Having lived in the Northern Territory in the late-80s and early-90s for some eight years, it continually draws me back for more Top End adventures. Under a hot Territorian sun, it boasts some of the world's best barramundi fishing, along with great pig and buffalo hunting, representing an outdoorsman's paradise.
The allure of days under the NT sun while hunting the Asiatic water buffalo is our incentive when travelling in a vehicle for three long days. Those hours of seemingly endless straight, flat bitumen roads with white lines flashing past. Or the bull dust almost overwhelming us on corrugated trucking roads of the north. Dodging sharp rocky extrusions and pot holes, with providence on our side, we experienced only two punctures but this all became a distant memory as we reached our destination.
Having first hunted buffaloes during the Brucellosis and Tuberculosis Eradication Campaign (BTEC) in the mid-80s, I was eager to see how the species had fared. I returned to the Territory on a number of occasions but had never managed to acquire a quality bull. It always amazes me how these animals had survived so many onslaughts on their being. This includes the BTEC project and of more recent times, their capture for the live export market.
Our party of four hunters consisted of Tobias, his father John, Binga and me. Buffaloes are large beasts and can present a threat to any hunter's safety. Ross, the brother of the Traditional Owner, escorted us for the first few days until we became acquainted with the wilderness area. Then he left us to our own devices.
Binga and John, new to buffalo hunting, had been elected first cabs off the rank. Hunting in the NT is so different to tracking deer in the southern states. Hunting areas are massive, often measured in hundreds of square kilometers, with game sparsely spread to accommodate for the lack of water and feed.
Our party were all normally deer hunters, often backpacking into rugged zones to chase samba and red deer. We were hardened by roving the craggy mountainous country of Victoria and Queensland so we employed a spot-and-stalk method for our buffalo outing. This required traversing bush tracks by vehicle until buffaloes were spotted, which was often a kilometre or more away. Then we would disembark the vehicle, make a plan, don our backpacks and begin a stalk.
Two days had passed before we had an old bull on the radar. A flurry of wind blew across our path enabling us to move within 40m. As Binga looked for a tree to rest his rifle, the breeze changed direction by 90 degrees. Suddenly the gust was coming from behind us. Instantly the bull stood and looked directly at the source of its disturbance, positioning a shrub between Binga and its vitals. Quickly dropping to one knee enabled Binga to fire under the foliage. The bull hunched over, ran 30m then stood for a few seconds and fell to his well-placed shot. Binga had just taken a very good bull, one to be proud of.
We spent several mornings chasing some fine buffalo bulls but due to the fickle nature of the wind or the dry undergrowth they were alerted to our presence and disappeared. For the third straight day John had not been able to close the deal, due to these winds and scrub as well as some grief inflicted by an injured toe. On the fourth day, it needed all the persuasive powers of Tobias to encourage John to leave camp and continue hunting.
Once again bad luck plagued John. We had seen an impressive bull which Tobias, John and I had pursued for a couple of hours to no avail, having left Binga and Ross at the vehicle. On our return Binga informed us he had spotted another bull with a couple of cows in tow. Tobias, John and I headed after the bull. We had the breeze in our favour yet for some reason the bull began to push his cows. Unperturbed we followed, through open bloodwood forests to a grassy plain, always just too far away to set John up for a shot. Finally, the bull began running while cajoling his cows, ending our stalk.
Tired, we headed for the vehicle. While crossing the plain we came across a hidden valley. As we began to walk down into the drop we spotted sleeping buffaloes. Using the walls of the valley to our advantage, we glassed the dozing group. There seemed to be a buffalo under every stand of available shade, but no bulls. I am not sure how long we were there; it may have been an hour or more.
As we called the hunt off the wind changed direction, alerting the buffaloes to our presence. One cow made a break for it, the rest followed. I gave up counting the herd as the bulk of them disappeared through the scrub but my estimate put it at 75 buffaloes charging along the valley floor.
By the time we arrived at the vehicle John was suffering, so we headed for camp. Driving along an open plain, a large bull was seen meandering towards a shaded area. Quickly out of the vehicle, the hunt was on with some 400-500m between us. The bull stopped ambling and began walking with some intent diagonally away, with little chance of us keeping pace. Unexpectedly the bull reached a shady tree and stopped for a nap, enabling us to close the gap.
Tobias, who had been encouraging John all along, now had him resting on a tree 60m from the bull. John raised his .404 Jeffery to his shoulder firing a fatal shot into the bull. Expecting a victory salute, I was mystified as John buried his head into his available hand. The scope had bitten with its recoil, leaving John with an unforeseen reminder of hunting buffaloes ‑ a Weatherby eyebrow.
On approaching the downed bull, it was obvious another first-class animal had been taken. The Weatherby eyebrow was distracting John from the discomfort of his foot as the relief of achievement overtook him and he returned to his jovial self. If ever a man had earned his trophy it had to be John. Through plain discomfort John managed to remain upbeat making it a pleasure to be with him when his .404 did the job.
When dressing the buffaloes, we had removed the cheeks of the two animals. Once back at camp Binga placed them in his oven to slow cook over coals the next day. Eleven secret herbs and spices created a treat, as the meat was beautifully tender and sweet. Our hunting group feels strongly about looking for ways to utilise any animal taken, preferring minimal waste.
John's injured foot precluded him from participating in further hunts, so he chose to remain in camp as we drove out across the open plains to look for buffaloes. The mercury slipped past the 30C mark by 10am with no hint of a breeze. Fortunately, humidity remained low as expected during the dry season, confirming our decision to hunt the NT in July. Nights had been cool and comfortable, helping us recover from long hours under the burning sun.
For the first time since our arrival buffaloes were scarce. Along the long dusty plain, countless times we stopped to glass a distant black object, only to be engulfed in a cloud of bull dust. Once the bull dust cleared, came the realisation that the dark object shimmering in the heat invariably was an ant hill or a stump. The track we drove along eventually took us to dry swampland that extended over kilometres of country, where the buffaloes were known to congregate in vast numbers. Generally, on our arrival it was normal to see black dots widely distributed over the swamp. Today the naked eye could find nothing through the shimmering haze, though when we raised our binoculars one or two cows with calves were located, but no bulls.
Suddenly Tobias, who was off to our left, whistled for our attention. We looked over as he raised his arms to indicate he had found a bull. There was no doubt this was a bull worth investigating. With much open ground between us and the buffalo it was decided Binga would stay put in the shade and glass. If we couldn't see the bull, Binga would hand signal, directing us.
Ensuring the breeze favoured us, we began our stalk with the bull facing our direction. Trees were sparse between us and the bull with 50 to 70m gaps. The ground undulated slightly, allowing us to crawl along on hands and knees. Then the animal decided it was time for a nap, lying down facing away from us.
We seized the opportunity, closing the distance to 50m hidden behind separate trees 20m apart. As the bull was sleeping Tobias raised his rifle and studied the animal through the scope, ready to shoot.
With the bull in his sights and squeezing the trigger, our zephyr changed direction. Immediately, the bull began to rise at the instant Tobias's trigger broke, sending off an errant projectile. Stunned the bull ran 50m in a semi-circle before stopping, unsure of what had disrupted his sleep. That was a fatal mistake, as Tobias fired a well-placed shot into his engine room, killing the bull on the spot. As we closed in we saw heavy horns, broomed and chipped from years of defending his territory, on a first-class trophy any hunter would be proud of. We butchered the bull after our photo session. Nothing was going to wipe the smile off the face of Tobias ‑ he had achieved what he had set out to do.
It was roughly 2pm when we finished with the bull, too early to head back to camp so we drove the length of the swamp. A few buffaloes were seen but all ran at the sight of the vehicle, a repercussion of bull catchers having worked the area in the past. By mid-afternoon a swirling breeze developed due to the heat of the sun on the baked dry swamp, making it difficult to close in on buffaloes. We had several starts but all finished with buffaloes, the winners.
Our day was coming to a close as we began the drive back to camp. Feeling weary, it was difficult to stay awake listening to the rhythmic hum of the motor while rocking to the gentle motion of travel as we left the swamp for the plains There was about an hour of light left when Tobias spotted a buffalo away in the distant cleft of a valley floor where two hills were separated by an opening to yet another plain. Tobias quickly surveyed the bull using his 15x binoculars and said: "This needs a closer look." Binga parked the vehicle at the foot of a rise, so using the incline for cover we started our stalk.
Descending to the cleft at the base of both hills, we arrived at what looked like buffalo paradise. There were wallows still holding water and green pick everywhere, yet no buffaloes to be seen. Daylight was quickly fading as we pushed on. We wouldn't have moved more than 50m when Tobias signalled. Slipping up beside him I saw something I had been waiting years to behold. It was a huge old buffalo with long heavy horns, feeding without a care in the world. This was my chance, so I moved over to a tree for a rest, only to be blocked by another tree, forcing me to swing left. Now behind a tree I could use as a rest, with the buffalo in front of me I raised the .416 Ruger and released its deadly medicine.
One shot was all it took and the buffalo was mine. As we closed in I took a closer look at the buffalo's body. Its skin hung loosely like an old sheet hanging over a clothes horse, hip bones protruding and ribs visible. On closer inspection its left eye was blind and the right eye had begun to cloud over. Opening its mouth there were stumps where teeth once stood proud. This old fella was on his last legs. I had done him a favour.
If ever an animal was a trophy this old boy met the criteria. Well past his prime, he was probably destined to suffer a slow and hungry death had it not been for the merciful bullet of a hunter, making me proud to be that hunter.
We returned to camp quite a satisfied bunch. With the hunting finished, it was time to break out the fishing rods and relax on the Roper River and catch a barramundi. Regrettably as fishermen we make very good hunters. The motor on the boat we borrowed played up, forcing us to use the foam we had as cushions and the landing net, with plastic bag wrapped around it, as a paddle. That's exciting when you have been told you are in the domain of a 4m crocodile.
No fish were caught but my camera had a workout as the wildlife was prolific. The laughs and company were the best part of our final few days as our trip dwindled away. A day or so later I would look in the rear-view mirror and watch the last Northern Territory sunset we were privileged to see, as we passed the Queensland border sign. Hopefully it won't be long before I am back again in the great hunting ground of the Territory.

Instalment sale agreements: when can a seller cancel?
By Frances EverettOn March 13, 2019 December 10, 2019
A recent decision handed down by the Constitutional Court in the matter of Amardien and Others v Registrar of Deeds and Others [2018] ZACC 47 confirms the steps to be taken by a seller before he may unilaterally cancel an instalment sale agreement.
Recordal of the instalment sale agreement
In terms of Section 20(1)(a) of the Alienation of Land Act 68 of 1981 ("the ALA"), a seller is required to ensure that an instalment sale agreement ("ISA") entered into with a purchaser is recorded against the title deed of the property with the Registrar of Deeds.
Section 26(1) of the ALA states further that a seller may not receive consideration in terms of an ISA (i.e. the purchase price) until the aforementioned recordal has been effected against the title deed.
In casu, the seller applied for the recordal of various ISAs some ten years after the agreements had been concluded, despite having actually received instalments from the purchasers during this period. When the purchasers stopped paying the instalments, the seller demanded settlement of the arrears and ultimately cancelled the ISAs.
The issue faced by the Court was whether the seller was entitled to recover the arrears despite the agreements not having been recorded at the time when the arrears accumulated.
On this question the Constitutional Court held that debts only become due when they are "immediately claimable and recoverable". Therefore, for as long as the seller failed to have the agreements recorded, it was barred from claiming consideration in terms thereof and the instalments accordingly did not become due. The purchasers were therefore not at fault for failing to pay the instalments in terms of the agreements.
The Court confirmed that the obligation of a purchaser to pay instalments in terms of an ISA is not activated until the seller has complied with the recordal requirement as set out in Sections 20 and 26 of the ALA. Importantly, this means that a purchaser's failure to pay instalments before recordal of the agreement is not considered a breach of contract.
Notice of recordal of the ISA
As the purchaser's obligation to pay instalments is not activated until the agreement is recorded, it follows that the purchaser should be notified once recordal has taken place in order that he may effect payment as required by the agreement.
In the circumstances of the case, the seller informed the purchasers of the recordal of the agreements and the breach thereof in the same notice. The Constitutional Court held that this did not afford the purchasers sufficient opportunity to make the necessary payments, as this was the first time that they were made aware that their obligations under their respective agreements had become activated.
The Constitutional Court held therefore that a seller must notify the purchaser of the recordal of the instalment sale agreement once same has been effected and must further allow a reasonable time for payment before he may proceed to claim breach of the agreement.
In summary, failure on the part of a purchaser to pay instalments in terms of an ISA is not considered a breach of the agreement until the seller has (1) caused the agreement to be recorded by the Registrar; (2) has notified the purchaser of the recordal, and (3) has afforded the purchaser a reasonable time to make payment before moving to enforce or cancel the agreement.
Notice of breach of the ISA
In terms of Section 19(1) and (2) of the ALA, a seller is not entitled to enforce or cancel an ISA before the seller has:
notified the purchaser in writing of the breach of contract, either by hand-delivery or registered post;
demanded rectification of the breach within a period of at least 30 days from the date of delivery or postage of the notification; and
provided the purchaser with an indication of the nature of the breach and the consequences failing rectification.
Sections 129(1) and 130(1) of the National Credit Act 34 of 2005 ("the NCA") state that a credit provider may not terminate or enforce a credit agreement unless:
the debtor has been in default for at least 20 business days;
the credit provider has drawn the default to the notice of the debtor and proposed that the agreement be referred for review and dispute resolution; and
at least 10 business days have elapsed since the aforementioned notice was delivered.
The Court a quo held that the provisions of the respective Acts are conflicting and that the NCA, being the later Act, prevails. The Constitutional Court held otherwise, emphasising that because the Acts serve different purposes and are capable of being read together, both Acts are applicable with respect to notices of breach of an ISA.
It is worth noting that the Constitutional Court ruled with respect to Section 129 NCA notices that the amount in arrears must be specified in the notice. As such, a notice to the purchaser of breach of an ISA must clearly stipulate the value of the arrears accumulated following the date of recordal of the agreement.

Defusing Violent Extremism in Fragile States
Defusing Violent Extremism in Fragile States by Fred Strasser, United States Institute of Peace
In Nigeria, a radio call-in show with local Islamic scholars provided an alternative to extremist propaganda. In Somalia, training youth in nonviolent advocacy for better governance produced a sharp drop in support for political violence. In the Lake Chad region, coordinating U.S. defense, development and diplomatic efforts helped push back Boko Haram and strengthened surrounding states. Such cases illustrate ways to close off the openings for extremism in fragile states, experts said in a discussion at the U.S. Institute of Peace.
For 15 years, the annual rankings of the Fragile States Index have prompted the question of what works and what doesn't in improving governance, enhancing stability and, increasingly, in reducing violent extremism, said Patricia Taft, programs director at the nonprofit Fund for Peace, which produces the Fragile States Index.
From the Sahel to North Africa to South Asia, fragility generates the political grievances, social alienation and economic failure that fuel extremism, the panelists said at the event, part of the regular Conflict Prevention and Resolution Forum. Fragility, as defined last year by the USIP-led Fragility Study Group, is the absence or breakdown of a social contract between people and their government, with institutional weakness and a lack of political legitimacy.
The impact of fragility—and the openings it provides for extremist influence—surfaces throughout a society, the panelists said…

NASA: New evidence suggesting water on Mars found (PHOTOS)
New findings are offering prospect of water on Mars, an issue that has been puzzling scientists for long time now.
Traces of water on Mars are under a thin varnish of iron oxide, or rust, similar to conditions found on desert rocks in California's Mojave Desert, NASA said in a statement on Friday.
According to NASA scientists, many more outcrops of carbonates that form mainly in large water bodies have been spotted on Mars surface. These patches are more in number than originally expected.
"It's possible that an important clue, the presence of carbonates, has largely escaped the notice of investigators trying to learn if liquid water once pooled on the Red Planet," Janice Bishop, a planetary scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center at the SETI Institute at Moffett Field, California, said.
The new findings that appeared in the Friday July 1, online edition of the International Journal of Astrobiology, were similar to observations provided by NASA's Mars Reconnaissa… >>>

Your Holiness,
Today, we celebrate with you the honourable memory of the Holy, Glorious, and All-Praiseworthy Chiefs of the Apostles, Peter and Paul, who received their crown of martyrdom in the imperial city. We share in the joy of this feast by perpetuating the blessed tradition of exchanging official visits through delegations on the occasion of our respective Thronal Feasts. Our fraternal congratulatory wishes on this feast are conveyed to Your Holiness and expressed in person by our Patriarchal Delegation led by His Excellency Archbishop Job of Telmessos, co-president of the Joint International Commission for the Theological Dialogue between our two sister Churches, the Very Reverend Ambrosios Chorozidis, Grand Synkellus of the Ecumencial Patriarchate, and the Very Reverend Archimandrite Agathangelos Siskos, Librarian of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and secretary of our venerable delegation to you this year.
The commemoration of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul reminds us of their common witness and ministry in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, which led them, ultimately, to their martyrdom. The Church was established on Christ, through the confession, witness and blood of the Holy Apostles, as our Lord foretold: "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8). Hence, after Saint Peter confessed Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the Son of the living God, our Lord said: "you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it" (Matt 16:18). For this same reason, Saint Paul spoke of his mission in these words: "To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass: that the Christ must suffer, and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles" (Acts 26:22-23).
Tertullian recognized the blood of the Apostles and later of the Christian Martyrs as a seed for the Church. Addressing those who persecuted Christians, he said: "We spring up in greater numbers as often as we are mown down by you: the blood of the Christians is a source of new life" (Apologeticus, 50). The death of the martyrs is a testimony of Christ's death on the Cross and a witness to His third-day, glorious Resurrection from the Tomb, both of which lead us to everlasting life in His Kingdom. For this reason, we celebrate the feast of the holy martyrs brightly with the joy of the Resurrection and in the joyful anticipation of the glory of the Kingdom to come, as witnessed by the first martyr, Archdeacon Stephen, at the moment of his martyrdom: "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God!" (Acts 7:56).
The Church, throughout her history, during different epochs and times, has been persecuted; however, the blood of her martyrs was a source of strength in faith and a witness of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. As the Bride of Christ, the Church, is still called to martyria today, as it faces new forms of persecution and oppression. Over the last few years, we have witnessed with great sorrow the attacks targeting Christians and their places of worship. Our sister Churches stand in solidarity with all persecuted and oppressed Christians of our times, and at this very moment, we call to remembrance "those who are in mines, in exile, in harsh labour, and those in every kind of affliction, oppression, necessity, or distress".
Today, we call to mind the joy we experienced being with Your Holiness in Egypt two months ago, a land which is continuously watered by the blood of Christian martyrs. We prayed with you for the people of Egypt, for unity, peace and justice in the world, in the church of Saints Peter and Paul in Cairo near Saint Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral, which became a few months ago a sacred martyrion.
This was a significant moment for us, and for the world. It was in Cairo that, together with Your Holiness, we addressed an International Conference on Peace, sharing together the conviction that there cannot be any violence nor justification of terrorism in the name of religion. Together with you, we underlined that violence is the negation of fundamental religious beliefs and doctrine, that true faith does not release humans from being responsible for the world, and emphasized the importance of respecting human dignity and the need for supporting struggles aiming to attain justice and peace. We reminded our contemporary world that humanity demands from religion today honesty and openness to cultivate love, solidarity and compassion. This can be achieved also through interreligious dialogue which has the aim of overcoming religious fundamentalism and demonstrating that religions can and should serve as bridges between people, as instruments of peace and mutual understanding and respect between human beings. This interreligious dialogue is further strengthened through the deeper rapprochement of divided Christians.
Therefore, we are convinced that our common witness before the numerous challenges of our contemporary world constitutes a positive testimony for the Church of Christ and for bringing us closer to unity. This is indeed the commandment of our Lord and Saviour: "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." (John 13:35). Over fifty years ago, our sister Churches have engaged into a dialogue of love that has led us into a dialogue of truth. With this in mind, we place great emphasis on the theological dialogue being conducted for nearly forty years between our sister Churches. We were particularly pleased to learn that the fourteenth meeting of the Joint International Commission for Theological Dialogue, last September in Chieti, between our Churches was conducted in an atmosphere of fraternal collaboration and mutual theological exchange, successfully producing an important common document on primacy and synodality in the first millennium. Thus, this Commission has proposed new steps on our common path towards unity. Now, the Commission will be entering a new phase of the dialogue. It is our prayer that the Coordinating Committee scheduled for September on the island of Leros will be fruitful by producing a common theme and a methodology for the next stage of our discussions.
Your Holiness, dearest Brother Francis, as we celebrate today the Thronal Feast of the Church of Rome, we reiterate our deepest desire for our common advancement on the journey towards the unity. We pray that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ may grant you health, strength and peace, so that you may continue your diakonia to the precious souls entrusted to your primatial care and wisdom.
Conveying to Your Holiness, the venerable Hierarchs and the Christ-loving faithful of your Church, our warmest greetings, we embrace you fraternally with a "holy kiss" and remain with much love and honour in Christ Jesus, the Lamb once slain who lives forever.
At the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the twenty-ninth of June, 2017
Your Holiness'
beloved brother in Christ,
+ BARTHOLOMEW
Archbishop of Constantinople-New Rome
and Ecumenical Patriarch

PGF Softball Make Up For Lost Time in Panama City Beach
By PCB Sports Complex on Oct. 15, 2020
By Julia Daniels
Published: Oct. 11, 2020 at 4:23 PM CDT
PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG) -Close to 40 teams ages 14U-18U from all over the southeast, headed down to the Panama City Beach Sports Complex for the weekend to compete in the PGF Elite 99% Showcase.
The main goal of the tournament was to make up for lost time recruiting due to the COVID-19 pandemic. PGF aims to give softball players the opportunity to play in front of D2, D3, and NAIA coaches in hopes of landing a scholarship offer to play at the next level. This weekend, there were over 15 scouts out watching.
"With everything that's been going on in the country and everything that's going on in the world with COVID-19, we lost a lot of recruiting time for these young ladies," said Florida Director of PGF, Bill Hoopes. "These are elite female athletes, high academic kids that are chasing a dream and a college scholarship. This weekend we have provided an opportunity. We've got 15 colleges that are here walking around scouting from as far away as Orlando and as far north as coastal Alabama and everywhere in between. It's an opportunity for these girls to get out, get exercised, be around their friends, communicate with each other, and chase their softball dream."

AIP01 - Introduction to the Audio/Video-over-IP Technology Pavilion
Terry Holton, AIMS Audio Group Chairman - UK - London, UK
The Audio/Video-over-IP Technology Pavilion is an initiative created by the AES in partnership with the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS). Following the success of last year's pavilion which provided valuable insights and practical information about audio over IP networking, the scope of this year's pavilion has been expanded to also include video and other related professional media networking topics. This presentation will provide an overview of the various aspects of the pavilion as well as an introduction to AES67 and its relationship to the SMPTE ST 2110 standard.
AIP02 - Designing with Dante and AES67/SMPTE 2110
Patrick Killianey, Audinate - Buena Park, CA, USA
In September 2019, Audinate added support for SMPTE ST 2110 in Dante devices. In this presentation, Audinate will share its vision on how Dante and AES67/SMPTE 2110 can be used together in a modern studio, including Dante Domain Manager. A tour of Dante's managed and unmanaged integration with open standards will lead to a discussion of the need for network security, Layer 3 traversal, and fault monitoring in real time. All will be laid out with practical diagrams of broadcast studios from location sound, to small studios and large properties for practical application.
Wednesday, October 16, 11:30 am — 12:00 pm (IP Pavilion Theater)
AIP03 - Audio Monitoring Solutions for Audio-over-IP
Aki Mäkivirta, Genelec Oy - Iisalmi, Finland
ST 2110 and AES67 have established audio-over-IP as the next generation standard for audio monitoring. This presentation discusses the benefits of using audio-over-IP over traditional audio monitoring methods, and why the change to audio-over-IP is happening with increasing speed. Practical case examples of using audio-over-IP in professional broadcasting as well as in AV install audio applications are presented.
Wednesday, October 16, 12:00 pm — 12:30 pm (IP Pavilion Theater)
AIP04 - Deploying SMPTE ST 2110 in a Distributed Campus System
Cassidy Lee Phillips, Imagine Communications - Plano, TX, USA
Tony Pearson, North Carolina State University
When NC State University (NCSU) was looking to upgrade the Pro-AV gear driving its Distance Education and Learning Technology Applications (DELTA) program, they decided to future-proof their infrastructure with a standards-based approach to IP, while continuing to leverage existing SDI gear. Using SMPTE ST 2110, NCSU significantly multiplied the capacity of their fiber infrastructure — where four single-mode fiber strands had supported four HD video channels, now just two fiber strands deliver 32 bidirectional HD channels.
This presentation will share the real-world experiences and lessons learned from adopting AES67 and ST 2110 to successfully deploy a first-of-its-kind inter-campus Pro-AV system.
Wednesday, October 16, 12:30 pm — 1:00 pm (IP Pavilion Theater)
AIP05 - Introduction to AES70
Ethan Wetzell, OCA Alliance - New York, NY, USA
AES70, also known as OCA, is an architecture for system control and connection management of media networks and devices. AES70 is capable of working effectively with all kinds of devices from multiple manufacturers to provide fully interoperable multivendor networks. This session will provide an overview of the AES70 standard, including the current and future objectives of the standard.
Wednesday, October 16, 1:00 pm — 1:30 pm (IP Pavilion Theater)
AIP25 - Audio in ST 2110 Facility and across WAN
Andy Rayner, Nevion
The ST2110 and NMOS standards are now maturing and in serious use globally. In an all-IP production environment, there are key requirements for the manipulation of audio within a facility. Further to this there are challenges of how essence-flow synchronization is automatically maintained. When sharing audio between facilities for remote/meshed/distributed production there are further challenges for integrity, timing and control.
The presentation will look at all of these facility and wide area challenges and use recent deployments as case studies to demonstrate how these have been overcome.
AIP06 - Bolero Wireless Intercom System in AES67 Networks
Rick Seegull, Riedel Communications - Burbank, CA, USA
Riedel Communications will provide an overview of their Bolero wireless intercom system, including the newest AES67 mode that facilitates the distribution of antennas over AES67 networks. Then, after a review of how to assemble and configure a Bolero standalone system, two people will be randomly selected from the audience to compete to see who can configure a system in the shortest amount of time.
AIP07 - AES67 / ST 2110 / NMOS - An Overview on Current SDO Activities
Andreas Hildebrand, ALC NetworX GmbH - Munich, Germany
Update and report on current standardization activities, including AES67, SMPTE ST2110. Refresh / summary on commonalities and constraints between AES67 and ST2110. Brief overview on NMOS developments and activities.
AIP08 - Innovation through Open Technologies
Nestor Amaya, Ross Video / COVELOZ Technologies - Ottawa, ON, Canada
Where would today's Cloud, smartphones and embedded IoT engines be without Linux? And could we have gotten here with a proprietary OS such as Windows? Similarly, this presentation argues that Pro Audio/Video applications need open technologies to serve the unique needs of their users. Our markets need a fully open stack, beyond just AES67/ST 2110 transport, to reap the benefits of our investment in A/V networking technologies. Learn how NMOS, EmBER+ and similar open technologies enable you to innovate and serve your users better when compared to proprietary control systems.
AIP09 - Reinventing Intercom with SMPTE ST 2110-30
Martin Dyster, The Telos Alliance - Cleveland, OH USA
This presentation looks at the parallels between the emergence of audio over IP standards and the development of a product in the Intercom market sector that has taken full advantage of IP technology.
AIP10 - AES67 / ST 2110 Audio Transport & Routing (NMOS IS-08)
This session explains the details of networked audio transport (as defined in AES67 and ST 2110) and how connections among devices with dedicated channel mapping utilizing NMOS IS-08 can be established.
AIP11 - Technical: Synchronization & Alignment (ST 2110 / AES67)
A deep dive into the secrets behind timing & synchronization of AES67 & ST2110 streams. The meaning of PTP, media clocks, RTP, synchronization parameters (SDP) and the magic of stream alignment will be unveiled in this compact presentation.
AIP12 - ST 2110 Enabled Centralized Production
Lucas Zwicker, Lawo AG
While traditional OB trucks still play a major role in broadcast, more and more companies rely on centralized workflows and remote production. How can ST 2110 help to enable these workflows? And why does it help to streamline REMI procedures? Let us find out about the building blocks of this approach based on a real life example.
Thursday, October 17, 10:30 am — 11:00 am (IP Pavilion Theater)

A deep dive into the secrets behind timing & synchronization of AES67 & ST 2110 streams. The meaning of PTP, media clocks, RTP, synchronization parameters (SDP) and the magic of stream alignment will be unveiled in this compact presentation.
AIP22 - Audio Meta Data Transport
Kent Terry, Dolby Laboratories Inc. - San Francisco, CA, USA
Audio metadata, particularly dynamic, time varying audio metadata, is now a requirement for many audio applications. As AoIP systems use IP connections many possibilities for metadata transport exist, however standards in many areas are lacking which can lead to multiple solutions and market fragmentation. This session will discuss current and emerging IP based audio metadata transport standards that support existing AoIP standards and allow interoperability between AoIP systems and devices. Standards relevant to the ST 2110 suite and AES70 will be covered.
Friday, October 18, 11:00 am — 11:30 am (IP Pavilion Theater)
Friday, October 18, 11:30 am — 12:00 pm (IP Pavilion Theater)
Friday, October 18, 12:00 pm — 12:30 pm (IP Pavilion Theater)
AIP27 - AES67 and SMPTE ST 2110 - The Vulcan Nerve Pinch to RAVENNA?
When RAVENNA was introduced to the industry back in 2010, several – mostly proprietary – AoIP solutions were existing, but no standard was yet visible. Although RAVENNA is an open technology approach, with its modular architecture fully based on existing and well-accepted standards, people seemed to be confused by the wide choice of competing and non-interoperable solutions. The arrival of AES67 in 2013 made people cheer and pay homage to an AoIP standard they believed would finally render any other solutions obsolete… 4 years later, SMPTE published its suite of ST 2110 documents, with ST 2110-30 (linear PCM audio transport) fully referencing AES67 as its basis. A closer look at these standards reveals that RAVENNA – published some 7 years before the arrival of ST 2110 – was build on exactly the same protocols and functions as AES67 and ST 2110. So, does this mean, RAVENNA is now obsolete, being forced to coma by the AES67/ST 2110 nerve pinch? Andreas Hildebrand, RAVENNA Evangelist at ALC NetworX, Germany, explains why this Vulcan nerve pinch does not have any effect for RAVENNA at all…
Friday, October 18, 12:30 pm — 1:00 pm (IP Pavilion Theater)
Friday, October 18, 2:00 pm — 2:30 pm (IP Pavilion Theater)
Update and report on current standardization activities, including AES67, SMPTE ST 2110. Refresh / summary on commonalities and constraints between AES67 and ST 2110. Brief overview on NMOS developments and activities.
AIP31 - Network Automation with Google Sheets?
There are multiple ways to automate your network infrastructure, but what if you need a foolproof and quick solution to let non-network engineers automate certain functions of your network? We will tell you what we've done at the JT-NM Tested events to overcome that!

LOUIS TOMLINSON thinks his late mum 'would really love' the emotional ballad he has finally plucked up courage to record.
In an exclusive hang out with Guilty Pleasures in Simon Cowell's office, the singer compared writing his track Two Of Us to 'therapy' after losing his mum Johannah Deakin to leukaemia three years ago, aged 43.
'She would have loved it, she was a fan of ballads,' said Louis, 27. 'My mum wasn't about feeling sorry for herself. Again that's what gives me pride and comfort singing the chorus. It feels really liberating.
After Keith Flint from The Prodigy and 90210 actor Luke Perry died this week, Louis is grappling with his own mortality as a celebrity.
'It's not me just striving to sound like a real guy, I really struggle with the concept of considering myself a celebrity,' he said.
Louis surrounds himself with normality, part of which is his long-time girlfriend Eleanor Calder, 26. 'I am lucky I have good people around me,' he said.

UPDATE, Tuesday. 4/25: The Bulldogs lost the tournament championship match 5-4 to Tusculum on Saturday afternoon in a third-set tiebreaker in the No. 4 singles match. Wingate, now 17-4, will learn its postseason destination when the NCAA Division II tournament field is announced tonight.
It was another successful season for Wingate University Women's Tennis, as they've successfully won with a 16-3 overall (11- 0 SAC). This year's SAC Women's Tennis Tournament will be held in Rock Hill, South Carolina starting Thursday April 20th. Wingate will begin their chase for a SAC tournament championship on Friday at 1 P.M. against either Anderson, or Carson-Newman.
Head coach Michael Cabana, who is in his 11th year has enjoyed continued success since taking the head coaching job. Women's Tennis has posted a staggering 59-1 record since 2011.
Along the way they have earned 115 total conference wins in program history 48 straight conference wins, seven straight SAC tiles 11 total in program history, and five undefeated SAC seasons. Just like most of Wingate's other athletic teams Women's Tennis is competitive.
This no doubt helps establish a culture that student athletes are proud to be a part of. Recruiting players becomes easier because you have the numbers to back up the claims that you make about your program. This season Women's Tennis was able to have seven players earn conference with coach Cabana being named coach of the year.
This year's team has a mixture of upper and lower classmen and "having a mixture of youth and experience is key", said Cabana. When he first took the job, Cabana thought that he had to control everything, but through the years he has learned to give the upper classmen more responsibility.
Coach Cabana has what he calls a council, this a group of seniors that are responsible for being the eyes and ears when Cabana is not around. They are tasked with showing the freshmen the way the team is run.
Not only is this council used to lead by setting an example for the underclassmen in understanding what it takes to be a part of the program, but they are also used as mentors for them. Before establishing the senior leadership council Cabana would be stressed before matches because he thought he had to do everything to make sure that the team was in the right mindset to perform well in matches.
The senior council has taken a lot off Cabana's plate. He has become more composed during match days because the team knows how to prepare for matches through the examples set by the upperclassmen.
Underclassmen are able to lean on the experience of the upperclassmen when things get tough throughout the season. The team knows that they are going to get the best from their opponents and they cannot afford to have a bad match.
Now that the regular season is over, it is time for the SAC Tournament. What makes the tournament different is that it is one and done. "You only have to be good for four days," said Cabana. The mindset of playing in a tournament is the same for each team, they know what is at stake and know that they must play their best game for each match, or their season is over.
That is another reason why having experience on the team is key because they have been there before and know what to expect. They in turn can take their experience and teach the lowerclassmen how to handle certain situations.
This year's SAC Women's Tennis Tournament will be held in Rock Hill, South Carolina starting Thursday April 20th. Wingate will begin their chase for a SAC tournament championship on Friday at 1 P.M. against either Anderson, or Carson-Newman.

Wind towers vs. birds and bats – information is controversial
North Country Notebook, Littleton Courier, Salmon Press, Meredith, NH
My viewpoint was, and still is, that the huge towers (260 feet high), gigantic blades (add another 150 feet), blinking strobe lights, permanent removal of wind-hindering vegetation, and highly visible road and transmission infrastructures are totally inappropriate for wild, undeveloped, scenic and highly visible settings. And I said I thought that opponents should focus on those issues, as well as the small return in electricity for the massive public price paid, aesthetically and otherwise, and should perhaps stay away from the issue of bird mortality caused by the rapidly spinning blades. The jury is still out on that, I said, and conventional wisdom is that vastly more birds are killed by high-rise windows and free-running cats......Well, so much for conventional wisdom. Editor's Note This opinion piece was written in response to a letter received from Lisa Linowes that is available via the link below.

MIT team analyzes wind energy potential in Northeast
MIT News Office
There's more to determining the value of wind power than knowing which way the wind blows -- or even how hard. MIT researchers studying winds off the Northeast coast have found that estimating the potential environmental benefits from wind and other renewables requires a detailed understanding of the dynamics of both renewable resources and conventional power generation. Data show that wind-energy facilities would generate far more electricity in winter, because that's when winds are strongest. But the need for electricity is greatest in summer, when air conditioners are going full blast.

UPC finds green energy initiatives face headwind
Boston Business Journal
UPC plans for turbines on Mars Hill, southwest of Caribou in northern Maine, have received broad support from residents and politicians. But UPC has hit organized opposition in the other two northern New England states. Two-thirds of residents in tiny Lyman, N.H., petitioned town authorities to stop UPC from erecting a test tower on a ridge west of Mount Washington. And UPC last month underwent a week-long interrogation in Sheffield, Vt.

Zoners Let Wind Group Bow Out
Caledonian-Record, St. Johnsbury, VT
LYMAN, N.H. -- In the hope of fending off a potentially costly lawsuit, the Zoning Board of Adjustment voted Thursday to allow UPC Wind Management to withdraw its application for a height variance. The wind energy company had sought the variance to the town's 35-foot height ordinance in order to erect a wind-measuring device on Gardner Mountain. This is the second time UPC has withdrawn an application for a variance. It also reneged an application last summer, after a 4-1 preliminary vote by the board to deny the variance. "I want them to get a message as to how we voted. I don't want them to continue to withdraw their application and resubmit," said board member Jim Trudell, who cast the only vote to disallow UPC's withdrawal request. "I think we need to make a stand. This cat-and-mouse thing eventually is going to come to a head, one way or another, and I'd just as soon it comes to a head now." But other board members said they were concerned that if they denied UPC's request to withdraw the application, then voted against granting a variance, the international company would involve the town in a costly legal battle. "Is it going to be worth the money to set a precedent?" Chairman Steve Moscicki asked. "If we have to do this again, if we have to do this 10 times, that's our job." UPC project manager Tim Caffyn did not return calls made to his West Burke, Vt., office this week regarding the company's request to withdraw its application. Caffyn has said that if UPC was allowed to install a 150-foot device to measure wind, and found conditions favorable on Gardner Mountain, the company would likely erect up to 20 wind turbines up to 320 feet high. He has also stated publicly that if Lyman residents are opposed to UPC developing a wind farm in town, the company would look elsewhere. Nearly as soon as UPC submitted its first application for a height variance, residents rallied to oppose any wind turbine development on Gardner Mountain. About 190 of the town's approximately 280 voters signed a petition last fall opposing allowing UPC a height variance. Residents have said during a series of public hearings that UPC does not meet the five criteria required for a variance. After the last public hearing on UPC's application in December, Lyman native Brian Santy submitted three petitioned articles, all related to wind turbines and wind-measuring devices, for this year's annual town meeting. The planning board is scheduled to hold a public hearing on those articles, which seek to make Lyman's zoning ordinances more specific, next Tuesday. Some ZBA members pointed out Thursday that if UPC does reapply for a variance, it would be under different zoning regulations should the petitioned articles pass. "I don't think they'll come back again," board member Terry Simpson said. "They have to have an open door." But members also said they are frustrated that UPC has twice withdrawn its application, and many said they wouldn't be surprised to find UPC knocking on Lyman's door again. "I think doing this a second time is ridiculous," said ZBA member Linda Stephens. "The facts of their case are not going to change," Moscicki said, noting UPC will also need a use variance to erect the device. "If they come back again - three strikes, you're out."
Opponents Use Petitions To Fight Wind Farm
More Than Half The Voters Sign Petition
Wind Gauge Opponents Sound Off
LYMAN NEW HAMPSHIRE - The Lyman Zoning Board of Adjustment heard strong opposition to a proposed wind anemometer tower from a majority of residents during a public hearing Wednesday night.
Cold Wind Blowing in Lyman
Littleton Courier, Littleton, NH
"...Merits of the zoning case aside, there are some important facts about Wind Energy that simply cannot be ignored. Wind has long been promoted as a viable, clean alternative to fossil fuels and people have been conditioned to unconditionally embrace it. In fact, the moral justification for wind as the answer to greenhouse emissions has pitted conservationist against conservationist. And this fight has shamelessly been fueled by the misinformation on wind that the wind developers and their advocates promote."

Q: RestController not working in oauth2 Spring Boot I have setup a auth server and resource server as mentioned in the below article
http://www.hascode.com/2016/03/setting-up-an-oauth2-authorization-server-and-resource-provider-with-spring-boot/
I downloaded the code and it is working fine. Now the issue is that in the resource provider project there is only one RestController annotated class as shown below
package com.hascode.tutorial;

import java.util.UUID;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Scope;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableResourceServer;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@SpringBootApplication
@RestController
@EnableResourceServer
public class SampleResourceApplication {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(SampleResourceApplication.class, args);
    }

    @RequestMapping("/")
    public String securedCall() {
        return "success (id: " + UUID.randomUUID().toString().toUpperCase() + ")";
    }
}

Now when I create a different class annotated with @RestController as shown below
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/public")
public class PersonController {

    @Autowired
    private PersonRepository personRepo;

    @RequestMapping(value = "/person", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ResponseEntity<Collection<Person>> getPeople() {
        return new ResponseEntity<>(personRepo.findAll(), HttpStatus.OK);
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ResponseEntity<Person> getPerson(@PathVariable long id) {
        Person person = personRepo.findOne(id);

        if (person != null) {
            return new ResponseEntity<>(personRepo.findOne(id), HttpStatus.OK);
        } else {
            return new ResponseEntity<>(null, HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);
        }
    }

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public ResponseEntity<?> addPerson(@RequestBody Person person) {
        return new ResponseEntity<>(personRepo.save(person), HttpStatus.CREATED);
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "/{id}", method = RequestMethod.DELETE)
    public ResponseEntity<Void> deletePerson(@PathVariable long id, Principal principal) {
        Person currentPerson = personRepo.findByUsername(principal.getName());

        if (currentPerson.getId() == id) {
            personRepo.delete(id);
            return new ResponseEntity<Void>(HttpStatus.OK);
        } else {
            return new ResponseEntity<Void>(HttpStatus.UNAUTHORIZED);
        }
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "/{id}/parties", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ResponseEntity<Collection<Party>> getPersonParties(@PathVariable long id) {
        Person person = personRepo.findOne(id);

        if (person != null) {
            return new ResponseEntity<>(person.getParties(), HttpStatus.OK);
        } else {
            return new ResponseEntity<>(null, HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);
        }
    }

}

but when I tried to access the service (http://localhost:9001/resources/public/person) I am getting 404
{
    "timestamp": 1508752923085,
    "status": 404,
    "error": "Not Found",
    "message": "No message available",
    "path": "/resources/public/person"
}

when I access http://localhost:9001/resources/ I am getting the correct result like
success (id: 27DCEF5E-AF11-4355-88C5-150F804563D0)
Should I register the Contoller anywherer or am I missing any configuration
https://bitbucket.org/hascode/spring-oauth2-example
UPDATE 1
ResourceServerConfiguration.java
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableResourceServer;
import org.springframework.security.oauth2.config.annotation.web.configuration.ResourceServerConfigurerAdapter;

@Configuration
@EnableResourceServer
public class ResourceServerConfiguration  extends ResourceServerConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
        .anonymous().and()
        .authorizeRequests()
        .antMatchers("/resources/public/**").permitAll()
        .antMatchers("/resources/private/**").authenticated();
    }
}

OAuth2SecurityConfiguration.java
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;

@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class OAuth2SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
    @Override
    public void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http

        .authorizeRequests()
        .antMatchers("/resources/public/**").permitAll()
        .antMatchers("/resources/private/**").authenticated();
    }
}

UPDATE 2
@Override
    public void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
         http.authorizeRequests()
         .antMatchers("/resources/public/**").permitAll() //Allow register url
         .anyRequest().authenticated().and()
         .antMatcher("/resources/**").authorizeRequests() //Authenticate all urls with this body /api/home, /api/gallery
         .antMatchers("/resources/**").hasRole("ADMIN")
         .and().exceptionHandling().accessDeniedHandler(new OAuth2AccessDeniedHandler()); //This is optional if you want to handle exception
    }

A: Make your new controller PersonController discoverable by Spring Boot either by using @ComponentScan on a configuration class or by moving PersonController to a package in or under your main class annotated with @SpringBootApplication.
Second fix your OAuth2SecurityConfiguration class like so
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class OAuth2SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
            .csrf().disable()
            .anonymous().disable()
            .authorizeRequests()
            .antMatchers("/oauth/token").permitAll(); //This will permit the (oauth/token) url for getting access token from the oauthserver.
    }

}

Now fix your resource server like so
@Configuration
@EnableResourceServer
public class ResourceServerConfiguration  extends ResourceServerConfigurerAdapter {

    @Override
    public void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.authorizeRequests()
            .antMatchers("/api/v1/register", "/api/v1/publicOne", "/api/v1/publicTwo").permitAll() //Allow urls
            .anyRequest().authenticated().and()
            .antMatcher("/api/**").authorizeRequests() //Authenticate all urls with this body /api/home, /api/gallery
            .antMatchers("/api/**").hasRole("ADMIN")
            .and().exceptionHandling().accessDeniedHandler(new OAuth2AccessDeniedHandler()); //This is optional if you want to handle exception
    }
}

Find the complete source code here. Hope this helps.
Note: You can customize your urls based on the above answer.

A: Why your request url is http://localhost:9001/resources/public/person
I think it should be like http://localhost:9001/public/person

Jean René Lacoste (July 2, 1904 – October 12, 1996) was a French tennis player and businessman.He is also known worldwide as the inventor of the Lacoste tennis shirt, which he introduced in 1926, while competing in (and winning) the US Open championship.
René was the son of Jean-Jules Lacoste and Jeanne-Marie Magdeleine Larrieu-Let, and was born in Paris at 28 Rue Albouy in the city's 10th Arrondissement. His father was a champion rower (he won the French title in 1890), and ran both his own automotive business (J. Lacoste & Co.) as well as handling the affairs of the much larger Hispano-Suiza company which had opened a factory at Levallois-Perret, close to the lucrative markets of Paris, in 1911. Jean-Jules was also an enthusiastic inventor, something which René would also become.
René Lacoste was married to Simone Thion de la Chaume, a French amateur golf champion and his daughter, Catherine Lacoste, won the U.S. Open golf in the 1960s.
Tennis Career
Lacoste was not originally interested in tennis and did not play a game until he was fifteen, but a trip with his father to England where he witnessed a tennis match ignited his interest. His father, though, had planned to enroll him in a prestigious French engineering school, so when René insisted on playing tennis, he gave him an ultimatum to become a world champion within five years or else he would decide his future. Lacoste responded by dedicating himself to tennis in a way few other people could have, and became a top player within three years.
Lacoste was one of The Four Musketeers, a group of French tennis stars who dominated the game in the 1920s and early 1930s. He won seven Grand Slam singles titles in the French, American, and British championships but never made the long trip to Australia to play in their championships. He was the world number one player for both 1926 and 1927. He was nicknamed "Le Crocodile" by fans although the reasons for this nickname have been disputed. Some sources say it was because of his tenacity on the court, while others say it was after a crocodile-skin suitcase he took with him on tour. It's also been claimed that Lacoste and the captain of the French Davis Cup team had a bet with the winner receiving an alligator skin suitcase. In 2018, a grandson of George Carens, a sportswriter for the Boston Herald Traveller in the 1920s, said that it was Carens who had given Lacoste his nickname after hearing the story of the suitcase. In the grandson's words:
[he] Started calling him 'The Crocodile.' Over the years, he used to write lots of articles about him. And the name stuck. … He basically said that 'The Crocodile' described him perfectly … Tenacious on his grip, flashing an omnivorous, toothy grin. He was relentless, and chewed up his opponents slowly. But, without a doubt, the valise was the genesis of it. (1)
In honor of his nickname, René Lacoste's friend Robert George embroidered a crocodile onto a blazer that Lacoste wore for his matches.
René retired in 1929 at the age of twenty-five, after winning the French Open, because his health and game had declined due to respiratory disease.
Lacoste Shirt and Company
It was at the 1926 US Open that René debuted the first version of his tennis shirt. At the time, most players wore ordinary long-sleeved white shirts with the sleeves rolled up, but Lacoste appeared on court wearing a shirt he had designed himself – a white short-sleeved "chemise" made out of a light knitted, breathable jersey fabric called "petit piquel." In 1933, Lacoste founded La Société Chemise Lacoste with André Gillier. The company produced a version of the tennis shirt which Lacoste had worn when he was playing, which had a crocodile logo embroidered on the chest. The shirt was known as the L.12.12, because it had required 12 versions before Lacoste was satisfied (For more on the history of Lacoste, see The History of Lacoste). Rene led Lacoste until 1963 when he turned the company over to his son, Bernard Lacoste.
Other Inventions
Lacoste was a prolific inventor throughout his life. In the 1920s, he invented the tennis ball machine to help him practice. In 1961, Lacoste created an innovation in tennis rackets by creating the first tubular steel tennis racket. He also developed a new polyurethane golf driver, which helped the sport transition to composite material-based clubs. Between the mid-1960s and late '80s, Lacoste filed 20 new patents.
Over the last several years of his life, Lacoste battled health issues. He suffered from prostate cancer and in early October 1996 had surgery on a broken leg. He died in his sleep from heart failure just four days after the procedure, on October 14, 1996, in St. Jean-de-Luz, France.
Was Lacoste Black?
There are persistent internet rumors that Rene was black, due to the reputed Jamaican roots of the mother, but this is incorrect. His mother's family was actually from Monein, in South-West France, with a genealogy dating back to the 1700s.

Trae Young off to Incredible Start to Career
By Reshef Mashraky - November 15, 2018
Just a few games into his career, Trae Young is playing like a star already. The Atlanta Hawks are looking really smart right now, for going after the former Oklahoma stud. Young accomplished many feats in college. But his most impressive was leading the nation in both points per game and assists. It was a true testament to his overall offensive game, and his ability to work off of what the defense gives him.
Already showing so much potential in college, the Atlanta Hawks felt they needed to go after the point guard. Now, they are reaping the benefits of that decision. Young has showed a great shooting range, knocking down three-point attempts from way beyond the NBA arc. He is also putting on a dribbling show, with a great handle on the ball. In this truly great rookie class, it's still way too early in the season to crown him Rookie of the Year. But so far, things are looking up in Atlanta, who suddenly has a strong point guard running the show.
Young's best performance so far came against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In that game, he scored 35 points, while also dishing 11 assists to his teammates. That game showed that Young has a naturally high basketball IQ. He began the game shooting well from outside. Then, when the defense stepped up to guard him from the three-point line, he used that spacing to aggressively drive the ball to the basket. In the second half, Young's focus shifted toward setting up his teammates with great looks. That's how smart he is. He knows what the defense is doing, and his versatility and all-around skills enable him to adjust his game to make the most of the situation at hand.
Another impressive game for Young came just days later, when the Hawks faced the Dallas Mavericks and fellow rookie Luca Doncic. While Young wasn't nearly as prolific in the scoring department in that game, he showed how clutch he is, with two late drives to the basket to get his team the victory.
And if style was given points, young would be getting them in bunches. He has so much control when handling the rock, that it really is reminiscent of Steph Curry. Young has great moves with the ball in his hands. He is able to adjust on the fly, making great split-second decisions that are simply innate. It's a talent that not many players have. And since he is just a few games into his professional career, it's mind-blowing to think just how great he can become.
Of course, defenses are going to start keying in on Young as the season continues. But that doesn't mean they will be successful. He can really do it all. His deep range is the difference-maker that makes him so hard to stop. How far out should a defender step out to stop him? And if they do come out well beyond the three-point line, he can easily use his quickness and shifty moves to run by whoever is guarding him.
It's safe to say Young is already exceeding expectations. It was always obvious that he was an immense talent. But several teams passed on him early in the draft in favor of more hyped prospects. Still, it's a long season, and last year showed how rookies can step it up later in the year. After Ben Simmons claimed most of the attention for his stellar play throughout the 2017-18 season, fellow rookies Donovan Mitchell and Jayson Tatum played at a much higher level in the playoffs, keeping up with some of the greatest players in the NBA. Time will tell how great Young will be in this league, but he couldn't be off to a better start.
