Over the white line: Footballers avoid the Hamilton treatment in Seville
By Andy Darley
In a news-packed week when Formula One and several other racing series began gearing up for the start of their new season, the main item to catch our eye was football-related. But bear with us.
The England team had an engagement to play a friendly in Seville on Wednesday. Followers with long memories may recall that players Shaun Wright-Phillips and Ashley Cole were subjected to an outrageous display of racist chanting from fans there when the teams met in Madrid in 2004.
Fast-forward a year and the next victim of racism in Spanish sport was iconic French international Thierry Henry, the subject of deeply unpleasant remarks by team manager Luis Aragones who later claimed that referring to Henry's ethnicity had been a valid means of motivating his players.
The Spanish Football Federation took this so seriously that they fined Aragones the equivalent of a day's pay.
Most of this site's visitors will probably recall the racism that Lewis Hamilton experienced from a small number of fans at the Barcelona circuit during testing in 2008, to which Spanish drivers Fernando Alonso and Pedro de la Rosa responded by saying that it was insignificant and a one-off.
And so we arrive in 2009 where England are set to play a friendly against Spain. (A match they eventually lost 2-0.)
England captain John Terry said before the match: "If it gets as bad as last time, the referee would have to step in and make a decision. If he decides to lead both teams off the field, we'll have to support that. It's not nice, but I'm fully behind my team and my players. If any one of the referee or players decide that, we'll follow suit."
Fortunately no such action was needed. England fielded a side that included both Cole and Wright-Phillips as well as David James, Glen Johnson and Emile Heskey – but experienced no repeat of the 2004 problems.
Excellent news – it would be good to think that the tide is turning and a wider consensus is growing that racist behaviour in sport is deeply offensive wherever it takes place.
This is not to try to stake out the moral high ground, as English fans are still regrettably quite capable of handing it out. And not just to black players – time spent at any Tottenham Hotspur fixture, home or away, will be a sharp lesson in the anti-semitism alive and well on the terraces.
But it does remind us that all might be fair in love and war, but not in sport. And, if overt racism does happen, it should be tackled and never dismissed as insignificant or a one-off.
So, good for John Terry – and that's not a phrase we find ourselves uttering very often.
Here are some of the other racing and automotive-related items we read this week:
It's not just Formula One that's finding things tough – the tin-tops are being forced to park up at the side of the track while the battle to find sponsors goes on. An investigation by the BBC's Kevin Connolly points out that advertisers have always loved NASCAR thanks to the clear demographic profile of its audience: "It is a vehicle for selling everything from whiskey and beer to cheese-flavoured crackers and indigestion tablets – at least it always has been until now. Car sales have plummeted in the US in recent months and the leaders of the big three auto-makers have been exploring the chances of a federal bailout. So can they afford to keep pumping dollars into this money-guzzling sport, when those dollars might come from the American tax-payer?" As you may guess, the answer's a firm 'no' – read the rest of this fascinating article here.
The 'lost Bugatti' – an immaculate car with a perfect provenance dating all the way back to BRDC founder and Le Mans winner Earl Howe – sold for €3.4 million, comfortably close to the expected price. Although those spoilsports at Bonhams haven't revealed where and to who…
Uncomfortable news is emerging from the investigation into the death of Colin McRae at the controls of his helicopter two years ago. The routine Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) report into the tragedy found no cause could be positively determined – but did reveal that his pilots' licence had expired two years previously. It also said the rally driver had been "undertaking a demanding manoeuvre" prior to the crash. The parents of six-year-old Ben Porcelli, who also died in the crash alongside McRae's son Johnny and family friend Graeme Duncan, said it was evident that "unnecessary risks" were taken. Read full story here.
Louise Goodman is now an ambassador for Go Motorsport, an organisation that aims to get fans like you and us off our backsides where we sit complaining about the quality of the Formula One coverage, and actively involved in the sport. And we can't think of a better person – good luck in your post-ITV1 career, Lou!

Ron Dennis has gone from zero to hero in the eyes of the FIA – he's been to Paris and collected a prestigious Palme d'Or award. As James Allen says in his blog, who would have thought it, eh? But Lewis Hamilton has topped him with something far more desirable – a gold Blue Peter badge. Now he must truly have no more dreams left to achieve… Come on, you cynics! Who could watch this film and not be charmed by the guy? Guess it's too much to hope that he'll be wearing it on his overalls…
And finally – we know the Red Bull vid of Sebastian Vettel explaining how the new RB5 meets the 2009 technical regs has done the rounds already – but it's the best explanation we have seen yet, so it appears alongside this post.
Author: Andy Darley. Ex-journalist, fan of Mark Webber and anyone who ever drove or tested for Minardi and didn't say rude things about the team afterwards. Owns a Triumph Spitfire and hopes that, one day, it'll be on the road again. Andy has written 744 articles for us.

Both these excellent Australian Chardonnays are made by members of Yarra Valley Wine Women (pictured above), for whom I chaired a tasting last September. I'm hoping to catch up with them next month when I'm in Melbourne for Riesling Downunder when, doubtless, I'll unearth more vinous treasures.
Turning to an Aussie woman of food, a power cut following last week's storm gave me the perfect excuse to dine at new local contemporary Australian restaurant Wander, which got a big thumbs up from my neighbour. Hot tip Charlie! I can thoroughly recommend chef/patron Alexis Noble's small plates' dining with Italian and Asian twists and a small but interesting Australian/Italian wine list.
I first met winemaker/owner Caroline Mooney in 2014 and was immediately impressed by her accomplished wines, including a vertical of this Chardonnay. She sources grapes from a single old (c. 40 year old) vineyard – the cool, elevated (300m) Willow Lake Vineyard in Gladysdale, the Upper Yarra. It produces this pale, racy wine with green glints. In this truly excellent year for Yarra Valley Chardonnay, it is super-intense, with the power to pair beautifully with roast cod, Portuguese punched potatoes and runner beans, liberally dressed with Esporao olive oil (a favourite duty free purchase). You can find Nuno Mendes' punched potato recipe from Lisboeta here (the bay leaves are a nice touch). Bird on a Wire Chardonnay 2015 has an enticing nose with subtle struck match, cashew, ripe, succulent lemon and firm white peach. It has you salivating from the get go (and again at the memory!) Beautifully balanced, though it has intensity and weight, its race and pace translates into an overall impression of levity. It's as if the palate never lands, but flies, propelled by mouthwatering but ripe, never austere, acidity. Super long, with perfumed lime zest and a hint of sweet vanilla to the finish. Terrific. £35.99 (£24.99 for Angels) at Naked Wines (though it is currently out of stock).

Edward Turner FRS FRSE FRCPE (24 June 1796 – 12 February 1837) was a Jamaican-born, British physician and chemist, known for his work on atomic weights, and as a populariser of the atomic theory of Dalton. He was the author of a popular chemistry textbook that was the first to incorporate chemical symbols and formulae as well as organic chemistry.

Life
He was born at Teak Pen in Clarendon, Jamaica, the eldest of nine children of Dutton Smith Turner (1755-1816) and Mary Gale Redwar (1776-1822), who were themselves children of Jamaican plantation owners.

While he was young his parents relocated to Bath, where he received his early education at Bath Grammar School.

Together with his younger brother, William Dutton Turner (28 June 1798 - June 1858), he attended the University of Edinburgh Medical School where they graduated M.D. in 1819 and 1820.

William returned to Jamaica as a doctor in Spanish Town while Edward established a practice in Bath. After spending some time in Paris he decided to change from Medicine to experimental science and, starting in June 1821, he studied for two years at Göttingen University under Friedrich Stromeyer, working on inorganic chemistry and mineralogy.

In 1823 he returned to Edinburgh as a lecturer, where he instituted a course of lectures and laboratory sessions on chemistry; and in 1827, with the opening of University College, London, he was appointed to the new Chair of Chemistry and as a lecturer in Geology, which he continued to occupy until his death.

Turner was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1825, his proposer being Thomas Allan. In 1830 he was further elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London. In 1836, he was elected as a member of the American Philosophical Society.

He died on 12 February 1837 at his London home at 38 Upper Gower St (renumbered to 117), now Camden, and was buried on 18 February 1837 at Kensal Green Cemetery (KGC 883/86/IR).

Artistic recognition

A marble bust of him by Timothy Butler was placed in University College London by his pupils and is now in the Turner Laboratory in the Christopher Ingold Building in Gordon Street.

Works
Turner was the author of a concise Introduction to the Study of the Laws of Chemical Combination and the Atomic Theory (1825), developed into Elements of Chemistry (1827), a work which ran through eight editions. As an investigator he published about forty papers and memoirs, a list of which was given in the Royal Society's Catalogue of Scientific Papers.

Turner succeeded in throwing light on the ores and oxides of manganese. His major work, however, was that on the atomic weights of the elements. Stimulated by Prout's hypothesis, and by the experimental work by which Thomas Thomson in 1825 sought to confirm it, Turner examined the question for himself. In two papers published in the Philosophical Transactions (1829 p. 291, and 1833 p. 523) he pointed out sources of error in Thomson's work, and obtained results which agreed with those of Berzelius. His conclusion was that Prout's hypothesis as advocated by Thomson (that all atomic weights are integer multiples of that of hydrogen) was untenable.

The Dragalia may be Lost but you can find a hit RPG in the making, over in the App and Google Play stores!
When the reveal of Dragalia Lost first come about earlier this year, it was at the time, a bit random. Not only was we revelling in the reveal of a new Nintendo collaboration as far as their mobile games go, but it would be a mobile game concerning a new IP and release it this year.
Fast forward to the present. Although Dragalia Lost did not see a release in the likes of Australia, New Zealand, Canada or even Europe, the Cygames developed title did get to have the United States added as a day one launch title and it's a good thing it did because Dragalia Lost is actually a pretty impressive RPG.
It's nowhere near as impressive as the likes of Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna – The Golden Country, which is just godly, but Dragalia Lost, even with the gacha system at play, is an impressive game that feels too good for mobile devices.
I know the same can be said for a few RPG mobile games, but having played it as much as I have, it does actually feel like a game that would have been better off on the Nintendo 3DS or even the Nintendo Switch. It would naturally need bigger levels and more content to feel right at home on either platform as a "true game," but Dragalia Lost is a gem that does have a great way of demonstrating what a gacha RPG should be like.
Still, that's enough praise for the meantime, after all, we've to get into all the nitty gritty details, so let's correct that shall we? First and foremost, Dragalia Lost is not just another Japanese action role-playing game, it's a JRPG that comes to us from Cygames, a developer who is no stranger to making mobile games and monetizing them in such a way that everyone can benefit.
Only, it's not just Cygames who are involved as Nintendo are also getting their hands dirty with it and the love child the two companies have created is a delight that you can choose to play on your own, or on the go. But as far as co-op goes, we'll cover that later, first up is the story.
In typical fantasy-setting JRPG fashion, Dragalia Lost is an anime-like game, which in its current state, takes place in or around the Kingdom of Alberia. As for its story and main protagonist, both revolve around a young prince by the name of Euden, seventh in the line to the throne of Alberia. He's also the twin brother to Zethia.
Both he and his sister are born from a royal family that possesses an ability most do not and that ability forming pacts with dragons, which in turn allows them to transform into the dragons they've formed a pact with, temporarily.
Only, unlike their older siblings and father, at the beginning of the game, neither Euden or Zethia have formed a pact with a dragon, since Euden has deliberately avoided doing so and Zethia actually walks a different path altogether from her family.
Now, I could go into detail as to why that is, but Dragalia Lost is a new game that is currently denied to most of the world, so I'm actually avoiding spoilers as if they were the bubonic plague. However, what I can elaborate on, is the fact that in typical RPG fashion, what was meant to be a simple task, ends up being anything but and poor Euden ends up finding his whole life getting turned upside down.
In the first 6 chapters of the game, he'll come face to an ancient evil that the world (Grastaea) has been threatened by before, make new friends who will join him in arms and embrace a path he wished never to walk and enter into pacts with more than just one Dragon.
As for the title and its relevance to the game, Dragalia is the word used to describe the trust between humans and the dragons they've formed a pact with. A Dragalia that was then lost and Euden is determined to see restored, along with peace for all.
This ending is then followed by a notification that tells the player that the story will continue when the game's next update rolls outs. (Yay!) It is something of a shame that players can reach the end within 10 hours of playing, but there is more to Dragalia Lost than just a main campaign made up of 6 chapters, which in turn are made up of areas that have their own playable levels and story segments, there are side quests in the form of missions in the Events tab.
For the most part, they play out a lot like the main campaign quests, except these are quests you can just play over and over, in a bid to grind gold, upgrade materials and elemental upgrade materials.
As for how to play, the quests are pretty straight-forward. Players must navigate a given area, using their finger on the screen and sliding it in the direction they wish to move. Upon seeing an enemy they wish to hit, they must tap repeatedly and when available, press the highlighted skill icon or even the highlighted dragon icon, to perform a special attack or turn into a dragon and deal devastating damage.
Most levels consist of two areas, the first which you must explore and contains things like environmental hazards, enemies, crates and that can drop a health-restoring item that acts immediately and chests that drop useful items and weapons. As for the second area, they're where you can expect to engage a big bad boss in battle, who may or may not be alone.
By completing a level, players can earn EXP for their characters and themselves, as well as keep the items they discovered. If they fail it, they can opt to use Diamantium (a type of currency players will need to buy with real-world money,) or Wyrmite (a type of currency that players can earn,) to continue.
Personally, on the occasions I did die on a level, I never did bother with paying to continue, as I just took my failure to mean I should forget about trying to do a level on my own, and do it via co-op instead.
How the two modes differ is fairly minimal and co-op is very beneficial. You see, when playing on your own, players will need to make a team of up to 4 Adventurers, equip them with the best weapons, dragons and Wyrmprints they have (a card like item that each have their own special effects.) You'll also need to try and make sure their levels are similar, but not with co-op.
With co-op mode, players only ever need to focus on having one high powered character and dragon, as they can then join up or create a room of their own and be paired with a team full of high-powered. Sometimes you can create a room and everyone is ready to go within seconds, but other times, it can be a couple of minutes before everyone is ready to set off.
I'd say the waiting can be exhausting at times, or at least a little long-winded, but playing with others is the best way to play Dragalia Lost and get all of the good stuff. You can also communicate with one another by using stickers and for every new player you play with, you can get another 50 Wyrmite for free.
Another co-op benefit, which is a rather big one, is the fact it offers a way to keep on playing when you run out of stamina. Being a mobile game, a stamina is expected, but with Getherwings, players can use these free items to join rooms created by other players and play with them, while you wait for your stamina to fill (6 minutes to recover one stamina point.) or level up.
When levelling up, not only will your stamina recover, but your Getherwings will be restored as well. Essentially, co-op is a great means of playing Dragalia Lost for free, for hours on end. You will not have to worry about investing a cent into the game, but you might want to have your charger handy as Dragalia Lost is a battery killer.
Sure, downloading everything will have the game take up a whopping 2.51 GB on your mobile device, but one additional download is better than having to download each and every level when you go to play them.
Anyhow, even if you invest a hundred hours fighting, the battles are only half the war as Dragalia Lost has lots of other features and facilities for players to take advantage of and strengthen their units. You do however need to make sure you continue playing the main campaign long enough to unlock the likes of an auto play mode that will have an AI control your team of 4, unlock Castle, and a few other things, such as a hard mode.
Ultimately, it depends on how the player chooses to play Dragalia Lost, in which they'll gain access to everything, but once you have, with the Upgrade menu, you will be able to upgrade Adventurers, Wyrmprints, weapons and dragons, as well as craft new weapons that are stronger.
For things like weapons, dragons and Wrymprints, in the event you don't have any upgrade materials, you can always sacrifice weapons, dragons and Wrymprints you don't need. You'll also be able to take advantage of Mana Circle and spend both items and Mana to unlock nodes that will allow your characters to learn new abilities, improve their stats and buy Adventurer Stories.
The latter is a story-like segment that gives players an insight into the characters they have been fortunate enough to acquire. You'll find this feature over in Castle. In Castle, players can also visit the dragons they have bonded with and give them gifts. There are gifts you can earn by buying them with gold, which can be earned just by playing and then there are those you can earn for free.
In return, the dragons will also give you some great gifts, and as your bond grows, you'll be able to hear their Dragon Stories. Then there is also a build mode with Castle Grounds, where players can place facilities and level them up. Some facilities will earn you gold, whereas others will boost attributes and grow Dragonfruit, which is an item that can be used to level up your dragons.
If after all that and you're still looking to improve your team, you'll have no choice but to combine multiple dragons and Wyrmprints, by "unbinding" them, as this will allow you to level them up further. Weapons can also by unbinded, but to strengthen your characters and add another star to their rating (5 is the max,) you will need to promote them, which requires Eldwater.
Eldwater can be earned just by playing, but it is a slog and it will be a long time before you get to promote anyone to 5* status. One way which can speed the process up however, is by summoning. Whether you're using your real-world money or all the Wyrmite that you can earn, via completing missions, quests and daily accomplishments. By summoning, you can summon new characters, dragons and Wyrmprints.
As great as it is to get a new character, by getting someone you already have, you can get Eldwater instead and the higher star rating of the character, the more Eldwater you can get, thus speeding up how soon you can promote someone.
Honestly, I have lost count of how many times I have done a ten-fold summon already, but I have yet to pay anything and I have two great 5* dragons, one 5* character named Hawk and a couple Wyrmprints as well. I've also managed to get plenty of lesser starred characters and fill out my rosters quite a bit.
Not everyone has had a similar luck as myself, as some have had worse, but others have had better and their collections put mine to shame, but for a gacha game, so far I have not felt pressured to pay for anything, not even when in the game's shop, where special bundles and items are available.
For me, that is Dragalia Lost is at its finest. Some have nothing but praise for its chosen graphical choice and killer soundtrack that is foot-tappingly infectious, but for me, the fact Dragalia Lost is a mobile game with plenty to do and what feels like minimal pressure on buying into it, makes it a winner in my book. If you chose not to summon at all though, you can earn adventurers and dragons, just by playing through the main campaign.
It also has more RPG-like gameplay going on and a similarity to Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido, what with the character designs, game menus and texts, which only makes it all the more enjoyable.
Naturally, Dragalia Lost is not without some issues as the home menu can soon get overcrowded and it is perhaps a little too "grindy" and can have the occasional performance issue, especially when playing co-op, but so far, it is certainly a game that should give Fire Emblem Heroes a run for its money, and at least perform half as well. After all, the two comic strips it have are cute, funny and like the rest of the free-to-play Dragalia Lost, don't cost a single thing!
Cygames were already a fantastic developer in their own right, but with their knowledge, Nintendo's talents and both parties joint expertise, Dragalia Lost is not just another run-of-the-mill JRPG, but a great one. Just because you can pay to get ahead, or just to get all the good stuff, but you don't have to if you don't want to.
You can grind for hours on end, the means are there so you can do so without paying. Sure it gets repetitive going through it all, but what is an RPG without some grinding, especially when it's for one of the best RPGs to grace mobile devices this year?

 21. The Lion Becomes the King of Beasts

 After climbing down from the china wall the travelers found themselves in a disagreeable country, full of bogs and marshes and covered with tall, rank grass. It was difficult to walk without falling into muddy holes, for the grass was so thick that it hid them from sight. However, by carefully picking their way, they got safely along until they reached solid ground. But here the country seemed wilder than ever, and after a long and tiresome walk through the underbrush they entered another forest, where the trees were bigger and older than any they had ever seen.

 "This forest is perfectly delightful," declared the Lion, looking around him with joy. "Never have I seen a more beautiful place."

 "It seems gloomy," said the Scarecrow.

 "Not a bit of it," answered the Lion. "I should like to live here all my life. See how soft the dried leaves are under your feet and how rich and green the moss is that clings to these old trees. Surely no wild beast could wish a pleasanter home."

 "Perhaps there are wild beasts in the forest now," said Dorothy.

 "I suppose there are," returned the Lion, "but I do not see any of them about."

 They walked through the forest until it became too dark to go any farther. Dorothy and Toto and the Lion lay down to sleep, while the Woodman and the Scarecrow kept watch over them as usual.

 When morning came, they started again. Before they had gone far they heard a low rumble, as of the growling of many wild animals. Toto whimpered a little, but none of the others was frightened, and they kept along the well-trodden path until they came to an opening in the wood, in which were gathered hundreds of beasts of every variety. There were tigers and elephants and bears and wolves and foxes and all the others in the natural history, and for a moment Dorothy was afraid. But the Lion explained that the animals were holding a meeting, and he judged by their snarling and growling that they were in great trouble.

 As he spoke several of the beasts caught sight of him, and at once the great assemblage hushed as if by magic. The biggest of the tigers came up to the Lion and bowed, saying:

 "Welcome, O King of Beasts! You have come in good time to fight our enemy and bring peace to all the animals of the forest once more."

 "What is your trouble?" asked the Lion quietly.

 "We are all threatened," answered the tiger, "by a fierce enemy which has lately come into this forest. It is a most tremendous monster, like a great spider, with a body as big as an elephant and legs as long as a tree trunk. It has eight of these long legs, and as the monster crawls through the forest he seizes an animal with a leg and drags it to his mouth, where he eats it as a spider does a fly. Not one of us is safe while this fierce creature is alive, and we had called a meeting to decide how to take care of ourselves when you came among us."

 The Lion thought for a moment.

 "Are there any other lions in this forest?" he asked.

 "No; there were some, but the monster has eaten them all. And, besides, they were none of them nearly so large and brave as you."

 "If I put an end to your enemy, will you bow down to me and obey me as King of the Forest?" inquired the Lion.

 "We will do that gladly," returned the tiger; and all the other beasts roared with a mighty roar: "We will!"

 "Where is this great spider of yours now?" asked the Lion.

 "Yonder, among the oak trees," said the tiger, pointing with his forefoot.

 "Take good care of these friends of mine," said the Lion, "and I will go at once to fight the monster."

 He bade his comrades good-bye and marched proudly away to do battle with the enemy.

 The great spider was lying asleep when the Lion found him, and it looked so ugly that its foe turned up his nose in disgust. Its legs were quite as long as the tiger had said, and its body covered with coarse black hair. It had a great mouth, with a row of sharp teeth a foot long; but its head was joined to the pudgy body by a neck as slender as a wasp's waist. This gave the Lion a hint of the best way to attack the creature, and as he knew it was easier to fight it asleep than awake, he gave a great spring and landed directly upon the monster's back. Then, with one blow of his heavy paw, all armed with sharp claws, he knocked the spider's head from its body. Jumping down, he watched it until the long legs stopped wiggling, when he knew it was quite dead.

 The Lion went back to the opening where the beasts of the forest were waiting for him and said proudly:

 "You need fear your enemy no longer."

 Then the beasts bowed down to the Lion as their King, and he promised to come back and rule over them as soon as Dorothy was safely on her way to Kansas.

EBRO � Landowners and land managers with an interest in growing and managing longleaf pines are invited to attend a Longleaf Management Workshop June 4 in Ebro.
The 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. workshop is being offered at the Ebro Community Center, 6229 State Road 79. There is no cost to attend but you must pre-register by May 31.
�We believe this is a great opportunity for landowners interested in forestry and wildlife management practices to hear from experts who are knowledgeable about longleaf pines, their value in the timber industry, and how to meet your objectives,� said Ad Platt with The Longleaf Alliance. Platt, who covers north Florida and south Alabama, said he will also talk about various landowner incentive or cost-share programs to promote longleaf pines.
Following lunch, which is provided free of charge to all who register in advance, attendees will tour Nokuse Plantation, near Bruce on State Road 81, where longleaf pine is being re-established. Those who take the tour will see how to deal with problems of establishing longleaf in former sand pine plantations, as well as tour a gopher tortoise mitigation site.
Some of the topics covered at the workshop will include economic and environmental benefits of longleaf pines; native plants and wildlife associated with longleaf forests; prescribed fire and tips for landowners; and how to deal with exotic plants.
Longleaf pine forests were once the dominant forests throughout much of the South, with a natural range extending up to the 2,000-foot elevation in the mountains of Alabama and Georgia. This species, more than any other, built this region.
An estimated 92 million acres of longleaf pines existed when European settlers began moving into the southern states. By the mid-1900s longleaf pine forests were almost eliminated, with only 3 million acres remaining.
�Longleaf is again becoming a common sight across the south, and landowners are choosing this species for both economic and environmental purposes. Recent plantings have increased the acreage of longleaf to more than 4 million acres, and they continue to gather interest,� Platt said.
In addition to The Longleaf Alliance, other partnering agencies putting on the workshop are the University of Florida � IFAS, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, Nokuse Plantation and the Florida Forest Service.
Anyone interested in attending is urged to register by calling the FWC Regional Office at 850-767-3634.

Community Resource Center (CRC) is excited to announce the newest addition to our programming with the adoption of the Colorado Nonprofit Social Enterprise Exchange (The Exchange).
The Exchange is where innovators, creatives, social entrepreneurs and visionaries come to learn about, share, enhance, develop, finance, and launch sustainable revenue projects and businesses for their nonprofit organizations.
Founded in 2013, by Caryn Capriccioso and Rick Zwetsch of interSector Partners, L3C, and Julie Voyles of JVoyles Nonprofit Consulting, The Exchange has worked to create a resourced ecosystem of social enterprise nonprofits, venture philanthropists, and foundations to support Colorado communities. The Exchange will enhance CRC's already diverse portfolio of programs that build the capacity of individuals, organizations and networks affecting social good.
The Exchange supports nonprofits in building more sustainable, unrestricted sources of funding and supporting economic opportunity in low-income communities through the creation of businesses that train and employ clients. The Exchange's Social Enterprise Cohort has graduated 21 organizations that have successfully launched 12 social enterprises, with another 4 in development. Participating organizations have raised over $1.8 million in startup and initial capital, and created over 40 jobs in the community.
The Exchange founders are working closely with the Board and Leadership of CRC to transition the program. Their expertise, experience and support will continue to inform, influence and support the delivery of the program.
CRC is pleased to partner with experts in the field and experienced social enterprise professionals to bring this resource to nonprofits and communities across the state. We envision a thriving, resourced social enterprise sector in Colorado complementing and enhancing the nonprofit, for-profit and government sectors' work to create a healthy, fair and just society.

Faith and fun at London summer youth camp
Camp counsellor Sophia Mutuc poses for a photo with priest and singer-songwriter Fr. Rob Galea. Photos courtesy of Catholic Christian Leadership Camp
By Chanelle Robinson, Youth Speak News
LONDON, Ont. - Despite the winter winds howling outside, youth ministry specialist Dan Moynihan and his team are busy preparing to welcome hundreds of high school students to camp this summer.
First weekend for 'Unplanned' in Canada a success
Each summer for four weeks, the Diocese of London hosts a Catholic Christian Leadership Camp (CCLC) that welcomes students from Grades 9 to 12 to grow in faith, play sports and encounter God by becoming Catholic leaders. The camp has grown exponentially since beginning in 2009. Last year, it hosted more than 360 students.
Moynihan said that the leadership formation specific to this camp gives children the "confidence to live God's will for their life."
Like most summer camps, CCLC provides many activities for their campers, like biking, archery, group games, music and arts and crafts.
Moynihan said that other youth ministry programs offer a "mountain top" experience without any debriefing afterwards, but "this camp helps (students) digest what is being presented to them in a camp setting," he said. "Kids are immersed differently because they have to live it for five days."
Travelling to various different camp sites throughout southwestern Ontario, CCLC also provides leadership training specifically designed for each high school grade level.
The Grade 9 group receives an introduction to leadership and learns how to be leaders in a high school environment. The Grade 10 program incorporates a general deepening of the faith, asking questions about what we believe and why. The Grade 11 program introduces Theology of the Body and living in right relationships with God and each other, while Grade 12 campers are enrolled into a Counsellor in Training program in which they enhance the "camper" experience by becoming leaders to their younger peers and assisting other counsellors.
"The ideal hope for it is that kids go through all (the grade level programs)," said Alexandria Neves, a CCLC counsellor and a second-year student at King's University College in London. "It's a neat kind of cycle. (The Grade 12 campers) get to help out and try to give back some of the knowledge they've acquired."
The Eucharist is at the centre of the fun. Prayer is central to the everyday life of campers, through daily Mass, rosary walks, adoration and prayers before and after meals.
Neves said what sets CCLC apart from other camps is having Mass.
"CCLC isn't a place where you experience awesomeness and go back to nothing," she said. "We are sending them back to their own Masses and their own communities which might differ in flavour but is always the same in that it has that heart. That eucharistic heart." Sophia Mutuc, another camp counsellor, said the non-Catholic registrants from previous years have all entered the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. She also said that whenever she sees a previous camper "the flame I saw from camp is still in there and it is really refreshing to see."
Through the integration of prayer within the context of community building and leadership opportunities, CCLC is seeing the seeds it plants come to fruition.
"The thing that I really like about the CCLC environment is that it really sets you up to live a Catholic life," said Neves. "This is what it looks like to be fully alive and living a Catholic faith. You can't really find that model in media and popular culture."
Lifelong friendships are also integral to the formation of leaders. Counsellors act as prime examples for the adolescents who "see themselves reflected in the staff (and the) diversity of gifts and hobbies," said Moynihan. Peer support flourishes because the upper-year high school students build relationships with post-secondary students.
CCLC has opened for registration. See dol.ca for further details.

The Sinking City Trailer Shows a Mystery With More Than Tentacles
STEVEN STROM, MAY 6, 2019
The Sinking City is a game with an unenviable task. We've now reached a certain saturation point with riffs on H.P. Lovecraft. The author has become so ingrained in pop culture — especially in video games, it seems — that people kind of know what to expect. And I don't just mean "Cthulhu will probably show up." Lovecraft's reputation as an unrepentant bigot is old news even in the mainstream. So The Sinking City, if it wants to incorporate the writer's signature style, doesn't just need to sidestep cliches. It needs to acknowledge and work around the cosmic horror that was largely inspired by a terrible man and his terrible views on certain groups of people.
Mortal Kombat 11 Review – The Sands of Time
Persona 5 R Just Got a Short but Official Teaser Trailer
Everything We Know About Borderlands 3 (So Far): Release Date & Details
"A Delicate Matter" – The Sinking City Gameplay Trailer
One especially nasty story by old Howard was "Facts Concerning the Late Arthur Jermyn and His Family." You might not be familiar with it. There aren't any tentacles or horrors from beyond. Instead, the story is a pretty thinly veiled allegory for Lovecraft's bigotry. I won't go into all the details here. Suffice it to say that Lovecraft had some terrible opinions about race and social classes (duh).
The Sinking City shows some pretty clear Arthur Jermyn influence, though, in its latest trailer. The video shows 12 minutes of commentated gameplay, featuring an aristocrat named Mr. Throgmorton. Based on his attitude, not to mention his snobby name, you can bet he's probably a bad guy. And that's potentially interesting. The Sinking City looks to be playing with components of Lovecraft fiction in ways that subvert the motive behind those original stories. That's a lot more intriguing than what we usually get: stories and games that take the cosmic horror aesthetic, and just ignore their awful origins.
It's tough to say how well The Sinking City sticks that landing, without playing the game for ourselves. But the mostly unedited mission footage shown here definitely piques our interest! We'll know more when the Lovecraftian detective game launches on June 27, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

LeBron Rails Against 'Out of Control' AAU Culture
During a recent interview with Yahoo Sports, the four-time NBA MVP left little doubt regarding his feelings on the modern AAU system.
LeBron James isn't a fan of modern Amateur Athletic Union basketball.
The four-time NBA MVP, who's gotten the chance to witness current AAU culture up close thanks to the participation of his two sons, Bronny and Bryce, left little doubt of that during an exclusive interview with Yahoo Sports.
"AAU coaches couldn't give a damn about a kid and what his body is going through," said James. "It was a few tournaments where my kids—Bronny and Bryce—had five games in one day and that's just f****ing out of control. That's just too much. And there was a case study where I read a report. I don't know who wrote it not too long ago, and it was talking about the causes and [kids'] bodies already being broken down and they [attributed] it to AAU basketball and how many games that these tournaments are having for the [financial benefit]. So, I'm very conscious for my own son because that's all I can control, and if my son says he's sore or he's tired, he's not playing."
"AAU coaches couldn't give a damn about a kid and what his body is going through," said James. "It was a few tournaments where my kids—Bronny and Bryce—had five games in one day and that's just f****ing out of control. That's just too much. And there was a case study where I read a report. I don't know who wrote it not too long ago, and it was talking about the causes and [kids'] bodies already being broken down and they [attributed] it to AAU basketball and how many games that these tournaments are having for the [financial benefit]. So, I'm very conscious for my own son because that's all I can control, and if my son says he's sore or he's tired, he's not playing."
While we can't be sure exactly which report LeBron is referring to, there's plenty of evidence that the current youth basketball system—of which AAU is an integral part—is leading young athletes to suffer overuse injuries at alarming rates. For those talented (and physically resilient) enough to make it to the NBA, they usually arrive with so much mileage on their bodies that the odds of a long, healthy career seem bleak.
"A lot of these tournaments don't have the best interest of these kids, man. I see it. It's like one time, they had to play a quarterfinal game, a semifinal game and a championship game starting at 9 a.m., and the championship game was at 12:30 p.m. Three games. I was like, 'Oh, hell no.' And my kids were dead tired. My kids were dead tired. This isn't right. This is an issue," James said.
"You know that old saying. It's like, 'Boy, you ain't tired. What you tired for? You're only 12 years old. You don't even know what it means to be tired.' Nah, that's bulls**t. Those kids are tired."
Many kids who participate in AAU basketball specialized early—meaning they began playing only one organized sport (in this case, basketball) before they hit high school.
Instead of spending time honing a variety of different physical and mental skills playing multiple sports in both organized and unorganized environments, they simply devote all those hours (and perhaps more) to playing just one sport, subjecting their body to the same repetitive actions multiple hours a day over the entire year. We recently detailed why early specialization may be one cause of Zion Williamson's injury-riddled start to his NBA career.
James also believes that poor nutrition isn't helping matters, either, which is an excellent point.
"And they don't eat great too. The nutrition part. They don't eat well at 14, 15, 16. They're taking all that pounding and then they're not putting the right s**t in their body. It's tough," says James. "There's no Whole Foods in those small cities. Those kids are eating McDonald's, bro. They're eating bad, and they're playing five, six games a day. Come on, man. That's what it is."

While James did grow up participating in several AAU tournaments, he says the system has drastically changed since then. He also believes that playing pick-up games, often against older competition, was a much bigger factor in his success than AAU.
"There are way more tournaments, there are way more showcases now compared to when I played," James said. "You know how we got better as kids? We played against older kids because we knew if we lost, we had to wait a long-ass time before we got back on the court…That was our motivation. That pushed us. That's how we got better."
James' comments are made all the more interesting considering his own longevity.
The 34-year-old has logged more NBA minutes than any other active player. He's already appeared in more career games than Shaquille O'Neal or Scottie Pippen, and he shows little sign of slowing down.
Coincidence or not, James did not specialize early. His first love was football, and he was an All-State receiver at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School (Akron, Ohio). Even as the hype around him as a basketball player grew into a supernova, he continued playing football all the way up until his senior year of high school.
While many parents rush their children into early specialization in hopes of creating a future pro, just look at LeBron's childhood. He believes his most valuable basketball development came via pick-up games, not organized tournaments or private skill sessions, and he continued to compete in multiple sports well into high school.
While James forbids his own sons from competing in youth football due to safety concerns, he did encourage them to participate in sports such as soccer and baseball. Now that they appear to be specializing, he's concerned about them being pushed to play too much basketball.
"I think it's just based on if [parents] know you have a special kid or some special kids, you can't be putting them in every f***ing tournament just because people want to see them," said James. "But like I said, these coaches don't give a damn about these kids. I care about my kids. I don't put my AAU kids in every tournament. We probably play like five or six tournaments a summer."

The fires are both directly related to madness (insanity) and slavery (real and perceived). In the first section, the slaves start a fire to voice their feelings of anger and discontent to Mason. Antoinette's dream is much the same...... burning Thornfield Hall would rid her of her own feelings of anger, discontent, and feelings of bondage..... to her husband.

Street sign installation is of the utmost importance. Imagine a road with no sign indicating the speed limit or where to stop. Without propert signage, there would be chaos. Accidents would be caused and innocent motorists or pedestrians could be seriously injured.
In a parking lot, ADA regulations stipulate that handicap parking must be available. Handicap signs help to indicate handicap parking spots. The Federal Highway Administration (FHA) requires all roads have street sign installation indicating the speed limit. For example, the speed limit on the Garden State Parkway is between 55 and 65 miles per hour. Depending on one's preference, street sign installation can be completed using a wood or square steel post.

Clerul (în ) este un film polonez din 2018 care a fost regizat de Wojciech Smarzowski pe baza unui scenariu scris de Smarzowski și Wojciech Rzehak. Filmul prezintă soarta a trei preoți catolici, interpretați de actorii Arkadiusz Jakubik, Robert Wieckiewicz și Jacek Braciak. După ce evenimente tragice din trecut au unit soarta a trei preoți catolici, viețile lor se vor contopi din nou, iar evenimentele care vor urma vor afecta destinul tuturor.<ref>[https://tiff.ro/film/cler Cler] la tiff.ro. Accesat la 19 aprilie 2021</ref> Imaginea Bisericii Catolice, ca instituție privită "din partea sacristiei", este arătată prin prisma destinului a trei clerici, ale căror vicisitudini demonstrează că și pentru preoți, la fel ca și credincioșilor "laici", nimic uman nu le este străin.

Premiera a avut loc la 18 septembrie 2018 în timpul celui de-al 43-lea Festival de Film de la Gdynia, unde a primit premiul special al juriului, premiul pentru scenografie, premiul publicului și premiul jurnaliștilor. Filmul a avut premiera în cinematografe la 28 septembrie 2018. Este pe primul loc în lista filmelor cu cele mai mari venituri în cinematografele poloneze (filmele produse după 1989).

Muzica filmului a fost compusă de Mikołaj Trzaska și interpretată de acesta și Orkiestra Klezmerska Teatru Sejneńskiego.
Prezentare

În genericul de la începutul filmului apare și următorul text din Matei 7: 15-16:
Păziți-vă de proroci mincinoși. Ei vin la voi îmbrăcați în haine de oi, dar pe dinăuntru sunt niște lupi răpitori. Îi veți cunoaște după roadele lor.

Cu câțiva ani în urmă, evenimente tragice au unit soarta a trei preoți catolici. La fiecare aniversare a dezastrului din care au scăpat în viață în mod miraculos, preoții se adună împreună pentru a sărbători mântuirea lor. Viața fiecăruia este diferită. Toți duc o viață dublă care nu este în conformitate cu standardele morale ale Bisericii Catolice.

Preotul Lisowski (Jacek Braciak) este angajat într-o curie dintr-un mare oraș unde visează să aibă o carieră la Vatican. Problema este că în drumul său se află Arhiepiscopul Mordowicz (Janusz Gajos), care abuzează de imoralitatea lui Lisowski și își folosește influența politică pentru a construi cel mai mare sanctuar din Polonia. Un flashback arată că homosexualul Lisowski a crescut într-un orfelinat catolic, unde copiii au fost umiliți și supuși unor pedepse corporale severe; el a văzut și cum un băiat mai mare violează băieți mai mici. Lisowski are un apartament de lux și conduce un Mercedes-Benz Clasa S. El instalează în secret un aparat de înregistrat în magnificul birou al arhiepiscopului. În acest fel, află că Mordowicz este vizitat adesea de prostituate, el poartă o mască de porc în timpul jocurilor sexuale, se lasă biciuit și țipă. Când Mordowicz refuză din nou cererea de a fi transferat la Roma, Lisowski guiță scurt în timpul conversației. Mordowicz își dă seama că Lisowski l-ar putea șantaja și, în cele din urmă, este de acord cu transferul. Se presupune că Lisowski este deja în contact cu un grup de homosexuali din Vatican.

Al doilea este preotul Trybus (Robert Wieckiewicz), un preot paroh rural care se luptă cu slăbiciunile umane (alcool, femei). A predicat public despre moralitate, dar a devenit dependent de alcool și are o relație sexuală cu tânăra sa menajeră Hanka Tomala (Joanna Kulig). După ce a aflat că va avea un copil, el o îndeamnă mai întâi să facă avort. Pentru a se menține pe linia de plutire financiară, își părăsește biserica în decădere și se îmbogățește din ce în ce mai mult din donații ale credincioșilor pentru slujbele sacramentale. În cele din urmă, Trybus își dă seama că o iubește pe Hanka. Ea s-a opus avortului; el îi promite că nu o să mai bea în viitor. Pentru ca amândoi să își poată continua relația, el îi închiriază un apartament în oraș. Se presupune că va renunța la profesia sa de preot.

Nu se comportă prea bine nici părintele Kukuła (Arkadiusz Jakubik). El este singurul dintre cei trei preoți care a avut o credință puternică și este dedicat bunăstării tinerilor locali. Deși colaborează cu instituțiile locale, cum ar fi poliția, pierde încrederea populației din cauza acuzațiilor de pedofilie. Unul dintre discipolii săi încearcă să se sinucidă după un astfel de abuz - cu toate că nu este clar cine este responsabil. Kukuła reușește să-i convingă pe enoriași că acuzațiile împotriva sa sunt greșite. Un flashback arată că însuși Kukuła a fost abuzat când a fost doar un băiat de altar de către capelanul său. În timpul unei slujbe duminicale, el dezvăluie acest lucru enoriașilor săi care sunt șocați. El se sinucide spectaculos: la ceremonia de inaugurare a sanctuarului promovat de arhiepiscopul Mordowicz, s-a stropit cu benzină în timpul predicii arhiepiscopului și s-a incendiat.

Producție
Producția filmului a costat echivalentul a aproximativ 2,5 milioane de euro. Clerul a fost filmat în Voievodatul Polonia Mică, inclusiv scene filmate în Cracovia, Brzesko, (Palatul Goetz - sediul filmului arhiepiscopului Mordowicz) sau în gara Warszawa Grochów. Pentru câteva scene de interior, echipa de filmări a trebuit să se deplaseze la Orlová, Karviná în Republica Cehă (parohia Nașterii Fecioarei Maria din Orlová din Zaolzie, Ostrava), deoarece nicio parohie din Polonia nu a fost de acord să se filmeze în biserica sa. Preoți activi, dar și foști preoți, au dat sfaturi pe toată durata producției. Victimele abuzurilor sexuale comise de clerici își spun cuvântul în acest film. Filmul a avut premiera mondială în timpul Festivalului de film polonez de la Gdynia.

Lansare și primire
Premiera a avut loc la 18 septembrie 2018 în timpul celui de-al 43-lea Festival de Film de la Gdynia, unde a fost nominalizat la premiile Leii de Aur. A câștigat în 2018 premiul special al juriului pentru "prezentarea unui subiect social important", premiul pentru scenografie (Jagna Janicka), premiul publicului și premiul jurnaliștilor. A primit în 2019 premiul Vultur (poloneză: Orzeł) la categoria Cea mai bună muzică (Mikołaj Trzaska), premiul Vultur la categoria cel mai bun rol principal masculin (Jacek Braciak) și premiul Vultur la categoria cel mai bun rol masculin în rol secundar (Janusz Gajos) și premiul publicului (Premiile Filmului Polonez, 2019). În 2019, la Festivalul Internațional de Film Transilvania de la Cluj-Napoca a primit Premiul FIPRESCI.

Filmul a apărut în cinematografe la 28 septembrie 2018, iar în weekendul premierei sale (28 - 30 septembrie 2018) a fost urmărit de 935.357 de spectatori, ceea ce reprezintă cel mai bun rezultat din istoria cinematografiei poloneze (înainte și după 1989); în plus este pe locul 3, cu 5.184.258 de spectatori, în lista celor mai vizionate filme din Polonia după 1989, fiind întrecut de Pan Tadeusz (6.168.344 de spectatori) și Prin foc și sabie (7.151.354 de spectatori). A fost prezentat de până la 24 de ori pe zi într-un cinematograf multiplex din Zabrze.

A avut încasări de 105.261.308 de zloți polonezi (și aproximativ 29.913.342 de dolari americani în total). În afara Poloniei, a fost proiectat în cinematografe din Regatul Unit, Norvegia, Islanda, Olanda și Germania, unde a câștigat în plus aproximativ 2 milioane de dolari.

La 6 februarie 2019, filmul a fost lansat pe DVD și Blu-Ray. Lansările pe CD conțin o descriere audio pentru persoanele cu deficiențe de vedere și subtitrări în limbile poloneză și engleză.

Filmul a declanșat o dezbatere aprinsă despre Biserica Catolică și rolul acesteia în societatea poloneză. Preotul Tadeusz Isakowicz-Zaleski a criticat filmul ca fiind subiectiv și tendențios. Directorul Telewizja Polska, Jacek Kurski, a descris filmul drept o provocare. În mai multe orașe, cum ar fi Ostrołęka sau Ełk, s-a încercat să se împiedice difuzarea acestuia în cinematografe. Paweł Soloch, șeful autorității de securitate națională din Polonia, a comparat filmul cu producții antisemite difuzate de propagandă nazistă.

Publicistul Tomasz Raczek a afirmat că filmul arată în mod impresionant eradicabilitatea Bisericii Catolice, deoarece Andrzej Wajda a vrut cândva să arate același lucru despre regimului socialist cu Omul de marmură''. Smarzowski nu a intenționat să rănească sentimentele cuiva, ci mai degrabă să stimuleze gândirea, a spus episcopul de Opole, Andrzej Czaja, într-o recenzie pozitivă a filmului. Arhiepiscopul  romano-catolic de Gniezno Wojciech Polak, a comentat filmul, "Poate fi o realitate exagerată, o portretizare caricaturală, dar nu putem spune că nu există. Pentru noi, "Clerul" este o chemare la muncă concretă asupra noastră, la schimbări ale fundamentelor noastre, la o mai mare sensibilitate."

Smarzowski însuși a declarat că a realizat filmul în principal din cauza scandalurilor (abuzurilor sexuale și altele) din Biserica Catolică din Europa de Vest și America de Nord. El a sugerat că funcția de preot se bazează pe încrederea socială. Clericii sunt un exemplu moral pentru credincioși și trebuie să trăiască cinstit. El s-a apărat împotriva acuzațiilor de discreditare deliberată a bisericii. Mai degrabă, el vrea să aducă o contribuție la faptul că oamenii nu văd preoții ca sfinți, ci ca semeni ai lor care au și slăbiciuni.

Continuare
O continuare a filmului (în coproducție) este în lucru, cu un buget de 20 de milioane de euro. Probabil noul film va prezenta o intrigă bazată pe întâmplări de la Vatican.

Shane Parish received Fireside Book of Folk Songs as a gift. It sat on the shelf for a few months, a proud edition to his sheet music library, with its colorful illustrations and contextualizing prose. Then, one day, he picked it up and began to feel his way through the tunes on guitar—sea shanties, ballads, work songs, hymns—all coming to life in the singular interpretive style that he has been developing for many years.
There is a point, after years of exploration and focus, at which ones craft merges with their personality, and becomes intuitive, effortless, and fluid. Like a casual conversation, or ones natural gait when crossing the floor, the interpretative style is just what is. There is no forced effort.
When Parish released his 2016 album "Undertaker Please Drive Slow" on Tzadik Records, it marked a turn in his output. The technical fireworks of his band Ahleuchatistas, and the deep listening and melancholic vibes of his improvised work, combined with a heightened awareness of kinesthetic feel for his instrument, forged a meditative stream-of-consciousness approach to instrumental song interpretation on guitar. It is an approach that draws from everything, the total field of universal music. After years of trying to play different styles, with vary degrees of success, a definitive personal approach emerged, and the trying subsided, and the music flowed.
This style, or no-style, of playing has only become more free and flowing in the years since Undertaker. So much so that Parish could now comfortably try his hand at a much larger selection of repertoire and trust that the music would flow, a story would be told, and feelings would be felt.
So, he hit record and documented his takes on the 147 songs of Fireside Book of Folk Songs.

WeSC is a premium brand born in the streets of Stockholm, offering innovative and contemporary clothing and accessories. They were looking for an original way to launch their headphone line in Belgium.
We transformed an art space into a 2 month experience store. The colourful WeSC headphones were presented on a structure of cardboard 'Bloxes'. People were invited to test the headphones at the various custom made music hubs. To emphasize the temporary character of this pop-up we developed modular packaging. Buying a pair of headphones resulted in taking a piece of the cardboard store home, meaning the store would disappear after all headphones were sold.
Complete implementation including organizing various in-store events ranging from drinks and workshops to concerts & photo exhibits. We asked musicians, creatives and DJ's to create playlists which people could explore online and in store on Imac booths. We've set in-store drinks and afterparties with Vice Magazine. Furthermore we collaborated with Postr Magazine to create a special 'sound' edition.
"The brothers and their team set up this fresh unique pioneering retail concept (this was 2009!) with a powerful creative force. Till today we use this as a store experience reference."
