Centennial Conference cancels fall, winter sports championships amid health concerns
Rising number of COVID-19 cases in U.S., campus restrictions, inability to meet NCAA testing guidelines among factors cited in decision to cancel conference competition
/ Published Dec 10, 2020
With the health and safety of its student-athletes, campus communities, and the general public taking precedence amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the NCAA Division III Centennial Conference—in which 17 of Johns Hopkins University's 24 varsity athletics teams compete—announced today that it was cancelling conference competition and championships for all fall and winter sports during the 2020-21 academic year.
Sports affected by the decision include men's and women's cross country, field hockey, football, men's and women's soccer, volleyball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's swimming, men's and women's indoor track and field, and wrestling.
The decision was made following several months of discussions among all levels of the conference governance structure. Strategies for how to safely and effectively conduct conference competitions for fall and winter sports during the spring semester were developed and evaluated, but ultimately the conference cited several factors that played a role in the decision, including the rising number of COVID-19 cases across the country; the shift of spring academic calendars to a later start; campus policies regarding travel, group size, and visitors; and the ability to meet recommended NCAA testing guidelines.
The Centennial Conference said it will evaluate the possibility of spring sports competition in January.

Bigger insets, just to be sure the problem isn't elsewhere.
Bigger textContainerInsets weren't an option, because they would've broken the design.
Find the knob view and bring it to front.
This last point was where it got interesting. I used Reveal to find the knobs and tried to bring the to front, move them to the UIWindow, change their bounds, anything I could think of — nothing worked and the knobs, even if they were visible and on top of everything else, they weren't intercepting touches around them. The Notes of a contact in Phone.app has the same problem: knobs are completely cut off until there is more text and the selection isn't at the very edges.
Bonus points for extra weirdness: the knobs are contained in their parent, both in UITextView and UITextField, but when inspecting with Reveal, both of them appear as cut off, while on the app itself … UITextView knobs are also cut off, but UITextField knobs are fully visible and working ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Eventually we had to settle with a compromise: bigger textContainerInsets while editing, adjusted ones when not.
I'm almost sure I might be missing something here, so if you've encountered this problem before, I'd love to hear your story or any other suggestions @rolandleth.


Kiai/Kihap/Chi Shout – Is It Really Necessary?
Many martial arts, especially the Oriental ones include the practice of shouting at certain points in training. Japanese styles call it Kiai, Korean styles call it Kihap. I don't know what the Chinese word for it is, but I have trained with some who simply called it Chi Shout. For simplicity, I'm just going to stick the Japanese notation of Kiai (as I'm primarily a Japanese stylist and it's the version I'm most familiar with)!

BIG HERO 6 CAST Q&A
With a slew of successful superhero movies under their belt, Disney and Marvel don't scrimp on the action-packed storyline for their newest superhero endeavor, Big Hero 6.
Based on the Japanese comic of the same name, that's where many of the similarities end – so we learned at the Big Hero 6 Press Junket. As a Disney and Marvel fanatic, as well as after seeing the film's sneak preview at Disneyland, I jumped at the chance to check out the film as well as had a chat with the cast and crew for Press Pass LA.
Set in the fictional town of San Fransokyo – a perfect mingling of East meets West – the story revolves around 14-year-old Hiro Hamada (voiced by Ryan Potter), a teenage genius with a passion and talent for making toy robots. After getting into some trouble with what seems to be a hobby to him, Hiro's older brother Tadashi (voiced by Daniel Henney) introduces Hiro to his friends in the "nerd" lab at the specialized university he attends in order to positively influence his little brother to see his true potential.
In short, that he does and Hiro ends up embarking on a journey that he would never have guessed he'd take, along with a crew of nerd superheroes, including Go Go Tamago (voiced by Jamie Chung), Honey Lemon (voiced by Genesis Rodriguez), Fred (voiced by T.J. Miller), Wasabi (voiced by Damon Wayans, Jr.), and the ever-lovable Baymax (voiced by Scott Adsit).
Press Pass LA sat down with the cast and crew of Big Hero 6 at the legendary Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, where we learned from Disney's latest superhero cast some very interesting behind-the-scenes details from the movie. One thing that was very apparent off-hand was the impeccable casting of the film. All of the cast members were sheer perfection for their roles and it was pretty uncanny at how true-to-life they seemed to their characters (minus the whole superpower thing, of course).
Despite meeting only a couple of weeks prior, you wouldn't have guessed it, with the tight bond that Genesis Rodriguez and Jamie Chung formed over a year after working on the movie. Another thing you wouldn't have guessed: much like her character, Genesis actually built robots at a young age.
One of the main things that the cast agrees on is that while it's a superhero movie, it has a lot of heart and isn't typical of superhero movies in that their characters are just normal kids.
"I love the idea that these characters are normal human beings and what makes them superheroes is their minds," Damon Wayans, Jr. said. "It was just these guys and their will, and their ingenuity combined with their costumes."
"I hope with this movie, they are going to inspire kids that want to become scientists again… that we can inspire kids to be real superheroes with their brains – that they can achieve incredible things just by education and just doing really well in school," Genesis Rodriguez quipped, adding, "Hopefully we can get some really good scientists after this movie."
Disney's newest adventure Big Hero 6 hits theaters November 7 and you'll definitely want a seat on the ride of your life. A word of caution: you might want to take a tissue or two. Don't let the superhero front fool you – this is classic Disney fare.

Home / SEO Content / Mueller Explains The Relevance Of Comprehensive Content
Mueller Explains The Relevance Of Comprehensive Content
8 November 2021/ Jason Ferry / SEO Content
SEO content checks are done to ensure the clarity and relevance of articles and blog posts. In an Office-hours hangout, one SEO asked Google's John Mueller if writing quality SEO content would help them build trust with Google. Mueller advised the SEO to stop stressing about gaining Google's trust and instead advised on how to develop excellent content.
Google And Trust
There is a notion that if Google does not rank a site, it's because it doesn't trust it. That isn't an unreasonable fear to have.
However, Google's algorithms aren't structured around trust metrics, to say the least. Some link-related algorithms evaluate whether a site is normal or not. A not-normal site is one that attempts to tamper with search rankings, using methods like paid guest posts and links.
Outside Google's point of view, poor performance may be interpreted as evidence that Google doesn't trust the site, and this might lead people to believe it isn't ranking because it is not trustworthy. It's not about trust, though, but because the site is a not-normal due to links or certain types of content.
It appears that Google does not trust it, but it's a completely different issue. And it's best that the SEO community understands and knows about these advanced theories; if so, they won't have to worry about performing tasks to "earn trust" that have nothing to do with why their web page isn't ranking in the first place.
Trust Rank Patent
There's a Trust Rank in a patent that was filed in 2006. It focuses on user intent and personalisation. One should begin with the first section of the patent and read it repeatedly until they understand what it's about. Most individuals who make mistakes with patents skip over the beginning portion and go straight to the middle section. However, without understanding the context of the patent's first part, it results in mistaken ideas about what the patent is all about.
The goal of the Trust Rank patent is to identify user intent through signals, such as whether a person has been to a website before.
The patent's second paragraph indicated its true meaning. It claimed that a basic problem with search engines' design is that the relevance of search results to a specific user is dependent on factors that are extremely reliant on the user's search intent, which is what made them conduct the search in the first place. These factors also depend on the user's circumstances and their need for information.
Therefore, if two separate users type in the same question, a given set of search results might be relevant to one and irrelevant to another due to different intent and information needs.
Most efforts to solve the issue of inferring a user's intent usually relies on weak factors, such as predefined methods of query reformulation or static user preferences. These factors are only educated guesses about the user's interests based on the query terms.
Such approaches can never comprehend the user intent because it is highly dependent on many situational facts that can't be extrapolated from the usual query terms.
Based on the patent's explanation, it is not about trust. Instead, it is about user intent.
Googlers have announced multiple times that Google does not employ a trust signal. In 2011, Google engineer Matt Cutts debunked the myth of a trust signal in an online video. Despite Google's assertions that it does not use a trust indicator, many online businesses and site owners still believe otherwise.
Mueller On Comprehensive Articles And Building Trust With Google
The person posing the question wants to know whether or not writing comprehensive content improves Google's trust.
Mueller explained how comprehensive content might be beneficial in certain circumstances and detrimental in others. But before that, he stated once again that Google does not use a trust metric. Afterwards, he set aside the topic of trust and advised the SEO how they should write better content to rank higher in the search results.
Mueller said that site owners and publishers should focus more on the user side, asking themselves if their content builds trust with their users and if the readers appreciate the article.
If the article is meaningful, useful, and comprehensive, then the readers would probably appreciate it. The most crucial aspect is to figure out who their intended users are and conduct SEO content checks to ensure that the written piece is relevant to them, especially in the language aspect.
Suppose a site owner writes a highly detailed technical article about a certain topic. If their users want something more general or less detailed that explains the subject a bit better, then that highly specialised technical article may be a poor fit. However, if their users are mostly technical experts who want to discover all of the high-tech information, then perhaps it's the right match.
Understand The User First
Mueller advised the SEO to first understand the user. For instance, just because a website ranks for rental cars doesn't necessarily mean that the publisher should blindly write long comprehensive articles on rental cars because users are probably not looking for this type of information. Therefore, site owners should figure out who their users are before working on their content.
Some SEOs may notice that their top-performing competitors publish content that's rather simple. They see this as a chance to produce more advanced articles, believing it will help them win against entry-level content. However, a lot of times, that entry-level content is what readers want, and that is why Google has placed it there on the top of their search results page.

How to know you're dehydrated (Signs of early, moderate, and severe dehydration)
From the desk of Robb Wolf
If you follow my work, you know I don't spend much time worrying about dehydration. I worry more about dangerously low sodium levels that result from over-hydration.
Unfortunately, low serum sodium (hyponatremia) is often misdiagnosed as dehydration. The symptoms are similar. But when you treat hyponatremia as dehydration—when you drink water well beyond thirst—you only make it worse.
But even if dehydration is less dangerous than hyponatremia, it doesn't mean we shouldn't address it. If you continually lose more water than you take in, it will lead to a suboptimal state.
I wrote this article to be a nuanced guide to determining your hydration status. I'll show you the signs of dehydration, but you have to take them with a pinch of salt since the symptoms can mimic the symptoms of low sodium.
I mean that literally. Take your water with a pinch of salt. Or a stick of LMNT. That's how you prevent both low water and low sodium. Now let's talk about the low water part.
What Is Dehydration?
Dehydration is defined as losing more fluids than you're taking in. It's net water loss from the body.
You lose water through the lungs, skin, kidneys (urine), and GI tract. If these losses exceed the quantity of fluids you're consuming, you're said to be dehydrated.
The result of dehydration is a low-water state called hypohydration. Hypohydration is considered "severe" when total water losses exceed 5% of body weight, though mild hypohydration can be a 1% water loss or less. Hypohydration and dehydration are often used interchangeably, so I'll be following that convention here.
Healthy adults rarely become dehydrated. When someone has access to water, they drink adequate fluids. Often, they drink too much. More on that later.
There is no established test for dehydration. Clinicians often measure serum osmolality (the concentration of electrolytes in the blood), but this isn't practical for most people. Another potential sign of dehydration is weight loss exceeding 3% over seven days, but weight loss alone doesn't indicate hydration problems.
Older adults are 20-30% more likely than the general population to develop dehydration. Why? Probably because older adults are more likely to suffer from an impaired thirst mechanism, diabetes, or renal disease. They also may have mobility issues that make water access a challenge.
Other potential causes of dehydration include:
Heavy sweating due to heat, exercise, or skin disease.
Excess water loss via urine due to kidney disease, diuretic drugs, Addison's disease, high blood sugar (hyperglycemia), and several other conditions.
Losing water through the GI tract: diarrhea, vomiting, laxatives.
Excess respiratory losses due to asthma or COPD.
This is just a partial list. The human body is about 60% water, and this water can escape through every orifice. Normally, however, our fluid balancing system works impressively well.
Fluid Balance 101
Thirst is a simple urge that results from a complex system. All the time, specialized molecules called osmoreceptors are measuring the hydration status of your blood. If your blood volume drops too low—a condition called hypovolemia—these receptors trigger thirst in a brain region called the hypothalamus. Then you drink something and the balance is restored.
But thirst is just one way the brain regulates fluid balance. It also controls fluids by controlling your kidneys.
When the hypothalamus senses blood volume dipping, it pings the pituitary, a pea-sized gland at the base of your brain. The pituitary is told, in no uncertain terms, to release antidiuretic hormone (ADH) into circulation.
ADH is the opposite of a diuretic. It tells your kidneys to retain more fluids. ADH is why you pee less when you're dehydrated.
Beyond thirst and ADH, there are other fluid balancing forces at play. For instance, drops in blood pressure (which may accompany dehydration) activate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system—a trio of hormones that, put simply, increase water and sodium absorption through the kidneys.
So yes, your body is adept at preventing dehydration. But it's wise to know the signs and symptoms so you can see it coming and take corrective action if needed.
Signs of Mild, Moderate, or Severe Dehydration
Dehydration is typically diagnosed through signs and symptoms. Many of these symptoms mimic the symptoms of other conditions (like hyponatremia), so it's important to be cautious with aggressive fluid replacement.
Thirst or dry mouth is an early sign of mild or moderate dehydration. It's your brain telling you the volume of fluids in your blood has dipped too low.
Drinking to thirst is an effective way to prevent dehydration. Drinking beyond thirst, however, can lead to electrolyte imbalances.
Urine color and output
The shade of your urine is a useful indicator of hydration status. The darker your urine, the more dehydrated you probably are. Conversely, clear urine may mean you're over-hydrated.
Also, urinary volume decreases when you're dehydrated. You can thank ADH for helping you retain these fluids.
Dry skin and lips
Water keeps skin moist, so dry skin or cracked lips can indicate mild, moderate, or severe dehydration. But since dry skin has dozens of potential causes—zinc deficiency, vitamin A deficiency, a cold or dry climate, or reactions to chemicals like chlorine—don't assess hydration status by skin moisture alone.
Some research suggests dehydration causes exercise-related and everyday fatigue. But the evidence goes both ways. For instance, a 2019 systematic review found athletes drinking to thirst lost significant body water but performed comparably to athletes replacing fluids more aggressively.
Even mild dehydration can cause headaches. Headache is also a hallmark of hyponatremia, so it's crucial to replace sodium along with fluids. Otherwise, sodium-free water will make the headache worse and may lead to further complications.
Both dehydration and hyponatremia can cause muscle cramps. Many athletes confuse one for the other, and then wonder why they keep getting charley horses. Too much water!
Constipation is clinically defined as having two or fewer bowel movements per week. It's associated with hardened feces and decreased quality of life.
Being dehydrated means less water is available to loosen stools. This shouldn't be an issue if you're drinking to thirst, but in certain cases—high altitude, diuretic drugs, etc—you may need to replace fluids and electrolytes more proactively.
Water comprises most of your blood volume. When you lose too much water, your blood volume decreases, which in turn decreases blood pressure. Mild dehydration probably won't cause a drop in blood pressure, but severe dehydration might.
Nausea, dizziness, and fainting
Closely linked to blood pressure drops are nausea, dizziness, and fainting. In a severely dehydrated state, less blood reaches the brain. This often presents as lightheadedness when transitioning from sitting to standing.
To compensate for lower blood volume, the heart may begin beating rapidly. It must work harder than usual to get blood to the tissues. Rapid heartbeat (tachycardia) is a sign of severe dehydration.
Mood and cognition
In a study from the British Journal of Nutrition, dehydrated men were more tense, anxious, and tired during physical and cognitive tests. They also showed mild memory impairments during the cognitive tests.
Another study found that mild hypohydration (about 1% net water loss) resulted in more errors during a monotonous driving simulation. The magnitude of these errors was reportedly similar to a mildly intoxicated driver with a 0.08% BAC.
Why Drinking Too Much Water Is Dangerous
For healthy people, preventing dehydration is simple. Just drink to thirst.
But that's not the message we're raised with. We're told to drink 8 glasses of water per day, thirst be damned.
There was never any science behind this canard, but it stuck anyway. As a result, people believe that drinking more water is always a healthy choice.
But drinking too much water can lead to a dangerous electrolyte disturbance called hyponatremia. Many athletes have perished from hyponatremia. How many sports-related dehydration deaths have been reported? None.
It's tricky, because the symptoms of hyponatremia mimic the symptoms of dehydration. Because of this, you see a lot of tragic misdiagnoses.
What To Do If You Think You're Dehydrated
If you treat dehydration by swilling sodium-free water, you're asking for trouble. You're asking for hyponatremia. That's why I recommend a strategy that addresses both dehydration and hyponatremia concerns.
The strategy is simple: Drink electrolyte water to thirst.
Certain scenarios—excessive sweating, cold climates, or elevation—may require more diligent fluid replacement, but as a rule, drinking electrolyte water to thirst will solve 95% of hydration problems.
If you think you're dehydrated, put electrolytes in your water and sip the mixture until thirst subsides. And if you want to sip beyond thirst, that's okay too, since you're including sodium.
Follow this basic guideline and you generally won't have to worry about dehydration. It's nice to have one less thing to worry about, isn't it?

11 May, What is Theology Saying? VI: What is Revelation?
Have we missed the point? The Church's teaching can change about some matters but not about the truths God has revealed. These are eternal and remain forever. It may not be immediately evident how much our thinking depends on how we understand Revelation. In the past theologians discussed which particular truths God has revealed, and whether we knew Revelation through Scripture alone or also through the living tradition of the Church. Today's preoccupation has more to do with what is Revelation?
It is himself that God reveals, showing himself more clearly than he was known before, showing something about himself that was hidden or not noticed before. He shows himself as Saviour, merciful and gracious, making life worthwhile and giving meaning to our existence. Does God do this by speaking words, or by events? If it is words – how does he speak, what language and to whom does he speak? If God uses events and not speech what is the difference between reason and revelation? How important are the words we have in our Creeds?
The Church turned specifically to these questions in Vatican II's Dogmatic Constitution on Revelation. Dei Verbum This document takes us to the Bible to understand Revelation, and refers to the Bible as modern Scripture scholarship has learned to interpret it. It does not claim that all of the Bible is Revelation nor that all Revelation is in the Bible. It claims that the Bible offers us the classic instance from which we can understand how and what God reveals.
The Bible as a rule records events that happened in the history of God's special people – such as the Exodus; the achievement of a common identity in the journeying in the desert. Sometimes it records the same events in different ways. The purpose of the telling is not to give an accurate chronicle of all events, but to give an interpretation of how clearly God's mercy and faithfulness and love for his people was clearly manifest.
In the crossing of the Sea of Reeds – Exodus 14 – for example, it is never clear whether the people were able to get through because an easterly wind cleared the waterbed, or whether the waters parted instantaneously when Moses raised his staff, or whether they saw an intervention of an angel. The narrator seems completely unconcerned about giving a factual account, perhaps because what was important to him was that through their escape from slavery the people realised God's care for them.
August 16: Famous first words.
Let's stay in Egypt for today: that's the one link with yesterday's post, though we are some way west of the Great River, in the desert, in 1942.
As a Church we should learn from whoever can teach us. We could certainly benefit from a few lessons in leadership, so how about this as a new boss's address to his staff, who were feeling the emotions on the signpost above?
You do not know me. I do not know you. But we have got to work together; therefore we must understand each other and we must have confidence in each other. I have only been here a few hours. But from what I have seen and heard since I arrived, I am prepared to say, here and now, that I have confidence in you. We will then work together as a team, and together we will gain the confidence of this great army and go forward to final victory in Africa.
That was General Bernard Montgomery assuming command of the British and Empire 8th Army in Egypt. Things had been going badly for a while before that.
Monty believed that his 'civilians in uniform' should have sight of the big picture and they responded to that. Peter Caddick-Adams1 points out that logistics and intelligence also played their part in the victorious campaign. The role of Military Intelligence could not be revealed until recently when secret papers were opened up to scholars and journalists, but Monty's confidence in his troops built their confidence in him and in each other. That is leadership. That inspires.

15 March, Human Will X: No permanent city here.
The future Archbishop Arthur Hughes is front centre above with fellow Missionaries of Africa in 1934 just before he left Europe for Uganda, where he would later be posted to Gulu. Here are some thoughts of his on carrying out God's will and the joys and hardships he experienced in the process. He is writing to his parents. Missionaries of Africa are commonly called White Fathers because of their habit.
I stayed in Gulu until on the 27th March 1942 I got a telegram from the Mombasa [Apostolic] Delegation asking me to go to Abyssinia.
Like a true White Father I obeyed instantly and the very next morning at nine was crossing the Atura ferry on my way back to Rubaga en route for the coast and Abyssinia. I will not hide from you that I found it a wrench leaving Gulu and the journey was rather sad in a way: but missionaries have no permanent city here and sadness is not part of our life and certainly not part of mine. The will of God must rule our life and in carrying out that will we find our greatest joy.
I left Rubaga the following Wednesday and went to Mombasa to await a boat for Berbera. I arrived in Berbera on the 6th May and went up by military convoy through Somaliland to Ethiopia. The journey through Somaliland has no attractions: poor old Somaliland being for the most part a most appalling desert with an amazing number of camels (more than I ever saw in North Africa). We stayed for a few days at Lafaruk: an appalling camp in the desert while our convoy was in formation. Once you rise up towards Jijiga the country becomes green and then becomes cold – too cold for my liking. The famous Mahda Pass is stupendously beautiful and then the first view of the town of Harar is really rather lovely. It's a very old town; really a sort of Turkish town amongst the hills.
From Harar to Diredawa you have thirty miles of sheer beauty amongst the mountains – a most wonderful road winds round the hills and above you on the heights you can still see the remains of the ancient camel tracks over which tradition has it that the Queen of Sheba travelled when she went from Ethiopia to the Holy Land in the days of King Solomon… At Diredawa I left the military convoy and the good Officers with whom I had made friends on the way and took the Littorina electric train to Addis.
From the 12th May to the 12th August I stayed in Addis with of course occasional trips to other places rendered necessary by my work.
… I must confess that I did not like the Ethiopian climate. I found it too high for me (it is nine thousand feet up in most places) and I was there in the rainy season and found it most unpleasant after sunny Uganda. It simply rains unceasingly for three or four months and is most unpleasant and always cold. I found this very painful indeed. Also I was there only on a temporary mission and there was not as much to do as I should have liked. It was therefore a very great delight to me when on the 29th July I got a letter from Archbishop Dellepiane in the Congo writing to inform me that the Holy Father had decided to confide in me the control of the Apostolic Delegation of Egypt and Palestine.
 The British had a POW Camp for 35,000 Italian soldiers; its desolation can be imagined from the background to the Lafaruk Madonna by Giuseppe Baldan. Did Fr Hughes celebrate Mass before this triptych? No doubt the convoy was a precaution against guerrillas. http://scottishchristian.com/the-maize-sack-masterpiece-that-symbolises-hope-in-africa-over-60-years-on/ . Accessed 4/11/2016.
 Harar had been a Moslem city-state.
Follow the link to Fr Christopher Shorrock's wake-up call as we start Lent.
Only two of the gospels encourage us to see our prospect of celebrating new life as something which began when Mary's child was a presence in Israel. The gospels begin with the death and resurrection of the Saviour. However, this is a saviour who has been incarnated before he was excarnated. The vulnerability of fleshed existence was for him a struggle to celebrate, because of the layers of heart and mind consciousness, which every child finds difficult to coordinate. None of us is sure what kind of new life God wants us to celebrate, when we acknowledge there are genuine gifts of forgiveness and healing, for instance. We feel our way, half-blind, to a greater awareness of how God acts through us. We seek to be less blind.
We are to be grateful that Jesus' temptations, re-dramatising the Hebrew Exodus in him, were his solidarity with our half-blind condition. So was his journey with his parents through the desert to find refuge in Egypt. He beckoned to the first followers to challenge their often childish fears by feeling closer to his mission, and the courage it required. When a child beckons to us, asking us to give our full loving attention to them, we must smile with delight at such trust. Our smile of delight at oneness with the wholeness of love in Christ is the gift we need, both for our own healing, and for becoming sources of healing for others. We must delight at the potential which God has made present in each new stranger entering our lives. If we love their potential, we also love the healing which makes it real.

The newest promo trailer for Fallout 76 has dropped, and it's all about making friends out in the wasteland. Bethesda Game Studios want you to have lots of fun blasting your way through mutants and other survivors, and what better way to do that than with a gang of your buddies.
This newest trailer for Fallout 76 casts the game in the typical over-the-top animated art style of the in universe Vault-Tec ads. It's a light-hearted take on a game that exists in a dark and gritty franchise that subsists on satire. So it's all pretty fitting with the theme of the franchise.
And with the game being all about multiplayer survival, it's great to see at least a little bit about how those mechanics will work in Fallout 76. Players can use their combined efforts to build out their base and use automated and active defenses to mow down legions of enemies. There's even a bit of focus on how interpersonal drama can destroy a base or player group in the game.
You can find the latest trailer for Fallout 76 below. Currently, Bethesda is set up to launch the game on November 14 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
If you want to learn more about the game, check out the original announcement, as well as the video on settlement building. A beta is also coming next month.

Mazon Monday #50: The Dancing Worm of Turkana #MazonMonday #MazonCreek #TullyMonster
Today, we have a real treat. Dr. Eugene Richardson was the Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology at the Field Museum of Natural History from the 1950s until his death in 1983. He had a huge influence on the research of Mazon Creek fossils, particularly the fauna. Dr. Richardson's relationships with amateur collectors allowed him to see what was being found across the many localities and to photograph and sometimes receive a donation of unique specimens that needed further study. One of those specimens turned out to be Tullymonstrum gregarium. Colloquially known as the Tully Monster, Francis Tully is credited with discovering it in a strip mine near Braidwood, IL, about 50 miles southwest of Chicago, in 1955. Mr. Tully was an amateur fossil collector. He brought it to the Field Museum. There at the museum, Dr. Richardson found the fossil very interesting and described and named it in 1966. After a long effort, Tullimonstrum gregarium became the state fossil of Illinois in 1989. You can find more about Francis Tully here.
Eugene Richardson was a man of of many interests and talents. As can be read in the dedication to the "Richardson's Guide to the Fossil Fauna of Mazon Creek", one of his hobbies was printing. The Vanishing Press was his imprint.
Gene Richardson was a man of many hats paleontologist, poet, and printer. Those who knew him professionally may never have guessed how he spent his spare time, while bookmen who so admired the beautiful press work of The Vanishing Press and the writings of E. Scumas Rory would have been surprised to see him in the field with hammer, knapsack, and muddy boots. But all would have attested to the great generosity and far-reaching vision of their friend and colleague.
He wrote and printed a few books under the pseudonym E. Scumas Rory. It should be noted that the "Y" animal is named for the author... Escumaria roryi. One of Rory's books is call "The Dancing Worm of Turkana", which is the basis of this post. I recently got my hands on a physical copy of the book!
A good description of the book, published in 1969, can be found here on the blog "Land of the Dead". The story began as a prank by Bryan Patterson on the staff of the Field Museum. Bryan, a famous paleontologist who studied fossil mammals, had been the Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Field Museum, but was now a professor at Harvard University. The book documents the prank. If you'd like to follow along yourself, here is a pdf scan of the book.
Tullimonstrum was a free-swimming predator of the open ocean. In spite of its abundant fossil record its evolutionary relationships are poorly understood. Although similarities to a variety of marine invertebrate groups has been suggested, none of these ideas are very well supported and the creature's evolutionary position remains a mystery.
So far this was an interesting scientific story --- an enigmatic but abundant fossil species with very, very peculiar morphology and unknown evolutionary relationships --- just the kind of fossil that intrigues and puzzles paleontologists. However Tullimonstrum would soon move beyond the pages of dry, scientific journals.
In July 1966 Richardson wrote a popular account of the Tully monster and his research on it. This included a cover illustration of restored Tullimonstrum swimming and feeding in the ancient Pennsylvanian sea of Illinois. The story was picked up by the press and got wide circulation in newspapers, including the East African Standard of the former British Colonies of East Africa.
In September of 1966 Richardson received a letter from R.G.I. Cloudesley (a retired Lieutenant–Colonel of the Kings African Rifles) then living in Nairobi, Kenya. Cloudesley recounted that 40 years previously he had had been told by a Mr. A.M.A Champion (then District Commander of Turkana and a skilled naturalist) about an unusual giant worm that lived in the lakes of the area. Champion had heard about this creature from local Africans but had never been able to actually obtain a specimen. Cloudesley remembered the worm as having "paddles and a long snout" so that when he read the news stories about the Tullimonstrum he thought it wise to pass this information on to Richardson in case there was call to follow up on it.
As Richardson was preparing a reply to Cloudesley a letter arrived from a Mr. Purshottan S. Patel of Kenya reporting that something like the Tullimonstrum might be living in Turkana, at least based on stories he had been told by relatives of a dancing worm in the lakes. Excited, Richardson began researching what was known about the animal life in these areas. Turns out they were poorly explored and documented areas of the Earth and such an animal might yet well dwell there undiscovered by scientists.
Next Richardson get a letter from an intermediate school teacher from Nakuru, a Mr. Joseph A. Ngomo, who said that his class had read the Sunday Standard that carried the Tullimonstrum story and several students told him they had heard of such a worm from their fathers. Ngomo included a note from Akai (son of Ekechalon) who recounted, in child's writing that the worms, swim and "wave hands" during the full moon, and have a bite fatal to humans.
By this point discussions started up at the Field Museum amongst Richardson and other staff that, given the anecdotal but intriguing reports, an expedition might be warranted. Finding a living relative of the Tullimonstrum would be a really important scientific discovery. The museum published a note in the Newsletter of the East African Natural History Association, hoping more information might be obtained, but there were no responses. That was not too surprising given how little biological scientific work had been done in those remote areas. Local myths and folklore sometimes prove to be true.
Early the following year the museum was visited by Dr. Bryan Patterson, a famous paleontologist who studied fossil mammals. Patterson had been the Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Field Museum but was now a professor at Harvard University. Patterson had just returned from field work in Kenya and happened to know Patel's uncle. He considered him a bit of a rascal. Richardson told Patterson of the Tullimonstrum and showed the various letters to him. Patterson read them with amusement and confessed he had never heard of the dancing worms.
Later it came to light that Patterson had many reasons to be amused because Cloudesley, Ngomo, Patel, and Akai turned out to be all the same person ---- none other than the illustrious Bryan Patterson. Of the ten people in the Field Museum who had been hoodwinked only one was in on Patterson' little prank. That prevented it from going too far and causing professional or institutional embarrassment, after all Patterson was running this from the other side of the globe and couldn't keep track of how the prank was progressing. It was a clever joke that played on the desires, hopes, and scientific passions of all involved. He was giving the Field Museum what they wanted --- living relatives of the Tullimonstrum. If the fossil wasn't so perplexing and problematic it wouldn't have been so alluring.
The illustrious Bryan Patterson and the illusive Dancing Worm of Turkana.
One last bit to the story. Richardson received a Christmas letter in 1968 that on the front carried a photo of Bryan Patterson in full African field regalia holding a rifle in his right and and hanging from his left hand a recently shot good sized Tullimonstrum, with the proboscis and horizontal bar clearly visible. Inside was a poem and under the phrase "The End of the Hunt" were the signatures of Cloudsley, Ngomo, Patel, and Akai!
The staff took the leg pulling in good humor and admitted they had been had by a professional. Several years later Richardson even wrote a short book, under another name, about the Dancing Worms of Turkana. Edward Nash, the editor of the Bulletin of the Field Museum of Natural History wrote an account of the whole story and admitted being taken in by it. He included a copy of the hunting photo as well as the inside of the card with the Kenyan signatures. He also reproduces in full, all the letters from Kenya concerning the discovery, only some of which I have mentioned here.

Discontentment causes worry and worry itself becomes the cause that creates chaos in the mind. All peace is lost and the more one entertains the worry, the more armored 'she' becomes to destroy the very vitality of a man. There is no doctor and no remedy for this cause. This is so true and can be observed by anyone in one's own affairs.

Brigid is a famed mythological goddess of the Celts with not just one key attribute but three distinct ways in which she ruled the ways. Her skills were in healing physical ails, poetry and smithcraft. This would make her the perfect goddess symbol for Shanore, for she would have appreciated the fine metal working that went into the making of all of our pieces.
One of her specialties in healing was guiding childbirth. She was so inspirational and powerful that many holy wells are dedicated to her throughout Ireland most notably at St. Brigid's Well at Liscannor. The well is a place of refuge for those looking to pray to the goddess who brought so much to Ireland so long ago. There are spots to kneel and pray surrounding the well and a statute of Brigid atop the well surrounded in a glass case..
and may I bless you myself.
for the honour of God.
This sterling pendant is the perfect tribute to wear in honor of such an occasion or in remembrance of an outing like this.
There are very specific instructions on how many verses to recite of certain religious prose which also vary on where you are located within the well. For those visiting this location, the sentiments expressed are of walking into a place where there is so much tribute that it is impossible to ignore. The appreciation felt for St. Brigid is obvious by the over abundance of materials left in her honor which run the gamut of meaning from giving thanks, begging for help or displaying worship. Items left behind include religious totems, letters, personal affects and even remains of a medical necessity that is now unneeded all thanks to the great St. Brigid.

HOPE and aspirations
Erik Smith
HOPE – which stands for Hospitals of EurOPE – is an exchange programme which offers NHS colleagues in leadership positions a unique opportunity to exchange time in their healthcare system with another EU member state for four weeks. In his first blog, Erik Smith, HR business partner at Central North West London NHS Foundation Trust, shares the start of his journey on the programme.
I work for Central North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWL). CNWL have approximately 6500 to 7000 staff (depending on services and tendering processes) operating in 300 different health services (physical and mental health, older adults to child and adolescent services, community and inpatient services, sexual health or eating disorders, addictions and substance abuse as well as offender care). With a budget of £450million CNWL has 150 sites across a vast geographic area for the UK from Milton Keynes across London and out to Kent. Our catchment area covers a range of vibrant and diverse communities, with over 100 first languages spoken.
As a HR business partner for a mental health hospital, I focus on:
Building Relationships with services and HR teams
Workforce Development and Planning
Tendering and TUPE
Employee Relations (ER)
Terms and Conditions of Employment / Policy Development
Applying for the programme
My motivations for applying were multiple. On a personal level I have always enjoyed working with different cultures and values, and with this programme there is a massive opportunity to experience living in another country for a month. In terms of my professional development, the programme offered numerous opportunities to challenge myself and pick up different insights and innovations into the delivery of healthcare in another country. I hoped this insight would allow me to improve myself as a HR practitioner in partnering my service areas and bring back real value to hopefully improve services. On an organisational level, I was participating to get an assessment of the potential costs for my organisation with a view to ensuring regular participation in the exchange with CNWL, so that we may regularly send participants as part of a Trust talent management programme.
Before I started the programme, I had previously worked with a hospital in Lugo in the northwest of Spain in a province called Galecia. After my time in Lugo, I stayed in Oviedo observing mental health care across the region of Asturias. So I hoped to continue to fulfil some of my personal aspirations through participating in the HOPE programme, specifically:
Innovation: I wanted to observe healthcare management practices, structures and systems in another country and bring innovations to CNWL which support models referenced in the NHS Five Year Forward View. I have a particular interest in the Alzira Public/Private model in Spain (pg 24). Problems with Spain's economy resulted in deep cost reductions in healthcare, and yet the Alzira model reported better patient outcomes. The HOPE programme presented an opportunity to assess how CNWL might benefit. Insight into the different HR approaches, training and models of learning could also improve my own HR practice.
Improving efficiency: Efficiency programmes forecast that we will need to facilitate movement of patients who use adult mental health services into community care settings, and the Alzira model highlights a faster discharge of patients out of inpatient settings. Observing other models and pathways of care could provide the ability to share simple solutions to improve patient pathways and allow me to perform more effectively in my role and supporting services. HR functions in other countries which share EU employment law may have more efficient methods of incorporating EU law that I can also implement.
European Networks: Brexit will divide Britain from Europe; HOPE provides an opportunity to establish links between CNWL and European healthcare organisations. It's my intention to utilise these to facilitate cross sharing of ideas and improve my ability to innovate at CNWL. This means there will be opportunities to continually innovate by challenging each other and share different models of delivery.
Healthcare organisational links: The NHS relies on European labour. Partnerships with EU organisations may offer mutual benefits such as cutting out agencies, and identifying staff wanting relocation to Europe or Britain. Post-Brexit, I hope to develop reciprocal arrangements as a partner with Healthcare organisations in Europe. My aim is that after Brexit, VISA sponsorship arrangements might be needed for EU nurses who subsequently might not know where to start when looking to work in the UK. By developing networks with other organisations in Europe my hope is that CNWL will be a reference point to EU organisations that have staff wishing to move to the UK with reciprocal arrangements in place for nurses who wish to move to the EU from the UK. The idea is that it will give CNWL an advantage in being able to access potential EU talent pools of staff interested in coming to the UK with future VISA requirements, such as company sponsorship.
Cultural development: Working in another country would allow me to immerse myself in a different culture and offer me different perspectives on life as well as different approaches to challenges – both personal and professional – better-enabling me to support others. I love languages and wherever I was placed I knew I'd enjoy learning the local language beforehand. The programme would also hopefully gain me lifelong friends across Europe I could potentially visit when travelling, allowing me to see and experience places in Europe from local perspectives.
Testing life ambitions: I love innovation and learning and believe creativity is harnessed from learning new perspectives and merging ideas or concepts. I've never lived outside the UK and it was an aim to live and work abroad and develop my understanding of local cultures.
Benefits to the NHS
The benefits I wish to deliver to the NHS from participating in the programme are:
Insight and innovation: Staff involved in the programme should bring different innovations and ways of delivering care, improving the patient experience and reducing cost. As well as CNWL offering staff to the programme, I plan for CNWL to host staff from Europe who can also generate different perspectives and creative solutions to CNWL problems.
More effective talent management: Subject to costs, I plan to utilise HOPE as part of a talent management system, with CNWL sending some of our best staff to participate annually. I also plan to use a 'Dragons Den' format to invite staff to put forward business ideas annually for stretch projects to our executives/ senior managers. The programme will provide a different way to develop high performing staff when there is no immediately available promotion.
A reward programme: To work abroad and experience a different country is a unique enjoyable experience. While challenging, it also offers staff the opportunity to enjoy another country with the ability to make new networks from around Europe. It could act as a form of reward for our best performing staff.
CNWL – Great Place To Work: HOPE is a unique international opportunity not offered by all NHS Trusts. Frequent participation in the programme will differentiate CNWL as an NHS organisation with an international outlook, providing progressive forward-thinking opportunities for staff to ensure international best practices are embedded in our patient care.
Staff performance: CNWL operate a 1-4 performance rating system (1= top rating). I plan for HOPE applications to be open only to staff with a 1 rating. I anticipate that by making applications exclusive to 1 rated staff it will initiate staff /manager performance discussions, instigating staff striving to achieve a 1 rating and perform at the highest level.
Staff retention: The programme could motivate staff to stay at CNWL and try to obtain a place. It will assist in retaining key staff who might have otherwise moved on (myself being an example) with a year from application to participation, ensuring talented staff stay to access the exchange.
Recruitment: By regularly participating, CNWL will raise its profile across Europe, both by the work carried out by our staff on placement and offering a positive experience as a host, making us an employer of choice to European health workers. Advertising CNWLs participation in recruitment will also attract additional UK health workers.
Targeted solutions: By inviting staff to put forward business proposals to participate, CNWL can utilise stretch research projects targeted at specific improvement areas. The programme can be used to draw together different practices which can enable CNWL to deliver improved sustainable healthcare plans.
European Networks: The programme could help CNWL build up a database of healthcare manager contacts in Europe, maintain positive relationships and share best practice.
The Academy is pleased to be sponsoring the HOPE European Exchange programme again in 2018. Applications are now open, and you can find out more about the programme here.

Facinating Erik, Sounds like a fab and rich experience. What a great opportunity to seize the innovative ideas from Europe. We have so many talented staff in our organisation and hope that staff will be supported to access this program. Well done!

based on http://pacificdigitallibrary.org
Description of the Flag
Based on a personal web site at http://www.users.quest.net/~rae.4332/flags.html (no longer available), developed by an inhabitant of Palau, which shows the flags of all the 16 states of Palau. The flag is blue, with a tilted yellow crescent moon, 7 yellow stars (one larger) and in the centre a native house. According the census Koror has an area of 65 sq. km, a population of 12,299 inhabitants, and the capital is Koror.
André Pires Godinho, 30 March 2003
From http://kororstategov.com/index.html:
On the ocean of blue as the background tells a story of our greater resource, the vast ocean around us. The golden crescent moon symbolizes the new government evolving and growing with the six stars in unity. The six stars represent the six hamlets of Koror State. The larger star in the middle dividing six stars in half, demonstrates the union of the NgaraMeketii and RubekulKeldeu. The two separate leaders that once were separate, now united as one Body of Traditional Leaders of Koror. In the center of the circle is the traditional meetinghouse called "Bai". Bai will always remind us that we are sheltered in our heritage, resting on the strong stone platform, with our ten traditional leaders as our strong foundation.
In essence, the flag is a reminder that the People of Koror are protected by their Democratic Government and Traditional Leaders as they as people of traditional and heritage while growing with the Republic of Palau.
Paraskevas Renesis, 22 September 2011
The law for the Koror State flag with many details can be found at http://www.kororstategov.com/pdf/laws/K5-81-97%20Koror%20State%20Flag.pdf.
According to http://pacificdigitallibrary.org, the flag of Koror is dark blue with a traditional "abai" house surrounded by a crescent moon and seven stars, the central star bigger, all yellow, arranged in a ring pattern around the "abai". Blue symbolizes the sea surrounding the island and the sky, in which hang the crescent moon and stars.
The traditional "abai" rests on a sure foundation of ten stones, strong symbols of the ten traditional chiefs on which our culture rests and stand. The depiction of historic and cultural stories on its facade represents the shelter we have in our heritage, the freedom that gives us to wander the world knowing we have a secure home waiting for our return and a solid past from which to Launch our bright future. The circle of unity, surrounding and protecting the "abai", is a symbol of strength and unity, continuity and progress. The crescent moon represents newness and evolution. The six smaller stars represent the six traditional hamlets forming Koror; the larger star in the middle symbolizes combined central traditional hamlets.
Construction details are given as follows:
- Proportions 3:5;
- Diameter of the ring made by the crescent moon and the star: 1/1.44 of the flag's width;
- Center of the circle vertically centered on the flag, horizontally at 1/3 from the flag's hoist;
- Position of the crescent moon: 60 degrees;
- Ratio of the larger to the smaller stars: 2:1.

Hello, new parents! We know that keeping babies and toddlers safe and healthy requires constant effort. You snap them snugly in their car seats, lock your medicine cabinet, and guard the stairway with a gate. You take them to your pediatrician for immunizations, check-ups, and an occasional prescription for an antibiotic. Pediatric Dental Center wants to remind you about another important component of child wellness, early dental care. Sadly, we see too many cases of completely preventable child tooth decay.
Don't allow little ones to drink juice continually during the day!
Oral health is intrinsically connected to overall physical health and normal development. If your oral hygiene is not up to par, now is the time to shape up and help your young child develop ideal oral health behaviors with early dental care. These practices will serve your child well throughout their entire life.
Pediatric Dental Center recommends beginning twice-yearly dental visits around age one or when the first tooth erupts. Our friendly staff helps young patients feel comfortable and relaxed during their exams. Dr. Eric Soper can advise you on thumb sucking, dental sealants, normal child tooth development, braces, athletic tooth protection, fluoride, or any other pediatric dental issue. If your toddler has not yet visited the dentist, schedule an appointment as soon as possible by calling us at 859-534-5640. We can discuss early dental care in a safe and comfortable environment with you and your family. Our friendly staff looks forward to seeing you.

A string which contains characters is called a "null" string.
May also draw random "shapes" all over the high-resolution graphics areas of memory, possibly destroying your program, even if you are not in graphics mode. And a move of in section A will end your shape definition unless there is a 1-bit somewhere in section B or C. Errors in a deferred-execution statement are not detected until that statement is executed- The following are the possible error codes and their meanings.
If VTAB moves the cursor to a line below the text window, all subsequent printing takes place on that line. You cannot use these words as variable names or as part of any variable name.

Use reset Ctrl C return to recover. Zeroes all variables, arrays and strings. I liked it, but now it is out of date to today's computers.
But you can get into trouble assigning the null string to a string variable, as discussed in Chapter 7 under the IF statement. For this example, we'll use hexadecimal address IDFC. Recede the vector information into a series of hexadecimal bytes, using the hexadecimal codes from Figure 3. For instance, ZI could be substituted everywhere there is an N in the above program and it would function exactly the same.
Note the use of REM statements for clarity.

Rajapaksa: Sri Lanka's disputed PM resigns amid crisis
latestnewsonlineDic 15, 2018World News
Mahinda Rajapaksa attended a religious ceremony after resigning on Saturday
Mahinda Rajapaksa has resigned as Sri Lanka's prime minister, seven weeks after he was appointed in a surprise move that sparked a political crisis.
Mr Rajapaksa, Sri Lanka's former president, signed his resignation letter in a ceremony at his house.
His son, Namal, told the BBC his father had quit to ensure national stability.
The resignation could bring to an end a nearly two-month-long power struggle that has dented confidence in Sri Lanka's stability.
In October, President Maithripala Sirisena sacked then prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, replacing him with Mr Rajapaksa.
Mr Wickremesinghe is expected to return to office on Sunday.
His party's spokesman Harin Fernando told the BBC: "The president has agreed to swear in Ranil Wickremesinghe as Prime Minister tomorrow at 10 am."
He said this would end the political deadlock, remarking that the the country and its economy had suffered "huge damage" since the crisis began 50 days ago.

Sri Lanka profile
On Thursday, the Supreme Court said Mr Sirisena had acted illegally in November by dissolving parliament and calling snap polls with nearly two years to go until elections were due.
Throughout the crisis, Mr Wickremesinghe has always maintained he is the rightful PM.
The crisis, which has provoked brawls in parliament and sparked large protests, has been closely watched by regional power India, as well as the US, China and European Union.
Mr Rajapaksa, who dominated Sri Lankan politics for a decade until 2015, has an uneasy relationship with the West over the bloody end to the country's civil war in 2009, when thousands of civilians were killed. Both government forces and the Tamil Tiger separatist rebels are accused of grave human rights abuses and crimes.
On Wednesday, parliament passed a vote of confidence in Ranil Wickremesinghe as prime minister.
His party and its allies have a simple majority in parliament – and have argued from the beginning that President Sirisena's actions were unconstitutional.
What are the roots of the saga?
Mr Sirisena was once a party ally of Mr Rajapaksa, and served in his government.
But in 2015, he teamed up with Ranil Wickremesinghe to defeat him in an election and the pair went on to form a coalition government.
However the relationship between president and prime minister turned sour and Mr Sirisena in October turned on Mr Wickremesinghe, sacking him in favour of Mr Rajapaksa, his old ally-turned-rival-turned-ally.
He called Mr Wickremesinghe arrogant and linked him to a controversial central bank bond sale, which is alleged to have led to the loss of 11bn Sri Lankan rupees ($65m; £50m). The president also alleged that a cabinet minister was involved in a plot to kill him and that police had obstructed an investigation.

FIRST-TIME WINNERS AT SPRINGFIELD TRANSLATE TO USAC CHAMPS
Posted by Racers Guide in Dirt Tracks, Latest News, Sprint Cars & Midgets, USAC 11 months ago 239 Views Leave your thoughts
Story By: Richie Murray – USAC Media

Springfield, Illinois………When Justin Grant took the checkered flag in the 2017 running of the "Bettenhausen 100" at the Illinois State Fairgrounds, it was a culmination of a dream afternoon for the Ione, Calif. native.
Not only did he capture a victory in one of the most prestigious events on the schedule, he joined a list of some of the most successful racers in the history of the series who earned their first career USAC Silver Crown victory right on the Springfield Mile, host of this Saturday's USAC Silver Crown event.
The lineage of the Silver Crown series goes back to 1971, when the dirt tracks on the National Championship trail were split into their own division. By that point, A.J. Foyt and Mario Andretti were already Indianapolis 500 winners and household names. But, their first official Silver Crown wins came after that point when they came out to play in the dirt with Foyt picking up the win in 1971 and Andretti doing so in 1973. Both would win their lone Silver Crown titles a year following their first series victory with Foyt taking the crown in 1972 and Andretti in 1974.
Between 1977 and 1979, all three "Bettenhausen 100" winners celebrated their first career Silver Crown victories at Springfield. In 1977, Larry Rice captured win number one at Springfield on his way to the Silver Crown title aboard the LeFevre No. 5. In 1978, Gary Bettenhausen won his first at Springfield, then two years later, was a first-time Silver Crown champ in 1980. Bobby Olivero took the reins of his first Silver Crown triumph at Springfield in 1979 en route to his first Silver Crown championship later that same year.
Thirty years would go by before another driver would win his first series race at Springfield when Cole Whitt wired all 100 laps for the victory. Eight years later, in 2017, Grant would reach his way to the promised land, holding off Kody Swanson and Jeff Swindell on a late restart to capture the victory, the third consecutive Californian to do the Springfield/first Silver Crown win combo.
Springfield seems to breed champions. All but Whitt in that span went on to capture the Silver Crown title within the next two years. Even then, when Whitt won at Springfield, he was the reigning USAC National Midget champ from 2008.
Prior to the formation of the Silver Crown series, Springfield's heritage as part of the AAA National Championship schedule goes all the way back to 1934 when Billy Winn captured the first of his two Springfield scores. Tony Willman and Emil Andres followed with their first series wins on the Illinois State Fair soil in 1938 and 1939, respectively.
In a span between the years of 1950 and 1960, five more joined the group, including Paul Russo in 1950, Bill Schindler (1952), Rodger Ward (1953), while Sam Hanks scored later in 1953. Jim Packard earned his lone Champ Car victory at Springfield in 1960, just five weeks before his untimely death in a midget crash in Fairfield, Ill.
Hanks carried on to win the title in 1953 following his win, while Ward would have to wait another six years before grabbing the first of his two USAC National titles in 1959.
At least in the USAC era, a driver enjoying the spoils of victory for the initial time in his career at Springfield has seemingly proved a boon to future success, almost immediately. Grant is still a relative newcomer at this Silver Crown game, amidst in his third full year. He finished a career-high fourth in points a year ago and, this year already, has won at the Terre Haute (Ind.) Action Track and is second in points, albeit a mountainous 126 points behind Kody Swanson.
Perhaps Grant's success will translate into a championship soon enough, but first things first, winning back-to-back at Springfield this Saturday is the goal, something that's only been accomplished on 11 occasions: Billy Winn (1934-35), Tony Bettenhausen (1950-51), Jimmy Bryan (1955-56), Jim Hurtubise (1961-62), A.J. Foyt (1964-65), Mario Andretti (1973-74), Chuck Gurney (1984-85, 89-90-91), Jack Hewitt (1986-87), Brian Tyler (2004-05), A.J. Fike (2012-13) and Kody Swanson (2014-15).
Eight of those 11 drivers were already, or eventually became USAC National champions. Something in the cards down the line for Grant? Maybe. Only time will tell.
On Saturday, registration and pits will open at 7am, grandstands and ticket office at 9pm, Silver Crown practice at 10am, two-lap qualifying at 11:30am, Sportsman hot laps at noon, Silver Crown semi at 12:30pm, Sportsman heats at 1pm and the "Bettenhausen 100" at 2pm.

We attended the third Emerald Hill Festival, developed to showcase the art and culture of South Melbourne.
Our office is located at 204 Bank Street, and the Emerald festival was literally at our door step. A family friendly event, the festival featured musical acts, pop-up food trucks, specific activities for children and information about various groups in the City of Port Phillip.
