Brief Chat: Lawi Lalang, Arizona's Phenom

University of Arizona sophomore Lawi Lalang ran the fastest U.S. collegiate indoor 5000 meters ever when he clocked 13:08.28 behind
American Bernard Lagat's national record 13:07.15 at the Millrose Games in New York's Armory Track and Field Center on Saturday. Lalang's fellow Kenyan and Arizona teammate Stephen Sambu was third in 13:13.74, also under the previous record of 13:18.12 set in 2009 by Olympian Galen Rupp, then of the University of Oregon.
Lalang is the younger brother of Kenyan 800-meter World Indoor silver medalist Boaz Lalang. Lawi Lalang took the 2011 NCAA Cross Country Championships title ahead of Stanford's Chris Derrick and Iona's Leonard Korir, both seniors, who also placed fifth and fourth respectively in the Millrose 5000. Lalang ran 3:55.09 for the mile two weeks before Millrose, and 7:55.05 for 3000 meters indoors a year ago. He is coached by James Li, who is Lagat's longtime coach.
Tell me about this 5000 meter race. Lawi Lalang: The race was run the way we wanted. We came with an aim of breaking the collegiate record, which we did, and we are very proud of it. It was about the main aim, and the main aim was to run a PR. This is my first time doing (the 5000) indoors. I didn't do it last year.
You said you're thinking of running at the Kenyan Olympic Trials. LL: I'm going for the 5k. I think I'm ready. … I'll go there before the Trials. This will be my first time.
What is your best time for 5000 meters outdoors? What do you feel you can run, based on your indoor time? LL: Oh, this is a big PR. I ran 13:30, so it's really a big PR. I think, probably, I'll do something like 12:50-something … With some training, I think I can do that.
Tonight (Saturday), you were running very close to Lagat and you looked very comfortable, but with about one and a half laps to go, you looked like you were working very hard. Tell me how you were feeling during the race. LL: Towards the end, I was getting like, "When is this race getting done?..." Oh, my God, I was feeling it! But I knew everybody's feeling it, so I was, "Let me push because I know I can make the record."
This is your first collegiate record, right? How does it feel? LL: This is my first one. Actually great, you know? But I'm still going for some more …. I'm actually going for another one. Probably, it depends on how these guys run the mile. If they don't break it, then I'll go for it because I ran 3:55.09 and the record is 3:55.02. And I was pushing a lot, so probably, I'll get somebody to push me, and I think I'll get that one (Actually, BYU's Miles Batty ran 3:54.54 later that evening in that same Millrose meet).
When are you thinking of doing that? LL: I'll run in the next two weeks, so probably, I'll try to relax this week. Or if I get a good race this weekend, I might go for the 3k because I haven't run 3k this season.
Update on 2/14/11: What have you decided about your upcoming races, including the 1500 collegiate record? LL: I have changed my plans right now; I'm not going for that. I just want to run 3k to make the NCAA qualification mark… and just to change my time for the indoor 3k, because right now, it's 7:55 and I'm feeling better than that so I just want to go and do something there. I've got a time right now in the mile and 5k, but I don't have one for the 3k. I'll do it in the conference, in Seattle. It will be next weekend -- not this one, but the one after that (the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships in Seattle February 24 and 25). I'm not running this weekend.
How long have you lived in the U.S.? LL: This is my first year. I just finished one year.
Where were you in Kenya? LL: I was in Eldoret. I went to Emining high school. That's in a place called Eldama Ravine, near Nakuru.
How did you begin running? LL: We used to run when we were young. We saw people running on the television. I was with my elder brother and we used to just run, and then when I was in fifth grade, I just left running and I started again when I was in my second year in my high school. That's when I started becoming serious, when my brother got a scholarship in the U.S. I thought I might have a chance of getting there. He (Boaz) started in his first year in high school and he started performing well in Kenya. He was running very well nationwide in high school, but I didn't run well in high school, but I knew I would be good, you know?
In the end, he came to run in college. He inspired me. He was in a different school in Eldama Ravine. I didn't run much in high school because actually, the school I went, they weren't encouraging running much because they said, "You have identified you can run. The only thing you have to do right now is study. You can run later." Actually, it has helped me because if I didn't do well there, I couldn't be in Arizona.
How did you end up coming here? LL: My brother, he was recruited by the same coach who is coaching me right now. His coach came to watch me running, and then he recruited me.
How much did you know about Bernard Lagat then? LL: I was like, "Oh! This is Bernard Lagat's coach?! This is an opportunity I'll never let go." In fact, when the coach came to Kenya, I didn't run so good. I did a 1500 and I ran slow because I hadn't trained because I was just in high school so I didn't have any training. I think he looked at my strategy, at the way I was running, and then after that, he gave me some time trials and then I did terribly good. And that's the time he was like, "okay, I'll take you."
Do you remember what you ran in those time trials? LL: With the 1500, I ran something like 3:58 and then after that, he came and gave me some 2ks and that's where I did well.
When you were training for this Millrose race, what was your training like the last two weeks? LL: We were training with Lagat, so whatever work came up, we did that. At first we were doing some 700s and then we had some 1000s, some 500s, it depends. It was really fast because I remember we did something like 1 ½ miles, which we did in something like 6:41, and then we did some miles, which we did in something like 4:20.
Do you train together all the time? If not, who do you train with all the time? LL: Not all the time. We are supposed to train with Sambu all the time, Stephen Sambu. Not every session, because he does 10k and I don't do 10k. So I usually train with the middle distance and sometimes I come to the distance. There are people like Boaz Lalang, my brother. When I need some speed, I go and train with them sometimes. He is based in Arizona, but he's in Europe right now racing. He's still trained by Coach Li. I train with people like Abdi Hassan. Sometimes we go for long runs with Abdi Abdirahman.
How often have you trained with Bernard Lagat so far this season? LL: Right now, he's going to Europe. I think we have been training together a lot because Coach Li has wanted us to train together because actually, he knew I was strong and he wanted to make me stronger and get me prepared. We usually do maybe two to three times (a week) because we usually go for the workouts together but sometimes there are these other guys too, like Luis (Juan Luis Barrios).
Even athletes who don't know Lagat as closely as you do have great things to say about how encouraging he is. Tell me about that from your perspective. LL: For me to do whatever I'm doing right now, he is encouraging. Because for me to do a record like this, (sub) 13:10 indoors, I was like, "What is that?! 13:10 is -- I can't even believe that I can do it." But when he believed in me, he started telling me, "Oh, man, you are even better. You are in better shape than that …" So really, he has been encouraging me. It made a lot of difference.
Are there any other athletes in the family, besides Boaz? LL: My younger brother is running, my older sister is running, but they haven't come out here yet, but I know one day they will be. My sister is Doris Tanui and my younger brother is Vincent Lalang. I think he's turning 17.
What do you think your chances are of making the Kenyan Olympic team? LL: I think I have a good chance. I just need to do some work because I know those guys will be running 12s (ie, under 13:00 for the 5000) and I think I'm ready for it. I'll continue doing what I did today. I did my best.
Tell me about the NCAA Cross Country Championships, where you won. LL: Before I went to that Cross Country Championship, I had run with most of those guys, so I was confident I could beat most of them. There was just one guy I had not raced with, an Iona guy (Leonard Korir). He finished third, and he was fourth in Millrose. So I was really confident that I had that chance to win that championship. I said "okay, I want to just start slowly and I'll pick it up something like 4k," and that's what I did. It felt great, you know, my first cross country, and just getting that title. It gave me a lot of confidence so even right now, when I am racing these big races, I have confidence.
You've run well in cross country, and indoors and outdoors on the track in distances from the mile to the 5000. What is your favorite event? LL: I think right now, I can just say that I want to work on the middle distances -- the mile, 1500 -- because I still want to make my race to be somehow faster. For the last lap of something like 5000, I need to be fast, so I will still need to work on 1500, but my race will be 5000. But I still want to work on the short distances.

This is a private page meant for sharing information for potential podcast interviewees.
one solo episode per month, going deep into historical and scriptural issues, ie one on Polygamy, one on Book of Abraham, etc.
The tone of these episodes is to empathize with the seeker who has read this stuff and could no longer believe. My approach is not to sway them to preserve faith in the dominant narrative-literal paradigm, but to essentially concede "Anti-Mormon" facts, but to maintain belief in the value and goodness of the Church likely through a different paradigm.
Model the nuanced Mormon path. It's very hidden and inaccessible to most people in faith crisis mode.
Show that this "Middle Way" can be a destination not a temporary spot while you gain the courage or wait for other loved ones to join you to your ultimate destination: out of the church.
Hoping for people in relative mature spot in regards to faith transition. No one knows what the future holds. But it would be a bummer if I do 10 of these episodes and then we look back five years from now and 8 of them have left the church. So I'm looking for people who feel like they've been through it all, and are relatively stable and see themselves in the church long term.
I'm not against those who feel strongly about causes such as LGBT+ issues, female equality, Protect LDS Children movement, etc. But, that is outside the current scope of my project. I will be raising visibility to these issues, but I won't be an activist, and I don't want to bring in people for the "Why I Stay" episodes who are known as being activists and that won't be the focus of the interview. We may branch out into "Why I Stay" episodes that focus on the pain that LGBT+ issues cause, for example, but for now, the focus is on faith crisis related to historical issues.
My podcast will appeal to those that have deeply deconstructed their LDS testimonies. Typical views would be not believing in BOM historicity, not believing in actual, ancient gold plates, not believing polygamy was ordained of God (at least how it was implemented), belief that the First Vision likely happened differently than the way we teach it, not believing in LDS exclusivity, understanding material on Old Testament and New Testament historical criticism, possibly non-traditional views of Jesus Christ (though this might be a bit taboo even for this podcast), possibly even atheistic views or very non-traditional views on God. I'm looking for people who, if not completely deconstructed/reconstructed in the same manner, are at least close enough to fit the audience. Also, I'm expecting the interviewee will be very specific about their beliefs. A big void as I see it that I am seeking to fill, is that nuanced LDS are afraid or not interested in speaking directly about these beliefs. So they remain hidden and inaccessible to faith crisis seekers. We want to be open and model these views are possible. I don't want to talk theory. I want to talk actual experience.
There are various issues that people traveling this path encounter. Authenticity. Temple Recommend. What/how to teach kids. Aggressive members or leaders that don't like their views. Leadership roulette. How to teach a lesson or give a talk and be true to yourself without causing faith problems for others. What to do during a lesson when the teacher or comments are teaching obviously incorrect historical issues or scriptural interpretations. What about a spouse who doesn't see it like you. How you deal with progressive issues like LGBT+, female equality, that you see as harmful to others. What things might give us reason to consider leaving. Those kinds of issues. We will talk through those things.
Most of all, hopefully you will have a very strong testimony of what is good, true, and beautiful about the Mormon church and your Mormon experience. And can share those things.
I have a sample Episode 1 ready (solo version not a Why I Stay interview). It's really rough and not ready for the public, but if you'd like to get a flavor of the tone, I'll give you a link.

Sully is accused of killing a fellow cop when a routine visit goes badly wrong. Guy steps in to help his friend when Sully's story of self defense is not supported by the evidence.
The first case Guy ever worked on gets reopened when the victim's body is found. The daughter of the man convicted of the crime asks Guy to help her clear her father's name, but Guy is frustrated when the evidence continues to point in the same direction.
As Guy puts it, "All of our suspects are dying." The killer continues to strike, but a suicide seems to close the case. It's up to Guy to identify the real killer, using a mobile fax machine.
When a bullet narrowly misses Guy as he is returning home from a photo session for lottery winners, he is plunged into an investigation that involves other lottery winners and a murdered man's obsession with UFOs. He soon fears that he may be the murderer's next target.

Bust Magazine's Story Of Rising From The Ashes After Shutting Down 16 Years Ago
Julie Sygiel
I interview female founders to share their stories and advice.
now celebrities are afraid to say they are not feminists because of the backlash.
Coffee With The Founders Of Bust Magazine: Debbie Stoller And Laurie Henzel
"Coffee With…" is an ongoing series that features stories and advice from female founders. The interviews are conversations we actually had over lattes and are edited for length and clarity.
Coffee With Debbie Stoller and Laurie Henzel, cofounders of Bust Magazine (Photo courtesy of Julie... [+] Sygiel)
For the first seven years after creating Bust Magazine in 1993, cofounders Debbie Stoller, Laurie Henzel and Marcelle Karp worked on it as a side hustle. Now the leading independent, feminist publication on newsstands boasting more than 300,000 readers, Bust has a storied history. Read on below to hear what happened when the cofounders sold the business in 2000 and then bought it back a year later.
With a PhD from Yale, where she wrote her thesis on how media influences women, Stoller is Editor-In-Chief and Co-Publisher, while Henzel is the Creative Director and Co-Publisher. They publish bimonthly with a staff of six full-time and two part-time members. They've never taken investment funding and are debt-free, two facts that the cofounders say are a "mixed bag." With print magazines struggling to survive, the duo has diversified revenue streams by adding in-person fairs called "Craftaculars." These events feature mostly women-owned businesses as vendors and are a destination for readers who might want to shop or check out the DIY flower crown station as featured at last month's Brooklyn Craftacular.
I met up with the cofounders at La Defense cafe in Brooklyn on a Friday afternoon where we discussed Bust's complicated history over lattes and beer.
Two recent issues of Bust (Photo courtesy of Julie Sygiel)
Julie Sygiel: You always have amazing women on the cover of Bust.
Laurie Henzel: Luckily for us people like what the magazine stands for, and even if they are super famous and don't need to do a Bust cover, they will often do it. Tina Fey, for example. We try to go with women who we feel are breaking through a stereotype about women, who are doing something that we think is important. But in the very beginning we didn't even have people on the cover. It was just art or drawings. The first issue was xeroxed and stapled.
Sygiel: How did you go from that to a bound magazine?
Debbie Stoller: There were little zine stores that said you can't really sell this thing that is xeroxed and stapled, you have to make it better than this. So then we actually put some of our own money in, a couple hundred bucks from each of us, and got the next one printed on newsprint. Every issue improved just a little bit. It took seven years before we got to anything that looked like what we have now.

Sygiel: How did you get the visibility and subscriber base that you have now?
Stoller: For the first seven years, were just doing this on our own dime as a part-time job and it was very difficult because we had full-time jobs. But then in 2000 we sold the company to RSub, a subdivision of Razorfish Studios, so we could give up our jobs and work full-time on Bust. They were going to take care of all the publishing stuff because we kept thinking we don't know how to do that, we just know how to make the content. We hired people and got an office. It was great. They put some money into growing the audience with distributors so that was a big boost. Unfortunately, the next year Razorfish got into financial trouble and decided that we were going to on a hiatus for a bit while they looked for investors.
Around that same time a New York Times reporter actually interviewed us about how we were going to take over the world with our feminist magazine. It was very exciting. We were on the front page of the business section with a picture of Laurie and me in our office. Phones were ringing off the hook and it looked like the answer to the financial problems. The date was September 10th, 2001, and then the next day was the next day, so all the attention and potential advertisers disappeared overnight.
Henzel: After 9/11, RSub folded and it looked like it was over for us. Debbie and I started all the way back at zero. We were able to buy the name back a few months later in December 2001.
Stoller: We bought the name back for about the price of a fancy computer system, but along with it came about 30,000 subscribers who had paid money to receive issues. So we started out in debt to those subscribers.
Sygiel: Wow, so you bought the name back and you were now expected to ship magazines out for free.
Henzel: Yes, and we had no money and no jobs. A couple of interns helped us and we sent emails to all of our subscribers saying, "Hey this happened and we want to come back from it."
Stoller: The most amazing thing was even before we contacted subscribers, people were writing to us saying, "We heard you've gone out of business — what can we do to help, we want new issues."
Quote by Debbie Stoller (Image courtesy of Julie Sygiel)
Henzel: We also had a big benefit party in Tribeca and we asked a couple of bands that we knew to play including the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The concert raised about $20,000. And that was enough to print the next issue and get back on our feet again. That was with the "Fight Like A Girl" issue.
Stoller: One of my favorite issues ever. It took awhile before we were able to start to pay ourselves again. We hired someone to sell ads for us and it turned out we did know a bit more about publishing than we thought so we were able to make it work.
Sygiel: I remember being at Bust's 20th birthday bash a few years ago in Brooklyn. There were so many influential women there—Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer from "Broad City" and Gloria Steinem and Kathleen Hanna.
Henzel: That party was a big highlight for me. When Gloria was saying nice stuff about us on stage, I was freaking out. We never thought we'd make it to 20 years. I can't believe we still get to do this every day.
Stoller: We've explored a lot of topics over the years, and I really like that we've never been afraid to print stories that run counter to the dominant narrative. The "Fight Like A Girl" issue had a story about terrorist women in Sri Lanka and another about women who joined the army after September 11th. At that time a lot of people were saying that it's men who cause wars and if only women ran the world, it would be different, but I felt like we had to fight to bring the magazine back and it wasn't true that women would necessarily handle 9/11 any differently. I'm always interested in shaking things up a little bit.

Sygiel: How has Bust managed to survive more than two decades even through the decline of print publishing?
Stoller: We're really scrappy. There are always ways to spend less. Ten years ago people were charging companies insane prices to make html static websites. We learned a bit of coding and we made our website ourselves. Then when iPads came out, magazines were paying $5000 an issue to create digital editions and we found a way to do it ourselves for $70 an issue. The easier way is always going to be more expensive so it's always worth researching to see if you can do it yourself. If we hadn't been like that, I don't think we would still be around.
Sygiel: How have your goals changed over the years as society's definition and acceptance of feminism has changed?
Stoller: For me they haven't really changed. When we started, magazines were really distorting what women thought was possible for themselves and we wanted to make an antidote to that. Something that women felt good about reading but that wasn't full of positive role models because that can be just as stifling as super models. We wanted to publish diverse experiences, stories, not all writing about feminism per se but being informed by feminism to create something about women that was not so stereotypical.
I think what's remarkable is that in the beginning it was hard for people to understand this vision of feminism, to get that feminism could be smart and funny. We found a few people who got it like Margaret Cho and Janeane Garofalo but they were few and far between. And now! There's a pop culture out there that we hoped to see but is beyond my wildest dreams with Samantha Bee and the Broad City girls and Amy Schumer and Tina Fey and Amy Pohler and Jessica Williams and Lena Dunham.

Henzel: And yet there's still so much backlash on it, don't you think? The struggle is still there. It's not been solved.
Stoller: No, we still have sexism, but I know from the numbers that millennial women are much more likely to call themselves feminists than older generations. We used to ask every single celebrity that we interviewed if they were a feminist. Nobody else was doing that. A lot of them seemed to be afraid to say yes because they were afraid they would get backlash. And today everybody asks celebrities if they are feminists, and now celebrities are afraid to say they are not feminists because of the backlash.
Henzel: I am going to put this out there that I think we can take credit for a lot of that.
Stoller: A lot of the writers at these other publications have come through "Bust University." They were interns or staff with us for a long time and then moved on to other women's magazines where they continue to carry the message.
Sygiel: So what's next for Bust?
Henzel: Pretty soon it'll be 25 years so we should start planning that party.

In 2001, the Census Bureau began planning and seeking support for a new headquarters building in Suitland, MD. The Suitland Federal Center headquarters located in Federal Office Building 3 (FOB-3), opened in 1942 and was showing its age. Leaking pipes and fan coils flooded hallways and offices.
Initially, the agency sought a single 800,000 square foot building with space for about half of the Census Bureau's employees. During the second phase another building would be constructed to house the remaining Census Bureau employees. Alternatively, the General Services Administration (GSA), which owns and leases all federal buildings, supported renovating FOB-3 during the second phase of construction.

By 2002, the Census Bureau's amended construction plans received congressional and GSA support. The amended plans called for a single new headquarters building that would house all of the agency's Suitland-based employees. No longer needing FOB-3, the GSA slated it and several other buildings on the Suitland Federal Center campus for demolition. The Census Bureau held a groundbreaking ceremony for the new building on September 16, 2003.

The Census Bureau's new headquarters building officially opened on August 7, 2006, when employees of the Geography Division, who had worked at a satellite facility in nearby Forestville, MD, moved into their office space. At that time, only half of the building was completed. As construction continued, more Census Bureau employees moved into their new office spaces on a weekly basis until April 2007.
The Census Bureau's new headquarters is a state-of-the-art workplace whose elegant and efficient design has received widespread praise. The building has won the GSA Design Excellence Award and has achieved a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design silver rating.

Exciting times for the Football Development Program at EMS, with two of our students receiving trials in professional clubs, while the Year 8 side reached the School's Cup Final with a 6-2 Victory last week.
The final will be played Hartlepool's Victoria Park later this year and means the School will now be represented in three Cup finals, with our Year 7 team qualifying for two more in recent weeks.
Theo Naylor has been invited into Sunderland AFC, while teammate Harry Carr is currently on trial with Hartlepool, both for a period of 8 weeks.
Coaches Stuart Brand and Colin Larkin have been extremely impressed with the pair and the group as a whole, with the former saying: "I'm delighted for Theo and Harry as both have been working really hard in training and showing fantastic signs of development throughout the season.
"But it's not just those lads, but the entire group as well. All the players across the age categories have trained really well recently and done so with a great attitude.
Congratulations to Theo, Harry and all the players from everyone here EMS – Keep up the good work.

First Impression Forza Horizon 5 - The Best Open World Racing Game 2022
By Sung Jin-Woo February 22, 2022
The racing genre has experienced increasingly rapid development of evolution. From the focus only on races and the fastest, now has a broad scope to be able to manage or review the vehicle you are wearing until finally, it can successfully give players a fan of racing games an aspect called "freedom".
So, this freedom was later trying to be highlighted. Where to infect racing games with the Open World Formula is not an idea included just a day. Whether it's from the Need For Speed series, Midnight Club, unlimited test drive, to The Crew, now the Forza Horizon series is actually in the right momentum to shine. A new series that continued the success of the fourth series had arrived on November 4, 2021.
Jump with the title Forza Horizon 5, I lately the middle of trying to try this game and incidentally, totally unable to cover that there was a feeling to continue to play the game.
Navigate the beauty of the city of Mexico!
It starts first in estimating the overview of the open-world world presented in this game. This time Forza Horizon 5 wants to invite you to stop at one of the big countries in North America, namely Mexico.
Not only was splashed on a scale of 50% wider than the previous series, but the Mexican Map environment in Forza Horizon 5 was also really made more varied. Like the aspect of the advantages in the Open World Map in the FH 3 series which I like the area of the natural scenery and the FH 4 which I enjoyed their urban designs was equally presented in this FH 5 series.
Specifically, Forza Horizon 5 brings a variety of stunning natural beauty which feels very ambitious to describe the authenticity of the Mexican state. The number of various biomes ranges from the jungle area of the jungle with hidden temples, coastal areas filled with coconut trees, wilderness, to volcanic mountains you can find here. Then not to mention discussion about the uniqueness of the main city (Guanajuato) containing buildings with classical architecture, and narrow streets plus tunnels that can be very so challenging to pass.
Not only at that, but Forza Horizon 5 also presents features of the season which is now more dynamic in influencing the row of biome areas, which will be added to the existence of new types of weather such as a sandstorm that looks very wow.
Already the folder is broad, the content is more and more
If Forza Horizon 4 has been considered successful providing a large variety of content to be reviewed one by one, Forza Horizon 5 itself is arguably it has been directly trying to continue the relay. Almost all types of content both from the beginning of release and post releases in the Horizon series were previously raised back here. For example, such as Battle Royale (Eliminator) and Photo Challenge just appeared sometime when Forza Horizon 4 was released.
On the one hand, Forza Horizon 5 also keeps inserting many fresh modes such as crashing on a pinata statue in Arcade fashion style Live content challenges from the Horizon Story mode which is now increasingly reproduced, until the expedition mode is focused on introducing the beauty of the Map of the Open World Map.
Not to mention if you want to enjoy multiplayer content work on weekly / monthly event content from the Playlist Festival to get a very so-rewarding thing. As though will make you almost always feel busy and without limits to navigate all existing content.
Then the sensation to drive was also trying to be increasingly perfected. Especially in answering the sound quality of the engine which has been the only big drawback in the Forza Horizon series 4. Plus also with the side of the realism of the smoke effect of the car's exhaust that is quite realistic.
Customization features are full of choice and convenience
In total, the basic version of this game has directly presented more than 500 cars that you can choose from various types of ranging from sports, rally, offroad, to antique and classic cars. Through periodic updates at each, the amount can be increasingly swollen and each of which can certainly be customized in terms of performance and display.
If you feel lazy to modify the vehicle manually, this game still provides you the choice to browse the look of the livery/vinyl or tuning from the other players, then choose one that is felt effectively based on the number of popularity and total downloads used.
In fact, not only in terms of car customization, but you can also go through the event lab mode to customize or mix race track content and trial versions of your creations, which again can be touched at will.
Optimization that turns out "pretty"
On the PC platform, Forza Horizon 5 must be recognized as a game that is on paper and the field is indeed heavier than Forza Horizon 4. Even so, the gap itself is not too far away. I played this game in hardware which seems to begin to be at low-end levels, namely GTX 1060 3GB GPU, I7 7700HQ CPU, and 16 GB RAM which turned out to still run smoothly even though it must be tweaked with certain graphic settings.
From the hardware, there is indeed a lack of constraint on the performance of the poor I have to experience. Especially when FPS often falls from 60 (V-Sync On Mode) to the 50s when it encountered a lot of texture in the urban area of Guanajuato, several location points of the Horizon Festival, plus also when meeting the many cars from NPC and fellow players in the screen. Then, there was also a bug from the emergence of warning "low streaming bandwidth" which I specifically found when playing in Guanajuato expedition mode.
For the note, if you have hardware that is a little far below the GTX 1060, suggestions that you might try to play this game with better FPS is to take advantage of resolution scaling settings and reduce the quality level of Shadow Plus Shader.
Apart from that, Forza Horizon 5 is still classified as forgiving for non-raytracing hardware users. Especially for Nvidia's GPU in Series 10, 9, to maybe GTX 780. This game surprisingly has optimization which is truly far from the disappointing word for the size of the AAA game output 2021.
Calling it the best open-world racing game today I think it doesn't include excessive claims. Fix many shortcomings that existed in the previous series, this game comes with half a thousand car catalogs, dozens of play modes + extensive content, and depiction of the location settings that are very right on the immersive target. So from there, the Forza Horizon 5 series wants to be used as an extraordinary form of evolution in the world of automotive games.
It is about the impression that I can personally from Forza Horizon 5. Overall, this game is full Price is very appropriate to buy if you are a fan of racing games and simulations. In addition, the Xbox Game Pass service appears as a bonus option that is quite perfect if you are having a limited-budget wallet.


BIO Ultrasound imaging. A typical ultrasound transducer used f0r medical diagnosis produces a beam of ultrasound with a frequency of 1 Q MHz. The beam travels from the transducer through tissue and partially reflects when it encounters different structures in the tissue. The same transducer that produces the ultrasound also detects reflections. The transducer emits a short pulse of ultrasound and waits to receive the reflected echoes before emitting the next pulse. By measuring the time between the initial pulse and the arrival of the reflected signal, technicians use the speed of ultrasound in tissue, 1540 m/s, to determine the distance from the transducer to the structure that produced the reflection As the ultrasound beam passes through tissue, the beam is attenuated through absorption. Thus, deeper structures return weaker echoes A typical attenuation in tissue is —100 dB/m • MHz; in bone it is -500 dB/m • MHz. In the determination of attenuation, the reference intensity is taken to be the intensity produced by the transducer.
If the deepest structure you wish to image is 10.0 cm from the transducer, what is the maximum number of pulses per second that can be emitted?
By the above calculations the maximum number of pulses emitted per second is .
So, options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect.

Danny Needham (Saint Paul, 20 de maio de 1867 - Saint Peter, 12 de setembro de 1922) foi um pugilista americano.

Biografia
Notável por sua incrível resistência física, Danny Needham não era um adversário fácil de ser vencido pelo cansaço. Participou de lutas memoráveis, incluindo um duelo de 76 assaltos contra Tommy Ryan, além de uma luta de 100 assaltos contra Patsy Kerrigan.

Needham começou a boxear em 1886, aos 19 anos, e rapidamente começou a se impor entre os pesos-leves, nas arenas de Saint Paul. Após dois anos de carreira, portanto em 1888, Needham foi até Minneapolis disputar o título de campeão americano dos pesos-leves contra Billy Myer.

A luta entre Needham e Myer durou 20 assaltos, após os quais foi decretada a vitória de Myer pelo árbitro do combate. Esse resultado foi considerado extremamente controvertido, haja vista que Myer se encontrava bem machucado ao término da luta, ao passo que Needham quase não apresentava sinais de lesões.

Needham recuperou-se deste revés, aplicando nocautes rápidos nas suas três lutas seguintes. Então, uma nova luta de 20 assaltos tornou a se repetir na carreira de Needham. Seu adversário, Harry Gilmore, terminou nocauteado no último assalto.

Encontrando dificuldades para manter seu peso entre os leves, Needham decidiu subir para a categoria dos meios-médios, tendo feito sua estreia nessa nova categoria de peso em 1890, numa épica luta contra Patsy Kerrigan.

A luta entre Needham e Kerrigan durou impressionantes 100 assaltos, em quase sete horas de luta, no que acabou se transformando na segunda luta mais longa da história do boxe. Apesar de extenuados, ambos os lutadores se recusavam a desistir. O árbitro, porém, vendo que não havia mais condições de dar prosseguimento ao combate, tomou a atitute de por um fim à luta depois do encerramento do seu centésimo assalto. O resultado final foi um empate.

Após essa verdadeira batalha contra Kerrigan, Needham precisou de três meses para se recuperar, mas não somente pelo extenuante esforço ao qual havia se submetido, bem como pelo fato de ele ter quebrado a mão direita logo no quinto assalto daquela luta. Ou seja, Needham havia lutado 95 rounds com uma das mãos quebrada.

Então, em 1891, todos clamavam por um luta entre o terrível Danny Needham contra o promissor Tommy Ryan, considerados os dois melhores lutadores meios-médios da época, uma categoria que estava sem um campeão desde a morte de Paddy Duffy.

A luta contra Ryan acabou se tornando mais uma sangrenta batalha a entrar para a carreira de Needham. Após 76 assaltos disputados, em aproximadamente cinco horas, o córner de Needham anunciou sua desistência. Para infelicidade de Needham, como mais tarde se ficou sabendo publicamente, àquela altura do combate Ryan também estava prestes a desisitir da luta.

Em seguida, em 1892, Needham lutou contra o temido campeão australiano dos pesos-leves George Dawson, em uma luta válida na categoria dos meios-médios. Needham dominava a luta até o 29º assalto, quando sofreu um durou nocaute. Posteriormente, Needham lutou contra seu ex-empresário Mysterious Billy Smith, tendo então perdido a segunda luta consecutiva por nocaute. Em 1893, contra o australiano Billy Shadow Maher, no 35º assalto, Needham sofreu seu terceiro nocaute seguido.

Após essas três derrotas seguidas, Needham conseguiu uma pequena recuperação, quando, em 1894, derrotou o inexpressivo Louis Groeninger e conquistou o título de campeão americano dos meios-médios. Porém, àquela altura de sua vida, Needham já pensava seriamente em aposentar-se e nunca se dispôs a defender esse título. Continuou a lutar esporadicamente até os idos de 1899, quando fez sua última luta contra o irlandês Paddy J. Purtell.

Em sua vida particular, Needham teve uma trajetória tão atribulada quanto sua carreira dentro dos ringue de boxe. Junto com seus dois irmãos, durante sua juventude, Danny se notabilizou em sua cidade natal como um verdadeiro encrenqueiro, sempre envolvido em brigas de ruas e pequenos crimes, o que acabou lhe rendendo o seu apelido de o terror de St.Paul.

Needham casou-se com May Skinner, à contragosto da família de May, quando ela ainda era uma jovem moça. Muitos anos mais tarde, enquanto Needham estava fora de St. Paul, May passou a ser assediada por um homem chamado Louis Kihlmeyer. Avisado por May, Needham retornou à cidade e tentou matar Kihlmeyer.

Posteriormente, Needham continuou se envolvendo em problemas, tendo sido cumprido três meses de prisão no ano de 1899, após ter cometido um assalto. Após sair da prisão, Needham e sua esposa mudaram-se para Chicago, em busca de uma nova vida. Porém, pouco tempo depois que os dois chegaram a Chicago, May teve um câncer diagnosticado, que lhe tirou a vida em 1901.

Após a morte de sua esposa, Needham teve um colapso nervoso e desapareceu, tendo sido reencontrado muitos anos mais tarde, em 1918, quando novamente acabou sendo detido pela polícia. Needham passou os três últimos anos de sua vida internado em um hospital psiquiático, em St. Peter, até vir a falecer em 1922.

CDC Says Tick & Mosquito Infections Spreading Rapidly
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/01/health/ticks-mosquitoes-diseases.html
Tick and Mosquito Infections Spreading Rapidly, C.D.C. Finds
By DONALD G. McNEIL Jr. MAY 1, 2018

The number of people who get diseases transmitted by mosquito, tick and flea bites has more than tripled in the United States in recent years, federal health officials reported on Tuesday. Since 2004, at least nine such diseases have been newly discovered or introduced into the United States.
Warmer weather is an important cause of the surge in cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to the lead author of a study in the agency's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
But the author, Dr. Lyle R. Petersen, the agency's director of vector-borne diseases, repeatedly declined to connect the increase to the politically fraught issue of climate change, and the report does not mention either climate change or global warming.
Many other factors are at work, he emphasized, while noting that "the numbers on some of these diseases have gone to astronomical levels."
C.D.C. officials called for more support for state and local health departments. Local agencies "are our first line of defense," said Dr. Robert Redfield, the C.D.C.'s new director. "We must enhance our investment in their ability to fight these diseases."
Although state and local health departments get brief infusions of cash during scares like the 2016 Zika epidemic, they are chronically underfunded. A recent survey of mosquito control agencies found that 84 percent needed help with basics like surveillance and pesticide-resistance testing, Dr. Petersen said.
While the C.D.C. did not suggest that Americans drop plans for playing outdoors or lying in hammocks this summer, Dr. Redfield emphasized that everyone — especially children — needed to protect themselves against tick and mosquito bites.
Between 2004 and 2016, about 643,000 cases of 16 insect-borne illnesses were reported to the C.D.C. — 27,000 a year in 2004, rising to 96,000 by 2016. (The year 2004 was chosen as a baseline because the agency began requiring more detailed reporting then.)
The real case numbers were undoubtedly far larger, Dr. Petersen said. For example, the C.D.C. estimates that about 300,000 Americans get Lyme disease each year, but only about 35,000 diagnoses are reported.
The study did not delve into the reasons for the increase, but Dr. Petersen said it was probably caused by many factors, including two related to weather: Ticks thriving in regions previously too cold for them, and hot spells triggering outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases.
Other factors, he said, include expanded human travel, suburban reforestation and a dearth of new vaccines to stop outbreaks.
In an interview, Dr. Petersen said he was "not under any pressure to say anything or not say anything" about climate change and that he had not been asked to keep mentions of it out of the study.
More jet travel from the tropics means that previously obscure viruses like dengue and Zika are moving long distances rapidly in human blood. (By contrast, malaria and yellow fever are thought to have reached the Americas on slave ships three centuries ago.)
A good example, Dr. Petersen said, was chikungunya, which causes joint pain so severe that it is called "bending-up disease."
In late 2013, a Southeast Asian strain arrived on the Dutch Caribbean island of St. Maarten, its first appearance in this hemisphere. Within one year, local transmission had occurred everywhere in the Americasexcept Canada, Chile, Peru and Bolivia.
Tickborne diseases, the report found, are rising steadily in the Northeast, the Upper Midwest and California. Ticks spread Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, rabbit fever, Powassan virus and other ills, some of them only recently discovered.
Ticks need deer or rodents as their main blood hosts, and those have increased as forests in suburbs have gotten thicker, deer hunting has waned, and rodent predators like foxes have disappeared.
(A century ago, the Northeast had fewer trees than it now does; forests made a comeback as farming shifted west and firewood for heating was replaced by coal, oil and gas.)
Most disease outbreaks related to mosquitoes since 2004 have been in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and American Samoa. But West Nile virus, which arrived in 1999, now appears unpredictably across the country; Dallas, for example, saw a big outbreak in 2012.
For most of these diseases, there are no vaccines and no treatment, so the only way to stop outbreaks is through mosquito control, which is expensive and rarely stops outbreaks. Miami, for instance, was the only city in the Western Hemisphere to halt a Zika outbreak with pesticides.
The only flea-borne disease in the report is plague, the bacterium responsible for the medieval Black Death. It remains rare but persistent: Between two and 17 cases were reported from 2004 to 2016, mostly in the Southwest. The infection can be cured with antibiotics.
Dr. Nicholas Watts, a global health specialist at University College London and co-author of a major 2017 report on climate change and health, said warmer weather is spreading disease in many wealthy countries, not just the United States.
In Britain, he said, tick diseases are expanding as summers lengthen, and malaria is becoming more common in the northern reaches of Australia.
But Paul Reiter, a medical entomologist at the Pasteur Institute, has argued that some environmentalists exaggerate the disease threats posed by climate change.
The 2003-2014 period fell during what he described as "a pause" in global warming, although the notion of a long trend having pauses is disputed.
Also, disease-transmission dynamics are complicated, and driven by more than temperature. For example, transmission of West Nile virus requires that certain birds be present, too.
In the Dust Bowl years of the 1930s, St. Louis encephalitis, a related virus, surged, "and it looked like climate issues were involved," Dr. Reiter said. But the surge turned out to depend more on varying hot-cold and wet-dry spells and the interplay of two different mosquito species. St. Louis encephalitis virtually disappeared, weather notwithstanding.
"It's a complicated, multidimensional system," he said.
A. Marm Kilpatrick, a disease ecologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz, said many factors beside hot weather were at work, including "a hump-shaped relationship between temperature and transmission potential."
Warm weather helps mosquitoes and ticks breed and transmit disease faster, he explained. But after a certain point, the hotter and drier it gets, the more quickly the pests die. So disease transmission to humans peaks somewhere between mildly warm and hellishly hot weather.
Experts also pointed out that the increase in reports of spreading disease may have resulted partially from more testing.
Lyme disease made family doctors begin to suspect tick bites in patients with fevers. Laboratories began looking for different pathogens, especially in patients who did not have Lyme. That led to the discovery of previously unknown diseases.
**Comment**
I for one appreciate Peterson's refusal to push the climate change model. Finally, someone who refuses to fall for the bait.
While mosquitos are more dependent upon weather for survival, ticks are appearing nearly indestructible, but fire does kill them: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/04/03/fire-good-news-for-tick-reduction/

Ottmar Edenhofer, lead author of the IPCC's fourth summary report released in 2007 candidly expressed the priority. Speaking in 2010, he advised, "One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. Instead, climate change policy is about how we redistribute de facto the world's wealth."

Geologic Column: Pie on Pi Day, and Einstein's lesser-known legacy
MIT's Experimental Study Group often bake pie as a way to celebrate Pi Day. Credit: Evan Shelhamer, CC BY 2.0.
By John Copeland
March hosts a number of special days: St. Patrick's Day, Johnny Appleseed Day, the Spring Equinox and, one of my favorites, March 14, which is both the birthday of the father of modern physics, Albert Einstein, and also Pi Day, which celebrates the mathematical constant 3.14 that features in some of Einstein's equations.
Humanity has been contemplating pi for roughly 4,000 years — since humans first sought to quantify the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, and thus found pi. Pi, it turned out, was also handy in calculating a circle's area, and, as time passed, it was found to be useful in trigonometry, physics, statistics, cosmology and fluid dynamics, to name just a few fields.
As far back as 1900 B.C., ancient Babylonians found that pi's value was roughly three. Greek mathematician Archimedes figured out that pi was slightly bigger than 22/7. Today, it is commonly taught in schools as 3.14, though enthusiasts can take the number out to as many decimal places as they'd like. So far, computers have calculated it out to 10 trillion digits — perhaps a bit over the top.
A couple of years ago, I happened to be visiting MIT's Experimental Study Group (ESG) program on March 14. At nearly 50 years old, ESG is the oldest of the four freshman learning communities at MIT. Freshmen students enrolled in ESG tackle the first-year core subjects of biology, chemistry, humanities, mathematics and physics in small group settings as an alternative to large lecture classes. The ESG facilities foster an open and relaxed environment in which to learn and socialize, including a lounge with a complete kitchen — important since food often plays a part in the ESG learning process.
I have long been aware of Pi Day, but I had never been somewhere that really celebrated the day. At ESG, the students and many of the staff and faculty were wearing pi-themed T-shirts and buttons. But the best part of their celebration was found in the kitchen where several different kinds of pie were on offer — even Italian ones in the form of pizza.
Now, I firmly believe that there are cake people and there are pie people. I am a pie person — cherry is my favorite — and I can eat a lot of it, and even more pizza. And so can 50 or so freshmen, so before long there were only empty pie tins spread across the ESG kitchen counters. It was a wonderful celebration, and left me with a feeling of true satisfaction and happiness as I consumed my share of pie. And that brings me back to Albert Einstein.
While his scientific feats are legendary, there is so much more to know about Einstein than just his work. In 1915, he published his theory of general relativity, which has proven to be one of the best tools for understanding the universe, black holes, time expansion, gravitational waves and other astronomical phenomena we've discovered. Then, seven years later, in October 1922, Einstein formulated another theory, one that wasn't exactly related to physics, nor was it carefully detailed in a scholarly publication.
Einstein was in Tokyo on a lecture tour when he was informed by telegram that he would be receiving the Nobel Prize. When a bellboy arrived at Einstein's door to deliver the message to him, Einstein realized he didn't have any money to tip the messenger. Instead, Einstein offered a tip in the form of his theory on how to have a happy life, which he quickly jotted down, in German, on a piece of stationery from the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo:
"A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness." On a second sheet, he wrote, "Where there's a will, there's a way."
Einstein allegedly offered these notes to the bellboy, apologetically, in lieu of a tip, and told the bellboy if he was lucky, the notes might someday be more valuable than a regular tip. His words, befitting a man who had transformed our comprehension of the universe, were prophetic.
Ninety-five years later, in October 2017, Einstein's theory of happiness was sold at auction for $1.56 million, making him one of the world's most generous tippers. The second note sold for $250,000, according to the auction house. The seller was reportedly a relative of the bellboy.
Far less has been written about Einstein's theory of happiness than his scientific theories, but that doesn't mean scientists haven't studied it. In one of the most detailed scientific explorations of happiness and success that I've read, published in 2005 in Psychological Bulletin, researchers reviewed 225 studies and concluded that happy people are generally more successful than unhappy people, due in large part to their positive emotions and outlooks: Happiness leads to success, rather than success leading to happiness.
On that note, I'm going to enjoy a piece of cherry pie on March 14, which will give me a hefty dose of happiness.

The U.S. government, leading scientists from around the world and a multibillion-dollar industry are teaming up to fight one of the biggest threats modern civilization has ever faced.
No, it's not terrorism or climate change they're battling — it's coffee rust, a microscopic fungus that's wreaking havoc on coffee crops in Central America.
"We don't see an end in sight anytime soon," Leonardo Lombardini of World Coffee Research, a scientific endeavor of Texas A&M University, told the Associated Press.
In conjunction with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), World Coffee Research is embarking on a $5 million research initiative to combat coffee rust.
Also known as coffee leaf rust or Hemileia vastatrix, the fungus spreads easily through the air on spores. Once it infests a tree, it's virtually impossible to contain, though some strict quarantine efforts have proven effective at minimizing the spread of the fungus.
Coffee rust produces small, yellowish spots on the underside of coffee leaves; these eventually turn a rusty reddish-brown color. Leaves affected by coffee rust will eventually fall off, leaving the trees almost bare. Within a few years, the tree will die if untreated.
In some areas, coffee plantations have moved to higher altitudes, where the fungus has difficulty reproducing. There are chemical fungicides — particularly copper-based fungicides such as copper oxychloride — that can be effective when used during the rainy season (the fungus spreads best in rainy weather).
First discovered in East Africa in the 1800s, coffee rust has a nasty legacy. It virtually wiped out the coffee industry in much of Asia: The Philippines, Indonesia and Sri Lanka were particularly hard-hit, and those countries no longer produce coffee in significant amounts.
The fungus has now spread around the world and has been reported in Brazil, Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras and El Salvador. In 2013, Guatemala declared a state of emergency over the devastation wrought by coffee rust.
In Central America, the dry season of 2011-2012 was unusually wet, allowing coffee rust to spread unfettered, according to the BBC. And the fungus has now mutated to a form that can thrive at higher altitudes, placing those coffee plantations at risk.
In a $100 billion industry that employs some 25 million workers worldwide, according to Business Insider, this is nothing less than a crisis.
"The current coffee-rust outbreak is the worst in Latin America's history," USAID said in a statement. "It is estimated that production will fall by as much as 15 to 40 percent in the coming years."
Part of the reason USAID and other governmental and nongovernmental agencies are getting involved isn't simply to lower the price of a cup of joe. It's also because small growers and seasonal workers in places hard-hit by coffee rust are expected to turn to other sources of income, namely cocaine and other illegal narcotics.
The USAID-Texas A&M program is just one part of the federal government's Feed the Future initiative, an international anti-hunger and anti-poverty effort that has reached 7 million small farmers and 12.5 million children, according to the USAID statement.

Your outdoor is a great venue for various activities, such as birthday parties, anniversaries, and even simple family gatherings. But you and your guests may not fully enjoy them if your outdoor area is not prepared for these important events.
With properly installed landscape lighting, you can now turn your outdoor activities at night into more enjoyable and memorable ones.
The type of landscape lighting that we can install in your property will depend on your preferences, budget, and current landscape design. Before we proceed with the installation, a careful assessment of the area is conducted to ensure outstanding results. The existing structures, the utilities, and your future plans for the landscape are also considered. We perform these tasks because lighting installation is a delicate job that must be carefully planned and installed by trained and certified lighting installers.
PATH LIGHTS. These are used in walkways, driveways and garden steps. Path lights are installed in-ground or low to the ground. They are glare free and provide just the right amount of light to illuminate the way.
DOWNLIGHTS. These are used to light an object or improve security in a specific area. Areas which can be highlighted could include outdoor kitchens, pool decks, and beauty spots.
UPLIGHTS. Architectural features, textured wall areas, trees, and planting areas are best highlighted by uplights.
SPECIALTY LIGHTS. These can be used as accent lighting for focal areas in a landscape. Outdoor living spaces such as patios, gazebos, and pergolas are best illuminated by string lights. Another type of specialty lights is the submersible lightings, which are used in water features, like ponds, pools, fountains and waterfalls.

The Right to Science | 7-8 October 2020
*This event has been rescheduled from April 2020 - we are pleased to proceed via Zoom*
We all have a human right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress (the Right to Science [RtS]). The right has its origins in Article 27 of the United Nation's 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted in the wake of World War II. In 1966, the UN turned these commitments into binding obligations under international law. The implication is that, just as governments are expected to respect the rights to, say, freedom of speech and due process, so they must also adopt measures to respect and ensure the RtS. The existence of this right is important for researchers and society. It adds a legal and moral dimension to a range of fundamental issues, including scientific freedom, funding, and policy, as well as access to data, materials, and knowledge. Yet, despite its potential for furthering science and human rights causes, the RtS has not received the attention it deserves.
This transdisciplinary symposium, organised by gloknos in collaboration with our Advisory Board Member and UNESCO Chair in Cultural Rights Prof Helle Porsdam, will explore the RtS against the background of the 2017 UNESCO Recommendation on Science and Scientific Research.
The symposium is open to the public but spaces are limited, so please contact Samantha Peel to book your place.
