The case of a Rotorua man facing multiple child sex charges has been transferred to Masterton.
Name suppression was lifted on Robert Keith Jefferies when he appeared in Rotorua District Court before Judge Jocelyn Munro.
Jefferies, 47, has denied 17 sex charges relating to six children under the age of 12.
He has also denied one charge of assaulting a child, the Rotorua Daily Post reported.
The offences are alleged to have taken place between March 1986 and June 1999.
Police applied at this week's hearing for the case to be transferred to Masterton, where it was believed the alleged offences took place and the alleged victims still live.
Jefferies, who is on bail, is due to appear in Masterton District Court on March 24 for a pre-depositions hearing.

The fridge won't do for this Alabama football report card. The Crimson Tide will want to frame this one.
Nebraska's continued insistence on shooting off its own feet eventually won out over Smothers' attempts to write history vs. Iowa on Friday.
After each crushing loss, media wonder if this Nebraska team will fold up its tent. One game remains, and we doubt we'll see any quit now.
Pre-snap motion, max protections and good players put the Badgers' defense in binds against the Cornhuskers on Saturday.
Nebraska has moved the ball well against Wisconsin in the past, but as Scott Frost puts it, "It's not like you can recreate a blueprint."
Those uncharted waters into which the coaches will be diving headfirst will require formulating a game plan for Seattle that will allow for myriad possibilities.

Truc Vert is one of those hybrid restaurants.
You want it to be a deli, with fine cheeses, artisan chocolate and obscure wild boar salami? Then it's a deli.
You want it to be a restaurant, with proper starters, mains and puds? Then it's a restaurant.
The Truc is open all day during the week, and it makes a very decent fist of being all things to all customers.
The menu comes in two halves.
'From the shop' means quiche, salads, chicken from the rotisserie, pâtés, cakes, pastries and cookies.
There is also a novel approach to the magnificent cheese counter: you nominate a few different cheeses, they make up an elegant plateful and then weigh it, and you are charged by weight.
The same deal works for charcuterie.
But despite competition from these instant assortments, the main dishes are well done and the seasoning spot on.
The menu is rewritten daily, but by way of starter you could be offered a sweet potato and ginger soup; saffron crab cakes; or baked goats' cheese with artichoke and grilled mixed peppers.
Mains run the gamut from grilled halibut fillet; through penne pasta with roast broccoli, cherry tomatoes and spicy ricotta sauce; to grilled lamb cutlets with roast butternut squash and French bean salad.
Puds are accomplished - try baked plums with coconut and rum sorbet - but they pale beside the prospect of the epic array of fine cheeses.
At lunch the quiches, rotisserie chickens and the selection of pâté with cornichons make the 'From the shop' option most appealing.
And thankfully there's a very un-Mayfair wine policy - you pay the shop price and they add nominal corkage.

The U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, the Thunderbirds, hosted an aspiring pilot as a part of their “Thunderbird for a Day” initiative.
Zoey Stachowiak, a seven-year-old Wisconsin native, who was recently diagnosed with an Arnold-Chiara I malformation, visited the Thunderbirds’ squadron to experience life as a Thunderbird.
“This program is a great way to reach out and support our younger fans who are aspiring aviators or experiencing medical hardships. The whole team really enjoyed having Zoey and her family part of the team for the day,” said Capt. Remoshay Nelson, Thunderbirds public affairs officer. “I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s piloting a Thunderbird jet someday.”
As a part of her day, Zoey and her family learned Thunderbird history, met the team, and watched the Thunderbirds prepare for a practice.
When asked what the highlight of her day was, Zoey responded with “my favorite part was when we got to go on to the flight line and watch them all take off!”
After a short pause, she added “Oh, and meeting Mace!”
“Mace” is the callsign for Thunderbird 5, Maj. Michelle Curran, who is the only female pilot on the Thunderbirds. Last month, Curran hosted an Instagram giveaway of ‘Fly like a girl’ embroidered patches and Zoey submitted a video sharing her aspirations to inspire other girls after her surgery and to become a Thunderbird one day.
Zoey’s excitement for the team started back in 2018 during the Northern Neighbors Day Airshow in North Dakota, where her father was stationed at the time.
“She first noticed the Thunderbirds when we were stationed in Minot,” said Kaitlyn Stachowiak, Zoey’s mother. “They were practicing on base for a few days and her eyes were glued to the sky. There’s not a day that she doesn’t hear planes and then looks to see if it’s the Thunderbirds.”
Zoey is a military dependent and her family is currently stationed at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.
“We just want to say thank you to the Thunderbirds and the team for taking the time to make Zoey feel so special,” added her mother, Kaitlyn.

Best Project of Private Residence
About the project
The name of this residence means BORDER in Russian, as the house represents a place where the hustle and bustle of the city can be abandoned in favor of tranquil staying in the natural environment. The designer believes a border isn’t something material, but a state of mind, transparent and permeable. That’s why he used spatial planes, crossing one another, to shape spaces and zones. The house comprises the entrance, the public and the private zones. The planes cover and protect the masters from everything associated with the city and open towards the end of the site. Abundant glazing ensures connection with nature.

|I have created this information page for all men experiencing hair loss
who may be
considering hair transplantation as a remedy. I have had extensive experience with hair
transplants and I have developed this website to share what I have learned.
account of my experience is absolutely accurate and I have not been paid by any company or
individual to bias this report.
I began to lose my hair at the age of 21. My receding hairline was
the first sign of the male pattern baldness I had inherited. My hair began to thin on top
of my head as my hairline continued to recede. I was frustrated at the thought of losing
my hair, looking older than I was, being less attractive to women, and annoyed by thinning
I visited a dermatologist and received a prescription for minoxidil (now known as
rogaine). Two years of using rogaine yielded no noticeable growth of new hair and my
existing hair continued to fall out. Now at 23 years old, I decided to give hair
transplants a try. After all, the before and after pictures in the transplant
advertisements showed incredible results were common.
I consulted with a doctor in Santa Monica, CA and he was excited about what
he could do for me. He wanted to start with 200, 4 millimeter hair plug graft. I was nervous
about the size of these grafts (roughly the size of a pencil's eraser) and so he agreed to
split them in half. Essentially each split graft contained 7-8 hairs. I didn't see any
growth for about 8 months. The growth from the grafts began to appear but was so
insignificant that I was still not satisfied (people still joked about my lack of
hair, etc...). I decided to find a doctor who could deliver the type of
results in the advertisements. I approached a second hair
transplant surgeon in Torrance, CA. This doctor had published extensive literature about
hair transplants and is often published in the Hair Transplant
forum, an industry newsletter on the topic of baldness and hair transplant
The doctor completed 4 transplant sessions, about 200 grafts per session, over the
course of one year. The grafts began to grow about 6 months after my last transplant
session. The transplants did not give me anywhere near the density that I had expected (I
would still get a severe sunburn on my head without a hat on). The
doctor seemed satisfied with the outcome... but I was not.
The 3rd and Final doctor... and the unfortunate
reality of hair transplants
Now at 25 years old I was still battling hair loss and had spent $6,000 on hair
transplants that had not lived up to the sales pitch. A Los Angeles
based hair transplant clinic began advertising the "mega-session" for hair
transplant clients. Also know as "follicular units". The idea of doing 800 or more grafts at one time, and using finer
grafts to reduce detectability sounded great. The before and after photos in their ads
were very impressive... almost to good to be true ...as I eventually found out.
I paid $4,800 for 800 mini-grafts (roughly 3-4 hairs per mini-graft). I had the
procedure done in the Beverly Hills office of this doctor's clinic in November of 1994
and three months after the procedure all of my previous transplants began to fall out! How
could this be? I was told to be patient... they will grow back. One year after
this hair transplant clinics procedure the old grafts (that had previously grown in) were not growing
back and the new grafts that the doctor had transplanted were not producing acceptable grow
(by his own admission). The hairs that did grow from the procedure were cosmetically
The doctor agreed that the results were not acceptable but he did offer me a new transplant session free of charge. The second
transplant session of approximately 750 grafts knocked out the few hair transplants that
were growing, ...due to shock I was told. The second session of transplants again produced
very little growth at all.
I contacted the doctor and requested an explanation... he didn't have one. I then
requested my $4,800 be refunded. He said that was not possible but suggested maybe they
would give me another transplant session on them. But inspection of the donor area at the
back of my head left too little hair for any additional hair grafts. Today I have
extensive scarring on the back of my head which is difficult to cover up because the
remaining hair has been severely thinned by grafting. Keep in mind I am now 32 years old
and was considered a perfect candidate for this procedure based on the
"thickness" and "density" of my donor area which is now bare.
I would suggest to anyone considering hair transplantation to give this serious
thought. Very rarely does an individual experience the type of results shown in the before
and after promotions. I feel that my experience with hair transplants, unfortunately, is
more common than any hair transplant surgeon would like to admit.
Hair loss makes men insecure which in turn makes them vulnerable. In my opinion, these
hair transplant factories are opportunists and they are experts at selling the illusion of
a youthful appearance through a full head of hair.
The law in California states that doctors can not guarantee outcomes or results.
On the day of the hair transplant, prior to the procedure, patients are given a form to
read and sign that states that the procedure is not guaranteed and that you
understand this. I find it a little suspicious that this document is handed to the
patient on the day of the surgery. At this point, the patient has taken time off of
work, they have paid for the procedure, they are nervous and anxious, and they have been
given a couple of valium. I, myself, was in no condition to read or understand this
document on the day of surgery. Had it been presented to me a week before the
operation perhaps I would have had a chance to review it properly.

WESTPORT — Selectmen got the rare chance to wear their Water Commissioner caps at their June 12 meeting, figuring out how to deal with a state notice of a problem with "town water" purchased from the City of Fall River.
Linda Correia, the designated Water Certified Operator for the town, reported to selectmen on the recent Notice of Non-Compliance from the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regarding tri-halomethane (TTHM) levels exceeding allowed limits found in quarterly testing.
The average TTHM level for the past year showed .0829 milligrams per liter (mg/l) in the water, while the DEP's allowed threshold is .080 mg/l. The state notice clearly stated there was "no immediate risk" to consumers from the elevated levels of TTHMs.
The town is required to notify all its municipal water customers that the results failed to meet prescribed state standards for the chemical compound, and there are no known health hazards from short-term exposure, Town Administrator Jack Healey said, stressing, "This is not an emergency."
Though prolonged exposure can cause some health risks, "you would have to drink a half gallon of water daily for 70 years to experience these (medical) problems," Mr. Healey suggested.
The quarterly testing is done at three sites along the sole municipal water line in town, which runs along State Road from the Fall River line to the area of the public housing site at 666 State Road, Ms. Correia reported.
The temporary spike in TTHM levels was found at the end of the line, in the area of a commercial plaza, post office, and restaurant on Route 6 during the latest round of testing. The best way to resolve the problem is to flush the lines, she indicated.
The chemical is a common by-product of the disinfectant process for municipal water, and sometimes shows up at elevated levels in routine testing. Flushing lines usually resolves the problem.
The next quarterly water test is scheduled for August, but Selectman R. Michael Sullivan suggested the town go to monthly tests for a while to make sure the problem is quickly resolved. Each testing costs the town about $450.
The motion failed on a 3-2 vote, following the recommendation of the town administrator, who argued it was an unnecessary expense.
The board did vote to send a letter to Fall River water officials, urging their special attention to the problem.
In other business at the June 12 meeting, the board continued for a second time the public hearing on the Westport Club's application to "alter the premises" described in the liquor license for the lounge at 904 Main Road by allowing patrons to drink on an outdoor deck. A vote was put off until the June 25 meeting so a report from the building inspector could be obtained.
The only close neighbor, abuttor Robert Albanese, strenuously objected to the application, saying that drinking outdoors, would only aggravate the noise issues at the club, even with a proposed six-foot stockade fence as a screen.
"I've been there for 40 years, and there was never a problem until that deck went on" about five years ago, Mr. Albanese said. So far, outdoor drinking has not been allowed on the deck.
"We're in a commercial zone, and the deck has been in use for a number of years," noted Westport Club manager Dennis Woodcock. The management has made every effort to keep noise down, and "we've had very few complaints," he added.
The planned stockade fence is a neighborly gesture, Woodcock said. "We're trying to be good neighbors, and we're trying to do it right. We plan to keep things under control," he promised.
Albanese said he is aggravated by noise from patrons day and night, with the problem at its worst at closing time. He indicated he would be calling police more frequently to deal with the problem.
Selectman R. Michael Sullivan proposed a 90-day probationary period for outdoor drinking on the deck, but couldn't get a second to his motion; the board then voted to continue the hearing to June 25.

Blaine Fleming scored a hat trick in the last meeting with the Irish.
April 11, 2016
MILWAUKEE - No. 19/17 Marquette will take a respite from BIG EAST Conference action with a midweek trip to No. 2/1 Notre Dame on Wednesday, April 13 at Arlotta Stadium. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN3 and through WatchESPN at 3 p.m. Central time from Notre Dame, Indiana.
The Golden Eagles (8-1, 3-0 BIG EAST) tied their best nine-game start ever with an 11-7 win at St. John's on Saturday in which Andy DeMichiei set a program record with seven goals. The junior midfielder scored a natural hat trick to start the third quarter as MU pulled away from a 6-4 halftime deficit.
The win over the Red Storm also marked the first time MU has ever been 3-0 to start BIG EAST Conference action and pushes its all-time league record to 10-4 in just over three seasons of competition. DeMichiei was named to the league's weekly honor roll on Monday, along with Ryan McNamara, who added onto his team-leading goal total (28) with two tallies and a pair of assists in New York.
The Fighting Irish (8-1, 3-0 ACC) are coming off an 8-6 win over then-No. 12/13 Duke on Sunday afternoon in which they limited the Blue Devils to a pair of second half goals and came back from a pair of two-goal deficits. Junior midfielder Sergio Perkovic notched a hat trick for Notre Dame, while the Irish forced the Blue Devils into six failed clears and 23 turnovers on the afternoon.
Attackman Matt Kavanagh leads ND with 27 points on 10 goals and 17 assists and sophomore Mikey Wynne has a team-best 25 goals. Perkovic, who attended Brother Rice (Mich.) High School with MU senior midfielder Henry Nelson, checks in with 17 goals.
Notre Dame is one of the three squads MU has never beaten in program history. The Irish have captured all three meetings against the Golden Eagles, including a 14-7 victory last season in Indiana when they were ranked No. 1. Marquette jumped out to a 2-0 lead on ND in 2015, with goals from Liam Byrnes and Blaine Fleming, before ND responded with seven-straight goals to grab control of the contest.
MU was tied with the Notre Dame during the third quarter of the 2014 meeting in Wisconsin, but could not hang with the 10th-ranked Irish as they pulled away on a 5-1 scoring run to close out a 12-7 victory.
Following Wednesday's game, the Golden Eagles will return to Milwaukee to host Providence on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT at Valley Fields. The Senior Day game will be broadcast live on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel Wisconsin and MU will honor is 19-player senior class and head manager Tommy Wright during a pregame ceremony. Patrick Reed (play-by-play) and former MU faceoff specialist Cullen Cassidy will handle the call.
DEMICHIEI STEPS UP AT ST. JOHN'S
- Junior midfielder Andy DeMichiei entered Saturday's game at St. John's with 12 goals in 39 career games, but exited with 19 career tallies after scoring a Marquette program-record seven against the Red Storm. The Pittsburgh native recorded a natural hat trick to begin the third quarter and give MU the lead after the Golden Eagles faced a 6-4 halftime deficit. DeMichiei, who scored his first career goal to topple St. John's in double overtime as a freshman in 2014, earned his first conference accolade when he was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll on Monday, April 11.
BLAZER STANDS TALL IN FIRST CAREER START
- Sophomore goalie Cole Blazer made quite the impression in his season debut and first career start as the Golden Eagles shut down a high-scoring Villanova offense that entered the game second in the nation in scoring. The Libertyville, Illinois native made 13 sometimes spectacular saves against the Wildcats and held the VU offense to a season-low three goals, while recording a .813 save percentage. Blazer and the MU defense also limited VU's Jake Froccaro, who entered the game as the nation's leading scorer, to a lone assist. For his sterling performance, he was named the BIG EAST Conference's Defensive Player of the Week on April 4, the USILA's National Defensive Player of the Week on April 5 and earned the same honor from the NCAA on April 6.
- Blazer is the closest thing to a local player on the Marquette roster, hailing from Libertyville, Illinois, which sits 55 miles to the south of Milwaukee down I-94 just across the Wisconsin-Illinois border. No player for the Golden Eagles in program history has ever grown up closer to the Milwaukee campus.
GRILL IS A 2016 SENIOR CLASS AWARD FINALIST
- Graduate student B.J. Grill became the first MU men's lacrosse player to be named a Senior CLASS Award finalist when it was announced that he was one of 10 student-athletes on the ballot for the prestigious award on March 30. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition. Grill is a two-time All-BIG EAST First Team selection on defense and a 2016 Inside Lacrosse Preseason Faceoff Yearbook Third Team All-American. The two-time team captain and Major League Lacrosse draft pick graduated in May of 2015 with a bachelor's degree in political science and is currently pursuing an MBA in Marquette's Graduate School of Management.
- Fan voting will account for one-third of the balloting and continue from now until May 9 at http://go.mu.edu/VoteGrill2016.
FACEOFF UNIT MUCH IMPROVED IN 2016
- After winning just 43 percent of their faceoffs during the first three seasons of NCAA Division I competition, the Golden Eagles sit at 66.3 percent through the first seven games of 2016 and rank third nationally. That improvement was highlighted in the March 6 victory over Detroit, in which MU won 95 percent (19-of-20) of the game's faceoffs, including the first 19 of the game. Sophomore transfer Zachary Melillo was named to the BIG EAST Conference Weekly Honor Roll on March 7 after going 18-for-19 at the X against the Titans and Marquette has won 67.3 percent (fifth nationally) of the draws he has taken in 2016. The Warren, New Jersey native leads the Golden Eagles with 46 ground balls this season and has had significant help on the wings from short sticks Jacob Richard (40 ground balls), Griffin Connor and Noah Joseph, as well as long stick midfielders Tyler Gilligan and Brendon Connolly.
DOMINANT DEFENSIVE EFFORTS FUEL VICTORIES OVER RICHMOND AND VILLANOVA
- The Golden Eagles boast one of the nation's best defensive units, which has come up big in victories at Richmond (two goals) on Feb. 27 and against then-No. 5/6 Villanova (three goals) on April 2. Through nine games, Marquette has held almost half of its opponents (four of nine) to five-or-fewer goals and leads the nation in scoring defense (6.33 goals per game). Richmond's two goals are the fewest MU has ever allowed in program history and the three goals by the Wildcats are a season low for them.
- Those two victories also highlighted the ability of the MU defense to take the opposing team's top scorer out of the equation. On Feb. 27 the Golden Eagles were able to shut down Richmond's leading-scorer Mitch Goldberg and did not concede a point to the junior for the first time in 27 games. Marquette also held Villanova junior Jake Froccaro, who entered April 2's game leading the nation with 3.88 goals per game, without a goal for the first time in 2016.
McNAMARA MAKING HIS MARK IN 2016
- Junior Ryan McNamara has burst onto the scene for the Golden Eagles in 2016 and is set to break MU's single season goal scoring mark (36 goals) by the end of the regular season if he keeps up his current pace. The Eagan, Minnesota native was honored as the BIG EAST Conference Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in his career on Monday, March 28 after a career-best five goals in MU's league opener against Georgetown.
- He is second in the BIG EAST and fifth in NCAA Division I with 3.11 goals per game (28 total goals) in the first nine contests of 2016, and has earned three BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll mentions in addition to the offensive player of the week honor. He has already surpassed his previous season-high goal total of 23 goals, which he recorded in 16 games last season.
- He has the nation's eighth-longest goal scoring streak at 13 games and he has scored a total of 35 times during those games.
- Dating back to April of last season, McNamara has scored 38 goals over his last 15 contests (2.53 goals/game) and has accrued 51 points over that same stretch (3.34 points/game). Those games included matchups with then-No. 1 Notre Dame, No. 5 Denver (1g, 3a), No. 6 Duke (2g, 1a), No. 12 Georgetown (1g, 1a), and this season against then-No. 5 Villanova (4g).
- McNamara's 68 career goals are two behind Kyle Whitlow for second all-time in Marquette history and six behind Conor Gately's MU current record of 74. His 28 tallies in 2016 also sit just eight goals behind Tyler Melnyk's program record of 36 from 2014.
MARQUETTE 11-2 IN ONE-GOAL GAMES
- The ability to perform in tense late game circumstances has been a hallmark of the Marquette program under head coach Joe Amplo, evidenced by an all-time record of 11-2 in one-goal games. Marquette picked up its first such victory of 2016 in its BIG EAST opener against Georgetown, 9-8, on March 26 after winning five one-goal games last season. The Golden Eagles captured four one-goal victories in the first five games of 2015 and won eight straight one-goal contests until a loss to the Hoyas on March 21, 2015. In addition to being 11-2 all-time in games decided by one goal, MU is also 4-0 all-time in overtime games as a program.
BYRNES CONTINUES TO PRODUCE IN A NUMBER OF WAYS
- Liam Byrnes, the BIG EAST Preseason Co-Defensive Player of the Year, was the BIG EAST's unanimous selection at long stick midfielder last season and has returned to his role as a close defenseman in 2016. Byrnes has recorded a ground ball (186 total) in all but four of the 54 career games he has played for Marquette and had a team-high 52 ground balls and 26 caused turnovers in 2015. He is MU's all-time leader in ground balls and caused turnovers and has seen action in every game Marquette has ever played. The graduate student scored a career-best four goals in 2015 and has 14 career points (6g, 8a). He has tied or bettered MU single-game records in both caused turnovers (5 vs. Detroit) and ground balls (9 vs. Robert Morris) this season and is fourth in the country with 2.11 caused turnovers per game.
- Byrnes was named an Inside Lacrosse Face-off Yearbook Third Team Preseason All-American prior to the start of 2016 and was honored by the publication on Thursday, March 31 as a second team selection at the season's halfway point.
GATELY AGAIN ON TEWAARATON AWARD WATCH LIST
- Senior attackman Conor Gately was named to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List for the second time in his career in 2016. The watch list of 50 men's student-athletes will be cut down to 25 on April 28 and five finalists for the award will be announced on May 12. The Tewaaraton Award, presented by Under Armour, is recognized as the preeminent lacrosse award. The award selection committees are made up of premier collegiate coaches and are appointed by The Tewaaraton Foundation.
- Gately, a Marquette legacy, holds MU career records with 130 points on 74 goals and 56 assists. His second goal of the day at Quinnipiac on March 19, 2016 moved him past teammate Kyle Whitlow and into first in MU history with 71 career goals.
WHITLOW'S PRODUCTION WILL BE MISSED
- Midfielder Kyle Whitlow suffered a season-ending knee injury on Tuesday, March 8 at practice and will miss the remainder of his redshirt senior campaign. The two-time All-BIG EAST selection started all 49 games of his Marquette career and the Golden Eagles had never taken the field without him in the lineup until March 12 against Robert Morris. Whitlow's 70 career and 94 points are both second to Conor Gately in MU history. The Orillia, Ontario native scored his 60th career goal on April 11, 2015 at Providence to take sole possession of first place in Marquette history, surpassing Tyler Melnyk's previous record of 59 tallies.
LINEUP CHANGES A RESULT OF WHITLOW'S INJURY
- With Whitlow out of the lineup for the first time in program history against Robert Morris on March 12, head coach Joe Amplo used the opportunity to shake up his starters. Amplo slid leading scorer Ryan McNamara from the midfield into the attack unit with Conor Gately and Joseph Dunn. Blaine Fleming and Tanner Thomson each made their first starts of the year alongside Andy DeMichiei in the midfield, in place of McNamara and Whitlow. Fleming and Thomson each scored their first goals of the season against the Colonials, including the first two of his career for Thomson. Senior Brett Hornung also saw time on MU's specialty unit, scoring his first career goal in the second quarter on an EMO.
MARQUETTE'S ROSTER FEATURES NATION'S LARGEST SENIOR CLASS
- This year's roster features a 19-player senior class that is the largest in NCAA Division I men's lacrosse. The group includes five players who arrived on campus during the fall of 2011 and did not play in any games during their first year as the Golden Eagles only practiced. Liam Byrnes and B.J. Grill have already received their bachelor's degrees in that group, while Kyle Whitlow, Tyler Gilligan and Dan Mojica will graduate in May with MU's other four-year players. Marquette returns a total of eight starters and 35 letter winners from last year's 10-win squad.
- All 19 seniors and head manager Tommy Wright will be honored during Marquette's April 16 regular season home finale at Valley Fields against Providence.


Prime 25mm f/2.8 is designed for FX-format mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with DX models where it provides a 37.5mm equivalent focal length.
Specifically developed for macro photography, this lens is designed for use within a 2.5:1 to 5:1 magnification range for producing greater-than-life-size imagery. This lens does not offer infinity focus.
When at 5:1 magnification, the lens has a minimum focusing distance of 6.8" along with a working distance of 1.6", which affords sufficient room for illuminating your subject. At the 2.5:1 position, a minimum focusing distance of 9.2" is possible along with a working distance of 1.8".
Wide-angle design benefits the high magnification design by providing greater depth of field compared to telephoto or long lens designs.
Manual focus operation for precise control over focusing distance when working with close-up subjects.
One extra-low dispersion element greatly reduces chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color accuracy.
Eight-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out of focus quality when using shallow depth of field.
Especially slim and lightweight physical design is easier to use handheld and offers more room for illuminating close-up subjects.
Wide-angle prime is designed for full-frame cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 38.4mm equivalent focal length.

Gordon Ramsay just shared a trailer for the latest episode of Hell's Kitchen USA on his Instagram page and some of his fans were left a little confused.
In the clip, we see Gordon's daughter Megan celebrating her 21st birthday in the programme, where the restaurant's chefs cook a celebration meal for her.
WATCH: See inside Gordon and wife Tana's home
Of course, things go wrong – don't mention the noodles! – and both Megan and her chef dad are left looking a little worried (plus the obligatory fiery Gordon in kitchen drama).
Gordon posted: "What are the #Vegas odds on the Young Guns delivering for @megan__ramsay’s birthday tonight on @hellskitchenfox ??? I’d say slim to none….see you at 8/7c."
The video shows Megan's impressive cake with a '21' on top – but Gordon's followers quickly noticed a slight hiccup… his daughter is now 23.
Megan Ramsay's 21st birthday cake on Hell's Kitchen
"Wait, she's 23 so this was filmed 2 years ago?" wrote one fan.
Another replied: "Exactly, I've been following chef Ramsay for a while and I could've sworn I saw her 21st birthday was longer ago than a couple of months ago."
"She's 23. Her birthday is in May," said a third fan and another added, "Yes they filmed this before covid!"
Aha! Mystery solved. The episode was filmed before the pandemic and is only just airing now, so it's a belated 21st birthday celebration to Megan.
Nevertheless, fans are super excited for the show to air, with one saying: "This is the episode I've been waiting for!!!!!"
Gordon's wife Tana previously told HELLO! how the family had spent lockdown, revealing: "My eldest, Meg, is working full time still from home, so she's kept busy. Holly is busy doing a fashion course. Courses are online at the moment, so she's working and having to self-discipline, I suppose, but university is sort of like that.
"Jack is busy and Oscar is running around keeping us all busy. Matilda is taking a gap year so she's a great pair of hands helping me at the moment but also working part-time nannying. So everyone is crazy!"

Ag News: Net Farm Income Higher
**The USDA Economic Research Service updated their net farm income forecast for 2019, and now expect net farm income to increase $4.0 billion or 4.8% from 2018 to $88 billion this year.
If that does happen, according to agweb.com, inflation-adjusted net farm income would remain slightly below its historical average of $90.1 billion.
USDA data notes, however, the increase in government payments and flat expenses are the driving forces behind the income increase.
**It used to be, consumers wanted farmers to be local, healthy or safe, but now, according to a global study by Cargill, the new buzz-word is sustainable.
Milkbusiness.com reports, Cargill found half of the 4,000 surveyed in the U.S., China, Mexico and Spain saw a farmer, primarily, as a "person who feeds the world," while just 25% chose "steward of the Earth's natural resources."
Cargill found the majority say farmers should care most about "providing safe, healthy, abundant and affordable food," yet would prefer their food come from smaller/specialty, local or organic farms, which can't necessarily compete on cost.
**A month ago, the EPA stunned the corn industry with news it approved 31 additional small refinery exemptions for big oil companies.
Then, last week, according to agwired.com, National Corn Growers Association President Lynn Chrisp sent a letter to President Trump encouraging him to step in and help out corn farmers that have been affected by this mistake.

Universidad Alberto Hurtado, Chile
This paper examines the possibilities to foster some decolonizing praxis through social intervention processes. In order to do that, there is a discussion of the results of qualitative research carried out in 2013-2014 on the experience of a professional team, which created intervention approaches to recover and put into practice an “other” knowledge, Mapuche knowledge, through their work with Mapuche children and youth, with a foundation funded by the Chilean government. Findings from the study suggest there is a space of professional secrecy that can be used by practitioners to dismantle the colonial matrix. Besides, the study evidences the need to critically analyse the role of universities in training professionals engaged in social intervention, as well as the challenge of strengthening Mapuche organizations and movements, so they can monitor how their culture is subsumed by hegemonic social policy.
Keywords: Social intervention, decolonization, epistemology, Mapuche people.


VAN HORNE — A threat against a school in the Benton Community School District prompted district officials to cancel school today, the superintendent said in a news release Thursday afternoon.
An unidentified person threatened “an act of violence,” according to the release.
As a result, the district canceled all district activities — including classes, athletic and extracurricular events — from Thursday afternoon through Sunday.
“The district takes any threat of violence very seriously, and this is no exception,” Superintendent Pam Ewell said in a statement.
The Benton County Sheriff’s Office received information from the FBI about a threat against the middle school, Sheriff Ronald Tippett said in a statement, and the threat is believed to have come from someone at the middle school.
The FBI and local law enforcement are continuing to investigate, according to the release.
The rural school district, located 30 miles west of Cedar Rapids, serves 1,400 students.

The Noun Project has a huge collection of symbols and icons. You can find an image to illustrate just about any idea. You have permission to use The Noun Project's images in your own project because they are covered under a Creative Commons Attribution or a Public Domain license. Downloading from The Noun Project does require a free account.
If you’d rather omit the “Created by” text that is attached to an icon, you can choose to pay $1.99 to purchase that one icon or buy a subscription that allows unlimited downloads without attribution. A Noun Project subscription is $9.99 a month or $39.99 a year. Profits are shared with the creators every time you download an icon. I subscribe to The Noun Project and use it all the time. Maybe you’ve noticed the icons and symbols I use in my videos (like this one) and in my blog posts (like this one).
Unless you have a Pro account, all of The Noun Project’s icons are only available to download in black. You can download and then change the color yourself using graphic design software. The Noun Project suggests Illustrator or Inkscape. You might not have access to Illustrator, and Inkscape, while free, is cumbersome to install and use. Instead, I’d like to show you how I recolor Noun Project icons with Method Draw. It’s a free web app and requires no installation and no log in.
How to Recolor a Noun Project Image Using Method Draw
Here's the shorter version of the directions:
- Download SVG image from The Noun Project.
- Open Method Draw in your web browser.
- Open the downloaded SVG image from Method Draw's File menu.
- Choose a larger canvas size.
- Select image and resize it to fit the canvas by dragging a corner.
- Click color tool.
- Select a color or enter a Hex code.
- Export a PNG from File menu.
Here's the longer version of the directions:
First, find and download an image from The Noun Project. When you click the Download button, choose to Give Credit (Free). If you have a subscription, you won’t see this option. Then choose Download SVG. Scalable Vector Graphics are completely customizable. You can make them as big or small as you want and change the colors.
Go to editor.method.ac to open Method Draw in your Mac, PC, Linux, or Chromebook web browser. Click Method Draw's File menu and choose Open SVG. Choose the SVG file you just downloaded.
The default size for the canvas is quite small. Make it larger by clicking Sizes and choosing a larger size. I like 1024 x 768. You might have to scroll to the top left of the canvas to see your image. Since SVG files are made of multiple shapes, select all by holding down Control (PC and Chromebook) or Command (Mac) and A on your keyboard. Then hold down Control or Command and G on your keyboard to group the entire image together. Hold down Shift and drag the blue box at the bottom right corner of the image to resize the image to fill the canvas.
With the image selected, click the color tool. Choose a color from the palette or enter a Hex color code. Make sure the Alpha (the value labeled as A) is set for 100%. Click OK.
Click Method Draw's File menu and choose Export as PNG. Portable Network Graphics aren’t nearly as customizable as SVGs, however, PNGs can be opened and imported into just about any software or app that supports images. SVGs are rarely supported in software and apps.
The PNG image is displayed in a new window. Right click the image and save it. Now you use your freshly colored image in your projects!
Two Other Ways
If you’re using PowerPoint, you can download an image's PNG from The Noun Project and insert it into a slide. Then choose Format > Picture > Recolor image. It might take some adjusting of Saturation and Temperature to achieve your desired color.
If you’re using other software, you might have some luck changing black icons to gray and white by adjusting contrast and exposure settings. For example, in Google Slides, right click an imported PNG and choose Image Options. Move the Brightness and Contrast sliders to achieve a white or gray color.
Interested in more tips for using images in your projects? Watch my video Free Images for Your Projects. Note that The Noun Project has been updated since this video was made. You can now download PNG files directly from The Noun Project. Previously you had to download a .zip file, which complicated things. It's easier now!

Are we ‘WORTHLESS’ or ‘UNWORTHY’?
June 1 Bible Reading: Job Chapters 25-27
"How then can man be righteous before God? Or how can he be pure who is born of a woman? If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight, how much less man, who is a maggot, and a son of man, who is a worm?" (Job 25:4-6)
Bildad’s brief speech (the shortest in the book) emphasized the greatness of God (vv.1–3) and the nothingness of man (vv.4–6). He responds to Job’s argument by praising God and harshly debasing humanity, and his brief parting shot is a summation in which he celebrated the loftiness of God (vv.1–3) and acknowledged the lowliness of humanity (vv.4–6). God is the all-powerful, omnipresent Sovereign of the universe; whereas humans are sinners of such impurity that God in His holiness cannot look on them. When even the moon and the stars are not pure in God’s sight, what hope is there for man, a mere maggot and worm?
It is important to notice that Bildad was making a statement about people’s moral standing before God (v. 4) rather than their relative worth as creatures. Scripture supports Bildad’s assertion that no one is pure who is “born of a woman.” Sin pollutes every one of us, so that from our earliest days our lives are corrupted by evil (Gen. 8:21; Psalms 51:5; Romans 5:12). Even our faltering attempts at righteousness are nothing but filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). Our fallen condition makes us unworthy to stand before a holy God (Isaiah 53:6; Rom. 3:10, 23).
Yet though we are unworthy, we are not worthless! We have been created by God in His own image (Gen. 1:26–27; Psalms 8:5; 139:13–16), which establishes our inherent worth and gives us dignity. Moreover, God so loved us that despite our rebellion and hostility, He sent Jesus to rescue us from sin and retrieve our humanity from corruption (Romans 5:8). And when we turn to Jesus for the forgiveness of our sin, we become children of God and fellow-heirs of Christ’s glory (Romans 8:14–17; Eph. 1:11–12).
As humans, we are not trash, but we are in trouble because we are captive to sin. However, God has provided a way of escape from this problem. Through Christ He promises to make us into the people He created us to be (see John 3:16–21).
The true knowledge of God should lead to humility, which is the refusal to trust oneself for fulfillment of needs but instead turning to God for help. We should understand that our own righteousness is a vain hope. Instead, we need to believe that only Christ’s imputed righteousness can allow us to stand before God!
"For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." (Romans 8:3-4)

Harry Styles won’t be dropping a solo single until April 7. But being a part of the world’s biggest boy band apparently means gigs will roll in whether or not the music is out. That might be how Harry booked a spot as the musical guest on an upcoming episode of “Saturday Night Live.”
Harry will join the show April 15, just a week after his single drops. It’ll be Harry’s solo debut on TV, but the stage is familiar territory as One Direction has played the late night sketch show three times in the past. Jimmy Fallon is hosting Harry’s episode.
The booking does raise a big question. The program’s musical guests typically perform two songs throughout an episode. Harry hasn’t said anything about a second song, but his cryptic promotions haven’t limited the release to a single track, either.
Do you think Harry has a second track coming out April 7?
See the announcement from “SNL” below.

Quick Link Removal
They are a clever piece of modern bike technology, simple and effective, but they can be a real pain to remove once they are fitted. Quick links can prove to be quite stubborn to remove by hand, especially ones that have been on a chain for a long time. I have managed to get a few off by just pushing the chain links together, but generally this method won’t work. The worst thing to do would be to damage or break your chain, so don’t use any other tools to try and bend or push the link out.
Just a Gear Cable
Normal pliers won’t work, so you need to buy a special pair of quick link removers, like these ones. However, if you’re stuck on the side of the road, or need to get the link off pronto here is a video showing how I removed a link without using special pliers. I would recommend buying the specialised pliers if you want to do it the best way, but this method in the video does actually work.
This method should be a fairly easy way of pulling apart the link that is locked into your chain. Because the 2 quick link plates need to be pulled in opposite directions, a gear cable can be wrapped around the link, doubling the wrap makes it more secure, and then you will have the two ends of the cable in your hands. By pulling these two ends apart, you are essentially releasing the links from their locked positions. It may be possible to do this by hand, or by using two pliers for more force.
Choose the Correct Quick Link
There are different quick links for different chains, so they should match and for best compatibility it’s best to buy the brand that makes your chain. If you have an old 6 x 2 speed, you shouldn’t use an 11 speed quick link. Many vintage bikes will still have their original pin-secured chains on them, or at least older chains that were secured by this traditional method. Today you have the choice to use either type of chain, so if you have a traditional chain tool you can still choose which chain is best for you.

Girls volleyball: Stevenson settles in, prevails at Palatine
After six weeks of practicing in its gymnasium, Palatine's girls volleyball team finally got to play it first home match on Monday night.
But it was visiting Stevenson which made itself feel right at home as the match progressed.
After dropping a 2-point first set, the Patriots got rolling in Set 2 and then scored a decisive win in the final set to post a 24-26, 25-17, 25-12 nonconference triumph.
It also made for a very happy birthday celebration for a pair of Patriots.
Senior Hope Havenhill turned 16 on Monday, while classmate Riana Doretti is now 18.
Patriots coach Tim Crow never had two players celebrate a birthday on the same day in his 16 years directing the program.
But he has celebrated many wins, and this one he said came down to serving.
"The difference tonight was that we had 14 aces and only 4 service errors," he said. "So our ace-to-error ratio was huge."
Junior Sophie Sorensen had some huge kills for the Pats (11-8) and finished with a match-high 13. Sophomore Lilly Cozzi added 7 while Havenhill added 4.
Sorensen and Havenhill are both southpaws. Senior setter Alex Cuc (24 assists) is in her second season setting the talented duo.
"Oh my God, they are so reliable at two different positions," Cuc said of the right side hitting Havenhill and outside hitter Sorenson.
"Being lefties, I need to keep the ball in the court more. So I can't push it out as much because it's harder for them to reach but they can play some bad sets, too."
There weren't many bad sets from Cuc's 61 attempts, which resulted in 24 assists.
When she assisted junior middle hitter Annie Armgardt for a kill that gave Stevenson a 17-16 lead in Set 2, it sparked a 8-point serving run by senior Natalie Mun.
"Natalie came in as our serving specialist and did a great job," Crow said. "She turned the second game around for us. She got us momentum by serving a bunch in a row."
Mun's ace made it 24-17 and after a side out, it was a kill from Sorenson for set point.
"Sophie missed out first 13 matches due to an injury," Crow said. "It's a nice luxury when you get a player like that back. She still is not at her 100 percent level but she is getting there."
The Pats were just getting warmed up for a third set which they broke open with a 5-point service run by senior libero Chloe Robinson (15 digs).
Her service streak made it 17-10 and soon after, Becca Sullivan strung together 4 points for a 22-10 cushion.
"That was crazy," said Havenhill, who is committed to Rochester University (N.Y.). "I think our momentum really picked up in the last game. We finally played as a team."
"We figured out where to serve, and they made some errors which kind of put pressure on them," said Crow, whose team coincidentally didn't play its first home match until its 21st match last fall. "I think our service game was really strong and were able to string some good runs about three different times so that was helpful. We're still struggling a little in serve receive so that is something we will continue to work on."
Cuc also had 2 aces, 2 kill and 2 digs.
"Honestly, I think we were kind of playing scared, timid and not too clean in the first two sets," she said. "So we said we really had start talking and communicating. It felt great "
The Pirates (11-7) were led on attack by Haley Holz (9 kills), Beverly Ryan (8) and Karina Szafraniec (3) while setter Allison Aldag handed out 22 assists. Amanda Delio had 12 digs followed by Holz (7) and Katie Lindert (6).
"It comes down to being consistent and responding to adversity," said Palatine coach Dan Gavin, whose club hosts Hoffman Estates on Tuesday and Barrington on Thursday. "When things go well for us, we play really well. When the chips are down a bit, we struggle to find the response and that's something we are challenging the girls to get better at it.
"We have to get outside of ourselves a bit, putting the 'we' before 'me' and think of how we can make the team successful rather than letting adversity break us down as individuals."
After 17 matches on the road, the Pirates are right back at home tonight.
"The schedule wasn't exactly balanced for us," Gavin said. "You'd think we would have had a better performance on our home court, but we'll move on and get better. It's nice we can get right back on the court the next day and get this taste out of our mouths."

Spanish LaLiga 2 side Malaga have announced that they will likely be making first-team players redundant as part of drastic efforts to cut costs and avoid the risk of liquidation.
Back in May, Malaga decided to terminate/suspend the staffs' contracts but no players affected amid the coronavirus crisis.
On Monday, the club issued a statement to confirm that their latest cost-cutting measures "will directly affect the squad of the men's first team".
"This new restructuring combines with the economic plan that seeks to bring the club out of the complicated financial situation in which it continues to be immersed, despite recent efforts," Malaga said.
"Malaga Club de Futbol is obliged to take this step for the good of the club and hopes Malaguista fans and members understand and support this new effort, the sole objective of which is to create an acceptable and competitive structure with which to give back Malaga Club de Futbol its lost hope."
The statement was, however, unclear on how many players are likely to be released.
Malaga, who were Champions League quarter-finalists seven years ago, finished 14th in the Segunda Division last season.

The town of Rosolini has its official beginnings in 1712, making it "new" as far as Sicily is concerned. The land and territory was given to prince Don Francesco Moncada e Cirino (say that three times fast!) granted to him to build a village. With the feudal grant came the inherent perogatives to impose taxes on subjects, administer civil and criminal justice, and administer civic offices and feudal life. There had already been a castle dating to 1485, built by King Ferdinand, and in this period it was expanded and altered. Churches and palazzi were constructed, along with humbler homes for the feudal subjects.
The town may be "new" but there is still ancient history around, back to prehistoric eras, actually. The archeological finds at Cava Grande, a paleolithic site, Caverna Lazzaro and bronze age necropolis demonstrate there were ancient habitations here. Then a Greek and Roman presence, when it was called Rus Helorinum. With the fall of Rome, the area was taken over the Vandals, and then the Arabs, who called it Raalsenem. The Normans brought the feudal system to southern Italy and it remained that way until the unification of Italy in 1861. Rosolini is still agricultural with the cultivation of carob, grape vines, grains and olives. There are still crafts traditions, like basket makers, stone cutters, wood workers, and iron smiths.
The caramel-colored town has a tight grid of streets with palaces and lots of restaurants and shops tucked in. The main hang-out is Piazza Garibaldi, and the street leading off, Corso Savoia, is a prime strolling spot. There is a nice park dedicated to Pope John Paul II, with steps, fountains and green space, a play area and relaxing spot. The main church ("chiesa madre") is dedicated to St. Joseph, with a baroque facade and splendid frescoes and paintings inside. The church of the Crocefisso is a stand-out one with its twin bell towers. Wander the old town, find the hidden treasures tucked in the streets -cafes, boutiques, wine bars and restaurants.
Rosolini is next to Ispica, and close to famous Baroque town, Noto. It is in proximity to Modica, Ragusa and Siracusa, and the beaches at marvelous Marzememi. Visit the archeological sites, and catch a glimpse of the ancient Roman aqueduct Cansisina.
While you're here, be sure to sample the tasty treats of the area, like fresh ricotta-stuffed ravioli, the hand-made cavatelli pasta, and mustazzola cookies, along with Sicily's famous almond sweets, granitas and more.

(CNN) -- For those of us educated in the wake of Brown vs. Board of Education, it's hard not to endow the Supreme Court with awesome powers to wield on behalf of goodness and light. But Dukes vs. Wal-Mart, the massive sex discrimination suit against the nation's largest private employer, has been a painful lesson in the limitations of the courtroom remedy.
The case was struck down today after 10 years of litigation, as the Court ruled unanimously not to certify Dukes as a class action suit.
Dukes vs. Wal-Mart began in 1996 with the ordeal of Stephanie Odle. A supervisor told Odle, when she was an assistant manager about to become a single mother, that a co-worker made more money because he "supports his wife and his two kids."

In backgammon the doubling dice is utilized to enhance the stakes through the match. The doubling cube is a comparatively new addition to backgammon but it surely elevates the game to a brand new level with regards to tactic.

Initially Every single game is worthy of 1 point. On his flip just before a player rolls the dice he may possibly elect to offer the doubling cube towards the opponent. Should the opponent accepts the cube it really is turned with quantity two dealing with up as well as the opponent can take the dice into possession, this means that only he can initiate the subsequent doubling. But since the doubling cube continues to be employed when the game is worth two details. Need to the doubling cube utilised a second time along with the opponent would settle for the game would now be value 4 details.
If a participant to whom the doubling was offered doesn’t want to simply accept the doubling he can resign. In that situation the sport is completed as well as the winner will get as quite a few details as the sport was well worth before the doubling was made available.
The doubling cube is a normal die Along with the quantities 2, 4, eight, 16, 32 and sixty four on it. Each and every variety signifies a multiplier, which might alwas be doubled.
