promoting cleaner, more sustainable energy options that will benefit northerners for generations to come.
Furthermore, they announced $40 million in funding for the Inuvik Wind Generation project. This is the first project under the Government of Canada's new Arctic Energy Fund, which supports energy security in Northern communities.
So the Inuvik Wind Generation project will develop an energy system. This system will include the installation of wind turbines, a grid controller and a large battery storage system. Without question, this will generate energy when the wind slows down. In addition, it also includes the construction of a 5-kilometre access road from Dempster Highway to the project site. Also and most importantly connections to the local electric grid. This project will provide a more efficient, reliable and cleaner source of energy for Inuvik residents. It will help protect the environment and lower greenhouse gas emissions by reducing diesel use.
The Government of Canada is investing up to $30 million through the Investing in Canada plan – Arctic Energy Fund. In addition the Government of the Northwest Territories is contributing up to $10 million for the Inuvik Wind Generation project.
The Inuvik Wind Generation project is the first project announced under the Government of Canada's Arctic Energy Fund. The fund supports energy security in communities in the North. In addition and including Indigenous communities, by investing in upgrades to existing fossil fuel-based energy systems. Furthermore and as well as supplementing or replacing these systems with renewable energy options.
This is improving energy reliability and efficiency as well as reducing pollution.
Through the Investing in Canada infrastructure plan, the Government of Canada will invest more than $180 billion over 12 years in public transit projects. In addition, green infrastructure, social infrastructure, trade and transportation routes, and Canada's rural and northern communities.
$26.9 billion of this funding will support green infrastructure projects. That's including $5 billion that will be available for investment through the Canada Infrastructure Bank.
$2 billion of this funding will support infrastructure projects. Projects that meet the unique needs of rural and northern communities. They are like facilities to support food security, local access roads and enhanced broadband connectivity. In addition, $400 million will be delivered through the Arctic Energy Fund to advance energy security in the territories.

Four ways to help people feel safe to share their disability at work
HomeNewsFour ways to help people feel ...
Some people feel uncomfortable sharing information about their disability in the workplace. Here is how you can help to make sure that doesn't happen.
Earlier this year, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reported that 93% of people who identify as having a disability and are unemployed face at least one difficulty when finding work. This is despite most (88%) employed working-age people with disability not requiring additional support from their employer to work.
People with disability experience more barriers to employment than people without – and one of the barriers commonly faced is feeling unsafe sharing information about their disability with an employer or potential employer.
The key reasons for this can be attributed to workplace culture, lack of representation in leadership, a lack of visibility of support options, and little to no flexibility in different ways of working.
Emily Reaper, Executive Officer of Client Services, highlights the negative impacts of employees feeling unsafe discussing their disability at work.
"I spent a lot of time hiding a large part of who I am at work because people couldn't always 'see' my disability, and I didn't feel safe to share it."
"The downside to this is that I was never truly myself in any workplace. I pushed myself outside my limits rather than asking for help, which meant I could not work to the best of my abilities." Said Emily Reaper.
We know that when people feel safe talking about their disability at work, they are more engaged, feel that they belong and are more confident and satisfied in their roles.
Here are four ways your organisation can create an environment where people with disability feel safe and supported.
Representation in leadership
Sometimes, people do not want to disclose having a disability because they fear it may impact their career goals. This is amplified when there is a lack of representation of people with disability in leadership.
While the introduction of inclusion policies has seen a rise in organisations welcoming people with disability into entry-level positions, this has not commonly been the case for senior leadership positions. Many leaders with disabilities have hidden their disability and its extent for as long as possible to secure their positions.
Representations of people with disability in leadership positions sends a clear message that people with disability are welcomed and valued in the organisation. Having a disability is not a barrier to employment or promotions.
"Reading about who was on the board was one of the first things I did when applying for my role at Life Without Barriers." Said Trelawney Holt, Digital and Social Media Communications Officer.
"It was a welcomed change to see people with disability represented on the board."
"From that moment, I felt confident that I wouldn't be at a disadvantage if I shared my disability." Said Trelawney.
Workplace flexibility
Thanks to COVID, more workplaces now have flexible work arrangements. However, it is essential to consider a person's mental and physical requirements and individualise the support provided.
The best way to start is to ask, 'What can we do to make the workplace comfortable for you?' or 'What adjustments or support can we provide to help you with your work?'
Including this in the interview, onboarding process, and during regular check-ins allows people to feel more comfortable discussing their ongoing needs and making adjustments as needed.
"From the day of my first interview with Life Without Barriers to when I was offered a job, I knew I had found an employer who saw me for my true value and not my disability." Dominic Freestone, Senior Graphic Designer.
"With the right workplace adjustments, I can do my job just as well as any non-disabled person."
Creating a welcoming and supportive environment is not the responsibility of one person. It is something that must be seen in the attitudes and behaviour of every person across an organisation.
Workplace culture can be built to support people with disability by providing regular learning opportunities for employees to increase their disability confidence. This prevents discrimination by challenging unconscious bias and helping all employees to become educated about the barriers people with disability face in the workforce.
You can also establish employee groups where people with disability can connect with others for support and share resources and experiences in a safe, non-judgmental space. At Life Without Barriers, we have DAWN (Disability Ability Wellness Network).
As Emily Reaper and Dwayne Brumby, DAWN Co-Chairs, explain, "DAWN is led by a committee in which 80% of the members have a lived experience of disability. An employee-led network with strong integrated connections across all parts of the business, DAWN continues to meaningfully influence strategy and advance accessibility and inclusion outcomes for everyone."
DAWN serves as a network and resource for employees with disability and their allies. The goal is to create a great place to work for everyone by embracing the individual skills, perspectives, and experiences our people bring to the workplace. The network is open to all employees of Life Without Barriers.
Workplace culture is also built through a visible commitment to welcome and support people with disability in your organisation. This should be done by applying supportive measures consistently. You can also demonstrate this through communication channels such as your website, social media and internal communications.
Clear policies, procedures and plans
For people with disability to trust you as an employer and feel secure in disclosing their disability, clear policies, procedures and plans should be documented and easily accessible.
Including supportive measures and commitment actions in official organisation documentation provides transparency, ensures all staff are aware of their obligations, and that people with disability have a clear roadmap for accessing support.
Fundamentally, however, it allows people with disability to know their rights will be met and respected in your organisation.
"Documentation should be explicitly inclusive of people with disability. Don't assume people with disability will 'read themselves in' to your policies if they are not mentioned overtly. People from marginalised communities are more likely to 'read themselves out'." Said Ashleigh Sternes, Diversity and Inclusion Lead.
"Be bold and unambiguous in your support for people with disability."
At Life Without Barriers, our doors are always open to people with disability. We are proud to be an accredited Disability Confident Recruiter through the Australian Network on Disability (AND). This means we are unequivocally committed to ensuring our recruitment and selection processes are accessible to people with disability. We actively support people being comfortable discussing their disability with us and we encourage all employers to do the same.
"Life Without Barriers has not only 'talked the talk' but we also 'walk the walk' when it comes to actively supporting our employees with disabilities." Said Dwayne Brumby, Assistant Financial Accountant.
You can learn more about our commitment to people with disability here.
Life Without Barriers also endorses the Department of Social Services Employ My Ability campaign, which provides a guiding framework for governments, employers and the broader community to increase employment outcomes for people with disability.

Other Initiatives	Individuals engaged with anthroposophy are involved in a range of initiatives putting Steiner's indications to work
Developing new ways of seeing and doing
There are many areas of professional practice where Anthroposophy has inspired unique forms of individual and social expression, including in the creative arts, natural sciences, architecture, contemplative practices, finance, social entrepreneurship, religious renewal, and in research.
We are still building this page so, for now, just an overview.
The practice, development and contemplation of the arts are central to Anthroposophy. But there is no one anthroposophical approach to art, other than that of creativity. However, the aim is not creative self-expression but rather transcendence and transformation of the material substances used in art-making towards the spiritual. Steiner emphasised the role of arts as a force for individual and social renewal. Therefore, the arts play a focal role in education and therapy, as well as in personal and professional development in any sphere of human activity.
In the Australian scene, there are well-established vocational trainings and professional practices in the performing arts, including eurythmy, music, the visual arts and architecture. A list of these organisations is currently being collated.
The Astro Calendar
The Astro Calendar is a comprehensive biodynamic guide for the Southern Hemisphere. It follows the movements of the Milky Way, stars, sun, moon and planets through the year in relation to the biodynamic planting rhythms and long-range weather forecasting.
Now in its 33rd year, the calendar is the initiative of astronomer and scientist Brian Keats. It brings together the author's interests in astronomy, biodynamics and Rudolf Steiner's Soul Calendar. In this way, the soul's journey through the year is accompanied by the growth of plants and animals. By working with their rhythms, we grow our souls too.
The 2022 Antipodean Astro Calendar by Brian Keats is now available. Brian also co-authors the Biodynamic Growing Guide.
Religious Renewal
Anthroposophy is not a religion, but Rudolf Steiner did inspire a movement for the renewal of modern Christian life that has become the Christian Community. The Christian Community is a worldwide movement. It is not an 'anthroposophical church', although it is the only Christian church that recognises Anthroposophy as an inspiration for the broadening and renewal of theology.
From the beginning, The Christian Community has been an independent sacramental community, without attachment to any existing church or ecumenical movement. It brings together individuals in its communities who seek to become Christians in a form appropriate for our time.
Ongoing research is central to Anthroposophy, where the spiritual dimensions of everyday questions are explored so as to deepen our knowledge and professional practice.
The School for Spiritual Science is intended to be an esoteric school for spiritual-scientific research. This research is often supported by meditative practice and a set of lessons is known as the First Class. Each state or territory branch has the details of First Class meetings for members, who meet regularly to ponder central questions of Anthroposophy and contemporary human life. The School has both a general section and specific professional sections for the different disciplines. There is also a Youth Section, whose prime focus is communicating, networking and sharing.
There are also many individual researchers working out of or inspired by Anthroposophy, often teaching for higher education providers around Australia. These researchers in particular seek to investigate and understand spiritual science in the context of the 21st century and build connections to the traditional fields of academic research.
Social development, transpersonal studies and biographical work are just some of the other initiatives active around Australia, usually taking form in specific projects or embedded in trainings. You can read about these projects in the local branch newsletters available for members. Local branches also have information about related activities in their area.

We as individuals want change every now and then. For example if we used an iPhone we must be thinking of an android switch and that's how humans are. The same thing can be said about everything in life. You must have been living in an amazing house in the city only, to sell it and move to the countryside. Some of the actions we do cannot be explained and they have their very own reasons. Talking about the countryside, you need to keep in mind that moving there has both benefits and drawbacks. Individuals have a tendency of moving to the country side because they usually have a lot of free space which could be accessed by them. On the other hand, when it comes to the city, you need to keep in mind that this isn't the case. When it comes to the city a lot of things change and everything is quite different. There might be sky scrapers, buildings and even apartments which might give you limited access to everything that you want. This on the other hand could be reversed in the country side. It would also enhance your sprit when it comes to independence and it would also improve your physiological growth.
When you move to the country side you would be blessed with ample space and if that happens to be the case there are various different things which you could do with it. If needed you could convert it into your very own private garden where you could jog every now and then or on the other hand, you could try building a farm with that free space. You could have various different types of animals such as horse, sheep, and cattle or even boer goats for sale.
Since you are in a farm farm equipment for sale might be needed and you might have to invest on them as well. If you feel that a new one isn't necessary you could simply lean towards a retailed one just to get your work carried out. When it comes to urban areas, we all know that the human connection and interaction which we have with one another is quite low. This isn't the case when it comes to the country side. Limited number of individuals might be living in the country side and this would help you make friends with almost anyone. You need to keep in mind that villages have their very own disadvantages. For instance there can always be problems when it comes to communication and signals and these need to be kept in mind.
How To Manage The Tons Of Packages In A Warehouse?
Warehouse is place where thousands of packages are stored in, and retrieve them every single day. In a day, that people send things as a packages that they don't even know how many people do the same. As a result, warehouses seem to be full and packed one over the other on the racks where they reach to the high ends. There are many people who work as the staff in these places just in case of anything. But, man power is not enough to work in a warehouse. It never can run just manually. It need many things. What can be the things that help out to do the daily chores of a warehouse? Let's find out.
Yes! A warehouse needs machine power, what does that mean? As mentioned earlier, warehouse is mass storage place. There're lot of different things inside those packages in the storage which need different kind of care, which mean, for an example, some items need to be stored in cool dry places, where some have to be kept on warm environments. So, to give those necessities, we need electrical items like coolants as in AC machines, not only that, to retrieve those packages from the racks and move around, it needs machines like aisle master VNA forklifts. Just like that, machine power is a much needed factor when managing a mass storage place like a warehouse.
As said earlier, warehouse is a place where you have to move the packages every single second. So that need more than one machine to take care of the situation as well. And you have to be more efficient in this as lot of machines cost a lot, electric forklift is something that you can consider in this situation, as you have to buy these machines in many numbers. But however, you have to have a correct and efficient system to store and retrieve these packages, otherwise, the wrong package can be on the wrong person at any rime. So being fast is not enough, being efficient is the most important.
Transportation is the next main thing, no matter how careful you are at the warehouse, if you transport the wrong package to a wrong place, the package will be lost. To avoid this you should be super careful in transportation. And as well, also, if the package has a deadline, it always has to be delivered in time. If not, there is no use of delivering them at all, therefore managing a warehouse nothing but many things.
Depending on the country you live in, the economy and the kind of upbringing you have had, purchasing your first vehicle can happen at any time. There are many things that you have to keep in mind when you make the decision to purchase your first vehicle. It is an important event and it is a big deal, because it is the first thing of that scale that you will be doing for yourself. The main aim of this article is to give you some tips and important advice on things you have to keep in mind when you make the decision to purchase your very first vehicle. Here they are.
The most important thing you have to keep in your mind is that you have to make decisions based on your budget. Even if you have dreams of getting the best vehicle in the market, you will have to get the vehicle that fits your budget. For an instance, you could apply for a loan but if you do not like things such as loans, you could always look to buy used car in Hong Kong. These reconditioned vehicles are most often in very good condition and you will also be able to afford it without much of a problem.
The second thing you need to keep in mind is that since you do not have the knowledge for this kind of thing, you need to speak to an agent. An agent will be able to tell you what you need to keep in mind and what you need to do. For an instance, if you are going for a reconditioned vehicle, they will be able to direct you to a used car website in Hong Kong where you will be able to select a preference from the comfort of your home.
In addition to the above, you may also want to speak to your closest friends. While you should make the decision for yourself, it might be a good idea to get their input on what they think. Since they have been your closest friends, they might know your likes and dislikes as well. Therefore, once you have shortlisted your choices, you may want to speak to them and see as well.
It is also important that you do not rush any decision when buying your first vehicle. You should not purchase anything unless you are extremely sure about it. Therefore, you have to ensure that you do not rush anything. This might lead to you getting something that you do not like. Ensure that this does not happen.

30 Years Ago in Venice
from Call Someplace Paradise and/or Ghost Town: A Venice California Life
This time, the goofy "Vesta Greenleaf" column, that may or may not be written by Eve Babitz, concerns a visit to her boyfriend in Venice, a painter who also does fantastic floral centerpieces.
Lynne Bronstein had a review in the Times book review section the other day. She wrote about someone else's poetry book.
Big changes at the beach, where I haven't been in literally months. At Brooks Avenue a convoy of trucks loads up with sand. They proceed south to a stretch between the tennis courts and Venice Pier, where a large chunk of beach has been washed away. Most of the vast parking lot is flooded. It's sad and frightening, as if the ocean is protesting the erection of yet another block of condos and the opening of yet another ultra-hip eatery. The piles of sand deposited by the trucks look pitifully inadequate. The waves are enormously high and loud. A lone hot dog surfer continually threatens to crash into the rocks. A whole line of people stand along the beach to watch. None of us have ever seen anybody ride a surfboard like that before. The Meatless Messhall is closed and its signs painted over. Nearby is a new Japanese restaurant with a new ocean waves mural and a samurai-type figure on the front.
On a pole, a tacked-up sign appeals to the compassion of anyone who knows the whereabouts of a certain 12-string guitar - "my livelihood." Another Xeroxed notice written by a real raving lunatic describes his or her experiences with Satanic Methodists. I want it for my collection but it's stuck to the wood with paste. Alky Bob is on his usual bench surrounded by a large group of hangers-on. Someone gives me a flyer, legal-size and printed on both sides, for the Nationwide Geek Crackdown sponsored by someone called Freddie Blassie who has an organization called Geekstompers of America. If you join, you get supplies and equipment, like a generous supply of Geek Repellent, a bumper sticker that says "I don't brake for geeks," etc. Just send about $15 to PO Box 263 Venice CA 90291
When Venice Pier was first built, it was wrecked by a humungous storm before the town's construction was even finished. Abbot Kinney got permission to build a breakwater at his own expense, which cost over $100,000 in 1905 money. Damage to the pier was repaired to the tune of $50,000 and it was around this time that the phrase "Kinney's Folly" came into common use. The pier was rebuilt in time for the grand opening. Special railway lines were installed to bring 70,000 tons of Riverside granite for the breakwater. Apparently this led to further problems by moving currents around, so the water got deep not very far out, and the shoreline eroded. This contributed to the damage done by storms to a lot of houses nearly ten years later.
So Windward Avenue, because of the pier, used to extend three or four blocks west of the boardwalk. There used to be a ship on it called the Cabrillo, which had a cafe inside. At one time there were two gigantic roller coasters on the pier itself and apparently during an overlapping time frame, another one further inland. There was an adventure called "Over the Falls" and a structure that looked like Disneyland's Matterhorn. Kinney died in 1920, and six weeks later the pier burned, as the whole city probably would have if not for a sudden fortuitous shift in the wind. It was rebuilt in time to become the playground of movie stars and mobsters during the Twenties.
In order to counteract the horrible image of Venice, the Chamber of Commerce sponsors self-protection courses and Community Watch meetings. The manager of the Chamber is a third-generation Venetian named Joseph Malconian. He blames the Venice Division police map, which also includes Playa del Rey, Westchester, the Los Angeles Airport, and parts of Palms and Culver City. Last year there were 54 murders in the Division, of which only 14 (or 17, depending on which newspaper you read) were in Venice itself. Sarai Ribicoff was number 49. He also says that once a place has a reputation for being wild and woolly, bad guys from other parts of the city are attracted to the ambiance, which is a good point.
The reporter also talked with a woman who's been a crossing guard near the Westminster school for eleven years and brought up her kids in the canal district. She carries Mace and contemplates getting a gun pretty soon. She says some of the grade school children threaten to send their mothers after her, armed with butcher knives. She tells them, "I know how to use a butcher knife, too."

The Mysterious Case of the Severed Feet in British Columbia
While walking on the beach, many people look out for a number of things: Shells, buried treasure, crabs, and dolphins among them. But if you're on a beach in British Columbia, you might want to keep an eye out for something a little more sinister—about 15 severed feet have washed up on the shores there in the past few years. The latest was found on May 6, wedged in a mass of logs on Gabriola Island, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The feet have been surprising unlucky British Columbians for over a decade. The first appeared back in 2007 on Jedediah Island; it was eventually matched to a deceased man whose family declined to provide additional information. Bizarre, but not particularly alarming—until another one showed up on Gabriola Island less than a month later. More feet followed, and though some were matched to missing persons, most remained anonymous (feet, unfortunately, don't contain much identifying information). Instead, police focused on the fact that each foot was encased in a running shoe—though sizes, genders, and brands differed.
This seems like a real-life episode of The X-Files, but it turns out there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for the severed feet: They're not really "severed," which would indicate cutting or slicing, at all. According to scientists who tested the theory, the feet likely belong to suicide, drowning, or plane crash victims. It's common for decomposing bodies to come apart at the joint, making it natural for the foot to come apart from the leg. But if that's the case, wouldn't hands be similarly susceptible to washing up on beaches? Nope, that's where the shoes come in.
While the rest of the body naturally decomposes in water, feet are surprisingly well protected inside the rubber and fabric of a shoe. The soles can be pretty buoyant, and sometimes air pockets get trapped inside the shoe, making it float to the surface. Most of the "severed" feet have been clad in jogging shoes such as Nikes and Pumas, but at least one case involves a hiking boot. In that instance, the boot (and foot) was matched to a man who went missing while fishing more than 25 years ago. The most recent case also involves a hiking boot.
That leaves the question: Why British Columbia? According to Richard Thompson, an oceanographer with the federal Institute of Ocean Sciences, it's connected to ocean current. "There's a lot of recirculation in the region; we're working here with a semi-enclosed basin. Fraser River, False Creek, Burrard Inlet—all those regions around there are somewhat semi-enclosed. The tidal currents and the winds can keep things that are floating recirculating in the system." Several feet have also been found further south, in Washington state, which shares a network of coastal waterways with British Columbia.
Others aren't so quick to accept this scientific analysis, however. Criminal lawyer and crime author Michael Slade still wonders if a serial killer is afoot. "We also have to consider that this could be a serial killer," he said. "Somebody who right now is underneath the radar. That has to be on the table."

People in Florida are grieving the deaths of the 17 victims of the Stoneman Douglas High school shooting.
Students walk outside the school with hands on eachothers shoulders showing they are not a threat. The Millitary and police evacuated the building as quick as possible.
On February 14th 2018, Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida experienced a tragic nightmare. Right now we know that 17 victims of students and faculty are dead and many more are injured in the attack. The shooter was identified as Nikolas Cruz who was a former student of the school. Nikolas is 19 years old and attended the school a year earlier. It was said the Cruz bought a weapon (AR-15) on February 11th, 2017 and picked it up 7 days later after passing a background check. The day after Cruz got the gun he got suspended for one day and a threat assessment was ordered on him.
Families were tearfully reunited after a traumatic Valentine's Day in Parkland.
Of the 17 people killed in the shooting, 12 were killed in the school, 2 were killed outside, 1 died on the street and another 2 died on the way to the hospital. 14 more people were injured during the shooting. Many people are debating what should happen with guns in order to stop shootings like these and how to make our schools safer. This is what we know on the shooting so far and we will keep you updated when we know more.
UPDATE: It has been a week after the shooting at Stoneman Douglas high school. There has been a lot of talk about gun control and many protests against guns. There have also been many walkouts to remember those who were killed in the shooting. Marco Rubio faced backlash after the shooting in Florida when he told the public that most of the tougher gun restrictions that others have proposed wouldn't have prevented the shooting. Students and staff at a south Florida high school walked out of their school on Tuesday to protest gun violence and marched their way to Stonman Douglas high school where the shooting took place. Protests were also taken place Tuesday at Fort Lauderdale High School and McArthur High in Hollywood, Fla. One of the largest events was when the students and staff at West Boca Raton Community High School marched with police to Stonman Douglas high school 10 miles away chanting "We want change" the whole way. There is a nation wide walkout planed for march 14th for 17 minutes to remember those who were lost in the shooting and to protest guns. Obviously people want change and our hoping to get it, we will have to watch the news to see what will be done about these problems.

Rhüt: The Marauder Expansion
Posted by Dan Thurot
I get nervous every time Root gets bigger. It's the knock-on effect of so many boxes, so many factions, so many little details to keep straight. In contrast with some folks, my experiences with Root have grown more interesting as everybody at the table masters the intricacies of its many sides. Every addition jeopardizes that smoothness. Even if the effect is only temporary, that's one more chance that I'll step away and never muster the will to return.
So it's good news that the Marauder Expansion is less about expansion than about streamlining.
These are not the faction draft cards.
Addition #1: The Advanced Setup
Yeah, yeah, setups aren't sexy. Don't worry, this will be quick.
To put it bluntly, the setup for Root was a horror show. Everyone reaches out to grab their favorite faction, but wait! Somebody pretty much has to be the dumb cats or the dumb birds. Why? Because you're playing with three people, which means you need a "Reach" score of 18+, and the dumb cats are worth 10 points and the dumb birds are 7, while the dumb lizards are only 2, and now you're doing angry math instead of kicking up a delightsome woodland ruckus.
The Reach system made sense from a particular cross-eyed point of view. The new system makes more sense, with no need to cross anything. Every faction has their own card, which is designated by the color of its banner whether it's high-reach or low-reach. Factions are dealt onto the table, and it's guaranteed that one of them will be sufficiently populous to fill up the board. If you only have a certain number of players, there'll be an extra high-reach faction to choose from. The process is easy, quick, and puts the focus on the factions rather than on how much you can wheedle to get your favorite team into play.
Oh, and even better, this makes it a cinch to set up the new hirelings. Which brings us to…
An angry deer rampages through the warband.
Addition #2: Hirelings
Hirelings are the best thing about the whole expansion. They aren't exactly minor factions. Think of them more as mercenaries and you'll have the gist. This still doesn't quite capture everything they're good for. While it's true you'll be hiring them to your side, they're also useful for adding some presence to the map and increasing the number of options in play.
They work like this. Every game uses three hireling factions. Depending on play count, their card will either be face-up, which adds troops to the map for you to employ (more on that in a moment) or face-down. In the latter case, that faction is "demoted." Rather than adding troops, they represent an extra power that's up for grabs.
Speaking of which, gaining the allegiance of a hireling is easy, totally devoid of complicated rules. At the end of your turn you roll a pair of influence dice, the result of which can be spent to swing hirelings to your side. Crucially, though, certain results can only be used if the leader is ahead of you by a certain amount of points. It's a catch-up mechanic, but one that's pleasantly unintrusive. Rather than handing out explicit perks to the trailing player, this is more about expanding their possibility space.
And what a space it is. I'll give one example. In our most recent play we had the Forest Patrol — basically the Marquise de Cat in hireling form. The game opened with a cat warrior on every space, which if defeated would retreat to the Forest Patrol card. Controlling the Forest Patrol gave access to these felines. Once per turn, their employer could use them to either start a battle or deploy all the cats to a single space at once, provided that space already had a cat on it. The implications were significant: anyone wary of the cats was encouraged to spend actions battling them to avoid getting bombed by feline reinforcements later, while their employer could suddenly deploy seven yowling warriors into a single space. Either way, the Forest Patrol represented a bulwark against any faction trying to expand swiftly. Since I was on the warpath, my opponent was able to use them to slow my roll by tossing entire sackfuls of cats between our positions.
What if we'd been playing with more people? Then the Forest Patrol would have been flipped to its opposite side, the Feline Physicians. They bestow the Field Hospitals of the Marquise to their employer, letting you spend a card to recover any fallen warriors. Every hireling is different while still managing to be faithful to their original faction. The Spring Uprising, for example, lets you roll a die to place an uprising token or, if one has already been placed, unleash the guillotines. If used as a demoted faction, the Rabbit Scouts make it possible to swap the high and low combat rolls when defending. It's like the Woodland Alliance is messing with the game even though they aren't present in it.
Very cool. And a fantastic way to expand what's possible in matches with fewer players.
The Keepers in Iron in prototype.
Addition #3: The Keepers in Iron
The most irritating thing about the Keepers in Iron is that they're badgers, so expect to hear "honey badger don't care" more than you ever wanted to.
Apart from that, they represent a solid middle ground between the game's more populous factions (nearly all of them) and the Vagabond. It isn't uncommon to only have a few badgers at a time. And once you've amassed a decent number, you'll probably whittle their numbers back down by having them undertake escort missions for extra cards. In any case, don't anticipate having enough badgerpower to hold much territory.
But that's the beauty of the Keepers: they aren't here to seize half the map. Instead, they're a mobile fighting force that secures an area, undertakes their mission, and then picks up stakes to move elsewhere. The mission in question is the recovery of relics, buried in the forests between clearings. Once a clearing is under their thumb, they can dredge these relics from the forest, march them to one of their waystations, and send it back home where it will remain in a museum until the woodland develops post-colonial theory.
What makes them interesting is the series of questions and contradictions they pose. They're tough — so tough that they ignore the first hit in any battle or ambush — but can't muster enough troops to really go on the offensive. They're mobile but slow, only able to move a single warrior at a time unless they use a caravan. They need cards, but earning cards is no small feat for a faction that doesn't have a proper economy. In other words, nobody wants to fight them, but they're always struggling against attrition as their troops, cards, and actions dwindle. That's because they're conquistadors on foreign shores, here to pillage the land's treasures and then escape back home. As such, other factions tend to skirt around them rather than confronting them directly, which only serves to make their periodic movements all the more upsetting to the status quo.
WE ARE LEGION.
Addition #4: Lord of the Hundreds
Where the Keepers in Iron are a study in staving off attrition, the entire idea of "attrition" is a foreign concept to the Hundreds. They populate swiftly, die in spades, and then keep coming back for more.
This is appropriate, considering they're a horde of rats. And this isn't to say they don't have weaknesses. Their first limitation is that they're always champing at the bit to expand, expand, expand. This is partially driven by their leader, the titular Lord of the Hundreds. He's as mercurial as populist leaders tend to be, always changing his mood and therefore his strategy card, and not always for the better. It isn't uncommon for the Hundreds to outpace their strongholds, finding themselves behind enemy lines and stuck for one reason or another. Suddenly "attrition" isn't such a foreign concept.
That isn't their only problem. The Hundreds do have bases where they recruit fresh warriors, but the rat's share of their numbers accumulate around their Lord himself. They burn everything wherever they go, steal items to fuel the Lord's vanity, and can barely be bothered to craft items. Oh, and because they're all gathered around their leader, their gains tend to be ephemeral. They're terrifying in one spot, and can move that spot with the swiftness of a laser pointer on carpet, but they're still a localized threat more than a general infection.
To be clear, these so-called weaknesses and problems are exactly what I love about the Hundreds. They, like the Keepers, are counterpoints to what we've seen before. One is a marauder, the other a destroyer — distinct entities, despite the parallels. Perhaps best of all, they're tidy factions, easier to learn than Root's trickiest, and they fit effortlessly into the conflict we've fought through so many times before.

When I first saw the KS campaign for this, my first impulse was to auto-back. However, upon reflection I found that I…already had enough Root? Scandalous, I know.
Dan Thurot | March 11, 2021 at 2:11 am
Yeah, I don't blame you. I keep wondering how long they plan to ride this gravy train.
antro94 | March 11, 2021 at 3:09 am
Great article! I have two things I want to comment on:
1. I very much agree with you that Root is at it's best when people become experienced at the game. The opinion that Root is only fun as long as you keep adding "new stuff" is shocking to me.
2. That article about Foucaultian and Marxist assumptions underlying the different factions: I would read it. Twice in a row – at least!
Dan Thurot | March 11, 2021 at 10:08 am
It's sort of like the complaint that the Vagabond always wins. Well, yes, if nobody attacks him. How is that any different from the other factions?
antro94 | March 11, 2021 at 10:43 am
I think the Vagabond is a good litmus test for a group's view on gaming in general. If the answer is "But I don't score any points for attacking them, why would I do it?" then I know we're playing games in quite different ways.
Triskelli | March 11, 2021 at 7:37 am
Follow your heart wherever it leads… especially if it leads to Foucaultian biopolitics and Marxist underpinnings in a boardgame about a possum rummaging through an eagle's garbage https://imgur.com/gallery/YU0lDUZ
After I published this piece, I continued working on that one. It isn't ready for consumption, and I'm not sure I'll finish or want to publish it, but I have no trouble writing goofball things that would only appeal to a rather particular cross-section of readers!
Anjovi | March 11, 2021 at 1:01 pm
The peculiar thing about hirelings that i'm interested about is their potential reach (I believe Cole mentioned that they would try to quantify it in some way during development) and how it might allow the big and small factions to square off 1v1.
I had a conceptualization of it being something akin to the dynamic where player A sways player B to hit player C, because C has a substantial lead. At least that's what I imagined that they were trying to emulate with them
This would contrast the approach of the clockwork factions filling up the board with their troops and competing for the win).
The talk of the possibility space taking precedence to an explicit 'catch up perk' is especially promising!
Thanks for the write up!
whovian223 | March 11, 2021 at 5:57 pm
I have only played Root once on the table, but I would love to play it again. The new factions and other stuff sound really intriguing.
I have played it a bunch asynchronously on the app, though, which actually makes me more likely to play it on the table if the opportunity presents itself because I'll already know how to play.
Anyway, my first thought with the badgers wasn't "Honey Badger don't care".
It was "Badger, badger, badger, badger…snaaaaaaake! It's a snaaaaaaake!!! Badger, badger, badger, badger…"
Dan Thurot | March 11, 2021 at 7:36 pm
Mushroom mushroom!
Thomas Romanelli | March 11, 2021 at 9:57 pm
Very much looking forward to this!
I believe Patrick & Cole indicated there was likely one more expansion before they considered Root to be "done". If they design it, I'll probably back it- damn their expertise in inducing my Pavlovian response!
Also, we… (well, I) need a big box for when it's all done. A Big Box. Like, Ark of the Covenant big, so I need a pushcart to wheel this game to its designated shelf and place it there on a hydraulic lift. Perhaps even bigger, so the box generates its own gravity.
A Root singularity. 😉
I don't feel like I need a big box, but I definitely want to figure a better way to store it. All the factions in one box, all the maps and accessories in another. Something like that.
Jared Neal | March 16, 2021 at 8:58 am
This is the way I store it currently, with the Folded Space insert. However, with the new expansions, that unfortunately won't work anymore.

The Glasshouse, Retford
Situated just off the main market square in the historic town of Retford, The Glasshouse as it is now, is a beautiful double story Restaurant with a full glass front. It wasn\'t difficult to see how the name was born.
The Glasshouse was officially opened in May 2019 when the building lease was purchased from the previous business owner, who\'s own tearoom business was on the decline. With a reputation that wasn\'t helping the new owners, work had to be done to ensure The Glasshouses was to progress sufficiently enough to meet the business objectives. The primary objective being to attract customers that had gone elsewhere and announce to residents and professionals alike that this new eatery was in town.
We asked Rebecca & Jayne, Directors of The Glasshouse, how she went about changing the public perception:
"The Glasshouse needed to ensure the building, inside and out gave a professional feel, whilst offering a relaxed enjoyable experience for its customers.
We felt the branding was very important as this is what gave customers their first impressions. The branding needed to be clear and the colour schemes were important to give it a modern feel. We wanted window decals, two decals were added, a large one above the entrance doors on the glass panel and one on the counter. This gave the initial identification that the business was under New ownership. The beams within the building that had charcoal grey and so the base colour was adopted from that."
What brought you to Brand Savvy?
"We Came on recommendations. We knew of other companies that had worked with you and they were really happy with the end to end service. Location was also key, we wanted to work with a local provider where we could have a personal business relationship with as we were new, we wanted the additional support for the business start-up process which we could get from an experienced team."
The Glasshouse had the initial formal consultation with us in February 2019.
"It started really quickly and we found the process of working with Brand Savvy easy.
The attention to detail was very important and issues were managed before they reached us. Despite challenges along the way, we opened on time. We really liked the personal touch provided, despite a few teething problems with the large decal, Brand Savvy always went the extra mile."
The professional relationship between ourselves and The Glasshouse has flourished over the first twelve months and having designed the logo initially, we currently provide window decals, multiple menus, loyalty cards, Uniform, all printing for posters for marketing purposes.
Having done so much we asked how this has helped meet your business objectives?
"We believe that the look and the professionalism of the whole supply has allowed us to ensure the customers are well informed and improves our customer service. It allows the Front of house staff to do what they need to do.
The feedback from customers has been great. We have a lot of customers using the loyalty cards. We have a group of professional ladies that come in at least four times per week. We retain the customers due to the service we provide, customers come back to complete loyalty cards, the two-work hand in hand.
The uniform allows us to adhere to food hygiene standards and illustrates us as a professional business. It is our belief that as a business we should be providing the staff with uniform, by having uniform it gives the staff pride in what they do and increases productivity and revenue."
We wanted to know what the most important thing we had done to date for The Glasshouse. As it turned out there were two key
elements that were important.
The initial Logo Design was the catalyst and momentum for the rest of the products and services, it sets them apart from the competition.
The uniform has also made a noticeable improvement on staff\'s wellbeing, it makes them feel part of the business, they look very smart, customers have given very positive feedback and this has helped increase the pride of the staff.
It is interesting to see how this has had an impact on business. Whilst it\'s a very difficult question to ask a business who have only been operational for 12 months, the business has had a 10% increase in turnover from the previous owners, customers are coming back, events are held on a regular basis. It really has a buzz about it. So Rebecca and Jayne's drive and passion for the business supported by other business such as ours is mutually beneficial and has a knock on effect
to the local community.
So what is next for The Glasshouse, how can Brand Savvy help further?
We will be working closely together to produce a new website with integrated booking system. An e-pos till system that we can build into the accounts system and web. We will sit down and conduct the consultation on that in the coming months

Probably The Best Business Decision We Ever Made


The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval to Darzalex (daratumumab) in combination with Velcade (bortezomib), melphalan and prednisone – also known as VMP – for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).
With this approval, Darzalex (manufactured by Janssen) is the first monoclonal antibody approved for newly diagnosed patients – also marking the agent's fifth indication for multiple myeloma.
"Slowing the progression of myeloma translates to more time in remission for those battling the disease. This latest approval for Darzalex in combination with VMP is an exciting step forward for newly diagnosed patients and the health care teams who treat them," Paul Giusti, President and CEO of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF), said in a press release. "The MMRF congratulates Janssen, our long-time collaborator in myeloma research, the dedicated health care providers in the myeloma community as well as the patients who donate their time and data on clinical trials, for making this critical new combination therapy possible."
Darzalex study investigator Andrzej Jakubowiak, M.D., Ph.D., who is also Director of the Multiple Myeloma Program at University of Chicago Medical Center, agreed with the significance of the FDA's decision. "This approval is significant as we now have the first antibody-based regimen for treating newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients who are not eligible for a stem cell transplant," he said. "In clinical studies, patients who received treatment with daratumumab experienced a lower risk of disease progression and higher rates of response."
The agency's decision included results from the randomized, open-label, multicenter phase 3 ALCYONE study, designed to compare Darzalex in combination with VMP (350 patients) versus VMP alone (356 patients) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.
VMP was administered at standard doses and daratumumab was added at 16 mg/kg once weekly in cycle 1 and every 3 weeks in cycles 2 through 9. Beyond month 9 in the investigational arm, daratumumab was continued every 4 weeks until disease progression.
The combination reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 50 percent compared to treatment with VMP alone. However, median progression-free survival (PFS) for the combination regimen had not yet been reached, compared to a median PFS of 18.1 months for patients who received VMP alone.
The Darzalex combination also showed improved overall response rates (ORR; 91 percent vs. 74 percent), which included more stringent complete responses (18 percent vs. 7 percent) and complete responses or better (43 percent vs. 24 percent) and very good partial responses or better (71 percent vs. 50 percent), compared with VMP alone.
Patients in the Darzalex arm also experienced a three-fold increase in the minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate (22 percent vs. 6 percent).
"A patient's best chance at lasting remission often begins with a durable response to frontline therapy, because multiple myeloma can become more difficult to treat after relapse," said primary investigator Maria-Victoria Mateos, M.D., Ph.D., Director of the Myeloma Unit at University Hospital of Salamanca-IBSAL in Spain. "Combination therapy with daratumumab resulted in deep and durable responses in newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma who are transplant ineligible, supporting this regimen as an important new treatment option for these patients."
The most common side effects included upper respiratory tract infection (48 percent vs. 28 percent), infusion reactions (28 percent vs. 0 percent) and peripheral edema (21 percent vs. 14 percent) in the combination arm compared with VMP alone. Serious side effects included pneumonia (11 percent vs. 4 percent), upper respiratory tract infection (5 percent vs. 1 percent) and pulmonary edema (2 percent vs. 0 percent), respectively.

Secretary of State Announces Archaeological Evidence of 7,000-Year-Old Site in the Gulf of Mexico
Secretary of State Ken Detzner announced today that archaeological investigations located a 7,000-year-old Native American ancestral burial site in the Gulf of Mexico near Venice. The Manasota Key Offshore (MKO) archaeological site is unprecedented. It is located on the continental shelf in offshore waters, preserved in what appears to have been a peat-bottomed freshwater pond thousands of years ago.
"The Florida Department of State takes our responsibility for the preservation, respectful treatment and security of this rare and unique site very seriously," said Secretary Detzner. "Our dedicated team of underwater archaeologists has done an incredible job of documenting and researching the Manasota Key Offshore archaeological site, and I am extremely proud of the work. Our hope is that this discovery leads to more knowledge and a greater understanding of Florida's early peoples. We are thankful for the cooperation of our partners, including Gulf Coast Community Foundation and their CEO, Mark Pritchett, who has provided invaluable support and integration with the local community."
Out of respect for the individuals buried there and their living descendants, divers and other interested individuals are prohibited from disturbing the site. The site is protected under Florida law and it is illegal to excavate and/or remove any material or human remains from the site. Section 267.13, Florida Statutes, makes it a first-degree misdemeanor to remove artifacts from an archaeological site without authorization. Section 872.05, Florida Statutes, makes it a third-degree felony to knowingly disturb, destroy, remove, vandalize, or damage an unmarked human burial.
Under Florida law, it is the State's responsibility to manage and protect the MKO archaeological site and ensure it is treated in a respectful manner. The site is frequently patrolled by law enforcement and is monitored. Any suspicious or unusual activity will be reported to local and state law enforcement.
Reports of the MKO archaeological site began in June 2016 when divers identified possible human skeletal material just off Manasota Key. The find was reported to the Department's Division of Historical Resources (DHR), Bureau of Archaeological Research (BAR), which has protective authority over unmarked human remains more than 75 years old. Since then, BAR has been investigating the offshore area and has now confirmed a submerged prehistoric site, measuring roughly 0.75 acres, that existed along the shoreline near Venice during the Early Archaic period, some 7,000 years ago.
Research indicates that during this time period, when sea levels were much lower, a small inland freshwater pond was present and ancestors of Florida's indigenous people interred their deceased there. As sea levels rose, the pond was covered by the Gulf of Mexico; despite the flooding, the peat bottom of the pond remained intact. Peat slows the process of organic decay, which allowed the site to stay well preserved.
The MKO archaeological site demonstrates that submerged offshore archaeological sites have survived natural occurrences, such as erosion and hurricanes. Submerged offshore prehistoric burial sites are exceedingly rare, some of the only other examples are located in Israel and Denmark. As the State of Florida continues to document and research the site, we will gain a deeper understanding of Florida's early history and its inhabitants.
BAR has conducted geophysical survey work, sediment sampling, and site testing that has helped identify the soil composition of the site and provided information on the past environment and nature of the cultural deposit. BAR is using these data to reconstruct the prehistoric environment when the site was in use more than 7,000 years ago. BAR is currently developing a long-term management plan for the site that focuses on protection and preservation.
Archaeological endeavors have been assisted by Florida Gulf Coast University, the National Park Service, Florida Public Archaeology Network, Sarasota County Historical Resources, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Law enforcement partners include the Sarasota County Sherriff's Office and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Additionally, the Venice-based Gulf Coast Community Foundation has helped engage numerous local partners in and around Sarasota County to involve community stakeholders, assist in site protection, and plan for educational opportunities. Most importantly, DHR has conducted every step of this project and planning process in communication with the Seminole Tribe of Florida's Office of Historic Preservation. The highest priority of all involved is to honor tribal beliefs and customs with respect to this ancestral resting place.
What They Are Saying
Dr. Timothy Parsons, Director of DHR and State Historic Preservation Officer, said, "March is Florida Archaeology Month; the MKO archaeological site is a revelation for the world of archaeology. As important as the site is archaeologically, it is crucial that the site and the people buried there are treated with the utmost sensitivity and respect. The people buried at the site are the ancestors of America's living indigenous people. Sites like this have cultural and religious significance in the present day. The discovery and on-going efforts to research and preserve the MKO site would not have been possible without the support and commitment from the local community. Everyone from the dive shops to the nearby homeowners to the local organizations and county government played a critical role in this project."
Dr. Ryan Duggins, Underwater Archaeology Supervisor for BAR, said, "Seeing a 7,000-year-old site that is so well preserved in the Gulf of Mexico is awe inspiring. We are truly humbled by this experience. It is important to remember that this is a burial site and must be treated with the utmost respect. We now know that this type of site exists on the continental shelf. This will forever change the way we approach offshore archaeology. As we continue to learn as much as possible from the site, we look forward to sharing that knowledge with the people of Florida."
Dr. Paul Backhouse, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, Seminole Tribe of Florida, said, "We are happy to be working, shoulder to shoulder, with the Bureau of Archaeological Research and the residents of Manasota Key to identify a preservation plan that will allow the ancestors to continue to rest peacefully and without human disturbance for the next 7,000 years."

Whether you hang one on your front door to spread holiday cheer around the neighborhood or use them as festive handmade decorations inside your home, Christmas wreaths are an essential part of any holiday decorating scheme. If you're feeling crafty and have a few spare moments, there are several different kinds of Christmas wreaths you can make to give as gifts or use to add holiday spirit to your own home.
You can make an evergreen wreath for your front door using real evergreen boughs or artificial boughs from the craft store. If you choose real evergreen boughs, you'll need to keep your wreath cool to avoid dropped needles inside your house. You can make this wreath in about an hour.
Begin by clipping the evergreen boughs into small pieces, each about six to ten inches long.
Gather several evergreen pieces into a bundle and tightly wrap florists' wire around the base. Mix the varieties of evergreen together to create each bundle, leaving an 18-inch tail of wire on each one. You'll need about 18 bundles, but you can make more or less depending on your desired fullness.
Place the wire wreath form on your work surface. Lay one bundle on top so that the wrapped ends are resting on the wreath form and the evergreen ends are coming off the form at about a 30-degree angle. Wrap the wire tail around the wreath form to secure the evergreen pieces.
Place another bundle on the wreath form so that the evergreen ends cover the wrapped area of the previous bundle. Secure it with the wire, and repeat with the remaining bundle until the entire wreath is covered.
Add the floral berries to the wreath, using florists' wire to secure them.
Create a hanging loop on the back of the wreath using more florists' wire.
In a well-ventilated area, spray the entire wreath very lightly with spray adhesive. Sprinkle glitter on it to give a frosted effect. Allow the glue to dry, and then hang the wreath on your front door.
Grapevine wreaths are easy to make, and they provide a festive touch indoors and out. If you'll be using your wreath inside, use artificial evergreen pieces. These wreaths also make great gifts for teachers, friends, and family. This simple project will take you less than an hour.
Trim the artificial evergreen and foliage pieces to about eight inches. Gather them into small bundles, and use florists' wire to bind the ends together. Leave a 12-inch wire tail on each bundle. You'll need about six small bundles.
Thread the wire tail of one bundle through the branches of the grapevine wreath form, and wrap the wire around the branch to secure it. Repeat with the remaining bundles so you have three bundles going each direction from the center. Adjust the angle so there is a full evergreen area to use as a decorating base.
Wrap a piece of florists' wire around the bottom of one pinecone, leaving long tails for securing it to the wreath. Repeat with additional pinecones. You'll need about four total.
Use the wire tails to attach each pinecone to the wreath as desired.
Add the floral berries using more florists' wire.
Make a bow out of the plaid ribbon, leaving the ends as long or short as you desire. Use florists' wire to attach the bow to the middle of the evergreen area, covering any exposed wire.
Use additional wire to attach a Christmas ornament over the bow.
Create a wire hanging loop on the back of the wreath and display your creation.
A red berry wreath makes a simple and fast project, and it's a lovely Christmas decoration for inside your house. You can even add small berry wreaths to the top of wrapped packages as holiday gift toppers. This easy wreath will take you about 30 minutes or less.
Begin by wrapping the entire wreath ring in brown raffia. Securely tie the end, but don't cut it.
Place a sprig of red berries along the wreath ring, beginning next to the raffia end. Wrap the raffia around the stem of the sprig to secure it. Knot the raffia again, but don't cut it. Continue adding sprigs until you've covered the entire wreath ring as desired.
Securely tie off the raffia and cut the end. Make a raffia hanging loop if desired.
Make a bow of the glittery red ribbon. Use the raffia to tie it to the wreath as desired.
A pinecone wreath makes a fun and festive holiday project for displaying indoors. The addition of red and white elements give it a Christmas flair without being over the top. This simple project will take about an hour and a half.
Start by painting white edges on a few of the pinecones to simulate snow. Allow these to dry thoroughly.
Wrap a piece of brown florists' wire around the wreath form to create a hanging loop on the back.
Use the glue gun to attach a layer of pine cones to the front of the wreath form. Remove any excess glue, and allow the first layer to dry.
When the first layer is dry, add another layer of pinecones. Mix the white-edged ones in randomly. Continue adding pinecones until you're content with the fullness of the wreath. Allow it to dry.
Use brown florists' wire to attach the red berries and cardinal. Tuck the wire ends under to hide them. If necessary, top with a few more small pine cones to disguise the wire.
No matter which Christmas wreath you choose to make, you'll love seeing your handiwork displayed in your home during the holiday season. Feel free to add your own creative touches to each design or adjust the colors to match your holiday decorating scheme. Handmade Christmas decorations are all about expressing your holiday spirit and your creativity.

A Battling Away Point But The Blades Wanted More
Date: 5th March 2019 at 6:00pm
Written by: Oliver Longden
Olly writes his latest piece following Monday's draw away at Wednesday.
I am away again at the moment but managed to get to a bar to watch the derby match with a few other Blades fans.
I thought the line-up that CW fielded in his starting eleven last night was a fair and strong side. JOC and Basham were back in at the back and Madine started alongside Sharp up front. I know Dowell has been playing well but thought that Duffy might have had a start to see if he could upset the Wendy's again for this game.
I don't think we managed to play our "normal" style of play last night, there weren't many overlapping runs from the backs and it was a bit of a stop start game really, a lot of fouls on both sides, but to be fair it was a derby game and the players will have been pumped up ready for this match on both sides.
We did run out on top with the stats though, with possession, shots and corners, but didn't manage to find the onion bag this time. Having said that though, I'm a bit disappointed that Madine didn't get awarded a penalty in the first half after being pulled down in their penalty area. Other than that I thought the referee was pretty fair throughout the game last night.
I was impressed with our travelling fans last night though, quality support for the lads. You could hear them in full voice drowning out the piggies in the other three stands. At least we never need stadium-mounted microphones to make us sound louder!! Seriously though the fans have been the best twelfth man this season and I'm sure the players are impressed with the support they give.
It puts us third though, which I was hoping, like everyone else, for the full three points to keep the pressure on Leeds and Norwich. As it stands we are now two points behind Leeds, and I think we can keep the pressure on for our next couple of games, which are both at home. Rotherham on Saturday and then Brentford next Tuesday. The crunch match is the following Saturday away at Leeds and it would be good to come away from Elland Road with all the points and hopefully close the gap on Leeds.
I think Leeds will struggle with their next game being away at Ashton Gate, Bristol City seem to have picked up a bit of form, so hopefully the results will go our way this weekend. Likewise with Norwich, they have two games coming up that will test them, home to Swansea and then Hull next week. Swansea and Hull have been upping their game recently, so I can't see Norwich taking all the points from these two games. Fingers crossed though!
I'll be back on the Kop this weekend for the early kick-off against Rotherham. We've more or less got a fully fit squad back together now, so hopefully we can kick on and keep the momentum going.
UTB!
