Julia Huddleston Chapel Talk
The transition to a new place ranks high on the list of most stressful life events. This process can be even more daunting for a rising junior in high school. That's what Julia Huddleston faced last year when she transferred to Amelia Academy. However, the transition was made easier by three friends who helped her make the adjustment. Julia paid a tribute to friendship in her Chapel Talk, delivered on February 6.
In expressing what her "small circle of friends" have done for her, Julia said, "They have helped me work through difficult situations . . . they have taught me to be a better person." Her friends also gave her the confidence to be herself. She has tried to do the same for them because, "that's what friends do for each other," she said.
Julia shared a few of the memories she will carry with her. She and her friend Ryan Anderson went to prom last year. He also surprised her with concert tickets on her eighteenth birthday. "Whenever I need someone to confide in or simply just need a laugh, Ryan has always been there," Julia said.
She credited her friend Noah DeJesus with helping her become "a stronger and more humble person." They have shared good and challenging times but have remained friends. "One of my favorite memories is Noah taking me to Logan's to see the cows," she said. This small act can turn around a bad day, she added.
Finally, Julia spoke about her friends Trey Capps, a 2017 Academy alumnus. "Trey is one of the funniest and most caring persons I know," she said. "He has taught me that it is okay to be silly and always be myself." Trey has been like an older brother, and Julia spoke about the fun times they have had.
All three young men helped her adjust to a new school, but their influence has extended far beyond the transition. Julia credited her three friends with creating fun memories and having a "giant impact" on her life. Pledging never to take them for granted, Julia hopes they will all remain close in the future.
As a student at the Academy, Julia has been a member of the varsity softball team. She and her siblings, Haylee and Macon, have also been active in various Academy programs over the past year.

Randy Brady Chapel Talk
Having written two other speeches, Randy Brady wrote a third one that he delivered on January 23. He explained that his anxiety about giving the speech, a requirement for graduation, made him second-guess his first two topics. That's when he decided to speak about the very thing – anxiety – that was keeping him from finishing his speech.
Randy explained that anxiety is a physical response to "prepare for a situation that your body sees as intense." And, Randy is not alone in his struggle with anxiety. Quoting the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, he said that 40 million Americans have anxiety or related disorders that include panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and social anxiety disorder.
Randy offered several ways that he has discovered to lessen the negative impacts of anxiety. "Try to cut out foods and beverages such as coffee. . . which can raise all your emotions including anxiety." Avoiding too much sugar and starch that increase blood sugar can help reduce anxiety.
Randy said that foods such as blueberries can help "lower the hormones for stress." Foods rich in Vitamin D, B, and E, such as almonds, eggs, and salmon also help.
Going outside for exercise offers another positive way to deal with stress. "Sleeping is a very good way of dealing with anxiety," Randy said, "as long as you don't do it in class," he added.
Even though there are many good modifications that can lower stress, Randy said that dealing with the source might be the solution. "Find out what you're anxious about and face it," he said. "You are not going to accomplish anything by running away from it."
What has helped Randy the most is realizing that anxiety is a part of life. There is no escaping negative emotions all the time. "It's something we have to experience as human beings."
Even though Randy doesn't want to be overwhelmed by anxiety, he has come to appreciate its role in his life. "I wouldn't want to be without it," he said. "It's the thing that makes us double-check what we might have done wrong. It is what prevents us from getting into bad situations . . . and motivates us to do things."
Randy has been a student at the Academy since pre-kindergarten. In his introduction, Rodney Taylor, Head of School, spoke about Randy's perseverance during adversity as the harbinger of a successful future.
Randy's grandmother, Virginia Brady, attended his chapel talk.
Academy Lower School Makes Donation to Amelia County Animal Shelter
The second grade class at Amelia Academy collected items for pets from the Lower School students during the holidays. Donations included food, toys, and other supplies for the Amelia County Animal Shelter. The class, along with their teacher, Charlotte Cervarich, presented the donations to Kirstin Krueger and Jessica Easter from the Animal Shelter on Tuesday, December 18. Ms. Krueger and Ms. Easter visited with the second-graders and brought a puppy named Angel, recently rescued by the Shelter.
Samantha Breuscher Chapel Talk
Choosing to remain positive in whatever situation arises in life can change a school, a community, and even the world. This was the subject of Samantha Breuscher's chapel talk, delivered on January 9 at Amelia Academy.
Samantha came to the Academy two years ago after homeschool. "I'd been homeschooled my whole life, and I'd only ever daydreamed about going to a high school like most teenagers." One of the first things she noticed about school was that many students didn't seem to want to be there. However, in "non-negotiable situations" like this, she said, people can choose to be positive.
Quoting Sir Winston Churchill, Samantha said, "Attitude is a little thing that makes a big different." By choosing to remain positive, she said that students can impact their own lives for the better. They can also improve the environment of the school. "Positivity is as easy (or as hard) as you make it to be," she said. In her own life, Samantha said that it has not always been easy, but she has worked hard to remain positive. She credited her parents with instilling this value in her from a young age. She has also had friends who have been a positive influence. She mentioned Brianna Hailey whom she considers more a sister than a friend.
Two friends and fellow classmates, Amari Hicks and Kelly Flippin, made her transition to the Academy a positive experience. "When I first started going to school, I was the definition of awkward," she said. The adjustment from homeschool to the Academy was a challenge, but she chose not to focus on the difficulty.
"Instead, I focused on the fact that going to the Academy would not only prepare me for college but help me out socially with meeting new people and making new friends," she said. One of those new friends has been Ellie Taylor, a classmate who enrolled last year.
How does a student remain positive amid the cynicism and worldliness that seems to permeate teen life? Samantha's answer is "gratefulness and contentedness." The decision to remain content, no matter the situation, can help create a positive outlook. The habit of being grateful involves seeking out the good aspects of any situation. Both of these pursuits "can benefit you and others around you," Samantha told her fellow students.
This attitude can also apply to relationships, particularly when conflict arises. Samantha encouraged everyone to realize that many difficult situations arise from a misunderstanding. "Try and see things from their perspective, and take all things into account when figuring them out," she said. "When you make the switch from pessimism to optimism . . . the state of being content and happy becomes more achievable."
Over the past two years, Samantha has been active in a number of programs at the Academy. She is a member of the National Honor Society and the Beta Club. She has also been a member of the Audio-visual club. She has been a class officer and served as team manager for the volleyball team.
Attending Samantha's chapel talk were her mother, Amy Breuscher, along with her aunt and uncle Luke and Tanya Glanzman. Also present were Tyler and Brooke Glanzman, and friends Allison Jervis and John Bollinger.

L'U.S. Victoria Libertas Pallacanestro (o VL), attualmente nota come Carpegna Prosciutto Pesaro per motivi di sponsorizzazione, è una squadra di pallacanestro con sede a Pesaro, Italia. Fondata nel 1946, ha vissuto il suo periodo d'oro negli anni '80 conquistando due scudetti, due Coppe Italia e una Coppa delle Coppe.

Era conosciuta semplicemente come Scavolini Pesaro, dal nome del principale storico sponsor e presidente, Valter Scavolini. La sponsorizzazione da parte della azienda cuciniera ha avuto una durata ininterrotta di 38 anni fino al 2013. Gioca le sue partite casalinghe alla Vitrifrigo Arena (fino al 2006 noto come BPA Palas, e fino al 2018 come Adriatic Arena).

Storia

La Victoria Pesaro nasce ufficialmente il 1º luglio 1946.
Il suo nome poi venne cambiato nel 1965 a seguito della fusione fra le due società cestistiche di Pesaro, la Victoria e la Libertas.
L'attività agonistica inizia ufficialmente con la partecipazione al Campionato Nazionale di Serie B nella stagione sportiva 1946-47.

Simbolicamente però si può collocare l'inizio della storia cestistica a Pesaro al 1938 quando in città si trovava affisso il seguente messaggio: Tutti coloro che intendono praticare lo sport della palla al cesto debbono trovarsi alle ore 18 di mercoledì e venerdì nella Palestra Carducci - Sarà presente un istruttore federale.

Nel 1950 la Victoria Libertas guidata da Agide Fava conquistò la sua prima promozione in Prima Serie grazie ad uno spareggio con Pavia. Per molti anni lo sponsor fu la Benelli, azienda pesarese che negli stessi anni coglieva importanti successi in campo motociclistico.

Nel 1957 la squadra, che fino a quel momento aveva giocato le sue partite all'aperto, si trasferisce nel palazzetto di Viale dei Partigiani.
L'"hangar" così chiamato divenne il santuario del basket pesarese ed uno dei più difficili campi d'Europa da espugnare per le squadre avversarie.

Nel 1974 la squadra retrocede in serie A2 e l'anno seguente avvenne la "svolta" : la famiglia Scavolini diventa sponsor della squadra (prima era Max Mobili) cominciando un'avventura che durerà per decenni (proprietaria lo diventerà nel 1985) e che farà legare il nome di Scavolini alla squadra di Pesaro per sempre.
Inoltre sempre nel 1975 nasce l'Inferno Biancorosso, il gruppo ultras della squadra.
Nel 1978, la "Scavolini" torna in A1 e ci resterà fino al 1998.
La passione pesarese nasce e si sviluppa nella sofferenza, nelle grandi lotte per evitare la retrocessione: epico è lo spareggio-salvezza contro la Superga Mestre a Milano, per la trasferta furono organizzati 77 pullman.
La partita fu vinta all'ultimo tiro e da quella straordinaria gara, dato il grande amore nato per questa squadra, la famiglia Scavolini si impegnò ad allestire un roster capace di lottare per lo scudetto.

Arrivarono a Pesaro una serie di giovani giocatori italiani che formarono l'ossatura di una formazione capace di stare ai vertici del basket nazionale per oltre un decennio. Nel 1981 da Rimini venne acquistato Domenico Zampolini, soprannominato "Mister Miliardo" perché fu il primo giocatore di basket il cui trasferimento venne pagato quella cifra. Nel 1983 da Venezia arrivò invece il playmaker Andrea Gracis, mentre da Brescia, l'anno seguente, il giovane pivot Ario Costa. Prima di loro giunsero però a Pesaro (1980) Mike Sylvester, oriundo italoamericano, e un giovane pugliese quasi sconosciuto che diventerà uno dei più grandi giocatori italiani di sempre: Walter Magnifico. Il suo arrivo fu del tutto casuale. Pesaro infatti aveva puntato gli occhi su Marco Ricci, giovane talento di Roma, che però rifiutò il trasferimento sull'Adriatico. Solo allora la Victoria Libertas ripiegò su Magnifico.

Il periodo d'oro del club fu negli anni ottanta dove conquistò due scudetti, rispettivamente nelle stagioni 1987-88 e 1989-90.

Dopo una stagione di "prova", quella 80-81 in cui Pesaro arriva ai quarti di finale dei playoff, va in scena l'anno seguente la prima vera e propria "sinfonia" di una squadra destinata a lasciare il segno nella storia del basket italiano di vertice per un decennio.
Nella stagione 81-82 arriva il grande playmaker jugoslavo Dragan Kićanović, soprannominato "il cobra" e la Scavolini vola. Chiude al primo posto la regular season e arriva ai playoff nel ruolo di favorita.
Si gioca la finale scudetto contro l'Olimpia Milano dopo aver battuto in semifinale la Synudine Bologna (88-87 il risultato finale) con un tiro all'ultimo secondo di Domenico Zampolini.
Anche la finale contro Milano vede Pesaro partire nel ruolo di favorita. Vuoi per il vantaggio di giocare l'eventuale spareggio in casa propria, vuoi per il fatto che durante la regular season la Scavolini aveva già pesantemente sconfitto (con ben 45 punti di scarto) la squadra di Milano: arrivò inaspettatamente una dura sconfitta. Milano vinse i primi due incontri aggiudicandosi così lo scudetto. Iniziò quindi per la Scavo un periodo di "sudditanza" psicologica nei confronti della squadra milanese, con un tabù che solo nella stagione 87-88 riuscirà a scrollarsi di dosso.

Il 9 marzo 1983 Pesaro conquistò il primo alloro internazionale. A Palma di Maiorca sconfisse l'ASVEL Villeurbanne con il risultato di 111-99 e si aggiudicò la Coppa delle Coppe.
In questa manifestazione per altre due volte la Scavolini arrivò alla finale, senza però riuscire a vincere.

Il 18 marzo 1986 a Caserta venne infatti sconfitta dal Barcellona 101-86 mentre il 17 marzo 1987 a Novi Sad (Jugoslavia) subì un'altra sconfitta, questa volta contro il Cibona Zagabria dei fratelli Petrović col punteggio di 89-74.
L'8 maggio 1985 la compagine pesarese, allenata da un giovanissimo Giancarlo Sacco (premiato allenatore dell'anno), sconfisse nella gara di ritorno la squadra di Varese 109-93 (andata 91-77 per la Ciaocrem) conquistando la sua prima Coppa Italia, a coronamento di un fantastico finale di stagione che la vide arrivare alla finale scudetto partendo dall'ottavo posto ed eliminando il Bancoroma e l'Indesit Caserta.
È invece il 19 maggio 1988 quando la Victoria Libertas, allenata da Valerio Bianchini sconfigge nella quarta partita di finale la Tracer Milano e conquista il suo primo "scudetto". 98-87 è il risultato finale di quella storica partita.
Protagonisti di quella stagione sono, oltre al nucleo storico composto da Ario Costa, Walter Magnifico, Andrea Gracis, Domenico Zampolini e Renzo Vecchiato, i due giocatori americani Darren Daye e Darwin Cook, che lasciano un'impronta indelebile sul gioco della Scavolini, tanto da essere ricordati come il "Darren&Darwin Show". A Darren Daye fu inoltre attribuito il soprannome di "cerbiatto" per il suo atletismo ed il suo modo di attaccare il canestro. Il D&D Show debuttò a Pesaro nella 14ª giornata del girone di ritorno in una memorabile partita contro la Snaidero Caserta e proseguì nei play-off eliminando sempre Caserta nei Quarti e la Divarese nelle Semifinali (con la famosa palla rubata di Cook negli ultimi secondi) fino appunto ad abbattere in Finale "l'impero milanese".

L'anno successivo la Scavolini viene eliminata da Milano nella semifinale dei playoff, dove perde 2-0 a tavolino il primo incontro giocato a Pesaro per una "monetina" lanciata dagli spalti e mai ritrovata che, al termine del primo tempo (all'epoca si giocavano due tempi di 20' ciascuno), avrebbe colpito alla testa il pivot avversario Dino Meneghin in maniera così grave da costringerlo ad abbandonare il parquet.
Appare ancora oggi inspiegabile l'eventuale gesto del "tifoso" considerando che la squadra di casa, al momento del fatto, conduceva il match e non si era ancora verificato alcun episodio che desse adito a particolari contestazioni.
Soltanto nel 2011 il grande campione ed attuale Presidente della Lega, attraverso un suo libro autobiografico, ammette di aver teatralizzato l'episodio fino all'abbandono del match nonostante fosse nelle condizioni di proseguire; a suo modo di vedere le intemperanze del pubblico pesarese erano, una volta per tutte, da punire.

La stagione 1989-90 vede ancora Pesaro, guidata da Sergio Scariolo, campione d'Italia e finalista della Coppa Korać contro lo Juventut Badalona, vincitore sia all'andata che al ritorno rispettivamente per 99-98 e 96-86.

In quella successiva riesce ad arrivare alle Final Four di Coppa dei Campioni, chiudendo però solo quarta venendo battuta in semifinale da Spalato, poi vincitrice del torneo, per 70 a 65, e nella finalina per il terzo e quarto posto dal Maccabi Tel Aviv per 83 a 81.
Nel 1992 con in panchina Alberto Bucci la Victoria Libertas conquista quello che è sino ad oggi il suo ultimo trofeo: battendo la Benetton Treviso vince la sua seconda Coppa Italia. Raggiunge anche la finale scudetto, dove si trova di nuovo i biancoverdi che stavolta hanno la meglio vincendo la serie per 3 a 1 (grazie ad una dubbia decisione arbitrale in gara tre), e quella di Coppa Korać contro la Virtus Roma che fa suo il trofeo con il 99 a 86 del ritorno, dopo il 94 a 94 dell'andata.
Nell'edizione del 1990 dei McDonald's Open la Scavolini sfiora la vittoria contro i New York Knicks perdendo 119-115.

Nelle successive stagioni la formazione biancorossa si assesterà al sesto, settimo posto nella classifica della stagione regolare non andando oltre i quarti nei play-off, tranne che in occasione dell'annata 1993-94 dove riuscirà, dopo aver chiuso la regular season al secondo posto alle spalle della Virtus Bologna, a giungere di nuovo in finale che perderà per 3 a 2 proprio contro le "V Nere", anche a causa della squalifica di McCloud, a seguito di vergognose ingiurie razziste da parte del play-maker virtussino Claudio Coldebella.

Alla fine degli anni novanta, una serie di errori a livello societario nella sostituzione dei giocatori "storici", culminò con una retrocessione in Serie A2 avvenuta nel 1998. Nonostante fosse risalita in A1 nel 2000 (acquistando i diritti dalla neo-fallita Pallacanestro Gorizia) , i risultati erano di gran lunga insoddisfacenti. Nel 2003 la squadra si rafforzò notevolmente acquistando giocatori come Alphonso Ford e Aleksandar Đorđević. La stagione fu soddisfacente: la squadra arrivò in finale di Coppa Italia, dove venne sconfitta da Treviso, conquistò la semifinale, dove venne superata da Siena, ed ottenne la qualificazione all'Eurolega. Nel settembre 2004, dopo giorni di agonia, muore inaspettatamente Alphonso Ford. Un grave lutto colpì la Scavolini e la pallacanestro in generale. Per sostituirlo, fu acquistato Charles Smith, che disputò una grandissima stagione. La regular-season non fu comunque positiva: la squadra non si qualificò ai playoff, ma vinse gare storiche in Eurolega contro Maccabi Tel Aviv e Barcellona. Appena finito il campionato subentrarono nuove difficoltà finanziarie, finché nell'estate 2005 la società fu dichiarata priva dei requisiti per partecipare alla massima serie.
La società Victoria Libertas Pesaro fu dichiarata in fallimento.

La rinascita dopo il fallimento
La pallacanestro pesarese, per la stagione 2005-06, fu costretta a ripartire dalla Serie B appoggiandosi su un'altra squadra, quella Falco Pesaro (sponsorizzata Spar) che fino a quel momento era la seconda realtà cittadina. La stagione è stata disputata con la denominazione societaria A.S. Basket Falco 2001 Pesaro, con colori biancorossi e sponsor Scavolini Spar. Nasce una pubblic company dove oltre ai vari soci di minoranza spiccano Valter Scavolini e Stefano Vellucci (presidente della Falco Pesaro) che preparano una squadra stellare rispetto alla categoria chiamando Agostino Li Vecchi, Mauro Morri, Daniele Parente, Samuele Podestà e soprattutto Carlton Myers. La squadra chiude la regular season al 2º posto e disputa con successo i play-off, dove un record di 7-0 permette alla compagine pesarese di sbarazzarsi rispettivamente di Ozzano, Pistoia e Treviglio e aggiudicarsi così la promozione in Legadue.

La stagione 2006-07 viene affrontata col nome societario di U.S. Vuelle Pallacanestro, in quanto la denominazione Victoria Libertas non era ancora stata riacquisita dopo il fallimento. Dopo una regular season conclusa con la 5ª posizione, la squadra allenata da Alessandro Ramagli, con Mauro Morri, Samuele Podestà e Carlton Myers affronta e sconfigge con un secco 3-0 la Carife Ferrara, aggiudicandosi l'accesso alle semifinali di Legadue dove incontrerà Rimini, squadra che ha battuto non certo facilmente (3-2) la Junior Casale Monferrato. Il "derby" (vista la vicinanza delle due città) è molto sentito nella città marchigiana: il 13 maggio, davanti ad oltre 1500 pesaresi giunti a Rimini, la VL vince gara1 battendo la Coopsette con il risultato di 77-69. Due giorni dopo espugna nuovamente il 105 Stadium vincendo 84-80. Venerdì 18 maggio 2007 la Vuelle conquista le finali, eliminando i Crabs con il punteggio di 85-82. Grazie alla vittoria 3-1 nella serie finale contro Pavia, il 3 giugno 2007 il club conquista la promozione in serie A1.

Degli eroi dei due anni rimarranno solamente Samuele Podestà e Carlton Myers.
La Scavo partecipa alle Final Eight di Coppa Italia del campionato di Serie A dell'anno 2007-08. Batte ai quarti la Montepaschi Siena per 77-78 in un'incredibile partita decisa all'instant-replay (giudicato da 2 un tiro di McIntyre che pestò leggermente col piede la linea dei tre punti che avrebbe permesso il pareggio senese), eliminando di fatto i biancoverdi super-favoriti per la vittoria finale.
Perde invece nella semifinale contro la Virtus Bologna, padrona di casa, per 80-88.
Anche in seguito la sconfitta l'entusiasmo nell'ambiente pesarese rimase alle stelle anche solo per aver battuto Siena e per essersi riaffacciati a certi livelli che mancavano da tempo ad una piazza importante come Pesaro.

Nella stagione 2008-09 la Scavolini Spar Pesaro chiude la Regular Season con 28 punti piazzandosi all'ottavo posto e centrando quindi l'ultimo posto disponibile per i play-off. Nell'ultima giornata infatti la Vuelle viene sconfitta in casa dall'Angelico Biella ma riesce a mantenere l'ottavo posto in virtù della vittoria casalinga della Lottomatica Roma sui rivali della NGC Cantù. Ai quarti di finale dei play-off Pesaro viene eliminata in tre gare dalla Montepaschi Siena che poi vincerà la finale con la Armani Jeans Milano aggiudicandosi il quarto titolo della sua storia.

Nell'annata successiva Pesaro chiude la stagione al decimo posto con 22 punti in classifica e il terzo miglior attacco della Lega ma con una difesa da rivedere. Decisiva in chiave salvezza la vittoria alla tredicesima giornata contro la Canadian Solar Bologna a Pesaro 90-73.

Nella stagione 2010-11 la Scavolini vede sfumare i play-off per soli due punti. Pesaro chiude infatti al decimo posto con 28 punti in classifica, a pari merito con la Lottomatica Roma, anch'essa rimasta fuori dalla corsa per il titolo, e ad una vittoria dalla Dinamo Sassari, dalla Cimberio Varese e dalla Canadian Solar Bologna, che chiudono la stagione rispettivamente al sesto, settimo e ottavo posto.

La svolta si ha con la stagione 2011-12. Durante la sessione di mercato estiva, Pesaro, forte della partnership siglata con il nuovo sponsor Siviglia, mette a segno quattro prestigiosi colpi di mercato. Vengono acquistati infatti Jumaine Jones dalla Juvecaserta Basket, Ricky Hickman, fresco vincitore del titolo MVP di Legadue, dalla Junior Casale, James White dalla Dinamo Sassari e infine il 20 luglio 2011 arriva la firma anche di Daniele Cavaliero reduce da tre stagioni consecutive nelle file degli eterni rivali della Sutor Montegranaro. La stagione si apre con un'inaspettata sconfitta a Biella seguita immediatamente da due grandissime vittorie contro l'EA7 Emporio Armani Milano all'Adriatic Arena e contro la Bennet Cantù al Palasport Pianella. Nel corso del girone d'andata la Scavolini alterna grandi prestazioni ed esaltanti vittorie, su tutte il successo contro la Montepaschi Siena al PalaEstra 78-75 e la vittoria all'Adriatic Arena sui rivali della Canadian Solar Bologna 86-77 a sconfitte inaspettate come nella gara contro la Banca Tercas Teramo alla nona giornata o nel derby giocato in casa contro Montegranaro. Nonostante ciò Pesaro chiude in modo più che soddisfacente la prima fase della Regular Season qualificandosi anche alle Final Eight 2012 in virtù di una straordinaria seconda posizione in classifica. Il 17 febbraio 2012, nei quarti di finale della Coppa Italia, Pesaro sconfigge l'Umana Venezia, settima al termine del girone d'andata, per 90-70 e accede alle semifinali della competizione dove viene però sconfitta da Cantù. A seguito dell'avventura in Coppa Italia Pesaro conferma anche nel girone di ritorno quanto fatto di buono nel primo ma purtroppo è costretta a cedere un po' il passo nelle ultime giornate a squadre più attrezzate. Decisiva per il piazzamento finale la sconfitta alla quindicesima giornata contro Bologna e in particolare quella nell'ultima gara contro la Novipiù Casale Monferrato già matematicamente retrocessa. Ed è proprio nell'ultima giornata che Pesaro manca l'aggancio al quarto posto, complice la vittoria di Sassari su Caserta e una clamorosa rimonta di Bologna alla Unipol Arena contro la Bennet Cantù: la vittoria dei rivali bolognesi per 66-65 condanna la Vuelle al sesto posto in classifica generale. La Scavolini, in virtù dei suoi 38 punti e della sesta posizione conquistata, affronta ai play-off Cantù, qualificatasi con il terzo posto alle spalle di Siena e Milano. Le prime due gare giocate al Pianella sono un monologo dei padroni di casa, che in gara 1 suggellano la vittoria già alla fine del primo quarto grazie ad una quantità mostruosa di triple messe a segno, e in gara 2 "passeggiano" sugli avversari vincendoli con il punteggio di 74-47. Sarà perché il pronostico pendeva dalla loro parte, sarà perché le prime due gare della serie avevano messo una seria ipoteca sul loro passaggio del turno in semifinale, Cantù viene sconfitta a Pesaro sia in gara 3, con il punteggio di 91-78 e al termine di uno dei più bei primi tempi che la storia del basket italiano ricordi, terminato con il punteggio di 50-48 per i padroni di casa, sia in gara 4, dove Pesaro ha la meglio con il punteggio di 80-68. In gara 5 la pressione è tutta sulle spalle di Cantù che "stecca" nei momenti decisivi della gara e consegna il passaggio del turno alla Scavolini, incredula per l'impresa compiuta. Forte della vittoria al Pianella in gara 5 Pesaro si presenta a Milano con tutte le carte in regola per mettere i bastoni fra le ruote ad una squadra nettamente più competitiva. Le prime due gare sono favorevoli ai padroni di casa, gara 1 termina 84-75, gara 2 84-68 sempre per i padroni di casa. In gara 3 però la musica cambia e Pesaro porta a casa una monumentale vittoria 85-77. La favola termina in gara 4 il 4 giugno 2012, dove, davanti ad un pubblico record di 9.329 spettatori, la Vuelle non riesce a ripetere l'impresa di una settimana prima e viene sconfitta 67-73 al termine di una gara giocata "punto a punto" durante tutto il primo tempo. Oltre che dal punto di vista del risultato, la stagione 2011/2012 si chiude anche con un consistevole aumento degli spettatori, 4.959 persone di media a partita (terza in Italia) con un aumento del 13.6% rispetto alla stagione precedente.

Purtroppo al termine di questa buonissima annata lo sponsor Siviglia non rinnova la partnership con la Vuelle e la nuova Scavolini Banca Marche si trova ad affrontare la stagione 2012-13 con aspettative ben più modeste rispetto a quelle dell'anno precedente.
Squadra affidata a coach Giampiero Ticchi e i soli Simone Flamini e Daniele Cavaliero, oltre al ritorno dal prestito del giovane Andrea Traini, ad essere confermati.
A questi vengono aggiunti Andrea Crosariol dalla Virtus Roma, la talentuosa ala Antwain Barbour, proveniente dal Cibona Zagabria, l'ala forte Lamont Mack, il rookie Reggie Hamilton e Valerio Amoroso, il quale rescinderà il contratto dopo sole quattro giornate per incomprensioni con l'allenatore.
Dopo un inizio promettente, frutto di due vittorie in 3 partite (a Biella ed in casa con Venezia) la squadra sprofonda in un tunnel di 11 sconfitte consecutive che la relegano in piena lotta salvezza, durante le quali viene esonerato a fine novembre coach Ticchi a favore di Zare Markovski e sostituiti Amoroso ed Hamilton con Rok Stipčević e l'ex NBA Tarence Kinsey.
Questa mossa produce gli effetti desiderati e la Scavolini Banca Marche si salva abbastanza agevolmente terminando la stagione al 15º posto a otto punti di vantaggio dalla retrocessa Angelico Biella.

La stagione 2013-14 è, se possibile, ancora più tribolata. Per la prima volta dal 1975 la squadra non ha lo storico sponsor Scavolini sulle divise da gioco e l'iscrizione al campionato è tutt'altro che semplice. Una volta iscritta (grazie ad un consorzio di imprenditori locali) la squadra è costretta ad un mercato low cost. Riesce comunque ad ingaggiare i rookie americani O.D. Anosike nel ruolo di centro, Elston Turner jr., figlio di quell'Elston Turner già visto in maglia Vuelle per 4 partite nel 1990, come guardia titolare e Marc Trasolini a cui viene aggiunta l'esperienza di Alvin Young e di Andrea Pecile al ritorno a Pesaro dopo dieci anni. La guida tecnica della squadra è affidata a Sandro Dell'Agnello, anche lui di ritorno a Pesaro dopo un'esperienza da giocatore a metà degli anni '90.
L'annata si apre con un'inaspettata vittoria 80-77 ad Avellino ottenuta grazie a una solida prestazione di Trasolini e Bernardo Musso ma prosegue con 9 sconfitte consecutive sebbene Anosike sia stabilmente al primo posto della classifica dei rimbalzi e Turner tra i più prolifici realizzatori. Il girone di andata si chiude con un record di 2-13 che relega la squadra all'ultimo posto in classifica.
Nel girone di ritorno un ruolino di marcia di 6-8 permette alla Vuelle di portarsi prima dell'ultima giornata a soli 2 punti da Montegranaro (ma con scontri diretti a favore) e giocarsi quindi la permanenza in serie A in casa contro la Reyer Venezia. L'11 maggio la Victoria Libertas regola la Reyer 86-73 e la contemporanea sconfitta della Sutor Montegranaro a Cremona regala una sudata salvezza alla squadra di Pesaro. L'annata 2014-15, la prima con il nuovo sponsor Consultinvest, vede la squadra aggiudicarsi nuovamente la salvezza all'ultima giornata con la vittoria casalinga nei confronti della Juvecaserta Basket.

I think there is at least one physical difference between my vacation in the Golden Age and what people who lived through it experienced: the smell of an ancient pulp magazine. I always imagined that when Isaac Asimov was reading the latest issue of Astounding, it had that same aromatic fragrance as the issue that I hold in my hand, but on closer consideration that simply can't be right. For instance, I can pick up the April 2011 issue of Analog, rifle through the pages just below my nose and there is a scent, but it is the scent of fresh, clean, young paper. But when I crack open the August 1939 issue, more than 70 years of collected odors seem to melt off the pages. There is a certain staleness to that smell, sure, but anyone who has been in a used book store knows what I am talking about. Some people hate it, but to me it might as well be ambrosia There is also a sweetness to the smell and I have no idea where that comes from, perhaps the result of seven decades of oxygen burning away at the pages. Whatever it is, when I finally put the magazine down after reading it for longer than ten minutes, the scent lingers on my fingers and it is delightful.
I really felt like a kid reading the August 1939 issue. Given my busy days, I found that I mostly read this issue before going to sleep in the evenings. I would crawl into bed with the magazine and a booklight, and then pull the covers over my head so that the light didn't disturb my wife. And I sit there for an hour or so each night, in this magical place, with the book light warming the pages, and the age-worn, pulp-scented pages filling my makeshift tent with those wonderful smells. I could almost imagine that any moment, my mother or father would walk through the door and catch me reading instead of sleeping and urge me harshly to turn off the light. It was all very exciting.
Science fiction has produced a multitude of suggestions for things the future needs. The thing that is lacking is the thirty-odd years of development that come between Kitty Hawk and the Yankee Clipper.
The lead novelette in August is "The Luck of Ignatz" by Lester del Rey, and it is for this novelette that the cover of the issue was done by Virgil Finlay. I'm far less an art critic than I am fiction, but I can't say this was a particularly moving cover for me. The story by del Rey, however, was pure fun, and I had the most fun I've had so far on this vacation reading that piece. Beginners who want to write science fiction often learn from others that part of what makes a good story, what makes the characters come alive, are the challenges that they have to overcome to reach their goal. del Rey's story is perhaps the epitome of this. Jerry Lord, the main character of the piece, has left Venus with a zloaht: a Venusian pet, a kind of snail-lizard, name Ignatz. Within its home swamp on Venus, Ignatz brings its master good luck. However, anywhere away from the swamp, Ignatz brings those around him nothing but bad luck. In trying to get back to Venus, therefore, Lord and those around him suffer nothing but trouble in trying to overcome the obstacles thrown their way by this interesting ability the zloaht have on those around them. Despite the ending being just a little weak, this was my favorite story in the issue.
The next piece, "Heavy Planet" is a short story by a "new author" named Lee Gregor and if that name isn't familiar to science fiction fans today it's only because it was the pen name of a somewhat more familiar name, Milton A. Rothman (1919-2001). The basic plot of the story is simple: on water-world, one of the natives witnesses as spacecraft crash into the ocean and goes to investigate. What makes the story interesting is that the planet on which the spacecraft crashes is obviously much, much larger than Earth and the gravity is far, far stronger. Ennis, the protagonist of the story can easily tear through the metal of the crashed spacecraft and from this, deduces that the planet from which it came had a much weaker gravity. In fact, the skin of the natives is stronger than the steel of the spacecraft. The plot hinges on the fact that (somehow) Ennis discovers the spacecraft has an atomic powerplant, something that has been hypothesized by the natives, but never produced. It is up to Ennis to keep this a secret from the enemy tribes on the planet until his own people can get to the ship and learn it's secrets.
Ennis tore at the controls, granite-hard standing out in bas-relief over his short immensely thick body, skin gleaming scale-like in the slashing spray.
Nevertheless, I did like the shift in perspective: as opposed to earthmen going to the moon or Mars and experiencing lower gravity, the story is told from the point of view of a native on a high gravity planet, trying to understand the material physics of this alien spacecraft from a low-gravity world.
The two were standing in the command control chamber of the barracks, the brain of the Torgutkluck defense system. The center of the room was taken up by a huge relief map… electrically operated from the message room below. A huge televisor screen, capable of reflecting an entire battlefield, occupied one wall. Other individual screens studded another wall.
From here a commander could personally keep an eye on any engagement within a radius of five hundred kilometers. It was a tribute to the skill of the Corp's signal engineers.
To me, this is Hubbard predicting CNN.
There were two science articles in this issue, one by Arthur McCann, the other by Willy Ley. Interestingly, the McCann article, "Isotope 235", is not listed in the table of contents. It is a brief, but interesting summary of the problem of isolating U-235 for use in atomic reactions from the far more common U-238, which doesn't work in a chain reaction.
The second article, Willy Ley's "Space War" was absolutely absorbing and fascinating, completely unlike his dry article in the July issue. "Space War" is essentially about the physics of ballistics, e.g. guns and bullets, something about which I knew almost nothing before reading it. It is as relevant today as it was 70 years ago. Ley points out that every advancement is eventually carried into war. Guns were put on airplanes and eventually they would go on space ships, but what would be the best weapon on a spacecraft? Ley touches on the physics of "ray guns" on spacecraft and how they would often be impractical due to the size of the power source and heat they would have to generate to be effective. He goes on to point out that regular bullets would still be the most effect weapon in ship-to-ship combat (something that the writers of the new Battlestar Galactica got right). This was an outstanding article, and I'd recommend it highly to anyone who can find it. In fact, about the only thing Ley got wrong in this article (so far) is that war in space was inevitable. In the 70 years since the article was written, we've seen more collaboration in space than confrontation, and that will hopefully continue to be the trend.
Campbell introduced the next short story with "A new author suggests a means of determining the day a man must die–a startlingly plausible method." Well, the method did not seem plausible to me, but the story was still a good one, and focused on that trademark of science fiction–"what if this was possible?" What are the ramifications? The new author, by the way, is Robert A. Heinlein, and the story, his first, is "Life-Line". I'd read this story before, sometime in the mid-1990s and I forgot just enough of it to make it an interesting read. The writing, from the beginning, was a grade above just about all of the other stories in the issue (de Camp, whom I'll get to shortly, being the exception) and the story moved fast and kept you engaged. Somehow, I remembered the ending of the story very differently from how it actually ended.
The story itself is about a man, Dr. Pinero, who has invented a machine that can predict the date of a man's death. Pinero is an interesting character, challenging authority in what would become typically of Heinlein's characters. However, I imagined a remarkable similarity between this "doctor" and Dr. Jack Kevorkian. Insurance companies are trying to prevent the use of the machine because if it worked, it would wreak havoc on their business models. Heinlein explores several interesting avenues and side-effects of the device. I don't want to give away the ending on this one because if you haven't read it, you should. But I'd swear that the way I remember it ending was with Pinero giving a reading to one Lazarus Long, and on seeing the results, telling Long that the machine was broken and he couldn't give him a reading. Long wasn't even in this story, which goes to show you how far off I was.
Still, in the first two issues of the Golden Age, Campbell had printed the first (or very early) stories of Van Vogt, Asimov, and Heinlein. Asimov and Heinlein, at least, would go on to become two-thirds of The Big Three. A golden age, indeed.
If the power is gone when the ship passes through Heaviside, it would be destroyed, and therein lies the crux of the story. How can the ship, drained of power, survive? But survive they do, through a kind of deux ex machina. Not a terrible story, but one for which I simply couldn't dump my knowledge of modern astronomy to make it seem more believable.
Following "Stowaway" were two pieces by L. Sprague de Camp. The first piece, a page long science article, is not listed in the table of contents. It's called, "There's Just as Good Fish–" and it is about the discovery of a fish previously thought extinct for millions of years. The second de Camp piece, a novelette called, "The Blue Giraffe" turned out to be my second favorite story in the issue. The story is an interesting one because the elements of science fiction lie mostly in the effects of radiation on mutations and biology and it is done subtly. The story opens with a son who discovers he's been adopted and his father then tells him the story of why he was adopted. The story is fascinating. It is, in reality, an African adventure story that predates Mike Resnick's Africa stories by five decades. It is a guided tour through the jungles of Africa and the discovery of a variety of creatures with strange mutations. Of all the stories in the issue, de Camp's is the best written. There is no feeling of pulp writing or story-telling. It is a smooth tale that comes alive in your imagination so that you feel like you are right there with the characters on their journey. Abou the only weakness in the story was the ending, which returns to the father and his adopted son. I didn't think the ending lived up to the full potential of the story, and almost would have liked to seen the beginning and ending left off, and just go on the wonderful journey through the African wilderness.
"Ultimatum From Mars" by Ray Cummings, was the shortest story in the issue. It was mostly political science fiction about how an Earth, seemingly backed into a corner by a threatening Mars, overcomes the threat and reverses the situation. The writing was fine, but I didn't see much new here. Clearly, the theme of the story had to be a reflection of what was going on in Europe at the time, a kind of wish-fulfillment for how European nations would react to the Nazi threat. But this was an otherwise quiet piece, and one of my least favorites in the issue.
My least favorite story in the issue was the last novelette, "Pleasure Trove" by P. Schuyler Miller. The story itself was well-written, the writing up there with both de Camp and Heinlein. I just didn't like the story. The opening scene was fantastic, but from there, it became mostly a "space western" and wandered off into realms that I didn't find interesting or compelling. This disappointed me because, while I'd never read a Miller story before, I knew that he was a popular author. But this piece, at least, didn't interest me at all.
Once again, I had a lot of fun reading this issue and I think I enjoyed my top three stories in this issue even more than the top 3 I ranked for July. Coming up in September, there is, of course, the conclusion of "General Swamp, C.I.C." as well as a story by yet another new writer, and Campbell discovery, Theodore Sturgeon.
According to Sam Moskowitz, the Virgil Finlay cover is a blown-up fragment of a much larger painting. Finlay was so appalled by the result that he refused to accept a commission from Streat and Smith ever again.
Your memory of "Half Life" is half correct. The scene of Lazurus Long getting is money refunded by Pinero is mentioned in passing in "Methuselah's Children" – which will be showing up 24 weeks from now in your vacation.
However, I don't know if this callback was part of the magazine serialization, or was inserted by Heinlein in his 1958 revision.
Finally, Arthur McCann is John W. Campbell — the Scot name is a dead givaway.
Mark, thank you for helping prove I am not insane. As I was writing the post this morning, I kept thinking, gee, if I imagined that ending for "Life-Line" then it would make a good story, regardless. I'm so glad you were able to tell me that I didn't, in fact, imagine it. I read a 1967 Putnam paperback edition of THE PAST THROUGH TOMORROW in the mid-90s and that's when I must have read Methuselah's Children, and in the 16 years since, misremembered that one with Life-Life. What a relief!
I can understand Finlay being upset. I wonder what the full painting looked like.
Thanks for letting me know that McCann is another Campbell pseudonym. Makes sense now because topically, the article is an extension of his July '39 editorial.
Cool stuff! Living my teen dream you are — one thing though, I believe You've misspelled Sprague's name on your lists. I once upon a lifetime ago corresponded with him.
Will, thanks for the comments and the correction. I misspelled his name in four places, how about that!? But I've now corrected them. Thanks for pointing that out.
I've been looking for blogs covering "Golden Age" science fiction for quite some time and this is the first one I've found on the topic. I'm really looking forward to following these posts. A dream vacation indeed!
I'm glad you found it, Christa. This has been a lot of fun so far.
What fun. I can smell the antique paper. Thanks for sharing your wonderful vacation with us.
Your recollection of Lazarus Long meeting Dr. Pinero is correct. Long recounted the story in _Time Enough for Love_.

Solar tax credit heads to House floor
By Dan McKay / Journal Staff Writer
Tuesday, February 13th, 2018 at 1:04pm

SANTA FE — A proposal to reinstate an income tax credit for homes and businesses that install solar panels is headed to the House floor.
Senate Bill 79, sponsored by Senate Majority Whip Mimi Stewart, D-Albuquerque, would bring back a tax credit that expired in 2016.
Stewart said it would help make solar energy more affordable, especially as new tariffs are expected to drive up the cost.
The proposal passed the Senate on a 35-6 vote earlier this week, and it cleared a House committee 9-6 on Tuesday.
To become law, it must also pass the full House and be approved by Republican Gov. Susana Martinez.
The Sierra Club, Conservation Voters New Mexico and other groups testified in favor of the proposal.

First Nations leaders call for RCMP investigation into Thunder Bay deaths
First Nations chiefs in Thunder Bay say the deaths of Indigenous people in the area have not been getting the police attention they need.
CBC Radio · Posted: Jun 01, 2017 4:26 PM ET | Last Updated: June 1, 2017
Stacy DeBungee's body was found in the McIntyre River in Thunder Bay on Oct. 19, 2015. (CBC)
Read Story Transcript
The bodies of two Indigenous teenagers — Josiah Begg and Tammy Keeash — were pulled from a Thunder Bay river in May. Since 2000, seven Indigenous teens have been found dead in rivers that run through the city.
Their deaths have prompted First Nations chiefs to take action against what they say is a recurring theme of indifference and apathy on the part of the Thunder Bay police service.
They have asked that the RCMP conduct its own investigation into the recent deaths, as well as the death of Stacy DeBungee, who was found dead in the same river in October 2015.
Tammy Keeash's body was found in Thunder Bay's McIntyre River system in May. (Thunder Bay Police)
There have been several incidences of Indigenous people being assaulted and thrown in the rivers, but no charges were laid.
Alvin Fiddler, the Grand Chief of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation, says the police need to look at all the circumstances that led to the deaths and "to investigate other cases where allegations have been made, that there were attempts to harm people in the river systems."
"And I think the fact that right now there's a total distrust with the municipal police service here in Thunder Bay is preventing people ... people are afraid to come forward and make these disclosures," Fiddler tells The Current's Anna Maria Tremonti.
It's been really disappointing with the police services board and even the mayor … saying that racism is not a factor in these deaths. - Alvin Fiddler, Grand Chief of Nishnawbe Aski Nation
The chief is also calling for a review and oversight of the Thunder Bay Police Service Board — one that is currently investigating allegations of systemic racism within the force.
"It's been really disappointing with the police services board and even the mayor … saying that racism is not a factor in these deaths," he says.
"The key to any community resolving its issues is to first of all acknowledge that there are challenges in the community."
Thunder Bay Mayor Keith Hobbs admits there is a racism issue in the city, but thinks "it extends to all walks of life in every city and every province and every country of the world."
Josiah Begg, 14, was found in the river after a lengthy search. (Thunder Bay Police Service)
"I think we'd be naive to say that it doesn't," he says.
Hobbs says the police and community can't babysit the youth, but they need to get measures in place to keep them away from the rivers.
"We have to street proof those youth coming down. We have to do a better job at it. Obviously we haven't done a good enough job," Hobbs said earlier this week.
The time for finger pointing is over … we need to work together. - Keith Hobbs, mayor of Thunder Bay
Despite First Nations leaders urging the police to dig deeper when it comes to investigating Indigenous deaths, Hobbs believes the police are thorough with their investigations and doesn't think we need to "politicize death."
As for the reports of Indigenous people being thrown in the river, Hobbs says those are only assertions and there has been no evidence to prove the cases.
Related: Tammy Keeash, Josiah Begg to be remembered at prayer walk in Thunder Bay
Hobbs is a former police officer, but he is certain he can be objective as the mayor of Thunder Bay with regards to police accountability in the investigations.
However, he can't do it alone. He says they would need help from the federal and provincial government as well.
"It seems like the municipalities are getting caught up in this whole colonization simulation, the residential schools and we're having to answer to it," he says.
"The time for finger pointing is over … we need to work together."

Q: How could we use a custom product version format for Wix Product/@Version - Eg 2022.02.01? How could we use a custom product version format for Wix Product/@Version - Eg 2022.02.01?
If i do it using a compile time variable (@), it gives me the error - Product version must have a major version less than 256, a minor version less than 256, and a build version less than 65536
If i try using binder variables like file version, then it cannot have the format I need since I only need a 3-part format. Also it will not allow 02, since it makes it 2.
I've gone through some links like the below, which don't seem to help a lot with the scenario I have.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/641094
https://stackoverflow.com/a/8555951/8052403
Any suggestions/ideas/guidance?
The Wix version we use is 3.10.2.2516. However I feel the behavior is irrespective of the version.
I see some entries in the Windows Features list (highlighted in snapshot below) which seem to have values greater than 256 in major/minor versions. "How did you do that?"

A: Correct. This is not a limitation of the WiX Toolset but the Windows Installer itself. See the ProductVersion documentation for details. To get that changed, you'll want to follow up with Microsoft to update the Windows Installer to allow your specialized product version.

This second volume uncovers and traces the direct links between man and machine. Keith's unique ability to unravel complexities and establish simple, essential principles, provide both street and race riders with real tools to think about, and understand for themselves the problems of riding. The author says: "The ten years since the publication of TWIST OF THE WRIST have been exciting ones for motorcyclists. That volume was my first attempt to create a 'technology' of riding: I knew there was one, it was simply a question of finding it. But TWIST OF THE WRIST II contains more real riding technology and addresses the source of our classic rider problems."

Do you have the ability to trust and surrender, let go of control in difficult situations?
Or do you have that constant need to control or fix everything?
In one my latest modules Letting Go, I explain how I believe to become truly empowered we need to let go. It reminded me how much the ego fools us into believing that we need to or are supposed to control everything. As if the world is this terrible place that doesn't provide, nurture or support us. These deep ingrained beliefs that you are the only one who can and must make it all happen. And that you have to do this and that to be this worthy person. Completely seperates us from universal laws and god.
It's sad how much distorted perceptions we all carry from ancestral, cultural, religious and society's conditioning. And how these conscious and unconscious distortions can shape or destroy our life. What we believe or don't believe about ourselves can create great illusion and dillusion lol.
One of the biggest distorted perceptions many empaths and highly sensitive people hold. Is that their role is to constantly support, fix, heal, care or put others' needs first. Especially the way we absorb and interact with other people's energy, feeling other people's pain. We become so over identified with the healer or carer role on an unconscious and conscious level. We believe we have to, or should control or fix every situation. When this can be so far from the truth.
We all have areas of life where we think we need to or should be controlling a situation. Maybe its your family, your relationship, your colleagues or staff, career… We all try and control situations or events how we would like them to go. And making wise healthy actions in life are important but control and resitance is something else.
I spent a large part of my twenties housebound and at times bedbound. I tried so so hard to get better It was like something I had to fix, over come and of course control. But no matter how hard I tried to heal myself. I meditated 20 minutes twice a day, visualised myself healing every night going to bed. I even followed a no sugar, no gluten, no dairy diet for many years. Do all sorts of affirmations, gratitude and law of attraction courses, so many forms of healing and therapies desperate for a cure. My biggest healing breakthroughs were only when I started to let go and just be.
I remember one day I was so frustrated my body wouldn't do what I wanted it to do. I had been training to be a singer when I got ill and was still trying to get back to doing what I loved. And it just wasn't happening I could hardly walk never mind anything else. And my mum said to me "Be still and know that I am god". In a way these were not the words I wanted to hear. But looking back I realise I had tried so hard to fix, heal, myself…I had also so much shame that I wasn't better, I had trained as a healer and studied so much and I still wasn't fixed. I felt so much guilt that there was something wrong or bad about me. I just wanted to live that normal life like my friends, my siblings, I suppose it was the why me? But during these times I was unconsciously fighting, resisting my illness trying to survive.
Now I have to say I was a bit impatient in my healing journey and it wasn't plain sailing after that. Because it takes tremendous courage to truly surrender. I did get some of my health back but I was just so desperate to get some of my life back. The only way I knew how was to became self-employed. Despite still needing to sleep/rest up to 14 hours a day just to function, serious mobility and stamina issues. I just wanted to feel valued, feel worthy, have a purpose and not depend on the lowest of state benefits.
Now in many ways my business gave me so much, it was highly empowering. But underneath like most of us I hadn't healed within, where it truly mattered. That place where all di-sease, unhappiness, addictions, stress and anxiety resides. Like most of us I wanted a role, an identity to mould myself into and control. Anything but this distorted perception of myself as a disabled weak fragile woman with no value. But despite being a stress therapist, I attracted very extreme business challenges. And had an unhealthy need to fight for my businesses at almost any cost because I over identified with it. In many ways it was my baby, my relationship and a replacement for all those things I also loved that I could no longer do.
It was often only when I was forced to STOP. That I had to let go and let god that I was reminded how powerful letting go is. And believe me you would have thought I would have learned. I have received so many huge signs, particularly around my health; threatened eye loss, suspected cancer scares, surviving life threatening sepsis and so much more. I seem to be a slow learner or very very stubborn lol.
You know, when we let go and let god and just be, it is not just deeply healing or spiritual.
But it can be life transforming and magical.
In these moments, so much shifted in my life in such a deeper and profound way. We don't have to do it all alone, we don't have to live our life in a specific way.
We are supported, we are being guided, but are we listening or maybe more importantly are we trusting?
My Soul Care For Sensitives Program is packed with powerful modules to help you let go and let god, how to just be. Let go of old patterns and fears that are holding you back. My one to one sessions are tailored to your specific needs. But you also will gain amazing support from many of my free resources including my free podcast.

In the Nielsen-ratings race so far this season, the perennial leader, CBS, is clobbering the competition again. Among TV's top 20 programs, CBS claims 14, including Andy Griffith (No. 1), Lucy (2), Gomer Pyle (5), Red Skelton (6) and Ed Sullivan (10). Moreover, CBS claims an average prime-time audience that is 11% bigger than NBC's and a record 25% ahead of third-place ABC. Yet standing as No. 1 can be an honor without profit in TV country. CBS's earnings fell 43% in the third quarter compared with the same period last year, and,...

Request whitepapers
Trends in automation
New technologies determine the future of automation
Digitalization opens up undreamed-of potentials to raise productivity, but also will increase complexity. To handle this complexity in a digital enterprise it's crucial to utilize the best of automation, digitalization and IT technologies.
Artificial intelligence enables self-optimizing factories
Increased transparency and usability through augmented reality
Edge computing brings the power of the cloud to the field level
We link the latest technology, including artificial intelligence, augmented reality, the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and digital twins with our deep automation know-how in all industries where we do business. Our mission is to give holistic answers for digital enterprises that will redefine automation and provide valuable applications to the manufacturing industry.
These applications will change the way, products come to life, how they will be produced and how they evolve. Autonomous cyber-physical systems will enable a model-based engineering in a closed loop from the product design to production including feedback from the products' lifecycle itself. Engineering efforts will further go down to a minimum. In addition, use cases based on new IT technology, like edge computing or augmented reality will boost productivity to a new level.
What future technologies can do for you
When innovative technologies can be adapted to fulfill the demanding requirements of industry, they can drive productivity and availability to new heights.
Visual quality checks enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI), anomaly detection, and condition-monitoring will reduce failures and down-times. Model-based analytics that feed back insights to the digital twin of a machine or product will increase the quality of future product generations.
Increase efficiency
Individual real-time information via augmented reality (AR) that's visualized depending on the viewing angle and the role of the user will increase efficiency, e.g. during manual production processes or maintenance work . Remote analysis of a site with edge computing and AI will enable predictive maintenance, and edge computing helps to increase transparency and improve OEE based on various data sources and KPIs.
Shorten time to market
Augmented reality allows to shorten development time by visualizing a digital twin of the equipment or machine to simulate a real-world environment. Superimposed step by step instructions give human workforces more flexibility for manual production processes, e.g. allowing technician to be hands-free and thus reduce time to market.
Improve flexibility
Agile and flexible control logic enables changes in the environment and production processes, e.g. produce different types of products on the same machine without a loss of time due to machine set up. Edge computing gives flexibility to provide updates and changes remotely.

At Siemens Corporate Technology in Princeton, New Jersey and Berkeley, California, scientists and researchers are working on the future of robotics and automation. Their tools are artificial intelligence and adaptive algorithms. Their goal is to enable robots and machines to learn from experience, and thus to dispense with extensive programming.
Tomorrow's information factories
Tomorrow's production centers won't just produce parts and products; they will produce inexhaustible streams of information, resulting in positive feedback loops with their digital twins.
Pictures of the Future
Prototype robot solves problems without programming
With the help of artificial intelligence, researchers at Siemens have developed a two-armed robot that can manufacture products without having to be programmed. In a glimpse of the future of automated production, the robot's arms autonomously divide tasks and work together as one.
The Magazine: Mass customization
The factory of the future
Engineering Professor Emeritus Yoram Koren is a pioneer in computer-controlled manufacturing, robotics and production system design. In the interview, he talks about current trends of mass customization and individualized manufacturing, and his vision of the 21st century manufacturing industry.
Charter of Trust
Time for action: building a consensus for cybersecurity
Siemens has teamed up with the Munich Security Conference and other governmental and business partners to present the Charter of Trust initiative. One of the initiative's key goals is to develop and implement rules for ensuring cybersecurity throughout the networked environment.
Working together to strengthen cybersecurity
Digital connectivity is making our lives easier and boosting business competitiveness. However, the risk of cyberattacks is increasing as well, causing governments and companies to join forces in defense.
The brain behind: artificial intelligence
AI is shaping our lives not just in B2C fields, but also in sections of the economy, such as infrastructures, industry and energy distribution – yet in ways that are only indirectly noticeable.
Research Project CrESt
Teamwork for machines
Enormous potential: Siemens is a participant in the "Collaborative Embedded Systems" research project, which is charting a future in which machines will react flexibly to their environment – and cooperate with it. It would be a milestone – in particular for industry and the energy supply sector.
Five things that you need to know about artificial intelligence

Our Thermomix Beetroot Ravioli with Goats Cheese takes dinner at home to a whole new level! Served with burnt butter, crispy sage leaves and parmesan cheese – this is one dinner that you'll make over and over again.
I am SO glad you're reading this recipe because it is honestly the best thing ever!! If you asked my hubby or myself what our favourite dinner is, we would both say it's this. It's the absolute favourite in our house!
The only time consuming bit is making and rolling out the dough… otherwise it's super simple! Plus, if you're like us and only are only feeding a couple of people, then you'll have heaps of leftover ravioli that you can freeze. We often use our frozen ravioli midweek and it's seriously a 10 minute dinner to cook the pasta and make the burnt butter sauce. Easiest. Thing. Ever!!
I would highly recommend buying the pre-cooked beetroot from the vegetable section of the supermarket as it's going to save you an absolute bucket-load of time! You 'can' cook fresh beetroot in the oven but it takes at least an hour and then you need to allow them to cool completely (I've only ever done that once… until I realised the joys of pre-cooked beetroot!).
It's the creamy filling that makes this Thermomix Beetroot Ravioli with Goats Cheese so crazy good. It stays soft and delicious when it's cooked, which is just the best!
And because this pasta dish has so much flavour going on, it really only needs a super simple burnt butter sauce with crispy sage to finish it off. Trust me… this Thermomix Beetroot Ravioli with Goats Cheese is an absolute must-make.
For more great Thermomix dinners, check out our 'Thermomix Dinners eBook Bundle… 2 for $15!
Place the cooked beetroot into the Thermomix bowl and mix on Speed 8, 5 seconds. Scrape down the sides and repeat 2-3 more times or until finely chopped.
Add the eggs and mix on Speed 7, 10 seconds.
Add the plain four and mix on Interval Speed (kneading function), 6 minutes.
Remove the dough from the bowl and use the extra flour to roll into a ball. Set aside in a bowl and cover with cling wrap for 1 hour.
In a clean Thermomix bowl, add the ricotta cheese, goats cheese, mint, salt and pepper. Mix on Speed 5, 10 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat. Place the mixture into a bowl in the fridge until needed.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion out into a large thin rectangle (approximately 1/2cm thick).
Place small tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto 2 of the dough rectangles (approximately 1 inch apart).
Place the remaining two dough rectangles over the top and press down between the mixture to form small parcels.
Use a sharp knife to cut the parcels out and then close each parcels edges with a fork. Place the parcels onto a flat baking tray.
Bring a large pot of water to the boil, add the ravioli and cook until they float to the top (it will only take a couple of minutes).
Meanwhile, place the butter into a large frying pan and melt until bubbling. Add the sage leaves and stir until crispy. Add the cooked ravioli and stir for 30 seconds to coat.
Serve immediately with fresh parmesan cheese.
You can buy pre-cooked beetroot from the fresh vegetable section of most supermarkets.
If you can't buy pre-cooked beetroot, you can roast it in the oven, allow it to cool and then proceed as per the recipe.
If you're not using all of the ravioli at once, you can freeze it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. If can then be cooked from frozen.
This Thermomix Beetroot raviolis looks Awesome and fabulous over some rich color!!Thanks for sharing such yum One!!

Arthur: Foran will fit right in
Fri 20 May 2016, 12:00 PM
Dyldam Parramatta Eels Head Coach Brad Arthur has confirmed that halfback Kieran Foran is a possibility of taking the field at Pirtek Stadium on Monday, after training with his teammates on Friday morning in Parramatta.
"He has done a fair bit of work whilst he has been away," Arthur said.
"Now he just needs to get back into the fold with the team but I am sure he will just fit straight back in."
"He has probably done more training than the players have," Arthur added.
"He has managed to do a bit of kicking, with the skill training, he hasn't done a lot of but you saw his first game with us against the Cowboys in Round Two where he had been off a limited preparation and he did enough to help us get over the line."
"It is the same if he had an injury for 3-4 weeks, he has missed two games so it's not that long away from the game."
If the number seven slots back into the side for the Round 11 fixture, Arthur confirmed that Brad Takairangi will return to his preferred centre position.
"'Takaz' will go back out into the centres, and whilst Foz will really help with our attack, he is probably more prominent with our defence," Arthur said.
"Brad has done a really good job for us in the halves but there is a really big difference from the centres."
"Your tackle account probably gets doubled [in the halves], and your decision-making is different, but he did a good job. But with Foz back that will really help our defence on the right edge."
The Eels have dealt with plenty of off-field distractions recently, and Arthur welcomed the chance for the playing group as a whole to forget speculaton and focus on rebounding from a heartbreaking Round 10 loss to the Rabbitohs.
"Maybe we were a little bit underdone with our preparation going into the Souths game," Arthur said.
"It's not an excuse: we did enough to win the game, [and] we threw it away, but yes, there has been a lot more footy concentrated on this week."
The next test for the Blue and Gold comes against the in-form Melbourne Storm, which Arthur predicts will be no easy encounter.
"They are playing really well. Obviously with a couple of big players that they have got, and a good coach, they are well drilled and everyone does their job really well," Arthur said
"We are going to have to make sure we play our style of footy and not try to be dragged into their style."
"Our completions, making our tackles and just doing all the real basic fundamentals of the game right will give us an opportunity to play a bit of footy at them."
The Eels take on the Melbourne Storm at Pirtek Stadium on Monday 23 May. Click here to see all the Round 11 Game Day Info or to purchase your tickets to the clash.
