Supporting local charities and community causes
Shanly Foundation pledges life-changing support for new Thames Hospice
We are delighted to announce that we have donated an incredible £400,000 to fund the Day Therapy Suite at the new Thames Hospice site currently under construction by Bray Lake. The new centre will support thousands of patients and families every year for generations to come.
To mark the occasion, Thames Hospice Chief Executive and Tamra Booth and Tim Potter, Shanly Foundation Trustees, laid the very first brick at the new hospice site on Tuesday 28th May.
The Shanly Foundation has been a loyal supporter of Thames Hospice for over 17 years, donating more than £125,000 and the lead sponsor of our much-loved Santa Dash event for many years.
Debbie Raven, Chief Executive, Thames Hospice, said: "We are enormously excited and hugely grateful for the generosity of the Shanly Foundation in making our dream become a reality. This dedicated space will allow us to double our day service provision meaning we can, for the first time, offer support sessions specifically for younger adults and carers desperately needing a break.
"The Shanly Foundation's donation will make a difference to thousands of local families every year who urgently need to access our support and care."
The Day Therapy Suite will also offer a wider range of therapeutic and social activities for day patients and inpatients including music and art therapy, and complementary therapies such as massage and acupuncture.
Tamra Booth, Trustee, Shanly Foundation, said: "We're delighted that, in our 50th year, we were able to give our largest donation ever given by the Shanly Foundation to Thames Hospice. We have been in discussions with the hospice team for a considerable time regarding their plans for the new hospice and we are thrilled that the monies will be used to pay for an essential Day Therapy Suite".

Protecting our marine life
National Marine Month 2019
October is National Marine Month, and it is the perfect time to share your commitment in protecting our oceans and, It also serves to remind us of our marine heritage that is a source of employment and recreational opportunities for all of us.
A healthy ocean is very important to all life on earth. Billions of people depend on the ocean for their livelihoods and as a source of food. We depend on the oceans for clean air and most of the oxygen we breathe. You do not need to live next to the ocean to benefit from it.
More than 70% of the earth is covered by oceans. This might seem like an inexhaustible resource but unfortunately human impact on the oceans are threatening their sustainability. Humans have overfished, polluted and carelessly abused and destroyed life in the oceans.
Destroying our oceans doesn't only threaten marine habitats and species but also our own health, economy and security.
According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), 80% of pollution in the ocean comes from land based activities. The plastic items we use and the sewage we create ends up in our oceans and harm the delicate ecosystems that lives in our waters.
Together, we need to create public awareness of the state of our oceans and coastal environments in order to promote sustainable use and conservation for the benefit of present and future generations.
What is threatening our oceans?
According to the WWF the biggest threat to oceans includes:
Garbage and plastic. This includes plastic bags, balloons, glass bottles, shoes and packaging material that are not disposed of properly. Plastic litter, which decomposes very slowly, is often mistaken for food by marine animals. This litter can also come back to shore, where it pollutes beaches and other coastal habitats.
Untreated sewage flows.
Toxic chemicals from illegal dumping.
Fertilizer runoff from farms and lawns is a huge problem for coastal areas as it creates more algae which cut off the oxygen supply to marine animals.
Oil spills, many of which come from run off from drains.
What we can do to ensure the health of our oceans:
Reduce our plastic consumption. The most frequently collected items during beach clean-ups are made of plastic. Rather purchase reusable shopping bags, water bottles and utensils, which also save you money in the long term.
Make informed seafood choices. Keep a copy of the sustainable seafood guide with you. This guide indicates which species are green, orange or red according to their vulnerability.
Green means you can buy these species legally,
Orange means that the species is vulnerable or threatened, and
Red means that these species numbers have collapsed and it's therefore illegal to buy, sell and consume that species.
Get rid of chemicals correctly. Never pour chemicals, pharmaceuticals, oil or paint into the drain or toilets. Check with your municipality's household hazardous waste programme to properly dispose or recycle chemicals and keep them out of rivers and oceans.
Choose environmentally friendly detergents and household cleaners or make your own. Besides being better for your own health, these products are safer for the environment since what goes down the drain can end up in our oceans.
Find out about the practices of your beachside retreat. Before you stay in a hotel on the coast, ask staff what happens to their sewage and swimming pool water, and if they source their restaurant fish from sustainable sources.
Find out the source of your food. Buying local, organic food reduces your carbon footprint, supports the local economy and reduces the amount of pesticides and fertilisers that end up, not only in your stomach, but as run-off in rivers and oceans, too.
Plant indigenous plant species in your garden. Reducing the amount of grass for your lawn by planting indigenous shrubs and flower beds will provide a better habitat for birds and other wildlife and will require far less water and fertiliser, which can seep into the oceans.
Keep your beach visit clean. When visiting the beach, stay off fragile sand dunes, take your trash with you and don't disturb or remove plants, birds and wildlife so that others can enjoy these treasures too.
Oceans are also the primary producer of moisture in the atmosphere which in turn produces, plays a critical role in shaping the socio-economic activities in South Africa and the Western Cape agriculture sector in particular.
Why should we care about our oceans?
Oceans play an important role in our existence on this planet:
generates most of the oxygen we breathe,
helps feed us,
regulates our climate,
is the primary producer of moisture to the atmosphere, which leads to rain,
cleans the water we drink, and
global trade is dominated by sea transport.
How can we optimise these opportunities?
The oceans are a vast natural resource and as a developing country, we need to make use of the ocean's resources sustainably while considering the following:
The fishing industry is of great socio-economic importance in the Western Cape. It creates income for small-scale fishermen, and provides food and income for subsistence fishing communities.
Larger fishing companies also fish in the surrounding waters of the Western Cape, which contributes to the local economy. The Western Cape also relies on the state of its pristine beaches and coastline to encourage and sustain our flourishing tourism industry.
We need to ensure that fishing doesn't exploit fish stocks.
We need to make sure that our coastlines are free of pollution.
Find out which species of fish are okay to consume by checking the Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative (SASSI) list.
Facts about our ocean
South Africa is nestled between 2 different ocean currents:
The warm Agulhas current is rich in ocean biodiversity, but doesn't contain large fish stocks.
The cold Benguela current supports large fisheries such as those focused on anchovy and sardine (the small pelagic) and the hake (demersal) stocks.
These currents, in addition to the cold southern oceans, are key drivers of South African climate and rainfall conditions.
South Africa's marine big 5
Our big 5 land animals (the lion, rhino, elephant, leopard and buffalo) are well known, but do you know which animals are part of our marine big five?
The marine big 5 is:
the Cape fur seal,
the African penguin,
the dolphin,
the humpback whale, and
The South African National Fish
The galjoen is the national fish of South Africa. It belongs to a family of fish that can only be found off our coastline. It is currently endangered due to overfishing.
South African Hope Spots
According to the Sustainable Seas Trust (SST), Hope Spots are special conservation areas that are critical to the health of the ocean.
Networks of Hope Spots maintain biodiversity, provide a carbon sink, generate life-giving oxygen, preserve critical habitat and allow low-impact activities like ecotourism to thrive. They're good for the ocean, which means they're good for us.
Read more about why South Africa's Hope Spots are so unique.
Let's clean up our beaches this Marine Month
This Marine Month, use the opportunity to make a difference and take part in the Cape Town Beach Clean-up, an initiative that gets volunteers together every first Saturday of the month to clean up our beaches. By cleaning up our beaches we ensure that plastic, and other waste, doesn't end up in our oceans, and it ensures that we, and our fellow citizens, can continue to enjoy our beaches.

At the request of KUAZ, the Tucson, AZ NPR radio station, award-winning author Jeffrey J. Mariotte penned a short story to be read on the air, supplemented with music and sound effects. The result was "Long Road Home," a story set during the holiday season, with themes of love, loss, and longing that resonate even more strongly at that time of year.
The story is only 1200 words (since it was meant to be read aloud, as part of a holiday show)--hence the low, low price. The e-book includes a link to listen to or download the audio version.
Fans of the Twilight Zone and slightly unsettling but realistic fiction will enjoy "Long Road Home."

Falcon College offers education for all. We take in a diverse group of young people, from the academically gifted to those with learning difficulties. We cater for high flyers – as seen with the 2014 Head Boy, Stephen Bhasera, who attained 2 A* and 1 A at A level. His Geography result was the best in the world and he received an award from Cambridge for this outstanding achievement. We have boys who only achieved 4 IGCSE level passes but left the College with 3 AS level and 2 A level passes.
Falcon offers courses to students in areas that interest them. The introduction of the City and Guilds programme, the HEXCO syllabus and courses developed at the College means that our students leave with a good set of life skills and are prepared for the move past school.
We work really hard to ensure that every pupil who leaves the College has a plan in place for their future.


Yesterday, President Donald Trump announced a new round of tariffs on Chinese goods — $200 billion to be exact. In response, China issued a $60 billion levy on U.S. goods. In an increasingly global economy, prospects for a trade war with China tend to foster nervousness among investors.
Many companies depend on lower-cost raw materials and cheap labor to provide affordably priced goods. Hence, when this trade war began at the beginning of the year, the market fell into correction territory.
The U.S. market has mostly recovered from this slump. A prolonged war and the sustained higher costs that go with it would likely reduce revenue, sales, profits, and ultimately, employment and stock prices. Even with an overall negative effect, some stocks operate largely independent of these forces.
After spending years in a challenging competitive position, AT&T (NYSE:T) appears to have innovated its way into an ideal situation for both itself and its investors. Years of struggles have placed its valuation at low levels. Now, its pricey, extensive 5G wireless network is about to begin yielding revenue. Only three companies (or possibly four if Sprint (NYSE:S) remains independent) will offer such a service.
While I could make many of the same arguments for Verizon (NYSE:VZ) or T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS), financials make T stock stand out. AT&T trades at a forward price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of 9.6. Regarding growth, analysts predict a 15.1% rise in net income for the year. Over the next five years, they predict that growth will average of 6.2%. However, that could go higher as we find out what capabilities 5G brings about that are not possible in the current 4G wireless environment.
It also offers a dividend yield of over 5.9%, more than triple the S&P 500 average of 1.9%. Because of its so-called "dividend aristocrat" status, breaking its decades-long record of dividend increases would devastate the stock. For this reason, investors can likely expect another dividend increase in December.
Best of all, these benefits will take place within the confines of the U.S., minimizing the effects of any trade war. With the low PE, the high dividend, and domestic focus of T stock, AT&T finds itself in a stable position regardless of how long any trade war persists.
In a challenged economy, small luxuries such as a refreshing adult beverage carry people through in harder times. As such, Constellation (NYSE:STZ) owns many of the more popular brands sold in the U.S. It also derives more than 90% of its revenue from the U.S., so a trade war with China hurts the company little in that regard.
Its forward price-earnings (P/E) of 22.2 will probably neither attract nor put off investors. One might say the same thing about the 1.4% dividend yield. However, dividends have more than doubled since 2015. In the last year alone, the company hiked the annual dividend from $1.96 to $2.96 per share. Maintaining that pattern of significant dividend increases should draw investors over time. Also, its growth deserves attention. Profits have grown by an average of 27% over the last five years. Wall Street expects that net income will rise by an average of 12% per year over the same period.
One of the growth drivers will likely come from marijuana. As legalization looms in Canada and grows increasingly likely in the U.S., Constellation's investment in Canada-based Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC) appears more visionary. Our deteriorating trade relationship with Canada could reduce the potential benefits of this relationship.
With or without a trade war, this gives the company a leg up in bringing cannabis-infused products to the market. With its increasing profit growth and its lead on marijuana-infused products, I see STZ stock performing well whether or not this trade war continues.
Dollar General (NYSE:DG) has proven in past years that it can achieve double-digit growth in good times and in bad. Despite low unemployment rates and higher levels of disposable income, the store's low prices still resonate with customers. That appeal would probably intensify in the event of a trade war. A combination of tight-fisted and unemployed customers attracted to Dollar General's low prices will continue pushing profits higher.
I also like this stock better than its main peer for two reasons. One, since Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:DLTR) acquired Family Dollar, DG stock has become the leader in profit growth. Moreover, unlike Dollar Tree, Dollar General has not tied itself to the $1 price point. Finding products that can be sold profitably at $1 will become more difficult without the help of Chinese imports. Such a move would play further into Dollar General's hands.
If predicted profits of $6.10 per share come to pass, the stock will trade at a forward PE of 17.8. This comes in at a reasonable level, especially considering the expected growth of 33.5% for this year. Over the next five years, analysts forecast 15.1% net income growth per year.
To be sure, retailing has become a difficult business. However, the last year has proven that customers still want to shop in stores. Also, if a trade war makes Dollar Tree's $1 price point more difficult to maintain, Dollar General will make market share gains. These factors should keep customers coming to Dollar General with or without a trade war.
People wanting a low-cost flight to another domestic destination can look at Spirit (NYSE:SAVE). The ultra-low-fare airline has attracted investor interest with its high-growth and rate of profitability on low margins. In an industry notorious for losing money, this stands as an impressive feat.
Its peer Southwest (NYSE:LUV) became popular by bringing much lower fares and much higher passenger counts to the airports it served. This became known as the "Southwest Effect." Spirit has explored a second, smaller plane type to serve often-neglected midsize markets. Such a move could bring this same effect to places such as Fargo, North Dakota or Augusta, Georgia. A need to focus on domestic expansion could force the airline into this decision.
Moreover, its foreign markets have not become the focus of the U.S. trade war. Yes, Spirit's expansion has focused on Latin America, particularly South America recently. However, the recent trade agreement with Mexico bodes well for improved trade relations in the region. Moreover, the airline has shown no inclination to expand to Asia. Some trade-related danger looms because the company depends on Netherlands-based Airbus (OTCMKTS:EADSF) for its airplanes. However, that could also motivate the company to go into mid-size markets with smaller planes.
Furthermore, SAVE stock has performed well. As a result, the stock has risen by almost 50% over the last 12 months. A need to increase pilot pay temporarily halted profit growth.
However, analysts predict 28.4% profit growth next year. Its PE of 14.5 might not compare well to airline peers, but it still lags the overall market. Still, the profit increases, and by extension, the stock price growth, should continue with or regardless of a trade war.
Perhaps no other company would see more of a direct benefit from a trade war than U.S. Steel (NYSE:X). The proclamation by Hyman Roth in The Godfather Part II that "we're bigger than U.S. Steel" does not command the same level of respect today. Foreign steel imports have decimated this industry over the last few decades. Once the largest company in the world, its market cap now comes in at only about $5 billion.
However, tariffs could bring some level of recovery. With the Trump Administration imposing 25% tariffs on steel imports, producing steel within the U.S. suddenly becomes cost-effective again. Also, its forward P/E ratio of about 5 could attract investors in this new growth environment. Thanks to tariffs, analysts forecast profit growth of over 200% this year. That will amount to a one-time bump. Still, the 2019 growth rate of 5.1% exceeds the average growth rate of 3.5% the company saw before the tariffs.
I do not predict that X stock will reclaim its "world's largest company" title. Nor do I think the products that no longer use steel will switch back to the material. However, steel remains an essential component of many products.
Furthermore, I think a renewed belief in this industry could take the P/E ratio at least into the teens. Investors should also remember that a raw materials boom took X stock to a high of $196 per share before the financial crisis. Hence, it could go much higher than the below $30 per share level where it trades today. Whatever the catalyst, X stock should remain a safe bet as long as the 25% tariff remains in place.

ALBANY – The Dirty Tricks Scandal took a new twist yesterday as one of Gov. Spitzer's top Democratic allies was caught secretly plotting to sic the IRS on Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno.
Senate Minority Leader Malcolm Smith of Queens sent three Democratic senators copies of a proposed letter seeking an Internal Revenue Service probe of Bruno's potential income-tax liability for alleged personal use of state aircraft.
But one copy mistakenly wound up in the hands of a Bruno political ally.
Smith told The Post that it was his staff, not he personally, who sought to unleash the IRS on Bruno by sending the letter. He conceded that aides to Spitzer also were involved.
"This was one of the things the staff people were looking at in terms of our strategic plans," said Smith, noting his aides "were definitely talking" to Spitzer's advisers about the attack on Bruno.
But Smith insisted, "I shut it down" when he was asked to approve the letter to the IRS, insisting that members of his staff had distributed the letter without his approval.
The letter, which was supposed to go only to Sens. Liz Krueger of Manhattan and John Sampson and Velmanette Montgomery of Brooklyn, carries the signatures of all three Democratic lawmakers and is addressed to Linda Stiff, acting commissioner of the IRS.
"We are writing to call to your attention [to] possible violations of the Internal Revenue Code and implementing regulations involving Sen. Joseph Bruno, the Majority Leader of the New York State Senate and his use of New York State aircraft," says the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Post.
It goes on to cite newspaper stories involving the Dirty Tricks Scandal in which top Spitzer aides used the State Police to gather information on Bruno purportedly showing that he had improperly used a state helicopter for political, and not governmental, purposes.
"We urge you to conduct a review into Sen. Bruno's use of the aircraft and his obligation to pay federal income taxes on the fair market value of the unreimbursed non-official portion of his travel," the letter continues.
The letter, with copies "cc'd" to the state tax and finance commissioner, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, and Manhattan and Albany District Attorneys Robert Morgenthau and David Soares, makes no mention of Cuomo's explosive July 23 report on the scandal, which found aides to Spitzer plotted against Bruno and found that Bruno had done nothing wrong.

One of the basic conditions to learn is motivation. Thus it is essential for learning environments to motivate the students to proceed into the learning process. Several researches propose the inclusion of new technological trends, such as the Gamification, to engage the users. In this paper the solution adopted in UBICARE system, where the Gamification approach has been used for training and learning purposes, is presented. The Gamification was used in the simulation of clinical cases aimed to both empower the patients to adopt healthy life-style and train the medical and paramedical staff about diagnostic procedures, therapeutic interventions and follow-up of patients. In particular, the paper presents the trainer interaction that is useful in order to keep the system up to date over time and to allow the definition of clinical cases tailored on the basis of users' needs.

Study suggests impact of climate change on agriculture may be underestimated
One of the most critical questions surrounding climate change is how it might affect the food supply for a growing global population. A new study by researchers from Brown and Tufts universities suggests that researchers have been overlooking how two key human responses to climate - how much land people choose to farm, and the number of crops they plant - will impact food production in the future.
The study, published in Nature Climate Change, focused on the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, an emerging global breadbasket that as of 2013 supplied 10 per cent of the world's soybeans. The researchers used variations in temperature and precipitation across the state over an eight-year period to estimate the sensitivity of the region's agricultural production to climate change. Those historical comparisons can help in making predictions about the sensitivity of agriculture to future climate change.
The study found that, if the patterns from 2002 to 2008 hold in the future, an increase in average temperature in Mato Grosso of just 1 degree Celsius will lead to a nine to 13 per cent reduction in overall production of soy and corn. ''This is worrisome given that the temperature in the study region is predicted to rise by as much as 2 degrees by midcentury under the range of plausible greenhouse gas emissions scenarios,'' said Avery Cohn, aassistant professor of environment and resource policy at Tufts, who led the work while he was a visiting researcher at Brown.
But the study's broader implications stem from the mechanisms behind the changes in agricultural output. Most studies of this kind look only at the extent to which climate shocks affect crop yield - the amount of product harvested from a given unit of agricultural land. But by only looking at that single variable, researchers can miss critical dynamics that can affect overall output, says Leah VanWey, professor of sociology at Brown and senior deputy director of the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society (IBES).
''If you look at yields alone, you're not looking at all of the information because there are economic and social changes going on as well,'' said VanWey, one of the study's senior authors. ''You're not taking into account farmers' reactions to climate shocks.''
For example, farmers may react to decreasing yields by putting less land area into production because it's simply not profitable. Farmers may also vary the number of crops they plant in a growing season. Double cropping-the planting of two successive crops in the same field in the same growing season-is common in Mato Grosso. If the weather is bad, farmers may alter their decision to plant a second crop.
For this new study, the researchers looked not only at crop yield, but also at year-to-year variation in crop area and double cropping. To develop those additional datasets, Cohn and VanWey worked with Jack Mustard, professor of earth, environmental and planetary sciences at Brown, and graduate student Stephanie Spera. Mustard and Spera gathered imagery of the Mato Grosso region from NASA's MODIS satellite, which monitors land cover and land use all over the world.
In the satellite data, cropland is identified as areas that turn green during the growing season, and then quickly become brown, indicating a harvest. Two green-ups in the same growing season indicate the land is being double-cropped.
''The changes in cropping that we quantified with remotely sensed data were stunning,'' Mustard said. ''We can use those satellite data to better understand what's happening from a climate, economic, and sociological standpoint.''
The study showed that temperature increases of 1 degree Celsius were associated with substantial decreases in both total crop area and double cropping. In fact, those decreases accounted for 70 percent of the overall loss in production found in the study. Only the remaining 30 percent was attributable to crop yield.
''Had we looked at yield alone, as most studies do, we would have missed the production losses associated with these other variables,'' VanWey said.
Taken together, the results suggest that traditional studies ''may be underestimating the magnitude of the link between climate and agricultural production,'' Cohn said.
That's especially true in places like Brazil, where agricultural subsidies are scarce compared with places like the U.S.
''This is an agricultural frontier in the tropics in a middle-income country,'' VanWey said. ''This is where the vast majority of agricultural development is going to happen in the next 30 to 50 years. So understanding how people respond in this kind of environment is going to be really important.''
VanWey said a next step for this line of research might be to repeat it in the U.S. to see if increased subsidies or insurance help to guard against these kinds of shocks. If so, it might inform policy decisions in emerging agricultural regions like Mato Grosso.
''We may need to figure out a way to create incentives - credit products or insurance - that can reduce farmers' responses to climate shocks,'' VanWey said.

The first time I saw Joey Casio it was in a super dingy basement with dirt walls and floors. As soon as everyone started dancing the room got so full of dust you couldn't breathe. The dust got into all Joey's electro-gadgets and sequencersizers and he lost a bunch of songs. But it was worth it. I've never felt a house shake as much as that one did.
ONLY: How is tour so far?
Joey Casio: It's pretty good. We've played all sorts of shows. We played inside a record store with all the shelves cleared out in Chico, California. We played at Gay Prom in Palm Springs.
JC: Gay Prom. It was incredible. That was one of the best shows I've ever played. It was at a rented ballroom packed with the weirdest kids from high school all dancing around.
ONLY: Were they wearing full prom get-up?
JC: It was sort of high school punk-goth dressed up for prom. Ranging from people that seemed like they were too old to be there—weird goth dudes—to girls that looked like they were in middle school slow dancing together.
ONLY: Are you playing lots of gay bars this tour?
JC: Yeah, mostly because Scream Club booked the tour. That's kind of their niche. It's fun.
ONLY: I totally can't picture you touring except for a full on house party tour.
JC: Yeah, there hasn't been much of that. If I booked my own tour there'd probably be more of that.
ONLY: Is that your favourite kind of show to play?
JC: It's definitely my favourite kind of show to play. I just got back from DC and New York—I spent a week out there with Tobi (Vail)—and played a couple of shows there. We played a terrible place in New York: a bar where they just didn't care that bands were playing. In fact they seemed bummed about it. The stage was way in the back and there was a foosball table right in front of the stage. There were people playing foosball right in front of me, so I jumped off the stage and walked around on the foosball table. The bar owner was this older guy and he was like, "We have a big stage for you! Why do you jump off the stage?" But then 2 days later I played in Arlington, which is a suburb of DC. It was a house party and it was packed with people and everyone was dancing and drinking and having a good time. It was more my vibe for sure.
ONLY: I heard you played with Metal Urbain.
JC: I did play with Metal Urbain. It was crazy. I mean, the show itself wasn't that crazy, but it was just really weird that it happened. I didn't really get to talk to them at all. Plus they don't really speak English.
ONLY: Who else have you played with lately?
ONLY: I like that you cover a Screamers song.
JC: Yeah. I play "If I Can't Have What I Want I Don't Want Anything." Screamers are probably my favourite band of all time. Because ever since I was 17 or 18 I had this idea in my head that I'd start a punk band that was all electronic. I didn't really know that there were already bands that did that. When the Screamers reissue came out I was totally inspired.
ONLY: Are you a punk band?
JC: Yeah, Definitely. I guess I incorporate other things—hip-hop rhythm sense, instrumentation from dance music and stuff like that. I try to make it a punk band. That's the mission statement of the Joey Casio Band.

Anchor Drop, January 28, 2021: Scotty's Career Night Not Enough
Vanderbilt's rally came too late to beat Florida on Wednesday night.
By Tom Stephenson@tcstephenson1 Jan 28, 2021, 9:25am EST
Share All sharing options for: Anchor Drop, January 28, 2021: Scotty's Career Night Not Enough
Optional Musical Accompaniment
Vanderbilt rallied last night in Gainesville but couldn't quite catch up to Florida. The Commodores trailed by 22 points with under ten minutes to play, but a furious rally — Vanderbilt went on a 13-2 run to close the game to four in the final minute — couldn't quite come up with a win in a 78-71 loss. Scotty Pippen Jr. had a career-high 32 points and Dylan Disu had 18, which honestly might be the worst thing that could have happened, because Vanderbilt desperately needs another scoring option to step up.
That said, Vanderbilt is coming up on a stretch of winnable games. Here are Vanderbilt's next six games: South Carolina, at Texas A&M, at Georgia, Auburn, at Mississippi State, and Kentucky. Aside from Auburn, none of those teams are playing particularly well right now, and Vanderbilt already came close against Mississippi State and Kentucky. Texas A&M has the worst offense in the SEC and it's not even close. And as for Georgia...
I don't do hot takes, but, I'll put this out there:

Neil Young Backtracks, Allows Donald Trump To Use His Music!
Neil Young has backtracked on US presidential hopeful Donald Trump's use of his music at campaign rallies.
The Canadian rocker, 70, last year launched a scathing attack on the billionaire turned politician for using his song Rockin' in the Free World at political events.
He went so far as to say that if Trump asked him for approval he would refuse due to his disillusionment with US politics and inability to vote in American elections.
However now the veteran singer-songwriter says he has no problem with the controversial candidate using his songs as Donald's campaign team obtained the licence to do so from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.
"He actually got a licence to use it," Young said.
"I mean, he said he did and I believe him. So I got nothing against him. You know, once the music goes out, everybody can use it for anything."
Young was one of the first musicians to criticise Trump for using his hits, and stars including Sir Elton John, Adele and The Rolling Stones have since hit out at the 69-year-old politician for playing their hits to supporters before his speeches.
In June last year, he wrote on his Facebook page, "Had I been asked to allow my music to be used for a candidate – I would have said no. I am Canadian and I don't vote in the United States, but more importantly I don't like the current political system in the USA and some other countries."
The real-estate mogul responded by calling Young a "hypocrite" and posting a picture of himself shaking hands with the rocker.
Young, who resides in California and is backing US Democratic Party hopeful Bernie Sanders for the presidency, says that there's no bad blood between him and Trump, as despite having permission to play Rockin' in the Free World at rallies he refrained from doing so after his protest.
"If the artist who made it is saying you never spoke to them, if that means something to you, you probably will stop playing it," he adds. "And it meant something to Donald and he stopped.
"The fact that I said I was for Bernie Sanders and then he didn't ask me to use Rockin' in the Free World doesn't mean that he can't use it."
After a series of victories in US state primary elections, Trump has now all-but wrapped up the Republican nomination to contest America's presidential election in November.
His Democratic opponent is likely to be Hillary Clinton, who has earned an estimated three million more votes than Sanders in their party's primary contest.
Confusing, to say the least.

Eliahu Swirski (* 3. Januar 1921 in Vilnius, Litauen; † 4. März 2002 in Tel Aviv) war ein israelischer Entomologe und Acarologe litauischer Herkunft. Sein Hauptinteresse galt der biologischen Schädlingsbekämpfung und der Raubmilbenfamilie Phytoseiidae.

Leben
Im Alter von 13 Jahren emigrierte Swirski in das britische Mandatsgebiet Palästina. Bis 1938 besuchte er die Herzliia High School, wo er das Fach Agrarwissenschaften belegte. Von 1938 bis 1942 studierte Swirski Biologie an der Hebräischen Universität Jerusalem. Mit dem Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs brach er sein Studium ab und meldete sich freiwillig zum Dienst in der britischen Armee, in der er von 1942 bis 1946 diente. Nach dem Krieg nahm er sein Studium wieder auf und erlangte 1948 den Master-Abschluss in Zoologie. Im selben Jahr wurde er wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter in der Abteilung für Entomologie der Landwirtschaftlichen Versuchsstation in Rechovot. Als 1948 der Unabhängigkeitskrieg ausbrach, unterbrach er seine Arbeit und diente bis zum Ende des Krieges im Jahr 1949 bei den Israelischen Verteidigungsstreitkräften in der Givʿati-Brigade, mit der er an den Kämpfen im Süden Israels beteiligt war. Nach dem Krieg nahm er seine Arbeit in der Abteilung für Entomologie wieder auf. 1951 wurde er mit einer Dissertation über den Blattlausbefall an Obstbäumen zum Doktor promoviert. Im selben Jahr erhielt er von Friedrich Simon Bodenheimer das Angebot, an der Abteilung für Entomologie der Hebräischen Universität Jerusalem, Forschung über Blattläuse zu betreiben. Diese Studien gipfelten in dem Buch The Aphidoidea of the Middle East, das 1957 zusammen mit Bodenheimer veröffentlicht wurde. 1955 kehrte Swirski an die Landwirtschaftliche Versuchsstation nach Rechovot zurück, um seine intensive und umfangreiche Arbeit über Schädlinge von Laubobstbäumen, Zitrusfrüchten, Dattelpalmen und Avocado, zu beginnen. Swirski sammelte eine enorme Datenmenge über die Milbenfamilie Phytoseiidae und veröffentlichte zahlreiche Artikel über deren Biologie, Ökologie, Fortpflanzung, Taxonomie und Bekämpfung. Außerdem beschrieb er viele neue Milbenarten. Darüber hinaus arbeitete er intensiv an Blattläusen, Fliegen, Nachtfalter, Wollläusen, Blattflöhen und Schildläusen.

Im Jahr 1959 wurde er zum Leiter der Abteilung für Entomologie an der Landwirtschaftlichen Versuchsstation (später Volcani Center) ernannt und hatte diese Position bis zu seiner Pensionierung im Jahr 1986 inne. Unter seiner Leitung legte die Abteilung den Schwerpunkt auf Projekte, die sich mit der biologischen Kontrolle von Schadinsekten durch ihre natürlichen Feinde befassten. Dafür wurden viele Parasitoide und Fressfeinde dieser Schädlinge aus anderen Ländern nach Israel importiert. Als großer Befürworter der biologischen Schädlingsbekämpfung gilt Swirski als einer der Begründer der integrierten Schädlingsbekämpfung in Israel.

Seine Studien trugen zur Entwicklung von integrierten Schädlingsbekämpfungs-Systemen für Zitrusfrüchte, Dattelpalmen und Avocado bei. 1959 erhielt Swirski den Histadrut-Preis für seine Studien über die Biologie der Rostmilbe in Zitrusfrüchten. Im Jahr 1961 erhielt er Auszeichnungen von der Stadtverwaltung Rechovot und dem Citrus Marketing Board of Israel (Vereinigung für den Vertrieb von Zitrusfrüchten in Israel). Im Jahr 1960 erhielt er Einladungen nach Japan und Hongkong, zur Durchführung einer Studie über die Phytoseiidae, was zur Erstbeschreibung mehrerer neuer Arten führte. Von 1964 bis 1967 hatte er auch den Direktorenporen des Instituts für Pflanzenschutz innerhalb der israelischen Agrarforschungsorganisation inne. Neben vielen anderen Aktivitäten beschäftigte sich Swirski mit der Taxonomie von Blattläusen und Raubmilben und beschrieb viele neue Arten. 1972 reiste er nach Kenia und Südafrika, um nach natürlichen Feinden der Schildläuse zu suchen. Es gelang ihm, viele von ihnen in Israel einzuführen, darunter den Parasitoiden Metaphycus bartletti (heute ein Synonym für Metaphycus lounsburyi), einen effizienten natürlichen Feind der Schildlausart Saissetia oleae. Darüber hinaus entdeckte er einen weiteren Parasitoiden, eine neue Art, die 1979 als Metaphycus swirskii  beschrieben wurde und in Israel erfolgreich als wichtiger natürlicher Feind des Avocado-Schädlings Protopulvinaria piriformis eingesetzt wird. Im Laufe der Jahre knüpfte Swirski enge Beziehungen zu vielen Wissenschaftlern aus anderen Teilen der Welt. Von 1978 bis 1988 war er Lehrbeauftragter an der Landwirtschaftlichen Fakultät der Hebräischen Universität Jerusalem in Rechovot. 1986 erhielten er und seine Kollegen den Kaplan-Preis für die Entwicklung eines biologischen Schädlingsbekämpfungssysten für Avocadohaine in Israel, das zu einem reduzierten Einsatz von Insektiziden und einer verbesserten Umweltökologie führte. Im selben Jahr wurde er zum Ehrenmitglied des Pesticide Research and Development Fund ernannt. 1987 wurde sein Name, in Anerkennung seiner Arbeit über Obstbaumschädlinge, in das Goldene Buch des Jüdischen Nationalfonds eingetragen. Im Jahr 1988 wurde ihm ein Ehrenstipendium der Agricultural Research Organization verliehen. 1986 ging er offiziell in Ruhestand, beteiligte sich aber bis zu seinem Tod an den meisten Projekten, in denen er vor seiner Pensionierung engagiert war. Er gründete die Rachel and Eliahu Swirski Foundation, die Studenten unterstützt, die sich auf Entomologie und Schädlingsbekämpfung spezialisieren. Er gründete auch den Rachel and Eliahu Endowment Fund zur Unterstützung des Israel Journal of Entomology. 1994 erhielt Swirski den Israel-Preis für Landwirtschaft, für seine Forschungen in der Entomologie und seinen Beitrag zum Pflanzenschutz und zur Umwelt.

In den letzten Jahren seines Lebens veröffentlichte er mehrere faunistische Arbeiten über die Phytoseiidae Israels und 1999 eine kommentierte Liste der israelischen Blattläuse. Seine 266 Publikationen umfassen wissenschaftliche Artikel, Bücher sowie Kapitel in Büchern und Enzyklopädien. Sein letztes Buch Subtropical Fruits Pests in Israel wurde kurz nach seinem Tod im Jahr 2002 von Mans Wisoki und Jonathan Yizhar veröffentlicht.

Given the huge interest in the Star Wars series of films, and the terrific action sequences that littered George Lucas' classic space opera, the films seem tailor made for arcade conversion, but in reality there have been relatively few officially licensed arcade games released.
That said, the arcade games that have been released have proved to be some of the most engaging and exciting movie tie-ins, with production values to match the films on which they were based. So in this first article on the Star Wars Video Games, I'm taking a look back over 30 years of arcade titles, their impact on the gaming public, and how you can play them today.
The original, and for many gamers the best, Star Wars arcade game was released by Atari in 1983. Based on the plot of the first film, the game places you in the role of Rebel Alliance hero Luke Skywalker, as you fly your X-Wing fighter on a mission to destroy the original Death Star.
The first thing you notice about the arcade game is the sound effects, with samples of dialogue from the film being blasted out over the an electronic version of John William's Star Wars theme tune. The cabinet itself is a work of art, with detailed graphics and a highly bespoke screen surround, as well as an authentic flight yoke complete with fire buttons.
Using Vector graphics first seen on the classic Asteroids arcade game, the Star Wars arcade game recreated many of the scenes from the finale of Star Wars Episode 4 : A New Hope, from aerial combat with Imperial Tie fighters to the Death Star trench run.
Armed with a limited number of shields, you must first pilot your X-Wing past waves of enemy ships, avoiding their missiles whilst trying to destroy them with your on board lasers.
In the second wave, you reach the surface of the Death Star, and must avoid the incoming fire from the missile turrets whilst destroying the control towers at the top, as well as dodging the towers themselves.
Survive the missile turrets and you are dropped in the Death Star trench, the final wave of the game, where you mission is to survive to the end and fire a missile into the Exhaust port and destroy the Death Star. Along the way you will be attacked by gun emplacements in the sides of the trench, and have obstacles in the form of gantries placed in your path, which must be dodged in order to protect your shields.
If you survive to the end of the final wave, you will be treated to perhaps the most memorable scene in arcade gaming, as you escape the orbit of the Death Star just in time to see it explode to the crescendo of the Star Wars soundtrack, and congratulations from your wing man Han Solo.
If the standard stand-up version of the Star Wars arcade game were not exciting enough, there was also an inspired special edition cabinet that allowed gamers to actually sit inside the game, like climbing into your very own X-Wing ship.
Identical in gameplay, the cabinet featured stereo sound, increasing the feeling of immersion of the game, as well as a smoked glass panel to allow jealous onlookers to view you playing while awaiting their turn. For fans of the series, this was the closest thing to actually being Luke Skywalker.
Due to the collectable nature of these fantastic cabinets, with signifanct demand from both gamers and Star Wars fans alike, they now fetch very high prices, with a mint example of either reaching in excess of £2,000 / $3,000 depending on condition.
A number of attempts were made to convert the arcade game to home formats, but due to the unique vector graphics, home conversion was a challenge. One of the best versions was the PC DOS version by Broderbund, not available until 1998 it was however very authentic, featuring fast colourful graphics and arcade perfect gameplay.
Versions were also available for the Atari home consoles including the 2600 and the 5200, as well as home computers such as the Commodore 64 and Acorn Electron. The game is also available as an Easter Egg within Star Wars : Rogue Squadron III for the Nintendo Gamecube.
The next game to receive the arcade treatment by Atari was 1984's Return of the Jedi, featuring action from the 3rd film of the original Star Wars trilogy. The game mirrored the film in more ways than one, being the least favourite game in the series, one that has not really stood the test of time in the same way as other arcade titles.
Moving away from Vector graphics to the more standard Raster graphics used in most arcade games, Return of the Jedi featured a pseudo 3D gameplay popularised by the Sega shooter Zaxxon, where the player followed an isometric 3D path diagonally up and to the right of the screen.
Due to the very specific nature of the isometric gameplay, the action focused on various flying and action sequences from the film, starting with the speeder bike chase set in the Forest of Endor. Dodge the trees and avoid the stormtroopers, and you reach the base where R2D2 and C3PO are waiting for you.
The second wave features the Millennium falcon in the second Death Star run, this time with you racing to the core of the Death Star and out again, avoiding Tie Fighters and girders. Once complete, you discover the Death Star explosion animation is not as impressive as the first arcade game, but satisfying nonetheless, given the un-compromising difficulty of the game.
Once complete, the waves repeat, but with a new sequence inserted on the surface of Endor, this time with you piloting an AT-ST walker, avoiding rolling logs and destroying enemy vehicles. The action switches back and forth between the surface of Endor and space, where you pilot the Millennium Falcon past the Imperial fleet towards the surface of the Death Star.
Domark were charged with porting the game to various home computer formats including the Amstrad CPC, Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Atari ST, Amiga and Commodore 64. The most authentic version was for the Amiga, and well worth hunting down if you can't find an original cabinet.
The third arcade release set in the Star Wars universe sees Atari go back in time, to a previous episode in the series as well as to the vector graphics format of the original game. In fact, rather than a brand new cabinet, it was only available as a conversion for the original Star Wars arcade unit, using the same basic hardware but a different software chipset on a new printed circuit board. Arcade owners could convert the cabinet using new side art and banner graphics whilst retaining the original game controls.
The gameplay of Empire Strikes Back followed a similar theme to Star Wars, replaced with classic scenes from Episode 5, starting on the surface of the Ice Planet Hoth. In the first wave you pilot the rebel Snowspeeder, playing as trainee Jedi Luke Skywalker as he hunts down and destroys Imperial spy droids which fly across the screen.
The second level is the iconic AT-AT Walker scene, where Luke has to bring down the huge camel-like machines by using tow cables that wrap around their legs. Rather than looping around the walkers as Luke Skywalker did in the film to trip them up, you fling a cable like a bolas towards them in order to bring them down.
The third level is set in space, where you must escape the planet surface in the Millennium Falcon and destroy the Tie Fighters chasing you, each kill accompanied by a cheer from Chewbacca. The fourth and final level sees the Falcon having to traverse an Asteroid field, the one thing between you and escape from pursuing the Imperial forces.
These games are difficult to find today, being conversions of the original Star Wars cabinet, that many people found to be superior and therefore unlikely to update to this later game. If you are luck you might find someone selling the cabinet with both arcade boards, and be in a position to swap between the games.
20 years after the original Star Wars Arcade game was released by Atari, a new version with the same name was launched by Sega - the first in a series by the Japanese gaming giant. Making use of the latest projection TV technology, Sega's version included a huge playing screen and high resolution colour graphics.
The game is set entirely in space, where you pilot your X-Wing fighter through 4 distinct stages, including battles with Tie-Fighters, a Star Destroyer and finally the Death Star itself. Keen Star Wars fans will notice that the Death Star is actually the second Death Star featured in Return of the Jedi, not the one from the original Star Wars film.
The game was novel in that it allowed 2 players to play simultaneously, one in the role of pilot, who can fly an X-Wing but only shoot at the centre of the screen, and a gunner who has control of a cross-hair that can fire anywhere on the screen.
Although the arcade title was rarely seen outside of Japan, it was released as a home conversion and launch title for the Sega 32x console, an add-on for the Sega Megadrive / Genesis. The game received an average reception on launch in 1994, but due to its release title status is fairly common and can be picked up cheaply but you will need the 32x add-on to play it.
This final (at time of writing) Star Wars arcade game is the only title to feature action from the 2nd trilogy of films, the focus of this unit being the Pod racing scene from The Phantom Menace. As one of the set pieces from the film, featuring a gladiatorial competition between anti-gravity speeders, it was ripe for conversion to an arcade racer.
Publisher Sega has produced some great racing games in the past, and Star Wars Racer Arcade makes the most of the source material, with a solid recreation of the scene where young Anakin Skywalker defeats a variety of alien combatants in his homemade pod racer.
The cabinet itself was released in 2 sit down formats, featuring a single player (where you play as Anakin) or linked 2 player (playing as Anakin or his nemesis Sebulba) designs, including racing seats and twin engine controls, mirroring the actual Pod racers from the Phantom Menace film.
Rather than a joystick or a steering wheel, your pod racer is controlled via twin sticks, which control the boost applied to each of your racer's pods, allowing you to perform controlled turns around tight corners and between narrow gaps in the rocky landscape. There was also a boost button which could be used for brief periods and overtake your competitors.
Like many arcade racing games, Star Wars Racer Arcade featured check points which needed to be reached before the timer reaches zero, and an extension is awarded. Hit the walls or other obstacles and your racer would slow in speed, wasting valuable seconds and allowing your competitors to pass you.
A distinctive (due to the Star Wars theme) yet ultimately unremarkable title, Star Wars Racer Arcade represents a bit of an anti-climax, and leaves fans awaiting a new game worthy of the name.
25 years after the original Atari Star Wars arcade game, the task of re-imagining the film was passed to Sega in 1998, with the Star Wars Trilogy Arcade cabinet. For this title, which was released before the new Star Wars Trilogy, the story of the first 3 films was told via a mixture video game genre's including on-rails dogfighting, first-person shooting and even hand to hand combat with Darth Vader himself.
The game was broken into 3 episodes selectable via the start screen, with action interspersed with video cut-scenes and samples from the films.
The first mission mirrored the original Star Wars Arcade storyline, with you piloting an X-Wing through space to combat Tie Fighters and Imperial Destroyers, although your flight path is fixed so the focus is on destroying various targets by moving the on-screen cross hairs and firing your lasers. Survive long enough and you will once again be dropped into the Death Star trench, and battle through enemy waves and fixed gun emplacements long enough to fire a torpedo into the exhaust hatch and destroy the Death Star all over again.
The 2nd and 3rd waves feature the Hoth battle scene from the Empire Strikes Back, and a final showdown with Darth Vader from the Return of the Jedi, as well as the destruction of the second Death Star.
A great game to watch as well as play, Star Wars Trilogy Arcade was a title that required you to keep pumping in credits in order to progress to the end and see the game in all its glory. Of all the Star Wars Arcade Games, this is probably the one that best recreates the spirit of the original film trilogy and definitely one worth seeking out if you haven't played it already.
Home versions of the Star Wars Racer Arcade game were published for the Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color handheld and the Sega Dreamcast, with the 64 and Dreamcast versions being the most authentic conversions.
What's your favourite Star Wars Arcade Game?
The retro TIE resembles how the X Wing appeared on targeting computers in the first movie. Nice.
I know a lot of people who would go for the Arcade Cabinet and I personally like the look of the Racer Arcade. Star Wars was such a popular movie series, I have no doubt all of these games are riveting! Polled, voted useful and thank you for the information.
