To James Madison from William Bradford, [18] July 1775
From William Bradford
FC (Historical Society of Pennsylvania).
Philada. July [18, 1775]1
I wrote to you last week by the post. Mr Smith gives me an opportunity of sending you a few more lines which friendship will not allow me to neglect.2
I have seen the address to the six confederate indian Nations. It sets forth that our fathers left britain on the faith of Contracts which have been faithfully observed on our part, that the king's ministers grew jealous of us, that they sent armies to rob & kill us, therefore requesting if any application be made to them by those wicked ministers to refuse them, that we only desire that peace may continue between us. "We do not ask you (says the address) to take up the hatchet against the soldiers of the great King. We ask that it may be buried deep & peace & harmony subsist between us[.]" They are desired to acquaint the tribes on the river St. Lawrence with this talk: & on the return of their messengers to pay a visit to the general congress: & in the conclusion "We have lighted up a small council fire at Albany that we may hear each other & more fully disclose our minds to one another.["] This is to be translated into Indian by Mr Kirkland and Genl. Schuyler is to deliver the belts, which are to be larger than any ever sent to the five nations: & as the Indians judge of the importance of the business by the Largeness of the belt there is no doubt but this matter will excite universal attention among them.3
It is said the Declaration is to be translated in several Languages and sent abroad. I am also privately informed that they are preparing an address to foreing states inviting them to trade with us.4 If this be true it may serve to explain what I heard Coll Hancock say the other day: "that he made no doubt but Boston would soon be in the peaceable possession of the original proprietors: nay continued he, I should not be surprized if Britain should court a reconciliation by offering to indemnify us for all our Losses." As I knew not his Grounds for such a speech I must confess it appeared to me a very extradinary one. I believe the Congress have lay aside the design of removing from Philada. But they talk of adjourning next saturday for a few weeks.5
I had the pleasure this morning of seeing Aaron Burr who is going to the Camp with one Mr Ogden.6 I hope I shall hear from you soon, but I had rather see you. If the Congress should not remove it may be an inducement to you, to pay us a visit after their adjournment.
With this you will recieve Priestly, a few pamphlets, & a small map of Boston harbour.7
I am Dr Sir &c
W B Jun
P.S. The suspicions against Dr Franklin have died away: whatever was his design at coming over here, I believe he has now chosen his side, and favors our cause.8
1. In his notebook copy, Bradford neglected to complete the date of this letter. He mentioned, however, in his diary, which is now in the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, that he wrote to JM on 10 and 18 July.
2. Reverend Samuel Stanhope Smith was about to return to Virginia with his bride, Ann Witherspoon.
3. "A Speech to the Six Confederate Nations … from the Twelve United Colonies," adopted by the Continental Congress on 13 July, was to be accompanied by "Three Strings, or a small Belt," "The large belt of intelligence and declaration," and "A small belt." After Reverend Samuel Kirkland and General Philip Schuyler (1733–1804) took these to the "central council house" at Onondaga, the Six Nations were asked to make them known to their seven allied tribes along the St. Lawrence River, and then meet again (as they did) with agents of Congress in August at Albany. Bradford's two quotations should have read as follows: "We don't wish you to take up the hatchet against the king's troops. We desire you to remain at home, and not join on either side, but keep the hatchet buried deep… . We depend upon you to send and acquaint your allies to the northward … that you have this talk of ours… . And when they return, we invite your great men to come and converse farther with us at Albany, where we intend to re-kindle the council fire which your and our ancestors sat round in great friendship" (Journals of the Continental Congress, II, 177–83; III, 351).
4. Although on 15 July Congress declared that for the next nine months any shipmaster could export American produce to the value of whatever gunpowder, saltpeter, sulphur, or other military stores he brought in from abroad, it delayed until 6 April 1776 before completely opening American ports to world trade (ibid., II, 184–85, 200–201; IV, 257–59).
5. Congress adjourned 1 August and reconvened 5 September 1775. John Hancock of Boston was at this time the president of the Continental Congress.
6. Bradford and Aaron Burr had been graduated in the same class at the College of New Jersey. Following the death of his parents, Burr lived with his uncle, Timothy Edwards, in Elizabethtown. Armed with a letter of introduction from John Hancock to George Washington (Force, American Archives description begins Peter Force, ed., American Archives, 4th ser. (6 vols.; Washington, D.C., 1837–46). description ends , 4th ser., II, 1689), Burr and Matthias Ogden (1755–1791), who had also lived with the Edwards family, joined the patriot forces besieging Boston. They later served with distinction in the ill-fated Montgomery-Arnold campaign against Canada.
7. For Joseph Priestley see JM to Bradford, 9 May 1775, n. 8. The map was probably "A New Plan of Boston Harbour from an Actual Survey, Engrav'd for the Pennsylva. Magazine," which was printed in June 1775 (Pennsylvania Magazine or American Monthly Museum, I [1775], between p. 240 and p. 241).

Two teenage rock musicians from rural north Wales are celebrating after becoming the first band to pass one million plays with a Welsh language song on the streaming service Spotify.
Dion Jones and Sion Land, 18, were stunned when their song Gwenwyn (Poison) surged towards and then past the million mark. The pair, whose band is called Alffa (Welsh for Alpha), have picked up fans not only from across the UK and the US but in countries such as Brazil, Mexico and Poland.
Jones and Land, who only left the sixth form in the summer, will invest the funds in the recording of an album, and are hoping their success may lead to overseas tours and festivals.
Jones and drummer Land formed the band while studying together. "We were mates through music and then thought it was time to form a band," Jones added. "We played gigs locally, then around Wales. Now it's really kicking off." The pair will not talk about the deeper meaning of the song. "There's a story behind it but we tend to keep it to ourselves," he added.
The band were chosen to take part in a project called Horizons, a collaboration between BBC Wales and the Arts Council of Wales to promote new Welsh music.
Gwenwyn was recorded in the Ferlas Studio in the Snowdonia National Park and released in July. Distributor PYST managed to get it on to Spotify playlists Walk Like A Badass and The Rock List, alongside artists such as Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes and The White Stripes.
There are beloved rock and pop bands who have sung in Welsh including the Super Furry Animals, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci and Datblygu.
An annual Welsh language music day now takes place, led by the devolved government as part of its long-term vision to get a million people speaking and using Welsh by 2050. Last year's event featured live Welsh music at events across the country and as far afield as Budapest and Brooklyn.
Yws Gwynedd, from Alffa's record label, Recordiau Côsh, said he felt lucky to be working in the Welsh music scene at such a time. "Language barriers are being blown wide open," he said.


Surgeons, nurse practitioners and primary care providers are just a few of the professionals who are regularly prescribing pain medications to their patients. While there are many people who need both short- and long-term prescriptions to relieve pain and manage chronic conditions, the majority of people are often given these powerful pills unnecessarily. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, prescriptions for opioids grew steadily from 2007 to 2012, with primary care providers accounting for more than half of these powerful prescriptions.
This has a direct impact on the supply of prescription pain medications in the country, and the increasing prevalence of opioid addiction in the United States. Is there a way to stop relying so heavily on these potent drugs?
As it turns out, a recent study reveals that chiropractic care can reduce the need for prescription pain medication. Acupuncture and physical therapy can also help ease pain in many circumstances. Learn more below.
Throughout the industry, chiropractors are finding time and again that studies reveal regular chiropractic care can reduce a patient's need for opioid prescriptions when used as part of an overall treatment plan. Most recently, the New Hampshire Chiropractic Association cited three studies that found similar results. In fact, some preliminary research results highlight that opioid use in patients can be reduced by more than 55 percent if chiropractic care is included as part of the treatment plan.
Chiropractic care targets the root cause of the issue, rather than just treating the symptoms and masking the pain that an individual is experiencing. Chiropractors create treatment plans and use manipulations that are designed to allow the body to heal itself completely.
Chiropractic care is a safer long-term option for patients. Prescription pain medications are highly addictive, and long-term use can leave a patient dependent on these drugs. In most cases, patients end up having to rely on higher and stronger doses in order to feel better, which can be a destructive path.
Chiropractic care can be combined with other simple lifestyle changes to provide patients with better results overall than solely relying on pain medications to eliminate discomfort.
Are Americans Receptive to Alternative Forms of Pain Management?
Despite the fact that prescription pain medications are so prevalent in society today, many Americans are still looking for alternative options to pain management. According to the Palmer College of Chiropractic blog, 78 percent of Americans want to find another way to reduce pain and discomfort before they resort to prescription pain medications. This is likely due to the fact that more and more people are aware of the dangers of prescription pain medications.
In addition, Americans are relying more heavily on chiropractic care than they have in the past. About 63 percent of Americans surveyed said that they believe chiropractors have their best interest in mind, and more than half of Americans feel that chiropractors are trustworthy care providers. While chiropractic care is becoming more widespread and accepted in society, there is still a need for further education and advocacy about the benefits of this alternative health care option.
For treating chronic low back pain, acupuncture, physical therapy, massage and moist heat therapy are also increasingly being recognized as viable options. New guidelines from the American College of Physicians call for treating not just the pain, but the actual problem. The treatment guidelines define those four alternatives — acupuncture, physical therapy, massage, and moist heat therapy — as first-line therapies for low back pain, along with spinal manipulation.
Whether you are suffering from chronic pain or you are recovering from an accident or injury, chiropractic care may be the answer you need. Anyone who is hesitant to begin a prescription pain medication regimen or who may be willing to try an alternative option for pain management should consider chiropractic services.
For more information about how chiropractic care could reduce your need for prescription pain medications, contact Ravenswood Chiropractic & Wellness Center today to set up a consultation appointment.

That is a very good question, one that many people have probably asked themselves, but when they attempted to find the answer got overwhelmed by the elaborate jargon of finance. To make things simple, how about we skip the jargon and get straight to the facts? Let's dig in. The stock market is called a market for a reason. Simply because it is a place where things can be bought and sold. Unlike a supermarket you cannot buy groceries at a stock market. However you could buy a share of a company that sells groceries. A share is a part of a company. So when someone buys a share, they own a small percentage of the company, if you buy enough shares you could become the largest shareholder and actually own the entire company, but that takes a lot of buying.
Investors buy and sell shares at stock exchanges, called exchanges due to the exchange (buying and selling) that takes place there. A stock exchange can be compared to a local branch of a supermarket whereas the stock market is all of branches but together to form a global market.

Fast Female: Indian Racing's Michelle Disalvo

The extraordinary and untold story of Michelle Disalvo, professional racer turned factory Indian mechanic for Grand National Championship frontrunner Briar Bauman
Words by Joy Burgess
Photos by Scott Hunter/AFT, Dave Hoenig and Tom Stein
There is no doubt: Professional flat track racing – which forms the roots of all American motorcycle racing – is a dangerous and unforgiving sport. Dubbed 'America's original extreme sport' by American Flat Track, the sport is so physically demanding it's been male-dominated for decades, with only a tiny handful of women able to compete successfully at the highest levels.
Walk through the pits at an American Flat Track race and, with the exception of girlfriends, wives and AFT Singles rider Shayna Texter, you won't see women tending seriously to the motorcycles. That is, until you reach the factory Indian pit. There you'll see three riders: twice-reigning Grand National Champion Jared Mees, Bronson Bauman and his older brother – and current AFT Twins points leader – Briar Bauman. Nearby will be Briar's #14 Indian FTR750 racer, and you can be sure that his lead mechanic, Michelle Disalvo, isn't far away.
While Disalvo spends most of her time behind the bike these days, her success as a mechanic for the factory Indian team is at least partially due to her own experience as a racer. Her racing career got its start in flat track, she was one of the first women to carry a National Number in the Grand National Championship Series, and in over 30 years of racing she's competed in everything from Supermoto to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
Michelle Disalvo conquering Pikes Peak
She'd never tell you any of this herself, but Michelle Disalvo has quietly been making history for women in motorcycle racing for decades. Although she's often seen alongside Briar on the track at AFT races, and her skills as a lead tech have been instrumental in Bauman's dominance this season, few know her story.
Before she became a professional wrench working for the leading AFT Twins race team in the world, Michelle Disalvo was a professional motorcycle racer, and a very good one.
Michelle was born in Montana but spent her growing-up years in Salinas, California. When you see her in the pits working on the Indian FTR750, she looks completely at home and comfortable, and that's likely because she's been around motorcycles nearly all her life.
"It was my 9th birthday when I got my first bike," Michelle told us. "It was a Suzuki TM125 in a Champion frame and, looking back, it was a little big for a 9-year-old. But I didn't care. I rode that thing every day, and it broke about every three days. My dad told me that if I wanted to ride, I had to work on it, too. So from then on I fixed my own bikes."
Her dad wasn't in a hurry to let her go racing, but she kept asking until he gave in. In 1985, at the age of 11, she rode her first flat track race in Monterey, California. And from that point on she rarely missed a race. She continued to work her way through the ranks in flat track, turning expert in 1991. Her first pro race was that same year, and she was riding hard to great results.
Blazing a Trail for Women
Dislavo, talking with Bronson Bauman and crew chief Dave Zannotti, is much more than a wrench-turner; she's an integral cog in a well-oiled machine that wins consistently in one of the world's most competitive forms of racing. At least one member of the Wrecking Crew has been on the podium every race this season.
Long before Shayna Texter became the first woman to win a Grand National race, Michelle was blazing a trail for women in motorcycle racing, making history of her own in flat track. After earning her national number in 1998, Michelle headed to Daytona International Speedway to race, and from the moment she was on the gas and banging bars at the Speedway, she knew this was what she wanted to do. "That first time I went to Daytona, I knew I wanted to race the circuit. I intended to race the entire circuit, or get as far as I could."
She went on to be the first woman to take a podium in the Grand National Dirt Track Series. In 2000, she became the first woman to win an AMA national title, taking the 883 Sportster Performance title in the AMA Hotshoe series at Zanesville, Ohio. Later, in 2006, she raced AMA Pro Supermoto, becoming the first woman to qualify for a 450 Main event.
But American racing wasn't enough. "I was watching World Supermoto with a friend and kept thinking I wanted to do that someday," Michelle says. "By chance, someone in England had a bike to ride, so I participated in my first race overseas in October 2006 in Mettet, Belgium. There I met my future sponsor. He watched me race, gave me his phone number and said, 'You're riding for me next year.' So, I came home, quit my job, packed up, and moved to Europe."
During her six years in Europe, she raced the Belgian Supermoto Prestige, FIM World Championship Supermoto and the Belgian Monobike Open, to name just a few, with excellent results.
Once back in the States, in 2013, Michelle set her sights on one of the most prestigious races in the country – the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Some call it America's Isle of Man, a race where even the smallest mistake can be fatal. "Pikes Peak is a special race," she says. "You race against the clock and the mountain. It's really hard to go all-out because the consequences can be fatal. It's truly the most challenging event I've ever done."
The idea of racing inches from sheer cliffs on slick roads with non-stop twists and turns might seem daunting to some, but Michelle seemingly has no fear. "I've knowingly ridden on circuits with no room for error, and I loved it!" Her love for racing is obvious in her willingness to take risks in a sport where injury and death are always a possibility. And it's that love and that rush that comes with racing that keeps her coming back.
It's long hours prepping and maintaining the Bauman bikes, but Disalvo loves the work and the challenge that comes with making sure the Indian boys have the very best on race day.
"It's similar to a drug addiction," she says. "You go fast or rip a corner just right, and your brain releases endorphins. To get that feeling back, you try the same move again; only it's not good enough because you've already done it. So, to achieve that feeling, you push a little harder. As you feel good about your skills, you compete. Then you get an even higher feeling when you cut the perfect lap and edge out another competitor. Over time, it builds up. You just don't acknowledge the risk until after."
Professional Motorcycle Builder and Mechanic
Michelle didn't just start riding at nine years old; she started working on bikes then, too. "I have built everything I've ridden over the years. I wasn't that good in the early years, which means I broke a lot of stuff before I learned how to keep it together. I love understanding why it works and seeing it."
In 2014, the love of working on bikes turned into her next career move when legendary GNC tuner and team owner Dave Zanotti needed a mechanic. "I wasn't exactly looking for it," she says. "Things just find me. Dave's very particular about how the bike should be, and no one puts in an effort like he does. Everything he makes is a work of functional art. For me, trying to grasp that vision was the hardest part. There's a lot of extra work involved, but the end result is beautiful!"
It was while working for Zanotti Racing that Michelle met American Flat Track racer Briar Bauman. "I'd been working for Zanotti since 2014, and Briar came to our team in 2017. He was a good fit, and from that first race you could see he had something special."
And he did have something special. He won the Lima Half-Mile in 2017, and then had some early struggles in 2018. But once he got aboard an Indian FTR750, he was fast. Not only was Briar consistently running up front, but he blazed to what would be a career-changing victory at the Williams Grove Half-Mile with younger brother Bronson right behind him.
Briar's success didn't go unnoticed, and near the end of 2018 Indian added both Briar and Bronson to their Wrecking Crew factory team. Indian also welcomed Zanotti as crew chief and Michelle as Briar's mechanic. It was a package deal, and it's one they're all happy with. "Dave, Briar and I all came into it together, and I don't think any one of us would have done it if the other two weren't going."
The Indian Factory Team obviously knows how much Michelle brings to the team. When asked about her contribution to Briar's success this year, Indian head honcho Gary Gray told us, "Michelle is meticulous and detail-oriented. She triple checks everything to make sure the bike is perfect. She races herself, so she really gets the sport and the bike. She understands what Briar is saying when he gives feedback and gets the bike to work the way he needs it to work. All of this gives Briar an amazing level of confidence when he heads to the starting line. He knows the bike is perfect, so he can focus on his job, winning!"
And winning is what Briar's been doing. He started the season with a runaway win at the Daytona TT, letting everyone know he was ready for a championship run in 2019. So far this season he has four wins, including a commanding victory at the legendary Peoria TT, 13 podiums, and leads the championship in points. Bronson isn't far behind. Currently third in the points, Bronson raced to his first victory in the Twins class at the Laconia Short Track.
Did that first victory for Bronson change the dynamic between the brothers? Not according to Michelle. "I was so happy to see Bronson get his first win," she says. "I think it gave him validation. I saw him racing when he was growing up, and he is very talented. There's no animosity, and I see them giving each other advice all the time. They take care of each other."

With the Indian Wrecking Crew currently holding the top three spots in the championship points, there's a better than even chance that one of the Indian boys is taking home that championship ring this year. Could it be Briar? Michelle seems cautiously optimistic. "It would be amazing to see Briar win the championship. But anything can happen; that's racing. We bring our best, and hopefully, at the end of the season we'll be on top."
There's no doubt that the decades Michelle spent racing and working on bikes fuels her success as Briar's mechanic. She spends a lot of her time working on Briar's bikes and watching him race from the sidelines, yet she doesn't feel like she's missing out at all. "Just because I'm not riding doesn't mean I'm missing anything. Being able to watch a rider live out his dream and legitimately chase the championship is huge. I do a lot of work during the week to ensure he has the best on race day, and watching it all come together is very rewarding."
Dirt track, motocross, road racing, Supermoto and Pikes Peak – at some point Michelle Disalvo has raced just about every type of motorcycle race there is. She's made history for women in motorcycle racing multiple times, spent years tearing it up in Europe, and today she's a critical part of the Indian team.
It doesn't matter whether she's on the bike or behind it; Michelle Disalvo is a force to be reckoned with – an original, one-of-a-kind badass woman who's raced on tracks with the guys and beaten them, stared death in the face for the love of racing, and who uses her vast racing knowledge and epic mechanical skills to help a rider live out his dream.
Now that's a story that deserves to be told.

David Jelinek
Hometown: Brno, Czech Republic
Current Team: Murcia
Win - Loss: 8 - 10
Scouting the Draft-Eligible International Prospects (Part One)
After a strong campaign in his first season seeing significant playing time in the ACB and a promising performance at the 2011 adidas Eurocamp, David Jelinek appears to have taken a step back in his final season upon becoming automatically eligible for the NBA draft. The perimeter-oriented Jelinek continues to see significant minutes in the ACB, but has struggled to score efficiently all season long.
An average athlete with just decent size and length for a NBA shooting guard, Jelinek's perceived value at the NBA level has always been rooted in his ability to knock down shots from the perimeter. Connecting on some 46% of his three point attempts last season, his ability to stretch the floor and knock down open spot-up shots offered some intrigue. This season, Jelinek is shooting just 32% from beyond the arc, and has gone from shooting 52% in catch and shoot situations to connecting on just 29% according to Synergy Sports Technology. He doesn't seem to be shooting with the same fluidity and reliable follow-through we saw from him last season, lofting the ball at the rim from deep and short arming shots with a hand in his face, often coming up well short as a result.
Considering most of Jelinek's touches come on kick outs to the perimeter or when he's running off of screens—and just how efficient he shot the ball last season—such a dip in reliability is very significant. Lacking great quickness and ball-handling ability, Jelinek is not one to make plays off the dribble consistently, and is shooting only 41% from 2-point range (identical to last season) in the very physical ACB league due to his skinny frame and lack of explosiveness around the rim. The Czech wing been at his best this season when defenders have over-aggressively closed him out or trailed him as he runs off screens, as he's looked much more in rhythm pulling up for a jump shot from the midrange than he has off the catch.
Given his average physical tools, Jelinek doesn't create much offense for his teammates, but he's not selfish either. His struggles from the perimeter are not a result of him forcing the issue, and he willingly swings the ball instead of trying to re-find his stroke.
Defensively, Jelinek has shown some improvement this season. He still lacks the lateral quickness to be able to defend his position at the NBA level, but he's played with improved intensity this season. Often the target of on and off ball screens, Jelinek lacks a degree of strength and toughness fighting through contact, but does a decent job getting a hand in the face of shooters and not ball-watching on the weakside, something he did regularly last season. He'll need to get stronger and learn to deal with physical play if he wants to become a more complete defensive player in the European game down the road, but he is not giving up as much dribble penetration as he did in his first season as a rotation player in the ACB.
After a promising 2011 season, David Jelinek seemed to be turning the corner as a prospect. His play this season has certainly given scouts pause, as his effectiveness from the perimeter has coming crashing back down the earth. Such a dip couldn't have come at a worse time for Jelinek's NBA prospects, as he's automatically eligible for the 2012 draft, but if he can rediscover his touch, he could certainly emerge as a valuable role-player once again in the ACB down the road.
2011 adidas Eurocamp: Day Three and Final Recap
Bradley Thayer
David Jelinek manned up today and didn't rest on his laurels from day two. Today he was driving at the rim and finishing through contact and had a very nice dunk after running the fast break with fellow Czech teammate Tomas Satoransky. He scored 18 points without attempting a three-pointer in 19 minutes. That's a great sign from a player who shot 46% from beyond the arc in the ACB this season, seeing a solid 15 minutes per game.
All in all, Jelinek was one of the breakout performers of this camp, showing very nice versatility on the offensive end. He can make shots both off the dribble and with his feet set, and found ways to score in enough other ways to avoid being labeled a one-dimensional player.
Possessing average athleticism and size for a shooting guard at 6-4 without shoes with a 6-6 wingspan, Jelinek is not what you could call a physical specimen. He did have a very productive season in the ACB, though, and followed that up with a strong EuroCamp campaign. If he can show that he can defend his position effectively at the NBA level, he might have a chance to hear his name called when he becomes automatically eligible for the draft next year.
We got a chance to speak with Jelinek as the camp was coming to a close...
European Roundup: Breakout Bogdanovic
Nov 17, 2010, 05:35 pm
Fresh off a solid, albeit less than spectacular, showing for the Czech Republic at the European U20 Championships, David Jelinek has figured prominently into DKV Joventut's rotation this season. After averaging double-figures for CB Prat in the LEB Silver, Jelinek has seen consistent minutes in ACB player thus far this season.
A highly confident shooter with solid speed in the open floor, Jelinek is not a great leaper, which limits him considerably around the rim at the ACB level, but he has nice form on his jump shot and is capable of creating some space off the dribble. Able to play above the rim when he has an open lane, Jelinek seems a bit anxious at times with the ball in his hands, and would be well served to add some muscle to his frame or develop his midrange jump shot to take some pressure off of himself at the rim.
Despite showing solid passing ability on the LEB and junior levels, Jelinek has been used primarily as a spot up threat and transition option. Possessing solid size for the shooting guard position and adequate athleticism, Jelinek did not impress at the adidas Eurocamp last season and may not project as a high level NBA draft prospect, but he's been shooting the lights from beyond the arc early this season and with added polish from the midrange, could earn some recognition if he continues knocking down his jump shot at a high rate. With his short arms and narrow frame, Jelinek's defensive potential looks extremely limited when discussing his NBA prospects, which may be the main thing holding him back long-term.
L'Hospitalet 2008: It's a Big World
We saw a rather different Jelinek than the one that showed up this past summer in the Division B of the U-18 European Championships. More of a team player, working harder, playing defense, sharing the ball and the spotlight, also a bit less confident with his game, but anyway delivering a very serious performance.
Of course he's the same finesse and very fundamentally sound shooting guard, really skilled, elegant, always evolving with poise on the court. He showcased similar strengths as he did then, such as his very good ball-handling skills to attack his opponents, often with crossover dribbles, good touch out to the three-point line, the ability to finish around the basket with both hands creatively, or very nice passing ability that he actually took advantage of this time in drive-and-dish situations. He's a very fluid player, fluid moving on the court, fluid on the dribble, fluid in the release of the ball, a delight for the senses.
Not a great athlete and playing the shooting guard position with his 6-4/6-5 size, he basically looks strictly a prospect for international basketball, but a very interesting one.
U-18 EC Division B: Searching for Hidden Gems
The poster boy for the Czech struggles is David Jelinek, the most talented guy n the team and one of the most promising players in the entire tournament. He's a 1990-born 6-5 combo guard signed in Spain by DKV Joventut. With the National Team he officiates as shooting guard, probably his most natural position at this moment, but we've seen him playing the point with Joventut's U-20 squad, a good option considering his skills and what he needs to work on.
Anyway, he's a very skilled guy with an excellent feel for the game and nice athleticism, particularly in terms of quickness. He loves to attack his match-ups off the dribble going both ways, almost always using crossover dribbles, which in the end, become a little bit predictable. But he's skilled displaying them and enjoys the quickness and footwork to easily step into the lane, while he's smart using his body to finish near the rim. He can also shoot the ball with nice range and off-the-dribble skills. In the end, he abuses his abilities way too much; trying to make things happen himself while ignoring his teammates, which usually results in forced plays and bad shots. It's a pity, because he seems to enjoy decent court vision, and he certainly has the skills to involve his teammates. But he plays and feels like a star, which is reflected not only in the amount of possessions he absorbs, but also in his very poor defensive effort. Hopefully Joventut coaches will be able to guide him to the right path for the future.

GradPath Collaborative initiative aims to strengthen Hopkins' ties with HBCUs
Inaugural event this week will connect JHU affiliates with faculty and staff from Howard University, North Carolina A&T University, Spelman College, and Morgan State University
By Lisa Ercolano
/ Published March 22, 2021
Growing up, Drew Grant had many K-12 instructors who cared about him and motivated him to do well in his studies.
But it was as an undergraduate at Morgan State University that he first encountered teachers who challenged him to dream big. Now Grant is pursuing a doctorate in electrical engineering at the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering under adviser James West, a professor of electrical and computer engineering known worldwide as the inventor of the electret microphone.
"Being inspired and mentored at Morgan by people that look like me is the reason I decided to pursue a doctoral degree," Grant said. "My goal is to work on challenging and impactful problems—specifically, problems that plague the Black community—and provide opportunities for people who are far too often overlooked."
Grant will share his experiences and perspectives as part of GradPath Collaborative's inaugural event, aimed at strengthening Johns Hopkins partnerships with HBCUs, both to attract talent to Hopkins and to learn from their history of producing and mentoring outstanding Black scholars.
"HBCUs are responsible for 27% of bachelor's degrees awarded to Black graduates in STEM; they have led the way in educating Black scientists and engineers. We have much to learn from them as Hopkins seeks to build a reputation that attracts and trains HBCU talent."
Darlene Saporu
Assistant dean for diversity and inclusion
The virtual half-day event, which begins 10 a.m. on Thursday, March 25, offers opportunities for JHU affiliates to engage with a panel of faculty and senior leaders from Howard University, North Carolina A&T University, Spelman College, and Morgan State University. JHU faculty and staff interested in participating can register online.
"HBCUs are responsible for 27% of bachelor's degrees awarded to Black graduates in STEM; they have led the way in educating Black scientists and engineers," said Darlene Saporu, assistant dean for diversity and inclusion at Johns Hopkins and one of the organizers of the event. "We have much to learn from them as Hopkins seeks to build a reputation that attracts and trains HBCU talent."
Jeremy Brown, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the Whiting School, agrees. A graduate of Morehouse College, Brown will moderate the GradPath Initiative's panel discussion titled "Leadership Perspectives: Closing the Gaps, Opening Opportunities."
"As the product of an HBCU, I intimately understand how important these institutions are for creating opportunities for students of color to pursue their career goals and earn advanced degrees," Brown said. "Unfortunately, the success of these institutions and the students they educate often goes unnoticed outside of Black and brown communities. Events like GradPath help reshape the narrative, focusing on HBCUs' critical role in creating a pipeline of Black and brown scholars who go on to become intellectual leaders in their respective fields."
Bria Macklin, a North Carolina A&T graduate who recently completed her doctoral degree in chemical and biomolecular engineer at the Whiting School, wants to become one of those leaders. She is participating in the GradPath Collaborative's panel, "The Students' View," to underscore how the strength of her undergraduate experience led her to her current success.
"HBCU students should know that these [graduate] programs are tough but manageable. The same great study habits that they have developed at their HBCUs will take them far in grad programs," said Macklin, who plans a career in academia as a research professor. "I think it's important that HBCU students understand that they are able to thrive in these programs."
Funding for the event was provided in part by a 2020 Gilliam Fellowship for Advanced Study awarded to Sharon Gerecht, a professor and director of the Institute for NanoBioTechnology at the Whiting School. The award seeks to advance diversity and inclusion in the sciences, and supports the creation of professional development activities and training in that area.
Editor's note: A previous version of this article misstated the day of the event. It will take place Thursday, March 25.

Lost Boys: The Thirst is a 2010 American black comedy action horror film directed by Dario Piana and stars Corey Feldman, Casey B. Dolan, Tanit Phoenix and Jamison Newlander. It is a sequel to Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008) and the third and final film of The Lost Boys trilogy.

Plot
In Washington, D.C., Edgar and Alan Frog interrupt a half-vampire Senator who is killing a Congressman to finish his transformation. In the ensuing chaos, Alan is forced to drink vampire blood, which will make him a half-vampire.

Five years later, in San Cazador, California, Edgar faces eviction from his trailer and tries to raise funds by selling his collection of old comic books to his friend Zoe, who works at a local comics shop. While there, a famous blogger named Johnny Trash enters; Zoe explains that Johnny is there for a rave that's going on in the town.

Back at his trailer, Edgar is approached by Gwen Lieber, a writer of romantic vampire novels, whose brother Peter was kidnapped during a rave in Ibiza, Spain, and she suspects vampiric activity. She gives him a vial of a drug called "The Thirst" which is given to people at raves hosted by a person known as "DJ X"; he determines that it is vampire blood. Gwen offers him a large sum of money to rescue her brother, but he turns it down.

DJ X and his associates are transporting Peter—bound and drugged—in a small plane. DJ X and three others jump from the plane in flight, landing safely to meet Johnny Trash for a live interview. DJ X mauls Johnny afterward since the blogger had served his purpose in promoting the rave online.

Edgar visits Alan, who is now a half-vampire and satisfies his thirst for blood by feeding on animal blood acquired in his job as a taxidermist. Edgar tries to enlist Alan's aid in stopping DJ X from raising an army through his raves, but he refuses, having lost all hope that he can be saved and believing that the whole Alpha Vampire theory is just a "never-ending pyramid scheme."

Edgar resolves to take the job alone, remembering his youthful days with Alan and Sam Emerson. But Gwen introduces him to Lars Van Goetz, a former reality TV star hoping to use the mission to make him famous again; Edgar reluctantly accepts his help.

After a visit to the grave of Sam Emerson (whom Edgar was forced to kill when he turned into a vampire), in which Edgar returns to Sam the Batman #14 that Sam had boasted having when they met, Edgar finds that Alan has left him a book of vampire history to help in his mission. Edgar gives the book to Zoe to research. A vampire attacks her, but she and Edgar defeat it, and she explains what she has learned about a ritual sacrifice during a Blood Moon, such as the one that will occur the night of the rave.

Congressman Blake, now Edgar's weapons designer (for a fee) outfits Edgar and Zoe for battle. After fighting off an attack on Blake's house, they meet up with Gwen, Lars, and Claus, and set off for the island where the rave is taking place. Leaving Gwen behind for her safety, the remaining four go inside in search of Peter. Lars finds him, but thinking that the whole thing is staged, leaves Peter to rescue him at a more dramatic time. As they fight various vampires, Lars has his heart ripped out by one of them and Edgar is injured by Lily, but rejoins Gwen, Claus, and Zoe in returning to the building.

DJ X is distributing The Thirst to the crowd, and preparing to sacrifice Peter. Edgar takes on DJ X, and is narrowly saved by the timely arrival of Alan. The vampire hunters rally, and Edgar impales DJ X with a resin spike grenade (a weapon stolen from Area 51 by Congressman Blake) before he and Alan finish him off with swords through the heart.

To their surprise, the death of DJ X doesn't cause the half-vampires to revert. They discover that Peter was the real alpha vampire, whose power DJ X was attempting to extract (and that Gwen and Peter are actually lovers, not siblings). Gwen's rescue mission was also a ruse to bring Edgar to Peter, who wanted him to become his personal vampire hit-man, to keep other vampires under control. Peter kills Gwen instead of turning her like she wanted, and orders the other vampires to kill Edgar and the rest. Peter attempts to use his partial control over Alan against Edgar, but Edgar douses Peter with water which he simultaneously blesses into holy water, destroying Peter and returning everyone else to normal.

Later, as Alan enjoys getting his first suntan in years, Zoe and Edgar reflect on their adventure. Edgar wonders about her knowledge that vampires were real, which she dismisses as "a hunch". Edgar comments about something he's just read about female werewolves being able to transform at any time, and the film ends with Zoe's face as she becomes a werewolf.

Will Foxglove Kill My Cats?
Foxglove blooms best in cool weather.
Foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea) add a splash of color to shady woodland gardens within U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 to 9 with their speckled, bell-shaped flowers. Their widespread presence in gardens lends them a harmless reputation, although foxgloves are actually highly toxic to humans and animals alike. Cats that ingest foxgloves can easily be killed if not promptly treated by a veterinarian, so it is best to limit contact between the plants and any curious four-legged foragers.
Foxgloves have a distinctive appearance that makes them easily distinguishable from harmless annuals. They stand between 2 and 5 feet in height with a central flower stalk and a rosette of fuzzy, 5- to 10-inch-long leaves at the base. The tubular, bell-shaped flowers emerge from late spring into early summer and have a pendulous or nodding appearance. They are roughly 2 inches in length and come in shades ranging from cream to yellow to pale lavender, each with dark purple or white markings inside. All parts of foxglove are poisonous, although the seeds contain a much higher concentration of toxic elements than the leaves and flowers.
Cardiac glycosides are responsible for the extreme toxicity of foxgloves, but there are also several steroidal saponins within the plant that also cause damage after consumption. The cardiac glycosides effect actions within the heart, which causes the most severe and dangerous symptoms in foxglove poisoning. Due to their low body mass, cats need only consume a small amount of the plant to experience serious, potentially deadly symptoms. Cardiac glycosides cause rapid symptom progression, so recognizing the early signs is vital to ensuring the poisoned animal receives timely emergency care.
Cats may accidentally poison themselves by chewing or eating any part of a foxglove plant, or by drinking water from a vase used to hold cut foxglove flowers indoors. The visible symptoms of foxglove poisoning in cats mimic those of poisoning from other sources, although internal symptoms are much more severe. Vomiting, diarrhea and muscle weakness are prominent and noticeable, while cardiac arrhythmia and heart failure occur virtually unseen. Seek immediate medical attention if a cat displays worrying symptoms after interacting with or having access to a foxglove plant because coma and death may occur rapidly and without warning.
Foxgloves will always pose a threat to pets and people, but it is possible to lower the risk of accidental poisoning with careful planning and maintenance. Plant foxgloves in a visible location to monitor interactions between them and pets, and install a barrier around the bed to discourage close contact. Rake up and discard any fallen leaves to keep them from blowing or getting dragged into areas where cats feed and play, and pour out irrigation water from potted foxgloves so that cats don't drink the water. When using foxgloves as a cut flower, place the vase on a high shelf where cats can't reach it or cover the top with aluminum foil to prevent the cat from drinking the water inside.

Great Divergence
The Great Divergence refers to the stylized fact of a divergence in living standards between these two, during and before the 19th century:
Western Europe (and the parts of the United States settled by people from Western Europe)
The other great medieval empires, including Mughal India, Wing China, the Ottoman Empire, Joseon Korea, and Tokugawa Japan.
Variables of contention
Some schools (such as those led by Maddison) take the view that living standards had diverged in the medieval period, by the 17th century or earlier, with per capita GDP in Western Europe about double that in India, China, and Japan. The per capita GDP diverged further in the 19th century with the Industrial Revolution.
The California School endorses the Pomeranz hypothesis, which says that there was no divergence till the late 18th century, so that the Great Divergence occurred along with, or just shortly before, the Industrial Revolution.

In our world today, it is essential to provide opportunities for students to deepen their faith, grow in their gifts, and connect with God. Our SG Students program provides Junior and Senior High students (7th-12th grade) with a place to find belonging, have fun, make lasting friendships, and grow in their relationship with God.
We give our students the chance to use their talents and share their beliefs through retreats, mission trips and service opportunities throughout the year. Each week we meet for worship, fun activities and small groups designed to challenge students to own their faith and make a difference.
All students are invited to join us on Wednesdays from 7-8:30p (September-May) and 7-9p (June-August) for powerful, youth-led worship, relevant teaching, and time to hangout with friends.
If your student is ready to take their next step of faith, we want to celebrate that with you! Check out our First Communion & Confirmation schedule below and email Anna Zimmerman at [email protected] for more information.
We encourage our Junior and Senior High students to serve at Shepherd's Gate by volunteering in our SG Kids program during the 10 or 11:30a service. Whether your student wants to lead worship, run sound, or help our nursery caregivers, we want them to get involved and give back. Contact [email protected] for a full list of serving opportunities.
Students can come hangout with our Student Director, Anna, and other Junior and Senior High students every Wednesday at 5:30p. Play games, have snacks, do homework, shoot hoops in the Gym, and then join us for Youth Group at 7p!
Want to be a volunteer in our program?
If you are passionate about working with Junior and Senior High students and have attended Shepherd's Gate for six months, contact Anna Zimmerman at [email protected] to get involved.
