Thirteen days have passed, and Innsbruck still amazes me. I have fallen into a rhythm now, and it almost feels perfectly natural that I am temporarily living in Innsbruck. This past week has been a really busy one. I spend my first weekend in Innsbruck, and I’m so glad I decided to stay and explore more of the beautiful city. My first stop was the Hofburg Imperial Palace right outside of Alstadt, or Old Town. It was really beautiful, and most of the original furniture from when the palace was redecorated in the 18th and 19th century was still there, but unfortunately I wasn’t allowed to take pictures.
My next stop was the Hofkirche, or Court Church. Inside is Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I’s large and intricate cenotaph, considered to be one of the greatest cenotaphs in Europe. My mom and I had looked everywhere for this monument when we were here two years ago, and we never found it. I’m not sure why, because the Hofkirche is in plain sight right next to the palace. The church was definitely worth the two-year wait, and it made finally seeing it even sweeter.
For lunch I met up with one of my friends at a more traditional Austrian restaurant. I ordered Käsespätzle, and of course I absolutely butchered the pronunciation. It is loosely like macaroni and cheese, but it is doughier and thicker, and there are crunchy fried onions on top. It was absolutely delicious.
The next day I decided to walk aimlessly around Innsbruck and see where I ended up. I eventually found myself in the more residential area of the city. All of the houses were absolutely adorable. They all had beautiful gardens and little flower boxes on their windows. I came across a church called St. Nikolauskirche. I couldn’t go in, but it had the cutest and most scenic cemetery I have ever seen. I am a sucker for European cemeteries.
After a while I came across a palace called Schloss Büchsenhausen. I’m not sure what its history is or what it’s used for now, but it had a pretty bold façade. It’s located on the side of a mountain, and the view of the city below is incredible. Being a Florida girl, I don’t think I would ever get used to the scenery if I lived here.
Last Tuesday I went to King Ludwig’s castle Neuschwanstein with my Fairy Tales class. This was my third time visiting the castle, but I was still so excited to see it again. At this point it almost felt like coming home. If only. It was pouring rain and freezing the whole time we were there, so it made the experience slightly less enjoyable, but it didn’t detract from the magnificence of the inside. The castle’s interior is decorated with paintings depicting scenes from Richard Wagner’s stories, which we had learned about in class. It was interesting to view the murals and actually know what they were portraying. When I had visited the castle the previous two times, they were all just meaningless scenes to me.
I have fallen so in love with this city and its culture that I don’t know how I will ever be able to leave. I am so excited to see what the next week will bring. I can already tell that I have changed and grown so much thanks to all of the amazing experiences I’ve had so far. I have always heard people tell stories about how they came back from their study abroad adventures completely altered in their characters, but I never knew how true it really was until now.

TUCSON – A U.S. Border Patrol agent was sentenced Tuesday morning for starting the Sawmill fire on state lands back in April 2017.
Dennis Dickey appeared in federal court where he was sentenced to pay $100,000 up front following $500 every month for the next 20 years.
Dickey said the fire started at his baby’s gender reveal party. A gender reveal party is a new trend where parent’s reveal the sex of their baby. News 4 Tucson spoke with Dickey’s attorney Sean Chapman after sentencing.
“He was shooting at a target which exploded. It was really hot outside,” Chapman said. “Immediately, it turned into a fire which led into the Sawmill fire.”
That fire burned nearly 47,000 acres in the Sawmill Fire.
“There was $8 million in damage but the government correctly recognized that they could never collect that amount of money from him. So they agreed to a settlement where he would pay what is a substantial amount for him over the next 20 years, $200,000,” Chapman said. “As long as his financial circumstances don’t change for the better, that’s going to be his obligation.”
In federal court Tuesday, he apologized for starting the fire.
“He just feels awful for what he did. He accepted responsibility immediately,” Chapman said. “He called 9-11 and wants to do anything he can to pay back for some of the loss that he’s created.”
Dickey will be on probation for the next five years and has to help the government advocate on fire safety.
“He is going to make a public service announcement for the federal government,” Chapman said. “Basically encouraging people to be careful with campfires and that type of thing. So that they don’t start wildfires in the future.”
Chapman said Dickey is expected to keep his job as a Border Patrol agent but may face disciplinary action. Dickey declined to give an on-camera interview or make a statement.

A 30-year-old blogger and photographer has been sentenced to death in Iran for “insulting the prophet of Islam” on Facebook, drawing renewed attention to the country’s notorious human rights record. The man, Soheil Arabi, was convicted in a Tehran criminal court in August after admitting to posting the defamatory content. His lawyers argued that he had done so while “in poor psychological condition,” according to the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, and that he was merely sharing views held by others. But Iran’s Supreme Court upheld the conviction late last month and went a step further by adding a charge of “sowing corruption of Earth.” This charge is also punishable by death and cannot be pardoned, according to Arabi’s lawyer.
Human Rights Watch this week called on the Iranian government to halt Arabi’s death sentence, but government officials have shown no sign of leniency. “Currently, there is no pardon, and he’s been convicted of ‘corruption on Earth,'” Gholam Ali Mohseni Ejei, deputy head of Iran’s judiciary, told reporters Monday. “But there has been a request for his case to be reviewed again.”
Iran has long taken a hard stance on online dissent, and appears to have stepped up its efforts in recent months. According to Reporters Without Borders, at least 65 activists, journalists, and bloggers were currently in prison because of their online activities as of July. In May, seven people were arrested for dancing to the Pharrell Williams song “Happy” and publishing the video online. They were given a suspended sentence of one year in jail and 91 lashes, on the basis that the video violated Iran’s Islamic laws. In July, eight Iranians were arrested and sentenced to a combined 127 years in jail on charges of colluding against the state and spreading propaganda on Facebook.

- An ATR- and Cdc7-Dependent DNA Damage Checkpoint that Inhibits Initiation of DNA Replication
Molecular Cell, Volume 11, Issue 1, 1 January 2003, Pages 203-213
Vincenzo Costanzo, David Shechter, Patrick J Lupardus, Karlene A Cimprich, Max Gottesman and Jean Gautier
SummaryWe have analyzed how single-strand DNA gaps affect DNA replication in Xenopus egg extracts. DNA lesions generated by etoposide, a DNA topoisomerase II inhibitor, or by exonuclease treatment activate a DNA damage checkpoint that blocks initiation of plasmid and chromosomal DNA replication. The checkpoint is abrogated by caffeine and requires ATR, but not ATM, protein kinase. The block to DNA synthesis is due to inhibition of Cdc7/Dbf4 protein kinase activity and the subsequent failure of Cdc45 to bind to chromatin. The checkpoint does not require pre-RC assembly but requires loading of the single-strand binding protein, RPA, on chromatin. This is the biochemical demonstration of a DNA damage checkpoint that targets Cdc7/Dbf4 protein kinase.

- Oocytes Progress beyond Prophase in the Presence of DNA Damage
Current Biology, Volume 22, Issue 11, 5 June 2012, Pages 989-994
Petros Marangos and John Carroll
SummaryIn the female germline, DNA damage has the potential to induce infertility and even to lead to genetic abnormalities that may be propagated to the resulting embryo [1, 2,1, 2]. The protracted arrest in meiotic prophase makes oocytes particularly susceptible to the accumulation of environmental insults, including DNA damage. Despite this significant potential to harm reproductive capacity, surprisingly little is known about the DNA damage response in oocytes. We show that double-strand breaks in meiotically competent G2/prophase-arrested mouse oocytes do not prevent entry into M phase, unless levels of damage are severe. This lack of an efficient DNA damage checkpoint is because oocytes fail to effectively activate the master regulator of the DNA damage response pathway, ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated) kinase. In addition, instead of inhibiting cyclin B-CDK1 through destruction of Cdc25A phosphatase, oocytes utilize an inhibitory phosphorylation of Cdc25B. We conclude that oocytes are the only nontransformed cells that fail to launch a robust G2 phase DNA damage checkpoint and that this renders them sensitive to genomic instability.

- BCR/ABL translocates to the nucleus and disrupts an ATR-dependent intra-S phase checkpoint
Cancer Cell, Volume 5, Issue 3, 1 March 2004, Pages 275-285
Jamil Dierov, Raia Dierova and Martin Carroll
SummaryChronic myelogeneous leukemia (CML) is a two-stage disease associated with expression of the BCR/ABL tyrosine kinase protein. However, whether BCR/ABL expression directly causes blast crisis, and if so by what mechanism, is unknown. We have found that BCR/ABL translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus after genotoxic stress. Furthermore, BCR/ABL increases DNA double-strand damage after etoposide treatment and leads to a defect in an intra-S phase checkpoint, causing a radioresistant DNA synthesis (RDS) phenotype. In the nucleus, BCR/ABL associates with the ataxia-telangiectasia and rad 3-related protein (ATR) and disrupts ATR-dependent signal transduction. Overexpression of ATR in a BCR/ABL-expressing cell line corrects the DNA damage phenotype. These results demonstrate a nuclear role for BCR/ABL in altering the cellular response to DNA damage.

- Increasing evidence indicates that neurodegeneration involves the activation of the cell cycle machinery in postmitotic neurons. However, the purpose of these cell cycle-associated events in neuronal apoptosis remains unknown. Here we tested the hypothesis that cell cycle activation is a critical component of the DNA damage response in postmitotic neurons. Different genotoxic compounds (etoposide, methotrexate, and homocysteine) induced apoptosis accompanied by cell cycle reentry of terminally differentiated cortical neurons. In contrast, apoptosis initiated by stimuli that do not target DNA (staurosporine and colchicine) did not initiate cell cycle activation. Suppression of the function of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a proximal component of DNA damage-induced cell cycle checkpoint pathways, attenuated both apoptosis and cell cycle reentry triggered by DNA damage but did not change the fate of neurons exposed to staurosporine and colchicine. Our data suggest that cell cycle activation is a critical element of the DNA damage response of postmitotic neurons leading to apoptosis.

As an experienced DIY’er, I am much aware of the waste my sudden impulses of “let’s paint that wall bright pink” lead to. Most of the times half or at least a substantial part of the paint is left over when the wall is painted. What to do? Usually I save the paint for some time, until it has dried up and I end up throwing it away.
Keith Harrison was faced with the same problem, only he’s a chemist and started experiementing with what to do with the waste paint. He has now developed a process that turns waste emulsion paints back into commercial paints – I think that’s great news! His company Newlife Paints was established in 2008. From the company website:
“Recent estimates have concluded that some 14% (or over 50 million litres) of paint sold last year is unused or stored in our garages, sheds and cupboards. A very substantial amount of this unused paint ends up either in landfill or incinerated.”
Source photo: http://newlifepaints.com/
The interesting part of working with leftover paint is that you’re also stuck with the colours people have chosen in the first place. According to the Newlife Paint website, their current assortment consists of 23 colours, “ which reflects the range of colours discarded as waste in the UK”. Curious which these colours are?

No time to waste…
A new report that sets out how Newcastle could become a world leader in waste reduction was unveiled today (Thurs Feb 1).
The 50-page publication entitled No Time to Waste is packed with ideas and actions to dramatically cut the amount of waste we produce.
The city collects 142,000 tonnes of it every year – that’s enough to fill St James Park entirely every three years and it’s becoming increasingly costly to process. When business and industrial waste is added this figure is much higher.
The report coincides with a number of recent announcements by Government and big business aimed at reducing single use plastic which is harming wildlife and damaging the environment.
Drawn up by experts on the Newcastle Waste Commission, the report suggests:
- a voluntary ban on single use plastics in the city
- a voluntary ban on drinking straws in pubs, clubs and restaurants
- setting an ambitious target to be a zero-food waste city
- a re-use mall where unwanted items can be bought, sold and swapped
- exploring alternatives to the council sending waste to Sweden
- setting up a city-wide partnership for groups to share ideas and good practice
The report’s findings were presented to an invited audience at Newcastle’s Mansion House by Heidi Mottram, Chair of the Commission and Chief Executive of Northumbrian Water Group.
Ms Mottram said: “Waste, and how we deal with it, is one of the biggest challenges facing our generation.
“Thanks to TV programmes like Blue Planet the threat that it poses have struck a chord with millions of people and there now appears to be a growing acceptance that we can’t just carry on doing the same old things.
“We all have a responsibility to wise-up to waste and do our bit. This report is full of ideas, big and small, short term and long term. I want as many people as possible to read it. If everyone pledges to do at least one thing then together we can make a big difference.
“Ultimately, the people of Newcastle hold the key to success. By reducing waste, recycling more and reusing everyday items, the city can make a step change.”
If the measures in the report are implemented it’s estimated waste could be reduced by 10 per cent by 2025, and recycling rates improved from 42 per cent to 65 per cent by 2030. Up to 1,000 jobs and millions of pounds for the local economy could also be generated.
The Newcastle Waste Commission, made up of seven leading experts from the world of waste, was formed 10 months ago, and although it was commissioned by Newcastle City Council, it is independent. Its recommendations are for the city and not just the city council.
It met six times in London and Newcastle, hearing evidence from a broad range of organisations from charities to big business, hospitals to community clean-up groups before compiling its report and recommendations.
Leader of Newcastle City Council, Cllr Nick Forbes, who received the report on behalf of the city, said: “Newcastle is a hugely ambitious city and we want to be on the world stage when it comes to dealing with waste.
“The report is extremely thorough. Many different ways of dealing with waste have been considered and, for that reason, it will be of interest to every town and city in the country.
“We all generate waste, whether it be discarded food, old clothing, cardboard packaging or just general household waste. The big challenge now is how we can come together to work in partnership and turn this report into a call for action.”
A full copy of the report with seven high level recommendations is available on the Wise on Waste website at: www.wiseonwaste.co.uk
The council will work with partners across the city to implement as many of the recommendations as possible.

It was probably not a coincidence that my adolescent Trekkiehood (and no, I’m not uptight over the whole -ie vs. -er thing) coincided with the beginnings of the interrogation and articulation of the politics of multiracial identity that has preoccupied my academic and extracurricular life since then (and I’m 39 now).
I’d already spent a good number of my childhood Saturday afternoons watching Classic Trek reruns on Channel 13 when Star Trek: The Next Generation started airing at the same time that I started junior high. I don’t think I was quite sure why, exactly, I was so into it, but I was. My friends and I would spend science class talking about the previous night’s episode or passing around the latest NextGen comic book. I filled my bookshelf with TOS and TNG novels from Pocket Books, plus all the oversized manuals and behind-the-scenes-looks and field guides filled with art and graphic design. I hung a framed poster from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (a.k.a. The One With The Whales) over my bed and taped a pair of those shades they give you after the eye doctor dilates your eyes to slide into your glasses over Spock’s eyes.
I wore an original series command uniform made by my mom of soft gold velour to school on Halloween at least once if not twice (and somehow avoided getting beaten up). I received TNG action figures as gifts and pinned them to my cork board, keeping them mint-in-box. I went with friends from school to the monthly LA comic-con, first at the Ambassador, then at the Shrine, to browse the dealers’ room and see special guests (the “Save Max Headroom” flyer I got signed by Matt Frewer, Jeffrey Tambor, and George Coe hung on my bedroom wall for a long time after that show’s demise). We graduated to Creation cons devoted to our beloved Trek, and took the bus to the Westin Bonaventure downtown or got my dad to drop us off at the LAX Hilton, where I won a mug in a Pocket Books trivia contest and we saw a surprise preview screening of “The Best of Both Worlds, Part I” introduced by The Great Bird of the Galaxy himself in what was to be one of his last con appearances. I was a teenaged Trekkie, and I was not ashamed.

Travel, Teach, Live in Thailand
Love or loathe it, Damnoen Saduak Floating Market will always be a traditional and fundamental part of Bangkok life. This particular market is situated 100 kilometers or 60 miles west of the capital in the Ratchaburi Province on canal also known as a khlong. It's an immensely popular floating market with a combination of vibrant colour and absolute commotion. Some tourists love the energetic vibe while others may feel it's a bit of a tourist scam. It may well be a little bit of both depending on your point of view. It will only become apparent should you decide to go. I will explain in due course.
Firstly let me tell you that this illustrious market is named after a canal that was specially dug out to connect the Tacheen River with the Mae Klong River. It then continues to run right through the center of the town and the neighboring region.
Ample fruit and vegetables are grown in the exceptional quality of the fertile soil that is found beside the canal. Cabbages, beans, onions, oranges, grapefruit, mangoes, bananas, papayas, coconuts and the malacca grape are just some of the many varieties of produce that can be both enjoyed and purchased here. For this very reason alone, the floating market should certainly not be missed.
Now while the market might appear to be a picture perfect utopia according to the brochures found at most hotels and ticket stalls, it may also come with a few disappointments. You might only experience this once you arrive but you need to go anyway. Not everyone comes away elated. I did say that it can get extremely crowded and noisy at times but the real irritations are the constant harassment's by touts who persistently peddle boat rides on the canal with exorbitant costs. Although the boat ride is a great idea, it can become rather tedious after a while.
Another letdown is the huge covered shopping area alongside the main pier where vendors sell all sorts of... can I say it... absolute rubbish. Well all sorts of mostly bland handicrafts that is. Don't waste your time buying anything here as prices are generally three times what you would pay at other markets around the city.
Don't waste your time bargaining either. You might just get annoyed and end up angry. There is nothing worth buying here. Rather go and purchase the fresh fruit sold by the boat people. If you do decide to go, go for the experience and not to shop. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the great vibe. But then I do love most things about Thailand. I hope this greatly helps you in your decision making.
The real attraction for tourists is a long-boat ride along the canals where you will pass orchards, traditional Thai teak houses and places where locals do business. Enter their world and observe how the inhabitants live, work and play here. Tour companies cover these agendas in their itinerary and some even include a visit to Nakorn Pathom which is the site of Thailand's tallest Chedi called Phra Patom. Apparently this is the largest pagoda of it's kind anywhere in Southeast Asia.
A trip to the Damnoen Saduak floating market is well worth the visit. The market itself can only be described as a chaotic collection of canals crammed with small flat boats steeped with freshly picked produce. Many boats are paddled by ladies bearing a variety of goodies including much needed hats and fans. Traders here scramble around to compete for the best position to grab a sale. The market is intensely diversified, eventful, lively, noisy, great fun and definitely entertaining.
First and foremost, you need to get an early start should you be commuting from Bangkok because Damnoen Saduak Floating Market closes comparatively early at around noon or just thereafter. The trip by road will take approximately two hours but often takes a little longer due to frequent delays caused by heavy traffic and the ever present constant construction along the route.
Although you may have to get up a little earlier than you would normally, taking a Tour from Bangkok would be more than justified as the journey along the way is both pleasant and relaxing. All tours begin at sunrise so do not be at all surprised if your chosen tour company collects you at your hotel around six in the morning.
You may wish to travel by car yourself. To do this, take Highway 4 from Bangkok on the Phetchakasem Road for approximately 80 kilometers or 48 miles then turn left along Bangpae-Damnoen Saduak Road for a further 20 kilometers or 12 miles. You could travel the night before and sleep over at one of the hotel in the area.
Another possible option is to use the public bus service that leaves from the new Southern Bus Terminal at Phutthamonthon Soi 1 in the Taling Chan District.
If you are unfamiliar with the public transport system in Bangkok, the easiest solution is to take a taxi to the terminal. Only make sure the driver knows exactly where the new terminal is and doesn't take you to the old one, which has since stopped functioning. Although the new terminal is located along the same route, it is a little further afield. About 10 kilometres from the Khao San Road area, 15 kilometres or so from from Siam Square or Silom and a little bit more than that from Sukhumvit. Just remember it is always advisable to use the metered taxis.
The new terminal's building has a similar appearance to that of a modern airport and best of all, it has air-conditioning. All the departure monitors are electronic with schedules in both English and Thai. Tickets to the market can be purchased at a numbered counter for your particular destination. Price are reasonable and the buses are well-regulated and safe. If need be, you can draw cash from one of the banks as well as grab a bite to eat at the KFC outlet before you depart.

Located in the sunny hills of the region of Mijas, a Mediterranean oasis located on the coast of Malaga, Spain, Cala Mijas will take place from the 31st of August until the 2nd of September. Since its first edition in 2022, Cala Mijas quickly positioned itself as the perfect escape for those looking for a quality music festival but with a layback holiday vibe filled with sunsets, sandy beaches and sundowners with friends.
For its second edition, Cala Mijas just announced new names and the split of acts by day with an incredible roster of international and national artists including Idles, Arca, Moderat, SLOWTHAI, Charlie Cunningham, José Gonzalez joining an already impressive line-up with The Strokes, Florence + The Machine, Foals, Arcade Fire, The Blaze and more. As part of their commitment to support the national music community, Cala Mijas 2023 will see a diverse line-up of local talent playing along with some of the biggest international names.
60 artists across 3 days, the peak of a memorable summer.
Thursday 31st of August will see the comeback of Cala Mijas with a stellar day line-up with something for everyone. Thursday’s acts include the already announced Arcade Fire who will only play at two festivals this year and Foals joined by IDLES, the self-proclaimed ‘angry band’ from Bristol that will deliver their usual fury of punk rock.
Other highlights of the day include the Northampton rapper SLOWTHAI will be presenting a new setlist from his recently released album ‘UGLY‘ – Cala Mijas attendees can expect the usual politically charged lyrics but with more guitars this time.
The UK legend and ex-lead of The Banshees, Siouxsie also joins the line-up. The king of rock ballads, Tamino will enchant the masses with new tracks from his most recent album ‘Sahar‘ and for those looking to continue the party until the early hours of the morning, the electronic music supergroup Moderat will be in charge with their usual electronic sounds. Also joining the party is the Brazilian drag queen Pabllo Vittar and her message of sexual liberation, backed by icons like Major Lazer or Charli XCX that will make the Cala Mijas crowd dance to the rhythm of her massive queer pop.
Friday 1st of September welcomes the ultimate rock’n’roll rotation, with the New York indie band, The Strokes and Australian punk group Amyl and The Sniffers. Inviting a taste of Spain from the soil of Granada is Lori Meyers, famous for their Spanish alternative chart toppers. Adding to the acoustics on stage, Charlie Cunnigham is bringing his guitar for a lushly layered arrangement and the Buckinghamshire-born songwriter will cast his autobiographical lyrics from his third album, ‘Frame‘, set to land this March.
Set to further take over the stage with a new psychedelic rock sound, is young American rapper Lil Yachty, after the release of his 2023 album ‘Let’s Start Here‘. Turning up the energy even more with the pop factor festival goers can prepare for nostalgic, electronic pop with the duo Junior Boys and lush dream-pop of mixed folk traditions from Mexican rising star Kevin Kaarl, and the oriental house by the Parisian duo Acid Arab. Additionally forecasting heat on the dance floor is Playback Maracas.
The debut edition of Cala Mijas in 2022 introduced what is already known as the ultimate summer rave taking place at La Caleta stage. This space where both the audience and artists are the main stars has a unique atmosphere that features 360 sound and vivid colours visuals.
Beautifully described by Cormac who will be performing at La Caleta on the 1st of September; ‘What happens on a dance floor is something magical: you can fall in love, you can break your heart, you can flirt, you can dance, you can feel alone or accompanied’.
On an idyllic dance floor surrounded by a eucalyptus forest, the visionary James Holden will present his new album joined by an impressive list of acts including Nicola Cruz, the residents of Panorama Bar (Berghain) and LGTBIQ+ activists Prosumer and Cormac, as well as the talented Italian DJ Budino and the Andalusian Buganvilia.
Call Super could not miss the date after a jaw-dropping set at La Caleta last year, nor could the master of Detroit’s Techno Palms Trax. La Caleta will also welcome one of the new faces of the UK scene Saoirse, the height mixes of Yung Prado, the fusion sounds of the female DJs Topanga Kiddo and Ouri Live. Axel Boman will present his new album with his powerful live show, the sum of Madrid resident Ketiov and NTS’ DJ Moxie, will perform at La Caleta as a completely unconventional b2b set, to which will be added, in different slots, the British I. Jordan and Tom VR and Alvva from San Sebastian. The cherry on top will be the master of the turntables Helena Hauff closing La Caleta on Saturday with her iconic vinyl set.
Last Tour, recently became the leading live music promoter in Europe to join the B Corp community, representing a roster of festivals including Cala Mijas, Bilbao BBK Live and BIME. B Corp is a global movement that evaluates and verifies the efforts that companies and organisations make to generate a positive social and environmental impact.
With the objective to reduce its environmental impact, Cala Mijas operates with infrastructures including a strict recycling and waste management system; energy efficiency measures, free drinking water on the premises; or services connected to a chemical-free network. Other measures like the promotion of sustainable transportation, prevention and awareness programmes against sexist attacks and to promote and celebrate gender equality, position the festival as a pioneer in his field.

Ylvisaker Cup final at Palm Beach
The name and colours of the Swiss luxury watchmaker Piaget dominated the day at the International Polo Club Palm Beach (IPC) on Sunday, February 26th, as the Piaget team triumphed in one of America’s top high-goal tournaments, the Ylvisaker Cup. Named after the late William T. “Bill” Ylvisaker whose Palm Beach Polo & Country Club (PBPCC) was the centre of high-goal polo in the US in the 1970s and 1980s, the prestigious tournament echoed the early days of Piaget’s involvement with the “sport of kings” more than 30 years ago. Palm Beach was one of the first venues where the Swiss firm introduced its iconic Piaget Polo luxury watch in 1979. Since then, Piaget has become one of the sport’s most prominent supporters across the globe, sponsoring top events and teams in the US, England, Argentina and China.
The final of the 2012 Ylvisaker Cup was played on IPC’s premier polo ground, the Piaget Championship Field, before a sell-out crowd of polo enthusiasts from Wellington and Palm Beach. The match also made history, as it was the first time that a husband and wife played against each other in a high goal tournament in Palm Beach. Melissa Ganzi championed the Piaget team, while her husband led the Audi team. The 20-goal Ylvisaker Cup contest saw a record 16 teams competing for the trophy. By chance Piaget and Audi were drawn in the same league. Piaget won all their matches except for their single league encounter with Audi which Piaget lost by a single goal.
The Ylvisaker final was a see-saw battle of giants with the lead repeatedly changing and the game tied up time and time again. Piaget led 3-2 at the end of the first chukka. The second period saw the two teams equal at 4-4. The first half ended with Audi leading Piaget 7-6. Piaget took control in the fourth chukka to end the period 9-7. Piaget kept the lead in the fifth staying 10-9 ahead. The sixth and final period was a real cliff-hanger. First Audi tied the game up at 10-10. Piaget then retook the lead with a penalty conversion. Audi equalised before Piaget scored again to make it 12-11. With less than two minutes to play, Audi tied it up and it appeared the game might go into overtime. Then, with less than a minute to play, Audi fouled and Piaget’s Miguel Novillo Astrada converted to give Piaget their 13-12 victory and the coveted Ylvisaker Cup.
The Argentine pro Astrada was Piaget’s top scorer with seven goals. American Nic Roldan was top man for Audi with nine goals to his credit. Piaget’s 6-goal American pro Jason Crowder took double honours. He was named Most Valuable Player and his nine-year-old mare Ruby took the Best Playing Pony prize.
The USPA Piaget Gold Cup, one of only three 26-goal tournaments in the country, starts on March 7th with the final on March 25th. A Piaget team will again be in contention, this time with Marc Ganzi as patron while his wife Melissa takes over the Audi side.

Over the past year, Movement for Change and Labour Students have run Living Wage trainings and actions at universities across the UK. In the process, we’ve secured the Living Wage for low-paid employees (equating to as much as a £1,750 per annum pay increase in one case), including at the largest university in the country. Meanwhile, Movement for Change’s team of Community Organisers is training and developing students in areas as diverse as Swansea and Guildford to continue the campaigns into the new academic year.
Here, former Movement for Change organiser and current Secretary of Labour Students Teddy Ryan shares his personal thoughts on what Movement for Change activists have achieved so far.
TEDDY: The gulf between young people and politics has never been greater. The largest group of unregistered voters are those under the age of 25; the majority of those who are registered do not vote. Reversing that trend is a huge task for the Labour Movement and only by understanding the root of the problem can we begin to overcome it. Fundamentally, too many young people feel disconnected from politics and local political action is an alien concept to most.
The optimistic outlook for Labour is that with a renewed Labour Party under Ed Miliband, and with the Liberal Democrats discredited beyond repair, 2015 will see millions of young people turning to Labour as the party of hope and opportunity. The polls are good and internally we have more Young Labour and Labour Students groups than ever before, but the honest truth is that simply pushing Labour in front of the other two parties is not good enough. Rather than simply winning the fight over whether or not the Labour Party is a force for good, we must be prepared to have and win the argument that politics itself is a force for good. We must proactively demonstrate that young people are able to change their own communities through positive political action.
Over the past year, I’ve travelled the length and breadth of the country, visiting universities and Labour Clubs working on the Movement for Change/Labour Students Living Wage campaign. In a short space of time, students have demonstrated clearly that politics can make a real difference. By working with Movement for Change, Labour Students has proved that young people can take political action which goes beyond raising awareness and creating debate – they can change people’s lives.
With successes at Manchester, Kent and De Montfort as well as successful accreditation at LSE, the campaign is cause for celebration. However, the political energy within ongoing Movement for Change/Labour Students Living Wage campaigns must not be lost. Many active and growing campaigns exist and where there has been success the clubs there are now working on pushing the living wage beyond their campus.
I am proud of how the Living Wage campaign has made a difference. It helps us win the argument that political action can be a force for good in our communities. Over the next year, Labour Students and Movement for Change will continue the campaign, pushing it into the wider community. In doing this, and continuing to campaign hard for Labour on the doorstep, Labour students will seek to win the wider argument that politics and political action should be embraced and not ignored by Britain’s youth.

Tennessee Tech has right formula for National Chemistry Week
Posted By Kim Swindell Wood | October 19, 2019 9:12 am
All the elements are in place at Tennessee Tech for a fun and informative National Chemistry Week.
Sponsored by the Student Members of the American Chemical Society, National Chemistry Week will be held on Tech’s campus Monday, Oct. 20 through Saturday, Oct. 26.
“We always look forward to National Chemistry Week every year,” said Amanda Carroll, a lecturer in the chemistry department and faculty advisor for SMACS. “We have a week full of events that is open to the Tech campus and to the community.”
The week begins on Monday with a Marvelous Metals event in the Tech Pride Room of the RUC from 5 – 8 p.m. The event is free, open for kids of all ages to learn about the chemistry of metals through hands-on demonstrations and activities. Children will be able to make some metals-related crafts, including magnetic slime and making a battery. Other activities include removing iron from breakfast cereal, making ink, melting gallium in your hand, and learning about ferrofluids.
“We really try to make a push for National Chemistry Week because we want to show how chemistry impacts everybody’s lives,” said Carroll. “People tend to think chemistry is scary or it’s really hard and it doesn’t pertain to them because it’s something learned in a classroom. In reality, chemistry touches every aspect of your everyday life.”
On Tuesday from 5:45-7 p.m., there will be a Marvelous Metals webinar in Foster Hall 233.
This event is co-sponsored by SMACS and the Nashville Local Section of the American Chemical Society and will display how chemists are developing new technologies using metals at the intersection of organic and inorganic chemistry. From innovations in medical imaging and theranostics to fundamental changes to the way everyday necessities are created like clothing, food, and energy, these scientists will demonstrate how to harness the power of “marvelous metals.”
After the Mole Day Race at Tucker Stadium on Wednesday from 5-7 p.m., the annual bake sale will be held on Thursday in front of the Volpe Library.
Also on Thursday, the Green Chemistry Lecture will be held 6-7 p.m., in Foster Hall 233. A student will introduce what Green Chemistry is and how it differs from environmental chemistry. The history and the 12 principles of Green Chemistry will be covered, as well as examples of how Green Chemistry is used to improve current chemical practices and industry.
On Friday, there will be a game night 5-7 p.m. in Foster 408, and the week concludes with the annual Golden Helix 5k race on Saturday.
