The Georgia Bulldogs won a ton of games during the 15 years Mark Richt led the team. Here are the 30 greatest Georgia football players of the Richt era.
While the Georgia Bulldogs have emerged as a perennial College Football Playoff contender under head coach Kirby Smart, we would be foolish to not talk about the great work his predecessor Mark Richt did before him in Athens.
Richt was the Top Dawg in Athens from 2001 to 2015, winning nearly everything, but a national title while he was there. He went 145-51 overall, 83-37 in SEC play and 9-5 in 14 bowl games. The Dawgs won the SEC twice in 2002 and in 2005, the SEC East outright on five occasions and over 10 games in a season nine times.
Though he was fired at the end of the 2015 NCAA regular season for his inability to get a team loaded with top-five talent into the national championship conversation, Smart would not have been able to have the early success in Athens without the foundation Richt set before him.
Prior to Richt’s arrival in 2001, Georgia had struggled to find consistency in the head coaching department after Vince Dooley’s retirement in 1988. Though the Bulldogs had great players in both the Ray Goff and Jim Donnan eras, Georgia managed just two 10-win seasons from 1984 to 2000.
Richt brought an end to that. With many of Donnan’s players, and some he recruited himself fresh out of the Florida State Seminoles offensive coordinator gig, Richt quickly had the Dawgs back in the national conversation for the first time since the 1980s under Dooley.
Though a great coach in his own right, Richt would not have been able to win nearly 150 games at UGA without some outstanding players. He’ll certainly have some more in his new gig leading his alma mater in the Miami Hurricanes. But for now, here are the 30 greatest players to have played for the Dawgs during the 15-year Richt era in Athens.
Honorable Mentions: Billy Bennett, Michael Bennett, Clint Boling, Brandon Boykin, Thomas Brown, Chris Conley, Brandon Coutu, Akeem Dent, Kris Durham, Gordon Ely-Kelso, Fred Gibson, Amarlo Herrera, John Jenkins, Jordan Jenkins, Tavarres King, Arthur Lynch, Sony Michel, Malcolm Mitchell, Marshall Morgan, Leonard Pope, Musa Smith, Johnathan Sullivan, Damian Swann, Blair Walsh, Benjamin Watson, Ramik Wilson
- First-Team All-SEC (2007)
- 33.5 tackles for a loss of yardage
- 11.0 quarterback sacks
Before Geno Atkins became the monstrous three-time All-Pro defensive tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals, he first made a name for himself playing on Richt’s defensive line at Georgia. Atkins was a highly productive defensive end coming out of high school in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. His first season in Athens would be in 2006.
Atkins quickly carved out a rotational role on the deep Georgia defensive line as a freshman, appearing in 11 games in 2006. However, it was in 2007 that he best showcased his abilities to become a superstar in the NFL.
Atkins had a breakout sophomore campaign in 2007. He set career highs in tackles (41), tackles for a loss of yardage (15.0) and quarterback sacks (7.5). During that impressive sophomore campaign of his, he would often lead the defensive line in all three of those defensive categories in games.
His great play that fall had Georgia earn a share of the SEC East crown with Tennessee. Georgia finished the 2007 NCAA season ranked No. 2 in the AP Poll after beating the Hawaii Warriors in the 2008 Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.
Atkins would be named First-Team All-SEC in 2007. The only other Georgia player to garner that league-wide recognition that fall would be redshirt freshman running back Knowshon Moreno. Along with quarterback Matthew Stafford and Moreno, Atkins was a big reason the Dawgs entered the 2008 NCAA season ranked No. 1 in the nation.
Sadly, Georgia wouldn’t eclipse the heights of the Sugar Bowl victory over Hawaii while Atkins was in school. He played with the Dawgs through the 2009 NCAA season before being a fourth-round pick by the Bengals in the 2010 NFL Draft.
Overall, Atkins ended up with 120 total tackles, 33.5 for a loss of yardage and 11.0 quarterback sacks in his four years with the Georgia program.
To best summarize Atkins’ time in Athens, his talent as a playmaker along the defensive line was always there, but Georgia’s inability to play in a meaningful bowl game when he was an upperclassmen has him barely cracking this list at No. 30.

I have 2017 2032R that i am trying to put block heater on. When i look online at the JD Parts Catalog it shows the block heater kit goes in rear of block. When i pull instructions for the kit, it says 2032R the heater kit needs to go in side off block on left side. Both are same kit, BLV10640 that have block heater number AR87184. If goes in rear of block, how does that install happen? I see holes that adapter kit would attach to but there is circle inset that does not look removable? Any help would be appreciated!

Update: Recipe should have included 1/4 cup of sugar…correction made below!
Apparently, I am a glutton for punishment…I tried again.
But wait, you say, that doesn’t look like a vanilla bean buttermilk panna cotta…why didn’t you attempt the same recipe? Well, because I am difficult. I figured something had to go my way if I made a completely different recipe that included no dairy whatsoever, right? Hmmm…the answer is not as clear as one might think – yes and no.
Success…YES! (as it did not separate). And FAIL…it didn’t actually totally set…but I have only myself to blame for this one.
In “collaborating” (read: angrily discussing) with my brother who seems to end up with nothing but perfection when he makes panna cotta (all varieties, I might add) at his restaurant…he may have mentioned that the amount of gelatin can be tricky when using coconut milk. What seemed to be like an extreme amount of gelatin…was apparently necessary. I did not believe the recipe and (of course) thought I knew better…so this one is completely.my.fault! There’s always room for a 4th or 5th or 27th attempt, right?
Nonetheless, it tasted spot on!
Recipe can be found here (see below)…and I recommend following the recipe to the letter…and I’m sure that your panna cotta will work out absolutely perfectly! (mostly due to the fact that I am nowhere near your kitchen and therefore my luck (or lack thereof) will have absolutely no influence on your end-result!) I repeat…follow the directions!
I searched and searched to find the recipe I used…and to no avail…so unfortunately…you won’t have the opportunity to make the exact recipe that I managed to flub up…so find your own. Go, make panna cotta and succeed!
From my memory and photos….here is the recipe!
Key Lime Coconut Milk Panna Cotta
1 can (15 oz.) of Coconut milk
I packet of gelatin
2 tbsp.’s of fresh key lime juice
1 tsp. of key lime zest
1/4 cup of sugar
Pour lime juice into the sauce pan and sprinkle in the gelatin. (my recipe indicated an entire packet of gelatin should be used…but I (incorrectly) assumed that I would end of milk bricks if I added it all since I was using half the milk previous recipes had called for with the same amount of gelatin. Once it is bloomed, add in the zest and stir around a bit to make sure it is completely dissolved.
Next add in the coconut milk and sugar; heat gently until you see bubbles forming and there is steam rising. Make sure you continue to stir during the heating so the gelatin, lime juice and zest remain suspended in the mixture.
Remove from heat and pour into small dishes or ramekins, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set. I pulled one out later that evening to try it. Once again, we had guests and I was trying to avoid another big let-down of serving what appears to be a delicious panna cotta hiding a secret gelatin layer…or ending up a soupy disaster.
That evening, the panna cotta had not set and I convinced myself that it obviously needed some more time in the chiller. I unmolded it in a shallow bowl and we all nibbled spoonfuls. Flavor…perfect – refreshing, lime-y and not overly coconut-y. Texture…too soft…a little like thin yogurt.
The next morning when I pulled one out and plated it, it was certainly more set than the previous evening…but not that heavenly texture that panna cotta should be!
I will not give up. I will not give up. I will not give up.
Stay tuned for attempt #4. I believe everyone has a cooking nemesis…like Kryptonite for Superman…perhaps panna cotta is my kryptonite!
What is your culinary nemesis?

The initiatives of the 'Schweizer Vereinigung fuer Sonnenenergie' (Swiss Association for Solar Energy) has added new impetus worldwide for the utilisation of solar energy. The Association organised the 'Tour de Sol', a race for vehicles propelled with the aid of solar energy. Solar vehicles with and without supplementary power, both standard production models and prototypes were eligible for the race. Before the start of the race, the solar-powered vehicles were 'filled up' with solar energy at a 'solar filling station'. The winner in the 'standard' section (a 2-seater small car for short distances) weighed in at 240 kg and attained a top speed of 100 km/h and a range of 150 km. The rear-wheel drive of this battery-powered vehicle was provided by 2 permanent magnet motors. A newly-developed nickel-zinc battery from the USA was available to power the twin engines. The energy requirement was the equivalent of less than 1 liter of petrol per 100 km.

Raw Green Rust
Raw Green Rust (formerly TR-I/O-FON) has been playing as an improvising laptop trio since 2008, serving up humorous abstract glitch-dub from promiscuous audio processing. We’ve played at Sonorities and been featured on Hear and Now (Radio 3). We haven’t put out a polished album yet, but in the mean time, here’s a live set from Beyond in Heilbronn:
There’s also a talk at xCoAx about what we do and how we do it, and a small demo:
Dave Murray-Rust & Firas Khnaisser
Firas and I have our first album out on the very lovely TQN-aut label (check out their other releases). It’s all improvisation between us, done remotely in lockdown and then processed and edited down.
mo-seph is my solo project, mostly composed work but moving towards processed improvisation.
The Slow Descent
A journey through the hidden recesses of the mind - ambient techno explorations of bass and joy. The latest EP from mo-seph is stitched together from improvised playing into a seamless trajectory of noise and beats and glitches.
The Other Place
A collection of tracks from the last few years. Sparkling, wiggling, crunchy time signatures and dirty basses.
Growth and Form
A continuous piece of music, sliding from one imaginary landscape to another.
The breadth of styles and influences absorbed is spectacular… Download both, get ‘em on your mp3 player and set course for the middle of nowhere… real fucking wow music.” Liam Arnold, Team Little Rock / Shallow Rave on Growth and Form and The Other Place
Tense, unsettling electronics and vocals, edited together from a series of live performances and studio improvisations between me and Josie Davis in the summer of 2009.

*Because I'm trying to get better at updating the blog*
Currently on my desk :)
Been working on miniature onions. I had to go back and look through my old miniature pictures,. - Highly recommend keeping pictures of the things you create, if you make any type of art or craft, so you can keep track of your progress. I still have a small box of some of my first miniatures from 2011! It's crazy to me that I've only made onion twice before. The first time time I made onion like this (not counting the red onion I made in 2019) was 2011 and the last time was in 2014.. and not just because it's been a while, but because it's one of those veggies that you use ALL the time when cooking.
Still need to finish up quite a few more, as well as some peeled halves, before I can list them. I need enough to finish the small arrangements as well as a few onions to add to other pieces.

What is ASTM B912?
ASTM B912 is an industry standard for the passivation of stainless steel alloys through electropolishing as outlined by ASTM International. ASTM B912 standards detail the pre-treatment, electropolishing, post electropolishing procedures and testing methods for the passivation of stainless steel through electropolishing. ASTM B912 standards aid manufacturers and service providers to ensure safe and reliable passivation services.
Who is ASTM?
ASTM International is the American Society for Testing and Materials. ASTM International offers international access to completely transparent standards developed for a wide range of industries. ASTM International has over 12,500 global ASTM standards, in over 140 participating countries. ASTM International attracts and retains technical experts from around the world to enhance the technical quality of standards in a wide range of industries.
ASTM B912 Specification
Some of the key elements of the ASTM B912 standards for the chemical passivation of stainless steel through electropolishing include:
Pretreatment: Base materials and parts need to be free of visible defects and undergo a pre-cleaning process to remove machining oils and debris prior to the electropolishing process
Electropolishing Process: The electropolishing process involves the immersion of stainless steel parts into metal lined, temperature-controlled tanks. Each processing tank holds a solution of phosphoric and sulfuric acid, in prescribed ratios, which is then charged with a positive electrical current
Post-electropolishing Procedures: Procedures performed following the electropolishing process include post dips and final rinsing for cleanliness
Testing: The performance of parts after the electropolishing process can be analyzed through a variety of methodologies. One method is a copper sulfate test, which New England Electropolishing offers as an added service to its customers.
Why the ASTM B912 Standard Matters
Industry standards like ASTM B912, help to ensure repeatable and consistent results for stainless steel electropolishing. They also eliminate the need for custom or manufacturer-specific standards, which can be duplicative and expensive to develop. This is important for many types of industries, but is absolutely crucial in manufacturing sectors that rely on precision like the medical, aerospace, scientific, and semi-conductor industries.
New England Electropolishing adheres to all the processing requirements of ASTM A967 and ASTM B912, and undergoes periodic testing by an independent laboratory to validate the quality of our services. New England Electropolishing offers copper sulfate testing in our facility to certify our ASTM B912 process, or clients can use third party laboratories to administer alternative ASTM B912 testing options.
When choosing a metal finisher, manufacturers should confirm that their electropolisher follows ASTM standards, maintains rigorous quality safeguards, and has the proper third-party certifications in place at their facilities. When a supplier certifies to an ASTM standard, maintains full regulatory and ISO Compliance, and performs regular validations of its services, it confirms that company’s commitment to responsible operation and quality service. New England Electropolishing is such a supplier.

I reside in a neighborhood of exquisite gardens and lawns. Sometimes I feel as though each home owner is intending to outdo the others with perfect lawns and blooms of colorful flowers everywhere. I like this, only one thing that bothers me a little would be the countless landscaping trucks and seemingly endless buzz of leaf blowers, power and chainsaws equipment. It got me to convinced that there must be a cheaper and quieter way to turn a yard into something memorable. Then I started contemplating that old cliché that my mother always accustomed to tell me growing up. You can do what you put the mind to. So, i made a decision to do it all myself.
There are a variety of benefits to turning your lawn in to a little paradise all by yourself. First, you cut costs. Lots of it. I estimate that I’ve saved over two thousand dollars on labor alone. Second, it’s quiet and all progress on your lawn and garden are manufactured on your time and only when you’re in the mood to do it. Any big do it yourself is a chance to learn because each project is unique and requires some other and often new set of skills also. When you hired contractors, last, when you do something yourself, you get a sense of ownership and pride over it that you wouldn’t otherwise. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with hiring someone to assist you to. They’ll end up being the ones getting their hands dirty and problem solving as issues come up, although they will likely know more than you about it.
To start out, I crafted a map of my entire yard, and decided where I wanted what. I selected a vegetable garden that wraps around the kitchen, with herbs in window boxes for quick accessibility and to give the house a fresh smell. Then I chose to plant a flower garden alongside my front walk with a path of stones. I quickly learned that I would need to buy some tools and find certain materials, and so i went online to buy drywall stilts at the The DIY Outlet and to familiarize myself with some tips and shortcuts. These, as well as other resources like them offer excellent advice on how to make any do it yourself project easier.
Now I have got an enviable lawn and garden that my neighbors and guests always comment on, although my entire endeavor took the better element of four consecutive weekends. I’m proud of myself for saving money while concurrently testing my creativity in design, and my kids are excited to consider bugs inside the new flower garden and pick fresh tomatoes off of the vine. And my wife is merely happy that I didn’t wake her up at 7am on a Sunday morning together with the intrusive roar of power tools. Whatever you decide to decide for the lawn, it’s best to research what plants are best designed for the environment your home is in. For example, you wouldn’t want to plant cacti in New Hampshire, and you wouldn’t want to plant flowers which require a lot of water in La.

Late Night Video: Elaine Strich’s photo session!
I saw the documentary Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me last weekend and absolutely loved it – loved it. I started following the movie on Facebook and this very enjoyable video of the photo shoot for the movie’s poster has just been posted.
It’s Stritch in her signature black tights and white men’s dress shirt and she’s in glorious form – just a total pro.
Photographer Brigitte Lacombe says: “She’s sublimely eccentric, very witty, direct and frank, and truly moving.”

Nigerian naira weakened to a more than 10-month low on the interbank market on Tuesday as Africa’s largest economy continues to face low-dollar supply and high demand for the greenback.
The local unit depreciated 5.3% to 401 naira per dollar on the spot market, the lowest since March 30 last year, before paring losses to 397.50 as of 1:54 p.m. in the commercial capital, Lagos. The naira closed at 398.5 to the greenback on the investors’ and exporters’ window on Monday.
The West African nation’s currency has been devalued twice since March last year. Another adjustment would be in line with investors’ expectations for a devaluation after the central bank weakened the non-deliverable naira forward contracts rates and raised interest rates.
Africa’s largest crude producer has been reluctant to allow an adjustment of its currency after the oil-price crash early last year cut foreign-exchange inflows from official sources. A rebound in crude prices in recent weeks would boost the central bank’s reserves and improve dollar reserves, which have been under pressure.

Today, I want to delve into the immeasurable affection and profound connection I have with my brothers, and how this bond has played a crucial role in building a path towards success together. Growing up in a tight-knit family, I have been incredibly fortunate to have not just one, but multiple siblings who have enriched my life in countless ways. Through shared experiences, challenges, and triumphs, our brotherhood has evolved into a powerful force that has consistently fueled our personal growth and aspirations. In this blog post, I will explore the reasons behind this profound affection I have for my brothers, and how our unity and combined efforts have propelled each one of us towards remarkable achievements. Join me as I reflect on the unique dynamics within our brotherhood and the amazing moments we have lived together on this journey towards success. So let’s dive in and discover the remarkable bond that has shaped our lives and continues to inspire us every day.
In the cutthroat world of entertainment, the challenges faced by entertainers are often overlooked. It’s not all glitz and glamour; behind the scenes, there are struggles that most people are oblivious to. In this article, I will shed light on the difficulties faced by these artists, the lack of support within the industry, and the immense value they bring to the table. Moreover, I will emphasize the importance of having high-level conversations and giving a platform to those who often go unheard.
Challenges Faced by Entertainers:
Unpredictability and Uncertainty:
Entering the entertainment industry means signing up for a rollercoaster ride of uncertainty. Unlike the stability offered by corporate jobs, entertainers face the constant challenge of an unpredictable schedule. They do not have the luxury of a nine-to-five routine; their work often extends into odd hours, weekends, and even holidays. Dealing with such uncertainties can take a toll on their mental and physical well-being.
Lack of Support from Peers:
Surprisingly, within the industry, a tendency to play games rather than offer genuine support is prevalent. Many entertainers are solely focused on their own success, often forgetting to lend a helping hand to their fellow artists. This creates a hostile environment where competition reigns supreme, making it difficult for newcomers to find guidance and opportunities.
Limited Valuation and Income Disparity:
Entertainers, despite their immense talent, often struggle to earn as much as their corporate counterparts. The entertainment industry undervalues their contributions, leading to a significant income disparity. This not only affects their financial stability but also hampers their motivation and dedication to their craft. It is disheartening to see artists pouring their heart and soul into their work, only to be rewarded with inadequate compensation.
Fear of Losing Value or Money:
The fear of losing value or money often prevents individuals in positions of power from elevating others. Rather than embracing collaboration and inclusivity, they cling to their position, fearing that uplifting others might diminish their own worth. This fear-based mentality stifles creativity and limits opportunities for deserving entertainers who could greatly contribute to the industry.
Importance of High-Level Conversations and Giving Voices:
In a world where superficiality often dominates, having high-level conversations becomes crucial. It is these conversations that enable us to delve deeper and understand the challenges faced by entertainers on a profound level. By shedding light on their struggles, we create a space for empathy and support.
Furthermore, it is essential to give voices to those artists whose perspectives have been overlooked. Their unique experiences can offer valuable insights into the industry, sparking conversations that can lead to positive change. By putting them in the spotlight, we not only elevate their voices but also ensure that their talent and contributions receive the recognition they deserve.
The entertainment industry is not for the faint-hearted. Entertainers face countless challenges and obstacles, but their resilience and passion drive them to keep pushing forward. It is high time we acknowledge and address these challenges, foster a supportive environment, and value the immense talent and creativity they bring to our lives.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):
- How can we support entertainers in the industry?
- What steps can be taken to bridge the income disparity in the entertainment industry?
- How can collaborations among entertainers be encouraged?
- What are some practical ways to create a more supportive environment within the industry?
- How can we give voices to underrepresented artists and ensure their perspectives are heard?
These are just a few of the many questions that arise when we start critically examining the challenges faced by entertainers in the industry. By actively seeking solutions and engaging in meaningful discussions, we can pave the way for a more inclusive and supportive entertainment industry where artists can thrive.

First record of Hatanpää dates back to year 1540 and the first manor was built in the 1690s. Hans Boije (1717-1781) improved the farming business and increased Hatanpää prosperity significantly. He also built an English garden to Hatanpää with and hired 30 gardeners to maintain it. Boije was a freemasonry and added an stone to the park with Greek engraving Egno Kyrios tous ontas antou (Lord knows his owns). The stone still exists and is known as the “grave of the freemasonry”, but no one is actually buried there.
After Boije Hatanpää manor has been owned by several families. The original main building burned in 1883 and the present one Neo-Renaissance manor was built in 1883–1885. There’s also an another Neo-Gothic manor nearby. It was built in 1898-1900 as the villa for the banker and manor owner Nils Idman. Idman was forced to sell all Hatanpää manor property to the city of Tampere in 1913. The manor was in hospital use until the new hospital was built nearby in 1930s.
Today Hatanpää manor can be booked for parties or conferences. Near the manor are beautiful rose garden and arboretum, which are very popular in the summer time.
The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere is one of the oldest churches of Rome. The basic floor plan and wall structure of the church date back to the 340s, and much of the structure to 1140-43. The first sanctuary was built in 221 and 227 by Pope Callixtus I and later completed by Pope Julius I.
The inscription on the episcopal throne states that this is the first church in Rome dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus, although some claim that privilege belongs to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. A Christian house-church was founded here about 220 by Pope Saint Callixtus I (217-222) on the site of the Taberna meritoria, a refuge for retired soldiers. The area was made available for Christian use by Emperor Alexander Severus when he settled a dispute between the Christians and tavern-keepers.
The church underwent two restorations in the fifth and eighth centuries and in 1140-43 it was re-erected on its old foundations under Pope Innocent II.

Enerpac SyncHoist lifting systems are assisting in the assembly of the Vacuum Vessel for ITER in Southern France. The SyncHoist millimetre lifting accuracy is needed to lift 500 tonnes vacuum vessel sectors into an Up-Ending tool for vessel assembly by the ITER Sector Sub-Assembly Tool. The torus-shaped ITER vacuum vessel will host the fusion reaction. Within this vessel, plasma particles collide and release energy at temperatures up to 150M degrees C without touching any of its walls due to a process of magnetic confinement. The vacuum vessel comprises nine sectors made of special grade stainless steel. Each sector is 13 metres high, 6.5 metres wide and 6.3 metres deep.
The Enerpac SyncHoist system comprises four, double acting, push-pull cylinders connected to lifting points. As the Centre of Gravity (CoG) for each vacuum vessel sector may vary from the theoretical, four 225 tonnes lifting capacity Enerpac SyncHoists are used to assess the CoG and ensure the lifting of each sector is as close to the plane as possible. Each vacuum vessel sector is delivered to ITER on a rigging platform. A SyncHoist is connected to each of the platform’s four lifting points allowing millimetre control at each point. The SyncHoists are arranged in pairs suspended from header beams connected to the ITER assembly hall’s overhead crane for the 10m lift to the Up-Ending Tool.
“It is essential that we hold the vacuum vessel sector in the plane during lifting. SyncHoist allows us to know the load at each lifting point and control the lift precisely with a 1mm accuracy,” says Jarl Buskop, assembly engineer, Sector Modules Delivery & Assembly Division, ITER. “Another benefit of using SyncHoist to cope with variations in the Centre of Gravity is the ability to lift the vacuum vessel sector clear of its surrounding transportation frame where there is only 15-30mm clearance for the rigging platform.”
To meet the ITER project requirements, each of the 1000mm stroke SyncHoists hydraulic lifting systems was made completely leakproof. In addition to the vacuum vessel sectors, the SyncHoist lifting system will be used to lift toroidal magnet field coils for insertion in the vacuum vessel.

Hyperon decays present a promising alternative for extracting $backslashvert V_us backslashvert$ from lattice QCD combined with experimental measurements. Currently $backslashvert V_us backslashvert$ is determined from the kaon decay widths and a lattice calculation of the associated form factor. In this proceeding, I will present preliminary work on a lattice determination of the hyperon mass spectrum. I will additionally summarize future goals in which we will calculate the hyperon transition matrix elements, which will provide an alternative means for accessing $backslashvert V_us backslashvert$. This work is based on a particular formulation of SU(2) chiral perturbation theory for hyperons; determining the extent to which this effective field theory converges is instrumental in understanding the limits of its predictive power, especially since some hyperonic observables are difficult to calculate near the physical pion mass (e.g., hyperon-to-nucleon form factors), and thus the use of heavier than physical pion masses is likely to yield more precise results when combined with extrapolations to the physical point.

HIMARS attack in Ukriane
Answer: We Don’t Have One
Daniel Davis / 19FortyFive.com
(September 3, 2022) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced the G7 had agreed to impose a price cap regime on Russian oil. As with most other actions by the U.S. and Europe related to Russia’s unjust war against Ukraine, the announcement of the cap was big on rhetorical flourish, but thread-bare on any evidence of a coherent strategic objective.
19FortyFive Contributing Editor Daniel L. Davis, author of this article, analyzes the situation in Ukraine on Fox News below.
The intent of the cap is to set a global price just above Russia’s marginal cost so that Moscow won’t make a profit on the sale of oil but high enough that Russia won’t stop producing altogether. Current global demand can’t be met without the nearly nine million barrels of oil per day provided by Russia, and if Putin were to stop producing suddenly, the resulting supply shock could send the price of oil into the stratosphere.
The purpose of the cap, Yellen claimed, would be to “deliver a major blow for Russian finances and will both hinder Russia’s ability to fight its unprovoked war in Ukraine and hasten the deterioration of the Russian economy.” It remains to be seen if the G7 can make good on its aspiration and actually develop and implement a worldwide price cap scheme. But along with other actions sponsored or endorsed by the United States government, it is far from certain what end state Washington hopes to obtain.
On February 7, about three weeks before Putin ordered the Russian military to invade its smaller neighbor, President Biden threatened to “impose the most severe sanctions that have ever been imposed” should Russia invade. Four days later, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan explained that President Biden “believes that sanctions are intended to deter. And in order for them to work — to deter, they have to be set up in a way where if Putin moves, then the costs are imposed.”
Yet after the threats of sanctions failed to deter Putin, Biden adjusted the rationale when he claimed that in fact “no one expected the sanctions to prevent anything from happening.” Instead, he continued, the sanctions were designed to show Western “resolve,” which, over time, “will impose significant costs on him (Putin).” Even with this new claim on his justification for sanctions, there was no explanation for what these “significant costs” were designed to accomplish. The Administration’s lack of focus didn’t stop there, unfortunately.
In late April, Secretaries of Defense and State, Lloyd Austin and Antony Blinken, traveled to Kyiv to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to explore ways the U.S. could help Ukraine’s military. Following their meeting, Austin said the United States wanted to see Ukraine remain a “sovereign country,” and that the U.S. wants “to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine.” It’s what Austin, Blinken, and Biden have not said, however, that illustrates a continuing problem with American foreign policy.
To date, none of America’s top leaders have said how our support for Kyiv is expected to achieve the outcomes sought. No one has articulated what a “weakened” Russia looks like or how we’ll know when that standard has been reached – or even why weakening Russia is a vital interest to the U.S. that is worth taking huge risks. These are not just academic or hair-splitting questions. They are foundational. Here’s why:
Since even before the war began, the United States has had no vision for the end state it wishes to produce. For example, if Biden’s objective prior to 24 February genuinely was to deter Russia from launching a war, it should have been clear beyond a reasonable doubt that a threat of sanctions alone would not have been sufficient to convince Putin not to invade.
Members of Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov squads.
Washington would have had to be aggressively engaged diplomatically with both Kyiv and Moscow to use the full heft of U.S. power to find a route to prevent war. There is no evidence the U.S. put any serious diplomatic effort towards averting war. Without a clearly articulated objective, there was nothing to guide the various departments of the Administration on how to achieve the desired outcome. The result was predictable: policy failure.
Virtually the only objective voiced by any member of Biden’s national security team since the war began has been Austin’s aforementioned desire to see Russia “weakened.” Yet if the White House doesn’t know what a weakened Russia looks like, how will it ever know if its actions are contributing towards a successful outcome beneficial to America? That’s where we are right now.
We send multiple rounds of multi-billion-dollar support to Ukraine, including some modern and some antiquated gear, but it is not a coherent set of military kit tied to enabling a specific capacity in the Ukraine Armed Forces. The White House leads multiple tranches of sanctions against Russia, but there is no declared purpose as to what they are intended to produce.
Since we don’t know what we’re trying to accomplish, no one can tell the American people how much the effort is going to cost, how long it’s going to last, or even what success would look like. If this sounds familiar, it should: it is basically the same aimless, incompetent foreign policy the United States has been pursuing for decades.
-We fought a generational war in Afghanistan that never bothered to set an objective; no one in power even articulated what success would look like, and thus no victory of any sort was ever achieved;
-We started a war in Iraq beginning in 2003 that quasi-ended in 2011, only to return again in 2014 – without any president bothering to set an attainable military objective or even articulating what the Force was there to accomplish so the American people could know when the operation could successfully end – and it continues without success or end to this day.
-We have had the same malady in our actions in Syria, Libya, Somalia, Niger, and many other locations in Africa: the government has not identified any attainable military objectives whose accomplishment would benefit our country and signal the end of the mission – and thus none have benefitted the U.S. and most still drone unsuccessfully on.
The cost to the United States for all these failures has been profound – and now we’re creating a new mission without a clear objective and no identifiable end state. The Russia-Ukraine war just passed the six-month mark. The danger isn’t as much that we might still be trying to divine the Administration’s objectives six years from now – though that sad outcome is entirely possible – but that this war could one day spill over Ukraine’s borders and get us sucked into a war we should never have fought and from which we could never benefit.

Monkeys on a rampage have left Patna residents a harried lot these days. Several persons, including women and children, have borne the burnt of simian attacks in the past few days. Not to mention people have lost their lives because of the monkey menace in the area.
Munna Mishra, a temple priest, was killed in the Mirchai Gali locality under Chowk police station of Old Patna when a troop of monkeys playing on the terrace of his house dropped a few bricks on him while he was sweeping the floor downstairs on Monday. Mishra was rushed to the Nalanda Medical College and Hospital by his family members but he succumbed to his injuries on the way.
Mishra’s death caused widespread panic in the area. He was the third person in recent times to have lost his life because of the nuisance caused by monkeys in the locality. After Mishra’s death, police wanted to take his body for a post-mortem examination to enable his family get ex-gratia but his relatives declined to opt for the autopsy of his body. Locals alleged that monkeys had bitten several people in areas under the three police stations of Malsalami, Chowk and Khajekalan over the past week.
“They not only snatch vegetable bags and other goods from the hands of people but also bite them,” Jeetendra Singh, a resident of Bhadra Ghat, said. “Some school-going children have also become their target.” He said that two more persons had died recently in the mishaps caused by monkeys. Taking cognisance of the incident, senior superintendent of police Vikas Vaibhav has directed forest department officials and the Patna Municipal Corporation to catch the monkeys and hand them over to the Sanjay Gandhi Biological Park.

50grams precooked extra lean ground turkey breast
1oz fresh mozzarella cheese
5grams grated parmesan cheese
50grams tomato sauce
1/4cup diced tomatoes
5 fresh basil leaves
Spices: fresh ground pepper, garlic, Italian seasoning mix, chili powder
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. While oven is heating up slice the zucchini into thin slices (mandolin recommended). 6 ounces of zucchini yielded 10 slices for me. Coat both sides with cooking spray & fresh ground pepper and roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Combine the tomatoes and tomato sauce in a small bowl and season to taste with the Italian seasoning, garlic & chili powder. Mix in the cooked ground turkey and set aside. Cut the cheese into 10 smaller pieces and the 5 basil leaves in half. Once the zucchini is out of the oven lower the temperature to 375 degrees. When the zucchini is cool enough to touch place a small amount of the turkey mixture at one end, 1 piece of cheese and half of a basil leaf. Carefully roll it up and place in oven safe dish. Repeat with 9 remaining slices. Top with the grated parmesan cheese and bake for 20 minutes.

Phyllis Mintzer -- honored Jewish educator
Published 4:00 am, Saturday, January 1, 2005
Hundreds of people spanning generations, ethnicities and sexual orientations crowded into a San Francisco synagogue Friday to pay tribute to Phyllis Mintzer, an innovative Jewish educator fondly remembered at synagogues across the Bay Area.
Ms. Mintzer, a native of New York City, died Tuesday after a five-year struggle with cancer. She was 79.
"She had a huge, loving heart," said Rabbi Camille Shira Angel, one of five rabbis attending funeral services Friday morning at Congregation Sha'ar Zahav in San Francisco. "She saw the divine spark in everyone."
Ms. Mintzer's career in Jewish education included pioneering programs at Congregation Beth Am in Los Altos, Temple Beth-el in Berkeley, Temple Isaiah in Lafayette, Congregation Sherith Israel in San Francisco, and most recently at Congregation Sha'ar Zahav, founded in 1977 as a synagogue for gay and lesbian Jews in San Francisco.
"She will be sorely missed by many," said her son, Irving Mintzer.

"She helped each student experience him or herself as a living Torah," said Angel, referring to the Hebrew Bible. "We are not just students of Torah but can enact its values with our lives. She taught in a way that was very experiential, teaching us to see our own lives in the stories of the Torah."
At Congregation Sha'ar Zahav, Angel said, Ms. Mintzer and her husband, George, "took on a kind of matriarchal and patriarchal role for people who were estranged from their parents for coming out."
Ms. Mintzer was asked to teach at Sha'ar Zahav in 1988 by Rabbi Yoel Kahn, who had worked for her in the religious school at Congregation Beth-el in Berkeley.
Today, the religious school at Sha'ar Zahav has 160 students from gay and straight families, including African American children and those adopted from China, Guatemala and other nations around the world.
"It's sure not like the religious school Phyllis grew up in," Angel said.
Donations in her honor can be made to the Phyllis Mintzer Educational Fund, 290 Dolores St., San Francisco CA 94103.

But the eight minute No More Shoes is the centrepiece. Sounding pure seventies, the song is built on a rolling guitar riff and a 'do-do-ing' refrain which acts as a jumping off point for Malkmus to indulge in some awesome guitar work. It's a powerful track and the best thing on the album. After this, Mama is a bit of a throwaway, sounding like a cross between The Beatles' Ballad of John and Yoko and Creedence Clearwater Revival's Rollin' On A River. And what follows isn't too inspiring. Kindling for the Master aims for the same poise as Bowie's Golden Years, while other tracks such as Post Paint Boy and Baby C'mon would be fairly run of the mill only for Malkmus' guitar work. So overall, not a standout effort within Stephen Malkmus' catalogue but rescued by some decent tunes and some above average guitar work.

Stephen Malkmus - Face The Truth
The third solo album from Stephen Malkmus came out in 2005, opening with the jarring squeaks of Pencil Rot. Buried underneath annoying studio trickery is a half decent tune. Not far into the album we get the vaguely irritating I've Hardly Been, not the ideal start! Thankfully It Kills, is the kind of guitar heavy, relaxed tune Malkmus has made his own post-Pavement, with a little snatch of banjo and a hint at, of all things, Rod Stewart's Do You Think I'm Sexy thrown in. The easy, lazy charm of Freeze The Saints works well, enhanced by some really excellent guitar work.

The US Centres for Diseases Control and Prevention Director in Zimbabwe, Peter Kilmarx, said healthcare workers and patients were at high risk for tuberculosis.
“Health care workers are also at risk of infection due to injury from contaminated needles,” Kilmarx said.
The CDC funded Zimbabwe Infection Prevention and Control Project is now in its second year of implementation and has completed a curriculum development and pre-service and in-service training for hundreds of health care workers.
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare, Brigadier General, Gerald Gwinji, said the government took over a decade of thorough consultation to come up with the IPC guidelines.
“It is hoped that the dissemination of the guidelines will provide the much needed reference and tool for IPC planning, capacity building and practice in all health care facilities,” he said.

Alrighty, I’ve been traveling for a month now so I guess it’s about time to get my world-renowned travel blog going again. Welcome back readers, I know how long you’ve been waiting! This trip begins in Costa Rica, known for its tropical rainforests, vibrant wildlife, and dazzling beaches!
So I started by flying into the capital of Costa Rica, the relatively uninteresting city of San Jose. I was too paranoid to bring my camera out the first afternoon, but the downtown area seemed like a safe enough place, mostly due to the presence of lots of police officers with rifles. I found a small stakes poker game at a bar/casino, donked off 50 bucks, bought some ice cream and called it a night. San Jose isn’t the type of place you want to stay for long so the next morning I took the bus out to a place on the coast called Puerto Viejo, which is supposed to have a more laid back, reggae type vibe, being that it's on the Caribbean coast. I got in late afternoon and couldn’t seem to find any guesthouses that had rooms available, so I ended up in a dingy little dorm room that smelled like dirty clothes and sweat and had a serious lack of fans. As I had suspected it was inhabited by some surfer hippy types, who were nice enough people, except for the girl in the bed across from me, who stole my fan when she went to bed. I reclaimed it of course when I woke up at 3am covered in sweat.
The next morning I found a halfway decent room, (with my very own fan!) rented a bike, and set out to see what was around. About 10 miles away was supposed to be a nice beach with some jungle trails around, so I figured that would be a good place to start. About 20 minutes in, it started to rain, which continued all the way until I got the beach. I took refuge in a little café, waited over an hour for the skies to clear and set out to look for these jungle trails. 10 minutes later it was raining again and the trails were all mud, so I didn’t make it too far. I ended up in a beach bar to wait out the rain, unsuccessfully, then slogged it back home in a heavy drizzle. Hmm. I had read that it was dry season in January, but apparently this did not pertain to the Caribbean coast! The next day it rained the entire day. And the next. And then I got outta there… to where of all places… The rainforest!
A day of buses later I was in Monteverde, which I guess is more of a cloud forest than a rainforest (don’t ask me the difference), and home to lots of touristy type activities: zip lines, atv’s, rope bridges, you name it! I met a Swiss dude on the bus and we found a hotel room to split, which might sound weird to some people, but costa rica is actually pretty damn expensive and it’s nice to help bring the costs down. Anyway, we were thinking of doing the ziplines, but it was raining sideways the next morning, so that was out. At this point I decided I better find a poncho, so I walked up to the big supermarket in town. They didn’t have ponchos, but they did have crappy little umbrellas, so I picked one up. I got to the register… $15. What? I'm pretty sure the cashier just made up a number a she thought I would pay, because I know for sure that no local is paying $15 for a POS umbrella. Anyway...
We were hoping to just find a good place to do some hiking, which you wouldn’t think would be difficult as we were in a freaking cloud forest, but apparently there were almost no trails around. The only thing that loosely fit our description was a place called the La Bosque de los ninos, which is a little nature preserve with maybe a mile of trail. We got there, paid our $12 to get in (apparently to maintain this crappy trail) and set off. We saw 3 different types of fascinating animals on the hike: mosquitos, ants, and flies. It was an amazing place!
The next day, shockingly, it was raining again, and we weren’t really feeling the Monteverde vibe. I don't think I took a single photo in Monteverde, because there was literally nothing interesting about the place photography wise. No local people (except behind the cash registers) no interesting culture, no animals, etc. So it was off to a place called La Fortuna which sit right beneath the Arenal volcano. I was hoping to hike it, but apparently it’s not allowed. We liked this place a bit more, as it had some decent hiking (for a price of course) a nice waterfall, and a little animal sanctuary where you can see some sloths, caimans, frogs, and a bunch of cool looking birds. I particularly enjoyed watching the sloths climbing through the trees. I feel like if I could choose an animal to just hang around and watch football and have a few beers, it would definitely be a sloth.
The next night we bought some beers and candles and went to the natural hot springs to relax. So you’re basically just chilling in a warm river in the middle of the jungle, which is pretty cool. When it gets dark you light the candles and it illuminates all the steam emanating from the river, which gives a very mystical, surreal atmosphere. Now being that it is one of the only free things you can do in Costa Rica, about 90,000 people showed up accordingly in the next couple hours, leaving hardly anywhere to sit or stand. So we took that as our cue to head on out. And that would be my last night in Costa Rica!
I originally planned on staying longer and hitting the beaches on the west coast, but to be honest I didn’t really like Costa Rica all that much. I mean it does have some beautiful scenery, but it’s just so damn touristy! Not to mention pricey. I think out of all the countries I’ve travelled to in the last few years Costa Rica is the most expensive (minus Australia). Plus it rained every single day I was there. So being that I only have 10 weeks to travel (I know, I know, poor me), I decided I’d allocate more time to Nicaragua, Honduras, and Guatemala. The next day I took a bus to the border, and it was off to the beaches of San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua!

In an interview published by the Venezuelan newspaper Correo del Orinoco on Tuesday, U.S. journalist and researcher at the Transnational Institute Saul Landau highlighted that “the body counts in Mexico and Iraq have no comparison to those in Venezuela.”
The New York Times claimed in an article yesterday that in Venezuela more people die on a daily basis than in Baghdad, the capital city of Iraq, invaded by the United States in 2003.
“Even the fight against drugs in Mexico has claimed fewer lives,” said the journalist.
The Prensa Latina news agency reported on Monday that four men were decapitated and hung on a bridge over a highway. Also, Iraqi authorities informed that three people died, among them a police officer and a soldier, and another 20 people were injured in a series of attacks in Baghdad.
“Such comparisons make no sense. There are no gangs attacking mosques with machine guns in Venezuela. There are no bombs killing dozens of people every day in Caracas, as occurs in Baghdad,” Landau stressed.
The U.S. journalist said that the history published by The New York Times is “a provocation.” He added, “It doesn’t deserve space in any newspaper, except by an Anti-Chavez propaganda newspaper.”
The director of the Bolivarian National Police Luis Fernández reminded that “scenarios in Caracas, Baghdad and Mexico City are completely different.” He added that “there is a war” in Iraq.
Without denying the citizen security problems existing in Venezuela, Fernández considered that the problem has been blown out of proportion by some sectors.
Venezuela’s Bolivarian National Police has managed to reduce violence in its patrol area, the populous Sucre parish in Caracas. “We have been able to reduce crime and murder rates over 50 percent,” Fernandez stated. Additionaly, between January and August 2010, the police force has reported that gender-based violence fell by 64 percent.

Making a splash! Why young families love our villas with private pools
Question: What do armbands, swimming goggles and inflatable unicorns all have in common with each other?
Answer: They all make villas with private pools 100 times more exciting!
When taking your family on a villa holiday, you want to guarantee you're all going to have a great time, kids of all ages, parents, and grandparents. One guaranteed crowd-pleaser is the outdoor swimming pool found in the majority of our spectacular villas. Every family has its share of fussy eaters and those who can't agree on where to go or what to watch; yet when it comes to holiday villas with private pools, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't fancy a dip after coming home from a long day out exploring.
For many families, a pool is high up on the list of requirements for choosing where to stay, and it's easy to see why. For those considering dipping your toe in the water, let us explain why villas with private pools are such a popular choice.
Stay cool with a pool
Unless you're holidaying in the colder months (and not visiting countries that enjoy warm weather all year round), you're probably going to be experiencing some hot weather while on your villa holiday. As fun as exploring local sights or soaking up rays on boardwalks can be, there's no greater feeling than returning to your villa to jump into the pool. Even if it's just to make a big splash, a refreshing dip is a great way to wake yourself up after a sleepy stroll in the heat.
Likewise, if you're choosing to spend a day lounging around your villa, rather than retreating indoors in the midday sun, a pool can be a great way to continue enjoying the outdoors, with the combination of waterproof sun cream and plenty of fluids.
Having fun in the sun
Some days all you want is a day by the pool. Fitting in the local sights, soaking up the culture and trying new cuisine can all be very exciting, but at the end of the day, you don't want to come away from your trip abroad needing a holiday for your holiday. Whether it's lounging by the pool or playing a game of Marco Polo, family members of all ages can relax and have fun by the water in a villa with a private pool.
One added benefit is that if you fancy heading home at any moment, you needn't worry about packing up because you're already there! Something that may come as a relief to those tired of carting around more towels and swimming costumes than a taxi heading to the airport.
Unless you're playing a large-scale game of hide and seek in a villa for a large family, it's only natural to want to be able to know where your kids are at a given moment, but at the same time, you're not going to want to restrict them from doing the things they want to. If you rent a villa that comes with a private pool, you can rest assured that you know where the younger family members are without having to keep an eye on them at all times.
Likewise, you don't have to worry about sharing the pool with anyone else, meaning you don't have to worry about how much noise you're making, how much space you're taking up or how much water you splash across the pool! Whether you're looking for villas for large families or small villas, a private pool can make all the difference to your holiday experience. If you're looking for a villa in hot parts of the world such as Spain, Crete or the Algarve, a pool can feel as much a necessity as the front door! That's why we at SPL Villas choose our homes with care because we want to guarantee your holiday is as comfortable and memorable as possible.


Kunak has been present at the highest summit of the United Nations on the environment. The fourth session of the Assembly took place on March 11-15 in Nairobi, Kenya, and has focused on achieving innovative solutions for the environment and sustainable development.
Kunak has participated in the presentation of the Air Quality Project in which they collaborate with the IAAF – International Athletics Federation – and the United Nations Environment Program. The Air Quality Project aims to address the issue of air pollution which contributes to 7 million deaths annually worldwide.
By creating an air quality monitoring network across 1000 athletics tracks around the world the UNEP/IAAF partnership provides first-hand opportunity to countries with limited air quality data to learn how low-cost sensors can provide evidence to improve the health of its citizens and future athletes. It also demonstrates an innovative approach to solving the air pollution problem.
Representatives from UNEP and Kunak explained how the UNEP/ IAAF Clean Air partnership supports the UN Environment’s long-term programme to build the capacity of local governments to manage air pollution in urban area.
Miguel Escribano, Business Development Manager at Kunak, showed participants at UNEA real time data from the IAAF’s air quality pilot at Stade Louis II in Monaco, Addis Ababa National Stadium in Ethiopia, Sydney Olympic Park Athletics Centre in Australia, and the Mexican Olympic Sports Center in Mexico, and described the collaboration between UNEP and the IAAF at the Science-Policy-Business Forum. The IAAF will soon be installing air quality devices in Asia and South America.
Air quality, sports and health
Last year 2018, Kunak was selected to participate in the project in which the IAAF and the United Nations Environment Program collaborate to address the problem of poor air quality. In particular, Kunak joined this project as a supplier of air quality monitoring equipment for installation on athletic tracks around the world (at the moment they have been installed in stadiums in Monaco, Peru, Ethiopia, Mexico, Sydney and Japan.) The alliance signed for the next five years between the IAAF and the UN Environment Program, endorsed by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, aims to install 1000 air quality equipment on athletic tracks certified by the IAAF throughout the world , that provide real-time data on air quality. The pollutants that will be measured include PM2.5 (particles), PM10, O3 and NO2, which according to research are the four main elements that have an impact on the performance of athletes.
UNEA is a biennial gathering of high level delegates from heads of state and ministers of environment to stakeholders in environmental issues. Innovative solutions for environmental challenges and sustainable consumption and production is the theme at this year’s assembly, which opened on 11 March and runs until 15 March with the slogan “think beyond, live within” and hashtag #solvedifferent.
