Dangerous heatwaves could be yearly events without 'stringent emissions reduction', says new US research
Potentially dangerous heatwaves that normally strike once every two decades could become yearly events across 60 per cent of Earth's land surface by 2075 without the "stringent emissions-reduction measures" which could reduce them significantly.
But even with such mitigation, nearly 20 per cent of land areas would still suffer intense heatwaves – defined as three exceptionally hot days in a row – yearly on average.
These are conclusions of new research, funded by the US Department of Energy and published last week, by Claudia Tebaldi of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Michael Wehner of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Their study, published in the latest issue of the journal Climatic Change, assesses the benefits for society of avoiding heatwaves if action is taken now to mitigate climate change.
It shows that "aggressive cuts in greenhouse gas emissions will translate into sizable benefits, starting in the middle of the century, for both the number and intensity of extreme heat events," Tebaldi said in an NCAR news release.
"Even though heatwaves are on the rise, we still have time to avoid a large portion of the impacts."
'Life and death'
Tebaldi and Wehner looked at how frequently today's 20-year heatwave may occur in the future, and how intense future 20-year heatwaves would be, finding that they would be much more extreme than those with the same probability today.
A few degrees "can mean the difference between life and death" for vulnerable people, Wehner said.
A heatwave peak of 45 degrees instead of 42 would have "a dangerous impact on the poor, the old and the very young, who are typically the ones dying in heatwaves," he added.
The research also covered other heatwave peaks when it fails to cool overnight; past research has shown that human health is especially endangered when temperatures do not fall significantly at night.
All showed similar increases in frequency and intensity without significant mitigation.
Climate attribution
Last July's #CFC15 scientific conference at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, held in the run-up to COP 21, listed heatwaves first on a list of weather extremes exacerbated by climate change.
Climate Centre Director Maarten van Aalst told delegates timely communication such as the climate attribution of the 2015 European heatwave meant "we can communicate the science to the general public when it matters".
And as #CFC15 closed, the French Red Cross said 16 departments remained on orange alert for the "unusually protracted" heatwave then affecting much of western Europe.
Tebaldi and Wehner's paper is part of a larger NCAR-based project attempting to quantify how reductions in emissions could affect health, agriculture, hurricanes, sea levels and drought.
French Red Cross volunteers distribute water to homeless people amid last year's "unusually protracted" European heatwave. New US research says that without significant mitigation, current 20-year heatwaves could happen yearly in the future, threatening the young, the poor and the elderly alike.

Renze Fij (Enschede, 26 september 1992) is een Nederlands voetballer die als doelman speelt.

Carrière
Fij kwam, nadat hij bij Vv Victoria'28 gescout werd, in de jeugd van FC Twente terecht. Op 30 november 2009, als Fij nog officieel deel uitmaakt van de A1 van de Voetbalacademie FC Twente, maakt hij zijn debuut voor de Go Ahead Eagles, die sinds dat jaar ook onderdeel uitmaken van de academie. Hij werd officieel sinds 27 november gehuurd van de voetbalacademie. Fij verving Remko Pasveer die geblesseerd uitviel in het duel tegen Helmond Sport. Het duel werd met 3-2 gewonnen. De volgende wedstrijd was Pasveer echter voldoende hersteld van zijn blessure en was ook reserve-doelman Jasper Heusinkveld weer inzetbaar, waardoor Fij terugkeerde naar de voetbalacademie. In de zomer van 2010 maakte hij de overstap naar de A1 van FC Groningen. In 2012 tekende hij een contract bij Heracles Almelo. Voor deze club maakte hij zijn debuut op 4 februari 2017 uit tegen Willem II (1-3). Fij verving Bram Castro na een rode kaart. In het seizoen 2017/2018 zou hij op huurbasis uitkomen voor FC Dordrecht maar keerde in januari weer terug. Eind juli 2018 ging Fij in Noorwegen voor Florø SK in de OBOS ligaen spelen. In maart 2019 ondertekende hij een contract tot juni bij reeksgenoot Nest-Sotra. In 2020 speelt hij voor Sogndal.

Gold Coast Food & Wine Tours – a review
When we travel, food is top of our agenda, and we're not alone in this pursuit. Food and wine top the list of visitor interests on the Gold Coast.
"High quality dining experiences are really putting the Gold Coast on the map as a foodie destination, and food tourism is one of our fastest growing markets," says Karen Inglis-Turner, the owner and consummate tour guide of Gold Coast Food and Wine Tours, which operates tours of a number of geographic areas on the coast.
We embark on 'A Taste of Burleigh' with Gold Coast Food and Wine Tours. Karen greets tour participants, gives introductions, and gives us a potted history of Burleigh Heads, from the first time European explorers saw it from the sea in 1770 until the present day. We'll visit a building built in 1925 and dine in a butcher's cold room, she tells us.
Food. It's the interest that we all have in common. Everyone needs to eat, but it's also a communal activity where people talk and get to know each other. The walking tour is not a progressive dinner; nevertheless, we consume a fair amount of food and wine on our learning journey. It's a great way to get a quick 'catchup' on the food scene from the perspective of a local.
We pass through the Burleigh movie theatre, one of the oldest tourist attractions still in existence. Karen tells us about the building, built in 1925 and what going to the movies was like then. It's an interactive conversation with older members of the tour adding in their memories of the theatre from their childhood. Now an arcade, it houses several eateries.
At our first destination, we meet a chef who trained in Canada, France and London under Gordon Ramsay. Now he's cooking short ribs and softshell crab on brioche for customers in a relaxed lifestyle café. With a glass of wine, we sample from a platter of Asian-influenced food that he has prepared for us.
"We have local artisans serving up incredible fare every day," says Karen. "I look for their specialties – the things that make them really stand out."
Gelati is next at an award-winning gelateria nearby, before we head to one of the most impressive specialty food shops on the coast. Owner Selena tells us how she travels overseas to source products for her store. You won't find anything there that's in local supermarkets – it's all from small Australian producers with a focus on organic, and the best she can source from overseas, including her 'top shelf' specialty: limited edition aged balsamic vinegars.
The shop smells gorgeous due to the huge bunches of flowers at the front of the shop, and Selena's specially made candles which would make the perfect gift.
The next stop, in what was once the coldroom of an old butchery, serves falafel to rival Melbourne's Ackland Street. It also rates at the top of Burleigh's 'Best Cheap Eats'. From breakfasts in a pocket to lemonade with rosewater and mint, this is healthy fast food at an everyday price.
We finish the tour in style with a black coffee martini at a hidden venue. Coffee, liquor and churros – what's not to love! Some of the tour participants even have a go at making the martinis themselves, under instruction of course!
"I like learning the background – knowing where the food comes from," one of the participants, says of the tour.
Of course you eat delicious food on a food tour! With food to eat at every venue, a glass of wine and a mini cocktail, you've easily eaten a meal by the time the tour ends.
"What I love about this tour is that you can check out a whole bunch of places for a really good price and pretty much know they're going to be good before you go there," someone else adds.
Even for those who live on the Gold Coast there's so much to discover in our own backyards. A Taste of Burleigh Heads uncovers hidden dining gems, teaches us about food production, as well as introduces us to new friends. It's not only great fun but also terrific value. A tour would make a perfect present for the foodie in your life, or an excellent hen's or engagement party. Christmas parties, corporate and private tours for 10 – 20 people are available by arrangement. You'll find more information on the Gold Coast Food and Wine Tours website.

Protein arginine methyltransferase 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PRMT8 gene. Arginine methylation is a posttranslational modification involved in a number of cellular processes, including DNA repair, RNA transcription, signal transduction and protein compartmentalization. PRMT8 binds and dimethylates Ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1 (EWS) protein.

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of PRMT8 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Prmt8tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists.

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion. Twenty four tests were carried out on homozygous mutant mice and one significant abnormality was observed: the animals had decreased IgG1 levels.

Voter integrity hawks are hailing an investigation by the Texas secretary of state that uncovered 95,000 noncitizen residents who illegally registered to vote.
It was one of the largest discoveries of non-eligible voters by any one state. Conservative groups say Secretary of State David Whitley's inquiry produced real numbers to support their years of lawsuits and research. They say noncitizen voter fraud is significant, as opposed to the left's contention that it is rare.
"Demonstrating, much less discussing, noncitizen voting activity is the worst form of heresy one can commit for left-wing groups," Logan Churchwell, director of communications and research at the Public Interest Legal Foundation, told The Washington Times.
In Texas, there will be a legal fight. The League of United Latin American Citizens filed a lawsuit on Tuesday challenging the upcoming voter purge.
How did Mr. Whitley obtain the numbers? He compared two main databases — Department of Public Safety driver license records, which include immigration status, and voter rolls. He found about 95,000 noncitizens registered among 16 million voters on Texas rosters, of whom 58,000 actually voted since 1996.
In issuing driver licenses, the Department of Public Safety verifies an applicant is a legal U.S. resident by checking with the Department of Homeland Security. But proof of citizenship isn't needed to register to vote.
Mr. Fitton operates an election integrity project. On Jan. 4, he announced the settlement of a lawsuit with the state of California and Los Angeles County to expunge as many as 1.5 million inactive voters for their rolls. Conservatives believe such bloated lists lead to fraud.
"Los Angeles County has more voter registrations on its voter rolls than it has citizens who are old enough to register," he said.
No state requires proof of citizenship to register to vote. A U.S. District Court judge last year struck down a law championed by former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach to require citizenship documentation. Kansas appealed the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit.
Liberal states are moving in the other direction. Maryland this year became one of 14 states that allow voters to register on Election Day. They need to show only that they live in the state. Like other state's voter registration form, the citizenship question is on the honor system.
Preventing noncitizens from voting illegally is particularly important for Republicans in Texas, which for now is a solid "red" state. Democrats are counting on shifting demographics to turn it "blue," thus greatly lessening a Republican's chances of winning the White House.
The drive to purge non-citizen voters is a Republican show. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott appointed fellow GOPer Whitley as secretary of State. If any one is to be prosecuted it will be done by Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton.
From now on, the secretary of state will on a monthly basis compare newly registered voters to federal immigration records at the Department of Homeland Security.
It says more than 50,000 Texans are naturalized each year and most of them vote in their first election.
Earlier, a coalition of 13 liberal groups, including the ACLU, sent a letter to Mr. Whitley demanding he rescind his advisory to 254 local election boards.
"The methodology your office apparently employed to identify such voters looks deeply flawed and its origins and intent are highly suspect," the letter said.
They said that since drivers' licenses are issued every six years, the person could have become a citizen after their immigration status was submitted to the Department of Public Safety.
Mr. Shipley set out a process whereby the boards will notify each of the 95,000 and ask them to verify they are citizens. So if the person did in fact become a citizen, they will remain as a registered voter.
The non-citizen debate reached the national level in 2014 when Jesse T. Richman, a professor at Old Dominion University, and two colleagues, began publishing estimates of thousands and perhaps millions of illegal voters.
Focusing on the 2008 presidential election, he concluded a wide range, from 38,000 to 2.8 million non-citizens, voted.
Mr. Whitley's report said that of 95,000 non-citizens, 58,000 none citizens have voted in the past 20 years.
Every state is different. In theory, if the 58,000 voted in the 2008 presidential election, for example, that would be 0.73 percent of 8 million cast that year in Texas.
Taken nationwide, 0.73 percent would mean 950,000 voted.
Mr. Richman based his numbers on the comprehensive Cooperative Congressional Election Studies conducted by YouGov polling and a consortium of colleges. It is one of the few polls that attempts to find non-citizen voters.
The consortium's professors dismissed Mr. Richman's work. After whittling down their own polling of aliens, they determined that, statistically, "zero" vote in U.S. elections.
They were responding to President Trump's post-election assertion that millions of non-citizens voted in 2016.
The U.S. Census Bureau says there are about 22 million non-citizens, about half of whom are here illegally.
A 2013 poll called the National Hispanic Poll by Republican pollster John McLaughlin found that 13 percent of non-citizen Hispanic respondents said they were registered to vote.
James Agresti, who directs research at the "Just Facts" non-profit, applied the 13 percent figure to the 2013 Census which said 11.8 million non-citizen Hispanics live here. Mr. Agresti calculated that the range of illegal registered Hispanics could be 800,000 to 2.2 million.
"We know for a fact, you have massive numbers of non-citizens registered to vote in this country," White House adviser Stephen Miller said in 2017.
In a sense, Texas' Mr. Whitley did what Mr. Trump wanted his ill-fated voter fraud commission to do: compare voter registration data with immigration status to come up with a firm national number. But Mr. Trump disbanded his panel in January 2018 after an onslaught of lawsuits.

Victoria University Iftar 2018
Victoria University (VU) in collaboration with the Australian Intercultural Society (AIS) hosted 80 guests at their fourth Ramadan Iftar Dinner at Victoria University's VU at MetroWest community space on 28 May 2018.
The evening's master of ceremonies was Professor Ian Solomonides Vice President of Teaching & Learning at Victoria University. Professor Aladin Zayegh, Associate Professor at Victoria University gave the call to prayer and Mr. Gokhan Ozkan recited several verses from the Quran; and a welcome speech was presented by Vice- Chancellor of Victoria University Professor Peter Dawkins and Ahmet Keskin, Executive Director of Australian Intercultural Society.
Professor Dawkins discussed the newly established cultural strategy at Victoria University, reminding guests of its significance when he stated that 'many of you will be aware that we launched our cultural diversity strategy, which is a commitment to fostering rich deep intercultural connections across all areas of engagement, it commits us to creating experiences that share knowledge, connect stakeholders, promote understanding and celebrate humanity through curriculum and complimentary activities. The cultural diversity strategy formalises the part we have to play in providing a connected and globally relative university experience and a culturally inclusive, dynamic and responsible university community.'
After dinner a panel discussion moderated by Dr Teresa De Fazio, Manager, Cultural Diversity, VU with panellists Nyambol Deng Kuol – PhD Candidate, College of Health & Biomedicine, VU, Dr Mario Peucker – research fellow, Institute of Sustainable Industries & Liveable Cities, VU, Stella Smith – General Manager, Community & Government Relations, Melbourne Victory Football Club and Gary Lee – International Education Project Coordinator, City of Melbourne spoke about social cohesion being a community responsibility for all involved.
In the panel, Dr Mario Peucker spoke about social cohesion among the Muslim community not being explicitly mentioned in the work they do but it is implicitly present in different ways. According to their research, about 85% of Muslim community organisations engage in intercultural & interfaith dialogue initiatives that contribute to different social communities, which is a key component of social cohesion.
Nyambol Deng Kuol had a strong emphasis on minority representation in society, when she noted that minority groups can be looked upon from a single lens and that there can be a correlation made of the actions of an individual being perceived as representing a whole minority group. She gave her own example of the South Sudanese community being affected by a small minority like Apex where the whole community was being stereotyped in the media. She highlighted that 'if you think less of a people that is what they will be'. Nyambol stated that the only way that we can coexist is to 'give us the benefit of the doubt to prove that we belong, give us a sense of belonging so that we call this country home.'
Gary Lee gave some interesting statistics in relation to social cohesion with examples from international students in Australia. As of March 2018, there were 534,000 international students in Australia and 175,000 of those were in Victoria. He noted that for students one of the biggest barriers in being included in society for them is no longer homesickness but employment, where they are not given any opportunity whereby they aren't finding work here because of their visa, their sense of belonging here takes a hit. Gary noted that we have to start changing conversations, the question 'where are you from?' is a reminder that you're not from here, so if we start changing the conversations that will play a role in the way the general public conduct themselves too.
The evening concluded with audience members having the opportunity to share their reflections on the evening's program followed by an exchange of gifts.

I just had time enough to execute the requested command, then the system froze again. I have used the Windows side of the PC to edit this question.
@heynnema: Just to see if it would make a difference: I installed version 18.04 Bionic Beaver, and the problem does not occur up till now. One of these days I will install Kino, this was the only extra program that I had under 20.04. If the problem does not occur in the next few days I will remove the post. Thanks for your attention and help !

A 5mm thin yet effective mineral loaded soundproofing membrane mat designed to block and reduce airbourne noise through stud walls and timber joisted floors.
SoundProofing Mat is a heavy layer mineral loaded soundproofing mat nominally 5mm thick with excellent sound blocking qualities and will give significant sound reduction through lightweight structures when used as a sound barrier.
One layer of Soundproofing Mat has an insulation value of 28dB.
The above value is calculated when the sound proofing mat is hung as a curtain. It does not mean this will increase a structure by the same degree of sound proofing but simply proves that the mats are a highly efficient method of improving the sound insulation of stud walls, floors and ceilings.

Kuwait's emir arrives in the U.S. for medical treatment, in stable condition -KUNA
KUWAIT — Kuwait's 91-year-old ruler Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah arrived in the United States on Thursday to complete his medical treatment, the state news agency reported, adding he was in stable condition.
Sheik Sabah, who has ruled Kuwait since 2006, underwent successful surgery on Sunday, his office said this week, for an unspecified condition.
Kuwait's emir arrives in the U.S. for medical treatment, in stable condition -KUNA Back to video
Kuwait's cabinet tweeted from its official account that Sheikh Sabah had arrived at Rochester airport, in the U.S. There are several cities with that name in the U.S., but the main campus of the Mayo Clinic, one of the country's best hospitals, is located in Rochester, Minnesota.
The emir's designated successor Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmed al-Sabah temporarily took over some of the ruler's constitutional duties on Saturday.
Last year, Sheikh Sabah was admitted to hospital in the United States while on an official visit there after suffering what his office described as a health setback in Kuwait in August. He returned to the Gulf Arab state in October. (Reporting by Ahmed Hagagy, writing by Raya Jalabi, editing by Chris Reese and Chizu Nomiyama)


Well, I have used Felix the Cat and Captain Caveman in my last two posts, so it is time to crack out a superhero, The Fly. In the first four issues of Adventures of the Fly, others took on the character and made him an adult lawyer who fought crime in Capital City. He was later partnered with Fly Girl.
So, as a continuation of my previous posts, Text to Speech in Windows Phone 8 and Voice Commands in Windows Phone 8, I thought I would expand on my previous post and show you how to update your voice commands on the fly. For example, what if we wanted to add to a command by introducing a new word to the phrase that was spoken? Up until now, we could only issue commands that we defined in our voice definition. Well, today, I am going to walk you through how to add this functionality programmatically.

The Australian National Field Days will take place from October 25 to 27 and this year there will be a new competition for tinkers and inventors. The ANFD is running the New Inventors competition, the only rule is the product must not be in production. ANFD manager Jayne West said when times get tough, such as during a drought, farmers become inventive and the competition gives people an opportunity to showcase their abilities. "This is a chance for them to display their wares and hopefully for other farmers to see and often give comment on ways to improve or change," Mrs West said. "It may lead to the invention getting patented and then into production." This is the first year the ANFD has decided to run this on its own, it is a new competition but there was a similar competition, which ended three years ago. The winner of the competition will receive a trophy, a $100 prize and media coverage. "The ANFD will also give a free site and two tickets to all the inventors chosen to display their item over the three days at the field days," Mrs West said. "We have put aside a grassed area and pavilion for all the inventors. "They will be judged on Thursday, October 25 by two of the ANFD committee members and announced at 5pm." Anyone interested in entering the competition or knows someone who should enter can contact the ANFD on 6362 1588 or email info@anfd.com.au.

On Sunday, April 26, 2015, over 200 people gathered at Hastings Park for the unveiling of four signs commemorating the over 8,000 Japanese Canadians detained there throughout 1942 before being sent to internment sites in the BC interior or to work camps across the country. Developed over several years by a coalition of Japanese Canadian community groups and individuals, the panels document the Livestock Building, Rollerland, The Forum and the Garden Auditorium. Following a tour of the signs, led by former Nikkei National Museum Curator Beth Carter, a reception was held at the Hastings Room. A website, hastingspark1942.ca is being developed and will be launched shortly.

Friday May 24, 2013 is a very special day for those of the Buddhist faith. Whether you are a Buddhist, or like me and just identify and believe in the loving compassion teachings of the Buddha, this is a day to acknowledge and celebrate. Buddha Day, also known as Vesak, Vesakha or Wesak, is a celebration that encompasses the birth of the Buddha, his enlightenment Nirvana and his passing away, all on the same day. This day falls on the full moon of the 5th month of the lunar calendar, varying dates each year. This year it falls on May 24th. Most Buddhist celebrations occur during the full moon. This day is one of the most important observances and celebrations for Buddhists across the world. Vesak offers Buddhists an opportunity to reflect on the life and teachings of the Buddha and also highlights the potential for inner peace and happiness that lies within us all as well as a day for Buddhists to reaffirm their commitment to living a moral and compassionate lifestyle. As Eric reminds me, it is not how he died but it is a day to reflect on how he lived and the magnitude of his teachings, and that is the reason we celebrate.
I have always admired and appreciated the teachings of Buddhism. However, it wasn't until I met Eric that I personally started to participate in any rituals or celebrations. Prior to knowing him, I would only partake in my only my solitary teachings/readings and meditations and a occasional visit to Kalpa Bhadra Kadampa Buddhist Center in Wichita, KS where I first met my Buddhist Nun Kelsang Namdrol. Imagine my delight when I met Eric and found out he is Buddhist. I was able to introduce him to the Buddhist center I loved so much and it turned into an experience we could share together, rather than something I did in solitary on my own. Eric and I begun to discuss some of our Buddhist ideals and rituals and he taught me about the different days of celebrations as well as sharing his own personal rituals and ways to celebrate and give respect to the teachings with me. He is the one who taught me about Buddha Day and all other Buddhist holidays and from there i researched to find out more.
For Eric, he will acknowledge and pay respect to this tradition and lifestyle by refraining from eating meat for the whole month of the holiday, taking it a step further than just abstaining for the day before, the day of and the day after. On Buddha Day, we will have a special meditation in front of our shrine and read some of Buddha's teachings together from our book. However, with our hectic schedules we will not actually have our traditional ritualistic celebration until Sunday. This is carried over from Eric's rituals prior to knowing me. I am honored to have him share these rituals with me and let me be a part of it so we can celebrate together. We will have our Buddha Day feast consisting of Sushi (vegetarian sushi for me) and miso soup and green tea. Then we will have our ceremony of reading from our Buddhism books together and meditating in front of our shrine. I am so thankful, grateful and appreciative that Eric has shared his religion, tradition and rituals with me and we have incorporated this as part of our lifestyle together.

Our family members know our virtues and our faults
An old saying has it that "familiarity breeds contempt," and several passages in Scripture seem to bear this out. For instance, in Matthew 13:57 Jesus says, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house." The next verse spells out a significant consequence of such contempt-laden familiarity: "And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith." So, what has this to do with the Year of Family and Faith?

Raina and Amara are sisters. They go on a road trip with their mom and younger brother, Will, from California to Colorado for a family reunion. There are flashbacks throughout the story of their relationship. When Raina was little she asked for a sister and then she got one. But she wasn't the best friend she thought she would get. Amara cried and whined a lot, and she didn't want to do the same things Raina liked. They also had to share a room. They had different opinions on pets, with Amara wanting a snake and Raina being terrified of them. When Raina gets her own room, Amara is finally given a snake for a pet. But it needs to be fed live mice which their mother doesn't want to do. They take it back to the pet store but it slithers out of the bag and into the car, disappearing for a long time. In the end, Raina and Amara have to learn that though they don't get along all the time, they have a special sister relationship.
This is a really funny graphic novel. It's the follow up to the book Smile, which is about Raina getting braces. This story also deals with think that kids experience, such as wanting a sibling and going on family road trips. Neither of these things turn out as planned either, since Raina and Amara don't get along, and they don't have a good time on the trip.
Though I don't have any sisters, I really enjoyed this book. It's very funny, and has Raina Telgemeier's familiar style. I hope she makes other follow up stories.


Kentucky Clutch 17u has a formidable roster and hope to have several of their members pick up offers this summer. One player has already made her college choice. Here's a breakdown of the roster and schedule for the Clutch team, coached by Tom Foust. The team is made up of some of the best players in Regions 1-3.
Makenzie Turley, Murray (2021) – Playing up a grade level with Clutch, Turley averaged 7 points and 3 rebounds per game with the Lady Tigers this season.
Angela Gierhart, Murray (2021) – Makenzie's high school and AAU teammate, Gierhart put up averages of 8 points and 4 rebounds per contest in the high school season.
Marissa Austin, Webster County – Austin can really fill it up. She averaged 15 points per game for the Lady Trojans this year.
Destin Armour, Muhlenberg County – Another prolific scorer on this team, Destin averaged 15 points and 6 rebounds in her Junior season.
Grace Hauslein, Muhlenberg County – After putting up 11 points and 3 rebounds per game in the high school season, Hauslein looks to have a breakout summer for Clutch.
Spencer Harvey, Owensboro Catholic – More of a role player for the Lady Aces, Harvey averaged 5 points per game for the 3rd region champs.
Caroline Reid, Owensboro Catholic – Another member of the 3rd region champion Lady Aces, Reid scored 3 points per game this season.
Hannah McKay, Owensboro Catholic – Recently committed to Murray State for college, Hannah had a huge Junior year with 14 points and 7 rebounds per game.
Ally Maggard, Owensboro Catholic (2021) – Another Sophomore playing up a level, Maggard will look for a bigger offensive output than what she had in high school with just under 2 points per game.
Camryn LaGrange, Madisonville-North Hopkins (2022) – Playing up two grade levels as a 15 year old, LaGrange had a huge freshman season, averaging 17 points and 7 rebounds per game.
Emilee Hope, Henderson County – Hope is a big time shooter, scoring 17 points per game while making 43% of her threes on the season.
Charlee Settle, Calloway County – Probably the best prospect on the team, Settle could land a whole lot of college offers this summer after averaging 23 points and 11 rebounds per game as a Junior for the Lady Lakers.


GFA-supported workers provided food and water to those affected by the floods in Kerala, India.
The 2018 flooding in Kerala brought sadness and destruction, yet in the wake of this disaster, many bonded together to help those in need. In these trying times the people of Kerala showed great resilience in the face of devastation. Funds from all over the world poured in, and many brothers and sisters in Christ walked the many refugee camps. Bringing food, water, hygiene items and medical supplies, these faithful workers shared help and healing with those affected by the floodwaters.
Among those who took refuge in the camps were Sailesh and his family, who attend a church led by a GFA-supported pastor. When the rains came, Sailesh and his family were warned by their neighbor, whose house was already flooded. There was no time to quickly evacuate to higher ground.
Fortunately, Sailesh was able to contact a friend who was outside the flood zone. Sometime later, an army rescue team came to pick up the stranded family and take them to a nearby stadium, which was functioning as a relief camp for 300 people. They remained there for five days.
It was at this camp that Dr. K. P. Yohannan, founder of GFA, and a GFA-supported relief team handed out clothing, hygiene items and medical supplies.
GFA founder, K.P. Yohannan, participated in a relief distribution event organized by GFA-supported workers.
Frontline relief work wasn't the only thing believers did to help the flood victims. Believers across Asia joined together by participating in fundraisers and prayer meetings on behalf of those in need. One young boy saw fit to go further. Yuvaraj's ninth birthday was on August 30, and his birthday party would have taken place a few days after the flood.
Hearing the plight of these people, the young boy decided not to have a party. Instead, the money he would have spent for his celebration went to those in need.
Like Yuvaraj, many people have risen up and answered the call for help, both in Asia and around the world. Because of donations like yours, those affected by the 2018 floods in Kerala have experienced God's love. Thank you!

I've been working on this for a while it started off being a cheap swap i got a cavalier transmission from a junkyard and bought a Bonneville from a coworker and took all the parts I needed, Sold some parts off the car and scrapped it for a grand total off $100 invested. But then zzp had a black Friday sale and I decided to go a little off the deep end with tubular manifolds, hv3 insert and adapter for series 3 aluminum intake to series 2 tb.

Dam if that is all you need to finish is a welder I might be able to load mine in the back of the Saab and head out that way some weekend.
Needs more turbo LY7 with rwd.
Yah both of my big ones are 220. I do have a little portable wire feed that runs on 12v, at least that is what I was told. It is a has shielded wire feed. I never really needed to use it so it has just been sitting. It did have an almost full spool of aluminum wire in it when I last looked at it. Lol I don't even remember what brand it was.
I wouldn't plan on doing any aluminum with a 110v MIG.
My buddy has the cheapest 110v MIG from Harbor Freight. Its in my garage and I've used it heavily on the rallyx car. Its ok for small stuff, but not pretty. But for $90 I won't complain. There are mods to improve it.
I could do the aluminum welding at my uncle's place since he has 220 it's all non crucial stuff anyway but I'm curious what's wrong with 110 for aluminum? And what about stainless?
Nothing is wrong with it, if it works. 110v usually doesn't have enough power to do aluminum though.
In my experience, if you are using a MIG on aluminum, you aren't doing thin material, and thus you will require some pretty serious power.
110 is fine for stainless. Just make sure you are using the right wire.
You will get splatter on the stainless, but it will work. I used he regualr L56 wire on my stainless pipes for my turbo manifold. It worked well but doesn't looks as nice as a tig with a back purge.
You can upload pictures to the sixthpshere file storage, they will not disappear.

One lane of Indiana 933 to close for a month as work begins on South Bend trail
SOUTH BEND — The southbound right lane of Indiana 933 between Angela Boulevard and the Indiana Toll Road will close starting Tuesday as work begins on building a paved multi-use trail that will follow the west side of the highway.
The Indiana Department of Transportation said the lane closure will last about a month.
The trail itself may take about three months to finish, with some landscaping that could be completed this winter, said Paul Phair, vice president of development for Holladay Properties.
The trail will run between Angela and Douglas Road, linking the East Bank Trail and the LaSalle Trail, which are all part of the trail system from Mishawaka to Niles.
Holladay is a member of the 933 Corridor Improvement Association, the group that will build the publicly accessible trail, which also includes the University of Notre Dame, Saint Mary's College, Holy Cross College and the religious congregations of the Holy Cross priests, sisters and brothers.
