Efrain Ayala is entering his sixth season at the helm of the UW-Oshkosh wrestling program.
Ayala has coached three Titans to four All-WIAC first team laurels and three wrestlers to four All-America citations. He has guided the Titans to a 18-51 dual meet record, including a 5-20 mark in the WIAC.
In his first season as head coach, in 2013-14, Ayala was named the Rookie Coach of the Year by the National Wrestling Coaches Association after he guided the UW-Oshkosh wrestling team to a 10th-place finish at the 2014 NCAA Division III Championship. It was the Titans' best showing at the national meet since 1982. Ayala helped Nazar Kulchytskyy, the 2014 WIAC Wrestler of the Year, win the third of his three consecutive national titles and the second of his consecutive Wrestler of the Year awards from D3Wrestle.com. Dan Schiferl also earned All-America status for his fourth-place finish at the 2014 national championship, marking the first time since 1983 that UW-Oshkosh had two D III All-America wrestlers in the same season.
Last season, Ayala and the Titans compiled a 4-10 dual meet record and a ninth-place showing at the Division III Upper Midwest Regional. The Titans went on to finish 29th at the Division III Championship behind Mark Choinski's fifth-place All-America effort. Choinski also claimed his second straight individual conference title.
During the 2016-17 season, Ayala led UW-Oshkosh to a 3-12 dual meet record, including a 1-4 WIAC mark, and a sixth-place result at the NCAA Division III West Regional. Ayala helped Mark Choinski win a WIAC individual title and achieve All-America status by finishing sixth at the Division III Championship.
In 2015-16, Ayala's Titans compiled a 5-10 dual meet record and an eighth-place effort at the Division III West Regional.
In 2014-15, Ayala led the Titans to a fith-place finish at the WIAC Championship and a sixth-place showing at the NCAA Division III West Regional.
In his two years as an assistant, Ayala helped the Titans finish 14th at the 2012 NCAA Division III Championship and 17th in 2013. Kulchytskyy won an individual national title both years.
Before coming to UW-Oshkosh, Ayala spent two years as an assistant wrestling coach and special education paraprofessional in the Kettle Moraine School District.
Ayala has also taught special education at Kennedy Elementary (2009) and was an assistant coach (2008-09) at Saint Peter High School in Minnesota.
Ayala was a Nebraska state champion in high school before wrestling at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln during 2003. He then transferred to Minnesota State University-Mankato and qualified for the 2005 NCAA Division II Tournament.
Ayala received his elementary education degree from MSU-Mankato during 2008.
Dallas Herbst is entering his fourth year as an assistant coach for the UW-Oshkosh wrestling program.
Under Herbst's tutelage, UW-Oshkosh has compiled a 7-32 dual meet record. Herbst has helped coach two-time NCAA Division III All-American Mark Choinski to back-to-back individual WIAC titles.
Prior to coaching at UW-Oshkosh, Herbst spent one year coaching at Menomonee Falls as well as two years at Appleton North high schools. He is currently a special education teacher in the Oshkosh Area School District.
Herbst attended Winneconne High School, where he qualified for the WIAA State Tournament as a freshman, placed third as a sophomore and crowned champion during his junior and senior years. He graduated with a 155-13 record, including 92 pins. Herbst placed third at Senior Nationals this year at 189 lbs and received the award for most falls. He was a three-time state Greco-Roman champion and three-time state freestyle champion during high school and was named a High School All-American by USA Wrestling Magazine.
Herbst competed at the University of Wisconsin, where he was a four-time national qualifier. He was a NCAA Division I All-American in 2008 when he placed sixth in the 197-pound weight class. He was named the team's Most Valuable Wrestler that season.
During his senior collegiate season he also tied the record for most pins in a year with 18. Herbst was able to win the prestigious Midlands Tournament, knocking off future National and Olympic Champion Jake Varner. Herbst left the Badgers with a 108-32 career record (58 pins) and four Big Ten Wrestler of the Week accolades.
Following his final season at the University of Wisconsin, Herbst competed at the Senior level placing fourth at the U.S. Championship. The performance allowed him to qualify for the 2009 World Team Trials.
Herbst graduated from the University of Wisconsin with degrees in both history and political science. He recently received his teaching certificate from UW-Oshkosh and is currently seeking a master's degree in special education.
Herbst and his wife, Shannon, are the parents of daughters, Korrie and Brynley.

Title: Prospects of doing agro-business in Bangladesh
INTRODUCTION: Agro-business is a system of interconnected and strongly knit stages in the life cycle of an agricultural consumer product. It encompasses all operations involved in the production of farm inputs, the use of these farm inputs in the cultivation of crops or raising of livestock, the various handling and processing of agricultural commodities, and the transfer of these commodities to the consumers. The achievement of a successful agricultural business enterprise needs logistics, coordination, financing, manpower, technology, information, policies and programs, incentives and other services. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) operates a section devoted to Agribusiness Development (AGS: Agribusiness development) which seeks to promote food industry growth in developing nations. Though, the term "agribusiness" most often emphasizes the "interdependence" of these various sectors within the production chain (Desmond, 2009).
DEFINITION OF AGRO-BUSINESS: Agribusiness denotes the collective business activities that are performed from farm to fork. It covers the supply of agricultural inputs, the production and transformation of agricultural products and their distribution to final consumers. In 1957, two Harvard Economists, Goldberg and Davis defined agribusiness as "the sum total of all operations involved in the manufacture and distribution of farm supplies; production operations on the farm; and the storage, processing and distribution of farm commodities and items made from them (Geoffrey R. Dixon, 2014)." It includes agrichemical, breeding, crop production, distribution, farm machinery, processing and seed supply as well as marketing and retail sales.
AGRO-BUSINESS IN BANGLADESH: Bangladesh is a densely populated agro based developing country in South Asia with large a population base (about159 million), living in a small land area covering only about 55 thousand square miles, and having the highest population density in the world. Bangladesh's per capita income is USD 1466. The country is primarily an agriculture-based country with a large proportion of population formally and informally depending on this sector for food, income, employment, and livelihood. Bangladesh depends heavily on agriculture, but the prospects and potentials for agribusiness for this country is yet to be adequately understood, studied, and its enormous potential explored. This sector is at best in an emerging but nascent stage of development. Bangladesh cannot sustain long-run macroeconomic stabilization and economic progress without having a strong agricultural sector accompanied by a dynamic agribusiness sub-sector.
Figure: Requisites of Modern Business
TANGAIL, AT A GLANCE:Tangail is situated in the central region of Bangladesh. The subdivision of Tangail was established in 1870. It was turned into a district on 1 December 1969 (Mia, March, 1999). It consists of 11municipalities, 108 wards of these municipalities, 109 Union Parishads and 2516 villages. It is the largest district of Dhaka division by area and second largest by population (after Dhaka district). The population of Tangail zilla is about 3.6 million and its area is 3,414.28 km² (Bangladesh, 2011). The main rivers that cross the Tangail district are the Jamuna, Dhaleshwari, Jhenai, Bangshi, Louhajang, Langulia, Elongjani, Jugni, Pungli, Fotikjani and the Turag. Tangail has a tropical climate. In winter, there is much less rainfall than in summer. The temperature here averages 25.5 °C and 1872 mm of precipitation falls annually (GoB, 2011). Agriculture is the main occupation of the tangail district. About 49.53% of people are involved with agricultural activities. The main fruit products are mangos, jackfruit, bananas, litchis, and pineapples. Other sectors, such as fisheries (446), dairies (189), weaving, industries and poultry farms (538) are developing in the Tangail district.
It was already indicated that agribusiness is a complex, system of input sector, production sector, processing manufacturing sector and transport and marketing sector. Therefore, it is directly related to industry, commence and trade, Industry is concerned with the production of commodities and materials while commerce and trade are concerned with their distribution.
Industry: Industry refers to the processes of extraction and production of goods meant for final consumption or use buy individual or buy another industry for its production.
Types of industries: The industries are broadly classified into following types.
At present agri-business may involve either an input or a product or service and encompasses items such as: productive resources; agricultural commodities; and facilitative services. There is huge agribusiness potentiality. I think following agribusiness can run easily in my district.
Agro-business collectively associated with the production, processing, and distribution of agricultural products. In these process of agro-business my dristict faces following setbacks:
Agribusiness is a commercial activity engaged in as a means of livelihood or profit. As such, like any commercial enterprise, agribusiness is expected to make money, or create desired impact and also reduces poverty. The crucial role of agro-business in poverty reduction is stated below:
CONCLUSION: As a field of study, agribusiness is both an art and a science of managing an agricultural business enterprise. The programs for the study of agribusiness provide an in-depth understanding of the industries that produce, process, and distribute agricultural products. It studies the different sectors starting from the production unit (e.g. farms) to the ultimate consumer. Interrelationships of the different sectors involved in the production of agricultural commodities are studied; including regional, national, and international interdependencies of the agricultural sector.

Early years
The Federal Communications Commission awarded the license of Kansas City's third and last VHF station to two locally-based radio station operators who competed heavily for the license. The Cook Paint and Varnish Company, which operated WHB radio (then at 710 AM, now at 810 AM) and the Midland Broadcasting Company, owners of KMBC radio (980 AM, now KMBZ), began shared operation of channel 9 on August 2, 1953. Under the arrangement, the two separate stations would each alternate 90 minutes of airtime, broadcasting from separate studios but using the same channel and transmitter. The combined KMBC-TV and WHB-TV operation also carried programming from CBS.
Cook Paint and Varnish purchased Midland Broadcasting's holdings in April 1954, including Midland's television studios under the stage at the Lyric Theatre in Downtown Kansas City. The move ended the split-station arrangement, and on June 14, 1954, KMBC-TV took over channel 9 full-time, absorbing WHB-TV's share of the frequency and ending the split-station arrangement. Cook Paint also sold WHB radio to comply with FCC rules.
In September 1955 KMBC-TV swapped affiliations with KCMO-TV (channel 5, now KCTV), becoming an ABC affiliate. During the late 1950s, the station was also briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network.[2]
In 1959, Cook Paint and Varnish bought KDRO-TV in Sedalia, Missouri and changed its calls to KMOS-TV on January 28 of that year. KDRO-TV had been the ABC affiliate for the far eastern portion of the Kansas City market, but ABC refused to give it a network feed to protect KMBC-TV, forcing it to switch to and from channel 9's signal during network programming.
Metromedia ownership
Cook Paint and Varnish sold the KMBC stations, and KMOS-TV, to Metropolitan Broadcasting (later Metromedia) in 1961. Metropolitan subsequently spun off KMOS-TV to the Jefferson City News Tribune, then-owner of Jefferson City CBS affiliate KRCG; KMOS became a repeater of that station (KMOS now serves as the PBS member station for Mid-Missouri). Metromedia signed on KMBC-FM (99.7 FM, now KZPT) in the following year, but sold both of the KMBC radio stations to Bonneville International, the broadcasting arm of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in 1967.
Over the years, KMBC-TV has pre-empted some ABC programming. Notably under Metromedia ownership, channel 9 passed on The Brady Bunch when it debuted in 1969, but it was picked up a year later. Also, it was one of the few ABC affiliates to pre-empt the ABC Evening News during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Both of these programs were instead broadcast on now-defunct independent KCIT-TV (channel 50, now KPXE-TV). In 1974 Metromedia changed the lease terms of the Lyric Theatre and was given total control of it.
In 1983, KMBC-TV anchor/reporter Christine Craft won a judgment against the station and Metromedia. Craft accused station managers of sexual harassment; this was one of the first such cases to be widely publicized in the United States. Craft, however, lost her case on appeal. Although KMBC had moved up to #1 in the market during the incident in 1981, a focus group said she was "too old, too unattractive and not deferential to men." At the time she was 36 and her co-anchor Scott Feldman was 31.[3]
Hearst ownership
In the wake of the Craft case Metromedia sold the station to the Hearst Corporation in 1982. Under Hearst, the station expanded its local news production. Hearst also bought the Lyric Theatre. Hearst which began looking for new quarters sold the building in 1990 but the station continued to operate there.
KMBC came under common management as upstart WB affiliate KCWB (channel 29, now CW affiliate KCWE) in 1996 through a local marketing agreement. In March 2008, KMBC began a morning newscast for KCWE, the first regularly scheduled news program for the station. KCWE officially became co-owned with KMBC in May 2010. Although KMBC's licensee name remains "KMBC Hearst Television Inc.," the copyright tag at the end of its newscasts reads "Hearst Stations Inc." which is the licensee name for KCWE.
On August 23, 2007, it moved from the Lyric Theatre to new studios at 6455 Winchester Avenue, near Swope Park. Although its former radio sisters had changed call signs decades ago, KMBC-TV's legal call sign has retained its "-TV" suffix to this day. Under Hearst KMBC was again the focus of a lawsuit filed by female journalists at the station. Maria Antonia, Peggy Breit and Kelly Eckerman sued Hearst in 2008 alleging age and sex discrimination.[4] The lawsuit was settled in 2010.[5]
Digital programming
The station's digital channel is multiplexed:
|Virtual channel
|Physical channel
|main KMBC programming/ABC HD
|"First Alert Weather 24/7"/ "MOREtv Kansas City"
In 2008, KMBC launched a new digital weather channel that gives up-to-the-minute weather information 24 hours a day on its second digital subchannel. The service is an affiliate of The Local AccuWeather Channel and carries just over the minimum amount of educational and informational (E/I) children's programming. On September 14, 2010, KMBC-DT2 began acting as an independent station during the weeknight 6-11 p.m. time period after it added general entertainment programming in the evening hours under the branding "MOREtv Kansas City" (a branding previously used by sister station KCWE as a UPN affiliate). [6] The subchannel also airs an encore of KMBC's weeknight 6 p.m. newscast at 6:30 p.m. on KMBC-DT2.
It is noted that KMBC is one of several Hearst-owned stations that broadcasts digitally in 1080i rather than the usual 720p like most ABC stations. Hearst ABC sister-stations WMUR-TV in Manchester, New Hampshire, WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh, WCVB-TV in Boston, and KETV in Omaha also uses this format.
Post-analog shutdown
KMBC's broadcasts became digital-only effective June 12, 2009. [7] As the Kansas City "nightlight" station, it aired a loop reminding viewers to get a digital converter box on analog channel 9 until July 12, 2009. On February 19, 2009, the station after receiving permission from the FCC for a Special Temporary Authority permit, moved its digital signal from digital channel 7 to channel 29 which had been vacated by sister station KCWE two months before. The station had received viewer complaints about reception due to a combination of Kansas City being an all-UHF digital market besides channel 9 and to address signal conflicts with Pittsburg, Kansas-based KOAM-TV which was allowed to re-utilize its analog channel 7 for its digital channel. It transitioned on February 17 and would have received interference from KMBC-DT as the stations' transmitters are 131 miles (211 km) away from each other much less than the advised 150 miles (241 km) separation between a shared channel. [8] Through the use of PSIP, KMBC-TV's virtual channel is displayed as 9.
KMBC-TV broadcasts all of the ABC network schedule, including network primetime, daytime talk shows and soap operas, Saturday morning children's shows and sports programming. The station also airs The View, Nightline, and Jimmy Kimmel Live! outside of the network's recommended time slots for all three shows, with the latter two delayed due to KMBC airing a block of syndicated sitcoms after its 10 p.m. newscast. Syndicated programming featured on KMBC includes: Dr. Phil, Oprah, Two and a Half Men, Rachael Ray, The Office, Grey's Anatomy, Frasier and The Nate Berkus Show.
From its March 24, 1980 debut until January 3, 2011, KMBC delayed Nightline to midnight, 90 minutes later than most ABC stations that carry it (with only minor exceptions for major breaking news events), a decision that had been long criticized by some ABC network management and even former Nightline host Ted Koppel; Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which follows it, was also delayed similarly since its January 2003 debut. On January 3, 2011 KMBC pushed Nightline and Jimmy Kimmel ahead a half-hour, starting at 11:37 p.m., citing shifting market conditions making a compelling case to air the two programs a half hour earlier and a request by the network to do so during recent negotiations of KMBC's affiliation agreement with ABC.[9]
News operation
[1][2]KMBC's news open.Under Hearst, the station expanded its local news production. KMBC currently broadcasts a total of 30½ hours of local news per week (with 3½ hours on weekdays, five hours on Saturdays and 4½ hours on Sundays). During the late 1970s and into the 1980s, KMBC was number one in the area but the station ended the latter decade in second place behind WDAF-TV (channel 4). As soon as that station switched from NBC to Fox in September 1994, KMBC returned to number one. Currently, it generally battles KCTV for first place weeknights at 10 p.m. while continuing to battle WDAF for first place on weekday mornings. In November 2007, KMBC finished the sweeps period first in most newscasts and tying KCTV in the 10 p.m. time period.[10] In February 2008, its newscasts won all of their time periods outright.
In 2007, its news department won seven Edward R. Murrow Awards which is the most by a station in the country. The station won awards in the following categories: news series, feature, news documentary, spot news, continuing coverage, newscast, and overall excellence. KMBC unveiled its new purpose-built facility near Swope Park on August 23, 2007 beginning with the 5 p.m. newscast. The new building includes a news set designed by FX Group. With the relocation, the channel became the first station in the area to air local newscasts in high definition. [11]
For many years, KCWE aired no local newscasts despite being a sister station to KMBC. It cited a fear of cannibalizing the station's audience as a reason not to expand news offerings to KCWE. This changed on March 3, 2008 when that station debuted a two-hour extension of the "FirstNews" morning newscast, from 7-9 a.m. As is the case on KMBC, the KCWE newscast is aired in high definition. On July 30, 2010 like most of its Hearst-owned ABC affiliated sister stations did on that date, KMBC added an hour-long extension of its weekend morning newscast at 8 a.m. On August 23, 2010, this was followed by an expansion of its weekday morning newscast to 2½ hours with the move of the start time to 4:30 a.m. (NBC affiliate KSHB, channel 41, also moved the start time of its morning newscast to 4:30 a.m. on the same date).[12] On September 14, 2010, KMBC launched a half-hour nightly 9 p.m. newscast on KCWE to compete with WDAF-TV's in-house 9 p.m. newscast and the KCTV-produced 9 p.m. newscast on MyNetworkTV affiliate KSMO-TV (channel 62). Management stated the reason behind this was due to The CW's growing ratings.
For the February 2011 sweeps period, KMBC was the #1 news station in the Kansas City market with a total-day quarter-hour household rating average of 6.4; the station tied with WDAF-TV during the 6-7 a.m. hour with a 5.4 rating, though WDAF-TV's morning newscast beat KMBC during the 7-9 a.m. slot while Channel 9 aired Good Morning America. The station also placed first among the market's evening newscasts with a 8.1 rating share at 5 p.m., a 9.2 rating at 6 p.m. and a 9.8 rating at 10 p.m. The station's 9 p.m. newscast on KCWE also scored a 1.4 rating for the month ahead slightly above KCTV's primetime newscast on KSMO but well behind longtime 9 p.m. leader, WDAF-TV.[13]

Golf pro's life only gets better in summer
June 2, 2004
CASTLE ROCK " For one week each summer, Bob McNamee has the best job a golf junkie could want.
OK, so you say McNamee has the job with all the great perks all year " sitting in his upstairs office at Pelican Lakes Golf & Country Club, doing paperwork while overlooking the back nine, the Rocky Mountains and the swimming pool.
Well, for one week in August, it actually gets better for McNamee, the head pro at Pelican Lakes.
The toughest decision he has to make is whether to quench his thirst with one of Castle Pines' famous milk shakes, fresh squeezed lemonade or splurge for the Haggen Daz ice cream bar.
For the past decade, McNamee has been one of the starters at The International, Colorado's lone PGA Tour event, played on the pristine, perfectly manicured and lavish Castle Pines layout.
Oh, he may have to decide whether to park next to the patch of fresh petunias or along side of the perfectly trimmed bed of roses bordering one of the tiered parking lots.
Recommended Stories For You
"It's been a lot of fun," said McNamee, whose been known to don his Sunday best just in case the television cameras were to scan his way.
For four days, McNamee sheds the worries about budgets, which Colorado Eagles items to display more prominently in his pro shop, whether the lunch special at Hogan's appeals to his taste buds, or if he'll be able to get in a hole or two before dark.
His biggest concern is how to pronounce Vijay Singh's or Jose Maria Olazabal's name correctly, and to remember Phil Mickelson's hometown.
With a small public address system in his control, McNamee can be heard to say, "Ladies and Gentlemen, in the 10:10 starting time, from Scottsdale, Ariz., Phil Mickelson."
Enough said.
"You don't want to say too much because the time schedule is pretty tight," McNamee said. "Once in awhile, you might add that a guy is the current U.S. Open champion, or the defending International champion, but nothing more. Short and sweet is best."
Davis Love III would be the defending champion, just in case McNamee forgets between now and Aug. 5-8.
McNamee is quick to remind golf enthusiasts that The International is the best opportunity for Colorado to showcase its most picturesque course, featuring hole No. 17, a 492-yard, par-5 hole that lends itself to a lot of eagles for the pros, especially hitting in the altitude.
Castle Pines' 7,594-yard layout leaves most gasping for air for two reasons " altitude and the sights, which include wildlife, mountain terrain, lakes, waterfalls, and some of the most breath-taking homes anywhere in the world.
"I have two goals when I play there," Love told the media last month.
"One is to stay in the plus numbers in the Stableford scoring
system, and to never leave the grounds the entire weekend."
The first two days of the tournament " Thursday and Friday, Aug. 5-6, McNamee is the starter on the 10th tee. He switches to the No. 1 tee for Saturday and Sunday's rounds, leaving him in full view of television crews, the best golfers in the world and every golf aficionado from here to the moon.
"I've made mistakes, sure," McNamee, 47, said. "There was a foreign player one year, and I can't even remember his name now, but I said he was from Argentino instead of Aregentina.
"I apologized to him."
When in doubt, McNamee has learned to rely on a player's caddy for correct pronunciations and information about the players.
Another task is to take a glance in a player's bag, curiously seeking what brand of irons or woods certain players use.
"Most of the irons are Taylor Made irons," McNamee said. "Cleveland brand is another popular one right now.
"Putters are usually Titelist or Scotty Cameron. You don't see too many off-brand putters. I once saw a Seemore putter in a guy's bag. That only happened once."
McNamee is always pleased to see longtime PGA Tour player Peter Jacobsen show up, "simply because he usually has a funny story to tell you. He really seems to enjoy what he's doing."
The positive demeanor of Joey Sindelar is always welcomed by McNamee.
"He's from Long Island, New York, and we always chat a bit," McNamee said. "Mark Wiebe is a local guy too, so I run into him at sporting events sometimes too.
"After 10 years, they start to remember you a little bit."
Or at least McNamee would like to think they do.
There was the time Scott McCarron strolled up to McNamee, shook his hand and said, 'Hey Bob, how are you doing?' I thought that was pretty cool that he remembered my name.
"Then I realized I had my nametag on and he looked right at it."
McNamee came across his week-long assignment by networking, mainly as the president of the Colorado Section-PGA. He says he'll have to be too old to read names before he'll leave.
"It's a lot of fun, and it's a way to watch the best players in the world tee off right in front of you," McNamee said. "What else could I ask for."

* WHO: Pelican Lakes Golf & Country Club head pro Bob McNamee
* WHAT: Tip of the Week: Maintaining a consistent, straight putting stroke
* ADVICE FROM MCNAMEE: "The idea is to line up your putt, visualize it, but also visualize the direction your putter will flow. It has to be straight back, and straight forward. No moving the putter.
"The line of your putter has to be consistent. Balance is extremely important."
McNamee explained that a lot of golfers have started using what he describes as "mallet-head" putters, to enhance the balance in the backswing and the follow through.
"There are three brands that are really popular right now — the Ping Crazy, Titelist Futura and the Odyssey Two Ball," McNamee said. "If your cutting the ball or pushing it right a lot, it means that your putter head is not going in a straight line.
"A lot of the new putters are designed with the weight towards the back of the putting head, the tail or the extension of the putter. The tail cannot be longer than the face of the putter. But what we're finding out is that the longer extension of the putter will make you go straight back and straight forward."
McNamee continually stresses that putting is a game within itself, where a few inches can make a huge difference in a golfer's game.
"If you can't putt, you won't score well," McNamee said. "It may be the one aspect of golf that requires more mental preparation than any other. It all starts with the stroke, which has to be straight."
* No. 10, Pelican Lakes Golf & Country Club
* Pelican Lakes, Windsor
* Black Tees: 455 yards. Blue Tees: 383. White Tees: 354. Red Tees: 304
* 4 for men and women
* 8 for men and women
* This hole is a dogleg right with water on both sides — a lake on the right and riverbed shore on the left.
From the bend in the fairway, it's 133 yards to the middle of the green, which is guarded by sand traps on the left, back and right side. There's also a fairway trap down the right side, next to the water.
The green is average in size, is tiered on the left side, but one of the flatter greens on the course.
* WHAT TO REMEMBER: After playing the front nine where most of the water hazards are on the left side of the fairway, all of a sudden one of the biggest water hazards on the course is now on the right side.
It's best to play this hole from left-to-right, hoping to avoid the water on the right side.
* FROM PELICAN LAKES HEAD PRO BOB MCNAMEE: "This can be a tough hole because of the water on the right. Most golfers hit a left-to-right fade, and this hole actually requires you do that.
"The water on the right can be intimidating. I can sit here all day and watch an average of three guys in every foursome hit into the water on the right."
McNamee suggests that a golfer play the pattern of their normal shot, but to feel comfortable to hit a bit left and let if fade.
"If you fade a lot, you'd better start by putting your drive far left," he said. "From the black tees, this is one of the three toughest holes on the course. From the blue, white or red tees, attempt to just stay in the fairway off the tee, maybe even using a 3-wood, a 5-wood or even a 3-iron. Then you can play you second shot conservatively with a chance to get on the green.
"This is more of a par hole than a birdie hole."

If you missed episode 24 click HERE
"Mom,i'm in trouble.The police wants me.They
want me.."Sonia wailed between throaty sobs.
"Haven't she had enough? Must she do
this?"Adaora kept asking.One could easily
conclude she was asking the broadcaster on
the t.v
"Mom,what do we do now? I do want the police
to catch me.People have seen the
announcement already.What do i do?"Sonia
asked in despair as if the police were already on
their way to get her.
Adaora held Sonia's face and made her look into
her eyes.
"Listen to me.Dont be afraid.You are not going
to prison.That is a promise i'm making to
you.Even if it means me going against my will,I
will do it.You have suffered enough under me.I
dont think i deserve to be called your
mother"Adaora told her,nodding gently,fully
prepared to do whatever might be of help to
Sonia.Even if it meant revealing her secrets
which she knew wont sound good to anybody.
David was kneeling in the church.He had been
there for hours.He was tired,worn-out,weak and
hungry but there was no piece of appetite in
him.The absence of Angela was making him
abnormal.He abandoned his work,which was a
great risk.He had searched every searchable
place for her.No good news seem to have
entered his ears from the police.
"We are trying our best"That was all they kept
He made no sound kneeling there in the church
all alone but he was crying and praying to God
to bring back his wife.
Sonia looked at herself in the mirror,standing
infront of it.The brown weavon Adaora fixed on
her really disguised her.She looked totally
"We are leaving this place immediately to a
more secure environment"Adaora said.
It was getting dark.The sun was no longer up in
the sky.Pehars,it has gone to give other people
somewhere its light.
Angela could hear the sounds of nocturnal
insects and animals.The two guards were there
as usual,making sure the place was
guarded.She had begged them to have mercy
on her,telling them she would give them
whatever they wanted if they let her go but not
even a single word war heard from them,which
left her wondering if they were still there,as she
was blindfolded.
[showad block=3]
She soon felt a hand around the back of her
head and shook her head in retaliation,hitting
the hand with her head.
"Don't let me smack your head"She heard the
angry voice of one of the guards,who brought
his hands back to untie the cloth tied around
her eyes.
Some drop of tears fell from Angela's eyes as
the blindfold was removed.The ropes on his
hands and legs were also untied.
She lifted up her face and present were the old
'dibia' and Ebere with the two guards.
"The gods are ready to accept your blood and
the sacrifice must be made before dawn
tomorrow.So,we have come to prepare you for
the sacrifice"He said,dipped hand into his
animal skin bag and brought out a white chalk
which he circled round her eyes.Angela wanted
to say something to Ebere but she was too
weak to do so.
After circling her eyes to his satifaction,he
brought out a white gown and gave it to Ebere.
"Take off all her clothes and make her wear that
white.Not even her inner wears should be
on.That is what the gods demanded.If she
refuses to let you do it,then the guards will
have to do it with all pleasure"He
instructed,making some incantations.
Ebere looked at the white gown in her hand
and looked at Angela.From,Angela to the two
guards and back to the white gown in his hand.
"Look away,you two"She told the guards who
obeyed and turned away their faces.
She dropped the gown on the ground and
removed Angela's top and her brassiers.She
pulled off her skirts and her innerwears and
then,rolled the gown on her.Angela expressed
no fear while she did all that.She uttered no
word to them.
"Make sure you forgive Sonia in your heart
before you die because i made her do what she
did.She killed somebody and i caught her.I
have a very good proof and so,i told her about it
and told her what she must do for me so that i
do not expose her.And she did it.Yes,i
personally brought her to you because i wanted
to use her to have my revenge on you"Ebere
whispered into her ear,leaving her more
suprised than she was.
"We are coming back by the early hours of the
morning for the sacrifice",the 'dibia' said and
turned to the guards "make sure she doesnt
escape.If she does,you will be used for the
The guards tied her hands and legs again but
this time,by the order of the 'dibia' which he
claimed came from the gods,her eyes were
Angela could see Ebere smiling as she followed
the old 'dibia' out of the place.
Angela looked at the guards,there weren't the
type that hears or understands words as
please,have mercy or i beg.
She looked up to heaven,allowing the stream of
tears to run down her cheeks.
She remembered her parents and David.
"If i die,oh lord,take care of my husband.Give
him the strength to move on"
She laid down softly,praying dawn never comes

Candor Chasma
Candor Chasma is one of the largest canyons in the Valles Marineris canyon system. It is located at 6.6 S and 70.9° W (289.1 E) in the Coprates quadrangle. Candor Chasma is 810.61 km long. Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter discovered sulfates, hydrated sulfates, and iron oxides in Candor Chasma.[1] Hence, water has been present in the past to form some of these minerals. Some researchers examined parts of Candor Chasm to find where a future rover might study sediments preserving traces of past life.[2]
Origin of Name
Coprates is the name of a classical albedo features on Mars. The name was approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1973.[3]
Chandor Chasma was made famous in the novel "Red Mars" by Kim Stanley Robinson as the location of the first future Mars base after the first manned mission in 2026. The idea of "Underhill", the first established settlement, originates from the Hillside settlement as designed by the Mars Foundation's co-founder, Bruce Mackenzie.

Explaining the Cross
In this book, Bob Gordon teaches what the Bible says about the cross. He explains what happened to Jesus on the cross and what it signified. Instances in the Old Testament that predict and foreshadow Jesus' death on the cross are laid out in this book. Calvary was not a defeat, but a triumphant victory. Gordon explains Christ's resurrection after his sacrifice two-thousand years ago and its relevance for you today. Jesus' sacrifice for you means that you can have a new life too, and Gordon teaches how to apply this into your life.

How excited are you to finally be graduating university?
Your first year out of school can be one of the scariest and most exciting of your life. You've probably been going to school every single year since you were five years old. Every September, you knew exactly what was going to happen; there was always going to be a first day of school. Then, all of a sudden, you graduate and for the first time in your life, you have no idea what's going to come next!
Well, congratulations because what comes next is your career, which in the field of mental health we're sure will be incredibly rewarding. Now that you're setting out on your own, what should be your first step?
Setting up systems for a career in mental health can be tricky, as there are so many different programs out there that cater to "generalist" small businesses, like invoicing software, note keeping software, etc. But there's one service that caters specifically to Canadian therapists, psychologists, and social workers, combining all of these elements and more. It's a comprehensive service that acts as your complete practice management solution and it's exactly what you need to start your career in the field of mental health. That solution is Owl Practice and as a new graduate, we're proud to offer you a special program to get you started on your career path and beyond!
New Graduate Program Details
- Access to the Full-Time Solo Edition of Owl Practice with Online Booking (Value = $80 per month) for only $20 per month for six months. Savings of $360!
- Eligibility – Program participation must commence during a course of therapeutic study OR within 6 months of graduation.
- Offer expires after six months OR upon licensure, whichever comes first.
- Offer not available to licensed professionals.
Owl Practice was created for one simple reason: to make things easier for mental health professionals like psychologists, social workers, and therapists. We wanted to be able to offer our services to anyone who worked in the mental health profession, no matter what the size of their practice. So, we've priced our services very competitively at only $80 a month. That's super-affordable to most practices, but can still be out of reach for students and new graduates.
That's why we decided to drop the price for our Solo edition to only $20 a month for current and newly graduated students. That's a huge savings of over $360! With Owl Practice, you can start your career as a mental health professional off on the right foot, with all of these features available to you:
Access Owl Practice From Anywhere
As a newly minted mental health professional, it's unlikely that you'll have a permanent office. This makes it extra important that you're able to access all of your important information whenever you need and wherever you are.
With Owl Practice, your entire practice is at your fingertips. Just take out your smartphone, login, and you'll have access to all of our services: invoicing, appointments, client databases… So long as you have an internet connection, your office will be wherever you are! We offer both iOS and Android apps, and you can also get access straight from your computer's web browser.
Complete PHI Compliance
It's critical to our clients that Owl Practice is 100% PHI compliant. Every province has slightly different regulations about personal health records, but they all have very similar requirements about their electronic record management. We've worked intimately with mental health professionals all over the country to build a system that complies with local provincial legislations, like Ontario's PHIPA. We're serious about how we handle you and your clients' personal health information.
Secure Canadian Servers
With massive data beaches and compromised data occurring every day, mental health professionals need to be sure that any confidential information is safe and secure. That's what Owl Practice offers you. All of our servers are located in Canada (Toronto and Montreal) and are protected by Canadian privacy laws, out of the potential reach of any foreign entities. We use a combination of SQL and MongoDB databases to secure all data in a secure reliable fashion. Our database is also continuously backed up, so there's no chance that any of your data will be lost in the event of an emergency.
Invoicing clients can be cumbersome. Trying to keep invoices and clients straight is made far easier with Owl Practice. You can send your clients invoices directly from the app, and they're all tracked in our balance owing management system until they're paid in full.
Online Appointment Management
As a recent grad, chances are you won't be hiring an assistant to handle your calls. However, the last thing you want is for your clients to call you directly every time they need to book an appointment. It's just not an effective use of your time to be playing phone tag for this kind of scheduling. Owl has the perfect solution with online bookings. Your clients can simply login to Owl Practice to book and manage their own appointments online.
Client Database
As a mental health professional, it's vital that you're able to build up a database of your clients, with the ability to make notes and store documents. With Owl Practice, we've made it easy to compile all of your contact details, notes, to-do lists, and billing information. It's all safely stored in one place.
Get Started With Owl Practice Today!
We know that you're eager to get your career launched, so we want to make it even easier for you. You can sign up for a free demo of Owl Practice today to view our user friendly interface and to get a sense of the robust services that Owl can provide you as a new mental health professional.

1. Re: Help with Observer Rolejacac_663366 Oct 11, 2017 1:10 PM (in response to jacac_663366)
A little more information on this. I was thinking that scanning was scanning, whether you were scanning for advertisement packets to potentially make a connection or for broadcasts when acting like an observer. Documentation says that your scanType must equal Passive(0x00) when you are acting as an observer and that your scanType must equal Active(0x01) when an active scanner for establishing a connection. Clouding this however is that statement that as a passive device, you only receive partial transmission - without scan response data - while as an Active scanner, you generally get both Advertising and Scan Response Data.
I have one device set up as a Broadcaster. This is picked up by Cysmart and by the Observer Project (100 project 100 days), but it is NOT picked up by the Central/Observer Project (100 project 100 days) nor by my code. Interestingly, the scanner in the Observer Project which does work is set to active scanning, not passive, which contradicts the statement made in the documentation. Also apparent is that fact that there is a problem with the Central/Observer Project and it is not functioning as intended.
I wondered about the Radio button in the Observer Project - selecting Observer. It must be setting a mode somewhere so it is behaving normally as an observer. I have been reading the documentation on the EZ Serial and it does imply there are different mode settings for Central Role.
Is this the difference? Is this why I am not seeing broadcasters, since I still am operating in General Discovery Mode? But how is this changed in code? I can see how they change it using the EZ serial platform, but what if I am not using this platform? Also, if scanning and observing really require two different states, how does it appear that Cysmart is doing both simultaneously. This is really the behavior I desire. I really don't want to have to stop scanning before I can start scanning via a required state change.

Hi James,
Let me try to clarify a few things for you.
1) There are 3 types of discovery mode during advertisements: General, Limited and Non-discoverable
2) Broadcasters have discovery mode set to Non-discoverable
3) There are 3 types of discovery procedure during scanning: Limited, General and Observation
4) Observers have discovery procedure set to Observation
Now comes the important part:
5) Devices performing observation receives data from devices performing advertisement or broadcast in all 3 modes, namely general, limited and non-discoverable.
6) Devices scanning with discovery procedure set to General receives data from devices performing general advertisement or limited advertisement.
7) Devices scanning with discovery procedure set to Limited receives data from only from devices performing limited advertisement.
Also, Active and Passive scanning have nothing to do with the discovery procedure. This is a separate parameter and has nothing to do with the discovery procedure.
4. Re: Help with Observer Rolejacac_663366 Oct 12, 2017 7:10 AM (in response to sujayy_46)
Thank you. What is the procedure (i.e., mode change) to switch me from scanning with discovery procedure set to General to Devices performing observation? This is what I am missing. And I assume that I have to stop scanning before actually changing modes.
5. Re: Help with Observer Rolejacac_663366 Oct 12, 2017 7:18 AM (in response to sujayy_46)
By the way, this is where I got the passive versus active. Can you explain? This is from Page 113 of the BLE Component Datasheet. Under the CyBle_GapcStartScan() procedure
· Observation procedure: A device performing the observer role receives only advertisement data from devices irrespective of their discoverable mode settings. Advertisement data received is provided by the event, CYBLE_EVT_GAPC_SCAN_PROGRESS_RESULT. This procedure requires the scanType sub parameter to be passive scanning.
· General Discovery procedure: A device performing the general discovery procedure receives the advertisement data and scan response data from devices in both limited discoverable mode and the general discoverable mode. Received data is provided by the event, CYBLE_EVT_GAPC_SCAN_PROGRESS_RESULT. This procedure requires the scanType sub-parameter to be active scanning.
Clearly, they are implying that the scan type is reliant on passive versus active, though I agree with you, it does not seem to be.
6. Re: Help with Observer Rolejacac_663366 Oct 13, 2017 8:05 AM (in response to jacac_663366)
OK, there does appear to be a bug in the Central/Observer (<100 projects/100 days) which prevents the device from acting like an Observer. The mode change was never implemented, so my broadcaster was never detected.
Make certain you are not scanning (CyBle_GapcStopScan(); ) for change to take effect. Then
CYBLE_GAPC_DISC_INFO_T cyBle_discoveryInfo;
cyBle_discoveryInfo.discProcedure = CYBLE_GAPC_OBSER_PROCEDURE;
//This should trigger CYBLE_EVT_GAPC_SCAN_START_STOP again
To change back to normal scanning mode, again you must stop observing/scanning (CyBle_GapcStopScan();) Then you can either
cyBle_discoveryInfo.discProcedure = CYBLE_GAPC_GEN_DISC_PROCEDURE; for general discovery.
//This should trigger CYBLE_EVT_GAPC_SCAN_START_STOP again
Or you can simply:
7. Re: Help with Observer Rolesujayy_46 Oct 16, 2017 12:45 AM (in response to jacac_663366)1 of 1 people found this helpful
Actually, the spec says:
"A device performing the observation procedure may use passive scanning or active scanning to receive advertising events."
and regarding limited and general discovery, it says "The Host should configure the Controller to use active scanning."
However, the word should is used to indicate that among several possibilities one is recommended as particularly suitable without mentioning or excluding others.
I guess that's why the datasheet says so. I understand, it's a bit confusing.

Quite a few new items of Vorsprung Durch Technik meaning, ?Advancement Via Technology? which tends to make the Audi S4 handle like no Audi saloon has just before. The second optional additional which impressed was Audi Drive Choose, which allows the settings for the active steering, seven-speed S Tronic gearbox (if fitted), active sport differential and adjustable suspension to be tweaked by way of buttons on the dashboard.
Yet another component installed in the business?s automobiles is the oxygen sensor. This diminutive component is strategically placed along the exhaust manifold and close to the catalytic converter as it examines exhaust fumes for the availability of air. When it detects a low oxygen presence in the engine?s mixture, it relays the details right away to the engine control unit. From there, important adjustments are accomplished for the engine to have a very good mixture of cool air and fuel.

Extra to these, the common ones are 1.six litre generating 102 bhp, 2 litre producing 130bhp and 1.eight litre turbo-charged producing 163 bhp.
Via the years, there are Ford Parts that came out that not only strengthen the functionality of the car but at the exact same time hold it ?green?. Ford Motors applied several automobile technologies to additional keep its vehicles ?sensitive? adequate to care for the atmosphere. The catalytic converter, for example, is utilised by the American automaker in its cars, sport utility vehicles, and trucks to hold the noxious emissions on secure levels. With this auto portion intact in the program, technique exhaust fumes developed by during the internal engine combustion is treated just before released into the air. In this way, damaging gases are lessened because of the catalytic converter.
Nevertheless, the engine?s immediate punch and smoothness is really impressive.

Set a new google-maps key
@guyiac noted that event maps on civicrm.org were showing "for development purposes only":
"c.o needs a key from Google Maps, associated with an account that has a credit card against it for any months where there is more than $200 usage (every account gets a monthly $200 credit)"
Guy set a temporary key associated to his company account.
We should change for a key associated to CiviCRM LLC.
@MikeyMJCO Pointed out that CiviCRM.org should not use Google Maps, and instead rely on services that are more free (libre?), based on Open Street Maps. I support this, but would also argue that CiviCRM itself should have better support for those solutions. i.e. it is an upstream issue in CiviCRM. If one exists, then we should use it.

According to latest statistics, the total power supply is 11,600 MW. The gap between generation and demand has resulted into a shortfall of 4600MW due to which load shedding is being carried out on alternate hours. The demand of the electricity is 16000 MW.
The citizens of rural areas of the country are facing more than 15 hours of load shedding while in urban areas, load shedding is being carried out for 10 hours. In Islamabad load shedding of one hour is being done after every hour. The residents of the federal capital are facing severe problems while performing their daily routine matters.
According to officials, there's no chance of increase in electricity production. However the demand is likely to drop due to the change in weather.
Continuous power outage has affected domestic life to a great extent and caused water shortage in many areas of the country. Meanwhile, the traders and business outlets have also been hit hard by the load shedding.

Ghanaian actress Nana Ama McBrown is unarguably one of the happiest women in the world right now following the birth to her first child in her 40s and after about five years of marriage.
Since the birth of the baby girl in the first week of March, McBrown has been excited and has shared many photos and videos concerning her childbirth.
The latest to come from McBrown's camp is a video of her watching over newly born girl as she slept in the house.

Too many non-compliant products are being sold in the European Union (EU) due to weaknesses in regulatory enforcement, according to members of the European Council. On November 23, 2018, ambassadors agreed with the council's new proposed rules to strengthen enforcement of regulations such as the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation and the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive.
Based on RAPEX data, the European Commission estimates that there were 2,500 incidents where non-compliant products were removed from the market between 2011 and 2017, but that it's only "the tip of the iceberg" when it comes to non-compliant products. Members of the European Commission have argued that some companies may intentionally disregard the rules, and that enforcement must be stricter moving into 2019.
The proposed rules would:
- Consolidate the existing framework for market surveillance activities.
- Encourage joint actions by market surveillance authorities from several member states.
- Introduce a digital workflow to improve the exchange of information between authorities and the European Commission.
- Strengthen the framework for controls on products entering the EU for improved cooperation between market surveillance and customs authorities.
- Provide standard training for inspectors and assist with joint procurement of product testing.
The Council's next step will be to start negotiations with the European Parliament with the aim of reaching "rapid adoption" of the proposed regulation.
The EU Product Compliance Network will provide administrative support for joint investigations, and allow authorities to pool knowledge and create best practices for targeted, risk-based controls.
Companies that sell non-compliant products in the EU are opening themselves up to significant risk, including loss of market access, fines and litigation. Under existing law, companies are required to show evidence of due diligence for regulations such as REACH and RoHS, and that third-party supplier documentation is being actively collected and refreshed. Products in scope of RoHS are often scanned at customs to ensure they are free of restricted substances.
The European Commission is taking additional steps to improve REACH enforcement, with plans for a benchmarking meter to measure enforcement across the EU.
Assent's Product Compliance Suite allows companies to collect and manage supply chain data for regulatory compliance and provide due diligence for regulations such as REACH and RoHS. By automating processes, compliance teams can save time and money, while reducing risk across the supply chain.

The main objective for team classification is allowing teams to play within their skill level and bring parity to theUSSSA program. This allows USSSA to develop tournaments or divisions within a tournament for different classes. It also allows you to play in the correct bracket at USSSA World Series events. As teams enter the system the State Director will monitor entries and adjust the class selected as required as USSSA reserves the right to reclassify teams as it sees fit for the betterment of the entire program.
Girls' Fastpitch Class "A" - Any team considered to be the highest level competitive travel team. If your team is normally in or should be in contention to win each tournament you enter and you beat the "better" teams in your state, and you have multiple front line pitchers, then you should consider yourself an "A" team. A small percentage of teams qualifies for A.
Girls' Fastpitch Class "B" - Any team considered to be an solid but average to above average travel team. If your team is occasionally in or should be in contention to win a tournament you enter and you are competitive with most teams like you in your state, and you have good but not overwhelming pitching, then you should consider yourself an "B" team. The majority of teams qualifies for B.
Girls' Fastpitch Class "C" - Any team that typically only plays in a local league, a town league, an all star team from a local league or a team that might only play in one or two tournaments a year. A "C" team is also any team considered to be an entry level or new travel team with kids new to travel softball and lacks the experience and number of skilled players and pitchers to compete on a National or State levels with the higher skilled Class "A and B" teams. A small percentage of teams qualifies for C.
Age Classification - USSSA allows teams to sanction their team with actual age levels (10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, 14U, 15U, 16U, 18U). If your team is comprised of players all of the same playing age please register your team with the exact age level. This will allow CT USSSA to create tournaments and divisions within a tournament with teams of the same age level. Also teams can play at Nationals at their exact age level. Teams are still free to "play up".
For National and Regional World Series events the classification is very important as team are able to compete on the big stage with teams of similar capabilities. "OPEN Tournaments"- Most tournaments will be classified "OPEN" that allows "A", "B" and "C" teams to play together. As team register for tournaments divisions for the different classes may be created. There are always some C events each year and several B events. For National and Regional World Series events the classification is very important as team are able to compete on the big stage with teams of similar capabilities.
Special Registration Process for "C" Teams
As part of our continuing efforts to ensure that the right teams play at the right division of play, USSSA has made a change to our team sanctioning process for the upcoming season.To sanction a team as a C Division team, the coach must first create a team in the system as an A or B team (the option to sanction as C is no longer available through the web site) and then request that the state USSSA director (David Rocha in New England and Gary Gooden in NY) change the team to the appropriate division. If you feel your team is a C team, please contact your USSSA state director. If after contacting them and they deem it may be questionable if your team qualifies as C Division eligible teams, they may request that the team play 2-3 B or higher Division tournaments to prove that you are a better fit for the C Division. You need to discuss that with your USSSA state director. You are in the best position to explain your team's makeup.
Characteristics of teams that need discussion if they will be a C team or a higher level include, but not limited to:
- teams or teams from organizations that we know little about or teams from organizations that have historically fielded A or B teams
- teams that did very well this past season in the C Division and may or may not have been bumped up to B
- teams that did very well this past season and have kept the core of their team intact
- teams that may have added travel experienced players to their rosters
Again the goal is for the C division to have true C teams and for those teams to have quality and competitive tournaments. If you feel your team is a C team, please contact your state director as you register your teams.

A Brief Introduction...
Hi everyone! I first wanted to introduce myself to those of you who don't know me yet…My name is Allison, and I've been Lindsay's trusty sidekick for the past 3 and a half years. I am a lover of organized spreadsheets, corny reality TV, all things pink and green and most importantly, the Internet. I am a hater of ugly chairs, rainy days, bad emailers, tobiko, mayonnaise and ketchup. I was married last year in my hometown of Chicago and will be celebrating my first anniversary with my all-things-wedding-loving husband this weekend.
Beginning today, I pledge to go full force, embracing my new life as a wedding blogger, letting you know all of my deepest, darkest wedding planning thoughts and secrets.
Stay tuned for my daily* dish…

If a tree falls in the forest and there's initially no one there to hear it — but someone, alerted to the event, suddenly runs toward the falling tree — what kind of sound does it make?
In this admittedly convoluted scenario, the tree — according to the moving observer — would make a sound somewhat higher in pitch than if the observer were standing still (or running away from the tree). The reason for this is a phenomenon known as the Doppler effect.
Most of us have experienced the Doppler effect in a familiar scenario: a car horn appears to drop in pitch as the honking vehicle passes. This occurs because the honking car is first moving toward you, and then — as it passes — away from you. To understand what causes this phenomenon, first picture a sine wave:
The distance between the peaks, or crests, is called the wavelength. By dividing the wave's velocity by this wavelength, we can find the frequency — the amount of time it takes for one complete cycle of the wave to occur, crest to crest. With sound waves, the higher the frequency, the higher the pitch perceived by the listener.
Now with this in mind, picture a car, honking its horn, driving toward you. As the car moves, each successive crest of the wave is emitted from a position closer to you, creating the illusion (to the ear) that the wave crests are closer together. Since frequency is a function of wavelength, this has a direct impact on the perceived frequency, or pitch.
The inverse occurs once the car passes, and is driving away from you. As the source of the sound moves away, the wave crests are emitted from positions successively farther, which lengthens the effective wavelength, lowering the frequency and therefore the pitch.

In the 1930s, inventor Donald Leslie was disappointed with the sound of his new Hammond organ when he compared it to the pipe organ installations in churches and theaters. Since traditional organ installations featured many pipes with sound emitting from all around the hall, Leslie experimented with rotating speakers to throw the Hammond's sound in all directions.
Perhaps as an unintended side effect, the rotating speakers produced a chorus effect at slow speeds and a vibrato effect at high speeds. This pitch wiggle was a direct consequence of the Doppler effect, and it turned out that, despite the fact that it still didn't imitate a pipe organ very well, Leslie liked the sound. His invention caught on, and he had a very successful business selling his rotary speakers as an add-on device for organs of many makes and models.
The effect was so popular that many other classic devices (from the Shin-Ei Univibe to the Boss CE-1) were invented with the specific objective of achieving a similar effect in a smaller package.
Watch out for those ceiling fans
If you've ever sung or played an instrument underneath a ceiling fan, you may have noticed that the fan makes tuning difficult. This is also the Doppler effect at work. As sound reflects off of the moving fan blades, its pitch is altered, creating chorusing or beating effects against the sound coming directly from the voice or instrument.
The Doppler effect in music
Some composers and performers have attempted to include this sonic effect in their music. One notable example occurs in Kraftwerk's 22-minute synthesizer odyssey, "Autobahn." At 3:17, you can hear the Doppler effect recreated by a keyboard to mimic passing cars. A similar effect is used in "Trans-Europe Express" (listen here at the 25:01 mark for the effect).
Experimental sound collagist Joni Void turned a sampled ambulance siren into a melodic motif in his track "Doppler."
Of course, tons of artists like Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, Queen, and Pink Floyd made use of the Leslie speaker's signature chorus effect.
Wrapping it up
Although it is somewhat rare for the Doppler effect to become a factor in music performance or recording, it's a fact of physics that does come up from time to time. Keep that in mind next time you decide it's a good idea to sprint toward a microphone with a pair of orchestral crash cymbals!
