Review - Brave
When it was first announced (under the title The Bear and the Bow), Brave was widely considered a bold and necessary step forward for Pixar. Despite all of their innovations and success, the studio has often been criticised as something of a boys' club, with no female filmmakers or leading female protagonists being able to make a mark in their films. Brave was the film that was going to rectify that, and while it has lost its female director – Brenda Chapman having left the project during its bumpy production – the film's central character Merida is one for the ages. Tough, adventurous, beautiful and skilfully voiced by Kelly Macdonald, Merida is a heroine who manages to feel contemporary in a traditional story. She's an instantly engaging character, but she really deserves to be in a better movie.
Set Once Upon a Time in some fairytale vision of the Scottish Highlands, Brave is the story of a young woman being moulded for one role and choosing to follow a different path. Merida's mother Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson) is embarrassed by her daughter's tomboyish behaviour and yearns for her to behave like a real princess. Her father King Fergus (Billy Connolly) doesn't share his wife's worries over Merida's desire to pursue archery over marriage, in fact he encourages it, delighting Merida and her three young siblings with his anecdotes about the great bear that took his leg many years ago. As in How to Train Your Dragon, the male Scots are depicted in a broad manner as a bellicose bunch primarily interested in drinking and fighting; but the focus of this film – and where it is at its best – is the strained relationship between a mother and daughter.
This relationship is skilfully drawn in the film's opening half-hour. The inability of both Elinor and Merida to make the other party see things from their point of view is convincingly played, and it leads to the film's single best sequence. When suitors from neighbouring clans are invited to partake in a series of challenges to win Merida's hand, the teenager embarrasses both them and her own mother by displaying superior archery skills. The fight between mother and daughter that follows has a tangible emotional depth to it, with a cruel act committed in anger by Merida particularly stinging Elinor. To see a family film focusing on real family conflict is interesting, but this proves to be the movie's dramatic highpoint, as Merida's subsequent rash decision to have a witch cast a spell on her mother sees Brave's narrative taking a turn for the worse.
There are some lovely touches in Brave's second half – particularly the animation of Elinor after the witch's spell has taken hold – but the film seems to run out of inspiration halfway through. After so much time is expended on Merida and Elinor sneaking out of the castle, my heart sank when a similar sequence took place later with the pair trying to sneak back in to the castle. It looks suspiciously like padding in a film that already feels slight, and the jumbled introduction of a backstory to explain the presence of a ferocious, marauding bear doesn't really work. Brave does possess all of the visual beauty that we expect from a Pixar movie, with its atmospheric rendering of Scottish woodlands being particularly pleasing, but this awkward marriage of Pixar storytelling with a more Disney-ish milieu has resulted in one of their most underwhelming and frustrating pictures. Disney managed to deliver a revitalised fairytale story with last year's Tangled – a film with wit and energy to spare – and Brave feels a little half-cooked in comparison. There's no point making forward strides with a female central character if the film that surrounds her feels like a backward step.
Blu-Ray Review - This Must Be the Place
This Must Be the Place is Paolo Sorrentino's typically distinctive take on the American road movie, but the Italian director's first English-language feature is all over the map. It's hard to identify how and why the director has failed so comprehensively here, because simply describing the premise instantly makes it sound like some degree of entertainment is guaranteed. A Goth ex-rocker, now living in Dublin, hears that his father has passed away in the United States and resolves to hunt down the Nazi who made his father's life a misery in the concentration camp he languished in. It's an unusual plot and it deserves a most unusual protagonist, with Sean Penn giving the loopiest turn of his career as the timid, fey Cheyenne.
Penn's committed performance as Cheyenne lends the character a surprising amount of depth, with a lingering sadness being evident in his portrayal of a man who hasn't performed since two fans killed themselves some years earlier, apparently inspired by his lyrics. The makeup-clad Cheyenne now exists in a state of inertia, occasionally enlivened by games of handball with his wife (Frances McDormand) in the couple's empty swimming pool or by visits to his young friend Mary (Eve Hewson), whose mother is similarly lost, gazing out of the window for the son who left home and never returned. This sense of yearning, of wishing to accomplish something or to put things back the way they were, permeates through This Must Be the Place in a number of ways.
The opening section of the film in Ireland may have little to do with where This Must Be the Place ultimately ends up, but it's the best part of the picture, where Sorrentino successfully introduces this intriguing character and scores with his eccentric comic tone. A scene in which Cheyenne awkwardly but endearingly attempts to set up Mary with a date is amusingly played, and McDormand brings a vital spark to her performance, suggesting the good humour and affection that has kept this marriage going for thirty years. Sorrentino's three previous features have centred on inscrutable and frequently unlikable characters; but while Cheyenne is initially a hard figure to read – with his childlike voice posing non-sequitous questions such as "Why is Lady Gaga?" –he's at least a character whose company we enjoy, and someone we're keen to know more about.
We never really do get to know Cheyenne, beyond what we can gleam from Penn's curious and consistently fascinating performance. When he makes the trip to America (sadly leaving McDormand behind), the film becomes more about the strange journey he undergoes and the collection of interesting/eccentric/threatening characters he meets on the road. Judd Hirsch brings a pleasing down-to-earth frankness to his performance as Nazi Hunter Mordecai Midler, but too many of Cheyenne's encounters leave us wondering what the purpose of them was. The film is episodic and facile, and while some individual sequences have entertainment value (It's hard to not chuckle as Cheyenne is trapped in the corner of a kitchen by a troublesome goose) they don't accumulate any weight. I'm not sure what Sorrentino has to say about America as seen through an outsider's eye, and I'm not sure that he does either. A single-scene cameo from Harry Dean Stanton only reminds us that other filmmakers such as Wim Wenders have taken us down this road many times before.
Of course, the film is directed with panache and wit, as we have come to expect from Sorrentino. The centrepiece of the film is a performance of David Byrne's This Must Be the Place, which is superbly staged, and in isolated moments such as this, Sorrentino's film briefly possesses a mesmerising quality. But too often that spell is broken by the director dropping the ball in a clumsy fashion (in this instance, it's a stilted and unnecessary acting cameo from Byrne), and the film continues to proceed on its uneven, unfocused way to a climax that feels horribly misjudged. When Sorrentino tries to draw pathos from the reappearance of the mother pining for her son, it didn't work for me because I had completely forgotten she existed, so wayward and inconsequential the intervening hour had been. I was also baffled by Penn's altered appearance in this coda, and unable to draw a line between the two incarnations of Cheyenne that we see. The star's central performance feels like the one ingredient of This Must Be the Place that's sure of itself, that feels consistent and thought-through, but even this aspect of the film, in the movie's closing moments, is finally cut adrift.
Sean Penn is conspicuous by his absence from the interviews included on this disc, but those who do share their views on the film - from Sorrentino and David Byrne to a couple of cast members - are fairly interesting to listen to. Each interview runs for 5-10 minutes. A number of deleted scenes are included and are worth checking out, but it's often hard to see how they would have fit into an already troublesome narrative. Both the UK theatrical cut and the Cannes versions of the film are available to view on the blu-ray, and it's possible to watch the film with footnotes explaining how and where the various cuts were made.
This Must Be the Place is out on Blu-Ray and DVD now.
Review - The Forgiveness of Blood
The path cuts across a sparse field, its entrance blocked by stones. It doesn't look like much, but this site is the catalyst for a feud that tears a family apart in The Forgiveness of Blood. When Mark (Refet Abazi) finds his usual route blocked, he takes issue with his neighbour Sokol, who now owns the land that once belonged to Mark's family. The feud escalates between the two families, and within a couple of days Sokol is dead, while Mark has disappeared and his brother Zef has been arrested for murder. I should mention at this point that The Forgiveness of Blood takes place in a remote village in northern Albania, and it is a place where people take justice into their own hands.
Blood feuds may seem like an archaic tradition to many of us, but in this region they still thrive, and it has been estimated that more than 10,000 such conflicts have claimed lives of men in Albania over the past twenty years. The tradition at the centre of this film's plot is "The Kanun", which stipulates that Sokol's family has the right to kill Mark's male offspring in the patriarch's absence, so his 17 year-old son Nik (Tristan Halilaj) immediately becomes the target. With his life in the balance, Nik essentially becomes a prisoner in his own home, unable to leave the boundaries of his home until a truce has been reached. The Forgiveness of Blood explores this situation through the eyes of Nik and his sister Rudina (Sindi Lacej), both of whom feel the full weight of familial responsibility bearing down on their young shoulders.
The Forgiveness of Blood is the second film from American director Joshua Marston, who made his debut in 2004 with the Mexico-set drugs drama Maria Full of Grace. The film focused on the experiences of a teenage drug mule, and this picture also deals with youngsters forced to deal with situations that they have been thrust into by their elders. Much of the tension in The Forgiveness of Blood is drawn from the contrast between the attitudes of its young characters and the old-world society they live in. Nik is like any other teenager, he just wants to play computer games, text his friends and meet girls, but he finds himself trapped by a dispute he never wanted any part of. Similarly, his sister needs to put her life on hold to go out and become the family's breadwinner, taking on her father's bread run and facing the glares of an intimidating mans' world.
Marston's screenplay, put together with the help of Albanian filmmaker Andamion Murataj, takes a measured, low-key approach to this violent tradition. All bloodshed and confrontations occur offscreen, with Marston instead emphasising the everyday sense of threat that hangs over this family. The film is claustrophobic and compelling, with Marston crafting a film that works as both a character study and an exploration of a wider culture. At its core, The Forgiveness of Blood may follow the traditional framework of a coming-of-age tale, but the curious spirit and compassion that Marston has shown in taking us to such unfamiliar and intriguing territory makes it feel disarmingly fresh. We can only hope it won't be another seven years before this talented filmmaker returns from his travels with more stories to tell.
Review - Undefeated
This is the kind of story that one could easily imagine Hollywood turning into an inspiring movie. Undefeated is the study of a no-hope football team, full of young players beset by emotional, cultural and academic obstacles, and led by a coach driven by nothing more than his bottomless passion for the game. Over the course of one season, the Manassas Tigers are transformed from the state's whipping boys to a team fighting for the championship, and their resilience in coming back from behind on so many occasions is testament to the self-belief that coach Bill Courtney instils in them. Undefeated follows this team across a perfect narrative arc – it even has a climactic match that finishes in a nailbiting fashion.
But this is a documentary, not a fiction, and the young men who take to the field to represent their school are real people facing uncertain futures. "For most coaches, that would be a career's worth of crap to deal with," Courtney says, as he recalls having to deal with players fighting and getting shot or arrested, "I think that sums up the last two weeks for me." Courtney is a volunteer coach who has been taking charge of the Tigers for the past six years, devoting an extraordinary amount of time to the students in his care, often at the expense of his own four children. He also runs a lumber business but he would give it all up tomorrow to coach full-time if he could. He's a good man who really wants to make a difference, and he's more than a coach to the Manassas Tigers players; he's a mentor, a confidant, a friend and a father figure, even as dealing with these teens often drives him to exasperation. "This isn't part of the job description" he complains as he drives out to a player's home, before admitting that he doesn't really know what the job description is anymore.
Undefeated focuses on three members of the team, each of whom have a story to tell. Chavis is a young man with an explosive temper whose inability to control his emotions has landed him in jail; Montrail – nicknamed "Money" – has lost his father and faces injury problems; star player OC wants a football college scholarship but his grades aren't up to scratch. Through their experiences, the film's co-directors Dan Lindsay and TJ Martin attempt to paint a portrait of a whole generation of young men, whose prospects look bleak in a town decimated by the closure of its main tyre plant. For most of these boys, football is the only route out, but not everyone can make the grade and we are left wondering what happens to those who are left behind. Undefeated's narrow focus is perhaps necessary, but a young man being offered a college scholarship out of the blue is the exception, not the rule, and there are so many questions lingering in the background of this story.
I don't know if Undefeated could have addressed the full complexity of such issues, as the first half of the film does already feel a little sluggish and unfocused. It improves immeasurably in the second half, however, as the team drives towards its playoff game and the directors succeed in drawing us into the drama. A knowledge of American football is not a prerequisite for being affected by Undefeated, as the raw, heightened emotion of the last half-hour is likely to breach the sturdiest audience defence, and the film captures a couple of moments in particular that knocked the wind out of me. In these moving sequences we can see boys becoming men, drawing strength from both their successes and their failures, and repaying Coach Courtney's faith in them. "You think football builds character. It does not," he tells his players, "It reveals character." Whether they will have the character, strength, discipline and good fortune to survive what lies beyond the events documented in Undefeated is another matter entirely.

Miles for Emma - Croagh Patrick Climb
The 30th of August 2015 is a date I'll never forget as long as I live… the Miles for Emma 4 peak Challenge was our second event to promote Equality and awareness for Children with Special Needs and unlike the last time it was an early start with a 4:45am alarm call to be on the road for 5:30am. The drive from Ballinasloe to Westport was filled with anticipation, nervousness, determination… basically a host of emotions…
We arrived at the foot of the Mountain for 7:30am where I was greeted by those who had arrived before us and was quickly followed by a host of other climbers and even at that early hour we had a strong contingent with over 24 climbers… 3 were already on the mountain having started at 6am and were soon to be followed by the Official first wave at 8am…
The first ascent was an enjoyable experience the fact it was such a beautiful morning… spirits were high and with a group of first time climbers in tow you could feel the excitement in the air… and even though there is nothing easy about climbing Croagh Patrick… We all reached the summit in good time and good form where even a little bit of Hurling was enjoyed with a sliotar or two been driven off the Mountain… you never know it might bring us a bit of Luck next Sunday…
The first descent was one of mixed styles with some of us throwing all caution to the wind and running down while a few others took the safer option of correct foot placement.We landed back in the Car park just in time to welcome our latest arrivals which included a group from the Ballinasloe Cycle club who had just completed the 130km trip from Ballinasloe to climb the reek and would have the return cycle on completion of their climb… our next arrivals was our first Bus load form Ballinasloe which was organised by Tommie Costello of Cuckoo hill at this stage now our numbers were starting to swell and a sea of Purple was starting to emerge at the foot of the mountain.
After a half an hour break and a few photos we started off on our second ascent joined by our latest editions… By now we had both adults and kids climbing side by side all decked out in Purple and it was starting to look very impressive as the colour purple could be seen quite evidently on the Mountain as each group climbed at their own pace… The weather turned a small bit on the second climb but it was short lived and was not our biggest discomfort as we were unfortunately joined by another group on the mountain "midges" they couldn't take the hint that they weren't welcome and seemed to be waiting in the first section of the climb ready to hijack climbers on both there ascent and descent… But never the less that didn't stop us…On our way down off the top for a second time we would be met by our second Bus load on the way up… The Scarriff Foroige group who travelled the whole way from Co. Clare to Support Miles for Emma we also met a load of other supporters who had decided on a later start time. This included Grannie, Maeve and Co who had cycled up the day before in preparation for Sunday.
As we entered the car park for a second time the task in hand was starting to take its toll… for some the adventure was over with either one of two climbs under there belts they called it a day in saying that it was still and unbelievable achievement in its own right… But for some of us it was time to prep and get ready to face the mountain for a 3rd time… as I nursed a blister on my right foot I have to say I questioned my own sanity but as I've said so many times when it comes to events that ship left the port years ago… as I sat in my car fuelling the body for what I believed would be my last ascent I felt a real sense of achievement… not at what I had done thus far but the event as a whole…
I have to say seeing all those T-shirts on the mountain made me feel so proud and with the reaction we were receiving from fellow climbers who showed a real genuine interest in what we were doing proved we had in some way got our message of Equality and Awareness for Children with Special needs out there…
This was what got me to my feet and pushed me towards those infamous steps that lead to the Statue of St Patrick where on this occasion I actually gave the big man a Thumbs up as I Passed… I don't know why maybe it was a subconscious request for the strength to get up and down again in one piece… I didn't push this time stopping to chat with all my fellow Miles for Emma Climbers on their way down and anyone else who showed interest in what we were doing… Once I reached the top of the first section which I would just like to highlight was the one section I hated the most… a second breath kicked in and was flying it again… at this point I came across the Stone writings where Sinead, Eoin and Daithi had climbed down to write Miles 4 Emma in rocks… I won't lie… Very emotional..!!
I pushed on meeting a multitude of Purple decked out climbers all delighted to have been on the mountain all delight to do their bit to help promote our cause...!! On reaching the Summit for the 3rd time I met up with Aiden Morrissey who would be the first person to climb the reek 4 times… after a photo or two with Aiden he would enjoy his final descent with his little niece Matilda… I did my normal run down meeting a few late arrivals who were climbing for the first time and our 6am starters Emma and her crew who were on their 4th and final ascent…
I won't lie that on my way down that 3rd time I did contemplate turning and going back up and as I popped from rock to stone I had a quite lively debate about the pros and cons of going back up in my head… But I knew I was Tired and that the blister on my foot would just make it twice as uncomfortable and I also had the mindset that if anything went wrong it would have ruined everything and I didn't want to take the shine off the day so I decided to call it a day.. I convinced my self that the fact I had climbed the mountain last Thursday in my Miles for Emma T-shirt added to the 3 climbs on Sunday… that gave me 4…!! After eight and a half hours of which I had spent seven and a half on the Mountain I Stopped.
Over 140 Miles for Emma Supporters climbed Croagh Patrick On Sunday the 30th Of that total 6 completed the 4 climbs 4 completed 3 climbs 9 completed 2 climbs.We also had a host of individual who climbed the Mountain for the first Time…
One Word "SUCCESS"
I've collected a load of photos from our climbers and with our favourite photographer Kaisa whose album is available here, I hope you can all relive and enjoy what was in a word a SPECIAL day..!!
On behalf of Myself, Michelle, Claire and the Little Miss her self Emma..!!
Thank You… See you all at our next adventure..2016

New Music News: Who Is Justin Bieber's "Heartbreaker?"
By Alyssa Norwin, June 4, 2013
Who's ready for some new Justin Bieber tunes?! It looks like we won't have to wait too long. Trying to one-up his pal Miley Cyrus, perhaps, who just released a highly-anticipated single on Monday, Justin shared on Instagram that his next single will be called "Heartbreaker."
After attending the Miami Heat game on Monday night, Justin posted the cover art for "Heartbreaker" four separate times, each with a different caption. The first one read, "…Coming Soon," followed by, "Tell a friend to tell a friend," and "Don't tell me your my…. #justinbieber#heartbreaker." He concluded with the straightforward news, "Heartbreaker #Justinbiebernewsingle."
So… could "Don't tell me you're my heartbreaker," be a line from the song? And is he referring to Selena Gomez in the lyrics? Unfortunately, besides "soon," Justin gave no indication of when the single will actually come out, but chances are he's gearing up for it to be a summer hit!

Aleksandar Mitrovic played a prominent role in Fulham's promotion from the Championship after joining the club on loan from Newcastle United last January and has signed a five-year contract.
Serbia international Aleksandar Mitrovic has moved to Fulham on a permanent deal, the promoted Premier League club said in a statement online.
The 23-year-old striker played a prominent role in Fulham's promotion from the Championship after joining the club on loan from Newcastle United last January and has signed a five-year contract.
"I'm delighted to announce that Aleksandar Mitrovic is back where he belongs at Fulham Football Club!" owner Tony Khan said.
Mitrovic scored 12 times in 17 starts for Fulham to help the club reach the playoffs, and the team beat Aston Villa 1-0 in the final at Wembley to return to the top flight for the first time since the 2013-14 season.
"I'm very glad and happy and proud to finally be here and officially become a Fulham player. I'm happy to the moon and back," the Serb said.
Financial details of the deal were not disclosed, but Sky Sports reported that the clubs had agreed a fee of 22 million pounds ($28.89 million) for the striker that could rise to 27 million pounds once add-ons are included.

The implementation of clinical research projects requires conscientious review of research projects not only in terms of their scientific quality but also in regard to their ethical adequacy and appropriateness. How can we balance the risk benefit of our projects? Given the importance of ethics for the conduct of drug development and research, it should come as no surprise that many different professional associations, government agencies, and universities have adopted specific codes, rules, and policies relating to research ethics.
Each of these aspects will be carefully considered and discussed in the context of international and national principles and guidelines. These issues need to be carefully adhered to strengthen the health of the clinical trial enterprise to the benefit of patients and the overall health of the public. During our course, representatives from different institutions will introduce and discuss the most important concepts, tools, principles, and methods that can be useful in approaching and resolving ethical dilemmas. Realworld examples and case studies will be introduced and discussed.
The course incl. assessment provides 2 ECTS credits.

Harry Styles is about to debut his acting career in Christopher Nolan's new war movie "Dunkirk", and we're not okay after watching this new interview.
Harry sits alongside co-star Fionn Whitehead, and we're #blessed with Hazza's beautiful, slow voice yet again.
"I did a little bit of it when I was younger," Harry revealed, when he was asked if acting was something he has always wanted to do.
"I think with this when I heard about to project it just sounded so exciting, and the prospect of getting to work with Chris [Nolan] was incredibly exciting. Now I feel very lucky to be a part of something so amazing."
But when it comes to what is more nerve wracking between being on stage or acting... "Being a fan of Chris' movies and being on set with him, it's hard not to be in awe of him. You definitely feel like you don't want to let him down. It's a big part of the nerves," he revealed.
One of the cutest moments was when the interviewer asked what they would personally sacrifice their lives for, in which Harry gets all nervous and dances around the question.
After he talks about what the soldiers would sacrifice their lives for, the interviewer calls him out for not answering and he agrees, "I skipped around it."
Watch the entire interview below, and GET KEEN!

Kratos' New Airwolf Combat Drone Has Launched A Switchblade Loitering Munition In Flight
Kratos has demonstrated the ability of its Airwolf unmanned aircraft to air-launch an AeroVironment Switchblade loitering munition, also commonly referred to as a "suicide drone." This test has opened up a significant new "opportunity space" for how Airwolf, which is derived from its MQM-178 Firejet aerial target, could be employed operationally. The company has only given out relatively limited details about Airwolf, which is the smallest and cheapest of its publicly disclosed tactical designs, in the past and just released its first picture of one of these drones earlier this month. You can read more about what we had already been able to glean about this drone here.

ProctorU Proposes Student Bill of Rights for Remote and Digital Work
StudentTestingRights.org launched as an open forum to discuss academic integrity and privacy
HOOVER, Ala.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, ProctorU announced it has released a Student Bill of Rights in support of academic honesty, privacy, and data security for students who complete remote and digital academic work or assessments. The Student Bill of Rights for Remote and Digital Work, first drafted by ProctorU with input from faculty and academic leaders, is now available for public review and comment from interested parties. Click to Tweet.
"This is an unprecedented time when millions of students have been pushed into remote learning almost overnight. Naturally, there are going to be adjustments going forward," said Dr. Amy Smith, Chief Learning Officer of Straighterline, Inc, a college readiness company offering online general education courses. "This Bill of Rights is a worthy start to establishing baseline rights students can expect for online assessment submission, evaluation, tracking, and storage procedures. I look forward to being a part of its evolution."
"Taking a test or doing work online should be no different than doing that same work in person, in a classroom," said Scott McFarland, CEO of ProctorU. "There's no reason students should feel their work is more at risk, that the integrity standards are any different or that they have to surrender any more privacy to be online. Students should be protected in all of those areas."
The Student Bill of Rights for Remote and Digital Work delineates seven areas of rights and expectations for students related to their schools, testing proctors and providers, their fellow students and others. These are:
The right to have questions answered
The expectation that a student's work is presumed honest and accurate
That entities engaged in remote academic work or assessments are compliant with laws and regulations related to student privacy and student data
The right to review and understand policies protecting students and their work
The right to review and understand policies that keep a student from being disadvantaged by the misconduct of others
The right to understand why data is collected and retained and whether it is disseminated
The expectation that data collection is specific and limited
"All students, online and otherwise, should expect that there are set policies for integrity and privacy and that those policies are designed and used to protect their work, the value of their learning and their privacy," McFarland said. "But more than that, students should be able to see those policies, understand them, and make good decisions. It all starts with open and clear communication."
Find the Student Bill of Rights at StudentTestingRights.org. Input is welcome and those wishing to be involved in a coalition may express that desire on the "contact us" page or via email at info@StudentTestingRights.org.

Infographic: Why Email Is Still a Must for Nonprofit Fundraising
By Sean Norris
Email. Love it or hate it, one thing is for sure: You need to be using it in your fundraising efforts. But email is no longer new—in that regard, it has more in common with direct mail than it does with social media or other app-based channels. For some, it's become routine and unsexy, and with that comes a dangerous tendency to view email as a necessary evil, rather than a bonafide fundraising and marketing workhorse.
"Why Email is Still a Must for Nonprofit Fundraising," an infographic from Salsa Labs, is here to prove otherwise. Some of the big takeaways:
Email's return on investment is higher than any other marketing channel, at $40 for every $1 spent
Email audiences are about five times larger than social media audiences
About one-third of nonprofits' online fundraising revenue is generated by email
These are promising indicators of email's powerful fundraising potential, but they represent the best-case scenario—you can't just blindly send email and expect to attain these results. The infographic points out that the average person receives a ton of email (76 messages per day) and that 97 percent of all email is marked as junk, trash or spam. There's also the risk of email fatigue, which could lead to recipients "tuning out" your communications.
What can you do about it? The infographic offers a few tips, including target word counts (500 words is ideal for newsletters) and subject line lengths (28 to 39 characters). It also includes some jaw-dropping statistics: Personalized emails yield a 244 percent increase in open rates and a 161 percent increase in click-through rates.

Huawei Surprise News: Mate 30 Pro Google Apps Workaround Still Good
David Phelan Senior Contributor
I write about lifestyle tech
The Huawei Mate 30 Pro is phenomenal. It looks stunning, with its waterfall display that shimmies down the sides of the phone. It has four great cameras that work brilliantly together. It has innovations like the absence of a volume rocker - double-tap the edge of the waterfall display and you activate a volume control on the edge.
There's much more.
Front and rear of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro.
@evleaks
But there's also a downside. Because of the continuing presence of Huawei on the Entity List which prevents the company doing business with U.S. organizations, it doesn't have Google Mobile Services on board, meaning Google Play Store, Gmail, Google Maps and other apps are not pre-loaded. Nor are they downloadable.
Well, that might be a problem.
But recently, a mysterious website called LZPlay.net appeared which made adding Google Mobile Services an absolute breeze. Press an onscreen button, and you're done. All apps working fine, no problem at all.
This is appealing because a lot of prospective customers would be prepared to spend a couple of minutes while setting up their phones to add all these services so easily.
That's not to say there's aren't issues with using the LZPlay.net system, to do with security and the permissions you're giving to an unknown company. After all, Huawei says it has had no dealings with LZPlay.
A setback arrived, however, earlier in the week when LZPlay vanished from the internet and some users reported that Google Pay had ceased working.
I've been talking in depth to several sources from both inside and outside Huawei who did not wish to be named. Here's what they said.
Huawei Mate 30 Pro - with Google apps installed.
David Phelan
The workaround is still working fine
One insider had put Google Mobile Services on their Huawei Mate 30 Pro easily and successfully.
All the apps they installed worked immediately and as you'd expect them to. What's more, they say, they are all continuing to work perfectly, and with no surprises.
The Huawei Mate 30 Pro looking pretty snappy.
So, what about Google Pay failing for some users?
It is possible that the issue may have arisen depending on which version of EMUI, the Huawei operating system overlay, was being used, so it's a complicated situation.
One user from outside Huawei has told me they have found Google Pay conflicts on other Huawei handsets, too, ones which are already running full Google Mobile Services. In that case, the phone is on EMUI 10, which is still beta software, so that may be the cause. In which case, it's possible that these are issues that will change for all users as EMUI 10 is updated and released to the public.
With so few people actually using the new phone outside China (it's a rampant success already in its home market), it's hard to draw decisive conclusions.
Also read: Huawei's Dazzling New P30 Pro Smartphone Launches With Huge Price Cut
Huawei Mate 30 Pro.
Will the Huawei Mate 30 Pro be released outside China?
Yes. It's definitely coming to Europe, for instance, and soon. It could be as early as next month, though no date has been set and these things can change.
If there are no Google Mobile Services, is the Huawei Mate 30 Pro dead in the water?
Actually, maybe not.
True, everyone wants Gmail, Google Maps and so on. But, truth to tell, an awful lot of apps are available in the Huawei App Gallery, the company's own version of the Play Store. These include Here WeGo maps which is an outstanding alternative to Google Maps, for instance. Not least because its offline use is tremendous. You download free country maps in advance so you can turn off data roaming while you're, well, roaming.
Lacking the Gmail app may not be a problem - just as iPhone users regularly use Apple's own Mail app to read their Gmails, so Huawei's own mail app may suffice.
And there are many examples of apps found in the Huawei App Gallery which offer credible alternatives to the popular apps in Google Play Store. Netflix is an exception, but that could come to the Huawei App Gallery easily enough.
Another source says they've found that running a Huawei Mate 30 Pro with the basic Android that comes supplied turns out to be a highly satisfying experience, even if some of the apps are a bit different.
Of course, I'm not saying the Huawei Mate 30 Pro will be as useful without Google Mobile Services, but it'll still have a lot going for it. And that's before we even talk about the company's own HarmonyOS which could be installed instead. That new system even looks the same as a Huawei phone running Android, thanks to the EMUI overlay which sits on top of both.
The situation will only be conclusively resolved if Huawei is taken off the Entity List which prevents trading with the U.S. At the rate things are changing, that can't be ruled out, either.

Q: Eclipse Auto Generate Doxygen Comments Configuration It seems Eclipse has Doxygen support somewhat natively now.  Go to C/C++ -> Editors -> Documentation Tool Comments: Doxygen.
However it appears to only act on /** */ comments for auto generating.
In our project we use triple slash /// to generate doxygen comments.
It seems there is no way to configure Doxygen comment generation in Eclipse.  Any tips?  Is there a config file we can alter?  Some way to force it.

A: Unfortunately as of posting this answer there is no solution.  The doxygen comment style is apparently hard coded in Eclipse Juno and previous.  You can see a bug report here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=333134
There are workarounds but none support the auto doxygen comments generated in eclipse by merely typing '///[enter]'.  See here for some attempts: Change doxygen comment style in Eclipse
A C++ code template is a good attempt but leaves a lot to be desired.
Until this changes this is the accepted answer.

A: Old question but it's better to add a fresh answer, currently eclipse cdt 9.10 in 2019-12 fully support /// and //! styles, in 2020-03 has been added few options to customize doxygen behavior

Braxston Cave lost for the season
By Keith ArnoldNov 8, 2011, 12:45 PM EST
The details of the injury are still scant, but Brian Kelly announced this morning that starting center Braxston Cave will be lost for the remainder of the season. The injury will push senior Mike Golic into the lineup, the first change in the starting offensive line this year.
"Braxston Cave will be out for the season. He is going to get surgery in the next few days," Kelly said. "I don't have the technical information for you other than to tell you that they have to go in there and repair a ligament, so he'll be lost for the year. It's a tough loss for us and Braxston has been a consistent performer for us over the past few years. We feel terrible for Braxston and he's given us everything over the past two years but he will be back, and that's the good part about it."
Saturday, Kelly thought Cave had a mid-foot sprain, and sounded upbeat about the overnight healing process. But an MRI likely revealed an injury that took the team's senior center — who still has a year of eligibility remaining — out and thrust Golic, playing his first significant minutes against Wake Forest, into a unit that's the strength of the team.
Kelly sounded confident that the Golic would be able to step in and keep the unit playing great football.
"We have a great deal of confidence in Mike Golic," Kelly said. "Mike came in and played very well for us. I think when you look at the center position there's always a great concern because that guy is put in a very difficult situation with shotgun snaps and changing up the cadence, calling out some of the defensive fronts and structures, but Mike's done a nice job and we have a great deal of confidence. It's a next man in situation for us with Mike going in there."
Kelly cited Golic's improvement physically over the last 18 months, with the center making great strides in Paul Longo's strength program. He also cited Golic's comfort working from the shotgun, where his snaps were all crisp and quick back to Tommy Rees on Saturday, the first, but very important, step that goes with playing the position.
Fifth-year grad student Andrew Nuss will slide in at the No. 2 center position, while sophomore Bruce Heggie will move up into the No. 2 slot at left guard behind Chris Watt. That Golic gets the starting nod over Nuss shows you that it isn't just lip-service being paid by Kelly when he's complimented the work the senior has done. Similarly, that Heggie now slides into the back-up role at guard likely means he's done enough to impress the staff with his athleticism and versatility, and also that the coaches don't want to burn a year of eligibility on players like Conor Hanratty and Nick Martin, two freshman that have impressed this year.
Kelly wasn't ready to talk about the trio of players dealing with ankle injuries, with Manti Te'o, Aaron Lynch and Ethan Johnson all on the mend. But he did announce that Theo Riddick would miss Saturday's game with a hamstring injury, another injury setback for the junior wide receiver.

Y-D & Bourne out of the gate
Y-D Red Sox and Bourne Braves Come Out of the Gate on all Cylinders
Nice ups -- Cotuit Kettleer first baseman Scott Edwardsen (Le Moyne) leaps for a line drive versus the Y-D Red Sox.
COTUIT - High fives abounded at Lowell Park Wednesday night, but they were coming directly from the visitors' dugout as the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox continued their torrid streak that began after an Opening Day home loss to the Hyannis Mets.
Head Coach Scott Pickler's (Cypress Jr. College) boys remained tied with the Orleans Cardinals for first place in the East Division with both teams at 6-2, but it was Y-D that left Wednesday night's action, hot on a five-game winning streak.
Much thanks was owed to the rough and tumble Y-D first baseman/catcher John Baker (UC Berkeley) who went 4-4 versus the Kettleers and finished Week one fourth in the Cape League in hitting (.379) and tied for first in runs batted in (7) with Orleans' sluggers Larry Broadway and Steve Guthrie. Y-D's Ryan Klocksein (Kansas) was also on fire for the Red Sox through the end of week one, batting .409 and tied for second in the league with Bourne's Nick Italiano (see below).
Michigan's Bobby Korecky was on top of his game versus the Kettleers, picking up his first CCBL win of the season after a rough outing versus Hyannis on Opening Day. Korecky went 3-5 with a 2.45 ERA for the Chatham A's last summer before landing a spot in the Red Sox rotation this summer.
USC's Alberto Concepcion fires to first from his knees and gets the runner as Y-D's John Baker watches from the batter's box before ripping a triple. Sean Walsh/CCBL 2001
Few around the league seemed surprised to see Brian Stavisky's name atop the league batting leaders by week's end as Notre Dame's finest was hitting a solid .464. Stavisky, an Academic All-American in just his sophomore season for the Fightin' Irish in 2001, was a Cape League All-Star last season and MVP for the West Division in the 2000 Sprint PCS Cape League All-Star Game at Brewster. He also led the Hyannis Mets to the CCBL title series last summer.
Bourne's Nick Italiano remained the hot hitter for the Braves through the end of week one, slicing away at a pretty, .409 clip to help keep his squad one point ahead of Falmouth and in first place in the West Division. While the Braves as a team were hitting a combined .193, Ryan Speier (Radford University) may have proven the answer as the Bourne relief ace stood atop all CCBL relievers with five saves.
Three in a row -- Y-D third baseman Hyung Cho (Houston), shortstop Tila Reynolds (Washington) and centerfielder Adam Bourassa (Kishwaukee) pose an iron curtain in the field.
The Falmouth Commodores - hosts of the upcoming 2001 Sprint PCS Cape League All-Star Game at Guv Fuller Field (July 21) - proved to be a force to be reckoned with on the mound. By week's end, Head Coach Jeff Trundy's (The Gunnery) pitching corps were leading the CCBL in team ERA at 1.61 and had allowed a stingy 39 hits in eight games.
Baylor's Steven White led the CCBL with a 2-0 record and a 0.oo ERA with 19 Ks and just five walks in 14 innings pitched. Hot on White's trail was teammate Steven Jackson (Clemson) who was 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA. Tied with White for the league lead in wins and ERA was Chatham A's righty Corey Hamman (Montclair State), first listed on the A's roster as a temporary player but whom may have increased his chances of a permanent spot with his performances.
Cape League Notebook
Weekly Awards - The first CCBL Coca-Cola Batter of the Week - as awarded by Sportsticker/Howe Sports Data for games through June 16 -- was second-year rightfielder Brian Stavisky (Port Allegany, PA/Notre Dame). In five games for the Hyannis Mets, Stavisky hit .647 (11-for-17) with a double, triple, home run and six RBI. He also stole a base. He currently leads the league in hitting at .464.
Cotuit righthander Scott Wade (Kentucky) loosens up before taking on the Y-D Red Sox at Lowell Park.
Week One Coca Cola Pitcher of the Week was Falmouth's Steven White (League City, TX/Baylor) who was near perfect in six innings of work. He allowed just one hit, one run (unearned), walked one and struck out 13 in a 2-1 victory over defending CCBL Champions Brewster. White was credited with the complete game win in the fog-shortened game.
The pitcher and player of the week will be interviewed live each week on WXTK radio every Friday from 9:35-10 a.m. League sponsor, Fleet Bank, sponsors the show.
More notes on Stavisky -- Returning for the Hyannis Mets is Brian Stavisky (Notre Dame), who was recently named an academic All American. A sophomore, who was the West Division MVP in the 2000 Spring PCS All-Star Game, Stavisky led Notre Dame this spring to its first ever 48-win season in baseball. Here on the Cape, Stavisky is on his third uniform number with the Mets. Last season he wore #17 before switching to #44 midway through the season. This year, he is wearing #19…for now.
It's going, going gone -- The Mets have set into motion a plan to host the First Annual Hyannis Mets Home Run Derby, a fundraising event tentatively scheduled for August 2 at McKeon field. It will take place prior to the team's last regular season game against Y-D.
Action Jackson -- Bourne Braves third baseman Conor Jackson (UC-Berkeley) fires across the diamond to get the out.
Some major improvements -- The people behind the scenes at Y-D were very busy this winter. Red Wilson Field now sports a new backstop and outfield fence. The Sox also have new uniforms this year.
The Cape Cod Contingency - While it may be increasingly difficult for native Cape Cod players to hit the College Baseball big time, there were four Cape-bred players on rosters through the end of week one, including Orleans Cardinals Brad Scioletti from (West Point/Barnstable High School), Cotuit's Jayme Dorr for the Hyannis Mets (Trinity College), Barnstable's Eric Paone for the Brewster Whitecaps and John Muldoon for the Cotuit Kettleers (Mass. Maritime/Wareham). In addition, Hyannis Port's Jay Carberry (Holy Cross), who pitched three seasons for Barnstable Senior Babe Ruth and is now a junior righthanded hurler/outfielder at Holy Cross, is busy interning for the Hyannis Mets.
Some things to plan ahead for -- CCBL All Star Game - July 21 at Falmouth 6 p.m. July 28 - CCBL All Stars vs. NECBL at Keene, NH. August 2 - Summer Catch benefit screening at the Cape Cod Mall/Hoyts Cinemas. August 24 - nationwide release of Summer Catch
Schedule Change -- Please make a note of the following changes to the schedule: July 22- Chatham will play at Bourne at 4 p.m. August 1 - Bourne will play at Chatham at 6 p.m.
Bourne Braves' Joe Blanton (Kentucky) picked up a shutout victory and was among the league leaders in Ks with 15 by week's end.
A Job Well Done - Marist College righty flamethrower Chuck Bechtel was commended by Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox Head Coach Scott Pickler for his relief performance versus the Hyannis Mets on Opening Day. It was Bechtel's first outing in over a year.
Team USA Wins some, Loses Some - With many Cape League teams anxiously awaiting the news of which players it would snag from CCBL rosters, Team USA announced it is keeping 18 players who had signed letters of commitment to play on Cape in 2001. Among those kept by Team USA was former Falmouth Commodore righty ace Bob Brownlie (Rutgers), who was picked the Top CCBL Pro Prospect in 2000 by Baseball America. Brownlie also opened some Team USA eyes last summer when he staged a brilliant performance against Team USA at Veterans Field in Chatham. In that effort, Brownlie had struck out one of the nation's top Big League prospects - Mark Teixeira (Georgia Tech) - walking off the field with fist-pumping fury.
Special Events - The Orleans Cardinals spent the last days of school visiting Lower Cape elementary school classrooms, while across Cape in Barnstable the Cotuit Kettleers and Hyannis Mets hosted the players of the Barnstable Junior League with a complimentary three-hour clinic at McKeon Field and Lowell Park, respectively.
Got it Covered -- Y-D first baseman John Baker takes it himself in late-week action versus Cotuit. Baker went 4-4 in the game from the plate.
Orleans Milestone - The Cardinals, now in their 38th season, notched the franchise's 800th victory Wednesday night, defeating the Harwich Mariners in an 8-2 tilt at Eldredge Park. Washington University righty Sean White, now 1-1, notched the win for the Redbirds while fellow Huskie Tyler Davidson offered a pair of RBI singles to help seal the deal.
Double Vision - Northeastern University twin brothers Omar and Pedro Pena have been busy making things difficult for opponents of the Wareham Gatemen, if not wreaking havoc with CCBL scorekeepers, statisticians and local sportswriters. The Haverhill, MA family duo is separated, though, by position and weight. Omar, a shortstop, weighs in at about 160 pounds, while his brother, Pedro, an outfielder, is at approximately 190 pounds.
Hockey or baseball? - Former Y-D Red Sox player turned Wareham Gatemen star Joey Monahan cannot only boast a two-time stint in the prestigious CCBL, he can boast he's the grandson of a Hall of Famer - an NHL Hall of Famer, that is. Monahan's grandpa is none other than Montreal Canadien all-time great Boom Boom Geoffrion. Monahan's father, Hartlan Monahan, also played in the NHL for 11 seasons. Monahan's older brother Shane Monahan, formerly of the Seattle Mariners, played for the Y-D Red Sox in 1993.
The Hammer -- Y-D Red Sox DH Paul O'Toole (Notre Dame) has been equally vicious against CCBL opponents thus far this season as he was for the Whitecaps last year.
Like Clockwork -- Y-D slugger Ryan Klocksein (Kansas) was second in the league in batting by week's end at a steady .409 clip.
It's in the Genes - Back in the mid-1960s, Mattapoisett native Don Dorr may have had high school football titles and a full football scholarship to Syracuse University, but the former Old Rochester Regional High School quarterback was also seen playing first base for the Wareham entry in the Cape League. Now, Dorr can be seen sitting in the bleachers watching his son Jayme Dorr (Trinity) playing third base for the Hyannis Mets. The elder Dorr, who played linebacker at Syracuse and was once featured in Sports Illustrated, was head football coach at Barnstable and Plymouth South High Schools before retiring from football coaching in 1997. Jayme Dorr did his father proud, going 2-4 on opening day versus the Y-D Red Sox.
Sweet Redemption - Former two-time Cape Leaguer Kevin Brown (Miami) may have struggled a little bit with the wood while playing for the Hyannis Mets in 1998 (.175) and 1999 (.154), but his home run and five RBI in the final game of the College World Series last week was enough heroics to earn him and his teammates World Series Championship rings. Combined with the pitching of Luke DeBold, who went 3-0 last summer for the Bourne Braves, Miami defeated Stanford 12-1 to win its second CWS title in three seasons.

A recent study examined the long-term effects of pregnancy on blood pressure. Over 2300 women between the ages of 18-30 years-old were tested pre-pregnancy and then periodically between 2-20 years post-pregnancy.
The study found systolic blood pressure to be reduced 2.06 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure 1.50 mm Hg lower after one birth versus women that did not have a child.
Factors such as smoking, medications, birth control, and weight gain were taken into account, but some key factors were not (such as salt intake). So, while the study was not ideal, it does show a promising link between pregnancy and altered endothelial (blood vessel lining) function. I'm sure we'll learn more about the relationship between pregnancy and long-term blood pressure effects as more studies are completed. Until then it's good to know there are some potential benefits to help counteract the negatives – increased waist line and reduced HDL good cholesterol.

This post is part two of a series on my participation in the Arts Entrepreneurship & Business Development Course, specifically the first two days of workshops.

But the second activity was a real eye-opener. "The Marshmallow Challenge is a design exercise that encourages you and your team to let loose your collaboration, innovation, and creativity skills." We were put into random groups, provided a meager handful of supplies that included a marshmallow, uncooked spaghetti, and 18 minutes on a timer. The team with the tallest free-standing structure topped by the marshmallow won glory and bragging rights. No spoilers, although one team's structure was successful, none of the teams started the activity with the end in mind. Which provided the segue into the next activity: goal setting.
We discussed why setting goals is so powerful, goal setting strategies, and SMART goals. We were asked to consider how what we learned about ourselves in the entrepreneurial self-assessment fit into our long-term goals. But I think the most important thing we learned about goals was how to use our long-term goals to walk ourselves backward to set mid and short-term goals and then use those to create a calendar of activities.
Customer Segments: Who are your customers?
Value Propositions: Why do people buy your art?
Channels: How do you communicate with, distribute and sell to your customers?
Customer Relationships: How do you establish and maintain a relationship with your customers? How do you serve them?
Revenue Streams: How do your customers support/pay you?
Key Resources: What physical, financial, intellectual, and human assets are required to create, offer, deliver, and sell your art?
Key Partners: Who else do you need to involve to accomplish all the activities related to your art?
Cost Structure: What do all the activities to your art (production, marketing, sales) cost?
We were encouraged to use sticky notes to quickly map out what we knew, not overthink, simply get down as much information as we could. A classic over-thinker, I'll admit to struggling with this, but I was reminded that we were using sticky notes to make changes easy. It was during this process that I came to the realisation that I continued to include my work in scratchboard not as a sustainable art form – but as a life-preserver – something I could cling to in the hope that it would keep me relevant as an artist. In subsequent drafts of my canvas I decided to remove references to scratchboard. Does this mean I'll never work in scratchboard again? Of course not. But what it does mean is that I can't rely on it as my primary means of expression.
On Day 2 we continued to work on our business models, focusing on our value propositions and customer segments, particularly on the fit between our how what we offer matches our customer's needs. I initially bristled at being asked how my art "fit" my customer's needs but I quickly realised that we were talking about how art meets emotional or social needs (not that I was limited to making work that would match someone's sofa). We were also asked to consider how we meet customer needs before, during, and after the sales process? What could we do to make our work and sales process more exciting, easier to do, or a better experience?
and (b) how to test the assumptions we made in our business model. The "tell our story" activity became our homework assignment and testing our assumptions became an ongoing task we would do as our business models evolved over time.
*Please note: The Arts Entrepreneurship and Business Development Course was offered by two provincial programs that are in a media blackout (ncluding "goodwill marketing") until after the Saskatchewan provincial election (on April 4th), therefore I can't include the names of the organizations or facilitators at this time. However, after the provincial election is over I will edit this and the other AEBDC posts to include this information.

My Arts Entrepreneur & Business Development Certificate!
Today was the last day of the 2015-2016 Arts Entrepreneurship and Business Development Course* in Regina. The course was one of the most informative, insightful, and productive experiences of my life. I expected the course to be full of information about business goals and plans, marketing, financial management, grant writing, legal issues, and resources for entrepreneurs in the arts – and it was – but what I didn't expect was to have the course turn into a process of personal and creative self (re)discovery.

Thanks for stopping by; I look forward to seeing you again soon.
Welcome to my new art website!


Stafford finished with 488 yards passing,Air Max Baratas Espa?a, the most Dallas has ever allowed. That was one week after the Cowboys became the first road team since San Diego in 1984 to hold an opponent averaging at least 27 points a game to a field goal or less in a 17-3 victory against Philadelphia.
That's with half the season left,Cheapest Adidas Shoes Australia, and Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers still to come.
It's hard to figure out what the Cowboys have on defense. They've won games with takeaways and flashes of dominance, but now carry the dubious distinction of being the only unit in NFL history to allow four 400-yard passers in one year.
The Cowboys were leading the Lions even though Matthew Stafford already had become the fourth quarterback on that 400-yard list against Dallas,Bouteille dEau Hydro Flask, which had never allowed more than one in a season, according to STATS. But Stafford led an 80-yard drive in less than a minute with no timeouts, scoring on a 1-yard lunge with 12 seconds left for a 31-30 win.
"It's one thing to have the big receiver making a lot of plays outside but they consistently ran the ball on us,Cheap Authentic Jerseys Free Shipping, which was disappointing," coach Jason Garrett said. "You have to take the real good players out of the game as best you can, and it's hard to do it."
While Church is expected to return, cornerback Morris Claiborne is likely to miss a couple of weeks with a hamstring problem. That could press another rookie,Wholesale Jerseys, B.W. Webb, into extensive action unless Dallas adds a defensive back.
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Monte Kiffin fields questions about the greatness of his Dallas defense one week, and how bad it is the next.
"We've been on a roller coaster,Cheap Nike Air Max Wholesale," said Kiffin, the 73-year-old defensive coordinator who replaced Rob Ryan and brought a scheme that was supposed to be a little more conservative. "Two pretty good games in a row and wanted to really get that third one. We'll come back. We have to do it."
Of course, Adrian Peterson is coming to town. Dallas kept NFL rushing leader LeSean McCoy under control in the win over the Eagles, but couldn't do the same against Reggie Bush even when the defense was aligned to stop the run. The Cowboys gave up a franchise-record 623 yards in total offense to the Lions.

Virginia Names Joanna Hardin Head Softball Coach
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia athletics director Craig Littlepage announced Friday (June 10) that Joanna Hardin, the head coach at McNeese State the past two seasons, has been named the Cavaliers' head coach.
Hardin has spent the last four seasons at McNeese State, the first two as an assistant coach with the Cowgirls. She also has served as an assistant coach at Liberty University from 2007-09, with a stint as the head coach at Jefferson Forest High School in Forest, Va.
"We are excited to welcome Coach Hardin to the University of Virginia," Littlepage said. "It's clear Jo is one of the bright stars in college softball as the success she's experienced at all levels of coaching is fueled with an enthusiastic and positive approach. Her energy is contagious and she's committed to developing student-athletes in all facets of University life."
In her two seasons as head coach at McNeese State, Hardin led the Cowgirls to a 79-34 record including the Southland Conference championship and an NCAA Regional in 2016. Under Hardin's guidance, sophomore Erika Piancastelli received All-America honors from the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) in 2015 and 2016. She is the first All-America selection in McNeese State program history.
"I am incredibly humbled and honored for the opportunity to be part of the University of Virginia and lead the softball program," Hardin said. "I'm excited to be part of a university that holds such high standards of excellence academically, socially, and athletically, and I look forward to being part of the great tradition and culture of such a prestigious university.
"I love softball, and coaching the game is the best job anyone can have in the world. I get to go out every day and get in the dirt and do the thing I love. I look forward to meeting the team and developing relationships with them. I'm excited about the opportunity to coach and compete in the ACC and build the program at Virginia. I'm ready to complete my staff and hit the ground running on this journey with the program."
In 2016, Hardin led the Cowgirls to a 43-14 record as McNeese State claimed the Southland Conference regular-season championship and the Southland Conference Tournament championship. The Cowgirls posted a 23-4 record in conference play and competed in the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional. In regional play, McNeese State opened the tournament with a win over perennial national power Arizona State. The Cowgirls were eliminated from the Regional after falling to host LSU, who would advance to the semifinals of the Women's College World Series as a national seed, and the Sun Devils in a 14-inning game in the second meeting between the teams.
Several players excelled under Hardin's tutelage at McNeese State with Piancastelli leading the way as a two-time Southland Player of the Year and Hitter of the Year selection. Eight players also earned All-Southland Conference honors in 2016.
In 2015, her first season as head coach, Hardin coached Piancastelli to Southland Hitter, Player and Freshman of the Year honors. It was the first time a player had ever won all three honors in the league's history. Hardin also coached Alanna DiVittorio to Southland Player of the Year and Hitter of the Year honors in 2014, while Jamie Allred claimed Southland Pitcher of the Year honors that same season.
During the 2014 campaign, McNeese State broke or tied 23 school or conference records. The Cowgirls ranked in the Top 50 in the nation in ERA, stolen bases and triples per game. Four players ranked in the Top 50 in the nation in 11 different statistical categories. McNeese State's pitching staff included two of the top four pitchers in the SLC to lead the conference in ERA, while ranking 44th nationally.
In 2013, Hardin guided the pitching staff to a Top 10 national ranking and the top spot in the Southland in team ERA with a 1.79 mark. That squad also led the conference in opponent batting average (.220), saves (6), hits allowed (294), runs allowed (122), earned runs allowed (91), walks allowed (53) and extra-base hits allowed (63). Individually, Hardin helped develop the SLC's top pitcher, Megan Bond, who led the conference in ERA (1.27), opponent batting average (.200), and saves (3).
Hardin began her coaching career as the head coach at Whittier Christian High School in La Habra, Calif., from 2005-07 and helped guide the Heralds to an Olympic League championship in 2006.
From 2007-09, Hardin served as assistant coach at Liberty University where she oversaw the pitching staff, conducted camps and clinics, and organized daily practices. In each of her two years at Liberty, the team finished the season as the Big South conference tournament runner-up. Under her guidance, Tiffani Smith was selected to the All-Big South Conference first team as a sophomore, the first Flame to receive such an honor since 2001.
After earning her Master's Degree from Liberty University, Hardin started and coached a successful 12U/14U travel team, the Virginia Titans, in 2009. In 2010, while coaching the Titans, she served as head coach at Jefferson Forest High School where she led the Lady Cavaliers to the 2012 Seminole District Tournament Championship, a Virginia High School League (VHSL) Region III runner-up finish and the quarterfinals of the VHSL playoffs.
Hardin played softball for Biola University (La Mirada, Calif.) where she was a four-year letter winner from 2002-05. She was a four-time All-Conference and All-Region selection and earned NFCA All-America honors as a freshman in 2002.
She is married to Travis Hardin.

Like most people, I love the way Olivia Palermo dresses. She recently did a 30 looks for 30 days story on her site and of course I loved everything she wore. Her combinations are chic yet daring but it's not really for my lifestyle in particular all the time. I did however fall for a shirt that can be dressed up or down and is pretty perfect for fall. Right now I'm thinking of leather jackets, boots, a great pair of skinny jeans, a great flat, a grey sweater and a plaid shirt. Well, Rails has an awesome plaid shirt. I love the draping and the prints. Check it out above on Olivia and here and here. I'm not sure which one I like better.
Smoothies are HUGE in my home. Like I'm talking we drink them almost daily. It's my way of getting lots of goodness into my family. Plus they are easy. The only thing is that I tend to do a lot of the same one over and over again and it can get a little boring. This is my new favourite one. I found it on lunchpailsandlipstick.com which Kate has already blogged about. The only thing I add is spinach because why not?! You can't taste it and it's good for you.
Hoping that you are all enjoying your long weekends!


Firstly, be assured of my prayers and best wishes for you in the year ahead.
It has been a very exciting year for us all at Lift Jesus Higher! We were celebrating our 20th anniversary. Twenty years since we moved to our first base at the church of Notre Dame de Saint Esprit in Vanier!
We marked this anniversary with three major events. Firstly, in June we had a Barbecue and Outreach at St Louis Marie de Montfort, which was slightly overshadowed by some bad weather which meant we had to move the whole event indoors. But we had a great time nonetheless! In July we had an outdoor Mass and Barbecue, hosted by Steve and Cathy Hyde in her parents' cottage on Lac Clair, near Val-des-Monts. This time, the weather behaved itself and we were able to enjoy the chance to venture out on the lake, or simply enjoy fellowshipping together lakeside.
Finally, we marked our anniversary with a Mass and dinner at St Philip's parish in Richmond, where I am the current pastor. The Mass was presided over by Bishop Christian Riesbeck, and the dinner was catered by the Knights of Columbus organization of the parish. About 60 people attended the event, friends past and present came together, and Steve Varga prepared a slide presentation of the many activities Lift Jesus Higher have been involved in over the last 20 years. We also provided a time line of the major events in our history, which we invited people to add to.
This last event was something of a preview of coming attractions, as at the beginning of October, the Oasis prayer group at Lift Jesus Higher moved its location to join with the St Philip's prayer group on Thursday evenings.This proved such a successful transition, that I petitioned Archbishop Prendergast to allow Lift Jesus Higher to move its 12:30pm Sunday Mass to St Philip's also. The archbishop gave his permission, and on Sunday January 7th, 2018, we celebrated our first Sunday Mass in Richmond. The Grand Knight of the St Philip's Council officially welcomed us to St Philip's along with a representative of the Catholic Women's League.
Lift Jesus Higher has always considered itself as something of a "nomadic" community, and over the course of our twenty year history, we have moved a number of times. The Lord wants us to remember that we have always to be dependent on Him, and responsive to His word. Like the Israelites crossing the desert en route from Egypt to the Promised Land, we need to be ready to "fold up our tents" and move on to the next place the Lord is leading us to discover.
In February we held our latest Peru mission. We had to change our usual summer date to allow our Director of Mission, Maria Palomino, to recover from serious health issues. She was able to join the four other members of the mission team, as we took a number of young people from our three mission projects to a Youth Faith Camp not far from Canete, a couple of hours outside Lima. At the end of the camp, we held a day retreat for the children of the three projects. We then travelled to Huanuco, to meet the new bishop there, who welcomed us warmly and assured us of his support to continue our outreach to the poor of his diocese. We were shown around a new hospital that has just been built for the poor in the city of Huanuco, as well as a center for the blind nearby. We were able to make donations to these places, as well as to help provide material support for many disadvantaged people in our three projects. We are trying to provide moral and spiritual support for the young people there, who face many dangers and temptations because of their poverty, temptations to alcoholism, crime, violence, prostitution etc.
We are still working with the pastors and churches of other Christian denominations to build relationships of trust and co-operation under the banner of our "Fire and Fusion" movement. We are currently planning a Revival Night on Friday February 9th at West Ottawa Christian Community in Carp, and a March event with Steven Fatow, a charismatic Messianic Jewish pastor and revivalist.
I say it each year, and I say it again, because it is true. None of this would be possible without the continued support of your prayers and financial contributions. I am deeply thankful for such support and I know that, as you bless us, Our Lord will also be blessing you.
May you experience the favor of the Lord in the year ahead!!
First and foremost, I wish each and every one of you a joyful and blessed New Year. I also want to thank you for the generous support you continue to give to Lift Jesus Higher. That support has enabled us to continue in our mission for twenty years! It seems hardly possible that we have managed to achieve such longevity. Most of it has seemed like a wild whitewater raft ride, and we have wondered at times whether we will still be around much longer. But God has continued to remind me that he is in charge of the ship (or raft!) and as an octogenarian friend of mine keeps saying "The Lord keeps me going!!." The Lord has kept us going and here we are, looking forward to celebrating our twentieth year of existence. We are busy arranging special events to mark this milestone, and will soon publish a list of activities to spread throughout the year. But alongside this, our regular schedule of Sunday and Wednesday Masses, Oasis prayer meetings, and bible studies and War Room meetings continue to punctuate our week.
Next month, we will be embarking on our eleventh straight Peru mission. We usually do these in July, but due to severe illness to our organizer, Maria Palomino, we had to postpone going to Peru last summer. However, praise God, Maria has now fully recovered, and so from February 13th – 25th, a team of seven of us will be once more going out to Peru to bring the love of Jesus , along with suitcases packed with shoes, clothes, toys, toiletries, educational material, etc. to the three projects we have taken responsibility for : a shanty community in the heart of Lima; another one in Huanuco, in the Andes, and one up in the mountains several hours outside Lima, in a place called Huangascar. We are planning on holding children and youth camps for the three communities during our mission trip, plus looking at some land Maria owns, where we have plans to build a mission base for future trips.
Since our inception, Lift Jesus Higher has always seen itself as called by God to build bridges with other Christian churches and communities, and this is now part of our overall mission, vision and values. This led us to host two big conferences in past years, called Fire and Fusion, which has spawned several "revival" meetings in the last year and a half, plus monthly gatherings of pastors and leaders from different churches for fellowship, intercession and praise and worship, intended to build relationships between us. I am pleased to see that Pope Francis has led the way in this, by calling together leaders from various Pentecostal, charismatic and evangelical churches for a series of meetings in the last couple of years, with his vision of helping build a "reconciled diversity." It makes us feel we are "on track" with what God wants to do, to unite the Body of Christ, and we are grateful to be a small part of that.
At the same time, we also are focusing on reaching out to our Catholic community in the diocese of Ottawa. Members of Lift Jesus Higher have been very active in helping me as pastor of St Philips and St Clare's parishes, to facilitate Life in the Spirit seminars, prayer group meetings and bible studies. It is a case of freely giving what we have ourselves freely received.
None of this would be possible without your continued generosity for which, once more, I thank you, and assure you of our continued prayer for you and your family. Here's to the next 20 years!!

Duolingo review
Duolingo is the most popular cross-platform service for language learners from all around the world. Over 300 million people use it to start a new language, maintain their level, and expand knowledge. You can download Duolingo: Learn Languages Free for Android and iOS devices on Play Market, App Store, or Amazon AppStore for free.
Duolingo is the biggest online library of language courses. The latest version includes 90 language courses adapted for 22 languages, including European, Asian, African, Middle-Eastern, dead, and fictional tongues like Latin and Klingon. The entire app looks more like a mobile video game than like an app for studying to be more engaging for you in a long-term perspective. Every task you complete brings several lingot-credits to the in-app wallet. You can use these credits to buy cosmetic items for your Duolingo Owl pet or additional levels.
One more feature of mobile games is the public leaderboard. It allows you to compete with friends and the rest of the world to evaluate progress. Specific challenges and objectives will reward you with profile badges that show how experienced you are. You can also take part in weekly XP-races to get into 1 of 10 leagues.
In 2012 Duolingo: Learn Languages Free was scientifically proved to be effective for beginners and those who study language in a classroom. That's why it's a popular app for school and university students. It's generally popular amongst Spanish learners. On the other side, there's not much sense in using it if you're an advanced learner of any language.
Duolingo has an elementary gamified user interface with white background and descriptive icons for objects and topics. Such simplicity makes it approachable for both preschoolers, university students, and adults. The app's mascot, a green owl, will help you understand tasks better and reward you with prizes for good results.
Duolingo: Learn Languages Free is a unique opportunity to try studying a new language absolutely for free. Choose one of 90 courses and start right away. Make sure that you can also visit some more language courses with real teachers to break the language barrier and learn advanced knowledge and details because Duolingo offers mostly superficial language overviews. Duolingo works well on devices running Android 4.1, iOS 9.0, or any later OS versions.

Q: .Net program executed from ASP page I have a program in .net (VB .Net) that calls to Excel and Word. It takes a lot of time to complete all the tasks (it reads many logs, export the data to excel, create graphics and then import the graphics to a word template).
My first solution was to include the program as a .dll in the ASP website, but now I´ve dismissed. The program has a high CPU usage, and it may take hours to do all the tasks. A web page must run processes with low CPU usage and/or swift proccesses.
Now I have 2 options:
A) Execute the program from ASP:
set WshShell = server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wshShell.Run program

B) Convert the program in a windows service, and execute the routine (that read logs, export data to excel, create graphic...) sending a message through MSMQ.
I´ve two questions:
- First: Are these "good" solutions? Is there any other "good" solution?
- Second: I don´t want a graphic interface in the program. And better if word and excel are in background as well. Any idea to accomplish this?
I suppose the only solution is option B), with the program as a windows service. Excel, word... will be in another "session", and it will not show anything (I´ve read antoher stackoverflow about this and the problem and solution to get excel and word work)

A: B is the better option, but I don't have any experience with MSMQ. You may want to use WCF+MSMQ since if it turns out MSMQ was the wrong option, it is possible to try some other protocol with less re-write.
As for option A, neither ASP classic or ASP.NET is optimized for dealing with long running processes. Browsers close mid request, IIS can seize up, it's harder to throttle work loads, etc, etc. Also, if you have one ASP page, this implies you have others and including long running tasks in your website mean you run the risk of users not being able to access other unrelated pages while all the webservers threads are taken up dealing with the long running processes.
