Utah Grizzlies: A Wild One
Utah hit the road for the first time this regular season, facing off against familiar foes in the Idaho Steelheads. There were a few changes to the roster, as Gage Ausmus did not dress, and Joey Raats drew in for the first time this year, as did Josh Anderson.
The Grizzlies elected to go with nine forwards, with Raats lining up as the tenth forward or extra defenseman when necessary.
Utah got off to a quick start following the face-off, and kept the pedal down through the first five minutes, getting nine of the first ten shots, and Idaho not getting their first shot till pretty much the six minute mark.
The hard work paid off, and couldn't have happened to a better guy as Brendan Harms picked up his first of the year from Matt Berry to put the Grizz up 1-0 at 7:44.
Spencer Naas beat out Joe Cannata a few minutes later as the puck popped up into the air, and Naas batted it into the net before Utah's defense was able to locate it.
Utah's lethal power play struck about thirty seconds into a too many men minor, Josh Winquist scoring his third goal in three games from Cole Ully.
Ully took a penalty at 14:47, but Connor Chatham took a blatant holding call about thirty seconds in, though it ultimately came to nothing. At the end of the first shots were 17-6 for Utah, who maintained their 2-1 lead.
The Grizzlies came flying out of the gate, drawing a holding call 18 seconds in, but the power play struggled, allowing two really good looks. Cannata was sharp though, and remained so through the first half of the period when Idaho got three of the period's four shots.
Turner Ottenbreit and Eric Sweetman got into it at 11:18, Ottenbreit more or less tackling Sweetman to the ice, and no sooner had play recommenced than Utah got a power play. Ully once again made a terrific play, setting up Ryan Walters for his second of the year at 12:12. Teigan Zahn took a penalty on the shift after that, but Utah killed it off, Walters looking threatening two-on-one.
The two teams battled hard through the remainder of the period, but other than a huge Cannata save on a Chatham breakaway, and a drawn power play by Austin Carroll, the period came to an end without much ado.
The Grizzlies opened with 45 seconds of power play time, but the wheels fell off the bus, and Idaho drew within one short-handed after a lackadaisical defensive effort, then gave up another to tie it up less than two minutes in.
After the disastrous opening 1:16, Utah settled down, and Ully made it 4-1 with assists from Caleb Herbert and Winquist.
The game, now practically even in shots and goals, saw neither team able to sustain offensive zone time.
With four to go, Walters took an unfortunate delay of game penalty, and six seconds later, the Steelheads made it 4-4.
It looked like had Utah scored themselves out of trouble once again as Herbert added a goal to his two assists. However, with 1:35 to go, Idaho pulled Ryan Faragher, and Brad McClure scored with 43 seconds to go. The Grizzlies protested mightily, feeling that Chatham had interfered with Cannata, but though the refs gathered to discuss it, the goal stood.
Winquist, Carroll, and Taylor Richart began OT for Utah, and and ended it as well, as Carroll lost the puck to Joe Pendenza for the game winning goal.
Cole Ully has been terrific in all three games so far, but he was especially noticeable all game, picking up a goal and two big assists.
The power play just keeps clicking with two goals, with Herbert (4G, 4A), Winquist (3G, 3A), and Ully (1G, 4A) leading the way. Walters, also on the first power play unit, has two goals and three assists in the first three games as well. Utah's potent offense was almost enough to score themselves out of trouble.
Utah was absolutely dominant in the first period, and has now picked up five of a possible six standings points in the first three games.
After the first, Idaho took over, out-shooting Utah 24-9 in the last two periods. The Grizzlies were nearly able to hold on, but some sloppy defensive play ended up costing them.
Without doubt, the 1:16 to start the third was appalling.

Utah Grizzlies: Goals Return at Season's End
On the first night of the last home-stand, the Grizzlies faced the Kansas City Mavericks, for the first time this season. It was a bit of a preview of what will be a Mountain Division match up next year. At the beginning of the night, the Mavericks were chasing a playoff spot, but you wouldn't have guessed it from their early play.
"I think for the most part, I thought we played pretty well." Tim Branham said of the game, "For the most part, I thought we've controlled the last bunch of games, except the one Idaho game. But I thought the boys played well. We have a problem keeping the puck out of our net. I thought we've controlled the play for the majority of this last month, we've just got to keep that up. It's tough for these guys, I know they're professionals and whatnot, but they're pretty disappointed that they're not in the playoff hunt, so for them to go out there and play the way they did, against Colorado, the fights that they had, and to come out here and find a win in front of this unbelievable crowd, you've gotta give them props."
Through the first two periods, Utah out-worked, out-shot, out-hustled, and generally out-played the Mavericks, who also struggled to complete passes all game.
Brendan Harms got the game's first shot at 1:24, and the Grizzlies proceeded to get the next five shots as well, as they more or less had their way in the offensive zone.
Joel Rumpel was left alone in the Utah end, making his first save 3:19 into the period. That's the only one he saw until 8:14. There were no penalties, and very few whistles through the first half.
Ryan Walters rang the cross bar with eight minutes to go, and on the next shift, a really fast whistle robbed Sam Babintsev of what would probably have been a grade A chance.
In the end, it didn't matter, as Kyle Thomas wired one past Parsons at 13:08 from Michael Pelech and Travis Howe.
Unfortunately, despite all that zone time, and all the dominant game the Grizzlies played, the Mavericks tied it up at 18:44 with the primary assist going to C.J. Eick after a turn over, and a good bit of Kansas City passing.
Utah went right back to work, but the score remained tied at one after 20, shots 16-6 for the Grizzlies.
Utah drew a power play 19 seconds into the second, but a shot from Thomas was the best chance they got on the advantage.
Pelech took an elbowing call at 2:42, but they killed it off, allowing only one shot.
However, despite continuing to look like the better team, Kansas City scored at 6:18 to take the lead as Utah couldn't clear the zone. Once more, the Grizzlies went back to work.
Walters was hauled down about half-way through the period with no call, and Thomas racked up another couple of chances.
At 15:40, those chances paid off, and Thomas scored another on an absolutely sick backhand. Barely fifteen seconds later, on the very next shift, Matt Robertson beat Rumpel clean for their third goal.
With 56 seconds left in the second, Mitch Jones wired the puck at the net and missed, but James Melindy picked the puck up, and put it into the far corner past Tyler Parsons to tie it up again. So the teams went into the room tied once more, shots 23-16 for Utah.
The third got of to a wild start. Just 33 seconds in, Jake Marchment flew in, and scored his 17th of the year from Mitch Maxwell and Gage Ausmus. On the next shift, one of the Kansas City players put the puck into their own bench, hitting captain Tyler Elbrecht in the collarbone area. Fortunately, he ended up being ok. At 1:28 Brendan Harms blasted one in off the face-off. There was a little bit of a scare on that one too, as the puck went in off the throat or chest of Troy Donnay.
The goals kept coming, and Kansas City scored about a minute later, 5-4 Utah, and not even five minutes in. Utah got lucky a couple of times, as the Mavericks continued to have trouble completing passes.
The game calmed down a little after that, Maxwell taking a tripping penalty at 5:09, but thanks to big clears from Ausmus and James Melindy, the Grizzlies killed that one off without any change in score.
The Ryans got in two-on-one, but Parsons continued to make saves, making another one on the same two a few moments later, and then anther couple on Harms and Marchment.
At the half way mark, Rumpel went on a bit of an adventure, but made it back to the net in time to make a big save, which led to a two-on-one going the other way from Thomas and Pelech. Thomas went for the hat trick, but once again Parsons stopped it calmly.
Utah got a couple more chances on Parsons, but once again, it was Kansas City who scored, tying it up at 14:01. The goal came after an extended period of Mavericks pressure, who had woken up and finally seemed to remember that they were playing for their playoff lives. Eick got his second assist of the night on the marker.
Harms had a great shift, starting with a defensive play, and then ending with another scoring chance in the final five, and in true Grizzlies fashion, the game went to overtime for the 22nd time this season.
Unlike so many others, however, the Captain sealed the deal for Utah, and the 8,035 fans in attendance.
"I wouldn't say a little scoring slump," said Walters of his 12 game goal drought, "I'd say a pretty big one, probably the most in my career, actually, but it was a great win. It felt really nice to get that monkey off the back and score a goal for the team. We just want to play as hard as we can for the rest of the year. We've still got a job to do, and hopefully I can bring the same intensity tomorrow."
When asked about the last game of the year, he said, "Like I said, we've still got a job to do, we're still getting paid. Our fans have supported us all year, so we don't want to come out and just throw an egg on the ice. We want to play hard for them, and give them a good farewell for the season."
Branham's thoughts were the same. "I just want them to be professionals. Come out, play hard, we owe it to these fans. We didn't have the greatest record here at home, and that's been pretty disappointing, because they've come out and supported us. We just want to go out and make sure we give it all we got until they tell us we can't anymore. That's the only thing I'm looking for. If every one of my guys gives it their all, we're going to win. So I just want to focus on that."
Utah took all three stars of the game, Thomas with two goals and two assists, and Marchment and Melindy with a goal and an assist each. Their win eliminated the Mavericks from post-season contention, and they hope to end the regular season in style tonight.

Utah Grizzlies: For Auld Lang Syne
With the Eagles moving to the AHL next season, Wednesday night's game was Utah's last trip to the Budweiser Event Center, at least for now. And as ever, the game did not disappoint.
Brandon Wildung made his fourth career start in goal, while Travis Howe, Michael Pelech, Kyle Thomas, Gage Ausmus, and James Melindy rounded out the rest of the starting lineup. Brad Navin and Nate Mitton remained the scratches.
The Grizzlies came out hot to start the first, out-shooting Colorado 4-1 though the first four minutes, and getting especially good looks from Brendan and the Ryans.
By the half-way mark, Utah outshot the Eagles 7-3, though Colorado had gotten a little more by way of zone time. At 8:57, Jake Marto put the puck through Wildung to open the scoring.
At 12:55, Howe, Pelech, and Ben Storm tangled by the benches, and all three were sent off, the two Grizzlies with two each for roughing, and Storm with a double minor also for roughing. The Eagles continued to press after that, and after a big hit on Harms, Jake Marchment and Teigan Zahn dropped the gloves with about four to go.
Melindy took a slashing call with 1:43 to go, and at the end of 20, the score remained 1-0 for Colorado, shots 12-8 in Utah's favor.
About three into the second, the Grizzlies were incredibly sluggish coming back to defend an Eagles rush, and Brady Shaw made it 2-0. Utah continued to look slow, and though they continued to get shots, they didn't create much by way of traffic or rebounds.
Walters took a hooking call, and Joey Ratelle made it 3-0. Utah got a lengthy power play at 10:29, when Brady Shaw took a double minor for high-sticking. Sam Babintsev drew another power play, and the Grizzlies had about 1:20 on the five-on-three, which then went straight into another power play, as Collin Bowman took a roughing call on Howe with about five to go.
The Grizzlies weren't able to capitalize on either of the power plays, but Jake Marchment made it 3-1 at 17:24 to put Utah on the board.
When the buzzer went at the end of the second, the score remained 3-1, shots 24-15 for the Grizzlies.
Unfortunately, if you leave Ryan Olsen all alone with a rebound, he's not going to miss from a couple of feet away from the net, and he made it 4-1 at 1:22.
Howe, Sam Windle, Gabriel Verpaelst, and Storm all dropped the gloves at 5:29. When the dust cleared, the four of them had picked up a whopping 54 penalty minutes Howe got a misconduct, while Verpaelst and Windle both got game misconducts.
Harms cut the lead in half at 7:20 from Graaskamp and Pelech, finally capitalizing on one of his multitude of great chances.
Misiak drew a hooking call at 11:58, and Mitch Maxwell did not miss by much on the ensuing power play, and Harms followed that up with a nice look of his own. However, when Colorado returned to full strength, the Grizzlies still trailed by two.
With three minutes to go, Utah pulled Wildung for the extra attacker, and Richart made a big save. In the end, though, Olsen scored into the empty net with about a minute left, and the Eagles took the final meeting in Loveland 5-2.
I once said that when the Grizzlies and the Eagles played, you might fear for the Grizzlies' lives, but you'd never be bored. While this year Colorado left fewer Utah injuries in their wake, the games were no less exciting, and with one exception, as painfully close as ever. It's been a fantastic rivalry, and a chapter we're sorry to see closed.
As the Eagles move up and on, the Grizzlies return home to meet the Kansas City Mavericks, where they will end the season against next year's division opponents.
Best of luck to the @ColoradoEagles as they move on to the playoffs, and up to the AHL. We'll miss the good times at the Ranch, and one of the best rivalries in the league! #SometimesTerrifying #NeverBoring

Utah Grizzlies: Howe Sweet is Victory
When your fighter is a fight away from a Gordie Howe hat trick and doesn't get it because he's too busy being a scoring forward, you know it was an extraordinary night.
"I am proud to be their coach" Tim Branham said after the game. "It was a little worrisome there in the first five minutes, but I thought everyone settled in and held in the five shots in the first, seven in the second. I mean, that team can play, so they're going to get some scoring chances there in the third. I thought we played extremely well five on five the entire weekend. Thought we deserved a better fate on Wednesday. Friday could have went either way, it is what it is. Power to the boys, battled back hard, in front of an awesome crowd, obviously our fans are the best in the league. We deserved this. We got some help around the league as well, so four points out, we just gotta keep it going."
While the night ended with a certain feeling of triumph, it certainly did not start that way.
The first couple of shifts were promising. Utah got off the mark strong, and in the second shift or so, Mitch Jones threw the puck at the net almost from the goal line, and Ryan Misiak nearly put it past Lukas Hafner. Travis Howe drew a tripping call behind the Eagles' net, but Ryan Olsen flew in, and even though Mitch Maxwell got back in time, Olsen made it 1-0 short-handed.
Things continued to look pretty bleak for a while after that as well. When the Eagles returned to full strength, Ryan Siiro beat Brandon Wildung on a cross crease pass from Jake Marto. 2-0 at 4:40, and it looked like the game was teetering on the verge of a blow out.
But whatever the Grizzlies issues may be, or have been, this season, they have never given up easily.
Misiak got boarded at 8:16, and the Grizzlies drew another power play. This one ended without mishap as the team got their feet under them.
At 12:52 Maxwell made it 2-1, freezing Hafner, and roofing it for his second goal in as many nights from Howe and Jake Marchment, cutting the lead in half. Utah then killed off a Michael Pelech tripping called a minute later.
The third line continued to absolutely shine, and at 17:49, Maxwell shot the puck on net. Marchment collared the rebound on the edge of the blue paint, and sent it cross-crease to Howe who scored his third of the season to tie it up.
Jones and Brady Shaw took matching minors for cross-checking and embellishment respectively at 19:02, and at the end of 20 the Grizzlies headed into the room tied 2-2, shots 13-5 in their favor. They never looked back.
The second opened with what should have been about a minute of four-on-four, but instead was twenty seconds of four-on-four before Pelech took a tripping call to put the Grizzlies down four-on-three. The team fought hard though, allowing only two shots on the short-handed situation. Misiak flew in with a short-handed look during that time, but continued to be plagued by bad luck, and Hafner turned it aside.
Utah drew another power play as Marchment got roughed, and after the whistle, a crowed gathered, which resulted in Jones and Joey Ratelle both getting five for fighting as well.
Brendan and the Ryans continued to be outrageously snakebitten, as all three converged on Hafner, but were unable to beat him. Howe also got a glorious opportunity for a second goal, but was denied as well.
With 13:53 to go, Drayson Bowman got two for slashing, and Utah went to yet another power play. Utah continued to put together their best period of hockey this weekend. Pelech spun and fired a great shot on Hafner, and so did Mitton, But the Eagles returned to full strength with no change in score, and Howe leveled Ben Storm right as the Eagles were whistled off side.
The Grizzlies continued to roll with a vengeance, playing stellar defense, getting sticks down in lanes, crowding puck-carriers off the puck, and spending long shifts in the offensive zone. Nate Mitton flew around absolutely fearlessly laying hits on Matt Register and Teigan Zahn, and then helping generate scoring chances left right and center.
With just eight seconds to go, Ryan Walters took a tripping call, but after 40, the Grizzlies had out worked and out-shot Colorado to the tune of 24-12.
Utah killed off the Walters penalty, allowing only one shot on the opening advantage. Colorado played for several minutes in the offensive zone, before the Grizzlies got on their horse, and responded with a couple of great shifts from some newish lines, one centered by Brad Navin with Misiak and Pelech, the other by Walters with Harms and Thomas.
It was the later line that put the crowning touch on the game. Brendan Harms electrified the 9,288 fans in attendance by making it 3-2 at 9:54 finally capitalizing on some lengthy Utah dominance.
Neal Goff took a roughing call against Thomas 11:36 into the third, and Hafner had to be helped off the ice after his skate blade broke. He came back a couple of shifts later, however, and the Eagles killed off the penalty.
Colorado bore down, but the Grizzlies fought them off, forcing players like Olsen to rush back and play defense against former line-mates in Walters and Harms.
With 1:30 to go, the Eagles pulled Hafner for the extra skater. The Grizzlies twice grazed the outer netting of the empty net, and when the final buzzer went, they were the victors.
Harms' five shots led the team, and his goal stood up as the game winner. He was named a well deserved first star of the game, Wildung got second star, and Howe the third with his second professional multi-point night in the last six games. Maxwell easily could have been a star as well, like Howe netting a goal and an assist, and picking up his third point in the last two games.
"We battled hard this weekend. That's a good team right there, that team works hard." Branham said of Colorado. "There is a reason why they are defending champs, and doing so well the way that they are. We are going to take a couple days and rest, spend some time with the Booster Club tomorrow. Rest up for a couple days and get back out there on Tuesday, prepare for Idaho. We play well against Idaho, we play well in Idaho. Can't take that for granted, we have to make sure that we come ready to play. They're a good team as well."
Unsurprisingly, he had nothing but praise for Howe. "He's been amazing. Absolutely amazing. Played a regular shift tonight. The way he's blocking shots, and getting pucks out, and playing defence, and producing. I don't know how many points he has recently, it's a lot. It's great. He's got a lot of space out there because no one wants to go around him. But, he's using it to his advantage. He's an unbelievable force in our dressing room as well, as well as in the community. Really happy for him. He's come a long way, and I'm really, really happy for him."
Howe himself was just happy to have helped the team, and quick with praise for his line-mates. "Really realistically, anything I can do to help the team out, and tonight I just happened to get put in a situation where I was able to put up a couple of points…and playing with Marchment, Maxwell those are unbelievable hockey players, so it just makes the game so much easier. I haven't got a Gordie yet and I was hoping to get one tonight but as long as you got the win that's really all that matters."
Thanks to regulation losses by Allen and Tulsa, Utah trails the former by four points, and the later by two in the push for the final spot.
"Yeah, I mean, the other teams lose it's huge." Howe said of the outcome of those games, "But at the same time, we're just focusing on us right now. Chipping away, trying to win every game, get as many points as we can to climb the ladder, and hopefully we get that last playoff spot."
There isn't a lot of time left, but as every sports fan knows, it ain't over till it's over, and as every Grizzlies' fan knows, this team isn't going down without a fight.

Utah Grizzlies: Keep Your Friends Close…
With Taylor Richart out, and Chris Leibinger no longer with the team, the Grizzlies went with five defensemen, eleven forwards, and scratched Charley Graaskamp in favor of Nate Mitton. Joel Rumpel got the start behind some very different looking lines.
"I thought that was a fun game." Tim Branham said after the game. "That was a good hockey game full of lots of mistakes, that's for sure. Our power play's hurting us, that's for sure. But you've got to give credit too, they have one of the best kills in the league, so obviously if we could have taken advantage on the power play, or had we not gotten scored on on the power play, either one it's a different story. But that's a good hockey club, and I'm proud of the way our boys — I thought we came out really flat, they scored that first goal, it was like we were standing still, then we took it to them hard."
That first goal came 1:05 in, when the Utah defense failed to pick up Joey Ratelle.
About five minutes four minutes later, Drayson Bowman and Travis Howe both got two for roughing, but the resulting four-on-four saw no change of score, or shots.
At 3:51 Howe and Teigan Zahn squared off at center ice and duked it out in a battle of heavyweights to the great delight of all 7,074 fans in attendance. It was a fairly even fight, but Howe got the last punch. Both got five, and on the very next shift, a sprawling Kyle Thomas poked the puck past Joe Cannata to tie the game.
Brad Navin took a hooking call at 9:06, but Ryan Olsen took an offensive zone slashing call about a minute later, and the teams played four-on-four, before a Utah power play.
Jake Marchment just narrowly missed tipping in a shot from Sam Babintsev, but the Eagles returned to full strength with no change in score, though the Grizzlies had taken over the shot lead.
With 3:08 to go, Ryan Misiak was boarded, and headed straight for the locker room, though he ended up not missing a shift. Ratelle got two for boarding.
With just over two to go, all nine guys tangled after a whistle, resulting not so much in a line brawl as a line tussle. James Melindy and Ben Storm were both sent off to the locker rooms.
However, with 46 seconds to go, and the Eagles back at full strength, the Grizzlies coughed up the puck at Colorado's blue line, and Ratelle made it 2-1.
At the end of the second, Utah trailed 2-1, despite out-shooting the Eagles 16-7.
The Grizzlies came out hot to start the second, Brendan Harms' shot whistling just over the cross bar, and then Utah drew a power play at 1:06 as a Utah player was hauled down in front of the Eagles' net.
They put up six shots on the advantage, including several as Cannata was down, but didn't have the puck covered.
The third line caused all sorts of chaos around the net at around the four minute mark, and Maxwell got dinged for roughing after he gave Olsen a couple of extra shoves.
Gage Ausmus took a hooking call 25 seconds later, but the Grizzlies killed it off, and Melindy sprang Mitch Maxwell straight from the box to tie the game all alone short-handed.
The chippy game continued, and at with half the period to go, Thomas and Gabriel Verpaelst had to be separated.
Walters was tripped up at 13:08, and Utah went to the power play. They got some zone time, but the biggest play was a short-handed breakaway that Rob Mann just barely got back in time to muddle, and Rumpel made a great save.
The play continued, fairly free flowing and continuous through the end of the period, and with 2:41 to go, the Eagles took a cross-checking minor.
At that point, however, the Eagles went the other way, and Gabriel Verpaelst beat Rumpel glove-side to make it 3-2 short handed.
With a couple of seconds left on the power play, Navin took a tripping call, and the Grizzlies ended the second on the kill, out-shooting the Eagles 33-20, but trailing 3-2.
Utah opened the third with 1:17 of penalty kill time, but they kept the Eagles chasing the puck back into their own zone for most of the whole of the disadvantage.
Michael Pelech took a tripping penalty of his own at 5:21, but the Grizzlies killed that one off too. The most dangerous opportunity went to Olsen, who danced into the offensive zone, was leveled by Melindy, got the puck back, and then had Rumpel calmly glove down his shot.
Unfortunately, Ratelle capped off his hat trick with 9:04 to go. Things looked a little bleak for the next few minutes, but the Grizzlies weren't done just yet. At 13:25, Harms capitalized on a gorgeous shot, putting the Grizzlies within one, before drawing a power play on the next shift. The advantage accomplished nothing.
Although the teams went four-on-four at 16:44 after Thomas and Brady Shaw got sent off after a tangle by the benches, and Utah went on the four-on-three for a minute before pulling Rumpel for the extra skater, they were unable to tie it up.
Despite the loss, it was a fun game, and the Grizzlies put up another good fight. The difference, once again, being a defensive lapse or two. As per usual, games against the Eagles are never boring.
Thomas got the third star of the game, and he and Harms both led the team with five shots each. Having put up 42 total shots on Cannata (whose .933 SV% leads the league), all but two Grizzlies registered shots.
"The shots were 26-11 at one point," Branham said. "You can't play much better than that. We missed a few key opportunities, I mean, they have an NHL goaltender. They have a goaltender that doesn't belong in this league, they're lucky, but it is what is. I thought we did a great job, I thought they played a much better third period, first half of the third period, and then we kind of took it to them from then on, but it was a good hockey game, to be honest. We're a couple of players away from beating a team like that, unfortunately. You've got to give them credit, they battled hard for sure."
And they did it without Richart, who has, over the course of the season, developed into the best defenseman on the team, relied upon in all situations.
"There's definitely still hope. Definitely losing Taylor in the last two games — he got hurt early last game — really hurts us, as far as power play, match-ups, things of that nature, it is what it is. The team, they still believe. There are six games left, and the teams that we're chasing have some tough schedules. We're never going to quit. That's for sure."
Getting those two points against the Eagles is a matter of taking care of their own game first.
"They're a great team,"Brendan Harms said, "So everything you give them they take advantage of. They're very opportunistic, so I think we've just got to shut it down defensively, be a little better in our own zone, take away what we're giving them."
Utah will hope to put all that into action on Military Night this Saturday (tonight) when they once again face Colorado for the penultimate time this season.

Families come in all kinds of combinations but it can be a really upsetting, confusing and stressful time when relationships between family members break down.
If there are disagreements or arguments, this can make home life really tough which can impact on you feel, how you cope at school/college and even whether you want to hang out with friends.
Lots of young people worry about their parents/carers and siblings during a separation or when there are arguments. It can also be really hard if your parents separate and one of them meets a new partner.
When families experience a separation or a big change it can take a while for all family members to understand, process and adjust to these changes.
There is no right or wrong way to feel, think or behave; everyone processes change differently. Some days you may feel more able to cope than other days.
It is important to be kind to yourself and aware that some family members may struggle more than others with the changes.
If you are struggling to cope with life at home please let someone know so that they can support you.

TRYING TO RESTORe THE VALUE OF SOCIETY'S FAVORITE ART FORM
Musical Genre: What is it? Do we need it?
I've been thinking a lot lately about the term "genre" as it is applied to music. It seems as though somewhere in the last 20 years or so, someone just randomly decided to re-define the term, and the rest of the world just went along with it. I suddenly feel myself sounding like an old person wagging my finger on the front porch, saying, "Back in my day…" but in any case, the meaning of the term has definitely shifted.
If one were to look in any music textbook to find a definition of genre, they would encounter something like this: "Types of musical composition." (Burkholder, Grout, Palisca. A History of Western Music 8th ed., NY: Norton, 2010, p. 7.) Taken from the book sitting right on my desk… So, granted "type of composition" is vague, but the term was intended to refer to the structural, stylistic, and performance characteristics that differentiate musical objects, such as the opera and the symphony, etc.
What is generally understood as genre today is, in fact, musical style, "A characteristic way of treating the musical elements." (Kamien. Music: An Appreciation, 6th brief ed. Boston: McGraw-Hill, 2008, p. 56). So, while something like jazz is a style, a song in that style is a genre.
So, when did these terms get confused and why? I suspect it happened with the birth of iTunes. "Style" seemed too vague to describe the distinctions between, say, country and blues, and "genre" is a fancy word. Look up genre, and the standard definition leaves enough space to use, and boom! A term is forever bastardized.
And yet, it would seem that many have adopted this misusage. I quick ran a search for "music genre" on Amazon, to see what kind of books were adopting the wrong use of the term. Once I got over my astonishment at getting over 72,000 hits, I realized that Amazon groups printed music by genre (using the established definition of the term), but there were still numerous scholarly books on popular and non-Western music that used the word "genre" to mean "style."
I suppose part of the problem is the lack of distinction among actual genres in popular music. A popular song is pretty much a popular song, i.e. a relatively short work, recorded for commercial purposes in a non-art music style (that's my definition, for those of you keeping score).
So, what difference does it make? Well, I, for one, think it is important to use terminology correctly, and as such, I spend much of my professional life correcting students about the improper use of the word genre.
The really sad thing about all of this is that there are some really fascinating topics regarding musical style that would be fun to discuss, if not for the constant threat of someone bringing up "the g word" and ruining my day…
I find it really funny how obsessed listeners and artists get about picking apart the differences between one style and the next. The example I use in class a lot are to play examples of "Norwegian Death Metal" compared to "Swedish Black Metal." Seriously? Can anyone hear a difference? And yet, if you bring this up to a die-hard fan of either sub-sub style, they'll go to the ends of the earth defining the differences between these two styles.
With that in mind, if we return to the definition of style for a moment, the term implies that some combination of musical characteristics should not only hold together music of a specific style, but that this grouping if characteristics should make it different from other styles, right? For example, the way music sounds are combined in bluegrass set it apart from the combinations heard in hip-hop.
How does that apply to a style like emo? I can honestly say I've listened to huge amounts of emo music, but, given what I have heard, I can honestly say that I don't hear a lot of unifying musical characteristics, but rather what brings this style together seems to be more based on lyrical content. And, as I find myself saying at least a million times a year, lyrics are not a musical element. In fact, looking to the internet for a definition of the word emo, I find, "a style [yay!] of rock music characterized by expressive, often confessional lyrics." Uh-huh….
Suffice it to say, I find the whole issue somewhat confusing… and incredibly frustrating when the terminology I teach students gets distorted into something else. I can see why it has happened, and I've been guilty of misusing "genre" myself, but I can't help but wonder why such a big deal is made about musical style.
It almost strikes me a musical stereotyping to place a collection of distinct, individual works under s single heading. Sure, it makes cataloging easier. It helps with searches. But, on one hand, we have artists who seem to eschew the notion of genre/style all together – like the hipsters who claim "my music has its own style," and on the other, like in the ridiculous case of Norwegian death metal, artists who label their music to the point of absurdity. There are also plenty of artists who blend styles together into strange and often fascinating fusion styles. Does style even mean anything anymore?
Came across this article by looking stuff up about the appeal people find in joining/forming groups based on the kind of music they listen to. Though not entirely relevant, this was still really interesting to read! Personally, I define "Musical Genre" the same way I would with different kinds of films. If I fancied listening to some funk, for example, I'd look through anything labelled 'Funk/Disco/Soul'. In that respects, I think it helps when you're trying to find something with a specific sound. However, I can see the flip side in this as such categorising can often lead to people refusing to listen to anything outside of their preferred genre. I remember going through a phase of only listening to punk and hard rock music in my early teens and I was so reluctant to listen to anything else. It wasn't until I started college some years later to study music that I had to listen to other styles of music and I actually came to appreciate a lot of it. The dangerous thing with the concept of genres, I find, is that often you will get bands that don't cater exclusively to that kind of music and have a very broad style that a lot more people would appreciate if given the chance.

As birth professionals, we are often cautioned against sharing our personal stories. We must remember that it is her birth and her story, not ours. In doula and childbirth educator trainings, trainees are taught to keep their own stories to themselves and to present evidence-based information so that women can make their own informed choices. As a breastfeeding counselor too, I must remind myself to keep my own personal experiences out of the helping relationship. My formal education is in clinical social work and in that field as well we are indoctrinated to guard against inappropriate self-disclosure in a client-helper setting. In each environment, we are taught how to be good listeners without clouding the exchange with our own "baggage." The messages are powerful—keep your own stories out of it. Recently, I have been wondering how this caution might impact our real-life connections with women?

Blood. As women we have a complex relationship with blood. The sight of our red-stained underwear can elate us, relieve us, annoy us, embarrass us, disappoint us, or devastate us depending on our life stage and intentions. The arrival of our period can bring the sweetest relief when we dread becoming pregnant. Conversely, it can lower the cruelest blow when our efforts to conceive have not been successful and we deeply long for a child. And somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, is the unfortunate experience of finding yourself ill-prepared for Aunt Flow in a public location…thank goodness for kind friends (or total strangers) who provide emergency tampons in such situations.
I have been thinking about blood a lot because I just had a terrifying, violent, and heartbreaking experience with my own blood. That sounds so hokey to say, that I "had an experience with my blood." But I did. It was me and my blood. Doing battle. So much blood. There was no one else.
Three words. It only took me three words to tell you, friend, acquaintance, or stranger, what happened to me. I wonder how many more words it will take to tell myself — the MAMA, the bearer of lost life — what happened.

Miscarriage stories often bring up the question of "when to tell" about pregnancies, with mothers lamenting that they told "too soon," OR wishing that they had told, so they wouldn't have to bear the loss with such aloneness. I retain enough scars from pregnancy loss, despite my successful pregnancy-after-loss experience too, that my initial reaction to anyone's new pregnancy announcement is always fear, not joy. I worry every time I see a Facebook announcement that I will then see a sad follow-up a couple of weeks later—my main thought being, "what if she has to look back on this and be so sad?" However, that does not mean I think she shouldn't tell, I just hold such hope in my heart for her that she doesn't end up entering the club too.
I'm angry that we live in a world where talking about miscarriage and first trimester pregnancy is still taboo. Where a woman must go to great lengths to hide her fatigue, nausea, sudden diet changes and pain, both emotional and physical, just to be polite.
Staying quiet for 12 weeks while you grow a human being inside of you is nothing short of completely insane.
Thanks in large part to social media, people have no problem opening up about personal details to those they might not have shared with in the past. The curtain of privacy has been pulled back, yet this one life-changing event remains shrouded until you reach a certain threshold.
I respect any woman's decision to keep her pregnancy or miscarriage a secret, but I don't think we should feel ashamed if we decide to share the news with whomever we choose, whenever we choose.
Take a look around you. Chances are, if you're sitting in a room with five women of childbearing age, one of them has had (or will have) a miscarriage. And if you're one of them, don't be afraid to open up. You just might find comfort in the arms of a nurse, in the knowing nod of a trusted friend, or in kind words of an Internet stranger — the war stories of unlikely heroes.

This was when I understood: Thor was our baby. He did not belong to the hospital. He did not belong to the funeral home. He was ours.
So began my life with Thor. Thor pulled me to him like a magnet. I craved him. I never thought he was real, if by real you mean alive or in some way sentient after death. I just wanted to be with him. Not with him in spirit. With him in body.
I'd carried his body inside me for nine months; I'd felt it kicking for the last five or six of them. That body had forced its way out of me early in the morning of Nov. 12, 2008, and along the way it had turned from a living body to a dead body, but it was still Thor. Why should the body that was Thor transmogrify from a beloved member of the family, from a familiar part of my own body, into a repellent object just because it had died? This was my child.

I have a folder on my computer called "1st Pregnancy" and it is full of things that still make me sad. Pictures of my growing belly, a video of us telling our family the news that we were pregnant, this story, and the pictures we took from the miscarriage that happened one year ago today. I am a student of traditional midwifery, so my take on the experience, and the details I share may be different than most miscarriage stories. It is really long, really honest, and really raw, but I wanted to share it in its entirety, both to honor my experience, to share it with others that are going through similar stories themselves, and for those that support women (friends or clients) that are experiencing a pregnancy loss. This story was written in the days after the miscarriage, and I am thankful that I took the time and energy to put it all down. I hope that this story can serve as a resource for women going through pregnancy and baby losses, and that we at Indie Birth can provide support for these experiences as well.

While it might be hard to see everything, I chose the bridge to symbolize my feeling of having crossed the bridge to the "other side"—meaning first the fact that after Noah and my second miscarriage, I felt separated from women who had not experienced loss by a bridge and as if I'd crossed over into new territory and left my old, happy, naive pregnant self behind (along with the other non-loss mamas. A little more about this bridge here). AND, that I also felt like with Alaina's birth that I crossed a bridge into the unknown and to the end of the pregnancy-after-loss journey. Her birth represented the "other side" of PAL. So, at the end of the bridge I drew a question mark in the sand, representing all the questions I had to get past and over in order to get to my new baby.

Then she turned her attention to me and assured me in front of the other women in the room, "It's okay if you hate me. I understand." I was stunned and mortified.

Sarcopenia & Diabetes: Untangling the Connections
By Jamie Santa Cruz
Muscle loss is a significant quality-of-life issue for patients with diabetes.
Diabetes is extremely common in the older adult population, affecting more than one-quarter of Americans aged 65 and older.1 It's increasingly recognized that individuals with type 2 diabetes—who comprise the vast majority of all diabetes cases—are vulnerable to sarcopenia—excessive age-related muscle loss. Although muscle loss can begin in persons with diabetes even at younger ages, it's of particular concern among older adults.
"People with diabetes are living longer now, which is incredibly exciting," says Rita Kalyani, MD, MHS, an associate professor of medicine in the division of endocrinology, diabetes, and metabolism at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. But "it's important to recognize [the potential for accelerated muscle loss] because it can significantly impact quality of life for people with diabetes and also mortality."
Muscle loss is natural with advancing age. It is routine for individuals to lose 3% to 8% of their muscle mass per decade beginning at age 30, and the rate of decline is even higher after the about age 60.2 Muscle strength declines even more rapidly—at a rate of 3% to 4% per year in men and 2.5% to 3% per year in women by the age of 75.3
While some muscle loss is typical, sarcopenia refers to a condition of accelerated muscle loss. Earlier definitions of sarcopenia focused exclusively on loss of muscle mass as the key determinant of the condition, but more recent definitions have recognized that muscle strength and function are equally important for predicting adverse outcomes.4-6 Thus, newer definitions for sarcopenia have included low walking speed and grip strength alongside low muscle mass.5 Sarcopenia is associated with an increased risk of falls, functional decline, frailty, and mortality.7
How Strong Is the Connection Between Diabetes and Sarcopenia?
The link between diabetes and sarcopenia is well established. In a study of 810 Korean adults, 15.7% of participants with diabetes were found to have sarcopenia, compared with just 6.9% of participants without diabetes.8 A later study led by the same author, also in Korea, produced similar findings: in a sample of 414 adults aged 65 or older, participants with type 2 diabetes had significantly lower muscle mass (defined as appendicular mass/height) than did those without diabetes.9 A link between low muscle mass and diabetes has been found in several other populations as well.5,10
Multiple studies have also linked diabetes to reduced muscle strength. In a cross-sectional investigation of 1,391 adults aged 60 to 70 years from the Hertfordshire (UK) cohort study, men newly diagnosed with diabetes had significantly lower grip strength than did those without diabetes.11 The effect sizes were smaller in women, but the trend was the same for both genders. Similarly, among 1,840 participants aged 70 to 79 years in the Health, Aging, and Body Composition study, subjects with type 2 diabetes showed a greater loss of both muscle mass and a greater loss of leg strength and leg muscle quality (though not arm strength/quality) over three years, compared with those without diabetes.12 These declines were attenuated after adjustment for demographics, body composition, physical activity, and other factors, but the association remained significant.
The association between sarcopenia and diabetes has led some researchers to argue that sarcopenia is probably one of the underlying mechanisms that explains the reduced functional ability and mobility that is often seen in older patients with type 2 diabetes.13
Mechanisms: How Diabetes Contributes to Sarcopenia
While diabetes accelerates the process of muscle loss, the mechanisms aren't yet thoroughly understood. "There are probably multiple underlying pathways linking the observational findings that we see between type 2 diabetes and accelerated loss of muscle," Kalyani says.
The presence of insulin resistance, which is the key feature of type 2 diabetes, appears to be a major pathway. "Insulin resistance is associated with decreased protein synthesis in the muscle," Kalyani says. One of the key roles of insulin is to drive nutrients (ie, glucose) from the blood into skeletal muscle tissue and stimulate protein synthesis. In type 2 diabetes, however, insulin signaling is impaired; insulin is not able to effectively drive glucose into the muscle tissue, and the muscle cannot synthesize new protein rapidly enough to keep pace with natural muscle degradation.13
Insulin resistance is linked not only to decreased protein synthesis but also to mitochondrial dysfunction. Individuals with diabetes frequently have decreased mitochondrial function, which again appears to contribute to the impairment of muscle function (possibly in part because these mitochondrial alterations may increase insulin resistance).5
Diabetes can also promote sarcopenia via peripheral neuropathy. Approximately 30% to 50% of diabetes mellitus patients experience peripheral neuropathy, and the condition has been shown to be an independent risk factor for sarcopenia in individuals with diabetes.14 "Nerves are needed to help the muscles contract properly," says John Morley, MD, a professor of medicine in the division of geriatric medicine at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine. "My leg muscles are almost certainly contracting as I sit here. If I've got some degree of neuropathy, I won't get the same amount of contraction."
Still other factors also may play a role in causing muscle loss in the context of diabetes. People with diabetes frequently have higher than normal levels of inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor and interleukin 6. Such cytokines have been shown to have negative impacts on both muscle mass and strength in older adults.15 In addition, "people with diabetes are also more likely to have hypothyroidism, and people with hypothyroidism get a myopathy of the legs as well," Morley says. "So you should always be thinking, if you see a diabetic who's lost a lot of muscle, 'Could this be due to something else, like low thyroid'?"
Thus, a wide variety of factors likely contribute to the connection between diabetes and sarcopenia. Some data suggest that these varying mechanisms come into play even in individuals who are comparatively young or who are comparatively early in the disease process. Kalyani and her colleagues examined a group of 984 participants from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging and found that loss of muscle function as a result of hyperglycemia was seen in some patients who were only in their 40s. Interestingly, peripheral neuropathy appeared to be a contributing factor. Also of note in this investigation is the fact that hyperglycemia affected muscle strength and quality even for patients with blood glucose levels in the prediabetes range.16
A Bidirectional Association: How Muscle Loss Can Lead to Diabetes
Until recently, scholarly attention on the connection between diabetes and sarcopenia has focused on diabetes as a cause of sarcopenia. "Clinically the direction that we think about most is accelerated muscle loss being a complication of diabetes—that people who have diabetes develop accelerated muscle loss over time," Kalyani says. "But it's possible that the reverse direction is also true."
Kalyani herself explored this hypothesis in a recent study of 1,855 US adults (baseline mean age of 58.9 years). She and her colleagues found that men—though not women—who had a higher percentage of total or leg lean body mass had a lower risk of developing diabetes over the seven-year average follow-up period, even after adjusting for race.17 The findings are in line with a previous study of young and middle-aged Korean adults (median age of 39 years at baseline) showing that individuals in the lowest quartile of relative muscle mass had a two-fold higher risk of developing diabetes than did those in the highest quartile over an average of nearly three years of follow up.18
According to Kalyani, the findings make sense. "Skeletal muscle is the main site of glucose uptake in the body after we eat," accounting for about 80% of glucose clearance in a healthy individual. "So if we don't have enough skeletal muscle, then the glucose is not taken up by the body, and it stays in the blood. As a result, your glucose levels are higher, and over time that could lead to the development of diabetes," Kalyani says.
A recent review on the bidirectional relationship between diabetes and sarcopenia supports Kalyani's hypothesis, arguing that loss of skeletal muscle mass and function is both a cause and a consequence of diabetes. As for how muscle loss can cause diabetes, the review supports Kalyani's assertion that muscle loss results in a diminished target for insulin, altering glucose regulation. But the review also notes another mechanism by which muscle loss can lead to diabetes—namely, it can contribute to a decreased metabolic rate and a decrease in physical activity, which can cause inter- and intramuscular adipose tissue accumulation, in turn leading to insulin resistance.19
One of the difficulties associated with type 2 diabetes is that the disease doesn't necessarily produce obvious symptoms in the early stages, meaning that some patients may not be diagnosed until after they have already developed cardiovascular problems.
However, the recognition that loss of muscle strength predicts risk of diabetes has led to new possibilities for diagnosing type 2 diabetes in its earlier stages. A recent study led by researchers at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, used data from more than 5,000 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys to identify specific cut points of handgrip strength that take into account age, sex, and body weight and that indicate the presence of type 2 diabetes in adults that appear otherwise healthy.20 According to the authors, these cut points can be a useful screening tool for identifying diabetes at earlier stages and getting patients into treatment sooner.
The Role of Blood-Glucose Management in Preventing Muscle Loss
The growing body of research on the connection between diabetes and sarcopenia has raised an important question: Does lowering blood glucose help preserve muscle mass?
According to Morley, there's little research on that question, but diabetes medications that control blood glucose levels likely do have a role to play in treating (and preventing) muscle loss among older adults with diabetes. "If you're using something like metformin or the gliptins, those improve insulin resistance. Improving insulin resistance will allow you to get more nutrients into your muscle tissue."
The question of whether lowering blood glucose helps prevent sarcopenia is relevant because most clinical practice guidelines for older adults with diabetes recommend less aggressive glucose control as people get older. "The older adult population is heterogenous—there are some people who have long life expectancy, some have greater life expectancy, some are at greater risk for polypharmacy or hypoglycemia," Kalyani says. "So in general glucose targets for older adults are not as strict as they are for younger adults."
Unfortunately, Kalyani says, it's possible that these relaxed targets may exacerbate muscle loss in vulnerable older adults. Key clinical trials on which clinical management guidelines for blood glucose have been based haven't usually included older adults, so there's no way to know at present. According to Kalyani, future research is needed to better understand the effects of glucose-lowering on muscle mass in older adults.
While diabetes medications may have a role to play in lowering blood glucose and in staving off muscle loss, Morley is adamant that no medication is as beneficial for treating sarcopenia as physical exercise. "The major treatment is resistance exercise," Morley says. "You can argue that aerobic exercise is also useful, but if you're going to do anything as a diabetic, you want to do resistance exercise to build your muscle bulk." For older adults with sarcopenia, the key exercises he recommends are walking around the block four to five times, doing some weight lifting, and sitting in a chair and getting up ten times in a row as fast as possible.
Kalyani agrees on the importance of activity. "Physical exercise is always recommended," in part to promote fat loss and maintain muscle mass, both of which can improve glucose levels. Those recommendations apply equally to both younger and older adults, she says. "As long as they can tolerate the exercise they are doing, we definitely recommend that, particularly muscle strengthening exercise and resistance activity."
Recommendations for Clinicians
• Take seriously the fact that patients with type 2 diabetes are vulnerable to muscle loss. "Accelerated muscle loss is an underappreciated condition that occurs in people with type 2 diabetes. I don't think it's well recognized," Kalyani says. One reason for the under-recognition, she says, is that most providers who treat diabetes aren't geriatricians and thus aren't as likely to be familiar with age-related muscle loss and how it can affect mobility. "It needs to be better recognized in clinical practice that this occurs at greater frequency in people with diabetes," she says.
• Screen all individuals with diabetes for sarcopenia. Everyone aged 50 or older should also be screened, even if they don't have diabetes, Morley says. "You can argue, 'Well, I don't really need to do that, I just need to get them out exercising, and they'll do well,' but people don't do well if you don't give them a diagnosis."
As for a specific screening tool, Morley recommends SARC-F. This screen contains five questions that focus on a patients' ability to lift and carry 10 pounds, their ease in walking across a room, their ease in rising from a chair, their ability to climb a flight of stairs, and the number of falls they have had in the last year. The questionnaire and scoring instructions are available at cgakit.com/sarc-f-questionnaire.
• Spend time making sure patients understand the importance of exercise. "Every clinician knows that diabetics should exercise and exercise is good for them," Morley says. "Realistically, every diabetic should be in an exercise program. It should be covered by medical insurance, because that's by far the best treatment for diabetes, period." The problem, according to Morley, is that physicians often recommend exercise without driving home how thoroughly important it is. "[We need to] stress that this is more important than the drug."

The difference between "peel" and "peal"
June 9, 2020 / Erin Servais	/ 2 Comments
What's the difference between peel and peal? Peel can be used as both a noun and a verb, and peal can be used as a noun. It's easy to get these two words confused, so read this post to learn the difference.
peel (verb): to strip off an outer layer of
Example: Lawrence peeled the skin off of his apple.
peel (noun): the skin or rind of a fruit
Example: Becky threw her potato peels in the trash.
peal (noun): 1) the loud ringing of bells; 2) a loud sound or succession of sounds
Examples: 1) Gina heard the peal of the church bells from across town.
2) Ryan let out peals of laughter at his buddy's lunchroom antics.
Peel comes from the Latin word pilare, which means to remove the hair from. It came into English in the thirteenth century.
Peal is short for appeal, which in Middle English meant a summons to church service. It came into the English language in the fourteenth century.
Fill in the blanks with either peel or peal. The answers are below.
Grace slipped on a banana _______ and broke her nose.
2. Stan grew excited when he heard the _______ of the day's last school bell.
3. Grandma _______ed eight pears for the pie.

How to Remember Breathe vs. Breath
April 14, 2020 / Erin Servais	/ Leave a comment
Mixing up breathe and breath is a really common error. Luckily, there's an easy way to remember the difference between the verb and the noun.
If you are doing the action (verb) of taking in and letting out air, then use breathe with an E at the end.
If you are referring to the thing (noun) that you are taking in and letting out, use breath—no E at the end.
To remember the difference, think about the letter E at the end of breathe. Then remember that the word verb has an E, but the word noun doesn't.
So breathe = verb.

Here are some sample sentences:
Martin was thankful he could breathe deeply when he recovered from his cold.
Francis took a deep breath before he jumped in the pool.
Test your skills with a quiz. Fill in either breathe or breath in the blanks. The answers are at the bottom.
1. Fish ________ in water.
2. Marcy hated her boss because he had bad _______.
3. Do you think there are aliens who _______ something other than oxygen?
4. The doctors put Uncle George on a respirator because he couldn't _______ well on his own.
5. Sally couldn't take a good _______ because the air was filled with smoke.
1. breathe 2. breath 3. breathe 4. breathe 5. breath.

Is It Whose or Who's?
December 10, 2019 February 18, 2020 / Erin Servais	/ Leave a comment
Whooo will know the difference between "whose" and "who's" after reading this post? You will!
The rules of when to use whose and when to use who's are simple, but they can be difficult to remember because they seem to violate how apostrophes usually work. Don't worry—we'll teach you a trick to remember the difference whose and who's in this post.
While words ending with an apostrophe and an S (i.e., the man's car) are usually possessive, in the case of whose vs. who's, whose is actually the possessive form.
Whose is a possessive adjective, which means it describes who owns something.
Who's is a contraction of either who is or who has.
How to remember the difference
A good way to tell whether you should use whose or who's is to substitute who is or who has in their place. If the sentence makes sense with this substitution, then you should use who's. If it doesn't, then you should go with whose. Here are some examples:
Whoa. Math.
"Who's the best at math?"
This sentence uses who's because you can substitute who is. "Who is the best at math?" still makes sense.
"Whose math homework is this?"
This sentence uses whose because it doesn't make sense when you substitute who is and get "Who is math homework is this?" Whose, in this case, is asking who the math homework belongs to.
Whose vs. who's seems complicated, but once you know the rules, it's easy to tell when to use which. Who's got the power to tell the difference between whose and who's? You do!

What Is the Plural of "No" and "Yes"?
November 12, 2019 February 18, 2020 / Erin Servais	/ 5 Comments
Wondering how to spell the plural of no and yes? The answer may not be what you think.
The plural of no is noes.
The vote got thirteen noes.
How many noes will I get before I get a yes?
I heard noes from both candidates
The plural of yes is yeses.
The vote got thirteen yeses.
The yeses outnumbered the noes.
Three yeses later, and the idea is becoming a reality.
Note: Sometimes there is more than one correct way to spell a word. (Yes, I know. I see your jaw dropping.) This is true with yes. Merriam-Webster says you can also spell yeses as yesses and noes as nos.
Example: Yesses are often better than nos.
Apostrophes and plurals
You may see them spelled as no's and yes's. This is incorrect. Remember: apostrophes are almost never used to make plurals.

The BMW New Class of automobiles are considered as adorable boxy premiums. It was a generation of automobiles produced around 1962 and 1977 that has spawned the BMW 2002, which is treated as a must-have for the loyal BMW patrons. The New Class cars consists of models that include the 1500, 1600, 1800 and 2000 models- the last of which gave us the coveted 2002.
2002's powerful 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine and its lightweight features proved to be irresistible to many car enthusiasts. Moreover, it's difficult to find these cars in good shape because there's intense competition in getting the amazing models. The so-so models will require plenty of modifications to be considered at par.
Now, the American comedian Jay Leno has brought this modded 2000 beauty in his garage. This particular BMW 2002 was made by the Bavarian Workshop, and the automobile was built for a certain customer who preferred to see their father's car restored back to its former glory. The automobile was not driven for many years, but nevertheless was in a good shape. This made it the perfect candidate to be modified.
Marc Norris, the main builder, boosted the horsepower you will see from the stock engine and installed a more contemporary 2.3 L 4-cylinder engine that is reminiscent from a 1989 E30 M3. A 5-speed manual transmission replaces the 4-speed and aids the automobile to keep the revs to a minimum at highway speeds. Norris also installed 2002 Turbo fender flares that cover 16 inch wheels with some great wide rubber for the purpose of producing extra power. Also he added a strut brace and put on 5-lug wheels and Wilwood brakes.
But not everything is smooth sailing, as Norris and Leno didn't agree on the new stainless steel exhaust. When the BMW 2002 is running, the note is considerably meek, but once Leno will get on the throttle, the exhaust will belt out a roar. Norris suggested that a resonator will be a good choice to not let the exhaust roar that much, but Leno strongly disagreed with Norris' recommendation.
Not all parts have been modified, thankfully. Norris did not change the stock instrument panel in place, however he added altered seats from a 320i covered in nappa leather and finished out the trunk. But the M2 badge might not be everyone's cup of tea, though. The American comedian made a rather good argument on why this modded 2002 is the perfect example of a restomod. Per routine, the comedian takes a car for a cruise and we only assume he is having a grand time. With increased power that is combined with the decreased weight of the legendary car, this just has to be an awesome ride.


Made by Humans, for Humans.
We'll explore Cylon's architecture, from the top down.
The Master Control Program is responsible for coordinating everything else inside Cylon. It manages adding new Robots, and starting/stopping both Robots and the API.
It is also used to set and fetch configuration for Cylon internals.
Cylon.js uses a simple plug-in system for API modules. This gives several advantages, like a smaller file size for the base cylon module if you do not need the API. It also allows you to only use the interfaces you actually need.
For example, the cylon-api-http plugin offers a RESTful HTTP interface, along with server-sent events that can be used to subscribe to device events.
Another API plugin cylon-api-socketio supports an interface for clients based on the popular socket.io module.
All API plugins interface directly with the MCP to fetch robots and information about them. They are also capable of executing commands on Robots and Devices.
A Cylon robot is a collection of devices and connections, with the necessary glue to allow them to coordinate together. A User will instantiate one or more robots through the MCP, and either start them all simultaneously or individually. Robots can also have custom commands (to coordinate multiple devices/connections) and can communicate with each other through the MCP.
Devices and Connections are an abstraction layer over drivers and adaptors, respectively. These allow for a layer of indirection between Drivers/Adaptors and the Robot itself, and ensure the interfaces can remain consistent.
Drivers and Adaptors are the meat of Cylon, and allow Cylon to communicate with devices and services, and issue commands/receive events from them. These are implemented as part of Cylon submodules (cylon-sphero, etc), and are platform specific.
Adaptors are in charge of connecting to platforms, no matter the medium. For example, the cylon-sphero Adaptor class communicates over Bluetooth, while the cylon-leapmotion Adaptor talks to a WebSocket server.
The Adaptor classes ensure that the Drivers are able to directly communicate with the connected platform.
Drivers, meanwhile, are used to issue commands and handle events for platforms. For example, a Servo driver knows all the necessary commands to tell a Servo to turn to a certain angle. The Driver has no knowledge of how to connect to the Servo, it trusts the Adaptor to do that and have a consistent interface.
Due to the abstraction level provided by Devices and Connections, adding new hardware support for Cylon is as easy as writing a basic NPM module with Cylon as a dependency. For more information about writing new Cylon modules, check out our documentation on Adding New Hardware Support.
