Earlier today Canon introduced its answer to the growing full frame mirrorless market – the EOS-R camera (and system). Together with 4 new lenses, 3 new adaptors, and even a compact flash. Alongside all of this Canon also introduced two fast long telephoto EF lenses and a new fast EF-M lens.
After the recent Nikon Z6/Z7 announcement, Canon had to respond and it did. Before we dive deep into the specs of the new camera and system it is important to clarify something important about the EOS-R. This is not intended to be a high-end pro camera (like the Nikon Z7 or Sony A7RIII for example). This is more of a prosumer model similar in some respects to the 6D MKII (although it does share some features with the 5D IV like the sensor).
The new EOS-R
Now that we got this out of the way let's start with some specs – and there are a lot of those:
- 30MP CMOS sensor (just like the one on the 5D IV).
- DIGIC 8 Image processing engine.
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF system for video.
- 5655 AF Points. -6 EV low light AF.
- 1/8000-30 sec shutter (with silent shutter mode).
- Shooting speed – max. 8fps /5fps with AF Tracking speed / 3fps with tracking priority (buffer maintained for 100 JPEG, 47 RAW, 78 C-RAW images).
- 3.69M-dot OLED viewfinder with 100% coverage and 0.76x magnification.
- 3.1″ LCD with 2.1 million dot articulated touchscreen.
- OLED top monitor.
- 1 SD UHS-II card slot.
- 4K 30p video (1.7x crop); 1080p 60p and 720p 120p.
- ALL-I and IPB compression, with top bit rates of 420Mbps and 120Mbps.
- USB-C, Wi-Fi system & Bluetooth.
- Mic/headphone/USB-C/mini HDMI.
- 8K Time-Lapse Mode.
- Dust and moisture resistant (similar to the 6D MKII).
- Price: body only $2300; $3300 with 24-120mm f/4.

As for lenses, Canon didn't release any roadmap (like Nikon did) but it did release 4 new lenses (the kit lens will be available right away and the 3 other closer to the end of 2018). Here are the lenses:
- RF 28-70mm F2L USM – ultra fast-series zoom lens but quite large and heavy (1.4kg) and expensive ($3000).
- RF 24-105mm F4 – the kit lens of the EOS-R – will be available with the camera in October or alone for $1100.
- RF 50mm F1.2 – large and fast 50mm lens, weighing at around 950 grams and costing $2300.
- RF 35mm F1.8 – small and light wide lens selling for $500.
There will also be 3 different EF-EOS-R adaptors:
- EF-EOS R -the basic one ($99).
- Ring Mount Adapter EF-EOS R – adds a ring which is similar to the basic but with a customizable control ring). this will come next year and sell for $199.
- Drop-in Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R – same as the ring adaptor but also has drop in filter and comes with a veri-ND and will sell for $299.
The new Drop-in Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R
Besides that, there is the new tiny Canon Speedlite EL-100 that will sell for $200 (the EOS-R has no built-in flash).
There will also be 3 non-EOS-R related lens announcements:
- EF 400mm F2.8L IS III USM – New fast telephoto that is the lightest in its class with a new 5 stop stabilizer and 9 aperture blades selling for $12K (starting from December 2018).
- EF 600mm F4L IS III USM – Another ultra "light" long telephoto with similar improvements selling for $13k from December 2018.
The new, lighter EF 600mm F4L IS III USM
- EF-M 32mm F1.4 STM – tiny 250 grams fast APS-C lens for the EF-M line that will sell for $480.
The new 400mm/600mm lenses

I'm hoping for IMX260 or IMX377, probably the two best smartphone chips on the market today; if the nominal rated size of the main chip is "1/2.6" at 12 MP, the closest match I'm aware of in the Exmor lineup would be the 260 given unless its something brand new, that's the closet match to the specs given (at ~1/2.5 and 12 MP), and Sony only makes a few 1/2.6 chips, none near 12 MP, as well as the 260 being the sensor used in the also dual camera V10. I can't see any obvious candidates for the second sensor; the only 1/3.2 sensors Sony has are the 8 MPs. And I don't see any discussion of the front sensor here, though perhaps I'm just missing it.

The Rapid Transit Series (RTS) city bus was a long-running series of transit buses originally manufactured by GMC Truck and Coach Division during 1977, in Pontiac, Michigan. First produced in 1977, the RTS was GMC's entry into the Advanced Design Bus project (the other entry was the Grumman 870 by competitor Flxible) and is the descendant of GMC's entry in the U.S. Department of Transportation's "Transbus" project. The RTS is notable for its then futuristic styling featuring automobile-like curved body and window panels. That design has become a classic, though remains more contemporary as that of its predecessor, the GMC New Look which had a curved windshield, but flat side glass and body panels. Most current buses are now made by specialized coach manufacturers with flat sides and windows.
In September 1985 GMC announced that due to lower than expected, or poor sales or their RTS series buses, that it was in the process of trying to sell or close its transit bus building business, and then later announced that they have sold its RTS design, and patent rights, and bus manufacturing equipment and production line to Transportation Manufacturing Corporation (TMC) of Roswell, New Mexico, a subsidiary of Motor Coach Industries in May 1987 though the two companies did a joint order for the New York City Transit Authority to prepare TMC for the production. TMC eventually sold the design and patents to NovaBus in September 1994 in the midst of an order for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. Production under NovaBus continued until 2002 when NovaBus left the U.S. market and concentrated on its latest LFS low-floor design.
The production was revived, however, by Millennium Transit Services, which tried to manufacture the bus in both high- and low-floor configurations. However, after poor sales and failure to secure awarded deals, Millennium ceased production on the RTS and went out of business in 2009. In September 2011, MTS re-entered the market and showcased its latest RTS product at the 2011 APTA Expo in New Orleans. It also announced plans to introduce a 42.5-foot (12.95 m) version of the standard floor RTS, which would go into production in the near future. It ceased to exist as an entity sometime after 2012 after failing to win any substantial bus orders, as the market for high-floor RTS buses with rear door mounted wheelchair lifts had essentially "dried-up" at this point, with New Flyer Industries, Orion, Gillig, and NABI being the major dominant players in the transit bus market with their low-floor models and front door wheelchair ramps, which were essentially "gobbling-up" all of the new bus orders during this period as well.
The RTS was offered in 30-foot (9.14 m)-, 35-foot (10.67 m)-, and 40-foot (12.19 m)-long models and was built using a modular design that allowed the same parts to be used for all three lengths, the longest of which could seat up to 47 passengers. It was originally powered by either 6- or 8-cylinder versions of Detroit Diesel's venerable Series 71 two-stroke diesel engine channeled through an Allison V730 or ZF 5HP-500 transmission. Later models could be powered by a 6-cylinder Series 92, or the 4-cylinder Series 50 engines.
The RTS is the descendant of GMC's entry for the Transbus project which in turn was the descendant of the RTX (Rapid Transit Experimental), an experimental model for which a prototype produced in 1968 with notes of its production dating to early as 1964. Both the RTX and the Transbus were similar in terms of design to the RTS though had major differences in having a less-rounded body design, a one-step entryway, and (in the case of the Transbus) a 45-foot (13.72 m) length.
Wanting a backup plan in the case that the Transbus project was abandoned, GMC decided to modify the RTX/Transbus design and in 1970 began the project that became the earliest RTS with the first prototype being assembled in 1973 at which point the project went onto hiatus. Though closer to its predecessors than the production models, the RTS name debuted with this prototype. After the project was revived in 1974, GMC would later withdraw from the Transbus project and focus their energies on the RTS.
Through the history of the RTS, there have been six generations of production plus two experimental variants (one of which not having made it beyond the prototype stage).
- RTS-01 (1977–78): Produced for a consortium of agencies in California, Massachusetts, and Texas, the RTS-01 was similar to the replacement RTS-03 only with some minor differences and a different style bumper.
- RTS-03 (1978–80): The first mass-produced version of the RTS that gained popularity among transit authorities. NFTA Metro of Buffalo, New York received the first order of 96" RTS-03 Buses (Serial Numbers 001-065), whereas Detroit's DDOT received the first 102" order (Serial Numbers 001-070). The RTS-03 featured a modular design, which became the hallmark of the RTS; seamless, un-openable side windows; sliding ("plug") front and rear doors; and a distinctive, sloped rear module. The New York City Transit Authority ordered two RTS-03's as test vehicles, and sold one each to Green Bus Lines Inc., Queens Transit Corp. and Steinway Transit Corp. after they used the data learned to make changes in their order of RTS buses which became the RTS-04 model.
- RTS-04 (1981–86): Introduced in the early 1980s, due to the high rate of air conditioning, and engine overheating failures of the earlier series RTS buses, the RTS-04 eliminated the sloped rear end. with a squared-off rear end in order to provide the necessary space to house a larger air conditioning unit away from the engine compartment. The RTS-04 also introduced a newer DD6V92T engine with turbocharger, and a more pronounced side windows (and openable) that are similar to those featured in the latest RTS buses. These and previous models use independent front suspension. A 55-foot (17 m), 2 60-foot (18 m), and a 65-foot (19.81 m) articulated versions known as the RTS Mega were built, but never passed the prototype status. Most buses are given the option of tell-tale lights on each side of the destination sign; some were offered the lights on the backplate near the rear destination sign.
- RTS-05 (1987): GMC's attempt to move the RTS to a T-drive configuration[clarification needed]. Rear module structure was heavily modified for the 'straight-in' arrangement, and would later be used as the design source for the Series 07.
- RTS-06 (1986–2002): The most common RTS found today and the only one made by three manufacturers (GMC, TMC, NovaBus). The RTS-06 is extremely similar to the RTS-04, except for slightly different rear ends found in later models that house the Detroit Diesel Series 50 engine. The front suspension for the -06 and later models was changed to a solid beam front axle. LACMTA RTS-06 buses also had a different radiator in the back. On April 30, 2019 the New York City Transit Authority retired the last of these RTS buses from regular passenger service with 1998 NovaBus RTS-06 # 5108 having the honor of doing the final curtain call on the B3 bus route in Brooklyn, New York. A retirement ceremony, with a ceremonial farewell celebrations with a last RTS partial trip on the M55 bus route with 1998 RTS-06 bus 5241 was held on Monday May 6, 2019 to officially announce that these RTS buses were officially retired from passenger service with 1998 RTS-06 buses #'s 5241 & 5249 on display in front of MTA's headquarter's at 2 Broadway for this historic occasion. These RTS buses have been in continuous service for the New York City Transit Authority for 38 years since August 5, 1981 when the first MTA NYCTA's GMC RTS-04 # 1201 of East New York Depot was placed into service on the B7 bus route in Brooklyn, New York, and the MTA-NYCTA/MABSTOA began to have the largest of said fleet.
- RTS-07 (1992): Experimental T-drive RTS; never put into mass production. The two models that were produced were for SMART in suburban Detroit.
- RTS-08 (1989–94): Front Wheelchair equipped RTS. The Chicago Transit Authority had wanted a bus with a front wheelchair lift and a back window, and contracted TMC to create such a bus. Fifteen 96-inch (2.44 m)-wide RTS-08s were also produced, all of which went to the CTA. After NovaBus took over production, the RTS-08 was replaced by the RTS-06 WFD (Wide Front Door), which are easily differentiated by the radically different front end and the presence of a slide-glide front door.
- RTS Legend (2006–2012): The first Millennium Transit RTS, it is similar to the earlier RTS-06 with the differences of a T-drive configuration and a new front bumper. Wide-door models were reportedly available, but none were ever ordered. For a host of reasons, no more than 10 buses were built before the contracts were cancelled; rejected coaches were resold to Foxwoods Resort Casino, Somerset County Transportation, and Texas A&M University.
- RTS Extreme (Production never started): The first semi low-floor version of the RTS.
- RTS Express (Production never started): RTS variant for "express" suburban use, with suburban seating and other features commonly found on motorcoaches.
Timeline of options
- 1978: The first 35-foot (10.67 m) RTS's are offered as is the option of electronic destination signs (as opposed to rollsigns).
- 1979: Rear door GM-designed wheelchair lifts were made available.
- 1981: With an order by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (for NYCTA and cousin organization MABSTOA), the option of a pop-open rear door is offered. This option becomes commonplace mostly in large cities as well as with the RTS-08. Also, a set of tell-tale lights were also offered; these lights can be found on each side of the front destination lights. The MBTA has green lights, while NYCTA buses have orange lights.
- 1984: A one-door suburban variant is offered for the first time, this is soon retired due to a combination of poor sales and decreased wheelchair access. It would be offered again in WFD form under NovaBus.
- 1986: Methanol-powered RTS's are produced in limited quality, these are the first alternatively fueled RTS buses.
- 1989: Compressed natural gas-powered RTS's enter production.
- 1996: First 30-foot (9.1 m) RTS's produced, some production is moved to the NovaBus plant in Niskayuna, New York.
- 2001: A test order of diesel-electric hybrid RTS's are produced for the aforementioned NYCTA and New Jersey Transit (one of which is shown above).
Foreign usage of the RTS
At the time the RTS entered production in the US, GMDD (GMC's Canadian production arm) considered producing the RTS for the Canadian market. However, an outcry of protest from key transit providers over not wanting the "futuristic" RTS led GMDD to produce the Classic, an updated New Look that was first produced in 1983. The Classic would prove popular with US agencies as well.
When the Classic was retired in 1997, NovaBus decided to begin limited production of the RTS for the Canadian market. Produced from 1997 to 2001, most of the RTS models made for Canadian agencies were the RTS-06 WFD variant with the majority being sold to agencies in the eastern part of the country. Notably, the Toronto Transit Commission in Ontario operated a fleet of 52 buses built in 1998 while Société de transport de l'Outaouais in Quebec had 12 buses built in 2000.
Quebec-based Dupont Trolley Industries, specializing in rebuilding buses, previously offered a rebuilt RTS known as the Victoria with several styling changes. These buses are fairly uncommon, with most examples found in the fleets of transit operators in Montréal's suburbs (CIT Roussillon, Sainte-Julie public transit, CIT Chambly-Richelieu-Carignan).
From 1985 to 1997 Daewoo Bus built the BH120 Royale, a bus originally styled in a manner similar to the RTS. However, according to the Daewoo catalog, it states that it incorporated GMC's intercity coach model. Although in reality, the Royale has incorporated chassis from the Japanese bus manufacturer, Isuzu with Daewoo built MAN engine. The Royale compared to RTS has a completely different body structure, boasting underfloor baggage compartments, and sporting no modular construction. This bus is frequently assumed to be a foreign variant of an RTS, but apart from appearance, it shares nothing with it. The BH120 Royale was later restyled and renamed as BH120 Royale Super which distanced itself visually from the RTS and resembles its Japanese counterpart Isuzu Super Cruiser.[3][4][5]
However, General Motors did briefly consider building small quantities of the RTS at its GM Holden's subsidiary in Australia. A press release was issued noting the feasibility study, but no production commenced. Additionally, General Motors' Diesel Division in London, Ontario, Canada, also launched a study into building RTS coaches within its facilities, but never actually built any coaches.

Millennium Transit Services, LLC was a bus manufacturer formed in 2003 to take over the former Nova Bus manufacturing plant in Roswell, New Mexico and continue construction of the Rapid Transit Series (RTS) buses that were built there. The company was composed mostly of former NovaBus employees and financed by the city of Roswell, the State of New Mexico, and Pioneer Bank.
On July 27, 2005, the company announced its first major order: 68 transit and 221 suburban buses for New Jersey Transit. Full delivery of this order was expected to commence late in the third quarter of 2006, but "the inability to obtain necessary funds" forced the cancellation of the order.[6] All units completed for New Jersey Transit at that point were rejected and resold to Foxwoods Resort Casino (five transit), Somerset County Transportation (Somerset County, New Jersey) (one transit and one suburban), and Texas A&M University (25 transits).
Besides the New Jersey Transit order, MTS had secured a contract from the City of El Paso, Texas, to convert 25 Transportation Manufacturing Corporation-built RTS buses from diesel to clean-burning CNG. The second order was from Pueblo Transit for two transit buses. The New Jersey Transit order was actually the third order for MTS. Other orders included those from Santa Fe Trails and Beaumont Municipal Transit System. These latter two have since been canceled.
On August 29, 2008, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.[7] The company has cleared Chapter 11 and is poised to return to full production, pending any significant orders.
On February 26, 2012, Millennium suspended production of its buses in order to do a full inventory of its Roswell facility.[8] The factory reopened in the summer of 2012; however, Millennium had yet to win any significant orders to date, since the cancellations.
A map check in 2019 appears to indicate that MTS no longer exists as an entity, and their facilities at 42 W-Earl Cummings Loop is now a vacant building and lot.[9] The whole property, formerly occupied by MTS, is available for lease as of January 28, 2019.[10]

In the past, tackling work-based questions, improving my clinical practice, evaluating research and putting this new knowledge to the test were someone else's job. That's fine to a point. However, what do they really know about the uniqueness of my clients, our practice and team? This is where Action Research can make the difference. It doesn't have to be complex or overly academic, as long as it is educational and learning is derived from it. The research findings may or may not change your clinical approach or direction; that, in my opinion, is what counts professionally and is empowering.
So, what have I done and continue to do with Action Research you may rightly ask. My first project after graduation looked at the use of Airflow air polishing. It was a collaboration with my clients and included their feedback on acceptance and pricing. Putting it into an Action Research question might be: How will my introduction of Airflow air polishing be received by my clients? This research demonstrated that the benefit of using air polishing far outweighed the initial cost to the practice and client acceptance was high. These results surprised me greatly, but I then incorporated air polishing into my practice.
Next I questioned the efficacy of my oral health message to clients and whether I could improve it. The outcome of this Action Research changed my practice. I simplified the message and saw a 33% overall improvement in oral health. It has also made me massively oral health focused and less "instrumental".
Last year I undertook a research project that challenged my present work practice and asked whether I could afford to employ an assistant to make me more productive. The results turned out to be very satisfying as I reduced a five-week waiting list to two weeks. I also demonstrated to the practice owner that it is a viable option for him to employ an assistant for me in the future. It also allowed me to focus on oral health promotion as many of the tasks involved in client turnaround were performed by my new assistant (my daughter Naomi).
Currently, I am in the research phase of determining whether I need a more whole"istic" approach to my practice to help reduce dental disease risk and improve general health and well-being among my clients. This will also be a collaborative effort with clients and I envisage seeing significant changes in my approach to oral health promotion as well as changes to my own well-being. Action Research is very much a win, win proposition.
I am hoping this new learning will dominate my future practice and be part of my next project of setting up an online store and community focusing on my whole practice philosophy. Learning is just a journey, not a destination and I would strongly recommend Action Research to dental health professionals who are keen to not only make a positive difference to their practice, but for themselves as well.
Finally, I feel that Action Research will also change your clinical thought processes as well as what you do in your workplace. It encompasses both quantitative and qualitative research methods, whichever way you want it. It can be collaborative and may even turn you into a critical writer. Ultimately it transforms you from an everyday clinician to a "first person" (I) "reflective" (investigative), "collaborative" (with others) workplace research practitioner. Cool eh?
Good luck and Kia ora.

SDX Energy PLC (LON:SDX) described 2019 as a successful year as it provided a trading update ahead of its financial results, revealing a 12% rise in production.
For the year, production averaged 4,020 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) and the company noted that, at asset level, it had either exceeded or reached the upper end of guidance.
Looking to 2020, the company's guidance is pitched at 6,750 to 7,000 boepd, 68-74% higher, as operations continue to ramp-up.
Albeit, SDX noted that some 1,000 to 1,050 boepd of 2020 guidance includes the North West Gemsa asset which has an uncertain future in the portfolio – the company has said it might exit the project at some point in the year if sufficient cost savings cannot be achieved.
READ: SDX Energy "well positioned" to be a key gas producer in Egypt
"2019 was a successful year for SDX, with all key metrics being ahead of expectations, success with the drill bit and our key South Disouq development project completing on time and on budget," said Mark Reid, SDX chief executive in a statement.
"We have entered 2020 in a strong position with production at record levels, good monthly cash generation, a strong balance sheet and a busy work programme of drilling ahead of us, which is all fully funded," he added.
SDX said it ended 2019 with around US$11mln of cash, plus its US$10mln European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) credit facility remains undrawn.
In 2020, the company is advancing well-drilling programmes in Morocco and Egypt to grow production.
To date, SDX has drilled seven 'close to infrastructure' wells in Morocco - all either appraisal or development wells – as part of a twelve well campaign. So far, this has work has significantly increased the company's reserve base, adding 2bn to 2.5bn cubic feet to take gross reserves to 4bn to 4.5bn in Morocco.
All wells have low connection costs and based on results to date the company expects that the reserves unlocked to date will satisfy customer contracts for the next 30 to 36 months.
Five remaining wells are expected to add incremental reserves, and, the remaining campaign includes two 'play-opening' appraisal wells.
Egyptian campaign
In Egypt, the company is preparing two new exploration wells in the South Disouq project area to build on the asset which achieved 'first gas' in 2019.
The two new wells will target the same horizons that have yielded four discoveries to date.
Salah is the first of the two new wells. It is set to spud in mid-to-late February, and, is expected to complete in April. The second well, Sobhi, is expected to spud in late April to early May, completing in early June.
Salah is targeting 71bn cubic feet of gas resources and Sobhi is targeting 33bn cubic feet.
Both wells are located close to infrastructure and would cost US$2.5mln to US$1.9mln respectively to tie-in to the South Disouq production facility.
A third South Disouq well could be added to the campaign, subject to a partnering process.
"With eight wells planned for H1 2020, six of which are exploration/appraisal in nature, we are moving into a very exciting period of activity and I look forward to providing further updates in due course," SDX boss Reid added.

Electra from Beverly Hills
Marlene Dietrich
Marlene Dietrich died last year aged ninety-one. She spent the last decade of her life holed up in bed in the Avenue Montaigne. During that time her daughter Maria Riva let it be known that as soon as her mother was dead she would publish her biography. This is it.
The Oxford Classical Dictionary describes Euripides' Electra as "almost a monomaniac from hate and brooding over her wrongs." Maria Riva is a Beverly Hills Electra. Of course she doesn't actually help anyone to kill Dietrich, but she disembowels and flays her after her death. She tears off her specially engineered corset to reveal the ugly breasts and—in later years—"the crepe-flesh of her hanging thighs." She burrows into the filthy unmade bed in Paris from which the octogenarian star chose never to move, although, according to Riva, she could perfectly well have got to the bathroom instead of defecating into a casserole which had belonged to her dead husband and now stood among boxes of suppositories and bottles of pills and alcohol by her side. Surely this is a revenge murder. Dietrich's character and behavior are massacred with the same ghoulish gusto as her famously beautiful looks. Not that she emerges as an angel—except the Blue one—from any biography: but the monster described here is beyond belief, even by Hollywood monster standards.
Riva's book is 790 pages long. It has no index or notes, so anyone interested in Dietrich's professional career had better consult. Steven Bach's Marlene Dietrich (Morrow, 1992). It has only 625 pages but that includes an index, theater chronology, filmography, discography, source notes, bibliography, and a reasonable amount of good will toward its subject. Both books have lots of photographs, many of them the same. William Spoto's Blue Angel (Doubleday, 1992) is a standard showbiz biography of quite manageable size. Alexander Liberman's sumptuous picture book Marlene (Random House, 1992) is subtitled An Intimate Photographic Memoir. Up to a point, that is what it is: he was a very old friend of Dietrich's and got close enough to snap her playing with her grandchildren. But the closer he got, the blurrier the focus. The result is beautiful in the dreamy high camp style invented by Josef von Sternberg for The Blue Angel and given a reprise in Maximillian Schell's extraordinary filmed biography of Dietrich (1984), in which she refused to appear. All these books must have been lined up waiting for death's starting pistol along with Riva's. Dietrich would have thought that quite funny. She was fond of black humor.
Riva's giant volume comprises not one life but two. Dietrich's biography and the author's autobiography, the story of a grueling symbiosis. Riva married at eighteen in order to get away from her mother, took to drink when the marriage failed, got dried out, moved in with her father's mistress, returned home, and actually shared Dietrich's bed when there happened to be no one else in it. Her second marriage to the designer William Riva was a success. They…

Brushing your hair before you shampoo is a good thing for your scalp. It will help dislodge dandruff and assist with good blood circulation which is important for healthy hair growth.
Brushing out dirty hair before you shampoo will also distribute natural oils down the hair shaft protecting it from further damage. When you shampoo only wash your scalp. The shampoo will rinse down your length. Washing your length will dry out your hair and cause it to be fragile

Students present research to Board of Visitors
Between committee meetings May 3, Radford University Board of Visitors (BOV) members had a chance to talk one-on-one with students about research projects they have been involved with throughout the academic year.
Students representing each of the university colleges displayed posters and talked with Board members about their research during a 30-minute session.
"I would have thought these were second-year grad students," said Board member Susan Whealler Johnston after talking with junior biology major Attia Mohamed about his project.
Mohamed presented the research he and a few other students are working on: "Vespa Amino Acid Mixture Enhances Electron and Proton Transport in Mitochondria and Leads to Excessive Reactive Oxygen Production."
"This is an honor for me. I honestly didn't see that the work I've been doing would be recognized on a level like this," said Mohamed, of Riner. "It's just a big honor to be asked to do this. It really highlights the importance of our research. And it shows how important this is to Radford and to the administration."
Mohamed has been working on the research with students Samuel Stowers, Kristy Clark, Marisa Dameron, Adam Weikel, Emilie Colon and Biology Assistant Professor Sarah Redmond.
The poster session took place two days before chemistry major Jazmin Valentine graduated. Valentine, of Norfolk, talked with BOV members about her research, "Method Development for Quantitating Stevia in Consumer Products by HPLC," and said it was "an honor" to be invited to present.
Board of Visitors member Steve Robinson '81, M.S. '85 made his way around the room, examining projects and speaking with each student researcher.
After talking with Doctor of Physical Therapy student Kimberly McDow, of Roanoke, about her research into the use of dry cupping for lower back pain, Robinson, an assistant basketball coach at the University of North Carolina said, "It's great to see the creativity and the hard work the students have put in in their efforts to continue to get better and learn and improve.
"It's been very informative for me to walk around and learn some things I didn't know about," Robinson continued. "It shows their commitment to the charges that they've embarked upon."
The presentations provided BOV members "an opportunity to meet our students personally and learn about their productivity beyond the classroom, all their professional growth through making presentations at professional meetings and their plans for the future," said Artis College of Science and Technology Dean Orion Rogers.
And for the students, Dean Rogers said, "it's an opportunity to share their passion for research and how they have taken advantage of opportunities at Radford University."
BOV member Lisa Throckmorton '94 said the presentations gave her "more knowledge about the research opportunities students have" at her alma mater. "It's nice to get some additional exposure to the capabilities and opportunities the students are getting at the university."


text: Established in 2015, the Paralympic Foundation of Canada's goal is to ensure that the programs, equipment and people are in place to propel more Canadians with a disability all the way from their communities to the Paralympic podium. Why Does This Matter? The cost of inactivity is very high, from escalating medical costs to increased social isolation; Physical activity offers people the opportunity to boost their self-esteem and to prevent many of the health conditions that affect people of all abilities, such as depression, fatigue and obesity; There are also missed medals and lost opportunities for national pride when motivated Canadians do not get identified or supported in their dream to excel on the highest stage. We need the support of Canadians to ensure that our nation leads the way in removing barriers for people to participate in physical activity and sport, from communities all the way to the podium. As Canadians, we have an exciting opportunity to be the best in the world at this – let's do it!

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — A man who says he was sexually abused by a Jesuit brother his freshman year of Catholic School is speaking out.
Kurt Hoffmann says he was assaulted by his swim coach Brother William Farrington. Now he's sharing his story and hoping other victims feel inspired to do the same.
This week CBS13 shared a list of more than 40 names of priests and deacons the Catholic Diocese named as credibly accused abusers.
Hoffmann says one name is missing: Brother William Farrington.
"He wore the black outfit with the Roman collar which was his weapon of choice as a sexual predator," Hoffmann said.
RELATED: Eight Priests On Diocese of Sacramento Abuse List Served At Cathedral Of The Blessed Sacrament
Hoffman was a star athlete at Jesuit High School in Carmichael when he was sexually assaulted.
"That's how I met him, he was the swim coach, and he wore the black Cleric outfit so he was brother Farrington," Hoffmann said.
Farrington became a mentor and friend, and someone Hoffmann could trust at age 14.
"He had the sort of personality where he wanted you to like him and he liked you," Hoffmann said.
But that changed when Hoffmann said Farrington invited to his on-campus apartment to "try on his new team speedo."
"He said, 'don't worry we're in high school now, we change in front of each other like in the locker room.' Then he got up, and he came over and he sexually assaulted me. When I say that, what I mean is, he stuck his hands inside my speedo front and back," Hoffmann said.
Hoffmann panicked. He went back to and told a teacher.

"When I told him what happened he was shocked and angry," Hoffmann said
His parents called the Diocese and the Jesuit order and Farrington was removed the next day. Years later, Farrington sent a letter to Hoffman.
It reads in part, "ask for your forgiveness in prayers, and I will continue to pray for you and your family, signed William C. Farrington."
But that letter doesn't go far enough for Hoffmann, who has continued to advocate for other victims.
His name isn't on the list of accused priests released by the Diocese Tuesday.
"I know there's other victims out there of Brother Farrington and they have suffered in silence," Hoffmann said.
When we asked the Diocese about Farrington, we were told they investigate only priests and permanent deacons, or any clergy member of the Diocesan order. They are not responsible for brothers, or nuns of other religious orders.
Fr. Thomas Smolich, the top USA Jesuit with a Stanford MBA, probably approved a $19 million settlement regarding Fr. Donald McGuire. Also under Fr. Thomas Smolich an alleged Jesuit abuser was assigned to fund raising. Jesuit Brother William C. Farrington was suspected of abuse at Jesuit High School (Sacramento, California) and Bellarmine College Prep (San Jose, California). The Jesuit Farrington was later assigned to fund raising at the Jesuit Los Gatos, California headquarters under Fr. Smolich. While at Los Gatos Fr. Smolich also approved a $7 million sex abuse settlement to 2 disabled employees of the Jesuit Order.
After removals from Bellarmine High and Jesuit High the Jesuit Order transferred Farrington to Loyola Marymount University, Los Angles.
Farrington worked 15-years at LMU. He was assistant director of admissions.

When I think of #BLOTUS, his family and cronies, this quote immediately comes to mind. Never in my lifetime have I witnessed such unmitigated intolerance, lying and corruption focused in the hands of so few and accepted by so many.
As we embark on yet another new year, the words of the French philosopher, Albert Camus seem appropriate. Each of us have a vital role to play in creating a world where justice reigns and all of our family have a place at the table.
May 2015 be the year when all of us help bring about a world where the hungry are fed, the homeless are sheltered, the lonely are comforted and we all truly realize we are one global family.
Great ideas, it has been said, come into the world as gently as doves. Perhaps then, if we listen attentively, we can hear, amid the uproar of empires and nations, a faint flutter of wings, the gentle stirring of life and hope. Some will say that this hope lies in a nation; others, in a person. I believe, rather, that it is awakened and nourished by millions of solitary individuals whose deeds and works every day negate frontiers and the crudest implications of history.

Austin Mahone & Becky G Show Off Steamy PDA In Shirtless Pic
OMG! Austin Mahone posted a sexy picture of himself and his girlfriend, Becky G, on June 11, and it's so steamy. There's so much skin and so much affection — we love it! See the pic here.
Austin Mahone, 19, and Becky G, 18, seem to be head-over-heels in love — anyone who has listened to their music or seen the couple's cute photos together know it's true! But their latest pic together is a little more uninhibited than the others. That's a whole lot of skin, kids!
Austin shared the grainy, very intimate photo on Instagram, captioning it with an emoji of two wide eyes. It seems appropriate, as that was the expression we were making when we first saw the pic. It's a darling shot of Becky wrapping her arms around Austin's shoulders as she kisses him on the ear, seemingly whispering sweet nothings to her boyfriend while he gazes dreamily into the camera. But with Austin shirtless — and possibly Becky as well — it may be viewed as inappropriate. "Selfie after sex @austinmahone," one Instagram user commented. Any response, Austin?
It's hard to believe that just months ago, Austin and Becky were still skirting relationship rumors, refusing to let people know whether or not they were more than just really good pals. But their chemistry couldn't be denied; the cute twosome worked together on music in the studio and reportedly couldn't get anything done because they were flirting so much. So cute!
Austin and Becky also released songs that seemed to be about one another — "Someone Like U" and "Lovin So Hard," respectively. Eventually, they fessed up and confirmed their relationship in the most totally teenage way possible: with a series of Instagrams and a declaration that Austin was the "best kisser ever." Aww. And now, here we are! There are no more doubts about this relationship anymore.
HollywoodLifers, what do YOU think about Austin's shirtless picture? Sound off in the comments and make sure to take our poll!

Nothing caps off a nice day at the beach like a mouthful of sand — especially if the grit in your teeth is the reward for the grit required to splay flat-out on your stomach, for the prize of a plastic disc in your hand, and all the glory that comes along with it.
In 2013, when Catharine Clark moved her eponymous gallery from 49 Geary to the Potrero Hill area, she gave herself more room to work with, including a dedicated media space that has shown indelible work by such artists as Shalo P ("The Bedroom Suite"), Nina Katchadourian ("In a Room Full of Strangers"), and Andy Diaz Hope and Jon Bernson ("Beautification Machines").

Final Score: Spurs: 112, Wolves: 108
- Karl-Anthony Towns' foul trouble hurt Minnesota. Towns was in foul trouble all night for Minnesota. Gorgui played well while Towns sat, but Towns is obviously the better player. The Wolves struggled with Aldridge all night and having KAT in foul trouble didn't help the Wolves in that aspect.
- Wiggins had lots of positives, but some negatives. I don't understand what Wiggins finds so intriguing in taking long twos. It's not a good shot, but it's a shot Wig continues to take. However, Wiggins was engaged. He was active for most of the game and was at his best when attacking the rim and freely shooting the three.
- Tolliver took one shot, and it wasn't a three. Anthony Tolliver was brought in to shoot threes. Well, tonight, he didn't shoot any. The Wolves need to run sets to get Tolliver looks from deep, especially when the starters are out of the game.
- Wolves miss bunnies at the rim. Minnesota missed way too many short shots against San Antonio and it cost them. Butler, along with Rose and others couldn't seem to get easy shots around the rim to fall. Hopefully it's just the gitters of opening night, but it's something to keep an eye on.
- Rose isn't the guy the Wolves want shooting the ball at the end to tie the game. Rose was 3-12 from the field and was inconsistent all night. Despite a decent look to tie the game, the ball needs to be in Jimmy's hands late in the game.
- All in all, it was a solid opening night for Minnesota. Despite the loss, the Wolves showed fight and effort, something they didn't show in the preseason. There is no doubt that Butler lit a fire under the team, and it was good to see everyone come out and play hard.
- The Spurs aren't going away. Despite trading Kawhi Leonard and losing multiple players to injuries, this San Antonio team is still good. DeRozan led the Spurs with 28 points, scoring from everywhere.
- LaMarcus Aldridge records 21 points and 19 rebounds. LMA dominated the Wolves on the glass, especially on the offensive boards, recording eight offensive rebounds.
- 19 offensive rebounds won the Spurs the game. San Antonio outrebounded Minnesota 19-14 on the glass and down the stretch, it showed.
- San Antonio protects their home court. The Spurs don't lose at home, and tonight was no different. The Spurs consistently have one of the best home records in the NBA each season.
- Rudy Gay provided a huge punch with 18 points in just 23 minutes. Gay shot 8-12 from the field and hit a three-pointer. That, along with his seven rebounds gave San Antonio a great boost.

*I'd like to teach the world to sing/
In perfect harmony*
Ahem...sorry...moving on...
April 8, 2012
[I must warn you that there are SPOILERS in this review, but since the book was published in 1998, it's kind of fair game at this point, don't you think?]
So, the second of the Mitford books, and our sweet, kindly, fusty little vicar is engaged, of all things! Or at least, by the end of the book he is, but there's an extraordinary amount of hemming and hawing about it before he and his lovely next-door neighbor finally get it sorted out. In other words, when it comes to romance, Fr. Timothy is a scaredy cat!
Of course, you can hardly blame the man, as he's highly distracted by the machinations of a nauseating female parishioner. She's recently widowed, and as she was never very fond of the poor blighter who was stuck with her for all those years, she's now determined to drag the poor old vicar into her bed by any means necessary! Naturally, he would rather eat carpet tacks, and on top of everything else, he also has to find some way to keep her from driving the local diner out of business. Never a dull moment for the harassed, well-meaning clergyman.
Honestly, these books are about 6 parts Mayberry, USA, 3 parts tent revival, and only one part believable plot, but they're soothing to read. They're not total escapism--the characters do actually have some problems and heartaches--and though I didn't like this one as much as the first, I can still recommend it to anyone who needs something as cozy as an old bathrobe and fuzzy slippers after a long day in a busy, care-worn world.
