FIRTH – The Crete boys' track and field team took first in the Norris Track and Field invite Wednesday.
The meet was moved from Thursday to Wednesday due to impending weather. The Cardinals won narrowly with 111 team points. Norris was right behind with 110.5.
Crete's team has been on a role lately, recently taking second at the Fairbury Invite last Friday.
Beatrice finished in seventh out of eight teams with 27 points.
In the 100 meter dash, Andrew Mahoney of Beatrice came home second (11.03), but finished first in the 200 with a time of 21.98. That time is a new PR for the junior sprinter.
Moving onto the 400 meter dash, Crete's Carter Reckling won that (52.66).
In the 3200 meter run, Norris' Zach VanBrocklin came home first (10:20.83).
Moving onto high jump, Norris got another win there. Sophomore Matthew Medill cleared 6 feet-2 inches. Ending in triple jump, Norris' Skyler Schwaniger came home first with a leap of 43 feet-9 inches.
Crete finished third in the team standings with 72 points. Beatrice finished fourth with 65.5.
The Beatrice 4×100 meter relay team took second (52.87). The Orange claimed first in the 4×800 relay with a time of 10:51.34. That was at least 25 seconds faster than everyone else.
Onto shotput, Crete's Morgan Maly came in second with a throw of 37 feet-11.75 inches. That was a new PR for Maly, and just a half-inch away from tying for first.
It was a solid day throwing for Maly, as she came home first in discus with a throw of 137 feet-11 inches. This was also a new PR and was 2.5 feet farther than any other thrower.
In long jump, Crete's Izze Eltze came home second at 16 feet-0.75 inches.
Eltze also finished second in triple jump at 34 feet-5.5 inches. She came up just shy against Beatrice's Addison Barnard. Barnard took the gold in triple jump with a leap of 34 feet-10.75 inches.

This beautiful digitally reconstructed B/G provided by our Italian correspondent and friend Andrea Giglio. Happy Holidays!
Wow! Here's to hoping we see more of these!
Agree with Pumml!Which program was used?
it's the first time I'm writing something 'bout a work edited by me, but Mary Blair is my favourite Disney background artist and I think that in this work for Once Upon a Wintertime she gives her best. Animation follows backgrounds style in this episode and it set standards for Disneyland's "It's a Small World". Something like that was not so usual in Disney's Golden Era (only Eyvind Earle will be allowed to do that in a feature film, Sleeping Beauty, usually backgrounds had to... keep back). Great use of colours and shapes (she was able to give a warm look to a background defined by cold tonalities)!
Rob, this is such a FUN website! Love It! Love the Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty backgrounds especially. Speaking of Disney? There are a few films... I hope you get a chance to check out and do some more of "Hunchback" and "Little Mermaid". Stay warm and cozy!

More certainty in new project agreements: ScoMo
May 27, 2020 NewsVanessa Zhou	Vanessa Zhou
Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
The federal government has created industrial relations working groups that will initiate discussions regarding casual and fixed term employees, while also adding greenfields agreements to the agenda.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison is developing a JobMaker plan to prepare the country for economic growth following the COVID-19 crisis.
The five working groups for the JobMaker package include the areas of enterprise agreement making; casuals and fixed term employees; unions and employers' obligations; greenfield agreements for new enterprises; and award simplification for small and medium sized businesses in dealing with their employees.
"The working groups will either reach something approaching a consensus on issues or they won't. But we've got to give it a go," Morrison, speaking at the National Press Club, said.
Morrison said that certainty in greenfields agreements was needed more so than ever.
The government's move is welcomed by Australian Resources and Energy Group (AMMA), with chief executive Steve Knott stating that reforming greenfields agreements is especially important.
"… There is $100 billion worth of major projects advanced in Australia's investment pipeline. The international competition for this investment capital will be ever fiercer as governments around the world embark on their own stimulus packages," Knott said.
"At the end of the day, we are all about retaining, improving and creating employment," he added.
"In Australia's resources and energy sector, there is an unrelenting drive to retain highly-valued, highly-paid roles and improve existing pay and conditions."

IFR Alternate Requirements
Sergio Sovero
Federal regulation 14 CFR 91.169 is a key regulatory requirement pilots are mandated to follow during the planning stage of an IFR cross-country. Due to its complexity, it has become a commonly shared weak area for a number of students preparing for the Instrument Practical Test. Poor understanding, but mostly lack to attention to detail can potentially lead to a violation of FAR 91.169. In order to ensure compliance, the pilot is expected to carefully examine multiple sources in a logical sequence. Rushing can certainly result in overlooked items. With that in mind, what is intended here is to provide a more in-depth explanation of the aforementioned regulation, while clarifying any uncertainties you may have about it.
One question that should be asked during the planning process of an IFR cross-country is – Do I need an alternate today? 14 CFR 91.169 (b) (2) (i) states that an alternate airport is not required if "for at least 1 hour before and for 1 hour after the estimated time of arrival the ceiling will be at least 2000 feet above the airport elevation and the visibility will be at least 3 statute miles." To help remember those conditions of the rule, use "1-2-3 " as great memory aid. In addition, if the destination airport does not have a published IAP, an alternate must be filed regardless of the forecasted weather (14 CFR 91.169 (b) (1)).
Approved sources of weather forecasts for the purposes of alternate requirements are:
A. Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) is considered a primary source. According to the 2010 AC 00-45G "Aviation Weather Services," a TAF is a concise statement of the "expected meteorological conditions significant to aviation for a specific time period within five statute miles (SM) of the center of the airport's runway complex (terminal)." Consequently, referencing a TAF as a "forecast source" when the alternate field is more than 5 miles from the nearest TAF station would be invalid. This is when an Area Forecast must be used.
B. Area Forecast (FA) for use when the destination airport is not covered by a TAF.
In the process of selecting alternates, there are multiple sources to carefully examine before making the final decision. It is always recommended to be on the conservative side when questioning the legality of selecting a particular airport as an alternate. Organize your thoughts by first looking at published instrument approaches for the proposed alternate. If there aren't any, 14 CFR 91.169 (c) (2) outlines that you can still file that airport as long as the ceiling and visibility forecasted allow a descent from the MEA, approach, and land under basic VFR. If conditions do not warrant such a maneuver, you must think about "standard alternate minimums:"
If there is a precision instrument approach available at the alternate airport, the ceiling must be at least 600 feet and the visibility 2 statute miles that airport to qualify as a valid alternate (14 CFR 91.169 (c)(1) (i) (A).
If there are only non-precision approaches, the requirements are slightly higher: 800 feet and 2 statute miles of visibility (14 CFR 91.169 (c)(1) (i) (B).
Once again, those are standard alternate minimums. Most airports do not have standard minimums. The pilot shall refer to each of the published instrument approaches available at the alternate airport and look for specific non-standard minimums:
Alternate minimums not standard. Civil users refer to tabulation. USA/USN/USAF pilots refer to appropriate regulations.
At the same time, the pilot should look for an "NA" symbol on the top left corner of the notes section of the approach procedure. This symbol (NA: Not Authorized) essentially means that the pilot cannot use that specific approach for alternate purposes. A representation of the referred symbol is included below:
Alternate minimums are Not Authorized due to unmonitored facility or absence of weather reporting service.
Always remember, the forecasted weather is not the sole factor that comes into play when deciding the legality of the alternate. Specific aircraft manufacturer's specifications and limitations are elements to be considered as well. For example, the manufacturer might require the alternate airport to have approaches other than RNAV. Make sure to look in your aircraft AFM or POH for specifics. Also, remember to look for NOTAMs, not only at the destination, but also at the proposed alternate airport and ensure that the navigation aid linked to the instrument approach that will back up your alternate decision is fully operational (such as the localizer, glideslope, VOR, NDB, etc.). Failure to review NOTAMs before every flight would not only be in violation of 14 CFR 91.169 because of the aforementioned reason, but also of the Preflight Action requirements (14 CFR FAR 91.103).
To conclude, keep in mind that even if you are not legally required to file an alternate, you should, as a safe and prudent pilot, become familiar with possible alternates available. Always have a back-up plan. Meteorological conditions are subject to change and cannot be always accurately forecasted. Having a plan-B will enhance your situational awareness, decision-making skills and, ultimately lead to a successful outcome in the event that the flight cannot be completed as planned.

Kurt Lewin was a modern pioneer in social, organisational and applied psychology. He was also a physicist and explained organisational change using the analogy of a block of ice.
To convert a block of ice into a cone of ice you need to make it amenable to change (unfreeze). Then you pour the iced water into your new shape (change). Finally, you must solidify it (refreeze).
Proposed in the 1940s, Lewin's model was the first and most famous early analysis of how organisations deal with change.
This is about looking at the "way things are done around here" and challenging the status quo.
With new approaches comes new learning, and it is important that an open, two-way dialogue is sustained throughout.
Staff begin to feel confident and comfortable in this new world.
If you skip straight to the 'change' phase, the change will meet resistance.
A vital point is that all individuals likely to be affected by the change should be involved in planning for it. People don't resist what they create.
Too simple for our complex world?
But is Lewin's model unfit for our complex world of constant and rapid change? The implication of his Refreeze stage is that the new status quo will be around for a long period.
That's clearly not how the modern world works. It can be argued, however, that now more than ever Lewin's certainties are useful.
When people realise that something is going to change they have to cope with strong emotions such as denial, impatience and doubt. So in today's times of continual change, a Refreeze stage is actually essential to prevent them falling into limbo, a "transition trap" where they don't know what to do.

After all the drama of the Ryder Cup it's back to business with the bobble hats and billionaires at the Dunhill Links in Scotland this week. And of course the celebrities and businessmen who play with them!
Whenever I see Louis on the entry list to play some links golf I sit up and take notice. The 2010 Open Champion at St Andrews has had some good finishes here in the Autumn since with a T5 in 2011 and T6 in 2014 and loves seaside golf. Form wise Louis has been within touching distance of a victory on the PGA Tour of late with four consecutive top-20's and his putting stats are top drawer. Has to be on your betslip this week.
Lots of should've would've could've following the Ryder Cup but I would have liked to have seen Alex Noren on our team. Winner of the Scottish Open, finalist at the Paul Lawrie matchplay and winner again in Crans Montana the Swede has had a brilliant year. Hasn't played the Dunhill Links for a couple of years but was solo third here in 2012 and we know how much he loves links.
If I had to pick one rookie now for the 2018 European Ryder Cup then Bernd would be it. The big Austrian comes in off a solo fifth at the European Open last time out and a solo second before that at the KLM Open in Holland. Six of his last seven rounds have been in the sixties with a best of 63 in Round 1 in Germany. After a couple of years of acclimatizing to links Bernd has gone T12, T14, T4 in his last three Dunhill Links and is poised to strike this week.
We have tipped Tommy a couple of times recently and though he hasn't quite made the podium, he's been good value for money. The T10 at the KLM, T7 in Italy and T13 last time at the European Open have all had one thing in common, excellent greens in regulation stats. Tommy just needs some putts to drop. Loves this event and with three top fives from his last five visits including a T2 in 2014 behind Oliver Wilson. There's an extra incentive too; Fleetwood sits in the vital 60th spot in the Race to Dubai and will be looking to make the big money finals in November.
Robert is a European Tour legend in my eyes and it's great to see him playing good golf again. The big Swede is now on a cut streak of five events including a T7 at the Czech Masters and T3 at the European Open last time out. Regular readers know I always watch guys who blitz the par 3's, 4's and 5's and Karlsson did exactly that in Germany (-3, -4, -9) so you have been warned. Winner of this event in 2008 and T14 in 2014. Expect tears if he wins.
Came so close at St Andrews a couple of years ago at The Open but now has built up a bank of experience of Tour life which makes this return special and a little intriguing. With three top-20's in his last six starts Dunner now sits in 110th on the Race To Dubai with just four events to go before the Finals Series. All to play for.
Going to give Chris Paisley another shout in this slot this week even though he missed the cut in Germany last time out. T3 before that in Italy and I think he can score a good place here. T12 in 2013 here.
