Park City, UT, May 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On its most innovative expedition to date, OCEARCH, which has produced critical scientific data related to the sampling and tracking of keystone marine species, will ride the Gulf Stream's drift, for the first time, to expand its research beyond sharks.
The stream is home to a diverse group of species, including large pelagic predatory fishes such as billfish, tunas, and wahoo, and migratory animals such as sharks, sea turtles, whales, rays, dolphins, and seabirds. On this expedition, in addition to tagging and sampling sharks, the OCEARCH team will focus on the greater health of the ocean by incorporating oceanography into studies of the diverse marine creatures of the North Atlantic.
This expedition will include new research projects for OCEARCH, such as "Understanding Origins, Connectivity, and Protective Development of Lionfish Larvae and Juveniles in Pelagic Environments" lead by Dr. Robert Nowicki from Mote Marine Laboratory, and "Sargassum Community Assessment of the South Atlantic Bight" lead by David Kerstetter, Dayna Hunn, and Chris Blanar from Nova Southeastern.
The expedition includes researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, University of Washington, Mote Marine Laboratory, Jacksonville University, SeaWorld, Wildlife Conservation Society's New York Aquarium, Adventure Aquarium, University of Massachusetts, University of North Florida, Auburn University, College of Charleston, Cape Canaveral Scientific, Georgia Aquarium, Georgia Southern University, South Eastern Zoological Alliance for Reproductive Conservation, VithajSafari South Africa, University of Florida, Southampton High School, Long Island Shark Collaboration, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of South Carolina Beaufort, Nova Southeastern University, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University, University of Southern Florida, U.S. Geological Survey, Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center, Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research.
OCEARCH and its team will begin on May 24, 2018, and end on June 19, 2018, kicking off with education and outreach events from May 24-26 in Key West, FL, and fishing will begin on May 27th. There will also be outreach events at the end of the expedition, June 16-19 in Norfolk, VA.
All sharks tagged on the expedition will be fitted with at least one satellite transmitter tag and an acoustic tag. As the sharks' fins break the surface, the satellite tag will transmit their locations. You can follow the sharks tagged during Expedition Gulf Stream by accessing the near-real-time, free online Global Shark Tracker or by downloading the Global Shark Tracker App available for Apple platform.


Maybe you meant to call it an early night. Maybe you didn't need that nightcap. Maybe it was just your turn to lose at hangover roulette.
Yes, you actually can sweat out alcohol.
"The liver can only metabolize a limited amount of alcohol, about a 12-ounce serving of beer or five ounces of wine in an hour," says Indra Cidambi, M.D., founder and medical director of the Center for Network Therapy, which treats patients for addiction issues. "When a person consumes alcohol at a faster rate than what the liver can metabolize, the alcohol accumulates in the blood," says Cidambi.
Your liver then works overtime to break down the alcohol, but what it can't break down will be excreted through your urine, breath, and sweat.
You may produce more sweat than usual during these hungover workouts. As alcohol accumulates in your blood, your blood vessels enlarge. "This, in turn, makes the skin warm and triggers the sweat glands," says Cidambi.
But here's an important point: Sweating alcohol won't help you clear your hangover faster. Cidambi says that your liver processes about 90 percent of the alcohol. Breaking down that booze takes time—especially if you over-imbibed.
Cidambi says that a single instance of drinking so much you smell like a trashed mini bar isn't a sign of a problem. But if you're regularly getting whiffs of whiskey during your Saturday morning workouts, you may want to rethink how much you drink—and why.

Everyone loves a parade! Especially, a Fire Truck Parade, Lights & Sirens!
To have a vehicle that allows you to do your job and get you there safely, you must design the apparatus properly. Also, involve people who drive and use the equipment on the vehicle so they can give input on what may have been lacking on current vehicles or propose new technology they have researched.
According to a fire department fleet operations supervisor in Washington State, they order similar apparatus for ease of staff training and reducing parts inventory. Any new vehicle acquisition must be the best to suit the needs of the fire department in order for them to provide the highest level of protection of life and property for the community they serve.
Fire department fleets include different vehicles serving different purposes, terrains, and diverse climates; meaning one size does not fit all. For example, fire trucks working in mountainous terrain require winches and chainsaws while aerials dealing with primarily firefighting, need ladders and stretchers.
Consequently, with so many variables, writing specifications for these vehicles can be a complicated process including determining the size, length and weight of the truck then all of the additional equipment like hoses, nozzles, auto ejectors, and roll up doors.
Then, there are the accessories for the winter season. Snow chains – automatic and conventional – can be overlooked but are so necessary for those snow and ice-prone areas. The Etna Volunteer Fire Department spec'd Engine 149 to safely traverse the steeply sloped roads of Pittsburgh, PA with all the necessary equipment for extinguishing fires and saving lives at accident scenes.
But, they didn't forget to include Onspot automatic snow chains for when those same roads are covered in snow and ice and they must get where they are needed safely and on time.
Check out the build photos in their photo gallery and see their specs become Engine 149.
To successfully spec a truck of any kind, you must practice due diligence and beware of misleading tactics. Your new vehicle is for the benefit of your department and community so working as a team and knowing what you need to work with will allow for the best outcome.

It is a conventional brick-and-mortar bank with access to service representatives at a physical location, in addition to its online and mobile apps. Overall, Texas Bank is a great choice and should warrant serious consideration, with a rating of 4.2 stars out of 5 from the SmartAsset team. Texas Bank has a variety of product offerings, including savings accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, CDs, mortgage products and credit cards.

Everything You Need to Know About Gambit Play
Publishing: January 2020 Europe, February 2020 US
9781781945018, $27.95/£18.99, 354 Pages.
Two great books from the Everyman Chess Library, Gambit Busters by Sam Collins and Gambit Play by Angus Dunnington, brought together in one volume.
We have all experienced nasty gambits and ultra aggressive opening play. It's scary and it's always been difficult to find good, practical advice on how to react. Now, hover, help is at hand.
In Gambit Busters, Sam Collins tackles the important subject of gambit play and gambit defence. He explores in depth the basic approaches, the typical mistakes made at all levels and explains how to avoid them. He also examines the techniques used by world-class players to defend and counterattack, and explains how you can learn from them. In addition, he covers some key theory of many popular gambits in modern chess.
In Gambit Play, Angus Dunnington takes an in-depth look at gambits in the modern game. By using illustrative examples, he explores the key aspects of successful gambit play, whilst also underlining the reasons why some gambits work whilst others flounder.


Organisations can plan and strategise for risk mitigation in their supply chain, but ultimately a lot of it comes down to luck.
Risk-experts Aaron Cleavely-Millwood (Market Development Manager – Regulatory, Market and Operational Risk) and Nathan Lynch (Head Regulatory Analyst) of Thomson Reuters, visited the Melbourne and Perth Roundtables to take members through their organisation's global research findings on risk and disruption.
While the Thomson Reuters research focused on disruption to financial services, Roundtable CPOs drew some key learnings from shared challenges around governance, risk, compliance and regulatory drivers.
The Faculty ran its own snapshot survey among its Roundtable members, providing some interesting comparisons between Thomson Reuters' global, cross-industry study and our local, procurement-focused findings.
Price risk is an obvious and ever-present danger and a key part of strategic planning. Cleavely-Millwood gave the example of the 2015 drought in Russia, which saw the price of wheat rise by 41 per cent, and create a huge impact throughout Europe. Spikes such as this (and of course the drop in oil price) cannot necessarily be forecast, but it is possible to plan for and hedge against these events.
Interestingly, social activism was placed at the bottom of both lists. This is surprising given some of the recent disruptions driven by environmental activism in the Australian coal and coal seam gas industries.
The Thomson Reuters presentation focused on fraud risk. This has been identified as a high area of concern for Australian organisations despite increasing regulation. CPOs have to be continually aware of the risks around supplier, contractor and employee fraud, and have plans in place to minimise the damage when fraud takes place.
Increased regulation is a double-edged sword. It will effectively lower the chance of fraud risk and other potentially damaging issues, but will mean CPOs need to spend more time and resources ensuring compliance.
Roundtable delegates were taken through various major pieces of regulation including the UK Bribery Act, the Australian Senate Review of Bribery Laws, the Dodd-Frank Act, and the upcoming Unfair Contracts Act.
The key takeaway – communicate regularly with your internal legal counsel to ensure you keep track of regulatory change.
Ensure you thoroughly investigate new vendors.
Regularly perform risk assessments of existing vendors to check if anything has changed.
Ensure you have visibility of your suppliers' suppliers, and their suppliers, and so on, until you're confident that there are no major risks several layers down the supply chain.

Minneapolis and Ell-Saline split Tuesday Night to open up the Tri-County Classic
Todd SenecalDecember 7, 2022
Minneapolis and Ell-Saline were back in action Tuesday night and it was to tip off of the Tri-County Classic in Minneapolis. It was Minneapolis winning the girls game and Ell-Saline winning the boys game.
GIRLS – Minneapolis 44, Ell-Saline 37
Minneapolis would start off slow like they did against Inman last Friday and find themselves down 13-7 to end the first period. Ell-Saline would use 3 three pointers in the 1st quarter to help build the the lead.
It would be more of the same in the 2nd period but Minneapolis would inch closer and at the half it was 23-17 at halftime.
Minneapolis would use their defensive pressure in the 3rd and some big shots from Maci McClure and Alayna Cossart to get the lead back 30-29 at the end of 3 quarters. Minneapolis would lead for the first time since the beginning of the game where they started with a 1-0 lead after Jordan Peck would knock down 1 of 2 free throws from the charity stripe.
Minneapolis would continue that defensive pressure in the 4th along with scoring 14 points to hold off Ell-Saline 44-37.
Ell-Saline was led in scoring by Senior Keala Wilson with 11. Other scorers for the Lady Cardinals were Ally Richards (9), Bailey Schneider (8), Avery Richards (5), Gabriel Norris (2) and Taylor Hardesty (2).

Ell-Saline would lead after one quarter of play 29-15 behind 15 points from Sophomore Brogan Rowley who end the night with 35 points for the Cardinals.
The 2nd quarter was more of the same with Ell-Saline's foot on the accelerator and would lead 57-33 going into halftime.
In the 3rd quarter Minneapolis would clamp down defensively and they would continue to knock down shots but would still trail by 18 going into the 4th quarter.
Minneapolis Senior Mason Scott would score 15 of his 26 in the 4th but the Minneapolis comeback would fall short as time ran out with a final score of 77-72 to Ell-Saline.

There are many products on the market targeted toward both mother and baby. Over the last several years, consumers have become much more aware of the environment than ever before, and more and more organic products are being developed for this very reason. These products serve to enhance the lives of both mothers and babies the natural way and are often safer to use.
By using organic products for both mother and baby, you are living a lifestyle free of harmful chemicals and teaching your child to do the same. You are also eliminating the use of these chemicals early on in your baby's life and instilling a natural lifestyle that is safe.
When purchasing organic products for both mother and baby, consider those that promote habits that maintain and replenish the environment. By doing this, you are giving back to nature, thus allowing it to be the gift that keeps giving.
Many of these products also go through minimal processing. This means harmful chemicals are not used and you and your baby will be able to reap the benefits of truly natural products without the worries of potential damage caused by harsh, unnatural substances.
Organic products are also made to soothe the body. Often times, harsh chemicals that are used in products to make them look or smell better can have mildly uncomfortable side effects. Organic products are all natural and are often manufactured by the extracts of herbs and plants that contain soothing, calming qualities. This makes both mother and baby feel more comfortable and relaxed.
Organic products for both mother and baby are also made with the idea of embracing a natural lifestyle in mind. This means the use of botanicals, natural foods, and natural medicine. Many home remedies are made up of natural herbs, plants, and other materials that have been proven to calm, sooth, and heal a variety of conditions and discomforts. Now more people than ever before are turning to these natural remedies and products and taking advantage of what nature truly has to offer.
By eating organic foods and feeding them to your baby as well, you are insuring that both mother and baby won't ingest harmful chemicals used in the processing of many foods as well as pesticides that are used on fruits and vegetables. Eating organic foods is much safer and feeding them to your baby will help promote healthy eating habits early on in life. It will also encourage your child to remain conscious of this lifestyle and he or she grows to adulthood. This may also mean these habits will be passed down from one generation to the next, which will continue the cycle of promoting an overall healthier lifestyle all around.
Organic products for both mother and baby come in many forms. They include: soaps, shampoos, moisturizing lotions, and an array of food items. You can research the Internet for a list of organic products designed with mother and baby in mind, and can obtain information on a variety of home remedies for a host of common ailments and illnesses. It's all about promoting a healthy lifestyle and there's not better time to begin than now.
When using any styling or conditioning product, keep in mind that more is not necessarily better. This has long been a common myth among women, but this is not actually the way it works. The more you add today, the more you have to deal with tomorrow when it comes time to actually style your hair. Hair products also build up and can make your hair appear greasy over a period of time. It may also mean using other products to repair problems caused by those that have been too liberally applied, which just compounds the problem at hand. Instead, use a lesser amount of the product and make sure you limit your use based on what will net you the results you desire.
If you absolutely must use a lot of hair product and want to reduce the amount of shine caused from the greasy appearance, consider using hair powder. This will give you one more day out of your salon styled hair before it becomes necessary to wash the product out. When you do wash your hair, be sure all the built up hair product is removed. This will make your hair shiny for the right reason and will restore its healthy appearance.
If you straighten your hair, remember that a little moisture can ruin this look in minutes. You can avoid this problem before you even begin styling your hair by using a shampoo designed to take care of frizz before it even exists. There are several salon products out there on the market that do this, so choosing one will probably not be too difficult. You may want to try several before determining which one works best for you.
If you wish to purchase salon products that will enable you to style your own hair, consider only tools that will not unnecessarily damage your hair. Consult your local stylist if you are unsure of the proper tools to use.
By following the tips in this article, you will be able to keep your hair healthy all around. By taking care of it before, during, and after it is styled, you will insure it will always appear healthy and looking its best. Choose your products and tools carefully, and remember healthy hair is worth the extra spending amount if that's what it takes.
Caring for your hair is an essential part of your everyday look. Proper hair care is just as important as skin care, and must be given attention on a daily basis. As with anything else, not caring for your hair can lead to a lot of problems including breakage, frizz, and even early hair loss. Though this last possibility is probably the most uncommon, it can occur when the proper steps are not taken. The following tips will help you improve your hair care techniques and get you on the road to healthier, better looking hair.
A healthy lifestyle will equate to healthier hair Avoid stress whenever possible, don't smoke, and exercise regularly. Healthy life habits will mean a healthier body, and your hair is certainly part of that. How you eat can also affect the health of your hair If you are conscious of eating nutritious foods, your hair stands a better chance of remaining healthy.
Get plenty of sleep. Research has shown that a lack of sleep will affect your body in many ways. Your hair can be affected by this as well. If you combine not eating nutritiously with a lack of sleep, you may find yourself losing small amounts of hair while this is not necessarily alarming, it can worsen over time. Eating a nutritiously balanced diet and getting plenty of sleep will make you feel and look better. Avoid using any hair products that contain alcohol, as they only dry out your hairsprays are among the most common, and often contain alcohol. Instead, find products that are alcohol free and, therefore, less damaging.
Do not put hair care products directly on your scalp, as this will clog the pores. Instead, place the products in your hair and distribute them as needed.
If you go swimming, it is a good idea to wet your hair using water that isn't chlorinated before entering water that is. This will enable your hair to soak up the initial water instead of the chlorine. Consider wearing a cap to protect your hair from the chlorine. If you prefer not to wear one, be sure to shampoo and use a conditioner right after getting out of the pool. This will remove any traces of chlorine and wont' allow it to set in and damage your hair.
When blow drying, be sure to use the cooler air setting instead of the hot. The heat can damage your hair and cause it to become frizzy or extremely dry. This, in turn, can also cause it to become brittle and break off. When using the hairdryer, don't leave it in one spot for too long, instead, keep moving it around your head at a good distance so as to prevent the use of too much hot air.
If you do not have to use a hairdryer, try towel-drying instead and let the remaining moisture dry naturally. This will allow your hair to dry on its own with no help from the harsh heat a hairdryer can provide.
It's important that people who sit in the sun use something to protect their skin. Sitting in the sun too long without anything to cover your skin can be dangerous. People that do take this to heart will use burn spray.
Burn spray works to get rid of sunburns, abrasions and other skin issues that deal with sitting in the sun too long. People can get an infection if they sit in the sun too long and not take care of that sunburn or abrasion. Using burn spray helps to disinfect the affected region of the skin.
With the anti-aging dilemma going on, there are many people who do not want to look old and wrinkled like a prune. Some people use moisturizer to keep their face hydrated. Having dry skin caused by dehydration can make a person's skin look dry and wrinkled.
In order to keep in looking moist and smooth, some people use moisturizer to do just that. Usually, the moisturizer is mixed with different ingredients that assist in getting rid of radicals that can damage the skin and cause it to age quickly.
Not only is it important for skin smooth and moisturized, it is also important for the skin to be clean, especially in the facial area. The facial area is what most people will see on another person from day to day.
Cleansers can be used to get the skin clean and remove any excess dirt, oil or any other impurities that can cause the skin to look abnormal. In addition to that, cleansers can also be used to remove follicles.
Follicles are cavities that are found in the facial area that can cause acne. Acne can cause breakouts on the facial area. They don't look very appealing on the face and people tend to be embarrassed by them.
For men, they pride themselves with a nice shave that removes the hair from their facial area. Some will apply shaving cream along with other ingredients that can help them have a smooth look. In addition to that, if they have sensitive skin, there is something for them that they can use so that they won't break out after shaving.
Sometimes makeup can be difficult to remove. Since a lot of people embody different skin types, there are formulas for dry and oily skin. The formula can be something that has natural ingredients such as aloe (plant), wheat germ oil and mineral oil. There are beauty and skin care products for everyone; it's just a matter of what people need.

What do we know about Khosta-2, this new virus close to Covid-19 discovered in Russia?
New coronavirus in sight! In Russia, American scientists have discovered a cousin virus of Sars-Cov-2 in bats, according to a study published by Washington State University in the journal PLoS Pathogens.
Called Khosta-2, this virus could affect humans, and, like certain sub-variants of Omicron, escape the immunity conferred by anti-Covid vaccines. What to fear a next pandemic?
Contamination of human cells and immune escape
Discovered in 2020 by a team of "virus-hunting" scientists, Khosta-2 was discovered in bats in Russia's Sochi National Park, without however causing concern to American researchers, who did not then thought it might pose a threat to public health. Already in bats in Russia, scientists had unearthed a sister virus, Khosta-1, which, after laboratory examination, had proved incapable of contaminating human cells. But the relative serenity of scientists was disturbed by in-depth analyzes carried out on Khosta-2 in the laboratory, which demonstrated that this new coronavirus had the capacity to infect human cells.
Khosta-2 appears to bind to the same protein, ACE2, as SARS-CoV-2 to enter human cells. "Receptors on human cells are the pathway by which viruses enter cells," explained the Time virologist Michael Letko, a professor at Washington State University and lead author of the study.
And to complete this unpleasant discovery, additional analyzes have shown that Khosta-2 would also have the ability to escape the immunity conferred by infection and anti-Covid vaccination. "It is concerning to see that there are viruses circulating in nature which can bind to human receptors and are not neutralized by current vaccine responses", warned Professor Letko.
No contamination reported in humans
However, the researchers want to be reassuring. To date, no human contamination has been reported. In addition, according to the results of their analyses, the Khosta-2 coronavirus does not seem to have the genes likely to cause serious forms in humans.
Which could evolve if Khosta-2 starts circulating and mixing with SARS-CoV-2 genes. "The concern is that SARS-CoV-2 could spread to animals infected with Khosta-2, recombine, and then infect human cells. They could be resistant to vaccine immunity and have more virulent factors, "explained Professor Letko, for whom anti-Covid vaccination must not weaken.
However, according to the latest data collected by the WHO, a quarter of people in the world have still not received a primary vaccination against Covid-19.

Life timeline of Paul H Busch
Paul H Busch was born on 24 Jun 1920
Paul H Busch was 10 years old when Great Depression: In a State of the Union message, U.S. President Herbert Hoover proposes a $150 million (equivalent to $2,197,000,000 in 2017) public works program to help generate jobs and stimulate the economy. The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression that took place mostly during the 1930s, beginning in the United States. The timing of the Great Depression varied across nations; in most countries it started in 1929 and lasted until the late-1930s. It was the longest, deepest, and most widespread depression of the 20th century. In the 21st century, the Great Depression is commonly used as an example of how far the world's economy can decline.
Paul H Busch was 21 years old when World War II: Nazi Germany invades the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa. Nazi Germany is the common English name for Germany between 1933 and 1945, when Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party (NSDAP) controlled the country through a dictatorship. Under Hitler's rule, Germany was transformed into a totalitarian state that controlled nearly all aspects of life via the Gleichschaltung legal process. The official name of the state was Deutsches Reich until 1943 and Großdeutsches Reich from 1943 to 1945. Nazi Germany is also known as the Third Reich, from German Drittes Reich, meaning "Third Realm" or "Third Empire", the first two being the Holy Roman Empire and the German Empire. The Nazi regime ended after the Allied Powers defeated Germany in May 1945, ending World War II in Europe.
Paul H Busch was 33 years old when Jonas Salk announced the successful test of his polio vaccine on a small group of adults and children (vaccination pictured). Jonas Edward Salk was an American medical researcher and virologist. He discovered and developed one of the first successful polio vaccines. Born in New York City, he attended New York University School of Medicine, later choosing to do medical research instead of becoming a practicing physician. In 1939, after earning his medical degree, Salk began an internship as a physician scientist at Mount Sinai Hospital. Two years later he was granted a fellowship at the University of Michigan, where he would study flu viruses with his mentor Thomas Francis, Jr.
Paul H Busch was 44 years old when The Beatles make their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, performing before a "record-busting" audience of 73 million viewers across the USA. The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. With members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, they became widely regarded as the foremost and most influential music band in history. Rooted in skiffle, beat and 1950s rock and roll, the Beatles later experimented with several musical styles, ranging from pop ballads and Indian music to psychedelia and hard rock, often incorporating classical elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways. In 1963, their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania"; as the group's music grew in sophistication, led by primary songwriters Lennon and McCartney, the band were integral to pop music's evolution into an art form and to the development of the counterculture of the 1960s.
Paul H Busch was 52 years old when Munich massacre: Nine Israeli athletes die (along with a German policeman) at the hands of the Palestinian "Black September" terrorist group after being taken hostage at the Munich Olympic Games. Two other Israeli athletes were slain in the initial attack the previous day. The Munich massacre was an attack during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany, in which the Palestinian terrorist group Black September took eleven Israeli Olympic team members hostage and killed them along with a West German police officer.
Paul H Busch was 62 years old when Michael Jackson's Thriller, the best-selling album of all time, was released. Michael Joseph Jackson was an American singer, songwriter, and dancer. Dubbed the "King of Pop", he was one of the most popular entertainers in the world, and was the best-selling music artist during the year of his death. Jackson's contributions to music, dance, and fashion along with his publicized personal life made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.
Paul H Busch was 79 years old when Columbine High School massacre: Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 13 people and injured 24 others before committing suicide at Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado. The Columbine High School massacre was a school shooting that occurred on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School in Columbine, an unincorporated area of Jefferson County, Colorado, United States, in the Denver metropolitan area. In addition to the shootings, the complex and highly planned attack involved a fire bomb to divert firefighters, propane tanks converted to bombs placed in the cafeteria, 99 explosive devices, and car bombs. The perpetrators, senior students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, murdered 12 students and one teacher. They injured 21 additional people, and three more were injured while attempting to escape the school. The pair subsequently committed suicide.

Why the Bears should keep an eye on Ravens kicker Kaare Vedvik: 'He'll kick well enough for us to trade him'
By Dan Wiederer

The ad is posted to NFL Craigslist.
Extra kicker available. Age: 25. Strong leg. Highly confident. Has the versatility to punt as well. For more information, contact Eric DeCosta at Ravens headquarters. Best offers only.
You can bet the Bears are fully aware of Kaare Vedvik. You can bet general manager Ryan Pace is doing his research. You can bet the curiosity will spike Thursday night when Vedvik and the Ravens host the Jaguars at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
Who says preseason games in early August don't mean anything?
For the Bears, this "2019 Kicker Watch" has an obvious level of urgency. The Bears will face the Panthers on Thursday night at Soldier Field with high hopes that current kickers Eddy Pineiro and Elliott Fry will continue to grow and succeed.
[Most read in Sports] Patrick Kane joins Stan Mikita, Bobby Hull and Denis Savard as only Blackhawks to score 1,000 points in 5-2 win over the Jets »
In an ideal world, Pineiro and Fry will build on their encouraging training camp performances with perfect showings in the preseason. From there, the Bears would be able to choose a Week 1 kicker with much more mental comfort. From within. With a selection between two competitive candidates whom Bears coaches have spent the last few months getting to know.
But what if Pineiro and Fry struggle? What if, when the lights come on and the pressure elevates, neither kicker seizes his opportunity?
What if kicks over the next 23 days begin to wobble and slice? What if that ugly sound of leather hitting metal again reverberates across the lakefront?
We all heard what Pace said last month just before training camp began about finding a solution to address the kicker need. We heard the Bears GM declare that his pro scouting team will have its eyes all over other kickers around the league during the preseason.
We heard Pace leave the door open to a late August trade for a kicker, a potential move that could better position the Bears to win the Super Bowl.
[Most read in Sports] Yu Darvish wonders if Brewers star Christian Yelich has forgiven him for their Twitter beef: 'I think he's still mad' »
"Everything's on the table," Pace asserted, "to make sure that we get that right."
Vedvik will almost certainly be available. The Norwegian native is on the second line of the Ravens depth chart behind Justin Tucker, the most accurate kicker in NFL history. The ultra-reliable veteran signed a four-year extension in April worth up to $23 million.
Barring an improbable injury to Tucker, the Ravens won't need Vedvik. Still, his strong leg and confidence make him a valuable asset. And at the owners meetings in March, Ravens coach John Harbaugh offered his Vedvik forecast for the preseason.

"I fully expect he'll kick well enough for us to trade him," Harbaugh said. "I would say that's the goal."
Best offers only.
[Most read in Sports] Lou Piniella returns to the Cubs as an analyst with Marquee Sports Network. How about that? »
Vedvik's true value will be established over the next three-plus weeks as he kicks against the Jaguars, Packers, Redskins and Eagles.
"He's capable of kicking in the NFL," Harbaugh said. "We probably could have traded him last year."
So why didn't they?
Assault victim
The police report was drafted in the early hours of a summer Saturday last year. Vedvik had been hospitalized, according to the report, taken to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center after he was found alone, bloodied and bruised with multiple facial injuries, the apparent victim of a brutal assault in the Midway neighborhood of East Baltimore.
Vedvik was unable to give a statement to police, who later worked through Ravens head of security Darren Sanders for their original report. Sanders told police that Vedvik had acknowledged originally being out with teammates the previous night in Falls Point but had stayed out past 3 a.m. solo with, the police report said, "a couple ladies he was with."
[Most read in Sports] 4 takeaways from Cubs Convention, including Lee Smith's return to the organization »
Vedvik had told Sanders he could not remember what happened after that or how he wound up battered and by himself on Boone Street in an area the Baltimore Sun reported was near an alley across from a vacant lot and a row of mostly vacant row houses.
Vedvik's wallet and phone, the police report indicated, were missing. The extent of his injuries was redacted, but they were significant enough that the Ravens immediately placed him on the reserve/non-football injury list. His 2018 kicking campaign reached an abrupt end.
At that point, Vedvik's search for his professional opening was put on hold until 2019.
Now comes his time. Vedvik gets four preseason games over the next 23 days to kick for the Ravens as an audition for all interested outside parties.
The Bears will be watching.
Since Cody Parkey's infamous double doink in January, the Bears have signed four kickers and cut three of them. With tryout guys included, they held an eight-kicker competition over three days at rookie minicamp in May.
They emerged from that fiasco so unsatisfied that they traded a conditional seventh-round pick in 2021 to the Raiders for Pineiro. (The Bears will lose that pick only if Pineiro is on their active roster for at least five games.)
Pace has promised to be ultra-thorough with this kicker search, even if at times it appears a bit haphazard with a scent of desperation.
Still, with everything on the table, it's impossible to rule out August trade talks with the Ravens. There's a pipeline there.
Wil Lutz was once the No. 2 kicker behind Tucker on the Ravens depth chart. He was an undrafted rookie out of Georgia State in 2016 and was sent packing in the final wave of cuts before the season.
[Most read in Sports] NFL awards the Super Bowl to Arizona in 2023 and New Orleans in 2024 and the 2019 draft to Nashville »
Lutz quickly landed with the Saints, made the Pro Football Writers Association all-rookie team and last year connected on 93.3% of his field-goal attempts. That ranked fifth in the NFL.

In the pre-Tucker era but still under the watch of Harbaugh, Graham Gano also got his start in Baltimore.
As an undrafted rookie in 2009, Gano couldn't beat out Steven Hauschka for the Ravens kicking job, but since then he has had tours of duty with the Redskins and Panthers. He made the Pro Bowl two years ago and is readying for his eighth season in Carolina.
Even Tucker's climb is worth chronicling. Undrafted out of Texas in 2012, he performed well enough in the preseason to unseat Billy Cundiff. The Ravens made him their kicker without a second thought and haven't looked back. Tucker has been an All-Pro four times in seven seasons, making 90% of his field-goal attempts.
So maybe, just maybe, there's another Cinderella story waiting in Baltimore.
The Bears saw Vedvik in person last August at the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. He made both of his extra-point attempts and a 31-yard field goal in the first quarter. And to fully showcase his versatility, Vedvik also punted eight times that night, averaging 48.1 yards.
This was a month before Vedvik was assaulted, his football career temporarily re-routed. And this was well before the Bears realized the Parkey experiment was a bubbling beaker that was going to combust in spectacular fashion in the playoffs.
Vedvik made 8 of 9 field-goal attempts last preseason, the longest a 56-yarder against the Redskins in the finale. The leg strength was evident. The upside was there.

How long does it take to do an Ironman?
Most Ironman events have a limited time of 16 or 17 hours to complete the race, course dependent, with the race typically starting at 7:00am. The mandatory cut off time to complete the 2.4-mile (3.86 km) swim is 2 hours 20 minutes.
What is the fastest Ironman time?
The fastest completion of the IRONMAN® World Championship by a male athlete is 7 hours 51 minutes 13 seconds, achieved by Jan Frodeno (Germany) at Kailua-Kona in Hawaii, USA, on 12 October 2019. Frodeno completed the 2.4-mile swim in 47:31, the 112-mile bike ride in 4:16:03, and the 26.2-mile marathon in 2:42:43.

How far do you swim in Ironman?
Olympic triathlons (including the NYC Triathlon) involve a 1.5-kilometer swim, 40-kilometer bike ride and 10-kilometer run. In "Iron Man" triathlons, the swimming portion can be as long as 3.9 kilometers, followed by up to a 180-kilometer bike ride and a 42.2-kilometer run (the same distance as a marathon).
How hard is it to do an Ironman?
The IRONMAN distance is legit hard. You will be challenged mightily on race day. But you can suffer better by teaching your body and mind in the preceding months to be okay with sustained discomfort (not pain; you should come to understand the difference).
How many calories do you burn in an Ironman?
Calories Out An Ironman will require at least 8000 calories. The body stores up to 2000 calories in readily available glycogen and significantly more in fat.
How do you qualify for Ironman?
There are four ways you can find yourself at the starting line for the IRONMAN World Championship: earning a slot at one of the full-distance qualifiers held around the world, getting a spot through the IRONMAN Legacy program, winning an entry in the IRONMAN Lottery Program or purchasing an entry through the IRONMAN
What's harder than an Ironman?
An ultra-triathlon is a long-distance triathlon. The term generally refers to all triathlon events with a distance that is a multiple of the Ironman Triathlon, which consists of 2.4 miles (3.86 km) of swimming, 112 miles (180.25 km) of cycling, and a full marathon (26.2 mi or 42.2 km) of running.

How old do you have to be to do an Ironman?
Ironman Rules require you to be 18 or older on race day. http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/events/ironman/world-championship/ So, no it's not really a loophole.
Can you swim backstroke in an Ironman?
You can absolutely do breaststroke in an Ironman! The only stroke that you can't do in any sort of triathlon is backstroke – for two reasons; firstly, because you can't see where you're going, and secondly, because it's rolling on your back that signifies you may be in danger or at least struggling.
What is a good 40k cycle time?
40k is a little shorter than a 25 mile tt so around an hour would be pretty good. Check out the draft rules and get clip-on tri-bars if appropriate – they can make a huge difference.
Is an Ironman bad for your body?
Putting in too many miles training for ultramarathons, triathlons and other endurance events can cause long-term damage to the heart. A little exercise is good for you. Too much can be bad for you, and could even kill you.
Can an average person complete an Ironman?
THEY CAN! Ironman combines the three disciplines of Swim, Bike, Run. They cover distances of 3.8km Swim, 180km Bike and 42.2km of running. 36,000 very normal, amateur athletes line up to that start line with the hopes of hitting the magic red carpet & the finish line to the words of "You are an Ironman".

Wireless networks are increasingly used within pervasive computing. The recent development of low-cost sensors coupled with the decline in prices of embedded hardware and improvements in low-power low-rate wireless networks has made them ubiquitous. The sensors are becoming smaller and smarter enabling them to be embedded inside tiny hardware. They are already being used in various areas such as health care, industrial automation and environment monitoring. Thus, the data to be communicated can include room temperature, heart beat, user's activities or seismic events. Such networks have been deployed in wide range areas and various levels of scale. The deployment can include only a couple of sensors inside human body or hundreds of sensors monitoring the environment. The sensors are capable of generating a huge amount of information when data is sensed regularly. The information has to be communicated to a central node in the sensor network or to the Internet. The sensor may be connected directly to the central node but it may also be connected via other sensor nodes acting as intermediate routers/forwarders. The bandwidth of a typical wireless sensor network is already small and the use of forwarders to pass the data to the central node decreases the network capacity even further.
Wireless networks consist of high packet loss ratio along with the low network bandwidth. The data transfer time from the sensor nodes to the central node increases with network size. Thus it becomes challenging to regularly communicate the sensed data especially when the network grows in size. Due to this problem, it is very difficult to create a scalable sensor network which can regularly communicate sensor data. The problem can be tackled either by improving the available network bandwidth or by reducing the amount of data communicated in the network. It is not possible to improve the network bandwidth as power limitation on the devices restricts the use of faster network standards. Also it is not acceptable to reduce the quality of the sensed data leading to loss of information before communication. However the data can be modified without losing any information using compression techniques and the processing power of embedded devices are improving to make it possible.
In this research, the challenges and impacts of data compression on embedded devices is studied with an aim to improve the network performance and the scalability of sensor networks. In order to evaluate this, firstly messaging protocols which are suitable for embedded devices are studied and a messaging model to communicate sensor data is determined. Then data compression techniques which can be implemented on devices with limited resources and are suitable to compress typical sensor data are studied. Although compression can reduce the amount of data to be communicated over a wireless network, the time and energy costs of the process must be considered to justify the benefits. In other words, the combined compression and data transfer time must also be smaller than the uncompressed data transfer time. Also the compression and data transfer process must consume less energy than the uncompressed data transfer process. The network communication is known to be more expensive than the on-device computation in terms of energy consumption. A data sharing system is created to study the time and energy consumption trade-off of compression techniques. A mathematical model is also used to study the impact of compression on the overall network performance of various scale of sensor networks.

La estela de Zurita es una estela cántabra discoidea gigante hallada en Zurita (municipio de Piélagos, Cantabria). Es un disco de piedra arenisca labrada con bajorrelieves de dos metros de diámetro. Es prerromana; está datada entre finales del siglo I a.C. y principios del siglo I d.C., no sabiéndose si se trata de un monumento genuinamente cántabro o de una Cantabria escasamente romanizada; en cualquier caso la factura es tosca y no presenta signos de romanización. Se ha relacionado constantemente con la religión de los antiguos cántabros, y ha servido de argumento para diversas hipótesis acerca de la existencia en Cantabria de diversas costumbres celtíberas o de formas similares de las mismas. Forma parte del escudo del municipio, aunque se sabe que fue transportada a Zurita desde otro lugar, probablemente desde el valle de Buelna, cuyas estelas gigantes presentan grandes similitudes con la de Zurita.

Actualmente, es propiedad del Museo Regional de Prehistoria y Arqueología de Cantabria, con sede en Santander.

Descripción
Uno de sus lados representa entre círculos concéntricos un caballo y dos guerreros armados que parecen estar cubiertos con pieles de animales. Tras estudiar detenidamente los detalles de esta escena, se cree que puede estar relacionada con la costumbre de algunos pueblos prerromanos que realizaban sacrificios de caballos a modo ritual. Tras realizar un calco de las extremidades inferiores del animal, se observó que parece tener atadas las patas entre sí, además situar los cascos de las mismas un poco por encima del suelo. Este dato unido a la posición de su cuello y cabeza, ligeramente echada hacia atrás, hacen pensar que el caballo intenta recular, circunstancia determinante para interpretar esta escena apoyada perfectamente en las fuentes clásicas. Según citaban Horacio (Carmina III, 4, 34) y Silio Itálico (Púnica III, 360) una de las tribus cántabras más conocidas, los concanos, se enfervorizaban al tomar sangre de caballo, dándoles vigorosidad y fuerza. Encontramos símiles de este tipo de muertes citadas por Estrabón (III, 3, 7) en los pueblos del norte de Lusitania y una curiosa cita según Plutarco (Plut. Quaest. Rom. 83) en la que hace referencia a que la paz entre los bletonenses se sellaba con la muerte de un hombre y un caballo. Curiosamente, esta escena podría coincidir con el plano superior de la estela.

En un plano inferior se observa un guerrero muerto siendo devorado por un buitre. Esta última escena está asociada tanto al culto solar de tradición celta como al séquito de una deidad de la guerra, y se repite en otros monumentos, como en ciertas cerámicas de Numancia; en este caso representaría una costumbre prerromana por la cual se dejaban los cuerpos de los guerreros caídos en combate sin enterrar, como muestra de honor. De esa manera los buitres llevarían al hombre al Cielo. El otro lado, también entre círculos concéntricos contiene unos motivos geométricos de simbología astral, representando cuatro lunas crecientes. Probablemente, se tratase del paraíso al cual llegaría el guerrero.

Former college football players compile advice for winning after athletics
October 29, 2019 11:43am Rachel Stark-Mason
Rob Curley (left) and Phil Costa talk about their book, "The Transition Playbook for Athletes," with Donna Drake, host of the TV show "Live It Up! With Donna Drake." Submitted by Phil Costa
Regardless of the sport played, the level of competition or the number of accolades garnered along the way, there's one thing all athletes have in common: the transition out of sports. Like most athletes, former football players Phil Costa and Rob Curley knew life would be a little different after they took off their helmets and pads for the last time, but they didn't anticipate just how jarring the adjustment period would be. They didn't expect the loss of identity. The imposter syndrome. The humbling experience of going from having a name that crowds once cheered for on Saturdays to a name unrecognized in an employee directory.
So Costa, who played at Maryland and then for the Dallas Cowboys, and Curley, who played at Lafayette, set out to create a resource they wish they had a few years earlier — a book with practical advice for athletes transitioning out of sports. The end result, "The Transition Playbook for Athletes: How Elite Athletes Win After Sports," is a compilation of lessons, tips, personal stories and motivational quotes from more than 100 former college, professional and Olympic athletes. From tips to starting off in a new career to guidance for adopting new healthy habits, here's a sampling of insights from the book.
Be prepared to feel like a freshman again.
"Like being a freshman, there is a bottom-of-the-totem-pole feeling. There is a lot to learn, and others are much more knowledgeable than you. You need to be a sponge and take in as much as you can as quickly as you can to have a competitive edge." — Marc Quilling, Lafayette football
Establish a new routine.
"I like to exercise first thing in the morning so I don't spend all day thinking about when I'm going to fit in my workout. Start your day with some simple accomplishments so that you are ready to focus on what's next." — Summer Sanders, Stanford swimming
Don't wait to leverage your network.
"See all those fancy people standing on the sidelines at games or practice? Get their business cards and connect with them. They want to help you if they can. When you become a former player, they often become less interested in helping if they didn't know you when you were a player." — Jon Harris, DePaul basketball
Adjust your lifestyle habits.
"I had to reevaluate my food choices based on my new activity level. It was earth-shattering to realize I couldn't still eat two steaks and wash them down with Gatorade at every meal." — Obumneme Akunyili, Maryland football
Know that your wins may be less obvious outside of sports.
"I've struggled with defining clear and visible metrics for measuring success. As an oarswoman, it was clear who was performing and who wasn't. I kept my head down, worked hard, and let my performance speak for itself. As a lawyer, my colleagues can't see whether or not I'm doing good work. I've had to learn how to advocate for myself and tout my successes in order to advance in my career." — Caryn Davies, Harvard rowing

Can I just use the built-in memory in the Mavic Air instead of a memory card?
What size card is best?
Do I need a super fast card?
For still photos pretty much any card available today will be fast enough. For 4K video, you want to make sure you get one that is UHC 3 with a Video Speed Class rating of at least 30. Those numbers refer to the speed at which information is written to the card by your Mavic Air and from the card to your computer.
Your Mavic Air Mavic can write to the memory card at 12.5 MB/s. A UHC 3 card can handle a minimum of 30MB/s, so you have a lot of headroom. A card like the SanDisk Extreme Pro advertises transfer rates of up to 100MB/s. That won't make any difference in writing video to the card, but it will be faster when you transfer the files to your computer. But we're talking seconds faster, not minutes.
What's the best brand of card to get?
I have not had issues with any brand I have used. I tend to use SanDisk because they are widely available and reasonably priced.
Where does the Micro SD card go on the Mavic Air?
On the back of the Mavic Air, right above the status light, there is a little door that flips down. When you open it you will see a tiny slot on the right side. Insert the Micro SD card into the slot with the contacts on the card facing up. Now push it in all the way. It's a really tight fit because there is so little room. To remove the card, push on it with your fingernail then release. It will spring out a bit and you can try to pull it out the rest of the way. I can't get my fingers in that little space to grab it, so I use a pair of tweezers.
How do I tell my Mavic Air where to store the images I shoot?
Tap the Camera Settings icon on the right side of your screen (the three horizontal lines with circles located under the shutter button). Now tap the gear icon at the top right then scroll down. Tap on Storage Location and select the either Internal Storage or Micro SD card.
How do I get the images and video onto my computer?
Take the card out of the Mavic Air and insert it into a card reader that is connected to your computer. It will show up as an external drive. You can then just grab the files you want and drag them into a folder on your computer.
Open the door on the back of the Mavic Air and plug the USB-C end of the cable into the port to the left of the card slot. Now plug the other end of the cable into a USB port on your computer. Two external drives will show up on your computer. One is for the internal storage on the Mavic Air and the other is for the Micro SD card. If you don't have a card installed, only the internal storage will appear. Given how hard it is to get the Micro SD card out of the drone, this might be the easiest way to transfer the files.
How do I format the SD card or internal storage?
Once you have your images and video files on your computer and have a second copy backed up to another location, you can go ahead and format the internal storage or Micro SD card. Formatting will erase the files and free up space for your next flight. To do that, tap the Camera Settings icon on the right side of your screen (the three horizontal lines with circles located under the shutter button). Now tap the gear icon at the top right then scroll down. Now select either Format SD Card or Format Internal Storage.
I can tell you from personal experience that Micro SD cards are easy to lose. One of the best accessories I purchased is the SD card case that is pictured at the top of this page. It's made by Pelican. It's small enough to slip into my flight bag easily and is very sturdy. I can keep empty cards on the left and full ones on the right. I'll never lose a card again!

Unfortunately, when loved ones pass away and their assets are distributed to heirs of the estate or beneficiaries of a trust, litigation often results. In estate litigation, it is common for those involved in the dispute to say, "I never thought this would happen to my family." Estate litigation requires a keen knowledge of the probate and trust law as well as a sensitivity to the emotional issues that often surface in these types of matters. Whether you are a trustee or personal representative trying to defend a trust or will, or you are an estate/trust beneficiary who has been wrongfully disinherited, Omni Law Group can effectively represent you. Having represented both trustees/personal representatives and beneficiaries, we know what it takes to litigate any type of trust or estate matter.

Iqbal Kaskar aide gifted gold to bar girl: Police
THE ASIAN AGE. | SAURABH M JOSHI
Published : Oct 11, 2017, 2:42 am IST
Updated : Oct 11, 2017, 2:42 am IST
The jeweller had approached the Thane crime branch on September 20 and lodged a complaint against the trio.
File picture of Iqbal Kaskar being brought to a police inquiry.
Mumbai: From the gold extorted from a Thane-based jeweller in 2015-16, one of the arrested aides of Iqbal Kaskar had allegedly gifted a gold necklace to a bar girl, revealed Thane police's probe into an extortion case against the trio. The Thane crime branch's anti-extortion cell (AEC) has tracked down the bar girl in Mira Road and is now in the process of recovering the necklace from her.
Investigators said that Asrarali Sayyad (58), who was given the ornaments for his daughter's marriage had mortgaged them with two jewellers in Mahim and Thane's Majiwada area.
A part of the money which he received was used by him for his daughter's marriage, and some of it was used to buy a five tola gold necklace for a bar girl.
"The bar girl has also mortgaged the necklace with someone, and we are trying to locate it. We are questioning her to get more details about the gift and her acquaintance with Sayyad," said a crime branch officer.
Kaskar, Sayyad and Mumtaz Shaikh had extorted 20 tola gold from a jeweller in 2015-2016, following which an extortion case was registered against them. The AEC officials recovered ten tola of the extorted gold last week. Sayyad splurged a part of the loan money at bars and on a bar girl.
The jeweller had approached the Thane crime branch on September 20 and lodged a complaint against the trio. He came under the radar of the gang after Shaikh learnt that the jeweller was trying to sell a land parcel in Thane. He then informed Sayyad and Kaskar about it, and they started threatening the jeweller in order to strike a deal for the land.
However, when the jeweller learnt that they were D-gang henchmen, he refused to go ahead with the potential deal. After that, Sayyad and Shaikh, along with Kaskar, went to his shop and allegedly extorted ornaments worth Rs 15 lakh from him.

The preliminary showdown will challenge contestants in categories such as prosthetic arms, mousetrap cars, popsicle stick bridge, glider, GI tract, speech and egg drop.
High-performing teams will compete against schools from the other 10 Southern California Regions at the Regional MESA event on April 8 at UC Irvine.
WHEN: 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 11
WHERE: Chapman University, 1 University Drive, Orange, CA 92866
DETAILS: MESA is a nationally recognized program that teaches students a math- and science-based curriculum in preparation for college and career pathways.
At LNMS, MESA is a part of the school's Science/Technology/Engineering Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) coursework strand. Under the direction of MESA teachers/advisers Michelle Sanchez and Jacqueline Ramirez, students meet daily to engineer projects and discuss science concepts.
Los Nietos Middle School has been a fixture at the MESA Prelims and Regionals, reaching both competitions in each of the last five years. The school has regularly competed at the regional level in events such as the egg drop, scientific model building, speech competition and the team Math Challenge completion.

I came to the site today because I've been using your application and I find it useful, and as such I intended to purchase it. When I got here I found no such option. You seem to be under the belief that software is a subscription service. I do not share such a belief. I came here to purchase the full version of your product. It seems you are not willing to sell it to me. I will not be perpetually held ransom to continue to make use of software I have already paid for, by you or anyone else.
Please rethink your business model. I truly like your product. I recommend it's free version to many people. But, where you would have gained a sale to me today, you now have nothing. It's your product and obviously you have the right to name whatever terms you wish, but you will always exclude me and those who feel as I do from financially supporting your product. Maybe there are enough suckers out there to make it worthwhile.
I will check in from time to time to see if you will decide to sell your product under reasonable terms. When you do, you will get my money.
