Natalia Vasilyeva	 Feb 24, 2020 0
The Evolution of Advertising in Video Gaming Marketers are always looking for new ways to engage with audiences and each new medium has brought with it new opportunities for advertisers. Product placement has long existed in Hollywood movies but was rarely seen in gaming.

But one of the reasons advertisers held back from active product placement in games was the lack of…

What's Happening with AdTech Today: Thoughts of the CEO Who Spent Ten Years in the Industry
Anton Ruin	 Nov 21, 2019 0
Ten years ago, I debuted as the CEO of an ad server. At that time, my Epom team broke into the AdTech industry with a technology that allowed advertisers, publishers, and ad networks to make revenue with online ads. Lots of things have changed since then. I still remember the early 2010s as the heydey of ad networks, affiliate agencies, and delayed analytics. I was lucky to witness the rise of native ads and the birth of the first demand-side platforms. Then the ubiquitous obsession with app monetization arose. AdTech was…

As a teenager in the 1950s, Nyree Dawn Porter inspired her ballet students by painting graceful dancers directly onto the living room walls of her family's Napier home, where she held lessons.
Now you can follow Nyree's journey to international success in theatre, film and television when you visit the exhibition 'Nyree Dawn Porter: From Local Stage to Global Stardom'.
Later in her career, Nyree received an OBE for services to TV and Film, and was the subject of a This is Your Life episode in England. She continued performing right up until her unexpected death in 2001, at the age of 61.
The exhibition showcases Nyree's preserved paintings, photos and newspaper clippings of her success along with excerpts from the original Forsyte Saga on screen. Costumes inspired by Nyree's paintings are available for people of all ages to dress up and strike a pose.


We were approached by Aberdeen Riding Club to look at the proposed new site for their replacement facility out at Nether Anguston near Peterculter. We were appointed to obtain planning permission, building warrant and assist with the tender stage. Thereafter we were involved throughout the construction stage to work closely with the contractor to delver the project in a tight timeline. The new facility offers a large indoor riding arena surrounded by the stabling for approx 50 horses. Within the site there is a large outdoor riding school, hacking, grazing and ample parking for the users.


A local equine veterinarian's farmland is restored to its original beauty thanks to the Oklahoma Energy Resources Board's (OERB) well site cleanup program.
Dr. Larry Powers purchased 160 acres in Lincoln County near Wellston about 10 years ago to raise cattle and horses. He and his family enjoy a beautiful country setting but the property came with one snag, an old abandoned pipeline. For years, Powers simply worked around the eyesore until one day a client, who happened to be an OERB board member, told Powers to call the OERB. He submitted the site to be cleaned up and once the line was tested and found to be dead, the process to clean up the site began.
Removing the pipeline and other debris, which took about a week to complete, has not only made his land more beautiful but also safer for his livestock. That's something he takes seriously as a veterinarian.
"Old pipes and structures could be hazardous," he said.
Powers says he would encourage anyone to call the OERB for a cleanup.
"It was a really good deal," Powers said.
For more information, contact Liz Caldwell, Environmental Coordinator at lcaldwell@oerb.com or 1-800-664-1301 and visit oerb.com/well-site-clean-up.
The OERB was created in 1993 by the Oklahoma Legislature and is funded through a voluntary one tenth of 1 percent assessment on oil and natural gas producers and royalty owners. The agency's purpose is to conduct environmental restoration of abandoned well sites and to educate Oklahomans about the importance of the petroleum industry.

Articles / Less is More: As Predicted, City Cars Thrive in the UK's Resurgent Car Market
Less is More: As Predicted, City Cars Thrive in the UK's Resurgent Car Market
By: Neil King 03/22/2014
The UK new car market bucked the trend of falling car sales in Western Europe in 2013, recording growth of 10.8%, compared to a 2.1% decline in the region. However, this pales into insignificance compared to the doubling of sales of City cars in the UK over a period of just two years, tying in exactly with numerous trends that Euromonitor has previously identified as resulting in increased demand for smaller cars in the UK.
Although the Pace of Recovery will Slow, the Outlook for the UK Car Market Remains Positive
Fuelled by a combination of economic recovery, low interest rates, PPI payouts, rising consumer confidence and attractive finance deals (especially in the form of PCP), this comes as little surprise. Nevertheless, the fact remains that new car sales in 2013 were still 5.8% lower in 2013 than in pre-crisis 2007 and 12.2% lower than in the record sales year of 2003. The outlook for demand is broadly positive (although market growth will be far more subdued in 2014, sales are likely to fall in 2015 and demand is not expected to return to the peak level of 2003 before 2020). Underpinning this expected long-term recovery of new car sales is a return to consistent GDP growth over 2% from 2016, which is typically the threshold which supports increasing car sales in the UK. Furthermore, there is also a return to growth in the number of households with annual disposable income over US$25,000, the development of which new car sales have tracked historically.
New Registrations of Passenger Cars and Households with Annual Disposable Income Over US$25,000 in the United Kingdom, 1990-2020
Source: Euromonitor International
Demand for City Cars is Positively Booming
In a press release on 6 March 2014, the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders) reported that, on a rolling 12-month basis, "the new car market grew 17.4% between February 2012 (1.94 million registrations) and February 2014 (2.28 million). While the Supermini segment recorded solid growth over the period, volumes in the Mini segment almost doubled, helped by the introduction of new models. The small car market has been supported by motorists looking to reduce running costs, as well as increased diversification of products and advances in levels of comfort and safety."
The doubling of sales in the Mini (aka City) car segment over just two years is of particular note, not only because of the sheer explosion in demand but because it accounted for a record share of the market in 2013. Aside from new model introductions and the benefits of reduced running costs, this surge in demand tallies with numerous trends identified as positives for small car demand in the UK. These include urbanisation, an ageing population (although immigration is boosting the younger population), increasing female employment and single-person households, shorter distances travelled by car, a more cautious attitude towards debt and booming online retailing. In this context, I still maintain my previous prediction that city and small car segments combined will account for as much as 45% of new car sales in the UK by 2020 – up from 39.5% in 2013.
Coming back to online retailing, there is even a new initiative for underground stations in London to act as collection points for goods ordered online. This is yet another retailing solution that means smaller households no longer require the interior and boot space offered by larger cars. With this in mind, more manufacturers should surely offer buyers of smaller cars access to a larger car when required, an initiative pioneered by BMW for consumers that buy an i3.

Pieter Hugo has garnered critical acclaim for his series of portraits and landscapes, each of which explore a facet of his native South Africa and neighboring African countries, including the film sets of Nigeria's Nollywood, toxic garbage dumps in Ghana, and sites of mass execu- tions in Rwanda, as well as albinos, the Hyena Men of Nigeria, honey collectors, and garbage scavengers. Kin, focuses instead on the photographer's family, his community, and himself. Writer John Mahoney characterizes it as the artist's first major work to focus exclusively on his personal experience in his native South Africa, a place defined by centuries of political, cultural, and racial tensions and contradictions. Hugo describes his series as "an engagement with the failure of the South African colonial experiment and my sense of being 'colonial driftwood.' South Africa is such a fractured, schizophrenic, wounded, and problematic place... How does one take responsibility for history, and to what extent should one try? How do you raise a family in such a conflicted society?" This work attempts to address these questions and reflect on the nature of conflicting personal and collective narratives.

John Greenleaf Whittier and Oak Knoll
On June 17, 2019 July 5, 2019 By Dan GagnonIn Danvers History, Uncategorized2 Comments
(In the Danvers Herald July 5, 2019)

In April 1876, world-renowned poet John Greenleaf Whittier moved to a mansion house on Summer St. in Danvers. Born in Haverhill in 1807, Whittier was one of the "fireside poets," the first group of American poets that were famous at home and around the world. The group included Whittier, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., and James Russell Lowell. In general these writers explored traditional New England countryside themes, and through their writing sought to bring about social change against injustices of their time, and in particular supported the abolition of slavery.
(The "Fireside Poets." Source: https://archive.org/stream/historyprogresso09sand/historyprogresso09sand#page/n489/mode/1up)
Whittier attended the 1833 convention that founded the American Anti-Slavery Society, of whose importance he later wrote: "I set a higher value on my name as appended to the Anti-Slavery Declaration of 1833 than on the title-page of any book." Prominent in abolitionist and literary circles, he first had his poems published in a Newburyport newspaper whose editor was William Lloyd Garrison. In later years, Garrison went on to become one of the best-known abolitionists as founder of the American Anti-Slavery Society and editor of The Liberator, a leading anti-slavery newspaper that also advocated for women's rights. The two became life-long friends, though they had disagreements about the best tactics for the abolitionist movement.
(The first page of a letter Whittier wrote while at Oak Knoll to William Lloyd Garrison. Digital Commonwealth: https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:dv142x13s)
Built in 1842, the house in Danvers to which Whittier moved in 1876 was a stunning Greek Revival-style country mansion. Whittier named it "Oak Knoll" because in front of the house there was a small rise with a grand oak tree upon it. The estate had manicured hedges, rolling lawns, rose gardens, and wild countryside surrounding it. The poet so loved the beautiful nature around his residence that when invited to go on carriage rides to other estates he was known to reply, "We will see nothing more beautiful than what we have at home." After moving to Danvers, Whittier was offered as a gift the lavish Kernwood estate (now the country club) along the Danvers River in Salem. He refused, preferring the beautiful natural surroundings of Oak Knoll.
(Map of Oak Knoll. Historic American Building Survey, 1936, Library of Congress. Note Summer Street along the bottom edge.)
Whittier wrote more than 100 poems while living in Danvers, including the collections The Vision of Echard, and Other Poems (1878) and his last book of poems, At Sundown (1890). There are many of Whittier's manuscripts and early-edition published works in the Danvers Archival Center. In his study, Whittier wrote at a desk from the Haverhill schoolhouse that he attended as a child, which was later donated to the Danvers Historical Society.
One of the best-known poems Whittier wrote at Oak Knoll was "The Witch of Wenham." The poem's theme is the witch-hunt of 1692, which began in what is now Danvers and spread throughout the surrounding towns. The poem reveals Whittier's historical knowledge, and ends with a description of the area near Oak Knoll,
And when once more by Beaver Dam
The meadow-lark outsang,
And once again on all the hills
The early violets sprang,
And all the windy pasture slopes
Lay green within the arms
Of creeks that bore the salted sea
To pleasant inland farms,
The smith filed off the chains he forged,
The jail-bolts backward fell;
And youth and hoary age came forth
Like souls escaped from hell.
While living in Danvers, a steady parade of famous figures came to visit the elder poet and one historian describes these visitors "as pilgrims to a shrine." The Emperor of Brazil Dom Pedro II visited Whittier at Oak Knoll. The Emperor was a man of letters who sponsored education in recently-independent Brazil, and worked to abolish slavery in that land. Another visitor was Dorothea Dix, an activist working for prison reform, and especially to end the practice of incarcerating mentally insane individuals in prisons because there were no other facilities for them. Her work led to the establishment of special hospitals across the country to treat those with mental illness. At her death, Dix was buried with a copy of Whittier's poem "At Last" in her hands.

One of Whittier's visitors who played an unusual role in American history was Samuel J. Tilden, a long-time friend and abolitionist. Whittier was at Oak Knoll in 1876 when newspapers announced that Tilden may or may not have been elected President of the United States. Tilden received the most votes, but due to disputed recounts it was not clear whether he or Rutherford B. Hayes won the required electoral votes. A constitutional crisis ensued, President Grant sent federal troops to secure Washington, DC in case of civil unrest, and in the end a special commission declared Hayes the winner. When Tilden died in 1886, Whittier wrote a poem of remembrance published in a Boston newspaper.
Whittier was particularly respected in his later years as the last of the greatest generation of American poets. On Whittier's 80th birthday Massachusetts Governor Oliver Ames attended a large party with 600 invited guests to honor the luminary. A few years before, in 1885, Whittier was asked to write the inscription on the memorial to Rebecca Nurse, hanged for witchcraft in 1692. He was described at the memorial's dedication as "one of the most eminent and beloved poets of the present age." Whittier died in 1892 while visiting a friend in New Hampshire.
(Whittier's grave, Union Cemetery, Amesbury, Mass.)
When a biographer asked Whittier later in his life whether he considered Oak Knoll or a house he owned in Amesbury as his true home, the poet said of Oak Knoll, "Say, it is my home. I retain my legal residence in Amesbury, and I go there to vote, but my home is at 'Oak Knoll.'"
Oak Knoll was torn down by a developer in 1958. The area of the former estate is now split between the Greenleaf Drive neighborhood and the beautiful marshland of the Greenleaf Open Space Area, preserved as natural land, much the same as it was in Whittier's day.

/**

Kontra is written for modern ES6 capable browsers. If you need to run it in an ES5 browser, you will have to [transpile](https://babeljs.io/) and polyfill needed ES6 features (Assets requires `WeakMap` and `Promise`, Quadtree requires `Set`).

## Download

- Global object [production](https://unpkg.com/kontra@latest/kontra.min.js) and [development](https://unpkg.com/kontra@latest/kontra.js) versions
- ES module [production](https://unpkg.com/kontra@latest/kontra.min.mjs) and [development](https://unpkg.com/kontra@latest/kontra.mjs) versions
- `npm install kontra`
- `yarn add kontra`

## Load

There are a few different ways to load the library depending on how you are going to use it.

### Global Object

Load the library by adding it as a script tag. This will add a global `kontra` object to the page with all Kontra functions and properties.

```html
<script src="path/to/kontra.js"></script>
```

### ES Module Import

Kontra also supports ES modules and exports all API functions, allowing you to import it into your code as well. Import the file `kontra.mjs` and either use the entire `kontra` object or just import the functions you need.

```js
// exclude-tablist
import kontra from 'path/to/kontra.mjs';
```

### Module Bundler

If you're using a module bundler that supports npm dependency resolution (such as Webpack or Parcel), you can import the library directly from the module name. This is the recommended way to create [custom builds](download) of the library.

```js
// exclude-tablist
import kontra from 'kontra';
```

### Web Maker

Want to get started without all the hassle? [Web Maker](https://webmakerapp.com/) has you covered! When you start a new project, select the Kontra Game Engine from the list of predefined templates and you're good to go. Learn more by reading the [Web Maker and JS13k tutorial](https://medium.com/web-maker/js13kgames-jam-with-web-maker-a3389cf2cbb).

## Initialize

Initialize the game by calling [init()](api/core.html#init) to create the drawing context. By default, it will use the first canvas element on the page, but you can also pass it the ID of the canvas or a Canvas element.

The `init()` function returns the canvas and context used for the game.

```js
import { init } from 'kontra';

let { canvas, context } = init();
```

## Create

After the game is initialize, you can create a simple [Sprite](api/sprite.html) and [Game Loop](api/gameLoop.html) in just a few lines of code

@example
* // exclude-code:start
* let { init, Sprite, GameLoop } = kontra;
* // exclude-code:end
* // exclude-script:start
* import { init, Sprite, GameLoop } from 'kontra';
*
* let { canvas } = init();
* // exclude-script:end
*
* let sprite = Sprite({
*   x: 100,        // starting x,y position of the sprite
*   y: 80,
*   color: 'red',  // fill color of the sprite rectangle
*   width: 20,     // width and height of the sprite rectangle
*   height: 40,
*   dx: 2          // move the sprite 2px to the right every frame
* });
*
* let loop = GameLoop({  // create the main game loop
*   update: function() { // update the game state
*     sprite.update();
*
*     // wrap the sprites position when it reaches
*     // the edge of the screen
*     if (sprite.x > canvas.width) {
*       sprite.x = -sprite.width;
*     }
*   },
*   render: function() { // render the game state
*     sprite.render();
*   }
* });
*
* loop.start();    // start the game

When Captain Marvel hits theaters in March, it will be showing fans a time period in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that has just been glimpsed on the big screen.
Some villains will become heroes, like Korath from the first Guardians of the Galaxy film. Although he aided Ronan in his effort to secure the Power Stone, Korath the Pursuer will become one of Carol Danvers' allies in the Starforce.
During a visit to the set of Captain Marvel, actor Djimon Hounsou revealed about his character's relationship with Carol Danvers.
"As far as the story based uniquely on this is concerned. I feel like Carol is the type of person that takes joy at taking the piss at me all the time, cause I am sort of very machine-like, very framed, and driven. I think, the lack of not being so flexible and playful, she takes a piss at that," said Hounsou.
So it sounds like Korath is not much different from his appearance in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, but is not quite a zealot at this point.
While the journey of Korath will play a part in the new movie, it'll also see his leader in Ronan the Accuser, who will undergo some changes in Captain Marvel.
The producer Jonathan Schwartz previously spoke about Ronan's role and how he figures into the new Marvel Studios film.
Addressing the changes made to Ronan's character, Schwartz also compared the Kree Accuser's journey to that of Nick Fury.
Captain Marvel stars Brie Larson (Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Djimon Hounsou (Korath), Lee Pace (Ronan). Ben Mendelsohn, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan (Minn-Erva), Rune Temte, Algenis Perez Soto. McKenna Grace, Kenneth Mitchell (Joseph Danvers), alongside Clark Gregg (Phil Coulson), and Jude Law.
Captain Marvel premieres on March 8th.

Parque La Hormiga
The Parque La Hormiga is the former grounds of the Los Pinos Presidential Residence. It became a kids park in 2002, and later a full-fledged park in 2016. In 2019, Los Pinos became part of the larger Cultural Complex that includes the former residence buildings, gardens, walk ways, and more. This has only really benefited La Hormiga as more visitors to the area have meant more users and support for the park.
The Hormiga name recalls the 19th-century ranch expropriated by President Venustiano Carranza in 1917. In 1934, President Lázaro Cárdenas refused to move into the Chapultepec Castle. as Mexican Presidents had previously done. Taking up residence on the grounds of La Hormiga Ranch, it was he who changed the name to Los Pinos.
Today, it's adjacent to section one of Chapultepec Park. Most people assume it's part of the same park, but along with the rest of Los Pinos, it's technically a part of the Colonia San Miguel Chapultepec to the southeast.
The Parque La Hormiga has no fewer than 18 playgrounds for kids. Many of these are in fenced areas and will restrict entry to adults accompanying kids. The forest, though, covers some 32,000 square meters. It's all just a few minutes north of Metro Constituyentes. Most visitors will arrive from points east in Chapultepec Park.

Discrimination in Beauty Pageants
The trending topic in beauty pageants these days is the issue of allowing the participation of transgender women. Right now it applies specifically to the Miss Universe pageant and this discussion is one that actually started in 2001.
A rumour, started in France and which spread like wildfire at the 2001 Miss Universe contest in Puerto Rico, alleged that Miss France, Elodie Gossuin, was in fact a transgender woman. This turned out to be just that, a rumour, but it led the Miss Universe Organization to change its rules to indicate that only "naturally born women" were allowed to compete. For many years, little else was said about transgender women competing at Miss Universe or any of its national preliminaries.
The rules were changed again in 2012. Jenna Talackova, a transgender woman who had previously competed at the Miss International Queen Pageant, a transgender competition in Thailand, was denied entry into the Miss Universe Canada competition. She filed suit against the Miss Universe Organization, alleging discrimination.
The Miss Universe Pageant announced that Talackova could compete as long as she met "the legal gender recognition requirements of Canada, and the standards established by other international competitions."
The Organization denied the change was a result of the lawsuit and Paula Shugart, President of the Miss Universe Organization, indicated that "the decision to include transgender women in our beauty competitions is a result of our ongoing discussions with GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) and not Jenna's legal representation". Shugart stated further that the Miss Universe Organization has "a long history of supporting equality for all women, and this was something we took very seriously."
Jenna Talackova made the semi-finals at Miss Universe Canada, but did not win the right to compete at Miss Universe. Since then, little else was said about transgender women competing at Miss Universe or any of its national pageants.
All of that changed in 2018. Hot on the tails of Ines Supa becoming the first transgender Playboy Playmate in December 2017, Talleen Abu-Hannah made headlines worldwide as the first transgender woman to compete for the title of Miss Israel.
The gorgeous Talleen was a huge favourite and was expected to become the first transgender woman to compete at Miss Universe. She made Top 4 but did not win the title of Miss Universe Israel.
Then came Angela Ponce, a successful and well-known Spanish model, who in 2015 competed for the title of Miss World Spain (at the concentration she was in fact the roommate of Mireia Lalaguna, who would go on to win the competition and later the Miss World crown).
Angela joined Miss Universe Spain 2018 and this time she did win the major price. We think that Angela made history as the first transgender woman to win the right to compete at Miss Universe (We say think because for all we know, transgender women may have already competed without anyone, or just a few, knowing).
Angela became and continues to be a trending topic worldwide and views on transgender women competing in beauty pageants conceived for cisgender women are very polarised. Various former Miss Universe and national titleholders have expressed their opposition to the opening of their pageants to transgender women (one has to wonder though, why they did not come forward when the rules were changed, or in the six years since, if their opposition is a matter of principle).
We have to ask though, what is the principle at hand? That depends on how you view beauty pageants. Are they a competition or a, rather elaborate, job application process?
As a competition, a beauty pageant is an inherently discriminatory activity because it is not open to everyone. Furthermore, it is a discriminatory activity that we have accepted for many decades. On top of that, groups that were excluded adapted by creating their own, exclusive competitions.
Opening up a competition to one of those excluded groups, does not make it less discriminatory, just more inclusive. The door is still open for another excluded group to challenge its right to participate. Unless you open that competition to everyone, it will always remain discriminatory.
The Miss Universe Pageant started because one Miss America refused to model Catalina swimwear. Catalina then decided to create another process through which to select a spokesmodel and hence Miss Universe was born. This makes the contest in fact a job application process. Like in every job application, rules were set by the organisation creating that job.
We know that all of us do not fill the requirements to apply for the job of CEO of a multinational corporation and we would not feel discriminated by this fact.
We also know that we do not all meet the conditions to apply for the job of Miss Universe. Are we justified in feeling discriminated by that fact?
What do you think? How do you see beauty pageants?
The real question is how do beauty pageants see themselves. Beauty pageants have become apologetic about their own nature when what they should do is define what it is they really are and what it is they want to be and act accordingly. Otherwise, the issue of discrimination in beauty pageants will continue to be a mountain with no top.

Garzelli's feat. Basso and Arroyo perform feats of their own.
PLAN DE CORONES (Trento), 25 May 2010 - Stefano Garzelli takes unexpected control of the extremely difficult inclines of the time trial from San Vigilio di Marebbe to Plan de Corones, the 16th stage of the Giro d'Italia. The Varese native crosses the finish line before Cadel Evans and Frenchman John Gadret while Ivan Basso (sixth) shoots forward to second place in the general classifcation behind Spanish racer David Arroyo, who keeps his pink jersey with a 2'27" lead on Basso.
A TERRIBLE CLIMB 12 kilometres and 900 metres of a terrifying climb, with 5.3 kilometres of dirt roads and a maximum incline of 24%. The route is a ski trail, but uphill, obviously. After the initial sparks, with an excellent result by the Polish racer Szmyd (Liquigas "drag man"), the hard-hitters climb up on stage. Everyone is expecting a time-distance duel between Evans and Garzelli with an eye on Arroyo to see how much the two men in classification are able to gain on the pink jersey. But then the fantastic trial of Stefano Garzelli appears out of the blue: the Varese native, with an absolutely spectacular second half, he registers 41'28" that is unattainable for the others. Vinokourov, who is not racing on his own turf, carries a delay of 1'37". Sastre arrives with a 2'31" delay on Garzelli, notwithstanding Ferrari racer Alonso is cheering him on from his motorcycle. He comes in 19th and may very well be kissing the podium good-bye. Scarponi, one of the most disappointing: the difficult final inclines, well suited to his talents, force him to slow down to the point of losing 1'07". Cunego has a 2'10" delay on the Varese native and ends up in 15th place.
GARZELLI OUT OF REACH. Garzelli is out of reach, even for the most favoured among his rivals, Evans and Basso. Evans is pedaling on his feet - as usual - while Basso is seated, calm and composed. Both are racing with the same artillery for the very first kilometres but then the Aussie gets the upper hand and closes his trial at 42'10" (a 42" delay on the time trial leader) while Basso loses some territory along the fiercer inclines and concludes his trial in 6th place with a 28" behind the world champion and 1'10" behind Garzelli. The young racer Porte holds his own pretty well but he loses 2'17" as well as second place in the classification (Basso is now in second place). Pink jersey Arroyo does even better: the Spanish racer registers a delay of 1'20 at the intermediate time mark to then gain speed and close at 43'44", curbing the damage and keeping his first place in the general classification. Basso is now right behind him at 2'27", Porte steps down to third place at 2'36" and Evans is fourth at 3'09".
UPHILL ARRIVAL After today's time trials, tomorrow the Giro is transferring from Val Pusteria to Val di Sole with a 173 kilometre race from Brunico to Peio Terme. The first portion is all slightly downhill, but after Bolzano the lengthy climb (18 kilometres) begins towards the Palade Pass (1st category KoM), that features a maximum incline of 16%. There is a long downhill from the peak preceding the final climb of 9.5 kilometres, not particularly selective, to Peio Terme.

Manzano Mesa Child Development Center Pre-K is located at 801 Elizabeth SE. The main cross roads are Southern and Elizabeth near Central and Eubank. We are located on the grounds of Manzano Mesa Elementary School. As part of our transition plan for children who will be going to kindergarten the following year, we communicate and collaborate with the elementary staff often. We are invited to have library days in the school, students from the fourth grade class come to read to our children, we eat in the cafeteria towards the end of the year and we participate in many school events. Manzano Mesa Multi-Generation Center is nearby and we occasionally walk to the site. They have a water park which we enjoy in the summertime. Currently we are in the self-study phase of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Accreditation process.
Our yearly program begins in August and ends the following July. Our calendar schedule is not the same as the Albuquerque Public Schools because our child development center is part of the City of Albuquerque's Division of Child and Family Development Services. All children that are enrolled in Pre-K attend our year-round program. We can offer parents who are working or going to school wrap-around childcare services before or after Pre-K sessions, which are paid for by families on a sliding fee scale. Wrap-around services can begin at 7:00 A.M. and end at 5:30 P.M. to accommodate parents' working or school schedules. Our Pre-K program strives to provide quality care and education in a safe learning environment that is child-centered with a developmentally appropriate curriculum which includes early literacy, thinking, reasoning, problem solving, fine and gross motor development, language and communication skills, creative development and social-emotional competency.

Battle of the Ten Kings
From Jatland Wiki
The Battle of the Ten Kings (IAST|dāśarājñá) (दाश्राज्ञ-युद्ध) is a battle alluded to in Mandala 7 of the Rigveda (hymns 18, 33 and 83.4-8). It is a battle between Aryans (an "internecine war", as the 1911 Britannica puts it, as opposed to the more frequent accounts of Aryans fighting Dasyus), taking place as Puru tribes, allied with other tribes of the Punjab and goaded by the royal sage Vishvamitra, invade the country of the Trtsu (Bharata) king Sudas, and are defeated in an epic battle through the inspired power of the priestly sage Vasishtha, the composer of the hymns. Karl Friedrich Geldner in his 1951 translation of the Rigveda considers the hymns as "obviously based on an historical event", even though any details save for what is preserved in the hymns have been lost.
1 The tribes
3 The battle
The tribes
see - Rigvedic tribes
Trtsu: The tribe of King Sudas.
Alinas: They were probably one of the tribes defeated by Sudas at the Dasarajna,[1] and it was suggested that they lived to the north-east of Nurestan, because the land was mentioned by the Chinese pilgrim Hiouen Thsang. (Macdonell and Keith, Vedic Index, 1912, I, 39)
Anu: They were said to be a dynasty that lived in Kashmir.
Bhrigus: Probably the priestly family descended from Sage Bhrigu. They are related to the composition of the Atharva Veda.
Bhalanas: One of the tribes that fought against Sudas in the Dasarajna battle. Some scholars have argued that the Bhalanas lived in East Kabulistan, and that the Bolan Pass derives its name from the Bhalanas.
Dasa, Dasyu: A term labelled to all Iranian tribes that were in opposition to King Sudas, cognate to the Iranian ethnonym Dahae (also known as Dahan Scythians). In the Rig Veda, Dasyu refers to an inimical people and is generally a term of denigration.
Druhyus: From them came Gandhari, who gave his name to a region he settled in the Gandhara Valley.
Matsya, people living in Alwar-Bharatpur region.
Parsu: The Parsus have been connected with the Persian people, though this view is disputed by some.[2] This is based on the evidence of an Assyrian inscription from 844 BC referring to the Pesians as Parsu, and the Behistun Inscription of Darius I of Persia referring to Parsa as the origin of the Persians.[3]
Purus: Also the mother tribe of King Sudas. The Bharatas (Trtsu) were a clan among the Puru tribe. The Prithus were also a clan from the Puru tribe, judging from Arjuna's Pandava clan descending from the Kaurava clan in the Bhagavad Gita, which in turn descends from the Pauravas, but Krishna also referred to Arjuna as Pārtha (descendant of the Prthu clan.)
Panis: Also known as the Parni, a Scythian tribe which later founded the Parthian dynasty of the Persian Empire.
Hymns 7.18 and 7.83 are dedicated to Indra and Indra paired with Varuna, respectively, thanking the deity for helping Sudas defeat his enemies, while hymn 7.33 is addressed to Vasishtha himself, praising him for moving the gods to take Sudas' side by his prayers (Indra preferred Vasishtha's prayers over those of Pasadyumna, son of Vayata, 7.33.2) and addressing him as a son of Mitra and Varuna (7.33.11). The hymn makes sure to stress the importance of the priests (Vasistha is named along with Parashara and Satayatu) in winning Indra's favour, even though they were not present on the battlefield but invoked Indra "from at home" (grhāt, 7.18.21)
The situation leading up to the battle is described in 7.18.6: The Turvasas and Yaksus, together with the Matsya tribe (punned upon by the rishi by comparing them to hungry fish (matsya) flocking together) appear and ally themselves with the Bhrigus and the Druhyus. Their confederation was further increased by the Pakthas, the Bhalanas, the Alinas, the Shivas and the Visanins (7.18.7), while the Trtsus relied solely on the help of the "Arya's Comrade" (Aryasya Sadhamad), Indra.
The "ten kings" are mentioned in both 7.33 (verses 3 and 5) and 7.83 (verses 6, 7 and 8), but not in the most extensive account of 7.18 so that it is not made explicit how this number was broken down: Sudas himself is not to be included in the number (the Trtsus are surrounded by ten kings in 7.33.5), and if of the tribes mentioned in 7.18, the Turvasas, Yaksus, Matsyas, Bhrgus, Druhyus, Pakthas, Bhalanas, Alinas, Shivas and Visanins are counted, the full number is reached, leaving the Anavas (7.18.14), the Ajas and Sigrus (7.18.19) and the "21 men of both Vaikarna tribes" (7.18.11) without a king, and implying that Bheda (7.18.19, also mentioned 7.33.3 and 7.83.4, the main leader slain by Sudas), Shimyu (7.18.5), and Kavasa (7.18.12) are the names of individual kings. The Bharatas are named among the enemies in 7.33 but not in 7.18.
The battle itself took place on the banks of the Parusni. The warriors of Sudas are described as white-robed (shvityanca), wearing hair-knots on the right side of their heads (daksinataskaparda), and as pious (dhiyamjinvasa), flying banners (krtádhvaj) , while the ten kings are impious and do not worship (áyajyava). It appears (7.18.5) that Sudas was forced to retreat, and managed to cross the Parusni safely, while his foes, trying to pursue, were scattered in the crossing and either drowned or slaughtered by Sudas' men, Sudas himself slaying Bheda:
7.18.9 As to their goal they sped to their destruction: they sought Parusni; e'en the swift returned not.
Indra abandoned, to Sudas the manly, the swiftly flying foes, unmanly babblers.
7.18.9 They went like kine unherded from the pasture, each clinging to a friend as chance directed.
They who drive spotted steeds, sent down by Prsni, gave ear, the Warriors and the harnessed horses. (trans. Griffith)
Kavasa and the Druhyu were "overwhelmed by Indra" while still in the water (7.18.10). The slain of the Anavas and the Druhyus are numbered 6,666 (7.18.14).
In the aftermath of the battle, the Bharatas came under the dominion of Sudas (7.33.6), the Ajas, the Sigrus and the Yaksus likewise pay tribute (7.18.20), and Indra destroyed the seven castles of the enemies, and gave the treasures of Anu's son (or "the foreign man") to Sudas (7.18.13). 7.18.17 stresses that this was a victory against heavy odds, compared to a goat defeating a lion.

Opening of Destroyer & Frigate centre of specialisation marks milestone in Portsmouth Naval Base transformation
22 Oct 2014	2014-10-22T02:00:00+02:00
A major milestone in modernising Portsmouth Naval Base has been met with the opening of the recently refurbished 15 Dock Centre of Specialisation, the first of four new centres within the base for future support to Royal Navy ships for global operations.
The new facility, opened by Rear Admiral Ian Jess, will be used for the upkeep and maintenance of Type 45 Destroyers and Type 23 Frigates and marks the start of a 15 year transformation programme to modernise Portsmouth Naval Base, including preparations for the Royal Navy's two new Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers.
The arrival of HMS Queen Elizabeth by early 2017 has provided a catalyst for investment in the infrastructure of Portsmouth Naval Base. Investment requirements over the next 15 years have been captured within the 'Portsmouth 2030 Programme' which details a future vision for Portsmouth Naval Base.
The centres of specialisation have been the product of work undertaken by BAE Systems Maritime Services working in partnership with the Naval Base Command Portsmouth (NBCP) team, to capture infrastructure and facility requirements for both current and future classes of ship.
The new 15 Dock Centre of Specialisation will provide improved accommodation and amenities for Royal Navy and BAE Systems staff, new co-located storage facilities and an upgraded dock, complete with a new mobile harbour crane and a refurbished caisson. Re-modelling of the facility has also provided the opportunity to reduce Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) risks, by separating staff from plant and machinery, and controlling access to the site during operations.
Commodore Jeremy Rigby, Commander of Portsmouth Naval Base said: "This is tangible evidence of the bright future for Portsmouth Naval Base. HMS Westminster will be the first ship to benefit from the transformation of the dock, arriving for her maintenance and upkeep period in early November. As well as a full survey of the hull, modification of machinery and repair work she will also be fitted with the state-of-the-art Artisan radar. This work alone involves a significant number of BAE Systems workers across a 14 month refit period. The opening of the refurbished 15 Dock is a key milestone for the Naval Base as we count down the days to the arrival of the new aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth."
Rear Admiral Ian Jess, Assistant Chief of Naval Staff (Support) said: "Across all three of our Naval Bases we are investing in facilities to support a modern Navy deployed on operations throughout the world. I am therefore delighted to open the new 15 Dock complex in Portsmouth today which further demonstrates the increased investment we are providing to our Naval Bases and commitment to their future."
James Davis, Naval Base Services Director for BAE Systems Maritime Services said: "Creating Centres of Specialisation for delivery of Ship Support represents a key element of the Portsmouth 2030 programme. This is an example of what we mean when we say that we're 'building a modern naval base for a modern navy'. Completing the refurbishment and upgrade of '15 Dock and 2 Complex', in time for delivery of HMS Westminster's Upkeep Project, signifies the start of this exciting programme."
As well as the 15 Dock facilities, under the transformation programme there will be three other Centres of Specialisation created and developed on the naval base which will be for the Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers, Fleet Time Engineering for Type 45 Destroyers and Type 23 Frigates and an improved Mine Counter Measures complex.
For the Aircraft Carriers facility, significant investment is being made in the Western area of the naval base. This ranges from jetty improvements and power upgrades to dredging and navigation aids which will support the new vessels. In addition to refurbishing and upgrading Locks, Docks and Jetties, the Centres of Specialisation programme will includes the provision of upgraded accommodation, catering facilities and localised sports facilities.
These significant levels of investment coming into Portsmouth Naval Base are underpinned by the recently signed MSDF (Maritime Support Delivery Framework) contract, a £600 million contract to manage Portsmouth Naval Base and support global Royal Navy operations for the next five years. This partnering agreement between BAE Systems, the Royal Navy and the Ministry of Defence provides the potential to deliver significant benefits to the Ministry of Defence through the incorporation of contract enhancements for reduced cost and improved efficiencies and performance whilst maintaining operational availability.

Cristiano's Return To United Confirmed Heaping Pressure On Boss Solskjær
Cristiano Ronaldo - Manchester United return via official @ManUtd twitter
Manchester United have confirmed the signing of 36-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo on a two-year deal from Juventus with the option to extend for a further year.
The Portugese veteran scored 118 goals in 292 games during his first spell at Old Trafford and says he "can't wait" to play in front of the United fans again with the club that holds a "special place" in his heart.
Cristiano's sensational return to Manchester United will increase the pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjær to lead the club to major titles. Solskjær's role as United boss since 2018 has been conspicous by a lack of titles and silverware.
United finished second last season and after adding Jadon Sancho, Raphaël Varane and now Ronaldo, the pressure is manifold. Their net spend is greater than that of any other Premier League club and they may yet add another midfielder this window. Over the past five seasons United have spent a net £500m.
The five-time Ballon D'or winner, has won over 30 major trophies, including five UEFA Champions League titles, four FIFA Club World Cups, seven league titles in England, Spain and Italy, and the UEFA European Championship for his native Portugal.
Cristiano Ronaldo said: "Manchester United is a club that has always had a special place in my heart, and I have been overwhelmed by all the messages I have received since the announcement on Friday. I cannot wait to play at Old Trafford in front of a full stadium and see all the fans again. I'm looking forward to joining up with the team after the international games, and I hope we have a very successful season ahead."

Still, scientists involved in the dating of fossils and artifacts should retain their freedom to date using the techniques they see fit to use. These websites are those seeking the perfect match, but not finding them anywhere.
If a fossil is found, it means it is organic in nature, and thus has or will have contained C-14 atoms.
By using the known decay rate of C-14 as a reference and working out how much of the fossil's composition consists of C-14 and how much of it consists of N-14, they can approximate the age.
Relative dating is the technique that attempts to roughly determine the age of a fossil using its position or location in relation to other fossils or remains in nearby strata (hence the name, "relative") In other words, to determine the age of a fossil using relative dating, one would look at the stratum the fossil was found in. In fact, it may contain coal or fossil fuels - which take, at the very least, thousands of years to form - that now appear near the very top!
Then, one would compare the fossil's position in the stratum to the position of other nearby index fossils or remains. Such an inconsistency would, logically, confuse geologists in the future if they had no prior knowledge of the St. It is known that volcanic eruptions, such as the one at St. Not only that, but earthquakes and floods can also sometimes shift and mix strata and sediments.
But what about inorganic objects, such as, say, stone tablets, or rocks?
Some of these objects also contain a radioactive isotope. This radioactive isotope is uranium-238, and has a half-life of approximately 4.47 billion years (4 470 000 000 years).
The term used to define the amount of time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms, such as C-14, in a body or object to decay fully is known as a "half-life." The half-life of C-14 is approximately 5 730 years.
This means that, after 5 730 years, roughly half of the radioactive C-14 atoms in a decomposing organic body will have decayed into nitrogen-14 atoms. That is, after two half-lives, 100% of the C-14 atoms will not have decayed into N-14 atoms. To put it simply, if one were to draw the decay rate of C-14 on a line chart, it would not be a straight, diagonal line. Scientists can use decay rates to, very roughly, determine the age of a fossil or artifact.
For example, in decomposing organic bodies - such as an animal carcass - carbon-14, an isotope of carbon, is present.

Heavy Rain in Northeastern US as Tropical Storm Henri Makes Landfall
Parts of the northeastern United States braced for more heavy rains and the potential for flooding Monday as the storm that made landfall as Tropical Storm Henri slowly moved across the region. The bulk of the rain overnight was located over New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The National Hurricane Center expects the center of the storm, now downgraded to a tropical depression, to drift a short distance to the east during the day Monday before eventually making it back out over the Atlantic Ocean by Tuesday morning. Forecasters said total rainfall amounts across much of the region would be between 7 and 15 centimeters, with some locally higher amounts. The storm made landfall Sunday in the state of Rhode Island, and knocked out power to more than 130,000 homes in that state, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York. President Joe Biden said Sunday he had already approved emergency declarations for Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York, and that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had resources such as generators, food and water positioned in the region to help those in need. "We don't know the full extent of the storm's impact today, but we are acting to prepare for and prevent damage as much as possible, and to speed help to affected communities so they can recover as quickly as possible," Biden said. Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee spoke of the need to get electricity service restored with warm temperatures forecast in the coming days. "We know that that's an issue and that's why getting power restored is critical for the health and safety of our residents, our economy, and our small businesses to make sure that they're operating," McKee said. Some information for this report came from the Associated Press.

Hercule Maximilien Sforza, en italien Ercole Massimiliano Sforza, né le  à Milan et décédé officiellement le  à Paris, fut duc de Milan, en Lombardie.

Biographie

Maximilien était le premier fils du duc Ludovic Sforza (1452-1508) et de Béatrice d'Este (1475-1497), — elle-même fille d'Hercule I d'Este (1431-1505), duc de Ferrare, de Modène et de Reggio d'Émilie, et d'Éléonore de Naples (1450-1493).Maximilien eut un frère, François, de deux ans son cadet et quelques demi-frères et demi-sœurs, nés pour la majeure partie avant le mariage de ses parents.Sa mère, Béatrice, mourut lors de la naissance d'un enfant mort-né, le .

En 1500, son père Ludovic est évincé du duché de Milan par le roi de France Louis XII et meurt en exil en mai 1508.Maximilien devient l'héritier de la couronne ducale au début de l'année 1512 après le décès, le 17 janvier, du fils de Jean Galéas, Francesco. Cet enfant, né en 1491 et appelé il Duchetto (« le petit Duc »), avait trois ans lorsque son père mourut en octobre 1494. Faisant fi du droit de succession directe, son oncle Ludovic se fit nommer duc en ses lieu et place.

Le départ des Français
Pour contrer les appétits territoriaux de Louis XII qui cherche à étendre ses possessions italiennes vers la Vénétie et dans le but de chasser les Français hors d'Italie, le pape Jules II avait organisé, le , avec Venise et les Espagnols de Naples, une sainte Ligue à laquelle vont adhérer les cantons suisses menés par l'évêque de Sion Matthieu Schiner, ainsi que l'Angleterre.En dépit de la bataille de Ravenne, gagnée le  par les troupes françaises, les 18 000 soldats suisses déferlent sur la Lombardie et parviennent à en chasser les Français au mois de juin. Le 20, Ottaviano Sforza, évêque de Lodi, prend possession de la cité de Milan au nom de Maximilien.

Le duc
Maximilien devient donc le neuvième duc de Milan ainsi il est accueilli par sa cité et intronisé le .Son retour sur le trône ducal coûte cependant « cher » au duché. Les Suisses reçoivent, en remerciement, les cités de Lugano, Locarno ainsi que le val d'Ossola. L'alliance des Trois ligues, formée par des habitants des Grisons, occupe la Valteline et les comtés de Bormio et de Chiavenna.Les Suisses vont se charger du gouvernement du duché de Milan et Maximilien va devenir un pantin entre leurs mains.

Les hostilités en Italie du Nord n'en sont pas finies pour autant. Le pape Jules II meurt en février 1513, remplacé par Léon X. Les Vénitiens quittent la sainte Ligue et, dans l'espoir de conquérir Bergame, Brescia et Crema, font alliance avec la France le .En mai 1513, l'armée française, commandée par Louis de La Trémoille et Jacques de Trivulce, passe les Alpes, envahit la Lombardie et met le siège devant Novare où est enfermé Maximilien. Le 6 juin, a lieu la bataille de l'Ariotta où les Suisses, venus au secours de l'armée milanaise, battent les Français. Le 26 juillet, Maximilien peut rentrer à Milan et, sur la fin de l'année 1513, l'armée française retourne en France.L'année 1514 sera une année de tranquillité pour le duché de Milan et les artistes vont s'adonner à la reconstruction et aux réparations des dommages infligés aux édifices par la guerre.

Le retour des Français
Le , le roi de France Louis XII meurt à Paris.

Son successeur est son cousin germain, François I, descendant également de Louis I d'Orléans et de Valentine Visconti qui sont ses arrière-grands-parents. Ses prétentions sont doubles car il a épousé Claude, la fille de Louis XII, qui est aussi arrière-petite-fille de Louis d'Orléans et de Valentine. À peine sur le trône, il se met à la tête d'une armée pour faire valoir ses droits sur le duché de Milan.

Le , le pape fonde une nouvelle ligue réunissant, outre les États pontificaux, l'Empire, la couronne d'Aragon, la Suisse et Milan. Le 5 avril, la France et Venise renouvellent leur alliance de mars 1513.

Le , le chef de l'armée milanaise, Prospero Colonna est capturé sans combat par une petite troupe de cavaliers français, emmenée par le maréchal La Palisse à Villafranca au Piémont.

Puis, les 13 et 14 septembre, a lieu la bataille de Marignan. Après des engagements acharnés, l'arrivée des Vénitiens, sous le commandement de Bartolomeo d'Alviano, transforme ces combats indécis en une terrible défaite pour Matthieu Schiner et ses troupes suisses qui perdent  hommes. Les survivants rentrent chez eux en Suisse, emmenant le jeune frère du duc, François qui va résider à Innsbruck sous la garde de l'empereur Maximilien .Les Français entrent dans Milan le 17 septembre et Maximilien se rend le 4 octobre.  entre dans son nouveau duché le 11 octobre accompagné du duc de Savoie Charles III et du marquis de Montferrat Guillaume IX qui lui ont fait allégeance.La capitulation est consommée et Maximilien est exilé en France avec une rente annuelle de  écus.

La fin de vie
Maximilien meurt à Paris, âgé de 37 ans, le .

Un doute subsiste sur sa mort effective à cette date. D'aucuns prétendent qu'il devint moine de l'abbaye de Saint-Germain-des-Prés sous le nom de Celestino da Olgiate et qu'il y mourut en 1552.

Q: Getting MSI GT70 GT60 ONC LEDs on SteelSeries keyboard working? I have an MSI GT70 ONC laptop. The laptop comes with steelseries keyboard that has LEDs in the keys. On windows 7 I can use change the LEDs to light up any colour.
I would like to know how to find out if there is a driver for my keyboard?
If you need more information just tell me the terminal commands.

A: Was looking for this myself and stumbled upon this link. Before following those instructions though, make sure you have run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

Depending on your Node.js installation, use either:
sudo nodejs server.js

Or if you installed Node.js from source:
sudo node server.js

This works on my MSI GT60-2OC. It is a little cumbersome to configure, but not too bad once you get it set up. After getting it running, you can create different files for different lighting options. All of the options are described here.
EDIT: Discovered something new. I believe the quickbar is controlled by the UEFI bios. Originally I wasn't using UEFI in 13.04 and the bar didn't work at all. Now I am using UEFI in 14.04 and I can use some of the buttons including the keyboard backlight button. Using the button cycles between on/game mode/off for me. Using this nodejs program will save the setting you choose and the button will work for that profile until you change it again with nodejs.

A: You can try this program
https://github.com/blackwolf-70/stseries-light
It is using libhidapi library and Qt4.8
The following are the packages required for this script to work.
libusb-dev
libusb-1.0.0-dev
libhidapi-hidraw0
libhidapi-libusb0
libhidapi-dev

I have tested this in GE72-6QD Apache Pro with Ubuntu 15.10 and found to be perfectly working.

A: With Ubuntu 18.04 LTS you can install a command line following the steps indicated here :
https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/18.04/ubuntu-universe-amd64/msi-keyboard_1.1-2_amd64.deb.html
and the codes used for colors regions and intensity in this command can be seen here :

Interesting, I have two kids. One is extremely positive and the other is a negative thinker. Anything he does his mind goes to what happens if this doesn't work etc. Drives us nuts. For whatever reason his brain goes to the negative side.
Great message today, what's the best thing that can happen … Change our minds change our results.
I am an optimistic person. I see blue skies when there are clouds. I've encountered quite a few people that are abstract in their thinking and it drives me bananas but I have to look at it that there is negative and positive.
Fear is an amazing opponent! You definitely have to make up your mind that you wont be taken down by it. Great video, thank you for sharing!
What's the best thing that can happen when you take a chance?
This post was a real eye-opener.
Entertaining fear has nothing to do with our lives, except for using it to make us a better person and to overcome obstacles.
Ain't that the truth, Sherri!!!
Coming from you, I REALLY appreciate that, Juanita.
There's always a negative and positive, Annabel. There's a difference between cautious and risk aversive.
Best you can do is role model the optimistic side, Mark.
We really do say the most outrageous negative phrases by habit, don't we?
Powerful message Larry!! Once we change our mindset, our results will change!
I used to play the "What If Down" game all the time expecting the worst and you know what? It happened the way it played out in the game.
When I started playing the "What if Up" game and seeing the best, it happened the way it played out in the game!


Western Province and the Sharks (a.k.a Natal) have met only four times in Currie Cup Finals. Western Province have won three, the Sharks one.
The first time they met was only the second time, after 1956, Natal had been in a Final and they weren't supposed to be there. That year there was just one semifinal. The Currie Cup was divided into an A Section and a B Section based on strength. As a sop to the B Section so that they could pretend that they were playing for the Currie Cup, the top two teams in the A Section played the top two teams in the B Section. 1 played 2 (Western Province vs Eastern Transvaal and 2 played one, in this case Orange Free State vs Natal.
Free State were so expected to win that the Free Staters had dished out Final tickets. They sauntered down to Durban and Wynand Claassen's side beat them to make the Final. The Free Staters had to scurry back to Bloemfontein to sort out the tickets and deliver them to Natal.
Western Province beat the Red Devils 53-0 and so the Final was at Newlands.
Natal gave Western Province a real go as their forwards piled in, but those were glory years in the Western Province with powerful packs of forwards. They got the upper hand in the second half and after tall Calla Scholtz raced in for a try Western Province moved away with the match after Natal had led 9-3 at half-time.
For Natal: Hugh Reece Edwards, Des McLean, Greg Hamilton, Ronnie Haarhof, Cobus Aucamp, Gawie Visagie, Craig Jamieson, Wynand Claassen (captain), Derek le Marque, Peter Edmunds, André Botha, Chris Faure. Murray Dawson, Rob Hankinson, Peter Downes.
The rain teemed down at King's Park and people thought it was weather to suit Western Province. It did not. Helped by the slippery weather Natal nullified their scrumming strength and ran out easy winners to take the Currie Cup for the third time.
Every one had played or would play international rugby.
Only Kirsten and Blom did not play international rugby.
Natal were above Western Province on the Currie Cup log and so the Final was in Durban.
Western Province scored three tries to nil, which is a fair summary of the match.
Western Province came from behind to win a thriller and had much to thank Braam van Straaten who equalled Naas Botha's tally of 24 points in a Currie Cup Final.
Forget about who won what in those previous games.
Look at some of the names in there. THAT brings back memories.
Two of my favourite players and two of the worst commentators off all time in there.
Seems like Free State have been Harold Versters from way back already.
Was this before or after he played for the Bulls??
If the answer is the latter, you started poaching then already!!
