Shatil Meets the Hadassah Foundation Board
We had a special visitor at the Hadassah Foundation's Board Meeting last week--Naomi Schacter (pictured, at center, back row), Shatil's associate director, came by to meet the Board and talk about the challenges faced by women in Israel. We covered a broad set of issues--from the difficulties faced by women who want to marry and divorce free of religious coercion, to the challenges faced by contract workers. Thanks, Naomi, for a fascinating talk!
Shopping for a Good Cause--Foundation Event at the New Rebecca Minkoff Store
Last night, friends of the Hadassah Foundation shopped with a purpose at a great event at the new Rebecca Minkoff store in Soho! We got to view Rebecca's latest designs, and a portion of all sales were donated to the Foundation. Many thanks to Rebecca Minkoff, pictured above, alongside her aunt, Foundation Board Member Debbie Minkoff, for opening her store to us, and for even signing some purses! More pictures from the event can be viewed here.

10 Current and Former Hadassah Foundation Grantees in #Slingshot1415!
We are very excited to announce that 10 current and former Hadassah Foundation grantees have been cited as being among the most innovative organizations in the Jewish community in the latest edition of the Slingshot Guide!
Current grantee AVODAH was once again on its national list of the most innovative groups; past grantees Hazon, Keshet, Mayim Hayim, Moving Traditions, and Yeshivat Maharat also made the list. Like last year, Slingshot once lifted up the accomplishments of feminist groups for its separate Women and Girls supplement. Past grantees the Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance, the Jewish Women's Archive, Lillith Magazine, and Shalom Bayit were named to this list.
Congrats to them all!
A full list of all the organizations in the Slingshot 14-15 guide, including the Women and Girls supplement, can be found here.
Shatil Visits the Hadassah Foundation
Today, we had the good fortune to meet with Foundation grantee New Israel Fund--Shatil. Naomi Schacter, the associate director of Shatil (above, left) told us about the progress of a Foundation-funded initative to convince the Israeli government to support local, women's cooking cooperatives as the providers of school lunches in poor communities. Several years ago, the government began to pay for hot school lunches in the "periphery." Shatil and its allies are working to ensure that local women get their fair share of these government contracts.

CWJ Fighting for Rights of Lesbian Seeking Divorce
The Center for Women's Justice, a Hadassah Foundation grantee in Jerusalem, is reporting that a rabbinic court in Israel is making a women's get (a religious divorce) contingent on the woman, who is attempting to divorce a man, keeping her children away from her female partner. Civil divorce, like civil marriage, is not an option in Israel.

The Hadassah Foundation's 2014 Grants
We are excited to announce the full list of grants that the Hadassah Foundation has made in 2014! With this latest set of grants, we have awarded approximately $6.25 million to nearly 75 organizations in Israel and the United States since 2000.

Jewish Women of Tomorrow at the Hadassah Convention
The Hadassah Foundation was excited to organize a session about Jewish women of tomorrow at the Hadassah national convention in Las Vegas last week! Our fabulous panel was moderated by Deborah Meyer, the director of our former grantee, Moving Traditions (pictured on the left); Talya Husbands-Hankin, a consultant to another former grantee, Keshet (pictured second from right) was also on the panel. Other session participants included a student at the local Jewish day school, and a member of the Hillel board at UNLV.
Hadassah Foundation at Hadassah's National Convention
The Hadassah Foundation is having a good showing at Hadassah's national convention in Las Vegas! Today, Board Member Lonye Rasch (center, above) and Director Rabbi Ellen Flax (to Lonye's left) spoke at a session about how Hadassah empowers women around the world, with a focus on the Foundation's grant making in Israel.
A Breakthrough for Gender Auditing in Israel
Our grantee, the Adva Center, reports this good news:
A campaign begun 10 years ago by the Adva Center to convince the Israel Finance Ministry that it should undertake a gender audit of the national budget, for the purpose of increasing gender equality, as well as budget transparency and efficiency, saw a breakthrough in October 2013, when the Minister of Finance appointed a national committee to examine that very possibility. The Adva Center provided professional consulting services to the committee.
On June 25, 2014, another milestone was reached, when the committee submitted its interim report. The Committee recommended that government ministries undertake gender audits of their own expenditures, and that the State Revenues Authority undertake a gender audit of state revenues, beginning with the national budget for fiscal 2015.
Gender mainstreaming, which includes gender auditing of budgets, is a strategy for improving the status of women in society. It involves examining whether a particular program or budget, which is assumed to be gender neutral, actually has a differential effect on women and men, then changing the program or budget so that it contributes to greater gender equality.
Adva Center brought the strategy of gender mainstreaming to Israel in 2004, when it created the Women's Budget Forum, a coalition of 30 women's and human rights organizations which began to work for women's fair share of government spending. This strategy is recommended by the European Union and has been implemented in many European countries, including those of Scandinavia, Germany, Austria and Spain. (It is also a strategy that was funded by the Hadassah Foundation.)
The Committee for Gender Auditing the National Budget of Israel delivered its interim report in late June, at the Knesset, at a meeting of the Knesset Committee for Promotion of the Status of Women, chaired by MK Dr. Aliza Lavie. The Committee recommended that government ministries undertake gender audits of their own expenditures, and that the State Revenues Authority undertake a gender audit of state revenues, beginning with the budget for fiscal 2015. The Committee also instructed the Budget Department of the Finance Ministry and the Office of the Prime Minister to prepare a Gender Audit Guide. The Adva Center was informed that its gender experts will be involved in creation of the Guide. Finally, the Committee recommended that a gender audit be included in the official, published budget book of each government ministry.
Hadassah Foundation Seeking Proposals for the Empowerment of Israeli Women
The Hadassah Foundation has issued a Request for Proposals for Israeli organizations working to help low-income women in Israel achieve economic independence. Grants of up to $25,000 will be awarded for programs that provide training in savings, asset development, and pension planning for women; grassroots resources and training for women; legal and policy advocacy; business development services that help women who own businesses improve their outreach and marketing; and leadership development initiatives that increase the number and capacity of women in positions of leadership. The foundation rarely funds entrepreneurship or financial planning programs that take place in only one location, and rarely invests directly in a cooperative or other business. To be eligible, organizations must have amutah or mossad tziburi status.
For complete program guidelines, information about previous grant recipients, and application instructions, visit the Hadassah Foundation website. All applications are due by July 30, 2014.
Yifat Bitton is 2014 Tannenbaum Prize Awardee!
The Hadassah Foundation is thrilled to announce that Dr. Yifat Bitton, the founder, chairperson, and senior attorney at Tmura—The Israeli Antidiscrimination Center, which fights for the rights of women who have suffered sexual, physical, and economic abuse, has been named this year's winner of the Bernice S. Tannenbaum Prize! Tmura is a two-time grantee of the Foundation; it is currently receiving funds for a project to combat economic abuse against women in Israel.
You can read all about Dr. Bitton's achievements at ow.ly/xAckN.
Mazel tov to Dr. Bitton and to Tmura!
Director of Yedid Wins Rappaport Prize
Last week, the Hadassah Foundation was excited to host Sari Revkin (pictured above, on the left), the Executive Director of Yedid, one our grantees.
But the excitement extended beyond hearing about the latest developments at the Jerusalem-based Yedid, which, through a Foundation grant, is helping women assert their economic rights in Israel. This spring, Sari was awarded the "Women Change-Maker" prize by The Rappaport Family Trust and La'Isha Magazine, a 120,000 Israeli Shekel award (approximately $35,000) for a woman who has created change in the public, social, or economic sphere in Israel.
Under her leadership, Yedid has assisted thousands of families from low-income and other vulnerable populations to break free from the cycle of poverty, access their rights, and secure their futures in Israel.
Mazel tov!
Jewish Women's Funds Gather for Force for Change
More than a dozen Jewish women's funds from across the country, as well as the Dafna Fund from Israel, gathered together to discuss communalities and how they can better work together. Many of our conversations focussed on how we can work together to further women's leadership in the Jewish community. The Hadassah Foundation's founding chair, Barbara Dobkin, has generously supported this gathering for many years, believing there is greater power in the groups working together.
Shutafot Exhibit Showcases Economic Inequality for Israeli Women
Shutafot, a coalition comprised of some of the leading feminist organizations in Israel, is "drawing" attention to economic inequality. This Foundation grantee recently ran a poster competition to illustrate this issue, and a panel of experts selected the finalists and semi-finalists, all of which are currently on display at the upscale Dizengoff shopping center in Tel Aviv. Ronit Piso, who directs the coalition, is pictured above, next to the posters on display at the shopping mall. Hear Ronit talk about her favorite poster in the exhibition here. The Hadassah Foundation supports Shutafot via the Jewish Women's Collaborative International Fund, a coalition of 17 Jewish women's foundations and funds in the U.S. and Israel.
Hadassah Foundation and Hadassah Leadership Fellows Visit Van Leer Institute
Hadassah's Leadership Fellows (pictured above)--Hadassah new program for younger women with leadership potential--today visited the Van Leer Institute, a Hadassah Foundation grantee. The Institute's Naomi Chazan described their gender index, which is supported by the Foundation and measures gender inequality in many areas in Israel.
Making Sense of Israel's Pension System
Barbara Swirski, the director of the Tel Aviv-based think- and action-tank, the Adva Center, has long championed work that improves the economic gender imbalance in Israel. On the computer screen next to Barbara, above, is the prototype of a Hadassah Foundation-funded guide for women trying to make sense of Israel's pension system--there is no other source of unbiased information for women. After the guide is completed, Adva is using Foundation funds to create a series of animated films about women and pension issues. This is work is particularly important because Israel created a 401k-style pension program for virtually all workers several years ago. Women, who are disproportionately likely to engage in low-wage and contract work, have fewer viable investing choices available to them than full time and well-paid workers.
Fighting for the Rights of Israeli Preschool Teachers
The Hadassah Foundation is proud of its long partnership with the Israeli feminist legal group Itach-Maaki. Among its many priorities is fighting for the rights of ultra-Orthodox preschool teachers, who are grossly underpaid. Their director, Keren Shemesh-Perlmutter, is pictured above.
Giving Career Alternatives to Women Exiting Prostitution
Turning the Tables is a Tel Aviv-based group that is helping women exit the sex trades by offering them alternative careers in the fashion industry. Their studio, pictured above, along with their Director, Lilach Tzur Ben Moshe, is a hub of activity. Women take sewing and design lessons, create clothes (on the rack besides Lilach) that can be sold, or engage in sewing piecework for pay. Other groups in Israel provide social services for this vulnerable population, but this is the only organization focusing on alternative career choices.
Watch Lilach describe some of clothes that program participants have designed here.
Jewish Intercultural Center Helping E. Jerusalem Health Workers Pass Certification Exams
East Jerusalem residents typically study at colleges and universities in the West Bank or Jordan. For those who study in the allied health professions, such as nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy and want to work in their home community, where there is a shortage of qualified Arabic speaking health professions, passing the mandatory Israeli Ministry of Health certification exams can be challenging, since their studies do not always align with the content of the exams. With funding from the Hadassah Foundation, the Jerusalem Intercultural Center has developed test-preparation courses for these professionals, the majority of whom are female. Above, three members of the first class of nursing students who passed the certification exam with the help of JICC lead a tour of their workplace, Murkassed Hospital in East Jerusalem.
NCJW and Hebrew U. Providing Employment Training for Ultra-Orthodox Women
Today, at the National Council of Jewish Women's (NCJW) Research Institute for Innovation in Education at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, there was a milestone ceremony: the first group of ultra-Orthodox women trained by the Institute for careers in early-childhood outreach "graduated" from the program. The Hadassah Foundation, which funded the training program, was on hand to present the certificates of completion to the participants (pictured above.) Israeli municipalities with large ultra-Orthodox populations have expressed an interest in hiring these women, who have traditionally not participated in the workforce despite high levels of poverty in the ultra-Orthodox sector.
WAV: Helping Arab-Israeli Women with Degrees Get Appropriate Jobs
Due to a number of reasons--including discrimination and a lack of transportation and child care options in Arab villages and towns, many Israeli Arab women with college degrees are un- or under-employed. New Foundation grantee WAV (Women Against Violence) is a Nazareth-based group (their leaders are pictured above) that is working to maximize the potential of this population group. They work with college-educated women on their resumes and interview skills; simultaneously, they pressure the government to create programs and policies that will help this group. You can hear Aida Touma-Sliman, WAV,s Executive Director, discuss how the Hadassah Foundation is helping this effort here.
WEPOWER Helps Newly Elected Israeli Female Council Members
WEPOWER, a new Hadassah Foundation grantee, supports women thinking about running for office in Israel, as well as those just elected. They are a non-partisan group. They are providing training to a group of newly-elected city councilwomen from across Israel's southern region (pictured above) so they can be more effective public officials. At yesterday's training session in Beersheva, the group learned about the ways that women can improve their negotiating skills when promoting social change.
You can hear from Mina Kalman Haddad, a new city councilwoman from Beersheva who is participating in the training here.
Latet Atid Aiding Female-Owned Microenterprises
The Foundation's visit to Israel began with a trip to Beersheva, to visit several female-owned enterprises aided by Latet Atid (to give a future.) Latet provides each aspiring business owner (who must have a family income within +/- 5% of the Israeli poverty level) with a mentor (an experienced business consultant) along with a loan of up to $10,000. Above, Irena poses with her home-based cosmetology office, which was paid for by the loan, along side Doron, a mentor. Michal, also pictured above, a manicurist, plies her trade in a home office renovated via a Latet loan.
Breakfast Meeting at JFN
The Hadassah Foundation, along with the National Conference of Jewish Women, sponsored a breakfast meeting with Tziona Koenig-Yair (pictured at right), the head of Israel's EEOC at the Jewish Funders Network meeting today. She discussed a new tool that Israeli companies can use--developed by her office--that can help them measure pay gaps between men and women in their employ.
Hadassah Foundation at JFN
So proud that Idit Klein (left), the director of Keshet, a former Foundation grantee, spoke so convincingly today at the Jewish Funders Network conference about the need for "choice" in the Jewish community and the acceptance of formerly marginalized groups, such as LGBTQ Jews!
Our New RFP for US Grants
The Hadassah Foundation is now seeking proposals for projects, curricula, and training programs that will enhance the leadership capacity of Jewish girls and young women ages 12--30 in the United States. The Foundation anticipates that this will continue to be the focus of its American grant making in 2015, and potentially in 2016 as well. All applications, to be submitted by email only, are due by March 28, 2014. The grant term will be July 1, 2014--June 30, 2015. Complete guidelines, as well as the cover sheet and project budget sheet that all applicants are required to use, can be downloaded here or here.
Stopping Work to Stop Gender Inequality in Israel
Last month, under the aegis of our grantee, Shutafot, hundreds of women across Israel took a coordinated "break" in the name of gender and economic justice. During this 15-minute work stoppage, the women educated their fellow workers about the myriad forms of discrimination that Israeli women face in the workforce, and encouraged them to sign a petition calling for the end of this inequality.
You can read a full account of the campaign here.
Shutafot is a coalition comprised of six leading women's organization's in Israel (including several Hadassah Foundation grantees.) It is funded by The Jewish Women's Collaborative International Fund (JWCIF) which is comprised of seventeen Jewish Women's Foundations/Funds of North America and Israel, including the Hadassah Foundation.
Back in April, the Hadassah Foundation board visited Israel, including its grantee Yedid. During that visit, we learned about (and blogged about) a client of theirs--a graphic designer--who was fired by her employer when they found out that she was pregnant.
Yedid has just told us that as of last week, they had won their case. The fired worker received 30,000 NIS (about $8,600) in compensation. Congratulations!
Looking for an Amazing Emerging Feminist Leader!
The Hadassah Foundation will be awarding its annual Bernice S. Tannenbaum Prize on June 10th, and we need your help to solicit applications for the Prize. As in previous years, the Prize will be awarded to an emerging leader in the field of serving Jewish girls and young women in the U.S., or to an emerging leader in the field of women's economic empowerment in Israel; we will accept nominations from current/former Foundation grantees as well as from organizations that have not received a grant from us to-date. Ideally, we are looking for someone with less than about 15 years of professional experience.
All (electronic-only) applications are due by Friday, February 7th, 2014. More information can be found here.

Ban Tech agency strikes rights deal for Bangladesh-West Indies series

Cricket - 07 Jan 2021
Author: Euan Cunningham
The Bangladesh Cricket Board has sold broadcast rights for its upcoming home series against the West Indies to Ban Tech, a local marketing agency, for a reported $2.1 million.
The board had set a minimum base price for TV rights to the multi-format series, which starts on 20 January and will comprise three one-day internationals and two test matches, of $1.5 million.
Jalal Yunus, chairman of the BCB's media committee, said: "We are happy with the price for a single tour."
He added that there had been two other broadcasters taking part in the 5 January open bidding process, saying "T-Sports and Gazi TV… the bidding went on for 10 rounds."
Gazi TV was the BCB's last long-term broadcast partner, between May 2014 and April 2020 (for which it paid just over $20 million in total across the six years), while T-Sports recently broadcast a domestic cricket competition.
The ESPNcricinfo website has reported board sources saying that the BCB will wait for the International Cricket Council to release the next Future Tours Programme before looking to sign up a new long-term partner.
No international cricket has taken place in Bangladesh since early 2020, as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting sporting shutdown. The BCB has therefore not had an official broadcast partner since April of last year.
Before Gazi got involved six years ago, the BCB had been selling broadcast rights on a series-by-series basis since 2012.
Media reports have indicated that the BCB is in discussions with FanCode, the Indian digital sports platform, over the company acquiring rights in India to the Bangladesh-West Indies series.

One more rent expended by Jonathan's administration and one wonders how many are left to keep it in power? Professor Attahiru Jega is now [technically] gone. He will not be conducting the 2015 general elections in Nigeria. A 'rent' has been ostensibly 'traded' on the position of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with incalculable implications on the instability and fragility of Nigeria. Will there be any rent offerings to counter possibility of a military coup, eradicate Boko Haram terror and other election or post-election related violence?
Can Prof Nazim Mimiko, the INEC Chairman-in-waiting, conduct the elections in the circumstances we have observed with any credibility? Unfortunately for Mimiko, who may be a thoroughly conscientious worker and exceptionally decent man, if Jonathan wins the elections posterity would judge him as the man brought to 'rig elections for Jonathan'. Nevertheless, someone has to conduct the elections. The electoral quandary now appears to be a problem of special interest groups who stand to lose "assets" if the elections go against them. The simple logic of [ruthless] investment and returns applies here. This is one reason why 'rents' matter.
Winning elections with the very last rents a government rents has to offer may at best recorded for historic purposes and also at best offer a Pyrrhic victory of a derisory kind. Such a strategy often has terrible consequences for democracy; the democracy Nigerians fought so hard to be governed by. Look to such cases as Kwame Nkrumah, Shehu Shagari, David Dacko etc. winning elections did not keep them in power for long after their rents ran out. When rents run out or shrink beyond marginal levels violence occurs and can result in civil war. We saw this happen in Nigeria in 1966. The resulting Civil War (1967-70) is something Nigeria demand amnesia for but it is entrenched in its cultural memory.
Military honour, in a national context, does in the end exceed rents offered in the political economy of a country. Mali is not Nigeria but the 'Tuareg rebellion' similar to 'Boko Haram insurgency', created the raison d'etre of the Malian military for overthrowing democratically elected president Amadou Toure in 2012. Toure went in hiding then pouting into exile. When the so-called "Giant of Africa" in order to contain the senseless menace of Boko Haram has to rely on the military assistance of nations like Chad and Cameroon (no disrespect to those nations) who are not anywhere near contenders for the title "Giant", no Nigerian soldier living or dead or even their foreign and indigenous trainers can take pride in that national embarrassment. Neither can the citizens. I wonder what rents will calm such indignation?
Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, has recently warned against the possibility or attempt at a military coup against Nigeria's democracy and it does not rationally appear to be histrionics. My people say "that which is responsible for a people to rise up against their king and behead him is not a thing of one day or one event". A military coup may be brewing and possible regardless of whether Buhari or Jonathan is victorious in the elections, though even more likely if the later wins. Confidence in democracy in Nigeria at the moment is demoralising. I wonder what rents will eradicate such a possibility?
Claude Ake clearly told Nigerians and the world in general that Nigeria is state united by oil. Oil provides rich rents to the roving bandits who rule Nigeria by obscene state theft. Fighting for the crumbs from the table of these roving bandits is national sport in Nigeria. For a plate of rice and Miranda millions of Nigerians will fight, how about grander offering? The bandits love it that way. However, oil wealth is not a bottomless pit and a Nigeria is always so very vulnerable to oil price shocks. As I said previously when rents run out or shrink seriously can Nigeria's unity hold? Time will tell.
If Boko Haram is routed before the elections take place it will redeem Jonathan in the eyes of many Nigerians or at least give him an edge in the elections and make the postponement seem like a masterstroke. It will not be rent free though. One should ask though, if Boko Haram is routed will it prevent the usual violence of associated with elections?

Joanne S. Marchetta: Tahoe Regional Planning Agency celebrates 50 years
Joanne S. Marchetta
The year was 1969. And what a year it was. On July 20, the Vietnam War was raging and American Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the surface of the moon.
For much of the decade, America and the whole world had been mesmerized by the space race.
The end of the decade brought us the music festivals of Altamont and Woodstock. The hippie counterculture movement was at its zenith and Elvis was still in the building. The iconic Boeing 747 made its inaugural flight from Seattle to New York City. And the Beatles performed for the last time in public on the rooftop of Apple Records in central London. What a year.
As the 60s drew to a close, there was another momentous occasion marking the end of the decade.
In December 1969, President Richard Nixon signed into law the bi-state compact creating the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency. The compact came about as California Governor Ronald Reagan, Nevada Governor Paul Laxalt, and others raised fears that overdevelopment was threatening to destroy Lake Tahoe.
Fifty years later, TRPA remains dedicated to protecting and preserving Lake Tahoe's natural environment. Looking back, we've proven that by working collaboratively, protecting the natural treasure that is Lake Tahoe is indeed possible.
During the agency's infancy, we worked to curb runaway growth inside the basin, halting unchecked development that was threatening Lake Tahoe's famed water clarity. Science was proving that Tahoe's clarity was declining as development continued unabated, paving over wetlands that once filtered polluted stormwater runoff.
In the early 1980s, a federal judge issued a moratorium on nearly all development inside the basin that lasted close to three years as the agency developed the first regional plan through a consensus process.
The following decade, President Bill Clinton called Lake Tahoe a "national treasure that must be protected and preserved." And in 1997, Clinton and Vice President Al Gore convened the first Lake Tahoe Summit, and out of that was born the Environmental Improvement Program. In the intervening years, EIP partners — now numbering more than 80 federal, state, local, and private entities — have invested more than $2 billion in nearly 700 lake-saving projects. These projects have helped stabilize the lake's clarity loss, improved mountain streams, enhanced forest health and built bicycle and pedestrian paths.
In 2012, with the most recent regional plan update, TRPA embraced the idea of environmental redevelopment. We discovered a pathway that addressed the development mistakes of the past by restoring sensitive lands. This path allowed for new investments in our communities that benefit the economy while also helping to protect and restore the environment.
So, this December is special for many reasons. The holidays bring us together. Families and friends reunite and celebrate the bonds that tie, and communities come together to celebrate the season and what it means to people of differing faiths, beliefs, and backgrounds. There is a spirit of generosity and giving that is palpable.
The holidays are also a time of reflection. As TRPA celebrates 50 years since our inception, we reflect on our mission. And we reflect on our failures as well as our successes. As Winston Churchill said, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." One of the most significant things we've learned over 50 years is that we are more effective as an agency when we work as conveners and collaborators. Silos are for grain, not good governance.
It's the next 50 years where the hard work of protecting Lake Tahoe continues. The mountainous challenges that we face— climate change and adaptation, transportation and tourism, affordable housing, and social justice to name a few—are in and of themselves daunting. And we won't find solutions to those challenges by shrinking from them. Lake Tahoe has always inspired bi-partisanship. Because on both sides of the aisle, we see a treasure that's worthy of taking care of for future generations.
From all of us at the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency: We say happy holidays. We send to you and yours the warmest of best wishes for the season, and good tidings for a new year and a new decade as we enter the 2020s.
Joanne Marchetta is executive director of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency.

Committee member and wannabe president of the Old Cryptians' Club, Matt Cass, has published a paperback version of his heavily subscribed and highly amusing* Lockdown #1 Facebook updates. Click To Tweet
Proceeds from the sale of the book (should there be any) will be donated to NHS charities.
*No money changed hands in return for this description.
Brian was President of OCC, a member of OCRFC and played for GRFC in early 1960s. A tremendous back row forward and popular for his dash with the Shed.
He was commissioned in Royal Artillery in mid 1950s-short service commission with his National Service.
He was for many years an outstanding presenter and commentator in motor racing at Brands hatch and other circuits. He possessed a wonderful command of the spoken word and a memorable voice.
He is the only brother of Gordon Jones – former president OCC- now approaching his 90th birthday.
We grew up in The Oval in the war and post war years – Brian at 33 – me at 23-such happy times-from cowboys to sport!"
The Club extends its condolences to Gordon and Brian's family.
A number of online obituaries have been published:

Robert Ireland (1949-57)
We are saddened to learn of the passing in October 2020 of Bob Ireland who was at the Crypt School 1949-57 and who had spoken at the 475th anniversary dinner.
Bob was a pioneer of air travel magazine publishing and we will have an obituary in the next Cryptian.
The Cryptian 2019/20
The latest edition of The Cryptian magazine has been published as an online only magazine and is available to all members and non-members.
This edition is available for download as well as the online presentation but we felt that the logistical and administration burden of sending physical copies to members was too much given the huge additional workload that school office is under during this pandemic period.
We hope you enjoy reading as much as we have enjoyed collating and creating.
We welcome your thoughts about the magazine content and are already collecting articles for next years, hopefully Covid-free edition – please comment here or by email to the President.
Set up Direct Debit membership payments
For many years, the Old Cryptians' Club has collected membership fees paid by cheque or Standing Order. Whilst this has mostly worked well in the past, the administrative burden is proving difficult to justify.
To that end, we would like all members to set up a Direct Debit on line. We have chosen an online direct debit system from GoCardless to provide best value for the club. The system is fully compliant with the banking direct debit system and offers full protection under the Direct Debit Guarantee.
Signing up now (and remembering to cancel your standing order) will help us, although there is no requirement to just yet. No money will be taken from your account until 7th January.
Over the next few months, information will be sent out to all members, so please look out for the emails – we'll not flood your inbox!
The link to sign up is https://pay.gocardless.com/AL00027584CFQ3
We'd be happy to receive any feedback – please email webmaster@oldcryptians.org with any questions.

Nobody denies that having something free feels great. However, is it really the best choice when it comes to a screen recorder software? If you are running a business and want high-definition videos to pitch your clients or train your business, you need good software that records at a high frame rate.
You have to impress the other person and grab their attention.
The same goes for a YouTuber. If you upload low-quality videos, your subscribers will gradually start unsubscribing because they will think you aren't enough efforts to maintain quality.
Which is the better screen recorder software: free or paid?
Most free screen recording software only record up to 15 seconds of videos. You will rarely find software that records up to two to three minutes. If you want to record small videos, free software is the better choice.
If your profession greatly depends on making videos and presentations, you might want to purchase a paid software as they come with unlimited recording time feature. Also, the free software only offers up to 2GB of cloud storage, whereas a paid one offers around 1TB cloud storage.
You are using someone else's software, so there is going to be a watermark. You can use it if you are using it for personal use.
A paid software doesn't add its brand watermark on your video. You hold complete rights to your recording and don't have to worry about the license. You can also add a custom watermark when you use a paid screen recorder.
Video quality and clarity will weaker compared to a paid software. The video you record can show delay or lag.
With a paid software, you don't have to worry about any of it. You can compress the video and reduce the file size. It won't lag or show delayed activity either. You can also select the section of the screen you want to record, an option you don't get with a free one.
It goes without saying that a free software has a limited bandwidth. It will work when your business is small and have a restricted audience to cater to. However, as your company grows, you might want to make more videos and reach a larger audience.
You will ultimately have to purchase a paid software. You can do that right at the beginning, so you make a greater number of videos and reach popularity faster.
Free software is compatible with a limited number of formats. YouTube or any other platform might not accept the free formats. If it is compatible with other formats, you might have to pay for them, which comes down to the same thing.
You don't have to worry about all that with a paid software. It supports a wide range of formats and automatically adjusts the video to different screen sizes.
A free software might only allow you to record videos only for a limited number of times. After that, you will have to upgrade its premium version.
A paid software lets you record an unlimited number of times. Some software are available on a yearly-license basis, but most of them charge a one-time fee.
By now, you are convinced that buying a paid software is the most practical and hassle-free solution. Movavi Screen Recorder Studio is one of the best-paid software in the market. It is a two-in-one software, which includes a screen recorder and video editorand you can download it here www.movavi.com/screen-recorder/.
Other than capturing online videos, live streams, and how-to videos, you can upload recordings from your computer and edit them. You can download its free seven-day trial version to see how you like it.

Anne laughed and pelted Diana with the faded "June lilies" of her bouquet.
"Stella Maynard is the dearest girl in the world except one and you are that one, Diana," she said. "I love you more than ever—and I've so many things to tell you. But just now I feel as if it were joy enough to sit here and look at you. I'm tired, I think—tired of being studious and ambitious.

Racism is like a Cadillac, they bring out a new model every year.
If you want to see how racism in Finland is like a Cadillac, check out two Perussuomalaiset (PS)* politicians below. One is of a dying breed and another one of a new "Cadillac" model, Minister of Culture, Sport and European Issues Sampo Terho.
City councilman, Markus Jukarainen, who was sacked Tuesday from the local PS party of Kuopio represents a dying breed. If you look at Jukarainen's clothing style below nothing could be picture better the old Cadillac PS politicians: black dress, PS and Finnish flag sicker and the Finnish lion chain hanging conspicuously in front of him.
Jukarainen got sacked from the PS for making inappropriate comments on social media after repeated warnings from the anti-immigration party. Considering that the PS bases in large part its message on racism and Islamophobia, it does look pretty bad in your CV that you got sacked from such a party.
The new Cadillac model of racism in Finland is instead of saying things straight out, you have to fine tune your racism and speak in code.
Terho is a good example as is Jussi Halla-aho, who got sentenced for ethnic agitation in 2012 and breaching the sanctity of religion.
Believe it or not, these type of local politicians exist in Finland. Source: YLE.
A dying PS breed above and a new Cadillac model politician below.
Minister of Culture, Sport and European Affairs Sampo Terho is the new breed of PS politicians have hid their racism with the help of a tie and suit. Source: Perussuomalaiset.
* The official translation to Finnish of the Perussuomalaiset (PS) party is the Finns Party. In our opinion, it is not only a horrible translation, but one that is misguided. A direct translation of Perussuomalaiset in English would be something like "basic" or "fundamental Finn." Such terms like the Finns Party of True Finns promote as well in our opinion nativist nationalism and xenophobia. We, therefore, at Migrant Tales prefer to use in our postings the Finnish name of the party once and thereafter the acronym PS.


My research focuses on the social history of twentieth century Britain. I am interested in the history of the family, childhood and adolescence, and the ways in which external agencies came to intervene in what were often thought to be a very private set of relationships. I am currently researching the history of child protection.
My research is motivated by a strong belief that rigorous historical research can contribute valuable insights to contemporary policy discussions.
The longer term impact of experiencing adversity at a young age, and whether interventions were thought to be 'successful'.
My research forms one half of an interdisciplinary project, bringing together the disciplines of history and psychology, which seeks to understand how people who experienced adversity in childhood were affected by these experiences across the course of their lives. I am keen to explore opportunities in which the findings historical research can be used to engage with policymakers, practitioners, charities, and members of the public.

One of the most common mediums used with boilers, hot water is a very effective way to carry heat throughout your home or office. Use the options below to find the perfect hot water boiler. For extra help, read our boiler buying guide.
The boiler uses hot water to heat your home. Hot water boilers distribute heat through small hot water pipes using a pump to heat baseboard, cast iron radiators, or radiant flooring systems.
If you have the need for lots of heat and hot water and have a home with a loft or with adequate storage, You're better off opting for a conventional boiler which can be used to make the water hotter, or to provide hot water when solar energy is unavailable.
Hot water boilers The principle of a boiler is to use a controlled fire to heat water in a vessel, then pump the heated water to radiators, baseboard radiators, fan coils, and radiant heat, with these devices emitting or radiating the heat into the room or space.

Sequestering Carbon and Enhancing Our Local Landscapes
We would like to say a HUGE thank you to the local businesses, individuals, and field partners who support this program. With your help we were able to plant over 4,000 trees this year to offset carbon emissions!
Before the Puget Sound region was developed, it was covered by lush, old-growth evergreen forests. Douglas firs and Western redcedars towered hundreds of feet tall. The air was crisp, clean, and cool, and the forests provided shelter for an abundance of wildlife. Indigenous Salish people relied on the bounty of the forest for their rich livelihoods. The forest was an organism in itself, constantly breathing to cycle tons and tons of CO2 from the atmosphere each day.
Today, the region is a bustling metropolis that is home to nearly 4 million people and growing. The region still boasts an impressive amount of urban green space and managed forest compared to many other metropolitan areas in the country, which is one of the main draws for many newcomers.
As our climate warms, and our region becomes more densely populated, it is up to us to make sure that this region continues to be a livable and enjoyable place for all residents. Evergreen Carbon Capture (ECC) helps businesses and individuals do their part to address climate change. By contributing to local tree planting projects, participants balance their carbon impacts through carbon sequestration of the trees.
This year, almost 50 businesses and individuals offset their carbon footprints with ECC by planting 4,038 conifer trees, which will absorb 20,190 tons of CO2e over the next 100 years. Though only a drop in the bucket compared to what our native forests were once capable of, every tree planted and cared for provides a myriad of benefits like wildlife habitat, and improved water and air quality, which bring our landscapes one step closer to the ecological function of their pasts.
ECC offers the unique opportunity for partners to join our tree planting efforts at volunteer work parties. This year our field partners from Adopt-a-Stream Foundation, Dirt Corps, Forterra, Friends of the Burke Gilman Trail, Green Kirkland Partnership, Green Redmond Partnership, Green River Coalition, Green Seattle Partnership, and Stewardship Partners led 11 events for 367 volunteers to plant trees throughout the Puget Sound region, from Auburn to Marysville.
The Evergreen Carbon Capture team is extremely grateful to all participants for making an investment in our local forests to help our region continue to thrive. A special thank you to Green Diamond Resource Company for generously supporting the program and providing a portion of trees. Thank you again to everyone who made this planting season a success!
Offset your carbon footprint with our 2020 tree plantings! Visit our website and calculate your footprint or email EvergreenCarbon@forterra.org.
Thank you to our business partners, including:
This place is who we are
Together, this place is who we are and together we can make it all it can be.

Developing a cross-laminated timber pipeline in Washington is one step toward advancing our region as a leader in the movement for great cities and sustainability.
Lakes of blue (camas)
Blue camas is a signature plant of what has become an increasingly rare habitat in the South Sound—our native prairies.
A Proud Partnership
Forterra is working to conserve Little Skookum Inlet, 816 acres of riparian habitat, wetland and forest with two miles of marine shoreline in Mason County. Generations of Native Americans, family foresters and shellfish farmers have tended to this inlet. Protecting this place will prevent the property from being developed while protecting critical habitat for shellfish and salmon. Our project partner, Port Blakely Tree Farms, has stewarded the forest at Little Skookum for over 150 years and was just named Puget Sound Business Journal's Family Business of the Year.
A new community space in Neah Bay

Fighting Climate Change One Tree at a Time
Over 2,000 trees were planted this year as a part of Forterra's Evergreen Carbon Capture program and we have a lot of people to thank for making it happen!


On a fairly regular basis, I'm asked how I choose my restaurants. Well, last week I balanced a 10p piece on my thumbnail.
Heads: Lewes. Pretty town with a castle, next to a river (the Ouse); bit hilly; nearest beach (Saltdean) 10 miles; notorious/famous for its bonfire night parade, described in one national paper recently, as "noisy, smelly… and some people find the robust attitude expressed in the effigies" – Assad and Kim Jong-un in 2013, Putin in 2014, numerous Trumps in 2016 – "a bit disturbing"; referendum vote 52 per cent Remain; MP, Maria Caulfield (Con); Fifth Best restaurant on Trip Advisor – Limetree Kitchen.
Tails: Totnes. Pretty town with a castle, next to a river (the Dart); bit hilly; nearest beach (Paignton) six miles; notorious/famous for its (Wiki) "sizeable alternative and New Age community"; bonkers bonfire-night shenanigans include the "tradition" of carrying burning barrels of tar through the streets; referendum vote 52.9 per cent Remain; MP, Sarah Wollaston (Con); Fifth Best Restaurant on TripAdvisor – Woods Bistro.
Tough call, so I consulted the Oracle, aka the AA Routeplanner. Tails: a 500-mile, nine-hour round-trip drive from home; heads: a 58-mile, 100-minute round-trip drive. Plus, on the afternoon I planned to go, my youngest son was captaining a school football match a mere eight miles away. Heads it clearly was.
Lewes is a town of grand designs: the birthplace of the original Bill's long before it became a boring and ubiquitous chain.
Unlike many towns, it also has plenty of people below retirement age visible on its streets: the demographically modern – and, dare I say it, comfortably middle class – presence on my visit included (but was not limited to) lone bearded men pushing baby buggies, gender-fluid creatives carrying coffees, thirtysomethings toting vinyl LP cases and women in Breton stripes texting-and-strolling. It exudes smugness in extremis.
Reflecting this, Limetree Kitchen is confident and slightly pleased with itself. "NO FRILLS… NO GIMMICKS… JUST FANTASTIC FOOD," shouts the sell on its website, which also has a page titled Our Story: "[our] pledge is to produce exceptional dishes, created from only the very finest quality ingredients… Our ethos is simple, to guarantee customers the ultimate eating experience in a relaxed and informal setting." This excited me.
What with its pledges and its "exceptional dishes", "finest quality ingredients" and "ultimate eating experience", what restaurant writer wouldn't be enthused by the prospect of stumbling across the reincarnation of, say, Paul Bocuse lurking in a little tongue-and-groovy joint in East Sussex.
Limetree Kitchen is next door to its own deli. It's a simply decorated room (pictures aren't up to date on the website; the walls are now elephantine-grey) with an outdoor terrace. It was on the cusp of chilly when we arrived and only warmed up as the kitchen kicked in. Service was easy-going, warm and a bit millennial. The blackboard menu was sizeable and, of course, all about the sharing plates.
So: cauliflower pakoras and "tandoori yogurt", crispy baby squid and sweet chilli dip for starters. Fragrant Thai whole roasted sea bass, lemongrass, ginger, Thai basil for me (plus a side of chips); rump steak, rocket and Parmesan salad and fries for the bloke.
A drivers' tomato juice for me, small glass of cab-sauv for him. Somehow, afterwards, I felt I could also cope with a chocolate assiette while my lunch date opted for the goat's milk and maple panna cotta with espresso granita. All in all, an insane amount of food for an ordinary, non-celebratory Wednesday lunch – yes, even for a critic.
Generously (pro)portioned, it was all… just fine. The squid batter was a bit anaemic, though not oozy-oily, either. The date's steak was gone before I'd even clocked it ("all good here").
My low point was a bass which, while nicely cooked, was about as "fragrant Thai" as am I. When he asked how everything was, I called the waiter out on this: "Not very Thai!" He smiled and shrugged. It had been brushed with a few spices before roasting, apparently – flavours which were long gone by the time it hit my plate. "I love it!" he added, as if that might swing it for me.
The assiette was excellent. However, my guest was underwhelmed by his panna cotta, though I thought it pretty and proficient.
I'm quietly confident that no effigies of restaurant writers are scheduled to be barbecued on East Sussex bonfires this autumn. So here's the verdict: Limetree Kitchen is a good if slightly-too-expensive local restaurant, and if I lived around its corner I'd be pleased it existed. But "ultimate eating experience"? I'm not sure it'd be the ultimate eating experience in Lewes.
Finally, despite arriving at the venue for my son's game just as they were tucking into the match tea, at least it was a 4-0 victory I hadn't had to drive 500 miles in order to miss. And later, with our collective boots still filled, we had no need of dinner. Result.

Florida Panthers Decision In Goal Points To What About Bob?
February 11, 2019 February 11, 2019 by Frank Rekas
It's no secret that the Florida Panthers face a very important decision regarding goaltending that is either going to be addressed at or before the February 25th trade deadline. Or in the summer via Free Agency when it won't cost them assets. The problem is how long can they wait to fix it, and will waiting cost them an opportunity? With the poor performance of James Reimer on Sunday night, where he gave up 3 goals on 12 shots and was pulled after the second period, the Panthers are sending a message that they need to be better. That loss put them 9 points behind the Pittsburgh Penguins for the second wild card spot. A win would have made it 7, and an outside chance of climbing back in still existed.
Now? Not so much. The hill is too high to climb, but that doesn't erase the need to find a solution. The rumors have been floating around that the Panthers are persistent in their attempt to trade for disgruntled goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky of Columbus. Key word is disgruntled. He does not want to be in Columbus, and has been talking about not returning when he becomes a UFA this summer virtually all season. That probably gets a little tenuous in the dressing room after a while.
So, as potential solution number one, is Bob the guy? If you trade for him, obviously Reimer goes the other way. Then likely a draft pick or two and a prospect, and maybe even an NHL ready player. Or, you wait till free agency and outbid other teams wanting to add a former Vezina Trophy winner. Bob is going to ask for and command a lot of money. He'll be 31 in September and do you really want to sign him for 7 years on the open market? Or for 8 if you acquire him in a trade? If his game regresses at 35ish, he's going to be hard to move if you're paying him $8 million plus per season. If not acquired in a trade, can the Panthers out bid the competition? Sure there's no state income tax. It's sunny and warm all year round with beaches, golf, tennis, and boating. But what about winning?
It's a tough decision to make. Couple that with the fact that the Panthers also want to make a run for Artemi Panarin, also with Columbus, and you have the basis for a real blockbuster trade that can certainly change the complexion of the team. But Panarin wants to test the market, so he likely won't be here by the deadline. Or maybe he will. Who knows. I sure don't and I'll bet neither do any of you reading this.
Before we take a quick peek at other options, consider this. Bob has proven to be an exceptional regular season goalie. But his playoff record in the 24 games he's appeared in is 5-14-0. He's 5-12-0 in 17 games with Columbus. A small sample, but is that enough to invest 7 or 8 years in if you're chasing a Stanley Cup? No slight at all against Columbus or Bob, but what rabbit hole are we going down here? I doubt he signs for 5 years, and I doubt he takes less money than he's making now. So, this one really needs to be well thought out. The Panthers window to win with the core they have is the next 2-5 seasons. If you can live with a trending down goaltender at that point, then maybe it's ok. As long as you've won.
Semyon Varlamov with Colorado. Varly will be 31 in April, and he makes less than Bob, and based on his record will cost less than Bob. His best season was 2013-2014 when he finished with 41 wins in 63 starts. He placed 4th in the Hart Trophy race, and was 2nd in the Vezina Trophy race. In 26 playoff games with both Washington and Colorado his record is 13-13. You can probably get Varly for 5 years. Maybe 6, and probably for about 6 million per season. Cheaper, doesn't always mean better, but again, the asking price, as well as the signing price will be less. It also leaves more money to shore up the defence.
Robin Lehner of the New York Islanders. Lehner will be 28 and is on a one year deal. He's having a terrific season for the Islanders, and after coming out with his personal story over the summer, it's been nice to see. He has only appeared in 2 playoff games so far in his career, but that's likely to change this spring, as he's part of an Islanders team that's looking extremely serious about winning. Maybe they have a chip on their shoulder since they lost John Tavares and are out to prove something. Maybe it's coaching. Maybe the players have all bought into the system, and the belief that they play for each other, and by giving their best effort, they can be a really good hockey team. Maybe they've caught lightning in a bottle. No matter what, Lehner deserves some consideration. And if his season continues at this pace and the Islanders do well in the playoffs, he's going to get paid. And he's going to get term. And he'll have deserved it.
Lastly let's consider Cam Talbot in Edmonton. It was rumored that the Panthers were interested in him before he landed with the Oilers. He had a nice season last year, but this season he has regressed, and is likely on the way out. Not sure he's your guy at this point because of the Edmonton situation, but it's worth a look. Another cheaper option, that won't likely command as much as the previously mentioned players.
If you're looking for some experience, with a history of winning (as little as it might be), that about sums it up. There are other goalies that will be UFA's, but these 4 are probably at the top of the list.
The Panthers have to play this smartly without breaking the bank, giving up too much in assets, and also not forgetting to improve the blue line. The problems this season are not solely goaltending, but we all know you build your team from the back end forward. Scoring wins during the season, but goaltending and defence win in the playoffs.
Bobrovsky is the front runner in all this, and rightfully so. But the decision of when to acquire him and at what price determines future moves, as well as the future of the team. At some point, the attraction for a player can no longer be the sun, the beach and no state income tax. While those are all fine and dandy, a culture of winning, and a determination to win the Stanley Cup must be present as well. Maybe that should be the primary reason for coming here.

Relx sales fall as virus hits events business
By Pushkala Aripaka, Paul Sandle
(Reuters) - European information group Relx REL.L said on Thursday its revenue fell 10% in the first half of the year as the coronavirus pandemic halted public meetings, hitting the London-listed company's exhibitions arm.
The company, which has transformed from being a traditional media publisher to one focusing on data and analytics, had scrapped its forecast in April over uncertainty due to the global health crisis.
Formerly known as Reed Elsevier, Relx is the world's second biggest event organiser behind Informa Plc INF.L. Though this unit is Relx's smallest, it has been a dependable performer, and accounted for 16% of the company's revenue and 13% of its adjusted operating profit in 2019.
However, the division swung to an adjusted operating loss of 117 million pounds ($149 million) in the first six months of the year from a profit of 231 million pounds a year earlier, as revenue slumped 71%.
Chief Financial Officer Nick Luff said some events in China had restarted and more were scheduled in the second half.
"Whether we can do that will depend on what is happening in each location with each venue (and) what travel restrictions there might be," he said.
"We operated two shows in China during June and right now we are operating 10 shows across three cities in China and one in Korea."
Shares in Relx fell 4% as analysts at Citi said organic growth was "materially worse than expected". Events was clearly a big driver, they said, but the performance of other division was also uninspiring.
The virus has infected more than 15 million people and many major world events, from the Tokyo Olympics to the Mobile World Congress have been cancelled.
Revenue fell to 3.50 billion pounds from 3.89 billion pounds a year earlier.
The company, which has not accessed government support schemes, kept its interim dividend unchanged at 13.6 pence.

Plant Field was the first major athletic venue in Tampa, Florida. It was built in 1899 by Henry B. Plant on the grounds of his Tampa Bay Hotel to host various events and activities for guests, and it consisted of a large field ringed by an oval race track flanked by a large covered grandstand on the western straightaway with portable seating used to accommodate a wide variety of uses. Over the ensuing decades, Plant Field drew Tampa residents and visitors to see horse racing, car racing, baseball games, entertainers, and politicians. The stadium also hosted the first professional football and first spring training games in Tampa and was the long-time home of the Florida State Fair.

Al Lopez Field opened in 1954 and Tampa Stadium opened in 1967, and they became the preferred venues for most of the events that had long been held at Plant Field. The aging facility was acquired by the adjacent University of Tampa (UT) in the late 1960s, and in 1971, the name of the grandstand was changed to Pepin-Rood Stadium in honor of university benefactors. After the Florida State Fair moved to a much larger site east of downtown in 1976, Plant Field fell into disuse.

Beginning in the 1980s, the University of Tampa began gradually converting Plant Field to other uses. The race track was removed, a series of academic buildings and student housing were built on the periphery of the venue's large footprint, and the last remaining section of the old grandstand was torn down in 2002. However, portions of the original playing field have been incorporated into new venues for the university's athletic programs along with student recreation.

History

In 1885, the railroad line of Henry B. Plant reached Tampa, connecting the small town to the nation's railroad system for the first time and helping to stimulate rapid growth and development. Plant's company primarily shipped goods such as cigars and citrus from the area, but to encourage passenger travel, he built several hotels in the greater Tampa Bay area, jump starting the region's tourist industry. The largest of these hotels was the Tampa Bay Hotel, a lavish resort containing over 500 rooms which opened across the Hillsborough River from downtown Tampa in 1892. The resort offered many amenities to visitors, including horse riding facilities on the western side of the resort grounds which included a simple track. These facilities were greatly enlarged and expanded in 1899 and become Plant Field, which was large enough to host a wide variety of sports and other activities.

The Tampa Bay Hotel closed in 1931. The new University of Tampa took over most of the facilities in 1933, though the city of Tampa retained control of Plant Field.

Racing
Henry Plant built a horse track on the grounds east of North Boulevard and south of Cass Street, now the site of the University of Tampa athletic fields. During the 1898-99 tourist season, races were sponsored by the Tampa Agricultural Racing and Fair Association. When automobile races were added to the South Florida Fair in 1921, the horse track was converted into a 1/2 mile dirt oval that operated until 1980. Plant Field was also a venue for dirt-track races sanctioned by the International Motor Contest Association until the mid-1970s

Baseball
Baseball began at Plant Field around 1899 when local teams played at what was then called the Tampa Bay Race Track Diamond. With the lure of travel incentives offered by the city government, it became one of the first facilities used by Major League Baseball for spring training when the Chicago Cubs came to train before the 1913 season. The Cubs conducted spring training in Tampa until 1916.  On March 26, 1914, Plant Field hosted the first major league baseball spring training game in the Tampa Bay area when the Cubs defeated the St. Louis Browns 3–2.

After the Cubs departed, the Boston Red Sox used the facility next. On April 4, 1919. Babe Ruth, playing in what would be his last season with the Red Sox, hit a home run 587 feet against the New York Giants during an exhibition game. A plaque remains to commemorate Ruth's achievement as it was considered the longest home run of Ruth's career and one of the longest in baseball history.

Over the years, Plant Field was the spring home to many major league teams, including the Washington Senators in the 1920s, the Detroit Tigers in the 1930s, and the Cincinnati Reds in the 1940s. The Chicago White Sox were Plant Field's last spring training tenant. They last used the facility in 1954 and moved to newly built Al Lopez Field in West Tampa for 1955.

The facility also hosted many minor league, semi-pro, high school, and other baseball games. In November 1950, the Jackie Robinson All-Stars played a local black semi-professional team, the Tampa Rockets, at Plant Field. Robinson's team included major-leaguers Roy Campanella and Larry Doby as well as several Negro league players. Plant Field was the regular home field of the Tampa Smokers of the Florida State League and the Florida International League until the team disbanded after the 1954 season.

Football
On New Year's Day 1926, the Chicago Bears, led by Red Grange, defeated the Tampa Cardinals, a traveling pick-up team featuring Jim Thorpe, 17–3. This game marked the first professional football game played in Tampa. A number of other exhibition games involving professional and college players were played at Plant Field through the decades.

Due to the small capacity of their first on-campus home of Fleming Field, the Florida Gators football team usually scheduled one or two "home" games per season at Plant Field in the early years of the program, especially when facing top college opponents that drew larger crowds. The construction of Florida Field in 1930 reduced the number of Florida football games in Tampa, though the Gators would occasionally schedule "home" games at Plant Field, Phillips Field, or (much later) Tampa Stadium into the 1980s.

The University of Tampa Spartans played their home football games at Plant Field from 1933 until 1936, when they moved to nearby Phillips Field, which they did not have to share with other tenants. Henry B. Plant High School and Hillsborough High School played their annual rivalry game at Plant Field for decades, usually on Thanksgiving Day. A few other high-interest high school football games were also played at the facility from year to year.

Other activities
For decades, Plant Field was the location of the South Florida Fair, the precursor to the Florida State Fair. The fair was almost always scheduled to coincide with Tampa's annual Gasparilla Pirate Festival, and the Gasparilla Parade ended at the Plant Field grandstands from 1905 until 1976.

In 1912, "Buffalo Bill" Cody performed on the field with hundreds of American Indians who traveled with him as part of his show. When Tampa hosted the national reunion of the United Confederate Veterans in 1927, some of the veterans stayed in quarters under the Plant Field grandstands.

Presidential candidate Henry Wallace spoke at Plant Field in February 1948. Wallace insisted that the audience be integrated. This marked the first political speech in Tampa during which blacks and whites could mix. Paul Robeson sang at another integrated Wallace rally at Plant Field later that October.

During the 1952 Presidential Campaign, Dwight D. Eisenhower appeared at Plant Field.

Name change and demolition
Plant Field slowly became obsolete as more specialized sports facilities were built around Tampa. Nearby Phillips Field hosted University of Tampa and the Cigar Bowl football games beginning in the 1930s, and both Plant and Phillips Fields were made obsolete by the construction of Tampa Stadium in 1967. Brand-new Al Lopez Field became the new home of the minor league Tampa Tarpons when they began play in 1957. And in 1977, the Florida State Fair moved to a more spacious location at the intersection of Interstate 4 and U.S. Highway 301 in unincorporated Hillsborough County, just east of Tampa.

In 1971, the University of Tampa Board of Trustees approved a transaction that granted the university possession of Plant Field, and the grandstand was renamed Pepin-Rood Stadium after university benefactors in 1983.

Since then, the school has built many new facilities on its huge footprint, including a soccer field (Pepin Stadium), softball and baseball fields, dormitories, and other academic and athletic facilities. Though some patches of the original playing surface are still in use as part of newer venues, the last remaining portions of Plant Field's old grandstand were torn down in 2002.

Can't be over with life either, it shows its charm in here and after whether you close your eyes or loose mind completely!
LIFE: A complete word or people say a crazy word but everybody have to live whatever it takes. Truth, Lies, Hate, Love, Adventure, Happiness, Grief, Cry, Laugh or I can say in one word "FEELINGS", and this is the word in which you describe the whole life, in which we can live in… I feel something when I think about my life at night before going to bed, I got strange feelings but a beautiful force inside me pushing my eyes to get wet and I think it's the love which every human being gets and the memories sometimes rapture the whole night but why peoples now a days can't feel their own love with others or stop caring??
Life of today's world becomes very fast. Nobody have time to think about their own life they are just pushing a system and busy in their own life but when you reach near death u have nothing but love left, whatever you did in the past has gone and your future is about to come, you want many things to do with your life but time is calling you, at that moment you will just sit on the chair and resent all the bad memories and all the things which left incomplete.
So I just want to say in your own life period give some time yourself to think about your entire life's positivity and what things you can do in a better way and also think about love that how much you get and how much you give and moments you got because life is like a long road which you never seen the end from far but when you reach near, you will not have time to go back and make things right, you just have to wait for the destination to come then.
There are many stages of life, while you are into some stage of life just go in the flow and don't worry about the next stage to come but always try to make the moments as you want because we all get one life with many different feelings, if we combine together makes a perfect human being.
You see me as someone who's popular and has all the answers; that's not true. I may not always know what I'm doing but I'll try to make things better. And when I make a mistake, because face it, we all do, I promise I'll ask for your help. I can't do this alone. But if you take a chance on me, we can do great things together. I promise, if you believe in me, I'll find the courage to reach for your every dreams. John F. Kennedy said the courage of life is a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must, in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures and that is the basis of all mortality.
From the season ONE TREE HILL.. By the way love that season, Its the perfect combination of love and life.
