Brighton remains in first after tie with Hartland
Brighton girls soccer coach Chris Stevanovic would be the first to tell you defeating any team twice in a season is difficult, never mind a heated rival sitting in second place, one game back in the division and desperately wanting a piece of the crown.
For about 50 minutes of Thursday's game against Hartland, Stevanovic and his girls thought they had it. With about two minutes left and up a goal for the majority of the game, the Bulldogs had been thinking they had finally earned a sweep of Hartland.
Then Hartland's Jenna Halonen struck.
Halonen came out of a scrum directly in front of the Brighton net as the clock wound down on Thursday's game and found an opening to put the ball into the back for the net, turning what appeared to be a certain Eagles' loss into a 1-1 draw that, if nothing see, prevented Brighton from getting its first sweep of the Eagles since 2009.
"It was good to see us fight all the way to the end and get that goal," said Hartland coach Andrew Kartsounes, who was happy with the effort but not with the ultimate result. "But we were looking for the win. We needed one as far as the league goes."
With the Eagles having lost to Brighton, 4-0, earlier in the year and trailing the Bulldogs in the KLAA West by a game, a tie wasn't ideal. The ideal scenario for the Eagles was a victory that would've put both teams atop the standings, and both having wins over each other to contribute to the tiebreaker at the end of the year.
Instead, Hartland now needs Brighton to lose twice in its final three games. And because the Eagles couldn't beat the Bulldogs this season, there will not be another shared division championship as there was between the two schools a season ago.
"We just had to come out without losing, and we accomplished that tonight," Stevanovic said after the game. "We still have the tiebreaker against Hartland, which is huge for us. We gotta play Grand Blanc on Tuesday, but we're still in the driver's seat."
The Bulldogs are in that position thanks to a miraculous goal from Mackenzie Chwalibog.
Chwalibog has been entrusted this season by her coach to handle all of Brighton's set pieces. She's proven her worth in that role time and time again. On Tuesday in Brighton's 2-0 win over Howell, she was responsible for teeing up both of the Bulldogs' scores on corner kicks.
Rather than aim for a teammate on Thursday, she went for the goal herself on a free kick. It was a shot that the senior said she's never made before, even in practice. Somehow, it went in during the first half Thursday to put Brighton up, 1-0.
"It was right about 30 yards out and Chris said look for the back crossbar," Chwalibog said. "So I just went for the goal. I've never scored from there before. I was ecstatic, really."
"That's why she's on the ball every set piece, every corner kick," Stevanovic said. "She creates most of our goals. A lot of our goals are on set pieces this year, and proof to the point right there, she scored from 40 out. You can blame the keeper all you want, but it was bar down and a pretty good hit."
No one was necessarily pinpointing blame, but Kartsounes said he believed his goalie did slightly misjudge the shot, perhaps thinking it was high or wide rather than on target. Still, even he admitted to being surprised the shot found a way in.
"I guess you put it on net and things happen, right?" Kartsounes said with a laugh.
After that, Brighton controlled much of the tempo for the remainder of the first half. However, in the second things clearly went Hartland's way, with the Eagles gaining more control of the ball and threatening often.
They had several chances in the second. Maddie Pogarch hit a laser earlier in the second that sailed just high of the net. A few minutes later on a corner kick, Pogarch was denied by a diving Brighton keeper Madison Gould.
Before Hartland finally netted the equalizer, there were numerous scrums in the Brighton box that just happened to bounce the Bulldogs' way. Not with under two minutes left, however, when a cross found its way to Halonen.
It was certainly a goal and a comeback to celebrate. If it had happened earlier in the year, it most likely would've been a greater deal to the Eagles, who were not content with the result because of what it meant in the standings.
"Not what we wanted," Kartsounes told his team after the game. "But a good effort."
Milford 5, Hartland 3
MILFORD – Justin Smith pitched well for the Eagles in a game that had been suspended on Friday, but the Eagles struggled on offense, loading the bases three times and scoring twice.
"Milford made a couple of good outfield plays" to end rallies, Hartland coach Brian Morrison said. "Justin did a great job holding them down. He held them scoreless and gave us a shot."
Milford led 5-1 when the game was suspended.
Novi 9, Brighton 0
NOVI – The Wildcats handed the Bulldogs their second loss of the season.
"They's tough team," Brighton coach Jeff Miner said. "We'll see them a couple more times in conference and regionals, so we'll have other chances against them."
South Lyon 5, Hartland 4
SOUTH LYON The Eagles (2-6) took three of four flights in singles, but the Lions won four of the five doubles matches.
Fowlerville 6, Lansing Waverly 2
LANSING – Fowlerville won three of four flights in both singles and doubles while improving to 6-1 on the season.

As a former captain for a Louisiana Tech women's college basketball powerhouse who played four seasons in the WNBA, Monica Maxwell found many ways to impact a game.
"Garbage buckets, offensive rebounds and steals," Maxwell said. "I was one of those players that just did a lot of the dirty work. I'd dive on the floor for a ball that I knew I couldn't get just to fire up the crowd."
Now Maxwell, two decades removed from her playing days, believes she has the tools to make a different kind of impact as the OSAA's new assistant executive director. The intangibles she brings as a former athlete and athletic director, and her experience at state-level leadership and committee roles in Indiana, give her a wide-ranging perspective.
"I think my lens is broad because of that," Maxwell said. "I'm excited about what I bring. I'm also excited to learn, because there's a lot that I don't know. There are a lot of things that you guys do in Oregon that we don't do in Indiana. So it's an opportunity for me to learn and also share some of my own experiences."
Born and raised in Hammond, Ind., Maxwell graduated from East Chicago Central High School in 1995. As a senior, she was rated as the No. 2 shooting guard in the country for a team for a team that earned a No. 1 national ranking.
She had a stellar college career at Louisiana Tech, where she played on two Final Four teams, including the national runner-up her junior season. Undrafted by the WNBA, she played one season for the Washington Mystics before being selected by the Indiana Fever in an expansion draft, sending her back to her home state. In the 2000 season, she was second in the league in three-pointers with 62.
"Going to Indiana was the best thing that could've happened to my career," said Maxwell, who was inducted into the Indiana Women's Basketball Hall of Fame last year. "It was like home. It was the first time since high school that my friends and family had a chance to see me play again. And I think the organization really did a nice job of getting us connected into the community. We did a lot of things."
After three seasons with the Fever, Maxwell assisted the girls basketball team at Pike High School in Indianapolis for three seasons. She got into college coaching, spending one season each assisting at Tulane and Cal State Northridge, before becoming the athletic director at her old high school in 2007.
In between two stints as the East Chicago Central athletic director (2007-10, 2017-21), among other jobs, she worked out of the NCAA office in Indianapolis as a representative for Advocates for Athletic Equity, previously known as the Black Coaches Association.
She spent 2021-22 as the athletic director at Arsenal Tech High School in Indianapolis. During her time involved in high school athletics in Indiana, she served on the state association's board of directors and was vice president of the state athletic director association.
In the meantime, she reassessed her career path.
"About four or five years ago, I set professional goals for myself to get out of the schools, and I wanted to get into a state association office," said Maxwell, who has a bachelor's degree in computer information systems and two master's degrees. "I started preparing myself for that. I was just kind of waiting my turn for the right position to come available."
She learned about the open position at the OSAA through a friend in Florida and decided to apply despite her unfamiliarity with Oregon. The OSAA announced her hiring in June.
"I'm real excited," Maxwell said. "I've been in some working environments that weren't as comfortable as this one. I think the people in this office really know their stuff and they actually genuinely like each other. I think it's a good team.
"It's what I was looking for. It's a good professional atmosphere here. I think that is more than anything probably what drew me to Oregon. … It just kind of feels like home."
She will be overseeing soccer, basketball, softball and band/orchestra for the OSAA. As the fall season quickly approaches, she said she is "trying to wrap my head around soccer."
Maxwell came to Oregon by herself and settled near Mountainside High School in Beaverton. She is exploring her new home by bicycle.
"I love riding my bike," she said. "I lived in downtown Indianapolis, so I parked my car and I wouldn't get back in it until I had to. So I'd just get on my bike and go everywhere. The hills here are just unforgiving. You'd better be in shape if you're going to ride your bike or you'll be walking up a hill."

55 N. Barron Blvd., Grayslake, IL 60030
Very clean and organized. Clothes are seemingly clean (i.e. not soiled or noticably stained, no detectable smells). Items are well organized and grouped together for ease of shopping. Prices were mostly average with some being rather high for thrift. There is a designer rack which is rather subjective as to what one would classify as 'designer'-Aeropostale is not designer in my opinion. Each week there is a sale on different colored tags. The downside is that the staff on the day I went was pretty rude, or maybe just indifferent. There were a few volunteers and/or staff in the store, they all looked up as I walked through the door and the bell jingled, but not one uttered a friendly "hello" or "hi". Same thing when checking out, not a "thank you" was uttered. In fact the only words spoken were the total amount of my purchases. This may not be a huge deal to some, but for a Christian based "business" this is rather unkind. I know children that have better manners than were displayed here. I will go back because it is convenient and benefits a good cause, but it would be nice if the staff/volunteers would improve on their people skills.
We have donated and shopped here for years and it is always a plesure to see Jerry,Joan and Sarah as they are always so happy and helpful and take the time to talk with you.There has been a change in pricing which is way too high for the items, some things can be purchased brand new for less money. Some of the voluntteers and other customers have commented on this also.Hope they go back to reasonable prices once again!!!!
I absolutely love going into this shop. I can be having one of the worst days and all I have to do is enter into this store. The Christian presence is so awesome. I exspecially love it when Jerry is working. He is so out going and friendly. He always has a beautiful smile and radiates God's love. I think he is the greatest blessing Tri-County has added to their staff in a great time. I have been a shopper and given donation for thge past 6 years.
Joanie, our customer service person, was wonderful! My sister and I found beautiful dresses and a variety of wedding accessories for my wedding! Joanie's enthusiasm and kindness simply abounded as she assisted us with everything we needed. She was so helpful and so excited about my family and my wedding story ... Joanie was like an Angel! I'd recommend this store to anyone! You'll feel like a better person when you leave! Thank you Joanie! Hugs and Blessings, Dr. Frances Ann Hill Flagstaff, AZ

When the Wesleyan missionaries transferred their operations from Whangaroa on the east coast to Hokianga on the west, they seem to have taken it for granted that the whole of the west coast was to be reserved for them, while the east was to be the sphere of the Church. But the physical features of the island were opposed to such an arrangement.
The one which killed him went through his throat. As soon as he fell all his followers fled, leaving about nine of their companions dead on the field, amongst whom was Oro, the chief who commenced our Whangaroa robbing. This ended the contest.
Stormy weather delayed the progress of the brig and brought much misery to those on board. Three weeks passed before the New Zealand coast was sighted, but Saturday, December 17th, brought the travellers opposite to Tasman's "Three Kings," and on the following Tuesday they were off the harbour of Whangaroa, where the remains of the Boyd still lay.
Some go and come between Auckland and Grahamstown, or Coromandel, in the Hauraki Gulf; others go to Tauranga, the Bay of Plenty, Napier, Wellington, and the South Island; one or two go northward to Mahurangi, Whangarei, the Bay of Islands, Whangaroa, and Mongonui.
In the face of hardship, insult, and plunder, the work went on. A schooner, the Herald, was built in the Bay of Islands to act as messenger and carrier between the missionary stations, which pleasant oases in the desert of barbarism began to dot the North Island from Whangaroa as far south as Rotorua among the Hot Lakes. By 1838 there were thirteen of them.
Tarore's copy was not the only one that found its way into the wild southern lands. Hence it was that Marsden's last visit bore the aspect of a triumphal progress. Landing at the Wesleyan station on the Hokianga River at the end of February, he was received with the utmost joy by the missionaries, who remembered his constant kindness to them, especially at the time of their flight from Whangaroa.
The immense piles of sawn timber lying here give to us new-chums some notion of the vast timber-trade of Northern New Zealand, especially since we learn that much which goes to the South Island and elsewhere is shipped direct from Whangaroa, Hokianga, the Kaipara, and other ports in the north.
The late plundering of the missionaries at Whangaroa was a peculiar circumstance, which might have happened even in civilised Europe, had the seat of war approached so near their place of residence. If their houses and chapel had been on the plains of Waterloo during the June of 1815 they would not have experienced a better fate.
In the worst of times no missionary's life was taken. The Wesleyans at Whangaroa did indeed, in 1827, lose all but life. But the sack of their station was but an instance of the law of Muru. Missionaries were then regarded as Hongi's dependants. When he was wounded they were plundered, as he himself was more than once when misfortune befel him.
The presents which he carried home, and the house built for him by Governor King upon his island, excited the envy of his neighbours, who eventually found a way to compass his destruction by means of the Europeans themselves. Te Pahi happened to be at Whangaroa when the Boyd was captured in 1809, and he did his best to save some of the crew from the terrible slaughter that followed.

 -U.S. President Joe Biden will probably advance a "whole slate" of nominees to the Federal Reserve Board, which may or may not include current chair Jerome Powell and will ensure a greater emphasis on workers, Senator Sherrod Brown said on Tuesday.

In an interview with Bloomberg Television, Brown, the head of the Senate banking committee, said he had spoken with Biden "just the other day" about the makeup of the Federal Reserve board.

The president understood that workers should be at the center of economic policy, which "includes making the Fed look more like America but think more like America too," said Brown, adding that he gets along well with Powell but the decision on Powell's renomination is Biden's.

The Senate banking committee oversees the Fed and must sign off on Fed nominees before they can be considered for approval by the Senate as a whole.

Powell's term as Fed chair expires in February; the seven-member Fed Board also has one vacant seat and at least one and potentially two other seats that will open up in coming months.

"When the president looks for making up to four nominations – maybe including Powell, maybe not – there will be a much great emphasis on workers," Brown told Bloomberg TV.

The White House has not chosen any fixed timetable for Biden to make a decision on Fed personnel, a process delayed by congressional negotiations over his signature economic revival package.

"We know there are going to be vacancies on the Fed Board of Governors – we need a full board of governors at the Fed," a spokesperson for Brown said.

Despite a time crunch to seal that deal, administration officials have been discussing their options for Fed appointments in recent weeks, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The question of who should run the Fed comes at a critical moment for the U.S. economy.

Central bankers have signaled they will begin reducing their support for the economy next month by cutting back what is currently $120 billion in monthly asset purchases down to nothing by the middle of next year.

Policymakers are divided on how soon after that they will need to start putting the brakes on economic growth with interest rate hikes, with much depending on whether currently high inflation has begun to subside as many expect, as well as who is on the rate-setting committee by that time.

Two of the most hawkish of the Fed's 12 bank presidents, who along with the Fed Board decide on monetary policy, resigned last month amid an outcry over their securities trading.

In response, Powell tightened restrictions on policymakers' investing, although some critics see the scandal as one more reason to pick someone else to run the Fed.

Some progressives favor current Fed Governor Lael Brainard to take over.

Others who support keeping Powell in his current role say Brainard could make her mark on both climate and regulation if she takes over as the Fed's regulation czar, a slot that opened up earlier this month after Randal Quarles' term expired.

"That position is really really really important," Brown said of the vice chair for supervision role, adding that he's spoken with Biden about "a couple" of people he would support for the job.

Brown said that though Powell has "done some things that I think are too supportive of Wall Street when it comes to deregulation, and he is not engaged enough on climate," he has done a "reasonably good job on monetary policy."

Brown's remarks contrasted sharply with those of Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is also on the banking committee and has said she will oppose Powell's renomination, citing what she sees as his weak record on regulation.

On the weekend Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen defended Powell's regulatory record, though she declined to say what advice she was giving Powell on the issue.

Watch: Deer smashes up restaurant in Grand Rapids
A deer left behind quite a mess after finding itself stuck in an under-construction Minnesota restaurant.
Footage shared by the Grand Rapids Police Department shows the deer loose in the Ground Round Bar and Grill off of South Pokegama Avenue.
The video starts by showing the animal in one of the bathrooms, with smashing sounds following shortly thereafter.
The deer then heads out into the main room of the restaurant, trying to leap throw windows in an attempt to get out, before eventually finding the door.
The Grand Rapids Police Department told FOX 9 there were a few construction workers inside when the deer just "moseyed right in."

Homeless who lost their lives this past year memorialized in service
One was a baby, just two hours old. Another, an elderly woman, age 81. Four died by homicide, including a man stabbed to death at a Ventura bus stop earlier this month. Another got hit by a car.
More than 53 people died while homeless in Ventura County in 2016. That's about double the average number of deaths reported annually among the county's homeless over the past decade.
On Sunday, members of the faith community, social service workers, and homeless and formerly homeless people gathered at Plaza Park in downtown Ventura to honor each person who passed this year while living on the streets. The solemn ceremony – which culminated with the reading of the names of the deceased - marked the 11th time the Unitarian Universalist Church of Ventura has held its Homeless Persons' Memorial Service.
"We gather to honor lives which were lived on the margins of our community, people who have been ignored, overlooked, left out quite literally in the cold," said Rev. Dana Worsnop of the Unitarian Universalist Church. "We gather because we know that every life lost must be mourned. We gather because we know there are no forgettable, dispensable people in the world. We will not forget. We will not ignore. We will remember."
The ceremony was punctuated with prayers, songs, and poetry from the county's Poet Laureate, Phil Taggart. At the end of the service, attendees grabbed flowers and signs with the names of the departed and walked in a silent procession through downtown Ventura.
Roy Foster, 54, a formerly homeless man, lingered behind as the service ended and struggled to fight back tears. He said he knew six of the people named on the list, and another who wasn't mentioned but who he'd recently found out died from alcohol addiction. He said he'd known the man since he was in middle school.
"I'm kind of speechless. These people were my friends," Foster said. "I'm angry that it keeps going on. That they're swept off of the carpet. That there are no year-round shelters to get them off the street. I'm angry, I'm hurt and I'm confused."
Nobody could say for sure why the list of names was so long this year. Typically, between 14 and 26 deceased homeless people are honored at the annual memorial. Organizers gather the names from the county's medical examiner, social service workers and case managers familiar with the homeless.
Worsnop said the increase in deaths could be related to changes in state law that have released from prison thousands of people who were incarcerated for low-level drug and theft crimes. Some end up on the street because they don't receive the support services they need, she said.
Being homeless takes an average of 20 years off a person's lifespan.
"The life is so hard out there, and of course many of our people who are homeless are at the same time suffering from either mental illness or from addiction," said Sue Brinkmeyer, who helped organize the memorial service. "Those take a toll on the body just as it does being out and sleeping in the river bottom or sleeping in a doorway. And there just aren't enough treatment centers, and certainly not enough housing."
Taggart, who became emotional as he read his poems during the ceremony, said he attends the memorial every year. He said his own brother and several people he'd known had suffered homelessness.
"It is such a problem," he said. "We get so used to it they stop being people because we're not looking at them, we're looking past them... To fix it we have to acknowledge it, we have to acknowledge that they're people, their basic humanity, and treat them with basic humanity. And one way we do that is to remember them."

Oregon guard Tyler Dorsey draws the foul on Arizona State forward Eric Jacobsen (21) during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game, Sunday, Jan. 31, 2016, in Tempe, Ariz. Oregon defeated Arizona State 91-74. (AP Photo/Rick Scuteri)
During the nonconference portion of the Oregon men's basketball season, Tyler Dorsey looked nearly unstoppable.
He had a summer of hype coming in with him, yet the freshman flourished during his debut months with the Ducks. Three times in nonconference play, Dorsey scored more than 20 points, and he shot worse than 40 percent in only four of 11 games.
In short, Dorsey did everything that was expected out of the highly regarded recruit.
But recently, the 6-foot-4 guard has struggled. On Sunday against Utah, Dorsey had just three points on 1-of-6 shooting. Against Colorado he had 13 points, but was just 3 of 12 from the field. In Pac-12 play, Dorsey has shot worse than 40 percent in five of the Ducks' 11 games and has yet to reach the 20-point plateau.
But Oregon head coach Dana Altman isn't worried about his talented freshman.
"Because of his shooting percentage they've been pushing out on him a lot quicker," Altman said of the Pac-12 defenders. "He's got to get more comfortable. A couple penetration kicks he was wide open and we missed him. Those are shots we got to get him. We missed him and he's got to get ready a little bit more. It's a combination of things."
Fortunately for Oregon, the Ducks have enough weapons on offense that a player has time to figure things out. Four players, including Dorsey, are averaging double figures in scoring. On one night, Dillon Brooks can lead the team in scoring, like the 30 he netted against Utah. On the next, Chris Boucher can lead the way, like the 26 he scored against Arizona State. While defenders are beginning to adjust to Dorsey, he has the luxury of being able to learn how to deal with them.
Dwayne Benjamin remembers how it went last season when he was in the midst of his first Pac-12 season. Against the first wave of teams, Benjamin said he could get away with more things. That quickly changed once other teams got film on him.
"At the beginning they weren't respecting my shot so much," said Benjamin, who averages 8.5 points per game as a senior. "Then they started labeling me as a shooter and I had to find different ways to score."
One of the theories brought up with Dorsey is fatigue. Dorsey played this summer with Greece's U19 team at the FIBA World Championships before jumping right in with the Ducks. He also missed two games with an injury during the nonconference portion of the schedule and is averaging the third-most minutes per game (29.1) on the team.
But Dorsey isn't the only player who played this summer, as Brooks represented the Ducks on team Canada. Assistant coach Michael Mennenga said the coaching staff keeps on eye on fatigue and that it shouldn't be an issue.
"Coach Altman factors all of that in," Mennenga said. "We know exactly where these guys' energy levels are at day to day, and Coach embraces all that information. As far as those guys breaking down? Nah, those guys are built to last."
And Dorsey has shown flashes of getting out of the slump. After scoring 14 points combined against USC and UCLA, he responded with 28 points on 8-of-18 shooting in his next two games against Arizona and Arizona State. And while he struggled again this past week, the Ducks continued to win handily, taking pressure off the freshman to fire off shots.
His stroke will come, teammates say, and when it does, look out.
"Teams are obviously scouting and watching more film on him and stuff," sophomore guard Casey Benson said. "He's going to keep doing what he's doing. He's had a big year for us and we need him every game."

Summer vibes for 2019
April 26, 2019
Summer brings on memories of swimming pools, fireworks and grilling. When I was choosing songs for this playlist, I tried to think about my summers. I particularly remember driving with friends and listening to chilled out songs by Blackbear and other artists. I also remember blaring bass-heavy hip-hop songs. While some of the songs I chose are newer releases, others are songs from Douglass Family Aquatic Center over the summer of 2018. I tried to find a happy medium with equal amounts of different summer vibes, from the heavy bass of "West Coast" to the chilled out island vibes of "Warm."
G-Eazy & Blueface "West Coast" (feat. ALLBLACK & YG)
[spotifyplaybutton play="https://open.spotify.com/track/4EnEGf9JzAJhF1XNY9DJcD"/] This song has big west coast vibes that remind me of lifeguarding outdoors and hanging out with friends. I am a big fan of both G-Eazy and ALLBLACK, both Bay Area artists. The combination of all four rappers just puts the song on overdrive. "West Coast" is just a big hype song I love to play when I am hanging out with friends.
Keegan "Manhattan" (feat. Marc E. Bassy & Skizzy Mars)
[spotifyplaybutton play="https://open.spotify.com/track/33pXpH7VVUVGET3ui4CI4T"/] Marc E. Bassy has a lot of great songs I enjoy, as does Skizzy Mars. Whenever the two team up, their styles just blend perfectly, and this song does not disappoint. Bassy's catchy chorus and Keegan's sample just makes a very lighthearted song to play in the car or at a party.
Dre'es "Warm" (feat. Mia)
[spotifyplaybutton play="https://open.spotify.com/track/3kBofOTKMUZ62a311eUwvx"/] An overall chilled out track, "Warm" is a song I was introduced to over the summer when I got a ride from a coworker. Everytime I hear the guitar riff in the intro I just kick back. Mia's voice especially stands out and the duo bring a pleasing vocal performance.
Mansionz "Wicked" (feat. G-Eazy)
[spotifyplaybutton play="https://open.spotify.com/track/4wFHz9UQtuXUgbhy7cn8qk"/] Although the theme of the song is a little gloomy, the upbeat tone makes the song very cheerful. The song is very catchy, with the narrative about a girl who is "Wicked" and refuses any advances from both Mansionz and G-Eazy.
P-Lo "thrive"
[spotifyplaybutton play="https://open.spotify.com/track/7x8eCslLx8F2TMrbG5HB5g"/] Off P-Lo's sophomore album, "thrive" is all about being the greatest and ignoring anyone trying to slow you down. Toward the end of the song P-Lo included a clip from a 2015 interview with Kanye West talking about continuing to be the best. The song has a great message and I used to listen to it before work every morning because I would feel lifted and ready.
Anthony Russo "Kings and Queens"
[spotifyplaybutton play="https://open.spotify.com/track/0Ma5O2gbawWh8jziDVtheC"/] Anthony Russo's music in general is very focused on love and heartbreak, this one being about the latter. Russo talks about how things have changed with a girl who wants a serious relationship, mostly how he thought he could "be a self-made bachelor" but now he realizes he might also want a serious relationship. The track is a great story of boy-meets-girl with the added suave of Russo.
Weezer "Island in the Sun"
[spotifyplaybutton play="https://open.spotify.com/track/2MLHyLy5z5l5YRp7momlgw"/] Any summer playlist is nothing without at least one song by Weezer. I chose this particular track because when I flew to Florida during the summer of 2016, "Island in the Sun" came on the instant we broke through the clouds over Ft. Lauderdale. Everytime I hear the song I immediately think about my trip to Florida and all the good memories.
Lauv & Troye Sivan "I'm So Tired…"
[spotifyplaybutton play="https://open.spotify.com/track/7COXchtUOMd6uIT6HvmRaI"/] "I'm So Tired" is another song that just reminds me of good times. After a long week, my friend picked me up and we drove around town listening to music, and when this came on we both sang the lyrics with the windows down. It's been a tradition to play the song when we hangout.

Since beginning to use these products, my skin feels softer and my uneven facial skin tone, with age spots, has brightened.
Combining Daily Essentials, wearing 50 SPF, and always wearing a hat while outdoors this past summer, I have noticed that my facial age spots have also begun to fade.
I am very happy with the results and I will continue to use these products. Highly recommend!"
How your skin care could be making you sick…
Studies have shown that some ingredients in skin care products have been linked to certain types of cancer, birth defects and infertility.
Parabens, often found in moisturizers, have been found in human breast tumors and studies have shown parabens can potentially influence the abnormal growth of breast cells.
Plus, there's a lack of regulation in the skin care industry so the term 'natural' lacks real meaning beyond marketing hype.
This means products can still contain toxic chemicals along with one or two natural ingredients and the company can claim the products are natural.
Right now, companies are regulating themselves while you're paying the price.
At The Spa Dr®, we care about your health and pride ourselves on safety and transparency.
Our Daily Essentials Collection is Environmental Working Group (EWG) verified™ as clean, contains no toxic ingredients and is cruelty free.

It's always difficult to make a selection of the most beautiful places in Paris. I think the perfect itinerary for three days in Paris is this (bring comfortable shoes because you will have to walking a lot!):
Spend the morning of the first day at the Louvre, obligatory stop in Paris also for those who are not a lover of museums. Prepare yourself before with a mental itinerary of the art works that you prefer to see because the Louvre is so big that it would take several days to visit it entirely! Open every day, except Tuesdays, here's times, map and all useful information to plan your visit: Information about Louvre If there is a long queue at the entrance, do not be intimidated, and use a secondary entrance less known of the Louvre! In the link you will find the addresses of the other entrances, I recommend the entry from the Galerie du Carrousel so you will pass also in front of the point where the two pyramids meet (those who have read The Da Vinci Code will immediately understand what I mean!).
For the afternoon I suggest a walk on the Champs-Élysées. If there is good weather, and you want to walk, you can reach them directly from the Louvre passing through the Tuileries garden to the Ferris wheel in the Place de la Concorde, starting point of the Champs-Elysees that you can cross to the Arc de Triomphe. If you are tired of walking after the Louvre instead the Arc can be reached directly by underground getting off at Charles de Gaulle – Étoile.
After sunset I recommend you get to the Tour Montparnasse, going up on the 59th floor you will have a view of Paris illuminated. I consider this the most romantic place in Paris! If you want you can also book a dinner in the tower restaurant and dine with a view of Paris.
The tour costs 14 € for adults, 11 for children aged 16 to 20 years and for students; anyway on the website you will find all prices and times for both visits and dinners: Tour Montparnasse
For the morning I recommend you go to Montmartre to see the Sacre Coeur Basilica and from there walk to the Moulin Rouge (it's not recommend to go in the evening in the Pigalle area where the Moulin Rouge is!).
From there you can reach the Paris Opera (also called Palais Garnier), I suggest you enter to visit it because it's really beautiful! The circular ceiling in the picture was painted by Marc Chagall.
For shopaholics, near the Opéra you find the Galeries Lafayette department store. Little tip: from the top floor of the department stores you can find a beautiful view of the city.
You can spend the afternoon at the Eiffel Tower, I recommend to get off at Trocadéro station, around the corner you will find the tower in front of you and you can go down by steps and walk right under the Tour.
From there, if you are interested in, some boats leave often making a tour on the Seine showing the main monuments of Paris; you can also book a dinner on the boat. The most famous company is Bateaux Mouches.
I recommend you to visit the Notre-Dame Cathedral in the morning, don't be discouraged by the queue at the entrance because it is very fast! You can visit the interior and, in case you want (and you have the resistance!) to make 378 steps of a spiral staircase, climb the towers to see Paris from the top and the famous gargoyles.
If you are interested in art then I recommend the Musée d'Orsay, famous for its Impressionist masterpieces contained inside and for the fact that it was built in an old train station. But if you prefer contemporary art, you can not miss the Centre Pompidou.
Then for eating a very italian pizza you must go to Pink Mamma: location perfect for an Instagram photo and perfect Neapolitan pizza!

Bacteriophages targeting pathogenic bacteria isolated from lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
Master thesis
MetadataShow full item record
Bacterial diseases in aquaculture lead to reduced health and mortality of fish as well as economic consequences for the producer. Antibiotics are an important antimicrobial to control bacterial diseases, however, concerns regarding the potential development and spread of antibiotic resistance genes are rising globally. Other solutions are considered, as the prophylactic or therapeutic use of bacteriophages, natural occurring viruses that infect and kill bacteria. This study aimed to isolate bacteriophages specific to pathogenic bacteria causing problems in Norwegian aquaculture. Among the bacteria causing disease in lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) farming are Aeromonas salmonicida, Vibrio anguillarum and Pasteurella sp. Pasteurellosis is also an emerging disease in salmon (Salmo salar L.) farming. A collection of these bacteria were used to screen water samples for bacteriophages by using plaque assays. In addition to previously characterized isolates, bacteria from clinically sick salmon and lumpfish were isolated and sequenced by 16s rRNA sequencing. Water samples were collected from the environment and aquaculture sites. Pasteurella sp. was successfully isolated from clinically sick salmon suffering from pasteurellosis. From lumpfish diagnosed with vibriosis, isolation of V.anguillarum was expected, however, 16s rRNA sequencing showed the presence of Photobacterium spp. and Allivibrio logei. Isolation of bacteriophages was challenging, and target bacteriophages were not found in the majority of water samples. However, when samples from an aquaculture site with salmon diagnosed with pasteurellosis was tested, lysed bacteria were observed in plaque assays, indicating the presence of bacteriophages. Successful isolation of these bacteriophages were not achieved, and this posed a question if prophages present in the genome of Pasteurella sp. could have caused the plaques. Bacteriophages specific for V.anguillarum was not isolated, but a previously isolated bacteriophage showed an effect against pathogenic V.anguillarum previously isolated from lumpfish.

Aon streamlines as it retires business brands
Broker Aon, which has a significant presence on Bermuda, has announced that Andrew Matson is to lead its newly created global portfolio broking team within the reinsurance solutions business.
"We have enjoyed considerable success pioneering portfolio solutions on behalf of clients and carriers in recent years and Andrew's appointment reflects both the strong demand and importance that this area of our business commands," said Karl Hennessy, chief executive officer (CEO) of Aon's carrier solutions group.
According to the company Matson will match cedents seeking additional and/or specialist capacity with carriers with a strategic appetite to diversify their current risk profile and gain access to non-correlating risks.
Under Matson's leadership, the team will work alongside Aon's newly formed carrier solutions group, led by Hennessy. Matson will continue to report to reinsurance solutions' UK CEO Nick Frankland.
The global portfolio broking team will deliver insights into carrier portfolio appetite, guidance on creative treaty structures, and access to diverse sources of risk capital.
The global portfolio broking team services Aon's proprietary managing general agents (MGA) and has also assisted third party MGAs to shape multi-line capacity arrangements designed to align the interests of the carrier and MGA, while applying technology and treaty structure.
Frankland commented: "Re/insurer distribution channels and the traditional value chain are becoming increasingly disrupted, and clients are demanding access to a wider range of risk and capital," said Frankland. "The Global Portfolio Broking team has positioned itself to create multi-class, geographically diverse re/insurance solutions that create opportunities across Aon's client base.
"These opportunities can serve to bolster existing capital availability, market relationships and income streams, or provide entirely new opportunities for growth, depending on individual risk appetite. In this way, Global Portfolio Broking is helping to create more robust organisations through optimising capital opportunities for Reinsurance Solutions' clients' books of business."

By John Julian
Over the past couple of weeks a remarkable thing happened in cyberspace. A blog post about international development (yes, international development!) went viral, generating more than two million hits. The piece was written by a young American named Pippa Biddle, and in it she expressed thoughtful criticism of "voluntourism" -- the phenomenon that sees westerners of all age groups, but particularly young people, travelling to the developing world to "help".
The piece is controversial, in part, because she addresses the issue through a lens of race and privilege, but her central thesis is a good one. It is hard to argue with her assessment that anyone who thinks that the best way to build a school in Ghana or to run an orphanage in Tanzania is to bring in a plane load of students from North America is sadly mistaken. Almost as sad are those young people who sincerely believe that they are changing lives and saving the world by sharing their meagre, inadequate skills.
Though I agree with much of what she says, I think Pippa Biddle is missing one essential point. The mature and thoughtful attitude she has developed on this topic is a direct result of the experiences she has had through her volunteer work overseas. Without her fumbling efforts overseas, she would never have gained the wisdom to support development in the south in a way that does not reinforce the systemic imbalance of power and privilege that is so much a part of our well-intentioned efforts to help. If there is fault to be found, it is the failure of the organizations that send young people abroad to properly define the objectives of those visits.
If young people understand that they are visiting the developing world to learn, not to teach; if they can approach their travels with humility, not arrogance; if they believe that the value of their visit is to make contact with and gain understanding of other cultures; and if they grasp the fact that they are able to make these visits because they come from an enormously privileged part of the world where it is possible for a young person to access a plane ticket and travel money, not because they have skills or knowledge that is not readily available in the country they are visiting; then visits or exchanges between young people can be really positive.
CCA micro enterprise development intern Lisa Prince participates enthusiastically in a workshop teaching women to build their own fuel efficient stoves in Northern Uganda.
When it comes to international development, I am an old dog. I have been at it for nearly 30 years and I would like to believe that I have developed wisdom, patience, and a set of realistic expectations as a result of my experience. But those are not always good attributes in international development.
I fully believe that there is a powerful link between youth and our efforts to create a better world. Young people bring passion, creativity, willingness to sacrifice, and even a hopeful naiveté to this work. They bring open hearts, and if properly selected and prepared for international work -- open minds. I know this because I have been responsible for sending more than 175 young people to live and work in the developing world over the past two decades and the results often inspire me and make me proud.
Let's be clear. We do not send high school students on three-week junkets to build schools. Ours is an internship program for young professionals -- recent grads who are carefully selected for specific skills. About half of our participants have masters degrees -- in business, environmental studies, as well as international development -- and the majority already have some experience travelling or living in the developing world. But even with these impressive credentials we try to be clear that they are going overseas not to lead, but to follow -- to work for local supervisors to support the work of locally-owned and managed organizations -- co-operatives and credit unions for the most part.
For the intern, the experience involves a wild mix of triumph, frustration, epiphany and pain. After six months to a year working in the developing world, I have never seen an intern come home completely unchanged. And they take those changes into the next phase of their lives. For some there is a career in international development. Others go into teaching or law, or higher academia. But they take with them a respect for the people they have worked with overseas, and an understanding that we didn't earn the privileges we enjoy -- we just got lucky.
I know that the internship experience benefits the participants. The experience looks good on a resume and it helps them find jobs or get into graduate or professional school. I know it benefits our partners in the south to have extra sets of skilled hands at their disposal. But I also think it benefits all of us as a society to live and work with people who have this hard-won understanding of the tolerance and co-operation that we need to build a better world.
Sadly, our ability to continue to offer these experiences is in jeopardy. For the past 18 years the Canadian government has supported international internships through a program administered by the Canadian International Development Agency -- now the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD). The funding for the program has dried up this year, and there is an ominous silence on the topic from the government side. There has been no official cancellation of the internship program, but neither has there been any action or sign that the program is still alive. As the months pass, it seems clear that we will not see very many young interns in the field next year.
Without this modest funding, we can still send interns abroad, but it could push us back towards the "voluntourism" that Pippa Biddle is so concerned about. Our program is based on merit and a careful match of skills to positions. We don't want to replace that with a system where the primary qualification is the ability to come up with the money.
So, Pippa Biddle, thank you for striking a chord or in some cases hitting a nerve. Done wrong, international work experiences can reinforce the imbalances of power and privilege that are the cause inequity around the world. But done right, they can push us toward a world where understanding breeds tolerance and co-operation.
John Julian is Director of International Communications and Policy at the Canadian Co-operative Association.

Bipartisan Committee Leaders Seek DOE Update on Nuclear Smuggling Deterrence Programs
WASHINGTON, DC – Bipartisan leaders of the Energy and Commerce Committee today sent a letter to Department of Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz seeking further information on the current status of the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Nuclear Smuggling Detection and Deterrence programs (NSDD).
"We write today because recent international developments – particularly the rise of well-funded terror groups and the curtailment of U.S.-Russian cooperation on nuclear material security – have underscored the importance of NNSA's Nuclear Smuggling Detection and Deterrence programs. These developments have prompted us to take a closer look at the status of these programs," wrote the bipartisan leaders. They noted that information reviewed to date has highlighted the importance of maintaining a strong deterrence and detection posture at foreign ports and border crossings, in partnerships with other nations.
The NSDD has spent approximately one billion dollars over the past five years working with 59 partner countries, prompting the leaders to write, "the Committee seeks to increase its understanding of expenditures, technological development, and the progress of international cooperation with the program. Having full information about these matters is necessary to ensure any decisions concerning the course of this program do not inadvertently undermine its important security mission. Given the current threat environment, now is not the time to weaken our detection and interdiction programs overseas."
The letter was signed by:
- Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI);
- Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chairman Tim Murphy (R-PA);
- Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ); and
- Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Ranking Member Diana DeGette (D-CO).

Love automobiles? Jen-Hsun Huang and NVIDIA have been working carefully with Mercedes-Benz to make their new C and E Classes learn from you. The software being developed will mean automobiles will examine and study from drivers habits and implement what they've realized to make predictions. This five day course is accepted by the CPD Review Committee of the SAIMechE. Engineers and technologists registered with ECSA who attend this course full time may claim 5 CPD Credit. Meet Ross Barrow who pursued a career within the automotive business after graduating. He presently works as a Lead Engineer at Jaguar Land Rover.
Hanyang Leadership(HELP: Hanyang Important Management Plus) is the leadership improvement program of Hanyang College that "helps" Hanyang college students to be CEOs. The first step of this program, Worth Leadership(HELP1) is the core course for freshmen. This course consists of 3 parts, "satisfaction in Hanyang", "core values in international society" and "life planning." In "delight in Hanyang", college students will assessment the historical past, values and vision of Hanyang University. In "core values in global society", college students will study 6 core values and instances on the core values of global companies. In "life planning", college students will mirror on their previous and current and develop their vision and mission assertion.
The disciplines work together but the designers to not engineer the automobile and the engineers do not design, say the a fender. They may engineer that fender so it may be stamped and held on the chassis. What the fender appears to be like like is irrelevant to them (for the most half). Their job is to verify it can be made. The place as the designer may spend a month working with the sculptor to make sure the sunshine pools on the surface of that very same fender in simply the precise way. Engineering is about efficiency, meeting costs targets, use of materials, and so on. Design is about art, poetry, beauty and fervour. The motivation for every person is far totally different. Is sensible? Corporations care about where you go college. For designers you'll have a portfolio. They do not care about marks or grades. Just how effectively you'll be able to suppose and the way artistic you are.
Mechanics, automotive engineers, and auto electricians are needed everywhere in the country to service an trade that is rising all the time. Research automotive engineering and you may be taught all about anti-lock braking programs, fuzzy logic, automatic transmissions, engine parameters, security programs, local weather control and in-automobile entertainment. In engineering, you may be assessed principally through group or particular person assignments, practical lab works and exams. The ways of assessing you're similar to how your performance at a company can be assessed: some of them test your means to work in a gaggle and others take a look at your efficiency under pressure. Both method, every sort of assessment has advantages that may prepare you for a career as an engineer.
I used to be in a position to help influence the design of the cooling system of a past vehicle,†she stated of her time as a ridiculously young engineer. In faculty, she tore aside engines in an internal combustion engines class, she visited the EPA's test heart in Ann Arbor and discovered about coast down testing, she took an elective that concerned dismantling a transmission, she realized about different vitality in her coursework, and the record goes on. Apply for employment: After finishing a degree and gaining palms-on experience, you will likely be eligible for entry-level automotive engineer positions. You could be required to complete a training program upon being hired.

Obituary of Rev. Dr. Eugene Purvis, Sr.
Rev. Dr. Eugene Herbert Alexander Purvis, Sr., 97, passed away on February 5, 2021, while holding his beloved wife's hand at the hospital. Rev. Purvis was a loving and humble husband, father, grandfather, and servant of God. He was an easygoing man, with a great sense of humor and wisdom, who could hold long conversations about anything, and was fired up when he spoke and gave sermons about God. He always wore a fedora hat reminiscent of the 1940's, and when he wore his top hat, you knew it was a special occasion. "Blessed Assurance" was his favorite song.
Rev. Purvis was born on June 18, 1923, and lived on a farm in Salters, South Carolina. He was the son of Rev. Dottie Alexander Purvis and Annie Bradley Purvis. He was the oldest of 18 children, five of whom died at birth. He graduated from Tomlinson High School in Kingstree, SC.
As a young man, Rev. Purvis joined the military during World War II, serving in the 20th Army Air Force, 435th Aviation Squadron, a unit of African American soldiers, in the South Pacific Ocean Theater. He was an Aerial Gunner and handled bombs for the Boeing B-29 Superfortress. Rev. Purvis survived an aerial assault of Japanese bomber planes on the island of Saipan, by diving into his foxhole, and lost many friends.
After serving from 1943 to 1946, Rev. Purvis received an honorable discharge, and moved to New York in 1946. He attended New York University for Arts and Science, and the New York Theological Seminary to pursue studies in Christian Ministry. He worked as an optician at Sterling Optical, in Manhattan, NY, and later became an Examiner on the NY State Board of Opticians.
While working in New York City in the 1970's, Rev. Purvis fell in love with his new co-worker, Sylvia Sangle, another optician who had immigrated to the U.S., from the Philippines. During a time when interracial marriages were rare, and at age 50, Rev. Purvis married Sylvia. They were married for 47 years and had three sons.
Rev. Purvis loved serving God in the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Zion Church for over 50 years, and never officially retired. In 1968, he became an ordained Elder. Rev. Purvis pastored several churches, including Lakeville AME Zion (1970-1980), in Manhassett, NY; Naomi Temple AME Zion (1980-1992), in Roosevelt, NY; Williamsburg AME Zion (1992-1994), in Brooklyn, NY; and Shaw Temple AME Zion (1994-2003), in Amityville, NY. His accomplishments at each church are too many to mention, but include church building improvements.
In 1992, Rev. Purvis and his wife moved to their dream home in Freeport, NY. They also owned and operated the Children's World Montessori School, in Freeport, NY, for over 30 years, starting in the 1980's, for students in grades Pre-K to third grade.
As a testament of God's power, in 2002, at the age of 79, Rev. Purvis miraculously survived an open-heart surgery, where doctors had given him a two percent chance to live. Due to his medical condition, Rev. Purvis also received amputations in both legs. After rigorous physical therapy, he used prosthetics and a cane to continue standing up to preach the Word of God, as an inspirational guest preacher, at many churches over the next 17 years. Rev. Purvis continued to proudly participate in meetings of the AME Zion Church New York Conference (where he was the oldest minister at age 96), the Long Island Council of Churches, and Freeport Cares, as well as manage the Montessori school.
In 2019, at age 96, Rev. Purvis was invited to preach what would be his last sermon, at the Williams Chapel AME Church, in South Carolina, the home church of his brother, William Purvis. Also, in 2019, Rev. Purvis was honored by all the churches he pastored, with a birthday celebration, coordinated by Sister Claretha Smith, and under the leadership of Rev. Keith Harris, Presiding Elder of the AME Zion Church Long Island District.
In 2020, Rev. Purvis became well known in his community, after receiving recognition for his 97th birthday and his service in World War II, with interviews by NY news media. Over the years, family members, such as Sylvia's sister (Aida Wilms) and nieces (Glenda and Cindy Nelson), as well as Bill Tetreault and Doug Green, and countless other individual volunteers and organizations, assisted Rev. Purvis and Sylvia with donations, home repairs, and healthcare needs, including, but not limited to, the AME Zion Church, Freeport Cares, the Salvation Army, the United Way, Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, Catholic Charities, Promise of Hope, Island Harvest, Rebuilding Together, All Boro, and the Village of Freeport government.
Rev. Purvis received so many recognitions during his life, and some include: recognition for his 96th birthday by Bishop Dennis V. Proctor (North Eastern Episcopal District, AME Zion Church); citations from the Freeport Mayor and the New York State Assembly, in honor of his 97th birthday; Life-Time Achievement Award, Long Island Council of Churches (2017).
Rev. Purvis is survived by his wife, Dr. Sylvia Purvis; his three sons, Eugene, Jr. (Valerie), Alexius (Saadia), and David (Shavette); six grandchildren, Kaitlyn, Daniel, Makayla, Maliya, David, Jr., and Danielle; one brother, William A. (Ann) Purvis of Columbia, SC; six sisters, Ann P. (Jaswant) Sihra of Salters, SC, Leola Diane (Howard) Gore of Columbia, SC, Claudia P. (Harold) Nelson of Tamms, Illinois, Lucille P. (Clyde) Burgess of Denver, Colorado, Emma P. (Ron) Furgerson of Columbia, SC, Dottie P. (McNeil) Evans of Andrews, SC.; including his parents, he was preceded in death by three sisters and two brothers, Ruth P. Henry and Peggie Cameron of Philadelphia, PA and Ethel P. Stokes of Savannah, Ga., Thomas Alexander Purvis of St. Petersburg, FL and John Daniel Purvis of Clarksville, TN; and a host of sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.

Today is Daddy's 58th Father's Day. I know because I have been around for every one of them. I have spent most of my life working along side my Daddy. Here is proof. I learned the auto body trade very young.
Through the years some of the things that I have learned from my Daddy are the importance of having God in your life, and how to work. Here are some photos of Daddy working through the years.
Happy Daddy's day. Some people have fathers, but I have always had a Daddy.
