National Geographic : 1956 Oct
Back to the Historic Black Hills 479 The Old West Rubs Elbows with the New in a Frontier Vacationland Rich with Memories of Indians, Covered Wagons, and Gold Fever BY LELAND D. CASE With Illustrations by National Geographic PhotographerBates Littlehales « O you're going to the Black Hills of South Dakota!" Delight shone in the lady's eyes, and there was a trill in her voice. "Jim and I just discovered them, and we're going back next summer. Real mountains, only 900 miles from our home here in Chicago! They're not black, but green, like an emerald on the prairie. They're big, but so beautiful they don't overpower my ego. Have you ever seen them?" Had I, indeed! I grew up in the Black Hills. "To the Sioux they were Paha Sapa, liter ally 'Hills Black,'" I said. "And they are mountains. Harney Peak rises 7,242 feet above sea level." Friendly Hills, Exciting History Half an hour later I was still talking, in fancy at Red Canyon digging for a gold brick stolen by Big Nose George from the Dead wood stagecoach, when a glance from my wife speeded up my tale. Black Hillers are that way, I fear. Our conversational brakes grip lightly when we talk about our friendly Hills. And we like to tell of that new arrival in heaven who was perturbed to see some people in shackles. "Oh, they're from the Black Hills," ex plained St. Peter. "If we don't keep 'em chained, they'll head for home." Vacationers, too, feel the spell of these mountains on the prairie and want to return. That Chicago couple was typical. So was Calvin Coolidge. In the Black Hills he learned to grin under a 10-gallon hat-and to play. It was here, in his Summer White House, that he made history in 1927 by announcing, "I do not choose to run." The Black Hills reminded him of his boyhood in the Green Mountains of Vermont, and shortly before his death he was planning to return. I wasn't surprised, therefore, at what hap pened to Bates Littlehales, the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC photographer assigned to make color pictures for this article. I met Bates at Sturgis one mellow June afternoon. In our motel cabin that evening he was twanging his guitar and trying a new cowboy song, when he suddenly stopped. "Already I've seen enough of your Black Hills to know one thing," he declared. "To night I write my family back in Washington that they must see them too. If not this sum mer, then the next." "Not very original," I bantered, "but you're in good company. Listen to what Gen. George A. Custer wrote to his beautiful wife when he was here in 1874." I dug from my bag a book, Boots and Sad dles, by Elizabeth B. Custer, and read: "It would have been such a treat to have had you see all that we have seen this summer, and shared the enjoyment of this beautiful land. But, never mind, you shall come next summer, for we all hope to return..." "To clinch the coincidence for you," I went on, "Custer was within sight of Bear Butte when he wrote the letter, and that's where we're going tomorrow." Upside-down Ice-cream Cone Bear Butte still looked precisely as it did to me as a youngster-like an upside-down ice-cream cone. Towering 1,400 feet above the prairie just east of the Hills' outer escarp ment, it is as dramatic a landmark for tourists today as it was in years past for Indians, trappers, explorers, soldiers, prospectors, and homesteaders (map, page 485).* Geologists admire Bear Butte too; they cite it as a classic laccolith. In layman's language, this means a volcano that didn't quite make it. Eons ago internal pressures found a weak spot in the earth's skin and squished up this blob of lava. Erosion laid bare the butte, now decorated with ponderosa pines. We could hear winds soughing through them as Sumner Bovee cinched saddles and we climbed aboard his stumbleproof burros. * See "South Dakota Keeps Its West Wild," by Frederick Simpich, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE, May, 1947.

It has been a long time between curtains for live theatre in Melbourne. So, when I was offered the opportunity to review not just a new theatre production, but an independent one, I was extremely excited and keen to be able to support the local industry again.
‘Voldemort and the Teenage Hogwarts’ is a new parody production put on by the exceptionally talented teams from Theatre Works, Red Hot Productions and Salty Theatre. I need to re-emphasise the Parody term; this production is in no way associated with the official Wizarding World. Now, with that legal statement out of the way, let’s dive in.
So, what is ‘Voldemort and the Teenage Hogwarts’? Well, as the title suggests, the story is set around the time of an adolescent Tom Riddle, portrayed by Alex Donnelly, at Hogwarts. Accompanied by his classmates; Hagrid (Jay Hagget), Myrtle Warren (Emily Hansford), Genevieve Griffyndor (Stephanie John), Muffin Rows (Mel O’Brien) and Derald Bacon (Jonathon Shilling), the class have been set to compete in a battle of the bands competition run by Professor Al (Ellis Dolan).
Tom Riddle is your typical moody, hormonal teenager that struggles with his feelings and inability to talk to girls. That is not all that Tom is struggling with, he is also starting to discover his dark side and is unsure what to do with it. This parody musical cleverly brings Tom’s struggles to the forefront and sheds some light into what Hogwarts might have been like when Tom was a teen. The story is also a wonderful tale of friendship, jealousy, love and loss.
I found this production utterly hilarious and admit that the story did, at times, tug on those heart strings. Not only is it a parody of the magical world, but they also borrow from the music industry to assist in the telling of this clever new tale. Alex Donnelly as Tom Riddle is absolutely fantastic and I was thoroughly impressed with how he capture the conflicted mood of a young Tom Riddle so perfectly. Not only did Tom Riddle seem very human, but also extremely relatable. Donnelly’s on-stage chemistry with his co-star Mel O’Brien was ridiculously cute and believable. A notable mention to Ellis Dolan in his role as not only the character of Professor Al, but a few other cameos that were utterly hilarious. I also can’t forget to mention Jay Hagget as Hagrid, his wholesome portrayal of the gentle giant and his beautiful voice, wow!
The production itself is set up in a lovely independent theatre in St Kilda’s Acland Street. The Theatre Works team have set up a series of isolated booths ranging from 2-6 seats, each of which is encased in clear Perspex. This allows you to comfortably sit and enjoy the production without the worry of social distancing. However, I found at times that it was hard to understand and hear the cast clearly during the production and sadly, a bit of dialogue was missed. This is likely due to an issue with sound and how it bounces off the Perspex. It wasn’t a deal breaker, however, and I feel it could be improved by a single monitor in each for dialogue.
Overall, ‘Voldemort and the Teenage Hogwarts’ is killingly funny and one I strongly suggest you check out before the season ends. Not just for the comedy and musical entertainment factor, but also for the interesting insight into a tale we do not know much about, set in a world that we are extremely familiar with. It might not be cannon, but it is surprisingly plausible and incredibly fun.
‘Voldemort and the Teenage Hogwarts’ is performing at St Kilda’s Theatre Works in Melbourne until the 10th April 2021.
Tickets are available at the venue or via their website: https://www.theatreworks.org.au
Voldemort and the Teenage Hogwarts is not authorized, sanctioned, licensed, or endorsed by J.K. Rowling, Warner Bros. or any person or company associated with the Harry Potter books, films or play.

Provide relief to hailstorm hit farmers in 5 days, says Munde
The BJP in Maharashtra today threatened to take to the streets if the state government failed to provide a relief package to hailstorm affected farmers within five days.
Mumbai: The BJP in Maharashtra today threatened to take to the streets if the state government failed to provide a relief package to hailstorm affected farmers within five days.
Talking to reporters, senior BJP leader Gopinath Munde alleged that the government is not serious about helping hailstorm affected farmers.
"No helping hand has come from the state government.If the government does not announce a relief package in five days, then the BJP will take to the streets and stage demonstrations," Munde said.
He said that around 22 farmers committed suicide, since they were not given financial assistance by the government.
"The government should stop recovering loans from farmers. The financial assistance sought from the Centre is not sufficient," he said.
Crops in more then 12 lakh hectares suffered damages due to the recent untimely rain and hailstorm in Maharashtra.
A delegation of ministers led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar as well as Election Commission officials on Friday, and demanded Rs 5,000 crore as relief towards damages caused by rains and hailstorms.
Since the model code of conduct is in place for the Lok Sabha elections, Chavan had to seek the EC`s permission to allow the state to provide compensation which is over and above the amount fixed under the Centre`s Natural Calamity Relief Fund.

The AAP is denouncing a new federal e-cigarette policy that pulls only some flavored e-cigarettes from the market.
"Today the Trump administration failed to take the strong action necessary to address the youth e-cigarette epidemic. The guidance could have been a meaningful victory for children's health and instead is a major missed opportunity that will still leave young people at risk for addiction," AAP President Sara “Sally” H. Goza, M.D., FAAP, said in a statement. "Science shows us that flavors lure children in and this guidance will allow thousands of flavors— like mango, grape, and green apple— to stay on the market in vape shops across the country for use in refillable vaping devices.”
Selling any type of e-cigarettes is illegal, but authorities have not been enforcing the law. Federal health officials announced Thursday that e-cigarette manufacturers would have 30 days to stop selling cartridge-based flavored e-cigarettes with the exception of menthol and tobacco flavors.
The new enforcement measure comes as roughly 5.3 million middle and high school students are using e-cigarettes, according to the 2019 National Youth Tobacco Survey.
“By prioritizing enforcement against the products that are most widely used by children, our action today seeks to strike the right public health balance by maintaining e-cigarettes as a potential off-ramp for adults using combustible tobacco while ensuring these products don’t provide an on-ramp to nicotine addiction for our youth,” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II, J.D., said in a news release. “We will not stand idly by as this crisis among America’s youth grows and evolves, and we will continue monitoring the situation and take further actions as necessary.”
But Dr. Goza said the administration’s policy allowing menthol and all flavors in refillable tank-based products will continue to draw adolescents to vaping, a practice that is both addictive and harmful to developing brains.
"Menthol – which is an ingredient in both mint and menthol flavored products – provides a cooling sensation that masks the harsh taste of nicotine, making it easier for children to get hooked,” she said. “The idea that menthol is an adult flavor is just plain wrong.”
She brought that message directly to President Donald J. Trump at the White House in November. But Trump has said he is concerned about the vaping industry in addition to children’s health.
Even the flavors being pulled from the market may eventually end up back on shelves. The Food and Drug Administration will be reviewing premarket applications from manufacturers and deciding which products to allow.
The AAP is calling on Congress to ban all flavored e-cigarette products.
"We need bold, decisive action to protect young people from e-cigarettes and today's guidance falls far short of that," Dr. Goza said. "Pediatricians call on Congress to step in where the administration has failed. We will continue to do everything we can to protect our patients from tobacco and nicotine addiction."

Widows and Widowhood: A Creative Approach to Being Alone Peterson 1977 Submitter: This book was an excellent choice for a public library back in 1977. Unfortunately, the data and info are no longer accurate. I did enjoy the section on
Teach your wife how to be a widow
U.S. News & World Report
Money Management Library
I have been doing my income taxes this past week so I was in no mood for this title to cross my desk. Seriously? What is the holding library thinking? The purpose of this book is to help those big strong husbands out there to explain the complicated world of money, investing, and insurance. The tone of the book throughout assumes women barely touch money and men know a lot about managing money. This book is how you “teach” your obviously slow witted wife the ins and outs of money. I am sure my mother would have been appalled in 1973, as well as 2011.

German automotive manufacturer Mercedes-Benz lays claim to building the first car, essentially a three-wheeled trike or “motorwagen” patented in 1886. Karl Benz’s creation eventually led to the formation of Mercedes-Benz, one of the most renowned automotive brands in the world.
The Benz Motor Car No. 1 may have been the first car, but there were other attempts to build motorized conveyances. Nevertheless, Benz’s model was the first practical vehicle to rely on the internal combustion engine to propel the vehicle.
The Mercedes-Benz moniker wasn’t used until 1926, with its origins credited to Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft or Daimler Motors Corporation, itself founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. In 1926, the Daimler and Benz companies merged, producing a new brand. Today, Mercedes-Benz is often simply referred to as “Mercedes.”
Early on, Mercedes showed its innovative side, developing the first multi-valve engine in 1910 and a supercharged engine in 1921. In 1931, Mercedes introduced four-wheel independent suspension followed by the first diesel-powered car five years later, the Mercedes-Benz 170 Da. The 170 series was the most popular model of that era with production resumed after World War II.
During the 1950s, several new models were released, underscoring the company’s recovery and market leadership. The Mercedes-Benz Type 300 was its largest model, available in coupe, sedan, limousine and cabriolet versions. The 300 SL Gullwing was also produced, later offered as an open roadster. The Gullwing was also the first model imported to the U.S. and in 1957 the company signed a distribution agreement with Studebaker-Packard to sell its cars stateside. By 1965, Mercedes-Benz USA was formed and began selling its cars directly.
U.S. growth from the 1960s to the 1980s was slow, but steady with early models such as the Mercedes-Benz 600, 280 and SL-Class shaping the brand. By the 1990s, Mercedes was positioned to challenge for luxury brand leadership, releasing its compact C-Class in 1993 followed by its midsize E-Class two years later.
The C-Class, also known as the “Baby Benz,” helped bring the brand to the masses. This model is known for its cutting edge design, industry leading safety features and high-end craftsmanship. Together with the E-Class, the two model lines fueled brand growth and led to new models such as the CLK-Class sports car.
Brand growth accelerated in the new millennium as Mercedes expanded its SUV lines beyond the G-Class to release models such as the R-Class and the M-Class. Mercedes also introduced the CLA-Class, a new entry-level car line to slot below the C-Class.
Through the years, Mercedes has shown its racing prowess too, buying the AMG performance brand in 1999 and producing such models as the S63 AMG and the CLA45 AMG. The performance brand has since been renamed Mercedes-AMG and is a direct competitor to BMW M and the Cadillac V-Series.
Mercedes is also a leader in diesel technology and connected car technologies and is involved in vehicle electrification with its B-Class electric drive model.

Fayose Charges Judges On Fairness
Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has admonished judges to ensure fair dispensation of justice without fear or favour.
The governor gave the charge when magistrates in the state paid him a courtesy call in his office.
In a release issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, the governor said, “the positions we occupy today, whether as governor or magistrate is temporary and we have an account to give. It is important that we fear God. We must not bow to pressure and do the wrong thing.
Fayose further charged the judges not to succumb to any form of threat or intimidation that would make them give judgment against their conscience.
“I read in the papers that some people in authority now go and dig into the financial papers of judges and use that to subtly blackmail them to give rulings and judgments their ways,”he said
You have the power of life and death, please do the right things. Don’t make yourself tools in the hand of the devil.”
Responding, the leader of the group, Magistrate Adesoji Adegboye, appealed to the state government to implement the Magistrate Court Law and establish judicial training institute to enhance capacity building.
The governor assured that a befitting accommodation would soon be provided for the judiciary.

Pokemon US Nationals 2011 ended yesterday and I had a blast! It was my first Nationals after my first full year playing (I started last spring so I only played in a few battle roads from last season). I should have started writing this before today so I could remember more about my matches, so I'll just do my best to go through what I can. Overall, I went 5-4 which was what I was aiming for (a winning record), but at the end I felt like I could have done a lot better.
I played a deck that I call "The Chinchilla Variety Hour", but I found out on Friday that someone else already thought of it and it's called "4 corners". It's a combination of yanmega prime, donphan prime, zoroark and cincinno - 4 stage 1's that complement each other very well. If you'd like to see my decklist, I'll have it posted on youtube.
So the night before, I resleeve my deck with ultra pro matte black sleeves. My regular ultra pros had been breaking and I was told that reverses would look better in matte sleeves. This was the first time I had ever played with a complete reverse deck. I played one practice game after resleeving that went horribly. I ran into a huge energy drought, but was told it was just bad luck and not to worry about it. My deck is pretty consistent. So I go along and don't shuffle anymore tyring to keep the sleeves as mint as possible (I heard that Nationals can be picky about perfectly unmarked sleeves - I didn't want a bent corner that comes from shuffling too much to be considered marked).
My first match is against one of the biggest decks in the format - magneboar. I have practiced against this deck so many times and beat it 80-90% of the time, so I wasnt too worried when I saw what he was running. Unfortunately I lost anyways. My sleeves continued to clump cards together (instead of an energy drought like the night before, I drew almost nothing but energy). I was forced to use my cleffa several times and just kept dead drawing. He was able to take 3 prizes just on my babies because of rolling heads (I think I actually rolled heads on every baby, but he also had cleffa active which was the only reason I lasted more than 2 turns). I flip 3 tails on reversals which pretty much gives me no hope. I was able to take 3 prizes before he used rayquaza deoxys legend to take his last 2.
On to game #2. Yanmega was one of the most expensive cards there - peaking at over $75 before the tournament. My second opponent ran straight yanmega with sunflora to speed up the search. Again, my sleeves clump (I draw little to no energy) and I can't set up until mid-game. By that time he's got 3 yanmega and 2 sunflora (one of those yanmega with energy as a back up, ready to go). I do manage to bring the game close, but lose because of time being called.
By game #3 I'm pretty frustrated. My deck has been very consistent the past several months and the only difference now is the new sleeves. But I figure with two losses already, my 3rd opponent should be pretty easy and even setting up mid game I should be able to get a win. Luck was just not on my side. My opponent was magnezone yanmega, a deck that I had not practiced at all against. It was an excellent build and the only reason he lost his first two games is because he was donked. He got set up fast and while I still remember being able to take several prizes, it was in his favor all game. The sleeves clump for a 3rd time and I'm just not able to get going before he's got the magnezones in play. 0-3
I'm tempted to drop at this point, but figure that my rating is so horribly destroyed at this point that I might as well try and get a few of the points back. So I go for game 4. After a few hands it's clear that my new sleeves are finally broken in. Even if my hand is bad, it's a variety of bad, rather than just being all of one thing like energy. I'm playing a raichu deck with pachiriu to be able to attack every turn and plusle/minum to knock out babies. But an all electric deck couldn't stand up to my donphans and I take my first win.
With finally one win behind me, I think that there's maybe hope for a winning record. Losing the first 3 games destroyed any chance I had of top cut, but I didn't expect to make it to that level since it was only my first nationals and with the new rotation, my deck had never seen real tournament play. I honestly can't remember many details of my 5th game. I remember what the guy looked like and thinking that it was someone I had practiced against the day before, but the deck was different, so it wasn't. I wish I could remember what he was running, but that slips my mind too.
We knew we would play 6 games the first day, so this would be my last game of the day. When I sit down, my opponent is talking to a friend of his beside him, and I hear that he's playing reshiram. Excellent! That's what my zoroarks are for! Before the game even started though, a card flew out while he was shuffling, which gave the deck away anyways. But it didn't matter. The poor guy never saw an energy despite running 20, so he couldn't use his ninetales engine. I had a full bench set up pretty fast and one shot pretty much everything. He had had a pretty unlucky day, so he dropped after the game was over. Despite the bad game, he was extremely nice and a good sport.
So the main tournament is over for the day, and I have quite a bit of fun playing in side events and talking with a lot of new/old people (getting Jwittz's autograph too!). The next morning, there's issues with the alarms and we don't wake up until 7:40. We were told to be in the hall at 8:30. So after rushed showers we run downstairs to catch the shuttle to the convention center. We're told a 5-10 minute wait. That would still get us there a few minutes early. After 20 minutes the shuttle finally comes by. We barely make it to the hall in time and I rapidly start shuffling up my deck, slightly flustered at having to cut it so close. My starting hand has a zorua and cleffa in it with the fighting energy. I make a misplay that cost me the game. I put clefffa active and zorua on the bench. As we're waiting for them to call start, I realize my mistake, but it's too late to take it back. I lose the coin flip and go second, which lets him get out his tyrogue to take out my cleffa. WIthout a collector in hand I'm forced to play judge to try and get another basic. I fail. And worse yet, I judged him into the donphan and fighting energy he needed to take out my zorua. I was donked.
Determined to get a winning record, I refuse to drop. My next opponent is none other than Candace, a player in North Carolina and a good friend. We laugh about how we always seem to get paired up with each other at tournaments, how almost everyone we know seems to be doing horribly at nationals, and that we both drove over 10 hours just to play each other. She's playing reshiphlosion. The great thing about always playing her is that we always seem to to have really good close games. I take a few KOs with my zoroarks, and I think I do some damage with my yanmegas too. I get the early start but she comes back and brings it down to the last prize. I have a cincinno with a full bench doing 100, but the active typhlosion needs 120 to knock it out. I have one plus power in the discard pile. I get rid of as much of my hand as possible and copycat for I think 7 (possibly 9) and in those 7 are two junk arms. I use them both bringing my hand down to 1, but able to get both pluspowers to knock it out. One of the best games I've had all tournament.
So my goal of a winning record is in sight! I have one more game! I play a guy named Mike that sounds very familiar and I'm worried that it might be a big player that has just had a bad day. Sure enough, its donphan yanmega (I forget what else). I no longer have my samurott to counter donphan, so donphan matches are always difficult for me. For some reason, I don't remember too much about this game either, but that it was extremely close and came down to the last prize. I thought he had the game for sure, but he didn't have the energy he needed to knock me out (I believe he would have killed one of his own in the process which would have brought it to sudden death where I would have a really good shot). So he stalls, but I was able to someone take the knock out (I believe I used judge and knocked out something on the bench). We never did figure out why his name sounded familiar. It was his first time at Nationals and he was from Michigan. Oh well, he was still a great opponent.
I get my winning record and have a blast the rest of the event with side events and hanging out with amazing people. I didn't want to leave of course, but there's always next year. In the end, my ranking only went up by about 4 points, which was pretty sad considering I skipped a battle roads to practice for nationals, and could have earned quite a bit more than that there. But oh well, I was never in the running for an invite to worlds anyways and I significantly improved from my last season (even though it was only a few tournaments). My goal for next year will just be to continue to improve and do well at some of the bigger tournaments.
If you made it to the end of this post, congrats!! It's quite a big read! Check out my channel and facebook for tons of videos and pictures from Nationals!

Benedict Cumberbatch at the 2014 Oscars. He will play Hamlet at London’s Barbican Theatre. – EPA
Benedict Cumberbatch will put his own spin on William Shakespeare’s iconic “to be or not to be“ soliloquy in a new revival of Hamlet.
The Sherlock star will tread the boards as the melancholy and indecision prone prince of Denmark at London’s Barbican Theatre, a spokeswoman for the actor confirmed. The show will debut in August 2015, and Lyndsey Turner (Machinal) will direct the production.
Cumberbatch last appeared on stage in 2011 in a Danny Boyle-directed adaptation of Frankenstein, alternating the roles of monster and maker with Jonny Lee Miller, and picking up an Olivier Award for his troubles. In a delicious coincidence, Miller went on to star as Sherlock Holmes in CBS’ update of the Baker Street sleuth, Elementary.
On screen, Cumberbatch recently lent his dulcet tones to the role of the dragon in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and appeared in 12 Years a Slave. He will be playing Enigma code breaker Alan Turing in The Imitation Game.
Cumberbatch’s involvement in Hamlet was first reported by the Daily Mail. – Reuters

Both the Raman, coherent Compton, and Compton regimes of high-gain ion-ripple Lasers (IRLs) are studied. The IRL works by coupling a negative-energy beam wave (or ponderomotive potential) to an electromagnetic wave by means of the ion ripple (backward Raman scattering or backward coherent Compton scattering) or by amplification of an em wave by negative Landau damping (backward Compton scattering). By employing fluid theory, the dispersion relation for wave coupling is derived and used to calculate the radiation frequency and linear growth rate. The nonlinear saturation mechanism is explored. A multidimensional (one dimension in space, three dimensions in momenta and fields) particle-in-cell simulation code was developed to verify the ideas, scaling laws, and nonlinear mechanisms. The effect of momentum spread is also studied; there is a slow decrease in the growth rate and efficiency as well as broadening of the radiation spectrum. This scheme may provide tunable sources of coherent high-power radiation. By proper choice of device parameters, sources of microwaves, optical, and perhaps even x rays can be made. An ion ripple in a plasma can provide a very short undulator wavelength (e.g., 10-2 cm) and strong dc electric fields (e.g., 1010 V/m; equivalent to a magnetic field of 30 T). The plasma also produces an ion channel that provides guiding of electron and laser beams. The IRLs may generate high-power (e.g., >1 MW), coherent, short-wavelength photons with relatively low beam energy (e.g., 10 MeV) and possibly low beam quality requirement. The availability of tunable sources for wide wavelength regimes, coherence and high power, as well as lower cost and simplicity of equipment are emphasized.

My research includes two strands. One strand investigates the epidemiology and management of motor impairments experienced by people who have had a stroke, spinal cord injury or cerebral palsy. This strand of my research involves clinical trials and observational studies. The second strand investigates mechanical properties and and physiological behaviours of human muscles in vivo using medical imaging (ultrasound imaging, MRI and diffusion tensor imaging). I am particularly interested in the mechanisms that cause the development of muscle contracture.

Review: Definitely Mar io’s new EP, entitled ‘Twilight Of Ages’ is a masterpiece, an odyssey of electronic music. The release puts out 7 new tracks that goes from smooth atmospheric downbeat sounds to pleasant experimental tones of pure electronic music, that for sure will make you feel good. It is an EP that you have to listen to and enjoy. Incredible.
We come to February and of course new avant-garde releases see the light, not only do we share it, we select it especially because we are surprised by the proposal. Have you heard about Mar io\’s music? Well, this guy is a producer who has been producing almost all varieties of electronic music since 1992. After almost 20 years of music production this led to a lot of outstanding tracks.
At a time when our memories of sweaty club nights seem to stem from a parallel universe, it seems just fair that Mar io‘s new broque EP dedicates its heart and soul entirely to atmospheric downbeat electronica. Titled ‘Twilight Of Ages‘, this new EP brings out seven new tracks, already out.
‘Twilight of Ages‘ is full of reminiscences of the 90s, but rather than telling tales of dancefloor hysteria, it takes the turn right into the adjacent chillout rooms. Many may recall that the chillout of the 90s has been the time and place where soothing ambient spheres combined with an unhindered drive towards experimental electronica have made a long-lasting impact on contemporary music by constantly bending and blending genres ad sounds.
After his club-oriented EPs for labels such as Form & Terra, and last but not least his album on Broque, Mar io shows here that he has the potential to stand up to the likes of Plaid, Biosphere, The Orb and the whole Space Night posse.
With \’Space @ Night\’ he dedicates a track to Pascal F.E.O.S., who died surprisingly in 2020. F.E.O.S, apart from being well-known for his rave adventure, had been one of the driving forces behind the Space Night sound, together with Alex Azary and Gabriel Le Mar under the Aural Float moniker.
While \’Space @ Night\’ is representative for the high ambitions of the EP, gliding through time and space both dreamily and playfully, the EP as a whole resurrects the heyday of dubby atmospheric ambient sounds and playfully broken downbeats across seven diverse and enchanting tracks.
As such, the charms of ‘Twilight of Ages’ will delight and embrace everyone, by no means limited to those who have experienced the escapism of the 90s in chillout rooms rather than the dancefloor.“

What can you learn from Be Awesome Live Awesome?
Be Awesome Live Awesome is a book that can teach you many valuable lessons that can transform your life. Some of the key takeaways from the book are:
There is no limit to how big you can think. The only limit to our growth is our imagination. The author asks you to think as big as you can and generate as many ideas as possible. Even if your idea seems impossible, don't stop. Think further. Thinking big leads to huge possibilities.
To use your full potential, you need to know your goals. Goals give you direction and motivation. They help you focus on what matters and avoid distractions. The author guides you on how to set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals and how to break them down into actionable steps.
Stop doing self-criticism. Self-criticism is the enemy of self-confidence. It makes you doubt yourself and lowers your self-esteem. The author advises you to stop criticizing yourself for all the things you don't have or are unable to achieve. Instead, he suggests you to practice positive affirmations and appreciate what you already have.
Learn to deal with the bad stuff. Life is not always smooth and easy. There will be challenges, failures, rejections, mistakes, etc. The author teaches you how to cope with these situations and turn them into opportunities for learning and growth. He also shares some tips on how to handle stress, anger, fear, anxiety, etc.
Just start - don't wait for motivation. Motivation is not something that comes from outside. It comes from within. The author urges you to stop waiting for the perfect moment or the perfect mood to start something. He says that the best way to get motivated is to take action. Once you start doing something, you will feel more energized and enthusiastic.
Machines can't love you back. Technology has made our lives easier and faster, but it has also made us more isolated and disconnected. The author reminds you that machines can't love you back or give you emotional support. He encourages you to spend more time with real people who care about you and make you happy.
Become the director of your emotions. Emotions are powerful forces that can influence your thoughts and actions. The author shows you how to become the director of your emotions and not let them control you. He explains how to identify, understand, and manage your emotions in a healthy and productive way.
That's how you give feedback: The sandwich technique. Feedback is essential for improvement and growth, but it can also be hurtful and demotivating if not given properly. The author introduces you to the sandwich technique, a method of giving feedback that consists of three parts: praise, criticism, and praise. This way, you can give constructive feedback without hurting the other person's feelings.

I haven't chatted with her, but have thought about it. I have some of her ebooks and have found them helpful...
i dont know if you've spoken to her yet, only just saw this msg, but if you haven't, since i'm guessing you only get a limited amount of time, it might be a good idea to figure out what you might want to talk about first? - or she might pick up on stuff and figure out what she thinks is most helpful to say, i dont know, not having actually spoken to her.
jucafelix wrote:In some of her texts she claims that he path demands you to get in touch with your inner pain. The growth will only come through it and on hiding yourself from it you are just making it bigger. This text called the abandoned pain is the one I most identify myself with. ANyway I dont know If at this point I will have the strenght to do it, and even if I am capable of if I decide to do so.
About the abandoned pain, i relate to "abandoned pain" too. there is no such thing as never. if you can't face it right now, the first step is to accept that you feel you can't face it, and ask yourself what you feel that is making you feel like you can't do that.
there is no such thing as not capable - you are a human being with emotions, and you relate to that text - that in itself says you are capable. there is such a thing as not being ready
, but at the same time, there isn't, you are where you are, and you are working from that point.
wherever you are working from, you are preparing to and even beginning to deal with those things, it just takes time. if you are looking this far, you do have the strength. you just need to take things one piece at a time.
If you haven't done yet, you could always use this thread to write down some things you might want to talk about?
if you have done, hope it went well!

“I’ve always been a huge Alter Bridge fan and on the 2007 Van Halen tour we happened to be in the same city, so I went to go see them play and we met for the first time. We got along really well and kept in touch after that. I’m honored to be in his band now. Mark [Tremonti] is still one of my guitar idols,” Wolfgang Van Halen tells Noisecreep.
The Van Halen bassist is on the horn discussing his role in the group Tremonti. The band just wrapped up a run of European tour dates, and is currently heading to the U.S. to finish the trek in support of All I Was, their 2012 debut album. Van Halen joined the group’s ranks in late 2012.
“I was flattered that Mark thought of me for the gig, but he asked me out of nowhere after Brian [Marshall, original bassist] said he couldn’t tour. So I called my dad [Eddie Van Halen for the uninitiated] and asked him what he thought. He said, ‘Fuck yeah! It would be awesome.’ That’s all I needed to hear. So I called Mark back and told him I was in. My first show as a member of Tremonti was in New Jersey the day after I joined,” laughs the bassist.
Noisecreep can attest that Tremonti and his band boast a fervent social media following. So we ask Van Halen what kind of reaction his entry to the group’s lineup has been so far. “At first they were all surprised, but they’ve been so nice to me on Twitter and Facebook. There are always the haters, but that’s the way the Internet is anyway. I’m sure people will complain about our interview here. What can you do?”
hero, Van Halen was obviously exposed to music at a really young age. But his early influences might surprise some of you. “My dad introduced me to AC/DC before I could even talk, but the band that I found on my own that I truly fell in love with was Blink-182.
Growing up in a house with a certified guitar hero, Van Halen was obviously exposed to music at a really young age. But his early influences might surprise some of you. “My dad introduced me to AC/DC before I could even talk, but the band that I found on my own that I truly fell in love with was Blink-182.
“I loved the idea that they had two lead singers, and the vocal harmonies they use. I also started playing drums first, and Travis Barker is amazing. I would play along to all of the Blink-182 records. The other thing I loved about the band was that it was a trio like Muse or The Police. Three people getting it done. I love it.”
Van Halen tells us he switched to guitar after the drums, and eventually bass. “I switched to bass because it was the only position open in Van Halen [laughs]. I didn’t really get into the bass until we started messing around in the studio for about a year before the 2007 Van Halen tour. We rehearsed for a long time and at first it was just fun, and then when we got Dave [Lee Roth] involved, it got really serious.”
Noisecreep asks the 21-year-old who some of his favorite bassists are. “Les Claypool of Primus is huge for me. He keeps pushing the boundaries of what can be done on the instrument. Justin Chancellor of Tool is another personal favorite. Colin Edwin of Porcupine Tree is great. I also love all of the classic guys like Jack Bruce of Cream, John Entwistle of The Who and Jaco Pastorius.”
Besides rocking the bass, Van Halen is also a gifted singer, providing background vocal help in both Van Halen and Tremonti. “I actually got kicked out of choir in 5th grade. I think I learned more about singing from listening and picking apart harmonies on records I listened to like Blink-182.”
Kicked out of choir? Noisecreep needs to know. “I couldn’t focus on the classes, and I never paid attention. I was always just a troublemaker.”
Don’t worry Wolfgang, you’re doing just fine.

Feb 21 Pontiac, MI The Crofoot
Feb 22 Libertyville, IL Austin’s Saloon
Feb 23 Minneapolis, MN Mill City Nights
Feb 25 Colorado Springs, CO The Black Sheep

Chinese New Year will be very different for 25-year-old Anson Ma this year. The community manager who lives and grew up in Hong Kong is skipping the flower markets where her family usually gets together every year. She won’t be going door to door to neighbours’ houses and wishing them prosperity for the year ahead either.
“Usually, I go around the neighbourhood with my parents to visit each family, but I think we will just meet some important family members this year,” Ma told VICE.
Like her, many Hong Kongers are foregoing celebrations of the city’s most important holiday, in fear of the new coronavirus that originated from Wuhan, China. What was supposed to be a festive weekend filled with feasts and gatherings is now dampened by panic and worry.
As of January 24, the eve of Chinese New Year, at least 25 people in China had reportedly died due to the coronavirus. Confirmed cases of infection were recorded at 830, a rapid increase considering that earlier that week, the World Health Organization reported the number at 278. The virus has spread to cities around the world, including Hong Kong, where there are now two confirmed cases.
Many in Hong Kong have been wearing protective masks since early January in fear of contracting the virus. Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, is now only a short high-speed train ride away, a service that started in 2018. Retailers are now running low on the N95 mask and have started doubling their prices.
For Hong Kongers like Ma, this scene is way too familiar.
“I don't want to get affected [by the coronavirus] as I have experienced the SARS outbreak back in 2003, as a kid, and the memory is still vivid in my head,” she said. “I want to make sure that I have no chance to be infected.”
The Severe acute respiratory syndrome or “SARS,” originated from Guangdong Province and spread all over Southern China and Hong Kong, where hundreds of people died in less than two years. It caused a pandemic and spread to 17 countries around the world.
While the new coronavirus was not previously identified in humans before the outbreak in December last year, the WHO said that it is a respiratory disease similar to SARS. What starts off as regular flu-like symptoms could escalate to shortness of breath, pneumonia, and, in severe cases, acute respiratory distress syndrome and sepsis.
“People are much more cautious this time around because we don't want another outbreak,” Ma said. “SARS was a man-made disaster, so people have already started to wear masks in public transportation since the beginning of the year.”
Chinese New Year’s Eve is the busiest time in Hong Kong when people visit temples to offer food to the gods and pay their respect. The Man Mo Temple on Hong Kong Island and Wong Tai Sin Temple in Kowloon are two of the most popular in the city and get extremely crowded with people queueing in small spaces for hours. The city’s streets are also usually crowded, as many are busy buying food, traditional sweets, and flowers for their feasts.
But while every building, street, and mall are still adorned with the usual decorations, the atmosphere this year is very different. Instead of celebrations, security has become the top priority. Public events, like fireworks displays, were cancelled because of the anti-democracy protests that have taken over the city for months. And because of the new coronavirus, even fewer people plan to go out.
“Now that the virus has come to Hong Kong, we will need to be extra cautious especially because we have two young children,” Cherry Lam, a mother of two based in Hong Kong, told VICE. “We were also planning to go to a theme park on one of the holidays but now, we're not sure if it's safe to go anymore.”
They’ve also decided to refrain from meeting friends who plan to go to China for the holiday.
Every year, more than half a billion people travel for Chunyun (Spring Festival), creating the world’s largest annual migration. This begins 15 days before Chinese New Year, which is on January 25 this year, and lasts for more than a month. While authorities in Wuhan have recently quarantined the city in an effort to contain the spread of the deadly disease, travelling remains one of the main concerns for health professionals.
“I think that nobody was really taking the outbreak too seriously until last weekend, when the new tester was sent to all hospitals and the number of affected patients raised to hundreds in a day,” Qinglan Huang, 28, who works as a financial reporter in Hong Kong but is originally from Wuhan, said.
She planned to go home for the holiday but changed her mind after the situation in her hometown worsened.
“On my way to the airport, my mum called me three times and asked me to cancel my flight and informed me that the family had cancelled all annual dinners and family gatherings,” Huang said. “At that point, I really got scared and cancelled everything.”
She also said that most of her friends in Wuhan announced on social media that they would not travel home to celebrate, as the severity of the outbreak has scared many families, who still remain in Wuhan. They are now trying to cope with the restrictions, like a travel ban, imposed by the government
“My aunt also told me that doctors wearing full protection uniform showed up at her residential complex, as someone probably got sick, and they had to clear the area or take the patient,” Huang continued. “She sent me the photo and that also really scared me.”
Elizabeth Sathianesan, 25, a marketing executive in Hong Kong, also cancelled plans to visit family in Fujian Province. Fears of another SARS-like pandemic looms large over her family, so they decided to celebrate in a different way.
“My family and I usually go to China and visit every family member to celebrate the holidays and have traditional Chinese meals but this year, we decided to Skype instead.”

A little late, I’m sorry!
Last Thursday I had the chance to see Apocalyptica live in concert in Hamburg. I love the band and the city: best conditions for a wonderful evening with good music!
At 8 p.m. the lights were shut down and everyone became quiet. At the location I saw many „older“ people and some were from foreign countries. A very mixed up crowd.
The stage was dark, just four partition screens and then the band came onto stage with a surprise: Mikko wasn’t with them, but instead they had Antero (one of the founding members of Apocalyptica!) on stage. The show began without any words. The slogan of this tour is „Plays Metallica by four Cellos“.
The first half of the show was only filled with good music by four cellos. No vocals. No other instruments. The show began with „Enter Sandman“, followed by „Master of Puppets“. The emotions they guys put into the music was awesome, sometimes I had to suppress a single tear :‘) The scenery was simple but beautiful, the different light-colours well choosen. After an hour the first half was over and there was a twenty minutes break.
For the second half they got the drums onto the stage. And Mikko was playing them, finally! The second half began with „Fade to Black“. Perttu went to the microphone and screamed „YOU ARE ALLOWED TO STAND. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SCREAM!“ Finally all the people jumped out of their seats, some began to headbang, to dance, to rock. Finally there was some action in the crowd. The second half was really cool. More the part of a „real“ Apocalyptica show – I have to say, I kinda missed some of their own songs, but that was the wrong tour to go. ;D
The most popular songs of Metallica were played by this awesome Finnish band and they did it with all their hearts. An awesome evening. I’m pretty happy about having been there!
You can find the whole setlist here.
If you have the chance to see Apocalyptica live: Do it (for example at the Deichbrand Festival this year ;D).

Effects of Microgravity on the Haemopoietic System: A Study on Neocytolysis (Neocytolysis) - 11.22.16
Early studies on astronauts found that anemia (decrease of red blood cells in the blood stream) of individuals returning from a space flight was due to selective hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells), neocytolysis. The Neocytolysis investigation, can lead to treatments of different types of anemia, especially those related to renal failure or acute infections. Science Results for Everyone
Exploding red blood cells!? Less of that, please. Astronauts experience significant, symptomatic anemia caused by neocytolysis, a process that selectively ruptures new red blood cells. This happens under certain conditions on Earth as well, such as moving from high altitude to sea level. Blood cell volume, hemoglobin concentration, and red blood cell counts did not significantly differ from pre- to post-space flight. The percentage of new red blood cells did decrease after flight, and young cells lost viability, indicating that destruction of red blood cells occurred in space. Researchers observed no significant changes in red blood cell population in the control group. A programmed cell death characteristic in the organism could trigger the cell destruction.

- Neocytolysis (selective destruction of red blood cells) occurring in astronauts is an acute adaptive response triggered by the exposure to microgravity under normal oxygen pressure.
- Blood samples drawn from astronauts before and after a short duration space flight to ISS will be analyzed by investigators to determine the factors which contribute to neocytolysis and determine a treatment.
For decades, it has been reproducibly demonstrated that astronauts journeying in space for even a few days return to earth with a significant, symptomatic anemia. A previously unsuspected physiologic process that selectively hemolyzes the youngest circulating red blood cells under conditions of red cell excess, termed neocytolysis, is responsible for this change. This process is operative not only in space flight, but it is generalizable to other physiologic adaptive and pathophysiologic maladaptive situations. For example, neocytolysis occurs when polycythemic individuals acclimated to high altitude are transported to sea level and can be prevented by erythropoietin (EPO) injections. Renal failure represents a pathophysiologic situation in which EPO is depressed, and neocytolysis may be related to the anemia of renal failure. The recognition of neocytolysis is leading to a fresh look at the basis underlying a number of hematologic disorders.

This day has been coming for the Oklahoma City Thunder since October 28, 2012 when they traded Harden. Sam Presti gets a lot of credit for putting the Thunder together but his decision to trade Harden made this day inevitable. I recently written about how the Serge Ibaka trade was the sequel to the James Harden trade but it looks even worse now. Kevin Durant has left the Thunder, so what happens to Russell Westbrook? History has shown how Presti handles when a player has a chance to leave, he responds by trading them before they can leave. Except of course for Durant’s free agency.
Just after the Thunder lost in the Finals to the Miami Heat big three, they had a big summer to ahead of them. The 2011-12 Thunder were stacked with a great young core of Durant, Westbrook, Harden and Ibaka. They looked poised to be a force for a long time. They had been built through the draft, slowly grew as a team, losing in the first round, then the second, than overcoming the San Antonio Spurs to reach their first and only finals as a tandem. These Thunder had the makings of a new super team forming.
Then the summer arrived, and with it came the “the disease of more”. This idea comes from Pat Riley in his book “Showtime”. The idea is individuals will put aside their personal goals to achieve team goals. Once they achieve those goals they will start to look for more; more shots, more minutes, more of the spotlight, and more money. Harden and the Thunder engaged in talks for a contract extension with a deadline of October 31st to make a deal, if not Harden would become a restricted free agent in the summer of 2013. When it was clear they were not going to be able to get deal done, a trade was made and the Thunder are feeling the effect to this day.
The Thunder had many great seasons after that trade but never was able to find a third option as dynamic as Harden. The truth is Presti panicked; both sides were six million dollars apart and even if they didn’t come to an agreement Harden would have been a restricted free agent which means the Thunder would have the right to match any offer he accepted. They traded Harden to Houston and took them out of contention for the finals. They haven’t been in the finals since then.
Presti traded Ibaka on draft night, to avoid having to try to resign him next summer. Now looking at the Thunder’s roster without Durant, Presti has to decide what to do with Westbrook. When Durant was out for the year, he nearly carried them into the playoffs was averaging nearly a triple-double. The safest and wisest move for the Thunder is to start shopping Westbrook now before he leaves the team next summer.
The other option is to attempt to sign Westbrook to an extension now and go after another free agent in the summer of 2017 to quickly rebound from losing Durant. The 2017 free agent class is deeper than this summer’s class with headliners like Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, and Gordon Hayward. No question this is a riskier move but playing it safe didn’t work in 2012.
Four years ago the Thunder lost in the finals, and this year they fell a game short of returning to the finals again. Presti’s ill-fated decision to trade Harden denied the Thunder of creating their own super team at the time and led to Durant leaving to join one.

State Law: Tennessee
The Tennessee Human Rights Act, found in Tennessee Code Annotated Title 4, Chapter 21, makes it illegal for an employer or labor organization to discriminate against someone on the basis of sex.
In its definition of "employee," the Human Rights Act does not include individuals employed by their parents, spouse, or child or those in the domestic service of the employer. Under Tennessee law, an "employer" means, "the state, or any political or civil subdivision thereof, and persons employing eight (8) or more persons within the state, or any person acting as an agent of an employer, directly or indirectly."
Thus, the Tennessee statute against discrimination in the workplace applies to employers with eight or more employees, while Title VII only applies to employers with 15+ employees.
The Tennessee Human Rights Act specifically covers employment discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color, religion, sex, age or national origin.
The definition of "discriminatory practices" means, "any direct or indirect act or practice of exclusion, distinction, restriction, segregation, limitation, refusal, denial, or any other act or practice of differentiation or preference in the treatment of a person or persons because of race, creed, color, religion, sex, age or national origin."
Filing A Complaint
The Commission investigates complaints filed with it free of charge. Complaints under state law must be filed within 180 days of the date you became aware you were being discriminated against or the date of the alleged illegal act. You may file a complaint with the Commission by calling or visiting one of the four regional offices or mailing in a complaint form. The general information line is 1-800-251-3589.
An Employment Discrimination Questionnaire for the Human Rights Commission may be completed and mailed into the Human Rights Commission or taken with you when you visit a regional office.
Once you file a formal complaint with the Commission, the Commission will send your employer a letter and a copy of your complaint, stating that you believe you were/are being discriminated against. The employer will have an opportunity to respond to this complaint.
An investigator will be assigned to your case, who will investigate your claim by colleting all relevant information and interviewing potential witnesses. After the investigation is complete, the investigator will determine whether there is reasonable cause to believe you have been discriminated against and your rights violated.
If probable cause is found, you and your employer will be asked to attempt to negotiate a settlement through the Commission’s conciliation proceedings. If settlement negotiations fail, a public hearing will be held before a Commission-appointed Hearing Examiner. You may represent your own case, retain an attorney, or the case may be presented by a Commission staff attorney.
You may decide to go through the federal or state court process instead of the Commission’s investigative process. You must first file with the EEOC and request a Notice of Right to Sue in order to file in federal court. There is no "exhaustion" requirement for state law, which means that you can file your claim directly in state court. The attorney you hire will explain this process to you. State law does not limit compensatory damages (emotional pain/suffering), which are limited under federal law. However, state law does not allow for punitive damages, which are recoverable under federal law.
For more information and a more detailed explanation of the complaint process, please visit the Tennessee Human Rights Commission website.

Tonight's edition of ShoBox: The New Generation (10 pm EDT, Showtime) features a pair of legitimate and very interesting prospects from the Golden Boy Promotions stable, a quiet card flying a bit under the radar with tomorrow's Cotto-Martinez pay-per-view hogging the headlines, as well as the political upheaval over at Golden Boy in the front office, with Richard Schaefer resigning as CEO, and a murky future for everyone involved there.
But tonight on ShoBox, junior middleweights Hugo Centeno Jr and Eddie Gomez will look to make statements in the ring, where generally speaking, the nonsense that dogs boxing the majority of the time can melt away, at least for a little while.
Centeno (20-0, 11 KO) will face Gerardo Ibarra (14-0, 8 KO) in the main event, set for 10 rounds. Ibarra, a 23-year-old from Houston, Texas, is a short-notice replacement for Domonique Dolton, who suffered an injury in training camp. While that means this fight no longer has two hyped and familiar names in the prospect game, guys like Ibarra sometimes thrive when given an unexpected chance, and the 23-year-old Centeno is not taking him lightly, saying he's learned from past mistakes.
"This guy is definitely dangerous -- late replacements always are," Centeno said. "I've underestimated guys before because you might think they haven't had enough time to get ready for the fight, or you might not be ready for the type of style that they bring.
"But, for this training camp, I feel like we were training for every type of fighter. I had a lot of different sparring partners, such as Ruslan Provodnikov, Sergio Mora, Frankie Gomez and Glen Tapia. They are all different types of fighters and great caliber fighters. It was just great work.
"I know he's an aggressive boxer. He tries to be a little slick; he tries to bring the action and press forward. I feel like I'm prepared for what he has to bring to the table."
Ibarra says that this is the type of opportunity he's been waiting for, and that he, too, has good gym experience with known fighters."I was ready and training when we got the call for this fight. We moved from Houston to Los Angeles almost two months ago to get ready for an opportunity like this," said Ibarra. "I've been steadily training waiting for this chance. I came over to Los Angeles for an opportunity like this. I'm just ready to get in there and show what I can do.
"I wouldn't say he's my toughest test, but this is definitely my biggest opportunity. We'll find out in the ring if he's the biggest test yet."
He added, "I've been in the ring with a lot of different guys. I was in the ring with the Charlo brothers and Bryan Vera to help him get ready for the Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. fight. I feel ready; there is nothing I can't handle."
Centeno recently began working with Eric Brown, who trains out of Freddie Roach's Wild Card gym, after urging his father to retire from the training game.
"My dad had three heart surgeries and I told him it's just time to hang it up," he said. "Training me was really tough on his body and extremely stressful.
"We both chose Eric Brown together because we both thought he would go well with my style. He knows how to teach his fighter that killer instinct and he knows how to teach fighters to think for themselves. That's what we really liked about him and it's working really well."
In the co-feature, Gomez (16-0, 10 KO) of the Bronx will take on Francisco Santana (19-3-1, 9 KO) in another fight set for 10 rounds.
The 21-year-old Gomez has had a few problems outside the ring in his young career, but he's considered one of the most talented American prospects in the game today, and is a fighter Golden Boy has pushed as part of the future of their stable.
Santana is working on a winning streak, but Gomez was frankly dismissive of his opponent when asked about him this week.
"When I saw his record and the guys that he faced, I only saw two fighters that are like me, that are hungry and looking to be world champs: Jermell Charlo and Karim Mayfield," Gomez said. "And those are two young guys that he lost to. It just shows you that the guy is used to losing. Off the two losses to Karim and one to Charlo, it shows you that when he had to face a guy who was undefeated and young and hungry, he didn't know what to do.
"His seven-fight win streak doesn't impress me at all. He fought two guys, Freddy Hernandez, who is on his way out, he's done, and Joachim Alcine, who also is done. They're not in their prime anymore and they aren't hungry for the sport the way that I am. He beat them, yes, but they aren't impressive fighters to me."
Santana returned a bit of a trash talk volley, saying, "He doesn't have anything I haven't seen before. We're both two fighters with two hands and all it takes is one punch to win the fight."
Santana believes that Gomez is expecting to overpower him and walk out with an easy win, but says he's not going to make it that easy.
"Whether he is tested or untested, right now my will and my determination to keep climbing to the top is above and beyond," Santana said. "I think I'm in a good spot. Obviously he's a pretty young kid and I'm sure he's thinking he's just going to out-power me, but I'm going to prove him wrong tomorrow night."
Gomez said, "I don't feel like he's my toughest test. The toughest test for me is when I'm in the gym, when I'm putting in the work and I'm in there training. Even on days when I don't feel like going to the gym, I give it that extra push. Those are my toughest opponents. I wouldn't be here at 16-0 if I had opponents who were tougher than me and I didn't take care of them in the ring."
Added Santana, "On paper I don't have more power, but I know I can pack a punch. I've faced the bigger guys, junior middleweights and middleweights, so I know that I can end the fight with one punch."

Nurse Infected With Coronavirus Gets Major Surprise From Jennifer Aniston
While our healthcare workers are going above and beyond to do their best against the coronavirus pandemic, it’s important to take the time to celebrate them. Jennifer Aniston and Jimmy Kimmel led by example when they surprised a nurse who has been infected and self-isolated.
Healthcare workers at the front lines of the battle against the coronavirus pandemic are the heroes of the world right now. They are putting their lives and families at risk to save ours. Many go through this fight while self-isolating too.
Recently, Jimmy Kimmel and Jennifer Aniston heard about Kimball Fairbanks , a cardiovascular nurse from St. George, Utah, who had been caring for COVID-19 patients, until she ended up catching the virus herself.
It only took one patient
Kimball shared a powerful Instagram post telling the story of how she found out she had the virus. She had been taking care of a patient who ended up being positive. As she emphasizes “because someone had chosen to travel instead of staying home” she also fell prey to the virus.
She shared that she had been feeling like she had been “hit by a train.” When she got tested, the results was positive. While she has not been hit hard by the virus, unlike the many unfortunate others who have either succumbed to it or felt more serious symptoms, self-isolation has been most difficult for her.
Self-isolation meant that she could not be with her two children, a 4-year-old and an 18-month-old, both girls for fear of infecting them. Additionally, it also prevents her from helping during this pandemic, as her colleagues are still struggling with the rising numbers of cases.
A surprise despite self-isolation
Kimball’s story soon caught the attention of Jimmy Kimmel, who invited her to his show so she could share her story. However, she had no idea that she would be getting a surprise from no other than Jennifer Aniston.
Jennifer joined the video chat to Kimball’s great surprise and had a touching message to address to her.
I just have to say, God bless you and all of you that are out there doing what you’re doing. You’re just phenomenal.Jennifer Aniston on Jimmy Kimmel
Aniston and Kimmel didn’t stop there though. They decided to help out the woman who can’t even cook her own meals right now with a $10,000 gift card to Postmates.
Yet, they had an even greater surprise. Kimball is not the only one affected by this crisis so they extended the gift to the other nurses who work with her.
And, on top of that, Postmates has generously offered to give gift cards to all the nurses on your floor there, so that they can order, too, on the rare occasion that they get to go home and rest.Jimmy Kimmel
Kimball is looking forward to rejoining the hospital force
The gift made Fairbanks smile, as did the prospect of her self-isolation ending and being able to see her children again. And one other thing, she is looking forward to returning to work, to help people once again.
Kimball is only one example of many who have shown that their profession is more than a livelihood to them. They have gone above and beyond to ensure that their patients are taken care of, despite the difficult working conditions, the crazy length of their shifts and the lack of protective equipment.
The least we can do is to listen to their advice.
