ball jointed doll
Creativity is positive
Being creative is changing your life in a positive way. Moreover, homemade and thought-out things enrich not only your own life, but also your environment. “It gives you a great feeling if you have created something that you can be proud of,” says Rineke.
“I needed to do something completely different. It was a challenge for me to make a Ball Jointed Doll, a doll that consists of many parts and that you can move through ball joints. The doll is made of clay. You thread all parts together with elastic and it becomes a lifelike being. You can put the doll in all sorts of poses and make it up to your own taste, wear a wig and dress it up. Because I had so many notes, I decided, while I was making the doll, to write a book about it in Dutch and English, so that others can make such a special doll. How to make a Ball Jointed Doll is, as far as we know, the only book about making a BJD. “The doll can be seen during the Big Hobby and Crea Market, next to the book.
Address: Meidoornkade 24, 3992 AE Houten. Open from 19: 00 – 16:30. Admission € 4.50, children up to 12 years and 65+ free. Good free parking options.
I made earrings from the clay that remained. They can also be admired and bought here. New creativity and opportunities to take new paths again. I also show some small paintings on this Great Hobby and Crea Market. Creativity is an ongoing process, especially if you occasionally take new paths. In doing so, it brought back my sense of painting and my imagination got going again. I am now busy making paintings of Mathilde Willink for Mathildeday 7-7-2018 in Terneuzen. That’s the day she would have turned 80 if she had been alive. ”
Elly van Wolferen-Klerkx: “I followed 6 years of classes with Rineke de Jong. It was a very pleasant and especially instructive time and the results may be there. I have learned a lot like applying different painting techniques and also working with other materials and other types of paint. I am quite proud of the paintings that I have been able to make, thanks to her good and strong instructions. I can certainly recommend Rineke to others as a teacher. When I look at her paintings, I see great craftsmanship. Her work really appeals to me and is certainly unique. Rineke is also very diverse with other art such as the manufacturing of dolls. See also the book she has written about this. “
Tjerk van de Witte: “The assignment to paint a portrait of my wife, by painter Rineke de Jong, arose after a very serious illness of my wife. I would like to have a memory of her from our starting period. I gave the painter the freedom to express her own expression and feeling in the portrait. She has realized a beautiful colorful portrait from a black and white photo from the sixties. Every day it gives me a feeling of happiness when I see it. Thank you Rineke. I would definitely recommend you to others. “
Peter de Jongh: “You have two sides, an esoteric and the earthy side, that makes it interesting to follow you.” My preference has everything to do with how I am and feel or maybe how you have been mangled over time. and kneaded, because in the end life does not pass unnoticed by you, your earthy side, the paintings of earthy fruits and vegetables, most appeals to me, often quiet and small, and that is why I have bought art from this side of you. About your esoteric paintings, I find that it clearly shows how great your drawing skills are, and how well you can bring movement / motion into your paintings, I would certainly recommend to someone else. “

A Thousand Years Of Separation~Today, I Shall Be The Villainess~(WN) Chapter 2
I felt guilty for burdening father, but this was a whole different story—the relationship Father was trying to ensure was unacceptable for plexion turned a little ashen.
…Well, what do you think?
"Don't worry, I'e troublesoes might be in store for Hannah as well, but I was sure it'll be alright in the end—she was just doing her job, after all.
From the bottom of my heart, I laughed.
If he whom I loved once—whom once loved me—hated me with that appearance and utterly despised me …
…then finally, I might be able to move on.
This way, the curse might end.
This way, I'll be able to hate him for good.
Thinking of such a thing, the mirror showed me my twisted, wicked expression; reflecting my heart which was as vile—like evil witch in fairy tale.

When Do You Decide That The Book You Are Reading Is Not For You?
I am a patient reader. I don't say this with the air of a proud man, it is just that I am patient with the books that I read as I allow them to have their problems. I try to understand their story and to see the bigger picture, before I judge them. And I try to give them a chance to prove themselves until I turn the last page. I don't skim, I try to capture the spirit of the book by reading each and every word. It may not be the smartest thing, because time is the most precious asset when it comes to reading, but I've very rarely stopped reading a book right in the middle.

What is your nickname? We all have one, or two, or three, or maybe more. Poppy's nickname is Pot Pie.
Does that mean that she is a pot pie?

What would you do if someone wrapped you up for lunch?

I'm just a silly, fierce girl figuring this out as I go.

You told me to remember my roots and that which I once was.
As there is nothing else but a shadow, a dictation, a figment of the Human Being hiding beneath the pretense of fear.
Why, you ask, are you simply unable to release your heart from the prison that you have found yourself within?
You as the captive and captor, you do not know where to begin the journey to find yourself where you were when you ultimately began.
Do you hold a plan, a master key possibly?
For the truth is hidden amongst the stars, ever so distant yet plain to see that you are all that has ever been and all that will ever be.
Now cast a spell of invisibility.
Fade away into the ethereal shadows and taunt your barbaric idiocracy, the state of mind that you have now conquered and now look back upon in embarrassment and hesitancy.
For we remember it, do we not, although it causes a knot in our stomach every time we believe that we have forgotten, for we have not lost we have simply evolved, we have risen past the ways that used to hold us back from our true cause.
Our cause is our purpose, our purpose is the torch, our spirit is the ember that shall give rise to a blazing fire, lighting the way upon our disenchanted and dark path, the light allows us to rise farther and farther past the demise of our latest session of negligence.
Through the tip of the spear, death occurs.
Once we make it past this segment, life rises as it never has before.
Life, the warrior, and healer in one is the greatest simulation that we are capable of experiencing as energetic forces caressing the spectrum of consciousness.
There is no mistake.
There is no question.
That you, oh sweet familial one, are here for a purpose that is suited to a discretion. Rise to meet it.
Serve us all and serve yourself.
For the reason of existence is simply understanding through decisions that enable you to be of assistance to yourself, the elder and newborn whelp.
I’ll see you on the other side figment, and do not hide.
For the more you close your eyes to reality, the clearer it is to acknowledge that you, yourself are not willing to abide by your own law, that which was set before you.
To enforce gratitude, patience, and unity, that is the true virtue. Love is the driving force, allow it to guide you.
Brothers and sisters, continue along the right path. The one that sings within your heart. Thanks for reading, share with those that would enjoy in turn, your social media, you never know when someone could truly use these words like you may have. Sending you Light through Love,


I want to ask you for something, and I promise that I won’t ask for this but once per year.
If you ever find yourself riding shotgun with me in the car, there’s a strong chance I’ll be listening to a podcast. It’s one of my favorite forms of media, and I use it for entertainment, news, sports, and general mind-expansion. The Podcasts app on my iPhone might be the most commonly opened app.
Take a glance at my subscribed podcasts and you will probably notice a theme: I like NPR. Half of what I listen to are NPR programs, with my favorites being the TED Radio Hour, Serial, and This American Life. I’ll also tune into Marketplace, Morning Edition, Ask Me Another, Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!, Car Talk, and Invisibilia if the mood strikes. The breadth of their programs is remarkable.
If any of y’all have listened to NPR, whether on the radio or a podcast, you’ll likely be familiar with their funding model. A significant portion of annual funding comes from the general public, and NPR is not shy in asking for it. I don’t blame them, considering that providing free media content isn’t cost-free.

BUFFALO, N.Y., July 29 (UPI) -- A New York health insurer says it will institute coverage of same-sex couples married in Canada as a result of a civil rights lawsuit.
The New York Civil Liberties Union announced Monday that Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Western New York, based in Buffalo, will begin extending spousal benefits to legally married same-sex couples, Canwest News Service reported.
The decision comes after the group filed suit in the case of a lesbian couple from the United States who were married in Canada.
"We applaud Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Western New York for following the law and treating all married couples the same," Donna Lieberman, NYCLU executive director, told CanWest in a statement.
Same-sex marriage is illegal in New York, but the couple had traveled to Canada to be legally married in 2006, the news service said.

Helpforce's response to the Government's new initiative that aims to expand the NHS Volunteer Responders programme into social care
7th June 2023
Following the announcement today (7th June, 23) from Care Minister Helen Whateley MP on expanding the NHS Volunteer Responders Programme into social care, Mark Lever, Helpforce Chief Executive, said:
“Volunteers are already playing a vital role in speeding up patient discharge, assisting with post operation care, and reducing hospital readmissions. This new initiative announced today by the Government is a brilliant opportunity not only to increase the number of volunteers supporting more people in the local communities, but also enable volunteers to be a link between health and care settings and services, helping to ensure happier, healthier and more connected communities.
"Volunteers cannot replace social care workers, but through volunteering, more people can have the opportunity to explore careers in care, as we have seen how NHS volunteers have joined healthcare workforce following Helpforce’s Volunteer to Career programme - which introduced 73% of volunteers into a career or further education in the health and care sector in its first year of launch.
"While volunteers do not take away from the current social care recruitment and retention crisis, they can help ease pressure on healthcare workers, giving staff time to focus on providing high quality care for people with more complex needs.”

Flood damage continues to increase in the United States, despite extensive flood management efforts. To address the problem of increasing damage, accurate data are needed on costs and vulnerability associated with flooding. Unfortunately, the available records of historical flood damage do not provide the detailed information needed for policy evaluation, scientific analysis, and disaster mitigation planning. This study is a reanalysis of flood damage estimates collected by the National Weather Service (NWS) between 1925 and 2000. The NWS is the only organization that has maintained a long-term record of flood damage throughout the U.S. The NWS data are estimates of direct physical damage due to flooding that results from rainfall or snowmelt. They are obtained from diverse sources, compiled soon after each flood event, and not verified by comparison with actual expenditures. Therefore, a primary objective of the study was to examine the scope, accuracy, and consistency of the NWS damage estimates to improve the data sets and offer recommendations on how they can be appropriately used and interpreted.

Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One who's ever been chosen.
That's what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he's probably right.
Half the time, Simon can't even make his wand work, and the other half, he starts something on fire. His mentor's avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and there's a magic-eating monster running around, wearing Simon's face. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here -- it's their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and Simon's infuriating nemesis didn't even bother to show up.
Carry On - The Rise and Fall of Simon Snow is a ghost story, a love story and a mystery. It has just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect from a Rainbow Rowell story - but far, far more monsters.

Is a Draco fully auto?
The Draco is a semi-automatic pistol made by Romanian manufacturer Cugir and imported to the States by firearm manufacturer Century Arms, which began producing the gun itself in 2017. … A gun of limited accuracy, it is not a range or hunting weapon; instead it is designed for close-quarters use.
Are 3 round burst triggers legal?

Does bolt carrier group affect accuracy?
The bolt affects accuracy in an AR-15 more than the carrier group. To get the most accuracy, the bolt and barrel have to be machined so that the headspacing is optimal when the round is chambered and the bolt locked. … The bolt affects accuracy in an AR-15 more than the carrier group.
Can you use an m16 bolt carrier in an AR 15?
M16: M16 bolt carrier groups work in both M16s and AR 15s. In fact, an M16 or full auto BCG is the most common form of BCG on the market. First and foremost a full auto rated M16 bolt carrier group cannot make your gun full auto.
Why is an AK 47 so dangerous?
Because the weapon is shoulder-mounted, its accuracy is substantial. The standard bullet, a 7.62x39mm, is highly lethal as it can travel up to 400 meters. The common AK-47 magazine holds 30 rounds and is flat with a curve in it to allow the bullets to feed properly.
Which is better ak47 or m16?
When it comes to accuracy, the M16 is a much more accurate weapon than the AK-47. M16 has less recoil and it is a much smoother-operating weapon which means it can be easier controlled during full-auto fire. The recoil of the M16 moves the weapon very little due to its internal design and the 5.56 mm caliber.
Do Navy Seals use AK 47s?
During the Vietnam War the Navy Seals used a Chinese copy of the AK-47 for a variety of reasons. … Because of this there is some evidence that the Seal teams used/trained with these weapons (and because its impossible to simulate personal choice for infantry weapons) they were given the AK as their primary weapon.
What is the difference between full auto and semi auto?
Semi-automatic means that once you have a round in the firing chamber, when you pull the trigger, that round will fire. … Fully automatic means that once a round is loaded into the chamber, if you pull and hold the trigger, the firearm will continue to fire until you let go of the trigger or run out of ammunition.
Can you use a full auto bolt carrier in a semi auto?
As for the answer to your question, a Full auto Carrier should work fine in a semi-auto AR. Its got a little more metal than a semi carrier, which increases the weight and will slow the dwell time.
Is a drop in auto sear legal?
ATF Ruling 81-4 In 1981, the ATF issued a ruling that an AR-15 drop in auto sear in and of itself was considered a machine gun part and simple possession of it was illegal unless registered as a machine gun. Most importantly they also ruled that DIAS’ made before November 1, 1981 were legal to own.

Can I buy a full auto trigger group?
Even JP Enterprise states they do not recommend buying their full auto BCG even though legally they have no way to deny it to you. It’s like a short barrel upper.

- The conditions during the second quarter of the year have largely been a continuation of what we experienced during the first quarter, with a long list of exogenous factors continuing to weigh on the market, including persistent inflation, tightening monetary policy, and ongoing supply chain issues.
- During the quarter, consumer discretionary, information technology, and health care companies have been broadly punished amid a backdrop of rising rates, valuation resets, and waning consumer confidence, which impacted the Portfolio. The three smallest absolute detractors for the period were ADP, CSL, and Starbucks. The three largest absolute detractors were Alphabet, Amazon, and Align Technology.
- We exited our position in Netflix and added to our positions in ADP, Amazon, and Siemens Healthineers in the second quarter of 2022.
- The recent market drawdown seems indiscriminate, but we expect fundamentals to eventually come back into focus. When we combine our ongoing expectations for mid-teens earnings per share growth from the Portfolio with what we believe are now very reasonable valuations, we are optimistic despite the many exogenous factors that are weighing on the market today.

Have you settled for a relationship that is “less than” what you truly deserve and desire? Have you tried getting some help but have given up because whatever you tried didn’t work? Are you simply tolerating the emotional pain and chaos because you don’t know what else to do?
Dr. Hawkins talks about how to save your marriage with an intervention. If you are ready to stop coping with your pain and do something about it, watch the video to find out what is needed to disrupt your current situation and create real change.
How to Save Your Marriage With An Intervention
Marriage is often portrayed as a bed of roses, but for many couples, it can turn into a thorny path filled with pain and emotional turmoil. Dr. David Hawkins, director of the Marriage Recovery Center, specializes in helping couples facing narcissistic and emotional abuse and highly conflicted marriages. In this article, we will explore how couples often tolerate extensive pain in their relationships, the role of denial in perpetuating this pain, and the concept of intervention as a potential solution to heal broken marriages.
Tolerating Pain: The Denial Dilemma
Dr. Hawkins begins by addressing a troubling reality – couples often tolerate a significant amount of emotional pain within their relationships. This pain may manifest in various forms, from emotional abuse to narcissistic behavior, and it can be endured for a multitude of reasons. The key factor contributing to this tolerance, according to Dr. Hawkins, is denial.
Both partners, the perpetrator, and the victim, tend to engage in denial. The perpetrator often denies their actions, deflects blame, rationalizes, and justifies their behavior. On the other hand, the victim may also be in denial, hoping for change but enduring the pain nonetheless. This cycle of denial perpetuates the suffering within the relationship.
Understanding Emotional Abuse
Dr. Hawkins labels emotional abuse as a “responsibility deficit disorder.” This term implies that emotional abusers often fail to take responsibility for their actions, refusing to acknowledge their role in perpetuating pain within the relationship. This lack of accountability is a significant hurdle to healing.
Victims, too, play a role in this dynamic by tolerating the abuse. They may do so due to a desire for change, low self-esteem, or fear of the consequences of confronting their partner. This complex interplay of denial and tolerance creates a breeding ground for unhealthy relationships.
The Quest for Intervention
The path to healing, according to Dr. Hawkins, lies in intervention. He emphasizes that couples must assess the level of change required to salvage their marriage. Different relationships require varying degrees of intervention, and recognizing this is crucial.
Levels of Intervention
Dr. Hawkins draws parallels between mental health intervention and medical intervention. Just as there are over-the-counter remedies, primary care consultations, and intensive hospital care in the medical field, there are different levels of intervention for troubled marriages.
- Self-Help and Resources: Like over-the-counter medicine, some couples may benefit from self-help resources such as books, online courses, or relationship workshops. These can provide valuable insights and tools to address minor issues.
- Professional Guidance: Similar to a primary care physician visit, consulting with a qualified therapist or counselor can be instrumental in addressing moderate relationship challenges. These professionals can help couples navigate their issues and work toward resolution.
- Marriage Intensives: In cases where a significant amount of change is required, marriage intensives or extensive counseling sessions may be necessary. These programs are designed to delve deep into complex issues and offer intensive support.
- Inpatient Programs (As a Last Resort): Just as severe medical conditions require hospitalization, severely damaged marriages might necessitate more intensive inpatient programs. These programs offer intensive, structured interventions designed to disrupt unhealthy patterns and promote change.
Tailored Approaches for Healing
For couples dealing with emotionally abusive and highly conflicted marriages, a one-size-fits-all approach simply does not work. Dr. Hawkins recommends starting with a comprehensive marriage evaluation to determine the extent of the issues at hand.
At the Marriage Recovery Center, they employ a tiered approach to intervention, recognizing that both partners may need different levels of support. This approach involves tailored programs for the perpetrator and the victim, addressing their specific needs and facilitating healing.
Conclusion: Seek Help for a Healthier Future
Couples facing highly conflicted marriages and emotional abuse should not simply endure the pain and suffering in silence. Dr. David Hawkins’ insights emphasize the importance of intervention at the appropriate level to break the cycle of denial and facilitate healing.
If you find yourself in such a challenging marriage, consider seeking professional help. Reach out to the Marriage Recovery Center or other qualified therapists who specialize in addressing emotional abuse and high-conflict relationships. There is hope for healing and building a healthier future, but it starts with acknowledging the need for intervention and taking the necessary steps toward change.
Remember, you don’t have to navigate this difficult journey alone. Seeking help is the first step towards saving your marriage and finding the happiness and harmony you deserve.

The shock was all the greater because, just a few days earlier, the government had expressed confidence that foreign exchange reserves of $193 billion would allow the country to weather the storm caused by a fall in oil prices.
Just six months later, reports show that the prime minister was right.
During the first seven months of 2015, the country's external revenues declined by 42 per cent. Earnings from hydrocarbon sales abroad - 94 per cent of all foreign earnings - totalled $21.6 billion, compared with $37.2 billion in the same period in 2014.
Overall, exports during this period declined by 40 per cent to $22.9 billion, while imports only declined by 10.3 per cent to $31 billion, leaving a trade deficit of $8 billion, compared with a trade surplus of $4 billion during the same period the previous year.
The problem is compounded by the fact that Algeria's hydrocarbon production is static or declining - but domestic consumption is rising, thus leaving ever less for export to earn the money that keeps the economy afloat.
Thus, in 2014, Algeria consumed 395,000 of the 1.5 million barrels of oil it produced a day, leaving about 1.1 million for export. Three years earlier, the country consumed 350,000 of the 1.6 million bpd it produced, leaving less for export.
Sales of gas tell the same story; 83.3 billion cubic metres were produced in 2014 against domestic consumption of 37.5 billion cubic meters, compared with 82.7 billion cubic metres produced and 27.8 cubic metres consumed in 2011.
|Algeria's hydrocarbon production is static or declining but domestic consumption is rising|
Although the government wants to start a fracking programme to improve production, domestic opposition is so fierce that it is unlikely to occur in the near term.
The oil price, meanwhile, has continued on its downward path. In the 12 months following July 2014, prices for Algeria's oil have declined from $110 a barrerl to $54. They declined further, to $45 per barrel, by August.
Gas is sold on long-term contracts but linked to oil prices, meaning a fall in prices is inevitible.
One result of these figures has been that they caused a decline of $19 billion in Algeria's all-important foreign reserves in the first four months of this year.
In fact, the actual decline in the financial reserves total has been also due to the domestic demands upon them.
The government's subsidy policies on essential foodstuffs and domestic energy - equivalent to 30 per cent of national GDP - have meant that, from a level of $193.3 billion at the end of June 2014, they stood at only $160 billion at the end of March this year.
That implies a decline of about $44.5 billion over a full year - but in reality, as oil prices continue to slide, that figure is more likely to become closer to $57 billion. At that rate, they will only last for three more years.
There are other problems, too. Algeria's import bill declined, not so much because of the country's restraint but because the euro declined in value against the dollar by some 15 percent. About 40 per cent of Algeria's imports come from Europe.
Indeed, despite the Algerian government's promises to restrict imports, these ambitions are likely to be no more than vain delusions. Import substitution is no longer a viable option - domestic manufacturing capacity has fallen from 30 per cent of GDP in 2000 to five percent today.
Beyond that, too, Algeria depends on its ability to import cereals to feed its growing population. The cost of cereal imports over the first half of 2015 rose by seven per cent in value, to $1.9 billion for a total of 6.9 million tonnes -or about 20 per cent more by weight than in the first half of 2014, when only 5.9 million tonnes were imported.

- Morocco, more than a summer retreat for the Saudis
- Libya, peace at hand?
What is to be done?
Since Opec has rejected cutting production - the option that Algeria prefers but Saudi Arabia rejects - oil prices will not rise in the near future. One possibility is to raise capital through a bond issue, as Saudi Arabia has done, but the government opposes increasing foreign debt.
Another would be "austerity" - and the government has already delayed major infrastructure projects. This, however, will only marginally improve public finances next year.
A third option is to allow the Algerian dinar to depreciate, as proposed by the new finance minister, Abderrahmane Benkhalfa. Imports then become more expensive and, presumably, reduce demand. But a similar policy in the 1980s led to riots, and consequently the civil war.
There are fears that that would happen again. It might yet reoccur, for the dinar has already depreciated by 11 per cent this year, though most economists consider that it should be far lower, at $1 = AD130-to-140, compared with AD79 in June last year.
In reality, Algeria has no easy options and is about to become the archetypical victim of "oil curse" and being a high capital absorber.
It is a fate that also threatens Iraq and Iran, and underlines the fact that it is economics and globalisation, rather than politics and extremism, that ultimately determines the future of the Middle East and North Africa.

Trauma is a thing in life that happens to anyone. Trauma is not just about physical injury you know. It can be anything that changes you. Makes you go left instead of right. Makes you choose the people you befriend and the people who you tend to stay away from. Trauma changes you. It molds you into a different you.
Every one has had some type of trauma in their life. And ultimately, every one will have some type of trauma in their life. Its kind of expected isn’t it? I mean, imagine if you walked around the world and never experienced a trauma. You would think the world is pure and golden, and that nothing can happen to it. That there is no tragic flaw with the world, its reality, or its beautiful creatures.
Some time this year, I myself experienced a trauma. Not a physical one, but a mental one. A guy I was dating. It wasn’t always that bad with him you know. We only went on four dates. Innocent stuff. Movies and bowling. He told me of a trauma that he had suffered with other women that he had dated. And being the empathetic person I was, I felt sorry for him, and thought that I could change his perception on women. I was so terribly wrong. While we were never intimate or in a relationship (we only went on four dates), he tried to ruin my life. He put my personal information on websites and told people (men) that I was something me and him both knew I wasn’t. I thank god that I had such a huge support system to get me through my trauma. But like any trauma, I still have the scars.
A month after my trauma, I was left a few pounds heavier and mentally exhausted. I say this because I know I left such a huge gap in my blog posts. I felt like he took something away from me, even though hes the one that went to jail for what he did to me. Oh yea, I made him pay. I say this to motivate the people that read my blogs. The world can be a pretty ugly place. But, we must embrace it for what it is and live and love the life we have.

The Virginia men’s basketball team’s season ended in heartbreaking fashion Saturday night as the Cavaliers lost to Ohio 62-58 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Bloomington, Indiana.
The ACC regular-season champions experienced tremendous success this season, picking up clutch victories and finishing atop the conference standings. The Cavaliers also experienced heartbreaking losses and impactful issues with COVID-19. The team spent much of the week before Saturday’s loss in quarantine because of a positive test within the team.
In the end, the Cavaliers’ season ended on a sour note, but head coach Tony Bennett was proud of his team’s effort during one of the most unusual seasons in college basketball history.
“I just thanked the old guys that put as much as they could into this program,” Bennett said. “I said, ‘You’ll remember your ACC regular-season championship. That’s a big deal, and you’ll also remember getting beat in this tournament, but nothing to hang your head about.’”
Here are three takeaways from the Cavaliers’ season-ending loss.
Emotional highs and lows
Virginia’s Justin McKoy tested positive for COVID-19 following the team’s ACC Tournament game against Syracuse. As a result, UVa wondered if it would even be able to play in the NCAA Tournament.
The Cavaliers were able to play, although the preparation leading up to the event was far from ideal. Virginia wasn’t able to practice as a team until Friday, once it cleared COVID-19 protocols. The team then traveled to Indianapolis and had to clear additional COVID-19 protocols to play Saturday night in Bloomington, Indiana.
Bennett and his team were thrilled for the chance to compete in the event. They knew it wasn’t perfect preparation, but they were happy to be included after a stressful few days leading up to the tournament.
As VCU’s shocking exit Saturday due to COVID-19 protocols showed, no games were guaranteed this season.
Heartbreak arrived Saturday night for UVa, but it came on the court.
Virginia fought hard against Ohio, but the scrappy mid-major program made the necessary shots in the clutch moments to defeat the reigning national champions. The Cavaliers had chances to win, but they didn’t play their best.
It was an emotional week and a half for Virginia that began with a buzzer-beating win over Syracuse in the ACC Tournament. After the positive COVID-19 test, the team was uncertain whether it would play in the Big Dance. It did, but lost a close game to a talented mid-major foe.
The ending wasn’t what Virginia wanted, but the Cavaliers were grateful their season ended on the court.
“That’s where you want to be able to end your season is in the tournament,” redshirt senior forward Sam Hauser said.
Rough shooting after layoff
Normally an elite shooting team, UVa’s jumpers looked off Saturday night. The Cavaliers, who were only able to practice once as a team before Saturday’s game, struggled from all over the court.
Often, UVa relied on 3-point shot attempts. Unfortunately for the Cavaliers, the shots didn’t fall.
Virginia made eight of its 31 shots from beyond the arc, shooting just 25.8% from beyond the arc. The team only shot 35% from the field for the entire game. Redshirt seniors Sam Hauser and Jay Huff made just eight of their 27 shots, including a 2-for-14 mark from beyond the 3-point line.
“You can’t make any excuse for not being able to make shots,” Hauser said.
It was an ugly shooting performance for Virginia, which doesn’t come as a complete shock following the team’s lengthy COVID-19 pause. Bennett wouldn’t blame the poor shooting on the break, though.
“Ohio played a better game,” Bennett said. “When they needed to make the plays, they made the plays and we left some on the table.”
UVa’s ultimate undoing was a stretch of just over 10 minutes in the second half when it failed to make a shot from the field. UVa led 38-31 after a made layup with 14:35 left. UVa trailed 47-42 after finally making another field goal with 4:27 remaining.
Ohio’s stars do just enough
UVa’s shooting was subpar, but Ohio’s wasn’t much better.
The Bobcats made just 42% of their shots Saturday, but they delivered in clutch moments. Ben Vander Plas, a forward named after Tony Bennett’s father, Dick, went 7-for-15 from the field and scored 17 points. He also added five rebounds and four assists.
“He’s a great player, man,” Hauser said. “He’s crafty. He’s deceiving. He’s got a really good shot fake. And obviously you saw he has really deep range, and he made a couple bombs tonight. Hats off to him, man, he’s good.”
Ohio also received a massive lift from their best player, Jason Preston. The junior guard came through with 11 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists. He made four of his seven shots and was the team’s floor general in the victory.
Preston and Vander Plas did just enough to propel Ohio to the victory. The team’s stars came through in clutch moments and helped the program pick up a signature win in the NCAA Tournament.

Crossed-aldol Reactant Control
The problem of "control" in the aldol addition is best demonstrated by an example. Consider the outcome of this hypothetical reaction:
In this reaction, two unsymmetrical ketones are being condensed using sodium ethoxide. The basicity of sodium ethoxide is such that it cannot fully deprotonate either of the ketones, but can produce small amounts of the sodium enolate of both ketones. This means that, in addition to being potential aldol electrophiles, both ketones may also act as nucleophiles via their sodium enolate. Two electrophiles and two nucleophiles, then, have potential to result in four possible products:
Thus, if one wishes to obtain only one of the cross-products, one must control which carbonyl becomes the nucleophilic enol/enolate and which remains in its electrophilic carbonyl form.
Read more about this topic: Aldol Reaction
Other articles related to "control":
... then add the other partner under kinetic control ... Kinetic control means that the forward aldol addition reaction must be significantly faster than the reverse retro-aldol reaction ... Common kinetic control conditions involve the formation of the enolate of a ketone with LDA at −78 °C, followed by the slow addition of an aldehyde ...
Famous quotes containing the word control:
“The awareness that health is dependent upon habits that we control makes us the first generation in history that to a large extent determines its own destiny.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

Thanks Dad: New Evidence on Son Preference among Immigrant Households in the U.S.
36 Pages Posted: 13 Jun 2019
Date Written: May 30, 2019
This paper provides new evidence on the acquisition and persistence of child gender preference among immigrant populations in the United States using Census and ACS data. We first confirm existing evidence of son preference among immigrant populations from South East Asia documented across multiple studies and samples. We then demonstrate several new empirical findings. First, Japanese immigrants exhibit daughter preference. Second, assortative matching between immigrant parents is associated with stronger gender preferences. Third, comparing male and female migrants who marry natives provides suggestive evidence that paternal preferences could be more to blame for son preference than maternal. Fourth, child gender preferences are strongest for migrants who arrive after childhood but do not appear to diminish with duration of residence in the U.S. Finally, while higher order generations exhibit weaker son preference, there is a high degree of heterogeneity across groups most second and higher order generation immigrants assimilate more rapidly to U.S. norms except Indian immigrant populations which exhibit strong son preference among higher-order generations.

When the economy slumps and state budgets take a beating, college students and their families always seem to be first to feel the pain.
Even in lean years, the public views spending on health, public safety and infrastructure as non-negotiable. And during hard times, elected officials respect the clout of the K-12 education lobby. This exposes higher education as a target for cost-cutting.
Predictably, that's the direction most states are headed. In Washington state, lawmakers are considering funding cuts of up to 20% for colleges and universities. Florida institutions may hike tuition by as much as 15%. The California State University network is one of the largest public university systems in the nation and is poised to cut enrollment by 10,000 students.
But while this has been the customary state-level response to fiscal crisis, it is not a viable strategy for economic competitiveness.
Times have changed. The nation's long-term prosperity hinges on its ability to educate many more of its people to higher levels than ever before. Across the country, employers already face shortages of well-trained graduates in areas such as the sciences and nursing. A high school diploma no longer guarantees anything close to a living wage. What's more, the best-educated generation in the nation's history, 78 million strong, is nearing retirement age. Other nations are rapidly expanding their higher education systems, chipping away at our comparative advantage in the global economy.
Unfortunately, states are faltering in their efforts to get students into and through college. New data from our group indicate that nationally, small gains in college preparation are being offset by declines in high school graduation. Gains in enrollment of young adults are being countered by declines in enrollment of older adults. Degree completion rates have improved slightly but are still poor. The burden of paying for college has grown significantly heavier for students and families, as family incomes and financial aid programs have failed to keep pace with tuition and other costs. Student loan borrowing has doubled in just 10 years.
Perhaps most troubling: The odds of getting a college education depend more on geography, income, race and ethnicity than on ability and effort. For example, in Arizona, white young adults are twice as likely to be enrolled in college as their Latino peers. In the president-elect's home state of Illinois, white undergraduates are nearly twice as likely to finish a bachelor's degree in six years as an African American undergraduate. Because our nation's population is becoming more diverse, closing these gaps is not just a moral imperative--it is an economic imperative.
It is time to consider real policy change. States need to reward colleges for graduating students, not just enrolling them. Federal and state governments must collaborate with colleges and universities to simplify financial aid programs and refocus them to provide money to the students who need it. Colleges and universities need to present opportunities rather than obstacles for working adults and students who transfer from community colleges. Perhaps most importantly, we need to start talking about how we spend our higher education dollars, not just how much we have or would like to have.
Even in hard times, the nation can do much more to ensure that colleges and universities meet the needs of students, communities and local industries. But it will require our elected leaders to choose the difficult path of real reform, rather than giving campuses tacit consent to take the easy road yet again, raising tuition and cutting enrollment instead of rethinking priorities.

At the end of June, Terrico White's contract with Radnicki Kragujevac in Serbia will expire, and he won't be returning. The former 36th overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft will once again set his sights on securing a roster spot in the NBA, and hope to prove to NBA executives that his highly touted speed and athleticism still remain, along with other improved areas of his game.
If one were to connect the dots, White's contract expiring at the end of June, will allow the former Ole Miss standout to play in NBA Summer League, however, that has not been confirmed yet. White has played in Summer League twice before, once for Detroit, and last season with the Los Angeles Clippers. He has averaged 9.2 points and 2.4 rebounds in 24.0 minutes through 10 total NBA Summer League games in his career.
White is coming off a successful run in Serbia where he averaged 14.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. More importantly, White appears to be healthy, something that has not always been the case for the 23-year-old following a devastating foot injury in his first career NBA preseason game. However, White's decision to play overseas heading right into the summer, could be perfect timing for White to showcase his talents once again.
In the 2011-2012 season, White played 18 games in the NBADL and averaged 25.0 minutes for the Idaho Stampede. He averaged 13.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists while shooting 40% from beyond the arc. White displayed his true impact during a 7-game stretch where he scored in double digits each game (17.4 ppg) and averaged 4.2 rebounds in 30.7 minutes. During his time in Idaho, White demonstrated that he can be much more than simply a high-flyer. Although, his incredible leaping ability has been an attribute that has impressed fans and executives over his career.
In fact, while White was a member of the Stampede he was invited to participate in the 2012 NBA D-League Slam Dunk Contest, but had to withdraw due to an injury. Some of White's above the rim work can be viewed below.
White will look to carry his European success with him to training camps and tryouts back in the States, and if so, the talented 6'5'' guard can ultimately achieve redemption following his rookie season injury. If White can land an opportunity this summer, perhaps he can begin an NBA career that really never got off the ground to start.
