Since Coors Field opened its doors in 1995 as the home of the Colorado Rockies, baseball fans of all ages have watched thousands of innings of the old ball game at a mile high. In that time, the LoDo neighborhood has thrived around it, endless sunsets have painted the sky, and a lot — we mean a lot — of beer has flowed. And that's just the beginning: An entertainment district and Rockies' Hall of Fame is now planned for the surrounding area.
But showing up to 20th and Blake Street on any given game day can be overwhelming. Where to park? What to eat? Where is the best place to sit? You wouldn't want to have a 1-2-3-strikes-you're-out situation with bad baseball experiences. So that's where we come in.
We have put together some of the key things to know about Coors Field, along with some fun facts you can impress your friends with. So, what are you waiting for? Let's throw out that first pitch.

Helton Burger: Located in the outfield at Section 153, this is a popular destination for specialty "craft" burgers.
Gluten friendly cart: Located at Section 142, menu items include hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, veggie quesadillas and two gluten-free beers from Golden's Holidaily Brewing Co., "Colorado's dedicated gluten-free brewery." The cart also has a G-F cider and a condiments cart that is just for that cart to avoid cross-contamination.
New food for the 2018 season includes Rocky Mountain Po'Boy, Mile High Mac and Cheese, and Rockies Fritters.
Fun Facts
If you look high into the nose-bleeds, you will see a row of purple seats. These upper-deck seats are exactly 5,280 feet above sea level.
An unidentified dinosaur rib bone was unearthed during the excavation of Coors Field. Because of that, the team welcomed a big purple dinosaur named Dinger as the team's mascot.
Coors Field features a humidor to keep the baseballs moist and avoid too many homers in the mile-high stadium. Before the humidor was installed in 2002, the 1999 season saw 303 homers.
Coors Field, while still a relatively new stadium, is the third-oldest ballpark in the National League.
Coors Field is the site of MLB's coldest game in 2013, with a first-pitch temperature of 23 degrees.
The bullpens sit next to section 105 and can be seen from the concourse. So pitching fans can grab some peanuts and watch the relievers and closers warm up if the in-field action starts to hit a lull.
Can't get enough Coors Field? Tours are available most days year-round.

When I married my husband Ed two years ago in Santorini, I wanted to savour every moment. Having been married previously, I was well aware how true it was that your wedding day flies by and time seems to speed up when you desperately want it to slow down so you can enjoy every second. As the wedding was in Santorini at the beginning of September, temperatures were high and we had to have a late afternoon ceremony. This meant that the day was already a lot shorter than it would have been had we got married in the UK. Looking back, I feel that we could have planned the day a little better to make the most of the time we did have, and I wanted to share 5 tips for destination wedding couples to make the most of your day.
Take Some Time for The Two of You
It is so important to ensure you both have a little time to step back and enjoy the day, away from everybody else. It can be easy to get swept up in the crowd but remember the reason for the celebration is you making a commitment to be together. You don't have to leave the party or shut yourselves away but just taking a few minutes together will be worth it.
Photos and Video Are So Important
I am a really strong advocate of making sure there are lots of photos taken on your big day. I also feel that video footage is priceless, as it shows you different aspects of the day that you may not have even witnessed at the time. I am absolutely gutted that we only have around twenty professional photos from our wedding ceremony, and none from the reception due to issues with our wedding coordinator. Although I love the photos we do have, and am hugely grateful to one of my best friends and bridesmaids for taking my camera and getting lots of candid shots from the reception, I would have really liked to have more photos of the day from an outsider's perspective, capturing those moments that can so easily be forgotten as time passes. The video from our wedding was also only of the ceremony, which means that a large section is already a little hazy. I would seriously recommend spending as much as you can afford to, to have photos and video of your day to look back on and share with children and relatives in years to come.
Do Something in the Day
If your wedding ceremony has to be fairly late in the day due to the weather, I would definitely suggest planning something for the daytime. We didn't start getting ready until around 2.30pm and, for a good couple of hours, I ended up on my own in my hotel room as I didn't want to go in the pool with everybody else. Although I did visit the hotel spa in the morning, I would plan something for the early afternoon as well if I could go back as I felt I wasted a section of the day just waiting around. Tradition pretty much went out of the window with our wedding so it would have been nice to do something with Ed before I had my hair and makeup done.
Plan the Wedding You Want
It is so important to plan your day the way you both want it to be, rather than trying to please anybody else. One of the bonuses of getting married abroad, for us anyway, was that it limited the amount of guests we had. This meant that we were able to focus our attention on having the wedding we wanted, without being held back by needing to cater for hundreds of people. We had the music we wanted during the ceremony, even though it was frowned upon by our wedding coordinator (seriously, the woman seemed to want to ruin our day from the word go) and we adapted the menu to suit our tastes. Don't feel pressured to do something you don't want to because it's 'traditional' or expected. Do what will make you both happy at the end of the day.
Make Plans for the Next Day
This is something we didn't really do and I wish we had. Although our guests were obviously out with us for the wedding, the day afterwards seemed to go by in a haze. I wanted to spend some time with just Ed, but also with guests and I really should have planned the day in advance to ensure this happened. In the end, I only got a brief walk alone with Ed before meeting my dad and his partner for lunch, and the afternoon was spent by the pool with the children and my mum. If you are worried that you won't get the chance to spend a lot of time with your guests on the wedding day itself, schedule something in for the following day (if your timetable allows it). It doesn't have to be a whole day affair, if you're worried about monopolising another day, but even having breakfast or lunch together would be a nice opportunity to reflect on the wedding and thank them for coming along.

This book provides guidance on how to design, perform and publish the clinical research needed to fill some of the voids in the scientific literature. Written by recognized experts, these articles originally appeared as "Clinical Research Focus" contributions to TRANSFUSION.
Sorry, this item can only be purchased by current members.
Would you like to...
In 2007, TRANSFUSION implemented a new section termed Clinical Research Focus. The section was intended to address the growing enthusiasm for evidence-based transfusion medicine studies and publications, which were hampered in the past by a lack of knowledge of the basic and applied principles that plagued some of the literature. The intent of this section was to invite short articles on a variety of topics and considerations that cover some of the tools in the clinical research methodology toolbox. The intent of this book is to pull these articles—along with several editorials on the subject—into a single publication that will serve as an educational tool and resource for trainees, clinical research investigators, and health-care professionals.
Topics include:

Short and medium – term actvities for local people to accept local culture 'the way it is, and the way it is not'.
All Swaraj tribes practice togetherness, oneness and community, internally and externally. All people, across the world, aspire to leave the natural environment better than they received it.
In our envisioned future…
All soil types already have their own, locally-derived, evolved, and handed-down 6 'D's. As we travel across the world, we see soil changes represented by changes in flora & fauna, and along with that people's 6 'D's change. People across various climate & soil-types have zero dependence for their sustenance on neighboring tribes and trade based on abundance.
Livelihoods have minimum 'degrees of separation' from nature, and local people have local livelihoods which are sustainable and transmitted through generations.

The 31" Da Monsta is a collaboration with master shaper Todd Proctor from Ventura and is a surfskate with the same look and feel of his popular 'Da Monsta' surfboard model. Describing Da Monsta as a surfboard you can skate on waves, the pairing with our surfing skateboard was just a perfect fit. It's further cross-pollinating performance between surf and skate, and gives riders a tuned pair of boards to do that on.

IRS announces 2018 family contribution changes for HSAs
Today, the IRS published Internal Revenue Bulletin (IRB) 2018-10 that contains Revenue Procedure (Rev. Proc.) 2018-19.
Effective for calendar year 2018, the family contribution limit for HSAs has been lowered to $6,850 from the previously set amount of $6,900. This change came as a result of the tax reform law (P.L. 115-97) that changed the annual inflation adjustment factor from the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to a new factor known as 'chained CPI'. This change was anticipated to slow the rate of changes in all programs under the tax code, including HSAs.

Hello Vanessa,
Just wanted to follow-up and let you know I did finally get down to the US and crossed through no problem. I did get flagged at customs (as I expected) but when I showed them package they read though and said everything was fine I could go though. They also indicated I shouldn't loose it as I'll most likely need it each time but that's no big deal.
Thank you very much for all you assistance with this it's a huge relief to know I can go through without issue now.

The Professional Troll
The summer I turned 25, I was featured in a Breitbart article co-written by the site's then-editor Milo Yiannopolous. The article itself was laughably bad journalism. I was not contacted for quotes, my college articles were taken out of context, and basic facts about me were wrong (which was not an isolated incident; The Daily Caller later called me "Monica Flores").
Yiannopolous, who left Breitbart on Tuesday after an interview of him defending pedophilia surfaced online, was once kindly described as a conservative provocateur by mainstream outlets like the Associated Press. He identifies as a "virtuous troll" who is doing "God's work," using the protection of free speech to condemn transgender identity as a "psychiatric disorder," declare his birthday World Patriarchy Day, author "Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy", create the Yiannopolous Privilege Grant, a scholarship to help white men gain "equal footing" with minorities, and to rally his army of followers to harass and humiliate countless people online.
Even now, months later, I find myself using qualifying statements like "not so bad" to minimize the experience because the worst has not yet happened to me. Less than a week after Yiannopolous wrote about my liberal biases, he led a Twitter harassment campaign against comedian Leslie Jones, inciting his followers to barrage her with racist, demeaning, and threatening tweets until Jones quit the platform, saying she was "in a personal hell." Yiannopolous' harassment of Jones got him banned on Twitter, but it also cemented his status with the alt-right movement, earned him speaking invitations at college campuses, and led to a reported $250,000 book deal (which was finally cancelled this week, not because 100+ authors had condemned Simon & Schuster for supporting Yiannopolous, not because of his racist, misogynistic, and xenophobic beliefs, but only after the video of him condoning pedophilia had surfaced).
In the aftermath of the article, before I set my Twitter to private, someone with an unknown account reached out to me, saying he wished to rape me. Everything before this had felt like an inconvenient distraction from my time and energy. But in that moment, I felt fear, then a hot flush of shame for letting a tweet scare me.
My employer told me the tweets weren't a credible threat, but I documented them anyway, putting that tweet along with all the article's comments that wished me harm, in a folder on my computer entitled EVIDENCE. I was told to remove my email address from my website and LinkedIn, and told to take any mention of clients I worked with off of my social accounts. 'A way to avoid stalkers or an abdication of my employer's responsibility to protect me?' I thought mutinously, as I nodded and did what I was told. I changed every password and added two-step authentication and security questions to my bank accounts, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Instagram and Tumblr. Friends and colleagues told me over and over that what happened wasn't my fault, but I still felt like these protections for my safety were punishing me for existing online. As a digital journalist who relies on these social networks for job prospects, making my accounts private hurts my career.
"Don't worry, we're keeping an eye on the deep web for any credible threats against you," I was told. Worried by the lack of structured advice I was receiving from employed security experts, I reached out to my friend Patrick Hogan who had lived through the worst. He gave me step-by-step advice.
Exhibit A.
Document everything. Screenshot tweets, archive e-mails, record phone calls. Anything you receive relating to this needs to become a permanent record. Be sure to note any relevant details like the time you received something or the incoming phone number for a call.
Any time you can report something, do it. I know this isn't always the most effective, but even if Twitter says no rules are being broken and won't do anything, that's ammunition for you.
Escalate this to your employer. I don't know the contracting situation over there, but you are being harassed because of your job. Your employer has both an interest and a responsibility.
If at any point you feel like your safety is threatened, go to the police. Even just getting it on the record that you filed a report can be helpful.
So I did that.
In "Why Women Aren't Welcome on the Internet," Amanda Hess writes what I consider the best and most comprehensive analysis of why the online abuse of women goes unchecked. In her story, Hess recounts how an anonymous user with the handle HeadlessFemalePig set up a Twitter account with the explicit purpose of threatening to rape her and cut off her head. HeadlessFemalePig said he had done 12 years for manslaughter and he knew Hess and him lived in the same state. He promised Hess he would find her, rape her and kill her. When she went to the police, authorities didn't know what Twitter was. For Hess, the threats she faced as a journalist who wrote about women were viscerally real, but authorities dismissed the internet as a "fantasyland" where threats weren't real.
In these cases, when the police declines to investigate the abuse, the burden is placed on the victim to determine what kind of threat is immediate and weigh what you can endure.
Hess' article was written three years ago, and the outlook for women facing abuse on the internet is still bleak. A 2016 Australian study found that 76% of women under 30 face online harassment, which includes "unwanted contact, trolling, and cyberbullying to sexual harassment and threats of rape and death." The researchers said that online abuse of women was at risk of becoming "an established norm in our digital society." There isn't enough research being done on online harassment against women, but in February, Amnesty International began soliciting stories of this nature.
When women face violent online threats, they are often told to ignore and endure the threats, lest you "feed the trolls." But, short of deleting your online presence or putting yourself on a social media lockdown, you cannot opt out from the abuse. When tech platforms ignore violent threats and police decline to file reports on them, the message to women rings loud and clear: you are on your own.
The Personal Toll
That same summer I turned 25, in the midst of my public reckoning, I also faced a private one. I broke up with a man after two months of casual dating, and more than five months later, he is still carrying a one-sided text conversation with me(himself). The texts vary in length, mostly coming after the lonely hour of midnight, but all of them have a possessive familiarity that makes me deeply uncomfortable. As Maureen O'Connor explains in "All My Exes Live in Texts," "exes can jump into your pants whenever they want by sending text messages that land in your pocket." I feel low-key dread whenever I see his name light up my phone. Immediately after I ended things, I let him air his grievances over the phone and in person, hoping it would give him closure. He has persisted. You're advised not to contact an ex after a breakup because each time the person doesn't respond, it will feel like the breakup all over again, a sage Redditor explained. This has not been a deterrent for a man willing to disregard all etiquette if it means he can pursue the fantasy of a relationship.
Exhibit B.
You wasted the last /
sorry for letting my emotions take over /
I miss you like hell /
fired two weeks ago /
at the end of the day we are POC. We need to stick together /
hi. /
Yes, I'm drunk on New Year's eve but /
I really wish /
like hell /
Hey. Can we please talk? /
Okay let's not then.
His last text was three weeks ago. At what point does an unwanted, repeated contact become stalking? It varies state to state. Colorado defines a stalker as someone who believes "the victim either returns these feelings of affection or will do so if the stalker is persistent enough." I'd have to prove that my stalker had "strong, unshakeable and irrational emotional feelings" for me. In Vermont, I need to prove "credible threat." New York penal law, which defines stalking as "the unwanted pursuit of another person," says at the very least for a misdemeanor charge, I need to prove: "would a reasonable person have been made fearful, based on history, context, etc.?"
I feel unsettled but not yet unsafe. Right now, I put him in between men who come on too strong and men I can legally call stalkers. Both put me on edge, but the latter is the eventuality I am preparing for. I don't think he's sent me his last text. I read Christine Stulik's account of receiving a harassing email by her stalker every single day, sometimes multiple times a day. After Stulik took an acting class with her stalker, he began to send her banal and flirtatious emails. When she turned him down, he persisted. It was when he showed up to where she worked that Stulik finally took action and sought a temporary restraining order. Like all men who disregard boundaries, he treated her No as Try Harder. In one of his emails to her, he said that he would make her the star of his new play if she dropped the charges. When police finally confronted Stulik's stalker more than a year after his harassment first started, his reasoning was, "She just never told me 'No.'"
Exhibit C.
Hearing this made my blood boil. Of course I never explicitly said "No" to him: I never said anything to him. I didn't reply to a single email, even when I wanted to write down every obscenity I was screaming into the computer screen. I wanted to reply with hurtful, debasing language that made him feel as small as his words made me feel. I wanted to write intelligent, biting attacks that made him realize the futility and stupidity of his endeavor. I wanted to confront him to his face as he sulked around the lobby of my work. I wanted to tell him STOP and NO and FUCK OFF—but I couldn't allow myself to. Because he had the power, and I couldn't give him any more of it. In fact, the advice I was given by the domestic violence liaison during one of my many visits to the courthouse was to not reply to anything, because any sign from me would only give him reason to continue contact. He was not to be encouraged.
When you lack structured protections from the state and from online platforms, you must make do with your own. Hess lugs around a physical copy of her expired protection order against her harasser each time she travels to do business in his state. When the order expired, he reached out to her, through comments on her articles, emails and occasional tweets—"a little reminder," Hess writes, "that his 'game' is back on." In what is easily the most chilling account on stalking I've read, Helen DeWitt describes how a stalker's "game" became her worst-case scenario. After DeWitt's stalker was released five months early into the same town where DeWitt lives, she sleeps with a baseball bat. Her stalker had gotten a plea bargain because DeWitt, who had documented every unwanted interaction, had failed to convince as a damsel in distress in her deposition. The prosecutor said DeWitt's deposition showed an "absence of fear." Her stalker had broken into her home with a gun.
Here's what I tell people I don't know when they ask what happened to me this summer: I am very lucky. Just fine. Could've been worse. No worries. (Would a prosecutor say I'm showing an "absence of fear"?)
I am just one more woman on the internet who has to make contingency plans. I think twice before giving men I meet on the internet my number or my address. Even now, I sometimes wonder if I am blowing this whole thing out of proportion, if his texts were benign, if his tweets were just trolling. But I trust my instincts, and with my EVIDENCE laid bare, I feel exposed. 'Prepare yourself,' the part of me that doesn't have to maintain public pretense urges me. At least one of the unwanted men I have encountered online knows where I live.
When I walk home alone at night, I look behind me and I carry mace.

In a post published on blogging platform Medium, chair of Alphabet (formerly Google), Eric Schmidt, wrote that the company's most political branch Google Ideas had been expanded and rebranded.
Google Ideas expands to become Jigsaw (@JigsawTeam): https://t.co/DJVKwk84lJ @jaredcohen to serve as its President— Eric Schmidt (@ericschmidt) February 17, 2016
Jigsaw's mission, Schmidt explained, is "to use technology to tackle the toughest geopolitical challenges, from countering violent extremism to thwarting online censorship to mitigating the threats associated with digital attacks."
Cohen, a former State Department employee, has in the past been accused of engaging in "regime change" activities. His contacts with Egyptian opposition figures during the 2011 anti-Mubarak uprising, and his frequent travels to the Middle East have raised doubts on whether he was still acting at the behest of the White House.
Google Ideas itself was involved in ventures that went well beyond the purview of a simple tech company, tackling head-on international crisis like drug smuggling or terrorism with ad-hoc initiatives.
Jigsaw promises to scale it up to an even more activist approach, creating and disseminating technological tools to counter any sort of global problem.
Google's "regime change" dept 'Ideas' is now 'Jigsaw' (better known as the hitech serial killer in Saw). Background: https://t.co/ZUfh7WDAT5— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) February 17, 2016
Grant Blank, a fellow at Oxford Internet Institute, told Sputnik that Jigsaw can be interpreted as one of Alphabet's legendary "moonshots" (ambitious, borderline-whacky ventures such as self-driving cars or "google glasses.")
"I would see this in the context of the company's famous long-term projects, but much more in a political vein rather than dealing with technology only," he said.
"It is still not clear what Jigsaw can actually do here, though. They talked about 'geopolitical challenges' but seems like they don't know what they are really going to focus on… It seems that they want to solve international challenges, always with a tech slant. But how are you going to solve Middle East crises with technology?"
Blank added that, while Alphabet is undeniably "a political actor," he does not think Jigsaw will take an excessively encroaching stance, or do the bidding of the US government.
"I would be surprised if there were a direct intervention in the political system of another country," Blank told Sputnik.
"[Alphabet] is very much conscious of its reliance on cross-nationality."
Besides signaling an expansion of Google Ideas capabilities, Blank said, Jigsaw is also part of a thorough rebranding the whole company has been undergoing since its Google-to-Alphabet name change in October 2015.
"The company wants to move away from the idea it's just a search engine. Alphabet wants to be able to do lots of other things, and Jigsaw will be related to some kind of ideal like that," Blank told Sputnik.

Resolve just to be the best you can be in 2015
A NEW year. How wonderful. For many people, after the trials and ick of 2014, this is a new leaf they've been eagerly waiting to turn for quite some time.
I know myself, I was asking if it was New Year's Eve yet way back in August. Such was the level of sick and tiredness at what had turned out to be a particularly challenging calendar.
But now, more than at any other time, we look to the future. We recalibrate. We reboot. We resolve and we review.
All with the aim of being a better version of ourselves; all with a view to achieving greater happiness.
Resolutions though are the stuff of disappointment. Quit sugar/carbs/alcohol/ cigarettes. Lose weight. Gain more money. Break bad habits. Build new success.
It's as material as it is immaterial and as self-serving as it is self-deprecating.
So this time around, what about this: What if we resolved nothing more than to be the best version of ourselves that we could be?
What if that meant being kind? Being good? Building on our tolerances and tearing down those walls galvanised by our prejudices and our abilities to hate and judge?
What if we chose to amend and adjust our entire life order, rather than just tinkering around with the stuff at the perimeter.
Go forth and lose weight, quit smoking and start exercising. Good luck. But don't forget, especially right now, that in a world where not a lot is making sense and we are inundated by messages of hurt and hate and threats of terror, that there is a massive difference you can make in your own small way.
Resolve to care. Resolve to be more tolerant, less judgmental and more open minded. Resolve not to subscribe to the petty nonsense around misguided prejudice. Don't hate.
How can it be so difficult for some to just live and let live? It's surprisingly easy to let that hate and anger go. And the emotional capacity you get back, the room to see life in its incredible glory, is well worth the exercise.

Beiimaan Love
Cast: Sunny Leone, Rajniesh Duggal
Director: Rajeev Chaudhari
Smoking kills, so do tight close-ups.
Just when you're adjusting in your seat after the anti-smoking advertisement, you catch Sunny Leone looking directly into your face. She breaks into a dance without a warning. Her tight close-ups are all over the screen as if the director saying, "I know why you're here."
Sunaina (Sunny Leone) is a treacherous businesswoman who has worked her way up. Her competitor Raj Malhotra (Rajniesh Duggal) has lost another contract to her shrewd strategies. They have a history that's as obvious as the expressions of singers dancing with Sunny Leone in a song. Just replace them in the same template and you have got a new number.
Beiimaan Love is utterly stupid, and involves absolutely no filmmaking. It's made to provide some voyeuristic pleasure, but fails to do even that.
Beiimaan Love could easily have been called 'Bematlab Thakaan': I am exhausted, for no reason other than that I chose to get back to a Sunny Leone film in the hope that she will reveal something other than sculpted body parts which move and stop, move and stop.
Both Ek Paheli Leela and One Night Stand, where Sunny had large speaking parts, were meant to showcase her acting talents. Both failed. Beiimaan Love is not even respectable B grade. It is as C grade as it can get.
Just how much can you stare at high heels and women in neon bikinis ? There has to be a limit.
Beiimaan Love is a master-class in anger management. You sit through it and the world will be at your feet.
I thought Great Grand Masti was the worst film this year. What a great competition it has in Beiimaan Love ! Absolute zero.

Today I am featuring some sugar cookies I recently made. It's not all about cake all the time, I'm no one trick pony you see;) I was going for a wintery white on white and I do so love snowmen. The main guys were polar bears, but I didn't get great pics of them, sad face. Well, it was 5:30 in the morning after all and I was a tad bleary eyed. Regardless, enjoy=)
This was another fun themed cake. It was for prince and princess party. I was given a basic idea of what was wanted for the cake and then I was allowed to do as I pleased, which I thoroughly enjoy. It was for a two year old so, I wanted to go with bright fun colours and cartoony characters. I really love how the little knight turned out. So brave=)
I love it when friends get married. It's such a lovely thing. And I'm a total opportunist swooping in with offers of cake;) I feel sometimes people don't value the wedding cake as highly as they used to, which is a shame. Well, maybe not valuing fruitcake based wedding cakes from the days of yore is understandable, but a beautiful centerpiece of the reception made with delicious flavours that you then get to serve to your guests is a wonderful thing. This cake was inspired by the invitation that my friends made for their wedding. Wish I had a picture of that now, the whole thing would make more sense. Anywho, I matched the colours of the invitation and the little paper flowers that were on it. Enjoy=)

You recently released a torrent of all your EPs and you're releasing your album independently. Why is it important to you to have control over the way your work is received?
I don't have that control and I don't want it—I feel like that's too much power. I need to make what I like, and people will interpret it the way they want to receive it. I can't expect people to like what I do (even though they should 'cause I think my shit's tight) but everyone will have their own opinions and catch on at a different time—someone might not get it until my second or third album.
I feel like, if you have expectations and they don't get met, then you get let down and you get disappointed. I'm tired of feeling like that; I've been feeling like that for a long time, so I've just learned to not have any expectations and just let things be. If I get to say, "I released my debut album on my own label," I've already won. And the fact that what I'm releasing is a story and a message and it's real and it's truth. It's honest music and there's not enough of that. So it's win-win.

China 3 December 2003 CIETAC Arbitration proceeding (False hair case) [translation available]
[Cite as: http://cisgw3.law.pace.edu/cases/031203c1.html]
CASE HISTORY: Unavailable
SELLER'S COUNTRY: People's Republic of China (claimant)
BUYER'S COUNTRY: United States (respondent)
GOODS INVOLVED: False hair
PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA: China International Economic & Trade Arbitration
Commission (CIETAC) (now South China Branch) 3 December 2003 (False hair case)
Case law on UNCITRAL texts [A/CN.9/SER.C/ABSTRACTS/114],
CLOUT abstract no. 1121
Reproduced with permission of UNCITRAL
A Chinese seller and a United States buyer signed a contract for the sale of wigs. The buyer had not made the payment as agreed a long time after the goods had been delivered to it. The seller initiated arbitration proceedings in accordance with the arbitration agreement in the contract, and asked the Arbitration Tribunal to order the buyer to pay the sum for the goods, the penalty for breaching the contract and the arbitration fees.
Since the places of business of the parties were in States Parties to CISG, the Tribunal ruled under article 1(1)(a) CISG that the case should be governed by the Convention and that those matters for which the Convention did not provide would be governed by Chinese law following the principle of the closest connection.
Regarding the issue of the validity of the contract, the Tribunal held that, under article 4(a) CISG, the Convention did not cover such an issue. The Tribunal found that the contract was valid according to the contract law of the People's Republic of China, and was legally binding for both parties.
Regarding the disputed issue of the contract price, the Tribunal held that, under article 54 of the Convention, the buyer did not have due reasons to refuse to pay the sum for the goods. This was a breach of contract for which the buyer should bear responsibility. As the buyer did not provide any evidence of the contrary, the Tribunal upheld the request of the seller. As to the seller's claim that the buyer should pay a penalty for breach of contract, the Tribunal supported that demand as well, since it was based on the contract and was in line with legally binding provisions, moreover, the buyer had not disputed it.Go to Case Table of Contents

False hair case (3 December 2003)
Translation [*] by Meihua Xu [**]
Translation edited by Zheng Xi [***]
The China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission Shenzhen Sub-Commission (hereafter, the "Shenzhen Commission") accepted the case on 23 June 2003 (Case number: SHEN G2003063) according to:
|The arbitration clause in Sales Contract No. ZT01092704 (hereafter, the "Contract") signed
by Claimant [Seller], China __ Company, and Respondent [Buyer], America __ Company;
|The written arbitration application submitted by [Seller].
The Arbitration Rules of China's International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission [hereafter, the Arbitration Rules], which took effect on 1 October 2000, apply to this case.
On 30 June 2003, by express mail, the Secretariat of the Shenzhen Commission sent the arbitration notice, the [Seller]'s arbitration application and the attachment, the Arbitration Rules, and the arbitrators' list to the [Buyer]'s address provided by the [Seller] in its arbitration application. According to Article 13 of the Arbitration Rules, the arbitration process started on the aforesaid date.
The [Seller] asked the Chairman of the Arbitration Commission to appoint an arbitrator and the Chairman of the Arbitration Commission appointed Ms. Zeng as the [Seller]'s arbitrator; the [Buyer] failed to appoint or ask the Chairman of the Arbitration Commission to appoint an arbitrator within the stipulated time, so the Chairman of the Arbitration Commission appointed Mr. Chen as the [Buyer]'s arbitrator; the Chairman of the Arbitration Commission also appointed Mr. Huang as the Presiding Arbitrator, because the two parties failed to jointly appoint or ask the Chairman of the Arbitration Commission to appoint the Presiding Arbitrator within the stipulated time. On 6 August 2003, the aforesaid three arbitrators formed the Arbitration Tribunal to hear this case.
The Arbitration Tribunal held a court session in Shenzheng at 9 a.m. on 26 September 2003. The representative of the [Seller] attended the court session. The [Buyer] was absent without giving any explanation for its absence. Article 42(2) of the Arbitration Rules stipulates that:
"If one of the parties fails to attend the court session, the Arbitration Tribunal may process or make decision on the case by default."
According to this provision, at the court session, the Arbitration Tribunal processed this case by default. After the court session, as directed by the Arbitration Tribunal, the Secretariat of the Shenzhen Commission sent to the [Buyer] the statement of court session in order to give the [Buyer] an opportunity to respond.
The Arbitration Tribunal and the Secretariat of the Shenzhen Commission did not receive any response or written opinion from the [Buyer] within the stipulated time, and the [Buyer] did not raise any objection to the proceeding.
The entire legal documents and notices related to this case were sent to the parties by the Secretariat of the Shenzhen Commission in accordance with the Arbitration Rules.
This case was concluded. Based on the facts ascertained, the relevant law, and the stipulations in the Contract, the Arbitration Tribunal handed down this award.
The following are the facts, the Tribunal's opinion and award.
On 27 September 2001, the [Buyer] and the [Seller] signed a Contract with the following terms:
|Goods: 19,450 sets of false hair;
|Price: The total price is US $136,040.00 FOB China;
|Shipping: The goods shall be shipped by the end of October 2001; the departure port is
Qingdao, China, and the destination port is New York, U.S.;
|Payment: D/A 90 days; the [Buyer] shall make payment within the stipulated time; otherwise,
for breach of the contract, the [Buyer] shall pay to the [Seller] a fee of 5/10,000 of the total
|Arbitration: Any dispute arising from the performance of the Contract or in connection with the Contract shall be settled by friendly negotiation. If the negotiation fails, the dispute shall be submitted to the Shenzhen Commission for arbitration.
[Seller]'s position
The [Seller] alleges that on 27 September 2001, the [Buyer] and the [Seller] signed the Contract for the sale of false hair with the payment term of D/A 90 days. The [Buyer] should have made payment on 4 February 2002. The [Buyer] sent a fax on 12 August 2002, promising to make payment by installments, but it failed to make any payment. According to the Contract, the [Buyer] should pay a contract breach fee, and any dispute arising from this case may be submitted to the Shenzhen Commission for arbitration. The [Seller] asks the Arbitration Tribunal to rule that:
To support its arbitration claims, the [Seller] submitted the Contract, the corresponding faxes between China __ Bank and Liberty Bank of New York, the customs application, invoices, and the B/L as evidence.
The [Buyer] did not submit any defense material in response to [Seller]'s arbitration claims, statement, and evidence.
(1) Applicable law
This case involves a dispute arising from an international sales contract. The [Seller]'s place of business is in China, and the [Buyer]'s place of business is in the United States. Both countries are Contracting States of the CISG. Article 1 of the CISG states,
"(1) This Convention applies to contracts of sales of goods between parties whose places of business are in different States: (a) when the States are Contracting States; or (b) when the rules of private international law lead to the application of the law of a Contracting State."
The Arbitration Tribunal therefore holds that the CISG applies to this case.. Because the [Seller]'s place of business, the place of loading, and the place of arbitration are all in China, pursuant to the proximate connection principle set forth in international private law, Chinese law shall be applied when there is no stipulation in the CISG.
(2) The validity of the Contract
Article 4 of the CISG states,
"This Convention governs only the formation of the contract of sale and the rights and obligations of the seller and the buyer arising from such a contract. In particular, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Convention, it is not concerned with: (a) the validity of the contract or of any of its provisions or of any usage; ..."
According to the aforesaid stipulation, the Arbitration Tribunal holds that the CISG does not govern the validity of the contract. Therefore, the validity of the Contract in this case shall be determined by Chinese law.
Article 9 of the Contract Law of the People's Republic of China (hereafter, "Contract Law of the PRC") stipulates that:
"In entering into a contract, the parties shall have the appropriate capacities for civil rights and civil acts. A party may appoint an agent to enter into a contract on its behalf under the law."
Article 32 of the Contract Law of the PRC stipulates that:
"Where the parties enter into a contract by a memorandum of contract, the contract is formed when it is signed or sealed by the parties."
And Article 44 of the same law states that:
"A lawfully formed contract becomes effective upon its formation."
The Contract in this case was signed by the [Buyer] and the [Seller], and which reflects the true minds of the two parties. Both parties have the capacities of civil rights and civil acts, and there is no fact in this case that satisfies the requirement for a contract to be invalid as stipulated in Article 52 of the Contract Law of the PRC. Therefore, the Arbitration Tribunal holds that the Contract in this case was legally formed and effective, and is binding on the parties.
(3) The arbitration claims for payment in arrears and contract breach fee
1. Payment in arrears
After the conclusion of the Contract, the [Seller] provided 19,250 sets of false hair with the total value of US $134,620.00. This is evidenced by the export goods customs application form of China Customs with a seal of Qingdao Customs, China, an invoice, and a B/L issued by Chengyi Shipping (China) Company.
On 22 November 2001, Liberty Bank of New York replied to China Merchant Bank, stating that the documents for a total of US $134,620.00 of goods had been received by the [Buyer] with the payment deadline of 4 February 2002. This fact indicates that the [Seller] performed its obligations to deliver the goods and to provide the documents.
The [Seller] alleges that the [Buyer] failed to make payment in accordance with the Contract. The [Buyer] neither made any defense on whether it has made the entire or part of the payment, nor provided any evidence showing that it made the entire or part of the payment. Thus, the Arbitration Tribunal holds that the [Seller]'s allegation that the [Buyer] failed to pay for the price of US $134,620.00 for the goods is supported.
Article 54 of the CISG stipulates that the [Buyer] shall make payment and take delivery of the goods as required by the contract and the Convention. Based on the facts ascertained by the Arbitration Tribunal, the [Buyer] delayed in making payment and refused to pay without proper reasons. This constitutes a contract breach, and the [Buyer] shall bear the liability accordingly. Thus, the Arbitration Tribunal supports the [Seller]'s claim for the contract price, i.e., US $134,620.00.
2. Contract breach fee
Article 4 of the Contract states that:
"As to payment by D/P, the [Buyer] shall make payment within the stipulated time; otherwise, for breach of the contract, the [Buyer] shall pay to the [Seller] a fee of 5/10,000 of the contract price/day."
The [Buyer] failed to make payment. Therefore, it should pay the contract breach fee. On 22 November 2001, Liberty Bank of New York replied to China Merchant Bank, stating that the documents for the total of US $134,620.00 of goods had been received by the [Buyer] with a payment deadline of 4 February 2002. The [Seller] alleges that the contract breach fee should be calculated from the day on which the [Buyer] should have made payment, i.e., 5 February 2001, i.e., 200 days, and the amount is US $13,462. There is a contractual basis for the [Seller] to request the [Buyer] to pay the contract breach fee of 5/10,000 of the contract price per day, and this stipulation does not violate any law or regulations. Moreover, the [Buyer] raised no objection. Therefore, this claim of the [Seller] shall be sustained.
Based on the above analysis, the Arbitration Tribunal sustains the [Seller]'s claim for the contract breach fee of US $13,462 [US $134,620.00 × 0.0005 × 200 days = US $13,462].
(3) Arbitration fee
Considering that all of the [Seller]'s arbitration claims are sustained and the [Buyer]'s breach caused this arbitration, the Arbitration Tribunal holds that the entire arbitration fee, i.e., renminbi [RMB] 50,653, shall be borne by the [Buyer].
The Arbitration Tribunal rules that:
(1) [Buyer] shall pay the price in arrears of US $134,620.00 and the contract breach fee of US $13,462 within 30 days of this award;
(2) [Buyer] shall bear the entire arbitration fee.
This is the final award.

JAMESTOWN, Virginia, Mar. 23 /Christian Newswire/ -- Organizers of the Jamestown Quadricentennial -- an alternative celebration to the official Jamestown 2007 events -- have announced that they will be erecting the only major monument to be dedicated this year to the memory of the 1607 Jamestown Settlement. Paid for by the $1 donations of children across America, the Jamestown Children's Memorial is being carved by the same company that built the well-known Alabama Ten Commandments Monument. The memorial will be dedicated in June as part of the groups' week-long festivities to be held in Virginia's Historic Triangle."The raising of rocks of remembrance to the glory of God has been a defining aspect of past Jamestown centennials," noted Doug Phillips, founder of Vision Forum Ministries and organizer of the Jamestown Quadricentennial. "This year, those involved with the official commemoration have chosen not to erect a significant marker to Jamestown's legacy, even as they have banned the word 'celebration' from their event. We believe we have much to celebrate, and we are honored by the $1 donations that the grateful children of America have given to fill this void and support the Jamestown Children's Memorial."The Jamestown Children's Memorial will be a four-sided-monument featuring the Fifth Commandment, words of Christian exhortation from the visionaries behind Jamestown, and a list of providential accomplishments through the history of the settlement. The top will be crowned with a sculpting of Holy Scripture opened to Psalm 78 -- the text which admonishes fathers to teach the providences of God so that their children might have hope."The Jamestown Children's Memorial follows in the tradition of the great 103-foot-tall Jamestown Tercentenary Monument erected by the United States in 1907 and the Memorial Cross placed in the Jamestown Festival Park in 1957," noted Phillips. "Each gives glory to God, even as they remind future generations of the sacrifice our forefathers gave to pass onto us the freedoms we enjoy today."Embedded within the Jamestown Children's Memorial will be a time capsule containing letters from today's children to the children of the twenty-first century. Plans will be left for the capsule to be opened and the letters read in the year 2107 -- at Jamestown's 500-year anniversary."One hundred years from now, America will celebrate its five hundredth birthday," Phillips observed. "It is our prayer that, on that great anniversary, the children of the twenty-second century will be inspired and encouraged to learn that a remnant of children from this generation came forward to honor their forefathers on the occasion of America's four hundredth birthday celebration."
To interview Doug Phillips regarding his vision for the Jamestown Children's Memorial and the Jamestown Quadricentennial, contact Wesley Strackbein by e-mail at email@example.com or by phone at (210) 340-5250, ext. 222.

Dieting is Your Enemy — Nutrition is Your Friend.
In our home, Diet is a four-letter word! No one should ever go on a diet. All this means is that temporarily you're going to restrict your calories, and probably spend the allotted time eating foods you don't really care for, or more likely, depriving yourself of foods you enjoy. Either way, when the diet is over, i.e., you've lost the scale weight you sought (see http://lifefitnessbydane.com/2014/01/07/the-science-of-the-scale), you will resume for your former way of eating and probably gain the weight back, often gaining even more. Hence my perspective that dieting is your enemy.
Now then, if you view your daily intake of food as your nutrition then you are automatically set up to look at food as a daily requirement, and one that if handled with a few key ideals, will keep your organs and body composition at healthy levels, and allow you to enjoy all the joy cuisine can offer. In other words: Nutrition is your friend!
Whether you're an "eat everything carnivore", vegetarian, pescatarian, vegan, or "fish&fowl follower" (my term since I eat no beef, pork or lamb), you can eat clean (little to no preservatives or processed foods) and healthy quite easily and cost-effectively if you plan well, and embrace your nutrition (not begrudge it).
Here's a few simple steps that you can follow:
1. Pick one day a week where you grocery shop. Pre-plan your meals and create a specific shopping list. There are web sites and pinterest pins galore to help you figure out quick, easy, affordable meals.
2. Pick one day a week (I suggest Sunday) to do food prep. Get out the crock-pot and make a meal that will last a few days. Make breakfast egg-white burritos, and then freeze several of them for defrosting and eating on the go. Get the kids involved in planning and preparing lunches – pre-bag veggies and fruits, etc. Fill grab 'n go ziplock bags or tupperware with healthy snacks for the entire family, then keep them in the pantry or fridge.
3. Make sure you always have a few key staples on hand: eggs, black beans, garbanzo beans and/or lentils (canned or dried that can be easily reconstituted in a crock pot), quinoa, fat-free low-sodium chicken and/or veggie stock, extra virgin olive oil, all natural peanut or almond butter, apples, cucumbers, carrots, celery, and/or sweet potatoes/yams, almonds, dates, and dried oats. I can make an awesome breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack with any/all of these ingredients in about 20 minutes time – with practice so can you.
4. Keep your meals simple, lean proteins and veggies. If you need to increase substance to a meal add quinoa or brown rice.
5. Be consistent – eat small meals 5-6 times a day, always. Your body will thank you and the results will give you more motivation. I had a client who followed my meal plan for about 10 days before we were able to begin his workouts. Just eating differently caused him to lose 16 pounds!
6. Never refer to having a cheating when eating. Cheating implies you're doing something wrong. Choose 1-2 days a week where you enjoy an indulgent sweet treat or alcohol or cheese & crackers – whatever is your go-to or comfort craving. Deprivation is the quickest way to over-indulgence!
7. Last but not least, remember moderation is key. Don't over do any food or beverage whether healthy or not. I had a client who actually ate so many carrots and took carotene supplements that his hands turned orange. Imaging what his liver was doing. Likewise, watch the documentary Super Size Me if you want to see what too much fast food and soda does to your inside.
Hopefully this will help you gain a new perspective on how, what and when you eat. Enjoy food, don't abuse it, and don't see it as something to be manipulated.

About Canon lbp 3050
The cover of the canon 3050 driver has a removable underside, which uncovers a lit up strip for filtering transparencies. There's a straightforwardness and film holder in there which you can lay on the flatbed to help with these high determination filters. This is something the canon lbp 3050 doesn't have, however the greatest output determination is the same on both machines.
Fundamental controls make utilization of Canon's creative Easy-Scroll haggle comparative, circular show of symbols shows up on the LCD. The silver-hued, right-hand board on the front of the driver 3050 pivots open to uncover twin memory card spaces, for all the normal sorts, however the PictBridge attachment is beneath the entryway and you don't have to open the board to utilize it.
The front yield plate is slick, as sheets nourishing from the download driver canon 3050 don't project much from the front. Be that as it may, it additionally implies 15 x 10cm photographs are somewhat more clumsy to recover and sit ponderously on one of the raised runners intended to keep A4 sheets all together. Likewise ungainly is the space to take the CD and DVD bearer for direct plate printing. This is so somewhere inside the all-dark inside of the canon 3050 driver win7 32bit, making it difficult to find the bearer in its guide openings.
Group is sufficiently straightforward to quote print speeds for ordinary print and also draft mode. Despite the driver canon 3050 64bit fact that its figures of 15ppm for dark print and 9.9ppm for shading are as yet hopeful, they're not as abnormal as some of its rivals', as we figured out how to print our five-page content archive in 33 seconds and the driver canon 3050 win 7 64bit shading content and design in 1 minute 19 seconds. These circumstances give genuine velocities of 9.1ppm and 3.4ppm, individually.
There's a duplexer incorporated with this machine and like the one in its less expensive kin, it's inconceivably moderate. Our 20-side content report took 9 minutes 57 seconds to finish and it would be substantially faster to print the canon 3050 driver win7 64bit initial 10 sides, turn the pages over by hand and after that print the second ones. The primary deferral is an eight second hold up between finishing the principal side and beginning the second.
The print component in the driver may in canon 3050 can deliver a one picolitre ink drop, the littlest size of any buyer canon lbp 3050 driver. This ought to empower an abnormal state of detail in photographic prints and on inspecting our examples we saw extremely smooth degrees of shading and an abnormal state of detail, both in lit and shadowed zones of shots. Print on polished paper gave a consistently brilliant complete, as well, dissimilar to some ink-fly yield, where a great deal of dependence is put on the white of the 3050 paper and can give a matte complete to light shades.
Content print is spotless and thick and even little characters are very much framed. Business representation are reasonable, however zones of strong shading fill are not as smooth as we anticipated. A shading photocopy demonstrated some helping of tints, however as a rule proliferation was well better than expected.
In this way, the additional £85 you pay for the PIXMA MP970 over the win7 32bit presents to you a better least drop estimate, an inherent straightforwardness scanner, a greater LCD screen, six-shading print and system availability. The machine is at the highest point of download driver canon lbp 3050 range and has the best spec and the best print nature of pretty much any across the board driver canon 3050 win xp available. On the off chance that you disregard its miserable duplex print speed, it's an astounding bit of printing, checking and duplicating innovation.
In our tests, the additional shading extent was most discernible in blue skies, which had somewhat more profundity to them, and skin tones were stunningly rich. This is to the detriment of marginally higher running expenses, with the expansion of the two additional cartridges in any case, since you're utilizing less of the standard cyan and red inks, the distinction isn't excessively discernible. The MP970 additionally demonstrated marginally slower than a few adversaries for photograph printing at the same time, all things considered, it's still incredibly fast.
The MP970 is extremely costly to purchase for an lbp 3050 and its additional shading space is just marginally recognizable in many prints. This makes it just truly justified regardless of the cash on the off chance that you require the scanner and other direct print offices.

Wines & Vines Packaging Conference This Week
Full day of seminars and trade show focused on wine packaging, design and marketing
Napa, Calif.—This Thursday, Aug. 9, Wines & Vines is hosting its fifth annual packaging conference at the Lincoln Theatre in Yountville, Calif. The full-day event will include panel discussions, trade show and industry networking all surrounding the theme of wine packaging, design and brand marketing.
The conference will kick-off with a keynote speech by iconic winemaker and original Rhone Ranger, Randall Grahm of Bonny Doon Vineyards. Grahm is known for an envelope-pushing creative and even comedic approach to wine marketing, including brand names and packaging. He uses puns, in-jokes, literary references, foreign phrases and internationally known artists to name and promote his wines.
In his talk entitled, "Give This Person a Cigare: The Doon & Dirty of Wine Packaging," Grahm promises to share Bonny Doon's successes and missteps in packaging, as well as insights he's learned from mentor, artist Chuck House.
Other sessions of the conference include:
• A panel session on how winemakers and winery owners can navigate consolidation in the supply chain. Moderated by packaging and design consultant Lisa Ehrlich, the panel includes glass manufacturer executive Rich Bouwer, Pedro Fernandes, general manager of Amorim Cork America, and G3 director of label operations, production and planning Mark Peters, will discuss what to do if your favorite vendors are bought or merge with other companies.
• The beverage alcohol experts from Nielsen return for what has typically been one of the most informative and popular sessions for the conference. This year Jessica Gaedeke, vice president of the company's innovation practice, and Brad Mayer, senior vice president of marketing for Precept Wine, will discuss market research data on the types of packaging that sell wine.
• Wine on tap and in kegs has caught on with consumers, and the founder of Free Flow Wines Jordan Kivelstadt will discuss trends in alternative packaging with winemakers Alison Crowe, Nicholas Quillé and Rob McDonald. The panel session will not only cover the continuing sales growth of wine on tap and in cans but how winemakers can maintain consistent quality when packaging wine in these formats.
The full day conference concludes with a ceremony to announce and honor the winners of this year's Wines & Vines Packaging Design Awards. Winners will be announced in the categories of best classic format, bust luxury design, best alternative format, best series, best redesign and best in show winner. The top 50 entries from the contest will also be on site at the conference so attendees can review them as well as vote for the "people's choice" winner that will be announced that day.

Environmental and Health Education as the Focus of International Educational Sciences: August 19th - 21st, 2018 in Kiel
Interim conference of ESERA Special Interest Group 4
'Science | Environment | Health' - Maritim Hotel in Kiel, August 19th - 21st, 2018
School garden, healthy nutrition, biomedicine or antimicrobial resistance: These are some of the topics that will be the focus of international educational researchers coming to Kiel over the next few days. From August 19th – 21st, 2018, the IPN will host the interim conference of the ESERA Special Interest Group 4 'Science | Environment | Health'. The conference will take place in the Maritim Hotel.
So-called special interest groups on various research topics have been formed within the European Science Education Research Association, ESERA for short. The Special Interest Group 4 | Science | Environment | Health' is still relatively young.
The IPN-organized working meeting of the group is only the second, after a very successful start in Weggis, Switzerland, in 2016, organized by one of the two speakers of the group, Prof. Dr. Albert Zeyer, who teaches as a professor of medicine at the University of Applied Sciences in Bern.
The three days in Kiel will focus on environmental and health education in an international context. The speakers come from Germany, Great Britain, Israel, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Turkey and the United States of America. Among them the co-speaker of SIG, Dr. Alla Keselman, who will travel from the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, Maryland to Kiel for the meeting.
Organizer Prof. Dr. Kerstin Kremer (IPN) is pleased that so many proven experts are finding their way to Kiel: "The conference program is varied and promises an up-to-date overview of relevant issues in education for sustainable development and health education. A special concern of the group is to make it clear that scientific knowledge is essential as a basis for understanding this important educational task. This awareness has gone missing in some conceptions. The SIG wants to explore the importance and the interfaces of scientific knowledge for action and awareness in the field of health and sustainability, hence the three-part title 'Science | Environment | Health'.
ESERA is the most important scientific association in the field of scientific didactic research in Europe. It promotes cooperation in science education research between European countries.
Journalists are cordially invited to participate in the conference.

However far too many drawn matches have hamstrung Bosch so far this year and they needed a dominant performance against a quality team to reinforce their claim as a top team.
Facing SACS, who have led the First XI Rankings from the start of the season, was the perfect setting for a Rondebosch razing that left SACS in tatters at the end of spinners master class by Guy Sheena and Jordan Collier.
However SACS would have fancied their chances going into this match, competed well in the early exchanges and their bowlers never allowed any of the Bosch batters to totally dominate them, with Quin van Oordt top scoring with 40 runs. There were some useful contributions by Lehan Botha (31) and Gabriel Gad (30) but a total of 222 runs was well within the grasp of the SACS batters who had yet to lose a game and they had the added advantage of the young opener Daniel Smith in their line-up who had been scoring heavily this season.
The SACS openers started confidently enough seeing off the Rondebosch pacemen with little difficulty but then seemed to get bogged down as they inched along towards the target. The growing pressure was ratcheted up by some very aggressive field placing with fielders dotted all around the the batters. Eventually the dam wall broke with the right arm off break of Guy Sheena who caught and bowled Daniel Smith and in so doing exposed a batting line up who had little answers for the questions the spinners were about to ask.
Joined by his spinning partner Jordan Collier, the two spinners continued to exploit the conditions as the SACS batters fell quickly with only Ethan Burger (45) able to negotiate the testing conditions.
At the end Guy Sheena spun his way to 5/39 off his 18 overs and Jordan Collier took 4/18 off 12 overs. Those 30 overs of spin was all it took to dismantle SACS for just 93 runs and hand Rondebosch a memorable win by 129 runs.
