The RNC Rules Vote Explained — Here's What Led to Chaos on the Convention Floor
By Emily C. Singer
The floor of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland erupted into chaos Monday as anti-Donald Trump delegates attempted to change the rules in an effort to nominate someone other than the blustering businessman.
But what exactly led to the chaotic scene?
Let's start at the beginning.
Who was behind this chaos?
Monday's frantic scene on the convention floor really began weeks ago, when Kendal Unruh, a delegate and supporter of vanquished presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, launched the #FreeTheDelegates movement.
After the primaries wrapped, Trump had amassed 1,542 delegates, according to the New York Times, far more than the 1,237 needed to clinch the nomination. Almost all of those delegates — or 1,447 of them, to be exact — are bound to vote for Trump on the first round of balloting at the RNC, ensuring Trump will be the GOP nominee.
But Unruh, who is an avowed member of the #NeverTrump crowd, wanted to change the rules of the convention to allow delegates to disregard the primary results and instead "vote their conscience" — potentially allowing someone other than Trump to clinch the GOP nomination.
How would that work?
Last week, the RNC's Rules Committee met to write the rules of the convention.
This was the big meeting in which Unruh and the other #FreeTheDelegates supporters attempted to change the rules to "unbind" the delegates and allow them to vote with their conscience rather than the way they were required to based on their state's primary results.
Republican National Committee members, including RNC Chair Reince Priebus, met behind closed doors with these anti-Trump delegates — which included Utah Sen. Mike Lee and former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli — to attempt to negotiate a deal that would keep the delegates bound but also appease their movement.
Ultimately, the #FreeTheDelegates' amendment that would unbind the delegates failed in the Rules Committee by a massive margin of 87-12.
Trump himself took to Twitter to declare their #NeverTrump movement "never more."
So if they lost the fight, what happened Monday on the convention floor?
Undeterred by their defeat in the Rules Committee, #FreeTheDelegates members regrouped to make yet another attempt at unbinding the delegates and potentially denying Trump the nomination.
While the Rules Committee voted down their amendment, the entire Rules Committee package — which includes other rules provisions for the convention — had to be approved by the entire slate of delegates on Monday on the convention floor.
While the committee's rules package is usually adopted by an uneventful voice vote — in which the chair of the convention asks delegates to say "aye" or "nay," and then chooses whichever he or she believes is loudest — Unruh and her group attempted to force a roll call vote.
Delegates scream for a roll call vote at the RNC in Cleveland.
That roll call vote would have been the first step in what would have been a very unlikely scenario in which the thousands of delegates would vote down the rules committee package, send the Rules Committee back to draft new rules, and then successfully adopt a rule to unbind the delegates.
Nevertheless, they pressed on.
In order to force a roll call vote, Unruh and her group needed the majority of delegates from seven state delegations to petition for a roll call vote.
The group collected signatures, and said the majority of nine state delegations — Colorado, Washington, Utah, Minnesota, Wyoming, Maine, Iowa, Virginia and Washington, D.C., according to Politico — wanted a roll call vote.
But when the chair came out, he adopted the rules by a voice vote — despite the loud group of "nays" erupting on the floor.
After adopting the rules by a voice vote, the chair retreated backstage as the chaos on the floor continued.
When the chair returned, he said that three states did not have the necessary number of members required to force the roll call vote.
The rules were officially adopted by voice vote, and the #FreeTheDelegates movement was dealt a fatal blow.
Unruh, Lee and Cuccinelli — who were on the floor and caused a scene during the rules committee vote — are unsurprisingly very unhappy.
In an interview with C-SPAN, Unruh said the RNC effectively "squashed the voice of the people" and added that "the system is rigged to make sure Donald Trump gets this nomination."
Cuccinelli — who campaigned hard for Cruz during the primary — was so angry he threw his delegate credentials on the floor during the vote.
Despite their anger, delegates are still bound to vote the way the primary results dictate.
And, as Trump said last week, Never Trump is nevermore — at least at the RNC.


Draught Charlotte officially opens to the public today on Cedar Street in the shadow of the Bank of America Stadium just in time for tonight's Panthers' preseason opener. It's not only Charlotte's newest upscale sports and craft beer bar which has 34+ beers on tap (owner Jason Astephen, who owns Prohibition in Charlotte knows his stuff), but also serves up delicious food from two Johnson & Wales alumnae, exec chef Tony Maiolo and sous Bruce Florio.
They offer lunch, dinner, game day and late night menus that go well beyond basic bar food. Their appetizers take some classics and turn them on their head like Root Beer or Cheerwine BBQ wings, or crab stuffed deviled eggs, but offer some new "soon to be classics" like an egg roll of the week or pimento cheese fritters. Want something healthier? Try a Cranberry Apple Salad with grilled chicken and maple cider vinaigrette or Warm Kale salad. Their entrees are definitely beyond what you'd expect from a bar: how about a Crown Royal Maple Glazed Smoked Duck Breast over a bed of wilted Purple Kale and Wild Rice or Hoisin Glazed Scallops over cucumber slaw and Orange Jalapeno Vinaigrette. At lunch, they offer lots of sandwiches and burgers including a lemon dijon salmon burger and Pulled Turkey, cornbread and cranberry sandwich. They also have a kids menu for the little people.
The space is rustic chic with lots of reclaimed wood and industrial light fixtures. They are finishing up furnishing their patio and downstairs room, which can be rented out for private parties.

El National? Caballero T-Type? Whatever You Call It, This Buick 3.8 Turbo-Swapped GMC Caballero Is All Of The Awesome!
As we all know, General Motors has a history for building a ton of cars for all of its various car lines on shared platforms. In fact, no one "badge engineers" cars and trucks as much as the General. It's gotten them into trouble in the past, with divisions competing against each other for sales and oversaturating the market with nearly identical vehicles. That said, having a bunch of cars rolling down the assembly line with slight variations in body styling and drivetrain choices has given aspiring car designers and bench racers alike fodder for building a variety of "What If-mobiles". Among the very best of them are the variations of the Chevrolet El Camino and its assembly line partner, the GMC Sprint/Caballero. While nearly all of GM's divisions had A/G Body sedans, coupes, and wagons, only Chevrolet and GMC received the honor of being available with a bed, which is truly a travesty.
As a "Pontiac Guy", one of my favorite factory mash-ups is this late 70's Pontiac Grand Am-A-Mino. The Pontiac Motor Division reportedly put this together as a design exercise, and unlike so many experimental cars, this one avoid being crushed and still survives to this day. They added just enough Pontiac elements to make it its own thing, and frankly, they nailed it.
While GM themselves dabbled with building a variety of one-off vehicles based on their A/G-Body trucklet, that has not stopped consumers from building their own. And guess what? That's just what we have here. This time, it's a 1985 GMC Caballero with the heart of a 1987 Buick Grand National up for sale on good ol' Craigslist! Let's take a closer look!
On the outside, it still looks like your typical 1978-87 El Camino/Caballero, although mildly customized. This one is wearing GM N90 alloys, made famous by the 1980-81 Z28 and the 1986-88 Monte Carlo SS, and they look right at home here. It's also sporting a cowl hood, a custom grille, and a ground effects kit. The body and undercarriage is said to be rust free, so you can leave the welder alone for this one.
While I'm no fan of the custom billet-style grill, it does lend some mystery to the front end of the car. I'm guessing the Swiss-cheese'd front valance is to direct airflow to the front-mounted intercooler. Crude, but effective.
Out back, the builder slightly customized the rear by adding an aftermarket bumper and filling in the license plate location in the tailgate. Thankfully, they avoided the temptation of adding one of those gaudy "Corvette-style" rear bumpers. I don't know about you guys, but I'm not a fan of those.
The interior is in decent shape, and upholstered in the finest mouse fur gray cloth available in the mid-80's. Keen G-Body readers will notice that there are some differences from how the factory delivered this car.
If you couldn't see it from the last picture, the dashboard is from a similar vintage Buick Regal T-Type. In true retro-futuristic form, it sports a digital dash with the all-important "Turbo Power" gauge!
Under that cowl hood, you are treated to the 80's technical marvel that is the Buick 3.8 liter sequential EFI V6 with a turbocharger and intercooler. Since they originally offered this engine in the G-Body chassis, performing the swap is easy and looks just like the factory would have done it. The transmission is a TH200-4R, also sourced from a Grand National. The seller notes that both the engine and transmission are stock and unmodified.
The seller of this what-if machine also notes that the car even has the Grand National's hydroboost braking system swapped in, which is visible on the driver-side of the engine compartment. That's an oft-overlooked component in a swap like this, and will keep the car/truck's ability to stop well after the inevitable boost-assisted blasts down the road. They also report that the rear end is a GM 8.5 10-bolt unit, likely sourced from the same Grand National that donated it's drivetrain.
The seller has this El RegalMino listed at $7900, which seems reasonable in today's market. I recently saw a clapped-out, completely rotted in half Grand National at a swap meet, sand drivetrain, for almost $3000, and people were legitimately interested in buying it, so take that into consideration! And as cool as the Turbo Buicks are, this mullet-on-wheels has the potential to be even cooler. My only gripe with it is that the builder didn't take it that extra mile to full Regal-with-a-bed fruition. There have been Grand National/El Camino mash-ups built by others in the past, and they are among the coolest of these types of builds. I'd swap on a Regal front end with GNX fenders, spray it white, swap on a set of color matched 16″ factory GTA/GNX wheels, and go haul some mulch really fast!
See, doesn't that just look right?
You can view the original ad HERE.
985 GMC Caballero… NICELY installed is everything under the hood from a 1987 Buick Grand National, including the GN Power Master braking system, all the air conditioning components, etc.. The engine and transmission have matching casting numbers (452300) ….The rear differential is an 8.5 and most likely from the GN as well……..The engine and transmission and rear differential are completely stock….. The digital dash is from a T-Type Buick.
The undercarriage is rust free and in amazing condition for its age.
Nice Ute, there's one like the black GN one here in Hayward, Ca. that's all done up like a GNX with a modified turbo engine, looks better in person than the pictures.
1990s me is still a sucker for monochromatic anything. You could take an actual turd, throw some wheels and tires underneath, paint the entire thing white (including the wheels) and I'll be drawn to it.


Hello all, apologies for the extended delay - we were on holidays and then have been battling colds and, well, life gets in the way sometimes. Anyway, I am determined to complete this Quorn experiment before christmas so need to get a wriggle on.
Purely by chance I had got everything in to make the 'Sticky Sausage Skewers' before the weather went all bbq-tastic this weekend so it was a bonus when the in-laws invited us for a bbq on Saturday afternoon, I quickly put together this great, simple recipe and took them with us to cook on the barbie (I had intended to griddle mine, not expecting the indian summer!).
These literally take minutes to put together. The marinade is very simple - fresh lemon juice, olive oil, whole grain mustard and mango chutney - which the sausage pieces are coated in before being threaded onto the skewers with cherry tomatoes, chunks of pepper and button mushrooms (the recipe called for red onion too but I had none in and did not miss it).
These were a welcome veggie addition to the bbq and it works very well with the quorn sausages. I really liked the flavours of the marinade although my husband was not too keen on the mustard element.
These are pretty healthy as only the sausage and marinade contains points. Based on each skewer containing one whole sausage, the propoints value per kebab is 4 as follows: sausage (1), mango chutney (2), oil (1).
I think these work really well, look and taste great and offer something a bit different for the bbq, as a bonus they are very low in fat compared to a meat version. I will definitely be making these again next summer! Simple to prepare and also pretty flexible as you could change the veg to suit whatever you have in the fridge without upping the points value.
We give these a 9/10.

Glossary of professional wrestling terms
Work (electrical)
Corporation (disambiguation)
Corporation (role playing game)
Professional wrestling has accrued a considerable nomenclature through its long existence. Much of it stems from the industry's origins in the days of carnivals and circuses, and the slang itself is often referred to as "carny talk." In the past, wrestlers used such terms in the presence of fans so as not to reveal the worked nature of the business. In recent years, widespread discussion on the Internet has popularized these terms. Many of the terms refer to the financial aspects of pro wrestling in addition to performance-related terms.

Electrical work is the work done on a charged particle by an electric field. The equation for 'electrical' work is equivalent to that of 'mechanical' work:
The electrical work per unit of charge, when moving a negligible test charge between two points, is defined as the voltage between those points.
Qualitative overview
Particles that are free to move, if positively charged, normally tend towards regions of lower voltage (net negative charge), while if negatively charged they tend to shift towards regions of higher voltage (net positive charge).
However, any movement of a positive charge into a region of higher voltage requires external work to be done against the field of the electric force, work equal to that electric field would do in moving that positive charge the same distance in the opposite direction. Similarly, it requires positive external work to transfer a negatively charged particle from a region of higher voltage to a region of lower voltage.
The electric force is a conservative force: work done by a static electric field is independent of the path taken by the charge. There is no change in the voltage (electric potential) around any closed path; when returning to the starting point in a closed path, the net of the external work done is zero. The same holds for electric fields.

A work of art, artwork, art piece, piece of art or art object is an aesthetic physical item or artistic creation. Apart from "work of art", which may be used of any work regarded as art in its widest sense, including works from literature and music, these terms apply principally to tangible, portable forms of visual art:
An example of fine art, such as a painting or sculpture
An object that has been designed specifically for its aesthetic appeal, such as a piece of jewelry
An object that has been designed for aesthetic appeal as well as functional purpose, as in interior design and much folk art
An object created for principally or entirely functional, religious or other non-aesthetic reasons which has come to be appreciated as art (often later, and/or by cultural outsiders)
A non-ephemeral photograph, film or visual computer program, such as a video game or computer animation
A work of installation art or conceptual art.
Used more broadly, the term is less commonly applied to:
A fine work of architecture or landscape design

A corporation is a company or group of people authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law. Early incorporated entities were established by charter (i.e. by an ad hoc act granted by a monarch or passed by a parliament or legislature). Most jurisdictions now allow the creation of new corporations through registration.
Corporations come in many different types but are usually divided by the law of the jurisdiction where they are chartered into two kinds: by whether or not they can issue stock, or by whether or not they are for profit.
Where local law distinguishes corporations by ability to issue stock, corporations allowed to do so are referred to as "stock corporations", ownership of the corporation is through stock, and owners of stock are referred to as "stockholders." Corporations not allowed to issue stock are referred to as "non-stock" corporations, those who are considered the owners of the corporation are those who have obtained membership in the corporation, and are referred to as a "member" of the corporation.

Corporation is a science fiction role-playing game created by Brutal Games. It has been inspired by many Science fiction films and books, including The Fifth Element, Gattaca, Johnny Mnemonic, and Total Recall. It has a small, but growing, fan base worldwide. The game makers have also set up a forum for players to ask questions relating to the fictional world the game is set in, the rules, and even to discuss scenarios.
Games are often played in a cinematic style, with description, storytelling, and role-playing often more important than dice rolling.
Brutal Games published their Corporation cyberpunk game in 2009 through Mongoose Publishing's Flaming Cobra imprint. The game is available for purchase in book form and as PDF files.
Game world
Set in 2500 AD, the fictional world of Corporation is very different from that of today. Five corporations wield such power and influence that they can all but make their own laws. Following a long and savage war between the corporations in their rise to power, a large portion of the world had been left devastated and barely habitable; but from the ashes of this deeply scarred world has come a new era in human development. Citizens in the game world live peaceful lives in gleaming Spire Cities while mankind takes its first tentative steps in colonising the solar system. Since the end of the Corporate Wars, and the founding of the United International Government (UIG), there have been no global conflicts and crime has hit an all-time low.

As a "creative", I have been fortunate in spending most of my life at Harley-Davidson as a designer. I am a graduate of Art Center College of Design and that is where my watercolor interest began. Although my degree is in Industrial Design, Watercolor was an elective, featuring plein air sessions where we painted outdoors, on location.
I have always viewed our motorcycles as the ultimate sculptural art form. Color, shape, texture, contrast, play of light, and proportion are critical elements in their visual success. Those same elements apply when creating a compelling watercolor painting, only in two dimensions rather than three.
Overlapping motorcycle design and watercolor painting has provided me with a very fulfilling lifestyle which answers my passions and emotions. I am inspired by the incredible variety; an idyllic Wisconsin landscape or the challenge of an exciting new Harley-Davidson.

Four Radical Democrat Proposals You May Have Missed This Year
By Jacob Falach
DailyWire.com
It's no secret that the 2020 election cycle left the Republican Party in a precarious spot. Following November's election, Americans were left facing a Democrat majority in the House of Representatives, a Senate split right down the middle (with Kamala Harris serving as tie breaker), and a Democrat President in the White House.
As they headed into 2021, the Democrats wasted no time with their newly acquired power and got to work right away, attempting to push alarmingly radical policies into law. From infringements on the Second Amendment to blows against election integrity, here are four examples you might have missed.
The "For The People Act of 2021"
On March 3rd, 2021 the House of Representatives passed H.R.1, also known as the "For The People Act of 2021".
Sponsored by Representative John P. Sarbanes (D-MD), the bill was advertised as a "common sense" legislative measure, designed to supposedly provide Americans with easier, more reliable access to the voting process. On the other hand, critics argue that the bill is an attempt to provide an unfair advantage to the Democrats during future elections.
H.R.1 includes various policies that would expand mail-in voting, early voting, automatic registration, and same day registration. The bill also aims to place restrictions on state voter identification requirements by allowing citizens to sign a "sworn written statement" instead of showing their legal identification. The given reasoning behind the crackdown on voter ID focuses on the claim that identification requirements are "excessively onerous" and "disproportionately burden" minority communities.
Senior Legal Fellow Hans Von Spakovsky elaborated on the dangers of the bill in an article for The Heritage Foundation, which outlined three key reasons why the bill should be opposed:
First, the bill would "usurp the role of the states" in elections and ultimately damage the integrity of the voting process as a whole. Second, he argues that citizenship and identity should be authenticated before casting a ballot. And last, he stresses that it is not Congress' job to try and fix election related issues since federal intervention would only make existing problems worse.
Those who oppose the Democrats' "For the People Act" posit that the removal of identification requirements endangers America's Republic, and should be condemned. Valid identification is already required to drive, drink, and purchase a firearm, and to maintain logical consistency, identification should be required to vote.
The fate of the bill will be decided by the United States Senate.
The "Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021"
H.R.8 — more commonly known as the "Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021" — was passed by the House of Representatives on March 11, 2021. The final tally was 227 votes to 203, with all but one Democrat member voting yes, alongside eight Republicans.
The bill requires a federal background check for nearly every change of possession a firearm goes through, even those which are temporary or private. According to an analysis of the bill conducted by the NRA, simply handing a firearm to another person would, in many cases, become a criminal offense.
The original sponsor of the bill is Representative Mike Thompson (D-CA). When explaining the legislation, Thompson claimed it was to "help prevent gun violence and keep our communities safe."
Conversely, critics argue that Thompson and others are being misleading. They claim that the bill is not about safety, but rather exists as an outright attack against law abiding gun owners.
The bill now awaits a vote in the U.S. Senate.
The "Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021"
The Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021, or H.R.1446 is a bill that passed in the house on March 11th, 2021 with a final vote of 219-210.
The bill was sponsored by Representative James E. Clyburn (D-SC) and aims to eliminate the "Charleston loophole" — named after the Charleston shooting in 2015 that left nine individuals dead inside of the Emanuel AME church in Charleston, South Carolina.
The Charleston loophole is a term used to describe an event where an individual obtains a firearm after their mandatory background check takes longer than three business days to complete. The so-called "loophole" is possible because of an amendment to the 1993 Brady Bill made three days the maximum amount of time an uncompleted background check can prevent an individual from obtaining a firearm.
The proposed bill would raise the firearm hold limit to a maximum of ten business days, meaning Americans could expect wait periods of over three times the length they experience now.
Numerous experts on the second amendment have weighed in, including Larry Keane of the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Keane claims, "This bill increases the burden on small business firearm retailer owners and flips the burden of proof on its head. This would make it incumbent upon the law-abiding citizen to prove his or her innocence to the government to exercise their Second Amendment right to purchase a firearm instead of the government being responsible for proving an individual is prohibited. This could potentially deny a law-abiding citizen their rights for up to a month, while they are saddled with the burden of proving their innocence. That's un-American."
The Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021 was passed the same day as the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021 (above), and they both aim to complete the same goal — outright suppression of the firearm rights of millions of law-abiding citizens across the country.
The U.S. Senate will vote next to determine the fate of the bill.
President Biden's Flurry of Executive Orders
When President Biden took office earlier this year, he wasted no time and released a flurry of executive orders that created new policies and reversed old ones. According to a Newsweek fact check, President Biden broke the record for the most executive orders in a president's first week.
According to the Daily Wire's Ian Haworth, when it comes to Biden's "Executive Order on Strengthening Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act", federal agencies will be directed to expand access to Obamacare and effectively work towards the long-term goal of achieving socialized medicine.
The Democratic Party is by no means shy about socialized medicine being part of their radical agenda. On the official website of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — a prominent face of the Democrats — she "is an unapologetic advocate of Medicare for All, which would create a universal, single payer healthcare system." Some might argue that Ocasio-Cortez is too far Left and doesn't represent the entirety of the Democratic party, though. So, what about the sitting Vice President?
In a 2019 op-ed for Medium, Vice President Kamala Harris — who was a Presidential candidate at the time — claimed that, "In America, health care should be a right, not a privilege only for those who can afford it. It's why we need Medicare for All."
Biden's "Executive order on Strengthening Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act" is simply the Democrats taking another step towards making socialized medicine a reality.
Another alarmingly radical executive order known as the "Memorandum of Protecting Women's Health at Home and Abroad" rescinds the Mexico City policy. According to Haworth, this means that the executive order would allocate tax payer dollars to abortions taking place outside of the United States.
It should come as surprise to no one that the Democrats are taking advantage of the control they have of multiple branches of the federal government, that's the way politics work. However, the question that every American needs to be asking themselves is how far (or how radical) will they go before midterms hit in 2022?

Grading the Buckeyes: Big plays lead to win
Braxton Miller celebrates his 53-yard touchdown run. David Jablonski/Staff
Sports | Aug 28, 2016
By David Jablonski
Amid all the fun story lines in No. 1 Ohio State's 42-24 victory Monday over Virginia Tech at Lane Stadium, how about this one?
Running back Ezekiel Elliott revealed after the game that suspended teammate Joey Bosa was back home in Columbus watching Elliott's puppy Ace.
Bosa will be busy next Saturday when Ohio State hosts Hawaii as he, Jalin Marshall, Corey Smith and Dontre Wilson return from suspensions. Ace, a dog Elliott loves to tweet about, will be on his own for a few hours.
As for Elliott, his pursuit of the Heisman began with a so-so game. Here's how Ohio State graded in the running game and other areas:
Rushing offense: Virginia Tech again focused on shutting down Ohio State's running game and succeeded to a large extent in the first half. Elliott finished with 122 yards on 11 carries, but 80 of those came on one touchdown run.
There just wasn't room for Elliott to run, so the Buckeyes turned to quarterback Cardale Jones for carries. He gained 99 on 13 rushes. Braxton Miller added 62 yards on six carries, 53 coming on one touchdown run.
Big plays turned the running game's night into a big one. Grade: A
Passing offense: Cardale Jones didn't find out he would start until moments before he did. Maybe the uncertainty hurt him. Maybe Ohio State's lack of experience at wide receiver did.
Maybe Jones struggled because it was the first game, but he was not as sharp as he was at the end of last season. He completed 9 of 18 passes for 186 yards with two touchdowns and one ill-advised interception. Grade: B.
Rushing defense: The Hokies gained 128 yards on 44 carries. Their longest run was 16 yards.
Joshua Perry, Gareon Conley, Raekwon McMillan and Tyvis Powell all had eight tackles for the Buckeyes. Grade: A.
Passing defense: Until he left the game with a shoulder injury in the third quarter, Michael Brewer gave the Buckeyes trouble for the second straight season. He completed 11 of 16 passes for 156 yards with two touchdowns. Grade: B-.
Special teams: Elliott, Ohio State's new punt returner, at least until Marshall returns, fumbled a punt. Jack Willoughby, the new kicker, missed a 43-yard field goal that would have given Ohio State a 17-0 lead. Grade: C.
Coaching: Urban Meyer's unorthodox decision to delay naming the starter until moments before the game seemed to work out … OK. Well, Ohio State won.
No one in the postgame press conference really believed Jones at first when he said he didn't know he would start, but he was adamant about it. If anything, the intrigue added to a fun season opener. Grade: B+.

Priceless: A win, and a moment, 13 years in the making
We can't rewrite history and we can't change time.
Priceless: A win, and a moment, 13 years in the making We can't rewrite history and we can't change time. Check out this story on lohud.com: http://lohud.us/1tHY1A9
Mike Zacchio, mzacchio@lohud.com Published 10:37 a.m. ET Oct. 31, 2014
ARDSLEY -- For coaches and players, every loss hurts; some more than others, but they all hurt on some varying degree. For Ardsley, losing in last year's Section 1 Class B championship as an undefeated No. 1 seed to sorely under-ranked No. 10 Hen Hud was agonizing.
We can't rewrite history and we can't change time. As entertaining as the thought of going back in time and getting to do things over is, it's not realistic. Many of us never get a shot at redemption, and if we do, it rarely holds any of the clout the previous occasion did.
Ardsley (19-0) got another shot against Hen Hud on Thursday. It wasn't for the section championship, and it was not the same Sailors team that had beaten it a year ago. The Panthers, who returned all but one player from the 2013 roster, prevailed in four games at home, 25-19, 22-25, 25-21, 25-17, in the Class B semifinal.
Although history does not repeat itself, it does sometimes bare some striking resemblances.
The first time Panthers coach Dave Ponterio was ever scheduled to play Hen Hud was on Sept. 11, 2001. "We obviously didn't play that match," he said. When the match was rescheduled, Hen Hud won.
This year's semifinal was originally slated for Wednesday, but due to a threatening phone call in the Hendrick Hudson school district, the school was on lockdown for the second time in as many days. The match was called approximately 15 minutes before Wednesday's scheduled start time.
Ponterio, who said he had been up since 4:30 a.m. that day, had to wait for his shot at redemption, as did his team.
Ardsley's team was significantly stronger this year and Hen Hud graduated key pieces from its championship squad last year; this was Ardsley's match to lose, and most of the section knew it.
Droves of "Bleacher Creatures," the student fan section of Hen Hud, flooded the Ardsley bleachers on one side, while a mass of Ardsley parents -- both past and present -- stocked the opposing side.
Ardsley took the first the first game from the Sailors, but a late surge by Hen Hud sent the message that coach Diane Swertfager's girls would be sticking around. In the second game, Hen Hud surged out to a 15-6 lead. Similar to what the Sailors had did in the previous game, the Panthers made a late push, but were unable to undo the damage of the early deficit.
The Panthers went on a 7-4 run, putting the match all but out of hand and forcing Hen Hud to burn its final timeout of the game. Panthers junior Nicolina Chenard (pictured right), whose right knee was bandaged up from an injury she sustained against John Jay during the regular season, had her serve working all day -- hard, top-spinning and often, difficult to return.
Stepping up in the final points of Game 4, Chenard was oozing adrenaline. The powerful hitter whacked her serve over the net… over the Hen Hud defense… over the foul line… and off the Ardsley wall, inches above the blue padding, which stands about six feet high.
Had there been no wall, the ball probably would've landed in Montrose.
Chenard, laughing at the moment, paused on the court in disbelief, with perhaps a dash of embarrassment. The awkwardness subsided minutes later, when Ardsley closed out the match and advanced to its second consecutive Class B final.
The Panthers were elated, as they should've been.
The Panthers were proud, as they should've been.
And they wanted to celebrate the win.
"What are you celebrating? We didn't win anything," Ponterio cracked from the center of the court to his girls, lightheartedly, with an undertone of sincerity.
It was true. Yes, Ardsley had won a match, but it had not won any championships on Thursday. The final, scheduled for Saturday at Croton-Harmon against No. 3 Nanuet at 10 a.m., still needed to be played.
But everyone -- and apparently the Ardsley players, too -- suspected that this was the real big match. "That's the real championship match, in my opinion," said one coach. Fans and coaches alike had predicted Ardsley and Hen Hud to meet in the final again, but a difficult Sailors schedule landed them the 5-seed, placing them on the same side of the bracket as the Panthers.
Now that it is past Hen Hud -- winner of section titles in 12 of the previous 14 season -- many are expecting Ardsley to handily win its first section title since 2007. But, as Ponterio pointed out, the team has not won anything yet.
Ponterio did his best to hold back emotion in the immediate aftermath of the win, but when the gymnasium had cleared, he took in the moment, looking at the scoreboard still showing the final game score.
"I wanted this one for so long," said Ponterio, who has been at the helm of the Panthers for more than two decades. The physical toll this match -- and Hen Hud -- has taken on him over the years was evident on Thursday; Ponterio, clearly exhausted from back-to-back days of early mornings and high stress, barely stood for most of the match.
Walking around the gym, members of other Ardsley sports programs congratulated him as they saw him in their peripheral vision to the locker room. "Congrats, coach," before continuing, "and good luck in the next."
Ponterio, an already soft-spoken man, was reserved in talking about his history with Hen Hud and at Ardsley. While the lights of the gym provided a slight glare off of his glasses, you could still see that Ponterio was glassy-eyed, although there were no tears.
He rooted voice cracked at times, but never rose beyond a baritone.
If there was anyone at Ardsley who wanted this win more than Ponterio or the team, it was Karl Kelemen.
The father of former Panther, Jenny, Kelemen has now become more traditionally recognized for the shirt he donned at last year's section final: "Admission… $6.00. Volleyball sneakers… $60.00. Beating Hen Hud… Priceless."
After being snapped by Journal News photographer Carucha L. Meuse at the match, Kelemen likely still had remnants of egg on his face entering Wednesday. I decided to attend that match for two reasons: (1) Obviously to see the match; (2) To see if Kelemen would be there.
I looked through the bleachers, but did not initially see him. I did find Rick Misrok, father of former Ardsley libero Arielle Misrok, as well as Eastchester coach Kathy DePippo. I sat down with Misrok during the second game and enjoyed the remainder of the match.
While the celebrations took place on the court, I was tapped on the shoulder.
"I believe you're looking for this?"
It was Kelemen, sporting the white t-shirt underneath his checkered red plaid shirt and green jacket, beaming with a smile. While I was entertained to see that he was in attendance and wearing the shirt, the real surprise came when he showed me the back of it.
"Ardsley 2005."
It didn't make sense to me in the moment, thinking, "The final was in 2013? What is he talking about?" That's when he told me the story of how the shirt came to be.
When Ardsley made the section final in 2005 against Hen Hud, it was a similar situation to Wednesday -- one team (Hen Hud) entered as the overwhelming favorite, while the other (Ardsley) was projected by many to lose. Granted, 2014 Hen Hud had a much better shot than 2005 Ardsley did, as Kelemen described, but the two matches still had the same underlying feel.
Kelemen said that for his daughter and Ardsley, beating Hen Hud that year would have been "priceless," since they had a "one in a million" chance of beating the Sailors. Hen Hud won the match, easily.
The next season, Ardsley topped Lourdes for the Class B title, while Hen Hud --which had been bumped up to Class A -- went a perfect 23-0 en route to its first of three consecutive state championships.
Kelemen said that his daughter, who attended Duke University, worked with the basketball team when it won the national championship in 2010. He showed pictures of Jenny holding the championship trophy and said that when he told her, "This has to be the best moment of your life?" she scoffed him, citing the 2006 section win as her top moment.
We don't know how far Ardsley can go if it gets past Nanuet on Saturday. A powerful, prolific offense, the Panthers should be able to make it to the state semifinals at the Glens Falls Civic Center, but it must first make it out of Croton-Harmon.
Ponterio has led teams to the state semifinals before, but one could argue that this time -- right now -- is the best Panthers volleyball team that has ever been assembled at the school, regardless of whether or not it makes it to Glens Falls or even wins a state title.
Ponterio has won section titles before and he's won more than 300 matches with the Panthers, but something about this one will stand out from the rest. Ardsley finishing off its undefeated season against Section 1 opponents on Saturday will likely be incredible for Ponterio. If it can make it out of the state regionals, even better; if it can make the state final, tremendous; winning a state title, exhilarating; but Wednesday's win will forever be, priceless.

Whether it is a small landing by your front door or a 900 sq ft patio with bench wall seating and an outdoor fireplace, patios and walkways can add functional space to your landscape more than any other hardscape element. There are many options when it when you consider what type of material you want to use with your patios.
Pavers are available in many shapes and colors. It makes it very easy to find a style that will match other elements on your site. The other choice is whether to use a standard paver or tumbled paver. Over the last few years tumbled pavers have gained a lot of popularity. Tumbles pavers provide a softer more natural look to the landscape.
Natural stone is another option for patios and walkways. They are a great choice if you like the looks of natural stone. Natural stone is the more expensive choice for a patio. The material costs more and there is more labor involved in the installation process. Over time you may notice more shifting and possible chipping and cracking from the natural stone. It is a natural weathering process. If you like the look of natural stone but prefer the durability of pavers, in recent years they have developed pavers that look more like natural stone. It is worth noting that some paver companies have a better product for this application than others. We recommend finding a natural paver where you have trouble seeing the repeating pattern once it is laid.

Justin Bieber causes Icelandic beauty spot to be closed off

Justin Bieber has caused an Icelandic beauty spot to be closed off over safety concerns as fans flock there to take selfies at the spot where he filmed his 'I'll Show You' music video in 2015.
Justin Bieber has caused an Icelandic beauty spot to be closed off.
Fans have flocked to the Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon in south east Iceland ever since Justin filmed his 'I'll Show You' music video there in 2015 and Icelandic officials have now decided to close off the tourist attraction because of safety concerns.
Environment minister Guðmundur Ingi Guðbrandsson said: ''It's a bit too simplistic to blame the entire situation on Justin Bieber ... Rash behaviour by one famous person can dramatically impact an entire area if the mass follows.''
Fans have been climbing over ropes and ignoring signs to get a picture opportunity where Justin filmed the video and officials fear a terrible accident could happen.
Guðbrandsson added to The Guardian newspaper: ''In Justin Bieber's defence, the canyon did not - at the time he visited - have rope fences and designated paths to show what was allowed and what was not.''
Justin has been going through a rough patch as of late but he had previously promised his fans that once he's finished getting his personal life in order, he will be ready to create new music.
He wrote on social media: ''So I read a lot of messages saying you want an album .. I've toured my whole teenage life, and early 20s, I knew and as you guys probably saw I was unhappy last tour and I don't deserve that and you don't deserve that, you pay money to come and have a lively energetic fun light concert and I was unable emotionally to give you that near the end of the tour. I have been looking, seeking, trial and error as most of us do, I am now very focused on repairing some of the deep rooted issues that I have as most of us have, so that I don't fall apart, so that I can sustain my marriage and be the father I want to be. Music is very important to me but Nothing comes before my family and my health.''

Shawnee Mission Health to be AdventHealth
Shawnee Mission Health will soon be AdventHealth
Name change effective Jan. 2, 2019 as health system shifts to consumer-centric care
Adventist Health System, one of the nation's largest faith-based health care systems, with more than 80,000 employees and nearly 50 hospital campuses including Shawnee Mission Health, today announced that it will soon become AdventHealth. With the name change, the health system will move to being one consumer-centric, connected and identifiable national system of care for every stage of life and health.
Effective Jan. 2, 2019, Shawnee Mission Medical Center will become AdventHealth Shawnee Mission, and the current Prairie Star and Overland Park campuses will become AdventHealth Lenexa and AdventHealth South Overland Park. The new naming structure will allow consumers to more easily distinguish AdventHealth's care locations and services throughout the United States. While its name is changing, the organization is not changing in ownership or business structure.
"We are transforming to be a more consumer-focused health care system to better meet the needs of those we care for and the communities we serve," said Terry Shaw, president/CEO for Adventist Health System. "Becoming AdventHealth allows us to be a fully integrated and distinguishable health system across all aspects of the care continuum, while also speaking to our Christian healing ministry, message of wholeness and our rich Seventh-day Adventist roots."
The name AdventHealth signals the arrival or beginning of health and expresses a strong and clear connection to the healing and salvation that God has promised. Adventist Health System's promise of wholeness is an expression of the belief that caring for the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of every person is the key to good health.
"Shawnee Mission Health's focus on caring for the whole person – body, mind and spirit – is what we're known for in Kansas City," said Sam Huenergardt, CEO of Shawnee Mission Health. "This name change is a testament to our continued growth and commitment to provide whole-person health care across our entire system, and we're excited to see how this transformation allows us to improve the health of the Kansas City community."
Shawnee Mission Health has been part of Adventist Health System for nearly 16 years.

The Insurance theme is a new and exciting focus area for FSDT that addresses insurance, risk management and coping mechanisms.
The role of the Insurance theme is to be a market facilitator to achieve improved capacity and sustainability of the insurance sector to meet the needs of MSME's and poor men and women.
In Finscope 2013 , the uptake for insurance was 13.0% which has almost doubled from 6.8% formal insurance recorded in the 2009 Finscope. The findings from the study illustrate that the growth of the sector has been mainly on the health insurance covers and this is attributed to the growth of both the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) and the Community Health Funds (CHF). The study also highlights the product spread and the low penetration for products like education insurance, funeral and personal accident covers.
The growth of the market is hindered by two main problems and subsequent constraints in the insurance industry. The first relates to the low demand for insurance which is mainly due to low understanding by potential customers on how insurance works and negative perceptions and attitudes towards insurance. The second relates to the low growth of insurance which arises due to limited distribution channels for insurance, limited skilled insurance personnel, limited product offerings (including Microinsurance) and limitations to the Enabling environment.
In line with the National Financial Inclusion Framework (NFIF), the insurance penetration target in terms of access to one insurance product stands at 30% by 2016. This is an ambitious target that requires the need to address the two main problems and constraints, change of thinking and innovative approaches in order to ensure the target is achieved.
The MIAF, coined the "BIMA Challenge", is one of the key ways to drive the problem relating to the low growth of MI in the country. The MIAF will be a first for the country to drive innovation by the insurers. The objectives of the MIAF are firstly, to promote the fact that insurance (Microinsurance) is an effective risk management tool. Secondly, to promote the importance of the management of shocks that affect the livelihood of individuals, households and MSMEs and lastly, to drive innovation in insurance that will address the constraints in insurance penetration.
Comprehensive insurance training on MI based on set approved curricula and modules facilitated by MI specialists. The training sessions are based on the market needs assessments in order to ensure relevance and application in the work-place.
This is an initiative driven by the National Insurance Education Committee (NIEC) to work with the industry and different arms of the government and private sector to address the problem on low demand for insurance.

The track clicks to life with simple drums and guitar, the perfect soundtrack to Jason's directly-stated words. There is little ornamentation save a Beatles-esque backing vocal on the chorus, a beautiful slide guitar played by George Harrison, and Andrew Bird whistling in a distant corner.
'#8' is from Jason Trevino's new four-song self-named EP, his first release since 2014. The tracks are centered on a voice and nylon-stringed guitar, and grounded in Jason's wonderful sense of melody. All additional instruments, production, recording, and mixing were provided by Bobby Rivas.
Jason Trevino is based in San Antonio, TX. He self-identifies as a writer of "songs of rotten love" and says he "has often avoided mainstream success by creating work that is honest, uncompromising, and unique." Jason describes the new EP as "a rumination on sobriety, grief, and the hopeful search for happiness." He is a member of The Rosedale Highs, a more rock-oriented band that creates a counterpoint to his stripped-down solo work.
You can support deserving independent musicians like Jason Trevino by visiting his Bandcamp page, listening to his songs, and downloading your favorite tracks. And be sure to follow Jason on Soundcloud, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Bonus Track: 'Someone Like You,' a real scorcher by The Rosedale Highs.

Intravenous HIV Treatment Seeks FDA Approval
John McDonald
HIV/AIDS	FDA
A new way to treat HIV is in the works.
Ibalizumab, an intravenous drug, is currently in phase three of a clinical trial and so far the results look good.
"It's an intravenous agent given every two weeks," explained Dr. Brinda Emu, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Infectious Diseases at Yale School of Medicine, in a telephone conference call Thursday from Seattle. "It's really exciting. This is a new era of HIV treatment."
In the 24-week trial, patients with documented resistant to three classes of drugs prescribed to treat HIV were given an injection of Ibalizumab. The majority of the patients, Emu said, had been infected with the virus for many years – on average 20 years – and were part of an unmet population.
"I think it is life-saving," Emu said of Ibalizumab, adding that those enrolled in the trial had developed a mutation of the virus that was "most difficult to treat" and were "extremely vulnerable."

Data released from a Canadian lab shows patients in the Ibalizumab trial experienced a rise in CD4+ T cells and a reduction of viral load. Forty-three percent of the patients achieved an undetectable viral load status.
"CD4+ T cells play an important role in protecting the body from infection. The higher the CD4+ T cell count, the better able you are to fight HIV and other infections," said Emu. "This meaningful increase in CD4+ T cell counts is particularly important for patients with multidrug resistant virus, as they often have the most advanced disease. These data suggest that for these patients, Ibalizumab could be an important new treatment option," added Emu.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has designated Ibalizumab as both an "Orphan Drug" and "Breakthrough Therapy." Data from the recently completed phase three study will be submitted as part of a biologics license application to the FDA.
Emu said what makes Ibalizumab different from other HIV treatment is its intravenous administration instead of a pill dosage. If patients tolerate the drug, Emu said, it could be given in 30-minute injections every two weeks.
"There is an urgent need for a drug with a new mechanism of action for patients infected with multidrug resistant HIV-1," said Christian Marsolais, Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, Theratechnologies Inc., a Montreal based pharmaceutical company. "These results continue to support the submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA, and if approved by the FDA, Ibalizumab will be the first antiretroviral treatment with a new mechanism of action to be approved in close to 10 years," added Marsolais.

Customers often ask us why they need 360Plus for backups when they already have a recycle bin in Business Objects. Let us answer the question with a real-life example.
Recently, one of our customers applied a patch to BI 4.2. But the patch caused unexpected application issues, so IT rolled it back. Rolling back the patch resolved the issues with one major exception. The customer could no longer open ten Webi reports that had been modified after the patch was applied.
SAP informed the customer that newer Webi reports are incompatible with older versions of Business Objects. The only way to open the modified Webi reports was to reinstall the patch that the customer had already rejected.
In this case, the SAP BusinessObjects recycle bin was of little help. Fortunately, the customer also had 360Plus incremental backups, which allowed them to restore any object to any version at any time. The customer simply restored the ten affected Webi reports to versions that predated the failed patch, and they worked again!
This customer success story highlights the advantages of a 360Plus backup versus the Business Objects recycle bin. It's important to remember that deleted objects aren't the only things that sometimes need to be restored. 360Plus casts a very wide safety net and makes it possible for developers and users to take risks without worrying about irreversible consequences.


DYNASTY SILVER HONEY – The secret to great beauty!
Bee honey is derived from the nectar collected by the bees from the flowers. Honey contains the minerals required by our human body, such as calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc, and is an excellent nutritional supplement for the entire family. However, the silver bee is not same as ordinary bee because the silver bee is stingless, therefore it also named as "stingless bee", the immune capability to bee disease is stronger as well. Besides, the taste of silver honey is heavier and tastier, lower sugar level, bioflavonoid and minerals. It can cure the immune system disease, respiratory system disease, skin disease and so on. Last but not least, a natural silver honey able to enhance cell metabolism and resist illness cell grow up.

In a prelude to the main event, CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT), Hyderabad organised a curtain raiser event on December 1, 2020, to highlight the importance of the festival and create awareness among the public and students on the importance of science and technology in development of the nation.
Dr.Shekar C. Mande, DG, CSIR and Secretary, DSIR, delivered the presidential address and said people are interested to learn about the progress done at various science-based institutions. In this regard, he said the IISF that was held in Lucknow in 2018 recorded a footfall of 8 lakhs. This demonstrates that the public is curious to know the work being carried out in research laboratories and therefore it is our duty to showcase the research work to the common people. Citing the example of discovery of zero, he told that our achievements are phenomenal. Major scientific bodies like Department of Science and Technology, Department of Biotechnology, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Department of Earth Sciences, Indian Council of Medical Research along with VijnanaBharati have already organized this event in last five years with great success.

Dr.AppaRaoPodile, VC of University of Hyderabad, and Chief Guest of the event, stressed the need to promote basic science. Schools are the first places for seeds to be sown in developing an interest in science among young students. Speaking about Indian science, Dr.AppaRao said, we have been making outstanding contributions to science since long. A look at the green revolution, white revolution and blue revolution that created a self-sufficiency in staple crops, dairy products and marine products was because of our scientific interventions and we have not relied on any one. Artificial Intelligence, data science and its applications, robotic automations, virtual reality are developed at our premier institutions. Combating the current pandemic was a collective effort of various institutes in the country and in less than 10 months we are now confident to deal with the virus, including developing of new anti-viral drugs and also possible vaccines. Such an effort is difficult to envisage in most countries across the globe. Nano medicine, synthetic genome cells, synthesis of natural products and much more work in various institutes in the country is paving the way for a self-reliant India.
Dr. S Chandrasekhar, Director CSIR-IICT, in his welcome address, urged everyone to follow guidelines for control of the pandemic such as wearing of masks and avoiding public gatherings.
CSIR-North East Institute of Science & Technology (CSIR-NEIST), Jorhat also conducted the Curtain Raiser Event of IISF 2020 in virtual mode.

About Sea Urchin Harvest
The A-Z of Sea Urchins
Sea Urchins have become one of the most divine culinary seafood delicacies.
Sea urchins are one of the most popular ingredients at moment in the worlds creative kitchens. Below is an A-Z list of facts about sea urchins that you may not have known. We are taking you on a journey across the globe to see how and where sea urchin makes its mark.
Auction at Tsukuji. Sea urchin and many other sea dwelling animals (primarily tuna) are auctioned off at Tsukiji Market in Japan. At these markets there are only five sea urchin wholesalers (named Tosui, Daitogyorui, Daichi, Marunaka and Toichi). These sea urchins are not only from Japan but are also imported from other regions. Middlemen known as Nakagai can take a look and thoroughly inspect the wholesalers sea urchins from 1am. However, the auction starts between 4 and 5am. Unlike the tuna auction, the middlemen at these auctions cannot outbid each other by upping the price. Instead, they all have to raise their hands at once to show how much they are willing to pay for the Sea Urchin. The winner will then sell to their respective clients which are mostly commonly chefs.
Bread. In Italy and Spain, a common way to eat Sea Urchin is with fresh white bread. Across the noble there a few innovative and fearless chefs who have their own take on the bread-and-urchin-pairing. In San Francisco, Joshua Skenes at the restaurant Saison has created a dish called 'Liquid Toast'. The dish entails cold sea urchin on top of grilled toast that is soaked in delicious warm bread sauce (this sauce is Mae of brown butter, egg yolk and soy sauce). In the United Kingdom, chef Lee Tiernan at the restaurant Black Axe Mangal serves a delicious salt-and-sake-preserved sea urchin which is on top of a hot squid inky flat bread topped with both egg yolk and edible glitter!
Champagne. It is said that sea urchins pair nicely with vintage grower champagnes as both the minerality and acidity of the champagne lift the richness of the sea urchin. To pair with sea urchin Sandia Chang, sea urchin lover, sommelier and owner of Bulldogs (A champagne bar in London) recommends 2000 Benoit Lahaye and Selosse Substance, for non vintage she recommends Tarlant Cuvee Louis.
Dali. Salvador Dali associates himself with sea urchins in his art. He loved their natural form and their "sedative and narcotic virtues". Dali was a surrealist artist born in Catalonia in Spain and has captured sea urchins in a variety of his works, such as "The Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus (1959). It is also said that Dali himself ate 36 sea urchins for lunch one day.
Ezobafun Uni. This is one of the two main edible species of sea urchin in Japan. It is sometimes referred to as Hokkaido Aka Uni or cold water Aka Uni for its colour and origin. Ezobafun Uni are small with a shell diameter of up to 5cm. They also have short spikes ranging between 5-8mm. The gonads are bright orange, plump and short and the flavour of these urchins are rich and very sweet.
Farming. Sea urchin farming is most common in Japan, Korea and China both in the sea and on the shore. More often than not, farming within the sea is done to recultivate aquaculture based from the large depletion of stock after the fishing season. A more experimental version of sea urchin farming takes place on shore. In Okinawa, both sugarcane and banana leaves contain mineral compounds similar to the types in seaweed. These leaves are utilised as feeds for the sea urchins.
Gusal. This is a soup made from sea urchins that originates from Jeju island in South Korea. It is nice both eaten cold and hot. To make this soup, the sea urchin are boiled in a pot with seaweed.
History of Consumption. Archaelogical evidences have indicated that there was prehistoric consumption of sea urchins in North and South America, New Zealand. Evidence also shows that the Coast Salish had large sea urchin feasts.
Italian Cooking. The most well known sea urchin dish that originated from Sicily in Italy is Spaghetti ai Ricci di Mare. In Sicily, sea urchins used to grow in abundance (these days there are less due to diminishing sea algae). The dish is prepared by pan-frying the sea urchin with garlic, olive oil, parsley and then tossing in with the spaghetti.
Jeju Women Divers. These women are also known as Haenyeo, they are professional female divers who spend their days diving and catching sea products including sea urchins along the coast of Jeju Island. When diving they don't use any mechanical equipment. The history of these divers can be traced right back to the Jose Dynasty (1392-1897).
Kita Murasaki Uni. This is the other type of main edible sea urchin sold in Japan. They are sometimes referred to Shiro Uni as it has a paler colour compared to Ezobafun Uni. The shells of Kita Murasak Uni grow unto 10cm and their spikes are long ranging from 1.6cm to 3cm in length. The lobes in the type of sea urchin are pale, long and yellow, they are also recognised by their lingering aftertaste. These special sea urchins are sold for unto 130,000 JPY (1,750 AUD) per box of 400-450g.
Legs. Although sea urchins don't have legs, they can move by pumping water out of their tube feet.
Molecular Gastronomy. The Spanish sea urchins caught in Costa Brava are know for being molecularised by a Catalan native called Ferran Adria. Adria, created 'The First Foam' in 1994. It was a dish of sea urchin that was topped with a white-bean 'foam' that resembles mousse at the restaurant El Bulli. This was the first usage of of foam in gastronomy.
Nigiri. This common type of sea urchin nigiri also know as "battleship shape" or Gunkanmaki. The nigiri is made by shaping the rice into an oval shape, then a sheet f Nori seaweed is wrapped around it and lastly wasabi is added and the sea urchin is placed on top.
Omnivorous. Sea urchins are omnivorous. Although their main diet is made up of kelp, they also feed on sea cucumbers, brittle stars and mussels. The diet of each species of sea urchin is variable and this is what dictates the taste of the urchin.
Preserving. There are a variety of ways to preserve sea urchins. The most common two are salt cured (also known as Shio Uni) and preserved in sea water (also known as Ensui). Shio Uni can be cured with only salter salt and sake. The flavour is enhanced with further ageing under specific conditions, however over time the lobes of the sea urchin will use their shape and become paste like. Ensui is made but cleaning the sea urchins and then keeping them in a sterilised saltwater solution. Some processors source really deep seawater (200-300m) as it has the ability to bring out the umami in the lobes of the sea urchin. This keeps the lobe shape intact.
Quality. To tell the quality of a sea urchin, it is decided not by tasting the urchin but by observing it. In Japan, auctioneers will carefully inspect the processed box on uni. They will pay attention to the organisation and flawlessness, consistent colour, size and the scent of the lobes. They also pay attention to the reputation of each sea urchin processing company. They do not taste the sea urchin and rely on feedback from other sources regarding the taste.
Roddie Sloane. Is Scottish and provides sea urchins to the world's best chefs and restaurants. He lives in the Arctic Circle which is on the coast of Norway. He hand dives for green sea urchins in the icy water. He then provides them to chefs like Rene Redxepi, Magnus Nilsson and Esben Holmboe Bang.
Seasons. Sea urchins are not necessarily best to eat in the winter months. The type of sea urchins that are caught and prepared in each location are based upon seasonal availability. In Japan both Ezobafun and Kita Murasaki Uni are summer sea urchins and caught between March and August and June and August respectively. At Sea Urchin Harvest we dive the Centro Urchin (Centrostephanus) which is a long-spine urchin which can get up to 30 centimetres in diameter. This type of Urchin can form extensive Urchin barrens and are generally located on rocky reefs, in shallow reef habitat. The Centro Urchin is a native species of New South Wales (NSW) but has grown in population along the East Coast of Australia and can now be found as far down as Port Davey on the South West coast of Tasmania. The delicate but large Sea Urchin Roe have maximum natural sweetness which is unique to the NSW South Coast. The best months to dive for Sea Urchin Roe along this coastline is generally from December through to June, when the Roe is large and is at its peak flavor.
Tasmania. In Tasmania scientists are encouraging sea urchin fishing as a way of eco-culinary activism. The sea urchins in Australia bring havoc to the coasts by eating all the kelp which in turn drastically reduces the numbers of lobsters and abalones.
USA. The fishing of sea urchins takes places on both the East and West Coast of America. On the Set Coast, particularly in Maine, Boston the Bafun Uni is caught. On the West Coast between Santa Barbara and Mendocino in California the Amerika-Mursaki Uni is caught. The sea urchin fishing industry in America dates back to the end of the 1980's however all of the sea urchins would be exported to Japan.
Vietnamese Cooking. In Phu Quoc in Vietnam sea urchins are a speciality. Sea urchins are grilled in their shells above a charcoal fire. The flesh is then seasoned with lime, spring onions, salt and crushed peanuts.
Work. The process of cleaning sea urchin is quite a process and does require some work. To start, you crack the shell open in half and remove the lobes. Then you need to rinse the lobes in salty water. Discard of any of the extra shell and inners. You can remove the excess water by resting the lobes on paper towel. Be careful with the lobes as they are very delicate. When removing from the paper towel be careful not to damage them.
XX/XY. The gender of sea urchins is determined by examining the lobes. Males tend to have less water content and their lobes are a more vibrant colour. They also tend to stay fresher for longer. The females have paler lobes. They are softer and therefore easier to melt, therefore they do not keep as long as males, however, they are tastier.
Yellow Gonads. Inside the sea urchins, the gonads are the only edible part. They are referred to as 'lobes' or 'roe'. The colour of the gonads depends on the type of species, the gender as well as the diet of the sea urchin.
Zinc. Sea urchins are not only rich in flavour, but they are also a great source of vitamins like zinc and fatty acids.

Power Struggles in the Digital Economy Workshop held on the 3rd of November 2018 in Jersey City, NJ.
On the 3rd November 2018, the Nordic Centre for Internet and Society's own Gemma Newlands and Christoph Lutz co-ran a full-day workshop with international colleagues on 'Power Struggles in the Digital Economy: Platforms, Workers, and Markets'. The workshop formed part of the 21st ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing (CSCW 2018), which was held in Jersey City, New Jersey.
Over 25 globally-diverse participants attended the workshop, bringing together their expertise on the platform economy. The central theme of the workshop was how research on digitally mediated labor can address the ongoing power asymmetries and power struggles between workers, those requesting labor, and the platforms that enable, co-ordinate, or manage work processes and labor arrangements. The workshop included a Fishbowl discussion, a keynote by Microsoft Research's Nicole Immorlica, and a series of 'break out' sessions.
