I thought when Mom saw what I had done to Pedro she might stop loving me, but from that night forward she may have started loving me even more. When she emerged expressionlessly from the master bedroom I was sitting on the living room sofa, gently stroking my wet clean hair with a brown towel, still stippled and muggy after my long mournful bath. She didn’t pause or speak to me. She just began packing our few belongings into pillowcases, and after a while I dressed and helped her carry everything out to the garage where our old Rambler had sat gathering dust these many months, sluggish and thick with its unstirred oils and rusty water. It started up on Mom’s first try. Then she held down the accelerator for a while and we sat there sleepily in the dark garage, staring out at the brighter and more opaque darkness beyond the roar of our Rambler’s V-8. We were lifting off. In a moment, we would be hurtling through space. Mom released the emergency brake and the V-8 subsided to a rough, hesitant idle. Then we glided down the long cement driveway while Pedro lay asleep in his calm and remorseless home, dreaming his dreams of barbiturates, beer and the soft biting blades of tools and things. God, I was filled with light that night. I was filled with Mom’s voice and the very light of her. We were moving again. We would never die. We would travel together forever in the world of inexplicit light, Mom and I.
“The history of motion is that luminous progress men and women make in the world alone,” Mom said. “We’re moving into sudden history now, baby. That life men lead and women disavow, the sure and certain sense that nothing is wrong, that life does not beat or pause, that the universe expands relentlessly. You can feel the source of all the world’s light in your beating heart, in the map of your blood, in the vast range and pace of your brain. That’s the light, baby. You don’t need any other. Just that light beating forever inside of you.” We were turning onto the freeway, which was filled with other, hurtling headlights, enormous menacing trucks and buses. “We are like astronauts, we are like wheeling planes and spaceships. We are like swaying birds with soft stroking wings like oars. We beat against the heavy air, and carry our silent and regenerate light with us wherever we go.”
It was nice Mom telling me that the light was mine too. But I knew the light was Mom’s and nobody else’s. For months I had seen nothing but my own interior darkness, and now, against the glare of Mom’s resumed motion, I could sense the entire world again as something far outside the reach of myself. No, all the light we gathered was Mom’s light, Mom’s progress into places I could only dream about. I was just a passenger, and like all passengers, unconcerned with landscape and plot, enveloped only by the simple movement, the cumulate graph of those coherent points along which we ate, slept, went to the bathroom, and awaited movement again. We could live together forever and ever, again and again, life after life. Mom didn’t have to lie anymore. She didn’t have to run or hide, she didn’t have to journey further away from me in order to remain with me as she did, deeper into her dreams of me and further away from my untrained arms. I didn’t know it then, but I was soon to learn that I couldn’t follow Mom everywhere.
THESE DAYS I was intent on immortality, because I knew Mom’s only hope of redemption lay in some expansion and unfolding of time that would swallow Mom and all her imaginings into one formless shape and sound, not a place or location so much as a dispersion of force. “Lowcholesterol diets, Mom,” I told her, browsing through a college nursing text entitled Health and Our World: 32nd Edition. “Then there’s the DNA, those complex looping signals beeping in our blood and lymph. Death’s a program, Mom. Like eating, sleeping, sex and hate. Our bodies generate death like fluids, waste, carbon dioxide, anticoagulants, marrow. DNA’s the beeping clock, unraveling time in our bodies like smoke from your cigarettes. It’s the tiniest force; it responds with information, not blood; it circulates raw and genetically contrived data, not life exactly. The heart–we’ll leave that to the regular scientists. There’s some oils in fish that cleanse the body of fatty tissue and keep the rich blood pumping. But down into the DNA is where I’ll go, Mom. When I grow up I’ll have a laboratory. I’ll invent lots of stupid consumer junk so I make lots of money. Then I’ll sink everything I’ve got into the DNA. I’ll climb down into its bristling helical nets like a spelunker. I’ll dig out every secret, and they’ll be our secrets, Mom, and we’ll live forever. We’ll buy a house overlooking the beach, and I’ll keep my laboratory in the basement. And we’ll live together without anyone bothering us for thousands and thousands of years.”
Most of the time Mom just drove without looking at me, wearing her tortoiseshell sunglasses and a floppy straw hat. She was listening, deep in her brain, but watching other roads now besides the 101. “This is King City,” she might say. “I think we’ve been to King City.” Mom’s face was very pale without makeup, but very beautiful as well. “Let’s try it anyway,” and pulled onto the next off-ramp. Soon we were winding down into a Burger King, a Wendy’s, a Motel 6, a King’s Bowl Bar and Grill. I always insisted on a salad bar in these days of Mom’s disaffection. I urged her to eat plenty of raw vegetables and fresh fish. We would pull into the parking lot and she would turn to me. “It’s got to be better than San Luis, doesn’t it? It’s got to be better than that hellhole.” Then she gave the fleshy thigh of my arm a squeeze and smiled. Only she wasn’t looking at me in a way. She was looking at me, but she wasn’t looking at me at the same time.
RATHER THAN DISAPPEARING into neon bars with her strange, unmanicured men, Mom took longer and longer looks at herself in the vanity mirrors of our motel rooms, drinking her Seagram’s and 7UP, her Scotch and Tab, her vodka and Sprite. She wore her laciest lingerie and just sat there alone. Perhaps she would paint her face with very bright makeup, or contrast her pale cheeks with soft blushes and eye shadows, leaning forward, one elbow braced against a dimpled knee, one brilliantly manicured hand splayed gently against the top of the dresser, her other hand producing various vials and Maybelline from her handbag, which bristled with crumpled Kleenex, tattered road maps, plastic cutlery and the various salt, ketchup and NutraSweet packets she had lifted from fast-food restaurants. Her breasts were fully outlined against the sheer fabric of her lingerie; her long, slightly pudgy thighs (of which she was curiously ashamed, and over which she generally wore pants or thick cotton “middie” skirts); her legs glistening with dark nylons. Sometimes, as she watched herself applying makeup, she might take a few long slow breaths. I could feel her breath in the air; I could taste its warmth against my skin and face. Sometimes her nipples grew more prominent and stiff. She removed her left hand from the table and placed it against the inside of her left thigh. Lying on my side of the bed I watched her, and my body filled with strange, smoky sensations. She wasn’t looking at me. But I was looking at her.
I began to feel a little out of breath, resting the open textbook against my thin, almost concave chest. Mom was a bird, a cloud, a car. Mom was something that breathed like me, that felt warm like me, that could move her legs like me. She wasn’t looking at me, but I was looking at her. Her face emblazoned with cosmetics, her body firm and distant and unbelievably warm. I was becoming her only man. No other men ever came around. I was watching Mom and, after a while, in the corner of my eye, Mom began watching me, her hand which held the lip gloss hovering against the edge of the dresser, her cool gaze directed at me now, as if she saw me and she didn’t see me, and I felt my entire body burning and pulsing with the light, the light, all the night’s darkness which was now turning into light, and all the sleepiness pulling at my face and filling my eyes with heat and softness and a sort of blurred and amorous detachment, and then I was falling asleep, and my body gave a sudden little kick. And as I slept I dreamed of Pedro. I dreamed of Pedro dreaming of me. Because Pedro and I understood one another perfectly now. We both loved Mom. And now we were all that remained of the strange and delusory world of Mom’s men.
MANY OF OUR surviving Visa and MasterCard cards were beginning to reach and overreach their expiration dates, and Mom and I grew stingier with our fund of invisible credit. We pulled “runners” at restaurants, coffee shops and motels. While Mom flirted in the office with mechanics and gasoline attendants, I jimmied open cash boxes on the service island with a screwdriver and pulled out the large bills from under the steel change tray. We lifted food from grocery stores and clothes from clothing stores. We took magazines, beer and cigarettes from 7-Elevens, Stop ‘N’ Shops, Liquor Barns and Walgreen’s drugstores. One afternoon at the Van Nuys Motel 6 I was returning to our room after playing one of my slow games with a sharp stick and a dead, forlorn blackbird, and found Mom carrying the color portable television from our motel room downstairs to the car. We sold it that night to a pair of diminutive, portly Mexicans—very pleasant and smiling men, as I recall—for twenty-five dollars in the parking of Serra Bowl in Encino. “Value’s generated by the world, not by consciousness,” Mom said that night as we drove south to La Jolla. “The trick is to take the world and its values and generate better worlds inside. You’ve got a choice, baby, and it’s the only choice you’ve got. Either remake the world, or allow the world to remake you. Did that sign say 101? Look for my glasses–there, on the dash. And keep an eye out for Highway 101.”
WE WERE DRIVING, always driving, and always it was night. Outside our hurtling car the darkness simmered with radio waves and the swirling, hot Santa Anas. Everything converged out there, even the heartbeats of other stars and galaxies. Pulsars, quasars, fissioning novas and supernovas, the radar of airplanes and control towers, the diminishing cries of crepuscular birds. I couldn’t look into that eternal night–and the oceans of static engulfing our AM radio every few miles or so–without thinking the question. The question surfaced like some underwater creature. It was learning to oxygenate. It was crawling from the sea’s burning muck. “Whatever happened to Dad?” I asked. I couldn’t help myself. The question was like force, blood pressure, chemistry, light. “Where is Dad now? Is he alive? At night like this, when the night is just like this, does Dad ever think about us? Is Dad a person in the world, Mom? Or does he just lie in his bed and dream? And if so, Mom, are we his dream, or is he ours?” But Mom had already grown quiet, as if the question were not mine at all, but rather part of some thin formless lapse within the continuity of Mom’s diminishing world. She never said anything for hours at a time. She was going very far away. I merely traveled. But Mom journeyed.

For the second straight game, the New England Patriots have decided to bench quarterback Mac Jones. The third-year quarterback was pulled from the team’s Week 5 contest against the New Orleans Saints in the early fourth quarter.
At that point, the Patriots were down 31-0. Jones had gone 12-for-22 for 110 yards and two interceptions, including another returned for a touchdown. He also was credited with a lost fumble on an unsuccessful toss to running back Rhamondre Stevenson.
In his place, sophomore QB Bailey Zappe entered the game.
The Patriots went the same route during last week’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys as well. In that game, Jones was pulled in the late third quarter after completing 12 of 21 passes for 150 yards with a pair of interceptions and a lost fumble; two of his takeaways were returned for touchdowns en route to a 38-3 blowout defeat.
Jones originally joined the Patriots as the 15th overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft. Starting for the team since Day 1 of his rookie season, he led New England to the playoffs right away but has since not been able to build on the promise he had shown.
Including the likely loss to the Saints, the Patriots will now have gone 17-20 with Jones as their starting QB. They will have gone only 8-16 since the 2021 bye week.
Zappe, meanwhile, joined the Patriots as a fourth-round selection in 2022. He saw surprisingly extensive action as an injury replacement during his rookie campaign, but was released during this year’s roster cutdown day before returning via the practice squad. Now, he has replaced the nominal starter in back-to-back weeks.

People throughout baseball gave the Giants serious side-eye last fall when manager Gabe Kapler formed a coaching staff that was very young and short on traditional experience.
That youth, and the unprecedented size of this staff, might be paying off now at the strange grind of summer camp.
While the effectiveness of these 13 coaches will be judged by the team’s performance, whenever it gets to perform again, they have a built-in advantage in a camp that requires long hours and shepherding 55 players.
Youthful minds and bodies.
Because of pandemic spacing requirements, teams cannot put all of their players on the field at once. Over the first four days of workouts at Oracle Park, the Giants were split into three groups, which meant that Kapler, his coaches and other organizational instructors taking part had to conduct largely the same workouts three times a day, each lasting about 2½ hours.
On Wednesday they consolidated into two larger groups, which still means two workouts for the staff to conduct lasting about 3½ hours each.
One need not be ageist to surmise the benefit of a coaching group that averages 37 years of age with a median age of 36.
“We have a lot of energy and enthusiasm to be flexible with what’s coming our way,” 34-year-old assistant coach Mark Hallberg said. “I would say that also, because we’re a little younger, there’s that energy level that allows us to deal with the diversity of work we have to do.”
The youngest coach, Justin Viele, is 29. Assistant coach Alyssa Nakken turned 30 last month. Nine of the 13 are in their 30s. The only two coaches older than that are quality-assurance coach Nick Ortiz, who turned 47 Thursday, and 59-year-old third-base coach Ron Wotus.
With some major-league coaches opting out due to age or medical condition, and others reassigned by their teams for the same reasons, it was fair to speculate whether Wotus would take a pass. Nobody would have blamed him.
But he has been on the field and by all accounts keeping up with the “kids.”
“Wo is our dad, but he’s been just as energetic as the rest of us,” 36-year-old first-base coach Antoan Richardson said.
“In my short time knowing Wo, I can see that he cares about the players a great deal, he cares about the organization and he loves the game. With the combination of those things, he made his decision.”
Wotus declined to discuss that decision with The Chronicle.
He and bench coach Kai Correa share responsibility for creating the work schedule for an unprecedented training camp in which players began a three-week process nearly four months after they had to stop training in the spring.
“I feel like they’ve done a good job, even with the same workout multiple times a day,” Hallberg said. “It hasn’t been monotonous because the people change and that makes the situations different.”
Richardson noted that the three daily workouts, while largely similar, had a few different wrinkles, “partly to keep us mentally engaged for long periods of time, and add some variety.”
But there was another reason. The groups were not created equally.
The early-morning group featured most of the younger players and prospects, many of whom will be moved to the Giants’ alternate camp when it opens, with Sacramento still the likely venue.
Everyday players and seasoned relievers comprised most of the group that started their day just before noon. Brandon Crawford, Buster Posey, Brandon Belt, Evan Longoria and Johnny Cueto were part of this group.
The late-afternoon gang — which Alex Dickerson jokingly called the “sleep-in group” — was a mix that included older players such as Jeff Samardzija and Pablo Sandoval, but also some prospects.
“Those first two groups are in different parts of their careers and working in different developmental areas,” Hallberg said. “The second group, having been established, know what they need to do to get ready for the season, especially with expedited training, just three weeks to prepare.”
Hallberg arrives at 6:30 each morning and leaves between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m., similar to the spring training routine once the games start. The coaches have some built-in chill time now between groups because the player check-in process, which involves questionnaires and temperature checks, takes time.
Still, Kapler said he and his coaches have discussed days off ahead of the season.
“The one thing we want to share with our staff is, if people need a blow we’ll give them a blow. We’ll figure out a way to cover. We do have plenty of bodies. Our staff ... even if given the option, would be on this baseball field, in the batting cages and bullpens.
“We will create opportunities to get the staff off its feet. The likelihood is that most of them will opt to be at the ballpark with the players because that’s what they love to do. We may need to take the decision out of their hands from time to time.”

The pop legend, who is just weeks away from releasing her fourteenth studio album Madame X, was spotted arriving at MTV HQ last night in a typically provocative outfit.
Channeling her inner dominatrix, Madge oozed sex appeal as she slipped into a daring miniskirt and corset combo.
Leaving little to the imagination, the Like A Prayer superstar teamed the skimpy outfit with a pair of fishnet tights and killer heels.
Not stopping there, Madonna accessorised her look with a riding crop and sheer gloves.
M was at MTV for the filming of MTV Presents Madonna Live & Exclusive: Medellín Video World Premiere featuring Maluma.
In the clip, Madonna can be seen showing off her dance moves before getting up close and personal with the Columbian hunk.
As the duo roll around in bed together, Madge takes things further by leaning forward and licking his toes.
Another scene sees the tattooed lad whips the controversial star as she crawls on all fours.
Chatting about making her new record, Madonna said: "I didn’t go to Lisbon to make a record, that was the last thing on my mind.
"My son wanted to be a professional soccer player so I kind of just spun the globe and did a lot of research for academies for boys to train and Lisbon ended up being my favourite city of the options.
“I went to Lisbon to be a soccer mom.”
The Like A Virgin superstar continued: “I went there thinking it would be an adventure but I found myself just going to school and football matches.
"Really I was Billy no mates. I got a little bit depressed and I thought 'I need to make friends and make friends.'
"I started to go out a bit and most of the people that I met were artists or musicians.
“I started getting invited to people's homes and I went to these living room sessions."

PHILADELPHIA, September 19, 2005—The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is rallying opposition to Hosty v. Carter, a recent Seventh Circuit decision that could be used to severely restrict student speech. On Friday, the plaintiffs’ attorney filed the formal petition to the United States Supreme Court to reverse the ruling, and today FIRE releases its policy statement condemning the opinion. FIRE also plans to file an amicus brief and is seeking to forge a broad coalition opposing the decision.
“Hosty is a grave threat to liberty on campus,” declared FIRE President David French. “The decision stands against a long line of precedent regarding the free student press and casts doubt on the independence and rights of virtually any college student group.”
In Hosty, the court refused to hold liable a college administrator who censored a student newspaper that was highly critical of her administration. Most disturbingly, the court chose to apply in the college context a decision that has been used to severely curtail the free speech rights of high school students—despite the fact that the vast majority of college students are adults and high school students are not.
Attorney Lee Levine of Levine Sullivan Koch & Schulz, L.L.P., in Washington, D.C., filed a petition for certiorari on Friday, September 16, asking the Supreme Court to review Hosty. FIRE and the Student Press Law Center (SPLC) are seeking other concerned organizations to join their planned amicus brief opposing both the holding and the rationale of the Hosty opinion. Organizations interested in joining the coalition should contact email@example.com for more information.
The controversy began in 2000, with The Innovator student newspaper at Governors State University in Illinois, which was primarily supported by student fees. Patricia Carter, the university’s dean of student affairs and services, was unhappy with the content and viewpoint of the paper. She called the paper’s printer and demanded to be allowed to review the content of the paper before it was published, despite the fact that GSU policy clearly stated that the student staff of The Innovator “will determine content and format of [the paper] without censorship or advance approval.”
Student editor Margaret Hosty and others sued, and both the district court and a three-judge panel of the Seventh Circuit found in Hosty’s favor. FIRE and a host of other groups joined an amicus brief that the judge who wrote the Seventh Circuit opinion described as “superb.” But on June 20, 2005, the Seventh Circuit en banc reversed its earlier ruling, determining that Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier, a Supreme Court decision allowing prior review of certain high school newspapers, should apply to student fee–funded college media as well. FIRE’s statement explains more about the case and why it was wrongly decided.
“This opinion is disastrous for free speech,” remarked Greg Lukianoff, FIRE’s director of legal and public advocacy. “Any group that supports student rights should join FIRE and the SPLC in trying to convince the Supreme Court to review and ultimately overturn this dangerous decision.”
FIRE is a nonprofit educational foundation that unites civil rights and civil liberties leaders, scholars, journalists, and public intellectuals from across the political and ideological spectrum on behalf of individual rights, due process, freedom of expression, academic freedom, and rights of conscience at our nation’s colleges and universities. FIRE’s efforts to preserve liberty on campuses across America can be viewed at thefire.org.

Cherry picking molecules based on their Pi electrons
Specialized windshield glass, everyday plastic water bottles, and countless other products are based on ethylene, a simple two-carbon molecule, which requires an energy-intense separation process to pluck the desired chemical away from nearly identical ethane. To eliminate the extreme cooling required in the separation, an international team including researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory designed a material with a porous framework that greatly prefers ethylene. What makes this material particularly potent for applications is that the highly selective sorbent is stable in air and water. In addition, the framework offers a high surface area that speeds the sorting. The material contains silver that binds with the electrons around ethylene's double-bonded carbon atoms. These electrons are known as π electrons or the π cloud.
Every year, billions of tons of ethylene are produced by steam cracking and thermally decomposing ethane. Because ethylene and ethane are roughly the same size and become gases at nearly the same temperature, separating the molecules is extremely difficult on a large scale. Currently, manufacturers distill off the ethylene at high pressures and low temperatures, 23 bar and −25 °C, respectively. This study describes a promising material that does not require extreme pressures or temperatures and far surpasses current zeolites, a popular class of aluminosilicate catalysts, and any other modified framework reported in the scientific literature.
"Compared to existing materials, this is the best material," said Dr. Praveen Thallapally, a materials scientist at PNNL who is part of this work along with Jian Liu, an engineer, and Laboratory Fellow Jun Liu.
The researchers created the silver-based porous aromatic framework by adding π-complexation or the ability to form a bond between an aromatic ring in the framework with the π electrons in the ethylene. They characterized the material using infrared spectroscopy and other instruments at different facilities. After analyzing the data, the team found that the PAF-1-SO3Ag at 296 K or ~22 °C is exceptionally selective. It also has a high surface area, 4000 to 5000 square meters per gram. Additional experiments, supported by engineering simulations at the University of Amsterdam, indicate that PAF-1-SO3Ag could produce batches of 99.95%+ pure ethylene.
The material presents several challenges, however. For example, while the porous aromatic framework (PAF) material easily sheds the ethylene when the conditions are right, at room temperatures the ethylene bonds too tightly to the framework. This tighter bonding makes it difficult to remove and use the ethylene. The material holds promise, although there are challenges in both the manufacturing process and the material's performance, the material paves the way to develop silver-based PAFs that perform complex separations based on pi electrons.
The team is taking on one of the material's challenges: its density. A single gram of the material occupies more space than is practical for larger scale uses. Researchers from the team are working to reduce the material's volume while maintaining its capacity for separating out the desired molecules in tough mixtures.

Master of Science (MS)
In this work, I have made attempts to clamp intracellular pH in the presence of hypercapnic acidosis (HA) in neurons from the locus coeruleus (LC) and nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) in neonatal rat (ages P3 to P17) brainstem slices. Two approaches were used to minimize hypercapnia-induced ΔpHi: 1) an increase in intracellular buffering power with a high HEPES concentration using whole cell patching techniques in individual neurons, and 2) a weak acid diffusion technique that relies on an efflux of weak acid to counterbalance HA influx thereby clamping pHi in multiple neurons at once. pHi was measured using two pH-sensitive fluorescent dyes: membrane impermeable pyranine for the former approach, and the acetoxymethyl ester form of membrane permeable 2',7'-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF) for the latter. Blunting with HEPES buffer was performed in the NTS only, with a calculated average percent blunting of hypercapnia-induced acidification of 73.4%. Experiments blunting via weak acid diffusion utilized an inverted microscope and two weak acids: acetic acid and caproic (hexanoic) acid. In NTS neurons (n=56), acetic acid blunted acidification by only 33.1% and in LC neurons by only 19.6% (n=52). Caproic acid blunted hypercapnia-induced acidification by 50.7% (n=58) and 45.8% (n=47) in NTS and LC neurons, respectively. Experiments were also repeated using an upright microscope. In these experiments, acidification was blunted by 45.8% (n=56) and 52.6% (n=52) in NTS and LC neurons, respectively. Concurrent influx of weak base, trimethyl amine, with HA was also used to blunt ΔpHi, but the results showed no blunting and, in fact, a greater acidification in response to HA: -18.1% in the NTS (n=40) and -27.8% in the LC (n=28). These techniques are clearly insufficient to accomplish a complete clamping of hypercapnia-induced changes in pHi. However, we have determined that the ability to clamp pHi is highly affected by diffusion of the weak acid both up to and into the cell. Blunting could be improved with better superfusion of slices and the use of more permeable weak acids. Overall, the ability to blunt ΔpHi, especially in numerous cells simultaneously, would be valuable in studying systems where pHi may play a role in cellular function, such as the involvement of pHi in chemosensitive signaling, bicarbonate reabsorption in the proximal tubule, free fatty acid diffusion in adipocytes, and acid-sensing taste receptors.

WYNNE: WE HAVE SIMILAR VIEWS
Mold Alexandra travel to Gresford Athletic during the festive period, joint managers Neil Wynne and Michael Cunningham talk on how they work as a managerial duo and the season ahead.
In football, there are some cases of having a joint management team and at Mold Alexandra, they have two managers in the form of Neil Wynne and Michael Cunningham.
“To be fair, it works really well between ourselves, we have similar views on how the game should be played, with the type of players we favour. I believe Mike is the better coach so he tends to do more of the training whilst I do the organising.
When we came to the club most of the first team before us has left so we had to bring in a lot of players to improve the squad, very qickly. We were lucky to get off to a good start with a draw at home to Guilsfield, we then added 6 players which helped us enormously. The lad have been superb and have really bought into our ideas and vision for our club.”
A moment that stands out is the 10-2 defeat to leaders Prestatyn but the club have regrouped from that
“We hold our hands up as managers for the Prestatyn game that we set the team up wrong and we have learnt a lot from that game. That said the players didn’t perform either and we did speak to them about this and we have improved greatly as a squad because of this result.” NW
Mold Alexandra met Gresford Athletic before in which they were the victors but Neil Wynne believes the squad is full of confidence and that the result is hard to decipher due to the changes in the team.
I think the lads should take great confidence into the game against Gresford, after we won back to back games for the first time in the league. The team is much changed from our win against Gresford.
I am expecting a very tough game against a team who have been performing very well under Steve, I think we are both similar in terms of work rate and togetherness.
As the new year approaches, managers set out their targets for the new year, the managerial duo at Mold Alex want a local team the town can be proud of.
“Our ambition is still the same as when we came to the club and that is to keep the club in the Cymru Alliance for next season and start building for the next season. If we can better that then it’s a bonus, for next season we want to build a squad that the town of Mold can be proud of, the town itself has a lot of good local talent in it.
Asked if anyone misses the game against Gresford, only two miss out.
“For the Gresford game, Danny Barlow is missing the game due to being away whilst Gary McConnell is suspended, other than that we should have a full squad.”

The International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia, marked an excellent start to the year for the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC), highlighting our role within the soy supply chain and beyond in providing access to high-quality protein that contributes to global food security. Our presence at the event was not just about highlighting our expertise but also about strengthening the trust and reliability that is associated with USSEC and our partners.
A Hub of Solutions and Trust
We welcomed professionals from numerous countries, reflecting the global trust in USSEC, further bolstered by the event's record attendance of over 35,000. This trust originates from our commitment to providing solutions through our vast network of relationships honed over years of collaboration and partnership.
Engagement That Leads to Value
Engagement at IPPE 2024 went beyond simple inquiries. Our luncheon presentation prompted stakeholders across the soy value chain to consider, "What is critical to quality in your role?" This question sparked dialogue for understanding the diverse needs and challenges within the value chain. Joined by USSEC CEO, Jim Sutter, we engaged with a wide array of professionals — from grower leaders to food producers — emphasizing the importance of consistency, reliability, and sustainability as quality's foundational pillars. Insights shared by Daryl Cates, Illinois; Jerry Slocum, Mississippi; and Jordan Scott, South Dakota - highlighted this shared commitment to quality and sustainability at the start of the soy value chain as grower leaders representing our Qualified State Soybean Boards.
A Network of Relationships
The diverse representatives from the soy supply chain visiting our booth and attending the luncheon demonstrated the importance of relationships in our work. The richness of our interactions forms the core of our ability to offer comprehensive solutions. This allows us to gather insights, anticipate trends, and tackle challenges promptly. In doing so, we are ensuring international customers of U.S. Soy benefit through the resilience and innovation of the U.S. Soy value chain.
Nourishing Your Businesses
Looking forward, we are motivated by the engagement and opportunities we experienced at IPPE 2024. We are honored to be able to nourish both animals and businesses with the quality of U.S. Soy.
Our journey continues with the confidence that we are helping shape a resilient, sustainable, and thriving U.S. Soy industry toward greater nutrition and food security globally.
This story was partially funded by U.S. Soy farmers, their checkoff, and the soy value chain.

In this week’s Reacts survey, we asked which new Commander would have the biggest positive impact on the 2023 season. Unsurprisingly, the top 3 vote-getters are all projected starters, with two of them being signed to bolster Washington’s offensive line.
Andrew Wylie accounted for 38% of the votes. In reviewing the comments left in the survey article, some sensible reasons were offered for Wylie being the top choice. For one thing, there was a feeling that a player on the offensive side of the ball would likely have more impact than a player being added to the defense, given that the defense ranked in the top-5 in 2022, while the offense was mired near the bottom of most statistical standings.
One reason why Wylie, in particular, was the choice for some survey respondents was that, by taking over at right tackle and moving Sam Cosmi to RG, two offensive line positions were strengthened. Let’s hope that reasoning holds up when the players hit the field in the regular season.
The results also indicate what Hogs Haven readers don’t expect to happen. Jacoby Brissett is clearly not expected to beat out Sam Howell and carry the team to offensive success. Among those commenting in the survey article, at least one person said that he chose Brissett because of his value as a mentor to Sam Howell.
Despite the broad support for the signing of kicker Michael Badgley to compete with Joey Slye, no one seems to think that the competition will have a huge positive impact on the season. There doesn’t seem to be a clear favorite in the two-man competition. Joey has the stronger leg, but is head-scratchingly inconsistent on extra points and short field goals. Badgley, on the other hand, hit 100% of his PATs last season, but doesn’t have a powerful leg for long field goals or kickoffs, though this season’s rule change on kickoff touchbacks might mean that kickoff leg strength may not be as important as it has been in recent seasons.
Together, the team’s starting center, Nick Gates, and starting RG, Andrew Wylie, accounted for 59% of the vote, reflecting both concern over the offensive line that looked so poor in 2022, and optimism that the offseason’s two veteran OL acquisitions will make a positive difference in 2023.

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. After months of cleverly organised show performances and radio spins, Croydon’s Bonkaz has finally released the official audio to UK urban anthem “We Run The Block”. In an admirable self-marketing ploy to build hype surrounding the song, Bonkaz kept the track under wraps, saving it exclusively for live showcases (such as this one in at Birthdays in Dalston for GRM DAILY) and plays at New York Fashion Week from Kanye West‘s right-hand-man Virgil Abloh. Bonkaz then personally informed users via snapchat that the track was ready to be released today. Production comes from East London Trio Heavytrackerz (who can also boast being behind Stormzy‘s “Not That Deep“).
Though the chorus sounds something like a roadman chant, Bonkaz told blog Pigeons and Planes of the lyrics:
““As creatives, We Run The Block. We have the freedom to create whatever we like. ‘Free up the mandem’ means grant freedom to anyone who feels restricted in their creativity. With that being said, I’ll leave you to decide who the cops are.””
Big up Bonkaz – he has us informed that the video will be dropping very soon!
Bonkaz also premiered the “We Run The Block” official remix a couple evenings ago, with help from P Money, Jendor, Mikill Pane, Youngs Teflon and Kojey Radical on the mic. Look out for that one soon aswell!

BUENAVENTURA, Colombia — Standing atop a hulking crane at this country’s largest Pacific port, Alejandro Echeverri pointed out scurrying workers below reinforcing pylons, preparing the ground for an extended pier and tending to a dredging boat that has been deepening the harbor.
As the planning director for the Buenaventura Regional Port Authority, Echeverri says his job is to be a “futurologist” and try to stay ahead of the industry. Right now, the industry’s future is high stakes and under the sway of a singular event: the expansion of the Panama Canal, which will make the ships that straddle the seas larger and heavier than these ports have ever seen.
The industry “doesn’t care what ports need to do to be ready or what it costs,” Echeverri said. “If you’re not ready, they’ll simply take you off their route.”
Ports throughout the Americas and the Caribbean are rushing to be ready for the post-Panamax future. Currently, the Panama Canal can handle ships 965 feet long that need a depth of 39.5, a size known as Panamax. Once the expansion is complete in 2015, the canal will be able to accommodate ships 1,200 feet long with a 50-foot draft — and shippers are already building to those dimensions.
Ports in Costa Rica, Peru, Jamaica, the Bahamas and Cuba, among others, are either expanding or have plans to expand.
Some, like Buenaventura, hope to receive the “post-Panamax” ships and become a transshipment hub that will supply smaller ports with feeder vessels. Others are simply bracing for increased feeder traffic.
“For the second time, the Panama Canal is going to divide the history of shipping,” said Domingo Chinea, the general manager of the Buenaventura Regional Port Society, who is overseeing the $450 million modernization project. “All the ports along the Pacific are trying to get ready.”
The race for deep water is fierce. Buenaventura currently feeds much of the traffic to the shallower port in Guayaquil, Ecuador. But Buenaventura is facing competition from Balboa, in Panama, which is emerging as the Latin American leader of transshipment and expects to see its business double after the expansion.
The Bahamas is working with Hutchison Port Holdings to stake its claim as the most modern container facility in the English-speaking Caribbean. With a depth of 52 feet, the Freeport Container Port can already accommodate post-Panamax ships.
“We are the best prepared,” said Ian Rolle, president of The Grand Bahama Port Authority. “We have the necessary equipment to handle the traffic and if we need more, we will get it. Having a harbor that is deep enough to accommodate these ships is key.”
But both the port of Jacksonville and Miami are hoping to take a bite out of Bahamian business.
PortMiami is also hoping to undercut Freeport and regain some of the transshipment business that it lost after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, when new security regulations strangled business.
PortMiami Director Bill Johnson said the Panama Canal expansion and Miami’s recent designation as a foreign trade zone, which will make transshipping less cumbersome, will be a threat to Freeport.
“They should be worried,’’ he said. “Our job is to bring this business back. How do we change this? By being bulldog aggressive.”
In many ways, all of the ports in the region need to succeed for any of them to succeed, said German Silva, Colombia’s former vice minister of transportation and a shipping consultant.
If only a few ports in a geographic area can accommodate the massive new vessels, then shipping companies may decide to cover the region with feeder boats, which ultimately increases the costs of goods.
Of 161 ports in South and Central America, only 21 have channels of 50 feet or more, and 13 of those are in Brazil, according to data provided by the American Association of Port Authorities. Colombia, Argentina and Chile also have deeper ports. In Mesoamerica, only Mexico and Panama are in that league. But several ports in the regions have plans to hit that depth.
“If ports don’t get ready, they will simply be left out,” Silva said.
The work at Buenaventura reflects the region’s challenges.
The port is reinforcing its pylons and moorings to keep the larger ships from, literally, dragging the dock into the sea. It’s also receiving two new cranes to unload the taller container ships. The port is already deepening its access canal to 41 feet, but it’s hoping to receive environmental permissions to begin dredging to more than 50 feet to be able to receive post-Panamax vessels.
At the Moin Container Terminal in Costa Rica, APM Terminals is pushing a $992 million project to dredge the canal to 52 feet and have six super-post-Panamax gantry cranes. Puerto Caucedo, in the Dominican Republic, is also in the midst of an expansion project.
Anthony Hylton, Jamaica’s minister of industry, investment and commerce, recently returned from a two-week trip to China and Singapore where he was promoting the government’s plan for the Caribbean nation to become a global transshipment and logistics hub.
The $8 billion to $10 billion project includes dredging Kingston Harbor, expanding port facilities and building a dry dock. It also hinges on linking ports and airports through road and rail networks.
“We have some assets in place. This is not starting from scratch,” said Hylton, who has been trying to woo international investors and expects dredging to begin shortly. “We will be ready for the post-Panamax.”
But the question remains whether Jamaica, which is in the midst of a financial crisis, and other nations, will be able to deliver on their promises, said Anton Edmunds, a Caribbean business consultant.
“People in the region talking about making investments is one thing,” he said. “But actually starting the process — dredging and the process of construction — is going to determine whether they are going to be competitive or not.”
Cuba is another case in point. While the island is renovating its Mariel port, the U.S. embargo is likely to keep it from fulfilling its potential as a transshipment hub, executives said.
Under U.S. law, any ship that calls on a Cuban port is prohibited from entering a U.S. port for 180 days — with limited exceptions covering foodstuffs and humanitarian goods.
“I think Cuba is really one of the most interesting players of the future — of course, assuming the embargo is lifted,’’ said Rodolfo Sabonge, vice president for market analysis and research for the Panama Canal Authority.
The island could become a hub for transshipment of goods as well as near-sourcing of manufactured goods for the U.S. market.
“Maybe it would be like going back to the 1950s,’’ he added.
While Mariel won’t be able to receive post-Panamax ships, deepwater areas near Santiago on the eastern end of the island might be a logical location for a Cuban deepwater port, he said.
What is clear is that the canal expansion, along with the regional building binge, will mean more Latin American countries will benefit from, and depend on, the canal.
Chile is currently the third largest user of the canal after the United States and China, and nearly one-third of its maritime foreign trade is transported through the canal. Some 37 percent of Ecuador’s maritime foreign trade travels via the canal and 32 percent of Peru’s, canal authorities said.
“We’ll see more Latin American countries making use of the canal’’ after the expansion, said Jorge Quijano, chief executive of the Panama Canal Authority.
But the race to become competitive extends well beyond harbors and cranes, said Edmunds, the Caribbean business consultant. Ports need to think about financial services and other infrastructure to attract shippers.
One of Buenaventura’s biggest problems is its roads, said port manager Chinea. In 2007, rains closed the sole roadway into town for more than 40 days. While the government is working to turn the winding mountain road into a four-lane highway — and adding several new tunnels — tractor trailers headed to the harbor are often delayed for hours.
“Colombia’s main challenge in its foreign commerce is to improve its infrastructure — roads and railroads — in the short-term,” he said.
As Echeverri watched workers pour fresh concrete to brace the port for the coming behemoths, he marveled at how fast the industry has changed.
Just five years ago, the largest ships that pulled into Buenaventura carried 1,000 containers. Now, the port regularly receives towering vessels carrying 3,000 containers that can take two days to unload.
Few expected loads to double, much less triple, in five short years, he said.
“The only thing that is certain” about predicting the future of shipping, he said, “is that we’ll probably be wrong.”

Ever since I first saw a pager motor, I've thought how cool it would be
to get a small gearbox to mesh with it. I even have mated pager motors
to oven timer units (OTUs) to get good, although large gearboxes.
Well, now we have a much smaller, tighter design with the Solarbotics
GM10 pager gearmotor. 81:1 reduction, resulting with 370rpm at 5V with
3.6 in*oz measured stall torque.
They're designed by Mark Tilden for toy applications, and much like his
other gearbox designs, they're cool and a bit funky. By default, they
have a self-centering spring, so 90 degrees of movement left or right is
possible by the polarity of power applied to the motor. Remove the
spring, clip off a stop, and you've got a continuous-rotation gear
The output shaft has a square key 0.140 per side. We don't have a wheel
for it at this moment, but it looks like a trivial task to mount one to
the output arm.
Price? $12USD each, or $9.75/ea USD in 2 or more. MUCH less expensive
than hacking a nanoservo to build a custom geartrain!
Thenkyoubeddymuch for your attention!

Since we don't have the magical omniscience of the Three-Eyed Raven, we still don't know a whole lot about what's to come in Game of Thrones' eighth and final season, so we'll just have to sit and savor what precious details and previews we do have of the final bow for HBO's epic fantasy.
The latest preview comes via a batch of new images from UK show distributor Sky Atlantic, which shared more than a dozen new pics from the coming season on social media.
The batch of photos features all of our favorites settling into Winterfell before the storm of winter comes crashing down. The new shots of Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) are particularly interesting because in some cases, she looks to be delighted by what's going on in the North, and in others, she's wearing the same expression of brute determination that's gotten her through some of her toughest challenges yet. There's an image of Daenerys in the Great Hall that speaks a thousand words about how the families are going to handle the arrival of dragons to this sleepy castle. We can't wait to hear what snappiness is in store from little Lyanna Mormont (Bella Ramsey), obviously.
Check out the full lot in the Instagram collections below, and see if you can get a read on how Sansa (Sophie Turner) is gonna react to her brother-cousin Jon Snow (Kit Harington) having bent the knee to the Mother of Dragons.
Game of Thrones Season 8 premieres Sunday, April 14 at 9/8c on HBO.

Financially troubled Australian livestock exporter Wellard may be forced to sell one of its ships after it defaulted on debt payments today.
The company said today it was looking at ways of restructuring its balance sheet, including the possibility of selling a vessel.
Earlier this month it was revealed Mauro Balzarino, the founder and CEO of Wellard for the past 15 years, had stepped down. Executive chairman John Klepec is running the company at present.
Wellard has been in financial trouble for much of this decade, forced to suspend trading on the local stock exchange and being in breach of its debt covenants on more than one occasion.
The Wellard fleet today comprises four ships according to European shipping database Equasis.


Barry Keoghan is no longer ‘the last man on Earth’
Barry Keoghan has left the lead role in a television series about the last living man on Earth.
The Irish actor, known for films such as The Killing of a Sacred Deer and Dunkirk, and television series Chernobyl, left Y: The Last Man, an adaptation of a post-apocalyptic comic book, after American channel FX recast the lead role.
Keoghan first came to prominence in Ireland for his role as a cat-killer in RTE drama Love/Hate. He filmed a pilot episode for the FX series in summer 2018. It was due to be shown in 2020 but Keoghan’s scenes are now likely to be reshot.
FX declined to comment on its reason for the recasting. “Creatively, it wasn’t working, so they decided

SPX '15: Scott McCloud On 'Camps' Of Comic Creators, Innovating In The Sculptor, And The State Of The Medium
Scott McCloud's panel at Small Press Expo was highly anticipated, but there seemed to be sufficient room for everyone waiting for some words of wisdom about comics.
Chatting to the audience beforehand, McCloud asked if anyone had heard the riddle: What do you get when you cross an elephant with a rhino? The answer, which he really liked, is: Elephino ['ellifIknow].
Hosted by Craig Fisher, a comics academic, McCloud was asked to start off talking about comics theory. McCloud recalled previous SPX attendances, and commented on a previous paradigm of classifying comic artists in the categories of "classicist" (beauty, craft, strives for perfection), "animist" (pure storytellers, Jeff Smith falls into this category, it's all about the audience, 80% of the industry), "formalist" (the mad scientist, research and development wing, figuring out how the form works, learning failure is as valuable as success), and "iconoclast" ( honesty trumps everything, authentic humanity is the most important, can be messy if it's true, typical of the Underground movement, humility is key).
These are "campfires" that artists tend to gather around, according to McCloud. Since this year's SPX is focused on 21st century artists, McCloud was prepared to re-evaluate his theory as somewhat "toxic" to limit artists into only 4 categories. Some "really interesting" things have happened in terms of "trends" recently, he said. One of the things that happened in the "turn of the century" was, of course, the internet. "Pure formalist" experimentation is going on, like the work of Daniel Merlin Goodbrey (the advisor on Electricomics and digital comics maker) is doing in England.
The relationships between his four categories on a grid leads to dichotomies, and the diagonal relationships are important too. McCloud said, however, that "the best ones defy all categorization and make me out to be a charlatan", laughing.
The different "currents" are influencing categories right now, too, like YA storytelling "blowing up" the "animus" category, with people like Raina Telgemeier. People like her, he said, are "training an army of readers" as well, which will affect the future.
Another movement , one toward graphic novels, is about "pure storytelling" but also a play for "literature", like Alison Bechdel, telling true and honest stories that are a bit "raw" with "socio-political content".
Fisher asked McCloud about his own move toward graphic novel storytelling in The Sculptor where he has recurring motifs and themes. McCloud said that things often "pop up" in longform storytelling and he didn't necessarily carefully plan it. He recognizes a recurring motif of circles of people in the text. The "crowd ring" comes up several times in the book. It's like "a drop of soap in dirty water" that creates a retreat of the dirt away from the soap is the manner in which crowd rings form around his central character.
McCloud doesn't necessarily want a reader to notice these motifs on the "first read" he said. He sees his own tendency as a formalist at work there. The "ultimate goal" for a formalist is to "impersonate your opposite number" in the chart. A formalist would like to impersonate an animist, for instance, McCloud said. McCloud said that in Maus, Art Spiegelman attempts to present himself as an animist when he's a formalist. He commented that many people read The Sculptor read it in one sitting, despite the fact that it's 400 pages, which is part of his "speed up" intention in the storytelling. He laid it out in 40 page increments for that reason, he said. He wanted there to be "life" in the text and for it to "breathe", he said.
McCloud jokingly observed that many of his works seem to be about destroying New York, including elements in Zot (where villains are skyscrapers), and definitely in The Sculptor. Fisher commented that there are many connections between the two books. Sexual relationships also come up in both, and McCloud observed that he's supportive of "sex positive" narratives. There are links between the two books, but McCloud also joked that there are "only so many themes" so they are going to pop up in both.
McCloud described The Sculptor as an "atheist manifesto" and a "conversation with death". The supernatural elements in the comic come from death. In the world we live in, in truth, we all have a limited number of days, like in the story. But in the story, we just know the number. The idea of "losing identity" is also a big element. This is a story, not about "trying to be remembered" but a "terror of being forgotten" and in many ways, David Smith has "already been forgotten". He puts so much pressure on himself to be remembered that he "drifts" from the people in his life, Fisher observed.
Formally speaking, looking at panels, McCloud commented on the use of color to convey "greater depth". He mentioned the idea of the "panel as a container for time" and if you break the panel, you break the containment of the moment. Time is a "liquid", he said that "bleeds" into other elements. McCloud spoke about the importance of remembering that in comics we only have "sight" and you have to convey various senses. In The Sculptor, he handles a cacophony of sound when David "takes off a hood" and can hear suddenly, and is disoriented. He portrays Times Square, for instance, "entirely in voices", when David is only listening for "one voice". Isolating useful information out of our senses is a major human activity, and representing it in comics is significant to McCloud. He visually works to show that "sorting process" in The Sculptor.
During the Q&A, an audience member asked McCloud to comment on the way in which his creative process might have changed through using computers. He showed a zoomed out image on the screen of his 40 page sequences in rough form. He included "slots" where he could remove a panel and change the rows in order to reintroduce panels when necessary. He likes the idea of "things reflowing" and think of a "forward flow" that would make readers feel they were being "pushed" into the next panel regardless of where it was located on the page. All of The Sculptor was created digitally, McCloud said.
Asked if he feels "guilt" for raising the bar so that now a standard of quality is expected from comics, the audience laughed, and McCloud said it all came back to the four categories. A genuine concern of many formalists and iconoclasts is that the form will be taken too seriously and this will disrupt production.
Regarding innovation to the medium he introduces in The Sculptor, McCloud said, "What has my life been about? Showing what comics can do. But now the question arises, 'But Scott, SHOULD comics do this?'" To which he doesn't know the answer.
Asked what he'll be doing next, McCloud admitted that every time he does something that "works", his next thought is, "Well, I can't do that again". Like the Beatles, he "follows no one" and "tries to keep an open mind", but Will Eisner's late in life massive production of graphic novels is something he finds inspiring.
Asked where he sees comics 10 years from now, McCloud referenced Reinventing Comics that has several "metrics" to measure different aspects of comics, He thinks "we're doing pretty good" in a number of categories, with a weakness in racial diversity, but it's something we are starting to work on. He thinks we're doing well with using the internet for experimentation in webcomics. We are "rebuilding the foundation of our readership" through "pure storytelling for kids", he said. Art comics "burn as bright" as they did 20 years ago. His "old prediction from 2004" that by 2024, we'd have a majority of female creators in the medium. He now thinks that will reach reality much sooner.

Modesty and privacy are Islamic concepts that are also practiced in multi-ethnic and multi-religious countries. Miters is worn by women which is a distinctive headdress in Catholicism. Although wearing the hijab, which covers the entire body from head to toe in public, appears to be the most ‘difficult challenge’ for Muslim women, as it affects their professional life as well as their daily chores that aren’t easy to carry out. Despite that, deciding to wear the hijab must be out of a woman’s own choice.
Women around the world are made inferior and are humiliated for the choices they make as individuals, which should be condemned by any sensible human. However, women are impugn by the patriarchy. This humiliation continues worldwide, for example, women in France are excluded from a football field which had an effect on the sustainability of the hijabis in France.
In Iran, the death of Mahsa Amini on September 16, three days after her arrest by Tehran’s police, sparked a wave of large-scale protests that was unprecedented in terms of both their geographic scope and the demonstrators’ diverse social backgrounds. As the protests grew in intensity, videos of women cutting their hair and burning their hijabs circulated, serving as an expression of both rage directed at the regime responsible for Mahsa Amini’s death and a rejection of the policy of compulsory hijab in general.
However, acts such as hijab burning and defying any dress codes imposed by the government helped the world to see the latent issues Iranian women were facing. A woman from the Middle East raised her voice against the atrocities on women in the form of some strict laws forcing women to wear hijab with irrational fear and raised the slogan “Let’s Talk.” This year, the World Hijab Day was marked under the theme that “Hijab is our crown, not a crime.”
The headscarf is not widely worn in most South Asian countries, including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and India. It also caused conservative activists to avoid attending meetings, even those only for women, with polished nails because they would face criticism from other attendees for wearing make-up and looking like a movie star. The criticism forces a woman to consider her attire and consistently allows her to feel slightly embarrassed. To coalesce my stance, I’d just say that a woman should be entitled to her choice of clothing.
She should never be afraid of bigotry from the society she lives in. I will suggest here that all the men should respect the choices women make regarding their own bodies. But it would all be true only in utopia as this world isn’t much ready to accept women with their mindsets and sagacious personalities as it comes off as a ‘threat’ to the patriarchy. Although women do not acquiesce to the society’s demands anymore as we are true hardy. Yet I covet to have a safe and respectful world for women. – Live and let live.


Yesterday local school children, Councillors and business members gathered to mark the start of the construction of Andover’s brand new state of the art leisure centre which is due to open in Spring 2019.
Test Valley Borough Council Community and Leisure Portfolio Holder, Councillor Tony Ward, said: “This was a great opportunity to mark a journey that is taking us from the demolition of some old, outdated buildings towards a fantastic multi million pound leisure centre that our residents expect and deserve. There has been a lot of hard work to get us to this point and there is more to come. Although what we see today is an empty site, what will rise from the rubble is the shiny jewel in the crown of our leisure facilities in Test Valley.”
The new Andover Leisure Centre will feature a 165-station fitness suite including a virtual cycling studio, 25m six lane pool with 15m learner pool, dance studios, eight court sports hall, squash courts, adventure play, and café. The impressive new centre will also offer a splash pad and Clip and Climb™ to encourage more young people to adopt healthy habits for life.
Places for People Leisure won the contract to design and build the new Andover Leisure Centre with their construction partners Pellikaan Construction and architects Roberts Limbrick.
John Bates, Business Development Director at Places for People Leisure said, “We are pleased to announce that construction of the new Andover Leisure Centre is underway. In the coming months, we will continue to work in partnership to ensure that when the new Andover Leisure Centre opens it will offer a full range of innovative activities, that we hope will encourage even more people to enjoy a more active and healthy lifestyle.”
Those in attendance included representatives from Andover Swimming Club and pupils from Anton Junior School who decorated and buried a time capsule as part of the ceremony.
