D'Sozo Camp is a family-friendly youth camp with a unique focus of community service and canvassing. It runs for one week, and is fully catered with accommodation provided. Attendees under the age of 18 are supervised by Youth Leaders.
Does camp include music production?
Yes! For the Western Australian camp, we will be aiming to produce one music video as well as spending time in communities doing community service projects and Literature Evangelism.
Following that will be LE training, and music practice.
What about canvassing / literature evangelism?
A second group will be focused on leaving health and Christian books with people on a donation basis. Any needs found while canvassing, can be passed on to the help-work team for follow-up.
Costs include food (plant-based, and as healthy as practical), accommodation and all activities for the week.


Annual check-ups are not only recommended, but highly encouraged. Preventative care and regular appointments will help you and your doctor stay on top of your health. With heart disease being one of the leading causes of death among men in the United States, it is even more important to have your blood pressure checked regularly.
At your annual appointment, you may also need to have blood work and other routine tests performed. These tests will allow you and your doctor to determine your health goals for the summer.
You are never too young or too old to develop healthy habits. Whether it's an evening walk or picking up a bowl of fruit instead of a bag of potato chips, good exercise routines and clean eating will help lower your blood pressure, cholesterol and be an overall benefit to your health.
Exercise and healthy foods not only affect your physical health, but your mental health as well.
Don't let mental health be forgotten when it comes to taking care of your body. Of course everyone wants to have healthy numbers leaving the doctor, but your mental health should also be at the forefront of your mind. Use this week as motivation to start a conversation about mental health with your physician.

It's the third album from Survivor and it sold because of one song.
The opening track and the one that broke them around the world.
The song and the "Rocky III" movie that it appears in are one of the same.
The song defines the band. It was a cultural hit.
And it all came about because Queen wouldn't license "Another One Bites The Dust". So Stallone asked Survivor guitarist Frankie Sullivan and keyboardist Jim Peterik to write a song. The song you hear in the movie is the demo version. This is viral marketing done, 1982 style. Have a cool song and put it in a movie series that is part of our culture and you have a bonafide hit. The difference between the 1980's viral marketing and the current Internet viral marketing is that the artists followed up with other successes.
Anyone heard of PSY recently?
For certifications and awards and high stream counts, "Eye Of The Tiger" has done it all and is doing it all.
Who can forget that palm muted C note to kick off the song, and then the power chords come crashing down.
But what about the rest of the album. Surely there would be other songs worthy of a mention. Of course, "Eye Of The Tiger" kicks the album and it sets a very high standard.
Eternal lyrics, they will forever be engraved into society and culture.
"Feels Like Love" is Journey style AOR rock with the synth more prominent than the guitars. It's another Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan composition. "The One That Really Matters" is a Jim Peterik composition. That intro is brilliant and groovy, but it doesn't appear again throughout the song.
It's another Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan composition but it's probably more known as a Jimi Jamison song, who joined Survivor in 1984 as a vocalist and recorded his own version for the Stallone film "Lock Up" in 1989.
It's another Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan composition. It's a copy of "Eye Of The Tiger". The only difference is the synth carries out the tasks of the guitar. And I dig this song and the groove the synths create.
It's just about life in the late Seventies and early Eighties when getting a car was a rite of passage. The American part can be changed to Australian, European, Canadian, British, etc… It's very different today. The latest gadgets have become the new rite of passage and the teens are quite happy to drive the cars of mum and dad.
Unfortunately, the rest of the songs like "Hesitation Dance", "I'm Not That Man Anymore", "Children of the Night" and "Silver Girl" are forgettable. Even the other songs mentioned above pale compared to the monolith that is "Eye Of The Tiger".
And Survivor never got to be as big as a live act as Journey or Bon Jovi, but they did have a song that crossed over and a career that went decades deep in the music and recording industry.
The Scorpions are a perfect example of patience. Their whole career was built bit by bit, country by country, continent by continent. By the time they really broke through in the U.S with "Love At First Sting", it was with their 9th album.
How many bands today stick it out for that long?
Most bands form and if they don't have instant success, they break up. Some members will leave the industry all together, focussing on jobs that pay a consistent wage, while others would move on to other projects and collaborations.
Blackout is album number 8. It started the momentum in the U.S.
During the writing and recording process, Klaus Meine lost his voice and underwent surgery on his vocal chords. While he was recovering, it was uncertain whether he would be able to record again. Don Dokken was hired to work on the demos.
I ended up getting the full album in the late 90's, again via the second-hand record shop which had also morphed into a second-hand CD shop.
All music is composed by Rudolf Schenker.
"Blackout" kicks off the album in style. Schenker establishes himself as a guitar hero and riff meister. Lyrics are written by Klaus Meine, Herman Rarebell and Sonja Kittelsen.
The morning after just a little bit too much of everything.
And then the song ends with glass shattering.
"Can't Live Without You" sounds like "You've Got Another Thing Comin" from Judas Priest. Quick, bring out the lawyers and start screaming plagiarism. Klaus Meine wrote lyrics on this one. How addictive is the chorus riff by Schenker?
A melodic and simple chorus chant. But songs like these get clichéd.
"No One Like You" is the "hit song" of the album. It's the stop start of the rhythm guitar and that lead break from Herman Rarebell that seal the deal on this song. Klaus Meine wrote lyrics on this one.
Again, great chorus, but the best songs that live for eternity, have lyrics that are not dated to a particular point in time. "Rat Tailed Jimmy" that antagonist from "Dr Feelgood" is a person that we hear about and read about constantly. "Tommy and Gina", the working class heroes from Living On A Prayer are everywhere. The "Winds Of Change" from Scorpions, keep blowing constantly and can be used as a reference point for any uprising happening around the world. That boy from Detroit that wanted to escape to the bright lights in "Don't Stop Believin" is in every one. That drifter that was born to walk alone from "Here I Go Again" is in all of us. And David Coverdale had two attempts at bringing "Here I Go Again" to the masses. The first cut of the song that the word "HOBO" instead of "DRIFTER".
See what I mean when you have better lyrics.
"You Give Me All I Need" sounded too much like "No One Like You" so it didn't get the respect it deserved on the album. Herman Rarebell is writing lyrics on this one.
"Now!" is a Led Zep "Rock and Roll" rip off merged with their very own "Blackout". Klaus Meine and Herman Rarebell are the lyric writers.
The vocal melody to the above lyrics are just too much like Led Zep's "Rock and Roll". But still, I like it.
Side two kicks off with "Dynamite". Meine and Rarebell are the lyric writers on this one. By far the best song on the album. The intro and chorus, the music feels like "Ace Of Spades" from Motorhead to me and in the verses it feels like "Let There Be Rock" from AC/DC.
When Keith Olsen was working with the Scorpions on Crazy World, he mentioned that the lyrics from Klaus were very dumb downed and stupid and they didn't do the songs any justice. So he called in songwriters like Jim Vallance and Desmond Child in to assist.
Dynamite is one of those songs that musically it is excellent. The vocal melodies are excellent, but the words that form those melodies needed more thought.
It starts off fantastic and the song could have been about the rock and roll show being an analogy of dynamite going off. But then it gets silly.
See what I mean at the lyrics not doing the song any favours.
"Arizona" is "No One Like You" part 3. A cool song, but lost on the album because of "No One Like You". Herman Rarebell is the lyrics writer.
"China White" has Klaus Meine is the lyric writer. But it's the music and the groove that get me. My second favourite on the album. "Egypt (The Chains Are On)" from Dio follows this kind of groove. Stuff like this is never going to make the radio, but it's the kind of music I play that satisfies, that makes me want to see the band live.
Now, I don't know how a title that is a reference for heroin can be linked to a song that lyrically talks about humans destroying the world with wars and calling for tolerance and peace.
"When the Smoke Is Going Down" has Klaus Meine is the lyric writer. Musically, Three Doors Down had a hit called "Kryptonite" using the same chord progression, two decades later.
Like Survivor and their mega hit "Eye Of The Tiger", Aldo Nova was another that came and went with "Fantasy".
Whereas Survivor kept on going and had a few more defining moments, Aldo Nova never had another hit again, even when Jon Bon Jovi signed him to his own Jambco label and wrote/produced a stiff/formulaic album as a payback for Aldo Nova writing the main guitar riff in "Blaze Of Glory" that he is not credited for, sort of like how Sting takes all the money for "Every Breath You Take" when in fact it's the way Andy Summers arranged his guitar parts that hooked everyone in.
"Fantasy" is Aldo's debut single from his self-titled debut and the song that classed Aldo Nova as a one hit wonder. Upon release it was a hit, going Gold within the same year. But it wasn't until 1989 that it went platinum and by 1994 it was double platinum.
The guitars to kick it off and the synth in the verses are brilliant.
Is the song about cocaine?
Lyrics make me think it is.
"Hot Love" is excellent musically, but terrible, lyrically. "Ball and Chain" and "Heart to Heart" are really good AOR rock songs. Musically, Nova is brilliant but the lyrics do let a lot of the songs down.
And "Heart To Heart" follows the same theme from "Ball And Chain".
Side two continues the tradition of having melodic rock music and "Foolin' Yourself" continues with the "Ball and Chain" and "Heart to Heart" themes.
"Under the Gun" is the B-side to "Fantasy" and by now the lyrical themes of a love lost and thoughts of revenge are getting too much.
But he followed them both and he shot at the throat, couldn't stop his hand.
And "Can't Stop Lovin' You" is again good musically, but the lyrical message of a lost love by know is just too much. Bring back the cocaine tinged "Fantasy" anytime.
Stay tuned for 1982 – Part 6.
What child doesn't love nursery rhymes? You know the ones "Humpty Dumpty", "Rock A Bye Baby", "Mary Had A Little Lamb", etc.. One thing that is certain is that these tales have survived hundreds of years.
The recording industry tells us that we need more Copyright for music to thrive. But nursery rhymes survived all this time without the recording industry and copyright.
Nursery rhymes survived because they were passed on by word of mouth and taught to children before the rhymes got committed to print.
That word of mouth promotion is the pure essence of culture. That is how culture thrives. That is how bands become superstars and have careers.
Even those beautiful sounding nursery rhymes had their origins as protest songs or political songs. "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" is about the Great Custom, a tax on wool that was introduced in 1275. "Three Blind Mice" was about the burning of three Protestants at the stake for heresy, in their attempt to overthrow Queen Bloody Mary.
Say bye-bye to the old and say hello to the new. Here is a list of the nursery rhymes that my two-year old loves.
The ultimate song about standing up against authoritative figures that want to mold you and stifle your creativity. The video clip will be forever remembered. It's part of pop culture history. The song tapped into the psyche of a whole generation of kids who felt pressured by parents and teachers to conform.
Back in the Eighties, the PMRC listed "We're Not Gonna Take It" as number 7 on their filthy fifteen list. And the reason why it was on the list. Violence. Yep, Tipper Gore and her housewives found the song to be violent while millions upon millions of adolescent teens found it empowering.
Four songs about letting your hair down. That is what rock and roll is all about.
We just want to rock.
Two songs about believing in yourself. And 25 plus years, people are still believing. Combined they have over 100 million streams.
The boom boom cha. It's undeniable.
And the way these songs are getting passed on is via word of mouth, from father to sons. That is how culture rolls. So the recording industry better deal with it.
Well the year is almost over and it is time to look back at the albums that connected and hit the mark for 2013. Anyone who has been a constant visitor to this blog will notice that I have spoken about these albums in previous posts in more detail.
Disclaimer; I was one of those fans that contributed to this album, so the competition for the best album of 2013 wasn't even close. Protest The Hero wins hands down. They delivered an album for the fans. It has everything that a condensed progressive technical metal album should have. Plus it has Chris Adler on drums. In 2011, "Scurrilous" was number seven on my list.
This album also shows how the mainstream media is out of touch. Despite all the hype around Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Dream Theater, Korn and Black Sabbath, the biggest release of the year belongs to Protest The Hero.
They connected with their audience via Indiegogo. They have cut through all the internet noise without the need of major label. In the age of information overload, Protest The Hero relied on their audience and their music to get their message through.
Call this album what you will, however no one can take away the fact that it is a damn good listen. Having those nods to the past and building on those influences is what music is all about. In twenty years time, this album will be revered and copied, because that is how music is made.
Part 1 is a killer classic metal album with arena melodic rock chorus. Watch You Bleed, Lift Me Up, The Wrong Side Of Heaven, Anywhere But Here are all rock sing a longs.
Jesse Leach is back and man can he write a catchy chorus. Each song goes through so many vocal emotions, it's one heck of a roller coaster. The Times Of Grace project brought Jesse back into the metal world. "The Hymn Of A Broken Man" was one great album and it was in my top 10 list for that year.
In 2009, I also had the self titled Killswitch Engage album at number five in my top 10 list.
This band is really branching out from the Djent constraints by embracing atmospheric style song writing. The math metal is still there and the vocals bring it all home. I have always said, TesseracT will be seen as the new Pink Floyd by a whole new generation. In 2011, TesseracT came in ninth position with the album "One". I was pleasently surprised to see this one pop in Robb Flynn's top 10 list.
Trivium have always had the balls to make decisions. Working with Dave Draiman is one of them. Seriously i cant see an issue with how the vocal melodies are phrased or delivered by Heafy. I really like this album. The music is top-notch and the songs are of high quality. In 2011, Trivium came in tenth position with the album "In Waves".
Another band that is employing data to connect with fans. They have been on the road since January and released two slabs of music within 3 months. This album doesn't have Domino The Destitute, but it has Sentry The Defiant plus others.
A Day In My Life. Man that chorus just hooks me in. Put to the side the cliché rhyming from Moody and just focus on the musical melodies and you will be hooked as well. It's been played on repeat on my iPhone on my way to work and on my way home.
"American Capitalist" was fifth in my 2011 list and "War Is The Answer" was 2nd in 2009, just behind "Black Clouds and Silver Linings" from Dream Theater.
I was a fan of this band before they broke through in the U.S. It was the "Rock The Rebel/Metal The Devil" album from 2007 that made me a fan. I was really looking forward to this release and the band didn't disappoint. It has all of their trademarks with a dash of country and hillbilly thrown into the mix.
Mark Tremonti is one hell of a guitar player and most importantly a hell of a songwriter. Teaming up with Myles Kennedy has been a godsend. Alter Bridge get better with each album and they rarely fail to disappoint.
If you don't know this band, you should. I swear every genre of music and time period associated with music is heard on this album. Give this band the attention they deserve. Their whole catalogue is on Spotify so there is no excuse to not check them out. Any band that is from Norway and with a black metal post deserves to be heard in a hard rock context.
The only thing holding this band back is what their definition of success is and Chris Clancy. He is so hung up on fighting for the old system and how it used to be, he is failing to see opportunities in front of him.
A great pop metal or pop rock album. Hearts and Hands started off as a side project for Chelsea Grin vocalist Alex Koehler. However since he departed after their 2012 self titled EP, the band has undergone a significant transformation and their sound has shifted away from breakdowns and screams to effected guitars, acoustics and great songs.
A hundred times better than the new Korn album. They even sound like Korn on some of the songs. Brian Head Welch is a star and this album proves it.
Progressive Rock and a voice that sounds very similar to Phil Collins. Plus any album that has a concept attached to it, always gets my attention. Its plot follows an alienated, unnamed human who is tired of humanity and embraces his fate as a traveler of dimensions, time and galaxies. Throughout the story, the dimensionaut constructs his escape from reality, realizing new experiences and encountering love in the process.
If this band had the same attention as Avenged Sevenfold, critics would come out and comment how each song sounds like a rip off from every successful glam rock and blues rock album made in the Eighties. Music is derivative and Faith Circus deliver. It is a great listen from start to finish. Another band from Norway that deserves your attention.
Due to my kids overdosing on the music I placed on their iPods certain classic rock albums have come back into my life.

A Study in Contrasts: Today, Democrats Will Likely Force Al Franken's Resignation. The GOP, Meanwhile, Is Backing Roy Moore.
by Jeffrey C. Billman
Yesterday, after yet another woman accused Senator Al Franken of harassment, the dam broke. Democrat after Democrat began demanding his resignation. By last night, Democrats were expecting him to do so today, though Franken's office pushed back against claims that he'd reached a final decision. Still, it's hard to see him carrying on without any support from his caucus, and the governor of Minnesota is ready to appoint his lieutenant governor—a woman—to Franken's seat if he steps down.
In North Carolina, Democratic legislative leaders Darren Jackson and Dan Blue both called for Franken's resignation, though Governor Roy Cooper did not go as far.
WHAT IT MEANS: There's some political expediency in these calls, to be sure. As terrible as it is, what Franken has allegedly done isn't nearly as bad as the accusations against Senate candidate Roy Moore—or, for that matter, President Trump. So Democrats, having forced out John Conyers and now turning on Franken, are seeking to claim to the moral high ground, with the Alabama race less than two weeks out.
"By pushing Franken to resign, Democrats believed they could 'clean the slate,' clarify their position on sexual misconduct, and draw a clearer contrast with Republicans, said senior Democratic aides and operatives. 'His continued presence in the Senate compromised our ability to communicate clearly against Republicans' complicity in Moore's candidacy and it subjected Democratic members of Congress to weeks of painful interviews where they twisted themselves into pretzels trying to defend Franken's indefensible conduct,' said Lis Smith, a New York-based Democratic strategist."
Indeed, there is a stark contrast here, no matter the motivations. The Republican National Committee just sent a check to Roy Moore, an accused child molester who has been endorsed by the president, while Democrats are forcing their own misbehavers out the door.
Related: Roy Moore's spokeswoman confirms that the candidate believes the accusations against him are part of a George Soros conspiracy and cites the Duke lacrosse case as evidence that women lie.
Related: Doug Jones is a normal polling error away from defeating Roy Moore.
Related: After Trump called one of his sexual assault accusers a liar, she sued him for defamation. The case could come down to a single club sandwich.
PAUL RYAN GIVES AWAY THE GAME.
This is as predictable as sunrise. Congressional Republicans, who throughout the Obama presidency held themselves up as deficit hawks outraged by growing government debt, are in the process now of passing a tax cut for the wealthy that will blow a $1.45 trillion hole in the budget, according to an analysis of the plan by the Joint Committee on Taxation, which Republicans simply refuse to believe. And when that's done, they're going to look you in the eye and tell you with a straight face that the country is broke so we have to cut Social Security and Medicare. House Speaker Paul Ryan has said as much.
"House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Wednesday said House Republicans will aim to cut spending on Medicare, Medicaid and welfare programs next year as a way to trim the federal deficit. 'We're going to have to get back next year at entitlement reform, which is how you tackle the debt and the deficit,' Ryan said during an interview on Ross Kaminsky's talk radio show."
"Ryan said he's been speaking privately with President Trump, who is beginning to warm to the idea of slowing the spending growth in entitlements. During his campaign, Trump repeatedly promised not to cut Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security."
Republicans are also planning to take a swing at welfare reform: "Some House Republicans believe that Congress should cut Americans off government anti-poverty programs in part to help grow the national economy. … Other House Republicans similarly argued that there would be "no excuses" for poor Americans to need welfare once economic growth took hold. 'Once we light this economy up, my brother, there's going to be jobs for everybody. So there will be no excuses for anyone who can work to sit at home and not work,' Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) said. 'If we pass tax reform, we have to have welfare reform. When you have a vibrant economy, there's no reason for Americans to suffer on welfare.'"
WHAT IT MEANS: It strikes me as very unlikely that the Senate will get behind this new push to gut benefits for seniors and kick the poor in the teeth during an election year, especially one in which Trump is historically unpopular and the GOP brand is downright toxic. The House can make these kamikaze votes if they want—and I suspect Democrats will be more than pleased to watch them do so—but this probably isn't the hill Republican senators want to die on. Still, the logic here is worth taking in: The country can afford massive corporate tax breaks, but it can't afford universal health care. The country can afford to eliminate the estate tax, but it can't afford to keep funding Social Security or Medicare or welfare programs.
FWIW: Higgins's belief that corporate tax cuts are going to "light this economy up" is belied by all of the available evidence, which predicts only modest benefits to an already-growing economy that is already nearing full employment.

Sacagawea
"Behind every great man stands a great woman," the saying goes, and there is probably no better example of this in American history than Sacagawea, whose resourcefulness, bravery, and communication skills were absolutely essential to the success of the Lewis & Clark expedition. Here, the fascinating story of Sacagawea, for kids, is told with dynamic details that make her come to life. Just 15 – and the mother of a two-month-old son – when she joined the expedition, she quickly proved indispensable; she foraged for food for the group and was adept at leading the way through Shoshone country.
On the journey, one of the most incredible things to happen to Sacagawea, kids will learn, was that she was reunited with her Shoshone family, from whom she had been kidnapped as a young girl. But she stayed on with the Corps and eventually, they made it to the coast in Oregon Territory in 1805, having traveled across the vast Louisiana Purchase. But the tale doesn't end there: Clark and Sacagawea maintained contact for years afterward, and she even sent her son to him to be educated. Plus, one account of her death has him adopting her son and daughter after she died at 25. However, Shoshone oral tradition has her living to a ripe old age of 94. No matter what the truth is, the life of Sacagawea – for kids who love tales of adventure and exploration – is a timeless one.

Australia's Manufacturing PMI climbed 4.7 points to 56.7 in August, indicating faster growth across the manufacturing sector, according to the Australian Industry Group.
Ai Group Chief Executive, Innes Willox, said the rebounded PMI in August places Australia on the cusp of two years of uninterrupted expansion.
"The manufacturing sector has confounded doubters in recent years by lifting employment and production but significant headwinds from energy costs and more recently, drought conditions flowing along supply chains, continue to see input costs rise for manufacturers," said Willox.
The Australian PMI has indicated positive conditions (results above 50 points) for 23 consecutive months – the longest run of recovery or expansion since 2005.
All seven activity sub-indexes in the Australian PMI expanded in August. Six of the seven sub-indexes accelerated, with only inventories decelerating (down 3.6 points to 51.1). New orders grew strongly (up 8.5 points to 59.6) while exports, lower than the other activity sub-indexes over the past year, jumped 8.5 points to 58.4.
Five of the eight manufacturing sub-sectors expanded in August, with expansions in food and beverages, wood and paper products, chemicals, non-metallic minerals (building materials) and machinery and equipment. The metal products sub-sector was broadly stable at 49.3, with many respondents reporting slowing demand and stronger off-shore competition.
"Food and beverage manufacturers are reporting disrupted supply and higher prices for a range of agricultural inputs, while manufacturers operating in the metals and machinery and equipment sub-sectors who sell to the agricultural sector or its supply chain are reporting reduced sales," said Willox.

Нільс Арне Егген (, 17 вересня 1941, Оркдал, Норвегія — 19 січня 2022) — норвезький футболіст, захисник, футбольний тренер та викладач з Оркдала. Кар'єра Еггена тісно пов'язана з «Русенборгом», яким він з перервами керував протягом 23 років (у період між 1970 і 2010 роком). Найуспішніший норвезький футбольний тренер, 15-разовий переможець вищого дивізіону чемпіонату Норвегії та 6-кратний володар національного кубку. Тактичний акцент Егген робиться на грі в атакувальний футбол за схемою 4-3-3, а його спосіб гри часто згадується як «натхнення» серед гравців, тренерів та клубів як у країні, так і за кордоном. У своєму рідному Треннелагу Егген шанують та вважають найвидатнішим та найвпливовішим спортсменом у регіоні, випереджаючи при цьому олімпійських чемпіонів, таких як Яльмар Андерсен та Петтер Нуртуг.

Кар'єру футболіста розпочав в «Оркдалі»; з 1960 по 1963 та з 1966 по 1969 рік виступав за «Русенборг», а з 1964 по 1966 рік — за «Волеренгу». У період з 1963 по 1969 зіграв 29 матчів у футболці національної збірної Норвегії. У складі «Русенборга» двічі вигравав вищий дивізіон чемпіонату Норвегії та 1-го разу кубок Норвегії, ще одного разу став чемпіоном Норвегії у складі «Волеренги».

У 1971 році Егген став головним тренером «Русенборгу», вигравши чемпіонат у своєму першому сезоні. У 1973 році залишив команду та очолив молодіжну збірну Норвегії. Потім очолив національну збірну Норвегії, яку разом з К'єллем Шоу-Андреассеном очолював до 1977 року. Після цього повернувся до «Русенборга», де працював до 1982 року. З 1983 по 1985 рік очолював «Оркдал». У 1986 році його призначили головним тренером «Моссом», де він у першому сезоні виграв Другий дивізіон, а потім й вищий дивізіон. Протягом вище вказаного клубу Нільс також тренував олімпійську збірну Норвегії. У 1988 році очолив «Русенборг», в якому виступав до 2002 року (за винятком відпустки у 1998 році). Вище вказаний період команди став «золотим» в історії клубу, команда 11 разів виграв чемпіонат та взяла участь у восьми поспіль сезонах у Лізі чемпіонів. У сезоні 2010 року Егген повернувся на посаду головного тренера, знову вигравши чемпіонат.

Кар'єра гравця
Футбольну кар'єру розпочав у 15-річному віці на позиції захисника в команді рідного міста «Оркдал». Згодом переїхав для навчання до Тронгейма та приєднався до «Русенборга». Разом з командою 1960 року виграв кубок Норвегії.

У 1963 році перебрався до Осло, де став гравцем «Волеренги». У 1965 році разом з командою виграв вищий дивізіон чемпіонату Норвегії. Після цього повернувся до Тронгейма, де допоміг «Русенборгу» двічі виграти чемпіонат. У 1968 році визнаний найкращим гравцем року, після чого вирішив завершити кар'єру гравця.

Кар'єра тренера
Егген призначений тренером «Русенборга» разом з Тором Росте Фоссеном, і в своєму дебютному сезоні (1971) вони вперше в історії клубу виграли «золотий дубль». У середині 1970-их років працював тренером молодіжної збірної Норвегії, а згодом і національної збірної. У кваліфікації чемпіонату світу 1978 року домашні перемоги над Швецією та Швейцарією поставили Норвегію в змагання за вихід у фінальну частину змагання. Поразка в останній грі проти Швейцарії означала, що вони не змогли вийти до фінальної частини, і лише в 1994 році норвежці знову наблизились до фінальної частини чемпіонату.

У 1978 році повернувся на посаду головного тренера «Русенборга» — команда, яка на той час виступала в другому дивізіоні Норвегії. Два роки по тому команда знову потрапила до числа топ-команд першого дивізіону. У сезоні 196/87 років тренував «Мосс», а по завершенні сезону повернувся до «Русенборга». За два роки роботи у «Моссі» вперше вивів команду в перший дивізіон у 1986 році, а потім привів клуб до першого та єдиного в його історії чемпіонства у вищому дивізіоні Норвегії 1987 року.

Gодав у відставку з посади головного тренера «Русенборга» в 2002 році. Два останніх досягнення фахівця — перемога у вищому дивізіоні Норвегії (11-ий раз поспіль) та кваліфікація до Ліги чемпіонів УЄФА (8-ий раз поспіль). Також за період перебування Нільса на тренерському містку «Русенборга» клуб неодноразово вигравав кубок Норвегії. Повернувся до клубу у листопаді 2004 року — цього разу помічником головного тренера / консультантом, але вже в 2005 році залишив займану посаду, при цьому фахівець визнав, що йому не вдалося виконати ті завдання, які планувалося ралізувати. У травні 2010 року знову зайняв посаду головного тренера «Русенборга» після того, як Ерік Гамрен зайняв посаду головного тренера збірної Швеції з футболу. Будучи виконувачем обов'язків головного тренера, допоки Ян Єнссон не мав можливості вступити на посаду, Егген привів «Русенборг» до його 22-го чемпіонства у вищому дивізіоні Норвегії.

1 листопада 2011 року знову повернувся до тренерської діяльності, цього разу очоливши клуб 5-го дивізіону чемпіонату Норвегії «Оркла». За підсумками свого дебютного сезону в команді зумів вивести команду до четвертого дивізіону норвезького чемпіонату.

У 2003 році нагороджений Королівським норвезьким орденом Святого Олафа за внесок у розвиток норвезького футболу.

Футбольна філософія
Егген згадував про натхнення нідерландським тотальним футболом та Рінусом Міхелсом на власну роботу. Фундаментальним моментом було підпорядкування індивідів (частин) цілому, щоб ціле могло перевершити суму талантів усіх своїх гравців. Часто він використовував метафору русенборзького ритму, щоб передати своє повідомлення. Він зосереджувався на швидких та масованих контратаках та формуванні захисниї гри в команді. Схема 4-3-3 відіграла важливу роль у філософії Еггена як тренера.

Цитати
 «Це надія у висячому хропінні» — виникають проблеми з перекладом норвезького прислів'я на міжнародній прес-конференції.
 «Ми граємо з двома стоперами та трьома списами» — говорячи про тактику Розенборга на прес-конференції перед грою Ліги чемпіонів (стопери означають центральних захисників, а списи — нападників).
 «Вітаю, дупо-футбол!» — (Gratulerer, rævva-fotball!), введення нового норвезького терміна, популярного з тих пір. Про це ж повторив тренер «Молде» Оге Гарейде після того, як «Русенборг» програв півфінал Кубка Норвегії 1994 року.

Well maintained property with a lot of amenities.
Our third year at 3403 - we wouldnt return if we didnt like it. It is perfect for 3 couples (parents and two married children). Fourth floor overlooks the ocean right on the beach. We bring binoculars and follow the ships in the channel going to Savannah and the dolphins. Its fun seeing storms approach across the water. Wonderful family time together.
This was definitely a home away from home. The unit was very roomy and the full view of the ocean was awesome. We called only a couple of weeks prior to renting the unit and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We had never been to Hilton Head before and received the Sea Crest recommendation from a relative. We rented bikes, walked on the beach, and the boys went para sailing. The grounds at Sea Crest are well maintained, with two large pools and a beautiful garden. The beach is only steps away with a lifeguard nearby. Most nights we went across the street to Coligny Plaza to shop for souvenirs or enjoy an ice cream cone.
Our family has stayed in Sea Crest many times over the last couple years. Unit #3403 was the nicest by far! The unit was clean and well equipped. The big screen TV was a nice touch. The views of the ocean were great! I will always try to get this unit when returning to Hilton Head.

Brandeis Athletics inducts 2021 Athletics Hall of Fame class
Matt Shapiro
The hall of fame is something held in high esteem for all athletes. No matter the league, sport or position you play, being inducted into such a place is a sign of honor, respect and, of course, a recognition of just the pure skill possessed by the inductee.
At Brandeis, that's no different. The university's 2021 hall of fame class consists of four storied coaches: baseball coach Pete Varney, men's soccer coach Mike Coven, women's soccer coach Denise Dallamora and fencing coach Bill Shipman. Having all started their Brandeis coaching careers between the years of 1973 and 1982, they have since become staples of the Brandeis athletic community, having collected a staggering number of 2330 wins between them, as well as 62 NCAA title births throughout their time with the judges.
They have placed their names in all kinds of NCAA Division III record books. From individual wins to NCAA final four appearances to coaching players that went on to play professionally, they truly did it all.
Perhaps even more importantly than all these incredible feats they accomplished are the people they were. Both on and off the field, they were more than colleagues, referred to as mentors and friends by the many who had the opportunity to play for them or were fortunate enough to coach alongside them. Many of their fellow coaches and former players spoke out about the impact they had on their careers.
As Derek Carlson '91, who was an assistant under Coach Varney for a number of years and took over as his replacement when he retired, told "Brandeis Alumni & Friends," "I learned so much under Coach Varney, both on and off the field. I've seen the kind of players that he has brought in from the opposing dugout, and I am looking forward to working with them myself."
As newly appointed head coach of the men's soccer team Gabe Margolis told Brandeis Judges in 2016, "In particular I want to say a very special thank you to coach Coven. I came to Brandeis 11 years ago to work for Coach and very quickly he became much more than just a boss, he became a great friend."
Dennis Dallamora and Bill Shipman were no different in the amount of praise attributed to each of them as well. Three-time team captain of the women's soccer team Alec Spivack '16, said in a video about her long-time coach: "Your hard work and dedication pushed me past my limits. It helped me become not only a better athlete, or a better soccer player, but the person that I am today."
Similarly, Julian Cardillo '14 expressed what his fencing coach had meant to him: "Coach Shipman is a skilled fencing instructor who truly loves the sport. But not as much as [he cares about] those he teaches." He went on to say, "[he] helped me to reach the peak of my national and international fencing career, and taught me valuable life lessons on and off the strip."
It is evident from fellow coaches, Brandeis athletic directors, the players themselves and all who interacted with these legendary coaches, that they were pioneers of their respective sports at Brandeis. Each one dedicated well over 30 years to their teams, and were a big part of putting their sport on the map. Of course they were successful, no doubt, however they were also passionate, driven and deeply cared to cultivate a greater culture of team success within Brandeis atheltics.

Q: Memory allocation for collections in .NET This might be a dupe. I did not find enough information on this.
I was discussing memory allocation for collections in .Net.
Where is the memory for elements allocated in a collection?
List<int> myList = new List<int>();

The variable myList is allocated on stack and it references the List object created on heap.
The question is when int elements are added to the myList, where would they be created ?
Can anyone point the right direction?

A: The elements will be created on the heap. The only thing that lives on the stack is the pointer (reference) to the list (List<> is a reference type)

A: The elements will also reside in the heap (in an array, that's how List works internally).
In principle, only local variables and arguments are be allocated on the stack and everything else goes on the heap (unless you use rare things such as stackalloc, but you don't need to worry about that)

Senior Championship This Sunday.
Senior Championship on Sunday.
Next Sunday August 9th is D-Day for our Senior Hurling team. We face the Cork Institute of Technology in the quarter final of the Cork County Senior Hurling Championship. In 2006 we reached the quarter final of the County for the first time ever. The following season we got to the last four. Then last year we went all the way to the Co. final – only to heartbreakingly lose by a single point to Sarsfields.
As in 2008 our championship campaign of this year commenced with a defeat. In 2006 and 2007 we'd defeated St Finbarrs in the Co. S.H.C. and last year we were going for a 'three-in-a-row' over the Barrs. Meeting in the first round however in Pairc Uí Chaoimh on the evening of Bartlemy Races, we came out on the losing side to the Barrs. We were glad to avail of the 'second chance' or 'back door' and by this route we reached the County Final.
This season we found it very hard to recapture any kind of form early in the season. The draw pitted us against East Cork rivals Killeagh. On Sunday May 3rd in Ballynoe we conceded 3-10 against Killeagh and at times it seemed we were in for a really heavy defeat. We did manage to score 16 points but we still lost by a margin of 8 points. A month later on a wet and cold June Saturday night back in Ballynoe we faced Castlelyons in Round 2 – 'the last chance saloon'. Castlelyons led early on but when we started scoring we got well on top. In the end we won by 3-10 to 0-3. This was a surprisingly easy victory – usually local derbies are very close affairs.
This win put us into Round 3 where we were drawn against Blackrock, winners of so many County Titles and three Club All Ireland titles. Pairc Uí Chaoimh was the venue on Sunday 28th June for the Rovers v Rockies clash. There was never much between the sides in this tight game. We got a perfect start when Frank Barry saved from Michael Collins but Daniel Dooley sent the sliotar to the net. Blackrock relied greatly on the free taking of Adrian Coughlan and his accuracy helped the Rockies to lead by 0-9 to 1-4 at the break. We quickly levelled and then went ahead on the resumption. The Rockies came back and got on equal terms with fifteen minutes left. We then struck 3 points from Barry Johnson, Michael Collins and Terry Broderick. The Rockies got 2 back and went looking for the equalizer. Our defence held out for a one point win1-11 to 0-13. That win put us into next Sunday's quarter final.
Our opponents C.I.T. have hurled away quietly clocking up huge scores in their 3 games to date, 3-18 v Muskerry, 1-20 v Duhallow and 2-23 v Carrigdhoun. Unlike recent years C.I.T. have been able to keep their team intact since the championship began in May. They've lost no players to foreign travel or summer jobs abroad. Being a student team their team members are all in the 18-22 age bracket. No less than 10 of their panel have inter-county experience not only with Cork but also with Kilkenny, Waterford and Tipperary.
We last met C.I.T. in the Cork Co. S.H.C. just 2 seasons ago. It was on Saturday August 18th in Riverstown when we won by 2-14 to 1-12. On that occasion we had an eighteen week gap since our first round win over St Finbarrs in early May. C.I.T. were forced to line out without several of their first choice players on the night yet we were lucky indeed to come away with a win.
Our team in 2007 was D.Fitzgerald, B Walsh, B Murphy, J Murphy, T Moloney, B Murphy, P Walsh P Murphy (0-1), B Johnson (0-5), D Ryan (1-0), S Ryan (0-2), R Cahill, M Collins (1-1), J O'Driscoll, T Broderick (0-3). Sub: B Hazelwood (0-2)
From the very start of this year this C.I.T. team have made their intentions known. They want to get to the closing stages of the Cork Co. Senior Hurling Championship. So far they have put on top class high scoring displays. Make no mistake, we will be really up against it on next Sunday evening in Pairc Uí Chaoimh. We simply cant afford to foul their forwards and at the other end we must convert our scoring chances and eliminate our wides tally or at least keep it to the minimum. The game is fixed for 7 o'clock and despite the early start we hope that we will have plenty of vocal support. This team deserves the backing of all the parish so lets see a large green, white and gold clad crowd in the Park.

Polysialic acid expression is not necessary for motor neuron target selectivity.
INTRODUCTION: Recovery after peripheral nerve lesions depends on guiding axons back to their targets. Polysialic acid upregulation by regrowing axons has been proposed recently as necessary for this target selectivity. METHODS: We reexamined this proposition using a cross-reinnervation model whereby axons from obturator motor neurons that do not upregulate polysialic acid regenerated into the distal femoral nerve. Our aim was to assess their target selectivity between pathways to muscle and skin. RESULTS: After simple cross-repair, obturator motor neurons showed no pathway preference, but the same repair with a shortened skin pathway resulted in selective targeting of these motor neurons to muscle by a polysialic acid-independent mechanism. CONCLUSION: The intrinsic molecular differences between motor neuron pools can be overcome by manipulation of their access to different peripheral nerve pathways such that obturator motor neurons preferentially project to a terminal nerve branch to muscle despite not upregulating the expression of polysialic acid.

Q: Do multiple threads Using the same object in java make a copy of it? How do multiple threads in Java handle working with a single object reference passed to them?
Do they make a copy of the object and then use it, or do they use the same one?
Any technical explanation is welcome.
I am unable to comprehend this in the context that if the threads pass some data to the object and go to sleep, while one is asleep another thread uses the same object passes data to it and goes to sleep.
Will the last data overwrite the previous one in the object?

A: You can look at java memory model. You see all objects are stored in Heap memory, which is shared across whole application. Every thread shares the same heap space, but also they have own stack memory where they store their reference to the objects. So if one threads works on object, it have his own reference to this object, but this reference is pointing to the object in heap space, which every thread will see. So to answer to your question, if second thread will do something on the object, and then go to sleep or even die, the previous thread while wake up will see those changes, because its reference is pointing to same object.
I've found interesting image which can help you understand:

image from: http://tutorials.jenkov.com/java-concurrency/java-memory-model.html

A:
Do they make a copy of the object and then use it, or do they use the same one?

Both, actually.
Modern computers are designed according to Symmetric Multiprocessor Architecture (SMP), in which several CPUs compete for access a common memory system.  In order to reduce the amount of competition, each processor has its own cache -- a small amount of higher-speed memory -- where it keeps working copies of data that belong in main memory.
Cacheing happens in the hardware, and the hardware knows nothing about Java objects, so it happens on a byte-by-byte level, not on an object-by-object level.
At the language level, there is only one copy of an object, but at the hardware level, different threads running on different processors can have their own copies of parts of the object.

The topic of how different threads running on processors can agree on what some object actually is supposed to look like is called cache coordination.
Java has strict rules about when and how different threads must coordinate their caches.  To learn more about those rules, Google for "Java" and "memory model", or "memory visibility", or "happens before."

If you don't want to read all of the gory details, the secret is in judicious use of synchronized blocks and synchronized methods.  If you only want to remember one rule, remember this:  Whatever one thread does to shared objects before it leaves a synchronized block is guaranteed to become visible to other threads after those threads enter a block that is synchronized on the same lock.

A:
Do they make a copy of the object and then use it?

No.  They all use the same object.
However, the memory system design of a typical modern computer means that some of the state of an object may be held in machine registers and memory caches associated with more than one processor in a multi-processor system.
Proper synchronization is therefore necessary for shared mutable objects for two reasons:

*

*to avoid race conditions caused by two threads trying to read / modify the object at the same time, and

*to avoid memory hazards caused by one thread not seeing variable updates made by another thread due to caching (see above).

Any technical explanation is welcome.

This is no different to how objects are passed in single-threaded contexts.  References to objects are passed by value.  No copying of objects.  Only copying of references.

Will the last data overwrite the previous one in the object?

If you implement the synchronization correctly, then yes.  If you don't then this is not guaranteed.  Indeed, it is possible for one thread to never see the updates made to a shared object ... if you don't implement the synchronization correctly.
In fact, there is a section of the Java Language Specification that defines the Java Memory Model.  This specifies what you need to do in your program to ensure that memory changes made by one thread will always be visible to another thread.

A:
Do they make a copy of the object and then use it or do they use the same one

No copy is done. Threads will use same object.

A: From a personal example.  I was making a space invaders game for personal growing and it used multiple Threads.  One Thread handled the rendering and another handled game logic.  This is before I had a firm grasp on concurrency and how to properly implement it in Java.
Anyways, I had an ArrayList<Laser> that held all of the Lasers in the system at any given frame in the game (or so I thought).  Because of the nature of space invaders, that List was extremely dynamic. It was constantly being added to as new Lasers spawned and removed from as they either went off the map or collided with an entity.
This worked all well and good, except every so often I would receive a ConcurrentModificationException.  It took me a long time to figure out exactly what was going on.  It turns out that the rendering Thread was on rare occasions being caught iterating through the List<Laser> at the same time as the game logic Thread was either adding new Lasers or removing them.
This is because when Thread 1 gets the pointer to the List objects spot in memory, it's almost as though it is in the process of "operating" on that memory block.  Thread 2 comes along and grabs that same pointer unaware that the object is already on the "operating table" being modified by Thread 1 and it tries to go about doing what it intended, only to find that what Thread 2 thought it really knew about the object was incorrect due to Thread 1's modifications.  This is what ends up throwing the ConcurrentModificationException.
This can be solved several different ways.  I think the most efficient and safe way to solve this now is with Java 8's Stream API (If done properly, it will ensure true parallelism), or you can use synchronized blocks (I think they came into existence in Java 5).  With synchronized blocks, the current Thread that is looking at the object will essentially lock it, not allowing any other Threads to even observe the object.  Once the Thread is done, it releases the object for the next Thread to operate on it.
Here is two examples of how to use synchronized:
public synchronized void xamp1(List<Laser> lasers){
    for(Laser l:lasers){
        //code to observe or modify
    }
}

public void xamp2(List<Laser> lasers){
   synchronized(lasers){
        for(Laser l:lasers){
             //code to observe or modify
        }
   }
}

A: Threads could make copies, if:

*

*you write the code to that

*the incoming objects can actually be "copied" (cloned that is)

In other words: the default is that there is no implicit copying whatsoever. Not with 1 thread; not with N threads involved.
If you need such functionality, you have implement yourself.
For simple situations, like passing a list; that can be done pretty easily (for the top level):
List<Whatever> duplicatedList = new ArrayList<>(existingList);

to then give duplicatedList to other threads. But of course: this only creates multiple lists - the list entries are still referencing the very same objects!
Deep cloning is a concept that is hard to do in java, and thus rarely used in practice.


Ever daydream about retiring somewhere far, far away?
There's only one attribute separating most empty nesters from those who live out their dreams, says David Lesperance, who specializes in the global relocation of high net-worth individuals.
"It's a failure of imagination," says the 48-year-old Hamilton lawyer, who says the cost of living is much more affordable in many other countries.
Six years from now, Lesperance plans to take flight, after draining the last bottle in his wine cellar and handing over the keys to his house to his son. And then he plans to declare his non-resident status when he files his final tax return to the Canada Revenue Agency.
"Is Revenue Canada contemplating the departure of David Lesperance from the tax regime? No," he says. "But guess what, I'm gone."
Lesperance predicts many wealthy North American baby boomers, who are set to start retiring in droves by 2011, will be giving up permanent resident status in Canada and the United States, with a significant impact on the tax base of both countries. He calls the phenomenon "the flight of the golden geese."
Harsh climate is not the only reason North Americans are looking abroad, he says.
Canada's progressive tax system is much like the United States, where he says the top 10 per cent – the golden geese – pay 93 per cent of the country's total tax revenue. But now, he says, "the golden geese are leaving."
That will leave social programs underfunded for those who remain, he predicts.
For the golden geese, any perceived financial risk of moving abroad has evaporated as the subprime mortgage crisis has revealed the North American economy to be just as vulnerable as anywhere else.
So, if financial risk exists everywhere, why not live in the country of your dreams?
While many retirees go abroad for part of the year, others decide to reduce their expenditures by becoming non-resident, for tax purposes.
To become a non-resident of Canada – so that you are not longer liable to report and pay income tax to the Canada Revnue Agency – you must first be recognized by another country as a resident.
Proving you are non-resident of Canada would usually involve selling your property here.
"You would have trouble proving you are non-resident if you have property, a spouse or dependent children living in Canada, a car or furniture, a bank account or if you maintain provincial health insurance coverage or if you maintain an Ontario driver's license," Lesperance says.
"As a tax lawyer, I advise that the cleanest break you can make is to get rid of everything in Canada, but you have to acquire them somewhere else. You can keep your RRSP, but we don't recommend keeping residences, driver's licenses or vehicles here," he says, noting that such things as golf club memberships should also be terminated.
Even if you do not maintain residential ties to Canada, you may still be found to be a resident for tax purposes if you spend more than 183 days a year in the country, according to CRA's website.
Since becoming a non-resident of Canada triggers a one-time capital gains tax on your major assets – other than for your family home – the Toronto Stock Exchange's current low levels may make this an opportune time for many to pay this so-called departure tax.
According to Service Canada's website, "Deemed disposition is triggered by your declaration that you have left the country, which you make on your final income tax return, filed by April 30 of the year following your departure. Those with assets valued at more than $25,000 must file a special form with their return."
If you keep your RRSP, you will be subject to a withholding tax equal to the tax in your adopted country, usually about 25 per cent. Your CPP, while it can be collected abroad, will be subject to the same withholding tax.
Non-resident status doesn't require you to give up your Canadian citizenship or passport, so you will always have a right to return to Canada and re-qualify for provincial health care coverage. However, the same is not true for landed immigrants, who should seek Canadian citizenship before they leave, Lesperance warns.
"You should get proper legal counsel on this," he says. "Your decision may affect not only your future, but your children's and grandchildren's."
Lesperance warns that if you move to a country other than the 75 nations with which Canada has a tax treaty, you may be subject to double taxation.
It is also important for retirees to look at the estate and gift taxes in the adoptive country.

Home Nigerian News Politics 400,000 barrels of Nigeria's oil stolen daily – Timipre Sylva
400,000 barrels of Nigeria's oil stolen daily – Timipre Sylva
Dr Timipre Sylva, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, said that the country loses 400,000 barrels of crude oil daily to thieves.
He said this on Monday when he paid a courtesy visit to Gov. Hope Uzodimma of Imo at the Government House, Owerri.
According to him, the development is best described as a "national emergency".
Sylva regretted that the nation had fallen short of OPEC daily quota, from 1.8 million barrels to 1.4 million barrels, due to crude theft.
However, he warned that such a huge economic loss was capable of crippling the nation's economy, if not given the seriousness it deserved.
Nigeria loses N4.5T to oil thieves, suffers 4,919 oil spills
Diri extols Sylva's contribution in Bayelsa
The Minister expressed concern that the menace had persisted, despite the efforts by the Federal and State Governments to arrest it.
"It is a national emergency because the theft has grown wings and reached a very bad crescendo. This is because the thefts are taking place in the communities that host the oil pipelines.
"As a result, it has become necessary to involve the stakeholders, especially the host communities. And because of the height and orchestrated nature of the menace, Nigeria could not take advantage and opportunities that abound in gas production.
"This is because no investor would want to invest where there is incessant insecurity and vandalism of the infrastructure," he said.

Strength in Numbers as Challengers Prepare for Softball Season
Author: The Voice Share:
By Robert Fenbers
The women's softball team feels like they can compete with anyone this upcoming season, they might be right.
During the offseason the ladies are focusing on toning their skills and preparing for the grind and tear of the season, something they have admitted they didn't take very seriously last year. "They felt that they were stronger than they were and that they didn't need to work hard," said Coach Bryan Komlos. He is going into his sixth season as the head coach for the Challengers. "These are hardworking girls that can compete with any Division 2 team," says Komlos.
The Ladies are coming off a strong outing last season with a 21-17 record and a trip to the regional final. Though they were successful, they know they could have done better. Sophomore, Catcher/Third baseman Mary Gorski thought the team came out strong but waned towards the end of the season. "We lost the cooperation and team work towards the end of the season but, I think this year it will be better," said Gorski.
A large part of their strong outing was the sensational play from Aubrey Szalay. She didn't just break the Tri- C record books last year, she shattered them. Setting the record for Most Hits, Most Doubles, Most Home Runs, RBI'S and On Base Percentage. After her record setting season she is now setting her sights on possibly joining Division 1 Lamar University.
She, along with a number of other girls, have moved on, leaving the Challengers with a total of five returning players. Jennifer Pierce, Mary Gorski, Paige Lucas, Kahla Von Bergman and Abigail Knechtel will look to lend their experience and expertise to their teammates this season
P/CF Emily Mystic- Emily is beginning her first season as a Challenger and has been named a team captain. "I feel honored that I got that title and my teammates nominated me," she said.
C Mary Gorski- As team captain Mary is returning for her 2nd year as a Challenger, she will look to build off last season's success including her 11 stolen bases and 25 RBI's.
LF Paige Lucas- "Tink" as they call her returns for her 2nd year as a Challenger. Her nickname comes from her resemblance to the character Tinkerbell. Tink had 41 hits last season including 11 doubles.
During this offseason these ladies have put many long hours into improving their game. They are dedicated to getting back to regionals and finishing the job.
All five returning players (pictured above) hope to lead the Challengers back to regionals this season. Photo by Robert Fenbers
