This summer we are offering 3 super exciting camps! We have a truly incredible line-up of coaches coming to the camps. These coaches represent what many would consider to be some of the best coaches the USA has to offer. The Staff will be slightly different at each camp and may offer something just a little different for the participant. These outstanding coaches were sought out to coach at VaultWorX because their programs reflect a similar model and encouraging styles that VaultWorX strives for every day.
8:30AM to 4:30PM Daily. (no lodging)
Lunch will be about 1.5 hours daily to give athletes a breather between sessions.
Great $5 lunches from a great local sub shop will be available for purchase.
Wednesday a chartered school bus will be taken to Pinchot State Park during lunch for swimming, games, and some R&R (about 2.5 hours).
2019 Summer Camp Schedule:
Registration is now open:
Coaching line-ups will be updated in the coming weeks leading up to the camps. It will be another exciting Summer at VaultWorX!!
Camp #1 - June 24th - 27th (Mon - Thurs)
Coach San Hensh - Pole Vault Coach at West Virginia University.
Coach Hensh coached at the VaultWorX camp this past December. He is "fired up"!! Just a few years at WVU has seen the program take a huge step forward and is quickly making a name for himself as a knowledgeable and passionate coach. He has a unique and detailed insights of how to get the most out of your run and plant. We can't wait to hear him ask for "just one more coffee" as he brings super passion and intensity to every session. Currently, Coach San has a girl who is tearing up collegiate meets with a PR 0f 14'5 and climbing.
San Hensh has a lifetime best of 16'6". In high school, he was a multi-year PA State medalist and PA State Champ. His high intensity coaching, with a heavy dose of encouragement has produced outstanding results including a female collegiate vaulter with a PR of 14'+ and numerous high school state medalists in just a few short years.
Coach Tony Dodds - Pole Vault Coach - Kutztown University
 Coach Dodds has a track record longer than his arm. While at KU, Dodds has coached five All-Americans and six PSAC Champions! He has coached at Wilson High School where both of his sons competed...both clearing over 16' in high school! Coach Dodds pole vaulted in college for Penn State University. Coach Dodds has an endless list of coaching successes including many athletes from last year's camps...many of the athletes PR'd at camp and went on to have outstanding years.
Coach Jake Hensh -
You will be VERY, VERY lucky to work with Coach Jake. He is SUPER fired up! And will find the best in every athlete he works with. When I need a pep talk...he would be one of my first calls. Coach Jake has a lifetime PR of over 16'. Recently graduating from College, he is already recognized as a fantastic coach. We are so excited to have Coach Jake back.
Katie Jones - 2017 Indoor National PV Champion - PR 13'9.5"!!
Four time PA State Champ, set records at almost every meet she jumped in, and is the All-time best female vaulter in PA history. Beyond all that...Katie is one of the most intense and positive people you will ever be around. She has a complete understanding of the vault and has already been noted as a great pv coach. She will be loved by the lucky campers who get to work with her! **Update to Katie's bio...after camp 1, a parent (who is also a track coach) said he was shocked to hear Katie coaching. He said he would have guessed she had spent the last year studying to be a coach rather than an athlete. We also received several emails noting how much their child loved working with Katie. Good stuff right there!!
Matt Concannon - Founder and Head coach of VaultWorX. Coach Concannon had the pleasure to directly coach the top athletes at VaultWorX who achieved the following results in 2017: Between MD and PA and the different school divisions...VaultWorX had 6 different athletes who were State Champions.

Coach Bob Phillips - Pole Vault Coach Virginia Tech
Former Virginia Tech All-American Bob Phillips is in his 31st year as coach of the Hokie pole vaulters. During that time, the vault program at Virginia Tech has risen to national prominence and to the top of the ACC. In the ten years of ACC membership, seventeen different Virginia Tech vaulters have qualified to the NCAA national championships a total of 45 times where they have earned All-America honors 34 times including three silver and two bronze medals. In that same time period, Tech vaulters have claimed 51 ACC conference medals including 26 ACC conference vault titles, more than all other schools in the ACC combined. In all, Phillips has coached 37 vaulters (26 men, 11 women) to conference championships since joining the staff, one junior national champion, seven NCAA medalists (top 3), and one qualifier to the IAAF World Championships.
While competing at Tech, Phillips set the school record in the indoor and outdoor vault. He was a four-time NCAA national qualifier and was named an All-American in 1980. Phillips was also a member of the U.S. National Team that took on Great Britain in 1984 and competed at the U.S. Olympic Trials in July of that year. He was inducted into the Tech Sports Hall of Fame in 1999. Phillips has coached vaulters to 37 conference championship titles and was also a three-time Metro Conference, four-time indoor Virginia collegiate and four-time outdoor Virginia collegiate champion.

Tye Harvey
Tye represented Team USA at the 2001 World Indoor Championships where he claimed the Silver medal. Tye has been involved in the sport of pole vault since the mid-1990s and was a multiple All-American at the University of Minnesota and graduated high school as the number one pole vaulter in the country.

Ciacco () is one of the characters in the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri that was not yet well defined by historians. This is how he presents himself to Dante when he is in Hell:

This way introducing himself allows us to interpret it in various ways, but one of the oldest commentators of the Comedy suggests a derogatory nature of this name: "Ciacco is said to be a pig's name, hence he was called this way for his gluttony."

Giovanni Boccaccio makes of Ciacco eighth story of the ninth day of the Decameron, describing him as "the most gluttonous fellow that ever lived." However, the reference to Ciacco's name is somewhat ambiguous: he is referred to as the man "whom everyone called Ciacco." It is hard to say if Boccaccio had sources for his writings aside from Dante, because this name has not been found in literature before Dante. According to Vittorio Sermonti, a scholar dedicated to the study of the Comedy, the hypothesis that this Ciacco is the poet Ciacco dell'Anguillara is not true.

Q: Calling a function of en external javascript file In general... How can I make a call on a function of an external java script file?
More specific...

*

*In the head tag i have

<script type="text/javascript" src="JScript/FontSize.js"></script>

*

*The external javascript file, (that i would like to call) FontSize.js contains the following functions.
function checkCookie()

function setCookie(c_name, value, expiredays)

function getCookie(c_name)

function increaseFontSize()

function decreaseFontSize()`

*The FontSize.js is located at the ~/Jscript/ directory
I guess the body on load should contain something like
<body onload="/JScript/Fontsize.js/checkCookie()">
Of course nothing works as it should because, i do not know how to make the call to a function to an external js file

A: You just call it as if it were local :)
<body onload="checkCookie()">

Or, do it in script:
window.onload = checkCookie;

When you declare a function and it's not in another object/namespace, it's just globally available, and you can call it as if it immediately preceded your current code.  By default these functions will be on the window object, you can see a short demo here.
For example (doesn't matter where this function's defined, external or not):
function myFunc() { alert('hi'); }
myFunc();
window.myFunc(); //same call, unless there's *another* myFunc in a local-er scope

A:   <html>
        <head>
            <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="main.js"></script>
        </head>
        <body>

    <!--The extranal main.js file contains samp() function.. -->
            <script>
              <!--    samp(); -->
            </script>
        </body>
    </html>

Overseas Sports Panicking Over Omicron; Will U.S. Follow?
November 29, 2021 by admin 0 Comments
The Omicron coronavirus variant wreaked havoc on sports overseas this weekend. Given this news, guess who is once again ready to sound the alarm for sports over here in the States? Yes, it's Dr. Anthony Fauci, who's already using this development to apply another full-court press for vaccinations.
Three sports in Europe and Africa — golf, cricket and rugby – have already been impacted by reactions to the arrival of Omicron. Several European golfers withdrew from a DP World Tour tournament in Johannesburg, South Africa. The Netherlands canceled its cricket series against a South African rival. Rugby games were postponed. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen recommended the suspension of flights until more becomes known about Omicron.
Might flight and sports shutdowns be headed our way? Don't put it past Dr. Fauci; his trigger finger ever ready to recommend shut-it-all-down mode. For now, it's yet another tool for him and the Biden Administration to push vaccinations.
"So it clearly … has the capability of transmitting rapidly," said Fauci, the doctor of doom. "That's the thing that's causing us now to be concerned, but also to put the pressure on ourselves now to do something about our preparation for this."
COVID-19 infections and deaths are currently in decline in the U.S., but they are on the increase in Africa.
Wasn't the Delta variant supposed to be the second coming of the plague in America? Wasn't that variant over-hyped and essentially used as a scare tactic to pressure people to get vaccinated? Are we heading there again?
As sports fans returned to college and pro football, baseball, hockey and basketball in huge numbers this fall, fears of super-spreading masses of spectators were not realized. How many times can health experts cry the sky is falling?
Unlike Dr. Fauci, who said the return of maskless spectators to football stadiums this fall was not smart, another high-profile health official is not as pessimistic about Omicron. Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health in the United States, has not seen any indication that Omicron causes more serious illness than previous variants.
Dr. Fauci, the White House chief medical adviser on COVID-19, told CNN's Brianna Keilar:
"Obviously, as soon as we find out more information, we'll make a decision as quickly as we possibly can. You always put these things on the table, but you don't want to say you're going to do it until you have some scientific reason to do it. That's the reason why we're rushing now to get that scientific data to try and make an informed decision about something like that."
The devil's in the details and what he's not saying. What "decision" is being considered? What "things" are being put on the table? Will it result in shutdowns of businesses, churches and sports arenas again?

In two previous articles I wrote on Philippine royal genealogies, I discussed the impossibility of the descent of the Laurel family from the Sultanate of Brunei and the interrelatedness of the Sultanates of Sulu and Brunei. In this third article on Philippine pre-Hispanic nobility, we will look at the royal houses of Matanda, Lakandula, and Soliman, whose descendants were considered the cream of the principalia crop.
Some writers and researchers have traced the Lakans of Manila and Tondo further than the three big names: Matanda, Lakandula, and Soliman. However, all of these have no archival references making these slightly suspect in terms of its veracity. Some of the sources of these online genealogies were probably from other articles compiled over the years, and while others cite genealogical charts from this and that source these charts themselves do not have any archival basis.
In various Wikipedia entries and some other online articles and family tree sites that would all look authoritative to the uneducated eyes, it is generally accepted that Matanda and Lakandula were either first cousins or brothers and that Soliman was their nephew. It is further written that they were grandchildren of the Brunei Sultan Bolkiah, which these articles also claim was the same as the Rajah Baguinda, whose daughter married the man who began the royal dynasty of Sulu. Some also claim he was the same person as Noble Araw, one of the legendary pre-Hispanic rulers of Luzon.
In the genealogy above, it must be noted that the genealogies scattered online claim that this Noble Araw was the same person as Rajah Baguinda (or Baginda) of Sulu and Sultan Bolkiah of Brunei. Noble Araw's wife, Lady Maylag, was allegedly the same as Putri Laila Menjanai, the daughter of Sultan Amirul-Umara, who reigned from 1505 to 1527, being one of the sons of the founder of Sulu's sultanate, Sultan Sharif al-Hashim. Thus, using this line of thinking, Rajahs Matanda, Lakandula, and Sulaiman III were all descendants of not only the royal houses of Tondo and Manila but also of Brunei and Sulu.
The Houses of Lakandula, Matanda, and Soliman (1571-1898): Genealogy and Group Identity, written by Luciano P.R. Santiago for the Philippine Quarterly of Culture and Society, Volume 18, No. 1, published in March 1990. His primary source came from a bundle of 12 folders from the Philippine National Archives called Descendientes de Don Carlos Lacandola, which contains genealogical data on the descendants of Lakandula as well as valuable information on the lines of Matanda and Soliman. (Personal copy of this author).
The History of Sulu, written by Najeeb M. Saleeby and published in 1908 in Manila by the Bureau of Printing. Saleeby's work contained the Sulu tarsila showing the genealogy of the sultants of Sulu. This was shown to him by a former prime minister of Sultan Jamal ul-Kiram II, the last sultan to truly rule with power. He surrendered political powers to the US government in 1915 under the 1915 Carpenter Agreement. (Accessed from the University of Michigan's online library).
Silsilah Raja-Raja Brunei, written by Amin Sweeney and Selesilah of the Rajahs of Brunei, written by Hugh Low. A detailed genealogy compiled from both sources (as well as many other sources) can be found in the Royal Ark, maintained by Christopher Buyers. (Accessed from Buyers' site).
I have shied away from other sources which did not use any archival or traditional Moslem (use of the tarsila) sources as I wanted to make sure that this discussion would truly give the truth of the ancestors of Matanda, Lakandula, and Soliman as well as show how they were truly related to the royal houses of Sulu and Brunei.
How Were Matanda, Lakandula, and Soliman Related?
As the family tree above shows, there were several intermarriages among the royal houses of Manila and Tondo, Sulu, and Brunei, and Matanda, Lakandula, and Soliman were descendants of Sultan Bolkiah of Brunei and Sultan Sharif al-Hashim of Sulu.
In looking at the previous family tree it is very likely that earlier researchers were confused with the interrelationships of the three royal houses and most likely combined some individuals into one. However, it is now clear that the Lady Kalangitan in the first tree was the same as the daughter of the Datu Gamban of Sulu who was the first wife of Sultan Bolkiah of Brunei. This Datu Gamban must have been the basis of the character of Rajah Gambang of Tondo.
Because of their pedigree, the three main focus of this post were all married into the royal house of Brunei. Cases in point were Rajah Matanda, who married a granddaughter of Sultan Bolkiah, his own first cousin; Don Agustin de Legazpi, a nephew of Soliman III, who married another granddaughter of Sultan Bolkiah; and Rajah Soliman III who married still another granddaughter of Sultan Bolkiah, who was the daughter of Bolkiah's successor, Sultan Abdul Kahar.Although it isn't recorded, it is very highly likely that Lakandula, too, married into the royal house of Brunei.
Although Rajah Matanda designated his nephew, Soliman III, as his successor, he had a son, called in archival documents as Ambrosio Mag-isa. Although this son never ruled any part of Manila, he had four children who continued the line of Rajah Matanda.
All the descendants today of Rajah Soliman III come from his daughter, Maria Laran, as his only son, known as Rajah Vago, was killed by the Spaniards.
And of course, the most prolific of the three, Rajah Lakandula had five children, four of which have descendants today. The fifth, Martin Lacandola, entered the Augustinian order to become a priest. Many people throughout the Philippines have, in various points in history, have claimed descent from Lakandula, including the Macapagals of Pampanga, the Salonga family, and some other distant families with surnames with the Dula word in it. So far, none of these claims have archival, verifiable documentation and thus could only be considered as hearsay.
Next article: The later generations of the Lakans of Manila.


Q Why do the family say it was Hydrogen Cyanide?
A HAZMAT Commanders who are specialists in Hazardous Chemical detection only detected Hydrogen Cyanide in the house. It is recorded as "Very High Levels" in the National Incident Log Book that went to two Emergency COBRA meeting. The machines and the data were independently verified. VOC's were also detected they are a leaching landfill calling card.
Q Are you sure it couldn't be Carbon Monoxide (CO)?
A It can't be CO because none was detected in the home by HAZMAT, the house would have been riddled with CO. Plus the coroners lead pathologists stated in Court Zane's Carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) level of 8% was non fatal http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3705032/Inquest-shock-Pathologist-investigating-death-seven-year-old-boy-tells-coroner-police-failed-reveal-high-levels-cyanide-gas-child-s-flooded-home.html Smokers have twice this level. If 8% were toxic, all smokers would be dead. These point's evidence that no petrol appliance could have been on. Zane's house was all electric with electric pumps and additional electric pumps. The fact no petrol pump was on was confirmed by more than 6 first hand witnesses during the day, and all emergency service responders about 20 of them.
A It's a Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) used in chemical warfare to kill people. It was the gas used in WWII Concentration Camp gas chambers.
Q Were the family's symptoms consistent with HCN poisoning?
A Exactly as the medical and research papers say.
Q Why did the Right Honourable Andy Burnham get involved?
Q Can landfill poison people?
A Yes - Father collapsed and remains permanently paralysed, mother collapsed and official records show 17 people were ambulances to hospital.
A question to you – What type of a country do we live in where a child is killed and there is no investigation on why Hydrogen Cyanide was in the area? Or where it came from? Why was the area evacuated for weeks and a pop-up decontamination unit established? do you think Porton Down (world's top military instillation for chemical weapons) get involved in CO cases?
ZANE SHOULD STILL BE ALIVE TODAY. HE IS SO DESPERATELY MISSED BY ALL WHO LOVE HIM.

In the past two years I became interested in finding out my family genealogy. I was told all our "facts" by my parents during childhood but somehow their stories didn't seem legitimate. I knew my father's descendants were late comers from Germany. The Korves family arrived to America during the 19th century. Unfortunately, being farmers and blue collar workers by trade, the Korves family's focus was not on their history but in feeding their kids and making a living . So that is as much as I knew about my father's descendants.
My mothers side, the West family, could never decided on what we were. First we had to be Irish, then Scottish, and finally Danish. Who would guess the kids from the West family didn't take interest in their past? Even if we were interested where would we start?
Forward to 2017 with all the DNA testing commercials blanketing the advertising airwaves. I thought it would a good time to find out just how German the Korves family really was. So I ordered a DNA spit test and I got my answers back in a few weeks time. I must admit I was totally shocked at the test results. I thought for certain I would have at least fifty percent German DNA. The test results stated otherwise. It was made up of seventy nine percent British DNA. I asked myself how this could be true since I knew for a fact my father's family came from Germany? I began researching for the answers.
These were my initial results. Ancestry.com has recently changed their ethnicity groupings which I will display afterwards.
My DNA results came back as 79% Great Britain, 5% Scandinavian, and 7% other regions.
At this point I started working on my family tree. Note: If you are interested in doing a family tree I would recommend using Ancestry.com web tools. I have had really good luck with the results. As a bonus, if you have other family members on Ancestry.com who already have their trees created they can share the research with you. This allows you to build your family tree from their mappings.
After about a week of data mining I discovered that most of my dad's family were located on the coastal areas of Germany; Prussia to be more precise. Apparently in these regions there was a lot of intermarriage with the English. These areas are now diluted with English DNA. Mystery solved!
Just recently Ancestry.com has updated their ethnicity groupings. I'm not sure why this was done but the groupings became broader in scope.
Now my DNA stats read 88% England, Wales, and Northwestern Europe, 7% Germanic Europe, and 1% other regions.
Ancestry.com continually updates their mapping software. Here is a few screenshots of what the ethnicity groupings look like on their website.
Here is a screenshot of my ancestor's settlement areas here in the United States.
My most recent family members (within the last eight years) are settle in southern Illinois near the boarder with St. Louis.
So far most of the cool stuff I found was through my grandma on my mother's side. Their family surname is Eubanks. Here are some screenshots of the famous people who make up my ancestry.
I found this interesting since my mom was huge fan of Roy Rogers. The link is via Sir Thomas "5th Baron of Morley" de Morley 1393-1435.
The Eubanks are also related to George Washington by link to his father, Augustine Washington 1694-1743. My 14th great-grandfather.
I guess that make George Washington 1732-1799 my 14th great-uncle.
This ancestor I find more odd. My great grandmother claimed to be part Native American but I never new why. I'm skeptical of this family tie to Chief Powhatan since from my research claims he was married to one hundred women. This family relation is thru marriage not by blood. I'm not sure where my great grandmother bloodline received its injection of native DNA. Hopefully I can find this in the near future.
Chief Wanhunsonacock Powhatan 1545-1618 (father to Pocahontas).
I guess I'm related to Pocahontas 1595-1617 by marriage.
Now I get into more familiar territory. Back in the 1990's one of my cousins started researching our family trees. He had found some documents pointing our family ties to Scotland. I will admit I never got to see the records he collected but he seemed certain of his findings. Unfortunately he passed away before I was able to see him again.
The most interesting famous person I have came across so far is still through the Eubanks family. My grandma on my mother's side, is related to Scottish royalty. Robert de Bruce 1274-329 and at least two other kings of Scotland. I know it's not William Wallace, but this is a pretty neat find.
Isabella de Mar 1277-1296 was the wife of Robert de Bruce.
The oldest record I found so far is of Roman/Frankish origins. Alan Senecal Dol 1044-????
There is a plethora of knights, sheriffs, rogues, and other people in my mother's family tree. The above are just the more interesting finds I have made. Until next time, go…Scotland!
