Downstate Illinois Road Trip Roundup - Educational Trips
Regional road trips are all the rage right now. Many folks feel most comfortable hopping in the car with their loved ones and exploring sights that are off the beaten path. Some of those sights may even be in your own backyard! For plenty of regional travel ideas, check-in every Wednesday for a Downstate Illinois Road Trip Roundup on themed topics showcasing several destinations across the southern portion of the state. This week's topic is all about learning while you explore - so let's take a field trip!
While visiting Carbondale, there are plenty of ways to blend history and educational opportunities with leisure time and adventure. The Old Illinois Passenger Depot Railroad Museum symbolizes Carbondale's rich history as a mining and transportation center. The old train passenger depot, built in 1903, serves as the museum's current home. Visitors can view the museum's collection of artifacts, ring the bell of an original train car and even take home a souvenir. Guided tours can be arranged in advance for large groups. The Buckminster Fuller Dome, commonly referred to as "The Bucky Dome" by locals, this geodesic dome is Buckminster Fuller's most enduring legacy. Buckminster Fuller is considered by many to be the father of the modern sustainability movement. He favored a systems approach to problem solving, and coined the term "synergy" to capture the principle that when one is engaged in cooperative action, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The geodesic dome, based on a natural pattern of interlocking triangles, is a structure that is considered one of the strongest and most efficient known to humankind. The dome was used as a prototype for all other dome homes that followed and is open for tours. The Science Center is a hands-on children's museum with an array of exhibits to explore and a great place to spend the day with your curious toddler or school-aged child. With more that 50 interactive exhibits throughout the year, kids can learn about paleontology, weather, aircraft and more! There are several programs, educational events, camps, field trips and more! The African American Museum, founded in 1997, is located in Carbondale's University Mall. Founded by The Southern Illinois Achievers who have aspired to educate the community in African American cultures, enlightening and enhancing the community's knowledge of who, what, when and why their ancestors dedicated their lives in preserving their heritage. The museum is dedicated to identifying, preserving, and portraying the outstanding achievements of African American citizens. On Southern Illinois University's campus, visitors can take a Green Tour to explore the sustainability projects of the school, including the Agricultural Building, or stop at the Plant Biology Greenhouse to witness the cultivation of several different plant species. Visitors can also stop in Faner Hall where they will find the nationally accredited University Museum full of exquisitely curated exhibits and an inventory of over 70,000 artifacts. Touch of Nature Environmental Center is another must-do with more than 3,100 acres of rolling hills and lush forests, indoor facilities, and environmental and adventure education experiences that include zip lining, rock climbing and high ropes courses.
Just minutes from the city but a world away, Ballard Nature Center is home to dozens of species of birds and wildlife. Natural prairie, wetlands, butterfly and hummingbird gardens, fishing ponds and creeks round out the outdoor experience for the young – and the young at heart. Ballard Nature Center is a terrific outdoor classroom in every season. Spring wildflowers bloom throughout the grounds, and the natural prairie is in full glory come summer. Fall foliage abounds – so much so, that when you walk the trails, you'll hear the familiar crunching of leaves under every footstep. In winter, follow the tracks of the wildlife that share the trails. Inside the educational center, dioramas and interactive exhibits offer entertainment and effortless learning opportunities on the flora and fauna of this region. A naturalist is on staff to assist with and facilitate these scholastic moments throughout the week. All hiking trails and outdoor areas are open from dawn until dusk. The Visitor Center is open, daily, from March to October, with limited hours in the winter months. Nearby, another adventure awaits you and your crew at Alwerdts Gardens and Alwerdt Artworks and Sculpture Park. Make a day of it at one of the Effingham area's hidden gems. Located just one mile south, off Interstate 70, Exit 82, in Altamont, this business doubles as a botanical treasure house and outdoor gallery. Enjoy four acres of display gardens. Take the opportunity to identify and view over 1,200 varieties of fragrant, uniquely-landscaped herb, perennial and ornamental gardens. Adjacent to the gardens, take a tour of Alwerdt's Sculpture Park. This half-mile walk, open April through October, around a picturesque pond, showcases both exceptional and whimsical works of art from artists near and far. Plan your education excursion, today, and discover all there is to see and do in Effingham County!

They say that you never stop learning. Throughout ILLINOISouth's 22 counties, there are tons of great ways to learn history and dive deep into the past. Fort de Chartres State Historic Site in Randolph County is one of the best places for a fun educational trip. Located just outside of Prairie du Rocher, this 300-year-old treasure marks where the French colonized the Illinois Country. When you visit, you will learn all about the fall of the French to the British and stand in awe of the architecture of a building that was built in the 1700's. The powder magazine on site is widely considered the OLDEST building in the entire state. Annually, the historical site holds events like the Colonial Trade Faire and Rendezvous celebrations. In September of this year, they are hoping to celebrate their 300th anniversary with a large gathering - depending on the state of the current pandemic. The Illinois Rural Heritage Museum is a special place in Pinckneyville that allows us to take a deep look back at the roots of southern Illinois. The museum explains the ever-changing story of rural life from different perspectives: agriculture, business, conservation, education, medicine, natural resources, technology, and transportation. Their mission is to preserve and restore important items that would otherwise be lost with the passage of time. The Vandalia State House is the oldest surviving capitol building in the state! This Vandalia State House is significant for its association with Abraham Lincoln, who served in the House of Representatives here. You can join a guided tour through the building and can view historic rooms to learn all about the connection between the State House and Abe Lincoln! If you love Heath bars or even just chocolate for that matter, you will absolutely love this next place. Heath Museum & Confectionery is where it all began for the Health Bar in Robinson - the county seat of Crawford County. Learn about the popular sweet treat from the beginning in 1913 to the present at this educational but tasty site. You can learn about how it started, how it was promoted early on, what happened to them during the war and depression, and what ultimately earned them great success with a toffee chocolate goodness. You will want to buy up all the Heath Bars after this visit!
Are you looking to take a roadtrip with an educational twist? Metropolis has the perfect place for you that just happens to be the 3rd most visited State Park inIllinois. Fort Massac State Park is steeped in rich history not just for the State of Illinois, but for the foundation of our country.In total 4 flags have flown over the grounds now known as Fort Massac State Park. The Spanish had ownership in the 1500's. In 1702 the land became a French trading post and mission. In 1757, the French fortified the area to block British expansion into the Mississippi River. 1764 the French abandoned the Fort to the British. In 1778, George Rogers Clark stopped at the Fort on his way to Kaskaskia as the exploration of the west began. George Washington ordered the fort to be rebuilt and garrisoned in 1794 and in 1908 the site was designated the first State Park in Illinois.In order to fully obtain all the information about Fort Massac, you will want to plan a visit to the museum and welcome center on the State Park grounds. In the museum, beautiful exhibits will teach you about the history of the land as well as what life was like on the frontier in the early days of our country. As you explore the museum you will see many artifacts that were exhumed from the grounds by archeologists that have been able to explore the area. Beautiful panels with the full history of the area line the walls. Examples of Military Garb and artillery are also on display. There are even a few interactive exhibits that will allow to play a game of checkers or get a one of a kind selfie going down the Ohio River. In the lobby of the Welcome Center you will find one of the most fascinating collections of Indian artifacts from the Mallin and Richey Collections. This collection of arrowheads is sure to impress visitors. History doesn't just exist inside the museum. You can explore land that was so highly desired by walking a cobblestone path to history. There you will find a replica of the 1802 American Fort. Unfortunately, due to faulty construction, visitors cannot explore the inside of the fort structures. This area is slated to be rebuilt in the near future to allow visitors inside once again. Until that happens you can still marvel at the buildings and take the path to the George Rogers Clark statue overlooking the majestic Ohio River. History comes to life in the park the 3rd weekend of each October when thousands flock to the grounds to enjoy the Fort Massac Grand Encampment. This event is the 3rd largest event hosted by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, coming in only behind the 2 Illinois State Fairs. With authentically clad British and American soldiers, the sounds of drum & fife corps, and the smell of delicious period authentic foods, the Encampment has become a must attend event for generations. There is even a mock battle that portrays military tactics of that period that is highly anticipated and enjoyed by visitors young and old. Come to Metropolis and learn so much more about this piece of land that has become so important throughout the history of our country. The Welcome Center and Museum is open 7 days a week to the public. Under current Covid-19 Guidelines, masks must be worn while indoors. A site interpreter is onsite Thursday - Monday for tours and to answer any questions you may have. For more information about the fishing, biking, hiking, camping and disc golf offerings at the park, you may call the park from 8:00AM - 4:00PM daily at 618-524-4712 or visit the Fort Massac State Park Facebook Page.

We got a free bag of apples from the organic grocery nearby, and since the fall seems to be here for good, I decided to bake something cinnamony. This apple cake was so easy to make, came out perfectly moist, and had such a delightful fragrance, that the forthcoming winter doesn't suddenly feel like such a bad thing after all!
Before starting with the batter, I set the oven to 175 degrees Celsius, grated the apples, and greased a round glass baking dish with a little margarine.
I started with the topping. I sliced 5 small apples, placed them in a mixing bowl, and stirred in the sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Then I poured the slices in the baking dish and arranged them so that they covered the bottom and the sides of the pan.
To make the batter, I first whisked together the olive oil, sugar, and soy yogurt until the mixture was smooth. Then I mixed the dry ingredients (flour through salt) in a separate bowl, and added them to the liquids. I whisked the batter until there were no large lumps and then stirred in the grated apple. Now, I poured the batter in the baking dish over the apples.
Then I baked the cake on the lowest rack of our oven for 55 minutes, until it was well browned, and came off the sides of the baking dish. After baking, I let the cake cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, and then inverted the cake on a surface covered with baking parchment. We enjoyed the first slices with some vanilla ice cream, but I think that this cake is just as delicious on its own.

That cake is honestly one of the most beautiful cakes I've ever seen. Great job! Thanks for the reminder, too, that autumn's not all that bad!
This cake looks so comforty and wholesome! Something you would have on a chilly evening! I can almost smell this cake and it's really beautiful!
what a fantastic looking creation. I too love olive oil in my baked goods.
Your cake is marvelous, I will give this a try for sure. I never considered laying out apples to form a base/topping.
Wow, that is a beautiful cake. Looks perfect for autumn. Well, actually it looks perfect for any season but there is something about the colours that remind me of autumn.
Jennifer, Lovliebutterfly, VeganCowGirl, Vaala – thank you for the sweet comments! It's raining today, but it's so nice the get all this lovely feedback. Must remember to keep on blogging, and I'm sure the fall blues will keep away.
What a beautiful cake! I used to always use olive oil in baked goods just because it was what I had and have never noticed a difference and the restaurant customers never noticed either.
I love using olive oil in baking, especially in combination with chocolate!
Eric – I actually love autumn as well, but it's the darkness and weeks and weeks without sunlight that can be a little too much sometimes. But even one day of clear skies (or a friendly comment or two) can mend that!
B36 – I guess that it depends on the variety of olive oil used, some have a stronger aroma than others. Our cake definitely got a nice fragrance from the Extra Vergine we used!
yaelian – great! Tell us how your cake came out if you try this!
Steffi – Olive oil and chocolate, sounds like a wonderful combination. Thanks for the tip, I'll try that for sure!
That cake looks so delicious! I'm excited for the coming of fall flavors.
Tehtiin tätä eilen, ja kaakusta tuli aivan mahtavaa! Kiitos ohjeesta!

The Nicolas-Beazley NB-8G is a United States two-seat parasol wing light monoplane that was constructed in the early 1930s.

Development

The NB-8G was designed and built by the Nicholas-Beazley Airplane Company at its factory in Marshall, Missouri. The first of 57 examples flew in 1931, and most are powered by the Armstrong-Siddeley Genet Mark II engine of  Some were later fitted with the  Lambert engine.

The aircraft has a high strut-mounted parasol wing that can be folded to reduce hangarage space required and to permit towing by road. The two crew seats are arranged side-by-side. Initially the cockpit was open, but some examples later had an enclosure fitted. Production ceased in 1935.

Operational history

The NB-8G was advertised for sale at $1,790. It was fully aerobatic. 57 examples were purchased, mainly by private pilot owners in the United States.

Six examples were still extant in 2009, with at least two being fully airworthy. Examples of these can be viewed at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome museum in New York State, and the Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum at Creve Coeur airfield near St Louis Missouri.

At your first consultation you will come along to one of our three centres and spend some time with one of our friendly implant dentists. Our centres are located in Harley Street in London, Peterborough and Folkestone.
Our expert implant dentists will examine your teeth and your gums to assess if Smile in a Day is the best dental option for you.
After your consultation, if you and your dentist agree, the next step is to have a computerised 3D CT scan. This enables our dental team to look beneath the surface and to measure the amount and location of bone in your jaw. They can then confirm if Smile in a Day is definitely suitable for you. If we feel this isn't the right treatment for you, we'll discuss alternative solutions.
If everyone agrees to go ahead, we'll plan your treatment. Our implant team will formulate a detailed care plan for you and confirm the costs. Our prices are fixed and all-inclusive so you can be assured that there will be no extra charges later on.
Once you've decided to go ahead with your Smile in a Day dental implant procedure, we will book your treatment date. We'll stay in regular contact to reassure you that everything is on track for your surgery.
We run a virtual surgery to make sure we're fully prepared for your treatment and, if required, we create a 3D printed model of your jaw so we can plan your surgery in more detail.
Surgery day – get your smile back!
At this appointment we place your implants and fit your fixed, natural-looking temporary teeth that are designed to speed up the healing process.
We usually use four implants (hence the term All-on-4) to give a perfect fit. Our surgeon will use titanium rods that are custom fitted to you and placed at a precise angle to give a stable foundation for each full arch of new teeth.
Most of our patients choose sedation during the procedure as it keeps them pain free, relaxed and comfortable.
Within hours of your treatment you'll have your smile back. Feel free to bring someone along with you for moral support – the majority of our patients do. We will take as much care of them as we do of you.
You'll come back to see us ten weeks after your dental implant surgery so we can take an impression of your teeth to ensure that your permanent set are a perfect fit.
Three weeks after that we'll check the fit of your new teeth and ten days later we'll attach your permanent set of new teeth.
We will subscribe you to our specialised Maintenance Programme and recommend that you come back to see the TDC Smile in Day team to keep your implants in the best possible condition. If you live too far away we will provide detailed instructions for you to give to your dentist.
If you decide to opt for Smile in a Day, find out more about how we will care for and support you.


There's been a renaissance in premium golf equipment over the last few years with the emergence of PXG and Honma making a more concentrated effort into the global market. While those companies attach a steep ticket price to their sticks, this figure on a new set of Bentley clubs...well, it makes the aforementioned brands look like bargain-barrel bats.
Bentley Motors, renowned for its elegant—and expensive—cars, brought their business model to golf in the beginning of 2016, launching a set that cost $5,000. Though it's golf arm has been around just three seasons, the company is celebrating its centennial anniversary this year, and in honor of that mark, Bentley is releasing a special batch of clubs dubbed "the Centenary Set."
There's a mix of materials in the wood line, including titanium, stainless steel, maraging steel, aluminum and carbon fiber. The fairway, utility and hybrid are all made from high-spec multi-thickness stainless steel to the body with maraging face inserts for extra feel and distance.
Similarly, the putter's body is a mix of high density 303 steel, super soft aluminum and carbon fiber, with a face insert featuring "diamond knurling" to promote truer roll off contact. The set's two wedges have fully CNC milled faces, with full face grooves, and back cavity.
A number that perhaps causes its share of sticker shocker. But to those that drop $250,000 for a Continental GT Speed, what's an extra couple bucks for a set of clubs to match the car?

It has also risen to the #1 campus in the nation for outperforming graduation rate expectations and #27 among public universities in annual alumni giving rate. UC Merced achieved R2 status ("doctoral-granting university with higher research activity," per the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education) in record time and is now setting a very ambitious trajectory towards quickly receiving R1. Additionally, the campus has earned Carnegie's prestigious Classification for Community Engagement, a testament to its deep commitment to the Central Valley. Since welcoming its first freshman class, UC Merced has grown in enrollment to 9,018 students, including 742 graduate students in its three Schools: School of Engineering; School of Natural Sciences; and the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts. Additionally, the Ernest & Julio Gallo School of Management is proposed to open in the Fall of 2022 and will be the first new school since the campus' opening. Envisioned as a "management school of the future," this school will encompass interdisciplinary areas like cognition, economics, complexity, data science, sustainability, and management. The campus is proudly ranked #5 nationally in social mobility by U.S. News & World Report, #8 for economic diversity, and #13 among publics in undergraduate teaching.
Working with faculty, students, and staff across the UC Merced community, as well as with leaders from the UC System and regional communities, the next VC/CFO will continue to enhance the campus' reputation by helping to address a set of key opportunities and challenges, as follows:
Champion the implementation and management of effective, efficient, transparent and consistent, University-wide budget and accounting processes
Build a cohesive unit by leading and managing the Division through change
Propel UC Merced forward on their path to R1 status through careful financial stewardship
Embed UC Merced's deep commitment to diversity and inclusion in all strategies and activities of the division
Strengthen relationships and trust across the university by providing regular, clear and transparent communications about financial planning and operations

Pell ruling prompts mixed reaction from church leaders, victims' groups

The Australian High Court's decision to dismiss charges against Cardinal George Pell has been praised as a successful rendering of justice by some and emphatically denounced by others.
While an immediate reaction from a number of clergy and others associated with the institutional church was largely positive, organizations that support survivors of clergy sexual abuse varied in their reactions, with some harshly criticizing the Australian judicial system and others holding firm that Pell's case still represents progress.
Within hours after Pope Francis offered a prayer at Mass April 7 "for all those who suffer unjust sentences," the Vatican press office released a statement welcoming the court's ruling, NCR reported.
Other Catholic officials excitedly echoed the pope's sentiment.
"I thank God the Australian High Court has overturned Cardinal Pell's conviction," Archbishop Philip Tartaglia of Glasgow, Scotland, wrote on Twitter. "Cardinal Pell has been a friend to the Catholic Church in Scotland and to the Pontifical Scots College in Rome, and I have the deepest respect for him."

— Archdiocese of Glasgow (@ArchdiocGlasgow) April 7, 2020
Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, posted an article on his conservative organization's website with the celebratory title, "Cardinal Pell Is a Free Man."
"This was a sham from the get-go and should never have made its way through the Australian courts," Donohue wrote.
Archbishop Anthony Fisher, Pell's successor in Sydney, said in a statement that he welcomes Pell's exoneration, noting that the cardinal "has always maintained his innocence and today's decision confirms his conviction was wrong."
Fisher said that cases like Pell's "can reopen the wounds of survivors of abuse so that they feel like they are on trial too. But justice for victims is never served by the wrongful conviction and imprisonment of anyone."
Jesuit Fr. Frank Brennan, an Australian lawyer who attended some of the Pell court proceedings, wrote in a column in The Australian — a traditionally center-right newspaper — that there are opposing groups in Australia that revile Pell and hold him in high esteem. However, "those who neither canonise nor despise Pell should be grateful the High Court has delivered justice according to law in this protracted saga," he wrote.
Anne Barrett Doyle, co-director of BishopAccountability.org — a website dedicated to documenting the abuse crisis — said in a statement that although it is "distressing to many survivors, the decision doesn't change the fact that the trial of the powerful cardinal was a watershed."
Barrett Doyle argued that through its court proceedings, the "Australian government has put the Catholic church on equal footing with other institutions, and treated the church's leaders as fellow citizens."
Other survivor-support organizations, seriously questioning Australia's handling of justice, saw the ruling as a potential step backward.
Voice of the Faithful, a lay organization founded in 2002 to shape structural change in the church in response to the abuse crisis, criticized the High Court's seven justices for overturning the decision of the 12 jurors who convicted Pell in his original trial.
"No wonder so many Catholics have lost faith in the Church and criminal justice systems here in the United States and in other countries when it comes to clergy sexual abuse of children," the organization said in a statement.
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) said that the ruling signaled to Australia that citizen jurors are "actually not peers of the accused, the High Court are his peers."
"This is a disappointing ruling that only exacerbates the mistrust survivors feel," SNAP said in a statement.
Complainant "J," one of the men who accused Pell of abusing him as a boy, said in a statement that he respects the High Court's decision and accepts the outcome.
"No-one wants to live in a society where people can be imprisoned without due and proper process. This is a basic civil liberty," he said. "But the price we pay for weighting the system in favour of the accused is that many sexual offences against children go unpunished.
"That's why it remains important that everyone who can report to the police does so. I would hate to think that one outcome of this case is that people are discouraged from reporting to the police."

Sunderland MP Sharon Hodgson says she will be seeking answers from Government Ministers 'as a matter of urgency' as Nissan announce it has cancelled production of its X-Trail model at the firm's Wearside plant.
Nissan has today confirmed its new X-Trail SUV model will not be built at its Sunderland plant.
And bosses say the 'uncertainty' around Brexit is not helping.
The car firm said back in 2016 that the X-Trail SUV car would be produced on Wearside after receiving assurances from the Government.
Sharon Hodgson, MP for Washington and Sunderland West, said: "I now have confirmation from Nissan UK that the new X-Trail SUV model will not be built in Washington in my constituency.
"This is a great loss of future investment in Sunderland and I am sure that many people will share my huge disappointment and concern at this news.
"Tomorrow, I will be seeking answers from Government Ministers as a matter of urgency."
Julie Elliott, MP for Sunderland Central, said: "The decision by Nissan to build its new X-Trail model in Japan rather than Sunderland – as originally planned – is devastating news for our city and the wider North East.
"Tens of thousands of people depend on Nissan for their livelihoods – both directly and through the supply chain. The production of the X-Trail would have created hundreds of much-needed extra jobs in the future.
"Sadly, any loss of future production at the plant makes it less stable. I will be doing everything I can to protect current jobs, as well as asking the government to intervene to protect the plant's future.
"Whilst the downturn in the diesel market has been marked as one of the reasons for why this decision has been taken, we cannot deny the inevitable role that Brexit has played in this. In a letter sent to workers today, Nissan stated that continued Brexit uncertainty is not helping firms 'plan for the future'.
"The Prime Minister's deal would have only kicked the can further down the road. It was full of hopes and intentions, not plans. It did not allow businesses to plan their next few years, and this is the result of a government failure to give businesses the assurances they need, and the people the job security they deserve.
"This constant uncertainty is not conducive to encouraging business investment in this country. Brexit is now a major factor in any decisions made in manufacturing.
"Britain is getting ready to leave the EU in a matter of weeks and there is still no certainty, no assurances, and no organisation. Businesses have no idea on what terms they will be able to trade. It is not sustainable.
"It is time for the government to put the issue of Brexit back to the people, to let them decide on the future of their jobs, and the country."
In 2016, Nissan announced the next-generation X-Trail for the European market would be built on Sunderland, where a near 7,000-strong workforce already make the Qashqai, Juke, Q30, Note and the zero-emission electric Leaf.
MP Bridget Phillipson, who represents Houghton and Sunderland South, says she fears this announcement is 'only the beginning'.
She said: "Nissan's announcement is a blow to Sunderland and to the whole north east economy.
"This is the clearest signal yet of the damage being caused to the UK car industry by the uncertainty around Brexit.
"The government's proposed deal does nothing to end the pressure on workers and businesses, leaving all the major questions about our future trading relationship unanswered.
"I fear this announcement is only the beginning, and it is working people who will suffer the consequences.
"It need not be too late to stop this and for people to change their minds.
The car firm's Wearside plant produces around 2,000 cars a day and has been active since 1986.

California becomes first US state to surpass 2 million COVID-19 cases
Maryland [US], December 24 (ANI/Sputnik): California has become the first US state where the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases exceeded 2 million, according to figures published by Johns Hopkins University.
According to the latest data, a total of 2,010,004 cases of the infection and 23,651 coronavirus-related fatalities were registered in California.
A mandatory self-isolation regime is currently in place in four out of five California regions covering over 98 percent of the state's population. This regime was introduced due to a shortage of intensive care beds and over growing number of new cases.
On December 5, Californian authorities introduced a stay-at-home regime after the region fell below 15 percent of intensive care unit availability. Governor Gavin Newsom said earlier this week that this regime would likely be extended.
The United States has confirmed over 18.4 million cases of COVID-19 and over 326,000 fatalities since the start of the pandemic. (ANI/Sputnik)

Q: Align \sqrt with baseline of other mathematical input The following mathmatical expression is not being displayed the way I expect it to be.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\begin{document}
$3x\sqrt{y}-4-2\sqrt{y}+6x$
\end{document}

Note in the output above, the square root symbol is not "base aligned" (Don't know how to describe it better in LaTex language). I have tried the \smash command but haven't been successful. I know it shouldn't be anything hard to achieve, but seemingly I can't at the moment.
I know that there exists the \smash[b]{$math input$} and \smash[t]{$math input$}.
EDIT:

Is the code below sufficient? (The answer is NO and that is why I seeked clarification to understand the typographical effects explained below.)
$3x\mathord{\raisebox{0.5\depth}{$\sqrt{y}$}}-4-2\mathord{\raisebox{0.5\depth}{$\sqrt{y}$}}+6x$

which yields:

A: The lowered square root symbol is actually by design, but I agree with you that it's really very low here. However, I wouldn't recommend to have the symbol on the baseline (in particular since the y has a descender). You can use \vphantom to raise the square root symbol so that it's as high as over an l, which I find looks quite OK:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\begin{document}
$3x\sqrt{y\vphantom{l}}-4-2\sqrt{y\vphantom{l}}+6x$
\end{document}

As for you edit, don't do that! It raises the baseline of the y, which is not recommendable at all.

If you want less space around the y, you can use a square root symbol from a smaller font, but I guess that's not a good practice from a typographic point of view. The resulting symbol is not quite as small as the one that Herbert's \SQRT produces (and which he explicitly did not recommend). The code uses the \smash[b] method from egreg's answer, which in this situation is actually more elegant than the \vphantom{l} I proposed above. You can adjust the number 8 below to your needs.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\newsavebox\radicand
\newcommand\smallsqrt[1]{
    \savebox\radicand{$\smash[b]{#1}$}
    \text{\fontsize{8}{8}\selectfont
          $\sqrt{\usebox\radicand}$%
         }}
\begin{document}
$3x\smallsqrt{y}-4-2\smallsqrt{y}+6x$
\end{document}

A: \documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}% for \mathrlap
\def\SQRT#1{\mathrlap{\scriptstyle% for a tricky solution
   \sqrt{\smash[b]{\mathstrut\hphantom{#1}}}}\mkern10mu#1}
\begin{document}
$3x\sqrt{{\smash[b]{y\mathstrut}}}-4 -2\sqrt{\smash[b]{y\mathstrut}}+6x$
\end{document}

A: Square roots are often a cause for small, but annoying, problems. Something like
$\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}+\sqrt{y}$

will show a variety of ways the surd is typeset

Particularly problematic are the characters with a descender, but also "j":
$\sqrt{d}+\sqrt{j}+\sqrt{y}$

The decision about how to treat such a formula depends on the symbol involved; for example, if there are only characters with descenders, a \smash[b] (requires amsmath) can solve the problem:
$\sqrt{\smash[b]{g}}+\sqrt{\smash[b]{y}}$

One can see that the white space above the letter is not too much (and the lower angle of the surd is slighly below the baseline).
However this can't be the solution for the first formula, where there's a letter with an ascender: we need to pretend that the ascender is in all square roots, but the depth of y should be masked off
$\sqrt{\vphantom{b}a}+\sqrt{b}+\sqrt{\vphantom{b}\smash[b]{y}}$

Alternatively, one can use \mathstrut that inserts a "phantom parenthesis":
$\sqrt{\mathstrut a}+\sqrt{\mathstrut b}+\sqrt{\mathstrut y}$

but this uses a sligthly larger surd.
Beware of a related problem:
$\sqrt{\sin x}+\sqrt{\cos x}$

gives the wrong

If such formulas are possible in our document, I recommend to change the definition of \cos:
\let\cos\relax % to make LaTeX happy with the following line
\DeclareMathOperator{\cos}{cos\vphantom{i}}

so that the formula will by typeset correctly as

As it can be clearly seen, there's little hope to get an automatic solution, as a good treatment depends on what's in the formula, not only on the particular square root.

After capture all the Clow cards, the original wand was transformed into this Star wand because Sakura's powers come from the stars. This wand represented her full ownership of the Clow cards and allowed her to transform them into Sakura cards.
This Star key is what the Star wand looks like in its' dormant form, often seen worn around Sakura's neck. It represents the end of her long and arduous jouney to capture all the Clow cards, and now you can be a part of that magic with your very own Star key.

Milner-Barry certainly was one of the Bletchley Park code breakers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_associated_with_Bletchley_Park.
It is surely a bit ironic that we have people who have mistakenly ascribed the Barry Attack to Sir Stuart Milner-Barry, whilst many ignore his real and important contribution to Nimzo-Indian theory: 4 Qc2 Nc6 with the plan of ...d6 and ...e5. As I wrote in another thread:
IMHO Zurich variation is a misnomer and 4 Qc2 Nc6 (4 Qb3 Nc6 often transposes) should be attributed to the English player Milner-Barry who, according to the Oxford Companion, first played it at Hastings 1928-9 (Premier Reserves). For the next two decades it was one of the most popular lines against 4 Qc2, and featured frequently in the games of many of the best players of the time, such as Alekhine, Keres, Reshevsky, and Najdorf, as well as Milner- Barry's friend and long-time sparring partner Hugh Alexander, who used it to draw with Fine and to beat Euwe (who was probably the greatest apostle of 4 Qc2 in the 1930s-50s).
Keano
Money doesn't talk, it
swears.
John Cox - didn't know about the Cockney rhyming slang is that true? It would make sense. I talked with Mark Hebden one time about the Barry attack but never asked him how it got the name.
A computer once beat me at chess but it was no match for me at kick boxing - Emo Philips
IMJohnCox
Good Lord, Smyslov Fan, how can you possibly not have heard of Sir Stuart?! Wasn't he one of the Bletchley code-breakers, hence the Sir? Certainly one of the grand old men of British chess, anyway (at least to someone of my generation; of course to Blackburne he was probably a kid in short trousers, and to Mieses a polite young man).
Surely the name Barry Attack originates with Mark Hebden and was his own preferred name, wasn't it? I'd definitely prefer it over Hebden Pseudo-London, or anything of that nature.
Barry btw is Cockney rhyming slang, I believe - Barry White, you see. Take a butchers on wikipedia if you don't know what I mean.
That would be just before Hebden took it up I think! The survey title was probably reflecting the Murshed game where he hammered somone with the h4-h5 business. Rogers picked it up himself also for a bit.
kylemeister
Well, Ian Rogers (another significant figure in this context, I believe) called it "Murshed's Anti-KID System" when he did a Yearbook article on it, albeit about 20 years ago.
Paddy - the Capablanca-Yates game is a great game by Capa but (not surprisingly) Whites opening play doesn't stand up to modern day standards. A pity, because Capablancas concept was nice.
TN - yes Murshed played one of the famous games but never really heard of it being called after him. In all fairness given the amount of games Mark Hebden has played over the years against patzers and GM's alike, it really deserves to be named after him, and perhaps will be in the future when we're all dead and gone and sensible people come along to rename the openings.
I'd always thought 'Murshed Attack' was the correct name.
All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them.
Keano wrote on 12/03/12 at 16:28:45:
Yes, the name Barry Attack I never liked - it would be OK if people actually knew what "Barry" meant but even most native English speakers would not have a clue.
A more appropriate name would be "Hebden Pseudo-London Attack" or something along those lines.
I seem to recall that in an article in the British Chess Magazine some years ago Graham Burgess called this opening the "Hebden-Hodgson Attack".
The opening is also mentioned in Shereshevsky's legendary "The Soviet Chess Conveyer" (1994) in his chapter on "One-Game Openings" (i.e. surprise weapons, suitable for employing perhaps once per tournament!). He wrote that his interest in this line was aroused by the famous game Capablanca-Yates from New York 1924.
In his book "Chess Secrets" (1952) Edward Lasker mentions how uncertain even strong players were in the 1920s about how best to deal with the new ideas on opening strategy coming out of Europe. In his first round game at New York 1924, as White vs Maroczy, Lasker opted for 1 d4 Nf6 2 Nf3 g6 3 Nc3, and in later rounds he was imitated by Capablanca and Marshall. The line continued to be played through the 1920s but was eclipsed by the c4, g3 system advocated by Alekhine.
However, as with many lines of this type, it seems that Tartakower might well have been the pioneer (vs Wahltuch, London BCF 1922).

I have posted a bibliography on the Barry Attack:
Any further suggestions -- especially to online sources -- are most welcome.
There's now a playable Barry Attack eBook (in CBV form, written by GMs Eric Prié & Aaron Summerscale, with some further annotations by Richard Palliser) on the main site.

Just read throught this thread, and the linked bibliography by Mike Goeller (Mike: really like your Kenilworthian blog and you're Urusov Gambit page is outstanding - you converted me to an 'old school' (i.e., 3.d4 instead of 3.d3) Bishop's Opening Player on the spot!). I had no idea that the Barry Attack was not named after someone named Barry, but meant Rubbish Attack. What a wonderful revelation!

I hope I didn't give the impression that my list of notables who played the Barry was comprehensive.
Yes, I was familiar with GM Suetin's play. There are quite a few others I didn't mention. Pace to those I offended by omitting their contributions!

It was also famous Russian GMI A. Suetin who was using the Barry Attack in the 60/70 s. of the last century. He also taught that line to his friend K. Sznapik from Poland, brother of the ex-Polish champion Alexander. I let me remind his game played against... M. Hebden in 1986, in which the latter sacrified his queen for a bishop! I hope that GMI M. Hebden won't hit the roof seeing it here.

Taljechin,
Thanks for the website reference......
What makes u think TJ has two personalities....
Thanks for the website reference. I took a stab and wrote to IM Andrew Martin. Unfortunately it looks like the last contribution to InternetChess.com was back in 1999. The reference is bizarre, and none of my British friends or relatives have heard that one before.

I'm guessing that the Barry of the Barry attack is the same person and Mark Goeller was making an obscure joke on his behalf. I'd never heard that Barry meant rubbish either.
I don't think Mark Goeller is the one making the joke, as I'm sure I've read that in a chess book or perhaps in an article, most likely it was a repertoire book for black.
Andrew Martin wrote this back in 1999(?):

Anyway, it's nice to see that even native speakers hadn't heard that slang before!
Btw, if any of the natives here feel like opening a new thread introducing us to the variety of dialects on the British Isles, I for one would be quite interested in learning about for example what differ Newcastle dialect from Liverpudlian and Manchester dialect, Yorkshire from Welsh english etc etc.
I've never been to the US still in american accents I think I'd be able to place a whole bunch reasonably accurately, but most British accents sound roughly the same to me.
A little research has produced the following:
The "Barry Attack" (D00): 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.Bf4 Bg7 5.e3 0-0 6.Be2 was played at least as early as 1931 by Soloviev against Kasparian.
The list of people who took up the Black side is really impressive, including Kasparov.
Here's a short list of famous people who lost as Black before 1990. (I chose that date because according to Goeller, the opening was first played in the 1980s.)
Dvoretsky, Gufeld, Vladimirov, Zsuzsa Polgar, Mark Hebden and quite a few others.
Polgar and Hebden later went on to play the position from the White side and still lost!
Ok, they also won some.
Some of the "heroes" of the Barry, that is famous players who tried it more than once before 1990 include:
Sorokin, Kholmov, Pirc, Ian Rogers, Balashov, Antoshin, David Norwood, Julian Hodgson, Mark Hebden, Susan Polgar, and Prybil.
One notable game was a victory by Kasparov as Black against Hort in 1988. I guess by then the opening was known by the people Goeller cites.
As a fan of Smyslov, I recognise this general set-up from some of Smyslov's games (as White) in Zurich, 1953. However, I would not consider this an attempt to win as White, and probably consider it a good way to lose!
I decided to let my ignorance stand rather than delete my last posting.
The "Barry" of the Milner Barry attack was apparently Philip Stuart Milner Barry. I thought it was two separate people, but you know those uptight err upright British aristocratic types with three or four first names and two or three surnames. ("Col. Paget-Paget-Smith, etc. (Mrs.)" from Monty Python springs to mind.)
I've done some research on Milner Barry now, and have discovered that he never (or almost certainly never) played 1.d4 in a serious game in his entire career stretching from 1928-1980. So the Barry attack couldn't have been named after him.
I have a few other leads to check on to see if there's a Barry who actually played that line. I sincerely doubt that Mr. Goeller is right about the origin of the name.
Alumbrado,
There must be some reason that there are openings attributed to Barry and yet very few games. At least Rauzer backed up his openings with memorable games. (Or is it just that I am sorely uneducated in the greatness of the founder of these "attacks"?)
Esse quam videri bonus
malebo
I have to say, it was news to me that "barry" means "rubbish" ... it must be some provincial thing which hasn't penetrated the great metropolis.
If sometimes we fly too close to the sun, at least this shows we are spreading our wings.
Yes indeed, and without any exceptions!
IMRichardPalliser
Surely one just needs to study all Mark Hebden's many Barry games?
http://www.everymanchess.com
There was also published some time ago an article written by Ukrainian IM Vladimir Okhotnik in Polish chess magazine "Panorama Szachowa". The author is an avid advocate of this line, and is using it mainly in rapidplay and blitz tournaments.
Knut S.
I've had a look and congratulations on a great job! I will certainly use it, as I've only seen Summerscale and Lane's works so far. Hopefully I and other white players will improve more from it than future opponents with the black pieces!

13 Jul in 21:00 The Jamestown Foundation
The armed forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey conducted two late-spring joint exercises, around Baku (on May 1–3) and in the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan (June 7–11). The goal of these drills was to increase the level of coordination and interoperability between the two militaries, to fulfill joint combat operations, and instruct Azerbaijani servicemen on how to use Turkish weapons.
The Jamestown Foundation in the article Azerbaijan's Military Exercises Send Defiant Message to Armenia writes that Azerbaijan's Defense Minister Zakir Hasanov stressed that his country's expanding military cooperation with Turkey "is the main factor ensuring stability in the region" and the "[two] armed forces are ready" to accomplish any task.
Meanwhile, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar noted, "This exercise is an example of what the two states can do when they are one nation [and] one army". The number of joint Azerbaijani-Turkish exercises has substantially increased compared to previous years, with 13 total envisioned for 2019. In 2018, the two countries carried out just seven joint drills.
Over the past several months, Azerbaijani service members (including soldiers from Nakhchivan's Combined-Arms Army) have also actively participated in military drills on Turkish territory. In Turkey, the Azerbaijani military rehearsed difficult combat tasks in complex geographies. Turkey's anti-terrorist combat experience in the Middle East strongly contributed to the content of these exercises (Mod.gov.az, February 6, 12, 18, May 15, 16, 23, 24). And Minister Hasanov recently declared that Azerbaijan and Pakistani special forces will soon hold joint exercises, as well.
At the same time, Azerbaijan has been stepping up unilateral military maneuvers. Between March and June of this year, Azerbaijan's armed forces performed several large-scale and tactical-special exercises. In these drills, Azerbaijani soldiers trained to rebuff an enemy's attacks by utilizing massive missile counterstrikes, artillery fires, air-assault and air-defense systems, tank charges, as well as drones and satellite technologies (Mod.gov.az, March 8, April 1, 8, 11, 18, 25, 29, May 20, June 19, 21).
The Azerbaijani military is learning to fight in new ways, testing, according to Defense Minister Hasanov, "new weapons," "tactical methods" and "combat readiness". Over the last three years, the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan, taking into consideration Armenia's changing arsenal, have been mapping out the most optimal and effective methods to carry out large-scale counteroffensive operations in both day and nighttime conditions. Moreover, Azerbaijan's military units have practiced taking advantageous positions in the enemy's operational and strategic rear, including in difficult mountainous terrain as well as harsh climatic and electronic-warfare environments. The Armed Forces have, thus, become increasingly mobile, quick and flexible enough to shift to a full-scale counteroffensive posture within hours or a few days thanks to more regular training and better engineering/construction works. Exercises are held in maximum compliance with real battlefield conditions and aimed at repelling possible armed incursions by Armenian forces. And the military has built mock enemy defensive lines at its training grounds in order to allow Azerbaijani units to practice overcoming the opposing side's fortified trenches.
On the heels of last month's Azerbaijani-Turkish exercises in Nakhchivan, the defense ministers of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey met in Gabala (Azerbaijan) to discuss "the military-political situation in the region." During the talks, Georgian Defense Minister Levan Isoria voiced the possibility of Georgia's future involvement in Turkey and Azerbaijan's joint military exercises. Specifically, beyond the regular trilateral exercises the three have held to date that have focused on the protection of critical infrastructure, Georgia is now also looking to join Azerbaijani-Turkish tactical military exercises. The Azerbaijani media claimed that Tbilisi may, therefore, be reconsidering its relative neutrality toward Armenia.
Following the Azerbaijani Armed Forces' several weeks of military exercises on three different "fronts" (in mainland Azerbaijan, Nakhchivan and Turkey), the Armenian military launched its own "large-scale exercises" in Azerbaijan's occupied territories. In fact, the Nakhchivan frontier presents a serious operational dilemma for Armenia, forcing it, in case of open hostilities, to face potential Azerbaijani resistance along a second front.
The large-scale exercises coincided with new ceasefire violations along the Azerbaijani-Armenian frontline as well as bellicose rhetoric coming out of Yerevan. At the end of May, Armenian snipers shot two Azerbaijani service members; the snipers were later awarded by the Armenian Ministry of Defense. Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs called this a "bloody act perpetrated intentionally" by the Armenian side to spoil bilateral conflict negotiations. Shortly afterward, an Armenian anti-aircraft missile system targeted (but failed to hit) an Azerbaijani training aircraft flying above the frontline.
According to Armenia's Defense Minister David Tonoyan, Yerevan has deployed special forces along the entire frontline. This echoes Tonoyan's earlier statement that Armenia may resort to a "new war–new territories" formula, implying a shift from a "defensive strategy" to "active deterrence" that would include special reconnaissance operations inside Azerbaijani territories. After Tonoyan made those remarks—which he delivered on the third anniversary of the April 2016 "Four Days' War"—the Armenian Armed Forces held bilateral exercises with units from Russia's 102nd Military Base under the Armenia-Russia Joint Command to test readiness for joint combat missions.
Considering the fact that the Armenian military resumed regular fires targeting Azerbaijani frontline positions, and given the possibility of nighttime sabotage attacks by Armenian forces (in order to distract Armenian society from the internal political confrontations in the country), Azerbaijan's defense ministry instructed commanders to suppress the enemy provocations by taking adequate measures. These developments have already pushed Azerbaijan to amend its 2019 State Budget, increasing defense expenditures by 4.9 percent. The current tense situation along the frontline resembles the pre-April 2016 period. And Baku is concerned that the current Armenian government appears more willing than its predecessors to disrupt conflict-resolution negotiations. The prospects of open warfare returning to the region are growing.

LeRoy School playground upgrade project receives $150,000 boost
Kiernan Green / Humboldt Journal
Submitted photo by Google
LEROY — An effort to upgrade LeRoy School's playground equipment has received a $150,000 boost.
The grant came from the Federated Co-operatives Limited community spaces project.
The project is co-op's effort to "bring people together, creating places for everyone and building a lasting legacy that benefits our community into the future," said Nick Koroluk, Midway Co-op's general manager.
Of the $2 million total given out to 28 applicants this year, LeRoy school was one of two to receive the maximum grant of $150,000.
The community of just over 400 residents "has got the biggest heart," said LeRoy School librarian Sheila Lissel.
"Now, it has the biggest grant, which is really good."
The money will be spent on entirely replacing the towns only playground, which "really wasn't up to code anymore," Lissel said. Other than a factory fresh shine, the new school playground will also have wheelchair-accessible features such as a wheelchair swing.
The playground's final design and permits are still being determined by a community committee – including the school community council, who submitted the original application – and the Horizon School Division.
Lissel said the grant is a blessing for LeRoy, which as a town had lost their hockey rink completely to a fire about five years ago.
"We've always had to go out and raise our own money," she said. "We've had to work for everything we've got... finally we got something given to us."
The school will be celebrating with a cheque presentation and free sausage lunch on June 17.

Helping patients to reduce tobacco consumption in oncology: a narrative review
Claudio Lucchiari, Marianna Masiero, Andrea Botturi, Gabriella Pravettoni
Istituto Europeo di Oncologia
The present overview focuses on evidence of smoking cessation approaches in oncology settings with the aim to provide health personnel a critical perspective on how to help their patients. This narrative review is structured in two main sections: the first one describes the psycho-cognitive variables involved in the decision to continue smoking after a cancer diagnosis and during the treatment; the second section relates methods and tools may be recommended, being evidence-based, to support smoking cessation in oncology settings. Active smoking increases not only susceptibility to common cancers in the general population, but also increases disease severity and comorbidities in cancer patients. Nowadays, scientific evidence has identified many strategies to give up smoking, but a lack of knowledge exists for treatment of nicotine dependence in the cancer population. Health personnel is often ambiguous when approaching the problem, while their contribution is essential in guiding patients towards healthier choices. We argue that smoking treatments for cancer patients deserve more attention and that clinical features, individual characteristics and needs of the patient should be assessed in order to increase the attempts success rate. Health personnel that daily work and interact with cancer patients and their caregivers have a fundamental role in the promotion of the health changing. For this reason, it is important that they have adequate knowledge and resources in order to support cancer patients to stop tobacco cigarette smoking and promoting and healthier lifestyle.
