Ensuring the next harvest
Tags: SOUTHERN AFRICA, LESOTHO, MOZAMBIQUE, ESWATINI, ECHO, CERF, NORWAY, RESOURCE PARTNERS,
FAO agricultural fairs help thousands of poor farm families in southern Africa – FAO has distributed over 1 000 tonnes of seeds, as well as fertilizer and tools, to more than 110 000 poor farmers in three southern African countries through a system of mobile trade fairs.
The agricultural inputs distributed in Lesotho, Mozambique and Swaziland total US$ 7 million and are enough to plant an estimated 50 000 hectares of crops.
"This is a significant contribution towards ensuring a successful upcoming harvest for tens of thousands of families," said Anne Bauer, Director of FAO's Emergency Operations and Rehabilitation Division. "The more we can support quality farm outputs and help diversify crops and strengthen capacities, the fewer people will need food aid and other handouts next season."
Through a unique voucher system pioneered by the non-governmental organization Catholic Relief Services, farmers attending the fairs receive vouchers with cash values between US$15 and US$75, so that they can choose what to purchase among the seeds, fertilizer, tools and tillage services on offer.
The fairs in Lesotho and Swaziland were funded by the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), the Humanitarian Aid Department of the European Commission (ECHO), and the Government of Norway. While the fairs in Mozambique received funding from South Africa and Flanders.

'Fame' born in the Bronx returns: Two local stars come back for screening of dance flick
By MIKE JACCARINO
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER |

They're going to be Fame-ous.
Two Bronx kids who producers have cast in the upcoming MGM remake of the movie "Fame" will get their own hometown screening this Sunday.
Kristy Flores and Anthony Carr will be on hand an hour before the 12:30 p.m. showing at the AMC Theatres Bay Plaza Mall to meet and greet their fans. The movie opened around the country Sept. 25.
"We're thrilled and ecstatic. They're our students," said Lydia Perez, associate director of Bronx Dance Theater, where both learned their trade.
"Anthony has had a wonderful career. We love following him. This was Kristy's first big break. Her first time out and she won a leading role."
Flores, 21, plays the role of Rosie - an opinionated, tough-talking hip-hop dancer - and Carr, 24, is one of the aspiring dancers.
Flores, who hails from Belmont, was teaching dance at Public School 71 and PS 14, and working at a Leroy's Pharmacy last year when she got her break.
She won the part after an open casting call in June last year at the Bronx Dance Theater, a nonprofit dance school on E. 187th St. Flores has attended the school for three years and Carr for about 17 years.
The movie is a remake of the rambunctious 1980s cult hit that follows several youngsters as they chase their dreams at New York's High School for the Performing Arts.
Flores beat out hundreds of aspiring stars who auditioned on both coasts and in Canada.
"I was literally the first one to audition," Flores said. "I was a little skeptical. I was like, 'Why are they in the Bronx?' But I kept getting callback after callback. I thought, 'Maybe I do have a chance.' I rented 'Fame,' the original movie. Now, I'm in the movie. It's crazy."
Carr from the Kingsbridge Road area, already lived in Los Angeles. when he he went for an audition last October and won a role as a dancer.
He is currently traveling as a dancer with Britney Spears. Flores just left for Canada to film a new movie, "Beat the World."
All seats for the Sunday showing are $15. Tickets must be purchased in advance at the Bronx Dance Theatre at 585 E. 187th St. or online at www.bronxdancetheatre.com.
Tickets will not be sold at the Bay Plaza AMC, and a pass will be needed to enter the theater, at 2210 Bartow Ave. in Co-op City. Space is limited.
Flores said she was so excited on the first day of shooting that she refused to leave, even though she wasn't in any of the scenes.
"The feeling of that first day still stays with me," she said. "It's something I will never forget."

Solar Mining Services is a new dynamic entrant to the explosives and related services segment for the South African mining and quarrying sectors. Inside Mining speaks to Charles Hurly, marketing lead, Solar Mining Services, about the company's approach to business.
Can you provide a brief bio looking at the Solar Mining Services business from inception to date?
CH Solar Mining Services is an explosives manufacturer and related products services provider based in South Africa. The company gets its pedigree from the Solar Group based in India. Given the Southern African demand for competitive explosives, Solar established a local entity in 2015 to service surface and underground mining operations with explosives and services. The company has invested in the South African economy in the establishment of a manufacturing site and detonator assembly plant located in Middelburg.
How has Solar Mining established a competitive edge in the local market?
Solar has a philosophy of providing competitively priced explosives based on imported ammonium nitrate costing models, which differ from the traditional ammonia-based pricing formulas. Solar also believes in using fit-for-purpose products, with the concept based around using the most effective products for the application required.
As a fairly new entrant to the explosives services sector, tell us what your take on the industry is?
The cost of running a mining business in South Africa is escalating, with energy, maintenance and labour being significant drivers. While the market value for any commodity is determined by forces outside the mining company's individual control, efficiencies and total cost of mining are among the key elements to creating a sustainable competitive businesses.
If best mining practices are combined with competitive explosives, companies can achieve operational efficiencies in this area. With effective management of all the elements in the business and efficient, productive, committed labour, mining can continue to contribute and compete in the global mining landscape. This is also fundamentally underpinned by an enabling, consistent and investor-friendly government policy towards mining.
I read recently that Solar Mining announced some new appointments; can you share what motivates this evident appetite for growth for the company?
Solar has appointed senior sales people to position the company for consistent and sustained growth by adding experienced seasoned personnel. This will be through new businesses development opportunities and organic growth from existing customers. Similar to the 'fit for purpose' sales pitch, the company believes in employing people in line with its requirements to position Solar as a supplier of choice.
Speaking of growth, what is the company's strategy moving forward?
The company has a strategy of using ammonium-nitrate-index-based pricing in the market and ensuring we offer fit for purpose products that provide effective solutions to customers.
Can you give us some insight into your innovative blast solutions and services?
Solar is in the process of developing new blasting software that will be beneficial to customers' experiences and blast results. This is still in the early stages of development.
We have also been very successful in revisiting the basics of the explosives business. For example, in a recent successful trial, Solar managed to significantly reduce the amount of shock tube used in underground faces, having found that there is a tendency to use excessive lengths of the instrument.
Most of your competitors import ammonium nitrate to supplement their supply and typically use NH3 pricing standards from Sasol Ammonia as their main nitrate formula component. How is Solar Mining different?
In South Africa, ammonia is typically converted into ammonium nitrate. Due to this, the companies that operate in this manner have adapted a sales price formula that follows this business process ( e.g. ammonia price, conversion costs and transport). Solar does not convert ammonia to ammonium nitrate but imports the finished ammonium nitrate. Ammonium nitrate has its own international pricing index. The business models are different. Solar's total business functions in this manner. It too allows for transparency of the rise and fall of input costs.
The importance of drilling accuracy cannot be understated, as it has a huge bearing on the success of blasts. What does Solar Mining do here to establish accurate drills?
Accurate drilling needs to be adhered to for effective blasting, as does using the correct and adequate lengths of shock tube. This allows for less environmental impact due to cutting down on the volume of single-use plastics and also offers a cost advantage to the mine.
Generally, for us, this depends on the level of involvement prescribed by the contract. In some instances, Solar only supplies product .The client has the responsibility of ensuring that the planning, marking and drilling are done according to the blast plan. Where Solar is contracted to perform this responsibility, however, by way of a full blasting service, supervision, reporting and corrective action are advised or recommended.

Sofia Vergara fighting former fiancé Nick Loeb over names of ex-girlfriends who had abortions
By Nancy Dillon
Sofia Vergara's battle with her former fiancé over their frozen embryos has reached fever pitch again.
Sofia Vergara's battle with her former fiancé over their frozen embryos has reached fever pitch again.
Nick Loeb — who is fighting to have the embryos implanted in a surrogate over Vergara's objections — told the Daily News Tuesday that he's stunned California courts want him to hand over the names of two former girlfriends who terminated pregnancies with him.
Vergara's lawyer, meanwhile, claims her side has every right to question the women about Loeb's knowledge of the abortions because his stated belief that life begins at conception is central to his complaint.
The "Modern Family" star's lawyer Fred Silberberg said the women's names would subject to a protective order — so their privacy shouldn't be an issue.
"Oddly, Loeb wants us to believe that he supports a woman's right to privacy, and to make a choice concerning reproduction. However, he seems to believe that his celebrity ex-fiancé, Sofia Vergara, does not have those same rights," Silberberg told The News.
For his part, Loeb said the two women's right to absolute privacy should outweigh the right of Vergara's lawyers to contact them directly and possibly out them with loved ones who could make the connection.
"Could you imagine if you had moved on with your life, gotten married and had children and kept this a secret from your family, then all of a sudden 15 years later (you were) made to reveal your abortion to the world. Maybe your parents never knew, maybe your husband never knew, nor your children," Loeb told The News.
"For the California court to make these women wear a scarlet letter in today's world is shocking," he told The News.

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge previously agreed with Vergara that the women could be useful witnesses. That led Loeb to appeal the decision in California's 2nd Appellate District last week.
The appeals court ultimately sided with the lower court, setting the stage for a tense follow-up hearing in Santa Monica, Calif., early Wednesday.
In an email to The News, Loeb claimed Vergara's lawyers "only care to expose, intimidate and humiliate women who have had abortions."
Silberberg said it's Loeb who brought the case to this point because he won't accept a written agreement he made with Vergara that neither party would be able to take any action regarding the embryos without the other's written consent.
"In the course of discovery undertaken to defend against Loeb's claims, Loeb, while claiming to be in support of the 'right to life,' disclosed that he had gotten two different women pregnant prior to his relationship with Vergara and that the pregnancies were terminated," Silberberg said.
"Loeb's actions prior to his relationship with Vergara seem contradictory to the claims he is making in this lawsuit and beg the question as to why is it that he finds it important to bring the pre-embryos created with Vergara, a public figure, to term, but not the actual embryos created previously with two different women," the lawyer said.
In an April 2015 op-ed written for the New York Times, Loeb first revealed that while he was in his 20s, a girlfriend terminated a pregnancy with him. He described the decision as one that was "entirely out of my hands."

The fight over the embryos started as an anonymous John Doe complaint filed in August 2014 but quickly leaked to the media.
In his lengthy op-ed, Loeb said he wanted custody of the couple's two frozen female embryos "to carry our girls to term and raise them."
Loeb claimed he told Vergara he would assume "full parenting responsibilities" — even agree to have Vergara declared no more than egg donor — if one or both embryos resulted in full-term pregnancy.
He argued the battle had "nothing to do with the rights over one's own body, and everything to do with a parent's right to protect the life of his or her unborn child."
The actress has stated through her lawyers that she does not want the embryos used or destroyed — rather held in the same frozen state they've been in since the couple broke up in May 2014.

Top Three Indian Television Dramas that Stole The Heart of Indonesian Viewers This Year
Murtaza Ali Khan 11:59:00 PM bollywood , india , indian television , indonesia , miscellaneous , television Edit

Back in the 80s to 90s, the majority of Indonesian people were always eager to wait for their favorite Bollywood movies, which were aired in some television stations. They were also very enthusiastic in queue for hours to buy tickets, in order to watch their favorite Indian actors or actresses. Well, Indian movies or songs were very close to the heart of most Indonesians.
During the past five years, they have been 'lucky' enough to watch many kinds of Bollywood dramas or movies, without a single dime. They can either watch some dramas in national television stations or subscribing TV channels, airing India movies or dramas for 24 hours.
Indian dramas become the most favorite television shows lately In Indonesia, thanks to ANTV's consistency in airing various kinds of dramas. So far, some of them are highly rated, especially dramas with interesting plot stories. It was started with the huge success of Mahabharata, in which ANTV has continued its effort in airing selective dramas like Chakravatin Shamrat Ashoka and Jodha Akbar. All of them were broadcast during prime time. Definitely, they had high ratings.
Then, ANTV tried to introduce the phenomenal "Uttaran". Well, we know a lot of dramas with family and love life theme. "Uttaran" had a similar theme. But its intriguing plot had charmed its viewers, who didn't want to miss every single episode. Even when "Uttaran" was aired for four consecutive hours, its rating was even higher than expected.
Now, ANTV is airing six Bollywood movies for approximately eight hours! As "Uttaran" has ended, ANTV has been trying to show several dramas with almost similar themes. But, among the most favorite dramas are "Thapki Pyar Ki" or known as Thapki, "Kumkum Bhagya" (Lonceng Cinta), and "Yeh Hai Mohabbatein" (Mohabbatein).
"Thapki" was firstly aired on July 18th, 2016. The main story revolves about a stuttered girl, who finally reached her success, regardless of her flaws. Just expect to see her being abused by people around her, while she was fighting hard to prove that she wasn't just an ordinary girl. You can also see her ups and downs love life, which commonly becomes the main theme of most Bollywood dramas.
Picture: http://cdnjadwaltelevisi-53a2.kxcdn.com/content/data/jadwal%20tv/image-post/yeh-hai-mohabbatein-min.jpg
Another drama with the similar theme is "Yeh Hai Mohabbatein". Undoubtedly, it was the most wanted serials in India for three years now. Aired in 2013 in Star Plus, the serial is seemingly endless up to now. In the beginning of October 2016, "Yeh Hai Mohabbatein" has reached 400 episodes. The plot is actually very 'ordinary'. The main roles are Raman and Ishita, who were married, got divorced and remarried, due to their love twists. It seems that the twists had increased viewers' curiosity. Yet, the best thing about watching 'Ye Hai Mohabbatein' is its excellent performance from each actor and actress. Almost all of the main and supporting actors have been stunningly popular for decades.
But, it seems very surprising to see how "Kumkum Bhagya" becomes one of the most wanted serials, at this moment. The drama reveals the story about two sisters, who love and support each other during their good and bad times. It was stated that the drama was based on the popular novel by Jane Austen, titled "Sense and Sensibility". But, actually, the real plot of "Kumkum Bhagya"—known as "Lonceng Cinta" still has lots of similarities with common Indian serials. Love twists, rivalry, hatred remain as the magnet for its loyal viewers.
Well, let's wait which one of them will reach the highest television rating during prime time. You can also read the complete synopsis for each of the Bollywood series that was aired in Indonesia on this site: jadwaltelevisi.com.

At Rio Grande Educational Collaborative, we have taken the time to research, implement, and build strong relationships with some wonderful enrichment partners. Today we'd like to tell you more about our partnership with New Mexico PBS. Using media in teaching is an exciting tool because it's something kids know and like. By using a media program to enhance learning, kids get exposure to new topics and ideas in a method that is familiar and fun for them.
PBS Kids Ready to Learn programming provides numerous learning resources for kids, inspired by and featuring classic characters, as well as some exciting new ones. For example, kids can learn about real-life math and problem solving with the help of The Cat in the Hat. PBS Kids Lab has developed multiple math enrichment games that feature this favorite character. Videos and games help kids learn to build and use maps and understand sorting and measurement.
Other programs that kids love include SciGirls, which promotes gender-equitable learning by showing real girls engaging in fun science experiments, and by interviewing female role models in STEM fields. The quirky Odd Squad series features a group of kid investigators who combine imaginative storytelling with learning arithmetic and geography. These programs and their corresponding activities are engaging for kids, and inspire fun while learning.
PBS Kids programming is often the jumping-off point for group activities that help kids get excited about reading and problem solving as they work together. RGEC uses these partnerships to give kids a fresh perspective on topics they learn in school, and teach them that learning can be fun. To learn more about Rio Grande Educational Collaborative's enrichment partners, stay tuned for our next email about Instituto Cervantes.
They help me get my work done.
What I like about RGEC is that we have teachers that care about us.


Never in a million years I thought I would get the opportunity to be a part of one of the most geekiest and technologically advanced events in the world – Google I/O. However thanks to LetMeKnow.lk I was able to participate at this year's edition of Google I/O Extended.
Terms like 'Google' and 'GDG Group' made me get scared of the event merely because I thought it was going to be one massive event where we would look like sprats next to whales in the IT industry. However I was told by my colleagues that there was nothing to worry about and I should be treating this as if it was another casual exhibition. The kind which we used to participate in school. Yet with a lot of nervousness I stepped into the hallway of SLECC.
23% of this year's participants from around the world were women. It is a huge leap from a drastic participation of 8% from a few years back.
As a girl yes I do feel proud about the women out there. Merely because they had the courage to break the rules and show the world that they have got what it takes to be successful in every aspect of life and certainly in the IT industry. As a country yes we might be a little behind in terms of development and economic growth. Yet we are clearly developing in terms of social and cultural aspects.
All in all it was an event filled with a vast assemble of innovative and fun filled apps and software with a key objective of exploring the innumerable ideas in technology that will make life easier.

Despite social demand for equality and a society free from racism, prejudice and discrimination, it should come as no surprise that such things remain prevalent. Recently the topic of preference for lighter skin has been bothering me, irritating me, like a metallic screech in my brain that echoes within my skull. Why? Because I, like many others, cannot fathom how such overt discrimination over light skin and the privileges associated with it can still persist. Yet, even in a hypothetical world where preference for lighter skin is crumbled and demolished from our minds and society, the outcome, a society where we are judged not by the color of our skin but by the content of our character, as Martin Luther King Jr might have wanted, would not seem very different from the world of color. I think at this point my professor would advise me to give an example and go into detail in order to prove my position (and get a good grade).
Let us take an example of skin color and privilege, such as what is considered beautiful in society. In terms of physical beauty for women, many believe that those with lighter skin or with some type of European-associated characteristics, such as blue eyes, are considered to be attractive and beautiful. Women who have acquired these desired attributes can then trade them to find a romantic partner who has other desirable social resources, such as income. Privilege for 'beautiful' women may also extend to higher chances of employment. The point I wish to highlight with this example is that as a society we give certain features or social resources certain value that we deem precious and hand out privileges to those individuals who have attained that of value.
When members of society demand the end of discrimination based on race or color and the end of privileges associated with color or race, they demand that society should instead look towards other criteria to judge and handout rewards, for example education or skill. What we are really doing now is simply rearranging the worth and values of attributes or characteristics. We are not changing the framework of how society works we are simply using a new measuring tool. It is the same problem but with a different mask. This fact is what tears me apart. Making the switch from judging based on color to one based on 'higher' more moral qualifications does not eliminate discrimination or inequality at all. If we put a higher value on being short and round and see it as more beautiful, don't we now discriminate against tall and thin people? Or how about handing out employment based on the most qualified and hardworking people? Aren`t we now imposing our definitions of qualified and hardworking to other people, who may or may not hold the same views? I believe that my frustration for all this stems from the fact that we as a society see the problems but don't want to change the structure. Is there a way to make things fair without discrimination in some other way?


This is the moment a motorcyclist fell asleep while driving and ended up falling into a ditch at the side of the road, next to a rice paddy.
Le Hai Vu, who was driving in the vehicle behind and captured the incident on dash-cam, said: "I saw a man riding a motorbike in front of him and suddenly the man ... crossed the road, plunging to the rice field." Once seeing the man drift off the side of the road and in the irrigation ditch, Vu stopped the car and quickly rescued the motorcyclist.
The video was captured on April 12 in Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam.

Waterfront: Foreign Seafarers Get Warm Greeting in Philly After Long Voyages
December 16, 2014 Immigration, Port Richmond, Religion, Spring Garden, Transportation 0
The Rickmers Seoul ship is just one of the many ships to dock at the Tioga Marine Terminal on the Delaware River in any given week. Nearly 92 percent of these ships are visited by someone from the 171-year-old Seamen's Church Institute of Philadelphia.
The Seamen's Church Institute visits about 40 to 50 ships a week to provide services to the long-term crew members traveling on board. The group serves the ports from the Delaware state line up to the U.S. Steel Fairless Works in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
The ship docked at 2 a.m. Dec. 2 and received a visit from Seamen's Church communications director Patricia Johnston that morning. The visit included normal SCI procedures of checking to see what the merchant mariners needed, selling phone cards, chatting with them about their travels, and dropping off Christmas presents for them to open a few weeks down the road.
The Seamen's Church Institute is an around-the-clock operation with overnight ship visitors and daily visitors seven days a week to serve the crews that arrive at any hour.
https://vimeo.com/114165604]
Johnston, a recent college graduate, usually visits two to three ships a week. She is participating in a year-long program called Servant Year and was partnered with the Seamen's Church Institute.
The Rickmers Seoul had 26 crew members when it docked in Philadelphia and was picking up more for its next voyage. Most workers were from the Philippines, but there were also a few Russians making the journey as well.
"You try to listen to their needs and give them space to talk about whether or not there are things going wrong or anything they want to talk about. A lot of times, they just need a new face on board because they're stuck with the same small group of people for a long time," Johnston said. "They see the Seamen's sign on our van and they are so happy to see us."
If the seafarers have the correct paperwork, Johnston or other SCI members can take them off board to go shopping at Walmart for things they need, go sightseeing or go to church.
One man walked up to Johnston and asked, "When can we get off the ship?" After looking through her notes for a minute she said, "I'm sorry but your contractor didn't pay for your crew to have access to land." The merchant mariner walked away looking disappointed.
"I've had one guy say to me, 'I've been all over the world, but all I've seen is the inside of a Walmart,'" Johnston said. "So a lot of the time, they just want to see something [besides] another Walmart."
Although the international language of the sea is English, many of the seafarers that come to Philadelphia do not speak it.
"We can always write things down or ask someone else on the ship that knows better English," Johnson said.
SCI development associate Ronnie Barlow organizes fundraisers, assists with the free clothing bank for seafarers, gathers the Christmas goody bags each year, and communicates with other churches for donations.
"We usually only collect clothing for men since maybe only 2 percent of seafarers that come through are women," said Barlow.
The main SCI center in Philadelphia holds most of the donations, but there's a smaller center in Camden, New Jersey, where they have some of their extra supplies.
"The Camden center is more for convenience for the guys who dock over on the Jersey side," Barlow said.
Barlow helps plan three fundraising fairs a year, with the next one being held in late February or early March. Their recent fundraising gala was held at the Camden Aquarium in early November.
These fundraisers are where Seamen's Church Institute gets its financial support from year to year. They have their Spirit of the Port Award Luncheon, the Fall Gala, and the S.H.I.P. Invitational Gold Tournament in Delaware that is usually highly attended.
Barlow and the others are always looking for donations for the men that dock in this city. She recently completed the Christmas bags that they begin to hand out every year on Dec. 1. This year's bags include gloves, a hat, a scarf, Sudoku puzzles, shaving cream, a toothbrush and other hygienic items.
As the bags were handed out on the Rickmers Seoul, the men looked in curiosity with smiles on their faces. Unfortunately, they cannot open these items until Christmas morning.

Francesco Fontani (23 May 1748 – 4 December 1818) was a Florentine scholar, priest, historian, and librarian for the Biblioteca Riccardiana.

He was born in Florence, and studied first in the Seminary of the Collegio Eugeniano, then went on to teach rhetoric in the Collegio Bandinelli of Rome. He was known for his knowledge about ancient artifacts. In 1783, returning to Florence, he was appointed to the position previously held by Giovanni Lami, as librarian at Riccardiana, but also working for the Accademia della Crusca, and serving as parish priest for the church of Santa Lucia dei Magnoli. He appears to have been demoted for participating with revolutionary French forces during the Napoleonic occupation.

He helped publish Il viaggio pittorico della Toscana, a travel journey through Tuscany known for its vedute of the skylines of numerous towns at the start of the 19th-century. The book was published between 1801-1803 by Tipi del Tofani and engraved by the brothers Terreni. Reprinted after 1817 by Giovanni Marenigh.

Home/Utah/Runnin' Utes vs. Oregon State Beavers
Runnin' Utes vs. Oregon State Beavers
(Photo: USA TODAY Sports)
Editor's note: This piece was written by Andrew Crowley (@RunninHoops)
The Runnin' Utes start the back half of their league schedule with a familiar opponent — a team they played against just five games ago, Oregon St. The Utes take on Oregon State on Thursday, January 2 at 9pm MT which will air on Pac-12 Networks.
Since meeting in Salt Lake on Jan. 5, both teams have lost more than they have won, with Utah winning 2-3 and Oregon St. 1-4. However, both teams will go into this game with a win.
Oregon St. is 8-12 on the season and 2-7 in the Pac-12 game. They are 198 in KenPom and 213 in NET making this a Quad 3 game for those who count at home.
The last game
When the two teams last met, the Runnin' Utes led wire to wire en route to a 79-60 win. It was an even performance for the Runnin' Utes with four players scoring in double figures. As so often this season, Branden Carlson led Utah with 27 points and 11 rebounds.
Oregon St. was led in the game by freshman Tyler Bilodeau, who scored 11 points in just 16 minutes of play, and Rodrigue Andella became the only other player in double figures to add 10 points from the bench.
Despite not being a great three-point shooting team to go into the game, Oregon St. shot 40% from beyond the arc, allowing them to stay close in the first half and widen the gap to 2 in the second half to close the runnin' utes put them away forever.
In the five games since losing to the Runnin' Utes, Oregon St. has had a different top scorer in each competition.
Freshman Jordan Pope is coming off his second-best win of the season, scoring 19 points and dishing out 4 assists against Cal in a win on the road, which helped him win Pac-12 Freshman of the Week honors for the second time this season.
Classmate Tyler Bilodeau had a season- and career-high 18 points in a loss to Arizona a few weeks ago. He's also seen his minutes steadily increase, which means Wayne Tinkle and the Oregon St. coaching staff are starting to trust him.
Sophomore Glenn Taylor Jr. continues to have a solid season for the Beavers, averaging 11.6 PPG and shooting 45% from field and 40% from off the arc.
High ranking big man Rodrigue Andella is likely to be tasked with stopping Branden Carlson. Andella is 6'8, 250 and will do anything to push BC off the block.
San Francisco transfer Dzmitry Ryuny continues to lead the Beavers in rebounding with 4.8 boards per contest and also leads them in steals and blocks.
Through the numbers
Oregon St. currently averages 63.8 PPG offensively and gives up 66.8 PPG on defense. In contrast, the Runnin' Utes are the nation's top 30 in goal defenses, posting 77 and 86 home stands against the Washington Schools.
There's just a 10 rebounds-per-game difference between these two teams, and while that may not seem like a lot, it's a ravine in the national rankings with Utah at 10 and Oregon St. at 334.
The Beavers have improved their three-point shooting since these two teams last game, up from about 31% to 34%.
While Utah has struggled lately with opponents averaging double-digit offensive rebounds against them, Oregon St. hasn't been a team good at ripping down offensive boards (only about 7 per game) this season. Even with a 20-point win at Cal, they only had 6.
The Beavers continue to be a good FT shooting team, averaging 74% from the line, good for 77th in the country.
What the metric people say
KenPom gives Utah a 75% chance of leaving Corvallis with a win and forecasts it 68-60 for the Runnin' Utes.
Haslametrics sees this as a 68-61 win for Runnin' Utes.
The ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Utah a 79.2% chance of winning.
The line in this game is: Utah -7.5
key to victory
The Runnin' Utes have lost their last four games at the Gill Coliseum by an average of 15 points per game, and Oregon St. has played well at home (beat Washington, lost to ASU by 5 points).
After a few poor performances in LA, the Runnin' Utes circled the wagons in practice and ran more set plays on offense. There is a clear recipe for the success of this team and that is especially important on the road. If they follow the formula on Thursday night, they should win. So what is the formula and how do they win in Gil?
BC early and often – At this point in the season, Branden Carlson has established himself as the clear "head of the snake" for the Runnin' Utes and as such will be the focal point of defense. Nevertheless, the offensive still has to go through him. He should be in control of most if not all offensive possessions.
Guard the three – The Runnin' Utes continue to be an elite defense team at the three-point line, but Oregon St. is coming off a win where they shot 54% from beyond the arc. Utah can't let her go of the three.
No hero ball – This one will be important early on. Don't let this game get you down by dribbling around, ignoring open teammates, and taking bad/contested shots late in the clock.
Move without the ball – It's a lot easier to find a guy clipping on the basket when he's actually clipping on the basket. The Runnin' Utes often get into trouble when they stand around and aren't…ready for it? walking around
Rollie on the street – People are starting to notice that Rollie Worster is a different player home and away. In order for the Runnin' Utes to keep the momentum going in Corvallis, Rollie needs to bring some of that home magic to the streets. Ideally, that means attacking the rim, driving and dishing, hitting high percentage shots, and making winning plays. Rollie is the straw that stirs the drink. (So does Gabe Madsen, by the way, he needs to take some of his good shooting from the last few games back to Oregon).
Appreciate the basketball – In the last few games, the Runnin' Utes have done a much better job tending to the basketball. Against a team like Oregon St., who will be opportunistic to force turnovers and create empty possessions, sticking with basketball will be crucial.
As conference play began, I noticed that there were four non-negotiable games that the Runnin' Utes had to win in order to be considered for the NCAA tournament. While they currently don't have enough gains to get them "in", they don't have losses to take them "out" either.

Hi, everyone. I have a 2014 Honda CNG. I just checked the mileage and I'm only getting 150 miles to the tank. I also can only fill five gallons. It's very strange. Everyone I encounter says they can only fill five gallons at a time. Why does it only take five gallons?
Also what kind of spark plugs does everyone use??
That is normal. " Range" . I bet your " Mileage" is around 30. In close to 200k miles on my '01 GX and '08 gx , most station fills were about 5.5 gallons equivalent. The most I ever got was 7.2, and that was a tow in to the station after running out. If you search the Honda Civic Sub Forum, you can find dozens of threads on exactly why.
PS it is a very good idea to remove and reinstall the plugs every 2 yrs / 25k miles so they don't seize up in the head.Use a torque wrench. Inspect the coilpacks for fine cracks and arc marks at the same time The OEM plugs should last over 100k Miles. Have intake valves adjusted every 30-50 k miles.

History of Japan's Hansen's disease policy
The Japanese government promoted the forced isolation of leprosy patients under a 1953 leprosy prevention law. Leprosy is also known as Hansen's disease.
Soon after, it became known that the disease was not particularly contagious and effective treatments had been established. But the government continued with the forced segregation until 1996, when the law was finally repealed.
That led many former patients to file lawsuits demanding compensation, arguing that the government's forced isolation was wrong and violated their human rights.
In May 2001, Kumamoto District Court sided with the patients and ordered the government to pay compensation.
The court ruled that the government continued to forcibly isolate patients even after it became unnecessary, thus encouraging discrimination and prejudice against them.
Later in 2001, the government and parliament admitted their responsibility for the continued isolation and apologized for the former patients' suffering. Parliament also passed legislation to compensate former patients.
But the government did not offer compensation to the families of leprosy patients, who argued that they had also suffered under the government's policy.
In 2016, 561 family members of leprosy patients filed a lawsuit with Kumamoto District Court seeking damages.
They argued that they had suffered discrimination and their family ties were destroyed because of the policy.
On June 28 this year, the court upheld the plaintiffs' argument and ordered the government to pay compensation worth about 3.5 million dollars.
It said the families suffered serious damage, such as the loss of opportunities to get married or find work.
It was the first time for a Japanese court to recognize the government's responsibility for the suffering inflicted on the families of leprosy patients.
Attention turned to whether or not the government would appeal the ruling.

Scientists have been working for years to develop a safe and effective type of Vitamin C for sensitive skin and intolerant skin, because the skin benefits of Vitamin C are well documented. It offers incredibly powerful antioxidant protection, boosts healthy new collagen growth, hydrates and smoothens the skin while brightening and toning it too.
But, not everyone's skin tolerates Vitamin C.
See, in its natural state, Vitamin C is water-soluble, meaning it is repelled by the lipids in the skin barrier, so the skin battles to absorb it properly. That means you'd have to take it orally, spreading throughout the entire body (where it boosts health generally). But you'd rather just have the Vitamin C targeted to deliver its skin-boosting benefits straight to a specific part of the skin, right?.That's when the more acidic forms of this vitamin came in.
One way around the absorption problem was creating a type of Vitamin C that could be applied topically, ascorbic acid. But this was very problematic for sensitive skin.
Ascorbic acid could be absorbed by the skin. And, in fact, ascorbic acid today remains the first-choice Vitamin C treatment for skins that can tolerate it. But ascorbic acid is only do absorbed in an environment with a pH of 4 or below, which is very acidic.
This acidity is a big problem for many people's skins. That's why there are so many of us who complain that we cannot use ascorbic acid-rich creams and treatments. The products quite literally burn and irritate some people's skins, seemingly causing more damage to the skin barrier than doing good.
In the past, the doctor or therapist would have to gradually acclimatise your skin to the ascorbic acid, which could take days or even weeks of expensive professional treatments.
But Lamelle Research Laboratories have developed a new form of Vitamin C for sensitive skin, one that's specifically designed and proven to safely and with near-comparable-effectiveness deliver high-concentration Vitamin C to even the most intolerant of skins.
Using a new, advanced form of Vitamin C that's specifically created to be absorbed under normal skin pH conditions, Lamelle has created Correctives Vita-C Lipid Serum to deliver the skin-health benefits of Vitamin C to even the most sensitive skins.
With Lamelle Corrective Vita-C Lipid Serum, you get the optimum concentration of Vitamin C (it's calculated that Vitamin C is absorbed optimally at a concentration of 20%) delivered straight to the desired area, topically, safely and effectively. It's soothing, doesn't cause irritation and there's no need to acclimatise the skin beforehand. Correctives Vita-C Lipid Serum works safely from the very first application.
It truly is Vitamin C for sensitive skin.
And it's enhanced with nourishing Jojoba and Ginger Root extract, making it a soothing, safe and comfortable Vitamin C treatment you can apply at home.
Scavenges and neutralises free radicals and oxidants, protecting cell membranes and improving the skin's resistance to UV and sun exposure.
Boosts fibroblast function to promote new collagen growth and inhibit wrinkle formation and photoageing, while supporting the skin barrier by soothing inflammation and promoting better skin healing.
Optimises differentiation in keratinocytes and barrier lipids in the outer layer of the epidermis, strengthening the skin barrier and improving skin texture for smoother skin.
Enhances the production of barrier lipids to assist in the formation and health of the stratum corneum, increasing the skin's ability to retain moisture.
Inhibits the formation of melanin to brighten highly pigmented skin while simultaneously stabilising melanin production in skin that's deficient of melanin. The result is both brightening and enhancing skin tone and glow.
