Samsung thinks we need transparent OLED display panels
Have you ever been watching television thinking, "wouldn't it be great to simultaneously see what's going on behind my screen?" For all you know, your cat is doing something adorable and you're missing it! Samsung Display might be able to help in this quandary since the company has unveiled the first mirrored and transparent OLED display panels. Granted, they're for commercial use, so the company's priority is probably not your strange cat's antics, but that's where my mind first.
Say goodbye to image tears and stutter with FreeSync-enabled $600 LG monitor
Who says gaming gear has to be crazy expensive? Not LG and AMD, that's for sure, as the South Korean multinational conglomerate corporation and American semiconductor producer join forces to help smooth out 4K content in exchange for only $599.
Nvidia Shield Android TV available at $200, Shield Pro on deck for $100 extra
We expected Google to use this year's I/O conference as a launch ramp for a new Nexus Player or Chromecast (or maybe both), but what we didn't realize was the search giant's digital media streaming software already found its way inside the perfect hardware.
Meet the Lenovo Cast, a $49 puck-shaped Google Chromecast rival
You'd think there's not a lot of money to be made in rudimentary digital media players such as Google's Chromecast, but if that's the case, what's up with all the Amazons, Rokus and now Lenovos looking to erode the $30 video streamer's popularity?
Google Store slashes Nexus Player price, possibly hinting at imminent sequel
Powered by Android TV and running the newest 5.1 Lollipop iteration of Google's mobile OS, Google Cast-ready and offering full access to Netflix and Hulu Plus, as well as basic game-streaming capabilities, the Nexus Player is certainly richer in features than its Chromecast "cousin" or Amazon's Fire TV Stick.
ZRRO – Android gaming done right, or just the next OUYA?
Fact: mobile gaming is huge. Also fact: sometimes the convenience of playing games on a smartphone or tablet pales in comparison to playing on a console connected to a beautiful HDTV.
Imgur makes gif creation monumentally easier
Well, up until this point it was really difficult to create gifs. Just ask my coworker, Devon, who taught herself to make them. I don't have her patience. But now, Imgur launched Video to GIF which is as awesome and easy as it sounds.
Samsung puts out Tizen 'flood' warning, with focus on TVs and smart appliances
Why is Samsung so adamant to make the Linux-based Tizen operating system work, despite the critical opinion of most wireless carriers worldwide? Apparently, the platform is "lighter" than other OSes (cough, Android, cough), and eats up less processing power and memory, "thereby ensuring faster device speeds while consuming less energy."
Roku wants to stream on 4K televisions
With the growth of the 4K television market in the past two years, a large emphasis on the upgraded TVs at CES 2015 was unavoidable. Even though most large TV companies are getting into the 4K sector, 4K content is lacking. Roku has revealed an attempt to address that problem by making 4K content from more »
Amazon Fire TV stick competes with Chromecast, Roku
The Fire Phone has been a huge bust for Amazon, who is still sitting on $83 million worth of unsold phones. They can't even give them away, even for next to nothing. It's a shame. But, of course, the marketplace giant always has irons in the fire, and it's latest is sure to bring that bottom line back up.
Google Nexus Player back on sale, Nexus 6 pre-orders kick off October 29
One of the more surprising recent Google releases, the Nexus Player set-top box, and perhaps the most predictable in a while, the Nexus 6 phablet, are expected to roll out to end users at around the same time.

A Brief History
Working with a Realtor in West Stockbridge, we identified, three mostly empty mill buildings and six open acres of land on the East side of the Housatonic River to be developed as artist lofts and affordable housing units thereby creating a new town center for this mostly abandoned section of town. The three buildings we were interested in were, at that point, for sale at reasonable prices. We produced a video of our proposed plan for this multifaceted development. In addition to the housing aspect, the plan included a mixture of diverse uses. Restaurants, small shops and/or offices at "sidewalk" level which would ensure 24 hr safety and help develop a feeling of community. A space was reserved for a museum or large gallery. It was a first take on a long path to a master plan for the village of Housatonic. The appearance in town of a south Florida developer who promised to redesign the Housatonic downtown area immediately raised the prices on all three of the buildings under consideration by our New York developer and the project was put on hold. We still hope that the project will one day take shape in Housatonic.

I saw this post on Food52's site yesterday and thought it was such a great and useful idea for a week's worth of meals. Basically you make 2 batches of a delicious and punchy corn salad that includes ingredients such as bell pepper, fresh corn kernels, sriracha chilli sauce, lime, parsley and cheese. You then use this salad 6 different ways to make some really yummy weeknight meals.
Fresh corn is really good this time of year. It's natural sweetness works well with spicy flavors and it is also really nutritious. It contains nutrients such as lutein and zeaxanthin, two phytochemicals that promote healthy vision.
Happy reading and happy cooking too!

I am 16 and do regular exercise – I do ballet and other types of dancing for about four hours a week. I also do a lot of walking.
In the last two weeks I have started to get stretch marks all over my thighs, hips, breasts and the backs of my knees.
I am extremely worried because I haven't noticed a change in my weight. I am becoming very depressed and paranoid about the marks.
I am going on holiday in two months and the thought of getting into a swimming costume upsets me greatly.
If I went on a drastic diet, creamed and massaged my skin daily do you think they might disappear in two months?
I know this isn't a serious problem, but it is upsetting me so much.
It is understandable that at 16 you feel very conscious of these stretch marks, especially as you obviously take a lot of trouble to keep in good shape and are going on holiday in the near future.
However a drastic diet or spending lots of money on creams and massages will not do any good.
In fact, because massage kneads and pulls on the skin it could be counterproductive by putting the elastic tissues within the skin under even more pressure.
You are not overweight and this problem is not the result of anything in your lifestyle over which you can exert control.
Stretch marks are the result of the female sex hormone, oestrogen, working on skin tissues.
When oestrogen is produced in greater quantities, for example in puberty and pregnancy, their appearance becomes more likely.
Unfortunately some women are built genetically with thinner skin than other women, and are more susceptible to these changes.
Until now stretch marks were always considered irreversible and incurable, although new work using laser treatment has offered at least a chance of their improvement.
The treatment causes the production of larger amounts of thicker fibrous tissue under the stretch marks and this effectively improves their overall appearance and prevents further stretching.
Although the cost of private treatment to many different areas may prove prohibitive.
Yours sincerely

Nikole Hannah-Jones was named a MacArthur Genius Grant Fellow (one of only 24 people chosen, globally) for "reshaping national conversations around education reform" and for her reporting on racial re-segregation in our schools. This is the latest honor in a growing list: she's won a Peabody, a Polk, and a National Magazine Award for her story on choosing a school for her daughter in a segregated city.
"Education and housing are the two most intimate areas of American life, and they're the areas where we've made the least progress."— Nikole Hannah-Jones
Nikole Hannah-Jones covers racial injustice for The New York Times Magazine, and has spent years chronicling the way official policy has created—and maintains—racial segregation in housing and schools. Her deeply personal reports on the black experience in America offer a compelling case for greater equity. She has written extensively on the history of racism, school resegregation, and the disarray of hundreds of desegregation orders, as well as the decades-long failure of the federal government to enforce the landmark 1968 Fair Housing Act. She is currently writing a book on school segregation called The Problem We All Live With, to be published on the One World imprint of Penguin/Random House.
Her piece "Worlds Apart" in The New York Times Magazine won the National Magazine Award for "journalism that illuminates issues of national importance" as well as the Hillman Prize for Magazine Journalism. In 2016, she was awarded a Peabody Award and George Polk Award for radio reporting for her This American Life story, "The Problem We All Live With." She was named Journalist of the Year by the National Association of Black Journalists, and was also named to 2019's The Root 100 as well as Essenece's Woke 100. Her reporting has also won Deadline Club Awards, Online Journalism Awards, the Sigma Delta Chi Award for Public Service, the Fred M. Hechinger Grand Prize for Distinguished Education Reporting, the Emerson College President's Award for Civic Leadership, and was a previous finalist for the National Magazine Award.
"Nikole has done powerful work exploring the fight for all Americans, especially people of color, to achieve the 'American Dream.' Educational and economic opportunities are part of that dream. She used her investigative reporting skills to shine light where it was needed most, and to bring the issues of race and impropriety to the forefront. She is most worthy of NABJ's highest honor."— National Association of Black Journalists President Bob Butler
Hannah-Jones co-founded the Ida B. Wells Society for Investigative Reporting with the goal of increasing the number of reporters and editors of color. She holds a Master of Arts in Mass Communication from the University of North Carolina and earned her BA in History and African-American studies from the University of Notre Dame. For the Institute for Advanced Journalism Studies, she investigated social changes under Raul Castro and the impact of universal healthcare on Cuba's educational system. She was also selected by the University of Pennsylvania to report on the impact of the Watts Riots for a study marking the 40th anniversary of the Kerner Commission report. Along with The New York Times, her reporting has been featured in ProPublica, The Atlantic Magazine, Huffington Post, Essence Magazine, The Week Magazine, Grist, Politico Magazine, and on Face the Nation, This American Life, NPR, The Tom Joyner Morning Show, MSNBC, C-SPAN, Democracy Now, and radio stations across the country.
"Nikole was awesome! Everyone really enjoyed her honesty and her ability to discuss a tough topic with ease. We had rave reviews about her and the event."The United Way, Salt Lake City
"It was truly a great event and Nikole was fantastic like I knew she would be. Our attendees left awakened and inspired and better educators because of it."International Literacy Association

Page count: 337 pages
Format: B/5
Category: in Hungarian and English
Series: edition 2.0
Original price: 3900 Ft
Keywords: copyright, piracy, intellectual property, informal media markets, social history, printing, communications history, peer-to-peer, file-sharing.
This book uncovers the role of copyright piracy in various cultural ecosystems from the 17th century England to 21st century Hungary in order to understand current file-sharing piracy. Unlike current discourse on piracy, this work addresses (peer-to-peer) piracy not as a legal problem, nor as an economic plague, but rather as a social phenomenon that is neither new, nor exceptional in the development of cultural markets. The longer historical lens detailed in the book suggests that the current crisis of copyright, piracy, and enforcement has much in common with earlier periods of technological change and conflict among cultural producers. The book argues that piracy is not just a drain on the cultural economy, but a powerful productive force whose legacy in social relations will stay with us long after the economic conditions that called it into being – and the power vacuum that enabled it – have passed.
The texts offers answers for the following questions: who were branded as pirates in the history of print capitalism? What common characteristics they share across different times and places? What was their role in local markets? What factors caused their appearance? What factors sustained their existence? What factors led to their extinctions, if any? The book discusses these questions in a social history framework.
Target groups: intellectual property experts, professionals working on the cultural industries and media, policymakers, academics, non-professional, semi professional culture producers, everyday file-sharers

The Uniform Crime Report (UCR) program has been developed by the Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Reporting Program. This is a program of law enforcement agencies that voluntarily report data on crimes brought to their attention. Annual data is useful for studying crime in the US. This data however, is not very useful for comparison with data from other countries.

Gendler V. State of Washington / 2010
SEATTLE TIMES: Injured cyclist would trade $8 million settlement to get his life back, October 2010
SEATTLE TIMES: Cyclist paralyzed in crash sues state, February 2009
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER: WSDOT to pay $8 million over Montlake Bridge bike accident
$8,000,000 settlement for a defective bridge where a gap in the bridge deck was too wide, allowing a bicycle tire to wedge in the gap, throwing the rider to the ground and paralyzing him.
You may have heard an interview on NPR, read a blog post, or read a story in The Seattle Times about this case. In the era of media spin and 15-second sound bites, it's more often that we are forced to make assessments without the benefit of the facts. What apparently outraged some was the $8 million settlement. If you are interested in knowing the facts behind the story, read on. Make, remake, or confirm your opinion of what this case was about.
Government Liability
Washington State owns the Montlake Bridge. Washington State has a duty to make all roadways safe for bicyclists in addition to cars/all motor vehicles. The roadway across the Montlake Bridge was unsafe for bicycles. The State knew this, yet chose to do nothing to make it safer. No other business or government entity was responsible for the safety of the Bridge besides the State.
The Montlake Bridge
Since 1999, the Montlake Bridge had been unsafe for cyclists (the State repaired the hazard in 2009). Washington State started a retrofit of the Montlake Bridge in Seattle. The project included replacing the metal grate surface of the traffic lanes. The replacement grate was of a different design than the existing. The seam, formed by two abutting sections of grate, sits in the middle of the lanes of traffic. The specifications for the Bridge deck called for a narrow seam, one that would not have posed a danger to bicycle tires. The State allowed the deck seam to be wider than the specifications called for (based on tolerances), wide enough for a road bike tire to drop into it.
1999 - Notice to the State of a Danger
During the deck replacement project, the State found out how dangerous the seam could be. A cyclist crashed when his front bicycle tire wedged in the seam and he was thrown to the deck face-first. Concerned about other cyclists, he contacted the City of Seattle, who contacted the State's project manager to inspect the problem. The State's project manager made a note about the crash in his project diary.
1999 to 2009 - The State Ignored the Danger
- The State' project manager does not recall ever following up.
- The State could have erected a warning sign – it did not.
- The State could have fixed the problem – it assumed this would not happen again.
- The State could have closed the roadway to bicycle traffic – it did not.
Mickey's Crash - October 28, 2007
Mickey met up with a friend to go for a ride around the south end of Lake Washington. They intersected near UW Medical Center. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon on Montlake, not much traffic, so they traveled on the road. There was no traffic within a block's length behind them. Mickey rode in the right lane. Halfway across the Bridge he switched to the left lane to prepare for a left turn. As he traversed the lane, he was suddenly thrown over his front bars onto the Bridge deck on his back. His front wheel had wedged into the seam in the deck. It took two people to dislodge the wheel.
Bicycles on the Bridge
In comments to the multiple articles written about Mickey's case, many were critical of his decision to ride on the roadway rather than on the sidewalk. This case settled in the months leading up to the trial date, but in pre-trial motions the court determined that Mickey had the right to ride on the roadway and that Mickey had the right to travel in the left lane because he was preparing for a turn.
- "[I]t is the ruling of this Court that bicycles are entitled to travel upon the Montlake Bridge roadway as a matter of law." Judge McPhee, February 16, 2010.
- "Plaintiff Michael Gendler's operation of his bicycle in the inside (left) lane of the Montlake Bridge at the time of the subject incident was authorized by law." Judge McPhee, May 28, 2010.
The Settlement Amount
What does $8 million mean? It's not winning the lottery. It's not a windfall. The settlement amount represents the exorbitant costs of the care for someone with a spinal cord injury. To learn more about Mickey's life as a quadriplegic, read this article.
The $8 million settlement was well justified, as it will help to cover exorbitant medical bills, ongoing medical care, 24/7 assistance, facility accommodations at home and at work, etc. However, proponents of legislation to reduce the frequently target the Gendler case because of the high settlement amount. We believe that most Washingtonians recognize the importance of keeping the government accountable, when government entities ignore safety issues that could ultimately result in catastrophic injuries to innocent citizens.

The co-founder of Belfast-based media social enterprise VIEWdigital Una Murphy has been selected as part of the WISE100 (Women in Social Enterprise 100), a new initiative from the NatWest SE100 Index.
The WISE 100 recognise 100 of the most inspiring and influential women in social enterprise, impact investment and social innovation. More than 250 women were nominated and a panel selected the first 100 women who will be part of the new network.
Brian Pelan, co-founder at VIEWdigital, said: "We at VIEWdigital are delighted that Una has been included in the new WISE 100 network of inspiring women. It is a marvellous recognition of her work establishing VIEWdigital as a social enterprise more than three years ago."
In the UK, 40 percent of social enterprises are led by women and organisers said the WISE 100 initiative "will help to inspire other sectors to diversify their workforce, bringing benefits not just to women but to business".
A spokeswoman added: "It's now an established fact that organisations with the most gender diversity outperform those with the least."
The first WISE100 women were announced at a special celebration event in London in mid October, at which gender inequality in the workplace was discussed. Peer-to-peer support among women in social enterprise will be one of the aims of the new network of women.
The new initiative will be brought to Westminster by Baroness Glenys Thornton, outgoing CEO of the Young Foundation.
Baroness Thornton, formerly the Labour Party's spokeswoman on Equalities and Women's Issues, said: "I'm leaving the Young Foundation to go back into parliament and I intend to make the all-party group on social enterprise one of my priorities when I get back there. And I also intend to ensure we pick up this mantle of the WISE100 and women in social enterprise in parliament. That's very important to me."
Nominations for the next WISE100 will open in Summer 2018 more details here: http://www.wise100.co.uk

NASHVILLE, TN — Last Saturday night John Rich, of the multi-platinum selling, superstar country music duo Big & Rich had plenty to celebrate. First, January 7th was his 43rd birthday. But the night before the birthday bash, John launched his own brand new liquor brand, Redneck Riviera Whiskey, to the media, distributors, family and friends at his private home. The release of this new spirit gives Big & Rich fans even more reasons to love this superstar twosome. This new whiskey is very friendly to the palate, as it has a rather 'vanilla honey-ish' taste to it. Makes a cool and mellow drink for whatever's your favorite recipe for a mixed drink. Guests gladly sampled, with big smiles on their faces. But before the public could taste a sample, John says the whiskey first met the approval of his 86-year-old grandmother, Granny Rich. "My Granny Rich is someone who drank whiskey decades longer than I have. She's someone I trust implicitly. I trust her taste and her opinion probably more than any other human being on the face of the earth," John proudly shared with his guests.
The flavorful whiskey brand was born via the collaborations between Eastside Distilling of Portland, Oregon, along with Rich and his team. Rich readily admits that it took several blendings and lots of tastings until the final product was just right to perfection. After the introduction of Redneck Riviera Whiskey, the real party began with live performances from Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson and Avenged Sevenfold.
But before the bands arrived, John Rich sat down with the Tribune to answer 5 Questions:
TRIBUNE: John, what a great birthday gift–launching your own whiskey. What does that feel like?
J. RICH: You know, it's a pretty exciting night. My birthday's really not the point of tonight, but we thought, 'What the hell, throw it in there!' It just kind of timed out like that. But to launch Redneck Riviera American Blended Whiskey tonight, that's something I've been working on for over a year with my distiller, and it's always been a dream of mine to put my hands on a whiskey. What would I do with it, you know? Knowing what I like and don't like about certain whiskeys, if I had ultimate control over it, what would it taste like? Well, it's one thing to know what you think it is, and it's another thing to actually accomplish it, get it into a bottle, and watch other people taste it and have that look on their face, and you go, "Bingo, that's it, what's what I was going for."
TRIBUNE: I understand that you and your team have created a 100% Made in the USA product. Is that true? J. RICH: Yes, that's what we've accomplished here. Redneck Riviera American Blended Whiskey is unlike any whiskey on a shelf anywhere. There is no such thing as American Blended Whiskey, which, a lot of people find that hard to believe, but if you think about it you go, "Well, what would it be? It's not there. It doesn't exist." So, I think we've really created something new and interesting, and even the glass that this whiskey is bottled in is made in the USA, which is also something that's very uncommon to find. So, it's a job creator, it holds true to the narrative of the brand, which is 'Work hard, play hard'. People did work hard on this whiskey, people are going to play hard with this whiskey, and I think we have absolutely knocked it over the fence.
TRIBUNE: Will this whiskey be sold when you guys go on tour, or what? J. RICH: Well, it's going to be sold, to start off, mainly in the south-east, but it's also in Oregon and a couple other places. But what we're finding is, the phone is ringing. When I say that, I mean like grocery store chains, major grocery store chains, and liquor stores, and other bars – Downtown Nashville, my phone rang today, and a guy that owns five bars down on Broadway said, "How do I get Redneck Whiskey in my bar?" And so, I said, "Let's hook you up." It's coming out of the gate just like a steam horse, and to think that it would be at our concerts in the future I think is an absolute yes. Of course, it will.
TRIBUNE: Yes, it must. What is your personal favorite mixed drink recipe with your whiskey? J. RICH: You know, I've got a whole menu of drinks. A guy named Stuart Melia – who's like a mixologist, just bad to the bone – has created an entire menu that's on redneckriviera.com for people to go check out. There's that, but for me, honestly, if you have to mix it with something to make it taste good it's probably not really great whiskey, so for me, I just kind of drink it on ice, or if I need a little caffeine I might splash a little coke on it or something like that, but that's about it. I can tell you when my Granny Rich drinks it, she doesn't drink it with anything. She'll just drink it neat, and she's 85, and she said, "That might be the smoothest whiskey I've ever drank," and she's been a whiskey drinker her entire life. It gives me the same kind of pride when people say that as it does when I watch somebody respond to a song I wrote that they like because a lot of creativity goes into what's in this bottle, what is that juice. There's a million different ways you could have done it, and we did it like that. And to see people enjoy it like they are is a great feeling for me to have.
TRIBUNE: Last question here, what is your personal or favorite remedy for a hangover? J. RICH: Favorite remedy for a hangover is to drink at least a quart of water before you get the hangover, right? So, if you know you're going to have one tomorrow, the best thing to do is drink a quart of water and take two Advil, and the fastest way to drink a quart of water, by the way, is a mason jar. Don't try to drink it out of the bottle. You drink it out of a mason jar and you'll drink it. A quart or two.

Sustainability Report 2016
Together we are strong: 50Hertz has been cooperating for many years with various participants from the field of renewable energies, climate and environmental protection, and harmonisation of the European electricity market. During the 2016 reporting period, we spent roughly EUR 3 million on research and development efforts. This was offset by EUR 0.3 million we received as public, non-repayable subsidies.
Together with various European environmental associations and other transmission system operators, we have founded the Renewables Grid Initiative (RGI), which supports grid expansion for the effective integration of renewables across Europe.
Beyond this, we have cooperated closely with the distribution system operators in our control area since 2014. Due to the already high penetra-tion of the control area by decentralized power generation systems, in particular renewables, new approaches to system and grid control are needed. We have formulated necessary developments in the system services sectors in a ten-point programme and are working on pilot solutions in joint project groups.
After two years of preparation, December 2016 marked the start of the joint project WindNODE, which we co-founded and is now being implemented under our consortium leadership. Around 50 project partners in the northern German model region will be working for four years on common solutions for integrating even larger amounts of renewables into the power system as efficiently as possible. The list of participants includes energy supply companies, distribution system operators and high-tech specialists, but also companies from the automotive industry, the supply and disposal sector, housing and retail enterprises, as well as universities and research institutions in the region. WindNODE encompasses all six east German states including Berlin and is under the auspices of the six state premiers and the mayor of Berlin. Even today, the region is the nationwide pioneer for the integration of volatile renewable energies – mathematically, nearly half of the in-fed energy already comes from clean energy resources. The companies Siemens and Stromnetz Berlin, as well as economic development agencies Berlin Partner, Energy Saxony and ZukunftsAgentur Brandenburg join 50Hertz in the strategic control of WindNODE.
We have established a scientific council for the purpose of regular exchanges between science and practice. The volunteer committee currently consists of 16 professors from the fields of energy technology, economy, law and politics. The council meets once or twice a year to discuss and assess current topics and future issues relevant to 50Hertz. An important aspect of its work is the initiation and execution of joint research and development projects and studies, as well as the supervision of dissertations, bachelor's and master's theses

LYNCHBURG, Va. - After picking up their first win in Middle Atlantic Conference play on Saturday night at home over Widener University the Stevenson field hockey wrapped up the non-conference portion of their schedule just two days later traveling to Lynchburg College. Unfortunately, Stevenson fell behind 2-0 just 18-minutes in and despite a goal from junior Emma Adams dropped the game to host Hornets by a score of 4-1 on Monday afternoon at Shellenberger Field.
- Lynchburg (6-5) recorded the first shots of the game a little over a minute in when Nikki Simpao had her attempt sail over the top of the cage guarded by junior Kelsey Eure. Simpao was back at it again with 3:25 elapsed, but this try was blocked by a group of visiting defenders.
- Over the next four minutes, it was all Stevenson (5-8) on the attack with senior Sara McVey getting four consecutive shots away over that span with every one of them being denied by Hornets keeper Laurel Nicks. The pressure continued with freshman Alexis Arruda recording a shot that was stopped by Nicks once again.
- The home side then embarked on the offensive push as Isabella Eldridge had a shot turned away by Eure in the 10th-minute. That led to back-to-back tries from Simpao going high and then wide keeping things scoreless with 14:40 gone in the first half.
- Lynchburg finally broke through in the 16th-minute when a shot by Kaylie Truitt was stopped by Eure, but the rebound skipped out to Kayla Copeman who knocked it past the keeper for a 1-0 lead. The Hornets made it 2-0 about two minutes later as Jackie Lerro got free in the shooting circle and beat Eure.
- Stevenson found themselves right back in it at the 22:33 mark when senior Ashley Meyer inserted a penalty corner to classmate Marissa Hoffman who let a shot fly towards the net that was tipped past Nicks by Adams to trim the margin to 2-1. The Mustangs had a chance to level the score a minute later after another penalty corner fed in by Meyer the blast from senior Alexis Young was steered away by Nicks.
- The Hornets looked to have recaptured their two-goal cushion with five minutes to go when Simpao had a shot get beyond the reach of Eure, but fortunately for the guests the ball was swept off the line by junior Jordan Hershberger keeping it 2-1 at the break.
- Through 35-minutes, Lynchburg had a small 9-7 shots advantage.
- The Hornets came out of the halftime rest strong recording the first seven shots of the frame in a ten-minute span which saw four different players take shots and caused Eure to make five saves.
- All that pressure was rewarded in the 51st-minute after the initial attempt off the stick of Simpao was stopped by Eure the continued to trickle under the goalkeeper's pads and was touched home by Eldridge for a 3-1 edge.
- Stevenson posted their opening attempts of half number two with 15-minutes to play as sophomore Brooke Morris had a shot saved by Nicks. The ensuing rebound was sent right back at goal by Young who was denied. Morris got one more crack at trimming the margin on the rebound from the Young attempt, but that too was stopped by the Hornets netminder.
- Lynchburg sensing the momentum starting to tip back towards the Mustangs took a timeout with eight minutes remaining to calm things down. That seemed to work as they went back to work offensively with Emily Dudley sending an offering wide of goal. Then with two minutes to play a penalty corner inserted by Copeman went to Taylor Jones who found Eldridge for a shot that found the back of the net making it 4-1.
- After a tightly contested opening, half Lynchburg pushed the play in the second period outshooting Stevenson 12-3 and 21-10 for the game.
- The Hornets also had a 10-3 edge in penalty corners.
- Eure was busy making nine saves on the afternoon giving her 74 for the year.
- Adams picked up her second goal of the campaign and fourth as a Mustang.
- Stevenson concluded the non-conference portion of the schedule with a 4-6 mark.
- The Mustangs will return to MAC Commonwealth play on Saturday, October 13 when they wrap-up their two-game road trip as they travel to Glenside, Pa. to square off with the Arcadia University Knights for a 12pm start.

If I Were A Kind of Flower
A children's monologue
By Tara Meddaugh
© 2018
Anibel, a girl, around 5-10 years old, speaks to her older sister (who is in her early 20s and attends college). They are at a café. Anibel expresses joy that her newly planted daffodils actually came up for the first year, but also expresses concern that they will die in the Spring snowstorm. Her mother has faith in the daffodil's strength, but Anibel is not so certain. She imagines how she would respond to the snow, if she were a daffodil.
Genre: COMEDY/CHILDREN/PRETEEN/TWEEN
Cast: FEMALE (male)
Setting: A CAFE
Age range: 5-11
Length: Approximately 2 minutes
If I were a flavor of ice cream, I'd definitely choose strawberry, but I would have to have sprinkles and not just the rainbow sprinkles for ice cream, but like, cupcake sprinkles. Shaped like strawberries. And I really wanna eat ice cream outside, but you know there's still snow at our house, and it feels weird to eat ice cream outside in the snow. Do you know the daffodils I planted last year actually came up? They did! I was like—What are these little yellow hats doing in the grass, and then I was like, They're not hats, Anibel! They're your daffodils! It worked! I planted them with Mom and she said they would come up and I didn't believe her but they did come up! But then now, there's all this snow covering them, and really it's already Spring, and it's not right, but the world gets weirder and weirder.
I don't want my daffodils to die…
Mom gave me this long hug this morning and said it was okay to cry, because I already was—but that daffodils are really strong and excited for Spring, like me, and that's why they come up so quickly after Winter. And she thinks they'll survive the snow.
I don't know if I believe her, but if I were a daffodil, I would...

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that all children see a dentist sometime between the eruption of the first tooth, which happens around 6 months of age, and the child's first birthday. This is a critical time for child dental care because we are able to educate children and their parents on proper oral hygiene and other healthy habits before serious dental problems occur. Bringing your child to see our Houston dentist for kids as early as possible helps set them on the right path for a lifetime of great oral health.
Our staff and dentists strive to make dental care for children comfortable and fun. We are happy to give your children a tour of the office, show them the different instruments we use, and explain the dental examination in terms they can understand so that the whole process is less scary. When your child feels relaxed and safe, we will ask permission to perform the exam, which consists of visually examining the teeth, jaws, and soft tissues of the mouth for abnormalities. Depending on the child's age and unique oral health issues, we may also take X-rays, clean the teeth, and administer a fluoride treatment.
As a parent, you are the primary supervisor of your child's oral health, and we want to help you perform that job as effectively as possible. That is why our Houston dentist and hygienist staff will educate you on the following:
When you choose Smile Sonrisa Dental, you are choosing a Houston family dentist team that can help your child maintain a healthy smile through every milestone in life. Additionally, our Houston orthodontics specialists are on hand to help prevent and correct tooth alignment issues when the time is right. For comprehensive dental care in one convenient location, schedule your child's appointment today.

The Sturgeon River is a 106 mile long wild, raging river with some pretty amazing waterfalls. One such waterfall is Canyon Falls, called such for a good reason.
Canyon Falls is located at a scenic rest stop on US-41, making it a fairly well known and visited waterfall. At roughly 15 feet in height and within a mile or so walking distance, its easy to see why so many people stop to see it.
However, this trip we went further (despite the rain and threat of a possible thunderstorm). Literally. The easy going trail ends at Canyon Falls but the real beauty is what lies past. The "trail" becomes rough to non existent as we made our way past massive rock structures; along towering gorges; past rumbling rapids; and ending at Upper Falls. A perfect way to spend an afternoon.
Gorges carved by swift rivers are kind of our thing, and the Sturgeon River has yet to disappoint. I, for one, am looking forward to exploring more of this wild river

Honda Civic 'finished' by Foote Cone & Belding
AdvertiserHonda Australia
AgencyFoote Cone & Belding
Honda is famous for its UK advertising, but this Australian spot proves that it is willing to take brave steps in other markets too. The campaign, by Foote Cone & Belding, promotes the new Honda Civic and its sense of having a great finish with an ad that shows it driving through a world were everything else is unfinished. The car is shown travelling past unfinished buildings, zebra crossings, street signs and a baby in a frame-work stroller. The unfinished world is completed as the Civic passes an unfinished sports field with a frame-work billboard in the background. The spot ends on the line "The new generation Civic. Nothing else feels as finished."

It's been a while since the Dylan McGuire Band has done a public performance - we've spent most of the year focused on doing mainly private events and I've been busy doing solo gigs. But we're going to be kicking off the holidays at a great pub in Aston -- Gatsby's Bar and Grill. As usual, I will be joined by Steve and Doug and we will be welcoming special guest Scott Reichert on guitar (as well as whoever else shows up and wants to jam). We'll be playing from 9-1. Best of all there is no cover and Gatsby's has great food, so you can bring a guest (of the whole family!) and stick around for the music. We'll be doing a mix of covers and original music.
Hope to see you there as we celebrate a great 2018.

Bengaluru, Aug 14:
Rookie Amandeep Drall staved off a strong challenge from Neha Tripathi and Vani Kapoor, carding 2 over 73 to walk away with her second professional title after the final round of the Rs.5 lakh 14th leg of the Hero Women's Professional Golf Tour at the Clover Greens here on Friday.
Overnight leader Amandeep, who fired a career best score of 6-under on Thursday, could not emulate her second round performance. Her round consisted of a lone birdie on the 17th hole and three bogeys on the third, ninth and 14th.
This effort was, however, still good enough for her to win her second title of the year. The Panchkula professional ended with a total score of 208 after 54 holes to give her a slender one stroke victory over Kolkata's Neha, who finished with 209.
Neha, who started the day in third position came up with an effort of 1 under 71, the only under par score of the day. She started cautiously and carded a birdie on the second along with two bogeys on the third and fourth in her front nine.
She became more aggressive as the day progressed and started her back nine with a birdie on the 10th followed by an eagle on the 12th. She carded one more birdie on the 17th and needed a par on the last hole to pip Amandeep.
However, she faltered, something which she has been guilty of on several occasions this season and carded a double bogey on the 18th to quash her bid for her first title of the year. Two eagles were carded on the day, the second one by Priya Puri on the second.
Order of Merit leader Vani ended with a score of 210 to finish third. She carded three birdies on the second, 14th, and 15th but bogeys on the third, fourth, 16th and 18th undid her good work and she returned with a card of 1 over 72.
Sharmila Nicollet carded 1 over 72 in the final round to finish fourth. The Bengaluru golfer carded three birdies on the third, 10th and 11th. However, bogeys on the 14th and 17th and a double on the seventh meant she finished with 213 to continue her title drought this season.
Kapurthala's Gursimar Badwal and Pune's Shweta Galande ended tied fifth with identical scores of 223. Gursimar started with a birdie on the first hole but could not sustain the momentum and dropped five shots on the fifth, seventh, 11th, 12th and 14th. She ended with a birdie on the 15th to return with 3 over 74.
Shweta, winner here in 2013, played an error-prone round with a lone birdie on the fourth along with bogeys on the ninth, 11th, 15th and 18th. A double on the seventh added to her woes and she returned with a card of 5 over 76.
Delhi's Gauri Monga finished with 224 to end seventh. Her round of 5 over 76 consisted of two birdies as against three bogeys and two double bogeys.
Delhi's Ankita Tiwana and Trisha Sunil of Bengaluru finished with identical totals of 225 to tie for eighth. (IANS)

(AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast) View 2 more images (Newser) – Chicago Bears running back Cedric Benson was booked in Austin, Texas on Saturday night for boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest, the Chicago Tribune reports. The former Texas Longhorn denies all charges and alleges that police acted improperly in macing him without provocation. Bears coach Lovie Smith said he was "disappointed," but reserving judgment until more details surface. "This is tough to deal with because you're guilty until proven innocent," Benson said. "My name is blasted out there like I was fighting these police officers or something. That totally was not the deal. I'm not stupid." Calling the officers' actions unjust, Benson's lawyer vowed to "resolve this." Each charge carries a possible $2,000 fine and 6 months in jail. (Read more NFL stories.)

If there is one thing that stands out about this wedding, it would be the amount of genuine emotion and authentic exchanges that I witnessed. Jocelyne and Paul wear their hearts on their sleeves and the celebration of their love for one another was an absolute joy to watch! From start to finish, this day was a ton of fun and absolutely gorgeous. Capturing their story was a true honour for me.
After some getting ready photos, the ladies and the guys met up for photos in St. Boniface. When Paul saw Jocelyne for the first time, it was absolutely priceless! I don't think there was a single dry eye around, including mine!
"The photography was definitely the most fun part of our day (besides dancing the night away). Gabrielle made the experience so personal, and captured some amazing photos (she has an eye that captures the little moments that mean so much)." – Jocelyne & Paul
"We definitely have a few favourite photos, one of them including this one of us holding hands in front of the Virginia creeper. We love the Fall colours in this photo and we love how happy and glowing we are!"
After the first look and a few photos at the Archbishop's Residence in St. Boniface, we headed to the Exchange District for a few more bride & groom photos at the historic Hamilton Building.
"Our day was so perfect, that it's hard to pinpoint one part specifically that was the most memorable. Our first look was full of emotions. Our ride, the 1947 Cadillac definitely stands out. Also spending the afternoon with our fantastic wedding party and having a chance to stop and have lunch with them at Peg Beer Co. was very memorable."
"Gabrielle was really open to our suggestions and worked with us to make sure every moment was perfect. She ensured we were following our time schedule for our day but we didn't feel rushed at all.
Our day seemed to go so smoothly for us and everything fell into place perfectly. We enjoyed and savoured every moment!" – Jocelyne & Paul
"Some of our favourite photos include the moments of us crying post ceremony – they are so adorable, emotional and heartwarming."
"The theme of our wedding was birds and trees (some of our passions) and we also wanted a timeless, classic look. We wanted to look back at our photos 40 years from now and know that we didn't choose what was popular or in style for weddings in 2016.
We love all the photos – Gabrielle captured our perfect day so beautifully!" – Jocelyne & Paul


text: The amenities are nice, but the real star of the show at Mayfair County Club is the course layout, which was designed in the early 1920s. It is an open layout that is perfect for novice players and experts alike. This course is guaranteed to challenge all players with the strategic layout and the clever positioning of hazards and trees. Our fairways tend to be wider (as is typical of classic course designs), however, the approaches are forgiving enough to ensure that all players will feel competitive as they navigate these grounds. Water comes into play on more than half of our 18 holes.

Today I noticed a second, astonishing wonder in my garden this year. The first wonder I noticed several weeks ago–I had a globe artichoke overwinter. If you are not familiar with the ways of the globe artichoke, allow me to elaborate briefly. Where I live in Montana, we are a Zone 4. That means, on average, our lowest winter temperature drops no lower than -30 degrees F. This year we bottomed out our thermometer at -21.8 degrees F, so I have no idea how cold it really got this year (I think I saw -26 reported for the airport, which is a few hundred feel lower than where I sit). However, despite the bitter cold (and we had a lot of it this year), we also had a really good snow year. For about 3 continuous months we had snow on the ground, and a lot of it. Snow is an excellent insulator, so things that would normally die in the cold can be protected enough with a snow blanket to coax them through a long, bitterly cold winter. Enter the globe artichoke. Last fall I dug up several plants, potted them, and tucked them in a corner in the basement. By overwintering my little babies, I wouldn't have to start seed in January in order to plant them out in early spring to 'trick' them into thinking they had lived through a winter and thus flower (i.e., produce those luscious artichokes) during their first year of life. For the record, artichokes are perennial plants in warm climates (no colder than Zone 7, which is about 0 degrees F as the average coldest winter temperatures) and they usually do not flower until their second year. Well, I missed digging up a plant last fall and earlier this spring while removing mulch from the garden beds, I noticed a queer-looking little leaf sticking out of the soil. "That's weird," I thought, "it looks like an artichoke. Maybe it's a thistle?" But it sure didn't look like a thistle, it looked like an artichoke. And it was in the bed I had planted artichokes in last year. Hmmmm……
I watched the strange leaf for a week or so and when new leaves began to appear, it became obvious to me that this was, in fact, an artichoke that survived a bitter cold Montana winter. HOW COOL IS THAT?! I yelled to everyone who would listen. Other garden nerds thought that, indeed, it was pretty cool. I thought this was the coolest thing in my garden…until today.
Today I was weeding a bed with a bunch of spinach and garlic and I saw this:
Now I'm no mushroom expert, but my first thought was, "Those look like morels." And then, "That's crazy talk." Fortunately my neighbors, who I know are wild mushroom hunters, were outside in their garden. I walked across the street.
Me: Hey guys, do you know your mushrooms pretty well?
Neighbor: Well, we know a few edible ones that we hunt for, and a few that you shouldn't eat.
Me: I have some mushrooms popping up in my garden box and [I was almost too embarrassed to say this] they sort of look like morels.
Neighbor: Well…probably not, but we'll come take a look.
At this point I am 1) curious as hell to know what these mushrooms are and 2) a little embarrassed to think that I might actually have morels in my garden box. I mean, c'mon! I think of them growing in the forest–particularly forests that have recently burned. Not in a cultivated garden box that housed tomato plants last summer. Did I confuse them with another mushroom? Was I a complete and total idiot? We arrive at the garden box.
Me: See all these coming up around my spinach?
Neighbor: Well I'll be darned, those are morels!
He plucks a mushroom and turns it over.
Neighbor: There's another mushroom that looks similar, but that one is detached here at the base (he points to the stem). These are definitely morels. Wow! Where did you get your mulch?
Me: Someone at the gym had some pine needles he was going to set out by the curb and I just happened to overhear him talking about them with another person at the gym. I asked him if I could have them to use for mulch in the garden.
Neighbor: Wow! That's pretty unusual. Amazing!
Me: Schew! I thought I was crazy for thinking that they were morels. Please take as many as you want!
Neighbor: Wow! Thanks! What an unexpected surprise! You probably shouldn't tell any mushroom hunters about these…
Me: Yeah, no kidding! Some people search high and low for these gems!
My neighbor came back over a few minutes later with a paper bag and cut some mushrooms. She showed me which ones were the prime ones for eating and which ones were probably too dried out and past their prime. I am sooooo grateful for them! I learned something new today about mushrooms! These neighbors have shared their hard-sought Chanterelles with me in the past, they share garden plants, and garden mulch/compost/soil. I provide them with eggs, garlic, and now, morels! We have a pretty nice arrangement, but I always feel like I get the better end of the deal. I know I shouldn't feel that way–it's just farmgal kindness between garden nerds–and gardeners love to share (especially that zucchini)!
I'm not 100% sure the pine needles were the source of the morels. I have other boxes with the pine mulch and they do not appear to have any mushrooms in them. I don't think it was the soil, which is a sheep manure-compost mix I get from a local garden shop. I don't think it was the soil the tomatoes were grown in last year–though I should ask the gifter where they got their potting soil, just to be sure. The pine needles seem the most likely source. Many of the mushrooms were past their prime, but that means they have already set spores–so I am hoping for more morels to show up next spring!
I can't help but think over and over how special my garden is. Nature is a wonderful, mysterious force, that's for sure. What a neat gift to have these much sought-after mushrooms appear in my garden!! Secret: I have never eaten morels. Which makes this all the more special. I am beyond giddy for tonight's dinner: morels and fresh asparagus. I've got plenty of spinach in the garden and eggs, so I'm sure I'll be able to find a scrumptious way to prepare these ingredients. I'm going to eat like a queen!

The August 10, 2014, presidential election in Turkey marks the first time voters will be able to directly elect their president. Current Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who has held power since 2002, is one of several candidates. Many factors will shape the outcome of the elections: domestic problems such as the economy, infrastructure, and corruption, as well as external issues, such as energy transit and the crisis in Syria.
In this policy brief, Global Europe Program Global Fellow Bülent Aras, along with Yasin Duman, explores one of the most important factors: the "Kurdish Question." Will the new president continue Erdoğan's work of moving towards a resolution to the protracted conflict? What would such a resolution entail? The authors note: "The notion of peace rarely has the same meaning to the conflicting parties. It changes according to their needs, expectations and positions, etc. This notion becomes more complex when there are also ethnic, political, ideological, and economic issues involved in the conflict." Ongoing negotiations came to a standstill in 2013 over internal divisions, but progress could be made following the elections. Ultimately, "if successful, the forerunners of the peace process could write a new narrative for Turkey – one marked by peace for the country and its proud peoples, and with the potential for considerable positive spillover and impact throughout the region."
The full text of "The Kurdish Peace Process and Presidential Elections in Turkey" can be read below.

Alf McCreary: Where are today's strong leaders to build on our hopes from 20 years ago?
Most people can recall what they were doing when the historic Good Friday Agreement was announced on April 10, 1998.
I was in the midst of a career turning point as I prepared to leave Queen's University after 14 crowded years as its first information director and return to full-time writing.
My first reaction was that the GFA would make life less difficult at Queen's for the new vice-chancellor professor George Bain compared to his predecessor Professor Sir Gordon Beveridge.
Sir Gordon was a good man, but too sensitive for the academic jungle at Queen's. He and I had to face huge PR problems including the dropping of the national anthem at Queen's, as well as a fair employment imbalance, but somehow we managed to pull through.
However, my overriding emotion on April 10, 1998 was one of relief that the GFA was signed and that this might herald the beginning of the end of Northern Ireland's self-inflicted crucifixion.
I did not think of the collective role of the churches, but of the individuals who had given the churches a path to peace.
One such person was the founder of Corrymeela the Rev Dr Ray Davey, a Presbyterian minister who was light years ahead in his hard-headed vision of reconciliation.
Please log in or register with belfasttelegraph.co.uk for free access to this article.
He and colleagues like the Rev John Morrow, another Presbyterian, were not supported wholeheartedly by the rank and file of the church - many of whom regarded reconciliation as a sign of weakness rather than of strength.
Another Corrymeela veteran, the Rev Harold Good, worked hard for many years, and still does, to build bridges.
He became Methodist president and deservedly was awarded the World Methodist Peace Prize.
The late senator Gordon Wilson, another Methodist, spoke out powerfully for a "lack of ill-will" after his daughter Marie, and 10 other innocent people, were murdered in a no-warning IRA explosion at the Enniskillen Cenotaph in 1987.
Sometime later a frail Gordon Wilson had the courage to confront Provisional IRA members in a hideout in Donegal.
He was distressed by the hard faces he encountered, but we will never fully know how much his agony as a bereaved father helped to pave the way towards peace.
Many others played a courageous role, including the Protestant clerics who showed leadership by secretly meeting Provisional IRA leaders at Feakle in Co Clare in 1974. The meeting ended in farce when the Gardai raided the hotel where they met, and the Provisionals made a hasty retreat.
The church leaders included the Presbyterian general secretary the Rev Dr Jack Weir, the Anglican Bishop of Connor Arthur Butler and Canon Bill Arlow, assistant secretary of the Irish Council of Churches - all of whom were criticised for their initiative.
In another context, Archbishop Robin Eames, the Anglican primate, and Dr Cahal Daly, his Roman Catholic counterpart, also showed steadfastness in displaying publicly their solidarity, but this was sorely tested during one of the terrible Drumcree stand-offs.
Another former Presbyterian moderator, the Rev Dr Ken Newell, formed a productive peace-making initiative with Fr Gerry Reynolds of Clonard.
It is invidious to mention individuals because I am sure that there were and are people I have inadvertently left out.
However, it is sufficient to note that there were many clergy and laity in the churches who contributed individually to making peace a reality.
Sometimes all the credit is given to the major politicians like Sir John Major and Albert Reynolds, as well Tony Blair, Bertie Ahern, Bill Clinton, George Mitchell and many others, including John Hume and David Trimble.
However, let's not forget the clerics and church members who also played their part and are often overlooked still.
The search for a lasting peace goes on and we still need strong leadership from all sides - including the churches - to prevent our hopes from 20 years ago being buried in the ashes of sectarianism which has been the plague of Irish and Anglo-Irish history. Sadly, where are the big leaders today?

Simple dog Training Tip:
This little video (see link at end of article). came to me this morning just shortly after breathing a sigh of relief when my dog Gigi came running back to me from nearly a 1/4 mile away after having her "shit eating" party with the neighbor's horse. Yum. But yuk. Despite her party she came a runnin'. But in that moment before I had my doubts and realized that I could be using a better method for "come". What if she couldn't hear me for the distance between us?
We live out in the country, in case you didn't know. And, sometimes my dogs hang out front of our house, without a fence, watching the property. The only reason I wasn't freaked out was because I know that this particular dog comes to me well. In her case I sing out her name "Gigila come". I have to squat down to get the quickest response. At that she will come running from nearly a quarter mile away. It is interesting that she does better when I kneel down. I guess I got this going when I started refusing to "go to" the dogs when I called them and they didn't come. I would stand still and crouch down with the leashes in my hand. I also sometimes clank the leashes together. You know those extentible leashes with the hard retractable casing. I click on the case. Works well. So, without thought, I have been doing this for a while and now I notice that Gigi associates me calling her to come with crouching down and that means to her also that it is time for a walk. So, herewith, this video. I know you can incorporate new tools into training at any time. Just be consistant and patient. I am going to get a whistle myself. I will use it first in addition to my other "come" commands. But eventaully, I should be able to only whislte. This will be great for long distances, and also for short simple calls at meal time. Sometimes it seems silly how many names I am calling out for everyone to come. Good idea Leerburg.com. Whistle time! Enjoy this website, a wealth of information. 🙂
