United in demand response: the power of 660,000 Victorian consumers
Of all the ten demand response projects that make up the program being introduced this summer, the one put forward by United Energy involves involves by far the most customers.
Two workers on site near transmission lines.
The only question is whether any of them will even notice.
United Energy is a power distribution business – it owns and operates the 'poles and wires' used to transport electricity from substations into homes across a large swathe of suburban Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula.
Although most of them probably don't think about it very often, around 660,000 Victorians receive electricity when they switch on an appliance because it is carried to their home by United Energy's distribution network.
And a small but complex and ingenious change to that network is behind one of the founding projects in the three-year trial demand response program being brought to you by ARENA and AEMO this summer.
The program, to which ARENA has contributed $28.6 million of a total $35.7 million, aims to help to ensure energy supply is reliable and stable during times of peak demand, such as summer heatwaves or extreme storms.
The remaining $7.2 million has been provided by the NSW Government for projects based in NSW.

By reducing demand, a move that has been extremely effective elsewhere in the world, the program aims to also reduce the need for costly new power generating and distribution infrastructure to be built merely to cater for the handful of times each year when demand spikes and supply struggles to keep pace.
Eight innovative companies, across different parts of the energy sector, have been selected for funding. Together, they will remove 143 MW of demand from the electricity grid this summer and 200 MW by year three of the project.

While many of the projects in the program require multiple interactions, decisions and behavioural changes from both energy consumers and companies that help supply them with electricity, United Energy's $5.76 million project instead relies upon system-wide change.
At substation level, during times when a demand response event is initiated by AEMO, United Energy will reduce the voltage of electricity it supplies to the homes of all the households and businesses it services.
Every single one. All 660,000.
"United Energy's demand response project is innovative because it's a network wide program," the company's Rodney Bray says.
"It looks at utilising the Victorian smart meter rollout to actually allow us to adjust voltages on the distribution network."
Voltage will be reduced from 240 volts to around 230, although the amount of reduction will differ across various points of the distribution network. A reduction of this nature, while not advisable in the long term, can safely and securely be carried out for a short period without any negative consequences.
FULL LIST: THE EIGHT INNOVATORS BEHIND THE DEMAND RESPONSE PROGRAM
For the householder, nothing observable changes. Lights will not flicker and dim, appliances will continue working uninterrupted. But while individual consumers will most likely never notice, the overall impact will be great.
"A very small, marginal decrease in the voltage actually has the impact of providing a substantial amount of demand response," Bray says.
"The customer's experience remains unchanged. Essentially all their appliances will operate in the same way they usually do."
Smart meters such as this one are what make United Energy's project possible. IMAGE: United Energy.
It's an idea that might appear simple and seamless to consumers but has a lot of complexity and ingenuity behind it.
While it has long been possible to make such an adjustment in voltage, the difficulty lay in making sure adjustments at substation level across different points in the system were coordinated in order to provide the ideal level of system-wide voltage drop.
Without detailed feedback, and a way of coordinating varying voltage changes at different substations it was not possible to make the change without a risk of negative impacts on customers and the network.
But the installation of smart meters in recent years, in this case by the Victorian Government, that has changed all that. The meters, which are installed in all Victorian homes, will feed back information to the United Energy control centre.
There, an algorithm will use that information to control the individual voltage reductions at each substation, tailoring them so that each part of the network achieves a safe level of reduction and the cumulative effect of those reductions produces the overall desired voltage drop
This process is expected to deliver 2-3 per cent of energy savings during a demand response event.
"That will translate to 12 MW of demand across our distribution service area in the first year," Bray says.
"That equates to about 10-20,000 homes that could potentially be supplied in the event of a generation shortfall."
By year three the project expects to deliver 30 MW of demand response.
"It's a very exciting opportunity for us to get involved in an industry wide program that can allow us to expand on our capabilities in demand management," Bray says.
Who participates?
The project will be used on each and every one of United Energy's 660,000 customers. Of those, around 90 per cent are residential customers and the remainder are a mix of smaller and large businesses and agricultural producers.
"One of the challenges distribution businesses have faced is that whenever there is a capacity constraint there has been a need to upgrade the network with poles and wires," Bray says.
"What we like about demand response is it gives us an additional lever to manage those challenges. DR allows us and our customers to get involved with proactively managing demand."

Working Model for Divided Oval: Butterfly
Photo by William J. Hebert.
Henry Moore was deeply interested in nature and organic forms, which lead to his pioneering work in abstraction. Although this sculpture is not a literal interpretation of a butterfly, it suggests the general contours, symmetry of wings, and the grace and beauty of their movements. This work is one of the many works from Moore's mature career which was initially inspired by small bones that the artist discovered on his rural studio grounds. A pedestal-scale sculpture or "working model," it served as the basis for the colossal-scale work of the same title in Berlin, Germany.

Many otherwise healthy people suffer from bowel incontinence or accidental bowel leakage. Symptoms that are distressing and hard to talk about can isolate a person and restrict inter-personal relations.
Relationships – with friends, family, doctors, and caregivers – are one of the most important things in contributing to how well a person with incontinence is able to overcome the obstacles imposed by the condition, and carry on with normal daily living.
Relationships which provide understanding allow people to feel empowered. They are better able to contend with the every day challenges of living with incontinence. People are more likely to be empowered when they're able to express themselves and receive support.
It takes courage for a person to say that they experience incontinence. To be met with disinterest or a lack of understanding only heightens feelings of hopelessness or isolation. These issues create challenges to maintaining and building relationships that people face who suffer from incontinence.
Forging a strong relationship takes work on both sides. Here are some pointers on how to ensure that your relationships are strong and supportive.
It is important to listen. Many people with incontinence just need an outlet to express their frustration. They need to be able to work through the levels of grief that are associated with the loss they feel.
People with incontinence should not be made to feel bad about themselves, shamed, or embarrassed even in a joking way. Humor can be uplifting, but only if the person has come to terms with the condition. There is nothing funny about incontinence for the person who lives with it every day.
People with incontinence need to be prepared. It may mean wearing protective undergarments. It helps to have clean-up supplies and extra clothes available at all times. Wearing a protective undergarment is difficult to accept. People will avoid wearing them as long as possible. There is a sense of denial that exists with incontinence. Wearing a protective undergarment means acknowledging, and no longer denying, the incontinence.
Reassurance of access to restroom facilities is important. The first thing to do, when somewhere outside the home, is to identify where the restroom is and assure easy access.
It is important to be flexible. Plans may need to be changed at the last minute. If the person with incontinence does not feel comfortable leaving home, they should not be forced to do so. Tomorrow may well be a better day.

Mustafa joined the team last year, and stepped into the role of head lad in September following the sudden and very sad death of Claude Lenoir who had been with us for over 25 years. Mustafa had previously worked for Jonathon Pease during the golden years of Bago, Maxios et al. He is supported by Petula, who manages the yard and has been with John for over 15 years. Christophe, as travelling head lad, is undoubtedly the most photographed member of staff, accompanying the runners both home and abroad throughout the year. Christophe has been a part of the team for nearly ten years.
The horses receive the best possible care from the team of vets notably Flore Campion and Sophie de la Farge of BMC & Mennessier, as well as from the equine physiotherapist, Sarah Pilkington.
In the office we have been fortunate to snap up Benoite Lallié who had also worked for Jonathon Pease for many years following the much deserved retirement of the wonderful Nadine Sudre who had, unbelievably, put up with me for over 25 years.
Lizzy Sainty is in charge of marketing and therefore responsible for this great website, all social media stuff and thus all the errors contained therein! Now being on twitter is like taking possession of a new sports car…..fun, a bit flashy but potentially very dangerous when you've had a few. So most of the time it will be Lizzy at the wheel.
For me the most important side to anyone working with horses is that they care, really care. If the staff care, the horses feel it. Happy horses win races.
Xavier Nakkachdji trained for 20 years in Chantilly and I'm delighted that he has joined the team in 2017 to work alongside me. Xavier's role is to help with race planning and the purchase of new horses. Xavier is an expert in claiming horses, moving them up, being able to pinpoint the interesting horses. His experience and input with be invaluable going forward.
Claiming races are a big part of French racing. Every year there are horses that come out of claiming races to become stakes and then group horses. It's a very effective way for owners to have a lot of fun and a lot of bang for their buck. It's different from yearlings where you are "buying the dream" but when you buy a claiming horse, to use a French expression, you are buying a horse with "the keys in your hand". A horse that is ready to run with a proven track record.
When our old vet left to work for France Galop there was a young vet who I advised to go into partnership with John Mcveigh of Baker Mcveigh, an excellent veterinary practice with premises in South Africa, Newmarket and France. Our two vets Sophie and Flore now have a partnership with Baker Mcveigh in Chantilly and they are a young, progressive and pro-active outfit. Times have changed in training and although you must not lean too heavily on your vets it's interesting to have a young team with a modern and international outlook involved in the welfare of our race horses. John Mcveigh is very well known on the international stage. He's an extremely intelligent man and it's very rare to have a vet who can run veterinary practices across three different countries, but he seems to do it very successfully. It's very useful to have him on the team for referrals. He's vastly experienced and is a great asset when we are looking for a second opinion on illness or lameness in the horses. Modern technology has moved on so much now that if you have a complicated issue with a set of x-rays they can be sent to John for an early diagnosis which can be vital. He brings a lot to the game with his experience and knowledge. He's also a very witty and amusing man and it's been fun working with him.

Tuttosport: Milan have Celtic and Schalke stars on wish list ahead of January window
By Oliver Fisher - 13 October 2020, 11:31
AC Milan are expected to try and sign Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic again in the January window but there are alternative targets, a report claims.
The Rossoneri were repeatedly linked with a move for Milenkovic throughout the summer mercato but were ultimately unable to conclude a deal with Fiorentina who continued to persist with a high asking price.
Tuttosport (via MilanNews) are reporting that Milenkovic remains Milan's first choice target for the defensive department ahead of the January window, but there are also other names on the Rossoneri's radar.
For example, Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are also big admirers of Ozan Kabak from Schalke 04. The Turkish defender was close to joining the Rossoneri in the summer, so another attempt to sign him cannot be ruled out if there are more difficulties regarding Milenkovic.
Also on the list are Kristoffer Ajer of Celtic and German Pezzella of Fiorentina, who were linked during the last window too.

LACEY - Fire dealt severe damage Wednesday to Caffrey's Tavern on South Main Street, a popular, iconic restaurant.
Justin Roth, a Lacey resident, said he goes to Caffrey's Tavern at least two nights a week for several years.
"It's the heart of the town," said Justin Roth, A Lacey resident who had been planning to go there Thursday to watch football. "It's the weekly place to be."
Fire departments from at least seven towns, the Ocean County sheriff and prosecutor's offices responded. Lacey Police Sgt. Mike Eden said there were no injuries, and workers were evacuated early when smoke was first reported coming from the kitchen area just before 9 a.m.
The three-alarm fire was under control by about 11:30 a.m., and then firefighters went into "extended overhaul," which meant working inside putting out pockets of fire, said Dan Sclafane, deputy chief of the Forked River Fire Department.
Smoke could be seen billowing from Caffrey's for blocks and flames and debris could be seen coming out of the roof. By about 11 a.m., most of the roof in the back of the restaurant appeared to be completely destroyed.

Scaflane said firefighters went into the building at about 9 a.m., but were pushed out by "heavy fire." From about 9 to 10:30, most of the fire was fought from above the building.
South Main, which is also Route 9, was closed to traffic from Beach Boulevard to the south and Salters Lane to the north. Route 9 reopened at about 3 p.m.
Thank you everybody for the kind wishes
no one was harmed in the incident
we will be shutting down our facebook page until furter notice
— Caffreys Tavern (@CaffreysTavern) September 5, 2018
Eden said the road was closed to draw water from wherever they could to put out the fire.
Workers could be seen disconnecting power lines to the building, and New Jersey Natural Gas was shutting gas lines to the building early on, Eden said.
County and state fire investigators will investigate the blaze, but not until it's safe to enter, according to the Ocean County Prosecutor's Office. The Ocean County Sheriff's office sent a drone over the fire to get a better idea of what was going on.
Caffrey's co-owner Joe DePasquale, who has worked at the restaurant since it's opening 22 years ago, said his business has meant "everything" to himself and his staff.
"We've had babies, we've had kids grow up there," he said. "We've had very little turnover in the past. We've made it a great place to work."
DePasquale said Caffrey's, which uses the motto "No strangers here, just friends you haven't met" on its website, has become "your local neighborhood bar."
DePasquale's son ran into the house as he was about to leave for work at about 8:30 a.m. to tell him the restaurant was ablaze. When he arrived on scene he saw smoke pouring from every window and flames shooting out of the roof. He stood "in disbelief," watching the blaze consume his restaurant.
But Wednesday evening DePasquale vowed to rebuild.
"We love them all," he said of his customers. "We'll be back better than ever."

Wawa workers from the convenience store next door to the tavern ferried food and water to first responders throughout the sweltering morning. The temperature hovered around 95 degrees at 11 a.m., with the heat index at 113.
"It's so sad," said Talia Pisciotta, the general manager of the Wawa. "It's like a staple in this town."
Scroll down to see the community's reaction to the fire on Twitter.
Mayor Nicholas Juliano said he rushed to the restaurant after his wife told him about the fire. He said he watched as fire crews battled the blaze from the roof of the building.
"It's an iconic place. Everybody goes to it," said Juliano. "I remember it when it was Gordon's Restaurant. It's been there forever. It supplied all the food for when they were building the (Oyster Creek) power plant, too. It goes back a long way. There's a lot of history there."
"I really feel bad for the owners," he added.
Restaurant employees were watching the blaze, some visibly upset.

Let me re-introduce you to our esteemed 'first family'
June 3, 2021 Joseph Farah
The headline in the Daily Mail, arguably the world's largest newspaper, was the following:
"EXCLUSIVE: Hunter's 'stripper' baby mama was an assistant at HIS firm and after she had his baby he kicked her off company health insurance – disproving claims he had 'no recollection' of her."
In a magnum opus story, the paper recounted that Lunden Roberts was working at Hunter Biden's firm, Rosemont Seneca, when she became pregnant in late 2017. Roberts, 29, gave birth to Hunter's fourth child, Navy Joan Roberts, in August 2018 following a fling with the president's son in late 2017. Hunter, 51, initially denied paternity and in his memoir, "Beautiful Things," claimed he had "no recollection of our encounter."
It's worth reading for those with a strong stomach to learn the truth that so many Americans never got the privilege of knowing. They were deprived of knowing because of Big Tech-Big Media.
But I'll short-circuit it for those who don't – have a strong stomach, that is.
The bombshell messages show that just three months after Roberts gave birth to their baby girl, Hunter asked his assistant to make sure that the new mother had been kicked off his company's health insurance plan.
The texts appeared on Hunter's abandoned laptop, which, by the way, was confirmed as his laptop, despite his less-than-open attitude about its ownership.
This is not a kid. He's 51 years old. He was, at the time of the conception, still in a relationship with his brother's widow, Hallie Biden. This was at least his fourth child.
After a DNA test proved he was the father, the president's son claimed he did not have enough money to pay child support – despite living in a $12,000-per-month home in Hollywood and driving a Porsche. When the judge ordered him to produce financial records, Hunter settled out of court for a reported $2.5 million.
Roberts had previously been reported as a former stripper at a Washington, D.C., club Hunter frequented, but texts reveal she was in fact an employee at his consultancy firm, Rosemont Seneca. December 2018 texts from his assistant at the firm, Katie Dodge, say that a woman named "Lunden" had been on the payroll for at least nine months that year.
Texts messages from Hunter's abandoned laptop show Lunden informed him about the baby's due date and pleaded for help in caring for the child multiple times in 2018, but her messages went ignored.
And so constitutes the first family of the United States circa 2021.
Joe Biden and first lady Jill also have yet to meet Navy Joan. Isn't that sad?
Say what you will about Joe and Hunter, but they live in a world of entitlement, privilege, protection from all threats – especially the FBI and Justice Department. Joe says Hunter is the smartest man he knows. So why doesn't he give him a Cabinet post? Oh shoot, I don't want to give him any ideas.
Old Joe excuses this latest scandal – and then some.
What does that tell you about him?
By now, you no doubt know everything about Joe Biden you want to know, or need to know.
Our nation doesn't deserve this kind of "leadership."
Just so you know which kind we do deserve, it's the kind of leadership that won the last election. President Donald J. Trump. Wasn't his presidency sensational? Isn't he a man who loves and reveres America? Hasn't he raises fabulous kids, too? Did your taxes go up under Trump? Were you able to load up your gas tank without lines and exorbitant prices? Do you believe girls can be boys and boys girls? It's silly. It's not real. Do you believe in abortion on demand? Not with President Trump.
There are a thousand reasons to go for Trump – hopefully in 2024. That is our hope to once again Make America Great!

Cristiano Ronaldo left this fan covered in blood after he booted the ball into his face during a Spanish premiership game.
The 27-year-old Real Madrid star was facing Getafe with the scores at nil-nil when he cleared the ball with his powerful right foot.
He hit the ball with such ferocity the helpless fan couldn't react in time and the missile struck him straight in the face.
The fan suffered a severely-bloodied nose and required medical treatment on the touchline.
Ronaldo then put in a super-human performance for Real, helping himself to a hat-trick as the title contenders cruised home 4-0.
But the kind-hearted star showed his human side at the end of the match by walking over to the crowd to hand the injured fan a shirt.

Ancient cultures used ostrich oil as a cosmetic and in the treatment of lesions, burns, contact dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, dry skin, dry hair conditions, bed sores, and many other ailments. It is said that Cleopatra and the Queen of Sheba used ostrich oil as part of their beauty regiment to maintain their beauty in the hot, dry, desert climate. Ostrich oil has a high content of Omega 3, 6 and 9, the skin loving, moisturizing and conditioning properties!
Ostrich oil is high in Omega 3, 6 and 9, the skin loving Essential Fatty Acids. We know that the fatty acids are very important for cell growth, division and recovery. Some research shows that when the essential fatty acids, omega 3 and omega 6, are applied to wounds, they will show improvement. It is thought that it is the content of the Essential Fatty Acids in ostrich oil is why many find relief to skin problems. Ostrich oil is non-comedogenic, in other words, does not clog pores.
Ostrich oil is not a modern discovery but one reportedly used by ancient cultures to help heal and repair skin. It is said that Cleopatra and Nephrites, the Queen of Sheba used ostrich oil to maintain their beauty. Others used it to heal burns and reduce scarring, heal lesions and reduce skin irritations such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.
Ostrich oil is an ideal ingredient to help maintain a soft and healthy skin as it contains these three fatty acids necessary for rejuvenating and repairing skin cells damaged through every day stress, exposure to weather, injury and aging.
Ostrich oil contains Omega 6 ( Lineic ) , Omega 9 ( Oleic ) Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) and certain Vitamins and Amino Acids to help maintain the health of your skin membranes. Ostrich Oil penetrates deeply into the skin unlike petroleum based products and provides a luxurious moisture for hours without clogging pores.
Ostriches convert the vegetable oil in seeds to an animal fat that is extremely high in EFA's. The Myelin Sheath, which insulates our nerves, consists of EFA's and when the body lacks these, our nerves become irritated and inflamed which can cause many nerve and skin conditions. Because it replenishes the EFA's, it is naturally soothing.
Ostrich Oil can be combined with a number of Essential Oils to promote relief of many ailments.
There have been reports of Ostrich Oil, along with added Tea Tree oil, that has helped patients undergoing radiation treatments for Cancer. The oil has helped to relieve the painful aspects of burns. In addition, some have reported Ostrich Oil helping with Multiple Sclerosis leg cramps. These are based on individuals and are not a scientific study. We make no guarantees.
Oil from ostrich has been used for centuries. It is natural and soothing oil, highly penetrating, with natural anti-inflammatory characteristics offering natural pain relief, with excellent moisturizing capability. The ostrich oil is also available in "natural" to use as is or you may add your own favorite aromatherapy oil. Try it for: arthritis, rheumatism, skin moisturizer, acne and pimples, muscular aches, joint pains, sprains, massage, multiple sclerosis, antiseptic, burns, dry chapped skin, cracked heels, dry hair, and insect bites.
Ostrich oil has excellent penetrating qualities. It goes right through the skin barrier with the ability to carry other active ingredients with it deeply into the body.
Linolenic Acid(Omega 3) can provide temporary relief of joint pain and aches and sprains. Another component, Oleic Acid(Omega 10)has a local anti-inflammatory effect on dermal tissues which helps stop the itch of poison ivy, rashes, insect bites. Together these fatty acids can restore the balance in cell membranes. Nerve cells thus rejuvenated are believed to have resulted in improvements to patients with multiple sclerosis.


Update 16 April 2010: I have created a drop-in extension, wowhead-mediawiki, to easily create Wowhead tooltips and links within Mediawiki.
Some form of data mining had to be implemented.
The data had to be available to hand-written pages, dynamic pages, MediaWiki, and phpBB.
It had to be nifty.
Most WoW veterans are familiar with Thottbot. The Thottbot addon uploads in-game data to a third-party server, giving players a searchable database of items, recipes, bosses, quests, and just about everything else in the game. The item pages are modeled around the Warcraft tooltip style. This information is about as comprehensive as it gets, so that means the hard part is done: data has already made it out of Warcraft, and is just waiting for a script to pick it up.
Using a combination of the Curl library (for fetching web pages) and the Document Object Model methods (for parsing XML and HTML files), a Thottbot page can be dissected and the "tooltip" extracted. This data can then be stored in a local database to lessen the load on external servers.
It turns out the World of Warcraft website uses tooltip functions from the folks over at Dynamic Drive. All that's left is to populate the tooltip with cached data from Thottbot. We have the tooltips in our database, but MediaWiki and phpBB don't have access. So, Ajax enters from stage right.

Coronavirus infections: reproductive number increases to 1.79

20 June 2020 Saturday 19:19
Within 24 hours, the health offices have reported in Germany, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) 601 new infections with the Coronavirus. On the previous day, the number had located with 770 cases, noticeably higher than on previous days. The increase in case numbers is mainly due to major outbreaks in North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse and Berlin, it was said by the RKI.
Due to an outbreak in a meat processing operation of the East Westphalian Gütersloh district exceeds the Federal government and the länder agreed threshold of 50 Corona infections within a week per 100,000 inhabitants currently clear. The SPD politician Karl Lauterbach called for a Lockdown. Until Saturday, the number of acquired new infections rose to well over 1000. For many employees of the battle company, Tönnies Tests were still pending. All of the approximately 6500 Tönnies-employees at the location in Rheda-Wiedenbrück had to with all household members in quarantine. "We have no significant entry of coronavirus cases in the General population," said the district administrator of the Kreis Gütersloh, Sven-Georg Adenauer.
The reproduction number, in short the R-value, according to the RKI estimates with data 20.6., 0.00, 1.79 (before: 1,06). This means that an Infected person in the means of infecting more than one other people. The R-value in each case forms the infection from happening about a week and a half before. Since the middle of may, the RKI is also a so-called Seven-days-R. It refers to a longer period of time and is therefore subject to less current fluctuations. According to the RKI estimates of this value increased with data 20.6., 0.00, 1.55 (previous day: 1,17). He shows that the Infection occurred from 8 to 16 days.
the estimated reproduction numbers (R-value and 7-day R-value) over 1, show that the number of new cases don't go back at the moment and was from the RKI. This would be related to the local clusters. "Because the case numbers in Germany to a low level, influence these outbreaks, the value of the reproduction number of relatively strong." A General increase was used to derive so far.
keep Track of all the important developments from Germany and the world in the Liveblog of the F. A. Z.
in Total have been infected since the beginning of the Corona-crisis 189.135 people in Germany demonstrated that Sars-CoV-2, as the RKI reported on Saturday morning (data 20.6., 0: 00). 8883 confirmed with the Virus infected people have died thus, in Germany. Three Covid-19-deaths in under 20 Year olds have been sent. The deceased were between 3 and 18 years of age and had pre-existing conditions. About 174.400 people have survived the infection, according to the RKI estimates.
Among the transmitted Covid-19-cases, it was indicated to the RKI, according to well-13.600 cases, that the Concerned in medical facilities such as hospitals, medical practices, dialysis facilities, or emergency services were working. 73 percent of these Patients were female, 27 percent male. In the middle of the Affected were 41 years of age, 20 of them died.

Choose High Quality Mens Breitling Replica Watches Online
The Breitling Replica Arnold and Son Constant Force Tourbillon looks complicated at first glance. Breitling Replica However, when you examine it closely you will see that it is a simple watch in terms of display. It has three hands (hours and minutes at the center and a small seconds) and that's it. Breitling Replica There is no calendar, no unusual way to tell time, no minute repeater, or double-rattrapante clock... just the time. Then you sit down, take a closer look at the things in front of your eyes and Breitling Replica realize that your initial impression was correct. The Arnold and Son Constant Force Tourbillon watch is quite complex, not just in terms of its display but also in how the movement drives the 3 hands. It was designed to be precise in every position and over the Breitling Replica entire power reserve. Each artifice has been designed to increase the accuracy and chronometry. Period! The second blast is the construction of the movement, which has been considered to be both efficient and elegant as well as perfectly balanced.Breitling Replica
The Breitling Replica Arnold and Swiss Replica Watches Son Constant Force Tourbillon has 4 complications. This is in addition to the indication of the time. Breitling Replica However, the goal is to increase the accuracy and that this be done over the entire length the power reserve. We have a double barrel, but not in parallel, then a constant force device and a one-minute tripbillon, and finally a deadbeat second (or what Arnold and Son call a "seconde morte")Tourbillon is an escapement that Abraham Louis Breguet patented in 1801. It was developed at the end of 18th century. Both pocket watches, marine chronometers, and Breitling Replica clocks had the same problem at that time. They were in a static position. For instance, pocket watches were kept inside a vest pocket and spent most of their time upright. Gravity has an effect on the regulator of watches, just as gravity does on everything else on Earth. Watches' rate was adversely affected by Earth's gravitational forces, particularly the balance, whose oscillations were crucial to the accuracy and precision of the movement. Abraham-Louis Breguet Breitling Replica came up with the idea of enclosing the balance, balance spring, and escapement in a small cage that rotates on itself, completing one revolution per minute. The regulating organ can then adopt successively all vertical positions. Rate errors cancel each other out.Breitling Replica
Nowadays,Breitling Replica the utility of a tourbillon can be questioned.Breitling Replica Watches Tourbillons are wristwatches that track the wearer's movements and so are rarely placed in a static position. While this is true when the watch has been worn, it is not applicable when it is Breitling Replica sitting on your nightstand or in your safe. While the importance of a tourbillon is not a given, Greubel Forsey proved the usefulness of a watch with such a device by winning the 2011 International Chronometry Competition (with a remarkable score).The Arnold and Son Constant Force Tourbillon comes with a one minute tourbillon. It is very precise in its construction. To make the balance lighter, more balanced, and more aerodynamic, the balance is made Breitling Replica of two arches instead of a complete circle of metal. Although this has a very small influence, it is still a testament to the hard work Arnold and Son put into every detail.The Arnold and Son Constant Force Tourbillon's tourbillon regulator is not directly connected to the gear train. Instead, the delivery of torque is Breitling Replica controlled using a mechanism that maintains the energy supply to the escapement. Let's start by stating the problem. A main spring is what gives energy to a watch. It is a long, strong spring that is relatively large (relatively speaking, considering the size of the Breitling Replica watch) and is wound. The spring then unwinds to provide energy to the gear train. This energy is called the power reserve. A watch has torque, unlike a car loaded with gasoline. The main issue is that the main springs of watches react as every other kind of spring. This means that they have more torque when fully wound and less when almost unwound. This means that a fully wound spring delivers more torque to both the gear train, and then to the escapement. An almost unwound spring gives the escapement less energy.Breitling Replica
The Breitling Replica watch's chronometric performance can be affected by this fluctuation in energy.Breitling Replica A watch that is fully wound will run better than one that is almost unwound. This is also why it is Breitling Replica important to regularly wind your watch. This is a difficult situation for watchmakers who need to regulate the watch and its regulator organ. The torque transmitted to the escapement can vary from one watchmaker to another. Watchmakers dream of Breitling Replica the constant force. This means that no matter how winding the main spring takes place, the torque level remains constant. Unfortunately, a true 100% constant force is still a fantasy. However, several devices make it possible to get very close to this engineer's dream.Arnold and Son chose a "retouroire" solution for Constant Force Tourbillon. This is something also used by FP Journe Breitling Replica


We met the guys at Craft Academy while we were at Craft Beer Rising earlier this year. We were super impressed by their beers and branding, and when we got chatting, we fell in love with their story. Craft Academy gives young people the chance to get involved with the beer industry, by giving them a place to learn more about the process of brewing. This can prevent young people from going into unemployment, while learning skills that ensures the future of good beer. What's not to love about a beer apprenticeship!
So we were super happy to collaborate with them on a new beer – a 5.5% New England India Pale Ale called 'Crust Academy' – brewed with fresh surplus bread sourced from local Blackbird Bakery. It was also the perfect opportunity for two of Toast's interns to experience brewing first hand, with the students at Craft Academy becoming teachers for the day. They got stuck in, preparing the bread and mashing in with the malts, and working out ingredient ratios with the Craft Academy team. Toaster Lauren's highlight of the day? Tasting the 'brewers breakfast'.
We loved chatting about bread and why there's so much surplus produced, while sampling a few slices of the delicious loaves with lunch. The afternoon finished with a sampling of some of Craft Academy's existing beers – a pretty awesome finish to a day of hard work.
We'll be launching Crust Academy on 23rd August at the brewery in Herne Hill, based in the Florence Pub. For a free pint, register on Eventbrite here. We'll also have our Born and Bread American Pale Ale on tap.
Proceeds will go to Feedback, our partner charity that campaigns for a fairer food system.

Set your alarms….or your Tivos
writerdd Send an email May 28, 2007
Nica Lalli, author of Nothing: Something to Believe In will be on Fox & Friends (that is on the Fox News Channel–the national one) tomorrow, Tuesday May 29th at 6:20 AM.
She is doing a live segment with Kenneth Hamm, Director of the newly opened Creation Museum.
You don't want to miss this!
writerdd
Donna Druchunas is a freelance technical writer and editor and a knitwear designer. When she's not working, she blogs, studies Lithuanian, reads science and sci-fi books, mouths off on atheist forums, and checks her email every three minutes. (She does that when she's working, too.) Although she loves to chat, she can't keep an IM program open or she'd never get anything else done.
Pigasus says:
TiVo. There is no way I'm watching all that drivel for 3-5 minutes of good stuff.
bug_girl says:
oh man. That could be great, or excruciating.
Briarking says:
I hope she rips him a new one!
DrMomentum says:
Basically it was Hamm repeating "come to the museum" as many times as he could, while telling Lalli she was irrational for not believing in everything he believed in.
The Fox host tried to cast Lalli as a kook who would object to any museum involving religion, but gave her a chance to respond and she clearly expressed the difference: Hamm's isn't a museum dedicated to knowledge about a religion. It's dedicated to promoting a belief.
It was a funny moment when Hamm said "but that's an irrational belief" and it sounded like he was talking about "belief in God."
Melusine says:
Not to be so picky, but I've seen this a lot: it is Kenneth Ham, as in the meat that most often comes from the more clever and intelligent pig.
Goon mnemonic, Melusine! Thanks.
nica lalli says:
Well, I didn't say all I wanted to during the 2.5 minute "lively exchange" with the "distinguished" Mr. Hamm. But I did get a few good ones off…my favorite was when I "misunderstood" his comment about belief in god being irrational.
Really – what can we say to people like that? Hopefully I did some small part yesterday…in bringing the fallacy of this "musuem" into the open.
If you really want to see inside the place go to friendlyatheist.com – Hemant visited the place and his blog about it really great!


Liberals call conservatives names, claiming they are the bane of existence and the cause of all the problems in the world. Conservatives do the same to liberals. The hate spreads. The violence spreads. The rage grows.
Whites did it to blacks. Nazis did it to Jews. Non-Japanese Americans did it to Japanese Americans. How much of the destruction of society is caused because, on some days, one group wears the "blue collar" and other days they wear the "brown collar?" In response to the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., Jane Elliott devised the controversial and startling, "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes" exercise. If children can succumb this quickly and easily to irrational discriminatory behavior, could it be that adults aren't any different? How do we determine between behavior rationally fitting of our scorn vs. irrational behavior that has little more basis than what political badge you wear? What are the similarities between liberals and conservatives? Are there fundamental differences between political parties and, if so, what are they?

"When we were being trained as pediatricians, we were taught that babies develop in a straight line upward, but I realized they develop in spurts and then leveling-off periods. Just before each spurt, there is a period of regression when the child falls apart (the touchpoint) and the family falls apart. The child is irritable and won't eat or sleep.
"For example, just before children walk, they wake up at night and they scream during the day. The falling apart is a time the child is energizing himself to take the next step. These are predictable times and they are opportunities for helping parents understand the next step of development. They can see the falling apart as something positive instead of negative."
I don't have children, and as a psychologist don't work with young children, so I can't speak from experience about this process in the way Brazelton applies it. But I can certainly see it applying in adult development, and in my own life.
Many times it's right after I've experienced a period of overwhelm and things falling apart (cue memory of Yeats' "The Second Coming": "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold") that I realize some shift in awareness -- another step in personal healing or growth, a reorganization of my psyche around a different -- or larger -- perspective.I can see this happening in the world at large sometimes as well, with a period of upheaval following (or leading to) some cultural advance.
Ultimately I may be appreciative of the shift in consciousness while still disheartened by the events preceding it.

Richard May is one of Britain's most outstanding cellists. Since winning the BBC TV Young Musician of the Year Competition, String Section, he has developed an international career as soloist and chamber musician. He has performed most of the major cello concerti with orchestras such as the Basel Symphony Orchestra, Ulster Orchestra and BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. His concert schedule has taken him throughout the UK as well as to Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg, Denmark, Italy, South Africa, Japan and USA, with appearances at the Carnegie Hall, Wigmore Hall, Barbican and festivals in Salzburg, Berlin and Aldeburgh. After his London debut recital at the Purcell Room, which included the world premiere of Five Duos for cello and piano by Colin Matthews, he was described by The Times as "a phenomenal cellist". A recital in Basel of Bach Solo Suites gained critical acclaim for "absolute perfection and virtuosity". He also gave a recital for the TV series and Chandos CD "Solo", featuring British musicians. Richard studied with Florence Hooton at Royal Academy of Music and afterwards with William Pleeth, Paul Tortelier and Thomas Demenga. Past prizes include the National Federation of Music Societies Award and the EMI Jacqueline Du Pre Competition, where The Times wrote of the Shostakovich Sonata "simply one of the most gripping performances I have heard". Recent performances include Haydn C major Concerto with the English Sinfonia in London and Vivaldi Double Concerto with Nigel Kennedy. Richard is an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music and also teaches at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.


In 1878, motivated by the requirements of the invariant the-ory of binary forms, J. J. Sylvester constructed, for every graphwith possible multiple edges but without loops, its symmetrizedgraph monomial, which is a polynomial in the vertex labels ofthe original graph. We pose the question for which graphs thispolynomial is nonnegative or a sum of squares. This problem ismotivated by a recent conjecture of F. Sottile and E. Mukhin onthe discriminant of the derivative of a univariate polynomial andby an interesting example of P. and A.

Med syfte att undersöka hur diskursen som kulturellt meningsskapande resulterar i kollektiva uppmaningar till disciplinering, i detta fall av kvinna som föreställd moder, klarlägger studien hur de meningsproducerande sociala maktprocesserna möjliggörs och vidmakthålls. Förenad med den politiska diskursteorins förståelse för hur de rådande normerna och värderingarna påverkar individers handlingsutrymme, utreder uppsatsen den juridiska apparatens och den offentliga styrningens diskursiva upprepning av folkhemmets reproduceringspolitik. Med intervjumaterial visar studien hur erfarenheten av hemabort resulterar i en internaliseras självdisciplinering av kroppen hos kvinnan. Den offentliga styrningens verbala praktiker klargör abortdiskursens sociala kulturprocess och dess maktstruktur.
The transformation of cities is a challenge of global significance that will depend on the capacity to re-imagine the potential of cities, and thus needs more than standard technocratic urban planning approaches. Deep engagement with the arts provides one avenue for recasting the future of cities. This thesis explores the question of how 'critical urban art interventions' develop alternative ways of knowing urban nature, and the opportunities and limitations of using art to reimagine the future of cities. By drawing on urban political ecology and cultural geography, the thesis documents and explores the aims and tactics used in five urban art interventions to reimagine sites of urban nature in Stockholm. Qualitative interviews and participant observation were carried to explore these questions. Findings suggest that tactics used in urban art interventions promote embodied ways of knowing, and simultaneously interacting with the physical and socio- historical constructions of sites of urban natures.
Seagrass ecosystems are expected to benefit from the global increase in CO2 in the ocean because the photosynthetic rate of these plants may be C-i-limited at the current CO2 level. As well, it is expected that lower external pH will facilitate the nitrate uptake of seagrasses if nitrate is cotransported with H+ across the membrane as in terrestrial plants. Here, we investigate the effects of CO2 enrichment on both carbon and nitrogen metabolism of the seagrass Zostera noltii in a mesocosm experiment where plants were exposed for 5 months to two experimental CO2 concentrations (360 and 700 ppm). Both the maximum photosynthetic rate (Pm) and photosynthetic efficiency (alpha) were higher (1.3- and 4.1-fold, respectively) in plants exposed to CO2-enriched conditions. On the other hand, no significant effects of CO2 enrichment on leaf growth rates were observed, probably due to nitrogen limitation as revealed by the low nitrogen content of leaves. The leaf ammonium uptake rate and glutamine synthetase activity were not significantly affected by increased CO2 concentrations. On the other hand, the leaf nitrate uptake rate of plants exposed to CO2-enriched conditions was fourfold lower than the uptake of plants exposed to current CO2 level, suggesting that in the seagrass Z. noltii nitrate is not cotransported with H+ as in terrestrial plants. In contrast, the activity of nitrate reductase was threefold higher in plant leaves grown at high-CO2 concentrations. Our results suggest that the global effects of CO2 on seagrass production may be spatially heterogeneous and depend on the specific nitrogen availability of each system. Under a CO2 increase scenario, the natural levels of nutrients will probably become limiting for Z. noltii. This potential limitation becomes more relevant because the expected positive effect of CO2 increase on nitrate uptake rate was not confirmed.
Background: Sampling genomes with Fosmid vectors and sequencing of pooled Fosmid libraries on the Illumina platform for massive parallel sequencing is a novel and promising approach to optimizing the trade-off between sequencing costs and assembly quality. Results: In order to sequence the genome of Norway spruce, which is of great size and complexity, we developed and applied a new technology based on the massive production, sequencing, and assembly of Fosmid pools (FP). The spruce chromosomes were sampled with similar to 40,000 bp Fosmid inserts to obtain around two-fold genome coverage, in parallel with traditional whole genome shotgun sequencing (WGS) of haploid and diploid genomes. Compared to the WGS results, the contiguity and quality of the FP assemblies were high, and they allowed us to fill WGS gaps resulting from repeats, low coverage, and allelic differences. The FP contig sets were further merged with WGS data using a novel software package GAM-NGS. Conclusions: By exploiting FP technology, the first published assembly of a conifer genome was sequenced entirely with massively parallel sequencing. Here we provide a comprehensive report on the different features of the approach and the optimization of the process. We have made public the input data (FASTQ format) for the set of pools used in this study: ftp://congenie.org/congenie/Nystedt_2013/Assembly/ProcessedData/FosmidPools/.(alternatively accessible via http://congenie.org/downloads).The software used for running the assembly process is available at http://research.scilifelab.se/andrej_alexeyenko/downloads/fpools/.
No single experimental method can discover all connections in the interactome. A computational approach can help by integrating data from multiple, often unrelated, proteomics and genomics pipelines. Reconstructing global networks of functional coupling (FC) faces the challenges of scale and heterogeneity--how to efficiently integrate huge amounts of diverse data from multiple organisms, yet ensuring high accuracy. We developed FunCoup, an optimized Bayesian framework, to resolve these issues. Because interactomes comprise functional coupling of many types, FunCoup annotates network edges with confidence scores in support of different kinds of interactions: physical interaction, protein complex member, metabolic, or signaling link. This capability boosted overall accuracy. On the whole, the constructed framework was comprehensively tested to optimize the overall confidence and ensure seamless, automated incorporation of new data sets of heterogeneous types. Using over 50 data sets in seven organisms and extensively transferring information between orthologs, FunCoup predicted global networks in eight eukaryotes. For the Ciona intestinalis network, only orthologous information was used, and it recovered a significant number of experimental facts. FunCoup predictions were validated on independent cancer mutation data. We show how FunCoup can be used for discovering candidate members of the Parkinson and Alzheimer pathways. Cross-species pathway conservation analysis provided further support to these observations.
Background: In order to generate hypotheses regarding the mechanisms by which 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin) causes toxicity, we analyzed global gene expression changes in developing zebrafish embryos exposed to this potent toxicant in the context of a dynamic gene network. For this purpose, we also computationally inferred a zebrafish (Danio rerio) interactome based on orthologs and interaction data from other eukaryotes. Methodology/Principal Findings: Using novel computational tools to analyze this interactome, we distinguished between dioxin-dependent and dioxin-independent interactions between proteins, and tracked the temporal propagation of dioxin-dependent transcriptional changes from a few genes that were altered initially, to large groups of biologically coherent genes at later times. The most notable processes altered at later developmental stages were calcium and iron metabolism, embryonic morphogenesis including neuronal and retinal development, a variety of mitochondria-related functions, and generalized stress response (not including induction of antioxidant genes). Within the interactome, many of these responses were connected to cytochrome P4501A (cyp1a) as well as other genes that were dioxin-regulated one day after exposure. This suggests that cyp1a may play a key role initiating the toxic dysregulation of those processes, rather than serving simply as a passive marker of dioxin exposure, as suggested by earlier research. Conclusions/Significance: Thus, a powerful microarray experiment coupled with a flexible interactome and multi-pronged interactome tools (which are now made publicly available for microarray analysis and related work) suggest the hypothesis that dioxin, best known in fish as a potent cardioteratogen, has many other targets. Many of these types of toxicity have been observed in mammalian species and are potentially caused by alterations to cyp1a.

This study is an inquiry into how actors in the Swedish gambling industry, gambling problem prevention and support structures articulate responsibility for the problems that arise from gambling. A main point made in the study is that responsibility for the gambling-related harm is actively constructed and reproduced in a hegemonic way that situates the main responsibility for the emergence and handling of gambling-related harm on the individual gambler and that relies heavily on the individual's capacity to control and adjust his/her consumption to prevent gambling related harm. Drawing on extensive ethnographical fieldwork on responsible gambling practices in the Swedish context, the author brings attention to the often-unproblematized view of contemporary responsible gambling measures, and the need to develop a self-reflexive critical analysis of the ways in which responsibility is divided and assigned in this politicized market and wider policy field. As a conceptual contribution, an analytical distinction is suggested between measures of direct responsibilization (teaching and training gamblers to be responsible) and measures of indirect responsibilization (teaching and training intermediaries in the market, such as gambling agents and support association staff, to relinquish responsibility on behalf of the gambling consumer). The results indicate that such a distinction is fruitful for a nuanced understanding of contemporary responsibility policies and practices.
markets where responsibility is shifted down from states and organizations to individuals in their role as consumers. How then is responsibility (re)constructed and (re)distributed amongst market actors? This empirical paper contributes to our understanding of the 'preventive turn' in governance and more specifically the current trend towards self-control, and self-management by an analysis of consumer responsibilization at the market level. The paper is empirically based on interviews with key informants involved in attempts to organize rational, responsible consumers in the contested Swedish gambling market, a dozen participant observations of responsible gaming education (offline) and Internet studies of on-line equipment and education designed to motivate and teach gamblers to assume responsibility for gambling related problems. Drawing on a market constructionist perspective a model of responsibility in the making is presented. The paper then contributes with empirical illustrations of consumer responsibilization practices carried out in the Swedish context. Findings suggest that the responsible gambler is made up both directly and indirectly, both positively and negatively and by employment of a subtle yet powerful discourse of care.

Markets are intertwined. If a certain market is perceived as being unorganized or inappropriately organized for neighbouring markets, sellers or buyers in those adjacent markets may step in as organizers. In this chapter, I use the case of the Swedish taxi market as it developed from around 1990 until 2015 to demonstrate how hotel companies and owners of travel terminals haveassumed organizer roles in the taxi transport market. This account is based on a qualitative analysis of three cases of participant observation and eight interviews with key stakeholders. The interviews and the first two observations were conducted in the autumn of 2013, and one additional observation was conducted in the spring of 2015. In addition, the chapter is informed by a broad base of documents: previous research, industry reports and company policies, newspaper articles, and public reports.
Ek dr. Susanna Alexius vid Score, Stockholms universitet och Handelshögskolan i Stockholm ger sin syn på ansvarsfrågan inom bland annat spelmarknaden genom en sammanställning av det egna författarskapet i bl a boken Ansvar och marknader (Liber 2014) och ytterligare aktuell litteratur inom området. Hon lyfter här frågan om marknadens förutsättning att fördela och ge initiativ till ansvarstagande för spelmarknadens baksidor för att ge ytterligare fördjupning kring lösningen av problem inom spelmarknaden. Slutsatserna står delvis i kontrast mot ett förhärskande tankestoff om individualitet, beteendevetenskap och det egna ansvaret.

In this paper an historical comparative approach is applied to analyze how value conflict discourse and organization have evolved from the 1800s onward in three contested commodity markets – the alcohol, gambling and coal market. Situated mainly in the Swedish context, the three case studies demonstrate that the values at stake as well as the organizational arrangements brought forth in response to underlying value conflicts have changed significantly over time in all three markets. The commodities have stayed contested but for more or different reasons. Analyzing a dozen transformative moments in total we conclude that it matters to the organization of a market if there is an underlying value conflict and how this value conflict is configured. The comparative analysis sheds light on four processes in which value-conflict underpinnings of contested commodity markets may be shaped and altered: value addition, value expansion, value accumulation and value relocation.

Cooper: Injured Peppers sits out Orange Bowl, prompting speculation
Former teammates at Paramus Catholic remember Peppers' exploits, wonder about future
Darren Cooper
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Jabrill Peppers' Michigan career may have ended sooner than people thought.
Despite warming up with his teammates, Peppers did not play for Michigan in its Orange Bowl matchup match-up Friday night against Florida State. The Detroit Free Press reported that Peppers sustained an injury in practice, possibly to his hamstring, and ESPN had footage of him grabbing the back of his leg before the game.
Peppers' absence will further the speculation that he will turn pro and skip his final two seasons last season of eligibility at Michigan. Two other bona fide pro prospects, LSU's Leonard Fournette and Stanford's Christian McCaffrey, opted not to play in bowl games to prepare for the NFL Draft and to avoid the risk of injury. With Michigan not having anything significant to play for, Peppers could have had the same intention. Peppers was not made available to the media throughout the week in Florida. He also reportedly will graduate from the school after three years.
It's the second straight year Peppers has missed a bowl game for the Wolverines. He sat out last season's Citrus Bowl with a hand injury. He also missed the bulk of his freshman year with a knee injury.
Whether Friday was Peppers' last time in a Michigan jersey remains to be seen. In the NFL he projects as a hybrid safety/linebacker type who would also provide value as a return man on special teams. His versatility and production made him stand out in college football.
His speed and power were his calling cards in high school. He left a legacy of championships and incredible plays that wowed his teammates.
"Everybody has their Jabrill story," said Marquise Watson, who played with Peppers in 2012 with the Paladins. "I knew him since I was young and he literally could do whatever you named: punt, kick, pass, tackle, walk the dog. If you ever saw 'Friday Night Lights' he was Boobie Miles, the smart version. Everything he did was amazing."
"A lot of people have seen the run in the scrimmage against Red Bank Catholic that ended up number one on ESPN's top 10 plays, but there were plays in practice and on defense that made that play look routine," said former teammate Steve Shanley. "It's fun to watch him take back punts at Michigan; you never know what you're going to get."
"He has a special trait which I have never seen before and it was the ability to never be on his back," said another ex-teammate, Marquise Watson. "Now think about it, a lot of players have the ability to play different positions and do different things, but at some point they wound up on their backs. I've always seen Jabrill finish every run, every tackle, going forward."
Peppers, an East Orange native, began his high school career at Don Bosco, Prep, a talented athlete wearing No. 18. He started as a freshman at defensive back and a bit at running back, helping the Ironmen win a mythical national championship and two Non-Public Group 4 state titles.
After transferring to Paramus Catholic midway through his sophomore season, Peppers switched to No. 5, and his role broadened. He remained a hard-hitting member of the Paladins secondary, but also became part of a dynamic 1-2 punch at running back with Keyon Washington (now a junior tailback at Colgate) and played Wildcat quarterback when that craze swept football.
Peppers helped turn turned a program that had never experienced any sustained success into back-to-back state champions, so he finished his high school career with four state title rings. After a late push from Penn State and a flirtation with Stanford, Peppers committed to Michigan, triggering a run from North Jersey to the famed school that now includes six recruits and former Paramus Catholic head coach Chris Partridge, now the Wolverines linebackers coach.
Watson and Shanley did not go to Michigan, although each had outstanding high school careers. Shanley led the game-winning drive against Bergen Catholic to win the state title in 2012, while Watson – not Peppers – was the Defensive MVP that season. Watson just finished a stellar four-year career at Bryant, where he set the program record for tackles (256).
"Between him and Partridge, I've ditched my Notre Dame allegiance for Michigan," said Shanley. "All my buddies at school know how much pride I take in all my friends at Michigan. Sometimes they don't believe me when I tell them how I used to take 'Brill and Billy Ray [Mitchell, a redshirt sophomore lineman at Virginia Tech] to school in the morning, and to go from driving a kid to school to watching him in New York for the Heisman was special. He wasn't just a great football player and teammate, but a great friend to everyone on Paramus Catholic."
As far as whether or not Peppers will go pro, Watson said it wasn't his place to say, but he believes Peppers gave Michigan everything he had the last three seasons. Shanley guesses that it's a yes, he's going pro, but he wouldn't be surprised to see him stay to try to win the Heisman and beat Ohio State.
"This guy is going to have success wherever he ends up and at whatever position he ends up in," said Shanley. "It will be fun to see what happens and it'll be fun to tell people in the future the stories we have from high school."

Babies with Three Biological Parents Are Coming to the U.K.
The British government has given the green light for a technique that will let parents-to-be sidestep mitochondrial disease.
by Michael Reilly
The U.K. has become the first country to approve a controversial fertility treatment that involves creating babies who have three biological parents. The move is expected to help some women with rare genetic defects become mothers as soon as late 2017.
The U.K. government's Human Fertilisation and Embryo Authority has said that clinics around the country are now allowed to apply for licenses to perform mitochondrial replacement therapy. The technique involves taking a nucleus from an egg or fertilized embryo that has defective mitochondria, and swapping it into a healthy donor egg.
One clinic, the Newcastle Fertility Centre, said it planned to apply for a license within 24 hours of the announcement. A team at Newcastle University said it hopes to treat up to 25 patients a year using the technique.
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells. And while they contain just a tiny amount of genetic information, rare mutations in the mitochondria in a mother's egg (men don't pass down mitochondria to their children) can cause children to be born with cells that don't produce enough energy. The condition is often fatal.
Doctors have worked for years to find treatments, and three-parent babies were born in the late 1990s and early 2000s using a different technique. But fears that the method, known as cytoplasmic transfer, caused birth defects led the Food and Drug Administration to ask clinics to stop the procedure. More recently, Congress has made it clear it isn't interested in allowing embryos to be genetically modified, even if it means avoiding an awful disease.
An embryo that results from swapping a nucleus into a donor egg will contain genetic information from two women and one man—giving rise to a genetically modified person. But the donor's DNA will only be present in the form of mitochondria, which don't play a role in traits like a person's looks or personality.
Earlier this year, a baby boy was born in this way. And though he was born in the U.S., the procedure for creating him was carried out in Mexico, where no laws govern genetically modified embryos. In giving the technique formal approval, authorities in the U.K. say, they will be able to ensure procedures are tightly regulated and children born using mitochondrial replacement are monitored to ensure that they develop normally.
