SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The Santa Clara Broncos overcame an early three-run deficit with seven unanswered runs Saturday afternoon at Schott Stadium to defeat the Saint Mary's Gaels 10-6. Santa Clara's one through six hitters each picked up an RBI and a run scored and freshman Jason Seever threw a career-best 6.0 innings in relief as the Broncos evened the series at one game apiece.
Santa Clara qualifies for the West Coast Conference Baseball Championship with a victory in tomorrow's regular season finale against Saint Mary's. The Broncos needed to win Saturday's game to keep their postseason hopes alive.
"That has been this team's identity all year — never being out of the fight, always scrapping for runs and trying to win innings one at a time," senior second baseman Zach Looney said. "We were able to do that today, and that was awesome."
Starting pitcher Peter Hendron allowed six earned runs on 10 hits with one walk and four strikeouts in 3.0+ innings for the Broncos (25-28, 15-11 WCC). Coming off a complete game victory, Saint Mary's starter Cameron Neff allowed six runs (three earned) on five hits with three walks and four strikeouts in 4.2 innings for the Gaels (16-38, 8-18 WCC). Seever (W, 3-2) threw a career-high 6.0 shutout innings and matched a career best with five strikeouts, allowing three hits and no walks to earn his third win of the season.
"Jason stepped up big time today and kept us in the ballgame until our hitters settled down," head coach Dan O'Brien said. "It's been that way all year — a different guy picking this team up — especially when things aren't going well. That says a lot about the character of this ballclub."
Senior left fielder Casey Munoz hit a hard, low line drive to left center and hustled for second base to lead off the second for the Broncos. After junior first baseman T.J. Braff singled to right, senior designated hitter Quinton Perry hit a three-run homer over the batting cages in left center to put Santa Clara ahead 3-0. Perry leads the Broncos with five home runs on the season, and went a team-best 2-for-4 with three RBIs and two runs scored in the victory.
Hendron started the third with a strikeout and a line out to center on a great sliding catch by senior center fielder Greg Harisis. Junior first baseman Collin Ferguson started a two-out rally for the Gaels with a home run to right center and freshman catcher Nate Nolan hit a two-run single up the middle to tie the game at 3-3.
Saint Mary's started off the fourth with four straight singles, including RBI efforts from junior center fielder DonAndre Clark through the right side and junior second baseman Darian Ramage on a squeeze bunt up the first base line. Seever came in to pitch and retired three in a row, including an RBI sacrifice fly to right from sophomore right fielder Anthony Gonsolin to make the score 6-3 Gaels.
"Getting ahead to every hitter really helps," Seever said. "My curveball wasn't really working so I was hitting spots and painting the outside corner, wherever [freshman catcher Stevie Berman] sets up. Command is what got me through this outing."
After a scoreless top of the fifth, the Broncos tied the game 6-6 on an RBI from Harisis — who reached on an error — and two-out RBI singles by Munoz and Braff. The cleanup and No. 5 hitters were two of four Broncos with two-hit games alongside Perry and sophomore shortstop Jose Vizcaino, Jr.
"Something we talk about a lot — especially when we're down — is getting baserunners and setting the table," Looney said. "The more often you set the table, the more often the runs are going to come. That was our focus, to keep getting baserunners and luckily we got some to fall there at the end."
In the sixth, Looney gave the Broncos their second lead of the ballgame on a solo home run to left. The senior's first home run of the season and second career long ball would go on to be the game-deciding hit. With two outs, Vizcaino Jr. and Berman hit consecutive RBI singles to make the score 9-6 Broncos. Santa Clara tallied all four of its two-out RBIs on singles.
"I can't put into words what Zach Looney means to not only this ballclub, but to the foundation of this program as well," O'Brien said. "He's a competitor, a winner and a very special human being. He's been beat up too, so watching him limp around the bases after a big home run was pretty special for all of us."
"I was just trying to get on base and look for a good pitch to hit," Looney said. "I was fortunate enough to get a hold of one pretty well."
Freshman third baseman Max Kuhns put the Broncos in double figures with an RBI sacrifice fly to left to score Perry in the seventh and continue a streak of seven unanswered Santa Clara runs. Each of Santa Clara's nine starters either scored or drove in a run Saturday afternoon.
"Early in the season, we had trouble coming back when we were down," Seever said. "As the season has gone on, guys have really been stepping up, doing their jobs and putting together runs to help us come from behind."
The Broncos host Senior Day at 1 p.m. tomorrow for the final game of the 2014 regular season. Jacob Steffens (2-4, 3.38 ERA) is scheduled to take the hill for Santa Clara against Jacob Valdez (1-4, 3.42 ERA) for Saint Mary's.
"This team showed a lot of character once again today," O'Brien said. "They've been doing it all year. They can take a punch and they never stop competing. Those are two pretty big compliments when describing a ballclub. They're a bunch of winners, bottom line."
Game Notes: First pitch was at 1:04 p.m. … time of game was 2:45 … attendance was 408 … Hendron faced four batters in the fourth … the Broncos can finish third in the conference with a victory tomorrow and victories tonight and tomorrow by Pepperdine over Gonzaga … they finish fourth in the conference with a victory tomorrow and any other scenario.

Marjory Kennedy-Fraser in Scotland - early 20th Century
[The fisherman] was busy with his nets, and they chaffed him, I could see, about the strange lady who was running after him for his singing. So I had to wait about half an hour before he would be persuaded to sing... But at last he yielded and having once begun sang verse after verse, and I got it noted down. He sang it with a peculiar woodwind like quality of voice, which suggested a theme for orchestral treatment.

I want to model a particle with an arbitrary initial velocity, and estimate the time it takes to reach a final point given a constant magnitude of acceleration. It should take the quickest path to the point. This takes place on a 2D plane.
I can't figure out how to model the acceleration for the particle, since when I think about the problem it seems like the acceleration direction should change as the particle's position relative to the final point changes. I don't know how it would change, or even why. Part of me thinks that the acceleration should be in a constant direction, but I can't figure out which direction that would be either.
As you can see, I am fairly lost here. Is there a general equation for the ideal direction of acceleration here? Thanks for any help you can provide. If it is at all relevant, this is for a simulation I'm writing in Python to predict the time it takes a particle with some initial velocity vector to reach a given point.

- First, our algorithms collected as much information available about these products from trusted sources.
- We employed both Artificial Intelligence and large data volume to validate all collected information.
- Then our AI ranked them on their quality-to-price ratio using industry-standard criteria that let us pick the best Quick Dry Cargo Shorts currently on the market!
- Brand Value: What happens when you go for a not-so-reputable brand just because the price seems cheap? Well, the chance of getting a short-lasting product goes higher. That’s because the renowned brands have a reputation to maintain, others don’t.
- Features: You don’t need heaps of features, but useful ones. We look at the features that matter and choose the top Quick Dry Cargo Shorts based on that.
- Specifications: Numbers always help you measure the quality of a product in a quantitative way. We try to find products of higher specifications, but with the right balance.
- Customer Ratings: The hundreds of customers using the Quick Dry Cargo Shorts before you won’t say wrong, would they? Better ratings mean better service experienced by a good number of people.
- Customer Reviews: Like ratings, customer reviews give you actual and trustworthy information, coming from real-world consumers about the Quick Dry Cargo Shorts they used.
- Seller Rank: Now, this is interesting! You don’t just need a good Quick Dry Cargo Shorts, you need a product that is trendy and growing in sales. It serves two objectives. Firstly, the growing number of users indicates the product is good. Secondly, the manufacturers will hopefully provide better quality and after-sales service because of that growing number.
- Value For The Money: They say you get what you pay for. Cheap isn’t always good. But that doesn’t mean splashing tons of money on a flashy but underserving product is good either. We try to measure how much value for the money you can get from your Quick Dry Cargo Shorts before putting them on the list.
- Durability: Durability and reliability go hand to hand. A robust and durable Quick Dry Cargo Shorts will serve you for months and years to come.
- Availability: Products come and go, new products take the place of the old ones. Probably some new features were added, some necessary modifications were done. What’s the point of using a supposedly good Quick Dry Cargo Shorts if that’s no longer continued by the manufacturer? We try to feature products that are up-to-date and sold by at least one reliable seller, if not several.
- Negative Ratings: Yes, we take that into consideration too! When we pick the top rated Quick Dry Cargo Shorts on the market, the products that got mostly negative ratings get filtered and discarded.

To report the clinical and neuropathological features in a patient with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with amyotrophy and demyelinating polyneuropathy.
Patient and Results
A 62-year-old man had progressive numbness of the left foot, unsteady gait, diminished deep reflexes, fasciculations, and tactile hypesthesia on the feet. Cerebrospinal fluid, electroneurography, and electromyography were suggestive of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. He was treated with plasmapheresis, corticosteroids, and immunglobulins, with minimal improvement. After 2 months, severe amyotrophy, polyneuropathy, cerebellar signs, and dementia developed, and he died 8 months after onset of the disease. Autopsy and prion protein immunohistochemistry proved typical Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. No mutation was found in the prion protein gene, and the codon 129 polymorphism was methionine-valine. In the ventral horn, the loss of the motoneurons was accompanied by prion protein immunoreactivity. The peripheral nerves were segmentally demyelinated but free of prion protein deposition.
The view that peripheral neuropathy and amyotrophy may occasionally be an integral part of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is supported by our case, which showed these abnormalities simultaneously. These symptoms, when prominent, may cause problems in differential diagnosis.
CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB disease (CJD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by deposition of the abnormal isoform of prion protein (PrPSc), severe neuronal loss, and astrocytosis with spongiform change of the cortical and subcortical gray matter. The spinal cord is frequently involved but rarely examined. Here PrPSc is commonly deposited in the superficial layers of the dorsal horn.1,2 Although the main clinical symptoms are related to the damage of the brain, in some cases the spinal cord and the peripheral nervous system are preferentially involved. In a recent review of the literature by Worrall et al,3 24 sporadic and 26 familial cases of prion disease were found to have amyotrophy (muscle atrophy and fasciculation). Demyelinating polyneuropathy is a rare consequence of CJD; only 7 patients have been described in the literature.4-9 Prominent fasciculation usually is a sign of the motoneuron damage, but it can be rarely caused by motor neuropathy with conduction block. These atypical cases may cause problems in differential diagnosis. Herein we report a case of sporadic CJD with prominent muscle atrophy and fasciculation resembling chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and late dementia.
Report of a case
A 62-year-old man with a history of tonsillectomy began having problems in November 1998 when numbness of the left foot and walking disability developed. These symptoms progressed within 5 months. When he was first seen in April 1999, he had bilateral hyposmia and hypacusis. There was no muscle atrophy, weakness, or hyperkinesis, but deep reflexes were symmetrically weak and fasciculations were seen in the calf muscles. Tactile hypesthesia was found on the left foot and calf with preserved deep sensation. He had mild dysdiadochokinesis and ataxia of the limbs and was barely able to stand in Romberg position. His gait was ataxic, especially with closed eyes. He had primitive reflexes and was depressed. His score on the Mini-Mental State Examination was 27/30.
Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed mild atrophy with frontal dominance; single photon emission computed tomography detected right frontobasal hypoperfusion. Magnetic resonance images of the cervical and thoracic spine were normal. Electroencephalograms were normal during the course of the disease. Cerebrospinal fluid examination showed 4 cells/µL (lymphocytes) with protein content of 0.5 g/L and a normal electrophoretic pattern.
Motor nerve conduction studies (Table 1) showed mild to moderate slowing, with prominent temporal dispersion. F-wave minimal latencies were moderately increased in the upper limbs (33 milliseconds for the median nerve and 36 milliseconds for the ulnar nerve) and very much increased in the lower limbs (63 milliseconds for the peroneal nerve and 73 milliseconds for the tibial nerve). Sensory potentials were unobtainable in both upper and lower limbs (median, ulnar, sural). In addition, spinal or cortical responses were not identified on tibial somatosensory evoked potential examination. Needle electromyography of the left tibialis anterior muscle recorded a few fasciculation and fibrillation potentials, the interference pattern was full, and motor unit potential analysis showed a few motor units with increased amplitude (maximum, 5.6 mV), indicative of mild chronic neurogenic changes. In the left abductor digiti minimi muscle, spontaneous activity was not recorded, the interference pattern was full, and motor unit potential analysis showed a few motor units with increased amplitude (maximum, 4.7 mV), suggesting mild chronic neurogenic changes.
These findings were consonant with the clinical picture, so at this stage an acquired polyneuropathy with segmental demyelination and only little axonal involvement (such as CIDP) was diagnosed. The clinical symptoms and the cerebrospinal fluid findings ruled out Guillain-Barré syndrome. To exclude paraneoplastic origin, tumor was looked for with extensive imaging studies and tumor markers, which all proved to be negative. Viral serologic examinations were negative.
With the putative diagnosis of CIDP, the patient received 5 courses of plasmapheresis, with only minimal initial improvement; therefore, corticosteroids and immunoglobulins were administered. His condition quickly worsened, however, and he was hospitalized again in June 1999. Distal sensory deficit, fasciculation, diminished tendon reflexes, mild tetraparesis, and generalized muscle atrophy were observed. The ataxia of the limbs progressed to a degree that the patient was no longer able to walk. Cognitive deficit also became apparent at this time, with frontal lobe signs and slight short-term memory loss. The score on the Mini-Mental State Examination was 24/30 and decreased to 14/30 in just 2 weeks. The patient lost initiative and became apathetic. Nerve conduction studies suggested a slight increase in the degree of segmental demyelination. Needle electromyography of the left tibialis anterior, vastus lateralis, and abductor digiti minimi muscles showed no increase of spontaneous activity or change in motor unit potentials, although interference patterns were slightly reduced. The lack of ongoing denervation and reinnervation spoke against significant acute axonal or motoneuron involvement. The patient died of bronchopneumonia at the end of July 1999, 8 months after the onset of symptoms.
On autopsy, the brain weighed 1340 g and the brainstem with the cerebellum was 160 g. Slight frontopolar atrophy and enlarged ventricles were found on coronal slices. No focal changes were seen. On light microscopy, extensive spongiform change, neuronal loss, and astrocytosis were found in the cerebral cortex, the cerebellum, the basal ganglia, the thalamus, and the brainstem. There was astrocytosis also in the deep white matter. Immunohistochemistry for PrP (antibody 12F10 [courtesy of G. Hunsmann, PhD, German Primate Centre, Göttingen, Germany] in a dilution of 1:250) showed extensive PrP deposits appearing in diffuse, punctate, pericellular, and plaquelike forms (Figure 1, A). Diffuse staining of the spinal posterior horn was seen (Figure 1, B). The density of the motoneurons decreased in the ventral horn of the spinal cord, with degeneration of the Nissl substance. Immunoreactivity to PrP was detected around the motoneurons and in the neuropil of the ventral horn (Figure 1, C). The peripheral nerves were free of PrP. Demyelination was seen in the right C5 ventral root with Masson trichrome staining (Figure 1, D). The PrP gene was sequenced from frozen blood,8 and no mutation was found. The codon 129 polymorphism was methionine-valine.

C, Ventral horn of the spinal cord showing PrP immunoreactivity around the motoneurons (hematoxylin counterstain, original magnification ×200). D, Demyelination in the C5 spinal root (Masson trichrome, original magnification ×1200).
The view that peripheral neuropathy may occasionally be an integral part of CJD is supported by our case. Few similar cases were published previously, none of them having early polyneuropathy, amyotrophy, and late dementia. Vallat el al5 reported a panencephalitic form of familial CJD with 5 years of history. Although the patient did not have clinical features of peripheral neuropathy, peripheral nerves showed evident demyelination. Two familial cases with a codon 200 mutation of the PrP gene were reported by Neufeld et al.7 Their first patient was a 60-year-old man with an 18-month history of CJD diagnosed by brain biopsy findings and by transmission of the spongiform encephalopathy to a chimpanzee with his brain tissue. He had clinical signs of polyneuropathy and no demyelination in the sural nerve biopsy specimen. The second patient was a 57-year-old man with prominent fasciculation and brisk deep tendon reflexes. His electroencephalogram showed triphasic waves, and severe demyelination was found in sural nerve biopsy. Antoine et al8 also published a report of a familial case of CJD with Glu200Lys mutation of the PrP gene with early dementia, cerebellar signs, and polyneuropathy. Three sporadic cases have been published in the literature. Esiri et al9 described a 63-year-old man with a 3-month disease history with early cerebellar signs and painful polyneuropathy. At autopsy, spongiform changes were seen in the subcortical gray matter and cerebellar cortex, with only slight involvement of the cortex. No spinal cord or peripheral tissue was available. A case reported by Sadeh et al6 had clinical signs of polyneuropathy and typical features of CJD with a duration of 20 months, while the case reported by Lope et al4 had acute ascending Guillain-Barre–like syndrome.
Neuropathological studies on spinal cords of patients with iatrogenic CJD (growth hormone recipients) have shown extensive PrP deposition in the ventral and dorsal horns, while patients with sporadic CJD had PrP deposition mainly in the dorsal horn.1,10 The peripheral nerves of patients with sporadic CJD were normal in a recent study by Hainfellner and Budka,10 although in experimental scrapie peripheral nerves contained PrP deposition.11
Our patient had a syndrome resembling CIDP as the initial sign with severe muscle atrophy and fasciculation, which is not typical in CIDP. The morphologic alterations of the spinal motoneurons might be the cause of the fasciculations, although electrophysiologic studies were not confirmatory.
The view that peripheral neuropathy and amyotrophy may be an integral part of CJD is supported by our case, which is the first described, to our knowledge, to show these abnormalities simultaneously. These symptoms, when prominent, may cause problems in differential diagnosis.

Canadian professor Homa Hoodfar, imprisoned in Iran, still not allowed contact with family, lawyer – Homa Hoodfar, the Concordia University professor …
Homa Hoodfar, the Concordia University professor seized in Iran, has disappeared into Evin prison. Her family and her lawyer have been refused all contact in the two weeks since she was suddenly arrested in Tehran.
“We have heard she’s been detained in a specific branch of Evin prison — Branch 2A, which is under the control of the counter-intelligence unit of the (Iran’s) Revolutionary Guards,” says her niece, Amanda Ghahremani speaking to CBC from Montreal.
“Other than that we have no details of her arrest or detention.”
Hoodfar, a professor of anthropology, with Iranian and Canadian passports, was on a mostly private visit to Iran to see friends and to do some research into women in the public sphere. She has a long academic career in gender issues, much of it in majority Muslim countries.
She was first visited by the intelligence unit of Iran’s
Revolutionary Guards in March, at her apartment in Tehran, where they seized a computer, her phone, and her passport; she was forbidden to leave Iran. On June 6, during another interrogation, she was arrested.
Her niece says in spite of no official charges, and no access to her file, details about Hoodfar and the charges against her are being leaked to conservative Iranian media with links to the Revolutionary Guard.

First, I dedicate this album to my best friend Sandie, without whom my life would be much less colorful. This was always going to be her favorite CD, anyone who ever met her would know that.
To my friend and colleague Lee Bartley, who supported this recording by tuning my Steinway daily during the sessions, for which he will have my eternal gratitude and free copies (yes, Lee, free copies; don’t argue with me about that!) Also, it was Lee who put his foot down and said we’re recording it this year, 2011; not 2012 or who knows when; for which he’ll have my eternal gratitude in my next life, too.
To my husband Alan, aka roadie-techie-groupie, who once again took on the nerve-wracking job of sound engineer. I am blessed to be able to record at home, and that blessing comes to me by way of my favorite cowboy ever.
To my best friend Phyllis, the Technology Cheerleader & quite a musician in her own right, who reorients me when I start to go off the rails. She says I figure it all out for myself, but I just need to see her face to know whether to change direction. Every artist needs someone who has been absolutely rock-solid in support of their artistic vision, someone whose positivity never wavers. Phyllis has given me that for more decades than either of us wishes to count, and thus I am richly blessed.
To my Mountainair friends, who don’t see any contradiction in my being a classical pianist who loves howling stomping crazy blues — thanks! I needed that!
Finally, to you:
Enjoy the music on those days you want to just break loose & have a good time. Or whenever you want to be reminded of those days. Thanks for listening!
Recorded at Tranquillity Base Studio, Mountainair, New Mexico, October 2011.

It's really rather disturbing.
He's just awoken from a frightfully vivid dream and he's torn between the conflicting desires that form the basis of human nature: will he forget it ever happened, or will he record everything, remember it all, preserve for whatever posterity will appreciate his works?
He's a mathematician. The choice is obvious, but as he scribbles down recollections and revelations from his noctural visions, the words seem to blur and fade. He has captured the theorem, the essential spirit of his dream, what Erdös would surely accept as an integral page of the Book; but in his haste, Fermat has forgotten the proof. He has that frustrated itchy-feeling-behind-eyes knowledge that it's right there, and everything in the room connotes an eerie sense of déjà vu as though he's awoken like this before.
Perhaps a mathematician's worst nightmare is the inability to write down the things that one knows to be true. His haste, frustration, and rage culminate in a tiny phrase chiselled in the margin of a textbook: "Cuius rei demonstrationem mirabilem sane dextei hanc marginis exiguitas non caperet". I have laid bare a truly wonderful proof of this phenomenon; which proof the paucity of the margin cannot contain, he writes, and he means it with every atom of his being. The confines of his own mind limit his understanding in a way that is more than unacceptable; it is unbearable.
In a perfectly anechoic chamber, the walls absorb all sound; none permeates. A similar sudden stillness arises in that evening as Fermat screams internally, then falls silent. He abandons the proof as a phantom lurking in the vagaries of the human mind, and he tries to move on. Slowly, the dreams with their terrifying jagged edges and their rough, alien fractal dimensions are lost. When he dreams, it is of fine French wine and women.
Fermat dies in 1665.
Some centuries later, Andrew Wiles has a secret passion within the recesses of his imagination. He has seen this miraculous assertion of Fermat; he has witnessed the grasping of straws and faulty proofs and hopelessly contradictory lemmas that Fermat has inspired.
This, his professional life's work, is practially unknown to the world; he's told his wife Nada about his fixation, but his children don't care for stories about dead French men, and he'd jeopardize his dream if he revealed his ambitions to anyone else.
He works furtively for seven years in a dark attic, voluntarily imposing upon himself the cloistered sense of entrapment that Fermat refused to confront. By the nineties he has announced his 150-page proof and has acquired international recognition.
In an interview with Nova, he asserts quite candidly that "I don't believe Fermat had a proof. I think he fooled himself into thinking he had a proof."
Wiles goes on to discover larger and more meaningful truths of mathematics, to reveal more pages of the Book for the good of humanity. His proof gradually falls through the cracks of trivialty and is only of use as an assumption in an obscure branch of elliptic curve analysis.
No one will ever pursue; no one will ever discover Fermat's lost dream; his fantastically meaningful discovery will remain a fantasy at last forgotten even by the poets and dreamers. Self-validation escapes him eternally.
Fermat will never find solace of yes.

The Sunday Mail
THE Government plans to put over 90 000 hectares under wheat during this year’s winter season, which could potentially yield another record harvest.
The authorities are targeting a haul of 450 000 tonnes of the cereal, which is about 90 000 tonnes more than local demand.
Assessments are currently being done to ensure there is enough water in the country’s dams for irrigation.
The Government is also mobilising resources such as seed, tractors, fuel and fertilisers.
In an interview with The Sunday Mail, Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development Deputy Minister Vangelis Haritatos said: “As you know, we have had two seasons of fabulous and record-breaking production of winter wheat, where we have produced substantial amounts, even surpassing what the country requires.
“Only two countries on the continent have produced enough wheat and we were fortunate to be one of those. We are looking at breaking even more records . . . ”
Despite the 2023/2024 summer cropping season being affected by the El Niño weather phenomenon, he said, the authorities were confident there would be sufficient water for irrigation.
The current national dam level average stands at around 84,2 percent, down from 84,4 percent on February 14, 2024.
“We all know that we are in an El Niño season, so things were very tricky this current season, but the only good part of this is that at least our dams are full,” he added.
“So, as we go into the winter season, and we have already started preparations as a ministry to ensure that we have enough inputs . . . We are looking at our dam levels now to see if our targets can be achieved and our hectares can be achieved.
“For now, our target is 90 000 hectares, but once we are finished with assessing our targets in terms of our water usage, then we will be able to publish exactly what we are looking for during the winter season.
“But we are expecting that it will be another record season.
“We remain optimistic.
“We want to produce enough wheat, not only for Zimbabwe as I mentioned, but also for the region.”
Zimbabwe requires about 360 000 tonnes of wheat annually for domestic consumption.
Experts say several factors, including increased investment and farmer support initiatives, have contributed to Zimbabwe’s bumper wheat harvests in the past two seasons.
The Government has allocated more resources for irrigation infrastructure development, as well as providing subsidised inputs like fertilisers and seeds, and guaranteed producer prices to incentivise farmers.
Extension services have been strengthened to offer training and technical assistance to farmers on improved agronomic practices, pest and disease control, and water management techniques.
In addition, the Government has designated winter wheat as a strategic crop, ensuring it receives preferential treatment in terms of resource allocation and policy focus

While there is not a night and day difference in the level of performance between our last Intel benchmarks and today's tests, there did seem to be a minor performance boost. In addition, the open-source Intel driver had now worked better with Unreal Tournament 2004 where it had failed in the past. In one Unreal Tournament 2004 benchmark, the GMA 3000 had even out-performed the Radeon X300SE. Certainly great progress has been made with the open-source Intel Linux graphics driver, but much work is left to be accomplished. The Intel driver will not be ready for Unreal Tournament 3 (2007) or Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, but the driver is certainly instrumental for desktop users and those enjoying the vast variety of open-source games. For being an integrated graphics processor, the GMA 3000 is not that bad. As further progress is made with these drivers we will be here to cover them.

Ever wondered what the toilet of tomorrow will look like?
The toilet of tomorrow will not flush about on its own pot of porcelain, nor will it necessarily compost. The toilet of tomorrow will be a self-regulating and mindful machine, eminently cognizant of the water crises ahead.
It will save you, the consumer, up to 83% in water. But perhaps the most amazing thing about the toilet of tomorrow is that it won’t just be a toilet. It will be a toilet/sink/vanity/live/work-space.
Witness the Equa, which marries sink and urinal into one water-regulating unit.
Brazilian designer Juliana Lopes designed this practical, hygienic and comfortable 2-for-1 toilet.
This Roca design had people rushing to the loo when it first premiered at the London Design Festival.
It’s a self-sufficient water-recycling toilet/sink. It’s also automated to shoo away not so pleasant smells and wily bacteria. Judging from the photo, it also doubles as a home office so you can really maximize every minute…
The Home Core all-in-one toilet (“all-in-one” meaning toilet bowl, basin, mirror and vanity table with one big flush) looks like a giant coffee maker, but is really an amazing multi-tasker designed for small spaces or for the design addicted.
The built-in storage tank reuses water saved from hand washing to flush the toilet.
Get ready to save 83% of your toilet’s water with this Ariel Rojo-designed toilet called the Tlalokc.
It works the same way as the Home Core, in that it also recycles gray water from washing for flushing.
Masquerading as a regular toilet found in most American homes, the Caroma Profile Smart 305 Round Front Plus is anything but.
It’s a highly efficient dual flush system with an extremely “large trapway [that] virtually eliminates blockages.”
The Neo-Metro Neo-Comby toilet/sink is all about industrial-sleek.
It even comes with a towel rack and toilet paper holder. The money you’ll save in water costs will help splurging on a $4,709.60 unit.


Fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe "undercut his credibility," Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said Sunday, calling his ouster one that bureau colleagues themselves recommended.
The long-serving bureau veteran has nobody to blame but himself, Gowdy told "Fox News Sunday."
"Andy McCabe has undercut his credibility all by himself," the House Oversight Committee chairman said.
"If he's got credibility issues, he need to look no further than himself," he added.
But Gowdy said he will await judgment until the Justice Department's inspector general report is released.
"Make no mistake — the FBI is who recommended that he be fired," Gowdy said. "It wasn't crazy House Republicans, and it wasn't the Trump administration. It was his own fellow bureau agents."
Gowdy also scolded John Dowd, the lawyer for President Donald Trump, who has said the Mueller probe should end.
"The president's attorney does him a disservice when he says that and when he frames the investigation that way," he said, adding the Mueller probe has elements that have "nothing to do with collusion."
"If you have an innocent client, Mr. Dowd, act like it!" Gowdy said.

Seven West Media, the parent company of Australia’s top-ranked Seven Network, has announced plans to raise $A440M ($450M) by selling new shares in a move that will reduce net debt to $1.4B. Its two largest shareholders, Kerry Stokes‘ Seven Group Holdings, which owns 33.2%, and private equity firm KKR, which has 11.8%, will both buy shares equaling their current stakes. The offer price of $1.32 per share is an 18.5% discount on last Friday’s $1.62 closing price. The price has halved this year as media stocks have been battered amid a slowing economy and investor concerns. The company also noted the “continued weakness in the wider advertising market.” Stokes made headlines last month when his Seven Group Holdings said it was “actively considering acquiring further shares” in Consolidated Media Holdings, just after News Corp had bid $2B for the company. Seven Group Holdings owns 24% of CMH, but the market was skeptical that Stokes could outbid Rupert Murdoch. “He may be trying to extract a higher offer from News,” an analyst told Deadline at the time.

A Beginner’s Guide to Online Slots Bonus Gambling With Strictly Slots
Online Slots are a game of chance – where results are determined by a Random Number Generator (RNG). Regardless of whether you’re already familiar with these types of gambling games, or a novice to the game, getting started with online slots bonus offers is a great place to start.
Although you need to have made a deposit before receiving up to 100% cash match bonus offer with Strictly Slots, you’ll be able to use this to
- Play featured slots games with casino credit ( rather than your own!)
- Keep what you win when meeting the wagering requirements
- Discover new games and learn how to play them
Can you really keep what you win with casino bonuses?
To be honest, if players could easily keep everything that they win when playing with free casino money ( as that’s basically what bonuses are), then these online gambling destinations will quickly go out of business. Depending on the casino, you will generally get to keep a portion of what you win, but you’d need to be familiar with a few common Ts & Cs beforehand.
These can include (but are not restricted to)
- The wagering requirements: How many times does the bonus need to be played through before you can meet them? For example, a 40x wagering requirement means you will have yo play-through your bonus 40 times before you can withdraw any winnings. Case: 100% up to £100 with x40 wagering requirements. Bonus money example: Deposit £50 and get £50 bonus money. The wagering requirement is the bonus money multiplied by 40 (£50 x 40 = £2000).
- The conversion rate, and whether wins that have cleared the wagering requirements are capped at a specific amount.
- Time Limit: Is there an expiry date on the bonus?
- Restrictions: Certain games such as Roulette and Blackjack which have a high Return to Player ( RTP) are not allowed to be played with casino bonus offers. Make sure you know which these are before you start
Real Money Games Online & Making The Most From Your Online Slots Bonus
If you want to play for real money, there are a number of different online casinos available. Most of these online casinos will allow you to sign up for free, and most of them will allow you to play against other players or even against the computer.
Online Slots are a wonderful way to enjoy gambling online. That said, remember to keep your wits about you, as it’s easy to lose focus when you’re having fun. You should always remember that while there is a lot of excitement and real money gains to be had, there is also risk. Therefore, make the most out of your online slots bonus by reading the Terms & Conditions beforehand.
A final word on playing with bonuses online…
As with anything else, online Slots games are better played for fun than for profit. You can win a lot of money, but the only thing that matters in Slots is that you have fun and enjoy yourself. This way, you always come out the winner and anything on top of that is a bonus!

When Amazon is ‘in’ your pocket’: Sex toys and online shopping are coming to Fortnite
It’s not every day that you get a chance to play the game you love so much.
But if you’re a fan of competitive online shooter, you might be interested in a toy that can help you out with your daily needs.
Amazon has recently made it easier for gamers to buy virtual items like virtual guns and hats online and is now allowing people to purchase these items in the game for real money.
In a post on the Fortnites website, the company explains that you can buy items like this in Fortnits virtual store:”For the first time ever, Fortnit players can buy virtual goods directly from the game, including virtual guns, hats, and accessories.”
The Fortnited store is currently live on Steam and the FortNites website lists the “Gun N’ Hat Bundle” as being available for $29.99.
This bundle includes the gun, a hat, two hats, a bow, two bows, and a set of two weapons that are “as close to real weapons as you can get.”
For those who don’t want to buy a bundle of guns, they can also purchase an “Armor Bundle” which includes two armor sets and “the latest weapons and gear from the Fortress store.”
As for items that aren’t available in the Forti-tite online store, Amazon has partnered with the gaming company Blizzard to create the Fortifications for Heroes online store.
This store also sells the “Fortifications for Hero” bundle which includes the game’s first three maps, as well as three “Fortified” heroes and five skins.
The Fortifications are sold through a special store called “Fortnite Store” and can be purchased with in-game gold.
But Amazon says it’s only available to FortiTites “soldiers, soldiers, or anyone else with a Fortnition account.”
For now, FortNite players will have to rely on their friends to get in on the fun.
It looks like players are having fun with their Fortniting characters.

If you plan to watch this film, bring an ample bucket of patience along with your popcorn. Within 15 minutes, this flick descends into murky and contrived situations that will leave your head spinning. You are watching two parallel films (one in the present, one in flashbacks 32 years earlier), but you're also watching perhaps two or three OTHER sub-plotted films, with shady and brutal characters weaving in and out, some appearing or reappearing or just disappearing altogether.
The 'plot' for this flick is so contrived that, as a mere mortal, I'm at a loss to explain it. As an act of symbolism (what happens to children snatched from birth), it works, at least on one level.
Guillaume Cantet plays Eric, the son of a father he never knew (he was abandoned at birth). He receives an urn containing the ashes of his father from (what else?) a mysterious source who (what else?) REMAINS mysterious. We presume the urn really contained not ashes, but drugs, coveted by nasty druglords who come from somewhere (Marseilles? Paris? Who knows?) As with so much in this film, these shadowy druglords are enigmatic figures used as 'add-ons' when we already have too many 'add-ons'.
A barely recognizable Thierry Lhermitte plays a man who needs some kind of brain 'graft' if he wishes to survive. Such a 'graft' can only come from his daughter, who may, or may not be, Cecile (Vanessa Paradis), a cheap roadside hooker who manages to be kidnapped by the druglords, hidden in a cellar, and escapes through an odd, and, yes, confusing twist of events.
I kept rewinding this film, trying to really understand it. No such luck. The 'clef' (key) of the title re-emerges in the end, in yet another peculiar twist that isn't really explored. And that pretty well sums up this flick for me: a lot of tantalizing 'twists'.
The terrific Josie Balasko plays Michele, a dogged and philosophical detective in the 1970s who believes in 'parallel universes' -- intimate events affecting people connected in different places and time. The great Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski explored this theme on numerous occasions, most successfully perhaps in 'The Double Life of Veronique'. This 'parallel' theme is really what this film is supposed to be about, it seems to me, but it just doesn't work.
Marie Gillain plays Eric's long-suffering wife Audrey. Unfortunately, she doesn't have much to do in this film.
This should have been a superlative thriller, but it couldn't find a cohesive thread to compound the suspense. It has a lot of style with jolt-a-minute editing and often irritating (and disruptive) hand-held camera work. In short: as so often happens in movies such as La Clef, style supersedes substance.

- Wegmans has added two compressed natural gas (CNG) trucks, which come equipped with near-zero NOx emissions Cummins engines, to its fleet of vehicles as part of its new partnership with Hyliion, the company announced in a press release last Thursday. One of the Volvo CNG trucks holds a Hyliion Hybrid CNG system, which allows it to pull tandem trailer sets — a task previously only possible with Wegmans’ diesel vehicles.
- With the new Hyliion partnership, Wegmans has 19 CNG trucks in operation, out of a total of almost 175 trucks overall. The CNG trucks can stay in service between two to five years longer than diesel vehicles, and the newest CNG trucks offer a 30% increase in fuel capacity over older trucks, to a fuel capacity equivalent to diesel.
- The addition of CNG trucks to Wegmans’ fleet is part of the company’s long-term strategy to reduce its carbon footprint, which has seen a more than 10% reduction in its emissions since 2014.
Wegmans’ newest hybrid Volvo truck — fitted with a Hyliion Hybrid CNG system, which provides enough torque and horsepower for it to pull a tandem trailer set — could act as a model for grocery distribution vehicles as the chain moves away from diesel. The CNG trucks, compared to their diesel equivalent, produce less carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide and equate to 65% fuel cost savings per truck over their time in operation.
Several major grocery chains, including Wegmans, have committed to reducing their carbon emissions, including in their distribution processes. Last month, Ahold Delhaize announced its plans to cut its emissions by 50% by 2030 to minimize its impact on the climate. It also announced this summer it invested $180 million into renewable energy installations, energy-efficient equipment, solar panels at distribution centers and more.
Tesla Semis, fully electric vehicles promising a range of 500 miles with a single charge, have also attracted grocers. Albertsons ordered 10 to its Southern California fleet and Walmart ordered 40 as part of its plan to have its Canadian operations rely exclusively on alternative power by this year.
According to Nielson, 66% of shoppers will pay more for sustainable brands, and that statistic goes up among younger consumers. Proactive steps to address not only food waste, but also the company’s carbon footprint, make for positive marketing. To promote its sustainability efforts, Wegmans has a page on its website detailing its work. In addition to the new CNG trucks, the company has sought to reduce refrigerant emissions with its in-store technology, shifted to more sustainable packaging using plant-based renewable fiber and pledged to reduce food waste 50% by 2030.


TNT Sports have made a change to their broadcast schedule for this weekend’s Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby fixtures, with Loughborough Lightning’s clash with Trailfinders Women no longer being screened live.
Saturday’s Round 9 match is scheduled to be held at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens (kick-off: 2pm), and had originally been selected by TNT Sports to be this weekend’s live broadcast match.
However, given adverse weather conditions this week (with freezing cold temperatures sweeping the country), the broadcaster has elected to show Gloucester-Hartpury versus Saracens instead – which will be played on the all-weather pitch at Kingsholm Stadium.
The all-natural grass pitch at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens has been covered by frost sheets since Sunday, and the game is currently still expected to be played in Northampton.
If the pitch is frozen and deemed unsuitable for play, Lightning will revert to the all-weather pitch at Epinal Way (Loughborough University) to host the match. Should there be any change made to the venue, this will be communicated via Lightning’s social media channels and website by Thursday evening.
With the match no longer being televised, the only way to watch Lightning versus Trailfinders live is by purchasing a ticket from as little as £6 for adults and £3 for juniors*.

Dorothy Gale is swept away from a farm in Kansas to a magical land of Oz in a tornado and embarks on a quest with her new friends to see the Wizard who can help her return home to Kansas and help her friends as well.
In order to power the city, monsters have to scare children so that they scream. However, the children are toxic to the monsters, and after a child gets through, 2 monsters realize things may not be what they think.
In this charming film based on the popular L. Frank Baum stories, Dorothy and her dog Toto are caught in a tornado's path and somehow end up in the land of Oz. Here she meets some memorable friends and foes in her journey to meet the Wizard of Oz who everyone says can help her return home and possibly grant her new friends their goals of a brain, heart and courage.Written by
Throughout the rest of his career, Jack Haley denounced the idea that the making of this film was enjoyable: "People question me, like you're questioning me now, say 'Must've been fun making "The Wizard of Oz".' It was not fun. Like hell it was fun. It was a lot of hard work. It was not fun at all." See more »
Towards the end of the King of the Forrest scene, Dorothy holds the carpet that acts as the King's train. As she walks, at 1hr 37mins 35secs she trips on the remaining carpet. Rather, her right foot slips backwards as it steps onto the carpet. Her left foot then lifts the edge of the carpet. She recovers very well, but the carpet remains bunched up after her falter.

She isn't coming yet, Toto. Did she hurt you? She tried to, didn't she? Come on. We'll go tell Uncle Henry and Auntie Em.

Toto is listed in the end credits as being played by Toto, when he was actually played by a dog named Terry. See more »
In 2004 and 2005 Warner Bros. restored the film using their digital Ultra Resolution technique for the film's 2005 re-release on DVD. This corrected the issues regarding the three Technicolor strips becoming misaligned during the 1998 restoration and also presented the film in its best quality to date. See more »
The NBC Peacock began unfolding its wings. "The following program is brought to you in living color--with portions in black & white--on NBC." That exclusive intro began my exposure to color television at Grandma's in 1968. When Dorothy stepped out into Technicolor, I'll bet my eyes just popped.
This is the Movie of All Time, folks--a status achieved during its long run as a huge annual TV event during that classic era whose programs now show up on TV Land network. In the 1970s, Peter Marshall once read the answer on Hollywood Squares as to the program seen more times by more people than anything else ever shown on television. It was "Oz." Likewise, no movie has the hold on popular culture that this one does. What lion character ever since (i.e., Snagglepuss) hasn't been an impersonation of Bert Lahr going, "Put 'em up, put 'em uuuuup!"
Few musicals offer an equal combination of lovable music and engaging story. Perhaps "The Sound of Music." Hard to think of many Hollywood musicals where the story gets as serious as it does here when the Witch informs Dorothy that, "The last to go will see the first three go before her...and her mangy little dog too!" Yikes! In contrast, even the best of other Hollywood musicals seem to serve up fluffy, forgettable story lines that are mere backdrop to the song numbers that typically put the plot on hold.
I can't say that "Oz" doesn't have technical flaws or story element inconsistencies. It's just that the astonishing production values all around so overwhelm the shortcomings. The tornado sequence is a 1939 special effects tour de force--incredible. And the Nutcracker-quality musical score offers songs tastefully interwoven with the action. Certain numbers like "Merry Old Land of Oz," I never get tired off, though I like each of the songs.
Oz should be viewed in the lightness of spirit that it deserves. I mean look, we have Frank Morgan as the Emerald City gatekeeper, then seconds later as the cabbie with the Horse of a Different Color, then the Wizard's palace guard, and then the voice of fire-and-smoke Wizard of Oz who bellows, "Step forward, Tin Man!" What other film could put an actor go through 4 quick-changes within 10 minutes to such an endearing result? "Oz" is as magic as those sparkling ruby shoes.
The early Technicolor process utilized triple nitrate negative strips--separately recording each primary color in light. This was done due to the lack of a suitable "color film" in 1939. That would quickly change--but films from years following suffered from hues that faded with the years, even original negatives. Because "Oz" was actually filmed on a black-and-white base film, the negatives never faded. So now we have home videos/DVDs of breathtaking color quality. Now, the tinted filters in the cameras that separated the colors onto the negative strips meant that intense illumination was required, rendering the filming experience miserably hot for the actors involved, especially Lahr. But they all hold up amazingly well.
"Oz" has a valuable message. As the pop group America once said, "No, Oz never did give nothin' to the Tin Man....that he didn't, didn't already have." If we have truly search, we can find within us--or create through trial, like the Lion's courage--what we think we most lack. The Wizard (like the Lord) helps those who find help within themselves.
I feel sorry for the Almira Gulches who can't treasure this film experience. They need to visit the Emerald City to get their own ticking Testimonials and find their hearts.
Didn't bring your broomsticks with you? Well, I'm afraid you'll have to walk.

These portraits were taken of oranges trees, covered for the simple purpose of inhibiting pollination from seeded varieties in surrounding groves, so as to create seedless oranges. The photographer gives thanks to the farmers who unknowingly contributed to his work by covering their trees so dramatically.
“Initially, I took pictures in this area because I sensed the possibility of images unlike any I had ever taken, not knowing what might follow. I went to this place several times on clear and sunny days and came home with pictures that were vaguely interesting but falling short for sure. Then one dark and cloudy day, I returned to find a completely different place, and finally realized what was missing: weight.
The rains came and I began taking pictures of only the ends of the rows in these groves, the skies dark and the trees heavy with moisture. They began looking like individuals to me – ladies - each with a distinct personality. With sadness and loneliness in common, they were all residents of some mysterious place of their own meant for brides-to-be, jilted, left at the altar, perhaps, all of them beautiful.”

Ex-FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said the monkeypox outbreak is hard to contain at this point.
"We could have gotten control of this if we had been more aggressive up front," he said.
Gottlieb said the US rolled out vaccines too slowly and the window for control of the outbreak "probably has closed."
Scott Gottlieb, former commissioner of the US Food and Drug Administration, said Sunday that the US has likely missed the ball on containing the monkeypox outbreak.
"I think at this point, we've failed to contain this," Gottlieb said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "We're now at the cusp of this becoming an endemic virus where this now becomes something that's persistent that we need to continue to deal with."
"I think the window for getting control of this and containing it probably has closed, and if it hasn't closed, it's certainly starting to close," he continued.
As of July 15, there are more than 1,800 confirmed monkeypox cases in the United States, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Every single US state, including DC and Puerto Rico, have at least one confirmed case, CDC data say.
Symptoms of monkeypox include fever and a rash or lesions, but the World Health Organization says some people have also experienced atypical symptoms, including anal pain and bleeding, the absence of lesions or lesions that do not spread beyond the genitals.
Monkeypox is most prevalent in men who have sex with men, but experts say it can spread to anyone in close contact to someone with the virus. The CDC recommends those who may have been exposed to monkeypox to avoid sexual or physical contact.
Last month, the Department of Health and Human Services announced it would deploy close to 300,000 monkeypox vaccines in an attempt to slow the spread of the virus.
But Gottlieb, in his CBS interview, criticized the US response, saying "we made a lot of the same mistakes that we made with COVID."
"This is a slower moving virus, which is why we could have gotten control of this if we had been more aggressive up front," he said, specifically referencing the slow vaccine rollout.
"Now this is firmly embedded in the community," Gottlieb said. "And while it's not going to explode, because it's harder for this virus to spread, it's probably going to be persistent, you'll-you'll have this as a sort of a fact of life, maybe spreading as a sexually transmitted disease, but also breaking out of those settings."

Being part of a business so intimately involved in the fight game, I live and breathe all aspects of the sports we touch on notably Boxing. Boxing is the most popular spectator combat sport in the modern world, and its champions earn more than most other professional sportspeople. The defining fight of this big money era was the 2015 Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao event grossed more than $600 million, with the television networks taking over $400 million and Mayweather an estimated $120 million and Pacquiao around $80 million. The sport of competitive Boxing has its origins deep in the ages, and I was curious how long ago you would have to go back to understand the history and the evolution. After some digging, I quickly realized that it's not hundreds, but thousands of years in human history. Given my personality and obsessive nature, I find myself geeking out and digging further into what's unknown, so here I go sharing some of the interesting historical facts I stumbled across.
The modern boxing glove did not emerge overnight and has a rich and varied history. However, gloves utilized by modern-day martial artists have been designed and developed to adhere to the safety standards of the new age. Back then, the purpose of the covering was to increase the effect of strikes. Modern gloves, whether they are boxing gloves, MMA gloves, or some other type of gloves, serve more as protectors for both your hands and opponent.
While we may not know when the combat glove originated, we know that its use was widespread enough to be discussed in such times as Homer's Iliad, which originated around 650 BC.
According to Homer, the coverings, or himantes as they were known, were made of strips of oxhide. The fighters would wrap these strips across their knuckles and had loops that went around the fingers. All of this is a far cry from Virgil's description in the Aeneid (circa 30-10 BC). Here the coverings are described more akin to a gauntlet that produced a force so powerful that Entellus was able to defeat a bull with a single blow.
The trend towards brutality, which typifies early Greek civilizations maturity into late Greek civilization, is further evidenced in the Roman combat glove. Known as "cestus," they had a protective covering going right down to the elbow, designed to parry blows. This was a necessary attribute, given that contests were generally over in one blow. Not entirely surprising when you consider the cestus had metal plates, blades, and metal studs.
The middle-ages are often known as the dark ages because not much-recorded history exists, meaning little is known about the combat glove of the era. Cursory reviews of fistic sports in this period tend to draw a blank. This is often attributed to a move towards weapon-based events. However, given that Boxing re-emerged fully formed by the mid-eighteenth century, it is highly unlikely the discipline disappeared entirely during this period.
It may have been the dark ages for Europe, but further east, there is documented evidence that the fistic arts were still being pursued. Muay Boran, meaning ‘ancient boxing’ and a precursor to the now highly-popular Muay Thai, is one such example. The reports of the coverings combatants used during this period vary. However, there is a broad consensus that early Muay Thai fighters used bindings of hemp rope, which were tied in knots at intervals. Think hand wraps, but far more straightforward and obvious. There are other accounts of hemp cloth being soaked in glass, but these are most likely untrue.
The Modern Era
Only with Englishman Jack Broughton's invention of 'mufflers' in 1743 do we have something approaching the modern boxing glove. Instead of the basic straps of leather, we have padding, which would either be composed of lambswool or horsehair. Here we have a significant change because the objective is now to soften the blows rather than make them more useful. However, Broughton only intended for these boxing gloves to be used for sparring, where students could be guided in the rudiments of the noble art. The extent to which they did this is debatable, though, given they were practically skin tight and weighed about 2 oz.
As you learned from our previous article, 1865 saw the introduction of the Marquess of Queensbury rules, which were officially adopted in 1892. The significance of this was that it made it obligatory to wear a regulated hand covering during the bout. The official adoption of these rules occurred in the titanic heavyweight encounter between Jim Corbett and John L. Sullivan. While the rules had been applied before, this fight galvanized the public's attention and was an international phenomenon. It helped establish the wearing of gloves as a mainstay of the modern boxing world. The boxing gloves had also increased in size to around 5 oz.
As we know it today, the boxing scene is dominated by gloves of a minimum weight of 8 oz (unless for children) and 16 oz gloves for sparring.
The relatively recent discipline of MMA has seen the widespread use of a different type of glove. These gloves are generally 4-6 oz, with the individual fingers free to permit grappling maneuvers. The MMA glove bears a familiar resemblance to the equipment used in ancient times compared to the new age boxing glove.
