New England Patriots at Washington Redskins 08/28/09
By SIMON BRADY
The New England Patriots are one step closer to capturing their fifth Super Bowl title after an emphatic victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship game Sunday night. New England rode the momentum provided by their home crowd in Gillette Stadium to win 36-17.
The Patriots have been almost guaranteed to go home winners when getting out to a fast start in Foxboro. New England improved to an astonishing 101-1 record when leading at halftime in home games. Sunday night was another one of those games, as New England led 17-9 at intermission.
The lead could've been far more scarce had it not been for a huge defensive goal line stand late in the first half. With Pittsburgh on the one yard line, almost sure to score and make it a 17-13 game, the Matt Patricia's led Patriot defense stopped them for three consecutive downs. The Steelers were forced to settle for a field goal, and their potent offense's confidence and productivity faltered from that point on.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had a near superb stat line, throwing for 384 yards on 32/42 passing, including three touchdowns passes. Brady continues to defy father time, playing the best football of his career at age 39.
Outside of Brady, the star of the game was his favorite receiving target of the night, wide receiver Chris Hogan. With nine receptions for 180 yards and two touchdowns, Hogan torched a weak Steeler secondary. The 180 yards totaled by Hogan marks the most by a Patriot receiver in playoff game history, surpassing Deion Branch who previously held the record with an 153 yard game at Denver in 2006.
Hogan has proven to be the best offseason addition for the Patriots. Previously contributing at a minimal level for division foes Miami and Buffalo, Hogan has finally found a home in Foxboro, proving to be a key component to the Patriots' receiving core this season.
Although Hogan's break out game Sunday may be surprising to some, it certainly wasn't to the man throwing to him. In his postgame press conference, Brady pointed out that Hogan had the highest yards per reception average in all of the NFL coming into Sunday's game. The Patriots were fully aware that Hogan had big play capability coming in, and he certainly delivered.
Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman complemented Hogan quite nicely as he had a big day of his own. Edelman totaled 118 receiving yards on 8 catches. And although the New England running game was not much of a factor, Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount got it going late piling up 47 yards on 16 carries, including a one yard touchdown run that effectively put the game out of hand for Pittsburgh late in the third quarter.
Meanwhile on the other sideline, the Pittsburgh Steelers offense led by a great quarterback in his own right, Ben Roethlisberger, did not have nearly as much success as New England. Roethlisberger totaled 31/47 yards passing for 314 yards, with a touchdown and interception each. He finished with an underwhelming 57.2 quarterback rating, while Brady had a staggering 90.4 QBR.
Much of Pittsburgh's lack of production on offense can be attributed to the loss of stud running back Le'Veon Bell. Bell went down early in the first quarter with a groin injury that would keep him sidelined the rest of the game. He mustered out a mere 20 yards on six carries before going down. Bell was a huge piece to the Steelers high powered offense these playoffs, combining for 337 yards running in the Steelers' previous two playoff games.
Serviceable veteran backup tailback DeAngelo Williams did all he could to compensate for Bell's absence, but only registered 34 yards on 14 carries.
In an interesting subplot throughout the week leading up to the game Sunday, controversy swirled around the Steelers locker room. Following the 18-16 divisional round victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, star wide receiver Antonio Brown streamed the locker room celebration on Facebook Live.
He continued to broadcast the elated scene in the locker room through head coach Mike Tomlin's victory speech. His head coach's' speech contained some vulgar language toward the Patriots.
During his weekly press conference, Tomlin called out Brown saying his actions were selfish and that there'd certainly be repercussions for his foolish behavior. On Wednesday, Tomlin kept to that word and announced in front of the team that he would impose a $10,000 fine on Brown.
Given the Steelers' poor performance, and Brown's relatively pedestrian day for his standards, making just seven grabs for 77 yards, speculation will ensue as to how much this may have distracted the team leading up to Sunday night.
Patriots fans would rather not acknowledge these potential Steeler distractions, or let it deviate from their dominant performance. The focus for the Patriots now shifts to NRG Stadium in Houston, the site of Super Bowl LI, next Sunday Feb. 5.
New England has their hands full as they take on Matt Ryan and the explosive Atlanta Falcons. Like New England, Atlanta took care of business Sunday as they claimed the NFC crown with a decisive 44-21 win over the Green Bay Packers, snapping their eight game winning streak.
In this upcoming Super Bowl, the ramifications for Brady and head coach Bill Belichick's legacies are far higher than usual. The two have been the catalysts of the Patriots success since their arrival, and have a chance to put themselves in a class of their own by adding another Super Bowl victory to their resumes.
For Brady, a potential fifth Super Bowl win next Sunday would make him the winningest quarterback in NFL history, surpassing Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw who each had four Super Bowl victories. Given this, one more Super Bowl victory for Brady would secure his status as the greatest quarterback in NFL history in many people's eyes.
On the flip side, Belichick can become the winningest coach in Super Bowl history. He is currently tied with the late Chuck Noll, former Steelers coach, with four Super Bowl victories. This tremendous quarterback-coach tandem can certainly make history like we have never seen in the NFL's 97 year history in this upcoming Super Bowl.
Nothing would satisfy Brady and Patriot fans more than having their 2017 campaign conclude with commissioner Roger Goodell, who imposed a four game suspension on Tom Brady this season for the DeflateGate scandal, hand him and the New England Patriots the Lombardi Trophy following triumph over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI.

How do WTO disputes work?
EXPLAINERS: Concepts in 300 Words or Less
The United States recently won a significant trade dispute against China over price supports for Chinese rice, wheat, and corn producers. It was a significant victory for a Trump administration that has heavily criticized the World Trade Organization's dispute procedures.
What is a trade dispute? And how does the WTO process work?
Disputes arise when one country claims that a trade partner's policies are discriminatory. Discriminatory polices include tariffs as well as a wide set of non-tariff barriers. In WTO parlance, discrimination is anything that may "nullify or impair" the benefits of membership.
The dispute process begins with a mandatory consultation period. The WTO encourages countries to work out their differences before convening a panel of trade experts—i.e., before "going to court."
Importantly, any bargains struck during consultations—called "mutually agreeable solutions"—are private. The idea is that privacy promotes compromise. Just like out-of-court settlement in many domestic legal settings, disputants can strike a deal without publishing the terms of that deal (or admitting guilt).
If consultations fail, then a panel is convened. Panels are composed of trade experts who hear the details of the dispute and issue a formal decision (a "panel report").
Depending on how one measures outcomes, defendants almost always lose at the panel stage (92 percent).
Given the high rate of losing, it is no coincidence that many cases are then sent up to the WTO's Appellate Body (AB).
The AB almost always upholds the panel decision. However, it exercises a great degree of "judicial economy." That means the AB only rules on issues viewed as absolutely central to the case, often leaving many issues without a formal determination.
The AB report is typically the WTO's final decision. However, countries are sometimes slow to implement the terms of an adverse ruling. If plaintiffs feel that a defendant has failed to comply, they can push the dispute into implementation proceedings—a legal process by which the WTO reviews whether the defendant dismantled discriminatory barriers.
The entire process can take anywhere from a few months to many years. About 25 percent of cases are settled early, about 50 percent are ruled on, and the remaining 25 percent as essentially "dropped" without a formal conclusion.
The above description contains several simplifications in the interest of brevity. The WTO's fuller, more technical explanation of the dispute process is available here. An analysis of Trump's argument about the US at the WTO can be found here.

Domestic violence cases up 21% since lockdown
Law officers roped in to counsel victims, kin
Updated At: May 22, 2020 07:13 AM (IST)
Chandigarh, May 21
State law officers have been engaged by the government to counsel families where crime against women, including domestic violence, is being reported during the lockdown period.
Official figures reveal 21 per cent increase in the number of crime against women in the state, with 700 cases of domestic violence alone. The number of cases has risen from 4,709 to 5,695 since March, with domestic violence cases going up from 3,287 to 3,993 during the lockdown period.
Deputy Advocate General Deepika Deshwal, who is engaged in counselling of the victims, said women after being subjected to domestic violence suffered from depression and anxiety.
"During lockdown, I had been allocated the charge of women and child affairs in the state. Now, all complaints are being monitored through daily diary reports being shared by deputy commissioners of police on a daily basis. We are getting complaints of lactating mothers being separated from their newborns after domestic violence," she said.

Take off the kid gloves: dualism is a pseudoscience
We non-believers are pretty good about calling out religious people who subscribe to young-Earth creationism or 'intelligent design'. They're pseudosciences — bolstered with arguments often couched in scientific-sounding language, but ultimately not just unsupported by data but in stark, irreconcilable conflict with the data we do have. For some reason, most of us are a lot easier on dualists — those who insist the mind is somehow independent of the brain. Granted, there's always neuroscientist and skeptic Steve Novella, who definitely doesn't pull any punches , but a firm condemnation of dualism just isn't quite as prevalent in the public community of skeptics and non-believers as arguments against evolution deniers. Maybe it's because the mind sciences — neurobiology, neurocomputation, and cognitive science — are a bit more esoteric. They're characterized by a somewhat obscure lexicon that doesn't always lend itself to concisely packaged argum


My interests range from working in therapy with students who are managing presenting concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, phase of life transitions, and relationship issues. In addition, I am passionate about helping students identify diagnostic clarification and resources via assessment services. It is rewarding to help students and their families identify resources and strategies to manage and clarify symptoms.
My therapeutic approach involves personal validation and acceptance. Clients are the experts on their own lives and I utilize a collaborative relationship within therapy and assessment. In therapy I utilize strategies from a mindfulness, Cognitive-Behavioral approach, Dialectical-Behavior approach, and humanistic techniques.
I believe that mental health issues are a vital part of managing wellness. Our minds and bodies are interconnected. My approach to helping clients incorporates taking care of your mental and physical health so that you feel your best and are able to overcome the stressful obstacles in everyday life.In addition, I believe that when working with a client it is important to consider the whole person including all aspects of that person. This might include personal characteristics, cultural experiences, and personal life experiences.

The activity inside Ashland High School's metal fabrication building Tuesday afternoon mirrored a classic science fiction tale.
Several goggle-bound students scurried about furiously, tools in hand, performing a variety of tasks: drilling, shaping, connecting, programming.
All for the sake of bringing a suitcase-sized mechanical creature to life.
But unlike the villains in vintage sci-fi yarns, the students on Ashland's FIRST Robotics team were not bent on world domination. They wanted their four-wheeled robot to be able to balance on a bridge and maybe sink a basketball shot or two.
On March 9, the team will join 66 others from Oregon, Washington, California, Alaska, Hawaii and Mexico at the FIRST Robotics competition at Portland's Memorial Coliseum. FIRST is a nonprofit organization founded by inventor and entrepreneur Dean Kamen to encourage young people to be involved in science and technology.
"It's just essentially a bunch of nerds with varying opinions getting together and coming up with a solid idea," Ami Cooper, 18, said of her Ashland High School team.
And these nerds have a decent shot at qualifying for the national competition. They were close last year, and this year they're determined to clinch it. The team has met in the metal fabrication room several days a week after searching for a spot to work on completing their competitor.
It's the movie "Real Steel" in real life.
The six-week rush to finish the robot started Jan. 7 at the FIRST official unveiling of this year's event. At the event, organizers let students know what the 2012 competition challenge would be.
The competition could be viewed as a hybrid sporting event, combining basketball and gymnastics. Teams of three will be tasked with shooting baskets on a basketball court while defending their own basket in a round robin-style tournament. Bonus points may be scored by teams whose robot can balance on a bridge.
The balancing act is primarily what Ashland's team, purposely dubbed "My Favorite Team," is banking on for a majority of its points. Their robot's throwing arm hasn't been cooperating and has been through several redesigns.
The robot as a whole is a four-wheeled machine with each wheel powered by a separate motor. It's got a Wi-Fi receiver on board so the robot's pilot can wirelessly maneuver it with twin joysticks — "tank steering" — off the court. The machine's brain, a computer called a cRio, is mounted securely beneath a sea of wires and servos.
Junior Matthew Knudsen, 17, has been lead engineer on the project. It's a natural fit — since childhood, he's torn things apart and put them back together. Legos and Erector Sets were staple playthings. It's his third year on the team, and he's still learning the down-to-the-wire nature of deadlines.
"We've been about as efficient as we can be," Knudsen said.
Sophomore Peter Bach, also on the school's water polo and wrestling teams, comes from a similar background. He assists his dad in his machine shop and builds remote control and model cars.
"I just like to build stuff," Bach said. "I'm not really good with the computer thing."
But team software programmer Ari Falkner, 15, is. When he's not developing an Android smartphone app for Ashland High's website or studying, he's devoting time to writing code for My Favorite Team's robot. When the team kicked off its project, he endured some five-hour sessions writing the digital commands.
Not that he minded. He's been interested in programming since he was 5 years old when his dad told him about Bill Gates and how his interests led to wealth and huge advances in technology.
Falkner said he messed around with Adobe Flash programming for a while before making the transition to more serious code. Being on this team has developed his skill set, he said.
"I've learned so much," Falkner said. "It's given me a good taste in electrical engineering."
Allowing this group of 16 teens to flourish in this way is key to why FIRST Robotics is an important one, said coach and adviser Paul Moen. His son, 16-year-old Nick, a senior, is on the team for his third year, but Paul plans to continue to coach next year when he's not there.
"It's an outlet for these really smart kids," Moen said. "They get along famously. They're all friends."

Prominent and First Class Yoruba traditional ruler in Osun State, The Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi has adopted the full Emir regalia and abadoned his usual Yoruba attire.
The monarch has also banished some idols, particular the popular one that has been in the palace since time immemorial. Oba Akanbi relocated the palace popular idol to another shrine in the town, making there its new abode.
In a chat with Daily Trust, the traditional ruler said Iwo is the home of Islamic scholars and that he could be regarded as an Emir.
The monarch said his decision to adopt Emir regalia was to show the whole world that Iwo is an Islamic ancient town and that the turban is part of his paraphernalia of office.
When I was made the Oluwo of Iwo, I was turbaned.
It is because Iwo is an Islamic ancient town. Iwo was known as 'geri malami, meaning: the home of the scholars. So, this regalia is appropriate for me as the Oluwo.
On the reason he banished the idols and relocated the palace popular idol, Oluwo said the palace was meant for the monarch alone and that the idol cannot be sharing space with him in the palace.
As the monarch, I'm superior to the idols and it cannot be competing with me in the palace. I have taken that idol my palace to where it belong. Those who may want to worship the idols can meet them there, not in my palace. As you can see, there is a mosque in the palace and we can worship the God Almighty there.
Meanwhile, the monarch has been the talk of town because of his recent decision which has been the major discussion across the state.
However, majority of the indigenes of Iwo has applauded the Oluwo for his action and pledged their full supports for him.


Benefits of Foam Rollers Just because you never experience any pain after running, it does not always mean that all is well. The need to use foam rollers cannot be overlooked. Fascia mobility is a major aspect when it comes to the benefits of foam rolling. Fascia is basically connective tissue that surrounds different muscle groups in your body. Mobility is negatively affected whenever fascia fibers cross link, thus making them attach to muscles and fibers. There are more benefits to enjoy if foam rolling is performed prior to stretching. Research shows that there is an increased hip range of motion when foam rolling is combined with stretching. Due to the increment in both muscle temperature and blood flow, there is a big improvement in flexibility. This result proved that it is important to couple stretching with foam rolling for a good result. Rumble foam rollers are a good way to keep your fascia healthy. Fascia is repeatedly getting synthesized throughout the human body. Whenever there is inappropriate pattern formation of fascia fibers, there is a high risk of suffering pains and motion inhibition. Proper formation of fascia patterns can at times be interfered by everyday tasks such as carrying cargo, as well as remaining seated for hours at the office. Good news is that foam rollers offer a perfect solution for any scar tissue formation that may interfere with proper functioning.
Tissue mobility is an important aspect after you sustain injuries reason being new fascia now comes in form of scar tissue. In case the scar tissue fails to get broken up, it could result in problems in days to come since an injury that happened months ago can be a source of tissue mobility issues. There are cases where people think of issues like hamstring tightness, sore knee, among others as being caused by exercise, not knowing the culprit is an injury in the past that is affecting tissue mobility.
There is tremendous improvement in muscle performance with regular use of foam rollers. The more flexible a muscle is, the more it can generate power, thanks to the increment in elastic energy. If your muscles are able to stretch appropriately, they have the ability to store more power that will result in more force output. Flexibility decrease on the other hand causes power reduction on the grounds that your muscles are not able to amass enough energy. You will find an athlete using the best foam rollers for the reason that they know this is among the best ways to perform excellently. The use of foam rollers is increasing as days go by. This is in no way surprising for the reason that people now know of the many advantages in the offing. Making foam rolling a habit will go a long way in ensuring you appreciate all that is talked about above.

The film will star Kiko Mizuhara (left) as Rei and Honami Satō (right) as Nanae. Ryūichi Hiroki is directing the film, Nami Kikkawa is penning the screenplay, and Haruomi Hosono is performing the theme song.
The manga centers on a woman who asks another woman who is in love with her to kill her abusive husband. The manga then follows the two women on the run after the murder.
The manga launched in Kodansha 's Morning two magazine and ran for 13 installments, before being suddenly removed from the magazine in 2009. The manga then resumed in Shogakukan 's Ikki magazine in April 2010. The manga ended in Ikki in 2012 with three volumes.
Part of the manga is available in English for free on Nakamura's Note website, and Nakamura is planning an e-book of the manga's first volume.

Fish to benefit if large dams adopt new operating approach
UW News - Michelle Ma
Dams and fish have never been best friends.
Thousands of dams built along U.S. rivers and streams over the last century now provide electricity for homes, store water for agriculture and support recreation for people. But they also have significant downstream impacts: They reduce the amount and change the timing of flowing water that fish rely on for spawning, feeding and migration.

Recognizing that many large dams are here to stay, a University of Washington team is investigating an emerging solution to help achieve freshwater conservation goals by re-envisioning the ways in which water is released by dams. The hope is that "designer flows" downstream from dams can be tailored to meet the water needs of humans while simultaneously promoting the success of native fishes over undesirable invasive fish species.
The team's approach is described in a paper appearing Dec. 18 in Nature Communications.
"Rapidly changing water availability demands new dam management strategies to deliver water downstream that balances human and ecosystem needs," said senior author Julian Olden, a UW professor of aquatic and fishery sciences. "So, the question is whether designer flows can be engineered to meet human water demands, and take advantage of mismatches between native and nonnative species' responses to flow to provide the greatest conservation benefit."
The researchers examined the designer flow concept in the San Juan River, a major tributary to the Colorado River that flows through parts of Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. Every drop of water is significant in this arid landscape, and along the river's roughly 380-mile length, the mighty 402-foot Navajo Dam is impossible to ignore. The river is home to at least eight native fish species, but over the years a number of invasive fish species have also taken up residence, including predatory channel catfish, red shiner and common carp.
By integrating multiple decades' worth of data about dam operations, river hydrology and fish species abundance into a multi-objective model, the researchers were able to identify specific water-release schedules that benefitted native fish over the invasive fish — while still ensuring that all of the domestic and agriculture needs that rely on the San Juan River's water are met.
"We were also pleased to discover that our model predicts that the ecological benefits of designer flow releases do not evaporate during times of drought," Olden said.
This method can guide water management in any river with large dams, Olden said. It's particularly relevant in more arid regions of the American Southwest where water is at a premium, but major rivers like the Columbia or the Mississippi, which are similarly peppered with dams, also could have their dams programmed to release water in ways that aim to benefit both humans and freshwater ecosystems.
The key to the researchers' approach is capitalizing on the fact that invasive fishes have only a recent evolutionary history in these river systems. Consequently, important life events of invasive fishes — such as spawning and habitat use — show slightly different relationships to patterns in streamflow compared with native fishes. The designer flows in their study exploited these small differences to identify dam releases during certain times of the year that would benefit native fishes and be detrimental to invasive fishes.
These tailored water releases are not trying to mimic the natural flow of a river before it was dammed, but rather emphasize the most important flow events for native fish in an altered river system, the researchers explained. According to their model, water releases in the San Juan River should occur in late winter, late summer and mid-autumn to get the best outcomes for native fishes over invasive ones.
While both designer and natural flows were predicted to be beneficial for native fishes, they found that designer flows could lead to double the loss of invasive fishes in the river, compared with a dam-release scenario that mimicked natural water flows, before the dam existed. Occasionally, dammed rivers will flush a deluge of water downstream, attempting to mimic natural river flows — but with mixed success for fish. This study suggests that such efforts could be better optimized.
This work is still in the modeling phase, and the researchers want to look next at how these water-release practices could potentially benefit other aspects of dammed river systems, such as restoring shoreline vegetation, benefiting aquatic insects and even bolstering river recreation by manipulating the water releases to encourage formation of large sandbars. Ultimately, the researchers hope to test their designer flows in a real river system, in cooperation with dam operators, engineers and water users.
"Let's be honest: Carefully tweaking dam operations all year round to implement a designer flow regime would require a giant leap of faith, but anything new we do in water resource management involves some risk," Olden said. "If we don't try, we'll never know how much better we actually could do."
The paper's lead author is William Chen, a recent graduate of the UW's School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences and the Quantitative Ecology and Resource Management Program.
The study was funded by the National Science Foundation's Graduate Research Fellowship Program and Olden's H. Mason Keeler Endowed Professorship.

The Power Of Bloging/Best Strategies To Get Traffic 2; This is the continuation of my last post so keep a close atention because this is getting very interesting. Pillar content is what essentially holds your blog together.
It forms a strong foundation (just as the term implies) that encourages visitor interaction through comments and feedback, but also through sharing. These are the kind of articles and content that go viral. People just can't help themselves – they want to share it with everyone they know.
Aim for 5 hot pieces of content, to start. Then, build from there. These 5 articles (or videos, Infographics or other content formats) will form your pillar/foundation.
If you do your job of creating killer content that will appeal to majority of your audience, you'll be that much closer to becoming sticky. This will require research!
You need to focus on THE hottest topics in your market such as: answering the burning questions from those in your niche, provide an alternative perspective on a topic or a new way to solve a problem/complete a task.
In order to convert visitors into leads, you need to first identify your traffic sources and qualify that traffic.
Too many bloggers are focusing on driving traffic to their website, regardless of the source. In reality, it's the quality of your traffic that really makes a difference in your ability to convert that traffic into leads.
Think about it: If you are sending a swarm of untargeted, irrelevant traffic to your website that is comprised of people who aren't interested in the kind of content you are offering, what's the point? Those people aren't going to be interested in your content, your recommendations or your products.
You won't be able to convert this traffic no matter what you do.
So, the key is to start with pinpointing and evaluating your Traffic Sources. You need to identity the prime avenues of traffic in your market and tap into that targeted network of relevant leads.
For example, if your blog is within the Internet Marketing, entrepreneurship, or self-starter's business niche, you might find qualified traffic from related business forums where new business owners and marketers go for help in getting started.
If your blog is focused on clean eating, LCHF, weight loss or fitness, you will likely find a strong source of traffic in self-improvement communities, social media sites searching for relevant keywords (#weightloss #lchf), and again, forums. (Forums are truly an incredible source of quality traffic in any niche because it's basically a community of prospects hanging out, looking for and sharing very specific information).
By identifying premium traffic sources that you can funnel into your blog, you have cut your work in half. No longer are you trying to convert unknown traffic into leads.
Instead, you already have identified that the majority of your traffic is coming from relevant sources, leaving you free to put your time and energy into providing exceptional value that will push those leads into becoming customers.
Drive In Even More Traffic.
This also comes down to knowing your audience. When you keep a pulse on your market, you will not only know exactly what your prospects are looking for and most interested in, but you'll also stay up to date with current trends and hot topics that you can feature on your blog in order to drive in even more traffic.
In the next chapter, I'll show you a few fast and easy strategies that will help you flood your blog with highly-targeted traffic that will convert.
Well that is all for today, soon i will be posting part tree of: The Power Of Blogging/Best Strategies To Get Traffic.

National Register Nomination
National Register Nomination for the Shelburne Falls Area
Using a combination of local funds and a state historic preservation grant, the Town of Shelburne has hired a consultant, Brian Knight of Brian Knight Research, (BKR) to complete a National Register of Historic Places Nomination for the Shelburne Falls area of Shelburne village. The objective of this project is to produce a "Final Draft" of the Nomination (a preliminary draft was completed several years ago by a team of graduate students at the University of Vermont). Specific duties to be carried out by Brian Knight Research include reviewing existing documentation, filling in gaps, revising and mapping the district boundaries, digitally re-photographing resources, and updating and transferring information to the most current version of the National Register of Historic Places registration form.
To date, Brian Knight Research has completed a literature review, conducted archival research, photographed buildings, and prepared a revised draft of the National Register Nomination. Brian Knight has also attended two meetings of the Historic Preservation and Design Review Commission (HPDRC) and conducted extensive field research. A meeting with property owners and residents of the Shelburne Falls area is being planned for January or early February. A larger scale Community meeting is being planned for a short time later.
To learn more about the project please contact the Shelburne Planning and Zoning and Office at 802- 985-5118 or by sending email to Dean Pierce.

The T-34 was an extremely successful tank design, being in production from 1940 onwards, and being the second most widely produced tank of all time (interestingly, the most widely produced was its successor, the T-55). Even as recently as 1996, a total of 27 countries were still operating T-34 tanks in their armed forces. Equally successful is Dragon's 1/35 scale range of T-34/76 tanks. The newcomer in the range is a Model 1941 version with a cast turret. As Germany waged war on the Soviet Union, a number of improvements and simplifications were necessary to speed up production. One important change was this cast turret introduced in 1941.
It's not an easy shape to capture in 3D in plastic, but Dragon has beautifully captured the form of this cast turret with its three-directional slide mold. This allows the complete turret to be manufactured in one piece, just like the original item. The accurate turret rendering is due in large part to the efforts of a Japanese master sculptor, who realistically recreated the texture, dimensions and shape of the real McCoy. However, this exciting new T-34/76 kit doesn't just boast a new cast turret, for it includes a whole range of accurate parts such as an aluminum gun barrel, photo-etched engine deck grills, and numerous slide-molded plastic components. This latest T-34/76 kit will be another success for sure!


I'd actually forgotten that I usually post one of these on New Year's Eve.
So it's gon' be a rushed disappointment.
If only we could say the same about 2018, because goddamn, did it feel long.
Cheryl will always do red on red.
Which is one of the few constants of 2017.
Did you know I only posted four movie reviews last year? And one of them was a CBF Review.
I never said I wasn't a couch potato.
We don't talk about 2016.
Except for now. And only very briefly.
