Who Should Be Cast in the A-Force Movie and What It Could Set Up in the MCU
Author: Miranda Miller No Comments Share:
"Don't worry, she's got help."
WARNING:Spoilers about Avengers: Endgame below.
It's with this beautiful line that fans are unofficially introduced to what a potential A-Force movie could look like in the MCU. Some called the scene "fan service", others said the scene was empowering. No matter what side of the scale fans fall on, it's safe to say this is a group of superheroes that could be introduced later on in Phase 4 or the beginning of Phase 5. Here are some things it could bring to the forefront:
The Loss of Black Widow
Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow
As seen in the last Avengers movie, Black Widow tragically but heroically threw herself off a cliff to help her team get the Soul Stone back, not knowing if the result would actually work. When the ladies of Marvel to take on Thanos, it was clear she was missing from the group. However, because she's "The First Lady of Marvel", the rest of the A-Force in Endgame was a direct result of her legacy. Natasha Romanoff paved the way for these other amazing superheroes to save the world. How could this possibly be touched upon in a solo A-Force movie? One option could be all of the ladies are together at the Avengers base (if they decide to rebuild after the events of Endgame) and hold a memorial ceremony for her. Another option could be if there were murals of her throughout the movie, taking inspiration of the homage to Tony Stark in Spider-Man: Far From Home. Whatever happens, she deserves better than just her team mourning and throwing a bench. She deserves deserve to have a proper service with everyone in attendance.
Intro to the MCU
It may have only been one scene with all of the Ladies of Marvel in Avengers: Endgame, but it showed all of them working together to take down Thanos and his army. Each one got a moment to showcase how strong their powers are, not letting silly aliens faze them in the slightest.
What with the A-Force in the comics being a few members smaller, and their foes' armies not as big, they are just as strong and powerful when it comes to taking down foes such as Antimatter and Countess. If both worlds met, the comic members and the MCU members, lead by shared member, Captain Marvel, they would no doubt would unstoppable. By making this team canon, Marvel could open up a world of new possibilities for the next phase in the franchise.
Endgame VS Comics
Phase 4 definitely seemed to pull inspiration from the comics more than previous phases, and with Captain Marvel being the first female-lead film in the MCU, she opened the door for others to join her. Possible members that could most likely to join her from the Avengers: Endgame squad could be: Hope Van Dyne, the Wasp, Valkyrie and Pepper Potts, Rescue. These four would form "The Big Three" essentially, with Carol taking the spot of Steve, Hope and Pepper honoring Tony with their respective smarts, and Valkyrie being newly crowned as the King of Asgard in place of Thor.
Another likely option from the MCU squad would be Nebula. The movies she has been seen in so far have certainly shown she is worthy to join the ranks of an elite team. Shuri would also be a welcome teammate; should could offer Wakandan technology that would only help improve Hope and Pepper's gear for the other. Members like Okoye and Wanda Maximoff, Scarlet Witch, would be just as amazing, but Okoye would never leave her people unless she willingly stepped down as the leader of the Dora Milaje. With all of the trauma Wanda has gone through, though, she may want to take a step back from saving the world.
As far as the comic book squad goes, with Natalie Portman just being announced as The Mighty Thor at San Diego Comic Con this year, it would be really nice if she made an appearance in the movie. Since Marvel's Inhumans is no longer on the air, Serinda Swan, who played the Queen of the Inhumans, Medusa, is perfectly free to join the MCU. Nico Minoru, played by the brilliant Lyrica Okano on Marvel's Runaways, would be the perfect opportunity to merge a Marvel original with the movie franchise. Other comic book members like Jennifer Walters, She-Hulk, Alison Blaire, Dazzler and Singularity would round out the powerhouse group of heroes.
Read about other member choices on the next page:
Possible Choices For Other Members
With some of the members being unofficially confirmed for Marvel's various projects like Brie Larson in Captain Marvel, Lyrica Okano in Marvel's Runaways, and Natalie Portman as The Mighty Thor for Thor: Love and Thunder, it's clear Marvel is inadvertently heading in that direction right under the fans' noses. How they would come into contact with each other or how they would know each other is a mystery, but why they would assemble would be the same reason why the Avengers formed: to keep the world safe from other worldly threats. There are tons of other great choices for the remaining members, below are some likely but unconfirmed candidates.
Alexandra Daddario, Gina Rodriguez, Viola Davis

ALLEN & HEATH ANNOUNCES THIRD INSTALLMENT IN 96kHz MIXER TRILOGY: AVANTIS
Allen & Heath has revealed its new 96kHz digital mixer, Avantis, the third to be based on the company's XCVI FPGA engine. Avantis puts Allen & Heath's next-generation technology in a 64 channel / 42 configurable bus console, with twin Full HD touchscreens, extensive I/O options and processing from the company's flagship dLive mixing system.
"Joining dLive and SQ, Avantis completes our trilogy of next-gen 96kHz consoles," says Rob Clark, Allen & Heath's Managing Director. "Avantis takes many of the features that have made SQ and dLive so popular, putting them in a standalone 64-channel mixer that offers a new UI experience, connectivity with our Everything I/O ecosystem, and the dPack option which gives you access to our advanced dLive processing options if and when you need them.
"On top of that," adds Rob, "we've taken a new approach with the industrial design, coming up with a full metal chassis that's super-strong, lightweight and looks fantastic."
Encased in its alloy shell and tubular frame, the Avantis control surface is centered on the two Full HD touchscreens and their corresponding rotary controls.
"Having two touchscreens isn't a new concept, but we realised we could use it to unlock exciting new possibilities, which led us to develop Continuity UI," says Andy Bell, Allen & Heath's R&D Director.
"Within seconds of getting hands-on with Avantis, engineers are going to appreciate the seamless flow between the physical controls and the on-screen software. You can work gains and pans on the rotaries, then at the touch of a soft key switch to EQ or dynamics across the whole strip. The console also provides a highly configurable FastGrab tab on the right-hand side of each screen, offering another way to quickly and easily access control of aux sends, EQ, compressor and FX on the currently selected channel or spot channel.
"Ultimately, with Continuity UI, the engineer decides how they'd like to work, not the mixer."
While many users will choose to pair Avantis with the 48 in / 16 out GX4816 audio expander, Avantis is part of Allen & Heath's Everything I/O ecosystem, which means whether you're an owner/operator looking to build a compact system, or a rental company with existing Allen & Heath stock, Avantis allows true flexibility by connecting to a huge range of audio expander hardware. Avantis is also compatible with Allen & Heath's range of ME Personal Mixers and IP hardware remote controllers.
For local I/O, Avantis is well equipped with 12 XLR analogue inputs, 12 XLR analogue outputs, plus AES (Stereo In, 2x Stereo Out). Two additional I/O Ports allow Avantis to benefit from the full range of current dLive option cards, including Dante (64x64 and 128x128), Waves, gigaACE, MADI and more, expanding the scope for system integration, FoH / monitor splits and multitrack recording.
Right out of the box, Avantis is loaded with processing tools designed to meet the demands of most users and applications, including compressors, EQs and Allen & Heath's acclaimed RackExtra FX units (12 slots). Upgrading to dPack expands Avantis further with additional dLive processing including the Dyn8 dynamics engine (up to 16 instances), DEEP Compressors, and the Dual-Stage Valve preamp. dPack purchasers will automatically receive all future DEEP and FX updates free of charge, future-proofing their investment.
"In the gap between SQ and dLive, the mixer market is littered with 48kHz 'old-school' consoles," says Nic Beretta, Allen & Heath's Head of Product. "Avantis brings next-generation performance across the board. Customers in venues, houses of worship, touring and the rental market are going to be seriously impressed by how well this ticks the boxes. It's a really exciting mixer at a compelling price."
Full details and spec at allen-heath.com/avantis
Avantis pricing as follows:
Mixer only: USD $9,999 MSRP / EUR €9,699 MSRP
dPack add-on: USD $1,499 MSRP / EUR €1,499 MSRP
GX4816 Remote Expander: USD $3,999 MSRP / EUR €3,499 MSRP

Jax Company Makes History by Becoming First Black-Owned Water to Sell at Walmart
July 17, 2018 Staff Business, Community 0
Dr. Shayla Creer, co-founder of Live Alkaline Water
For the first time in history, Walmart is selling a Black-owned bottled water brand on its shelves. It's called Live Alkaline Water, and it is 100% natural alkaline water that is bottled at the source from a natural underground spring, an aquifer, and a mineral rock bed that lies 800 feet below the ground.
The company is based in Jacksonville, Florida, but the water comes from a family-owned spring in North Carolina that has been passed down for generations. The quality and high PH balance of the water has been tested and certified by the state of North Carolina, as well as the University of North Carolina in Greensboro.
When Robert McCray, whose family has owned the spring for more than 100 years, learned that the water in their spring could be sold as a product, he decided to partner with Dr. Shayla Creer to create the brand. They both knew that the bottled water industry was very competitive, but they still believed that they had a unique product that could compete.
Dr. Creer told First Coast News, "I called… many Walmarts, and finally we got a hold of one who allowed us to do a presentation." Soon after, they presented their business plan to a local Walmart… and to their surprise, the regional manager was there and decided to give them a chance.
Of course, they were thrilled. "It was hard to keep our composure," said McCray, "because its the product that was [our] baby."
And they had every right to be excited because not only did they become the first Black-owned bottled water brand to be sold by Walmart, but their product sold out within just one month! Walmart has since reordered, and plans to continue selling their water and possibly adding the product to more stores across the country.
The benefits of alkaline water
Alkaline water has long been recommended by naturopathic doctors and others for its high PH balance, which can boost a person's immune system to naturally fight off disease. As an anti-oxidant, it also can slow down & reverse the damage done by disease-causing free radicals.
According to McCray and Dr. Sheer, their water contains the highest levels of 100% organic, natural minerals that not only help keep the body functioning at its best, but also give it a fresh, pure, taste that people love so much.
For more details about Live Alkaline Waterand where exactly it can be purchased, visit their web site at www.live-alkalinewater.com or follow them on Facebook.

The Environment for Intelligent Manufacturing to Be Improved
According to the general requirements for implementing the "6+1" Action of the "Made in China 2025" campaign, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) will continue to carry out the Intelligent Manufacturing Experiment & Demonstration Campaign this year and has recently determined and announced the list of 63 intelligent manufacturing pilot and demonstration projects for 2016.
The 63 project cover 45 industries and 25 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government), involve five latest intelligent manufacturing modes, namely, discrete intelligent manufacturing, process-oriented intelligent manufacturing, web-based collaborative manufacturing, massive customization, and long-distance operational and maintenance services, and reflect an extensive sector and regional coverage and high demonstration value. In a recent interview with our correspondent, Director of the Industrial Equipment Department of MIIT Li Dongri answered questions about the project selection this year and priorities in the next step.
Intelligent project selection
How did you select the 63 demonstrative projects? Compared with previous projects, what characteristics do this year's projects have in sector and regional coverage?
Li Dong: According to the general requirement of the Implementation Plan for the 2016 Intelligent Manufacturing Experiment & Demonstration Campaign published in March this year, we needed to select at least 60 pilot and demonstration projects. In April, we organized experts to conduct research and develop "Conditions for 2016 Intelligent Manufacturing Pilot and Demonstration Projects" as the reference for project selection. In early May, we issued the Notice of the General Office of the MIIT on the Recommendation of Intelligent Manufacturing Pilot and Demonstration Projects for 2016, and asked local industry & information technology authorities to make recommendations. In June, relevant MIIT departments/bureaus organized a joint expert review to evaluate the advanced technology applied, the current implementation, the continuous improvement plan, the demonstrative role, the industry status of recommended projects, etc., and also take into account the industry distribution, regional distribution and the demonstration mode composition, etc. The review results were adopted by the MIIT and made public as required, eventually selecting 63 demonstration projects for this year.
These projects are highly intelligent and cover an extensive range of industries and regions. As to regional distribution, they are located in 25 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government); as to sector distribution, they cover 45 sectors; 25 of them are in the top ten areas of "Made in China 2025" and 38 in other manufacturing areas; as to the pilot and demonstration mode, 23 of them are process-oriented projects, 31 discrete intelligent manufacturing projects, four web-based collaborative manufacturing projects, six massive customization projects and eight long-distance operation and maintenance service projects; as to the corporate nature, 11 of them are owned by central enterprises, 17 by local enterprises and 35 by other types of enterprises.
The implementation effect of last year beat the expectation
What specific requirements do you have for candidate enterprises? How did you set the goal of "two improvements and three reductions"?
Li Dong: We demand pilot and demonstration enterprises to make continuous improvement in intelligent manufacturing to cut the operational cost, shorten the R&D cycle, improve the productivity, reduce the defective product yield, and increase the energy efficiency. Besides, MIIT, local governments and industry associations will launch all sorts of publicity and promotional activities in which enterprises are expected to play an active part, and in particular we shall open field trips for other enterprises in the same industry to help boost the development of intelligent manufacturing.
In the Implementation Plan for the 2016 Intelligent Manufacturing Experiment & Demonstration Campaign, we propose the goal of "two improvements and three reductions": to improve intelligent workshops/plants in two to three years, to reduce the operational cost by 20%, the R&D cycle by 20%, and the defective product yield by 10%, and increase the productivity by 20% and energy efficiency by 10%. This goal is set based on the effect of intelligent manufacturing promotion at abroad and also on the effect evaluation results of 46 demonstration projects for 2015.
Did the 46 demonstration projects launched last year achieve the expected effect? What are the bottlenecks to the promotion of intelligent manufacturing so far?
Li Dong: The campaign of 2015 was warmly received in project areas and industries and achieved desired effect, in particular pilot and demonstration projects. Preliminary sampling statistics show that among the pilot and demonstration projects, 35 digital workshop/plant pilot and demonstration projects saw their operational cost cut by 21% on average, R&D cycle shortened by 35%, productivity up by 38%, defective product yield down by 27% and energy efficiency up by 9.5%, beating the set goal of the campaign.
There are of course problems to overcome. First, companies are not fully aware of the urgency of intelligent manufacturing and many of them just want to wait and see. Secondly, intelligent manufacturing requires advance input, which is a huge burden for companies in particular at a time of economic downturn. The third problem is with the external environment. Current key technical standards are either outdated, missing or uncoordinated, and there's no unified standard for key technologies of intelligent manufacturing such as the Internet of Things and big data, resulting in poor compatibility and great difficulty of integration.
Four favorable policies
What favorable policies do the pilot and demonstration projects enjoy this year?
Li Dong: Before the campaign, we laid down a general approach to fully motivate enterprises to participate in the campaign and while selecting projects, we paid particular attention to projects that had been invested and operated by companies and showed great potentials, to highlight companies' role in integrated innovation, engineering application, industrialization and demonstration. We also make full use of funding sources to grant rewards and subsidies, leverage the leading role of pilot and demonstration units to gather the strengths in production, research and application in the industry, and jointly advance the integrated innovation of key technological equipment, software, complete units of intelligent manufacturing, etc.
As to policy support, first, we will fully utilize existing funding sources such as the dedicated campaign fund, with priority given to intelligent technological upgrade of enterprises. Secondly, we shall add qualified equipment of intelligent manufacturing to the Guide to the Promotion and Application of First Major Technological Equipment (Set) as soon as possible and include it into the scope of the pilot insurance and compensation mechanism for first major technological equipment (set). Thirdly, through the intelligent manufacturing campaign, we shall support the innovation, application and industrialization of key technological equipment, in particular its integration with software, network infrastructure and information security, and intelligent manufacturing standards, to promote integrated innovation and application for intelligent technological upgrade in ten priority areas of "Made in China 2025" and traditional manufacturing. Fourthly, we shall support the innovative development of intelligent manufacturing and improve companies' core competitiveness through the taxation policy for major technological equipment.
What's the plan for the next step for the selected pilot and demonstration projects?
Li Dong: First we shall step up efforts in publicity and promotion. We shall organize a national exchange meeting on intelligent manufacturing pilot and demonstration projects, and mobilize pilot and demonstration projects to participate in the upcoming 18th China International Industry Fair as a group. By the yearend, we will compile typical pilot and demonstration cases for 2016 and report the campaign via media channels. Secondly, we shall strengthen exchange and promotion. In the second half of the year, we will organize experience exchange and model promotional activities for relevant industries. We will also give full play to the role of local governments and industry associations, reform the form of exchange and promotion and accelerate the exchange and promotion of pilot and demonstration projects by region and by industry.

Explainer Science News 07.08.13
This week, some research news for the Explainer team at the Science Museum – encompassing research from the whole of July, 2013.
To start, three stories about stem cells, cells that have the potential to turn into any cell in the body, have caught my eye in recent months. Stem cells are hugely important in research from medicine to fundamental science. However, some of the limitations in their use arise from difficulties getting the stem cells in the first place: in the embryo in the moments after the egg has been fertilised by the sperm (embryonic stem cells); in special regions or 'niches' of the adult body (adult stem cells); or in small numbers by reprogramming adult tissue back to its default state within the laboratory (induced Pluripotent Stem Cells, iPS).
Our first story comes from Peking University where last month researchers made a breakthrough in the generation of these cells. Reprogrammed cells have several ethical and medical advantages over embryonic stem cells but have been confined to lab use. Until this study, reprogramming cells could only be accomplished using a number of gene factors which often resulted in unstable cells. The breakthrough made by the Peking University researchers was in reprogramming cells using a cocktail of molecules alone – a much safer and more clinically applicable technique. The group was able to reprogramme 0.2% of adult cells, a low number but comparable to those from standard iPS production techniques, suggesting this molecule approach could be the future for iPS cell research and application.
One the topic of reprogrammed cells, a group from Yokohama City University have used iPS cells to create new functioning tissue for transplantation. By mixing liver precursor cells, (cells on their way to becoming liver cells but not quite there) with cells important for the development of the human liver, they were able to form small, 3D, liver buds – the building blocks of the mature liver. The group showed that these "miniature livers" worked by implanting them into mice: the recipient mice were able to process drugs that only human livers could handle. Unfortunately, the mechanism is not entirely clear and the efficiency of the technique is low, but the potential for this kind of procedure is very large.
Finally, an exciting, though unpublished as yet, breakthrough in stem cell treatment and HIV. Two men with HIV may have been cured after they received stem-cell transplants to treat the blood cancer lymphoma. The transplants were given to replace the bone marrow, which produces our blood cells. Three and five years after treatment, these two men have no trace of HIV DNA or RNA and have been off HIV medication for 15 and seven weeks respectively. The mechanism is not fully understood but it is thought that the transplanted cells were protected from infection by the anti-retroviral drugs taken during cancer treatment. The donated cells may have killed and replaced the patient's own cells, wiping out the patients' HIV reservoirs. Unfortunately, this breakthrough has to be treated with some caution; these patients now have to take immune-suppressants to take care of the donated cells meaning that the treatment may be too risky for most people infected by the virus.
Tar drop experiment finally caught on film
An historical experiment akin to watching paint dry has been captured on film at last:
The tar drop experiment, testing the viscosity and stickiness of pitch, has been running for 69 years in Trinity College, Dublin. The team at Trinity College used this experiment and the footage to demonstrate that pitch is 2 million times more viscous than honey – so viscous that drops fall every 7 to 13 years. A similar experiment in the University of Queensland Australia missed filming its latest drop in 2000 because the camera was offline at the time. They have another chance this year which you can watch: http://smp.uq.edu.au/content/pitch-drop-experiment.
Solving the beehive hexagon mystery
Another long standing question was solved last month. The hexagonal structure of the honeycomb uses the least wax for the most area, something that has been pondered on since 4 B.C. Researchers from Cardiff and Peking universities have worked out how the honeycombs made by bees have more to do with fundamental physics than the wise work of the bee. The scientists observed how the bees use their body heat to melt the wax and lay down circular, not hexagonal, cells. Over time, surface tension pulls these cells into their familiar hexagonal shape – in an analogous way to the formation of hexagonal foams when bubbles are packed in a single layer.

"Angels in America" (Photo KCRep)
Angels in America at KC Rep
Tony Kushner's two-part Angels in America is receiving a sturdy revival at the Kansas City Repertory Theatre's downtown Copaken Stage.
This sprawling two-part epic, subtitled A Gay Fantasia on National Themes, is at turns surreal, whimsical, hallucinatory, bitchily funny, poetic, brutally blunt, and ultimately quite moving.
Set in the darkest days of the AIDS crisis of the mid-80s, the two plays (Millennium Approaches from 1993 and Perestroika from 1994) weave together such seemingly disparate themes as Bolshevik ideology, the rise of right wing Reaganite politics, Mormon theology, and the all-too-human tragedy of gay men facing a seemingly exterminating plague while struggling for basic human rights.
It's a heady brew and if Kushner sometimes loses himself in allegorical flights, the rootedness of the central characters always brings the play down to earth.
Angels in America interweaves the lives of a trio of gay New Yorkers (Prior, Louis, and Belize); a closeted, Republican, and married Mormon (Joe Pitt); Joe's wife and mother; and the aging, AIDS-infected Roy Cohn, he of the McCarthy hearings fame.
When Prior receives his AIDS diagnosis, his left-wing lover Louis abandons him and begins a relationship with Joe, whose homosexual urges have drawn him to New York's demimonde. Joe then abandons his wife to move in with Louis who, in some of the play's most entertaining scenes, is hashing out his relationship with Prior with Belize, their mutual friend who is a nurse caring for Cohn.
It may sound like the plot of a soap opera but in Kushner's hands it becomes the backdrop for a metaphorical exploration of the state of the American psyche circa 1986 and a meditation on what the AIDS crisis portends.
For Kushner, it seems, the heralds and angels who visit Prior's hallucinatory dreams, echoing Mormon theology, are signs that something momentous is about to occur, that the history of the world is about to move into a new phase.
Seeing the plays 20 years after their debut makes us realize how prophetic Kushner was. AIDS has not been vanquished, gays do not yet have all the rights heterosexuals take for granted, and latter-day Roy Cohns still stalk the corridors of power, but the cultural and political landscape has changed immensely and for the better. Thirty-seven states now allow gay marriage. Full civil rights for all God's children seems to be within reach.
David Cromer, whose stunning revival of Our Town took New York by storm a few seasons back, has molded an impressive cast into a solid ensemble that serves Kushner's vision well.
The limitations of the performance space, which I was told was designed for corporate presentations rather than theatrical productions, forced some uncomfortable compromises in the staging. The angels, for example, are trundled onstage atop rolling steel stairways such as might be used in a parts warehouse. Yet despite such infelicities, and thanks to a terrific cast, Cromer has given us a compelling rendition of Kushner's text.
Seamus Mulcahy, Nik Kourtis, and Paul Oakley Stovall as, respectively, Prior, Louis, and Belize are all note-perfect and alternatively funny, fearsome, and heart-rending.
Perhaps the juiciest role in the plays is the monstrous Roy Cohn of Kushner's imagination and Mark Robbins makes the most of the opportunities afforded him, without ever lapsing into the scenery chewing the part can invite. It's truly a tour de force.
Most of the actors play multiple parts, none more notably that Peggy Friesen, who inhabits a stolid, old-school rabbi; the specter of Ethel Rosenberg; a no-nonsense doctor who reads the riot act to Cohn; the sweetly sensible Mormon mother Hannah; and "the world's oldest Bolshevik" in yet another of Kushner's hallucinatory episodes. This is an actress of impressive range and impeccable technique.
It seems safe to say, twenty years on, that Angels in America will have a permanent and prominent place in the history of twentieth century American theater. That alone makes it worth seeing.
It is, however, not for everyone. Leaving the homophobic bigots aside, there is nudity – frontal, rectal, and dorsal – and depictions of sex acts that some might find offensive. If it's any consolation, the guys who are called on to disrobe have the kind of bods that make walking around naked seem like a perfectly logical fashion choice.

Boys Soccer Coach of the Year: Jesse Rowe, Hall-Dale
In first year, Rowe led Bulldogs to MVC title and return to regional semifinals.
By Travis BarrettKennebec Journal
With an undefeated regular season, a conference championship and a spot in the regional semifinals, it may appear as though Jesse Rowe simply had Hall-Dale in cruise control all season.
But for the first-year head coach replacing a bench boss with six of the school's first Mountain Valley Conference titles on his resume, it was anything but easy. For his efforts in guiding the Bulldogs to the program's eighth MVC championship, Rowe has been named the Central Maine Boys Soccer Coach of the Year.
Mount View's Jeremy Von Oesen and Skowhegan's Jordan Hale were also considered.
"It all goes back to the kids, and they know it's their program," said Rowe, who played on Hall-Dale's first MVC championship team in 1999. "This whole experience, especially this year, I kept riding the wave. The first part of the season was a little bit slow for us in certain aspects, then all of a sudden clicked and once we got through that and understood our identity, we were really good."
Rowe, a physical education teacher at Hall-Dale, spent just one season as an assistant coach to Andy Haskell. Haskell coached the Bulldogs for seven seasons, winning conference titles in six of them.
But Rowe said that even in just one year, he learned a lot from Haskell before becoming just the fourth head coach in the 40-year history of the program.
"I was very naive to how much success Andy had generated over his time there," Rowe said. "After having a year under him, I really understood the standard definitely gets set by the tone you put out to the kids. His tone definitely worked for the prior teams, and I got to see the players I was inheriting. I think I just provided a little bit different point of view than they had in previous seasons."
Rowe was rewarded with a 13-0-1 season and the last MVC squad left standing in Class C South's final four.
Senior Akira Warren, who was converted into a striker under the new head coach, set a single-season goal-scoring record at Hall-Dale with 41 goals. Captain Josh Nadeau blossomed into a driving center midfielder. Several other players also embraced new roles, eschewing personal comforts to better serve the team.
"It was a dream season," Rowe said. "I wish I could have had two more games with those guys, but it doesn't take away from anything they accomplished. I'm very thankful (athletic director) Colin Roy told me I was the right fit for the program. I'm thankful that I had Peate Johnson as a coach when I was a player and that I had Andy as a head coach. I'm happy I had a community around me to mold me as a player and a community member.
"I've got big expectations… I still want to win a Gold Ball. I don't think I'm going to be done until I've got one or two of those."

Thriller Book Review: "The Dark Hour" By Robin Burcell
Robin Burcell has been a police officer since 1983. During that time she has worked both as a detective in the Investigations Division and as a patrol officer. She was a member of the Hostage Negotiating Team and is the FBI-trained Forensic Artist for several different law enforcement agencies. The Dark Hour is her latest work of fiction.
A Brief Summary:
A high-profile killing has brought FBI Special Agent and forensic artist Sydney Fitzpatrick to Amsterdam—even as the assassination of a prominent U.S. senator rocks the political world. Two seemingly unrelated murders are leading Sydney to the threshold of a shocking conspiracy to spread a plague of death across the globe, especially when her sketch of a killer—and possible conspirator—reveals the face of a female CIA agent believed to be dead.
The murder of a witness and the disappearance of the missing agent's husband, covert government operative Zachary Griffin, has Sydney racing against the clock to prevent a biological nightmare of astronomical proportions. For the dark hour is rapidly approaching when all secrets will be revealed . . . and the lives of countless millions will hang in the balance.
Our Take:
This book contains a dizzying cast of characters and the plot is organized in such a way that all the irrelevant pieces somehow manage to connect in a satisfying and unexpected conclusion. while the reader might get a better understanding about the characters by reading The Bone Chamber first, this book can be read as a stand alone novel.
Overall, This is a pleasant read for the fans of action-packed thrillers in an International setting.
Our Rating: 3.6

What did Michelangelo contribute to society? Michelangelo is a revolutionary, his work made others change their views of the world. For example: his paintings and artwork.
A digression from the theme of medicine in Michelangelo's art concerns the artist's own knee, which according to Espinel 15 is depicted in a fresco by Raphael. The painting in the Vatican, commissioned by Pope Julius II at a time when Michelangelo was on site completing the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, shows an individual with an enlarged and deformed right knee.
E  ven after Raphael's death, he was known as a genius of high Renaissance painters. Most believe he was the greatest designer of the Renaissance itself.
In his mind, Michelangelo is a tough, hard working, and talented artist. Indeed, at the age of 72, Michelangelo had worked day and night on the project mostly because he wanted to satisfy his own inner spiritual resolution to move closer in faith and love to God. Thus, he had asked the pope to not pay him at all.


If you happened upon a small park in Nasiriyah, Iraq, last June 28, you would have noticed a group of 15 people, fast asleep, with blue hard hats and orange vests nearby. This group was not homeless, nor staging some kind of occupation. They were volunteers from Iraq Builders who had traveled more than 350 kilometers to repair the badly damaged home of a family without the means to do repairs themselves. Since they didn't have a place to stay for the night, they slept in the park.
"It was nothing," says Elaf Mohammed Al-hijazi, who's a doctor as well as the social media coordinator for TEDxBaghdad and the co-founder of Iraq Builders.
Iraq Builders started a year ago, out of a conversation Elaf Mohammed had with friend Zaid Zahed Hussein. The two wondered: could they use Facebook to coordinate volunteer projects around Baghdad? They posted a status update asking people to join them the next day to serve meals at a local school. 123 people offered to volunteer. From there, the group started posting open calls for actions around the city, usually aimed at helping widows, orphans and families in need. The group has grown steadily. Recently, they held a one-year anniversary party and invited more than 500 guests, many of whom had joined actions throughout the year.
Over the past year, that night in the park in Nasiriyah sticks out in Elaf Mohammed's mind as especially meaningful—and not just because Iraq Builders helped a family of 14 living on $5 a day. When a group of six locals saw the team asleep in the park in the morning, they woke them up to ask what they were doing. The men were so moved by the answer that they dropped what they were doing and pitched in with the build.
Another memorable action took an Iraq Builders team to Basrah, more than 500 kilometers away from Baghdad, to aid a widow. Elaf Mohammed is still amazed that — despite the fact that it required a long and dangerous drive — 19 people offered to hop on a rented bus and spend a weekend helping someone they didn't know. The recipient of their kindness was a woman who'd lost her husband in 2003 and was living with her eight children in a defunct military base. Like many of the people Iraq Builders has helped, they needed a new roof.
The team from Iraq Builders boarded up the holes in the room with brick and cement, and removed what remained of the roof to create a new one out of sandwich panels. The group also bought an air conditioner and small refrigerator for the family.
Meanwhile, female volunteers sat down with the woman and children to talk to them.
In addition to repairs, Iraq Builder also raises money for families in need. They do this by posting call-outs on Facebook and asking volunteers to collect small sums from friends, family members and coworkers.
Elaf Mohammed, with a thick mustache and a bodybuilder's physique, tells the story of another woman he remembers helping via fundraising.
Elaf Mohammed is very familiar with hospitals—he is in his third year of residency, studying internal medicine. And while his passion now is saving lives, he wasn't so sure at first.
It was one of Elaf Mohammed's friends from the hospital who first brought him to TEDxBaghdad in 2011 — and he instantly felt at home at the event. Organizer Yahay AlAbdeli quickly homed in Elaf Mohammed's lively social media following, where he shared health education materials. He asked Elaf Mohammed to become social media coordinator for the event.
While Elaf Mohammed keeps his Iraq Builders and TEDx lives very separate, he says that many of the skills he uses to coordinate Iraq Builders are things he learned working on TEDxBaghdad—for example, dividing volunteers into teams and creating strong branding.
And of course, doing both Iraq Builders and TEDxBaghdad, while also balancing his career and family (he has a wife and two children), is not easy. While his family is very supportive of Iraq Builders, he says his friends sometimes question it.
Distrust has run high in Baghdad recently. In the week before the April 30 parliamentary election (Iraq's first since US troops left in 2011) — for which votes are still being tallied — terrorist blasts ripped through the city. Still, Iraqis lined up in droves, displaying purple fingers to show they had voted.
And this is the message Elaf Mohammed and his fellow Iraq Builders would like to share with the world.


When mobility poses a problem, what may seem like a simple task is made much more difficult, this is where easy access showers are very useful. They allow you to maintain your independence, privacy and above all easily enjoy your downtime.
Level access showers, mobility showers and, indeed, mobility wet rooms are ideal if you suffer with severe mobility issues as you won't require a bath hoist to help you in and out.
Specially designed for individuals with limited mobility, easy access showers can incorporate a range of safety features from folding seats to cool touch showers, slip resistant shower trays, safety grab bars and even ultra-low thresholds, each designed to ensure tasks like showering can be completed with a much lower risk of slipping or falling.
Wet rooms – sometimes referred to as walk-through showers – offer an ideal solution for wheelchair users or individuals with limited mobility. Wet room bathrooms eradicate the need for shower doors and traditional shower trays, allowing you to easily and safely get in and out of your shower.
With many easy access showers and wet rooms available on the market there is ample choice for you to find the ideal mobility shower to aid you, with lots of free advice online to help.


The next time you have trouble with mosquitoes, you might want to break out a subwoofer and some Skrillex instead of the bug spray, according to a study published in Acta Tropica.
Scientists assessed the behaviour of mosquitoes when exposed to electronic music – specifically the song "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" by Skrillex – and found that the mosquitoes were far less likely to feed on humans when the music was played.
"The occurrence of blood feeding activity was lower when music was being played," the study stated, adding that "females entertained with music attacked hosts much later than their non-entertained peers".
The experiment seems to be based on the interaction between low-frequency vibrations and the disruption of signals between conspecifics and hosts.
Scientists said that these observations open new avenues for the development of personal protection against mosquito-transmitted diseases.

Sandy, I just wish I knew what else I could do. After having my own scare with this within this last year, I know how terrified I was for those few days when I thought I was going to get the breast cancer diagnosis. I absolutely can't imagine the strength it takes to actually hear those words as a definite diagnosis & then go through the very difficult journey she has ahead of her. I know how helpless I felt when I thought it was me. When I remember how I felt, I can't think of what I can do to help her that would be enough. I just hope my wonderful followers did what I asked & sent her a message!


My aim is to challenge recent attempts at reconciling moral realism and naturalism by pushing ethical naturalists into a dilemma. According to one horn of the dilemma, ethical naturalists must either (a) build unique facts and properties about divergent social structures (or varying moral belief systems) into their subvenient sets of natural facts and properties, and so jeopardize the objectivity of moral truths, or (b) insist, in the face of all possible worlds in which people have different moral beliefs than ours, that they are all mistaken—this despite the fact that the belief-forming mechanism responsible for their moral beliefs was never concerned with the truth of those beliefs in the first place. This will bring me to suggest that moral properties might only weakly supervene upon natural phenomena. But, according to the other horn of the dilemma, weak supervenience is a defeater for moral knowledge.

In a small bowl, add 1/8 cup wheat flour. Spoon the dough by rounded teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches (5cm) apart. Using the bottom of a glass dipped in the wheat flour (to prevent sticking), flatten each spoonful of dough into a circle. Adjust the size of the drops based on how big a treat you like to feed your dog.
Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl. You may want to use your hands to thoroughly combine the ingredients.
Spoon the mixture into a 8″ x 4″ loaf pan. Lightly press mixture into the pan.
Let cool on a wire rack completely before cutting or serving.


Average price of a used car increased 6% year-on-year (like-for-like) in February.
19th March 2018, London – According to the latest results from the Auto Trader Retail Price Index, despite wider market turbulences, the average price of a second-hand car in the UK is continuing to grow. The average price of a used car in February was £12,768, which on a like-for-like basis (stripping out the impact of changes in the mix of cars being sold1) was a healthy 6% increase on the same period last year; the same level of growth recorded in January.
Whilst new diesel registrations continue to fall, used diesels are not only holding their value, but are in fact growing. With an average price of £14,400 in February, the cost of a second-hand diesel was up 3% (like-for-like) on last year; a £476 increase.
Despite its respectable performance, the growth in diesel prices was overshadowed by the 10% year-on-year increase recorded by petrol. The average cost of a used petrol car in February was £10,733; a modest £20 increase on January 2018, but a huge £1,105 jump on February last year.
On average, 22% of all searches that take place on Auto Trader each month are based on fuel type. In February, the share of car buyers selecting diesel when searching on Auto Trader was 53%, which was unchanged from January.
The proportion of searches for both petrol and alternatively fuelled vehicles (hybrid, bi-fuel, petrol ethanol, LPG, electric) also remained flat between January and February, representing a respective 43% and 4% of all fuel searches during this period.
Further highlighting diesel's resilience to the negative rhetoric surrounding the fuel debate, Auto Trader's data revealed that seven of the top 10 fastest selling used cars in February were diesels. It was a similar picture in January, with four diesels making the national top 10 list, and at a more granular level, seven of the 13 UK regions and countries tracked featured a diesel as the fastest selling used car.
Karolina continued: "Whilst the negative rhetoric that has surrounded the fuel debate over the last few years has clearly impacted the new car market, in regard to the used market, diesels have demonstrated remarkable resilience. Not only are they retaining their value, but as a fuel type, they remain the most popular on our marketplace. That's because they are an excellent choice for many drivers who depend on their fuel efficiency for long distance and out of town driving. What's more, modern Euro6 technology is in many cases a more environmentally friendly choice than petrol alternatives.

The politics of bureaucratic corruption in post-transitional Eastern Europe, Marina Zaloznaya, University of Iowa, (electronic resource)
The Resource The politics of bureaucratic corruption in post-transitional Eastern Europe, Marina Zaloznaya, University of Iowa, (electronic resource)
The item The politics of bureaucratic corruption in post-transitional Eastern Europe, Marina Zaloznaya, University of Iowa, (electronic resource) represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in European University Institute.
Zaloznaya, Marina
Using a mix of ethnographic, survey, and comparative historical methodologies, this book offers an unprecedented insight into the corruption economies of Ukrainian and Belarusian universities, hospitals, and secondary schools. Its detailed analysis suggests that political turnover in hybrid political regimes has a strong impact on petty economic crime in service-provision bureaucracies. Theoretically, the book rejects the dominant paradigm that attributes corruption to the allegedly ongoing political transition. Instead, it develops a more nuanced approach that appreciates the complexity of corruption economies in non-Western societies, embraces the local meanings and functions of corruption, and recognizes the stability of new post-transitional regimes in Eastern Europe and beyond. This book offers a critical look at the social costs of transparency, develops a blueprint for a 'sociology of corruption', and offers concrete and feasible policy recommendations. It will appeal to scholars across the social sciences, policymakers and a variety of anti-corruption and social justice activists.--

Aviation company Comair said on Monday it would continue using the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft it took delivery of last month, unless it receives information that it needs to reassess the situation.
Questions have been raised about the safety of this aircraft model after a Nairobi-bound Ethiopian Airlines passenger jet crashed shortly after take off from Addis Ababa on Sunday, killing all 157 on board.
A similar model of the plane, operated by Lion Air, crashed into the Indonesian Java Sea in October last year.
Following the crash, Ethiopian Airlines announced it had decided to ground its entire Boeing 737 Max fleet until further notice.

The Chinese civil aviation authority also ordered its carriers to ground the plane.
Comair, which operates in South Africa as British Airways and low-cost carrier kulula.com, took delivery of its first of eight Boeing 737 Max aircraft last month.
In a statement on February 27, Comair said the model was the latest incarnation of the most popular jet aircraft ever.
On Monday, Comair said its sympathies were with those affected by the tragedy of the Ethiopian Airlines crash on Sunday, especially the families and loved ones of the deceased.
"We cannot speculate on the causes of this accident, nor the Lion Air accident in October 2018, which only a full investigation will resolve.
"Comair will continue to monitor the various investigations by the relevant authorities and is in close contact with both Boeing and SA's Civil Aviation Authority," the company said.
Comair said the 737 Max 8 was one of the most commonly used aircraft with many airlines today and that by November 2018, 330 of them were in operation globally.
"Our highly trained and experienced flight crews and engineers remain vigilant. If we receive information that requires us to reassess the situation, please be assured we will take appropriate action in the interests of the safety of our staff and customers."
Following the plane crash on Sunday, Boeing said its technical team would be travelling to the crash site to provide technical assistance under the direction of the Ethiopia Accident Investigation Bureau and the US National Transportation Safety Board.
An Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 passenger jet to Nairobi crashed early on Sunday March 10 2019, killing all 149 passengers. Here is what we know so far.

Who here prefers this setup? I just had one installed on my 10mm RIA 1911 & I have to say, I like it. The point of the grip bottom, with a flat MSH, has always dug into my hand. That is now alleviated.
Also, it seems to have made the transition from my glocks not nearly as noticeable.
I prefer the arch, they fit my hand and just point better for me.
It's strictly a personal preference, hand fit thing. Use whatever works for you.
All of my 1911's have/have had the flat MSH. Never had an issue with it. Points better for my hand/grip. If I had to use the arched, the world would not end. Just a minor adjustment. Been shooting 1911's since 1972.
One nice thing with the 1911 platform is the ability to tailor it to your needs and preferences.
Interesting thought. I like the FEEL of the arched, even better than a P225. But I have been competing with flat housings (and ugly Pachmayr wraparound rubber grips) for so long that I would have to work at making the change.
Due to the size of my hands, I much prefer using a flat mainspring housing but have used arched housings in the past.
You can get very nice wedge shaped ones too. Most I have seen have nice checkering.
Yeah turns out I absolutely do not like them but as mentioned it's a hand size and preference thing.
I am an "arched MSH" guy. I have changed over many straight ones.
Can one get an arched MSH & a bobbed grip?
Have the flat MSH on my 1911s. Same with the 2011s.
And no hudr, I've never seen a bobtailed 1911 with a curved MSH. That said I suppose a decent 'smith could come up with something to suit.
I prefer arched and it really irritates me that most manufacturers and "semi-custom" houses don't or won't offer them.
Exactly! I've lost count on how many 1911's I've purchased knowing I was going to have to change out the MSH to an arched one.
Another arched MSH fan. The first center fire pistol I shot was a USN 1911A1. With its arched MSH and short trigger it fit my hand like it was made for it. I still put short triggers in all my 1911s, but leave them with the flat MSH. Not because I prefer it, but changing it out is a PITA.
Top let me swap weapons for an arched housing many years ago. He said he never had a private who actually cared before. Had to requal, though-another range trip never bothered me.
My first ever 1911, a Colt Government Model had an arched MSH, I gave it no thought, sold the gun after owning it for 25 years. Fast forward 15 years later, my two 1911's sport flat MSH's, and I still give the MSH no thought.
Either ones just plain work for me.
I'm with Warhorse. I've used both and can't recall it ever making a difference to me.
I have two model 1911s. My first one had an arched mainspring housing which I thought was fine. I then bought a RIA with a polymer flat mainspring housing.
I found that I liked the flat profile, but the edges of the polymer MSH on the RIA were sharp, so I replaced it with a steel, flat MSH.
I have come to prefer the flat profile to the arched, but it is not a huge difference.
Who here prefers this setup?
I've always had a flat MSP, along with either a medium or long trigger length, and didn't think anything about it.
Then last year I picked up a 1970s Colt with arched MSH and short trigger. It became my instant favorite. That said, I continue to shoot guns with flat and arched. Not a deal breaker either way, though given my druthers I'll always opt for the arched-short trigger combo.
Mine are all flat but are bob tailed. No right or wrong just personal preference.

This might appear an apparent place to begin, but ask buddies, relative and coworkers who have recently moved which estate agents they used and exactly what they thought about them.
You must have the ability to research study this without needing to enter an estate agent's branch. Members of these schemes will be shouting about it on their sites.
Visit your shortlisted estate agents as a possible purchaser looking for a property like your house. Focus on how they act and ask yourself 2 concerns:.
Shortlist your agents, however don't reduce too much. Aim to get at least 3 to come and value your property.
Ideally, you require an agent who is going to be sincere and reasonable, not one who is going to overvalue your home and then cannot get a buyer at that rate.
What does it cost? does the agent charge for sole agency and exactly what is the tie-in duration? Sole agency is where one agent has the exclusive right to sell your home for a set duration. If your home or business is sold by another agent in this time you will still have to pay the sole agent their charge, along with the agent who really sold it. As a guideline, fees for sole agency can vary between 1% and 2% of the price, with a tie-in period of approximately 8 weeks.
How much does the agent charge for multi-agency? A multi-agency arrangement suggests numerous agents will have your home on their books, with the effective agency being given the fee. Typically speaking, this charge will be in the region of 1.5% to 2.5% of the list price.
The length of time has the agent been established and what is their experience? A well-established agent that has experience selling properties in the immediate vicinity of your house is more effective.
Who will take care of viewings? Will the estate agent be present at all watchings? Check regarding whether they will be available during nights and weekends.
Sole agency is cheaper, however the web isn't cast as large and there might be less chance of a fast sale. Multi-agency expenses more, however means that your home or business will get more direct exposure, which increases the possibility of a quick sale.
You might decide to start out with a sole agency, relocating to multi-agency at the end of the tie-in period. Or you might decide to leap straight in with multi-agency.
After a few weeks for multi-agency, or to the end of the tie-in duration for sole agency, examine your estate agent's performance.
Also ask for feedback from the agent. If you've not had viewings, or have actually had watchings however no offers, the agent can offer insight. It could be you're priced too high, or that there's a location of the home that might be improved to encourage a sale.

OSHA Cites Metal Extraction Facility After Arc Flash
An arc flash caused severe burns to three workers at its facility in Hayden, Ariz.
The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) cited ASARCO, a metal smelting company, for electrical hazards after an arc flash caused severe burns to three workers at its facility in Hayden, Ariz. The company faces $278,456 in penalties for two willful violations and one serious violation.
OSHA inspectors determined the arc flash occurred after the insertion of a breaker into a 4,160-volt switchgear. OSHA cited the company for its failure to provide a pre-job briefing before work began on the energized switchgear, render the electrical breaker inoperable before work began, and ensure the injured employees had arc-flash protective clothing.
"Employers must not jeopardize the safety of workers," said OSHA Regional Administrator Barbara Goto, in San Francisco. "Arc flash hazards are well known but can be eliminated when workers are properly trained and protective equipment is provided."
