Frank Gore Has Been So Good For So Long
Filed to:frank gore

Frank Gore was not supposed to be in the NFL for over a decade. He was not supposed to recover from tearing both of his ACLs and then both of his labrums to build a no-doubt Hall of Fame career, and yet here he is, still a big part of an offense at age 35, still running, and still setting records. With this eight-yard rush against the Jets yesterday, Gore passed Curtis Martin to climb up to fourth on the NFL's all-time rushing leaderboard. It was a classic Gore run, as he dragged a pair of defenders forward to claw out a few extra yards after getting hit.
The NFL is a meat grinder of a league, where careers are short and every single player is a replaceable cog whose chief value to their team comes during their rookie contracts and franchise-tag seasons, before they either have to be paid fairly for their labor or cast off in favor of the next cheap 22-year-old. The salary cap and the ever-present threat of catastrophic injury hold this system in place. This cruel reality is most acutely felt by running backs, and teams are hesitant to commit to even the very best backs out of a combination of injury worry and the cynical if not necessarily correct assumption that they can replace a reasonable percentage of a back's top-end production at a fraction of the cost through the draft.
All of which is to point out that players like Frank Gore shouldn't exist. But Gore has remained productive far beyond the point when most star running backs tail off. He currently has a record 12-season streak of 1,200 or more yards from scrimmage. He has played in all 16 games for seven years running, and he looks like he'll get plenty of playing time for the Dolphins in 2018. He's outlasted basically every other back from the mid-2000s (the first three backs selected in the same draft as Gore were Ronnie Brown, Cedric Benson, and Cadillac Williams, to give you a sense of how long he's been doing this), despite five potentially ruinous injuries, and survived to compete for a job against a dude 11 years his junior.
And yet Gore doesn't have the widespread recognition of many—of any—of his peers on the all-time list, probably because he never really won much. Until 2011, the 49ers never finished over .500 with Gore in the backfield. Gore averaged 1,107 yards on 4.4 yards per carry in a decade with the Niners, but only appeared in three postseasons. His steady production has also never been especially sexy, at least for fantasy purposes: he topped 1,300 yards just once, and only scored double digit touchdowns once, in 2009. The truly special thing about Gore is that he just never slowed down.
Gore didn't want to leave San Francisco in 2014, and even though the team drafted Carlos Hyde in the second round, Gore has talked about how he would have been happy to fight for his job if the money had been right. He understood the realities of the market, but after overcoming devastating injuries and grinding for a decade, the idea of losing his job without someone earning it away from him did not make sense to him. As he told Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star in 2015:
"I mean, you could let us compete. You didn't have to say I was automatically going to take the back seat. Put it on me. I mean, bro, I finished last season with 1,100 yards. Every time I got opportunities, I did something with it. So, I felt like, 'Fine, if you want to go with the young guy, (make him) beat me out. It wasn't like I can't play anymore. If he beats me out, I can handle that. You can't play this game forever. I knew I couldn't be there forever. But I was there 10 years and I played every down the same whether we were winning or not."
Gore then played three seasons for mediocre Colts teams, nearly averaging 1,000 yards a season and comfortably outproducing Hyde.
Gore's teams' pedestrian win-loss records have kept him from being truly appreciated as an ironman in an age of rapidly shortening careers. It would be remarkable if anyone notched a 1,695-yard season shortly after tearing both knees and shoulders, but Gore was one of the best 10 or so running backs for a period that's five times as long as the average running back's career. Some of Gore's longevity can be chalked up to the fact that he is shaped like a tree stump and can get lower than most tacklers, though he could certainly also bust out big runs. In fact, he's one of only three running backs in NFL history with two touchdown runs of over 75 yards in a single game.
Gore needs 1,157 rushing yards to catch Barry Sanders for third all-time, and that will be a tough mark to reach this year since Kenyan Drake is clearly the lead back in Miami. Gore has talked about retiring in the recent past, but if he wants to keep playing, he's shown that he still has the talent and drive to maintain a career in one of sports' most inhospitable positions. Gore could definitely get there by helping a weirdly competitive Dolphins team over the next year or two, and he's not desperately chasing records past his sell-by date like, say, Adrian Peterson. He's also working cheap, earning just $1.1 million this season. The NFL is not a sentimental enough league for him to get carries out of charity.
If he doesn't catch Sanders, that's fine. Gore isn't in the NFL to make history. As he told Peter King last December:
"But if this is it, if this is my last year, I want everybody in the NFL to say, 'He was a football player. Period.'

GPAC in-state foes to visit Walz this week
By Jacob Knabel	on Oct. 26, 2020 in Volleyball
SEWARD, Neb. – The home stand continues for the Concordia University Volleyball program, which enters the week with a three-match win streak. Just three matches remain in the 2020 regular season as the Bulldogs near the finish line in terms of GPAC play. Head Coach Ben Boldt's squad looks forward to hosting College of Saint Mary on Wednesday and Doane on Thursday. It will mark the third time this season that Concordia has played in back-to-back days.
Wednesday, Oct. 28 vs. College of Saint Mary (7-8, 2-8 GPAC), 7:30 p.m.
-Live Webcast/Stats | 104.9 Max Country
Thursday, Oct. 29 vs. Doane (4-8, 2-8 GPAC), 7:30 p.m.
After defeating College of Saint Mary, Briar Cliff and Morningside last week, the Bulldogs (10-3 GPAC) have the inside track on the No. 3 spot in the GPAC standings. Concordia currently looks up in the standings at Jamestown (10-0) and Northwestern (10-1). Mathematically, three teams with five league losses also still have a shot at finishing top three: Dordt (10-5), Midland (5-5) and Hastings (3-5). With 10 conference wins, the Bulldogs need to win out in order to set a new program record for most GPAC victories in a single season (the 2015 team went 12-4).
Another rare feat is still attainable for this 2020 Concordia edition. Since the GPAC went to a 16-match conference regular season in 2002, the Bulldogs have never gone unbeaten against their in-state GPAC rivals. So far this season, Concordia is 5-0 versus the state of Nebraska having beaten Midland twice and College of Saint Mary, Doane and Hastings once apiece. The Bulldogs will be on the hunt for season sweeps of the latter three foes.
From an individual perspective, senior Kara Stark enjoyed a big week in collecting 34 combined kills over last week's three victories. On senior day on Oct. 24, Stark equaled a career best for a three-set match while pounding 15 kills (.519 hitting percentage). Other leaders over last week's action included Tara Callahan (117 assists), Marissa Hoerman (48 digs and seven aces) and Gabi Nordaker (14 blocks). In display of the team's balance, five Concordia players have reached the 100-kill mark on the season: Nordaker (119), Stark (114), Arleigh Costello (109), Camryn Opfer (108) and Kalee Wiltfong (102).
Wednesday's clash with College of Saint Mary will be the second meeting in a nine-day period. Concordia outhit the Flames, .275 to .197, in the matchup that took place in Omaha on Oct. 20. CSM will carry a seven-match losing streak into Walz. However, the Flames had a close battle (five sets) at home against Dordt this past weekend. The most recent victory for CSM came on Sept. 19 versus Dakota State University. Last season the Flames reached the GPAC tournament championship match and finished ranked 23rd in the NAIA.
Doane ended an eight-match skid this past weekend by outlasting Dakota Wesleyan in five sets. The Tigers got a big outing from outside hitter Gabby Menghini (14 kills on 26 swings) in the win. First-year Head Coach Jenna Jones' squad will be fighting for its GPAC postseason hopes down the stretch. Doane is currently tied with College of Saint Mary for 10th place in the conference standings. The Tigers have made seven national tournament appearances during the GPAC era.
The Bulldogs are slated to finish the regular season next Tuesday (Nov. 3) at Hastings (4-6, 3-5 GPAC). As announced earlier this fall, the GPAC tournament will not be played until the spring semester. Dates for the conference postseason event are yet to be announced. The NAIA Volleyball National Championship has been rescheduled and is set to begin on April 17, 2021, with the opening round.

Fast track to 50
With the win over Morningside this past Saturday, Ben Boldt picked up career victory No. 50 since taking over the program prior to the start of the 2018 season. Boldt is now 50-23 as head coach of the Bulldogs. The program's all-time winningest coach is Vicki Boye, who went 167-136 from 1989 through 1995. Of the program's all-time head coaches with 50 or more victories, Boldt's winning percentage of .685 ranks No. 1.

The GPAC continues to rank highly in Massey Ratings, the only ratings system publicly available this fall. The NAIA has chosen to unveil the first official NAIA top 25 poll of 2020-21 on Nov. 18. Based on the current Massey Ratings, there are four GPAC teams ranked in the top six of the NAIA: No. 1 Jamestown, No. 2 Northwestern, No. 5 Concordia and No. 6 Dordt. The ratings system does include teams that have not yet played in 2020.

I know, it isn't Wednesday. But my regular blog posts are Wednesdays, right? Why would I switch up my schedule?
BECAUSE KINETIC REBIRTH IS NOW AVAILABLE DIGITALLY ON KINDLE!!
Yes, that's right, friends. September 19th, 2017 has finally arrived, and I am so excited and beyond terrified at the same time. To me, this book is my greatest accomplishment, and my ultimate dedication to JV (If you don't know who she is, go read a few previous blog posts. Long story short, she was one of my best friends who was killed early this year, and I have inserted her as one of the heroes, being as true to who she was as I could manage). It'll give me a little bit of closure, knowing she will be forever immortalized in my writing. She was my beta reader, my inspiration, my co-author (on another series), and my best friend. She was almost like a sister to me, so this is the least I can do to honor her life and memory.
KINETIC REBIRTH is also available for Kindle Unlimited (KU) subscribers as well. Also, for those of you that don't have a Kindle, there's a Kindle app for smartphones, tablets, and any other AppStore technologies.
Just for a brief update on projects, I finally beat a week-long writing slump and cranked out almost 2k on my KINETICS #2 WIP, bringing rough word count to over 42,000 words. Chaos Accounts #4 also got hit by that writing slump, so it won't be out as soon as I had hoped. Also, I dabbled just a tad on me and JV's series, but can't work on it too much for a lock-up of JV's notebooks. No worries; I'll get them eventually, but it'll be a while. I'm also considering an attempt to go the traditional route with our co-authored series. When the book nears completion in a year or two, I'll decide for sure.
You can grab your digital copy of KINETIC REBIRTH off Amazon [here]. If you're more of a print version, subscribe to my newsletter [here] to be reminded closer to Print release day and on actual print release day on October 19th, 2017.
Hope you all enjoy reading this adventure as much as I loved writing it.
As always, Keep Faith, everyone.
So, my second #WildNewsWed now begins!
So, actually a lot has been going on since last Wednesday's post. Unfortunately, most of it I can't reveal yet. I will be able to soon, but that information is classified.
However, I can give you a few updates, that hopefully can tide ya'll over a bit.
1) Kinetics, Book 1, titled "KINETIC REBIRTH", is now nearing the end of post-production. Thanks to some swift money decisions and management techniques, I can now manage a longer pre-order gap! If you asked me a week or two ago, I would've said, "I *might* be able to start preorders three weeks before release day…", and probably averted my gaze and bit my lip in nervous hesitance and disappointment.
I now have the ability to have preorders ready before summer's end (sometime in August or so). I'M SOOOOOO BEYOND EXCITED!!! This novel is my proudest accomplishment. It is my favorite out of the group of ten manuscripts I've finished since starting my writing journey back in March 2004. I am so excited to share this new world I've created with you guys! It came so naturally, thanks to the inspiration behind it: my best friend JV. The idea came to me a few weeks after her passing, and the manuscript was done within the next month and a half. So, edits are now done, covers are *underway* (*coughcough* details later *coughcough* I promise *coughcough*), and post-production nears its inevitable completion.
2) Just to tease ya'll a bit, I'm going to have a short story releasing within the next few weeks, via Instafreebie and Wattpad. Somewhere along the way – not sure if before or after KINETIC REBIRTH's release – I will be making it available all ebook platforms. Leaning more toward post-Book 1 release. But, keep your eyes peeled on my Facebook Author Page [here] for news in the coming weeks.
3) So, a brief notice about THE CHAOS ACCOUNTS. I know Account #3, "Account of Friendship", left off at an unfortunate cliffhanger. I have a two-parter story for Account #4, which will resolve the cliffhanger I left before. However, I currently am wrapped up in KINETIC REBIRTH production and marketing, so THE CHAOS ACCOUNTS have taken a back seat. Just wanted you all to know I haven't forgotten about Blaine, Luz, and Division 3, and that those next two stories will be written and released as soon as things die down a bit.
And, to finish off, below is my #TeaserTuesday for the week.
As a writer, you'd think I'd be used to critiques by now. I've been in a writing fiction class, where they tore my fantasy to shreds, and I'm currently in my senior level English class, where our class is working on a publication that will be distributed to my entire town, and have been slammed by the harsh critiques I've been getting.
What does that do to me as a writer? In theory, as a writer, I need to analyze the critiques, edit accordingly, and brush it off like it's a piece of fuzz on your shirt. It's very nice in theory, but very difficult in practice. When you get copies of your work back, a story or manuscript that has been your precious word baby for a while, you get this feeling in the pit of your stomach and a feeling like someone torn your heart into tiny pieces.
Something important happens after that though. You read the edits, and eventually realize that some – if not most – are things that should be changed to make it better. That hole is still there, but starts getting smaller. Does that mean change everything they tell you to? No, it doesn't. You have to use your discretion as the WIPs creator and figure out what is essential to the story and what can be changed. When you overcome that barrier, the hole is about the width of a pencil.
Finally, when you send that prec ious word baby of yours back to the editors, and it comes back with a bazillion red markups, that hole expands again, but this time not as big as the first round. As you progress forward and get critique after critique sent back and forth, you start to catch things and habits in your writing that reoccur. Things like in-depth details, or grammatical errors, or maybe that you're a comma-happy person.
That's the point I'm trying to tell myself, and something I'm sharing with all of you. CRITIQUES MAKE YOU A BETTER WRITER! While seeing the red pen marks of death may crush you inside, you need to remember that the reason you even get those critiques back is because the editors (whether they are fellow peers, family, friends, or even just a distant connection of someone you know) are only marking those things to make your story the best it can be. Without those marks and notes, the story would go to publication with all the little mistakes and inconsistencies you missed in personal edits. Every good author or writer needs someone who won't be careful when critiquing and sugarcoat it in sake of your relationship.
As I've learned recently, I still get a little pang of pain in my heart when someone tells me my story needs "a little work". However, the fact still remains that my goal is to be the best author I can be, and that I can write stories that others will enjoy and that makes people feel something inside. If I have bad habits in my writing style, I want them broken before my stories go to publication to give my readers the best, because that's what they deserve.
I remind myself of that every time a critiqued story comes back to me. I take a deep breath, open it up, and keep on writing.

MOVIE REVIEW: 'My Honor was Loyalty' Will Make You Rethink Many Viewpoints
by Zac Russ
in Movie Reviews
As I watched "My Honor Was Loyalty," the movie changed my view on war, morality, life and love.
In the film, German soldier Untersharführer Ludwig Herckel (also known as Herschel) is knocked unconscious by Soviet troops while fighting. He wanders the woods in a daze and feels as if he life is coming to an end. While in the woods, Herschel meets another wandering German soldier, known as Dietwolf. The two talk for a while, and Dietwolf explains how he saw soldiers killing Jews at a train station. Dietwolf continues to express his fear that his wife, who is Jewish, will be tracked down by the SS. When Herschel hears about this, he is shocked, as he previously thought that the Jews were sent to work camps in conjunction with the growing war effort. His reasoning was that since the Jews "ruined the nation," it is their duty to contribute. (The Jews were scapegoats for Germany's economic crisis after the end the WWI.)
As Herschel finds his way back to Germany, he decides to find Dietwolf's wife, Eleanor, and visit her. He soon finds out that the Gestapo are attempting to arrest her, and, shortly after, she is shot and killed. Herschel is greatly troubled by this act. He returns to his unit on the western front days later, and witnesses the decline of his division, loss of comrades, and multiple acts of war crimes and cruel handling of POWs for both sides. Herschel begins to question what he is fighting for, and whether the war is worth it. He keeps in mind that if they lose this war they will be seen as criminals, and be "cursed forever." In Herschel's eyes, the SS were just like any other soldier fighting for their country and people; their honor was loyalty.
After I watched the final credits roll off of the screen, I asked myself the following questions: Do I really want to go to war? How do our veterans feel? How do the young boys on the front lines feel about their first kill? I figured they might feel guilty after a while, or they might not. I don't really know. I talk about my death like it is no big deal. If I actually were to go to war, though, I know that my death would affect the lives of a lot of people. Also, if I went to war, what if I were to come home safe, but haunted by the memories of me killing a man, or a child? And what would certain people in my life, like my father or my girlfriend, think of me? Will they see me as a soldier, or a murderer?
What I learned from this movie is that history is written by the victors. Although this movie is not Pro SS, it does tell the story of a simple SS soldier, and how he battles with his conscience as the war approaches an end. I highly recommend watching this movie, which is available on Amazon, and to develop your own opinion.

The movie is awful propaganda that would have the viewer believe a false, even evil equivalency: that the Nazi Waffen SS, the SS!, were honorable just like US soldiers, did no worse than US soldiers, even as they swept through Russia slaughtering Jews in their path — not shown or mentioned. The film is a disgusting erasure of moral responsibility, marginalizes the savagery of the devoted Nazi, Hitler loving, Jew hating and killing Waffen SS. No serious honest indication in the film that millions of people were being destroyed by SS genocidal fanaticism in Auschwitz, etc.
The movie pretends that SS soilders were not really Nazi but just good often morally confused and compromised people who loved their country. It even has a Waffen SS soldier trying to protect a Jewish woman from the Gestapo! This is the false equivalency, moral relativizing, white washing at its worst.
See this movie if you want to barf, vomit, barf and vomit.
Naive people and dupes and neo Nazi will exalt this film. I refuse to shed tears for the Waffen SS Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler.
Who is the producer, Pepe. He is a dangerous jackass fool, a propagandist, and simply an awe full director.
I feel soiled by seeing this film.
And yes I do know what I'm talking about. I am a published and tenured professor of modern German history.

O, please, the real killers were the Einzätsgruppen. If you are a professor, then the youth is damned. Your repeated use of truly idiotic phrases nearly had me barfing. Waffen SS were just soldiers. How do you feel about modern day war crimes committed by Isreal, the US, Russia etc. Of course you will deny it.

I am German-American and like Mr. Russ saw no indication it was in any way pro-SS. It was hard to figure which must have been more terrible to go through at times, when they won or lost…

They were Nazi party soldiers, when they joined, it was a nationalist socialist workers party , the turnaround came after the kristkncht and the murder of the SA leadership . The Bolsheviks terminated thousands of gypsies and Jews and German socialists under Stalin and pre 1939 . The world kept silent . The Einsatgruppen took revenge and they were paid by military intelligence . It is no secret Churchill hated the Russians as they killed the English born monarch .the rest of it is history …ww2 began .

Dramatic photos of Assembly Rooms car park fire on its fifth anniversary
It broke-out five years ago this week
Zena HawleyAgenda editor
Ben Lyons
People across the county will remember the dramatic fire which broke-out five years ago this week in the car park of Derby's Assembly Rooms.
The fire started on Wednesday, March 14, 2014, when people who arrived early for a performance of Ballroom to Broadway with Anton Du Beke fled the building at about 5pm.
Early patrons were forced to evacuate in a hurry, leaving their belongings, unfinished meals and drinks behind, as flames of up to 40 feet shot into the air and smoke quickly billowed across the Market Place.
At its height, 75 firefighters and 16 fire engines were at the scene. The fire, which engulfed the roof of the car park, was brought under control by 7.30pm.
While the Assembly Rooms itself was never touched by flames, dozens of shows were cancelled when Derby City Council confirmed in April 2014, that the venue would remain closed for "at least 18 months".

Almost a year later, on March 5, 2015, the council admitted that the Assembly Rooms would never re-open. It had been smoke-damaged and essential services were cut off because of the fire.
The Assembly Rooms was built in 1977, replacing a previous building which had burned down in 1963 and had been built in 1755.

On November 16, 2015, the council announced that it was claiming £5.5 million to cover loss of assets damaged in the fire, the cost of remedial work and financial losses from the venue's closure.
It saved money on maintenance and utility bills, but lost an estimated total of £1,256,000 over the 2014-15 and 2015-16 financial years.

Then, in January last year, the Labour council announced it would demolish and rebuild the venue and car park at a cost of £44 million.
But after Labour lost its overall majority in last May's local elections, the Conservatives took power, supported by the Lib Demsand UKIP.
Assembly Rooms plan 'will waste £24 million' says showbiz expert
The three parties announced that refurbishing the venue and getting it open as soon as possible was a priority for all of them.
Since then, plans have been developed to re-open a refurbished New Assembly Rooms at a cost of £24 million by autumn 2020.

But following approval of the plan in January and an attempt by Labour to revive the rebuild option at the full council meeting earlier this month, Derby residents could be forgiven for wondering what happens next and if the venue will ever re-open.

Concert Review: Danzig, Hatebreed, Six Feet Under, Disturbed (Northern Lights, Clifton Park, New York, April 29, 2000)
April 30, 2000 May 14, 2020 / J. Eric Smith
I've been in Northern Lights probably 40 times since it opened, but if you'd taken a picture of last Saturday night's stage and asked me to name the club, I doubt that I could have done it. Why? Because the traveling Danzig and Six Feet Under team brought in a full-18-wheeler's-worth of amps, lights, risers, barriers, soundboards, stage extensions and other arena-scaled gear, completely reinventing the front-end of Clifton Park's favorite strip-mall concert hall. Which was way cool, as was the prospect of seeing arguably the two most important singers in modern metal on the same stage on the same night.
Glenn Danzig virtually defined spooky, gothic dark ultra-metal with the Misfits in the early '80s, putting his deep, sensual voice atop a post-punk three-piece instrumental grind. After Danzig left the Misfits, his former bandmates redirected their ethos towards more lighthearted '50s monster movie themes, while Danzig himself turned towards the serious side of the evil equation, wallowing in explicit Satanic elements with first Samhain and then the group that now bears his name. Six Feet Under's Chris Barnes, for his part, literally pioneered the guttural death metal vocal style that defines the very genre, first with Cannibal Corpse, then with spin-off-band-turned-full-time-gig Six Feet Under.
Like Glenn Danzig, Barnes has watched his former bandmates go tongue-in-cheek without him, while he has continued to ply the true darkness that can make men's souls so very, very ugly indeed. He was a fine voice (and I mean that literally), bellowing out a dozen cuts from the recent Maximum Violence and a quartet of numbers (each of them set highlights) from his group's 1997 masterwork Warpath over the course of a 45-minute set. Instrumentalists Terry Butler, Greg Gall and Steve Swanson propped him up admirably, laying down the leanest, tightest, most rhythmically-insistent riff-mongering you're ever likely to hear outside of a Black Sabbath concert. If you don't get death metal, you haven't seen Six Feet Under. Case closed.
Danzig (the man and the band) took the stage right at the stroke of midnight and launched into a sweeping, ambitious set that leaned heavily on the group's new release, Danzig 6:66 Satans Child, which has now proven on both stereo and in concert to be the ensemble's finest work since 1990's Danzig II: Lucifuge. The always-very-pumped Mr. Danzig was decked out in his finest fishnet bodystocking shirt (complete with sew-on pentangle accessory), thrusting and posing like a champ while the crowd went nuts before him. The stadium-lighting show didn't hurt matters in that regard either.
Former Murphy's Law and D-Generation guitarist Todd Youth is playing his first tour since joining Danzig last year and I gotta tell you, he's a freakin' support genius of the highest caliber, a band-member any band-leader should kill to acquire. In addition to plying choice grooves, Youth also tossed out perfect, powerful backing vocals that allowed Glenn Danzig to just focus on looking fabulous all night long, without having to worry about things like keeping the microphone close to face so we could hear him. Youth is still a bit skinny by Danzig standards, though, although he's so good that I'm confident Danzig will have him swollen with 'roid rage in no time, just to keep him.
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the Clay People should have been feeling pretty proud of themselves after Disturbed open the evening with a set of sounds cribbed straight from the Clay People song book. Circa 1997. And not as good as the real thing. The ever-dependable Hatebreed filled the evening's number three slot and they held their own — which is all a band can do when placed between such genre titans as Six Feet Under and Danzig, God bless 'em.

U.S President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that New York attack perpetrator Sayfullo Saipov should receive the death penatly after he killed eight people in a truck-ramming attack on a Manhattan bicycle lane on Tuesday.
Trump made the statement on Twitter after federal prosecutors brought terrorism charges Wednesday against the Uzbek immigrant, saying he was spurred to attack by the Islamic State group's online calls to action and picked Halloween because he figured streets would be extra crowded.
Even as he lay wounded in the hospital from police gunfire, Saipov asked to display the Islamic State group's flag in his room and said "he felt good about what he had done," prosecutors said in court papers.
President Donald Trump called Argentine President Mauricio Macri on Wednesday to offer his condolences. Trump tweeted that he spoke to Macri "about the five proud and wonderful men" who were killed.
A press statement from the Argentine presidential office said that during the call, Macri reaffirmed his belief that governments must work together strongly against the "scourge of fundamentalist terrorism."
Earlier Wednesday, Trump called for eliminating the 1990s visa lottery program that Saipov used to come to the U.S. in 2010, and the Republican president said he would consider sending Saipov to the Guantanamo Bay detention center — an idea the White House reinforced by saying it considered Saipov to be an "enemy combatant."

Q: Definition of a primitive representation In this paper, a representation $\pi: G \to \operatorname{GL}(V)$  is said to be primitive if

*

*$\pi$ is irreducible and

*there exists no decomposition of $V$ as the direct sum of proper non-zero subspaces permuted by G.

Could you please describe what 2. technically means? It would be helpful if you could write the condition as a formula. Right now, this just sounds like 1. where there is no proper non-zero subspace which is invariant under $G$. I thought being permuted by $G$ and being invariant under $G$ is the same.
Thank you!

A: Consider the group of two by two matrices of the forms
$$\pmatrix{a&0\\0&b}$$
and
$$\pmatrix{0&a\\b&0}$$
for $ab\ne0$. Suppose the image of $\rho$ is this group.
Then $\rho$ is irreducible, but is not primitive. The vector
subspaces of the forms $\pmatrix{*\\0}$ and $\pmatrix{0\\*}$ form
a direct sum composition of $K^2$ but are permuted by $G$.


Fully agreed a2z. Well put.
Now that's some good Sunday morning reading TeacherGroupie! Thank you for that - very informative.

Corregidor is logically the next frontier after doing Bataan. I guess I need not explain how relevant the island of Corregidor is for the Allied Forces and WWII that's why for those who love history like I do, a visit to this "rock" is a must.
As a runner, what's in it for you? Well, aside from running on historical grounds, you'd be faced by its infamous hills! Anyone who had been on the island will tell that conquering Corregidor is easier said than done! They even say that a 21K in the island would require an effort equivalent to that of 42K! Scared?
Registration: ₱2,500 for all distances (₱3,000 for late registration, November 21 to December 04, 2011) inclusive of a Manila-Corregidor roundtrip ferry, lunch buffet on race day, race bib with timing chip, singlet, sling bag, finisher's medal and certificate. Read the complete registration details here.
After completing registration for the race, immediately contact Sun Cruises at +63 2 834 6857 / +63 2 834 6858 / +63 2 527 5555 loc 4511 or 4512 to book for your ferry trip schedules.
If applicable, make accommodations reservation with Sun Cruises (only registered participants will be given reservations; 1 room per participant only). Pay the appropriate accommodations booking amount through the payment mode advised by Sun Cruises.
On Dec 3 & 4 (as advised through email and text by the organizers) at ROX, attend the Runners' Briefing, pick-up the race pack, and claim the Boarding Pass and/or Accommodations Booking ticket from Sun Cruises. Ensure to bring the printout of your CIHM Race Registration Confirmation. Anyone may pick up your kit at ROX during the R.O.X Runners' Briefing from 3PM to 8PM. They may be asked for identification and your signed authorization note.
I wanted to join this event, it looks exciting. Only problem is I am coming from Bataan, so I am just a small boat away to corregidor. Will they consider participants who are coming from the other side of the island. I think it will be tedious to travel around to manila.
Update from the race organizers: For this kind of special situation, interested participants will be given a P600 off from the regular rate (P2500) so the they only have to pay P1900 if they register until Nov 20. If they register between Nov 21 – Dec 4 (late registration period) they could just pay P2400. No onsite (on Dec 10 at the island) will be entertained. All interested parties may email their intent to cihm21@yahoo.com.ph.

What Is Floor Tension In Physics?
What's surface tension in physics? The answer can be found within the manner light travels into a fiber optic cable. While mild travels in every kinds of energy and mass, it is the character of fiber-optics that causes this traveling potential.
Light moves by waves which can be separated from one another by a surface known as a medium. It's the component of the spectrum that is observable. Energy and Volume form based on the presence of light. Mild includes photons, which can be the particles that form the visible part of the spectrum.
Light travels at rates due to a medium's surface tension. After a face strikes that the wave is redirected. The waves make one last undistorted wave and cancel out since the two components of the tide are diverted out of their avenues.
http://scoopcitygrill.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2912/
Much the same occurrence happens when lighting is in movement and seeking to detect its leadership. Because the gentle moves along, it passes through a place where in fact the angle between the outside and the beam is equal to the angle of prevalence. In addition, the wavelength of this light is corresponding to the wavelength of this incident wave.
The polarizer in the filter also influences the polarization of light. It is redirected out of a straight line, After the beam passes through the polarizer. http://swisswatchland.com/2020/3/3/composing-at-no-cost-can-not-pay-a-professor-to-compose-your-essay-for-you-personally/ The outer lining would be wafer or the filament of the fiber optic cable. How the waves have been polarized in the wafer controls polarization. Sothe polarizer, such as the face strain inside this situation, functions.
Light journeys in patterns called beams, which is. If we believe that most matter has mass that was equal light is looked at as a tool with speed and mass. Light travels at the speed of lighting and does not exist within a vacuum.
We are aware that drinking water molecules possess equal density," however we do not understand whether they have every other characteristic or equal speed. Gentle waves behave as though they perform at a medium and are at the mercy of exactly the rules of relativity that apply to all forms of mass.
Cost in Electric Fields Physics and Lightwaves in drinking water and Air Metals like silver and copper possess. http://htn.uin-malang.ac.id/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4405/ Considering that the electrical sector can be seen when buying a object of metal via a magnifying glass, the text among electric fields and electric rates is sometimes called the most"subject of appeal".
Lightwaves can be clarified from the total amount of these electric fields in parts, also light beams travel in the speed of lighting as particles that have zero mass produce the Electro Magnetic areas. At which one rod is always located toward the source, the fields usually are described in provisions of their potency and management and one other pole is located away from the source.
Although light travels faster than lighting, it is because waves affect influenced from the electric http://www.protecciondesuperficies.com/sin-categoria/tips-to-get-essay-books fields. Light beams are suffering from the electric fields of their source since it goes at the speed of light. The end result is the rays are shifted whenever they pass the source, and these rays have different intensities.
Although electric fields are very strong, there's a limit to this size of the fields. The area will turn out to be so large that light rays will be consumed rather than passing , causing hindrance In the event the electric field is overly robust.
What's charge in math? Light is an electromagnetic wave that travels quickly. It's the vitality of lighting that offers it its own attributes, for example its ability to offer off light.

DJI is a household name when it comes to consumer drone segment. The company is now seemingly prepping up it's offering to cater to the commercial drone market. As part of this endeavor, DJI recently announced a thermal-imaging sensor for its drones. The Zenmuse XT2 is a development kit which will allow users to use the thermal sensing camera as an attachment for DJI drones.
The kit will allow consumers to choose from a variety of accessories and this adds a new layer of functionality to their DJI drones (matrice 200 series). All of this is enabled via an adapter called "Skyport." What this adapter does is that it gives access to drone's gimbal, APIs, and power supply. With this in place, any accessory can be hooked to the drone without the need for a cable or any such contraption. In other words, the DJI's new Skyport kit works similar to the Moto Mods on the Motorola smartphone.
The commercial drone buyers are very particular about the utility. They often use the drones for specific purposes. The Skyport will allow commercial consumers to add their preferred module to a drone. For instance, the consumers can add a spectrometer, Geiger counter and the list goes on. Furthermore, the Skyport adapter also gives access to the Matrice's built-in data communications system, and this will allow the companies to monitor the drone on a real-time basis and also collect the data simultaneously.
The DJI's new camera is a result of a partnership with Flir, a thermal imaging company that has been supplying thermal camera modules for Cat S60. A DJI drone with the thermal imaging camera can detect the thermal signals in its field of view. This throws open an entirely new possibility for rescue and search missions. Since the thermal camera is capable of picking the hottest signals, it can also be used while rescuing people from burning buildings.
There is no doubt that DJI is gearing up to shape up as a formidable commercial drone supplier. On a related note, the ever-expanding logistic needs will ensure that solutions like this get the attention they deserve and perhaps flourish in the near future.

Kennedys strengthens litigation practice with Manchester tie-up

Kennedys is to merge with Manchester firm Berg & Co, adding seven disputes partners with expertise in banking, contract and regulation issues.
London-headquartered insurance specialist firm Kennedys will combine with 50-lawyer Manchester-based Berg & Co (berg) on 1 September 2017.
Senior partner Reuben Berg, who specialises in corporate finance, joint ventures and shareholder litigation, established berg in 1980. His experience includes handling a major fraud case for now defunct retail group Etam, whose property director was found guilty of mis-appropriating funds in conspiracy with outside agents in 2001.
He also acted for the former chief executive of Littlewoods (now part of Shop Direct Group) in a 1995 breach of contract dispute with his company, which was represented by Herbert Smith (now Herbert Smith Freehills).
The firm's chief executive, Alison Loveday, deals with financial regulation, mis-selling of derivatives and investments, and general banking disputes.
Ian Mendelsohn, the firm's director, works on professional negligence, shareholder, contract and warranty litigation, while Andrew Davidson, the head of the litigation practice, focuses on similar matters and maintains a mediation practice.
The firm also employs partners John Colvin, Daniel Brumpton and Chris McDuff, whose expertise spans banking, professional negligence, insurance and insolvency disputes.
The firm was one of the first in the United Kingdom to take on cases against banks over mis-sold derivatives. Its notable work this year included representing Michael and Diane Hockin in a GBP 30 million dispute with Royal Bank of Scotland over a mis-sold interest rate swap which forced their property company, London and Westcountry Estates, into administration in 2012.
Commenting on the merger, Berg said in a statement: "We have turned down many opportunities over the years that weren't the right fit to grow berg in the way we wanted."
Loveday added: "We're aware that many law firms are simply not set up to meet the needs of modern clients, and that's why we have worked hard to provide commercial solutions beyond traditional litigation work. The appeal of merging with Kennedys is that it will allow us to carry on this pioneering work as part of a network that is global, but not faceless."
Nick Thomas, senior partner at Kennedys, said that the merger allows his firm "to offer clients significantly enhanced commercial litigation and complementary services".
He went on to explain that Manchester's "talent pool" will "provide a strong platform to source, attract and retain talent".
The firm previously expressed its interest in that city with the January hire of partner Paula Garvey, who specialises in rail liability litigation.
The merger follows Kennedys' tie-up with 100-lawyer United States firm Carroll McNulty & Kull earlier this month.
Manchester also featured in Eversheds Sutherland's May promotions round, in which litigation duo Gregory Buckley and Sarah Naylor made partner.

The Wisconsin Humane Society believes that tight financial times should not break the bonds of love and companionship between people and their companion animals. WHS temporarily provides pet food, treats, and kitty litter for individuals who are struggling to provide food for their animals. This program has helped many people keep their animals in homes where they are loved.
At this time, we are only able to offer full Pet Food Pantry services at our Milwaukee and Ozaukee Campuses. If you need resources in the Racine, Green Bay, or Door County areas, please call the shelter nearest you for resources.
Pet food is available first-come, first-served to anyone who expresses a need. The Furry Friends Pet Food Pantry is entirely donation-driven and there may be times that we will not have enough donations to meet your needs. You are welcome to call ahead to find out if we have any donated food prior to making your trip into the shelter since we will not be able to set aside food for pick-up. The best time to pick up is during regular adoption hours (select a campus here for hours).
By contributing to the Furry Friends food program, your generosity helps keep animals in the homes where they're loved and cherished. We are always in need of dog food (wet or dry), cat food (wet or dry), dog treats, cat treats, and kitty litter.
We accept donations of all kinds, but we can only use unopened bags of food for the Furry Friends Pet Food Pantry. Any opened or ripped bags are passed along for use in our Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. All sizes, brands, and types of food are greatly appreciated! Donations can be dropped off at any WHS shelter during our regular operating hours.
We offer steep discounts on pet food, treats, and kitty litter if you donate them to WHS through our online store! Simply select a product to donate, check out as usual, then we'll take the product off our store shelves and stock them in our Pet Food Pantry. That's it!
Note: During checkout, please ignore any "in-store pickup" language; if you purchase any of the products listed in the link above, we know you are donating to the shelter and won't be picking the item up. Once you've paid, you're all set and we'll take care of the rest!
On behalf of the many people and animals served by this vital program, thank you so very much for your contribution!
"Hello, I want the people who work here, volunteer here, and donate here to know, if possible, just how much our family appreciates the pet pantry. At one time, we did not have financial issues or struggles. We loved our pets and with having children, acquired a few more cats and another dog. Providing for them had not been a problem.
Right now, we are struggling. We are behind on our house payment and are struggling to keep our house and a roof over the kids' heads. As it is, we are relying heavily on the food pantry. An easy solution would be to rehome these pets and eliminate the food expense. We love them and I believe they are attached to us. The kids would be devastated to lose them. Life is hard for them as it is. The assistance from the pet pantry has meant so very much to us.
If you could, let everyone know and especially the kind donors, how much it means to us and our pets. I know that things will improve, but until then, you've added some stability. You have lifted a burden and eased some of our worry. When we are able, we will work on giving back. It has really meant so very much to us. I really don't know what we would do without your assistance. May each of you be blessed for being so kind. You all have made a huge difference in our lives.


In one of the weekend supplements there was an article on the new Stratos.
I remember reading a while back about this concept based on the Ferrari F430 but assumed nothing had come of it. Now it seems like a small, and strictly limited, run of 25 cars will be produced by specialist builder Manifattura Automobili Torino.
The cost is around Euro 80,000 ... oh that's just for donor Ferrari F430. You'll then need to find an extra Euro 550,000 for the transformation into a Stratos.
Looks "plus size" (to say the least) next to the original.
Just what I was thinking - another example of a bigger fatter modern car but I suppose a lot of it is down to modern safety tests.

32×32: 2018-19 MAC Preview
By Kevin Sweeney
2017-18 in the MAC was defined by its big wins. Ball State's buzzer-beating victory over then-#7 Notre Dame earned all the early headlines, and Buffalo's thumping of Arizona in the NCAA Tournament might have been the story of opening weekend if not for what UMBC did the following night. In between those upsets was a ton of competitive basketball, and a lot of the talent that made the league as fun to watch as it was comes back for one more go.
Standings Projection:
Divisional:
#1. Buffalo
I think there's a legitimate case for Buffalo to be in preseason top 25's. Nate Oats' team is that good. 3 all-league-level players return from last season's 27-win club, with wings CJ Massinburg & Jeremy Harris complimenting bruising big Nick Perkins for one of the nation's strongest cores. The Bulls lose point guard Wes Clark, but have a deep unit of ball-handlers waiting in the wings to take over and add a top-150 recruit on the wing in Jeenathan Williams. UB has everything–length, athleticism, experience, scoring ability, and coaching– that I look for in a Cinderella team, and they should be considered must-see TV this season.
#2. Ball State
The aforementioned win over Notre Dame was massive for James Whitford's program, but the Cardinals were unable to find consistency on the offensive end for much of MAC play last season. Outside shooting was a struggle, and BSU lost the turnover battle most of the time. Those challenges were somewhat due to roster makeup– playing 2 non-shooting bigs in Tahjai Teague & Trey Moses and a scoring point guard in Tayler Persons isn't good for spacing or turnover margin. That core returns, and Whitford hopes to push the right buttons with some new faces to work into the rotation. CCSU transfer Austin Nehls provides a solid catch-and-shoot guy off the bench, while Mizzou import KJ Walton provides more athleticism in the backcourt. The x-factor might be Arkansas transfer Brachen Hazen, who has an intriguing skillset at 6-8 at the mid-major level.
#3. Eastern Michigan
EMU virtually runs it back from last season, with a senior trio of James Thompson IV, Elijah Minnie, and Paul Jackson talented enough to keep the Eagles in any game. The only departure is Tim Bond, a swiss army knife wing who was sneaky valuable in the EMU zone. It's hard to see much improvement from any of the aforementioned big 3, so significant improvement relies upon their newcomers. Andre Rafus is the headliner of that group, a former blue-chip recruit who bounced around high schools and somehow wound up available in the June after his prep year. Rafus has undeniable upside– a 6-9 high-major athlete who can shoot the ball, but something obviously made other programs hold back.
#4. Toledo
A strong core returns from a team that was Buffalo's most legitimate challenger in the MAC last season, but Tod Kowalczyk will have to find a way to win without stud wing Tre'Shaun Fletcher. Fletcher came in as a sit 1, play 1 transfer and revolutionized the Rockets offense, playing as a 6-7 lead guard who could switch 1-4. Kowalczyk will likely turn to another transfer to take over ball-handling duties in Tennessee transfer Chris Darrington, who struggled to carve out minutes on a top-10 team but was one of the nation's elite JUCO players in 2016-17. Darrington is a very different player than Fletcher, but has the upside to keep what was one of the nation's best offenses running smoothly.
#5. Kent State
Rob Senderoff's team is loaded in the backcourt, with a trio of high-impact newcomers in top-100 JUCO prospects CJ Williamson & Antonio Williams along with Tulane transfer Kain Harris joining Jalen Avery and Jaylin Walker to create a formidable 5-man rotation. The frontcourt has some questions to answer without Adonis De La Rosa (Illinois), with Danny Pippen and USC Upstate transfer Phillip Whittington the likely pairing to open the year. Sophomore BJ Duling is a high-level athlete and potential breakout candidate up front, and could carve out a starting spot at the 4, perhaps pairing with Pippen in some dangerous 5-out lineups.
#6. Ohio
It was a down 2017-18 for a Bobcat program that has been as consistent as any mid-major since the turn of the millennium, finishing under .500 for just the second time since 2009. Much of Ohio's demise was due to Jason Carter missing the season with an injury– Carter had been projected as one of the league's breakout stars and possesses significant upside as a high-scoring big man. The one bright spot of a down campaign was Teyvion Kirk's emergence, as the freshman became just the 9th player since 1992 to average at least 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists as a freshman, per Sports Reference. When you consider that 3 of those 9 are Ben Simmons, Chauncey Billups, and Caron Butler, that's excellent company to be in. He'll have to take care of the ball better, but Kirk is a foundational piece for Saul Phillips' program and I'm excited to see what he can do in year 2.
#7. Bowling Green
There should be plenty of reason for optimism with this BGSU club, returning a trio of double-figure scorers from a young team that wasn't far off last season. The Falcons lost a ton of close games, thanks in no small part to a weak defense and youth in the backcourt. However, that young group took some necessary lumps and could take some nice steps forward this season. Sophomore Justin Turner returns after an explosive freshman season, and double-double machine Demajeo Wiggins should be the benefit of excellent floor-spacing in his senior season. This team could definitely win 20 games.
#8. Central Michigan
CMU's 21-win 2017-18 season was a bit deceptive, as the Chippewas only won 5 games against teams that finished above .500 (and two of those came in the CIT). But Keno Davis' club brings a lot back and adds more backcourt reinforcements that should once again keep them interesting in the MAC. Vanderbilt grad transfer Larry Austin will look to finally live up to his lofty recruiting ranking in Davis' guard-friendly system, forming a formidable duo with Shawn Roundtree. That pairing might not be quite as good as the Marcus Keene/Braylon Rayson pairing that lit the conference on fire in 2016-17, but it's definitely dangerous, and this year's group has a better supporting cast. Defense will always be a concern under Davis, but the Chippewas will be fun to watch at the very least.
#9. Akron
Early departures from Virshon Cotton (LIU Brookyln) and Eric Parrish (JUCO) take a little bit of wind out of the Zips' collective sails, with a trio of transfers likely to be relied upon heavily for this team's success. Daniel Utomi and Jimond Ivey feel like sure things at this point, but that duo isn't enough to make much headway by themselves. Eric Hester has the most upside of that transfer trio, a former top-150 recruit who can play either guard spot and bring lots of athleticism to the table. (NOTE: Hester is no longer listed on Akron's roster, so it's unclear whether he'll play this season. However, both Loren Jackson (LBSU) and Deng Riak (ECU) profile as at least solid rotation players in the MAC, giving John Groce more options at his disposal than he had last season. A year 2 jump for Groce's club wouldn't surprise me, but it's hard to pick them any higher than this given the teams above them.
#10. Miami (OH)
Jack Owens did a tremendous job in his first year at Miami, bringing in a foundational piece in Nike Sibande (an all-name honoree as well) and almost finishing .500 despite losing 2 studs in the Weathers twins to transfer from the previous regime. I was ready to go all-in on this team to make another jump in the MAC when high-level point guard Darrian Ringo was dismissed from the team this summer. Given he averaged almost 7 assists per game and no one else on the roster averaged more than 1.9, that's a crushing blow. Solving that point guard puzzle will be the biggest challenge for Owens. Look for Isaiah Coleman-Lands to get the nod early on, but freshman Mekhi Lairy possesses significant upside at that spot as well and could factor into the lead guard mix as the season rolls on.
UPDATE: Ringo returned to the team before the start of the season, which makes me significantly higher than 10th. I see them in the 6-8 range.
#11. Northern Illinois
In case you were wondering, Mark Montgomery isn't getting the Michigan State head coaching job when Tom Izzo retires. Not if he keeps finishing under .500 at Northern Illinois like he did last season. His NIU club brings back a lot of talent from last season's disappointing 13-19 finish, including scoring guard Eugene German and two other double-digit scorers. His club relied almost entirely on isolation and shot fewer threes than any team in the conference, and that conference left the Huskies with a fairly ineffective offense to pair with a poor defense. Despite those deep flaws, NIU still found a way to beat Buffalo, EMU, and Ball State last season. I'd bet on Montgomery's club winning some games they shouldn't again this season, but wouldn't count on much more than that from this club.
#12. Western Michigan
While this roster doesn't look like a last-place team on paper, the depth of the MAC makes a fall to 12th possible for the Broncos. Losing explosive lead guard Thomas Wilder leaves a major hole from a creation perspective, and the early transfer of Reggie Jones was an unexpected blow to this group. WMU has a chance to have an intriguing wing rotation with newcomers Patrick Emilien and Kawanise Williams joining the multi-positional Josh Davis in a rotation that would be very athletic and switchable.
All-Conference First Team:
Tayler Persons– Ball State (15.0 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 4.3 apg, .461/.373/.670)
CJ Massinburg– Buffalo (17.0 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 2.4 apg, .468/.405/.743)
Jeremy Harris– Buffalo (15.5 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 2.1 apg, .471/.418/.787)
Nick Perkins– Buffalo (16.2 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 0.8 apg, .474/.319/.733)
James Thompson IV– Eastern Michigan (14.5 ppg, 11.2 rpg, 0.3 apg, .672/.000/.607)
Player of the Year: CJ Massinburg (Buffalo)
Massinburg is one of my favorite players in college basketball. To see an unheralded recruit get progressively better each season and lead his program to the NCAA Tournament is always fun, and Massinburg has a chance to cement his legacy as one of the greatest to ever play at Buffalo this season. 2,000 career points is a possibility, as is a deep NCAA Tournament run to cap a stellar career.
Breakout Player: BJ Duling (Kent State)
Duling possesses significant upside in his sturdy 6-7 frame, and has a chance to break out for a Kent State looking for answers in the frontcourt. Like many freshmen, Duling battled inconsistency last season but showed plenty of promise, and I expect a big year from him.
Newcomer of the Year: Chris Darrington (Toledo)
I'm buying Darrington as a sneaky mid-major star this season. He's an elite shooter and shot-maker who can thrive with or without the ball, making him an outstanding fit in Tod Kowalczyk's system. He can make this Toledo team a MAC contender once again.

EGYPTOLOGY: PROBLEMS, ACHIEVEMENTS
by Yelena TOLMACHEVA, Cand. Sc. (Hist.), academic secretary, Egyptology Research Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia Egyptology has gained great popularity in our country since Jean-Francois Champillon (1790-1832), a French historian (elected honorary member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences) broke the Egyptian hieroglyphic code in 1822. Here in Russia Egyptology has long-standing traditions going back to such eminent scholars as Vladimir Golenishchev (1856-1947), Boris Turaev (1868-1920), Vassily Struve (1889-1965), Mikhail Korostovtsev (1900-1980), among many others. Unfortunately our Egyptologists had for a long time no opportunity of doing on-the-spot research. Only in 1995 RAS scholars started taking a regular part in international field parties or working on their own in Egypt. Their research findings have opened a new page of ancient Egyptian history making it possible to rethink many of the conventional notions. стр. 96 THE BEGINNING Way back in 1955 Mikhail Korostovtsev field a memo in which he insisted on setting up a Soviet research center of Egyptology in Cairo. "Egypt has become an international research laboratory in archeology, anthropology, ethnography, philology, history and art appreciation. It is sad indeed that our great country is in no way represented." His idea was materialized only in 1992. That year our scientists went for the first time to Egypt for archeological excavations in joint international parties. The Russian side was represented by research workers of the Egyptology Cabinet (RAS Institute of Oriental Studies) headed by Galina Belova (later, head of our research center). Archeological excavations at Tell Ibrahim Avad in the eastern part of Lower Egypt involved our research scientists for the first time; this work was carried on within the framework of the joint Russian-Dutch project "Nile Delta". Next, in 1998, came another project in cooperation with the Institute of Egyptology a ... Читать далее

We are delighted to welcome Firestone to Vantastival again this year, with another opportunity for unsigned bands to win a coveted prize worth over €4,000 in the Firestone Road to the Main Stage competition! 12 up-and-coming Irish acts from our 2019 line up have been chosen to take part. Voting will run online until 21st April, with the public vote reducing the initial 12 acts to five, who will then participate in a live final at Odd Mollies venue in Drogheda on May 2nd.
This year Vantastival is teaming up with Every Can Counts to make sure all those bags o' cans end up in the recycling where they belong!
Watch out for Every Can Counts reps on site and swing by their area for games, competitions and give-aways to encourage everyone to recycle their cans.
Bring them one can and you can play the 'CAN You Kick It' football speed test game, or you can have some 'Yes We Can' face art. Bring them a whole bag of cans, and get a prize.
It takes as little as 60 days for that can to be back on the shelf, set to be cracked open and enjoyed all over again. So all the fun and games will ensure that each can gets recycled in time to be enjoyed at Vantastival 2019.
That's closed loop recycling at its very best!
For more information on Every Can Counts follow them on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
The public have cast their votes and the five acts who will go through the live final of the Firestone Battle of the Bands 2018 are modernlove., Exiles, Sonnets & Sisters, Oski Bravo, and JaXson! The final will take place in Odd Mollies, Drogheda, on 26th April when the bands will perform for a judging panel comprising Today FM producer and DJ Ed Smith, Today FM Head of Sound Gavin Blake, and representatives from both Vantastival and Firestone, with the public also having a vote. The overall winner will receive a prize package including a 2 track recording session at Herbert Place Studios and €1,800 worth of equipment from the Musicmaker store in Dublin, and will headline the Firestone Music Station stage at this year's Vantastival!
The final is open to the public and all are welcome to attend. Entry is €4 and all who pay in will be able to vote for their favourite band on the night and will also be entered into a draw for a pair of weekend Vantastival tickets.
Thanks to all 12 acts who took part in the online phase of the competition and we're looking forward to seeing all 12 perform on the Firestone Stage at this year's Vantastival!
Firestone Battle of the Bands 2018!
We are delighted to welcome Firestone Live to Vantastival again this year, with another opportunity for unsigned bands to win a coveted prize worth over €4,000 in the Firestone Battle of the Bands competition! 12 up-and-coming Irish acts from our 2018 line up have been chosen by Firestone to take part. Voting will run online until 8th April, with the public vote reducing the initial 12 acts to five, who will then participate in a live final at Odd Mollies venue in Drogheda on April 26th.
