As the Best of 2012 series continues on MLSsoccer.com, we're counting down the 12 most important stories of the year in Major League Soccer. We'll take a look at one story per day from Dec. 19 until Dec. 30, when we unveil what our panel of 20 editors, writers, videographers and statistics specialists voted as the Story of the Year in MLS in 2012.
Next up: Wondo's World. San Jose Earthquakes star Chris Wondolowski not only won the league MVP in 2012, but also tied one of its most storied marks first set by Roy Lassiter in 1996. Earthquakes beat writer Geoff Lepper examines Wondo's work ethic and how it defined his dogged pursuit of the single-season scoring record.
When San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski was conducting a conference call with Bay Area reporters to mark his claiming of the 2012 MLS Most Valuable Player award, a team staffer jokingly asked if the 29-year-old had been an MVP during his AYSO youth soccer days.
“I don’t think so,” Wondolowski said. “I definitely got a participation trophy. That’s the only one I kept, though.”
It was a throwaway punch line in the midst of a whirlwind media tour, but it resonated simply because it summed up so much of what Wondolowski represented while he chased down Roy Lassiter to forge a first-place tie atop the league’s all-time single-season scoring charts with 27 goals.
Wondolowski can’t run like Marvin Chávez, can’t blast a ball like Víctor Bernárdez, doesn’t have the size of Alan Gordon and lacks the wild-bull aggression of Steven Lenhart. But nobody, on the Quakes or any other club in MLS, will outwork Wondolowski.
Put it this way: Nobody will participate more tirelessly than the Quakes star.

Chris Wondolowski ties the record
I was upset at the media during the middle of the season, because I thought they jinxed him. He was on fire and tearing through it, and he probably would have scored 40 goals, you know? And then the media made a big deal about it and he went on an eight-game drought, and he was not scoring. I was just wondering, "What did they just do to this guy?" At that point I didn’t think he was going to break it, I was just hoping he would get back in form for the playoffs. And lo and behold, the guy started rattling them off again. The dude is clutch.
I wasn’t there because I was injured, but I was nervous just watching on TV at home. I was nervous for him. I told [Steven Lenhart], "Make sure you go down in the box, man." Not diving, just to get Wondo a PK. And that was how it played out.
When Wondo scored his 27th goal to tie the record, that really special for all of us, not just him. We all really love Wondo and we’re happy for success, and it was really cool to be part of that.
The 2010 Golden Boot winner (and 2011 co-league leader) opened with 11 goals in 10 matches, and the talk of replacing Lassiter — who set his mark with the Tampa Bay Mutiny in 1996, MLS’ inaugural season — heated up in earnest once Wondolowski got to 17 with a hat trick against shorthanded Real Salt Lake on July 14.
When Wondolowski managed just one goal, off a penalty kick in Toronto on Aug. 18, in San Jose’s next seven matches, the chase seemed stalled in its tracks. The Bay Area native still needed nine goals to match Lassiter’s total with just seven games left on the schedule, yet he batted back questions about the idea of a slump by pointing to the Quakes’ record: “We’ve won three of our last four games. It’s hard to be in a slump when you’re winning.”
A stoppage-time goal in an international friendly against Mexican side San Luis FC on Sept. 6 gave a little hint that Wondolowski — who finished the schedule on almighty tears to pass Edson Buddle in 2010 and tie Dwayne De Rosario in 2011 — was back on the scent. A strike against Chivas USA on Sept. 15, followed by a brace off the bench — the only regular-season match for which Wondolowski was available but didn’t start, as coach Frank Yallop tried to give him a boost — vs. Portland four days later proved it.
No. 22 came in Seattle on Sept. 22, and then Wondolowski delivered his second hat trick of the season at Colorado on Oct. 6, scoring in his usual multitude of ways; chesting one pass into the net, tallying a second on a deflected shot and finding the third thanks to a nifty drag-and-turn move inside the Rapids’ penalty area. That performance left him on 25 goals, vaulting him past Taylor Twellman (23 in 2002), Raúl Díaz Arce (23 in 1996) and Carlos Ruiz (24 in 2002) and into fourth place on the league’s all-time list. It also gave Wondolowski sole ownership of the club’s career scoring mark, pushing Ronald Cerritos — a former San Jose legend whom Wondolowski watched growing up — down one spot.
Wondolowski needed two goals in as many matches to tie the record, three to break it, and the eyes of the MLS world were all on him as San Jose hosted LA Galaxy on Oct. 21 in their final home match of the year — which also was the day the club officially broke ground on its new soccer-specific stadium. With league commissioner Don Garber and Lassiter himself on hand, Wondolowski clanged balls off the woodwork twice early in the second half, but broke through in the 73rd minute, diving low to head home a Chávez corner kick and bag No. 26.
Lassiter was in the house at JELD-WEN Field on Oct. 27 when the Quakes — already assured of the Supporters’ Shield — came to Portland looking unabashedly to get Wondolowski a record-breaking brace. The first tally came early, Wondolowski going low and left with a 24th-minute penalty kick to beat Donovan Ricketts and join Lassiter on hallowed ground. But the second eluded Wondolowski, even as he kept grinding away, trying desperately to nick one more.
In the end, it wasn’t to be, leaving folks to wonder about what would have happened had Wondolowski converted some of those near-misses — or if teammate Justin Morrow hadn’t been called for encroachment on Wondolowski’s successful PK try against FC Dallas on July 18, giving Kevin Hartman an opportunity to save the follow-up attempt.
Wondolowski, though, took a positive outlook, especially when a reporter mentioned that Lassiter had said he found it impossible to repeat his success after 1996 because he was always chasing his own previous accomplishments.
“The good news is, I can still say I’m chasing Roy Lassiter,” Wondolowski said. “I don’t necessarily have to chase myself.”

Neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer that develops from a type of nerve cell called neural crest cells, is the third most common cancer affecting children. While current treatments have improved outcomes, they can cause long-term side effects and they don’t work for everyone: About 50% of high-risk patients don’t respond to the initial therapy or experience a recurrence.
To bring renewed hope for patients with hard-to-treat neuroblastomas, Judith G. Villablanca, MD, from the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles co-founded the New Approaches to Neuroblastoma Therapy (NANT) consortium, where she works in the NANT Operations Center that provides the infrastructure for development and conduct of clinical trials.
Villablanca and her colleagues designed the consortium as a conduit to fast-track promising new therapies. Specifically, NANT focuses on filling a key gap in the pipeline from laboratory discoveries to approved therapies, conducting early-phase clinical trials that test the safety of new approaches and provide preliminary data on how well they might work. If these early studies are successful, NANT partners with the Children’s Oncology Group — a national group that performs children’s cancer trials — to move potential treatments forward in larger clinical trials.
“NANT is the only clinical trials consortium focused on early phase trials of novel therapies for high-risk neuroblastoma patients with tumors that either didn’t respond well to therapy or that came back,” said Villablanca. “All our trials are based on compelling data from preclinical studies in neuroblastoma. Our unique repository of tumor samples and blood from patients treated on our trials also provides a valuable resource to researchers working in the lab to develop new therapies.”
A network poised for action
Though the NANT consortium receives funding from the National Institutes of Health, it relies on V Foundation grants for several key functions. Most importantly, V Foundation support funds the clinical investigators and infrastructure needed to quickly turn lab findings into a clinical trial. This funding also supports the researchers, nurses and data managers involved in enrolling patients into early phase trials, which can cost as much as $30,000 for a single patient. It also enables the consortium to collaborate with a diverse group of clinical sites located throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia, giving more children the opportunity to participate in clinical trials.
“The V Foundation support helps NANT and its member sites to be constantly poised to rapidly translate new ideas from the bench to the bedside,” said Villablanca. “It means that when we find out something new in the lab, we can move ahead quickly without having to go through the process of securing all the funding for a particular drug study, finding clinical sites willing to participate, and then giving them time to get the staff and infrastructure necessary to conduct the clinical trial.”
V Foundation funding is also used to perform laboratory studies in parallel with every NANT clinical trial. These correlative studies help reveal the biological mechanisms behind new treatments being studied in early phase clinical trials, helping to inform the science to design future treatments and trials.
Improving clinical care
NANT’s clinical trials are already changing neuroblastoma therapy. For example, one trial showed that combining lorlatinib, an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor, with chemotherapy is not only safe but has shown responses in patients with neuroblastoma. Based on these results, an ongoing Children’s Oncology Group phase 3 study of an earlier ALK inhibitor was changed to so that patients would receive lorlatinib instead. Researchers in Europe are also planning a new trial based on this data.
“We provided the extensive safety and response data needed to amend the phase 3 study,” said Villablanca. “This was only possible because of the detailed monitoring and correlative studies we’re able to perform and because our collaborating sites had all the necessary resources.”
NANT also helped to broaden the use of meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), a cutting-edge therapy that delivers targeted radiation to cancer cells in patients with neuroblastoma. I-131-MIBG is infused into the blood and enters neuroblastoma cells to deliver radiation to kill the cells. This intravenous medicine provides a way to deliver radiation more selectively to neuroblastoma cells with fewer side effects than an external radiation beam and can access small amounts of neuroblastoma cells at multiple sites in the body.
“When NANT started, only two cancer centers in the country offered MIBG therapy, and they manufactured it themselves,” said Villablanca. “Because of the multiple studies that NANT performed with MIBG, this treatment is now available across the country and is one of the most commonly used and effective single agents for neuroblastoma therapy.”
NANT researchers are now performing clinical studies that combine MIBG with other effective treatments to see which combinations work best. A recent NANT trial demonstrated that vorinostat, an HDAC inhibitor, improved responses to MIBG alone. NANT is now testing MIBG combined with immunotherapy. They are also studying a variety of immunotherapies and looking at how to incorporate these with other therapies to treat neuroblastoma patients at highest risk to further improve patient outcomes.
[expandable topic=”A passion for helping children”]When she was just 10 years old, Villablanca knew she wanted a career that involved working with kids. She began by volunteering at a school for exceptional children, went on to become a pediatric physical therapist and then entered medical school, intending to become a pediatrician. But it wasn’t until her medical residency at UCLA that she found her true calling – helping children with cancer achieve cures and grow into thriving adults.
“It was such a challenging field with so much information coming in,” recalls Villablanca. “I felt like this was a field where I could really make an impact.”
Now, some three decades later, Villablanca says that the long-term relationships with patients and their families are the most meaningful part of her job. “I met one young man when he was just three years old, and he will be 29 this year,” said Villablanca. “Another of my neuroblastoma patients recently got into college, and I wrote her a reference letter.”
Although losing a patient is one of the most difficult things oncologists deal with, Villablanca takes comfort in the fact that many more children are surviving neuroblastoma today than when she started in 1989. “There’s no better reward than one of your patients sending you a Christmas card with their baby in the picture,” she said. “It makes all the hard work very much worthwhile.” [/expandable]

Before I tell you about it, I just want to say that Leanne www.purpleprincess.blogspot.com did not get her way, and silver was not added to my colors to match the grey in my hair, even though she tried! I did get reminded several times to look up and not at Leanne's knitting while I was at Cynthia's.
So I got my colors done last night. Hmm. Bit of a surprise. It still seems a little wierd, strange.
First of all, I knew there would be the neutrals. I have always had the khakis, and the various shades of tan brown and cream. And I knew that winter white was a good color choice. Oh and of course, there was a myriad of pinks, which are plentiful in my closet. (Okay – Okay, I know I wear BORING clothes to work, mostly blacks and whites, but there is color in my closet). And there were shades of coral.
The first surprise for me was red. I always thought I looked good in red, but my reds did not go as bright as I thought they would. Now if I wore dramatic eye makeup I can still wear them, but I was surprised. My reds were more of the strawberry nature, and not deep, and they sure did not go to cranberry or any wine type color. And not to aubergine which of course is in the stash to knit a dress.
The next surprise was that there were hardly any golds. Now I knew there were only 2 shades of yellow I could wear, which she picked out for me (nice to know I was choosing good colors), but I thought there would be golds. Greeny golds and browny golds. Nope – weren’t there. Wow. That still is hard to believe. There were metallics, great because the girl likes bling, but no regular golds for yarn or fabrics.
Go ahead and laugh. I have purple, as a matter of fact at least five of them. Who knew? The yarn gods were telling me to buy that color and of course the current projects are mostly purple. I have little or no blue. I knew this. I didn’t expect to see any, and the blues were more of a green blue.
I do have green, sage and apple and khaki green, but no deep green. Again, a surprise. Also, she gave me this weird green, and three to five shades of it. The only thing of that color I could find in the house last night was the top of a sippy cup. What does that tell you?
I walked in the closet, not too many things that are bad. Though I have a lot of black, so again I need to do dramatic makeup to wear it. The yarn room is different. It will be slow going. Looking at things, seeing what type of item is being made out of the color and whether or not I think it still should be made.
So today’s knitting is on the purple cape. It’s a safe choice. And I am in the mood to cable.
Weird weather outside, air was ugly and I couldn’t see the mountains from the train. I’m hoping it’s not an inversion. Enjoy the hump day. I’m getting breakfast. ANd I'm leaving early - been up since 2:20AM, and need to go back to bed.

“Other interests include composing music for musical theatre, composing musical theatre music, music theatre composition, and the overthrow of humanity.” This is not your standard West End programme biography, but then this is not your standard composer, and it’s certainly not your standard musical.
This ambition belongs to the punningly named Android Lloyd Webber – the creation of Nick Collins, who researches computerised composition at Durham University, UK. It is one of the key creative partners on Beyond The Fence, billed as the world’s first computer-composed musical.
Musical theatre is all about collaboration, and this time there’s a very long list of collaborators. The catch is that most of them are not flesh and blood but software developed at universities from across the globe, each an attempt at testing the possibilities of computer “creativity”.
Joining “algorithmic composer” Android are plot-generating PropperWryter, computational creative FlowComposer, lyric-generating Clarissa the Cloud Lyricist and the “ideating” What-If Machine.
The silicon Sondheims have been joined by the human composing team of Benjamin Till and Nathan Taylor, creators of the BAFTA-nominated Our Gay Wedding: The musical that saw them transform their nuptials into a West End-worthy show. They’ve sifted through the concepts thrown up by plot-generating algorithms, tamed Android LW’s more obscure melodies and cherry-picked the spurts of lyrical genius.
The resulting musical is a surprising, and surprisingly humane and earthy, escapade based on the Greenham Common women’s peace camp, a lengthy women-only protest at the siloing of nuclear missiles at the RAF Greenham Common airbase in the UK around the early 1980s – the height of the cold war.
Our heroine is Mary Moreton, a single mother who has fled an abusive relationship with her now-mute daughter George. George strikes up an unlikely friendship with US officer Jim Meadow across the chain-link fence, while the group of women face pressures from without and turmoil from within.
At its core, it’s classic, even cliched, stuff. There’s a hint of Romeo and Juliet (or should that be West Side Story?) to the burgeoning relationship between Mary and Jim, a touch of Miracle on 34th Street to the George subplot, and the idea of a band of women taking a stand against oppressors has been rehearsed in the West End as recently as last year’s short-lived musical staging of Made in Dagenham.
Maybe that shouldn’t be surprising, given that the computers which fired out the initial ideas had first been fed reams of data on the plot elements, time periods, settings and character types which go into the creation of a successful musical. For all the algorithmic cleverness behind the technology, a huge amount of its heavy lifting amounts to a kind of fine-grained market research.
It’s impossible to know how much of Android’s work made it into the score, though as for the lyrics, one guess during a post-show question and answer with the musical’s makers put it at 25 per cent computer-generated.
But within its work and the music and lyrics of Till and Taylor, there are some winning numbers, particularly the passionate duelling duet How Dare You? by Mary and Jim, and the rousing, folk-infused We Are Greenham as the women take to the silos to dance on a frosty New Year’s Eve.
The best of Beyond The Fence comes, you strongly suspect, from the minds of Till and Taylor. The work feels heavily inspired by Till’s upbringing in a commune of CND protesters, and the plethora of happy lesbian relationships (presented with a refreshing lack of sexualisation) is a genuine rarity on the London stage.
Conversely, it’s the formulaic plot – the hoary love story and a random eleventh-hour death – that feel like the clunky handiwork of computers.
It’s obviously a tremendous awareness-raising exercise for the institutions involved, sprinkling a bit of West End glitter on the field of machine learning. And with backing from the Wellcome Trust and the Sky Arts channel (which is producing the fascinating accompanying documentary series, Computer Says Show), it’s an ingenious way to raise funds for an activity as inherently high-risk as launching a new musical.
But as the curtain falls on Beyond The Fence, it’s clear that the UK’s musical theatre talents can sleep peacefully at night with little to fear from Android Lloyd Webber and his crowd of cybernetic pretenders. But watch this space.
Beyond The Fence is on at London , from now to 5 March 2016

HIV education and approach to sex training
Funding for sexuality training in schools is minimal. Socially conservative forces advocate for the training of вЂmoral educationвЂ™, which centers on topics such as for example chastity and faithfulness within heterosexual, marital relationships, in the place of sexuality that is comprehensive, which include scientifically accurate details about peoples development, physiology and reproductive wellness, also information on contraception, childbirth, STIs, sex relations, sex and sex identities.46
In addition, specific regulations control the appropriateness and distribution of data to individuals beneath the age of 18, which efficiently bans numerous sexuality that is comprehensive materials for all more youthful than 18.
Because of this, there aren’t any nationally implemented, comprehensive sex or lifeskills programmes in college for the kids and adolescents.47
In Russia, the church and also the state get togetherвЂ¦ They talk about how exactly intimate training will simply aggravate the problem that is[HIV. ItвЂ™s a waveвЂ” you feel it really.
– Ivanova, HIV-positive activist in Russia.48
Regardless of this, help for presenting sex training at school curricula is apparently widespread in certain chapters of culture. Survey of 10,000 ladies from across Russia unearthed that 90% stated they wish to see people that are young about reproductive health insurance and sex when you look at the classroom.49
There clearly was now a nationwide #STOPHIVAIDS week in Russia every might, directed at young adults, involving pupils, wellness employees, a-listers, performers, athletes and spiritual leaders, whom raise understanding about HIV and market HIV screening.50

Preventing mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) is certainly one of RussiaвЂ™s HIV success tales.بیشتر بخوانید

FAYETTEVILLE — Hubert Quinerly knew his Kinston girls basketball team couldn’t keep its red-hot shooting pace going forever.
But the Vikings didn’t let their shooting woes carry over to the defensive end, and that’s why they’re going back to the regional finals.
Lydia Rivers scored 20 points, all in the paint, and Brittany Drumgoole was an assist shy of a triple-double in Kinston’s 49-45 come-from-behind win over Bunn at the Crown Arena on Friday.
The Vikings (25-4) will face Siler City Jordan-Matthews, a 60-47 winner over Graham, at 6 p.m. today for the second straight year for a berth in next weekend’s state 2A championship in Chapel Hill.
“When you shoot 32 percent for the game that’s bad (and) you should be losing, but we got enough defensive stops to help us,” Quinerly said.
“With Brittany getting 13 rebounds, that was huge — and Lydia got us started. It was just a team effort defensively.”
Had it not been for the defense, the Vikings might have played their last game.
Bunn (23-7) didn’t necessarily torch the nets in the first half, but its 34.5 percent from the floor was good enough for a 26-21 halftime lead. The Wildcats, who led by as many as nine, hit four 3s in the first half while Kinston came up empty in nine attempts.
In the second half, the Vikings extended their defense, and used it to tie it at 29 on a 3 by Monique Lofton at the 5:29 mark of the third period — just their second 3 of the game — and kept it close until taking the lead for good on a pair of free throws by Drumgoole, who hit 8 of 10 from the line and had 14 points, just inside of 4 minutes to play.
“Most of the time when we play, we don’t miss that many shots — especially in the first half. I told (Alexis Williams) and (Monique), ‘Y’all shoot it. Don’t stop shooting.’ They were going to end up dropping in the second half and they came out dropping,” Drumgoole said.
“That’s our game. We can shoot it and we can get to the rack, too, and that’s what we kept doing.”
In the first half all 21 of Kinston’s points came in the paint, and it didn’t hit a shot outside of the lane until Williams drained a 3 the possession prior to Lofton’s that tied it at 29.
Rivers had 13 first-half points.
A 3 by Bunn’s Whitney Bunn put the Wildcats up 39-35 after 30 seconds had gone by in the fourth quarter, causing a fist pump from the senior who finished her career with over 1,700 points.
Several possessions later, Kinston tied it at 39 on a left-handed drive from Lofton, who finished with eight points, then the Wildcats answered when Precious Walker drove the lane for a 41-39 lead with 5:44 to play.
It was the last field goal Bunn hit until Whitney Bunn drained a 3 with 16 seconds left to make it 48-45.
“We had a tough time shooting the ball in the second half. We couldn’t seem to get the ball to go in the basket. You’ve got to give a lot of credit to Kinston for the defense they played. They made some great adjustments,” Wildcats coach Ben Daniels said.
“(Coach Quinerly’s) girls played their butts off. They earned the win. That’s a darn good team they’ve got over there and they should be proud.”
Bunn followed her 3 with a steal of the ensuing inbounds pass but came up short on her next attempt, which was contested.
Drumgoole was fouled with 5.6 seconds to play and hit the first of two free throws to seal the win.
“This was a tough win. You hate to see anybody you lose this game,” Quinerly said.
“I thought we did a great job. Our game plan was dead on. (The Wildcats) knocked down some shots and we thought they would. I thought we were going to hit more shots than what we did. But in the end a win is a win.”

This is a picture book, with very few words but lots going on in the pictures. For example, the first spread shows a red bus which has just left a bus stop. It's a lovely day, the sky is clear and blue. Then we notice that behind the bus there is a red car. Some small clouds appear in the sky. We notice a woman and her little boy running towards the next bus stop, and behind them, a yellow car. Whoops! the little boy drops his teddy bear but mum doesn't notice, she's concentrating on trying to catch the bus. Will she make it? And what about the teddy bear?
In the next spread, a lot of these loose ends are picked and woven in, and new ones are introduced: new story possibilities tumble over each other. A yellow van joins the queue behind the bus. The driver of the red car has seen what happened; she stops and picks up the bear. People are getting off the bus - will our heroine catch it? No - but hurrah! The driver of the red car stops, brandishes the bear, and gives mother and son a lift to the next stop. Now there's an orange car too, and an orange truck. There are more clouds in the sky, and just as they enter a town, it begins to rain...
It sounds so simple, but there's a great deal going on, with more to notice and pick up on every time you look at the book. The illustrations are beautifully crafted collages, made of lots of torn bits of paper in bright primary colours. This is a lovely book to read with a small person, who will delight in all the familiar scenes and objects revealed as the pages turn, and in creating new stories from the wealth of detail provided by the illustrations.

Brand New 2K Restoration!
The Ghost of Sierra de Cobre (1964) Starring Martin Landau, Judith Anderson, Diane Baker, Nellie Burt, Tom Simcox and Leonard Stone – Written and Produced by Joseph Stefano (Psycho) – Shot by William A. Fraker (Rosemary’s Baby) and Conrad L. Hall (In Cold Blood) – Music by Dominic Frontiere (Brannigan) – Directed by Robert Stevens (TV’s Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone) and Joseph Stefano.
BRAND NEW RESTORATION IN 2K! Legendary writer and producer Joseph Stefano (Psycho and TV’s The Outer Limits) and star Martin Landau (TV’s Mission: Impossible and Space: 1999) originally shot this controversial cult classic as a pilot for a potential TV series called The Haunted, a new show similar in concept to The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, but with much more focus on horror. The pilot was not picked up, so after adding some additional scenes, The Haunted became The Ghost of Sierra de Cobre. Robert Stevens (TV’s Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone) started directing the pilot, but became very ill and was replaced by producer Stefano. Terrified of being buried alive, a young woman installs a phone in her crypt. A few days after her untimely death, the phone suddenly rings and paranormal investigator Nelson Orion (Landau) is brought in to probe the case. Stunningly shot in black-and-white by renowned cinematographers William A. Fraker (Rosemary’s Baby) and Conrad L. Hall (In Cold Blood). The stellar cast includes Diane Baker (Mirage) and Judith Anderson (Rebecca).

Five stages of grief (Explained)
Losing a loved one can induce unimaginable pain and suffering.
Understandably, grief is complex and sometimes those who grieve wonder if the pain will ever end.
They go through a lot of emotions which include anger, confusion, and disappointment.
There are many different kinds of grief. Grief may be precipitated by difficult situations, relationships, or maybe substance abuse.
Children can also grieve a divorce, a wife may grieve the death of her husband, a teenager may grieve the ending of a relationship, or you can grieve the potential loss of a life after receiving a diagnosis of a terminal illness.
In 1969, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross described five common stages of grief, popularly called DABDA.
These five stages of grief are common feelings that we face after the loss of a loved one: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and subsequently acceptance.
What are the five stages of grief?
The first stage in this theory, denial can help us limit the overpowering pain of loss.
It may be tough to accept the truth that we have lost an important person in our lives, especially if we have just spoken to them the previous week or even day.
It can take our mind a while to adjust to this new truth.
Denial, or pretending the loss did not happen, is not always the best way to minimize our pain.
It is, however, one of the ways in which we try to absorb and comprehend what has happened.
If you lose a loved one, you will probably spend time reflecting on experiences you have shared with this person and are wondering how you will move forward without him or her.
These emotions can be extremely painful and overwhelming, and denial tries to slow this process down.
The stage of denial helps us take the processing of a major loss one step at a time.
It is extremely commonplace for humans to experience anger after the loss of a loved one.
We are trying to get used to a new reality and are probably experiencing intense emotional discomfort.
Anger is an emotional outlet for grief and is the second stage of the five.
Sometimes being angry is easier than being vulnerable. Anger allows us to feel and express emotion without worrying about being judged or rejected.
Remember, it is okay to be vulnerable and to show emotion instead of hiding behind a mask of anger.
Unfortunately, anger tends to be the first emotion people experience while they begin to express emotions associated with loss.
This can result in feelings of isolation in your experience.
If you are currently in the anger stage of grief, it is helpful to let people in and console you, connect with you, or comfort you.
It is not unusual when handling loss to do whatever it takes to lessen the pain and suffering.
When the bargaining stage begins to take place, you might start praying to god or whatever higher power you believe in (if any) in the hopes that you may be able to change the outcome that has occurred.
During this stage, there is an acute awareness of our humanness in these moments while we recognize that there is nothing we can do to change what happened to a better outcome.
This feeling of helplessness can cause us to react in protest with the help of bargaining, which gives us a perceived sense of manipulation over something that feels so out of our control.
While bargaining you might also tend to focus on your own faults or any regrets you may have.
You might look back and analyze all your interactions and memories with the person you lost and ruminate on the times when you felt disconnected or angry with that person.
You may remember something you said to that person that you didn’t mean and try to convince yourself that if things had played out differently, you would not be in such terrible emotional pain.
During the journey of processing grief, there comes a time when our imaginations subside, and we slowly begin to take a look at the truth of our current state of affairs.
Bargaining no longer feels like an option and we are faced with what is really happening.
We begin to feel the loss of our loved one to an even greater degree.
As our panic and shock start to subside and the emotional fog starts to lift, the loss feels like an even greater unavoidable burden and a period of depression may set in.
During these times, it might be easier to retreat into our own thoughts, become less sociable, and isolate than to reach out to others for help.
Dealing with despair after the loss of a loved one can be extraordinarily isolating.
When you come to a place of acceptance, it is not that you no longer feel the pain of loss.
However, you are no longer resisting the truth of the state of affairs and are not trying to make it something different.
Sadness and regret will probably still be there in this stage, but the emotional survival processes of denial, bargaining, and anger are less likely to be present.
These stages follow in a circle as shown in picture given below:
What are the symptoms of grief?
Your grief symptoms may manifest physically, socially, or spiritually.
Some of the most common signs of grief are listed below:
Ø Difficulty Sleeping
Ø Questioning the Purpose of Life
Ø Questioning Your Spiritual Beliefs (e.g: your belief in God)
Ø Feelings of Detachment
Ø Isolation from Friends and Family
Ø Abnormal Behavior
Ø Loss of Appetite
Ø Aches and Pains
Are there different types of grief?
Although the five stages of grief are important and a good rule of thumb, people grieve in many different ways and may not go through each of these stages or in this order.
The lines of these stages are very blurry blurred—we may also transition from one stage to another and go back to an earlier stage before moving on to the next one.
There is also no specified timeframe for the five stages of grief and when someone should complete them.
One person might go through the five stages in a matter of weeks, while another person may take months or even years.
Any amount of time that a person needs to grieve and go through these stages is perfectly normal.
Your pain is unique to you, your relationship to the individual you lost is special and specific to you, and thus the emotional processing can be different for every individual.
You do not need to act or feel a certain way; you are entitled to feel however you feel.
People often misinterpret others feelings and state in the future. This is called Affective Forecasting.
Emotions and feelings are very unpredictable and uncertain. Someone who’s in grief might not be in the same state a few years later.
Thus, making definite statements about their feelings will not change anything.
How can I support someone who is grieving?
It can be extremely difficult to know what to say to a person who has experienced a profound loss.
You should do your best to provide genuine comfort to the person, however, your efforts may still be inadequate and unhelpful.
One thing to bear in mind is that the person that is grieving does not need to be fixed. In our efforts to be helpful, we tend to try to rescue people from their pain so they will feel better.
We offer uplifting, hopeful feedback or maybe attempt to offer them humor to help ease their pain.
Although the intention is good, this approach can leave people feeling as if their pain is not seen, heard, or valid.
Don’t Force It
Another sometimes unsuccessful method of supporting a grieving person is forcing them to talk about their pain when they are not yet ready.
Even if your intentions are to help them process their emotions faster, this can be an obstacle in their healing process.
Make Yourself Available
One of the most useful things you can do is to offer space for people to grieve.
In doing this, we are letting the person know that we are available and there whenever they are ready to talk.
We can just offer a listening ear or shoulder to lean on when they are going through any of the stages of grief.
Are there specific treatments to help with grief?
Counseling and medication are the most common and effective treatments for grief.
Initially, your doctor might prescribe you medications that will help you function optimally during this difficult time.
These may include sedatives, antidepressants, or anti-anxiety medications to help you get through the day.
Also, your doctor might prescribe you medication that will help you sleep. Treating a grieving person with medication has been controversial in the medical field.
Some doctors feel that they are doing a disservice to your grieving process if they prescribe you medication because they think you will not experience the grief to the fullest extent.
Counseling is a better technique in the treatment of grief.
Support groups, bereavement groups, or psychological counseling can help you work through unresolved grief.
If you are having trouble functioning and need some support to get back on track, these are very beneficial options.
Counseling does not “cure” you of your loss; rather, it helps you gain coping strategies to help you effectively address your grief.
The Kubler-Ross Model is a tried and true guideline but there is no right or wrong way to work through the grieving process.
If you or a loved one is having a difficult time dealing with grief, seek treatment from a health professional or mental health provider.
Call a doctor right away if you are having thoughts of suicide, feelings of detachment for more than a few weeks, or if you notice a sudden exchange in behavior.
This blog article discussed the five stages of grief and options to reach out to for help, as well as effective strategies to support someone who is grieving.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the five stages of grief:
1. Are there 5 or 7 stages of grief?
Although we just discussed the five stages of grief, some people think there are seven.
These include shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, testing, and acceptance.
2. Who created the five stages of grief?
Elisabeth Kubler Ross first identified the five stages of grief in her book On Death and Dying in 1969.
3. Can you die from grief?
You might have heard that someone “died of a broken heart”.
While dying solely because of grief is exceptionally rare, your grief may exacerbate pre existing cardiac conditions.

A lyric video for “Grinding Dissent,” a new song by Boston thrashers Ramming Speed, can be seen below.
“Grinding Dissent” is a track from Ramming Speed’s Kurt Ballou-tracked Prosthetic debut, “Doomed To Destroy, Destined To Die,” due out June 25 on CD, LP, cassette and digital download. The band commented on the track:
"Grinding Dissent is largely about America’s facade of righteousness and freedom. A government that is ‘for the people’ may or may not have originally been the goal, but in this day and age, it’s obvious that protest and free speech aren’t welcome. Our police departments have military-grade weapons turned on civilians to keep us quiet while politicians smile and shake hands behind closed doors. Musically. the song starts off with punishing D-beat and ends with Ferrari-sized, Piña Colada-chugging twin guitar riffage! Put this shit on 11, crack a beer and scream at the sun.”
Profound Lore Records has checked in with the following announcement about new Cobalt tour dates:
"It’s been a really long time coming, but Coblat is finally going to be playing the first official live shows beginning at this year’s Maryland Deathfest where the band will be playing the opening Thursday, May 23rd evening and will go on right before the mighty Bolt Thrower (Evoken and Pallbearer also playing that day too).

In preparation for the disbursement of new LP "Idolize," today French act Sofy Major proudly offers another new single from the album. Stream “Steven The Slow” through Invisible Oranges here or in the player below. The following press release was also issued about the band:
"Just after Sofy Major flew into Brooklyn in October 2012 to record Idolize at Translator Audio with producer Andrew Schneider (Unsane, Keelhaul, Cave In), Hurricane Sandy waged war on the region, the massive storm surge the bitch of a storm brought with her wiped out the entire studio and all of the band’s gear.
"The trio hooked up with cohort and labelmate Dave Curran (Unsane, Pigs), who helped Schneider and the band relocate to Brooklyn’s Seaside Lounge and Spaceman Sound studios and complete the recording sessions Sandy attempted to thwart.
"Invisible Oranges and Brooklyn Vegan are now hosting an exclusive stream of the album’s third track. The pummeling metallic swank of 'Steven The Slow' showcases the dredging, angular, possibly drugged slow-paced ramble Sofy Major has so masterfully crafted, the track also featuring guest vocals from their bro Dave Curran. Additionally, a documentary on Sofy Major’s unique and insane two months dealing with Sandy, the recording and the ensuing tour, entitled Buckets, Curtains And More Noise, was directed and produced by Riot House Production, and is pending release in June.

"Following releases on Skuld Records, Profane Existence and others, Agrimonia hooked up with Southern Lord in mid-2012, after which they embarked on the recording sessions for their label debut Rites Of Separation. Mixed by Fredrik Nordstrom at Studio Fredman (At The Gates, Opeth, Arch Enemy), Rites Of Separation takes Agrimonia’s diverse and damaging alloy of metallic influences to more expansive realms than ever, its five sprawling tracks encompassing an hour, and the band’s crustpunk ethos delivered through grating, doom-filled riffs and post-metal voids, merging influence from a realm of influences possibly including Damad, Pelican, Crisis, Bolt Thrower and Nausea."

Progressive metal linchpin Sensory Records is proud to announce the signing of Lalu, the project under the direction of French composer Vivien Lalu. The following press release was issued about the band:
"Born of Noelle and Michel Lalu, musicians from the ‘70s French progressive act Polene, Vivien Lalu has released a surplus of recordings through an array of different bands and projects since 1997, as the keyboard player for underground black/doom band Time For A Change. At the turn of the millennium Lalu played keys for two underground progressive metal bands from Paris, Sad Warden and then Mind's Orchard, and in 2002 was hired by Hubi Meisel (ex-Dreamscape vocalist) to compose and record the keys for his solo album EmOcean, the following year doing the same for Meisel’s sophomore album Kailash, both of which were released by Lion Music.
"It was at this time Vivien Lalu begins recruiting his own associates from major prog and metal bands -- some of which he shares time composing music alongside in progressive metal act Shadrane -- and forms his own solo project, LALU. The first full-length Oniric Metal was released on Lion Music in 2005 and began an entirely new chapter for this composer and his insatiable need to create mind-expanding, cinematic music.
"These accomplishments helped Lalu to begin securing score and soundtrack work for film and television; over the last few years he’s written many cues for the orchestral soundtrack for the Warner Bros movie Seuls Two, for the show Science X made in association with Lucasfilm Ltd. Additionally he joined the production team behind Laszlo Jones in order to assist the recordings and production of Banana Nation (Universal Music Group). He’s composed many soundtracks for French television, music and sound effects for Neko Entertainment, worked as a sound designer for Ubisoft Entertainment and much more. More...

After The Burial's new EP, "This Life Is All We Have," is available now on iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon MP3 . This three-song release shows the band revamping very early tracks with new vocals from current vocalist Anthony Notarmaso.
This special digital EP was produced, engineered and mixed by renowned producer Terry Date alongside guitarists Justin Lowe and Trent Hafdahl. Lowe states:
"I'd like to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone who has checked out the streams or even picked up a copy of this new EP. We had always toyed around with the idea of revisiting some of these old jams, but it hadn't really made sense to us yet. However, after talking about it more and more, we realized these are songs we will always play live. Ultimately, we wanted to give you the best representation of what to expect on stage every night, so we decided to go in and recreate these songs for you again from the ground up. When it came to the production, it was an absolute pleasure and honor for us to have the opportunity to work together with Terry Date, which was something we were all very, very excited about.
"Right now we are currently right in the middle of the tracking process of our new album. We're almost finished with the guitars, with just a couple tracks to go. When we track the guitars for our albums we like to take our time getting the good takes, not relying on too much editing. There also usually tends to be changes being made along the way, with new ideas being born within the tracking process.
"If I had to describe the sound of the new material in one shot, it wouldn't be easy. We've dedicated a lot of time working on these songs to make sure that you are hearing something fresh and new. Something that makes you feel good when you hear it. There's some 6,7 and 8 string work in there and also a new lower tuning in C#. It's hard to describe the sound unless you hear it. It's almost 'mechanical' and very percussive. We love trying all sorts of new ideas, sounds, and pushing boundaries of new musical territory that will help set us apart from the rest. We've never been afraid to try anything; we want to keep you on your toes."
Rise With Honour has checked in with the following announcement about parting ways with the band's bassist:
"Hey guys, just a message to inform everyone that I (Callum) am no longer part of Rise with Honour.
"There are no hard feelings between any of us and leaving the band was entirely my own choice, I’m just not particularly enjoying the music anymore and feel that it’s time to move on.
"I would personally like to thank everyone who has shown support for the band over the last two years and I hope that this support will only grow as time goes on.

Imminent Sonic Destruction is hitting the road with Pain of Salvation, and the band has now checked in with the following road report:
"Well well well... Here we are, in Virginia. We had a couple days before we had to play, so it's all about relaxing and driving, while we had the chance. Both of which are very nice. Beautiful scenery, and being able to stop for a band cookout was great. I have to say, the people we've run into at these truck stops so far have been very nice. Southern hospitality is alive and well, I'm happy to report. Dental hygiene, however, is apparently on life support. But I digress.
"When we stopped to fix our flat tire, a truck stop employee (Timothy, who sounded EXACTLY like Gomer Pyle) treated us very well, and creeped us out at the same time. Once we got up, had an authentic down home breakfast at Waffle House (had to do it once... Seriously. ONCE), and got back on the road, we were feeling much better. The sun was back out, and the drive was beautiful. We headed for a rest stop to set up and enjoy the aforementioned cookout, and it was then that I realized we are having a pretty damn awesome time. This isn't bad. The sleeping arrangements and showers are sketchy, but still... TOUR. More...

I’ve always been a fan of “Antiques Roadshow” on PBS. From time to time, a firearm will pop up on the program, but they are few and far between. That’s why I jumped at the opportunity to take High Caliber History LLC on the road to Top Gun Shooting Sports in Taylor, MI, for an event I call “Gun-Tiques Roadshow.”
Among the guns to show up was this gigantic punt gun – at least that’s what I’m calling it – that weighed at least 50 pounds and took up almost the full length of an 8-foot table. Unfortunately, the owner knew nothing about the piece. He bought it 5 years ago just because he thought it was cool – and who could blame him!?!
To be fair, it isn’t exactly a true punt gun because it has a rifled barrel. I don’t know the actual caliber, but I can say with confidence that it is bigger than a 4 bore. Two holes in the receiver lead me to believe that it was probably designed to be bolted onto a swivel of some kind.
The action was also unusual: the breech block – which looks like someone just took a hunk of metal, added a hinge, and said, “Good enough!” – opens like a sideways trapdoor on steroids. The firing mechanism utilizes a back action shotgun lock with an external hammer that falls onto the external portion of the firing pin.
The entire gun is solidly constructed by someone who knew what they were doing when they made it, and yet, it also exudes overall qualities that would make “Bubba the Gunsmith” proud.
The only markings anywhere on the gun were two tiny ones stamped on the breech block that had gone unnoticed since it had been purchased. The first was a breech proof known as a Perron, and the second indicated what proofing inspector performed the action.
Based on this information, I was able to determine that the gun was made in Belgium sometime between 1952-68 or 1974-80 due to a break in employment by the inspector. As for who made it and why … well, that’s anyone’s guess. Most likely, the answer is, “just because.”
If you have any ideas as to the “who” or the “why,” please chime in. I’d love to know!

When architects began to design homes and spaces with large windows, curtains became an important element of interior design and architecture.
However, lately there has been a shift away (at least here in N. America) from curtains and a push toward blinds. I miss the romance and ritual of drawing the curtains closed. I miss the sensuality of the sun peaking through mid day; curtains swaying in wind, encouraging the merging two worlds.
Another time and place, saw me draw the sheers open and closed, depending on the sun, and often of the positioning of the moon, as this became standard, so did the stories of disillusion, fear, promise, and hope. There were always lessons to be learned at the edge of the window sill and in the rustling of the curtains. —tM

Fifteen minutes (jay)walking later, Paul and I were at Bennets Bar, our second Edinburgh classic of the day.
I’ll be honest. I know the capital has dozens of ornate bars; they’re beautifully detailed in the CAMRA Scottish Heritage Pub Guide I got Paul for a bargain £3 at the AGM.
In general I care little for heritage; give me a scruffy “all human life is here pub” over a pub that tourists come and gawp at.
But, wow !
More cathedral than pub. It gleams, doesn’t it ?
Like the Abbotsford, more shiny fonts and beers you’ve actually heard of.
Not many notes taken here, it was that good. A couple of other drinkers, one a young lady whose surreptitious photography could have taken some lessons from an expert like BRAPA or myself.
I think we’ll conclude we had the Dark Island.
Another NBSS 3.5; cool rich and complex.
Any sensible person would have stayed for more than one. Or tried the Stewart 80/, my new bellwether Scottish pint.
Actually, looking at these photos, there’s Paul up at the bar again.
And this isn’t the Dark Island, is it ?
It is of course possible that Paul was simply checking for the Hallowed Autovac, saviour of beer quality in the Lothians and beyond.
Anyway, Paul will know. He writes all this stuff down.
I just marvel at his company, four pints in.
Surely a quick look in the Bernard’s mirror and time for flat whites ?

What We Like:
- Soft Shock Absorption: You can take long, impactful strides on the Trail Racer 6.3’s deck thanks to soft shock absorption features beneath.
- Handlebar Controls: Control the speed and incline of the treadmill without having to pause your workout. Handlebar control features make it easy to adjust settings.
- Variety of challenge: The 6.3 comes with 5 standard programs plus a manual one. Two custom programs are also available.
- Comfort: This treadmill comes with a cooling fan, water bottle holders, deck cushioning and an MP3 compatible audio jack.
- Power Incline: The motorized incline can be tilted up to 12%. This allows its incline settings to be appropriate for both the beginner and experienced runner.
- Spacious with Storage: The running surface is a nice 20″ x 58″, but at 233 pounds the 6.3 can still be folded up easily to make extra space in a room. The Lift Assist technology provides this capability to any adult of varying strength.
- Economical: Coming in at just around $200 more than the 3.0, the 6.3 comes with more features and challenges that make the slight price increase well worth it.
- Warranty: The Trail Racer 6.3 comes with a lifetime warranty for frame and motor, as well as a 3-year warranty for the deck.
XTERRA Trail Racer 6.3 Treadmill - Key Specs:
|Incline:||0 to 12%|
|Running Area:||20" x 60"|
|Top Speed:||12 MPH|
|Weight Capacity:||325 LBS|
|Dimensions:||78.7" L x 35" W x 54.1" H|
- Programs: While the 3.0 comes with 6 plus manual and the 6.6 and 6.8 come with 7 plus manual, the 6.3 only comes with 5 plus manual. If you are looking for diversity in programs, this is the model with the least variety.
- Parts & Labor Warranty: Like its predecessor, the Trail Racer 6.3 still only carries a 1-year parts and in-home labor warranty. However, the deck warranty is increased to 3 years and a lifetime warranty remains for motor and frame.
- Weight Capacity: Many of today’s treadmills hold up to 400 lbs easily. The 6.3 can only support up to 325 lbs of weight at one time.
- Lack of Heart Rate Control: Unlike the Trail Racer 6.6. or 6.8, the Trail Racer 6.3 does not include any heart rate controlled programs
More Review Features of the XTERRA Trail Racer 6.3 Treadmill on video!
The Trail Racer 6.3 has marked improvements over the 3.0, including a longer running surface and more advanced speed and incline settings. With a more generous warranty as well, most runners will be satisfied with the 6.3 as an addition to their home gym. For those who hope for the most sophisticated and challenging of workouts, another XTERRA treadmill like the Trail Racer 6.6 may be a better choice. However, for the strong majority of casual runners and daily athletes, the 6.3 is fully capable at handling tough workouts while remaining durable and functional through repeat use.
This treadmill is currently on sale


Ford is already planning a smaller version of its Mustang Mach-E all-electric crossover, but while the first EV uses a homegrown platform, the American automaker will be looking to German assistance for its baby sibling. Unveiled in November, the 2020 Mustang Mach-E saw the iconic pony car name expand to include an SUV for the first time, but that’s only the start of it.
Ford has been upfront about its intentions to reinvent its lineup with more electrification and a general shift toward utility and truck vehicles. Having already confirmed that it will strip most sedans and hatchbacks from its range, in favor of crossovers and SUVs, it’s also looking to make them more green.
With a profile inspired by a Mustang coupe, but with seating for five – plus space their luggage – in an airy and spacious cabin, the Mustang Mach-E proved controversial from the get-go. Ardent Ford fans struggled to accept “diluting” the nameplate with a new model, while EV enthusiasts welcomed another option with competitive range. Ford’s reservations system opened up in late November, though deliveries of the car aren’t expected to begin until late 2020.
Those who like the idea but don’t quite need the size, however, may soon have another option to consider. Ford is looking to make the Mustang Mach-E into a family of EVs, AutoExpress reports, though moving forward it will rely on platform sharing with Volkswagen to streamline production.
The current car uses a platform of Ford’s own devising, with a larger electric rear motor as standard, and the option of a smaller electric front motor to enable all-wheel drive. However the smaller version of the Mustang Mach-E that Ford execs apparently have in mind would use Volkswagen’s MEB platform. That’s the electric car architecture that underpins the new VW ID.3 hatchback, and will go on to form the basis of vehicles from Audi, VW, and others in the group.
Key to MEB is its flexibility. Volkswagen designed the platform to support a huge variety of vehicles, whether they’re short cars intended for urban environments, big SUVs with three rows of seats, or more unusual models like electric dune buggies or camper-vans. It can be configured with either front, rear, or all-wheel drive, and with a variety of battery packs slung low in the floorpan underneath the cabin, to control range, weight, and price.
Even so, according to sources within Ford and VW’s technical negotiations, MEB has still forced some design considerations for the baby Mach-E. Called out is the area around the leading edge of the windshield: VW pushed that closer to the front of the car, maximizing internal space atop the dashboard. In the ID.3, for example, that area is used for the car’s augmented reality head-up display.
Problem is, Ford’s design goal with the Mustang Mach-E – and, presumably, for any addition to that family moving forward – was the so-called dash-to-axle ratio. That’s the distance between the front axle and the dashboard: when it’s longer, it gives a vehicle a stretched hood and a more dynamic stance. Ford designers have cited that as one of the key ways they differentiated the EV from rivals, even having torn up the original plans for the car’s profile and reworked it so as to give it more of that sporting Mustang silhouette.
The good news is that negotiations between the two companies apparently came up with a way to address Ford’s styling needs and the nature of VW’s platform. Exactly when the MEB-based Ford will arrive is unclear, though while it will look different to the 2020 Mustang Mach-E it will apparently also be a crossover, most likely.

Acetate Salt Market to Receive overwhelming hike in Revenues, 2016 – 2024
The global market for acetate salts is primarily driven by growing demand of food, chemicals and construction industry. It is used to neutralize sulfuric acid in the textile industry. Moreover it is used as a barrier to water in the concrete structures across the globe.
Other factors including rapid depletion of fresh water reserves in countries in Asia Pacific and the Middle East fueling demand for acetate salt for water treatment, to recover magnesium salt from brine and aluminum salt from aluminum hydroxide by various industries to reduce investment made for raw water treatment equipment installation.. Moreover with the increase in population and growing urbanization, rapid adoption of frozen and canned food demand increasing across the globe..

However, the market faces certain drawbacks such as presence of benzoic acid and sodium benzoate that are commonly used as food preservatives, which are easily available in the market and rapidly maturing market in developed economies of North America and Europe, inadvertently leading to plunge in profitability.
Opportunities and Major Players
Sodium acetate is used to neutralize the sulfuric acid from waste pipes in the textile industry. Burgeoning growth of the textile industry, especially in Asia Pacific is expected to boost growth of the market over the forecast period.
The market of acetate salt is highly fragmented, with the presence of only few global players. Majority of the players in this market are local players, with better access to distribution in their local market.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Olivia Watkins, assistant coach at Boston College, is the 2021 recipient of the NFCA’s Natasha Watley Scholarship for Social Change, presented in partnership with Sue Enquist.
The scholarship is presented to is awarded to a Black coach who has created educational or athletic opportunities for their community, has removed and overcome obstacles through social change, or has opened doors for growing the game of fastpitch for Black girls or women. The scholarship is presented to an individual who embodies courage and commitment to break down barriers, create change within our sport, and has a need for financial assistance to attend the NFCA National Convention. Watkins will receive a 2021 NFCA Convention registration, travel reimbursement up to $700 and up to four nights paid at the Convention host hotel in Las Vegas.
Watkins joined the Eagles’ coaching staff as the top assistant in July 2019. Prior to arrival in Chestnut Hill, Mass., she spent two-year stints as an assistant at Dartmouth College, and volunteer assistant at Illinois, under her collegiate coach Tyra Perry, who mentored her as a student-athlete at Western Kentucky University.
In addition to her many coaching duties, Watkins is passionate about social change and is making an impact at Boston College, in the softball community and in her hometown of Florence, Ala. She is always seeking ways for the BC softball program to be educated about social change as well as setting up initiatives for the team to give back. Her most recent endeavor has the Eagles collaborating with the Boston Police Department to work with a local softball league for girls in lower socio-economic communities, which will provide an opportunity for the student-athletes to teach and mentor young girls in all areas of life.
“Her strong communication skills, dependability and ability to get the job done has taken her far and has made her a major player in the softball arena,” said Perry. “I know these same attributes will continue to guide her as she mentors athletes and coaches of color through her involvement with the DEI Committee at BC. Her heart for the sport of softball and her passion for creating opportunities for women that look to play this sport is unmatched. I truly believe she is a true representation of this award.”
Watkins is a member of the newly-formed Boston College Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee, which provides inclusive programming and equitable resources that meet the university's diverse student-athlete population and to engage in civic responsibility in service and outreach to the Boston area marginalized communities and beyond. She leads educational discussions with the Eagle softball team and served as a panelist on the NFCA’s inaugural Educate to Elevate webinar, both touching on social injustice, racial inequality and the BLM movement.
“Liv is a big supporter of the NFCA and is a valuable member of influence in our community,” said Boston College head coach Amy Kvilhaug. “She sees the opportunity to attend the NFCA Convention as an avenue to help continue the momentum and education of the movement towards racial equality and social justice.”
Watkins gives back to her hometown by holding a free softball clinic for young girls each summer. Growing up in a low socio-economic community, Watkins felt softball played an important role in her young life and paved the way for the path she is on. Watkins’ goal was to help grow the game and give the young girls an opportunity to be exposed to what is out there. She provided equipment and made sure to reserve fields close to their homes, so attendees could easily walk to the clinic. During her time at Illinois, Watkins volunteered at a local lost boys and girls organization on the south side of Chicago.
“Olivia has been creating opportunities for underprivileged communities since she emerged into the coaching profession,” said Illinois assistant coach Laura Trout. “Our sport has become a place where most opportunities come at a cost, and usually a steep cost. Barriers are broken down when women like Olivia immediately think to give back. As a young coach, the income from camps and clinics can be our life blood for survival, and yet, she still gives back.”
Reviewed and voted on by the NFCA Awards Committee and Natasha Watley the recipient must be a coach who seeks and desires educational opportunity by attending the NFCA Convention and requires financial assistance to cover the NFCA Convention costs.
