This winter has been a challenging one for everyone; whether it’s the treacherous commutes or never-ending “snow days”, it can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Instead of focusing on how many more cold days lie ahead, try embracing the season for all that it has to offer. Skating is a truly Canadian activity but many of us haven’t laced up our skates since we were kids. Ottawa has many great ways to enjoy this winter sport in the great outdoors so get out and enjoy winter while it lasts.
The Rideau Canal
Ottawa’s most famous skating rink (and possibly most famous landmark), the Rideau Canal is the world’s largest skating rink. Running from the Mackenzie King Bridge to Dow’s Lake, this 7.8km skateway weaves its way through the city and is completely free to use. The canal is open from January to late February or early March (depends on the weather) and there are many great events that take place during that time, most notably Winterlude which is on now.
Rink of Dreams
Located on the front lawn of Ottawa City Hall, the Rink of Dreams is open 7 days a week from 6:00am to 11:00pm and is also free to use. This rink is a refrigerated ice surface that is maintained to allow for indoor arena quality ice in the great outdoors. If you don’t have skates, or forgot them at home, not to worry, there are rentals available on site.
Ben Franklin Place Skating Rink
If you live in the west end, you will have to check out the rink at Ben Franklin Place (the old City of Nepean City Hall). In the winter, the large water feature on Centrepointe Drive is transformed into a beautiful skating rink. Like the Rink of Dreams, this rink is maintained by a zamboni and is always in great condition! The heated changing facility is open from 11:00am to 8:00pm daily so no need to freeze your fingers as you lace up.
Local Outdoor Rinks
The City of Ottawa is host to over 250 outdoor rinks (ODRs) that are located in parks all over the city. These rinks are maintained and run primarily by volunteers in the community and provide a great place to go and skate or play hockey. Some have heated facilities to get ready in and schedules for different activities. For more information (including ice conditions), you can check out ottawarinks.ca.
Be Safe and Have Fun
Whether you are landing that triple axel, scoring the winning goal, or just hoping to stay on your feet, make sure that you are doing it safely. Children should always wear helmets while skating and adults are also encouraged to do the same.

Comparison of injection techniques for shoulder pain: results of a double blind, randomised study.
Hollingworth GR,Ellis RM,Hattersley TS
Br Med J (Clin Res Ed) 1983 Nov 5 287:6402 1339-41
Seventy seven patients with soft tissue shoulder lesions including adhesive capsulitis and disorders of the rotator cuff and acromioclavicular joint were admitted to a trial comparing two different methods of corticosteroid injection with local anaesthetic in a randomly allocated double blind study. The method of anatomical injection after diagnosis by the technique of selective tissue tension gave 60% success compared with the method using tender or trigger point localisation, giving 20% success (p less than 0.001).

I posted my a few o my projects already on the forum (First projects on RAY).
So I decided to share the svg’s for the Honeycomb necklace/earrings set.
I still need to work on kerf. if you zoom in closely you could see the round edge on the other side of the acrylic insert. Also, the insert could pretty much be a bit bigger for better fit but that’s for version No. 2

Ex-state GOP chair gets ‘blue’ support
Former NYC police commissioner endorses Timken in Senate race
BOARDMAN — Jane Timken and Bernie Kerik came to the Mahoning County GOP Headquarters Saturday for an event that was part “Back the Blue” rally and part campaign stop.
Timken, who is running for the Republican nomination to succeed Rob Portman, R-Ohio, in the U.S. Senate, and Bernie Kerik, who was police commissioner in New York City when the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks occurred, both spoke out in support of law enforcement.
“I’m standing up to be your next senator because under my leadership we’re going to hold criminals accountable for their crimes and hold up police officers as our heroes,” Timken told the audience.
“Cops go out everyday, put their lives on the line for people they don’t know,” Kerik said,
Out of the 400 first responders who died in the 2001 attack, 23 worked for Kerik.
“Cops went into Tower One even after Tower Two imploded,” he said. “They knew what could happen, and they didn’t care and they didn’t stop. They continued moving forward.”
About 80 people filled the headquarters for the event, including several current and former law enforcement officers.
After getting his photo taken with Kerik and Timken, Mahoning County Sheriff’s Deputy Joe Hamilton said, “I had to come support the commissioner, show respect.”
The crowd applauded frequently while Timken and Kerik spoke, cheered when former President Donald Trump was mentioned and booed current President Joe Biden and U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Howland, who is the likely Democratic nominee for Portman’s seat.
Kerik said he was endorsing Timken in the crowded Republican field — which also includes former state treasurer Josh Mandel, businessman Bernie Moreno, investment banker Mike Gibbons and “Hillbilly Elegy” author J.D. Vance — because of her support for Trump. Before leaving office, Trump pardoned Kerik, who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of receiving $165,000 in free renovations from a company seeking a city license and eight federal charges of tax fraud and making false statements.
“In the beginning nobody wanted to go near him (Trump) in Ohio, they wanted nothing to do with him,” Kerik said. “Some of them are running for United States Senate. Only one person stood out and said, ‘I’m endorsing him. I’m going to fight for him and make sure he wins,’ and that’s Jane Timken. I know all the players in the race, and there’s only one I would endorse.”
Before the public event, Timken said her experience as chair of the Ohio Republican Party gives her an advantage over the other Republican challengers for Portman’s seat.
“I know how to win Ohio. I am the only grassroots, ground-game, America-first candidate,” she said. “With President Trump and the rest of the Republican ticket in 2018 and 2020, we set record numbers of door knocks and phone calls to turn out the vote.”
She said she’s the only candidate with campaign chairs in all 88 Ohio counties, and she also has campaign donors from each county with 85 percent of her funds raised in state.
“As I travel around the state, more and more people are showing up at events like this. It feels a lot like 2010. People are upset with what’s happening in this country,” she said, listing such issues as immigration, rising gas prices, the economy and the current turmoil in Afghanistan. “I expect a lot of independents and some right-leaning Democrats to come home to the Republican Party.”

It's difficult to tell that Minnehaha Creek is nearby in some parts of St. Louis Park and Hopkins.
Unlike south Minneapolis, where the creek is visible and surrounded by parkland, grand trees and paved trails, the creek's suburban pathway was changed and hidden away by development.
Roads, buildings, loading docks and parking lots were pushed to the edge of the creek, which in some cases was even rerouted or straightened to make room during the post-World War II heyday of commercial and industrial construction.
"That's why it's so straight through this area," said Mike Hayman, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District assistant planner, on a recent walking tour of the creek. "Its profile is like a ditch, rather than what the creek was naturally."
Now, the creek is about to be restored to its more natural route. Crews are gearing up to redirect water through a series of curves, reconnect wetlands, enhance wildlife habitat, and build trails and canoe landings.
The project, led by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, is the latest phase in upgrading the creek's water quality, visual appeal and public access.
"For too long, we've kind of turned our back to the creek," said St. Louis Park City Manager Tom Harmening. But public attitudes have changed, he said, and people have rediscovered the importance of streams and rivers. "There's real value to those natural amenities and we should turn towards them," he said.
Help from history
Hayman hiked in the mostly dry creekbed where the sand revealed an occasional clamshell, half-buried tire and even a rusty shopping cart. Every few hundred feet, a plastic, metal or concrete storm drainage pipe jutted out of the banks.
Hayman said the district will spend about $1.1 million to restore 3,000 feet of the creek between Louisiana Avenue and Meadowbrook Road. He and others have studied the topography and aerial photographs from the 1940s and '50s to learn how the creek flowed.
This winter crews will excavate several areas and rechannel the water into a series of lazy curves that mimic its historic route, Hayman said. In the process, they will slow down the flow and increase the creek's length by 1,600 feet. The changes will reduce erosion and sediment, he said, and create pools and riffles that will benefit fish and other wildlife.
Restoring the natural curves, known as re-meandering, also will reconnect the creek to wetlands in the corridor, Hayman said. Moving the channel away from the storm water pipes will allow those wetlands to filter out runoff pollutants from nearby streets, rooftops and parking lots before the drainage reaches the creek, he said.
"Whatever we can do to slow down the runoff, reduce the amount of runoff, clean the runoff, is going to benefit the water for us to enjoy downstream in our lakes and streams," said district spokeswoman Telly Mamayek.
The district received $300,000 for the project from a Clean Water Legacy Grant, she said, and will fund the remaining $800,000 from its budget.
The 22-mile creek flows from Lake Minnetonka through the cities of Minnetonka and Hopkins to St. Louis Park, and from there through Edina and south Minneapolis to the Mississippi River. The upcoming work will match a stretch of the creek just downstream near Methodist Hospital that was re-meandered and restored in 2008-09.
St. Louis Park has a role
Harmening said St. Louis Park is excited about the upcoming improvement, and is coordinating with the district to install a new trail along the creek and a bridge at the same time the creek is being rerouted.
"Our share of that is about $500,000," Harmening said, and there has been strong public support for closer access to the creek.
"I'm feeling more and more confident that we're going to be able to make that happen," he said.

The children just keep coming, and for Lake County taxpayers, that means another round of school-related referendum issues on the April election ballot.
Across the region, voters will be asked to approve seven ballot initiatives to support the education of a growing number of youngsters, especially at the elementary school level.
"Most of the referendums are caused by the growth that we're continuing to experience in the county," said Lake County Regional School Supt. Edward Gonwa. "As long as new housing developments continue, it's going to impact the schools."
The effect of of a growing school-age population is especially acute in Vernon Hills, where Hawthorn School District 73 has an $11.5 million bond authorization referendum proposal on the April 1 ballot.
The elementary school district serves 3,100 pupils from Vernon Hills and parts of Mundelein and Libertyville. And with a 2,100-housing development opening on the former Cuneo Estate in Vernon Hills, the district is projecting a student enrollment of 4,500 within 10 years.
"We're doing OK now, but we're thinking long term," said Supt. Youssef Yomtoob, adding that a new school building will be needed by 2000 to handle the new pupils.
To make the referendum issue palatable to a tax-weary public, district officials are emphasizing the proposal would not necessitate a tax increase.
"We are promising we will not raise the tax rate," Yomtoob said, predicting the district's increasing equalized assessed valuation would allow the bonds to be issued without a tax increase.
Gurnee District 56 officials are making a similar no-tax-increase pledge in their effort to win approval of a $23 million bond issue to renovate Viking Junior High School and Spaulding School.
The renovation would come as Gurnee continues expanding Warren Township High School and Woodland Elementary School as a result of two referendum proposals recently approved by voters.
Gurnee voters also are being asked to approve a $15 million Park District bond issue to build a new recreational facility on 43 acres near Hunt Club Road.
Lake Forest Hospital and a residential developer also are expected to be partners in the project.
The proposal would cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $60 more a year, which supporters, such as Gurnee Mayor Richard Welton, believe is a steal.
"If you belonged to a private health club or swimming club, you'd have to pay a lot more than that," Welton said, noting Gurnee residents also will be offered discounts to use the public facility.
Welton credited Gurnee's growing business community with making a referendum issue on a health facility possible.
"Every referendum is a challenge because it does cost money, but the fact that the community's growth is largely left to occur in the commercial and office park areas means businesses will be picking up an increasingly large amount of the property taxes, and that's a plus," Welton said.
Separately, Welton is unchallenged in his April re-election bid for a seventh term as mayor.
Elsewhere in Lake County, the tax bite for expanded schools could sting a bit more.
In North Shore Elementary School District 112, for instance, a $40 million referendum proposal to build a new school in Highwood and expand and renovate buildings would cost the owner of a $150,000 home about $100 more a year in taxes.
The referendum issue comes as the district prepares for a 14 percent rise in enrollment by 2001 primarily because of the conversion of the Ft. Sheridan Army base into a private residential community.
And in Grade School District 114 in Fox Lake, the owner of a $100,000 home would pay about $100 more annually if a referendum issue aimed at reducing class size and adding new teaching tools is approved.

For example, 100 tons of pure limestone that is by weight 70 calcite and 30 dolomite could be processed to yield 86.28 tons calcium carbonate and 13.72 tons magnesium carbonate, or 63.87 tons calcium hydroxide (formula Ca(OH)2) and 9.49 tons magnesium hydroxide (formula Mg(OH)2), or 48.34 tons calcium oxide (formula CaO) and 6.56 tons.
Limestone is an alkaline agent with the ability to neutralize, or partially neutralize strong acids. The neutralization process occurs when strong acids, in intimate contact with limestone chips, react with Calcium Carbonate (CaCO 3, the primary constituent of limestone) to form water, carbon dioxide, and calcium salts. The following depicts.
Limestone is a material of national importance, and resource sterilization can result in a longer haul at a higher cost from quarry to customer. Limestone Production Patterns.

Uses Applications for limestone include agriculture, garden lime, lake and wetland liming, as well as the production of paper, paint, asphalt, bricks, concrete and metals.
Williams Patent Crusher is committed to designing and manufacturing the most durable and efficient limestone crusher machines on the market. We’ve held that commitment for over 150 years. Additionally, since the mid-1980s, we’ve developed extensive experience in Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) technology and our limestone mills have proven.

Limestone has many other uses. Powdered limestone is used as a filler in paper, paint, rubber, and plastics. Crushed limestone is used as a filter stone in on-site sewage disposal systems. Powdered limestone is also used as a sorbent (a substance that absorbs pollutants) at many coal-burning facilities. Limestone is not found everywhere.
Aug 15, 2018 Crushed limestone overview. Most limestone is crushed in various sizes, ranging from a half of an inch to two inches. Common gravel sizes you will see can include 8, 57, 4, 1 2, 411 and 304. Limestone can either be screened or non-screened. If the limestone you purchased has been screened, this means that it has had all the foreign substances.
Size is an area where gravel and limestone diverge because limestone is a single-source product. This means limestone can be bought in everything from crushed limestone, which contains small stones of varying sizes, all the way up to large-cut flat pavers that are 24 inches by 36 inches.
May 18, 2017 The material was fed to the crusher at a rate which would either utilize the total horsepower available or fill the crusher cavity. Normally, the horsepower was the limiting factor with the (6.35mm) and 3 8 inch (9.53mm) settings while the cavity capacity was the limiting factor at closed side settings above the 3 8 inch (9.53mm) value.
Limestone aggregate is also used in road and railroad construction. Other Uses of Limestone. Crushed limestone is used as a filter stone in on-site sewage disposal systems. Limestone in powdered form is also used as a substance to absorb pollutants or control coal mine dust at many coal-mining facilities.

Should boys and girls be in separate classes
Should boys and girls be in separate classes? What do you think about?
Everyone will answer this differently. Your answer would be based on how you are grown up, who thought you and how your childhood was spent. Let’s see was physiology says- according to psychological studies when students were in separate classes they were more focused and more concerned about their studies. And when they (Boys and Girls) were in same classes instead of being fully focused on studies their mind was diverting towards opposite gender. It’s not their fault; hormonal changes in teenager’s body force them to do that.
There are many schools all over the country there are separate classroom even separate building for girls and boys. Students of these schools are intelligent but they are also very shy. They don’t want to communicate, they want to talk to anyone, and they don’t have friendship and team management skills.
By not separating, promotes friendship among boys and girls. It develops communication and working together skills in them. It develops more interaction and teamwork in them, which good for their carrier. In today’s world, every field requires both male and female candidates and they have to work together. It is not the time when girls were unsafe and not allowed to go out. We live in a modern Era, where everyone has equal rights; anyone can do anything he/she wants. There are no gender boundations.
So, I think the answer of the question should be “No”. Girls are Boys can study and they should study in the same classroom for their proper development.
But still it depends on individual students. Everyone has a different mindset and everyone react to situations differently. So it is too difficult to declare the correct answer on the topic.

|Minimum Stay||3 - 5 nights|
Thank you for taking a look at the Woodruff Family Condo! We offer a beautiful, spacious and light-filled 3-bedroom, 3.5 bath condominium which sleeps up to 9 people. Completely remodeled in 2009, the condo is finished in a modern international style with rich chestnut leather furniture and stunning black and white nature photography by Utah’s James Kay. (ps: see bottom of this narrative for chronological price schedule)
The condo faces out onto a public golf course (X-C track in winter)and has a spectacular view of the mountains. It functions as a great vacation spot year round, with amenities typically found in five star resorts. The fully equipped gourmet kitchen, with granite countertops and custom cabinets, has a large island with barstools at one end, perfect for socializing and entertaining. A beautiful alderwood dining table expands to seat as many as 12 people.
Two living areas, one with a sleeper sofa, allow for multiple activities, and both are equipped with TV’s. Each of the three separate bedroom suites has its own private bath, plus there is a luxurious powder room off the kitchen. Two of the bedrooms have king-sized beds, while the third bedroom has a raised platform where two twins can be made up separately or together into a king.
Upstairs in the hallway is a bench seat and storage unit which functions as our 'Bachelor Pad.' This sleeping area features a light, a niche, and a power socket at each end of a comfortable cushion measuring nearly 10' by 3' with a storage space below for one's suitcase. This is perfect for a big guy (really big) in a sleeping bag or two kids sleeping feet-to-feet. We have linens to make this up like a regular bed if that is your preference.
Other amenities include limestone radiant heat floors, water softener, 46” HDTV with blueray and HD cable, ipod docking station and surround sound, woodburning fireplace, wireless & hardwire internet, king Tempurpedic bed in master, euro bath fixtures, large walk-in double shower in master bath, designer furniture, and a large washer/dryer. Condo complex offers a 40' outdoor heated pool, two large hot-tubs, and separate sauna, shower & locker rooms for men & women.
If you want lodging for the Sundance Film Festival, Robert Redford's work of genius, then look no further!! Our condo presents a beautiful and quiet backdrop for artists from the film industry and professionals from related industries to conduct business, entertain, ski, relax, and otherwise enjoy the FilmFest.
Our location is ideal: if you are walking, it's 60 seconds to the bus-stop or the pool and hot-tub complex. We're right across the street from Albertson's grocery store, a drugstore, a Blockbuster, a Starbucks, a massage place and a two or three ski rental stores. By car, we're a couple minutes from the base plaza of the Park City Mountain Resort, five minutes from Deer Valley's base plaza, and maybe eight minutes from The Canyons. You can ski home from the Park City Mountain Resort if you're willing to take your skis off to cross a road and skate & pole home via the golf course and its cross-country ski track.
If you like to ski, check this out: our latest addition is the dream solution for folks who go nuts when 'those other guys' leave their wet jackets and ski accessories laying all over the place!
This amenity is a custom staging center designed to store, dry, and otherwise manage all the stuff that eight skiers need for skiing!! Whether you're gearing up in the morning, shedding wet stuff after a big day, welcoming a bunch of guests, or anything in between, this staging center handles it all. It's convenient, inviting, easy to use and super effective.
There's eight of everything: ventilated baskets (each with a chalk-board nameplate) stored overhead & out of the way; 'staghorn' hooks each featuring three separate hooks, and a forced-air drying system (with auto-shutoff) for 8 pairs of boots and gloves.
There's also a convenient little shelf for emptying your hands, a place to stash empty equipment bags, a nook for safely handling your wet skis or board, and a bar if you prefer to use a coat hanger. Plus, when you expand the dining table to seat 12, the benches are designed and sized to pull out and provide seating for two at each end of the table. Check out the picture!
Thank you for taking a look at the Woodruff Family Condo! We are pleased with it and very happy to offer it up for your enjoyment. Please write or call. We would love to have you as our guest!
PS: Well, if you've read this far, it means you're interested enough to learn some of the particulars of our rental scheme. Here goes: The nightly rental rates stated below do not include State Taxes of 10.45% or our cleaning fee of $170-$275 (depends on the length of visit and the number of people in your party); these are added in to get an all-in cost. We also ask our visitors to sign a rental agreement and post a damage deposit which is returned after your visit. This deposit can amount to nearly half of the total base rental fee but not less than $800.
Mike purchased this condo in 1975
"The Woodruff Family Condo", as referred to on the lease, is the most epic, comfy, and well equipped property my family has rented since we began spending the Christmas/New Year season in Park City skiing with our 3 girls six years ago. We have so enjoyed our holiday celebration here the last 2 years. Yes it is a condo, but it feels like home! I'm a clean freak and the condo is sparkly clean upon arrival;) The beds are comfy, the bathrooms are always well stocked, but my very favorite place is the kitchen! If you like to cook like we do this is the condo for you and your family! Imagine your families very favorite meal, whether it requires 1 pan or 10, the condo has it! The living/family rooms are very large and comfy and provide a great place for family game nights and movies, of course in front of the amazing fireplace. The view from the living room out to the golf course is spectacular! If you like to walk its a great place to take long walks in the snow. Now let's talk location...the grocery store, liquor store, drug store, sporting goods stores, movie theater and many restaurants are in walking distance..maybe 2-5 minutes as well as the Park City Mountain Resort!!! and it's many shops, eateries, and yes skiing! Need I say our family is looking forward to returning in December!
My family and I stayed in this upscale, very comfortable, meticulously cared for and thoughtfully appointed condo townhouse in early March 2016 for 5 days of skiing. It was a good choice and more enjoyable than if we had dumped thousands of dollars per night on an upscale hotel. All furnishings and equipment in tiptop condition. The decor, kitchen (more than fully equipped), bathrooms, bedrooms and ambiance all first rate. Location is excellent with shopping for food, liquor, drug stores/pharmacy items, etc. within easy walking distance. Car totally unnecessary. Bus access to Park City Skiing and Main Street in minutes. Ownership very responsive.
I would prefer not to stay anywhere else in Park City after staying here! We caught the tail end of the aspen tree leaves changing and the crisp fall climate was amazing. Within walking distance: grocery store, drug store, Starbuck's...just to name a few. Condo: extremely comfortable and excellent use of overall space- lots of skylights for natural light. If you like to cook you will love the kitchen. If cooking is not your passion you will love the aesthetics of this well equipped kitchen. Patio view of golf course is nice anytime, but especially enjoyed it with morning coffee and afternoon wine. We saw a moose on the golf course one morning!!
Activities we enjoyed on our visit: Park City Golf Course (where condo is located) and Wasatch Mountain State Park Gold Course - Mountain Course (had to stop for deer on golf paths. Chipmunks and wild turkeys were everywhere!), Olympic Park, fly fishing, Historic Main Street (shops and restaurants), hiking. Did not have time to play all the golf courses nor eat at all of the restaurants we would have liked to. Would love to experience each season here.
We are very familiar with Deer Valley and Park City and this is one of the nicest places we've stayed, and we have many friends with vacation homes in the area. We'd rather rent this home when we visit than own a place.
We've stayed here a couple times (winter and summer) and have enjoyed every visit. The home is amazing - luxury with function. Like granite counter tops and top of the line kitchen appliances. No complaints about anything - well stocked, clean, owner is very helpful and familiar with the area.
The rooms are comfortable and have lots of storage space. Two main bedrooms are large enough for a couple to spread their gear and be very comfortable. Loft is great for kids and young adults.
Very short walk to a bus stop and just across street from grocery shopping - definitely walking distance. If the snow is deep enough you can ski to back door of home, just have to ski across golf course which is the best thing I've ever done on a golf course...
Two separate TV areas, plus TV in master allow for great separation between adults and kids.
Designed for big family gatherings, from physical layout to appliances and furniture.
We typically don't even rent a car in wintertime - between the places we walk to and the free bus system, there's really no reason to hassle with it. Outside storage and entry perfect for dressing and undressing for skiing. Then hit the heated floors...perfect.
Starbucks, massage, drug store, movies, two sports equipment retailers, heated pool and jacuzzi - all easy walks.
You won't be disappointed staying here, regardless of season.
Spent a week in this wonderful condo; everything any one would want or need was available. Comfort everywhere; including marvelous view of mountains (and the golf course). Particularly enjoyed sitting on the patio during sunset - marvelous. Very convenient to town, restaurants, events, shopping; all of which we did. I would highly recommend this Condo for a very pleasant and "cozy" vacation. It must be beautiful in winter with snow everywhere - hopefully will be able to return and enjoy the winter. However, it was equally beautiful in late summer - so a great place to visit anytime.
We spent the Christmas holidays (over a week) having a family reunion here, on our first ever trip to Park City. The condo was as spotless and beautiful as the pictures! The owner was easy to work with and took great responsiblity in accomodating our needs. Our group had no problem being together, as well as being in our own spaces without bothering each other with noise or activities. The kitchen was beautiful and well appointed. The boot drying station and the radiant heat in the floors were such a wonderful bonus. The location was perfectly convenient to the bus line (we didn't rent a car), and we were able to ski at our own paces at PCM and DV without the hassles of organizing group transportation. Being right across the street from Fresh Market grocery store as well as a great massage location, Knead a Massage, were also so convenient. This place is a true gem!

Illuminating Humanities: Sonia Hernández
Highlighting Humanities Research and its Impact
Sonia Hernández | Department of History
by Megan Bodily
The Glasscock Center is excited to continue this series that highlights humanities research at Texas A&M, as well as the vital role played by the humanities beyond the academy.
For this highlight, we invite Dr. Sonia Hernández to tell us about how the Glasscock Center has supported her work over the last several years, including two conferences.
Dr. Sonia Hernández is a Professor in the Department of History and affiliated faculty with Women’s & Gender Studies and Latino/a & Mexican American Studies. She focuses on the intersections of gender and labor in the US-Mexican Borderlands, Chicana/o history, and Modern Mexico. Dr. Hernández recently learned of her receipt of a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Award for Faculty at Hispanic-Serving Institutions to support her current research project, “Revisiting Cortez: Gender, State Violence, and the Forging of (Un)Likely Transnational Alliances.” Her most recent publication, “Gendering Transnational State Violence: Intertwined Histories of Intrigue and Injustice along the U.S.-Mexican Borderlands, 1900–1913”, examines the violence along the borderlands through the experiences of two Mexican-origin women: Leonor Díaz, arrested in 1901 in Texas, and Asención Paz, arrested in 1910 in Mexico.
As a publicly engaged historian, Dr. Hernández pursues traditional academic scholarship channels like publications but places equal value on non-traditional academic pursuits, such as curating museum exhibits and organizing conferences that reach non-academic audiences.
Dr. Hernández received a Symposium and Small Conference Grant from the Glasscock Center to support a conference she co-organized with John Morán González, a Professor in the Department of English at The University of Texas at Austin, called “Reverberations of Racial Violence.” The conference, which took place at the Bob Bullock State Museum in Austin, Texas, from January 31 to February 1, 2019, commemorated the 100th anniversary of the first state-led probe into the Texas Rangers’ abuse of power. José Tomas “J.T.” Canales, the lone Mexican American State legislator at the time, initiated and led the 1919 investigation. The Texas State Senate adopted Senate Resolution No. 87 on January 29, 2019, which publicly acknowledged the conference. Dr. Hernández says that this resolution, important because of its recognition of the impact of the Canales investigation, also inscribed the conference into the archives, saying that it will “forever be on record.”
“I am forever thankful to the Glasscock Center for their support for such a wonderful conference because it was so meaningful,” Dr. Hernández says. “We wanted to reflect upon this moment [the Canales investigation] as a learning opportunity and as a moment that really ushered in Mexican-American Civil Rights.”
Dr. Hernández received support from the Glasscock Center to organize a second conference called “Shared Histories in the Borderlands/Historias Compartidas en Espacios Fronterizos,” which was held from November 16 to 17, 2022, at Texas A&M University. The bilingual conference focused on borderlands’ history and brought together scholars from Northern Mexico and Texas to talk about border issues from an interdisciplinary perspective.
Both conferences pursued broadening scholarship beyond the current discourse by encouraging reflection and engagement across disciplines and nations.
“It’s (conference) never an endpoint, it’s an ongoing conversation; I can’t emphasize this enough, but the Glasscock Center made it all possible,” Dr. Hernández says.
Dr. Hernández’s work is integral to the growing focus on Mexican origin, working-class women along the US-Mexico border from a transnational perspective. She is currently researching the near-lynching of Gregorio Cortez, a Mexican migrant cowboy, in 1901 in Central Texas who shot a white sheriff in self-defense. She revists this incident to understand how it affected Cortez’s first wife, Leonor Díaz de Cortez, who was unlawfully held with her four children in a Texas jail while her husband evaded capture (and even after his apprehension). By approaching the near lynching through the lenses of gender and transnationalism, Dr. Hernández highlights histories often left uncovered in popular narratives.
“For many years, for decades, the historiography [of the border] was pretty one sided—it was very male centric and also was heavily focused on [the U.S.] side of the border…[border scholars from both the US and Mexico] were hardly in conversation with one another,” she says.
Dr. Hernández’s research centers on the role of the State, in all its manifestations, and its complicity in encouraging or enacting violence. She emphasizes the role of checks and balances and their relationship to the abuse of power and the importance of talking about those abuses. “When we talk about history and the relevancy of it, one of the uses of history is how it helps us understand our present,” she says.
Additionally, Dr. Hernández is a co-founder of the award-winning public history project and nonprofit organization, Refusing to Forget, which aims at bringing public awareness to the state-sanctioned violence directed at ethnic Mexicans living on the Texas-Mexico border between 1910–1920. The website provides information and resources for learning about the violence navigated by the Mexican-American community during that time period. It also promotes a history of the Mexican-American community as resilient—it was not a community standing idle. An exhibition curated by Refusing to Forget titled “Life and Death on the Border 1910–1920” is currently traveling to different cities across Texas.
“I can’t emphasize enough the crucial role that [the Glasscock Center] has had in my research,” Dr. Hernández says. “The support of the Glasscock Center and the opportunities it offers, especially during a time when humanities has been under assault, can be career changing and can have a real impact on the discipline.”

The way he went about it confused some 90 Day fans, as Josh says he is heading to Las Vegas to see Yolanda. But, he showed off the ring before popping the question in person, which has left some of the stars fans questioning if Josh was for real.
While some have directly asked Josh why he ‘spoiled the surprise’ he had this to say to fans.

With our eyes we see the beauty of the mountains, coves, and valleys of our Black Mountain and the meandering Swannanoa River. We hear cold rustling winds in the winter and refreshing cool breezes in the summer. We smell the crispness of the mountain snows and sweet clean air after a summer rain. Indeed, Black Mountain was and is a healing place for the body and a spiritual place for the soul.
Mind, Body and Spirit
With the advent of the railroad in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, our western mountains were a mecca for restorative health. Our coveted climate drew people from all over the United States (including George Vanderbilt, a sickly child who came to Western North Carolina with his mother and, as an adult, built his estate in Asheville.) Sanatoriums sprang up for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB), a lung disease often called consumption. Small sanatoriums were built first. In 1911, Craigmont Sanatorium was established by IJ Archer. Later, the Bellmont Park Sanatorium treated TB, alcoholism, and mental conditions. The largest sanatorium was in WNC Sanatorium that operated the first three decades of the 20th century. The development of penicillin brought a cure to TB in the middle of the 20th century, but the sanatorium continued to serve victims of Alzheimer’s disease and drug and alcohol addictions.
In addition to physical healing, many flocked to our mountains for spiritual healing. Black Mountain was the ideal location to establish Christian religious retreats. In 1897 Montreat Assembly was built first. A group of businessmen purchased 4,000 acres north of Black Mountain. It was first ecumenical in nature but was later bought by the Southern Presbyterian Church.
Today, Montreat College is situated on picturesque Lake Susan, named for generations of Susans in the Allen Graham family. Another retreat is Ridgecrest Assembly. Affiliated with the North Carolina Baptist Convention, it was dubbed “Mountain of Faith,” and it held its first assembly in 1908. Pritchard Hall, the largest white structure, built in the 1950’s, is visible from the crest of Ridgecrest Mountain on I-40. More recently, Billy Graham’s Training Center, The Cove at the western end of the Swannanoa Valley, was designed to “encourage, refresh, and empower believers who want to grow and deepen their faith.” Named after the late world-renowned evangelist Dr. Billy Graham, the Cove offers a plethora of Bible studies and retreats.
Growing at a Healthy Pace
In the Black Mountain tradition, Sure Point Builders and its staff honor the well-being of its Tudor Croft residents. They construct clean, healthy, and safe homes that allow spiritual restoration for those who live here. From Tudor Croft we can see the Ridgecrest Cross that brings a feeling of peace to many of our residents and visitors.
Settlers who came to our mountains early on, the tourists and patients who came later, and those who continue to come all can take in the physical and metaphysical qualities that abound here. This is truly a “Magic Mountain.”

It’s no more news that Georgina Onuoha and Kemi Olunloyo are renowned enemies following the whole drama between the duo weeks ago. It all started when Georgina butt into the fight between Angela Okorie and Kemi Olunloyo after she accused Angela of collecting money and sleeping with former Gambian President, Yahya Jammeh.
It was messy, resorting to treats from both party and Georgina took the fight upon herself and started attacking Kemi, and all hell was let loose.
After dragging and cursing each other severally,. Georgina finally decided to let things slide even though Kemi wasn’t ready to embrace peace.
Trying to prove to the world that she is matured, Georgina has taken to her social media platform soliciting a campaign to assist the release of Kemi.
This is similar to what she did weeks ago when she wished Kemi Olunloyo’s son a happy birthday amidst the whole messy fight, a gesture Kemi returned with more abuses.
But it appears Georgina has moved on from the whole drama or probably pretending to have moved on as she claims to err is human but to forgive define.
What is the actress really up to? Because behind closed doors, it’s possible she is laughing her heart out over Kemi’s ordeal.
Gbedu magazine reveals that in her words: “lot of people have been writing me about Kemi or HnnAfrica arrest.. Everyone knows my perception of her.. Her lies, falsehood and misinformation to the general public of events that never happened. Yes I fought her vigorously to protect and defend my image is was trying hard to tarnish with lies maliciously.
However, we are all flawed and imperfect. She is an opinionated writer and steps out of bounds most often. Yet, I will plead to the Pastor of the church she accused and Nigerian police Port-Harcourt Branch to please show mercy and release her. She is a mum and needs to be home with her kids.
I call on all well-meaning Nigerians to please forgive her and lend your voices towards her release. I beg of you all.
Please free Kemi
God bless you all.
To err is human; To forgive is Divine.”

Welcome to our review of 65, a sci-fi survival film starring Adam Driver. At first glance, the trailer for this movie seemed promising with the popular actor and the mention of dinosaurs. However, upon viewing the film, disappointment quickly set in.
The plot felt contrived with the number of conveniences used to move the story forward. The CGI dinosaurs were not very convincing, and the creatures did not resemble typical depictions of dinosaurs. The best part of the film was Adam Driver’s performance, which was overshadowed by the poorly written plot.
Directed by Scott Beck and Brian Woods, this movie felt like something made-for-Netflix. Unfortunately, it did not live up to expectations, and most of it was boring. The emotional connection between the two main characters, a father and daughter duo, did not resonate well with the audience.
The film starts with Adam Driver’s character going on a two-year journey through space to help his terminally ill daughter. While the opening of the film was well done, the rest of the plot lacked originality and felt forced.
In conclusion, 65 is a forgettable movie that fails to impress. It is not bad enough to be enjoyable as a “so bad, it’s good” movie, and it is not good enough to recommend watching. Spending money on this movie is not worth it, and it would be better to watch something else, such as Creed 3.

In the time between the 1890s and 1920s, America experienced a massive amount of growth. People in poverty-stricken, overcrowded cities suffered greatly. In big cities, politicians kept power using several political machines. Companies created monopolies and controlled the nation’s economy. Many Americans were concerned about this, and believed that great change was needed in society to protect everyday people. As a result, these people, generally journalists, were called “reformers”. This reformative era was known as the Progressive Movement. However, through all the changes that were shaping America, one major group that was left untouched were the African Americans. African Americans suffered through many issues involving continual racism and segregation. To fight back against the racial immorality and crimes of lynching, lack of decent healthcare health care, education and housing and deprival of the political process, African-American women reformist, Ida B Wells proceeded to fight for equal rights for African Americans in the United States. Wells had an overarching effect on the progressive era as a whole by writing articles bringing lynching to light, protecting the rights of …show more content…
Wells was born a daughter to slaves in Mississippi. Six months after her birth their family was declared free through the Emancipation Proclamation. However they faced racial prejudices and discrimination. James Well, her father was a part of the Freedman’s Aid Society, which organized teachers from the North to teach in the schools in the South for African Americans free and their children. Along with starting up Shaw University, another school for freed blacks, this is where Wells received her early schooling but dropped out at the age of 16 when both of her parents and one of her siblings died due to yellow fever; this left Wells to take care of her other siblings. She landed a job as a teacher for a short while before beginning her career as a journalist and
Throughout American history, few groups if any have experienced the social and economic inequality African Americans have experienced. Since the 1890’s, they’ve accomplished a lot like gaining the right to vote, getting segregation abolished, etc. Many of these changes were spurred on by activists of the Civil Rights Movement. These activists were people like Oliver Brown who is the reason Brown v. Board of Education occurred, college students from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University who started the Greensboro sit-in, and everyone who participated in the peaceful protest in Selma, Alabama. In each case, activists made a positive impact; Oliver Brown’s case made people see that segregated schools are unjust, the students
Thomas Jefferson announced “Our citizens may be deceived for a while, and have been deceived; but as long as the presses can be protected, we may trust to them for light”. As one of his famous quotes. Jefferson’s quote is stating that anti republicans didn’t have to risk themselves for any change of government. He is trying to say to reduce department to economy. Ida B. Wells an african-american muckraker journalist who wrote about lynching trying to make a point to stop it.
Wells was heavily influenced to continue her fight for people in her community upon hearing of the 3 black men who owned a grocery store and were tried initially because a white owner did not like the competition and had them tried as a public nuisance. They were later lynched by a white mob. Wells wrote on the injustice and later wrote on the unfair conditions of black women and wanted to be treated as an equal leader amongst men. She wrote on how disappointing the circumstances were for black women in the South as there was, “wholesale contemptuous defamation of their women.” (Adams, 1994)
In our society today, it can be difficult to forget the fact that just a century ago, minority groups such as women and African Americans faced adversity as they battle the fight for equality. All across America, people worked diligently to push for a change that would have a lasting effect. The year of 1920 encompassed several major turning points in American history such as the Election of 1920, the Sacco-Vanzetti case, and the impacting roles of minorities. While there were many turning points in the year of 1920, the election of 1920 was one of the most politically critical moments.
Even though reformers wanted to improve the conditions of the average working men, they were more prone to aid the corporate monopolies. Joseph Huthmacher contradicts Mowry when he states, “[..]indicates the basis for urban lower-class interest in the many types of social welfare and labor measures” (Huthmacher 13). He says that because the lower-class was mostly immigrants they did not care about the politics of the United States of America. The ideal society for reformers in Huthmacher’s eyes was a society where the blue collar workers were treated as equals to the white collar ones. They wanted there to be no visible line between rich and poor.
During the 90s of the nineteenth century hundreds of African Americans were persecuted and lynched regardless if they committed a crime or not. These atrocities got the attention with major African American leaders and writers including Ida B. Wells. She wrote a pamphlet called Southern Horrors, an autobiography detailing the many accounts of lynching used during her time. Wells even went to England, Scotland, and Wales to appeal to the people against lynching by making speeches and meeting with leaders to help ease the burden of colored people and stop lynching. To convince her audience, she recalled several primary sources from accounts of lynchings and court records, even going to the United Kingdom to make speeches to help her cause.
Wells was an active leader in the lynching protests and she began an anti-lynching campaign in 1892. (Ida B. Wells Biography) The campaign consisted of articles written by Wells criticizing the extreme deaths of African Americans. She traveled throughout the South to obtain as much information as possible on lynching cases. While doing this, Wells’ life was in danger, she was criticized and threatened by many to where she was no longer able to return home.
On March 03, 1913, thousands of women marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C. as a form of protest in order to gain suffrage rights for women. Before the march, however, one of the parade organizers, Alice Paul, urged black suffragettes including Ida B. Wells to not march with Caucasian women. She feared white suffragists may have not wanted to participate in the parade if they had to march with African American women. People within and outside of the suffrage movement including the government often discriminated against black suffragettes on the account of race, which could have made obtaining voting rights for them more difficult. As a way of combatting exclusion from the suffrage movement, Ida B. Wells established and participated in numerous organizations that supported people of color such as the Alpha Suffrage club, which was the first black female suffrage association in Chicago.
Huthmacher conveys that liberalism of Americans made the type of political system they were wanting. He asserted that the government got involved because of how the lower class portrayed their rights and voted for legislation. The low class was looking for improvement for working conditions. He provided job security, better wages and working conditions, and gave some benefits of production to consumers. “As a result, we find urban lower-class representatives introducing a large variety of business regulatory measures on the local and state levels during the Progressive Era”(Huthmacher 13).
The lecture on African Americans in the 1920s by Professor David Canton is very disturbing. His lecture was on the different unjust treatment that African Americans endured. The professor, to me, was trying to make the listener feel the anguish that African Americans did in the 1920s. In some sense he appeared passionate and at times angry about the treatment of African Americans. The government supported this hostile treatment because they believed African Americans were being subversive if they stood up and defended themselves.
Jane Addams The Progressive Era, 1890-1920, accomplished great change in the Unites States of America. Many reformers and activits demanded for change in education, food and drug policies, and most importantly the govermenet. The goal for the movement was the purify the nation. One of the main activits during this time was Jane Addams. Jane Addams is often refered to as a social and political pioneer.
Between 1880 and 1920, as immigrants flooded the United States, the U.S. transitioned from a highly rural, agricultural society to an urban, industrial nation. Although during the Progressive era, progressives sought to push the nation into economic advancement, it was actually President Roosevelt’s New Deal, that restored public confidence and created government programs that led to relief for millions of Americans after Progressivism drove the country into turmoil. The new society established during the progressive era lacked stability, cultivated a sense of despair, high unemployment rates, shrunk and ultimately crashed the economic system. With urbanization, cities grew in number and size providing jobs to those who moved there, however
African Americans quote on quote received equal rights as White Americans, they got to go to privately own public businesses without having to deal with the harassment and discrimination from the owners also the racism from the authorities did not fully stopped but it was significant difference between how it was and how it came to be. African Americans finally got the recognition and the rights they had always
Black American History had a major role in the development of the present day United States. Slavery was the foundation of the Confederate states economic growth. This essay will focus on Booker T. Washington a man born in Virginia as a slave and with dedication earned a decent education and processed to do good deeds with it. As a slave he would package salt and work in mines and was allowed to walk to school during his free time. Booker T. Washington's accomplishments were founding Tuskegee University and being the first African American to dine in the White House and publish more than forty books.

Pyruvate, phosphate dikinase
|pyruvate, phosphate dikinase|

|Gene Ontology||AmiGO / QuickGO|
|Pyruvate, phosphate dikinase|
|See domains below.|
Pyruvate, phosphate dikinase, or PPDK (EC 220.127.116.11) is an enzyme in the family of transferases that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- ATP + pyruvate + phosphate AMP + phosphoenolpyruvate + diphosphate
This enzyme has been studied primarily in plants, but it has been studied in some bacteria as well. It is a key enzyme in gluconeogenesis and photosynthesis that is responsible for reversing the reaction performed by pyruvate kinase in Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas glycolysis. It should not be confused with pyruvate, water dikinase.
It belongs to the family of transferases, to be specific, those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with paired acceptors (dikinases). This enzyme participates in pyruvate metabolism and carbon fixation.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:pyruvate, phosphate phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase, pyruvate-phosphate dikinase (phosphorylating), pyruvate phosphate dikinase, pyruvate-inorganic phosphate dikinase, pyruvate-phosphate dikinase, pyruvate-phosphate ligase, pyruvic-phosphate dikinase, pyruvic-phosphate ligase, pyruvate, Pi dikinase, and PPDK.
PPDK catalyses the conversion of pyruvate to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), consuming 1 molecule of ATP, and producing one molecule of AMP in the process. The mechanism consists of 3 reversible reactions:
- The enzyme PPDK binds to ATP, to produce AMP and a diphosphorylated PPDK.
- The diphosphorylated PPDK binds to inorganic phosphate, producing diphosphate and (mono)phosphorylated PPDK.
- Phosphorylated PPDK binds to pyruvate, producing phosphoenolpyruvate, and regenerating PPDK.
The reaction is similar to the reaction catalysed by pyruvate kinase, which also converts pyruvate to PEP. However, pyruvate kinase catalyses an irreversible reaction, and does not consume ATP. By contrast, PPDK catalyses a reversible reaction, and consumes 1 molecule of ATP for each molecule of pyruvate converted.
Currently, the details of each mechanistic step is unknown
In its active form, PPDK is a homotetramer with subunits about 95 kDa
There are two different reaction centres about 45 Angstroms apart, in which different substrates bind. The nucleotide (ATP) binding site is on the N-terminus, has 240 amino acids, and a characteristic ATP-grasp. The pyruvate/PEP binding site is on the C-terminus, has 340 amino acids, and an α/β-barrel fold. There is also a central domain, which contains His455, the primary residue responsible for catalysis. His455 is the phosphoryl acceptor or donor residue. The structure of the enzyme suggests that the His455 arm undergoes a swivelling motion to shuttle a phosphoryl group between the two reaction centres. During this swivelling, the central domain rotates at least 92 degrees, and translates 0.5 Angstroms.
Studies of crystal structures of PPDK show that the central domain is located in different proximity to the two other domains depending on the source of the enzyme. In maize, it is closer to the C-terminal, while in Clostridium symbiosum, it is closer to the N-terminal.
Research has shown that the PPDK binding mechanisms are similar to that of D-Ala-D-Ala ligase and pyruvate kinase. In particular, PPDK is very similar to pyruvate kinase, which also catalyses the conversion of pyruvate to phosphoenolpyruvate; however, it does so without a phosphorylated-enzyme intermediate. Though their amino acid sequences are different, residues key to catalysis are preserved in both enzymes. Point-mutagenesis experiments have shown that catalytic residues include Arg561, Arg617, Glu745, Asn768, and Cys831 (numbering relative to the C, symbiosum protein, PDB: 1KBL, 1KC7).
Biological function and evolution
PPDK is used in the C4 pathway, to improve the efficiency of carbon dioxide fixation. In environments where there is a lot of light, the rate of photosynthesis in plants is limited by the rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) uptake. This can be improved by using a series of chemical reactions to transport CO2 from mesophyll cells (which are located on the outside of a leaf) to bundle sheath cells (which are located inside the cells). PPDK converts pyruvate to PEP, which reacts with CO2 to produce oxaloacetate. When CO2 is released in the bundle sheath cells, pyruvate is regenerated, and the cycle continues.
Though the reaction catalysed by PPDK is reversible, PEP is favoured as the product in biological conditions. This is due to the basic pH in the stroma, where the reaction occurs, as well as high concentrations of adenylate kinase and pyrophosphatase. Because these two enzymes catalyse exergonic reactions involving AMP, and disphosphate, respectively, they drive the PPDK-catalysed reaction forward. Because PPDK consumes ATP, the C4 pathway is unfavourable for plants in environments with little access to light, as they are unable to produce large quantities of ATP.
PPDK is highly abundant in C4 leaves, comprising up to 10% of total protein. Research has shown that the enzyme is about 96% identical in different species of plants. Hybridization experiments revealed that the genetic differences correlate with the extent to which the plants perform the C4 pathway – the uncommon sequences exist in plants which also display C3 characteristics. PPDK is also found in small quantities in C3 plants. Evolutionary history suggests that it once had a role in glycolysis like the similar pyruvate kinase, and eventually evolved into the C4 pathway.
Besides plants, PPDK is also found in the parasitic ameoba Entamoeba histolytica (P37213) and the bacteria Clostridium symbiosum (P22983; as well as other bacteria). In those two organisms PPDK functions similarly to (and sometimes in place of) pyruvate kinase, catalyzing the reaction in the ATP-producing direction as a part of glycolysis. Inhibitors for the Entamoeba PPDK have been proposed as amebicides against this organism.
Plant PPDK is regulated by the pyruvate, phosphate dikinase regulatory protein (PDRP). When levels of light are high, PDRP dephosphorylates Thr456 on PPDK using AMP, thus activating the enzyme. PDRP deactivates PPDK by phosphorylating the same threonine residue, using diphosphate. PDRP is a unique regulator because it catalyses both activation and deactivation of PPDK, through two different mechanisms.
Research on maize PPDK suggests that introns, terminator sequences, and perhaps other enhancer sequences, act cooperatively to increase the level of functional and stable mRNA. PPDK cDNA was expressed only slightly in transgenic rice, compared to intact DNA which saw significant expression.
As of early 2018, 14 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1DIK, 1GGO, 1H6Z, 1JDE, 1KBL, 1KC7, 1VBG, 1VBH, 2DIK, 2FM4, 5JVJ, 5JVL, 5JVN, 5LU4.

Following three straight losses, Tuivasa definitely had his back against the wall heading into Saturday but he delivered in a major way as he closed the distance on Stefan Struve and unloaded with a barrage of punches that brought an end to their fight.
As Struve crumbled to the ground, the referee rushed into rescue him as Tuivasa began celebrating his victory in Abu Dhabi. The official end time was 4:59 in the first round.
“It’s been a while. It’s good to be back,” Tuivasa said afterwards. “Honestly, [the losing streak] makes me work harder. Obviously you have that in the back of your head. Good to win.”
As soon as the fight got started, Tuivasa made it his mission to shut down the significant height and reach advantage that Struve had over him. Again and again, Tuivasa pressed forward, pushing Struve against the cage as he started loading up on his punches.
It was a combination that included a couple of shots to the body as well as a nasty uppercut that finally put Struve down and out for good.
At 27, Tuivasa still has plenty of time to grow as he continues to learn and evolve in the UFC but the knockout over Struve had to feel good following a tough run in his previous three performances.
