Haudenosaunee Wooden Stick Festival and Randy Hall Memorial Tournament
September 8, 2019 Nick Bonsignore
The 4th annual Haudenosaunee Wooden Stick Festival takes place in late September as a way to keep the original spirit of lacrosse alive and well. Since so many current lacrosse players know so little about the true history of lacrosse, events like this are crucial for keeping the history alive. Education through example is a beautiful way for lacrosse to come full circle in this modern age. By learning about the way lacrosse was first played and honoring the Indigenous values that kept lacrosse alive for ages, we can keep lacrosse from falling out of touch with what makes it a medicine game. We learned a little about the festival, the tournament, and Indigenous Values at LaxCon 2019 from Clay and Croy, two players who help the event be so…eventful.
Indigenous Lacrosse: The History of Lacrosse Reborn for Today
Lacrosse needs to keep its own past alive through events like the 4th annual Haudenosaunee Wooden Lacrosse Stick Festival & Randy Hall Memorial Tournament from Indigenous Values. Without real education through experience, the history of lacrosse will become a diluted piece of the past.
Modern lacrosse is already so very different from the original game. Now, this is not a bad thing, but changing most of the game and not remembering the way it used to be is wrong. The history of lacrosse is the only reason why we have the modern game; without the origins of lacrosse, we'd probably be forced to play baseball in the Spring. So revamp your excitement for the fastest, and most historic, game on two feet by learning about its true origins at the Haudenosaunee Wooden Lacrosse Stick Festival.
Indigenous Values & What They Do
Indigenous Values is an organization devoted to helping the world understand the true values of the Onondaga Nation. The Onondaga Nation is one of six nations in the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, a collection of Indigenous Peoples in a peaceful collaboration of sovereign government recognized by the United Nations. The multiple nations within the Haudenosaunee Confederacy all work with the Indigenous Values Initiative in an effort to educate the present population about their ancient values.
The Haudenosaunee have survived as a people, despite the destructive effects of genocide, colonization, and assimilation, and are working to share the enduring values they have maintained. Their insight and values are focused on living with the Earth and preventing further harm to our planet. Respect and appreciation for the health of our planet have long been part of their way of living but the necessity for it has become far more apparent in the modern age. These values are shared by the Haudenosaunee through their educational initiatives and instilled into the participants of events like the Wooden Lacrosse Stick Festival & Randy Hall Memorial Tournament.
4th Annual Haudenosaunee Wooden Lacrosse Stick Festival
On September 28th and 29th, 2019, there will be the 4th Haudenosaunee Wooden Lacrosse Stick Festival held in Liverpool, New York. This festival is for appreciating how lacrosse began and learning about the values the game was created to teach. Any player of any age would learn a lot by taking the time to attend this festival.
Lacrosse is still ceremonially played as a medicine game, and the original way to play lacrosse necessitates wooden lacrosse sticks. The lacrosse stick itself is traditionally made from a living Hickory tree so that the stick may contain the spirit of the tree. That tree then lives on through the game of lacrosse, or Deyhontsigwa'ehs, and never truly stops being part of our world. This transfer comes full circle when Indigenous people were traditionally buried with a wooden lacrosse stick. After death, becoming part of Mother Earth eventually leads to more trees; and in turn, more sticks.
Learning Lacrosse from the Land of Its Origin
You can still walk on as a team or an individual for the Randy Hall Masters Wooden Lacrosse Stick tournament, and attending the festival, in general, is always an option. Anyone interested in registering can do so on the Indigenous Values website and plan to attend an unforgettable weekend. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet other lacrosse enthusiasts, Indigenous historians and activists, and friendly faces looking to enjoy lacrosse. All of these people will be gathered at Onondaga Lake because of the work that Randy Hall did to return the festival to where the game was originally played.
The best part about all the people coming together is that it will be in the name of preserving the history of Indigenous Lacrosse with some of the most impressive wooden lacrosse sticks on the planet. You can learn more about which specific Stickmakers will be in attendance this year by contacting info@indigenousvalues.org or following them on Instagram at @indigenousvalues.

About Nick Bonsignore
I stopped playing other sports when I found lacrosse and I don't regret it. I've always thought that lacrosse had something that other sports just didn't, and once I picked up a stick it was game over; or should I say game on! Outside of lacrosse, I am a huge Cleveland sports fan, a dog lover, a frequent customer at your local Chinese restaurant, and can be found listening to the newest music on Z107.9!

Blogcritics catches up with "Sleepy Hollow" and Feud actor Dustin Lewis.
Among many of the discussions on social media during the long hiatus, chatter turned to one character in particular, Joe Corbin, portrayed by Zach Appelman.
'Sleepy Hollow' raises funds to aid wounded military.
The "Sleepy Hollow" season two finale is a great conclusion to the first two seasons of the FOX series.
As Tom Mison said in his interview with "TV Guide," "It's all about Abbie. He's completely in love with her."
It's definitely a gripping, intense, climatic, yet emotional episode; lines are drawn and the players firmly decide which side they're on: good or evil.
The broadcast networks are sabotaging their long-term futures by consistently producing mediocre and formulaic scripted series.
'Sleepy Hollow' Is Back on Track and the Fans Rejoice!
"Sleepy Hollow" is back on track as the creators promised!
"Sleepy Hollow" star Tom Mison chats with Blogcritics about his character and the remainder of season two.
Can "Sleepy Hollow'"s creative team save the series?

Talking To Children About Their School Anxiety
Carleton Kendrick
Learn how to talk your kids through common anxiety about returning to school.
FOR AGES: Five to 13
Most children experience some fears and anxiety as each new school year begins. They worry they won't be able to read fast enough, and fret that older, popular kids will think they're geeks.
Your children may be silent about their back-to-school fears, but that doesn't mean they're anxiety-free. Kids may be reluctant to share with you their thoughts of impending confusion and embarrassment. A supportive family conversation about these feelings can be reassuring. Here are some words to help your kids through four particularly difficult transitions.
More: 5 Positive Phrases To Say To Your Anxious Child About School
The Words: "Have you been thinking about what you're going to learn in kindergarten?"
The Reason: Kids about to enter kindergarten often have unrealistic expectations about what they'll need to learn right away. And your child may also be discouraged to find that some of his new classmates' skills are more advanced than his.
Describe to your child what he'll learn in kindergarten, and explain that no one expects him to learn it all over night. Your child's realistic expectations about kindergarten will help prevent initial disappointment and stress.
The Words: "Have any other older kids told you about what kindergarten is like?"
The Reason: Older kids sometimes delight in telling frightening kindergarten stories to younger children. These kindergarten veterans speak with the voice of authority and may say things like: "They don't ever let you go to the bathroom!" and "You've got Mrs. Peterson? She expects everybody to know how to read on the first day of school."
You can use these "war stories" as a springboard to offer a kinder, more realistic picture of kindergarten.
The Words: "Have you been wondering if Miss McCarthy will be a nice teacher?"
The Reason: Your soon-to-be first grader now has a frame of reference to compare teachers. Based on his relationship with his kindergarten teacher, your child is either hoping for someone just like her or her total opposite. Relate any positive interactions that you and your acquaintances have had with this teacher: "I've seen her playing with her dog in the park, and she seems energetic and friendly," or "Jimmy's mom said Miss McCarthy was always kind to him and helped him do his best."
The Words: "Would you like to go over with some of your friends and play on the school playground?"
The Reason: Give your child a chance to play and enjoy herself on her first-grade playground. When she goes out on the playground on the first day of school, she'll bring that familiarity with her. A happy memory can help balance the uncertainty she's carrying.
The Words: "What worries your friends most about starting middle school?
The Reason: At this age and stage of her development, asking about your new middler's friends' anxieties, instead of her own, may be the best way to open up discussion. She'll indirectly work her own concerns into her responses, and may disguise her own worries as her friends'.
She's most likely heard tales about fighting in the corridors and kids being locked in their lockers. Going to school with older, bigger teens is a frightening experience for most fifth, sixth, and seventh graders. Don't dismiss your kid's fears -- they're probably based more on fact than fiction. Troubleshooting how her "friends" can feel safer in this new, intimidating world can provide her with much needed reassurance and support.
The Words: "Have you worked out a backup plan if you forget your locker combination?"
The Reason: According to student surveys conducted by the National Council of Middle Schools, locked lockers are new middlers' biggest fear. Kids are very anxious about feeling humiliated in front of upperclassmen as they struggle to open their lockers. Have your kids practice using a combination lock at home, and brainstorm two different backup places to store their written combination and lock instructions.
A NEW SCHOOL
The Words: "What do you think it's going to be like being the new kid in school?"
The Reason: An open-ended question like this may elicit responses ranging from anger at you for making her move to a "no sweat" false bravado attitude. If she's successfully negotiated this transition before, remind her of that accomplishment.
If you've moved during the summer vacation months, there's more time for her anticipatory anxiety to build -- imagining the worst. Be aware that her behavior may be rather erratic during "the wait."
Most educational psychologists recommend moving during the school year because it eliminates this dreaded summer wait, while offering the child an immediate opportunity to assume her familiar role as student and to make friends at her new school.
The Words: "I'm going to call the principal to see if they have a buddy system for new students. Is that OK with you?"
The Reason: Although your older kids may appear disinterested and cool to the idea of an assigned buddy during the first week or so of school, they'll welcome your efforts in this area. A friendly, classmate who can show them the ropes and make some social introductions can be a true lifesaver to the "new kid."

The Magic of Spaghetti Westerns
By David Lopez
Earlier in the westerns, the difference between good and evil was defined, by the color of their hats. Good were men of honor, usually law enforcement an wore a white hat; while the bad, bank robbers or livestock thieves, were dressed in black including their hat, and how they tried to aspire the love of women who were kidnapped and tied to the train tracks instead of going to one of the thousands of cat houses milling about the Old West, but they could not, because there was no sex in the gringo westerns. Finally, there are the Indians, who were evil because of just being Indians.
Then came along a few Italians and a couple of Spaniards to create a revolution in the way of showing the old west in the cinema, where good and evil are mingled and confused, especially by self-interest, easy money and sex. The law hunted fugitives like animals for a few dollars; the good are not so bad and are sometimes even good.
A subgenre became known as the Spaghetti Western. The adjective "spaghetti" comes from the fact that all those cowboy movies, even though it's the "story of the old American West" were filmed in Italy (filmed in Spain known as Western Chorizo).
The essential gender souls were: Sergio Leone (Director) Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef (actors) and Ennio Morricone (composer).
With classic and emblematic films as the dollar trilogy Leone's: A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), has left a deep mark on popular culture.
There were other directors such as Enzo Barboni, Sergio Corbucci, Joaquin and Rafael Romero Marchent; actors Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda, Terence Hill, Bud Spencer and Anthony Steffen and composers, Luis Bacalou, Fidenco and Armando Trovaioli, who made films among which are: Oro sangriento (1970); Ocaso de un pistolero (1965); A Pistol for Ringo (1965); Cazador de recompensas (1966) and some of comedies such as They Call Me Trinity (1971), Trinity is STILL My Name(1972), None of the Three Were Called Trinity (1972) and My Name Is Nobody (1973), though none could overcome the popularity of the dollar trilogy.

I am squarely blaming the ants. Combating their shenanigans had weakened my reserves and left me susceptible to a bug of another kind.
Mom was down for the count.
One minute I was driving in my car and totally fine and the next, I wanted my mommy and a mountain of blankets. You know how sometimes it happens that fast?
Unfortunately, my schedule was not conducive to a recovery stint on the couch. There were drop-offs and pick-ups looming, so I penciled in a whole lot of sucking it up to the agenda.
Blessedly by 3 pm, I made it to the couch for good. I caught a break when my eldest was able to swing by and get his brother on his way home from work. I didn't even have to try to sound pathetic when I asked, I was already there.
With three boys, I live in fear of being sick. I want to be pampered and have someone watch Hallmark movies with me in between naps. Yeah, not so much.
Everyone just stared at me like I was a needy alien who landed on their couch. I thought about going upstairs to bed, but I knew from experience that with three teenagers it is best to have a visual at all times.
When I was lucid, I heard the word "dinner" tossed around several times but no one moved. My husband had arrived and seemed perturbed at this turn of events. He knows if I am horizontal when he gets home, I am either pregnant or in dire straits. At that point he probably would've preferred me with child because it is not—as far as we know, anyway—contagious.
I moaned a little for effect and nothing.
I announced my temperature as a respectable 101.2 and still nothing.
The final dagger? Even the dog looked unfazed.
I couldn't keep anything down but small sips of water and my fever kept climbing but ESPN was more riveting than the medical drama playing out in my family room. The boys just wrestled like any other night, messed with the dog endlessly and shouted at one another.
Had they always been this loud? Why is everyone so loud?
Surprisingly, as my time on the couch increased, people began to take notice. My eldest went up to get my pillow from my bed. My middle son brought me a cold bottle of water and my youngest actually read his book—the greatest gift in that moment for sure.
And the dog finally snuggled against me, as he should. I reveled in the attention I so richly deserved.
But it was short lived. As I dozed on and off for the rest of the evening, the boys went to a friend's house, the dog got walked and my husband cooked dinner.
Sadly, even the fever could not disguise the fact that the place looked like we needed a hoarding intervention. But if we are being honest, it sort of looked like that before I was stricken. The return to college and football two-a-days had taken a toll on every room in my house. There were either clothes airing out, packages or duffel bags ready for departure on nearly every surface.
It was way easier to just shut my eyes on the way to the bathroom at least for the time being. I managed to unearth the remote while shuffling to and fro, so at least I was free of listening to the same five stories over and over on Sports Center.
I was feeling very neglected when the boys rolled in about 10:30 pm. My husband had checked on me one last time before going to bed earlier. When he said get rest, he meant it. He wanted his comrade back because being alone in the trenches is scary.
The boys kicked off shoes, got snacks and ignored the lump on the couch formerly known as their mother. I had raised a bunch of heathens. They trudged upstairs and left me feeling very sorry for myself. Sniff.
Then, my middle son paused on the stairs and returned to get his charger which was plugged into the wall behind my sick bed. As he bent down to retrieve it, he leaned in and kissed my forehead. Just like I did when the kids were sick.
And that's when I realized they weren't being unsympathetic; they were just out of their element. So, when I was at my most susceptible they reverted to what I had taught them.
They had acted on the basic principle that if someone is down, you take a moment and be kind. After all, unbeknownst to you, it just might help bolster their reserves.

Edith Kramer
Edith Kramer is one of the pioneers in the field of art therapy, known and respected throughout the world. This collection of papers reflects her lifetime of work in this field, showing how her thoughts and practice have developed over the years. She considers a wide spectrum of issues, covering art, art therapy, society, ethology and clinical practice and placing art therapy in its social and historical context.

Art as Therapy offers a rare insight into the personal development of one of the world's leading art therapists and the development of art therapy as a profession. It will make fascinating reading for anyone interested in art therapy.

Women's lives are made up of circles. (Men's lives might be, too, but I'm not a man so I can't testify.) We have a family circle, a close friends circle, a church circle, a work circle, maybe a gym circle or a hobby circle. With the advent of the internet, we now have email circles and Facebook circles and blogging circles and LinkedIn circles, too. Those circles are precious and important to our mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
Eight years ago I was invited to join a circle of women who blogged together, focused on our mutual goal of becoming published inspirational authors. Through email and blogging, those women became my friends and my sisters in spirit. They were (are) my prayer partners, my encouragers, and sometimes my commiserators. I love them.
Shortly after my hysterectomy, which followed close on the heels of an uncomfortable move and a dramatic change in lifestyle, I was welcomed into a circle of women who gathered weekly to practice Reiki. We were all from different backgrounds, religions, generations, and every other socio-political-economic-educational difference you can imagine. And those women became my friends, my sisters in spirit. Healing came to me through their hands, physically and emotionally and spiritually. They offered love unconditionally, and I needed that. I love them.
Tonight I had the privilege (and I count it a privilege) of being included in a women's new moon circle. Coming together on the new moon, creating a sacred space of trust and inclusion, setting aside those things that are holding us back and establishing positive intentions for the month ahead, was both uncomfortable and strangely familiar. Again, I found myself in a room of women from all different backgrounds and stories and beliefs. And again, I found myself in a circle of women with each other's best interests at heart.
Women in modern culture spend a great majority of their lives in comparison and judgment and competition with one another, and we are weakened because of it. The circles we build together (no matter how awkward and uncomfortable the building process is... I always feel like an oversharing dork afterward) are building blocks for the future. Not just for ourselves, but for our children, for our society, and for civilization.
Our ancestors understood this. Despite living in eras when women were more oppressed and endangered and vulnerable than we can imagine, women came together to encourage and support and strengthen one another. They did it in new moon rituals, in prayer groups, in quilting bees, and in a thousand other ways. We need to continue doing that. We need to hold one another up, not tear each other down. We are stronger together than we are apart.

October 20, 2009 (CHICAGO) Police were called to John Marshall Metro High School, 3250 West Adams, for what was described as a disturbance on the second floor.
No weapons were involved and no injuries were reported.
However, five students were taken from the school by police. There's no word yet if anyone will be charged.


Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro argued on Thursday that the United States had allegedly instructed Colombia to organize his assassination.
"I am saying this to the entire world — the order to kill Maduro was given to the [Colombian] government in Bogota from the White House that wants to kill me," Maduro said as broadcast by a state-run TV channel on Thursday.
The attack on Maduro occurred during a military parade in Caracas in early August. Maduro was unharmed while seven Venezuelan soldiers sustained injuries in the incident.
Maduro has repeatedly accused Washington and Bogota, particularly Colombian ex-president Juan Manuel Santos, of having a role in the attack. Moreover, Venezuela said it would put the blame for any future attack on its territory on Colombia. The Colombian Foreign Ministry denied any involvement of Bogota in the assassination attempt on Maduro.


The high cost of new specialty drugs rightly has our attention. But that's not the only reason why employers are reporting significantly higher increases in the per-employee cost of prescription drugs. A recent article in Bloomberg provides some chilling examples of massive and seemingly unjustifiable price hikes for brand-name drugs. According to BloombergView columnist Megan McArdle, "Drugmakers set prices based on whatever the market will bear, especially since demand for some therapeutic drugs is relatively inelastic — in other words, demand does not change much in response to price changes." And it's not just the brand-name drugs we have to worry about. An article published last year in Forbes describes why we're seeing unsettling increases in generic drug pricing as well; namely, consolidations in the pharma industry and supply shortages. Long story short, this is the year to focus attention on the drug benefit.


They say 'life is for living' and that it's no dress rehearsal so personally it was always only ever a basic IQ test to devote my career to the salmon river which was a decision made early in life. The natural beauty and vibe of the river is certainly addictive but so also is the 'banter' of brilliant riverbank relationships that form out of the thousands of salmon fishers most ghillies will meet throughout their professional careers. The salmon fishing pursuit has multiple attractions aside from the inevitability of enough thoughtful casts!
Taking the river path in life is a brave path indeed given the 'unpredictability' of Atlantic salmon and their total defiance of our timing keeping measurement tools. The ever changing ocean temperatures and Winter flood levels have always played a role in the returning abundance of the species making it an even bigger challenge for success on years where there's fewer fish about. On the river these days unchecked predation issues that once never existed have also hindered progress so the professional ghillie has a different set of issues to mentally overcome just the same as most other career paths will come with.
While it's currently easy to write off the 2018 season in it's entirety due to a poor Spring run where only big but fewer salmon showed up I'd still go cautiously on predictions for the Summer and Autumn months. The heart felt pain for the lack of general salmon action so far this year is nothing different from the hassle and head turmoil of a floundering personal relationship! My advice is to just get over it as salmon fishing is what it is and will likely take time to change due to the current zero juvenile stock output control and the accompanying lack of security required to effectively safeguard our salmon's 'known' migration routes to and from their feeding grounds.
While many anglers have developed a modern day life 'catch statistics' dependency by comparing everything to previous years it's all mostly certainly flawed for the following reasons. The average angling skill set level wouldn't necessarily capitalise on a pool packed full of fresh run 'takers' so that scenario would be unlikely to translate into a dozen salmon landed. In addition to that the general salmon landed to average fisher day ratio has never been much better than 15 to 1 even on the best fishing years. There have never been guarantees given in this business and good skill levels, persistency and a little bit of luck seem to have always been the winning formula!

Biden, Europeans take up Iran nuclear program in Rome talks
ROME, October 30, 2021 14:30 IST
October 30 meeting comes days after American officials blamed Iran for a drone attack on a remote U.S. outpost in Syria

As Iran's nuclear program makes troubling advances, President Joe Biden is set to huddle October 30 with European allies to talk through strategy as they press for a diplomatic resolution — and to plan for the possibility Iran declines to return to the negotiating table.
The meeting with the leaders of Germany, France, and Britain — known as the E3 — comes at a pivotal time, as Iran continues to enrich uranium to near-weapons-grade levels. President Biden is trying to revive the 2015 nuclear deal and bring Iran back into compliance with the pact that would have kept the Islamic republic at least one year away from the potential to field a nuclear weapon.
U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said the meeting with Germany's Angela Merkel, France's Emmanuel Macron, and Britain's Boris Johnson would feature the leaders "all singing from the same song sheet on this issue."
He called it a "study in contrast with the previous administration since Iran was one of the areas of most profound divergence between the previous administration and the Europeans."
The U.N.'s atomic watchdog has said Iran is increasingly in violation of the deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 nuclear deal and the U.S. has participated indirectly in talks aimed at bringing both Washington and Tehran back into compliance. Those Vienna talks have been on hiatus since June, when Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi took power.
Britain, France, Germany, Russia, China and the European Union remain part of the deal.
The meeting follows days after Ali Bagheri, Iran's deputy Foreign Minister and chief negotiator for the talks, tweeted that Iran has agreed to restart negotiations by the end of November and a date for a resumption of talks "would be announced in the course of the next week."
Mr. Sullivan said October 28 that the U.S. was still trying to determine whether Iran was serious about the negotiations.
"It's not entirely clear to me yet whether the Iranians are prepared to return to talks," he told reporters aboard Air Force One as President Biden flew to Rome for the Group of 20 summit. "We have heard positive signals that they are, but I think we have to wait and see when and whether they actually show up at the negotiating table."
Mr. Sullivan said the group would be sending "clear messages" to Iran that the window for negotiation "is not unlimited."
"We, of course, retain all other options to be able to deal with this program as necessary," he said.
October 30 meeting comes days after American officials blamed Iran for a drone attack on a remote U.S. outpost in Syria. Officials said on October 25 that the U.S. believes that Iran resourced and encouraged the attack, but that the drones were not launched from Iran.
No deaths or injuries were reported as a result of the attack.
In retaliation, the U.S. Treasury Department on October 25 announced new penalties against two senior members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and two affiliated companies for supplying lethal drones and related material to insurgent groups in Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen and Ethiopia.
The meeting comes on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Rome, the first stop on President Biden's five-day foreign trip that will also take him to a U.N. climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland.
U.S. officials said Mr. Biden also was to participate in a plenary session with other world leaders on the COVID-19 pandemic and economic recovery.
Mr. Biden was expected to push for progress toward his goal of establishing a global 15% corporate minimum tax, even as his domestic effort to raise the business rate to that figure was stuck in limbo in Washington.
He was also expected to discuss measures to ease a global energy supply crunch that has led to rising prices, imperiling the global economic recovery.

TU/e postdoc goes to MIT with Rubicon grant
Ivana Abramovic, postdoc of the department of Applied Physics, has received Rubicon funding: a form of financial support from the Dutch organisation for scientific research (NWO) for up-and-coming scientists who are going to conduct research abroad. Abramovic got the grant for her research into nuclear fusion as an energy source.

Abramovic, originally from Serbia, is currently conducting research in the Science and Technology of Nuclear Fusion research group at the department of Applied Physics. She is very happy with the grant for her proposal. "It even feels a bit surreal. Of course, when you write and submit a proposal you tell yourself that you will get it, but when you really do, it still feels like a surprise, followed by a rush of adrenalin: partly because it is difficult to get such a grant, but also because it is life-changing."

And we should take that literally: she has to move to use the Rubicon grant. It is intended to give promising young scientists the opportunity to gain international research experience. For many scientists, this experience abroad is an important step in their career. This funding makes it possible for the young researchers to conduct their research at top institutes like Stanford and Harvard. Abramovic will go to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States. There she will conduct research at the Plasma Science and Fusion Center for 24 months.
Originated over a plate of pasta
To get the award, she had to find a research group that does something new and interesting. That was not very difficult, she says, "because there is actually no project on fusion comparable to that of the research group at MIT. But then I still had to come up with a good research proposal that the group supports and I want to pursue as well. That was a bit more challenging, but I think the most important moment in the formulation of the proposal happened at Eindhoven central station. I brainstormed with my good friend and colleague Josefine over a pasta at Julia's before I went home. That's where the core of my research proposal originated."
The very short version of her proposal as stated in the NWO award list: 'MIT has designed a new reactor concept based on revolutionary superconducting magnets at a high temperature so that nuclear fusion can be used as an energy source. This research will focus on the effect of fuel turbulence in this reactor.'
For a layman, 'fusion as an energy source' is perhaps quite an abstract concept. So Cursor asked Abramovic: how would you explain your research to a ten-year-old? She was creative with her answer: "The first thing I would ask him/her is whether he/she knows Iron Man. If yes, explaining will be a lot easier and will probably go like this: do you know that blue device Tony Stark has on his chest and uses to power the Iron Man suit? Well, I'm working on that. This would of course be a very rough description, although the fusion device that I will be working on thanks to my Rubicon grant has the same name: ARC reactor. The name was, I guess, inspired partly by the Marvel comic, but it's about producing as much power as possible in the smallest possible device."
She is looking forward to her stay in Boston. "I always get an energy and motivation boost when I switch my work environment. Everything is new, has to be rediscovered and that means making new connections and getting creative ideas. My project is scheduled to start on September 1st. That is quite some time from now, so everything is still on schedule. But I do take into account some delay given the corona situation."
Is the Rubicon grant helping launch junior researchers?
The Dutch Research Council (NWO) offers junior researchers grants enabling them to spend one or two years pursuing their research abroad. But what is the impact on their careers? Nothing that's quantifiable, according to CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis – with no intention of sounding cynical.
24 talented scientists go abroad with Rubicon grant
Research financier the Dutch Research Council has awarded a Rubicon grant to 24 recently graduated PhD students. The winners will be able to use the funds to gain research experience abroad for a period of one to two years. None of the laureats is connected to the TU/e.
31 researchers receive Rubicon grant
It was a bit of a wait, but 31 newly minted PhDs have now been awarded a one or two-year Rubicon grant by the Dutch Research Council NWO to gain international experience in their field. TU/e, Wageningen University & Research and Tilburg University did not receive Rubicon grants this year.
Rubicons abroad under pressure
International exchanges for scientists are feeling the squeeze from the corona crisis. Specifically, from the international travel bans. This issue is giving rise to problematical situations, particularly for personal grants, like the Rubicon for newly qualified postdoctoral researchers. TU/e winners are equally affected. "Flexibility and resilience are very important qualities in these strange times."
Shaking hands with Nobel Prize winners
Two young TU/e physicists will be able to shake hands with forty Nobel Prize winners, not metaphorically, but literally during the annual Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting two months from now. PhD student Ivana Abramovic and master's student Vincent Debets were selected from 580 scientific talents (seven of whom are Dutch) from 88 countries to participate in the 69th edition of this meeting.


It been said that it matters because it sets the whole tone of your day. Most productivity experts, freelancers, online entrepreneurs and other solo workers who need to make each minute count agree with that idea. Among them, it's a bit of common wisdom. For me personally, I've always found this to be true! If I spend my first minutes burying myself in email and other people priorities, the rest of the day feels like I'm putting out fires.
This is something you should consider because by thinking about it, you can take control of it. What is the right way to get started? It can differ from one person to another, but here are some ideas gathered from the experts.
Wait about an hour before checking your email and deal with only communications that are work-related. Ignore personal emails for now or create a separate business email account if you don't already have one. Use that first hour to review your plans for the day that you set up the night before and take care of something that will give you a sense of accomplishment. Work on something you've been procrastinating or put in some time on a larger project that needs steady progress.
Save replies for later. When you check your email, you don't necessarily have to reply. Short replies are okay, but if you have a lengthy message you have to write, make this one of your daily tasks and prioritize accordingly.
It's probably best to stay off social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, even though those are communication channels. Since these can be distracting, it's better to create a separate social media time during your day.
It makes sense to create a list of things to do and prioritize this list first. But that's not always the best approach. You may find it easier to sit down at the end of each day and create the next day's list of things to do. This way, you can get started on your list of tasks first thing, rather than have to create it.
As you sit down to work, you may want to create a ritual that gets you into the zone to be productive. Some freelancers call this 'preparing for battle.' The goal is to get you into the mindset for work. You can do this through meditation, music, a review of your work goals, a review of yesterday's achievements or anything else you think would motivate you and get you into the proper mood. I keep Spotify open and will often listen to instrumental music that is relaxing and not distracting.
Give some thought to how you start your work day and ask yourself if there's anything you can do to make it smoother and more productive for you.

A States Yacht in a Fresh Breeze Running Towards a Group of Dutch Ships
Willem van de Velde II	(1633–1707)
Next artwork
Photo credit: National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London
This may record the assembling of some of the Dutch fleet off the Texel in 1672, the year that the artist and his father came to England to work. Lieutenant-Admiral Michiel de Ruyter put to sea in late April or early May and Cornelis de Witt, the Ruwaard of Putten, joined de Ruyter's ship as the States-General's representative of the with the fleet. To the left is a fishing pink with a six people on board and her square mainsail lowered. She flies a distinctive pendant at the masthead with red and yellow stripes, which may indicate the region of Vlieland and Terschelling. The prominence given to this pink with the unusual pendant may imply that it was being used to mark a shipping channel. De Ruyter was forced to order such boats to carry out this role because all the normal buoys and marks had been removed to form a hindrance to the English in case of invasion.
A bezan yacht can be seen beyond the pink and there is other shipping on the horizon on the left. A man-of-war, shown flying the Dutch flag, is firing a salute. In the right foreground is a sprit-rigged States yacht, probably the yacht of the States-General. Her foresail is lowered and she has a white ensign bearing a shield with the lion of the United Netherlands. This distinctive motif is repeated on the flag at the masthead, the longer-shaped flag at the peak and on the pendants. On her stern there is a shield bearing the lion of the United Provinces surrounded by arms and trophies, with naked figures on either side. Below the shield in a ribbon is the motto 'Vigilante Deo Confidentes', 'trusting in a vigilant God', inscribed in gold. The yacht is bathed in light and the brilliance of the sails forms a dramatic contrast to the grey clouds. There are figures on the deck attending to the foresail and a ship's barge lies alongside her port quarter. There are several sailors on board gesturing towards the yacht and a sailor in red is shown holding on to its side. The barge has two crests visible in the stern.

Spanish debaters shine
On the 21st of June, four King's Spanish debating teams travelled to Northcote College to compete in the New Zealand Secondary Schools' Spanish Debating Competition.
The Premier team, consisting of Charles Cave (Year 13, Selwyn, 1st speaker and Captain), Naixi Jiang (Year 13, Selwyn, 2nd speaker) and James Hancock (Year 13, Marsden, 3rd Speaker), achieved a remarkable 2nd Place.
In the first round, King's debated against the keen Kerikeri High school side. Affirming the moot "The government must restrict teacher strikes", James Hancock used his deep insight of economics to present a very strong argument as to why these restrictions should be put in place. This resulted in a considerable victory for King's.
The second round was much closer as we debated against Macleans 1, who had just returned from their language exchange in Argentina. Regardless, King's strongly debated the moot that "Electric scooters should only be allowed in parks", rather than other public areas such as sidewalks and roads. The Highlight of this debate goes to Naixi Jiang for his outstanding rebuttal and engagement with opposing material.
Due to our successes, King's had made the semi-final. Competing against Auckland Grammar made for a very challenging debate. The moot was "Schools must strictly offer only vegetarian foods" which King's affirmed. Due to the emotive nature of Spanish debating and the rivalry between the two schools, it was a very heated debate. With both teams being on form, it all came down to the wire. Charles Cave had a stellar leader's reply which scored 43 out of a possible 45, thus securing the win for King's.
After the victory over Auckland Grammar, King's had made the grand final. The moot was "Marijuana must be legalised" which Kings's affirmed. Unfortunately, King's lost to Rangitoto College. It was, once again, a very impressive performance and King's Language Department was extremely proud of their result.

Belmont Abbey College is a private, Catholic liberal arts college in Belmont, North Carolina. It was founded in 1876 by the Benedictine monks of Belmont Abbey. The school is affiliated with the Catholic Church and the Order of Saint Benedict. It is endorsed by The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College. Belmont Abbey is the only college in North Carolina affiliated with the Catholic Church.

Offering an undergraduate education, the college enrolls students from diverse ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds.

History

Belmont Abbey College was founded in 1876 as St. Mary's College by Benedictine monks from Saint Vincent Archabbey in Pennsylvania. Father Jeremiah O'Connell purchased Caldwell farm and donated the land to the Benedictines, hoping the community would found a Catholic educational institution in the Carolinas. On April 21, 1876, Father Herman Wolfe, from Saint Vincent, arrived with two students to take possession of the property and begin classes. In 1878, the college held its first commencement exercises. Katharine Drexel, a benefactor of the monastery and college, visited Belmont Abbey in 1904. The present name of the college was adopted in 1913.

In 1967 John Oetgen, college president and Benedictine priest, conferred an honorary degree on the Protestant evangelist Billy Graham, marking what was at the time seen as a bold ecumenical gesture.

Originally a college for young men, Belmont Abbey became a coeducational institution in 1972. In 1987, Sacred Heart College for women merged with the abbey, and its campus began to host a variety of abbey classes and programs.

The Belmont Abbey Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. It includes at its heart the separately listed Belmont Abbey Cathedral. Other contributing buildings include the Brothers' Building (1893, 1897, 1904), Old Science (1893), Jubilee Hall (1897), The Monastery (1880, 1891, and 1894), the College Building (or Stowe Hall, 1886, 1888, 1898), Saint Leo Hall (1907), and The Haid (1929).

Campus

Maurus Hall is centrally located on campus and houses a student lounge, grill, and the Holy Grounds coffee shop. Across from Maurus Hall is the Haid, which serves as a student and community theater. The Haid was originally built as a gymnasium. The Abbey Players now perform there.  Along Abbey Lane, towards the far end of the campus, are the Vincent Abbot Taylor Library and the William Gaston Science Hall. Administrative offices are located in Robert Stowe Hall, with classrooms on the second and third floors. St. Leo's Hall, built in the American Benedictine style, houses the Campus Book Store and Catholic Shop on the first floor. Professorial offices are located in St. Leo's Hall, and Grace Auditorium is located on the third floor.

The quad is located between the Poellath and O'Connell residence halls, both constructed in the early 1960s. Raphael Arthur Hall, constructed in 1967, offers students individual rooms and sits on the hill above Poellath, near Campus Police. The St. Joseph's Eucharistic Adoration Chapel, dedicated in 2008, is across from Campus Police. Wheeler Athletic Center, completed in 1970, is located behind Poellath Hall. At the back of the campus are the four Cuthbert Allen Apartment buildings, built in 1989. The newly renovated Student Commons, located next to the new cafeteria, houses the campus mailroom, snack machines, a lounge area, and Student Life offices. Behind the Student Commons are the St. Scholastica and St. Benedict residence halls. The Lourdes Grotto, an official pilgrimage shrine, is situated behind O'Connell Hall.

Mary Help of Christians Abbey Basilica

The Abbey Church, the most prominent building on the college's campus, was completed in 1894 under the supervision of Abbot Leo Haid. Drexel made significant donations to the completion of the structure, which served as North Carolina's first and only cathedral prior to the erection of the Diocese of Raleigh in 1924. The church is constructed in the gothic-revival style out of brick and granite, built in the shape of a Latin cross. The towers of the church, named Ora (the taller) and Labora (the smaller), can be seen from most of the college campus. The taller of the two towers holds bells which ring to signal the celebration of the Eucharist and the Liturgy of the Hours. The monastic community continues to hold daily services which are open to the student body and the public. Following the Second Vatican Council, the interior of the Abbey Church was renovated in a modernist style in order to facilitate the liturgical reforms of the era. In 1975, Belmont Abbey lost its territorial status and cathedral rank to the newly created Diocese of Charlotte. In 1998 Pope John Paul II named the Abbey Church a minor basilica in recognition of the historic and aesthetic significance of the structure.

Sacred Heart Campus
The Sisters of Mercy of Belmont reside at Sacred Heart Convent, in downtown Belmont. The convent is located on a campus made up of various organizations including Catherine's House, Holy Angels, and Mercy Heritage Center, archives for the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas. In 1892 the sisters began a finishing school for girls that eventually became a four-year degree institution, Sacred Heart College. Sacred Heart College closed in 1987, and a section of the Sacred Heart College is now rented by Belmont Abbey and called Sacred Heart Campus; classes are offered at Sacred Heart for both traditional and adult degree students. Belmont Abbey continues to offer alumnae services to graduates from Sacred Heart College.

St. Joseph Adoration Chapel

The Saint Joseph Adoration Chapel was dedicated on November 7, 2008. It marked the first building project under President Bill Thierfelder. Dr. Thierfelder wanted all that came to the Belmont Abbey College campus, that the college finds its center in Jesus Christ. During the Fall and Spring semesters, the chapel is open 24 hours a day for prayers and the Blessed Sacrament is exposed from 6:00am to 9:00pm.

Expansion
Plans were proposed by the president of the college in 2008 to construct a new residence hall on campus in order to facilitate increased enrollment. In the Fall of 2012, construction began on two new residence halls to open in the Fall of 2013.

In the Summer of 2011, construction began on a state-of-the-art integrated cafeteria. The construction was complete in time for the new cafeteria to open to the student body beginning in the Fall of 2012.

Academics

The abbey is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and approved by the American Medical Association. More than 80 percent of the faculty at Belmont Abbey hold doctoral degrees in their subjects. After completing a core curriculum, students declare a major and concentrate within their chosen areas of study.

The college's First Year Symposium, required for incoming freshmen, seeks to acclimate new students to college life. Taught by professors from various fields, this course explains the theories of a liberal education and introduces students to the Rule of St. Benedict and the Catholic intellectual tradition.

Athletics
The Belmont Abbey Crusaders participate in the NCAA's Division II program. The Crusaders are members of Conference Carolinas. Men's and women's lacrosse, women's golf. Men's and women's tennis and men's and women's track and field have been added for the 2009 season. Al McGuire coached Basketball for the Crusaders from 1957 to 1964. During his tenure the team had 5 post-season tournament appearances.
In 2009, the Crusaders Baseball team reached the NCAA Division II World Series, at the USA Baseball Training Complex located in Cary, North Carolina. The Crusaders were ranked 6th in their respective regional tournament and went on to win four straight against nationally ranked teams to capture their first regional championship. The Crusaders fell to eventual National Champions Lynn University after winning two in a row. The Crusaders finished the season ranked 3rd in the Nation.

In 2012, the women's volleyball, women's soccer, and men's basketball teams all won the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas title. In 2018, the men's lacrosse team won the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas title.

In 2021, the women's basketball, and men's basketball teams both won the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas titles.

As a member of Conference Carolinas, Belmont Abbey College competes annually for the league's Messick Award, which is presented for demonstrating the best overall sportsmanship over the entire conference schedule. As of 2019, Belmont Abbey Athletics has won the overall Messick Award four times: 2011–12, 2012–13, 2013–14 (tie) and 2016–17.

Student life

Organizations and Greek life
The Abbey has over 40 student organizations, an active Student Government Association, and many Greek organizations belonging to the college's Greek Council. Kappa Sigma is the only active fraternity on campus. Active sororities are Tau Kappa Delta and Alpha Sigma Pi, and also active is the community and collegiate service organization Epsilon Sigma Alpha.

Abbey Players

Belmont Abbey has a theatre department. The Abbey Players were founded in 1883, and have been a part of campus life ever since. At present, the theatre produces six shows a year, representing a wide repertoire of drama, comedy and musicals. Participation in the Abbey Players is open to any interested member of the college community; students, faculty, staff, and monks regularly appear together. In addition, it functions as the Belmont Community Theatre, which brings in theatre artists from the surrounding Metrolina area.

Glee Club
In 1940, the Belmont Abbey and Sacred Heart Glee Clubs toured the Carolinas and Georgia, appearing in Columbia, Charleston, Augusta, Greensboro, Raleigh, and Wilmington.

Dining
The campus cafeteria is located on the residential side of campus, next to the Walter Coggins Student Commons. Robert Lee Stowe Hall contains a grill and Holy Grounds coffee shop.

Housing
Incoming freshmen are required to live in either Poellath or O'Connell, two-story single-sex residence halls. Beginning in fall 2013, upperclassmen were given the option to live in the newly built Saint Benedict Hall and Saint Scholastica Hall, single-sex residence halls for males and females respectively. Raphael Arthur Hall provides single rooms. In addition to the five residence halls on campus, upperclassmen are eligible to live in either one of the four on-campus Cuthbert Allen apartment buildings or the Cloisters, off-campus apartments in nearby Mount Holly, North Carolina.

Controversies

Faculty health care coverage controversy

In 2007 the college's administration removed healthcare coverage for "abortion, contraception, and voluntary sterilization" after discovering that these were covered by the college's healthcare policy. Eight faculty members responded by filing complaints to the North Carolina Department of Insurance, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the National Women's Law Center. The latter threatened a lawsuit on behalf of the eight faculty members, several of whom were allegedly lifelong Catholics.

After the student newspaper, The Crusader, published an article in May 2008 pointing out that the abbey profits from the sale of contraceptives at two convenience stores that lease land from the abbey, the Abbot responded by stating that: ""[They] are preponderantly good operations, i.e. 99 percent or more of their business is not problematic, and the employment generation and economic stimulation they provide for the community of Belmont are worth tolerating a small amount of evil. The abbey is not willing to lease to them because they sell contraceptives, but despite it."

Lawsuit against the Obama administration
According to a November 11, 2011 online news story by Patricia L. Guilfoyle of Catholic News Service, "Belmont Abbey College is suing the federal government over a new regulation that requires employer health insurance plans to provide free coverage of contraceptives and sterilization, even if it may be contrary to their religious beliefs."

Objection to a local no-kill shelter
According to a June 20, 2013 online news story by the Associated Press, Belmont Abbey College objected to the rezoning of a nearby 6-acre piece of land that would have been used for a no-kill shelter.

LGBT anti-discrimination
In 2016, the college, along with other religious colleges and universities throughout the United States, came under increasing criticism from LGBT activists for refusing to implement anti-discrimination policies on behalf of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students. Belmont Abbey College argued that its status as a primarily Catholic institution was in conflict with these anti-discrimination policies. In a statement, the college claimed that such policies would "abdicate the responsibility of the college community as a whole to act in accord with its fundamental identity as a community which publicly identifies itself as in communion with the Catholic Church."

Q: How to show that $2^n > n$ without induction I'm solving exercises about Pascal's triangle and Binomial theorem, and this problem showed up, however I don't have any clue on how to solve it
The sum of ${n\choose p}$ from $p=0$ to $n$ is the same thing as $(1+1)^n=2^n$, how can I use this information?
Maybe comparing with another summation that equals to n?

A: Use Bernoulii inequality, which is true for all $x>-1$: $$ (1+x)^n\geq 1+nx$$ so $$(1+1)^n \geq 1+n\cdot 1 >n$$

A:
Maybe comparing with another summation that equals to $n$?

For any $p=0,1,\dots,n$, there is at least one way to choose $p$ things from a list of $n$ things. Thus $\binom{n}{p} \ge 1$, so
$$ 2^n = \sum_{p=0}^n \binom{n}{p} ≥ \sum_{p=0}^n 1 = n+1 > n.$$

A: The Binomial Theorem says
$$
\begin{align}
2^n
&=(1+1)^n\\
&=\binom{n}{0}1^0+\binom{n}{1}1^1+\dots\\
&\ge1+n\\[9pt]
&\gt n
\end{align}
$$

A: Note that $2^n$ is the number of subsets of $[n]=\{1,\dotsc,n\}$. There are $n$ subsets of $[n]$ with size $1$. There is at least one subset of $[n]$ which is not a singleton (namely the empty set). Hence
$$
2^n>n
$$
for $n\geq 1$.

A: hint
Consider $x\mapsto \frac{\ln(x)}{x}$ for $x\ge 1$.
$$f'(x)=\frac{1-\ln(x)}{x^2}$$
the maximum if $f(e)=\frac{1}{2}<\ln(2)$.
thus
$$\ln(x)<x\ln(2)$$

Don't let a bad speaker limit your enjoyment of your mobile device! Get help from Mobile Fixerz.
Whether you're trying to have a conversation on your cell phone or watch a video on your tablet, you obviously need quality audio. If your speakers are acting up, even the most basic activities can become extremely difficult. You might find yourself asking "What???" every three seconds as the internal speaker in your cell phone cuts in and out or struggling to hear audio coming out of the external speaker. Don't just resign yourself to using your headphones for every activity from here on out. Instead, call Mobile Fixerz for expert help.
In many cases, replacing the speaker in your phone or tablet is a quick and easy job that anyone can do. However, there are significant advantages to calling the pros rather than attempting the repair yourself. First of all, speaker replacement does require special tools. At Mobile Fixerz, we already have these tools and our technicians are fully certified in their use. Secondly, it can be tricky to figure out the exact model of speaker you need and then source it from a quality supplier. At Mobile Fixerz, our techs are intimately familiar with all kinds of mobile device speakers. We already have an extensive selection on hand, so you don't have to worry about shipping delays. Our prices are very affordable, and we believe that the peace of mind that comes from knowing a professional is working on your valuable mobile device is well worth the increased cost of a professional versus a DIY repair.
In rare cases, speaker problems are a software issue, not a hardware issue. You can rely on Mobile Fixerz to help you tell the difference and recommend the appropriate repair service for your needs. Call now to set up your appointment, and we'll have a skilled tech at your home or business right away.
