a review by Mr Not Delia
246 Sukhumvit Road
Not Delia and I had just arrived in Bangkok. It hadn’t been a good journey and both of us were tired, fed up, and hungry. And in spite of Bangkok being full of places to eat, we didn’t fancy any of our usual haunts. Not even the Hyatt’s excellent buffet, which we were far too late to do justice to anyway.
Then a rare moment of inspiration struck me. (ND will happily tell anyone who asks that I’ve got no imagination.) A few years ago while transiting Bangkok we’d grabbed a fairly last-resort lunch at a Korean barbecue in the Times Square shopping mall near Asok BTS/MRT station. I remembered that we’d enjoyed it.
“Do you fancy Korean?”
Her face lit up. “Oh yeah!”
So off we trotted.
The Zok Chon Garden Korean Bar B.Q. is a smallish, low-key place on the corner of the third floor of Times Square. You certainly wouldn’t pick it out for either its branding or its decor; wood-effect Formica is the order of the day. But what it does do, and does excellently, is cheap Korean barbecue food with the traditional kimchi and namole accompaniments.
In fact, that can be a cause for confusion itself. The first Korean restaurants ND and I visited typically offered individual choices of kimchi and namole (small side dishes of vegetables – kimchi is spicy pickled vegetables, namole is blanched vegetables, often with sesame seeds) as separate menu items. But not all of them do that – it’s quite common for them to serve the side dishes as automatic accompaniments to the main dishes. There were none on offer on the menu here, but ND spotted that the steamed rice was followed by the words “(no side dishes)”. So we guessed that we’d be getting the stock supply.
We ordered two of our favourites – pork neck slices without sauce, and squid – and settled down to wait while the waitress turned on the heat for the barbecue. The barbecue was unlike any other we’ve used in a Korean restaurant – most of them have been gas-powered, but this one used infra-red light. Counter-intuitively, the edges seemed to be hotter than the centre.
Meanwhile we’d already ordered our drinks. I was pleased to see that they had Hite lager (Korea’s biggest beer brand) on the menu, so we had a large bottle of that between us. It’s a very clean-tasting beer, certainly compared with other Asian lagers like Singha, Anchor or Tiger.
We also had a bottle of soju. Often mistakenly called “rice wine”, soju is actually a distilled drink not unlike vodka, only sweeter and (usually) less alcoholic. In this case, we were drinking Jinro’s Chamjin Isulro (Chamisul) – again, the top-selling brand in Korea.
It proved hugely difficult to take photos of the beer, though, because almost immediately after I’d lined up the bottle and glass, the kimchi and namole arrived – three of each, and each in its own individual little dish.
The kimchi were pretty much what we would have ordered anyway – radish (mooli or daikon), cabbage and some sort of shredded stalky thing. All of them were delicious.
The namole, likewise, included our all-time favourite – bean sprouts with sesame seeds – and a spinach sort of leaf which we were familiar with and enjoyed. The only odd one was a potatoey thing which included a single slice of red chilli and some strange white thing. Given that we’ve had snail offered as a namole in the past, I wouldn’t like to hazard a guess as to exactly what it was. It was edible, but not terribly nice compared to the others. But hey, you’ve got to try new things every now and again. Besides, if you’re so keen on one particular side dish that you scoff it all, they’ll happily give you a second helping of it.
So once the namole and kimchi arrived, ND and I rearranged the table for a second attempt at getting the photo of the beer done – only to be interrupted by the arrival of the pork and the squid ready for cooking, together with a generous helping of lettuce leaves to wrap the cooked pork or squid in for eating. (This in addition to the bowl of vinegared lettuce we’d received when our plates arrived just after we sat down.)
Eventually everything was on the table and Not Delia was able to start cooking. This was a lot easier here than in other places we’ve been to, where the staff assume that you’re entirely helpless and that they have to do everything for you. Here, the staff let you get on with it if that’s what you want, but are very attentive and quick to help when it’s needed.
One small gripe was that the hotplate tended to stick. A little bit of oil or fat to rub over it before putting the meat on might have helped a bit. But it all worked out well enough in the end. Especially since it was a tasty, satisfying and cheap meal – the whole bill came to about £15 including drinks.
Overall rating: 4½ out of 5
We enjoyed our Korean barbecue meal very much indeed. So much so, in fact, that we went back there with a friend for dinner a couple of nights later, and then even went back yet again ourselves for lunch. Three visits in a six-day stay – that certainly says something about the place!


I shall come straight to the point and express my concern for the safety of the local inhabitants, and most especially the children at Rachel Carson Elementary School. We have a dangerous situation that demands immediate attention.
My family lives in the Swan Ridge neighborhood, directly across from the entry to the new school.
During the entire planning process, we have witnessed a steady stream of difficulties and, in my opinion, some poor decision making. Further I believe that the liaison between the school and the city of Sammamish has been poor, resulting in the potential for a hazardous situation. I have personally expressed this during the entire process many times to both the City and the School District.
Last week we got our first taste of the actual difficulties we are going to experience. It was not a happy situation. It confirmed my worst fears that the design of the ingress and egress to 244th from the school is just plain wrong.
Like many residents in our neighborhood, I have previously written to the City of Sammamish and the District to express our concerns, and many of us have attended open houses and workshops regarding both the extension of 244th Avenue and the new school. We even had a special meeting with Mr. Gurol and Mr. Ireland to discuss our issues, from which we were promised some follow up actions. We have repeatedly expressed concerns about the traffic flow in and out of the new school, and the lack of a plan for dealing with the cars which will be picking up and dropping children, as well as for accommodating daily volunteers and special events.
After the recent open house at the school, I know our concerns are valid. Our entire neighborhood was packed with cars. During a brief period of observation, I saw large SUVs parked without concern, children running across the busy 244th at any and all parts of the school frontage. I also witnessed three instances with hard braking and near accidents — both car-to-people and car-to-car.
The new green school was built with a parking lot which holds about 44 cars. There are 22 teachers and several more staff working at the school, which will largely fill that lot every day. Is the plan to have school visitors park in our neighborhood? Is the plan to have parents pick up their children in our neighborhood at the end of every school day, or have them sit with the engines running in front of our houses until the traffic clears enough for them to dart across the road and pick up their children? We predict the traffic backs-ups on 244th at school start and dismissal times will be terrible. We have repeatedly asked for a plan on how the District and City plan to deal with the entering and exiting issues on 244th and the lack of parking at the new school, and have been ignored.
The entire situation is a death trap waiting to happen.
We would like to suggest the establishment of a similar agreement between Swan Ridge and the District, such as the one that exists for ICS and its neighbors. I would like to suggest that parent volunteers and parents picking up children be directed to park at Inglewood and walk the short distance over to pick up their children. This has been mentioned several times as a “backup plan.” It is totally safe and requires ZERO access to and from 244th. Yet neither the school district nor the City has paid any attention to this set of options.
Today despite the city’s denials, 244th is already an arterial Road. If and when the extension (not an improvement) to 244th opens up, the morning rush hour during school time will be nothing short of chaos. We do not want to see our neighborhood become the site of the death of a child due to thoughtless planning by the District and the City, nor do we want it to become an accessory parking lot. We have many small children living in our neighborhood whose parents bought homes here because the quiet, dead-end streets are safe for their children to play in. The potential daily traffic and car parking will create a major safety hazard for these children not to mention ALL the non-bus-riding children at the school.
I believe that immediate action and school traffic supervisors will be necessary to fix the current problem. The only appropriate long-term solution is to use Inglewood.

First published between 1880 and 1885, Joseph B. Mayor's three-volume edition of De Natura Deorum places Cicero's speculative theological dialogue in the context of the arguments of the Epicureans, the Stoics, the Academics, and their predecessors. Equipped with a detailed commentary and a substantial introduction to the history of Greek philosophy, it remains a clear presentation of Cicero's complex philosophical project, an enquiry into the nature of the divine and its relationship to modes of human perception. Set within the home of the orator Caius Aurelius Cotta, Cicero's Book 1 balances the arguments of the Epicurean Velleius against the Academic Cotta as they debate whether the gods may in any way resemble the human form. A demonstration above all of Cicero's own intellectual rigour and sceptical wit, this volume showcases his careful evaluation of the inheritance of Greek natural philosophy within the Roman intellectual tradition.

Howdy pals! Thanks for tuning in on the latest and greatest in True Messiah news. This month I have the last of the commissioned art, as well as schedule-y stuff that you’ll definitely want to read if you’re following the game at all. Here’s the rundown:
The True Messiah rulebook now has some nice art serving as the background image for each page, as well as lots of images showing what the game pieces look like and illustrating how the rules work. There’s a fully illustrated round from a sample game near the back, and an index for easy look-up of game terms!
I’ll be making a few minor tweaks before this actually goes into production to depict finished components, reflect any final rewording of the rules, and to abide by binding requirements for manufacturing (for example, rulebooks need to have a page count that is a power of 4 due to the way they’re constructed). Such last-minute alterations aside, the rulebook is now finished.
Testing thus far suggests that my hunch from last month was correct: using a 5 x 6 playable area for 2-player results in tighter games than 6 x 6 did, but without the claustrophobic feel and lack of strategic flexibility produced by 4 x 6. I’ve redesigned the board with this new playable area for 2-player games.
In addition, based on playtester feedback, I’ve made the icons which indicate player start positions less in-your-face so as to help preserve the aesthetics of the wasteland. Here’s the new board design:
For the sake of comparison, this is what the board looked like in its previous incarnation.
With all of the game’s art now complete and the game board design finalized, it’s time to finalize the art on the back of the game box! I’d have finalized this already, but I don’t yet have a physical copy of the final game board available to use in the back-of-box picture of the game. A physical prototype is in production; once that arrives, I’ll take the necessary photos, composite them with the rest of the back-of-box stuff, and the box design will be complete.
Aside from changing the 2-player playable area to 5 x 6, there have been no changes to the rules since last time; just balance tweaks to four cards. Fear of God, which I’ve noticed being not-useful-enough in a few too many matches, has been made a bit more powerful and had its cost decreased slightly. On the other side of things, Teleport and Pilgrimage have had their costs increased slightly to reflect how powerful they are when used properly.
The most important of the card tweaks this month, though, was to Fruit of Knowledge. You may recall from last month that when I scrapped the old “miracle seal” rule, I restricted use of Fruit of Knowledge to “the last player in the turn order” during the first round. This particular wording turned out to be a mistake–it allowed the last player in the turn order to attain a numerical temple advantage almost immediately while still retaining his or her tie-breaking advantage in bidding. It sounds obvious in retrospect, but this imbalanced the game.
I’ve since reworded the card to be usable by any player during the first round, but only during the “last player turn” in the turn order. This makes its usage restrictions identical to those imposed by the old miracle seal rule: it keeps the last player in the turn order from being totally hamstrung by Fruit of Knowledge before their first temple is built, but simultaneously prevents them from gaining a free turn to use it where other players cannot.
For Gen Con, I’ve just received the schedule for True Messiah in the First Exposure Playtest Hall! I’ll be running games of True Messiah in 4 time slots:
Thursday: 6 PM – 8 PM
Thursday: 8 PM – 10 PM
Thursday: 10 PM – 12 AM
Friday: 2 PM – 4 PM
(Note: if you’re going to be at Gen Con and you’re not signed up for the Playtest Hall but you want to play True Messiah, just shoot me an email and I’ll try to schedule a time for you to play!)
In addition to Gen Con, I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be running games of True Messiah during all 3 days of ValorCon right here in Chicago. The times:
Friday: 6 PM – 10 PM
Saturday: 12 PM – 4 PM , 6 PM – 10 PM
Sunday: 12 PM – 4 PM , 5 PM – 9 PM
“So Craig,” you might be thinking. “It sounds like the game is pretty much done; maybe it’s time to tell us when the Kickstarter’s gonna hit?” So, I don’t have the exact date yet, but I can tell you this much: my plan is now pretty firmly to begin the Kickstarter for True Messiah sometime in September 2016.
Why September? A few reasons. First, this’ll give me a chance to promote the game at Gen Con in early August while also giving the legions of Gen Con attendees a little time to recover from the financial outlay of attending that vaunted event.
There is also a chance that I’ll be attending PAX West; if I do, this’ll give me a chance to do some last-minute work on promotion and plumping up the mailing list in anticipation of launching the campaign.
Aside from convention considerations, this will give me a chance to get pre-release copies of True Messiah out to various board game reviewers and Youtubers so that I have some recommendations/coverage lined up for the campaign.
Finally, this will ensure that I don’t stumble into the nightmare scenario that is running a Kickstarter campaign in the looming shadow of Christmas. Been there, done that: it sucked. I don’t want to go past late October with any campaign I run, and as such, September becomes the sweet spot.
Welp, that’s all I’ve got for this month, compadres. Don’t forget to sign up below if you want an email notification when the campaign launches! 🙂

Disclaimer: I want to give full gravity to how difficult, maybe impossible, the thought of forgiveness may feel. When deep-seated hurt is present, forgiving those who hurt you may be the last thing that you want to do. This article will address some strong realities about the dangers of living with unforgiveness as well as healing that can be found through forgiveness.
3 Myths about forgiveness:
Forgive and forget: For years, I have heard these words. I understand the sentiment, but this is not always easy. I agree that forgiveness can lead to healing and restoration. However, for many people, this concept feels very invalidating. Forgiveness does not negate what happened, and forgetting things that caused emotional pain is not realistic.
Forgiveness erases pain: Forgiveness is not always a once and done thing. It is a conscious choice that we make to stop allowing anger and bitterness to reign in our lives. It requires us to decide to stop feeding off of the hurt. Forgiveness does not heal the pain, especially the deep wounds.
Resentment has no purpose: Resentment is not healthy and can destroy relationships, but it does serve a purpose. It can give us a sense of control when we feel an extreme loss of control. Just to be clear, I am not recommending living with resentment, but I do understand if this is how you feel.
So, what is forgiveness?
I define forgiveness as a choice to let go of hatred, anger, and resentment. When we tell someone that we forgive them, we are saying “I am tired of carrying this burden and I no longer want to hold my pain against you.” We are not saying that things are all better or that we can just pick up where we left off. You may say, “I am willing to start the restoration process with you.” Sometimes a restoration of relationship would be unwise, especially when abuse-related trauma is involved. In any case, breaking the chains of resentment and bitterness can lead to personal healing and restoration.
What if I am not ready to forgive?
It is okay if you are not ready yet. Forgiveness is a very personal process and there is nothing easy about it. When people do hurtful things, we feel the pain. You may find yourself feeling cynical or jaded. You may find it hard to trust others. You allow yourself to become emotionally numb to avoid gut-wrenching agony. You put up walls and no longer allow people to really know you. Heck, you’re not even sure if you know you!
4 Steps to breaking the chains:
If you are ready to start the process of forgiveness, take heart! Nothing is easy about it, but emotional peace and personal restoration are attainable.
1. Recognize that you are in chains. If you don’t recognize that the resentment that you are experiencing is holding you back from the peace that could be yours, then this is the first step.
2. Address the pain. Past hurts may seem insurmountable, but the only way to slay the beast is to face it. If your beasts feel too big to face alone, I suggest that you seek out a local counselor in your area to join you in your battle.
3. Acknowledge that the past does not define your future. Forgiveness can be a daily decision. As you fully forgive, you will feel the weight on your shoulders begin easing. Keep going because you are running toward emotional restoration and freedom!
4. Give yourself a break. A little grace for self can go a long way. If you are not able to fully forgive right away, that is okay. It just means you are human. Take it one day at a time.

Enhancing financial and professional growth…
|For Immediate Release||Contact: Ginie Lynch, 443-614-2772|
Alexandria, VA – An education nonprofit is launching an innovative peer-to-peer financial literacy program with North Carolina Central University (NCCU)’s School of Business to give students the opportunity to teach their peers about financial education.
“Financial literacy is an important life skill,” said Theodore “Ted” Daniels, Founder and President of the Society for Financial Education and Professional Development (SFE&PD).
“We are pleased to collaborate with NCCU on the SFE&PD Student Ambassador Program, where the Ambassadors will gain financial knowledge and skills to teach fellow students about financial issues, such as student loan debt, credit, investment, and homeownership.”
Four students — Danielle Newton, Ambrose Bond, Khalil Woods and Theo Tagoe — were selected as ambassadors in the SFE&PD Student Ambassador Program by Dr. Kofi Amoateng, a Professor of Finance in NCCU’s School of Business who will serve as the program’s faculty oversight professor. The program will provide students with the opportunity to gain leadership skills while learning how to teach their peers about personal finance in engaging ways.
NCCU Student Ambassadors understand the value of financial education for their future and sharing this knowledge with fellow students. “Today’s high school and incoming college freshman are bombarded with financial information,” said Student Ambassador Ambrose Bond. “This program will help highlight misinformation and overlooked financial information students need to survive in today’s globalized world.” Student Ambassador Khalil Woods agreed. “In today’s society, financial literacy is one of the most important tools to have in your arsenal,” Woods said. “SFE&PD is supplying people of ages with knowledge of financial literacy to help individuals prepare themselves for the real world.”
For the past 20 years, SFE&PD has taught financial literacy training workshops to thousands of individuals and college students with a focus on underserved communities. NCCU is the 13th university to join SFE&PD’s Student Ambassador Program. The SFE&PD Student Ambassador Program is supported by Wells Fargo Hands on Banking®. All trainings will be open to the campus community and the public.

Only diehard fans will probably know that Chris Evans and Lizzo have had flirtatious chats with each other since 2019. Their recent one had fans wishing the pair could date.
On TikTok last week, Lizzo shared a video where she replied to someone wanting to confirm if the child the singer was carrying was Chris Evans’. In her response to the question, the star posted another clip.
With the “Captain America” soundtrack playing in the background, Lizzo confessed that she had been trying to keep her pregnancy a secret but was now ready to address the rumors.

The singer confirmed that they were; indeed, pregnant leading the announcement to go viral. This week, the star posted a follow-up TikTok clip that showed the direct messages between her and Evans, with the actor writing:
“Hi! Just heard about our bundle of joy. My mother will be so happy lol."
The messages also included one where Evans wished the musician a happy birthday. Even though the pair aren’t dating, and the child is definitely not the actor’s, fans shared how they’d support a relationship between the stars.
A third person shared a funny Photoshopped snap of Evans as a groom, Lizzo as his bride, and Anthony Mackie as the shirtless wedding officiant. They asked the pair, whom they called “Chrizzo,” when the wedding was.
Another Twitter user speculated how the two stars dating would literally heal the country. Someone else also shared how “incredibly happy” they would be for both stars if they ended up dating for real.
Lizzo has been reaching out to Evans on social media for a while now for those who didn't know. Their first interaction happened in 2019 when the song "Juice" was a hit track, and she was just blowing up.
At the time, the actor had retweeted the singer’s post that showed an adorable little girl dancing to one of the vocalist's songs. Lizzo captioned the post saying how it was rare footage of her dancing as a child.
Evans quoted lyrics from the song saying how the child in the video was cooler than he could ever hope to be. Lizzo took that moment to reply to him, asking if he would marry her, and the rest is history.
Their [Lizzo and Harry Styles] bond formed over a few months in 2020...
In April 2021, the musician jumped into Evans' direct messages at around 5:30 p.m. to hit on him again while allegedly drunk. He went along with the flirtation noting how there wasn’t any shame in messaging when drunk.
However, the last person Evans was rumored to be dating was fellow actor Lily James. In July 2020, the duo was seen getting all cozy together while in London on two separate occasions.
Evans never publically addressed the rumors at the time, and James also kept quiet. Besides James, Evans has been linked to Jenny Slate, Minka Kelly, Lily Collins, Sandra Bullock, Ashley Greene, and more.
Ultimately, it seems Lizzo and the "Avengers: Age of Ultron” actor are just social media friends. Another famous person that the singer actually has a close friendship with fellow musician, Harry Styles.
Their bond formed over a few months in 2020 as both stars are advocates for acceptance and self-love. The duo even created covers of each other’s songs and surprised fans with joint performances earning the name Hizzo.

Murrayhill comeback magic doesn't work this time
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - This time, for the first time in a long time, a Murrayhill comeback fell short.
The Murrayhill Little League Majors all-stars, facing Georgia's Columbus Northern Little League in the U.S. Championship game at the Little League World Series, fell behind early on Saturday, just as they had in their previous two Series victories.
And just as they had in those two previous wins, Murrayhill came storming back late in game to tie the score.
But this time, Georgia had an answer that Murrayhill's previous two victims had not.
Right on the heels' of Murrayhill's three-run fourth inning - an inning punctuated by Trevor Nix's two-run homer to left field - Georgia responded with one run in the top of the fifth and three more in the top of the sixth to pull away and win 7-3 before 25,200 fans at Lamade Stadium. In the process, Georgia secured the U.S. crown and a berth into the overall Series championship vs. the winner of tonight's Asia vs. Mexico; the Series championship is set for 12:30 p.m. (PT) Sunday, while Murrayhill will play the Asia/Mexico loser in the third-place game at 9 a.m. (PT) Sunday.
'We had a few tears in the dugout after the game, but that's OK,' said Murrayhill manager Jeff Keller. 'These are 12- and 13-year-old kids and they just wanted to win this ballgame. But we can walk away as the second-best team in the U.S. and I'm proud of that.'
For their part, Murrayhill's players seem to rebound quickly following the loss, their attention more focused on what they'd accomplished than what they'd lost.
'We were kind of surprised just to make it here,' said first baseman Devon DeJardin. 'But we tried our hardest and we know that even if we lost, we're still stars.'
'We're feeling a little down. The team's down,' said left fielder Austin Perry, who came off the bench to single in his lone at-bat, knock in Murrayhill's first run and score its second. 'But they were just a good ballclub. They were the better team today.'
Falling behind early
Georgia went about proving that fact right away Saturday afternoon, breaking through for three runs in the top of the first against Murrayhill ace Jace Fry (seven runs [six earned] on eight hits and six walks with six strikeouts).
Georgia got things going with two outs and Cody Walker aboard on a fielder's choice. From there, J.T. Phillips walked and Patrick Stallings followed with an RBI single to center field. Brady Hamilton came up next and sent a hard single past Murrayhill third baseman Toma Matisoff into left for a 2-0 edge, and Georgia made it 3-0 when Murrayhill shortstop Derek Keller couldn't handle Kyle Rovig's grounder.
And there, at 3-0, is where the score stayed for the next three innings, though Murrayhill had a great chance to get on the scoreboard in its half of the first. In that at-bat, Fry led off with a single and Bryan Domogalla walked before Georgia pitcher J.T. Phillips (six hits and one walk with eight strikeouts) got Derek Keller on a strikeout and Lester robbed Sam Albert by making a fully extended grab of Albert's hard liner. Phillips then ended the threat by striking out Miguel Rivera.
But with Fry back on form after the first inning - he shut Georgia out in the second, third and fourth innings while striking out five in that span - Murrayhill still had time. The Beaverton stars finally took advantage of their opportunity in the bottom of the fourth when Albert led off with a looping opposite-field single to left, took second on a wild pitch and scored on Perry's single to center field.
Things got even more exciting for Murrayhill after that too. Phillips got the next two batters out -- with first baseman Kyle Carter absolutely robbing DeJardin on a screaming line drive for the first out - but Trevor Nix made sure his team wasn't done yet. He stepped to the plate with two outs and launched a long, high home run to left field that also brought Perry home to tie the game at 3-3.
'We thought about a lot of the close games that we had come back to win in the fifth and sixth innings,' Matisoff said. 'And we knew we just needed to get another one.'
But Georgia didn't die - not in the least. In the top of the fifth, Phillips walked, took second on a passed ball and scored when Hamilton sent a looping single into left field just past Derek Keller's outstretched arm for a 4-3 edge.
Murrayhill managed just a two-out Albert single in the bottom of the fifth, and when he couldn't score, Georgia went back on the attack. In the top of the sixth, Ryan Lang walked, took second when Nix's pickoff throw went awry and then third when Fry's first pitch to Carter - the first pitch of an intentional walk - turned into a wild pitch.
Lester then singled hard to center field to plate Lang, and Walked lined a double down the left field line - a ball very nearly caught by Perry - to bring home two more for the final 7-3 margin of victory.
'Giving up three like that in the sixth - that took some of the steam out of the kids' eyes,' Jeff Keller said.
'We thought we'd come back. That was the thought,' Perry said. 'But they came back and put the ball in play.'
'Now we know how it feels,' Matisoff said of watching Georgia's late-game heroics.
And for the first time in a long time, a very, very long time, Murrayhill was out of the running for the biggest prize in Little League baseball.
'I've just got to say congratulations to (Georgia),' Jeff Keller said. 'Jace hasn't been hit like that before probably ever. But they're all winners in my eyes. They're all heroes.'
Albert went 2-for-3 and scored once to lead Murrayhill while Nix finished 1-for-3 with two RBIs. Walker was the only Georgia player with more than one hit - he finished 2-for-4 with two RBIs and one run scored.

New UWS degree preparing tomorrow's police leaders
An innovative program at the University of Western Sydney is helping the next generation of police leaders to lay the foundation for a future career serving the community.
18 high-achieving students have begun their studies in the new Bachelor of Policing (Leadership Program), which is taught at the UWS Penrith and Bankstown campuses.
The degree, which requires an ATAR of at least 90.00, equips students with specialist knowledge and skills to enable them to become a leader in the NSW Police Force, as well as in other related organisations, such as national intelligence agencies, customs, corrections and juvenile justice.
"This new program is a jewel in the crown of UWS's police education and training," says Professor Karl Roberts, Director of Policing Studies at the University.
"The curriculum recognises the complexities and challenges of contemporary policing, and explores the application of policing practice to a changing Australian society."
As part of the new program, students have the opportunity to work as an intern with either NSW Police or associated criminal justice agencies, giving them the opportunity to use their academic knowledge in a real-life professional context.
"Students also take tailored, extension-level units as part of the UWS Academy – a groundbreaking leadership program at the University that offers a unique learning experience focused on ethical leadership and personal development," Professor Roberts says.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Barney Glover says the new program complements the already well-established and respected suite of undergraduate and postgraduate policing degrees at UWS, and is part of the University's wider commitment to police training and education in NSW.
"Policing is a profession that has certainly experienced renewed interest and recognition among the community in recent times, and the University is pleased to play a part in preparing students for a future career in police leadership and law enforcement," he says.
"The University is building capacity in western Sydney for high-quality policing education, research and training, which includes our well-established forensics laboratories and leadership facilities based at our Hawkesbury campus."

The Role Of Intracellular Acidosis In Muscle Fatigue
The Role of Intracellular Acidosis in Muscle Fatigue Part of the Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology book series (AEMB, volume 384) Muscle fatigue is often accompanied by an intracellular acidosis of variable size. The variability reflects the involvement of different metabolic pathways, the presence or absence of blood flow and the effectiveness of pH-regulating pathways. Intracellular acidosis affects many aspects of muscle cell function; for instance it reduces maximal Ca2+-activated force and Ca2+ sensitivity, slows the maximal shortening velocity and prolongs relaxation. However, acidosis is not the only metabolic change in fatigue which causes each of the above, and there are important aspects of muscle fatigue (e.g., the failure of Ca2+ release) which do not appear to be caused by acidosis.

Anion gap usmle - anion gap metabolic acidosis normal anion gap metabolic acidosis
Metabolic acidosis is a condition that occurs when the body produces excessive quantities of acid or when the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body. If unchecked, metabolic acidosis leads to acidemia, i.e., blood pH is low (less than 7.35) due to increased production of hydrogen ions by the body or the inability of the body to form bicarbonate (HCO3−) in the kidney. Its causes are diverse, and its consequences can be serious, including coma and death. Together with respiratory acidosis, it is one of the two general causes of acidemia. Terminology : Acidosis refers to a process that causes a low pH in blood and tissues. Acidemia refers specifically to a low pH in the blood. In most cases, acidosis occurs first for reasons explained below. Free hydrogen ions then diffuse into the blood, lowering the pH. Arterial blood gas analysis detects acidemia (pH lower than 7.35). When acidemia is present, acidosis is presumed. Signs and symptoms Symptoms are not specific, and diagnosis can be difficult unless the patient presents with clear indications for arterial blood gas sampling. Symptoms may include chest pain, palpitations, headache, altered mental status such as sev
8.7 Use of Bicarbonate in Metabolic Acidosis Metabolic acidosis causes adverse metabolic effects (see Section 5.4 ). In particular the adverse effects on the cardiovascular system may cause serious clinical problems. Bicarbonate is an anion and cannot be given alone. Its therapeutic use is as a solution of sodium bicarbonate. An 8.4% solution is a molar solution (ie it contains 1mmol of HCO3- per ml) and is the concentration clinically available in Australia. This solution is very hypertonic (osmolality is 2,000 mOsm/kg). The main goal of alkali therapy is to counteract the extracellular acidaemia with the aim of reversing or avoiding the adverse clinical effects of the acidosis (esp the adverse cardiovascular effects). Other reasons for use of bicarbonate in some cases of acidosis are: to promote alkaline diuresis (eg to hasten salicylate excretion) 8.7.2 Undesirable effects of bicarbonate administration In general, the severity of these effects are related to the amount of bicarbonate used. These undesirable effects include: 8.7.3 Important points about bicarbonate 1. Ventilation must be adequate to eliminate the CO2 produced from bicarbonate Bicarbonate decreases H+ by reacting
Metabolic acidosis is a clinical disturbance characterized by an increase in plasma acidity. Metabolic acidosis should be considered a sign of an underlying disease process. Identification of this underlying condition is essential to initiate appropriate therapy. (See Etiology, DDx, Workup, and Treatment.) Understanding the regulation of acid-base balance requires appreciation of the fundamental definitions and principles underlying this complex ...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Small to Medium Farmholders Improving Horticulture Production Through Climate Smart Agriculture
[DAVIS] – The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Horticulture is delighted to announce the launch of three regionally-led initiatives – two research initiatives and one fellowship program – to be coordinated by the Horticulture Innovation Lab’s Central America Regional Hub Managers, Julio Lopez, Celia Trejo and Patricia Arce from Zamorano University.
These 3.5-year projects focus on determining appropriate climate smart agricultural technologies for horticulture producers in Honduras and Guatemala. Additionally, the research specifically aims to increase the nutrition and income of small-holder women farmers. Climate change mitigation and adaptation, through protected cultivation and improved soil health, were identified as a priority by the horticulture sector in Central America during a stakeholder meeting in 2022. The three projects and their foci are as follows:
- Promoting technology for horticulture production for adaptation to climate change in Guatemala led by Rolando Cifuentes and Catalina Galdamez from the Universidad del Valle de Guatemala (UVG) - will strengthen smallholder farmer sustainability in the Western Highlands of Guatemala by identifying the most effective climate-smart production methods, irrigation schemes, practices to improve soil health, and postharvest technologies. The multidisciplinary approach will be developed by and with women and youth small farmers who produce tomato, potato, green beans, peas, strawberry, broccoli, and edible herbs, among others, for the local market - through a process of “Learning by Doing.”
- Promoting Small Farm Technologies for Climate Smart Agriculture and Market Access in Guatemala led by José Salvador Vega Prado Leiva with Acceso in collaboration with Edgar Garcia from Rafael Landivar University, Guatemala - will research climate smart agricultural technologies that, when used in combination, will generate rapid returns on investment for producers in the Guatemalan highlands. This research will increase access to viable technologies to build resilience to climate change, while also promoting gender-equity for communities of smallholder farmers.
- Empowering Young Horticulture Researchers in Honduras will be led by Julio Lopez as part of the Zamorano Fellowship, a program that provides seed funding to higher-education students in Honduras to conduct small-scale research projects across the horticulture value chain. Students will be guided through a grant drafting and submission training program, while awardees will receive funding and mentorship in the implementation of their research projects.
With many smallholder farmers experiencing the effects of climate change around the world, equitable, climate-smart agricultural practices are critical to build resilience. The projects being initiated in Central America address not only regional but global priorities. “Thanks to the collaboration and cooperation provided by the Horticulture Innovation Lab, these projects,” Julio Lopez notes, “will strengthen the horticultural value chains that small producers are developing, in order to place quality and safe products in the market, for food and nutrition security.”
"We're thrilled to support Escuela Agrícola Panamericana Zamorano and all of our Principal Investigators in taking on this global priority," said Erin McGuire, Director of the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Horticulture. "Through a focus on climate-smart agriculture and the empowerment of smallholder farmers, particularly women, we're not just addressing immediate needs but building a foundation for sustainable growth and resilience.”
Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Horticulture, also known as the Horticulture Innovation Lab, is funded by the United States Agency for International Development as part of the Feed the Future global hunger and food security initiative, based at the University of California, Davis, within the Department of Plant Sciences. With a focus on horticultural, social and technological advancements, we develop groundbreaking solutions to improve nutrition and food security. As advocates for innovations and policies that promote gender equity, social and environmental responsibility, we are dedicated to improving the livelihoods of smallholder farmers while empowering communities through horticulture, including better access to nutrition and healthy diets.

Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Facility at the Deveselu Military Base (Bucharest, Romania)
MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russia’s Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday that the U.S. installation of a European missile defence shield in Romania, due to go live on Thursday, was a violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, Interfax reported.
The shield is on the verge of being activated almost a decade after Washington proposed protecting NATO from Iranian rockets and despite Russian warnings that the West is threatening the peace in central Europe.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said the decision to install the shield in Romania was a mistake and directly affected Russia’s national security.

Having been in the business of supplying the stuff... The term "tear gas" has been misused since WWll. There are two formulas used by law enforcement, CN and the stronger CS which are actually fine solid particulates. The original military delivery system was via generated smoke, thus the "gas" tag
Cold deployments disperses the powder by a pressure or popper charge. They rely on the suspect(s) to spread it up and around by traveling through it or attempting to cover/clean it up. Thus 'cold' deployment works better in confined areas. Another cold delivery more commonly recognised by its trade name is "Mace". Mace is simply CN or CS suspended in a pressurised liquid carrier.
Pyrotechnic deployments (nicknamed burners) disperse the particulates throughout an open area or building via generated smoke. The smoke also serves to reduce visual abilities. This also allows the use of additional smoke generators to increase the area of application without increasing the particulate saturation level.
My take is they didn't know if Dorner had a gas mask that could defeat the cold deployments. However, gas mask filters eventually do sustain a point of failure, so switching to "burners" to dramatically increase the level of particulate saturation in order to bring about such a failure was tactically correct and totally justified.
As to starting the fire... After the SLA shootout, a HUGE amount of R&D brought major changes to the manufacture, training and use of "burners". One thing is finite. The decision to deploy burners in any tactical situation (especially where a fire could be ignited) is a well discussed decision, often made far above the pay grades of the boots on the ground. So any inference the use of burners against Dorner was indiscriminate or to intentionally "fry the bad guy" is not only totally absurd, it's the product of a mind even more twisted than Dorner's.

While the Diablo franchise has largely been designed for PC gamers, Diablo 3 marked the first time the company brought the series onto consoles. However due the different online systems used by Sony and Microsoft, console players could not play with each other. However Blizzard had previously hinted that cross-play was something they were interested in.
The company had stated back then that cross-play was something they wanted to explore and was interested in, but unfortunately it seems that there are no plans to implement it now for. Blizzard has since released a statement confirming that they do not have plans to support cross-play at this time.
The statement made to DualShockers reads, “While we love the idea of bringing our players together across platforms, we do not have any plans to implement cross-platform gameplay for Diablo at this time.” This doesn’t mean that Blizzard has completely shut the doors on cross-play support, but just don’t expect to see it anytime soon.
Many had expected that Blizzard might be serious about cross-play implementation after they announced that Diablo 3 would be launching on the Nintendo Switch. Plus after seeing titles such as Fortnite gain cross-play support across all platforms, some saw a glimmer of hope, but it doesn’t look like that will be happening anymore (at least for now).

PENSACOLA, Fla. (WKRG) — The mother of a 2-year-old girl who was abused last year is telling her side of the story.
Maranda Mixson was charged with child neglect. Her boyfriend at the time, Andrew Bennett Ross Celauis, was charged with aggravated child abuse, but he killed himself in the Escambia County Jail.
Mixson said her world has been flipped upside down. Her three kids were taken away from, her but she had no idea what was happening to her youngest child.
“100 percent, I did not know about the abuse that was occurring,” Mixson said.
Mixson said she moved out of state after receiving death threats.
“The past year and a half has been, you know, just trying to rebuild what’s been broken,” she said. “It’s been extremely difficult.”
She was living at a home on Betty Road with Ross Celauis in early 2019. Deputies say he was caught on home cameras torturing Mixson’s daughter while wearing a werewolf mask, burning her skin, shooting an airsoft gun at her and the child was seen wearing a dog shock collar.
“Take into account that this man wore a mask every time he abused her, so in the eyes of a 2-year-old, she wasn’t being abused by Ben, she was being abused by this werewolf character,” Mixson said. “She did not show any signs that he was harming her.”
She said she first took her child to the hospital after seeing marks on her skin, but they told her it was ringworm. She went back twice after that before it was determined to be abuse.
She said Ross Celauis never showed them any signs of violence toward them.
“He never even yelled at us,” she said. “He also had three children of his own who frequented our house, and he was not abusive toward them either.”
Before he was set to go to trial, he killed himself in the Escambia County Jail.
“The man was a sociopath,” Mixson said.
Now she has a message for other mothers.
“You have to be careful with who you leave your kids with because people are very good at putting masks on,” she said.
She’s serving 24 months of probation and plans to appeal the charges. She says she is doing everything she can to get her three children back. A GoFundMe has been set up to help Mixson get an attorney and get her children back.

The number of councils in Wales will be slashed to as few as 10 under "radical" plans put up for consultation today.
The Welsh Government has today announced its latest plans to streamline the number of councils.
Public services cabinet secretary Alun Davies is the third minister to look at changes to the structure of Wales' 22 councils following Leighton Andrews and Mark Drakeford.
The proposal published today includes the option of the following councils merging together:
- Anglesey and Gwynedd
- Conwy and Denbighshire
- Flintshire and Wrexham
- Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire
- Swansea and Neath Port Talbot
- Bridgend, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil
- Vale of Glamorgan and Cardiff
- Newport and Caerphilly
- Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent and Monmouthshire
The average population of the new areas would be just over 311,000.
Mr Davies laid out three ways that councils could be reorganised to be better run.
The options laid out by the cabinet secretary are between voluntary mergers, a phased approach or a comprehensive merger programme.
Mr Davies says that there should be fewer, larger authorities.
The consultation document reads: “The Welsh Government believes that it is time to seriously examine creating fewer, larger local authorities.
"We have considered other alternatives, such as a long-term boundary review, two-tier local authorities, creating combined authorities or taking some services out of local control, as well as continued voluntary regional working.”
But he says it has to be more than just changing the size and number of councils.
“Creating new stronger, more sustainable local authorities, supported by appropriate regional delivery, will build on the advantages of our current system while addressing the challenges it faces”.
A Green Paper consultation lays out the proposals.
Mr Davies said: “I believe in public service and the fundamental role local government plays in communities across Wales.
“Wales needs strong, effective, empowered local authorities which can weather continued austerity and build local democratic structures fit for future generations. I do not believe that our local authorities, as currently constituted, can fully play this role; and I am not alone.
“Councils have been clear that services are wearing down to the point of collapse and there is a general acceptance that things cannot carry on as they are and a general acknowledgement that more money, even if it were available, would not solve the problem.
“I also know local government has made real efforts to change, adapt and invest for the future but I also understand that in the face of UK Government cuts, there are limited options to ensuring the future sustainability of local services. Unless we do something radical in response to these challenges we all recognise, the role of local government will increasingly be one of managed decline.
“The next step must be game-changing. I believe there are many in local government who understand this and I am committed to working with them to secure change. I have already announced proposals to increase participation and improve the democratic process for everyone in Wales, today I am launching a consultation on further re-invigorating the local government landscape.”
He said: “I recognise there are a number of challenges in creating larger, stronger authorities; but these challenges are not insurmountable. If we do proceed with one of the options for creating larger authorities in the future, we will provide early practical support to local authorities.”
What do councils think?
The Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) has issued a statement.
They said: "Local government was already responding proactively to the previous reform programme of regional collaboration and is progressing with the City and Growth Deal agenda. Consequently, this announcement has caused disquiet and confusion. It has arrived midway through the Assembly term and following the recent WG assurance that no reorganisation would occur for 10 years.
"It is not surprising that local authorities will want to clarify and digest the implications of another shift in government policy in an area where there have been a significant number of previous reports and commissions. The proposals are yet to be fully costed and most academic analysis concludes that such reform programmes rarely deliver the savings or changes in performance that were hoped.
"We have had a number of constructive discussions with Cabinet Secretary about reform and empowering local government, and we thank him for his engagement. He is attending the WLGA council meeting this Friday and his proposals will undoubtedly generate a full and rigorous debate.
"In the meantime authorities will continue to work in developing city and growth deals at the regional level which has been fully supported by Welsh Government to date. Crucially, WLGA will continue to press the case for proper funding of councils. As current examples in England show scale is not an answer to the crisis in social care and deepening austerity. Merging authorities on the breadline to create larger authorities without the necessary resources is not a sustainable solution to the problems councils face."
Politicians had their say in the Senedd too:
Conservative Janet Finch-Saunders said it was “yet another attempt to get a grip of a failed local government system”.
She said the blame was not with council staff, but with the Welsh Government.
She said that while Mr Davies had said he was committed to bringing forward change she had been presented with a 70 page green paper just hours before it was presented to the Senedd did not allow thorough scrutiny.
Mr Davies responded saying his suggestions were the beginning of a conversation about the future of local government.
Plaid Cymru’s Sian Gwenllian said that this was the latest step in the “saga” of local government.
“After two years of going in one direction under Mark Drakeford, we’re seeing a new cabinet secretary bringing a green paper forward with a substantial and shocking u-turn in this saga, this farce poses fundamental questions on the ability of this Government to govern effectively.“
Lynne Neagle Torfaen AM said she had made her concerns about the reorganisation of local government “during a time of austerity” clear to Mr Davies.
She said that Torfaen did offer to voluntarily merge which was declined.
“There is no shortage of willingness to cooperate in Torfaen,” she said.
She asked the cost of the reorganisation.
Mr Davies responded saying that the ideas in the paper were suggestions and could be changed.
He said the detail had not been worked out, as it was not as simple as considering each option in the paper - there would be modifications.
Ukip’s Gareth Bennett said reorganisation had been “long in the making”.
But he said he thought that people in local government would be “relieved” they had got to the point of a green paper.

Thanks for the program reference, I haven’t yet had a chance to do anything with it, but it looks like it should be helpful. That site has some pretty good links as well. The compression portions are stiffened and I am using the effective section properties, so I believe I am taking into account the local buckling strengths. I just wanted to be sure I was taking into account the LTB issues.
Bob Riley, P.E.
Are the compression portions of your hat stiffened? i.e. is it a U-shaped section or do the points on the U have lips to stiffen it? Without being stiffened, I would think that LTB could possibly be a concern, but local buckling of the compression elements would be more of a problem.
Check out this free downloadable program for finite strip analysis by Ben Schafer at Johns Hopkins http://www.ce.jhu.edu/bschafer/. I used it once for column loading on a light-gage U-shaped member to back up some hand calcs. It took maybe an hour or two to figure out the program, but it gave me some great results that I was able to back up and feel very comfortable with.
