The Red Sox were one out away from securing a three-game sweep over the Angels at Fenway Park on Sunday, but fell short of doing so in heart-breaking fashion.
With two outs and the bases empty in the top of the ninth inning, Sox closer Matt Barnes got a struggling Mike Trout to hit a pop fly to right field for what looked to be the final out of the game.
Rather than fall into a Red Sox fielder’s glove, though, the 75.9 mph bloop found a patch of grass and landed between right fielder Marwin Gonzalez, center fielder Hunter Renfroe, and second baseman Michael Chavis, all of whom were playing Trout in a shift.
Representing the tying run in a 5-4 game, Trout’s single brought Shohei Ohtani to the plate, who proceeded to wrap a go-ahead, two-run home run around Pesky’s Pole in right field to give the Angels a 6-5 lead.
Barnes was charged with his first blown save of the season as the Red Sox would go on to fall to 25-17 on the year overall and 13-12 at home.
Plawecki, Devers lead comeback
Well before a drama-filled ninth inning, the Sox found themselves in a four-run hole early on against Los Angeles.
Matched up against veteran left-hander Jose Quintana, the bottom third of Boston’s lineup provided the first offensive jolt of the day when Jonathan Arauz drove in Marwin Gonzalez from second on an RBI double — and his first hit of the season — in the bottom of the third.
Fast forward to the fifth, and the bottom of the order took charge once more, this time with Kevin Plawecki clubbing his first home run of the season 389 feet over the Green Monster to cut the Halos’ lead to two runs.
Arauz and leadoff man Michael Chavis both singled with one out in between a pitching change that saw righy Aaron Slegers take over for Quintana, which set up Rafael Devers in a prime scoring spot.
On the fourth pitch he saw from Slegers — an 0-2, 93 mph fastball — Devers crushed it 400 feet to right field for his 11th big fly of the season. The three-run blast, which had an exit velocity of over 104 mph, put the Sox ahead by a run at 5-4.
Eovaldi allows four runs over five innings, Martinez notches outfield assist
The reason the Red Sox were trailing by four runs as early as they were was due in part to the struggles Nathan Eovaldi endured in his second inning of work Sunday.
After retiring the side rather easily in the first, the veteran right-hander plunked the first hitter he faced in the second in Anthony Rendon. That would prove to be costly for Eovaldi, as he wound up surrendering four runs on four hits and a walk in the frame.
Despite the early troubles, however, Eovaldi was able to settle in to the point where he sat down eight of the final 11 Angels he faced.
He did give up a two-out double to Jared Walsh in his final inning of work that very well could have scored Ohtani all the way from first, but J.D. Martinez prevented that from happening when he threw a dart from left field and Kevin Plawecki snuffed out the two-way phenom at home plate.
Finishing with a final pitch count of 87 (63 strikes), Eovaldi turned to his four-seam fastball 51% of the time he was on the mound Sunday, inducing four swings-and-misses and topping out at 99.3 mph with the pitch.
Hit with the no-decision while raising his ERA on the season to 4.50, the 31-year-old’s next start should come against the Phillies on Saturday.
Red Sox bullpen takes over
In relief of Eovaldi, Phillips Valdez got the first call out of the Red Sox bullpen in the sixth inning. The right-hander tossed a scoreless frame, while left-hander Josh Taylor got the call for the seventh and put away the only three hitters he faced in order.
From there, Adam Ottavino issued a one-out single and walk in the top of the eighth before recording the second out and making way for Barnes.
Barnes escaped the inning and stranded both runners he inherited by getting Jose Iglesias to line out to right field. He then gave up that two-run homer to Ohtani in the ninth.
Next up: Off day, then six-game road trip
The Red Sox will enjoy an off day on Monday and head down to Dunedin, Fla. to open up a three-game series against the 22-17 Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez is slated to get the start for Boston, and fellow southpaw Hyun-Jin Ryu will do the same for Toronto.
First pitch Tuesday is scheduled for 7:37 p.m. eastern time on NESN.

Introduced in January 1984, Apple’s Macintosh changed everything – but the world of personal computing was nearly a decade old, and Apple was already successful with its Apple II line. These articles look at Apple before the advent of the Mac, as well as the broader world of personal computing.
Prior to the September 1986 introduction of the Apple IIGS, every Apple II computer ran an 8-bit 1 MHz 6502 processor, used 5-1/4″ floppy disks, had a very limited color palette, and sound was nothing to write home about. The Apple IIGS changed all of that.
The Apple II family was known for its expansion options – eight slots for adding capabilities. Inevitably one held a floppy controller, typically one held a parallel printer card, and another might have a serial card for a modem or printer. Some bought Microsoft’s Z-80 SoftCard to run CP/M. But for most users, most slots remained empty.
The Apple II and II Plus had been a runaway success for Apple, establishing it in the home, the school, and, thanks to VisiCalc, the workplace. Even though that was true, these models had some shortcomings that were addressed when the Apple IIe was introduced in January 1983.
Although the Apple 1, introduced in April 1976, had been a big success among the hobbyist crowd, people who didn’t mind assembling their own computer and designing a case for it, it was not part of the ready-to-go personal computer revolution of the late 1970s. That’s where the Apple II comes in.
Apple has a very impressive track record. It is the only personal computer company to have survived from the early days of 8-bit computing while once mighty Commodore, Radio Shack, and Atari no longer exist or long ago stopped making personal computers.
The first computer worthy of the name “computer” was produced more than 60 years ago. It was a monstrous machine, covering more than 136 square meters and used 18,000 vacuum tubes (the predecessors to the transistor). It was capable of computing the sum of 5,000 numbers ten digits in length per second. It’s name was ENIAC, […]
In 1992, Apple decided that the education and design markets weren’t enough – it wanted to target mass market consumers. Rather than develop new computers for this market, Apple created a new brand and renamed three existing Macs as Performas.
I recently installed every version of Apple’s operating system that is compatible with the 1999 Blue & White G3 Power Mac – 11 major Mac operating systems: 8.5, 8.6, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and Mac OS X Server 1.2.
As documented by Charlie Springer on his web page, the Macintosh SE in a clear plastic casing is a very rare find. Only a small number (reportedly 20) of the transparent cases were made from the SE case molds before they were textured – and only 10 of these were built into working computers.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, computing made a great leap forward with the advent of 16-bit microcomputers like the Macintosh, Commodore Amiga, and Atari ST. The Apple II, introduced in 1978, was a phenomenally successful platform, eventually coming to possess a 20% share of the personal computer market in the US. But by […]
As a computer manufacturer, Apple gets a strangely distorted press. Its position as the only serious commercial competitor to Microsoft guarantees that every move the company makes is documented – and often distorted.
The Apple III was meant to be Apple’s bold entry into the business market; it ended as Apple’s first commercial failure and put the company into financial uncertainty. It was also responsible for sprouting both the Lisa and Macintosh projects, efforts that would save Apple.
Realizing that the Apple II would not sustain Apple forever, the Sara project began. The main idea of Sara was to create a more powerful and capable Apple II. It would include 128 KB of RAM, an integrated floppy drive, and a high resolution display – 80 columns wide instead of the Apple II’s 40.
If you think the original Macintosh was an impressive piece of design and engineering, you may find Apple’s Lisa even more innovative.
For most Mac users, Apple’s Lisa isn’t even a footnote in Mac history. The $10,000 computer is rarely remembered as the Mac’s mother – and those who do remember it also tend to recall how Apple dumped thousands upon thousands of unsold Lisas in a Utah landfill when the computer was discontinued.
I ran across images of some Apple prototypes created during the early years of Macintosh design – things like a cube-shaped Mac, a MacBook notebook, and a table-like device among them.
2014 – If you were on the Mac Web in July 2007, you probably saw Fudder’s article, The Very First iPhone – or at least stories about the article or links to it. The mock-up (below) was created by Frog Design, built by Hertmut Esslinger, and bears more than a passing resemblance to the Apple IIc.
Apple made the biggest change in Macintosh history with the introduction of the Macintosh II and SE in 1987.
With the Motorola 680×0 architecture running out of steam and Motorola’s 88000 making haste slowly, Apple had to look a bit further afield for its next processor architecture. Here’s how IBM’s RISC project became the heart of the Mac.
John Sculley, who had once been hailed as Apple’s savior for huge sales increases and good PR (like Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, and Steve Jobs rolled in one) had presided over the splintering of the product line and a sharp decline in market share. The same trends continued after Sculley was forced out, and the […]
2005.11.15 From the day of his appointment as Apple CEO in February 1996, Gil Amelio presided over an ailing company. After the near-disastrous reign of Michael Spindler, Amelio promised to change the corporate ethos of Apple.
HyperCard changed the way people on the Macintosh platform created programs. Furthermore, it changed the way they worked -and, for some, the way they learned.
We all know about the early IBM PC clones, such as Compaqs and Dells. And some of us know about the Macintosh clones. But there were clones before the IBM PC existed – Apple II clones!
eWorld was Apple’s short-lived group of online services. Launched in June 1994, eWorld was an intuitive, easy-to-use, and heavily GUI-dependent new way to take advantage of the Internet. It included its own email service, bulletin board system (BBS), and more.
Apple Corps was founded as a tax haven for the Beatles’ considerable cash reserves in January 1968. Apple Corps would finance a record label and other pet projects of the band members while also providing a “front” for their financial activities to reduce personal liability and taxes.
Apple had transformed from a small three man venture in the late 1970s into a huge, multinational corporation in the late 1980s. With these changes came troubles.
The first Apple proposal to move the Macintosh to Intel hardware did not begin with Mac OS X. It began in 1985, shortly after Steve Jobs’ departure from Apple. The project was quickly nixed by Apple’s management, but it would be revived several years later in a joint effort by Novell and Apple to port the […]
On January 24, 1984, Apple announced the Macintosh to its Board of Directors and to the world – and the computer world has never been the same.
Over the summer of 1997, Apple brought the era of authorized Macintosh clones to an end to keep Apple solvent.*

Condé Nast, the company that publishes Vogue, has filed a lawsuit against the rappers Drake and 21 Savage for allegedly exploiting the Vogue moniker without authorization to promote their new album, Her Loss.
With the “love and support” of the magazine’s longtime editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, Condé Nast claimed that the musicians’ promotional campaign, which included reaching out to their more than 135 million social media followers, was “entirely” based on the unauthorized use of Vogue trademarks and false claims that they would appear on the magazine’s upcoming cover.
“All of this is false. And none of it has been authorised by Conde Nast” stated a complaint filed Monday night in a Manhattan federal court. In addition, according to Condé Nast, the defendants produced a fake issue of Vogue that was distributed in key cities along with posters that copied the magazine’s design.
It said that as a result, there was “unmistakable” misunderstanding among the general public, particularly in the media, who had previously hailed Drake and 21 Savage as “new cover stars” of Vogue. On Tuesday, Larry Stein, an attorney for the defendants, declined to comment right away because he had not yet read the complaint.
Condé Nast, also known as Advance Magazine Publishers Inc., is suing the defendants for at least $4 million (£3.5 million), or triple the amount of money they made from the defendants’ record and “counterfeit” magazine. In addition, it demands a halt to all trademark infringement and punitive damages.

Today is Mother’s Day here in the US so I decided to create a flower for my Mother to honor her. The background was made from dylusions paints and stencils.
Here are some fun festive paint brushes for the holidays. I’m not sure how small the images on the brushes are on your screen. There is a little bird on the middle brush dragging ornaments across so he can decorate the Christmas tree on the right. He is asking Santa, “Is it too late to negociate?” I couldn’t help it. I love the new Dylusions holiday coloring pages! Happy Creating!
Dede Willingham is such a talented artist. Each week she does a Youtube video called “Coffee and Art in the Morning.” I was watching one of her Youtube videos called “Making a Magazine Art Journal” and was amazed how she turned an ordinary magazine page into a work of art. I wanted to give it a try. I think I need to keep working at it some more. Happy Creating!!
Happy Halloween everyone!! I have had another opportunity to be a guest designer for Ranger Ink. I used many Ranger Ink and Dylusions products. You can see the project stepped out here or you can go to Ranger Ink’s website then click on Projects at the top. There are many wonderful projects there by some talented people. The above picture is the foldable closed.
The foldable opened up.
The foldable with all the inserts open. You can see how the foldable opens at the end of my project on Ranger Ink’s website. Have a great day!!
It feels so good to finish something. I created a haunted house photo album for my nieces. I wanted them to have a place to put their Halloween pictures. One niece is dressing up as Supergirl and the other is going to be a Policewoman. I like the colors for this project. I would have never thought yo use purple for Halloween.
There are so many projects that I have started but not finished. I created tags for Tim Holtz’s Creative Chrmistry 101 and 103. His 101 and 102 classes are now in binders. I was out of town during his 102 class. It feels so good to finish some thing!
Do you have any unfinished projects that you haven’t finished?
Organizing a craft room can be so challenging. In the last 5 years I have bought so many art supplies and thought, “Someday I will make a project with this new purchase.” Then 5 years have passed and I can barely walk in the room. All the hopeful future projects are now unrealized dreams.
Julie Balzer created a few posts called “Organization Week.” You can find the posts here. The first step is to go through everything in your room and “Throw It Away or Donate It.” She talks about throwing things away so that you can use your craft room to make crafts and feel the creative juices flowing instead of your craft room being used for storage. It is so hard to get rid of all those unmade dream projects. Every piece of paper I see I just remember the project that just didn’t get made. Time is in such short supply.
I find it amazing how too much stuff is so creatively crippling.
So, I decided that I wanted to create an inviting, creative space that is beautiful as well. In my search to find beautiful things for my room I was also shocked to find how many decorative pieces for rooms have very little storage capability.
For example, I bought these gorgeous stucco doors that I would love to put in my craft room but they would take up an entire wall.
So the craft room organization project will be continued…

Physical size is one thing, but Apple is frequently criticized for its Retina display resolution, which now seems low-rent compared to the competition. According to iPhone 6 rumors like this one posted to YouTube, the resolution may be tripled this time around.
Dimensions and shape are also frequent subjects of speculation. Aloysius Low writes in this post on iPhone 6 rumors for CNET that the new Apple smartphone will feature a flat display, with rounded edges. Other iPhone 6 rumors sites have the device getting even thinner than the iPhone 5s, despite the bigger display.
iPhone 6 Rumors: Release Date
The million dollar question is: “When can I actually buy Apple’s new phablet smartphone?”
There was significant uncertainty even a few months ago, based on speculation like this iPhone 6 rumors video that suggested production delays in the larger model might push release dates for at least one iPhone 6 version into the late fall.
However, there’s now a reasonably high degree of confidence among iPhone 6 rumors trackers that the release date will be early in September, in keeping with Apple’s iPhone release pattern.
iPhone 6 Rumors: Roundup
While we’ll have to wait until September (at least, if the iPhone 6 rumors about the release date are to be believed) to find out how much of this is real and how much is conjecture or wishful thinking, here’s a quick recap of what to expect from Apple’s latest flagship smartphone:
- Two models, including a 4.7-inch and a 5.5-inch phablet
- Higher resolution display
- Sapphire glass
- A8 processor
- 10 MP camera, possibly with optical image stabilization
- Thinner than the iPhone 5s with rounded glass edges
- iPhone rumors say a release date of early September
- $199 on contract for smaller version, $299 on contract for iPhone 6 phablet
Which will turn out to be true? Stay tuned for a likely September Apple event where at least some of these iPhone 6 rumors will be confirmed.
As of this writing, Robert Martin did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Two unlikely friends stumble upon a secret portal one day after high school. The result is an enlightening lesson in reality in Katie Li’s debut novel.
This space opera is full of personal complexity and impossible to summarize narrative.
As a piece of hard science fiction with a difficult plot, The Three-Body Problem might not work as well for American audiences.
Dense and complicated, The Goblin Emperor also makes for engaging read.

Baby shark do do do do do…. I can’t even think about baby shark without getting that song stuck in my head! Baby shark cakes are still a very requested birthday cake theme for me to make right now. And they’re actually not too hard to make. So whether you are a cake decorator or a mom wanting to DIY it at home, you should be able to make your own baby shark cake after reading the tutorial in this post!
What you’ll need.
- A frosted cake.
- Fondant in blue, white, black, red and any other color of your choice.
- Circle cookie cutter.
- A #5 piping tip.
- A piping coupler.
- An X-Acto knife or other sharp small knife.
- A 1M piping tip.
- Triangle fondant cutter.
- Shell fondant mold.
Making baby shark.
First, you’ll want to cut out all of your fondant shapes and pieces. Cut out a blue circle for baby shark’s face and triangles for his fins. You’ll also need a white circle the same size as the circle for his face, cut in half. Using your xacto knife cut out his mouth and teeth. You will need a red rectangle to place under this piece of fondant to show through.
Using the bigger end of your piping tip, cut out black circles for his eyes. Using the small end of your piping tip, cut out 2 small circles to also use for his eyes. I like to use my piping coupler to cut out the whites of my character’s eyes. They are just a tad bit bigger than the piping tips, so I think they make good white’s of the eyes.
Putting baby shark together.
Now that you have all of your fondant pieces cut out, it’s time to put baby shark together! Use a paintbrush and a small amount of water to stick the fondant pieces together. I love using my watercolor paint brush for this. After you get him all put together, store him in a closed Ziploc bag. This will let your fondant dry, while still keeping it soft so you can attach him flat to the side of your cake.
Making the other cake details.
I decided to decorate my baby shark cake with other fondant details. I used my seashell molds to make the shells and just cut strips of green fondant and twisted them for the pieces of seaweed. I simply used a cookie cutter for the three on top and used royal icing to write happy birthday.
Putting the cake all together.
When you’re baby shark has finished drying you can attach him to your cake. To do so, lightly brush the backside of him with sugar glue and gently press him onto the side of your cake. You may also want to gently rub your finger around him making sure all parts are attached to the cake. It’s no fun to have your fondant decoration fall off 10 minutes later. I made a buttercream shell border around my cake with my 1M piping tip, and then I randomly attached my other fondant pieces on the cake. I also used the #5 piping tip to add some bubbles.
And that was it! The baby shark cake was complete and ready to make a special birthday boy super happy!
More baby shark cake inspiration.
Here are a couple of other baby shark cakes I have made in the past that might also inspire you.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Feb. 8, the Department of Commerce announced the exports of US farm and food products totaled $177 billion, an increase of 18% from 2020. According to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, this is the highest annual export level ever recorded, far surpassing the previous record in 2014 by 14.6%.
“These record-breaking trade numbers demonstrate that US agriculture is incredibly resilient as it continues to provide high-quality, cost-competitive farm and food products to customers around the globe and that the Biden-Harris Administration’s agenda is working for American farmers and producers,” Vilsack said. “This is a major boost for the economy as a whole, and particularly for our rural communities, with agricultural exports stimulating local economic activity, helping maintain our competitive edge globally, supporting producers’ bottom lines, and supporting more than 1.3 million jobs on the farm and in related industries such as food processing and transportation.”
All top 10 export markets for the United States witnessed increases in 2021 and set new records, including from China, Mexico, Canada, South Korea, the Philippines, Colombia and others. Exports of US soybeans, corn, beef, pork, dairy, distillers, grains and pet food also saw all-time highs. The US’s top export destination continues to be China at $33 billion, a 25% increase from 2020, with Mexico in second place at $25.5 billion, a 39% increase from 2020, surpassing Canada.
According to the Department of Commerce, dog and cat food exports for 2021 set a record at $2.05 billion, which increased by 19.8% from 2020.
“It’s clear that our international trading partners are responding favorably to a return to certainty from the United States,” Vilsack said. “We owe our thanks to America’s agricultural producers who always work hard to be reliable global suppliers and the Biden-Harris Administration, and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) are fighting hard on their behalf to keep our home-grown products moving around the world.
“We’re strengthening relationships with our trading partners and holding those partners accountable for their commitments,” he continued. “We’re addressing transportation and infrastructure challenges through the work of the administration’s supply chain task force and calling out ocean carriers that are putting profits above their responsibility to serve both importers and exporters. And we’re expanding opportunities for agricultural exports by knocking down trade barriers and partnering with industry on marketing and promotion efforts worldwide.”

These days we hear the term “centre of excellence” (COE) more and more often. COE’s are defined simply as a team, facility or organization that provides leadership, best practices, research, education, and training in a specific speciality. To be named a COE, it means not only to provide quality care, but deliver truly exceptional work – setting the bar for others in the field.
This leads us to Oak Valley Health’s Alongside Midwifery Unit (AMU) at Markham Stouffville Hospital, an area that has always been at the top of their game, demonstrated through their expertise and dedication to patients and families. A first of its kind in Canada, the AMU has led the way in providing access to parents choosing to have a midwife for their childbirth experience in a hospital setting.
Since opening in 2018, the program has continuously gone above and beyond in leading clinical practice and standardization. They have built on existing strengths and brought together unparalleled talent and expertise to build new collaboration, within Oak Valley Health’s walls and beyond.
The organization is proud to officially announce the Alongside Midwifery Unit as a Centre of Excellence. Oak Valley Health’s Alongside Midwifery Unit Centre of Excellence, at Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH).
“This is an extraordinary achievement for our health network and for our patients and families, and reflects the bold steps Oak Valley Health will continue to take to shape the future of care for York Region and beyond,” says Jo-anne Marr, President and CEO of Oak Valley Health.
The design of a Centre of Excellence affords many advantages for both health care providers, as they continue learning and growing, and the community we serve, with the ultimate goal of providing the best possible outcomes for our patients.
“The units expertise paired with its ongoing commitment to education, I believe we’ve always been a centre of excellence,” says Silva Nercessian, Director, Alongside Midwifery Unit, and Childbirth & Children’s Services, Oak Valley Health. “It’s very exciting to see all of our hard work being recognized.”
Care Beyond Our Walls
Midwives have been successfully integrated into the childbirth care team at MSH since 1994 and work collaboratively to deliver optimal services to patients in our community. In the coming years, the AMU will support over 1,000 more deliveries by allowing midwives to care for a greater number of expectant families in the region. In 2021/22 the AMU had 656 admissions over the course of the year, a number that is continuously growing. Of the births in 2021/22, 80% were discharged within six hours with access to a system of care in the comfort of their home.
The high-level care that patients receive at the AMU doesn’t end after the baby is born. A hospitalist midwife is on the AMU at all times and is available for early labour assessments, telephone advice, and assisting in patient care. A community midwife supports during active labour, birth and postpartum, including until six weeks after childbirth.
What This Means For You, Our Patients and Community
Patients planning to give birth in a midwife-led birthing unit use less pain relief medication, are more likely to have a spontaneous vaginal birth with less intervention, and experience higher rates of satisfaction with their birthing experience.
As a patient of the centre of excellence, you can expect:
- Access to specialists
- An extraordinary patient experience
- Coordinated care
- Focused expertise
Oak Valley Health has also created Postpartum Village, an online ‘village’ of services for all new parents and their baby, staffed by caregivers specializing in postpartum care including breastfeeding, newborn care, and mental health.
“Our team has worked tirelessly since the beginning to build a true network of care for every midwifery patient who comes through our doors,” says Silva. “We’re proud to continue offering seamless midwifery services, close to home.”
The AMU receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from past patients – a survey is given to patients while on the unit, asking questions such as if you become pregnant again, would you give birth on the AMU at MSH? Not surprisingly, 100 per cent said yes. Also,100 per cent of participants said they were very satisfied with their overall experience on the AMU.
“This is a true testament to the entire team,” says Silva. “We strive to create a comfortable and relaxing environment, and the feedback demonstrates we are doing this.”

Guillaume Dominguez, edited by Thibault Nadal
Victorious for the 14th time at Roland-Garros on Sunday, Rafael Nadal returned to his island of Mallorca on Monday evening. But as usual, the Spaniard did not organize any celebration or ceremony. Now the 36-year-old will rest and begin treatment for his foot in order to compete at Wimbledon.
The return of the king to his lands. Two days after his victory on Sunday in the Roland Garros final, Rafael Nadal returned to his villa in Porto-Cristo, on the island of Majorca, late at night from Monday to Tuesday. But as usual, the man with 14 titles at Roland-Garros has decided not to organize a party or a ceremony. An attitude that the inhabitants of the island understand very well, who believe that it is part of the personality of their champion. “We’re used to it. When he comes here, it’s to disconnect. He feels very good there, because he goes unnoticed, especially in Manacor. People love him here, but don’t want to disturb him”, testifies Gabriel at the microphone of Europe 1.
Will Nadal play at Wimbledon?
A habit that characterizes the relationship between Rafael Nadal and the Mallorcans. Another Manacor resident explains that this situation has been the same since the start of the Spaniard’s career. “I remember when he won his first Roland-Garros everyone had to have a big party when he came back. He just had a meal with his father, his mother, his sister and his wife”, says Juan .
According to his entourage, Rafael Nadal will now focus on his training and on this medical care, three weeks before the start of Wimbledon.


Yesterday evening the doors of de Brakke Grond opened to an enthusiastic crowd of visitors and festival participants. NEU NOW has begun with a screening of the film programme at 18h30 to a full house.
The four films shown, 32 Boulevard de Magenta, My Good Fortune in Auschwitz, Vibration of the Thirteen, and I’m a miner, who is more, were tackling different issues but had a high level of professionalism in common.
Nadege Abadie’s film 32 Boulevard de Magenta was close to the field of photography. The technique employing long photographic stills was as unusual as the main character, an 80-year-old owner of a hairdressing salon in Paris with strong convictions about everything and everbody.
Reber Dosky’s film, My Good Fortune in Auschwitz, looked at the experience of an Auschwitz survivor. The Kurdish director had befriended Hajo Meyer at a conference for refugees several years back, and the close relationship they share transpires in the wonderful dialogue and close-ups on Hajo’s face as he talks about friendship as one of the elements which keep people human in situations of extreme hardship.
Kacper Nurzyński came to NEU NOW with his film Vibration of the Thirteen. Situated somewhere between the tragic and comical aspects of life, the film brings us face-to-face with a protagonist describing a number of accidents from her life as paranormal phenomena. The truth of her assertions is never questioned by the film, but left up to the audience.
I’m a miner, who is more was one of the favourites of the audience, with most questions asked during the discussion with the film directors which followed the screening. The Slovak director, Roman Fabian, achieved the feat of a wonderful medium-length film despite casting unexperienced actors from two villages in his native region. The film focuses on an 18-year-old youth, Palko, in the midst of his transition from childhood to adulthood, and the few prospects he has of working in any field other than the mining industry if staying in his natiove region. The conflict with his father, who feels hurt about his son not wanting to take up the job both father and grandfather had embraced for decades, and Palko’s confusion with respect to his future alternate with moments of serenity, where the young man enjoys a dolce far niente in the beautiful countryside with his girlfriend, or drinks and parties together with carefree friends.
In case you’ve missed the films, you can see them again on Wednesday 26 June at 15h00 in de Brakke Grond!

The project involved creating a clean and responsive space for an architectural studio and concept store in the premises of a former bakery. The essence of the project was to create a work environ- ment that aligns with the office’s profile while preserving the character of the place. The studio is located in the small town of Ålesund in central Norway, which influences the office’s functioning, as it actively participates in the local community. The architects, focused on improving the quality of life in the immediate surroundings, work locally with a keen awareness of the global challenges that manifest themselves in the Norwegian nature better than anywhere else. The open-door policy of the studio is a key aspect of its daily life.
One of the main design challenges was to redesign the interior of an early 20th-century building characterized by Scandinavian Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) style. The key issue was to address the diverse structural and finishing elements, such as beams, chimney cores, floors, ceilings, and walls, through their modern reinterpretation. It was also essential to reflect the office’s philosophy, which emphasizes attention to detail and the use of materials from the circular economy.
The central element of the interior became the restored chimney, brought back to its original ap- pearance and surrounded by stones made from production waste. A concrete floor was applied to unify the space and give it a minimalist character, while the original sculptural elements of the walls and Art Nouveau-style window frames embody the spirit of maximalism. The project also incorpo- rated the use of recycled materials, such as refurbished vintage chairs, exhibition lighting, acous- tic panels made from cellulose, shelves made from production waste, and vintage USM furniture. Additionally, the original windows and doors were restored to preserve their authentic character.
This project allowed for the creation of a clean and responsive space that reflects the office’s phi- losophy while respecting the history and character of the location. Through the use of materials from the circular economy and attention to detail, the project achieved a harmony between a mini- malist approach and the sculptural nature of Art Nouveau style.

Recently, I'm reading a lot of business books and this one came up on my queue and I've decided to give it a shot.
Here is the book description, extracted from Amazon:
"The measure of the executive, Peter F. Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done." This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive. Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that mold them into results.
Drucker identifies five practices essential to business effectiveness that can, and must, be learned:
Choosing what to contribute to the organization
Knowing where and how to mobilize strength for best effect
Setting the right priorities
Knitting all of them together with effective decision-making
Ranging widely through the annals of business and government, Peter F. Drucker demonstrates the distinctive skill of the executive and offers fresh insights into old and seemingly obvious business situations."

Bluff Edge, Whidbey Island
by Luci Shaw, in Accompanied by Angels, 2006
This is the rock-rim edge of the known world.
This is the ragged planet where Christ landed,
and we are his people, craggy and knotted and burled,
and aching and lonely. Restless. Stranded.
These firs could well have framed his wooden manger
and his cross; I never encounter Advent without
Dark Friday. The days in the life of this stranger
were flecked with God-graces, threaded with human doubt.
Battered by storms of loss in her loving and grieving,
all her life Mary lived on the cliff-edge of cruel foresight.
Clinging, she rode the gusts and the glory, heaving
still with the donkey rhythm, dazzled with western light.
A tribute to our Naivasha Rift Valley Escarpment walking path, our own personal bluff edge of the rock-rimmed world, our reminder of the western light and the subtle glory of God.
And like Mary, we feel the rocking, shaking, unsettling donkey-rhythm of change. In 3 days we'll be on the airplane heading to the US for a month of Christmas, family, meetings with Serge, a couple of supporter events. Tomorrow a moving truck arrives to load up all our Kenya life and re-stack it in a borrowed half of a container, for a few months as we focus back in Bundibugyo. Today we're in the throes of the final cabinets of odds and ends and food and pieces and no more trunk space and time ticking down.
Though we love the feeling of associating "Christmas" and "home", Jesus' spent his Christmas in a shelter for animals, then in Egypt in exile, then in Galilee, then on the road to the cross. So we are praying to embrace the edginess of this ragged planet as we embark upon journey again this season, shaken into chaos but never alone.

Local Government NSW calls for action from state on cost shifting
The body representing local government across the state says cost shifting cost councils $520m in 2011-12.
President of Local Government New South Wales, Keith Rhoades, says it is disappointing services previously provided by state and federal governments are increasingly being shifted onto councils.
Mr Rhoades says the Independent Local Government Review Panel's report into the future of councils cannot sit on shelf until the next state election in March 2015.
He says cost shifting must end, or local councils will continue to suffer.
"A further $521m has come out of the pockets of rate payers to cover these services," he said.
"We've got a renewal backlog in local government in New South Wales of some $7.4b, an increase by approximately half a billion dollars per year.
"So here is yet another year where local government is out of pocket."
Mr Rhoades says the state government will consider the organisation's position when it responds to the Independent Local Government Review Panel's report.
He says he is feeling positive after meeting with the Minister for Local Government, Don Page, this week.
What you take for granted in a metropolitan area, take health services - your doctor dental care, a lot of the far western councils they have to provide accommodation, and in some cases facilities for the doctors to practice from with no redress from state government whatsoever.Local Government NSW President, Keith Rhoades
"And I urged him to move forward immediately with those recommendations and one of those is to relook at the way we collect our rates from rate-pegging, to rate exemptions on certain properties, where some properties working a commercial venture are not paying rates at all," he said.
"Hopefully the government will move forward with this review as soon as possible."
Mr Rhoades says cost-shifting paints a sad picture for remote councils.
"What you take for granted in a metropolitan area, take health services - your doctor dental care, a lot of the far western councils they have to provide accommodation, and in some cases facilities for the doctors to practice from with no redress from state government whatsoever," he said.
Meanwhile, the Goldenfields Water County Council is doubtful a proposed merger with Riverina Water will go ahead.
The Independent Local Government Review Panel's report into the future of New South Wales councils has suggested the two groups amalgamate.
Goldenfields General Manager, Andrew Grant, believes the Panel's suggested reforms will have little overall impact on water providers.
"Last year we had a turn around of $3.4m. We went from a loss the year before, to making $2.6m. We've kicked all the goals and proved the business case for our model, there's not much more we can do.Goldenfields Water County Council General Manager, Andrew Grant
Mr Grant says the group is outperforming its state counterparts and it should stay independent.
"I don't believe that's going to happen at this stage and I've got some reassurance from some of the general purpose councils," he said.
"Because the end of the day they're the people we provide water for, and they seem to be indicating they're happy with Goldenfields.
"We should stay a separate entity, I see that as being the most likely outcome."
Mr Grant says Goldenfields has proved its business case for water county councils.
"Last year we had a turn around of $3.4m," he said.
"We went from a loss the year before, to making $2.6m.
"We've taken $70m off the cost of replacing the rural pipeline, by the way we change all our techniques and plant machinery.
"We've kicked all the goals and proved the business case for our model, there's not much more we can do."

This is not your typical "Star Wars" movie. I would say this is a war film inside of the Star Wars universe. It's dark, gritty, and violent. But "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" shattered all of my expectations as cheaply done spinoff film. The action is phenomenal while still maintaining a heart felt story. While it isn't perfect, this film holds up among the other films and really offers a fresh taste of originality to the Star Wars filmography (I'm talking about you, "Force Awakens"). But this is a film that will be talked about for a while and it sets a very high standard for other Star Wars spin off films.
The biggest complaint I have about Rogue One is the lack of character backstory and development for the ensemble of characters. The only characters I felt attached to were Jyn and Cassious. Donnie Yen's force monk character was awesome but we barely knew about him. The pilot was a bit wacky at times and his actions seemed confusing at certain points. Saw Guerrera (Forrest Whittaker) was very underwhelming from how the trailers depicted him. This is a similar issue another ensemble film, the abomination known as Suicide Squad, struggled with but I believe this film handled it better... the characters were all still likeable.
Another issue I had was how rushed the first act felt. At one point the film travels to 4 different planets and cities within a 5 or 7 minute span. I felt confused at certain points as to where the characters were and why. The time could've been better used learning more about the ensemble characters rather than on Saw Guerera. I feel that his character was simply thrown in to give Clone Wars fans a little hoot but it just felt forced.
Also the clear homages to other Star Wars films were present but besides Guerrera's character, they felt delightful and seamless. My favorite little flashback to the other films had to be Darth Vader. Every scene he's in is fantastic and while he's used only sparingly, he's used effectively. I'm going to simply call it "the scene" with Vader and it will blow your mind as a Star Wars fan or casual viewer alike.
As for the new characters, I absolutely loved Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) and her nemesis Orson Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn). They're both layered characters that I really enjoyed seeing progress throughout the plot. Also to my complete surprise, the CGI robot known as K2-S0 nearly stole the show away from our main characters. He was everything Jar Jar should've been... a comedic relief that actually contributes to the story. K2-S0 is one of my favorite Star Wars characters now, that's how flipping awesome he was.
Overall I think this movie separates itself from the past 7 films but in a very satisfying way. In my opinion I actually think this is a slightly better film than the force awakens and what gives it the edge is it's originality. It's not a perfect movie but it is one hell of a ride.
Must See For Any Star Wars Fan


A vehicle's actual application conditions, such as startup, idle park, low speed or high speed driving, speed increase, speed decrease, climbing, and reversing are extremely complex. They require the vehicle's driving force and speed to change within a large range. The range of output torque and speed change produced by the piston engines that are widely adopted at present is smaller. In order to adapt to the constantly changing driving conditions and to enable the engine to work under favorable conditions (higher power with lower fuel consumption), a gearbox is added into the transmission system. The automobile gearbox is one of the highest-tech products among the components for a vehicle. One of its more crucial aspects is online testing, which aims to simulate the car's actual operating conditions while on the production line to test for transmission related indicators.
At present, the automotive transmission detection scheme primarily comprises using a generator analog engine and generator analog load methods to achieve the online testing functions. The specific procedures are as follows: Use two AC motors to simulate vehicle conditions and detect the transmission's integrated indicators online. During each stage of the shift change process, the load capacity can be used to instantly monitor the system's operating parameters and plot out the system performance curve. The robotic arm automatically completes the different gear shift actions for different types of transmissions. Control the software's system operating parameters and record them immediately, provide real-time monitoring for temperature, speed, torque, and current, and provide automatic alarm and analyses when fails are encountered. The core of the control department is the computers. The control software is used to control the system's process, task allocation, instruction transmission, fault detections, etc., according to the field data and current operating conditions.
The automobile transmission detection system requirements are:
- The machine will remain in a long-term vibrating state because of the engine running tests. Therefore, the computer must have an excellent shock resistance platform.
- High I/O expansion flexibility.
- Must be able to achieve instant control of the temperature, rotation speed, torque, noise, speed, and other status parameters.
- The system must be able to adapt to the plant's stringent requirements such as vibration, oil, dust, and continuous production.
The system adopts Advantech's rugged 7-slot modular industrial computer MIC-3111. Its MIC-3716 high-speed multifunction data acquisition card, 16-bit high-resolution, and 250 Ks/S ultra-high sampling rate can fully capture the transmission's operating parameters. Data such as temperature, rotation speed, torque, and noise are instantly displayed by the FPM-2150 industrial-grade touch screen display in the control room. In addition, MIC-3716 can be used to output the control parameters and achieve the gearbox loading, shift, and other operations. Meanwhile, the WebAccess configuration software can perform data logging and real-time monitoring on the operations of the entire test system, and can perform automatic alarm and analyses when faults are encountered.


Asus has unveiled a new addition to its GTX 1060 series family of graphics cards called the GTX 1060 6GB Strix (STRIX-GTX1060-DC2O6G), which should not to be confused with the ROG Strix GTX 1060 6GB (STRIX-GTX1060-O6G-GAMING). One distinct feature of the Asus GTX 1060 6GB Strix graphics card is its cooling technology: DirectCU II.
That’s right folks, Asus has decided to fit the GTX 1060 6GB Strix with its classic DirectCU II cooling technology along with the iconic ‘owl eye’ cooler shroud. As a result, Asus’ latest GTX 1060 graphics card features a PCB that is slightly shorter compared to the ROG Strix GTX 1060, which uses the company’s newer DirectCU III cooling technology.
When it comes to performance, the Asus GTX 1060 6GB Strix comes with base and boost GPU clock speeds of 1595MHz and 1811MHz respectively (OC Mode). Unsurprisingly, the clock speeds on this graphics card is significantly lower compared to the ROG Strix GTX 1060. That aside, power is fed to the graphics card through a single 6-pin power connector.
Connectivity-wise, the Asus GTX 1060 6GB Strix is equipped with three DisplayPort 1.4 ports as well as one HDMI 2.0b and DVI ports each. Unfortunately, the price and date of availability of this graphics card was not mentioned by Asus, but we do expect the company to be announcing these details soon.
