Chaucer's Canterbury Tales – Knight's Tale
Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, written in approximately 1385, is a collection of twenty-four stories ostensibly told by various people who are going on a religious pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral from London, England. Prior to the actual tales, however, Chaucer offers the reader a glimpse of fourteenth century life by way of what he refers to as a General Prologue. In this prologue, Chaucer introduces all of the characters who are involved in this imaginary journey and who will tell the tales. Among the characters included in his introductory section is a knight.
Chaucer initially refers to the knight as "a most distinguished man" (l. 43) and, indeed, his sketch of the knight is highly complimentary. The knight, Chaucer tells us, "possessed/Fine horses, but he was not gaily dressed" (ll. 69-70). Indeed, the knight is dressed in a common shirt which is stained "where his armor had left mark" (l. 72). That is, the knight is "just home from service" (l. 73) and is in such a hurry to go on his pilgrimage that he has not even paused efore beginning it to change his clothes.
The knight has had a very busy life as his fighting career has taken him to a great many places. He has seen military service in Egypt, Lithuania, Prussia, Russia, Spain, North Africa, and Asia Minor where he "was of [great] value in all eyes (l. 63). Even though he has had a very successful and busy career, he is extremely humble: Chaucer maintains that he is "modest as a maid" (l. 65). Moreover, he has never said a rude thing to anyone in his entire life (cf. ll. 66-7).
Clearly, the knight possesses an outstanding character. Chaucer gives to the knight one of the more flattering descriptions in the General Prologue. The knight can do no wrong: he is an outstanding warrior who has fought for the true faith–according to Chaucer–on three continents. In the midst of all this contenton, however, the knight remains modest and polite. The knight is the embodiment of the chivalric code: he is devout and courteous off the battlefield and is bold and fearless on it.
In twentieth century America, we would like to think that we have many people in our society who are like Chaucer's knight. During this nation's altercation with Iraq in 1991, the concept of the modest but effective soldier captured the imagination of the country. Indeed, the nation's journalists in many ways attempted to make General H. Norman Schwarzkof a latter day knight. The general was made to appear as a fearless leader who really was a regular guy under the uniform. It would be nice to think that a person such as the knight could xist in the twentieth century.
The fact of the matter is that it is unlikely that people such as the knight existed even in the fourteenth century. As he does with all of his characters, Chaucer is producing a stereotype in creating the knight. As noted above, Chaucer, in describing the knight, is describing a chivalric ideal. The history of the Middle Ages demonstrates that this ideal rarely was manifested in actual conduct. Nevertheless, in his description of the knight, Chaucer shows the reader the possibility of the chivalric way of life.

What's missing here is the actual presenter telling the bedtime story, but you'll get the gist. Here's the original accompanying post for a little more on what's behind this presentation.
In a nutshell, "PowerPoint is not always the answer, even if it will communicate 'the basic facts' to your audience." Enjoy!

Connected Asset Management achieves B Corp certification
Connected Asset Management achieves B Corp certification joining a select group of global asset managers.
Connected Asset Management (Connected) has become one of the UK's few FCA-regulated positive impact investors to certify as a B Corporation dedicated to using business as a force for good, it has been announced today 10th August 2020.
The London-based asset manager provides investment management services to global financial clients including one of the UK's leading workplace pension providers Smart Pension. Connected works to develop impact investment solutions to enable its clients to deploy capital responsibly towards assets including microfinance, social housing, renewable/clean energy and Tech for Good (Impact Tech).
The company was certified by B Lab the not-for-profit behind the B Corp movement, as having met rigorous social and environmental standards which represent its commitment to goals outside of shareholder profit.
This news places Connected Asset Management right at the heart of a shift in global finance towards responsible investing which has seen large pension firms announce plans to decarbonise and invest in green strategies. Connected is working closely with Smart Pension in further developing its investment solution and in particular the evolution of its responsible investment strategy.
Founder and MD Darren Agombar, said: "We are seeing a paradigm change in global finance towards responsible investing. It is no longer acceptable to ignore how investment returns are generated nor the potential societal impact that process might have.
Becoming a B Corporation is legally rigorous and not to be taken lightly. It's widely accepted that companies that continue to contribute to climate change or operate poor corporate governance for example, will see an impact in their long-term financial health. Tackling these issues head on in a transparent way is not just a question of values, it is evidence of doing good business."
He continues: "B Corp certification will provide us with a strong framework from which we can deliver our vision and support other businesses to assign capital in a way that will influence the future world we live in, in a good way. To put it simply, obtaining B Corp certification for Connected is one of the proudest achievements of my professional career."
The B Corp certification addresses the entirety of a business' operations and covers five key impact areas of Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. Connected Asset Management will display an overall B impact score based on its performance. To complete the certification, the companies must legally embed their commitment to purpose beyond profit in their company articles.
Chris Turner, executive director of B Lab UK said: "Being able to welcome Connected Asset Management to the B Corp community is hugely exciting. Its commitment to doing business differently will be an inspiration to others and really help spread the idea that we can redefine success in business to be as much about people and planet as it is about profit."
There are currently only 330 certified B Corps in the UK and over 3,400 worldwide. The B Corp community in the UK, representing a broad cross section of industries and sizes, includes well-known brands such as The Guardian, innocent, Patagonia, The Body Shop, and as of this week, Jamie Oliver.
About Connected Asset Management
Connected Asset Management is a B Corp certified and FCA-regulated impact asset management firm founded by Darren Agombar in 2019. Darren has decades of experience of operating at a high level in global financial markets, developing investment strategies for leading DC pension funds and is an expert in behavioural economics and impact investment.

Gang of 13 involved in huge conspiracy to flood Staffordshire with cocaine jailed
Series of police busts bring down operation
Offenders in Staffordshire who were convicted of of their part in a conspiracy to supply cocaine on December 18 and 19, 2018. (Image: Staffordshire Police)
Nine men and four women have been sentenced to a total of 50 years for their part in a huge conspiracy to supply cocaine in a huge area stretching from Staffordshire to the Welsh borders.
The group, which was led by the three Saeed brothers from Wolverhampton – Abdul, Mohammed and Shabaz – was jailed for a total of more than 50 years.
The scale of the operation meant that the case took almost five years to build from initial arrests and involved the collation of huge amounts of data including the analysis of 132 mobile phones seized.
Officers seized cocaine with a street value of more than £200,000 and £40,000 in cash.
The men and women were jailed at Stafford Crown Court today and yesterday, December 18 and 19.
All pleaded guilty at earlier hearings, except three men – Richard Smallman, Shabaz Saeed and Stephen Coldrick – who were found guilty following trials.

The criminal activity took place between January 1, 2013, and January 1, 2015.
The court heard that warrants were initially executed in July 2013 at the addresses of Sandy McInnes, and Emily and Charlotte Adams in Cannock. Cocaine was recovered and arrests made.
On December 5, 2013, officers watched an exchange take place in Orbital Way, Cannock, between Stephen Coldrick and Sonny Barham.
Coldrick, a qualified accountant, was arrested on the Wolverhampton Road shortly afterwards with £6,000 of cocaine in the car he was driving, which was licensed to Shabaz Saeed.

Evidence also placed Coldrick in the King Street/Duke Street area of Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent, where police later seized a kilo of pure cocaine on March 5, 2014, at a flat and shop, operating as safe houses for the storage of drugs, following the arrests of Mohammed and Shabaz Saeed.
Further work led officers to Welshpool where Abdul Saeed was arrested for conspiracy to supply drugs.
A tick list was recovered at the address in Welshpool with many of the group members' names on it.

On December 29, 2013, Sandy McInnes and Richard Smallman were arrested after they ran away from a blue Fiat Punto in Chadsmoor, Cannock. Cocaine was found and documents linking the group.
Officers stopped an Alfa Romeo on January 17, 2014, in Beau Court, Cannock. Martin Lloyd, Benjamin Brown, Shane Girvan and Robert Jones were in the car and cash and cocaine was seized.
After Abdul Saeed's arrest the brothers were forced to take a more active role and investigations moved to the Stoke-on-Trent area.
Detectives pieced together the conspiracy monitoring vehicle movements, CCTV and gathering phone data.

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Bentley, of Staffordshire Police, said: "This was an exceptionally challenging and complex case to build. The volume of material was exceptional and I'd like to commend my officers for their attention to detail and tenacity in bringing this case before the courts.
"Despite the complexity and challenges such cases bring we hope these sentences deliver a clear message: We will bring those who deal drugs and spread misery in our communities to justice."
The sentences for conspiracy to supply cocaine (unless otherwise stated, with some already-served sentences in brackets for conspiracy to supply offences relating to earlier stages of this operation):
Abdul Saeed, aged 38, of NFA, sentenced to six years and two months
Mohammed Saeed, aged 43, of Summerfield Road, Wolverhampton, sentenced to six years and four months (already serving five years and six months)

Nonetheless, Crawford believes a fight against Spence can happen.
"Of course it is makeable," Crawford said when asked about the bout. "I believe it would be the biggest fight in the welterweight division. But like you said, I have this fight against Amir Khan.
Demand for the fight escalated following Spence's dominant performance in his title defense against Mikey Garcia March 16. Now, Crawford (34-0, 25 KOs) will need to follow up with a similar accomplishment against Khan to further strengthen the fight's appeal.
In addition to ring performance, Crawford-Khan pay-per-view figures also will indicate if a future fight with Spence will result in a profitable venture. The pay-per-numbers for the Spence-Garcia bout reportedly generated more than 300,000 purchases – not the stratospheric figures of fights headlined by the retired Floyd Mayweather Jr. or the two Saul "Canelo" Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin bouts but healthy figures for fighters new to the pay-per-view medium.
A 2004 Olympic silver medalist representing his native Great Britain and a former WBA super-lightweight champion, Khan is 6-0 as a welterweight and moved up to junior-middleweight for a pay-per-view title fight against Alvarez three years ago. Khan (33-4, 20 KOs) used his speed and boxing skills to offset Alvarez early in the bout before Alvarez knocked him out in the sixth round.
With all the attention given to a Crawford-Spence fight, Khan looks forward to spoiling such plans.
"One thing I want to say is there is a lot of talk about Crawford with Spence, who just came off a fight," Khan said. "All of those people should be talking about Spence against me. I'm not just a number.

I haven't used WordPress much, but so far so good (mostly). The install page mentioned "the Famous 5-minute install." I didn't time it, but I bet it was pretty close to that. I am pretty amazed at how easy it was to setup. And the options and customizability is great, far better than blogger.
I was very surprised by the number of plugins available. I knew WP had plugins, but you can find one for just about anything. The only problem is many are not up to date with the latest release just like Firefox's extensions. But unlike Firefox extensions, nothing blocks the install of non-working extensions except the PHP errors you will get when you try to use it.
I am finding the "rich" post editor a bit annoying. In Firefox the cursor is a bit jumpy sometimes. I am used to writing post HTML by hand so I have switched to the non-rich mode. In rich mode I keep having troubles with extra tags or not enough tags and constantly have to edit the raw HTML to fix it.
I already mentioned what I think of the default WP themes in my second post. Since there is only one decent default theme it is way overused by bloggers so it gets boring. And I wonder why the Dashboard skin is nicer than the default blog skin anyway. I like the simple blue theme of the admin pages.
And where is the spell checker? I was pretty surprised to not be able to find the spell check button when I first started using WP. I figured it must be there somewhere. How could they release it without one? My spelling isn't that good and I would prefer not to look like an idiot who can't spell when I post. Firefox not having a spell checker I can understand (but in 2.0 they are supposedly adding one), but this is like Thunderbird not having a spell checker. That would be insane. It probably isn't as critical to spell correctly on your blog as it is in business emails, but still any publishing tool should have a spell checker installed by default.
As I said before, there are lots of plugins for WP so now I have Live Spell Checker. It also works on comments which is pretty nice. But it doesn't work quite right with the rich editor. It was about the only one I found that said it worked with WP 2.0. It uses Google for spell checking so the spell check interface is very similar to Gmail. But it wrapped lines and caused the raw HTML to display in a box above the rich text editor. At least the comment checker part doesn't even work right on the author's webpage (with Firefox). It does work ok with non-rich mode though.


Well, this photo problem is a tough case tough to crack. In Double Mystery and Back to the Double Mystery, I analyzed the clues in Sandy Forest's photo of her ancestor Felix Forest and an unidentified man.
Have you added your thoughts to the comment section? I'd love to hear from you. This week, a couple of readers think the objects in the photo are just props and not real items owned or carried by the men. I agree that some of the items are just for showing off — the bottle of liquor, the glass and the fake dog. But how far does the photo clowning go? Are their hats and the spike photographer's props as well? That's what we'd all like to know.
I emailed Robert Holzweiss, president of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society about the spike and the hat that reads "Asst. Engineer." He showed the photo to a panel of railroad experts and they agreed that there is no railroad connection. They suggested the spike could be an in to hook wagons together.
What do you think? I want to revisit family history with Sandy Forest and see if census records identify any other occupations in her family. That's my next step.
In honor of Valentine's Day last week, I have a short video on my Vimeo channel. If you like it, please click the "like" button.
Later this week, I'm in England at Who Do You Think You Are? Live. In my next column I'll have a report for you and hopefully a few photos.

I took a slightly different approach..I first looked at the history of the top hat (when they were first invented and popularity) and the various styles and when they appeared to change in the 19th century. I then narrowed it down to between 1848 and 1850 then I looked at the gentleman to the left's mustache. I then looked up the history and various styles that were worn during this period and narrowed the time to still again to the mid-19th century.
Could they possibly be actors?
The top hat changed in shape and style throughout the nineteenth century. This man could have owned this hat or it could be an old prop. The other details in the picture especially the studio props suggest a date later in the nineteenth century. Good detective work!!


The generous support of the Tinker Award enabled me to spend eight weeks conducting pre-dissertation research in Havana, Cuba. During my research, I located important sources in a variety of archives, and established contacts with archivists, professors, and interviewees for the oral history aspect of my project. Furthermore, this research has allowed me to develop a stronger dissertation research agenda, which I will submit to my committee this coming spring.
My dissertation project is an investigation of the role of the Soviet Union in the development of a new, socialist Cuban science from 1959-1985. It focuses on the extent of Soviet influence in the realm of scientific research and education, and the effects of Soviet aid and education on developing Cuba's new professional class post-Revolution. The project also seeks to examine the intricacies of Soviet and Cuban relationships in workplaces, laboratories, and universities, unraveling the social and cultural clashes that accompanied this influx of Soviet Scientists. After the mass-exodus of middle and upper class professionals in the early years of the Revolution, the remaining professionals in Cuba realized that there was a large amount of work ahead of them in order to conduct the necessary research to propel the economy forward. While Cuban professionals and scientists wanted to jump start Cuba's research capabilities, they did not have the personnel nor the material resources to do so for at least another ten years. The solution, according to the Cuban Academy of Sciences: Cuba would simultaneously bring foreign Soviet specialists to Cuba to begin the important research for agriculture and extracting natural resources, while sending Cuban students to learn abroad in Soviet universities. This dual exchange would ensure that scientific research could continue at home, even while the Cuban specialists of the future were learning abroad.

Whether within scientific institutes in Cuba or Russian universities Soviets were deeply involved in developing the Cuban professional class post Revolution.
While Soviet specialists directed research projects, taught Cubans how to use the Soviet equipment donated to them by the USSR, conducted informational conferences and compiled many of the crucial handbooks, textbooks, and reports used in Cuban classrooms, how did Cubans interpret this privileging of Soviet knowledge in their fields? Was the experience of learning from Soviets different for Cubans studying abroad than it was for Cubans who studied in their own country? How do Cubans understand this dependency, and how was Soviet knowledge contested and adapted in their research projects, in their work, and in their studies?
In order to answer these questions, I consulted a variety of sources from multiple ar- chives across Havana. Many of the research reports from joint Soviet-Cuban research teams were published by the Academy of Sciences, and were available at the Biblioteca Nacional José Martí. These reports offer a look at how Soviet scientists influenced the research directed by the new Academy of Sciences, whose rechristening in 1962 under the ideals of the Revolution ushered a flood of new research projects. Similarly, the Biblioteca Nacional held a collection of letters from Juan Marinello, the rector of the University of Havana, who handled the flow of petitions from Russians to work at the Universidad de La Habana. I was also able to consult letters, annual reports, and memoranda from the Academy of Sciences at the Fundación Antonio Núñez Jiménez. In addition, I located bulletins and conference transcripts from the branch- es of the Academy of Sciences, to determine the presence, influence, and reception of Soviet specialists within different fields. After completing my research goals, I spent the last part of my trip making important contacts with Cuban professionals who studied in the Soviet Union. Their experiences constitute an important perspective on Soviet aid, for their experiences round out the reality of international exchange and the influence of a drastic change in the demographics of their professional and education settings. These preliminary interviews consisted of questions addressing these individuals' experiences both within the Soviet university system and the impact their education abroad had on their career and professional opportunities.

While the preliminary sources I've consulted give a good glimpse at the extent of Soviet influence on Cuban science and science education, further research is necessary to untangle the intricate relationships between Cubans and Soviets in professional environments. I plan to conduct additional interviews with Cuban researchers who worked alongside Soviet scientists, Cuban professionals who learned from Russian professors, textbooks, and instructors at the workplace and at Cuban universities, as well as with Cuban students who went abroad to Soviet universities and lived and studied with Russian students and interacted with Russian professors. These interviews will unveil the cultural processes that accompanied these exchanges, and the clashes that occurred as Cuban and Soviet professionals underwent a give-and-take of information and plans for development.
Though there is much work to be done, the materials I consulted during this preliminary research trip have helped guide my research questions and my ability to design a feasible research plan for the dissertation. I am grateful to the Center for Latin American Studies and the Tinker Award committee for selecting my project and providing me with this opportunity.


Hungary's low cost airline Wizz Air is expanding its flight network from Kyiv, boosting the total number of destinations from 21 to 23. According to the booking system of the airline, the new flights are scheduled for Vienna, Berlin and Frankfurt on the Main, although WizzAir would not fly to Frankfurt-Hahn. Wizz Air Executive Vice President and Deputy Chief Executive Officer Stephen Jones said at a press conference in Kyiv on Friday that last year the airline carried around 30 million passengers, and in 2018 it plans to carry 35 million passengers using 100 planes. "Our fleet consists of 96 Airbus aircraft, the 100th will come in June this year. We have about 4,000 employees. We have 28 bases in 16 countries, and the next base will be opened in Vienna," he said.
With regard to Ukrainian flights, Stevens said that in Frankfurt the company will fly to the main airport, going from the Frankfurt-Hahn airport.
According to the booking system, it is planned that flights to Frankfurt and Berlin (Schoenefeld) will be launched from July 1, and first two week will be made four times a week, and then on a daily basis. The flights to Vienna will start from the winter navigation schedule at the end of October and will be serviced daily. He recalled that the airline will expand the fleet in the base in Kyiv from two to three aircraft, which will add $100 of investment and create about 100 jobs in the crew and support staff.
In March 2018, Kyiv International Airport named after Igor Sikorsky served 155,700 passengers, which was 56.6% more than in March 2017.
The number of passengers served on international routes was 149,400 people, while those who flew on domestic routes numbered 6,300 people.
State-owned enterprise (SOE) Boryspil International Airport (Kyiv), the largest airport of the country, plans to service 12.55 million passengers in 2018, which is 19% more than in 2017, when 10.555 million people were serviced. This is outlined in a financial plan of the airport approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on April 11 and a copy of which has been sent to Interfax-Ukraine.
According to the document, this year the airport seeks to boost passenger flow on international routes by 16.8%, to 11.31 million and on domestic routes – by 42.7%, to 1.24 million people.
"The decrease in the airport fees in the Boryspil airport since June 2017 and the introduction of a program to stimulate growth in volumes by the number of carriers allow us to maintain high growth rates of passenger traffic," the airport said in an explanatory note to its financial plan.
In 2018, the Boryspil airport plans to serve 101,466 flights, which is 16% more than in 2017. The number of international flights is planned at 89,363 (17.6% more), domestic – 12,103 (5.4% more).
Kyiv authorities formally renamed international airport Zhuliany "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv International Airport". The airport is widely known as 'Zhuliany' after the surrounding neighborhood of the same name. Igor Sikorsky was born in Kyiv. During World War I, he designed and constructed bombers for Russia's military. After the communists came to power and threatened him and his family, Sikorsky emigrated to the USA. There, he gained renown for designing and manufacturing fixed wing aircraft and helicopters.


The one thing that is sure to change for every 5 years is the fashion industry. There is nothing called permanent in this world. With every decade passing by, certain aspects of fashion seem to be repeating. Certain people do not wish to turn back and live that same life. They need more and something different. The ongoing economic development presents millions of opportunities to this industry and there are lots of fashion designers who come up with innovative ideas and designs. How many times in the past have you wanted to get the looks of Russell Krow or Decaprio? Was it so difficult? Of course not!! It is just the way of dressing and their hair style distinguishes them from the rest.
History gives us true inspiration when it comes to changing fashion. Some of them are interested in getting back to the tradition, core values and have them as a treasure. People have started looking back to know their history and praise it. The all new concept of this industry started from the European Civilization. The retro-special dresses are something that people could never forget.
Attraction, style, high class looks and elements are the key factors for the to-be-trends. A lady dressing like a queen or princess will consider herself to be very sophisticated in the late 1960's. Men would like to wear the aristocrat's dress with a hat which symbolized their status. The later period of 1970's witnessed a cultural change and people started liking the embroidery works and other fine works made on their apparel. The feminine fashion industry reported a rapid change across the borders. The gypsy and folk fashionable dresses entered the market. The migration of people was very active due to various economic failure and other reasons. Hence, the culture and fashion trends also got transferred and diversified across nations.
The western world was considered to be the God of fashion industries until late 1980's. The Hollywood actresses were treated on par with goddess. Their apparel and clothing was treated to be the best in the world. However, the influence of eastern economies had a considerable impact on the fashion industries. The traditional jewellery items and exotic embroidery designs in the attire paved way for an artistic look. There are always 2 kinds of fashion that would exist during all the period. People prefer to wear their traditional attire when there is any function and they do not want to leave out their tradition. On the other hand, if there is any get together or a party, they prefer to wear fashionable dresses.
It could be a nice point to say that fashion industry has reduced the boundaries of many countries and helped people to know and mingle with each other. It helps them to have shine, glitter, design, print mixes which will ultimately result in natural harmony. Certain people would like to wear fashionable dresses and they take extra care in their appearance and in the way of dressing. This industry will keep changing with the development in the economy.

Beckham's single keys late rally as Rays beat Orioles 3-1
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer reacts after turning a double play against Baltimore Orioles' J.J. Hardy and Travis Snider during the fourth inning of a baseball game Friday, July 24, 2015, in St. Petersburg, Fla. (AP Photo/Chris O'Meara)
Chris O'Meara
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) The struggling Tampa Bay Rays needed a lift, and Tim Beckham was ecstatic to provide it.
The rookie shortstop pointed to the dugout as he sprinted up the first base line after lashing a two-out, bases-loaded single that snapped an eighth-inning tie and lifted his team to a 3-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night.
The sputtering Rays rallied after being limited to two hits over seven innings by Orioles starter Chris Tillman, who came within six outs of winning his sixth straight decision before walking Kevin Kiermaier leading off the eighth.
Kiermaier stole second and raced home on John Jaso's two-out single off reliever Darren O'Day (5-1) to make it 1-1. Evan Longoria followed with a bloop single and James Loney was walked intentionally before Beckham singled up the middle.
''We needed that,'' manager Kevin Cash said after the Rays won for just ninth time in 28 games.
Beckham received a Gatorade bath leaving the field. He hopes his teammates haven't doused his good fortune.
''I thought about my shoes. My shoes were soaking wet. Been playing pretty good in those shoes,'' said the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 draft. ''It's a superstition thing. I want to keep it going. ... It feels great to contribute to it.''
Alex Colome (4-4) pitched a scoreless eighth, and Jake McGee worked the ninth for his fifth save.
The Orioles, meanwhile, lost for the first time this season when leading after seven innings.
''Tilly was the reason we stayed in the ball game. One run doesn't do it very often,'' Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. ''It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique (the pitching), but the bottom line is we need to score runs.''
Tillman picked up where he left off from a stellar performance at Detroit last weekend, walking three and striking out four while frustrating Tampa Bay most of the night.
Chris Davis gave Tillman all the offensive support it looked like the right-hander might need with a RBI double in the fourth off All-Star Chris Archer (9-8), who allowed one run and five hits over six innings.
The Orioles were 39-0 when leading after seven innings, but couldn't finish the Rays, who were coming off losing two of three at Philadelphia, which has the worst record in the majors.
Baltimore has lost four straight after getting swept by the first-place New York Yankees.
''(Tillman) put us in a good spot and I didn't get my job done,'' O'Day said. ''It would have been a nice win tonight against one of the best pitchers in the American League. It just wasn't meant to be.''
Tillman yielded a leadoff single to Ian Kinsler and walked Victor Martinez in the first inning before finishing a one-hit, eight-inning outing by retiring the last 23 batters he faced in a 3-0 victory at Detroit last Saturday. He fanned the first two Rays and extended his streak to 28 consecutive hitters before walking David DeJesus with two outs in the second.
Longoria doubled down the right-field line for the first hit off the Tillman, who also walked Beckham before escaping a jam in the fourth. Kiermaier bunted for a single in the fifth, but was stranded when Rene Rivera struck out and Steven Souza Jr. grounded to third to end the inning.
Orioles: INF-OF Steve Pearce (strained left oblique), placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday retroactive to July 19, had an MRI exam that showed inflammation. Manager Buck Showalter said it's iffy that Pearce will be ready when eligible to come off the DL early next month.
Rays: SS Asdrubal Cabrera (right hamstring) said he was at 80 percent during his first-base running session. ... OF Desmond Jennings (left knee) ran and took batting practice with Cabrera.
HIGH AND TIGHT
Tillman hit Beckham with a pitch leading off the seventh, so plate umpire John Tumpane warned both benches in the eighth when Colome plunked Manny Machado, the second batter the reliever faced.
IMPRESSIVE STREAK
McGee, who began the season on the disabled list following elbow surgery, extended his string of scoreless appearances to 21. It's one of five scoreless streaks of at least 20 games in the majors this year.
Orioles: RHP Miguel Gonzalez (8-6) faces the Rays for the fourth time this season. He's allowed one run in 15 2-3 innings over the past two starts against Tampa Bay.
Rays: RHP Erasmo Ramirez (8-3) has all of his wins joining the rotation for good on May 14.

Fans of natural beauty, I feel like we have reached a pivotal moment where natural makeup is finally, truly challenging those from the mainstream brands. I am so excited to bring you a review of a recently launched foundation from ILIA, a brand that has grown from strength to strength over the past few years.
Sasha Plavsic, ILIA's founder, started the brand after turning 30 and feeling uncertain with her career path at the time. She moved back from California to her home in Vancouver, lived with her parents and worked on developing ILIA at night. It wasn't an easy road. Back in 2010, labs were not interested in speaking with her and organic product design wasn't where it is now. Sasha was extremely persistent and in 2011 she launched 6 lip conditioner colours. Now, ILIA's repertoire includes the full spectrum of makeup and everything you would need to complete a look. Eyeliners, mascaras, lip balm, lip scrub, two foundations, a tinted moisturiser, concealer – the list goes on. Check out their products at Mecca Cosmetica if you're located in Australia and want to have a play with the range in person.
In this blog post I want to focus on the True Skin Serum Foundation, but I can't do this without mentioning ILIA's first foundation release, the Vivid Foundation. Unfortunately, I didn't get on with this one at all. The first shade I was matched with was ghostly, and the second one was too pink (Gobi F2) so I haven't worn it much, but enough to know that it just wasn't going to work. I found it too thick and it dried quickly, making it very difficult to blend. It seemed to separate and not really bind to my skin and all round it was a dud for me. I wanted to love it but it wasn't to be. Despite the disappointment, I was so excited to hear that the words "True Skin Serum" were part of the next launch from ILIA and I secretly knew I would love it.
The True Skin Serum Foundation claims to be equal parts skincare and colour correction. It contains ingredients such as aloe leaf juice, baobab seed oil, marula seed oil, jojoba seed oil, squalene and vitamin E paired with high performance hydrators such as glycerin and triglycerides. Please note that this foundation contains Dimethicone (a silicone). I do wonder why they were not able to achieve a serum texture without this ingredient. The Gressa Minimalist Corrective Serum Foundation did so, and did it well. However, I believe ILIA is the superior of the two.
Packaged in a glass bottle with a pump and lid, the ILIA True Skin Serum Foundation feels very nice to hold and much more luxurious than it's predecessor, the Vivid Foundation. One pump dispenses the right amount to cover the face and it has a true serum feel with a high pigment content, so a little goes a long way. Being a serum, it is incredibly light, silky and easy to blend and it achieves a light to medium coverage which can be built up. For me, the best thing about the product is that it lives up to its name – it looks like skin and it doesn't feel like you're wearing foundation. It's luminous but not overly dewy, so all skin types can appreciate its beautiful texture without getting a shiny head. I haven't noticed any settling into lines or accentuation of dryness. Longevity is great, around 10-12 hours. To be honest, I can't fault it and it ticks all of my boxes and then some!
Unless using a powder, I always apply products with my fingers and the same goes for the ILIA True Skin Serum Foundation. I dot it around the face, blend with my finger tips and within a few seconds I'm done. It's hard to mess it up and it fits into my makeup routine so well because it's quick and flawless. I wear the shade Tavarua SF2 and I strongly suggest you get matched in store.
I hope you enjoyed my review of this standout foundation. I love that it's easily accessible to us in Australia now! Let me know if you've tried ILIA products at Mecca Cosmetica via the comments below or you can email me and connect with me on Instagram and Facebook.

Next week: Mists, toners and why you should be using them.
Which is your favorite between ilia and gressa?

Dole VA Center Set to Open Women's Care Facility
KMUW
Published September 6, 2018 at 5:57 AM CDT
wichita.va.gov
A new women's clinic is opening this month at the Dole VA Medical Center in Wichita.
Female veterans will soon have more health care options in Wichita.
The Dole VA Medical Center is set to open a women's care facility on Sept. 28. The new building will be located on the center's main campus on East Kellogg.
The $1.4 million facility will serve more than 1,500 female veterans who are currently enrolled at the medical center.
Akeam Ashford, a public affairs officer for the Wichita VA, said the medical center has lacked a private space for women.
"We still had space for our women veterans, we still cared for them, but it was in kind of a joint space," Ashford said. "So you have to think about privacy, safety, dignity and sensitivity to gender issues and specific needs."
Those issues, he said, will be solved by the new facility.
The 2,700-square-foot addition will include four exam rooms, two procedure treatment rooms and a private waiting room. The facility will centralize all women's primary care and specialty care services.
There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony Sept. 28 at 12:30 p.m. A meet and greet with female veterans will begin at 2 p.m. at the Dole VA Auditorium, followed by public tours of the new facility.
Ray Strunk is an intern in the KMUW News Lab.

New Amsterdam Season 4 Episode 4 Spoilers
In this episode, New Amsterdam Hospital will witness the introduction of Dr. Veronica Fuentes as the new medical director. However, Max does not seem thrilled with her presence, even though they are acquainted and likely have a tense history. Max points out that she isn't the appropriate fit for the position since she is a corporate-minded, cutthroat, and profit-driven individual who isn't concerned about the patients.
Helen will also spend time conducting screenings for cancer patients before it's too late. Finally, after settling together as a pair in the hospital, Leyla and Bloom are faced with a new obstacle. Leyla's time is switched due to the nighttime shift, and they may not be able to spend time together after all.
New Amsterdam Season 4, What happened Till Now?
In the third episode of New Amsterdam Season 4, Max meets Imamai, a bright science student at the Science fair. Also, her scientific innovation could redefine the world, and Max seemed to be interested in assisting her. Anyone can use the device to check one's temperature or illness in place of thermometers and machines. Max is so taken with her that he attempts to promote her initiative.
Instead of enabling the young adolescent to transform the world, a pharmaceutical corporation sues him for half a million dollars. As a result, Max attempts to assist Imami by uncovering a flaw. However, things do not turn out the way they had hoped. Max brings Imani to Dr. Nagendran when she thinks no one would purchase her concept. He considers Imani's proposal and offers a full scholarship to her as Dean of Columbia's College of Arts and Sciences.
Helen was busy helping Dr. Floyd treat the victims' wounds following the hospital's fourth mass shooting in a week. She also finds it difficult to live with Max since he is disorganized, snores, and lives a mundane existence as a single parent. However, she contemplates remaining in New Amsterdam since the hospital may be in disarray without the two.
In addition, Iggy and his pupil must deal with the suicide death of their patient. Iggy lends a hand to Wandy, who has just lost her patient. Finally, Karen presents Max's successor as Medical Director. It comes out that the lady who had been watching everyone throughout the show is Veronica.


Free internet access is thankfully on the rise, but when so many of us are connected at home and out and about on smart phones, wireless devices and WiFi it's hard to imagine having to make an appointment to get an hour online. Having secured one's hour at a library, community learning space or similar, the task of logging onto the system and navigating away from the homepage is likely to take a sizeable chunk out of the designated time. Even for the most seasoned cyber surfer under an hour will be at best a couple of emails, bit of a nosey on facebook and possibly some gentle Youtubing. Or of course if there are serious tasks to be done, you could perhaps search for and download the details of a job or two, investigate your car insurance or plan a journey. So what about people who don't know how to set up an email account, or use Google or open a programme?
With thanks to Sheffield City Council's now closed Small Grants fund RASAG has been running an IT club on Mondays,11 – 3 at Sharrow Old Junior School. The grant which we received in March enables us to hire the IT Training Suite (£25 p/h), to buy a small amount of teaching resources and to refund bus fares to qualifying participants, ie. those who are unwaged or entirely without income. Thanks to an element of match funding from the Community Forum, we are also able to provide a hot lunch. The combination of transport assistance and food makes us an ideal facility for anyone who does not have personal internet access and who is on a tight budget.
Literacy is the greatest barrier to learner progression and enjoyment at IT Club, so reading support is the key need within the group. If a person is literate in any language, they will be able to use a computer and may have ESL needs that can be addressed with online activities. However, if the person cannot read any language, then ESL activities will not help them to use a computer. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere at the IT Club ensures that everyone gets a chance to try new things, learn and practice new skills and meet people who learn in different ways and all have something to teach.
Some of the things that have proved to be important to IT Club goers so far include having access to music and videos from other cultures, using email, facebook, twitter and other platforms to communicate with people and being able to download job applications, funding applications and print coursework and formal letters. It's so satisfying to see facilities being used and enjoyed, and a wide variety of people gaining substantial benefit from them. Viva IT Club!

AquaClear Power Filter works by drawing water from aquarium through its extension tube then transfers it into the motor. This motor pumps water out of the impeller assembly, this tube sends this unfiltered water to filter inserts to trap or remove any debris and particles to purify the water. This is not the kind of device that requires you to spend money on new filters every 2-4 weeks, because you might end up spending more money. This filter doesn't need replacement filter pads, it uses a block of foam to trap dirt, then every 1-2 weeks, you can clean the foam by squeezing it several times in water, please make sure that you use de-chlorinated water. Each unit comes fully equipped with AquaClear Foam, BioMax, Activated Carbon, and Cycle Guard to provide you with continuous biological filtration and superior water quality. If you have delicate fish and plants, you would love AquaClear Power Filter, it allows you to control the flow rate to keep your fish safe without sacrificing the filtration efficiency.

IPL 2016: Chris Gayle Flies Back Home For Birth Of Baby, To Miss Two Games For RCB
Joshua Arpit NathUpdated on Apr 19, 2016, 19:52 IST
UniverseBoss, the way he likes himself to be called, Chris Gayle has flown from India for the birth his first child. The maverick batsman is going to miss two Indian Premier League for his team the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Very active on social media, Gayle had posted this pic of him on board the home-bound flight.
I'm on my way, Baby. 😊
A photo posted by KingGayle 👑 (@chrisgayle333) on Apr 17, 2016 at 9:39pm PDT
Gayle's partner Natasha Berridge is expecting a baby and the 36-year-old obviously wants to spend the next 5-6 days with her. He also posted a picture of the flight attendants giving him a complementary sweet on hearing the good news.
Thanks @qatarairways for the lovely service and cake ????. #Champion ???? pic.twitter.com/yqjCasTdrD
— Chris Gayle (@henrygayle) April 18, 2016
Gayle will miss RCB match against defending champions Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium tomorrow (April 20) and also the next game against Rising Pune Supergiants in Pune on Friday. RCB face Gujarat Lions on Sunday in Rajkot, match that Gayle might be back for.
The left-hander hasn't had a good outing in the two games so far in the tournament, scoring a total of 1 run in two games. The 36-year-old was out for just 1 run against Sunrisers Hyderabad and was dismissed for a three-ball duck by captain Zaheer Khan against Delhi Daredevils.
Gayle's move to go back home came as a surprise for some in the RCB. "Chris flew back immediately after RCB's last match (against Delhi Daredevils on April 17). We did not expect this. He got a call and flew back home," an RCB source is quoted as saying by the Deccan Chronicle.
However, skipper Virat Kohli isn't too concerned about his poor form. "I am sure he will come good at some stage of the tournament. Probably, he may get a hundred for us when it's required the most. I am not too worried about Gayle, because the other guys are stepping up nicely. Cricket is all about grabbing the opportunity, if some others fail. Chris takes lot of pride playing for RCB. He has been a standout player for us. I think people just expect a lot out of him every T20 match he plays because he is good at it and has scored 17 centuries, which is not a joke. So, expectations are high and Gayle wants to live up to them," Kohli said.
We wish Gayle all the best for parenthood and may he come back with a lot of lady luck to excel the way we're used to seeing him at the IPL.


The TRP said that incentive funding was not achieving its intended outcome – to stimulate ambitious and innovative approaches in concept notes – and was instead creating additional burdens for applicants.
The TRP said that in an attempt to secure additional funding, many applicants placed essential core services in the above-allocation portion of their request instead of in the base funding portion where they belonged.
According to the TRP, the current allocation methodology is flawed and should be revised for the next allocation period. The current methodology awards disproportionate amounts of funding to countries that will have a relatively low impact on reducing mortality, the TRP said.
The TRP recommended that in their concept notes, applicants indicate clearly the priority of the interventions in both the base funding request and the above-allocation request, and that applicants present a strong evidence-based rationale for their prioritization. The TRP said that while some improvement in this area was noted from Windows 1 to 2, it remains an issue.
TRP reviewers said that the overall quality of three-quarters of the concept notes in Windows 1 and 2 was "good" or "very good." To achieve even better quality, the TRP said, applicants would benefit from more guidance and assistance.
The TRP said that some countries are not using many sources of information, provided to or known by the TRP, to inform their choices of target populations and their decisions concerning which areas of the country to prioritize. The TRP said that countries should consider investing in a central data hub, which gathers multiple sources of epidemiological, behavioral and programmatic information in one location, regardless of funder or implementer.
The TRP said that countries should also seriously consider investing Global Fund resources in building sustainable national analytic capacity to use the large amount of data collected to guide future program decisions, rather than relying too heavily on external consultants.
The TRP recommended that partners and the Secretariat provide more support to countries to enable them to strengthen their data systems.
The TRP also recommended that countries ensure that implementers regularly track the outcomes of interventions in the field through routine program management data collection. The data should be used to make mid-course adjustments to programs, the TRP said. In addition, the data should be referenced in future concept notes to demonstrate the strategic value and potential impact of the support requested.
In a separate report on Windows 1 and 2, issued by the Secretariat, it was revealed that in its concept note Thailand included plans to transition away from Global Fund support. The TRP applauded the decision and said that more applicants should move in this direction.
Meanwhile, in its October NFM progress report, the Secretariat said that is has lowered its forecast of disbursements for 2014 from $3.9 billion to $3.1 billion. In 2013, $3.9 billion was disbursed. One of the reasons for the lower forecast, the Secretariat said, is that many countries are deciding to take more time to develop their concept notes.
However, the Secretariat still anticipates that about 40% of the expected 280 concept notes for 2014-2017 will be reviewed by the TRP in 2014. This amounts to 111 notes with a value of $8.5 billion. Thirty-three notes were reviewed in the first two windows combined, and an additional 39 notes were reviewed in Window 3 in August. For Window 4 in October, 46 notes are currently being screened.
The progress report also provided updates on two special initiatives: the technical partnership agreements with the WHO and UNAIDS; and technical support for community, rights and gender.

Getting Away from Anti-Jewish Ideas about the Death of Jesus
Thursday, March 3, 2022 at 7 p.m.
Registration for this webinar is required via this link.
Christians have always thought about the religious meaning of the death of Jesus. In this webinar, Dr. Jesper Svartvik will show that this has often been based on mistaken views of the role of Temple sacrifices in biblical Judaism, which led to an anti-Jewish theology. Drawing on his new book, Reconciliation and Transformation: Reconsidering Christian Theologies of the Cross, he will offer a biblically-grounded theology of the cross, according to which God is making all things new.
Rev. Dr. Jesper Svartvik holds the Corcoran Visiting Chair in Christian-Jewish Relations at the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning at Boston College. He previously served as the Krister Stendahl Chair of Theology of Religions, which included teaching and research both in Jerusalem and Lund, Sweden.
Nazis of Copley Square: The Forgotten Story of the Christian Front, 1939-1945
Monday, February 7, 2022 at 7 p.m.
The forgotten history of American terrorists who, in the name of God, conspired to overthrow the government and formed an alliance with Hitler.
It is not yet decided whether this program will be offered on the SJU campus or via a webinar. Check back for further information.
On July 14, 1939, two hundred Philadelphia police and a crowd of six thousand overflowed Philadelphia's Metropolitan Opera House to hear famed "radio priest" Father Charles E. Coughlin commission a Mr. John F. Cassidy to lead his new Christian Front organization. Six months later, FBI agents burst into Cassidy's home, arrested him, and seized military-grade rifles, ammunition, and homemade bombs. J. Edgar Hoover's charges were incendiary: the group, he alleged, was planning to incite a revolution and install a "temporary dictatorship" in order to stamp out Jewish and communist influence in the United States.
In the recently published book, Nazis of Copley Square, Jesuit scholar Dr. Charles Gallagher provides a crucial missing chapter in the history of the American far right. The men of the Christian Front imagined themselves as crusaders fighting for the spiritual purification of the nation, under assault from godless communism. The Front's antisemitism was inspired by Sunday sermons and by lay leaders openly espousing fascist and Nazi beliefs.
Gallagher chronicles the evolution of the front, the transatlantic cloak-and-dagger intelligence operations that subverted it, and the mainstream political and religious leaders who shielded the front's activities from scrutiny. Nazis of Copley Square offers a grim tale of faith perverted to violent ends, and its lessons provide a warning for those who hope to stop the spread of far-right violence today.
Dr. Charles R. Gallagher, S.J. is Associate Professor of History at Boston College. The author of numerous books and articles, he specializes in American Catholic history; Vatican diplomacy; U.S. diplomatic history; 19th- & 20th-century American social history; American religious history; and history of the Shoah (Holocaust).
The Bible and the Believer: How to Read the Bible Critically and Religiously
Can the Bible be approached both as sacred scripture and as a historical and literary text?
Monday, November 8, 2021, at 7 p.m.
Watch a recording of this event
Registration is required for this online program. Please register here.
Ten years ago, Marc Zvi Brettler, Peter Enns, and the late Daniel J. Harrington, S.J. — respectively a Jew, a Protestant, and a Catholic — published an important book that provides the title of this program. Do critical biblical studies — the scholarly process of establishing the original contextual meaning of biblical texts with the tools of literary and historical analysis— undermine religions and their interpretations of the Bible, or do they enhance them? This question engages scholars and clergy alike and often disturbs students and others exposed to biblical criticism for the first time, either in university courses or through their own reading. The three authors concluded that an awareness of new archeological evidence, cultural context, literary form, and other tools of historical criticism can provide the necessary preparation for a sound religious reading. And they argue that the challenges such study raises for religious belief should be brought into conversation with religious traditions rather than dismissed. This program will continue the conversation on these topics with two of the book's original authors, who will be joined by a prominent Catholic biblical scholar.
Marc Zvi Brettler is the Bernice and Morton Lerner Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies at Duke University. He is co-editor of The Jewish Annotated New Testament, co-author of The Bible With and Without Jesus: How Jews and Christians Read the Same Stories Differently, and author of How to Read the Jewish Bible and The Creation of History in Ancient Israel and Reading the Book of Judges.
Peter Enns is the Abram S. Clemens Professor of Biblical Studies at Eastern University. He is the author of The Bible Tells Me So: Why Defending Scripture Has Made Us Unable To Read It, The Evolution of Adam: What the Bible Does and Doesn't Say about Human Origins, and Inspiration and Incarnation: Evangelicals and the Problem of the Old Testament.
Mark S. Smith is the Helena Professor of Old Testament Literature and Exegesis at Princeton Theological Seminary. His most recent books are Where the Gods Are: Spatial Dimensions of Anthropomorphism in the Bible World, Poetic Heroes: The Literary Commemoration of Warriors and Warrior Culture in the Early Biblical World, and God in Translation: Deities in Cross-Cultural Discourse in the Biblical World.
Maxims for Mutuality: Principles for Catholic Theology, Education, and Preaching about Jews and Judaism
Sunday, Oct. 31, 2021 at 4:30 p.m.
Teletorium in Mandeville Hall. Parking is adjacent to building. [campus map]
The Institute for Jewish-Catholic Relations is hosting the 2021 meeting of the national Council of Centers on Jewish-Christian Relations (CCJR) on October 31 and November 1. Institute director, Philip Cunningham, will give the public keynote address on the topic of his forthcoming book, Maxims for Mutuality, to be published by Paulist Press. He will also be awarded the Council's Shevet Achim Award for Outstanding Contributions to Christian-Jewish Relations.
Maxims for Mutuality, to draw upon an ancient Greek form, is a kind of "enchiridion," a handbook or set of maxims for theologians, preachers, and educators in one Christian community, the Catholic Church, about how to continue deepening its rapprochement with Jews after centuries of hostility. It proposes ten principles for theologians, educators and preachers that synthesize Catholic insights that have arisen since the Second Vatican Council declaration Nostra Aetate in 1965.
The Shevet Achim Award for Outstanding Contributions to Jewish-Christian Understanding (previous honorees)
The award graphic is used courtesy of the Catholic-Jewish Conference of Milwaukee. The artist, Florence Bern, was inspired by the words "we must build bridges between our faiths." The design includes the two ancient symbols of Judaism and Christianity: the seven-branched menorah and the fish (the Greek word for fish, ICHTHYS, is an acrostic for "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior.") The arch between the menorah and the fish not only evokes the idea of a bridge between us, but recalls the sign of the rainbow given to Noah God's covenant and promises to all humankind. The menorah's three branches from which the fish emerges suggest the traditional Jewish teaching that the world rests upon three things: justice, righteousness, and deeds of loving kindness. The four flames represent the bringing of God's light throughout the world. For Christians, it also indicates that Christianity emerged from Judaism, but has neither exhausted the depths of Judaism nor superseded it. The artist explained that "the circle is not completed between Judaism and Christianity because there is yet work to be done to bring about the peace and justice of God's rule to all the world."
Dr. Philip A. Cunningham is Professor of Theology and Director of the Institute for Jewish-Catholic Relations of Saint Joseph's University. Interested in biblical studies, religious education, and theologies of Christian-Jewish relations, he is the author of numerous books and articles on these subjects.

The mixture is then injected into the mold under high pressure using an impinging mixer.
The mixture is allowed to sit in the mold long enough for it to expand and cure.
If reinforcing agents are added to the mixture then the process is known as reinforced reaction injection molding (RRIM).
Common reinforcing agents include glass fibers and mica.
This process is usually used to produce rigid foam automotive panels.
A subset of RIM is structural reaction injection molding (SRIM), which uses fiber meshes for the reinforcing agent.
The fiber mesh is first arranged in the mold and then the polymer mixture is injection molded over it.
The most common RIM processable material is polyurethane (known generally as PU-RIM), but others include polyureas, polyisocyanurates, polyesters, polyphenols, polyepoxides, and nylon 6.
surfactant, catalyst, and blowing agent.
RIM processed foam is that a high-density skin is formed with a low-density core.
Machined steel or aluminum; cast aluminum; silicone rubber; epoxy resin; nickel.
The machines can be large or small depending on the size of part required.

The 1959–60 British Home Championship football tournament was played by the British Home Nations throughout the 1959–60 season and was shared between three of the competing teams at the expense of Ireland. Football at the United Kingdom was at a low point in 1959 and 1960, following the failure of the national sides (except Wales and Ireland), to perform well in the 1958 FIFA World Cup two years before. A part of the problem involved the deaths of senior members of all four national sides at the Munich air disaster in early 1958. England had also suffered a further loss of confidence following poor form in a pre-season tour of the Americas, losing three games in a row to Brazil, Peru 4–1 and Mexico. An 8–1 victory over a weak United States in the final match did little to raise their spirits.

The title was shared between three teams who were unable to beat each other but all managed a victory over the hapless Irish. The Scots started well, with a 4–0 drubbing of their opponents in Belfast whilst the English and Welsh played out a tame draw. This set the tone for the tournament, with the Irish losing their subsequent matches with more respectable scorelines but still unable to gain a point. The Scots could not capitalise on their good start and were held by England and Wales in their subsequent matches whilst the Welsh took their draws and narrowly beat Ireland in their last match to claim their own third share of the title. Goal difference was not at this stage used to differentiate between the teams. if it had been, Scotland would have won with Wales and England again tied for second.
