FRC decries shortage of accommodation in ABU Zaria
Abdulhamid Abdullahi AliyuApril 6, 2019
ABU Zaria
FRC decries shortage of accommodation in ABU Zaria NEWS DIGEST – The Fiscal Responsibility Commission (FRC) has decried the acute shortage of students accommodation at the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria.
It also sought for increased funding for the institution to address this challenge.
This is contained in a statement by the Senior Information Officer of the commission, Malam Saiful Sada, issued in Zaria, Kaduna State on Saturday.
Sada said the Team leader for the North-West Zone, Hajiya Maryam Iliyasu-Mohammed stated this when the team visited both campuses of ABU at Samaru and Kongo in Zaria.
He said the visit was in continuation of the commission's 2018 physical verification of selected Federal Government's capital projects in the geopolitical zone.
"Maryam, who is also the Director Planning Research and Statistics of the commission, observed that there is need for improved funding for the institution especially in the area of students' accommodation.
"We observed that as at now, the school can only accommodate one-fifth of its students population which is grossly inadequate. "She encouraged the university to ensure synergy between its procurement department and other units of the university. "There is the need for better synergy and cohesion between the procurement department and other units involved in the budgeting process," she said. Responding, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Ibrahim Garba appreciated the commission for fishing out the irregularities in the procurement department.
Garba, who was represented by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academics, Prof. Ezra Bako-Amans, promised to convey the message to the Vice-Chancellor towards correcting the identified anomalies.

SAINT ASONIA To Embark On Virtual Tour
As a way to continue to perform live for its fans during the current quarantine conditions, SAINT ASONIA has announced a "virtual tour" where the band will perform on the the different social media platforms of rock radio stations around the country. The band will add a local flavor to each performance.
"It's been really important to myself and the band to do everything we can to try and stay connected with fans, and with the people who play our music," says singer Adam Gontier. "We wouldn't be where we are without the amazing love and support rock radio has shown us over the years. We ended up having this really unique opportunity to play live acoustic shows for a number of stations throughout the month of May, and we're really excited to do it. During this strange and somewhat disappointing period in time, it's the least we can do. We're stoked to do a virtual tour, and play some shows for all of the people who support us."
He continues: "It also gives us a chance to introduce our new single 'Blind' to people. It's a song about pushing through to the end, no matter how tough it gets. It's a strong sentiment, considering what the world is going through."
SAINT ASONIA continues to hold #SaintAsoniaHappyHour sessions every Friday night, which are all about the talk, the tunes, and the connection with fans.
SAINT ASONIA, featuring former THREE DAYS GRACE frontman Gontier and STAIND guitarist/founding member Mike Mushok, released its sophomore effort "Flawed Design" in fall 2019 via Spinefarm Records. The single "The Hunted", featuring GODSMACK's Sully Erna, was a Top 10 radio smash.
SAINT ASONIA sparked into life five years ago when Gontier and Mushok decided to turn their joint ambition to make music that is "raw, real, and straight from our hearts" into a new band and a fully-fledged studio outing.
The result was their acclaimed self-titled debut, released in 2015, which charted Top 10 in Canada and entered the Billboard U.S. Rock Albums chart at #2. The album was driven by the Top 10 radio tracks "Better Place" and "Let Me Live My Life", as well as the high-concept video to the featured track "Fairy Tale".
Given the pedigree and profile of the musicians involved — they are collectively responsible for 28 Top 10 U.S. rock radio hits, including 17 No. 1s — the demand was immediately there for SAINT ASONIA to take to the road. Following an inaugural main stage appearance at Rock On The Range in 2015, the band set off on U.S. amphitheater tours with BREAKING BENJAMIN and DISTURBED.
In Europe, they guested on an arena run with MÖTLEY CRÜE, visiting the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, and Finland, as well as playing several dates in Russia and Eastern Europe. As a consequence, Gontier has been back to the region for extensive solo acoustic shows.

Born on March 06, 1927, Marquez was considered one of the most noteworthy authors of the 20th century.
Google on Tuesday celebrated the work and legacy of one of Columbia's most famous authors Gabriel García Marquez, whose works have been critically-acclaimed all over the world. Today on his 91st birth anniversary, the search giant has dedicated its Doodle to honour the legendary writer. He was one of the most popular Spanish writer. Born on March 06, 1927, Marquez was considered one of the most noteworthy authors of the 20th century.
He was awarded the 1972 Neustadt International Prize for Literature and the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature. He pursued a self-directed education that resulted in his leaving law school for a career in journalism.
In addition to his work as a novelist, Marquez was also a poet, short-story writer, screen writer and journalist. In 1982, Marque became the first Colombian and only the fourth Latin American author to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
García Marquez wrote many acclaimed non-fiction works and short stories, but is best known for his novels, such as One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967), The Autumn of the Patriarch (1975), and Love in the Time of Cholera (1985). His works have achieved significant critical acclaim and widespread commercial success, most notably for popularising a literary style known as magic realism, which uses magical elements and events in otherwise ordinary and realistic situations.
García Marquez was a "committed Leftist" throughout his life, adhering to socialist beliefs.
Critics often describe the language that García Marquez's imagination produces as visual or graphic, and he himself explains each of his stories is inspired by "a visual image".

With the rise of vaping has come fake e-liquids, which contain ingredients or concentrations of ingredients that simply do not match their labels -- potentially placing vapers at risk.
In some instances, fake e-juices have been found to contain either more or less nicotine than what's purported on their label. In order to thwart these fraudsters, at least one group of researchers is working on a handheld scanner that would provide a chemical fingerprint of the e-liquid, allowing for a determination to be made on whether the ingredients contained within the liquid match those of the label. Now while this technology is reportedly in the works, that still leaves consumers with a valid concern: how does one determine whether they're buying real or fake e-juice?
One solution is to shop only at trusted stores, such as here at Vaper Empire. At Vaper Empire, all of our vape juice is manufactured from the finest ingredients and strictly pharmaceutical-grade nicotine. On top of all this, it's all made in a multimillion-dollar manufacturing facility located in the United Kingdom. And it's all lab tested in order to ensure compliance with European Union TPD standards, which ensures that each and every bottle of Vaper Empire brand e-juice meets the high standards that we hold our products to. In other words, you can trust our juice.

Three takeaways from the Blackhawks' game against the Red Wings
By Justin Klawans
Chicago Blackhawks Mandatory Credit: Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports /
For the second time in three days, the Chicago Blackhawks played the Detroit Red Wings in what was the final meeting of the season between the two teams.
The Blackhawks came into the month of April knowing that they had to make significant improvements if they had any hope of making the playoffs. Unfortunately for Chicago, they had only won three out of their last seven games going into tonight's matchup, including a disastrous 4-1 loss to the Wings this past Thursday.
However, the 'Hawks were determined to come out tonight with all cylinders firing, and they did exactly that in a decisive 4-0 victory tonight. Although there were definitely areas for improvement, as there are in any game, Chicago played very well overall, and easily dispatched their historical rivals.
The shot differential may not have been ideal, especially throughout the first two periods of the game, but the Blackhawks were able to find the back of the twine when it mattered, and their scoring trends continued. At the other end of the ice, the defense and goaltending were able to hold off the Red Wings, who have the third-worst offense in the NHL, from scoring any goals.
The Blackhawks must now look forward to the remainder of this month's schedule, which will not provide them any smooth sailing. Next week will see the team play three straight games against the Nashville Predators, whom they are fighting for the final playoff spot. If the 'Hawks performance against the Preds is anything like tonight, then they will likely be able to put up some more in the win column.
Before the team takes on the guys from Music City, let's go through a quick recap of tonight's game. Here are three key takeaways from the Blackhawks' victory against the Detroit Red Wings.


Der Score von John DuPrez für den Turtles-Film aus dem Jahre 1990 wird auf Vinyl rausgebracht, und das ist sogar die allerste Veröffentlcihung des Scores überhaupt. Aber okay... Musik klingt nicht schlecht, aber für mich reicht das nicht, die Platte dazu zu kaufen.
After teasing the release late last year, Waxwork Records has outlined the label's full release plans for the expanded vinyl release of Jerry Goldsmith's score to The 'Burbs by director Joe Dante.
To refresh your memory, The 'Burbs arrived in 1989 and starred both Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher. It marked a departure from Dante's previous films, such as Gremlins and The Howling, emerging as a cult-horror-comedy about a seriously messed-up suburb and how its residents deal with a group of suspected devil worshippers and murders.
As for the actual soundtrack, it was penned by OST legend Jerry Goldsmith, known for his musical work on Alien, Poltergeist and The Omen, just to name a few. The Waxwork release will mark the first time the score has been pressed on vinyl, with the set emerging as a sprawling 2-LP package containing the expanded and complete score.
The audio has been remastered for the vinyl release, which will also feature new liner notes from Dante and new album art by Vance Kelly. The vinyl will be pressed on 180-gram "Suburban Sky" coloured wax, include an art print insert and feature old style tip-on gatefold jackets with satin coating.
The vinyl reissue will go on sale Friday (October 26), and you can listen to sampler featuring four album tracks over here.
Jerry Fielding was a three time Oscar-nominated composer known for his work on gritty, often brutally savage, films in western and crime action genres, including many Clint Eastwood movies, (The Wild Bunch, Straw Dogs, Outlaw Josey Wales and others). The highlight of the Bad News Bears scores is Fielding's adaptation of the famous Carmen suite by Georges Bizet. It is cited by many who have seen the movie as it plays in many key parts of the film. The soundtrack will be available for the first time on LP. It will be issued as a limited 1000 unit release on yellow vinyl. The Bad News Bears was recently called the greatest baseball movie ever made by Rolling Stone Magazine.

Northern Michigan Watersheds Receive Big Boost from Michigan DNR Grants
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has approved six Aquatic Habitat Grant Program projects totaling $1.25 million. This is the third round of projects since the program began in 2014. It is funded annually by a portion of fishing and hunting license sales. Traverse City based Conservation Resource Alliance (CRA) has been awarded two of the grant awards from the current funding cycle, $430,000 for their Free Span the Maple River Initiative in Emmet County, and $200,000 for the Bridging the Jordan River Restoration Project in Antrim County.
DNR advises caution to prevent spread of oak wilt disease
Contact Michigan DNR: Bob Heyd, 906-228-6561, ext. 3023 or Roger Mech, 810-229-4155
For most people, April 15 is the annual tax-filing deadline. For people like Roger Mech – and other forest health professionals – April 15 also marks the beginning of the yearly window when oak wilt can be transmitted from diseased to healthy red oak trees.
According to Mech, forest health specialist for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Forest Resources Division, oak wilt is a serious disease of oak trees. It mainly affects red oaks, including northern red oak, black oak and pin oak. Red oaks often die within a few weeks after becoming infected.
Help prevent spread of invasive New Zealand mudsnail
Contact Michigan DNR: Seth Herbst, 517-284-5841 or Elyse Walter, 517-284-5839
In 2015 the Michigan departments of Environmental Quality and Natural Resources confirmed the presence of the invasive New Zealand mudsnail (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) in the Pere Marquette River near Baldwin, which is a popular destination for trout and salmon anglers.
New Zealand mudsnails are each only about 1/8 inch long and can be difficult to see. However, these snails can significantly change the aquatic habitats they live in by reaching extremely high densities. When that happens, they can out-compete native species that are important food sources for trout.
Conserving the Beaver Island Archipelago - Final Reports
We are pleased to present the results of ecological restoration efforts led by Conservation Resource Alliance throughout the Beaver Island archipelago from 2013 to 2015. This work was made possible through a generous grant from the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation's Sustain Our Great Lakes Program.
Nature Change – Conversations About Conservation and Climate
If most of the ash trees are dead, beech trees are dying and new pests are approaching Michigan's hemlock and maple trees, what will our northern forests look like in the years ahead? Will the changing climate affect what grows to replace the lost trees? And how does all this change impact the birds and animals that populate the beautiful landscapes of northwest lower Michigan?
These are topics that all of us in northwest lower Michigan need to think and talk about. And that's why six of the region's leading conservation nonprofits have banded together to launch a new on-line, multimedia magazine called Nature Change – Conversations About Conservation and Climate.

156 AD Castra Regina Germania (Southern Germany)
156 AD Castra Regina Germania (Southern Germany)- In Castra Regina, Germania around 156 A.D, an attack by seventeen zombies left a prominent cleric infected. The Roman commander that was sent to dispatch the outbreak, recognizing the signs of a newly turned zombie, ordered his troops to destroy the former holy man. The "death" of the zombified cleric enraged the local citizens of the region, and started a riot.
The aftermath of the outbreak and the unfortunate riot left 10 zombies killed, including the holy man, 17 Roman casualties (due to the riot), and the deaths of 198 civilians.
About the region and history:
The first settlements in Regensburg date from the Stone Age. The Celtic name Radasbona was the oldest given to a settlement near the present city. Around AD 90, the Romans built a fort there.
In 179, a new Roman fort, called Castra Regina ("fortress by the river Regen"), was built for Legio III Italica during the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius.[3] It was an important camp at the most northerly point of the Danube; it corresponds to what is today the core of Regensburg's Old City or Altstadt east of the Obere and Untere Bachgasse and west of the Schwanenplatz. It is believed that as early as in late Roman times the city was the seat of a bishop, and St Boniface re-established the Bishopric of Regensburg in 739.
From the early 6th century, Regensburg was the seat of a ruling family known as the Agilolfings. From about 530 to the first half of the 13th century, it was the capital of Bavaria. Regensburg remained an important city during the reign of Charlemagne. In 792, Regensburg hosted the ecclesiastical section of Charlemagne's General Assembly, the bishops in council who condemned the heresy of adoptionism taught by their Spanish counterparts, Elipandus of Toledo and Felix of Urgell. After the partition of the Carolingian Empire in 843, the city became the seat of the Eastern Frankish ruler, Louis II the German. Two years later, fourteen Bohemian princes came to Regensburg to receive baptism there. This was the starting point of Christianization of the Czechs, and the diocese of Regensburg became the mother diocese of that of Prague. These events had a wide impact on the cultural history of the Czech lands, as they were consequently part of the Roman Catholic and not the Slavic-Orthodox world. A memorial plate at St John's Church (the alleged place of the baptism) was unveiled a few years ago, commemorating the incident in the Czech and German languages.

Maeklong Railway Market is a traditional Thai market selling fresh vegetables, food and fruit. What makes it special is that the market is located on a train line where, a few times a day, the train runs directly through the market.... You need to get a bus or a van to Maeklong. Until recently there were vans conveniently located under the Expressway at Victory Monument. Now, as I understand it, both vans and buses leave from Southern Bus Terminal aka Sai Tai Mai, out in the northwestern suburbs.
Maeklong Market Railway is fantastic you can catch the train from Thonburi, its a two part trip to the Maeklong market and the train ride is slow and exciting, plus you need to cross a water way. Try coming out by train next time its far more exciting this way, you actually get to see the Railway market from a different perspective.... The Maeklong railway market train schedule can be a bit unreliable. So, just hang around and wait for the train to roll past. So, just hang around and wait for the train to roll past. The stalls are piled with vegetables and seafood.
How to get to Maeklong railway market / Maeklong railway station. Travel to the Bangkok train market on your own tour by rail or take a minivan from Morchit or the Southern Bus Terminal (Sai Tai Mai) - Timetables, fares, operating / opening hours, entrance fee...... Maeklong Market Railway is fantastic you can catch the train from Thonburi, its a two part trip to the Maeklong market and the train ride is slow and exciting, plus you need to cross a water way. Try coming out by train next time its far more exciting this way, you actually get to see the Railway market from a different perspective.
The Maeklong Railway Market is a photographer's delight. It has an indoor section with plenty of stalls selling all kinds of interesting local food, from thousand-year eggs to live chickens and vegetables.
The train barely fits through the market, and once the train passes through the market stalls occupy the railway line almost immediately. I took a day trip from Bangkok out to Maeklong, and sure enough this crazy market wasn't just a figment of my youtube imagination, it really exists.
Part from the train, Maeklong Railway Market is a traditional Thai market that offers lots of fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood, snacks and cooked food. If you're in Bangkok and you're going to visit Amphawa Floating Market (more about that further down), you simply can't skip Maeklong Railway Market.

Robert Downey Jr's Overviews
As of 2020, Robert Downey Jr's net worth is roughly 300 million dollars, according to Celebrity Net Worth. He is currently one of the world's highest-paid actors.
Robert John Downey Jr. is an American actor, producer, and singer. He was born in Manhattan, New York City, to actor and filmmaker Robert Downey Sr. and Elsie Ann (née Ford).
Robert Downey Jr is well recognized for his role as Iron Man in the Marvel franchise, Sherlock Holmes, to overcome severe substance abuse issues and restart his career.
As a child, Robert Downey Jr was exposed to a mountain of drugs. His father allowed him to use marijuana at the age of six. While recounting his childhood, he said that drug use became an emotional bond between him and his father: "When my dad and I would do drugs together, it was like him trying to express his love for me is the only way he knew how." As time went on, though, he got into trouble with drug use and landed himself in jail. From 1996 to 2001, Robert was arrested several times on drug charges.
Robert Downey Jr was found to have cocaine, heroin, and marijuana numerous times. He went through various unsuccessful drug rehab programs, and his ex-wife divorced him due to how bad his drug use had become and took their son with her. He also lost his career for a little while.
It all started in April 1996, when he was arrested for speeding down Sunset Boulevard and in possession of cocaine, heroin, including an unloaded .357 Magnum handgun. A month later, Robert Downey Jr was released on parole, he trespassed into his neighbor's house while under the influence of a controlled substance and went to sleep in one of his neighbor's mattresses. He was granted three years of probation and assigned to undergo drug testing.
In 1997, Robert Downey Jr missed one of the court-ordered drug tests and was transferred to the L.A. County prison for six months.
In 1999, Robert Downey Jr avoided another drug test, and he was arrested again. This time he was jailed to three years in an all-male prison in Corcoran, in Kings County, California, specifically designed to house inmates who are drug addicts. While he was in jail, he lost a role he was supposed to play on the NBC animated television series "God, the Devil, and Bob." After a year of prison, he posted a $5,000 bail and was eligible for early release.

In 2000, he was arrested again, while intoxicated and in possession of cocaine and Valium. In April 2001, he was found wandering Culver City barefoot by an LAPD officer.
Robert Downey Jr was arrested under suspicion of being under the influence of something. Cocaine was later found in his bloodstream. He was released a few hours later. After his release, he lost his role at "Ally McBeal." He went to rehab again and was placed on probation for three years. This time, he took advantage of the rehab and got himself together, but by then, he had lost quite a several film roles. No one wanted to work with him anymore.
Robert Downey Jr career went cold for a while. Bond completion companies refused to insure him, until Mel Gibson, his long time friend decided to help him out and paid the insurance bond for the 2003 film "The Singing Detective," while hoping he won't screw up this opportunity again.
After rehab, his first work was lip-syncing in the video for Elton John's single "I Want Love" in 2001. After that, he acted in "The Singing Detective." In that same year, he appeared in "Gothika." The producer Joel Silver withheld 40% of his salary until after production is finished as insurance against his addictive behavior. Since then, Similar clauses have become standard in his contracts. He has been sober since 2003.

Coffee shop about more than coffee
by: Alex Hazard
A coffee shop in State College in doing so much more than just serving coffee.
If you have ever gotten a cup of joe in State College, you've probably stepped foot into one of the many coffee shops, but if you go to Good Day Cafe, you'll see it's a little different.
"Good Day Cafe is an example of I think the State College community coming together to provide an employment opportunity for a variety of people with disabilities," Cindy Pasquinelli said.
Good Day Cafe provides opportunities for several people with disabilities. Jason Fish is one of the employees and says it's really just like an employment opportunity for anyone else right down to the application process.
I saw an ad in the newspaper and i decided that since Strawberry Fields has done a lot with other groups ive been part of and i figured i might as well apply for a job where they will keep my disabilities in mind," he said.
Pasquinelli says it's really so much more than a place to grab a cup of coffee. Good Day Cafe is a place to make a difference in someone's life.
What's so wonderful about all these people being here is their interactions with the public," Contributor Dr. Roy Love said. "They're making friends they're making a contribution when they make a scone or they hand somebody a cup of coffee they feel good about themselves and it really makes a difference."
Love was instrumental in bringing Good Day Cafe to State College. He said he can remember the first time he saw a coffee shop like this.
You're seeing people having a fulfilling job doing some of the things that are simple tasks, but enjoying it because it giving them some place to go out and do it and get paid for their services," Love said.
Before bring this idea to the non for profit, Strawberry Field that runs Good Day Cafe, Dr. Love asked his nephew if he thought it would make a true difference for folks living with disabilities.
"My nephew works with folks with autism and disabilities, and I asked him does it make a difference for folks with disablities to have work?,' he said it is like night and day," Love said.
For Fish who works at the cafe said his customers and colleauges are so much more than just part of his job.
"Here they act like my other extra family," he said.
Providing jobs for people with disabilities, Good Day Cafe in State College is making a difference one cup of coffee at a time.
If you'd like to support Good Day Cafe, all you have to do is stop in for a cup of coffee, 7:00 am until 4:30 pm except Sunday.

How Uber Taxi Rolls Out City by City
Travis Kalanick, co-founder of Uber, explains the local market approach he took to grow his car service in seven U.S. cities, Paris, and Toronto. Up next? Asia.
By Nicole Carter and Tim Rice
00:07 Travis Kalanick: We had no idea what we were getting into. But a lot of times, that's how these types of things start; you start by solving your own need and then, as times goes on, creativity and a curious mind just keep pushing the boundaries of what can be done until you find yourself rolling out a transportation system in every major city in the world.
00:26 Kalanick: Our first city was San Francisco, June 2010, and we didn't launch another city until New York, that was May 2011. At this point we're now in nine cities around the world, two of them outside of the United States; Toronto and Paris. We're going to be hitting Europe pretty hard in the next several months, and Asia is going to really get going in the second part of this year.
00:48 Kalanick: Every city, every subsequent city that we go to we're getting better at rolling the city out and growing the city faster. And so a lot of the cities where there's constrained number of taxis, no liquid black car market, those are the cities where we launch and things explode from the start. We have other cities where there's tons of taxis, in some cases way too many and in those situations often the quality of service being delivered is really poor, so we go in there and explode as well. But there's all kinds of different cities in terms of regulatory, and in terms of what the industry looks like, an industry which we're disrupting in a substantial way.
01:28 Kalanick: And so it's just something we learned how to deal with. I like to say we're principled, right? We think that cities deserve to have another transportation alternative. It sounds crazy to have to say that but you have to do that because you have incumbent interests which are often trying to curtail innovation and curtail sort of transportation alternatives that might compete with their existing business. And, because of that, it requires us to take a very local approach to how we go after a city. We have launchers that go into city and get... Turn nothing into something. I like to say they drop in with parachutes and machetes get highly involved with the suppliers, people who own cars and run car services, and really just make sure that we can launch a service that is high quality from the start.
02:27 Kalanick: Being local and speaking with local voice is important when you're doing transportation and means you know what's going on for the city.

The High Five: Highland Park Restores 'A Glass Castle' To The Classroom
by Krystina Martinez 26 Sep 2014 9:52 AM
Five stories that have North Texas talking: Highland Park restores one book to the classroom, fall means two things – pumpkin treats and the State Fair of Texas, and more.
The Highland Park school district has pulled one book off of its suspended list. A Glass Castle: A Memoir by Jeannette Walls was one of seven books pulled from Highland Park classrooms last week. The move raised eyebrows because Walls is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the Highland Park Literary Festival in February. In an email blast, the district says the person who challenged A Glass Castle withdrew that challenge on Wednesday.
It's the season for pumpkin-infused treats. If pumpkin spiced lattes aren't your thing, try any of the other pumpkin recipes in a new cookbook released by the Dallas Arboretum. Dallas Arboretum Pumpkin Festival Recipes was written by Chandler Lindsley, the granddaughter of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt. The book can be purchased at the Arboretum's Hoffman Family Gift Store.
The State Fair of Texas opens today at 10 a.m. Get ready for a month of rides, music, football, fried food goodness, Big Tex, miniature cattle, and much more. KERA's vice president of news, Rick Holter, spoke with Dottie Love, who's shown off the mini cattle known as a zebu for a decade now at the fair. Never seen a zebu before?Here's five things you should know. Gut-busting food is the big name of the game at the State Fair, and KERA's digital news editor and Big Texpert Eric Aasen has the round-up on this year's treats. And don't forget to check out the fair's daily schedule.
An auditor found Gov. Rick Perry handed out millions of dollars to 11 companies without the proper paperwork. The Austin-American Statesman and The Texas Tribune reports the audit covered the Texas Enterprise Fund, an economic incentive program which Perry has long championed. His staff said most of the problems happened during the first two years of the program, but the audit pointed out that inaccurate or incomplete information was reported to the public as late as 2013.
Dallas once tried to become a port city. Before the city had the idea to build a highway along the Trinity River, they had another idea — to build a canal along the river and turn it into a port through the Gulf of Mexico. Clearly, the idea never happened. In the latest episode of the podcast 99% Invisible, Roman Mars and Julia Barton explore the grand plan, and ultimate failure of the Port of Dallas.

Living Landmark: Grant Memorial AME Church, Formerly First Church of Christ, Scientist
Along Drexel Boulevard on the South Side is Grant Memorial AME Church, which for more than 60 years has been a pillar of faith and giving back to the community. The church building is beautifully designed in the Neoclassical style, and is an important part of architectural and ecclesiastical history.
Designed by noted architect Solon Spencer Beman, this was the first Christian Science church built in the Greek Revival style, which would become the common building style of Christian Science and other churches for decades.

Beman's Early Career
Early in his career, Beman embraced an eclectic array of building designs, which included Queen Anne, Romanesque and Gothic Revival styles.
One of his most notable commissions was Pullman, a planned company town he designed at the age of 26. The Greenstone Church pictured above that he designed is located in Pullman and built in the Gothic Revival style.

Turning Point: 1893 World's Columbian Exposition
Like architects all over the world, Beman was heavily influenced by the Neoclassical style. Daniel Burnham, architect of the fair, also favored this style. Beman designed the Mines and Mining Building and the Merchant Tailors Building (above). The Merchant Tailors building would serve as a loose blueprint for the First Church of Christ, Scientist building.
The stately and historical revivalist buildings he designed at the World's Columbian Exposition marked a permanent shift in preference to Classical Revival design.
Drawings of First Church of Christ, Scientist from November 14, 1897 Inter Ocean newspaper
Designed by an Architect With a New Religion
Beman was a convert to Christian Science, and played a pivotal role the design of their churches across the country. The January 17, 1897 edition of the Chicago Daily Tribune included this account of how Beman was selected to design the new church:
With the location for the new building settled, the committee began the work of securing plans. Twelve of the leading architects in the city were asked to submit designs for the structure. The conditions imposed were merely that the auditorium should seat 1,500 people […].
As soon as the plans were all in the committee inspected them carefully and then took a "blind vote." When the slips of paper were examined it was found that the members were of one mind, and that all had voted for the design by Architect S.S. Beman.
–January 17th, 1897 edition of Chicago Daily Tribune
Grant Memorial AME Church interior. John Morris/Chicago Patterns
One of the church's distinguishing features is the auditorium-like seating, and a lack of supporting columns to obstruct the view or acoustics. Because much of the Christian Science tradition involves readings, clarity and proximity to the reading desk were primary considerations in the design.
At the time of construction, it was noted that the "farthermost seat is not more than sixty-five feet from the desk" (also from 01/17/1897 Daily Tribune).
Though commonplace in ecclesiastical architecture today, the exterior facade marked a clear departure from most church design at the time. There was no soaring tower, no large expanses of stained glass. Instead, a simple edifice with Ionic order columns, inspired by the Erechtheion of Acropolis.
The church in Chicago was the first Christian Science church built in the Classical style. It would influence the design of many others across the country, including a later addition to the "Mother Church," The First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston.
In a 1907 article in The World Today, a general interest Chicago magazine, he eloquently professed his preference for the Classical Style and why it was popular with the Christian Science Church:
[…] it follows logically that it [Christian Science] is likely to favor classic architecture for its churches. This style, with its sense of calm power and dignity, and with its true systems of proportion, its sincerity and refinement, and I may add its rationalism, seems to represent the faith of those who employ it in their homes of worship.
–Solon Spencer Beman
By the 1940s, the neighborhood was changing rapidly as a result of the Great Migration. At the same time, the Christian Science Church as a whole began to decline rapidly. The church building was sold to Grant Memorial AME Church in 1950, and today First Church of Christ, Scientist of Chicago is no longer in existence.
Hugo Holmes, a cook at the church, gives a mock sermon. John Morris/Chicago Patterns
Grant Memorial has been a pillar of the community since moving in to the church over 60 years ago. One of the ways they do this is through Operation PULL (People United to Lift Lives), a food pantry helping feed those who struggle to feed their family.
Operation PULL began as bi-weekly food distribution at the church over 30 years ago, and today helps those in need across the Oakland, Grand Boulevard, and Kenwood neighborhoods.
While many former Christian Science churches languish in vacancy or neglect, this historic structure continues to thrive the people in it make a positive difference in their community.

Mass Expat Exodus From Libya Commences
Governments all over the world have been making urgent plans to bring home their citizens amid growing concerns that chaos and bloodshed in the North African country will continue.
According to oil industry experts, approximately 50% of production has ceased since the riots began last week and tens of thousands of foreign workers are exiting the country amid fears for their safety.
In many cases, oil companies have taken their own measures to try and protect their expat employees. Talking to the EU Observer, a BP spokesman said: "We are putting together a plan to help people leave over the next few days."
Many countries have chartered private aircraft to evacuate their citizens but rescued expats have relayed stories of crowded and unorganized airports that are overflowing with stranded passengers.
According to Bloomberg, the evacuation of more than 30,000 Turkish nationals from Libya constitutes the biggest evacuation in Turkey's history. While governments in the US, Russia, the UK and China have also begun sending ships and airplanes to evacuate their foreign residents. A full schedule of the evacuation plans for 15 nations can be found on the BBC website: Evacuation Plans.
Libyan protestors commenced rioting last week in an attempt to end the rule of Muammar Gaddafi. The ensuing government crackdown has led to the deaths of hundreds of protestors with the regime employing foreign mercenaries armed with assault rifles, tear gas, and heavy weapons in an attempt to quell the rioting.

Off-grid luxury.
Five alternative boating holidays for ultimate seclusion
Off-grid luxury: five alternative boating holidays for ultimate seclusion
For most of us, the words "luxury yacht holiday" evoke decadent daydreams of Tuscany, Antigua, Florida and Monaco – of cool cocktail bars and elegant harbour-side eateries, full of beautiful people embracing the rich potential of their lives. What they don't tend to elicit are vast, empty tracts of wilderness, a thousand miles from civilisation – and yet the global charter landscape is now so sophisticated that almost no part of the world is beyond reach.
Of course, most boating holidays continue to require moderately accessible starting points for provisioning, technical support and client embarkation, but the scale and range of modern superyachts, allied to the increased sophistication of logistical back-up, means that some of the world's most remote and secluded regions are now a realistic option. Whether you favour the heady romance of a remote tropical archipelago or the scale and majesty of a vast polar landscape, that strange and special dichotomy between the luxury of a crewed charter yacht and the frontier sensations of an unforgiving wilderness is now more accessible than ever before.
As America's largest state, Alaska's scale is difficult to comprehend. It accounts for 17 of the USA's 20 highest mountains; it has more than 3,000 rivers and 3 million lakes; and its 34,000 miles of coastline is longer than the rest of the United States combined. The vast majority of that is, of course, beyond the remit of mainstream charter but, from May to September, its southern reaches offer charter visitors access to some extraordinary treasures.
The key charter region, between Glacier Bay in the north and the Tongass National Park in the south, encompasses the 'Inside Passage' – a relatively sheltered navigation littered with uninhabited islands, deep fjords and isolated inlets. A cruise among these waters enables you to visit places like Haines, Hobart Bay, Admiralty Island, Ketchikan and Petersburgh; to fish the pristine waters or to kayak hidden bays. Expect to see brown bears, bald eagles, orca pods and creaking ice sheets, alongside a wonderful sense of isolation, piqued by the oddly upbeat vibe of state capital, Juneau.
While the Galapagos Islands have a certain rustic, unaffected charm, it's their physical and administrative isolation that makes them special. Perched in a remote part of the Pacific Ocean, 650 nautical miles off the coast of Ecuador, they are run as a national park, with extremely tight controls over visitor access.
In fact, it's a region of such profound ecological value that yachts are confined to specific anchorages and water toy activities are heavily restricted – but if you favour untouched oceanic spectacle over shoreside development, the merits of that are extraordinary. You can simply anchor up in protected waters among the region's volcanic islands and wait for the wildlife to come to you. In addition to bull sharks, Galapagos sharks and whitetips, the waters here are teeming with sea lions, flying fish, manta rays and hammerheads. The islands of Rábida, Floreana and Santiago are all particularly iconic destinations but, wherever you go, the region's watertight approach to tourist management generates an otherworldly sense of isolation you will struggle to find anywhere else.
While West Norway is not a true wilderness in the same way as some of the other entries here, it retains an iconic allure for those in search of an off-grid holiday. Notwithstanding the astonishing Lofoten Islands in the far north, Norway's maritime playgrounds are largely defined by its 1,100 fjords – long, narrow sea inlets between steep glacial cliffs that cut deep into the nation's wild and mountainous interior.
While elegant Alesund provides fine access to the Geirangerfjord, the colourful city of Bergen, with its UNESCO-listed Bryggen Harbour, makes the perfect base to explore some of the region's most astonishing waterways – not least, the remarkable Sognefjord (at more than 120 miles in length, the second largest fjord on the planet). Magnificent landscapes of thousand-metre cliffs and interconnected waterways, fed by gin-clear waterfalls, bring the charter guest virtually endless cruising opportunities – and yet the fjords are equally famous for their enormous reefs, extraordinary fishing opportunities and first-class diving. In short, whether you favour an active trip of kayaking and glacier hikes or a decadent and restful sightseeing tour, a Norwegian charter is an experience you will never forget.
The Indonesian archipelago is as varied as it is vast. It encompasses 17,000 islands across three time zones and, despite the fact that well over half of those islands are uninhabited, it lays claim to 300 ethnic groups and more than 700 languages. It is second only to Brazil for the scale of its bio-diversity and it's also home to the world's last known headhunting tribe. Plainly then, it's a destination tailor-made for the intrepid and the adventurous.
That's not to say that you can't enjoy a more developed form of shoreside infrastructure. On the contrary, a lot of yacht charters tend to operate among the famous island chains south of Borneo and Sulawesi, taking in the likes of Bali, Lombok and Komodo. But north of Jakarta, in the Java Sea, the Kepulauan Seribu chain and the Karimunjawa archipelago further east are the archetype of a tropical getaway. With great reef dives, an extraordinary supply of shoreside wildlife and superb trekking amongst its volcanic peaks, Indonesia offers a thrillingly unpasteurised form of tropical island adventure.
As isolated vacation spots go, Antarctica takes some beating. It is the world's most inhospitable place; the highest, driest and coldest continent on the planet; a place of wild seas, ferocious storms, drifting icebergs and impenetrable glaciers. The charter yacht's only realistic base is the Antarctic Peninsula, which forms the northernmost part of the mainland and lies around 500 nautical miles south of Cape Horn.
But while the region's remoteness makes it one of the most expensive charter venues on the planet, it also brings huge rewards. It's a place of humpbacks, orcas and blue whales; of penguins and leopard seals, made bold and inquisitive by the absence of human contact. Itinerary highlights include the epic landscapes of the cliff-lined Lemaire Channel, the old whaling hub of Paradise Harbour and the famous volcanic harbour at Deception Island. Peak season (which is better understood as 'Accessible Season') runs from November to March, bringing expanded cruising grounds, improved weather and up to 20 hours of sunlight per day.

New changes in health care for automobile maintenance and less health care
Mr. Wang, who is in charge of Finance in a unit, has a habit of recording the main expenses of the usual car. He found that his car spent 5 years without more than 5000 yuan, but the maintenance cost has gone to more than ten thousand yuan, far exceeding the maintenance cost. From the statistics of the provincial transport authority, last year, the total vehicle maintenance and repair in our province reached 24 million 780 thousand, an increase of 174% over the same period last year. The rapid development of the rear market is changing the new moon. For example, the car service market used to maintain a big head, but now, 80% vehicles are maintenance, and the maintenance vehicles only account for about 20% of the total. A month, I was responsible for the traffic in 500 cars, of which more than 400 cars are to do maintenance, only a small number of cars to repair, and these maintenance cars are mostly accident cars. Xu Fei, a service commissioner at a 4S store in Hangzhou, is a service marker in the company for more than a month. He serves as many as more than 2000 vehicles, of which about 70% are new cars in 2 years. Mr. Wang's 5 year driving career is also typical. According to him, in addition to rubbing a small accident, the vehicle has done a lot of paint, sheet metal and other small repairs, usually to repair shop is to do maintenance. "As long as the vehicle is maintained properly, there will be nothing wrong with it." Quite experienced Mr. Wang said that vehicles, like people, are diligent in health care, and the number of cases will be reduced. This is much better than going out of repair and repairing shops. In 1987, there were only 16 auto maintenance enterprises in Hangzhou. The car maintenance factory was not only small and professional, and the main maintenance objects were transportation vehicles and public service cars, and the private cars were very few. In 1987, there were only 16 automobile maintenance enterprises in Hangzhou. But by December 2007, there were 5699 automobile maintenance enterprises in Hangzhou. More and more 4S shops and special maintenance stores were born with more division of labor. More than 5 million maintenance vehicles were maintained throughout the year. Most of them were maintenance of automobile and repair sheet metal. The new car is more, the car making technology is also good, "more new cars, more car making technology, people maintenance awareness and so on, are now the reason for the reduction of vehicle maintenance." Wu Kuizhong, Ford service manager in Zhejiang, has been engaged in automotive services for decades. He said that before the vehicle was small, and mostly for buses, vehicles to repair shop more than 80% of the repair. But now, many new cars are added to private cars, which are much more maintenance, and maintenance vehicles are greatly reduced. It is understood that last year, more than 400 thousand new vehicles in our province, second only to Guangdong Province, became the second newly added vehicle in China. By the end of last year, the number of motor vehicles in Hangzhou (excluding Xiaoshan and Yuhang) had reached 403 thousand vehicles, of which 120 thousand vehicles were added last year and the previous year. That is to say, the new car in Hangzhou has accounted for 1/3 of the total in two years. As the new car only needs maintenance in the past few years, it seldom produces maintenance business. Therefore, the large increase of new car makes maintenance become the main business of maintenance enterprise. Secondly, the technology of car manufacturing is getting better and better, which also makes the incidence of vehicles drop sharply. "The engines of previous vehicles were carburettor, and all kinds of diseases were prone to occur during use. Now, with the use of electronic technology in automobiles, the chance of automobile onset is decreasing. " Experts say that owners of private cars are highly conscious of their maintenance, and are usually less likely to have serious driving problems, especially when driving normally. New changes have spawned new demand for services. The advent of the private car era has brought great changes to the automotive service market. Industry experts say: first of all, vehicle maintenance exceeds maintenance as the biggest cake in the car repair market. The maintenance cost per vehicle is 500 yuan per vehicle and 4 times a year for each vehicle. The cost of vehicle maintenance in the 1 years in Hangzhou is up to 800 million yuan. Thus, in the future, the demand for automotive maintenance technicians, automobile health doctors, will continue to increase. Because of the higher demand of private cars for automobile service enterprises, the service quality of the automobile service market will also change. According to the introduction, private car owners often spend time taking the market, asking for price or comparing, so that some automobile service enterprises earn profits by slaughters. This requires the store to work hard and provide more reasonable prices at the same time, so as to attract more customers to come. "With the popularity of automobile knowledge, private car owners DIY will repair cars and maintain vehicles more and more." Industry experts predict that some owners who are interested in vehicle maintenance will like to do their own maintenance. Therefore, in the next few years, automotive DIY services will develop faster. In our province, fast repair and brand maintenance will also develop at a high speed. According to the person in charge of the provincial transport administration, this year our province will actively explore the maintenance network to enter the community work, strive to form a unified logo, unified standard, unified process and unified contract of the vehicle fast repair network in the Yangtze River Delta as soon as possible, and it will be more convenient for the car family to repair the car.

Q: Pandas .loc and PEP8 I've tried to search this a number of times but I don't see it answered so here goes...
I often use pandas to clean up a dataframe and conform it to my needs. With this comes a lot of .loc accessing to query it and return values. Depending on what I am doing (and column lengths), this can get pretty lengthy. Given PEP8 constrains to 79 characters a line, are there any best practices? Some examples below (these are simplified and for explanatory purposes):
missing_address_df = address_df.loc[address_df['address'].notnull()].copy()

or multiple query points:
nc_drive_df = address.loc[(address_df['address'].str.contains('drive')) & (address_df['state'] == 'NC')]

A: I'd advise two things

*

*Ignore PEP 8's 80 char advice, but try to keep to 120 or 150 lines
Keeping some line length requirement makes sense to aid readability, but if you're trying to keep to 80 chars in (for example) a class method, it will lead to worse and less-readable code
PEP 8 actually has a section on this, A Foolish Consistency is the Hobgoblin of Little Minds, which describes cases you should deviate from its other advice, for example

*

*When applying the guideline would make the code less readable, even for someone who is used to reading code that follows this PEP

*split the .loc contents onto multiple lines
nc_drive_df = address.loc[
    (address_df['address'].str.contains('drive')) & \
    (address_df['state'] == 'NC')
]

It's hard to be objective about when code "looks bad", despite being valid syntax, but you will experience it. Practically, PEP 8 and Cyclomatic Complexity checkers are tools which will help you fight against and defend and propose code styles in a scientific way.

If you have a great many boolean statements, you (often must) break them up with parentheses to clarify their order
nc_drive_df = address.loc[
    (
        (address_df['address'].str.contains('drive')) & \
        (address_df['state'] == 'NC')
    ) || (
        address_df['zip'] == "00000"
    )
]

This is somewhat in conflict with conventional Python operators, which are suggested to preceed lines (PEP8), but I challenge this when forming a Pandas boolean array because the dataframes must be the same to get a good result and it's likely easier to observe this when working with many dataframes when they are first.
Finally, often when doing scientific Python, you should absolutely try many possibilities against a partial and full data if possible to draw good performance conclusions, consider their readability to be second, and provide excellent comments about and linking to your research, etc. over any particular style.

We read in the First Book of Samuel these words. "Does the LORD so delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obedience to the command of the LORD? Obedience is better than sacrifice." Obedience is a central expectation of God from us in our relationship with him. It reflects that God is the beginning and end of all and that we are creatures under God, not equal to God. What was the central hallmark of Jesus' relationship in his humanity to the Father? "I have come to do the will of him who sent me." How obedient am I to the will of God in my life? To sin is to be disobedient. To embrace the will of God is to be obedient.

Where to House my Down Payment Funds?
ForumsArrowStarting OutArrowWhere to House my Down Payment Funds?
Hey guys. I recently finished "Set for Life" and in it the author suggests keeping your investment savings (not your emergency savings) in the stock market so you can ride the general upward slope of the economy before you utilize it. This makes a kind of sense, but I have concerns.
And it's not as though I am terribly risk adverse, either. I have a separate portfolio of stocks which are all highly aggressive, but my timeline for those is decades in the future.
Basically, because my estimated timeline before purchase is 12-36 months then that isn't very long term and thus I wouldn't be riding the "general upward slope of the economy" but would rather be subject to whatever short term market conditions come my way.
What do you guys think? If you were going to be making a purchase in the next 3 years would you keep your money safely "under the mattress" in the bank, or would you place it in the market and accept the risk for the possibly great rewards?
I personally put my down payment money in an Ally Savings Account. I had toyed with purchasing CD's but found that the Ally Savings Account had a very decent interest rate where it wasn't worth doing a CD for less than 5 years. I believe I get something like 1.25% now. I personally don't prescribe to stock market investing, especially for a downpayment. The only way you may true money in the stock market is not put most of your eggs in one basket. Doing that with my dp feels like Russian roulette.
I wouldnt want to throw my funds into a single stock either. The only way I'd do it is with a broad Index Fund of either the S&P500 or the entire US market.
I know I don't make a ton on it in Ally but it keeps it liquid and my money doesn't fluctuate. So if I see a good property on Sunday I don't have to wonder what my stock will look like on Tuesday if I sell to gather a DP.

Mapping the UK's Hajj Sector
Posted on August 22, 2019 in category Health and Care, News by FaithAction
Seán McLoughlin of the University of Leeds has launched the UK's first independent report on the UK Hajj Sector, entitled Mapping the UK's Hajj Sector: Moving towards communication and consensus.
The report draws on three regional stakeholder consultation events and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, including UK tour operators and guides, pilgrim welfare organisations, government officials, trading standards officers, as well as the Civil Aviation Authority. It supports continuing moves towards self-governance through trade associations such as Licensed Hajj Organisers, and commends better communication among all key stakeholders sector-wide.

A's Game Recaps
Game #92: A's Sweep Indians
Who needs relievers when Sean Manaea is dealing? A's sweep Indians behind brilliant performance from next season's ace.
By J. Moore Jul 16, 2017, 4:22pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: Game #92: A's Sweep Indians
Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports
Today at the Coliseum, it didn't matter whether Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson were sitting down the left field line or not because Sean Manaea was straight dealing.
And Indians' starting pitcher, Trevor Bauer, was not.
What took Bauer and reliever Dan Otero 45 pitches to complete [the first inning], it took Manaea 11. In fact, when Manaea retired Brandon Guyer, the game's first batter, Coliseum Public Address Announcer Dick Callahan hadn't yet announced that the official first pitch start was indeed 1:07.
***Click here to re-visit today's Game Thread!***
By the end of his 3rd frame, the A's [likely] next ace had dispatched of the Tribe's first 9 batters in just 37 pitches, allowing only an infield single to Francisco Lindor in the first inning when Matt Chapman was unable to make his best Brooks Robinson impression. No sweat because Lindor was promptly 4-6-3'd [yeah, that's a verb] to end the inning. Manaea was still facing the minimum until the 4th inning when the Indians did their only damage, putting up 2 runs on an RBI single by Michael Brantley that made it 5-2.
The A's notched those 4 of those 5 runs in the first inning with a pair of 2-out, 2-run singles by Ryon Healy and Jaycob Brugman against a struggling [and thoroughly pouty] Trevor Bauer who ran full counts to 5 different batters in the first inning — part of the reason why it took him 43 pitches to get 2 outs — before Dan Otero was summoned from the pen.
The A's added an insurance run in the 3rd inning to make it 5-0 when Jed Lowrie hit his 10th home run of the season to right field off Otero and a few more in the 8th inning to make it 7-2 Oakland on a Matt Joyce RBI single that scored two, including Matt Chapman, who doubled to the deepest [and highest] part of the Coliseum possible without being credited with a home run.
Simón Castro, who was called up early in the morning, made his A's debut in the 9th inning with a 7-2 lead and looked incredibly strong early, getting ahead in counts and striking out the first two batters he saw. Abraham Almonte sent his 0-2 pitch deep into the right field bleachers to make it 7-3 and he additionally gave up an odd single toward second on a ball with some top spin before striking out the game's final batter; as a guy who might be able to come in and throw some innings out of the pen, I am cautiously optimistic.
All and all, a lot of good from today: Manaea, who earned his 8th win on the season and has looked exceptional in his last 4 starts, is a future front-end starter in this league and he showed why again today; and given increased opportunities, the kids in the lineup—particularly Jaycob Brugman and Matt Chapman—show no signs of not being able to hang with major league pitching. Brugman and Chapman both reached base twice each.
Make more space for the kids, Forst!
Don't look now but the the Swingin' A's have won 7 of their last 9 games and look to extend their winning streak to 4+ starting tomorrow at home against the Rays.


Club competitions will be held in the following formats; Men's Singles, Men's Pairs, Handicap, Never Won a Competition, Australian Pairs (Mixed), Ladies Pairs, Ladies Singles. Opponents and results are available in the drop down under Club Competitions above.
Entry sheets will be posted in the clubhouse or can be printed from the link below. All entries MUST be received by 1st May 2019.
There is also a club competition for all members played on Tuesday afternoons. This is split into 2 divisions to ensure the gap between good experienced and inexperienced players is not too great.

Sate Champs Looking Forward To The New Season
Samantha Trujillo, Sports Editor
Ridgeview´s baseball team, also known as the State Champs, are here again this season to represent Ridgeview High School. Not only did baseball win the State Championships, but Valley as well. Coach Jason Hunsaker has been playing baseball since high school as well as a bit of time in college. " It's a fun sport to play when I was a kid, I enjoyed it when I was in high school and then as I got older I liked coaching, I liked the coaching aspect, teaching other kids how to play ". Playing since he was a kid and coaching for 19 years, Hunsaker continues to share and inspire his love of the sport with others.
Other players who share the same love of the sport are returning seniors Ty Pierce, Jacob Guttierez and Josh Gaeta. All of them started playing this sport at a young age, also realizing early on their passion for the game would continue to be with them for a long time. Like all other sports, not only is the sport a challenge physically, but a challenge mentally as well. Pierce gives an inference saying, " That failure is alright, baseball is a big failure game, you could fail seven out of ten times and you could still be one of the best." Although it will take more than failure to stop Ridgeview´s baseball team.
One of the other many baseball players for Ridgeview, Gaeta, agrees this sport can do much more than give you a physical challenge. " It just makes me stronger cause like, It makes me like not want to give up, " Playing with this mindset led the team to great success last season, they had competed in Valley and State Champions last season and brought home gold. Coach Hunsaker gave a statement saying, " That's the first time any team in Bakersfield had won a State Championship, it was our first Valley Championship." Leading the team to that victory was not only thanks to the hard work but the bond of the team played a tremendous role as well.
Guttierez gives this response after being asked about what led the team to success, " Oh, for sure brotherhood, friendship, we built so much chemistry off and on the field, that was like one of the main reasons why we won for sure." Adding on to this statement Gaeta gives a similar response saying, " Just the brotherhood, everyone was connected like, it was amazing." One of the team's priorities for this new season is to continue playing this sport with the same connection and bond that this team had from the previous season.
The bond and hard work does not go unnoticed when coming to see the team. Hunsaker gives a statement saying, " The plans? Trying to win State again, always to win Valley, Valley is our goal and trying to win state now that we've won it once, try and do it again." Pierce gives his biggest quote which is, " My brother said this and I'll say it, I like baseball."
This is Samantha Trujillo third year on the Pack News staff. She is the Sports Editor. She likes spending time with her family and friends. She also...
