A Simply Amazing Humanitarian Project
As of May 2019, over 11,000 cleft lip and cleft palate operations have been completed in Bangladesh though the fundraising efforts of our Club and the generous donors and volunteers who support this project. Typically, about 1,000 operations are performed each year, depending on the prevailing circumstances in Bangladesh - it is a very poor country that suffers from both weather extremes and political unrest.
Join Rotary at work in Jessore in Bangladesh
Each operation costs around $300 and transforms the life of the child and their family. There is no other way that $300 can have such an impact. You can change a child's life now.

Annual Reports - Operation Cleft
What is a Cleft Lip or Palate?
Children all over the world can be born with clefts - on average one in 700-800 births results in a cleft. A child can have a cleft lip or there can also be a cleft in the palate, inside the mouth. In wealthy countries they are repaired shortly after birth, but where people are very poor, such as in Bangladesh, the cleft is not repaired and the child grows to adulthood with their cleft.
Children with clefts are often sickly, have trouble feeding and are often shunned or abandoned by their families because their facial deformity is believed to be a result of a sin from a past life. While some clefts are complex to repair many are straightforward and the repair transforms not only the child but the immediate family as well.
The project was started by Rotarian Colin Macfarlane AM at our Club in 2005, and is now operated as an independent foundation with its own board of management. It is widely supported by individuals and Rotary clubs around Australia and overseas.
How Does the Project Operate?
A government approved NGO in Bangladesh organises the surgeons and the hospitals that do the operations and the costs are paid by Operation Cleft Foundation. Bangladesh has many skilled surgeons - the problem is simply that the people are too poor to pay for the operations. An added benefit is that the project also helps to build the capacity of the medical system in Bangladesh.

Exploring the History of Fulton County one post at a time.
Canfield Log Cabin
Reighard Blacksmith Shop
The History Manor
Wauseon Depot
We are excited to introduce our new project, this blog. As part of our mission to increase access to the history of the county we will be using this platform to dive deep into the people and stories of Fulton County's past. Please join us on this exciting journey.
Founded in 1883 by Colonel Dresden Howard, the Fulton County History Society has been preserving the history of the county since that time. In 2018 the Society opened the new Museum of Fulton County. The 4,000 square foot museum traces the history of the county through thousands of years from the mound building native cultures to the creation of the Interstate Highway System. You will see artifacts related to Native Americans, Barney Oldfield, and NASA. In addition, the Museum features 3 special exhibits a year. Visit us and see what Fulton County was like in the Past.
Our Historic Properties
Before opening the new museum, the Society operated a smaller museum on Monroe Street. That building is now operated as the History Manor and hosts our popular HistorTEA programs. Built in 1868 as Wauseon's first High School it was later later purchased by the Fulton County Medical Association and became Fulton County's first Hospital. In the 1940's it was converted into four apartments. The Society took ownership in 1969. The History Manor is now a house museum which interprets the history of building with restored rooms telling the stories of the men and women who learned, healed, and lived there.
The History Manor located at 229 Monroe Street in Wauseon
The Wauseon Depot
Built in 1896, this New York Central Railroad Depot is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Similar in construction to other depots located in Northwest Ohio it is owned by the City of Wauseon and managed by the Society. Restored in 1975, it houses hundreds of artifacts related to the history of railroads. A restored Baltimore & Ohio caboose sits next to the depot. The Depot is home to the Museum's Hobo festival in the fall as well as hosting Santa Claus during the Christmas Season.
The Wauseon Depot located on Depot Street in Wauseon
The Canfield Cabin
Herman Canfield moved from New York to Chestfield Township and built the cabin in 1838. The Canfield family lived in the log cabin for twenty two years, moving out in 1860. A series of owners lived in the cabin until it's last resident purchased it on March 10, 1953. Mr. Emmett Lasalle moved out of the cabin in November of 1976. The cabin lay vacant until 1981 when it was acquired by Fulton County Historical Society who dismantled and moved it to the fairgrounds. In the fall of 2019 cedar siding was added to the exterior of the cabin in an effort to preserve the original structure from the elements. The cabin is open for tours during the Fulton County Fair as well as other activities and special events.

The Reighard Blacksmith Shop
Built in 1861 by Henry Harrison Reighard and located on the corner of Main and Lincoln Streets, it was the last operating blacksmith shop in Delta. Remaining in the Reighard family, it was donated to the Fulton County Historical Society in 1972 and was moved to the Fulton County Fairgrounds. Housing antique tools and other artifacts it remains a working forge housing blacksmith demonstrations during the Fulton County Fair and Ag. Day which brings every 3rd grader in the county through to experience manufacturing's past.

Truck America Training sits on a 20-acre tract of land running roughly parallel to Interstate 65 on the east. On the west side lies a Shepherdsville, Kentucky, neighborhood, and the locals have apparently become used to the sight of big rigs rumbling to and fro carrying students and instructors out to highways for training practice.
That means four days of practice on the range and on the road this week, leaving Days 15 and 16 for next week, leading up to CDL exams conducted by Kentucky state troopers on Sept. 14 and Sept. 15. Sometime soon the students will head over to the Kentucky State Fairgrounds to practice on the course on which they will actually be tested.
It's much more a case of Professor McGonigle and Harry Potter than Sgt. Foley and Zack Mayo from "An Officer and a Gentleman." The trainers at Truck America Training in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, are more about praise than putdowns.

TEPCO transfers some fuel from Fukushima plant No. 3 unit pool
KYODO NEWS - Apr 23, 2019 - 22:35 | All, Japan
The operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant said Tuesday it has transferred some nuclear fuel from one of the reactor buildings damaged by hydrogen explosions in the 2011 disaster to another location for safer storage and management.
It was the first removal of such fuel from storage pools of the Nos. 1 to 3 units, which suffered meltdowns after losing power in the crisis triggered by a massive earthquake and tsunami.
Seven unspent fuel rod assemblies were transferred Tuesday to a common pool about 100 meters away, according to Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.
The transfer of nuclear fuel, which emits high levels of radiation, from the No. 3 unit pool is expected to lower the risk of the decommissioning work. The utility began the process of removing fuel there on April 15.
At around 11:15 a.m. Tuesday, a trailer began relocating the fuel assemblies, placed in a cylinder-shaped cask, to the common pool. The task was completed in about 20 minutes, carried out by about a dozen workers donning protective gear.
Since the common pool undergoes regular checkups required by law, the fuel transfer will be suspended possibly until July, the operator said.
TEPCO aims to transfer all of the remaining 559 spent and unspent fuel assemblies in the No. 3 unit storage pool to the common pool by March 2021.
The fuel removal at the No. 3 unit was originally scheduled to start in late 2014, but was pushed back multiple times as high levels of radiation, among other factors, caused delays in preparation of fuel transfer.
In fiscal 2023, the utility aims to start the task of removing fuel at the storage pools of the Nos. 1-2 units and has been assessing their surroundings.
Even if the fuel removal work progresses smoothly, TEPCO still faces the biggest challenge involved in the decommissioning of the crippled plant -- retrieval of melted fuel that has dripped down in the containment vessels -- at the Nos. 1-3 units.

Whatever posterity's final judgement on the European avant-garde of the 1950s, at least a dozen works will stand the test of time. Pierre Boulez's major works of the post-war period, such as Le Marteau sans Matre and Pli Selon Pli, will endure, together with early scores by Nono, Berio and Barraque. Then there is Karlheinz Stockhausen, whose major orchestral work of the period, Gruppen for three orchestras, first performed in 1958, is one of the most remarkable and thrilling achievements of the whole total-serial aesthetic.
Though the sheer impact of the music, its kaleidoscopic range of colour, and the way in which Stockhausen virtuosically moves ideas between the three spatially separated orchestral groups are overwhelming in performance, the work was a logical development of all the techniques he had been elaborating in his previous ensemble pieces. His recognition that pitch and duration could considered as part of the same acoustic phenomenon led him to experiment with simultaneous layers of tempi, for which three separate ensembles, each with its own conductor, were required. Yet that was only the theoretical starting point, for Gruppen also became an exploration of mass - of music that turns and twists in space, that superimposes massive accelerations, decelerations and dynamic contrasts, that delights in all the possibilities of three independent groups playing together.
Because of the forces involved, and the necessity for an auditorium that can house the three orchestras in the correct stereophonic arrangement, Gruppen will always remain a piece for special occasions, and on disc too it remains woefully under-represented. It is a great shame that the performance conducted by Simon Rattle, John Carewe and Daniel Harding as part of the CBSO's Towards the Millennium series never found its way on to disc, while the pioneering version that appeared in the 1960s, conducted by Stockhausen, Boulez and Bruno Maderna, is now only available, like so many of Deutsche Grammophon's early Stockhausen recordings, on the composer's own label, Stockhausen Verlag, which is hard to locate in Britain.
Currently there is just one practical possibility for anyone wanting to get acquainted with one of the most remarkable of all 20th-century orchestral works: a live performance (coupled with works by Kurtag) from the Berlin Philharmonie in 1994. The Berlin Philharmonic here is conducted by Claudio Abbado, Friedrich Goldman and Marcus Creed. Not every detail is as clear as it might be, but the epic sweep and white-hot invention of the music are unmistakably conveyed.

Las elecciones generales de Venezuela de 1978 fueron celebradas el domingo 3 de diciembre de 1978, con el fin de elegir al presidente de la república, realizándose en conjunto con las elecciones parlamentarias. El triunfador fue Luis Herrera Campíns, del partido socialcristiano COPEI, quien sucedió en la presidencia a Carlos Andrés Pérez, de Acción Democrática.

Herrera tomó posesión del cargo el 12 de marzo de 1979, siendo la tercera vez consecutiva que un presidente entregaba el mando a un adversario político. Ya para entonces, el sistema democrático en Venezuela estaba plenamente consolidado, acusando el fuerte bipartidismo que caracterizó a las elecciones presidenciales entre 1973 y 1993.

Antecedentes

Para las elecciones presidenciales de 1978, era evidente la necesidad de una maquinaria política efectiva a nivel nacional para poder obtener el triunfo. La polarización política en Venezuela alcanzaba sus niveles máximos y la democracia en Venezuela, devenida en un sistema bipartidista, ya estaba consolidada en el país. Socialdemócratas y socialcristianos ocupaban casi totalmente el espectro político venezolano, relegando a las otras agrupaciones políticas a repartirse una cuota electoral que apenas llegó al 10%. La izquierda radical fracasó nuevamente en encontrar una candidatura de consenso, por lo que nuevamente acudió fraccionada y atomizada, con 4 candidatos.

La pugna entre dos bandos internos en Acción Democrática por la designación del candidato presidencial hizo que este partido llegara prácticamente dividido a las elecciones presidenciales, hecho que determinó su derrota electoral. La consecuencia de esta derrota fue un debilitamiento de la unidad interna de AD y la creación de grupos antagónicos internos que nunca más llegaron a superar sus diferencias.

Durante la campaña electoral, se utilizaron masivamente los servicios de asesoría de consultores políticos estadounidenses, lo cual produjo una masificación de la imagen de los candidatos así como también un empobrecimiento del mensaje electoral. Ambas características han condicionado fuertemente desde entonces las campañas electorales en Venezuela.

Candidatos
Luis Herrera Campíns, abogado de profesión que contaba con el apoyo irrestricto del partido COPEI y su líder fundador Rafael Caldera, unidad que a la postre se convertiría en clave para el triunfo. Utilizó como eslogan una interrogante, «¿Y dónde están los reales?», para en la parte final de la campaña presentarse como la opción segura con «Luis Herrera arregla esto».
Luis Piñerúa Ordaz, candidato de Acción Democrática impuesto por el líder Rómulo Betancourt, pese a la resistencia de muchos de los líderes de ese partido y a la reticencia del presidente Carlos Andrés Pérez y al sector del partido ligado a él, que preferían a Jaime Lusinchi. Su eslogan fue «Correcto».
José Vicente Rangel, postulado por segunda vez por el MAS, representante de un sector de la izquierda.
Diego Arria, candidato independiente apoyado por Causa Común que en 1973 había formado parte del equipo de campaña de Carlos Andrés Pérez, ocupando incluso cargos públicos durante su gobierno, como los de Gobernador del Distrito Federal y Ministro de Información y Turismo. Fue el primero en traer asesores políticos norteamericanos a Venezuela y la cuantiosa inversión económica realizada en la campaña electoral le valió un sorprendente cuarto lugar en las votaciones.
Luis Beltrán Prieto Figueroa, cuya candidatura pretendía revivir políticamente a su partido MEP, de centro izquierda.
Américo Martín, otro representante de izquierda, postulado por el MIR.
Héctor Mujica, candidato del Partido Comunista de Venezuela.
Renny Ottolina, carismático animador de televisión que fundó ad hoc el Movimiento de Integridad Nacional (MIN) como plataforma política; muere en un accidente aéreo durante la campaña presidencial, suscitando todo tipo de conjeturas. Se especula aún sobre su posible figuración de haber llegado al final de la campaña, pero hay consenso de que se hubiese convertido en un serio contrincante, capaz de romper con la hegemonía bipartidista de AD y COPEI. Tras la muerte de Ottolina, los otros partidos políticos que lo apoyaban -URD, Fuerza Democrática Popular (FDP) y OPINA- deciden apoyar la candidatura de Luis Herrera Campins, mientras que su propio partido, el MIN, decide no apoyar a ningún candidato.

Keep the contents of your drawers from sliding around with this clever drawer divider system. The drawer divider system was designed to work with old or new chests and makes dividing up drawers of all different sizes a snap. The kit comes with grooved strips and smooth strips. Simply cut the grooved strip to the desired length for your drawer, and then cut the smooth strips to divide up your drawer as you see fit. The grooved strips are made with grooves 1 inch apart for maximum control of the size areas you need.
The dividers are available in 2 lengths, 21 inch strips for chests and bases that are 21 inches or narrower, and in 27 inch strips for chests and bases that are wider than 21 inches.
The Drawer Divider System has enough parts to divide 4 full-width drawer, or 8 half-width drawers.

The Dodo Dragon: title story excerpt
I am the last and I am lonely.
Last night I saw three of the large moons hanging together, with the sea sparkling and dancing below.
It gave me no pleasure. There was no-one to share it.
For a full year before my first mating, the males gave me no peace. I miss them now. They thronged the air round me, begging me to fly with them, until the air shimmered.
They were all surprised when I chose Uao for my mate. True, he was rather small, even for a male. He wasn't properly transparent either; he looked more like smoke than water, so that he cast a faint shadow and his lunch sometimes saw him coming.
"It's not really a problem," he said. "I hunt with the sun in my eyes, so my shadow's behind me. I have to squint a bit, that's all."
Uao's slight smokiness dimmed the brilliant tracery of his veins, but it set off the pale rainbow sheen on his skin to perfection. To me he was even more beautiful than a perfectly transparent dragon.
Besides, he made me laugh. Often I came back to my perch to find that he had left me some fish, and arranged them into the shape of one giant fish, or a dragon, or a heart. He did that sort of thing all year round, not just a few days before mating. And he looked into my eyes not under my tail all the time.
Oh there was no-one like Uao! I knew he'd make a wonderful father too. I could hardly wait for spring and the mating flight.
One winter's night, a ball of fire streaked across the sky. It caused a great deal of comment. Some said that it was a very large shooting star, others that one of the mountains must be spitting fire again. I wanted to see for myself, so a group of us set off in great excitement. We visited twenty or so islands, but four days later we returned disappointed. Every island was boringly normal.
One of the elders called a meeting, and said he'd seen one of these fireballs before. It was only a shooting star, and it happened perhaps once in a dragon's lifetime, if the dragon was lucky. He had seen one himself, many years ago. Nothing for us youngsters to worry about.
"Pompous old ass!" said Uao that night. We were lying side by side as usual, with our tails entwined, and Uao's wing over my back. It was too small to keep out the cold, but it gave me a cosy feeling anyway.
"Who?" I asked.
"Eo the Elder," said Uao. "He doesn't know any more about that fireball than we do."
"But he said he'd seen one," I objected sleepily.
"Only after we went and found there were no fire mountains. If he'd really seen one before, you'd think he'd remember straight away. It was pretty memorable."
"True." Uao had a way of being right.
"One thing," Uao continued. "If we ever do find out what it was, I'm sure there'll be plenty of dragons pretending that they knew all along, or at least that they had a feeling about it."
He was right about that too. Eventually almost everyone claimed to have known that it was an omen. They just didn't feel the need to mention it for the first three years, that's all.
Perhaps forty nights later we saw another twelve fireballs, all in V formation like migrating dragons.
"Once in a lifetime?" murmured Uao. "My, my. Aren't we doing well."
There were no more fireballs, or at least we saw no more, and the memory began to fade.
We never did find out whether the fire balls had anything to do with the disaster.

Q: Does the current passing through a pass-through Powerline adapter affects its speed? At my livingroom I have a powerline adapter that connects to the only power socket near my modem, which of course needs an extension so I can connect more appliances to it. I have indeed connected most of my entertainment devices including my TV to that extension and the powerline is connected to the most direct route to the power socket.
To get better performance I am thinking on getting a Pass-Through adapter to replace the existing one:

My question is: Since I have so many devices connected to the same power socked drawing quite a lot of current, will this affect the performance of the powerline adapter? Will it be the same as using the extension that I already have in place?
Cheers!

Chef Q + A with James Beard Winner Daniel Humm
Daniel Humm, Executive Chef of Eleven Madison Park, NY.
By the time Daniel Humm was a teenager, he had quit school to take on a three-year culinary program and was racing mountain bikes professionally on the Junior Swiss National Team in his native Switzerland. At the age of 19, he gave up competitive cycling to become a full-time chef, and by 24, he had earned his first Michelin Star.
Written by Kelsey Knoedler
In 2003, he moved to California with a few hundred dollars and no English, and in 2006 he moved to New York City to become the executive chef at Eleven Madison Park.
Today, Daniel is the chef and co-owner at the Three-Michelin-Starred Eleven Madison Park (ranked the fourth best restaurant by San Pellegrino last year) and the NoMad in New York City, and he still manages to compete in 12 bike races each year. How does he do it? With hard work, determination, and a spirit of collaboration. He is driven, and I am always drawn to such people. Passion can drive amazing results whether you're starting your own bike tour company, cycling professionally, earning a Michelin star. Daniel Humm is certainly proof that doing what you love and loving what you do can bring out the best of the best. He is an inspiration to us all.
Michelin-starred chef and James Beard Foundation Award Winner for Outstanding Chef, Daniel Humm took the time to answer a few questions for us about what inspires him in the kitchen and on his bike adventures and how he lives the Bike / Eat / Drink / Sleep life.

What inspired you to be a chef?
I fell in love with food at a very young age, and I credit my mother with first introducing me to that world. Growing up in Switzerland in a very small town, we cooked most of our meals at home. That meant shopping at local markets, spending hours preparing meals, and of course, the joys of eating those meals as a family. I learned to appreciate the beauty of delicious food and amazing ingredients as a child and ultimately found cooking to be an art—a craft that I could pursue and build into a career.
How did you reach the decision to become a chef instead of a professional cyclist?
Cycling was something that I began pretty early on. It was a real passion of mine, but as I became more and more infatuated with cooking, my career as a cyclist was limited. I started to question what I wanted my future to be. My wavering was greatly impacted by a bad crash that took me out of cycling for six months. That experience opened my eyes; it made me realize that the high risk of injury and hard training schedules may not have been worth it for a long-term career. Not that being a chef is the easiest career path.
Tell me about your cycling background. Why do you love cycling and why is it important to you?
Around the age of 10 I started cycling, influenced by my Dad who was an avid cyclist. At first, I was only competing and training for road races, but over time I became very interested in mountain biking. As a child, it was a great activity for me, and it grew from a hobby to a passion that shaped my youth very much. I was a member of the Junior Swiss National Team, and that enabled me to travel throughout Europe for races, see a lot of the region that I may never have had an opportunity to see, but also learn a lot about discipline, teamwork, and the importance of setting goals. There were plenty of great moments, but I also remember not wanting to live solely on a diet of granola bars and bananas and staying at some less-than-glamorous hotels—something any cyclist could relate to. But cycling for me was, and always will be, a love of mine and a sport that influences who I am personally and professionally.
Will Guidara, General Manager, speaking to guests in the dining room of Eleven Madison Park, NY.
What role do your bike adventures play in your life today? Do you still ride regularly?
I try to ride as often as I can. Cycling offers a moment to get away; it helps keep me in shape and stay disciplined. Cycling also offers me a chance to reset, which is important, because as a chef I travel a good amount and on any given night could visit a few restaurants for multiple dinners. Being able to push myself on a ride helps provide some balance to that lifestyle.
Our motto at DuVine is Bike / Eat / Drink / Sleep. What kind of relationships do you see between cycling, food, wine, and travel?
As I mentioned earlier, my routine may end up being heavily weighted towards the "eat" category, so cycling brings some sense of equilibrium. It's a good relationship to have!
How would you describe your cooking style? What makes your dishes unique?
I believe it is very important that when cooking you must start with the best ingredients. That's the foundation of my cuisine. No amount of technical skill can overcome poor ingredients. But I also have found that there is a beauty in simplicity and that it can often be more difficult to play with two or three elements or ingredients on a plate than it would be if you had a dozen. That restraint, the intentional simplicity, is what excites me and has become a very important part of our food at Eleven Madison Park.

How have your travels influenced your cuisine?
Traveling offers perspective. It offers inspiration. It's incredibly important for me, and I think for any chef. With that said, one of the amazing things about being in New York is the incredible culinary history of this city and the region around us, and the ingredients we have access to are unparalleled. The traveling is all wonderful and exciting, but it's New York that influences my cuisine more than anything.
Is it possible to pick your favorite dish you've ever had while traveling? Or your favorite region/country/city to visit for the best cuisine?
Provence is one of my favorite places in the world for many reasons. It is a remarkable place: the mountains, the homes, the people, and of course the food. They have some amazing cycling, and I love the famous Mont Ventoux which I used to ride as a junior. The food there is simple, honest, and always delicious, especially the lamb, goat cheese, and olive oils. I still visit Provence annually, and now that I'm off of a training schedule, I can indulge in some of the delicious wines of the Rhone and Provence region—I love Chateau Rayas and Domaine Tempier.
We have bike tours in Switzerland, where you're from, and Provence, where I understand you've spent a lot of time. Can you tell me your favorite dish from both places?
Provence inspired one of the more well-known dishes at Eleven Madison Park: our whole roasted duck with lavender and lavender honey. There are beautiful lavender fields in Provence that go on for miles and miles, and the aroma is intoxicating. A dish we used to serve at Eleven Madison Park that reminds me immediately of Switzerland is a cheese-focused dish with Vacherin Mont d'Or, potatoes, and mushrooms. It brings together my memories of Swiss raclette.

Here at DuVine, we strive to combine hard work, determination, and a sense of collaboration to design and run incredible cycling tours in the world's most fascinating places. Daniel is an inspiration to us all, as he truly lives the DuVine lifestyle.

During its 100th year in business, Alberty Drugs is closing next month
posted by Howard B. Owens in Alberty Drug Store, batavia, Business, news, notify.
The failure of insurance companies to fully reimburse pharmacies for the full cost of prescription drugs has cost the City of Batavia its only independently owned pharmacy.
Alberty Drug Store, operating locally since 1922, won't see its 101st year in business, confirmed co-owner Christopher Casey this morning.
Starting this week, it's only open to fill prescriptions. All other retail items have been removed from the store. The drug store will continue to fill prescriptions until sometime in July. Prescriptions will be transferred to another pharmacy though customers can choose their own pharmacy if they prefer. They will need to make their own arrangements for the transfers. The negotiations with other pharmacies to accept the prescriptions is ongoing.
"This is not a decision made lightly," Casey said."But a decision was made because of profitability and lack of profitability, filling an Eliquis prescription for the cost $500 that insurance reimburses six weeks later for $475. That's been the trend that's been going on for several years."
Independent pharmacies have also been hurt because a Rochester drug co-op has closed and that removed the rebate structure that helped locally owned shops.
"That money has been gone for four or five years," Casey said. "That's money that we used to go into the bottom line. So in essence, it makes it unfortunately unprofitable."
The 66-year-old Casey started in the pharmacy business when he was 13 and has owned five pharmacies during his career.
Casey and his son Kevin Casey also own and operate a pharmacy in Victor. There are no plans currently to close that pharmacy but Casey said there was no problem with the business volume at Alberty.
"If you're losing money, you don't make it up in volume," Casey said. "And that's really the case. There are some things we'd make some money on, but pharmacies basically make it on the difference between the cost and what's paid. And that's dictated unfortunately by insurances. There's really no ability to negotiate with insurances."

Kosher Sushi Varieties
Most people are not aware that there are, in fact, many different types of kosher sushi. This is a list of some of the most popular types of kosher sushi eaten around the world.
Nigirizushi (which means "hand-formed sushi" in Japanese) is one of the most common types of sushi. It is formed from an oval-shaped mound of sushi rice made by pressing the rice between the chef's hands. Some wasabi may be added, and then the rice is topped with fish or seafood, like salmon, tuna or shrimp.
Sometimes a nigirizushi will be wrapped around its perimeter with a piece of seaweed , or nori, which can then be filled with soft toppings, such as fish eggs or corn and mayonnaise. This type of nigirzushi is called gunkanmaki ("warship roll" in Japanese).
Another very popular kind of sushi is makizushi ("rolled sushi"). Makizushi is made of fish or vegetables on top of rice on top of a nori, which is then rolled into a cylinder of about 1.5 inches and sliced into disc-shaped parts. California rolls are a popular type of makizushi. This type of sushi also comes in smaller and larger sizes, called hosomaki ("thin rolls") and futomaki ("thick rolls"), respectively.
The 'reverse makizushi' is called uramaki ("inside-out rolls"), because the sushi rice is on the outside of the roll, with the nori covering the filling inside the rice.
Inarizushi ("stuffed sushi") is another kind of sushi made using tofu. It is one of the simplest sushis, made only of fried tofu stuffed with sushi rice.
Sometimes sushi is not even prepared in rolls! Chirashizushi ("scattered sushi") is made by mixing sushi rice with fish, vegetables and condiments in a bowl.
If you've read the article on the History of Sushi, then you know that the oldest kind of sushi is called narezushi ("matured fish"). This ancient form of sushi is still made today, where the fish are cleaned, stuffed with salt and stored in a wooden barrel for six months.
There are so many different kinds of sushi, you're bound to find one you love!

So much for freedom of the press
Discussion in 'TrumpFest 2016' started by TitoMorelli, May 19, 2013.
TitoMorelli New Member
Not that I'm a real big fan of AP or the MSM, but I still believe in the First Amendment:
The President and CEO of the Associated Press told CBS News that the Justice Department's seizure of phone records was "unconstitutional" and has hurt the agency's ability to report on the news. It's not that the government doesn't have the right to seize phone records, Gary Pruitt said, but the methodology was "so sweeping, so secretively, so abusively and harassingly overbroad" that it violated the Constitution.
While investigating the source of a leak that led to a story about a failed terror plot in Yemen, the Justice Department "issued a secret subpoena for the phone toll records for 21 AP phone lines and these were phones lines for reporters, direct lines, cell phones, home phones but also the office numbers," Pruitt said. The Justice Department is required to make its request as narrowly as possible. Plus, it should have informed the AP first, although it claimed an exception to that rule saying it would threaten the investigation. "But they have not explained why it would and we can't understand why it would."
Now AP reporters are having trouble getting sources to talk. "Officials that would normally talk to us, and people we talk to in the normal course of news gathering, are already saying they're a little reluctant to talk to us," Pruitt said. "They fear that they will be monitored by the government."

On the one hand, we're happy with Bradley Manning being locked away. On the other, we're bemoaning the downfall of the freedom of the press. Which is it we value more? Secrecy or freedom?
Midtowner, May 19, 2013
personally, i like Bradley Manning, but you know, i'm a communist.
Sooner5030 Well-Known Member
Huh? How is Manning even brought up in this conversation? He voluntarily took an oath and also signed a statement that he would not disclose information that he would gain access to while he served. He was compensated for his service but he did not hold up his end of the contract.
Sooner5030, May 19, 2013
he should have just followed orders, huh?
yermom said: ↑
What the hell are you talking about? No one is allowed to leak classified information.....it's against regulation.
You watch too much TV. He wasn't some innocent civilian walking down the street who stumbled on some cables and wanted to get the "truth" out to a bunch of yermoms. He volunteered to serve in the Army and do it in a occupation that handles sensitive data. Part of that is to be trained to properly handle the data and follow all regulations in safeguarding it. He used the Army's trust to gain access to the SIPRnet in order to release information that he knew he did not have the authority to release. He was a Soldier and falls under a different set of rules than some civilian reporter.
he uncovered information that was on the atrocity level that otherwise wouldn't have been public

actually, he probably did them a favor with releasing so much since it flooded everything and that became the story, instead of individual things
That cable revealed a letter TO the state department from someone claiming that those events occurred. Big deal. He still didn't have the authority to release it. Which is why his *** is in jail. Get over it.

A person shouldnt have to use a burner to feel safe from an intrusive government, Yet arnt you in favor of Gun control?
Manning swore THIS oath along with Millions of others. He broke it Nuff said
Oath of Enlistment.
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
(Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

Leaking information is always against regulation or policy or whatever. In the military, the problem was that things which were classified really shouldn't have been. For example, why should the video of the helicopter attack where the journalist was killed have been classified? How did that protect national security?

Dont Matter what you or That PFC thought. It was way above His Pay grade to decide to leak the ****.

So because Bradley Manning got in trouble for leaking military info, no one should be upset that Obama is quashing the press and the constitution?
There's some kindergarten logic for you.

Ok so matlock by your logic. Say your secretary decided on her own that what was said an done between you an a client dint really need to be confidential, and sent the info to anyone who wanted to look at it. She should not be punished . Right?
Boy you are gonna grow up hard some day.
She'd be fired immediately.
But I don't really see the difference between Manning and the high level leaks occurring regarding the IRS scandal or Benghazi or whatnot. The only difference is that one kind of leak is politically expedient for the folks in charge and the other's not.
Course you dont see a difference yer an Idiot.

What is the role of companies today? What does it mean to be successful in business? What are the right measures of success?
These are the questions B Team Leader and Co-Founder of Natura, Guilherme Leal asks and answers in a new blog post.
Leal also details the process of Natura becoming a certified B Corporation. In late 2014, the company became the first publicly traded company to become a B Corp and also became the largest in terms of earnings and number of employees. Leal feels that 'B Corp' certification reinforces Natura's values and beliefs, but furthermore "indicates that Natura is on the right track to help build a more sustainable society" while stimulating the company to further improve its policies and practices.

So true about it being a parents responsibility so that their kids don't overeat, or have the junk food seed planted (at least up to a certain age). But all those habits start young, and way too many parents are trying tbe friends with their children rather than setting an example, and also far too often using junk food as a pacifer. It's setting them up for future failure, not only nutritionally, but also because they get their way, even though it's not the right way, and that's never going to work on good in world outside of their bubble.
P.S. Tried 3 sets of those KB single leg deadlifts, (actually had a dumbell but worked out perfect). Woo!! Definitely going to add those add! Balance was off, but got better with each set, and hamstrings were feeling GREAT!
Haha! Wow, talk about becoming like my parents lol!!
Yuppers, they're going to be a definite addition to the routine. I'm actually looking forward to leg day!
Much appreciated lol! I too am a glutton for that kind of beneficial punishment!
I love all the 411 you always supply. And with style to boot.
Food as excess is a thing, and that's a shame. Because I think so many people have lost the appreciation for it. I mean, shopping for fresh ingredients, spending an hour or two putting it together and enjoying a meal with family and friends. It's beautiful stuff!
Food isn't a race, it's a celebration.
Aww thanks for that! I do really try 🙂 and you are so right, there is something satisfying about making a good meal and enjoying it with others and enjoying all that goes with it.
Good plan! And that's a wonderful transition, good for you!

Grad Issue 2020 Info
Cal Lutheran Cancels All Spring Sports Due to Coronavirus
Paige Poggione, Reporter
Not only has the COVID-19 pandemic caused California Lutheran University to go to distance learning online, but also, it has resulted in the premature end of several athletic teams' seasons.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association and Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference' announced athletic teams who are currently in season have had their seasons completely canceled, including Cal Lutheran.
Some teams will continue practicing and training, but most have shut down operations completely. Coaches will continue to follow the university's guidance as the situation progresses.
"Our athletic director Dan Kuntz has been on top of communicating with all of us as usual and has been very supportive and concerned for the student-athletes, coaches, everyone's families and the university as a whole," men and women's tennis Head Coach Mike Gennette said in an email interview.
The tennis team will take a week off from all practicing and reevaluate the situation to determine the possibility of holding some optional practices for players.
"We don't want to put anyone in danger and it's also important to #flattenthecurve of the virus' spread for the greater good. So there is a good chance that tennis is over for the semester at CLU," Gennette said.
The Regals' water polo team was ranked number one in the College Water Polo National Poll amid the cancellation of their season, and were preparing to qualify for the new Division III National Championship tournament this spring, Head Coach Craig Rond said in an email interview.
"This is extremely sad. My heart is broken especially for the seniors that have lost their final year of water polo," Rond said.
According to the official NCAA Division III Administrative Committee, the NCAA will be granting an additional season of eligibility for student-athletes who are currently competing in spring sports. This allows athletes to truly participate in four seasons of their spring sport, if that is something they choose to do.
"We will work harder than ever once we are given the chance to do so," Rond said. "It appears that the NCAA is going to grant a waiver on this season so perhaps we may get some back to our team next spring."
Many athletes are finding themselves trying to make some sort of sense in a season cut-short.
"It's frustrating having so many things change so quickly, especially since it's a lot of things that we can't control," junior water polo player Taylor Campbell said.
The NCAA canceled all remaining winter and spring championships on March 12, according to their official website. This decision was based on the evolving COVID-19 public health threat and the necessity to avoid contributing to the spread during athletic competitions.
"The NCAA canceled every Spring Championship, which includes ours," Head Coach of men's volleyball Kevin Judd said in an email interview. "The NCAA has granted every athlete in a 'Spring' sport…their year of eligibility back! Interesting, but not practical for an athlete to spend the money for an extra season!"
While the option of playing another season is viable, for many players, particularly seniors, the option is not ideal if their post-graduation plans did not involve returning to Cal Lutheran for graduate school.
"It's super sad and I am so bummed that our season was cut short," sophomore softball player Rilee Grau said. "These girls are my best friends and we have eight amazing seniors that played the last games of their career and they didn't even know it, so it's really heartbreaking."
For senior athletes, the end of their spring season means the end of most of their athletic careers.
"I'm more upset for the seniors and for the team–we're all really, really close, and we don't get to finish it out, and some of the seniors didn't get to play in the tournaments," first-year golfer Claire Cornejo said.
For the Regals' lacrosse team, which entered into its inaugural season this year, the cancellation of their season is particularly devastating.
"I'm looking forward to looking back on this all several years from now, and saying wow look at all we overcame and how we grew in so many ways," lacrosse Head Coach Laura McIntyre said in an email interview. "This virus is bigger than the games, and the records but so are the reasons we play sports, the lessons we learn as athletes transcend what happens on the field and in preparation and stick with us forever."
As for the future, Cal Lutheran athletics will follow the NCAA and school protocol, and focus on coming out stronger after the dust has settled.
Cal Lutheran's tennis coach has been coaching at Cal Lutheran for 28 years, and has seen the school's resilience first hand. I have gone through a couple of epidemics SARS and MERS, 9-11, coached during a couple of wars and the 2008 recession, the 1994 earthquake, a few fire seasons, the Borderline shooting, and various other issues through the years," Gennette said. "I have seen the nation, the university and the students bounce back stronger than before each time. I am expecting the same this time."

Women equality and rights still a challenge in Africa
Wednesday 9 March 2011 / by Konye Obaji Ori
Seven of them were waving thin tree branches as they marched amid singing and sweat under the sweltering heat of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, until bullets were sprayed into their bodies in a horrifying massacre. The tree branches which symbolized peace laid in a sinister pool of blood where the women had once stood.
As women around the world celebrated world women's day, the United Nations recognized the fact that while progress has been made in the struggle for women liberation and equality, in too many countries and in too many societies — women remain second-class citizens, denied their fundamental rights, deprived of legitimate opportunity. In Africa most women are still considered inferior and subservient to men in many facets of society.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon speaking at the UN headquarters in New York, recalled that 100 years ago "gender equality was a largely radical idea. But while progress has been made in several countries, women in other countries are yet to enjoy certain rights and opportunities. Down in the Democratic Republic of Congo, women in the capital city of Kinshasa marched against rape, which has long been used as a weapon of war in the country. They were joined by the president's wife, Olive Kabila. In the near-civil-war nation of Ivory Coast, seven female demonstrators armed only with tree branches symbolizing peace were brutally killed last week by soldiers in armored personnel carriers opened fire at them. And during the world women's day celebration, thousands of Ivorian women defiantly marched to the bloodstained street to demand their rights. Around the world, women rose to be heard. In Gaza, hundreds of Palestinian women called for an end to the rift between Hamas, which controls Gaza, and Fatah, which controls the West Bank. In Croatia's capital, Zagreb, and the Adriatic port of Rijeka, protesters marking International Women's Day demanded jobs and called for the government to resign. In Manila, demonstrators demanded justice for "comfort women" forced into prostitution in World War II.
Over one million women and men took to the streets in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland on what was originally called International Working Women's Day on March 19, 1911 to demand an end to discrimination. But despite major progress over the last 100 years, the hopes of equality expressed on that first International Women's Day are a long way from being realized.
According to researchers, girls are still less likely to be in school than boys, almost two-thirds of illiterate adults are women, and every 90 seconds a woman dies in pregnancy or due to childbirth-related complications despite the knowledge and resources to make births safe, she said. Women also continue to earn less than men for the same work and have unequal inheritance rights and access to land. The difficulty in the struggle for women rights was captured by Reuters News Agency during the Egyptian protests when women who participated in the revolution seized the moment to demand for equality and an end to sexual harassment. Nonetheless, the women were chastised for their demands. The women were told "to stay home and raise presidents, not to run for president."
According to U.S. Secretary of State "Women in Egypt and Tunisia and other nations have just as much right as the men to remake their governments, to make them responsive, accountable, transparent. We will certainly be watching and the world will watch."
In 1975, during International Women's Year, the United Nations began celebrating March 8 as International Women's Day. Two years later the U.N. General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming a day for women's rights and international peace.

Das WOK – World of Kitchen Küchenmuseum (Kurzform: WOK-Museum) in Hannover ist das erste große Museum für Küchen in Europa. Es wurde am 15. April 2010 im Betriebsgebäude der früheren Großdruckerei Fehling im Stadtteil List eröffnet. Das Museum wird von dem Verein WOK-World of Kitchen Museum e. V. betrieben.

Beschreibung
Auf 1400 m² Ausstellungsfläche wird die Geschichte der Küchenkultur aus dem Mittelalter bis in die Neuzeit gezeigt, darunter Küchen verschiedener Nationen, Kontinente, Mythen und Märchen. Es gibt eine Halle mit Miniatur-Küchen und Puppenstuben-Küchen.

Weitere Einrichtungen des Museums sind ein Museums-Café sowie eine Schul- und Lehrküche mit einer rund 8.000 Kochbücher umfassenden Bibliothek.

Das Museum bietet täglich vier bis sechs Führungen an. Einmal im Jahr zur Nacht der Museen beleben sich die Küchen mit Laienschauspielern, die in historischen Kostümen Handwerk und Küchengeschehen vergangener Zeiten aufzeigen.

Ausstellungen
Das Küchenmuseum wurde am 15. April 2010 eröffnet. Seither wurden vierteljährlich neue Küchen-Kojen ergänzt.

Im November 2010 eröffnete die erste Sonderausstellung zum Thema 100 Jahre Weihnachtsbäckerei. Im April 2011 folgte eine große Ostereier-Sonderausstellung und ab September zogen die Exponate von AEG in die Hallen.

Vom 31. August bis 30. November 2012 fand eine Sonderausstellung zum Thema Sarotti statt. Die Geschichte der Schokoladenmarke – von 1852 bis heute – wurde mit über 500 Exponaten präsentiert.

Eine Schenkung im September 2012 ermöglicht dem Küchenmuseum den Bau einer italienischen Küche aus der Toscana mit handbemalten Möbeln aus dem Trentino sowie einem Gussherd. Wissenswertes zum Thema Pasta, Alba-Trüffel und venezianischen Tabletts erhalten Besucher bei einer Führung.

Im Oktober 2012 wurde aus der französischen Küche das Pariser Bistro « La Truffe » mit entsprechenden Schaufenstern, alten Straßenlaternen und den Bistro-Stühlen aus dem Jardin du Luxembourg. In den Auslagen waren Delikatessen ausgestellt, die die französische Küche ausmachen: Pasteten, Terrinen, Rohmilchkäse, Backwaren und Champagner. Auch Originalporzellan aus dem berühmten Pariser Bahnhofs-Restaurant Le Train Bleu wurde gezeigt.

Im Rahmen der breitgefächerten Ausstellung "Ton-Spuren-Keramik", die in 50 norddeutschen Museen ausgestellt wird, gibt es im Küchenmuseum im Jahre 2013 eine Sonderausstellung zum Thema Porzellan und deren Herstellung. Unter dem Motto "Der Elefant im Porzellan-Laden" zeigt die Ausstellung unter anderem die private Sammlung von 600 Kaffeekannen aus zwei Jahrhunderten in vielen Formen und Farben. Außerdem wird die Herstellung von Porzellan an kleinen Modellen in der Größe von Puppenstuben-Geschirr gezeigt.

Im September 2013 präsentierte die Sonderausstellung "Kaffee und Tee aus Übersee …" die Geschichte der Getränke und ihrer Zubereitung. Zum Thema gehörten auch Kakaobohnen und ihre Verarbeitung.

Im November 2013 wurde eine Küche aus dem Alten Land eingerichtet. Die gedrechselten Hochzeits-Möbel aus den 1920er Jahren haben eine lange Tradition in der Elbmarsch.

2014 konnte nach langer Suche endlich die erste Einbauküche, die Frankfurter Küche von Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky in der Ausstellung übernommen werden. Diese wurde 1926 für die Ernst May Siedlung in Frankfurt geschaffen und kostete damals 500 Reichsmark. Die Sonder-Ausstellung "Very Britisch" war im Jahr der Personalunion ein Publikumsmagnet.

2015 ist der Japanische Tee(t)raum entstanden. Außerdem hat das Skandinavische Haus mit einer Schwedenküche von 1930 und die amerikanische TV-Show-Küche "Dinner & Diner" Einzug gehalten. Die "Pudding-Küche" ist die Sonderausstellung zum Thema herzhafte und süße Puddings seit 1305. Hier sind unter anderem viele Formen und Verkaufshilfen von Dr. Oetker zu sehen.

2016 folgte die Sonder-Ausstellung "Mein Herz ich liebe Dich", mit einer Präsentation von über 300 Herzen aus einer 1200 Herzen umfassenden privaten Sammlung. Ob Gold, Silber, Glas, Porzellan oder aus Zuckerguss,  alle Exponate zeugten von einer großen Liebe des Sammler-Ehepaares.

Durch einen Internet-Aufruf erhielt das Museum 2018 die Einrichtung einer Konditorei mit Backstube. Damit bekamen die 40 Torten der privaten Sammlung von Konditor Günter Ognibeni aus Braunschweig ein neues Zuhause.

Eine Küche aus Andalusien, in schwarzem Ebenholz, zog 2019 in den maurischen Palast ein. Diese Schenkung aus Barsinghausen kam von einer Auswanderin aus Spanien, die hier eine neue Heimat fand.

Durch die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Stuhlmuseum in Einbeckshausen war es dem Küchen-Museum 2019 möglich eine Sonder-Ausstellung über die Geschichte der Produktion und Mode von Küchenstühlen der letzten 150 Jahren zu zeigen.

Für das Jubiläumsjahr 2020 wurde ein aufwendiges Konzept erarbeitet. Dieses konnte durch die Corona-Pandemie nicht umgesetzt werden und wird nachgeholt. Dazu gehört die  Sonderausstellung "Die Schatzkammer der antiken Kochbücher ist gefüllt" mit den Kochbüchern von Marc Biberbach, dem Hofkoch von Kaiserin Elisabeth (Sissi) und Kaiser Franz-Josef in der Wiener Hofburg.

Verein

Der gemeinnützige Verein trägt sich über die Besuchereinnahmen und erhält keine öffentlichen Fördermittel. Er hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, Kindern und Jugendlichen – vom Vorschulalter bis zu Berufseinsteigern – das Wissen der Ernährungsbildung zu vermitteln. Führungen für Schulklassen und das Erlernen des Umgangs und der Zubereitung der Lebensmittel werden angeboten.

Zehn Jahre nach Eröffnung des Museums hat der Verein in der integrierten Schulküche bereits unzählige Kochkurse mit über 20.000 Kindern und Jugendlichen durchgeführt.

Vereinsmitglieder nahmen im September 2013 auf Einladung an der Steuben-Parade in New York teil, bei der sie das WOK-Küchenmuseum in traditionellen Küchenkostümen präsentierten. Beim Empfang des Bürgermeisters von New York, Michael Bloomberg, erhielt das Museum die Silber-Medaille, die im Museum ausgestellt ist.

2013 gehörte der Verein zu den Preisträgern des am 30. November 2013 verliehenen Niedersachsenpreises für Bürgerengagement, den das Land Niedersachsen, die VGH Versicherungen und die Niedersächsischen Sparkassen stiften. Damit wurde der Verein unter Vorsitz von Carl-Werner Möller-Hof zum Berge für das Engagement, über 8000 Kindern gesunde Ernährung in der Schulküche vermittelt zu haben, gewürdigt.

Zita Schröder (Hardinxveld, 1996) is een Nederlands korfbalster. Ze speelt namens PKC in de hoogste Nederlandse competitie ; de Korfbal League. Ze won 3 Nederlandse en 2 Europese titels met PKC.
In 2022 werd zij verkozen tot Beste Korfballer van het Jaar.

Begin
Schröder begon met korfbal bij Vriendenschaar (Hardinxveld). Hier doorliep ze de jeugdteams.

PKC
In 2016, op 20-jarige leeftijd, besloot Schröder om over te stappen naar het naburige PKC uit Papendrecht.
In haar eerste seizoen, 2016-2017 was Detlef Elewaut de hoofdcoach van de ploeg en had zij nog niet direct een basisplaats in het team. Zo gingen de basisplaatsen in dit seizoen vaak naar internationals Nadhie den Dunnen, Suzanne Struik, Lara Boonstoppel en Maaike Steenbergen. Wel kreeg Schröder haar invalbeurten in het team.
In dit seizoen deed PKC iets bijzonders in het zaalseizoen ; het verloor namelijk in de reguliere competitie geen enkele wedstrijd. Ongeslagen ging de ploeg de play-offs in. De tegenstander was de als nummer 4 geplaatste AKC Blauw-Wit. In de best-of-3 serie verloor PKC en liep het de finale mis.
Iets later, in het veldseizoen, eindige PKC als 1e in Poule B. Hierdoor kwam het uit tegen LDODK in de kruisfinale. In deze belangrijke wedstrijd kreeg Schröder wel een basisplaats. PKC verloor de wedstrijd echter met 18-22, waardoor het ook de veldfinale mis liep.

In seizoen 2017-2018 was Lara Boonstoppel overgestapt naar concurrent TOP. Hierdoor kreeg Schröder een vaste basisplaats.
In dit zaalseizoen had PKC wederom een sterk regulier seizoen. De ploeg ging, net als het jaar ervoor, als nummer 1 de play-offs in. Dit maal was de tegenstander het Delftse Fortuna. Ook nu verloor PKC de best-of-3 serie.
Iets later, in de veldcompetitie kon PKC alsnog sportieve wraak nemen. Zo versloeg PKC in de kruisfinale Koog Zaandijk met 26-16 en kwam het Fortuna tegen in de veldfinale. PKC won de finale met 20-17, waardoor het Nederlands veldkampioen was.

Aangezien PKC de veldkampioen van 2018 was, deed het mee aan de Supercup, een wedstrijd tussen de Nederlandse en Belgische veldkampioen. PKC trad aan tegen Kwik en won de wedstrijd met 28-14.

Seizoen 2018-2019 starte voor PKC met een nieuwe hoofdcoach. PKC had na 2 jaar gebroken met Detlef Elewaut en Daniël Hulzebosch aangesteld als nieuwe oefenmeester. In dit zaalseizoen lukt het PKC om de zaalfinale te halen (door in de play-offs makkelijk te winnen van LDODK). In de zaalfinale was Fortuna de tegenstander in het Ziggo Dome. Fortuna won de wedstrijd met 21-19.
Iets later, in de veldcompetitie, wilde PKC de veldtitel prolongeren. PKC werd 1e in Poule B en kwam DOS'46 tegen in de kruisfinale. PKC verloor de wedstrijd met 20-14, waardoor het onttroond werd als veldkampioen.

Seizoen 2019-2020 werd een gek jaar, sportief gezien. PKC had op de eerste helft van de veldcompetitie alle wedstrijden gewonnen en in de zaal stond het na 17 wedstrijden op de eerste plek.
Toen werd in april 2020 alle competities stil gelegd vanwege de coronapandemie. Dit seizoen werd niet meer uitgespeeld.
Na dit seizoen besloot coach Hulzebosch te stoppen bij PKC.

Seizoen 2020-2021 startte met 2 nieuwe hoofdcoaches bij PKC, namelijk Wim Scholtmeijer en Jennifer Tromp. Vanwege de coronapandemie was de zaalcompetie anders ingedeeld en opgezet.
In plaats van 1 waren er nu 2 play-off rondes. PKC was in de 10 reguliere wedstrijden ongeslagen en trof in de eerste play-off ronde DVO. PKC won de best-of-3 serie in 2 wedstrijden, waardoor het ongeslagen door ging naar de tweede play-off ronde. In deze ronde was TOP de tegenstander. TOP won de eerste wedstrijd, maar PKC won de 2 volgende wedstrijden, waardoor het zichzelf plaatste voor de zaalfinale. In de zaalfinale was, net als in 2019, Fortuna de tegenstander. PKC won de wedstrijd met 22-18, waardoor het Nederlands zaalkampioen werd.
De veldcompetitie van dit seizoen werd niet meer uitgespeeld vanwege corona.

In seizoen 2021-2022 waren Fortuna en PKC wederom de zaalfinalisten. Dit maal won Fortuna de finale met 22-21, waardoor PKC onttroond was als zaalkampioen.
In de veldcompetitie stond PKC ook in de finale, aangezien het LDODK had verslagen in de kruisfinale. In de finale was DVO de tegenstander. PKC won de finale met 24-23 en was zodoende weer de Nederlands veldkampioen.
Voor Schröder was er dit seizoen ook individueel succes. Zo werd zij aan het eind van het seizoen genomineerd voor Beste Speelster van Nederland. Schröder won de prijs.

The house that came to be known as Starboard Light was built in Chatham, Massachusetts in 1800. In those years, the concept of a summer home was almost unheard of, and there was no interest in Cape Cod. In fact, by 1860 Cape Cod's population went into decline. A local map from that era identifies individual dwellings by their owners' names!
Back then Cape Cod was a rough, undeveloped peninsula, but because it was within striking distance of both Boston and New York by train, it soon became an attractive destination for those who wanted to escape the city and experience the simple life by the beach and the sea. Local farmers and seamen were delighted to sell "worthless" coastland for $30 an acre to incoming city slickers. The Forbes family bought Naushon Island in its entirety. Secretary of State Richard Olney bought a place in Falmouth. And in 1890, ex-President Grover Cleveland settled in Wings Neck.
In 1925, my great-grandfather William W. Fitzhugh bought Starboard Light. It was built in 1800 along with two other houses on Stage Harbor by Captain Harding–one of the founding fathers of Chatham–for his three sons. Even by 1925, it was one of just three houses in eyesight.
Today there are over fifteen houses and seventy anchored boats in view, evidence of the sevenfold population increase on Cape Cod over the past century. Tourists cram the towns, the beaches, and the roads. Newcomers love and embrace the old Cape Cod culture, yet the many old Cape families, both blue collar and white, can't afford to stay. They also can't bear to leave. The old Cape Cod culture was about simplicity, modesty and stoicism. But with the natural fragmentation of familial wealth, and the growing value of waterfront property, these families are increasingly forced to sell their multi-generational homes. New families with new money erect new homes whose size and cost emphasize a new value for luxury that never before existed on Cape Cod.
Yet by 2010, Starboard Light still stood as one of the few remaining icons of the previous century and its values, and it was still owned by the Fitzhugh family. Particularly when compared to the newer, larger homes popping up around it, Starboard Light seemed suspended in time, enchanting family and guests alike.
Moss-covered sea gray shingles. Impossibly small beds full of bumpy springs. A permanent odor of moth balls. Yellowed and peeling wallpaper. Warped floors speckled by hand with paint. Shelves full of dusty hardcover books. Walls lined with family photographs that look as though they belong in an American History book. A wooden wheelchair. A porcelain wash basin. A workshop crammed with tools for a hundred years of projects. And small, storm-battered windows looking out over the harbor.
Yet the sum of all of these ramshackle parts added up to something much more than a house. Starboard Light was the beacon of the Fitzhugh family, and in 2010 they prepared to say goodbye to five generations of life and love within its walls.
