Internet Of Things Security Play: ARM Acquires Offspark
Offspark specializes in security for connected device communications, a key segment in the Internet of Things evolution.
By Lindsey O'Donnell February 09, 2015, 01:50 PM EST
ARM Holdings pushed into the connected devices market Monday with its acquisition of Internet of Things security software company Offspark.
While many chip makers are charging into the Internet of Things space, one system builder says ARM's acquisition paves the way into an important segment of connected device-related products: security.
"Security software is an important play for ARM," said Todd Swank, senior director of product marketing at Equus Computer Systems, a Minneapolis-based custom-system builder. "Security is obviously such a key element to technology, and it will definitely be essential to the Internet of Things. As companies connect more devices and make them smart, they'd better make sure that those devices can't be hacked."

Offspark, a Dutch company, specializes in security for connected device communications. But the prize possession for ARM is Offspark's PolarSSL, an embedded transport layer security solution for the Internet of Things. ARM said it will merge PolarSSL into its own communication security and software cryptography strategy, rebranded as ARM mbed TLS, and will make it available to developers for commercial use.
ARM mbed TLS will be available for stand-alone use and will target both embedded devices and the non-embedded space as well.
"We have always said that security must be the foundation of any Internet of Things system and the acquisition of Offspark is evidence of us making that happen," said Krisztian Flautner, general manager of ARM's Internet of Things business, in a statement. "PolarSSL technology is already deployed by the leading IoT players. The fact that those same companies also utilize … software technologies means we are now able to provide a complete bedrock solution for the industry to innovate from."
While chip makers like AMD, Qualcomm and Intel are making similar headway into the Internet of Things security space, ARM is taking a strategically different approach as a chip licensor, said Charles King, analyst with market research firm Pund-IT.
"We see other makers assembling their technology embedded in the chip level to enable security services, but ARM has a slightly different play here, since they design and license chips," he said. "ARM wants to create a value-add for its own devices by acquiring and developing embedded security technology that companies can leverage in their own devices. It's a smart move on their part."
Cambridge, England-based ARM's acquisition of Offspark comes just a week after Intel signed an agreement to acquire Lantiq, a smart home broadband chip maker.
Equus Computer System's Swank pointed to this push toward Internet of Things-related products as widespread in the chip industry, which traditionally has been focused on the desktop, smartphone and server space.
"These industry business models have been the same for decades, but now they're being revolutionized by upstarts that are pushing for the Internet of Things," he said. "It is going to be everywhere and anywhere, and companies like ARM and Intel are doing their best to prepare."
Terms of the deal between ARM and Offspark, including the purchase price, were not disclosed.

Q: How to persist a polymorphic collection with API Platform I'm developping a quotation tool with NextJS and an API developed with Symfony and API Platform.
A Quotation has a collection of QuotationRow which is extended by three others entities : QuotationRowProduct, QuotationRowText, QuotationRowSubtotal.
Below, the entire entities:

        return $this;
    }
}

As you can see above in Quotation.php, the collection of QuotationRow is persisted by the Quotation entity.
The probleme is when I do a POST request to the API  on /api/quotations endpoint, the API throw an SQL error : "column 'type' cannot be null", but 'type' is the discriminator column.
So I tried somethings before write this topic:

*

*Send 'type' in the body request to the API: it's ignored by the API

*Map $type as a protected property of QuotationRow : Makes an error because column 'type' already exsists in table 'quotation_row'.
I would like persist all QuotationRow from the Quotation API endpoint . Is there a way to persist a polymorphic collection in OneToMany context from the owner side ? Maybe by wrting a custom API Controller ?
Note that: there is no problem to update QuotationRow when they already exist in database, only to persist them.

Editor's Summary
The flagship site of Adult Friend Finder Networks, Adult Friend Finder is a well-established adult dating site that attracts a massive number of people looking for casual hookups both online and in-person. This site has one of the largest member bases of all online dating sites. Launched in 1996, the hookup site has thus far stood the test of time and continues to grow in popularity, even as new, more simplistic dating apps seemingly launch every month. The site is an unfiltered sexual oasis for singles, those in open relationships, those in committed relationships, and basically anyone looking for short-term sexual gratification. It comes complete with adult videos, adult chat rooms, live member webcams, and many more features revolving around sex.
The hookup site has all the basic features of a dating site, but goes a step further, providing dozens of extra tools to make your online dating experience more sexual, interactive, and enjoyable. The site goes beyond typical online dating functionalities to incorporate pretty equal aspects of social media communities and porn sites, which is seen in the personal blogs, the ability to livestream from the site, and a host of resources and dating (but mostly sexual) advice, including a course-by-course sex academy. The sexually stimulating dating site operates on a points system that helps to gamify the entire experience, making it more playful and allowing your sexual imagination to run wild — in many cases, as wild as you can afford. The currency of the site, points, is either earned through on-site activity or can be purchased via a credit card. In a very game-like (or pay for pleasure-like) manner, you use points to "tip" member updates, member images, and member videos you like, use them to buy "bling" (which are essentially badges), watch naughty videos, purchase free membership months or prizes, and gain access to certain areas of the site.
Members can be as involved or relaxed as they want to be, with options ranging from simply browsing the site and creating a personal hotlist of favorite members, to becoming extremely active and engaging in life-like virtual sex using the Connexion feature, where you can digitally and physically connect by video sexting models as you both pleasure yourselves, as well as sending sensations to each other using high-tech paired sex toys. If you're a free member, you're forced to be more passive as you can't initiate contact as easily, so to get the most use out of the site without spending a penny, it's best to fill out your profile thoroughly (which consists of up to 12 sections), upload quality photos, and then wait for others to contact you.
If you're interested in spending a little more quality time on the site, it might be worth your while to become a paid member so you can take advantage of all of the features that Adult Friend Finder has to offer. For instance, paid members get to message any member on the site free of charge, although some video sections remain pay-walled and require extra payment to unlock. Regardless, AFF is definitely the type of site where increased involvement (and payment) on your part will get you better results, but with such a high number of members and constant activity, it's relatively hard to get bored thanks to the magnitude of features.
The adult dating site attracts an average of over 25 million visits per month, and those visitors spend an average of 10.10 minutes on the site and view an average of 19.29 pages per visit. The majority of traffic originates from the United States, 54 percent of all visits to be exact, followed by visitors from the United Kingdom and Canada. The site ranks No. 42 among all adult sites — including porn sites — and No. 713 worldwide.
A full-fledged sexual haven in the online dating world, Adult Friend Finder continues to attract a growing number of members and improve over time as it adds new, sexually enticing features. The site accommodates users with all varieties of sexual intentions, making it ridiculously easy to meet others and interact online, engage in cyber sex, and arrange in-person casual hookups. With so many members, an abundance of unparalleled features, and a completely non-judgmental, sexually unrestrictive environment, Adult Friend Finder has been and continues to be one of the best online dating sites out there, most prominently in the casual hookup category.
Sign-Up and Login Process
Registration for Adult Friend Finder is a streamlined multi-step process that can be completed in about a minute. Upon landing on the homepage, new users are prompted to select their sexual orientation(s) from a drop down list with options including man, woman, group, couple, couple (two women), couple (two men), or TS/TV/TG along with the sexual orientation(s) of others they are looking to meet. When selecting your sexual orientation(s), you may select only one option, but in indicating those who you are looking to meet, you may select as little as one type or as many as all options available. Next, you enter your birthday, country, and zip code and click register. While remaining on the homepage, the registration box updates to show the second step, requesting you enter your email, create a username, choose a password, and write a short 10-word minimum introduction.
To log into Adult Friend Finder, you have the option of either using your username and password, or your email address and password. Either will work, which is great for you, since you won't have to waste any time trying to remember which one to use.
Members and Messaging
Adult Friend Finder allows for direct interaction via video, chat, and email, as well as more passive (and perhaps less intimidating) interactions, such as showing interest by favoriting a photo or sending a wink. The homepage makes it easy to get started as it lays out 48 matches above the fold organized into categories of who's online, new matches, members near me, and VIPs. The rest of the homepage provides links to all account and profile information, as well as a livestream of member updates. When a member update begins to trend based on the amount of response it is generating from other users, it will be featured in the livestream. These member updates, in the form of newly added images or videos (often quite racy) provide a way to interact in a very social and public setting, as each update comes with options for you to like, comment, tip (or give that member points), or simply view that member's profile to see if it's worth reaching out directly.
You can discover others by running pre-set searches, such as search by distance or search by kink, or browsing different sections of the site, such as the What's Hot section filled with the hottest rated member profiles, videos, and images. Unless you change your content settings, the site is unfiltered, and as so is filled with suggestive member videos, images, and live webcams, which can be streamed directly from the site. As a very visual site, video plays a major role, and sections of live model (video) chat and adult videos are available to stimulate arousal, and get your mind in the right place to start cyber sex sessions.
Staying true to its cause as an adult dating site, Adult Friend Finder comes complete with adult chat groups, a hot or not liking game, the option to favorite or become 'top fans' of others you find sexy, and a robust community section with photo contests, sexually-themed groups, and a full online sex academy from which students may pass courses and display certificates of completion on their profile. The site is also big on self-expression, as it allows you to complete as much or little information as desired, write blog posts, and create public and private albums. To help you learn about yourself as an online dater, there are various tests to explore, including a personality and a purity test, as well as optional profile questions to answer about your sexual appetite. To make it easier to stand out to others with whom you share similar or complementary erotic interests, you can publicly display your kinks or answer open-ended questions about your sexual fantasies.
Adult Friend Finder App
Adult Friend Finder does not currently have an app, however, you can use the site on your mobile browser. Navigating to AdultFriendFinder.com on your mobile phone will bring you to the mobile version of the site, which is more condensed and finder-friendly. Although the mobile version is easier to use on a smaller screen, if you're more comfortable with the desktop version, you do have the option on mobile to switch to the full web version.
Advanced searching mechanisms allow you to get as granular in filtering as desired, such as filters based on breast size and swinging style
Site maintains an established community with active chat rooms, groups, webcammers, and more
Versatile features allow members to find others interested in any sexual activity ranging from simple, coy flirts to BDSM arousal
Various interaction options from passive to direct available in both one-on-one or in group settings
Live broadcasting and model video chats using Connexion℠ sex toys deliver an advanced level of virtual sex opportunities
Icebreaker messages take the work out of figuring out how to start a one-on-one conversation
Adult Friend Finder is secured with a GoDaddy.com web server certificate, meaning transactions on the site are protected with up to 256-bit secure sockets layer encryption. The company also takes additional steps to safeguard user data including hosting all information in a state-of-the-art data center in Santa Clara, California. Users can verify they are communicating with real people when others confirm their account through the certified ID option.
Adult Friend Finder was awarded the XBIZ Award for "Dating Program of the Year" in 2010 and was voted "Best Adult Dating Site of 2012" from About.com. In 2015, Adult Friend Finder won the YNOT awards for "Best Dating Company," and, most recently, won the GFY award for "Best Dating Company" in 2016.

Top 10 Hamptons Sales for 2018: Implications for 2019
February 26, 2019 By Laura Euler
If the top ten sales of 2018 in the Hamptons can be summed up in one word, that word would be "unremarkable," according to Judi A. Desiderio, CEO of Town & Country Real Estate. The biggest sale was $40 million; in other years (such as the blockbuster 2014), that would have been a middling entry to the list. "And," adds Desiderio, "number one wasn't even in the village of East Hampton--it's to the right of the village boundary. But it's a gorgeous property on the double dunes, with six acres. The buyer got a lot for their money. Originally the property was asking $69 million in 2016, but it sold for $40 million."
A similar example is number 9 on the list, 86 Bay Lane, Water Mill. Originally asking $30 million in March 2015, the property closed at $18.375 million.
Another interesting facet to the list: geographic diversity. In previous years, the villages of Southampton and East Hampton heavily dominated the top 10; in 2018, the properties stretch from Murray Lane, Southampton, all the way to Montauk. "In the past 15 years or so I've been compiling these lists, one thing that has been consistent is that high numbers tend to be oceanfront or waterfront," says Desiderio. "This stands out as an odd year, with the listings scattered all over the place. Of course, the numbers were lower this year."
In fact, 7 out of 10 of the sales occurred in the first half of 2018. Is this an ominous sign? We tend to think not--many people try to get deals done as soon as possible in the beginning of the year, so they can be in for summer. And there are some good deals happening now, such as the $35 million 6 Olde Towne Lane, Southampton, property going into contract.
Desiderio comments, "I've been in this business 34 years and this is what I call an emotional market. After all, if you are wealthy enough to buy something north of $10 million as a second or third home, you're a very well-connected buyer. You're aware of all the geopolitical moves and the whiplashing stock market. Right now, I think our market is in a holding pattern, but once spring comes, we'll see the bargain hunters."
Barry Rosenstein's 2014 purchase of two contiguous 3.7-acre parcels on Further Lane for $147 million was the most valuable United States residential sale ever. Until just recently, that is, when Ken Griffin's purchase on Central Park South for $238 million blew it out of the water. Does this portend good things for the Hamptons? After all, that deal was set up years ago. "Yes, but after all, he could have stepped out of the contract and didn't," says Desiderio.
"When it comes down to it, in that world, everyone likes to be at the same party. My prediction is that when the weather breaks, we will see many very wealthy people making great deals out here."
The list:
290 Further Lane - East Hampton
Topping the charts this year was the sale of the property belonging to the widow of late Goldman Sachs partner and former Metropolitan Opera Chairman James Marcus. There are 6.1 acres of semi-oceanfront land (between the property and the ocean lies dunes owned by the Nature Conservancy). There is also a 10,000 square foot house by Francis Fleetwood. Frank Newbold at Sotheby's and Ed Petrie at Compass represented the seller; Cody and Zach Vichinsky at Bespoke brought the buyer.
134 Murray Lane, Southampton
Two acres of oceanfront land in the McDonnell-Murray compound was number 2 this year. Hedge funder Leon Shaulov purchased a property with 200 feet of private beach, a pool, a tennis court, and a four-bedroom, 7,200-square-foot house, which came with the potential to build up to 13,000 additional square feet. Harald Grant at Sotheby's represented the seller while Bespoke brought the buyer.
51 Halsey Lane, Water Mill
Villa Maria, which spent almost ten years on and off the market, finally sold this year in two parcels. A Mr. Cs Lim LLC purchased the house and 7.5 acres for just over $26 million, while a Mr. 55 Halsey LLC purchased 3.5 acres for $9.8 million. Another 3.6 acres sold for $10 million to 57 Halsey Lane Associates LLC. Cody and Zach Vichinsky of Bespoke Real Estate represented the listing.
121 Further Lane, East Hampton
Lasata closed in January after coming on the market in September of 2016. The main house and 7 acres of land sold for $24 million. Along with the 8,500 square foot house, there's also a guest house and a pool house. The property was listed by Douglas Elliman agents Carol Nobbs and Eileen O'Neill, Susan Breitenbach of Corcoran, and Peter Turino at Brown Harris Stevens.
$22.71 million
719 Ocean Road, Bridgehampton
In February, this 4.2 acre property on Sagg Pond closed for an oddly specific $22,711,119. There are ocean views and 700 feet of pondfront, along with a small 1950s cottage. Linda Nasta at Corcoran represented the seller.
240 Old Montauk Highway, Montauk
The highest sale in Montauk in 2018 was also the highest sale in Montauk in 2012. Mike Goodwin purchased the oceanfront property for $10.45 million and gutted it. Then he began readying it for sale this year, but it was sold by Sotheby's agents Dominique Garstin and Rylan Jacka before ever being listed.
3 West Dune Lane, East Hampton
This 1.6 acre oceanfront plot of land belonged to the late Dina Merrill.
79 Surfside Drive, Bridgehampton
This oceanfront teardown sold in a matter of months. Listed by Terry Cohen at Saunders, 1.5 acres of land sports 140 feet of ocean frontage.
$18.375 million
86 Bay Lane, Water Mill
After more than two years on the market, and down from an initial ask of $30 million, this bayfront property closed. Listed by Sotheby's agent Harald Grant, there are 4.6 acres of land with a private dock on Mecox Bay, a main house designed by Robert A.M. Stern, a guest cottage, pool, and tennis.
19 Chauncey Close, East Hampton
3.5 acres of land right on Georgica Pond with ocean views and an interesting house partially created from a 1520 English barn. The property sold in two parcels; the vacant parcel of 3.9 acres sold for $6.7 million. The property first came to market in 2015 asking $45 million and was on and off the market with various agencies and agents. Compass agent Lori Schiaffino finally got the property sold.

RICHLAND, Mo. (March 26, 2009) — Quick action by overworked firefighters likely saved the Beulah Baptist Church north of Richland from destruction on Monday afternoon.
Members of the Tri-County Rural Fire Protection District spent most of Monday racing around their region putting out fires in the underbrush or helping firefighters in neighboring districts do the same, but at 2:55 p.m., firefighters responding to a natural cover fire on Highway 7 about three miles north of Richland reported something considerably more serious.
"Upon arrival (firefighters on) my first engine realized the back of the church had caught on fire and it was a door to a storage unit underneath the church; my officer got on the radio and hollered to me that the church was on fire," said Tri-County Fire Chief Rick Hobbs. "The crews on the engine did a quick knockdown and got the door at the back of the church put out."
Getting the fire in the church's back yard put out took much longer and firefighters remained on the scene until after 5 p.m., though some Tri-County firefighters diverted to respond to a 4:40 p.m. crash of a 1995 Saturn five miles south of Richland on Highway 7.
"It started out as a natural cover fire, and with the winds gusting to 30 to 40 mph, it didn't take it long to be up to the church," Hobbs said. "With further investigation, we had two other structures in danger. A little camper trailer had burned, but then we got a line around (the fire) and got it stopped."
Damage to the church was minor, Hobbs said, and was mostly confined to the wooden door to the storage unit. The contents of the storage unit did not catch on fire, he said, and since the back part of the church is a gym added into the church with metal walls, exterior damage appears to be confined to blackening of the walls. The building sustained no structural damage, he said.
Hobbs said the fire had quickly raced across a cemetery from land owned by another person behind the church, but it's not clear that the other property owner had anything to do with the blaze.
"The property owner had burned some brush piles on the Saturday before but he said they were out. With the way the wind was blowing, who knows, it could have flared up," Hobbs said.
Fifteen Tri-County firefighters responded with two engines, a mini-pumper and two brush trucks, Hobbs said. The Crocker and Hazelgreen districts each responded with three firefighters on a brush truck; Pulaski County Ambulance District paramedics responded but were released soon after firefighters determined the blaze hadn't spread to the inside of the church.
No law enforcement personnel were called to the blaze, Hobbs said, since it's not considered suspicious.

While we're all very excited for the just announced Gotham City Sirens and all the awesome output from DC/Warners including Justice League, Wonder Woman, Flash and Aquaman, it's probably true to say that the one we're all most excited for is Ben Affleck's standalone Batman outing.
Actor Joe Manganiello, who will play Slade Wilson/Deathstroke in the film, has described talking to Affleck about the movie: "When I met Ben we sat down and we talked about, you know, the role. We talked about the movie. His take is a fresh take but I think the audience is going to be surprised. Because it's a road that no one's really gone down that's completely integral to, you know, who Batman is".
But when will we see it? Well, Warners have announced that James Wan's Aquaman will fill the October 5th 2018 slot so this leaves July 27th 2018 is now free and, yes, you guessed it, everyone is penning in the Batman movie for that date.
Manganiello also said they are due to start shooting in spring 2017.
"We still have to get a screenplay and get it together. … I'm a real believer in not reverse-engineering projects to meet a window or a date, but rather when you get the right story, when the right idea, when the right thing, then you make the movie. That's what we're doing, and I'm hoping to get that done. I'm spending a lot of time working on that, but also working on other stuff," says Affleck.


I don't mind baked beans topped with L&P.You can make your own baked beans.Get some dried beans.Soak them over night,cook them slowly until soft.drain off retain the cooking stock,good for stews.Finnish off with a good tomato sauce,tinned chopped tomato ,tomato puree onions herbs salt and pepper.Cook for about an hour.Blend add to beans.Homemade baked beans.
Well mr scrumpy we did ours in reverse order this year as we are not home Christmas or Boxing Day.
So the ham was cooked last night and mash and pickles. And you do NOT want to see the baked beans today!!!!! It was blooming gorgeous. I could eat it until I burst. In fact I nearly did.
Now someone mentioned quiche? That isnt even real food. It's a thick omelette!!! Can you tell im not a quiche lover?
ha ha. Glad I spotted that little auto correct. That last line read "I'm not a quickie lover"!!!!
happy Christmas and whatever you eat I hope you all have fun.
Went to my local butchers yesterday to pick up the usual festive fare and asked the Butcher what he was having for Christmas dinner?
I am cooking for eight Christmas day, hopefully, and I say hopefully next year we will be spending Christmas on the boat just the two of us, the last time we did this was in 1978 on a Hampton 27 hired from a yard in the Beccles, and Christmas day was spent on Barton Turf and when cooking the dinner we had the roof open, it was really special. this is a picture of my wife Susan enjoying her Christmas Day lunch.
As ever I'll be cooking our dinner tomorrow as what remains of the family descend upon me for the day and night.
Tomorrow I'll enjoy getting my bird all hot and giving her a good stuffing in the kitchen before carrying her over to the table and devouring her hungrily whilst having a wine or two.
It will be church at 9.30 (I'm playing the organ and usually manage to drag the whole family along with me), then present opening, then a prolonged dinner with walks/games between courses (we hope!).
Is there no end to your talents Helen? Maybe I missed that little nugget about playing the organ. How wonderful and how special. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
We are being treated to Christmas dinner round at our Daughters today. There will be around eight of us plus two dogs. The usual traditional Christmas fayre is on offer plus a brace of Partridge and Pheasant of course.
parents visited obligatory family photos done, and home again, I am cooking for my daughter and mother in law, while they go visit my ex in hospital where she is recovering from an operation yesterday.
Had a lovely day with my parents. Mum made a very yummy pavlova which my brother ate most of, claiming it was the healthy option out of the puddings as it consists of fruit and eggs!
We had a large chicken and a turkey crown for the big day. Last crown I had was dry, so this time we put a layer of sausage meat under the skin and more in the neck cavity, which with an onion and a lemon stuffed into the main cavity and a layer of streaky bacon on top, kept it nice and moist. Boxing day we had cold meats, chips and leftover veggies and yesterday we had Mrs O's amazing Christmas Pie, which disposed of most of the remaining meat and trimmings (stuffing, pigs in blankets, bread sauce and cranberry sauce and gravy go in with the meat and a lovely flavoursome pie comes out. Today we will finish off the rest in a Chinese style curry stir-fry. Strangely enough, baked beans played no part in our Christmas festivities. Frankly, sprouts are a big enough risk on their own without introducing another high-sulphur food type.
The chicken and turkey bones were boiled up and I will be using the stock to make a lovely big pan of veggie soup which will last us into the weekend.
Spent Christmas Day at my daughter's in North London, it was superb, Turkey crown and all the trimmings. It made a change for us as I usually have the family come to us on Christmas Day - I really enjoy the cooking side of things and it's lovely to have the house full. I also like to give my daughter a break as she runs an internet retail Company that is horse and pony related and is aimed at little girls aged between about 4 and 16 years old and it is manic for several weeks leading up to Christmas ( one day last week she personalised, packed and posted 120 assorted garments So by Christmas Eve, having had about 6 weeks with a similar schedule she was well and truly exhausted. I couldn't do it this year because I had a hip replacement op' in the Autumn and although I have made a good recovery and am walking unaided and without a limp for the first time in years my stamina is not back to full strength and she wouldn't let me do it. Glad to see how many of you enjoyed the holiday too. My very best wishes to everyone for a very happy, healthy New Year.
christmas eve I cooked a small 30 day cured beef joint, christmas day was a turkey breast joint, boxing day I decided to take my sister up on her offer of a family get together at her house, so it was a cold buffet, I have had a few days of turkey and beef sandwiches for lunches, and it will be a throw some slices of beef and turkey into a pan with left over gravy then into the oven to properly heat up, and some mashed potato to go with it.
According to my husband Christmas isn't Christmas unless he's had at least one meal of cold turkey, pickles and mashed potato.
I forgot to say that I made a nut roast for my vegetarian daughter: fine chopped onion, breadcrumbs, veg suet, chopped mixed nuts including chestnuts, walnuts, almonds, pecans and hazelnuts, grated nutmeg, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary and marjoram from the garden, lemon zest and lemon juice, all bound together with egg (she's not a vegan). Served with vegetarian gravy, all the Christmas dinner veg and non-meat trimmings, she said it was excellent, so who am I to argue?

Senior Spotlight: Touching Base with Softball Player Ashley Neuenfeldt
The Gustie student-athlete up to bat in this week's feature is senior Ashley Neuenfeldt. A pitcher and outfielder for the Gustavus Softball team, Neuenfeldt hails from Bloomington, Minnesota. At a time when many of Gusties have left campus, Neuenfeldt's reminiscence of her best memories with the team remind us of the value of connection, however we must do it while apart. Neuenfeldt has made quite the name for herself on the Softball field throughout her four years at Gustavus, with standout achievements including 2019 MIAC Academic all-conference honors, all-conference honorable mentions, and team-leading stats including a .353 batting average, 27 runs scored, and just eight strike-outs in 119 at-bats in the 2019 season. Despite this athletic prowess, Neuenfeldt reminds us that there's so much more to the game of Softball than winning and losing.
"The most meaningful thing about Gustie Athletics for me has been the connections I've made with my teammates. They've definitely become some of my closest friends, and it was amazing to have kind of an immediate family as soon as I came onto campus… I've kinda continued to feel that as I've become an older student, fulfilling that role for some of the first years and teammates in classes below me." Neuenfeldt said.
Even as she sees herself stepping into a leadership role as a veteran of the team, Neuenfeldt mentioned the influence her own role models had on her throughout college so far.
"I look up to all the members [of the team], the class ahead of me especially. Many of them were starters from their freshman year and that was really a role I also stepped into. Having their experience on the field with me and their excellence in the classroom was very inspiring." Neuenfeldt said.
Most Gustie student-athletes will tell you that their sport and experience is defined by their teammates, with Neuenfeldt being no exception as she continued to discuss her favorite memories of Gustavus Softball.
"[My teammates] made the journey everything I wanted it to be and more. It's one of those things where they kinda defined the experiences for me. It's not about the wins, it's not about the losses, but the things I remember are us playing hacky sack in between games, or our little bonding moments on our plane trip to South Africa… You're just hanging out with people and enjoying those in-between moments. It's been more special to me than the wins on the field, the time I've shared with other people." Neuenfeldt said.
It's no wonder why COVID has been so devastating for Gusties when teammate bonding plays such a powerful role in their college experience. Neuenfeldt discussed some of the biggest challenges she and her team have faced this fall.
"The biggest challenge has definitely been staying connected and staying motivated. I really thrive in the environment of being around my teammates, and it's a lot easier to grind through a workout when you've got other people right beside you. I think holding myself accountable and keeping in mind what my goals are… I wanna be better for my teammates. We were able to get some lifting workouts this fall, and a couple of practices." Neuenfeldt said, continuing with, "We've been staying connected over Zoom the last couple of weeks, and we're going to continue to do that until we can get back out onto the field together. [We've been] bringing in some professional athletes that we can all learn from, and all of our Softball idols, we're getting to meet some of them, which has been exciting!"
COVID isn't the only thing that's been a force of change in the Gustavus Softball program.
"We're really trying to meet those incoming freshmen, and we also have a brand new coach this year, Coley Ries, and it's been really exciting to get to know her and learn from her because she definitely brings a unique perspective, having played professionally." Neuenfeldt said.
Regardless of the disappointments she's faced thus far in her senior year, Neuenfeldt looked to the positives and her hopes for the spring semester.
"We have February 1st in our sights to start practice, and we're kinda grinding it out until then! Some positives [amid Covid] were that we did a lot of small group things, and so it was really a great opportunity to get to know teammates better. You're in a group with maybe two or three of you, and you're really getting to know them. Especially with a brand new coach — getting to know Coley on that level was great, 'cuz sometimes when you're there with the whole team you don't get that specialized attention." Neuenfeldt said.
The prospect of a chance to compete again this spring has been a major motivator for Neuenfeldt.
"My biggest hope is that we can be as normal as possible, but being able to play even a couple of games, I think, would be kinda perfect for me. I'm just really excited to get back out on the field! I've been coaching all summer, and watching those athletes play has just made me want to get out there and compete more and more. Neuenfeldt said.
Neuenfeldt has a job already lined up for after graduation, but she certainly won't be forsaking the sport of Softball anytime soon.
"I'll be working in the Actuarial Development Program at Traveler's in St. Paul. I interned with them this summer, and I'm definitely excited to pursue that! I've been coaching with a club team in my hometown Bloomington, Minnesota, and I will be an assistant coach for that team again." Neuenfeldt said, before expanding on the life lessons she will carry over from Gustie Softball into the next stage of her life.
"Control the controllables. In Minnesota we deal with a lot of weather, in any sport you're dealing with officials and different things you can't control, Covid has added a whole other element there… There's so many things that you can't control, so stay on top of what you can and make the best of every situation." Neuenfeldt said.
She wrapped up with one last piece of advice for Gusties, especially those of us who may be a little too wrapped up in perfectionism as finals approach.
"It's ok to fail. A batting average of 300 is pretty good. failing seven out of ten times might happen, but keeping your head on straight, looking forward, and seeing what you can do better… If you've put in all the preparation work, that's really all you can do. Going into it knowing I've done everything in my power is really the mindset I want to keep going forward" Neuenfeld said.

Can I Change Where My Puppy Eats?
Puppies are skilled at locating their food dish.
Many puppy care experts advise you to designate a permanent spot for your puppy's food and water. But the spot where you initially choose to locate Sparky's food might not work out in the long run. He may outgrow it or it just might not be convenient any longer and you may end up wanting to change where your puppy eats.
Sparky is adaptable and smart -- plus he has a great sense of smell that is highly attuned to things that smell good to eat. If you started out feeding him under the cabinet and he's grown too big, or if his food dish was originally in the hallway outside the kitchen but your puppy now blocks the flow of traffic because he's so large, don't feel bad if you end up moving his dish. He'll quickly adapt to the new location of his dining room and you'll no longer have to step over or around him while he's eating.
Even though you'll want to find a spot for Sparky's food and water that is close enough to the action of the household so that he can still hear what's going on, too much commotion while he dines will distract him. High-traffic areas like hallways and open areas aren't ideal because they can be too busy for your pup, and he could easily be in the way of the foot traffic. Corners are perfect spots for food and water because a lot of the time they are out of the way, and they keep the dishes from sliding around. Look for an empty corner in your kitchen or laundry room and put Sparky's food there.
You can move your puppy's food dish gradually, sliding it a few inches toward the new spot each day, but that shouldn't be necessary. Usually all it takes is showing Sparky his new dinner spot once. There's a chance that he'll head for the old spot out of habit once or twice, but when he sees the food is gone, he'll let his nose take over and he'll soon sniff out the new location. It shouldn't take your puppy more than a day to learn his food dish's new spot. Even though your little guy is a quick study when it comes to food, try not to make a habit out of moving his food dish around. Pick a spot and let that be the dish's final resting place.
If you're crate training your puppy, you might be tempted to put his food and water inside with him so he can have a little nosh when he gets peckish and a drink if he gets thirsty. Although food can provide a positive association for your puppy with the crate and the crate may seem like a convenient place to feed him, Sparky's little digestive system works quicker and his stamina isn't as good as an adult dog's. That might be OK if the crate is open, but if he's trapped inside when he has to "go," you'll have an uncomfortable pup or, worse, a mess to clean up. Find a location other than the crate for your puppy's food.

And welcome to a new day in Canada's political life. Or so hope the founders of the country's newest political entity, Green Left Canada. Announced July 19th, the "eco-socialist" Green Left says it, "…emerges from the groundswell of opposition to neo-liberal systems that threaten the survival of the planet and democracy..."
Dr. Radhika Desai is a Professor in the Department of Political Studies at the University of Manitoba, and Director of the Geopolitical Economy Research Group there. She's also a three-term President of the Society for Socialist Studies, and a founding member of Green Left Canada. Her book, 'Geopolitical Economy: After US Hegemony, Globalization and Empire' proposes "a new approach to understanding world affairs in the capitalist era…"
Radhika Desai in the first half.
And next week marks the 76th anniversary of the atomic bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That tragic and senseless act will be commemorated by the Victoria chapter of the Women in Black, who will again stand vigil at the inner harbour.
Terry Wolfwood is Director and co-founder of the Barnard-Boecker Centre Foundation, and a writer, photographer, and long-time activist in pursuit of peace, social justice, and women's rights.

Pericles the Younger (440s – 406 BCE) was an ancient Athenian strategos (general), the illegitimate son of famous Athenian leader Pericles by Aspasia.

Pericles the Younger was probably born in the early to mid 440s BCE, before 446 according to some scholars, but possibly as late as 440. He was admitted to Athenian citizenship by a special exception from his father's own law prohibiting citizenship to children of non-Athenian mothers. He served as Hellenotamias in 410 or 409, and as strategos in 406. He was one of six strategoi executed following the Battle of Arginusae for failing to pick up survivors in a storm (see Battle of Arginusae).
