"The 2010 goal was bigger than me, it was a goal for all South Africans and Africans" – Siphiwe Tshabalala
11 June 2020 – Ten years to the day since the goal that changed his life, Siphiwe Tshabalala says his 2010 FIFA World Cup thunderbolt was " a beautiful story about a young boy from the dusty streets of Soweto, who always dreamt of playing on the big stage, and whose dreams came true".
Tshabalala's goal was watched by hundreds of millions of people in every corner of the world, and jolted Africa's first FIFA World Cup into life.
"The goal was the greatest moment of my life and my career. It made me realise that what I did was bigger than me, bigger than all of us, because of the impact it had on the lives of many South Africans. It united people, we were one country celebrating, one human race, and I believe it set the tone for the World Cup. It was a big moment not only for me, but for Bafana Bafana, for South Africa, for Africa, and for the whole world," says Tshabalala.
A decade later, 'Shabba' is still taken aback by the intensity of the "hype" around his goal and the emotions it continues to evoke among South African and African football fans. And even when he was in Hong Kong on vacation, he was recognised on the streets and asked to take pictures with excited football fans.
"It is 10 years later and time flies, but people make sure you don't forget and there are constant reminders of what I did on the day. Wherever I go, people still want to talk about and relive the goal. It is not just about the goal, but also a sense of how big the occasion was. We were the first, and to date the only country on this continent to host such a big sporting event, and all eyes were on us. As a player it was a dream come true – playing in the first FIFA World Cup on home soil. So we are talking about history on top of history," says Tshabalala.
Led by captain Aaron Mokoena and coached by Brazilian Carlos Alberto Parreira, Bafana Bafana put smiles on everyone's faces and Tshabalala's moment of brilliance ensured the home team surprised the football world by holding the experienced Mexicans to a draw in the tournament opener.
Tshabalala today launches an inspirational children's book "Super Shabba", which is based on his life and which he hopes will serve as inspiration to African children that, like he has done, they too can live out their dreams.
SIPHIWE TSHABALALA IN HIS OWN WORDS:
On the anniversary of the 2010 FIFA World Cup:
This is a day that never goes by every year without being celebrated. No matter where I am I will always get messages from people wanting to talk and relive the game or the goal, or just wanting to compliment me for what I did on the day, some just want to reminisce.
Fans don't give me a chance to forget, they tag me on their posts or would stop me in the streets to take pictures, like when I was in Hong Kong on vacation. The minute they recognised me I had to pose for photos. Who would have thought that a boy from Soweto would be stopped on the streets of Hong Kong to take pictures with eager and excited fans?
On his humility, despite the fame the goal has brought him:
I always say to people if a situation like this does not change me and make humble, nothing else will. I have learnt to remain level-headed, because I know it is not about me. I am more grateful now and I know I have a bigger purpose, especially off the field. For me, a request for an interview is an opportunity to for someone to hear the story over and over again, and to relive the moment, and I never take that for granted.
It is again a reminder that this was a big moment for the world and I am glad I was part of it. It is important to share the moment with other people, as it may change their life in one way or the other, so that is why it important to remain humble, so that you don't get tired of doing what could be a lifesaver to the next person.

11 June 2020 – what is Shabba up to?
My young family understands now that I belong to the world, and when this day comes, I have to go out there and share my time with those people.
I start the day with a prayer, have breakfast with the family, do several interviews, and then I go and help those less fortunate.
I have been sharing my time and goodies with people for a long time now, and it has become more serious with the coronavirus pandemic that is sweeping across the world.
It has become apparent that there are so many people who are struggling to make ends meet, and Covid-19 has just made matters worse, so we help where we can.
I deliver food parcels to the needy, and this I do with the help of good Samaritans who share this vision with me – I am fortunate that I have asked many people to lend a helping hand and they have never disappointed, and then I also dig deep into my pocket.
I am very passionate about this one as I don't want people to suffer when we can help – I can't stand to see someone go hungry because we couldn't help them, it just breaks my heart.
How can others help?
We come from different backgrounds, we have different challenges and those who are blessed and are in a position to help should do so without expecting anything in return. It has to come from the heart. It is certainly a feeling going to bed knowing you helped someone, being selfless.
It doesn't take anything away from you to buy someone a loaf of bread, I get happy and satisfied when I see people smile.
Always remember that blessed is the hand that gaveth.
Book launch:
It is called THE STORY OF SUPER SHABBA.
This is a story of a boy who grew up in Phiri, Soweto, and always loved football. He had dreams and wanted to be on the big stage, and then he heard on radio that there were trials. He made the grade, but was bullied because of his size and height. However, he didn't allow anyone to pull him down and he worked hard to be a superhero.
If you look at it, this is a story about my journey and the FIFA World Cup. The story is meant to inspire the African child. It is about a superhero they can relate to – an authentic story of someone they can bump into at the street corner or at the spaza shop. He is the same skin colour as them, comes from the same background as them. It is a story that says even if you had a poor upbringing it doesn't mean you can't make it in life – in fact that should inspire you more to change your circumstances.
I believe is important in that when we are growing up we tend to want to adopt the Western way, the faraway idols, when in fact we have heroes amongst us – and sometimes we end up losing our identity.
This book is one way of saying we are story tellers, we should tell our own stories and we should allow anyone to tell our story in our own way, so that those that read it can understand it better, as they may be coming from the same circumstances.
I believe every child get this book and that is why we need government support to ensure our history is preserved.
Once they read the book, they will learn of their own history, they will know the history of 2010 – the significance of the FIFA World Cup, how big it was, what it meant to so many.
The book is written from Grades 3, 4 and 5, and will be available in, for a start, English, Sesotho, IsiZulu and Setswana.
The book is part of the story of our journey as a family – focusing on the authentic local stuff. It is about changing mindsets one day at a time.

Marco Scandella will miss three to four weeks because of a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee.
That is good news for the Wild, which feared a serious knee injury when the defenseman was injured Tuesday against Tampa Bay. With the 20-day Olympic break after Thursday's game against Nashville, the hope is Scandella can return once the Wild's season resumes Feb. 27 or soon after.
In Wednesday's practice, left-shot defenseman Jonas Brodin took Scandella's spot on the second defense pair with Nate Prosser. Right-shot Jared Spurgeon took Brodin's spot on the right side of the top pair with Ryan Suter. Lefties Clayton Stoner and Keith Ballard, partners for much of this season, were on the third pair.
Mikko Koivu's third Olympic appearance for Finland continues to be in jeopardy.
"Not only is he not cleared to play right now, he's not even cleared to practice with the team," General Manager Chuck Fletcher said of the Wild captain, who had ankle surgery Jan. 6.
Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos, expected to be a key player for Team Canada, was ruled out for the Olympics even though he had been practicing after recovering from a broken tibia in his right leg.
Finland opens the Olympics next Thursday. Whether he plays in Sochi, the Wild believes Koivu will be ready to return to its lineup Feb. 27.
• Left winger Stephane Veilleux was placed on waivers for the purpose of assigning him to Iowa of the AHL for the Olympic break. Goalie Darcy Kuemper will not be assigned to Iowa during the Olympics, while Jason Zucker also might stay on Minnesota's roster.
• The Wild made a minor league trade, sending Chad Rau to San Jose for forward Curt Gogol. Rau, 27, played 299 games for Houston and Iowa and scored two goals in nine games with the Wild in 2012. Gogol, 22, has four points and 149 penalty minutes in 40 games for Worcester this season. Rau is the brother of Gophers co-captain Kyle Rau.

A new Strat is always a cause for celebration, especially when the price is right – and this, the latest Mexican offering, is a bit of a looker too. Review by Marcus Leadley.
Back in the spring at MusikMesse in Frankfurt, Fender launched a bunch of new Mexican-built Strats. Nothing especially new about this, but this time the tweaks are at the top end of the range. As well as a couple of nitro-finished models with vintage specs there's this month's review subject, the Standard Stratocaster Plus Top.
Foreign countries have made considerable efforts to streamline the standards for screw threads, and perhaps the biggest work was done in this direction in Germany, where there are firm rules for almost all types of threads found in the industry.

We have seen in different places of the book of Revelation how John draws from the imagery of Israel's Exodus from Egypt. There are the plagues of the seven trumpets, Moses as one of the two witnesses and, in our text, the imagery of the eagle's wings comes from God's description of the Exodus. [See Exodus 19.4] And there are other examples. The focus of today's sermon will be another of these images from that time in Israel's history. Today, we look at the theme of the wilderness. There is much for us to learn here. So, first we'll take a look at this image and how it is used in the Old Testament. Then we'll see what it has to say to us.
When you think of a wilderness more than likely the image of some desolate place comes to mind. And that would fit with what the Old Testament is pointing to. When Israel left Egypt, it entered into the desert, the wilderness. It was a desolate place. David makes use of this image in describing his own soul and his picture is telling.
It is worth noting the title of the Psalm: 'A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.' How apt. The wilderness as a dry and weary land. But it is important that you see that the wilderness is not just a place of such bleakness. There are other ways in which the Scriptures use this image.
The wilderness is also a place of refuge. Here, consider Moses. When he killed an Egyptian the king was after him. Moses fled. Where did he go? He went to the wilderness and became a shepherd there. The wilderness became for him a place of safety from those who would kill him. Then there was David. I'm sure you remember how he was chased by the jealous King Saul. Where did he go? Again we read how he hid in the wilderness. And even for Jesus, the wilderness became a place of refuge. There were times when He had to withdraw from the people. Where did He go? Into the wilderness. The wilderness was a place of refuge, a place of safety.
The wilderness was also a place of deprivation. As you think about Israel's experience in the desert I'm sure that you remember the problems that they faced. At the beginning of Exodus 15 Israel celebrates God's great victory over the armies of Egypt at the Red Sea. But what is the end of the chapter about? There is no water. And the people grumble. 'What are we going to drink?' When we get to chapter 16 it is no better; more grumbling. This time it's about food.
Israel found that the wilderness was a desolate place. God called Israel into that wilderness and there He deprived them even of the necessities of life. Why? By God's design the wilderness became for Israel a place of testing. God used the wilderness to test Israel's faith. How often they were put to the test and, sadly, how often they failed. There was the seemingly constant complaining about the lack of water. There was the incident of ten of the twelve spies who brought back that discouraging report. And then, when God did provide the people with manna, the bread of heaven, what did they do? They complained about that too. The New Testament has some commentary on that time.
What a sad time. Israel was put to the test in the wilderness and so many times they failed the test.
But it wasn't only failure in the wilderness. Yes, God put His people to the test. And yes, there were many failures, but there were also many successes. It was a time of purification. Listen to how Moses looked back on those forty years.
And so, we see that the wilderness is also a place to learn God's ways, to learn how to follow Him and to trust Him in the midst of hardship. As a result, the Israel that left the wilderness and entered the Promised Land was very different from the Israel that started out in that wilderness forty years earlier. God had taught them much in the wilderness, much about who He was, about His ways, about trusting Him.
This leads us to that thought that the wilderness was a place to meet God. Think again about Moses. Where did he first meet God? At the burning bush in the wilderness. Moses meets God and worships Him there. When Moses first confronts Pharaoh, what is his demand? Israel must meet with their God to worship Him. Where? In the wilderness. [Exodus 5.3] Let's shift into the New Testament. Consider the ministry of John the Baptist. It was a ministry of calling the people back to their God, to renew a right relation with Him. And where did that ministry occur? He was a voice crying in the wilderness. John called Israel to again meet with their God in the wilderness. And when Jesus spent forty days in fasting and prayer to His Father to consecrate His ministry, where was He? In the wilderness. In different ways, the people of God were called to meet with their God in the wilderness. Yes, the wilderness was a place of deprivation and that made it into a place of testing. But what was the result to those who responded in faith? A growing knowledge of God. The wilderness was a place where Israel met God and came to know Him.
And that leads to the last characteristic of the wilderness. It is a necessary part of the journey to the Promised Land. Israel was unable to go straight from Egypt to Canaan. How could they? There weren't ready for it. They had learned much evil while in Egypt. That's why they looked longingly back to Egypt when life in the wilderness got difficult.
How foolish! They had forgotten what Egypt was really like. They had forgotten that Egypt was the land of oppression and slavery. It was a land that appeared to have good things but didn't because it was the land where God was not. Israel had forgotten the lessons that their fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had learned. Time in the wilderness was necessary. And it was necessary because the wilderness was where Egypt was not. In the wilderness Israel was weaned from its longings for the allurements of Egypt. In the wilderness Israel was taught to love God.
Now, John's vision takes all of this and sticks it in a verse.
The woman is the Church, us. And John is telling us that we are now in the wilderness. And what does that mean? We are in the place of refuge and of safety. There is a dragon who hates us and wants nothing better than to destroy us. But in the wilderness our God will keep us safe. But look around in our wilderness. What do we see? We may well see the things that we do not have. We may well see that the wilderness is a place of deprivation. God brings us into situations where our lack is obvious. Sometimes it's a matter of something material but other things are more important: children conceived but never born, children born and raised but who choose foolishly and suffer for the rest of their lives, the expectation of marriage that is never fulfilled, marriages begun but ended earlier than expected, close relationships destroyed by sin, parents lost to the grave, good and proper hopes that are dashed. Here are things that feel as necessary as food and water. And yet, we find ourselves deprived of them. And what shall we do in this place of deprivation? Shall we give in to complaining and murmuring against God whether with outward words or just inward attitudes? Or shall we meet with God in worship, pour out our hearts to Him, with all its pains and sorrows, and ask Him to teach us how to trust Him? The wilderness can be a great place of learning, learning how to depend on God, learning that needs will be met at just the right time, learning that as important as our personal desires may seem none of them are as important as honoring our God with our lives, even if that includes great cost. The wilderness is a great place to learn from God and be changed.
Remember that being in the wilderness, being deprived of even good and seemingly necessary things, dealing with the trials and learning the hard lessons is a necessary part of the trip to the Promised Land. No one enters heaven without going through the wilderness. We must leave Egypt behind. But when you do enter the Promised Land then you will see that the time and effort spent in the wilderness will have been worth it.
Let us remember Jesus. He was also tempted with the lures of this world. But He faithfully pursued the journey through the wilderness with all its tests and deprivations and now finds Himself enthroned on high. Let us look to Him, our gracious Savior, to give us all that we need to persevere through the wilderness so that we might enjoy the Promised Land with Him forever.

Bakkenes is een oud agrarisch goed op de Veluwe, gelegen in het kampenlandschap tussen Lunteren en Barneveld. Eveneens nabij Veenendaal bevond zich reeds voor 1700 een "Goet van outs genaemt Backenes" terwijl in Arnhem in 1566 sprake was van "huys en hoffstede geheiten Den Backenes by die Velperpoert".

Historie
Reeds in de middeleeuwen wordt onder oude ontginningen in de Gelderse Vallei en onder de zogenoemde Schothorster Tienden nabij Lunteren in 'Het Woud' het allodiale goed Bakkenes (ook wel geschreven als Baeckenes, Baeckenesse, Backenes) vermeld.

Geografisch
Het Lunterse gebied werd ook aangegeven op oude kaarten en later uiteraard op kadastrale kaarten. Het grenst aan het goed Geutseler dat er soms deel van uitmaakte. Ook het nabijgelegen goed Donckervoort werd wel aangegeven als 'Backenesse'. Het was ooit een relatief groot agrarisch gebied waarop een aantal boerderijen, vaak eveneens genoemd als 'De Bakkenes'. Tevens tegenwoordig bevinden zich ter plaatse nog enkele boerderijen met namen als 'De Nieuwe Bakkenes' en 'Bakkenes Zuid'.

Familienaam
Er zijn in Nederland nog twee families die de naam Bakkenes dragen. De naam is afgeleid of een voortzetting van het aanzienlijke oude geslacht Van Bakenes (Baeckenes, Backenesse) te Haarlem. Daar bevindt zich nog steeds een stadsdeel dat Bakenes heet. Bekend zijn de Bakenesser Gracht, het Hofje van Bakenes en de Bakenesserkerk. De naam kwam vervolgens voor in Leiden, Alphen, Utrecht en Amersfoort. De oudste vermelding van de familienaam Backenes te Lunteren dateert van 1566. Een jongere tak ontstond in 1811 toen een familie deze naam ging voeren omdat zij woonden en werkten 'op (De) Bakkenes'. Anno 2007 waren er 702 personen met de naam Bakkenes in Nederland.

Here is something to keep in mind: Don't let yourself get too focused on what you can't do or can't have. Open your eyes and enjoy what is already available to you. This is about the story of the forbidden fruit- you can have from any other tree except this one. We often get absorbed in what we can't do or can't have, and that controls our lives.

Retired Indigenous And Non-Indigenous College Student Athletes' Mental Health Relating To Athletic Identity, Cultural Identity, And Career Transition
Victoria Williams
Justin D. McDonald
To date, empirical studies have investigated the transition or retirement phase, following the conclusion of a student-athletes' four-year career as a comparison between student-athletes and non-athletes. Specifically, when investigating these constructs, researchers have failed to thoroughly investigate the role cultural identity may play in mitigating psychological symptoms during the transition phase. As such, this study will seek to investigate both Indigenous and non-Indigenous retired college student- athletes, during the transition phase, in terms of the degree to which they identified with their athletic identity, cultural identity and career transition. It is expected those retired Indigenous and non-Indigenous student- athletes who identified significantly with their athletic identity during the transition phase, will experience greater mental health symptoms. Further, it is expected retired Indigenous student- athletes, whom possessed strong cultural associations, will have experienced less mental health symptoms, during the transition phase. Lastly, the psychological symptoms and coping strategies experienced by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous retired student-athletes will be examined. It is expected retired student-athletes who possessed a strong athletic identity combined with an insignificant cultural association, will experience greater psychological symptoms, and demonstrate maladaptive coping strategies. Understanding the association between these variables may be beneficial for future Indigenous and non-Indigenous student-athletes during the transition phase, with the intent of minimizing mental health symptoms and subsequently learning effective coping skills and strategies.

Pumpkin Cranberry Buttermilk Bread: a crazy moist pumpkin spiced buttermilk quick bread loaded with fresh cranberries for a little tart surprise in each bite!
Pumpkin "season" is coming to a close on Thursday and I am NOT ready for it to go.
So I bring you this Pumpkin Cranberry Buttermilk Bread asking for a stay of execution.
If we add gorgeous fresh cranberries to our pumpkin bread, can we keep it for December?
I'm just not ready to say good bye to my weekly pumpkin breakfast treats once Thanksgiving happens.
As much as I am not ready to say goodbye to pumpkin everything, I am ready to say HELLO to cranberries!
Cranberries thankfully store for quite a while in the fridge before they start to go bad, so I stocked up last weekend.
I bought 4 big bags with lots of cranberry themed plans. First up, Cranberry Eggnog Bread Pudding.
Then the girls and I are planning to make their favorite Vanilla Cranberry Sugar Muffins over the long weekend.
I was in the middle of making my standard pumpkin buttermilk bread when I had the idea to add a big handful of cranberries.
I am so glad I did! The little tart bites of fresh cranberries hidden away in the sweet pumpkin bread is SO GOOD.
This recipe makes two loaves of bread and I had planned on giving one of the loafs to our neighbors.
However, the four of us inhaled the first loaf in one day and I quickly realized we weren't giving any of it away!
If you don't have anyone to share with, this recipe easily divides so you will only make one loaf of Pumpkin Cranberry Buttermilk Bread.
Or, if you have an extra large loaf pan (I use an 8 inch loaf pan in this recipe) you can make one massive loaf.
Honestly, this recipe would also probably bake up great in a bundt pan as a cake!
Or, you could also make muffins with it, as I have many times in the past. It's so easy and versatile!
This Pumpkin Cranberry Buttermilk Bread is crazy moist and very easy to make.
You whip it up with a bowl and a whisk in about 10 minutes total. Then into the oven it goes.
I like to dust mine with a little powdered sugar on top because it makes it look festive, but it's totally optional.
P.S. All my cranberry fans, make sure and check out these Cranberry Pecan Goat Cheese Truffles! They are the perfect holiday appetizer!
Head on over to Dixie Crystals for the full recipe I developed for them.
all pictures yes please let me know how to find this?
This is one of my favorite recipes ever. I found it and have been making it ever since! It's delicious, moist, and the leftovers hold up well when just wrapped in plastic wrap and left on the counter. I've already made it twice in the last month! So happy I found this one :)I'll definitely make these again again. Thanks for your sharing and Happy Thanksgiving!!
I'm not ready to say good bye yet to pumpkin either! Love this bread!
I cannot wait to try this it looks so delicious !!
This looks so moist and delicious! So perfect for the holidays!
This looks so moist and delicious!! Perfect for the holidays!
We all love cranberry bread! It is so perfect for weekday mornings!
This is definitely worth a try! Perfect fall treat!

NYPD Officers Injured in Ramming Incident, Driver Faces 40 Charges
August 29, 2018 • by POL Staff
A man—described by the New York Daily News as a "career crook"—allegedly rammed an unmarked police vehicle on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge Monday injuring two officers. Peter Guarneri, 47, faces 40 criminal charges after the wrong-way pursuit, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Police suspected Guarneri in a string of burglaries, when he allegedly hopped into a stolen 1999 Ford Econoline van in Brooklyn and headed toward the bridge. Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authorities officers in three separate vehicles started pursuing him, and an off-duty NYPD detective, James McCullough, cut him off and stopped his Toyota Camry in front of the van, authorities said.
Guarneri rammed the Camry from behind, and refused to get out of the van, spurring one of the TBTA officers, Eddie Fung, to smash his hand through the driver's side window, according to a criminal complaint.
He then maneuvered past McCullough's Camry, drove all the way down to the Staten Island side of the span, pulled a U-turn, and headed back to Brooklyn.
That's when he slammed into an unmarked Fusion carrying NYPD Officer Stephanie Mazza and Sgt. Albert Cabello, according to the complaint. He rammed their car several times, trying to power through it, then jumped out and made a final, futile run for it, prosecutors said.
Mazza, who was driving the Ford, suffered neck and back pain, while Cabello suffered a cut to his head and pain to his right knee.
Guarneri has 32 past arrests.

The following photographs were taken during former Leading Air Mechanic (Engines) Douglas 'Shorty' Heath's visit to the former Royal Navy Air Station at Sembawang, Singapore, H.M.S. SIMBANG. His visit was made while travelling with a party of 130 RN veterans who made the trip to Singapore to mark 65 years since the end of the war with Japan. The veterans and their partners were able to make the journey thanks to the Heroes Return 2 Scheme, the second lottery funded scheme which supports veterans, spouses, widows and carers wishing to return to those places where they fought during the Second World War and mark any relevant anniversaries in 2009 and 2010.
Towards the end of the Second World War Duggie was part of the RN unit which arrived at Sembawang airfield to reopen it as a Royal Naval Air Station after the Japanese surrender of Singapore in 1945. He was part of the ship's company of HMS NABROCK, Mobile Naval Air Base No. 9 (MONAB IX) which reopened and commissioned the base as Royal Naval Air Station Sembawang,, HMS NABROCK, on October 5th 1945. The station renamed HMS SIMBANG on December 15th 1945 when it was decided to make its status permenant. For more details on MONAB IX visit the HMS NABROCK page.
Duggie with Warrant Officer Richard Woo Huat outside the old airfield control tower at Republic of Singapore Air Force base, Sembawang. WO Huat was Duggie's guide for his visit and organised for these photographs to be taken in line with the base security policy.
RNAS Sembawang shortly after being reoccupied by the Royal Navy in 1945, vehicles and temporary buildings of MONAB 9 can be seen.
Some of the buildings pictured in Duggie's visit are in this shot - the main hanger is partly visible on the top right; the officers mess is at the bottom; the junior rates accommodation block is the low, dark building near the tress in the centre of the picture.

About Williams College
Williams seeks to provide the finest possible liberal arts education by nurturing in students the academic and civic virtues, and their related traits of character. Academic virtues include the capacities to explore widely and deeply, think critically, reason empirically, express clearly, and connect ideas creatively. Civic virtues include commitment to engage both the broad public realm and community life, and the skills to do so effectively. These virtues, in turn, have associated traits of character. For example, free inquiry requires open-mindedness, and commitment to community draws on concern for others. We are committed to our central endeavor of academic excellence in a community of learning that comprises students, faculty, and staff, and draws on the engagement of alumni and parents. We recruit students from among the most able in the country and abroad and select them for the academic and personal attributes they can contribute to the educational enterprise, inside and outside the classroom. Our faculty is a highly talented group of teachers, scholars, and artists committed deeply to the education of our students and to involving them in their efforts to expand human knowledge and understanding through original research, thought, and artistic expression. Dedicated staff enable this teaching and learning to take place at the highest possible level, as do the involvement and support of our extraordinarily loyal parents and alumni. No one can pretend to more than guess at what students now entering college will be called upon to comprehend in the decades ahead. No training in fixed techniques, no finite knowledge now at hand, no rigid formula can solve problems whose shape we cannot yet define. The most versatile, the most durable, in an ultimate sense, the most practical knowledge and intellectual resources that we can offer students are the openness, creativity, flexibility, and power of education in the liberal arts. Toward that end we extend a curriculum that offers wide opportunities for learning, ensures close attention of faculty to students but also encourages students to learn independently, and reflects the complexity and diversity of the world. We seek to do this in an atmosphere that nurtures the simple joy of learning as a lifelong habit and commitment. We place great emphasis on the learning that takes place in the creation of a functioning community: life in the residence halls, expression through the arts, debates on political issues, leadership in campus governance, exploration of personal identity, pursuit of spiritual and religious impulses, the challenge of athletics, and direct engagement with human needs, nearby and far away. To serve well our students and the world, Williams embraces core values such as welcoming and supporting in the College community people from all segments of our increasingly diverse society and ensuring that College operations are environmentally sustainable. From this holistic immersion students learn more than they will ever know. Such is the testimony of countless graduates — that their Williams experience has equipped them to live fuller, more effective lives. Ultimately, the College's greatest mark on the world consists of this: the contributions our alumni make in their professions, their communities, and their personal lives. Therefore, we ask all our students to understand that an education at Williams should not be regarded as a privilege destined to create further privilege, but as a privilege that creates opportunities to serve society at large, and imposes the responsibility to do so. At the same time, being itself privileged by its history and circumstances, Williams understands its own responsibility to contribute by thought and example to the world of higher education.

There's a nostalgic feeling to the 2018 version of New Year's Eve at Ace of Cups. Instrumental post-rock act Brainbow used to be a fixture on the Columbus scene, putting on epic, swelling performances of its own originals, or maybe the "Lord of the Rings" soundtrack. Or that one time the band provided the live musical canvas for Blueprint's rhymes. Whatever the show, a Brainbow reunion is something you'll want to see.
The last couple of weeks, Alive has been reminiscing on favorite releases from 2018, but back in 2010, one of the best things to come out of Columbus was Time and Temperature's seven-track mini album Cream of the Low Tide. Go find it on Bandcamp and bask in the beauty of Val Glenn's hypnotic guitar and glassy vocals to prep for this performance.

Stationary Engines For The Enthusiast
Stationary Engines for the Enthusiast by David Edgington and Charles Hudson.
Originally published in 1981 and jointly edited by David Edgington and Charles Hudson. This must rate as the book most purchased as a first for so many engine enthusiasts over the past 30 odd years. Many private stationary engine libraries have probably been founded on this book which has recently has its sixth reprint.
The authors had originally agreed that the fifth reprint would be the last but, since Charles Hudson's death, David Edgington felt that a sixth reprint with a suitable eulogy would be a fitting tribute to someone who was a friend to the whole stationary engine movement.
This book, the result of two years research, and especially written for the newcomer to the world of old engines, describes a variety of types and styles of engine by using mainly contemporary illustrations and explains the various principles of operation ranging from hot-tube to compression ignition.

Early Edition - Old Stationary Engines Book By David Edgington
The original Old Stationary Engines was published by David Edgington way back in 1980, after which it was reprinted five times. This version, produced before computerised technology has black and white illustrations, and 32 pages. It was superseded by two, much larger, colour versions which are still available today.
This was David's first attempt at producing a book for engine enthusiasts. It is more a collector's item rather than an informative work!
Although out of print for twenty-four years a box has been located by the publisher. This early version has been making a ridiculous price on online auction sites.
Old Stationary Engines Book By David Edgington
Old Stationary Engines By David Edgington. - Latest Edition Now Available!
Totally re-written and uprated in 2004 to include over ninety colour pictures and illustrations. Second edition, revised and updated in 2009.
Though there are a good many contemporary books describing the development and progress of early gas, oil and diesel stationary engines, most of which are written for the technical man and consequently tend to be too difficult for the uninitiated to understand. But this book, on the other hand, is dedicated to the newcomer wishing to learn more about old stationary engines and the reasons why people collect them. It describes in a language as non-technical as possible the evolution of the first practical stationary engines and then illustrates some of the many designs, with notes on their basic relevant points and comments on some of the better-known manufacturers. There are many different forms of stationary engine and bearing this in mind emphasis has been placed on engines that the reader is likely to come across. There are small-power engines, large engines, common engines (Lister, Petter, Wolseley etc.) and rare engines (Omnia, Vincent, Scott Homer), hopefully something for everyone! This book may also be of value to the longer-term enthusiast because of the large collection of over ninety captioned photographs (in colour), which could be used at a reference.
Zeus Precision Data Charts & Reference Tables
An extremely handy pocket sized reference booklet of data charts and tables for engineers, drawing office, toolroom or workshop. Pages covered in plastic so will not pick up dirt, oil etc.
This metric revision publication is produced by Zeus Precision Charts Ltd, who are members of the British Standards Institution.

A call to organize: social work as social movement
I am finishing a Masters in Social Work in New York, and have been very involved in student organizing at my school. After two years, we've developed a great network of a few dozen student and community activists. I hope to continue to organize with these folks throughout my career as a social worker. I wrote the following for our social work student journal in an effort to provide a basis for continuing our organizing after graduation. [Note: the school is divided into three main majors: clinical casework (what social work is traditionally thought of), clinical group work (i.e. running support groups), and community organizing (i.e. grass-roots organizing, mostly in non-profits)]
"Ethical Principle: Social workers challenge social injustice. Social workers pursue social change, particularly with and on behalf of vulnerable and oppressed individuals and groups of people" (National Association of Social Workers, Code of Ethics)[1].
The history and literature of community organizers is perhaps the most focused on applying this principle to societal-level change, but what are the implications for the 81% of us here are majoring in casework and groupwork? I have come to see the social justice principle as giving caseworkers and groupworkers two specific mandates: implementing anti-oppressive practice and organizing within our agencies. There are many ways to pursue social change as social workers, but integrating these two specific areas of work into our daily practice will help us provide the best services possible in our imperfect agencies and also utilize our unique positions as service providers to improve and expand the ability of our agencies to meet the needs of our clients.
Before going into these two mandates, I want to briefly reflect on why in social work the principle of social justice is so central to our practice. As a field, we pride ourselves on a "bio-psycho-social" assessment of clients, one that sees each person as part of multiple levels of systems ranging from micro to macro, from nutrition and disease to poverty and oppression.
Not only do we attempt to understand the "problems" in one system or another (such as depression at the psychological level or poverty at a societal level) and the strengths and opportunities that our clients have for achieving their goals, our training helps us assess the interactions between these levels of systems. For example, Boyd-Franklin has described how racism is a cause underlying many of the "clinical" psychological problems that social workers' clients of color present with [2]. Such perspectives on assessment are already in our curriculum and we know that without social change, we will continue to see disproportionate medical and mental health suffering among the victims of social injustice.
Implementing anti-oppressive practice
In my experience studying clinical casework, I have struggled to find a framework for bio-psycho-social interventions that addresses the complexity of our bio-psycho-social assessments.
For example, when helping a client develop anger management strategies, how might we also intervene in the social structures of oppression that have contributed to his anger in the first place? A community organizer might pursue policy change through direct action strategies, but many caseworkers are in agencies that effectively limit our work to individual and group sessions within the walls of the clinic. Though there has been relatively little written about this until recently, important progress has been made in the past several years, including two excellent books [3, 4].
In addition to emphasizing social workers' own self-awareness and knowledge, a theme in much of this work is helping clients develop healthy and affirming responses to and rejections of oppression. The relationship of this process to larger social change is profound; as Freire [5] noted with his term conscientization, rejecting the psychological submission that oppression requires of its victims is essential to the project of achieving societal-level social change.
Thus, continuing to develop and implement anti-oppressive practice is both feasible in our current roles as caseworkers and groupworkers and effective in countering social injustice.
Organizing within our agencies
While much can be accomplished through anti-oppressive practice with individuals and groups in these settings, the nature and scope of the services and resources available to our clients must also be greatly expanded. To be effective allies for our clients and for social justice, we also have to be organized in the face of continuing attacks on social services in general and our ability to provide quality services specifically.
While the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) does advocate around these issues, those of us actually providing the services are in a key position to become a powerful force for social change if we organize with our colleagues in our agencies and across the city. While this may seem like an order too tall to fill, there is a remarkable precedent for just this less than 50 years ago right here in New York. When Piven and Cloward [6] described the welfare rights movement of the 1960s (a sort of continuation of the civil rights movement, made up mostly of African-American women receiving welfare), they note that the struggles of these welfare recipients was significantly aided by the Social Service Employees Union (SSEU)[7], an organization of only 5,000 employees of what is now HRA who had taken a principled stance in alliance with the welfare recipients.
These social workers and their colleagues refused to cooperate with the City's severe limitations on relief, and in January, 1965 — after planning with the New York chapter of the National Welfare Rights Organization and other civil rights organizations — they walked off the job, shutting down the City's welfare system for a month. In an excellent chapter devoted to this strike, Maier [8] notes that largely due to their strategy of effective organizing with colleagues and allying with service recipients, "even critics of the union admit that SSEU's influence in New York was far out of proportion to its size". In the end, they won increases in relief for welfare recipients, smaller caseloads, greater control over their work and pay increases.
While this work will not be easy and like all of our efforts, there are no guarantees, caseworkers and groupworkers can make major contributions to the struggles for social justice by organizing ourselves in our agencies and allying with our clients. Reach out and say hi – let's get organized!
Social work as social movement
Front-line caseworkers and groupworkers make up the vast majority of social workers in the US, and we risk not only abandoning our ethical mandates if we leave social change to the community organizers or NASW staff, but social workers as a group will also have failed to contribute all that we can to the social movement that social justice requires.
The question is not whether social justice is some special interest of community organizers – social justice is at the heart of competent social work practice in all settings, whether we like it or not. The question is whether we will become part of the powerful social movement necessary to achieve it.

Jocelyn Elise Crowley, Ph.D.
Reviews: Mothers Unite!: Organizing for Workplace Flexibility and the Transformation of Family Life
"Mothers Unite! takes us beyond the mommy wars to paint a picture of hope: the prospect of diverse mothers' groups coming together to work for a better future. Jocelyn Elise Crowley intelligently unpacks abstract ideas about flexibility and mothers' solidarity (or lack thereof) to provide a clear road map for moving forward. Her book will open endless avenues for activism on behalf of families. She has made a truly meaningful contribution."
—Judith Warner, author of Perfect Madness: Motherhood in the Age of Anxiety
"Kudos to Jocelyn Elise Crowley for addressing a question that few have dared ask: How can we bridge the real and illusory divides that separate employed and nonemployed women? While others focus on the putative mommy wars, Crowley shows clearly and convincingly that mothers from diverse backgrounds share common interests and possess the potential to become a powerful political force. This book is a must for anyone who cares about creating a more flexible, humane, and family-supportive workplace."
—Kathleen Gerson, Collegiate Professor of Arts & Science, New York University, author of The Unfinished Revolution
"Mothers Unite! helps us understand an issue that completely puzzles citizens from other countries: why the over 70 percent of American women who work outside the home do not mobilize politically around issues of daycare, maternity leave, and flexible work practices. Better still, it offers a blueprint for change. A very interesting read!"
—Anne-Marie Slaughter, Bert G. Kerstetter '66 University Professor of Politics and International Affairs, Princeton University, author of The Idea that Is America: Keeping Faith with Our Values in a Dangerous World
"Mothers Unite! addresses a timely and important topic. The potential for mothers' mobilization takes on special urgency today. Contested images of motherhood play a prominent role in current culture wars, and mothers' vulnerability is heightened in the prevailing economic and political climate. Jocelyn Elise Crowley's research on mothers groups' stances toward workplace flexibility addresses a long-standing conundrum: why are policies that appear to offer benefits to employers and employees alike so infrequently implemented? Crowley's answer to that question is new and original."
—Pamela Stone, Hunter College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, author of Opting Out? Why Women Really Quit Careers and Head Home
"Analyzing five national mothers' organizations, Rutgers public policy professor Crowley (The Politics of Child Support in America) makes her case for workplace flexibility as the issue most likely to unite American mothers into a coherent, politically effective "Mother's Movement." The groups profiled include Christian-based Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS); Mothers & More, a support group for mothers moving in and out of the workplace; Mocha Moms, a support organization for mothers of color; the National Association of Mothers' Centers (NAMC), which offers childcare and activities for mothers and children; and MomsRising, an online group that discusses topics of national interest to mothers. Crowley shows that the participants in these groups are mostly looking for community and peer support, and are much less embroiled in the "Mommy Wars" than the media suggest. Both stay-at-home and working mothers see the value in having flexible career options. These groups' members are mostly middle-class, leaving out some lower-income women who might be most affected by broad policy changes, and aside from Mocha Moms, they are overwhelmingly white. Nevertheless, Crowley's data shows that these mothers are indeed interested in family-friendly workplace reform, and she optimistically posits that if the groups coordinated their efforts, they could become a force for change."

THE HISTORY OF THE MINT IN A COMIC
You can learn the history of the Segovia Mint in a fun and easy way through this comic, with illustrations by the famous Segovian humorist and painter, Jose Orcajo, and texts by historian Glenn Murray.
SEE COMIC ON FACEBOOK
Friends of the Segovia Mint was established on November 5, 1993 to promote the restoration of the famous mint in Segovia, 53 miles from Madrid, Spain. In this section we offer photos of our headquarters on the Plaza de la Merced, in Segovia, as well as photos of all the coins we have struck on our hammer press.
The Segovia Mint has a fascinating history. It was built in 1583 by Juan de Herrera, Spain's most famous architect of all time, and equipped with the most modern German waterwheel-driven minting technology. Today, the site is considered to be the oldest industrial building still standing in Spain and one of the oldest remaining in the world. (Translation in Esperanto)
A variety of gold, silver, and copper coins and medal were produced at the Segovia mill mint from 1586 up until 1868, when it was closed and all minting activities were finally consolidated in Madrid.
Minting Technology
The Royal Mill Mint of Segovia was one of the first examples of a truly complex, mechanized industrial manufacturing plant in the history of mankind. Today, the Segovia Mint building is considered to be the oldest original example in the world, still standing, of a structure specifically designed as a mechanized industrial manufacturing plant. In this section, we examine the development of minting technology and its relation to the Segovia Mint. (This page takes a moment to open).
Restoration Project
The idea to save the historic Segovia Mint has slowly taken shape over the past 40 years. In this section, we show photos of the restoration project which began on February 14, 2007 and finished on May 19, 2011, three days before municipal elections. Here you can see photos of the different stages of work on the Mint.
Here you can find our bibliography listing all publications about the Segovia Mint and related subjects.
In this section we publish articles written specifically for the FRIENDS OF THE SEGOVIA MINT website. We will attempt to publish several articles a year and invite submissions from all interested contributors.

USWNT ticker tape parade
The New Kids
It's been 3 1/2 months since the USWNT won the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup on July 5th. Since the win, the team's popularity has exploded. The team walked the red carpet and attended award shows, had a ticker-tape parade in NYC, and even joined Taylor Swift on stage at one of her sold-out concerts. They began playing matches in their 10-game Victory Tour and had record number of sales for each one so far. They've become household names. More importantly, they've been using their recent success to grow the women's game.
In the weeks that followed the World Cup win, several players on the 2015 roster announced their retirement from the game of soccer. One of the surprises from that short list was 2013 NWSL MVP Lauren Holiday, better known as Lauren Cheney (she changed her name after marrying NBA player Jrue Holiday). Holiday, only 27 years old and at the peak of her career, decided to step aside from the game after winning 2 Olympic Gold Medals (2008, 2012), an NWSL Championship (2014, she went on to win this year's title this past month), a World Cup title (2015), and plenty of individuals accomplishments throughout her professional career. As of today she has 124 caps with the national team and has scored 24 goals, one of which was the game winner in the World Cup Final. Her last match will be on Sunday October 25th in Orlando as the USWNT takes on Brazil.
This post isn't about Lauren Holiday's retirement though. Shannon Boxx's retirement is just as significant as Holiday's and she'll be playing her last game tomorrow in Seattle. This post involves Lauren Holiday. Because she will be hanging up her boots, it will also put an end to a special group many USWNT fans have known and loved: The New Kids.
The New Kids are comprised of Lauren Holiday, Amy Rodriguez, and Tobin Heath. The trio joined the national team in 2008 when they were all 20 years old and under and trying to make the 2008 Olympic roster. It was at that time that U.S. Soccer did a feature on the three players dubbing them "The New Kids".
Somewhere along the way since the forming of The New Kids, it is well known by hardcore USWNT that these three take the field together before every game. They stand out of bounds on the side of the pitch and then jump over the sideline to join the rest of the team for warm-ups. It's The New Kids Jump. Sunday is the last time it will happen with all three of The New Kids (when one of The New Kids isn't around for one reason or another, the other two still take the field this way). Besides the fact that Cheney will be missed because she is such an important piece to the current USWNT, this little, sometimes unnoticed ritual will be missed as well.
Rituals like this exist in all sports. There was Ray Lewis's dancing and the tip of the cap from Derek Jeter. There's the Lambeau Leap and the octopus on the ice during Red Wings games. The point is these little actions are special. They're something extra fans look forward to seeing and probably players too. They become as much a part of the sport as catching or shooting or scoring is and they're just as memorable as a championship winning goal, a buzzer beating three-pointer, or a walk-off home-run.
U.S. Soccer tried to replace The New Kids last year by introducing Julie Johnston, Morgan Brian, and Crystal Dunn as The "New" New Kids, but it didn't stick the same way (probably because they don't do the jump). So on Sunday, The (Original) New Kids will take their last jump as a trio (hopefully someone records it). After the match, Lauren Holiday will retire. She plans on starting a family and having new adventures. Eventually, Tobin Heath and Amy Rodriguez will play their final caps and join Cheney in retired life. Things change. People leave. Life doesn't stop. But their legacy (and their jump!) will remain. They're forever The New Kids.

I don't remember Samsung saying this, Which made everyone at Samsung happy, The launch of the Galaxy S8 seems to have been a positive experience for all, I'd thought, therefore, that trending on YouTube would be a multitude of fine videos for the phone, The fascinatingly twisted one with the demented ostrich, for example, Instead, as I looked at the list of YouTube videos trending this week, I see an S8 first look video that's a parody, The presenter refers to the phone as the "Galaxy Sate." This immediately makes me believe that defender series case for apple iphone 7 and 8 - coral dot those who buy it should be called Satans, Or, perhaps more politely, S8tans..
The first look presentation here lacks a little sophistication. "There's a fingerprint scanner on the back, so they can find the killer," says the presenter. Ah. He then suggests you should try putting it in your mouth, as it passed his taste test. Please don't do this. I feel sure this presenter has very warped taste.

Back in 2011, Google admitted that the version of Face Unlock it debuted in Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich could also be fooled by a photo. But it isn't always bad news for facial recognition: The Windows Hello system reportedly is able to tell identical twins apart. Samsung did not immediately comment on the report.
