guarding" where an exposed copper ring around the inputs - usually strapped to ground for ground-referenced inverting configuration or bootstrapped to the output for a follower - to allow stray electrons from nearby voltages to be trapped before finding their way to the inputs, leaving a voltage difference of only Vos between the exposed metal ring and those sensitive inputs. The thermal pad on the DFN completely eliminates any possibility of precision for my designs. Because the inverting and non-inverting inputs are effectively the same voltage, those can be physically close. But on either side of both of those inputs, there needs to be room to completely encircle the inputs with a guard ring. PLEASE help communicate that miniaturization and precision will not go together easily without accommodation for guarding.
Thank you for your great feedback. I agree that PCB suface contamination can cause a leakage pathway to the input. After talking to our system and application guys, they told me that we have found that ultrasonically cleaning the PCB after assembly minimizes this effect. Alos, the leakage effect (assumiing proper PCB cleaining) really depends on the circuit where the part is used. High precision circuits that require ultra-low leakage often use amplifiers with non-standard pinouts such as the LMP7721 (3fA Ib). The DFN package has other advantages: mainly, soldering the thermal pad to the PCB mechanically stabilizes the package and often the DFN package version of a precision part will have the best temperature drift performance.


"In Venice they don't bother to peel the peppers or wash the mushrooms," Francesco remarks as he starts to discuss this savory peperonata, a vegetable melange that can double as a sauce for pasta, an accompaniment for fish, or a topping for polenta. But oddly enough, at the same time, the Venetians do not use the inside of the eggplant for this dish. "The inside of the eggplant makes the mixture too mushy and watery," Francesco explains. It's best not to use slender eggplants and scoop out the flesh to within about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) of the skin.
Quarter the eggplant and cut away the flesh to within 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) of the skin. Save the center of the eggplant for another use - a soup perhaps - and cut the skin in slivers about 1/4 inch (6 mm) wide.
Add the onion and garlic and saute over medium heat, stirring, until the onion is golden, about 15 minutes.
Add the peppers and saute another 10 to 15 minutes.
Add the eggplant and zucchini and, if needed, more oil. Continue to saute another 15 to 20 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes and cook another few minutes, then season with salt and pepper, stir in the basil, and serve. Or set aside and reheat to serve with other ingredients.


The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures offers undergraduate degree programs in German, Hispanic, Italian, and Russian studies. In addition, we offer a minor concentration in European Literature & Culture and seek to broaden students' liberal arts background. Our goal is to enable our undergraduates to develop communicative skills in at least one target language and to provide critical tools to understand the complexities of other cultural traditions. The skills acquired are invaluable for careers in business, in government, in the media, as well as in cultural and literary fields, and numerous other professions.
German Studies immerses students both in the rich literary traditions of German-language literature and in the innovative directions of transdisciplinary research. With its multiple major, minor, honors and joint honors programs, German Studies accommodates a broad range of student interests from 18th-century Enlightenment to questions of migration and multiculturalism in contemporary German culture. While students will be exposed to a broad array of courses that cover the history of German literary and cultural life, special emphasis will also be placed on such fields as film studies, media studies, print culture studies, critical theory, translation theory and the history of lyric form.
The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures - Hispanic Studies offers courses on literature, intellectual history and the civilizations of Spain and Hispanic America, as well as in the Spanish and Portuguese languages. The Department and its Honours, Majors, and Minors programs are committed to expanding the liberal arts background of students by helping to develop the skills of communication and critical reasoning, and by providing insight into the culture of other regional, linguistic and national groups.
With more than 300 million native speakers of Spanish around the World, covering more than 18 countries, a B.A. in Hispanic Studies opens many doors towards successful paths not only in Graduate School but also in a highly competitive job market. In general, the students who complete a B.A. in Hispanic Studies (Major/Honours) pursue a second major in departments such as Art History, Psychology, History, International Development Studies, Quebec Studies, and Political Sciences. After graduation, many of them continue their studies in graduate school in Spanish or Latin American Studies, or related disciplines such as History, Comparative Literature, or Anthropology, where the knowledge of Spanish language, literature, and culture is a highly valuable skill.
Italian Studies has as its mission to maintain the traditions and study of the great classics as well as to provide a window on an increasingly complex and diverse contemporary Italian culture. It promotes the study of the Italian language through an excellent and rigorous language training program. It offers courses in Italian literature, both in Italian and in English, as well as in Italian film. The department periodically invites scholars specializing in contemporary politics, the Italian immigrant experience and social change, enabling students to gain both a broader and more critical understanding of various aspects of Italian culture, through contact with specialists in these areas.
Many opportunities are open to students with qualifications in Russian and other Slavic studies. Students may be interested in the organization of human society, comparative literature, linguistics - Russian studies are highly relevant to all of these. In addition, because of similar problems in geography, climate, industrial and economic growth, Russian studies may have a particular fascination for the Canadian student.
The Minor Concentration in Russian will give students a basic working knowledge of Russian and the tools with which to explore Russian life and culture in the original. The Major Concentration in Russian gives students a foundation in the language, literature, and culture of Russia from the 19th century to the present. It incorporates a balance of instruction in the Russian language, the opportunity to read selected texts in the original language, and to explore Russian language and culture through translated texts. The Honours Russian program is for students intending to pursue graduate studies or advanced careers in the field.
The Minor Concentration in European Literature and Culture provides students with a broad foundation for understanding the development and interconnectedness of European culture and its relevance for the comprehension of today's world through the study of literature and the arts from the Middle Ages to modern times. Knowledge of a language other than English is not required to complete the program.
The Liberal Arts Program represents a contemporary approach to the traditional concept of a broad, non-specialist undergraduate formation in the humanities that is tailored to the environment of a research intensive university. The program emphasizes a classical liberal arts education, yet approaches the liberal arts from a global perspective emphasizing diversity and difference and providing new ways of engaging the liberal arts.
The program will expose students to texts from, and histories of, a wide range of cultures, societies and different historical periods. Students will be able to choose from four intellectual streams: languages and literatures; the fine arts and their histories; ethics and social thought; and history and the liberal arts.


The Mission Shaped Ministry course just gets better and better. This is a course run in Lincoln, with one evening a month and the occasional all day Saturday, looking at how we engage in ministry and in particular focussing on Fresh Expressions of Church.
Starting from a strong Biblical context the course examined what each one meant for those of us engaged in Ministry today. This is challenging stuff and it is really stretching my thinking. I`m glad to have joined the course and this sabbatical is giving me the time to explore it properly.
Began this week still feeling strange that I was relaxing, while Alison was going out to work, and while Lesley was still running the circuit office in my study. It had been a great weekend visiting Dad and seeing friends from Consett, and then on Monday morning back to earth, trying to avoid Lesley so that I didn't get caught up in circuit work. Mind you, she is terrific at telling me to "keep my nose out". I think she rather enjoys it !
Monday night saw me going to Lincoln for the Mission Shaped Ministry course I`m a part of. Excellent night looking at the spirituality of mission. More on my sabbatical page.
This afternoon had a pleasant hour with Sue, my colleague, who`se recovering from a hip operation. Good to see her looking better, although extremely bored. She`s concerned about the length of her grass and is hoping someone from the circuit will volunteer to cut it.
Tonight (Thurs.) I'm writing this having packed cases, checked passports, money etc. for tomorrow we're off on our 25th wedding anniversary cruise down the Rhine. Left Dad, who is looking after the house, with a list of instructions and telephone numbers, and then at 1.45 a.m. we`re off. Very much looking forward to it. Excited. Tell you all about it when we get back. Look it up under Rhine Cruise on the menu board at the side.
First day of my sabbatical and I ventured down into Nottingham on the evening to attend a meeting at The Malt Cross, which is a Christian run pub in the centre of Nottingham (St. James St, just off the Market Square). Apparently it was one of the worst pubs in Nottingham, not so long ago, with real violence involving drinkers throwing glasses from the balcony into the bar below !!
Howver, it now retains its decor (which is pretty spectacular), its pub menus and drinks, all combined with a Christian ethos. There is nothing lying around to suggest a Christian base, such a leaflets or church notices, but the whole ethos is contained in the staff and their relationships with whoever comes for a drink and a meal.
We were told of how conversations would arise and people would be comforted, counselled, encouraged by Christian bar staff and management. This is Christianity at its best, not preaching, but getting alongside people.
May I recommend The Malt Cross to you all next time you`re in town. Look it up, enjoy the atmosphere, have a meal and a drink. Its a pretty special place.
Well, the first week is over; 1 week gone and only 11 left !
Seriuously, it has been a wonderful pleasure not having to worry over anything in the circuit or any of the churches this week. Woke up early on Monday morning (in fact I haven`t had a lie in yet !) and it felt very strange to be able to have a leisurely breakfast, wander out for my paper and generally relax.
All week I've followed the same pattern, walking the dog, reading the paper, catching up on the telly and generally `chillin-out` as the youngsters would call it. Personally, I call it `slobbing` but, hey, I don`t care.
However on Monday evening I went to `The Malt Cross` in St. James Street, Nottingham, where the latest Fresh Expressions seminar was held. The Malt Cross is a Christian run pub. More about this on my Fresh Expressions page.
Started reading a book about the history of Christian Spirituality. It looks promising.
Ended the week by visiting Dad in the North East, meeting some old school friends, Chapel coffee morning and worshipping in my home Chapel on Sunday which was led by Rev. Terry Hurst, the Minister who was there when I candidated. It was good to see Terry again. He preached on making a difference, and I`m not sure if he will ever fully understand the difference he made to my life, with his care for us as a family when my youngest daughter was born, and later with his wisdom when I felt called to the Ministry.
So, all in all, its been a good week and a good start.
Only sad note is that I visited Alisons Dad in hospital. He`s not good at all really. Please hold him, Freda, Alison and Stuart in your prayers at this time, that the right decisions will be made.
Off to Lincoln tonight for the next part of my `Mission shaped Ministry` course. Tell you all about it next time.
Alison and I. Didn`t she marry a hansome hunk ?

Mental Health Strategy for Canada
The Mental Health Strategy for Canada
Changing Directions, Changing Lives, released in May 2012, is the first mental health strategy for Canada. It aims to help improve the mental health and well-being of all people living in Canada, and to create a mental health system that can truly meet the needs of people living with mental health problems and illnesses and their families.
A blueprint for change
Mental health concerns us all. Mother, father, neighbour, friend – one in five Canadians will experience a mental health problem or illness every year, with a cost of well over $50 billion to our economy. And many people either don't seek or can't get the services and supports they need to recover a meaningful life.
The Strategy draws on the experience, knowledge and wisdom of thousands of people across the country, and provides an opportunity for everyone's efforts – large and small – to help bring about change.
Transforming Canada's mental health system
A first phase of work was completed in 2009 with the release of Toward Recovery and Well-Being: A Framework for a Mental Health Strategy for Canada, which put forward a vision and broad goals for transforming the mental health system.
The Strategy translates this vision into 26 priorities and 109 recommendations for action, grouped under the following 6 Strategic Directions:
Promote mental health across the lifespan in homes, schools, and workplaces, and prevent mental illness and suicide wherever possible.
Foster recovery and well-being for people of all ages living with mental health problems and illnesses, and uphold their rights.
Provide access to the right combination of services, treatments and supports, when and where people need them.
Reduce disparities in risk factors and access to mental health services, and strengthen the response to the needs of diverse communities and Northerners.
Work with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis to address their mental health needs, acknowledging their distinct circumstances, rights and cultures.
Mobilize leadership, improve knowledge, and foster collaboration at all levels.

has getting into Trouble been of paramount concern in recent years. Founders: Jack Groetzinger, Russ D'Souza and Eric Waller. For instance, at this years Super Bowl XL in Detroit, local police arrested twelve people on felony charges for selling counterfeit Super Bowl tickets, and seventy-three bogus tickets were confiscated from people who tried to enter Detroits Ford Field on the day of the game. Beijing - The.S. There is also a significant security benefit to the use of contactless tickets for sporting events in general and for football specifically. That means tickets will be available in more places than ever before, allowing more fans to find and attend more events. The hybrid solution of rfid-enabled, paper-form tickets may be a short-term solution to the problems of crowd control, security, and resale prevention. What does all this portend for the Average Joe Six-Pack sports fan?
Radar Golf is a small company, based in Roseville, California, seeking to rfid-enable the game of golf with its Radar Golf System. Doing so has several advantages, including: - Preventing counterfeiting - Promoting security - Inhibiting the secondary black market for prized tickets. We are seeing that, as with the golf ball example, games themselves can be enhanced through the use of rfid technology.
Rfid will also bring heretofore unimaginable levels of information and intelligence to our games. Tune in anywhere, anytime. While World Cup tickets for this years event averaged approximately a 180 face value, one estimate from the United Kingdom projected that fifa leaves as much.6 billion (US) on the table by not charging market rates for tickets (Blau, 2006a). Indeed, the most noteworthy in-game example to date comes in the worlds most popular sport football (or soccer as we in the.S.

We laugh and enjoy the movie anyway with a side of popcorn made fresh by my dad." — Megan Ginther, Library Assistant with the epl2go Lit Vans

Last year I spent an incredible two days with twenty seven other amazingly talented photographers at Phoot Camp. It took place in this ridiculously awesome mansion in the Los Angeles hills. Actually, the home was once owned by rockstar Duff from Guns N Roses; the new owners decided to keep the decor trapped in the eighties-hay day. (rad for us photographers). Amazing friendships and long lasting relationships definitely materialized.
This year the bar is definitely raised to a whole new level. Laura, founder of Phoot Camp, Pictory and EatRetreat has decided to make Phoot Camp 2011 in Marfa, Texas (swoon). I'm really bummed to say that because of my wedding schedule this year and the planning of my own wedding, I'm not able to make it. Although I know I cannot attend this year, i still wanted to be challenged and accept and conquer the assignment of a self-portrait, something i loathe so much. Special thanks to my friends Jose and Joel for pushing me to make this my new Twitter profile pic.
