10 W&L Football Players Earn All-ODAC Honors
SALEM, Va. -- The Old Dominion Athletic Conference released its postseason football honors on Tuesday, November 23. Washington and Lee senior quarterback Christian Batcheller (Stuart, Va./Patrick County) finished a stellar career with his second consecutive First Team All-ODAC selection. Batcheller, a three-year starter for the Generals, was joined on the first team by junior offensive lineman Justin Holton (Pittsburg, Texas/Pittsburg).
Batcheller finishes his W&L career as the all-time leading passer in ODAC history with 6,146 yards. On the season, he completed 178-of-313 passes for 2,273 yards and 15 touchdowns.
Holton, the Generals' starting right guard, was named to the All-ODAC Second Team in 1998. This year, he helped anchor an offensive line that allowed only only 12 sacks all season.
W&L dominated the second team, placing six players on the squad. W&L earned three selections each from offense and defense. Players selected from the W&L offense include senior wide reciever J.T. Malatesta (Washington D.C./Landon), freshman tailback Chris Sullivan (San Antonio, Texas/Alamo Heights), and junior offensive lineman Colin Fitzgibbons (Dallas, Texas/Hillcrest). On the defensive side of the ball, junior free safety Will Baker (Birmingham, Ala./Mountain Brook), junior linebacker Jayson Lipsey (Longwood, Fla./Lake Brantley), and sophomore linebacker Jeff Bahl (Cincinnati, Ohio/Cincinnati Country Day) earned second team laurels.
The Generals also placed two athletes on the ODAC Honorable Mention list. Earning the spots were freshman tight-end Davis White (Birmingham/ Ala./Episcopal (Va.)), and junior strong safety Andy Robinson (Houston, Texas/Memorial).

A mature 50 acre gravel pit located in South Harefield. The water is surrounded by good cover and adjacent to the Grand Union canal. Members can access many swims by car or by walking up to 500 meters from their vehicle, which can be left in one of the 3 car parks around the water.
The lake suffered a complete oxygen crash in August 2017 and at the present time the Society is undertaking a re-stocking programme. The first phase was completed in February 2018 when the last of 165 Carp varying in size between 4lb and 22lb were introduced. These fish were sourced from both VS Fisheries and Lower Berryfield Fisheries with various blood lines selected for both looks and expected growth rates. The Society is now planning the second phase of the stocking programme which will see the introduction of more species of course fish including Roach, Perch, Tench and Bream.
A map of the countours of the lake is available here.

Plasma displays are generally considered to offer better dark-room viewing and wider viewing angles than LCD. Plasma TVs are available in sizes from 37 inches to over 100 inches, measured diagonally. Plasma can be vulnerable to burn-in, a phenomenon in which faint, permanent "ghosts" appear on displays that have maintained a fixed image for long periods of time. Examples of such images include the bars seen when watching 4:3 video on a widescreen display or the constantly running ticker seen on some shows or channels. Most newer models have burn-in prevention features, but these may not always be 100% effective. However, some plasma TVs also have the ability to remove burn-in should it occur.
Vendors of plasma TVs include Fujitsu, Funai, Gradiente, Lanix, LG, Panasonic, Proscan, Samsung and Sanyo.
Pros: Wide viewing angles. The black-level performance (the intensity of black in the display) compensates for ambient light and sharpens the picture. Excellent picture quality in higher-end models. Not as bulky as rear projection TVs. Wall-mountable. High refresh rate means that the picture is smoother and there is no motion blur. Burn-in is possible but not usually a problem with newer models.
Cons: Consume significantly more power than LCD TV of similar size. Slightly heavier than LCD. Glass screen can reflect light unless treated to be less reflective.

Read Terry's statement, "Why I Support the GTMRx Institute"
"$528 billion spent on non-optimized drug therapy is heartbreaking- these are people's lives and the result of a splintered, uncoordinated system.
Everybody is looking for solutions. When you consider that 85% of the means by which we prevent illness and control disease is with medications, this has to be a focal point to improve health care.
We're at this critical juncture where scientific knowledge is not being translated quickly enough into clinical practice. We're on the cusp of the movement from population health to precision medicine. We can increase the speed of that if we all come together and map the path to effective use of medications."

I know nothing about plants. Having procrastinated for months after a warning from our gardener, I finally called the arborist. Something about beetles and trees, apparently we needed to act quickly.
He showed up the next morning and I learned more than I did in the entire high school botany course that I wanted to sleep through. The news was fascinating and tragic.
We have probably ten cypress trees on our property. They grow quickly, creating instantaneous, natural privacy. But then you stop watering them. A cypress will work with the nutrients it has, thereby offering you control of it's maturation. Ideal really, feed and water the heck out of it and then keep it the size you want. Had we been the original owners, I'm sure we would have done the same. The trees are our favorite part of the property. We've got postage stamp lawns and close neighbors, so the lush shade keeps the environment quiet and serene.
The arborist presented a two-edged sword. You can only starve a tree for so long. Stunted growth leads to a weakened defense, making it susceptible to bugs and disease. However, if we nourish the soil and give it what it wants, we'll have healthy trees and a problem that's outgrown our purpose.
The worst of them is oozing sickly yellow sap everywhere. It's called weeping. Later that day, I wept too. This cypress was manipulated and used. Planted in a place for the convenience of another, but not for the life and beauty it's meant to display. An evergreen only accepted as long as it doesn't take too much and offers everything in return. Fulfilling obligations instead of thriving. Parched with thirst it has waited on others to allow it to grow.
A metaphor for a life managed by rejection and fear.
The grief before me calls my imagination to a path of confident healing. Like a tree, the Psalmist says.
What if the Cypress started drinking living water on it's own, recovering, mending, growing into a magnificent trophy of a Creator's rescue? Severing its dependence on the plans and desires of man? Those who used its weakness for their own comfort would be threatened. The foundations of their carefully constructed home disturbed, while dignity and strength bloomed in the front yard, and they watched their efforts to deadened, stunt, weaken, and discourage become thwarted at every turn. Boundaries of disdain overgrown by boughs of fragrant, living wonder. They didn't know that a Cypress is a symbol for endurance. And if they bring their axe, her fallen boards will become holy ground for the temple, dressed in pure gold, a place of safe haven for those in a flood, a canopy over trysting lovers, sharpened spears for the defense of God's chosen people, or instruments played in worship. The Cypress is showing me that when definition and purpose comes from the Lord, whether in life or death, you will always be fashioned for His splendor in glory to the shame of your enemies.
It was an ancient Jewish custom in Bethel to plant a cedar for the birth of a boy, or a cypress for a girl. I want to heal the broken tree in my front yard, as an Ebenezer of hope that God heals our broken hearts. I want it to thrive and grow as long as I possibly can before it ruins a water line. Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes with the morning.

Huntington Beach, CA —Today, the State Water Resources Control Board approved the long-awaited seawater desalination amendment to the state's Ocean Plan. The new policy confirms that seawater desalination facilities can be sited, built, and operated without significant, unmitigable impacts to coastal and marine resources, and reinforces the role seawater desalination will play in addressing current and future water demand across California.
The State Water Board's approval of the seawater desalination policy affirms the discretion of the state's nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards to determine on a project and site-specific basis compliance with the California Water Code (Porter-Cologne), which requires projects to use the best available site, design, technology and mitigation measures feasible to minimize the intake and mortality of marine life.
The State Water Resources Control Board also adopted into the Ocean Plan Amendment a definition of feasibility that states, "Feasible shall mean capable of being accomplished in a successful manner within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, social, and technological factors." This is the same legal definition of feasibility utilized by the Coastal Commission under the Coastal Act as well as under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Governor Brown's California's Water Action Plan highlights the benefits that desalination provides to regions across the state, as a tool to both improve water supply reliability and increase self-reliance at the regional and local level. The State Water Board's action on the latest desalination amendment will provide greater clarity to regional boards and other permitting agencies – further improving the permitting process for much needed water supplies while protecting California's environment.
This latest action takes place following executive orders signed by Governor Jerry Brown and extensive statements from his administration about the need to provide certainty and inject timeliness into the water project permitting process. Last week, the Governor called on his Office of Planning and Research to help local water agencies reduce the time required to comply with state-required environmental reviews. In early-April, the Governor signed Executive Order B-29- 15, which prioritized state review and decision-making of any water infrastructure projects.
Poseidon Water specializes in developing and financing water infrastructure projects, primarily seawater desalination and water treatment plants. These projects are implemented through innovative public-private partnerships in which private enterprise assumes the developmental and financial risks.

© Susan Walsh President Donald Trump gets out of his car to board Air Force One at Minneapolis-Saint Paul Air Reserve Station in Minneapolis on April 15, 2019. "They got asked questions and told the truth and now they're worried the wrath will follow," one former White House official said.
Some of those who spoke with Mueller's team, such as former White House counsel Don McGahn, witnessed Trump's actions up close and were privy to key moments in the obstruction investigation and spent many hours with investigators.
Fueling officials' concern is that Attorney General William Barr hasn't been clear about what the report might entail. Barr has said he wants to make as much of the report public as he can, while also making clear parts of it will be redacted for grand jury testimony, classified information and material that could affect ongoing investigations. He also said information that could "infringe on the personal privacy" and reputations of "peripheral third parties" could be redacted, a phrase unclear to some witnesses in the investigation.

We are Launching! Community Activism Guide for Women Rights
The SIHA Community Activism Guide for Women Rights provides a critical analysis of women movements and organisations in the Horn of Africa
A review by Lyn Ossome
Community activism is acknowledged as being a core component of the work of women's rights and human rights organisations. As a strategic and long-term endeavour, it carries the objectives of understanding the social, political, cultural and economic contexts within which women's rights activists work, and seeking to actively change or enhance the viability of working in these environments. Community activism also bears the objective of deepening links with local grassroots communities and understanding the needs within these communities; and thirdly, it is critical for activists to nurture deeper understanding among various stakeholders and interest groups regarding their work, objectives and vision.
The Community Activism Guides (CAG); four papers developed by SIHA network were as such not the work of an individual, nor the organisation alone, but rather, the result of months of conversations, interactions, interviews, and discussions among the SIHA research team and many generous members who comprise the organisation's network. These papers are the outcome of a qualitative research study that was conducted between November 2011 and July 2012 in four countries in the region: Somaliland, Sudan, South Sudan and Ethiopia.
In each of these four countries, the research team conducted interviews with many different groups of stakeholders, ranging from influential individuals in the community, members of local government, traditional leaders and elders, religious leaders, state officials, women leaders of non-governmental organisations and community based organisations, and various compositions of focus groups. This qualitative research process drew richly on various methods, including informal conversations, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions.
The outcomes of this research process –are reflections of the challenges and desires communicated to us by all the men and women who generously shared their work and narratives of struggles with us. Much of what have emerged as activism strategies within these papers is, therefore, a direct outcome of the inputs given to us, complemented by critical analysis on our part. In other words, we have tried as much as possible to retain the organic content drawn from the research process, and hope that each of you shall hear your voices reflected with sincerity in these pages.
While the issues that women in the Horn of Africa are dealing with appear to be remarkably similar across countries, there are, however, many nuanced differences in the ways in which women's rights and human rights activists approach these issues and are responding to the same issues in each country. For instance, in all four countries, activists are confronted by questions of the law, both customary and formal, which manifest differently depending on the cultural and political environment. In Sudan, criminalisation of personal behaviour and corporal punishment such as flogging and stoning to death of women continues to pose serious challenges to the humanity of women and the realization of women's human rights. Both these laws are an evocation of deeply patriarchal Islamic doctrines naturalised into formal laws. But while Sudanese women are seeking to challenge these repressive legal regimes through very public campaigns and advocacy, often facing harassment, intimidation and even death, their counterparts in South Sudan stand at a more ambivalent position with regards to women's human and legal rights. For while a constitutional review process and various state interventions there seek to guarantee certain rights to women, customary law remains the 'living' law, undermining the values of constitutionalism, and continue to prevent women from accessing real power to participate in politics, let alone write more gender-positive laws. In Somaliland, the problems with the law relate largely to who can or cannot access legal redress, and also the conflict between customary law and formal law. Thus, while laws exist that ought to promote the rights of all women, those women deemed as belonging to minority groups have virtually no access to legal and judicial protection or remedy, even where such institutions exist and function. In Ethiopia, the Charities and Proclamation Law (CSO Law) of 2005 has imposed far-reaching restrictions on the work of human rights and women's rights organisations, and many organisations have had to redefine their work, reconsider their strategies and reconceptualise the ways in which they could still achieve their objectives. The barriers created by this law have nonetheless spurred new and ingenious strategies for community organising. But such ingenuity is not restricted to Ethiopia alone, for one of the most significant observations from this study is the ways in which women's organisation and activists continue to seek creative, resourceful and inspiring ways of overcoming the many hurdles they face on a day to day basis in the course of their work.
Yet a number of significant challenges to community activism and organizing around human rights in all four countries persist, and are a reflection of the inherent weaknesses of women's rights organisations in relation to existing complex political, cultural and social situations. These issues are intertwined, and are discussed in relation to each other in the sections below.
The NGOization of the women's movement is a term used to describe the formation or proliferation, not of NGOs per se, but of particular kinds of NGOs. Such NGOs have been associated with a backlash against a feminist agenda and principles which were critical in the organisation of women's movements not just in Africa, but globally. The rapid rise of NGOs from the early 1990s under political and economic liberalisation and, as Sonia Alvares (2008) notes in relation to Latin America, through the promotion of more politically collaborative and more technically proficient feminist practices were what triggered what she calls the NGO boom. This boom challenged and ultimately unsettled the hybrid identities of many feminist NGOs in that region, leading some of them to place empowerment goals and a wide range of movement-oriented activities on the strategic back burner. They were replaced on the front burner with "demonstrable impact", short-term projects, large scale workshops and forums, and more overt participation in the policy arena.
In other regions, as Aida Touma (2008) shows, NGOization became visible as women moved increasingly into project-oriented work, delivering services to women, focusing on issue of violence against women and personal issues. Those kinds of activities have resulted in organisations moving away from their own constituencies, from mass organization, and becoming more professionalized and technocratic. The results are the activists are vanishing away from the women movement little by little. This has created a huge gap between the discourses used by NGOs in analysing the situation and the real activism on the ground (Touma 2008). The gap between the grassroots women and the elite women providing leadership in organisations and movements continues to drive deep wedges between women in the Horn region, and the ability to mobilize and organize masses of women when it is crucial and needed is being lost.
The elitism of the women's movement, observed particularly in Ethiopia and Sudan, also bears a big cost for the specific objectives of pursuing a progressive women's human rights agenda that is independent of other elite forces and sections in society. In Sudan, this is particularly evident in relation to the extent of influence which the fundamentalist Islamic regime has been able to fund its own cause by compromising numerous NGOs through the leadership, to champion a reactionary, anti-woman agenda. In a funding environment in which traditional funding channels have been deliberately frustrated and restricted, many women's organisations, desperate for survival, have found themselves at the mercy of the state. It is for this reason that feminists are facing a serious backlash in their attempts to organise against punitive, misogynist laws, and why cultural pundits are experiencing a resurgence of life as scared and intimidated communities retreat further and further away from perceived threats from the 'international community' represented locally by NGOs.
A final dimension of the challenges we observed in the course of this study is what could be read as a failure of the women's movement to see and respond to emerging dynamics that are directly impacting on the status of women in the region which include religion, state politics, international and regional dynamics and corruption. This failure is also manifesting in the relative diminishing of the women's movements as a relevant political and social force, and poses serious challenges for the work towards empowering women to claim their rights. Women's machineries in all four countries under the study are increasingly being co-opted by the state, and the leverage of the movement to lobby, petition, advice, and influence policy is substantially weakened.
These are issues that women's movements must once again take seriously if they are to become effective and survive. Feminist NGOs in the Horn region must, as Alvares (2008) notes in relation to Latin America, begin to place movement work on the front burner. They must seek to rearticulate their agenda and create new bridges, or fortify existing ones, not only within the feminist field, but also with other civil society and social movement activists. This, as suggested in the Community Activism Guides, entails the work of committed documentation and archiving of our struggles, dedicating more resources to critical research activities, sharpening our knowledge of our political and social contexts, and most of all, seeking to once again reconnect with the organic struggles in our communities.

Q: AFNetworking Memory Using AFNetworking to download files from a server. Here's the code:
self.networkQueue = [[[NSOperationQueue alloc] init] autorelease];
[networkQueue setMaxConcurrentOperationCount:3];

for(NSDictionary* fileDictionary in self.syncArray) {
    @autoreleasepool {

        if([[fileDictionary allKeys] containsObject:@"downloadZipURL"]) {
            NSString* downloadPath = [fileDictionary objectForKey:@"downloadZipURL"];
            downloadPath = [downloadPath stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
            NSURLRequest *requestURL = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:downloadPath]];

            NSString* localDestPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/%@", [FileUtil userDocumentsDirectory], [downloadPath lastPathComponent]];
            NSString* localTempPath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.tmp", localDestPath];
            [(NSMutableDictionary*)fileDictionary setObject:localDestPath forKey:@"downloadDestination"];

            AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:requestURL];
            operation.outputStream = [NSOutputStream outputStreamToFileAtPath:localDestPath append:NO];
            operation.userInfo = fileDictionary;

            [operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
                if (networkQueue.operationCount == 0)
                {
                    if(hasDownloadError || isCancellingSync) {
                        return ;
                    }

                    [self performSelectorInBackground:@selector(processAllFiles) withObject:nil];

                }

            } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
                NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
            }];

            //            [operation setDownloadProgressBlock:^(NSUInteger bytesWritten, long long totalBytesWritten, long long totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {
            //                NSLog(@"Sent %lld of %lld bytes, %@", totalBytesWritten, totalBytesExpectedToWrite, localDestPath);
            //                float progress = (float)totalBytesWritten/(float)totalBytesExpectedToWrite;
            //                [(NSMutableDictionary*)operation.userInfo setObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Downloading %.0f%%", progress*100] forKey:@"downloadStatus"];
            //                [(NSMutableDictionary*)operation.userInfo setObject:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:progress] forKey:@"downloadProgress"];
            //                [syncViewController onPermitUpdated];
            //            }];

            [networkQueue addOperation:operation];
        }
    }
}

My problem is that once this code is run, memory slowly gets eaten up and never given back. Now, these can be large files, which is why I used the outputStream.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A: Off the top of my head - I see that you're not using ARC.
 AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:requestURL]
Are you releasing this operation somewhere?
 [operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
                if (networkQueue.operationCount == 0)
                {
                    if(hasDownloadError || isCancellingSync) {
                        return ;
                    }

                    [self performSelectorInBackground:@selector(processAllFiles) withObject:nil];

                }

Here, you're using the networkQueue in the completionBlock and the block retains the networkQueue, you then add the operation to the networkQueue, which retains the operation, which leads to neither of them deallocating. Try making a weak variable of the networkQueue and use that in order to break the cycle.

William Edwin Brown, Birth Date: 23 January 1851, Death Date: 28 February 1910,
William Dearborn Brown, his wife, and family joined up with the Walling Company. However, they were not listed in the (Emigration List for Spring, 1860) company roster. William Dearborn's account of the journey mentions his wife and family. Also, The obituaries of Amasa David Brown, state that Amasa, William Dearborn Brown, and Harriet Francis Hatch Brown came to Utah together in 1860.

More research is needed to confirm William's date of birth as secondary and indirect sources support both a birth year of 1851 and 1852. At this time, the date listed reflects family tradition from Family Tree at FamilySearch.org.

Voz de Fuego (en inglés:Voice of Fire) es una pintura abstracta, acrílico sobre lienzo realizada por el pintor norteamericano Barnett Newman en 1967. La obra extremadamente simple muestra tres franjas verticales contiguas de igual ancho, la franja central es roja, y a cada lado se ubica una franja azul.

La compra de Voz de Fuego por la National Gallery of Canada en Ottawa para su colección permanente en 1989 a un precio de $1.8 millones de dólares causó gran controversia. Algunos habitantes de Ottawa se burlaron de la compra imprimiendo remeras y corbatas que era similares a la pintura. Un libro titulado Voices of Fire: Art Rage, Power, and the State, editado por Bruce Barber, Serge Guilbaut y John O'Brian, y publicado en 1996, analiza la controversia sobre la compra de esta pintura.

Robust stability inside a truncated sector is studied. The minimal degree of stability (resp. the minimal damping ratio) is chosen as 0.3 (resp. 0.4). The nominal degree of stability (resp. the nominal damping ratio) is 0.49 (resp. 0.62).

Note here again the good accuracy of the p interval at nearly all frequencies, and the discontinuity of the p bounds by Zadeh and Desoer and by Dailey at и = 0: p w 0.12 at и = 0, while p « 0.06 at very low frequencies. The real s. s.v. is thus discontinuous at the zero frequency.

the presence of uncertainties in the aerodynamic model.
When analyzing robust stability inside the left half plane, two peaks were obtained at ш = 0 (the real ц was discontinuous at this frequency) and at medium frequencies ( a a 1 4.4 sa4/s( . In the same way, when analyzing robust stability inside a truncated sector, two peaks are here again obtained at u> = 0 and at medium frequencies (со и 13.6 rad/s).
As a final point, Figure 6.4 presents the results obtained with the four fj, upper bounds (classical complex /r upper bound in solid line, real ц upper bound by Jones in dashed line, mixed ц upper bound by Fan et al in dash-dotted line, real ц upper bound by Zadeh and Desoer in dotted line). The same comments can be done as for Figure 6.2.

Looted $1M 'Quarter Shekel' coin returned to Israel by NYC prosecutors
A rare silver coin — valued at $1 million — that was looted from an archeological site in Israel has been returned to the country, Manhattan prosecutors said this week.
The quarter shekel was minted by Jewish rebels fighting the Roman empire during "The Great Jewish Revolt" in 69 C.E. and dug up in the Ella Valley years later.
The Israel Antiquities Authority learned in 2002 through multiple informants that the ancient coin — known as the "Year Four Quarter Shekel" — had been looted.
The coin is one of only two dating back to the revolt, which began in 66 C.E., that are known to exist. It was moved through the illicit antiquities markets until it was smuggled from Israel through Jordan to the UK, where it was offered at a London auction in 2017.
