Springfield, Mass. - December 30, 2017 - The Springfield College men's basketball team had four players score in double figures and raced past Thomas College, 74-53, in the Hampton Inn West Springfield/Naismith Classic in Blake Arena on Saturday evening.
Now in its 31st year of existence, this year's Naismith Classic also features Fitchburg State and Wesleyan University. Tonight's win snapped Springfield's five-game losing skid as the Pride evened its record to 5-5, while the setback dropped the Terriers to 5-4. Springfield will face the winner of the Fitchburg/Wesleyan contest for the championship, which will be played at 6:30 on Sunday.
Jake Ross (Northampton, Mass.) led all scorers with 24 points to go along with six boards for the Pride, while both Brandon Eckles (East Greenwich, R.I.) and Andy McNulty (West Springfield, Mass.) netted 14 points apiece. Cam Earle (South Hadley, Mass.) chipped in 10 points, Heath Post (Cheshire, Conn.) pulled down a game-high 12 boards, and Deonte Sandifer (Pittsfield, Mass.) was credited with seven rebounds and five assists. Springfield held a 43-34 edge on the glass, including a 17-6 advantage on the offensive boards, which resulted in 22 second-chance points.
Thomas was paced by an 18-point, seven-rebound effort from Carlos Gonzalez, while five other players scored at least four points.
Springfield jumped out to a 5-0 lead following jumpers from Eckles and McNulty in the opening two minutes of the game and an inside finish by Kevin Durkin (Worcester, Mass.) at the 13:02 mark gave the hosts a 14-8 cushion. Thomas would battle back to within 17-16 thanks to a putback by Lovegeurson Fleurine with 9:57 on the clock, but the Pride responded with a 7-0 push, capped off by a Ross finish in transition to regain a 24-16 advantage as Thomas called for a timeout at the 7:39 mark.
The Pride's would lead grow to 11 on a putback by Earle with 5:45 remaining and and the hosts would head into the break with a 35-27 cushion.
Five-straight points by Ross in the opening three-plus minutes of the second half allowed Springfield to gain a 42-29 lead and the Terriers burned a timeout with 15:44 on the clock facing a 46-31 deficit after McNulty converted a fast-break bucket. Earle stroked a deep triple to make it a 53-31 contest at the 12:36 mark, only to have Thomas answer with 11-straight points to battle within 53-42 with 9:14 left. The Pride responded right back with an 8-2 run, using another trifecta from Ross to push the lead back to 17, 61-44, with 7:09 left. The Terriers would get no closer than 13 and Springfield would lead by as many as 21 points twice down the stretch, with a bucket from Ben Diamond (New York, N.Y.) completing the game's scoring for the 74-53 final.
Wesleyan 79, Fitchburg State 62
The Wesleyan University men's basketball team shot nearly 50% from the floor and pulled away late from Fitchburg State for a 79-62 victory in the Hampton Inn West Springfield/Naismith Classic on Saturday night in Springfield College's Blake Arena.
Wesleyan, which entered the game ranked 12th in the latest D3hoops.com National Poll, remains unbeaten at 9-0, while Fitchburg State dropped to 3-7.
The Cardinals received a game-high 17 points and nine rebounds from Nathan Krill (St. Helena, Calif.), while Austin Hutcherson (Freehold, N.J.) tallied 14 points and eight boards and Antone Walker (Philadelphia, Pa.) chipped in 13 points off the bench. Wesleyan shot 23-for-47 (48.9%) and made the most of their free-throw attempts, connecting on 27-of-36 from the charity stripe, whil also holding a commanding 42-25 advantage on the glass.
For Fitchburg State, Joshua Bosworth (Springfield, Mass.) scored 14 points in his homecoming, while Nicholas Tracy (Indianapolis, Ind.) added 13 points, and Tyrell St. John (Stamford, Conn.) netted 11. The Falcons shot just 35% from the field (20-for-57) and was outscored in the paint, 32-20, but were able to convert 18 Wesleyan turnovers into 20 points.
Wesleyan wasted no time grabbing control of the game, surging out to a 7-0 lead just over four minutes into the contest. The Falcons responded with nine-straight points of their own, benefiting from a trio of triples, to earn a 9-7 cushion with 13:48 on the clock. Fitchburg State continued to dictate the pace of play and had its lead balloon to 27-16 at the 7:41 mark when Brandon Harris (San Bernardino, Calif.) cashed in on a triple. Over the next 4:29 of the game, Wesleyan poured on a 15-0 run to regain a 31-27 edge following a three-point play by Walker. The Cardinals would head into the back with a 34-32 edge, thanks to 11 first-half points by Walker.
Wesleyan scored the first five points of the second half to gain a 39-32 edge following an inside bucket from JR Bascom (Edina, Minn.), but a spinning finish by Bosworth at the 14:15 mark allowed the Falcons to pull within 41-37. The Cardinals were able to push their lead to eight on a pair of occasions, including at 49-41 after Jordan James (Vienna, Va.) hammered home a dunk with 11:36 on the clock, only to have a corner triple by St. John on the ensuing possession keep the Falcons within striking distance. Out of a timeout, Wesleyan scored six-straight points to expand their lead to 55-44 with less than 10 minutes to play. After the Cardinals used a pair of freebies from Sears to take a 12-point (66-54) point lead with 5:28 on the clock, the Falcons made one last push and scored seven-straight points, getting a three from the left wing by Tracy to draw within 66-61. However, Wesleyan answered right back with a triple of their own from Jordan Bonner (Houston, Texas.), which kickstarted a 7-0 run over the next 1:22 to take control of the game for good, as the Cardinals pulled away with the 79-62 win.

 Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt I am the LORD your God.
 But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
 Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths for their heart went after their idols.
 Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
 For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.
 For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
 For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.
 And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it it shall not be quenched.

2021 NHL Draft Prospect Profile: Kent Johnson, another center, another Wolverine
This scoring centerman is needed in Columbus
By The Dominator16 Jul 3, 2021, 6:41pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: 2021 NHL Draft Prospect Profile: Kent Johnson, another center, another Wolverine
South Bend Tribune-USA TODAY NETWORK
We are less than a month away from the 2021 NHL Entry Draft (July 23-24), so it's time to start researching the prospects likely to be selected in the first round. The Columbus Blue Jackets currently hold three picks in that round: #5, #24, and #30 or #31.
Position: Center
Team: University of Michigan
Date of Birth: October 18, 2002
Birthplace: North Vancouver, British Columbia
Ranked #10 by ELITEPROSPECTS.COM
Ranked #9 by FCHockey
Ranked #7 by Neutral Zone
Ranked #15 by McKeen's Hockey
Ranked #3 by NHL CENTRAL SCOUTING (NA Skaters)
Ranked #9 by CONSOLIDATED RANKING
Ranked #8 by TSN/McKenzie
League: BCHL with Trail Smoke Eaters "A"
Games Played: 52
Goals: 41
Assists: 60
PIM: 14
League: NCAA with University of Michigan
Goals: 9
PIM: 4
The Jackets need scorers, plain and simple. Kent Johnson lit up the BCHL with the most goals and assists and was voted MVP for the 2019-2020 season. His transition to the NCAA appeared seamless as he continued his prolific scoring: he was third in the nation for scoring, second on the U of M squad (which has many eligible players for this year's draft). He's fast, creative, but a little lower on the BMI calculator than ideal. That should improve with fancy NHL buffets, professional strength training programs and simply aging out of teenager years. He's a playmaker with a high hockey IQ and a unique ability to read the game. He's got an unpredictable repertoire of shots with a wicked backhand.
Kent Johnson! Ew! pic.twitter.com/nsjzVJ0J8u
— Michigan Hockey (@umichhockey) March 6, 2021
The Jackets are also in dire need of depth at center and playmaking positions, not just at the professional level but throughout the organization, especially after trading Pierre-Luc Dubois and the slower than anticipated development of Liam Foudy and Alexandre Texier. Re-stocking players projected as possible NHL-caliber centermen is a must through the draft.
A magician with his backhand and the vision to seek out his goal-scoring linemates, Johnson might have the plainest name of the draft but his game is polar opposite. — Thomas P. Williams, SBNation Hockey Wilderness
One thing you don't get with Kent Johnson is power. He's not an explosive skater, though he is fast, and he's not at all big or strong for his size. He has the height, which means he has a framework to build on, but he's definitely not ready to start pushing and shoving with NHL defensemen just yet. — Jenna Verrica, SBNation All About The Jersey,
He's an unreal puckhandler, a deceptive playmaker, and an adept goal-scorer. There's so much to like about his game…The question is whether Johnson has a strong enough two-way game to play centre at the NHL level or if he will end up as a complementary left winger instead. — Daniel Wagner, Vancouverisawesome.com

June is one of my favorite months. Warm but not too hot, hearing bird song, frog song and breezes in the leafed-out trees, witnessing the plants grow, the animals thrive and the fireflies flashing at night. The downside is the number of biting insects! Insects do speak to the health of the environment, though, and with the modern invention of window screening, we can escape them when needed.
So, even though there is a ton of work to do, I make sure to stop and appreciate living in this beautiful place.
This particular June, weather conditions weren't ideal for growing, being mostly cooler than usual and having little rain. On June 1 NH was drought-free, but as of June 26 all of Strafford county NH was classified as in a "moderate" drought. However, cool and dry is excellent working weather and we had lots to do!
June brings us the longest day of the year, which means there is plenty of light for working outside, early and late. I often feel this time of year like when I'm not planting or tending the plants I am losing out on future harvest. It makes it hard to remain calm for all the other parts of life needing attention! That's a good time to practice appreciation, as I mentioned above.
Millet and Japanese Buckwheat. Steve drove more stakes and ran wire so I could plant more climbing beans: Turkey Craw and Good Mother Stallard. I also seeded another area of Pinto beans. Mid-month I planted more root crops: Andover parsnip (it was actually a little late to start them), various carrots and beets. I had been late starting my basil indoors, so I gave that a good long time in the greenhouse before transplanting it on June 24. At that time, I also started my next round of bush beans.
I covered the eggplant and basil with row cover for a little extra heat retention since they love heat and it wasn't a consistently warm month.
Most of my crops are looking good so far. My earliest root crop plantings germinated poorly – maybe because of too low soil temps? It's very frustrating to carefully hand sow those tiny carrot seeds with poor results. Heat lovers like tomatoes and eggplant grew slowly without much heat. My brassicas, beans, potatoes, leeks and squash look gorgeous! No disease or insect problems to speak of so far this season, although I am starting to see white imported cabbageworm moths fluttering about!
With the drought, there was watering to do for all the newly planted crops. The rain barrels empty quickly in these conditions. The ponds last longer, especially the one fed from our overflowing wellhead. We mostly did spot watering rather than using automated systems. It takes time, but is the most efficient in terms of water use.
We also brought in materials (hay, wood chips, cardboard) to mulch with for moisture retention and soil health. In many places the mulch had gotten thin, being digested by the soil. That's great – we just need to remember to refresh it.
Speaking of feeding soil, Steve continues to experiment with diluted urine as fertilizer, especially on our alternate pasture areas. After the animals eat the vegetation down to the ground, we fence it off again and he fertilizes. He managed to overdo it in one area so we saw what "burning" the plants looks like. Other than that, it's going well as far as we can see and smell. The grass is truly greener. Steve is also preparing to launch a line of urine diverting "toilets" for sale soon!
I have done quite a bit of what I guess we can call weeding. Because of how much I mulch, my established and annual gardens have almost no weeds. Where we are expanding, though, there are plants to cut back, often resprouting from stumps. Also, in the orchards, I am trying to get particular plants established as the layers of mulch break down. The best ground covering is always plants. At this point, I still need to go through and pull what I don't want there (wild lettuce, thistle, pigweed, bindweed, crabgrass, brambles, excess mullein, chickweed and plantain) to make space for the spread of my chosen species (red clover, lupine, dandelion, calendula, echinacea, borage, cleome, globe thistle, angelica, valerian, nettles, and comfrey). At a certain point, even these need to be hacked back in order not to affect my food crops.
Everything that I take out, with scything, pruning or hand pulling, goes to the goats. It is very satisfying to watch them devour what otherwise seemed like waste. Well, it would have been composted or used for mulch, but still – it feels even better to turn it into milk!
Other miscellaneous work included tending grape vines, adding wires forpole beans, digging up and replanting some perennials, thinning the peaches, gathering manure and seaweed to create new growing areas.
The chicks that hatched last month from Steve's DIY incubator grew quickly in the brooder and were moved outside mid-June to a chicken tractor. They were especially excited to start roosting versus sleeping on the floor. They quickly learned to love eating plants and bugs, scratching on the ground, and dust bathing as well. Strangely, from what I can tell, we have 11 female and 1 male in this batch. We've never had such an unbalanced gender percentage – I have no idea what that might mean, if anything!
Our big excitement with goats this month was Lily's trip to the vet (video here: Lily Goes to the Vet). Every year we bring one of our goats to be tested for: CAE, CL, Johne's, selenium deficiency, TB and brucellosis. We have never had reason to think we have these, but they are serious issues and regular testing is important to keep up, especially if selling animals. In fact, we implore people not to bring home goats from untested herds or breed to an untested buck. Always ask for copies of paperwork first!
rarely lost animals, but some years groundhog and deer have wreaked havoc on our poor plants. This year I can really only complain about the chipmunks. What destructive little beasts they can be! We are indebted to our huntress, Tabitha the cat, for keeping all our rodents in check to some extent at least.
My two hives are doing fine, but aren't impressing me. Both have cranky personalities and aren't growing very quickly. I plan to replace these queens with northern stock in July.
Unfortunately, our second round of egg incubation was unsuccessful. We'd set both chicken and duck eggs. Just one of each hatched, and neither lived beyond a few days. It was disappointing and sad. Steve is investigating and reading and thinks that the temps got too high this time around. He has some new designs to try next year, and we also plan to buy another incubator. The commercially made ones do work, they just break down much faster than we approve of.
breeds of poultry, so I searched not-quite-frantically online. We found nice folks in Pelham NH with four black Indian Runner ducklings, old enough to move right outside rather than deal with brooding them in my tub (video here: New Indian Runner Ducklings – June 2018). Now we just have to hope there is a male in the batch. It will be a few months before we can tell gender. Then I tracked down a woman breeding Dominique chickens only a few towns over from me at Just A Notion Exhibition Poultry. In fact, she shows at the Deerfield Fair and we bought our last rooster from her, without ever meeting. She'll be a great resource for information and help as well as new stock. Phew!
On June 2 we held our first Open Homestead Day. We had some big goals for organizing ahead of time that we mostly met. We so enjoyed showing people around and reflecting on our decade here and future plans. It was especially gratifying to have some friends come who hadn't been here for awhile and could remind us of how much had changed. It's hard to notice progress happening over years without such a reality check.
Since most people don't live by an agricultural calendar at the moment, plenty of activities continue as summer arrives (not schools or the NH Legislature, which still follow a farming schedule!). I did spend time off-farm even though I limited my commitments. I was glad to make it to a few NH Peace Action events, our True Tales Live storytelling workshop and performance, and even to the SoBo Story Slam at The Sarah Orne Jewett House in Maine. I told my Bee Moving story there, and met another serious organic gardener, Mort Mather, whose book, Gardening for Independence, I am now greatly enjoying.
We also went strawberry picking at East Wind Farm since we don't grow enough here for our appetites. They have amazing organic berries. I've put 5 gallon bags into the freezer, which I'll process into preserves and jelly when the cooler weather arrives this fall.
We brought in 155 chicken eggs, 70 duck eggs, and 11.1 gallons of milk.
From the garden we brought in: 5 heads of lettuce, 7 pounds of rhubarb, 95 garlic scapes, 10 radishes, 1 pound of kale & collard leaves. Plus, "handfuls" of: oregano, garlic chives, chives, sorrel, mint, peas, honeyberries, strawberries, red currants and blueberries.
From previous years, the garlic ran out this month – just in time to start eating the garlic scapes. Still remaining: honey, canned peaches, blueberries and strawberry jelly, dried kale and beans, frozen eggplant, pesto, and salsa.
We grew fodder for the animals as well, many kinds, some tossed to them and some we let them pick themselves by using portable electric fencing.
We made 550 kwh from the PV solar panels. You'll notice this is less than the past couple of months because, despite even more sun, the trees leafing out reduced how much sun reached the panels. It is still more than we used, so our "carry forward" account with the power company is growing.
I am also moved to put in the harvest column: beauty and rewarding work!
There is plenty on my to-do list coming up. Here's a sampling: hill potatoes, train beans and grapes, more sheet mulching, trim overgrowing trees, repair shed, cut problem weeds before they go to seed, successive plantings of root crops and beans, and learning to make frozen yogurt or ice cream/milk. And, soon, harvesting and food preservation will take much of my time, I hope! I can already see peas, beans and more berries forming.
July's weather forecast is predicting seasonably hot and humid conditions coming up, which will slow down the heavier work. Thus, there will be some time to catch up on email, reading, and writing.

Reality Check: Minnesota And The Climate Change Crisis
By Pat Kessler September 4, 2019 at 10:00 pm
Filed Under:Global Warming, Local TV, Midwest, Pat Kessler, Reality Check
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Hurricane Dorian is bearing down on the East Coast Wednesday night, after leaving behind massive destruction in the Bahamas.
The National Climate Assessment, or NCA4, was released last year and predicted the kind of historic devastation we're seeing now.
READ MORE: What's The Difference Between Climate And Weather?
Scientists say human-caused climate change did not create Hurricane Dorian, but there is evidence climate change made it worse.
In fact, the NCA4 found a 40-year increase in the "intensity, frequency, and duration of North Atlantic hurricanes," and that is ,"projected to increase as the climate continues to warm."
But it's not just about East Coast hurricanes. The NCA4 is a sobering look at what could happen all across the United States if there is no action to mitigate climate change, including dire warnings about the Midwest and Minnesota.
Temperatures will rise more in the Midwest than anywhere else. Minnesota's frost-free season could soon increase by 10 days, 20 days by mid-century, and possibly 30 days in 50 years.
Here's how that looks:

By 2036, heavier rainfall, extreme heat and disease could cut farm production to 1980s levels.
Forest Threat
Minnesota's traditional forest line will shrink. Paper birch and black ash trees could disappear.
Infrastructure Repair
Cities face costly repairs from extreme rainfall and more flooding.
Fish Risk
Higher temperatures will put coldwater fish at risk.
Health Danger
The report predicts "substantial" loss of human life every year from poor air quality and "extreme high temperature events." Urban heat islands like the Twin Cities will see more 100-degree days. And by mid-century in northern Minnesota, temperature swings could bring blocks of extreme average summer highs — of 95 degrees.

As pre-season continues for Town's Under-17s, Academy Manager Leigh Bromby was keen to provide them with new tests and challenges to prepare for the 2018/19 campaign.
The youngsters, who came together for the first time at the start of the month, have been working on a number of different things during pre-season, alongside working with the Club's Academy coaches to learn the basic fundamentals of the Terriers Identity.
The Young Terriers played non-league side AFC Emley in their third game of pre-season on Friday 27 July, a match that gave them a number of new challenges, something that Leigh Bromby believes will enhance their development.
"Playing against men was a test for them and playing in front of a crowd was something new for them as well.
"In the first half we saw that it took the lads a while to settle in to that, whereas in the second half they were used to it a lot more; it's things like that they need to experience and go through.
"We made a couple of mistakes playing out from the back, trying to get used to how we want to play, which gave them two goals and the other was from a set piece, which was expected because it was 16 year-olds against a men's team.
It's the mistakes that Town's Academy Manager mentioned above that will help the youngsters progress, learning when they can play out from the back for example.
"We were playing on a pitch that was very different from the surfaces that they train on or play on, so they learnt how to manage the game. These are the things that they have to go through, making mistakes so they can learn.
Another test for the youngsters was trying a 3-4-1-2 formation, which has been used to the First Team before.
Leigh Bromby explained that it was something that caused the youngsters some issues and that they will have to work on it in the future.
"We tried playing a three at the back for their experience, like the First Team have done, sticking with the same style of playing out from the back but it didn't work for us; it's something we have to look at.
"We will continue to look at testing them with this formation because the First Team use it at times and the young lads will need to know how to play in those positions.
In the second half – using the main First Team formation – Town's Under-17s scored a superb goal that showed a genuine understanding of the Terriers Identity.
"Our second goal is exactly what we've been working on and the way we play – I mean you would've seen a similar goal for the First Team, in terms of how we played out and worked through the thirds," explained Bromby.

Best Dress Watches for Men
Every well-dressed man needs a dapper dress watch to wear for formal occasions, like a wedding, black-tie business affair, or even a family funeral. There are plenty of options out there to choose from, but not all are equal in quality and craftsmanship. To help narrow your search, we've assembled a list of the best dress watches for men, from Rolex to Cartier and everything in between!
1. Rolex Cellini
The Cellini is quite a departure from the large, sturdy tool watches that Rolex is best known for. Instead, this dress watch has been dubbed the Tuxedo watch for its classic, sophisticated style that pairs flawlessly with a suit and tie. Crafted exclusively from 18k gold and fitted with a stitched alligator leather strap, the Cellini is the epitome of elegance and refinement. If you're searching for a timepiece that demonstrates the rich, storied tradition of watchmaking, then the Rolex Cellini is the perfect dress watch for you.
2. Cartier Tank
The Cartier Tank is one of the most iconic dress watches of all time, recently celebrating its 100th anniversary. Inspired by the French Renault tanks used in WWI, the Cartier Tank offers the ideal balance of style and simplicity. Some unique features of this watch include a distinctive rectangular case and classic Roman numeral dial. Though Cartier has reinterpreted the Tank for various re-releases, they've remained devoted to Louis Cartier's original conception which earned the brand a loyal following of noteworthy figures. Legends like Andy Warhol, Frank Sinatra, and Princess Diana all famously sported Cartier Tanks in their time.
3. Omega De Ville
Omega is best known for their famed Seamaster and Speedmaster collections, but it's the Omega De Ville that takes the cake as the manufacturer's finest dress watch. The timepiece was once a part of a line of dress watches belonging to the Seamaster series, but was later launched as its own signature line. Like most Omega watches, the De Ville collection boasts a series of sub-collections including the Ladymatic, Hour Vision, Trésor, Prestige, and Tourbillon watches. Though each model offers something different, the Omega De Ville has a distinct, streamlined design that looks polished and pristine on the wrist, no matter what you're wearing.
4. IWC Portofino
Modeled after the minimalistic style of a pocket watch, the IWC Portofino sets the standard for best dress watches. The Portofino is perfectly understated, so whether you prefer a laid back look, or something more elegant, this watch offers the best of both worlds. The watch's dial is clean and uncluttered, with easy-to-read hour markers and thin hands for optimal timekeeping. Choose a lavish leather strap for black-tie occasions, or opt for a stainless steel mesh bracelet to give this classic timepiece a more modern, casual feel.
5. Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso
Impress any watch enthusiast by sporting a Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso, a cult classic in the world of luxury dress watches. The unique, rectangular design of the Reverso is unmistakable and sure to spark a few conversations. Since its unveiling in 1931, the Reverso has remained largely unchanged, a testament to the watch's icon status. Paired with your best sports coat, this watch is as sleek and stylish as they come.
6. Patek Philippe Calatrava
The Calatrava is the quintessential round dress watch, produced by one of the most sought after watch brands in the world. Inspired by the Bauhaus art movement of 20th century Germany, the Calatrava features little ornamentation, and emphasizes harmony between function and form. But, don't let the modest design fool you, this watch is as luxurious as anything you'd expect from Patek Philippe. Each watch is meticulously crafted by hand, evidence of the brand's longstanding commitment to superb craftsmanship.
7. Vacheron Constantin Patrimony
Manufactured by one of the oldest watchmakers in the world, the Patrimony is a nod to times past, an embodiment of tradition and heritage. Though its origins are rooted in horological history, this watch is far from old-fashioned. The watch's case is slender, the dial clean and simple, with hands that taper into a sharp, distinct point. What the Patrimony lacks in frills and complications, it makes up for in style. If you're a sharply dressed dude who prefers pieces that are subtly stylish over something bold and ostentatious, look no further than the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony.

Jordan Oldbury was born in a sleepy town near Birmingham in the United Kingdom. His parents separated before he turned 10 and he spent his childhood living between his parents and grandparents, being naughty, thinking about adventures, and failing school.
He attended Newman University in 208 and developed a passion for writing. He already had a passion for money, so it didn't take long for him to try combining the two, allowing him to get rich doing what he loved.
He failed. A few publications bought articles, a few businesses paid for his content, but he couldn't sustain his ambitious lifestyle, so he sold out.
In 2011 Jordan moved to Perth, Australia where he continued to write, but also worked in Human Resources. He did this successfully for a number of years and looks back on those years fondly, remembering the steak dinners, the beers and holidays and robot vacuum cleaners. Ah, the good life.
Now, after years of working for the man, Jordan recently published his first full-length novel, The Universal Guide to Human Racing. Inspired by Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, and money, he wrote The Universal Guide to Human Racing as a way to observe and comment on modern society and the ever-changing nature of politics and religion.
The Universal Guide to Human Racing follows PR Manager Tim Bloom, who runs an election campaign for God, with the fate of the world at stake. It's a humorous fantasy story that observes and critiques, with love, politics, religion, and humanity.

I think I will have a latte….
"I know this coffee shop is really there because God is not a deceiver." So reports Alison Bailey, who took this shot. She does not, however, reveal where the coffee shop is located, leaving us to wonder whether it might not be in her mind, which, after all, is of the essence….
Sun rose today. Matter of tomorrow still in some doubt.


Just got back into the game after 2 and a half years, took me a few days to get used to it, wanted to know if this base layout is still alright or whether it needs improvements, changes, turret swaps etc. lemme know what y'all think, thanks.

I think you should focus on getting your storages, turrets and HQ all clustered together under the shields. Also put your Squad Centre under the shields.
Having your SC exposed (not under shields) is not a good idea. It makes it way too easy to take out with starships.
Don't know if you stil are following the replies, but first thing is what you want to do? Win defenses in PvP or win defenses in Heroic Defense (HD)? With your current layout will be tough win on both.
Second, change your layout to top north, just inverting it: the transports go to the bottom corners, and your base to the top north, in the classic "top north layout for HD".
Notice that SC must be protected, under 3 shields if possible, and cover all perimeter to prevent troops coming from any side. 2 extra turrets at each side at north improve the defense, and turrets in line protected by walls will ensure you earn HDs. Move these 4 turrets in the north to reinforce the turret line at south if you are not strong enough to win the Bronzium crate in HDs.
And more important of all: fill your SC with Prestige bikes if you don't have Jump skins for PvP. When you have jumps skin, request Jumps for your SC.
Maximize your turrets, walls and shields to improve your defenses, collect Armory frags for turrets and try to unlock some Guard Reserve also. You don't need to build/upgrade traps -- I don't have any trap in any of my HQ 6.
This layout works great for HDs, PvP and Wars. I use them in my HQ 6 as Imperial and Rebel. Good luck!
bhavishya7 (Topic OP) - Keep in mind the posted Screenshots are for a Rebel Base but the "Pattern" should work fine for a Imperial Base.
mkenobi - I may have missed it but you did not describe "what changed" between PvP and HD in your posted Screenshots.
"Notice that SC must be protected, under 3 shields if possible, and cover all perimeter to prevent troops coming from any side. 2 extra turrets at each side at north improve the defense, and turrets in line protected by walls will ensure you earn HDs.

How Liquid Viscosity Works
Mixer Direct Mar 15, 2018 12:00:00 AM
Viscosity is essentially a numerical value that can explain a fluid's resistance to flow. It's sort of like how much friction liquid can have. A basic method to looking for an everyday example of viscosity would be to simply observe the thickness of liquid. Study the difference between the thickness of honey and water. Water would pour much more quickly through a sieve than honey would. The reason is because honey has a higher viscosity (or thickness) than water. It sounds complicated, but it's actually easy to break down and understand because it's everywhere in our daily lives.
It will help to understand viscosity by remembering some basics about how particles behave from high school science class. When particles have more energy (or more heat), they can move around each other more easily. Thus, the liquid flows quickly, which is why heating up syrup that's been in the refrigerator for a while makes it come more readily out of the bottle; the heat lessens the viscosity.
Alternatively, when liquids are cooled, their particles move more slowly because they have less energy. That can increase a liquid's viscosity, making it more sluggish and difficult to manipulate. In colder temperatures, the particles settle in closer together; there's less space between the particles, and that means it's harder for them to move around. Particles that resist movement and have a lower flow rate (which is simply how fast the liquid runs) have a higher viscosity.
Another factor that can affect viscosity is that particles can have different shapes, and bigger particles have a harder time moving around each other than little ones. The particles in molasses are a bit larger than the more compact particles of water, so molasses has a harder time flowing. These abnormally-shaped particles can also cause more internal friction. More friction reduces the flow rate, but less friction increases the flow rate. Think of a child sliding around the floor in socks. There's less friction on hardwood floors, which increases the rate and speed of the child. Carpet creates more friction, which drastically reduces the speed of the child. Abnormally-shaped particles can be like socks on carpet.
Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluids
Understanding the role of temperature and friction in fluids is important, but it gets more complicated with non-Newtonian fluids. There are two types of fluids: Newtonian fluids and non-Newtonian fluids. Newtonian fluids are simple; they have a viscosity that stays consistent despite the amount of shear stress applied to it. Shear stress in fluids is the pressure created from layers of fluid moving against the other layers of fluid, like planes of fluid moving against and alongside each other. The viscosity of Newtonian fluids can only be influenced by temperature. Oil, for example, has a higher viscosity at lower temperatures, which is why it can be hard to start a car after it snows. In the summer, the car starts easily. Oil is a Newtonian fluid because its viscosity will not change from any other kind of manipulation (if stirred, it won't become thicker or thinner).
Non-Newtonian fluids can be a little trickier. They have a viscosity that will fluctuate with the amount of shear stress applied to them. Some fluids will have a decrease in viscosity when shear stress is applied. When painting, over time the paint can thicken, and occasionally it's necessary to stir the paint in order to make it thinner and easier to manipulate. That's because applying shear stress lessens its viscosity. Conversely, when making a soup that utilizes cornstarch as a thickening agent, it has to be stirred in order to thicken. Adding the shear stress increases viscosity.
Fluids can behave in a variety of ways, which is why it's crucial for anyone working with any kind of liquid-based material to understand its implications. Every industry has a need for appreciating and implementing methods of utilizing and controlling viscosity.
Viscosity and The Food Industry
Consider the food industry. A liquid's viscosity matters when determining the packaging of products. For example, when filling a container with a liquid, the method of pouring would be determined by its viscosity. The technique for pouring salad dressing into salad dressing bottles would be determined by viscosity- creamier dressings would require having more force behind them to encourage efficiency, as opposed to vinaigrettes, which have a lower viscosity, and would pour more readily. If a product has a really low viscosity, then it may also be helpful to have a flow regulator on the bottle; those vinaigrette bottles frequently come with a flow regulator on the top to prevent too much liquid being dispersed, while ketchup bottles frequently come in plastic containers with lids designed to help you squeeze the bottle and dispense the ketchup. Ketchup also needs to be made at the correct level of viscosity; watery ketchup sounds pretty unappetizing. Viscosity has to be taken into account at every level of design, production and distribution with any type of liquid product.
Viscosity and Construction Materials
Of course, that's just within the food industry, but viscosity matters when it comes to any kind of liquid being dispersed, which is almost every field imaginable. Concrete needs to be in a properly maintained liquid state (construction). If paint is too thin, it runs and blends together, which is good for watercolor paintings, but bad for painting the wall of a room (arts, home décor, even airplanes are painted). Adhesives have to be at specific viscosities because the type of glue needed, whether thin and able to spread out or thick and able to remain exactly where placed, depend on the type of project (carpentry, crafting, etc.).
Viscosity and Cosmetics
Lip liner, liquid eyeliner, shampoos, and conditioners all have to be easily dispersed and achieve the desired effect (cosmetics). Medicinal creams that are designed to be rubbed on a rash need to be somewhat thick to ensure complete application; medicines that need to be swallowed necessitate a lower viscosity so they're ingested more easily. Every industry has to care about viscosity to some degree. All of these products, whether integral to society or seemingly insignificant, come from the importance of understanding viscosity and creating the most efficient and convenient means possible of producing and dispersing these ingenuities.

What not to say to a senior adult
June 15, 2017 /in BRS, Senior Living, Caregiver & Family Resources /by BRS
Senior adults are, at the core, adults.
They are real people with real stories, real emotions and real life experiences.
And yet, with the day-to-day humdrum of life, it can sometimes be easy to overlook the things we love most about these older adults while getting frustrated with the changes aging brings.
In the midst of these changes, there are certain things to not say, things we may not even realize we're saying.
In this article by Next Avenue, a leading journalistic resource for senior adults and their families, author Linda Bernstein expertly lists eight things to never say to a senior adult.
As a faith-based not-for-profit senior living provider, we developed our own list of things to never tell a senior adult:
"Sweetie."
"Sweetie," "sugar" or any variation of the two carry an inherent childlike tone. But senior adults are not children. They are grown adults with stories, histories and achievements. They've lived more life than some of their caregivers have combined, and therefore deserve the love and respect of an adult.
Instead of Sweetie, say "Mrs. Smith." You can still provide tender affection with a soft touch or a gentle hug, but using a person's name promotes dignity and respect.
"Don't you remember?"
While some senior adults living with memory impairment don't recognize their changing brains, others do. They feel genuine frustration with the growing lack of control they have over their own bodies. Asking why they can't remember only adds to the frustration and places the blame on the senior rather than on the Alzheimer's or dementia itself.
Instead of asking questions, it may be helpful to simply listen. Then, provide your own comments. For example, instead of asking "Don't you remember, we talked about this yesterday!" say simply, "Yes, we are going out to eat tonight. Would you like to join us?"
"You need to _________."
Senior adults have spent their lives giving and serving. They don't need to be told what to do.
Instead of giving directions, give choices. Say "Mom, would you like to wear your sweater, or would you like to go without one?" Choices empower the senior adult to make the decisions for themselves. It puts them back in control, even as things around them feel out of control.
At the end of the day, a person is still a person. Recognizing that first and foremost will help further interactions with older adults to be fruitful and honoring to both parties. It helps minimize stress and maximize engagement.

Earmarked for a launch in the northern summer of 2020, Japan has officially announced the establishment of its first medium to long-haul low cost carrier.
Called ZIPAIR Tokyo, the new airline is a subsidiary of flag carrier Japan Airlines and aims to create a travel experience that "encompasses the originality and ingenuity of the Japanese culture".
In a statement, JAL said the name borrows from the idea of travelling to destinations in various ZIP CODES, while utilizing the word ZIP for speed.
ZIPAIR Tokyo's logo was also unveiled at the announcement at JAL's Tokyo headquarters, and features a gray and green motif to be used in all of its corporate branding.
If it's anything like its parent company, ZIPAIR Tokyo should be airline to watch out for – especially given the ever-growing popularity of Japan among Australian travellers.

Witzenhausen is a small town in the Werra-Meißner-Kreis in northeastern Hesse, Germany.

It was granted town rights in 1225, and until 1974, it was a district seat.

The University of Kassel maintains a satellite campus in Witzenhausen at which is offered the ecological agricultural sciences programme, which is unique in the country. This also puts Witzenhausen among Germany's smallest university towns. Furthermore, a teaching institute (DEULA) for environment and technology, agriculture, horticulture and landscaping. The town is also nationally known for the invention of the Biotonne – a biological refuse container – in 1983, and as an important cherry-growing area; it is said to be Europe's biggest self-contained cherry-growing area. Cherries are traditional in Witzenhausen, which has led to the yearly Kesperkirmes, or "Cherry Fair" (Kesper is a regional name for the cherry; the standard German word is Kirsche), at which a Cherry Queen (Kirschenkönigin) is chosen.

Geography

Location
Witzenhausen lies on the northeast slope of the Kaufunger Wald, which is surrounded by the Meißner-Kaufunger Wald Nature Park. The town is found at the mouth of the Gelster, where it empties into the Werra some 30 km east of Kassel, 16 km east-southeast of Hann. Münden, 25 km south of Göttingen and 23 km northwest of Eschwege.

Neighbouring communities
Witzenhausen borders in the north on the town of Hann. Münden, the communities of Rosdorf and Friedland (all three in Lower Saxony's Göttingen district), in the east on the communities of Neu-Eichenberg (in the Werra-Meißner-Kreis), Bornhagen and Lindewerra (both in Thuringia's Eichsfeld district), in the south on the towns of Bad Sooden-Allendorf and Großalmerode and the unincorporated area of Gutsbezirk Kaufunger Wald (all three in the Werra-Meißner-Kreis) and in the west on the community of Staufenberg in Lower Saxony's Göttingen district.

Constituent communities
Witzenhausen's 16 Stadtteile, besides the main town, also called Witzenhausen, are, on the Werra's left bank:
Blickershausen (293 inhabitants),
Dohrenbach (657 inhabitants),
Ellingerode (344 inhabitants),
Ermschwerd (1189 inhabitants),
Hubenrode (191 inhabitants),
Hundelshausen (1365 inhabitants),
Kleinalmerode (925 inhabitants),
Roßbach (825 inhabitants),
Wendershausen (831 inhabitants)
Ziegenhagen (716 inhabitants),

On the river's right bank:
Albshausen (69 inhabitants),
Berlepsch-Ellerode-Hübenthal (132 inhabitants),
Gertenbach (947 inhabitants),
Neuseesen (97 inhabitants),
Unterrieden (914 inhabitants)
Werleshausen (503 inhabitants).

History

In 1898, the Deutsche Kolonialschule für Landwirtschaft, Handel und Gewerbe ("German Colonial School for Agriculture, Trade and Industry", also called the Tropenschule, or "Tropical School") was founded to train people in agriculture for resettlement in Germany's colonies. The successor institution forms today a satellite campus of the University of Kassel, and includes a greenhouse complex dedicated to tropical crops (the Gewächshaus für tropische Nutzpflanzen).

Economy and infrastructure
Witzenhausen suffers – like the whole Werra-Meißner-Kreis and a great part of North Hesse – from extremely high unemployment and its attendant loss of younger people to migration.

In Witzenhausen-Unterrieden, the last producer of chewing tobacco in Germany is still in business. An important employer in Witzenhausen is, with 430 employees all together, the corporation Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget (SCA). In Witzenhausen the SCA produces raw paper for corrugated cardboard for manufacturing packagings (SCA Packaging Containerboard) and hygiene products such as toilet paper (SCA Hygiene Products). Another important employer is the district and town hospital in Witzenhausen.

Witzenhausen is domicile of Gesellschaft zur Erhaltung alter und gefährdeter Haustierrassen (GEH, the society for the conservation of old and endangered livestock breeds).

Transport

Over Bundesstraßen 27 (Göttingen–Eschwege), 80 (Hann. Münden–Heiligenstadt) and 451 (Helsa–Witzenhausen), the town is linked to the greater road network. In Hedemünden, some 10 km away, is an interchange on the Autobahn A 7 (Flensburg–Füssen). Near Friedland is an interchange on the A 38 towards Halle. Moreover, Witzenhausen is on the two tourist routes: the German Timber-Frame Road (Deutsche Fachwerkstraße) and the German Fairy Tale Route (Deutsche Märchenstraße).

Witzenhausen has a railway station, Witzenhausen Nord, on the Eichenberg–Kassel section of the Halle-Kassel Railway. It is located above the town on the north slope of the Werra valley and is served by trains to Kassel, Göttingen, Erfurt and Halle. The former Witzenhausen Süd station stood southeast of the inner town and has been closed, like the whole of the Gelster Valley Railway between Eichenberg and –Großalmerode.

The outlying centre of Gertenbach has a further stop on the Halle-Kassel railway

Town partnerships
Witzenhausen is twinned with:
 Saint-Vallier, France, since 1975
 Vignola, Italy, since 1995
 Filton, United Kingdom, since 1978
 Kayunga, Uganda, since 2001

Since 1979, Filton, St. Vallier and Witzenhausen have had a three-way partnership.

Between Witzenhausen and Filton, and between Witzenhausen and St. Vallier, there are regular student exchanges with the local comprehensive school. The partnership between Witzenhausen and St. Vallier came about by accident. St. Vallier's mayor's last name at the time was Witzenhausen, and when, on a visit to Germany, he spotted this name on a road sign, he drove to the town. Out of his visit sprang the partnership, which has lasted to this day.

Furthermore, there have been school exchanges between Witzenhausen and these two places since 2002:
 100 Mile House, Canada (between the comprehensive school and the secondary school there)
 Turlock, USA (between the vocational Gymnasium and Turlock High School)

There are a variety of different work fields that anyone could get into. With so many potential options to choose from, it can be hard to know which path to follow. Those who are good with their hands and have an interest in doing new things each day may want to consider becoming a certified electrician. Many electricians would agree that there are several pros to getting into this line of work.
When it comes down to earning a living, there are many grey areas of business. Some areas are less than honest while others remain borderline. Getting started as an electrician, however, is incredibly respectful. Of course, shady people with lacking values can find their way into any type of career field; however, it's a straightforward line of work in which you are guaranteed to be able to provide a good service and earn an honest dollar.
Many jobs do not require any type of specialized career training. This being the case, those who work in these types of fields are easily replaced. The unknown about what life may bring can be difficult for many to deal with. Certified electricians, on the other hand, cannot be replaced by simply anyone. Their field requires specific, specialized electrical training, which means that there is a certain degree of job security. This is undoubtedly a desirable feature for anyone.
Some careers are more than ambiguous. Thanks to the many different ins and outs of various positions, it can be hard to know exactly what is your responsibility and what is not. Many people function best by having clear outlines of what is expected of them. The wonderful thing about being in electrical work is that it is quite straightforward on this front. It is undoubtedly very clear what you would be responsible for and what is expected out of you. This can bring peace of mind and a sense of calm to every workday.
Just as doctors and dentists are able to lend their skills to the unfortunate who could not otherwise afford such important services, an electrician also has the noble opportunity to help those in need as well. Victims of natural disasters and groups that specialize in helping refugees to have a safe haven are always in need of volunteer electrical work. It's a service that can only be done by those who know how to do it and it is appreciated greatly since all have come to rely upon electricity so much in this society.
There are undoubtedly great pros to being in a line of work in which the accompanying knowledge and expertise can benefit you and your friends and family. Everyone deals with electricity on a daily basis. It is inevitable for any homeowner to run into electrical problems from time to time. Many housewives would give anything to have a husband capable of fixing electrical issues quickly and inexpensively. Indeed, those are just a few of the many perks of becoming an electrician.

20,000 Runners Conquer Sepang at THE Music Run™ by AIA Vitality
The world-renowned Sepang International Circuit rocked to a different beat today as 20,000 Music Runners™ ran and danced through a 5km route – called 'The Sound Track' – pulsating with music of various genres. The Music Run™ by AIA Vitality, the ultimate 5k running and music festival, brought the fun back to Kuala Lumpur for the third year running after its takeover in Taipei in September.
The Music Run™ is a non-competitive fun run, split into five 1km Music Zones – Rock, Pop, Old School, Hip Hop and Dance. Kuala Lumpur played host to the inaugural The Music Run™ in 2014. The event has since been experienced by more than 100,000 participants across 12 events and nine countries from Singapore to Hamburg, making it amongst the fastest growing fun run events in the world.
The event kicked off at 3.30pm and ended with a Music Festival, complete with entertainment and fun activities at the Music Village. Presenting Sponsor AIA Bhd. has been instrumental in the growth of The Music Run™ since its Malaysian debut in 2014, helping to bring the phenomenon to other parts of Asia, including major cities like Bangkok, Singapore, Manila and Shanghai.
Chris Cable, Senior Vice President of Exceed Sports and Entertainment, organiser of the event said, "The Music Run™ by AIA Vitality represents a new generation of fun run events, where participants can actively shape and share in the experience they have at the event. The Music Run™ may be a global event, but Music Runners™ in Malaysia have truly made this the biggest and best event we have ever had. We are glad to have the support of AIA Vitality in bringing the beat back, and together we hope to inspire more Malaysians to lead a healthy lifestyle."
Anusha Thavarajah, Chief Executive Officer of AIA Bhd. said, "We are thrilled to be playing host to The Music Run™ in Kuala Lumpur for the third year – this time under the banner of AIA Vitality, Malaysia's first science-backed health and insurance programme."
"The KL event has broken its own record by attracting 20,000 Music Runners. As Malaysia's leading insurer, one that is committed to helping Malaysians live longer, healthier and better lives, we are encouraged to see even more people joining in the fun this year and embracing what it means to be healthier," Anusha added.
The event started on a high-note at the Music Village with a pre-party featuring Malaysian pop-sensation girl group De Fam. The trio, who first exploded into the Malaysian music scene in 2015 with their popular single #Supergirls, enthralled the crowd with their performance of signature tunes including the recent chart-topping hit With You. Pre-race energy levels were further pumped with a Zumba warm up, the much-loved music and dance infused workout.
Music Runners™ ran the track that was lined with over 120 speakers, delivering hit songs across the five music-themed zones. In partnership with Spotify, The Music Run™ by AIA Vitality empowers participants to control the soundtrack of the run by voting for their favourite songs in the build-up to the event. Voting was done online via a Spotify 'Music Voting App' and songs with the most votes made the official run playlist. Each Music Zone has its own unique playlist entirely selected by the runners.
The different Music Zones also delighted Music Runners™ with entertaining activities. At the Rock Zone, runners channelled their inner rock star posing with Harley Davidson bikes. In the Petron Pop Zone, Music Runners™ struck poses with fun photo cut outs of petrol pumps, Pokeballs and Pokestops. In the AirAsia Old School Zone, Music Runners™ splashed around the water fight area and experienced selfie and wefie moments with cut-outs of pop stars and old school bands. Runners also got an opportunity to unleash their creativity on the Graffiti Wall in the Hip Hop Zone, while in the Dance Zone, seven larger-than-life Foam Cannons blasted out foam bubbles turning the zone into a roaring foam party!
Music Runners™ also got to try their hand at a slew of fun activities at the Music Village. The AIA Vitality Bag Jump and Dance-Off, AirAsia Dunk Tank, Petron Hangmen Stations and Gladiator Fight, Berjaya Climbing Wall and Sumo Football were clear favourites at the event.
This year, Music Runners™ were also treated to the AIA Vitality Takeout by Chef Malcolm Goh, an award-winning chef who created two low-calorie healthy meals for Music Runners™ to enjoy after the run. The takeout meals were created to demonstrate that just like great music is to be enjoyed and shared, food can have the same effect while ticking all the nutritional boxes. Each takeout option was priced at RM8 to rebut the popular belief that healthy meals are costly. A total of 3,000 packs were prepared by Chef Malcom and sold out completely!
Elevating the Music Festival was DJ Sam Withers of Australia who took to the decks with a set of expertly-mixed dance tracks, served against a stunning backdrop of laser lights and a riveting pyrotechnic show. Withers is a staple at the various Music Runs around the world and brought with him infectious tunes that kept the crowd grooving till the end.
Exceed Sports and Entertainment run events in 2016 in Bangkok, Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Shenzhen, Singapore and Taipei. For more information please visit The Music Run website www.themusicrun.com, Facebook @TheMusicRunMY or YouTube Channel @TheMusicRunGlobal.

Huddersfield Town Women looking to set record as Everton visit John Smith's Stadium in FA Cup
Bruno Mars Ethnicity, Parents, Wiki, Biography, Age, Wife, Net Worth & More
Huddersfield Town Women are hoping to break their attendance record as they return to the John Smith's Stadium to host Everton in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday 30th January.
Town return to league action this Sunday for their away trip to Hull City Ladies, but have a huge task coming up as Barclays FA Women's Super League side Everton come to West Yorkshire for a first-ever meeting between these two clubs.
Glen Preston's side defeated Sir Tom Finney's Ladies, Sheffield FC Ladies and Loughborough Lightning comfortably to reach this point of the competition, whilst Everton enter the competition for the first time at this stage.
Subject to covid-19 guidelines and rule changes, Town Women's are looking to smash their attendance record of 1,115 at the John Smith's Stadium for the upcoming fixture.
Town Women chair Alison Bamforth elaborated, saying: "The whole club are incredibly excited to have the privilege of welcoming Jean-Luc Vasseur and his Everton side to Huddersfield.
"We are delighted that our players once again have an opportunity to test themselves against WSL opposition, building on the experience of playing Brighton & Hove Albion WFC in last year's Vitality Women's FC Cup 5th round.
"I would like to extend huge thanks to Huddersfield Town AFC for hosting the game at the John Smith's stadium and would love to see the whole of Huddersfield out in force to be that '12th man' and perhaps help generate a bit of FA Cup magic!"
Ticket details and a kick-off time will be announced at a later date.

Lake Geneva is a lake on the north side of the Alps, shared between Switzerland and France. It is one of the largest lakes in Western Europe and the largest on the course of the Rhône.
Lie and have Pique- Nique on the Grass: Since everything in this country is already extremely expensive, it isn't smart to buy something nearby the lake; it would be even pricier. I suggest you to get in advance from supermarkets (which are not very cheap) some soft drinks and enjoy your pique- nique.
Lake Boating: Rent a small boat to wonder inside the lake. Many people like it. Personally, it is not my thing unless I rent with my company the boat privately .
Lake Geneva Balloon: If the weather is nice, it can be a great idea. By "nice" I don't mean only warm and sunny, but snowing as well. If the weather is snowing the balloon experience can be even better. Of course, you have to be carefully dressed. Balloon and especially in Switzerland is very expensive, so it depends on your budget.

Coding is not typing! Coding is problem solving.
We find that there is a misconception about what it means to program. Coding is so much more than just sitting in front of the computer and typing. Coding is problem solving and requires a great deal of attention and creativity. There are so many obstacles to turning the design into code "from people walking by to asking questions to trying to find errors without any help.

Do You Discover Your Passion, or Cultivate It?
The concept of searching for your calling could be likened to finding a single diamond on a beach. But could a garden prove a more fitting metaphor?
Psychological scientists Paul O'Keefe at Yale, along with Carol Dweck and Gregory Walton of Stanford University, examined the effects of mindsets on how people pursue interests that could shape their career choices and satisfaction, not to mention their personal activities. The findings appear in Psychological Science.
The study builds on Dweck's pioneering research into growth mindsets in education. Students with a growth mindset – the belief that skills and smarts can change over time – have shown advantages in motivation and achievement. They see mistakes as opportunities for learning. Fixed mindsets, on the other hand, are associated with low motivation and a tendency to view mistakes as pure failures.
The popular 'discover-your-passion' mantra that seeps through career advice columns, self-help books, and university commencement speeches may lead to a "fixed theory" about interests – a belief that their interests are inflexible and lasting. If they already have a serious passion or goal, this notion could discourage them from pursuing new interests and lead them to eschew jobs and pastimes that don't arouse their current pursuits. On the other hand, people with a "growth theory" may explore different interests and fight through challenges and setbacks, helping them to learn to love what they do.
The researchers conducted five experiments. In their first two, they asked university students if they believed that interests were fixed or if they could be changed. Then all the students read two articles, one technologically-focused and one centered on arts and humanities. Compared to those who believed interests develop and grow, those who held fixed beliefs had a bigger drop in interest in the article that was outside of their main interest area.
The third experiment was designed to show whether mindsets could be changed. Half the participants read an article that stated interests are mostly stable over a lifetime, and half read an article that said interests change. All the students then read the same science-focused or arts-related articles as in the first two experiments and rated their interest in both articles. Participants' exposure to articles about personal interests changed how they approached an article on a subject outside their normal interests (e.g., someone with a strong interest in science, after reading an article about interests being pliable, showed heightened interest in reading an arts-focused article). This showed that the beliefs actually caused the same effects noticed in the first two studies.
With their fourth and fifth experiments, the researchers hoped to explore ideas about motivations and obstacles that arise when one is pursuing a passion. The researchers first surveyed fixed and growth attitudes in a new set of students, then weeks later asked the same respondents open-ended questions about pursuing a passion. Questions included, "Once someone has discovered a passion, what happens to their motivation as they pursue that passion? Will they have limitless motivation? Will they stop procrastinating?"
Respondents who believed in fixed interests were more likely to say that passions provide limitless motivation and minimal obstacles compared to those who believed that interests grow and change over time.
O'Keefe and colleagues' final experiment replayed the challenges of pursuing an interest on a small scale. Participants in this study first read one of two articles: one claiming that interests are mostly fixed or the other claiming interests are flexible and often cultivated. The participants then viewed a video presenting physicist Stephen Hawking's theories about black holes in an accessible, interesting way. The participants who then rated their interest in black holes highly were asked to read a denser, less accessible article on the same subject. The fixed-theory participants were more likely to downgrade their interest levels in black holes after reading the difficult article compared to growth-theory participants. The gap was highest among those who found the article hard to understand.
It is yet to be seen whether changing these mindsets leads to permanent, long-term effects. If future research supports their benefits, though, commencement speakers may soon need to shop around for another phrase to replace 'discover your passion.'
