Graduates from Central Washington University's History Department Masters Program do not only graduate with a MA in History, rather they graduate with a key to open many doors in their future. Here is what some of our past graduate students have done for their theses.
Talea Anderson (thesis advisors Prof. Karen Blair and Prof. Daniel Herman): "A Conflicted History : Margaret Splawn, Yakima Indians, and Native American Policy Reform, 1910s-1940s."
Anderson examines the career of Margaret Larsen Splawn—Yakima rancher, historian, and clubwoman—in order to understand how white, female reformers shaped Indian policy in the 1920s and 1930s. In the early twentieth century, argues Anderson, Splawn helped craft a contradictory history of the West. On the one hand, she and others glorified Native American cultures while, on the other hand, they lauded white settlers who had stripped Native Americans of traditions and resources. The tension generated by the commemorative project, argues Anderson, made Splawn and her colleagues more receptive to the voices of real Indians living on the Yakama reservation. Splawn's Yakama acquaintances, in effect, made Splawn and women like her into critics of policies that denied Indians sovereignty.
Christina Bartholet (thesis advisor Prof. Jason Knirck): "Gaelicizing Ireland's Youth: The Pedagogy of Patrick Pearse and the Creation of St. Enda's School for Boys."
Christina's thesis explores the educational career of Patrick Pearse, one of the leaders of the Easter Rising of 1916. While his political and revolutionary careers are well-known, this thesis looks instead at his educational ideas. In particular, Christina uses St. Enda's--the school he created in 1908--as a lens through which to analyze Pearse's theoretical and abstract pedagogy, as well as his desire to infuse Irish education with specifically "Irish" content.
Paul Baker (thesis advisor Prof. Roxanne Easley): "Fur and Fortune on the Frontier: Private Individuals and the Colonization of Siberia."
Baker explored the shifting relationship of necessity between private and state interests in the Russian annexation of Siberia, as shown in the letters patent issued by Ivan IV to the Stroganov family. Baker finds that, much in the same way as European overseas empires, the Russian state relied heavily on private enterprise to profit from the rich resources of its colony. Unlike those empires, Russian colonization of Siberia was a military necessity too, in which the integrity of the metropole depended on border defenses the state was as yet unable to supply. Ivan the Terrible, in this context, granted sweeping economic and jurisdictional concessions to the Stroganov brothers. Rather than the omnipotent tsar granting monopoly favors, Baker argued that the construction of autocracy necessitated the temporary decentralization of authority.
Gregory Hinze (thesis advisor Prof. Daniel Herman): "Taking Hold: Arkansawyer Immigration to the Wenatchee Valley, 1930-1960."
Hinze interviewed several dozen residents of Wenatchee who have Arkansas roots. Unlike the "Okies" who emigrated to California in the Dust Bowl era, Arkansas emigrants moved back and forth between Wenatchee and the Ozarks, whence they came. Though they faced stiff prejudice in Wenatchee, many of them ultimately decided to remain. Meanwhile they became prosperous by riding the economic wave brought by the New Deal and the Second World War. Hinze's project is a fine example of what a graduate student can accomplish by combining oral history with newspaper stories and government reports.
Hinze is now a full-time instructor of history at Heritage College in Toppenish, Washington. His thesis will soon be published in book form by the Wenatchee World Press.
Jennifer Oliphant (thesis advisor Prof. Roxanne Easley): "Divine Transformation: Foundations of Power in the Reign of Ivan the Terrible."
Jennifer explored the symbolic, artistic, and written expressions of Muscovite political power. Using foreign and domestic written sources and the visual arts, Oliphant showed the ways that the Muscovite tsars drew on the spiritual authority of the Orthodox Church, the administrative and military power of the Mongol khans, and the historical grandeur of Byzantium to establish themselves as the rightful rulers of Russia and the equals of foreign monarchs. Following theoretical models such as that developed by Ernst Kantorowicz, Oliphant was particularly interested in the symbiotic relationship between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Muscovite princes in crafting the mythology of Russian monarchy. She described the "theater of power": the physical placement and movement of actors, religious "scripts" legitimizing the new tsar, physical "props" that represented tsarist power, such as the regalia, as well as the audience, comprised of Russian subjects and foreign observers. Through such representations, Oliphant argued, Tsar and Church crafted the foundations of not only a dynastic identity, but of a transcontinental Russian national identity to come.
Robert Zakula (thesis advisor Prof. Stephen Moore): "Americanizing the Island: Modernity and Unsustainability in Post-Invasion Grenada"
Robert , relying heavily on oral histories that he conducted in Grenada, argues that U.S. economic aid to Grenada following the American invasion of 1984 had mixed success. Grenadians generally supported the transition to democracy, free enterprise and social development that American-led initiatives encouraged, and the nation did so without suffering the more heavy-handed and long-term intervention felt by other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. At the same time, success in Grenada continues to depend on outside aid. In this sense, the success or failure of post-invasion development is to be found in Grenada's future.
Tamara Caulkins (thesis advisor Prof. Jason Knirck): "Values and Epistemology in Buffon's L'Histoire Naturelle" Chaired by Dr. Thomas Wellock and Dr. Jason Knirck.
Tamara's thesis analyzed the French naturalist Buffon's attempts to theorize the relationships between humans, animals, and nature, as well as how his own adoption of emerging bourgeois values shaped his natural history.
Tamara is currently a funded doctoral student in history at the University of British Columbia, studying early modern Europe and the history of science.
Yan-po Liu (thesis advisor Prof. James Cook): "Chen Cheng in the Chinese Civil War, 1947-1950."
This piece reviewed the role of Chiang Kai-shek's most famous general, Chen Cheng, in the famous Manchurian campaigns that were the beginning of the end of the Nationalist forces in 1947.
The University of Virginia accepted him into their Ph.D. program in 2009.
McKayla Sutton (thesis advisor Prof. Jason Knirck): "Illuminating the Irish Free State: Nationalism, National Identity and the Promotion of the Shannon Hydroelectric Scheme" Chaired by Dr. Jason Knirck.
McKayla's thesis studied how the government of the Irish Free State attempted to promote a self-consciously "modern" hydroelectric project in the context of an Irish nationalist culture that often glorified rural and anti-modern traditions. The thesis also analyzed what the promotion of the Shannon Scheme revealed about gender roles, tourism, and the Irish economy.
McKayla is currently a funded doctoral student in history at Marquette University, studying Irish and European history.
Tyler Christensen (thesis advisor Prof. Daniel Herman): "The Twenty-Fourth Infrantry and the Changing Perceptions of Race in Salt Lake City."
Christensen examined the interactions between "buffalo soldiers"—African-American soldiers in the U.S. Army—who were stationed in Salt Lake City in the 1890s and white residents of the city, both Mormon and non-Mormon.
Christensen is now a community college instructor.
Kirsten Erickson (thesis advisor Prof. Jason Knirck): "What Happens in the Interval': The Ulster Women's Unionist Council and Ulster Unionist Identity, 1912-1922."
Kirsten's work highlights the efforts of the Ulster Women's Unionist Council, an active group of Ulster women who advocated preserving the political and cultural connection between Ulster and Great Britain. This study demonstrates that the women were not tools of male politicians, but advanced their own agendas and practiced their own versions of both drawing-room and mass politics.
Kristen Erickson is the Librarian at North Bend Public Library.
Al Miller (thesis advisor Prof. Roxanne Easley): "Peer of the Masters: Westernization and Noble Identity in Eighteenth-Century Travel Literature."
Miller argued that by the eighteenth century, Russia's nobility was a socially but not politically privileged estate. In the course of Westernization, the tsars insisted that the court nobility learn the culture of the West, primarily to act as educated servitors on state projects. But the nobility endeavored to "measure up" to Western European standards in manners, comportment, and high cultural erudition. This process of assimilation created an enormous social gap between the educated nobility and the vast majority of the Russian people, which those same noblemen, now educated in Western social thought, could not fail to notice. The educated nobility's role, from state servitors to European aristocrats, again took a new shape: application of Western ideas in the service of the Russian people. Nikolai Karamzin and Alexander Radishchev showed this identity confusion via the travelogue, a literary tool of comparison, national pride, oblique criticism, and prescription. They indicated, in their choice of travel venues and vignettes, how educated noblemen ought to perform as privileged elites in Russia and the world.
Al is finishing up his Ph.D program at the University of Washington.
Katie (Pittner) Marney (thesis advisor Prof. Jason Knirck): "The Development of Modern Yoga: British Imperialism, Transnational Theosophy, and Indian Independence, 1875-1966."
Katie's thesis analyzes the transformations within the practice of yoga as it was espoused by British observers in India, promoted to middle- and working-class audiences back in Britain, and entangled in Indian nationalism in the twentieth century.
Katie is currently a funded doctoral student in library science at the University of Arizona.
Ramirose Attebury (thesis advisor Prof. Karen Blair): "From Academics to Social Training: Student Organizations at Washington State Normal School, 1891-1932."
Attebury examined the connection between student extracurricular activites and cultural trends in the early twentieth century.
Attebury is now a tenure-track librarian at the University of Idaho.
Rachael's thesis looks at the ways in which dance was used by Cuban revolutionaries to promote the revolution. She particularly focuses on how artists and authorities attempted to "Cubanize" both ballet—a quintessentially high culture and foreign form of art—and modern dance, often seen before the revolution as characteristically American and individualistic.
Rachael is currently a secondary school social studies and German teacher at Hanford High School in Richland, Washington.
Richard Coleman (thesis advisor Prof. James A. Cook): "Chinese Student Nationalism at Yanjing University."
Coleman's thesis looked at the role Yanjing University 's American faculty played in the development of student nationaliam.
Juanita Harman (thesis advisor Prof. James A. Cook): "Belligerence, Starvation, and Despair: The 1947 Anti-Hunger, Anti-Civil War Movement in Beijing."
Based on the archival research completed in China, the work analyses the role of student movements in the fall of the Nationalist regime in 1949.
Patrice Laurent (thesis advisor Prof. Michael Ervin): "Coffee's Competing Visions: The Development, Contestation and Negotiation of Soconusco's Coffee Economy"
Patrice's thesis focuses on the production of coffee in late nineteenth century Chiapas, concentrating on the triangular relationship between Chiapan coffee planters, indigenous laborers, and the central government in Mexico City. Patrice studied both the economic and cultural aspects of these relationships.
Patrice is currently a tenure-track professor of history at Montgomery County Community College outside of Philadelphia and enrolled in a doctoral program at Temple University.
Andrew Caveness (thesis advisor Daniel Herman): "Delate Tilicums: Edmond S. Meany and Chief Joseph: Science, Politics, and the Making of an Intercultural Friendship, 1901-1905."
Caveness examined Chief Joseph's later life, when he became an ethnographical informant for University of Washington professor Edmond S. Meany. Caveness examined Meany's motivation for befriending Chief Joseph as well as Chief Joseph's motivation for befriending Meany.


So it seems Paul Charron from Full Moon Cafe in Manteo has now entered the Outer Banks brewpub scene.
Actually, Paul has been brewing his English and Irish styled beers for some time, but over the summer, he finally started producing enough to place a couple of kegs in some local restaurants and bars. We're not sure about the whole list, but from what we can gather his beer is on tap at Trio, Red Drum and Lone Cedar Cafe.
That makes three really good brewpubs on the Outer Banks—Full Moon, Outer Banks Brewing Station and Weeping Radish.
Weeping Radish was the first . . . actually the first in the state . . . and it's not really on the Outer Banks anymore, since Ule Beniwitz moved his operation to Jarvisburg. But he gets a pass on that since he started in Manteo and his signature beer, Corolla Gold, is pretty easy to find.
The Brewing Station is probably the best known of all of them. Fantastic food, excellent beer with some very interesting experimentation going on. Hard to pick out a favorite there, but the LemonGrass Wheat beer is very refreshing on a hot day.


L ess than a week after police arrested a man for allegedly vandalizing signs along Church Street, a similar set of signs has been disturbed on the Quaker Street side of Granville Jr./Sr. High School.
Police said Sean M. Mahr, 21, was arrested Oct. 29 when he was allegedly spotted by a passing motorist damaging signs placed along the road by the group S.A.D.D. or Students Against Drunk Driving. School officials elected to press charges and Mahr faces one count of misdemeanor fourth-degree criminal mischief intentional damage of property because police said a witness saw him tangling with the signs.
A patrol officer said Mahr was still in the process of vandalizing the signs when they arrived on scene.
Mahr told police he ripped some of the signs out of the ground and knocked others over because he was upset after being fired from a Church Street business.
Mahr was processed and released to appear in village court at a later date.

Fenech & Fenech Advocates boasts one of the oldest and longest established dispute resolution practises in Malta. Indeed the Firm owes its origins to the first of four generations of litigation lawyers and has maintained a healthy litigation practise ever since and covering all areas of laws.
Fenech & Fenech Advocates was established in 1891, and particularly in so far as litigation is concerned it is one of the oldest and largest law firms in Malta with no less than seven lawyers (of which four are partners) actively engaged in litigation before the courts and tribunals of Malta.
The Firm's experience in litigation ranges from cases in constitutional law, public and administrative law, criminal law, civil law including contract law, family law, property law, commercial and corporate law, intellectual property law, consumer law, tax law, and most notably maritime litigation.
Today the Firm has an experienced and astute team of litigators who are active both in local litigation before the courts and tribunals of Malta and Gozo but also enjoy a vast experience in assisting clients in realising the possible potential of other avenues such as out-of-court settlements.
The Firm also engages the services of three in-house legal procurators operating within its various departments and providing assistance with judicial acts filed by the lawyers.
When speaking of dispute resolution most people will immediately think of a battle in court but of course apart from litigation dispute resolution can be achieved through mediation and arbitration.
The Firm also employs the services of a certified mediator with particular training in mandatory pre-separation mediation proceedings in terms of Maltese law. Furthermore, the firm's litigants are also experienced in local and international arbitrations.
"The 'outstanding' group at Fenech & Fenech Advocates has a longstanding reputation for contentious work. Fenech & Fenech is recommended for complex multi-jurisdictional cases involving EU and international law, as well as for regulatory and tax disputes."

reveals reverse vending machine trial success
Iceland has reported "significant consumer take-up" of its in-store trial of reverse vending machines, with more than 310,000 bottles recycled.
(Author :
The retailer revealed that since the launch of the trial in May a total of 311,500 bottles have been scanned into the reverse vending machines in stores across the UK. The trial incorporated England, Scotland and Wales, with machines installed in Wolverhampton, Mold, Fulham and Musselburgh, as well as a machine for staff use at the retailer's head office in Deeside. In November a daily average of 2,583 bottles were recycled across the five sites, with an average of £250 in coupons refunded per day, Iceland said.
In addition, the retailer conducted 40 interviews across the trial stores to understand consumer perceptions and appetite for the government's proposed Deposit Return Scheme. Monetary rewards, environmental consciousness, additional recycling potential and assured recycling were all listed as key factors influencing the use of the scheme. The research found that children seemed particularly engaged with how the machines work, with some even educating their parents and encouraging them to use.
Richard Walker, managing director at Iceland, said: "We've gained hugely valuable insights into both consumer interest and the functionality of the schemes, and it's clear from the results that consumers want to tackle the problem of plastic head on, and would be in support of a nationwide scheme.
"We'll be using these findings to inform future Iceland initiatives, and will be sharing our findings with DEFRA and across the industry to ensure any nationwide roll-outs are comprehensive and effective in our goal of tackling the issue of single-use plastics."
Iceland plans to extend the trial for a further six months to collect more data on the environmental impact of a potential national roll-out.

I am fortunate enough to work with wonderful professional people, but I work for a small agency and was promoted to administrator. Now I am responsible for tasks for which I had little or no training, and I don't get to see patients anymore, which was the part of the job I loved the most originally. I have worked in a variety of settings, and have worked with some very difficult people. But I believe that Nursing (like any other aspect of life) is what you make it.
Sure, we have the added burden of ensuring that the rules supplied by the third party payer are being met, which means paying attention to documentation. And we are dealing with people (our patients) who don 't really want to be in their situation, and often we are dealing with unhappy family members. Sure we do deal with bodily functions! But we have the privilege of connecting with our patients and their families in such a special way.
My advice to any Nurse that hates his or her job is to fix those things you can about it. Learn how to deal with difficult people, they exist within every profession. Resign yourself that as long as we are providing services for one entity and another entity is paying for those services, we will have to be careful with what seems like nit-picky rules in terms of documentation. If you are not a caregiver, find something else to do. And if you are promoted to a position that takes you away from what you love, do what I'm in the process of doing. Find a different job that allows you to do the "good stuff" for a higher percent of your day.

Freeze on green cards till Oct evokes anger
The freeze has hit Indians hard, who flew their families to the US and spent money on processing of documents, reports Aditya Ghosh.
Hindustan Times | ByAditya Ghosh, Mumbai
Legal immigrants in the US are up in arms over the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) decision to freeze processing of green card applications till October.
The reversal of an earlier decision announced in June followed the realisation that the green card quota for the year was already used up.
"The sudden backlog reduction efforts by Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices in the past month have resulted in the use of almost 60,000 employment numbers," the USCIS explained in a bulletin. "As a result, it is necessary to make immediate adjustments to several previously announced cut-off dates."
The freeze has hit Indians hard as many flew their families to the US, paid attorney fees and spent money on processing documents and medical tests. Now, protests have been launched on the Internet through blogs and chain mails. Many are even contemplating filing lawsuits against the freeze.
On June 12, thousands holding employment visas celebrated when USCIS said it would accept green card applications. "There was a scramble to fulfill the long list of requirements. We made numerous calls to India to gather documents, finished medical exams. It was a rude shock when on July 2 it was announced that no more applications would be accepted," Kunal Gupta, a computer analyst with the University of South Florida, told HT over email.
Aman Kapoor, founder and president of Immigration Voice, an NGO that helps legal immigrants in the US, told HT in an email: "We are reaching out to various agencies to determine options available to applicants.
The American Immigration Lawyers Association is thinking of filing a lawsuit against the USCIS over its rejection of otherwise properly-filed adjustment-of-status applications for the alleged reason that a visa was not available, even though the visa bulletin from the State Department states that a visa was available at the time of filing."


The Nigerian Shippers' Council (NSC) is set to introduce a new policy on freight rate.
This was disclosed in Lagos by Otunba Seyi Oduntan, the Chairman, Sub-Committee on Freight, a statement from the Council reads.
Speaking during a recent visit to Maersk Line and Grimaldi Line, Oduntan who is also a member of the Governing Board of the Council disclosed that the ports economic regulator has started stakeholders' engagement on the planned new freight rate.
He said the visit to the multinational shipping companies was mainly to seek their support for the new policy.
Oduntan said the NSC as the ports economic regulator has the mandate to make Nigeria a regional hub in African sub-region, adding that the Council has been working tirelessly to attain this aspiration.
Officials of the multinational shipping agencies in their response told the NSC team that the cost of transporting cargo from the ports has gone up, adding that this was at the detriment of the customers.
The shipping service providers also identified the deplorable state of the roads leading to Apapa as among the challenges being faced at the ports.


I know it was unrealistic but for some reason I had a picture in my head of Jane just being in our bedroom in the hospital bed, free of pain. Peaceful. But of course because she has trouble swallowing, she needs syringe drivers for some of her medication and this has dramatically changed the picture for me, making my house feel like a hospital. I am slightly overwhelmed by the enormity of the reality of our lives for the next few weeks.
Jane seems to be sleeping most of the time and if you ask me, it will be weeks, rather than a few months before we have to say goodbye to her. My God, I don't know how I am going to cope with it. I miss having my family around for support.(Sorry mum & dad, I know you read this blog and I know it upsets you that your daughter is so far away and that you can not give me a hug when I need one but I am not going to hide the fact that it upsets me too).
I would like to hear from other people with experience of loved ones dying at home. At the moment, my ideal option would be for Jane to be home until a few days before death and then go to the hospice. I feel I can not deal with having her body in the house, undertakers running around etc. I am afraid I might not be able to sleep in the bedroom again after that. My nan's sister said that she still has nightmares of when her husband died at home and all the things that happened after that. I know I might change my mind on this of course but I would like to know how other people feel about this.
>I am thinking of you both, I read your blog every time you post something new.
>Marieke, I thought to send you an email but am not at home, so no email address. Hence, send this publicly … With respect, your Nan and her sister are from another era. But they do have experience, which I don't.Consider keeping Jane at home through death. Stay with her for an hour or more afterwards. Just you. Talk with her. Then let her go to others. Walk with her then as they take her, out of the room, out of the house. It is not 'her'. She has already gone.This will be hard, but you will not regret it … I think you will be able to deal with it. I really do.
>I'd rather remember the two of you singing in the house when I came home from work than the pain you both have to go through now….fortunately you are one of the rare brave ones that stick with their love until the end. And I think that is exactly what you should do, care for her until the end. Although my brother is doing well at the moment I have seen him and his girlfriend confronted with death the last 5 years. Her determination to be there for him is the best gift she ever could have given, to both my brother and us as a family. He felt save by her….Jane will know that she is at home and feel save by you.

Last night DKMS, the largest bone marrow center, feted long time supporters Heidi Klum and Alejandro Santo Domino at its 6th Annual DKMS Gala at Cipriani Wall Street in NYC. Hosted by Katharina Harf and emcee'd by Nate Berkus with performances by LP and Skylar Grey, the night was a success by any measure — but especially because $3.2 million dollars was raised.
"As a mother of four, my heart breaks knowing that blood cancer kills more children in the U.S. than any other diseases," said Heidi Klum. "If you would like to help these children by becoming a donor, please get swabbed."
While fashion was not the focus of the evening, the star studded event was far from lacking in chic. Model Coco Rocha stunned in a Jason Wu dress that featured an ivory-houndstooth-pattern top and bubblegum pink skirt with an asymmetrical peplum detail. Carolyn Murphy wore a minimal chic Calvin Klein dress with just the right amount of demure shimmer, and Heidi Klum shone in Temperley London.

Mobile health, or mHealth, is broadly the use of mobile and wireless technologies to support the delivery and utilization of health care services. mHealth is a young field and a limited evidence base exists for demonstrating its efficacy, effectiveness and comparative effectiveness, especially its cost-effectiveness.
In order to address the core challenge of a limited evidence base, the mHealth Evidence website was developed to be the leading resource for cataloging, categorizing and grading mHealth evidence. This site contains both peer-reviewed and grey literature on mHealth activities in developed and developing countries and is curated with sources proactively identified or included based on request. Material is classified using a harmonized taxonomy to be easily filtered and searchable to facilitate the identification of evidence-based, high-impact mHealth practices.

Q: was + Past Participle = meaning? "but his phone was switched off"
What would be the meaning of above sentence?
A) his phone was switched off by someone. (Passive Voice)
B) his phone was automatically switched after battery discharged. (Transitive Verb switched off)
C) gives idea about status of phone. (Reported speech or statative sentence)

A: But his phone was switched off.
Switched is the past participle.  You form the passive voice with the expression be + past participle + by + someone.  As it doesn't indicate who switched off his phone, the said sentence means (A) His phone was switched off by someone.
You can also use switch off as an intransitive verb such as "His phone switched off".
The sentence may express (C) the status of the phone, but  it's more idiomatic and common if you say "His phone was off".

A: As you have discovered, switch off here is vague and without more context, it really could mean any of the three.
I would tend to assume C if I heard these words without any context at all, as if someone were to come up to me and start a conversation about a phone, I would expect them to say "by someone" if who switched off the phone is important.
Switch off tends to mean to actively do something to power something off.  While this could apply to many modern smartphones that actually do shut themselves off when the battery is low, I hear more often the term "my phone died" or "my battery ran out" if that's what happened.

A: I would say

Definitely C) regardless of the reason, whether it be A) or B) or D) etc.

Watch Live: Inauguration Day events after Biden is sworn in
Pirates Barely Hold On For Win
June 21, 1998 / 10:45 PM / CBS/AP
Jose Guillen wasn't thinking about his grand slam. He could only remember the Pittsburgh Pirates' failure six days earlier.
"I took a good swing and it felt great. But the big thing is we won the game. We had to forget what happened in Philly and not look back," Guillen said after the Pirates nearly blew a seven-run lead Sunday before beating Milwaukee 8-7.
The Brewers, trailing 8-1 in the seventh inning, came back behind Jeff Cirillo. He hit a two-run single in the eighth, and another two-run single with two outs in the ninth.
Milwaukee's three-run rally in the ninth ended, though, when Dave Nilsson fouled out to left with the bases loaded. Ricardo Rincon held on for his ninth save in nine chances.
The Pirates blew a 7-1 ninth-inning lead at Philadelphia on Tuesday night, and they came tantalizingly close to outdoing themselves at County Stadium.
"Bottom line is that we won the game," Pirates manager Gene Lamont said.
Esteban Loaiza (5-3) pitched seven solid innings in his longest outing of the season. In his first start since May 22 at Florida, Loaiza gave up two runs and five hits, walked none and struck out seven as the Pirates took three of four from the Brewers.
Guillen was mired in an 8-for-46 slump (.173) before hitting his sixth homer and first career grand slam for a 6-0 lead in the third.
It was the third time in eight days that Jeff Juden started against the Pirates. He threw four scoreless innings against them on Thursday night but didn't return to the mound after a nearly three-hour rain delay.
But Juden (6-6), who had surrendered just one earned run in 13 innings in his previous two starts against Pittsburgh, was nowhere near as effective this time.
He allowed seven earned runs and six hits in two-plus innings, walked three and tied a club record by hitting three batters.
"Let's stop the speculation that I brought him back too soon. Let's say that's what it was," Garner said. "It's obvious he didn't have his control today. He hit guys with his breaking balls. I brought him back on two days' rest and he struggled."
And he didn't waste any time doing it.
Tony Womack led off the game with a single, stole his 26th and 27th bases and scored on Jason Kendall's sacrifice fly. Kevin Young followed with a RBI single.
In the third, Juden hit Kendall and Jermaine Allensworth around a double by Young and Guillen hit a fastball 428 feet to the stands in center field.
Travis Smith, making his major league debut, relieved Juden after the next batter drew a walk, and Pittsburgh made it 7-0 on Womack's groundball.
Smith threw two impressive innings but he strained his pitching elbow on a slider to his last batter. He'll be evaluated on Monday. The Brewers already have thee pitchers on the disabled list and Scott Karl has a groin injury. The last thing they needed was for Smith to get hurt.
"Isn't that something?" Garner said. "We'll check him out tomorrow."
Loaiza held the Brewers hitless into the fifth before Nilsson's bloop single, followed by Bobby Hughes' RBI single.
Al Martin's RBI single off Paul Wagner in the sixth made it 8-1.
Jose Valentin made it 8-2 with his 11th homer, off the right-field pole in the seventh and Cirillo added a two-run single off Jason Christiansen in the eighth, making it 8-4.
Fernando Vina hit an RBI single with two outs in the ninth off Rincon before Cirillo singled again.
Notes: Kendall was plunked by a pitch in the third for the 19th time this season. He leads the majors. ... The three hit batsmen by Juden equaled the Brewers' team record, set by Pete Broberg at Oakland on Aug. 17, 1975, and tied by Bill Wegman against Kansas City on April 28, 1992, and Steve Woodard on April 27 this year, also against the Pirates. ... Bud Selig, who has refused to confirm reports he's about to become baseball's commissioner, showed up in the press box for the first time this homestand but again declined comment: "Sorry, I'm off today," he said. ... Brewers pitcher Cal Eldred pinch-ran for John Jaha in the ninth.

Michael Jordan's Resume
Colts' Burlsworth Laid To Rest


Auto manufacturers have attempted to replicate German automotive design for years, and it's not hard to understand why. With their elegant styling, timeless design and legendary performance pedigree German classics like the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing and BMW E30 M3 have withstood the test of time.
On Feb. 9, Hyundai unveiled the all-new Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R-Type at the Chicago Auto Show. The new variant of the Genesis features all of the attributes of many German luxury sedans. The R-Spec is powered by a 5.0-liter V8, producing a very impressive 429 horsepower. That's more than the Mercedes-Benz E550 and BMW 550i. The car also features an 8-speed "Shiftronic" automatic transmission. The styling and design of the new R-Spec takes many features from its competition. The taillights look nearly identical to the those on the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS-class. Even the optional added safety features take from its peers, such as the Lane Departure Warning System and the LED daytime headlights, a new addition to 2012 CLS-class.

The new Hyundai Genesis R-Spec might look good on the outside, but judgment will have to be reserved until it gets put up to the real test. If the R-Spec can hold its own against its top-of-the-line competition and prove it's a serious contender, then it might be able to distinguish itself. It will also have to convince prospective customers to purchase a Hyundai instead of a BMW or Mercedes-Benz.
If there's one thing that can be taken from the debut of the Hyundai Genesis R-Spec it's this: German and Japanese manufacturers aren't the only ones who are taking aim at the luxury sedan market any more. The Genesis R-Spec proves a Korean company, whose vehicles were once though of as inexpensive and poorly made, have gotten better, much better. The Hyundai Genesis R-Spec might not have the pedigree or history of the competition, but it doesn't seem to matter. Hyundai seems determined to take a piece of the pie and is trying harder than ever to cement their brand with the automotive elite.
The Hyundai Genesis R-Spec will go on sale in the U.S. in the summer 2011.

The Relationship Between Indicators of Nasal Respiratory Function and Spirometric Parameters in Children With Bronchial Asthma
Introduction: The relationship between objective indicators of nasal obstruction and airflow limitation in children with bronchial asthma (BA) and allergic rhinitis (AR) has not yet been studied. Objective: To study the relationship between objective parameters of nasal obstruction and airflow limitation, determined using the methods of anterior active rhinomanometry (AARM) and spirometry in children with BA and AR. Materials and Methods: Eighty eight children and adolescents with BA and AR, boys−65.9% (58/88), were examined. The median age was 11.09 [10.42; 11.76] years. To determine airflow limitation, the following spirometric parameters were evaluated: forced vital capacity of the lungs (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), the ratio of FEV1/FVC, and maximum expiratory flow at the point 25% of the flow-volume loop (MEF25). Data were recorded both in absolute values and in relative units (% pred). Nasal respiratory function was determined by AARM based on the total nasal airflow (TNAF) in absolute (Pa/cm3/s) and relative units (RTNAF, % pred). Results: In the general cohort and in boys but not in girls, a statistically significant direct correlation was found between TNAF (Pa/cm3/s) and absolute spirometry parameters of bronchial patency—all had p < 0.01. Also, RTNAF and relative MEF25 values (% pred) in the general cohort were R = 0.22, p = 0.04, and in boys, R = 0.28, p = 0.03. In girls, there was no statistically significant correlation between nasal respiratory function and spirometric parameters, all p > 0.05. Additional analysis of literature was conducted to ascertain that the identified gender differences were not occasional. Conclusion: The significant positive correlation of absolute values of AARM and spirometric parameters in children with BA and AR was established, which apparently reflects the physical development of children. Of all the relative indicators of spirometry, only MEF25 (% pred), which indirectly reflects the patency of small bronchi, had a distinct direct correlation with RTNAF. These patterns are clearly expressed in boys with BA. In girls with this disease, however, the relationship between nasal respiratory function and spirometric indicators seems to be more complex and requires further study. © Copyright © 2021 Krasilnikova, Khramov, Khramova, Ovsyannikov, Daniel-Abu, Novozhilov, Shahov, Kubysheva and Eliseeva.

The Colts (5-5)
Indy beat the Atlanta Falcons (6-4) in a 24-21 road game to help the Colts remain tied for first place with the Texans in the AFC South. The Falcons have now lost three in a row and continue to slide away from the undefeated Carolina Panthers (10-0) in the NFC South.
The Colts will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-5) next.
The Jaguars (4-6)
Jacksonville edged out a 19-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans (2-8) on Thursday Night Football. The Jags will next host the San Diego Chargers (2-8) who are on a six-game losing streak as they anchor the bottom of the AFC West.
The Titans (2-8)
Tennessee will look for their first win at home after losing the last ten consecutive tilts at their own stadium. This week, they host the Oakland Raiders (4-6), who are in third-place in the AFC West.

INJURY STATUS v. JETS
CB - Kareem Jackson: Ankle.
QB - Brian Hoyer - Concussion.
RB - Chris Polk - Hamstring.
LB - Akeem Dent - Hamstring.
Movie Quote (name it):
"Just a fly in the ointment, Hans. The monkey in the wrench. The pain in the ass."
Bravo Zulu - DeAndre Hopkins
(Bravo Zulu is a naval signal, conveyed by flag hoist or vocal, for "Well Done")
This was a tough call, because so many players really stepped it up this week. In the end, I'm going with DeAndre Hopkins for repeatedly outplaying a player many consider the best cornerback in the NFL. The Texans sent Hopkins to "Revis Island," and Nuk stuck a flag in the middle of it and turned it into his own personal party zone. He notched two more touchdowns and broke 1,000 receiving yards on the season. The guy moved the chains with one-handed catches that left even Revis in disbelief.
John Harris of The Mothership covered it best here:
I was about ten to 15 feet away from DeAndre Hopkins one-handed grab in the second quarter. He made that look so easy, yet that's so incredibly hard to do. I saw Darrelle Revis just shake his head after Hop made that catch. The best part about that was that a ton of receivers would come back and gestured for a first down or found Revis to whisper sweet nothings in his ear. Nope, not Hop. He just walked over to the ref, gave him the ball and went back to the huddle.
Hop's 61-yard touchdown over Revis was a similar play concept to the one that Nate Washington caught in the win over Tennessee. This was the one matchup we all wanted to see and many asked me if the Texans would throw at Revis. I said absolutely and wasn't surprised at all that the Texans went after him early. In fact, the Texans should've gotten off to a 7-0 lead had quarterback T.J. Yates not overshot Hopkins after the wide receiver double moved Revis in the first quarter.
On that play, Hop ran an out and up, stutter and go. It was more like a triple move, than a double move. Most importantly, though, he ran well past Revis. A touchdown there and the building would've come down.
J.J. Watt was incredibly disruptive all game long. He isn't just the heart of the defense, he is the soul of the entire team. I initially gave Watt the BZ this week, and he was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week, but Nuk owning Revis was so unique that Hopkins earned the nod.
John Harris offered this in his article, which is a great write-up of the game on the Texans' website:
Speaking of Watt, he was flat outstanding. He stuffed the stat sheet, yet again and came up with one big play after the other. On the first drive of the game, the Jets strung together a few first downs and had passed into Texans territory. On the first down of the next series of downs, Watt split the block of Giacomini and tight end Kellen Davis and chased down running back Stevan Ridley on the counter play away from him. For the first time all game, the Jets were behind the chain and after a Brian Cushing tackle for a loss, the Texans got off the field with no damage done.
Cecil Shorts III also came close to earning the BZ recognition this week with his multipurpose role on offense.
Xavier Su'a-Filo received good reviews for his performance and is finally delivering on that lofty investment the team made in him as the 33rd overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
Eddie Pleasant and Andre Hal also both collected interceptions this game. It's clear that the secondary is finally coming together.
Stories From The Brig
There really isn't anything to criticize from this game, as all 46 active players made contributions to a solid win against an AFC opponent.
Whew! That felt so good to write. If they keep this up, we can have the plank removed and install a margarita machine.

Here's another good drink recipe for cooler temperatures.
HOT TODDY!
Alton Brown of Food Network provided this gem of a crowd-pleaser:
1 lemon, thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup Demerara sugar
2 1/2 cups Scotch whiskey
Combine the lemon, sugar, and water in a small, 2 to 3-quart slow cooker set to high. Cover and heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely, 20 to 30 minutes. Add the Scotch whiskey and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and serve warm with lemon slices and freshly grated nutmeg.
On The Horizon...
Houston hosts the New Orleans Saints (4-6) next, and the Texans will look to improve to a winning record and sole possession of first place in the AFC South.

US names 23-man roster for World Cup — Dempsey, Yedlin Brazil bound
Madison McCord | 22 May, 2014 | Sounders, The Fringe | No Comments
The United States Mens National Team has named their 23-man roster for next month's FIFA World Cup in Brazil, and the golden boy has become a goat.
The levels of emotions this afternoon following the oddly-timed announcement ranged from stunned and shocked, to anger and hatred. Hordes of metaphorical villagers stormed the fictitious castle of Der Klinsmann with pitchforks made up of poorly-worded tweets.
Landon Donovan will not be donning the Red, White and Blue this summer, as Klinsmann has decided to leave the country's all-time leading scorer out of his fourth World Cup campaign.
Donovan is not alone though. The hopes and dreams of Clarence Goodson, Michael Parkhurst, Joe Corona, Maurice Edu, Terrence Boyd and Seattle Sounder Brad Evans were also dashed in one fell swoop — but no omission was as surprising to the masses as that of Donovan.
The focus must switch to those 23 men who will now represent our country in Brazil. These are the men who will face the most difficult travel arrangement of any side and play in one of the most difficult groups in tournament history. These men are bolstered by a core stronger than any in recent memory, and backed-up buy a group of youngsters willing to run.
Our own Clint Dempsey will lead the attack, while DeAndre Yedlin looks on and learns. For Deuce, it's his third attempt at World Cup success and at Ghana. For Yedlin, it's a chance to make his mark in a tournament where he becomes the first-ever MLS Home Grown Player to make a US roster.
The surprises are there. Along with the obvious — there's the inclusion of Houston's Brad Davis and young center back John Brooks. Goodson, who I figured to be in position to possibly start, returns to San Jose — while club teammate Chris Wondolowski tries to shake off the bad-rap he's gotten since becoming a semi-regular for Klinsmann's side.
This is not a team that will immediately throw in the towel, nor are they a team of world-beaters — they were neither before Donovan was left off, and they aren't now. That said, it's perfectly acceptable to be a complete pessimist about this summer's competition for the Yanks — but I for one, will never become anything less than a glowing optimist.
Full roster:
Goalkeepers: Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)
Defenders: DaMarcus Beasley (Puebla), Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), John Brooks (Hertha Berlin), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Timmy Chandler (Nürnberg), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Fabian Johnson (Borussia Mönchengladbach), DeAndre Yedlin (Seattle Sounders FC)
Midfielders: Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Alejandro Bedoya (Nantes), Michael Bradley (Toronto FC), Brad Davis (Houston Dynamo), Mix Diskerud (Rosenborg), Julian Green (Bayern Munich), Jermaine Jones (Besiktas), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City)
Forwards: Jozy Altidore (Sunderland), Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders FC), Aron Johannsson (AZ Alkmaar), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes)

I am trying to create a button on a faceplate that can search the control structure to open another faceplate of a different object in the control structure. I am looking to object type this functionality for all instances of the object type.
While this is easy to do from a faceplate element or graphic element using Late binding functions, I'm not sure the best way to do this for the button to invoke the action on the faceplate button/indicator bar.
Be VERY careful using late binding. Late binding is slow and makes a noticable delay in opening graphics. The more late binding you have, the longer it takes to open a graphic. Test this carefully to ensure you dont have a significant performance impact.
You will find this much easier if the "sub" faceplates you want to open are properly ordered to be children of the main parent faceplate. In this case you may no need late binding at all. Use Composite Object Types to achieve this functionality.
Thanks Rob. These types are not composite objects/sub faceplates intentionally. They follow a consistent naming scheme that I am using late binding to open the other faceplate. This works with a button on the graphic, but the preference would be to not modify the faceplate elements and rather the indicator/button bar of the faceplates.
Can I use scripting to open a new object/aspect and tie the script to a faceplate button?

Review: "The Origami Garden" by Ioana Stoian
by Jane Rosemarin (MN)
Edited by Sara Adams
"THE ORIGAMI GARDEN: Amazing Flowers, Leaves, Bugs and Other Critters" by Ioana Stoian

Crocus designed by Ioana Stoian as presented in the book
Photo in the book of a clothesline of models
At first I didn't understand Ioana Stoian's origami. It was too simple. The finished model didn't stray far from its origami base. But as I paged through her first book, "Origami for All," I eventually began to understand that Stoian is an artist who has chosen origami as her medium. Her work is not hard to fold, but it has a consistency of style and a real beauty. Last year, Stoian produced an origami-inspired handmade artist's book, and the online video showing it in action demonstrates her ability to incorporate origami into artwork.
Stoian's second published book, "The Origami Garden," presents works that fit her aesthetic profile and could conceivably be found in a garden (even if – like a dress – on a laundry line). The models were created by Stoian and a handful of others, or are traditional.
The crocus, one of Stoian's designs, is a good exemplar of her style. The flower is made from a preliminary base with narrowed sides — "I could have designed that," you might say. The leaves show a thin sliver of the reverse color running up the center, and when the flower, stem and leaves are set in a tiny flower pot, the result is stunning.
Other flowers found in the book are a two-dimensional carnation, suitable for a greeting card; the traditional peel-down tulip; the traditional lily and several variations; and Stoian's "Flower in Full Bloom." There are a few containers for flowers, or anything else. A box by Leyla Torres makes a good flower pot. James Sakoda's basket is diagrammed, although it is not credited to him.
And as mentioned above, there is lots of clothing: pants, shorts, Alison Riesel's dress, the traditional shirt, a cute pair of socks with contrasting heel and toe (although the reverse of the model is mostly white).
The animal kingdom is represented by a dog, a cat, a bunny basket, a bee and a butterfly, among others. There are a few traditional birds as well as the Jenny Wren by Viviane Berty and an owl by Wayne Brown. Two notable designs are a rather modernist squirrel by Stoian and a minimalist snail by Eric Gjerde — just a spiral fold for the shell, plus a body and a head with those strange eye tentacles snails have.
A number of the models have been published before, and some are available through online instructional videos by Leyla Torres, but there is enough new material to make the book worthwhile. The models are simple to low intermediate in difficulty, and a packet of patterned and solid paper is included so you can, as the cover says, "start right now!"
And indeed, if you want to start even before buying the book, here are some online resources of models presented in the book:

Do you have old electronics in your house? I do not imply classic pieces like old Ataris, I suggest electronic devices that you have actually utilized, and just do not have an use for any longer. There seems to be a divide between brand-new electronic devices (which are always expensive) and classic electronic devices (which still command high costs in some circles). Anything between the cutting edge and the older just does not seem to be good for much. That might make you think that there's absolutely nothing you can do with your used mobile phone or laptops than simply throw them away, but that's not the case. If you have actually some utilized devices in your home, you can enter offering old electronic devices.
It's easier than you believe to sell utilized electronic devices, and all of it is on the up-and-up. Lots of people are searching for used mobile phone, laptops, and other devices. Someone may want an inexpensive computer system for school, or to serve as their kid's first computer system. Another person might desire a new Blackberry, but not have the ability to afford more than a used one. Another person may have a preference for a cell phone model that was discontinued, requiring them to rely on second-hand sources to fill their needs. Offering old electronic devices products this market, and is an entirely safe, legitimate way to get money.
Offering old electronics the simple way entails contacting an utilized electronic devices site. The site will supply you with an estimate, and a method to mail your devices for free. Visit Campad Electronics as well. You just have to provide your address and your electronic devices. When they are received, you'll get your money.
There are a couple of reasons that offering old electronic devices through an utilized electronics site is much better than the alternatives. Unless you have some classic pieces that a hard-core collector would be interested in, you're not most likely to get much attention on an auction website. Offering old electronic devices through an utilized electronic devices dealership is ensured to get you payment, given that you aren't stuck waiting on a client to reveal interest. Likewise, if you set up a listing on a categorized or auction website, you're going to need to handle a lot of individuals that wish to argue and haggle with you. In the end, you might speak with 10 purchasers a day for an entire week, and still not be any closer to offering your electronics.
Selling old electronic devices is the very best method to get a reasonable cost for your stuff, too. If you try to turn it in at a pan shop or thrift store, you won't get almost as much cash. In many cases, you might not get any- these places grow off of things they can sell back to the general public. Their odds of bring in somebody who's interested in outdated technology aren't any much better than yours are, so it's extremely likely that they'll shoot you down. If they do not, you might end up taking a look at around $20 for a completely excellent, pre-owned cell phone. Why go through all of the inconvenience of discovering a pawn shop, just to get so little loan in return?
Last but not least, although electronics normally include some important metal elements (gold, for instance), they do not generally consist of enough to make selling them for scrap a rewarding undertaking. Plus, when electronic devices are recycled, it takes a lot of work to break them down. It isn't as though you can simply take them apart and strip out the important bits, you're looking at having to grind up an entire laptop computer or cellular phone, and screen out the essential things. In the end, you may end up with a few cents' worth of valuable metals, and a lot of worthless plastic. You'll wind up getting a lot more if you offer your electronic devices as-is to a used electronics dealer.
Selling old electronic devices doesn't require to be time consuming, complicated, or expensive. Your gadgets don't need to be cutting edge or vintage, even things that are a few years old can get you some cash. Go through an utilized electronics website, and you'll more than happy you did. Any shipping, advertising, and repair work expenses will be spent for by them, not you, so everything you make is earnings.

I can't find a way to tell Jenkins to perform a clean checkout. By "clean," I mean it should remove all files from the workspace that aren't under version control.

A: First, you can not assume that a workflow job has a workspace as it was for freestyle jobs. Actually, a workflow job can use more than one workspace (one for each node or ws block).
Said that, what I'm going to propose is a kind of hacky: modify the scm object before checkout to set up a CleanCheckout extension (you will have to approve some calls there).
import hudson.plugins.git.extensions.impl.CleanCheckout
scm.extensions.replace(new CleanCheckout())
checkout scm

But I'd prefer Christopher Orr's proposal, use a shell step after checkout (sh 'git clean -fdx').

A: I'm not sure if this answers the original question or not (I couldn't tell if the intention was to leave some files in the workspace) but why not just remove the workspace first, this would allow a clean checkout:
stage ('Clean') {
    deleteDir()
}

stage ('Checkout') {
    checkout scm
}

A: I run into the same problem and here is my workaround.
I created a new scm object for the checkout and extended the extensions with the CleanBeforeCheckout. But i kept the other configurations like branches and userRemoteConfigs.
checkout([
    $class: 'GitSCM',
    branches: scm.branches,
    extensions: scm.extensions + [[$class: 'CleanBeforeCheckout']],
    userRemoteConfigs: scm.userRemoteConfigs
])

It's still not perfect because you have to create a new object :(

A:
Behaviors can be added when configuring the source.  clean before checkout, clean after checkout and Wipe out repository and force clone.  This removes the need to add logic to the declarative / scripted pipelines.

A: Adding Christopher-Orr's comment as an answer to just do:
stage('Checkout') {
  checkout scm
  sh 'git clean -fdx'
}

A: Jenkins currently contains a page to generate groovy pipeline syntax. Selecting the checkout step you should be able to add all the additional options that you're used to.
I generated the following which should do what you want:
checkout poll: false, scm: [$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: '*/master']], doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false, extensions: [[$class: 'CleanBeforeCheckout']], submoduleCfg: [], userRemoteConfigs: [[url: 'ssh://repo/location.git']]]

Message from my Aunt on her son's death anniversary by Zeina Hashem Beck
In almost every country, in particular those where guns are prevalent, the murder rate is overwhelmingly men killing men; whether in gangs, organised criminal activities, or random acts of violence. Yet, it is women, mothers especially, who are at the forefront of the grieving and action to stop further killings of their sons and partners. In the UK, there are initiatives such as the Mothers Against Violence in Manchester, in a number of US states MOMS Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, there is even a Grandmothers version of this group.
Of course, in zones of conflict and state-sanctioned violence, the pattern is even worse. In Argentina, during military rule in the 70s & 80s, it is estimated that 30,000 people went 'missing'. It is the mothers, sisters, aunts, who turn up at political institutions, holding pictures of their loved ones who were taken by the junta, asking for information. In the once besieged town of Raqqa in Syria, families are now searching for their men who went 'missing' at the hands of Islamic State. And one can only imagine how widespread this is in Syria at the hands of the government.
Zeina Hashem Beck's poem, 'Message from my Aunt on her son's death anniversary', beautifully tells of the narrator's relationship with her aunt who lost her son 'to a shooting on the street'. This is done through the seemingly blunt tool of texting and emoticons, but what is told is poignant, sad, and also uplifting, about a love between an aunt and niece – two women grieving over the loss of another man to gun violence.
Zeina Hashem Beck is a Lebanese poet. Her most recent collection, Louder than Hearts, won the 2016 May Sarton NH Poetry Prize. Her work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, won Best of the Net, and appeared in Poetry, Ploughshares, World Literature Today, the Academy of American Poets' Poem-a-Day, and elsewhere. Her poem "Maqam" won Poetry Magazine's 2017 Frederick Bock Prize.
Message from my Aunt on her son's death anniversary
My aunt, the one who lost a son
to a shooting on the street, the one slowly losing
her sight, sends me voice messages and emoticons,
prayers like A fortress, my love,
protect you from harm in all directions –
above and below you, behind and before you.
Today, the emoticon is an orange.
Perhaps it's a mistake. Perhaps she means
a kiss, or a heart, or a flower,
her eyes and aging fingers failing her.
But perhaps she means the fruit, remembers
how she used to sing me that song
where I was the orange she wanted
to peel and eat and not share with anyone,
remembers how much I love sour winter oranges,
the way they are round and whole, yet break
into many bright crescents hidden beneath their skin.
Perhaps she's saying what she always says
when she opens her arms and walks towards me,
I was telling myself you must have arrived.
The whole town smells of oranges when you are here.

Inside Out by Zeina Hashem Beck
The late great Liverpool football manager Bill Shankly had many famous sayings that are repeated to this day. The one that struck me growing up was, "Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that." Although I have followed football all my life, I have rarely, if ever worn my team's shirt. For one, I didn't want to get beaten up by any wayward away fans; and two, I have never liked the tribal allegiance element of the game nor the violence that lies behind it.
Football is also not devoid of influencing national politics to the point of igniting armed conflict as was the case in 1969 between Honduras and El Salvador. The political map influences where teams will play; most notable being that the Israeli national team and its clubs compete in Europe. The Palestinian team was only recognised by FIFA in 1998, but has great potential despite the political and social conditions that surround it. I bought the Palestinian football shirt, as a small act of support when at the large protest march against the war in Gaza last year.
Of course, football is a passion among many people in Gaza and the West Bank, and Zeina Hashem Beck puts that into stark perspective in her heart-breaking poem Inside Out, where she paints a scene of Gaza under attack during the World Cup in Brazil in 2014. "my friend's mom in Gaza is cheering/for Brazil and Holland/all that orange/burning almost/a sunrise all that/smoke". Zeina goes back and forth from the football to the terrible scene unfolding, "there's an old woman/who dies holding/her spoon waiting/for iftar/which comes but so do/the rockets/and the news/Brazil loses to Germany 7-1". The poem continues without punctuation reflecting the relentless nature of the Israeli bombardment, until the end of the tournament when, "a player kisses a trophy/his wife his son/a mother/kisses a dead child/grief inside out/is resistance" Like Laila Sumpton's poem 'Morning Prayers', Zeina juxtaposes the everyday events we take for granted, such as watching a football match with the tragic situation in which Palestinian people live, in a wholly different type of everyday event.

It's a sweet run from the UK lass, especially when she goes from backside rodeo into super-smooth cab underflip nosegrab! That bag of tricks is getting bigger all the time – surely it's only a matter of time before she's cleaning up the TTR tour?

Q: JAVA/ANDROID - Open SecondActivity when url.endsWith(".html")) WebView I just wanted to open a second activity (webview) when user click on links whitch ends like .html.
MainActivity, and SecondActivity are the same
Code looks as follow:
if (url.endsWith(".html")) {
            try {
                view.getContext().startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url)));
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // error
            }

            return true;
        }

Of course this opens the content into webbrowser outside the app.
Can you please help me in this?

A: First of all add this to your manifest
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

And add this activity as well
  <activity android:name=".WebViewClientDemoActivity"/>

Now in your mainActivity you create intent like this
startActivity(new Intent(this, WebViewClientDemoActivity.class));

Now create this class
 public class WebViewClientDemoActivity extends Activity {

WebView web;
@Override @SuppressLint("SetJavaScriptEnabled")
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    web =  findViewById(R.id.web_view);
    web.setWebViewClient(new myWebClient());
    web.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

    //for example i used this web page
    web.loadUrl("https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69032318/java-android-open-secondactivity-when-url-endswith-html-webview");
}

public static class myWebClient extends WebViewClient{
    @Override
    public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon){
        super.onPageStarted(view, url, favicon);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url){
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return true;
    }
}

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event){
    if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) && web.canGoBack()){
        web.goBack();
        return true;
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
}

By the way there is a probelm using the emulator with webview you can use your phone or you can see this solution
