Made possible by generous support from Dominion Energy, Malone University has been commissioned to create a series of videos for K-4 students that teach about the environment. The Virtual Environment project, funded by the $4,700 grant, will give current and future teachers a way to bring quality, realistic, and experiential education into the in-person or remote classroom.
"As educators, we are striving to find ways to give our students meaningful experiences in the classroom during this unprecedented time of virtual learning," said Nancy Varian, director of the Center for Professional Development at Malone. "Our project, 'Virtual Environment: Bring the Outside Inside' enables us to share educational content about the environment through videos and interviews for the classroom."
Malone is one of 118 organizations selected for this year's Dominion Energy environmental stewardship grants. The competitive grants support education and stewardship projects that preserve, enhance, or make nature more accessible.
"These grants support programs and people dedicated to making our world a better, more livable place for future generations," said Hunter A. Applewhite, president of the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation. "It's a privilege to support these community efforts to improve the environment and provide environmental education opportunities."
The Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation has awarded $1.3 million in grants to organizations working to improve natural spaces or teach about the environment. Over the last 15 years, Dominion Energy has donated over $37 million to a wide variety of environmental projects across its footprint.

Rome Airport pickup service Hotel Guide
Rome, the capital of Italy, is known for its rich history and culture, as well as its significance in Catholicism. The city has existed since ancient times, and those who visit can learn about the glorious history and glory of the Roman Empire. The city is home to thousands of years of history, a rich cultural heritage, and beautiful churches. Visiting Rome is on the bucket list of many people simply because there are so many well-known attractions there, including the Vatican City and the ruins of the ancient Colosseum, as well as the Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navona. The city of Rome has convenient public transportation and many attractions are within walking distance from each other. For this reason, visitors can often travel by subway or bus.
A compact 3 to 4 day trip allows time to visit all of Rome's top attractions, but 5 days are more appropriate if you see more or have a lighter schedule. Because Rome's sights are mostly monuments and sculptures, it's highly recommended that visitors prepare in advance or rent audio guides to learn more about the sites that they visit. When traveling around Rome, visitors can also opt to buy a Roma Pass. It can be used for free subway and bus rides, as well as visiting two attractions for free. Another benefit of the pass is that it allows visitors to skip the ticket lines.
Walking in Rome, you may be surprised by the amount of squares and fountains throughout the city. Although there are a lot, most of them were created at the hands of Bernini, Michelangelo, and other famous artists and sculptors. Some popular squares and fountains include Trevi Fountain, known as the wishing well, and the Piazza di Spagna. Additionally, Piazza Navona is a lively gathering place constructed in a baroque style.
Events are often held in Rome for different holidays. From December 31 to January 1, everyone in the city celebrates the arrival of the New Year. Most of Rome's attractions, supermarkets and restaurants are also closed on January 1. Visitors who visit the Vatican City on this day will have the chance to see the Pope. During Easter, the country is on break for three days, and some restaurants and shops in Rome are also closed. June 2 is Italy's National Day. At this time, everyone has a day off from work and a military parade is held at Piazza Venezia. On Christmas Eve, masses and prayers are held in the Vatican City and are projected live at the Vatican Square. On Christmas, one of Italy's most important holidays of the year, most sights, restaurants, and shops are closed.
There are more than one thousand hotels in Rome. From five-star hotels in tall buildings to budget youth hostels, all kinds of options are readily available, and there's something for every type of budget. You can combine your travel plans and budgets to choose the right accommodation area and hotel. Accommodation in Rome can be divided into the following areas.
Rome's popular accommodation area with many mid-range and high-end hotels. In this area, it is very convenient to take the train, which saves the trouble of carrying the luggage to the hotel and catching the train. Shopping and taking the subway are also very convenient. There are also many youth hostels in this area.
The area around Termini Station is a popular area of Rome is a focal point of the city's main sights, where most of the famous attractions can be explored on foot. The Colosseum and its surrounding monuments are spectacular to see at night, and they can even be viewed from some hotel rooms. The area is mostly home to mid and high-end hotels with slightly higher prices.
Piazza di Spagna is close to the heart of the ancient city. It's a relatively quiet area and Termini Station is located only 3 metro stops away. The famous Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain are both located in this area, so for this reason it should be noted that the prices of hotels in Rome in this area are a bit high.

BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State University field hockey (4-7, 0-3 MAC) dropped Friday afternoon's match at Adcock Field 1-0 to the visiting Ball State Cardinals.
Redshirt-freshman goalkeeper Madison Nuckols made her first career start in net for Appalachian, making four stops. Freshman Brenna Schoenbachler also recorded her second career defensive save in the first half, helping Nuckols keep her clean sheet until overtime.
Friday's defensive struggle produced only 13 total shots in regulation. Junior Ali Williams led the Mountaineers with two shots, one of which was on target.
Freshman Friederike Stegen had one of Appalachian's best goal-scoring opportunities in the second half. The freshman received the ball at midfield and sprinted to the right of the circle, firing a shot just wide of the Cardinals' goal cage.
Rachel Pereira's penalty stroke goal in overtime broke the scoreless tie. Pereira led Ball State with three shots, all of which were on frame.
Appalachian returns to action Sunday at home against the No. 4 Duke Blue Devils. Game is set to start at 1 p.m.

If you follow along on social media then it's probably no surprise that I love oracle cards. I use oracle cards daily but during a launch, I pick them up more regularly than usual! When I am feeling down, frustrated or lost during a launch I turn to the cards for some insight and advice. I find that oracle cards help you to connect with your intuition and higher knowledge during a launch and can help you to find solace and take inspired action.

What is the reason for feeling stuck in my launch?

The Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue were the first cards that I fell in love with – also leading me to fall in love with the goddesses too! As you know, I love working with the energy of goddesses during a launch and so these cards really add to the experience and allow me to tap into different energies and archetypes on a daily basis.

Pep Guardiola is a man with "weak self-confidence" according to Bayern Munich doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt, who has lambasted the Manchester City manager in his new autobiography.
Muller-Wohlfahrt was established as the orthopaedic surgeon of choice for a number of leading sporting stars, including sprinting great Usain Bolt, and had worked at Bayern for more than 35 years by the time Guardiola was appointed as head coach in 2013.
The pair clashed frequently during Guardiola's tenure, with the former Barcelona boss irritated by Muller-Wohlfahrt's refusal to attend training sessions and reportedly clashing with the veteran physician over a number of issues, including treatment for the injury-plagued Thiago Alcantara.
Matters came to a head after Bayern's 3-1 defeat to Porto in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in 2015, as Muller-Wohlfahrt and three members of his staff stepped down and claimed they were held responsible for the defeat.
Bayern overturned the deficit in the second leg before falling short against Barcelona in the semi-finals, while Muller-Wohlfahrt is now back working with the club in a different capacity.
Nevertheless, time does not appear to have healed old wounds.
"I think Pep Guardiola is a person with a weak self-confidence who does everything to hide that from other people," Muller-Wohlfahrt said in an extract from his book, Seeing with your Hands: My Life and my Medicine, published in Bild.
"Because of that he seems to live in a constant fear. Not so much of defeats but of the loss of power and authority.
"He knew everything better: Five minutes warm-up had to be enough. But that couldn't end up well.
Our legacy is not big in terms of winning many titles, that's why we have to win the most prestigious title in England. That is so, so important.
Muller-Wohlfahrt explained he found himself yelling angrily at Guardiola as their relationship went downhill.
"I shouted at Guardiola and hit the table with my fist so hard that the plates and cups clanked. The first time during all the years [at Bayern] I had to be loud," he added.
Muller-Wohlfahrt's book features special guest contributions, including one from Uli Hoeness.
The Bayern president feels he could have prevented relations between the doctor and Guardiola deteriorating so badly, had he not been serving a jail term for tax evasion at the time.
"I think I would have been able to moderate the conflict between Mull and Pep Guardiola," Hoeness said.
"Pep Guardiola is a very proud Catalan, and the Spanish football coaches have a very different relationship with the medical department of the clubs.
"And Mull, on the other hand, is a very proud doctor who does not want to discuss his successful treatments. In the spring of 2015 two fronts immediately met.
Guardiola's City are two wins away from claiming the Premier League title and are in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. They are poised to be joined in the last eight by Bayern, who could wrap up a sixth consecutive Bundesliga crown this weekend.


Boyracer / American Culture - split 7"
BOYRACER have existed around the singular pop visions of Stewart Anderson. Armed with a fuzzbox and a carefree revolving door line up, (of nearly 50 members past and present!). Boyracer have been transatlantically crafting their buzzsaw assault, shaving seconds off already manic slithers of melodic adrenaline punkpop though sweaty live shows and an exhaustive completist's nightmare discography. Noted recordings on indie-cred labels such as Sarah Records and Slumberland have cemented Boyracer's place in global indiedom as influential stalwarts of the genre. These recordings are part of the final piece of the Boyracer jigsaw.
AMERICAN CULTURE hail from Denver, CO and are the bubblegum-noisepop brainchild of Chris Adolf, (formerly of Loveletter Band and Bad Weather California). Releases to date have been cassette only and self released, this is their debut vinyl offering. Taking their cues from powerpop greats, such as The Shoes and The Records, and mixing in a little Marychain and Dinosaur, AMERICAN CULTURE's debut is a strong and confident offering, full of fun and promise.

2
3
something awesome
4
5
6
something awesome
7
8
9
something awesome

But I only want it 2x - like:

1
2
3
something awesome
4
5
6
something awesome
7
8
9

2x "something awesome" would be better than 3x times but I couln't make it at all.
Thanks for your help!

A: Since everybody is eager to show they can count, here is my attempt:
$arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
foreach ($arr as $k => $a){
    if ($k && $k % 3 == 0) {
        echo "something awesome\n";
    }
    echo "$a \n";
}

Sorry about removing the $counter variable. It was useless.

A: When using foreach() you can use $key and $value of the array.
<?php

$arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];

$counter = count($arr);

foreach($arr as $key => $value){
    echo $value . '
';

    if($key % 3 == 2 && $key+1 < $counter ){
        echo "something awesome
";
    }
}

A: What you need to do here is make use of the modulus % operator, please see comment below.
<?php

$arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];

foreach($arr as $a)
{
    echo "$a\n";
    if($a % 3 == 0) // If $a divided by 3 leaves no remainder
    {
        echo "something awesome\n";
    }
}

?>

A: This should do it. Possibly not the most elegant way but it works:
$arr = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
$counter = 1;
$overallCount = 1;
foreach($arr as $a){
    echo "$a \n";
    if( $counter == 3 && $overallCount < count($arr)){
        echo "something awesome\n";
        $counter = 0;
    }
    $counter++;
    $overallCount++;
}

Our aim is to determine whether fibre-rich biomass, including bamboo, can be used to remediate degraded land in a way that is economically feasible, leading to enhanced economic complexity, the establishment of a bamboo micro-industry, higher value-add in output and job creation.
- To what degree can remediation of degraded land from mining activities be restored through active plant cultivation (for example, bamboo or similar crops), and how effectively can this create jobs?
- Does bamboo have the characteristics required for production on degraded land? (e.g. tolerance to salt and metals?) What other features of crops make them favourable for selection?
- Can bamboo or other fibre crops grow in water, thus serving as macrophytes during the remediation's water polishing step, yielding high quality water as a product for re-use alongside the biomass product?
- What potential products can be recovered from the macrophyte reactor during the remediation process? What is the typical material balance around nutrient usage, metal recovery and plant biomass generated in the macrophyte systems of interest?
- Can fibre-rich plants be converted into biocomposites and textile products, including rayon, in environmentally responsible and economically feasible ways using clean production methods, and in a way that creates jobs and aids development?
- In addition to biocomposites and textiles, are there opportunities for using waste biomass from the above applications as a feedstock to the waste biorefinery for production of energy or platform chemicals?
- What is the potential for this research to ultimately stimulate a micro-industry surrounding fibre-rich plants, thus creating jobs? To answer this question, we will use the "product space" methodology to build and map an economic complexity model.
- To what extent does a potential bamboo industry in South Africa offer a chance to build human capital and capacity of labourers? We will look at how, moving up the value chain, fibre-rich plants such as bamboo can be used to create an array of products including tiles, window frames and scaffolding material: this would allow low-skilled individuals to learn additional skills when they create more sophisticated products from bamboo.
- How do existing legal requirements influence the behaviour and choices that mining companies make regarding their rehabilitation programmes? This study may present an alternative model for mine rehabilitation, which requires ongoing attempts at rehabilitation rather than nebulous future obligations.
- How can the envisaged process be regulated, and will this require modification of the existing law to facilitate the implementation of alternative rehabilitation schemes? To answer this, we will need to interrogate the current regulatory framework.
- In terms of environmental checks and balances, will planting bamboo as a mining rehabilitation tool trigger environmental law requirements that would need attention in the study? For example, Framework Environmental Laws, such as the National Environmental Management Act 107 of 1998 and the Environmental Conservation Act 73 of 1989, may trigger certain processes and requirements. These could include the submission of environmental impact assessments, environmental management plans, and the application for environmental authorisations, or compliance requirements under relevant environmental management frameworks.
- From the perspective of Natural Resource Laws beyond mining and minerals, to what extent will the proposed model trigger or avoid permitting requirements or controls?
-Further, to which extent will planning frameworks (Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act 16 of 2013, as well as associated provincial and municipal planning legislation) need adaptation to align with the proposed model, and the zoning requirements.

NASB1995
Elkanah and His Wives
1Now there was a certain man from Ramathaim-zophim from the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. 2He had two wives: the name of one was Hannah and the name of the other Peninnah; and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
3Now this man would go up from his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests to the Lord there. 4When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters; 5but to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, but the Lord had closed her womb. 6Her rival, however, would provoke her bitterly to irritate her, because the Lord had closed her womb. 7It happened year after year, as often as she went up to the house of the Lord, she would provoke her; so she wept and would not eat. 8Then Elkanah her husband said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep and why do you not eat and why is your heart sad? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"
9Then Hannah rose after eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of the Lord. 10She, greatly distressed, prayed to the Lord and wept bitterly. 11She made a vow and said, "O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a son, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and a razor shall never come on his head."
12Now it came about, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli was watching her mouth. 13As for Hannah, she was speaking in her heart, only her lips were moving, but her voice was not heard. So Eli thought she was drunk. 14Then Eli said to her, "How long will you make yourself drunk? Put away your wine from you." 15But Hannah replied, "No, my lord, I am a woman oppressed in spirit; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord. 16Do not consider your maidservant as a worthless woman, for I have spoken until now out of my great concern and provocation." 17Then Eli answered and said, "Go in peace; and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of Him." 18She said, "Let your maidservant find favor in your sight." So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.
Samuel Is Born to Hannah
19Then they arose early in the morning and worshiped before the Lord, and returned again to their house in Ramah. And Elkanah had relations with Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembered her. 20It came about in due time, after Hannah had conceived, that she gave birth to a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked him of the Lord."
21Then the man Elkanah went up with all his household to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice and pay his vow. 22But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, "I will not go up until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord and stay there forever." 23Elkanah her husband said to her, "Do what seems best to you. Remain until you have weaned him; only may the Lord confirm His word." So the woman remained and nursed her son until she weaned him. 24Now when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with a three-year-old bull and one ephah of flour and a jug of wine, and brought him to the house of the Lord in Shiloh, although the child was young. 25Then they slaughtered the bull, and brought the boy to Eli. 26She said, "Oh, my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood here beside you, praying to the Lord. 27For this boy I prayed, and the Lord has given me my petition which I asked of Him. 28So I have also #Lit lentdedicated him to the Lord; as long as he lives he is dedicated to the Lord." And he worshiped the Lord there.

El castell de Brodick (en anglès Brodick Castle) és un castell situat prop del port de Brodick, a l'illa d''Arran, en el Fiord de Clyde (Escòcia). Va ser la seu del Duc d'Hamilton, però en l'actualitat és possessió de National Trust for Scotland.

Història

Alta Edat Mitjana
A la zona on se situa el Castell de Brodick ha existit una fortalesa almenys des del , quan els invasors Escots van arribar des d'Antrim per expandir el regne Dalriada.

Al segle X va augmentar la influència noruega a la zona, i Arran va passar a formar part de les denominades Súðreyjar o "illes meridionals" (les actuals Hèbrides Exteriors), administrades bé des de Dublín o des de les Órcades, i nominalment sota control del rei de Noruega. Aquesta influència pot notar-se encara en alguns dels topònims de l'illa, inclòs el mateix Brodick, que prové de Breiðvík ("Badia ampla"). Aquesta ubicació sembla haver estat relativament important durant l'Edat Mitjana, a causa de la seva posició estratègica en el fiord de Clyde.

A mitjan  Arran formava part del Regne de Mann i les Illes, regit per dues virreis noruec-escots, delegats al seu torn del rei Haakon IV de Noruega. Alexandre III d'Escòcia havia heretat del seu pare el desig de dominar les illes per establir el seu regne, i va realitzar nombrosos intents infructuosos per aconseguir-ho. L'any 1262 el jarl o comte de Ross va saquejar l'illa de Skye amb l'aprovació del rei d'Escòcia, i Haakon va decidir venjar aquest afront, per la qual cosa el juliol de 1262 va partir cap a Escòcia amb una gran flota. Després d'unir-se a les flotes dels seus virreis i mostrar el seu poder a l'ample de les Hèbrides, les forces d'Haakon van ancorar en la Badia de Lamlash, a Arran, on es van entrevistar amb enviats del rei escocès. Aquesta ambaixada no va aconseguir el seu objectiu d'apaivagar al rei noruec, per la qual cosa va començar la batalla de Largs, a escassa distància d'Arran en el fiord de Clyde. Els escocesos van sortir victoriosos de la batalla, i les forces noruegues es van retirar de nou a Arran, i més tard a les Órcades, on Haakon va morir. El consegüent tractat de Perth, signat en 1266, va cedir el domini de les illes a Escòcia.

Interregne i guerres d'Independència
Quan tant Alexandre com la seva hereva, Margarita I d'Escòcia, van morir prematurament, el regne d'Escòcia va entrar en una etapa turbulenta. L'any 1291, Eduard I d'Anglaterra va ser cridat per triar al successor. El triat va ser Joan de Balliol, qui va haver d'acceptar al rei Eduard com el seu sobirà. El rei Joan va desafiar a Eduard en 1295, perquè no va respondre a la seva petició d'ajuda en les seves guerres contra França. Per això, Eduard va envair Escòcia, obligant al rei Joan a abdicar. Durant aquesta etapa, el castell de Brodick va albergar a algunes companyies de l'exèrcit anglès. A més, després del període que Robert I d'Escòcia va passar ocult, després de la seva derrota en la batalla de Methven, el Castell de Brodick va ser el primer que va conquistar en la seva lluita per reconquistar el país.

L'Edat Moderna: Els Hamilton
L'any 1406, el castell va quedar greument danyat durant un atac anglès. Danys encara majors li va infligir a l'edifici Juan de Islay, el 1455. En algun moment després de 1470 el castell li va ser atorgat per Jaume III d'Escòcia al seu cunyat, James Hamilton (primer Lord Hamilton). El seu fill, James Hamilton va ser nomenat Comte d'Arran l'any 1503.

Sota el domini dels Hamilton, el castell va ser reconstruït l'any 1510 amb l'estructura d'una casa torre, encara que va sofrir nous desperfectes durant l'anomenat Rough Wooing ("Festeig violent") de María I Estuard: el Comte de Lennox va atacar el castell per ordre d'Enric VIII d'Anglaterra, en venjança per les accions del segon comte d'Arran, qui havia intentat casar a Maria Estuard amb Francesc II de França. El castell va ser reconstruït i ampliat durant aquesta època.

El castell de Brodick tampoc va escapar a les convulsions religioses que van afectar el : en 1639 Escòcia es va dividir entre el presbiterianisme i el episcopalisme. James Hamilton va ser enviat pel rei d'Anglaterra per intentar imposar la dissolució de l'Església d'Escòcia. Archibald Campbell, Marquès d'Argyll, regent de facto d'Escòcia i capdavanter de la facció presbiterianista, va assetjar a Hamilton al castell de Brodick. La possessió del castell es va alternar durant els anys següents entre Hamilton i Campbell. L'any 1650, els parlamentaristes d'Oliver Cromwell van controlar el castell i ho van estendre construint una bateria d'artilleria per defensar el fiord de Clyde des d'aquesta posició estratègica.

Acabada la guerra, el castell de Brodick, en possessió dels Hamilton, va ser empleat principalment com a residència d'esbarjo per a excursions de caça. Ja al  es va convertir en la residència del fill major d'Alexander Hamilton (desè Duc d'Hamilton).

El 1844, es va dur a terme una extensiva labor de reconstrucció i ampliació del castell, gairebé triplicant la seva grandària, sota la supervisió de l'arquitecte James Gillespie Graham. L'any 1906 l'última descendent de la família Hamilton es va casar amb James Graham, sisè Duc de Montrose, de manera que per primera vegada en més de cinc-cents anys el castell va deixar de pertànyer als Hamilton.

En l'actualitat
El castell i els jardins que ho envolten són actualment propietat del National Trust for Scotland. El castell està obert al públic entre abril i octubre, d'11.00 a. m. a 4.00 p. m.
