Top 10 climate stories of 2022
ALAN D. NORTHCUTT
Early in the new year of 2023, it is instructive to review the major climate events of 2022. Of the abundant climate stories of the year, here are the 10 most important.
Global climate impacts. The year 2022 saw 29 billion-dollar weather disasters: 14 thunderstorms/tornadoes, five droughts, three tropical cyclones, one European windstorm and six floods. In Europe, heat waves claimed 16,000 lives. Drought desiccated the Horn of Africa, threatening famine for 21 million in Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia. One-third of Pakistan was submerged in floodwaters, and 75% of its livestock perished. And to erase any doubt that climate breakdown is happening now, a report announced that a shocking 90% of U.S. counties had experienced a weather-related disaster in the previous 10 years.
Waco climate impacts. Waco experienced an intense heat wave, near-record drought, water restrictions and agricultural damage in 2022, features of a warming planet. Waco endured 68 days of 100-degrees temperatures, second only in number to the year 2011. The county has been in drought for over a year, with the most intense drought level (exceptional, D4) this summer and persistently severe (D2) throughout the county now. In fact, the drought is considered of similar severity to the worst droughts in Texas history, those of the 1950s and 2011. With heat and drought, Lake Waco was seven feet below normal, and the city enacted Stage 2 water use restrictions in July. On Dec. 22 Lake Waco was still only 57% full, and Stage 2 restrictions persist. Agricultural damage included extensive loss of the cotton crop, corn and wheat injury, and inadequate water and grass for cattle ranching. Although weather extremes similar to 2022 have occurred before, climate science is clear that anthropogenic climate change makes them more frequent and more severe. Although there is fear of the term "climate change" for local citizens and some media, ignoring climate breakdown will not diminish it.
IPCC AR6. Although the visible impacts of the climate crisis are overwhelming, the periodic Assessment Reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are eagerly anticipated. In 2022, the AR6 on mitigation (ipcc.ch/report/sixth-assessment), a review of the entire world literature, was released. This massive reference details emission cutting strategies in categories of energy, agriculture and land use, buildings, transport and industry. The report warned that the world is on a trajectory for a dangerous 2.4 degrees Celsius of warming by 2100, and "unless there are immediate and deep emission reductions across all sectors, 1.5 degrees C is beyond reach." This report contained the strongest warning to date from the IPCC.
COP27. The annual U.N. climate summit brought together some 35,000 heads of state, negotiators, scientists, activists and industrial representatives from 190 countries in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. After 30 years of struggle and suffering, the world's developing nations received a commitment from wealthy nations to create a fund to compensate them for the "loss and damage" they have suffered as a result of the wealthy nations' greenhouse gas emissions. Unfortunately, on the core task of creating new strategies to slash the globe's greenhouse gas emissions, no significant progress was made.
Kigali Amendment. In October, the U.S. Senate ratified, and President Biden signed, the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. The U.S. joined 137 countries in the phase-out of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants, which are very potent greenhouse gases (GHG). By replacing HFCs with non-GHG refrigerants, the planet will save a vital 0.5 C of warming by 2100. Individuals and businesses should now demand non-GHG refrigerants in HVAC systems and refrigeration devices.
Inflation Reduction Act. The IRA commits $369 billion to combat the climate crisis, the largest climate action bill in U.S. history. The major climate provisions are incentives for U.S. supply chains for wind, solar, carbon capture, green hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuels; plus tax credits for efficient buildings, electric vehicle purchases, heat pumps, EV charging, solar installation and energy research. Permitting reform will speed development of renewable energy projects, but unfortunately fossil fuel infrastructure as well. The bill is projected to decrease U.S. carbon emissions 40% by 2030, nearing the 45% IPCC target — a momentous climate victory when completed.
COP15. As the climate crisis threatens biodiversity, so too the loss of biodiversity worsens the climate crisis. And vertebrate animal populations have declined a shocking 69% over the last 50 years, according to the World Wildlife Fund. To combat this biodiversity crisis, 195 nations assembled in Montreal for the COP15 Biodiversity Conference. Successfully, members signed 23 targets to safeguard the natural world, mandatory within one decade. The most important target is to pristinely maintain at least 30% of the planet's land and waters by 2030, a policy termed "30 by 30."
War in Ukraine. Because of the supply interruption of fossil gas from Russia, the war has increased the use of coal. However, the long-term impact of the war on the transition to clean, renewable energy is controversial. Dr. Fatih Birol, executive director of the highly respected International Energy Agency, recently stated: "Today's crisis is a reminder of the unsustainability of our reliance on fossil fuels and can be a key turning point to move faster towards a cleaner, more affordable and more secure energy system."
The city of Waco and climate action. At the July 19 city council meeting, council members Josh Borderud, Andrea Barefield and Kelly Palmer, and Mayor Dillon Meek, stated their concerns about anthropogenic climate change and pledged to lower the city's carbon footprint. Beginning in January 2022, the new electricity contract for municipal buildings was for 100% renewable energy, solar panels were installed on the new 25th Street fire station and a half dozen electric vehicles were purchased. But it became obvious the council did not really consider climate an emergency, as it was not a priority in council business. Opportunities for electric transportation were consistently ignored, building standards remained unchanged and solar installation was halted. And then Palmer, the one sincere friend of climate action, resigned from the council — dashing hope for robust action.
Electrify everything. Buildings — commercial and residential — produce 30-40% of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. Thus, in 2022 "electrify everything" became a mantra for decreasing the climate warming derived from these structures. Individuals, businesses, churches and governments can contribute by installing photovoltaic systems with batteries, EV chargers, electric stoves, heat pumps, utility-responsive thermostats, heat pump water heaters and electric clothes driers. These actions will also improve indoor air quality and human health.
In October, the peer-reviewed "World Scientists' Warning of a Climate Emergency 2022" noted that "We are now at 'code red' on planet Earth … Rather than lose hope, we must immediately pursue massive-scale climate change mitigation and adaptation. This is the only way we can limit the near-term damage, preserve nature, avoid untold human suffering, and give future generations the opportunities they deserve."

A cheap gas station map may be the key to solving a murder in 'The Cartographers'
By Elissa Nadworny
ELISSA NADWORNY, HOST:
A cartographer at the New York Public Library is found dead in his office. No one suspects murder, but then his daughter, Nell, finds something hidden in a secret compartment of his desk. Why would one of the world's most respected cartographers save a cheap, mass-produced gas station highway map? "The Cartographers" is the latest thriller from Peng Shepherd, who also wrote "The Book Of M." She joins me now. Hello.
PENG SHEPHERD: Hi. Thank you so much for having me.
NADWORNY: OK. So first, will you just tell me a little bit about Dr. Nell? She is this young woman at the center of the story. And, like her dad, she's a map scholar, but she's also had a professional setback.
SHEPHERD: She has, yes. So she is a young woman whose whole life and just her greatest passion has been cartography. She's lived and breathed it ever since she was a kid. Both her mother and father were giants in the field, but her mother passed away when she was very young. Nell has basically spent her whole life trying to live up to her mother's memory in order to impress her father and she thinks also as a way to get closer to him. But seven years before the start of the novel, they end up getting in a really big argument over this map that you talk about that she finds in his desk after his death. And the ensuing fight is so bad that he ends up firing her and destroying her reputation. And so she's been cast out of the only thing that she loves and also the only way she thought to get closer to her father.
NADWORNY: So tell me about that map, the one that she finds in the desk.
SHEPHERD: It is a foldable gas station highway driving map. I don't know if you remember those. They're a little bit less common now that we all have Google Maps.
NADWORNY: Many are stuffed in, like, the side of my driver's side door...
SHEPHERD: Right? Yeah. So...
NADWORNY: ...Bulging out.
SHEPHERD: Yeah. And they used to, you know, give them away at gas stations, I think, practically for free. You would just walk up to the counter with your candy bar and your soda. And then you'd grab a map to the next place you were going and continue on. But that's the kind of map that she finds. And so, you know, really a seemingly worthless thing, but it turns out to actually contain a very deadly mystery.
NADWORNY: I want to talk about phantom settlements. You know, sometimes, they're called paper towns. What are they, and why do cartographers use them?
SHEPHERD: A phantom settlement is a somewhat obscure cartography term that basically means an error on a map, but it's an intentional one, a little dead end road that isn't really there or a small mountain where the land is actually flat. But the upshot is that phantom settlements work like copyright traps.
NADWORNY: So there's a phantom settlement in the book. It's based on a real story, right?
SHEPHERD: It is. It's the most incredible, real-life cartography mystery I've ever heard (laughter). In the early 1900s, there were these two small-time map makers who decided to make one of these intentional errors on their maps. So they made up a tiny town in rural upstate New York, and they named it using a combination of their initials, sort of like a secret signature. And then about a year later, their competitor, Rand McNally, released a map of the same geographical area. And to these two map makers' surprise, they spotted their tiny town on Rand McNally's map. And so they sued, claiming copyright infringement because they argued that the only way that their town could have appeared on Rand McNally's map is if Rand McNally had stolen their data instead of doing their own land survey because if they had done their own land survey, they would have seen that there was nothing there because the town wasn't real. And Rand McNally said, but the town is real. And so these two map makers - they had no idea what to make of that. So they got in their car with their lawyer, and they drove out to the middle of nowhere in rural upstate New York to take pictures of the empty land and claim their victory in court. They were stunned to find a gas station, a general store, houses with people living in them, and an official town record in Delaware County administration logs with the same name that they had given it from their own initials.
NADWORNY: And so what actually happened?
SHEPHERD: What most people think is that Rand McNally rushed to build a fake town there after they were sued because they were trying to cover their butts. But what actually happened was, when these two map makers - when their map first came out and there was that tiny town there, a couple of people who lived nearby in real towns saw this new name on that map and thought, oh, well, I guess a new town has been made for us.
NADWORNY: (Laughter).
SHEPHERD: And so they started moving there. Usually, the world is what makes the map, but in this case it was really that the map made the world.
NADWORNY: Wow. One of the things that drew me to the book was it feels like it's also about obsession...
SHEPHERD: Yes.
NADWORNY: ...Like, being so just all-consumed by your passions.
SHEPHERD: I think you have to be a little bit obsessed to be a novelist, probably (laughter). But I also think it's something a little bit more universal than that because in the book, without spoiling too much, the map that everyone is obsessed with - for some characters, it's about the map. But for other characters, it's really about that the map is standing in for something else that they can't have. It's the next best thing. And I think we have all maybe felt this to some kind of degree where if there is perhaps someone that you care about so much but you can't have them for some reason, sometimes, something else that reminds you of them or represents them to you - it can be almost as powerful as having the person themself. And so you become sort of obsessed with obtaining that thing.
NADWORNY: Yeah. Your reaction at the top of you have to have obsession to be a novelist - I kind of relate to that, too, as a journalist of, like, I'm totally obsessed with a subject. And I research it, and I call everyone I can, and then I write a story. Then I'm on to the next thing. What was it about maps that drew you in?
SHEPHERD: You know, I don't know who doesn't love maps, right? They're so beautiful, and they're so fascinating. And I don't really know anyone who can resist looking at one that they pass by, whether it's, you know, a place they've never been or a very familiar place. And I think part of that is that we're all hoping, even if it's a map of a familiar place, that if we just look long enough and look close enough, there will be some kind of a secret there that we haven't noticed before, you know, kind of, like, an invitation to go somewhere new.
NADWORNY: Oh, I love that. I've started to see maps everywhere after reading your book. Like, so many things can be a map. Like, even this script, you know, as I'm kind of taking notes and following this conversation, there's a map in front of me to do that.
SHEPHERD: Yeah, yeah.
NADWORNY: I love it.
SHEPHERD: Wait, we did just talk about obsession.
NADWORNY: Shoot. We did.
SHEPHERD: (Laughter).
NADWORNY: Everything is all just connected into one ball.
SHEPHERD: Yep (laughter).
NADWORNY: Peng Shepherd's new book is "The Cartographers." Thanks so much.
SHEPHERD: Thank you so much. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

3 years in limbo: Syrian refugee family reunites in Sackville
Nokar Hussein is in Sackville after living alone as a refugee in Lebanon. Years of work and worry finally paid off for Hussein's friends and family when he arrived in Canada last week.
'Hair raising' refugee case took years longer than expected, but Nokar Hussein's family is finally together

After living alone as a refugee in Lebanon for more than three years, Nokar Hussein has been reunited with his family in Sackville.
It was a long, difficult wait, and getting here wasn't a sure thing until he was allowed to board a plane in Lebanon last Wednesday night.
Nokar's brother, Nizar Hussein settled in Canada with his wife, Sozie Ibrahim, and their son Fenner more than three years ago. They came as Syrian refugees and have made a life for themselves, adding a set of twin girls to the family.
As much as they love their new lives, Nizar and Sozie couldn't move on until Nokar was safe with them in Canada.
"It's not easy if your brother, he's not with you. He's in different country and he don't have a good life," said Nizar.
The photo that Nokar Hussein sent his brother to assure him he was leaving Lebanon. Jeff Murray said that when Nokar's friends and family saw the picture, they cried 'tears of joy.' (Nokar Hussein/Submitted)
As refugees, Nizar and his family were sponsored by the Sackville Refugee Response Coalition, with St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church.
"We were told immediately that there was one person who was left behind and that was Nokar," said Jeff Murray, who is the church's minister.
Paperwork was started on Nokar's application the day after the Husseins arrived. Murray said the application was accepted in February 2017.
"I was told that from there on, it should be about nine to 18 months wait. As it turns out it ended up being 33 months."

Murray said he isn't sure why things took so long, but both his church and the coalition were diligent in staying on top of Nokar's case and contacting officials about delays.
Still, months passed, and then the "pre notice of arrival transmission" arrived, signalling that Nokar should be arriving in three to six weeks.
"I was shaking," Murray said as he quickly messaged Nokar, Nizar and Sarah Poirier the good news.
Poirier, chair of the coalition, helped submit Nokar's refugee case, but has since become a de facto member of the Hussein family.
"It's the best week of my life," she said.
Sarah Poirier, chair of the Sackville Refugee Response Coalition, is holding Lilav Hussein, one of Nikar and Sozie's three children. She said the week leading up to Nokar's arrival was 'the best week of my life.' (Tori Weldon/CBC)
But the group wasn't in the clear yet. In the days leading up to Nokar's scheduled departure, Lebanese officials told him he would have to pay exit fees and a flat rate of $250 a year for each year he was in Lebanon.
"We were starting to do the calculation, we realized we've got about $1,000 US to come up with quickly."
"That part was a little bit nerve-racking," said Murray.
A Facebook post asking for help raised nearly $3,000 within 24 hours. Murray said it was a true show of support for the work the groups are doing, but it isn't unusual.
In late 2015, when the Syrian refugee crisis was making headlines, the Sackville community raised $120,000 within three months. Poirier said 15 refugees have been sponsored by the groups since then.
'He might not be able to board the plane'
Even with more than enough money raised, Nokar wasn't in the clear.
While he was trying to get through security at the Beirut airport, his family and a group of supporters were gathering at Nizar and Sozie's home in Sackville.
"There was some discussion about what needs to happen before he can leave the country, and we were here waiting for news that he was on the plane, and things were not happening," said Murray.
"We were told that he might not be able to board the plane."

The brother's were staying in touch via a messaging app. All Nizar could do was pace around the apartment and go outside to smoke cigarettes to cope.
Poirier said the wait for news "was like time stopped."
But then Nizar received a picture from his brother, it was a moment Poirier said she'll never forget.
"All he did was hold up his phone, he said he's ready, he's coming, he's free."
Nokar Hussein would video chat with his family every day from his apartment in Lebanon. Sozie Ibrahim, here with her daughter Simav, worried about her brother-in-law being alone until he was allowed to come to Canada as a refugee last week. (Tori Weldon/CBC)
Nokar had sent a selfie of himself on the airplane, proof he was on the flight departing Lebanon.
The room erupted with joy.
Late the next evening at Moncton airport, Nokar was reunited with his family and a group of friends he'd never met.
Thanks to his support group, Nokar has an apartment and is adjusting to life in Canada. He already speaks some English but uses his brother as his interpreter to say that being here is like being released from prison.
"I'm so happy I'm coming here," said Nokar.

Meet the Fab Five: Sydney Parrish brings Hoosier State hoops passion to Oregon Ducks
Ryan Thorburn
Editor's note: The fifth in a five-part series profiling the Oregon women's basketball team's top-ranked 2020 recruiting class.
The journey began on a small square concrete slab in the backyard of Sydney Parrish's childhood home, where she spent countless hours dribbling, draining jumpers and dreaming of cutting down nets in the Hoosier State.
The 6-foot-2 freshman guard from Fishers, Ind., is the highest ranked prospect in the nation's No. 1 recruiting class.
Parrish brings a Jimmy Chitwood-pure shooting stroke and a championship drive to Oregon.
The No. 8 overall prospect in the 2020 cycle, Parrish led Hamilton Southeastern High to a state title as a junior and was named Indiana Miss Basketball and to the McDonald's all-American team as a senior.
"I didn't really realize how big of a basketball state Indiana was until I came here and went to other states and realized that not every single house on the streets have basketball hoops," Parrish said. "It's a lot different, but it's pretty fun growing up in the Hoosier State and being a basketball player there."
The Hoosiers obviously tried to keep Parrish from leaving the state. Indiana was among the final list of schools she considered, along with UCLA, Iowa, Maryland, South Carolina and Tennessee.

When Mark Campbell made an in-home visit, the Oregon assistant wondered aloud: "How far is Indiana? How far is Purdue? Notre Dame? Michigan? Ohio State?"
Parrish's mother, Aimee, noted that there were a lot of prominent schools within a relatively short driving distance but added one important caveat:
"Syd never takes the easy road. That girls always takes the hard road."
During a visit to Eugene, Parrish was eating at the Wild Duck Cafe across the street from Matthew Knight Arena with the coaching staff as they made their pitch.
As some of biggest names in the women's game stopped by the table, a smile started to spread across Kelly Graves' face. Oregon's head coach watched Parrish interact with Sabrina Ionescu, Ruthy Hebard and Satou Sabally as if she'd known them for years.
"She is such an easy person to talk with. She's got such a great personality," Graves said of Parrish. "Some recruits are intimidated around a Sabrina or a Ruthy or a Satou. It was almost like Sydney was already one of the crew."
Parrish had visited UCLA the day before with her parents, who also accompanied her to Oregon.
"I remember pulling away in the car and she said, 'I don't want to leave,'" Aimee said. "I was like, 'Oh god, what did we do?' It was not that I didn't want her to go there. We loved everything about it, and I trusted the coaching staff and the kids were amazing."
Parrish's parents, who both played college basketball in the state of Indiana, were only concerned about the distance.
But Sydney knew Oregon was her new home 30 minutes after stepping on campus for the first time.
"It was the first place I didn't want to leave," she said. "I know everyone says you get that feeling, but I truly had that feeling. When I was leaving campus I was like, 'I really don't want to leave, I don't want to go home.'"
Aimee said her daughter "hasn't shed one tear" during their long-distance phone conversations and she was able to find a cable provider in Indianapolis that can provide the Pac-12 Network since fans won't be allowed at Oregon home games this season.
"I'm literally (growing up) in the middle of Big Ten country, so I saw every Big Ten school. Coming out here was different," Parrish said. "I can't explain what the feeling was. I just knew it was meant to be, I was supposed to be here.
"My time here has been absolutely amazing so far. Everything is perfect."
'This does not define you, it will catapult you'
Parrish's father Shawn played basketball at Ball State and was an assistant coach at Northwestern and Utah. He was a 6-5 senior on the 1990 team that upset Gary Payton and Oregon State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament en route to the Sweet 16, where the Cardinals lost 69-67 to eventual national champion UNLV.
Aimee (Forsman) scored 1,195 points and grabbed 676 rebounds during her career at Valparaiso (1988-92), which still ranks her 11th in scoring and sixth in rebounding in program history.
"We just were kind of a basketball family," Aimee said. "Syd got super tall really quick. It became her main love."
Parrish's sister Lauryn is a senior on the Kansas swim team. Sydney also competed in swimming and her best sport was soccer until she started focusing on hoops. Shawn coached her in AAU, and Aimee shagged her rebounds from the time she could walk until she walked out the door to leave for Oregon.
"We eventually had to grow it out so I could shoot a 3-pointer," Parrish said of the court in the backyard. "That's where a lot of my work was done. My mom and dad were always by my side, always supporting me, always helping me throughout the recruiting process or just with my game in general."
In the eighth grade, a 14-year-old Parrish tried out for the USA Under-17 team. She shocked herself by making it deeper into the tryouts than some older players, including a few notables who were committed to big-name programs.
"I realized this is something I really wanted to do and I could really be good at it," Parrish said.
Not making the final roster was still painful. Then Parrish's phone buzzed as she received a long, heartfelt text from Ionescu.
"Sabrina was the very first text that she received in the car when she got cut," Aimee said. "I mean, this was pages of text. Sabrina told her, 'This does not define you, it will catapult you.'"
Parrish decided to challenge herself by attending Hamilton Southeastern High and attempting to lead the school to its first Indiana state championship in girls basketball.
Everyone at the school understood the new kid on the block was dripping with talent, but coach Chris Huppenthal still made her practice with the junior varsity on the first day.
"She was down there, I think if we had a clock it would have to be somewhere between four and five minutes," Huppenthal said. "It was obvious. Then it was, 'Hey, get down here.'
"And it wasn't get down here with the varsity, it was get down here on the floor with the varsity, you're one of those five. She was that special."
The budding superstar's attitude is what endeared her with the team more so than her silky, smooth game.
"Sydney has always had that kind of personality like, 'OK, I'll go over there with the JV, but I'll show you, and I'll be back over here with you pretty soon,'" Huppenthal continued. "She's always had that competitive attitude. She's not going to think that she's entitled to anything, but she's going to show you real fast."
Huppenthal says he limited one of the nation's top recruits to about 15 or 16 shots per game knowing that Parrish would acquiesce to get teammates involved.
It was a different storyline when Hamilton Southeastern trailed 22-20 at halftime of the state title game in front of an NBA-sized crowd at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, the Indiana Pacers' home arena.
The championship adjustment in the locker room was verbalized by Malea Jackson, a senior guard who now plays at the University of Illinois-Springfield.
"Malea Jackson looked at Sydney Parrish at halftime and said, 'Hey, you've got to take this game over,'" Huppenthal said. "That was it. Sydney took it over. …
"It was vintage Sydney Parrish. We were in a close game, and just how Sydney did so many times in her career, it was like, 'Just get on my back and I'll take you.'"
Parrish scored 21 of her 30 points after the intermission to lead Hamilton Southeastern to a 55-44 victory. She was 11-for-16 from the field, 7-for-7 from the free-throw line, grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked two shots.
"Indiana basketball is incredible. There were 10,000 people there and you couldn't by a ticket on our side," Aimee said. "She had a crazy third quarter, and as she started getting hot everyone started getting hot. It was everything you dream of."
'What Indiana kid can't shoot?'
Graves wasn't just grinning during the recruiting visit because he sensed the nation's best shooting prospect would be joining the Ducks.
The coach knew that if Parrish was the first domino to fall Oregon's way it could help close the deal on a special class.
Soon after choosing the Ducks, Parrish was courting Maddie Scherr and Kylee Watson, two other five-star prospects she grew up competing against, as well as their families. Te-Hina Paopao and Angela Dugalic also jumped on board to create the program's version of the Fab Five.
"It was huge," Graves said of Parrish's commitment. "I think she was the instigator and influencer. The other players wouldn't have come if they didn't like what they saw here, but Sydney was such a positive influence and she's just such a nice person and that helped.
"She was our highest-rated player. Any time a top-10 player commits to you it lends credibility. She was the best recruiter we had."
Parrish averaged 24.8 points, 8 rebounds and 2.4 steals during her senior season of high school. Like her four Oregon classmates, she was the best player in her state and one of the most coveted prospects in the country.
Now the true freshmen are adjusting to the competition level as the three-time defending Pac-12 champions prepare for the 2020-21 season.
Parrish will have a chance to spend a year with 6-2 senior sharpshooter Erin Boley, a preseason all-Pac-12 selection who shot 44.1% from 3-point range last season.
"Not many people get to learn from the best shooter in women's college basketball," Parrish said. "I'm really just trying to take it all in and try to do my best to become as good a shooter as she is one day."
Graves believes this is the most potent shooting team he will put on the floor at Oregon to date. Taylor Chavez, Taylor Mikesell, Jaz Shelley and Scherr are also capable of erupting from the perimeter at any moment.
"What Indiana kid can't shoot?" Graves said. "Sydney was one of the best in the country at it. She has deep range. But she's more than that. Everybody considers her a shooter, but I consider her as a scorer. She gets to the line, she has a good post up game and she gets points off the offensive glass."
The Parrish family was on vacation in Florida during spring break in 2019 when Ionescu and the Ducks broke through and earned the program's first trip to the Final Four. Sydney pleaded with her parents to extend their trip and get tickets for the national semifinal between Oregon and Baylor in Tampa, Fla.
It was agreed upon that Sydney, who hadn't committed yet, would not wear Oregon gear in case she bumped into the large gathering of coaches at the event also in pursuit of her talent.
Before the opening tip, Parrish went down to the court for a selfie. The players on the Ducks recognized her and starting calling her name and waving.
"When Sydney returned to our section, all of the people around us were like, 'How do you know them?'" Aimee said. "That was a big turning point for her. She could see herself in that same position."
Eight months after the Big Three's national championship plans were canceled due to COVID-19, Parrish and the Fab Five will begin their journey with the Ducks, a dream that began in the backyard and continues with a belief it will end with nets being cut down.
"I asked her, why Oregon? She said, 'I want to win the national championship,'" Huppenthal said. "There's a lot of other great players going there, and I think if everybody has the unselfish attitude that Sydney has and really wants to win the way that she does, I hope there is a national championship in her future."

On Tuesday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sent a separated child from the U.S.


If you listen, besides the sound of the wind and hawks wheeling effortlessly overhead, you can hear horses straining against their leather harnesses, wooden wagon wheels creaking, and teamsters swearing and cracking the whip over the necks of the sweating beasts.
You may see the ghost of an old white-bearded black man, the first "white man" on the mountain, meeting exhausted horses and men just as the wagons enter the cool shade of the trees after climbing 4000 feet in the broiling sun. He's driving a wagon loaded with cool water from the first spring discovered on Palomar Mountain. If you try, you can almost taste the dust and the sweet water on your tongue, so cold it makes your teeth hurt. . .
By all accounts, that's what he called himself. The grade named after him was once the only way up the mountain, and it was in continual use by all the residents until east grade was built in the 1940s to transport the 200 inch mirror for the Hale telescope up to Palomar Observatory.
In fact, the Highway to the Stars was built especially for the mirror; the rest of the observatory's paraphernalia came up on the Harrison Grade, the way settlers had "made the grade" for sixty years or more.
The grade starts in Pauma Valley, just a few hundred yards from the intersection of Cole Grade Road and Hwy 76.
When you are coming down Cole Grade from Valley Center, you can see the Nate Harrison Grade winding its way up the mountain, almost to Boucher Point, the site of the now sleeping CDF watch towner, built on a cliff at 5438 ft.
The grade criss-crosses up the mountain in long switchbacks, that, from a distance, look like hairline fractures tracing the mountain's face. The grade is about 10% on the average, which means that it's definitely four-wheel drive territory, unless, like the few residents who use it, you know it well.
Although you can undoubtedly get up to the top of the mountain in less than an hour if you push it, a road trip up Nate Harrison Grade is definitely a trip to be savored.
So if you plan to take the trip, allow at least a couple of hours, which includes time to pull off and look down into the Valley, or, if it's a clear, Santa Ana driven day, the channel islands off Mexico.
It's the perfect poor man's National Geographic expedition, with no discomfort, some adventure, and a lot of beautiful scenery.
Many years ago they used to iron out the ruts and holes in Nate Harrison Grade by dragging a tree downhill behind a team of horses. Often logs would be dragged behind wagons whose owners were afraid that their brakes weren't up to the challenge.
About 1904 (according to Leo Calac) a Moravian Missionary to the Indians bought lumber from the mill on top of Palomar Mountain. He used it to build the chapel that is still used at the Rincon Reservation.
The missionary, David Woosley, not only brought the lumber for the church, but also for his house down the grade by horse and buggy, dragging the log as a brake.
Another minister, Baptist preacher Thomas J. Wood, who homesteaded Witch Creek (near Santa Ysabel) in the 1870s and used to take his buggy up Nate Harrison Grade once a month to bring God's word to the mountain top.
According to his grandson, Jim Wood, on the way back down Wood would stop and get a drink from Nate. Then he would pay him a quarter to cut him a pine log to drag behind his wagon as a brake.
Some parts of the road today look like they might be kept "flat" the same way. About two miles into the grade from the valley floor it becomes just wide enough in most places for two cars to pass each other, although there are many switchbacks and hairpin curves where you could very easily have a crack-up.
Fortunately, there's not enough traffic for that to be a real problem.
For the first fifty years or so after he settled on the mountain Nate Harrison used to greet wagons with buckets of water for their horses. He adapted well to the Twentieth Century, and towards the end of his life he would greet automobiles with water for their radiators.
He is said to have come from a Southern state as a slave accompanying his master who was prospecting for gold in Merced. He was one of the "Forty-Niners" who helped get California off the ground by the giving the whole world a gold transfusion a hundred and fifty years ago.
"The master died and Nate drifted south until he reached the Palomar area and settled down to spend the rest of his life in an old cabin and being a 'character' to all who knew him. He had little worldly goods, but was rich in kindness, generosity and possessed a lively sense of humor.
Of course, the Indians had been going there for centuries to gather acorns for the making of Wee-Wish, which made up 60% of their diet.
As Davis's memoirs observes, Harrison operated what in today's parlance was the first "filling station" along the route, comparable to our own 7-11's, except, instead of Big Gulps, he offered cool buckets of Palomar spring water.
One of his favorite pastimes was to tell tall stories about how he sought refuge on the mountain and didn't know for years that there had been a Civil War and that one of its results was to free the slaves.
But it appears he made that story up, according to an article published in Southern California Rancher in May of 1952. That article says Lysander Utt came from Virginia during the Gold Rush, bringing one slave with him. He was operating a trading post in Tustin when California issued a decree making slavery illegal.
Harrison probably came to Palomar because his former master had property interests in Agua Tibia. He first settled in Doane Valley and then moved below the snow line and planted an orchard.
One or two of the trees that he planted remain today, still bearing fruit if you can get to them before the birds do.
Although one might suppose that, as an "escaped slave" Harrison was an outlaw, actually he was always on the side of law and order. He was on the posse that tracked and strung up the murderers of the Smith that Smith Mountain was called after. The mountain was a refuge for cattle rustlers and Harrison often helped the sheriff catch them too.
In these parts, truth and legend do tend to meet in a gray tidal zone, and so with colorful characters like Nate Harrison, it's hard to tell where the truth leaves off and the fact begins. And, to a certain degree, it stops mattering.
For instance, there's the legend that when Nate Harrison finally got deathly ill and was checked into a hospital in San Diego, that the nurses had to peel layer after layer after layer of longjohns that he apparently wore until they rotted off his body.
He was supposedly 101 (or so he claimed, but then, does it really matter?) when he finally died in 1920.
But the reaction of his neighbors to his death is a fact not a legend. We still have the monument, made from white quartzite, mined at considerable difficulty and transported by horse drawn wagon to the spot on the grade where the small but dignified pile of rock greets the rare traveler today.
Bob Davis, an 83 year old resident of Palomar Mountain recalls that his father, Stanley R. Davis, built the monument. He also built the oldest remaining cabin on the mountain in 1918, the same year the family brought little Bob to live there. Davis, a contractor, also built the massive fireplace at the Palomar Mountain Lodge.
The monument was erected and a bronze plaque was affixed to it and quite a crowd of people attended the dedication and admired the handiwork. Davis's grandfather played My Old Kentucky Home and other favorites of Nate's on the violin.
Modest, even "tiny" are adjectives that spring to mind in seeing the stones that outline the cabin and indicate where the fireplace was.
Nearby an old Indian trail runs through, evidence that while Nate was the first "White Man" on the mountain, he was certainly not the first man.
Nate is known to have married an Indian woman, who had two children, although whether they were his children is unknown.
Although he stuck pretty close to home most of the time, Nate used to occasionally get on his horse to ride further up the mountain to visit a Basque sheep herder named Boucher, after whom Boucher Heights was named.
He was also good friends with George Doane, after whom Doane Pond is named.
that was probably the greatest gift of all" [David Ross].

Community Corrections Order for Sydney member of terror group
- Any -Media ReleasesNews
-Year20152016201720182019
On 7 May 2019, the NSW Supreme Court sentenced 40 year-old Renas Lelikan to a three-year Community Corrections Order for being a member of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has been a proscribed terrorist organisation in Australia since 17 December 2005.
Mr Lelikan had earlier pleaded guilty to being a member of the PKK between April 2011 and August 2013.
During the period of his offending, Mr Lelikan lived in Northern Iraq and Turkey where he associated with other members of the PKK.
In sentencing, Justice McCallum found that Mr Lelikan's offence did not warrant a custodial sentence. Her Honour noted that Mr Lelikan had previously spent almost three months in custody, which had an extreme impact on him.
Mr Lelikan was arrested and charged with this offence on 20 July 2016, after he returned to Australia from Iraq.
Summary of charge:
One count of intentionally being a member of a terrorist organisation, namely the PKK, between about 5 April 2011 and 15 August 2013, contrary to s102.3(1) of the Criminal Code (Cth).

New Perspectives on Method, Style, and Pedagogy.
This collection of essays grew out of the Project on Lived Theology at the University of Virginia. The editors explain, "With more than a decade of workshops, conferences, seminars, and site visits, which have convened theologians, biblical scholars, sociologists of religion, historians, ethicists, pastors, and community development workers, the time seemed propitious to take stock of the lessons learned and insights gained" (vii). The participants in this publication are only a fraction of the people who have been part of the project.
The editors observe, rightly, that "as an academic discipline, theology has often ignored the lived consequences of its commitments" (vii). This is the case in many academic disciplines. Bible study and preaching cannot end without application. The study of history should not end with the ability to reproduce disconnected facts. Ethics must produce action. The goal of an academic exercise should be transformation and life change. This is particularly true when the discipline is performed by people with religious convictions, particularly Christianity.
According to the editors, "by affirming the methodological centrality of faith's redemptive practices, shared spaces of collaboration emerge across the ecumenical and theological spectrum. Lived Theology clusters around the conviction that the revitalization of public theology in America needs a theological culture that is both robustly public and confessional" (viii). By public theology they mean "the generous sense of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's conviction that grace-formed and authentic discipleship fortifies 'civil courage' and 'ultimate honesty'" (ibid.). Many of the essays in this volume explicitly engage with Bonhoeffer. Even when he is not acknowledged, Bonhoeffer's shadow is still there.
Most of the essays in this book summarize or reflect on the author's works published elsewhere. They introduce the reader to a variety of perspectives while also showing where to read more if one's appetite has been whetted. Since the essays encourage an active and public lived theology, the final chapter by John W. de Gruchy, "Epilogue: Lived Theology Is Being Led into Mystery," is a helpful reminder of the mysterious nature of the theological task as DeGruchy reflects on the tragic death of his young son. This chapter should be required reading for those who desire to know how to grieve with those who grieve. He writes, "In owning my grief and counseling others I soon discovered that . . . questions, rather than neat answers, became part of the quest, an opening up and a deepening of the mystery into which I was being led. . . . Those of us who are theologically trained may think we know the answers, until we shift from being Job's comforters to being Job himself, from sitting with others who grieve, to being those who grieve" (250). Later, he writes on grieving in hope, "Believing in the resurrection of Christ means that in the darkest times of personal tragedy or political violence, we affirm that God's purpose for the well-being of creation will not finally be thwarted" (252). Thanks be to God!
This book is a helpful introduction to a conversation that has been going on for some time. It will likely raise more questions than answers, which will drive the interested reader back into the literature behind these essays, and presumably that is what the editors and authors intend. The authors assume some understanding of the theological and biblical foundations for their positions. Readers who expect extensive interaction with the Bible will be frustrated, or perhaps, they should be encouraged to dive back into the literature behind these essays. The participants in this project come from a variety of Christian traditions. Those who desire to learn how to do lived theology would do well to watch these scholars at work.

Die Società Anonima dell'Acquedotto De Ferrari Galliera, abgekürzt ADFG, war eine 1880 gegründete private Gesellschaft für die Energie- und Wasserversorgung von Genua. Sie wurde Ende 2005 mit anderen Gesellschaften der städtischen Wasserversorgung fusioniert und ging in der Mediterranea delle Acque auf, die nach mehreren Fusionen 2019 zur Gruppo Iren gehörte.

Geschichte
Genua litt seit der Römerzeit unter Wassermangel. Lange Zeit wurde die Wasserversorgung nur durch den , den alten Aquädukt sichergestellt. Im Jahre 1853 wurde sie durch den Acquedotto Nicolay erweitert. Dieses Bauwerk fasste das Wasser nördlich des Apennins und leitete es durch den Giovipass-Tunnel der Bahnstrecke Turin–Genua in die Stadt. Die stark wachsende Industrie im Val Polcevera verlangte bald nach einem weiteren Ausbau der Wasserversorgung. Im Jahre 1871 wurde ein Projekt vorgestellt, das weiteres Wasser für die Versorgung und Energienutzung von der Nordseite des Apennins nach Genua leiten sollte. Das Projekt wurde von drei Ingenieure – die Brüder Niccolò und Salvatore Bruno und Stefano Grillo, ausgearbeitet. Eine erste Konzession für das Projekt wurde 1873 erteilt. Nachdem die Finanzierung geklärt war, wurde 1880 die Gesellschaft Acquedotto De Ferrari Galliera gegründet, deren Namen sich an Raffaele De Ferrari (1803–1876), Herzog von Galliera anlehnte. Raffaele war ein Investor im ehemaligen Königreich Sardinien, der durch den Ausbau des Hafens von Genua ein hohes Ansehen in der Bevölkerung erlangte. Nach ihm ist auch die Piazza De Ferrari benannt.

Bau
Mit dem Bau des Aquädukts wurde 1880 begonnen. Als Erstes wurde die Staumauer des Lago Lavezze, auch Lago Lungo genannt, und der Stollen unter dem Apennin hindurch errichtet. Die Staumauer war 1883 fertiggestellt.

Das auf der Südseite des Apennins auf einer Höhe von 622 m über Meer austretende Wasser musste bis Genua eine große Höhendifferenz überwinden, die nicht nötig war für den Druckaufbau in der Wasserversorgung. Um die Wasserleitung von Druck zu entlasten, wurden drei Entlastungsbecken gebaut, die den in der Wasserleitung auf etwa 18 bar reduzierten – es waren damals noch keine Röhren für hohe Drücke verfügbar. Das erste Becken befand sich 110 Höhenmeter unterhalb des Ausgangs des Stollens, das zweite wiederum 110 Höhenmeter unterhalb des ersten und das dritte 153 m unter dem zweiten.

Erste Kraftnutzung
Der erste Energiebezüger des Aquädukts war die Jutespinnerei Costa in der zur Gemeinde Campomorone gehörenden Fraktion Isoverde, die ab 1886 über eine 400 m lange Transmission vom Kraftwerk Galvani mit mechanischer Antriebsenergie versorgt wurde. Das Kraftwerk stand an der Stelle des untersten Entlastungsbeckens, die Transmission wurde von zwei Rieter-Turbinen angetrieben, die gesamte Leistung betrug 600 PS.

Da das Kraftwerk mehr Energie produzieren konnte als die Spinnerei benötigte, sollte die überschüssige Energie zur Stromerzeugung genutzt werden. Die Energie sollte mit einem Gleichstromnetz Betriebe im Val Polcevera und die Stadt Genua versorgen. Nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten bei der Umsetzung dieser Idee wurde der Schweizer Ingenieur René Thury von Cuénod, Sautter & Cie. aus Genf zur Hilfe geholt. Nach Versuchen mit einer 140 PS-Turbine im Jahre 1898 wurde 1890 im Kraftwerk Galvani die Stromerzeugung ausgebaut, wobei die elektrische Energie mit der Gleichstromübertragung System Thury an die Industrie im Val Polcevera verteilt wurde. Die Turbinen für diese Anlage und die beiden folgenden Kraftwerke stammten von Faesch & Piccard.

1891 war die Staumauer des zweiten Sees, dem Lago Lungo, auch Lago Bigo genannt, fertiggestellt, sowie ein zweites Kraftwerk mit dem Namen Volta beim obersten Entlastungsbecken in Betrieb genommen. 1892 folgte das dritte mit dem Namen Pacinotti beim mittleren Entlastungsbecken.

Neue Kraftwerkzentrale in Isoverde
Die Technik der Thury-Systeme war überholt, im Besonderen führte en Fehler im Teil eines Systems zum Totalausfall der Anlage bis das entsprechende Gerät repariert oder überbrückt wurde. De Ferrari Galliera beschloss deshalb am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts, die bestehenden drei Kraftwerke durch ein einziges neues zu ersetzen. Dadurch konnte auch die nach Verbesserungen an den Staudämmen verfügbare größere Wassermenge verarbeitet werden, die von den bestehenden Kraftwerken wegen zu kleinen Schluckvermögens nicht mehr verwendet werden konnte.

1904 wurde bei Isoverde ein neues Kraftwerk zusammen mit einem dritten Stausee, dem Lago Badana in Betrieb genommen. Das Kraftwerk hatte eine ums Vierfache erhöhte Leistung gegenüber der gesamten Leistung aller drei bestehenden Maschinenhäuser. Diese wurden durch das neue Kraftwerk ersetzt, wobei gleichzeitig die Energieerzeugung auf Wechselstrom umgestellt wurde. Das im Kraftwerk turbinierte Wasser wurde in einem Ausgleichsbecken gesammelt, das auch als Absetzbecken für Schwebstoffe diente, sodass das Wasser für die Trinkwasserversorgung von Genua verwendet werden konnte.

In den Jahren 1906 bis 1908 wurde die Staumauer des dritten Stausees, des Lago Badana, errichtet.

Im Jahre 2006 musste der Lago Badana entleert werden, weil die Staumauer undicht wurde. Eine Reparatur stellte sich als schwierig heraus zumal die Umgebung des Sees zu einem Naturpark gehört. Die Reparatur der Staumauer wird frühestens 2020 angegangen.

Technik

Heutiger Ausbau
Die Anlage besteht aus den beiden Stauseen Lago Bruno und Lago Lungo im 24 km² großen Einzugsgebiet des Gorzente, die das Wasser der niederschlagsreichen Winter über den Sommer speichern können. Der dritte zur Anlage gehörende Stausee, der Lago Badana ist derzeit leer, weil die Staumauer undicht ist. Vom Lago Bruno, auch Lago Lavezze genannt, führt ein 2,3 km langen Stollen unter dem Monte Guana hindurch auf die Südseite des Apennins, der auf der Höhe von 622 m über Meer aus dem Berg austritt. Die daran anschließende Druckleitung ist 1340 m lang und hat eine Fallhöhe von 352 m. Das aus Beton und Mauerwerk bestehende Maschinenhaus steht an der Chiappa ungefähr ein Kilometer von Isoverde entfernt im Weiler Gallaneto.

Thury-System
Alle Kraftwerke erzeugten Gleichstrom, der nach dem Thury-System verteilt wurde. Jedes Kraftwerk truge den Familiennamen eines italienischen Wissenschaftlers. Es waren dies Luigi Galvani, Alessandro Volta und Antonio Pacinotti.

Jedem Kraftwerk war eine eigene Stromschleife nach dem Thury-System zugeordnet, die keine Verbindung zu den anderen Schleifen hatte. Es bestanden somit drei Leitungen: eine 14,4 km lange Leitung vom Kraftwerk Galvani in den Stadtteil San Quirico, eine zweite 46,2 km lange Leitung vom Kraftwerk Volta ins Stadtzentrum und eine dritte 32,7 km lange Leitung vom Kraftwerk Pacinotti zum Bahnhof in Sampierdarena.

In der Schleife waren Generatoren und Verbraucher in Serie geschaltet. Die dadurch erreichte hohe Spannung in der Übertragungsleitung, hielt die Verluste in Grenzen. Ein Strom von 47 A wurde in der Schleife konstant gehalten, die Spannung variierte mit der Belastung zwischen 450 V im Leerlauf und 6000 V unter Volllast. Bei Schwachlast wurden Generatoren weggeschaltet, indem sie überbrückt wurden.

Im Kraftwerk Galvani standen im Endausbau fünf Maschinensätze. Jeder Bestand aus einer 140 PS-Rieter-Turbine mit zwei beidseitig angeflanschten 6-poligen Thury-Generatoren. Die Regelung der Spannung erfolgte durch Änderung der Drehzahl der Generatoren, die zwischen 20 und 475 Umdrehungen pro Minute schwanken konnte.

Das Kraftwerk Volta hatte fünf Maschinensätze mit 140 PS-Turbinen von Faesch & Piccard in Einsatz. Im Gegensatz zum Kraftwerk Galvani, wurde beim Volta der Strom in der Schleife nicht über die Änderung der Maschinendrehzahl, sondern mit der Änderung des Erregerstroms der Generatoren konstant gehalten. Die Turbinen hatten dadurch eine konstante Drehzahl, die von einem gemeinsamen Regler für alle Turbinen konstant gehalten wurde. 1891 wurde Strom mit einer Gesamtleistung von 300 kW an zehn Kunden geliefert. Darunter war auch die Stearinproduktion der späteren Mira Lanza und die später in der FS aufgegangenen Bahngesellschaft Strade Ferrate del Mediterraneo, welche die Energie für die Bahnhofsbeleuchtung verwendete.

Das Kraftwerk Pacinotti hatte vier 140 PS-Maschinensätze, die wiederum mit Drehzahlregelung der Turbinen betrieben wurden. Die Regelung erfolgte über eine quer über die Maschinensätze verlaufende Welle, die von einem 1 PS-Motor angetrieben wurde, der abhängig von der Stromstärke in der Thury-Schleife die Wasserzufuhr zu den Turbinen erhöhte oder herabsetzte.

Erhaltene Teile der alten Anlage
Die alten Kraftwerke sind teilweise noch erhalten. Die Zentrale Galvani dient als Wohnhaus, von der Transmission zur Jutespinnerei ist noch ein Sockel erhalten.

Salmon sector to use Chinese technology against harmful algae
[Chile, China] The technique, known as flocculation, was able to convert green microalgae-laden water into clear crystal water in China, and now SalmonChile is trying to implement it in the south.
In 2008, at the Olympic Games with which China managed to impress the world, authorities took a striking decision to ensure the quality and purity of its water during water competitions. Thanks to technology known as flocculation, organizers of the Beijing event managed, within a few hours, to convert totally green water bodies, due to microalgae, into crystalline water.
And that same technique is the one the Chilean salmon industry intends to use to combat, among other things, the harmful algae bloom that last year meant the loss of 39,000 tonnes of salmon.
According to David Farcas, general manager of the research laboratory for the Centrovet agricultural and veterinary industry, the project started some time ago when they were approached from the Technical Institute of Salmon (INTESAL), SalmonChile's technical branch, with the idea of adapting the patented technique by Chinese scientists for the Chilean industry.
"It is a question of using clay, which is a natural component of the sea, to capture microalgae and finally eliminate it. The technology developed by the Oceanographic Institute of China consists in modifying the electrical charge of the clay surface in such a way that when it contacts the microalgae, it sticks and then sinks into the sea floor, where it can not develop due to the lack of oxygen in the depth," explains Farcas.
Operational by 2018
Thanks to the joint work between Centrovet and INTESAL, the latest tests of the technology are currently being carried out in the United States to validate the best way to use the clay and to specifically control the microalgae that have affected the local salmon industry.
"The idea is that it is a solution to Chile's specific problems, so we have to get approvals from environmental authorities, which we hope will materialize in 2018," says David Farcas.
The expert comments that the intention is to incorporate the respective governmental entities (SAG, IFOP, SERNAPESCA) to the process, since the technology also has the potential to mitigate the algae blooms on mussel farming and artisanal fishing.
"The idea is that this technology can effectively help reduce the risk of algae blooms, along with other technology that is being implemented by salmon companies to monitor and mitigate the impact of microalgae," concludes the general manager of Centrovet.

For years, tech and media companies big and small have been trying to pivot to video. In 2018, a lot of those pivots are turning into trips and falls. But not here at Gizmodo. We're making videos about tripping and falling. Other stuff, too!
Superstructures—giant, impossible machines or buildings, popular in science fiction, more or less impossible in reality—are the absolute best. They are my jam. The Dyson Sphere is the best one.


Japanese Episode 270: "Raibaru Taiketsu! Kamekkusu vs Lizaadon!"
English Episode 608: "Can't Beat the Heat!"
The battle between Satoshi and Shigeru continues! Shigeru has just released his Kamex, and it quickly defeats Satoshi's Heracross with a Hydro Pump attack. Satoshi's next pokemon is his Betobeton, who is able to hold its own against the water pokemon. However, after sustaining a Hydro Pump attack, Satoshi decides to recall his poison-type pokemon. Next up is Satoshi's Bayleef who, despite its type advantage, also falls before Shigeru's pokemon. Since Satoshi has already lost three of his pokemon, a five minute time-out is called. After the break, Shigeru switches his Kamex out with his WIndy, while Satoshi calls on his Kabigon to battle. Kabigon is able to come through with a victory after attacking with a Hyper Beam. Satoshi's winning streak continues as Kabigon uses Ice Punch to destroy Shigeru's Nidoqueen. Shigeru's next pokemon is Hassamu, who uses its speed to deliver a Metal Claw that knocks Satoshi's pokemon out. Satoshi brings his Betobeton out again, but Hassamu is able to use a combination of a throwing attack and Speed Star (Swift) to earn a victory. Satoshi only has one pokemon left, but he's saved his strongest pokemon for last--Lizardon. The fire-type quickly takes care of Shigeru's Hassamu, so Shigeru is forced to use his strongest pokemon--Kamex. As Satoshi's pokemon is busy dodging Hydro Blast attacks, Satoshi has his pokemon use its Flamethrower attack on the rocky field, confining Kamex to one spot. Kamex uses its Hydro Pump to cool down the field, and in the resulting steam Lizardon is able to move in close without anyone noticing. The fire-type uses Seismic Toss and, after a tense moment, Kamex falls! Satoshi has beaten Shigeru, enabling him to advance to the next round! Soon, it is revealed that the next battle will be between Satoshi and Hazuki! To be continued!
This is where the Jouto League starts to go downhill for me.
I'm not saying that because I don't like the battle in the episode. On the contrary, I think it's one of the best battles in the series. I agree with the outcome of every single battle in this episode, and I didn't feel like the anime cheated at all in order to award Satoshi the victory.
However, it's what happens after the battle that annoys me. I guess this episode is supposed to be the conclusion of Delibird's dealings with the Rocket-Dan, since I don't think it appears any more in the future, and it's a really bad conclusion at that. The Rocket-Dan's debt isn't repaid, yet Delibird stops visiting them after this episode. What's the deal with that? Also, I think the anime jumped into the Satoshi and Hazuki WAY too quickly. There was no build-up, we didn't see any of Satoshi's preparations, nothing. We're just thrown into the start of the battle, providing a stark contrast to all the preparations and hard work that was put into the battle with Shigeru.
As far as the dub goes, it's almost perfect compared to the last episode.
Two seconds are cut from the opening pan shot.
The scene where Kamex is twirling Bayleef around by its leaf is two seconds longer in the Japanese version. If you listen carefully, you can hear the music skip a tiny bit before Ash says "Bayleef! Hang on!"
Satoshi and Shigeru's handshake right before the final commercial break is shortened by a second. Then, when we come back from the commercial break, a two-second shot of the sun in the sky is cut.
Why is announcer in the Johto League given all the dialogue mistakes?
Announcer: "Ash from Pallet Town has the honor to go first, followed by Harrison from Silver Town."
Harrison lives in Littleroot Town, not this made-up "Silver Town."
Two seconds are trimmed from the TO BE CONTINUED screen.

Visions in your head, alive, Control the magic of your eyes.

Verse 2 Sitting on a seesaw, she's got it. Making all the right call, she's got it. Drinking from a short straw, she's got it. Sitting on a seesaw, she's got it now. Chorus Save right now, oh, we've got a queen to save. Bridge If anybody could see, you've got to love her now. If anybody could see, you've got to love her now. If anybody could see, you've got to love her now. If anybody could see, you've got to love her now. Anyone, anyone. Chorus Save right now, oh, we've got a queen to save.
That was 'Save the Queen' by none other than Sparky Lightning & The Bolts! I'm sorry to say, but we have reached the end of the album (booing). But don't you worry your music loving heads just yet, we have one more song in the tank for all those Boltheads out there.

All Night 02:59

All night, going to love her. All night, our minds are becoming aligned. Verse 2 In the dark neon lights glow, Soft and slow, we speak in lingo, Hold you close 'till tomorrow, End the show when the party is over. Chorus All night, going to love her. All night, going to love her. All night, our minds are becoming aligned. Bridge On my knees and I'm begging please That you won't go away and leave me here. And I don't believe you would want that need, But it would come between us, all night I would be On my knees and I'm begging please That you won't go away and leave me here. And I don't believe you would want that need, But it would come between us, all night I would. Chorus All night, going to love her. All night, going to love her.

Infectious Myth – The Vitamin Murders with James Fergusson – 03.22.16
In episode 94 David interviews James Fergusson, the author of the 2007 book, "The Vitamin Murders". The book covers the authors own concerns about contamination in his own family's food, and Jack Drummond, who designed the British food rationing system during World War II. Some people think the restricted calorie intake, especially sugar, made this the healthiest time for the average Brit. After WW II, however, Jack Drummond, his wife, and their daughter, were murdered brutally and bloodily in the south of France, while ostensibly on holiday. But were they on holiday or on a secret mission? James Fergusson's website is: http://www.jamesfergusson.info
After the interview, David reports on a $100 million advertising campaign for Gilead's expensive new Hepatitis C drug, Harvoni (http://www.statnews.com/2016/03/08/harvoni-hepatitisc-ads) and a recent podcast with a man who survived Hepatitis C drugs but, when they didn't cure his cirrhosis, worked out a natural protocol that did allow his liver to recover, to the surprise of his doctor (http://www.howpositiveareyou.com/2016/02/05/hpay-107-alistair_mackinnon).

Learn Which Artists Have the Most 2017 CMA Awards Nominations
Rob Kim / Micheal Loccisano / Alberto E. Rodriguez, Getty Images
The 2017 CMA Awards are just a few weeks away, and some of country's most beloved artists are among those who are nominated the most this year.
There are a dozen different artists with multiple nominations in the 2017 CMA Awards, including Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert, each of whom earned five total nods, while Little Big Town and Chris Stapleton are nominated a total of four times apiece.
Lambert is nominated for Album of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year, Single of the Year and Music Video of the Year in the 2017 CMA Awards, while Urban is nominated in the categories of Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, Single of the Year (as both artist and producer) and Music Video of the Year. Urban's smash hit single "Blue Ain't Your Color" is also nominated for Song of the Year, an award that goes to songwriters; since Urban is not one of the writers on the song, he will not receive a CMA Award if the song wins that category.
The 2017 CMA Awards are scheduled to air live on ABC from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Nov. 8 at 8PM ET. Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are teaming up to co-host country music's biggest night for the tenth consecutive year.
Remember: The best way to watch the CMAs is on TV, with ToC on your phone!

The footwear store Raw is set for closure on Saturday, June 18, due to poor sales over the past few years.
The retailer, located on Sincil Street, has been open for 16 years and was previously called Marlone Shoes.
The store attempted to relocate but couldn't find a suitable unit for them to operate effectively. The unit is owned by Lincolnshire Co-operative and there are currently no plans for a new tenant.
Raw, which is a chain across the UK, has seen a notable decline in its store numbers over the last decade.
In 1999 Raw operated 33 stores and now, after the Lincoln branch closes, there will only be four left. The remaining stores are in Plymouth, Exeter, York and Peterborough.
Simon Krivec, manager of Raw in Lincoln, said: "There is no negotiation over the rent and unfortunately we could not turnover enough profit to keep the operation going. I have worked here for 12 years and it will be sad to leave.
The store will be open until 3pm on June 18.

"PARIS - Was it wizardry that guided him? Or too much free time? Whatever it was, a French 16 year-old was accused of accomplishing a mystifying feat in translating all 759 pages of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows within days of its July 21 release and posting it online.
The problem: It was illegal and the teen spent a night in jail last week and faces charges of intellectual property violation. Author J.K.Rowling's lawyers say networks of other illegal Potter translation span the world, seeking to profit from the boy wizard's global appeal, and are growing more sophisticated with every new new tome.
The alleged French teen translator, a high school student in southern France, likely has less sinister intentions. "He just wanted to get the book online and did not appear to be seeking commercial gain," Aix prosecutor Olivier Rothe said. The boy apparently compiled the entire translation himself, he said.
.....French police had identified an organised system of online translation networks where unofficial and decent translations of Harry Potter are posted onto website networks and then onto peer-to-peer networks. The manager of these networks derive profit by attracting advertisers. Such translators are becoming more organised as each new book is released and as file-sharing becomes more prevalent..."
Fans in several countries have already posted unofficial translations of the Deathly Hallows online, including in China, where publishers fear it could lead to counterfeit books. Worldwide, the Potter books have sold more than 325 million copies, have been translated into at least 64 languages and have been spun off into a hit movie series.
