Pogba still in Man Utd contract talks and looking forward to new season – Solskjaer
SoccerNews in General Soccer News 24 Jul 2021
Paul Pogba remains in talks with Manchester United over a new contract and is looking forward to the coming campaign getting under way, according to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The France international's future has once again been called into question amid reports he has reached a stalemate in discussions over a deal to stay at Old Trafford.
Pogba is due to become a free agent in a little under a year's time and is now rumoured to be a €50million (£43m) target for Paris Saint-Germain.
However, Solskjaer remains confident the 28-year-old – who has spent five seasons with United in his second spell with the club – will remain in place beyond this window.
"Talks are ongoing between Paul's representative and the club representatives," Solskjaer said. "All the dialogue I've had with Paul is that he's looking forward to the season.
"There's always speculation about Paul, the talks between Paul and his representatives. I'm not in the detail of every single one. I've got nothing to say about that really.
"Paul knows what we feel about it and I've enjoyed my time working with him and hopefully we can continue working together."
Good exercise, better experience.#MUFC #MUAcademy pic.twitter.com/AI7PGfn8wx
— Manchester United (@ManUtd) July 24, 2021
Pogba has yet to link up with United for pre-season training, having being given an extended break after playing four times for France at Euro 2020.
The ex-Juventus midfielder scored one goal and assisted another for France at the tournament, while his eight chances created were second only to Antoine Griezmann (10) among Les Bleus players.
Speaking after United's 4-2 friendly defeat to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday, Solskjaer suggested Pogba could link up with his United team-mates in the next couple of days.
"Many will join in training on Monday so they've got a few weeks to catch up," he told MUTV of United's players involved at the Euros and Copa America.
"That's unfortunately the way it is; every year where there is a tournament, we have to catch up. Hopefully, they've done the work we've told them to do when they're away."
New signing Jadon Sancho and fellow England internationals Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire, who reached the Euro 2020 final, along with Copa America finalist Fred will "return in about 10 days' time", however.
Solskjaer had already confirmed ahead of United's defeat at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium that full-back Alex Telles will miss "a few weeks" with an ankle injury sustained in training.
United's next pre-season friendly is against Brentford at Old Trafford on Wednesday, followed by games with Preston North End and Everton before their Premier League opener at home to Leeds United on August 14.
Prediction: PSG vs Reims

Il Barbacarlo è un vino rosso prodotto esclusivamente sulle colline nei pressi di Broni, nell'Oltrepò Pavese, da Lino Maga e suo figlio. L'esclusività della produzione è data dal fatto che viene prodotto solamente dall'azienda agricola del commendator Maga, nella misura di circa 10 000 bottiglie l'anno e dal fatto che il marchio Barbacarlo è stato registrato.

Descrizione
Il vino è composto al 50% da Croatina, al 30% da Uva rara e al 20% da Ughetta.

Ha conquistato numerosi premi e riconoscimenti da parte della critica enologica italiana, dalla guida del Gambero Rosso a quella dell'Espresso. È noto per essere stato il vino preferito dello scrittore e giornalista pavese Gianni Brera, che lo citò in numerosi suoi articoli.

Thread: Ls obs ac signal??
Ok so this SLIGHTLY has to do with my other thread about the trans cooler upgrade but its more of a "just wondering" kinda thing.
Ok so I think I know the answer to my question but i wanted to get your guys opinions.
Ok so here is a random question. Not sure if anybody would even know about this but I figured if anyone, Allen would have some kind of input on the subject.
oh haha. for sure man. i appreciate it!!
yes i did. I posted a thread about it somewhere I believe... Ill try and find it.
pink is usually hot power. havnt checked diagrams but i think the pinks are going to a always hot fuse. pcm controls the ground to make the circut.
On second thought. maybe you do need to torque that thing down since you have a 4L8000 trans.... that thing must be one insane transmission!


When you decide to sell your property, the residential valuation aims to optimize the best elements of your home in order to sell it quickly at the highest price. It also involves becoming aware of the value of the property and targeting the potential buyer. It's not just about decoration, but about a marketing tool. Our plan is to eliminate all the reasons why a potential buyer would not make an offer to buy on your property!
We are developing a plan to renew, repair, refresh, retouch and tidy up what is lying around. The work can range from the application of a coat of paint to the laying of a more modern floor. They aim to meet the needs of potential buyers and appeal to a wide audience. Our expertise allows us to identify the renovations to be made that will have the greatest impact and give you the best return on investment.
As each house is unique, we work according to the specific needs of the location and the seller's budget. The development of a property can be very simple or a little more sophisticated, but for sure, it is your home that will come out winner!
The amount invested in your property during home staging will be returned to you because you increase its market value!
Here are some good reasons to have home staging done before marketing your property!
Properties are usually sold faster and at a better price.


I've posted an unreleased vintage promo film from a record company before, but this one is purely dedicated to the process of how a vinyl record is made (no Dean Martin cameos here, kids), and told in a detailed way. It was made by RCA back in 1956, and it makes me want to find a pressing plant to visit.
Are there any in Ontario? I really should do that.

DOS Asks For Public Comment On Review Of Its Existing Regulations
DOS Asks For Public Comment On Review Of Its Existing Regulations Note: NAFSA submitted comments on this notice on March 31, 2011.
[Federal Register: March 15, 2011 (Volume 76, Number 50)]
[Proposed Rules]
[Page 13931-13932]
From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov]
[DOCID:fr15mr11-15]
22 CFR Chapter I
28 CFR Chapter XI
[Public Notice: 7351]
Department of State Retrospective Review under E.O. 13563
AGENCY: Department of State.
ACTION: Request for information and comment.
SUMMARY: As part of its implementation of Executive Order 13563, "Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review,'' issued by the President on January 18, 2011, the Department of State (DOS) is seeking comments and information from interested parties to assist DOS in reviewing its existing regulations to determine if any of them should be modified or repealed. The purpose of this review is to make DOS's regulatory program more effective and less burdensome in achieving its regulatory objectives.
DATES: Written comments and information are requested on or before March 31, 2011.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are encouraged to submit comments, identified by "Regulatory Review,'' by any of the following methods:
Docket: For access to the docket to read background documents or comments received, go to the Federal e-Rulemaking Portal at http:// www.regulations.gov and search on docket number DOS-2011-0047.
Mail: U.S. Department of State, A/GIS/DIR, SA-22, Washington, DC 20522-2201.
E-Mail: [email protected] Include "Regulatory Review'' in the subject line of the message.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thelma Furlong, 202-216-9600.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 18, 2011, the President issued Executive Order 13563, "Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review,'' to ensure that Federal regulations seek more affordable, less intrusive means to achieve policy goals, and that agencies give careful consideration to the benefits and costs of those regulations. The Executive Order can be found at: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011- 01-21/pdf/2011-1385.pdf.
To implement the Executive Order, the Department is taking two immediate steps to launch its retrospective review of existing regulatory and reporting requirements. First, the Department issues this Request for Information (RFI) seeking public comment on how best to
Page 13932
review its existing regulations and to identify whether any of its existing regulations should be modified or repealed. Second, the Department has created a link on the DOS Internet site to an e-mail in- box at [email protected], which interested parties can use to identify to DOS--on a continuing basis--regulations that may be in need of review in the future. These steps will help the Department ensure that its regulations remain necessary, properly tailored, and have up- to-date requirements that effectively achieve regulatory objectives without imposing unwarranted costs.
Pursuant to the Executive Order, the Department is developing a preliminary plan for the periodic review of its existing regulations and reporting obligations. The Department's goal is to create a systematic method for identifying those significant rules that are obsolete or simply no longer make sense. While this review will focus on the elimination of rules that are no longer warranted, DOS will also consider strengthening, complementing, or modernizing rules where necessary or appropriate--including, as relevant, undertaking new rulemakings.
Consistent with the Department's commitment to public participation in the rulemaking process, the Department is beginning this process by soliciting views from the public on how best to conduct its analysis of existing DOS rules and how best to identify those rules that might be modified or repealed. It is also seeking views from the public on specific rules or Department-imposed obligations that should be altered or eliminated. In short, engaging the public in an open, transparent process is a crucial first step in DOS's review of its existing regulations.
List of Questions for Commenters
The following list of questions is intended solely to assist in the formulation of comments and is not intended to be exhaustive or restrict the issues that the public might want to address. The Department requests that anyone submitting comments specify the regulation or reporting requirement at issue, providing legal citation when known, and the reasons why the regulation or reporting requirement should be modified or repealed.
(1) How can the Department best promote meaningful periodic reviews of its existing rules and how can it best identify those rules that might be modified or repealed?
(2) What factors should the agency consider in selecting and prioritizing rules and reporting requirements for review?
(3) Are there regulations that simply make no sense or have become unnecessary, ineffective, or ill advised and, if so, what are they?
(4) Are there rules that are still necessary, but have not operated as well as expected such that a stronger or different approach is justified?
(5) Does the Department currently collect information that it does not need or use effectively to achieve regulatory objectives?
(6) Are there regulations, reporting requirements, or regulatory processes that are unnecessarily complicated or could be streamlined to achieve regulatory objectives in more efficient ways?
(7) Can new technologies be leveraged to modify or do away with existing regulatory or reporting requirements?
(8) How can the Department best obtain and consider accurate, objective information and data about the costs, burdens, and benefits of existing regulations? Are there existing sources of data the Department can use to evaluate the post-promulgation effects of regulations over time?
(9) Are there regulations that are working well that can be expanded or used as a model to fill gaps in other DOS regulatory programs?
(10) Are there other concerns that DOS should consider consistent with Executive Order 13563?
The Department notes that this RFI is issued solely for information and program-planning purposes. While responses to this RFI do not bind DOS to any further actions related to the response, all submissions will be made publicly available on http://www.regulations.gov.
Dated: March 3, 2011.
Patrick F. Kennedy,
Under Secretary, Office of the Undersecretary for Management, Department of State.

The Bible never teaches that Jesus came to the ancient Americas. This is a Mormon teaching. Latter-day Saints, or Mormons, teach that, after resurrection of Jesus, He came to the Americas to preach the gospel to the ancient inhabitants. Mormons also teach that Jesus was married, had children, and after His resurrection received the fullness of Godhood. But none of these teachings are Biblical.
The Book of Mormon teaches also that the Nephites were the ancient inhabitants in the Americas who came from the Jewish prophet Nephi, son of Lehi. The Nephites separated from the Lamanites (2 Nephi 5:5–17) and were saved because of the prayers of the righteous (Alma 62:40).
Mormons claim that Jesus ministered among the Nephites (3 Nephi 11:1—28:12). They claim that this group was converted at first but with time they became wicked (4 Nephi 1:43). Their violence was so great (Mormon 2:8) that the prophet Mormon refused to guide them (Mormon 3:9–11).
There is no evidence whatsoever, outside the Book of Mormon itself, that Nephites ever existed, that they were Hebrews, or that they came from Jerusalem to South America circa 600 BC (1 Nephi 18:23–25).
Mormons teach doctrines that are not supported by the Bible. They teach that in order to attain salvation, believers should have faith in Christ, keep the commandments of the Mormon Church (Doctrines of Salvation, vol. 1, p 188; Mormon Doctrine, p. 670), and do good works (2 Nephi 25:23; Alma 11:37; Doctrine and Covenants 58:42–43; 2 Nephi 9:23–24; Alma 34:30–35; Articles of Faith, p.92). Thus, Mormons believe that the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross itself is not enough to bring forgiveness of sins and redemption.
But the Bible states that good works can never earn the way to heaven (Romans 11:6; Ephesians 2:8–9; Titus 3:5) and that faith in Jesus Christ alone is the only way to eternal life (John 10:9; 11:25; 14:6; Acts 4:12). Salvation by grace is contrary to salvation by human efforts (Romans 11:6). Good works will definitely follow conversion but they are the natural result of the Holy Spirit working in the heart (Galatians 5:22).
Further, those who follow the Mormon faith believe that Mormons can attain the status of gods in the afterlife through their works here on earth (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 345–354). However, the Bible teaches that no man can ever become like God (1 Samuel 2:2; Isaiah 43:10–11; 44:6; 45:21–22). In fact, this was Satan's first lie to Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden (Genesis 3:5) which led to the fall of the human race.

Robert Michael Kilroy-Silk (born Robert Michael Silk; 19 May 1942) is an English former politician and broadcaster. After a decade as a university lecturer, he served as a Labour Party Member of Parliament (MP) from 1974 to 1986. He left the House of Commons in 1986 in order to present a new daytime talk show, Kilroy, which ran until 2004. He returned to politics, serving as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from 2004 to 2009. He had a profound role in the mainstreaming of Eurosceptic politics in the UK and has been dubbed 'The Godfather of Brexit'.

Early life
Kilroy-Silk was born in Birmingham, to the son of William Silk, a Royal Navy leading stoker, and his wife Minnie Rose (née Rooke). William Silk was a RN stoker lost at sea when aged 22, serving on , which was torpedoed and sunk off the coast of Brittany by German torpedo-destroyers on 23 October 1943. His son was 17 months old.

Robert's mother Rose remarried in 1946, to family friend John Francis Kilroy, a car worker at the Rootes plant in Warwickshire. He adopted the young boy and gave him the first part of his surname; Robert became known as Kilroy-Silk.

Kilroy-Silk failed his eleven-plus in 1953. He spent his first year at a secondary modern school and later passed the review exam and went to Saltley Grammar School, Saltley, Birmingham. He attended the London School of Economics to study politics and economics.

Marriage and early career
In 1963, Kilroy-Silk married Jan Beech, daughter of a shop steward. They have a son Dominic (b QI 1967) and a daughter Natasha (b. QI 1969). Kilroy Silk moved to Warleigh House in Plymouth in 2015 with his wife.

After graduation he became a lecturer in politics at the University of Liverpool, serving from 1966 to 1974. He published a theoretical work, Socialism since Marx, in 1972.

Political career

Labour MP
At the February 1974 general election, Kilroy-Silk was elected as a Labour MP for the Ormskirk constituency in Lancashire.  He remained its MP until its abolition at the 1983 general election, when he was elected to represent the new Knowsley North seat; he held this until his resignation from the House of Commons in 1986. In an article for The Times in 1975, Kilroy-Silk argued that politics was not "compromises and bargains" or hankering after "a spurious consensus". He wrote that the function of government, particularly a Labour government, was
"to impose its values on society. Its role is creative: to cast, so far as it is able, society in its image". Furthermore, socialists should not be worried about being accused of dictatorial powers; they must go forward with "a tint of arrogance".The next year he was quoted as saying, "the Labour Party must always be a class party, for it is a class war we are fighting".

Kilroy-Silk was appointed Shadow Home Affairs spokesman, resigning in 1985. In resigning his seat, he said that he had been assaulted by members of the Militant group and was reported to have had a scuffle with left-wing Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn. He wrote a book about his experiences, entitled Hard Labour, and subsequently left the Labour Party.

Eurosceptic politics

Joining UKIP
In 2004, Kilroy-Silk was recruited to the UK Independence Party (UKIP). During that year's European Parliament election campaign he presented one of the party political broadcasts. His recruitment and celebrity significantly raised the profile of the party, further helped by his enlisting of actress Joan Collins who attended a UKIP press conference at Kilroy-Silk's invitation.

Election to the European Parliament
Kilroy-Silk stood on the UKIP list for the East Midlands constituency and was elected as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) in the second seat for his region.The election used a closed list form of proportional representation; UKIP scored 26.05 per cent of the vote in that region, just behind the Conservatives with 26.39 per cent.

UKIP leadership
In the 2004 Hartlepool by-election, UKIP came third, ahead of the Conservative Party. The next day, in an interview on Breakfast with Frost (BBC), Kilroy-Silk expressed ambition to lead UKIP and criticised the party's leader Roger Knapman.

Following this, businessman and friend Paul Sykes announced his intention to cease his partial funding of UKIP and to return his support to the Conservatives, as he feared that the Euro-sceptic vote might be split. The branch chairmen of UKIP were canvassed on their opinion regarding Kilroy-Silk's challenge for the party leadership. Only a minority (13%) were sympathetic to him; Kilroy-Silk did not think this was significant, as he believed that too few party members had been consulted. Party officials threatened him with disciplinary action if he continued his challenge.

On 27 October 2004, Kilroy-Silk officially announced that he had withdrawn from the UKIP whip in the European Parliament, branding the party "incompetent". But, he said that he would remain as an independent member of UKIP, and would continue to challenge for the leadership.

UKIP's constitution states that 70 days' notice is required before a leadership ballot can take place. With the next general election in the UK expected in spring 2005, Kilroy-Silk pushed for an emergency general meeting of the party as early as possible. On 3 November 2004, Kilroy-Silk said he intended to be leader by Christmas, though this would have been impossible under the rules.

In Manchester on 3 December 2004 at about 7.15 p.m., Kilroy-Silk was attacked outside the Girls' High School, when a bucket of manure was thrown over him as he arrived for a recording of the BBC Radio 4's Any Questions.

On 20 January 2005, Kilroy-Silk announced that he had left UKIP; he had been a member for nine months.

Veritas
On 30 January 2005 Kilroy-Silk launched a new political party Veritas, promising to take the fight to the "supercilious metropolitan elite". Damian Hockney, UKIP's leader in the London Assembly, had defected to Veritas, becoming its first Deputy Leader.

UKIP members and some journalists dubbed Kilroy-Silk's new party "Vanitas", meaning a party acting as a vehicle for its founder's vanity.

The party was formally launched on 2 February 2005 at Hinckley Golf Club in Hinckley, Leicestershire. In the 2005 general election, Kilroy-Silk contested the seat of Erewash, but came in fourth with 5.8%, just above the 5% level needed to save his deposit. He tried to press charges against a man who, he said, "smashed a bottle of water against the side of his head" while the politician was being interviewed by a European television crew outside a supermarket. The alleged assailant said he had squirted Kilroy-Silk with water from a plastic bottle before running away; this account was confirmed by the TV crew, which also filmed the incident. The police decided not to prosecute.

On 12 July 2005, party member Ken Wharton announced his intention to challenge Kilroy-Silk for the leadership, claiming party members were "not being looked after". Discontented party members set up the Veritas Members' Association to "put the truth back into Veritas".

On 29 July 2005, Veritas announced the resignation of Kilroy-Silk as party leader. In his resignation statement, he said:
"It was clear from the general election result – and more recently that of the Cheadle by-election – that the electors are content with the old parties and that it would be virtually impossible for a new party to make a significant impact given the nature of our electoral system. We tried and failed."

In August 2005, four of the MEPs for the East Midlands region (Clark, Heaton-Harris, Helmer and Whitehead) sent a joint letter to President of the European Parliament Josep Borrell complaining about Kilroy-Silk:
"He seems to have done little or no work as a constituency MEP for the East Midlands. This leaves five MEPs to do the work of six and the electorate have been short-changed". They went on to complain that Kilroy-Silk was not "fulfilling the pledge he made on becoming an MEP, to serve the electorate of his region" and to call for him to "either do the job for which he is paid, or get out and leave it to those who can."The European Parliament does not have any power to expel a member, and Borrell took no action.

Political affiliation while an MEP
Kilroy-Silk, who was elected to the European Parliament on the UKIP list, remained a member of the Veritas Party, but sat as an Independent MEP. Some Veritas members were reported questioning why he was allowed to continue as a party member.

Kilroy-Silk's name was absent from the list of candidates published on 7 May 2009 for the 2009 European Parliament election. His membership was terminated when the European Parliament reconvened on 17 July 2009.

Journalism

Ireland
In 1992, Kilroy made a comment regarding Ireland in his Daily Express column, under the guise of attacking Ray MacSharry, a former Irish government minister and EU commissioner, whom he described as "a redundant second-rate politician from a country peopled by priests, peasants and pixies". This was condemned by the then Irish ambassador to the UK, Joseph Small, for its "gratuitously offensive and indeed racist remarks". The newspaper's editor, Sir Nicholas Lloyd, apologised to MacSharry and the Irish people in general, while Kilroy added: "I accept that my references to Mr MacSharry and the Irish people were both offensive and unjustified, and I fully associate myself with this apology."

Arabs
The BBC cancelled the Kilroy show in January 2004 after an opinion article, entitled "We owe Arabs nothing", by Kilroy-Silk was published in the Sunday Express on 4 January 2004. The article had first been published in April 2003 by the same paper and 'republished in error' according to Kilroy-Silk. It did not attract much national attention when first published. According to Faisal Bodi, a columnist for The Guardian, the reaction at its second publication was a measure of "the increasing organisation of the Muslim community". Bodi added:

The article was strongly criticised by the Commission for Racial Equality, whose head, Trevor Phillips, said that the affair could have a "hugely unhelpful" effect. Bodi wrote that Kilroy-Silk should be prosecuted for incitement to racial hatred. He said that Kilroy-Silk had also written statements critical of Muslims in 1989, during the Salman Rushdie affair, and in a 1995 article in the Daily Express.

By contrast, Ibrahim Nawar, the head of Arab Press Freedom Watch, came out in support of Kilroy-Silk in a Daily Telegraph article. He said the politician was "an advocate of freedom of expression" and that he agreed with much of what Kilroy-Silk had said about Arab regimes.

A spokeswoman for Kilroy-Silk told The Observer, "He is not a racist at all – he employs a black driver", a quote which is sometimes incorrectly attributed to Kilroy-Silk.

Media

Kilroy
His talk show Kilroy started on 24 November 1986 as Day To Day; it ran until 2004. It was cancelled by the BBC in reaction to the publication of an article by Kilroy-Silk entitled "We owe Arabs nothing" which was published in the Sunday Express on 4 January 2004. This provoked considerable controversy.

Shafted
In 2001, Kilroy-Silk hosted a television programme on ITV1 called Shafted. It was a quiz-show and at the end of the show, Kilroy-Silk would ask players whether they wished to "share" or to "shaft", with accompanying hand gestures.

The show was cancelled after four episodes. The Penguin TV Companion (2006) ranked it as the worst British television show of the 2000s.

Have I Got News for You
Kilroy-Silk appeared as a guest on Have I Got News for You on 30 April 2004. There was a heated exchange between him and his teammate Paul Merton.

Other television appearances
On 31 January 2005, a television programme, Kilroy: Behind the Tan, was broadcast on the BBC. Created in documentary style, it followed the politician from his election as an MEP for UKIP to his leaving the party.

In early February 2005, Kilroy-Silk worked on a Channel 4 television programme called Kilroy and the Gypsies. He spent a week living with a family of Romany Gypsies at a campsite in Bedfordshire to explore their lives. He also interviewed residents of surrounding villages.

In other appearances, he was the first contestant to be voted out of the 2008 edition of I'm a Celebrity....Get Me Out of Here!. On 7 November 2009, he appeared as a panellist on the BBC's Question Time programme.

In November 2008, Kilroy-Silk was criticised by Derek Clark MEP. He complained that Kilroy-Silk was taking his parliamentary wage while being paid to appear in the reality TV show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!. He thought the TV show represented a conflict of interest.

This weekend's English Premier League round of fixtures offers some exciting encounters an promise the prospect of an unpredictable results once again. We take a look at the fixtures and select four key matches to include in this weekend's preview. Let's find out "Who Carries the Day".
Jose Mourinho is gone; "YES he is gone!" and Chelsea go into this game just with just one point clear of the relegation zone. The Blues are at the risk of dropping into relegation zone if they lose this game against Sunderland. At the same time, the Black Cats, who were not finding any rhythm from the start of the season have improved in recent matches recording wins over Crystal Palace and Stoke City before losing the last two consecutive games.
Chelsea have an upper hand over Sunderland in terms of head-to-head record in the last six meetings after the Blues have won three times, draw one and lost two to Sunderland. They have a good chance to bounce back to the winning ways if their star players put on an improved performance than the last outing. The pressure is high on Chelsea, but there is minimal pressure on Sunderland. Eventhough, coming on the back of consecutive defeats, they are in a very good chance to mount an upset here.

From Wonder Workshop Dash to VEX Robotics competitions to laser cutters, students at BRES and BRHS get a cutting edge STEM treatment from the earliest age to the cap and gown.
An after school club for coding and robots is helping students from kindergarten to sixth grade explore the basics of programming robots for voice command navigation. Technology integrators Abby Manahan and Zach Gray lead activities which are broken into units starting with the most basic programming working up to more advanced activities including obstacle courses.
Moving over to the robotics class at the high school, teacher Chris Liberti has 15 students working on competition robots which navigate an obstacle course completing various tasks for points. The robots are usually unique designs built from scratch and which must fit specific dimensions to qualify for competition.
Each team plays six to eight qualifying matches with a randomly selected partner team. This could mean a team from BRHS is partnered with another or with a team from a different school – it also means two teams from one school may compete against one another. Highest ranking teams become captains and pick teammates for elimination rounds. Matches are two minutes long with the first 15 seconds solely for autonomous programming and the remaining 1:45 driver controlled based.
Three student teams competed at Foxcroft Academy in mid-December facing 20 other teams from five schools. A big learning opportunity for BRHS students to work through breakdowns and other technical issues, the first competition paved a way for students to dig into solutions before their second competition in Yarmouth on Jan. 19, Liberti said.
"The teams that attended both performed much better at this tournament, finishing the qualifying rounds with our best team ranked 17th," said Liberti. "Two of the teams have competed together this year, and two were new to competing. The improvement is notable as other teams continue to improve throughout the season as well."
BRHS teams improved steadily throughout the qualifying matches in Yarmouth, said Liberti. They learned to rebuild components on the fly and took advantage of downtime by networking with other teams on strategy and programming. The highest seeded team consisted of Will LaBrecque, Bayly Carrasco and Gerald Gagne – fathers of robot, "Mo Bamba."
"They had one of the highest scoring autonomous routines at the tournament, consistently scoring 3 points by firing a ball at one target, while driving their robot into another lower target," said Liberti.
Mo Bamba continued its streak into the driver controlled portion of the second elimination round, but was damaged by a legal strike from another robot – his brain froze leaving him motionless for the rest of the round.
While disappointing, there was little LaBrecque, Carrasco and Gagne could have done to mend Mo Bamba's temporary catatonia. However, Reagan Cola, Olivia Paolillo and Nicholas Morley were quickly catching up with their robot, "Z-score," which managed to also hit high points autonomously. Z-score, though eliminated in the first round of playoffs, was an impressive performance due to the efforts of all its creators, said Liberti.
Three teams will compete at Monmouth Academy on Saturday, Feb. 9. Students expect to face 29 teams from nine other schools.
In the BRHS workshop now sits a brand new Jamieson LG-900 laser cutter the school got through a large anonymous donation.
"This is a really big deal for the school," said engineering class teacher Ben Powell. "Laser cutters are an amazing piece of technology that can cut and engrave a wide variety of materials with incredible precision, and they are used in many industries including manufacturing, architecture, furniture, clothing, advertising, packaging, plastic processing, and many more. We are very excited to begin teaching our students how to use this cutting edge piece of equipment."
The third year Powell has offered his engineering class, students are now putting their computer assisted design (CAD) programming to use with the new laser. The first set of projects are creating scaled buildings of original design, said Powell. Similar to using 3D printers, students use a computer assisted design (CAD) program which communicates with the laser cutter to create precise cutouts or engravings. Next year, Powell wants to create a CAD prototyping class which would help students better understand the programming behind working with machinery like this.
"Last year's engineering class built the computer we're using with the laser cutter," said Powell. "I've been wanting to find a use for it and then this kind of fell into our lap and we're like, 'Perfect! We've got a computer ready to go!'"
The laser cutter boasts a 100 watt laser, correct to 6/1000 of a centimeter, over a vacuum table workspace of two feet by three feet. The laser can cut through most woods and plastics up to about half an inch and can etch into most materials including woods, metals and plastics.
With the machine located in the shop area, teacher Chip Schwehm said one of the goals for the STEM programs is to "keep the high tech stuff going."
"A lot of schools are marrying modern technology like this, having it all in one area … If this works well, we're hoping to get a CNC router eventually," said Schwehm.
Just a day into having the machine, it is evident the possibilities have become limitless -- Powell said one thing he and his students would like to do is update all the teacher and staff wall plaques outside classrooms and offices. Welch forwarded the school logo which the class will program, and staff and student ideas of various promotional and fundraising materials continue to pop up.
Said Powell, "We have some really cool stuff already, but I think we're only scratching the surface."


Most all of us are aware that each individual has an IQ (intelligence quotient.) We see online tests that purport to provide a reliable IQ score to the individual taking the test. We measure brilliance in terms of IQ. Anyone with an IQ over 140 can join Mensa, a society for those that are intellectually gifted. According to the Mensa website, "Activities include the exchange of ideas through lectures, discussions, journals, special-interest groups, and local, regional, national and international gatherings..."
Did you know that in addition to an IQ each individual has an EQ (emotional quotient), also referred to as "emotional intelligence?" EQ is the capability of an individual to recognize their own emotions and the emotions of others, to be able to differentiate various emotions while labeling them appropriately, and using emotional information in assist in decision making relative to the individual's needs and the needs of others, as well as the capacity for adaptive thinking and reasoning.
Although a high IQ is largely a genetic event, environment also plays an important role. It has been said that "nature loads the gun; nurture pulls the trigger," meaning that we are born with certain capabilities that can be diminished or enhanced predicated upon the world in which we grow and learn. Children, for example, who are constantly exposed to enriched stimuli, including colors, shapes, words, and music, move forward in their cognitive capabilities with more alacrity than a child of similar genetic predisposition lacking this enhanced learning environment. Every parent should know that the single most important thing they can do to promote academic success in their children is to read to them. Read. Read. Read!
If reading to children helps advance their academic achievement, and even perhaps their IQ, is there any sort of similar correlation between reading and a person's EQ? I have pondered this question from time to time and was delighted when I came upon a study that offers us some interesting insights.
Led by University of Rochester psychologist David Dodell-Feder, a new meta-analysis of 14 previous studies relating to the notion of reading and emotional intelligence has concluded that there is a statistical correlation between reading fiction and the ability to empathize with others. Compared to reading non-fiction or not reading at all, reading fiction does produce "a small, but statistically significant improvement in social-cognitive performance."
It's good to have some scientific back-up for the relationship between reading fiction and empathy, but it really isn't all that surprising. Literary fiction is predicated upon characters with a full range of prismatic emotions. As readers we begin to relate to these characters. We feel their sense of loss, excitement, betrayal, joy... If you didn't cry when Old Yeller died, then perhaps you truly have no heart!
Furthermore, according to researchers, fiction can serve as a kind of simulator — something akin to a flight simulator which trains us to avoid crashing — only in this instance it's not about not crashing as a pilot but rather as a human being. Literary fiction is replete with cautionary tales that can help us relate to real world circumstances.
I've spent large portions of my life reading non-fiction, and certainly there is place for both technical reading and other sorts of non-fiction such as histories and biographies, but I would assert that we relate more closely to the humanness of the story when it comes alive in the form of a character.
For example, I learned and "experienced" more about the settlement of the South Platte River Valley by reading James Michener's "Centennial" than I ever did reading textbooks about the subject. Michener took actual events and then created multi-dimensional characters that brought to life the story of westward expansion and the human drama which that involved.
If reading literary fiction enhances empathy, it is highly likely that people who only read works of non-fiction may struggle with empathy. They get the facts, but they miss the "color" — the texture, the humanness that helps us connect with one another.
Cold hard statistics are merely people without the tear stains, yet it is in those tear stains that we relate with one another; that we embrace the essential humanity of those with whom we journey in this bigger thing called life. So here's a shout-out to great fiction; long may you thrive!

The Chinese electric three-wheeler market is predicted to grow at 10.1% CAGR during the forecast period, in terms of its fleet size. The Chinese market is primarily driven by increasing demand for electric rickshaws in metropolitan cities, government support and initiatives, and the presence of major electric three-wheelers manufacturers in the country.
Based on product, the market is categorized into passenger vehicles and load carriers. Passenger vehicles hold the larger share in the market due to the increasing demand for the sustainable transport system in metropolitan cities in the country.
On the basis of motor power, the market is segmented into1,500 W. Of all, 1,000-1,500 W powered three-wheelers hold the largest share in the Chinese market. The highest share of the 1,000-1,500 W powered three-wheelers in the market is due to the optimum performance and cost of the vehicle at this power.
The increasing demand for electric rickshaws in metropolitan cities, government support and initiatives and the presence of major electric three-wheelers manufacturers in the country are the key factors fueling the demand for the electric-three wheelers market in China.
In China, a large population is depended on public transport for their daily commute. Auto rickshaws are the major mode of transport in the major urban cities of the country. Auto rickshaw provides a cheaper and faster intracity transport in these countries; therefore, large population depends on it for the transport. Although with the lower performance compared to the conventional auto rickshaws, electric three-wheelers are still being preferred for their low maintenance rate. Moreover, supported by government policies and subsidies manufacturers are able to provide these electric three-wheelers at competitive pricing, which further increases their adoption of these vehicles in the country.
During recent years, China has built up an advanced infrastructure for the development of electric vehicles. Moreover, the supportive government regulations provide an opportunity to the manufacturers for the research and development of these vehicles. Increasing support from the policymakers, full-scale research centres, and large manufacturing units are catering to the demand for electric three-wheelers within the country. Moreover, rapid urbanization and increase in disposable incomes are creating traction for the replacement of conventional vehicles by electric vehicles, thus, fueling the growth of the Chinese light electric vehicle market.
However, uncertain on road regulations of electric three-wheelers in China is anticipated to hinder the growth of the market to some extent.
Jiangsu Kingbon Vehicle Co. Ltd., Changzhou Yufeng Vehicle Co. Ltd., Xianghe Qiangsheng Electric Tricycle Factory, and Jiangsu East YonslandVehicle Manufacturing Co. are some of the key players operating in the Chinese electric three-wheelers market.

A SURVEY OF PROBLEM AFFECTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SOCIAL STUDIES CURRICULUM IN SOME SELECTED JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL IN ALIMOSHO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF LAGOS STATE.
This study critically analyzes and appraises the problems and prospects of cooperative societies Nigeria, using as a case study. This study is surveyed to determine the government encourages cooperative societies and also to know if cooperative societies create jobs for the citizens. It is also examined to know if cooperative societies emphasize the welfare of members. Primary and secondary sources of data collection were used in the study in which 200 questionnaires were randomly distributed among the staffs but only one hundred and eighty- eight (188) were duly returned. Simple percentage and chi-square method were used to analyze the data and testing of the hypothesis. The findings in this study reveals some prospects of cooperative which include facilitation of quick transfer of technical knowledge to group of farmers and also nurturing small groups with little financial means to a larger group among others. The study concludes that the problems hinder the society from achieving its prospects such as providing a pool fund from which members take loans and it recommends that government should make its assistance regular and adequate to support the cooperatives and also members should be motivated by ensuring that the objectives of the society is achieved.
Co-operation as a form of individual and societal behavior is Intrinsic to human organization, but the history of modern co-operative societies forms of business organization, dates back to the Agricultural and revolution Industrial of the 18th and 19th centuries.
In 1761 The Fenwick Weaver' Society was formed in Fenwick, East Ayrshire, and Scotland to sell discounted oatmeal to local workers. Its services expended to include assistance with savings and loans, emigration and education. In 1810, welsh social reformer Robert Owen, form Newtown. in mid- Wales, and his partners purchased new Lanark mill from Owens's father-in-law and preceded to introduce better labour standards including discounted retail hops where profits were passed on to his employees, Omen left New Lanark to pursue other forms of co-operative organization and develop co-operative ideas through writing and lecture. Cooperative was set up in Glasgow, Indiana and Hampshire, although ultimately unsuccessful. In 1828 William king set up a newspaper, "the cooperator", to promote Owens's thinking, having already set up a co-operative store in Brighton.
Other events such as the founding of a friendly society by the Tolpuddle martyrs in 1832 were key occasion in the creation of organized labour and consumer movements. From the report of the workshop held on 10th - 11th November 2008 during the 8 the ICA Africa regional assembly at the international conference centre, Abuja.

He added that following agitation by the Agege Cocoa planters Union in 1907, the study for establishment of formal co-operation was commissioned in 1934. This was following by the enactment of co-operative legislation in 1935. The early move was in agriculture, and latter shifted to marketing following the shift in the Nigeria economy from agriculture to crude oil. He gave the scope of co-operative activities in Nigeria covering. On population, he said there are about 50 million family member covering 20 million house holds.

There were a lot of constraints as to getting information and material for the job. The researcher made series of consultation to acquire the needed information. Most materials used were very difficult to get.
Time constraints: Combining academic work With research is on doubt a thought provoking issue, as it has to do with time. Actually, a lot of time was exhausted to obtain valuable information for the project.
Problem: The 6th Edition of the oxford Advance learner's dictionary (2000) defined a problem as a thing that is difficult to deal with or to understand.
Cooperative: In the 1993 edition of chambers dictionary, cooperative is defined as "an organization in which there 'is collective ownership or control of the means of production and distribution".
The relationship governing member is dual in nature, equality in social relations and equity in economic relations.
Cooperative can also be viewed from the legal stance. Helms (1968) defined cooperative as a registered voluntary association of persons with a common interest formed and operated along democratic principles for the purpose of economic and social interest at least cost to its members who contributed the capital and manage the business so established by delegating some powers to elected management".
Society: These are group of people who share common ideas, norms, values and culture together towards achieving a set objective.


...and we're off! I finished my first project of the new year this weekend.
It's a simple, quick one but it turned out well (or at least I think it did).
Back in October, you may recall this post where we refreshed our front porch.
Part of the "refresh" included replacing a piece of wood on one of our columns. That piece of wood was chippy and white but of course that doesn't look good on the front of the house but it might look good inside the house...so I kept it...and my husband gave me looks like I had lost my mind.
That little old piece of wood made a nice little sign to go in my kitchen.
Hey Lori at IPOMP, just imagine if it said "Pickle"!
I always think it is funny how we put junky bits on our walls and distress our furnitures so it looks worn and aged, but like our house to have fresh new paint - no chippiness allowed. Your sign looks great and good for you for being so resourceful.
I think its adorable! loving it!
That's quite cute! I am a newish follower, and I am looking forward to seeing your projects this year.
Ooh I like it! I think your pantry kinda-sorta looks like mine: a sign above, chalkboard ON.
It IS cute!! Don't you just love the looks we get from our loved ones?! They are so clueless sometimes! LOL! I was just outside this weekend cleaning up the backyard a bit and there were some old, grungy, broken pieces of cedar fence boards that I threw in the garbage. As I was putting them in there I was thinking... you probably should save at LEAST one of these! I think I'll go dig one out and make a sign too! My boards aren't white, but I have paint!
very nice i just love signs!
I love it...and the oldler I get, the more I need some clever ways to identify what is behind all the doors in my house!
Very cool re-use of that old board. I just love old pieces of wood.
I'm going to have to try some signmaking now!
I just need the pantry to go with it.
Think I can find one of those at a salvage yard?
this is perfectly chippy...love love it. great font choice too!
I am a sign maker-artist and so love seeing the salvaged wood in GOOD use! Come by my little joint and visit! New follower!
ABSOLUTELY adore this sign. Did you use a stencil? I really want to make a sign kind of like this for my kids new play room that says "read" or something like that to put above a large bookcase. Seriously, if totally pays off to save junk and remold it! Again, great job! love it.
Your little sign is soooo adorable! I love it!
Free, unique, memorable, and just plain cute! You can't beat that!
Gorgeous sign. Just love it!
I really love your pantry sign! Great idea. Visiting from Cottage Instincts.
Your sign has a great vintage feel. You'd never guess that it wasn't old. What a great look!
Real cute not just pretty cute!
I;m going for a chic country cottage look for my kitchen this year and I'm totally going to incorporate this idea into the mix. Thanks so much!
Lovin' it! I have a piece of scrap that would work...thanks!
I love it my favorite thing to do is re-use and re-purpose old loved items and one from you house makes it even more special!
i love it!!! my style to a T!! going back to check out your other projects!!
Love that you saw the potential in that piece of wood! Great project!! Thanks for linking up!
Really cute! I love that you re-used the wood. Great job!
It's beautiful! How did you do it? I would love a sign for the outside of the house, but they cost upwards of 30 dollars! It would be so much better to make my own and save a bunch of money.


Red-hot Rob Doran's four goals in 19 minutes was the difference as Prescot Cables extended their unbeaten run to five matches with a 4-2 win over ten-man Harrogate Railway.
The in-form striker squeezed a shot into the net after 21 minutes before heading in left wing crosses in the 23rd and 32nd minute to give The Tigers a commanding lead.
Chris Ovington sneaked one in at the near post to hand Railway a lifeline, but Doran claimed his fourth with five minutes left of the half to make it 4-1 at the interval.
Railway's task was made harder in the 63rd minute when Harry Coates was shown a straight red card, though the ten men pulled together with Dan Barrett's injury time finish giving the visitors reward for their efforts.
Lee Ashforth made two changes from Monday night's heavy defeat to league leaders Warrington Town; replacing Alex Low and Daniel Devine with Lawrance Hunter and Tom Owen.
The contest started at a frantic pace with Owen almost capitalising on a Jonah O'Rielly mistake and Chandler Hallwood collecting Doran's low shot.
Railway had a strong penalty appeal turned down after 16 minutes when Hunter played in Ovington on the left only to be brought down by a Prescot defender, fairly according to the referee.
Andy Paxton's men began to take the ascendancy in the 20th minute when Lloyd Dean saw a stinging shot turned behind by Hallwood who was lucky not to be beaten from the following corner as Phil Bannister fluffed his lines at the far post.
Cables then made their pressure pay when James Edgar rattled the bar from long range, allowing Doran to collect the rebound and drive the ball through bodies into the net.
The striker wasted no time in claiming his 20th goal of the season two minutes later when he confidently headed a left wing cross into the corner.
Owen had a powerful shot blocked just seconds after Railway went two behind, but it was soon three nil as Doran completed his eleven minute hat-trick.
The third was almost a carbon copy of the striker's second as Doran got enough power on his header from another left sided cross to beat Hallwood from close range.
Three minutes later Railway found a response when, after a Railway free kick was pumped into the box, Rob Youhill cleverly found Ovington whose near post shot was fumbled into the side of his own net by Marcus Burgess.
Two minutes after the goal, Hallwood reacted well to keep the score at 3-1, keeping out Edgar's low drive with his feet.
With five minutes until the half time whistle, Hallwood again saved from Edgar, but this time Doran was first to react to the loose ball and volleyed home.
Railway's boss made two changes at the break, replacing Luca Mellor and Charlie Clamp with Alex Low and Will Peers in the hope of getting back into the contest.
The match continued in the same fashion though, as Lloyd Dean found himself with a free header six yards out only to be denied by Hallwood's reaction save.
The afternoon then took another bad turn for Ashforth's men when Coates was shown a straight red card for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity when bringing down the through-on-goal Dean.
Railway reacted positively to going a man down though, as Low smashed the crossbar with a sweetly struck half volley from the edge of the box.
Barrett had been introduced prior to the hour mark and got in behind the Prescot defence soon after, only to poke a finish onto the roof of the net.
The visitors went close again with 20 minutes to play when Ovington got on the end of Hunter's cross only for Burgess to deny the attacker a second goal.
Barrett then managed to put the ball in the back of the net only to look up and see the linesman had raised his flag to rule the goal out for offside.
Ovington continued to threaten the Prescot goal, cutting inside and shooting into Burgess' arms, while Edgar tried a couple of efforts from range but couldn't hit the target.
Deep into second half stoppage time Barrett's efforts were rewarded when the striker ran clean through on goal and coolly rolled the ball to the 'keeper's left.
There was just enough time for Prescot to kick off before the final whistle was blown to extend Cables unbeaten run to five and keep Railway inside the bottom two.

Clark Jones takes over as head coach of New Canaan boys ice hockey
Published 7:00 am EDT, Saturday, August 19, 2017
Clark Jones has been named the new head coach of the New Canaan boys ice hockey team.
Jones is already well-known in New Canaan ice hockey circles. He's the hockey director at the New Canaan Winter Club and the recently-renovated Darien Ice House, and is the founder and head skills coach of the Hockey Skills Academy (HSA). The Academy trains beginner through elite athletes using a "comprehensive development program focused on the mechanics of the foundational skill set, movement patterns, and motor patterns," according to its website.
The Rams welcomed their new leader with a tweet via the NCPuck twitter account: "New Canaan High School hockey is proud to announce Clark Jones of @HSAskills as our new Head Coach."
A New Hampshire native, Jones played hockey at Exeter High School and Deerfield Academy, and was a captain of the Union College team, which plays NCAA Div. I. He also played in the ECHL for the minor league affiliates of the St. Louis Blues and Ottawa Senators.
Jones has been coaching for nearly 20 years with the NCWC and Mid-Fairfield Hockey, and as a skills instructor at the Elite Hockey Camp, BU Hockey Camp, and Phillips Exeter Academy Hockey Camp.
Jones will be replacing Pat Gore, who stepped down as head coach in July.
Gore had been with the program for seven years, the last three as head coach. He coached as an assistant to the legendary Bo Hickey for four years before taking the head coaching reins for the 2014-15 season. Hickey had coached the Rams for 21 seasons.
Gore had his most successful campaign as head coach during this past winter, as New Canaan went 16-6-3 and reached the FCIAC final and the CIAC Div. I semifinals. The trip to Ingalls Rink and the CIAC's final four marked the Rams' first appearance in the state semis since 2011.
The Rams also knocked off rival Darien twice in 2016-17, winning 5-2 and 4-1.

The synthesis, characterization, structure and magnetic properties of a hexametallic mixed-metal iron(III)-cobalt(III) compound are described. The compound has been characterized by standard spectroscopic and analytical methods to determine its composition. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction has shown that the asymmetric unit consists of discrete dinuclear dicationic units of {(µ-oxido-µ-[sulfato–O1,O2])bis[tris(2-pyridyl-methyl)amineiron(III)]}2+, herein designated as Fe12, and two half-dinuclear dianionic units of {(µ-oxido)bis[iron(III)]}2– units, herein designated as Fe33a and Fe44b, generating the overall composition Co2Fe4O2(CN)12(tpa)4, 1 , where tpa is tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine. X-ray structural results and thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry measurements also indicate that the compound, depending upon its history may contain up to nine interstitial waters of hydration, herein designated as 1 (H2O)9. In the dinuclear dicationic unit, the bridging Fe–O–Fe bond in Fe12 is bent and there is also an Fe-O-S-O-Fe sulfato-based bridge with an angle of 132.8°. In contrast, in the two dinuclear dianionic units, Fe33a and Fe44b, the Fe–O–Fe bond angle is crystallographically constrained to be linear. The Co–CN–Fe bonds are almost co-linear, with Co–C–N angles of 176° and C–NFe angles of 169°–. In each species the tpa ligand is tripodal tetradentate with the tertiary amine trans to the sulfato ligand or to the cyanide ligand in the dianions or the bridged oxido ligand in the dications. Bond lengths and angles are all in the typical range for Fe(III) and Co(III) compounds. The magnetic behavior of 1 (H2O)9, obtained upon cooling from 300 to 2 K, reveals a strong antiferromagnetic interaction between the Fe(III) ions in each dinuclear unit. Attempts to discriminate between the two Fe(III) dinuclear units in 1 (H2O)9 have in all cases led to two very different Heisenberg isotropic exchange coupling constants, namely J= –220(2) and –716(32) cm–1 for 1 (H2O)9; i.e.. one of the dinuclear units, probably the Fe12 unit, is so strongly antiferromagnetically coupled that it is close to diamagnetic between 2 and ca. 250 K and has a Heisenberg S = 0 ground state.
