When hip hop was first being created by DJ Kool Herc and his contemporaries in the 70s, New York was the place to be. As time has gone on, obviously, hip hop has migrated to various localities around the nation. Since the 80s, Philadelphia has produced some major names, both in terms of commercial hip hop and the underground. Everyone from Will Smith to Eve, Roots to Jedi Mind Tricks has called The Illadelph their home base. Continuing in that city's varied tradition is Japhia Life, with his new album, Nazareth. If youve never listened to Japhia Life, then get ready to hear stories of real life filtered through imaginative lyrics and beats that just might make your head nod.
You heard it here first. Japhia Life is officially releasing his new album 'Nazareth' on Tuesday April 6th, 2010. The album will be available on Christian hip hop stores on April 6th, and then in late April the album will be available on iTunes, Amazon, etc.

Good Neighbor Iowa aims to protect child health and water quality from the dangers of common lawn pesticides (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides).
Pesticides affect child development
Children are exposed to pesticides through their food, water, and the pesticides applied in their own back yards, school grounds, and the public parks they play in. Children’s unique vulnerabilities and frequent hand-to-mouth behavior can lead to significantly more exposure compared to adults. There may be rare situations where pesticides may be needed in certain landscapes (invasive species control, removing poison ivy, etc.) , but their use on the common turf for cosmetic purposes is entirely unnecessary.
A technical report, Pesticide Exposure in Children, 1 by the American Academy of Pediatrics offers a review of numerous studies linking prenatal and childhood exposure to pesticides with a variety of childhood cancers, chronic illnesses and neurodevelopmental and behavioral disorders.
“Prenatal, household and occupational exposures (maternal and paternal) appear to be the largest risks. …Children’s exposure to pesticides should be limited as much as possible.” – American Academy of Pediatrics
Many other findings in public health sciences point to similar conclusions:
- In 1987, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published a study that found that households and garden pesticide use can increase the risk of childhood leukemia as much as seven-fold.2
- In 2007, a comprehensive review of literature by the Ontario College of Family Physicians concluded, “Studies looking at pesticide use and cancer have shown a positive relationship between exposure to pesticides and the development of some cancers, particularly in children.”3
- A 2010 meta-analysis of 15 studies on residential pesticide use and childhood leukemia found an association with exposure during pregnancy.4
- Two reports by the Pesticide Action Network North America outline a comprehensive review of published studies on pesticides and children:
A Generation in Jeopardy: How Pesticides are Undermining Our Children’s Health & Intelligence.5
Kids on the Frontline: How Pesticides are Undermining the Health of Rural Children 6
There is no justification to expose children to pesticides for cosmetic purposes.
Pesticides affect water quality
The warnings on containers of common lawn weed killers often say: “This product is toxic to fish and aquatic organisms.” And yet, the reality is that some of the herbicides applied to turf do end up in local streams. Monitoring studies have shown that pesticides used on lawns are detected in urban streams, and often in higher concentration than in streams draining agricultural regions. 7
After the province of Ontario, Canada, banned cosmetic lawn pesticides, a study found that weed killer concentration in urban streams was significantly reduced. 8
Who Sprays the Most?
This map of Cedar Falls, Iowa illustrates the variation in residential lawn weed killer use in different neighborhoods. The most sprayed neighborhoods are indicated by red. The map also reveals that water is always nearby.
A conservative estimate of lawn weed killers applied annually on school grounds, parks and residential yards in Cedar Falls, Iowa has shown that at least 2,860 pounds of active ingredients, mostly 2,4-D, MCPP and Dicamba are applied in this community. 9
This is entirely unnecessary and preventable.
We invite school officials, park managers and grounds staff to:
- Act on what we already know from studies in public health sciences outlined here.
- Eliminate pesticide use for cosmetic purposes on general turf areas. Diverse lawns will not hurt anyone, but herbicides can.
- Be a Good Neighbor. You can demonstrate to your community that creating healthy lawns without herbicides is practical, saves money, protects children, provides pollinator habitat, and protects Iowa’s streams.

In this subtle use of words, Thomas is already indicating that Time is actually in charge. Morgan, The Oxford History of Britain, Volume V: The Modern Age, : Press, 1992. The sun is always shining and though there are clouds, the sky is blue. One interesting example may be found here:. This sense of conviction, of important work to do in a political or social context, is completely lacking in the works of Dylan Thomas.
Now that we've reached the end of the second , we're starting to realize it looks an awful lot like the first. Schmoop make many references to the rhythm and musicality of the poem. Along with personification comes the presence of metonymy, which is especially vivid when discussing time. But the continuation of movement into the night, as the boy hears the owls and nightjars, suggests a mysterious and unending vitality in nature itself. Though it is rarely seen, in this poem there are many half-rhymes boughs, towns… , but that is not what is most important. The patterns established in the first two stanzas—the syntax, the indentations of the lines, have shifted.
His memory came back when he became an adult. The opening lines of stanza four remind the reader of the ambivalence characteristic of this stage of human development. Imagery of pain, diseases, decay and death as well as sexual imagery are also frequent. This was a wonderful, care-free time, when Thomas' innocence and joy was paralleled by the beauty of the farm. © Jenna Jauregui and Something Says This, 2009-2014. A second level of meaning, however, gives amplification to the huntsman-herdsman paradox. In these final four lines, the speaker acknowledges that their childhood is in the past, and, like the barn, will never return.
The poet uses a typical fairy tale formula in the language and structure of the poem to further emphasis the childish love he has for Fern Hill. Setting Fern Hill poem was written in 1945 by Dylan Thomas, first published in the October, 1945, Horizon magazine, with its first book publication as the last poem in Deaths and Entrances. Greens, golds, rivers, stars—it's all popping up again and again, to create a dreamlike sense of this youth's pastoral world. Thomas was born at home in the Uplands district of Swansea, Wales, on October 27, 1914, the second child and only son of middle-class parents. In contrast, the poem ultimately equates time and aging as chains that imprison us. Lines 15-18 And green and golden I was huntsman and herdsman, the calves Sang to my horn, the foxes on the hills barked clear and cold, And the sabbath rang slowly In the pebbles of the holy streams.
It practically takes over the poem. To some degree this scene is a typical idealization of nature, suggesting that children would be happy and well-adjusted if left alone by adults and society. Or something your life depends upon. My response to Fern Hill taking each question in turn. So far, the poem's been all about the land, and suddenly the sea's singing. Things were easy, beautiful, and awesome.
In other words, despite his strong start, time winds up being a real jerk. One critic suggests that darkness might also refer to God the Father who is described in the Book of Genesis as making the world out of nothing. This in turn led me to his website and a short but lovely piece of writing about Thomas. Thomas was the archetypal Romantic poet of the popular American imagination—he was flamboyantly theatrical, a heavy drinker, engaged in roaring disputes in public, and read his work aloud with tremendous depth of feeling and a singing Welsh lilt. The sound of the church bells was mingled with the sound of the water flowing over the pebbles of streams. So what does that mean? His nostalgia really shines through, all in that one word. By using that word, Thomas keeps the line quick and perky try inserting valley instead, and you'll see what we mean.
In addition, he combines clichés to create a surprising new way to present an idea or feeling; each cliché alone would attract no attention, but the unusual blend with its word play becomes an intriguing and playful simile. Daughter Aeron followed in March, 1943. These expressions of mystery and power move to a climax in stanza four. Golden will also reappear in the poem. That's a whole lot of similar ideas, with a few shakeups here and there. The stanza is replete with fertility symbols: sun, hayfields, chimneys, watery, fire, stables, nightjars, horses, and flashing.
Despite his basic differences with T. There is the kind of image he had made fully his own, consisting of a familiar phrase given a surprise twist; happy as the grass was green, once below a time, all the sun running. When the boy woke up in the morning, the farm also returned to its location. So at the beginning of the poem, we've got a footloose and fancy free youth, but by the end, we're left with an older, wiser, sadder speaker. The personification of time stood out first. The speaker name drops the first man, Adam, and the maiden, Eve.
Essentially a romantic poet, he is trying to communicate an experience which is almost beyond expression. It went far deeper than I did: Their analysis is written for a young audience but it works. The word windfall means prematurely fallen. Imagery Imagery is the tool writers use to paint a picture with their writing. These are all good things, and tonally consistent with the mood of being young and healthy. I think this such an interesting question. What do they remind you of or how do they make you feel? Thomas evokes time references to age, time of day, movement of the sun, seasons and other natural references, and use of verb tense and place descriptions of the farm and its natural surroundings in fairly direct ways.
Robert Zimmerman Bob Dylan is a huge fan and often read his poetry when he was younger. At the end of the story, there is a standoff between Zaroff and Rainsford in Zaroff's bedroom. It's a bit jarring, too, which is an effective reminder that it's about time we wake up. Unlike his contemporaries, and , Thomas was not concerned with exhibiting themes of social and intellectual issues, and his writing, with its intense lyricism and highly charged emotion, has more in common with the Romantic tradition. His father was a schoolmaster in English at the local grammar school. But in this case, the setting takes front and center of the poem, as if it were the poem's main character or central idea. Can you hazard a guess as to what they mean or allude to? There are many references to his childhood being care-free, innocent and without any responsibilities.

Alexa has a new feature that lets you follow music artists. Doing so will result in your Echo devices letting you know when that artist releases something new. The alerts come in as standard Alexa notification, which means your Echo’s LED light ring will light up yellow and you’ll need to say “Alexa, what did I miss” or “Alexa, read my notifications” to hear the message. To follow or unfollow an artist, simply say “Alexa, follow/unfollow [artist name].” You can also follow and unfollow artists by visiting their page in the Amazon Music mobile app or web player.
This is great if they can get it to work right and keep it working. Rhapsody did it then dropped it. Spotify used to do it then stopped it.
A couple of questions. Can Alexa tell me which artists I’m following? Seeing a list in the Alexa app would be ideal, but I’d settle for a verbal listing from an Alexa device.
Any way to ask Alexa for the latest album by a followed artist?
I did a little bit of experimenting and found it’s quite simple to find the latest album by an artist. Ask Alexa “what’s the latest album by [xxx]”.
I still would like to see a list of all the artists that Alexa recognizes that I’m following. Over the last 2 days I’ve added about 200 artist. I’d like to make sure Alexa is ready to notify me of new releases by any of them. Maybe I’ll just have to wait until one of them releases a new album and see if this notification service really wors.
Just asked Alexa “what was [xxx’s] latest album?”
Still searching for a list of artists I’m following.
Pretty cool feature.
That is pretty stupid, I am pissed.. Why would they do this. I have been getting stupid notifications all day that I DO NOT WANT.
Every day for the last year alexa/echo line has gotten worse and wors.
I have 12 echo dots 2 shows 2 flexes 4 fire tv and 3 fire sticks, alexa glasses, alexa recast, an alexa LG8 and other alexa products
I used to be a huge fan of Alexa product now I feel like I am ripped off.
HOW DO I DISABLE GETTING THIS “FEATURE”
WTF alexa has just said the artist you are following bla bla bla….I don’t even know who this artist is I’ve never followed anyone there name is Peter xan and alexa won’t recognise their last name so I can’t unfollow them are they on the app so I can physically delete their ass of my alexa
Received a notification from Alexa suggesting an author and then asked me if I would like to follow said author. I said no, it said “now following *author’s name*.” I said “unfollow *author’s name.” It said “hmm, I don’t know that one.”

|Omar Albach (center) and his team are trying to disspell the notion that Muslims are scary. He travels across North America to film reactions towards Muslims by Canadians and Americans.|
There's a video that a hit on the viral stream. A group of entertainers wanted to do a What Would You Do? segment about Canadians feelings towards Muslims.
They film in downtown Ottawa to see how some would react towards a man chastising a Muslim.
Last week there was an apparent attack on Parliament that killed a solider standing at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. The solider who was identified as Nathan Cirillo was killed by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau (formerly known as Michael Joseph Hall), who Prime Minister Stephen Harper condemned as a terrorist.
Zehaf-Bibeau was killed by the Sergeant at Arms who was the head of Parliamentary security.
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Nathan Cirillo.
The junk food media in America has already put a high alert on federal institutions this week in preparation for the U.S. Elections and holiday shopping season. The controversy has sparked conservative outrage towards President Barack Obama. The president condemns this attack but fails to mention Islam as the factor towards terrorism. That's gotten the conservative agitators and the racist right livid.
They conclude that the president is afraid to say terrorism. Of course, the very same ones who demand the president give credit to George W. Bush for the 2011 raid in Pakistan that led to capture of Osama bin Laden.
Not all Muslims wear formal garments. Most of the extremists have attacked wearing Western clothing. Notice that 9/11/2001 attack in the United States, 7/7/2005 attack in the United Kingdom, and the 12/25/2009 attack in Detroit. The individuals were dressed normal and acted normal.
Well Omar Albach had found out that Canadians are pretty tolerant. Well almost tolerant.
During filming a man assaulted one of the entertainers who was harassing the Muslim actor.
The Huffington Post reports that York University student Omar Albach assembled his cast — a young man dressed in Muslim garb and another pretending to be a Muslim-hater — the idea was simple: to gauge how average Canadians felt about Islam in the wake of several high-profile incidents.
Over and over again, the Muslim character was heckled loudly by the other character and told he couldn't get on the bus due to a terror threat.
|Filming in Downtown Ottawa. Two actors who portray a Muslim and a bigot confront each other. They are trying to see if Canadians react towards them.|
Canadians appeared to have no taste for the Islamaphobia he was peddling. What's more striking perhaps is the setting Omar Albach, who is of Palestinian descent, chose for his social experiment — Hamilton, Ont.
That's where the body of Nathan Cirillo was laid to rest this week in a moving ceremony that drew onlookers from across the country. The soldier was killed by a lone gunman while guarding the National War Memorial in Ottawa the week before. The suspected gunman, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, was quickly denounced by the prime minister as a terrorist.
One of the crew members, the young man pretending to hate on the ostensibly Muslim man, later identified himself as Devin Giamou.
It seems, he felt the need to join the YouTube comment fray to clear things up.
"I'm the guy that got punched in the video, I thought I would clarify a couple things," he wrote in the video's comment section. "I'm not actually a racist asshole like I portrayed in this video. I knew the guy who played the part of the 'terrorist' and he's a cool guy who played his part very well."
Responses to his clarification range from correction — "Islam is not a race" — to approbation — "Please keep doing thought-provoking videos like this."
Posted on YouTube on Monday, the video has already been viewed more than 270,000 times. But this isn't Albach's first viral video. That distinction belongs to a video the 18-year-old produced in the summer, called "Hug A Terrorist."
|Albach created the Hug A Terrorist video to see reaction from Canadians.|
Following the shootings, the downtown core of Ottawa was placed on lockdown while police searched for any potential additional threats.
The attack took place two days after another attack on military personnel in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, which also killed a Canadian soldier. Prime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper said both of these attacks serve as a "grim reminder that Canada is not immune to the types of terrorist attacks we have seen elsewhere around the world."
Ottawa, Ontario is the national capital of Canada and second largest city in the province. The population of the city is 894,000 residents.

The Land Deal Politics Initiative (LDPI) is offering 25 grants of US$3,000 each to researchers based in/from the Global South who have undertaken original empirical research on land grabs.
More than a decade ago, the Land Deals Politics Initiative (LDPI) was launched as a loose network of scholars and activists concerned about the rise of land, water and green grabs across the world and the consequences for rural livelihoods and agrarian relations. A massive wave of investment in land, resulting in expropriation and displacement had emerged following the financial, food and energy crises of 2008-09. We wanted to understand what was going on and how best to respond.
The global debate around land deals has diminished in the last several years, but important research and political questions remain.
- What happened to the hundreds of land grabs documented by researchers, non-governmental organizations, activist groups, news media, and aid agencies?
- What new configurations of land, labour and capital have emerged since?
- How has the rise of authoritarian, state-led populism and politics re-shaped the tensions between ‘foreignization’ and extraction?
25 research grants
This call invites applications for small grants to support research and writing around old and new themes related to land grabbing, aiming to understand the contemporary dynamics of land and resource ‘grabbing’.
Twenty-five grants of $3000 each are available to researchers based in the ‘Global South’ who have undertaken original empirical research and wish to write this up.
Application deadline - 31 May 2023
Full paper due date - 15 January 2024
Full details of the LDPI, the call and how to apply can be found in the document below.
Successful applicants will be informed by 30 June 2023 and full papers will be due by 15 January 2024.
Full papers can be co-authored with others, including researchers who are not from the Global South. The aim is to publish the papers online in the LDPI Working Paper series and share them at a major international event to be held in Colombia in March 2024, which will include researchers, activists and policymakers from across the world.
We hope to be able to facilitate attendance of successful grant applicants to the event.

Was it just another store, just another business thats closed its doors
One of the first and most noticeable business to close in the Oswego area was Lowe's home improvement, and now Dominicks Grocery store has closed its doors leaving the Chicago area.
To most people the effects of a business closing is only a matter of inconvenience to them and they just shrug it off and go on about their lives as if nothing has happened.
But a business closing isn't just another business that failed and closed its doors, theres more to it than that, there are the people who had jobs that these businesses provided which once gave those who worked there the ability to make a living, to feed their families and have a home to raise their children in. Those people working in those businesses that have closed use to feel secure, thinking that as long as they worked hard and showed up at work every day that they would have a steady source of income that they could depend upon.
I too, use to look at a business closing its doors as just another business that for some reason couldn't make a go of it but now its a little more personal, my neighbor worked at one of those businesses for many years which now has closed its doors and while I don't know what changes this will mean for him in his life this time a business closing hit a little closer to home.

Lalu Yadav, a name which has been added to different controversies in the political spectrum of Bihar and India since he first appeared on the political scene in the Jaiprakash movement. nitish Kumar was also part of the movement. Since then he has been a key player in the Bihar politics.
Fodder scam which has been a famous scam of Bihar where multiple chief ministers and state functionaries were accused in the scam. He has been an influential political figure who remains a leader of the strong coalition government. His political rule as a chief minister in Bihar is famous for its lawlessness and absence of governance. The case of fodder scam was an incident in the 90s when Bihar and Jharkhand were one state.
He has been to jail during this case which is being handled by the high court, Ranchi. his story of forming his own party after being separated from the Janta dal is a curious tale in the political circles. Lalu Yadav, who branded himself as the leader of downtrodden and lower caste, has time and again found doing just opposite in his entire political career.
Lalu Yadav of Bihar
During his stint as chief minister, he was accused of protecting criminals and goons. His party has a history of fielding candidates with criminal background. The famous example would be Shahabuddin from Siwan who is still in jail for cases lodged against him of murder, extortion etc.
Recently, JDU, RJD and Congress formed a coalition government in Bihar of which Nitish was elected as leader and chief minister after they wan the election in Bihar defeating the BJP. The BJP which found itself in the opposition since day one attacked the BJP and his family illegal property cases in the media and public. They found a way to attack the ruling government.
The Political Play Of Bihar
The political play in Bihar is too mixed up to be understood in a linear fashion but what runs in all this drama is a common thread to be in power, stick with the winner. The reasons why the party is formed and dissolved are not strong enough to be discussed in public because they have a common symmetry of having the high probability of winning in the election.
Another, Recent incident which is again related to JDU and RJD SI when Nitish Kumar decided to dissolve his coalition government and form a fresh government with the support of BJP. this again came as a shock to many especially Lalu Yadav who could not have anticipated such move from the Nitish Kumar. The games of political parties are too complex to the general public but very clear to the public in the time of voting.
The man who a few months back is finding himself in jail for charges that he thought were forgotten by the judiciary and public. The scene outside the court and the tweets of Lalu Yadav were the only highlights of the day when the Fodder scam judgement from CBI court came out. Jagannath Mishra, the former chief minister was set free while Lalu Prasad was found guilty. The Public waits for an answer and judiciary have delivered its verdict.

A California environmental group has sued the nation's largest school bus operator, claiming that it failed to meet the state's standards for toxic air emissions and disclosure, and that it falsified emissions tests. Environmental Law Foundation filed court papers yesterday alleging that Laidlaw workers were ordered to make buses appear cleaner than they are. Recent years have seen a flurry of research into the effects of diesel exhaust from school buses. The particulates and toxins have been shown to accumulate inside buses, and the pollution has been linked to asthma and other ailments in school children. The research has led many states, school districts and other jurisdictions to upgrade buses with better pollution controls and cleaner fuels, according to a May 16 story in The San Francisco Chronicle.

One Direction & Little Mix 2012: Harry Styles may get grabbed by the ghoulies in his haunted house & Little Mix reveal TLC collaboration
However, Harry and his mates may find that at any parties he hosts, there may be an uninvited guest in the form of legendary Highwayman, Dick Turpin, whose ghost is said to haunt the mansion that Harry’s bought.
The Sun reports, “The 18-year-old singer is forking out £3million for the four-bedroom property — which backs on to a pub frequented by Turpin and his gang in the 1700s.
“The outlaw’s ghost is claimed to have been seen inside the house, and the sound of his famous horse Black Bess heard outside.”
A source said that the house is “well known to locals as being haunted, and added, “The ghost of Turpin has been spotted in the window — and according to legend you can hear the sounds of his horse Bess’s hooves…
“Locals say he used to hide in the courtyard next to the pub waiting for his victims to come down the road before robbing them.”
Harry bought the house in Primrose Hill so as to be closer to his friends including Radio 1 breakfast host Nick Grimshaw who owns a home in the area.
And talking of friends, Little Mix have revealed that their buddy T-BOZ from band TLC have collaborated with them on their new album.
“They were a strong girlband with a positive message and global success, just like we aspire to.
“Having T-Boz feature on our record is just incredible. It blew our minds!”

text: Under continuous white light (WL), extension growth of the first internode in Sinapis alba L. was promoted by low red (R): far-red (FR) ratios reaching the stem and-or the leaves. Conversely, the growth promotion by end-of-day light treatments was only triggered by FR perceived by the leaves and cotyledons, while FR given to the growning internode alone was tatally ineffective. Continuous WL+FR given to the internode was also in-effective if the rest of the shoot remained in darkness. Both the background stem growth, and the growth promotion caused by either an end-of-day FR pulse or continuous WL+FR given to the internode, increased with increasing fluence rates of WL given to the rest of the shoot. The increase by WL of the growth-stimulatory effect of low phytochrome photoequilibria in the internode appears to be mediated by a specific blue-light-absorbing photoreceptor, as blue-deficient light from sodium-discharge lamps, or from filtered fluorescent tubes, promoted background stem growth similarly to WL but did not amplify the response to the R:FR ratio in the internode. Supplementing the blue-deficient light (94 μmol·m(-2)·s(-1)) with low fluence rates of blue (<9 μmol·m(-2)·s(-1)) restored the promotive effect of low R:FR reaching the internode.

Georgia-Pacific awards $7,000 to area hospital
MONTICELLO – Georgia-Pacific Monticello recently presented a grant of $7,000 to the Lawrence County Hospital as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to safety and strengthening quality of life in the local community.
“Georgia-Pacific knows that quality medical care often can’t wait, and it is good to know that we can get medical care that we need right here in Lawrence County,” said Ray Melick, public affairs manager for Georgia-Pacific’s Monticello mill.
“We believe this investment in the Lawrence County Hospital is an investment in quality of life for all of us that live and work in this area.”
Lawrence County Hospital administrator Semmes Ross accepted the check for the hospital. Ross said the money will be used in the physical therapy department, which needs a Hivomat machine to assist in reducing pain and decreasing swelling in patients receiving therapy.
“The staff of Lawrence County Hospital appreciates the continued support of the Monticello Georgia-Pacific mill,” said Ross. “We continue to expand our programs and capabilities to provide the best care possible for this area.”


It is good to see Peace Arch News taking the initiative and running a three-part series on cannabis.
However, the credibility of both pro- and anti-commentators was hardly balanced and journalist Nick Laba should caution against that.
A professor from UBC was quoted regarding the lack of facts surrounding any loss of food production locally. His arguments were legitimate and backed by evidence.
Unfortunately, the opposite person from Maple Ridge made numerous unsubstantiated errors in his comments, including that the majority of legal cultivators are non-compliant because of odour.
That is not the case according to Health Canada, which has inspected and approved every facility across the country.
Furthermore, to claim that cannabis is a narcotic is false. Cannabis is not an opiate and there is no lethal dose for it which is the reason why no one has ever died from taking it.
If there is to be valid debate, then the discussion points must be both factual and free from hysteria and hyperbole.

March 28, 2014
BRIDEGEPORT, Conn. -- The Providence College men's hockey team exploded for three second-period goals en route to a 4-0 victory over second-seeded Quinnipiac in NCAA First Round play at the Webster Bank Arena (6,529).
With the win, Providence (22-10-6) advances to the second round and will face top-seeded Union tomorrow, Saturday, March 28 at 3:00 p.m. in a game that will be televised on ESPN2.
Sophomore goaltender Jon Gillies (South Portland, Maine) made 37 saves for his fourth shutout of the season, while Mark Jankowski (Dundas, Ontario) scored what proved to be the game-winning goal. Trevor Mingoia (Fairport, N.Y.) finished with a goal and an assist as 10 different Friars notched points on the night.
Michael Garteig made 22 stops for Quinnipiac (24-10-6) as the Friars became the first team this season to shut the Bobcats out. It was Providence's first NCAA win since the 1991 tournament.
The Friars took a 1-0 lead when Jankowski tapped the puck in at the far-post at 3:37 of the first period. Mingoia tracked down the puck behind the Bobcats' goal on the forecheck, before finding freshman Connor MacPhee (Windham, N.H.) in the right face-off circle. With a cross-crease pass, MacPhee found Jankowski, who collected his 13th goal of the season on the play. Mingoia collected his 10th assist of the season on the play, while MacPhee tallied his fourth.
Just minutes later in the first period, sophomore John Gilmour (Montreal, Quebec) sent classmate Brandon Tanev (Toronto, Ontario) on a breakaway with a neutral zone pass that split the Quinnipiac defensemen. Tanev entered the zone one-on-one with Bobcat goaltender Michael Garteig, who made the save on Tanev's forehand move to keep the score 1-0 with 12:25 left in the first frame. Tanev's follow-up found the post and was ruled no goal after an official review.
Gillies saw 11 shots on goal during the first period of play, including a 2-on-1 play, that Gillies made a standup shoulder save on to keep Quinnipiac scoreless after 20 minutes of action.
Providence extended its lead to 2-0 at 5:10 of the second period when freshman Anthony Florentino (West Roxbury, Mass.) fired a high blocker side wrist shot past Garteig for his fifth goal of the season. Florentino received a pass from Tanev, who collected his ninth assist of the season on the play.
The Friars continued to turn up the heat as they took a 3-0 goal lead on a Shane Luke's (Dauphin, Manitoba) rebound goal at 8:06 of the second frame. Junior Ross Mauermann (Janesville, Wis.) entered the offensive zone flying, driving the Quinnipiac defense back as he dropped the puck for senior Kevin Hart (Cumberland, Maine) to one-time. Garteig made the initial save on Hart's shot but could not get over in time as Luke collected the rebound and fired home for his 10th goal of the season.
While on the power-play, Providence tallied its fourth goal of the game at 16:19 of the second to take a commanding 4-0 lead. As he broke free of his defender, Mingoia deflected an airborne pass by sophomore Nick Saracino (St. Louis, Mo.) in for his fifth goal of the season and his second point of the night. Sophomore Tom Parisi also tallied an assist on the play.
Gillies and the Friars kept the Bobcats scoreless during the final period of play to earn the victory. With 37 saves, Gillies collected his ninth career shutout. Providence finished the game with 26 shots on goal. The Friars' special teams played a critical role in the win, notching one power-play goal as well as keeping the Bobcats scoreless in their two man advantage opportunities.
The Friars will face Union tomorrow (March 29) at 3:00 p.m. at Webster Bank. The game will also be televised on ESPN 2. The winner will advance to the Frozen Four in Philadelphia, Pa. from April 10-12.
Playing in their first NCAA Tournament since 2001, it was Providence's first NCAA Tournament win since a first round, game one win over Minnesota in 1991 (4-3) ... Mark Jankowski became the first Friar with and NCAA goal since Adam Lee '01 netted one versus Wisconsin in 2001 ...

Tunable, soft, and multifunctional robots are contributing to developments in medical and rehabilitative robotics, human-machine interaction, and intelligent home technology. A key aspect of soft robot fabrication is the ability to use flexible and efficient schemes to enable the seamless and simultaneous integration of configurable structures. Here, we report a strategy for programming design features and functions in elastomeric surfaces. We selectively modified these elastomeric surfaces via laser scanning and then penetrated them with an active particle–infused solvent to enable controllable deformation, folding, and functionality integration. The functionality of the elastomers can be erased by a solvent retreatment and reprocessed by repeating the active particle infusion process. We established a platform technique for fabricating programmable and reprocessable elastomeric sheets by varying detailed morphology patterns and active particles. We used this technique to produce functional soft ferromagnetic origami robots with seamlessly integrated structures and various active functions, such as robots that mimic flowers with petals bent at different angles and with different curvatures, low-friction swimming robots, multimode locomotion carriers with gradient-stiffness claws for protecting and delivering objects, and frog-like robots with adaptive switchable coloration that responds to external thermal and optical stimuli.

Track download from Jerry: Cook & Green Pass to Lilly Pad Lake.gpx
We set out at 8:00 AM for our drive out to the end of Applegate Lake and up the gravel roads (9.8 miles) to the TH at Cook & Green pass(4,770').
This hike up the PCT is a steady ascent up to 5,900'+ for lunch through the gate at Horse Camp and views of Kangaroo Mtountain, down at Lily Pad Lake and the white back of one of the Red Buttes.
We had excellent hiking weather as it was 62o for our 9:30 start up the trail and never went past the mid 70s with an occasional cooling breeze on our way back down.
The area is a bit of a rock star in the botanical world with lots of diversity of plant life attracting enthusiasts from far and wide. But on Monday we had the trail mostly to ourselves. Late summer growing conditions offer nothing like spring, but we did see some color along the way, including pink Fireweed, bright yellow Sulfur Buckwheat, white anemone, orange paintbrush and lush green ferns in the shady forests.
Distant views were covered in haze probably coming from the Mountain fire in California, but our views on and off trial were spectacular! We had overhead views of both Echo Lake and Lily Pad Lake (covered with the floating aforementioned flowers). And, of course, the majestic Red Buttes were a breathtaking sight to see as we turned north up the trail. The PCT winds around the base of the Buttes, then looks down on Lily Pad and finally a short uphill delivers us onto the old forest service road and a left turn towards the gate and lunch!
We had a couple of surprises on our way to lunch. First, we nearly stumbled over a guitar in case, straddling our path; then a while later we came across a guy waving and asking if we saw a guitar. We told him where we saw it so hopefully he found it! Then at lunch a hiker from France came by asking us about the names of the mountains around us. When we identified the Red Buttes he said he had climbed the Alps and would climb the Buttes!
After our group shot we started to head back. When we got to where the service road crossed the PCT our small group split up. Jerry and Randy took the old Forest Service road back to the TH. They are planning a new hike which includes driving up the FS Road, then hiking the PCT about 5 miles to Azalea Lake (Good Hiking, Guys)!
Bob, Patricia and I took the PCT back the way we came and enjoyed the scenery and the shade. Jerry and Randy arrived back at the TH first having gone 8.1 miles with about 1,400' of gain. The final three arrived about 10-15 minutes later having done about 9 miles and 1,500'+ of gain.
We finished our long day of road and trail with a visit to Boomtown in Jacksonville.

Terry Collins gets ejected in the first inning by plate umpire Doug Eddings.
Terry Collins portrayed his first-inning argument with plate umpire Doug Eddings that led to his first ejection as Mets manager as strictly about getting the call right and not designed to get ejected and get his team jumpstarted.
Eddings ruled catcher Mike Nickeas had not held onto a tipped third strike, which gave Angel Sanchez more life in his at-bat.
“I didn’t think about that at the time,” Collins insisted after the Mets’ 9-1 win, referring to trying to fire up his team and the fans. “I just wanted the call correct.”
David Wright didn’t sound so sure.
“I kind of had the feeling over the last couple of games that it wasn’t going to take much,” Wright said. “But that’s just what Terry brings to the table. He’s been great at having his finger on the pulse -- what’s been going on in the clubhouse, kind of the mood of the team. So I think that he wants us to bring that energy. He wants to lead us with that energy. A lot of it had to do with trying to get the fans into it, trying to get us into it and kind of bringing that energy.”
Nickeas said he did not need a replay to know he held onto the ball.
“I was very surprised, and obviously a little surprised [Eddings] wouldn’t go get some help,” Nickeas said. “And I think that’s what frustrated TC. But things like that sometimes spark a little energy and a little emotion into the game.”

CongrCrewZ is an Artist who now considers himself a 'Cosmic Rapper' in terms of music. His parents are of Colombian descent, although CrewZ was born and raised in Long Island, New York. He moved to South Florida in the middle of his junior year of high school. At that time he was in a Hip-Hop crew called 'Jay-Dk' consisting of his friends and cousins. His move down south forced him to become a solo artist and explore new aspects of himself to create new music. At 18, CrewZ was introduced to the practice of meditation which he claims "raised the frequency of his intelligence" which affected his style of rapping and exposed him to new subject matters to write about. His goal is to introduce to the world a new wave of Hip-Hop he calls Awareness Rap. CrewZ defines this genre of music as "Expressing what you know to be of beneficial growth to human consciousness into a unique rhythmic flow". The foundation of this genre is based off of unity, compassion and unconditional love. CrewZ is determined to show the world just how beneficial this type of rapping can become to the human mind. CrewZ feels as the collective consciousness of humanity continues to evolve toward a more positive and truth seeking type of world, Awareness Rap fits perfectly for those who love and enjoy the style and culture of Hip-Hop. CrewZ grew up on many genres of music, however, was mostly influenced by Hip-Hop music.ats on the new baby boy! Zen Angel Crewz

Broadway Blip: Funny Girl
The composing team of Jule Styne (music) and Bob Merrill (lyrics) was never more potent than when they teamed for Funny Girl. The semi-autobiographical musical about the rise to fame and ill-fated romance of vaudevillian Fanny Brice crackled and sparkled, thanks particularly to the electric score and the indelible performance of Barbra Streisand. Isobel Lennart crafted the musical’s book, mostly an episodic tale of the ins-and-outs of Fanny’s struggle to be taken seriously as a female comedienne in a time where that was taboo, and her star-crossed romance with (and marriage to) professional gambler and con-artist Nicky Arnstein.
Funny Girl opened at Broadway’s Winter Garden Theatre on March 26, 1964 and ran an impressive 1,348 performances. It was nominated for a slew of Tony Awards, but lost in all categories to the season’s juggernaut Hello, Dolly! Jule Styne and Bob Merrill were nominated for Best Composer and Lyricist, a fitting honor since the original cast album was so popular that that it went on to be inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2004. A Broadway revival has yet to materialize for Funny Girl, perhaps because Barbra Streisand’s association with the role is iconic. The specter of her performance would loom over any proposed revival. Still, a popular 2015 revival starring Sheridan Smith at London’s Menier Chocolate Factory inspired whisperings that a Broadway revival is imminent. The London revival featured tweaks to the book by Tony-winner Harvey Fierstein.
Funny Girl’s success in the face of Hello, Dolly! is a bit of a surprise. Not many musicals can boast winning zero Tony Awards and yet managed to run over 1,000 performances. Barbra Streisand was of course part of its success, but the show ran long after she had departed the production. Time hasn’t been kind to Isobel Lennart’s book which was never the strongest aspect of the production to begin with. It has always been the score of Funny Girl, above and beyond all other aspects of the show, that has remained evergreen. It is impossible to thin about the show without breaking into “Don’t Rain on My Parade”, “I’m the Greatest Star”, “People” or “The Music That Makes Me Dance.” Bob Merriil was an effective collaborator and he was never more on his game than when he was paired with Jule Styne.

[Cones at Honeymoon Suite in Los Angeles, CA, photo credit to Tyler Parker]
Los Angeles-based sibling duo Cones, made up of brothers Jonathan and Michael Rosen, have shared the second single from their upcoming album Almanac, called “Big Bad.” Almanac will be released on August 5th, 2022 and previous released singles include “Malice Palace.”
Jonathan Rosen comments on “Big Bad”:
I wrote ‘Big Bad’ at the start of the pandemic. At the time, I was listening to a lot of Cleaners From Venus and watching a lot of Buffy. Just like most people, I was stuck in my home, where each day stretched into its own small eternity. A vampire is an infected creature, forced into an eternity of solitude – seemed like a perfect analog to our collective fears of contagion and isolation. We recorded the basic tracks live at Michael’s LA studio Honeymoon Suite, which was the first time I got to see people other than my brother in months. The saxophone (recorded in Australia by Zach Stolz) screeches like the brakes of a Cadillac, its melodic contortions perfectly capturing everything we hoped to convey in the song.
Jonathan and Michael Rosen intentionally make “far-out, addictive pop music”. Jonathan, the band’s singer and principal songwriter, is also a middle school art teacher and a visual artist whose trippy hand-drawn animations and drawings have been styled for artists such as Erykah Badu, Toro y Moi, Pond and Eleanor Friedberger, and is a contributing cartoonist for The New Yorker magazine. Michael is a classically trained pianist, composer, and Producer who carefully crafts their recordings at his Los Angeles studio Honeymoon Suite, and additionally works as a software engineer at THX in the world of spatial audio.

MPs have spoken out against Government plans to exclude small businesses from the 5p carrier bag charge in a parliamentary debate this morning (10 March).
In the debate, Dan Rogerson MP refused to acknowledge the concerns raised by both MPs and business groups, making no comment on the widespread support for a universal carrier bag charge.
ACS has called for all businesses to be included in the ban to ensure consistency for retailers and consumers alike. Under Government plans, businesses with fewer than 250 employees will be exempt from the ban.
ACS chief executive James Lowman said: “Compulsory carrier bag charging is a policy that works. It significantly reduces carrier bag usage, it saves retailers money and it generates money for good causes. We agree with MPs on the committee that exempting small businesses from the 5p charge will create confusion for retailers and customers alike.”
A universal carrier bag charge is already in place in Wales and Scotland, with carrier bag usage being reduced by 80% over the last three years in Wales alone.
Lowman said: “Ministers’ aim to not add regulatory burdens on small business can be achieved through exempting them from the reporting requirements only. We will continue to press Ministers to change their plans for a small business exemption.”
MPs debated the Single Use Carrier Bag Charge Order (2015) this morning (10 March) in a delegated legislation committee.

Contrary to the belief that Milton Keynes is a concrete jungle, there are several beautiful parks, gardens and lakes in Milton Keynes.
It has vast expanse of places where you have trees in all their beautiful colours before the advent of winter.
Most of the main roads in CMK are connected via small walkways and even those have foliage that shows its true, beautiful colours in Autumn.
Hope some of the pictures of Milton Keynes taken in November will justfy what I am saying.

SULLIVAN TWP. — In a matter of minutes, a close game turned into a rout for Brooklyn as it knocked off Black River 60-39 in Patriot Athletic Conference cross-division boys basketball action.
The Pirates (0-3, 0-1) knotted the score at 11 early in the second quarter, only to watch the Hurricanes (2-2, 1-0) go on a 21-3 run to end the first half.
John Schnear (10 points) got the ball rolling for Brooklyn, answering a game-tying basket from Black River guard Zach Sword (11 points, 11 rebounds) as six different players scored during the run.
“Sometimes we get a little ahead of ourselves,” said Brooklyn coach Jon Holko, a Wadsworth graduate. “When we do that, we need to get back to fundamental basketball. And when we got back to fundamental basketball — our basketball — we dictated the pace and the tempo of what we wanted to do. I think that gave us a boost of confidence and put them in a hole they couldn’t recover from.”
While the Hurricanes seemingly couldn’t miss during their big scoring outburst, the Pirates had trouble holding on to the ball.
“When you get the wind out of your sails — and we can’t let the wind get out of our sails — it’s tough,” Black River coach Cynthia Berry said. “Basketball is a game of momentum, and we keep talking about that. You’re going to make runs, and it got away from us pretty fast there.”
Back-to-back triples from Sword and Stephen Zumack narrowed the margin to 13 with 4 minutes to play in the third quarter, but that was as close as Black River got. Brooklyn reeled off the next seven points to push the lead to 40-20.
Hurricanes center Michael Byndas (12 points, 8 rebounds) dominated early, muscling inside to score the game’s first six points. He might have posed even more problems for Black River had Caleb Stiver not been able to draw four charging fouls against him.
“I truly believe he is one of the best players in the conference,” Holko said. “But, to this day, he has not played like the best player in the conference. When he gets into foul trouble early because of some bad decisions on his part, it hurts us. When he’s on the floor, we’re a different ball team.”
Byndas sat the majority of the second half after picking up the fourth charge midway through the third quarter.
Black River didn’t score until the 4:19 mark, when Jerod England split a pair of free throws, and didn’t knock down a basket until Zumack hit a jumper 1:19 later.

A Bold Return for Madonna
Madonna is jumping back into the mainstream with new album, tour and lots more
A Rolling Stone cover story. A full week stint on Ellen. A newly announced tour.
And that is only the half that will be a part of Madonna’s promotional campaign for her forthcoming 13th solo album Rebel Heart, which drops on March 6.
Since a few demos of new music leaked in late December, the pop music icon pushed up the release date for a new album. That album became Rebel Heart. ”Living for Love,” the album’s first single, comes with a disco-meets-gospel throwback vibe, something akin to her classic pop roots. It’s not a masterpiece, but a decent return to familiarity. After serving up sass on the song’s build-up and playing with her familiar religious-sexual innuendo (“Made me feel like I was born again”), a booming looped thump and bold piano chords then enters into the mix. Add in the fervent gospel chorus on the backing vocals and the song feels like it was partially inspired by “Express Yourself” and C+C Music Factory.
Since the single surfaced, Madonna has been hard at work promoting the hell out of the album’s arrival. Live performances of “Living for Love” at the Grammy Awards and her first return in over 20 years to the BRIT Awards (where she suffered an onstage slip-up) magically appeared.
Madonna has also been making headlines lately for attacking ageism as she laments at the vicious social media scolding she endures for being a 56 year old female. ”It’s still the one area where you can totally discriminate against somebody, and talk shit,” she told Rolling Stone. “Because of their age. Only females, though. Not males.”
She went on to compare ageism with homophobia. ”No one would dare to say a degrading remark about being black or dare to say a degrading remark on Instagram about someone being gay,” she said.
Apparently Madge doesn’t know that racism and homophobia is just as rampant as ageism, but we forgive her. She probably isn’t as hip to social media as we think.
Madonna kicks off her 35-city Rebel Heart tour in the US and Europe on August 29 and will include a host of American cities like Miami, New York City, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta and Los Angeles.

Eleanor Brown’s latest novel is nothing like The Weird Sisters, but it is every bit as wonderful. Madelaine lives an unhappy life in 1999 Chicago, and her grandmother Margie lives out her dreams in 1920’s Paris. The story moves back and forth between the two characters who are connected by their temperaments and hopes for their lives, as well as by blood. Madelaine is married to Phillip, a rich and controlling man who tells her how to dress, what to eat, and how to behave. Margie is a spinster who is sent to Paris to chaperone a younger cousin with better prospects. When the cousin runs off with a man, Margie decides to stay in Paris and pursue her wish of becoming a writer. Madelaine gets to know her grandmother through her journals, and is inspired to change her own narrow existence for the life that she wants.
— Sharon K. Nagel
Inspired by reading her grandmother's 1920s Paris journals of awakening to the light of seeking her artistic passion as a Jazz Age writer, trophy wife Madeleine leaves a loveless marriage to embrace her long suppressed desire to fulfill her life's purpose of becoming the artist she has long dreamed of being. This is a beautifully written story of a woman's courageous journey into self-discovery by a talented writer who vividly portrays characters and settings that will fully engage readers. I loved Madeleine's spirit!

A WELSH Wetherspoon pub has been fined for not providing enough rubbish bins.
Magistrates in Bridgend heard a litter problem had been caused outside the Wyndham pub, in Dunraven Place, Bridgend, because of a lack of "waste receptacles".
Wetherspoon, which is famed for its low-cost drinks and family-friendly environments, was ordered to pay a #500 fine with #75 costs.
A spokeswoman for Bridgend County Council, which brought the prosecution, said, "The council is committed to stamping out unsightly trade waste in our town centres."
County set for 2.9% tax rise
HOMEOWNERS in Carmarthenshire could be facing one of the lowest increases in council tax in Wales.
A 2.9% increase is being recommended by the county council's executive board.
Council leader Meryl Gravell confirmed the decision yesterday after a multi-million-pound efficiency drive over the past year, achieving savings of #2.5m.
"We have worked very hard over the last year to increase efficiency across all departments, without reducing services," she said. "Over the past few years we have managed to keep our council tax rises to some of the lowest in Wales."
Water mains work to start
DWR Cymru is to start work on a #765,000 water improvement scheme in Carmarthenshire.
The scheme, which is scheduled to start on February 23, will involve renewing and relining 15.3km of water mains in the Tumble and Crosshands area.
Investment manager Andrew Swift said,"All customers whose water supplies will be directly affected by the work will receive an information pack.
"We are doing all we can to keep disruption to a minimum and we hope that people will bear with us whilst we carry out this important and essential work takes place."

What are the icons of the future?
“Nowadays, our ecological footprint has grown such that we require an average of 1,6 earths (~3,4 for the Netherlands) to maintain our consumption patterns. This is not a sustainable situation and greatly impacts our future. Consequently, when thinking about icons of the future, rather than questioning what such an icon would look like, the more important question is, what will the world around the icon look like?”

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is named after Steve Carrell’s main character, but don’t let that fool you- this is Jim Carrey and Steve Buscemi’s movie, and a nice reminder that Carrey’s rubber face can still elicit laughs. It’s also proof that a post-Office Carrell has to find fresher movie material.
Wonderstone follows the downward career trajectory of Carrell and Buscemi’s Siegfried and Roy-esque duo as a new ‘extreme’ street magician played by Carrey takes their popularity and audience share. Wonderstone struggles to stay relevant and keep a job, and along the way re-discovers his love of magic with a little help from his old inspiration, played by the delightfully sarcastic Alan Arkin.
It’s a bit of an odd time for a comedy skewing magicians. It may have been relevant back when people cared about street magic (Carrey’s character is a less-than-subtle jab at Criss Angel), but 2013 is too late to be focusing a movie on the crazy antics of cable TV magicians, even later for larger-than-life Vegas performers. David Copperfield was in one scene, but you’d be forgiven for forgetting his cameo, or even knowing he was there in the first place.
But many of the problems don’t involve the premise. Carrell struggles to keep up the story line of the moive, lapsing in and out of the silly dramatic persona of his character at times when the scripted persona is needed to carry the scene. Next to Carrey, Carrell’s attempts at pulling a silly face just seem bad. The romantic sub-plot involving assistant Olivia Wilde is even more forced than Carrell’s mugging; the end result could be seen miles away and is built on such a flimsy premise that it’s almost insulting.
But hey, there’s a pretty good movie underneath all that! Carrey is hilariously over-the-top and his mannerisms are a nice antidote to Carrell’s blandness, though some of the body humour is fairly cringe-worthy. And Buscemi brings a cool and reserved confidence to his role that we can thankfully still expect from the veteran- one gag involving his character on a misguided charity trip is still making me giggle.
Your tolerance may vary on Carrell, and even Carrey if you can still swallow his schtick, but Wonderstone is an inoffensive and fitfully funny film. It’s more Dinner for Schmucks than 40-Year-Old Virgin, but if a light comedy is what you’re looking for, you could do a lot worse.
