WSU student who died at campus fraternity house was a Bellevue native
Death of WSU student at campus fraternity house may be alcohol-related
PULLMAN, Wash. – A 19-year-old Washington State University student died at a campus fraternity house Tuesday morning, and police say his death could be alcohol-related.
According to Pullman Police, officers responded about 8:35 a.m. Tuesday (Nov. 12) to an unresponsive 19-year-old at the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity house on NE Lindon Street.
Police said members of the fraternity had performed CPR on the student, but medics said he was dead when they arrived.
The student who died has been identified as Samuel Martinez, 19, of Bellevue.
His family released the following statement to Pullman Police:
We want you to know and remember some things about Sam -- his amazing athleticism, the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled, his sharp mind, his sense of humor and his steadfast loyalty to his family and friends.
Sam was a beautiful spark of light, a comet that came and went through our lives too quickly. We are overcome with grief. And we are so grateful for your prayers and well wishes through this unbearable loss.
‐‐Hector, Jolayne, Ariana Martinez and our extended families in the US and Mexico
Investigators say the death could be alcohol-related. The Whitman County Coroner's Office will release the student's name and cause of death.
WSU said fraternities and sororities on campus have voluntarily suspended all social events for the rest of the semester.
"The University extends its deepest condolences to all those impacted by this heart-breaking situation," the school said in a prepared statement. "The University is actively providing counseling and other support to the student's family, fraternity members and classmates. We ask that you please respect their privacy during this time of personal sorrow."
The WSU student's death is the second death at a fraternity in the past week. A San Diego State University student died after a fraternity event last week. The school's president suspended 14 fraternities in response to the student's death.

Which Huge, Embarrassingly Backward European Country Is Financing Massive Fracking Protests?
Eric Owens Editor
December 01, 2014 12:38 AM ET
Russia is a lumbering failure of a country which has seen at least two coups d'etat in the last century. Its population is on a steady decline. Its annual gross-domestic product is on a par with Italy, a grossly inefficient country with less than half as many people and some 6.5 million fewer square miles.
However, the Russian government has a long, stellar reputation when it comes to meddling in the affairs of other nations. The latest effort at intervention appears to be an effort to thwart multinational energy corporations from engaging in hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in Eastern European countries, reports The New York Times.
Romania, a member of the European Union, is widely believed to be among Russia's primary targets for meddling.
Last year, rural and otherwise very obscure parts of Romania became a destination for zealous anti-fracking activists after Chevron, an American company, began exploratory drilling. Clashes between police and protesters became violent.
The same basic scene has also played out in Lithuania and Bulgaria.
Many Romanian officials blame the Russian government and Gazprom, a huge Russian corporation (that was the Soviet Ministry of Gas Industry until 1989), for financing and organizing the movement to demonize fracking.
Russia and Gazprom, the reasoning goes, desperately want to stop fracking in Eastern Europe because they want Eastern European countries to remain dependent on Russian energy. New sources of energy are bad news for the economic interests of Russian oligarchs and bad news for the Russian government, which would like to use energy policy to coerce nearby nations.
"I have met allies who can report that Russia, as part of their sophisticated information and disinformation operations, engage actively with so-called non-government organizations — environmental organizations working against shale gas — obviously to maintain European dependence on imported Russian gas," NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said in September, according to Foreign Policy.
"It is crucial for Russia to keep this energy dependence," Iulian Iancu, chairman of the Romanian Parliament's industry committee, told the Times.
"You have to realize how smart their secret services are," Iancu also said. "They will never act in the spotlight."
Iancu believes Gazprom has spent about $100 million to finance the activities of anti-fracking activists in various European nations.
"Energy is the most effective weapon today of the Russian Federation — much more effective than aircraft and tanks," Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta told the Times.
"Everything that has gone wrong is from Gazprom," the mayor of a small Romanian town where protesters gathered said, according to the paper.
None of the four men could offer hard evidence to prove their beliefs.
Russia does not have a long or impressive record of concern for the environment. However, the country's leadership has expressed grave concerns about fracking.
The practice "poses a huge environmental problem," Russian president Vladimir Putin has said, according to the Times. Moreover, he alleged, areas where fracking has occurred "no longer have water coming out of their taps but a blackish slime."
Fracking also poses a huge economic problem for Russia. The country would benefit from higher oil prices. However, oil prices are in freefall thanks in large part to the effect of fracking on the petroleum industry.
Oil prices have fallen more than $30 per barrel in recent months (from over $100 per barrel to around $70), notes Fox News. Gas prices have tumbled accordingly.
Interestingly, while localized protests have been largely effective in driving Chevron out of Eastern Europe, Gazprom has engaged in its own attempts to develop fracking pipelines in the region. For example, Nis, Gazprom's Serbian division, is exploring the use of the technique in western Romania, along the Serbian border.
Gazprom's fracking explorations in Eastern Europe have been met with virtually no protest in Romania — the very country where protests were so fervent against Chevron.

Q: URL is getting launch for one Test Only while trying to run the two Test In parallel I am trying to run two Test Methods in Parallel. Once the Test is Initiated , URL is launched on only one browser and goes blank for the Second Test. Also i observed, that if I remove
driver manage() window() maximize();
delete Cookies Etc, then URL launches for both the Test although One Test Gets executed and another one gets failed with the error'stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document'.
Can anyone tell me how we can achieve parallel Testing ?

    Expected- Both the Test Should Run in Parallel

    Actual- Only one test is getting executed as second one is getting failed

A: You will need to make the WebDriver thread safe using ThreadLocal . As you are running the method in parallel its creating the problem for the Webdriver defined in TestBase . Please check below code . You should move the thread local implementation in separate class . For now modified your code as an example.

Introduction: Fetal cardiac arrhythmias are discovered in about 1% of fetuses and most of them are supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Persistent tachycardia with a fetal heart rate (FHR) more than 220 bpm could lead into congestive cardiac failure and can manifests as non-immune fetal hydrops. With the rapid advancement in fetal echocardiographic skills, such arrhythmias can be diagnosed accurately during prenatal life by using M-mode echocardiogram and Doppler.
Case 1: A 28 year old primigravida was referred from Jaffna due to fetal tachycardia and ascites detected at routine scan at 27 weeks. Detailed anomaly scan including cardiac evaluation was performed after admission to our unit and SVT with a heart rate of 278 bpm with hydrops fetalis found with no other gross anomalies. Mother was started on digoxin 0.25mg twice a day and changed in to sotalol 80mgtwice a day after 48 hours. Sotalol omitted and flicanide 100mg twice a day started after 4days. Because of persistently high FHR Cordocentesis done and 30μg of digoxin injected to umbilical vein and 4 days later amioderone 5mg injected. Subsequently FHR decreased to 137 bpm.
Case 2: A 38 year old, mother of one was transferred from Badulla due to fetal tachycardia at 36 weeks. Scan at our unit revealed Ebstein anomaly of fetus lead to re-entral tachycardia. Atrial rate was 338 bpm and ventricular rate was 168 bpm. Baby delivered electively and admitted to SCBU.
Discussion: Fetal SVTs may be associated with adverse perinatal outcome. Development of fetal hydrops is a poor prognostic factor and placental oedema reduces transfer of drugs to fetus. Early identification and intervention (before development of hydrops) will lead to better perinatal outcome.

…that a redwood tree releases as much as 160 gallons of water into the atmosphere each day?
…that you can survive about 3 to 4 weeks without food, but only about 5 to 7 days without water?
…that water is our greatest cleanser and detoxifier?
…that each year, nearly 10,000 cubic miles of water flow along the world's rivers to the oceans?
…that nearly 97% of the world's water is salty or otherwise undrinkable, that 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers, leaving just 1% for all humanity's needs?
…that water regulates the earth's temperature?
…that water regulates the temperature of the human body, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, cushions joints, protects organs and tissues, and removes wastes?
…that about 77% of the human brain is water?
…that about 75% of a living tree is water?
…that ice floats because water expands by 9% when it freezes, making it less dense than in its liquid state?
…that a loss of more than 10% body water can prove fatal?
…that blood plasma, our body's natural waterway, is 90% water?
…that we exhale about 20% of our water intake?
The publicity being given to escalating energy costs may give the impression that oil is our most valued resource. Nations fight over it, and prices continue to rise. But did you know that water is more valuable than oil, and more likely to bring conflict? Why?
Because life cannot exist without water.
Without water, the forests would dry up, the grass would die, our farms would fail and there would be no food for our tables. The oceans would be gone and the many creatures that live there. Take a tiny drop of water and view it under a microscope, and you will see many creatures moving about in it. They, too, would perish. Even creatures of the desert, some of which never drink, would die because their food supply would be gone, and they depend on the food they eat to give them the water they need.
A quick look at the quantity of water required to produce various products will help us understand the value of water.
Everything living must have water to survive. It might be said that water is even more important than food. It is estimated that one can live about 3 to 4 weeks without food, whereas one would die in about 5 to 7 days without water.
But this only concerns the water we drink.
Have you ever considered the water we breathe—does it surprise you that humans breathe water too? Well, we do, though not to the extent the fish uses it for respiration. But each breath we inhale contains water—it can be as much as 100% RH (saturated with water) by the time it enters the lungs.
It is said that the human body is about 60% water, the brain 77 to 78%, blood 82% and the lungs 90%. Water is basic to all life forms, plant and animal. Were it not for water's unique ability to dissolve so many different substances, our cells could not use the many nutrients, minerals and chemicals needed to support life. Its ability to transport these vital nutrients to all parts of the body is due to its "stickiness" (from surface tension). By a very complex process water carries the metabolized carbohydrates and proteins our bodies use as food to every part of our being.
Also due to this stickiness, water is one of nature's best cleansing agents. After dropping off its load of nutrients, it sticks to waste products, picking them up and carrying them through our arteries to the lungs for disposal.
This "stick-ability" property of water makes it a useful cleansing agent, from the simple washing of our hands to the cleansing of the earth's atmosphere by complex weather systems which produce precipitation. Is it any wonder Christ used the term "water" as a symbol of the cleansing words He spoke?
Rarely do we even think of the drink we are enjoying when we add to water a little lemon and sugar and call it lemonade, or pour it over tea leaves or ground coffee beans and call it tea or coffee. Even the fruit juices we drink are primarily water.
The United States is not exempt from water shortages. Because its abundant supply is claimed for irrigation of arid lands, the Colorado River is only a trickle** by the time it reaches the ocean. Aquifers, nature's large water storage tanks, are being depleted.
Farmers that were depending on irrigation for their crops are turning more and more to dry farming, resulting in more expensive produce.
Sometimes just diverting water-flow can cause great harm. Some years ago Senators Paul Simon and Harry Reid visited Usbekistan. While there they visited what had been a port city on the Aral Sea, reported to have been the third*** largest inland sea in the world. About 1960, Russian engineers had convinced Nikita Khrushchev and other leaders that they could increase cotton and rice production by diverting the waters flowing into the Aral Sea for irrigation purposes. The idea was that once the fields were saturated the water would again begin to flow into the sea. What the visitors found instead were hulks of large boats marooned 50 miles from water. The irrigation idea did not work as planned.
Aralsk was once a major fishing port on the Aral Sea. Today one would have to travel about 100 miles from there to reach the main body of the sea. It is thought that by the year 2015, the Aral Sea could totally disappear.
In order to sustain life, the Everlasting God made abundant provisions for humankind and all creatures on earth. When these provisions are studied, their complexity and delicate interdependence and balance give strong testimony to the wise Master Designer.
But we must not limit our vision to the here and now. The discerning eye sees design with purpose—pointing to the purpose of the Master Designer. There must be more, and there is! Through His written Word the Creator has given us a far vision, a glimpse into eternity. And this view includes short-lived human beings changed to immortal beings.
This earth will be filled with joyful individuals who will never suffer the agony and fear of death, pain or sorrow, where the water of life will flow freely, abundant to all.
Do you want to be included in that joyful time? Do you want that eternal life He is offering? You can have it, if only you make Him your choice now; if only you choose to abide by His precepts with all your heart.
*Paul Simon 1998, in his book Tapped Out, The Coming World Crises in Water and What We Can Do About It.
***Other sources put this figure at the fourth largest inland sea, now the eighth.

Ravens Academy in Clacton-on-Sea has earned a rating of 'Good' with 'Outstanding' leadership from Ofsted following an inspection in July 2015.
Part of the Academy Transformation Trust family, Ravens Academy was graded 'Good' in four of the five categories and 'Outstanding' in the leadership category. This is a remarkable improvement as the school was judged 'inadequate' before converting to an academy. 'Outstanding' is the highest rating a school can receive, while 'Good' is the second highest. 'Inadequate' is the lowest rating.
The report also describes pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development as 'very strong' and pupils as 'well-prepared for life in modern Britain'.
Karen Hammond, Principal, said: "We are delighted with this incredibly positive report which reflects how far we have come since becoming an academy.
"Ofsted have recognised the improvements in teaching and learning throughout the academy and this fantastic result is down to the hard work of staff and pupils.
"Thank you to everyone for your incredible efforts.
Ian Cleland, Chief Executive Officer of Academy Transformation Trust, commented: "The report reflects the fantastic work Karen and her team are doing to provide pupils with the first class education they deserve and gives parents the confidence of knowing that their children are receiving an excellent education.

A syndicate bid is a bid offered by a member of a banking syndicate to stabilize the price of a stock before a secondary offering of this stock is offered on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ) exchange. Syndicate bids are a way of managing the entry of new shares into the market without a dangerous resulting drop in the price of the stock.
A syndicate bid is an attempt by a member of the trading syndicate, meaning a bank member or brokerage member or trader, to stabilize the price of a specific stock traded on NASDAQ and reduce volatility of the stock and the market as a whole. A syndicate bid is placed right before the stock is going to make another offering of shares to the market. When this new group of shares enters the market, supply of shares will go up with no immediate direct increase in demand for those shares, so the price per share will decrease.
The influx of new shares available for purchase and the drop in price that results causes volatility and direct financial loss for current shareholders in the stock. To prop up the price of the stock so the resulting drop isn't so large and damaging, the syndicate member places the highest bid possible for the stock to establish a higher price for the stock. Essentially, the syndicate bid establishes a high base rate from which the influx of new shares will lower the price. Without syndicate bids, a secondary offering could tank the price of a stock or cause extreme volatility or a fast market. Syndicate bids are a way of managing the availability of new shares without harming the stock itself, current investors or the NASDAQ as a whole.
It is possible to assume that a syndicate bid is a form of insider trading or an attempt to short a stock. However, since the entrance of new shares into the market is announced officially before it happens, this cannot qualify as insider trading. And because the intent of a syndicate bid is to prop up the price of the stock rather than to cause it to fall to benefit from shorting it, the charge that syndicate bids are shorting attempts is equally invalid. Syndicate bids are a technique known by all involved to manage the entry of new shares, and are not a violation of ethics.
A normal-course issuer bid is a predominantly Canadian phrase that describes the repurchase of stock by a company from the public markets.
A sealed-bid auction is a process in which none of the bidders knows how much the other participants have bid.

For this recipe, you will need hot Italian pork sausage, onion, Diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and tomatoes, tomato sauce, penne pasta, water, Parmesan cheese.
This is a simple dish that relies solely on the quality of the ingredients. The most important ingredient is the sausage. Did you think I was going to say pasta? Well, a good quality penne pasta is second in importance. It's the hot Italian pork sausage that gives this easy recipe its amazing taste.
Can you substitute with another type of meat? You could, but then you wouldn't have Italian sausage pasta or the fabulous seasoning that comes with that meat.
If you or your family don't like spicy food you could get a milder Italian sausage and it would still be good. We bought our sausage in bulk — you could buy the links and remove the casing.
We used imported Italian penne pasta for this recipe. What wheat the pasta maker uses makes a big difference. At your favorite grocery store, look at the ingredients that are printed on the pasta boxes. The pasta we used had only two ingredients — organic durum wheat semolina and water.
The water that the pasta maker uses is also important. Our brand takes pure mountain spring water that produces a fine dough. You don't want any "off" tastes coming from the water.
Another old world practice that the artisan pasta makers use is to extrude the dough through bronze dies to create a rough texture.
cooks to al dente every time.
Here's a good place to learn a little bit more about the history of pasta.
If you start with quality seasoned canned tomatoes and a good brand tomato sauce you're recipe will be a success.
The ingredients already have salt in them so we didn't find it necessary to add any more. We did add a pinch of hot pepper flakes just because. 🌶😉 The pasta really didn't need it, we just like it spicy.
Once the pasta absorbs all of the liquid and it turns into a yummy sauce, the one-pot dinner is done. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese over the penne pasta recipe and stir in.
You can make it ahead of time — the dish tastes great reheated. I made this recipe early in the afternoon and I reheated it later that evening. It tasted just as good as when I first made it. Nope, not just as, it was even better.
We hope you make this recipe. We can guarantee that it'll become a favorite. Just keep the simple ingredients in your pantry, well not the sausage, but the rest and you'll always be able to whip up a delicious dish at a moments notice.
These recipes are easy to make and perfect weeknight dishes!
Un caro saluto, e alla prossima.

We are staying in a suites hotel for eight weeks while my husband undergoes radiation therapy. I love to cook and he is gluten and lactose intolerant so I am always looking for a new one pot dish. I came armed with my Instant Pot (actually two of them!) so I am ready to make meals that are healthy and meet hubby's diet restrictions. Thank you so much for this. I just make it without the Parmesan and add cheese to my portion.
That sounds like a wonderful idea, Sharon. Saying a prayer for you and your Hubby!!
Oh wow I have never thought about all of the pieces that go into an artisan pasta! The water and the bronze, oh my gosh. I need to get some but I'm also worried it'll change my life forever so that I wont be able to eat anything else. What an incredible looking dish!
One-pot dinners are everything in my house on a busy night! I love the hearty pasta and sausage- my boys would love this meal!
So easy and easy cleanup! I modified with rice instead of pasta and it was also a crowd pleaser!
Hi, Kelly!! I'm so glad to hear that. Thank you for letting us know about the rice. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
We all need quick and delicious meals for busy weeknights. I can eat pasta every day. Sasauge and pasta are the perfect match here. I know hubby would love this, and the leftovers would be great for lunches too.
I love one pot dinners, especially when pasta and sausage are involved!
This looks and sounds positively mouth-watering – and I love that it can be made ahead and reheated! I also am jealous that you can buy your Italian sausage in bulk – I will have to look for a source for that, because it would be so wonderful to always have it on hand!
What a delicious combination of flavors! I know this will be a big hit with my family!
Looks really delicious and I bet you could freeze it well too, or make it in advance. Love the fresh basil garnish!
Gorgeous pasta!! I love all that black pepper and basil on top 🙂 This is basically what I crave every single night of the week!
Thank you, Sues! We do love our pasta and then zing it up with hot sausage — YUM!
What a delicious sounding pasta dish… and we all need more quick and easy meals like this for busy weeknights! Thank you!
You're welcome, Meredith! I love sharing recipes.
This looks delicious! I love that it's a one-pot recipe – so great for weeknight meals!
Thank you, Kathryn! Not only do adults love the taste, but the little ones too.
Well hello, one pot perfection! This is my favorite kind of dinner – simple, flavorful, and easy to clean up. I just picked up some chicken sausage at Trader Joe's that I think would go great in this!
Hello, Jordan! You go for it!! I bet Giotto's sausage will be fantastic.
You are so right, the better quality the ingredients the better the dish. I think this is especially true for tinned tomatoes and pasta. It really is worth paying that bit more if you can. This looks like such a rich and tasty dish, perfect for a great weeknight dinner.
You are so right about using top quality ingredients when it comes to simple Italian recipes like this beautiful pasta you made. Makes a wonderful weeknight dinner!
Wow! Not only is this recipe absolutely delicious sounding, but this post is so informative!
Now I'm hungry for your pasta — and it's only 8 a.m. here! As always, a delicious meal you've prepared.
What a beautiful hearty pasta dish! I love penne. My family probably eats pasta once a week. So good! I love the red pepper flakes addition.
Dear Marisa, This looks absolutely delicious…I love meals like this. I know my family would absolutely love this!
These are perfect dinner meal for busy week nights, best part is that it is loaded with flavor and also we can make it in one pot.
That looks yumm! Perfect for those busy nights or on a relaxing weekend, love that 20 Minutes tag!!!
You are so right, Priya! It was so good we're planning on making it again very soon.
Pasta in 20 minutes and one pot got me interested! Love this for a weeknight dinner. I am always rushed for time for the dinner and these are a lifesaver.
Absolutely, Sandhya!Quick and easy clean-up is fantastic.
Thank you for an idea for today's dinner. I have all of the ingredients in the house! Well, all except for the fresh cheese but will get that as well. Thank you.
I love pairing sausage and pasta….and spicy sausage for sure in this house. This is a great dinner, and I would be happy serving this to guests too. Bring on the wine…party on!!
I love Italian sausage so I know this will taste awesome. Love how simple and easy this is to make. I'm going to try this soon when I get my hands on some Italian sausages. yum!
Oh, wow.. you had me at 20 mins. This is my kinda meal on busy days when I'm busy with a cake and still have to make lunch before kids get home from school. Love how easy this is Marisa.
I was sold at '20 minutes' but then add in the fact that it's all in one pot and I'm hooked!
Hi, Lauren! I'm with you. Love speedy.
Love this spicy, hearty and comforting pasta dish. Making it in one pot makes it so much more easy and convenient.
Made this after I watched your facebook video. It was equally easy and delicious. My son finished it up the next day, and said it was even better after it sat overnight!! He loved the flavor. Thanks for this fantastic post, Marisa!
Love Italian sausage mixed with everything. Your recipe looks delicious and the photo is a beauty.

Solute dynamics and the Ontario nitrogen index: I. Chloride leaching
Reynolds, W.D., Drury, C.F., Parkin, G.W., Lauzon, J.D., Saso, J.K., Zhang, T.Q., Liu, K., Welacky, T.W., Yang, X.M., Tan, C.S., Calder, W., Oloya, T.O., Reid, D.K. (2016). Solute dynamics and the Ontario nitrogen index: I. Chloride leaching, 96(2), 105-121. http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/cjss-2015-0069
© 2016, Agricultural Institute of Canada. All rights reserved. The nitrogen (N) index for humid temperate southern Ontario, Canada (Ontario N index) incorporates previous and current crop type, fertilizer and (or) manure management, and hydrologic soil group (HSG) to estimate risk for contamination of tile drainage water and groundwater by nitrate leached below the primary crop root zone (top 60 cm of soil). The Ontario N index has received limited ground-truthing, and the leaching component was assessed using chloride tracer (ClTR) on five soils (one sandy loam, two loams, and two clay loams) representing four HSG-based risk levels (HSG-A, high risk; HSG-B, medium risk; HSG-C, low risk; HSG-D, very low risk). A square-wave pulse of ClTR was applied to the soil surfaces in fall 2007 as KCl, and movement and loss of ClTR was tracked over 1–1.2 years using monthly soil core samples collected from the top 60–80 cm. For all five soils, 60–96% of ClTR was leached out of the primary crop root zone (below 60 cm depth) during the noncropping period (October 2007 to March 2008 inclusive), and >80% was leached out of the root zone within 1 year. The percentage of ClTR that leached did not correlate with precipitation or HSG designation, but produced significant (P < 0.05) power function regressions with minimum and harmonic mean saturated soil hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) measured in the top 50–60 cm. ClTR leaching rate appeared to be controlled primarily by Ksat in a manner consistent with infiltration and solute transport theory. It was consequently proposed that solute leaching loss versus Ksat relationships may improve N index risk estimates for both southern Ontario and other humid temperate regions.


I know in English you can use the definite article with geographical expressiones such as the sea, the country, the land, the city, the beach, the seaside, but what about other geographical terms? Can I use them as generic terms to mean "the idea of ..."? I don't mean any particular place.
The jellyfish lives in the water.
The grasshopper lives in the meadow.
Is there a cat that lives in the desert?
There is only one type of cat that lives in the desert. The sand cat (Felis margarita) is the only member of the cat family tied directly to sand regions. Found in North Africa, the Arabian peninsula and the deserts of Turkmenistan in Uzbekistan, the sand cat has adapted to extremely arid desert areas.
Plants live in many different environments. Some live in the ocean, some live in the desert. Plants are very important to everyone on the planet.
Hope shows up in several places in this very dark world—such as in the incorruptible goodness of Katniss' sister, Primrose. It shows in Katniss' rare sacrifice for her sister, when she volunteers to take Prim's place in the Games. It lives in the meadow and the woods, where the natural world exists mostly unmolested by the powerful central government.
Wow, I thought this would be easy, but it's actually a little tricky. I think the answer to your question is "It's all over the map."
Consider your first sentence, "The jellyfish lives in the water."
It would sound much better if you said "The jellyfish lives in the sea." (Since there are many different kinds of jellyfish, it might sound even better like this: "Jellyfish live in the sea."
Your next sentence, "The grasshopper lives in the meadow," is more confusing.
Actually, grasshoppers live in a wide variety of habitats. But let's pretend they occur primarily in meadows. You would probably want to say "The grasshopper lives in meadows," or "Grasshoppers live in meadows." You could also say "Grasshoppers inhabit meadows" or "Grasshoppers occur in meadows."
Unfortunately, I haven't given you a really good rule of thumb. Unless someone else can suggest some rules, you'll just have to take it on a case by case basis. In other words, each sentence may be unique.
"Can I use them as generic terms to mean 'the idea of ...'?"
If you really mean to speak conceptually, as in poetry or very abstract terms of science, yes you could say "The jellyfish lives in the water" or "The grasshopper lives in the meadow."
It will read better though to remove one of the articles from the sentence and change the verb to match. So either "Jellyfish live in the water" or "The jellyfish lives in water."
Similarly but a little different one could say "Grasshoppers live in the meadow" or "The grasshopper lives in meadows" or perhaps just "The grasshopper lives in a meadow." Depends on what you are trying to say.

'Moshing will be allowed': Festival Republic confirms 10,000-capacity Download pilot
May 26th 2021 at 10:28AM
Festival Republic has confirmed Download Festival will return next month for a three-day camping pilot event as part of the second phase of the government's Events Research Programme (ERP).
The 10,000-capacity 'Download Pilot' will take place from June 18-20 in Donington Park, with "no social distancing, no masks, camping and the return of moshing". Tickets go on sale on Tuesday, June 1 existing Download 2022 ticket holders, ahead of the general sale on Thursday, June 3.
The festival will look to build on the evidence base gathered from the first phase of the ERP and apply findings on a greater scale with greater crowd numbers than before, playing an important role in paving the way for the return of large-scale music events and festivals as the UK emerges from Covid-19 restrictions. The line-up will be announced this Friday (May 28).
This massive next step will help us understand and study the safe return of large-scale festivals with no social distancing or facemasks over a full weekend
Melvin Benn, Festival Republic
"Following the huge success of our Sefton Park event, we are delighted to contribute to Phase II of the hovernment's Events Research Programme with the creation of the first three-day camping festival which will be the Download Pilot at Donington Park," said Festival Republic MD Melvin Benn. "This massive next step will help us understand and study the safe return of large-scale festivals with no social distancing or facemasks over a full weekend. The return of the full festival experience we have all been waiting for and a much needed return to work for musicians, backstage crew, caterers and many more that form part of the UK's exemplary live music industry."
As a government scientific ERP event, festival-goers will need to consent to take part and must be over 16. There will be no day tickets available ,with all festival-goers expected to camp on-site for the duration of the festival.
Whilst festivalgoers will not be socially distanced or required to wear face coverings once inside the festival, they will be required to follow existing Government guidance when travelling to and from Donington Park and adhere to rules set out by the festival organisers. Attendees must have proof of a negative lateral flow test result to enter the festival.
As part of the wider scientific research on the trial events, the Download Pilot attendees will also be asked to take a PCR test before and after the event to gather further evidence on the safety of the festival camping experience, reduced social distancing and the removal of non-pharmaceutical intervention. They will also have to provide contact details for NHS Test And Trace to ensure everyone can be traced in the event of an audience member receiving a positive test after the event.

Olivia Jade's Beauty Line Trademark Has Been Rejected
The influencer, who is at the center of the college admissions scandal, has had her trademark for a namesake beauty line rejected due to improper punctuation and vagueness.

Olivia Jade's namesake beauty line may never be a reality.
The 20-year-old influencer, who is at the center of the college admissions scandal that made headlines earlier this month, has been rejected for trademarks on "Olivia Jade" and "Olivia Jade Beauty" by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In a letter to Jade, it was reported that the USPTO rejected the trademarks due to vague language and improper punctuation.
"Proper punctuation in identification is necessary to delineate explicitly each product or service within a list and to avoid ambiguity," USPTO officials stated. "Commas, semicolons and apostrophes are the only punctuation that should be used."
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt2Kd0LnPBw/
According to the USPTO, both trademarks were filed on May 3, 2018, well ahead of news of the college admissions scandal. The trademarks were filed for "goods and services" for beauty products, such as "makeup kits comprised of moisturizer, primer, concealer, foundation, makeup powder, makeup pencils and eye makeup" among others. It was determined by the USPTO that these terms were too broad and need clarification.
The attorney of record behind the trademarks is Perry Viscounty, who is also representing Jade's parents in the college admissions scandal.
Jade is the daughter of fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli and "Full House" actress Lori Loughlin, who are being charged for allegedly spending up to $500,000 in bribes to get their two daughters admitted into the University of Southern California as crew recruits. Jade's parents are among at least 50 other adults charged in the scandal, making it the nation's largest college admissions scandal to date.
The rejection of Jade's trademark isn't the first setback she's experienced since the scandal. The influencer, who has 1.4 million Instagram followers and 1.9 million YouTube subscribers — where she makes how-to makeup videos — has lost many of her influencer partnerships with brands like Sephora, who discontinued a highlighter and bronze palette made in collaboration with the influencer, Estée Lauder and TRESemmé, among others.
A post shared by olivia jade (@oliviajade)
Jade has the chance to resubmit her trademark applications for approval, however it is unclear if she will do so given the backlash she has received since news of the scandal broke.

Closing the gate and unlocking the door key for SA hockey men
With 15 goals conceded and nine converted, the SA men's hockey team will be looking to close the gate at one end and find more ways to unlock the door at the other end of the pitch when they take on Pool A winners Argentina in the quarter-finals of the World League tournament in Johor, Malaysia Thursday.
The match will be televised live on SuperSport 5 and HD2 from 8.45 am (SA time).
At the bottom of Pool B after the preliminary round of the event, world number 12 SA will draw some confidence from the fact that they have traditionally had very competitive games against world 10 Argentina.
SA deserved more than the 3-3 draw with world number four England in the opening game but cannot say the same for the 6-2 defeat by world number five Pakistan in the third and final match in Pool B on Tuesday. The 6-4 defeat by world number 13 Malaysia is a match that SA might have a case in saying they should have got more out of the game, but the upshot is that they have a chance to make Saturday's semi-finals if they beat Argentina.
SA head coach Charlie Pereira said the Pakistan defeat was another disappointment.
"We started the game well, stuck to our plans, had three circle entries and a penalty corner early on," said Pereira from the team hotel Wednesday morning.
"But with 11 minutes gone we try and run the ball out of the back, lose possession and even with numbers back we concede a silly goal. That knocks the wind out of our sails and the impact is that we lose the momentum we started the game with.
"Two penalty corners and at half-time Pakistan are 3-1 up. Second half, we pressed really well and created circle entries which we could not convert. We kept Pakistan out of our circle for a continuous period of about 15 minutes until we again tried and run the ball out of defence and conceded another soft goal. Did Pakistan create their goals? No, we were very generous in not making them work harder for their goals."
The SA head coach said Argentina would be another stern challenge, "but having played them in Rio [a 4-2 defeat] we are more familiar with their style and if we can cut out the silly mistakes and play to our plan for longer parts of the game, we are in with a shout."
SA captain Austin Smith reflected on too many unforced errors: "Poor defensive marking, we didn't take our chances, had enough to make a game of it. When we create counter-attacks we are far less effective than the opposition."
The skipper said SA need to stick to the game plan for longer periods.
"Argentina, it's going to be tough to beat this hugely experienced team. Two years ago we beat them for third place at the Champions Challenge so it can be done. We have everything to play for in this game so we are preparing as much as we can to try and get a positive result."
Rassie Pieterse (Southern Gauteng), Gowan Jones (KZN Coastal Raiders); Austin Smith (capt, Western Province), Francois Pretorius (Northern Blues), Rhett Halkett (vice-capt, WP), Lance Louw (SG), Jethro Eustice (SG); Jonty Robinson (NB), Clint Panther (SG), Wade Paton (KCR), Tim Drummond (KCR), Nick Gonsalves (SG), Taine Paton (KCR); Julian Hykes (SG), Craig Haley (WP), Pierre de Voux (WP), Miguel da Graca (SG), Lloyd Norris-Jones (WP).

Win the only option

THE consequence is as clear as daylight -- fail to beat Germany today and Malaysia can just about forget about playing in the World Cup for a third consecutive time.
Although Paul Revington's men will have another chance -- through the Asia Cup -- to qualify, they will have to battle the region's best for the one available slot.
With the likes of India, South Korea and possibly Pakistan all eyeing that one berth, the odds will be stacked against Malaysia.
Some will say Malaysia's chances are even tougher against Olympic champions Germany today but other than the 2-1 defeat to England -- the team's worst match of the tournament -- Revington's players have been in good form in the World League Semi-finals.
With the Germans not firing on all cylinders -- the World No 1 were held 1-1 by Argentina in their opening match and then needed a boost of opening own goals from South Korea and Japan to win 5-0 and 3-1 respectively.
Malaysia -- the England defeat aside -- have been in cavalier form and Germany coach Markus Weise has taken note of this.
"I have seen some great improvement in the Malaysian team under Revington and it will not be an easy match. There are many fast strikers in the Malaysian team, and they are especially dangerous in counter attacks. The penalty corner battery is also solid," said Weise.
And there is also the Taman Daya Stadium factor.
"Malaysia seem to play well in this stadium and this is something else we have to be wary of," said Weise.
On his part, Revington has a plan and it will be modeled after the Azlan Shah Cup final in March.
Then, Malaysia and Australia were tied 2-2 after a solid performance by the national team but a goal by the former Olympic champions four seconds from the final hooter denied them the title.
In the group stage, Malaysia held Australia 1-1.
"We have had a good build-up towards this tournament, especially the Azlan Shah Cup where we drew 1-1 and then only lost by one goal to Australia.
"I have a fighting side, and I believe they will not disappoint me," said Revington.
Malaysia scored 11 goals in their three matches, but the minus point is that they have been guilty of giving away too many penalty corners which led to 10 goals being conceded.
They can't afford to be so generous today, not if they want one of the three World Cup berths that are at stake and if they fail, the players must surely know that the sport faces a bleak future.
It ain't over yet, boys

Foiled: Malaysia's Faizal Saari gets the ball past England's Richard Smith during their World Hockey League match in Johor Baru on Tuesday. — ABDUL RAHMAN EMBONG / The Star
JOHOR BARU: They were the team everyone wanted to avoid. But, as luck would have it, Malaysia are the ones set to face Olympic champions and world No. 1 Germany in today's quarter-finals.
Malaysia can only blame themselves for their predicament. They could have avoided the Germans.
Malaysia, after two good matches, failed to shine in the third game and paid the price by finishing third in Group B after losing 2-1 to England.
Tonight's match is all the more important as a win will see Malaysia keeping their World Cup dreams alive.
Only the top three teams from this tournament will qualify automatically for the 2014 World Cup in The Hague, Holland.
National coach Paul Revington has adopted a positive attitude, saying they will take on the champions without any fear.
"There's no doubt that Germany are a good team and any one of the four teams from our group could have faced them," said Revington.
"But now that we know who our opponents are, we'll just have to come up with a strategy to deal with them. We can play good hockey as seen in this tournament. There is no use dwelling on what could have happened in the third game now."
The Germans too are not taking Malaysia for granted.
Their coach, Markus Weise, said that Malaysia have a few things going for them.
"They have good penalty corner batteries. They are playing at home. They have fan support. And, they are also very familiar with the conditions here," he said.
"So I do not think for one moment that this is going to be an easy game."
The Germans may have failed to impress in their three group matches but they do have players with tactical awareness to win the quarter-final tie.
Well, they do have the credentials. Remember 2008? That year, they lost out in the European championships and had to go to the qualifiers in Kakamigahara in Japan to earn the right to feature in the Beijing Olympics. Malaysia were there too.
The Germans won the qualifiers and, five months, later took the gold medal in Beijing.
That's how resilient they are. You can never count the Germans out.
But Revington has done well with the team, who are now playing with far greater confidence and maturity.
The Malaysians are not afraid to take the fight to their opponents and are scoring freely.
In Mohd Razie Rahim and Faizal Saari, the Malaysians have two in-form penalty corner scorers. Tengku Ahmad Tajuddin is also getting into the goal-scoring act but, more importantly, Malaysia now have numbers going forward.
Malaysia'a Achilles' heel is the backline.
Razie Azlan Misron, Faiz Hemi Jali and Mohd Shukri Mutalib are good but still raw. Baljit Singh, when he comes on, has also slowed down.
The defence has to be spot-on or the Germans will punish them.
The Olympic champions are very clinical in their moves and very quick in getting the ball into their opponents' half.
The Malaysian team will also have to make sure they defend in numbers.
Goalkeeper S. Kumar also needs to be sharper as his performance has been a little erratic of late.
The Malaysian have nothing to lose. Attack is their only option.
So, Revington must send his men into battle by telling them to go on a flat-out attack.
It's tough, but it's winnable.

Pakistan to show no mercy as they seek early World Cup spot
JOHOR BARU: Pakistan and South Korea are two of the strongest Asian teams capable of challenging the top sides in the world.
But today, only one of them will go forward in their bid to qualify for the 2014 World Cup. The other will have to wait for the Asia Cup to seek an automatic berth.
World No. 5 Pakistan have warned world No. 8 South Korea not to expect mercy when they clash in today's quarter-final.
Pakistan coach Akhtar Rasool is banking on his forwards to see them get past the Koreans.
"I place a great deal on my forward line. When they hit form, we are good overall," he said.
"That's what happened in the match against Malaysia in the second-half and against South Africa."
Pakistan came back from three goals down to draw 4-4 against Malaysia and beat South Africa 6-2.
Abdul Haseem Khan is Pakistan's top scorer with five field goals from three matches. The other forwards are Mohamed Waqas, Shafqat Rasool, Mohamed Zubair and Mohamed Rizhwan.
Pakistan also have a good penalty corner flicker in Mohamed Imran.
"Yes, we have an all-round team ... one that's young. Imran has scored only twice so far but he is good enough for a few more. I'm confident that this team will improve," said Akhtar.
"If the forwards continue to dominate matches, then we will win."
South Korean coach Shin Seok-kyu admitted that Pakistan have moulded a good side comprising a young set of players.
But that doesn't mean he's going to throw in the towel.
"Yes, they have good players and are building for the future. They are slowly gaining in confidence and playing as a unit," he said.
"But I know we can beat them. I believe that we have an edge against them and we will prove it. I know how to beat them."
Andrea Thumshirn is an Indian asset, let us protect her
K. Arumugam
She is a German born travel related business women, but got obsessed with India, and chose to settle in a place that most Indians would find it difficult to locate – on the highway between two famous tourists spots of India, Jaipur in Rajasthan and Agra in Uttar Pradesh – to realize her life's dream, dream of doing something different and that which will make others smile, especially the most neglected of Indians living in remote and neglected part of our motherland.
Her language is hockey through which she connected to the village she chose to settle, introduced about one hundred boys and girls of that village the sport, and then took interest in their social upliftment and for that started constructing a school with the help of volunteers, which includes some of them from her motherland.
Developing hockey in India is difficult task, or for that matter doing something for the society too. As most people content with their own career -- or spoiling others – there is a strong tendency not to contribute to the society at large. A social worker, as I do through my One Thousand Hockey Legs, am quite aware and has on hand experience, is always doubted for intentions and everyone feels and doubts there is something beyond 'that fellow's social work', ' 'We don't know his motives' such things.
Andrea must have faced all such things, and passed out quite admirably with her focus on the job. She trained her wards, gave them exposure in terms of competitions, kept all her activities open through social media and other tools; one can, if interested, trace her activities hourly basis!
In a short span of time, she is a known face in the fast diminishing Indian hockey community; for instance, was invited by the owners of Ranchi Rhinos to Ranchi to witness the final of the Hockey India League, and then as recently as last month, she was there in Pune for the National Championship final.
Her team was given direct entry for the prestigious Nehru Cup (Under-15) competition last year, and the Delhi based Hockey Citizen Group and her team signed an Memorandum last year to have an annual Dhamal series. Media too took her seriously, and have been write ups on her periodically.
Meanwhile, ever-trying Andrea thought of laying a synthetic turf in Garh Himmat Singh, and did indeed bring a second hand one, an activity that would have consumed 2-3 years for any Indian government agencies!
Then came the shocker.
Some mischief mongers, with the help of equally mischief mongering media, coloured her work with unimaginable and non-existing motives, and saw that the day the truck carrying turf from Mumbai turned out not a day of joy but something different.
According to her posting in her official facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bua-Sa-Hockey-Village-Indien/103517143021160?fref=ts), this is what had occurred:
"The night after the first truck load of astro turf reached, the ground was blocked with huge stones. I got a call in the morning from my girls, they said Andrea Police is on the ground, there is a problem, please you come... The Sarpanch and the police and around 200 citizens of Mandawar were there…. After the first shock, we decided to unload the second truck in our village and in the next night we got the rest of the astro turf our of Mandawar to our village. All that is written in the objection is pure nonsense, would the people have done their homework, they would know that this ground belongs to the government, will be guilt by the government and got sanctioned by the District Collector…. They do not even know that Hockey is the national sports!!!
So, as religion, politics, nationality, motive, and every sensitive things that go with a respect loving, social minded person like Andrea, is questioned though by a fraction of society -- but all mischievous and trigger-happy ones -- Andrea is certainly going through a difficult phase in her chosen volunteer life.
She is determined to go ahead, and its now duty of Indian civil society to ensure her work goes on undisturbed, and prove India offers level playing field to everyone.
What Andrea should now keep vigil is not the enemies who came out openly on the ground, they are at least open enough to express themselves, but the white colour ones who express sympathy and help but would never reflect those in action, about whom she must be familiar with by now.
Meanwhile, it is apt to say that the likes of Andreas and Andreu Enriches -- the young Spaniard runs a hockey institution in Anantpur in Andhra Pradeh-- are Indian assets, whose hearts brim with humanity for others whom they hardly know, whose lives they want to transform from ignorance and disinterested to enlightened and motivated, and for that they volunteer to spend their valuable youth, and thus face difficulties as Andrea is right now.
In a country where social service is a taboo, a social worker is an object of ridicule, and the public at large conveniently believes 'a poor is poor because God destined him to be so', those who wishes to change the fortunes of kids though sports and education – which incidentally are ideological moorings of Andrea and Andreu – are real assets of India. Its time India should stand behind its asset called Andrea.

Bright Future for Field Hockey in Ontario With 3 New Pitches
Next two top PAHF tournaments will take place in Brampton and Toronto
by Micah Teixeira
With the 2013 Men's Pan American Cup looming ahead at the recently completed turf in Brampton, field hockey is certainly on the rise in Ontario. Yet it's easy to overlook the huge struggle it has been over the past decade to keep the sport we love alive and kicking.
Growing up playing field hockey in Ontario, things seemed quite grand. There were multiple tournaments to be played, many practices of all levels to attend, and national team players who were locals to look up too. But that was back in the grass days, and as multiple turf pitches sprung up on the West Coast of Canada, the Toronto area struggled to even maintain the few there were.
Ontario fell years behind the thriving field hockey population of Vancouver and the rest of British Columbia. Without proper facilities, interest waned, tournaments faded to memory, and the number of locals representing our country dwindled. A proper water-based artificial turf field was needed and it was known. But it never came…
There were the devoted few who stuck it out, just a few small groups here and there who were determined to keep playing. And an even smaller number still who were unwavering in their resolve to bring field hockey back to how it once was in Ontario. It wasn't an easy fight, or a fair one at that. The huge amount of money needed to construct just a single turf wasn't available like it was in British Columbia, which had a number of turfs in just a matter of years. It would be years and multiple failed efforts before, finally, there was a glimmer of hope.
More than a decade later, a small group of advocates convinced the City of Brampton to consider an international grade water-based turf at the Cassie Campbell Community Centre. These advocates rallied the entire community from the local clubs to Field Hockey Canada to support the final push for a turf. It worked! With the backing of the City of Brampton, the water-based turf was approved, and there were smiles abound. It was a long hard struggle, but like all good things, it was worth it!
Trials and tribulations though, like to come in droves. And how they've come… The two turfs scheduled for construction in the heart of Toronto to be the field hockey site of the 2015 Pan American Games have not been without their own drama. A push was made to classify the currently rarely used site of the upcoming turfs as a heritage site so that they could not be constructed. A petition was circulated to support their claim, and it was taken to the city council… They however underestimated the passion of the field hockey community in Ontario, and the backlash was swift! In just a couple of days, a petition supporting the construction of the turfs garnered nearly half the number of votes than the petition against it in more than 6 months. Support again poured in from all quarters, and the turf construction was comfortably voted in.
It seems almost a dream to think there will soon be 3 international sanctioned water-based pitches in use in Ontario. The two biggest tournaments in the Pan American region will be taking place in Brampton and Toronto, and they will only serve to increase the exposure of the already growing popularity of field hockey in Ontario.
It has been only a few months that the turf has been in use in Brampton, yet things seem to be better already. The tournaments that were a staple of Ontario summer weekends are back, the practices in multitude, and locals seemingly on their way to representing our proud country once again. And with the breaking ground of the new turfs to be constructed at the University of Toronto only weeks away, new peaks are just a matter of time.
To move forward however, we must not forget the past. And the people who fought through all those years when things were at their worst. When their smiling faces are amongst the many cheering for our country at the fast approaching Pan American Cup, it'll all have been worth it.

Regional NRL matches in 2018 draw
NRL Media Release
Mon 16 Oct 2017, 02:07 PM
The NRL will schedule matches across seven different regional locations in New South Wales and Queensland as part of the 2018 NRL Telstra Premiership season.
Premiership matches will be held in Mudgee, Tamworth, Bathurst and Gosford next year, as well as Gladstone, Toowoomba and Cairns.
It means the 2018 season will include the most number of regional locations in New South Wales and Queensland in the history of the NRL Premiership.
Gold Coast Titans will take two matches to regional centres (Gladstone and Toowoomba), while South Sydney Rabbitohs will continue to play one of its matches in Cairns.
St George Illawarra Dragons will host a match in Mudgee – which will also be the venue for the annual pre-season Charity Shield match against the Rabbitohs.
Wests Tigers will host a match in Tamworth, Penrith Panthers will play in Bathurst, while both Sydney Roosters and South Sydney will take matches to Gosford.
NRL CEO Todd Greenberg said the NRL had worked with the Clubs and Country Rugby League in order to maximise the number of matches in regional areas in 2018.
"We have said for some time it was our strong desire to take more games to regional venues in 2018, and we're extremely happy to have been able to do that as part of the new schedule," Mr Greenberg said.
"I want to thank the Clubs involved for working with us on delivering this positive result for the game in regional areas, but also the local councils, community groups and our government partners for being so enthusiastic about hosting Rugby League matches.
"It will be great to see so many people in regional areas being able to witness the best of Rugby League up close in 2018."
Country Rugby League CEO, Terry Quinn, said the additional matches were a victory for country Rugby League fans.
"We always said that, if the Country v City match was to be discontinued, we needed to see more NRL games in regional areas," he said.
"We have secured those extra matches and it means fans will be able to see NRL games in more regional areas than ever before."
Details of each of the fixtures will be released when the full 2018 NRL Telstra Premiership schedule is announced.
