In between the qualifications and finals at this past weekend's Freestyle.ch, it was time to see who would be crowned the best athlete overall, also known as the crossover.champ.
The startlist was based on the qualifications rounds, and contained the best 8 riders in each category. So every sport ran a qualification round (one at a time) to select the best 4 riders in each category. The best 4 freeskiers were Aleksander Aurdal, Gus Kenworthy, Martin Misof, and Simon Dumont.
Now, remember, this is not just about winning a title, but also about representing one's sport at its best. Last year Simon Dumont won for freestyle skiing with a front flip to superman. Can he do it again? Can freekiing attain a second victory in a row?
Before we find out whether or not it has been done, we will have to take a look at the competition itself. As it is obviously impossible to objectively weigh tricks done on a motorbike against those achieved with skis, this competition is not judged by a judging team but by the public. The athlete most acclaimed by the spectators wins. Simple enough, no?
After the qualification runs, each sport had the opportunity to do a "show run" to prove their value to the public, and for skiing, all the riders went on the same time on the kicker, dropping a massive show as these two guys linked together in the air.
For each sport, the riders pulled some of the world's best tricks such as the frontflip to superman, performed this year by a courageous Aleksander Aurdal, but surpassed by the master of this trick, Simon Dumont, who went bigger and bigger each run. But the "show award" for the freeskiing category should go to Martin Misof who dropped a massive switch late backflip but wasn't chosen by the public, preferring to see the "icon rider" go to the superfinal.
The snowboarders pulled huge tricks also, going much higher than most of the freeskiers, with a particular attention to Andreas Wiig who performed a huge stalefish!
Stephan Maurer pulled a trick which nobody could name, and finished with a huge crash, which could have been very dangerous. But the snowboarder was so pleased to be here that he was smiling even after his crash… So nice to see that kind of spirit.
Mat Rebeaud pulled his usual backflips without showing much innovation at all. Nearly a shame.
Simon Dumont went even higher than the run before with his frontflip to superman, but just didn't make the cut, partly due to the feeling of "seen-it-all-before". Maybe the public was waiting for some brand new tricks. However, he was more than applauded by the spectators.
Sandro Dias! Here's our new crossover.champion! And what a champion! His superfinal run was just perfect following very difficult tricks with others even more difficult and plenty of style! It was just amazing to see how misty 5 or one foot fives seem easy when Sandro's riding the vert! And even after he knew that he was the winner, applauded by all the freestyle.ch spectators, he went back in the ramp, and performed an amazing Christ air so smooth and so high! Big up to Sandro, our new champion!
Stay tuned to NS tomorrow for a full report on yesterday's finals, which saw Jacob Wester win the first major event of the 08/09 season.

Kelly Ann Prosser
On September 20, 1982, the little girl in these photos, Kelly Ann Prosser, was abducted from the University District while walking home from Indianola Elementary School. Two days later, her battered and sexually abused body was found in a cornfield in Madison County.
Today, 38 years later, Columbus Division of Police announced they had finally brought closure to Kelly Ann's family, determining that the killer was Harold Warren Jarrell, who died in 1996. Franklin County Sheriff Dallas Baldwin, who worked on the case as a CPD patrolman, was in attendance for the announcement.
The entire press conference is available here, and we urge you to at least watch from the 15:00 minute mark, where Sgt Terry McConnell reads a statement from Kelly Ann's mom, Linda. It is beautiful and gracious. It also brings home how important this moment is to this family and to all the law enforcement officers who worked on this case.
As Linda says, "There are no words to express how deeply our gratitude extends to all of you. We would especially like to thank the many Columbus Division of Police homicide detectives who have worked countless hours on this case to hold this perpetrator accountable for her murder."
Thank you. 💙

David Smith Thematic Sculpture Exhibit Opens At LACMA April 3 - Antiques And The Arts Weekly
29 Mar 2011 / 0 Comment
David Smith Thematic Sculpture Exhibit Opens At LACMA April 3
"Unity of Three forms,†1937, steel and painted aluminum, 14 by 17½ by 5 inches, private collection, courtesy the Estate of David Smith. ©Estate of David Smith/ VAGA New York.
In the first major thematic exhibition devoted to the Twentieth Century American sculptor David Smith (1906‱965), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents "David Smith: Cubes and Anarchy," April 3⁊uly 24. Organized by LACMA, the exhibition will bring together more than 100 works, including the largest grouping of Smith's monumental Cubis and Zigs brought together in more than 25 years. "Cubes and Anarchy" places these acknowledged masterpieces in context with his earlier works, revealing Smith as a sculptor whose identification with the working class motivated him to adopt the geometric forms of the constructivist avant-garde from the very first years of his career in the 1930s until his untimely death in 1965.
"Cubes and Anarchy" includes sculptures, drawings, paintings and photographs †many provided by the estate of David Smith, which lent not only significant sculptures but also revelatory sketchbooks and photos, only a few of which have been exhibited previously.
Carol S. Eliel, exhibition curator and LACMA curator of modern art, said, "'David Smith: Cubes and Anarchy' considers for the first time the entirety of the artist's career while focusing on the theme of geometry in his work."
Widely heralded as the greatest American sculptor of the Twentieth Century, Smith has often been presented as a counterpart to the Abstract Expressionist painters or as a draftsman in space. Most scholarship has viewed Smith's early work as developing in a linear fashion, from the European influences of Picasso and Cubism in the 1930s, to a figuratively based, highly detailed, American Surrealism in the 1940s, to a lyrically abstract, expressionist expansiveness in the 1950s, culminating with the seemingly disconnected breakthrough embodied in the reduced, geometric monumentality of his final works.

"Cubes and Anarchy" offers a fresh interpretation of Smith's work, revealing geometric abstraction as a constant focus throughout his career, a leitmotif that was deeply connected to the artist's self-definition. From his earliest small-scale sculptures to his last monumental works, what Smith called "basic geometric form" was a powerful touchstone for the artist. LACMA's exhibition title derives from Smith's recollection that his concept of "cubes and anarchy" stemmed from the painter John Sloan, his teacher at New York's Art Students League in the 1920s, who exposed him to Cubism, Constructivism, and progressive social movements.
While a college student, Smith worked as a welder and riveter at the Studebaker automobile factory in South Bend, Ind., and again in the early 1940s, making army tanks. A member of Local 2054 United Steelworkers of America, Smith deliberately retained his union membership for years. He affirmed the parallels between his working methods as an artist and those used by factory laborers. He said he had learned "to assemble the whole by adding its unit parts."
Smith's sculptures were exhibited not only across the United States but also internationally, including in the Venice Biennale, 1958, the São Paulo Bienal, 1959, and Documenta, 1964. His work in the early 1960s brought Smith to the forefront of international recognition. Smith died (during the planning of a major exhibition for LACMA) in an automobile accident in 1965, at the age of 59.
LACMA is at 5905 Wilshire Boulevard (at Fairfax Avenue). For information, 323-857-6000 or www.lacma.org .

Biden to announce new COVID-19 measures to fight variants
With some states seeing a record number of deaths from the coronavirus Delta variant, President Biden plans to address the nation.
WASHINGTON - With some states seeing a record number of deaths from the coronavirus Delta variant, President Biden plans to address the nation.
It's a shift in tone for a white house that, just a few months ago, was talking about moving past the pandemic.
Biden is expected to unveil a six-step plan to bring the pandemic under control.

"There are six steps the president's announcing. There will be new components. As I noted and you noted, some of that will be related to access to testing. Some will be related to mandates. Some will be related to how we ensure kids are protected in schools," said White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.
While many republicans oppose any mandates, the Senate's Republican Minority Leader urged all to get vaccinated, noting that, in his home state of Kentucky, 90 percent plus of those hospitalized with the coronavirus did not get a shot.

Юлія Анатоліївна Куварзіна (. 14 липня 1975) — російська актриса театру і кіно.

Внесена до «чистилища» бази «Миротворець».

Життєпис
Юлія Куварзіна народилася і виросла в Москві. Мама працювала вчителькою, а батько професійно займався геологією, однак їх дочка з дитинства мріяла про кар'єру актриси. Все почалося з того, що маленьку Юлю запросили на одну з центральних ролей в дитячому художньому фільмі «Пеппі Довгапанчоха». Тоді батьки заборонили дівчинці зніматися, але магія мистецтва посіяла зерно любові в серці Юлії.

У шкільні роки відвідувала художню студію — вчилася малювати. Деякий час займалась у секції спортивної гімнастики.

У 1998 році Юлія Куварзіна закінчила Школу-студію МХАТ (курс Олега Табакова), в тому ж році була прийнята до складу трупи Театру на Таганці. І нині працює в театрі на Таганці. Ведуча програми «Невипадкові зустрічі» (телеканал «Південно-захід»).

Популярність їй принесла роль в серіалі «Не народися вродливою», де вона зіграла одну з працівниць фірми «Зима-літо» Тетяну Пончєву. Як зізналася актриса, робота в серіалі «Не родись красивою» була для неї великою удачею, оскільки вдалося засвітитися в популярному проекті і звернути на себе увагу публіки та режисерів.

Також Юлія Куварзіна відома за роллю Насті (дружини Льоні) в серіалі "Вороніни. Цей проект зробив актрису широко популярною та улюбленицею глядачів.

Як педагог викладає в Школі-студії МХАТ.

Особисте життя
З 7 березня 2008 року Юлія Куварзіна вийшла заміж за актора Олексія Аптовцева (. 1975). До весілля дев'ять років мешкали разом. У подружжя є донька Єлизавета (. 7 травня 2008).

У 2017 році актриса радикально схудла — їй вдалося скинути близько 20 кілограм. За словами Юлії, схуднути вона змогла завдяки фітнесу та правильному харчуванню. Актриса звернулася за допомогою до дієтолога, який спеціально для неї розробив систему дрібного харчування. Юлія Куварзіна відмовилася від мучного, солодкого, смаженого і навіть від солі. І результат не змусив себе довго чекати.

Громадська позиція

Юлія Куварзіна свідомо порушила державний кордон України з метою проникнення до окупованого Росією Криму. Три дні з 9 по 11 березня 2017 року вона разом з іншими акторами незаконно гастролювала кримськими містами Севастополем, Сімферополем та Ялтою, граючи на сцені у спектаклі «Ох вже ця звичка одружуватися».

Performance characteristics of rigid rotor dynamic balance
TopRecommend
(Summary description)For rotors whose working speed is much lower than the critical speed, the deformation caused by the unbalance is small. This kind of rotor can be treated as a rigid body, and the dynamic balance can be carried out at a low speed, which is called the dynamic balance of a rigid rotor. When the rigid rotor is dynamically balanced, the centrifugal inertial force system caused by the unbalanced amount of each micro-segment can be simplified to two arbitrarily selected sections.
For rotors whose working speed is much lower than the critical speed, the deformation caused by the unbalance is small. This kind of rotor can be treated as a rigid body, and the dynamic balance can be carried out at a low speed, which is called the dynamic balance of a rigid rotor. When the rigid rotor is dynamically balanced, the centrifugal inertial force system caused by the unbalanced amount of each micro-segment can be simplified to two arbitrarily selected sections.
Make corresponding corrections (de-weighting or counterweighting) on these two surfaces to complete the dynamic balance. In order to find the position and size of the imbalance on the two sections, a dynamic balancing machine can be used. Common dynamic balancing machines are divided into two types: soft support type and hard support type. The former detects the vibration caused by the unbalance; the latter detects the force of the unbalanced rotor on the support. The dynamic balance problem of the rigid rotor has been solved well.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has stipulated the accuracy of the dynamic balance of various rigid rotors. Dynamic balance of the flexible rotor When a rotor working at a supercritical speed is started and braked, the speed must pass the critical speed. At this time, the unbalance will cause the rotor to deform significantly. If the deviation of the centroid of each micro-segment of the rotor on the axis of rotation has a significant impact on the deformation, the rotor cannot be treated as a rigid rotor, and the corresponding dynamic balance is called the dynamic balance of a flexible rotor.
Decompose the unbalance amount according to the natural vibration mode of each order of the rotor. If the rotational speed during dynamic balance is close to a certain critical rotational speed, the natural mode shape of this order protrudes above the other orders. By detecting the mode shape, the size and position of the correction mass needed to eliminate this order of unbalanced components can be found. Step by step, you can complete the dynamic balance.

Classic Car Appraisal Services in Azusa, California

Azusa United States
Facts about Azusa
Azusa is a city in the San Gabriel Valley, at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains in Los Angeles County, California, United States.
The A on the San Gabriel Mountains represents the city of Azusa, and can be seen within a 30-mile radius. The population was 46,361 at the 2010 census, up from 44,712 at the 2000 census. Azusa is located along historic Route 66, which passes through the city on Foothill Boulevard and Alosta Avenue.
The first Mexican settlement in Azusa was at the Rancho el Susa in 1841, a Mexican land grant from the Alta California Governor Juan Bautista Alvarado to Luis Arenas. In 1844 Arenas sold the rancho's land to Henry Dalton, an English immigrant and wealthy merchant from the Pueblo of Los Angeles, for $7,000. He renamed it Rancho Azusa de Dalton, and had built a winery, distillery, vinegar house, meat smokehouse, and flour mill. Also, a vineyard was planted. Dalton built a house here on a place known as Dalton Hill, near 6th Street and Cerritos Avenue in Azusa.
The 1870 US Census listed the area as the township of Azusa - El Monte Township and 1880 US Census listed the area as the township of San Josi and Azusa. There were a few corrections to cross out the San Josi name on most of the census pages, but this was done sporadically and there remain many index errors in the online census due to these errors.
The completion of the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley Railroad in January 1887, later sold to the Santa Fe railroad, brought new people looking for homes and investment opportunities in Azusa. The Gold Line Foothill light rail line is being built on the old rail right-of-way. Part of this land boom was the short lived (1887-1905) town of Gladstone, now part of Azusa.


Moyes has the backing of Sir Alex Ferguson, who confirmed his retirement on Wednesday, and his first official competitive game will be the Community Shield against either Manchester City or Wigan at Wembley on August 11.
Moyes said: "It's a great honour to be asked to be the next manager of Manchester United. I am delighted that Sir Alex saw fit to recommend me for the job. I have great respect for everything he has done for the football club.
"I have had a terrific job at Everton, with a tremendous chairman and board of directors and a great set of players," he added. "Between now and the end of the season, I will do everything in my power to make sure we finish as high as possible in the table.
"When we discussed the candidates that we felt had the right attributes, we unanimously agreed on David Moyes," said Ferguson. "David is a man of great integrity with a strong work ethic. I've admired his work for a long time and approached him as far back as 1998 to discuss the position of assistant manager here."

Dave Grohl Spotted in the Audience at AC/DC Show Rocking Devil Horns
By Christopher Scapelliti
Dave Grohl was seen rocking out with concertgoers at AC/DC's show on September 17 at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.
The Foo Fighters guitarist, who was decked out with a set of AC/DC devil horns, caught the eye of actress Greice Santo, who posted the video below. Santo told Alternative Nation, "To see one of my favorite artists Dave Grohl, who played with the legendary Nirvana and now with his own kick-ass band the Foo Fighters, rocking out to AC/DC fronted by Axl Rose, you can't have a better concert experience than that!
"We were all going crazy seeing how another rock star like Dave Grohl was a fan just like us, sitting right near us with his lit devil horns on and singing every song. That was one of the coolest experiences we ever had and I can speak for all of us!"
Grohl certainly could have had any seat in the house he wanted or a prime backstage spot. For one thing, he's Dave Grohl. But fans will also recall that after AC/DC singer Axl Rose busted his foot last April, Grohl loaned him the guitar-studded throne he used after he broke his leg at Foo Fighters' show in Gothenburg, Sweden, on June 12, 2015.In related news, musician Damien Curry recently said Grohl is at work on a new album. Curry ran into Grohl in Los Angeles and posted a photo of the two on his Instagram.
"Not a bad way to start the day," Curry wrote. "I don't ever really care too much for 'famous' musicians, but my close friends know how gangster I am about Nirvana and this guy!
"Dave Grohl talked about our kids, his new record, producing... man... what a kool kat. The 12 year old in me just lost his shit."
It's not known if Grohl is working on a solo record or one with Foo Fighters. At last report, the band is on hiatus while recovering from last year's lengthy tour.

[HOUR ONE]
-The show began with a three minute video package of scenes from WrestleMania 38 including match clips, ring entrances, and various other moments.
-They went to the arena where the lights were turned down. Some fans chanted "Cody!" Cody's theme then played. He came up through what he calls the Cody-a-vater (elevator). He was, of course, in his suit. They used the Omos camera angle aimed up to make him seem larger than life. They showed fans holding up a sign that said, "Welcome Home Cody!" The lift actually raises Cody above the stage so he has to walk down a ramp to the base level of the stage. When he entered the ring and his music stopped, some fans chanted "Welcome back!" He milked the moment and then another "Cody!" chant started. He then said, "So, what do you guys want to talk about?"
He said it's been 47 days since the abrupt news that he was a free agent. He said chose to remain silent. "I heard stories, defamatory whispers, theories that surmised to be nonsense. Everyone thinks the decision to return to WWE was difficult. It was not." He was cheered. He said it was simple. "The star that left them in the dust, the man standing here now having signed a multi-year agreement with World Wrestling Entertainment, and if there was…" A chant of "You deserve it" interrupted him.
He said if there was a glimmer of doubt or a shred of trepidation, the moment he rose up in front of 70,000-plus fans and defeated Seth Rollins, "that doubt was eradicated." He said he's an avid reader and he stumbled across the quote, "A man often finds his destiny on a path he takes to avoid it." He asked fans to humor him as he pointed everyone to the tron. It showed Dusty Rhodes on Sept. 26, 1977 at Madison Square Garden. Fans chanted, "Dusty! Dusty!" He said that's his father. He said they know him as a legend, the Son of a Plumber, and a common man. He voice cracked as he said, "To me, he was my hero." He talked about the photo of his dad. He said he was holding the championship that eventually Hulk Hogan, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, and Triple H would get their hands on.
He said that photo was on the mantle of his parents' bedroom until his dad's last day. He said as he got "hip to the industry," he said to his dad when he was eight years old, "I didn't know you were champion like Hulk Hogan." He said he looked at him with the same eyes that Liberty, his daughter has, that he won the match, but because it was by countout, he didn't take home the championship belt. He said he knew then not what he wanted to do, but what he needed to do. He said he needed to win that championship and bestow it to the hands of his dad and say no one can take it away from him. He said many are familiar with his journey, but not everyone is. He said the dream died right in front of him and that opportunity passed, "or did it?" His voice went from cracking to forceful. He said he can't put that belt in his father's hands, but he can put it around the waist of the American Nightmare. Fans applauded and then chanted, "Cody!" Fans chanted, "You can do it!"
He said his silence is broken and he now stands before everyone ready. He said he's going to give the distinction that his family has long since been denied. "I'm going to do it for you, I'm going to do it for me, I'm going to do it for my family, and I'm going to do it for the 'American Dream' Dusty Rhodes."
Seth Rollins' music then interrupted. He entered the ring and acted like his usual self. But then he shook Cody's hand. He said some final words off-mic before leaving the ring. Cody stared at him. Then he looked down with a quizzical look.
(Keller's Analysis: I am a big fan of mission statements, and that promo had focus and emotions that gave the mission statement resonance. Cody quickly got past his desire to frame his departure from AEW as being about his desire to return to WWE, not any falling out with fellow EVPs or Tony Khan or discontent with the AEW situation including the fan rejection of him in his final months. I get that he wants to put that out there for both storyline and pride purposes. While he can deny those reports and frame them as nonsense, people can decide for themselves what makes the most sense given the totality of what they saw with their own eyes and what was credibly reported from sources within AEW. Cody showed the connection he can have with fans, especially when his storyline isn't sidetracked with meandering meta-nonsense and Cody-verse sideshow stuff and is part of the main event scene built around winning matches and aspiring to become champion. Cody is being given a deserved fresh start here in WWE and he got the reception he deserves. The crowd welcomed him, but there is room to grow those cheers to be louder and more passionate. This promo took steps in that direction. Although Cody joked around at the post-WrestleMania media Q&A about planning to disregard WWE writer suggestions for what he says and how he says it, his promos will be better off because of WWE's more hands-on approach. He'll also be better off outside of the role that ultimately wasn't a great fit – that being part of a management team that lacked chemistry and turned out to be dysfunctional and whose power was greatly diminished once Tony Khan took the reins of creative just a few months into the companies run on TNT.)
-They went to the announcers at ringside to react to Cody's return. Saxton said Seth's reaction wasn't expected. Graves called it a display of respect. Saxton asked, "Was that what it was?" Graves said Seth told him, "Welcome home." Jimmy Smith pivoted to plugging that Roman Reigns would be on Raw later with both title belts plus Finn Balor & RK-Bro vs. The Usos & Austin Theory and an appearance by Bianca Belair.
-Naomi and Sasha Banks made their ring entrance.
-WrestleMania freeze-frame images aired. [c]
-More WrestleMania freeze-frame images aired.
(1) SASHA BANKS & NAOMI vs. RHEA RIPLEY & LIV MORGAN
A few minutes in Sasha hit Morgan with a flying knee off the ring apron. Ripley followed by leaping at Sasha with a flip dive. Naomi leaped over the top rope onto Ripley at ringside, then threw her into the ring, landed a legdrop, and scored a two count. They cut to a break. [c]
Banks tagged in and head scissored Morgan to the mat. She hit two Meteoras in the corner followed by a running boot to Morgan's face. Sasha then leaped off the top rope with a Meteora for a near fall. Morgan eventually tagged out to Ripley. They double-teamed Sasha and scored a near fall. Sasha tagged out to Naomi and they gave Morgan their new double-team Code Breaker finish.
WINNERS: Naomi & Sasha in 9:00.
(Keller's Analysis: This felt rushed and a bit clunky when trying to fit everything into two three minute segments on either side of the break.)
-As Sasha and Naomi celebrated, Ripley looked upset with the loss. When Morgan stood, Ripley turned and left her in the ring. Morgan looked upset and confused.
-Kevin Owens made his entrance, walking past Ripley on the stage on his way to the ring. [c]
-Owens stood mid-ring and said he might have made a mistake at WrestleMania when he had "Stone Cold" Steve Austin on his KO Show. He said he tricked him into a match, but Austin was better than he expected. He said he is still great. He said you have to be great to beat someone of his caliber, one of the greatest Superstars to ever step foot in the ring. He said he tricked himself a little bit because he went into the match with a bad back. He said he wasn't lying. He said he was lifting a lot of weights the day before and hurt himself. He said he should have gone home and shouldn't have even been there, but he knew the WWE Universe deserved a great main event. "I put myself at risk for all of you," he said. He said as great as that win was for Austin, there should be a clarification in the record books that it came over someone not at 100 percent.
Owens was interrupted by a person named Ezekiel. It was a clean-shaven Elias in wrestling trunks. Graves said he recognizes who it is. Saxton asked if that was Elias. Graves said to the untrained eye, maybe, but it's absolutely not. KO looked at him and said, "Elias, is that you?" He said, "I am not Elias." He said he is Elias's younger brother. He said his name is Ezekiel. "What?" asked Owens. He said he recognizes his eyes. He restated that he is Elias's younger brother, Ezekiel again. Owens said he got beer in his eyes on Saturday, but his eyes still work. Owens told him to stop lying because he hates liars. Ezekiel said then he just hate himself. He said he lost to Stone Cold and got stunned. KO said, "You know what? I don't like you." Fans chanted, "You got stunned." Owens said he never liked him and he likes him less now. He said he has about ten seconds to get out of his ring or else. He counted down from ten. Ezekiel didn't move. When he got down to one, he dropped the mic and walked out.
(Keller's Analysis: I'm not so sure about this relaunch of Elias. I won't miss the Elias character, though.)
-Graves congratulated Bad Bunny for the "Best Musica Urbana Album."
-Dominik Mysterio made his way to the ring, accompanied by his father Rey Mysterio. [c]
-Clips aired from Miz & Logan Paul vs. The Mysterios and then Miz turning on Logan afterward.
(2) THE MIZ vs. DOMINIK MYSTERIO (w/Rey Mysterio)
Dominik got in some early offense after ducking a Miz punch. He head scissored Mi, but then Miz dropped him over the top rope and hit a Skull Crushing Finale less than a minute in to pin him.
WINNER: Miz in under 1:00.
-As Miz celebrated and as Rey checked on Dominik, Veer Mahaan came out to the ring. Miz rolled out of the ring, then attacked Dominik and Rey. He side slammed Rey, then put Dominik in a modified camel clutch. Dominik tapped out as he gasped for life. Graves said Veer made the WWE Universe wait for months for his arrival. Smith said he "wiped out the Mysterios." Smith said the rest of the roster is now on notice.
(Keller's Analysis: Is that writing of Dominik from main roster TV for a while? Or was this match just a way to get Miz in the ring for the post-match angle?)
[HOUR TWO]
-The announcers touted WrestleMania as corporate media site headlines about the event were shown on the screen.
-Bianca Belair made her ring entrance. [c]
-More WrestleMania highlights were shown.
-Belair danced mid-ring as her music faded. He was holding up the Raw Title. She thanked the fans for never giving up on her. She took off her sunglasses and showed a black eye. Fans then chanted, "You deserve it!" (Their timing wasn't great there.) She thanked Becky for what she did to her at Summerslam because that helped her discover how much better she can be. She said she learned that "just like that it can all be taken away from me, and that hurt." She said she didn't cheat to get her title back. She said Becky came for her throat and her hair and her eye. She said she still caught everything she had aimed at her. She said no woman is prepared to do what it takes to take that title away from her "because after Saturday, I am different and I am better." She told Becky to maybe take this down time to find out who she is without the championship. She went into how she is the "est" to close the interview. Her music played and pyro blasted. Saxton said she is more appreciative and knows she has to be better every night.
-Smith threw to a video package on Bron Breaker.
-Dolph Ziggler made his entrance, accompanied by Robert Roode. [c]
(3) DOLPH ZIGGLER (w/Robert Roode) vs. BRON BREAKKER – NXT Title match
During Breakker's entrance, Graves talked about him being the son of new Hall of Famer Rick Steiner. They did formal ring introductions for the title match. Ziggler slapped Breakker before the bell. Breakker just smiled. Ziggler charged when the bell rang, but Breakker grabbed him and shoved him hard into the corner. He gave Ziggler a belly-to-belly. Ziggler rolled to ringside. Ziggler chased him back into the ring. Back in the ring, Ziggler stomped Breakker and took control. Ziggler yelled, "This is the big leagues, idiot!" Breakker caught Ziggler mid-air and turned it into a snap powerslam. Breakker catapulted Ziggler into teh corner. Graves said Breakker learned from Saturday and is ready for everything Ziggler is throwing at him. Saxton said Breakker is known as a student of the game who correct his mistakes. Ziggler knocked Breakker off balance on the top rope, then knocked him to the floor. They cut to a break at 3:00. [c]
Ziggler dominated after the break until Breaker countered a telegraphed superkick with a spear. Breakker then finished Ziggler with a press and drop powerslam. Breaker celebrated as his music played.
WINNER: Breaker in 11:00 to capture the NXT Title.
(Keller's Analysis: The match was fine, but it wasn't electrifying by any means. Breakker isn't leaping off the screen on Raw as a big star yet. He feels a little cold being dropped onto Raw without a backstory within the Raw narrative.)
-Smith hyped that Bobby Lashley would be out next. [c]
-MVP stood mid-ring and said, "They say that action speak louder than words." He said Lashley's actions spoke volumes at WrestleMania. He said he single-handedly triumphed over the Goliath that was terrorizing Raw for a year "and he didn't even need me!" He introduced Lashley. Lashley made his entrance. Fans chanted "Bobby! Bobby!" Lashley talked about how at first when he stepped into the ring to Omos, he wondered whether it was the right challenge to have made. He said the mean beat the hell out of him and tossed him around the ring. He said he was the strongest man he's ever been in the ring with. He said he almost felt hopeless for a moment. He said he realized if Omos made a mistake, he'd have to capitalize on it. He said that's exactly what happened. Omos interrupted. Omos entered the ring and said he wanted a rematch. He yelled that Lashley's win was a fluke. MVP declared that he wants a rematch. MVP then juped Lashley from behind with the mic. He then mounted Lashley and punched away at him. He kept yelling at Lashley, "You don't need me, huh?" Omos then took over the attack and did what MVP told him to do. Saxton said it's almost surreal to watch. Fans chanted, "You suck!"
-They replayed a clip of Ripley abandoning Morgan after their loss earlier.
-Backstage, Morgan approached Ripley and asked what that was all about earlier. Ripley said she convinced Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville to give them a tag team title match next week after all. Morgan was happy and said that makes up for what happened earlier.
-Carmella began her ring entrance. Queen Zelina joined her. Smith said their inability to get along cost them at WrestleMania. He asked if they can bounce back on Raw. [c]
-Zelina told Carmella it was her fault they ost at WrestleMania. Zelina said Graves is a fool for marrying her. "However, he is a very handsome man," Zelina said with a suggestive tone. Carmella yanked the mic away from her and said she is the most beautiful woman in WWE. She informed Zelina that she wouldn't be one of her bridesmaids anymore, but she could be one of her flower girls instead. Zelina punched Carmella. Carmella leaped into the lap of Graves. Zelina yanked Carmella off of him. Graves helped Carmella up. They began making out.
(Keller's Analysis: Who are we supposed to like here?)
-Clips aired of what happened with Pat McAfee vs. Austin Theory.
-The Usos gave Theory a hard time about losing to McAfee. Theory said he had him beat and he remains the best investment Vince McMahon ever made. He talked about taking Balor down later.
-RK-Bro made their ring entrance. [c]
[HOUR THREE]
(4) RK-BRO (Randy Orton & Riddle) & FINN BALOR vs. THE USOS & AUSTIN THEORY
Balor's ring entrance took place. Then the Usos and Theory made their entrances. They cut to a break a few minutes in with Riddle hurt at ringside. [c]
A few minutes after the break, Theory snuck in a blind tag that Orton didn't see. Orton thought he was about to finish off Jimmy Uso when Theory surprised him with a dropkick. Balor kicked Theory and then went for a double stop off the top rope, but Theory moved. Theory went for his finisher, but Balor countered and scored a near fall. Orton then caught Jimmy with an RKO. Jey superkickd Orton. Riddle leaped at Jimmy, but Jimmy superkicked him. Balor hit Jey, but then Theory gave him his finisher for the win. Smith called it "redemption" for Austin Theory. Theory took a selfie of him standing over Balor. He joined the Usos in celebrating in the aisle. Then he took a selfie of them together.
WINNERS: Theory & The Usos in 9:00.
-A video package aired on Edge vs. A.J. Styles.
-Edge made his ring entrance under blue light with the arena lights off otherwise. [c]
-Edge said he did what he vowed to do to Styles at WrestleMania. He said what he didn't expect was Damian Priest to show up. He said Priest went through the same thing that he did, trying to please the sheep. Fans chanted "We are sheep!" Edge said, "Very telling, idiots!" Edge demanded that everyone rise. Fans didn't. Edge got upset. He said they should rise for the man who respects his message and who will be the punishment for the guilty. Priest made his entrance. Priest said for weeks leading into WrestleMania he was lost. Priest said at one time he would have cared about the fans booing him. He said not anymore. He said Edge's message gave him direction. He said he knows Edge was speaking to Styles, but it felt like he was speaking to him. "That's why it was so easy to make the decision to pledge my loyalty to you," he said. Edge said they judged Styles at WrestleMania and they will do the same to anyone who challenges their message. He said he knows Styles will keep coming. He said he asked for the pitbull and he got it, but pitbulls don't know when it's time to take flight instead of fighting. He told him to think of his children.
Styles marched to the ring. Priest met him in the aisle. Styles threw him over the ringside barricade, then attacked Edge in the ring. He threw Edge shoulder-first into the ringpost. Then he grabbed two chairs and slid them into the ring. Styles placed a chair under Edge's head. Priest returned to the ring and saved Edge from further punishment. He kicked away at Styles in the corner. Priest held up Styles for Edge to then spear him. WWE officials came out to restore order and check on Styles. [c]
-More WrestleMania highlights aired.
(5) THE STREET PROFITS (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) vs. ALPHA ACADEMY (Chad Gable & Otis) – Texas Tornado match
Back and forth action for a few minutes. They cut to a break a few minutes in with Gable and Otis in control. [c]
Back from the break, Gable and Otis set up a table mid-ring. Ford fought back against Gable on the top rope. Dawkins put Gable on the table. Ford then leaped off the top rope with a frog splash for the three count.
WINNERS: The Profits in 9:00.
-A video package aired on Roman Reigns beating Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38. [c]
-Reigns made his entrance with Paul Heyman and the Usos behind him. Reigns looked around at the booing fans. He wore a t-shirt that said "Greatness On A Different Level Mode" (i.e. GOD Mode). His music stopped and Heyman clutched both title belts and looked at Reigns with adulation. Reigns said he knows what they want and why they're there. He said they're going to change things up a little it, though. He asked Heyman to explain the Bloodline success. Heyman explained that the Usos are the longest-reigning tag champs in the history of Smackdown. He said Reigns was in the main event of the largest box office receipts of any Summerslam. He said the same about WrestleMania and the Royal Rumble. He said Reigns was on top of the first billion dollar year for WWE (thanks, Saudi Arabia). He touted a 58 percent increase of viewership on Peacock compared to last year. "Who was on top? Roman Reigns." He added that he is "the single biggest star in sports entertainment, undisputed."
Reigns said the wise man always says what's good for Roman Reigns is good for WWE. He said it's no secret that with him at the head of the table, the billion dollar deals are coming easy. "That is because I'm the last needle mover." He said that happens because he is operating at God Mode. He said he is also a man of his word. He said he called his shot and he delivered. He said he was going to smash Lesnar and he smashed him. He said that's the past now. He said other men would hang their hat on this weekend, but he's never content. "I'm a progressive Tribal Chief and I'm constantly moving forward." He said this Friday on Smackdown, they'll let everyone know what the next step is. He then told Dallas to acknowledge him.

Ex-White House adviser Steve Bannon indicted in border wall scheme
The charges are that he and three others ripped off donors to an online fundraising scheme "We Build The Wall."

NEW YORK — Former White House adviser Steve Bannon was arrested Thursday on charges that he and three others ripped off donors to an online fundraising scheme "We Build The Wall."
The fundraiser was headed by men who pushed their close ties to President Donald Trump, giving their effort a legitimacy that helped them raise more than $25 million. They touted their effort to help the president realize his vision of a "big beautiful" border wall along the U.S.-Mexico line, especially after his effort to redirect millions in government funds, was held up through lawsuits.
But according to the criminal charges unsealed Thursday, very little of the wall was actually constructed. Instead, the money lined the pockets of some of those involved. Bannon received over $1 million himself, using some to secretly pay co-defendant, Brian Kolfage, the founder of the project, and to cover hundreds of thousands of dollars of Bannon's personal expenses.
Kat Cammack, who just won the GOP nomination to replace U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho, previously touted support from Kolfage and We Build the Wall.

According to the indictment, Bannon promised that 100 percent of the donated money would be used for the project, but the defendants collectively used hundreds of thousands of dollars in a manner inconsistent with the organization's public representations.
They faked invoices and sham "vendor" arrangements, among other ways, to hide what was really happening, according to the indictment. "All money donated to the 'We Build the Wall' campaign goes directly to wall!!! Not anyone's pocket," the lawsuit said.
Bannon is among a stunning list of former Trump associates who have found themselves under indictment or in jail, including his former campaign chair, Paul Manafort, his longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen, and his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn.

An immigration plan unveiled by Trump last year had included a proposal to allow public donations to pay for his long-promised southern border wall. At that point, the GoFundMe campaign launched by war veteran Brian Kolfage had raised more than $20 million for wall construction.
But Trump later denounced the project publicly, tweeting last month that "I disagreed with doing this very small (tiny) section of wall, in a tricky area, by a private group which raised money by ads. It was only done to make me look bad, and perhaps it now doesn't even work. Should have been built like rest of Wall, 500 plus miles," he said.
The defendants learned last October from a financial institution that the "We Build the Wall" campaign might be under federal criminal investigation and took additional steps to conceal the fraud, according to the indictment.
Charges included conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Kolfage did not return a call seeking comment, but according to the indictment, he once said: "It's not possible to steal the money. I can't touch that money. It's not for me."
A phone at the office of Bannon's lawyer went unanswered Thursday morning. A spokeswoman for Bannon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It was not immediately clear who would represent Kolfage at an initial court appearance, and his phone was unanswered.
The indictment said Kolfage "went so far as to send mass emails to his donors asking them to purchase coffee from his unrelated business, telling donors that the coffee company was the only way he 'keeps his family fed and a roof over their head.'"
Some donors wrote directly to Kolfage saying they did not have a lot of money and were skeptical of online fundraising campaigns, the indictment said. It added that Kolfage would reassure the donors that nobody was being compensated.
In fact, the indictment said, an arrangement had been made among Bannon and his codefendants to pay Kolfage $100,000 up front and an additional $20,000 monthly.
Kolfage eventually spent some of the over $350,000 he received on home renovations, payments toward a boat, a luxury SUV, a golf cart, jewelry, cosmetic surgery, personal tax payments and credit card debt.
We Build the Wall, launched on Dec. 17, 2018, originally promoted a project for 3 miles of fence posts in South Texas that was ultimately built and largely funded by Fisher Industries, which has received about $2 billion in funding for wall contracts. Tommy Fisher, CEO, didn't respond to calls for comment.
In 2019, Kolfage and Fisher successfully constructed a half-mile of bollard-style border fence on privately donated land in New Mexico near of El Paso, Texas. We Build The Wall used early construction to fundraise for more cash and more private land donations in along border states.
Construction faced resistance by local authorities in New Mexico and Texas and accusations of improper permitting. In May, federal officials found that a section of Fisher's privately-funded wall violated flood construction standards along the Rio Grande. It also caused erosion.
Dustin Stockton, who helped start the campaign then left the project to work on the upcoming presidential election, said it seemed clear that federal prosecutors were "attacking political infrastructure that supports President Trump right before the election."
He could not comment on the specific charges yet. He was not charged in the case.
Bannon led the conservative Breitbart News before being tapped to serve as chief executive officer of Trump's campaign in its critical final months, when he pushed a scorched earth strategy that included highlighting the stories of former President Bill Clinton's accusers. After the election, he served as chief strategist during the turbulent early months of Trump's administration.
The blunt-spoken, combative Bannon was the voice of a nationalistic, outsider conservatism, and he pushed Trump to follow through on some of his most contentious campaign promises, including his travel ban on several majority-Muslim countries. But Bannon also clashed with other top advisers, and his high profile sometimes irked Trump. He was pushed out in August 2017.
Bannon, who served in the Navy and worked as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs before becoming a Hollywood producer, has been hosting a pro-Trump podcast called "War Room" that began during the president's impeachment proceedings and has continued during the pandemic.
Kobach, a conservative firebrand and the former Kansas secretary of state, lost his race for Senate in Kansas earlier this month. Kobach is known nationally for advocating restrictive immigration policies and his name was tossed around for a possible position in Homeland Security that never came to fruition.
Kolfage was interviewed a day before the indictment was unsealed by Bannon on Bannon's "War Room" podcast. He discussed a dispute with the fundraising platform and encouraged future donors to go straight to their website.
Bannon asked him whether he thought the wall could get built in order for Trump to fulfill his campaign promise.
"I think we stand in a pretty good spot, as long as he gets elected," Kolfage said.

Jul. 1, 2015 Press Release Biology
Why human egg cells don't age well
When egg cells form with an incorrect number of chromosomes—a problem that increases with age—the result is usually a miscarriage or a genetic disease such as Down syndrome. Now, researchers at the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Japan have used a novel imaging technique to pinpoint a significant event that leads to these types of age-related chromosomal errors. Published in Nature Communications, the study shows that as egg cells mature in older women, paired copies of matching chromosomes often separate from each other at the wrong time, leading to early division of chromosomes and their incorrect segregation into mature egg cells.
Most cells have two copies of each chromosome—one from each parent. Immature egg cells begin this way, but are transformed through a process called meiosis into mature egg cells that only have one copy of each chromosome. At the beginning of meiosis each chromosome copies itself and joins with its matching pair to form a group of four chromosomes that swap genetic material.
These groups of four chromosomes—called bivalents—then split apart into single pairs, and the cell divides. One part continues as the egg cell and the other part degrades. In the second stage of meiosis, the single pairs of chromosomes—two sister chromatids joined in the middle—separate and the egg cell divides again in the same way, leaving a single mature egg cell with one copy of each chromosome.
"What we found," explains team leader Tomoya Kitajima, "is that in older cells, the bivalents sometimes separate early, and this leads to division of sister chromatids in the first stage of meiosis, rather than in the second stage."
To determine the most common type of age-related segregation errors, the researchers first used a novel high resolution imaging technique to visualize chromosomes in live mouse egg cells throughout the whole first stage of meiosis. They found that chromosomes were always distributed correctly in young egg cells, but that a little less than 10% of older cells suffered from segregation errors. Closer examination of the chromosome-tracking data showed that the dominant type of error was predivision of sister chromatids, and not movement of intact chromosome pairs to only one of the new cells.
The tracking data also allowed researchers to go back in time and look at what was happening to chromosomes that eventually segregated incorrectly. They found that a large majority of them had been part of bivalents whose connection between paired chromosome copies had become hyperstretched and then snapped earlier in meiosis, leaving single pairs.
The researchers then confirmed that the number of singly paired chromosomes—also called univalents—was higher in older mouse and even human egg cells, indicating that age-related segregation errors could be tracked back to increased numbers of prematurely separated chromosome pairs. "We were surprised and pleased that the vast majority of errors are preceded by a single common event—bivalent separation," says Kitajima. "Now we can focus our efforts on developing an artificial tie to suppress premature separation and on understanding the molecular mechanism underlying the age-related reduction in bivalent cohesion that appears to precede it."

David Title on Collaboration and Interactivity
By David Title
As the Chief Engagement Officer at Bravo Media, and a participant on the panel, I've seen just how vital this can be to the success of both event-based and long-term endeavors.
For years, Bravo has produced large-scale and small-scale projection mapping displays. When Mercedes approached us about projection mapping on the side of a car, we were excited. Their question, though, was not "How cool will it look?" but "How can it be interactive?" And not just interactive, but capable of generating social buzz and collateral.
Our solution was to create a custom iPad app that lets guests "paint" right onto the side of the latest Mercedes convertible themselves and see their paint job appear in real time thanks to mapped projection. The result was not only a great looking display, but a display that generated a steady stream of social activations as guests designed, photographed, and shared their one-of-a-kind creations.
Of course, when it comes to AV, the move from one-way to interactive displays presents a whole new range of challenges. In the case of the Mercedes project, it was no longer simply sourcing a projector with the proper lumens. Now the project had to integrate projectors, tablets, lighting, and data capture. It had to be designed and installed such that it would not be disrupted by constant human contact. A far cry from a flat screen on a wall.
With the demand for interactive displays increasing by the day, it means that AV suppliers, content producers, and clients really need to all be at the table on day one. For the AV suppliers, it is essential to understand the full range of functionality required and the degree of physical impact a particular interaction might create. For content producers, having the complete range of available and viable AV options on the table from the beginning will provide guidance when crafting the nature of both the content and the interactive experience. Most importantly, the client will be able to see how their choices might impact either the range of AV options or the range of content/ interactivity that can be provided.
This sort of day-one collaboration is certainly a change in the status quo. For it to be successful, it is going to require a deeper sense of trust among all parties and a desire to collaborate for the greater good of the overall endeavor. It can no longer be a question of, "How do I get my company the biggest percentage of the budget?" but instead, "How can I work with the other key players to deliver the greatest value to my client?"

A Cat Was the Best Man at His Human Parents' Wedding, and I've Never Been More Jealous
Photos of a Cat Who Was the Best Man in a Wedding
June 22, 2019 by Murphy Moroney First Published: June 17, 2019
As someone who is getting married in a few short weeks, I would love more than anything for my cats to be a part of my big day. However, based on the fact they're largely scared of their own shadows and scream at the top of their lungs when they go to the vet, this isn't possible. But for Michelle and Aaron Benitez, newlyweds and parents to their adorable cat Prince Michael, incorporating their fur baby into their wedding day was priority number one. So much so, that the pair actually made Prince Michael the best man, and Jonnie and Garrett — an Arizona-based couple who both happen to be photographers — captured every moment.
"My husband adopted him, and we've had him for almost five years now," Michelle told POPSUGAR. "Michael's a huge part of our lives and really important to us. It would have almost been weird not to have him part of our wedding day!"
"He walked down the aisle with all the groomsmen and was dressed in his own suit."
Although some pets would be absolutely petrified to spend the day in front of dozens of wedding guests, Prince Michael is a completely different story. "He's always been accustomed to being around a lot of people," explained Michelle, who noted that Aaron used to walk him on a leash in New York City. "He does so well, he has the personality of a dog in many ways."
Naturally, he was a hit among Michelle and Aaron's guests. "Everyone who attended our wedding loved him," said Michelle. "He walked down the aisle with all the groomsmen and was dressed in his own suit. They especially loved him during a few of our last dances. We brought him out and hoisted him in the air. People went wild!"
Read ahead to get an up-close-and-personal look at Michelle and Aaron's special day with Prince Michael by their side.

We understand that not all use cases are included in any pricing calculator. PicturEngine wants to give image buyers direct access to photographers to negotiate a price when necessary. The Make Offer system automates this process. Buyers price images as closely to the appropriate usage as possible, then click on the Make Offer button. Image buyers put in the offer notes section any important information that the photographer should consider when deciding on the offer. These notes should detail any out of scope terms and will be included in the image license. Photographers will receive instant notification of an offer and have a chance to review the offer and make one of three selections: 1) Accept the offer as is, 2) Decline the offer altogether, or 3) make a Counteroffer. If the photographer chooses to make a counteroffer, they can enter notes to define the usage terms better. Once an offer has been Accepted, Declined, or Countered, the buyer is sent a notification that the image is in their cart ready to check out.
