In ceramics, ball mills are used to grind down materials into very fine particles. materials such as clay and glaze components can be broken down in a ball mill by getting placed into rotating or rolling jars with porcelain balls inside them. during milling, the porcelain balls pulverized the materials into an incredibly fine powder.
In open loop milling, the feed will go through the mill only one time, it is suitable in case the mill is performant enough to reach the desired psd in 1 pass. it gives the simplest process. in closed loop milling, a system to separate the particles having a too large size to the ones having the desired size must be implemented after the mill.
In this paper, the milling parameters of high energy ball mill fritsch pulverisette 7 like vial geometry, number and size of balls and speed of the mill were modelled and discussed. simulations through discrete element method dem provide correlation between the milling parameters. a mathematical model is used to improve and develop this process.
Introduction ball milling is a method used to break down the solids to smaller sizes or into a powder. a ball mill is a type of grinder which consists of a cylinder. it is used in grinding or mixing materials like ores, chemicals, ceramic raw materials and paints. the cylinder rotates around a horizontal axis.
Mechanical milling of clay minerals was carried out using a laboratory planetary ball mill consisting of two containers 7.0 cm inner diameter, using stainless balls with various diameters from 5 to 20 mm as milling media.in order to investigate the relationship between the grinding intensity and the rate of change of clay structure, various ratios of the weight of balls.
Mined ball clay, which typically has a moisture content of approximately 28 percent, first is stored in drying sheds until the moisture content decreases to 20 to 24 percent. the clay then is shredded in a disintegrator into small pieces 1.3 to 2.5 centimeters cm 0.5 to 1 in. in thickness. the shredded material then is either dried or ground in a hammer mill.

The president of Xbox, Sarah Bond, has confirmed that the company is already looking forward to the next-generation of hardware, and aims to deliver “the largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation.”
Bond spoke about this during the latest episode of the Official Xbox Podcast, which aired today (February 15), and addressed the company’s plans for Xbox going forward. While she didn’t go into specifics, she teased that some hardware news will be shared “this holiday,” so it sounds like there’s plenty to be excited about towards the end of the year.
“There’s some exciting stuff coming out in hardware that we’re going to share this holiday, and we’re also invested in the next-generation roadmap,” she said. “What we’re really focused on there is delivering the largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation, which makes it better for players and better for creators and the visions that they’re building.”
The podcast episode was packed with news for fans to dissect, notably including the confirmation that four Xbox games that were previously released as console exclusives are on their way to other platforms in the future. This follows weeks of rumors of a wide variety of Xbox games being considered for a multi-platform release.
Addressing this, head of Microsoft Gaming Phil Spencer confirmed that there’s no broader change to Xbox’s “fundamental exclusive strategy” in the works. He didn’t directly name the games, either, but hinted that two of them are “community-driven,” and the other two are “smaller games that were never really meant to be built as kind of platform exclusives.” It was also clarified that neither Starfield or Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are included amongst this lineup.
It’s not currently known when these four games will be released, either, but Spencer stated that the teams working on them have “announced plans that are not too far away,” so fans will just have to watch this space.

Pine and Fir trees conceal numerous stories that become myth. A light flickering through the treetops, people speak of witches and spirits lingering from history passed. Sometimes, hushed whispers and bone-chilling winds come up from the depths and scare the livestock and the people in town. Many travelers do not dare come this way. They stay along the main road and avert their gaze to the sign reading: Corpse Cove.
The name of the town itself should be daunting enough, but it’s people tend to keep away from the affairs of outsiders. Those who have read the newspapers coming from this lonely town flock in interest. And those who live in Corpse Cove happily oblige their deepest fantasies for a fee. Murder mysteries derived from true events and horseback tours of the recent fire that wiped out a third of the homes, the townspeople thrive on death. Perhaps they are obsessed with it, as it is all they know.
A quaint Inn sits nearest to the forest with the windows strategically built to view as much of the treeline as possible. The most expensive room sits atop a tower, up a winding staircase, and perched high enough to see for miles. Claims of mysterious glowing orbs dancing over the horizon just before nightfall and sounds of drums and singing are carried with the wind. All of these and so much more make Corpse Cove ripe for spirit activity.
But it wasn’t always named this way. When the town was first inhabited twenty years ago, a settler and his wife named the land Harristown. Maude and Earl Harris, along with a few of their close friends and relatives, began to build. When the town was christened, so were the Harris’. Maude was pregnant.
However, it wasn’t a joyous time for everyone in Harristown. Earl’s mother, an eccentric by the town’s standards, never cared much for Maude and believed that her grandchild would deface the ‘good Harris name’. So, she devised a plan. Late one night, a raven came to her windowsill, sat upon it, and beckoned for her. She followed it deep into the forest, black as pitch. Suddenly, she spotted a fire. No one was around except her and the raven, that, when she turned to look back at it, had transformed into a grey fox with a woman standing beside it. Both had silver eyes glinting against the flames.
“I know what it is you request of the spirits of the forest,” she said in a low, melodic voice. “We require sacrifice as payment.”
The old lady swallowed the lump in her throat, but the first person to come to mind was Maude. No, that would be too obvious. “If I decide to sacrifice the child?”
“She will become us,” the spirit explained, though her mouth did not move. Her voice came and went with the wind. “If she has done no wrong, this will be the end of Harristown as you know it. Heed my warning or do not, that is your choice.”
But the old woman choose her own path. Clouded by hate for Maude, she allowed her son to raise the child for three years to keep suspicions at bay. On the evening of the child’s third birthday, the Spirit’s wolf awaited the old lady and the toddler at the forest’s edge. No tears were shed until dawn when Maude and Earl found that their daughter went missing. They believed that a thief stole her in the night, and they weren’t entirely wrong.
For months they searched surrounding lands, always returning to Harristown for comfort. On their final search destination, Earl’s mother decided to go alone.
“Perhaps she is in Ashville,” she offered. Still, only she knew where their precious daughter had disappeared that night. Earl begged to accompany her, but she refused.
Two days passed when the old lady returned down the dirt road to the wooden sign stamped with her last name. Something was different as she turned off the main road and began the mile ride to the town. It was the smell. She remembered it as fresh maple and wildflowers, but not this time. This time, it smelled like smoke.
“Help,” it was Maude’s voice coming from the bottom of the hill. “Please help us. Earl… the others.”
“If she has done no wrong, this will be the end of Harristown as you know it. Heed my warning or do not, that is your choice.” It echoed in the old woman’s mind.
The moment her carriage turned towards the hill, her eyes widened. Smoldering remains of over half the town came into view. Maude was slumped over next to the horses, crying hysterically. Her legs were badly burned.
“I’m so sorry, ma,” she wept. “I tried to save him, but he wouldn’t leave the house. He said he saw her, ma. He said he saw our daughter.”
“What?” The old woman’s heart started racing and her palms became sweaty. “That can’t be possible. It’s been months. She’s gone.”
Suddenly, the widow screamed and pointed to the forest. Her hands were shaking violently. “No.”
“That’s impossible,” the old woman said. But again, the Spirits warning repeated in the back of her mind.
The two women stood there, flabbergasted as a very young girl with fiery red hair wrapped in messy braids stood at the threshhold. Perched on her shoulder was a raven and just beside her was the fox. All three of them had bright silver eyes. But it was what the girl said that terrified them.
“I’m sorry mommy. I had to tell you, but you wouldn’t listen. She left me here to die and now I must take you all with me.”
Although the town changed it’s name since that day, the stories did not die with Maude and Earl. Years have passed and it is still a bustling town with a dark past. But that is the charm. None of the spirits in the fire were laid to rest and their remains still haunt the town. Maude and Earl can be heard weeping in various places around town and seen on the full moon nights. Their specters glide through the streets, calling out to their lost child. Other townspeople can be heard screaming in pain from time to time. But the most noted ghost is that of Earl’s mother. They claim she is the most active because she was banished from the afterlife. Everyone who comes to Corpse Cove has seen her in one way or another. Mirrors reflecting her likeness, a shadow of a shuffling hunched woman through hallways and the streets. But on the anniversary of her grandchild’s birthday, she can be followed.
Her path? The very same she took all those years ago. From the home of her son to the treeline. Those brave enough to follow can find her weaving around trees that have since fallen over to a small clearing – a perfect circle. Some claim that the remnants of a fire still burns, but only the coals. The old woman’s spirit sways back and forth for an hour, dwelling on her choice and leaving to her home. Only to return with her grandchild and disappears again.
Tales say that the child still lives within the trees, raised by wolves and the Spirit who spoke to the old woman. Her red hair – a reminder of the havoc she caused her family and the town she should have grown up in. Even still, you can see her glowing persona just beyond the treeline, watching over Corpse Cove.
But those are just stories right?
Thank you all for reading! I hope you enjoyed and I would love to read your take on the 3 prompts above. 🙂

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Monday that he is considering taking away the Israeli ID cards from Arab residents of eastern Jerusalem.
He added that he intends to tour eastern Jerusalem to examine the situation there from up close, and that he will invite some Cabinet members to accompany him there, before he reaches a decision.
Leftist MKs shouted at Netanyahu and jeered at him. One suggested mockingly than Netanyahu put on an Arab costume in order to go undercover.
Channel 2 reported Sunday that Netanyahu had suggested the idea in the Cabinet. He reportedly said "We cannot continue with the present situation outside the fence," and suggested that "taking away the blue identity cards from the residents" be considered.
According to the report, ministers who were surprised by Netanyahu's statement noted that such a move would have dramatic diplomatic ramifications.
Prime Ministers since 1967 have vowed not to re-divide Jerusalem, after its unification in the Six Day War. Taking away the permanent resident status of eastern Jerusalem's Arabs could be interpreted as the first step toward undoing the annexation of eastern Jerusalem and the application of Israeli sovereignty there.
On the other hand, it could also be seen as a punitive move, stripping the population of the numerous benefits Israeli residency status gives it, as payback for the terror wave.

Murder Mystery at the Conshohocken Free Library Recap in photos
Murder Mystery Recap and Photos at the Conshohocken Free Library
by Brian Coll
The old saying, they say a picture says a thousand words.. well, my words won’t mean much, because to the people that went to the Murder Mystery last night at the Conshohocken Free Library are still smiling from ear to ear after that performance. This is the 2nd annual Murder Mystery event at the Library. Last year it was Cheers to Murder that left people in stitches, and last night they went with a holiday themed A Dickens of a Murder. The cast and crew from Without a Cue Productions does a fantastic job, if you ever are looking for something to do I understand they perform somewhat regular performances at Peddlers Village. I would recommend a show to anyone. It had been a long, long time since I even thought about Charles Dickens and I thought I would be a little slow to pick up the action, but at the start of the show all my worries vanished. I didn’t know to know any back story to anything, the characters did such a great job of working the room and making everyone feel a part of the show or the event. Older men got up and danced, younger ladies talked about the costumes, I think everyone sung at some point and when the microphone came my way I somehow messed up a beloved Christmas Classic because I was laughing so much. Not pictured was the food…. everything was great from Pepperoncini. No one wants their photo taken while shoving food in their face……. If you missed it this year, make plans for next year. Grab friends, I think everyone had a great time.
Here are a few photos from the great event. If you want to help support the Conshohocken Free Library and missed this event, there is a Christmas Tree Sale currently taking place at the Library.

14th June 2016 we left home on a bright and breezy morning and headed to Dover for the 12:00 DFDS sailing to Dunkirk. The first time we had used Dover for a long time, the first time to Dunkirk and the first ferry trip for Fred. It is was an uneventful 2 hour crossing that tipped us out on the Autoroute just shy of the Belgian border.
An 400km drive through Belgium, with an unintentional afternoon detour through the middle of the Antwerp rush hour, the Netherlands and Germany to Haltern-am-See a bit before Munster. Here we tried a new experience and found a Stelplatz. For anyone touring Germany in a camper or motorhome these are brilliant.
They are basically stopping places that you are allowed to use for a night. They might be car parks or lay-bys, with or without facilities and free or a couple of Euros. They are identified my the image of a camper on a street sign. The particular one we found was on a grass car park part of the local sports ground. No facilities but a lot of woodland and a bar nearby. It was a very quiet night only us and one other and our first experience of having to dig ticks out of Fred!
The following day we had decided to bash 800km to Hirtshals on the northern most tip of Jutland, Denmark, with a few detours for roadworks and epic torrential rain around Aalborg that slowed the motorway to 20 miles and hour and even then we couldn’t see anything. At least we could have a relaxing evening with no pressure to rush for the ferry in the morning. We arrived at the camp site overlooking the straights from where we could see the ferries heading to Norway. That far north is on the same latitude as Aberdeen so it was light well into the evening.
The following morning we had time to kill, a walk on the beach, a visit to the limited supermarket and a fill up of reasonably priced Danish diesel before we headed to the ferry for an 11:00 sailing. Another long trip for Fred but he seemed OK with it.
It is worth noting for anyone going to Norway that going this route the ferry actually costs the same as or even less than the tolls on the bridges in Denmark and across to Sweden. However it is several hundred miles less to drive!
Another point of note if you are travelling with a dog even though you will have a pet passport for Europe the same rules regarding worming when coming from Europe into Norway apply as for returning to the UK. So we took Fred to our local vet the day before we left home for his worming tablet that lasted until we crossed into Norway.

From the mountains and the desert beaches, we headed for Lima, the capital of Peru and the third largest city in South America. Given that we typically avoid major cities unless we have car repairs, I might have used the excuse of finding a vet for Luna to come here. But the real objective was the food. Peru, especially Lima, is famous for good food. For three days straight we did not cook even once. That was eight meals of continuously eating out and we barely scratched the surface of the culinary diversity of this city. We were lucky there was a hostel in one of the best neighborhoods that allowed car camping so we could splurge all our budget eating out.
And eating out we did. French bakery, dim sum, sushi, ceviche, octopus in olive sauce, , chifa, fresh fruit juices on repeat. It seemed like all we did in this city filled with museums and historical buildings was eating out. As usual, once the food arrived, our frontal lobes shut off so for evidence there are only two photos of half-eaten food.
We did make it to the Plaza de Armas and saw the changing of the guard at the Presidential Palace. We walked here from Chinatown after the best dim sum since leaving the Bay Area. The ceremony which was a first for all of us, was so long and slow. We tried to watch the whole thing but took off after 20 minutes. But Ty did learn about the concept of marching. From then on, the game of marching would motivate him to go just a bit further on walks. We also met a massive Rottweiler police k9 that we just had to approach. It had a heavy intimidating leather muzzle on, which made it look even more menacing but strangely defeated the purpose of having a guard dog. It and the police officer were actually very friendly. Simon and I pulled up our old Rottie pictures and talked dog with the police officer for a a few minutes.
The Centro Historico was nice but after visiting so many colonial cities in South America, the one in Lima didn’t particularly stand out. So the rest of the time we hung around the Miraflores district where our hostel was situated. Luna went with us everywhere. On walks. In cabs. On and off leash. Only three weeks with us by this time and she was already acting like a pro.
Lima is a city of 10 million and it gets a bad rep like the other big Central and South American cities. As we were driving into Lima going through the urban sprawl, we agreed it was a terrible sight. Heavy congestion, trash and smog. Simon worriedly asked why we were stopping in Lima at all. But there is always a money neighborhood in every city. The Miraflores district is by the sea and is full of green space, coffee shops and pure-bred dogs on leashes. It is upscale but not pretentious. The vibe reminded us a lot of San Francisco. Staying here let us recharge before the big leg into the mountains of the Sacred Valley.
And, we did accomplish the vet visit for Luna. The other “vet” that we went to in North Peru was in a shop that sold everything for chickens and cows too. The anti-parasite medication she got up there had a picture of a sheep on it. In Lima, she got all her vaccinations, a health exam, and new medications for external and internal parasites. All this set us back US$60. About the same as what it cost to just walk into a vet’s office in the States.

Murray Darling Junction, a slightly different view than normal.
We don’t normally show stock images here on this blog. But rules are made to be broken. so below is our latest shot of the Murray Darling Junction.
I’ve always been fascinated by the difference in water colour between the Murray and Darling rivers. Best place in the world to really see that difference, is right at the Murray Darling Junction at Wentworth. Of course the fact that both rivers are running at high levels with significant flow rates could only help by stirring up sediment which gives them their unique colours. I didn’t want the usual picture of the Murray Darling Junction, but something a bit different. I wanted this picture to be about the confluence of two rivers. The mixing, moulding together of two bodies of water into one. Viewed directly from above, I had no idea just how interesting that blending could be. Patterns created by the milky waters of the Darling as it merges with the darker Murray water, are not only fascinating to watch but are ever changing. I’m sure if you could view the rivers from above all day, the patterns of swirls created by the merging currents would never repeat.
Getting a camera into position, was always going to be a challenge. I’ve been waiting for a number of years to create this single shot. My plan had been to shoot the image from a helicopter, however there is never a chopper around when you need one. Last week a friend offered my a ride in a hot air balloon over the Murray Darling Junction. It took me all of a millisecond to say YES! Flying late afternoon, so that late light would light up the trees on the narrow spit of land separating the Murray and Darling rivers. I made the decision to shoot medium format digital. I wanted to make the most of this photo opportunity. Medium format digital with its higher bit rate and resolution, meant that I was able to get the best quality pictures possible of the Murray Darling Junction.

Bandai Namco has announced two new characters for SoulCalibur VI: Astaroth and Seong Mi-na. The announcement was made during Evo 2018, an annual fighting game tournament held in Las Vegas. During the show producer, Motohiro Okubo appeared on stage to reveal the characters and show off a trailer for both characters.
For longtime SoulCalibur players, Astaroth and Seong Mi-na will be welcome additions, as they have both been mainstays in previous titles. As with his previous incarnations, Astaroth towers above most of his enemies and makes good on his imposing presence by wielding a giant axe. He's a powerhouse, using his incredible strength to deal huge damage and, thanks to his axe, also has pretty good range.
Seong Mi-na also has great range thanks to her longsword. She also looks to have very oppressive strings and is capable of mixing up high and low attacks very quickly. She'll no doubt be putting defenses to the test with her aggressive, speedy style of fighting. You can see both characters in action in the video above.
SoulCalibur VI's release date has been confirmed as October 19. Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher series has been confirmed as a guest character and will even be featured on the game's cover. Witcher developer CD Projekt Red says it is working closely with Bandai to assure Geralt looks and feels authentic in the game.

"From this day, discrimination against gays in Greece is on the decline.
We did this to encourage other gay people to take a stand," she said after the ceremony held at sunrise on Tuesday.
In spite of the rapid growth of female employment in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, demand for female labour had been constantly outstripped by supply, leading to very high female unemployment throughout this very long period (Karamessini 2012).
Moreover, with the advent of the crisis, the gender gaps in activity and employment rates were among the highest in the EU27.
Since the beginning of the crisis, GDP has declined by 20.1% and employment by 17.5%.
The number of unemployed has increased by 3.3 times, while the unemployment rate climbed from 8.1% to 26.3% between the last quarter of 2008 and the last quarter of 2012.
However, despite offering equal marriage rights, the bill would not allow same-sex couples to adopt children.

ARLINGTON, VA. — The remains of four Navy servicemen killed in Vietnam were laid to rest in Arlington Cemetery on Thursday afternoon with full military honors, concluding a long journey home for the four men.
The U.S. Navy is planning to relocate a specialized attack squadron currently stationed on the eastern seaboard, leaving Washington D.C. and other large American cities vulnerable to electronic warfare threats posed by China, Russia, Iran, and other rogue nations, sources said.

It is against the law to have sex (or any other sexual act) with a person under the age of 12, even if they said yes.If one of the people having sex is between the age of 12 and 15, the other can not be more than two years older than that person. A 15 yr old (still a minor) can have sex with a 17 yr old (an adult).For example, in Victoria, Australia, the age of consent is 16.The law says that the minimum age is 12 and that there is a two-year "close-in-age" exception.In many areas, there is a "close-in-age" part of the laws.This allows for people under of consent but above a certain age to have sex with people as long as there older partner is either less than a certain age or the difference in age is a certain number of years.Many areas have different ages for homosexual sex as well as anal sex.There are areas which also have different ages depending on if the person is male or female.
The laws in different areas range as low as 13 yrs old to 20 yrs.It is not rape if the person is over the age of consent. Often there are other laws you need to be aware of but in this case rape is not one of them.Dating should be fine, but realize in some places holding hands or kissing can be considered sexual activities.The age of consent may also vary if one of the people is in a position of authority over the other.For example, if the older person was a teacher of the "victim", the age may be higher than for other people, an example of this is Indiana where the age where a person can have sex is 16 except if the older partner is a teacher at the "victim's" high school, in which case the age limit is 18. The ages of consent in the countries of Central America range from 14 to 18. These laws are situational and are subject to interpretation.The laws are almost always affected by a nation's culture. European countries generally range from 14yrs to 16yrs.In the United States, the age varies from 16 to 18.If a person is caught having sex, or any other sexual act, with someone who is below the age of consent, the person may be punished as a sex offender.The violator may be sent to prison, or jail, or fined.

A Missouri family is outraged after a federal judge granted a temporary stay for Missouri death row inmate John Winfield days before he was scheduled to be executed.
Convicted of killing two women in St. Louis County in 1996, Winfield was scheduled to die at 12:01 a.m. June 18.
One of several appeals from Winfield's attorney states concerns over a corrections department employee who wanted to write a clemency letter for Winfield but was allegedly intimidated by prison officials.
U.S. District Judge Catherine Perry issued a stay Thursday. It is unclear whether the state plans to appeal.
Friends of the victims told Fox 2 Now they are outraged by the decision.
A witness to the 1996 crime, Melody Donald, says she saw Winfield shoot and kill both Shawnee Murphy and Arthea Sanders.
Carmelita Donald, who was also shot by Winfield but survived, was left blind from the attack. The 42-year-old woman dated Winfield and the couple has a daughter together. The two women Winfield killed were Donald's friends.
“I wanted to be there,” she told NBC News of the June 18 execution date. She believes Winfield should die for his crimes.
The couple’s daughter, Symone Winfield, now 22, does not agree.
Symone, who was a toddler at the time of the murders, recorded a video asking for a stay for her father. She cited concerns about Missouri’s lethal injection drugs.
"My dad has been there for me at every step of my life, giving me encouragement, love, and support," Symone wrote in a sworn declaration distributed Wednesday by her father's attorneys. "I love him unconditionally and would be devastated if he were executed."
Symone’s stance has put her at odds with her family, NBC News reported.
"I love my mother dearly and have a relationship with her as well," she said. "I know how this has affected her and I am not excusing what happened."
She said no child should have to face the execution of a parent.
"I have questioned whether I could emotionally and mentally survive if I decided to go to the execution to sit on my dad's side and be there for him as he is killed," she said. "No child should have to grapple with these questions."
Her grandmother, Olivia Donald, called Symone’s actions “selfish.”
"To me, it's a little selfish. But I'm going to let her get over this," she said. "You're talking to a blind woman and the woman who took care of her."
"At the end of the day, they are still my mom. And my dad," Symone told NBC News. "I have an open relationship with my mom. She's entitled to her own opinion."

Team Murdoch Set To Sweep Into Action At World Championships
Olympic silver medallists Team Murdoch believe they have perfectly timed their return to the top of the game as they start their campaign at the Ford World Curling Championships in Edmonton which gets underway tomorrow (1-9 April).
Two time World Champion David Murdoch is pleased that his team is back where they want to be at a key moment in the curling calendar. They have a dual mission over the next nine days of qualifying Team GB for next year’s Winter Olympics, as well as representing Scotland at this World Champs and are seeking to put in a performance that will boost their own chances of going to PyeongChang in 2018.
“It feels good to be back at a World Championships. Things are going really well and we are in a good place,” said the 38 year old skip.
Murdoch was alternate for Team MacDonald at the 2015 Worlds, but before that it was 2013 since he and his team mates medalled, claiming a bronze. Since 2014, the Sochi medallists have taken on Canadian coach Ian Tetley in looking to re-discover their best form and winning the national championships again has helped to demonstrate that they are back on track.
“We didn’t achieve our curling goals over the last few years and as a result we broke down every aspect of our game,” said Murdoch.
“I have known Ian Tetley for some time – he is a three time world champion so brought a lot of experience and knowledge competing with and beating some of the best curling teams of all time.
“It took a year or so for him to get to know our system and to get to know the team to figure us out as individuals. It’s like introducing a new team member and we have certainly noticed a huge difference this year,” he said.
“He has made us think differently about things and is good at offering solutions. I think a good coach is there to offer ideas and support us and not to dictate and he has been great and helped us to improve.”
time Olympian Murdoch is about embark on his eighth World Championship campaign, having won the title in 2006 and 2009 but is heading to Edmonton with extra motivation this time around.
“I have been to seven world championships and it is always a tough field, that hasn’t changed from 2005 to 2017. This year there will be more professional teams. That is part and parcel of the Olympic process,” said Murdoch.
“For me having Grace my daughter has changed everything. Life is very different to the 10 years prior to her arrival. The primary focus was on me and me being selfish in order to get to the top and I have been very lucky to have the support of my wife and my family around me. Now I have to supply time and energy into this little person but at the same time she gives me a focus – I am now doing it for my family and not just me and having Grace has made me more relaxed – what will be, will be.”
Murdoch’s team of Greg Drummond, Scott Andrews and Michael Goodfellow are a tight unit both on and off the ice and they will be joined by Ross Paterson as their alternate, who plays for rivals Team Brewster but has played with Murdoch at a European Championships (in 2011).
“We are probably now at the peak of knowing each other really well and know how to get the best out of each other,” Murdoch observed.
“It is important for us to get to another Olympics, you wouldn’t do these four year cycles if you didn’t think it was obtainable. We are three years into the process and it is in our hands at this championship to get the qualification place. What happens after that who knows, but it is up to us to take advantage of this opportunity and showcase our skills and give it our best shot.”

Just as promised earlier this year, a coalition of conservation groups has filed a lawsuit in a bid to stop the federal government from removing grizzly bears from Endangered Species Act protection.
The lawsuit was filed this week by Earthjustice on behalf of the Natural Resources Defense Council, Western Watersheds Project, Sierra Club, Humane Society of the United States, Alliance for the Wild Rockies, Center for Biological Diversity, Great Bear Foundation, and the Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance.
The lawsuit claims that the decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove the grizzly's threatened status is in error because many threats to the bruin's survival in the greater Yellowstone region remain. The groups claim bear habitat continues to be destroyed, the overall bear population is too low to ensure survival, and that delisting would remove needed legal protections for the species.
Grizzly bears in the Lower 48 currently occupy about 1 percent of their historic range and number 1-2 percent of their historic population numbers.
"More than 270 scientists urged FWS not to delist the Yellowstone grizzly bear population because it is too small and isolated for long-term viability," the groups contend. "Long-term grizzly viability will require 2,000-3,000 bears in linked populations.
"To address this problem, the Fish and Wildlife Service proposes to truck bears from northwest Montana to Yellowstone to maintain genetic diversity in the population. The government's decision to delist will subject the bears to hunting in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana."
John Marvel of the Western Watersheds Project says "(T)rue grizzly bear recovery means reconnecting our current grizzly bear populations and not killing bears that are reclaiming public lands that could link bear populations."
Other threats are on the horizon, too. For instance, global warming poses a danger to whitebark pine trees, which produce a fat-rich nut that many bears consume in the fall before heading into hibernation. As temperatures warm, mountain pine beetles are moving higher and higher in elevation and pose a significant threat to these pines.
According to the conservation groups, "when whitebark pine seed cone crops fail, Yellowstone grizzly bear mortalities skyrocket and the number of grizzly cubs the following spring plummets."
"Fish and Wildlife Service recognizes that 20,000 polar bears are threatened by global warming, but has failed to acknowledge that grizzly bear habitat is also declining due to global warming,” says Louisa Willcox of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Additionally, the groups say that the Fish and Wildlife Service's delisting proposal would provide habitat protections for only 60 percent of currently occupied grizzly habitat in the Yellowstone ecosystem.
Under that plan, they add, "nearly 2 million acres of high-quality grizzly bear habitat would be open to increased motorized access, more than 630,000 acres would be open to logging, and more than 850,000 acres would be open to oil and gas development in the Yellowstone ecosystem."

The singer opens up to ET about this exciting time for Latin sounds.
Ricky Martin is ready for Super Bowl Sunday!
The 47-year-old performer spoke with ET's Kevin Frazier in Las Vegas ahead of his gig as co-host of the 20th annual Latin GRAMMY Awards about another big moment for Latin music in the coming months -- the Super Bowl halftime show featuring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira in Miami, Florida.
"Yeah, it's gonna be very special. I will be watching. I will be watching," Martin tells ET, before teasing, "Maybe I'll fly to Miami."
Martin teases that he could be joining Lopez and Shakira for the big performance.
"Maybe... I'll be there. I don't know, we'll see what happens," Martin says coyly. "But it's really nice when you can, you know, mix such a powerful event with sports, it's a very beautiful... and cultural event as well. And now the fact that they're opening the doors to Latin sounds to be part of the celebration, it's something that I'm having a really, really good time with."
When ET's Frazier presses Martin on whether he'll be there, he jokes, "What are you coming from? What do you know that I don't know? Is there something I don't, am I missing something? ...I don't know, let's see what happens. In the meantime, I know Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will do amazing."
Lopez herself recently teased the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show to Variety, noting she's already hard at work planning the event.
"I’m putting it together now. Me and Shakira together. We’re both excited to have been given the opportunity to do that, as two Latin women, in Miami," Lopez tells Robert Pattinson during an interview for the magazine. "I think it’s important in this day and age for two Latin women to be standing on that stage -- when Latinos are being treated a certain way in this country, or looked at a certain way -- to show that we have a really specific and beautiful culture and worth and value, and we bring something to this country that’s necessary. I think that’s going to be an amazing moment. That night, I want it to be a celebration of who we are. All of us, because we’re in this together."
While the Super Bowl is months away, fans can see some of their favorite musicians at this year's Latin GRAMMY Awards on Thursday, which Martin is excited to be co-hosting.
"We're celebrating music, diversity, we're celebrating everything that our culture has to offer, musically speaking," he tells ET. "And then I go back, I go back in time 20 years ago, where I had the honor to walk on stage with Gloria Estefan and Celia Cruz, and I get emotional. A lot has happened ever since. I mean, just to be able to bring our music, our language, all over the world and then to be recognized by your peers in the Latin GRAMMYs, it is a special thing, and I hope it's only the beginning."
Martin, alongside actresses Roselyn Sanchez and Paz Vega, will host the 20th annual Latin GRAMMY Awards live at 8 p.m. ET on Nov. 14 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, airing on the Univision Network.

|I.K. Inha's photos show Helsinki in 1908 - and they're free to be browsed and to used|
I.K. Inha (1865–1930) photographed city of Helsinki during summer 1908 on a commission from publishing company Werner Söderström Osakeyhtiö Ltd (WSOY). The company was planning on publishing first Finnish guidebook presenting the fast growing, blooming capital city.
During early summer mornings and quiet evenings Inha photographed Helsinki’s historical center, handsome new architecture, sea sides and parks. People and street life are not in the spotlight.
The guidebook, published in 1910, was edited by members of The Nation of Southern Finland. Inha’s Helsinki-series includes ca. 190 photographs: only one third was used in the original guidebook. Majority of the images were later published in the book Kukkonen, Jukka, Toiviainen, Riitta & Westö, Kjell (red.): Helsinki valon kaupunki – Helsingfors med I.K. Inhas ögon. Suomen valokuvataiteen museon julkaisuja 27 / WSOY 2009.

American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) is a lineage-focused political movement that seeks to advocate for people who are descendants of the enslaved Africans in the United States from its colonial period onward. ADOS have made reparations for the system of slavery in the United States a key tenet of their platform. They want colleges, employers and the federal government to prioritize African Americans who descended from American slaves, and they argue that affirmative action policies originally designed to help the descendants of slavery in America have largely been used to benefit other groups. The American descendants of slavery, they say, should have their own racial category on census forms and college applications, and not be lumped in with others with similar skin color but different historical experiences. One of its founders, Yvette Carnell, was a board member of “Progressives for Immigration Reform”, described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an anti-immigration group.
#ADOS was started by the brain trust of Howard graduate and host of the Breaking Brown political show, Yvette Carnell, and UCLA alumnus and attorney, Antonio Moore who hosts the weekly radio show Tonetalks. ADOS—which stands for American Descendants of Slavery—seeks to reclaim/restore the critical national character of the African American identity and experience, one grounded in our group’s unique lineage, and which is central to our continuing struggle for social and economic justice in the United States.
In his book, American Slavery, American Freedom, the historian Edmund Morgan concludes that slavery was not a contradiction of American freedom, but rather that slavery was the institution that made white freedom possible. In other words, slavery was not a mistake so much as a precondition for a societal hierarchy which requires descendants of slaves to remain a bottom caste and be made to suffer the necessary failures of a brutal economic system. This was followed by a Jim Crow-era that saw #ADOS become actual contagions that lead to a destruction of wealth; through federally-supported, discriminatory practices like redlining, black presence literally made wealth disappear in communities, all while American whites—and more recently, immigrants— enjoy advantage in a land of apparently equal opportunity that was in fact manufactured on the back of black failure.
According to Yale historian David Blight, “by 1860, there were more millionaires (slaveholders all) living in the lower Mississippi Valley than anywhere else in the United States. In the same year, the nearly 4 million American slaves were worth some $3.5 billion, making them the largest single financial asset in the entire U.S. economy, worth more than all manufacturing and railroads combined.”
Codified by government and exploited by private actors, the creation of an #ADOS underclass served as the financial engine of a nation that never recognized the debt it owed to the group as a result. As such, the #ADOS movement is underpinned by the demand for reparative justice in making the group whole, and as a necessary component in fulfilling the promise of opportunity from which, by design, ADOS have been historically excluded and denied.

Premier League questions: Will Manchester City or United claim fourth?
By Jack Wilkinson & James Walker-Roberts
Last Updated: 15/05/16 5:16pm
As the Premier League season reaches its climax, we look at some of the questions that should be answered by end of play on Sunday.
Will Arsenal finish on a high? And does that matter? (Arsenal v Aston Villa)
Would a big win over basement side Aston Villa send Arsenal fans into the summer with renewed optimism? How about a second-place finish?
That could still be possible if Tottenham lose to Newcastle, yet even 'St Totteringham's Day' would surely not be celebrated with the normal enthusiasm and glee.
Arsenal have finished above Spurs for the last 21 years but this season has been one of frustration for the Gunners. There have been protests against manager Arsene Wenger, empty seats at the Emirates in recent home matches and a sense of under-achievement.
If they finish with a thumping victory, as they should, it would no doubt be well received, but Arsenal's future will not be determined by this result. It will be determined, as it has been over the last few years, by what they do or don't do over the summer.
Will Claudio Ranieri receive recognition on his return to Stamford Bridge? (Chelsea v Leicester)
When the fixtures for this season were announced back in June 2015, the newly-crowned Premier League champions would have had an eye on this final-day encounter with the Foxes and whether they would need points to claim a second successive crown.
Nobody, however, would have envisaged that Leicester would head to London 31 points and eight places higher than the Blues, having already sealed the Premier League title with two games to spare.
The dramatic turnaround in both sides' fortunes mirrors that of Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri, who returns to Chelsea 12 years after being struck off for tinkering with his team too much and being replaced by Jose Mourinho.
The charismatic Italian returns to Stamford Bridge as a champion, and, as a guard of honour is formed pre-match, Chelsea will have their chance to show their former boss, and his team, the appreciation their stellar campaign merits.
Will the Toffees finally have something to cheer about? (Everton v Norwich)
The final day of the season usually throws up fixtures with little riding of them, and nowhere is this more the case than at Goodison Park on Sunday.
It all looks set to be a sombre atmosphere on Merseyside as managerless Everton, fresh from parting company with Roberto Martinez, host relegated Norwich in their last game before the Canaries drop back into the Championship.
The Toffees' form in front of their own fans - which has yielded just five league victories this term - was arguably the key to Martinez's downfall.
Martinez paid the price for failing to get the most out of his star-studded squad, as too did the Everton fans as inconsistency set it at Goodison.
Having drastically under-performed, the Everton players have the chance to draw a line under their season, and give their fans optimism for life under their new manager, whoever it may be.
Will this be Louis van Gaal's last Old Trafford outing? (Man Utd v Bournemouth - live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 2.30pm)
As a turbulent season at the Theatre of Dreams draws to an end, the questions that have hung over Van Gaal's future will no doubt resurface once the final whistle sounds on Sunday.
Add to the fact that Jose Mourinho - the No 1 contender for the United job - has pencilled in a July return to management and Bournemouth could be the last team to face a Manchester United side managed by the Dutchman.
Yet, for all the criticism levelled at Van Gaal, if results go United's way he could end the season back in the Champions League and having clinched a first FA Cup in 12 seasons.
While many people associated with the club baulk at the idea of celebrating a fourth-place finish, could qualification for Europe's elite-club competition, at the expense of rivals Manchester City, pave the way for a third season under Van Gaal's rule?
Spurs to seal North London bragging rights in the North East? (Newcastle v Tottenham)
A month or so ago, Newcastle were forced to close the general sale of tickets for this fixture to prevent scores of Spurs fans from populating the home end at their sides' potential Premier League coronation.
A first league title in 55 years may have evaded Mauricio Pochettino's men but they head to St James' Park with a prize in sight that, in the short term, would make up for missing out to Leicester in the title race.
Victory against relegated Newcastle would secure second spot behind the champions and, crucially, ahead of bitter rivals Arsenal - a feat last achieved in 1995.
Add that to the fact that Pochettino has committed his long-term future to the club and the pain endured at the 'Battle of the Bridge' will soon be forgotten, replaced by a renewed sense of optimism at the Lane.
Saints to go marching into Europe? Or will Palace halt their charge? (Southampton v Crystal Palace)
Champions League football may well be out of reach for Ronald Koeman's Southampton but qualification for the Europa League for the second successive season means that, unlike a number of final-day fixtures, there is plenty to play for at St Mary's.
The Saints are currently on course to seal a Europa League qualifying-round spot but such hopes could be derailed by the visitors long after they've left the south coast.
If Crystal Palace win the FA Cup against Manchester United next weekend, then Alan Pardew's men would take that qualification spot.
In-form Saints, however, will be keen to keep their destiny in their hands and will be confident of taking three points against a Palace side that will no doubt be without several first-team players ahead of the final at Wembley.
Will there be a post-Boleyn Ground comedown for the Hammers? (Stoke v West Ham - live on Sky Sports 3 HD from 2.55pm)
West Ham supporters will be gently nursing their voices back to full health after an emotionally-charged final night at the Boleyn on Tuesday.
Having given their iconic stadium of 112 years the perfect send-off with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Manchester United, Sunday's trip to the Britannia marks the start of the latest chapter in the Hammers' history.
The United victory left Europa League football within the grasp of Slaven Bilic's side, and what better way to see in the new era at the Olympic Stadium than by sealing European football in its maiden season.
However, with celebrations going on well into the night as the Boleyn received a fitting farewell, can the drained Hammers find the strength for one final performance?
Will Pellegrini leave City in a state for Pep? (Swansea v Man City - live on Sky Sports 2 HD from 2.55pm)
After three seasons and three major honours, Manuel Pellegrini's tenure as Manchester City manager comes to an end at the Liberty Stadium.
Having clearly prioritised City's Champions League campaign this term - during which they succumbed to Real Madrid in the semi-finals - there is still plenty of work for the Chilean to do domestically before Pep Guardiola takes the reins.
Defeat to Southampton and Sunday's draw with Arsenal had opened the door to Manchester United in the race for the top four, although the threat from their cross-city rivals diminished slightly following their midweek defeat at West Ham.
A consummate professional throughout, Pellegrini will be keen to end his reign with the same degree of integrity that has become synonymous with his tenure.
Avoid defeat in south Wales and fourth spot is secure for his successor. Defeat, however, opens the door to United and the possibility of Europa League football in Pep's first season.
Will it be a fond farewell for Flores? (Watford v Sunderland)
Depending how results go on the final day, Watford could finish as high as 11th or as low as 16th. Considering they've never survived a season in the Premier League before, wherever they finish from here on will surely be a success.
Yet the man who has masterminded the season, gelling together 16 new signings and 22 different nationalities at the start of the campaign, and also reaching an FA Cup semi-final, will be saying his farewells on Sunday.
Despite the club recently saying they are "extremely pleased" with Quique Sanchez Flores' work, it was announced on Friday that he will be leaving at the end of the season.
Flores will be the seventh manager to depart the club since the Pozzo family completed their takeover in 2012, and it is a decision few could have seen coming at Christmas when the newly-promoted side were seventh, three points outside the top four.
Perhaps, given they had five managers during the course of last season's promotion campaign, it should not be too much of a surprise to anyone though, including Flores.
Will any fringe players work their way into contention? (West Brom v Liverpool)
Jurgen Klopp hasn't been afraid to make wholesale changes in the Premier League while his first-choice Liverpool side have impressed in Europe.
With Wednesday's Europa League final in Basel looming - where the Reds can secure Champions League football next term - the German is expected to ring the changes for Sunday's trip to The Hawthorns.
It proved to be a decision that back-fired the last time it was implemented as Swansea put a youthful Liverpool side to the sword at the start of the month. Don't, however, expect the same this time around.
Few players have the chance to play in a European final and a decent performance against the Baggies could pave the way for a late surge into Klopp's plans on what could be another vintage night on the continent for the Reds.


Aaron Rodgers wanted desperately to get back to the Super Bowl, one place he has not been since he hoisted the Lombardi Trophy after the 2010 season. Since that moment, he has lost in the NFC Championship game three times and eliminated in the second round after a 15-1 season.
The team fell short yet again against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium, 37-20. It started bad and continued to be that way as they were down 27-0 at halftime before scoring a few touchdowns in the second half when things were pretty much over.
Shortly after the game, his girlfriend and former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, took to Instagram and shared a heartfelt message to him.
Proud. Beyond words.
Endings are always hard. But this season was still pretty amazing and we nearly had our bags packed for the super bowl. I will ever forget the good times we had. Thank you for the memories @aaronrodgers12 and squad. Something tells me this is just the beginning of a good long run for the @packers.

He moved to Houston in 1874, and was elected to the state House of Representatives in 1880, where he wrote the bill establishing the University of Texas. Hutcheson served in the U.S. House, Texas District 1, from 1893-97, and went back to practicing law in Houston. He died at his summer home near Chattanooga, Tenn., on May 25, 1924, a week after his 82nd birthday.

When his father died in October 1902, Sheppard was elected to take his place, taking office in November of that year. From the following year, Morris represented the 1st District when Texarkana was redistricted there; and he continued to serve until he resigned in February 1913 to take his place in the U.S. Senate, to which he had been elected to fill a vacancy.

In 1914, Black was elected to the House of Representatives for the First District, and served until 1929. He was a close ally of future House Speaker John Nance Garner, and served in several leadership positions in his term of service. In 1928, he was defeated for the Democratic nomination by a former supporter, Wright Patman. In 1929, he was appointed to the U.S. Board of Tax Appeals by President Hoover, serving there until 1933; he was appointed to this board again in 1944 by President Roosevelt, and served this time until he retired on November 30, 1953, but he was appointed the next day by President Eisenhower to serve on the U.S. Tax Court.

The Vancouver Chinatown Foundation has pledged $30 million to help build affordable housing in the Downtown Eastside in a new partnership with the city and Vancouver Coastal Health.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
The proposed 250-unit housing project is slated for 58 W. Hastings St., where a tent city has stood since early July. Mayor Gregor Robertson promised to build a facility with 100 per cent social housing at the site after meeting with area residents and housing advocates in August.
But as Mukhtar Latif, the city’s chief housing officer and CEO of the Vancouver Affordable Housing Agency, told Postmedia earlier this week, the problem has been coming up with the cash to build. The total projected cost is around $70 million.
Enter the Chinatown Foundation, which Latif said approached the city with an offer to help fund the project. The $30 million that the foundation plans to contribute would allow 125 units to be rented out at subsidized rates. Meanwhile, Vancouver Coastal Health plans to build an integrated health care centre in the building.
“This is huge. It’s a really creative partnership bringing to the table private foundations and health to create a really innovative new model of housing,” Latif said.
The project was chosen by the foundation because its members consider Chinatown and the Downtown Eastside to be one community, said Carol Lee, the chair of the Foundation’s board. The registered charity has yet to raise its significant contribution, but Lee was confident it could.
“It is kind of a bold move, but we thought that it was important to show that helping the Downtown Eastside would actually help us in Chinatown, and we think we can make it happen,” Lee said.
The health authority ‘s vision for the project is a culturally appropriate, 5,100-square-metre integrated care centre for local residents, said Laura Case, a chief operating officer for the health provider. The centre would be open every day of the week and have a focus on mental health and substance use — services aimed at preventing health complications.
“We did not develop this model on our own. This model was developed for the community,” Case said, adding that it took three years of consultation to get to this stage.
Robertson said he wants to see a rezoning proposal for the site by June 2017. But the city needs more partners to come to the table if the mayor is to keep his promise that every unit in the building will be social housing. For that, the mayor and city staff are looking to senior levels of government to chip in.
“Whether it’s seniors of Chinese descent in Chinatown who are living at old age pension rates in Chinatown — and their housing is disappearing — or it’s folks literally coming off the street or shelters, we have to have housing at that welfare rate to ensure those people are able to stay in the city that is their home,” Robertson said.
Meanwhile, more than a dozen tents remained at the site Thursday.
Robertson said he was not considering an injunction to force residents off the lot. But he does not want to see the tents there any longer.
“Conditions on the site have deteriorated significantly,” Robertson said. “Our main focus is getting people into shelters and housing, particularly with the winter looming. We want to make sure people are safe.”
The city owns the lot.
