Top 10 kickers and punters in NFL: Justin Tucker's at the top, and here's who else made the list for 2019
The Bears might want to take notes on the kicker part of this list
by John Breech

For the past few weeks here at CBSSports.com, we've been putting out our top-10 rankings for every position group in the NFL heading into the 2019 season. Well, except for one group, because we've decided to save the best for last.
After ranking everything from quarterbacks, to EDGE rushers, to offensive lines, we're closing out our rankings this week with kickers and punters.
If the 2018 postseason proved one thing, it's that those two positions are two of the most important on the field, even if punters and kickers are only actually on the field for five or six plays per game. Ask any Bears fan about the importance of a good kicker and after they punch you in the face for reminding them about Chicago's double-doink playoff loss to the Eagles, they'll likely start sobbing and letting you know how much they wish they still had Robbie Gould, who, by the way, ended up ranked very highly on our top-10 list of kickers.
As for punters, last season's Super Bowl showed America just how much fun a football game dominated by punters can be. Sure, the game was kind of boring to anyone who doesn't appreciate phenomenal punting, but for everyone else, watching Johnny Hekker put himself into the MVP conversation with one of the best punting performances in NFL history added some serious spice to the game. In what will probably come as a surprise to no one, Hekker ranked very highly on our top-10 list of punters.
Oh, and one thing you'll notice about the punter portion of our list is that there are two Australians on it. At the rate we're going, the punter list might be made up entirely of Australians at this point next year.
Anyway, let's get to the rankings.
Top 10 kickers
10. Matt Bryant, free agent
Bryant doesn't have a job right now, which is kind of crazy, when you consider the fact that he's been one of the best kickers in the NFL over the past few seasons. Since 2016, Bryant has hit 90.7 percent of his field goals, which ranks third overall in the span. If you look at the numbers from just last season, Bryant hit 95.2 percent of his field goals, which ranked third in the NFL. Bryant also hit 11 of 12 kicks from beyond 40 yards, which was tied with Robbie Gould for the best percentage of any kicker that attempted more than 10 field goals from that distance. The biggest knock on Bryant is that he's 44 years old and his body is falling apart, but despite that, he seems like he still has enough left in the tank to play for at least one more season. Any domed team looking for a kicker might want to give him a call (and yes, I'm looking directly at you Minnesota).
9. Matt Prater, Lions
For some teams, the extra point was an adventure last season -- just ask the Steelers about that, they watched Chris Boswell miss five PATs last year -- however, the Lions didn't have to worry about missed extra points in 2018 and that's because Prater was one of just three kickers who nailed every PAT he attempted last year. Not only was Prater perfect on extra points, but he was also pretty impressive in the field goal kicking department, hitting 28 of 32 kicks. The most impressive thing about Prater is that he's a solid combination of strength and accuracy. Not only is he one of the 25 most accurate kickers in NFL history, but he also holds the NFL record for longest field goal (64 yards).
8. Josh Lambo, Jaguars
Although Lambo's career got off to a rocky start with the Chargers, he's made nearly every kick he's attempted since signing with the Jaguars in 2017. Over the past two seasons, Lambo has hit 92.7 percent of his field goals, which ranks third in the NFL over that span. During his two years in Jacksonville, Lambo has slowly turned into one of the most reliable kickers in the league, which is why he's ranked so high on this list. He's also the only kicker on this list who brought his dog to his contract signing.

That's a good dog.
7. Adam Vinatieri, Colts
If these kicker rankings were based on what you've done over your entire career, then Vinatieri would be at the top, but that's not how we did things here. In these rankings, the only thing that matters is whether or not a kicker will be effective during the 2019 season. Although Vinatieri's numbers were mostly average last season -- he ranked 18th overall in field goal percentage -- the bottom line is that there's not many other kickers you'd want on your sideline during the fourth quarter of a close game. Of course, if Vinatieri completely implodes in a playoff game again this year like he did last season against the Chiefs -- he missed a 23-yard field goal and an extra point -- then we might have to pull him off of next year's list.
6. Stephen Gostkowski, Patriots
Patriots fans seem to have a love-hate relationship with Gostkowski, and by that, I mean half the fan base seems to love him and half the fan base seems to hate him. Although Gostkowski has had his struggles over the past few years -- he's missed one kick in each of the past two Super Bowls he's played in -- the fact of the matter is that he's almost always clutch when it counts.
Five kickers since 1986 have hit at least 90% of clutch FG (last 2:00 or OT, to tie or take lead) with at least 12 attempts. Four are active: Prater, Tucker, Bryant, Gostkowski. The other is Jason Elam.
— Aaron Schatz 🏈 (@FO_ASchatz) March 27, 2018
One of Gostkowski's best games of 2018 came during New England's regular season game against the Chiefs. In a 43-40 win, Gostkowski hit five field goals, including a 50-yarder in the fourth quarter with 3:15 left to play and a 28-yarder as time expired to give the Patriots the win.
5. Harrison Butker, Chiefs
Despite the fact that he's only been in the NFL for two years, Butker has already proven himself to be one of the best kickers in the league. In two seasons with the Chiefs, Butker has hit 89.9 percent of his field goals (62 of 69), which ranks in the top 10 for all kickers over the past two seasons. The Chiefs have been so impressed with Butker that they actually gave him a four-year extension this offseason even though he still had two years left on his rookie contract. Although Butker isn't at the top of our kicker rankings, he is at the top my personal ranking for best Twitter handle by an NFL player: ButtKicker7.

— Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) June 13, 2019
Yup, ButtKicker7 is here to stay. I bet the Chiefs love tweeting that name out.
4. Wil Lutz, Saints
If the Saints didn't get victimized by the worst pass interference no-call in NFL history last season, most of America would know Lutz as the guy who hit the game-winning field goal against the Rams in the NFC title game (Lutz's kick with 1:41 left put the Saints up 23-20), but we all know that's not how that game ended. That game is worth noting though, because it's indicative of how well Lutz played last season. The Saints kicker went 3-for-3 against the Rams and was a big reason why the game went down to the wire. Lutz was just as impressive during the regular season, hitting 28 of 30 field goals. At one point in 2018, Lutz hit 26 straight field goals, which set a Saints franchise record. The Saints were so impressed with his 2018 season that they signed him to a new five-year deal in March.
3. Greg Zuerlein, Rams
If you watched the NFC Championship game in January, then you probably know why Zuerlein is ranked so high on this list. In a span of just three minutes and 28 seconds during that game, Zuerlein kicked two of the most impressive field goals in NFL playoff history. First, he drilled a 48-yarder with 15 seconds left to play that tied things up and sent the game to overtime. Once the game got to OT, Zuerlein sent the Rams to the Super Bowl with a walk-off 58-yard field goal that would have been good from about 70 yards.
Greg Zuerlein sends the @RamsNFL to the @SuperBowl!!!!!#LARams #NFLPlayoffs pic.twitter.com/vJ9goPzit2
— NFL (@NFL) January 20, 2019
Zuerlein seems to especially love the bright lights of Hollywood, because he's thrived since the Rams move to Los Angeles in 2016. Over the past three seasons combined, Zuerlein has hit 90.3 percent of his field goals, which ranks fourth of any kicker over that span. To put that in perspective, Zuerlein only had one season over 80 percent during his four years in St. Louis. If there's one knock on Zuerlein, it's that he always seems to be injured, having missed a total of five games over the past two seasons. The problem with a kicker getting injured, especially when that injury is below the waist -- Zuerlein battled a groin injury in 2018 -- is that you never know how they're going to recover. For instance, Dan Bailey would have been on nearly every list of top 10 kickers at this time last year, but he hasn't been the same since dealing with multiple injuries during his final year in Dallas (2017), which is why the Cowboys ended up cutting him and one of the reasons why he likely struggled in Minnesota. The good news for Zuerlein is that he seems to have recovered smoothly from every injury he's had to deal with.
2. Robbie Gould, 49ers
In a twist of irony that probably makes most Bears fans want to throw up, Gould has turned into one of the best kickers in the NFL since being dumped by Chicago after the 2015 season. In the three seasons since then, all Gould has done is put together quite possibly the best three-year run of any kicker in NFL history. Since 2016, Gould has hit 96.5 percent of his field goals (82 of 85), which includes hitting a perfect 100 percent in 2016, 95.1 percent in 2017 and 97.1 percent in 2018. Meanwhile, in Chicago...

— Bears Talk (@NBCSBears) February 26, 2019
The only real knock on Gould is that he's struggled with extra points. Since the NFL moved the PAT back in 2015, Gould has only hit 92.8 percent of his kicks (103 of 111), which is worse than Cody Parkey and Roberto Aguayo in that span. That being said, Gould is absolutely one of the best kickers in the league, even though he might not technically be in the league this year. The 49ers kicker doesn't want to play for the 49ers, and things have gotten so contentious between the two sides that Gould won't even commit to showing up for Week 1, let alone training camp.
We're at the point where 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan is just hoping Gould shows up for anything at all.
"I just hope he shows up by the time we play Week 1," Shanahan said in June.
That doesn't sound too promising.
1. Justin Tucker, Ravens
Being the most accurate kicker in NFL history is a pretty strong argument for getting the top spot in our kicker rankings, and that's a big reason why we have Tucker at No. 1. Over seven NFL seasons, Tucker has nailed 90.1 percent of his field goals, which is not only the best number in NFL history, but it's nearly three percent better than any other kicker ever (Robbie Gould is second on the all-time accuracy list at 87.7 percent and Stephen Gostkowski ranks third at 87.4 percent). Tucker also has the highest accuracy rate on extra points among active kickers. Basically, he almost never misses, and when he does, it's a total shock. Like, seriously: Just look at how shocked Tucker was after he missed the first and only extra point of his career back in Week 7, a kick that came in the waning moments of a 24-23 loss to the Saints.
Justin Tucker can't believe Justin Tucker missed a potential game-tying XP pic.twitter.com/1wuX1W9vql
— CBS Sports (@CBSSports) October 21, 2018
Tucker's field goal percentage could actually be higher, but he's so good, the Ravens are always trotting him out for crazy kicks. Tucker has three career misses from beyond 60 yards, including a 65-yarder last season that came in a Week 16 game against the Chargers. Also, when Tucker misses, it's not always his fault. Of his four misses in 2018, two were blocked and one was that 65-yarder. The only one that you could truly blame on Tucker was a 53-yarder that he sent wide left, but even that kick isn't a gimme. Tucker has only gotten better with age and if he plays the next seven seasons like he played his first seven seasons, he could go down as the best kicker in NFL history.
As an added bonus, he can also speak eight languages and sings opera.

He might be better at singing opera than he is at kicking.
JUST MISSED: Graham Gano, Dustin Hopkins, Aldrick Rosas, Jason Sanders, Jason Myers
Top 10 punters
10. Matt Wile, Vikings
In his first full season as an NFL punter, Wile had the second-best touchback percentage of any punter in the NFL with only two touchbacks on 72 punts (Touchbacks are usually viewed as bad for a punter because the idea is to pin an opponent inside the 20, not on the 20). Wile also finished the 2018 season with a net punting average of 41.5 yards, which ranked tied for ninth in the NFL. By the way, it's a good thing for Wile that this ranking is only taking into account his punting skills, because if we were taking into account other parts of the job -- like holding -- Wile probably wouldn't have made this list. Apparently, there's so much "concern" in Minnesota about Wile's holding skills that it might actually cost him his job. If the Vikings dump Wile, he could potentially be an offseason steal for any team looking to add a punter ... as long as that new team doesn't ask him to hold.
9. Logan Cooke, Jaguars
If you watched the Jaguars play any games last season, you probably saw Cooke multiple times, and that's mainly because Jacksonville's offense was horrible, which meant they were punting nearly every time they touched the ball. Putting a rookie punter in that situation could have been disastrous, but it ended up working out for the Jags. Cooke knocked 37 of his punts inside the 20-yard line, which was the third highest number in the NFL. Cooke and the Jags punt coverage team also thrived together, holding returners to an average of just 5.0 yards per return. That return average was tied for the second-best coverage in the NFL, which means that Jaguars were actually good at something last season, even if you didn't notice it.
8. Michael Palardy, Panthers
The Panthers punt coverage team probably loves Palardy and that's because he makes their job easy. During the 2018 season, opposing returners called for a fair catch on 39.3 percent of Palardy's punts, which ranked as the third-best number in the NFL. Palardy doesn't have the strongest leg in the league, but for the most part, he does a good job of doing exactly what the Panthers ask him to do with each punt.
7. Cameron Johnston, Eagles
For years, the Bloomin' Onion was the most best export to come out of Australia, but now, it seems that Australia has gotten better at producing something else: NFL punters. Johnston is one of two Australian punters on our top-10 list, along with Michael Dickson, but I can't tell you where Dickson is ranked, because we're not quite there yet. As for Johnston, the 2018 season marked his first year as the Eagles punter and he responded by having one of the best seasons of any punter in the NFL. Johnston's net punting average of 42.7 yards was tied for the third-best number in the league last season. To he honest, we probably should have all seen his rise coming, and that's because back in the preseason, he punted a ball halfway to Australia.
If you were wondering how Cameron Johnston's transition to the NFL is going, he just bombed an 81-yard punt. pic.twitter.com/S7q8J9Imah
— Eleven Warriors (@11W) August 10, 2018
Although Johnston didn't boom any 81 yarders during the regular season, he did have a 68-yard punt in 2018, which was tied for the seventh-longest punt of the season.
6. Andy Lee, Cardinals
It's a miracle Lee's leg didn't fall off last season and that's because led the entire NFL in total punts with 94. To put that in perspective, no other punter in the NFC even punted the ball 80 times in 2018. Of course, punting the ball a lot doesn't make you good, you actually have to do something with those punts and Lee definitely did. Lee led the NFL with 48.6 yards per punt and ranked fifth overall in net yardage (42.6).
5. Tress Way, Redskins
The Redskins had a total of four starting quarterbacks in 2018, which wasn't good news for the Redskins, but it was good news for Way, who saw a lot of action after Washington's offense started sputtering following the injury to Alex Smith. During the 2018 season, Way had one of the best years of his career. Not only did the lead the league in punts inside the 20, but he was also the only full-time punter in the NFL who didn't kick a touchback last season. Way also forced opposing returners to call for a fair-catch a total of 26 times, which was the third-highest number in the league last season. The only knock on Way is that opposing teams averaged 9.8 yards per return against him, but we can probably go ahead and pin most of that blame on the Redskins' punt coverage team, because it definitely wasn't Way's fault.

— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) November 13, 2018
Way also invented a trivia card game, which makes him the only punter on this list who has invented a trivia card game.
4. Rigoberto Sanchez, Colts
Sanchez might be the best punter in the NFL who you've never heard of. During the 2018 season, Sanchez had a net average of 42.7 yards per punt, which ranked third in the NFL, and that's not even his most impressive stat. The most impressive thing about Sanchez is that opposing teams were only able to average 4.4 yards per punt return against the Colts last season, which was the best number in the NFL. A big reason the Colts' coverage unit thrives with Sanchez is because they know exactly where he's going to put the ball every time he punts it. Theoretically, that should be the case with every NFL team, but Sanchez and the Colts seem to have perfected it.
Here's a play from Indy's Week 17 win over the Titans that shows just how perfectly in-sync the Colts' punt team was last season. The two gunners ran straight to where they expected the ball to land, and then it landed there, allowing Indy to force a pivotal turnover just before the first half ended in their 33-17 win.

— The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) December 31, 2018
The Colts have clearly noticed how good Sanchez is, and we know that, because they gave him a four-year contract extension in June.
3. Michael Dickson, Seahawks
When the Seahawks decided to trade up for a punter during the 2018 NFL Draft, everyone thought they were crazy, but as it turns out, the crazy ones were the 31 other teams who didn't trade up to grab Dickson in the draft. During his rookie season, Dickson averaged 48.2 yards per punt, which ranked second in the NFL. Although punting average can be viewed as a power stat that only shows how strong a punter's leg is, Dickson also showed plenty of finesse last season with 28 of his 78 punts dropping inside the 20-yard line. As an added bonus, Dickson can also drop kick.
The @mdcksn drop kick 👀👀👀
📺: #SEAvsDAL on FOX #NFLPlayoffs pic.twitter.com/nVsvQ5QxvT
Can Russell Wilson drop kick? No.
Basically, what this means is that the Seahawks should tear up Wilson's contract and give all that money to Dickson because he's the best player on the team. OK, that's probably taking it too far, but Dickson is definitely one of Seattle's key players. The Seahawks offense has a tendency to go into dry spells every so often and having a punter who can flip the field is a big reason why they're able to stay in games when that happens.
2. Johnny Hekker, Rams
You can't have a 'best punter in the NFL conversation' without talking about Hekker, which is why we're talking about Johnny Hekker. Not only has Hekker been one of the best punters in the NFL since his rookie year in 2012, but he single-handedly proved just how valuable punters can be during the Rams' 13-3 Super Bowl loss to the Patriots. Hekker was so good in that game that there was that he was a legitimate MVP early in the second half.
There's press box chatter about Johnny Hekker being MVP if the Rams find a way to win this one. Especially if he ends up completing a pass on a fake.
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) February 4, 2019
During the Super Bowl, Hekker punted nine times for an average of 46.3 yards, but that wasn't even the most impressive part. The most impressive part was that he pinned the Patriots inside their own 20 a total of five times while also setting the Super Bowl record for longest punt in the game when he knocked a 65-yarder in the third quarter that flipped the field.
Of course, if you watched Hekker at all during the 2018 season, then you probably weren't surprised by his Super Bowl performance. Although he only punted the ball 43 times -- tied with Thomas Morstead for the league-low -- Hekker still was able to finish second in net punting yards (43.2), fourth in touchback percentage (only four touchbacks on 43 punts) and fifth in percentage of punts that landed inside the 20. Hekker also comes with one other talent that most punters don't have: He's perfected the fake punt. During his seven-year career, Hekker has completed 11 of 19 passes for 158 yards and a touchdown. He also converted a pivotal fake punt against the Saints in the NFC title game.
IT'S A FAKE 😱 @JHekker pic.twitter.com/4UAGpLqnWR
— The Checkdown (@thecheckdown) January 20, 2019
Hekker easily could have been put in the top spot here, but instead, we went with someone else and you're about to find out who that is.
1. Thomas Morstead, Saints
Punting for the Saints might sound like an easy job -- mainly, because they never actually punt -- but we're not going to hold that against our top-ranked punter, Morstead. Although he punted a league-low 43 times last season, Morstead definitely made the most of those punts and he was a big reason why the Saints had one of the best punt coverage teams in the NFL last season. Thanks to Morstead, the Saints only gave up 60 punt return yards all year (that's an average of 3.75 yards per game). A big reason that number was so low is because only 12 of his 43 punts were returnable. Of the other 31, 15 ended on a fair catch, four went for a touchback and 12 were either downed or went out of bounds. Thanks to Morstead's uncanny ability to put a punt wherever he wants, he averaged 43.2 net punting yards in 2018, which led the NFL (The Saints don't ask him to use it all the time, but he also has a pretty strong leg. Morstead averaged 46.4 yards per punt last season, which ranked seventh in the NFL. He's also averaged 46.9 yards per punt over the course of his career, which ranks third in NFL history).
Of course, one season of great punting doesn't put you at the top of this list. Morstead's ranked No. 1 because he's been doing this for years. Morstead has ranked in the top-10 for net punting average in each of the past eight seasons and has ranked in the top-5 in six of those seasons. The Saints like Morstead so much that they already have the 33-year-old under contract for the next four years.

Solution: Based on suggestion of Veritas I put the function to create new thread in to SurfaceCreated
@Override
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder){
    plot_thread = new WaveformPlotThread(getHolder(), this);
    plot_thread.setRunning(true);
    plot_thread.start();

}
public WaveformView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs){
    super(context, attrs);

    getHolder().addCallback(this);
    //plot_thread = new WaveformPlotThread(getHolder(), this);
    dataY_color.setColor(Color.GREEN);
    dataY_color.setStrokeWidth(3);

}

A: Four things

*

*Check for if canvas is null in your PlotPoints method,
if(canvas == null) {
       return ; // return silently
    }
Possibly on surface destroyed surfaceholder is returning you a null canvas

*As isalgueiro suggested make _run as volatile/

*Make the default value of _run as true, because if somewhere you start this thread without setting _run as true, its quite possible that the thread ends before you can do anything constructive with it. Default value of false has no meaning in your case.

*Don't extend thread instead implement runnable.
Last two points are more of best practices ..
--EDIT --
For time being create a new Thread in surfaceCreated and then start it, its because your logic for exiting the while loop when _run is set to  false will make the thread complete its run method and the thread will die. The error is self indicative you cannot start a thread once it is already started. Either you reuse your thread by correcting your logic of _run = false/true or adopt a better solution by using  Executor ThreadPool see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/concurrency/pools.html.
For time being you can create a new thread in surfacecreated method instead of constructor

A: I ran into the same problem. I could not figure out why the Thread would not stop when setRunning(false) was called, but I managed to bypass the NullPointerException by wrapping plot_area.PlotPoints() in another if(canvas != null) statement. So your run() method in WaveformPlotThread would look like this:
@Override
public void run(){
    Canvas c;
    while(_run){
    //while(Thread.currentThread() == runner){
        c = null;
        try{
            c = holder.lockCanvas(null);
            synchronized (holder) {
                if(c!=null) {
                    plot_area.PlotPoints(c);
                }
            }
        }finally{
            if(c!=null){
                holder.unlockCanvasAndPost(c);
            }
        }
    }
}

Also, as a side note, @Override public void onDraw(Canvas canvas) is not necessary, and overriding onDraw() or draw() is not recommended. The whole method can be deleted.

A: Make _run volatile, so reads and writes are atomic. See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/concurrency/atomic.html
public class WaveformPlotThread extends Thread {
    private SurfaceHolder holder;
    private WaveformView plot_area;
    private volatile boolean _run = false;

April 16, 2019 AviationAviatrix, Blériot XI, Channel Crossing, Dover, English Channel, Gnôme 7 Omega, Hardelot-Plage, Harriet Quimby, Louis Charles Joseph Blériot, Pas-de-Calais, Women in AviationBryan Swopes
Harriet Quimby, September 1910. (Edmunds Bond/The Boston Globe)
16 April 1912: American aviatrix Harriet Quimby flew across the English Channel in a Blériot XI monoplane. She departed Dover at 5:30 a.m. and crossed a fog-shrouded channel to land at Hardelot-Plage, Pas-de-Calais, 1 hour, 9 minutes later. Her only instruments were a hand-held compass and a watch.
FLIGHT reported:
MISS QUIMBY FLIES THE CHANNEL.
ALTHOUGH Miss Harriet Quimby has made an enviable reputation for herself as a capable pilot in America, her native country, she has not been very well-known on this side of the Atlantic, and no doubt few of our readers who read the announcement in FLIGHT a week or so back that she was coming to Europe, looked for her so soon to make her mark by crossing the Channel. Contrary to what one would expect, the feat was carried through without any fuss or elaborate preparations, and only a few friends, including Mr. Norbet Chereau and his wife and Mrs Griffith, an American friend, knew the attempt was being made and were present at the start. Miss Quimby had ordered a 50-h.p. Gnome-Blériot, which arrived from France on Saturday, and was tested on Sunday by Mr. Hamel. On Tuesday morning, as previously arranged, after Mr. Hamel had taken the machine for a preliminary trial flight, Miss Quimby, who had been staying at Dover under the name of Miss Craig, took her place in the pilot's seat, and at 5.38 left Deal, rising by a wide circle and steering a course, by the aid of the compass, for Cape Grisnez. Dover Castle was passed at a height of 1,500 feet, and by the time the machine was over the sea, it was at an altitude of about 2,000 feet. Guided solely by compass, Miss Quimby arrived above the Grisnez Lighthouse a little under an hour later, and making her way towards Boulogne she came down at Equihen by a spiral vol plané not far from the Blériot sheds.
To Miss Quimby, therefore belongs the honour of being the first of the fair sex to make the journey, unaccompanied, across the Channel on an aeroplane; and, appropriately enough, as the first crossing of an aeroplane by a "mere man" was on a Blériot machine, her mount was of that type. Miss Trehawke Davies, it will be remembered, was the first lady to cross the Channel in an aeroplane, but she was a passenger with Mr. Hamel on his Blériot monoplane.
—FLIGHT, No. 173. (No. 16, Vol. IV.), 20 April 1912 at Page 345
Quimby was the first woman to fly across the channel, but that was not her only "first": On 11 August 1911, after 33 flight lessons over a four-month period at the Moisant Aviation School at Hempstead, Long Island, New York, she had become the first American woman to receive a pilot's license, Number 37, from the Aero Club of America. She was called as "America's First Lady of the Air." Miss Quimby was widely known for her "plum-colored" satin flying suit.
Miss Harriet Qumby, 1911, (Leslie Jones Collection, Boston Public Library)
Harriet Quimby was born 11 May 1875 at Arcadia, Michigan. She was the fourth child of William F. Quimby, a farmer, and Ursula M. Cook Quimby. The family moved to California in 1887, initially settling in Arroyo Grande, and then San Francisco. There, she worked as an actress, and then a writer for the San Francisco Call newspaper, and Leslie's Illustrated Weekly. Quimby also wrote a number of screenplays for early Hollywood movies which were directed by D.W. Griffiths.
Harriet Quimby was killed at Quincy, Massachusetts, 1 July 1912, when her Blériot XI, circling the airfield at 1,500 feet (457 meters) suddenly pitched down and she and her passenger were thrown out. Miss Quimby was buried at the Kensico Cemetery, Valhalla, New York.

The Blériot XI was a single-seat, single-engine monoplane, designed by Raymond Saulnier and built by Louis Charles Joseph Blériot. It was 26.24 feet (7.998 meters) long with a wingspan of 25.35 feet (7.727 meters) and overall height of 8 feet (2.438 meters). The wings had a chord of 6 feet (1.829 meters). The airplane had an empty weight of 507 pounds (229.9 kilograms).
In its original configuration, the airplane was powered by an air-cooled, 3.774 liter (230.273 cubic inches) R.E.P. two-row, seven-cylinder fan engine (or "semi-radial") which produced 30 horsepower at 1,500 r.p.m., driving a four-bladed paddle-type propeller. The R.E.P. engine weighed 54 kilograms (119 pounds). This engine was unreliable and was soon replaced by an air-cooled 3.534 liter (215.676 cubic inch) Alessandro Anzani & Co., 60° (some sources state 55°) three-cylinder "fan"-type radial engine (or W-3) and a highly-efficient Hélice Intégrale Chauvière two-bladed fixed-pitch propeller, which had a diameter of 6 feet, 8 inches (2.032 meters). The Anzani W-3 was a direct-drive, right-hand tractor engine which produced 25 horsepower at 1,400 r.p.m. It was 1.130 meters (3 feet 8.49 inches) long, 1.500 meters (4 feet, 11.01 inches) high, and 0.720 meters (2 feet, 4.35 inches) wide. The engine weighed 66 kilograms (145.5 pounds).

Miss Quimby's airplane, though, was powered by a normally-aspirated, air-cooled, 7.983 liter (487.140-cubic-inch-displacement) Société des Moteurs Gnome Omega 7-cylinder rotary engine which produced 50 horsepower at 1,200 r.p.m. The direct-drive engine turned a two-bladed wooden propeller in a left-hand, pusher configuration. The Omega 7 is 79.2 centimeters (2 feet, 7.2 inches) long, 83.8 centimeters (2 feet, 9.0 inches) in diameter, and weighs 75.6 kilograms (166.7 pounds). The prototype of this engine is in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution National Air & Space Museum.
The Anzani-powered Blériot XI had a maximum speed of 76 kilometers per hour (47 miles per hour) and its service ceiling was 1,000 meters (3,281 feet).
Harriet Quimby, wearing her purple satin flying suit, pulls the Chauvière Intégrale propeller of the Blériot XI to start the air-cooled Anzani W3 ("fan" or "semi-radial") three-cylinder engine.

Increasing your repayments can take years off your mortgage and save you thousands in interest.
It will save you $18,847.66 and pay your mortgage off 1 year and 8 months earlier.
It will save you $35,456.75 and pay your mortgage off 3 years and 3 months earlier.
It will save you $73,435.78 and it will pay your mortgage off 6 years and 10 months earlier.
Your first home loan repayment will generally fall due one month after settlement. Making your first repayment on your settlement date reduces the principal before the first lot of interest accrues on the amount you have borrowed.
Both consistent and ad-hoc additional repayments such as bonuses and tax returns work to reduce the principal on your mortgage faster. The earlier in the loan term you begin making additional repayments, the greater the benefit in terms of time and money saved.
If your loan repayment amount is calculated monthly, you can make significant additional savings by halving your monthly repayments and paying fortnightly instead. This method will result in you paying an additional month's worth off your mortgage every year, reducing the principal faster and of course meaning you will pay less interest.
The easiest way to pay your loan off sooner is to find a lower rate than the one you currently have, but maintain (or even increase) the amount you pay each month.
Pay establishment fees, legal fees etc up front rather than capitalising them into your loan. This will save your thousands of dollars in interest over the loan term.
Reduce expenditure on vices and redirect the money into your home loan instead. Smoking, an after-work beer, morning coffee and that afternoon chocolate fix all add up over the course of the week. Add to that buying at least one lunch, breakfast or dinner a week and you could be putting more than $50 extra a week into your loan. That results in saving thousands!
When interest rates are falling, it may seem tempting to let your home loan repayments keep pace with the minimum required repayments and pocket the difference. Before doing this, consider that keeping your repayments at the old level will shave a significant portion of principle off your loan, particularly if rates continue to drop.
Reviewing your loan regularly will help you to assess its effectiveness and take steps to correct any waste if necessary.

Mark invited Matt and I to build a brand that creates opportunities for dialogue around mental health.
We started by creating a site on Tumblr where we all post on a weekly theme or question, and we open up the site to submissions from anyone who wants to share a story.
We share art and stories that break down the stigma around openly discussing mental health issues because it's nothing to be ashamed of, it's nothing to be afraid of, it's nothing to feel alone and isolated about.
Working on this personal project has been incredibly rewarding and a path of keeping myself healthy and happy.
Recently, we embarked on making a book with our favourite stories and posts from the site, and we added some new content, including interviews with amazing people.
We don't make any profit from the sales, it's just expensive to do print-on-demand. But, because we're all about making mental health more accessible and money is one of the biggest barriers we like to remove, you can also view and download a FREE pdf of The Brainly at this link: Download The Brainly for free and then you can just go and donate to Coast Mental Health on your own.

IFERI 'Inform' Factsheets
Anne Glennie: Scotland
Anne Glennie is a literacy consultant and trainer, author of Reflective Reading and Phonics Forever, and owner of The Learning Zoo. To date, she has trained over 7000 teachers across 600 schools and counting, in all aspects of literacy and assessment in Scotland.
A classroom teacher first and foremost, Anne provides training that delegates describe as 'fun', 'thought-provoking' and 'inspirational' – with an emphasis on the practicalities of teaching and learning in a primary classroom.
Anne graduated from the University of Glasgow with a Master of Arts in English Language and Literature. After her studies Anne lived in Paris for three years, where she worked at Disneyland Paris, met Michael Jackson and eventually learned to speak fluent French. Before embarking on her teacher training she had a successful career in sales, which included working with French corporate clients for Monster.com.
Through working with schools in Scotland, Anne discovered that many teachers had never been given any form of input or professional learning on how to teach reading, and, through no fault of their own, teachers lacked the pedagogical subject knowledge required to not only teach all children to read, but to enable them to evaluate the reading schemes and programmes that filled their cupboards. Determined to find the most effective way to teach children to read, based on research, rather than resources, Anne looked to the vast body of educational literature on the matter.
Anne describes reading Diane McGuinness's 'Early Reading Instruction' as a 'game-changer'. She was delighted to discover McGuinness's prototype – a clear and practical 'shopping list' of the necessary elements required to teach all children to read. However, she was also dismayed to realise that, despite the ground-breaking research carried out by Watson and Johnson in Clackmannanshire as part of their seven year longitudinal study in early reading, that many aspects of the prototype were absent in classrooms in Scotland.
It is highly ironic that one of the most widely cited studies into the efficacy of systematic synthetic phonics, which was hugely influential in changing thinking, practice and policy around the world, has failed to have the required impact in its own country. Teaching reading in Scotland is now entrenched in 'mixed methods', with 'sight words' and 'other strategies' being set in stone by the 'new' Curriculum for Excellence (full implementation from 2010). Many teachers, and those involved in education in Scotland, truly believe that this 'balanced' approach, which includes some phonics, is best for all learners. Unwittingly, in an attempt to cover all bases, the phonics practice that is in evidence, is undermined by the use of old reading schemes, sight words and guessing strategies.
Anne used to believe that 'there is more than one way to teach reading.' But through her study of research, evidence and leading-edge classroom practice – she changed her mind. Her mission now is to change everyone else's; the literacy skills and life chances of Scotland's children depend on it.
When Anne is not training or travelling, she can be found in the remote wilds of Scotland where she lives on the edge of the Atlantic on the Isle of Lewis, with her husband, two children, ten Hebridean sheep, eight alpacas and one Moomin (French Bulldog). She also shares her office with a giant stuffed giraffe called Jeffrey.

Don't blame it on the alcohol, blame it on the "Drunk History" production team.
A promo released this week of the upcoming season of "Drunk History" shows Bob Odenkirk's character blowing up records at Detroit's former baseball stadium to re-create Disco Demolition Night. Problem is, that stunt occurred in Comiskey Park on July 12, 1979.
A Comedy Central spokesman said the sign for Tiger Stadium featured in the promo will be changed to reflect that Disco Demolition Night took place in Chicago. Disc jockey Steve Dahl blew up disco records there between games of a doubleheader between the White Sox and Detroit Tigers. Fans rushed the field, and the Sox lost the second game by forfeit.
It would be easy to blame alcohol for the error. Confusion is common on the Comedy Central series because narrators drink heavily before recalling historical events.
Odenkirk "had tequila shots and vodka soda," series co-creator Derek Waters told the Los Angeles Times last month about the Chicago-area native, who doesn't drink. "It was really impressive. No, he did it for the show."

In A remark on chosen Speeches of Isaios, Brenda Griffith-Williams bargains a clean perception, obtainable to non-Greek readers, into 4 disputed inheritance circumstances from the Athenian courts within the 4th century B.C. the single entire English language statement on Isaios (Wyse, 1904) displays a unfavourable view of the Athenian felony method as one during which the judges, who had no felony education, might be simply outwitted by way of an unscrupulous speechwriter with out regard for the reality. via addressing the complicated interaction of actual, criminal, and rhetorical matters within the chosen speeches, Brenda Griffith-Williams identifies the strengths and weaknesses of every speaker's case and provides a extra balanced review of Isaios's paintings.

Galilee, Sea of
Treasury of Biblical Knowledge
Lake/Sea of, Galilee, Tiberias, Chinneroth, Gennesarath
Bridgeway Bible Dictionary
1910 New Catholic Dictionary
Galilee Sea of
(Matthew 4:18; 15:29 ), is mentioned in the Bible under three other names.
In the Old Testament it is called the "sea of Chinnereth" (Numbers 34:11; Joshua 12:3; 13:27 ), as is supposed from its harp-like shape. (2). The "lake of Gennesareth" once by (Luke 5:1 ), from the flat district lying on its west coast.
(John 6:1; 21:1 ) calls it the "sea of Tiberias" (q.v.). The modern Arabs retain this name, Bahr Tabariyeh.
This lake Isaiah 12 1/2 miles long, and from 4 to 7 1/2 broad. Its surface Isaiah 682 feet below the level of the Mediterranean. Its depth is from 80 to 160 feet. The Jordan enters it 10 1/2 miles below the southern extremity of the Huleh Lake, or about 26 1/2 miles from its source. In this distance of 26 1/2 miles there is a fall in the river of 1,682 feet, or of more than 60 feet to the mile. It Isaiah 27 miles east of the Mediterranean, and about 60 miles north-east of Jerusalem. It is of an oval shape, and abounds in fish.
Its present appearance is thus described: "The utter loneliness and absolute stillness of the scene are exceedingly impressive. It seems as if all nature had gone to rest, languishing under the scorching heat. How different it was in the days of our Lord! Then all was life and bustle along the shores; the cities and villages that thickly studded them resounded with the hum of a busy population; while from hill-side and corn-field came the cheerful cry of shepherd and ploughman. The lake, too, was dotted with dark fishing-boats and spangled with white sails. Now a mournful, solitary silence reigns over sea and shore. The cities are in ruins!"
This sea is chiefly of interest as associated with the public ministry of our Lord. Capernaum, "his own city" ( Matthew 9:1 ), stood on its shores. From among the fishermen who plied their calling on its waters he chose Peter and his brother Andrew, and James and John, to be disciples, and sent them forth to be "fishers of men" (Matthew 4:18,22; Mark 1:16-20; Luke 5 :: 1-11 ). He stilled its tempest, saying to the storm that swept over it, "Peace, be still" (Matthew 8:23-27; Mark 7:31-35 ); and here also he showed himself after his resurrection to his disciples (John 21 ).
"The Sea of Galilee is indeed the cradle of the gospel. The subterranean fires of nature prepared a lake basin, through which a river afterwards ran, keeping its waters always fresh. In this basin a vast quantity of shell-fish swarmed, and multiplied to such an extent that they formed the food of an extraordinary profusion of fish. The great variety and abundance of the fish in the lake attracted to its shores a larger and more varied population than existed elsewhere in Palestine, whereby this secluded district was brought into contact with all parts of the world. And this large and varied population, with access to all nations and countries, attracted the Lord Jesus, and induced him to make this spot the centre of his public ministry."

Syrian Army spy reveals coordinates of underground militant base: video
Tiger Forces tank in action against jihadist rebels in northwestern Hama: video
Home Syria US will take action in Syria again despite withdrawal
US will take action in Syria again despite withdrawal
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said President Donald Trump is willing to take action in Syria again but hopes he won't have to. It comes as the US prepares to withdraw troops, which Pompeo says will go ahead despite criticism.
Speaking in Cairo as part of a Middle East tour to reassure leaders that the US will maintain some sort of presence in the region, Pompeo declared that the US is still open to intervention in Syria, but he hoped that Trump "won't have to."
"When America retreats, chaos follows," Pompeo said. "America will not retreat until the terror fight is over."
Trump declared IS (Islamic State, formerly ISIS or ISIL) defeated and the US' mission in Syria accomplished in December, and announced that the roughly 2,000 US troops there would be brought home.
Withdrawing from foreign conflicts was one of Trump's key campaign promises, but the announcement nevertheless shocked much of the Washington establishment and media.
Even within the Trump administration, key officials sought to temper Trump's announcement.
National Security Adviser John Bolton said that the withdrawal would only occur after the US had drawn up a contingency plan with its allies in the region to protect Kurdish fighters in Syria from Turkish forces, and to contain Iranian influence in the war-stricken country.
Pompeo struck a similar tone on Thursday, declaring that the US will still carry out airstrikes in Syria as the need arises, and will not completely abandon the region until the "complete dismantling of the ISIS threat" is achieved.
ALSO READ UK begins using new F-35 stealth fighters in Syria and Iraq
Pompeo also promised continued airstrikes in Yemen, which has been pounded by US and Saudi strikes since 2015. He also declared that no foreign aid will be given to Syria until Iranian forces completely withdraw from the country.
Originally slated to take between 60 and 100 days, Trump's withdrawal from Syria could take slightly longer. Bolton said at the weekend that there was no set timetable for the pullout, noting that "the timetable flows from the policy decisions that we need to implement."
Several thousand IS fighters still remain active in Syria. The terror group has lost 98 percent of the territory it held at the height of its power in 2014, however. Whereas the group once claimed large swathes of Iraq and Syria, it now controls just a small pocket of the desert on the Iraqi/Syrian border.
Pompeo's choice of Cairo to deliver his address to the Muslim world at large is a symbolic one.
Former President Barack Obama also chose the Egyptian capital as the stage for his address to the region in 2009, when he took a more apologetic tone to Pompeo, apologizing for American intervention in the region and reaching out to the leaders of Iran for reconciliation.
In his speech, Pompeo declared the results of Obama's policies "disastrous," and said "the days of self-inflicted American shame are over."

When Is It Time To Hire A Marketing Agency?
That might sound like a loaded question. We're a marketing agency, after all. (And a really good one, if you'll pardon us for saying so!) When you want something done right, it's usually the best plan to hire someone who specializes in doing that thing — and doing it at a very high level.
However, we also understand that the decision to outsource your marketing must make sense for your particular business. Great business owners always consider how their resources should be best spent, and they regularly review those considerations as their businesses grow and evolve. When you decide to pull the trigger and bring in an expert depends on your expected return on investment.
Stagnant sales: You know there's a market for your product and service, and you're sure your customer service, sales team and pricing are stellar. If you're still not seeing a regular increase in sales, the problem could well be ineffective marketing.
A good marketing agency will offer an evaluation at no cost to you. (That's what we do!) At the very least, you should get a good idea of what avenues should pursue or strategies you need to refine.
You're not really doing any marketing: It's totally understandable if you don't find you have time to get around to marketing. You're busy fulfilling orders, paying the bills, putting out fires — taking care of immediate priorities. Unfortunately, that's also a recipe for disaster.
A company that doesn't market itself won't grow — or at least it won't grow nearly as quickly as it should. When you outsource your marketing, you're giving it the high priority it needs to be, while still letting you focus on what you do well.
You just don't like marketing: This one can't be understated. If you wanted to be a marketer, that's what you'd be doing. We get it. Marketing your business just isn't something you enjoy doing. Whenever you have to do it, you find yourself desperately wishing you could be working on something else.
Unfortunately, when you don't have your heart in your marketing approach, it's obvious to everyone. Uninspired emails and landing pages, a half-hearted approach to social media and advertising campaigns — it all sticks out like a sore thumb. A good agency enjoys what it does and invests your marketing campaign with the enthusiasm you need to succeed. The difference is incredible.
Something you're doing is working — but what? The good news is that you're seeing an increase in phone calls, new leads, and/or website traffic. The bad news is that you're not sure what prompted the good fortune.
We're not saying you should look a gift horse in the mouth, but if you don't know what's working for you, how are you going to sustain it or refine it? A good marketing agency can track exactly what's working and what isn't, letting you redistribute your resources from less successful strategies to the most successful ones.


It's time to let it go, Tyga!
Kyga called it quits earlier this year, allegedly because of the Kingin' With Tyga alum's financial situation.
"Kylie felt that Tyga was taking advantage of her [financially]. Basically, Kylie was bored with the relationship, she didn't feel like it was going anywhere and after 18-plus months Tyga still hadn't put a ring on it, so, you snooze, you lose… She's growing into a woman, and needed to make some changes in her life," a source previously revealed.
One of those changes was upgrading boyfriends, as the cosmetics mogul moved on with Travis Scott, 25. Life & Style reported last week that the hot new couple even got married already!
We bet she's too busy being happily in love to even worry about what Tyga says.

With two Broadway shows opening this week — "Gettin The Band Back Together" and "Pretty Woman" — it's hard to say we're in the Dog Days of August. Yet, these hot and humid days do encourage thoughts of the Dogg Days of October: See below for details about Snoop Dogg's theatrical debut in Brooklyn.

The Week in New York Theater Reviews
Be More Chill
To outsiders, "Be More Chill" is a hyper-energetic pop-rock musical opening tonight Off-Broadway, starring Will Roland ("Dear Evan Hansen") as a high school student named Jeremy Heere who sees himself as a loser but then swallows a pill containing a supercomputer and becomes cool.
Jeremy's journey is of course a sci-fi fantasy. But thanks to its fans, the odyssey of the musical itself is also fairly far out…You don't have to be 15 to be thrilled by the best moments in the Off-Broadway production of Be More Chill, a musical about high school, presented by a terrifically talented cast, that is too quirky and clever to be dismissed as the standard high school musical bestiary. But it might help to be a teenage fan in order to enjoy all two and a half hours of Be More Chill…
Be More Chill was extended a week through September 30 …and was sold out within nine hours of the announcement.
Shakespeare in the Theater at the Brick: Dreamers Often Lie
Dreamers Often Lie: Esaú Mora as Juliet
Shakespeare in the Theater" is the not-quite-clever title of a festival at the Brick Theater that presents itself as an alternative to New York summer staples, Shakespeare in the Park and Shakespeare in the Parking Lot. It's different because it takes place inside an air-conditioned theater, rather than outdoors, and, more importantly, because it offers new takes on the Bard's plays.
To get a taste of the festival, which runs through August 27th (see schedule below) I attended the first performance of the first of the eight productions. The hour-long show, produced by the Neon Nature theater company, is entitled "Dreamers Often Lie," which makes it different from any of the other adaptations in the festival: Writer Lukas Papenfusscline supplied his own title, rather than using Shakespeare's. Given what I witnessed, this seems an honorable choice.
Shame or the Doomsday Machine
For the 42nd summer in a row, the Theater for the New City's touring Street Theater Company is presenting an original show for free in the streets and parks throughout New York City. (see schedule below.)
This year's hour-long musical, "Shame! or The Doomsday Machine," presents a tuneful and anarchic mix of rock, rap, physics, politics, satire and vaudeville, featuring scenes as varied as a classroom in New York City, a Black Hole in the Universe, and Club Mad, 2000 feet below Mar-a-Lago (Trump's Florida estate,)

Trumpovy hodiny smrti (The Trump Death Clock) je velký billboard na Times Square v New York City, který zobrazuje počet mrtvých Američanů, které lze údajně přičíst na vrub prezidentu Donaldu Trumpovi a jeho neakci během pandemie covidu-19 ve Spojených státech amerických. Číslo odpovídá přibližně 60 % zemřelých v USA. Projekt vznikl v dubnu 2020 nejdříve jako webové stránky, později dostal podobu billboardu.
