The company's Natural Killer (NK) cell program utilizes Nohla's cell therapy platform technology. Through the use of the company's proprietary engineered Notch ligand, this platform technology promotes the self-renewal or directed differentiation of cord blood stem and progenitor cells by modulating the Notch signaling pathway. Here, the Notch signaling pathway is leveraged to maximize production of NK cells which can be generated ex vivo, resulting in significant numbers of NK cells that can be cryopreserved and stored in multiple doses as a potential off-the-shelf universal cell therapy. The company has demonstrated the ability of these NK cells to kill cancerous cells both in vitro and in mouse models. The company has also demonstrated the feasibility of genetically modifying these cells to express chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) without negatively impacting the growth process and cell yield. The company is in the process of exploring multiple potential candidates for advancement to preclinical development as oncology therapeutics.
Nohla is also developing an enhanced cell growth platform for Hematopoietic Stem Cells, or HSCs, based on the two-dimensional methods used to manufacture dilanubicel for clinical development. This enhanced ex vivo expansion platform will focus on the use of a novel three-dimensional technology that could result in a significant improvement in maintenance of primitive HSCs without differentiation during the expansion phase. Once optimized, the company envisions a powerful technology to be used for the expansion of genetically modified cells, which may lead to increased efficacy and reduced costs for gene therapy-based products.
Dilanubicel (NLA101) is a universal donor, off-the-shelf, ex vivo expanded hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell product that does not require tissue matching. It can be manufactured ahead of time, cryopreserved, and made available for immediate use.
It has been evaluated in two Phase 2 clinical trials for patients undergoing a cord blood transplant and patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy. Nohla is further analyzing results from an interim analysis in AML patients and is currently seeking companies interested in in-licensing the program.

James Corden Won't Talk About Restaurant Ban: 'It's Beneath All Of Us, Haven't Done Anything Wrong'
James Corden isn't interested in speaking about that restaurant drama that emerged on social media this week.
Keith McNally recently announced on Instagram that he was banning Corden from his French brasserie restaurant Balthazar in New York City, before later admitting the "Late Late Show" host had apologized and all had been forgiven.
James Corden 'Apologized Profusely' After Being Banned From NYC Restaurant For Being 'The Most Abusive Customer' To The Servers
The whole thing blew up on social media at the time, and Corden was asked about it while promoting his new TV series "Mammals" in an interview with the New York Times.
Corden insisted, "I haven't done anything wrong, on any level. So why would I ever cancel this? I was there. I get it. I feel so Zen about the whole thing.
"Because I think it's so silly. I just think it's beneath all of us. It's beneath you. It's certainly beneath your publication."

During the chat, the British star also pointed out that there was someone complaining about their meal right then and there, telling the reporter: "Happens every day. It's happening in 55,000 restaurants as we speak. It's always about eggs."
He added, "Can you imagine now, if we just blasted her on Twitter? Would that be fair? This is my point. It's insane."
McNally posted earlier this week:

Q: Is it ok to static_cast a void* pointer For example, propose map<int,void*>hold where void* is always storing pointers from classA is it safe to cast it back later via static_cast?
classA* ptr = static_cast<classA*>( holditerator->second );

the reason void* is used is because hold is member of a class defined on a header used by some cpp files which don't know what classA is. I would have to include the header of classA definitions on these cpp files which can't be done by many reasons.

A: As Johannes explained, the static_cast is ok. Another technique to prevent the dependencies to ClassA in the cpp files is to use the pimpl idiom.
// in header file
class classB {
public:
    classB();
    ~classB();
private:
    class impl;
    unique_ptr<impl> pimpl;
};

// in implementation file
#include "classA.hpp"

class classB::impl
{
    std::map<int, classA> hold;  // hidden in implementation file
};

classB::classB() : pimpl{ new impl{ /*...*/ } } { }
classB::~classB() { }

A: Writing void* in the header just because the users of the map should not know about the actual type is not a good idea, as you lose type safety everywhere in your code, including at places which do know about ClassA.
Consider

*

*deriving ClassA from an class which every part of your code may know about,

*wrapping the map into an object which provides an interface to those parts of the code that have to deal with the map, but not with ClassA,

*declaring, but not defining class ClassA in your header file (may be dangerous if objects are destroyed at some place where ClassA is declared, but not defined),

*using templates,

*implementing the class containing the map as a derived subclass, such that the map field can be put into the derived subclass.

Point 5: Illustration (= template pattern)
Instead of
class Containing {
    private:
       map<int,void*> myMap;
    public:
       void somePublicFunction () { // ...implementation }
};

you write
// Containing.h
class Containing {
   protected:
       virtual void doSomething () = 0;
   public:
       static Containing* Create ();
       void somePublicFunction () { doSomething (); }
       virtual ~Containing () { }
};

// Containing.cc
#include ContainingImplementation.h
Containing* Containing::Create () { return new ContainingImplementation; }

// ContainingImplementation.h / cc
class ContainingImplementation : public Containing {
   protected:
      virtual void doSomething () { // ... }
   private:
      map<int,ClassA*> myMap;
   public:
      virtual ~ContainingImplementation () { }
};

A: Yes, static_cast is OK in that case and the right thing to use.
I have to ask why you don't store classA* pointers in the first place though. If you want to put derived class pointers into it, then beware, you need to upcast/upconvert (implicitly or explicitly) the derived class pointers to classA* before you put them into the map.
But even if you put also derived class pointers into the map, a base class pointer would suffice because a derived class pointer is implicitly convertible to a base class pointer.

The reason void* is used is because hold is member of a class define on a header used by some cpp files which don't know what classA is.

That can be a valid reason to prevent layering violations.

I would have to include the header of classA definitions on these cpp files which can't be done by many reasons.

That's most probably not necessary in your case. A forward declaration suffices. If the header knows what is put into the map, but just wants to avoid including additional headers, this is the way to go.

Changing rules for building churches (Overview)
The revision of controversial decree regulating building places of worship is completed. Christians react as Muslim leaders express their support.
Under the 1969 joint ministerial decree (SKB No 1/1969), local authorities and residents were required to give consent before any permit could be issued for building a place of worship. However, permits were hard to get and applications by Christians almost always fell on deaf years. Christians were more often than not forced to worship in a legal no man's land.
Last year, after Muslim extremists in West Java province forced Christians to shut down some house churches, the government was forced to review existing legislation. According to West Java Christian Communication Forum, 35 churches were closed by the hard-line groups in 2005.
The new version was adopted after consultations involving religious leaders from various communities as well as government and national security officials. Under the revised rules, the existing basic principles are maintained but specific rules for granting permits must be followed.
- Permits must be issued by local government upon consultation with the Communication Forums for Religious Harmony (that include representative from the various religious communities) and the local branch of the Religious Affairs Ministry. The forum will vet applications and advise local authorities on granting permits.
- A congregation of at least 100 members must exist before application for a new place of worship can be made and any application must be approved by at least 70 local residents from other faith communities. The Indonesian Communion of Churches countered with a proposal that would set the limit at 60 members and 40 residents.
- The Interior Ministry announced that applications should be approved within 7 to 30 days and building permits granted within 6 months.
During the discussions leading up to the new decree, some called for the abolition of the law altogether proposing in its place a law on religious freedom.
Now the revised decree must wait for President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's approval before it can become law.

Meghan Markle's sister compares her to Donald Trump Just this week, Meghan's sister Samantha took to Twitter to coin a nasty schoolyard nickname for her and attack her yet again. As you know, the Duchess recently flew coach to spend time with her designer bestie Jessica Mulroney in Toronto.
In Australia found a unique gold nuggets An underground mine in WA's Goldfields has produced what is believed to be two of the biggest gold specimens in recorded history . The largest gold nugget was discovered 500 meters below the surface in an area just three meters wide and three meters high.
Upon its arrival, the National Hurricane Center projects that Florence could drop anywhere from 20-40 inches of rain along the Carolina coast.
"It truly is really about the whole size of this storm", National Hurricane Center Director Ken Graham said. Emergency declarations were in force in Georgia, South and North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia.
Delta Air Lines added 1,200 seats as of Wednesday evening via extra flights and upsized aircraft in the storm's path to get people out of the area before Florence hits.
The first large power outage in the Wilmington area also occurred Thursday morning, with the Duke outage map showing almost 1,400 customers in the Acme-Delco area of Columbus County and northwest Brunswick County without power.
People in areas vulnerable to a risky hurricane have left or are fleeing ahead of the storm's expected Friday or Saturday landfall.
"There is still time to leave", North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper told "CBS This Morning" on Thursday.
The storm will be a test of President Donald Trump's administration less than two months before elections to determine control of Congress.
Hurricane Florence's heavy rains and tropical storm-force winds reached North Carolina's Outer Banks on Thursday morning, leading the way for a storm packing 105-mph winds.
"People don't have to work the next day because of the hurricane".
Body surfer Andrew Vanotteren, of Savannah, Georgia, crashes into waves from Hurricane Florence, Wednesday, September 12, 2018, on the south beach of Tybee Island, Georgia. "It's an extremely risky, life-threatening, historic hurricane".
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) issued a storm surge warning for the South Santee River in SC to Duck River in North Carolina, all the way up to the North Carolina-Virginia border. Then it is likely to hover along the coast Saturday, pushing up to 13 feet (nearly 4 meters) of storm surge and unloading water on both states.
Despite the fact that the hurricane has been downgraded to Category 2, the 80 miles per hour winds and coastal flooding will still cause significant damage throughout the southeast. Even though it has weakened, it still carries the high risk of torrential rains and catastrophic flooding. Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands face possible isolated amounts of 3 inches.
At 8 a.m. EDT (1200 UTC), the center of the eye of Hurricane Florence was located by an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft and NOAA Doppler weather radars to be near latitude 33.1 degrees north and longitude 75.1 degrees west. It caused 117 fatalities and cost the US $17 billion.


The first time I came through Summerville, on a mission to see Paradise Garden, it was lunchtime and I stopped at this place. It was packed to the rafters and like a step back in time. None of the interior has been updated since it was built, likely in 1965 when the business was established, but the place was warm and welcoming. And I loved their pepper-based sauce. A jar was purchased and guarded until the last drop was used. I wish I'd bought a dozen jars, because it was closed when I passed through a few weeks ago. And judging by comments online, it's a real roll of the dice to find it open. Locals obviously love the place, too. I don't know anything about their hours or why they're so rarely open, but I do know that they have some of the best barbecue sauce I've ever eaten. If you're lucky enough to be in Summerville when they're open, make sure to stop by.
For the unfamiliar, Paradise Garden is the life's work of the late Reverend Howard Finster (2 December 1915 or 1916-22 October 2001). A man of strong religious faith, Finster was a tireless folk artist who used his boundless energy and talent to spread the word of God in every available medium. The folk art chapel (above), as well as much of the garden itself, is presently being restored after going back to nature in the time since his passing. His own words sum up his mission and are often used to describe his philosophy of reusing, recycling and casting nothing of value aside: "I took the pieces you threw away-put them together by night & day-washed by rain and dried by sun, a million pieces all in one!" As a matter of fact, Finster created over 40,000 pieces of art in his lifetime.
Howard Finster rose to national prominence and widespread fame in the 1980s thanks to his work being featured on album covers by the Talking Heads, R.E.M., and many others. R.E.M. even shot much of their video for "Radio Free Europe" at the garden and featured a cameo of Howard. During this time Reverend Finster was also a guest on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson which helped cement his national reputation.
Visiting Paradise Garden for the first time was a life-changing experience for me. The people of Chattooga County are understandably proud to call Howard one of their own and in all my travels around Georgia, they are some of the nicest people I've ever met. The next three images highlight the Rolling Chair Ramp Gallery, where work from fans and admirers, as well as ephemera and memorabilia from Howard's life are displayed. He built this structure mainly to share his message with those who were unable to walk around the garden.
The Coca-Cola Bottle House (below) was used as a pump house.
Howard let nothing go to waste, not even the waste basket.
This giant cement shoe is one of my favorite items in the garden.
Enjoy the next few photographs and get an idea of this visionary's world. Of course, the only way to really appreciate it is to make the journey to Summerville yourself. You won't regret it!
The mirror house (below) is being restored.
The tour is entirely self-guided, unless you ask for a guide, and you are guaranteed to get lost in the whimsy of this place. Consider that a good thing.

To learn more about Howard, simply search his name on YouTube for lots of interviews, &c.
The corner building was originally known as the Arrington Drug Company and was later occupied by the Jackson Drug Company. A historic hardware store is located beside it.

Street Construction
During the years following the incorporation of Elma, on March 22, 1888, the town trustees spent considerable time establishing assessment rolls for the improvements of Elma's streets.
In recent years, thanks to the efforts of Public Works Director Jim Starks and the City's consulting engineers at Gibbs and Olson, the city has received millions of dollars in grant funding used to reconstruct Main St and the Young Street Viaduct.
Main Street, which runs through the center of Elma, has been completely reconstructed in recent years. Downtown Elma is now equipped we decorative street lights, benches, bicycle racks, and trash containers.
Young Street Viaduct
The Young Street viaduct, orginially constructed in early 1900s, was replaced in 2002 with a very attractive structure that conforms to modern engineering standards for eathquake resistance.
Wastewater Collection and Treatment
The City of Elma is served by a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant, which began operation in the Fall of 2002. The treatment plant is designed to serve a population of 5,000 and has been designed so that it can easily be expanded. The new treatment facility not only provides for greater capacity than did the City's previous facility, but it also discharges a much higher quality of effluent to the Chehalis River and utilizes ultraviolet lights to disinfect the final effluent, eliminating the need for the use and storage of dangerous chlorine gas.
Andrew Baskett, the City's treatment plant operator and Public Works Director Jim Starks take great pride in ensuring the high quality of the effluent discharged to the river and in the appearance and operation of the City's treatment facility.
The City of Elma is fortunate to be located over a large aquifer the provides an abundant supply of good quality drinking water. The City's water distribution system is supplied by two primary wells which pump into three different water tanks that provide storage for periods of higher consumption and also enhance the delivery pressure to various areas of the distribution system.

It's Author Interview Thursday! Are you ready? Yes…then let's dive right into it. Our featured author in the hot seat today is someone I met on the social networks. I believe I first connected with him on Facebook, then we connected on Twitter and most recently on GoodReads. His generosity and willingness to help his fellow authors is something I believe everyone who has come in contact with him will testify about. He's served in the US Air Force and has so many stories to tell. Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming Paul R. Hewlett.
I am forty-two, live in Illinois, USA, and am a salesman by day. I live with my wife and adopted "senior" dog Jojo. I served four years in the US Air Force and have just recently returned to school to finish the Bachelor's degree I never completed when I enlisted. My path to becoming a children's author isn't terribly interesting. I tend to have an active imagination. I love to people watch. There is always a character in a story waiting to be discovered out there. I loved books like The Three Investigators, when I was growing up. I wanted to take all the ideas I had and write something along those lines; books that boys, even reluctant reader types, will enjoy. The funny thing is, no matter what I try to write it always seems to end up being a children's type book. I tried several times to write a true middle grade book and guess what? It didn't work. I turned out to be more of a beginning chapter book writer, so I guess it was meant to be.
What can a reader expect when they pick up a Paul R. Hewlett book?
I think they can expect to be entertained and if they're not careful, learn something too. Lionel is a loveable character. He's a bit overweight, nonathletic, and short, but he doesn't let that get him down. There is some magic, humor, fun, and plenty of high jinks to entertain.
What inspired you to write the Lionel's Adventure series and are there any more books to come in the series?
I loved characters like Encyclopedia Brown and Beetle Bailey growing up and really connected with these characters. I set the book in the mid to late '60's and that's because I love the simpler time. By that I mean no smart phones, computers, etc. I moved to a very small, rural town going into the 5th grade and a lot of things you see in the book were in that town. All these factors combined with a desire to get children to read led me to write Lionel's Grand Adventure. I know I mainly read comic books (Beetle Bailey, Archie, and Sad Sack) growing up and my parents worried that I didn't read enough. Funny they didn't consider comic books reading, but that's a different topic. Encyclopedia Brown turned me on to reading. Now I can't go a day without reading. I hope Lionel's Grand Adventure will have the same effect on kids that Encyclopedia Brown had on me. There are more to come. There is a Christmas book (Lionel's Christmas Adventure) as well as two more that I am working on. In one, Lionel goes to summer camp, and the other he takes a field trip.
Enjoyable characters, humor and action. These characteristics, in my opinion, gain and keep my attention every time.
Most indie authors who exclusively sell their books via Amazon will testify to a significant change in the 'post free promo bounce' their books once enjoyed. How are you adjusting to this change to ensure your books reach as my people as possible?
I have gone the free promo route and have had some decent success, but the one thing I have noticed is that it doesn't last. I personally have been unable to sustain the sales that free promos help generate, and that has led me to take a different approach. I have focused on reaching my target audience; children, parents, teachers, librarians, etc. The main adjustment I have made is to research bloggers and contacts that are in my target audience and to query them and/or connect with them. This is a slow, tedious process, but one that I feel will build a readership and following that is actually interested in my books, not the price.
Writing. I know that sounds funny, but whether it's author interviews, which you were kind enough to do, guest posts, or just writing more books, writing is what seems to be the best marketing tool for me. The more you write, the more people get to know you, and hopefully want to know more about you. I've tried free promos, paid ads, etc. and while they have had varying degrees of success, I believe that the path to real success is through writing, gaining exposure, and developing your craft.
My favorite childhood books were Encyclopedia Brown and The Three Investigators. I loved the detective aspect of them. The characters were ones that I could really relate to, and being a young boy, I loved their headquarters and all the neat adventures they seemed to get involved in. In case you didn't know it, The Three Investigators' HQ was in Jupiter Jones' uncles junkyard, accessed through several secret entrances. How cool is that?
Publishing too soon. I thought I was ready, and I was wrong. Do your homework, research things. I ended up rewriting Lionel and the Golden Rule multiple times. I have just finally gotten it the way I think it should be. I unpublished a Lionel book (the one where he goes to camp) because, quite frankly, it wasn't good enough. Find great critique partners, a professional editor, formatter, illustrator/designer, and the list goes on. The thing is, it doesn't have to be terribly expensive either. The author community is great. I have made so many great friends that offer advice, are willing to help, you name it. If you do your research you can find some great editors that don't cost a fortune. Same thing with illustrators. The great thing about the changes in the publishing industry is that everyone has adapted. It doesn't have to cost you your life savings to have your book edited or paperbacks printed anymore. You just need to take your time.
Great question; I'm not sure that I ever have rewarded myself. Well, I take that back. Once a book is done and I mean really done, I frame the cover image and hang it on my office wall.

What is a typical day for Paul R. Hewlett?
Right now it is crazy. I work full time as a salesman so I get up and run my sales route all day. Then I do my homework since I have recently returned to college. I'm taking two classes this semester so it's pretty busy. Then I try to write for at least 30 minutes to an hour. When all that is done I sit down and watch a TV show we DVR'd with my wife and then off to bed. In between, I take my dog on two walks a day and work out 3 times a week to keep my shoulders strong. I had two shoulder surgeries in 2012. I tore the rotator cuffs in both shoulders and it has been a long, hard road back so I have to keep up my strength training. The next day I wake up and do it all over again.
Can you tell us about an unforgettable experience you had while in the Air Force and something most people don't know about the Air Force?
My most unforgettable experience in the Air Force was getting a ride in an F-15. I won an award and that was the reward. Now keep in mind that I can't do roller coasters and I really don't even like swings as my stomach drops too much. I had to take a flight physical that only lasted for 48 hours prior to flying. I did that and then when it was time for survival training (learning how to use a parachute basically) the next day, I chickened out. I made up some lame excuse which I can't even remember now. I was scared to death. The pilot must have heard my excuse before because he called me about fifteen minutes after I hung up and explained to me that mechanics that spend twenty plus years in the Air Force working on F-15s most times don't get a ride in one, and I would be missing the opportunity of a lifetime. I relented and proceeded to go on the flight. It was awesome, although I did get sick (multiple times). We simulated aerial combat and in doing so I was subjected to over eight G (gravitational)-force. I would even do it again. Something that most people don't know about the Air Force is that many days it is just like a regular job. You get up, go to work, go home, and live a regular life like a civilian.
What can we expect from Paul R. Hewlett in the next 12 months?
You can expect a book tour for Lionel and the Golden Rule. I will keep on blogging over at Sher A. Hart: Written Art where I co-author a children's/YA blog, and the release of Lionel Goes to Camp. It should be a productive and exciting year.
They can head over to the Lionel's Grand Adventure Facebook page for updates and fun posts. Sher A. Hart: Written Art is a children's/YA blog that I co-author. You can find me over there blogging about all kinds of things. I'd also love it if you connected with on Twitter at @lionelsnod.
Nothing too prophetic or profound; just remember that you've only failed if you've given up. If you love writing, keep doing it.
What a great way to end the interview. Thanks for spending time with us today Paul. I found it very interesting what you said about your best marketing method being writing. I believe that is so fundamental to the success of any author. Sometimes, I feel really proud looking at the first book I ever published, not because it was ground-breaking or the recipient of numerous awards but for the simple fact that I can see how I've grown as a writer since then. You really have to check out Paul's blog as it's a beehive of activity and you can sign up to his mailing list and get an autographed copy of one of his books while there. Simply click the link below.
Very interesting interview, Paul. And, I agree with you … keep on writing!
Loved Paul's take to the publishing game and his emphasis on the importance of improving our craft.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I appreciate the well wishes. Have a great day!
Great interview Paul, Lionel looks so cute! I just want to give him a hug, tussle his hair and hand him a plate of spaghetti. I love your advice to authors, and btw I enjoyed Beetle Bailey too!
Thanks for stopping by & sharing. I loved Beetle Bailey, in fact, I still read him in the daily paper. Thanks for the kind words about Lionel, and he loves spaghetti!
Thanks so much for having me David! I really appreciate the interview and the post looks just wonderful.
It was great having you and it'll be great to have you back when the next book is released. All the best.
Thanks for the kind words and for stopping by. I'm excited to do a blog tour, but I'm not quite sure when I'll be ready. I hope all is well your way!
I love your books Paul and this is a great interview.
What you say about failing only if you give up is very true!
Thanks so much for the kind words. David did a great job with the interview and I am so grateful. How are things with you? Are you settling back in after a summer of travel? I appreciate you stopping by.

Is it possible to learn EFT since the retirement of Gary Craig?
I understand your heartfelt concern about this. I am assuming you mean to learn EFT as a practitioner.
Right now, Gary's EFT practitioner courses are not available to those who have not purchased the DVD's. The DVD's are sold out and as far as we know, the web site is closing.
Given all this however, I am pretty certain that Gary will be turning his business over in some form or another to other EFT providers. The http://www.emofree.com site in itself is a very valuable resource and I cannot see this being completely left for use by a non-EFT related provider.
Also, I am certain that the DVD's will become commercially available again. They are themselves a very valuable resource. They may not remain as cheap as they once were, but they will likely become available with time.
I am just guessing about this, of course. However, be patient. There is a lot you can learn from the Free EFT manual, still available from the site. The FAQS and other resources are very useful, still and are available for study and for tapping along.
If you complete the personal peace procedure for yourself, and if you start by keeping records of all of your EFT work, you will still have a lot to do and learn before this is resolved.
In the meantime, you can practice practice practice and learn from the instruction given on the EFT forum, which is still open for now. There are other forums opening up all the time and if you find a moderator or EFT provider that you like, you can join or sign up for a newsletter and keep in the EFT loop.
A lot of this is still up to you. Just keep practicing and I am pretty sure that every thing will work out again.


The self-help industry is flooded with information on how to create goals, but without creating good habits goal setting is completely useless! Think about the last time you made a goal. Whether that goal was to lose 10 pounds before summer, or to make a healthy lifestyle change like picking up a new sport. Those goals, even when they are written down, are just that: goals! What does it take to achieve them? The answer to that question is by creating good habits.
Randy Gage believes that habits are created by making a conscious decision to commit to something every single day. He believes that making goals is an important step in the process, but without good habits those goals have hope of actually becoming reality. This video is packed with golden nuggets, so be sure to check it out below!

Pride of workmanship, part 1
4 June 2007 Jim Greybroadcasting, Personal, radio, Rose-Hulman, Terre Haute Indiana, WBOW, WMHD 4 Comments
Quality guru W. Edwards Deming, who helped transform Japan into an industrial powerhouse, claimed that workers who feel pride in the quality of their work are critical to a company's success. Pride in my work is certainly critical to my satisfaction on the job, right along with being challenged and enjoying the environment. When I have those three elements, I love my job.
I am fortunate to have lived one of my dreams. Ever since I was a boy, I wanted to be the voice coming out of the radio, and in college I got my chance at WMHD, the campus station. Not only did I get to talk, but I also got to play whatever music I wanted. It was a lot of fun. I figured out how to match key and tempo to make one song flow well into the next. We had few CDs, which were new then. So I learned to slipcue and crossfade vinyl on our two classic Technics SL-1200 Mk2 turntables, which let me then create coherent mosaics of music across a two-hour shift. I also developed an on-air voice that I thought sounded smooth and professional. My peers at WMHD liked what I did, too, because one year they named me "DJ of the Year." Today, I still listen to tapes I made of some of my WMHD shows, and they always make me feel good.
After I graduated, one day I was out at an event in town and I happened to be wearing an old WMHD T-shirt. Local radio station WBOW was there, promoting the event. WBOW was what they used to call a "full service" station, with news, community events, music from my grandmother's era, and on-air "personalities" to bring it all together in an entertaining way. One of those personalities was at the event that sunny afternoon, a solidly-built man with the darkest red hair I'd ever seen who approached me, introduced himself as Chip, and asked if I worked in radio. I told him about WMHD, and he asked me if I'd be interested in part-time work at his station.
A couple weeks later, I was very excited to be sitting at the controls in WBOW's studio. Chip was there to show me the ropes. He explained the format clock, showed me how to find songs, jingles, sweepers, and spots in the cart library; showed me the liner cards; and said that I needed to backtime to the news at the top of the hour. Clock? Spots? Jingles? Sweepers? Cart? Liner? Backtime? It was a whole new language. Except for opening the mic and talking, WBOW was unlike anything I'd ever done on the radio. I'm not sure at what point my eyes glazed over and I began to worry that I'd gotten in over my head! As Chip figured out how little I knew, he rolled his eyes, sighed, muttered something about how hard it was to find experienced talent in "this nowhere market," and began to teach me about professional radio.
It took me weeks to understand the clock so I could do a smooth break, and months to get good at backtiming the last 15 minutes of every hour so the last thing I played ended just as ABC News started at precisely the top of the hour. Every week, I recorded a cassette of my show — just the parts where I talked, which Chip called a "scoped aircheck" — and Chip and I reviewed it together. As we listened each week, he bluntly challenged me to get better. "Stop saying degrees! The high tomorrow will be 58! Everybody knows that's 58 degrees! And right there, you did that annnd thing again as you moved from one topic to another, like you're connecting cars on a train. Cut it out! I want to hear you go smoothly from the beginning of your break to the end! And you stepped on the vocals on that song! C'mon, time it out, know what you're going to say and how long it will take!" Chip did not pull punches.
I sometimes came by the station during Chip's shifts and watched and listened to how he did things. He thoughtfully prepared for every break, reviewing material he brought in with him that day to talk about. Before he opened the mic, he made sure everything he was going to use — a liner card, maybe a newspaper clipping, and all the spots (commercials) — were ready to go. Then he put his hands on the buttons and knobs he would use during the break and sat quietly under his headphones, listening to the end of the song that was playing. He knew how every song in the library ended, and he would count beats as he opened the mic so he could start talking at just the right moment. He had a subtle sense of timing — he always knew the very moment, a sweet spot in time, to do the next thing, and how to do it in a way that kept the audience's attention. I could see he was doing what he was trying to get me to do, and I started to hear how these little things were the difference between some guy playing music and talking, and a talented pro delivering fresh, vital radio that kept listeners tuned in because they wanted to hear what was next.
As I kept practicing on my weekend shifts, it started to click. I could hear myself getting better on my aircheck tapes. I looked forward to Chip's weekly beatings, as he called them, because I'd always take away something new to work on. I realized I was learning from somebody who knew his stuff, and that such opportunities were rare in markets as small as Terre Haute. (Later, I learned that opportunities to learn from someone who really knows his stuff are rare in life.) When Chip started reviewing my airchecks monthly rather than weekly, I realized with satisfaction that I had achieved basic mastery, and that I was starting to sound like a pro. I felt good about the talent I had built.
Because Chip vigorously coached the whole on-air team, WBOW sounded better than you'd expect in a small town like Terre Haute. We all took pride in how tight we sounded. We could have been more competitive if we could have played more contemporary music, but Chip couldn't convince the station's owner of it. There's a long, lurid story here that I might tell another day, but in short the owner decided he could make as much money by replacing all of us with a satellite programming service. This was the fate of full-service AM radio across the country and today the format no longer survives. Neither did the WBOW air staff. Chip was the first to go, and in disgust I signed off for good. The rest of the staff was laid off in time. The solid on-air work Chip brought out in the entire team, and the high-quality service we provided as a result, was not enough to overcome financial reality. I still struggle with this lesson. But I am still proud to say I was part of WBOW, and I still feel satisfied when I think of my work there.

Ahhh, the man in the "Irish" shirt. Now THAT looks like the guy from the Ice game and the after-game run to Denny's. :-)
Maybe someday you'll get back into the radio scene?

Radio has changed a lot since I was in. I have mixed feelings about going back to it. It's also very competitive in a market like Indy, and having been off the air for 13 years would hurt my chances.

Broadcast radio continues to become less relevant every year IMHO. Sometimes I wonder why I bother but I always seem to run into people who listen to my show every now and then. Now if I had the personality of Jim our ratings would jump from all the listeners. ;)
WMHD was a breeze all right – do whatever you want whenever you want pretty much. We had to backtime at my high school station to some degree. We'd sometimes cheat and just play instrumental tracks that fit our format and fade them out at the news.
6 June 2007 at 8:16 pm	 Reply
I screwed up my backtiming pretty bad a few times at the beginning, and ended up playing an instrumental and fading it out at news time. I'm lucky Chip didn't crucify me!

The freshman guard has been named Ivy League Rookie of the Week four times this season, all coming in the past six weeks.
On Friday and Saturday, the Quakers will host Columbia and Cornell, respectively, at the Palestra. The Red and Blue are currently in fifth place in the Ivy League, tied with Brown.
One day after narrowly topping Dartmouth 82-79 in overtime, Penn lost to Harvard in another overtime game by a 75-68 score.
AJ Brodeur extended his double-digit scoring streak to 17 games as Penn beat Dartmouth 82-79 in a back-and-forth overtime contest.
Northfield Mount Hermon School has produced alumni that have gone on to become diplomats, athletes, and federal judges. Three of them play for Penn men's basketball.
The Red and Blue currently sit in a three-way tie for fifth in the conference standings, along with the Big Green, their first opponent this weekend.
Former Penn men's basketball forward Conor Turley's legacy didn't end with his final game at the Palestra.
Freshman guard Bryce Washington picked up his third straight Ivy Rookie of the Week award after two sizzling back-to-back performances at Brown and Yale this past weekend.
Goodman provided consistent scoring in hostile road environments over the weekend, shooting 64 percent from the field across games at Brown and Yale.
After a back-and-forth first half in which both teams did not shoot well, Yale pulled away from Penn men's basketball in the second half and took the game by a score of 78-65.
In a game that never really seemed close, the Quakers opened up the game on a 13-3 run and never looked back. Here are three takeaways from the win.
To start the game, the Quakers took a 2-0 lead off of junior guard Devon Goodman's fastbreak layup and never looked back, leading for the rest of the game and ultimately taking down the Bears, 92-82.

Who Are Colorado's Next Generation of Farmers?
America's farmers are aging, and Colorado isn't immune from the trend. But the state's next generation of agricultural producers—who are educated, well-intentioned, and focused on sustainability—offers a glimmer of hope for the future.
By Kirsten Dobroth • August 21, 2019
Ben Gillespie isn't like most 28-year-olds who call Colorado home. He lives on a farm owned and leased by his family west of the Continental Divide, where he spends his days tending to more than 200 acres. At the Living Farm, four generations of his family have raised sheep, cows, poultry, and pigs. They started building greenhouses on the site in the '90s, and now have three, in which they grow everything from greens and tomatoes to squash and beans. The rest of their rolling acreage is dedicated to grass hay and alfalfa, with barley, oats, and triticale grains also cultivated to feed their livestock.
Gillespie's grandfather, Jim, who still lives and works on the Living Farm, came to Paonia as a child in 1938 on the tailwinds of the Dust Bowl; his parents put down roots under the shadow of Mount Lamborn, an avalanche-scarred monolith rising from the patchwork of farmland that rolls in bucolic ripples toward the Western Slope. Three generations of Gillespies currently reside and work on the Living Farm, which shares a name with the family's downtown café that serves seasonal fare—all grown and raised on the family's acreage—to the van-loads of tourists who wind their way down McClure Pass each summer and pack the patio at the back of the restaurant.

In decades past, Ben might have more in common with his Centennial State peers. But as young people leave family farms and the traditional agrarian economy behind, Ben knows he's something of an anomaly in 2019.
"I'm a pretty rare commodity, but I've always known I wanted to stick with it. I remember falling asleep at my dad's feet in the tractor cab when I was a kid," he says when asked why he's chosen to work for the family business. "At the end of the day, I manage my own time and there's a lot of freedom in that. But it's a lot of work, and I worry about [new farmers] burning out."
America's farmers are aging, and Colorado isn't immune to the trend. Figures released this spring from the 2017 Census of Agriculture—a complete counting of American farms and ranches and the people who operate them, which is released by the Department of Agriculture (USDA) every five years—document a stark trend that puts the national average age of farmers at 57.5 years old (up from 50 years of age in 1982). Plus, farmers over the age of 65 outnumber farmers under the age of 35 (also known as young producers) by more than 6 to 1, according to a 2017 report from the National Young Farmers Coalition (NYFC).
A similar story can be told of Colorado farmers, whose average age is just shy of 59. However, Census of Agriculture data showed some hope for the Centennial State's farming future: Colorado is one of the top 10 states in the country for "new and beginning producers," or farmers with 10 years of experience or less. Additionally, even as the acres of farmland in the United States decreased by 1.6 percent between 2012 and 2017, the overall number of farms in Colorado has increased by 7 percent.

Just 20 minutes away from the Living Farm, AJ Carrillo and his wife Nicole (31 and 32, respectively), are just getting started as farmers in Hotchkiss. Native Front Rangers, they both graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder's humanities program and worked on farms in and around the Boulder area after college. In the fall of 2016, they purchased 18 acres just outside of downtown Hotchkiss, a parcel with rows of mature peach trees behind their breezy, 100-year-old farmhouse. They named it Deer Tree Farm and Agroforest.
Part of the Carrillos' business model depends on Nicole's catering business, Forage Sisters, which utilizes the couple's farm-raised meat and produce. This strategy has been increasingly embraced by beginning farmers, who are leaning away from bulk commodities and focusing on diversification to insulate themselves from things like crop failure and trade wars ("You can't put all your eggs in one basket," agrees Gillespie). But unlike generational farmers in the area, their from-scratch operation comes with unique challenges, like a lack of infrastructure and additional workers, as well as attempting to strike a work–life balance while starting a business with lots of overhead.
"Our neighbors are really encouraging, and I think a lot of people are excited to see young folks who want to farm and keep up the tradition of the region," says AJ Carrillo. "But the first two years were really intense, and at the end of the first year we had to sit down and ask ourselves, 'Is this really what we want to do?' It's been humbling and it's a lot of work, but we're living our dream."
The Carrillos represent a burgeoning demographic of new and young producers across the country—one that the NYFC survey finds is overwhelmingly hopeful, concerned about the environment and sustainability, and educated. More than 80 percent of respondents claimed some level of higher education beyond high school, and, despite declining numbers of female farmers nationwide, more than half of respondents to the NYFC survey are women.

"I think that there are more and more women getting into agriculture and doing a really good job of it…I know a lot of very happy, very strong women who have found themselves in the field," says Stephanie Syson, a 37-year-old graduate of the University of North Carolina Asheville's Restoration Agriculture program, who, like the Carrillos, doesn't come from a farming background. She now manages a medicinal herb farm in Carbondale, and also started a public food forest nearby in Basalt, called the Basalt Food Park, which increases community access to locally grown food and agriculture.
"I think there are more and more people waking up to the fact that farm fresh food is the way to go, and I hope it's not just a fad," says Gillespie. In fact, many young farmers reported that CSAs (community supported agriculture) and local farmers' markets made up the bulk of their sales, with many new and beginning producers looking outside commodity-based models employed by many established farms.
Despite the optimism, there are serious ramifications coming regarding the fact that the country's—and Colorado's—farmers are simply aging out of the business. And without a new flock of producers, there are significant implications for America's food supply. Add in headlines about rising farm debt, trade wars, and a mental health crisis in rural farming communities, and there's no telling whether Colorado's trend of up-and-coming young farmers will be sustainable in the long run.
Gillespie thinks that despite all of those hurdles, there's promise in the next generation looking to join his family's ranks. His advice to new farmers? "We're here to give each other a hand. Don't give up."
Editor's note: This is the first installation in a series of three articles on young farmers in Colorado.

I'm very close to my friends and my friend circle consists of both boys and girls. Until last year we all were very close but this year I don't know what happened — they are all not talking to each other and can't see each other. The boys talk rubbish about the girls and the girls talk rubbish about the boys. I'm torn between these two groups. I'm confused about which side I should be on — girls or boys. What should I do? I want the old group back!
Dear Riya, during the teenage many things change fast; even relationships. In a few years boys and girls mature physically, emotionally and intellectually. No wonder their approach to each other changes and this can generate confusion. Choose a few good friends carefully and spend time with them, sharing your life and experience with them. Discuss with them your doubts and confusion; they too will share with you. Slowly you will understand how to relate to girls and boys and decide how to approach them. Look at the future more than the past.

New York Islanders NFL Style Cut List For 2018-19 Season

Shane Prince | LW
Two points, 25-years-old
What does Shane Prince give to the New York Islanders exactly? Offensive depth? A good option when another player is injured? He's at best third line player in the NHL. But the Islanders already have a number of guys that can fit that role in 2018-19. Brock Nelson, Andrew Ladd, Kieffer Bellows, Josh Ho-Sang, and Shane Prince. That's five guys for three spots.
Again, the Islanders third line in 2018-19 should be Kieffer Bellows, Josh Ho-Sang, and Brock Nelson. Prince should be nowhere near that line unless injuries occur.
Injuries plagued his 2018-19 season, but with two points in fourteen games, Prince was on pace for 12 points by the end of the season. Why in the world would the New York Islanders keep that type of production around?
If the New York Islanders have Stanley Cup ambitions in 2018-19, as Garth Snow has intimated, then having Shane Prince in your lineup does not reinforce that. In fact, it actually just continues the trend of absolute mediocrity that is the New York Islanders over the last few seasons.
There is absolutely no reason to keep Shane Prince on this team. With similar but better options like Alan Quine or Tanner Fritz to keep on the scratchpad to be a sub in at a moments notice, why keep Prince? That was rhetorical, there's no reason. None. Not a single one. So…chop, chop!
