The injury happened in the second quarter when O'Shay Ackerman-Carter was running with the ball out of bounds.
Tennessee State starting quarterback O'Shay Ackerman-Carter will miss the rest of the season after tearing his MCL and ACL in Saturday's game against Bethune-Cookman..
Ackerman-Carter confirmed the injury in a text to The Tennessean Monday night and added, "I'll be back."
The injury happened in the second quarter when Ackerman-Carter was running with the ball out of bounds. He was not hit on the play.
After being taken into the locker room for treatment, Ackerman-Carter returned to the field in the second half out of uniform and on crutches and watched the remainder of the game from the sideline. He was favoring his right leg and had a bandage on his right knee.
Ackerman-Carter missed three games last season after suffering knee and shoulder injuries. He underwent shoulder surgery in the offseason, which forced him to miss spring practice.

JULY-AUG 2001
Against the Giuliani Legacy
By Williams Cole
Part II: Indecency and the free market
Obscenity is a moral concept in the verbal arsenal of the Establishment, which abuses the term by applying it not to expressions of its own morality, but to those of another. — Herbert Marcuse
Given the recent private actions that have become public, criticism of Mayor Rudy Giuliani's attacks on "indecent" art and behavior perhaps would be like digging a hole in new topsoil—it's easy unless you go deeper. But Giuliani's marital woes—and the definitions of "decency" implicit in them—conceal more serious issues: Who defines "decency," and what is the real political and economic effect of attacks on "indecent" or "obscene" behavior and expression in New York City?
In part one of "Against the Giuliani Legacy," I questioned the triumphalism of the Giuliani administration's "quality of life" campaign and argued that real quality of life should be measured in terms of the alleviation of poverty and increased equality for all New York City. While the world looked to Giuliani's New York as a model of urban reform, poverty rates during the economic boom of the last seven years actually increased in many areas. Still, the meaning of "quality of life" was defined entirely by the Giuliani administration and doted upon by media, tourists, and many New Yorkers.
Politics is a battle over definitions: is "quality of life" an "out of sight, out of mind" cosmetic term for some neighborhoods, or does it reflect the objective of ending poverty and creating opportunity? So is it really "indecent" and "obscene" to exhibit art that comments on or redefines religious iconography? Indecency, from another perspective, is the erection of concerted barriers that make it extremely difficult to get food stamps while billions of dollars are practically given to large corporations that "threaten" to move out of N.Y.C.
What are the concepts of "decency" and "obscenity," as envisioned by Rudy Giuliani? There's no need for yet another dissection of Giuliani's character, especially since he's had to evaluate public criticisms of his personal behavior, which, many would argue, has been less than "decent." But the personalization of politics and policies is a slippery slope. Regardless of his individual hypocrisy, it is the war that the Giuliani administration has waged against First Amendment rights, sex shops, and, most importantly, public funding of expression, that has had a social/political effect on the fabric of this city. And this effect is tangible, censorious, and counter-intuitive to the diversity and freedom that New York City represents across the nation and the world.
No doubt, a bizarre character
It is amazing to see someone in the political arena who is so unaware of his own vulnerabilities and of how people see him. Indeed, Giuliani's inability to take criticism nicely makes him appear to have an almost pathological aversion to modesty. Though I am not wholly interested in his personal history or how bizarre his character is—for an exhaustive biography of Giuliani, pick up Wayne Barrett's Rudy! And Investigative Biography—the basic outline of Giuliani's life helps clarify his point of view.
Giuliani recited the catechism every morning in Catholic schools and at Manhattan College until he reached N.Y.U. Law where, unlike many others in the 1960s, he opted for operatic arias rather than the Beatles or the Stones. In many ways, he seemed to have missed his youth and not participated in the defining protests of his generation, such as the anti-war and civil rights movements. These experiences helped form his worldview, and his strict Manichean outlook probably accounts for some righteousness and impulse to spew out definitions of "decency" in a way so hubristic that it has probably neutered his elected political future.
Nevertheless, Giuliani's constant drumbeat of conservative morality, sincere or not, reinforces the economically and politically conservative ideology that has crept into New York City from its roots in American Christian Coalition fundamentalism. And this, in a city so racially, culturally, religiously, and philosophically diverse, should be met with great suspicion.
The veneer of liberalism
While Giuliani knew that he wouldn't get elected in New York City without ostensibly supporting gay rights, gun control, and a woman's right to choose, by merely hedging on these issues he is seen as a liberal by the Ashcroft crowd. In one sense, then, he is a true embodiment of the separation of social conservative and economic/political conservative; in an urban environment, Giuliani must conceal his economic conservatism with a vaguely liberal patina.
Giuliani and his backers learned from the early 1990s takeover of the G.O.P. by fundamentalist right-wingers that in order to take conservatism to the big cities—where cultural bon-vivants, various subcultures, and the poor form the majority—one must create a different profile. This new face allows for people to have some personal freedom, yet, in the realm of political discourse, as well as economics and social programs, it is the same old tenuous free market mantra that moves all processes of society into the private sector and away from public accountability.
There is a tradition, maybe a necessity, in New York City of promoting social liberalism, and for more than a century there has been a brand of populism characterized by helping those in need, remaining suspicious of concentrated power, and creating opportunities and a support network for the poor. While what we have seen in the "new" New York City is a Reaganesque economic regime, including the repeated failure of the "trickle down" theory, there is also a wannabe Reaganesque regime on the social-cultural side that relies on amorphous concepts of "personal responsibility." Much of what Giuliani does, from punishing "quality of life" offenses to restricting welfare, is permeated with a sense of behavior modification and social control, something "non-regulating" conservatives like to impose on errant individuals but not on private collective power as manifested in corporate wealth.
Art wars and the Helmsian beachhead
In the fall of 1999, with the Brooklyn Museum show featuring an African artist, Chris Ofili, Giuliani had an opportunity to prove his lagging Reaganite colors on the cultural front. And while the Mayor perhaps thought at the time that his outbreak would garner the needed support of upstate Catholics for his Senate bid, at the same time he intentionally pushed the conservative beachhead further into New York City's core.
But Giuliani's actions also reflected an irrational know-it-all mentality reasoned on a plane saturated with hyperbole. For example, take that now-infamous work by Chris Ofili of a black Virgin Mary with balls of elephant dung placed on and around it as an African homage to fertility (according to the artist). Giuliani consistently described it as having dung "flung" at it or "smeared" on it and he used the pejorative adjectives that did not in any way reflect the physical facts of the painting. The local and national media, with few exceptions, took this description at face value. A practicing Catholic himself, Offili had already won the coveted UK Turner Prize.
Although it garnered much national press, this lashing out ironically created a negative buzz within the same upper echelons of New York that actually enjoy the "new" New York. Suddenly, cocktail partygoers on the upper sides of Manhattan were talking about how the mayor had gone too far. Undaunted, Giuliani then cut city funding to the Brooklyn Museum, only to see it reinstated by a federal judge who found the mayor's action to be blatantly unconstitutional.
Most recently, another person of color dared to reinterpret one of the traditional Catholic images. Renee Cox's "Yo Mama's Last Supper" portrayed the artist nude in the place of Jesus at the Last Supper—and once again, the piece was on display at the Brooklyn Museum. This time, Rudy got on the pulpit, calling it "disgusting" and "anti-Catholic" and immediately coming up with the idea of a "decency panel" to represent his worldview. Only his most pliable acolytes agreed to be part of this panel and even Rudy himself could not define the standards it is theoretically supposed to uphold.
Private vs. public censorship
Late in his administration, Giuliani thus filled the air with Helmsian jingoism, and his arguments about how public monies were being put towards "obscene," "indecent," or "offensive" material aroused the fiscal ire of some taxpayers. But, in one sense, Giuliani merely reinforced the argument that "offensive" or controversial art can and should be supported only in the "private" world, and that public funds should not be involved in "provocative" art.
Aside from the obvious problem involved with assessing such subjective definitions, this argument is troubling because it is predicated on the idea that the private sector does not censor and that everyone has the same access to the same private resources and can show their art easily. These arguments ignore the root of the philosophy behind a public institution, in which there is ideally more accountability, more protection from market censorship, and, in the realm of expression, more space to criticize and provoke for the good of the public debate.
By further neutering expression in the public sphere, Giuliani helps sustain a larger contemporary American myth: that the private world is where "freedom" thrives and where people's First Amendment rights are truly protected. While the drafters of the constitution surely had a healthy suspicion of government, times have changed and there is no denying that corporations and their very influence on government are the holders of mammoth power. But the power they hold is not as accountable because they are in the private sector and thus not under the same mandates of disclosure and responsibility. This trend to push the arts into the private, less accountable marketplace is the triumph of the neo-laissez-faire.
As if to try and assuage criticism from the cultural elite at the end of his tenure, almost simultaneously with the "Yo Mama's Last Supper"debacle, the Giuliani administration dedicated $1.2 billion of public money over the next 10 years to cultural institutions like the Guggenheim, Lincoln Center, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These are institutions mostly based in Manhattan and interlocked with corporate interests and patronage in a way that resembles a Mondrian painting. And while such largesse surely helps ameliorate criticism from some sectors of the arts community, the money will come out of future city budgets, not Giuliani's.
Giuliani's double-edged approach—of hammering away at decency while filling the coffers of the biggest museums—also fits a broader pattern. Larger "acceptable" institutions of expression—be they media companies or museums—get richer, while those more willing to take risks have less funding to do so. The effect is further restriction on free, potentially more controversial expression. Established institutions get subsidies and are well-protected, while all else is tossed into the "free market" where success is often determined by these same large entities. In the process, public institutions become more and more concerned about competition and "market share."
Giuliani's unwavering adherence to the blind-the-public policy of privatization and the free market has led to billions of dollars being given away to corporations in the form of tax breaks, subsidies, and incentives. Besides giving well over $1 billion to financial entities like the New York Stock Exchange (N.Y.S.E.) and NASDAQ in the middle of their flush days, tens upon tens of millions were given to media companies like CBS, Time-Warner, and News America (owner of the New York Post). These billions of dollars should have been public monies, and although these kinds of deals are now the status quo in government they should, nonetheless, be seen as indecent.
We should not be led to think that freedom of expression only perseveres under the auspices of private institutions, an idea that Giuliani seems to believe. To think so is a perversion of what "public" signifies and protects. The idea of "market censorship"—that what's worthy is only what sells—should be on the lips of all creators, journalists, politicians, and citizens, and used as a constant analytical tool. It must also be kept in mind that what sells is usually what has been chosen to be promoted.
Even so, public funding for the arts—public broadcasting included—has already been nearly vanquished as a result of the social conservative putsches of the Reagan era. Let's face it, any of your tax money that is spent in these areas is miniscule. It's simply not pragmatic for most politicians—and for that matter, corporations—to fund art, film, journalism, research, etc. that is both controversial and critical of established power. True public discourse and freedom of expression requires protection from the jingoistic politicians who want to fulfill their own political, and many times personal, needs.
"Decency," "obscenity," and all their related adjectives are subjective measures. To institutionalize one of these arbitrary standards in the public realm is to admit that a diverse democracy does not work. Rudy Giuliani, true to his Reaganite background, has tried to foist this idea on New York City. If he succeeds in taking freedom away from the public sphere and moving everything into the unaccountable private world, and this is a legacy the next mayor accepts, it could be the beginning of the end of the city Giuliani has repeatedly called "the capital of the world."

INDIALOGUE
How to Live a Best Life, With Melisa Tien
By Matthew Paul Olmos
MAR 2020 | Theater
The term "living your best life" is an identity concept which seems rampant on social media—this idea that whatever we might be doing with ourselves, living one's "best life" is completely in our own hands; it is a readily available utopia should we choose to live it. For Tien, this play came from the process of seeing this concept of a "best life" against the backdrop of the "real racial and economic divides" which were being heavily reported in the media while she was writing.
Duke Riley: Welcome Back to Wasteland Fishing
By Will Fenstermaker
OCT 2020 | ArtSeen
Riley's concept here is straightforward: he shows anglers how to up-cycle plastic waste into sport-fishing equipment. Part of what Riley illustrates is that fishing, like just about everything else, is dominated by capital. The lures are a pun; they nod to the fish that is fatally hooked to commercial desire.
Muwashshaḥa Qalandariyya
by Taqi al-Din 'Ali ibn al-Maghribi, translated from Arabic by David Larsen
NOV 2020 | Poetry
Taqi al-Din 'Ali ibn al-Maghribi was a poet of Baghdad known for his sophisticated obscenity and absurd wit. A collection of his poems was made, and his prose treatise on love (entitled The Epistle of the Two Luminaries) is remembered, but they exist in fragments now, mostly in biographical dictionaries. Ibn al-Maghribi died in 1285.

OCT 2020 | Field Notes
That the feasibility of using the ongoing depression to further drive down wages, cut benefits, and worsen working conditions is being discussed via a social-scientific dispute—whether a short-term relief measure is a disincentive to work at a time when 30 million jobs have vanished—tells us more about the nature of economics than about the motivation for employment. It provides further support, if any is needed, for historian of science Jerome Ravetz's description of economics as a "folk science," "a body of accepted knowledge whose function is not to provide the basis for further advance but to offer comfort and reassurance to some body of believers."2

Boat Camp Is Back
Posted by Challenge Wales on 07/04/2022
Following the success of our first Boat Camp in 2021, we've launched another date for Boat Camp for those that are a little bit older aged 16 -25 years.
Although most young people jump on Challenge Wales or Adventure Wales boats as part of a group, we know that being part of a group isn't possible for everyone and that was when Boat Camp was realised.
The next Boat Camp is Thursday 14th April and is a full day on the sail training vessel Adventure Wales. No sailing experience is required to take part and all waterproofs and equipment is provided.
Those onboard might be interested in trying something new, improving their social skills or learning new activities as part of a team. The day voyage is great for those looking to put something on their CV and highlight those important soft skills, while others are looking to just have a day on the water with like-minded people. The activities onboard help people understand more about ocean literacy, are evidenced to improve mental health and wellbeing and give young people an opportunity to learn more about having a career at sea and future opportunities. Our experienced crew will be there to help everyone get the most out of the day and support them.
The full cost for the day is £95 but a guaranteed bursary is available to reduce the cost to £50. Should a participant require further financial assistance then an additional bursary of £20 is available which reduces the full cost to just £30. Fundraising has made the bursary possible, but if someone doesn't require a bursary then they can pay what they can afford (between £30 and £95) and the bursary not utilised will go towards helping someone else to come onboard.
To book a place, please email the Challenge Wales office or call 029 20 704657.

World Sailing Global Women's Sailing Festival Features Challenge Wales Trustee
The #SteeringThe Course festival is focussing on inspirational women participating in sailing, whether it is on the water, or off, but who are playing their part in getting people involved in sailing.
Vicky Williams, part of the Challenge Wales team
Vicky shares her story with World Sailing/RYA Cymru;
"I came from a non-sporty, non-sailing family and was introduced into sailing by a friend in my late teens, who I sailed for fun with on a few occassions. At that time I was actively competing in Dragon Boat Racing (which I really loved) and really enjoyed being on the water but sailing was completely new and a bit outside my comfort zone. My first sailing experiences were all about being an extra body onboard and just having a go. A few years later my husband (who had been a competitive sailor) bought a 41ft boat and I learnt the basics of sailing, learning the ropes and becoming a competent pair of hands.
A few years later I had the opportunity to jump onboard a Challenge 72, an ex round-the-world racing yacht (now known as Challenge Wales) and knowing how sailing might not always be or feel that accessible and that it can really develop social, communication and teamwork skills, I became a Board Member of the Challenge Wales sail training charity. A charity that uses sailing to inspire and develop young people to achieve their potential. Giving young people the opportunity to sail Challenge Wales and now our second vessel Adventure Wales has enabled some to take a career into the sailing world, for others it has enabled a career into the marine world, for others it has enabled them to feel positive about themselves and motivated them that anything can be possible.
Initially, I was not just a board member but a volunteer crew on many of the voyages but as I was hands-on with helping the new charity develop I stepped back from crewing to enable me to also meet all the people who were jumping onboard, bring in funding and recruit volunteer crew. Now as we head into our 12th year of operation I am amazed how far Challenge Wales has grown. The charity has sailed with thousands of young people jumping onboard, we have 100 volunteers as positive role models, our innovative sail training programme has received recognition within the industry and youth work sector and we even represented Wales at the Queens Jubilee Pageant in London in 2012.
In 2019 we piloted a couple of Ladies Only Sailing Days and a Sea and Tell programme which brings our sailing activities and sea-safety to younger children who can explore our boats in a safe way.
Being outdoors on the water is great for your mental health and connecting with nature and I am passionate about sustainability and environmental issues particularly microplastics (unfortunately) so it's great that I can do this and learn through sailing and more importantly share my enthusiasm with others. I am one of those people that if I see an opportunity I grab it with both hands and will also encourage others to do the same. I hope for those who haven't started sailing when they were really young realise there are still opportunities for getting involved out there.
Challenge Wales offers sailing opportunities for adults as well as young people. The charity works with young people aged 12 – 25 years but other activities the charity does means those aged 18 – 80 can also come sailing, volunteer as crew or get involved behind the scenes to enable more young people to have the opportunity.
We're Recruiting
Join us and share our amazing adventures! As the Challenge Wales sail training charity looks forward to the future and restarting its activities we are on the hunt for a Skipper to join the team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who has the right sailing experience, fun and enthusiastic outlook , ability to manage maintenance activities, lead a team and wants to help young people develop their potential.
Deadline for applications: 21st May 2021

Virtual Tall Ships Race Sets Sail
The spectacle of the Tall Ships is even better when you are at sea in amongst them. This year, Challenge Wales would once again be representing Wales and the UK at the International Tall Ships Races but due to coronavirus she's set sail virtually.
The Tall Ships Races have partnered with the virtual racing simulator sailonline so now, virtually, we can complete each leg of the 2020 postponed Tall Ships Races.
From Lisbon we will race to Cadiz, up to ACoruna and then finishing at Dunkirk.
Virtual Tall Ships Racing brings you the competition and fun of a real race all from the comfort of your armchair. The race plays out in real time, 24/7 with the same weather conditions and although we can't set our sails for real we will be looking at how we can get the best performance out of the boat.
So, if you want to be Skipper of your own boat you can sign up free of charge to take part. Just remember to click on the Tall Ships Races 2020 race! If you want to just watch what's going on then visit www.sailonline.org and sign in using guest (all lower case) as your username and password. This is the first time we have used this virtual racing platform but once we got to grips with it, and could see the results of all the boats alongside the map which shows their position, it is quite addictive.
And, don't forget, if you are cheering for Challenge Wales or Adventure Wales in the virtual Tall Ships Races on social media don't forget to tag us in using #VTSR2020 and @ChallengeWales plus include the hashtag of which boat you are cheering on; #AdventureWales or #ChallengeWales
First voyage of 2020
The first week of March brought the first residential voyage of the season as there was a welcome gap in the winter storms.
Volunteers had pulled out all the stops to make sure that Challenge Wales was ready for her first residential of the year making sure she was ship shape and fully stored. A 7 day voyage with college students where they would be learning about sailing, teamwork, leadership, exploring the local geography and understanding about the environment.
At the end of the voyage you wouldn't have believed that the students had joined not knowing each other and with little to no sailing experience!
But that is what sail training is all about. Our classroom doesn't have four walls and anything can happen on one of our residentials….and it certainly did.
We managed to spot seals at the magical Lundy Island as we stepped ashore there, we had sing songs in the saloon as the Challenge Wales guitar made a guest appearance, we had mugs of hot chocolate on deck to warm ourselves up, we saw friendships develop and conversations had as the digital detox started.
In addition, the young people were learning teamwork skills, exploring the natural world, leading teams, building confidence while having fun.
The voyage took students from Cardiff to Swansea, to Lundy Island and then onto Neyland in West Wales (thanks Neyland Marina for being so welcoming as usual), an anchorage at Tenby and then back up to Cardiff Bay.
It's always sad saying goodbye to students as they depart the boat. The laughter, joking, hustle and bustle of the week starts to die down as the voyage comes to an end. Volunteers reflected on how well the young people had raised to the challenge of learning in a unique environment, achieved their personal & group goals, had seen characters grow and developed personally during the time.
Until the next time…….
Black Friday With A Charitable Difference
Imagine sailing by the stars, experiencing fresh air that smells of the sea and having a digital detox. That's what one of our Black Fridays feels like…
With Christmas adverts bombarding our TV screens and sponsored adverts appearing on our social media feeds it is easy to get overwhelmed and go with the flow at this time of year. Buying things that are here today and broken / fed up with / superseded (delete as necessary) tomorrow.
So what makes our Black Fridays different?
Our Black Fridays incorporate being at sea, on a boat in sometimes an unknown situation with unknown people. It's an experience…and that's the big difference!
The food was delicious, the conversation was hilarious, the activity was amazing / challenging / fun (delete again as necessary), the guests onboard were interesting with their own tales to tell, the weather was perfect, we learnt new things etc. The whole experience creates memories that you can look back on and talk about in the future. The experience connects you with other people who are experiencing the same thing as you. Being outdoors improves mental health (we have independently evaluated this aspect to prove this through our Voyages of Discovery programme) and with different people, crew and weather….yep, every experience with us is different.
Surely collecting experiences, and saying 'I did that!' can be better in the long term than collecting materialistic things.
Challenge Wales runs a variety of voyages for young people and adults aged 12 – 85 years. With a one day voyage costing £95 (as at Nov 2019) and with profits going to support disadvantaged young people to develop their employability skills through sailing, an experience with us can truly be life-changing. Gift vouchers are available!
Celebrating Voyages of Discovery
A three year project funded by The Big Lottery Community Fund Wales, Voyages of Discovery, which worked with some of the most disadvantaged young people in Wales was hailed a success and celebrated its achievements at a recent community celebration event.
Over three years, the sail training charity worked with no fewer than 500 young people, 100 volunteers and developed accredited learning with Agored Cymru in an innovative sail training programme.
Challenge Wales worked in partnership with 50 youth organisations throughout Wales to reach some of the most disadvantaged young people to give them lifeskills development opportunities.
Images and quotes from young people and group leaders were on display at the celebration event
"Challenge Wales took my son for a three day trip and he loved it, he came home happier than I seen him in a long time. He's had his fair share of difficulties and programmes like Challenge Wales make such a difference to his quality of life. Thank you all."
The Voyages of Discovery programme developed Agored Cymru accredited learning giving young people an opportunity to put something tangible onto their CV with the Environmental Project being launched by female Skipper Dee Caffari at the Volvo Ocean Race Stopover event in Cardiff in 2018. The programme not only saw young people improving their teamwork, confidence and social networks but an unexpected outcome of the project was evidenced improvements in young people's mental health.
Young people who had been part of our Voyages of Discovery programme talked about how the programme had impacted their lives positively and inspired them. And, it was great to see how many young people had progressed back into education, employment, volunteering or onto Challenge Wales' mainstream sail training programme.
Guests on the evening heard from our Youth Development Officer on how our programme had reached a diverse audience, a youth worker who had been amazed at the change in the young people and a volunteer who had worked with young people and had seen first hand how the young people had developed during their time onboard.
"We all had an amazing time onboard. The young people gained a lot of valuable experience. The crew members were AMAZING, so positive and reassuring with all of us. They were inspirational!" Group Leader
The project was independently evaluated and evidenced in one young person that for every £1 invested, a benefit of £7.64 was seen! Yes, this project really did have an amazing impact!!
Thank you so much to everyone who was part of our Voyages of Discovery project, it has truly taken us on an amazing journey and thanks to Cardiff International White Water who hosted the event….. of course, we had to pick a venue with water close by!!!
Finally, a really big thank you to National Lottery players and the National Lottery Community Fund who enabled us to run and develop this programme.
You can read some of our case studies from our Voyages of Discovery programme on our website.
Nominate someone for a Tall Ships adventure
Challenge Wales is on the hunt for four deserving young people to take up a fully funded place in the spectacular Tall Ships Races 2019, and is encouraging those aged 15 – 25 years to apply.
The award-winning charity operates a small bursary scheme to subsidise UK residents to take part in its activities however, extra funding from the Cardiff Round Table this year is enabling Challenge Wales to offer four fully funded places, to those living in a CF postcode area across three of the Tall Ships legs this summer which will race in Denmark and Norway. You can find out more by reading our Tall Ships Races Information pack.
Fully funded berths are going to be offered to those young people who are nominated and are truly deserving of a place onboard for an amazing life-changing adventure. Young people can nominate themselves or ask a teacher, parent/guardian, employer, relative or group leader to nominate them.
Successful applicants will be joining the rest of the crew and racing against other Tall Ships from the international Tall Ships fleet and will be representing Wales and the UK at these spectacular events, and no sailing experience is required to take part.
The charity is looking for young people who are wanting an adventure and are up for a challenge. Those taking part are actively running the boat, so it's not just sailing but also cooking, cleaning and working in watches! There is lots of fun onboard too and there is a host of shore-side inter-crew activities organised as well at the end of the race.
Anyone aged 15 – 25 years can contact us themselves to apply but we are also encouraging teachers, colleagues, employees, group leaders, parents and friends to nominate others, aged 15 – 25, for this opportunity who might benefit. Perhaps someone has been working hard for exams or at work and needs a break, maybe someone has had a tough few months, it might be someone who hasn't been able to have a holiday for a few years or someone who would enjoy an adventure, challenge and experiencing new cultures. Applicants must have a valid passport.

The Rogers Cup final will be on Sunday.

Two of the most interesting phenomenons on the Internet right now are arguably blogs and podcasts. The former are personal diaries, and can be written by anyone from the fellow next door to executives in big companies. The latter can be considered something similar to "radio on demand". A podcast is simply a method for distributing multimedia files using the RSS standard. Clients exist for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Depending on your needs, there are different clients you can use in Linux ranging from full graphical tools to simple shell scripts.
A fast and minimalist podcast client is BashPodder, a podcasting client written in bash that requires the bash shell, wget, and sed—all three of which are typically installed on any Linux system. This script will download the multimedia files from the sites named in the bp.conf configuration file and store them in a local directory for you to peruse at your heart's content with any audio player.
Another powerful podcasting client is jPodder, a java-based cross-platform client. jPodder not only provides a GUI interface to podcasting subscriptions, but it downloads selected items you're interested in and hands off the playing of the content to an appropriate program (based on mime-type associations) to listen to or to view. It can also be used to create your own podcasts by stepping you through production, the creation of the RSS feed, editing MP3 tags, FTP transfers, etc. jPodder is perhaps one of the most versatile podcasting clients available and can be freely downloaded at http://www.jpodder.com/.
Once you've got your client, finding interesting podcasts is a breeze, using either http://www.ipodder.org or http://www.podcast.net/ where you will find thousands of different podcasts that you can listen to.
Much has been said about podcasts and podcasting since they were popularized especially in the tech/geek scene more than a year back. Just like blogs, podcasts are yet another Web 2.0 offshoot, bringing content-generation away from centralized sources (i.e., radio, television) into the consumers themselves--we are now prosumers of information and content. We produce, and we consume.
Let's say you came late in the game. Perhaps it's only now that you've purchased your own portable music player, got a broadband connection, or simply got wind of this wonderful new medium that lets you listen to just about anything under the sun, and even create your own audio programmes about anything under the sun, beyond the sun, and even the sun itself!
Let's revisit some basic concepts on podcasts and podcasting. Let's also have a brief rundown of how to produce your own podcast.

Monday I had one of those mornings were I couldn't sleep after 6:00am! I thought, "What could I do this early in the morning?" It came to me, photograph a sunrise on the beach, which I hadn't done in some time. So I set off to the Isle of Palms and I certainly wasn't alone. It was the first crisp morning we have had and everyone was out either walking, running, playing with their dogs, or just admiring the sunrise. I love the morning light; how everything glows with a golden yellow color. I hope you enjoy these images!
A gorgeous way to start a crisp fall day!
Fun at the beach chasing birds.

2018 Hyundai Elantra Eco, Sonata Hybrid, and Ioniq Named "Top Commuter Cars" from CarGurus
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Aug. 30, 2018 –
The 2018 Elantra Eco, Sonata Hybrid, and Ioniq are listed as "Top Commuter Cars" (Under $35K category) in a new study from CarGurus. The newly released "Top Cars For Your Commute" study weighs factors such as commuting efficiency, mileage variation, hilliness, and weather of 84 different metro regions and matches them with cars that excel in vehicle efficiency, horsepower, comfort, and even alternative-fuel options that thrive in each commute. Elantra Eco was named the "Top Commuter Car" in 13 cities, while Ioniq was named a top choice in three, and Sonata Hybrid was deemed a top car for the unique conditions of New Orleans' commute.
"For those who regularly drive to and from work, commuting conditions should absolutely be a consideration when car shopping – they can make the difference between regret and enjoyment," says Matt Smith, senior editor at CarGurus. "The Elantra Eco, Ioniq, and Sonata Hybrid all offer excellent fuel economy, quiet rides, and comfortable interiors, making them excellent commuting options."
CarGurus sourced data for its "Top Cars For Your Commute" recommendations by calculating average distance from home to work for commuters who work in 84 of the largest U.S. metro areas. The average distance was calculated from the Census Transportation Planning Products, while the travel and efficiency information was adapted from the Texas A&M Transportation Institute's Urban Mobility Scorecard. CarGurus grouped metro areas with similar characteristics to form its commuting clusters for use in the study, and then its editorial team chose cars with features that fit each group, including one option above a $35,000 MSRP and one below. The survey fielded more than 1,800 people ages 18+ who identified as employed individuals or students.
"This recognition by CarGurus highlights Hyundai's dedication to the driving experience, ensuring that customers are as comfortable and happy as possible on their daily commutes," says Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. "Whether it's through eco-friendly technologies or cutting-edge infotainment features, Hyundai is committed to satisfying customers' needs in their everyday lives."

Q: OWIN, IoC, Bootstraping Providers and Preserving Lifestyles I can't wrap my head around wiring up Providers (OAuth and RefreshToken) defined in an IoC container (Windsor) via OWINs bootstraping (Startup class) and have the Providers lifestyles (PerWebRequest) respected.  I'm only having an issue with the Providers, Controllers which have a Scoped lifestyle are working perfectly.
I know this could never work....but based on the following:
public void ConfigureOAuth(IAppBuilder app, WindsorContainer container)
    {
        OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions OAuthServerOptions = new OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions()
        {
            AllowInsecureHttp = true,
            TokenEndpointPath = new PathString("/token"),
            AccessTokenExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30),
            Provider = container.Resolve<IOAuthAuthorizationServerProvider>(),
            RefreshTokenProvider = container.Resolve<IAuthenticationTokenProvider>()
        };

        // Token Generation
        app.UseOAuthAuthorizationServer(OAuthServerOptions);
        app.UseOAuthBearerAuthentication(new OAuthBearerAuthenticationOptions());

    }

Provider and RefreshTokenProvider will be set only once during Startup.  I'd need them to be PerWebRequest because the underlying implementations uses a UserManager,UserStore and DBContext which is getting out of synch with DB changes because it's never getting disposed.
Not sure if the answer is in an OwinMiddleware or CreatePerOwinContext() ... I've gone in circles trying to get IoC to work correctly with Providers.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: This pretty much fixed it for me:
Dependency Injection (using SimpleInjector) and OAuthAuthorizationServerProvider
The factory method route seemed like the best way to go because of how early it is in OWIN's pipeline.

Q: Ubuntu Machine Reboots instead of Switching to a Virtual Console I just discovered this today and haven't been able to find any info elsewhere.  On one of our labs running Ubuntu 8.04, I tried to switch to a virtual console (Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6]). Instead of switching to the console, though, the machine reboots.
I don't even know where to start trying to fix this, any ideas?
I ran all the updates and messed with the restricted drivers we were using and got nowhere.  We're about to roll out 9.04 on our machines and hope that fixes it; if not, I'll be back here, I'm sure.

A: (Are you using X11 when this happens or are you switching between text consoles? Is your kernel tainted i.e. do you have any binary drivers installed?)
First, install all Ubuntu 8.04 updates (esp for the kernel) and test if the problem disappears. Probably you're not the first who runs into this (esp with this old distribution) and maybe there is already a fix available.
If the problem persists decide between trying the upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04 (the easy way) or trying to find the culprit of the problem (a little bit harder) by capturing a kernel panic: Connect your machine with a serial cable to a second machine (see Documentation/serial-console.txt in the kernel sources for an explanation). Alternatively you can try to capture the panic with netconsole (which sends the kernel panic as a UDP packet to a 2nd machine). Google "netconsole" and you'll find explanations how to do this.
Now, if you manage to capture the panic post the entire panic message here and chances are not bad that we'll be able to determine the culprit (you could e.g. search at kerneloops for the function name that appear at the top of the call trace or at the instruction pointer (EIP) address).

A: This can have many causes. One of the things to check would be if the file
/etc/default/console-setup

has a line
ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]"

in it.
Also check in /etc/events.d that the ttys are configured correctly and not all set in the same way as the control-alt-delete file.
Hope this helps.

A: You could check if you are out of diskspace (or memory for that matter).  I have had logon problems when the root partition fills up.

A: txwikinger is right. If the pc works correctly I suppose someone (with root access) made a trick manipulating the configuration files for ctrl+alt+f1 :-)
above all check the file /etc/event.d/control-alt-delete and check this post


The new asqanet is here!
ASQA is pleased to announce that the new asqanet is now available.
Update—Are you an RTO CEO or PEO trying to use your old ASQAnet log in?
All RTO Chief Executives and Principal Executive officers were allocated a new log in and password when asqanet launched on 27 September 2016. If you are an RTO Chief Executive or CRICOS provider Principal Executive Officer and did not receive a new log in or password, please review the below.
This email will include a temporary password which needs to be used to log in to the RTO administration account for the first time.
Create a new password for future use.
If you are unable to locate the email, please enquiries [at] asqa.gov.au (email the ASQA Info Line).
If you are unable to locate the email from ASQA, this may be because your RTO had previously changed its CEO, or you had previously changed your email address, without updating your registered contact on training.gov.au.
If this is the case, please contact the Info Line on 1300 701 801.
Update—Are you an RTO staff member or consultant trying to use your old ASQAnet log in?
If you were a user of the former ASQAnet web portal, but you're not nominated as Chief Executive or Principal Executive Officer, you will need to register to use the new asqanet.
Contacting your CEO/PEO —or another nominated administrator for the new asqanet—to request approval of the agent access.
You will be able to use the new asqanet once your portal administrator has approved your agent access. Your access will be listed as 'pending' until the approval process is completed.
Some users are experiencing issues where changes made to their RTO's information in asqanet are not appearing on training.gov.au. Data validation rules are currently preventing the upload of about six per cent of RTOs' information into training.gov.au; including a number of new RTOs that as a result, currently have no data on display.
ASQA is aware that this issue is of great concern to providers and is seeking to resolve this issue with its vendor as soon as possible. ASQA has sought an urgent fix to this issue which is scheduled to be applied during the week of 24 - 28 October 2016.
All applications for CRICOS registration should now be submitted in asqanet, with the exception of applications to change course duration. The ability to change course duration for CRICOS providers is scheduled to be available in the Application to Change CRICOS Registration in asqanet from early-mid November 2016.
If you are applying to change the duration of a course before that time, please contact the ASQA Info Line. The Info Line will provide you with the relevant form.
