text: Uncategorized Summer 2016 February 28, 2016 Karen Henderson Leave a comment After grading students' blogs today, I am inspired by what some of them chose to write about. It was a variation of "what I did on my summer vacation," but instead of what they did, students wrote about what they plan to do or hope to do this coming summer. I've been thinking about my own summer vacation, so I thought this would be a great topic for me to explore as well. Two years ago, Chuck and I bought an older Minnie Winnie motorhome. Initially, we looked into renting one of those newer motorhomes you'll sometimes see cruising down the highway in the summer, but the cost was prohibitive. This 1992 Minnie Winnie had been owned by an older couple (yes, older than us) and had been well-cared for, and while not fancy by any means, it would suit us well for traveling with our dogs. We decided to invest in something we could use over and over, and in 2014 we set off on an epic vacation for three weeks of travel. We have marvelous memories from that summer, seeing everything from the Devil's Tower in Wyoming to the Ozark Mountains and Table Rock Lake in Missouri/Arkansas, to Amarillo by morning, and beautiful Santa Fe, New Mexico. I saw the Grand Canyon for the first time, and we managed to see parts of Utah's great parks on the way home. We spent three, lovely weeks just sightseeing and hanging with our favorite friends, Rosie and Basco. I recognized the serenity of getting up each day not knowing what we would experience but looking forward to another day of new experiences, and I took it all in. Last summer, we were short on money, so we decided to stay close to home. We took the motorhome out a couple times for camping, and we enjoyed it, but at the end of the summer, I regretted that we hadn't spent more time in it, exploring other parts of the U.S. Now, as we near midterm of the spring semester, I'm starting to think about what I might want to do this summer, and I have lots of ideas. Adam will spend at least one more summer in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, and I really want to try to spend some time with him hiking, maybe horseback riding, whatever. In the same area, our good friends from Clyde Park, "Uncle Ronnie" and Anne have a place in Big Fork and they sometimes spend time at Flathead Lake. My former colleague and still friend, Mike Cronin, and his wife Jan are living in the Whitefish area, and I'd love to visit them. I have an aunt and uncle in Kalispell, and it would be fun to see them, too. I've never been to Canada. Kind of crazy, really, since I've been to Mexico and Europe and the UK, but I haven't visited the foreign country closest to my home. I've heard lots of good things about the beauty and interesting activities available up north, and that's on my bucket list, too. While I've been to North Dakota dozens of times, I have lots of family there that I'd love to visit, especially in the Dickinson area. Also, I'm curious about the Bakken and all the changes over the past several years, and now things are changing again. If we went that far, it'd be a shame not to touch foot in Wisconsin: I've never been there and that's the only Great Lakes state I haven't visited. But once in Wisconsin, it's just a hop, skip, and jump to Michigan, and we've got lots of friends there, and Michigan borders Ohio, another state I've yet to visit. Heck, we'd practically be in the neighborhood, and we couldn't come back without checking out West Virginia, another state I can't yet check off my list. Gas prices are low this year, much lower than two years ago, and I'll pay off my car in November, so we probably can afford to do a little more this year than last. However, summers in Montana are about the best, and we absolutely love our home in Montana City. Not once, not for one second, have we regretted our decision to move here. Even though I have entertained the possibility of moving somewhere for the perfect professional opportunity, I'm not certain I'd ever be happier than I am here. I'm going to buy a map of Helena hiking trails, Mt. Helena and Mt. Ascension, and spend more time traipsing those trails, more time kayaking and more of that on moving water, and I want to spend some time birdwatching this summer, too. We have an amazing array of birds in our area, and I'm embarrassed not to be able to recognize most of them. And then there's my lonely violin that gets played rarely, and there's our dogs, and Leo the 19-year-old cockatiel. Ah summer… Share this:TwitterFacebookGooglePrintEmailLike this:Like Loading...

Click through any of the samples below to hear a little bit of what I can bring to your project.
In this clip I play the mysterious Shadowman...bringing an ominous message...
I play the announcer throughout this game, alerting the players when they have destroyed an enemy structure and how much time there is left in a match!
For this game, developed by the same team that developed the Fallout game franchise, I portray Quarex the arcade owner. I can be heard here over a radio broadcast, but the players can find my character in person later in the game.
Here I lend my voice as the introduction narrator to the mobile Pokemon-inspired game, Monster Kingdom 2, with a British accent no less.

Why A Jeep Cherokee Is Better Than Any Mustang
Establish frequent indicators of a failing transmission and save your self main expense down the highway. I am not concerned in regards to the transmission as a result of I've a 10 yr guarantee And My earlier automobile was a 2001 town and nation Chrysler with 3.8 liter engine with automated Transmission They stated that individuals had problems with the transmission on that minivan I drove 360,000 plus with loads of things and by no means had an issue.
First time was a month after we bought it in 2014 as an authorized pre-owned Ford. Should you've obtained a lemon Ford Escape, do not put up with it. And do not consider for a minute that irregular is just regular" in any automobile, solely as a result of the producer decides to name it that. Ford tech mentioned this may never be mounted and in 2018 they are popping out with a new clutch.
My daughter obtained a call at present and is now being advised she could be answerable for the price of repairs. If they say there's nothing unsuitable, then i'll trade it in on a car and not using a cvt. The salesman and the shop techs know nothing about these and most transmission retailers won't contact them. Ford Motor Firm must take duty and repair each automotive with this transmission malfunction.
A few of these are pc software changes that Ford apparently hoped would salve the bumpy wounds of Escape homeowners. They name and inform me the car is finished and I'm going choose it up. I drive to work the subsequent day and as I'm parking, the Transmission Fault light comes on and it says service now, I've no reverse and automobiles in entrance of me, so I depart it the place it is. Name Ford, they have no idea what occurred.
I have owned 7 Subaru vehicles since 1984 and all have been manual with a the low vary gear selector. Thanks Ford for screwing over a poor household that was in determined want of a RELIABLE automobile for our child!!! It was fastened beneath the extended guarantee Ford added as a result of they knew they'd points. Shame on Ford particularly from the clients which have stood behind them for years.

Temporal variations in arsenic and copper and lead concentration in Christchurch municipal compost and their accumulation in Canterbury soils
Arsenic (As) is a naturally occuring element in soils. It is a non essential trace metal that can have toxic effects in both plants and animal at relatively low concentrations. Anthropogenic sources of As have included its use in insecticides, herbicides and defoliants in the past while today its commonly used in agricultural production include mining and smelting of non-ferrous metals from runoff or mine tailing waste or smelter emissions. It is widely used as a feed additive for poultry and swine, and the resulting manures can contain elevated As concentrations. Minor sources of As are also derived from phosphate fertilisers, and fossil fuel combustion. This study was completed to investigate the potential sources of the seasonal elevated concentrations of As in Christchurch municipal compost and to investigate potential issues arising from the application of the compost product to agricultural soils in terms of trace metal accumulation. Results indicated a significant trend in As where concentrations were at a minimum during winter while also having significant positive correlations with both chromium (Cr) and copper (Cu). Additionally, As had a significant negative correlation with average Christchurch temperatures, which all suggested CCA treated timber could be a possible source of the variation due to the burning of the treated timber and subsequent addition of the ashes to the green waste bins. An accumulation model was also formulated to attempt to quantify the accumulation of As, Cu, and lead (Pb) within agricultural soil.... [Show full abstract]

I love moments: the in-between moments and the ordinary moments. The moments you want to pause and keep forever. I love details, colour and light.
I've been working as a photographer for about five years. It's been a step-by-step process as we've moved countries and cities during that time. When we moved to Brazil in 2008 I arrived with a point-and-shoot camera. After a while I began to feel frustrated with it's limitations and asked for a DSLR for my 40th birthday. I fell in love with photography, attended workshops, studied online and read all the books I could find.
Photography has changed my perception of the world. As I learned more about my camera and photography, it was the details of our everyday that filled my heart. One day I saw my daughter standing next to the window. It was raining outside, and she was looking out. Her little curls sat on her shoulder and I stopped what I was doing to watch her. It was just a moment. I saw the beauty in that ordinary moment and I ran to find my camera. Now my camera is always out.
My work has evolved and my friends and family have helped me build up a portfolio. These same friends asked me to capture their family and tell their story.
Light, colour, details and emotion all inspire my work. There are times when I focus my attention on one, chasing the light, for example. I'll shoot lots of images with sun flare and backlighting. Then my attention will shift to the bright red of the autumn leaves and I'll want to shoot colour.My style is documentary and lifestyle photography. I tend to lean more towards natural portraits rather than directing my clients. I make suggestions along the way, but I love to capture families in their favourite places to play, that way the location is about them and where they feel most relaxed. I tag along and hide in the bushes. My daughter tells me I look like a stalker.
I also love a timeless portrait that is more directed and posed. I love to capture my daughters in nature, wearing a pretty dress. The idea isn't original, but I love to do this because they love to dress up. I'll have an idea about what I want to create and I build it up with my daughters' suggestions. It's a collaborative effort and we create something that's unique to us.
I dedicate way too much time to my work! Each portrait session takes around 3-5 hours, even though the actual portrait session is around 90 minutes. It's work that I love, and the number of hours in front of the TV has reduced dramatically. That's a good thing.
A typical working day starts after school drop off when I have around six hours before I need to go back to school for pick-up. This time's for shooting, editing, blogging and reading emails. I love the flexibility of working from home. It allows me a freedom that I wouldn't have from a studio. The only problem is limiting my working day. After the kids go to bed, I'll work on anything that didn't get crossed from the to-do list that day. Sometimes the late night editing rolls on to the next day.
The most challenging part of my job is trying to slow down. I tend to be trigger happy and press the shutter button too often. When I slow down and breathe, then I can focus on the details and emotion. It doesn't come naturally to me as I worry about missing the shot. However I've learnt that the shot I get when I do slow down and wait is always better than the 10 that I thought I'd miss.
The many photographers and creatives who I have met along the way of my photography journey inspire me to create and be the artist that I want to be. There are many who criticise social media and the online world. However, I have friends all over the world who inspire me every day with their work and their love of photography. They encourage me to keep going on the days that I feel unhappy with my work.
What I love most about being a photographer is being allowed to tell a person or family's story as it is now. Our life is constantly changing and the story that I capture today will be different to the story that I capture in five years. Our children move from one interest to the next. They grow, and that Batman costume they wore everyday is outgrown and forgotten in the back of the wardrobe.
Last year, I started a 'beauty of motherhood' project. I'm a mother to five gorgeous children, and I love being a mum. The beauty of motherhood can be forgotten with the dreariness of our day to day. The jobs of being a mother can sometimes feel like a thick blanket on a warm day…smothering. We can forget that there is beauty in our roles as mums, as we focus on the washing, cleaning, fighting, messiness of life with children. But there's beauty in motherhood. I wanted to remind myself of this, so I decided to join my two passions: photography and motherhood. I created a project to document the natural and the candid beauty of motherhood. Our smiles are the biggest when our arms are wrapped around our children. There is real joy when we watch them. That smile is what I want to capture. The look of love that is indescribable with words. I set myself a goal to capture 20 mums by Mother's Day this year. I reached that goal, and have decided to continue this project.
I want to continue to grow as an artist and create images as I establish myself in Sydney and my dream is to continue the Beauty of Motherhood project and capture mothers all over the world. There are elements of motherhood that are universal and I'd love to travel and tell their motherhood stories.
This is my favourite photo, it captures four of my five children. We went to Bondi for the day and walked along the coastal walk to Bronte. We stopped along the way and sat on the rocks. The image captures the connection of my children, and a little bit of their personality. My daughter posing at the front, my eldest son laughing at her, my youngest daughter trying to get their attention, and my youngest son looking out at the ocean. In a way it was just a moment, nothing special, but it gave me goosebumps. It's these kind of moments that I love to capture for myself and my clients.
My number one photography advice is to get in the picture. We often want images of our children to document their life. We want to cherish their story. We forget to get in the picture and be part of the story. I know from my Beauty of Motherhood project that we don't always feel comfortable in front of the camera. We only see our flaws, but our children see our beauty. We are beautiful and need to be in the picture.

Display / Banner Advertising
Display advertising or banner advertising as its sometimes called connects you with users outside of Google Search. Instead of the usual text ads, you target people who have already shown an interest in your industry or services and show them visual ads as they browse the web.
The first kind of display advertising you want to get into is Google Ads remarketing, which targets your previous visitors. This is one of Google Ads' standout features, giving you another chance to convert people who didn't quite buy into your product/business the first time around.
There's more to display advertising and the Google's Display Network (GDN) than just remarketing though.
Why should I care about the Display Network?
Remarketing is plenty enough reason to care on its own, but there are other reasons to invest in the Display Network:
- Reach: Google says its Display Network reaches a massive 90% of internet users worldwide.
- Targeting: Reach on its own is does nothing, but combined with Google Ads' targeting options you can pinpoint large audiences who are looking for a business like yours.
- Engagement: The visual nature of display ads makes them more engaging – all that's left is to get them seen by the right people.
- Placement: Which is where Google's advanced placement options come in, allowing you to decide who sees your ads and where.
Google Ads/Bing Ads
Getting the most out of your Pay Per Click can take years of experience. As a Google Premier Partner and Bing accredited agency, Hot Click Marketing has the knowledge & expertise to help you get the most out of your ppc.
With over 10 years experience and millions of pounds of spend managed, we're confident we can increase your conversion rates and boost your ROI.
Google Shopping Ads
Google Ads Shopping Ads turn Google into your own product catalogue for people looking to make that next purchase. Built specifically for retailers, shopping ads are designed to increase traffic from the people most likely to buy the products they see.
Remarketing shows display ads to users who don't convert, increasing your chances of making the sale as time passes. Which means you can increase your overall conversion rates and ROI by reducing that scary 98% into a much smaller figure.
Our goal with display advertising is to target people who've already shown an interest in what you're selling. People who have previously visited your site, searched for products in your industry or even visited your competitors on a regular basis.
We make your brand a regular presence as these people browse the web, showing them that you're the place to come to when they make the next purchase.

Describe the company – the elevator pitch …
BioInspira harnesses biology to transform modern industry infrastructure by providing remote sensor networks for chemical leak detection, so that there will be no waste generated from the use of earth's valuable resources everywhere. Such engineering marvel, if successful, will also provide unprecedented data and insight to everyone, and lead to a safe and smart world.
We create bio-based chemical sensor with receptors designed to bind to target chemicals with high selectivity. This design process is well developed in the pharmaceutical industry, and can enable us to develop arrays of sensors with high accuracy toward many different chemical compounds within only ?2?-?3? months. Our first product is a sensor-enabling detection grid for natural gas leaks, providing 24/7 remote monitoring to help natural gas industry recoup the annual $5B value of lost gas leaking from their infrastructure.
See our CEO, Ray Chiu sharing his visions on the "Internet of Smells" https://t.co/cqCsxd3eVQ
— BioInspira, Inc. (@BioInspira) November 30, 2016
How are you different?
We are? ?leveraging? ??genetic? ?engineering for air chemical detection, different from all other existing sensing technologies. The technology is patent pending. Our proprietary sensor outperforms existing semiconductor-based sensors by three orders of magnitude and creates new capabilities for early detection of leaks at a higher level of accuracy.
Why will the company / product do well?
Short answer is because we are providing what the customer wants. Prior to developing the product, we have talked to hundreds of industrial customers and experts on their work, as well as their needs. We then analyze the results from these interviews, and identified the key value points that we could provide to the customers that could solve their pain point. These pain points are not just everyday operations that the customers want improved, they are problems that persist and is costly or dangerous with the current solution, and they want a better solution right away. Because we have validated this product/market fit, we believe that the company/ product will do well.

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself: "Why do I do what I do?" Why do I believe what I believe? Why do I hold certain things sacred and have very little time for others? Why do I prefer a certain way opposed to another? Good question …
A story is told of an elderly teacher, with a pupil by his side, that took a walk through a forest. Suddenly he stopped and pointed to four plants close at hand.
The first was just beginning to peep above the ground, the second had rooted itself pretty well into the earth, the third was a small shrub, while the fourth was a full-sized tree.
The tutor said to his young companion, 'Pull up the first plant.' The boy did so eagerly, using only his fingers. 'Now pull up the second.' The youth obeyed but found the task more difficult. 'Do the same with the third,' he urged. The boy had to use all his strength to uproot it. 'Now,' said the instructor, 'try your hand with the fourth.' The pupil put his arms around the trunk of the tall tree and couldn't even shake its leaves.
'This, my son, is just what happens with our bad habits. When they are young, we can remove them readily; but when they are old, it's hard to uproot them, though we pray and struggle ever so sincerely.'
The reality is this is true of all habits and not just bad habits.
Everything that's like second nature in your lives right now, at one time or another, used to be like a small young plant.
And as you embraced and nurtured it (knowingly and unknowingly) it started growing and got stronger until it became part of your life. In fact, it has become so much part of you that you no longer second-guess it anymore, or perhaps, never have. "It is just who you are," right!?
Here's a question I've been thinking about a lot in the past and of late: "As Christians, and as church, why do we do what we do?"
Do we even know?
Do we know and yet chose another way?
Or have we never really thought about the way we do things and therefore just perpetuate something that we believe is the right thing, since it's the only thing, and we know nothing else?
Is it perhaps possible that we have been keeping certain "Sacred Cows" alive that should have died a long time ago? And are these sacred cows perhaps keeping us from being set free from a life of tradition-bound devotion to a life of true spiritual freedom?
For example, do you know how it came about that many Christians meet on Sundays and not the Sabbath (like the early Jewish Christians)?
Do you know why we have church buildings? What about the architecture? The general layout of most churches?
Do you know why we sit in rows and where wooden pews come from?
What about the table in the front with the various elements (usually bread or wine, oil or a Bible)?
How about beautifully stained glass in some church buildings?
The pulpit?
The sermon? Clergy attire?
Candles in the service?
Trained and ordained ministers or priests?
Passing of the offering plate.
Multiple church services on a Sunday?
Sunday School?
The list goes on and on.
No doubt, many of the things we do today are habit but do we know what the "small plant" looked like in the beginning. And more importantly, do we have any knowledge of what the Gardener's original intention was and have an intention to continuously progress towards it?
Why do we do what we do? Why do YOU do what you do?
And is it really what Jesus wanted and advocated?
And how does this impact my life as a believer today in a challenging world?
Or more importantly – how has it formed my life and walk as a believer in Christ Jesus in the modern day era?
What exactly happened in the 2000 years since Jesus walked the earth? And what does that means for you and me as believers today.
These are some things we'll be looking at in the next posts. What are the Sacred Cows we're keeping alive but should really be questioned and perhaps even put down?
And who knows, it might turn your world upside down or liberate you forever.
Let's wait and see.
May light and peace fill your life.

Stranks stars as Second stay top
2nd XI v. Berkswell
Kenilworth's 2nd XI travelled to play Berkswell 3's, looking for a win to keep them top of the Warwickshire Cricket League Division Eight East game.
Berkswell were asked to bat first and made a solid start thanks to Marks with a fine 50 and Greyling with 45. Kenilworth's bowlers kept chipping away and seamer Tom Pope took 2 for 32 from ten overs, but it was spinners Phil Edmonds with 1 for 50 and skipper Geoff Edmunds who took yet another five wicket haul, with fine figures of 5 for 38 from ten overs that pegged the hosts back whilst veteran Ali Peebles was also amongst the wickets with 1 for 27, as keeper Michael Watts claimed five catches behind the stumps. Berkswell finished on 209 for 9 from their forty five overs.
Kenilworth made a strong start to their reply, opening pair Phil Edmonds with 39 putting on 77 for the first wicket with Mark Stranks. Martin McKenna with 19 kept the scoreboard moving, as along with Stranks put on 82 for the third wicket, Mark Stranks went on to make a very fine 85 including 15 x 4. It was left to young Henry Curran with 26 not out and Michael Watts 11 not out to see Kenilworth home with eight overs and to finish on 210 for 4 , winning by six wickets. Milnes with 2 for 21 was the pick of the home side's bowling. Kenilworth take 20 points and stay top of Division Eight East to increase their lead to 13 points over the second placed side.
1sts move up table despite remaining winless
1st XI v. Aston
Kenilworth's first team travelled to Aston on the 18th June for their Warwickshire Cricket League Division One match.
Batting first , the game reduced to 43 overs per side, Kenilworth made a strong start with the in form Guy Pearson with 39 and skipper Chris Prophet with 28, but it was Dave Edmunds with a very aggressive innings of 73 (5 x 5 & 5 x 6) off only 55 balls, together with Matt Dargan 36, put on 90 for the third wicket, Tom Booker with a cameo of 23, as Kenilworth made a very decent 267 for 8 from their 43 overs, Tahir taking 3 for 49 for home side Aston.
Aston made a strong start in their reply, and got to 59 without loss, but when leg spinner Brad Fern was introduced, the home slipped to 69 for 4, Fern with figures of 4 for 27 off ten very good overs, wickets also for Phil Edmonds 1 for 28, Matt Dargan 1 for 30 and Pat Howard 1 for 9, but Kenilworth were unable to force the win, Aston finishing on 177 for 7 from their 43 overs, Javed with 65 and Ahmed with 45 stopping the visitors from collecting their first win of the season, but a winning draw and 17 points were reward for the sides efforts.

A 20 man strong party (17 players) set off from Kenilworth for their tour to Devon on Sunday 29th May.
Following the usual breakfast stop on the M5 where the Wattsy lookalikes turned out in style, we made our way to our first game fixture at Honiton CC. On a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon the players arrived to be met by our loyal band of followers, the Edmunds family, the Mort's and Wheat's and Alan Davies (all the way from Ottery St Mary).
A strong Kenilworth side batted first and were 50 for 3 after 13 overs with Dan Horner, Phil Edmonds and Guy Pearson all back in the hut. Neil Goodman the joined his "buddy" Christian Hose to add 120 for the 4th wicket both departed making the same score of 73. Tom Booker and Chris Prophet then added 110 runs with Booker finishing 63 not out and Prophet 25, finishing with a total of 294 for 6 off 40 overs. For Honiton, Jamie Cann took 2 for 21. In reply, Honiton struggled early on against Tom Pope and Alex Watts losing wickets at regular intervals, Andy Lapping run out 23 and Brian Kidson were the only batsmen to trouble our touring side, with Chris Prophet mopping up the tail end with 4 for 23 Honiton finished 94 all out.
A big thank you to the Honiton faithful for staging the game and providing us with a splendid tea together with the momentum of the day 'Mr Hedgehog'.
After an eventful night out in a very busy Exmouth town it was a surprise to see so many at the breakfast table albeit some did only look at their breakfast rather than eat it. Our second game was at the delightful Exmouth CC only a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Following a pleasant morning wandering around town (in a bar or 2) we made our way to the ground, once again met by our band of supporters which had swelled on the arrival of the Booker family, Knacker and Alan's wife Jan. Kenilworth won the toss and again elected to bat and after losing an early wicket with the score on 3 Jorjeet Singh and Chris Prophet took the score to 44 when the second wicket fell, unfortunately unlike the day before we did not take our opportunity to enjoy the Exmouth wicket, losing wickets on a regular basis and only Dan Horner with 13 not out wanted to stay at the crease leaving the touring side 123 all out from just 29 overs.
In reply from ball 1, Tom Pope had the ball in the right areas and was troubling the home side with Ali Peebles at the other end bowling straight, the home side capitulated to 51 all out with Tom Pope 5 for 21, Ali Peebles 4 for 23 and Neil Goodman finishing the game off with 1 for 4. Not a classic for some of the crowd who were among the 300 cars parked on the Exmouth ground on a beautiful bank holiday Monday afternoon.
Again thanks to Exmouth for providing their facilities and the 'tea hut' for providing many of our spectators with lunch and cream teas and a wonderful team tea.
Following a quieter night we made a short journey to Sidmouth another beautiful ground another beautiful day, a number of the touring party took advantage of the local cream tea shops for their mid-morning snack.
Sidmouth batted first in the game and a usual array of quality players all came out playing shots but fortunately the touring side held on to their chances given and reduced the home side to 155 for 8 in 27 overs but first teamer Rob Powell then struck the ball to all parts of Sidmouth harbour scoring 55 not out and then the side declared on 208 for 9, Geoff Edmunds 3 for 54, Alex Watts bowling a fine opening spell of 2 for 22 off 7 overs. Ali Peebles also picked up 2 wickets at a cost of 63 runs. In reply, Matt Dargan with a flourishing 26 and Chris Prophet who finished with 83 made inroads to the home side score. Mark Deeley having his second innings of the season kept the chase going making 50 before being caught and looking rather tired. The tail wagged and managed to add 20 further runs securing a 2 wicket win with 4 overs remaining.
Thanks to grounds man Colin Whitehall for providing a superb wicket and to all the Sidmouth staff for their hospitality.
A successful 3 days with 3 wins for the team and many laughs had with the players and our travelling band of supporters.

T20 disaster
1st XI v. Dunlop
The Club's inaugural entry into the Warwickshire Cricket League T20 competition proved to be a very short lived affair as the side were soundly beaten by visitors, Dunlop, in Round 1 much to disappointment of those who braved the elements to support the side.
The side were bowled out for a miserly 64 after 12 of their allocated 20 overs faced.
Dunlop reached the winning post in the 15th over, albeit for the loss of 6 wickets, as they eased to victory in the gloom ending on 66-6.
Only Tom Pope who top scored with 18 and Chris Prophet 12 managed to reach double figures in what can only be described as a poor batting display. Haffiz took 5-10 from his overs for Dunlop.
In reply, Dunlop eased to victory reaching 66-6 in 14.2 overs as Barber made 14, as did Gupta whilst Hussain on 12 not out saw the side home. Pope took 2-21, Matt Dargan 1-18. Phil Edmonds 2-12 and Prophet 1-10 for Kenilworth.

CHICAGO (WLS) --Jury selection begins Thursday in the wrongful death trial involving the death of Quintonio LeGrier against the city of Chicago and the police officer involved.
LeGrier family is suing the city after the 19-year-old college student was shot by Chicago police Officer Robert Rialmo in 2015 in the West Garfield Park neighborhood on the West Side.
Neighbor Bettie Jones, 55, was also fatally shot. The city of Chicago agreed last week to settle the case of Ms. Jones for $16 million, and the City Council needs to vote on it.
Opening statements are expected on Monday. Attorneys for the city of Chicago would not comment as case proceeds to trial.
Attorneys for LeGrier's estate also declined to comment, but in court, they successfully argued to allow jurors to hear about Jones in the trial.
The day after Christmas 2015, Jones opened the door for police after LeGrier called police in a domestic disturbance. Both were shot and killed by Rialmo.
"Officer Rialmo fired his weapon eight times at the house in that instant. He shot and killed both Quintonio LeGreir and Bettie Jones to suggest that those two deaths should not be referenced in one trial makes no sense," said Larry Rogers Jr., attorney for Jones' estate.
"They are still suffering," Rogers said of Jones' family. "This incident occurred December 26, 2015. For the rest of their lives every Christmas instead of celebrating and being joyous, they'll be thinking about their mother
Police board member agrees with COPA, fate of officer involved in 2015 shooting goes to full board
The full Chicago Police Board will decide if Officer Robert Rialmo will be fired for a 2015 shooting that killed Quintonio LeGrier and Bettie Jones after one member agreed with the Civilian Office of Police Accountability over Superintendent Eddie Johnson.
Joel Brodsky, the attorney representing Officer Rialmo, has filed a counter claim against the city.
He contends that Rialmo was not trained adequately by the city and that LeGrier, who had a baseball bat, was responsible for the officer firing those shots.
On Wednesday, he attempted to have city attorneys sanctioned for added documents with late notice.
The judge ruled against Joel Brodsky's motion, saying there was nothing sanctionable.
"They are trying to hide the motions from me and I think hiding is the theme of the city's actions in this case," Brodsky said.

And one solely for your benefit!
In this space, we will recommend a nugget to treasure in one of the following categories: literary, musical, and visual arts. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, Where do we even begin? There are so many books, albums and movies worth recommending, and so many more that are not. So, for starters, we'll give you one in each category. The first, a film, where the Vores as we know them began; the second, a book, that both Vores have recently read; and the third, a musical that Jon G. and the Squish (my parents) treated us to for my (Erin) graduation.
1. Film: I Am Trying to Break Your Heart. A documentary about Wilco by Sam Jones.
Before Ben and I knew each other, there was Wilco. And it was good. Before Ben and I were an item, there was Ben's Nalgene bottle, decorated with Wilco's Summerteeth sticker. From the moment I saw that bottle under the bug lights of SB2W's mess hall, I knew I'd befriend its owner. By that point in my time at camp, I'd had enough Amy Grant to beef up the spiritual quotient of any pagan nation. Going to see I Am Trying to Break Your Heart at the Belcourt in Nashville is what Ben calls our first date, and what I call our first "outing." Before there was us, there was them, and they filled our heads with glorious images of Jeff Tweedy trying to play nice with an increasingly hostile and be-dreaded Jay Bennet. What strikes me most about the film is the final scene played out to Gene Wilder's exit comments in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The same mystical eeriness that struck me as a kid while watching Charlie exists in the Wilco film — the sense that something has changed and that something can't be recovered, but perhaps it's for the best. I don't like to overanalyze who Wilco is or is not, or what their music means. I more than like their music, I heart their music. Or so the diary entry says…
2. Novel: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. Diaz just won the Pulitzer for this novel, which took him a decade to write. I'm wary of recommending this book to more than half the people we know because it's loaded with Spanglish and many, many a crude and profane image or word, but it was really, really good. It's part truth, part fiction, and it's about Oscar Wao: son of Dominican immigrants, morbidly obese, lover of ladies (who, sadly, are looking for someone less fat, less pock-marked, and less into Star Trek). The story is told through several perspectives: his roommmate, his mother, his grandmother and his sister. It traces back to Trujillo and his reign of terror from 1930 to 1960. Some parts are funny, others are gut-wrenchingly sad. Thank you, Hecks, for loaning us your book.
3. Music: Jersey Boys: The Musical. As a rule, Ben hates musicals. Except this one! It helps to sit next to The Squish, who clapped during most of the songs. Jersey Boys was essentially the greatest VH1 Behind-The-Music ever with cool sets to boot. And Joe Pesci is a character too. But he doesn't sing. Which is probably for the best.

Todos Santos Volunteer Disaster Response Team - In the past couple days I have watched documentaries on the 2004 Sumatra Mega-Tsunami and the 2005 Katrina Hurricane.
One profound thing I took away from these tragic events was that we can NOT rely upon governments to provide effective immediate rescue or relief. In both cases, members of the local community played a very important role in the early stages of the disasters and were vital in saving lives.
So I am proposing the formation of a group of volunteers interested in coming together and beginning the advanced stages of organization and planning for a disaster response team within our local community.
If you would like to become involved, please call or email me.
PLEASE NOTE: The mandate of this team is in no way meant to act on a daily 911 basis, rather it is meant to take effect under extreme circumstances such as a severe hurricane, earthquake, flooding or tsunami in which local emergency services have become over burdened. - Michael Morel, MichaelMorel1973 [-at-] hotmail.com, 6220.127.116.110, Todos Santos

The Network This Friday At Buena Vida - "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"
Network, 1976, Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway
In 1975 terrorist violence is the stuff of network nightly news programming and the corporate structure of the UBS television network is changing. Meanwhile, Howard Beale, the aging UBS news anchor, has lost his once strong ratings share and so the network fires him. Beale reacts in an unexpected way. We then see how this affects the fortunes of Beale, his coworkers (Max Schumacher and Diana Christensen), and the network.

Several trials have demonstrated the superiority of screening and diagnostic mammography using digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) over full-field 2D mammography, specifically demonstrating how DBT increases the detection rate of small invasive cancers and decreases false positive callback rates.
Stereotactic Vacuum Assisted Biopsy
Vacuum-assisted biopsy is a less invasive alternative to excisional biopsy for breast calcifications, masses and architectural distortion. It is associated with minimal scarring, decreased morbidity, faster patient recovery time, and lower cost.
DBT Vacuum Assisted Biopsy
DBT-guided vacuum assisted biopsy (DBT VAB) is a relatively new technique that enables sampling of lesions seen only on tomosynthesis (without a sonographic or MRI correlate) or 2D mammography (Figure 1). Although DBT VAB can be performed while the patient is prone or upright, the upright position offers several advantages.
Comparison of Prone Stereotactic VAB and Upright DBT VAB
In both methods, the breast is positioned and compressed with the target lesion placed within an open window of the compression paddle. In prone stereotactic VAB, the depth of the lesion is calculated from a paired stereotactic set of images by triangulation, which can be challenging and time-consuming, especially for low-contrast lesions such as uncalcified masses, asymmetries, and architectural distortion. In DBT VAB, the depth of the lesion is calculated immediately on the initial tomographic scout image from a single tomographic slice where the lesion is most conspicuous. Coordinates for sampling are then automatically determined by biopsy software after the radiologist indicates the position of the target lesion with a cursor (Figure 2).
A 9-gauge biopsy needle is used for both types of biopsies, and Lidocaine (1% buffered with sodium bicarbonate) is given to anesthetize the skin superficially and deep within the breast along the needle tract. After inserting the needle to the calculated position, images are obtained to confirm accurate needle placement in relation to the target lesion. Multiple core tissue samples are obtained and the specimen is radiographed immediately to confirm the lesions presence in the tissue specimen. A metallic clip is then placed in the biopsy cavity to mark the location of the biopsied lesion and aid in further intervention if surgery is required.
Upright DBT VAB Technical and Practical Advantages
Since instituting the upright DBT VAB procedure, we have experienced several practical and technical advantages over the prone stereotactic VAB procedure for lesions identified with either DBT or 2D mammography. It takes less time to position upright patients and target lesions because the technologists find that this position emulates standard mammographic procedures. A clear plastic full-field paddle allows better visualization of the target lesion and better access to posterior breast lesions, which are difficult to access on a prone table. Patients are biopsied sitting upright in a comfortable padded chair that also reclines so lesions can be sampled from any approach (including inferiorly) and pressure can be held at the biopsy site in a relaxed supine position. Additionally, a wider variety of patients can be biopsied in the upright chair who may not have been unable to tolerate prone positioning, including those with limited mobility, obesity, osteoarthritis and kyphosis.
Massachusetts General Hospital, which pioneered DBT, has offered this technology to patients since 2011. It is now the standard of care in the Breast Imaging Division, with all patients receiving a DBT exam when they present for a screening or diagnostic mammogram. The upright DBT VAB procedure was instituted in January 2016 and is performed at the Avon Foundation Comprehensive Breast Center on the 2nd floor of the Wang Building on the main campus of Massachusetts General Hospital. Appointments can be made through EPIC (inside the Partners network) or Physician Gateway (outside the Partners network) or by calling 617-724-9729 (XRAY).

The Basic Fact Sheet Main Figures provides accident data for 25 EU countries over the period 1997-2006. The fact sheet includes several basic characteristics of fatal road accidents. For example: age and gender, type of road, mode of transport, road user type, seasonality, day of the week and time of the day or the road accident fatalities' share in mortality.
The European Commission set the ambitious aim of halving the number of road traffic fatalities by 2010. With the joint effort of all stakeholders, much progress has been achieved. Despite the reduction of road traffic fatalities this has resulted in, there is still a difference between the actual result and the target set by the EC.
Fact: Road accident fatalities in the EU-25 decreased round 30% between 1997 and 2006.
Fact: If the trend continues at the same rate, the EC's goal of reducing fatalities by 50% by 2010 will not be achieved.
Fact: Fatality rates show both a north-south divide and an east-west divide across Europe (see Figure 1).

One of the questions I frequently get is, "I want to write for the Young Adult market. Is self publishing a good option?"
In a word, "No".
Let's begin with a couple of realities:
Indie publishing is dominated by ebooks.
Young adults and middle-graders like print books.
Yes, there are exceptions, but let's not waste one another's time with tales of our brother's sister-in-law's niece who is addicted to ebooks, or the indie author who hit it big. The reality of the market is that print is king in young adult. Heck, "king" doesn't begin to describe it. Emperor Pope Elvis, maybe?
During a recent YA literature panel at Thrillerfest, popular YA authors shared their own experiences, which are consistent with this trend. All agreed that their ebook sales make up a disproportionately low percentage compared to overall market demographics, and that their ebook readership is comprised almost entirely of adults.
This might seem strange. I mean, kids love technology. They love their phones. Many love reading on Wattpad, or will voraciously read fan fiction online. So what gives?
A few possibilities:
You need a credit card to set up an account with all the major ebook sellers.
Fanfic and Wattpad are free. For a kid with little money, borrowing from the library, receiving books as gifts, or using gift money to buy bargain books is the way to go.
School libraries, classroom libraries, and book fairs help shape reading tastes, and get kids into the habit of reading print books.
It's fun to snap a pic of your new book purchase and share it on Instagram. Not so much with your new ebook purchase.
Ebooks are great formats for story delivery, but as a memento of the reading experience, they lack something. There's something special about owning a favorite book in print, and it's even more special if it's the actual copy you read the first time. Kids, in particular, love owning a tangible reminder of the way they felt when they read a beloved story for the first time.
So what does this mean for us?
If your goal is to sell stories to the young adult market, neither self-publishing nor small/mid-size press are likely to help you achieve your goals. You aren't likely to get into school libraries without reviews in professional trade journals. Book fairs won't carry your books. You might manage to schedule some school appearances, but the barriers are much lower with an established publisher.
Many independent publishers will publish YA books, but few deliver results. If you're considering a publisher, check your local bookstores and libraries and see if their books are on the shelves. Check the Amazon rankings of their titles and see if they're selling. See if any of the teen readers you know have heard of any of their authors or titles. The answer to all of those is likely to be "No." I know this is harsh, but I know too many authors who ended up disappointed because their self/indie press-published YA/Middle Grades/New Adult book(s) didn't reach their target audience.
Many adults read and enjoy stories aimed at the YA market, so it's possible that you could succeed in selling to those readers, but if you want to sell your books to teens and young adults, the "traditional" route remains the way to go.
On the positive side, new YA authors are being signed and published all the time. Study the market, research literary agents, and follow best submission practices.
Good luck and keep writing!

Global Aluminum Market: Snapshot
Well-entrenched players in the highly competitive global aluminum market have adopted multi-pronged growth strategies to stay ahead in the competition. Of them, strategic alliances is a vital strategy that is expected to benefit key players for competitive gains.
The expansion of the construction sector post the global economic slump of 2008 is one of the key growth drivers of the global aluminum industry. In particular, rapid industrialization and urbanization in the emerging economies of Asia Pacific leading to the construction of commercial and residential buildings account for high demand for aluminum and aluminum alloys. This is because of their properties of high corrosion resistance and reduced self-weight.
The increasing use of aluminum in automobiles to reduce their weight for fuel economy is also immensely benefitting the aluminum industry.
As per a report by Transparency Market Research, the global aluminum market is predicted to display a CAGR of 6.4% between 2017 and 2025. Progressing at this rate, the market will be valued at US$249.29 bn by the end of 2025 from US$143.87 bn in 2016.
Transportation End-use Segment led Overall Market in 2016
The global aluminum market has been studied based on a few parameters in this report. In terms of type, the aluminum market has been bifurcated into pure aluminum and aluminum alloys. Vis-à-vis revenue, aluminum alloys held the leading share of the market in 2016, owing to their increasing demand over pure aluminum.
On the basis of product, the segments into which the global aluminum market has been divided depending upon product are plates, sheets & foils, ingots, cables &wires, and others. Of them, in 2016, the segment of ingots held the leading share of the market based on revenue.
The report divides the global aluminum market based on end-user into transportation, electrical, construction, foils & packaging, and others. Amongst all, the transportation sector dominated the overall market in terms of revenue in 2016.
Construction Boom Accounts for Dominance of Asia Pacific
Geography-wise, the global aluminum market has been classified into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. Of them, in 2016, Asia Pacific led the market with more than 60% share. Going forward, the region is expected to hold dominance over the forecast period.
The growth of Asia Pacific aluminum market is attributed to few factors. The booming construction sector in countries such as India, China, Malaysia, and Vietnam as a result of rapid industrialization and urbanization is indirectly benefitting the aluminum industry. This is mainly because of high durability and strength and low self-weight of aluminum and aluminum alloys that make them suitable for residential and commercial buildings as well as infrastructure such as bridges and flyovers.
Another key factor driving growth of the Asia Pacific aluminum market is growth of the automobiles industry. Economic development and rising purchasing power in the emerging economies of the region is leading to a substantial demand for automobiles. Growth in the demand for automobiles has led to a substantial increase in fuel consumption, which in turn has led to surge in fuel prices in the region. To address this, automobile manufacturers are substituting steel frame with aluminum alloys that reduces the body weight of the vehicle substantially without compromising on the strength and weight carrying capacity of the vehicle. The light weight of the vehicle assures fuel economy, reduced emissions, and more efficiency. This is having a positive bearing on the Asia Pacific aluminum market.
Key players in the global aluminum market are Alcola Corporation, Norsk Hydro ASA, Emirates Global Aluminum PJSC, Aluminum Corporation of China Limited, RUSAL, and RioTinto among others.
