ZANESVILLE – Few have risen to the Ultimate Fighting Championship as quick as Mike King.
The 2002 Tri-Valley graduate recently became the fourth fighter — Jon Jones, Ronda Rousey and Chris Weidman are the others — to earn that honor with less than 10 professional bouts.
It's more impressive since King started mixed martial arts six years ago and turned pro in 2011.
"Most people are competing for (UFC) championships by the time they are 24 or 25, and I didn't become pro until I was 27," King said. "Everything has worked out with the right girl and right support. It's rare to become successful so quickly, but I've kept my head down and done what I've needed to."
His fiancée, Elizabeth Bland, prepares King's meals. Several sponsors — seven from Muskingum County — have come on board to provide financial support.
King, 31, credited that backing to playing a role in his rise.
"The support from here fuels me on a daily basis," King said. "This is a small area, but I hear a lot of people talking or mentioning me. I want to do anything I can to help the area, but to see that support overwhelms me emotionally."
It was a journey that almost never started. King didn't think about MMA until a former college football coach from Otterbein recommended it. The transition was straight-forward since he had a wrestling background and took boxing and kickboxing classes during the football offseason.
That experience was tested in April 2008 when King took to the octagon for his first match.
"(My old coach) kind of tricked me into it," he recalled. "He told me to try this sport. I started training, and I won my first match. My career has went from there."
Success has followed. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound middleweight fighter appeared on the Ultimate Fighter — a reality show for MMA competitors — and is 12-2 in his career including 5-1 as a pro.
Yet perseverance is just as important. King said the Ultimate Fighter "took me out of my comfort zone" but was a valuable learning experience.
He also suffered his first professional defeat to Cathal Pendred in July's UFC Fight Night: Dublin.
Coming through an improved fighter and person is the goal. King understands with limited time in the sport, there is little time to lick his wounds.
"By the time I'm 35, I will likely be in a new career," he said. "Dealing with losing can be tough, and training six hours per day six days a week is exhausting. But you get to fight night and that's the fun part. You turn it on because it's show time."
The next bout likely won't be until 2015, but King has a plan. He will embark on trips to Brazil and Thailand ion the next several months to hone his skills in Brazilian ju-jitsu and Muay Thai .
"That loss showed I needed to clean up my skills," King said. "I have a good base but like any sport, you have to stay on the cutting edge. Everyone is here for a reason, and each fighter is as good as the next."
King currently is spending time with family and friends. The much-needed break is just as vital as any training session.
"I want the area to know how much I appreciate their support," he said. "Without that motivation, it would be hard to get up and do this every day."

Home — News & Insights — A New Era for Newenham's Design Services.
A New Era for Newenham's Design Services.
We're excited to announce that Newenham has engaged a new in-house Design Manager who will commence working alongside the Newenham Project Team in July. Due to Newenham's growth and an increase in demand for this beautiful land equating to more design applications and builds in-progress, we have made the exciting transition to move from an externally contracted design service, to an in-house offering.
At Newenham, we're proud to offer an idyllic Hills lifestyle with beautifully designed homes and natural surroundings in a stunning pocket of the Adelaide Hills. Our passion is making our place, your home. With our philosophy focused on wellbeing and community, it's important for us to ensure that each and every home at Newenham is carefully curated, and each resident feels guided and supported through their design and build process.
"Since we started, the requirements of our design support have grown quickly, with more and more residents submitting design applications, purchasing land and moving into development phases," Sales and Marketing Director, Olivia Burke says.
"With this growth, it's even more important for us to ensure our Newenham residents are receiving the support, guidance and tools they require to create their dream homes, whilst also ensuring that the design vision and growth potential for Newenham residents is upheld. In bringing our design services in-house, we feel we can better manage the ever-growing requirements of our community."
Since opening, we've had the pleasure of working with renowned South Australian architectural firm Alexander Brown Architects, who have seamlessly guided us through our initial phases of development. Over three years, the team have worked alongside us with precision, care and consideration including the development and execution of our design guidelines.
"Brianne Mills our contract Design Manager from Alexander Brown Architects has been a pleasure to work alongside and will remain a go-to for us over the coming years when we need architectural design input," Olivia says. "The professionalism, architectural excellence and undeniable experience Alexander Brown and his team have in the concepts of sustainability, wellbeing and timeless design have been invaluable in setting up the bones of our project".
To initiate the change, we have brought on our very own Design Manager Margaret Gutschi. Having commenced her role at the start of July, Margaret has been working closely with Burke Urban (the developer behind Newenham) and the Alexander Brown team, in particular the talented Brianne Mills, to ensure a smooth transition.
This transition involves training on the Burke Urban culture, value system and service standards as well as Newenham's ethos of timeless and simple design which is sympathetic to the Adelaide Hills environment. There is also a complete handover being undertaken of every client file so that resident's applications and approvals are professionally managed.
"Margaret comes to us with exceptional industry experience, a keen eye for detail and a passion for unique, sustainable design and stretching the boundaries of community living," Olivia says.
"She's well known in the building community for her gumption and excitement for each and every project she works on, and we're thrilled to welcome her to our passionate team."
For current residents, what does this mean for you?
Whether you're at the beginning of your design process, or you're halfway through, Margaret is available to help and guide you through your design journey.
To ensure a seamless transition, Brianne will continue to work with Margaret throughout July so each and every resident can rest easy in the knowledge that their plans will be handed over and their build will continue as-planned.
Margaret will also attend the Newenham Residents Meet and Greet event on July 22nd to ensure that she can personally meet as many community members as possible and will endeavour to have one-on-one meetings residents over the forthcoming months to discuss each and every application and approval.

Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven (alternatywny tytuł francuski: Might and Magic VI: Le Mandat Celeste) – komputerowa gra fabularna wyprodukowana przez New World Computing i wydana przez 3DO w roku 1998. Jest szóstą z kolei grą z cyklu Might and Magic.

Podczas preprodukcji studio New World Computing zwerbowało pisarza science fantasy Geary Gravela, który miał napisać trylogię powieści bazującą na wczesnej wersji historii opowiedzianej w grze. Gra została stworzona przy użyciu dwóch silników graficznych Labyrinth i Horizon. The Mandate of Heaven zostało zapowiedziane na targach E3 w 1997 roku. Twórca serii Jon Van Caneghem opisał ją w następujący sposób: "najlepsza gra z serii Might and Magic jaką kiedykolwiek stworzyłem".

Rozgrywka
Gra umożliwia przejęcie kontroli nad czterema podróżnikami, zaczynającymi na najniższym poziomie doświadczenia. Dzięki poczynaniom gracza zdobywają oni doświadczenie i umiejętności potrzebne do uratowania fikcyjnego królestwa Enrothu. Fabuła gry wiąże się z grami Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Succession Wars i Heroes of Might and Magic III: Restoration of Erathia i wypełnia lukę między nimi.

System rozwoju postaci jest zbliżony do systemu z "papierowej" gry fabularnej – Dungeons and Dragons. Podobnie jak w wymienionym tytule, w Might and Magic VI gracz rozdziela uzyskiwane wraz z kolejnymi poziomami doświadczenia punkty umiejętności.

Pu'erh Tea Benefits (Weight Loss Potential, Side Effects, Dangers and More)
There is a lot to say about Pu'erh tea, which is why we have a few articles on the subject. This is a tea that has failed to win us over 100%, a tea that we treat with uncertainty, but a tea that we still have time and respect for. It's a tea that can be healthy (as is the case with all of them) but one about which there are many weird and wonderful claims made.
Pu'erh divides opinions with regards to taste and price more so than any other variety, but it's the supposed and actual health benefits that cause the biggest divide with drinkers and detractors of this Chinese fermented tea.
Is Pu Erh Tea Healthy?
Pu'erh is black tea. Black tea is healthy, so by definition, pure is healthy. The problem is, we can't quite leave it there. The questions asked about this tea are not limited to whether it has cancer fighting properties, whether it's a good antioxidant and whether it can help with digestion, claims that can pretty much be made for black, green, white and even red tea. Pu'erh tea has taken on somewhat of a mythical status and many of the questions we have been asked about this tea concern whether or not it really is as magical and as powerful as stated.
You probably knew this already, but…no, it's not.
We love tea and we are huge proponents of tea in its many forms. We have been drinking it for years, we have immersed ourselves into every aspect of the industry and we have lived and breathed tea in all of its forms for well over 15 years. Trust us, we don't make negative comments lightly, but the issue with this tea is that it is connected to traditional Chinese medicine, which doesn't exactly synchronize with Western beliefs.
Firstly, we just want to made it clear that we have nothing against Traditional Chinese medicine or the people who practice it (providing there is no poaching, animal abuse or illegality involved). We also don't want to discredit this tea in anyway as we think it's great and we still make room for an occasional cup. However, there are a few things that need to be said about it:
Pu'Er Tea is Not a Magic Bullet
To reiterate, pu'erh tea does come loaded with antioxidants and it can help in many of the same ways that other teas can. But some of the claims made by manufacturers and proponents of the tea need to be addressed because they are being used to lure unsuspecting buyers into spending a lot of money and ultimately not getting the results they seek. Firstly:
Can Pu'erh Tea Help with Weight loss?
No. It contains caffeine and caffeine is a stimulant that may work to suppress appetite and to every-so-slightly increase the metabolism, but Pu'erh Tea is not more effective as a weight loss aid than green tea or black tea. It does have an impact on visceral fat in rodents though and black/green tea can have a minimal affect with regards to fat loss.
Spot Fat Burning
"Spot" weight reduction is a bizarre conception as it is, and one that just isn't possible without liposuction, let alone with a tea.
Pu'erh Tea can be considered a panacea, or "cure-all", so we don't mind this comment too much. We do mind it when the claims are that Pu'erh tea can cure cancer. There are studies that link tea consumption to a reduced cancer risk and we know that regular tea drinking will limit your chances of developing many forms of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, but in people who already have such issues Pu'erh tea is not the cure.
Pu'erh Tea Side Effects and Health Warnings
The highest quality Pu'erh teas are perfectly fine, but not all of these teas are of a high quality. Whenever you have an expensive raw product like this you have people who will look to try and copy it. They don't care what they put in or take out as long as the end product looks, smells and tastes similar and they can sell it for the same amount of money.
As a result, many low quality Pu'erh teas are known to contain dangerously high levels of fluorine. This is because they are often made with low quality and old tea leaves that would otherwise be thrown away. These teas are often sold in and around the areas in which they are produced, leading to many cases of fluoride poisoning in China and specifically in Tibet.
High quality teas are left to age for months and even years. Low quality teas will be left for a mature of days or weeks and may be sprayed or mixed with chemicals to try and mimic the aging process. Generally if you stick with good suppliers and good teas you will be okay, especially if you're buying imported teas, but it's still worth doing your due diligence.
What About the Microorganisms in Pu'erh tea?
One of the things that separates Pu'erh from other teas is the fermentation process. Unlike the simple oxidation that turns green tea to black, Pu'erh undergoes a deep, long process that essentially allows yeasts and bacteria (all of which grow naturally on the tea plant) to do their thing. It is from these bacteria that many of the supposed benefits of Pu'er tea originate.
But therein lies the issue. Most societies have some form of fermented foodstuff that they claim can help with an array of issues and in all cases these foodstuffs have been passed down through thousands of years of history. The Japanese and Scandinavians have their fermented fish and shark; the Germans have their fermented cabbage; the Russians have their fermented milk; and countless others have fermented yoghurts. Many claims are made about these things and in most cases, only a few of these can be backed up by actual scientific studies.
When something gets passed down through thousands of years of history and hailed as a cure-all through every generation, it takes on a superhero status. Don't forget, we've only been able to disprove many health claims in the last few decades, which is just a fraction of the time that these products have been consumed.
There is a lot of history, anecdotal evidence and faith to try and debunk and therein lies the issue with Pu'erh. Traditional Chinese Medicine also rejects many of the practices of the West and has created its own system, which already flies in the face of what we know about the human body. Their beliefs about this tea have thrived and will continue to thrive because of that, but it's tea—it's healthy, it's natural. There are way worse things they could be consuming and while most of the health benefits being claimed probably aren't true, a small number of significant ones are.

Задній привод — конструкція трансмісії автомобіля, коли крутний момент, що створюється двигуном, передається на задні колеса. Реалізовано це може бути при різноманітному взаємному розташуванні двигуна і агрегатів трансмісії.

Задній привод, двигун спереду (FR)

Двигун спереду, задній привод, FR (). Це було найбільш розповсюджене компонування протягом XX сторіччя.

Це компонування зазвичай вибирають через просту розробку та розваговку. Охолодження двигуна у такому випадку є досить простою задачею, а використовування задньої осі як тягової дає достатньо простору для розміщення коробки передач, а також немає механічних проблем із передачею потужності до керуючих коліс. Також, через те, що двигун та коробка передач розташовані подовжньо, загалом біля них більше місця, і це дуже спрощує проектування і втручання в підкапотний простір, ніж у пересічного FF-автомобіля. Однак, таке компонування потребує центрального тунелю, це дещо зменшує свободу проектування салону автомобіля.

Компонування FMR базується на FR.

Переважна більшість спорткарів та люкс-автомобілів були та є задньопривідними із переднім розташуванням двигуна, попри те, що більшість сучасних автомобілів використовують FF-компонування.

Задній привод, двигун спереду у колісній базі (FMR)

Двигун спереду у колісній базі, задній привод, FMR (). Загалом, це компонування ідентична до FR, але двигун достатньо сильно зміщений назад, щоб його центр мас був за передньою віссю. Таким чином покращується розподіл ваги та зменшується момент інерції, тим самим покращується керованість.

FMR-автомобілі відрізняються довгим капотом та тим, що передні колеса розташовані незвично близько до бамперу. Авто класу гран-турізмо часто використовують FMR, бо двигун розташований за кабіною не залишає достатньо місця для задніх місць.

Типовими автомобілями для FMR-компоновки є:
 Aston Martin Vanquish та V8 Vantage 2005
 BMW Z4
 Chevrolet Corvette
 4-е покоління Chevrolet Camaro та Pontiac Firebird
 Dodge Viper
 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
 Honda S2000
 Maserati Quattroporte
 Mazda RX-7 та RX-8
 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
 Nissan 370Z
 Porsche 928, 924, 944 та 968

Задній привод, двигун у колісній базі (RMR)

Двигун ззаду у колісній базі, задній привод, RMR (). Це компонування зазвичай вибирають через низький момент інерції, а також сприятливий розподіл ваги — найважчу деталь розміщено між осями. Має схильність до більш важкої задньої частини, що дозволяє більш швидке прискорення. Таке компонування відбирає значну кількість центрального простору, і є непрактичним для усіх автомобілів, окрім двомісних спорткарів.

У сучасних гоночних автомобілях, RMR є звичайною конфігурацією, і часто є синонімом до «двигун ззаду». Завдяки гарному розподілу ваги, це компонування сильно використовується у формульних автомобілях (наприклад, у Формулі-1).

Прикладом автомобілів, що використовують це компонування можуть бути:
 Clio V6 Renault Sport
 Ferrari Enzo Ferrari
 Jaguar XJ220
 Koenigsegg CCXR
 Lancia Stratos
 Lotus Exige S
 Maserati MC12
 Porsche Carrera GT

Задній привод, двигун ззаду (RR)

Двигун ззаду, задній привод, RR (). У такій компоновці центр мас двигуна знаходиться ззовні колісної бази автомобіля. Не слід плутати це із центром мас всього автомобілю — якщо б він також знаходився за задньою віссю, то передні колеса неможливо було б утримати на землі.

Таке компонування має такий розподіл ваги, що не є дуже сприятливим до керованості. Тому, в такій конфігурації будували незначну кількість автомобілів, і зараз є небагато RR-автомобілів — Porsche 911, Smart Fortwo,ZAZ 968m. Проблеми керованості таких автомобілів — коли автомобіль починає ковзати у повороті, то він намагається крутитись далі, особливо під час гальмування (надмірне кермування). Це створює проблеми безпеки у автоперегонах, а також є дуже небезпечним для звичайних водіїв, особливо на вологих дорогах, та під час ожеледиці. Хоча, така поведінка є бажаною у дріфтингу.

Q: -250 prints as 6 I could not identify how the following program outputs 6 and -250.
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    unsigned char p=-250;
    printf("%d",p);
    unsigned int p1=-250;
    printf("%d",p1);
    return 0;
}

Being an unsigned integer it has to output only the positive values.How does the p value outputs 6? Please help me understand.

A: printf is not typesafe. It prints whatever you ask it to, and %d says "signed integer". It is your responsibility to provide a varibale of matching type. Since the unsigned char is only 8 bits wide, the literal -250 wraps around to +6, which remains +6 when interpreted as a signed integer. Note that char and short int (and their signed/unsigned counterparts) all get promoted to int-types when passed via variadic arguments.

A: By default, integer numerals such as -250 have a type int.  Also, negative values stores in memory in Two's complement form.  Let calculate two's complement form of -250 (see Making two's complement form paragraph in wiki):

*

*Positive 250 is a 11111010 (first 8 bits, leading zeros are omitted)

*Complement it and get 00000101 (first 8 bits, leading ones are omitted)

*Add one and get 00000110 (first 8 bits, leading ones are omitted)

Type conversion rules for integer types in C says that we should drop left bits to get 8-bit char.  For more details look K&R A.6.2 (well, it is for russian edition, maybe in original book it has another place).
So unsigned char p gets exactly a 00000110 value (6 in decimal).  That is why you get 6 in output.
I think, you understand now why there is -250 in second printf ;)

A: unsigned char may consist only of numbers 0..255
numbers are converted modulo 256. So -250 casted to 6
You should not trust this behaviour. you should avoid overflow.
As of p1, it casted to unsigned int, but interpried as p1 in printf() because of %d identifier

A: p1 is unsigned, but the %d modifier treats the corresponding argument as signed, so even though in fact it is positive, it is printed as negative.
Whether a number is signed or unsigned is all about the representation that is applied, at the machine level it doesn't make a difference.

Turtle! Robot Turtles! The game that teaches young kids programming
In late 2013, a kickstarter was started for a board game designed to teach kids about programming. It wasn't for junior high and high school kids either, this as aimed for kids as young as 4 years old! That game was called Robot Turtles and it became one of the most successful kickstarters for a board game of all time.

Magnetic Travel Games
Sometimes on a long trip you want something to entertain the kids or yourself that doesn't involve reprogramming the GPS to drive you through a barn. For that bit of entertainment we have added magnetic travel games. Many popular games are represented, such as chess, checkers, backgammon, crosswords, hangman, tic-tac-toe, and four-in-a-row. All the games are in 5-1/4″ flat tins designed to fit easily in a suitcase or travel bag without taking up too much space. All games have the required number of pieces to play the game and make for great fun on the road.

Classic Electronic Toys, Back in…Caribiner form?
OK, so 70's and 80's nostalgia still seems to be with us, be it in the music, the oddball clothes, or conflict in Libya but there are few parts of that era that we never expected to see again, and that is in the popular electronics games of the era.
No, not video games. Electronic games! These were hand-held, often LED based games with simple electronics. They pre-dated almost all home video games except possibly early home Pong systems. In their day, they were somewhat bulky and expensive for what they did compared to more modern hand-held game systems.
But now they are back in a smaller, and less expensive form! They have been melded to carabiners so they can hang from backpacks or belt loops. The games may be smaller, but the gameplay is the classic stuff you remember!
First up is carabiner SIMON
SIMON was introduced in 1978 (at the infamous Studio 54 of all places) but was mostly considered and icon of the 80's. The original model was a large disc almost a foot across. Wheras the new retro carabiner version has a play area just 2″ across! This actually makes the game a little easier (not less difficult!, Just easier to operate) as you don't have to move your hands to pound huge buttons. The play is the same as the classic: SIMON beeps a button and it lights up. You press that button. SIMON beeps the same button then another, you follow. Then three buttons, etc. Each round a new button is added to the sequence and you challenge your memory to try and recall the pattern. It gets harder and harder as the game goes along! SIMON carabiner version retails for just $9.99!
Also in the Carabiner game line is BOP-IT. Bop-It doesn't have quite the retro factor that SIMON does as it was released in 1996! But nothing moves as fast as electronics development!
BOP-IT
Wheras with SIMON you are following a pattern, with BOP-IT you are following commands. You are told to bop it (hit the unit) twist it(twist the yellow knob), pull it (pull the blue knob) or shout it (yell anything at the BOP-IT unit). If you do the right command and do it fast you score higher! The original BOP-IT did not have the 'SHOUT-IT' – that is a new addition.
BOP-IT went through many incarnations, and this new design lends itself to the carabiner design quite well.
So have some classic games that fit in your pocket! Its amazing how much fun something so old can be!

Khet 2.0 – The Laser Game
We have recently added KHET to our product lineup! Khet has been around for a while but was always a bit on the expensive side. But the makers of Khet have now realeased Khet 2.0, which is a much more affordable game!
Like the best strategy games, Khet is very easy to learn but hard to master. Each side is given a special 'Sphinx' laser piece that 'fires' when you press it's head. You also have several mirror 'pyramid' pieces, a couple of 'Scarab' pieces with mirrors on either side, a 'Pharoh' piece (which acts as the 'King' of the game to be protected), and a 'Anubis' piece that is used to block the laser. Players take turns positioning, rotating, and firing to try and illuminate the opponents Pharoh. Sounds easy? It is, but the possible reflections and positions make for endless possibilities int he game. You can even change the startup positions of the pieces at the beginning of the game to make for a different experience!
Khet is an excellent strategy game that works on the principles of optics. An option game addition can be obtained that turns the 'Scarab' pieces from mirrors into beamsplitters that send 1/2 the light through and reflect the remainder. That makes a huge change in the tactics of the game!

Matadors defeat Bruins 4-1
Donna Gould
More than 130 people packed the Valley Ice Center in Panorama City on Friday to watch the CSUN men's hockey team close its regular season with a 4-1 victory over rival UCLA. The crowd, which set a season-high attendance record, was animated from the start as Northridge delivered hard hits and tough defense.
CSUN (12-7-0) had its first defensive test six minutes into the game. At 14:16, freshman forward Chris Gale was called for a check from behind, and less than one minute later, senior forward Nikita Behm was sent to the penalty box for holding, setting up a 5-on-3 for the visiting Bruins (8-17-0). The Matadors, led by junior goalie Rob Beltrami, were able to kill the penalties and keep UCLA off the scoreboard.
"Our strategy was to play smart, play tight box, and get the puck out," said CSUN head coach Sean McLynn.
Northridge traded a little defense for some offense midway through the first period. At 11:51, Jose Avilla broke the scoreless tie with a slap- shot goal off the faceoff. Sophomore forward Tom Lalley was credited with the assist. The period ended with the two teams trading penalties. At 5:56, UCLA was called for cross-checking and one minute later, Northridge was penalized for tripping. CSUN went into the first intermission with a 1-0 lead.
The second period opened with more heavy hitting and high-quality defense. UCLA had two opportunities to score early. Four minutes into the period, Chris Gale was sent to the box for his second penalty of the night on an interference call and at 12:56, junior forward Rory Lamb was called for roughing. Again, the Matadors protected the goal and UCLA was unable to capitalize on the power plays.
The Bruins finally got on the scoreboard at 9:40 with a goal by senior forward Jefferson Sanka. As the period started winding down, frustration settled in for the visitors. At 3:02, Bruin junior forward Alex Horowitz was called for roughing, and moments later, senior defenseman Aaron Munoz was penalized for hooking. CSUN was able to take advantage of UCLA's mental mistakes. At 1:16, Chris Gale scored on a power-play goal to give the Matadors a 2-1 advantage. Junior defenseman J.P. Gale recorded the assist.
With less than a minute to play in the period, UCLA was called again for hooking, but it was the next play that roused the Bruins' bench. UCLA was on a breakaway with seconds left in the period. A goal would tie the game at two. J.P. Gale was beat on the play and had no option but to use his stick to break up the scoring opportunity. The referee, with a clear view of the play, did not call a penalty. The UCLA bench, led by head coach Michael Kelly erupted in displeasure. After the buzzer sounded, Kelly continued yelling at the referees. Northridge was surprised with the no call.
"J.P. actually took a penalty from my vantage point," said CSUN assistant head coach Steve Gale. "It was very clearly an interference or a hooking, or even a penalty shot. That is one I think we got away with."
The third period opened where the prior two had left off: heavy hits and flared tempers. Nikita Behm was called for his second penalty of the night, this time for roughing, followed by J.P. Gale going to the box for tripping. At 10:56, Chris Gale scored his second goal of the night, with an assist by junior forward Jason Bobich, to give the Matadors a 3-1 lead. Northridge was penalized four more times in the period. Even Beltrami got into a shoving match late in the game and was called for interference.
"We have a rivalry with these guys," Beltrami said. "If you're not cheating, you're not trying, and if you get caught, you're not trying hard enough."
With 1:04 left in the game, Gale and Bobich hooked up again. Gale scored for the third time on a short-handed goal, giving the Matadors a 4-1 victory.
"We didn't play bad, but we didn't play to our potential, considering we are going to Regionals next weekend," Gale said. "We have three to four practices coming up to really kick it into gear and hopefully do well in the [playoffs]."

Neighborhood Development in 318 Forum Magazine
by Vintage Realty | May 20, 2021 | In the News
NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENTS
by Tony Taglavore for The 318 Forum News Magazine
Provenance Phase II Underway
One attraction to living in a Traditional Neighborhood Development is the number and variety of businesses within that development.
With that in mind, living in North Louisiana's first TND is about to get better.
Provenance, located in South Shreveport on the Southern Loop, recently broke ground on Building 1 of Phase II of the Provenance Commercial Village Center. That means more than 5,200 square feet is available for lease, in addition to the seven businesses already open.
"It's about the lifestyle of being able to experience everything, without really leaving the area," said Johnny Bridges, asset manager for Provenance.
Currently, those who live in Provenance have easy access — think walking distance — to the likes of a bank, a post office kiosk, a doctor's office, a financial planner and three restaurants. The new commercial space means more room for other businesses.
"An Italian restaurant is one that's at the top of our list, as is a coffee shop, a bakery and a flower shop," said Hilary Bransford with Vintage Realty. "We have a whole list of potential uses that we've been going after for quite some time. We're talking to some of those groups right now and are very excited about that. In a neighborhood environment, anything that is service-oriented is very well received."
But what is good for those who live in Provenance is also good for those who don't.
"All of those retail, restaurants, commercial users — they're pulling from a very big draw of people," Bransford said. "It's not just the neighborhood, and it's not just south Shreveport, either. There are people that come to those restaurants that live in South Highlands and Bossier City and other places as well, because of the quality of the experience."
Provenance is one of only approximately 150 TNDs in the country. The concept relies in large part on leaving your car keys on the kitchen counter.
"It's developed off of three- and fiveminute walk patterns," Bridges said. "Traditionally, these are meant to be like neighborhoods were pre-World War II. Not everyone had multiple cars, so the idea is that you are able to park your car and walk to the post office. Walk to the bank. Walk to the restaurants. Walk to the doctor. It's all about walkability. If you think about even the South Highlands area, you start looking at the parks that are out there. Those are parks that at some point became public parks. We are all about the park and public spaces."
Speaking of, Building 1 is not the only part of Phase II.
"(In November 2019), we had seven national architects come from all over the nation and spend a week in Provenance, really laying out where Provenance was going to move forward," Bridges said. "In that, we had a vision for a vibrant town center, with a park and a stage in order to have entertainment. There will be patios for people to sit. It's really establishing that inviting place where a person can live their best life."
"We're excited for things to be moving," said Jason Brady with Vintage Realty. "It's exciting to see that park area in Phase II has started to be cleared. Hopefully, we will see dirt turning and moving quickly."
Provenance broke ground in 2005. In recent years, more and more people have moved into the neighborhood, thanks in part to a variety of home choices.
"There's something for everyone," said Justin Sevier, managing partner with Vintage Construction Group. "Outside of the commercial uses being just steps away, there are all different housing types. We've got some condos for rent that will be available in the next three or four months. We've got townhomes, fall cottages, move-up homes and estate-size homes. You really have something for every housing need, size-wise. They are all encompassed into one development."
Another reason for Provenance's residential growth has been hosting events open to everyone. The annual New Year's night fireworks show, Cinco de Mayo celebration, Movies in the Park and farmers' markets have brought in people who don't live in the neighborhood, showing them what they are missing by not living in the neighborhood.
"There were people coming to Provenance for an event that lived in Shreveport and had never been to Provenance in the first 10 years it was developed," said Sevier. "It was their first time to experience it. It's like going to a restaurant. A restaurant's been in town for 10 years, and you finally go and eat there, and you're like, "Wow, this is really good!"

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, which means that many of us are starting to think about love and the most important relationships in our lives.
Saint Valentine's Day, celebrated on February 14th started out as a church holiday to honor martyrs of the faith, saints whose names were Valentine or Valentinus.
Though the meaning of Valentine's Day has changed somewhat over the years, it is still a special occasion on which to cherish and love those who are most important to us.
Whether you are planning on spending the day with loved ones or prefer solitude, the Bible provides us with plenty of verses that encourage us to revel in God's unconditional love.
Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you desires of the heart.

Halifax JD297 DY-Q "Queenie" 102 (Ceylon) Squadron RAF
Thread: Halifax JD297 DY-Q "Queenie" 102 (Ceylon) Squadron RAF
OP-researcher
In memory of F/O C.F. Read a distant relative of mine.
Researching 102 Squadron I have read Chris Goss's excellent book "It's suicide but it's fun" and Tim Wingham's equally harrowing "Halifax down!". Don't read either if you are of a nervous disposition. Tom Winghams book highlights that all is not always what it seems.
For further background I also have a copy of Mike Underwoods' "RAF Pocklington and RAF Elvington War Diaries".
Any more information about the crew or other raids F/O C. F. Read was on would be very welcome.
Are there any ways to find out more about the crash site? Is it marked in any way?
The crash site being 10KM south of Maubeuge.
The Halifax DY-Q "Queenie" was a Halifax HP59 MKII can anyone post a photo or link to the exact specification of this model ?
"The men were very good to us and we were not hurt. They were a wall unto us both by night and day."
1 Samuel 25:15-16.
As far as I can tell, there's no memorial at the crash site.
I don't understand if you have the crew of Halifax II JD297. In case not, they're all buried in Maubeuge town cemetery and you'll be able to get the full names from the C.W.G.C. registers (easier than more me to retype) : W/C H.R. COVENTRY, DFC was the pilot (the Squadron commander), Sgt G.T. PINE-COFFIN was the flight engineer, F/L F.E. KING D.F.C. was the navigator, F/O C.F. READ was the bomb aimer, Sgt W. BROWN was the wireless operator, Sgt W. HARDY and F/L G.F. HOGG were the two air gunners, the Squadron Operations Record Book doesn't make the difference between mid-upper and rear gunner. What's more F/L HOGG was the Squadron's gunnery leader.
The reference of the Operations Record Book for No. 102 Squadron is AIR 27/809 at the National Archives in Kew, London, if you're in a capacity to get there. I have copied the months of April 1943 and July 1943 (form 540 (monthly resume) in full but form 541 (daily resume) only for the 13/14 July 1943 raid) so can have a look at them and this won't be enough to list the missions he flew during these two months, if he was posted in in April or before.
I can forward you pictures of the graves in Maubeuge. Send me an e-mail if you want them (click on my name, on the upper left corner, it will give you access to my profile, which has my e-mail address).
We can't post pictures on this board (this is an anti-spam measure) but you'll find plenty of pictures and drawings of Halifax Mk II on the web, or in books.
Hi Joss, many thanks. All information and pictures welcome. Email to follow.
Kind regards Op-researcher.

This is so weird, and I assure you that I am not making this up.
I am currently researching this crew as I have a coloured photograph of one of them. I was going to post today in the hope that someone would have some further information - and this turns up! How strange!
Perhaps its fate!
Further to this, I believe that F/L King was the squadron navigation officer - quite a senior crew!
Hello T-E-C,
The Squadron ORB doesn't say F/L KING was the Squadron navigation leader, while it definitively says that F/L HOGG was the Squadron gunnery leader.
His D.F.C. and that of W/C COVENTRY were published in the same London Gazette issue, but with no citation :

Who is the crew member whose portrait you have ?

Thank you for your posts, PM's and emails.
Interesting to learn of the goings on at 1658 Conversion Unit, C.U. RAF Riccall on this site and browsing these:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Air_Force_Conversion_Units
http://www.oldairfields.fotopic.net/c307192_1.html
Was the D.F.C. automatic after completeing a tour?
No, the DFC was not automatically issued after a completed tour. It happened quite often but was in no way guaranteed. I have researched a crew that completed 46 ops and no member was given a gallantry award whereas another crew I have looked at each received either the DFC or DFM after 30ops.
I guess it would largely depend on the ops completed, the crew who got the gallantry medals visited Berlin 10 times during their tour. They were lucky indeed!
JD297 DY-Q were I assume shot down by Rudolf Altendorf.
14.07.43 Oblt. Rudolf Altendorf 2./NJG 4 Halifax 10 km. S. Maubeuge: 5.000 m. 02.19 Film C. 2027/I Anerk: Nr.34
5,000m - approx 16,500 feet. Am I right in thinking that Oxygen is required over 10,000 feet?
Reading an account on here about "Boozer" used later to identify radar the nightfighter made multiple attacks I wonder if this was typical?
Which Nightfighter did Oblt. Rudolf Altendorf fly?
I believe that he may have flown a BF 110. It appears that he shot down 25 aircraft.

Mentally Unfit or Rational? White House, US Intelligence Differ on Kim Jong Un
Jeff Seldin
In this image made from video released by KRT on Jan. 1, 2018, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un delivers his annual address from an undisclosed location in North Korea.
Questions about U.S. President Donald Trump's latest tweets about North Korea appear to be exposing some possible rifts between the White House and the U.S. intelligence community over how best to read North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders Wednesday suggested the North Korean leader was mentally unstable when asked about the most recent tweet, despite previous, public assessments from Central Intelligence Agency officials that for all the dangers, Kim is a "very rational actor."
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders speaks during the daily press briefing at the White House, Jan. 3, 2018.
"The president and the people of this country should be concerned about the mental fitness of the leader of North Korea," Sanders said. "He's made repeated threats. He's tested missiles time and time again for years."
It is not the first time the U.S. president has disparaged Kim.
In the past, Trump has also referred to Kim Jong Un as "Little Rocket Man," and in one tweet said he was "obviously a madman."
CIA: Kim not crazy
Those assessments from the White House, though, seem to stand in contrast to what CIA officials have been saying for months, arguing that while the threat from North Korea is grave, Kim Jong Un is not crazy.
Instead, they have said the North Korean leader displays "clarity of purpose" even as he antagonizes and provokes on the world stage.
"Kim Jong Un is a very rational actor," Yong Suk Lee, deputy assistant director of the CIA's Korea Mission Center, said at an agency-sponsored event this past October.
"Bluster and rhetoric aside, Kim Jong Un has no desire to go toe to toe with [U.S. and South Korea's] combined forces command," Lee said. "Kim Jong Un wants what all authoritarian rulers want ... to rule for a long time and die peacefully in his own bed."
Pyongyang's goal, according to Lee and other intelligence officials, is to gain recognition as a major nuclear power and eventually negotiate a deal with the United States that sees American forces leave the Korean Peninsula.
Other U.S. intelligence agencies have been in agreement.
"We have long assessed that Pyongyang's nuclear capabilities are intended for deterrence, international prestige, and coercive diplomacy," the Office of the Director of National Intelligence wrote in its 2017 World Wide Threat Assessment, issued this past May.
Limits to rationality?
Asked about the apparent differences in the White House and CIA assessments of the North Korean leader's rationality, a U.S. intelligence official said, "there is no daylight between the idea that Kim is someone who acts with clear goals of self-preservation and the fact that he uses brutal and abnormal methods to achieve these goals.
"To some, testing nuclear weapons while your people are starving is not rational," the official added. "But when you believe those weapons are critical to your survival, it is not so irrational."
There are also concerns that Kim's ability to think and act rationally is limited.
"We don't think he has an understanding about how tenuous his position is," CIA Director Mike Pompeo said at the Reagan National Defense Forum in California last month, suggesting, "Those around him are not feeding him the truth about the place he finds himself and how precarious his position is in the world today."
National security adviser H.R. McMaster listens during the daily press briefing at the White House in Washington, July 31, 2017.
Questions to the National Security Council about differences between the White House and the intelligence community went unanswered.But on Tuesday, U.S. National Security Adviser, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, offered little hope that Kim Jong Un and North Korea would be willing to negotiate away its nuclear weapons program.
"The only way to do that really now short of war is through coercive economic power," McMaster told VOA.
"What's important to recognize is that North Korea is pursuing this nuclear weapon, not for just defensive purposes that you hear some people argue about, but really for coercive purposes, for offensive purposes, and the world has to recognize that," he added.

If you've ever been to a live performance, you know that the show itself is only half of the affair. There are many opportunities for you to get excited.
First, you find out the artist is coming to a town near you. You call up your friends, check your schedule, and do everything in your power to make sure you'll be at the show.
Fast-forward and you've bought your tickets and now you're intently listening to their latest album so you will be able to sing-a-long— well, at least I do. You are finally in the car, on the way to the venue and it's getting more and more real by the second. Well, I recently had this very same experience!
I was in the middle of perusing through Instagram, as I do daily and I saw the usual jokes, motivational quotes and memes. Then all of a sudden, I came across a post that read: "Does anyone want tickets to the Wale show tonight?" Well yes, as a matter of fact of I do.
It was about 10 a.m. the morning of the show and I took a chance. I purchased two tickets, which turned out to be floor seats!
Now, this is where things started to get crazy. Knowing that I only had one extra ticket, I thought finding one person to go along would be a breeze. Wow, was I wrong! I made a record breaking 26 phone calls before I finally found oneof my close friends, Justin who was down for the ride.
The ticket said start time was 6:30 p.m. but from personal experience, it really meant the show would more likely start arount 8 p.m.
Once we arrived and parked the car, you could feel the enthusiasm in the air. South D.C. was in full-fledged party mode. Men were doing backflips in the street, red carpet photos were being taken, and security was plentiful.
Believe it or not, the security seemed to be just as joyous if not more so than some of the concertgoers. The vibe was stirring outside and easily trickled into the venue. Being that the show was held in D.C., there was this indescribable feeling of culture in the air. People were very responding to the DJs on stage and plenty of dancing was taking place.
One of the standout performances of the night was 27-year-old, D.C. native, Ari Lennox. She performed some of her fan favorites such as: Whipped Cream and Backseat. She had complete command of the stage. She used her sheer vocal range and soulful cadence to captivate those in the arena.
I was impressed by her capability to keep her energy up-tempo, even though some of her songs might be categorized as "down tempo." She even kept the crowd engaged with a few jokes and keen storytelling. Ari's set was quite entertaining.
Shortly after Ari's set, Wale, the man of the hour took the stage. First and foremost, let me say that Wale's band was immensely gifted. Their set up of percussion, drums and bass opened up the door for a full and rich gogo sound. This twist on Wale's set made for an exciting event. The audience was already biting their fingernails for Wale to hit the stage, so for him and his band to execute the way they did, it seemed to fulfill a lot of suspense.
Overall, the entire experience was one that I think many people would have enjoyed and for the people actually got to experienced it, I hope they were well entertained. If you haven't been to a live performance in recent time, I recommend you plan one in the near future— the rush is always exuberating!

The advantages of owning a car extend beyond the mundane commute to work or trek to the supermarket. Car ownership offers the freedom to go where you want when you want and you want. Here are some of the top reasons that car ownership beats public transport.
With a car at your fingertips, you can wake up one morning and go somewhere new. With a map or satnav you don't even have to plan a journey in advance, just stick a pin in the map and head off to explore and discover. No pouring over timetables or route planners, no ticket booking or restrictions apply. Spontaneous journeys can be fun in themselves and the stunning scenery around Aberdeenshire cries out for exploration.
The spirit of adventure burns in everyone's heart and when you own a car any trip out can become an adventure. From castles and cliffs through to gardens and galleries, there are adventures to be had just a few miles from your door. You can easily drive to hundreds of destinations that public transport doesn't reach and you can do it exactly when you want to. No waiting around and no restrictions.
One of the best things about driving your own car is that you make the decisions. Yes, you can be heading to an end destination, but you can decide how you get there. Going from A to B doesn't always mean taking a straight through route; you can wind your way through pretty villages or along coastal roads and drink in the sights of the world around you. If you get a bit peckish or spot something curious along the way you can stop, fulfill your needs and then carry on at your leisure. If you're feeling really adventurous you could even switch your vehicle to a 4×4 – then you can truly go off-track and explore less accessible parts of the county.
Cars can carry a lot more than just people. They can be loaded with belongings, making a day out that little bit easier to plan. If you fancy a picnic you can pack the boot with food, drink, blankets, and stools without the need to lug them very far or worry about how much you can carry. If you are not sure what the weather will do you can throw coats and boots in the back, safe in the knowledge that you are prepared for anything. And if you own a dog, you can transport him easily to brand new places for him to sniff and explore.
A life without a car can be very restrictive with no trips to the country, days on the beach or last-minute visits to old friends. Even the weekly shop is tricky without a car as you can be limited for choice and what you can carry.
