PISCATAWAY — Joe Martinek doubled his rushing yardage and touchdowns from his freshman campaign, but Rutgers' starting running back wasn't completely satisfied with a sophomore season in which he rushed for 967 yards and nine scores.
The way Martinek saw it, he could've topped the 1,000-yard plateau.
""I watched film a lot during the offseason and that's something I noticed — I left a lot of yards on the table last year," Martinek said. ""That's one thing I've been focusing on and tried to get better at this spring."
From the looks of today's performance in the Scarlet-White scrimmage, Martinek met that challenge. The Hopatcong High product rushed for 116 yards on 16 carries and scored a touchdown in leading the Scarlet to a 16-7 victory before a spring-game record 20,114 fans at Rutgers Stadium.
""I've just tried to be a complete back, a big-play threat at any moment," said Martinek, who capped the scrimmage's opening drive with a one-yard scoring plunge and highlighted the day with a 52-yard run. ""I've just tried to get stronger, faster and develop my skills toget better. I feel like I've definitely made strides toward that."
Martinek said he tried to create a mindset to run straight ahead — or "north" in football-language — throughout the spring.
""For me," Martinek said, ""east and west in D-I college is hard because there's a lot of fast guys."
According to Rutgers coach Greg Schiano, the 6-foot, 215-pound back is getting better at taking the ball upfield rather than dancing side-to-side.
""He still has to get vertical faster, but he's gotten better at it," Schiano said. ""At times he reverted back (to running east-west). It's a habit. What he did is he did a better job of avoiding people in the open field. A year ago he'd mostly run over people, and dip his shoulder."
SCARLET-WHITE HIGHLIGHTS: In addition to Martinek's exploits, Tom Savage threw for 181 yards on 17 of 30 passing, freshman wideout Quron Pratt hauled in eight receptions for 55 yards and San San Te drilled all three of his field goal attempts in leading the Scarlet team to victory.
Steve Shimko engineered the White, completing nine of 17 passes for 111 yards, with a touchdown and two interceptions. His TD pass to Keith Stroud was one of the game's highlights, as Stroud delicately kept his feet inbounds while hauling in a reception in the front corner of the end zone.
SPRING AWARDS: Defensive tackle Charlie Noonan, wideout Tim Wright and defensive back Khaseem Greene were the recipients of the three spring football awards.
Noonan, who started all 12 games he played in at nose tackle last fall, earned the Frank R. Burns Award, given to the Rutgers player who displays extraordinary mental and physical toughness during spring practice.
Wright, who played in 12 games last season but didn't record a reception, took home the Mark Mills Second Effort Award, given to the most improved offensive player. The redshirt sophomore from Wall Township heads into next season with a good chance at starting opposite Mohamed Sanu at wideout.
Greene, who appeared in all 13 games and started once at free safety as a sophomore last fall, earned the Douglas A. Smith Award, given to the most improved defensive player.
D'IMPERIO DRAFTED: After making history with two Scarlet Knights selected in the first round, Rutgers saw only one player go in rounds 2-though-7 of the NFL Draft.
Ryan D'Imperio, who started the past three seasons at middle linebacker for the Scarlet Knights, was selected in the seventh round today by the Minnesota Vikings.
D"Imperio, the No. 237 pick overall, finished third on the Scarlet Knights with 76 tackles last season.

Dental implantology has made huge strides in just the past 20 years - but the concept is anything but new.
The idea of a tooth replacement anchored permanently into the jaw has been around since antiquity. Archeologists know the ancient Egyptians tried to implant precious stones into the jawbone where teeth were lost. Half a world away, Mayan ruins in Mexico turned up jawbones with tooth implants carved from seashells.
Tooth loss is one of humankind's most common afflictions - and permanent replacement one of dentistry's fondest dreams. If you have a missing tooth or teeth, you probably understand why.
Fast-forward now from the Third Dynasty to today's dental research labs. Three major research advances - all in the past 15 years - combined to make dental implants practical and workable in a wide range of patients.
Tooth implants substitute the rooting of 32 individual teeth with a few metal anchor posts onto which snaps either an overdenture or a fixed bridge. Investigators found that posts made of the metal titanium were strong, non-toxic over years in the mouth, and biologically compatible.
The next critical discovery was the concept of "osseointegration" - in which the healing jawbone actually grows into the dental implant post. This union is capable of sealing harmful bacteria out of the bone tissue.
Credit the computer revolution with the final critical breakthrough: Computerized Tomography (CT) can be used to develop a model of the jawbone's surface. This eliminates the need for preliminary surgery required to make impressions of the jawbone. For certain patients CT imaging can make tooth implant surgery a one-step procedure.
Teeth implants aren't for everybody. But research technicians have expanded its potential beyond the dreams of - well, certainly Ramses II.
All dental implants are not the same. Depending on how big the implant itself is, it will be classified as either a standard dental implant or a mini dental implant (sometimes called a denture implant).
Regardless of size, they are all titanium implants that fuse to the patient's jawbone and form the base for replacement teeth.
Two out of three dentists offer dental implant therapy, found a recent survey. One out of five think that regular dental implants are always better than mini dental implants.
However, the majority of dentists think mini tooth implants are good for a variety of patients.
A mini implant is smaller and thinner than a regular dental implant. In addition, mini tooth implants are also considerably more affordable. The mini dental implant surgery is also less invasive, takes less time, and heals faster.
"Mini implants have worked very well for my patients because of their low cost and immediate loading," said one dentist. One way dental implant dentists and prosthodontists use mini implants is to help denture patients.
When a patient's dentures don't stay put, the lower denture can be stabilized with mini dental implants; this is known as denture stabilization. The bottom denture will then snap onto the implants, offering better support and retention.
Mini dental implant surgery can appeal to patients since mini dental implants cost less. "They make dental implants affordable for many," declared one dentist.
"There is seldom an occasion anymore when I can't replace traditional implants therapy with minis," raved another. "I'm so thankful I can now offer a less expensive alternative that still brings a lot of joy to those patients that receive them."
Mini dental implant therapy works well for some patients, but it is not for everybody. "Mini implants are good for patients who don't want or can tolerate regular implants, but failure rates are higher with these minis," said an Arizona dentist.
A patient's dental implant dentist or prosthodontist can help determine the best course of action.

First he was given a name. Then consciousness and memory developed, and, finally, ego. But everything began with his name.
Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage by Haruki Murakami is somewhat of a coming of age story (better late than never) of Tsukuru Tazaki. In high school he was part of an inseparable group of five friends. Each had a color in their name (red, blue, white, black) except for him. After graduation they all stay in Nagoya, but Tsukuru goes away to Tokyo. They remain close until his sophomore year when he goes home for a visit and is told that his friends will no longer associate with him. Shocked, he asks why. He is told, "That's not something I can tell you… Think about it, and you'll figure it out." Tsukuru accepts this. In the group of five he has always felt the odd man out. He doesn't have a color in his name. He has no exceptional abilities or stand out characteristics like the others. In fact, he is surprised he was allowed into the group in the first place. But this doesn't mean their decision doesn't hurt. He spends the next six months on the verge of suicide, but eventually is able to snap out of it. He goes on living, but now mainly sees himself as an empty, colorless vessel without much to offer the world.
Fast forward — Tsukuru is in his mid 30's and has fallen in love for the first time with Sara. Sara senses that there is something in Tsukuru's life that is holding him back. He opens up to her about the story of his high school friends and she encourages him to go seek them out, find out what happened and gain closure so that he can move forward in his life. Tsukuru heeds her advice and goes on a journey that will take him back to his hometown and all the way to Finland in order to get to the bottom of this mystery.
After reading a few Murakami novels you'll begin to be able to predict exactly what will be in his next book. So it was no surprise that his newest novel included: thoughts of suicide, soul mates, logic vs intuition, simple, healthy eating, and an emphasis on music (for a fun article about the music in Murakami's books go here). And, of course, the book was filled with emotionless, robotic, Bones-esque dialogue.
Because of this commonality between stories it can become confusing at times as you begin to merge what happened in one book with the current one you're reading. But don't take this to mean that I think it's necessarily a bad or played out thing!
This particular book, however, left me unsatisfied and the reason for that is that the magical element was lacking in Colorless Tsukuru, which is what I look forward to and expect in a Murakami book. So it is always surprising when it doesn't happen, especially when Murakami hints of magical things to come throughout the book: weird dreams, mystical stories, mysteries, Finnish elves in the woods… But in the end this was just a basic story of a man figuring out who he is without the help of another, magical reality. If you loved Norwegian Wood, then you'll probably enjoy this more than I did. But if you were hoping for another Wind Up Bird, then you'll end up a bit disappointed.
That amazing time in our lives is gone, and will never return. All the beautiful possibilities we had then have been swallowed up in the flow of time.

(KPL) The Lao PDR will benefit from reforms to strengthen fiscal sustainability and financial stability and incorporate green growth principles into development planning with support from the World Bank.
The USD$40 million Second Programmatic Green Growth Development Policy Operation financed by the International Development Association (IDA) was signed by Deputy Minister of Finance Thipphakone Chanthavongsa and World Bank Country Manager for the Lao PDR, Nicola Pontara. The financing aims to support the shift to a more sustainable growth model in the Lao PDR.
The operation supports a suite of policy reforms seeking to mainstream green growth principles across sectors: making infrastructure more resilient to mounting climate risks, managing pollution that harms human health and productivity, and improving management of water resources, forests and protected areas. A cleaner and more resource-efficient growth model helps the poor, who are most vulnerable to pollution, climate risks, and deforestation.
The Lao PDR has made great strides in its transition to greener growth, including the recently approved National Green Growth Strategy to 2030. Earlier this year, the country established its first national parks, and the new water law has improved management of river basins. We are pleased to support these efforts, while also strengthening the country's fiscal framework, said Nicola Pontara, World Bank Country Manager for the Lao PDR. In addition to protecting the Lao PDR's natural resources, a fiscally and environmentally sustainable growth model can create a healthy environment for the citizens of the Lao PDR and help generate new livelihood opportunities.
The operation supports the Lao PDR to enhance its fiscal sustainability by supporting a medium-term fiscal framework aimed at improving revenue generation, strengthening debt management and public financial management, and enhancing the stability of the financial sector.
This operation, the second in a series of three, builds on the foundations established in the First Programmatic Green Growth Development Policy Operation approved in 2017.

It's a heartbreaking moment when a foodie learns they can no longer consume dairy. Goodbye, iced cream; so long, creamy latte. Fortunately these "goodbyes" and "so longs" to favorite dairy-filled treats don't have to happen, and it's all thanks to revolutionary dairy alternatives.
While some may prefer to leave out dairy from food and drinks for dieting purposes, many cannot enjoy it regardless. Veganism and lactose intolerance have paved the way for a brand new trend in the foodservice industry, especially among coffee shops and cafes.
According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, 65 percent of the world population develops lactose sensitivity or intolerance after infancy. It is no wonder why so many consumers are looking for ways to enjoy the foods they thought they would have to give up permanently.
Many popular chains are jumping on board with this by adding lactose-free options to menus, or by substituting dairy-free products in certain drinks and meals. Following in their footsteps could be a great way to bring in customers you would not have had otherwise.
Here are some things you can do to make your shop friendlier to those seeking dairy substitutes:
Replace milk with soy in culinary creations: Soy milk is a very popular dairy alternative used to replace milk in coffee beverages. Soy milk is made from crushing soybeans and boiling them in water.
Soy milk can be added to just about any recipe that requires milk. According to OneGreenPlanet.org, soy milk can easily be used for sauces and savory dishes. It is also great for baking because it has high protein content.
Use soy milk in hot beverage favorites like lattes and chai: By offering your coffee drinkers their favorite creamy beverage with a dairy substitute, you are sure to make them feel loyal to your business. Food and beverage establishments that feature a menu for various diets are more in tune with customers' needs.
Some brands offer soy beverages specially designed for use by baristas. These are formulated to withstand high heat and to create microfoam for coffee beverages.
One of the unfortunate caveats of soy is that many people have an allergy to it. Thankfully, there are other dairy-free options including coconut milk and almond milk.
Use almond milk in barista-quality beverages: One of the most exciting things about almond milk is it is so well received that many companies have created special almond milk beverages to pair perfectly with coffee drinks, protein shakes and various culinary creations.
Almond milk is made from crushed almonds and water. It is a bit lower in protein compared to soy milk and regular milk, but it is lower in calories and high in fiber.
Use almond milk in meals and desserts: Like soy milk, almond milk can be used to replace dairy in many sweet and savory foods. According to Food and Wine magazine, almond milk adds richness to many foods.
"Almond milk is also great in place of dairy milk in French toast, bread pudding, mashed potatoes, creamy bisques or curries, ice cream (churned), baked goods and, of course, smoothies and milk shakes," according to the magazine.
What are some food and drink creations you would like to try using a dairy substitute? Let us know in the comments.

I am working on a tray that my son organized years ago after the last Carnegie Museum Show. It is about 1/3 brown to orange gemstones, 1/10 purples and the rest pinks to reds. I have not really looked at this tray for years and it is a bit surprising the number of fine, faultless pink to red ovals I cut in the early days. Now pinks to reds are the most common tourmaline rough, but that was not always the case. Green dominated for most of the time Brazil was the only really big source for tourmaline. Viva la pink/reds.
This smaller oval is another winner for the pink team. Its tone level is medium dark with average flash. It appears to be eye clean and weighs 1.45 carats.

Trendy small kitchen designs are clear and very simple. Most people need their kitchens to have a rustic, nation feel to it. Others want a replica of a heavy-obligation 5-star-lodge kitchen. The peculiarity of nation kitchens is that each one its cupboards and counters are made of wood to give an authentic ambiance.
The kitchen designs often consist of fireplace like cooking centers, loose furnishings pieces and tables used as islands, however had ample of open storage areas. Using Quality Cooking area Cupboards will elevate the value of your area. To compile more ideas visit kitchen format showrooms, try objects and design on the net and take data.
The top of it may be used as a working house, while the cupboards under can be used as a storage place. In contrast to bigger kitchen areas (which give you extra design freedom) small kitchens need to be optimized for operate before you take aesthetics into consideration.
To make the bona fide environment full, country kitchen flooring might be made from hardwood ground paneling for the required rustic look. There are few designs these days more common than country kitchen designs. Lighting should be enough sufficient should you resolve to have a small island in your kitchen house.

A contemporary kitchen house ought to be pleasant and welcoming to guests.

Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins, Jim Rohn.
Investing in property may seem like today flavor of the month. However, due to the large amounts of money changing hands, it is not something that you should try without proper training and guidance.
When I first started investing in property, I spent a lot of man hours educating myself. I bought every single book on property that I could lay my hands on. I spent a lot of time and effort attending workshops and seminars. When I had become confident of my abilities, I ventured out and bought my first property.
Buying my first property did not mean that I could now stop learning about property investment. In fact, it was the exact opposite. I was now spending more time learning the different property investment strategies; I was attending more seminars and courses and reading specialised books on investing. Had I stopped learning after my first purchase I would not be a successful property investor today.
A couple of weeks ago, I did some research to see what courses were being offered to help people get into property investment. Quite frankly, I was shocked by the results. I found single day courses and workshops ranging from RM500 to RM10,000. And, thats not all.
I even found several portfolio companies requesting 6 figure sums in return for an off the shelf property portfolio! Today, every other person appears to be offering a property investing course. How do you choose which one is right for you?
Firstly, my advice would be for you to not pay anyone to buy a property portfolio for you. If you want success in property, you need to understand at least the basics of property investing. Paying someone a truck load of money to buy a few properties for you will not give you this knowledge.
Attending property courses should by definition increase your knowledge of property investment. However, prior to parting with any money you need to address the following issues:
- What are the credentials of the course organiser? Is he/she a property investor himself and how much experience does he/she have?
The best person to advise you on property investing would be someone who walks the talk – theres little to gain from a presenter who has never bought a property before.
- What are the course contents? Will advanced techniques be addressed?
Its the advanced techniques used by successful property investors that will set you apart from all those other wannabe property investors.
- How many people will be attending the course?
A course attended by hundreds of people may lack the personal touch, but will present networking opportunities to you.
- How much and how long is the course?
Paying several thousand Ringgit for a one day course is too much. You need to weigh up the cost, length and contents before making up your mind.
- Will I be given the opportunity to network with other attendees of the course?
The property business is a business of relationships. You need to network with others in the same business as you will not be able to do it alone.
- What is the location of the venue?
Is it worth travelling hundreds of miles to a course that may be offered closer to where you live?
- What support will be provided after completion of the course?
Course attendees quite often become unstuck after attending a course. You need to find out if any support is offered after you complete the course.
Only once you are satisfied with your answers to the above questions should you part with any cash.
Be warned though, attending a course by itself will not make you into a successful property investor. What will set you apart from any other attendee on the course is your level of motivation and determination to succeed in property investing.

The insurance industry is full of great career opportunities. You can work for large insurers, brokers, and find your niche in the ever-evolving InsureTech space. Those within the industry realize this, but many others don't.
The trouble for insurers is they have difficulty attracting top young talent to the industry. Many people assume insurance careers are boring. Much like the stigma associated with other traditional industries such as accounting, insurance jobs today are very different than what there were in the past, especially with progressive organizations.
Here are some key recruiter tips for identifying top insurance talent:
Insurance continues to make strides toward becoming more digitized. Therefore, insurance sales candidates must be well versed in technology, online sales tools, and digital sales tactics, as the industry focuses more and more on attracting and selling to customers online.
As with sales reps in other industries, it's important to understand a candidate's motivation and driving force. Are they all about making money? If so, you could risk underwriting poor insurance business. Hire insurance sales professionals who have the right approach and are motivated for the right reasons.
Working as an insurance broker or agent and focusing on insurance sales can lead to a variety of other positions within the industry. Try to get a sense of where the candidate wants to take their career long term. Look for candidates who can fit immediate and future needs to keep top talent in-house.
Insurance is a very specialized industry. There is a lot of insider information, rules, regulations and terminology to learn. Therefore, it can be a steep learning curve for sales candidates who do not have insurance industry experience. Test a candidate's knowledge to see how much they know about the industry. If they don't have much experience, ensure they have the drive and desire to ramp up quickly.

This baby hasn't even been born and it's already falling victim to lame-but-hilarious dad jokes.
The father-to-be leans in close to his very pregnant partner and makes fart noises, cackling as his startled child jumps in alarm.
(FYI for those grossed out by this: it's pretty common to see about-to-be-born babies move through their mother's skin like this. The miracle of pregnancy!)
You can tell the kid is going to have to put up with a lot of crap from its dad in the years to come.
Keep watching for more funny fatherhood moments.

In the timeline, Constantinople never fell to the Ottomans, and became an independent city-state, and later nation-state.
In the ATL, the Black Death never reached the city, and a different, less expierenced Ottoman general invaded. Although the city was damaged, the local government (in the absence of the dead Byzantine monarch) negotiated a peace treaty. Constantinople would run its own affairs without fear of further Ottoman military aggravation, but the new country would allow the empire open borders. The Byzantine empire collapsed only days later, leaving the economic powerhouse of the Kingdom of Constantinople in its wake.
Constantinople expanded in to the former Balkans in the coming centuries, staying along the OTL Greek coast, and claiming some of the islands once left lawless by the fall of the Byzantines.
Because of Constantinople's status as a basic satellite state of the Ottoman Empire, the country fought on the side of the Ottomans in every conflict they participated in, from the Conquest of Cyprus to World War One.
With the help of Constantinople and many of the former Central Powers, the Turkish War of Independence was defeated, and the Ottomans survived for many more years until 1939, when World War II began. The empire balkanized after 650 years of strain, and Constantinople, now and independent and free nation, expanded its borders into the lawless regions of OTL Turkey, Georgia, and Armenia.
Following World War III in 1962, Constantinople reformed the United Nations in the capital city, becoming a centerpiece of world politics.
By 2000, Constantinople had become an influential nation in Europe, being the heart of Eurozone development, a hotspot for European football having hosted the UEFA Championship five times, and a symbol of national struggle.

Kodak Black dropped by Jimmy Kimmel on Monday night to perform the song "Testimony" from his sophomore studio album Dying to Live. The project spans 16 tracks and includes guest appearances by Lil Pump, Juice WRLD, Travis Scott, and Offset. It also received an endorsement from Drake, who reached out to Kodak via text to let him know Dying to Live was one of his favorite albums of "the last 5 years."
Prior to Kimmel, the Florida rapper's promotional run for the album included an awkward interview on Ebro in the Morning. During the sit-down, Ebro touched on Kodak's ongoing legal issues, including a 2016 incident in which Kodak allegedly raped a teenage girl in South Carolina. "I feel like sometimes when n***as be going through shit, like, y'all be entertained by bullshit," a visibly upset Kodak said. "Change the subject, or else I'm finna walk out."
Moments later, the rapper stood up and stormed out. The rape claims resulted in charges of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Kodak's trial will begin in spring 2019, where he will face up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
Despite the messiness of Kodak's appearance on Hot 97, it's looking as though all the surrounding controversy actually paid off. Hits Daily Double reported on Monday that Dying to Live made an impressive debut this week, and is expected to garner a total of 60,000-70,000 thousand album equivalent units, 4K-7K of which will be pure album sales. If all goes according to plan, it will be the Florida rapper's first number one album.

Nine clusters to simplify the operator challenge in making the best use case choices for 5G
5G has quickly become top of mind for consumers and businesses alike as a network technology with the potential to improve a large variety of use cases. But with the large potential also comes the challenge for operators to choose which use cases will drive their initial investments. This blogpost is about a strategy designed to simplify the choice: a quest for easy that reduces 200 use cases down to just nine use case clusters as the basis for network planning.
One use case challenge operators face today
During the last 18 months, Ericsson has done deep dives into the market potential for 5G based services. We evaluated the global 5G potential for 10 different industries on top of the natural evolution from mobile broadband for consumers to Enhanced Mobile broadband.
The combined insights from this work made one challenge stand out:
How do operators match the most attractive use cases with the right network coverage and capabilities?
Our studies analyzed around 400 potential use cases and found that around 200 use cases in 10 industries were enabled or enhanced by 5G, which creates a larger number of individual requirements to be placed on the network. Even for a small subset of the 200 use cases, the complexity surfaces. How do you create one network serving a spectrum of use cases with different go-to-market and deployment challenges?
The challenge for operators can be simplified if we could deal with groups of use cases that have similar go-to-market and deployment challenges for multiple use cases, with the goal to make use case planning manageable and tied to the right network characteristics, and the added benefit of creating use case synergies across industries.
Introduce use case clusters to simplify planning
A new report from Ericsson outlines a new innovative approach, where use cases are grouped into use case clusters and a cluster contains use cases with similar go-to-market and deployment challenges.
The underlying network can be designed to support one, a few or all use case clusters. Operators can start with one or a few clusters and gradually build network coverage and capabilities over time. Such a strategy creates focus in addressing go-to-market and deployment challenges one cluster at a time, and creates potential for immediate business expansion within a cluster once the cluster model has been proven for the first use case.
The need to define unique business cases per use case remains, but becomes centered around business projections and ecosystem development on top of a clear capabilities per cluster once the go-to-market and deployment models have been vetted for the first use case in a cluster.
Examples of use case clusters
Based on the similarities between use cases we have found the following nine main clusters:
- Real-time automation
- Enhanced video services
- Monitoring and tracking
- Connected vehicle
- Hazard and maintenance sensing
- Smart surveillance
- Remote operations
- Autonomous robotics
- Augmented reality
These nine clusters cover 90 percent of the potential for the 200 investigated use cases. The business potential in each cluster is defined around three industries representing at least 70 percent of the potential in each cluster.
So, with the clear potential to define high-level network roadmaps one cluster at a time, what can be done now? What can be done on the way to 5G? With this in mind, we must still respect the 'lag' we can see before 5G has reached widespread network penetration. And finally, we must consider what will represent the full-blown 5G experience? And the network required to support full use case potential.
Great questions to ask to validate if you can benefit from a cluster-centric 5G strategy
The following questions can support you and your team to evaluate if use case clusters address your challenges:
- How many use cases do you see as candidates for 5G proof of concept trials or commercial deployments 2018-2021?
- Where do you see similarities and differences between go-to-market and deployment challenges for different use cases?
- How have you grouped the use cases today to reach a manageable number?
- How do you plan to expand into adjacent industries and use cases from your initial use case?
- How much of your 5G business potential is concentrated to the 3 clusters you target first?
Thank you for engaging on use case clusters – you can read the full report to discover how use case clusters can support you on your journey to 5G. Be sure to contact me directly if you want a deeper dive on the subject.

FALL RIVER — Sophomore Tyler Stewart had six of his 24 kills in a deciding fifth set that propelled visiting Taunton to a 3-2 boys' volleyball victory over Durfee in Division 1 South Sectional tournament action Thursday.
The Tigers dropped the first two sets and rallied to win the next three, winning the match 22-25, 15-25, 25-17, 25-22, 15-10.

"In the first two sets, we never played with a lead," said Taunton JV coach Tom Giatis, filling in for head coach Toby Chaperon, who was ill. "Our energy level was low early, but when we finally got a lead, we came to life. The energy was better and we were anticipating better than we did in the first two sets."
The eighth-seeded Hilltoppers, who earned a split with the No. 9 Tigers during the regular season, led throughout in the first set and then dominated in the second to take what seemed to be a commanding 2-0 lead.
"We rocked them in the second set," said Durfee coach Brendan Kelly. "It's a helpless feeling when you feel the momentum get sucked out of you. Momentum is a part of volleyball, but it's tough when you feel it shift. You try to make adjustments and you don't want to over coach."
That Durfee momentum seemed to evaporate midway through the third set when the visitors snapped a 9-9 tie with a 7-0 run with Gage Kingman serving points 10-16.
Taunton held a 22-17 lead in the fourth game before the Toppers cut the deficit to 23-21. A Stewart kill gave Taunton a 24-21 lead and the Tigers eventaully won on a service error by the Hilltoppers, tying the match at 2-2.
Durfee held an 8-6 lead in the fifth, but Stewart extended an 11-10 Tiger lead with two straight kills and a dink to help put the match away.
"I've had Tyler since the eighth grade," Giatis said, "and it's been fun watching him grow into the player he is now. He's so poised out there for a sophomore and he's very coachable. He took over this game."
Kingman finished with 16 kills for the Tigers, who will now travel to New Bedford to face the top-seeded Bears of GNB Voc-Tech in the quarterfinals on a date yet to be determined.
For Durfee, Danny Keyes led the way with 21 kills, while Nelson DeCarvalho had 15 and Nilin Nehra 14. Andrew Saunders had 48 assists, while Nate Kuchar collected 22 digs and Nicolas Cardoso had 18 digs.
'It's a tough one," Kelly said. "They all played well. This group allowed me to coach them all year long. They all accepted their roles. They've all done everything I asked times 10. It's a type of team I love to coach. They deserved better."

Lumi vs. EJami, Who Do You Choose?
Ok, I thought it might be time to see where everyone stands on the whole Lumi vs. EJami issue. I've championed Lumi for years but because of how Lucas has treated Sami over the last year or so its allowed me not to feel bad about rooting for EJami once in a while. I'm really quite torn actually.
So where who do you vote for? Lumi or EJami?

4th – 7th April 2019
Grand Palais
21st edition
A Gaze at Women Artists in France
Southern Stars:
An Exploration of Latin American Art
The place to be for modern and contemporary art in spring in Paris
Art Paris is the place to be in Paris in spring. Favouring a thematic approach and open to all mediums, from 4th -7th April 2019 the 21st edition of the fair will bring together 145 modern and contemporary art galleries under the majestic glass roof of the Grand Palais.
An identity all of its own
Art Paris has an identity all of its own. It is an international art fair that focuses on a regional exploration of european art from the post-war years to the present day, whilst placing special emphasis on the new horizons of international creation, whether from Asia, Africa, the Middle East or Latin America.
A Gaze at Women Artists in France
Curated by AWARE: Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions, the 2019 edition presents a critical and subjective overview of the work of women artists in France, from the post-war period to the present day. 20 speci c projects by women artists will be selected from amongst the exhibits of participating galleries and AWARE will produce a text that summarises the question. Each of the 20 selected projects will be speci cally highlighted in the fair's promotional material.
AWARE: Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions was founded in 2014 by art historian Camille Morineau, whose speciality is women artists. The association aims to create, classify and distribute information about 20th century women artists. www.awarewomenartists.com
Southern Stars: Bogota, Buenos Aires, Lima and Mexico City
Art Paris forged its reputation by broadening the scope of art and exploring foreign art scenes. The 2019 edition will present a survey of the new, e ervescent and highly stimulating artistic environment of four major Latin-American capitals: Bogota, Buenos Aires, Lima and Mexico City, each of which has managed to preserve its own identity, whilst maintaining numerous contacts with the other capitals.
Art historian and independent exhibition curator Valentina Locatelli will be in charge of this focus, which will highlight the speci c identity and diversity of these four cities with a selection of galleries and artists. Special additional projects, such as a video programme, conferences and the production of monumental wall art, aim to provide a new perspective on Latin American art today.
Solo Show: encouraging monographic exhibitions
Monographic exhibitions are a special moment in an artist's career. They help develop a better awareness of their work and, in so doing, add to their reputation. Ever since 2015, Art Paris has been encouraging the presence of solo shows, which are spread throughout the fair.
"Promises": supporting young galleries and emerging artists
"Promises" is a section located in the central part of the Grand Palais that plays host to 14 galleries with less than six years of existence. The participating galleries may present no more than three emerging artists. The fair nances 45% of the galleries' participation costs.
Paris, the world art capital
With the opening of private foundations, bold new architecture, dynamic institutions and an active art market, Paris is more than ever a world art capital and a place to be. The fair's special VIP programme, "Springtime in Paris", illustrates the e ervescence of the Parisian art scene this spring, while highlighting the Latin American presence in France.
ART PARIS 2018 in figures
58,789 VISITORS FROM 50 COUNTRIES • 6,500 m2 AT THE GRAND PALAIS • 142 EXHIBITORS FROM 22 COUNTRIES • MORE THAN 1,000 ARTISTS FROM 73 COUNTRIES • 44 % FOREIGN PARTICIPANTS, 56% FRENCH GALLERIES

In continuing to support the ELD Initiative capacity-building endeavours, a second ELD MOOC was offered by the Initiative. Building off the 2014 ELD MOOC, which focused on performing cost-benefit analyses to promote sustainable land management, the 2015 ELD MOOC addressed the importance of working with relevant stakeholders to implement sustainable land management choices effectively and sustainably.
Options and Pathways
The course introduced approaches to identify options and pathways for action, methods to identify stakeholders, and how to establish a basis for initiating engagement and discussion. At the end of the course, participants would develop their own stakeholder engagement plan. This MOOC helped participants understand how to effectively engage with stakeholders, and address and remove barriers to the successful adoption of sustainable land management. It drew from a range of publications, guidelines, examples, and case studies (inclusive of both successes and failures in order to identify best practices), selected under the guidance of experts of the ELD Initiative.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, participants were be able to:
- Describe examples of possible options and pathways for the adoption of sustainable land management;
- Clarify the objectives of stakeholder engagement;
- Identify the main stakeholders involved in land management;
- Undertake a stakeholder analysis;
- Identify most appropriate stakeholder engagement instruments in specific cases;
- Prepare material for engagement and discussion with stakeholders;
- Critically assess conditions and skills required for successful stakeholder engagement, and;
- Develop a stakeholder engagement plan.

I'm pretty sure you'll like wondering is that The Nola Chic is doing hanging out with "The White People, A White Boy" 🤔 My life and brand stand for coming together with other like-minded souls, who not only love New Orleans but love people. At this point in my life, I don't see the color or even family, but how people treat other people and me. As, we know family or let's say blood does not automatically mean togetherness, love, etc.
FYI: The "White Boy" as some of us say as a term of endearment, a show of this White Man is my people or in slang "I fuccs with him, this my dawg"
Anyway, we were not on a date, but friends are hanging out. As we as he's assisting me in certain areas to grow as a brand, such as educating not just one group of people on New Orleans culture.
He showed me His Nola, his version of New Orleans and seeing New Orleans through the eyes of a white guy growing in the 7th Ward in the 80s-90s was very similar. He experienced some of the same things black New Orleanians experienced, but he stated he felt ostracized and bullied initially. It didn't take long for the neighborhood kids to trust his family wasn't there to hurt them and he and his family were embraced by our community. The color of one's skin falls to the wayside, now if you do not bleed Black and Gold……You better pretend to and scream Who Dat with the rest of us.
It would be something beautiful if we could find people who are willing to share that they do not entirely understand the culture and want to be a part of it and ask the people to teach them how to do so respectfully. But instead people come to New Orleans stays in as Airbnb, go to the Quarters, and they claim to know our culture. The first step in being a part of the general perception of New Orleans is making that 1st interaction and a simple hello.
Most of the tourist is very passionate about us, Black New Orleanians. And it's not because, they have black friends and relatives, I believe these select few personally know ones our struggles, hardships, and love for our city.
My goal is to use my platform to raise awareness about life in New Orleans. Just think how more enjoyable it would be to live, love and enjoy New Orleans with anyone who loves our culture and understand the heart of the people.
Like my friend here and me, he showed me, Nola, alright and danced better than any man I ever danced with in a long time. Men need to go back to dancing, slow dancing, two-stepping and leading a lady on the dance floor, well we took it to the Nola streets. Let's just say I had a fun-filled sensual Nola Night with my friend! Football, dancing, a stroll on Bourbon St. and ending it with some great food from Verte Marte in the French Quarter!
Verti Marte is a must for tourist and locals!

Hologram 10-Pack - Mix & Match (SAVE 40%)
There's a reason why hologram decals are becoming more popular than pigs in rain boots... These stickers are mind-trippingly nifty when you turn them back and forth in your hands or when you walk past them in the sunlight.
BUILD IT YOUR WAY: Create your own superbly discounted pack of my premium hologram stickers exactly how you want it, and for a big discount!
LOTS MORE MIX & MATCH! This pack is part of a much larger collection of Mix & Match packs you might just love. Be sure to check them all out.
MY GUARANTEE: Not all hologram stickers are created equal. These premium stickers are absolutely vibrant and ridiculously more resilient than most. [MORE INFO BELOW]
WANT THE INDIVIDUAL STICKERS? Do a quick search on the shop and whatever you're looking for should pop right up.
Mix & Match Your Pack:
Pick your surfaces and sticker them with purpose…
Rest assured that you'll be able to use these ridiculously resilient stickers/decals on your favorite water bottle, car, bathroom mirror, Trapper Keeper, laptop, or on any other surface you are (rightfully) obsessed with covering.
When you first feel these vinyl stickers, you'll understand that some stickers are just… nicer
- Water may try, but it can't hurt these stickers
- Direct sunlight's got nothing on them
- Extreme weather might as well just walk away right now
- Even your heated dishwasher is going to sit and sulk when it can't do any damage to these bad boys
"Unique" is these stickers middle name
My shop is the only place you'll ever find these stickers, and since every sticker I sell was created from my creative brain to you, without the rest of the sticker world in mind, you know you're getting something different and special.
Happy shopping. You're really going to like what I send you.
If you haven't hit the checkout button (just yet), how about a few (totally pointless) sticker thoughts from yours truly?
- Stickers are like tattoos for your things. Once you get one you like, it's really hard to not want another (and another)
- Cheap stickers are like cheap tattoos. You tend to get bored of them quickly and they are a real pain to remove
- "Sticker" rhymes with "liquor,' which is the name I should have given my dog since I'm always yelling, "don't lick her!" (sorry, not sorry)
- I never thought I'd grow up to be the "sticker guy." And if I am a sticker guy, does that mean I never actually grew up?
- I currently ship my stickers to the USA, Canada, England, Australia, and New Zealand only.
- FREE Shipping on all U.S. orders over $25. Free shipping on Canadian orders over $45.
- All orders are shipped out within 1-3 business days (depending on which option you choose at checkout).
- Priority shipping options are available.
- All stickers and stationery are well-protected during shipment.
- I guarantee the quality of my premium stickers and stationary 100%. If you are unsatisfied upon receiving them, return your order in brand new condition for a full refund, no problem.
- At this time, I do not offer exchanges.
- If your sticker is damaged by water, sunlight, the dishwasher, or by the elements, simply take a picture and send it to me. I'll send you a digital gift card to buy a new one (no more than the price you paid, max $5).
- Warranty does not include normal sticker wear and tear (such as edge peeling from improper placement, placement on rounded surfaces, or placing the sticker somewhere that it is consistently grabbed/touched). These stickers are absolute premium quality, and they are still stickers. You take care of them, they'll take care of you.
- I created these product images in Photoshop. I did my best, but the sizes may not be exact compared to real life. Please look at the measurements before you buy.
- I like making new art for new stickers more than selling them, so I have an assistant that will do most of the work fulfilling these orders.
