Samsung Galaxy Note 7: Best cases, accessories and chargers for the new phone
Samsung unveiled its new phone at simultaneous events in New York, London and Rio and afterwards we got a chance to check out all the official cases and accessories for the device.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will be first in the family to come to the UK for a while, with Samsung Europe deciding to skip a generation last time around, so there's a lot of anticipation.
It will be available for pre-order from 16 August and will ship from 2 September, but along with your shiny new phone you'll probably want a natty case or two to keep it protected. And a charger to keep the power topped up.
In typical Samsung style, there are plenty of options, from the practical to the seemingly wacky. So to give you an idea of what to hunt down when you get a chance, we photographed all of them, which we present in our gallery above.
- Samsung Galaxy Note 7 preview
- Samsung Galaxy Note 7: Release date, specs and everything you need to know
- What is UHD Premium and why does it matter?
- Samsung Galaxy Note 7: What's new?
- What is HDR and what TVs support HDR content
- Samsung Galaxy Note 7 hub
Have a flick through to see the whole collection.
Sadly, prices aren't forthcoming right now, but they should be available around the same time as the handset itself.
We particularly like the camera lens cases, that improve the photographic potential of the phone. You're certainly spoiled for choice though.

ST. CHARLES – If anyone was prepared for motherhood, Tina Morton thought it would be her.
But despite her background in early childhood education and reading books on the subject, the St. Charles resident said she felt overwhelmed and unprepared with her firstborn, now 4 years old.
Now a mother of three, Morton seeks to guide expecting moms and dads through the early steps of parenthood.
She is the founder of Cloud Nine Baby Planning, a comprehensive maternity and baby consulting company. She launched the business this year, soon after her youngest was born because she felt a "huge pull" to help new parents.
"I wanted to be a guidance for those moms-to-be," Morton said, adding she aims to "completely and wholly" prepare parents for their new baby.
Her services address birth plans, hospital prep and natural maternity living. Offerings also include helping parents create a baby registry, showing parents how to use various baby gear, stocking and setting up the nursery, and personal shopping.
For example, Morton said, if a woman doesn't have time to shop for nursing bras, she will buy several varieties, bring them to the woman's house and return the unwanted undergarments.
She also provides additional services – such as assistance with home maintenance, groceries and meals – for women put on bed rest during pregnancy.
Through its maternity concierge services, Cloud Nine Baby Planning can connect parents with nanny agencies, doulas, birth educators, photographers and – among other service providers – child safety professionals.
"I've done the research for them," Morton said.

Excerpt of a channeled message about experiencing your heaven on earth:
As we sit together as one, I want to speak to you about your oneness – what some may call Heaven on Earth. I have heard many speak about 'Waiting for Heaven.' Have you listened to that – really listened to the words, waiting for heaven? As we awaken from the slumber we have been living in, we are being welcomed into a new consciousness. I invite you to open to embodying heaven on earth. Heaven in our bodies. Heaven in our breath. That is heaven. You are heaven. You are heaven on earth. There is no need to wait for heaven – for heaven is here, now. You my dear one, are heaven on earth.
It is time to plant this seed into all consciousness – of every living experience from beings to waters to mountains to stones and beyond. This is your mythical journey sprouting – the unfolding of your life. You are awakening to a new relationship with your consciousness – have you felt it? This new cosmic consciousness…this heaven on earth and earth in heaven. Are you awake to your heaven on earth? Breathe that in, dear one. You are heaven on earth.

Heritage Financial makes bigger push into Portland, Ore., with bank deal
Heritage Financial in Olympia, Wash., has agreed to buy Premier Commercial Bancorp in Hillsboro, Ore.
The $4.6 billion-asset Heritage said in a press release late Thursday that it will pay $88.6 million in stock for the $401 million-asset Premier. The deal, which is expected to close in the third quarter, prices Premier at 222% of its tangible book value.
The deal gives Heritage a lift in Portland, Ore., where it already has three branches and $64 million in loans. Once the acquisition closes, Heritage will have nine branches and $408 million in loans around Portland.
The acquisition "is an excellent way for us to expand our franchise in the Portland market," Brian Vance, Heritage's president and CEO, said in the release. "Heritage has significant momentum in Portland and Seattle, which are two of the most attractive banking markets in the Pacific Northwest."
Heritage expects the deal to be immediately accretive to its 2018 earnings per share and 3.3% accretive the following year. It should take less than two years to earn back the deal's expected 0.9% dilution to Heritage's tangible book value.
Heritage plans to cut about 30% of Premier's annual noninterest expense, or roughly $3.9 million. The company expects to incur about $8.3 million in merger-related expenses tied to the acquisition.
D.A. Davidson; Breyer & Associates; and Silver, Freedman, Taff & Tiernan advised Heritage. Sandler O'Neill and Miller Nash Graham & Dunn advised Premier.

Editorial: Student leaders should keep the powerful in check, not cut them a check
By Editorial Board
February 10, 2019 10:33 pm
UCLA's student leaders recently have come under the illusion they're playing a game of catch with their vested power.
The thing is, administrators don't pass back.
The Student Fee Advisory Committee, a body of students, faculty and staff that advises the chancellor on how to allocate tens of thousands of dollars in student fees, rejected a proposal three weeks ago to cap salaries for administrators, a motion put forward by the Graduate Students Association to ensure more university money was spent on students.
The students on the committee didn't reject the proposal based on its merits, though. Instead, one member said he believed they voted against the proposal based on fear of damaging their relationship with administrators, despite feeling personally the cap would help students.
The sudden, hard cap of $202,000 on the salaries of administrators is no doubt an inelegant solution compared to more substantive ideas such as advocating for changes in the administrative structure of UCLA. But students once again ceded their power when they could have sent a message that cutting checks for administrators wasn't a priority.
Once again.
This kind of what-if decision-making has become a trend in the realm of student leadership. Student leaders recently have seen fit to outsource their power to administrators, or make decisions based on administrators' preferences. That's an especially troubling trend since these leaders are elected or appointed to make choices based on student interests, which do not necessarily align with those of university leadership.
The sorest example of deference to administration was during last year's undergraduate student government elections. The Undergraduate Students Association Council Election Board decided to disqualify a candidate for coercing voters to vote for her. But the election board chair overruled his board's decision, admitting it was because of administrative pressure not to reopen what was seen as an already settled case.
[Editorial: Administrators have overstepped role in USAC election process]
In fact, USAC members have deferred on a number of occasions over the past few years to administrators when it comes to crucial decisions. Members have, in the midst of discussion, asked administrative representatives for their opinions on an issue. Seeking guidance about procedural issues from university leaders versed in bureaucracy is justified, but basing decisions on those same members' opinions is a dereliction of duty.
After all, these are the same administrators who sought to exclude students from participating in the Student Conduct Committee – which hears cases of student misconduct and must include student representatives – and who said monetarily settling with those found to have committed sexual harassment or sexual assault can be beneficial to victims of the crimes.
This pathetic trend continued at the recent SFAC meeting. Student governments recommend their respective undergraduate and graduate members for appointment to the committee. Ostensibly, as appointees of elected student officials, they have a responsibility to represent and protect student interests.
Instead, they cowered in front of administrators. If these student representatives are going to make decisions based on what administrators want, there's no purpose in actually having student representation – there would be no difference between the status quo and letting administrators call the shots unilaterally.
Student SFAC members might have felt that passing the salary cap would affect their working relationship with Chancellor Gene Block. But when you're in a position of power, you're going to have to make the hard decisions. Making a decision just to please administrators doesn't cut it.
It also ensures you drop the ball every time.

I loved her novels, but I didn't enjoy these short stories. Quit about halfway through.
One of the reason I like Allende is because here, like in most of her books, I can get relax and enjoy her tales. Some of them more enchanting then others, but at the end they leave me with a smile on my face. I recomment it!

So we all know about frep, the auto-tapping system that many players have been using for a good while now. It is a problem along with account sharing that we have had on Modern War for too long now.
CPL SKI is the orginal source of frep for MW, he has taught it to countless players (mostly only people he wished to use it). Ski boasts of his programming knowledge constantly and is his claim as to why he should be a player rep. SKI denies that it is him of course, even though many players have seen the video. SKI cannot own up to his own actions and continues to lie about it.
This is definetly not the type of player that we need representing MW players. I am not going to post the video here, but if you desire to see it, find me on groupme and I will share it with you. Also if any MOD here wishes to see it, please mail me and I will forward.
SKI's actions are the complete opposite of what we need in a player rep, as a matter of fact his past actions are part of what has caused MW so many problems to this day.
I would ask everyone to take notice, do NOT vote for SKI, he is dishonest and basically a cheater of the game. If you have voted already and wish to switch your vote, I would suggest send another mail in.
I honestly do not know SKI, this is not about a personal vendetta, but what I do know is what I have explained above and that it IS all true. I feel that the community deserves to know this before votes are made.
I am not very keen on the other choices either, but SKI is definetly not the player we want representing MW players.
PLEASE VOTE FOR ONE OF THE OTHER candidates!!!
Also to any MOD, I truly believe SKI should be taken off the ballot to begin with, his past actions have harmed the game.
I would like to add that SKI along with many other frep using players are trying to antagonize me, they added me to The Top 10 room that Barnes owns, a room full of frep players. Though they are the biggest spenders of the game, they are also are all part of why the game has soo many problems at this time. I of course left the room without any convo taking place. If frep is to be allowed in MW, this info should be shared with all MW players, not just the top 10-25 factions.
frep is most definetly effecting faction ranks as well costing lower teams to spend more than they should have to, to obtain certain ranks, this issue needs to be addressed, SKI is most definetly not the player that will do that for us lower teams.

Pretty much every time I drive to the Brecon Beacons, I see the "Sleeping Giant" or Cribarth but I have never walked to the top. I decided it was time to rectify that so parked in Craig-y-Nos and started the trek to the summit. The forecast was for 50mph winds, and they weren't wrong! I had to put my full wet-weather gear on to keep the wind off. I had thermals, fleece lined trousers, micro fleece and fleece coat on too, plus two pairs of gloves – fortunately, I can still easily operate my camera with the gloves on. Walking back from the trig point, I spotted this view. It may not be in the best lighting, but it's got a lot of promise for the right conditions!
Whilst taking photos in the wind, I experienced something I've never seen before – the wind was so strong that it "unzoomed" my zoom lens! After spending a few hours in the rather vicious wind, it was time to leave and go back to the car. On the way down I saw what promised to be a good panorama.
I really enjoyed my time on this mountain and it has an awful lot of potential in the right conditions. I shall be back, but a little less wind next time would be nice!

Testing and Assessments
Eastern Carver County School District is committed to measuring student progress and being accountable for student achievement. For that purpose, the district maintains a comprehensive program of assessment for all students
There are two main types of assessments; formative and summative:
- Formative assessment happens during the learning process and is often referred to as the assessment for learning. Formative assessment is used to diagnose student needs and plan instruction to meet every student's individual needs. Feedback is provided to students while working on a test or project to improve learning.
- Summative assessment happens at the end of the learning process and is often referred to as the assessment of learning. It is used to measure the achievement on a completed task, project or course. Summative assessments are generally used for reporting.
Why do we have multiple assessments?
No single assessment can measure a student's total learning in a school environment. A variety of assessments are important to answer different questions about each individual student. Data collected from assessments, when used properly, lead to improved achievement.
Assessments are one tool used to:
- student achievement levels and skill performance
- students who may benefit from intervention programs
- at risk or gifted students
- student learning
- the effectiveness of our educational system
- student knowledge and skills relative to Minnesota Academic Standards
- educational innovations and curriculum
Improve Instruction
- to guide efforts to adapt instruction to the needs and abilities of students
- by assisting in setting educational priorities for groups or individual students
- to students, parents, teachers, district staff, school board, and community members
- to provide information on student achievement

In the April issue of Memphis magazine, I told the interesting story of John George Morris, who opened a restaurant on Poplar called "The Old Master Says" and even planned on topping the building with a 14-foot replica of his own head. Oh, just read the column; don't make me repeat the whole story here.
Anyway, I had expressed some doubt that the plaster head was ever installed atop the restaurant (since none of my friends can recall such a sight), and I also had a few other questions about this short-lived venture. So I few days ago, a nice packet of materials arrived in the mail from George J. Morris, attorney-at-law in Charleston, South Carolina, who just happened to be John George Morris' son and had read my original article.
Though he is still searching for a photograph, the younger Morris assures me that the giant head was indeed placed atop "The Old Master Says" restaurant, an establishment which, in later years, became home to the Dobbs House Luau. He also says the restaurant stayed in business for several years longer than I said it did, though I believe Memphis city directories listed "The Old Master Says" for only two years. Still, I believe he knows what he is talking about, so it is possible that Dobbs House, which is shown in later listings, continued to operate the restaurant until they finally converted it into the Polynesian-themed Luau (which had its own giant head — an Easter Island-styled one) by the front door.
In the April column, I also casually mentioned one of Morris' other restaurant ventures, a place on Jackson called the Riviera Grille, and his son tells me that was actually a very successful establishment. He sent along quite a few photos of the place (above and below), and it was considerably swankier than I ever imagined. Just look at that fabulous neon sign, which (if you look very closely) also has the slogan "The Old Master Says," which Morris tells me his father actually copyrighted. I've posted some other photos of the place below; you can click on any of them to enlarge the image slightly. The Riviera Grill was located at Jackson and North Watkins; there's not a trace of the building today.
His son also told me this in his letter: "As I stated, other than his restaurant ventures, my father was the first Greek-American lawyer in Memphis, and probably the first in the state of Tennessee, having been admitted to the bar on September 15, 1934. He practiced law with a noted criminal lawyer in Memphis named A.B. Galloway. He married Margaret Gazes Morris of Charleston, South Carolina, who was the first Greek-American schoolteacher to teach in the Charleston public schools. Both of my parents were born in this country — my father in Memphis in 1911 and my mother in Sumter, South Carolina. My father passed away at age 50 from heart failure, not long after we moved to Charleston. He also practiced law here for a short time prior to his death."
George J. Morris concludes his letter by observing that his father "was truly a colorful, dynamic, and unforgettable individual." I certainly agree.

So what we understand as the "teachings of Buddhism" are not the teachings. They are merely the opening gambit of a dialogue between individuals.
What the Buddha says to someone depends on what he knows that person's capacity to understand is. As we listen in we may be confused.
The Buddha is not speaking in absolutes so much as he is administering exactly the medicine this person needs to be cured of delusion and the suffering that comes with it.
"Buddhism," rather than teaching dogma, is a path of practice to directly realize the liberating-truth the Buddha himself had found. What he knew, we can know. Less useful is belief or faith when insight-knowledge and wisdom are what set us free.
The Buddha's message is consistent, but that only emerges over time. He taught for 45 years. In any specific instance, what he is teaching may sound like a paradox or, worse, a tautology (some self-evident piece of circular logic).
However, when we recognize the dialectic pattern, it suddenly makes sense. It is perfect just as it is -- so long as it is grasped properly.
Buddhism has developed and become something different, the growth of a seed the Buddha planted. Some later schools may have gone too far afield, but they tend to return. Nagarjuna's "Middle Way" (Madyamika) philosophy brought this method of dialogue to an extreme in an attempt to counter clinging to views.
Theravada, the earliest existing Buddhist school, has a threefold division of the Dharma. Beginning as a living oral tradition, it was eventually written down. Then commentaries also had to be written down to explain what was missing in the absence of a living dialectic.
Many sutras may seem unbearably monotonous. This is because what was written down was for chanting to be listened to, not read the way we read books. The written parts were lists, formulas, rote memorization and mnemonic devices for oral teaching.
The real reason the Buddha singles out desire (tanha, craving) is not merely dialectical, as Watts suggests. Desire is NOT the ultimate cause of suffering, ignorance is. And enlightenment is the ultimate solution. Craving is one of the proximate causes. But it is the weak link in the chain of Dependent Origination. The Buddha saw it. He recognized it as an escape from suffering, because wisdom can uproot craving when what we crave is seen as it truly is. We can see it and uproot it with insight (vipassana). Willpower, rationalizing, and psychological suppression do not work. Serenity and insight do work.
The unbroken oral tradition remains, but it is rare and usually available only in monastic and meditative settings, which are open to non-monastic and temporarily ordained practitioners. The instructions are not secret, but they are also not printed all over books, which would place them out of context.
However, most monastics or "professional clergy" as Alan Watts refers to them, seem to be involved in chanting and formalities. They do not seem to be involved in the living teaching or practice for the goal the Buddha set out and created monasticism to support. They see their function as preserving the Dharma, sadly, without reaching the goal or being able to effectively guide others to that knowledge-and-vision of nirvana.
The Buddha's words were organized into chants and written in so formal a way that no person would have ever spoken. What was said was converted to this form. And if we cling to the form, we will miss the meaning.
But when we understand, we will be grateful for the form that serves as an excellent device to both learn and skillfully teach what the Buddha taught.

It would appear I have survived Snowmaggedon II: Electric Boogaloo, here in The Burg. We got eight inches of snow and I was sent home early because it was pretty nasty out there. Though not as bad as the last snow we had–at least this time there were plows about and about. At the moment the cold is what I need to worry about, as it's about five degrees outside, and the wind chill as I walk to work will be about fifteen below.
Perfect weather for flying back from Manitoba. But that's not gonna get written for a few more years.
After feeling down and low the night before, I threw on some old music–like early 1970's stuff–and examined what I'd written the night before. I saw where it was lacking, so I did a little editing and a bit of adding, and when I was finished I was far more satisfied with the final outcome.
But that was the stuff I'd already worked on. I needed to finish out the scene.
The class is Self Defense for Beginners. The instructor is Madam Ramona Chai, straight outta Hong Kong, who is never going to come out and say, "I know kung fu," but rather, "Besides t'ai chi ch'uan, wing chun, and southern style praying mantis, I know pencak silat, yaw-yan, eskrima, and krav maga." She also knows how to use the weapons that several of those disciplines use, so you have an instructor who could probably kill anyone with one hand and not a lot of thought.
Oh, and she knows magic.
What better way to scare the hell–I mean, demonstrate how she is looking out for their safety when they get on the sparing mat and face off against one another? Oh, yeah. They will. She pretty much tells them without telling them, which is a very kung fu movies way of doing things, if you think about it. But back to the basic question: how does she show them?
Nurse Coraline comes in, and the two face off.
Up to this point most students know red haired Nurse Coraline as pretty and curvy and ready with a quip. They didn't know she can fight like a demoness, too. Both she and Madam Chai go at each other with super speed–Kerry is reminded of the Martian Commandos in The Stars My Destination, who are able to accelerate their bodies to ten times normal speed–start landing blows, and when all else fails, they began throwing magic at each other. Madam Chai does something that looks like a wall of compressed air, and Coraline jumps up in the air and does a slow back flip like an anime girl before tossing a fireball at the instructor.
By the time the demonstration was over, the kids were able to see that they might get a few bruises here and there, but they weren't going to die from an electrical attack, and students outside the mat didn't have to worry about being consumed by magical hell fire, as there was an invisible barrier that went up when the competition starts.
I'll say this much: I had fun writing the scene. I'd been thinking about it for a while, and when it was time to get it down, I went right at it and didn't stop until it was finished. I signed off for the night happy and even pleased with what I'd done.
I'd had my own fight–and I think I came out on top.

We added our lava to the volcano last evening. Lava consisted of water, red food coloring, dish detergent, baking soda and vinegar.
Prior to adding baking soda and vinegar the boys for some reason had to look inside. (Not recommended).
Here is what our lava looked like. After several times our exterior of our volcano diminished into a pile of goo.

I finished listening to your interview(s) with Randall yesterday, and despite the technical difficulties, you guys pulled it off! It's always great to hear what he has to say, BUT...I was a little disappointed with his outdated views and comments on the Carolina Bays. Myself and Antonio Zamora (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM8bvhhFAB-Wmr-PeEVkGTA) have really been working hard to get more up-to-date information on the topic out there for everyone to see and it seems like it is often overlooked or ignored. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it out to the "Contact at the Cabin" event this year, so it looks like it's going to be up to you guys relay this information (Haha!). Here are a few videos that I think prove Bays must be secondary icy impactors and not wind/water or blowout created:ReplyDelete

It's That Time Again
September 05, 2017
(Giant Swallowtail Butterfly.)
North America, I hope you enjoyed a pleasant Labor Day weekend.
Our Prayers continue for the millions affected by the floods of Harvey.
Yes, we must pray and rely on Him, as we live in a fallen world.
We must learn to rely on Him.
(I'll hide behind this tree, he can't see me then.)
This past week Karen's mom passed away.
She was 93 years old.
Sadly, the last few years she wasn't mom.
Now comes a time for all to heal.
I'm concerned for Karen however, she still hasn't had a good cry.
But, I know a large burden has been lifted from Karen.
So much for a last hurrah to summer this year.
It seems to be a right of passage, when September comes and kids are off to school, we get a bit of a heat wave.
Not this year.
No last visits to the beach.
Jeans weather instead, according to the forecast.
Nothing I can control, might as well make the most of it all.
Thank you all for your kind words on last week's letter on 'Native Grasses'.
Native Plants Rock.
Thank you all for your well wishes on the fur babies.
We are happy to report that Akita and Snickers are back to normal.
Snicker Doodles even gets some play time with the kitties again.
It's That Time Again.
Time to think of migrations.
This week it is preparing for Hummingbird migration.
The Western Hemisphere is the only place on earth you will find hummingbirds.
Yes, we are blessed to have these diminutive beauties, even if only a few short months.
Ruby-throated hummingbirds seem to be every where.
Rubies are the only hummer to breed in the eastern portion of North America.
This time of year, my yard is very busy with the little gems.
My feeders get enough action for close up views, but it is the flower gardens that get the real action.
Hummers like all wild birds, prefer to find food the natural way.
Even though your feeders offer a non stop buffet, they prefer to fly from flower to flower.
It's the way God made them.
Hummingbirds will remain here through most of September (most years).
Even into October on occassion.
My yard is full of hummer favorites.
Red salvia, Black and blue salvia, butterfly bushes, petunia pots, phlox, etc.
Various tall phlox, hibiscus, monarda still in bloom, and other flowering plants offer the hummers (local and migrators), a nice choice for sugar rich nectar.
Zinnias and other flowers that attract tiny insects, also attract insect eating hummers.
They need protein too.
Plan and plant ahead, and you too may be rewarded with Hummingbirds.
It isn't simply about feeders this time of year (remember to keep them clean and filled).
Along the Pacific Northwest, some of Anna's Hummingbird will winter over, enjoying flowers and your feeders.
The same goes for parts of the southwest, and many vagrants hangout in the deep south over winter.
Find Your Hummingbird Species Profiles.Although, as hummers head south and more and more arrive, feeders play an increasingly important roll,
especially as habitat continues to shrink.
Until Rubies and some other species hit the trail, they are still protecting their territory and attempt to keep other hummers from invading their food sources.
Not until migration begins, will they tolerate each other at feeders, and flower beds.
Hummingbirds don't flock as most species will do for migration.
Hummingbirds migrate, to each its own Nature's given time.
No older birds to follow.
Then, the funnel effect comes into play as they head toward the border.
'It's that Time Again'.
Pay Attention Now.
This is when you want to pump your nectar (sugar) water up from 4 parts to 1, to 3 parts water to 1 part sugar
Many flowers offer 33% and up to 50% nectar, and 3 to 1 is actually closer in nectar, than 4 to 1 is.
It doesn't hurt the birds.
You will however, have to clean your feeders more often in warmer weather, as sugar water will turn rancid quicker.
Indeed, it helps them to bulk up for the long trip South.
You may find Feeding Hummingbirds, and Hummingbird Migration South helpful.
You will find how heading south is often a trip of leisure.

Only north bound is dictated on hormones, and often birds are caught in some bad weather conditions yet feel the need to move on.
Yup, those hormones can even get birds in a lot of trouble :-)
As cold weather kills off flowers, some hummers are slow to migrate (often the juveniles).
It is always wise to keep the feeders out a good couple weeks past your last normal sighting.
You may be pleasantly surprised with a late season visitor.

Match report
The Dons finished the season in style with Luke Moores double ruining Shrewsburys promotion party.
Moore made it 10 goals for the season with a well-taken double and he deservedly bagged the man of the match award for his performance. Terry Brown made seven changes from the side that started at Barnet with the most notable being a Football League debut for 19-year-old midfielder Reece Jones. Huw Johnson, fresh from helping the Dons reserves to cup success on Thursday night, earned his reward with a place on the bench due to an injury to Jack Turner. An experimental Dons side, Fraser Franks was also handed a rare start at right-back, struggled to find any fluidity in the first-half against promoted Shrewsbury. Only a routine stop from Shrewsbury goalkeeper Chris Neal to deny Luke Moore threatened for Wimbledon and the hosts needed Seb Brown to be at his best at the other end. With the away fans at the Cherry Red Records Stadium celebrating their promotion success, they almost had a goal to savour when Terry Gornell broke clean through, but Brown got down well to save. The Dons goalkeeper then had to be alert to save with his legs after Mark Wright had got behind the Wimbledon defence.
There was a real setback for young Jones in the 28th minute when he trudged off injured and was replaced by Billy Knott. Wimbledons best spell of the match followed just after the half hour mark though, Rashid Yussuff sparking the improvement with a lovely ball to feed Jack Midson, but his shot was saved at the near post by Neal. There was almost a fairytale goal on his last Wimbledon appearance for skipper Jamie Stuart from the subsequent corner, but he headed just wide from Sammy Moores corner. Wimbledon produced another chance when fine approach play from Midson set-up Luke Moore and he produced a powerful volley that Neal did superbly to tip over the crossbar at full stretch. But the hosts came closest three minutes before the break when Midsons initial effort was saved by Neal, but the striker then chipped over a cross that Luke Moore directed towards goal, but Shane Cansdell-Sherriff got back well to clear off the line.
The hosts were gifted the opener less than two minutes after the break when Shrewsbury goalkeeper Neal dropped a Billy Knott cross and Bryon Harrison was left with the simple task of tapping into an empty net for his second AFC Wimbledon goal. There was better to come from Wimbledon though and this time it was a goal of real quality as Midsons approach play again caught the eye. Wimbledons top scorer may not have hit the target in 10 games, but he has continued to play a key role and he picked out Luke Moore, who delivered a half volleyed finish into the bottom corner that was every bit as impressive. The visitors produced a stirring response though and they were rewarded with a goal back in the 58th minute. It was a scrappy goal as Candsell-Sherriff eventually stabbed home after Seb Brown had saved from Ian Sharps, who had reached a Mark Wright free-kick first.
That setback failed to stop Wimbledons forward momentum though and Sammy Moore had a long-range effort saved by Neal. But the creativity of Knott, who received Wimbledons Young Player of the Year award before the match, unlocked the door again in the 67th minute. The on-loan Sunderland midfielder picked up the ball in the centre of the park and produced a defence-splitting pass that Luke Moore latched onto and finished emphatically. In an action-packed second-half, the goalmouth incidents continued to come and Seb Brown saved a James Collins header, before Yussuff fired just over from an acute angle. Huw Johnson came on for his league debut with 10 minutes to go in place of Yussuff as Terry Brown decided to give another of his youngsters a taste of first-team action. Wimbledon almost put the icing on the cake near the end when Midson was foiled again by Neal, but three was enough to celebrate a fine finish to the season for the Dons.

Picture a very large room with casino tables all the way to the left end of the room, and a Photo Booth all the way to the right. The dance floor was in the middle of this HUGE room.
Although I Dj at clubs, bars, and large party events, doing it in a very large room that has other sources of entertainment can be very challenging.
The RMA Gala took place at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center. At 23,408 square feet, grand does not do justice in describing their Grand Ballroom, the largest in Maryland!
Featuring a beautiful coffered ceiling with stylish chandeliers, rich carpeting, fine architectural and decorative detailing, and capable of accommodating 3,200 guests. Their Grand Ballroom is the epitome of modern elegance.
I am always up for a challenge and getting as many people I could on the dance floor was my goal. I had to use every tool in my box to keep people on the dance floor. I am happy to say that it was a huge success! I kept the atmosphere at a high energy level at all times. Playing a wide variety of music, and interacting with the crowd was key.
At the end of the night, I received many compliments, one being from the CEO of the company and his family. The biggest compliment was RMA asking me to please come back and DJ at their next annual gala!
"We want to book you, and if you are already booked, we will choose the date of the Gala around your availability." Little do they know that words like that remain engraved in my heart forever. Making their gala a success is my greatest joy.

Yeah, edited by Tuli Kupferberg. New York: Primary Information, 2017. 342 pages.
NOW LET US PRAISE the less famous Beats. Naphtali "Tuli" Kupferberg was born in 1923 into a Yiddish-speaking, secular Jewish family on Cannon Street in New York, five blocks from the East River on the madly congested eastern edge of the lower Lower East Side. He died eighty-six years later, only a mile and a half west, having spent most of his life in the city.
A Beatnik bard and a hippie sage, a Young Communist turned anarcho-pacifist, noted in Allen Ginsberg's 1955 poem "Howl" for having jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge (although it was really the less-glamorous Manhattan one), Kupferberg was, with Ed Sanders, the cofounder of the Fugs and the man who coined the phrase "Kill for peace." The raucous song that followed made him something of a celebrity, stalking Manhattan in full combat mode cradling a toy M-16 and flashing a demented orangutan grin in Dušan Makavejev's 1971 post-Godard masterpiece W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism. (He subsequently played the title character in the 1972 underground movie Voulez-vous coucher avec God? as an unkempt, hairy schmoozerlike Middle America's worst nightmare.)
Kupferberg was also a soldier in the mimeograph revolution. Before the Fugs were founded, in 1964, before the Beatles recorded "She Loves You" in 1963, there was his affirmatively titled zine, Yeah. An ephemeral and barbaric East Village yawp that was originally given away or sold for a quarter (and is now preserved and reprinted, inserts included, in a facsimile edition Primary Information published last year), Yeah ran for ten issues, published between late 1961 and mid-1965approximately the period between the Berlin and Cuban Missile crises, and of the apotheosis of the civil-rights movement, the assassination of JFK, and the first escalation of the Vietnam War.
Pondering Yeah as a relic, one wonders whether mimeography should be considered one of the fineor literaryarts. Or perhaps it's something akin to the production of an illuminated manuscript or Torah scroll. Sanders suggests as much with his detailed description of one-man zine production, presumably based on the manufacture of his own zine (Fuck You: A Magazine of the Arts), in his Tales of Beatnik Glory (1975):
He typed the mimeograph stencils, always a tedious chore requiring slow correction of mistakes with an erasing device and rubbery correction fluid. . . . He placed the small mimeograph upon the white metal bathtub-covering and brushed the ink upon the inside of the printing drum . . . put paper in the feeding-tray, and began to turn the handle to print with a feeling of elation that was just about religious. . . . [Although] after all the pages had been printed, there remained the grim job of collating them.
Yeah was not Kupferberg's first zine. Birthdesigned by his companion and, later, wife, Sylvia Topp, its three issues were published between 1958 and 1960was a more overtly serious journal. In addition to Ginsberg, contributors included the Beat luminaries Diane di Prima, LeRoi Jones, and Ted Joans, as well as neighborhood kids such as Jonas Mekas, Ray Johnson, and photographer Norman Solomon.
Birth placed particular emphasis on writing by children and the use of drugs. Yeah seems to have synthesized these concerns, being at once infantile and trippy. The first issue, comprising twenty pages dated December 1961, emblazoned by a weirdly tasteless cover drawing, annotated by some incoherent dialect, and self-described as a "satyric excursion," opens with Kupferberg's declaration that he wants "to put the revolution at the service of poetry" rather than vice versa. The undistinguished poems within include one mildly offensive e. e. cummings knockoff by R. E. L. Masters, who was soon to cowrite (with Jean Houston) the 1966 campus best seller The Varieties of Psychedelic Experience. A center spread of fastidiously arranged newspaper clippings and a back cover devoted to a vintage ad for o.k.-lax "bowel cleanser" augured better issues to follow, although not immediately.
The second number (February 1962) features a Yevgeny Yevtushenko poem (apparently filched from the New York Times) as well as another by "angry young man" Alan Sillitoe (reprinted from the English publication Freedom). Less decorous, the center clippings spread is dominated by the found headline "are our leaders suicidal lunatics?" and includes a detourned Little Orphan Annie comic strip. The back cover is a mock legal waiver to be signed by a woman before having sexual intercourse. An all-but-unreadable tribute to the Marine Corps ("The old gunny says . . ."), transcribed from the Corps's semiofficial publication Leatherneck, further expands Yeah's notion of objectionable material.
By the third issue (June 1962), identified as a "chronicle of the last days," Yeah is positively twitching with nuclear jitters. Kupferberg's screed-poem "A Funny Thing Happened to Me Today on the Way to the Crematorium" is overshadowed by an anonymous, semiliterate piece of hate mail written to an unknown female participant in a midtown Manhattan antiwar demonstration. A bulletin from Alex Comfort (who was later to strike gold with The Joy of Sex [1972]) on the pirate radio station the Voice of Nuclear Disarmament, taken from the British magazine Peace News, further heightens the sense of crisis.
The sense of impending apocalypse continues in Yeah number 4(September 1962), which offers subscriptions for four issues "or until the end of the world." The cover image, a scatological H-bomb joke, is swiped from Paul Krassner's exercise in applied scurrility The Realist. There are two crude yet delicate anti-American political cartoons by the black nationalist Robert F. Williams, then self-exiled to Cuba, and, as a fold-in extra, a complete reproduction of the July 1962 issue of the American National Party publication Kill! From here, Yeah is basically a mimeograph magazine that draws on other publications such as these, just as the early Mad magazine was a comic book making fun of other comic books.
The "Gala Xmas Number" (December 1962), dedicated to the "mass murderers" Kennedy and Khrushchev, announces the "First Annual Worlds [sic] Worst Poetry Contest"pretty funny, in that Yeah published quite a few contenders, not least Kupferberg's travesty of Keats's 1820 "Ode on a Grecian Urn," "Ode on the Chinese Bomb": "Thou still unravished bomb of quietness!" In truth, Kupferberg would prove a better songwriter than poet ("Morning, Morning," from 1966, may be the only Fugs composition to merit the adjective lovely, and "Nothing," from the previous year, adapted from a monstrously ironic, dirgelike Yiddish paean to potatoes, is a masterpiece of Zen Judaism), but he was a marvelously dexterous mimeographer.
Yeah number 7 (December 1963) takes "A Look at the White Problem," with material ranging from pre–Civil War racial caricature to excerpts from The Nigble Papers, a satirical antisegregation newsletter put out by "moderate" white students at the University of Mississippi in 1956, to the Nation of Islam journal Muhammad Speaks and publications from the Information Service of South Africa. The insert is a Canadian pamphlet devoted to police service dogs and annotated by clips: "The Nazis introduced the system all over Europe." There is also evidence of the road not taken in one of Beat-feminist extraordinaire Anita Steckel's paint-distressed photomontages, which places a scowling black man at the center of da Vinci's Last Supper.
Yeah's penultimate issues, published in mid-1964 and mysteriously known as "True Professions" and "True Professions, Part 2," are almost entirely devoted to fastidious arrangements of found materiala mélange of crass commercials for medical procedures, white-supremacist tracts, military propaganda, grotesque classified ads and "Believe It or Not!" newsprint absurdities ("Florida Police Halt Car with Chimp at Wheel"). These amalgams feel analogous to Bruce Conner's early junk assemblages or Ken Jacobs's contemporaneous use of found film footage. (Jacobs contributed several appropriated clippings to Yeah.)
Around this time, Kupferberg and Sanders joined forces to form the Fugs. Sanders's better-known, more-literary publication Fuck You had approximately the same lifespan as Yeah, from February 1962 to June 1965. In July 1965, Yeah ended with a majestic torrent of cuttings as Kupferberg cleaned out his files. The 108-page tenth issue, which sold for ninety-nine cents with the words kill for peace emblazoned as a screaming tabloid headline on the cover (sheet music for the song was included within), is a scrapbook history of Kupferberg's twentieth century, refracted through the prism of American militarismmost impressively in the comic-strip assemblage "Choose Your War!"
As a publication, Yeah might be considered the skid-row version of Harvey Kurtzman's fumetto-driven satirical magazine Help! (which began publishing in the summer of 1960), and is at times even more savage and puerile than The Realist (founded in 1958). As a cultural artifact, Yeah is somewhere on the spectrum between the vitriolic shock collages of the Holocaust-surviving anti-Pop artist Boris Lurie and Lost Lost Lost (1976), the melancholy first installment of the epic diary film by another H-bomb-obsessed DP, Jonas Mekas. As a reissued boxed set, it's a time capsule as well as a work of art, dirt cheap at the price.

The Fayetteville SwampDogs are thrilled to announce the hiring of Ben Krieger as their play-by-play broadcaster and director of media for the 2018 season. Krieger, a sophomore in the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern, comes to the SwampDogs with over three years of experience in sports broadcasting, including a full season of Big Ten baseball.
"I can't thank Jeremy Aagard and Lew Handelsman enough for the chance to grow as a commentator and journalist," said Krieger. "I know the team has had some terrific broadcasters in the past, and I can't wait to continue that legacy and bring SwampDogs baseball into people's homes."
"We're excited to have Ben join us this summer," said SwampDogs General Manager Jeremy Aagard. "He continues a long line of tremendous broadcasters at The Swamp. He will bring a new energy to our broadcasts and social media. Fans can look forward to some new and exciting ideas on the horizon."
While majoring in both Journalism and Economics, Krieger has called eight sports in his time with the Big Ten Network's Student U and WNUR Sports, Northwestern's student-run radio station. He also currently serves as the Marketing Director and a podcast contributor while writing game previews, recaps, and analysis for WNUR.
"I'm incredibly excited to apply all the skills I've acquired to this new role," said Krieger, who will produce both written and video content for the SwampDogs website in addition to his play-by-play responsibilities.
"Ben will do so much more than just broadcast," Aagard said. "We look for him to implement some things that fans have never seen before. Our 18th season looks to be the best yet and Ben is an integral part of that."
Krieger, a Los Angeles native who has grown up on a steady diet of Dodgers baseball, has one role model who stands above the rest.
"Vin Scully will always be my first inspiration and the person who opened my eyes to the power of a good broadcaster," said Krieger. "Good broadcasters make you wish you were at the game, but great broadcasters make you want to bring headphones with you."
Krieger will be on the call via CPL WebPass for every SwampDogs home game in 2018 and will travel with the team for select road games as well. The team begins the season at The Swamp on May 29.

For researchers, by researchers and with researchers
The Sanlam Auditorium on the campus in Potchefstroom was buzzing with excitement as 500 researchers from the North-West University (NWU) attended the first Biennial Research and Innovation Conference.
The conference, which is the brain child of Prof Refilwe Phaswana-Mafuya, deputy vice-chancellor for research and innovation, took place from 27 to 29 November 2018.
The theme for this year's event was "Positioning the NWU for research and innovation excellence, visibility and impact: maximising successes, strengths and opportunities".
During the occasion NWU researchers had the opportunity to share, learn and exchange all the great research and innovation that has brought institutional, national and international awards to the university.
His Majesty Kgosi Leruo Molotlegi of the Royal Bafokeng Nation and chancellor of the NWU delivered an inspiring inaugural opening address. He also visited the more than 40 exhibition booths that displayed the NWU's excellent research and innovation projects.
With more than 50 speakers from various faculties, organisations and institutions, this conference was like no other. Some of the eminent speakers included Prof Ahmed Bawa, chief executive officer of Universities South Africa, Prof Jonathan Jansen, president of the Academy of Science of South Africa, and Prof Stephanie Burton, vice-principal for research and postgraduate studies at the University of Pretoria. Other speakers included Mr Imraam Patel, deputy director-general of the Department of Science and Technology, Dr Phethiwe Matutu, NRF group executive for strategy planning, Mr Chief Mabizela, Chief Director: DHET, and Prof Olu Babbalola, vice-president of the Organisation for Women in Science in the Developing World.
"During the sessions many people were also engaging in conversation," said Prof Anel Du Plessis, SARCHI Chair at the Faculty of Law. "I have spoken to colleagues and postgraduates in our faculty who have surely made new connections and gained valuable insights in the research landscape of our university and the country."
"This conference was a huge team effort involving all faculty leadership, portfolio departments and their staff, as well as postgraduate student volunteers who worked tirelessly for the conference to succeed," said Prof Phaswana-Mafuya. "I would like to thank the vice-chancellor, Prof Dan Kgwadi, without whose visionary leadership, open mindedness, desire for positive change and confidence in me this event would not have taken place.
"I also feel extremely blessed and highly privileged to work with such a cadre of nationally and internationally renowned researchers and innovators who are game changers in their respective fields.
The conference proceedings were made accessible to the entire world through live streaming.
Prof Kgwadi also congratulated Prof Phaswana-Mafuya and her team on a job well done.
Here are from left Prof Awie Kotzé, executive dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Dr Phethiwe Matutu, NRF group executive, Kgosi Leruo Molotlegi, NWU chancellor, Prof Refilwe Phaswana-Mafuya, deputy vice-chancellor for research and innovation, and Mr Chief Mabizela, chief director at the DHET.
