Beg to differ that people think there is one set of rules, eh? :) Point out how many athletes are enrolled in the Ag College, grab some popcorn and watch the fireworks.

"Cornell's advantage is not "greyshirting." Their advantage is that state AG school. I am curious as to what % of their wrestlers get in through this loophole not available to other Ivies."
Oh, boy, mention SUNY Ithaca and the sparks will fly.

The admissions process is compromised at those institutions, at a minimum. Judging from various scandals that have occurred over the years, the academic expectations have been compromised as well. Unsettling that institutions dont want to avoid those stigmas.
It's not compromised. We've had this stupid conversation before. Cornell, Princeton, Stanford, Michigan, etc., don't admit students who can't succeed academically. Period. There's no compromise. Princeton could have an entire freshman class consisting of Asian kids from NJ who have 1600 SAT scores and a 4.3GPA, but they don't, and they have most kids with lower academic credentials than that. Ask yourself why that might be. Same for Stanford, Cal Berkeley, and just about every other elite school.

Why is it a "loophole" that Cornell is a Land Grant University? How many kids get into Cornell via the Ag School who aren't wrestlers?
How many kids get into Harvard or Princeton because those schools can provide full tuition through the "loophole" of their massive endowment not available to other Ivies?

That must be a pretty good size house owned by the Cornell alum to house all 14 (according to wrestlestat) FLWC/Cornell wrestlers. Who pays for their meals, their equipment, their tournament and transportation fees, and other expenses? Who provides health services not covered by medical insurance?

Billy and Whiz must be a real hoot at parties. Lighten up guys.
How these kids want to live their lives, is, simply, none of your business.
Many of you on here should be embarrassed with your condemnatory comments.
Go to a religion website and pontificate with your judgmental, pejorative comments.
Again, you should be ashamed of yourselves how you castigate and chastise kids just who are making sound decisions to better themselves.
And finally, no one cares if YOU don't "like" the system that supports kids in their life decisions.

It's a bit ironic that the first person who is condemning/chastising people in this thread is you. I have simply criticized the system that Cornell has implemented given its blatant disregard for the entire purpose of the no redshirting rule in the ivies. I'm not sure how you took that to be an attack on "kids," but please don't resort to personal attacks on other posters here--simply disagreeing with the points that we are making is sufficient.
Also, I get that most people think the whole "no redshirting in the ivy league" rule is dumb. Outside of the ivy league, it doesn't matter that Cornell has found a loophole around it, since they don't have any advantage over Iowa, tOSU, PSU, etc. But I think one of the great things about the ivy league is that the students are expected to be students first and graduate in four years while competing, aren't able to get athletic scholarships, and have a more limited practice/competition schedule.

I don't think anyone is really criticizing the kids, moreso the school.
It might not be our business, but if Cornell/FLRTC is subsidizing housing for their prospective athletes, I would think that might be the NCAA's business unless I'm not up to date on the latest rules (which is possible).

How old were Mark Hall, Logan Stieber, and Eric Grajales when they entered their freshmen year of college? they were not 18 lol they definitely took a few kindergarten blueshirts.
How come a Mormon is able to take a mission and still compete in college athletics at 26/27? because it falls under religious obligations? LAUGHABLE
Eli stickley and Alex Marinelli were home schooled! yet got to receive the benefits of wrestling for one of the best programs in the country.....
My point being their are ways around everything, and the only people who should be upset are the ones who are not benefiting from it the action. Who cares that IVYs have specific rules. Fans/media love to have so many opinions on collegiate athletes whether it being about getting paid/eligibility. grow up and just appreciate to you get to watch these tremendous athletes compete!
The truth of the matter is redshirting is an outdated term, it was initially put into place to help students with their workload, at most D1 universities athletes are given every advantage possible to succeed in their classroom whether by tutors or teacher help. In todays world wrestlers have proven over & over again, that your top guys are ready to compete right out of the gate. You want an even playing field eliminate the concept in general, but that will never happen.

The teams in the ivy league that follow the rules and have to compete against those who don't care. I agree though that in terms of Cornell vs Iowa or tOSU, Cornell's loophole isn't an advantage at all.

It's a room in a house. For those gray shirting, they are D1 athletes, so there are no rules broken. And when they become d1 athletes, they get money for housing thru scholarship.
Ans I dont know If you are missing some of the facts. But any student and any school can do this.
You could go into the military and wrestle for the All-service team for 4 or more years, then go to college. You could go to the Olympic training center and wrestle for a yr, then enroll. Or many other options.
I thought Ivy League did not give scholarships?

I have no issue with grey shirts. Gap years are good. Nonetheless, it cheapens Cornell to do it. Is it the only Ivy that aspires to be a jock school?
Did you read the article? Do you think Princeton is a jock school too?
23 minutes ago, Billyhoyle said:
Fine. Let us hear your set of Ivy League rules that would disallow what you think Cornell is doing that is so wrong, and still allow accepted students to defer enrollment and do whatever the f*** they want to do before matriculating.

Kolodzik was the only Princeton wrestler mentioned that actually took a "gap year" after HS.
It just seems to be much more common at Cornell. I mean even Cardenas was quoted in the article as saying "it's what the coaches think is best for the team," no mention of making sure they're prepared academically. The closest thing they said to academics was Fernandes saying "well we're up here focusing on wrestling, might as well knock some classes out."

klehner. You are the man. Thanks. I could not have said it better.
Basically I don't think Cornell should be encouraging its recruiting class to take a year off and train at the FLWC in lieu of a redshirt-its even worse for the students than a redshirt year. I'm not sure exactly what rule would stop this but maybe some type of rule limiting recruited athletes from training within "x miles" of a school prior to enrollment. This doesn't impact athletes who want to take the year off and PG or go to the OTC.

They don't, as a general rule. But they have something arguably better: an unlimited amount of need-blind aid. Given that wrestling is a blue-collar sport (it ain't fencing or squash, to be sure), many Ivy wrestling families qualify for substantial aid if not an outright full ride.
(Technically, scholarships are a thing in the Ivies, but they very specific third-party or named scholarships, e.g. Rhodes scholarships, and not widespread scholarships for a significant portion of the student body.)

PGs, as exploited by the Ivies in the sports more traditionally favored by Ivy admissions, is worse. If anything is a mockery of the purported Ivy League scholar-athlete paradigm, it's that.

I'm not a fan of the PG year either, but at least doing a PG year is independent from the athletic program/university (I don't know of any universities that have local prep schools where the PG athletes are actually training with the college athletes). I'm not sure what the best way is to discourage PG years though since students should be able to defer admission and if they want to PG it's up to them.
I'll mark you down as "I can't think of any set of rules that doesn't infringe on every other accepted student's right to take a year off and do whatever the f*** they want." Or are you okay with Fernandes taking his gap year and training at the NJ RTC, for instance?
powershouse 104
how is this different than a prep school?
The difference is that these guys are working out with the Cornell (insert name of any school with an RTC here) team and staff in the Cornell room. Nominally they are training for international competition as part of the RTC but they aren't working on just takedowns, guts and laces - I'm sure they are working on their folk style riding and escaping.

How about USMAPS?
Just now, klehner said:
I think it's less of a problem when one person is doing it compared to an entire program that encourages everyone to do it. There can be many reasons that a student needs to take a year off, but he still should be able to train. When practically your entire recruiting class is greyshirting locally, what you have is a shadow redshirt program.

Surecut Shears
Topics: Revenue, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, Fischer projection Pages: 1 (370 words) Published: October 23, 2009
SureCutShears manufactures a complete line of household scissors and industrial shears. The company has been profitable since 1958 and is considered to be healthy, with ROE at 14%, Gross Profit Margin at 28% and Current Ration at 10.9% for 1995. David Fischer, Treasurer arranged for a line of credit of $3.5million with the Hudson Bank and presented the bank with projected statements. The first assumption made Mr. Fischer when he prepared the projection financial statements The first assumption made by Mr. Fischer when he prepared the projected financial statements is that sales would continue to increase during the seasonal period, July to December. Instead, sales declined 18% and the company was producing more than it was selling. This resulted in an over projection of $786k in inventory. The second assumption made by Mr. Fischer is that SureCut would be able to repay the outstanding bank loan of $1.15million in March 1996. This was not reasonable as Mr. Fischer did not expect a recession and revenues to fall. SureCut was unable to repay its bank loan by March 31, 1996 as originally forecasted because Mr. Fischer could not have known there would be a recession. This resulted in a decline in sales of 16.8% by March '96. Actual sales for 7/95 – 3/96 were $2.8mil below projections and a shortfall in net income of $1.02mil. Also the actual cash for the same period was $5.7milbelow projections. Another reason why SureCutwas unable to repay its bank loan is the company was producing more than it was selling. This resulted in an inventory built up of $5.2 mil over projections. Mr. Fischer could have scaled back production beginning in October '95 when the recession started and the actual inventory on hand was at $446k above projections. This could have been done through reduced purchases and cut back in labor hours. Another alternative was for the company to have a sale/discount on price in order to reduce inventory. SureCut's financial condition worsened...
A Description of Vane Shear Test Essay
...College of Engineering Civil Engineering Department Experiment No. 1 Vane Shear Test in Cohesive Soil Submitted by: Dela Peña, Analyn A. 10948724 LBYCVG2 EJ Submitted to: Engr. Irene Ubay Professor Submitted on: October 8, 2012 I. Introduction Vane shear test is used to measure the shear strength of a soil. It also estimated and measured the fully saturated clay's undrained shear strength without derangement in the specimen. This test can be conducted in field and laboratory however, in laboratory can only execute the experiment with low shear strength (0.3 kg/cm2) for which unconfined test cannot be performed. The test apparatus are composed of 3 different diameters of 4-blade stainless vane that is attached in a steel rod that pushed vertically in the soil. The pocket value that can get in small vane should multiply by two however, the value can get in large vane should divide by two and the value that can get in medium vane is as it is. The test is performed by pushing the vane vertically in the soil and rotated it clockwise from the surface to determine the torsional force. The soil will resist the rotation of the vane and its resistance is the force of soil that causes the cylindrical area to be sheared by the vane. When the rotation of the vane is continues it means that the soil fails in shear and it is normal that the rotation is continued after measuring...
Direct Shear Box Test Essay
...Direct Shear Box Test Contents Introduction Objective Apparatus Description of Test Results Calculations Relevance to Geotechnics Soil Description and Conclusion References Introduction Shear strength is the property that enables a material to remain in equilibrium when its surface is not level. (Smith, 2006) The direct shear test is used to determine the shear strength of soils on a predetermined failure surface. This test is used to measure the shearing resistance, undrained shear strength, and dilative and contractive tendencies in soils. (Fratta et al, 2007) The results can then be used to determine the allowable bearing capacity of foundations and stability of retaining walls, cuttings and embankments. Objective To determine the angle of shearing resistance of a sample of sand; the test may be carried out either dry or fully saturated but not anywhere in between. Apparatus * Motorised shear box * Electronic balance * Horizontal and vertical measuring gauges * Assorted steel weights * Lever arm attachment * Tamper * Proving Ring Description of Test Three samples of the same soil are placed into the shear box, which has two stacked squares to hold the sample. A confining stress is applied to the sample and the upper square is pulled laterally until the sample fails. The normal stress applied, the vertical displacement and...
Shear Force Research Paper
...TITLE : Shear Force Variation with an Increasing Point Load. INTRODUCTION: SHEAR FORCE The shearing force (SF) at any section of a beam represents the tendency for the portion of the beam on one side of the section to slide or shear laterally relative to the other portion. The diagram shows a beam carrying loads . It is simply supported at two points where the reactions are Assume that the beam is divided into two parts by a section XX The resultant of the loads and reaction acting on the left of AA is F vertically upwards and since the whole beam is in equilibrium, the resultant force to the right of AA must be F downwards. F is called the Shearing Force at the section AA. It may be defined as follows:- The shearing force at any section of a beam is the algebraic sum of the lateral components of the forces acting on either side of the section. Where forces are neither in the lateral or axial direction they must be resolved in the usual way and only the lateral components use to calculate the shear force. EXPERIMENT 1A[i]: Shear Force Variation with an Increasing Point Load OBJECTIVE : This experiment examines how shear forces varies with an increasing point load. THEORY: We know that if a body or object of any sort is stationary, then the forces on it balance, as follows: 1. Vertical equilibrium (total force up = total force down) 2. Horizontal...
Shear Force Essay
...CEMB 121 MECHANICS OF MATERIALS LABORATORY EXPERIMENT (NO.2 (a)) SHEAR FORCE I SUMMARY Shear Forces occurs when two parallel forces act out of alignment with each other. For example, in a large boiler made from the sections of sheet metal plate riveted together, there is an equal and opposite force exerted on the rivets, owing to the expansion and contraction of the plates. The shearing force (SF) at any section of a beam represents the tendency for the portion of the beam on one side of the section to slide or shear laterally relative to the other portion. The diagram above shows a beam carrying loads W1, W2 and W3. It is simply supported at two points where the reactions are R1 and R2. Assume that the beam is divided into two parts bya section X-X. The resultant of the loads and reaction acting on the left of A-A is vertically upwards and since the whole beam is in equilibrium, the resultant force to the right of A-A must be F downwards. F is called the Shearing Force at the section A-A. It may be defined as follows; the shearing force at any section of a beam is the algebraic sum of the lateral components of the forces acting on either side of the section. Where forces are neither in the lateral or axial direction, they must be resolved in the usual way and only the lateral components are used to calculate the shear forces. There is different types of load. A beam is normally horizontal and the loads...
Conclusion for Shear Force and Bending Momnet Essay
...CONCLUSION After calculating and observing the values and action of shear force it is concluded that: The bending moment is at maximum when the shear force is zero or changes sign. For every member the internal forces are described by shear force and bending moment. 7. SOURCES OF ERROR Following were the possible errors which produced a mark difference from the actualvalues: 1. Making the beam less stable. 2. Unstable positioning of loads i.e., not placing the loads on the exact middle or on themarked lines. 3. Reading error called parallax error. 4. Possibly the distance between the loads and span was not exactly equal. 5. Disturbing the load while applying the force. 8. GENERALPRECAUTIONS While carrying out this experiment several precautions must be kept in mind so that thepossibility of divergence from the accurate result is minimized. 1. Avoid parallax error. 2. Avoid disturbance from the surroundings. 3. Make sure that the beam is in the balanced position then take the readings. 4. Make sure that there should not be zero error in the spring balance. 5. If any then subtractfrom the final result. 6. Always and every time first measure the datum value. 7. It is good practice to see the balance level of the beam from a certain distance. 8. Make sure that in screwing/unscrewing your hand must not disturb the balance level. 9. Neither put heavy loads first nor over...
Lab of Shear Strength Essay
...TITLE- SHEAR STRENGTH EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this lab was to find the shear strength of three materials i. e. Steel ,Brass and Aluminum. The values of the shear strength from the table indicate that the steel has maximum shear strength whereas aluminum has least shear strength. OBJECTIVE The objective was to know how important is the shear strength while making designs by testing shear strength of three materials. THEORY According to H.W. Morrow and Robert P. Kokernak, Statics and Strength of Materials, eighth Edition: Shear stress is a type of stress which is caused by two forces acting parallel to the cross sectional area and these forces are acting in opposite directions. Shear strength is the maximum force divided by cross sectional area, where the forces are parallel to the area and both are in opposite direction. The relation between shear strength and tensile strength is that shear strength is about three-fourths of tensile strength.

Vane Shear Test
...ANALYSIS The vane shear apparatus makes use of the theory that the summation of the total shear stress is equal to the sum of the shear stress at failure along the cylindrical surface and the total shear stress on the top and the bottom of the surface of the cylinder. The various sizes of the vanes are accounted for by applying the multiplying factor. The value obtained from the medium sized vane is the value of the stress itself, and there is no need to multiply or divide the value. The values obtained from the larger vane is divided by two, since it is harder to rotate the vanes because there is more surfaces that create resistance. Lastly, the value obtained from the smallest vane six is multiplied by two since it is easier to rotate the vanes. From Table 1.0, the values for the undrained shear strength of the soil for the first trial using the medium vane, larger vane, and smaller vane are as follows: 18kN/m3, 17 kN/m3, and 19 kN/m3, respectively. It can be observed that the values are relatively large, this is because the soil sample is fully saturated. However, the results of each test using different vane sizes yielded different values. The differences in the values can be caused by 1) Personal Errors, 2) Overburden Stress 3) The moisture content of the soil and the 4) condition of the soil. Since the whole experiment is done by eye, it is very much susceptible to personal errors; a group member...

New to Hua Chenyu
The Complete Biography
Game Lounge
Here's a collection of Hua Chenyu's music performances on various music shows and events.
For a chronological chart of Hua Chenyu videos, click here for the Martian Chronicles.
Singer 2018 歌手
Singer is a Chinese singing competition program where seven famous veteran musicians perform for a selected audience, who votes to eliminate a singer after each week's performance. The following week, another singer joins the competition, and the lineup of artists varies throughout the course of the show (program description from Wikipedia). In 2018, Hua Chenyu finally joined Singer after turning the show down for three years. Here's a song list of his Singer 2018 performances.
The Next Season 1 – 2 天籁之战第1-2季
The Next (天籁之战) is a Chinese music variety show where contestants get to challenge judges who are famous musicians in a sing-off. The winner of the sing-off is determined by votes from the 400-member live audience. The challenged judge has to perform a song picked by the contestant, and only has 24 hours to learn and rearrange the given song, while the contestant can sing a song of their own choice. Hua was a judge on the show and had a very high winning rate, to the point that in one episode, no contestant wanted to challenge Hua, fearing that they would certainly lose. During the show, contestants kept coming up with news strategies to beat Hua. For example, one contestant challenged him to sing a viral meme song "My Skateboard Shoes" which is regarded as a so-bad-it's-good kind of song. The original song has no rhyme or rhythm and Hua was able to rewrite the entire song into something coherent in 24 hours. In a later episode, another contestant picked a piece of theme music with no lyrics for Hua, and Hua was able to write an entire new song (The Monkey King 齐天大圣) using snippets from the original music in 24 hours. In Season 2, one contestant attempted a different strategy from his fallen predecessors — he picked a song called "I May Be Ugly But I'm Very Gentle (我很丑可是我很温柔)" for Hua. Hua later decided to perform the song wearing a Phantom-Of-The-Opera style mask. One contestant also challenged Hua to sing the background music of the classic 80's video game Contra/Gryzor, which is a piece of midi music with no lyrics. Hua wrote a new song incorporating snippets from the original piece of music in 24 hours.
Here is a song list of Hua's performances on The Next Season 1 & 2. All of these songs were learned, prepared, rearranged and sometimes recomposed in 24 hours.

The Coming One 明日之子 (2017)
The Coming One is a Chinese singing competition program produced by Tencent Video. The aim of the show is to discover and nurture new pop idols based on online voting. Hua is a coach on the show. During the later rounds, the contestants got to perform a duet with the coaches. Here are two of Hua's duet performances with the contestants on The Coming One.

It's official, Gateway to Success Academy chartered by ESD
It is now official, there will be a new public charter school in Mason County — Gateway to Success Academy, or G2S — beginning in the fall of 2016.
A group named the West Michigan Educational Leadership Group (WMELG) formed about a year ago to study the issue and on Wednesday the members of that group — Anita Wilson, Lisa Stich, Don Fallis, Margaret Mitchell and Doug Bacon — were officially sworn in as the members of Gateway's new school board, which was created Wednesday through a contract signed by both the WMELG board and West Shore Educational Services District board.
Additonal Quotes:
"Plans call for the school to offer something new to the area, project-based learning as it's called in the world of education. It will be heavy on hands-on and real-world-experience learning."

The beautiful Wiltshire Berry print is a retooled version of a timeless Liberty Fabrics classic.
This leaf and berry pattern was designed for Liberty Fabrics in 1933. Like Betsy, it was created by the designer with the initials DS. It was redesigned in 1968. Wiltshire has been on classic Tana since 1979.


The growth and expansion of 'solutions' provided by the 'personal growth' movement continues at a relentless pace. Almost daily there is a new promise, a new method or intervention (often old ones repackaged), and yet the human condition continues its march towards further confusion, unhappiness, pain and, for many, despair. There are undoubtedly examples of 'real' progress but they tend to be the exceptions rather than the rule. For the majority of us there is at best a loss of contact with the self, as we walk trance-like through our lives, not really sure where we are going. There are growing numbers whose lives have lost meaning and purpose as they struggle with doubt, fear, anxiety, guilt and shame. Until our obsession with immediacy (must have it now!) is conquered we are in danger of trading in the present moment for 'something better' (only to find something better has passed us by but we simply haven't noticed). The 'quick-fix' approach has become the mantra for our time. But if we are not careful, we'll come to expect all things can be fixed quickly which is simply not the case. Of course there are some instances where a plaster or bandage will do the job. Just as there are times when a few stitches and a bowl of soup will be sufficient. However there are just as many times when something more is needed: an operation, a bed and a period of rehabilitation.
We believe that the plethora of promises, methods and interventions have seduced many away from the simplicity of what is needed. It is our hypothesis that all we need is the 'right' knowledge, plus application, which equals personal power (power born of experience). If you look at the chart, you can see the primary objective is to get from the 'old and familiar' to the 'new and unchartered'. The space in between these two positions illustrates the journey from one to the other. On the path of personal growth, we all want to be living under the canopy of the new and unchartered and be free from the old and familiar. Unfortunately for many (we believe most) this is not the case as we are often living 'recycled pasts' – posing as the now! So why are we held hostage by our pasts, patterns and habits…? The answer is simple. We've not understood the power of application: it's not what we know but what we do that counts. No matter how much knowledge we're surrounded by, it will never be enough to dethrone the demons of the past. It's when we 'breathe the life of practice' into that knowledge that it truly becomes a force to be reckoned with.
So let us explain the simple formula we're alluding to because we are confident it's all you really need to know… Knowledge + Application = Experience (Personal Power) … When one starts out on the road of personal growth it is with the desire to leave behind one's unwanted and often out-dated moods, tendencies, fears, anxieties, doubt, panic and much more. There are those who take the journey simply to find out who they really are. Whatever the motivation, we are all seeking to feel better in our own skins. In order to achieve that, increasing our knowledge is a must. By increasing knowledge, our awareness and understanding will expand too. As a result we can then see, smell and taste the promise of a better tomorrow. Unfortunately, many want the fulfilment of that promise today! This urge (impatience) becomes so strong that their new-found awareness and understanding can quite quickly become replaced by dissatisfaction which can even become anger and despair. These feelings often lead to a relapse, back into the old and familiar, so instead of enjoying the euphoria of countless possibilities offered by the newly discovered knowledge, the individual can once again find herself snared by self loathing, fear, pain, panic, guilt, procrastination etc…Why?…Usually it's because they've not crossed the bridge from 'Knowing to Doing'. They've seen and been seduced by the prize but they haven't really understood what's required to transform the self. Application is the missing link. The new and unchartered will remain just that without the application of knowledge.
It is often some form of life-challenge that clouds our judgement, obscures our vision, causing us to stumble and with that become disheartened. Life-challenges come in many forms: our relationships, the demands of work, ageing, illness, depression, change in circumstances etc… It is at this point where knowledge alone is rarely enough and therefore relapse(s) can occur. If on the other hand there has been application of that knowledge, personal power increases, which offers the opportunity to 'choose' the new and unchartered rather than slip back to tiresome and ineffectual patterns and tendencies. So practice is the key – this is a message that has echoed through eternity. Excellence is a virtue that has been repeatedly applied.
It often takes faith and courage to move from being an intellectual and theorist to becoming a humble practitioner of the principles for self-transformation. Having understood the message, one needs to simply jump – take a leap of faith, because only then can you truly 'know'. There is a level of knowing and understanding that is beyond books, workshops and conversations. It is a knowing that sees beyond the limitations of logic and the senses but how can we know this for ourselves…? The answer is through practice because without our own experience, that 'intuitive knowing' remains beyond our grasp. This is why we urge you to practise what you know, removing the contradictions from your life, and to become passionate about "doing the right thing". Follow the moral compass offered to you by your heart. Practise being still and listen and you will hear and feel its guidance. The more you apply knowledge the more experienced you become and it is that experience that allows you to peer into the unknown, see the unseen, hear the unspoken and feel that which has yet to be written. This kind of experience offers unimaginable knowledge and insight, which then takes you further down the road of personal growth. This allows you, instead of being driven by your life, to take the wheel and drive for yourself.
So don't get caught up in the promise of the modern age, looking for the 'magic bullet', the one thing offering a solution to everything. Realise that any knowledge that leads you away from synergy, integration and inner peace is best viewed with suspicion. Trust your heart more but don't ignore your head, listen carefully to both and you'll feel the truth when you are in its company. Try not to act from a place of desperation because usually both your ears and your brain are disengaged at that point. We spoke earlier of applying the 'right' knowledge and this is a contentious issue because one can always ask what is "right" knowledge? Until you've discovered for yourself what is right, we offer you a simple formula. If the knowledge 'feels' right to you, trust yourself and apply it in your life. The fruit of your choices will then make themselves known. You will in time see for yourself whether it was indeed 'right'. This is where both faith and courage are needed because there are some things you cannot know without leaping into the dark and finding out. Don't be afraid to make mistakes or to risk looking silly, for the prize of peace, contentment and a truly fulfilled life awaits you. Knowledge + Application = Personal Power. The personal power that is generated will carry you fearlessly into a life that is new and full of promise…Dare to take this journey: you won't regret it for a moment.


The cancelation of ARTBA's 2017 National Convention, which was scheduled Sept. 17-20 in Florida, due to Hurricane Irma means the association's four regional meetings this fall are extra important.
Senior ARTBA staff at each meeting will provide a status report on congressional efforts to find a permanent revenue fix for the Highway Trust Fund and pass a new transportation infrastructure package; update federal regulatory developments; and share a comprehensive analysis of current transportation construction market conditions. State and local agency officials will also be on hand to discuss their respective transportation programs.

Security guards manning public places will be licensed to carry firearms while on duty after fresh training, Private Security Regulatory CEO Fazul Mohammed announced on Friday.
In a press conference held at Railway grounds, Fazul cited various issues that will be handled before the guards could be allowed to carry firearms.
A proper and rigorous security vetting for all private security officers working in the industry will be done.
Also, a drafted curriculum which will be mandatory for all officers working within the private security industry. The curriculum will emphasize on counter-terrorism.
He stated that the guards would be offered proper minimum wage, "the issue of the salary is very key because if we give a salary to an officer who is not well renumerated, the firearm might be misused."
He added that they wanted to make sure that all private companies paid a minimum wage of Kshs15,000, extra hours Kshs8,700, house allowance of Kshs2000 and responsibility allowance. All this accumulates to at least Ksh25,000.
Fazul stated that people from the national police, national counter-terrorism, national defense, national intelligence would be included, the whole idea being to integrate officers into the national assembly.
When asked if issuing firearms might increase the crime rate, Fazul stated that everyone issued with firearms will have ballistic tests taken and at some point, the government will know who has which firearm and what they are doing with it.
He added, after shifts, the firearms will be taken to the company management for safe keeping.

Toms River East returns to the Little League World Series (Little League via Instagram)
Toms River East will not be playing today at the Little League World Series in Williamsport because Sunday's game between Michigan and Texas was postponed by rain on Sunday. The New Jersey champs, who stayed alive in the double elimination tournament with a dramatic come-from-behind win on Saturday, will play the loser of today's Michigan-Texas game on Tuesday at 3pm at Lamade Stadium. That game will be televised live on ESPN.
By losing their first game last Thursday Toms River East has put themselves in a position where they cannot lose again if they hope to play for the championship. They would likely have to win four consecutive games beginning Tuesday to earn a spot in Sunday's LLWS Championship game.

The brief called for the opposite of what was existing, ie ARB's offices should be transparent, fresh, friendly, lean, modern and serious.The design response has been to make a new Weymouth Street entrance (and hence address), remove as many internal doors and walls as possible, and to provide a continuous flexible open plan working environment with an 'island' service core and boardroom.

Haplogroup E-V38, also known as E1b1a-V38, is a human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup. E-V38 is primarily distributed in sub-Saharan Africa. E-V38 has two basal branches, E-M329 and E-M2. E-M329 is a subclade mostly found in East Africa. E-M2 is the predominant subclade in West Africa, Central Africa, Southern Africa, and the region of African Great Lakes; it also occurs at moderate frequencies in some parts of North Africa, West Asia, and Southern Europe.

Origins

The discovery of two SNPs (V38 and V100) by Trombetta et al. (2011) significantly redefined the E-V38 phylogenetic tree. This led the authors to suggest that E-V38 may have originated in East Africa. V38 joins the West African-affiliated E-M2 and the Northeast African-affiliated E-M329 with an earlier common ancestor who, like E-P2, may have also originated in East Africa. The downstream SNP E-M180 may have originated in the humid south-central Saharan savanna/grassland of North Africa between 14,000 BP and 10,000 BP. According to Wood et al. (2005) and Rosa et al. (2007), such population movements changed the pre-existing population Y chromosomal diversity in Central, Southern, and Southeastern Africa, replacing the previous haplogroup frequencies in these areas with the now dominant E1b1a1 lineages. Traces of earlier inhabitants, however, can be observed today in these regions via the presence of the Y DNA haplogroups A1a, A1b, A2, A3, and B-M60 that are common in certain populations, such as the Mbuti and Khoisan.

Ancient DNA

Gad et al. (2021) indicates that Ramesses III and Unknown Man E, possibly Pentawere, carried haplogroup E1b1a.

At Cabeço da Amoreira, in Portugal, an enslaved West African man, who may have been from the Senegambian coastal region of Gambia, Mauritania, or Senegal, and carried haplogroups E1b1a and L3b1a, was buried among shell middens between the 16th century CE and the 18th century CE.

Distribution

E-V38's frequency and diversity are highest in West Africa. Within Africa, E-V38 displays a west-to-east as well as a south-to-north clinal distribution. In other words, the frequency of the haplogroup decreases as one moves from western and southern Africa toward the eastern and northern parts of Africa.

Subclades

E1b1a1

E1b1a1 is defined by markers DYS271/M2/SY81, M291, P1/PN1, P189, P293, V43, and V95. E-M2 is a diverse haplogroup with many branches.

E1b1a2

E1b1a2 is defined by the SNP mutation M329. E-M329 is mostly found in East Africa. E-M329 is also frequent in Southwestern Ethiopia, especially among Omotic-speaking populations.

Phylogenetics

Phylogenetic history

Prior to 2002, there were in academic literature at least seven naming systems for the Y-Chromosome Phylogenetic tree. This led to considerable confusion. In 2002, the major research groups came together and formed the Y-Chromosome Consortium (YCC). They published a joint paper that created a single new tree that all agreed to use. Later, a group of citizen scientists with an interest in population genetics and genetic genealogy formed a working group to create an amateur tree aiming at being above all timely.  The table below brings together all of these works at the point of the landmark 2002 YCC Tree. This allows a researcher reviewing older published literature to quickly move between nomenclatures.

Research publications

The following research teams per their publications were represented in the creation of the YCC tree.

Phylogenetic trees

This phylogenetic tree of haplogroup  subclades is based on the Y-Chromosome Consortium (YCC) 2008 Tree, the ISOGG Y-DNA Haplogroup E Tree, and subsequent published research.

 E1b1a (L222.1, V38, V100)
 E1b1a1 (DYS271/M2/SY81, M291, P1/PN1, P189, P293, V43, V95, Z1101, Z1107, Z1116, Z1120, Z1122, Z1123, Z1124, Z1125, Z1127, Z1130, Z1133)

Sitara also took to Instagram to share a note remembering her grandfather. In her post, Sitara shared a picture with her grandfather and wrote, "Weekday lunch will never be the same again….. You taught me so many valuable things… always made me smile. Now all that's left is my memory of you. You're my hero… I hope I can make you proud someday. I'll miss you so much Thatha garu… (broken heart emoji)."
Meanwhile, people queued up at Padmalaya Studio to see the superstar for time and pay their last respects.
Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy and leaders cutting across party lines paid their respects to Krishna.
Fans descended to Padmalaya Studio in large numbers to catch the last glimpse of the actor, who acted in about 350 films in a career spanning over five decades.
Telangana Governor and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister consoled Mahesh Babu, son-in-law and MP Galla Jayadev and other family members.
Krishna's last rites will be performed with state honours later in the day at Mahaprasthanam in Jubilee Hills.
Tamilisai told reporters that Krishna's service to the film industry will always be remembered. "Looking at the large number of fans who have turned out here, I could see the pulse of people," she said.
On Tuesday celebrities like Allu Arjun, Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Vijay Deverakonda, Ram Charan and others visited Krishna's house to pay their tribute.
Ghattamaneni Siva Rama Krishna Murthy or Krishna was born on May 31, 1942, at Burripalem in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh. He debuted as the lead actor with the 1965 movie 'Thene Manasulu'.

What We Learned from 49ers vs. Bengals
Photos: San Francisco 49ers vs. Cincinnati Bengals
View select images from the San Francisco 49ers Week 15 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The San Francisco 49ers committed four turnovers and lost for the fourth time in their last five games, falling to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, 24-14.
With the defeat, the 49ers are now 4-10 on the season. They will return to action next week in Detroit when they battle the Lions.
Here's what we learned from the team's performance versus Cincinnati.
Comeback Falls Short
The 49ers trailed by 21 points at halftime but fought back at the end of the game to make things close.
Bruce Miller notched his first career rushing touchdown to get San Francisco on the board. The fullback plowed in from 1-yard out after Anquan Boldin moved the 49ers into the red zone with a 29-yard grab.
After a Phil Dawson field goal was blocked, San Francisco responded on its next possession by marching 72 yards in 11 plays for another score. Torrey Smith kept the drive alive with a 17-yard catch on third down off of a tipped pass. Moments later, Blaine Gabbert found Boldin in the back of the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown strike.
Trailing by 10 points with two minutes remaining in regulation, the 49ers kicked onsides and recovered the loose ball. Nick Bellore came up with the football at the bottom of the pile.
The rally ended, however, when the Bengals picked off Gabbert near the end zone on a pass intended for Jerome Simpson.
Gabbert finished his day 30-of-50 passing for 295 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions. Two of those picks came on deflected passes. Boldin led the team with eight catches for 74 yards, although he fumbled once. The veteran now sits one reception away from 1,000 on his career.
Williams Leads Strong Defensive Showing
San Francisco allowed three touchdowns on Sunday, but the 24 points the Bengals scored were a bit deceiving.
Only one of Cincinnati's drives that resulted in points went longer than 36 yards. Instead, the Bengals capitalized on good field position multiple times to find the end zone. Turnovers and special teams set Cincinnati up for success, but the 49ers defense managed to hang tough.
Ian Williams had a monster day on the field, drawing two holding penalties, forcing and recovering a fumble and tallying a sack.
NaVorro Bowman continued his Pro Bowl-caliber season as well, finishing Sunday with a game-high 12 tackles, including one for loss on a fourth-down snap.
Ahmad Brooks, Jimmie Ward and Eric Reid all had sacks on AJ McCarron as well.
Overall, San Francisco limited Cincinnati to 242 total yards and 14 first downs.
Rotation Changes
With Alex Boone inactive, Andrew Tiller got the start at left guard while Marcus Martin moved over to right guard. Daniel Kilgore, who missed the first three months of the season while rehabbing a leg injury, received his first start of the year at center.
With Aaron Lynch sidelined, Eli Harold was announced as the team's starting outside linebacker opposite Brooks. Corey Lemonier and Garrett Celek also mixed in at the position in different situations. Harold recorded a tackle for loss and a quarterback hit on the day.
Other changes included Dontae Johnson replacing starter Kenneth Acker at cornerback at various points on Sunday.
Shaun Draughn suffered a knee injury in the first half and did not return to the game. Before getting hurt, the running back carried the ball nine times for 38 yards and caught one pass for four yards.
Travaris Cadet and Kendall Gaskins filled the void after Draughn's departure. Gaskins caught six passes for 52 yards.
Martin sustained a head injury in the second half and was later diagnosed with a concussion. The 49ers adjusted their offensive line by moving Erik Pears right guard and inserting rookie Trent Brown at right tackle.

The Fight and the Swap
Published on May 17, 2018by Kelly Vance
Air Force veteran Douglas "DJ" Jordan suddenly went missing in 2013.
At the age of 51, Retired Master Sergeant Douglas "DJ" Jordan already knew he needed a liver transplant. He just hadn't told his family.He'd shared the news with a close network of friends and colleagues, but he hadn't told his family.
"I didn't want them to worry," he said. "But I had everything planned. I had my go bag sitting on the living room table. I drilled with my friends what would happen when I got the call. We had it all worked out who was going to pick me up and drive me to Baltimore when the call came. We just hadn't planned on me losing my memory."
"That's how my family found out I needed a transplant."
On Sept. 11, 2013, DJ went missing. Some people's absence could go unnoticed for days or weeks, but DJ was known as a man who was always on time and always dependable. When he didn't show up for his 9 a.m. meeting with a friend on Sept. 12, everyone knew there was something wrong.
"When I didn't show up, he called me, he texted me, he emailed me – he tried everything," DJ said.
Finally, the friend called DJ's sister to say DJ was missing. And that he was on the liver transplant list, expecting the call at any time.
"That's how my family found out I needed a transplant," DJ said.
A Silver Alert was issued that DJ was missing from Alexandria and was in medical distress. The problem was, DJ wasn't anywhere near Alexandria anymore. He didn't know where he was. Or who he was. Or that he needed help.
'I think this is me'
"Suffering from memory loss brought on by his rapidly failing liver, DJ had driven 100 miles south to Richmond, finally abandoning his car on the side of Interstate 95 when it ran out of gas.
He left the car on the side of the road, walked across the interstate, slid down a hill and wandered into the city. There he walked back and forth on the same city block all night. He sat in the road. At some point the next morning, he got on a bus. He ate at Buffalo Wild Wings. He lost his car keys in one part of the city and his cell phone miles away in another part.
"That was the last thing I remember."
He walked in circles around the outside of a Walmart. He went into Staples and bought a box of chalk. And after two days, someone recognized him from the Silver Alert and called the police.
Paramedics found him sitting in the parking lot of a shopping center, eating chalk.
"This was after two days. It was Friday the 13th. I was sitting in the parking lot of the Walmart shopping center there eating chalk. The paramedics were approaching me and one said "Sir, are you in need of any medical attention?' But I didn't even know my name."
"They put me up in the ambulance and noticed my wallet was in my back pocket and in there was my military ID and my driver's license. I handed it to him and said "I think this is me. That was the last thing I remember."
DJ was taken immediately to the University of Maryland's Transplant Center where he found out that now he needed not just a liver, but a kidney as well. His failing liver had stressed out his kidneys to the point of failure and he needed two transplants.
DJ and Chris in the hospital.
He was fighting for his life.
Just as time was running out, DJ received both a liver and a kidney only 2 days after his rescue.
Things were finally looking up. Until they weren't.
'He's going to die'
The liver worked but DJ developed serious medical problems from the kidney. Fortunately, doctors hadn't removed DJ's badly functioning native kidneys so when the transplanted organ failed, they removed it, allowing DJ to continue living, albeit badly, on his original failing organs.
Six months later, he was on dialysis three days a week for six hours a day.
DJ's brother Chris asked the doctor if he could be tested as a donor and the doctor indicated he had better hurry.
"The doctor told me 'DJ needs a kidney bad,'" Chris said. "And then he just gave me a look like it was real serious. And I knew he meant that if he doesn't get a kidney soon, he's going to die."
Chris got tested but he wasn't a close enough match. So the doctor explained about the swap program.
Through the program, Chris would donate his kidney to someone else on the waiting list and start a chain reaction that would ultimately result in finding a living donor match for DJ.
"It is so amazing that there are people on dialysis who don't even know about swap program," DJ said. "There are so many people who need kidneys and they know nothing about it."
Within an hour of signing up, the matches started coming in.
But then, DJ's health began to fail.
DJ's heart started filling with fluid – he wasn't healthy enough for a transplant so he was taken out of the swap and put back on dialysis.
For five more months.
Chris Jordan gave his kidney to Brian Popp.
The Swap
Finally, in September, they entered the swap again. And on Sept. 3, 2014 – just a few days shy of the anniversary of his first transplant, DJ got his new kidney, courtesy of Chris and two strangers.
Chris' kidney went to Brian, a chemistry professor at the University of Wisconsin. Brian's brother-in-law Neil, in turn, donated his kidney to a woman named Alejandra in Bethpage, New York. In exchange, Alejandra's daughter Mariel donated a kidney to DJ.
"It just blew my mind."
"It just blew my mind," DJ said. "The organ can only be out of one body for a certain amount of time before it's transplanted into another body. Everything had to fall into place in timing."
'This needs to be told'
This June, a local production company will begin shooting a documentary about DJ and the five other people who traded kidneys with him.
"There are so many bad things happening now, racism and sexism and things, that this needs to be told," DJ said. "This is a great story."
One of the goals, DJ said, is to make sure people know about the swap program and especially to let prospective living donors know that they don't have to pay the cost themselves.
For Chris though, it's also important to change people's minds before they're sitting where he was.
"To be honest with you, I never thought about donating my organs to anyone," Chris said. "When you go into the license bureau, they ask you if you want to donate your organs and I would defiantly say 'No.'"
"I never thought about donating my organs to anyone."
It wasn't until Chris looked into the doctor's eyes that his mind was suddenly and dramatically changed.
"Of course now my thinking is totally different."
"If something tragic were to happen to me, I might have good organs that might not be used," he said. "You can't take them with you. It's just a waste. You could do something good even out of a tragic situation."
For DJ, the roundabout route to his new healthy body wasn't a waste of time and energy, but an amazing life experience.

University of Florida Apologizes After Black Students Yanked off Graduation Stage
| May 7, 2018
Commencement is generally a time of happiness, but for some African-American graduates at the University of Florida in Gainesville, their celebration during the ceremony led to being manhandled by a school official.
The students said they were "strolling," a tradition common among Black fraternities, when they received their degrees Saturday before a graduation marshal forced them off the stage, TIME reports.
Videos showing the students being yanked off the stage went viral online, with many people calling out the school.
To the people who feel UF is justified in pushing people off the stage because they were "dancing". 1. He had no right to touch any student like that 2. He also pushed a girl who was just trying to take a selfie and 3. LET PEOPLE CELEBRATE THIER GRADUATION. #IsItGreatUF? pic.twitter.com/iVmrgeqTXz

Kent Fuchs, president of the University of Florida, apologized for the incident on Twitter and said he would contact each student involved.
"During one of this weekend's commencement ceremonies, we were inappropriately aggressive in rushing students across the stage," he wrote. "I personally apologize, and am reaching out to the students involved."

Oliver Telusma, 21, told the Gainesville Sun that he was embarrassed when the usher grabbed him under his arm.
"I had just started … and he picked me up and turned me around, which I thought was kind of embarrassing and degrading to be handled in that manner," Telusma said. "It was just really uncalled for, especially for anyone not martially trained to do that."
On Sunday, Fuchs said that students don't have to be worried about it happening during future ceremonies as the "practice has been halted."
The practice has been halted for all future ceremonies, and we will work to make sure all graduating students know we are proud of their achievements and celebrate with them their graduation. (2/2)

A North Carolina State University professor apologized after handing out a paper that suggested students "block Fox News" from family members. "When they're not looking, set the parental controls on the TVs of your family members to block Fox News," the handout said. "Fox News spreads bigotry and hatred." . . Michaela DeSoucey, a Professor at North Carolina State University handed this paper out to her students, telling them to block Fox News and follow liberal commentators to name a few.
"Just as it can be offensive or even harassing to make up a nickname for someone and call them that nickname against their will, it can be offensive or harassing to guess at someone's pronouns and refer to them using those pronouns if that is not how that person wants to be known," . . .

What happens when a mid-sized city loses its last daily newspaper? Guelph, Ontario offers a case study
"This problem is creeping up the ladder, from the small town that has 10,000 people to the decent-sized community that has 50,000 people to, now, a place that has over 100,000."
By Ricardo Bilton @rbilton Feb. 3, 2017, 10:34 a.m.
For newspapers, death comes slowly, then all at once. One year ago, Canadian newspaper company Metroland Media announced that the 149-year-old "intensely local" Guelph Mercury, one of the oldest newspapers in the country, would stop publishing its print edition. The announcement came on a Monday; on Friday, Jan. 29, the paper printed its last issue, and Guelph lost its last daily newspaper.
A new report suggests 12 ways Canada can strengthen its struggling news ecosystem
Joseph Lichterman
In many ways, the outline of the Mercury's decline is a standard one for the industry: Torstar, Metroland's parent company, said that its print advertising revenue dipped 13 percent from 2014 to 2015, echoing declines felt at newspaper companies across the board. It was an afternoon paper, a type of daily that's been particularly endangered for decades, and it counted just 9,000 subscribers at the time it stopped publishing, a 25 percent decline from two years prior.
But most North American newspapers have adapted to revenue and circulation declines by shrinking — not by closing altogether. And the Guelph Mercury story also diverges when you consider Guelph itself. The city's population, 121,688 according to Canada's 2011 census, grew at an average of 1.58 percent per year from 2009 to 2013, outpacing Ontario overall, according to official city data. It has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country and is home to the University of Guelph. In other words, it's the kind of market that, by conventional metrics, should be able to support a daily newspaper. This makes the Guelph Mercury's closing either a natural extension of current trends — or the start of a disturbing new one.
"A lot of the communities that have been newspaper-less up to this point have been far smaller. What you're seeing is that this problem is creeping up the ladder, from the small town that has 10,000 people to the decent-sized community that has 50,000 people to, now, a place that has over 100,000," said Lee Shaker, an assistant professor at Portland State University who researches the civic and social effects of municipalities losing their news sources. "The trend in the industry hasn't been for newspapers to completely collapse in this way."

The closing of the Mercury left a void that, a year later, has yet to be filled. Like most local papers, the Mercury provided near-daily coverage of local government, doing its share of watchdog work. It was also a pillar of the community, running or sponsoring events such as an annual book donation event for children and a Thanksgiving charity marathon.
"The paper did a good job of putting its money where its mouth was and saying, 'We're a part of this community and a leader in this community and an investor in this community,'" said Phil Andrews, who was the paper's managing editor when it shut down. (He's now a communications consultant at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs, as well as the editor of a new book project showcasing the work of former Mercury employees.)

— Phil Andrews (@PhilAndrews519) January 23, 2017
But Andrews said he was more concerned about what the Mercury's demise has meant for enterprising coverage of city government, which he and others interviewed for this story say has decreased significantly without the daily. (One example of the Mercury's past work: The newspaper won a National Newspaper Award in 2010 for an investigative series called "The Hole Truth," which investigated the local gravel industry.)
"It was a real source of pride among the staff," Andrews said, "that we tried to punch above our weight in delivering deeper context to the community on things we felt it had to grapple with."
Guelph, despite losing its last daily newspaper, isn't entirely without local news sources, albeit comparatively less ambitious ones. After it shut down the Mercury, Metroland rebranded The Guelph Tribune, its twice-weekly free community newspaper, as The Guelph Mercury Tribune, largely in an effort to capitalize on the Mercury's brand and existing digital audience. (The hybrid newspaper retained the Mercury's domain rather than adopt a new one.) The paper, however, isn't home to a lot of in-depth reporting. This may be a function of the Mercury Tribune's staff size: While the Guelph Mercury had seven reporters on its final day, the Guelph Mercury Tribune has just three, according to its staff directory.
Still, Donna Luelo, the Mercury Tribune's publisher, argues the twice-weekly paper is still able to provide significant local coverage, even though the new print product lacks the national and international wire stories that were important to some Mercury subscribers. "Online, we are able to do the same work, publishing international, national and local news, including breaking news," she wrote in an email. She said that in the past year, the Mercury Tribune's page count and news columns for local coverage have both increased. And unlike the Mercury, most households get the Mercury Tribune for free.
Another attempt to fill the void came from local news network Village Media, which just days after the Mercury closed hired a pair of the newspaper's reporters and its top salesperson to launch GuelphToday.com. Village Media, which runs four other news sites focused on mid-sized Ontario communities, saw an opportunity to successfully apply its model to Guelph, which "has a real sense of community. People love it, and love to talk about it," said Village Media CEO Jeff Elgie. "It shocks me that [Metroland] couldn't make a daily newspaper in a market like that work."
But while GuelphToday.com's entry has been encouraging for Guelph residents, the site realizes it can't replicate what came before it, at least not in the short-term. In-depth pieces are a rare occurrence on the site, a reality that isn't lost on Tony Saxon, the site's community editor and a former Mercury reporter. "Obviously, we would like to have the resources to do more in-depth pieces and longer stories. We just don't have the time to do it," said Saxon. Instead, GuelphToday.com's primary focus has been on, in Saxon's words, "a hodgepodge of softer stories" that readers want and respond to. "You have to cover the hard news, but you also have to be very conscious of what gets really good readership," he said.
Phil Andrews praised GuelphToday.com, which he said has, in a short time and with limited resources, become "the go-to website for local current news developments and reporting" for the city. But those limited resources also limit the site's ability to beef up its reporting staff and cover big stories. "At the Guelph Mercury, we routinely engaged in enterprising journalism that would pause the community and have them confront something with a lot more context," said Andrews. "Those types of value-added journalistic products are exponentially fewer with the removal of the daily newspaper in the market."
The overall disparity in coverage has not gone unnoticed among Guelph residents, some of whom have attempted to fill the news coverage gap on their own. Sites such as Guelph Politico, Guelph Bugle, and Guelph Speaks, which predate the Mercury's closing, have dialed up their coverage of local politics and culture, in part to make up for some of the losses felt by the community. Chris Clark, a former Guelph Tribune editor, has also become a local news source on Twitter. Royal City Matters, which used Facebook to cover Guelph municipal politics, published for just a few months in 2016.
"If you look at Facebook or Twitter, you see a lot of people asking,'There's an issue here, so why isn't somebody looking at it?' Most of the time they're talking about things that someone who has a beat at the local paper probably would be covering," said Adam Donaldson, founder of Guelph Politico.
Donaldson, who works on the site alone, realizes he can't possibly fill the void left by the Mercury, so he's attempted to differentiate his coverage by leaning less on text and more on audio and video. Guelph Politicast, the site's podcast, runs interviews with local politicians and activists (Donald interviewed Phil Andrews in the most recent episode). Donaldson has also used Facebook Live to broadcast live recaps of city council meetings.
Guelph is slightly younger than the rest of Ontario (the median age is 37.7 years, according to census data, with University of Guelph students pushing the median age down further), so a print-dominant business might have been a tougher sell there than in other markets. But its relative wealth — it has the fifth-highest median household income in Canada, well above Toronto, Montréal, or Vancouver — should be a countervailing force.
"Guelph could absolutely support a daily newspaper — if people wanted one," said Guelph Today's Saxon. "The money is here, the advertising revenue is here, but quite frankly, people didn't want it. It's great to be nostalgic and romantic, and we all love newspapers, but there's a reality to what people want, and you have to pay attention to that if you want to be a viable news business."
It's too early to say what the long-term ramifications are for the newspaper-less Guelph, but the question of what happens to towns and cities when they lose their newspapers is a major one among media researchers. In research published last summer, Rachel Howells, a research student at Cardiff University, surveyed the journalistic hole left when the Welsh town of Port Talbot lost its weekly newspaper. Her findings suggested a connection between the loss of local journalism, decreased awareness of local news among citizens, and, in turn, decreased levels of democratic engagement.
"As people migrate from relying on traditional media to the digital media environment, they become more disconnected from their communities, they know less about their communities, and they're less engaged in those communities, which is all concerning," said Portland State University's Shaker. "If a community loses its newspaper, it stops being its own place. It becomes a satellite of something of something else, rather than having its own core identity."
These concerns are real, but there's still cautious optimism among those invested in building the future of local coverage in Guelph. "I always say that the good thing about the present difficulties with the media is that there's no right answer, so you can try anything and see if it works," said Donaldson of Guelph Politico. "In the immediate term, it seems like a rocky road ahead."

Movie Review – All My Life (2020)
December 3, 2020 by Robert Kojder
FacebookTwitterFlipboardRedditPinterestWhatsApp
All My Life, 2020.
Directed by Marc Meyers.
Starring Jessica Rothe, Harry Shum Jr., Michael Masini, Chrissie Fit, Greg Vrotsos, Ever Carradine, Marielle Scott, Jay Pharoah, Kyle Allen, Keala Settle, Josh Brener, and Jon Rudnitsky.
A couple's wedding plans are thrown off course when the groom is diagnosed with liver cancer.
Any time a modern-day mainstream romance bringing to life a true story of heartbreak announces itself as a tearjerker where one of the lovebirds falls ill with a terminal illness, I think I speak for most critics appropriately when I say that we are conditioned to fear the worst; something cloying, saccharine, and mawkish, that leaves no stone unturned in its emotional manipulation. So with that in mind, it's a pleasant surprise to report All My Life has some restraint when it comes to the inevitable sadness, and more importantly, actual respect in telling the story of these real people.
Perhaps that has something to do with Director Marc Meyers, who seems to almost be as busy as Steve McQueen, having already released two movies earlier this year (We Summon the Darkness and Human Capital). Neither of those movies suggested he would be interested in tackling a romance, but if you bring enough human authenticity to any project it's bound to go over well. It's the exact reason his look at the high school senior days of Jeffrey Dahmer in My Friend Dahmer worked (and you should absolutely check that movie out if you have any interest in the subject); he is not concerned with the elements people expect from these stories but rather something that feels sincere.
There is also an ear-to-the-ground level of awareness in casting Jessica Rothe as one half of the relationship, previously breaking out onto the scene with the Happy Death Day movies proving herself to be magnetic, bubbly, charming, and radiant in personality. Some may view taking a role in a movie like All My Life as a step backward in her young career, but the gamble pays off as she is just as winningly likable here under a different set of circumstances. She takes the simplest of scenes such as bartering rooming arrangements or synchronized teeth brushing and injects them with a cutesy pulse like a born Hollywood star. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I would happily watch more romantic comedies and actually look forward to them if they starred Jessica Rothe.
She's not the only gem here as Harry Shum Jr. makes for a talented discovery (he doesn't seem to have done much aside from supporting roles in my sphere of experience), playing the handsomely flirtatious Sol who quickly wins Jennifer over in a bar meet-cute. Unfortunately, the path of the story doesn't give Jennifer much to do aside from shape Solomon into a more dream chasing and driven person. His desire is to be a chef, something he has pretty much given up on at the start of the narrative, settling for a soul-crushing job in digital marketing. Jennifer uses Thanksgiving to reignite his spark for cooking and family connections to get Sol's foot in the door, all as true love continues to blossom in ways that feel condensed for time, but believable due to the chemistry between them.
As marriage ceremony plans are underway, a tumor is found inside Sol's liver upending what is a highly expensive endeavor, placing those funds into hospital bills. Obviously, All My Life seems like the kind of film where Sol's death is all but guaranteed, but there is some second-guessing as Marc Meyers doesn't seem to be interested in telling a story about that fate. Instead, the filmmaker wisely sticks to a respectable balance between the struggles and medicinal side effects with the lovebirds pushing forward with fundraisers to have their wedding just in case things take another turn for the worse.
There's a devastating scene where Sol loses his sense of taste, which initially appears to be the worst thing that could ever happen to an aspiring chef. Beautifully, Jennifer reminds him that it could have been worse; Sol could have lost his ability to see her, hear her, or feel her touch. And maybe it is a cheesy scene, but it's also a thoughtful one that cemented my recommendation of All My Life. Yes, there are subplots involving friends and family (including one close to Sol that has PTSD from recently going through an emotionally draining experience with a terminally ill father) that feel undercooked, and while the aforementioned scene is terrific it still feels like more could be done with the dynamic of Sol being a chef losing the ability to do what he loves, the central performances from Jessica Rothe and Harry Shum Jr, and the general tone rarely make a mistake. It's the infrequent romance about an illness that respects both the audience and its real-life subjects.

Florida has an adequate anti-SLAPP law. It was enacted in 2000.
Florida Fla. Stat. 768.295 (2011) Y6 Y ? ? ?
6"Free speech in connection with public issues" means any written or oral statement that is protected under applicable law and is made before a governmental entity in connection with an issue under consideration or review by a governmental entity, or is made in or in connection with a play, movie, television program, radio broadcast, audiovisual work, book, magazine article, musical work, news report, or other similar work.
FLA. STAT. §§ 768.295 (2000) & 720.304 (2000)
Section 768.295 protects peaceful assembly, instructing representatives or petitioning for redress of grievances from lawsuits brought by the government.
Section 720.304 protects statements made by parcel owners about matters concerning their homeowners association.
In October of 2008, the Florida Supreme Court decided in Jews for Jesus, Inc., v. Rapp, 997 So. 2d 1098 (2008) that the tort of false light invasion of privacy would not be available in Florida. The court held that, unlike the claim of defamation which has First Amendment protections built in, the tort of false light has no such protections. Although the court has noted that "one argument often advanced to support the recognition of false light is that, unlike defamation, it allows recovery for literally true statements that create a false impression," it also noted that the tort of defamation already incorporates the concept that "literally true statements can be defamatory where they create a false impression." As such, the court concluded that the tort of false light should not be available in Florida. See the amicus curiae (friend of the court) brief opposing the recognition of the tort here.

Florida's broader anti-SLAPP law effective July 1, 2015
From Phelps Dunbar LLP at Lexology:
"Effective July 1, 2015, Florida will have broader prohibitions against SLAPP suits, or "strategic lawsuits against public participation." Many states have enacted anti-SLAPP laws to prevent companies and government entities from filing frivolous lawsuits against their critics. For example, when a citizen or consumer posts a negative comment about a governmental program or a company's services, the entity subject to the criticism may choose to file a defamation or infringement lawsuit against the individual who posted the comment. Such lawsuits have become more prevalent due to the popularity of websites geared towards consumer reviews, such as yelp.com."

RCFP: Bill enhancing Florida's anti-SLAPP law heads to governor for approval
From Kimberly Chow at RCFP:
"A Florida bill that would revise the state's narrow anti-SLAPP law to provide a greater level of protection for speakers against meritless lawsuits has passed both houses of the legislature and now awaits Gov. Rick Scott's signature.
Florida's anti-SLAPP law, Fla. Stat. § 768.295, currently only provides for the speedy dismissal of SLAPP suits when such frivolous suits are filed by government entities. In practice, "strategic lawsuits against public participation," or SLAPPs, are filed by a wide range of plaintiffs, with far more deleterious effects on speakers than just those suits brought by the government.
How Does A Negative Amazon Review Result In Threats Of A Lawsuit?
Writing a product review on Amazon is usually a pretty mundane process: Pick a star rating, leave a few words, hit "submit," and immediately forget about it. For one man, though, the process just got a whole lot more interesting (in the bad way). Eight months after a Florida man panned a product online, the company's lawyer delivered a fresh new legal threat to his doorstep — retract the review, or face a libel suit.
