Dulce et Decorum Est By: Wilfred Owen Authors Biography • Owen was born on March 18, 1893. • On October 21st, 1915 he enlisted himself to become a soldier due to peer pressure. • He served in the British army during WWI. • He was an English poet. • Owen is considered one of the top WWI poets. • His poem was based on his personal experiences as a soldier. • After two traumatic events Owen met Siegfried Sassoon who had an incredible impact in his life & inspired him to develop his war poetry. • Owen was shot trying to cross a canal on Nov. 4th 1918 near the village of Ors & this event defined his death. Wilfred Owen Grave Siegfried Sassoon Place of death Poem Structure • The title is a partial quotation from the longer “Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" which can be translated to “it is sweet and right to die for your native land.” • The ballade is made up of 3 stanzas of 8 lines with the rhyme scheme ABABBCBC, and a final 4line envoy with the scheme BCBC. • The title is in the Latin words taken from an ode by Horace. (poet of Ancient Rome, 65-8 BC) • • This poem can be understood as two sonnets though the spacing is irregular. Owen uses more rhymes than this, and breaks up his stanzas irregularly into 8, 6, 2, and 10 lines plus a couplet. • Owen’s objective is to show the horror and the reality of war, which in this case is the First World War. • The tone of the poem is very harsh due to the choice of words and how they are used. • The poem is similar to the French ballade form, the poem consists of 28 lines which is the number of lines used in the French “ballade” structure. • Ballade is a form of medieval and Renaissance French poetry. (not to be confused with ballad) Poem Diction For example words that show ugliness, fear, and pain: • • • • • • • • “coughing like hags” “cursed through sludge” “limped on, blood-shod”, “floundering like a man in fire or lime” “guttering, choking, drowning” “white eyes writhing” “blood come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs” “vile, incurable sores” • • • • • • Words that show his own feelings & contrasts it the way war has been presented: “vile” “bitter” “cursed” “obscene” “Ecstasy” “Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge” Vocabulary • “hags” – female like witch figures • “cursed through sludge”- a battle field of mud, explains how hard it was to move through the battlefield • “limped on, blood-shod”-covered in blood • “floundering like a man in fire or lime” - lime is a white chalky substance which can burn live tissue. • “guttering, choking, drowning”forms of pain. • “cursed” - to afflict with great evil • “blood come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs” - corrupted can be argued that the young men were corrupted into fighting in the war and killing others. • “obscene”- disgusting to the senses. • “bitter” – unpleasant. • “vile” – bad. • “Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge” - referring to old people, and it was difficult to move through the mud. • “Ecstasy” - a state of being beyond reason and self-control. Poetic Devices • A commonly used phrase, is “bent double” & is an example of a hyperbole. • Poetic form serves to symbolize the breakdown of the society's value system. • Enjambments in lines 3,5,7,17,21,23,26, and 28. • Metaphor: “drunk with fatigue” • “GAS! Gas! Quick, boys!” creates an impression of urgency and panic. • At the start of the poem, the soldiers are approached to old, crippled ugly beings: “Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, / Knock-kneed, coughing like hags”. • Simile: “Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.” -The thick greenish glass of the gas mask, and the greenish fumes of the gas make the narrator feel that he was viewing an underwater scene. • Another use of simile: “like a man in fire or lime” -Expresses the burning and the pain caused by the mustard gas when it comes into contact with their skin, eyes and mucous membranes. More Similes • “His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin” - If a devil becomes sick of sin, he is questioning everything that has been seen as value, and realizes his whole life has been for nothing, perhaps Owen is implying that in the same way, the dying soldier is questioning everything he has been told about the sweetness of dying for a cause. • "bitter as the cud" imitate "those who die as cattle", words used by Owen in his poem “Anthem for Doomed Youth”. - The soldiers are being led to slaughter like helpless animals, where the dying soldier is being treated more like an animal carcass than like a human being, not from cruelty, but because nothing else could have been done in that situation. This picture shows how hard it was to move through the battlefield due to the mud. Gas Mask Trenches Alliteration • “Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge” • “Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots” • “And watch the white eyes writhing in his face” - The use of alliteration adds to the insistent tone of the poem. • Owen is saying, “Hey! Look! I want you to look at this and remember!” - He says this so that it is impossible to turn away and think of other things. Groups of Imagery • • A – tiredness, sleep, dreams, a nightmare world: “Men marched asleep”, “Drunk with fatigue”, “In all my dreams”, “If in some smothering dreams”, Owen apparently suffered from nightmares, perhaps as a result of shellshock. C – loss of coordination: “Bent double”, “Knock kneed”, “Drunk with fatigue”, “fumbling”, “clumsy”“stumbling”, “floundering”, “writhing” • • B – the sea and drowning: “Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light / As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.” “He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.”, “gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs” D – loss of the ability to use the senses, or a denial of the senses: “turned our backs”, “marched asleep”, “all blind”, “deaf even to the hoots”, “my helpless sight” Analysis Dulce et Decorum Est is a poem written by English poet and World War I soldier Wilfred Owen in 1917, and was published posthumously in 1920. From 1913 to 1915 he worked as a language tutor in France. He felt pressured by the propaganda to become a soldier and volunteered on 21st October 1915. He spent the last day of 1916 in a tent in France joining the Second Manchester's. During war he was blown up, concussed and suffered shell-shock. On 4th November he was shot and killed near the village of Ors. He is known to be the greatest war poet who had written in the English language. Owen's poem is known for the condemnation of war. His poem was the best known poem of the First World War. Lines 1 and 2 Owen talks about how they are like “old beggars” and are “coughing like hags” he is saying that they feel old and since they are soldiers that are young and fit, for Owen to describe them in those terms must have meant that they were really tired. In lines 3 and 4 the soldiers turned away from the lights and noise of the war and headed back in the direction of their camp. In line 4 he used “trudge” to emphasize that it was really difficult moving because of the mud like if it had rained. Line 5 he explains how they are so tired they are barley conscious enough to walk. Continued.. In the second stanza he indicates that there had been shells which had landed near them , didn’t explode but started letting out poison gas, which happened to be mustard gas and also describes how one man wasn’t able to get his mask on before he started to inhale the poisonous gas, he writes how he saw the man suffering as if he couldn’t swim and started gulping in water, and eventually drowning. In lines 15 and 16 he is half talking about the present, and half about the his past. He is remembering the man who died slowly and painfully in front of him, and also his post-traumatic flashbacks to this moment. In lines 17 and 18 he is saying that no one can actually try to understand how they felt, it was one of those moment were you just had to be there, the best someone can do is experience the nightmare at a distance. Line 19 is a use of alliteration and assonance with the “w” and “I” sounds. The line “like a devils sick of sin” is kind of twisting because if the devil lives to sin, saying he is sick of it is saying that there is no longer a purpose for his existence. In the last 4 lines Owen is calling out propaganda artists, and poets that urged people into war, in particular Owen Seaman who wrote “Pro patria”, explaining that before the war young men had the anticipation of excitement for the first battle, the shock of the WWI was how miserable war and death really was, which is referring to “The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.” Perhaps then the mustard gas can be seen as a reflection of the poison of the war itself. Quiz 1. When was the Owen born? 2. Who made a great impact in Owen’s life? 3. Which war is his poem based on? 4. What does the poem title translate to? a) “It’s sweet and wrong..” b) “It’s sweet and right..” c) “It’s sweet and dark..” d) “It’s sweet and harsh..” 5. What kind of tone does this poem have? Why? 6. How many stanzas does this poem have? 7. In the begging of the poem who are the soldiers being compared to? 8. How many guys were affected in the poem by the poisonous gas used in the war? a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 9. What kind of gas was exposed to the soldiers? a) chlorine gas b) gasoline c) body gas d) none of the above 10. Provide one simile from the poem.

3 Contribute to this Resource
3.1 Why contribute?
We don’t want this to be just another resource. Rather, we want it to be your resource. If there are things that trip you up or cause you frustration, chances are you’re not alone. Everyone comes to this course with different backgrounds and expertise. Being able to collect all that knowledge in one place is this resource’s mission and you can help move that mission forward.
3.2 What to contribute
The focus of this resource is the coding aspect of data visualization using R. It is not meant to substitute for course lectures or provide much theory about exploratory data analysis and visualization. We want to make it easy for students to find what they need quickly to produce a particular kind of graph. We are open to a wide range of contributions but we do have some ground rules:
We are happy to receive original work that will help someone else. For example, if you worked out how to use a function that is not documented well, or mastered a type of graph that was difficult to get right, please share! On the other hand, if good tutorials already exist, there’s no need to repeat the work. Just submit a link to the resource with a short description to the appropriate chapter.
And of course don’t forget to cite your sources by providing links.
3.3 Ways to contribute
There are many ways you can contribute:
For large or small ideas, without providing the code submit an issue (very simple, much appreciated)
For simple changes contribute on GitHub (this can all be done on GitHub.com… we’ve got a full walkthrough explaining how)
For more complex changes install Git and and work locally. Detailed instructions can be found in our Git/GitHub Resources chapter (the next level, also much appreciated) – adventurous users may solve an open issue (more advanced/open-ended)
3.4 Submit an issue
If your proposed change is more complex, consider letting us know by submitting an issue. Maybe you have a great idea for a brand new chapter, something we have not covered but would like to see here in this resource (a new chart page, say; or a walkthrough using a specific tool/package). It may be a little too complicated to contribute directly. What to do? Submit an issue, of course!
Issues are tasks you can post to a GitHub repo that people can then take on and fix. They can be small (“this link is broken” / “add this resource”) or complex (“I would love to have a chapter on…” / “reformat this code chunk in this way”). Once posted, issues can be taken on by anyone.
You do not have to know how to code up your issue; from fixing a bug to proposing a resource we should link to, we appreciate any feedback you have and will take it all into consideration.
How to submit issues:
- Go to our GitHub repo and click on the Issues Tab
- Click on “New Issue”
- Propose your Issue and click “Submit new issue”
- That’s it! We appreciate your input and will take your issue into account in improving this resource.
Notes about submitting issues:
- Make sure your changes are not already an open issue (so as not to have redundant issues)
- Please thoroughly explain your proposed change when posting a new issue
- Consider using labels to specify the kind of issue, such as “bug”, “enhancement”, “help wanted”, “question”, or create your own.
- For more info, please consider reading the Open Source Guide on how to contribute.
3.5 GitHub only walkthrough
You will need to create a github.com account if you don’t have one, but you do not need to install git locally.
Note: This is a full walkthough that follows a hypothetical student that spots a typo and uses a pull request to fix it. Although the instructions are written for proposing a change to this book, they apply to making changes to any repo. Navigate to the file you wish to edit, and click the pencil button:
Do not click the fork button on the home page of the repo. Then jump ahead to Step 4 below.
One way to contribute to this resource is to contribute directly by editing a chapter. At the top of every page of this resource, you will see an icon that looks like this: . Clicking it will open a new tab where you can edit the markdown for that page on our GitHub repo and submit your change as a pull request. Essentially, you will create a copy of our repo, make your desired changes, and suggest to us that we include them. If we approve of your changes, they will be rendered and published to the site.
Contributing directly in this manner works best if the change you are proposing is something relatively small, such as a typo/grammatical error or an unclear phrasing/explanation. In general, it doesn’t work well to propose changes to code directly on GitHub.
Ok, we’re good to go. Get ready to hit lots of big green buttons! One last thing: remember there’s no way to make changes to someone else’s repo unless you submit a pull request and the owner merges it. So don’t be afraid to act like the repo owner and click to edit files. You will be editing a copy of the files; it’s ok!
Step 1: Find something to change
I’m pretty sure they meant to write “repository” here. Oops. Let’s fix it for them! That’s not how you spell “repository”! Let’s fix it.
Step 3: Fork the repo
This is our first edit to the repo, so GitHub shows us a page like the one below. No worries! We just hit the big green button labeled Fork this repository and propose changes and we’ll be good to go (as you will see, big green buttons are our friends). Note: you will not have to fork the repo every time. If you propose another change in the future, the edit icon, , will jump you directly to this point of the walkthrough. Haven’t forked the repo before? No worries; the big green button will solve everything.
Now that we have successfully forked the repo, we can see the code for the page we want to edit.
Note: That little blue blurb at the top is spelling out what is happening/going to happen: we have made a copy of a repo because we don’t have write access to it . So, after we make our change on this page, we will inform the owners of the repo about our edits by using a pull request. GitHub can be super overwhelming, but it will try its darndest to inform you what will happen along the way. Ready to edit the code. The blue blurb is worth reading.
Step 4: Fix the typo
Let’s fix that embarrassing typo! We update the code right in this editor, include an explanation for what we changed/why we made the change, and then hit the big green button labeled Propose file change. Gotta love those big green buttons! Make your edits, include a quick explanation, and hit the big green button.
Step 5: Comparing changes
Now GitHub is once again helping out by letting us review the changes we made. On this page we can review our proposed changes by scrolling down and looking at the diffs. Our fix is very simple so there isn’t much to see. Once again, we are going to push the big green button, this time labeled Create pull request. This will start the process of letting the authors know that we would like them to include our changes (in git-speak, we are requesting that the collaborators do a
git merge to update their files with our proposed changes.) Note that the proposed changes are in a branch called patch-1 on our repo; we are asking to merge them into the master branch on their repo.
Chance to review your changes. Once satisfied, hit the big green button to start a pull request.
Step 6: Open a pull request
Here we are at the pull request page. Notice the green checkmark that says “Able to merge” (a good sign that everything is going smoothly). Now we explain our pull request with some comments and, once again, hit the big green button labeled Create pull request.
Note: You may be asking, “Why do I have to type this explanation in again?”. This is because the explanation we wrote in Step 5 (where we edited the file) is a commit. We could have had multiple commits at once that we wanted to bundle into one pull request. This step is a way to explain the pull request as a whole. It is redundant for us because our change is so small and only has one commit. Still totally lost? This GitHub Guide on Understanding the GitHub Flow is an incredibly helpful read and our GitHub Resources page also has a lot of helpful links. Explain your pull request and hit the big green button.
Congratulations are in order! We have successfully opened a pull request on a GitHub repo! Now one of the repo owners (like the guy writing this tutorial, for example ) has to decide if they want to include your pull request or not. In this case they’ll certainly approve it, but know that they may decide against adding your changes. For more info, read the section of the Open Source Guides on what happens after you submit a contribution.
Note: Be aware that the icon shown below may initially be yellow to signal that some tests are being performed to check the conflicts of your proposal with the original repo. It should turn green if everything passes. We did it! Now the maintainers will review our changes and get back to us…
And now we wait…
What’s this!? We have received an email from one of the repo owners, Zach Bogart. And it says that they merged the change! Huzzah! We click on the number to take us back to the pull request we opened. We got an email! And it says they merged! Click that number to see the updated pull request.
Here we are at the updated pull request page. Notice that everything has turned purple. Purple is the best color to see on GitHub; it’s the color of victory. It signals that our pull request was merged with the repo, meaning our change has become part of the repo! Also, notice the button that says Delete branch. Since all the work on our branch was merged with the repo, it has served its purpose and can be deleted safely. Everything is purple! Woot! Can safely delete our branch
Now if we go back to the main page of the repo, we can see our merge was the most recent addition. And, if we scroll down, we will see that
github_resources.Rmd, the file we edited, has been updated recently and it shows our commit message “fix typo”. We did it! Let’s check out the site to see our change published for the whole internet to see!
Look! There’s our merged pull request added to the repo!
And the edits we made to github_resources.Rmd!
There it is! We go back to the page we edited and now our typo fix has been included!
Note: The changes will take several minutes to appear on the site after notification of a successful merge. This is because we use Travis CI on the backend of our repo and it takes a little time for it to re-render the site pages. If you want to learn more about how you can use Travis CI to auto-magically generate your work, checkout our section on Hooking Up Travis to a GitHub bookdown book in the Publishing Resources page. Look at that! It’s published! So many exclamation points!!!
We contributed to a GitHub repo! Hooray! Time to celebrate!
Looking ahead: the next edit
If you have a second edit to propose, simply follow the instructions again. As noted above, the second time through you will not be asked to fork the repo again. If you look closely at the pull request for the second edit, the branch to be merged will be named patch-2 instead of patch-1. Although GitHub keeps mentioning “your fork” as you proceed through the process, this is not really something that you have to concern yourself with. In fact, you’re better off not! In fact, you should stay away from your fork – that is, your copy of the
EDAV repo in your GitHub account, because it will inevitably get behind the main one and cause you trouble if you work on the old version and then try to create a pull request. So, the bottom line is, each time you have an edit to propose, go directly to
https://github.com/jtr13/EDAV and start the editing process there, not on your fork!.

Most couples hope that they can successfully co-parent their children after divorce, but it is often easier said than done. While you want to put your children’s best interests first, it is difficult to set aside your pain and anger you feel toward your ex-spouse.
It is important to understand that how well your children adjust to divorce often depends on how well you and your ex-spouse co-parent after the divorce is finalized. Communication between the parents is essential, especially if you have very different parenting styles. Below are a few tips on how to avoid conflict when co-parenting:
Different Parenting Styles
If one parent has always followed the other parent’s lead in raising the children during the marriage, that parent will feel the freedom to do as he or she wishes post-divorce. Thus, it can be hard on the children if one parent enforces strict rules about bedtime, homework, chores, etc. while the other parent is very lax about those matters. If your divorce has not been finalized, you should consider including agreements regarding diet, bedtime, education and other important matters in your divorce decree.
If this is your situation post-divorce, you and your ex need to discuss it openly and without judgment. Try to find middle ground that you can both agree upon. For example, if the lax parent agrees to enforce the bedtime during the week, the strict parent will agree that the children can stay up later on the weekend. This type of compromise is often difficult for couples who have had a bitter divorce, but if face-to-face negotiations is difficult, work it out by email. Make the attempt, and if it doesn’t work, contact your divorce lawyer for assistance.
Fear of being away from your children
This is a tough one, but unless there is a fear of abuse or other danger to your child’s safety, you have to let go of worrying about your children while they are in the other parent’s custody. Realize that while the other parent may not do everything exactly the same way you do, he or she is keeping your child safe.
Don’t use your child to hurt your ex-spouse
Without even realizing they are doing it, divorced parents often put their children right in the middle of their fights. Your children are not pawns to be used against each other. Denying the other parent time with your children doesn’t just hurt the other parent, your children suffer too. Thus, it is important to try to view each situation from your child’s perspective.
Don’t break agreements
If you agree to a certain arrangement with the other parent, do your best to stick to it. This includes being on time for visitations, providing information to the other spouse about where the children will be, and numerous other matters. You don’t have to give in to a co-parent that is being a “control freak,” but when you negotiate an agreement, stick to it.
There are many other things you can do to keep things civil when co-parenting. However, if you run into trouble and you need help, give us a call. Contact the knowledgeable attorneys at the Men’s Divorce Law Firm. Our office is located in Orlando, Florida, but we proudly serve husbands and fathers across the State.

The Good Dinosaur (2015)
IMDb plot summary: An epic journey into the world of dinosaurs where an Apatosaurus named Arlo makes an unlikely human friend.
Directed by Peter Sohn. Starring Raymond Ochoa, Jeffrey Wright, Frances McDormand, and Steve Zahn.
Let me get this out of the way first: This movie looks gorgeous. It's incredible animation. The scenery is stunning, and the characters themselves always look so great against it. There are so many beautiful shots in this movie, so if you like animation or visuals, it's probably worth seeing just because of that.
That being said though... this is lower-tier Pixar. Still pretty good, but it's not a very original story, and it was incredibly easy to pinpoint major plot points early on. (At the opening shot of Arlo's parents waiting for the eggs to hatch, my husband leaned over and whispered to me, "Well, now we know that one of them is going to die." It took another 15 minutes for that to happen, but it got there.)
On top of that, though, the tone of this movie is... odd. It gets unusually dark and surreal for Pixar. Everything just feels a little unsettling, from the cult pterodactyls to the dinosaur stashing birds on his head to the 10-second drug trip. It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland, where we see elements of things we recognize but everything is just a little... off. The vibe is different than it is with most Pixar flicks, and I couldn't shake the sense of "wrong"ness I felt from it.
The best parts of this movie are those without words. Pixar really excels in creating emotional scenes with barely any dialogue, and those are the moments that stand out here. The scene where Arlo teaches Spot the concept of family is one of the most hauntingly beautiful scenes Pixar's ever done, and returning Spot to his new family at the end was equally moving. If there had been more of those moments and less bizarre cattle rustling and eerie pterodactyl fleeing, this movie would have been a lot higher on my list.
How it entered my Flickchart:
The Good Dinosaur > Melinda and Melinda
The Good Dinosaur < Pretty Woman
The Good Dinosaur > A Separation
The Good Dinosaur < The Green Mile
The Good Dinosaur < Duck Soup
The Good Dinosaur < Grosse Pointe Blank
The Good Dinosaur > The Time Traveler's Wife
The Good Dinosaur < Men in Black III
The Good Dinosaur > Identity
The Good Dinosaur < A Bug's Life
Final spot: #873 out of 2393.

I’m not a cyclist myself, but bicyclists have always fascinated me. Mainly, Chicago bicyclists are of interest they maneuver around the busy city streets and go toe-to-toe with cars, with little protection other than a hardened foam bike helmet. Kind of crazy, right?
Last week I read that the city balked at making a protected bike lane on Milwaukee Avenue. A big reason for that is because cars park on the street, and the city would be sacrificing parking spaces. Milwaukee Ave., though, is an odd street because it is a diagonal street. It has a ton of six-way intersections. This is a fairly dangerous street for bikers.
For my midterm, I want to go in and write about that – finding people who traverse West Side streets on bike, getting their reaction to not just the city’s scrapped plan, but also their take on any cycling-related issues in Logan Square and Wicker Park.
I also found an article stating just how beneficial protected bike lanes are, and just how dangerous it is to ride around out in the city streets without that protection. The protected lanes not only protect bikers, but are good for the city, too.

Shares of Global Premium Hotels (GP Hotels) jumped yesterday after majority shareholder and real estate tycoon Koh Wee Meng launched a cash offer to take the firm private.
The stock rose four cents, or 12.5 per cent, to 36 cents - just below the offer price of 36.5 cents a share.
Mr Koh already controls 71.86 per cent of GP Hotels.
If his bid succeeds, the hotel chain operator will be delisted after listing on the Singapore Exchange just five years ago.
One of Singapore's largest hotel chains, GP Hotels operates 23 economy-tier and mid-tier hotels under the Fragrance and Parc Sovereign brands, with 1,983 rooms in total.
Low trading liquidity was cited as one of the reasons for the proposed delisting, together with the fact that the company had not carried out any exercise to raise equity capital since 2012.
At 36.5 cents a share, the offer represents a premium of 18.5 per cent over the volume-weighted average price in the past month, 21.7 per cent over the three-month average and 23.3 per cent ahead of the six-month average.
But one analyst pointed out that Mr Koh's offer "seems a little low" at nearly a 50 per cent discount to book value. GP Hotels reported a net asset value per share of 69.31 cents as at Dec 31.
Mr Koh tried to acquire GP Hotels in 2014, offering 33 cents a share when the asset value per share was 64 cents.
The independent financial adviser then called the offer fair but "not so compelling".
GP Hotels was spun off from property and hospitality company Fragrance Group, so some attention has inevitably fallen on the former parent, in which Mr Koh has accumulated an 85.6 per cent stake after making occasional share purchases in recent months.
Mr Koh is also the executive chairman and chief executive of Fragrance Group.
Yesterday, Fragrance shares rose 0.3 cent, or 1.79 per cent, to 17.1 cents. In comparison, the net asset value per share is 15.5 cents - so privatisation may not be such a sweet deal for Mr Koh in this respect.
Analysts noted that unless pressures like Qualifying Certificate extension charges present a problem, Mr Koh is unlikely to take Fragrance private.
Besides, Fragrance has diversified into Australia and Britain and sold almost all of its residential units in Singapore.
It has only one ongoing development project, City Gate, in which it has 50 per cent interest. These units are 86 per cent sold.
Spokesmen for GP Hotels and Fragrance both declined to comment.

Signed up this afternoon watched the videos on pipe bags tonight, and learned something already. (My bag is the right size). Pretty darn good.
Good information about checking for air leaks. I had not heard about putting the water inside the bag to check for air leaks. One question…
what about the hybrid bags? Are they handled the same way as a synthetic bag, or a hide bag? The hybrid bag gives a better feel to the bag that a synthetic bag does not. Also, what about the bubbles leaking from the zipper area? Is this considered an air leak, and if so, how is that taken care of? Will the T-Zip prevent air leak through that zipper?
You would handle that hybrid bag as you would a synthetic bag….regarding the zipper, yes, the T zip should fix that for you!!
Now, I would also say that I would not submerge a bag in water …that was used as a demonstration on the video…some of the bag makers would void a warranty….I would do the blow up test as we did on the other video!!!

Google Stock Option Wealth Creation
From today's NY Times article "Google Options Make Masseuse a Multimillionaire":
Including massage therapist Bonnie Brown, "who answered an ad for an in-house masseuse at Google, then a Silicon Valley start-up with only 40 employees. She was offered the part-time job, which started out at $450 a week but included a pile of Google stock options that she figured might never be worth a penny.
After five years of kneading engineers’ backs, Ms. Brown retired, cashing in most of her stock options, which were worth millions of dollars. To her delight, the shares she held onto have continued to balloon in value." (See chart above of Google's stock price over the last two years.)
MP: Perhaps this is one explanation for rising income inequality in the U.S. in recent years. I don't think there were any comparable examples of this type of "Google stock option" wealth creation for part-time employees during the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, or maybe even the 1990s?

Aegis Sciences Corporation announces participation in National Testing Action Plan for K-12 Schools to Safely Reopen
Nashville, Tennessee (April 7, 2021) - The Rockefeller Foundation announced an initiative on March 26, to provide guidance on testing for K-12 public schools to enable safe in-person learning. The K-12 National Testing Action Program: Connecting Schools with the Nation’s Leading Testing Companies to Safely Reopen (NTAP) connects schools with laboratories and testing partners, including Aegis Sciences Corporation.
Routine testing of students, teachers and staff empowers school administrators with the knowledge they need to safely operate in-person learning. A successful testing program works to quickly identify positive cases to keep school infection rates low. Laboratory partners must return results to schools and test takers within 24 hours. With its large scale national testing capabilities and newly launched pooled testing program which supports more frequent, easy to administer testing at a lower cost while not materially sacrificing accuracy, Aegis is well placed to support this important new initiative.
Since launching COVID-19 testing in April 2020, Aegis has quickly increased testing capacity to meet the needs of communities and schools across the United States. Last fall, Aegis was selected to participate in the National Institutes of Health Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) initiative and received an NIH grant to expand COVID-19 testing capacity to 60,000 tests per day by September 2020. Since then, reflecting its success in rapidly expanding testing while maintaining its industry leading turnaround time, Aegis’s has been awarded additional NIH grants. Aegis is currently able to perform over 110,000 tests per day within a targeted 24-hour or less turnaround time.
Drawing from the diverse and broad reach of its national testing program, which includes a collaboration with Walgreens to perform COVID-19 testing for over 3,000 of its pharmacy locations, Aegis has recently entered into a contract with the CDC to perform next-generation sequencing analysis of de-identified positive samples from all 50 states and Puerto Rico. Aegis’s unique combination of national scale, excellent service and first rate lab capabilities not only allows for efficient diagnosis of individuals that have been infected by SARS-CoV-2, but also assists in identifying regional and national transmission of variants of concern.
“Aegis has a proven track record of delivering accurate COVID-19 results with an industry leading turnaround time across the United States. We are honored to be selected as a laboratory testing partner for this latest initiative to safely reopen schools,” said Dr. Frank Basile, CEO of Aegis Sciences Corporation.
For more information on setting up a pooled RT-PCR lab-based testing program for your school district, please email Regina Sweeney at firstname.lastname@example.org
About Aegis Sciences Corporation
Founded in 1990, Aegis Sciences Corporation is a laboratory sciences company based in Nashville, Tenn., that provides science-driven testing and consulting services for clients such as healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, professional and amateur sports organizations, leading college and university athletic programs, Fortune 500 corporations, and government agencies throughout the United States. For more information, please visit http://www.aegislabs.com/.
Aegis’s testing project is supported by the NIH Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADxSM) initiative and has been funded in whole or in part with federal funds from the Office of the Director, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, under Contract No. 75N92020C00022.

48% of the Generation Z opt to use social media to fill up their spare time while 45% would be keen to use the platforms for entertaining and funny stuff. However 41% of the youngsters aged 16-20 prefer using social media to keep a check on what their friends are up to.
In mature markets, Generation Z consumers prefer to connect with their friends and families on the social media. However, in faster growth or under-mature markets, the priorities are altogether different and it varies.
It is likely that this generation will be using platforms like Twitch and Reddit as it lies somewhere in the middle of social media and personal interests.

domain: sociology


The week before last The New York Times carried a piece on when a person should start collecting Social Security. You kids who read blogs probably didn’t even know there was a choice about when to start getting those checks or that it significantly affects how much you get.
Basically, the longer you wait, the higher the monthly payment. According to the Social Security Administration’s example (quoted in the article without attribution) a person whose "full retirement age" is 66, and would get $1000 a month starting then, could instead have $750 starting at age 62 or $1320 at age 70.
This dilemma, less now or more later, is faced by all those who would receive Social Security payments, which is to say just about all Americans. (We assume.) And yet it does not get that much attention. Why? Because it’s complicated. There are a lot of moving parts, including some counter-intuitive rules and strategies involving spousal benefits.
But at its core, this is not that mysterious a problem. Assuming that a person has the financial resources to wait, the first issue to consider is longevity. The average life expectancy for a 62 year-old man is 81. (It’s 84 for women.) If you’ve got good and strong reasons to expect to fall short of or exceed that benchmark, then this consideration will dominate all others. If you don’t expect to live long, start payments now. If you expect to live a good long while, wait as long as possible.
If you don’t need the money right now to pay your bills, and you don’t think your expected longevity is particularly different from the norm, then what? You’ve essentially got the choice of a number of annuities starting at different ages. That’s not as hard a problem to get your hands around as it might seem. (And as the Times article would have you think.) Annuities are a standardized product. And there is a website (ImmediateAnnuities.com) that will give you a rough quote for an annuity that pays $X at age Y. Using it, I’ve made the following table.
|Age||Monthly Payment||Annuity Cost||PV @ I+2%||PV @ I+5%|
|62||$ 750||$ 116,454||$ 116,454||$ 116,454|
|63||$ 800||$ 121,877||$ 119,487||$ 116,073|
|64||$ 866||$ 129,309||$ 124,288||$ 117,287|
|65||$ 933||$ 136,407||$ 128,539||$ 117,833|
|66||$ 1,000||$ 142,825||$ 131,948||$ 117,502|
|67||$ 1,080||$ 150,769||$ 136,556||$ 118,131|
|68||$ 1,160||$ 157,951||$ 140,256||$ 117,865|
|69||$ 1,240||$ 164,373||$ 143,097||$ 116,817|
|70||$ 1,320||$ 170,255||$ 145,311||$ 115,235|
The first two columns are the SSA’s age and sample monthly payments. The third column is what an annuity that would pay that amount for a man of that age would cost right now, according to ImmediateAnnuities.com.
Before I go further, it should be pointed out that this is not exactly apples to apples, as the Social Security annuity is indexed to inflation and these quotes are for flat non-indexed annuities. Inflation-indexed annuities are, of course, worth more, but the website does not give easy quotes for those, so I’m going to assume that these numbers are indicative of the proportionate costs of inflation-indexed annuities.
It’s pretty obvious that $1320 a month to 70 year-old is worth a lot more than $750 a month to a 62 year-old. Really a lot more. But that’s not exactly the question we want to answer. We want to know which is more valuable: $750 a month to a 62 year-old or $1320 a month to a 62 year-old starting in eight years. In other words, would you rather have $116K now or $170K eight years from now?
That is an elementary question of present value. To price $170K in eight years you need to find how much you would need to invest now to have that much in the future. If your rate of return on the investment was, for example, 5%, then you would need to invest about $115K today to have $170K in eight years, so the present value of $170K would be about $115K, remarkably similar to the value of the $750 starting now annuity.
Except that the $170K in the table is an inflation adjusting moving target. The 62 year-old isn’t really choosing between $750 now and $1320 later. He’s choosing between $750 now and some larger payment in the future worth $1320 in today’s dollars. So the rate of return on that notional investment that lets us price $170K in the future, what we finance types call a discount rate, needs to be in inflation-plus terms, so we get the future value in today’s dollars. To get $170K in today’s dollars from $115K now requires not 5%, but 5% over inflation. (Present value of the various annuities assuming Inflation plus 5% are in the left most column of the table.)
Inflation plus 5% is not a realistic expectation for a low-risk investment. In fact, inflation plus 2% (a little better than what TIPS are running at now) is a much more realistic assumption. And at that rate (it’s the 4th column in the table) the annuities that start later are clearly worth more.
This is not an exhaustive analysis. Among other things, I’ve ignored the possibility of a 62 year-old not living to 70, but this hits the side of the barn. Barring special circumstances, a person is generally better off waiting to receive Social Security until as late as possible, 70 being ideal. This is the intuitive answer, and the one alluded to in the Times article, but isn’t it nice to see the argument made with numbers?
Alas, as intuitive as it is, the Times tells us that the majority of people actually choose the wrong answer, electing to receive benefits early. Why? It’s possible they are broke and need the money. But I think there is something else going on. This is a complicated topic that gets too little discussion. Without knowing for sure what the best choice is, people make what seems to be the more conservative choice, to get the money in hand now. Once again, a lack of understanding of personal finance costs real money.

Shell construction is the nucleus of our D&S Bauunternehmung and the fundamental of our group today
The complex range of services provided by DIRINGER & SCHEIDEL Bauunternehmung GmbH & Co. KG and the technical service providers of our group represent the first subdivision.
Large power plant in Mannheim
Quarter Q 6 Q 7
KEPLER-QUARTIER with Hilton Garden Inn Mannheim
Water pipeline construction, Mannheim
Canal construction, Mannheim
Distric heating in Rohrbach Süd
Pipeline construction in large dimensions
Rotech Sardegna, trenchless pipe rehabilitation

We have come a long way from the founding in 1921 of DIRINGER & SCHEIDEL Bauunternehmung GmbH & Co. KG as a classic structural engineering firm to the diversified group that you see today. We have however always remained true to construction. After the war, we played a major role in rebuilding Mannheim and were able to steadily add to our range of services thereafter. A little bit later, we built our first ‘turnkey’ residential and office buildings, along with complete housing complexes. Meanwhile we have our own civil engineering and pipe construction division, with trenchless rehabilitation of gravity and pressure pipelines to be added later. The next step will take place within the complex field of industrial construction and civil engineering, involving the assembly of industrial plants and power stations.
As a general contractor, we now take overall responsibility for numerous major building projects right up to turnkey delivery.
For many years now, we have also been acting as project developer including our subsidiaries and builder-owner of large-scale, predominantly mixed-used projects that we then place on the market for investors and owner occupiers. Today we make a point of combining sound traditional craftsmanship with the very lates know-how and are therefore confident of being able to meet the demands of our clients now and in the future.
Our service providers for trenchless sewer rehabilitation, property and facility management of residential and commercial real estate, center management of retail properties and the running of serviced properties round off the D&S service portfolio as it stands at present.
Construction in the following areas:
- Building construction/turnkey construction (residential, commercial)
- Pipeline construction (gas, water, district heating and cable pipeline construction)
- Civil engineering (road, canal and track construction)
And beyond that:
- Pipe rehabilitation (trenchless rehabilitation of sewage systems, water and gas pipelines) Extraction, production and sale of building materials (sand, gravel, sand-lime brick, porous stone, recycling material)
DIRINGER & SCHEIDEL BAUNTERNEHMUNG Rhein-Main GmbH is an independent subsidiary within the D&S Group and is active in the fields of pipeline construction (gas, water, district heating and cable pipeline construction) and civil engineering (road and sewer construction): Bauunternehmung Rhein-Main

About This Listing
Practice yoga at the beach, swim in the ocean or just soak some rays when you stay with us because we're only a 5 minute walk to the beach. You can also go to the beachfront cafe/restaurant to mingle with locals or come visit our dairy farm!
(Our "Room by the Beach" is located on the island of São Miguel; not to be confused with our condo which is available on the island of Terceira and can be seen here: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1040870)
If you want to immerse yourself in peace and be removed from the confusion of city life, our home is suitable for you. We live like most people here on the island, meaning our home and lifestyle is simple and uncomplicated.
Our place would NOT be a good fit for your needs if:
- You're looking for luxury, amenities, or style
- Animals make you uncomfortable (we have 4 indoor/outdoor pets, sometimes 5 if we're fostering an animal)
- You need a heater or air conditioner (we have lots of blankets for warmth and ocean air for cooling)
- You are looking for a hotel-like experience
Here, you'll likely see cows walking the streets, open your window and hear the ocean waves from your bedroom, listen to birds sing and watch as time moves slowly. When you stay with us, you can expect your experience to be more like that of a homestay than a traditional bed and breakfast. We have chickens, roosters, 3 cats and a dog at our home and we own a dairy farm with grass-fed cows about 15 minutes away. We'd be happy to show you our farm and give you a taste of our healthy raw milk if you so wish.
We can't commit to providing breakfast, but the likelihood is that we'll be offering you eggs from pasture-raised chickens and if I have made cheese, you'll be welcome to that as well.
Our home is very simple, surrounded by pastures, a stunning view of the ocean and enclosed by tall bamboos which give us a great deal of privacy. The beach is a 5 minute walk away. We live on a hill, which so far hasn't been a problem for our guests, but if you can't walk up/down hill a bit than you can drive. We have a lovely little restaurant located before you reach the beach and a cozy cafe/restaurant on the beachfront. The village center is about a 2 min. drive / 10 min. walk away and you'll find some mini grocery markets, a restaurant and the fishing port there.
The city of Ponta Delgada is about a 20 minute drive away and the city of Ribeira Grande is approx. 10 minutes away.
The two tea plantations (Cha Porto Formoso and Cha Gorreana) are a short drive away (or a 30 min. walk to Cha Porto Formoso) and are worth a visit to try the local organic teas and learn how tea is grown and harvested using methods that have changed very little in the past 130 years. In the beginning of May each year Cha Porto Formoso celebrates the beginning of harvest season. The highest point of the celebration is a re-enactment of a 19th century tea harvest in which dozens of people in regional costumes take part.
If hot springs (Caldeira Velha), a hike down to a lake (Lagoa do Fogo) and one of the highest view points on the island (Pico da Barrosa - 947 meters / 3106 feet) sound good to you, then you are in luck because the access road to these 3 amazing locations is only about a 10 minute drive from our home (then you have to drive up to each of the locations).
If you like scuba diving or hiking, we can connect you with the best local family run company to organize these activities for you as well.
- FREE Wireless internet
- Washing machine (3€ per load)
- Clothes line
- Outdoor built-in wood fired BBQ grill (we need a day's notice to prepare the area for you and bring firewood)
- Refrigerator: it's small, but you can store a few food items
- Shared bathroom and family room
- Towel change every 3 days / Sheets every 7 days (on request)
- Our food items are not for guest use. Please bring your own cooking oil and spices if you plan on cooking in our kitchen. (We can offer you salt, pepper, eggs and raw milk.)
- We do not provide soap nor shampoo
- Remaining 2 bedrooms
- We do not own a TV, microwave nor a clothes dryer (however, we do have a clothes line you're free to use).
Interaction with Guests
We are always happy to interact with our guests to the extent that they want when we are not working. If someone wants to come to our home to simply relax and enjoy a level of solitude, we respect that. If someone decides to stay with us so that they can interact with locals, find out about things to do on the island and share some conversation we welcome that fully as well.
We can provide you with the contact information to a rental car agency, especially if you would like to have a car waiting for you at the airport.
The bus stop is about a 10 minute walk away and we've had guests get around hitchhiking as it's commonplace here. But, the easiest way is with a vehicle (we have private parking at our home).
Other Things to Note
The check-in/out times are flexible depending on whether or not we have other guests booking the room on those dates. Just let us know in advance if you need an earlier/later check-in/out time and we will let you know if we can accommodate your request.
- Our food items (spices, cooking oils, etc.) are not for guest use. If you plan to use the kitchen, please be prepared with the food items you will need. (We can offer you salt, pepper, eggs and raw milk.)
- After washing your dishes, please dry and put them back on the shelves.
- Please bring your own soap and shampoo
- Be aware of the electric power consumption
- Do not use metal utensils with pots
- Do not smoke inside of the house (outside away from doorways is fine)
This typical cheese is called Queijo Fresco and traditionally is wrapped in leaves and topped with homemade crushed peppers. We make ours from raw milk from grass-fed cows. If I happened to have made some during your visit, I'll be sure to offer!
My stay at Gena and Joao's place was wonderful. The first thing you notice when you arrive is the stunning view of the coastline and the beach below. Also, right around the corner from their house is a stunning waterfall that is adorned with landscaped gardens and picnic areas.
Gena and Joao are super nice people. They are welcoming, friendly, helpful and communicative. They really make you feel comfortable, just like you were at home. Their house is at an amazing spot with view to the ocean. You can even hear the waves crashing from their yard, and the beach is 2 minutes walk from the house. The room is simple but cosy and spacious, it really fits your needs. And let's don't forget about Gena's and Joao's lovely and extremely friendly pets, who made my time even happier there!
We had such a wonderful stay with Gena and João, and wish it could have been for much longer. The house is really nice and bright. It is surrounded by greenery, feels very private, and the view of the ocean from out front is absolutely gorgeous. The cats and dog were so sweet, and it was lovely having fresh eggs in the morning. Gena and João made us feel so welcomed, and we really enjoyed our long conversations with them. We also had a great time visiting the farm. We can't wait to come back!
I can hardly put into words how amazing this place and it's inhabitants (Gena, Joao and all their "babies") are. You find yourself on top of a small hill with a stunning view. The room was clean and simple (which I dig), you share the rest of the house (which is very uncomplicated). There are animals everywhere, cows, hens, cats, the dog... you feel the freedom and peace of this place immediately. Gena and Joao made it very easy for me to feel like home. We had so much inspiring talks, shared breakfast and dinner, they even invited me to share more wonderful moments with them and their loved ones. I made new friends in paradise - and I thank you for warming my heart and soul :)
Staying with Gena and Joao was such a treat. They were both incredibly friendly and helped us get the most out of our stay on the island. There's a lot to do nearby and it's a great jumping off point for Lagoa do Fogo and the northeastern county of Nordeste.
The view is something I didn't fully expect, walking outside the morning after we arrived and hearing the waves crashing was a treat. We only had a short stay, but I would most certainly recommend it to anyone else hopping from place to place throughout the island.
By coincidence, Gena and Joao were also great friends with our scuba instructor (Bruno at Best Spot) who I also can't recommend enough.
Positively uplifting-- the view, the home, the environment. I had such a peaceful visit in Gena's home. You really DO hear waves crashing and smell the fresh air as you wake up. Honestly, I've never been surrounded by such an abundance of natural beauty. I am so grateful to Gena & her husband for sharing this abundance. Peace and joy to your sweet farm (website hidden) while walking the amazing town, be sure to give Dos Moinhos your business, they are kind wonderful people. And they serve strong coffee and delicious food.

Solar home systems and industrial buildings segment is expected to witness significant growth rate during the forecast period due to the increasing awareness, cost efficiency and preferences towards the use of solar energy. Solar charge controller market is expected to witness robust growth on account of growing demand in residential and utility application sector. Government initiatives and funding has provided strong boost to solar charge controller market. Stringent environmental regulation and technological advancement are key factors expected to drive the number of installations over the forecast period.
The global solar charge controller market can be classified according to the type such as simple 1 or 2 stage controllers, Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) charge controller, and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) charge controllers. The simple 1 or 2 stage charge controllers cut power when the battery reaches a set voltage, and turn it on when a low voltage set point is reached. During charging, the PWM charge controller allows as much current as the solar panel/array can generate in order to reach the target voltage for the charge stage the controller is in. MPPT charge controllers optimize the voltage of the solar array to maximize total power output and convert that to the correct voltage to charge the battery. Owing to its efficient properties and functions, MPPT accounts for largest market in 2016 and is also projected to grow at a highest rate during the forecast period.

George Floyd protests: S. Africa, Kenya, Ghana march against police brutality
Protests against police brutality and in solidarity with worldwide demonstrations calling for justice for George Floyd have been held across Africa. Rallies took place in Kenya, Ghana and South Africa. Meanwhile, in Ivory Coast, supporters of former president Laurent Gbagbo are gearing up for October elections as Gbagbo himself eyes a possible return to the country – our team on the ground tells us more. And our correspondent in Ethiopia reports on how door-to-door initiatives are helping rural neighbourhoods find solutions to coronavirus-related struggles.


Volkswagen has reintroduced the Tiguan midsize SUV in the Indian market in a new facelifted avatar. Compared to the previously available BS4-spec diesel-powered version, the new Volkswagen Tiguan has been launched as a BS6 petrol-only SUV, which is now locally assembled in Volkswagen’s manufacturing facility in Aurangabad. The official deliveries of the SUV are set to commence from mid-January 2022, however, the SUV is already open for bookings both online and offline.
Pricing and Variants
The new Volkswagen Tiguan has been launched in a single Elegance variant, which is priced at Rs 31.99 lakh (ex-showroom, India). With the new pricing, it is Rs 2.21 lakh more affordable than the seven-seater Tiguan AllSpace, which has been discontinued to make way for this new SUV.
The new facelifted Tiguan gets a few cosmetic tweaks on the outside, as compared to the BS4 model sold earlier. There are new sharper looking headlamps, which get LED Matrix lights with daytime running LEDs. The front grille and bumper have been tweaked as well, with gloss black highlights on the corners of the front bumper. The only change to the side profile is the new design for the 18-inch grey alloy wheels, while at the rear, there are new LED inserts in tail lamps, a revised rear bumper and new wide ‘Tiguan’ lettering in the middle of the boot lid. The new Tiguan has seven colour options on offer, which are Oryx White, Deep Black, Reflex Silver, Dolphin Grey, Nightshade Blue, Kings Red and Pure White.
Interior and Features
On the inside, nothing much has changed in the Tiguan, with a couple of new features added to its already extensive list of equipment. The all-black cabin of the Tiguan now gets a 10-inch TFT instrument console, a new three-spoke multi-functional steering wheel and a touch-controlled panel for the three-zone automatic climate control in the lower centre console. Other features which grace the cabin of the Tiguan are an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple Carplay, Android Auto and connected car tech, 8-way powered driver’s seat, panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery, ambient lighting, push start-stop button and more.
For safety, the Tiguan is equipped with front, side and curtain airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, hill start assist, hill descent control, tyre pressure monitoring system, ISOFIX mounts for child seats, front and rear parking sensors and reverse camera.
Engine and Transmission
The new Volkswagen Tiguan is now powered with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, which has been retained from the now-defunct Tiguan AllSpace. The engine is paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and produces a maximum power output of 190 bhp and a maximum torque output of 320 Nm. Like before, the new Tiguan comes with Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system as standard.
With a price of Rs 31.99 lakh, the new Tiguan sits above the top-spec petrol-automatic variants of both of its direct rivals, the Hyundai Tucson (Rs 24.37 lakh) and Jeep Compass (Rs 26.34 lakh). The new Tiguan will also compete with the Citroen C5 Aircross (Rs 31.30-32.80 lakh), which is offered only with a diesel-automatic powertrain.


Gwyneth Paltrow Covers 'Good Housekeeping' February 2011
Here’s what the 38-year-old Country Strong actress had to share:
On why she’s seldom photographed with husband Chris Martin: âIf Iâm looking grumpy in public or if Chris and I leave a restaurant separately, itâs only because we donât want to encourage photographers.â
On Chris: âI can depend on him. He makes me laugh. Heâs really appreciative of me. You know, he makes me feel special.â
On fighting post-partum depression after son Moses‘ birth: âI felt like a zombie. I couldnât access my heart. I couldnât access my emotions. I couldnât connect. It was terrible, it was the exact opposite of what had happened when Apple was born. With her, I was on cloud nine. I couldnât believe it wasnât the same. I just thought it meant I was a terrible mother and a terrible person.â
On learning to play guitar for Country Strong: âIt was so much fun to pick up a new skill. I can be a perfectionist, so I really practiced. And between Chrisâs help and the director needing me to be prepared, I was totally ready when the time came.â

Fresno State wants to be nationally ranked, and it proved its worthiness in Tempe, Ariz., this weekend, knocking off No. 23 Utah 2-0 on Sunday to improve to 5-0 after an unbeaten run at Arizona State’s Kajikawa Classic.
The Bulldogs got a strong start in the circle from senior Jill Compton, who had three strikeouts in the shutout for her third win of the weekend. Compton gave up seven hits but was backed up by her defense, which helped her strand nine Utes on base.
Fresno State junior transfer Lindsey Willmon got the offense going in the bottom of the fifth, leading off with a single up the middle. Willmon advanced to third via a walk and passed ball and scored on Whitney Smith’s squeeze bunt. Malia Rivers drove in another run with a grounder to the right side, allowing pinch runner Christina Rodriguez to score from third.
In the top of the seventh, Compton struck out the first hitter before the infield closed the game with a 6-3 double play.
The win was the Bulldogs’ second in three days against a nationally ranked opponent. They upset No. 8 Tennessee 7-3 on Friday.
On Saturday, Fresno State escaped with close victories over Seattle University (7-3) and Boston College (3-1).
The Bulldogs came back from a 2-0 deficit against Seattle with a five-run third inning, highlighted by back-to-back triples from Alyssa Villalpando and Kierra Willis.
Against Boston College, Fresno State rallied in the top of the seventh to score all three runs and escape with the win.
The rally started with two errors, putting two Bulldogs runners in scoring position and setting up Rivers to tie the score with a single to left. Another infield error gave Fresno State a 2-1 lead. Paige Gumz hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to make it 3-1.
The Bulldogs return to Margie Wright Diamond, where they will open their home slate Friday with the first day of the Fresno State Kick-Off.
