New Volvo V40 2020 Design – Fantastic is certainly a suitable expression being offered to the next era 2020 Volvo V40. Something such as this is very reasonable as the car maker really also then add significant enhancements towards the car. They can talk about that one of many reasons is to enlarge the target portion of the automobile than ever before. This is why it is actually highly predicted as well that it new V40 can be selected even by young individuals. Out of this clue, it seems the automobile will probably be manufactured much more stylish and sportier this time around.
Being inside 2020 Volvo V40 can be said to offer the best sensation. Such as this is certainly appropriate to say because the internal resources are entirely new. It actually is even pointed out the supplies participate in exactly the same class with the ones found in some latest models of BMW and Audi cars.
Extra space is likewise extra from the car maker so that you can increase convenience value. Regrettably, it feels as though the headroom of some area inside of the auto is missing. The possible cause is definitely the nearby sunroof, which is, in fact, an optional characteristic. Some finest systems may also be presented as possibilities by Volvo, such as hurricane warning method, iPod touch method with Universal serial bus also, and in some cases.
For that engine since the cardiovascular system of 2020 Volvo V40, it really is mentioned that you have perhaps 5 distinct engine options distributed by the automaker. Even so, it could be mentioned that the 1.6L turbodiesel engine is one that will arrest more attention and may come to be one of the most favorite options if the auto is introduced.

Medical spas are medical practices, so they are bound by the laws governing medical advertising. As soon as you are involved in any kind of medical treatment, you are subject to very strict requirements when it comes to advertising your practice.
According to the 2017 Medical Spa State of the Industry Report, digital marketing practices—specifically websites, email and organic social media—are the three most common marketing techniques for medical spas. Businesses cannot simply rely on word of mouth or good reviews attract customers—they must create effective promotional campaigns because there is so much competition and because the industry is cash-based, rather than insurance-based. Therefore, it is easy for medical spa owners and operators to slip into the retail mindset that they are going to do whatever they need to do to get people to come in. And while we do, in fact, encourage people to run their medical spas in such a manner, it is important to keep in mind that these practices are, above all, medical practices, so they are subject to the same rules and regulations that govern more traditional medical institutions.
All state medical boards have certain requirements for medical advertising. Most are relatively similar, but practitioners need to look at and understand their state laws regarding advertising. These regulations are typically fairly easy to find, and most are generally similar in that they require absolute, verifiable honesty.
Unlike, say, a car dealership or a furniture outlet, a medical outlet makes must be able to prove the claims it makes are true. For example, if you say, "Our nurses are the best injectors in the country," that is likely to attract some unwanted attention—a medical board or nursing board is going to see such a claim and ask what it's based on. It'll ask where the proof of this is, and unless you're prepared to submit something to that effect—which, obviously, is not possible—your practice could be in some trouble.
In the past, if you read the in-flight magazines from the major airlines, you may have seen lists of "best doctors in America." If you've looked at these publications in recent years, however, you may have noticed that these lists have been changed to say "among the best doctors in America," because that is at least somewhat truthful, and the doctors mentioned in these pieces are concerned about compliance too.
Whether it's in marketing collateral, on social media, or in influencer marketing, everything that's said about your medical spa must be objectively verifiable. You can achieve this by citing your credentials and your certifications. We previously wrote about misleading titles that are used by some medical spa employees, and those merit mention here too—if you refer to an employee as a "medical aesthetician" or a "certified laser technician" in your advertising materials, you're asking for trouble—you have to prove your employees are what you say they are, and in cases such as these, it simply can't be done.
Speaking of influencers, there also are a number of issues regarding social media in general and influencer marketing specifically. First and foremost, the FTC recently introduced a list of guidelines regarding proper disclosures that must be in place for compliant social media influencer marketing.
If you're not sure your advertising is compliant, you can always ask your lawyer to evaluate it before it's posted. Some state boards will even permit you to submit ads to them for review to make sure they're compliant, although this process tends to take quite a while. Regardless, it's very important that your practice does what it can to maintain compliant advertising, because the penalties for violations can be severe.
For more information on medical spa laws in your state, check your medical aesthetic legal summary. To learn more about legal and business best practices, attend one of AmSpa's Medical Spa & Aesthetic Boot Camps and start on your road to becoming the next medical spa success story.

Chris Martin, from Coldplay, has said, 'You can't choose between the Caramel Wafer and the Tea Cake – they're like Lennon and McCartney, you can't separate them.' So Coldplay can't be all that bad! Wafer or Teacake, you decide.
Shortbread is a biscuit 'shortened' by glorious butter. The texture of the biscuit is crisp and snappable- hence 'short'. History suggests Scottish bakers used the name "shortbread" to escape the government's tax on biscuits. Whether true or not, this "bread" is never short with its sweet sugary crunch. Try shortbread here.

LOS ANGELES, August 7, 2018 – The challenge of fixing America's deteriorating infrastructure and making it more resilient to the effects of extreme weather and climate change underscores the need for a more robust green bond market, according to a report released today by the Milken Institute and California State Treasurer John Chiang.
Growing the U.S. Green Bond Market: Volume 2: Actionable Strategies and Solutions provides practical solutions to the infrastructure finance challenges laid out in Volume 1 and suggests how green bonds can be a larger part in meeting the funding gap, projected to be as high as $4 trillion.
Unlike traditional fixed-income securities, green bonds offer the assurance that the funds will be used to enhance sustainability. Constraints to their wider use include a lack of standardization and the difficulty of listing them on indexes tracked by large investors. Expanding the market will require policy changes and new approaches in financial markets.
Establish a "Responsible Issuer Program" to support municipal issuers.
Facilitate a green bond insurance program to help debt-averse municipalities.
Create a green bond bank.
Evaluate the creation of taxable green bonds to increase yields.
Aggregate smaller issuances to attract larger investors.
Growing the U.S. Green Bond Market: Volume 2: Actionable Strategies and Solutions is available online at www.milkeninstitute.org.

Home Antalis Packaging develops innovative packaging solution for TV returns
Antalis Packaging develops innovative packaging solution for TV returns
Antalis Packaging has worked with a leading British supermarket chain to develop an innovative packaging solution for TV returns saving the retailer hundreds of thousands of pounds per year.
With a number of customers returning TVs to store with minor product issues within the warranty period, the retailer was faced with the challenge of managing an incredibly costly returns process. The onward process of sending faulty or damaged TVs to the returns centre, often without the televisions' original packaging, meant that whilst some TVs left the supermarket for the returns centre as a high value re-saleable item, they would arrive as completely non-sellable due to further damage incurred in transit.
Antalis Packaging, the leading supplier of innovative protective packaging solutions, began working with the supermarket chain to provide online packaging solutions in early 2016. The team became aware of the issue with TV returns and partnered with them to create a solution to protect the product in transit back to the return centre.
Scott Byrom, key account manager for Antalis Packaging, comments: "As part of our contract with our client, we supply packaging for a whole range of products, including TVs. After we came on board, the issue with TV returns was coming to a head. Both ourselves and the retailer knew there had to be a way to reduce the damage, and consequently the cost, through a better packaging solution."
Early investigations quickly identified that the boxes being supplied for television returns had been the same for a number of years. With five different size options, the boxes were designed for the old CRT TVs but were being used for today's plasma screens. For the store, those boxes were the only means of packaging for the TVs to be returned to the return centre. This often resulted in four or five TVs being placed in one box which frequently smashed or damaged the screens.
Scott Byrom continues: "The packaging brief very quickly became clear. The new packaging needed to fit individual TVs now being sold with sufficient internal protection for each model. We requested a breakdown of the smallest to largest TV dimensions, as well as annual sales of the range, to highlight where we first needed to focus. 50" was the most popular TV so that was our starting point - we created a standard packaging solution for that model and then adapted it to suit all other configurations."
Four box sizes were determined to fit the range of TVs, within which the internal protection solution was a polyethylene foam - a dense foam product which can be used to make bespoke shapes to create end caps, protecting the product from any drops or other impact. As well as being able to cushion the TVs, a removable foam piece was designed to fit the plug as, all too often, a loose, exposed plug in the box has resulted in a smashed screen. Once outer box sizes were correct and foam inner fittings deemed suitable, a trial was launched in one of the store's branches.
Scott Byrom comments: "The trial was imperative and something we recommend with all customers who look at introducing a new packaging solution on a larger scale. It's essential to see the product in action but also to engage with the people who handle it to understand the challenges and conditions within which the product will be packaged. We spent time with staff to understand the resources they had, how they currently did things and any ideas they had to improve the process. This sort of collaboration is imperative when trying to instil a change."
Antalis worked with the in-store team to look at every step of the current process to send TVs back to the return centre including how they were placed on the pallet (face up or face down), other items being sent back at the same time and any potential impact this might have, for example, unnecessary weight bearing. These investigations revealed that, as part of their logistics network for food, clothing etc., they used a 'comp' in-store, i.e. a cage on wheels. The store had these in abundance and Antalis began to explore with the retailer's employees if these could be used, instead of pallets, to transport the TVs.
Scott Byrom adds: "The comps had three metal sides providing good protection, plus they wouldn't get dropped or moved by a pallet truck. After a little trial and error we found that four TVs in their redesigned boxes were a perfect fit. Following our in-store trial, we also printed FRONT and BACK on the TV boxes in bold letters to ensure the screens faced forwards and towards the inside of the cage. Further reminder instructions were also printed onto the boxes to make sure all contents were enclosed and secured to the unit."
After a six week project, the final boxes were supplied across stores nationwide. Feedback so far has been positive, and it's win-win from the retailer's perspective. The TVs are arriving at the return centre in the condition in which they left and resale volumes are considerably higher. Although the packaging is more expensive, it has the potential to save the company over nine times as much as the incremental spend each year.
Since the roll-out, the team at Antalis has visited over 30 outlets across the country to continue looking at individual store processes and engaging the staff in the new packaging approach. A staff training video has been created to assist with the process, as well as a full support document to help trouble shoot during the transition. Unsurprisingly, the project has led to other areas of opportunity within electronics with the Antalis team now looking at microwaves, another source of concern for the retailer.
A representative for the retailer comments: "Antalis has developed a robust cutting-edge solution that goes a long way in protecting our customer returns of TVs back through our delivery network. The team were clear about our objectives and were sensitive around the costs to develop them. The solution offers a significant reduction in associated damages and will set the standard in the future. They were a real pleasure to work with and we've formed a relationship from which I hope further packaging solutions will evolve to meet the demands of our fast-moving business."
Scott Byrom concludes: "The whole process, from identifying the issues together, understanding the root causes, designing a solution fit-for-purpose and, critically, working with the people affected to embed the solution into the business, is indicative of the way we work with many of our customers. Product damages are costly, from both a bottom line and reputational point of view. Investment to understand what is going wrong and why, with a resulting solution, bespoke if required, will always deliver value in the long run."

Written to serve as the basis for a JavaScript [Code
Kata](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kata_\(programming\)).

See it [running](https://tkareine.github.io/game_of_life/example/).

If you want to do the Kata, please do not search for the implementation
of the missing functionality. Try to solve it by yourself first.

## Usage

In the [lib](https://github.com/tkareine/game_of_life/tree/master/lib)
directory of the master branch of the repository, implement all the
functions that throw a TODO string. Write tests for your functions as
well. The tests are located in
[test/unit](https://github.com/tkareine/game_of_life/tree/master/test/unit)
and
[test/integration](https://github.com/tkareine/game_of_life/tree/master/test/integration)
directories. You can run the tests by opening [the test
suite](https://tkareine.github.io/game_of_life/test/support/runner.html)
in your browser.

[TDD](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development) is a good
practice for doing the Kata. First, choose a function to implement, then

1. write a simple test for it
2. see the test fail when running the test suite
3. write just enough implementation for the test to pass
4. refactor, splitting the function into smaller functions if necessary
   (write tests for those functions as well)
5. write another, but more complex, test for the function
6. goto 2 if the function does not meet the requirements

A `Rakefile` exists for executing common project tasks. See the
available tasks by running `rake -T` in the project's root
directory. Using rake requires a Ruby environment.

Between June 19 and September 22, 2020, The Rendville Historical Preservation Society and the Center for Folklore Studies at The Ohio State University partnered to explore voices of emancipation in Rendville Cemetery. Building on a collaboration to document the cemetery, those who are buried there, and the importance of the site to members of the community living in Rendville and beyond, the project sought to celebrate, amplify, and listen to the stories of Rendville residents in the historical record who lived through the Emancipation of enslaved Black Americans, and reflect on that history in this moment of ongoing struggles for justice and structural equality.
155 years after the end of the Civil War and the passage of the 13th Amendment the United States is still grappling with what Emancipation means in the wake of continued discriminatory practices and structures of racism, violence against Black communities, and judicial and penal systems that disproportionately affect and incarcerate Black Americans. By researching the complex stories of their lives, it is our goal to reflect on the past and future of emancipation in Ohio, Appalachia, and the United States. What can the voices and stories of the past tell us about 155 years of struggles for emancipation, justice, and equality?
OSU Center for Folklore Studies Researchers partnered with the Rendville Historic Preservation Society to tell the stories of some of Rendville's past inhabitants who were alive at the time of Emancipation. Read them below.
If you are interested in joining this effort, please contact OSU Public Folklorist, Jasper Waugh-Quasebarth at waugh-quasebarth.1@osu.edu. A list of those Rendville residents interred in the cemetery who lived through the emancipation of Black Americans is available at the bottom of the page.
Angie Clark
Researched by Jasper Waugh-Quasebarth (The Ohio State University)
Angie Clark was born Angelina Norman to Jesse Norman and Nancy Norman, one of seven children on the family's farm in Green Township, Hocking County. The Norman family has old roots in Southeast Ohio. Living her life throughout the Little Cities of Black Diamonds micro-region, she married William E Clark on the 18th of September, 1877 in Athens County, lived at 19 Chestnut Street in Nelsonville in 1880 and relocated to Rendville in the 1880s. She was active in the Rendville social scene, welcoming visitors to the community, as noted in a August 8, 1887 New Lexington Tribune column "Rendville Doings." The article states the following:
The past week has been one remarkable for its parties, picnics and social gatherings, perhaps on account of the number of beautiful and accomplished ladies and gents who are at present visiting their friends here in our vine clad village. The presence of the visitors gives Rendville society quite a boom, and our young ladies and gentlemen are putting forth every effort to make it pleasant for them. There are several other parties, etc. booked for the near future, which is a sufficient guarantee that there will be plenty of the proper amusements to give relaxation to the visitors, and will doubtless be an inducement to those who have the pecuniary ability to travel and remain here and help blend utility with pleasure.
The article then notes that Mrs. Clark represented Rendville well at a Corning reception, and that "the ladies were all handsomely attired."
She passed away on May 23, 1900. She was survived by her children, Jennie D. Lamb nee Hale (b. 1880) and Howard V. Clark. (b. 1883), and her husband William E. Clark (1857-1935) who is buried with her in the Rendville Cemetery.
This post was created with census information, the Clark's marriage certificate, and the article from the New Lexington Tribune which can be accessed here: https://littlecitiesarchive.org/2012/03/13/rendville-doings/
William E. Clark
William E. Clark was born in 1857 in Virginia. He married Angelina Clark on the 18th of September, 1877 in Athens County. By 1880, he had migrated to Nelsonville in Athens County where he worked as a coal miner and she kept their house at 19 Chestnut St. They soon welcomed a daughter, Jennie (b. 1880), and a son, Howard V. (b. 1883) into their lives.
When the couple moved to Rendville in the 1880s, Mr. Clark became active in social issues, serving as the President of the Afro-American League. In this organization, he advocated for the repeal of state laws that allowed for segregation in schools and prohibited racial intermarriage. As the coal industry began to decline in the 1890s with a national economic depression, Mr. Clark became active in the labor movement. In August 9, 1894 letter to the United Mine Workers' Journal , Mr. Clark asked, "…If other worlds were inhabited? Did they have the same kind of law and government that we have? And my next wonder was, was this world of ours the hell we read about in the good book? If it is not, how can a man stand the punishment twice, and then live through eternity? Monopoly has been against the oppressed of this country… I would ask those of my race…Do you owe any political party a debt of gratitude? I claim not."
In 1900, Mrs. Clark passed away, and by 1920, still working as a miner, Mr. Clark remarried to Hulda E. Clark. By 1930, he lived in Zanesville at 434 Keen Street, where he worked as a janitor in a public building. At this house, the Clarks also hosted a lodger, Mr. Caleb Mahungulu, a Fanti-speaking sheet mill worker who had become a naturalized American citizen after emigrating from British West Africa (likely what is now Ghana).
Mr. Clark died on January 21, 1935 and the following obituary was published in the Zanesville Times Recorder:
William E. Clark, aged 79 years, colored, died at his home 434 Keen Street at 5 o'clock Monday evening following a three months illness of complications. For many years he made his home in this city. He was a member of the A. M. E. Church of South street, and a member of the Masons Lodge No. 30. Surviving are his wife Hulda E. Clark; two children, Mrs. Jennie Hale, Athens and Howard V. Clark, Grand Rapids, Mich.; one brother Louis Clark, Columbus; two grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. The body was taken to the Thompson & Son funeral home in White Cottage, Ohio and will be returned to the residence Tuesday afternoon, Funeral services will be conducted at 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the A.M E. church. Rev. C. A. Graine the pastor, will be in charge. Burial will be at Rendville. The Times Recorder, Zanesville, Ohio Tuesday, January 22, 1935

Thomas Cousins
Thomas Cousins was born in Virginia in 1823, likely into slavery, as no record for him exists through the first 40 years of his life. In 1864, at 40 years old, he enlisted in the 9th Regiment of the United States Colored Heavy Artillery in Pomeroy, Ohio before being transferred to Company D of the 15th United States Colored Infantry.
Though Cousins likely served in a garrison role, his enlistment in the United States Colored Infantry should not be taken lightly. Just months before his enlistment, hundreds of Black troops had been massacred at Fort Pillow, Tennessee, as Black soldiers were regarded with exceptional hostility by Confederate troops. In the 15th, he served at the rank of Private in Springfield, Tennessee, and his division skirmished in Magnolia, Tennessee on January 7, 1865. Mr. Cousins served for one year and 4 days, before being discharged on the 25th of August 1865.
Along with many other Black veterans, he made his way to Perry County by at least 1890 and married Dolly Sanders on January 5th, 1893. The 1900 Census captures a slice of Mr. Thomas' life at 8 Main St, in Rendville, OH. Though no longer working due to filing with the Civil War Pension system as an "invalid" in 1899, at 76 years old still proudly called himself a miner, and though he could neither read nor write, he owned his house outright, renting a room to a young schoolteacher, Mr. Alex Payne. Mr. Cousins passed away sometime before 1908, when his widow, Mrs. Dolly Sanders, filed for his pension benefits.

Richard L. Davis
Researched by Jordan Lovejoy (The Ohio State University)
Richard Lorenzo Davis, known commonly as "Dick," was born around Big Lick Township in Roanoke County, Virginia in late December 1862. His father, Lee Davis, was a farm laborer, and his mother, Maria Davis, was a housekeeper; both were most likely enslaved before Emancipation. Richard L. Davis was the oldest of six siblings, and he worked in a tobacco factory between the ages of eight and eighteen before moving to the Kanawha and New River region of West Virginia to work in the coal mines due to his frustration with low wages and unfavorable working conditions. In 1882, he was likely recruited by the Ohio Central Coal Company and William P. Rend to work alongside many other African American miners at Mine No. 3 in Rendville, Perry County, Ohio. He married Mary Bailey of Gallia County, Ohio in 1887, and they shared two daughters, Edith, born in 1891, and Beatrice Blanche, born in 1893. An early member of the progressive, inclusive labor federation known as the Knights of Labor, he was an active and dedicated labor union organizer. Davis served as the Recording Secretary for the Knights of Labor's Local Assembly 1935, and he was one of two African Americans at the founding convention for the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA). In 1890, he was elected to the Executive Board for District 6 of the UMWA, where he served until 1895 and helped organize the strikes of 1894 and 1897. From 1896-98, Richard L. Davis served on the National Executive Board of the UMWA, and he was the last African American to be elected to a national position in the organization until the 1970s. Davis was a fierce advocate for racial equality and labor rights as well as the right to education; he organized diverse labor unions in Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Alabama and argued for the establishment of reading rooms in every mining town to grow social, political, and economic power. Before he died from pneumonia at age 37 in January 1900, Davis served as the constable and city marshal of Rendville. Davis wrote over 170 letters to the National Labor Tribune and the United Mine Workers Journal during his short life, and he concluded his final letter in 1899 with a summation of his life's work and his vision for the future: "Hoping for the best interests of the miners everywhere and that those who are now without the fold of unionism may soon see the error of their way and enlist in the cause to help emancipate the wage slaves of this day and time." Rendville's September 22 celebration of Emancipation Day was his favorite holiday.

John M. Hazelwood (1848-1928)
Researched by Cristina Benedetti (The Ohio State University)
John M. Hazelwood was born in 1848 in North Hampton in East Virginia; his parents were also born in Virginia. Various census records place his birth year between 1845 and 1848, but 1848 is the year recorded on his headstone. Multiple census records throughout his life indicated that was able to read and write.
Hazelwood enlisted in the 9th US Colored Heavy Artillery regiment on August 11, 1864 in Pomeroy, Ohio to fight for the Union Army for one year. His age is listed as 22; using the death year on his headstone, he would have actually been 16 – a discrepancy that should be noted, but that is possibly explainable. The recruitment papers include a section for "Consent in Case of Minor" which is not filled out. According to the enlistment document he was 5 feet, 5.25 inches tall, and described as mulatto with black eyes and black hair. His occupation at the time was a cooper, a person who makes wooden containers from timber that is steamed to become pliable.
The 9th U.S. Colored Heavy Artillery regiment was organized at Clarksville and Nashville, Tennessee in the fall of 1864. Hazelwood mustered in on September 4 and was appointed first sergeant on November 18. The regiment was broken up on May 5, 1865. Hazelwood mustered out in Nashville, Tennessee on August 5, 1865, and was discharged on that day.
John married Mary Hazelwood around 1872, according to census records – he was in his mid 20s and she was in her early 20s. At the time of the 1880 census they were living in Bolivar County, Mississippi, where he worked on a cotton farm. Their names are listed as J.M. and Mariah Hazelwood – versions of their first names that are also recorded in the Rendville census records of 1910 and 1920.
By 1890 Hazelwood had a Rendville post office address, as recorded in a veteran's schedule from that year. In the 1900 census his occupation is listed as coal miner, but it also notes that he had been unemployed for two months. John was 54 that year, and it was recorded that he and his wife never had children. Ten years later, in the 1910 census, they are recorded as J.M. and Mariah Hazzlewood, living on North Main Street. He is recorded as being self-employed and owning their home. In this census, J.M. is not listed as a veteran, another notable but possibly explainable discrepancy in his census records. The last census record of the Hazelwoods is from 1920, where they are again recorded as J.M. and Mariah Hazzlewood – he was 73 and she was 69. They still owned their home, but it was mortgaged, and he is listed as having no occupation.
John M. Hazelwood, a veteran of the Civil War who made his home in Rendville, died on June 6, 1928 at the age of 80. His headstone does not list the year of his death, but it provides his year of birth, and the years of his wife Mary Hazelwood's birth and death.
Mary (Hall) Hazelwood (1852-1923)
Mary Hazelwood was born in 1852. Some census records indicate that she was born in Mississippi, and others in Louisiana. Her father is listed as being born in Mississippi or Louisiana, depending on the record, and her mother is listed as being born in Mississippi or Kentucky. In census records she is sometimes described as Black and sometimes described as "mulatto."
Mary married John M. Hazelwood around 1872, according to census records. When they married, she was in her early 20s and was in his mid 20s. At the time of the 1880 census, when Mary was around 30 years old, they were living in Bolivar County, Mississippi, where her husband worked on a cotton farm. Their names are listed as J.M. and Mariah Hazelwood – versions of their first names that are recorded in the Rendville census records of 1910 and 1920.
By 1890 her husband was living in Rendville (as recorded in a veteran's schedule that year), and the 1900 census lists the couple living in Rendville. Mary is described as having no occupation, and not being able to read or write. Years later, in the 1910 census, the couple is recorded as J.M. and Mariah Hazzlewood, living on North Main Street. The last census record of Mary Hazelwood and her husband is the 1920 census, where they are again recorded as J.M. and Mariah Hazzlewood. Here, at the age of 69, she is recorded as being able to read and write, a difference from previous years.
Mary Hazelwood, a member of the Rendville community for 30 years, died on January 9, 1923 at the age of 71. She was survived by her husband John M. Hazelwood.
Georgia Johnson (1865-1915)
Georgia Johnson, also known as Georgie and Georgianna, was born in 1865 in Virginia; her mother was also born in Virginia, and father was born at an unknown location in the United States. The last name of Georgia's first husband was Twine. Mr. Twine died at an unknown date and place, and Georgia became a widow. According to the 1900 census, Georgia had seven children, five of whom were living at that date.
On November 11, 1897, Georgia and her second husband, Alfred Johnson, applied for a marriage license in Perry County, Ohio. They were married the next week on November 17th; Georgia was 32 and Alfred was 50. About two years later in the 1900 census, it was recorded that they lived in Rendville on the County Road with two of her children, Charles (age 8) and Ellen (age 10). Ellen attended school. It was recorded that Georgia could read and write, but that Alfred could not. He worked as a coal miner, and they rented their home. At the time of the 1910 census, they were still living Rendville, now on Short Street. Georgia earned wages working in private family houses, though she was out of work at the time of the census. She and her husband lived with her son Charles K. Twine, who was 17 at the time. He was a coal miner, and could read and write. Charles died the next year on October 3, 1911 in Rendville.
Georgia Johnson, a member of the Rendville community born in the early days of Emancipation, died in 1915 at the age of 50.
Christianna Tyree
Researched by Cassie Patterson (The Ohio State University)
Christianna Tyree was born in Bedford County, Virginia in 1855 and died in her home in Rendville, Ohio on December 13, 1950, aged 94 or 95. She is buried in the Rendville Cemetery in Perry County, Ohio. According to her obituary from the Zanesville Times Recorder, she was "the oldest resident in Rendville residing there since 1862."
In the 1910 U.S. Census, listed under the name of Christiana "Tyrer" (54 years old at the time), she was recorded as living on Sycamore Street in Monroe, Perry County, Ohio and her race was listed as Mulatto. She had been married for nearly 2 years (1yr and 8mos) to Burrell A. "Tyrer" (60), with whom she had 5 children, all of them still living at the time. Their marriage status is listed as M2, which may mean that this was their second marriage. Burrell is listed as Black in this census, though later listed as Mulatto in 1920. He was a laborer in the coal mine who could both read and write and rented his home at the time. Other household members included Dollie Williams (17, step daughter, Mulatto), Hiram Williams (14, step son, Mulatto), and Walter S. Williams (11, step son, Mulatto). All three were born in Ohio, could read and write, and attended school.
In the 1920 U.S. Census, "Christiana" Tyree is listed as being 64 years old, having been born in Virginia around 1856. She is recorded as living on Sycamore St. northeast of Main, Monroe, Perry County, Ohio. Christianna is again confirmed as a Mulatto woman married to B.A. Tyree (listed as Mulatto, 73 at the time), with her mother and father's birthplace listed as Virginia. The Census indicates that she did not have a known occupation and was able to read and write. Other household members included Christianna and Burrell's son, S. Williams (21), also listed as Mulatto, and Frank Jackson (74), a laborer in the coal mine, who is listed as a "roomer." Burrell owned the home in 1920.
In the 1940 U.S. Census, "Christmma Tyree" is listed as an 85-year-old Negro (Black) widow from Virginia serving as head of the household that she owned in Renvdille, Perry County, Ohio. She attended elementary school through 4th grade and made an income outside of officially recorded work positions, perhaps from renting a room, as the value of her rent is listed at $300. Additional household members included her son, Joseph William (53, also listed as Negro). Joseph is listed as having been born in West Virginia and not having attended school. He is listed as being unable to work. Both Christianna and Joseph are said to have made income through sources other than money, wages or salary.
According to the Zanesville Times Recorder story, "Burns Fatal to Rendville Woman" printed on Dec 15, 1950, Mrs. Christianna Tyree "died in her home [on] Wednesday night as a result of burns sustained in the home last Sunday. Mrs. Tyree had opened the stove door when some hot coals fell out and ignited her dress." Four of her five children survived her, two daughters and two sons: Laura Bailey of Rendville (with whom Christianna lived when she passed), Dorris I. Steele (California), Walter Williams (California), and Joseph P. Williams of Rendville. She had seven grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Christianna's body was prepared at Gail E. Wallace funeral home in Corning, and services were conducted in her home by Reverend E.J. Carpenter. She is buried in the Rendville Cemetery.

William J. (G) Woodson
Researched by Katherine Borland (The Ohio State University)
William Woodson's middle initial is sometimes written with a "J" and other times with a "G".
On the Civil War Monument in Washington, DC William is listed with a J. Back in the day the writing was very fancy and the letter "G" was mistaken for a "J".
William Woodson was born in 1832 in Greenbrier County Virginia (now known as West Virginia). He moved to Berlin Cross Roads, Jackson, Ohio and was a farmer before the Civil War. After the Civil War he returned to Berlin Crossroads and worked at farming.
Woodson had a relationship with Louise Qualls (they never officially married), and they had one son (the Grandfather of Ada Woodson Adams). He did marry Alice Pevey, but they had no children. He last married Alice Morgan Dark; they had no children.
Woodson migrated to Rendville, Ohio to work in the coal mines about 1883. He and Alice lived on Scotch Hill in Rendville for many years.
William came from Marshfield, Ohio to Athens and enlisted in 1864, serving in the 5th Infantry Regiment, Company B of the United States Colored Troops. I often wondered if he came to Athens, because young Milton Holland was enlisting Black men to train for military duty.
Milton Holland was born an enslaved person in Texas. He was sent North to Albany, Ohio for an education and freedom. Milton was living in Albany when the Civil War broke out. He tried to enlist, but was denied because he was a Black man.
Milton wanted Black men to be ready when called to serve. He formed his own troop of men, and they trained at the Athens County Fair Grounds. When Governor Tod finally asked Black men to fight in the Civil War, his men were ready.
William Woodson's military papers state he volunteered and was first in an unassigned unit. Later he was part of the 127th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. This unit was later designated the 5th United States Colored Infantry.
Military records stated that Woodson was 6'2" with Black complexion, black hair and black eyes. However, the census records listed him as a "mulatto," an antiquated term for a mixed-race person.
William was present at many military battles, but one of the most noted battles was at Chaffin Farm near Richmond, Virginia. This was the battle for which Milton Holland won the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Family memories describe William as a dapper, tall man who walked with a limp and when dressed, used a cane. When his grandson, Cecil Woodson decided to take his fiancé to meet his Grandad, and it took several hours to drive from Nelsonville to Rendville in the 1920s, he discovered his Granddad, in his late 80's, who, upon spying the visitor, announced "I'm going dancing," leaving Cecil and his fiancé in the care of Alice, who offered them a bite to eat after their long journey.

Well done Joseph! Sorry it's a bit late, I've been away.
I'm running the Stirling Marathon this May to raise funds for Clydeside Action on Asbestos (CAA). The charity has recently had its funding reduced and is in need of greater support from fundraisers.
It has now been three years since I lost my Dad to Mesothelioma and the injustice of asbestos related diseases has continued to grow. CAA is a charity that does exceptional work, with the Scottish Parliament as well as individuals and families, to fight such an injustice.
You can support their latest campaign, for the removal of asbestos from schools, here (https://www.change.org/p/protect-our-children-from-asbestos-in-scottish-schools).
The lack of awareness of these diseases poses great challenges for the charity. The problem is growing and supporting a small and dedicated charity is the best way forward.
Any donations would be greatly appreciated. Remember Gift Aid significantly increases your donation. Thank you for your kind support!
At the end of August I will climb the highest peaks in Wales, England and Scotland (Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis). Along with 5 others, I will attempt to complete this challenge within 24 hours.
I intend to raise money for Clydeside Action on Asbestos. I started fundraising in 2014 after my Dad lost his life to mesothelioma. However my continued work with CAA has made it clear my tragedy was not an isolated case. The issues they represent are consistently overlooked by the Government and as a small charity they really have their work cut out.
However in my opinion, CAA is still one of the most effective charities in Scotland. The work of their support groups provides invaluable comfort to those suffering from debilitating asbestos induced diseases. It is therefore imperative they have the resources they need to continue their outstanding work.
This run marks one year since the passing of my Dad, who sadly lossed his fight against Mesothelioma in April 2014-caused by the injustice of asbestos.
I have continued to witness the support provided by Clydeside Action on Asbestos, over the past 3 years, to both those who suffer from asbestos induced diseases and their families.
I cannot emphasize the importance of their work enough! In an attempt to aid them in their efforts I appeal for any donations.
My friend Neil, who has been of a great support to my family, is running with me and therefore we are sharing this page.
I have used Just Giving before and can therefore vouch for their security and efficiency. If applicable, please remember to enable Gift Aid to maximize your donation.
As most of you know, one of my close friends, Joe, recently lost his dad, Chris, to mesothelioma, a cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. Chris was a wonderful man who was cruelly taken before his time.
Clydeside Action on Asbestos (CAA) is a wonderful charity that aims to remove asbestos from the work place and help victims of exposure and their families. Please donate whatever you can to help tackle this injustice.
Hello, my name is Joe Finnerty.
First of all, thank you for visiting my JustGiving page.
I lost my Dad to Mesothelioma in April 2014. This was due to the injustice of Asbestos, which Clydeside Action on Asbestos campaign to fight.
I am raising money in an attempt to ensure that fewer people experience the pain that my family have gone through. As well as a testimony to how great a man, my Dad truly was.
Any donations to help me achieve this goal will be greatly appreciated and are completely safe and secure.
Don't forget Gift Aid significantly increases your donation, with no additional cost.
Best of luck Joe !!
Have a good run Joe hope the weather is kind to you on the day.
Good luck! Proud of you!
Good luck Dad would be so proud of the work you continue to do to help Clydeside Action on Abestosis (CAA) who continue to support families like ourselves.
sorry it's late, and well done!
Well done 'Team Joe' on successfully completing the 3 peaks challenge, such an amazing achievement !!!
Joseph, hope your climbs went well. It's a huge challenge and I'm sure all of your training will have helped you to complete it, and your mum's lasagne!
Nice one Joe! Sorry I couldn't be there.
Hi Joe. I hope the weather is kind!
Wishing you the best for the three peaks.
Good luck Joseph you are a real credit to your mum & dad and he would be so very proud of you and all your achievements.
Hope it is a good day for you. Philip did it last year for charity.
Good luck Joseph, Dad would be so proud of you as I am.
In memory of a dear brother who through his work helped others to fight the injustice of asbestos related diseases. Proud to help Joe continue that work for a very worthy cause.
Well done Joe, you fight the good fight just like your dad.
Best of luck Joe and Neil!
Well done Joe, a great cause. Good luck on the run, remember pain is temporary, pride is permanent.
Sorry Joseph this is after the event, we have many fond memories of your Dad and seeing him at Pat's shortly before he passed. Well done, 13 miles is not easy.
Sorry this is after the event, but this is in memory of your Dad, a much loved colleague.
Well done, Joe. Your Dad, as ever, would have been so proud of you. Keep up the fight...!
Well done! He'd be proud.
Hi Joseph. A bit slow Im afraid - not you - my response in making a donation. Fantastic effort to raise so much. Your dad would have been v proud.
Well done Joseph - a fantastic achievement for a great cause and a great man!
well done. Just think how fast you will be next time with some training!
Really proud of you Greg - what a great effort and a great time. You clearly don't get your athleticism from your father!
Well Done Joe, the Steens' are very proud of you!
If I'd known that you were planning on a 2 hour 30 min time, I would have entered to finish ahead of you at 2 hour 29 min. Hope your mental preparation pays off.
Joe - Sorry this is on the last minute - but your Dad was always on the last minute too! He'd be very proud of you.
Goodluck Joseph. All the best from the McEwan family.
All the best Joseph and good luck, enjoy the run!!
Good luck tomorrow greg! I hope all your training pays off!
Hi Girlies good luck for tomorrow, your support to Claire Joseph and I means so much. Chris is sadly missed everyday but close in our hearts always and never forgotten.
Hi Joseph do your best and we will see you after.
Good luck for tomorrow, well done on raising so much!
Joe, go for it. Pain is temporary, pride is permanent.
Good luck Joseph ...what an inspiring and lovely man your Dad was who talked so highly of you and Claire. Run like the wind.
Good Luck with the run Joseph. Great effort - your Dad would be rightly proud of you. Best to all, as I know Mum and Claire likely to be supporting on the sidelines !

Palo Alto: New funding platform seeks to…
Palo Alto: New funding platform seeks to eliminate bias
By Marisa Kendall | mkendall@bayareanewsgroup.com | Bay Area News Group
PALO ALTO — Clarence Wooten, founder of VentureFund.io, wants to change the way entrepreneurs get funded.
In his ideal world, there would be no need to go door to door on Sand Hill Road with a rehearsed pitch and listen to rejection after rejection. Instead, founders would sit back and let investors come to them. And their startups would be judged not on their founders but on the one thing that Wooten says matters above all else: their numbers.
"There's a saying that goes you're either making money or you're raising money," Wooten said. "It's very difficult to focus on both of those things at the same time. Pitching investors is a full-time job that distracts you from growing your startup."
Palo Alto-based VentureFund.io, which launched Tuesday, is an online platform that connects entrepreneurs with investors. In that space, it joins other matchmaking sites such as AngelList, FundersClub and MicroVentures, all of which seek to streamline the funding process.
But what's different about VentureFund.io, Wooten says, is its metrics-driven approach. Investors can use the site to track data from a participating startup in real time — monitoring how many people download the startup's app, buy its product or visit its website — and can reach out to companies with proven traction. The investor sees a company's numbers before meeting its founder, turning the traditional funding process on its head. Wooten says that creates a level playing field for all founders, regardless of their background, location, connections, gender or race. And in a time when many Silicon Valley VCs are putting a public focus on diversity, such a tool could be attractive as a means of eliminating bias.
Several big-name investors have joined VentureFund.io during its testing phase, including Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator and 500 Startups. But other VCs, many of whom have been fielding funding pitches for decades, may be reluctant to jump on board. Robert Ackerman Jr. of Allegis Capital said an online platform is no substitute for sitting down and getting to know an entrepreneur.
"First and foremost we're investing in people," he said. "I will invest in a great team of people without empirical data before I will invest in a mediocre team of people with empirical data."
Shanna Tellerman, co-founder and CEO of interior design startup Modsy, called the new platform a brilliant idea — if only for consumer-focused startups with metrics that are easily tracked.
"I think it is a very good idea to take some of that bias out of the discovery process," she said, "which right now is certainly biased toward people who have certain connections to venture funds."
That bias also creates a homogeneous pool of successful entrepreneurs, said Wooten, who came up with the idea for VentureFund.io after struggling to secure funding for his social networking startup Groupsite.com. He said the problem was he was living in Maryland, not Silicon Valley. And as an African-American man, he didn't fit the mold.
"If an investor is successful investing in the alumni of PayPal, they continue to invest in the alumni of PayPal," Wooten said. "But if they've never had success or exposure investing in a minority, then that doesn't fit the pattern. So you walk in the door at a slight disadvantage."
Nationally, 1 percent of company founders were African-American in 2010, and 8 percent were women, according to the most recent report available from CB Insights. There has been a recent push to bring more women and minorities into venture and entrepreneurship — last year more than 40 venture capital firms signed a diversity pledge during White House Demo Day — but diversity remains one of Silicon Valley's most pressing issues.
For Tellerman, VentureFund.io also poses security concerns. Wooten promises founders' data will remain private until they decide which investors to allow access. But Tellerman said she would still worry about her company's internal data going up online, adding, "I would rather sit down and tell the story and talk to the person directly."

Notes: Hit 20min of paddle boarding in the morning. Hit golf balls for the first time in years after that. Later in the afternoon I did some bar work working on my clean. Feeling much better about the clean!!!!


I would like to introduce you to Amanda Murano and Lindsey Dvorak, recent graduates from Center Point Yoga School. On February 18, 2018 their hard work and dedication paid off and they completed their 200 hour Hatha yoga teacher certification. They have worked hard and have kept their goals in sight and I am excited for what the future holds for them! I feel grateful for being able to be part of other journey of yoga, of life.
Center Point Yoga School is back in session with a group graduating in may 2018. If you are thinking about doing this, we are taking applications for training beginning in August, 2018, download he application here!
Hello! By way of introduction, my name is Lindsey. Undergoing yoga teacher training at Center Point Yoga School was the (best) decision (ever). I love physical movement and I think we're all meant to move as a form of expression. Yoga, in particular, brings me to life in exhilarating ways. When I'm practicing yoga, I can connect with my body and music in a way that makes me feel strong, empowered, and confident. After meeting Wendy, I immediately "clicked" with her teaching style and knew this program was right for me (and it was better than I could have ever imagined)! I learned so much about yoga, myself, and others.
Initially entering the program, I was unsure how I wanted to use the learnings; but, personally speaking, I will use the lessons in my daily life - specifically, how to express myself creatively, honestly, and kindly. For others, I want to focus on private prenatal yoga in Boulder, CO (where I now live).
My training came at a perfect time in my life. I was constantly contemplating and stressing about my future. One thing my training has taught me, is to stay in the present. I have a better understanding through the physical, mental, and spiritual aspect of yoga through the assignments, exercises, and practice teaching. I have slowly incorporated this into my life because I realize now that I am content in my life right now and take things day by day. I hope to also incorporate this into my teaching because I really believe it is something that everyone struggles with. My training has also definitely brought me outside of my comfort zone. As uncomfortable as it is, stepping out of your comfort zone helps you grow the most. I truly believe that this journey has helped me grow tremendously as a person.
For my final project, I designed a yoga program for the specific needs and conditioning of golfers. Living in Florida everyone I know golfs. I want share how beneficial yoga can be to healing injuries , conditioning. and improving their swing. I am excited help people through yoga!


Come, sir, come,I'll wrestle with you in my strength of love.Look, here I have you, thus I let you go,And give you to the gods.
I only have two fingers left.I wrote the lies of my farewell with two fingers.That is the truth.We are evil.They are kids.We are evil.
We can't play God.We can't do this to kids.You're evil, I'm evil.Everyone will die.No matter what.Let nature win.
Out in the fjord I dragged myself up at once, wet with fever and exhaustion, and gazed landwards, and bade farewell for the present to the town – to Christiania, where the windows gleamed so brightly in all the homes.
All good knights, pilgrims, sons in search of fortune, seekers after truth, and plain ordinary fools, turn towards the city they have left and take farewell according to their nature. This is a full moment in all journeying, the time when girths are tightened in preparation for the miles that lie ahead.
It was a cool day and very clear. You could see a long way-but not as far as Velma had gone.
All we know, Midnight. The best of all we know. For Chestry Valley and its master we loved. For Nana. For Sugarloaf and Brimstone Farm. For Pop and Mom and Tom. For the foals to come. For yesterday and for all tomorrows, we dance the best we know. For good-by.
Day will move on and live his life. So will I. We will be okay. Someday, perhaps in the far and distant future, we'll find each other again.
Yes" Said Gandalf; "for it will be better to ride back three together than one alone. Well, here at last, dear friends, on the shores of the Sea comes the end of out fellowship in Middle-earth. Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.
every line of your face, Alex. When I walk away, I want to know that I've made every last second I had with you count.
She let me go, finally," was all I could say.
It's hard to say goodbye for good at any time or any place. It's harder still to say it through a meshed wire. It crisscrossed his face into little diagonals, gave me only little broken-up molecules of it at a time. It stenciled a cold, rigid frame around every kiss.
I go to the ocean to say goodbye.
It can't be any simpler: the farewell is going to be on the Champs-Elysees.

The Importance of Trans Allies
"I can't do this alone." I muttered those words to myself at several points during my transition, especially as I prepared to come out in my workplace. I can remember feeling as if I was staring up at Mount Everest wondering how, and if, I could ever make it over or around it.

"I can't do this alone."
I muttered those words to myself at several points during my transition, especially as I prepared to come out in my workplace. I can remember feeling as if I was staring up at Mount Everest wondering how, and if, I could ever make it over or around it. After four-plus decades of living someone else's life, putting up appearances and dealing with daily self-inflicted doses of shame, guilt and denial, I had had enough. I could no longer hide the real "me."
The only thing I knew to do was to enlist the support of those colleagues that were closest to me. Those that knew me best. Over a series of lunches, I came out to each of them in a highly personal way: one-on-one, explaining to them how I felt and that I needed to do this -- and I asked for understanding and support. I now realize that risks were taken on both sides of that conversation. For me, it was the risk of being rejected. For as much as I thought that they would respond positively to the news that I was changing my gender, there were simply no guarantees. On their side, it was risk in the form of making yourself vulnerable by being available to and showing compassion for someone who is opening up their soul right before your very eyes and asking for your help.
They could have chosen to turn away -- but they didn't. I was fortunate. Others like me aren't so fortunate. While I can report that these intimate conversations, held in diner booths and on park benches, gave me the confidence and the resolve I needed to move forward with my workplace transition. For many others, they do not have an empathetic ear to turn to.
For me, the importance of allies can never, ever be overstated.
Depending on what research you read, the transgender and gender non-conforming communities make up no more than one percent of the U.S. population. That's approximately 3 million people. But in reality that number is quite deceiving, because not all of us make ourselves "visible" to others and fewer still make the highly personal decision to publicly transition. Practically speaking, the number is quite less. The bottom line: It's a numbers game. We simply cannot fight for our equal rights alone. There is an absence of critical mass. We do not have the numbers.
We cannot do this alone.
You may be reading this and thinking that you can't possibly be an ally. You may not even think of yourself as an ally, but you know what? You may already be an ally and just aren't aware of it. I sincerely doubt that my aforementioned colleagues would have seen themselves as an ally in those moments, but rather as a friend who is listening and trying as best they can to understand a subject that they are hearing about for the first time in their lives. A subject that seems quite foreign to them. But yet they seek to understand.
Has that happened to you? Has someone with the same history as me ever approached you about having that conversation? Have you actually had that conversation? Well, guess what? If you have, you're an ally. Now I ask you to take it to the next level -- and own it.
Jeanne Manford stepped up and owned it. Who is Jeanne Manford, you ask? Jeanne, the mother of Morty, her gay son, is the person credited with starting what has now become PFLAG, the organization that I am proud to say I recently joined as a National Board Member. Hopefully, PFLAG is an organization that is not foreign to you. Chances are it isn't because of the wonderful work that happens each and every day in more than 350 chapters across the United States.
It was 1972, and she proudly marched alongside Morty in the Christopher Street Liberation Day March in New York City. Did she take a risk? Did she put herself out there for all to see? Did she come out as the parent of a gay son? Absolutely! I suspect that if you were marching with Jeanne that day and asked her if she was an "ally", she might answer in this way: "I'm his mother, he's my son, I love him and I just want him to live his life happily with the same rights as everyone else." Sure sounds like an ally to me. And that's my point.
You possess the power to change our world, and all you have to do is reach out and take the hand of someone who asks only that you understand, as best you can, what it means to walk in their shoes. Not sure where to start? I encourage you to visit PFLAG National's Straight for Equality project, and grab a free copy of their new resource: guide to being a trans ally. It might provide the information you need to give you confidence as an ally.
After all, as Christopher Robin once told Winnie the Pooh, "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think."
To that I would add: You have the courage to change the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Home Gloucestershire Vitality Blast Quarter-Final Preview: Worcestershire Rapids v Gloucestershire
Vitality Blast Quarter-Final Preview: Worcestershire Rapids v Gloucestershire
By Huw Lloyd -
Worcestershire Rapids (pic via YouTube, with thanks)
First in the North group take on fourth in the South group at new Road on Saturday afternoon, which you could be forgiven for assuming points to a home victory and the Rapids securing a first finals day ever. However, in the group stages Worcestershire only won one more game than their opponents and tonight's contenders may be more evenly matched than it would initially appear.
The Rapids won 9 matches in the group stage, securing top spot with a victory over local rivals Birmingham in their last game. Had they not won this, they would have finished third and level on victories with Gloucestershire.
Gloucestershire, who when I was growing up watching cricket were limited overs masters with John Lewis and Mark Alleyne, have never won the T20 competition and will be looking to put that right this year. They have not visited Finals Day since 2007, when they finished runners up and, before that, losing semi finalists in 2003. This will be something that grates on a county with such a fine limited overs pedigree.
Gloucestershire arrive, unlike their hosts, on the back of a loss in their last game of the group stages, where they succumbed to Hampshire.
Both sides are what you would call "unfashionable" and a lot of neutrals will be hoping they go far in the competition, whoever reaches Finals Day. While the bookies have the home side as favourites, and with Moeen Ali in such fine form at the moment, it is easy to see why.
Ali will be fresh off a double hundred and eight wickets last week and, although it was a different format, his confidence will be high. I am predicting a victory for the visiting side, just like the first two quarterfinals, but the wicket of Ali will be crucial for the men from Gloucester.
Nothing gets the juices flowing like an exciting young fast bowler, and if you're watching Worcestershire at the moment then you may be gushing with their battery of young quicks. In T20 cricket this year, it has been one of those quicks who has proved key for the Rapids. Pat Brown has taken 27 wickets at a miserly average of 13.26 and an economy rate of 8.11, which for a bowler who bowls the majority of his overs in the powerplay and at the death is an excellent return. If this impressive young man can provide more of the same for the Rapids then their chances of progressing to finals day will be greatly enhanced.
There are said to be two certainties in life: death and taxes. I would add Michael Klingerscoring runs in T20 cricket to that to make a third. In this format the Australian is supreme and has been for many years. This season has seen him amass 407 runs so far, at an average of 37 and a strike rate of 115. He bats at the top of the order and invariably gets the side from Bristol away to a flyer. If he can do this against the Rapids, and go on from there, the side from the Southern group may well be booking their place at Edgbaston on the 15thof September.
Allrounder Brett D'Oliveira is fit and available for selection, which will be a huge boost for the Rapids after an injury scare. Luke wood, on loan from Nottinghamshire, is also available and Moeen Ali, who the Rapids may feel is on loan from England, is also available and will captain the side. There is no place for fit-again Josh Tongue, but leading wicket taker Pat Brown is in the squad as is overseas clubber Callum Ferguson.
Worcestershire Rapids squad:Moeen Ali (c), J Clarke, C Ferguson, T Fell, B D'Oliveira, B Cox (w), R Whiteley, E Barnard, W Parnell, D Mitchell, L Wood, D Pennington, A Carter, P Brown
Gloucestershire have a squad without big household names, but a squad with quiet effectiveness. They will have runs from Michael Klinger and Ian Cockbain, and wickets from the bowling genius of Benny Howell as well as the overseas excellence of Andrew Tye, widely regarded as the best T20 pace bowler in the world.
Gloucestershire squad: M Klinger (c), I Cockbain, C Dent, G Drissell, M Hammond, R Higgins, B Howell, C Liddle, J Lintott, D Payne, G Roderick (wk), J Taylor, M Taylor, A Tye
Worcestershire Rapids:WLLWWW
Gloucestershire:LLWAWW
The weather is looking set fair for the match, broken cloud and sunshine forecast with temperatures predicted at around 17 degrees, so it's definitely jumper weather. New Road isn't the biggest scoring ground, so don't expect a run fest, but do expect a good track with something in it for the bowlers and an even contest between bat and ball.
