I ran into an issue this week when I attempted to format an 8 GB High Capacity SD Card inside of a camera and it failed to format. I then put the SD card in a pc and attempted the format only to have the format fail in the pc as well.
This software formats all SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards and SDXC memory cards that comply with the SD File System Specification. SD Formatter provides quick and easy access to your SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards.
The SD Formatter was created specifically for SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards. It is strongly recommended to use the SD Formatter instead of formatting utilities provided with operating systems which format various types of storage media. These generic utilities may result in less than optimal performance for SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards.
So I downloaded the program called SD Formatter 3 and tried it on ,my SD card and it worked.
Once installed the application initialized with just one small screen.
First, select the drive containing the card you wish to format. Likely, this will be E or F for most Windows users. Notice that when you select the drive, the size of the SD disk appears just below the selection. For the 4GB card used in this example, the size is recognized as 3.68 GB. (No Matter what size SD card you use, the size will report just a little bit smaller due to formatting requirements).
Next, click Option to select how you want the SD card formatted. A dialogue box appears with a drop down menu listing three "format type" options.
The second, Full (Erase), will put the disk into a proper SD format, be aware that even though this lists as Erase because it does a simple delete vs. overwrite, it may still be possible (It's not easy but could be done) to recover the files that were on the drive.
Under the Format Type drop down menu is a second menu called "format size adjustment" that asks if you want to try to increase the amount of space on your SD card or not. Turning this option on will allow you to use the maximum space possible on your SD card. Once you have made your selection, click OK.
Finally after that you will be asked one last time if you are sure you want to do this. If you are sure, click OK.
With that you should now have a very usable SD card.
This advice worked perfectly! Thanks so much.
Thank you for being a person who actually KNOWS what they are talking about. Worked.
What if I complete all those steps an overwrite format said its complete and successful, but there are still some files on the disc and the disc wont read in my camera?
What kind of Camera (include model) are you trying to use with the SD Card?

Sonia Rykiel's new owner to be revealed before Christmas
The Sonia Rykiel soap opera, with its unhappy ending, might eventually be regarded as one of the fashion world's main stories of 2019. It is, however, far from over. After an unsuccessful effort to engineer the Parisian label's recovery, the owner, First Heritage Brands, threw in the towel at the start of the year, forcing Sonia Rykiel to look for a buyer, with no success. In July, the Paris trade court ruled that the label should go into liquidation, and it is now time for the tale's last twist: the auction for the rights to the Sonia Rykiel brand name and its fashion archives.
The last Sonia Rykiel show, for the Spring/Summer 2019 - © PixelFormula
The bids have been presented to the label's liquidators and were examined in a court hearing on November 25. The court reserved judgement on the case, and will issue a ruling on it within three weeks, by mid-December.
Undoubtedly, the potential buyers of the Sonia Rykiel brand name - and of the rich creative heritage it accrued since it was founded in 1968 - are several, presumably each with a different project for exploiting the label's assets. The final question, whose answer will be revealed before the year-end festivities, is who will have bid highest to become the new owner of Sonia Rykiel.
The city of Paris urged the French Ministry of Culture to enter the fray in order to avoid the dispersal of the label's archives, with a view to possibly showcasing them in a museum. Something on which the judge will also issue a ruling in mid-December.
The liquidation of Sonia Rykiel, in the absence of a buyer for the company, its organisation and assets, led to the dismissal of 131 employees. Given that this summer none of the leading French luxury groups put forward a bid to relaunch the label, the fate of its trademark is uncertain.
In 2012, Sonia Rykiel - one of France's last independent labels - decided to sell an 80% stake to Chinese investment fund Fung Brands, the holding company of the Fung family from Hong Kong. First Heritage Brands, a group that was created when Fung Brands increased its stake in Sonia Rykiel to 100% in early 2016, in association with its director Jean-Marc Loubier and Singaporean investment fund Temasek, also acquired Belgian luxury leather goods brand Delvaux. First Heritage Brands is said to have invested nearly €200 million in Sonia Rykiel in six years, up to the celebration of the label's 50th anniversary in 2018, before pulling out.
In 2016, a few months after Sonia Rykiel's eponymous designer died, a first restructuring led to the dismissal of a quarter of the label's employees. The relaunch efforts were fruitless however. In 2018, Sonia Rykiel's revenue fell to €35 million, nearly half of what it was in 2012 when the label was bought, with operating losses of over €30 million.

Posted inarticles, same-sex marriage
Christian sexual morality in a same-sex marriage future
by Mark Regnerus Aug 21, 2014 May 1, 2020 / 6 mins /
As mainline Protestant denominations increasingly accept the ordination of gay clergy and publicly affirm same-sex unions, the sociologist in me wishes to understand what this development means for people in those denominations. I'm not talking about subtle linguistic shifts. While the difference between speaking of marriage as a "civil contract between a woman and a man" and as "a unique commitment between two people" is obvious to those who pay attention to church documents, the impact of such changes on congregants' attitudes and internalized paradigms—their hearts, I suppose—is seldom considered.
What is the sexual and relational morality of Christians who accept the moral legitimacy of same-sex marriages? Some questions naturally arise. Does adultery mean the same thing for both same-sex and opposite-sex unions? Does it make sense to speak of premarital sex in such a context? Historically, the fear of pregnancy was enough to scare many love-struck Christians into taking things slow, but same-sex pregnancies are an accomplishment, not an accident, and most Christians use contraception now anyway.
Integrating homosexual relationships into Christian moral systems is not simple, and the process has ramifications for how heterosexual relationships are understood, too. What exactly do pro-same-sex-marriage Christians think about sex and relationships in general?
I'm not asking what perspectives on sexual behavior people ought to hold. Instead, I'm trying to discover what perspectives churchgoing Christians who disagree over same-sex marriage actually express.
To be sure, the sexual and relational standards of many Christians have already shifted. I'm not so naïve as to think that affirming same-sex marriage is the first significant change to take hold in their sexual and relational norms. More likely, the sexual morality of many churchgoing Christians shifted years ago, and the acceptance of same-sex marriage as licit Christian action follows significant change rather than prompts it. An ideal test would have been to have successfully interviewed congregants in "shifting" denominations (like the Presbyterian Church USA and the Episcopalians) over time, mapping what happens to their personal attitudes and opinions as social change occurred around them. So far as I'm aware, no one has done that. Indeed, it would have been difficult to do, involving the successful anticipation of future changes that were far from certain at the time.
What I do here is far more circumscribed. I assess a set of sexual and relational attitudes of Christians who support—and Christians who oppose—same-sex marriage.
Primarily, this exercise concerns the attitudes of all churchgoing Christians who express support for same-sex marriage. And since the LGBT population remains a small minority (and even smaller in organized religious communities), it's reasonable to conclude that the sexual morality that "welcoming" congregations or individual Christians profess will have largely been fashioned—and maintained—by sympathetic heterosexuals. These are and will remain the majority (and hence, the norm) in all congregations, save for the Metropolitan Community Church and perhaps scattered congregations of the United Church of Christ.
The Relationships in America Survey
To do this, I rely on the Relationships in America survey, a data collection project I oversaw that interviewed 15,738 Americans, ages 18-60, in early 2014. It's a population-based sample, meaning that its results are nationally representative. The survey asked respondents to indicate their level of agreement or disagreement with these seven statements:
1. Viewing pornographic material is OK.
2. It is a good idea for couples considering marriage to live together in order to decide whether or not they get along well enough to be married to one another.
3. It is OK for two people to get together for sex and not necessarily expect anything further.
4. If a couple has children, they should stay married unless there is physical or emotional abuse.
5. It is sometimes permissible for a married person to have sex with someone other than his/her spouse.
6. It is OK for three or more consenting adults to live together in a sexual/romantic relationship.
7. I support abortion rights.
There is more to sexual and relationship morality than just these seven items, to be sure, but they do offer us a glimpse into how people perceive various practices and relationships. In order to ensure this is not just an exercise in documenting the attitudes of Christians "in name only," I've restricted the analysis to churchgoing Christians—here defined as those who report they attend religious services at least three times a month and who self-identified with some sort of Christian affiliation. And I've restricted the analysis to those who report a position either for or against same-sex marriage. (I've excluded the one-in-four who reported they are undecided.)
For comparison purposes, however, I report the population average for each measure here, to use as a gauge of where the country is as a whole, as well as the attitudes professed by self-identified gays and lesbians who also report affiliation with a Christian tradition, and gays and lesbians who do not report a Christian affiliation. Because there is no attendance proviso attached to these two groups, the minority of gay and lesbian Christians who are regular churchgoers may also appear in one of the first two columns.
So what do the numbers say? The table above displays the share of each group who either "agree" or "strongly agree" with the seven statements listed above. At a glance, there is a pretty obvious fissure between Christians who do and do not oppose same-sex marriage. More than seven times as many of the latter think pornography is OK. Three times as many back cohabiting as a good idea, six times as many are OK with no-strings-attached sex, five times as many think adultery could be permissible, thirteen times as many have no issue with polyamorous relationships, and six times as many support abortion rights. The closest the two come together is over the wisdom of a married couple staying together at all costs (except in cases of abuse).
Churchgoing Christians who support same-sex marriage look very much like the country as a whole—the population average (visible in the third column). That answers my original question. What would a pro-SSM Christian sexual morality look like? The national average—the norm—that's what.
While the divisions here are notable, we should maintain some perspective. No more than four in ten Christians who support same-sex marriage agreed with any of the statements above (except the question about children and divorce). The same cannot be said for American Christians who self-identify as gay or lesbian, as the fourth column demonstrates. And that group is clearly distinct from those gay and lesbian Americans who do not affiliate with a Christian tradition (e.g., nonreligious, Jews, spiritual-but-not-religious, Buddhists, etc.).
I'm not suggesting any "slippery slope" sort of argument here, implying that a shift in one attitude will prompt lock-step adjustments in others. In reality, our moral systems concerning sex and sexuality tend rather to resemble personalized "tool kits" reflecting distinctive visions of the purpose of sex and significant relationships (and their proper timing), the meaning of things like marriage and gender roles, and basic ideas about rights, goods, and privacy. Americans construct them in quite distinct combinations, often cafeteria-style. Instead, the results might be better interpreted as a simple story of social learning from quite different reference groups—those sets of people we use as a standard of comparison for ourselves, regardless of whether we identify as a member of that group. Indeed, attitude shifts in this domain are probably far more about reference groups than about any sort of individual "evolution" or rational construction of personal values. And it's because of reference groups that both sets of Christians tend to perceive themselves as rather embattled, which is an inherently social sensation.
Christians Feel Embattled—Regardless of Their Views on Marriage
Churchgoers who oppose same-sex marriage sense that they are out of step with the rest of the nation about sex and relationships. (The numbers above reinforce that.) And Christians who favor legalizing same-sex marriage often remain embattled with those who oppose it, and yet sense that their own views on sexuality still lag behind those gay and lesbian Christians from whom they've have become convinced of the legitimacy of same-sex marriage. That, too, is true. Gay and lesbian Christians, in turn, have much in common with gay and lesbian non-Christians—their social circles often overlap. The sexual norms of the former are not as permissive as those of the latter but are still well above the national average in permissiveness. The latter likely constitutes a reference group for gay and lesbian Christians (together with heterosexual Christians with whom they are in fellowship).
Given the rather massive divide in attitudes about sexual and romantic relationships evidenced in the table above, reference group theory—if employed here—would suggest that the current division between these groups of churchgoing Christians will remain far into the future. Even if a share of American Christians who presently oppose same-sex marriage track in more liberal directions—and it would be shrewd to presume that this will occur—those Christians who already support same-sex marriage are themselves still tracking in that same direction. And, from the looks of it, they have plenty of territory to cover yet.

Changing the Field: Integrating Athletics at UT
This academic year marks 50 years since the university integrated its athletic program. The years before and after that moment contain a complex history. Learn more.
By: Louise Iscoe

Henry Reeves attends to an injured Longhorn.
Long before the University of Texas at Austin hired Charlie Strong, even long before the first African-American athlete was admitted to the University of Texas at Austin, the university had Henry Reeves. From 1875 to 1915, Reeves was trainer, doctor and manager generally the most significant figure in early UT football. The students loved him.
But Reeves, who was black, wasn't permitted to eat with the players or room with them. Despite this separation, the students rebelled when the UT president wanted to fire him, and when he died, they collected money to pay his funeral expenses. Doc Henry, as the students called him, was elected posthumously to the Longhorn Hall of Fame.
More than 40 years after Reeves' death, UT Austin allowed African-American athletes from other schools to participate in intercollegiate events, including football, on its campus but prohibited its own black students from playing on teams in those same events. Among Southwest Conference teams there was an unwritten policy that "if you don't play your black students, we won't play ours." Few Texans noticed or cared if there was a black student in the Chemistry Department or the Latin Club, "but having just one on the football team was another matter," according to Richard Pennington, author of Breaking the Ice: Racial Integration of Southwest Conference Football.
We invited UT scholars to reflect on the integration of sports for Black History Month.
Reflecting on Coach Charlie Strong's recent arrival, what are your thoughts about sports integration at UT?
I applaud the hiring of Coach Strong. As a Texas Ex and a diversity researcher, I'm knowledgeable about UT's history regarding access for African-Americans Heman Sweatt sued UT for access in 1949; Erwin Perry broke the faculty color line in 1964; and freshman Julius Whittier was the first black football player at Texas in 1969 (he was ineligible for the 1970 championship team).
I've written about the uneasy feeling of standing in DKR Memorial Stadium and hearing the yells of majority white fans directed at a majority black team. I think 2014 is going to feel different we'll know that Coach Strong shares an identity with most of the players.
Richard Reddick, assistant professor, Department of Educational Administration
What's important to know about the history of collegiate sports integration?
Although we view racial integration in sports as having an impact on the racial progress we've made in America, that impact is only symbolic, and there is still plenty of work necessary in the struggle for racial equality today in an Obama-led United States.
For example, after the slow moving racial integration of the Texas football team in the late 1960s and early 1970s, African-Americans now make up the majority of the scholarship student-athletes on the football team. However, of the 51,000 students on campus, less than 3 percent are African-American males and the university continues to struggle to recruit and retain talented African-American male students at the undergraduate and graduate levels an issue also prevalent at other research universities across the country.
Darren Kelly, director, McNair Scholars Program, and assistant director, African American Male Research Initiative
How does the U.S. stack up against other countries in terms of sports integration?
There's a popular belief that sport is a meritocracy free from discrimination. While it is true that the soccer fields of Europe are more diverse than they were 30 years ago, racism remains a significant problem. Black soccer players are regularly subjected to abuse and have limited opportunities off the field of play.
By contrast, the United States looks much better. The appointment of Charlie Strong shows how far we have come in challenging antiquated views that African-Americans might be okay as position coaches but shouldn't be allowed to be the head coach. Yet, perhaps a true marker of change will be when the person who appoints the UT head coach is a person of color.
Ben Carrington, associate professor, Department of Sociology
Darren Kelly, a postdoctoral fellow in the Division of Diversity and Community Engagement who wrote his master's thesis on the integration of Texas football, said several factors caused UT to delay the integration of its teams later than other schools. Texans tended to connect with their university through football, and some alumni exerted pressure on the university to remain segregated on the field. "Whether it was hesitation because of fear of losing money from boosters or lack of being able to get great white recruits who didn't want to play with African-Americans, or fear from other fans or parents and players who didn't agree with integration all of these were factors," Kelly said. "You didn't want to rock the boat too much and lose support."
In August 1954 Marion Ford Jr., a good student and athlete who wanted to major in chemical engineering and play on the UT football team, was admitted to the university along with four other African-Americans. The registrar, athletic director and two members of the Board of Regents met to decide what to do. Ford had been admitted to UT, but the university still segregated its varsity teams. Their decision was to revoke the admission of all five students, making the athletic decision moot. Ford was angry and protested, but the decision stood. He enrolled in University of Illinois, where he did well both academically and on the football team. Ford transferred to UT in 1956, the first year African-Americans were admitted to the university as undergraduates, but he still wasn't allowed on the football team. He graduated magna cum laude, earned an M.A. and a doctorate in dental science, and in 1963 received a Fulbright scholarship. But he never played football.
James Means
By the early 1960s a majority of students favored integration both on the playing field and off. In May 1961 the Regents received a Student Assembly and faculty petition with 7,000 signatures to support "the immediate integration of all housing and athletic programs." A concurrent petition from students opposing integration contained only 1,300 signatures.
As it turned out, the university's first black varsity athlete would be in track, not football. James Means, an Austin high school student, planned to attend UT in the fall of 1963 and wanted to participate in track. His mother, Austin civil rights activist and teacher Bertha Means, called Frank C. Erwin Jr., who was then a new member on the Board of Regents, to protest the fact that her son was ineligible for varsity track only because he was black. A few months later, the Board voted unanimously to integrate athletics, stating that extracurricular activities would be open to all students without regard to race or color.
Julius Whittier
At the same time, the Regents gave Darrell Royal, then-athletic director and football coach, the authority to decide when and if a black student might participate in a UT athletic program. Despite the fact that university athletics were opened to blacks in 1963, there were no black athletes on the football team for the rest of the decade, and few on any of the competitive sports teams. It took seven more years for change to come about.
In 1970, Julius Whittier was the first African-American to receive a football scholarship and play on the varsity football team. In a 2005 New York Times story, Whittier said, "I had no real time or hard-drive space in my brain to step back and worry over how potentially ominous it was to become a black member of the University of Texas football team and all of the horrifying things that, from a historical perspective, could happen to black people who dare to accept a role in opening up historically white institutions."
Roosevelt Leaks came to UT in 1971 and played his first year on the Shorthorns freshman team; he became the university's first black All-American in 1973. Both Whittier and Leaks changed the attitudes of white parents and fans through the state and helped draw other black athletes, including Earl Campbell, who in 1977 was the first UT student to win the Heisman Trophy.
UT star running back Roosevelt Leaks carries the ball in a 1974 game against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
This is an excerpt from a new manuscript by Louise Iscoe, co-author of "Overcoming: A History of Black Integration at the University of Texas at Austin" (1979), which features stories from the first African-American students at the university.

Jason Heyward 2011 Topps Red Diamond
So, Opening Day 2011 is over- the weather was threatening in our nation's capital, but the game was played, and the beloved Braves won 2-0. For the second year in a row, Mr. Jason Heyward homered in his first at bat of the season. Today's blast went out on a line, giving the Bravo's their 2-0 lead. In doing so, Heyward became only the second player to hit home runs in his first at bat on consecutive Opening Days in his first two seasons. The other, you ask? Kazuo Matsui of the Mets. He did it in 2004 and 2005.
Another 2011 Topps Insert-this one the 'Red Diamond' card from the Series I packs found at Target. Another bargain price on this one-I paid $1.99 delivered for it. And like the Stadium Lights insert set, I really like the front of the card, while the backs leave much to be desired. The "diamond" motif in this year's Topps works really well-obviously they're celebrating 60 years, but it's just fitting-what with baseball being played on a diamond. It wouldn't/won't work as well with football. The write up for the "Diamond Gem" is a good idea, considering the theme of the insert-but that's where the praise ends. Hopefully, the series 2 insert backs will have a little more thought and creativity put into them.

2011 Topps Opening Day Stadium Lights- The JHey Kid
When I first saw the sell sheet for this years Topps Opening Day set, I wasn't exactly blown away by the preview of the Stadium Lights Joe Mauer card. Never the less, when I had the opportunity to pick up the Jason Heyward card on eBay for $1.25 shipped, I jumped on it-and am actually glad I did. Everything about the front design works-from the "Stadium Lights" looking like it's done in lights, to the slick design along the bottom of the card-this is one of Topps better looking inserts of late, imo. While I like the "night facts" found on the back of the card, I do wish they would have done something different with the background behind it. Did you know that Heyward hit exactly the same at night as he did during the day last year (.277)? He also hit 11 of his 18 home runs at night, as well as collect 65% of his total bases under the lights.
Overall, this is a great, inexpensive card of the Braves second year star who I am predicting will "light it up" this season.

Book Review- Big Hair and Plastic Grass:
In late January I started a new blog on another host. Frustrations with this current one led me to experiment with Word Press. I haven't fully committed to a change, but I have posted a few entries over the past two months-one of which I am reprinting here.
What defines a decade? Is it the events that take place? Maybe it's the ideas that shape the culture, or the people and leaders who are a part of the narrative. Some might even include in this list fashion and art, innovation, and/or fads. I would say yes to all of the above- and author Dan Epstein uses a similar paradigm in writing his witty look at pop-culture and Major League Baseball in the '70s.
Perhaps no other decade (save the 50′s, with racial integration having taken place) has seen as big of a cosmic shift in the game of, as well as the culture of, Major League Baseball as did the 1970s. And it's no surprise, really, as the game is often just a microcosm of the culture. 'Big Hair and Plastic Grass: A Funky Ride Through Baseball and America in the Swinging '70s' is a fun look at a time in the history of the game where we saw changes in the playing surface, stadium architecture, uniform design, and how the counter-culture crept in- challenging the conservative establishment as players no longer represented the clean-cut image that the league had worked so hard to promote. But the biggest changes to take place in the 70′s, and ones that still affects the game today, was the abolishment of the reserve clause in 1975, resulting in free-agency being established, as well as the first work stoppage in professional sports (the 1972 season lost the first 13 days of the regular season due to the players strike). These changes, on and off the field, are woven into Epstein's tale of a decade dominated by teams such as the A's, Reds, and Yankees, and individuals who dominated the headlines, such as Bowie Kuhn, Reggie Jackson, Billy Martin, Mark "The Bird" Fidrych, Dock Ellis, and Hank Aaron.
Epstein uses each chapter to focus on a particular year from the decade. And while the hardcore baseball fan may not learn anything new (especially those of us who are over forty), it is a fun stroll down memory lane.

Opening Day Flashbacks, 1982
The 1982 Braves began the season by rolling off 13 straight wins-a major league record since tied by the 1987 Milwaukee Brewers. The streak began with an Opening Night victory against the San Diego Padres, a team which the previous season finished at the bottom of the NL West in both halves (remember, the 1981 season was cut short by the strike, and thus a first-half and second-half division winner was announced). The Braves first loss on the season would come against the Reds on April 22, as they lost 2-1.
April 6, 1982, Jack Murphy Stadium- San Diego, California
If you enjoy watching a game with a lot of offense, then this wasn't a game for you. Instead, both teams would have a difficult time getting a hit-they combined for a total of just 6 hits. Atlanta did, however, managed to get eight walks off of Padre starter Juan Eichelberger. Surprisingly, Eichelberger didn't allow more runs, as the Braves ended up leaving 10 runners on base for the evening. One walk, however, would haunt the Padres. With one out in a scoreless tie in the top of the fifth, Brett Butler drew a walk and then scored on Glenn Hubbard's double to left. A passed ball and another walk would give the Braves runners on first and third, but they would fail to score again in the fifth. It didn't matter, however, as Butler's run would be all they would need on the night.
Player of the Game- Glenn Hubbard
Hubbard, who prior to the 2011 season had spent the last twelve seasons as the Braves first base coach, was known primarily for his defense in his playing days. This night, however, Hubbard would be the hero with his bat-with the fifth inning double that drove in the only run of the game. Hubbard would go on to hit 25 doubles and drive in 59 RBI in 1982 (both career highs to that point), as well as lead the National League in sacrifice hits that year.
Pitcher of the Game- Rick Mahler
After giving up a two-out single to Luis Salazar in the bottom of the second, Mahler would go on to pitch a masterpiece-allowing only one other hit on the night. That hit wouldn't come until the bottom of the ninth, when Rupert Jones doubled with two outs. Thankfully, Jones would be left in scoring position as Sixto Lezcano followed up by striking out to end the game. The Lezcano K would be the seventh on the night for Mahler, who also surrendered three walks (one being intentional). The win for Rick was the first of nine on the 1982 season and was the first of five complete games (2 shutouts) he had thrown that year.

Topps Counterparts: 1962/2011 #76
Ah- another baseball season is upon us, and Topps has issued another Heritage set. That means it's time to begin another round of Topps Counterparts. The first featured cards in this year's counterparts are found on card #76 in their respective sets.
1962 Topps #76 Howie Bedell
The 1962 Topps set featured a rookie by the name of Howie Bedell, who the previous season gave Milwaukee at least some small hope that he would become a productive big leaguer-despite the fact that he was 25 and had spent the last five years in the minors. That '61 season saw Bedell hit in an American Association record 43 straight games while coming .001 points of winning the batting title (as a side note, I'm currently reading the new book, 56: Joe DiMaggio and the Last Magic Number in Sports by Kostya Kennedy-it's highly recommended!). In the March 1962 issue of Baseball Digest, in which Bedell shared the cover with Sam McDowell, Dave Giusti ,and Jim Fergosi , the following scouting report on Bedell was given: "Speed, hustle and desire are his big assets. Little power, though improving as a hitter." Those assets (at least the hustle and desire) worked for Pete Rose-unfortunately for Bedell, they didn't work for him. Howie ended up with 150 plate appearances for the Braves in 1962, hitting a meager .196 with 2 RBI and 1 double and two triples. The '62 season was the only time that Bedell had any big league experience with the Braves. He would return to the majors once more, in 1968 with the Phillies-recording only 1 hit in 7 at bats in 9 games.
2011 Topps Heritage #76 Freddie Freeman
Coming into the 2011 season, the Braves had declared that rookie Freddie Freeman would be the team's first baseman to start the season. Freeman, however, approached Spring Training as if he were playing to win the job, and you've got to respect a kid who has been given a job and doesn't take it for granted. After a hot start this spring, Freeman has cooled off of late-after today's game he is hitting .238 with 2 home runs. The reports on him in the field is that he will be a very good defender, and he has impressed with the glove for the most part this spring- although he has had a couple of plays where he didn't field it cleanly where he should have. My guesstimate is that by the end of the season, Freeman will be hitting around .260-.265, with 13 HR while driving in about 60 runs.

Well, I am way behind on the Opening Day Flashbacks. With Opening Day 2011 just a little over a week away,there's no way I'll be able to post on each Braves opening game since 1966. So instead of wading through the remaining years of the '70s-where the Braves didn't put much out on the field- I'll pick up with the year 1980.
For the first time since 1974, the 1980 Braves finished above .500 (81-80)-thanks in part to the slugging combo of Dale Murphy and Bob Horner. The 1980 season would see the two arrive at star status as each hit over 30 homers and drove in 80+ runs. Newly acquired 1B Chris Chambliss (acquired from the Blue Jays on Dec. 5, 1979) would give the Braves a power hitting lefty and more veteran leadership for Bobby Cox's team.
April 9, 1980 Cincinnati, OH- Riverfront Stadium
The Braves 1980 season got off to a rough start, as the Braves fell to the Cincinnati Reds 9-0. After Reds' leadoff hitter Dave Collins grounded out to start off the bottom of the first, Braves starter Phil Niekro would give up four hits and two walks before another out was recorded. By the time the Reds' half inning was done, and all nine Reds had batted, Niekro and the Braves were already down 4-0. Dave Collins opened the bottom of the second off with a strikeout, but reached first base on the passed ball by Braves backstop Biff Pocoroba. The play would loom large, as the next two hitters would record outs-but instead of being out of the inning, Niekro would have to face clean-up hitter George Foster-who would deposit a Niekro pitch into the bleachers for a 6-0 Reds lead. Braves reliever Rick Camp would struggle in the third inning as well, giving up two runs (including an RBI single by Reds starter Frank Pastore) before settling down. Cincinnati would go on to score one more run (a seventh-inning sac fly by second baseman Junior Kennedy)-but the game was clearly out of reach by then.
Player of the Game-George Foster
Foster, the Reds slugging left-fielder, went 3-5 this night, with the home run, 4 RBI, 2 runs scored, and a double. While known primarily for his home run prowess (he was the only player in the 1970s to slug 50 or more in a season and finished his career with 348 homers), opening day would be the first of nine games during the 1980 season in which Foster had three or more hits (including a 5-5 game on April 21 against the Houston Astros).
Pitcher of the Game-Frank Pastore
Pastore, a second round draft pick by the Reds in the 1975 amateur draft, made his MLB debut just a year before pitching this complete game shutout. On
the evening, he allowed only three hits while striking out five. In fact, the Braves would not have another runner reach first base after Chambliss' forth-inning single. Pastore would have his best career as a pro in 1980, going 13-7 for the Reds, with a 3.27 ERA and 1.099 WHIP in 27 starts.
Labels: 1980 Topps, Atlanta Braves, Opening Day Flashbacks
Entering the 1974 season, Braves legend Henry Aaron was one home run short of tying Babe Ruth's record for career home runs. With Aaron standing on 713, and wanting him to break the record at home, Braves management decided they were going to sit Hammerin' Hank for the opening three-game series in Cincinnati. Bowie Kuhn, major league baseball commissioner at the time, objected to the decision and ordered Braves manager Eddie Mathews to play Aaron in two of the Braves three games in the Queen City.
April 4, 1974 Riverfront Stadium, Cincinnati, Ohio
With a full-house of 52,124 people in attendance, the 1974 National League opener got off to a bang as two of the first three Braves hitters reached base off of Red's starter Jack Billingham. Then, with the count 3 and 1 and on his first swing of the season, Aaron tied the hallowed record-giving the Braves a 3-0 lead. Billingham, who endured a tornado in his town the night before the game, was no stranger to Aaron- having given up home runs number 528, 636, 641, and 709 to the soon-to-be Home Run King. The Braves took a 6-2 lead into the bottom of the eighth inning, when Phil Niekro would come into relieve starter Carl Morton after Morton walked lead off hitter Pete Rose. After Dan Driessen singled to right, Tony Perez hit a three-run homer-cutting Atlanta's lead to 6-5. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, and still trailing 6-5, pinch-hitter George Foster singled to left to keep the Reds alive, and would then score the tying run when Pete Rose doubled to center. Rose would double again with two-outs, this time in the bottom of the eleventh, and would score the winning run from second on a wild pitch by losing pitcher Buzz Capra.
Player of the Game-Hank Aaron
With all due respect to Rose, who went 3-5 with 3 runs, 2 doubles, a walk,and an RBI- the man of the hour (and of the night) was Hammerin' Hank. Aaron, who homered on the next to last game of the 1973 season to put him one short of Ruth, had to endure an off-season as the recipient of hate-mail, death threats, and a fear of whether or not he would be alive by the time Opening Day 1974 arrived. Of course, four days later, during the Braves home opener, nearly 54,000 people would witness the record fall-as Aaron would homer off of Dodgers' starter Al Downing in the bottom of the fourth.
Pitcher of the Game-Clay Carroll
Clay Carroll, who began his career with the Milwaukee Braves in 1964,
pitched 1.2 shutout innings in picking up the victory. It would be the first of twelve wins on the season (versus only five losses) for the Reds reliever.
The following season would be his last in Cincinnati, who
would trade him to the White Sox following the 1975 season.
Labels: Atlanta Braves, Hank Aaron, Opening Day Flashbacks
Opening Day of 1973 saw a match-up of two teams that would go on to finish forth and fifth in the NL West that year. For those in attendance, they got one and a half games for the price of one as the Astros and Braves were locked in a 1-1 dual until Houston would win it in the thirteenth inning.
Starters Dave Roberts of the Astros and Gary Gentry of the Braves were shutting their opponents out until the bottom of the fifth, when Gentry helped his own cause by singling in 2B Davey Johnson for a 1-0 Braves lead. Jim Wynn, who would play for Atlanta during the 1976 season, homered off of Gentry to begin the sixth inning, but neither team would plate any more runs until the top of the thirteenth inning-when Astros super stud Cesar Cedeno doubled in the eventual winning run off of Cecil Upshaw.
Player of the Game- Cesar Cedeno
Cedeno, in the early part of his career, looked like he was heading to Cooperstown. As a 19 year-old rookie in 1970, he hit .310 in 90 games. Combining speed, power, and Gold-Glove defense in center, Cedeno became only the second player in history to hit 20+ homers and to steal 50+ bases in the same season (a feat he accomplished three straight seasons). He also ranks 25th on the all-time stolen base list with 550 career steals. This evening, Cedeno would go 3-6 with the game winning RBI. Cedeno would pull off his second straight 20/50 season in '73, but would eventually see his games played significantly decline due to injuries that were the result of his
all-out style of play.
Pitcher of the Game-Roric Harrison
Harrison, who was originally signed by the Astros at age 19, was in his first year with the Braves in '73 (he pitched in Baltimore during the 1972 season). Relieving starter Gary Gentry, Roric pitched five innings this night, allowing only three hits and no runs while striking out five Astros. Unfortunately, Cecil Upshaw followed Harrison and ended up losing the game for the Braves in the thirteenth.

If you were to take a look at my collection, you would quickly realize that it's made up almost exclusively of Topps cards. Every once in a while, however, something catches my eye that is from some other card manufacturer- and this week's Mailbox Monday features a few such cards.
2011 In the Game Heroes and Prospects- Randall Delgado autograph #A-RD2
Randall Delgado isn't nearly as hyped as uber-prospect Julio Teheran, but scouts love his makeup (he has shown in each of the past two seasons that he can make necessary adjustments to his game) and he has the stuff to be a starter in the top half of the rotation. He was recently listed as number 35 in Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects. With a bright future ahead of him, I wanted to pick up a Delgado auto to add to my collection of young guns in the Atlanta organization: I currently have Hansen, Minor, and now Randall (really wanting to add a Teheran and Vizcaino!) Thus, when I had the opportunity to pick this up for a few bucks, I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I know-it's an on-sticker signature, but I really don't mind them.
1953 Johnston Cookies #2 John Antonelli, #6 Dave Cole, #11 Max Surkont, #12 Jim Wilson
These bad boys are from a set that I have long admired but never bothered to pursue. I was able to pick them up on the 'bay for $9.99 delivered, and perhaps some day I can try to work towards finishing this tough regional set.

Spring Card Show Buys
While spring hasn't officially arrived, Spring Training is in full gear-meaning Opening Day's not far off. What better way to prepare for the upcoming season (and the baseball card season) than to attend the local Spring Card Show-which is exactly how I spent my Saturday morning.
The first dealer that caught my eye was a guy from whom I had bought a nice stack of mid-late 50s cards at the Winter Show. Hoping he would have some different flavors to choose from this time, I wasn't disappointed as he had brought binders and boxes with 60s and early 70s. Fortunately, he's very fair in his pricing-which allowed me to pick up another nice group of Braves for very little. Highlights from this group include:
1957 Topps #127 Bob Buhl and #262 Bobby Thomson
Although badly centered, I couldn't pass up these two. They are, after all, from my favor
ite set of all time. Thomson, whose time in Milwaukee would end in mid-June of the 1957 season (when he was traded back to the Giants), had been a disappointment with the Braves, but would enjoy a resurrection in his career in 1958 with the Cubs.
Buhl enjoyed his greatest success while pitching for Milwaukee from 1953 to 1962, when he would be traded to the Cubs. A middle of the rotation starter, Buhl fit in nicely in the #3 slot in the rotation behind Spahn and Burdette, and contributed back-to-back 18 game wins in '56 and '57. I particularly like the final sentence on the back of this card: "Sometimes he has a streak of wildness that works to his advantage by preventing batters from 'digging in' against him." Gotta keep them honest!
1969 Topps #355 and 1970 Topps #160 Phil Niekro
You've gotta love "Knucksie"-he seemed to defy the natural course of aging and pitched until he was 48 years young. To top it all off, he threw the first no-hitter for the Atlanta Braves, coming on my birthday- August 5, 1973. According to the back of Phil's '70 card, he was a high school basketball teamate of John Havlicek.
1960 Topps #170 Del Crandall
Thankfully, I didn't have to pay extra for the two staples included on this card. Now I can honestly say that I've seen not just staple holes, but the actual thing, on a card!
1964 Topps #476 Rico Carty
Topps got it right by including the "Beeg Boy" in its '64 set. Carty, who once
described himself as the "world's greatest baseball player", finished second in the Rookie of the Year voting in 1964- hitting .330 with 22 HR, 88 RBI, and a .942 OPS. What could be bigger than that? Perhaps the distance between he and
his teamates. Or, his pride. Obviously, the card is off-cut; but other than that, it's not bad- and for $1.50 that's okay by me.

The beginning of the 1972 season saw the first week and a half of the schedule wiped out due to the players strike-it was the first time in major league history that games would be cancelled due to a players strike. League officials decided that the games would not be made up, and as a result of the strike there was an uneven number of games that each team lost. Unfortunately for Red Sox fans, the uneven schedule resulted in the Detroit Tigers winning the AL east by 1/2 game.
For the Braves, the '72 season began on April 15th in San Diego against the Padres. Tied at two going into the bottom of the sixth, Atlanta starter Phil Niekro faced seven hitters in the inning and wouldn't escape, allowing four runs to score before being removed from the game with two outs in the sixth. Jim Nash and Steve Barber shut the Padres down for the final 2.1 innings, and the Braves scored one in the seventh and two in the eighth to make it close, only to come up short at the end of the game.
Player of the Game- Derrel Thomas
Thomas, the first overall pick in the January 1969 amateur draft, perhaps never lived up to the expectations of a number one pick, but he did have a 15 year MLB career. Known for his versatility and his speed, Thomas' 1972 season debut saw him go 3-4 with a run scored, an RBI, and a stolen base. It was Thomas who would play a key part in the Padres big sixth inning. After shortstop Enzo Hernandez doubled to lead off the bottom of the sixth, Thomas moved him to third on a bunt single. Once on first, Thomas drew a throw to first from Niekro. First baseman Hank Aaron (who replaced Orlando Cepeda earlier) made an error on the play, however, and Hernandez would score. Thomas then stole second and would score two batters later on Jerry Morales' single to left.
Pitcher of the Game- Clay Kirby
Kirby lost 20 games as a rookie in 1969 and would spend eight season in the majors, compiling a 75-104 record (for a .419 winning %) along with a 3.84 ERA. For all the promise that Kirby showed at times, control problems would plague him his entire career. Four times he finished in the top 5 for both wild pitches and base on balls, and he had a career WHIP of 1.384 (which would have been much higher if not for his 1971 season). Kirby is perhaps best known as the pitcher who in 1970 had a no-hitter through eight, but was pinch-hit for in the bottom of the eighth and then saw a possible shared no-hitter lost in the ninth when reliever Jack Baldschun gave up a lead off single to Bud Harrelson.

2011 Topps Opening Day Stadium Lights- The JHey Ki...


The 10th of December commemorates the date on which the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; a declaration which recognises equality and dignity for all individuals. Today is referred to as International Human Rights Day (IHRD). This year the United Nations has chosen to recognise IHRD through the theme "Human Rights 365" focusing on the need to promote and progress human rights on a daily basis.
A key focus of the United Nations this year is the use of social media and as such the United Nations is promoting IHRD through #rights365.
Human rights in the Cayman Islands are enshrined in Part One of the Cayman Islands Constitution Order 2009 – the Bill of Rights, Freedoms and Responsibilities. They are the rights which the Cayman Islands Government commits to providing to the individuals of these islands.
Human rights are not the cause, or solution to, social issues; rather they are certain protected and fundamental rights which all of us are entitled to as human beings. They encompass such important guarantees as the right to life, the right to religious freedom and the right to a fair trial, amongst others. These rights are guaranteed, in various forms, to promote dignity and equality of all. It is through these fundamental rights that a fair and just society is created and democracy is nurtured. It is because of these rights that as individuals we enjoy the quality of life we do in the Cayman Islands.
Nothing is perfect. Human rights get abused just as other parts of the system get abused; but the nurturing and respect for these principles has underpinned the successes of the western liberal democratic model. Without the government guaranteeing these rights our islands would be in a far less stable and prosperous position today.
Many persons recently celebrated Thanksgiving and many more are about to celebrate religious holidays in the coming weeks. This is the time of year to count our blessings and be thankful. It is also perhaps an opportunity to reflect and ask what can I do to play my part in promoting equality and dignity for those around me on a daily basis?
The Human Rights Commission works to review local draft legislation, government policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the Bill of Rights. Much of this is highly technical work which takes place behind the scenes and is only detailed in the Commission's annual report. So far 2014 has seen the Commission focus on issues such as the protection of privacy, preservation of private and family life, and a reinforcement of the absolute stance against inhuman and degrading treatment.
The Commission has also been working more publicly to try to promote a better understanding of human rights and to dispel some of the misconceptions surrounding them.
Over the next twelve months we will continue working with the Cayman Islands' government and with local and international organisations to protect these fundamental rights and spread the message of human rights progress and equality – #rights365.
For more information on human rights in the Cayman Islands or to contact the Human Rights Commission visit our website www.humanrightscommission.ky or Facebook page www.facebook.com/cihrc. Educational pamphlets are available at the George Town Hospital, the Courts Offices, George Town Library or the District Administration Building. Alternatively you can call us at 244-3685 or come by our offices at Cayman Corporate Centre on Hospital Road.
(CNS): The chairman of the Liquor Licensing Board has confirmed that people holding booze licence will get a time extension for New Year's Eve, which this year falls on a Wednesday. Officials stated that liquor-licence holders in all seven categories will get a one-hour extension beyond their existing regular closing times on New Year's Eve. Board Chairman Mitchell Welds said, however, that it is not automatic and licence holders must apply for the extension. He also explained that the additional hour is added to the closing time, so a business that normally closes at 1am in accordance with its licence can apply for an extension to close at 2am. Welds also noted that all other licence stipulations remain in effect.
"Liquor sales and the playing of music must cease during the last ten minutes of permitted opening hours for retail, hotel, restaurant, and beer or wine categories of licences," he said. 'Furthermore, customers are to vacate the premises before closing."

Q: Updating HTML Without Removing Event Listeners Here is the HTML part:

     More Details

Text Here

When you click on More Details, the HTML changes to this:

     More Details

Text Here

This happens because I use a script that includes this code (let's call it toggle-script for future reference):
$(".deploy-toggle-3").click(function() {
    $(this).parent().find('.toggle-content').slideToggle(200);
    $(this).find('em strong').toggleClass('toggle-3-active-ball');
    $(this).find('em').toggleClass('toggle-3-active-background');
    return false;
});

So far so good. Now, for various reasons, I want to make an AJAX call and update the HTML. I do this using the following script:
function createHTML() {
    let content =
        '
 ' +
        '
 ' +
        ' {14} ' +
        '  ' +
        '
 ' +
        '
{15}
 ' +
        '
 ' +
        '
 '
    ;

    return content.format(
        // In here I replace the {14} and {15} with what I want
    );
}

let my_content = createHTML();

$("#my-container").html(my_content);

While it does replace the HTML correctly, I have noticed that it removes the Event Listener from the More Details element. This means that, if you click on it, it does not run the toggle-script.
Reading the JQuery DOC, I found this:

jQuery removes other constructs such as data and event handlers from
  child elements before replacing those elements with the new content.

My temporary fix is to re-include the toggle-script after running the .html() function.
1) Can someone explain if what I described is the case indeed? Or what exactly is going on?
2) Is there a way to deal with this more effectively than my temporary solution? Ideally, a way to not remove the Event Listeners in the first place.
3) Is the way I am updating the HTML optimal? Is there a better way to do this and why?

Appeal from the circuit court of Pennington County; Hon. Joseph H. Bottum, Judge.
Thomas R. Vickerman, Asst. Atty. Gen., Pierre, for plaintiff and respondent; Gordon Mydland, Atty. Gen., Pierre, on brief.
William J. Rieb, Rapid City, for defendant and appellant.
The defendant was charged with and found guilty of grand larceny by a jury in the Circuit Court of Pennington County, South Dakota. He appeals from the judgment and sentence in the state penitentiary thereon.
In the course of investigating the larceny of a pickup truck, the investigating officers determined the thief wore boots with a distinctive print. The stolen pickup was later found abandoned and the officers followed the distinctive boot prints in fresh snow to the rear door of defendant's mother's dwelling house. The officers were admitted into the home by defendant's mother where they found defendant asleep in a basement bedroom with the boots on the floor next to the bed. The defendant was awakened, and advised of his statutory and constitutional rights by the officers. He then acknowledged the boots to be his. Defendant was then arrested and taken to jail. Sometime later the same officers were advised that a radio was missing from the stolen pickup. The officers and the defendant returned to the dwelling house for the purpose of a further search with the consent of the defendant. They were again admitted by defendant's mother, whereupon defendant produced the radio without the necessity of a search.
The defendant now contends and assigns as error that the trial court failed, upon proper motion, to suppress as evidence in the trial the boots and radio because the same were seized without warrant in violation of his rights under Amendment IV of the United States Constitution and Art. VI, § 11 of the South Dakota Constitution.
[1, 2] Defendant contends that the initial entry into the dwelling house with the consent of and at the invitation of his mother was illegal in the absence of a proper search warrant. Here the officers had reasonable cause, as required by SDCL 23-22-7(2)(3), to arrest the defendant under the circumstances shown. A search may be made without a search warrant as an incident to a lawful arrest. State v. Merrill, 82 S.D. 609, 152 N.W.2d 349. In this case the defendant does not contend the illegality of his arrest. We do not agree with defendant's contention that Stoner v. California, 376 U.S. 483, 84 S.Ct. 889, 11 L.Ed.2d 856, which held that a desk clerk could not consent to the search of a rented hotel room, is here applicable. In this case the defendant's mother's control over the dwelling was apparently absolute. An emancipated child (defendant was 22 years old) does not have the same constitutional right of privacy in the family home as he may have in a rented hotel room. State v. Kinderman, 271 Minn. 405, 136 N.W.2d 577, cert. den. 384 U.S. 909, 86 S.Ct. 1349, 16 L.Ed.2d 361.
Defendant's further contention that the search in connection with the radio was in violation of his constitutional right is equally without merit. It clearly appears from the record that the search was conducted with the consent and acquiescence of both defendant and his mother. A search without a search warrant is valid if made with the consent of the occupant. State v. Merrill, supra.
HANSON, P.J., and BIEGELMEIER and WINANS, JJ., concur.
I agree that the police lawfully seized defendant's boots as an incident to the lawful arrest of defendant without a warrant. See Warden, Maryland Penitentiary v. Hayden, 387 U.S. 294, 87 S.Ct. 1642, 18 L.Ed.2d 782; Harris v. United States, 390 U.S. 234, 88 S.Ct. 992, 19 L.E.2d 1067; Chimel v. California, 395 U.S. 752, 89 S.Ct. 2034, 23 L.Ed.2d 685; Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443, 91 S.Ct. 2022, 29 L.Ed.2d 564. In view of this holding, it is unnecessary to decide whether the consent given by defendant's mother to enter defendant's room would have supported the seizure.
I agree that defendant gave the police valid consent to enter his room on the second visit to the Lewis residence.

All three Student activists released from Delhi's Tihar Jail
Image: PTI
Finally, the three activist students came out of the jail with a big smile on their face. Natasha Narwal, Devangana Kalita and Asif Iqbal Tanha walked out of Delhi's Tihar Jail on Thursday night, two days after the High Court highlighted the distinction between the "right to protest" and terrorist activity, and granted bail.
The Supreme Court said three students could remain on bail but agreed to examine the legal aspects of the Delhi High Court verdict. However, a two-member bench of Justices Hemant Gupta and V Rama Subramanian said the Supreme Court would examine the bail order, noting that this case could have "pan-India ramifications" because of the way UAPA, or the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, had been interpreted. This will be heard next month, the Supreme Court said as it issued notices to the activists and stressed that the High Court order could not, in the meantime, be used as precedent for other cases.
Their release had been opposed by Delhi Police, which said the High Court, in permitting bail, had "conducted a mini-trial and recorded perverse findings which are contrary to the record".
At today's hearing Delhi Police asked the Supreme Court to "stay the (High Court) order because (it) virtually records the acquittal of the accused" and others would seek bail using this as precedent.
"(Delhi) High Court watered down UAPA (and) it had been turned upside down," Delhi Police claimed. The court acknowledged that discussing all laws in a bail hearing was "something very surprising", and said: "We agree. There are many questions that arise. The issue is important and can have pan-India ramifications. We would like to issue notice and hear the other side."
However, the court also noted that bail had, in fact, been granted.
"They (the activists) will not be affected, but we will stay the effect of the High Court order," it said. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta (appearing for Delhi Police) and senior advocate Kapil Sibal (appearing for the activists) agreed with the court's decision on both counts.

Long Axis – A straight line that divides the ice surface into two halves lengthwise (midline).
Short Axis – A straight line that divides the ice surface into two halves crosswise.
Continuous Axis – An imaginary line running around the ice surface that serves as the basis for the dance pattern. Usually the continuous axis consists of two lines running parallel to the long axis of the ice surface, approximately halfway between the long axis and the sides. These lines are joined at each end of the ice surface by a semi-circle. These semi-circles are flattened in some dances so that they run parallel to the ends of the ice surface. In circular dances, such as the Kilian, the continuous axis approximates a circle. The continuous axis of the Paso Doble is an oval.
Transverse Axis – An imaginary line intersecting the continuous axis of a dance at right angles.
The pattern of a dance is the design of the dance on the ice. The diagram of a dance includes all the information needed to execute one complete pattern of the dance.
Set Pattern Dance – A dance for which the location, direction and curvature of all edges to be skated are designated in the diagram. This diagram must be followed as closely as possible.
Optional Pattern Dance – A dance for which the pattern may be altered by a couple provided that the original step sequences, positions and timing are maintained. Each repetition of the altered pattern must be executed in the same manner and the restart must be commenced from the same place.
Rim/Edge/Border Dance – A dance whose step sequence requires a shorter or longer distance than is available in one circuit of the rink. The second sequence, therefore, will not begin at the original starting point of the dance.
Lobe – Any sequence of steps on one side of the continuous axis that is approximately semi-circular in shape.
Beat – A note defining the regular recurring divisions of a piece of music.
Tempo – The speed of music in beats or measures per minute.
Rhythm – The regularly repeated pattern of accented and unaccented beat which give the music its character.
Measure (Bar) – A unit of music which is defined by the periodic recurrence of the accent. Such units are equal duration.
While it may be technically correct to skate to the minor accent (weak beat), the resulting interpretation and expression of the character of the dance is not correct and must be penalized by the judges.
Introductory Steps – All Compulsory dances may be started with optional introductory steps. They shall not exceed the introductory phrasing.
Start – The first step after the introductory steps. The referee may announce the approximate location at which the dances must be started.
Step Sequence – The prescribed order of the steps that compose one pattern of a Pattern Dance (formerly Compulsory Dance) or any portion thereof, or a series of steps prescribed or unprescribed in an Short (formerly Original)/Free/Interpretive Dance.

Can Music Help With Anxiety
Are Some Types Of Music Better For Reducing Stress
How Music Can Help Reduce PTSD and Anxiety.
Certain genres of lyric-less music, like classical and ambient, are historically the subject of most research studies into music and stress. While theres evidence that they can reduce stress and anxiety, that doesnt mean theyre better than other genres of music.
For many of the studies mentioned in this article, music listening involved multiple genres or songs chosen by both the participants and the researchers. In fact, the American Music Therapy Association states that All styles of music can be useful in effecting change in a client or patients life.
We also use different kinds of music for different purposes. Since we all have special relationships with our favorite songs and genres, we can use those to invoke certain emotions and feelings unique to that relationship. For example:
Classical music is associated with a soothing, calming effect.
Rap music can be inspiring and motivating when in a low mood or dealing with difficult life circumstances.
Heavy metal music can enhance identity development and help you become better-adjusted.
Musicians, researchers, and music therapists have actually claimed to create the most relaxing song ever, called Weightless. But youll have to decide for yourself.
Music Can Improve Motivation
There is a good reason why you find it easier to exercise while you listen to music. Researchers have found that listening to fast-paced music motivates people to work out harder.
One experiment designed to investigate this effect tasked 12 healthy male students with cycling on a stationary bike at self-paced speeds. On three different trials, the participants biked for 25 minutes at a time while listening to a playlist of six different popular songs of various tempos.
Unknown to the listeners, the researchers made subtle differences to the music and then measured performance. The music was left at a normal speed, increased by 10%, or decreased by 10%.
Speeding up the tracks resulted in increased performance in terms of distance covered, the speed of pedaling, and power exerted. Conversely, slowing down the music's tempo led to decreases in all of these variables.
So if you are trying to stick to a workout routine, consider loading up a playlist filled with fast-paced tunes that will help boost your motivation and enjoyment of your exercise regimen.
Music Can Be A Lifeline
Music is a form of communication and a language that we all speak without even realizing. For those with ASD, it can be a lifeline and something that can help you to become a happier and more expressive person.

The same focus, precision, and expression that enables you to play beautifully may also help you engage with others and work more constructively with groups. Certain studies point to increased social skills in those who play music, which on its own can be immeasurably helpful for ones mental and emotional wellbeing.

How Music Can Help Soothe Stress Anxiety And The Soul
People are turning to music as a refuge and a tool to help them cope, communicate, and create community during uncertain times.
It is dark in this beat-up bar, with bartenders buzzing around busily as the restless standing-room-only crowd shouts demands for the nights band to appear. The group makes its entrance, waving and pointing at friends, laughing at the happily uproarious response, and launching into the first song of its set.
At least, thats what was supposed to happen this past Saturday night, when my vocal band was scheduled to perform at a popular music venue. But coronavirus has shuttered the barand dashed any hopes for a typical concert experience, there or anywhere elsefor the foreseeable future.
Of all the losses a person can experience during the pandemic, music is, of course, not the worst. But for me, singing has been a saving grace ever since I performed the oddly mature song The Rose in a second-grade showcase. When Im depressed, music is one of my medicines. And performing it provides a high unlike any Ive ever experienced.
Research backs this up. Using music to soothe the soul is a strategy thats supported by science, with studies showing that listening to songs can reduce your heart rate, blood pressure, and anxiety, and distract your body from pain. Singing can release oxytocin, also known as the cuddle hormone, and dopamine, which helps control the brains reward and pleasure centers.
How It Helps With Depression
Studies suggest that music therapy can improve symptoms of depression, with those undergoing music therapy along with standard treatments for depression such as talking therapy improving more than people who only received standard therapy.
Listening to music can also release dopamine, which is a hormone that makes people feel good, and endorphins, which are hormones that can induce happy moods and relieve pain.
Although music therapy is not a cure for depression, it can offer

Music Reduces Stress And Eases Anxiety
Music has a unique link to our emotions, and research has found that it can be used as an extremely effective stress management tool.
Just like listening to slow music to calm the body, music can also have a relaxing effect on the mind. Researchers at Stanford University found that listening to music seems to be able to change brain functioning to the same extent as medication. Since music is so widely available and inexpensive, its an easy stress reduction option.
So, what type of music reduces stress best? Heres what we found:
Native American, Celtic, Indian stringed-instruments, drums and flutes
sounds of rain, thunder and nature sounds
light jazz, classical and easy listening music
You must be the ultimate judge, however, of relaxing music. If Mozart isnt quite doing it for you, explore other options that help you naturally relax.
HelpGuide.org, a nonprofit mental health and well-being organization encourages individuals to practice a healthy sonic diet. They suggest that when choosing locations to eat, hold business meetings, or visit with friends, be conscious of the sound environment, including the noise level and type of music that is played. Loud noisy environments, as much as we try to ignore them, can contribute to unconscious stress and tension build-up without us even knowing it.

Releasing Stress Through The Power Of Music
How can music help with anxiety during the COVID-19 crisis?
Music can have a profound effect on both the emotions and the body. Faster music can make you feel more alert and concentrate better. Upbeat music can make you feel more optimistic and positive about life. A slower tempo can quiet your mind and relax your muscles, making you feel soothed while releasing the stress of the day. Music is effective for relaxation and stress management.
Research confirms these personal experiences with music. Current findings indicate that music around 60 beats per minute can cause the brain to synchronize with the beat causing alpha brainwaves . This alpha brainwave is what is present when we are relaxed and conscious. To induce sleep , a person may need to devote at least 45 minutes, in a relaxed position, listening to calming music. Researchers at Stanford University have said that "listening to music seems to be able to change brain functioning to the same extent as medication." They noted that music is something that almost anybody can access and makes it an easy stress reduction tool.
Music Can Help You Eat Less
One of the most surprising psychological benefits of music is that it might be a helpful weight-loss tool. If you are trying to lose weight, listening to mellow music and dimming the lights might help you achieve your goals.
According to one study, people who ate at low-lit restaurants where soft music was played consumed 18% less food than those who ate in other restaurants.
The researchers suggest that music and lighting help create a more relaxed setting. Since the participants were more relaxed and comfortable, they may have consumed their food more slowly and have been more aware of when they began to feel full.
You might try putting this into practice by playing soft music at home while you eat dinner. By creating a relaxing setting, you may be more likely to eat slowly and, therefore, feel fuller sooner.
Virtual Reality Experience Questionnaire
Figure 2 summarizes the boxplots for the different questions included in the virtual reality experience questionnaire . In order to assess possible differences between the conditions, we ran an ordered logistic regression analysis on each questionnaire item, including Group as a fixed factor and AQ as a covariate. For the questions presence, realism, real vs. virtual, and attention to scene, no main effects of Group or AQ were found.
FIGURE 2.Boxplot of VR related questions for the variables presence, realism, stressful, real vs virtual, fear of falling, and attention paid to the scene, sound of the elevator and the beep sound.
It Can Lead To Better Learning
Doctors at Johns Hopkins recommend that you listen to music to stimulate your brain. Scientists know that listening to music engages your brain they can see the active areas light up in MRI scans.
Researchers now know that just the promise of listening to music can make you want to learn more. In one 2019 study, people were more motivated to learn when they expected to listen to a song as their reward.
Music Can Improve Endurance And Performance
Another important psychological benefit of music lies in its ability to boost performance. While people have a preferred step frequency when walking and running, scientists have discovered that the addition of a strong, rhythmic beat, such as fast-paced musical track, could inspire people to pick up the pace.
Runners are not only able to run faster while listening to music they also feel more motivated to stick with it and display greater endurance. The ideal tempo for workout music is somewhere between 125 and 140 beats per minute.
While research has found that synchronizing body movements to music can lead to better performance and increased stamina, the effect tends to be the most pronounced in cases of low to moderate intensity exercise. In other words, the average person is more likely to reap the rewards of listening to music more than a professional athlete might.
So why does music boost workout performance? Listening to music while working out lowers a person's perception of exertion. You're working harder, but it doesn't seem like you're putting forth more effort. Because your attention is diverted by the music, you are less likely to notice the obvious signs of exertion such as increased respiration, sweating, and muscle soreness.

What Is Social Anxiety
First, letâs talk about what social anxiety actually is. Social anxiety is the experience of extreme fear of or apprehension about social situations. This can include, but is not limited to, being afraid of embarrassment and humiliation in a social setting, or avoiding social situations due to severe anxiety. Simply even thinking about social situations may trigger stress.
Itâs completely normal for a person to experience nervousness when going into a social gathering or meeting new people everyone feels this fear sometimes. However, social anxiety is more severe and often makes it difficult for people to function in their everyday lives. Having social anxiety can interfere with a personâs life at home, work, school, or in relationships.
There are a variety of situations that can trigger a person's social anxiety. Below is a list of some of the more common triggers:
Meeting new or unfamiliar people
Being the center of attention .
Being watched or observed
Having to make eye contact
Having to say something in a public setting
Being exposed to these situations can have a variety of effects on someone with social anxiety. This includes physical, emotional, and behavioral effects. Common effects of being exposed to a social situation include:
Self-isolation
Excessive drinking and/or substance abuse
Music And Children With Asd
Music and its associated therapy works wonders across the entirety of the autism spectrum. However, you will find that some of the clearest and most promising results are in those who are non-verbal. There are a number of studies that have shown those who are non-verbal have been able to use music as a way to interact and express emotions that they would not have been able to before.
Even the simplest instruments are able to open a whole new range of emotions for them. Brain scans show that the areas of the brain where language is stored look the same in those communicating with words as it does with music. This shows that it really is a different form of socialization and one that everyone can understand.

Fitness Tips: Stay Healthy, Manage Stress
For the biggest benefits of exercise, try to include at least 2½ hours of moderate-intensity physical activity each week, 1¼ hours of a vigorous-intensity activity , or a combination of the two.
5 X 30: Jog, walk, bike, or dance three to five times a week for 30 minutes.
Set small daily goals and aim for daily consistency rather than perfect workouts. It's better to walk every day for 15-20 minutes than to wait until the weekend for a three-hour fitness marathon. Lots of scientific data suggests that frequency is most important.
Find forms of exercise that are fun or enjoyable. Extroverted people often like classes and group activities. People who are more introverted often prefer solo pursuits.
Distract yourself with an iPod or other portable media player to download audiobooks, podcasts, or music. Many people find its more fun to exercise while listening to something they enjoy.
Recruit an exercise buddy. It's often easier to stick to your exercise routine when you have to stay committed to a friend, partner, or colleague.
Be patient when you start a new exercise program. Most sedentary people require about four to eight weeks to feel coordinated and sufficiently in shape so that exercise feels easier.

How Does Music Relieve Stress
Music connects with the automatic nervous systembrain function, blood pressure, and heartbeatand the limbic system, where your feelings and emotions live.
If you feel threatened, your nervous system releases stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. Listening to music can switch the stress response to off and help your mind and emotions recover from stress faster than they would without music.
Music Can Help Manage Pain
Research has shown that music can be very helpful in the management of pain. One study of fibromyalgia patients found that those who listened to music for just one hour a day experienced a significant reduction in pain compared to those in a control group.
At the end of the four-week study period, participants who had listened to music each day experienced significant reductions in feelings of pain and depression. Such results suggest that music therapy could be an important tool in the treatment of chronic pain.
A 2015 review of research on the effects of music on pain management found that patients who listened to music before, during, or even after surgery experienced less pain and anxiety than those who did not listen to music.
While listening to music at any point in time was effective, the researchers noted that listening to music pre-surgery resulted in better outcomes. The review looked at data from more than 7,000 patients and found that music listeners also required less medication to manage their pain. There was also a slightly greater, though not statistically significant, improvement in pain management results when patients were allowed to select their own music.
