An Exposé of the World's Greatest Secret
By: Steven M. Greer MD
Narrated by: William Hughes
The biggest lie in history is about to be shattered. UFOs are real. In late June of 1947, three extraterrestrial craft were downed outside Roswell Air Force Base. Many more followed, revealing dozens of ET species and a Rosetta Stone to a new physics, an energy generation and propulsion system responsible for interstellar space travel. This new system could have easily replaced oil, gas, coal, and nuclear plants - and with them, the entire geopolitical and economic order on our planet. But a cabal of bankers, the military-industrial complex, and Big Oil stopped it.

Not a Bad Book
The Government's UFO Secrets Revealed
By: John Greenewald Jr.
Narrated by: Tim Dixon
In 1996, John Greenewald, Jr. began researching the secret inner workings of the US Government at the age of 15. He targeted such agencies as the CIA, FBI, Pentagon, Air Force, Army, Navy, NSA, DIA, and countless others. Greenewald utilized the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to gain access to more than two million pages of documents. This archive includes information relating to UFOs, the JFK assassination, chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, and top secret aircraft.
It is the most famous military installation in the world. And no credible insider has ever divulged the truth about his time inside of it. Until now. This is the first book based on interviews with scientists, pilots, and engineers - 58 in total - who provide an unprecedented look into the mysterious activities of a top-secret base, from the Cold War to today. With a jaw-dropping ending, it proves that facts are often more fantastic than fiction, especially when the distinction is almost impossible to make.

A True Story
By: Terry Lovelace Esq.
Narrated by: Terry J. Lovelace
I'm a 64-year-old retired lawyer and former Assistant Attorney General with an unusual story to tell. Every word of it is true. It happened in a state park known as Devil's Den. For fear of losing my job and damaging my reputation in the legal community, I never spoke about the incident. If it hadn't happened to me, I'd be skeptical too. In 1977, I was an active duty NCO in the USAF. A friend and I planned a two-night camping trip to explore the wilderness. We drove deep into the forest until we came to a high plateau. There on the horizon sat a perfect triangle of three very bright stars....

Exposing the 70-Year Conspiracy to Suppress the Truth
By: Donald R. Schmitt
Narrated by: Rudy Sanda
As we approach the 70th anniversary of the most significant UFO event of all time, best-selling author Donald R. Schmitt takes a fresh look at the renowned incident. Previous books on Roswell, including his, have focused on the witnesses, their families, and the history of the case. Cover-Up at Roswell catalogs the extreme measures the US government exercised to suppress the truth.

Amazon Story - Must read for everyone
By Beau on 18-07-2019
The UFO enigma has been part of our culture since the 1940s and is building to a worldwide explosion of acceptance today. Now, as governments around the world open their files and records on internal UFO investigations, the US remains steadfast in its denial of interest in the UFO issue. As more of the world's population accepts the possibility of an extraterrestrial presence, the demand is building for disclosure from the United States.
Using newly declassified and Freedom of Information Act documents, eyewitness accounts, interviews, and leaked documents being authenticated, The Presidents and UFOs details the secret history of UFOs and the corresponding presidential administrations. Starting in 1941 with the Roosevelt administration, author Larry Holcombe examines the startling discoveries facing a president preoccupied by WWII, the explosion of UFO sightings during the Truman years, first contact during the Eisenhower administration, and the possibility of a UFO connection to the Kennedy assassination. In 1975, the Nixon administration came very close to admitting that UFOs exist by funding a documentary by Robert Emenegger. Almost 40 years later, this book will examine Emenegger's findings. For the first time, the involvement of all of the modern presidents up to and including President Obama, and the rise and then fall of their influence on UFO issues, are told in one story that is an integral part of the fascinating UFO tapestry.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor
Ten Arguments For Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now
What listeners say about The Presidents and UFOs
4.5 out of 5 stars 4.4 out of 5.0
Solid work
This book is solid work, which outlines a number of very interesting aspects of this intriguing question. There is no smoking gun but there is a lot of smoke
Eathan
Certainly Interesting!
I liked how the various events were lined up with sitting Presidents of the United States. Well researched and written by the author, and well presented by the narrator, the only reason I did not award five stars is because I found it hard to relate to some of the stories because I live outside the US.
An Interesting Story
As stated in the very beginning the President ,has little to no mention in all these tales of UFO's and close encounters,but by loosely grouping such events under who was president at the time,is an interesting read
tons of good research and storytelling
this book had a great pace and kept me very interested in the subject matter. It is full of solid research and will keep your wanting more
Informational and entertaining
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to anyone fascinated by this phenomenon
I liked the framework of the history with Presidential relationship
Jules En Seoul
The book is narrated well and well written but the facts and case studies are old and already quite well known. Unless you are a die-hard conspiracy fan, this book will disappoint you.
Good product promoter
Enjoyed this book tremendously. It gave me insight and other views.
Narrator wasn't monotone lol
Inside track , very informative and frightening.
Hard to stop. A very disturbing tale to be sure. Not sure if people could handle disclosure.
Kelly Rossi
Very good concept with awesome research
This book was a very good concept with great research taking you through each Presidents involvement with UFOs. Explanations jumped around a bit from time to time which was a little confusing. There are also some documents that you can look at which are hard with an audio book. But in all, it was very fun aspect of our country outlined.
The most magnificent book ever
I have been always I believer of extra-terrestrial and after listening this book I'm most certainly convinced that our U.S. Government is concealing the truth from the general public because of magnitude of the matter in question, I believe that it will come out eventually in the next 15 to 20 years, I'm 46 now I'm I hope to be alive when that happens, Thank you Joao Batista.
very powerful information and well narrated
it explains how they portrayed stories like this on movies and commercials everything is in our face
Keith Campbell
This was obviously thoroughly researched by the author. No hype and little speculation. I enjoyed it and appreciate the work
adepezA
Eye opening...
it's amazing that our government will go to great lengths to silence their own citizens and do whatever it takes. But sooner or later ( in this subject later) it will all come it will all come out. It just a matter of time....
Need more books like this!
A must read for anyone interested in ufo's regardless of your level of understanding.
Disclosure can only benefit humanity and is only kept from us from the people who fear positive human development on every level. Control won't last long and the truth will be out.
Stephen Amos
interesting history of UFOs
This is an interesting history of UFO encounters since WWII. You can choose to believe it and, if you read this book then the assumption can be made that you either do or are open minded.
Either way, the writing is clear, the reading is excellent and the arguments are intriguing if not entirely convincing.
As Mulder's poster in the x-files stated:
Islandlife1956
"Entertaining with alot of anecdotal information"
Interseting and entertaining at times, for it is packed with an awful lot of anecdotal information and events.
At times this was a little tedious leaving me to fast forward through the plethora of experts, generals and associated service personnel and their respective US departments!
Finally I fully appreciative the immense time and effort undertake by the author to compile such material for this fascinating subject.
Mrsbadcrumble
Good story, well presented.
What made the experience of listening to The Presidents and UFOs the most enjoyable?
The subject maybe controversial and the book could have gone down the route of simply listing facts and figures on a timeline; but it didn't. It presents the facts in a very engaging way by placing the events in their historical perspective and giving the facts as reported.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Presidents and UFOs?
The fact that Nixon was an incredibly popular President and appeared to have a keen interest in the UFO phenomenon. And then events overtook him...
What about Oliver Wyman's performance did you like?
Overall yes. He tried the odd 'voice acting' here and there but overall he carried the narrative.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not really that sort of book. Overall, as with other books of the UFO genre, it raises questions of the 'establishment' on both sides of the belief fence.
Could Governments really conceal such events for such a long time without someone blowing the whistle? Read/listen and you decide.
a must listen for those with a serious or passing interest in the ufo phenomenon

Next Yes, Twin Cities traffic is sucking more lately, and it's about to get worse
Meet Prinsburg, Minnesota's most conservative city
Wednesday, June 25, 2014 by Robbie Feinberg in News
Wikimedia Commons/Deanlaw
If you wanted to find the most conservative city in Minnesota, you'd probably start by looking in the sixth congressional district, the area right above Minneapolis that's still represented by Rep. Michele Bachmann and has a large evangelical population.
Surprisingly, however, you'd be pretty far away. In fact, according to newly released data from the analytics firm Clarity Campaign Labs, Minnesota's most conservative city is Prinsburg, a tiny city located about 90 miles due west of Minneapolis.
See also: SCOTUS won't hear case brought by MN conservatives upset about voting dress code
"Oh yeah, it's real small," says Harvey Van Eps, a 50-year resident of the city who's also served as mayor for the past two decades. "But we're very strong, with our own private school. We have two churches...we try to, basically, run a quite tight ship on keeping the yards cosmetically neat and housing cosmetically neat and basically try to keep our taxes very much in line."
What stands out first in the city are the two, large Christian reform churches for a population of less than 500 people. That religious dedication doesn't just end inside the church, though. It can be seen across Prinsburg, even on the city's sign, which reads "Prinsburg: The Lord is My Shepherd." And on the Kandiyohi County website, the city is described as a place where "faith and family are very important."
Van Eps said those sorts of conservative values influence how he and his council run the town.
"We do run it to be conservative," Van Eps said. "The policies - we're not letting casinos or anything like that or bars or liquor stores. And we have a policy that yards should be neat, and once we got into this groove of everything being neat and clean, the guys with a ratty yard - we'll tell him to clean things up and normally he will."
But the church isn't the only thing that influences the city's residents. Sen. Lyle Koenen (DFL-Clara City), who represents Prinsburg, has visited the city since he was a child, growing up only a few miles away. And when he stops in now to talk to residents, he doesn't just hear about social issues, but fiscal ones, too.
"When I come through town, I always hear a mixture of things," Koenen says. "And it can be abortion or marriage issues. But a lot of taxes, and regulation, too. Mostly to be left alone."
Koenen says that while he may not agree with the residents on most issues, he's always impressed by just how dedicated they are to their beliefs.
"I know me, running as a Democrat, isn't real high on their lists, but I will say that the people in town there know why they're conservatives," Koenen said. "Sometimes you get people who go either way who aren't really sure. But in this case, they know why they're conservatives."
In the 2012 election, more than 90 percent of Prinsburg's voters cast their presidential ballots for Mitt Romney, and in every other race that pitted a Republican against a Democrat, more than 75 percent leaned towards the GOP.
Clarity Campaigns Lab determined Prinsburg's conservative credentials by using a seven-question survey to get voters' views, combined with its own models and the voter file from the data and technology firms TargetSmart and NGP Van.
Minnesota's most liberal city, meanwhile, was Minneapolis, a city that, by all accounts, is more well-known than Prinsburg.

Wine, Seriously
It's more than just tasting notes.
Guía de pronunciación de los términos del vino y de la vid
Pronunciation Guide to Wine Terms
Oenology in Long Island: Anthony Nappa Wines
Anthony Nappa pictured with his wines prior to a Winemaker's Tasting at Empire State Cellars in Riverhead
Anthony Nappa wears several hats at once: as winemaker for Raphael, a major winery on the North Fork, as founder and owner of Winemaker Studio in Peconic, Long Island, and as winemaker for his own brand of wines with intriguing names like Anomaly, Luminous, Spezia, and more. Of the eleven Nappa wines that are presently offered at the Winemaker Studio three have earned 90 points from Wine Enthusiast and a red has won 91 points–the highest score ever by WE for a North Fork wine. That's really quite remarkable for such a small producer—albeit clearly a gifted one.
Anthony's road to becoming a winemaker in Long Island was, as is so often the case, circuitous. Born in Massachusetts, he went to the University of Massachusetts in Amherst to earn a degree in agriculture with a focus on fruit-growing. A couple of years later he decided to obtain a degree in viticulture and found that the program at Lincoln University in Christchurch, New Zealand, was the most economical for an English-speaking country. It ended up being a degree in oenology as well, and that was where it discovered that he had an aptitude for it. Four years later he went to Italy, where his family is from, and spent a year at a winery near Naples. After six years abroad he returned and helped start a winery, Running Brook, in southern Massachusetts. He was there for a year before moving on to California to try winemaking there, but West Coast life wasn't for him. Finally, in 2007, he came to Long Island, got married, and in partnership with his wife, Sarah Evans, who works as a chef, started making his own wine while working at Shinn Estate.
I met him several years ago, when he was at Shinn (2007 to 2011). He went there with the understanding that he could use their facilities to make wine for his own label, which bears his name. His first wine under his label was 200 cases of LI Pinot Noir that he dubbed Nemesis. After he left Shinn he focused more on his own wines and made them at Premium Wine Group, the custom crush facility in Mattituck.
He now has same arrangement with Raphael. As he explains, "We keep everything very separate. [Raphael's] business is very separate from ours. We pay to make the wine here; it's just like at Premium. We pay to store it; we pay everything just like we would if we were just a customer. A lot of times I'm working on my stuff, I'm working on their stuff or whatever, but I just try to keep everything very separate." (To read about Raphael's wines, see Viniculture in LI: Raphael.)
For Anthony, who has certainly had plenty of experience on both coasts, Long Island is the place to make wine in the East. He told me that "I really think Long Island is the best wine region on the East Coast by far. It's so diverse; we've so much potential. The wines that I'd tasted even ten years ago were better than anywhere else along the East Coast, and they're even better now."
As Anthony Nappa Wines has no vineyards of its own, all the wines are made from purchased grapes. Anthony explains:
"I buy grapes from a dozen different vineyards. It changes all of the time. We buy grapes from Upstate, as well. We made a Riesling in the beginning. For me Finger Lakes Riesling is the best Riesling in the country, and I'm just buying grapes. Why wouldn't I make Finger Lakes Riesling? We label it Finger Lakes and everything; we put vineyard designation on as much stuff as we can."
Speaking of the dependence on purchased fruit, Anthony said, "The hard part about only buying grapes is we can't necessarily be consistent. We don't always get the same quality of fruit. So we might make a wine and then not be able to make it again for years. So it's hard to be in the marketplace that way. But on the other hand, it's got its advantages, because we can adjust our production levels every year. We can be opportunistic and jump on good vintages and make extra wine and hold back in bad vintages. We can just do a one-off wine with some grape variety that I was able to purchase and make whatever even just once, if there are some grapes available. We can be opportunistic at the last minute and buy fun stuff, different stuff. There are a lot of advantages to not owning a vineyard, and there's a lot less risk."
For example, Anthony has made Nemesis, his first wine, a Pinot Noir, only once. He eschewed making again until this year as he did not find grapes of the quality he demanded for making that varietal again. Talk about fussy.
Anthony operates on the idea of honesty in all things bearing on his wine: honest wine that is made with minimal manipulation (if any) and reveals its varietal character; honest marketing—with full disclosure of how the wine is made; and honest labeling—straightforward and direct, without unneeded embellishments. A testament to that is found in his wine spec sheets which accompany each of his wines. Talk about full disclosure.
The Winemaker Studio
Anthony's The Winemaker Studio is owned and operated by him and his wife, Chef Sarah Evans Nappa, of Anthony Nappa Wines. They moved to the North Fork in 2007 and in the same year Anthony established his own wine brand, Anthony Nappa Wines while working as winemaker for Shinn Estate. His first wine was Nemesis, a white wine made from Pinot Noir, of which 200 cases were made. Sarah has considerable international experience and is previously the Sous Chef at the North Fork Table & Inn in Southold, NY. When she is not looking after their son Leonard (born in 2013), or running the tasting room, she is available for hire as a private chef for small events and dinner parties.
In the beginning Anthony invited other winemakers who were producing their own brands but had no tasting facilities of their own to offer their wines at the Studio. It was a cooperative venture, and tasting rotated with a different brand being highlighted for tasting each weekend. Over time a number of them moved to other tasting rooms that were more connected to their production. For example, Russell Hearn, John Leo, and Erich Bilka all work at PWG (Premium Wine Group, a custom crush outfit) which has its own tasting facility, The Tasting Group, for brands that are made at PWG. So while their wines are now available at retail from the Studio, their wines are no longer offered as part of the tasting menu, which now only highlights Anthony's own wines and Greg Gove's Race label of wines.
The Winemaker Studio is currently offering:
Anthony Nappa Wines from winemaker Anthony Nappa of Raphael Vineyards
Race wines by Greg Gove, former winemaker at Peconic Bay Winery—now closed.
Suhru Wines from winemaker Russell Hearn of Lieb Cellars and head production winemaker PWG
Leo Family from winemaker John Leo of Clovis Point and production winemaker at PWG
T'Jara Wines from winemaker Russell Hearn
Influence Wines from winemaker Erik Bilka of Castello di Borghese and production winemaker at PWG
Coffee Pot Cellars from winemaker Adam Suprenant of Osprey's Dominion Vineyards, who now has his own tasting room.
Anthony's own wine labels are elegant in their simplicity and he likes to give his wines distinctive names—each in a different typeface—that reflect something of the character of each. For example, of three that we sampled, the names suggest a story:
Anomaly, so named because it is just that: a white wine made from a red grape–in this case Pinot Noir. According to the spec sheet for this wine, the fruit is sourced from several vineyards: that from the Finger Lakes brings acidity and fruitiness, while from the North Fork the grapes impart more structure and body. Together the blend brings forth a good balance to Anomaly. All the fruit comes from sustainably-maintained vineyards. The grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed with no skin contact, but using red-wine yeast from Burgundy. Cold-fermented for two weeks, no oak was used nor was there a malolactic fermentation. It was bentonite-filtered for heat stability, cold-stabilized, and sterile-filtered before bottling.
The 2013 Anomaly comes from an excellent vintage characterized by a cool summer and 50 days without any precipitation until harvest, resulting in fully-ripe and very clean fruit. The wine is of a medium lemon color with a slight blush, with a full body, firm acidity, and notes of strawberry, white peach, and a minerally finish, perfect as an aperitif or summer wine. 12.3 % abv; $20; ; 90 points from Wine Enthusiast. Drink within a year.
The 2012 Dodici is a blend of 67% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cab Sauvignon; the fruit, of an excellent vintage, came from two pre-eminent vineyards on the North Fork: McCullough and Matebella, which are sustainably farmed. The spec sheet also tells us that the grapes were fermented after 5 weeks of maceration and aged separately for 18 months in French oak, only blended just prior to bottling unfiltered and unfined. Just 187 cases were produced. The resulting wine is a deep brick-red color with suggestions of tobacco, licorice, and red fruit on the nose while offering a full body and a nice, long finish with mineral notes. Drinkable now, it could be laid down to evolve for five more years. It will happily accompany any red-meat dish or go with a full-bodied cheese. 13.2% abv; $35; 91 points from Wine Enthusiast.
Anthony's 2013 Chardonnay has an Italian spelling that reflects what he considers to be a "rustic Italian style," but given that the grapes come from McCullough Vineyards one might wonder if there weren't a touch of the Irish about it as well. Anyhow, the vintage has been described above and as a result the fruit shows beautifully. Unoaked, the wine was fermented with wild yeast and then underwent a malolactic fermentation, yielding aromas of ripe peaches, citrus, and buttery notes. With that we have a full-bodied wine with firm acidity and a medium-length with some minerality. In fact, we'd call it elegant, and it has excellent typicity–this can be nothing other than a Chardonnay, and a very-well made one at that. Perfect with any fish or seafood. 13.9% abv; $20; ; 90 points from Wine Enthusiast; to drink now or hold for a few years.

Wearing the right type of innerwear is essential for the health and hygiene for men. Innerwear is not only supposed to provide comfort and support, but also enhance personal hygiene. Here are some health tips while choosing the right innerwear.
It is essential to choose and select innerwear which is of the right fitting and is made up of comfortable material. Wearing innerwear which is too loose can lead to the underwear slipping downwards, providing a lot of discomforts. Similarly, wearing innerwear which is too tight can cause a lot of discomfort and restrict movement. Another reason men should not wear too tight underwear is the health and hygiene implications. The seams of the underwear can cause cuts, scrapes and rashes due to constant friction. These cuts and scraps are prone to infection due to sweat and bacteria. Also, some research has indicated that wearing tight underwear can affect the fertility levels in men by lowering the sperm count and cause erectile dysfunction.
Live In Pride offers a wide range of innerwear and comfortable mens underwear which offers excellent fitting and comfort to the user.
Men's innerwear and underwear should undergo an anti-bacterial treatment before packaging. This can be done using dry steam at high temperature, UV rays, using human-grade and safe of humans disinfectants. This ensures that the user gets to buy sweat free underwear anti bacteria innerwear.
Live In Pride offers comfortable mens underwear along with other innerwear products which are made from technology offering advanced odour protection, undergo antimicrobial treatment before packaging, is made from quick-drying and durable fabric which stays in shape and does not shrink fast. They also offer moisture-wicking protection and removes sweat and perspiration away from the skin, and the flatlock stitching offers a reduction in unwanted friction.
This refers to the ability of the fabric to absorb sweat from the body and keeping the body dry. Certain fabrics are designed to absorb sweat and pull sweat from the skin and body of the user during their exercise. Certain clothing and fabrics might be much better suited for exercising and physical activities. Fabrics like lycra blends, polyester, various synthetic materials keep the base layer dry and comfortable. These material help the user keep warm during the winter months and cool during the hot summer months.
It is essential to choose underwear and innerwear with good wicking ability as it keeps sweat away from your body and prevents the breakdown of sweat by bacteria which can cause body odour. The wicking ability of your underwear and innerwear maintains good personal hygiene and safeguards wearers from bacterial infections, skin infections, diseases linked to bad personal hygiene etc.


Once upon a time, in a land that only lives in the imagination, dark clouds were gathering in the sky….
King Boroff leaned out of the castle window and gazed upwards. Never before had he seen a sky like this. He had seen one filled with sunshine, and one filled with fluffy white clouds, even a sky filled with a blood red moon, not to mention a dragon filled sky, but never in all his days, one where dark clouds gathered like a heavy curtain waiting to be drawn across the heavens. He called for his Page.
He watched the Page leave, then went back to the window and cast his eye over the land below. The market had began to assemble itself. Brightly coloured stalls dotted the landscape like sugared sweets on a cake. People went about their business, slower than usual. He noticed their furtive glances upwards. King Boroff looked towards the sky again, and shivered.
The Page tried to scurry across the town square, knowing the King would be watching from the window, but his legs didn't seem to work as fast as they should. He weaved in and out of the market stalls, heading towards the far corner of town and the Wizard's house. He was making fair headway when a hand reached out and grasped him.
The Page turned. The broad figure of the pig farmer stood behind him. His tunic sleeves were rolled up and his hands bloody from laying out his meaty produce.
"The Wizard? It wouldn't be anything to do with that sky up there, would it?" He pointed a podgy finger to the darkening canopy.
"I never asked. I know better than to ask. The sky is weird though. My mother would say it was an omen." The Page looked up and shuddered.
"It's a sign all right. Something bad's a brewing. Have you noticed how everything seems to be slowing down?" Indeed the boy had, his legs for a start. The man scratched his beard as he too stared upwards. "You best be off; get that Wizard and get that sky sorted out before something nasty 'appens to us all." He pushed the boy forward and waved him away.
It wasn't long before the Page was facing the wooden door of the Wizard's house. He reached out for the brass dragon's head knocker. The eyes on the head snapped open just as the boy's hand touched its surface; a bolt of smoke and flame burst from its mouth.
"How'd you like somebody banging your head against a hard surface?" The dragon stared at the boy.
"That's all very well for you to say. It's not your head." The dragon closed its eyes.
That's ridiculous, thought the Page as he reached out again, but hesitating, held his hand in mid air before dropping it back to his side.
The dragon lazily open one eye and said, "Good choice," before closing it again.
The Page hammered on the door with his fist, then waited a few moments before banging again. "Come on," he whispered. The King will be livid if I don't get back soon.
"It wouldn't let me use it sir." He looked at the knocker then back at the Wizard. "It burnt my hand." He held his red palm up for him to see.
Magico waved his hands and muttered. Sparks flashed from his finger tips, only to dissolve before they touched the knocker. The dragon open its eyes, stuck out its tongue and made a rude noise, then closed them again and started to snore.
Magico disappeared and reappeared wearing a pointed black hat festooned with magical symbols. He slammed the door closed; the dragon snorted and puffed out a coil of fiery smoke.

Reductions In UK CO2 Emissions Running Out Of Steam
h/t Robin Guenier
From Carbon Brief;
Carbon Brief analysis shows the UK's CO2 emissions fell for the sixth consecutive year in 2018, the longest series of continuous reductions on record.
The estimated 1.5% reduction was once again driven by falling coal use, down 16% compared to a year earlier, whereas oil and gas use were largely unchanged. However, there are signs the recent run of reductions could be coming to an end, with 2018 seeing the smallest fall in the six-year series.
The UK's CO2 emissions were an estimated 361m tonnes (MtCO2) in 2018, some 39% below 1990. Outside years with general strikes, this would be the lowest since 1888, when the first-ever Football League match was played and Tower Bridge was being built in London.
These findings are based on Carbon Brief analysis of newly released energy use figures from the UK's Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The department will publish its own CO2 estimates on 28 March.
The UK's CO2 emissions have now been falling for six consecutive years, the longest run of reductions in records going back to 1850 (the blue area in the chart, below).
There were particularly large falls in 2014 (8.7%) and 2016 (5.9%), with 2018 seeing a more modest 1.5% reduction, according to Carbon Brief's analysis. This means the UK's CO2 emissions stood 39% below 1990 levels at an estimated 361MtCO2 in 2018 (yellow line).
This is the lowest since 1888, outside three years of economic collapse during strikes by coal miners and other workers in 1893, 1921 and 1926, each of which is prominent on the chart, below.
The 1.5% reduction in the UK's CO2 emissions in 2018 is the smallest decline over the past six years. This highlights the fact that continued cuts cannot be taken for granted.
Still, since 1990, the UK has cut its emissions faster than any other major economy in the world, even as its GDP has continued to grow. Recent Carbon Brief analysis suggests reduced energy demand and a shift to cleaner sources of electricity explain most of the CO2 reductions since 1990.
Per-capita emissions in the UK fell to 5.4tCO2 in 2018, the lowest since 1858, when the population was less than half its current level. On this measure, the UK now ranks alongside France and well below China (around 7tCO2 per capita), but roughly three times the level in India (1.8tCO2).
https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uks-co2-emissions-fell-for-record-sixth-consecutive-year-in-2018
It is notable that emissions began falling sharply in the 1970s, as a direct result of North Sea gas replacing coal usage.
A renewed "dash for gas" in the 1990s also contributed to the fall.
Carbon Brief's analysis is based only on government data up to Q3, so it is a waste of time trying to prejudge the full year outcome, as they have done.
My post from last October in response to Claire Perry is still relevant, so I have copied it below:
The message is clear – we can keep cutting emissions without harm to the economy, just as we supposedly have in the past.
But a look at the actual numbers tells a rather different story.
First, the basic numbers:
Between 1990 and 2016, emissions of CO2 (ie not all GHGs) fell from 596 to 356 MtCO2. (Latest data is only available up to 2016).
Nearly all of the reduction occurred in two sectors, industrial and power.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/updated-energy-and-emissions-projections-2017
Emissions of CO2 from industry fell by 63 MtCO2 up to 2016. This drop emissions was a steady process, beginning around 2001. It is hard to see that this is anything other than the result of industrial decline. According to BEIS, energy consumption by industrial fell from 34.6 to 23.1 Mtoe during that period.
Of course, companies are always looking at ways to save energy, as I can personally attest from my years in the steel industry in the 1970s and 80s. But such savings tended to be more than offset by increased production.
Whatever the factors behind this decline, it certainly cannot be claimed by Perry as a positive benefit of her climate policies.
That brings us to the power sector, where emissions fell by 137 MtCO2 between 1990 and 2016. This figure can be neatly divided into two distinct segments:
1990 to 2009 – 52 MtCO2
The only significant change to the electricity mix prior to 2009 was a major shift from coal power to CCGT. Coal power virtually halved from 234 to 120 TWh, whilst CCGT rose from virtually zero to 159 TWh.
Total generation also rose by 40 TWh. Renewables were still in their infancy in 2009, so the vast bulk of the emission savings were the result of the switch from coal to gas, the dash for gas as it was called at the time, which began in earnest in 1993.
As in the US with their shale gas revolution, switching from coal to gas resulted in cheaper power and reduced emissions. Again, Perry cannot claim this as the result of climate policy.
With coal power now down to 21 TWh last year, there is obviously little scope for any more emissions from that direction.
The second period since 2009 is more complicated, but the changes in generation are shown below:
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/electricity-section-5-energy-trends
Obviously the switch to wind/solar has been a major contributory factor to the reduction in emissions, as has reduced consumption (for whatever reason). Increased imports has also helped to reduce UK emissions, regardless of how they were generated.
Equally, biomass also counts as zero emissions, but we know that this is far from the case in real life.
If we go back and summarise the emission changes since 1990, we can make some educated guesses:
Reduced industrial energy consumption: –63 MtCO2
Dash for gas 1990 to 2009: – 52 MtCO2
Wind/Solar: – 42 MtCO2
Reduced electricity consumption: – 20 MtCO2
Increased electricity imports: – 9 MtCO2
Biomass: – 14 MtCO2
LULUCF (Land use changes etc): – 16 MtCO2
Others : – 24 MtCO2
Total emissions have been cut by 240 MtCO2 since 1990, but adding biomass back into the figures as real emissions, the cut is only 226 MtCO2.
Of this, arguably only the saving of 42 MtCO2 from wind and solar can be said to be a direct result of govt policy. And this has been achieved only at great cost to the economy.
In terms of what is sustainable into the future, even if the power sector was totally decarbonised ( a highly unlikely prospect in the foreseeable future), we would only save a further 66 MtCO2.
The reality is that the bulk of emission savings since 1990 have not been the result of renewable energy, nor of any government action. Instead they have arisen because of a mix of unconnected events, which either cannot be repeated or we would not want to see be.
To pretend that we can carry on cutting emissions just as we did in the past and without any damage to the economy is mendacious in the extreme.
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2018/10/27/how-the-uk-has-cut-co2-since-1990/
Kevin Anderson of the Tyndall Centre comes to similar conclusions:
In other words, as New Scientist explains:
What's more, if you look at the actual emissions the UK is responsible for, rather than just the emissions from its territory, there's been hardly any decline in recent decades, according to a recent tweet from Kevin Anderson of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research. In other words, the UK's apparent success in cutting emissions is mostly a result of the decline of its manufacturing industries.
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2018/11/02/uk-emission-cuts-mostly-a-result-of-the-decline-of-its-manufacturing-industries/
As Carbon Brief point out, most of the recent reduction in emissions have come from reduced coal use. With emissions from coal now standing at just 27 Mt CO2, there is now little scope for more savings.
The low hanging fruit has now been picked, and to make further large scale cuts in CO2 will be much more difficult and increasingly costly.

One of the fundamental laws of economics is "the law of diminishing returns".
The Stern Review 2006 ignored this when it claimed that the costs of decarbonisation could be kept to 1% of GDP.
The UK imports a lot more electricity than it used to, but exports some as well e.g. to Ireland.

And carbon dioxide is not the Climate Control Knob it once was. The common people have been conned. Not pleasant when they realise why they have lost their jobs
\\ Of this, arguably only the saving of 42 MtCO2 from wind and solar can be said to be a direct result of govt policy.
And this has been achieved only at great cost to the economy. //
… Hmm where is the accounting for the construction phase of wind/solar ?
It is CO2 that was created that would not have been created
– In the construction phase the CO2 from conventional power has to increase cos of all the extra energy used to make the concrete & steel for wind turbines & towers and solar power infrastructure..
Now when that GreenPower* does come online then you can turn down the gas and coal , so there is theoretically less CO2 in a year than from keep gas/coal at the old level.
If we scrapped all GreenPower construction then today's CO2 would fall, cos we would be cutting concrete & steel production
The modelling between
#1 a power network WITH GreenPower
and #2 a power network WITHOUT GreenPower
but I suspect that in a real world situation and accounting for all factors cradle to grave, you are NOT getting huge CO2 savings.
* Green Energy could really be called Austerity Energy
..cos you get far less energy for each £
The report is from CarbonPants (the Greenblob PR agency)
\\ These findings are based on Carbon Brief analysis of newly released energy use figures from the UK's Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
The department will publish its own CO2 estimates on *28 March* //
ie wait 3 weeks and they'll be better data.
CO2 stats are bogus anyway
that's real CO2 coming out of Drax chimneys yet it us counted as zero if it's from wood burning
Simon Evans is extremely sloppy in the way he uses the words "greenhouse gases" and CO2 interchangeably
His tweet
\\Transport is now the largest source of UK greenhouse gases//
There are a few greenhouse gases , and CO2 is second behind water vapour.
A planet would still have greenhouse gas warming if its atmosphere had water vapour and zero CO2.

There has been a lot of crazy climate change propaganda in the last 48hrs on the BBC, both implicit and explicit – Australia heat and fires/USA tornadoes/India –
The most egregiously dishonest was the one on 'sinking' Ghoramara – because the sea levels are rising extra rapidly here because of all the extra melt water coming down the river – they said. The reporter pointed to a supposedly 30ft tree just sticking out the water as an example of how fast this was happening – crazy dishonest stuff.
This story of Ghoramara has appeared frequently over the years – even the BBC's old articles offer alternative explanations for the erosion – bad farming practices, removing all the mangroves etc. At the end of the day any low silty island in a river delta is going to be temporary. The thing not mentioned was that the delta is sinking fast – and the reasons why – partly man's fault, but certainly not climate change!
How can the eustatic, long-run, sea level be changing more in one place than another?
You can get different rates owing to river flow, currents, tides, el nino, the fact the earth bulges etc. (Everest isn't the furthest point on earth from the center) – but the BBC report was just a total confusion of factors dishonestly labelled 'sea level rise because of AGW'.

I just don't believe these figures. Were we really emitting more CO2 per person in 1880, when we didn't have cars, aircraft or electricity (in most homes) and no electricity powering TVs, phones, computers etc? When a large proportion of people still worked in agriculture rather than in offices with lighting, computers, air con etc? When we didn't have large automated factories using large amounts of energy?
It is surely not possible?
Apparently we used to use an awful lot of coal in the old days!

When Drax burns wood instead of coal the CO2 goes down ONLY because of an EU accounting fiction. It actually goes up.
This former accountant would give the figure for actual emissions (if known) and divide the destination of it into "permanent addition to stock in the air and water" and "temporary addition to stock in the air and water." A Note to this would explain that this treatment assumes that EXTRA planting will occur, and the temporary stock will be drained in, say, twenty years. It would also explain that until that draining occurs the temporary stock will play the same role in the dynamic economy of the environment as the permanent stock.
This former auditor would also say that the accounts are based on submissions by the Management, do not conform to generally accepted accounting principles, and are NOT certified to be true and fair.

UK CO2 production = 1.4% at most of the global total, so a reduction of 1.5% of that = a global reduction of 0.021%, for which we are paying through the nose. It won't even be noticed.
UK CO2 production = 1.4% (at most) of the world's total. A reduction of 1.5% of that = a global reduction of 0.021%, for which we are paying through the nose on our energy bills. No-one will even notice it.
Attempt 1 didn't appear at first. How do I delete an unintentional duplication?

I don't want UK emissions to fall, I want them way up.
Lets go back to coal, please.

The graph looks like the movement of industry to China and East Asia. This morning I shovelled all my doggie-doo over the fence into my neighbour's yard, so my "doo" went way down. Just as much total "doo" as yesterday in the "hood", but I'm not contributing! Aren't I virtuous?
EDF just notified me of the price cap rise effect – works out at 11.5% on my usage.
Might be able to reduce that to merely 10% by switching!
Worse to come, I've heard the standing charge is to be substantially increased to better reflect actual network (i.e. green) costs.

What seems to be missing is population growth this must be a significant factor, but, seems to be ignored

Most ofthe decline was a drop in manufacturing as industries went offshore to China were they primarily use coal so not worldwide emissions went up. The Cinese know this is economic suicide by the Europeans and are happy to play along.


The first quarter-final of Rugby World Cup 2015 sees the two-time champions South Africa up against Wales who will be hoping to capitalise on their decent run in this tournament and make their second consecutive semi-final appearance. It can be said that both teams are pretty evenly matched in terms of their run of results with both of them recording three wins and one loss thus far. For the Welsh it was three straight wins over Uruguay, neighbours England and Fiji before they were edged out by the Australians to see them finish in second place.
The Springboks on the other hand started the campaign off with a shock defeat to then-world number 11 side Japan 34-32. The South Africans redeemed themselves, despite the loss of their captain Jean De Villiers to injury and subsequent retirement, with convincing wins against Samoa, Scotland and the tournament's only whitewash; a 64-0 win over the United States of America to top Pool B. These two sides have faced each other on 30 occasions with the southern hemisphere side winning 27 and the Brits just two, including a 12-6 victory in November last year to end a 16-match losing streak to their opponents.
On the injury front it is the Welsh who are struggling as they have eight back line players out injured for this knockout match. Warren Gatland and his coaching staff are left with a challenge to find a partner for Jamie Roberts in the midfield as George North will revert back to the wing after filling in against Australia. The most likely options are James Hook and utility back Tyler Morgan.
For the 1995 and 2007 champions, they will nearly be back to full strength with JP Piertersen fit again and part of the 23 that will face up to Sam Warbuton and company on Saturday 17 October 2015. However former skipper Victor Matfield is on the road to recovery but is not fully fit yet. This is an exciting World Cup clash with the potential to swing in either team's favour based on how well they play to their strengths and exploit their opponent's weaknesses on the day.


The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has today announced it will establish a new technical division focused on System Design and Engineering from January 2019 and has appointed Dr Alex Wonhas as the inaugural Chief Officer of the Division.

Atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics is a rich and active area of fundamental research that has led to the development of powerful quantum devices in the areas of sensing, navigation, and time keeping. The breadth and relevance of AMO physics is highlighted by a large number of Nobel Prizes awarded to AMO physicists. Frontiers in AMO physics include manipulation of atomic systems at the single quantum level, generation of quantum mechanical light fields, developing real world applications of quantum entanglement, extending the use of atomic systems for precision measurement beyond time and frequency standards, and engineering quantum matter. AMO physics is also an enabling science: Lasers, spectroscopy, magnetometers, nuclear magnetic resonance, fiber optics, and atomic clocks are AMO technologies that permeate other fields. Large sectors of the US economy have developed as a result of these discoveries. AMO training leads to a wide range of high paying and intellectually rewarding jobs for students in academia, government, and industry. The AMO group at OU studies the interactions between and manipulation of atoms, molecules, and photons at low temperatures and energies. Current research areas in theory and experiment include the study of ultracold atoms and molecules, precise determination of interaction potentials and scattering properties, precision spectroscopy, quantum optics, ultracold Bose and Fermi gases, matter wave interferometry, quantum information and entanglement, and studying exotic bosonic and fermionic many-body phases with particular interest and effort toward realizing and understanding models relevant to condensed matter physics. These topics touch on many of the most important problems in physics today, such as quantum simulation and computing, tests of the standard model, quantum control, strongly correlated systems, and improved sensors that take advantage of the unique capabilities of AMO systems. Since its inception, the AMO group at OU has been regularly funded by the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, the American Chemical Society, the Department of Defense, and various private institutions. A large fraction of our experimental work is currently carried out in laboratories in Nielsen Hall. The group is looking forward to moving into new state-of-the-art laboratory space in summer 2018. The new building, situated right next to Nielsen Hall and made possible through extremely generous private donations, will come online in summer 2018. Students who choose AMO experimental research work on cutting edge techniques with state-of-the-art equipment featuring advanced laser systems, optics, ultra-high vacuum technologies, fast electronics and novel single particle detection methods. A thorough knowledge of these systems forms the basis of the skill set that allows AMO students be successful in their future careers. Students choosing to pursue theoretical AMO research have many options including formal mathematical physics, computational physics, and experimental modeling. Our computational facilities include an extensive network of powerful computer workstations, which are freely shared among members of the department. When larger computational resources are needed the OU supercomputer is widely used within the AMO group. The OU supercomputer facilities have been ranked as high as the 14th most powerful in a US academic institution. The OU supercomputer center also has a large cadre of help staff to facilitate the use of the computer. The training in formal theory to computational methods offered by AMO theory at OU is ideal for preparing students for successful careers.

Research Highlight: Schwettmann Group
Our group does research in the field of experimental ultracold atomic gases. We focus on cold collisions in sodium spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. At temperatures close to absolute zero, attainable with the methods of laser cooling and trapping and evaporative cooling, coherent collisional spin dynamics become observable in the gas. The dynamics are due to spin-exchange collisions and can be controlled with external fields. They present an opportunity to create exotic, entangled spin states useful for atom interferometry and will allow us to do experiments on quantum optics with matter waves. Currently we are in the early stages of setting up a new lab. Please do not hesitate to contact Professor Arne Schwettmann for more information.
Research Highlight: Watson Group
My group is engaged in the study of large many-body systems under quantum confinement, such as Bose-Einstein condensates and ultra-cold systems of Fermi gases. We are developing a method which minimizes numerical effort by using powerful group theoretic as well as graphical techniques. Our approach can handle strongly correlated systems of fermions and can describe their macroscopic collective motions. Fermion systems are important in many fields of physics provide the underpinnings for many technological applications. Our goal is to bridge the gap between a microscopic quantum description and the macroscopic properties of large N-particle correlated systems.
Research Highlight: Marino Group
Our research is in the field of experimental quantum optics, with particular emphasis on quantum information and quantum metrology. Quantum optics studies the quantum properties of light and their applications. Our research is based on the generation and control of entangled photons with atomic systems. The projects we are currently working on involve quantum engineering of our source to tailor the properties of the entangled photons and interfacing the entangled photons with devices, such as plasmonic sensors, to increase their sensitivity. Please do not hesitate to contact Professor Alberto Marino for more information.
Research Highlight: Abraham Research Group
Our research group investigates ultracold atoms and molecules. Using lasers to cool rubidium atoms to less than 1 thousandth of a degree above absolute zero, we study their behavior. With lasers and precisely controlled magnetic fields we induce resonant collisions to form new molecules, which helps us better understand molecular interactions. We use diffractive optics to create unique atom trapping geometries, including toroidal and ring-shaped traps. The ultracold atoms are used as a medium for non-linear optics experiments with these novel laser fields that may impact optical computing. Contact Dr. Eric Abraham for more information.
Research Highlight: Testing the Standard Model in a Single Molecule
Symmetry dictates that states of an atom or molecule with total angular momentum M?0 along the axis of an electric field will exhibit a two-fold degeneracy between states differing only in the sign of M. A time-reversal asymmetry could break this degeneracy. Almost every alternative to the Standard Model, (most notably Super Symmetric Theories), indicate that time-reversal asymmetry should lead to an observable energy difference between these otherwise degenerate ±M states. Prof. John Moore-Furneaux is searching for the signal of this time reversal asymmetry: a non-zero electric dipole moment of the electron. High precision measurements of PbF may reveal what billion dollar accelerators have not: evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model.
Research Highlight: Shaffer Group
Our research group studies atom based sensing exotic states of matter and various topics involving quantum engineering. All of our projects currently involve Rydberg atoms. Rydberg atoms are highly excited atoms that possess exaggerated properties that make them well suited for applications that require controllable long range interactions. We have projects investigating novel long range molecules formed by Rydberg atoms such as macrodimers and trilobite molecules, studying Rydberg atoms for quantum optics and using Rydberg atoms for traceable sensing of electric fields. Please do not hesitate to contact Professor James Shaffer for more information.
Research Highlight: Blume Group
Our group is looking at a wide range of static and dynamic few-body phenomena. We are interested, e.g., in understanding what it takes to bind two, three, or four particles together. How does the single-particle dispersion come into this? And what are the differences in terms of critical binding between short- and long-range interactions? Knowing how two, three, or four particles behave, can we predict what is happening at the many-body level? Please do not hesitate to contact Professor Doerte Blume for more information.

Ben Lively of the Bakersfield Blaze was named Wednesday as the California League starting pitcher for the 2014 California/Carolina League All-Star Game to be played June 17 at Wilmington's Daniel S. Frawley Stadium.
From MiLB.com's Sam Dykstra:
Through 12 starts (74 innings) with Bakersfield, Lively is 9-1 with a league-leading 1.95 ERA. The Reds' No. 12 prospect also stands second in the Minor Leagues with 86 strikeouts and fourth with a 0.85 WHIP.
But on the prospect landscape, Lively doesn't have the biggest name on the Cal League contingent. That belongs to Astros top prospect and 2012 first overall pick Carlos Correa, who will come off the bench in the Class A Advanced showcase. The 19-year-old owns a .328/.399/.495 line with five homers, three triples, 13 doubles, 49 RBIs and 15 stolen bases in 50 games with Lancaster.
Blaze outfielders Kyle Waldrop and Jesse Winker also are on the California League All-Star roster.

For some time now, I have been studying and researching child hauntings and child-related phenomena. I have even started doing consultations. My goal is to give parents the tools to help their children deal with the paranormal and unexplained of all kinds.
I also research the phenomena that is child-related, such as black-eyed kids, child ghosts, and more. There is very little actually known about these things, but I strive to know more.
If this applies to you or your child, I would love the chance to talk to you and help you. I would also like to hear from you if you have had a sighting.
I am currently writing a column on IMustBeHallucinating.com relating to this called Monsters Under The Bed. This is a "Dear Abbey" type column, and I am working on a book. I will only use your story with permission. Even if you do not give permission, I would still like to chat. I would like the opportunity to expand my research and help you.

One of the things I love about the clear Eppiflex templates is that they make fussy cutting your printed fabrics so easy. You dont need a separate perspex template to cut the fabric - you can use the template you sew with to make a "mask" of the fabric repeat you want.
This is something that we demonstrate at Quilt Shows, but I thought it was about time we got it on to the website so everyone can see how I do it.
I'm using one of the blocks from the gorgeous New Hexagon Quilt by Katja Marek. Im really enjoying making her design - the small blocks are just right for a busy person and most can be sewn up in just one session. In this block three rhombus meet in the centre of the hexagon. I want to put one flower right in the middle. I will need three of the same flowers to make this block. ie three repeats.
You'll need the following basic supplies to give this technique a go.
Firstly position your templates edge to edge in the pattern they will be sewn together. Flip them face down on a mat, keeping the edges together. In most instances face down will be the same as face up - but in my example here it isnt. Place a small amount of tape across the edges to hold them temporarily together on the back of the templates.
Place the taped piece on your fabric, over the particular design that you want to fussy cut. In this case - I want to put the green lotus flower in the centre of my 3 rhombi.
When you are happy with the design thats showing through your "window" begin tracing with your pen, making sure you avoid the cut out circles in the centre of the Eppiflex. Youll need to trace quite a few lines of your fabric so that your mask is accurate and easy for you to use later.
Now you need to find three of the same flower ( repeat) on the fabric.
Each one will be traced around with your new "masks" that you have made with your templates.
Use the blue erasable pen to trace around the template as it will just wash off later.
See how the black pen marks line up with the fabric design? Draw around all the sides of the templates.
Now you can attach the fabric to the templates using your preferred method. At this stage do not iron the fabrics or you will set the blue pen. The blue pen mark should sit exactly on the edge of your shape which will give you a perfect relica every time.
Have a go at fussy cutting some shapes - youll never look at your fabrc the same way again!
Many thanks for sharing your talent & skills.Look forward to fussy cutting out & thanks to you I will have success story & enjoy having a go.Well done Danny & thank you.

Mamba League youth basketball players thank Kobe Bryant, aim to continue Black Mamba Mentality
By Kelli Johnson
LOS ANGELES - The legacy of fallen NBA legend Kobe Bryant will continue to live on through future generations in part by the Mamba League.
The Lakers legend, along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, and seven others were killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas on Jan. 26.
Gianna was a rising basketball star who aspired to carry on her dad's legacy.
Also aboard the doomed helicopter were Gianna's teammates, Payton Chester and Alyssa Altobelli, who played for the Los Angeles Lady Mambas. The team was coached by Bryant.
After retiring from the NBA, Bryant continued his philanthropic efforts giving back to the Los Angeles community.
In collaboration with Nike and the Boys & Girls Club of Los Angeles, Bryant created the Mamba League in 2017, an eight-week program designed for kids between the ages of 8 and 10.
The Mamba League gives its players a chance to play basketball and passes on Bryant's keys to success.
Just last May, Kobe and Gianna stopped by the Wilmington Boys and Girls Club to inspire the young basketball players.
Adriana Garcia remembers key valuable lessons he shared with her.
"No matter what, keep trying until you succeed," Adriana said.
The league also encourages girls to play the sport.
Adriana says "girls can do anything they want to do. If boys can do it, girls can do it too."
Damian Gutierrez remembers meeting Bryant last summer.
Damian wears number 24, one of Bryant's retired numbers.
"He tapped me on the shoulder and told me he liked my jersey," Damian recalled.
Not only does Damian remember that special moment, he remembers what Bryant shared with his team, who went on to win a championship. No matter "if we're losing by a lot or by a little bit, just keep playing your game. Never put your head down and keep playing," Damian said.
With the upcoming Mamba League season approaching, Adriana and Damian both wish they had another chance to thank Bryant for what he's done for them and the City of Los Angeles.
