Milwaukee leads all-time series, 16-13-4
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's soccer team closes out the regular season with two important games this week, hosting Northern Illinois Wednesday before heading to play UIC on the weekend. The midweek contest against the Huskies is the annual battle for the "LeWang Trophy", while the Saturday matchup against the Flames will more than likely decide the postseason fate for the Panthers. Both games are set to start at 7 p.m. In addition, Wednesday night will also be "Senior Night" at Engelmann.
Men's Soccer Weekly Release
Both contests will have live statistics available via the Panthers website at uwmpanthers.com. The NIU game will also be available on the Horizon league Network, with Matt Menzl on the call. Saturday's match against UIC will not have a broadcast available.
The series against both schools are relatively even. UWM leads NIU, 18-15-4, but have not been in possession of the LeWang Cup since a 1-0 victory in 2005. The Huskies have retained possession since then by going 4-0-1 over the past five seasons.
Milwaukee also leads UIC, 16-13-4, all-time, but the Flames have had the upper hand of late. In fact, they have posted a 7-0-2 mark against UWM since the 2003 campaign. The series has also been an extremely contested one, with six 1-0 decisions and a 0-0 draw in the past eight meetings, including four-consecutive 1-0 victories by the Flames - two in overtime.
SCOUTING THE OPPONENT:
Northern Illinois: The Huskies are 11-4-0 and having a very solid 2011 campaign. Nationally-ranked for the majority of the year, the team is still receiving votes in all of the polls. They were picked to finish second in the Mid-American Conference preseason coaches' poll after going 9-6-2 a season ago.
After going 8-2 in their first 10 games, the Huskies dropped back-to-back matches to #3 Akron and Northwestern. They have rebounded nicely, posting three-consecutive shutouts to close out October. NIU has seen its young players lead the way offensively. In total, 17 of the 22 goals scored by the Huskies this season have come from freshmen and sophomores. James Stevenson leads the way with 12 points (5G/2A). In net, Jordan Godsey has played every minute, recording an .818 save percentage and 0.65 GAA.
UIC: The Flames are 8-5-3 and 2-3-1 in Horizon League play and have a big game waiting for them Wednesday against Loyola. They have been regionally-ranked much of the season after a 5-1-2 start.
The Flames welcomed 11 newcomers to the team this season and returned 13 letterwinners (six starters) from 2010. Among the returners is senior forward Eric Frazier, who scored six goals and totaled 16 points last season, both among the top-10 marks in the Horizon League. Frazier again is a top threat, scoring 19 points (8G/3A) to trail only teammate Ivan Stanisavljevic (24 points/9G/6A) among the league leaders.
The final home game of the regular season on Wednesday will also serve as "Senior Night" for the five seniors on the Panther roster. Congratulations go out to #7 Keegan Ziada, #8 Aaron Gibbons, #11 Robert Refai, #14 Ross Van Osdol and #17 Pedro Mejia.
The Panthers do face the possibility of needing to win their final game to get into the Horizon League Tournament. Valparaiso currently leads the league with 16 points (5-0-1) and will get one of the two byes along with either Wright State, Cleveland State (both 13 points/4-2-1) or Green Bay (12 points/4-3-0). With a win and some help, UWM could remain in fifth. A victory would guarantee them a spot since only the top six teams advance to the postseason. Both Butler and UIC play Wednesday and, each with seven points, could theoretically knock UWM down to seventh heading into the final game at UIC.
The Panthers slump continued, going 0-2 on the week with a pair of 2-0 defeats to Wisconsin Wednesday and Loyola on Saturday night, both at Engelmann Stadium.
Milwaukee has a chance to own all three traveling trophies it plays for when it takes on Northern Illinois Wednesday. The team already owns the "Milwaukee Cup" after a defeat of Marquette and the "Chancellor's Cup" after a double-overtime victory over Green Bay. A victory over NIU would give UWM possession of all three cups for the first time since a season sweep in 2004.
Senior Robert Refai is making the most of his redshirt campaign after missing last season with an injury. Through 16 games, he is the team's leading scorer with 15 points, having scored seven goals while adding an assist. Coming into the season, he had career totals of five goals and 15 points. He currently ranks in the top five in the Horizon League in both points and goals.
SCORING IN BUNCHES
UWM was held without a goal against Loyola, but continues to lead the Horizon League in that category with 25 overall. In addition to leading the league in goals (UIC and Green Bay are tied with 25), the squad also leads in total points with 74 (Valparaiso is second with 70) and assists with 24 (Valparaiso again second with 22).
For perspective, UWM scored 17 goals last season and had just 12 over the course of the 2009 campaign. At this rate, Milwaukee will score its highest amount of goals in quite some time. The Panthers netted 17 goals in 2008, 16 in 2007 and 26 in 2006. The last time a Milwaukee squad averaged two goals per game or better was in 2004, when it tallied 44 goals in 22 games.
The Panthers have now seen 11 different players score goals and 14 different players record points this season. Once again for comparison, in 2009, the year before head coach Chris Whalley arrived, those numbers were eight goal scorers and nine point scorers over the course of the entire season.
A scan of the results so far and a couple of patterns jump off the page. The first number is two, as in two goals. In games that UWM has scored at least two goals, it is 5-1-2 on the season.
The other is 13. The team found the back of the net at least once in the first 13 games of the 2011 campaign, the longest streak without being shutout since 2002, when it went all 22 games without a clean sheet against it in netting 75 goals.
LEARNING ON THE FLY
It may take more than a quick glance at the season statistics to notice, but the Panthers have been playing a very young squad so far in 2011. In fact, freshmen have accounted for 86 starts overall this season. Of note, UWM has started as many as eight freshmen in a game (against Butler Sept. 24).
After missing last season with an injury, freshman Gerardo Saavedra is making a good impression and has 12 points (four goals/four assists) in his first 13 collegiate games. That pace for a newcomer has not been seen at UWM since 2001, when Antou Jallow scored four goals in his first five games - en route to eight in his first 12 before an ACL injury ended that season. In fact, Saavedra is already the highest-scoring frosh in a season at UWM since 2008, when Eric Frazier netted team-high totals of 16 points and six goals.
Most points as a freshman in program history:
Manny Lagos, 1990: 39 (15G/9A)
Tony Sanneh, 1990: 34 (15G/4A)
Pete Knezic, 1977: 21 (7G/7A)
John Santorineos, 1979: 20 (9G/2A)
Lito Zabala, 1976: 17 (7G/3A)
Antou Jallow, 2001: 16 (8G)
Eric Frazier, 2008: 16 (6G/4A)
The performance by freshman Josh Rohde against Michigan State Oct. 4 was impressive, with several of his 14 saves of the highlight-reel variety. His 14 stops go down as the sixth-highest single-game total, and second-highest by a freshman, in program history.
1. John Fetzer, 25, 10/30/76
2. John Fetzer, 24, 11/11/73 (freshman record)
3. John Fetzer, 18, 10/8/76
4. John Fetzer, 16, 10/13/76
5. P.J. Johns, 15, 9/22/79
6. Josh Rohde, 14, 10/4/11
EVERY SECOND COUNTS
Junior Cody Banks scored the winner against Green Bay Sept. 28 with just seven seconds left, making it one of the latest goals to end a match (109:53) in recent memory. Since 2000, only a handful has even come close. UWM and Green Bay are familiar with the late heroics, with their game last season decided in the 109th minute in the win by the Phoenix. Looking back, Milwaukee lost a 2-1 game to Michigan in October of 2005 in the 109th minute. The other contenders? Vermont edged UWM, 2-1, with just 21 seconds left in double-OT in 2010 and Bowling Green defeated Milwaukee, 2-1, back in the 2001 season with just 15 seconds left in double-overtime as well.
The Panthers had their early-season three-game winning streak snapped by a run of tough luck - three consecutive 2-1 losses - including two in overtime. Milwaukee led each of those three contests by a 1-0 score well into the second half - including until the 86th minute in its losses to Gardner-Webb Sept. 16 and UAB Sept. 18 the same weekend.
In scoring four goals against Western Michigan Sept. 4, the Panthers had seven different players record goals or assists. That tied for the most since seven different players hit the stat sheet in UWM's 4-2 win over Marquette in the 2010 season opener. Prior to Chris Whalley's arrival, the last time the team had seven players score points in a game was in a 4-0 win over Wright State in October of 2006.
The Panthers have now recorded 247 shots through the first 16 games of the season and lead the Horizon League in shots per game at 15.4. Valparaiso ranks second at 15.1.
Freshman Nick Langford, senior Keegan Ziada and junior Cody Banks are among the league leaders in the category - Langford is tied for seventh with 36, while Ziada and Banks tied for 10th with 34.
VIDEO COVERAGE EXTENDED
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will produce and air 24 fall home sporting events live on the Horizon League Network this season. That extended coverage benefits the men's soccer team in the form of nine contests over the course of the 2011 regular season. Nate Lisko and Matt Menzl return as the main announcers for home Milwaukee events on HLN, beginning with the IPFW game Aug. 26. A number of fall Panther events on the road will also be available through the Horizon League Network. Those broadcasts are produced by the home school, with a full listing of those events available at horizonleague.com.
EXHIBITION SEASON REWIND
Milwaukee came through the 2011 exhibition season at a perfect 2-0, winning a pair of games in different fashions. First up was a 3-2 victory in the alumni game, followed by a 1-0 win over Lewis to close out the exhibition slate.
ON A ROLL BETWEEN SEASONS
The Panthers played 11 games in between the time the 2010 campaign came to a close and the start of the new campaign when you add up the total number of matches played in the spring and exhibition play this fall. Their record in those 11 games was an impressive 8-0-3, outscoring their opponents by a total of 24-to-8.
FINDING THE NET
Head coach Chris Whalley has had teams that have scored plenty of goals over the course of his young career. In fact, his Lees-McRae team was eighth in the country in goals per game his final season (2.74 gpg) and led the nation at 3.33 per contest in 2007.
THE GOAL IS NO GOALS
Junior John Shakon earned a spot on the 37th Panther Invitational All-Tournament Team after posting back-to-back shutouts in the two games. The clean sheets were the ninth and 10th of his UWM career and his first consecutive shutouts since beating Loyola (1-0, Oct. 16) and Oakland (2-0 Oct. 20) last season.
CHANGE IS IN THE AIR
The roster continues to undergo changes and this past offseason was no different. Head coach Chris Whalley brought in a strong group of 12 newcomers, with 10 freshmen and a pair of key transfers rounding out the new group.
Players from overseas continue to be added to the roster, with players from England (six) now accounting for the nine players total from overseas wearing a UWM uniform this season.
BETWEEN THE PIPES
Junior goalkeeper John Shakon set a few school marks two years ago when he played every minute in net of the 2009 campaign. He tied the school mark for most games by a freshman goalkeeper (Paul Royal, 18 in 1993) and set the standard for most minutes as a freshman with 1663:05 (was 1625). He ended up leading the Horizon League with 84 saves, including two on penalty kicks over the course of the season.
MORE WITH COACH WHALLEY
Look for a weekly audio podcast of the "Chris Whalley Show", as we sit down weekly with Chris to revisit the week that was and talk about the upcoming schedule. The first episode was made available Aug. 24 and will follow with a new episode every Monday during the course of the 2011 campaign.
The show is available as a link off the main UWM website page or directly at www.uwmpanthers.cstv.com/genrel/podcasts.html.
The Panthers do not have an opportunity to host a first-round game in the Horizon League Tournament, but will play next week Tuesday, Nov. 8, at the highest seed for a first-round matchup. Opponent, game time and location will be determined at a later date.


The technology in the Defy Lab watch, unveiled today by Zenith’s 21st Century Defy Lab, will put your Apple Watch to shame. At a press conference today at Zenith’s headquarters in Le Locle, Switzerland, CEO Julien Tornare and Guy Sémon, CEO of LVMH’s Watch Division, gave a keynote outlining the watch’s groundbreaking engineering, which replaces time-honored watch construction techniques. The watch’s oscillator, made of monocrystalline silicon (with details finer than a human hair), replaces the sprung balance principle, which was been used since 1675. The release ticks at an impressive frequency of 15 hertz, and is endowed with an almost 60-hour power reserve – more than 10 percent above than that of previous models. The Defy Lab is also the first watch to come with a case made from aeronith, an extremely light aluminum composite material recently developed by Hublot.

The cloud adoption, which had been growing steadily, was driven by the reality of the pandemic that forced companies to carry out remote work almost 100%.
Yet, many IT departments are concerned about the security of data migrating to the cloud. While traditional approaches can offer some assurance, businesses are now looking towards advanced solutions like cloud managed security appliances from rhinonetworks for an added layer of protection.
Applications and databases are moving to IaaS and PaaS environments, but efforts are still being made to maintain the flexibility and control of these applications. IT departments are concerned about moving their most sensitive servers and data to the cloud without relying on the hosting service they are taking it to. These concerns make them want to improve their Cloud Data Security and seek professional Cloud Engineers for this purpose.
It does not matter which service to choose: Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Compute Engine, IBM Cloud, or any other service; the fundamental thing is to guarantee the security of the company’s information assets.
The journey to the cloud
CIOs base their concerns on having company information in the cloud; leaving their sensitive data in the hands of third parties can increase and complicate the risk landscape with which companies operate daily. However, these fears are often unfounded, and it is crucial to understand the content and context of that data as it moves up to the cloud.
Understanding the environment you are transitioning into plays an essential role in data security. These three issues must be taken into account:
- The data location, as different geographic locations, could mean various regulations, laws, and standards. These factors must be evaluated when making the final decision about who will be the chosen hosting provider.
- Data security, since not all providers of IaaS/PaaS, offer the same security capabilities. Thus, it is necessary to know who has administrative access to the data, what physical and security infrastructure of the network exists, or if there is the possibility of authorizing or preventing granular access to different data resources and databases.
- Software as a Service (Saas): Having multi-tenant services can have problems since they are shared by several clients, so as far as possible, a Virtual Private Network should be requested. Amazon AWS offers this type of service known as VPC (Virtual Private Cloud), an instance in which we have complete control, and we can even connect that cloud with our corporate network to have more control. Consider software like Tentacle co.
Additionally, when migrating data, the following four premises or fundamental aspects must be considered to gain an understanding of this new environment:
- It is true that, in general, cloud computing can increase the number of risks and attack vectors to which it is vulnerable.
- One of the most effective ways to prevent information breaches is to update the risk management plan.
- Not all data is associated with the same level of risk, so each type of data has different challenges.
- The migration to a cloud environment must account for regulatory compliance since significant constraints may vary in other countries for certain kinds of information.
Security best practices for the cloud
It is essential to know who has access to the data and the keys. The answer to these questions will make it possible to improve the risk management plan to increase the level of information protection.
Access to data
Knowing who has access to the data and for what purposes it is vital to understand all security issues and, therefore, you must act while being aware that:
- It is about direct user interaction, and any administrative management that involves contact with the data must be considered. The goal is to ensure that granular access controls are maintained past the cloud threshold.
- It is important to note that new control measures may be required if an application uses external data sources, such as dynamic data encryption or data integrity validation.
- It is also necessary to consider using tools such as those for monitoring database activity, facilitating a better view of the accesses thanks to their mapping.
Keys to a security strategy
When the conditions of the providers are understood, and access to mapping has been guaranteed that allows monitoring the interactions with the data in the cloud, it is necessary to plan the security controls. For it:
- Understand who is responsible for protecting infrastructure components, something that may vary depending on whether it is IaaS or PaaS.
- Take your responsibility for dynamic data encryption, such as SSL or VPN.
- Protect access to the administration console, as it is one of the most vulnerable points of attack.
- Install security software and follow the database vendor’s security guidelines (except when working with PaaS, as this is usually the vendor’s responsibility).
- Don’t forget to consider app security.
Cloud Data Security is a hot topic for many companies nowadays. Various companies proved that data exposure would cost a way much more than monthly spending on improving their security. Hope, the knowledge in this article prevents you from data breaches.

As we near the end of the warmer weather in Colorado and prep our ski gear for the winter, the whitewater still available to raft becomes scarce in the state. Most rivers here rely on snow melt every year for whitewater and raftable water levels. After all the warm weather in June and July has pushed through the snowpack, we are left with natural flows on our rivers. Don’t let this get you down – AVA still has an option for those wanting to get out on the river in October.
The Colorado River
Colorado River’s History
Originating in Rocky Mountain National Park on La Poudre Pass, the Colorado River forms from the Continental Divide and begins to make its way southwest through the state towards Utah. This 1,450 mile long river spans across five states in the U.S. before crossing the border into Mexico. Some notable features along the Colorado River include Lake Powell, Horseshoe Bend, and the mighty Grand Canyon.
Colorado River Rafting Options in October
Upper Colorado Near Kremmling
Whether you’re fly fishing or rafting this Class II stretch of the Colorado River, Pumphouse to Radium and/or Rancho del Rio are popular half and full day trips during the month of October. The evening temperatures drop to frosty levels at this time of year, but overnight rafting trips in this area are common among private boaters too.
Shoshone Section Near Glenwood Springs
This section of the Colorado River is less likely to run to the end of October. Normally the best rafting on the Shoshone would be mid-summer, but on a good water year you may be able to get out on the river further into the fall season, even though the water levels will be lower.
How to Prepare for an October Rafting Trip
With the unpredictability of Colorado’s weather during the fall season, the day of your rafting trip could be snowy and 30 degrees or 70 and sunny. You’ve got to be prepared for every type of weather when adventuring through the Colorado Rockies in a shoulder season.
What to Pack for a Day Rafting Trip
- Don’t forget your sunscreen and sunglasses. Even if the temperature is lower, the sun is strong at this elevation so prepare for that.
- Avoid wearing cotton. When cotton gets wet it doesn’t dry quickly, so if it’s cooler outside it will make you cold. Any clothing you have on should be athletic material.
- As for shoes, you could normally wear adventure sandals but may want to reconsider for raft trips in the fall. Between colder water temperatures and lukewarm daytime highs, purchasing water shoes or wearing old tennis shoes on the raft will at least keep your feet a little less exposed.
- Utilize a wetsuit and/or splash jacket. On trips with AVA Rafting, these items are included in the trip price you pay. If you’re used to warmer climates or you’re rafting on a chillier day, be sure to inquire about wearing a wetsuit or splash jacket when you get to our outpost.
Commercial Versus Private Rafting Trip
Book a commercial trip if you want to avoid all of the logistics of a rafting trip on the Colorado River, or rent all the gear you need for a private trip to float downstream at your own leisure. Either way, AVA’s got you covered on both options.
Commercial Rafting Trips on the Colorado River
- ½ Day Scenic Float Trip
Spend the morning or the afternoon on the river with AVA. The time commitment for our ½ day scenic float trip is about 3.5 hours with 2 hours spent on the water. VIEW TRIP HERE
- Full Day Scenic Float Trip
If you’re making the drive up to Kremmling, you might as well commit the entire day to a rafting excursion. Not only will you spend up to 5 hours on the water, but a riverside lunch is included on AVA’s full day scenic float trip. VIEW TRIP HERE
- Inflatable Kayaks or Stand Up Paddle Boards
If you’re looking to up the intensity of these Class II rapids, you can take on the river in an inflatable kayak or on a stand up paddle board.
Private Rafting Trips on the Colorado River
Maybe you just need someone to take care of the groover situation for your private overnight rafting trip on the Colorado, or you need the whole lineup of equipment to rent for a day or two. AVA has options available for you and your crew to get you out on the river.
Call AVA Rafting & Zipline today and we’ll get you set up for your October rafting trip!

Some people simply don’t know when to quit. Sadly, failed candidate Hillary Clinton is one of those people. Investors reports during an interview with the National Public Radio, Clinton stated that she will not rule out the possibility of contesting the legitimacy of President Trump’s victory. Each day, this woman makes America happier and happier that we did not elect her.
Each time Clinton opens her dreadful mouth, she simply demonstrates what a massive, flagrant hypocrite she is. On October 24, 2016, Clinton slammed Trump as a “danger to our democracy” because of what she perceived as his potential refusal to accept the election results.
Seeing the manner in which the tables have turned is enthralling, to say the least. Clinton had no problem as the self appointed arbiter of right and wrong when she thought she was winning the election. When she thought the fix was in, she preached from her high horse like the world has never seen. Now that the tide has changed, so has Clinton.
All of a sudden, she has absolutely no regard for the safety of America’s democracy. In all fairness, she never did. Her aforementioned condemnation of the soon-to-be President Trump was merely an empty soundbite. This woman fancied herself as entitled to the Oval Office. Her failure to win the election is her own fault, and arguably karma for all the corruption and people she screwed over on her way to Democratic elitism.
Grow Up and Go Away
Americans are sick of Hillary Clinton. As Judge Jeanine pointed out in her epic Clinton takedown, people refused to vote for Clinton simply because they did not like or trust her. This is a reality she needs to face. It’s not about America’s so called unreadiness for a woman President. It’s not because successful, accomplished women are viewed less favorably. Clinton did this to herself.
Moreover, recent excerpts from her excused filled memoir, ‘What Happened’ revealed the utter contempt Clinton has for Americans, especially women who did not vote for her. First, she claims men conned white women into not voting for her. Then, she affirms her lack of absolution for people who didn’t support her. This entitled, narcissistic woman wrote about people coming up to her and apologizing. She then goes on to essentially state that it’s not her job to make them feel better.
Ladies and gentlemen of America, this is Hillary Clinton. She is reprobate, unethical, and unlikeable. Her admission of willingness to contest the election results merely highlights her utter hypocrisy. Each day, the people of this nation wake up, we thank ourselves that Hillary Rodham Clinton will never ever be President.

Submitted by guitar-list on
Project Voyager was born in January of 1999. This was the demo project of Chicago-based singer/songwriter Joe Vana. Joe was a member of Jim Peterik and World Stage at the time and was toying with the idea of getting out the songs he had co-written with Jim. Joe informed his friend and melodicrock.com webmaster Andrew McNeice, and since then Andrew's followed the project all the way through. In 1999 Joe knew he was ready to take the first step.
Joe enlisted the help of Mike Aquino. Mike is Vana's guitar teacher and was playing on Joe's demos in addition to writing a lot of material with Joe. Joe then approached Jim Peterik with his idea of doing an album. Peterik agreed to produce, at minimum, the tracks he co-wrote with Vana. Project Voyager was moving forward.
Joe contacted friend Fergie Frederiksen to join the mix. "I've always seen myself as a ballad and finesse type of singer," says Vana. "I wanted Fergie to sing the harder-edged numbers I had earmarked for the album." After meeting with Fergie and the investment group, they informed the project's co-producer Jim Peterik that Fergie was in. Project Voyager was moving even faster.
Vana met with Jim and they discussed the game plan of who else and where? Where to record the album and who to bring into the band. Joe wanted David Hungate, the legendary bass player of Toto and about every other hit song in the '80s. Jim previously worked with Hungate in Nashville on a song written with producer Joe Thomas and Ides bandmate Larry Millas. The song "That's Why God Made Radio" was coincidentally the first song Joe ever sang with Jim Peterik. Joe contacted David by email (what a wonderful thing) and asked his availability. David agreed. Next JP placed a call to Hungate. David Hungate informed JP that Shannon Forrest had to be the drummer. Shannon was an unknown musician to Vana and Peterik. But if Hungate recommends him, who are we to question? Boy, were they glad they didn't! Jimmy Nichols was next to join Mecca's line-up. Nichols played on JP's debut World Stage album and has been a longtime friend of JP's. The studio? The Sound Kitchen in Nashville based on its remarkable capabilities and drum rooms.
During this time Joe was finishing up vocals for an album on the Long Hill Entertainment label. Soon afterwards Peterik and Vana started writing more intently and Jim laid out the beginnings of a song called "Mecca." Joe loved it and they worked together to finish the song within a two-hour timeframe. Songs entitled "Silence of the Heart" and "Without You" soon followed. Vana adds, "Songwriting with Jim Peterik is so easy. He is open to ideas and different arrangements. I thought it would be hard to get the arrangements on certain songs the way I envisioned them. But Jim was real open to change. I am a sucker for breakdowns and wanted a lot of them. We got 'em." Vana further explains, "Jim also helped on songs I wrote with Jason Deroche about a year prior. I wrote those during a trying period. But Jim helped me lyrically pull the emotion through these songs. And his musical ideas and arrangements were breathtaking." Peterik and Vana discussed calling the band Mecca instead of Project Voyager. It was done. With Jim now producing the whole album and the band's team mates established, the recording process was right around the corner.

With the application of a novel three-dimensional imaging technology, researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have discovered that one portion of the autonomic nervous system in the liver undergoes severe degeneration in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The study, which is conducted in mice and human liver tissue, shows that the degeneration of nerves is correlated with the severity of liver pathology. The results are being published in the journal Science Advances.

Behold! Another Simplicity 2343. Trust me, folks, when you find a skirt pattern that miraculously gives you a flat stomach and is comfortable to wear all day, it’s hard to do anything else. I believe I now have what is known in the sewing blogosphere (yes, there is such a thing) as a “TNT” pattern – tried and tested. The great thing about having TNT patterns is that you can then change them to add cool new design elements, while being assured that the basic pattern will always fit you. Result!
So, this time, I used some delicious Nani Iro Japanese herringbone linen that I bought from the lovely Seattle based Dry Goods Design. It’s hard to see, but it’s a herringbone pattern, in what looks like fountain pen scratches. It has a great border print which is just like a brush-stroke of ink, so I decide to attempt to be clever and use it in the design.
And lined it in the same silk. I’ve since found a better skirt lining tutorial on a Fashionable Stitch which I’ll use next time to get a better result. However, this isn’t bad! After one wear, the lining was pulling a bit on the back seam, so I interfaced it and re-sewed, and now it appears to be standing up well.

Augmented reality devices, such as Google Glass, and augmented reality media on other devices, such as smartphones and tablets, is likely to become an important business tool, according to a number of leading analysts.
Augmented reality is where an electronic device overlays computer graphics and text over a real-life image in real time.
Aside from Google Glass and similar devices currently in development by major consumer electronics firms, augmented reality also includes smartphone and tablet apps that overlays information over real-time footage from a camera.
“Augmented reality is the real-time use of information in the form of text, graphics, audio and other virtual enhancements integrated with real-world objects,” Gartner principal research analyst Tuong Huy Nguyen says.

In a statement, Gartner points out that augmented reality has useful applications such as overlaying temperature information, highlighting objects of interest, instructional materials and providing additional information (such as height or distance data).
“For example, firefighters can use AR to find out ambient temperature or a building layout so they know exits, and potentially dangerous areas,” Gartner states.
“These technologies together provide various benefits to using AR as an internal tool. This includes enhancing current business process, facilitating and optimizing the use of current technologies, and providing business innovation.”
Also bullish about the future of augmented reality is former Nokia executive and mobile industry analyst Tomi Ahonen, who has boldly predicted 1 billion augmented reality users worldwide by 2020.
“Juniper Research is the first analyst house to release into the public domain a count of global users of AR. They announced in November that the world has 60 million AR users at the end of 2013. 60 million might not sound like much. Remember, AR is primarily a media type accessible to smartphone users, not all mobile phone users.
“60 million AR users means 4% of all smartphone users globally are already using AR. That, my friends, is a huge number. AR is not on par with the growth rate of mobile media. AR is ahead of where mobile media was four years in.
“The first global number for AR revenues was also released late last year. Research and Markets found the AR global revenues for 2013 to be almost half a billion dollars. They counted 496 million dollars in October 2013 for the full year.
“If we use those two separate studies we get a preliminary ARPU number too. The annual average revenue of the AR industry per user is $US8.27 so the monthly ARPU is US67 cents per active user. This is vastly ahead of the early mobile media revenue and ARPU levels.”

Ikea’s getting ready to release their 2018 catalog. While it won’t be available until August, we got a look at a pre-release version, and went through it to see if anything jumped out at us. We found the new furniture offerings to be standard fare, but there are four new objects that we didn’t quite expect to see:
SNOFSA Clock $12.99
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
Made from glass and powder-coated steel done up with a brass finish, this visually arresting, Art-Deco-ish clock speaks of the designers being given some leeway.
ÖSTERNÄS Leather handles $9.99/2pk and $12.99/2pk
Made from “Through dyed grain leather from cattle, with a treated and pigmented surface and stainless steel,” these leather handle pulls take a cue from luxury furniture, and will go a long way towards dressing up an otherwise plain storage unit.
TILLSYN Hourglass $7.99
It’s not Marc Newson’s $12,000 Hodinkee model, though it borrows the colors of the beads. I’ve also recently spotted hourglasses for sale at CB2; in this age of digital timers, are throwback hourglasses becoming a thing?
FADO Table lamp $19.99
Buyers can choose between a yellow or grey tint for the glass globe, which is roughly 9″ in diameters. The Edison-looking bulb within is actually an LED bulb. It’s obviously a mood light and not a task light, but it’s a damn sight better looking than the cheapie paper-clad models Ikea is known for.
The 2018 Ikea Catalog will be available to the public in early August.

Irrespective of whether or not there are any more incomings, long-serving City captain Vincent Kompany believes there is a level of hunger among his team-mates that was not present when the club failed to defend the Premier League title in 2012-13 and 2014-15.

Japan marks 73rd anniversary of Hiroshima bombing
Japan, which hosts USA troops on its land and falls under the protections of the US's nuclear umbrella, has not signed the treaty. Japan needs to lead the global community toward "dialogue and cooperation for a world without nuclear weapons", the mayor added.
"As with all these things, it's only when it comes upon people - but again it wasn't a unanimous decision to do it, so there's bound to be some dissent still around".
"But it was done for the reasons the clubs wanted to do it, for the purposes of not having a situation where clubs are threatened with players leaving to go to other Premier League clubs".
The City players were put through a variety of training drills to help ensure they are in peak condition for the visit to the Emirates Stadium.
Who's going down? Cardiff City, Huddersfield Town, Watford.

National not-for-profit Youngcare have teamed up with Brisbane post-alternative rock outfit Between Kings to ask Australians to ‘buy a brick’ and help build a home for young people with high care needs living in institutional housing.
Youngcare estimates there are still 12,000 young Australians being left behind in institutional-style accommodation, such as aged care, hospitals and rehabilitation centres, because there is simply nowhere else for them to go. Youngcare is looking to build more purpose-built, fully accessible and age-appropriate living spaces for those aged between 18 and 65 in Queensland and New South Wales.
Twelve years since former Powderfinger frontman B
“To hear that young people can’t choose how they live, where they live and who they live with is shocking to us. It’s a freedom we all deserve,” he said.
Jordan says of the bands song, The Escape that it “is a love letter to anyone who is struggling to let them know they are not alone. Looking back, it feels like the song was written for Youngcare and this campaign, with lyrics like ‘brick by brick I’ll build these walls, I’ll be your home’. It’s not just building physical homes for people but emotionally building them a home,”
Watch the video for The Escape here
Youngcare CEO Anthony Ryan said there was still a significant shortage of suitable and appropriately supported housing for young people with high care needs.
“It’s abhorrent that in a country like Australia, young people with disabilities are living without independence, choice and dignity — something Youngcare is striving to change,”
“With no recurrent government funding, we need a new generation of supporters to help us make a difference”.
The band recently held an acoustic Sunday session in Brisbane where Youngcare threw a free BBQ to build awareness of the Buy A Brick campaign.
Between Kings next show will be at The Triffid in Brisbane on Friday, July 20.
Youngcare will be there selling foam ‘bricks’ to raise money for the campaign and Between Kings will also be donating $5 from every merch item they sell at the gig to Youngcare
The band will also be filming a music video for their next single, World Of Our Own, on the night!

Genius Sports added another sports betting company to its roster this week, agreeing to provide official league data for New York-based pricing provider, Huddle.
Huddle provides AI learning-based models. Sportsbooks like Circa Sports use them to price their lines and factor in risk.
According to the release, Huddle plans to leverage its algorithms with Genius’ feeds to deliver faster and more responsive live-betting markets for quarters and halves, player props, and same game parlays, increasingly popular methods of betting.
NFL data at forefront for Genius Sports
Genius won exclusive rights to NFL data in 2021, after reportedly beating out multiple bidders. While the full details of the deal are not public, LSR reports indicate Genius pays the league around $100 million a year for the rights.
As part of the deal, sportsbooks and software providers like Huddle pay Genius a 1.5% cut from pre-game betting revenue and 5% cuts from live betting revenue in exchange for the data. But it has been challenging to monetize so far, as sportsbooks have struggled with live markets pricing. Genius shares are down over 67% since landing the NFL rights.
Genius has become more experimental since, recently partnering with Caesars Sportsbook to offer the first in-app NFL stream for a sporstbook. It likely will continue to look for ways to make money from its NFL rights, as more than half of the company’s revenue comes from betting technology, content and services.
Huddle leverages computer trading
Landing Genius’s access to official data and stat feeds is a significant development for Huddle.
The provider merged with Las Vegas-based DeckPrism sports last year, a modeling specialist focussed on providing live bets without rapid price changes from delays. Genius’ data should help Huddle strengthen its automated pricing systems, which business-to-business providers have increasingly moved to as they look to cut human workforce.
“We share a joint belief with Genius that betting has enormous untapped potential. The industry needs innovative, engaging products that are easy and entertaining for the users,” Huddle CEO and co-founder Francesco Bgorgosano said. “And the combination of fast and reliable data with algorithmic solutions will unlock the necessary product innovation. It’s an amazing opportunity for Huddle to join forces with a reputable and established Company such as Genius to create new and exciting betting experiences.”

Homeland Security's Data Vacuum Cleaner In Action
An Investigation by the Identity Project
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has quietly perfected and begun to implement their scheme that will require Americans to seek and get permission from DHS in order to travel both domestically and abroad.
The results of an investigation by the Identity Project show that DHS is actively collecting information on what Americans read, with whom they associate, and the ethnicity of individual American travelers. If you need Legal Advice, visit our website. DHS is also actively acquiring the travel records of Americans that document non-US travel, e.g., intra-European flights.
Almost one hundred pages of travel records were turned over by DHS to the Identity Project in response to Privacy Act requests. These documents – many heavily redacted – make clear that DHS is not being honest and forthright with the American public.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said studies have revealed that about 75 per cent of the houses in Nigeria are substandard.
Osinbajo, however said the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration was intensifying efforts to make decent and affordable homes available for Nigerians.
This, he said, was amidst the growing challenge posed by access to adequate funding.
The Vice President said this in an address read on his behalf by the Managing Director, Family Homes Funds, Femi Adewole, at the ongoing Africa International Housing Show 2022, in Abuja.
The Vice President, who was represented at the show by the Managing Director, Family Homes Funds, Femi Adewole, said, “Access to affordable housing is a major challenge that remains substantially unresolved in Nigeria. “
He further said, “Although there is no shortage of policies and programmes that have been enacted by various governments to tackle this problem, effective implementation remains a persistent dilemma.
“Our housing challenge in Nigeria presents itself in two primary forms. We have the issue of inadequate housing supply to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population, most significantly for people on low income and young people.”
He also said, “Secondly, a large proportion of our existing stock are substandard housing which do not meet widely accepted standards of habitability.
“According to a study by PWC, about 75 per cent of the 42 million housing units we have in Nigeria, which is about 31.6 million of them were substandard.”
After listing these challenges, Osinbajo noted that “These challenges continue to deepen with increasing social and income inequalities in our society.
“At the extreme, many households are faced with the dilemma of survival between food and adequate shelter.
“This is not congruent with this administration’s vision for a better Nigeria where even the weakest among us will have the dignity of decent homes.”
He also said, “Over the last seven years, across different areas of government, a number of important initiatives which have the potential to enable us meet these challenges successfully going forward are being put in place.
“The government continues to support the Nigerian Mortgage Refinance Company originally established in 2015, with its guarantees enabling it to access the capital market competitively to refinance mortgages.”

Here is a new tool called My Ocean for ocean data visualisation. This fast, intuitive, detailed, and accurate ocean viewer can be used by all communities in various sectors,
- from citizens to students,
- from policymakers to data scientists,
- and from business companies to start-ups.
The ocean and the services it provides act as a foundation for the three pillars of sustainable development, namely, the economy, environment, and society. We would like this new tool to be useful to those three pillars. From temperature, currents, and waves to acidity and plankton, you will have all the convenient ocean maps right at your fingertips. The new viewer marks an important step in broadening access to the wealth of Copernicus Marine data as part of Copernicus’s mission, supporting society to understand and adapt to our changing environment employing world-leading science and technology.
Whether you are tracking extremely high wave storms, planning a sailing trip, or simply need to know if your favourite beach will get warm waters for a swim on a weekend, our tool provides you with the most up-to-date ocean data around. This tool brings you high-quality information while being absolutely free to use and ad-free as well. You do not need to be a registered user to access it.
The new viewer provides dynamic visualisation (without the requirement to download data into specialised tools or software), giving users access to maps, charts, and local time series based on information generated by the Copernicus Marine Service. It does not require users to be well acquainted with browsing the catalogue to be able to display a live map of the ocean.
Figure 1: Sea Water Velocity (SWV [M/S] - Global Ocean 09/07/2020 12:00
It allows anyone to display ocean data on a live map of the world instantly,
- in just one place and a few clicks,
- by zooming on a region and panning on the map,
- and by making point-and-click queries to visualise time-series.
Two slider buttons allow you to span the ocean from its surface to the bottom, dating back to two years (this varied depending on the product) up to the next 10-day forecasts.
The viewer provides the basis for users to easily locate many products. The “Add Layer” function includes an intuitive search system, improved filtering, and a clear display of the resulting information. Moreover, when adding a new layer to the default viewer, you can now choose your “universe” across the Blue (physical), Green (biogeochemical), and White (sea ice) Oceans.
The new Copernicus Marine data viewer is compliant with the highest standards of usability. It has been developed by Lobelia Earth for the Copernicus Marine Service. More functionalities will be added in the coming months.

The guide I have spent so much time writing and creating is finally available! I wanted to find a way to thank all of you for all of you kind love and support throughout this journey. All of you motivate me SO much more than you know and help me push myself to new limits. Helping all of you become healthy and happy little humans is my main goal of my fitness insta. Sometimes, we don't have the support we need from individuals around us. I have been knocked down many times over the past year, but have built myself up stronger each time. Social media is a great way to gain motivation and help when you're feeling down or things just aren't going your way. This community has truly helped me in SO many ways over the last year and I am beyond grateful for the friendships I've made through it.
I have had many of my friends and family ask me to create workout plans and/or go to the gym with them. Working two jobs and attending graduate school makes it almost impossible to have any free time...ever. And most free time is spent doing HW or studying, so writing a guide that was available for everyone came to mind. Helping individuals is my goal, so I thought this would be a way to reach EVERYONE. Amanda and Wolfefit made this dream possible for me. She gave me the opportunity to write a guide and helped launch the whole thing. She's such an amazing individual and this community is unbelievable. I couldn't be more excited to share this program with you! I hope you join me on this journey to become the healthiest, happiest, and best version of yourself!
In celebration of the guide, I decided to make this blog post a special one! I have included ONE FULL workout from the guide, with a video to go along! The workout I chose was Workout 4 HIIT/CARDIO. I chose this day because HIIT was how I started seeing HUGE RESULTS. It's the first thing I added to my training that helped me become more serious in the gym. HIIT or High Intensity Interval Training, allows you to burn more calories than jogging or even walking on a treadmill for an hour. Did I mention HIIT workouts can be done quickly through circuit training. Your endurance will increase leading to higher reps and heavier lifts. The workout I have included below consists of two circuits. Complete each workout in the circuit for 30s each. You can rest in between sets for 15s. Complete each circuit for 2-3 rounds and make sure you complete circuit one for ALL rounds before moving onto circuit two.
Other benefits to adding HIIT to your workouts are;
1. Burn Fat NOT Muscle.
2. Metabolism increases.
3. Build a healthier heart.
4. Require little to no equipment.
5. Can be done almost anywhere.
Now, let's get sweaty together!

So I inherited a flock of chickens today. 13 hens and a rooster if I counted correctly. They are currently the only chickens I have and was just curious if you do anything special when getting chickens from someone else. They have been fed medicated chick feed. Some are laying, and others are almost laying age. I have these locked in a 12x8 coop/shed and plan to do that for a week or two while I work on the run just to let them know where they are supposed to roost. Anything in particular I need to look out for or pay attention to with an inherited flock? Thanks!

With the buildup for the 2013 Miss Universe pageant in full swing, Colombia’s contestant came out in a traditional ensemble Monday during the preliminary National Costume event.
Lucia Aldana Roldan, 21, wore a dress made by Colombian designer Alfredo Barraza and Hugo Jamioi, an artisan from Colombia’s Arawaca indigenous community.
Titled “Jilguero del Guatapari,” the dress features flowing black and yellow “tail” and pays homage to the iconic “jilguero” songbird, which lives along the banks of Guatapari River in northeastern Colombia.
Roldan premiered it Monday, alongside performances by Colombian salsa, cumbia and currulao dancers, in an event designed to highlight the national heritages of the 86 contestants.
Winner of the Miss Colombia competition in 2012, Roldan begins preliminary competition Tuesday for the Miss Universe finals, which begin on the 9th of November in Moscow, Russia.
Roldan, a native of Cali, Colombia’s third biggest city, told reporters she is “excited to represent the culture, the tradition and the beauty of the women” in Colombia.

Team USA got off to a rough start at the Tokyo Olympics on Wednesday as a 44-game unbeaten streak for the US women's national soccer team came to a sudden end. Sweden easily defeated the squad 3-0, with two goals from Stina Blackstenius and another from Linda Hurtig. The US only managed to strike the goal post—twice. It was the first time in 73 games that the USWNT, the reigning World Cup champions, failed to score, per NBC Sports. It was also the first time since 2011 that the team lost a competitive game in regulation, and the first time since 2008 that the team lost a game in a major tournament by multiple goals. The USWNT had earned 40 wins and four draws since its last defeat in a friendly match against France in January 2019, per CNN.
Sweden also defeated the USWNT in a quarterfinals shootout when the teams last met at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Sweden ultimately took home silver.

ICC WTC final: India’s updated squad announced
Rohit Sharma-led India will play the ICC WTC final against Australia starting 7th June, 2023 at The Oval, London.
The ICC World Test Championship final will be played between Australia and India at The Oval in London from June 7 to 11 (12th being the reserve day). Australia qualified for this match after finishing as a number one ranked team on the ICC WTC 2021-23 points table while India defeated Australia 2-1 in the recently held Border Gavaskar trophy at home.
While this will be Australia’s first appearance in the ICC World Test Championship final, India will be playing their second consecutive final of the ICC World Test Championship. They last played in the final of the WTC in 2021 against New Zealand at the Southampton ground in England and lost to the Kiwis in the summit clash.
Australia have already announced their 15 men’s squad for the summit clash against India which will be captained by Pat Cummins.
On the other hand, while the BCCI announced the Indian squad for the WTC 2023 final sometime back, they have been heard by injuries to multiple first-choice players. The likes of Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and Jasprit Bumrah were already ruled out of the match due to their respective injuries.
However, the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023 has given an added headache to the BCCI as multiple players have been dealing with many injuries. Opener and wicket-keeping option KL Rahul has already been ruled out of the match after suffering a thigh injury.
Jaydev Unadkat injured his shoulder and Umesh Yadav is suffering from a hamstring injury. In its official release, the Indian board provided an update on the injury status of fast bowlers – Jaydev Unadkat and Umesh Yadav.
“Jaydev Unadkat sustained a left shoulder injury by tripping over the side rope while bowling in the nets. A specialist consultation has been sought and the left-arm fast bowler is currently at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru undergoing strength and rehab sessions for his shoulder. A decision on his participation in the WTC final will be taken at a later stage,” the statement read.
“Umesh Yadav sustained a minor left hamstring injury during Match 36 of TATA IPL 2023 between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on 26 April. The fast bowler is currently under the care of the KKR Medical Team and has started low-intensity bowling as part of his rehab process. The BCCI Medical Team is in regular touch with KKR Medical Team and is closely monitoring Umesh’s progress,” it added.
Ishan Kishan named KL Rahul’s replacement in Indian squad for WTC final
On Monday, the BCCI announced an update to the Indian squad and named Ishan Kishan as KL Rahul’s replacement. Rahul sustained the injury during LSG’s IPL 2023 clash against RCB earlier this month. He was chasing the ball to stop it from going towards the boundary before pulling up.
“KL Rahul suffered an injury to his right upper thigh while fielding during Match 43rd of TATA IPL 2023 between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore on 1st May. After consultations with specialists, it has been decided that Rahul will undergo surgery at the earliest followed by rehab at the National Cricket Academy for the same. He is ruled out of the upcoming ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia,” BCCI said in a statement.
The BCCI also named Ruturaj Gaikwad, Mukesh Kumar, and Suryakumar Yadav as standby players for the WTC final, slated to be held at the Oval in London from June 7 to 11.
India’s squad for ICC WTC final:
Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, KS Bharat (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Akshar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Mohammad Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Umesh Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat, Ishan Kishan (wk).
Standby players: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Mukesh Kumar, Suryakumar Yadav.

My first post to these forums, so thought I'd just try a few photos from last years summer road trip to the North Cape (Nordkapp) in Norway. First photo is of yours truly in the far north (Finmark),
and the second is of my travelling buddy, in the fjords west of Bergen.
Even in June there are still 2 metre high snow banks beside the road, although it is warm enough to pottle along in just jeans. (And yes, he's packing some lead weight in those panniers and forgot to preload the rear shock!)
