MarineLives is an innovative academic project for the collaborative transcription, linkage and enrichment of primary manuscripts, which were originated in the High Court of Admiralty, London, 1650-1669. The end product will be a publicly and freely available online academic edition of the 1656-1657 volume (HCA 13/71).
Our volunteer transcribers are back at work after the Christmas break, and we are celebrating the transcription of one thousand pages since the start of the project. That's around five hundred and fifty thousand words in four and a half months, one third of which have now been edited. We are on track to complete the transcription and text editing of HCA 13/71 by the end of March this year.
A huge thank you to all our volunteer transcribers, who committed to the fourteen weeks of Phase One of the project, which finished on December 14th. In alphabetical order our transcribing associates have been Deborah Ashby, Rachel Bates, Katie Broke, Elio Calcagno, Dr Janet Few, Jamie LeAnne Hager Goodall, Karen Gunnell, Dr Liam Haydon, William Kellett, John Miller, David Pashley, Dr Cathryn Pearce, Andrew Richens, Daniel Richards, Laura Seymour, Ida Sjoberg, and Alexis Harasemovitch Truax.
Likewise in alphabetical order, our transcription team facilitators have been Colin Greenstreet, Philip Hnatkovich, Alex Jackson, William Tullett and Jill Wilcox.
Giovanni Colavizza and Patrizia Rebulla have led our semantic markup efforts, with Giovanni creating the technical platform used by the transcribing teams, based upon the open source software package SCRIPTO. Gordon O'Sullivan project managed the establishment of our PhD Forum.
Our project advisors have been Dr Richard Blakemore (Exeter), Dr Catherine Buchanan (Westminster School), Dr Stuart Dunn (King's College London), Dr Charlene Eska (Virginia Tech), Margaret Schotte (PhD Candidate, Princeton), Jo Pugh (National Archives), and Vikki Corker (National Archives).
We must be doing something right, since half of our team have revolunteered to continue transcribing till the end of March and to finish the volume.
Since Christmas we have reduced our transcription teams from five to two in number.
These are led by two of our team facilitators, William Tullett, a masters student at King's College, London, and Alex Jackson, a recent masters graduate from the University of Sheffield.
Working with William and Alex are Dr Janet Few, Karen Gunnell, Jamie LeAnne Hager, Dr Liam Haydon, Philip Hnatkovich, Dr Cathryn Pearce, David Pashley, and Laura Seymour.
We are down to the tougher pages, written by two High Court of Admiralty clerks who would have benefited from advanced handwriting lessons. If you are an experienced and enthusiastic transcriber who likes challenging texts, you would be very welcome to join us for these last two and a half months of transcription. You can get in touch with our transcription teams using this contact form.
Two successful online PhD forum sessions took place in January – the first on geography, trade, commerce and law, convened by Philip Hnatkovich (Penn State) and Dr Richard Blakemore (Exeter); the second on material culture and language, convened by Dr Liam Haydon (Manchester) and Laura Seymour (Birkbeck College, London).
Participating in the two sessions, in addition to the convenors, were Dr Charlene Eska (Virginia Tech), Colin Greenstreet (MarineLives project leader), Jamie LeAnne Hager Goodall (Ohio State), Sue Jones (Birkbeck College, London), Katherine Parker (Pittsburgh), Dr Cathryn Pearce (Greenwich Maritime Institute), (Margaret Schotte (Princeton), Steven Schrum (Washington University, Saint Louis), and Royline Williams-Fontenelle (Oklahoma).
We plan to hold further online forum sessions and are open to new members, both PhD candidates and early career researchers. You can get in touch with our PhD Forum convenors using this contact form.
Our leadership team is working with our project advisors and our PhD Forum members to develop our goals, project plan and financing for Phase Two of the MarineLives project.
We have identified four potential modules for Phase Two, starting between June and October 2013.
Possible Phase Two Modules
(1) Module: Semantic markup of transcribed text of HCA 13/71
Our aspiration is to develop a TEI-compliant semantically marked up text for HCA 13/71 which will enable us to perform sophisticated searches, and to display data directly as text, and indirectly accessible through a GIS supported environment. We know broadly what we want to do, and have commenced semantic coding, but we need to partner with a university department with strong TEI expertise to ensure we have a robust conceptual plan, and that this module is successfully delivered. We believe that this module could form the basis for a small scale academic grant application.
(2) Module: GIS enablement of HCA 13/71
We wish to display HCA 13/71 text and data in a GIS-enabled environment. This has been mentioned in a recent blog posting, Mapping Marine Lives.
We have taken a look at existing software, and have thought about conceptual frameworks, but we are not GIS experts, and would benefit greatly from partnering with an institution with GIS interests and expertise.
We are currently working with our newly formed PhD Forum to develop a more detailed set of user requirements for GIS capability.
(3) Module: Linkage and annotation
We are interested in linking the data in HCA 13/71 to other primary and secondary sources, both digitally and non-digitally. We have started this process, but are now exploring how we might do this more systematically, both by theme and by source type. We are also exploring possible annotation software which we might integrate into our digital edition on our planned production server. There is the potential to develop a module around this activity, involving both a technical partner and one or more content partners.
(4) Module: Integration of HCA 13/71 digital edition with innovative search engines
We have started discussions with the Discovery search engine team at the National Archives about the potential to integrate our future production server and its associated data and software with the new Discovery search engine.
We are also interested in integrating our metadata into federated and other search engines.
We have a number of innovative ideas about historical search and linkage, and would welcome contact with academics and institutions who share our ambitious vision for search and linkage of primary documents and archival metadata. You can contact us to discuss search and linkage using the following contact form.
Fingers crossed for MarineLives editorial advisor Dr Charlene Eska (Virginia Tech), who has submitted a grant application to the National Endowment for the Humanities, Washington D.C.
Dr Eska plans, if successful, to employ a PhD candidate to work on textual and semantic editing connected to the MarineLives project.
We are interested in hearing from academic publishers who take in an integrative approach to seventeenth century marine and social history.
Potential publication projects include a guide to the High Court of Admiralty, in print and electronic formats, linked to a production server supporting the MarineLives project.

The Art of Garden Designing
The Art of Garden Designing
he difference between a bush, a forest and a garden lies in the layout.
That is what separates a garden from a bunch of green trees and plants. Gardens are
made to look beautiful and to add to the beauty of the surroundings. The gardens have drawn admiration for years, but a wonderfully inviting garden is the
result of careful garden designing.
The entire garden designing procedure should be absolutely functional. Gardens should be designed according the owner of the garden. Do not have racks of a
single plant species, just because it is your favorite. It might spoil the entire design of the garden. The available garden space, proper sunlight and effortless
cleaning are to be carefully considered. A proper garden layout unfolds some revelation or surprise at every corner.
It could be a fountain, an all way wooden pathway or bunch of bright flowers in contrast to the surroundings. Sometimes walls, trellis or hedges are used as
dividers, to lend the designer look. Low walls have minimum maintenance but are a bit expensive to build. The trellis is cheaper and flexible, it is time consuming
to maintain. Low hedges in the garden give it a very natural look. It requires regular trimming to keep it neat. The choice of the garden designing expenditure
depends on the space and time available at your disposal.
The available shape and size of area are important in garden designing. The flower beds grown on square, rectangular or triangular shapes can be placed at
strategic locations, like the corners or the center. It is preferable to enhance an available pond; it works to attract the birds. Garden designing is a personal
choice depending on one's own tastes, so let your creativity flow.
The various styles of garden designing include Asian style, formal, informal, gravel, water garden, cottage style or plain contemporary stylized garden.
The effort and time consumed for garden maintenance has to be considered while garden designing. Asian style generally refers to the traditional Japanese or
Chinese style of gardening where water bodies were a common feature. The cottage gardens add a pensive touch to the surroundings. It is an informal design,
with plants ranging from wild flowers to even vegetables. Contemporary designs have more of a concrete garden than the plants. Formal garden designs are by
and large seen in heritage homes. They consist of geometric shapes and patterns, as far as the trees and hedges are concerned.
Garden designing includes the walls and pavements to be colored brightly, instead of bringing them down. It is convenient to grow a garden along the pavement,
instead of having to make a pavement along the gardens. Often, it is the carefully nurtured natural, unhindered growth of plants which lends that different look
to the garden. Hence, garden designing is not only about getting the design right. It is about applying the right designs for the right homescape.

Why Strategic Tech Abandonment Is Key to Moving Forward
Sometimes the only way to make progress is to leave something behind.
The latest research from the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) shows that almost 70 percent of schools have seen a jump in data collection in the last few years. In K–12 schools, according to SIIA, administrators primarily use student data to track performance, improve instruction and keep parents updated on their child's progress.
As data collection increases, so does the potential to create positive change in the classroom. As discussed in an Education Week feature, the near future of data collection sounds a bit like something out of a science fiction novel — students wearing Fitbit-like devices and learning software that tracks their every keystroke. But the reality is that such forms of monitoring can have a meaningful impact for students.
This year, NPR reported on Grand Rapids Public Schools in Michigan, which used data collection to improve student attendance. The data collected by the district revealed that 7,000 of its 17,000 students were missing more than 10 percent of the school year, which qualified as chronic absenteeism. A yearlong effort to improve that number wasn't very successful, so district officials decided to share the attendance data with the community. Now everyone could see the scope of the problem.
Chana Edmond-Verley, who helped lead the community outreach in Michigan, told NPR that putting the data out in the community made an impact.
"You got the grandmother on the porch, you got the business, you got the police, and everybody is lifting up our kids and pointing the way," she said.
It is these kinds of outcomes that are helping the effort to create "data-driven" schools. Education Week's spotlight on the future of Big Data discussed one such school. AltSchool, a startup with programs in San Francisco, Chicago and New York, is striving to collect all sorts of data on children's engagement, moods and academic performance to facilitate better learning.
The school, which Education Week reports has funding from Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, has developers and engineers working on data collection tools that could be available at their campuses by the 2018-2019 school year.
As with any sort of data collection, concerns for privacy abound.
Last year, EdTech: Focus on K–12 reported on the student data privacy pledge that 200 companies have now signed. Under the pledge, education technology companies that are responsible for collecting student data promise to keep that data "in a secure, private and responsible framework." Employees from these companies have also completed privacy training with the Future of Privacy Forum.
Experts recommend the following best practices for collecting and interpreting student data in a meaningful way.

Strategies for B&B Owners?Quality service always requires cost and this is true among all businesses, including bed and breakfast establishments. Although most businesses of this type are run by families, still, there are other costs that have to be considered in order to satisfy the needs of the clients. Here are some cost-effective strategies for B&B owners. Some may be highly effective but they might cause you to lose your guests. One example is the towels and linens. Some guests would want their towels and linens changed every day. However, there are some guests who would agree to not having these things changed every day. This could help reduce cost but do this only after making sure that your guests are amenable to the idea.
If you live in the rural area and you have enough space, you can grow your own vegetables and raise poultry for the breakfast meals that you prepare for your clients. Bed and breakfast in Europe are known for providing hearty, fresh and native breakfast foods. Growing your own chicken will provide you with egg and meat, which are basic in breakfast meals. Having your own fruit trees and vegetables is a great plus because your clients will have a good supply of fresh vegetables and fruits.
Another way of cutting costs is by giving friendly reminders to clients to unplug electrical appliances and save on water. If they see reminders, their tendency is to stop doing what they used to do in your establishment.
Lastly, you can hire help when needed only, like during peak seasons for tourists. This way, what you spent is returned to you through good sales.
*Have your website included in the list of inns and B&Bs worldwide. To reach 2 million visitors or more each month, have your bed and breakfast listed at the European Leader Bed and Breakfast Euro. Doing so will allow your clients to book online in your B&B, browse reviews about your establishment and reply to queries of potential clients.

"Oh my God, Alex. They're going to kill us, aren't they?" Her lip quivers as she grabs onto my arm.
I grab both of her shoulders and stare into her eyes. "No, they're not. We're going to stay right here and we'll be fine, okay?"
"But they're going to come in after us. We need to leave." Her voice rises with urgency and I know I need to calm her down before she does something stupid out of fear.
"Good. Let them come in after us. We know they're out there. They're not expecting us to be ready for them. We know the layout of this cabin. They don't. We're going to position ourselves in a way that makes it impossible for them to surprise us. In here, we have the advantage."

A mother has been arrested after her eight-year-old daughter was found dead at their east London flat.
The 34-year old is being questioned at a police station today in connection with the death of the child.
Ambulance crews were called to reports of an injured child at the flat in Chadwell Heath at 11.31am yesterday.
A London Ambulance spokeswoman said the child was pronounced dead at the scene while they also treated a woman who was taken to hospital.
Witnesses describe a "hysterical" woman beling led away in floods of tears from the flat in Broomfield Road.
The woman was weeping and trembling as she got into a Ford Galaxy car with officials at around 12.30pm - just an hour after the girl's body was found.
Scotland Yard said detectives from the Homicide and Major Crime Command were investigating.
A spokesman said "A 34-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the incident. She remains in custody at an east London police station."
Neighbours said the eight year-old girl moved into the flat which she shared with her mother and another woman - both described as British Asian - around four months ago and went to a local school.
The two women were described as "friendly" people who "kept themselves to themselves".
Atik Molla, 39, said: "There were two women living at the flat and the girl and a boy around 6 years old who I think was the brother.
"We saw them quite a lot and they were always looking happy. We are very shocked by this they seemed like a normal family. I think the mother was originally from India or Pakistan."
Taxi driver Adeel Mushtaq, 31, who lives upstairs from the girl's flat, said: "I set off for a job at around 11am and saw the woman having a smoke at the back of the flat.
"I was just passing by and she seemed perfectly fine. She said hello.
"Then I arrived back at around 12.30 and saw police vans and officers. I saw her crying. She was hysterical and trembling.
"She was getting into an unmarked car, it looked like a Ford Galaxy. Some plain clothed officials were leading her into it - it looked like they were police - one woman was propping her up as she got in.
"She was crying, just weeping. She wasn't saying anything. Then they just drove away.
"When I came in I saw police were in her flat and I found out the girl was dead.
"It's so shocking, just awful."
Neighbours left flowers to the girl outside the door of their home today.

From Limerick, Ireland, ATLAS - Cillian Doheny (Guitars) & Cillian King (concertina) - perform on Friday 7th July 2017 at Creebridge House Hotel as part of the lineup for the fantastic opening night concert which also features Emily Smith, Jamie McClennan plus the Festival Association house band.
ATLAS compromises of Cillian Doheny (Guitars) & Cillian King (concertina), both natives of Limerick, Ireland, who first crossed paths through the Irish traditional music festival circuit as teenagers. They immediately struck up an intense musical friendship having diverse but similar tastes in music & composition, particularly orchestral/soundtrack and contemporary Irish music.
Making an album together had always been aspiration but with Cillian Doheny touring heavily with his Neo-Irish outfit 'MOXIE' and King on the circuit as a session musician while completing his studies, they decided to use that time to grow as musicians and people, and Atlas was shelved temporarily. However, in late 2014 when the time was right, the pair became housemates in Dublin and began definite work on their debut album. All composition and pre-production for this album took place in the Dublin apartment with both Cillian's still juggling several other projects and studies at university.
In late November 2015 ATLAS launched a Kickstarter campaign to secure funding to record 'Affinity' and with popular demand for the record, they reached their target with time to spare. Filmed and recorded in an old church which has become a centre for the arts in Belfast, 'Affinity' which sees Atlas accompanied by string quartet and percussion, represents all the music these musicians have grown up with and the music they have to grown to love in more recent times. From delicate string arrangements reminiscent of Sigur Rós to cascades of sound from the ethereal world of Jon Hopkins, they have added an ingredient that is inherently Irish to the mix to create a record that encompasses where they have come from and where they are going.
The debut album 'Affinity' by ATLAS was released nationally in Ireland on November 18th 2016 and internationally on January 27th 2017 via Ropeadope Records.Book Tickets Now

My concern about Republican dogma is this: Where are the Christian values they so often refer to as being their hallmark?In response, I wrote my own letter to the editor; just in case they 'neglect' to publish mine (it wouldn't be surprising if they did, considering how liberal a rag the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is), I'll publish it here in its entirety (the writers name withheld)
How can they slash billions of dollars from a food stamp program and not address the insidious corporate welfare for the rich who are the beneficiary of these dollars because of their obscene tax breaks? The poor were mentioned in most of Christ's teachings throughout his life. If we are truly Christian, we know "the poor are always with us." Christ did not waste time talking about the rich except to admonish them.
Maybe the Republicans have forgotten those teachings or prefer to ignore them in favor of listening to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. The Republicans are, by and large, the most self-centered people in this country. And to a person, I would guess they would not give up their Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Those were also programs they fought tooth and nail to prevent becoming law when they were first enacted. They do not talk at all about the plight of the poor and prefer to think of them as invisible.
What we, as Christians, were taught as children still holds true today. It is a measure of our character as to how we react to the poor who "are always with us."
We may be able to fool ourselves and others about how "Christian" we are. We will not fool God on Judgment Day.
[The letter-writer (ed)], in the 28 September Opinions section, rebuked Congressional Republicans for 'slashing' food-stamp benefits and accused them of hypocrisy in their professed Christian beliefs because, in her eyes, this 'slashing' runs up against Christ's admonition to provide for the poor.And no, I didn't mean to make the letter-writer look foolish. They needed no help from me in that regard.
In twelve years of reading the Bible cover to cover annually, I haven't found any Scripture references at all which say Jesus promoted 'government charity' via taxation; His mandate was personal charity – that is, charity given by one person to another. I highly doubt Jesus would have even considered the Roman government responsible for provision for welfare of the people. In fact, by allowing government to arbitrate and dispense 'charity' as we have, far too many of us have neglected Christ's own mandate of personal involvement in charitable giving.
I also fail to find any mention of government becoming or being a charitable institution in either the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. The closest we come to that might be the 'general welfare' clause, but how taking money from one group (which does disservice to their 'welfare') and giving it to others (which services their welfare) promoted a 'general' welfare escapes me.
Thirdly, a 10-minute Yahoo search shows that in 1935, 84% of House Republicans and 76% of Senate Republicans voted FOR the Social Security bill. In 1965, ~50% of House Republicans and 43% of Senate Republicans voted for Medicare. How exactly that can be defined as 'fighting tooth and nail against' either of those programs, I don't know.

I have seen somewhere this strategy, where the guy went really early on wood and for the boars and built the barracks even before the mill. I was impressed by how early his drush arrived at the enemy base. The players were even really close, so it was exceptionally early. I lost somewhere that recording unfortunately, when I switched notebooks. I had a rough sketch of it, and I tried to reconstruct it. Here comes nothing!
The general idea is: get 3 militia out as soon as possible and hit the enemy even before he manages to build his own militia or wall up. From there you could do the same things, as with any other drush: drush-fc, drush-flush. Although I found it easier to do a drush-fast castle from this.
So how do you achieve all this? First of all you have to take boars earlier, otherwise there won't be enough food for villagers and militia. Secondly you build the mill after the barracks. Also having 5 on wood initially helps. At the beginning it's quite tight on wood, so it helps to be celts – the civ I played it with. I think that's enough for the intro. The build goes roughly like this, though it's probably not entirely optimal.
6 on sheep
1 boar
4 on wood
1 build house then barracks, then food/gold
1 wood (5 in total)
1 gold then berries
3 on berries
From here the same as you would with any other drush base strat – either all on food for a flush, or
3 on wood
rest to farms when you can afford them, until then stragglers
3 on gold
Click up around 31-33 population based on your map. You might want 1 extra on wood and 1 waller, just to be safe. With this you can get up to castle age the usual time – 16:30-17:30. That's it basically it. There are a few problematic parts to this – like what if you don't find your boars in time. This is just an optimistic variant. For the other variants I just improvise mostly, but still build the barracks before the mill.
In my experience you can afford to build the barracks just after 5 minutes – a minute earlier than usually. That's around the time it takes to get to the enemy base. The opponent is in for quite a bit of a surprise. I did manage to win against hardest barbie with a variation of this strategy. But that time I went 33 up, went heavy on stone, reached castle age around 17:30 and put up a defensive castle, then raided with crossbows and boomed a bit. Then I dropped a castle on a very nice hill next to hardest barbie defended with a few mangonels and skirmishers and went to imp. In imperial age onagers, a few trebs and a few woad raiders cleaned up everything. Easy game. Unfortunately I didn't have record game on, I only screenshot-ed the achievements. That kill-death ratio, though :D. That huge drop in his military numbers is the point where I put down the forward castle.
I only have a recording here against hard barbie. Not my best game, but hopefully it's okay to show off the build: fastdrush . I only wanted to play a quick game to record the build order for this post. I don't follow the build exactly – usually I improvise quite a lot. This time I only went for a tower early on my forward gold and double range. Reached castle age before 17 minute, started raiding with a few crossbows then just microed away. At the point when I built the siege workshop it was long over and I stopped playing seriously. Anyways, I would still welcome any pointers, where to improve. Some of the mistakes I was aware of in game, because I tried really hard to not mess up the build :D. Later I just didn't care – that's probably bad :
- idling scout too much – should scout more even after feudal
- building an extra house before the barracks – should've had earlier barracks – still started building ~5:15
- very late to build the siege workshop – should've done it before doing extra TCs
- I forgot to mine stone for the TC after I built the tower
- my army control was a bit sloppy, not using stances properly and not watching all
- building placement just a nightmare
- when I did build the siege workshop I picked the worst position ever
Anyways, I hope this build does inspire you to experiment with it! I would like to see other people do it.
In my barbie quest next up are the chinese – one of my favourites – only if the start wasn't so awkward. Good thing in the forgotten they get the teuton bonus of extra TC line-of-sight. I like that change very much, but it kills some of the suspense and fun. Until next time!

Three Ways You Can Make Your Home Smarter
One of the best ways you can save money on your electric bill is by installing smart controls in your house. Here are three easy electrical projects that can make your home smarter and save money at the same time. As with all electrical projects, make sure that you have the electricity to these systems turned off before you do work on them so you don't seriously injure yourself.
Install a smart thermostat
A smart thermostat is an easy electrical project that you can do on your own that will dramatically reduce your energy consumption. When you are looking at smart thermostats, check which systems they are compatible with. Many manufacturers have a compatibility tool on their websites that allows you to put in the name and model number of your HVAC system. Once you have determined that the smart thermostat is compatible with your HVAC system, pay attention to the different wires so that you can reconnect them to the appropriate location on your smart thermostat.
Once your thermostat is installed, you can use it to turn off your HVAC when you are gone. It will also learn when you are gone and at home so that you don't spend energy heating or cooling your home when you won't be around to enjoy it.
Install smart outlets
Smart outlets are a wonderful way to control your electrical usage. They are also a great way to protect your home. When you connect these outlets to your Wi-Fi network, you can use your smartphone to control your outlets to cut power to devices like your entertainment system and other appliances. It is estimated that these so-called vampire devices can add 10% to your power bill. You can also set them to turn on and off automatically so that your energy consumption is cut without needing any intervention.
You can also use this system to mimic your natural movements when you are gone on vacation. You can set your schedule ahead of time, or you can control your outlets on an ad-hoc basis.
Install smart lights
By replacing your light switches with smart switches, you can control all of your lights from wherever you are. While it is normally hard to know what lights are on and off, especially when you have kids running throughout your home, smart switches will help you to see what is on and what is off whether you are at home or not.
As you do these three projects, your home will become smarter and more energy efficient, helping you to save the environment and save money. To an electrical service for more information.

It seems there are even higher expectations this year, which is amazing considering the season you had last year. Can you talk about that and the way the team has approached this season so far?
The expectations are just part of it. When you reach a certain level and you get to Omaha, well, naturally, people think, 'Let's go do it again.' And, that's a little easier said than done.
I think when we started in the fall everybody did a pretty good job of putting last year behind us, and realizing this was a big year. We're setting goals and we're working hard towards those.
Our regular season has been as good as we could have had hoped for and expected. Obviously we're going to be judged on what we do from here on out. So I've got to give our kids a lot of credit. They've been a pretty smart and mature bunch and realized we've just had to work a little bit harder and approach this year like we did last year, and we hope that the results at the end of the year are similar.
As well as the team has done already, do you see the potential to peak even higher in the coming weeks?
I think we've played pretty well since we came out of our exams. I've been really pleased with our last nine or ten games. Other than one snafu at Maryland where we made two errors on one play, our defense has been really good.
We've had production all up and down the line, and we've pitched pretty well. You've got to keep playing at a high level – that's for sure. Now everybody is really, really good.
I do think there is better baseball ahead for us, and there is going to have to be some clutch baseball. There is going to be have to be some luck; and we're going to have to make our own breaks.
It's the time of the year where it's going to to come down to one play, one pitch or one big swing of the bat; and you just have to put yourself in a position to do just that and help your team.
How are you from a personnel standpoint as far as health? And can you enlighten us on your pitching rotation for this coming week?
Everybody is healthy on our team. That has been a huge key for us this year. We've kept our team healthy. Sometimes that's a matter of luck, too. We haven't lost anybody for an extended period of time other than Mike Cavasinni, who had an eye injury
The rotation is we're going to throw Adam Warren Wednesday against Georgia Tech. We're going to Robert [Woodard] Thursday against NC State. We're going to Alex White on Saturday against Virginia. And if we make it to the championship game, we're going to throw Luke Putkonen on Sunday.
How do you go about emphasizing your philosophy on the conference tourney and the importance of the ACC Tournament?
We obviously haven't had the right philosophy. We need to change it, because our philosophy in the past hasn't worked.
We just have to get a win down there. We just haven't had a win in the ACC Tournament in a while. We just need to get a win and go from there.
Do you like the change of format?
Yes, I do. I like the way it sets up your pitching. You get a day off. I know, for us, we're going to get three games – so I like the new format, yes.

"(Manly) resorted to the chequebook and lured player after player away from Souths to Millionaires Row on the northern peninsula. The beginning of the longest premiership drought in our history can be laid squarely at the feet of Manly."
This extract from the Russell Crowe-commissioned Book of Feuds succinctly demonstrates the long-running animosity between the Rabbitohs and Sea Eagles.
That bad blood will boil over tonight as South Sydney attempt to qualify for their first grand final since 1971 against the very foe they blame for their 42-year premiership drought.
WHAT, WHERE AND WHEN: Preliminary Final, Rabbitohs v Sea Eagles, ANZ Stadium, 7.45pm
FORM GUIDE: The Rabbitohs have won both games against the Sea Eagles this season. The first was a 20-12 victory at Brookvale Oval in Round 7 and the second a 22-10 triumph at Bluetongue Stadium in Round 23. The first encounter was a spiteful affair, with Rabbitohs coach Michael Maguire left fuming over the lack of action taken against Richie Fa'aoso for separate spear tackles on Greg Inglis. Inglis exacted revenge in the Round 23 encounter, inspiring the Rabbitohs to a come-from-behind 12-point victory.
MATCH ODDS: Rabbitohs $1.40, Sea Eagles $3.00 (correct as at 3pm 27/9)
TALE OF THE TAPE: MANLY'S Brett Stewart is a certain starter, with the brilliant fullback passed fit to make his return from a hamstring injury. The Sea Eagles will benefit greatly by his return, with their attack undoubtedly more dangerous with Stewart in the side.
Despite his quality performances at the back in the absence of Stewart, rookie Peter Hiku will drop out of the 17-man squad. Jamie Lyon (leg) and Anthony Watmough (knee) have also been cleared and are in no doubt to play.
The Rabbitohs are fresh from their week off and are without any injury concerns. Coach Michael Maguire says his team have been able to rest any niggling injuries and are preparing for the toughest match of their season.
There is some mail that Maguire could promote young half Luke Keary onto the bench, knowing what happened in last year's preliminary final when Adam Reynolds was forced from the field with injury.
Greg Inglis v Brett Stewart
THE last time these two teams met, Greg Inglis returned from a lengthy stint on the sidelines to lead his under siege side to victory. Can Brett Stewart do the same and elevate a struggling Manly outfit to its fourth grand final in seven years? The stats say he can.
The Sea Eagles have won 13 of the 17 games Stewart has featured in this season, while losing five and drawing one of the nine matches from which he was absent.
His elusive speed, timing and sublime ball skills make him incredibly difficult for defensive lines to contain - much the same as the South Sydney custodian. However, Greg Inglis has one distinct advantage over Stewart - his kick returns.
The Bunnies' No. 1 is a much strong runner and, as a result of his 105kg frame, is able to bend defensive lines back when returning the ball, subsequently putting his team on the front foot from the opening tackle of the set. Stewart, on the other hand, is lighter, and is therefore driven back more often.
Adam Reynolds v Daly Cherry-Evans
DALY Cherry-Evans has stoked the fire this week by suggesting Adam Reynolds is not ready for State of Origin. As a result, Reynolds will be on a mission to prove he is still the No. 1 prodigy halfback in the game, and will be keen to show he is just as ready to stake his claim in the Origin arena as Cherry-Evans, who debuted in Game 2 this year.
The last time they met, Reynolds outplayed his opposite, turning the game in South Sydney's favour with two pin-point kicks at crucial moments. However, Cherry-Evans has momentum and good form on his side after putting in a stunning performance last week.
The 24-year-old scored a try, forced two drop outs and provided two try assists to lead Manly to the narrowest of victories over Cronulla. Statistically, they are very different players. DCE is very damaging with the ball in hand when close to the line, whilst Reynolds is known for his ability to force a repeat set.
John Sutton v Kieran Foran
THESE two men have very contrasting styles of play, but are equally valuable to their respective sides. John Sutton is a damaging runner on the left hand side for South Sydney. The defence is always in two minds as to whether he will pass the ball or use his large frame and terrific footwork to try and bust through.
He averages almost double the metres of Foran per game as well as accruing nine more line breaks and 15 more offloads this season. Foran however, is a far better playmaker.
The Sea Eagles five-eighth has 23 try assists to Sutton's 11 and has forced 19 drop outs to Sutton's 13. Their combination with their respective halves partners will be crucial to the outcome of this preliminary final.
Sam Burgess v Anthony Watmough
AGGRESSION, fast feet, hard running and big hits are what you get from these two week in and week out – so don't expect Friday's match to be any different. Both men are specialists at punching over the advantage line, getting a quick play the ball and subsequently putting their team on the front foot.
Watch them attempt to get the better of each other by rushing out of the line and putting a stop to the other's momentum.
However, this head-to-head is as much a mental battle as it is physical. Both men are noted hot-heads and occasionally let their desire to win get the better of their judgement, resulting in a silly error or penalty.
Therefore, expect plenty of niggle between the two as they attempt to get under the other's skin and in turn, grab some cheap field position.
As the Book of Feuds stats show, Manly inflicted a "curse" on the Rabbitohs when they started recruiting their players post 1971. Manly have become a dominant force since and only in recent seasons are South Sydney now considered a powerhouse once again.
Since 1972 Manly have played in a total of 66 finals matches with South Sydney only playing 16. Manly have made the finals a total of 31 times since '72 and the Rabbitohs 10. (23 times Manly have made the finals and South Sydney missed out)
Manly have not won a wooden spoon in that time and on five occasions the Rabbitohs have finished dead last.
The longest streak since '72 is Manly's 11 straight wins between 1993 and '98 while the Rabbitohs despite their problem did manage six consecutive wins between 1984 and 1987.
Overall the Rabbitohs have won an astonishing 20 premierships between 1908 and 1971. The cupboard has been bare since then. Manly, by contrast, is looking to qualify for its fourth grand final since 2007. This is their ninth consecutive finals series appearance.
The Sea Eagles, however, have a poor record against the Rabbitohs in finals. They have won just three of ten games against Souths.
"It's a good yard-stick for us (this game) to find out our improvements. I believe we've improved a hell of a lot right throughout this season compared to where we were this time last year. We get to measure ourselves, but the experience and understanding – a couple of players have played in rep teams now – hopefully we can take that into Friday's game." Michael Maguire
"A lot of people are saying that we're tired but when you get out there, you don't think about those sorts of things. We've probably looked a little tired because of a few injuries but we will be fine. We will come out fresh on Friday and hopefully put in our best performance of the year." Jamie Lyon

Thriving communities begin with each citizen's ability to access and attain fulfilling, quality careers. At the same time, employers must have access to a willing and capable talent pool. Our region, Southwest Central Indiana, is blessed with a diverse array of industries with distinct specialization in the defense, life sciences, and advanced manufacturing sectors. However, a disconnect continues to exist between qualified workforce needed by employers and individuals' ability to obtain meaningful employment within the region. To begin to bridge this gap, Regional Opportunity Initiatives, Inc., the Center for P-16 Research and Collaboration in the School of Education at Indiana University, and DirectEmployers Institute have partnered to create an Educator Boot Camp externship program. The program is modeled after one that takes place in Dubois County. These types of programs aim to foster positive relationships between school systems and relevant local industry, increase educator awareness of the types of careers available regionally, and enable schools to improve career awareness in their students.
Teachers, counselors, and school leaders are invited to participate in a comprehensive, meaningful externship program from June 2-9. This experience will expose participants to the wide variety of industry jobs available in Southwest Central Indiana (SWCI). Each extern will spend 2-4 days within the host companies learning about the skills and abilities needed at different employment levels within the organization.
All educators from ROI's eleven county region and from public schools serving grades K-12 are invited to apply for this program. Fifty educators will be accepted and will be immersed in local, sector-relevant STEM-related industries learn about the quality jobs available and the skills needed to obtain positions in each of the highlighted companies. In addition to some professional development, participants will spend time working alongside industry employees at the various locations learning about safety, quality assurance, lean manufacturing, rules/regulations, creative problem solving, workforce needs and educational attainment necessary for employment.
Each participant shall receive:
- A $750 stipend, for your six days of participation ($125 per day)
- Some travel reimbursement depending on distances traveled
- A certificate of participation documenting the hours spent for Professional Growth Points
- Invaluable experience to be communicated back to your school, students, peers, and community members to increase awareness of local jobs and industry
- Instruction from top-level professionals at Indiana University and Ivy Tech, Bloomington
- Time to network with fellow teachers across the region as you learn about workforce opportunities
This program will run Friday, June 2, 2017, through Friday, June 9, 2017. Deadline to apply has passed.

Creepy Santas Through The Years
Oh what a fine collection of Santa's that would surely make all children... happy?
Check out the arched eyebrow on this Santa, and the smirk on the kid. What dark secret are they not letting us in on. Kind of like a parrallel universe Batman foe with a boy wonder assisstant.
What is sadder than a Santa without a kid, no reindeer or elf. Surely all this Santa has to comfort him is in a small bottle in his pocket. Why a picture by himself? For the grandkids, the resume?
Mom, sometimes it might just be best to stop conforming to holiday expectations. Just because they are children doesn't mean they are always wrong.
I would cry if near this Papa Smurf gone mad.
Both Santa and child wondering how in the hell they got into this.
Is there a look that says ex-con got a job as Santa.
Halloween, Part 27. Jason finds a Santa mask and kills some time at the mall.
Have you yet picked up on a theme here? Santa sure does seem to enjoy crying, terrified children. The more they scream the bigger the smiles become.
My own daughter Lexi at age one, sitting on the lap of a Santa that appears to have just hit the bong. And I'm not so sure aboout Lexi either!
Thanks to Miss Alex and Jen at SuperHolidayExtravaganza for the inspiration.

Interest Rising
June 6, 2017|
Some things just naturally keep your interest. One item of which most college students are acutely aware, and which attracts "interest" each year, is the interest rate that will be applicable to loans taken out for the new award year. Although federal student loans taken out after July 1, 2013, have a fixed interest rate structure, loans borrowed in each award year have a different interest rate than the prior year. The loans to be borrowed in the award year of July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2018, are no exception. And, it is of note that interest is rising. As those keen on this topic may recall, a new method of rate determination came about as a result of the Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act of 2013, which overhauled the Federal Direct Student Lo

Coming from the guy that's been harder on Illinois recruiting than anybody else, props, props, props to the staff for the start to the 2015 class.
A four-star offensive tackle and a four-star running back (Gabe Megginson and Dre Brown) have already given a pledge — that's the same amount of four stars Tim Beckman signed in his first three classes combined (Jihad Ward & Aaron Bailey).
And yes, give me the four stars. I'm all about a success story, a diamond in the rough the staff finds that goes from under-the-radar to big-time player. But I'd rather go with the percentages and bring in those higher-ranked guys. Three-star players are going to comprise the bulk of most classes, but recruits with four or five stars have a better chance of panning out, generate more excitement for the fans and make other highly regarded recruits take notice.
So, again, props to the staff on landing two big-time names this early in the game. Why does it seem like the Illini staff is turning the corner, creating the buzz and putting something stronger-than-solid together?
Here's what I see…
A) The state of Illinois is loaded with offensive talent in the upcoming class. Megginson, Brown and fellow commit Jimmy Fitzgerald are joined by tight end David Edwards, receivers Miles Boykin, Flynn Nagel and Leon Thornton and lineman Quinn Oseland at the head of the list of top targets. Has it been perfect? Of course not. Quarterback Jack Beneventi (Iowa) and lineman Cody Conway (Syracuse) are currently aligned with other schools. But this class is already light years ahead of what happened in the last in-state cycle. The Illini landed but one prospect in the 2014 state of Illinois Top 20, three in the Top 40. That's simply not good enough, and it's something the staff clearly set out to improve...
B) Time is the one thing Beckman couldn't manufacture or change. And it takes time to build relationships and demonstrate what a program is going to be about. Guys like Brown and Megginson have been speaking to Beckman since they were freshmen in 2012. There may not have been enough wins on the field in the fall, but Beckman, with his staff completely intact for 14 straight months, has been able to establish connections, cultivate relationships and reap the rewards.
Talk about the quick start and potential for the 2015 class HERE.
C) On the establishing and developing relationships front, this offensive staff was built to shine. Coordinator Bill Cubit is full of charisma, one of those football guys that's been around a long time but doesn't have that old school feel. Cubit, put simply, is the coolest guy in the room. The current players love him, the media seeks him and recruits have always given positive reviews.
Joining Cubit is a collection of young coaches, full of energy and good chemistry. Tight ends/running backs/recruiting coordinator Alex Golesh is young and driven and has come up with numerous cutting edge ideas to keep things interesting.
Side tangent — I grew up in Georgia. I went to Georgia. I then covered Georgia for four years. Georgia kind of sells itself. That doesn't mean the coaches at Georgia can kick back and watch as the kids roll in (because Alabama, Florida, Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, etc. recruit the same kids), but there's a certain, hey, we're Georgia, we're here, we're awesome, let's go win, attitude those coaches can use to land kids. Illinois isn't there, wasn't there when Beckman got the gig. So what has Beckman and Golesh done? Satellite camps around the state, spring practices and scrimmages in Chicago and Springfield, movie nights in Memorial Stadium, speaking engagements for groups like Core 6, and a whole bunch of youth camps are but a few of the things the staff has done to engage "Illini Nation." Beckman spent time as a coach at Ohio State and Oklahoma State, where things like that didn't have to be done. At Illinois, it is necessary, so props to him for making the adjustment and manufacturing ways to become known around the state. End of tangent.
Anyway, Golesh constantly makes reference to #freaks on Twitter and the whole staff refers to the Class of 2015 as the Fighting Force, both nods to marketing in an attempt to make it cool to interact with the Illini.
Receivers coach Mike Bellamy relies on the hashtag Untouchables whenever talking about his position. You all know Bellamy, a former Illini standout who spent time in the NFL. He's a perfect fit, because he's young, energetic, has been where the recruits currently are and has perspective on the Illinois experience. Coaches can talk and talk and sell and sell, but it helps to have a guy who can genuinely tell parents what goes on down on Green Street or what a degree from Illinois actually when the time comes that football is no longer an option in life. Showing is always better than telling, and the Illini have plenty to show with a guy like Bellamy on staff.
A.J. Ricker rounds out the list, another young guy not that far removed from a successful college career and time in the league. Ricker played for Cubit — again, another example the staff can use if parents or prospective players want to talk about Cubit's offense, fit in the system, etc. All of these coaches are engaging and willing to do out-of-the-box things to make the Illini relevant again.
D) Cubit's offense works and is fun to play in. This is a pretty simple one — Are we going to score? Am I going to get the ball? Am I going to look good doing it? It's been only one season, but that was enough time for Cubit to show that, yes, it does work. And yeah, you'll get the ball. Steve Hull was a wideout. Josh Ferguson a tailback. Nathan Scheelhaase a quarterback. Matt LaCosse a tight end. Aaron Bailey a back-up quarterback. Simon Cvijanovic a tackle. Ted Karras a guard. All had good years in 2013. All are now selling points moving forward.
Feel free to ask the (sometimes) long-winded Fletcher Page a question to dissect HERE.
E) Wes Lunt transferring to Illinois helped legitimize Beckman's program and recruiting ability. You've got to have a quarterback that can be the face of the franchise, and Lunt, an in-state, successful signal caller, easily fits into that role.
F) Illinois provides an opportunity. There's plenty for the staff to use as leverage here. Is Illinois Ohio State, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Michigan, Penn State? No. Those schools have strengths and weaknesses of their own, but Illinois, as bad as the last two years have been, has plenty to sell kids on. There's playing time up for grabs across the board. There's the chance to turn it around. There's an exceptional education offered. The rebranding has been a blast of excitement.
In sum, there's plenty of reasons to come to Illinois, always has been. What the staff is doing is working to remove the reasons for not coming to Illinois, those things that made easy for kids to choose the Buckeyes, the Wolverines, the Irish, etc. instead. Repeating a little here, but the offense now works. The coordinator is a boss. The staff is young, energetic and ambitious. There's exciting players like Lunt and Ferguson to point to. Activity around the state has helped create an identity. The facilities are constantly being upgraded. The jerseys are cool. Some of these aspects are bigger than others, but even the smaller details being paid attention to are helping land big names and providing the chance to sign a complete class.
So… Illinois is off to a great start. Fitzgerald, Brown and Megginson represent hope, hope that the staff can recruit the type of players necessary to get the Illini back in contention for the Big Ten. Those guys are recruiting just as hard as the coaches (that may be a reach, but still), which is as helpful as anything else.
If a guy like Aaron Bailey commits and signs, of course it's a big deal. But he was one big name in a run of classes that didn't exactly have much in-state pop. Allegretti, Mike Dudek and Matt Domer were good gets in last year's class, but there were too many misses at the top for guys like me to get real excited. You land Brown, Megginson and Fitzgerald before May? And have big names like Boykin, Oseland, Edwards and Flynn making multiple visits to camp? Yeah, I'll jump on the feel-good bandwagon pretty quick if that's the case. And it is.
It's not nearly a finished product, but it's a damn good start. The ceiling is real, real high, and now the floor appears to be rising as well. Props to the staff for what has happened. And here's to getting amped about what still might.
Can the same thing occur for recruiting on the defensive side of the ball? That's a (long) conversation for another day (very soon).

In numerology, the number six represents harmony. Pythagoreans credit the number six as the first "perfect" number. So what better date for bride Lauren and groom James to choose for their wedding than six years to the day that they had their first date? And what better place to have the wedding than in paradise?

When Raquel Alphonse and Ted Drougas decided to tie the knot, the bride-to-be knew she wanted a destination wedding. "My dad's favorite 'paradise' was always Aruba," shares the bride. Sadly, Raquel's father passed away two years ago, but choosing Aruba as the locale for her nuptials was a special way to honor his memory and share this day with him.

Christine Petrella Sapra and Surya Sapra, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, recently celebrated their wedding on Aruba at the Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort & Casino. The bride masterfully combined cultural touches from her groom's Indian heritage while also embracing a taste of the island's culture.
The Hyatt is very pleased to add these two new outdoor venues to their Grand Ballroom, Beach Deck and Pool Deck, for a total of six distinctly different settings to provide the dream island wedding any bride could want. Their choices of decoration run the gamut from casual to extremely formal.

I first met Ashley and Nick this past February when they were on the island for round two of planning their dream destination wedding in Aruba, confirming details and signing agreements with their chosen vendors in anticipation of their June 3rd nuptials. Engaged in April of 2015, the couple gave themselves a little over a year to plan the wedding that was perfectly designed just for them. And these two definitely know how to plan a wedding—they are both event planners for Personal Touch Experience, a top catering, event, and wedding company servicing New York and New Jersey.

Police used batons and tear gas to beat back stone-throwing students in the Nepalese capital on the second day of a strike called by opponents of King Gyanendra. A government minister said more than 750 pro-democracy activists had been arrested.
A post office in the capital was set on fire, and students at Kathmandu's Tribhuwan University ransacked the dean's office and briefly held several officers hostage. The students were joined in protests by ordinary workers, professionals and business owners - a sign, the opposition said, of building momentum against the King.
Of 751 people arrested over the past three days, 115 were sent to prison under a tough public safety law that allows authorities to jail people without charge for 90 days, the Home Minister, Kamal Thapa, said.
He warned that the authorities would impose curfews or declare emergency rule if needed. Clashes were also reported at a number of rallies held by the alliance of seven political parties that called the strike.
King Gyanendra called for calm in a speech broadcast live on national radio and television from Birgunj, about 125 miles south of Kathmandu. The remarks were the King's first public words about the daily protests and the escalating violence from Communist rebels. But he did not refer to the four-day strike that has left streets largely empty in Kathmandu.APReuse content
