Bump d’Bump - 34 miles
Looked to be the hottest Saturday morning of the year so far – sleeveless jersey and frozen bottle weather. I saw Mark A. getting his bike ready when I rode by his house, then he caught up with me at the light on Ygnacio; said he was beating the heat and wanted to do some trail riding before the USA v Italia World Cup game. I stopped at the Gate and he went on. I decided today I would not go for a sub 21 big gear ride but would only use lower gears when it would help me go faster and when I needed to to hold JB’s wheel.
JB showed up right on time and two guys who looked about our speed started up just in front of us. We let them go and stayed a ways behind them for a long time. We were pretty close behind them when two other guys (Pegasus team) passed all four of us fast and easy – not even breathing hard.
JB told me that he usually makes a smoothie for breakfast and puts some in his bike bottle. Today though, he was out of strawberries so he made a smoothie out of broccoli and walnuts (!) He admitted it didn’t have the restorative qualities of his usual concoction.
At the Bump, one of the first two guys attacked his buddy and got a big gap – JB and I stayed behind the slower guy. Now it was two Pegasus guys, single guy, another guy, and me and JB. Then we got to Son of Chainbuster and JB tried to launch one around the single guy and I accelerated around the outside and kept it up. So now I was in front of JB and stayed there the rest of the way to Junction (42m26s) with him finishing about a minute back.
Yes, nice and warm at the Junction. We decided to go down South Gate Road and back up. It really felt good and cool to descend through the shade of those big trees. We also saw Mark A on his way up the road so I don’t know what trails he rode to get way over there.
We turned around at the Tire Poppers but JB forgot to downshift beforehand so he struggled for a minute to get in a groove. I opined that most of the people who don’t ride Diablo regularly and the riders who come from farther away, prefer riding on the south side because it’s a little easier and has more varied scenery and for that reason the average speed of riders on this side is a little slower than on the north. There are certainly plenty of fast riders here, and there are usually more riders here, and there are more slow riders here than on the other side so you wind up passing more people than you do on NGR… and that’s always fun.
Then a really fast guy passed us, and then a triathlete guy passed us and I tried to stay with him. Suddenly JB appeared to bonk but I kept going with triathlete guy, passing him at the SGR ranger kiosk. I felt pretty good and kept on pounding but the triathlete guy passed me back. So my SGR time from the Tire Poppers was just under 37minutes and JB was way back. I think he’ll be buying some more strawberries this week.

Well it's been almost a year since i started writing for the fantastic Skwigly online animation magazine. The Magazine it's self has come on leaps and bounds providing excellent content for there audience.
During this year I've had the opportunity to meet, greet and talk to some real legends of animation as well as some personal heros, I'm going to post some links to some of my favourite article and interviews i've conducted this year as i've not been updating this blog regularly enough.
The excellent Ainslie Henderson was one of my first interviews, and it felt like i'd reached my goals already, now up for his second BAFTA, this talented stop-motion animator was joy and privilege to interview: Ainslie Henderson Interview.
During my Visit to Stuttgart International animtional festival (which Skwigly was one of my finance provders, securing me a press pass for the event) I was able to interview PIXAR director Saschka Unseld about his short film Blue Umbrella, a ground braking animation demonstration showcasing the highest level of CGI animation PIXar has to offer: Interview with Saschka Unseld
One of the films that created a massive wave of excitement in 2013 was the felted stop motion animation "oh willy". During my Stuttgart visit I was able to interview co-director Marc Roels, he was a extremely funny and genuine fella: Interview with Marc Roels
This was just very exciting altogether, combining the music i love with animation, Perfection. Queens of the stone age '...like clockwork' music video review.
I was also asked to attend a preview screening of Dispicable Me 2, who doesn't love those little yellow guys: Despicable Me 2 Review
This was a fun, and kinda popular, article i wrote about the pit falls of working for free as a recent graduate: Should I Work for Free article
I also had the wonderful opportunity to interview Australian animator Michael Cusack, about his new film, which i swear is picking up every award going, he is genuinely one of the most lovely guy's I have ever met and he a can spin a yarn like no other, it was great to meet him also at encounter film festival in Bristol. Interview with Michael Cusack
And of course what year of writing about animation would be complete without my own interview with the Lord of stop-motion, Mr Peter Lord of Aadman animation studio on his recent Morph Kickstarter Campaign which I covered from start to finish. Interview with Peter Lord
I also had the pleasure of meeting other heros of animation such as Mackinnon and Saunders, Barry Purves and the wonderful Adam Elliot which I have to say I think may have been a highlight of my life! as well as this i've got to know and get far more involved with the Skwigly team as a whole and I believe I have met friends and colleges for life, it has really been a great adventure and I hope it continues in the new year!

Memorial Record of Western Kentucky, Volume I and Volume II, Lewis Publishing Company, 1904, pp. 47-48. Carlisle Co.
TOM C. PETTIT The press has not only recorded the history of advancement, but has also ever been the leader in the work of progress and improvement - the herald of civilization. The philosopher of some centuries ago proclaimed the truth that "the pen is mightier than the sword," and the statement is continually being verified in the affairs of life. In molding public opinion the power of the newspaper cannot be estimated, but at all events its influence is greater than that of any other single agency. Mr. Pettit is a representative of the journalistic interests of Bardwell, Kentucky, where, since 1899, he has published his paper. A native of Calloway county, Kentucky, he is a son of the Rev. Thomas H. Pettit, whose birth occurred in White county, Tennessee, and who came to Kentucky in 1866. He was a Baptist minister of considerable prominence, and for thirty-five years continued in the work of the holy calling, giving his energies to the upbuilding of the church until his death, which occurred in 1895. His wife was Miss Belisle, and represented a family connected with the pioneer history of both Virginia and Tennessee. Tom C. Pettit is a native of Calloway county, Kentucky, born in 1867, and with his parents came to Ballard (now Carlisle) county, Kentucky, in 1870. In 1883 his parents removed to Arlington, where he
entered the drug business, with which he was connected until 1894. In that year he began the publication of the Carlisle County News, at Arlington, where he remained until 1899, when he removed his paper to Bardwell, where he has since continued its publication with success, securing a good patronage, both from subscribers and advertisers. The paper is well edited, is neat in appearance, and the plant is well equipped for doing high-grade work. In 1889 Mr. Pettit was united in marriage to Miss Ada Owen, of Arlington, and they have a wide acquaintance in Bardwell, numbering many warm friends.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a bureaucratic nightmare that many of the most disadvantaged members of the community are missing out on because it’s so difficult to navigate, a study has found.
Professor Gemma Carey from UNSW conducted a research review of 25 studies which is published in the Australian Journal of Public Administration.
Her study confirmed that Indigenous Australians and people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds are more likely to be excluded from the scheme altogether, or face barriers to gaining services and supports.
The paper concludes that five years after it began, the NDIS has become a “highly inequitable” scheme.
“What we’re seeing in the NDIS is that there are particular groups of people that do really well, and there are groups who do very poorly,” Professor Carey told Government News.
“Not always, but generally, that has a lot to do with whether you have the skills to navigate a really complex administrative system and argue your case for it.
“A white middle class group of people designed the system and guess what? It works really well for white middle class people but not really for anyone else.”
A white middle class group of people designed the system and guess what? It works really well for white middle class people but not realy for anyone else.Professor Gemma Carey
According to government statistics, at June 2019 there were 24,023 CALD participants in the NDIS, representing just 8.4 per cent of those in the scheme.
There were 16,417 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants, making up 5.7 per cent of all participants, despite this group having higher rates of disability.
Public sector marketplace
Professor Carey says the NDIS is an example of a public sector marketplace, a model which has emerged over the last 30 years to give citizens more choice and control, but also to increase government efficiencies.
These schemes tend to be administratively complex, she says, with most of the burden falling on the individual.
In the NDIS, for example, participants have to complete access forms and provide the required documentation, argue their case at planning meetings and then go through the process of finding and engaging service providers.
“If you know how to work a bureaucracy, and argue your case and write letters to ministers, you’re more likely to get what you need,” Professor Carey says.
“But if you’re a new migrant and you have to fill out paperwork and collate six reports from specialists, and then you get on to the scheme and there’s disagreement about the sorts of services you need, you’re much less likely to find your way through.”
The research also finds a lack of information in different languages, lack of translators, lack of publicly funded advocates, and lack of cultural sensitivity, as well as a “punitive and exclusionary” approach to policing the sorts of supports people are eligible for.
Publicly funded advocates
Professor Carey says one way to improve the situation is provide publicly funded advocates for those identified as being in need at the point of entry.
“If you have someone skilled in navigating the NDIS sitting with you and arguing with you, you’ll do better from the scheme,” she says.
“We have a huge shortage of publicly funded advocates, so it’s likely to follow a socio-economic gradient where if you have money for a private advocate you’ll do better. “
She also says the government must think in terms of engagement with disadvantaged groups rather than just lip service in ongoing reform of the scheme.
“There’s a difference between consultation and saying ‘we hired people from these groups to sit with us’,” she says.
“The government is very good at consultation, they’ve consulted on many parts of the NDIS and even pushed a co-design, but consultation alone doesn’t go far enough.
“They systems we build should reflect the people were building them for.”
Professor Carey says if the issues identified in her study aren’t addressed Australia risks seeing inequality entrenched in one of its biggest social welfare policies.
“We’ll be potentially reproducing and making inequalities worse for particular groups in society who already are disadvantaged and can’t cannot access services, and we’ll widen that gap yet again,” she says.

The tropical hues of sea glass inspire the color palette in this fun, children's bedroom. A monochromatic palette with various saturations of blue-green keep the room sophisticated enough for adult guests.
Colored sea-glass tile backsplash creates a wave-like feel over the cooktop and oven. This kitchen was also upgraded with new stainless steel appliances like a range hood, dual ovens and a mini fridge.
This outdoor living room features neutrals and bright blues in a bold mix of textures. The geometric granite table with sea glass and jewel-toned accents contrasts the wicker chaise with soft upholstery and bold blue accents.
Designer Stefani Stein didn't have to look far to find inspiration for this beautiful bathroom; with white walls and a blue vanity, the space easily takes cues from the ocean. The tile floor even evokes thoughts of sea glass.
A balcony becomes an outdoor living room with a bold mix of texture in neutrals and bright blues. A light wicker chaise with soft upholstery and accents contrasts a geometric granite table with jewel-toned accents and sea glass.
This remarkable spa bathroom has the feel of a luxurious grotto under the sea. Glass bubbles float in the air above the cozy loveseat. Walk forward a few steps and sink into the huge Jacuzzi tub lined with deep blue mosaic tiles.
A beach-inspired take on the classic terrarium, these living centerpieces are a great wedding DIY because they can be made well before the big day. Seashells, sea glass and succulents are just a few of the lovely layers that make up these beauties.
This living area, one of the home's many, boasts the same style of wall used in the spiral staircase — a combination of heavy gray stone and brilliant blue sea glass. The living space also features chic white furnishings, which provide contrast against the warm wood ceiling.
Are your kitchen counters, island and table swimming in a sea of paper? Do the stacks of bills and mail seem to just keep piling up? If you answered yes to both of these questions, then listen up: We have an organization system that's guaranteed to clear the paper clutter for good. A system of cabinets and drawers allow for organizing and keeping papers out of sight.
The master bedroom walls have a faint blue-green color, similar to sea glass, that provides a soothing backdrop for the black and white accents used throughout the space. On the white bed, a pair of green decorative pillows with a geometric pattern pick up the wall color.
Architects elevated the low profile of this ranch home with high, vaulted ceilings and lots of natural light coming in through skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows. In the dining room, the design influence was the nearby Pacific Ocean with blue-green watercolor wallpaper and a sea glass-inspired chandelier.
White two-column balusters guide the wood banister between decorative wood newel posts. Natural light over the pastel sea green walls and white window trim makes for a light space. A subtle stained glass trim on the windows compliments the gorgeous frosted stained glass finish of the singular pendant light hanging above.
An assortment of seashells, sea glass and coral decorates the top of the white dresser. A grasscloth finish on the dresser complements the coastal theme of the accessories. A mirror with a herringbone pattern of inlaid bone reflects the light from a seafoam green lamp with a linen shade, creating soft lighting and tying the decor together.

Casinos have long been synonymous with opulence, daftar situs slot terpercaya modal138 excitement, and the allure of winning big. These establishments, with their flashing lights, melodious jingles, and buzzing atmosphere, serve as hubs of entertainment and intrigue for millions of people worldwide. However, beyond the surface appeal lies a complex world filled with strategy, psychology, and a unique blend of risk and reward. In this article, we delve into the inner workings of casinos, exploring the games, the psychology behind them, and the strategies employed by both players and establishments.
The Games: At the heart of every casino are the games, each designed to captivate players and keep them coming back for more. From the classic allure of roulette to the strategic depth of poker, casinos offer a diverse array of options to suit every taste and skill level.
Slot machines, with their colorful displays and enticing themes, remain a staple of any casino floor. These games of chance rely on luck rather than skill, making them accessible to players of all backgrounds. However, behind their seemingly simple mechanics lies a sophisticated system of algorithms designed to ensure fairness and unpredictability.
Table games, on the other hand, require a combination of skill and strategy. Blackjack, for instance, pits players against the dealer in a battle of wits and intuition. With its relatively low house edge and emphasis on decision-making, blackjack attracts both seasoned veterans and newcomers alike.
Poker stands out as one of the most iconic and complex games found in casinos. Beyond its strategic depth, poker is a game of psychology, requiring players to read their opponents and bluff with finesse. From Texas Hold’em to Omaha, the variants of poker offer endless opportunities for skillful play and thrilling showdowns.
The Psychology: Behind the glittering façade of casinos lies a carefully crafted environment designed to keep players engaged and spending. Everything from the layout of the gaming floor to the complimentary drinks served to patrons is strategically planned to maximize revenue.
One of the most potent psychological tools employed by casinos is the concept of intermittent reinforcement. This principle, rooted in behavioral psychology, refers to the sporadic rewards given to players, which create a sense of anticipation and excitement. Slot machines, in particular, are masters of this technique, offering small payouts at unpredictable intervals to keep players hooked.
Furthermore, casinos employ sensory stimulation to create a multisensory experience that entices players to stay longer and play more. From the ambient lighting to the hypnotic sounds of spinning reels, every element is carefully curated to enhance the gaming experience and foster a sense of immersion.
Strategies: For players looking to maximize their chances of winning, understanding the strategies behind casino games is crucial. While luck plays a significant role, certain techniques can tilt the odds in one’s favor.
In games like blackjack, mastering basic strategy can reduce the house edge to a minimum, giving players a fighting chance against the dealer. Similarly, disciplined bankroll management is essential for preserving capital and avoiding reckless bets that can lead to ruin.
In poker, strategy goes beyond the cards in hand, encompassing psychological tactics such as bluffing, reading tells, and maintaining a stoic demeanor at the table. Developing these skills takes time and practice but can ultimately tip the scales in favor of skilled players.
Conclusion: Casinos are more than just places to gamble; they are vibrant ecosystems where skill, luck, and psychology intersect in fascinating ways. Whether you’re drawn to the thrill of the slots or the strategic depth of poker, there’s something for everyone within these hallowed halls of chance. As you navigate the world of casinos, remember to play responsibly, armed with knowledge and a healthy respect for the games and the risks they entail.

The 53 sacks Alabama recorded in 2015 were the most during Saban’s time with the program, and Lupoi was promoted to co-defensive coordinator for his hand in achieving that.USA Today 2nd-team Texas in 2019.It always helps when you have a 300-pound guy that runs a 4 .Peyton Manning never wanted anybody in motion, so each quarterback is so different what they want the motion for.No one wants that, either.
Then you add the crowd in and that’s what makes the real excitement, the energy and so forth.Brady took advantage of those takeaways in a game that was understandably billed as a rare postseason showdown between the top two passers in league history in terms of yards and touchdowns.It was originally going to be 10 players in 2020 in 2021 and then 14 in 2022 and beyond.I could still do things better.
Come on man, that’s just ridiculous haha.Just my two cents.Take a look at 1 in the below game against Kentucky.has a clock in his head, as do I, and the snap came back way behind him.
I think if you have a great level of commitment and you can actually use great protocols for how to recover, then yes, certainly.The Buccaneers believe they have a potentially outstanding duo of inside linebackers in David and rookie first-round pick Devin White, but they are also happy with the depth at that spot.We strictly use the requested photograph for recognizing who you are at auditions.

Hi, it is the boy from Barrystown, charming, charismatic, erudite, scholarly, expert on all subjects, an intelligence higher than Einstein, historian supreme, a right boyo, blessed among the women, a right boyo, a superb florist, a marathon runner, a trainor of hurling teams, a prize winner at reciting poetry, a visionary¸ one fated to guide and lead; walks and talks with panache and is above all else, the most wily and devious of them all—that wily boy from beside the mine pits.
The Rev. Dr Henry Newland was in 1832 the Rector of Bannow; he had an associated career as a writer, mainly on theological issues but sometimes on political ones. His great adversary in these literary matters was Bishop James Doyle of Kildare and Leighlin. It is difficult to understand the logic and emotions of these long since musty dispositions but I am reading Dr Newland’s writings and, to put it mildly, Tom Boyse would hardly have them in his library! The Established Church or Protestant Church as depicted by the Rev. Newland was the sole depository of Christian truth and the Catholic one was riddled with moral and theological error and beyond redemption.
Dr Newland accused Bishop Doyle of rank cupidity, a craving for material wealth, especially, that held by the Protestant Church. Bishop Doyle had told a House of Commons Committee that in ancient times the tithes were divided into three or maybe four parts; and claimed that early legal texts and canons proved that—although he was slow in citing these sources. Dr Doyle asserted that, at least, one fourth or more likely, one-third of the tithes were in ancient times, given to the poor; another third or fourth was used for the upkeep of Churches and another fourth given to the Bishop. Tithes were initiated by the Catholic Church centuries before the Reformation but after the Reformation the Protestant Church, by reference to enacted civil law, required all inhabitants of a parish¸ regardless of their religious allegiance, to pay the tithes to the Protestant clergy of the parish.
Mrs Merton might ask why would Dr. Newland find the assertions of Dr Doyle about the poor getting one-third of the tithes so abominable. While I think that in matters of quoting precedents, sources and exactitude in quoting ancient history, Dr Newland is clearly superior, I found his overall argumentation repellent: in a country, such as Ireland, teeming with poverty, the legal requirement that one-tenth of the produce of all arable land be paid to the Protestant clergy, by Catholics and Dissenters as well as Protestants, would seem to me the height of cupidity and avarice. Tom Boyse felt out-raged by the tithes. I doubt if the Rev. Newland ever collected much tithes in Bannow. Dr Newland’s insistence on the retention of the tithes indicated an utter lack of political realism on his part.
From The Bannow and District Notes in The People on the 7th of March 1953:–
“Early Primroses—Due to the mild winter primroses are to be seen in bloom in the hedgerows. Both children and grown-ups were busy on Sunday picking bouquets. The furze and thorn bushes are, also, budding into bloom about six weeks earlier than usual.”
From The People, the 19th of July 1907:–
“Big Throngs in Cullenstown
Tremendous crowds invaded Cullenstown on Sunday last. Attracted by the gloriously fine day, visitors came on motors, cycles and cars from all parts and enjoyed the invigorating breezes of the Atlantic till a late hour in the evening. An excellent handball contest took place in the new ball alley, particulars of which appear below, and was keenly watched by a large and excited crowd on the banks, which provide an admirable grand stand for such occasions. It is only fair to remark that the conduct of the crowds was most praiseworthy and not a sign of drink was seen on anybody during the entire day.”
From The People the 25th of July 1959:–
“Plot Presented to Guild
The monthly meeting of the Carrig-on-Bannow Guild of Muintir Na Tire was held on last Monday night. Large numbers of members were present, including Mr Mervyn Boyse, formerly of Bannow House.
The principal reason for Mr Boyse’s presence at the meeting was to present the recently planted plot at Carrig to the Guild.
The Chairman thanked Mr Boyse for his kindness and Mr Boyse, in his reply, wished the Guild every success and hoped the trees would grow well. He said it was a splendid plantation and in a few short years would add very much to the beauty of the village.
The very enthusiastic ladies committee are making preparations for a sale of work and jumble sale.”
From The People the 4th of April 1953:–
“The death of the Very Rev. Francis K. Donnelly, Prior of the Augustinian Community at Grantstown, which took place as he was celebrating Holy Mass, occasioned feelings of deep and widespread sorrow throughout the parish of Bannow. When the sad news reached New Ross, where he had many ties, a universal grief was manifested by all classes and none felt his loss more than the members of the Order of which he was a beloved and distinguished priest. Born at Ballymitty, Co. Wexford, Fr Donnelly came from a family that gave many illustrious sons to the Augustinian Community. He was a kinsman of the Crane family, members of which gave invaluable service to the Church and who hold an honoured place in the traditions of the Augustinian Order.
Like his kinsmen, the late Fr Donnelly showed an early vocation for the Church and studied for the priesthood at Orlagh, where he was ordained about the year 1920. He used to recall that, while a student at Orlagh, the Easter Week Rising of 1916 occurred and that the late Eoin Mac Neill took up temporary residence there. After his ordination, Fr Donnelly was attached to the New Ross Priory, where he spent a couple of years and was then sent to Rome. On his return to Ireland, he was attached as Prior to Grantstown Convent and later appointed to the Community at New Ross. He was again reappointed as Prior at Grantstown and in 1948 returned to New Ross as Prior where he remained in charge until the summer of 1951, when he finally took up duty at Grantstown. At New Ross he took a keen interest in the Arch-Confraternity of the Sacred Cincture of which he was Spiritual Director. He was brother of Rev. Patrick Donnelly, the popular Curate of Courtnacuddy, and is survived by his mother, now in her 93rd year. To them, other relatives and the members of the Augustinian Order, the deepest sympathy is extended in their great sorrow. The attendance at the funeral obsequies on Tuesday was an impressive public testimony of love and respect and of tribute to the memory of Fr Donnelly.”
Fr Patrick Donnelly would, also, die long before his time.
From The Wexford Independent the 10th of August 1853:–
“On the 7th August, the house of Martin Boyse, of Bannowmore, Parish of Bannow, was entered by his servant boy, James Walsh, who stole therefrom ten pounds sterling and decamped.”
From the report of the meeting of the Board of Guardians of Wexford Poor Law Union of Wexford in The People the 13th of January 1892:–
“The Plot at Tullicanna
The following letter was received—“As your plot of land at Tullicanna has not been disposed of, and I understand Mr Roche has withdrawn his claim, I beg to remind you, being the highest bidder, to consider my offer. It was mentioned in some of these former letters which stopped the sale at the time that the right of pre-emption should be given to the parties who sold it to you. I would wish to inform those parties, if the right of pre-emption be given to anyone, it ought in justice to be given to me, as my father owned that before either Mr Roche or the Court of Chancery, for it was on that very spot I was reared and if any man want it worse, or can lay stronger claim to it, I will withdraw altogether; otherwise I hope you will accept my offer.—John Keane”
Chairman—What offer did he make?
Chairman—Are there any claimants for it?
The Clerk said he didn’t know. They got this little piece of land from Mrs Louisa Heaton, as a plot for a labourer’s cottage and paid £20 for it. There was a couple of perches over the quantity allowed with the cottage, and as this was close to the village, it was of some value. The Guardians didn’t want it and would dispose of it.
Chairman—In whose possession is it at the present time?
Clerk—In ours. Chairman—Is there no one making use of it? Clerk—No. the Act of Parliament provides that we must make the first offer to the person from whom we originally bought it.
Mr Walsh—And if she declines to purchase? Clerk—The person whom we bought it from is dead (laughter). Mr Walsh–Does this man make a reasonable offer? Chairman—He must have made an offer. He stated so in his letter. Mr Walsh—I think we ought to give it to him. He appears to have the best claim. Clerk—We could not give it to him without enquiring further.
Ultimately it was decided to refer the matter to the Guardian, Mr Kehoe.”
The People on the 27th of January 1892 reported:–
The Local Government Board wrote relative to the proposed sale of a small plot of land taken by the Guardians in connection with the building of two cottages at Tullicanna, under the Labourers Acts and requested the Board may be informed whether the piece of land in question is in excess of the statuteable quantity allowed for all cottages and mentioned in the arbitrator’s report and, if so, how the Guardians happened to come into possession of it.
The Clerk said the reason of this was that Mrs Heaton would not sell what was required, so that the Guardians were obliged to purchase the whole field.
It was ordered that a reply to this effect be sent to the Local Government Board.”
A discrepancy between the two reports, where the first seems to indicate that a plot for a labourer’s cottage was bought and the assertion in the Local Government that two labourers’ cottages were to be constructed, makes it difficult to determine the size of Mrs Heaton’s field with certainty. The plot for a labourer’s cottage was half a statute acre—so Mrs Heaton’s field was about half an acre plus a couple of perches. Alternatively it could be one acre plus a couple of perches. It is reminder of how small fields were in that era.
A couple of perches would be of little use to Mrs Heaton—hence her determination to sell the tiny field in its entirety.
The People on May 13th 1865 reported that His Lordship, the Most Rev. Thomas Furlong, administered the Sacrament of Confirmation to about two hundred and fifty children of both sexes, together with several adults, in the beautiful and capacious Church of Carrig-on-Bannow. That seems to be an astounding number; perhaps, the Sacrament of Confirmation was not administered on a regular basis; it seems that in an era some of the candidates for receipt of the Sacrament of Confirmation were adults.
From the report of the meeting of the Board of Guardians of Wexford Poor Law Union in The Wexford Independent on the 26th of February 1902:–
“Dr Keogh reported that the house occupied by James White at Barrystown, is unfit for human habitation. The dwelling house has fallen and the man, his wife, and five children are at present living in an out-house which had neither proper chimney, ventilation, nor sufficient accommodation. He recommended that a suitable house be constructed.”
At the same meeting it was reported that:–
“Dr Keogh, Bannow, wrote stating that it was very inconvenient to him to send in the dispensary books. Friday was dispensary day and he would often be detained until 4 o’clock and the books should be posted by 4.30 pm at Carrig. He suggested that a committee of the Guardians should examine the books at the dispensary, and thus save him a good deal of inconvenience and save expenses to the Board, as the posting of the books alone cost £1 4 shillings per annum.
Clerk–The Order in Council obliges the doctor to send in his books here. They cannot be inspected at the dispensary.
Mr Browne—The order in Council might be rescinded. It was the most ridiculous order that ever was made.
Mr Hore—We must comply with it at all events.
Mr Browne—He need not enter the books for the last quarter if has not time.
Mr Hore—He need not.
Mr Murphy—It costs a lot of money to send the books in.
Mr Hore—But the Guardians pay that and not the doctor.”
From The People the 9th of February 1856:–
Near London recently, Mrs Fielding, mother of Mrs S. C. Hall, the authoress.”
From The People the 7th of June 1919:–
“Football Practice—The Bannow Sean M’Dermott’s travelled to Clonmines on Sunday last and played a football practice there with the newly formed football team there. The M’Dermott’s were short of some of their players as they had not recovered from the effects of the athletic contest at Wexford on the previous Thursday but, nevertheless, a team was got together and a rattling game was the outcome on the score of 2 goals, 2 points to one point for the Sean M’Dermott’s.
From The People the 2nd of October 1929:–
“Flukey Sheep and Cattle
Lett’s perfect cure, which cures in half an hour. For sheep, 6 pence; for cattle 1 shilling. You must give age of cattle and say, if any, weak lambs. Supplied here, Tuesdays and Fridays (only), from one to two pm and return post. Postage 2 pence. Box 2 pence on return.
Flukey Sheep and Cattle
There is in Maxwell’s “Statistical Survey of the County Wexford”, published in 1807, this enigmatic and confounding passage:–
“There is an ancient working of a mine to be seen on the banks of the river Bannow near Barrastown and which was renewed about thirty or forty years ago by Mr Ogle, on whose property these workings appeared. It did not turn out to any profit. I have, however, amongst the deads thrown out, found some galena, adhering to quartz and rhomboidal iron-stone and I should apprehend it would be worth while to clear the old works, which could be done at a small expense, and examine the veins, from which these had been broken, with some attention.”
Barrastown was a very old form of the modern Barrystown. Mr Ogle could have renewed the working of the Barrystown mine in circa 1767 or 1777.
From The Bannow and District Notes on the 16th of September 1950—
“Visitors—Mrs Madge Newman, from Longford, who was on a motoring tour of the South of Ireland, paid a visit to her mother, Mrs M. O’Neill, Cullenstown, during the week. Rev. Father Lynn paid a visit to friends in Cullenstown during the week. Father Lynn is a member of the Carmelite Order, New York, flew to Ireland on a two week’s holiday to friends in Enniscorthy. Miss Nancy Holmes is home on a holiday from South Wales.
Recent Death—Mr Walter M’Donald, an old and respected resident, who has lived alone at Tailors’ Lane, Ballyfrory, passed away rather unexpectedly last week-end. He spent much of his earliest days in U. S. A. He was predeceased by his wife over 20 years ago. R. I. P.
Hurling—Following the good example of the cailini of the district in forming a camogie club, the young men are now set on organising a hurling club. Hurleys have been procured and Mr John White, Farm House, has given a field for practice. The parish, around the 18th century, had a great hurling tradition. A field in the locality is known to the present day as the hurling green.”

The best newborn sleep advice I’ve ever received: Part 1
Before my daughter was born, I read a lot of parenting books. I was probably as prepared as a first-time mom could have been. And yet, when that little bundle finally made her appearance, I didn’t feel prepared at all.
During those first few weeks, my husband and I lived in a blur of sleeplessness, confusion, and chaos. She seemed only to sleep if someone was holding her, which meant all of my time was spent trying to do the things I needed to do (like brush my teeth at least once during the day) while holding a sleeping baby.
It wasn’t a good plan. Of course, it got easier as time passed. She learned to sleep in her crib after a few weeks and we all survived, but sleep seemed to be a constant issue for us. Now that Baby Number Two is about to make an appearance, I’ve thought back to that time a lot. I’m determined to do things differently this time and learn from the things that did or didn’t work well for us.
Here are some of the most important lessons I learned and the things I plan to keep in mind as we throw our hats into the ring one more time:
Good sleep habits are learnedDuring a check-up at our pediatrician’s office, our doctor asked me about my daughter’s sleep routine. Sensing my exhaustion and feelings of helplessness after months of nighttime awakenings, he explained something to me that forever changed my outlook on infants and their sleep. He said sleep was a learned behavior, just like walking, talking or anything else that parents teach their children.
Babies come from the womb where they sleep whenever they like. They are cocooned in a space perfectly designed for their comfort. Then they enter our world, and we want them to change how, when and where they sleep, and it’s a tough transition. But, it’s a transition that can be navigated over time. My problem was that I didn’t realize that I needed to be the captain of the ship.
I began to understand that it was my responsibility to determine what good sleep behaviors looked like and teach them to my infant. Rather than feeling helpless and tossed about on the unpredictable seas of life with a newborn, I could look at where we were, where we needed to go and make the changes necessary to get there.
Use the pacifier, but use it wiselyEveryone has a different opinion on this issue, but I’m a big believer in pacifiers. It is important for babies to learn to soothe themselves, and pacifiers are excellent at providing them with the tools to self-soothe. It gives comfort and security, and it can be an invaluable resource in easing a child through all of the transitions that the first year of life brings. Pacifiers can be very helpful in teaching a child how to sleep well, too.
However, my experience taught me that while pacifiers are excellent at calming a child before sleep, providing a predictable bedtime routine, and satisfying their sucking reflex, problems can occur if their sleep is dependent on having a pacifier in their mouth at all times. Each time the pacifier falls out of their mouth, the child wakes up. They can’t put the pacifier back in (and even when they’re old enough to do so, they often can’t find it), so they are dependent on Mommy and Daddy to come in each time to replace it. They get used to the routine of having someone rush to their side every time they make a peep, and then you have a recipe for a child who will seemingly never sleep though the night.
So, how do you overcome this Catch-22? Use the pacifier to help soothe them prior to sleep, but take the pacifier out of their mouths before they actually fall asleep. Over time, they will learn how to fall asleep with it, but stay asleep without the pacifier, which will eliminate the nighttime awakenings when the pacifier falls out of their mouths.
SwaddleThere simply is no better strategy in getting a newborn to sleep than swaddling. I learned this from Dr. Harvey Karp’s book, “The Happiest Baby on the Block,” and I found his advice to be absolutely invaluable. Swaddling provides the comfort and security that newborns need as they make the transition from the womb to the world, and it makes life much easier for Mommy, too. I found the ready-made swaddle blankets (swaddle blankets for dummies, if you will) to be lifesavers.
Here’s the brand that I used and that you can find in your local baby store: Halo SleepSack Swaddle blanket.

The range of Starna reference materials is continually expanding and includes references for ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometry, for fluorescence, NIR and Raman spectroscopy, references for use in plate readers and HPLC instrumentation, and a range of specialised materials for use in bioscience. References are also available in convenient sets for instrument qualification to the requirements of Pharmacopoeias and other regulatory bodies.
The calibration of Starna Certified Reference Materials is traceable to international primary standards, allowing laboratories to demonstrate evidence of quality control according to ISO/IEC 17025, the universally recognised standard for laboratory accreditation. The Starna calibration laboratory was one of the first to be accredited to this standard, in 2001, and in 2006 Starna was further accredited to ISO 17034 (formerly ISO Guide 34) as a Reference Material Producer (RMP).
Other unique benefits of choosing Starna reference materials:
Liquid references, including volatile and flammable materials, are permanently sealed by heat fusion into their cells. This process, developed by Starna, eliminates evaporation, improves stability and makes handling safer.
Starna CRMs are covered by a lifetime guarantee.
References can be re-certified and dispatched within five working days of receipt at the Starna calibration laboratory.
Reference material sets can be customised to user requirements.

Sanjhi Art of paper cutting - "Sanjhi is not an art its a feeling and emotions of Sri Radha which she draws on earthen surface with colors and flowers." Sanjhi painting is a tradition of art that originated out of the cult of Krishna and flourished in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is in Vraja, or Vrindavan, the homeland of Lord Sri Krishna, and this art of Sanjhi painting reached its pinnacle.

Rico Blanco is a Filipino singer, songwriter and musician. As a solo artist and with his former band, Rivermaya, Blanco has so far recorded, written and produced more local and regional number one hits than any other musician since 1994; and has sold over a million albums in the Philippines and Southeast Asia during the period. Rico was one of the founding members of Filipino rock band Rivermaya, in varying roles as vocalist, keyboardist, guitarist, and main songwriter from 1993 to 2007.
In 2003, Blanco was the first solo musician tapped to be a Pepsi ambassador when the brand decided to enlist local endorsers. The success of this bold and unprecedented move started a trend in musicians becoming endorsers for major brands. Blanco also previously endorsed HUMAN, a clothing label where he had his own line of shirts.
In November 2008, just a few months after starting his career as a solo artist, Rico won the Vocalist of the Year award in the NU Rock Awards.
In December 2008, he was heralded RX93.1 OPM Solo Artist of the Year for 2008. He also opened for Myx Mo 2008 and performed "Yugto." Aside from his band, The Mandaluyong Children’s Choir, Manila Symphony Orchestra, Kulintangan musicians (headed by Malou Matute), and various Percussionists (headed by Iggy de Dios), all performed with him. The opening set was touted to be the biggest in the event’s history.
In February 2009, he won as "Best New Artist" in the MYX Music Awards 2009. Then, Blanco was picked by Unilever Philippines to re-write and sing a version of the regional campaign song of Close Up toothpaste, the outcome is a single called "Come Closer".

Paul Shaw has been best-known as a supportive and swinging drummer who adds rhythmic excitement to large ensembles and small combos alike. While his drumming is excellent throughout Moment Of Clarity, his debut recording as a leader, it is also apparent that he is a very skilled composer. Shaw contributed all seven diverse originals for a notable quintet that features trumpeter Alex Sipiagin, guitarist Brad Shepik, pianist Gary Versace, and bassist Drew Gress. His frameworks on the pieces have Sipiagin, Shepik and Versace taking turns as the lead on the ensembles, cover a variety of moods, are filled with creative and concise solos, and showcase an attractive group sound.
The set includes such memorable pieces as the rhythmic “Shapeshifter” (which includes a particularly powerful trumpet solo), a haunting “Song For Everyone,” the catchy theme of “Mary Oliver,” the atmospheric title cut, and a rousing closer in the energetic and joyful “Showdown.” While Sipiagin, Shepik, Versace and Gress have their individual moments to shine, Shaw is content to drive and inspire the lead voices through his inventive compositions, restricting himself to taking a few drum breaks on “Shapeshifter” and “Showdown” along with a short solo on the blues “Peekaboo.”

Kamara has become one of the key players for Rangers this season as Steven Gerrard’s side sit top of the Scottish Premiership. The 25-year-old’s form over the last 12 months has seen him linked with a number of clubs, including Burnley, Newcastle United, Sheffield United and Brighton, per TEAMtalk.
The Finland international has 21 caps for his country and it is reported by TEAMtalk that Rangers officials are ready to fend off the aforementioned interest by offering him a new deal, something the midfielder is said to be keen to agree.
Leeds among wide pool of clubs who want Glen Kamara
Marcelo Bielsa’s side have had an impressive start to the Premier League season and it is now reported that they have watched Kamara closely during his last few performances for the Scottish side. Leeds are said to have joined Everton, Southampton, Monaco, Lille and Borussia Dortmund in scouting the former Arsenal youngster of late.
Bielsa was one of the most active managers in the Premier League last season, spending just under the £100m mark.
What praise has Kamara earned of late and would he be a good fit for Leeds?
Kamara’s form has been splendid of late and he has earned praise of a number of pundits, including Rangers manager Gerrard and former ‘Gers defender Alan Hutton, who said that he is ‘playing at such a high level’ with his recent performances.
The midfielder could be a good fit for Leeds and potentially a key backup for Kalvin Phillips, should the England international need a rest or even leave the club amid interest from Tottenham.

Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has urged members of the Advertisers Association of Nigeria (ADVAN) to support the government’s environmental sustainability programme.
He said they should utilise recyclable materials and ensure that the location or placement of advert billboards and signages conformed to the standard set by the Lagos State Signage and Advertising Agency (LASAA).
The governor, who spoke in Lagos at the weekend at the ADVAN Awards for Marketing Excellence West Africa 2018, said the appeal became imperative because of the danger the usage of non-recyclable materials for adverts of brand projection constituted and the negative approach which cost the government a lot of money to remedy.
Ambode, represented by Information and Strategy Commissioner Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan, stressed the need for ADVAN to abide by the regulatory standards in carrying out its activities.
He said LASAA as the ombudsman was established to regulate the placement or location of advert billboards or signages across the state; hence ADVAN must cooperate with it in ensuring the sanitisation of the environment.
“While it is a fact that the advertising industry has a role to play in facilitating economic growth, we cannot overlook the fact that the state of the economy has its impact on the industry and indeed other sectors of the economy.
“Therefore, as the government is working hard to build an enabling environment for the business and investment to thrive, ADVAN must synergise with the government by upholding high professional standards and ethics of the profession,” the governor added.
He hailed the leadership and members of the association for remaining true to the ideals of its founding fathers by sustaining the legacy of recognising innovative and effective contributions of stakeholders in the growth and development of marketing as a tool of economic development and growth.

Bed Bath & Beyond, facing a late-summer crisis as sales fell and suppliers revolted, insisted its white-collar workers return to the office four days a week.
According to six former managers and employees who attended the meeting, Interim Chief Executive Officer Sue Gove told employees at the company’s headquarters in Union, New Jersey, that Face Time would help them quickly address growing problems facing the retailer.
To the staff, however, it felt like just another example of how executives were framed in small things as a chain leading to bankruptcy. Most of the employees had returned to office three days earlier in the week. One employee spoke up and said that one extra day would not turn around the struggling company. According to former managers and employees, many in the room nodded or applauded.
When other well-known stores have run into trouble in recent years, the Internet has often taken the blame. But Bed Bath & Beyond’s case is more complicated. While the chain was hurt by online rivals such as Amazon.com Inc., its undoing is also a tale of how the decision to rip it up and start again can leave a company in tatters.
Layoffs, management changes, boardroom shake-ups, stock buybacks and strategic overhauls are maneuvers for the modern business, and Bed Bath & Beyond tried them all. At nearly every recent juncture, the company has taken steps that have driven it deeper into the financial quagmire.
A few weeks after ordering his return to office, Gove said the company would lay off about a fifth of its corporate and supply-chain workforce and close 150 of its roughly 770 Bed Bath & Beyond brand stores in the US. The retailer had secured new funding, Gove said, and was starting a turnaround plan to prepare for the holiday shopping season.
The relief did not last. Bed Bath & Beyond has indicated that it is preparing for a possible bankruptcy filing. It has defaulted on payments to banks and bondholders, and former employees say they have not been paid. If the company reorganizes in bankruptcy by closing more stores, it could emerge as a smaller version of its former self. However, Bed Bath & Beyond’s financial situation is so dire that it’s even possible the retailer could sell off its assets and cease operating, Bloomberg News previously reported.
In a surprise move, and in a last-ditch effort to avoid that fate, Bed Bath & Beyond said Monday evening that it would issue securities to raise more than $1 billion. The retailer said it plans to use the proceeds to repay missed payments to banks and bondholders and to stock its empty store shelves with products. But the crisis-hit company warned that it would not be able to raise the amount it had planned. Even if it does, suppliers are likely to be wary about shipping their products. Meanwhile, many shoppers have already turned their backs on the brand after years of decline.
A Bed Bath & Beyond spokeswoman did not respond to requests for comment on this article.
At its peak in 2017, Bed Bath & Beyond had 1,560 stores with 65,000 employees, generating $12.3 billion in revenue. But in the nine months to November 2022, it posted sales of just $4.2 billion, and its workforce dwindled to less than 30,000.
Shares of Bed Bath & Beyond closed up 92% on Monday at $5.86. Riding a wave of enthusiasm among so-called meme-stock investors, the stock has more than quadrupled in value over the past month.
Warren Eisenberg and Leonard Feinstein founded Bed Bath & Beyond in 1971. As it grew, the company abandoned retail stereotypes, giving managers wide discretion in stocking shelves rather than relying on mandates from headquarters. It carries most cans, stacking can openers, coffee pots and bathmats almost to the ceiling in its stores.
“Everything we did was for the customer,” Arthur Stark, Bed Bath & Beyond’s longtime president who left in 2018, said in an interview. “If it meant carrying a lot of inventory into the store, that was okay. If customers made the commitment to come to our store, we would have it in stock.
Bed Bath & Beyond also pleased shareholders. Under longtime CEO Steve Temeris, it poured billions into repurchasing stock, and acquired Christmas Tree Shops, Cost Plus World Market and BuyBuy Baby, which were founded by Feinstein’s sons.
Still, company executives had one blind spot: the Web. As Amazon.com and other online shopping sites appeared on the horizon, Bed Bath & Beyond executives prioritized their brick-and-mortar business. Eventually, it caught up with them.
Stark, who joined Bed Bath & Beyond in 2017, said same-store sales, a closely watched retail metric, doesn’t include new or recently closed stores. The company should have focused more on online retail.
Of course, we could have done better. “There’s no question.”
According to Stark, the company’s success made it reluctant to change. It had been profitable over the years and went from strength to strength, expanding into the US and Canada.
“We were faced with the challenge of maintaining our stores, maintaining our profitability, and investing in technology and digital,” he said in the interview. Stark, 67, now serves on the senior advisory boards of Jefferies Group and Vintage Investment Partners.
Bed Bath & Beyond should have considered going private, Stark said, investing in e-commerce at the temporary cost of profits. The management had considered suggestions to take the company private during his tenure, he said.
As executives struggled to invest for the long term amid short-term market pressures, one of the most famous discountings in US retail history was compounding the tensions. Bed Bath & Beyond’s 20%-off coupons, sent to millions of homes over the years, attracted shoppers and boosted sales. But they also reduced profits.
“Like any form of publicity, it becomes a drug,” Stark said. Over the years, attempts to pull back on the mailings or reduce the discount failed. “Once you get used to it and your customer gets used to it, it’s a very difficult thing to wean them off.”
In early 2019, activist investors began agitating for change. Ancora Advisors, Mayselm Capital Management and Legion Partners Asset Management wanted Tamares gone. All three urged asset sales, more investment in private-label brands and online commerce, and more buybacks.
Making their case in a 168-page document, the investors noted that the first time Bed Bath & Beyond executives said the word “Amazon” on a conference call on Dec. 21, 2016, was a sign that they were looking for “industry change.” were not hugging.” ,
Within months, Temaraes dropped out.
“We’ve always been well aware of our competitors, respected them and studied what they did so we could do better,” Tamares wrote in a statement in response to questions from Bloomberg.
“I could not be more proud of the colleagues I have worked with, the quality of people they are and the dedication they have demonstrated,” he said. “That was then. Ultimately, as we see again and again, arrogance and ineptitude are fatal.”
In October 2019 the board named former Target executive Mark Tritton CEO, with four new members elected as part of a settlement with the workers. Discount huge.
Triton and his team, which included former senior executives from TrueValue, Walgreens and Macy’s, acted quickly to address the declining profitability and revenue he inherited. They wanted a third of Bed Bath & Beyond products to be private-label, up from 10%, within three years.
Triton also said it planned to get rid of underperforming labels and double down on well-known brands like KitchenAid and Oxo. But that effort faltered as major brands faced post-pandemic supply chain problems and the company’s worsening cash crunch left it unable to pay for premium products, according to former managers.
According to some former managers and employees, before Bed Bath & Beyond’s finances collapsed, Triton and his team showcased their new private-label goods in redesigned stores and downsized national brands.
In a presentation to investors a year after taking the reins, Triton compared its reform to remodeling a house. “Our home is dear to many, but a home that relies on positive memories of the past cannot weather any storm,” he said.
In the first five months of 2021, Triton is focused on introducing six new private-label product lines — ambitious by retail standards. The degree of difficulty was exacerbated by the effort of designing, ordering and manufacturing thousands of new items, as the pandemic caused a decline in production and shipments from China. Once the private-label brands hit stores, most were new to shoppers and didn’t resonate with them.
Triton also promised to use more cash to buy back stock. In October 2020, he and his team pledged to repurchase $675 million in shares over three years. By November 2021, the amount had increased and the deadline had accelerated: they would complete the $1 billion share buyback within about a year. At the time, the retailer had approximately $600 million in cash.
Some analysts thought that was aggressive. Executives appeared highly optimistic that the affiliate would bear strong spending by consumers in 2020 and 2021. Dennis Cantalupo, CEO of credit-rating and consulting firm Pulse Ratings, said the company could have survived at least six months if it had not repurchased shares.
“Instead of taking that money and putting it in the bank and assuming that the tailwinds were going to subside or normalize for the industry, they launched a buyback campaign,” Cantalupo said.
Fitch Ratings analysts David Silverman and Monica Agarwal wrote in an email: “Given the simultaneous sharp decline in the company’s topline and cash flows and the company’s need to invest faster in its business, the timing and magnitude of the buyback stand out.” Came.”
Triton’s private-label push defeats the purpose of some activist shareholders, according to people familiar with his thinking.
However, some former Bed Bath & Beyond executives say the pandemic and supply-chain problems have made it nearly impossible for Triton to turn around the ailing company.
In March 2022, Triton and his team welcomed employees to the company’s renovated headquarters for the first time since the start of the pandemic. The theme was “Together, Happier” for a marketing campaign launched in 2021 called “Home, Happier”.
As part of the comeback, employees participated in activities including a scavenger hunt. One of the clues led to a new mural from Bed Bath & Beyond’s history titled “Our Big Moments (So Far),” according to a photo seen by Bloomberg News. The chronology included its founding, its 1992 public listing, and its 2007 purchase of BuyByBaby.
While the timeline noted Triton’s appointment in 2019, it did not include the names of the founders or their predecessors. This struck a chord with many former managers and employees, who said it showed a disregard for the company’s history and what made it unique.
The retailer grew weaker as the years went on. Triton was ousted in June. In the three months ended August 27, sales fell 28% from the previous year. Inventory became increasingly sparse as many suppliers worried about payment, halted or restricted shipments.
This means several shoppers have left the store empty-handed, including former Bed Bath & Beyond President Stark.
About a year ago, he said, he went with his son and son’s fiancee to a store in East Hanover, New Jersey, to shop for wedding registry gifts. The couple wanted Vamsutta bed sheets, which were once a staple at the retailer. He had no luck.
“He said, ‘Let’s go to Bloomingdale’s,'” Stark said.

NASA has its sights set on the moon, and the agency has selected the first batch of commercial project proposals it will include on its journey back to our nearest neighbor, and then on to Mars.
The selected companies will be revealed Thursday (Nov. 29) during a news conference held at NASA's headquarters in Washington, D.C. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine will lead the news conference. The event will begin at 2 p.m. EST (1900 GMT); you can watch it live on Space.com, courtesy of NASA TV, or directly at the agency's website.
"Working with U.S. companies is the next step to achieving long-term scientific study and human exploration of the Moon and Mars," NASA officials wrote in a media alert.
Bridenstine will be joined by representatives of the companies whose projects have been selected, as well as by Thomas Zurbuchen, who leads NASA's Science Mission Directorate; astronaut Stan Love; Andrea Mosie, Apollo sample-laboratory manager; and Barbara Cohen, a scientist who works with NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission.
NASA's current plans aim to have humans orbiting the moon again by 2023 and landing later in the decade, but the agency has always expected to precede crewed flights with robotic lander missions.
Incorporating U.S. companies is a key principle of NASA's plan to extend human space exploration first to the moon and then to Mars. Private partners will help keep costs as low as possible. (International partnerships are also in the forecast, for much the same reason.)

Red Hot Chili Peppers – One Hot Minute
Red Hot Chili Peppers – One Hot Minute (1995)
When I squint my eyes and peer into the recesses of my memory, the first thing I can remember of the Red Hot Chili Peppers is the music video for "Aeroplane". I must've seen it at a friend's house because I didn't have cable TV at home. I remember someone explaining that the choir at the end of the song was the class of one of the bandmember's kids singing and how once the band had performed wearing nothing but socks on their penises. They were rockers alright, lofty and divorced from humanity, made all the more so by the perceived reality of a ten-year-old watching MTV, and by the actual reality of the music industry dynamics of 1995. You were a star or you were nothing. Red Hot Chili Peppers were stars.
The first album of theirs I owned was Californication which I'm pretty sure I bought largely to serve as a conversation piece among my middle-school peers. I don't think I actually liked the album that much. The title track in particular declined in my favor as it became incessantly overplayed everywhere in the late 90s. Nevertheless, something drove me to continue buying their albums, and by mid-high school I'd added By the Way and One Hot Minute to my collection. Curiously, I can't remember precisely when I acquired Blood Sugar Sex Magik, whether it was before, between or after the aforementioned two. That its memory is fuzzier may be no coincidence. I was a mild-mannered kid and I've grown into a mild-mannered adult; BSSM was frankly just way too full of sex and testosterone to resonate. I was drawn more naturally to the contemplative pop of By the Way and the moody, heavy distance of One Hot Minute. The latter in particular became a key staple in the soundtrack of early independent driving after getting my license.
I don't think I was fully aware at the time of the album's historical context and implications. That "moody, heavy distance" was the result of several notable factors during its conception and recording: Lead singer and lyricist Anthony Kiedis had rebounded with substance use after several years of sobriety, and the band was still trying to find its groove following the departure of guitarist John Frusciante. To replace that void they'd enlisted Dave Navarro of Jane's Addiction, whose tattooed, shirtless aesthetic belied the bumpy musical chemistry between him and the rest of the band. The guitars on One Hot Minute have a decidedly more hard-rock, "15 year-old discovering wah pedal" vibe than their prior funkier sound. Fans' disappointment at the time is understandable. Critical response was tepid.
That's the "glass half empty" perspective. Viewed differently – and, particularly, viewed now, with the benefit of hindsight ("we know the Chilis gon' be aight") and our knowledge of the material they've been putting out for the last 15 years – the album earmarks an interesting point in their history and, context aside, perhaps contains music objectively worth listening to. Within the first four tracks we're treated to two catchy hits ("Aeroplane" and "My Friends") and two pummeling assaults of distortion-forward rock ("Warped" and "Deep Kick") which capture the contemporary existential torments of the band in earnest. The album reaches its high point, however, with the trio of "Walkabout", "Tearjerker" and the title track. "Walkabout" is one of my permanent go-to summertime jams – lyrically, undeniably a bit cheesy, but who's looking for thought provocation when it's 90 out (and, if your car is anything like mine was in high school, the A/C is broken)? "Tearjerker" is an exercise in the band's more soft-spoken, introspective side first explored in "Under the Bridge". And fittingly so – it's a tribute to Kurt Cobain. "One Hot Minute" is probably the best sampling of the band's new, harder sound that characterizes the album, even if at six and a half minutes it drags on a bit longer than it should. The album closes with "Transcending", an involved tempo-changer blending hard-edged guitar psychedelia with a more moderate sound that portends their poppier material to come.
It's a little bit funny to look back on the Chili Peppers' 90s – in a decade they helped so much to shape, they released Blood Sugar Sex Magik, this album, and Californication. By the time the third rolled around their imprint on that decade had already been effectively cemented. That leaves the former two, of which One Hot Minute would seem to be a clear outlier in their career and, as some would say, a "dud". Maybe everyone just loves a good story: after the album, Frusciante came back, Navarro got the boot, and the band began to settle into something resembling stability. I think there's some great music to be found on this album, regardless what stadiums of millennials singing along to "Dani California" might say. I recommend it be played with the windows rolled down.


On Tuesday night, the final spot on the Red Sox's 40-man roster was filled, but not by veteran right-handed pitcher Lucas Giolito. Before his deal was finalized, Boston picked up Max Castillo, another right-hander, off waivers from the Kansas City Royals.
The Sox had to make another move to create space for Giolito, and they designated Mauricio Llovera for assignment on Wednesday afternoon.
Boston acquired Llovera in a trade with San Francisco in July of the 2023 season — the Red Sox sent right-handed pitching prospect Marques Johnson to the Giants in the exchange. Llovera made 25 appearances for the Sox in his three months with the team and he threw 29.2 innings out of the bullpen. He registered a 5.46 ERA and closed 12 games for the Sox.
Llovera has routinely performed his best in the minor leagues, but he was a consistent middle reliever for San Francisco. In his two seasons with the Giants — 17 appearances in 2022 and five in 2023 — Llovera clocked a 3.74 ERA and recorded 25 strikeouts in 21.2 innings pitched.
After Boston signed Castillo on Tuesday night, another roster move was imminent to secure Giolito's spot on the 40-man. And with the Sox's rotation and bullpen both up in the air, more changes could be coming. Closer Kenley Jansen is also reportedly on the trade block for the Red Sox, despite his All-Star selection in 2023. He's owed $16 million in 2024, and after some out-of-character performances last season, trading him could free up some much-needed cash for other roster improvements.
Giolito is the newest starter on Boston's roster. The 29-year-old veteran is coming off a down year in his career. He played for three teams last season -- the White Sox, Angels and Guardians -- and he finished the year with a 4.88 ERA. The Red Sox signed him to a two-year, $38.5 million contract with a player option for 2025.
His presence does improve the rotation, however, and it appears the addition of Castillo helped the team absorb the departure of Llovera in the bullpen.

Speaking to reporters upon his arrival in Tehran on Friday after attending the 74th annual session of the UN General Assembly meeting, President Rouhani said his speech to the assembly and his meetings with the world leaders helped counter a smear campaign that sought to accuse Iran of launching attacks on Saudi Aramco’s oil installations.
The president said he has challenged the assertions of Europeans who have blamed Tehran for the Yemeni drone attacks on Saudi targets, saying the European leaders have failed to provide any evidence for their anti-Iran claims.
The European leaders have been warned that making unfounded accusations would result in chaos and fan the flames of regional conflicts, Rouhani added, saying he has called on the accusers to send their evidence, if any, to Tehran.
The Iranian president also noted that all of the 15 world leaders with whom he held meetings on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York have condemned the US withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the US sanctions on Iran.
On September 14, the Yemeni forces launched drone attacks on two plants at the heart of Saudi Arabia's oil industry, including the world's biggest petroleum processing facility.
The US has accused Iran of involvement in the attack, alleging that a number of cruise missiles have been fired from Iran at the Saudi targets. Iran vehemently denies the claim.

On Taxes and the Grand Obstructionist Party
So how 'bout them republicans??? Rave for years and years about reducing taxes, and now we do it, and all they want to do is complain! It isn't enough - - - - it isn't what we wanted - - - - it isn't fair - - blah, blah. blah, blah, blah!!! So what do they want? Do away with all taxes? So who pays for schools, police, fire protection, highway construction, court system, etc., etc.? Do they want to eliminate taxes entirely? How do they expect to pay for public services, and who will pay? Do they expect that free will donations and charitable contributions will do the trick? Yeah, right! If that worked, then Catholic charities, the Salvation Army and United Way would pay for all our public services and we wouldn't need any publicly funded social services - - - - as if!!! Keep dreaming, Josh Tardy and crew! Here we have a tax bill that reduces income taxes for 90% or so for all Mainers, the total tax bill for more than 80% of all Mainers, and shifts some of the tax burden to tourists and visitors "from away", and they want to throw the whole deal out??? Get real!!! All they want to do is whine and complain that this is not the package that they wanted. So what would they change? When they had control they couldn't get it done so now they complain that we Dems did - - sounds like sour grapes to me.

The gates to the Great Smoky Mountains National park will reopen for five days beginning Wednesday.
Tennessee and North Carolina will be footing part of the bill.
Like other national parks, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park has been closed because of the partial federal government shutdown.
Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam said the state has sent more than $300,000 to the National Park Service to open the park.
North Carolina's governor said his state will contribute $75,000 to keep the park open Wednesday through Sunday.
The National Park Service says the park costs a little more than $60,000 a day to operate.
