Every year? Every other year? Not until you're 50? Once you turn 40? Will the real mammography screening recommendation please stand up?
If you're a woman approaching the age of 40, you've likely been told to prepare for your first screening mammogram around the time of your big birthday and then to have one every year (in some cases, every other year) thereafter. (Of course, that's just for routine mammograms; breast lumps always require a mammogram and/or other tests to start diagnosing whether...
Write your questions down so you don’t forget them. If okay with your loved one, feel free to ask the doctor these question at an appointment. You may want to share your questions with your loved ones before you go.
Be prepared for changes in your loved one's behavior and mood. Medications, discomforts, and stress may cause your loved one to become depressed, angry, or fatigued.
Encourage your loved one to be active and independent, as much as possible, to help her regain a sense of self-reliance and control.
Be realistic about your own needs. Be sure you are sleeping enough, eating properly, and taking some time off for yourself. It is hard to offer much help when you are exhausted. If you take care of your needs, it may be easier to meet the needs of your loved one.
Don't hesitate to ask other family members and friends for help. They will appreciate the opportunity to help.
Family members and friends of a person coping with breast cancer may also find themselves under a great deal of stress. To reduce your stress:
Keep a positive attitude.
Accept that there are events you cannot control.
Be assertive instead of aggressive. "Assert" your feelings, opinions, or beliefs instead of becoming angry, combative, or passive.
Learn to relax.
Exercise regularly. Your body can fight stress better when you are physically fit.
Eat well-balanced meals.
Rest and sleep. Your body needs time to recover from stressful events. Don't rely on alcohol or drugs to reduce stress.

Supercapacitors turbocharged by laxatives
by Staff Writers
Bristol UK (SPX) Aug 15, 2019
An international team of scientists, including a professor of chemistry from the University of Bristol, has worked out a way to improve energy storage devices called supercapacitors, by designing a new class of detergents chemically related to laxatives.
Their paper, published in the journal Nature Materials, explains why these detergents, called ionic liquids, are better electrolytes than current materials and can improve supercapacitors.
Currently, aqueous and organic electrolytes are used, but more recently, researchers and manufacturers have been testing ionic liquids instead to boost performance.
Although ionic liquids are salts, at room temperature they are surprisingly not crystalline solids - as their name suggests they are in fact liquids.
This gives ionic liquids numerous advantages over conventional electrolytes because they are stable, non-flammable, and often much more environmentally friendly.
To explore the exciting potential offered by ionic liquids for emerging electrochemical technologies the authors designed a new set of highly efficient detergent-like ionic liquid electrolytes and explained how they work at electrode surfaces.
Understanding how they operate will help design even more efficient devices for storing electrical energy.
Professor Julian Eastoe, from the University of Bristol's School of Chemistry, is a co-author of the study. He said: "To make this discovery required a team of scientists with a very diverse skill set, spanning chemical synthesis, advanced structural, microscopy and electrical techniques as well as computational methods.
"This work demonstrates the power of scientific research 'without borders', the groups from different nations contributed their own expertise to make 'the whole greater than the sum of parts'."
Co-author, Xianwen Mao, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), added: "We engineered a new class of ionic liquids that can store energy more efficiently.
"These detergent-like ionic liquids can self-assemble into sandwich-like bilayer structures on electrode surfaces. And that is very reason why they give better energy storage performance."
Typically, for electrolytes in contact with a charged electrode, the distribution of ions is dominated by electrostatic Coulombic interactions.
However, this distribution can be controlled by making the ionic liquids soap-like, or amphiphilic, so that the molecules now have separate polar and non-polar domains, exactly like common detergents.
These soap-like electrolytes then spontaneously form bilayer structures on the electrode surfaces, leading to much improved energy storage capabilities. The researchers found that temperature and applied voltage also affect the energy storage performance.
This new class of electrolytes may be suitable for challenging operations, such as oil drilling and space exploration, but they may also pave the way to new and improved supercapacitors in hybrid cars.
These devices are essential components in modern hybrid cars and can outperform batteries in terms of higher power and better efficiency.
This is particularly the case during regenerative braking where mechanical work is turned into electrical energy, which can be stored quickly in supercapacitors ready to be released.
This reduces energy consumption and is much more environmentally friendly. More importantly, using the new electrolytes such as developed in this study, future supercapacitors may even be able to store more energy than batteries, potentially replacing batteries in applications such as electrical vehicles, personal electronics, and grid-level energy storage facilities.

The Templar have come out of the shadows. The battle between light and dark now takes on a new look. Conspiracy, betrayal, and a decent helping of buttkicking all around. HarryFleur in later chapte...
"Sir! Please you should be resting!" Elizabeth said as she tried to stop a staggering
Amadues from walking. From various doorways the initiates curiously gazed on.
It had been the second day since Marcell had brought them to a rickety old house outside a small village. According to him, it was the village that Jericho had been stationed at not to long ago and it would be easier to find him if they followed his footsteps. At the moment, Marcell was out getting food for the group, he had to resort to stealing from one of the stores in town for money the night before and had left early the next morning for food. But that was an hour and a half ago.
Amadues, who had woken up a few moments ago had been quick to grab his spear, using it as a walking stick with only one thought running through his mind. 'I must find, Jericho!'
As he stepped out the front door a fist flew out and hit his temple, knocking him out. As he started to fall, the hand that hit him grabbed the back of his robes, the owner of said hand stepped towards Amadues to reveal Marcell.
"Elizabeth come here and take the groceries," he ordered. As she took the groceries, Marcell readjusted his hold on Amadues. "Idiot, you move too much and you'll reopen your wound. That potion saved you from dying, you have to do the rest. Besides you lost too much blood, you'd probably make it forty feet before passing out."
After Marcell put his friend back to bed he came downstairs. Elizabeth was handing out food to the hungry children. Judging by how much was left in the bags when she finished, they would only last one more day. As the children went back to the rooms they had been sleeping in, Elizabeth spoke.
"We won't be able to stay here much longer. We'll need to find someplace that can help us."
Marcell grimly nodded. "While I was down in the village I saw a castle high on a cliff edge. From what I gathered, it's a school. Perhaps you'll find some aid there."
"You'll?" She questioned looking at him.
Lowering his hood Marcell looked her in the eye, "Amadues and I have to find Jericho...and considering what I know about Amadues, he'll be trying to leave again when he wakes up."
"But we'll be separated only temporarily, right? Once you find Jericho you'll come back for us won't you?" She fearfully asked.
Marcell put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Of course, now that Myren is gone all we have is each other. That's why we need to find Jericho, despite our rank, Amadues and I are not leaders. Jericho is the only one we trust enough to make decisions. Besides..." He paused as he pulled out Raimond's journal from his inner robe. "...if what Raimond's journal says is true, he will have most of Britain's wizarding society kissing his ass. With that kind of leverage, he will no doubt use it to try and regroup with any Templar that survived."
"Just what is in that journal?"
"The truth of who Jericho really is." Marcell vaguely answered before leaving the room.
At number 12 Grimmauld Place, Jericho was once again pacing the room with his hood down, he was unaware that Rachel was following behind him. He knew she was in the room though. Ever since she had woken up, she could be found wherever Jericho was. Jericho didn't mind her presence and didn't care that she got to see him with his hood down. After all she already knew what his face looked like. Plus her presence managed to bring a sense of happiness to him, and with his current confusions such things were a welcomed distraction.
'Two days! Two days and I haven't been able to get in contact with Raimond!' He paused in his pacing, Rachel stopped just a foot behind him. 'Just what the hell is going on in Myren?'
Raising his hood, Jericho turned to the door, "Come in."
The door opened to reveal Fleur, Rachel ran to her and enveloped her in a hug. Fleur was the only other person besides him that she responded positively to. The young blond woman returned her hug before facing Jericho.
"I came to tell you two suppers ready."
Jericho nodded, walking over to them he kneeled down and spoke with Rachel, "You go ahead and follow Fleur down, I'll be along in a moment, ok?"
Rachel hesitated, but ended up nodding in agreement. Taking Fleur's hand the two left to go downstairs. Closing the door, Jericho stepped into the center of the room before pulling out the mirror from his inner robe.
"Raimond." He spoke, he waited as the mist covered the mirror before disappearing after a minute. Putting the mirror back in his inner robe he spoke to himself, "Still nothing...Raimond I hope this is just another one of your bad jokes..."
"JERRY-KO!" Rachel yelled up the stairs. "HURRY OR DINNER WILL GET COLD."
Jericho laughed lightly before exiting the room. He remembered the first time she did that. The portrait of the late Mrs. Black woke up and started yelling at her. She ended up running to him and cried herself to sleep. Once he put her to bed he waited till night when everyone was asleep. Making his way to the portrait he pulled back the curtain. Mrs. Black was about to start yelling at him, but before she could he thrust one of his glowing swords just an inch from her face. Having got her attention he told her that she would refrain from yelling at anyone and would apologize to Rachel, because if she didn't he would finish destroying the rest of her portrait. Needless to say, Mrs. Black was much more complacent after that.
As he made his way downstairs he took Rachel's hand and let her lead him to the kitchen. He was glad she didn't seem to have any long term trauma from the battle and the loss of her parents. It was times like these when Jericho was truly thankful for the little things.
Night had fallen and Marcell was sitting in the room Amadues was resting at. He had been there most the evening looking after his friend. Amadues stirred before groggily sitting up. He rubbed the side of his head where Marcell had hit him before blinking a few times and looking at his surroundings.
Looking at Marcell he asked, "What happened?"
"You got hasty in your search for Jericho when you should have been resting." Marcell calmly replied as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Why does my head hurt so much?" he asked rubbing his head some more.
"Because I hit you." Marcell deadpanned.
"You could have lied you know." Amadues drawled.
"Would you prefer "I stopped you from doing something stupid that could have led to you opening your wounds and bleeding to death"?" he sarcastically replied.
"No, not really," he replied irritably. "So what do we do now?"
"We wait. You still need some rest."
"We don't have time to wait! We need to let Jericho know what's happened!" Amadues said as he started to get up.
"Sit back down before I hit you again!"
Amadues glared at him and Marcell glared right back. After a few minutes, Amadues relented. Looking around the room again, he saw his spear resting against the wall, it was then that he noticed Marcell was unarmed.
"Where is your sword?'
"Gone...I had to leave it in Myren when we were escaping. Otherwise that bitch, Amaury would have pursued us."
Amadues grunted in acknowledgement. He made a mental note to pay, said bitch back for stabbing him.
"So right now we are one armed Grand Templar, and unarmed Dark Templar, an incapacitated High Templar, and a handful of Initiates...right?"
"Yup." Marcell answered with a smirk.
"We're fucked if whoever attacked Myren finds us."
"Yup." Marcell's smirk grew into a smile.
"And you're smiling cause you're replaying, you sucker-punching me earlier in your head, aren't you?" he asked with a glare.
"Oh yeah," Marcell's smile was now a full blown grin. "It's one of the highlights of my day and helps me keep my chin up."
"Yup," Marcell replied, laughing. Getting up he walked to the door. "Get some sleep we'll start looking for Jericho, starting noon tomorrow."
Amadues grunted as he lay back down and tried to get some more sleep. Exiting the room, Marcell literally bumped into Elizabeth. As he looked at the female Templar he noticed her hands behind her back and she was constantly shifting her weight.
"Ah! Um..." She gasped in surprise before bringing her hands in front of her showing him a silvery color solid orb about the size of a softball in her hand. "...I've been thinking for a while now, and decided to give you my Alomondria Ore. You're a better fighter than me and it will be better off with you."
Marcell's eyes widened in surprise. Alomondria Ore was the metal used to make Templar weapons. It was a unique metal that when combined with the magic of whoever was in possession of it, turned into a weapon or weapons, in Jericho's case, which suited the user. Once combined with the magic it retains the shape of the weapon until whoever put the magic in, decided to pull it out. It was a very precious metal and each Templar was only given one. Marcell had resigned himself to having to find or make a new zanbato, and here was Elizabeth willingly giving away her Alomondria Ore to him.
Taking a deep breath, Marcell gently place his hand around hers and pushed the orb of metal towards her, "I can't take this Elizabeth. It's yours and I would feel bad for depriving you of your weapon."
Elizabeth shook her head furiously before forcefully pushing the metal into his hands. "I never used my weapon until the attack on Myren. Those wizards were my first kill and every time I look at it I hear their screams. I'm not suited for fighting it was the major reason I became a teacher. Besides I'd be dead if it wasn't for you, so if you must, consider this my way of saying thanks."
Marcell's eyes slightly widened as the information sunk in, "Those were your first kill?"
Realization seemed to shine in her eyes, as if the information had just dawned on her. Her knees quivered before they completely gave out from under her. As she was collapsing, Marcell quickly caught her in his arms. The two stood there as Elizabeth cried for the lives she took. Marcell stood as a pillar of strength, rubbing a consoling hand up and down her back. First kills were always the hardest and Elizabeth had never got the chance to get over it until now.
Eventually, Elizabeth cried herself dry. Her head still buried in his chest, she mumbled, "I'm a horrible person."
"No," Marcell said as he pulled her away to look her in the eyes. She had her head aimed down and gently he lifted her chin so she had to look at him. "No, what you did is save the lives of your students, yourself, and anyone else those monsters could of and would of harmed. You did nothing wrong."
"How can you stand it? All the killing?"
"It's easier after the first...but the first ones never truly leave you. You just have to come up with a reason for what you did and live with it. You are lucky you had a good reason."
"How can you say that!? That I'm lucky I had a good reason to kill someone!?"
"Not all of us are so fortunate to kill what we consider evil," He calmly stated. "Amadues is still haunted by his first kill."
"That...is something you'll have to ask him." The two stood in silence for a moment before Marcell looked down at the Alomondria Ore in his hand. "I guess I better get to work on making my new sword."
With that said, he headed downstairs. Elizabeth stood where she was for a moment, glancing at the room, Amadues slept in with sad eyes.
"Here I am feeling sorry for myself and yet I'm standing with two senior Templar who have probably had it worse than me. I feel ashamed of myself." She said as she turned and headed downstairs to find Marcell. Neither of them were aware that Amadues was still awake, looking at the ceiling with a haunted look in his eyes.
"No one will blame you for feeling the way you do, Elizabeth. Everyone has their nightmares...its just that some are worse than others." He quietly mumbled to no one. It would be a long night for him.
Marcell stepped outside, into the cool night air. Lifting the softball size ball of metal to eye level, he thought back to when he made his first sword. All it took was a small charge of magic. Taking a deep breath he slowly charged his magic into the orb. The orb started to glow gold, then turned red, and finally black.
'Well that's new.' Marcell thought as he continued to feed his magic into the ball.
The once hard metal started to shift and ripple like a water balloon before it started to lose it ball like shape. The first thing to happen, was it grew into a long, slim cylinder shape, forming the handle of his blade. But that was all that reminded Marcell of his old sword. At the end of the handle a sharp cone shaped spike formed and as the actual blade grew it shaped itself in a flat crab-like claw. However, rather than a smooth razor edge, there was a row of saw-like teeth that went up both sides of the sword and in-between the two finger-like points of the sword. When the blade was finished forming, the black glow from his magic fell off the blade to reveal an obsidian color that seemed to take the shine of whatever light hit it and turn it into an intimidating glare.
"What the fuck?" he mumbled as he marveled at his new sword.
"W-w-what the hell is that!?" a shocked voice spoke from behind.
Turning around he saw Elizabeth standing at the doorway with a look of shock on her face.
"I don't know. I thought it would just turn into another overgrown butcher's cleaver." He answered as he looked back at his new sword. "But this thing is something else entirely...it's more powerful than my old sword."
"What do you-" But she never finished. Marcell had taken one hand off the handle and was still holding the blade horizontally with his other hand and no signs of strain.
"It's light as a feather," He said as he gave it a few test swings with one hand. "That was my greatest weakness before. The weight of the blade made it impossible for me to wield it for long periods of time. But this..." He paused again as he swung it some more. "I could swing this all day and not feel tired."
Stepping a little closer, Elizabeth asked. "How is that even possible?"
"I don't know. I've never heard of something like this happening in Myren," Stabbing the blade into the ground he turned and enveloped Elizabeth in a hug. "I don't know how this happened, but I know that if it wasn't for you, I would never have this magnificent blade. Someway, somehow I will repay you."
Elizabeth hesitantly returned the hug and thought to herself, 'You already have.'
Early the next morning Marcell entered Amadues's room with his new sword strapped to his back.
"I'm taking Elizabeth and the Initiates up to a school about a half hour away. Once I've dropped them off I'm coming back here and we'll leave to find Jericho."
"And what makes you think I'll wait that long?" he curiously asked.
"You want me to tie you down?" Marcell deadpanned.
"Nope, I'll be a good boy and wait patiently." He replied nervously.
"You better, or else I'll introduce you to my new sword." He said as he turned and exited the room.
Amadues, who had finally got a good look at his new blade yelled out, "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?"
Marcell had reached the first floor and yelled back, "LONG STORY, I'LL TELL YOU LATER."
Looking back at Elizabeth and the children standing behind her, he said, "Ok, we're going to the castle on the cliff. Go to the bathroom now because I'm not stopping until we reach the castle.
At number 12 Grimmauld place, an entirely different scene was taking place. Jericho had just finished eating breakfast with Rachel, Sirius, and Remus when someone quickly stepped out of the fireplace. Said perso burst into the kitchen to reveal a panting Tonks.
"Contact Dumbledore, the Ministry is under attack!"
(Chapter 8 End)
Ok, that is chapter 8. I don't know how well I described Marcell's new sword. So give me feedback on that please. I drew a picture of it and tried to describe what that picture looked like so for me its easy to picture what I'm trying to describe. Anyway this chapter served as a break in the action. Next chapter will be the first real Templar vs Templar fight.
For those wondering when Harry and Fleur get together, you still have a while. They still have to get to know each other better. But for your convenience I'm speeding that up as soon as I can.
Also did anyone like chapter 7? Seemed it didn't get reviews as quickly as my other chapters which makes me think no. Anyway. The contents of Raimond's journal will be discussed after Marcell, Amadues, and Jericho reunite and things settle down. There is still two fight filled chapters (though not back to back) to cover so stay tuned.
Anyway, today's chapter is brought to you by the letter R. As in review. (Smiles)

Richard Read Sr. was a British-born artist, sent to Australia as a convict. He is known as Richard Read senior to differentiate him from another Richard Read, thought to be his son, who painted in Sydney at the same time. Little is known of Richard Read's early life. Richard Read is said to have been born in London circa 1765. Recent sources suggest that his middle name was Daniel and that his parents were Richard Read and Lydia, née Ames. London business directories for 1805 and 1808 show Read as an animal painter. In July 1812 he was sentenced to fourteen years’ transportation for knowingly possessing forged banknotes, he was transported to Sydney on the Earl Spencer, arriving in Sydney on 9 October 1813. Just eight weeks Read received his ticket of leave. Sarah and their daughter Elizabeth Lydia arrived on the ship Kangaroo in January 1814, his son named Richard and a noted painter himself, arrived in Sydney as a free settler in 1819. The younger Richard Read was estranged from his father, did not acknowledge their relationship.
Read established a drawing school at 37 Pitt Street, Sydney, in 1814. There he taught the art of drawing, sold his own drawings and paintings. Two Read paintings survive from this time: Portrait of John Buckland and Portrait of Elizabeth Isabella Broughton. Though Read claimed to have been taught by the noted British artist Sir Joshua Reynolds, no evidence has been found for this claim, he benefited from the patronage of New South Wales governor Lachlan Macquarie. Read advertised in the Sydney Gazette in 1823, saying that he had completed a number of portraits of Macquarie. A watercolour portrait of Macquarie acquired by the State Library of New South Wales is thought to be one of these. On the reverse, the portrait is labelled'Take notice that none are original pictures of Governor Macquarie but what has got the name of Read marked in Latin with the seal annext Governor Macquarie never sat to any artist in this colony but Read Snr.'Read continued to operate at several studios in Sydney before receiving an absolute pardon in July 1826.
Shortly thereafter, no further trace is found of Read. As he is not listed in the 1828 census of new South Wales, it is possible that he returned to England. Read painted portraits of notable Sydney identities including the Macquarie family, Barron Field and Elizabeth Marsden, wife of Samuel Marsden. These, along with several of Read's Sydney landscapes and paintings of birds and animals, are located at the State Library of New South Wales
Frederick Collier Bakewell was an English physicist who improved on the concept of the facsimile machine introduced by Alexander Bain in 1842 and demonstrated a working laboratory version at the 1851 World's Fair in London. Born in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, he moved to Hampstead, Middlesex where he lived until his death. Bakewell was married to Henrietta Darbyshire with whom he had two sons and Armitage. Bakewell's "image telegraph" had many of the features of modern facsimile machines, replaced the pendulums of Bain's system with synchronized rotating cylinders; the system involved drawing on a piece of metal foil with a special insulating ink. A metal stylus driven by a screw thread traveled across the surface of the cylinder as it turned, tracing out a path over the foil; each time the stylus crossed the insulating ink, the current through the foil to the stylus was interrupted. At the receiver, a similar pendulum-driven stylus marked chemically treated paper with an electric current as the receiving cylinder rotated.
The chief problems with Bakewell's machine were how to keep the two cylinders synchronized and to make sure that the transmitting and receiving styli started at the same point on the cylinder at the same time. Despite these problems, Bakewell's machine was capable of transmitting handwriting and simple line drawings along telegraph wires; the system, never became commercial. In 1861, the system was improved by an Italian priest, Giovanni Caselli, able to use it to send handwritten messages as well as photographs on his pantelegraph, he introduced the first commercial telefax service between Paris and Lyon eleven years before the invention of workable telephones. In addition to his work on facsimile transmission, he held patents for many other innovations. Bakewell wrote texts on physics and natural phenomena.

According to Yuri Slyusar, head of the United Aircraft Corporation, the production of a new aircraft has started. “At the plant in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, work has begun on the construction of several Checkmates at the same time “– says the head of the UAC.
The Su-75 is positioned as a fifth-generation multifunctional fighter. The key difference from the Su-57 is the single-engine layout instead of the twin-engine one. According to analysts, this will make the car cheaper than the Su-57.
A distinctive feature of Checkmate, which should increase its competitiveness, is its modular design. The composition of the onboard equipment can be changed depending on the client’s requirements.
It cannot be ruled out that in the future the aircraft will be of interest to the Russian Aerospace Forces, for which it will become a “budgetary” addition to the Su-57. We will remind, earlier the Armed Forces received the first serial fighter of the fifth generation.
It is assumed that Checkmate will be distinguished not only by a relatively low price, but also by high combat characteristics. The aircraft will be able to carry 7,400 kilograms of combat load. To maintain stealth, weapons can be placed inside. The serial Su-75 will be capable of using air-to-air missiles, precision bombs and air-to-ground missiles.

There is a billionaire leading in polls in West Virginia who portrays himself in often colorful language as an outsider businessman and job creator not beholden to political donors—and his last name isn’t Trump.
Jim Justice, who made his fortune running his family’s coal and agriculture businesses, is ahead in a three-way race in the Democratic primary for governor heading into Tuesday’s election. Like Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Mr. Justice is benefiting from a deep distrust of establishment politicians.

“We’ve established that we can run the ball, and we knew we had offensive linemen that could run block and pass block,” Trigg head coach Shannon Burcham said. “The biggest thing is that we didn’t turn the ball over running tonight. That may be the first time all season.”
With the win, Trigg (4-4, 3-1 in 2A 1st District) moved a step closer to hosting its first-round playoff game. Heath (4-4, 2-1) hosts district-leading Murray (8-0, 3-0) on Friday and would cause a three-way tie with an upset win.
“We want to win every week going into the playoffs,” Burcham said. “We want that momentum because we had a slow start. Whoever comes here, that’s fine. Whoever we get in week two if we get there, that’s fine.”
Trigg’s defense put on another strong performance, holding Heath to 47 rushing yards, most of which came late in the fourth quarter with Wildcat reserves on the field. Pirate quarterback Tra Tharp did have a relatively solid night, rushing for 59 yards and passing for 103.
Tharp, however, fell victim on Heath’s first drive to the Wildcat rush and was intercepted by Mitch Rogers near midfield. Trigg’s offense then got on the scoreboard with an eight-play, 58-yard drive capped by Dillon Cionko’s 11-yard touchdown run.
Quarterback Andrew Stewart was intercepted on Trigg’s next drive, but the Wildcat defense held Heath out of the endzone, setting up the ‘Cats second scoring drive, a six-play, 78-yard march that ended when Josh Adams ran 39 yards to the end zone.
The rushing attack continued, led by Cionko, Adams and Akeem Wilson, who ran 22 times for a game-high 116 yards. Cionko scored Trigg’s third touchdown late in the third quarter on a 15-yard run, and Wilson added the next midway through the fourth from three yards out.
Joining the backfield attack was Sean Bebee, who reeled off a 63-yard run before scoring Trigg’s final touchdown of the night from three yards out.
Burcham said it took a while for the ‘Cats to find their dependable core of running backs, but the offensive line, which had another solid outing Friday, has been tough all season.
“We knew our line would be good,” Burcham said. “Other than the first game where we had some bad snaps, everyone’s been 70 percent or better. We just had to find running backs and people that could do what needed to be done in certain places. They’ve all bought in now.”
Defensively, Burcham said the coaching staff had a plan to slow down the athletic Tharp, and it worked.
“We had four or five options defensively, got into a zone coverage and found that we could do that,” Burcham said. “They got us late with a mix of young and old guys on the field. If that’s all they get, that’s alright.”
The defense will be tested again Friday when Trigg hosts Ballard Memorial (2-6). The Bombers average nearly 26 points per contest and notched 40 in a Sept. 18 loss to Murray.
“They’ve got a good quarterback [Alex Mallory], so we know we’ve got to honor everybody and come to play defense,” Burcham said. “We’ve got to do what we’ve been doing offensively, as well. We need to just get better every week, and our kids are buying into that.”
Trigg County will celebrate Senior Night during the game.

The C8 Corvette Z06 rumor mill has been circulating lately, with our major report detailing the tires, aerodynamics and exhaust that will be offered. Just this week, we got exciting new footage of three Z06 prototypes testing alongside a Ferrari 458 Italia and a Porsche 911 GT2 RS. Pretty big benchmarks to be gunning for, but the Corvette has always had a habit of embarrassing the European competition at a much more attainable price.
There’s also something that we missed in the excitement: one of the C8 Corvette Z06 prototypes featured a center-mounted exhaust, confirming our exclusive reports that this feature was in development.
While all three of the test cars in the video appear to be the upcoming Z06, the second and third cars have side mounted exhausts similar to the standard Corvette Stingray. The first Corvette has a center mounted system, though. In the video, you can even tell the two setups sound slightly different.
The 2022 Corvette Z06 is getting a high revving flat plane crank V8 first teased in the C8.R racecar. This will give the Corvette a far more exotic sound than the pushrod LT2 V8 found in the standard car, and have a much more “supercar” experience. In our Z06 report, we covered how the engineering team is considering ramping up that exotic sound with a center mounted exhaust option.
As far as we know, this isn’t set in stone yet, as the center mounted exhaust would require more funding, and complete approval, before it moves beyond this initial stage. We don’t get a chance to hear the vehicle accelerating hard in this particular video, so we’ll have to leave it to the engineers to make the final call.

Eraser is about an agent who keeps people safe in the witness protection program. He is protecting a woman who plans to help bring down a corporation that is helping to make weapons. Another witness is killed, which leads to Arnold giving away the location of his witness. Arnold saves his witness and now he and his witness must find out how to stop the weapons company before they can sell a bunch of weapons to terrorists.
Most of the acting in this movie is average. However, it does boast some notable actors such as of course Arnold Schwarzenegger, a woman who won a Miss America contest and plays the main woman in this movie and James Caan. James Caan is a great actor for action movies like Arnold Schwarzenegger. He does a great job in Eraser, but another one of my favorite movie roles with him was when he was in El Dorado. El Dorado is one of my favorite westerns with a star studded cast and James Caan gives a great performance as a very young James Caan. Another interesting thing about James Caan is that my martial arts sensei that I had fall of 2010 sent him a letter when James Caan was a lot younger. It was a letter that was correcting James Caan on his martial arts form. James Caan sent my sensei a letter back about how they should get into a fight. They never actually fought, but I still fought it was an interesting confrontation that my martial arts teacher had with James Caan.
The action in this movie is great. There are some great scenes such as when Arnold is facing a plane that is about to crash into him but he shoots the windshield of the plane when he is parachuting and manages to make the plane avoid him, there are some crocodiles in a zoo who kill some of the villains and Arnold has an exciting final fight against James Caan. There is also an interesting ray gun weapon that the weapons company plans to sell to terrorists, but they also use a couple of them to fight Arnold Schwarzenegger with them.
The humor in this movie is some typical one liners from Arnold such as when he shoots a crocodile in the head and says that the crocodile is “luggage”. They also have some comical characters such as some small time mafia criminals who end up helping Arnold take down the main villains and a guy who Arnold saved that ends up in a gay bar much to his displeasure.
The suspense in this movie is mostly when the villains find out the location of Arnold’s witness and go after her. There is also suspense when we find out that there are a couple of traitors in the organization, one of which is very close to Arnold.
Arnold is his usual tough guy self. However, I also like the woman in this movie. She is attractive and she definitely deserved to win Miss America for her beauty. However, she is also able to take care of herself what with shooting one of the villains in the leg and knocking a mob boss unconscious by hitting him over the head with a coffee pot. There are some other minor protagonists who help out Arnold and are kind of cliche but are also kind of funny, partly because they are such cliche stereotypes of who they are supposed to be.
The villain that the weapons are being sold to is very cliche and typical. He doesn’t have much screen time or development. Some of the other villains who are working high up in the government are also highly forgettable. However, James Caan is the one great villain in this movie that makes the villains good characters and is able to put up a good fight against Arnold. He’s certainly one of the few good villains out there to put up a good fight against Arnold, more than most other enemies of Arnold’s can put up.
The setting for this movie is very typical. There are not really any memorable settings in this movie. However, there is an exciting fight that takes place on a plane. I guess the plane is the best setting in this movie because of how exciting the fight scene was on it. There is also a zoo that is somewhat interesting and some of the animals are used to fight the villains.
This is an average movie with some good acting talent from a Miss America winner, James Caan and Arnold Schwarzenegger. It is one of my more favorite movies by Arnold Schwarzenegger, though, because it has pretty much straight action and some actors I well recognize as good action actors.

Âé¶¹´«Ã½AV is the oldest continuing secondary school in Victoria. The school was founded by the Presbyterian Church of Victoria on the initiative of the first settled minister of the Presbyterian Church in the State, the Reverend James Forbes. Under the first Principal, Mr Robert Lawson, it was initially known as The Melbourne Academy. At this time, the school occupied a small house in Spring Street in the City of Melbourne.
New buildings were erected on a site in Eastern Hill in 1853, where the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre now stands, and classes commenced there the following year. Under the second Principal, Mr Alexander Morrison, the school grew and prospered for the 47 years of his leadership, from 1857 to 1903. Mr William Littlejohn took over as Principal of the school from 1904 to 1933. His successor, Dr Colin Gilray, served for a further 20 years, from 1934 to 1953.
The school owes much to the foresight of those who arranged the purchase of the present site of about 27 hectares at Hawthorn and to those responsible for the transfer of the school to this â€™new and distant rural settingâ€™. While the East Melbourne site greatly limited growth, the new site, with ample space for playing fields and direct access to the river, made it possible for the school to expand and develop into that which we know it to be today. The Hawthorn site was purchased in 1915 and by 1926 the transfer to the new site was completed, although many current buildings still had to be built. One of these was the Littlejohn Memorial Chapel, which was dedicated in 1936.
The school operated under the leadership of three Principals in the period 1953 to 1982: Mr Richard Selby Smith (1953-64), Mr Colin Healey (1964-75) and Mr Philip Roff (1975-81). It was during Mr Healeyâ€™s and Mr Roffâ€™s tenure that the school fostered the idea of the â€˜Scotch Familyâ€™ and established the Âé¶¹´«Ã½AV Foundation to provide financial support to the school.
In January 1983, Dr Gordon Donaldson arrived from Northern Ireland to head the school. Under his leadership, there were substantial changes to the schoolâ€™s programmes and an extensive building phase was begun, including the construction of the James Forbes Academy for Music, Drama and Communication. The impact of these changes and new buildings continue to benefit the Scotch community.
In June 2008, Mr Tom Batty arrived from Eton College in the United Kingdom to commence his journey as Âé¶¹´«Ã½AVâ€™s ninth Principal. Mr Battyâ€™s time to date has focused on improving the knowledge of each Scotch boy and how he best learns, through pastoral care, academic care and physical setting. Mr Batty's tenure concluded in 2022.
In January 2023, Dr Scott Marsh commenced as the tenthÌýPrincipal.
Today Scotch has a total enrolment of about 1890 boys, of whom 160 are boarders and 430 are in the Junior School, all on one ideally located campus â€“ a far cry from the early days in a small Spring Street house in the Melbourne Central Business District. In addition to this, other properties are, however, owned and used. The school has 80 hectares of forest in the hills at Healesville andÌýa residential camp at Cowes on Phillip Island. Each of these provides an opportunity for outdoor and recreational activities to be offered to boys of various ages.
ÌýOur Scottish Heritage
The schoolâ€™s Scottish heritage is reflected in many aspects of the schoolâ€™s life, from its Christian faith, its belief in a broadly-based liberal curriculum in the arts, sciences and humanities, and in a school culture forged in the tradition of Scottish egalitarianism. The Schoolâ€™s badge and flag, Scottish ceremonies, the pipes and drums, the cadet corps, music and cultural references, student exchanges, and the Presbyterian tradition embodied in assemblies, chapel services, religious education and pastoral care, all express the continuing vitality and symbolic importance of this tradition. The Old Scotch Collegians Association has its own pipe band, features Scottish ceremony at its major functions, and has established the Victorian Scottish Heritage Cultural Foundation with the Melbourne Scots.
Âé¶¹´«Ã½AV is a product of the enlightenment which swept through Scotland in the 18th Century. By the early 1800s, Scotland had a national system of education more comprehensive than anywhere in Europe with bursaries given to those of ability, but without means, to attend university. By 1830, Scottish universities boasted some 4,400 students (England, with a population eight times that of Scotland, mustered less than 3,000).
The foundation and character of Scotch were deeply influenced by the expression of the enlightenment at Aberdeen University. The schoolâ€™s founder, Rev. James Forbes, was a graduate of Kings College, Aberdeen University, and Principals Alexander Morrison and William Still Littlejohn were likewise Kings College graduates. These men established the scientific and humane curriculum, and egalitarian and non-sectarian culture which has always characterised the school. Over the decades, these founding values have been fused with Australian optimism that all is possible with hard-work and innovation. It is a tradition of feeding the fire, not dying in its flames.
The Âé¶¹´«Ã½AV of today is a modern and dynamic Australian school, and our Scottish heritage continues to be celebrated as the foundation for the value we place on faith, reason and service and the role we believe education plays in empowering young people to take of control of their lives.

FN obsessions Wild Flag and Mission of Burma will be melting your collective faces for one epic night of music mayhem, in what will now be known as the Perfect Storm of Rock.
Oh, and did we mention that this show is free? Be sure to check out the rest of Celebrate Brooklyn's lineup ova here - with appearances by Ghostface Killah, Laurie Anderson and, um, Lyle Lovett, there is literally something for everyone.
Yes, it's all happening.


It comes after John-Paul Marks, who took up the role of Permanent Secretary at the start of this year, gave evidence on the failure to document a key decision over the awarding of a £97 million ferry contract before the committee on May 3.
In his letter, Mr Marks assured the committee he would ensure “robust systems and processes” were in place for the recording and managing of information.
“Recording ministerial decisions is a vital part of the role of civil servants,” he wrote.
“I am clear that, although there is no overarching statutory duty to record all decisions in a particular way, such decisions should be documented effectively as part of the official record and be suitably accessible.”
It emerged last month that a key piece of documentation on the awarding of the ferry contract to Ferguson Marine, which could now cost as much as £250m, could not be located.
The missing document saw criticism levelled at the Scottish Government over its record-keeping practices, after an investigation by civil servants failed to find the note in question.
Earlier this month, transport minister Jenny Gilruth told MSPs the document – an email response to Cmal approving the contract for the shipyard in Port Glasgow – had been located.
The Permanent Secretary said that although “foundations are in place” for delivering an effective system, there was still more to do, “not least in the context of the continued growth of digital information and data”.
Such steps taken include the development of an updated Information Management Strategy for the Scottish Government, which sets out best practice for handling information, as well as the introduction of new eDiscovery Solution technology, which allows for more reliable searching.
Mr Marks said reviews had also been completed on all training, guidance and policies related to information management.
He said: “I expect, and will demand of my teams, a rigorous approach to recording official advice and Government decisions, underpinned by reliable search and retrieval technology to ensure accountability and transparency.”
Improvements to the system will be monitored through the scrutiny of performance data, he said, which will be carried out at quarterly assurance reviews by the corporate board.
Scottish Liberal Democrat MSP Willie Rennie said: “Recording ministerial decisions is a vital part of the role of civil servants. I’m glad that the Permanent Secretary has taken the time to set out his approach, but really this is the bare minimum that the public should expect.”

Open House, BBQ at Fire Station on Saturday
Don’t forget that tomorrow in honor of National Fire Prevention Week there will be an Open House and FREE BBQ tomorrow, Saturday, Oct. 15 from noon to 5 p.m. at the Leadville/Lake County Fire Rescue (LLCFR) house, located at 9th Street and historic Harrison Avenue.
There will be several Lake County and Leadville agencies and departments on hand to provide information on public safety issues. During the day many demonstrations will be held, such as a wildfire table simulation, extrication demonstration, & a charged fire hose available for the public to experience. A BBQ will also be held throughout the day starting at noon.
The LLCFR will also be accepting donations for the Neighbors Helping Neighbors Food Drive, going on throughout the month of October. So residents may also bring canned and non-perishable food items to the Fire House on October 15.
While National Fire Prevention Week focuses on promoting fire safety and prevention, fire safety should be practiced all year long. Many potential fire hazards go undetected because people simply do not take steps to fireproof their home.
Many bedroom fires are caused by misuse or poor maintenance of electrical devices, careless use of candles, smoking in bed, and children playing with matches and lighters. Most potential hazards can be addressed with a little common sense. For example, be sure to keep flammable items like bedding, clothes and curtains at least three feet away from portable heaters or lit candles, and never smoke in bed. Also, items like appliances or electric blankets should not be operated if they have frayed power cords, and electrical outlets should never be overloaded.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken has admitted to lawmakers Tuesday that ‘we have to anticipate’ some of the humanitarian aid flowing into the Gaza Strip will end up in the hands of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
Blinken made the remark in front of the Senate Appropriations Committee as he said the U.S. is trying to coordinate 100 trucks of aid per day into the conflict zone this week, arguing that it is the ‘bare minimum of what is needed.’
‘Can I promise you in this committee that there’ll be 100% delivery to the designated recipients? No, there will inevitably be some spillage,’ he said. ‘We haven’t seen it to date, but I think we have to anticipate that. But the overwhelming, overwhelming majority of the assistance thus far is getting to people who need it. And we need more.’
Blinken said so far, the U.S. has gotten up to 50 trucks of aid per day into the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
LIVE UPDATES: ISRAEL AT WAR WITH HAMAS
‘Before the conflict in Gaza, before Hamas’ aggression against Israel and its response, the U.N. and other agencies and other organizations providing relief were sending in between 500 and 800 hundred trucks a day,’ he said. ‘Right now, we’re up to almost 60. We’re trying to get to 100 this week.’
When asked about the process to make sure the aid is not going to terrorists, Blinken said ‘from day one, we have been working with the Israeli government, with Egypt, with the U.N. agencies, as well as with other actors to try to make sure that assistance could get in to people who need it in Gaza, but get in, in a way that doesn’t go to the people who don’t need it. And that’s Hamas.
HECKLERS SCREAM AT BLINKEN FOR ISRAEL-HAMAS ‘CEASEFIRE’ DURING SENATE HEARING
‘So we’ve set up a system where assistance is coming through Rafah, the gate between Egypt and Gaza. The assistance is checked by Israel at a site that has been established to do that, so that every truck that goes in is verified by Israel as well as by the Egyptian authorities. The trucks go in. These are U.N. trucks. They go in, they connect to other U.N. trucks on the other side of the line in Gaza. These trucks then go to distribution facilities that are run by U.N. agencies,’ Blinken explained.
‘The supplies are then taken from those agencies to various points to hospitals to bakeries, because bread is critical and to other end points throughout this process, we have an ability and others have an ability to track where the assistance is going,’ he added. ‘We’re then able to do monitoring on the other end by contacting the designated recipients to ensure that it’s actually gotten to where it’s supposed to go and not been diverted.
