"Boy racers" have been warned their cars could be seized and their licences confiscated if they are caught driving dangerously.
Young men who drive in an anti-social manner in Huddersfield are on West Yorkshire Police's radar following the launch of a new crackdown.
Members of the public are being encouraged to help by reporting any frequent problems to the 101 non-emergency service.
The Huddersfield Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) has said its officers won't hesitate to confiscate cars and put danger drivers through the courts following an operation in last week.
NPT officers patrolled the Birkby, Greenhead and Lindley areas due to concerns regarding dangerous driving and the anti-social use of vehicles by some people.
During an evening's operation numerous car drivers were spoken to and given warnings and advice regarding a variety of motoring matters.
One vehicle was stopped and the driver arrested for driving whilst under the influence of drugs. Enquiries into the offence continue to be progressed.

Inspector Graham Dyson of Huddersfield NPT, said: "I am acutely aware of the increase in speeding and anti-social driving across numerous areas in Huddersfield.
"We have a number of operations planned to deal with this type of behaviour, which I know causes concern for residents and our communities.
"Speeding and anti-social driving is simply unacceptable and dangerous. The consequences when things go wrong are seen on a daily basis with serious collisions.
"My officers along with Roads Policing will be out and about dealing with anyone seen to be driving in a manner that is not acceptable."

He added: "I want to make it crystal clear that we will seek to prosecute in each and every case where there is evidence to do so and those people we catch for dangerous driving offences can expect to potentially face heavy fines and lose their licences.
"I would ask anyone who has information about repeated anti social driving in their communities to contact us, as having this information, allows us to properly target our resources where they are needed."
West Yorkshire Police can be contacted via 999 for a crime in progress or 101 or www.westyorkshire.police.uk/101livechat for other incidents or information about offending.

You are here: Home / Business / Why Purchase of "Tainted" DNForum.com by New Owners = Good Investment
Why Purchase of "Tainted" DNForum.com by New Owners = Good Investment
NEW YORK, NY – As most of you have already heard, DNForum.com, has been purchased by domain name enthusiasts George Verdugo and Kevin Faler. The two now have their work cut out for them as they begin to rebrand the forum, once again, as "The Place to Talk Domains". But they have got competition – fierce competition as there are many other domain forums out there, one of which is the extremely popular NamePros.com.
I ran into George at NamesCon and one of the first things I said to him was "Congratulations on the acquisition". The second? You guessed it. "Does the former owner have anything to do with the business now?" – George assured me that, the former owner, Adam Dicker, does not. George said Adam has "Nothing to do with it". It is just himself and his partner Kevin.
I'd like to mention that I do not know Adam Dicker any more than any other forum member did and I do not want to get into any of the issues which have brought the forum down to begin with, (there seems to be hundreds of issues – some still open and unresolved). All I would like to say is that thank God I wasn't involved in any of it, as the issues were serious enough to hurt many people (allegedly), destroy the sites reputation and close it down completely (February 2016) for some time. It returned later (Back in May 2016) and then died again (December 2016).
I had wondered why no-one had purchased it yet.
Now, with it relaunched, its new owners have to look at what has and has-not historically affected brands over time.
Here is why I think the forum has a great chance at beating-the-odds of many domainer comments that it is "forever dead" and "un-revivable".
Most of the members who were affected by whatever scams there were going on by its past owner will probably never return, BUT, that number is likely minuscule to the amount of total members which remain in the database.
Many members have paid for membership on the site and were frustrated when the site closed. A number of these members will return, because they paid for the rights to be there with whatever features were included in the membership.
Members of the site are domainers and domainers want to buy and sell domains. They're addicts. They will gravitate to where the audience and the eyeballs are regardless of what may or may not have happened in the past. Especially those who had no first-hand experience in the past negativity. If the site becomes busy again, little else will matter. (Look at DigitalPoint with over 800,000 members, you practically get robbed just logging on [IMO] and the site is busier than ever.)
Additionally, here is another historic reason to consider:
Time + Good Public Relations Heal
Now, keep in mind that I know these are major brand examples below, with near limitless resources, but we're talking about brand recovery, and is it possible to recover? The answer is yes.
A textbook case of dealing with brand crisis can be examined by looking at Johnson & Johnson's 1982 recall of its best-selling Tylenol painkiller after SEVEN PEOPLE DIED from cyanide-laced capsules. PBS refers to it as the Tylenol Murders while Time Magazine the Tylenol Poisonings. Today, Johnson and Johnson have successfully restored the Tylenol brand image as a respected pain medication. About 50 million Americans use it at least once per week.
In the year 2000 word got out that Firestone tire failures had caused THO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY ONE DEATHS. You might remember SUVs, in particular, the popular Ford Explorer, was the most heavily affected, in yet another Firestone Tire deficiency which also caused Ford SUV use to slightly decline. Today, Firestone Tires continue to be sold worldwide and the name has spun off into several different divisions such as "Firestone Racing" and "Firestone Complete Auto Care".
Taco Bell restaurants has been implicated in hundreds of cases over the past two decades including multiple different public health investigations such as a Hepatitis outbreak (Hepatitis A Green Onion Outbreak – 2000), a Salmonella outbreak (Salmonella Outbreak – 2010) and an E. coli (E. coli Lettuce Outbreak – 2006). Some of the victims even had kidney failure as a result. Today, Taco Bell serves more than 2 billion customers each year in 7,000 restaurants; revenue is near 2 billion and it has over 175,000 employees.
Again, the above examples of branding recoveries are from major brands and do not necessarily compare to a niche website forum, but they are indeed examples that people could be severely hurt and/or even be killed, (in high numbers no less) from a brand and that brand can still recover.
So in my opinion, I feel the purchase of DNForum.com was a good one. I would suggest that George and Kevin read up on as much brand recovery stories as possible as they begin to re-brand and strategize on how to build back the forums good name with not only long time domainers, but new users as well. I'd figure spending about 50-75% of its income over the next year on just that. I wish them luck with it; building a brand is not easy, and I am sure re-branding one isn't any easier, but its better, in my opinion, then starting from scratch.
Overall its hard building a name in any business niche, and DNForum.com already has one, albeit, a bad name, but if you ask any public relations expert, they will tell you sometimes bad press is good press.
"Evidently this boils down to increased awareness: The mere act of introducing something to a broader public — even by saying that it stinks — increases the chances that more members of that public will want it anyway," the Times said.

This was Dicker's baby, it was a cash cow for him for a while, he did not want to let it go cheap, how do we know that the success of the site translates to more profits to Dicker down the pipeline.
First thing that comes to mind is George defending Adam Dicker when these allegations dropped, not until the whole world turned their back, did he step back. He is partners with Adam on other projects?
It is by no small chance he ended up with it?
Adam ruined this business for many who would have brought more liquidity into it, now they have taken off, I will no way support anything that helps Adam Dicker enrich himself more than he has at the expense of good hardworking people.
East LA is full of hustlers!
Julio Maysonet says
Is nice to see it back online ( nostalgia ) now is just another place for me to sell my domain names.
When I first joined DNF I upgraded my account by getting DNF$. I was joining forums, posting links in social media sites…
Fair points:
"NamePros is providing everything a forum can and they have to have like 99% market penetration in domain forum space (everyone who likes forums)."
"It's been explained by Andrew [Allemann] and others: DNFORUM had turned into a ghost town long before the deeds of Adam Dicker. If you read Shane's original post when Adam's deeds first came to light, Shane literally calls DNFORUM a 'barren wasteland.' It was dead. 5-10 spammers trying to sell their domains there doesn't change that."
"DNFORUM was outgunned (big time) by NAMEPROS before any mismanagement/deeds of one administrator. That was years ago and as Joseph [Peterson] said, NAMEPROS continues to improve and progress, much to our surprise since they have no reason to as the leaders. It's simply impossible for a new owner to bring back something that was already dead, now has a tarnished named, and is long forgotten."
I wouldn't have bought it because it will never produce a ROI. 🙁
– Frank
NamePros and Domaining com are all I need.
I have zero interest in DNForum and I don't know why anyone else would.
Stephen Adams says
NO THANKS, I don't trust the new owners! George showed his true colors last year and he's not trustworthy if you ask me!
You know what no money probably changed hands, whose to say Adam does not own 50% of it, because they said so? The same person who defended him when Sahar was going to have him on as a guest on his new show, which drew so much outrage, he was nixed, and Sahar's whole project was scrapped.
Check Elliots Blog George was front, and center saying he will be watching it, supporting Adam Dicker.
You guys aren't fooling anyone this industry can smell you waddling form a mile away.
It would have been a good investment 5 years ago but
DNF is worthless today. RIP.
Mark says
It will be hard to recover with all that's happened with this forum and previous owner. Hopefully the previous owner has no interest in this any more but we don't really know, right?
How would we? 🙂
Equalizer says
Money down the drain, providing he didn't trade or just received it for free, seriously.

Written in 1986, David Hare's chamber piece The Bay at Nice elegantly illustrates mother-daughter feuds, the bitter aftertaste of self-sacrifice, and the appreciation of art.
The play centres on the lofty aesthete Valentina (Penelope Wilton), who has been invited to the St Petersburg Hermitage to clarify whether a genuine Matisse painting has been gifted to the museum. Before she even sees the painting it is implied she already knows the answer. The real drama comes from the arrival of her 36-year-old daughter Sophia (Ophelia Lovibond) who desperately wants her mother's approval on her upcoming divorce. Sophia is married to a high-ranking Soviet party member, but wants to start life afresh with hapless but sweet Peter (David Rintoul) who is almost twice her age.
David Hare's long time collaborator Richard Eyre provides his usual clarity and assurance in the direction. Eyre first worked with Hare 47 years ago when he directed the playwright's second piece The Great Exhibition at the Hampstead Theatre Club, where Wilton also played the lead.
With over fifty years of stagecraft, Penelope Wilton's performance is, as always, immaculate. Her portrayal of Valentina is played with a gravitas that only an old pro can conjure. She is at once subtle, cruel, audacious, insightful, and delivers each line with whip flash wit that keeps the audience laughing. Her Valentina flips between brutality and generosity. She vigilantly listens for moments when she can strike her foes with her chiselled words. Her damaging self-discipline has carved out the hollow of her life. Valentina's only formidable opponent is herself.
The drama itself has little stakes. The play at its heart is a meditation on art and the creative process. There are moments of profundity in the long monologues, but this is not primo playwriting from Hare. Although it is to be applauded that the play centres on an older female protagonist, we are short changed by the fact that Valentina consistently gushes about the wonder of the male hero in this piece: Matisse and his brushwork.

Wisconsin Shop Has a Rich History of Evolving to Succeed
By Wiscon Products
Longevity requires adaptation. Anticipating change and evolving to meet it do not guarantee success. But success over a long enough period is strong evidence that a shop had the foresight to hone vital skills. Such is the case with Wiscon Products Inc. Located in Racine, Wis., the shop has pursued aggressive change when needed and is currently celebrating its 75th anniversary.
Torben Christensen joined the family business in 1999 and has served as President and CEO of Wiscon for the past decade.
Wiscon was born of expertise honed during World War II. During the war, Henry Christensen served as a tool and die maker. When the war ended, Henry had a child on the way and set of skills he could turn into a livelihood. Together with a high school friend and several other machinists, Henry opened a one-room, 80 ft² (7.43-m2) machine shop to serve local manufacturers.
In 1957, Wiscon moved into a new, 10,000 ft² (929-m²) facility. In addition to serving as a job shop for local customers, the company began manufacturing its own line of school furniture. Within several years, rapid growth justified significant expansion, and the company added another 15,000 ft² (1,394 m2) to its operations. By this time, Henry's first son was a teenager and regularly working in the shop.
"I got my first paycheck when I was 13 years old," said Rolfe Christensen. "After college, I joined the company full time, eventually buying out my dad's partners in 1975. By that point, we'd already transitioned from manual machines to NC and then to CNC, representing a pretty significant shift."
Wiscon Products credits its investment in multi-spindle technology from Index with transforming its business.
Over time, Wiscon discontinued its own products and fully embraced contract manufacturing. When Hamilton Beach decided to outsource the manufacturing of its products, it turned to Wiscon for many components, providing a steady stream of work for several decades. Wiscon consistently invested in new machinery to expand its capacity.
In 1999, Rolfe's son Torben Christensen joined the company. By then, Wiscon had a long-established reputation as a reliable screw machine shop with a knack for producing high-quality work. After many years of success, though, the shop sensed a crossroads approaching in the early 2000s.
"A lot of our work was along the lines of commodity parts," said Torben. "Around 80 percent of our work was making various widgets in quantities of 10,000 or more per week. The offshoring of that work accelerated and the portion that stayed here was having all of the profit margin squeezed out of it."
This part used to have a cycle time of 150 seconds and require four weeks to turn around a standard order of 5,000 pieces. With an Index multi-spindle, cycle time dropped to 28 seconds and a standard order is turned around in three days.
Spurred by those trends, Wiscon began planning a significant evolution of its business model. The company decided to increase its capabilities and shift to production of more complex engineered components. To enable this change, Wiscon invested in an MS52-6 multi-spindle machine from Index Corp., Noblesville, Ind.
"It was scary signing a purchase order for $1.8 million," said Rolfe. "But we knew if we didn't do it, we were going to be left behind. Index did a lot of work to prove that we would profit from the machine and be better off with it. It was still a leap of faith on our part, but if we hadn't taken it, I don't think Wiscon would be in business today."
The timing proved fortuitous. With the financial crisis of 2008, the commodity work that Wiscon had been moving away from evaporated entirely. A good thing was that the company's finances had been well managed. Entering the recession with ample cash on hand allowed Wiscon to make additional investments in advanced technology, even in a down market. Those investments included a second MS52-6, an Index C100 production turning center and a CMM.
Over the past 12 years, Wiscon Products has standardized on Index machines throughout its facility.
One particular family of parts provides insight into the transformation enabled by the MS52-6. A part in the family would first be rough turned on a cam screw machine, then transferred to a lathe for finish turning. The operator would put a square on it in a mill and then gear hob it. Finally, it would be put into a drill fixture to have a small hole drilled in it. The part had to be washed twice between processes. The total cycle time was 150 seconds and, due to movement through the shop, it would take four weeks to turn around a standard order for 5,000 pieces.
On the MS52-6, all operations are performed in a single setup with a cycle time of just 28 seconds. Instead of four weeks, the standard order of 5,000 pieces is completed in three days. Across the whole family, Wiscon is still producing 700,000 pieces annually, all on Index multi-spindles.
"It's hard to overstate what Index multi-spindle technology has meant for our success," said Torben. "When we got our first machine, we were competing with about 30 other shops for local work. Today, all of our work is national and we don't really compete with anyone." In 2010, Torben became Wiscon's president and CEO, buying out his father and continuing on with the family legacy. A commitment to tackling challenging work has been a defining aspect of his tenure leading the company.
In its early days, Wiscon Products was a traditional machine shop relying on skilled labor and manual machining processes.
"We're taking parts off of the machine complete," said Torben. "These are parts with angled holes and incredibly tight tolerances called back to a true position on the part face. We're holding bores as tight as 0.0003" [0.0076 mm]. We're holding parallelisms as tight as 2 μm. We have runout tolerances for threads that are 0.0001" [0.00254 mm] at 3" [76.2 mm] out from the data point. We invested in developing the ability to do things other shops simply can't and that's been our key to success for over a decade."
In addition to advanced technology, Wiscon also invested in its people, cultivating engineering capabilities to tackle extremely complex parts as efficiently as possible and operators who can get the most out of the machines. This has required creativity in the face of the ongoing skilled labor shortage. "For operators, we don't have a talent pool to pull from anymore," says Torben. "At this point, our goal is to find unskilled workers with potential and bring them into the training program we've developed."
Wiscon begins the recruiting process early, speaking at local high schools and middle schools, offering tours to their students and participating in an area MFG Day event. The company has worked hand-in-hand with local high schools to develop curriculum for classes on CNC machining.
Wiscon Products uses Index Virtual Machine, a digital simulation package, for training, offline programming and process optimization.
When new operators-in-training are hired, they begin a lengthy onboarding process that includes time in every department to afford them a comprehensive understanding of the full production process. From there, they spend time supporting a group of machinists on the shop floor, learning how to use measurement equipment to verify part dimensions and perform a final inspection on parts.
With that knowledge in hand, trainees are assigned to a specific machinist who provides extensive application-based training on a machine. Training also includes time spent on Index's Virtual Machine, a software product that provides a digital twin of a specific machine for the purposes of training, programming and process optimization.
Today, Wiscon has standardized on Index machines, including four multi-spindles, ten production turning centers and one vertical lathe. In recent years, the company has been able to win work from customers that were reshoring production from overseas, a trend that is expected to accelerate post-pandemic. Staying at the forefront of technology is now a key aspect of the company's strategy.
"We want to be the best and it's hard, if not impossible, to do that if you don't have the best equipment," said Torben. "We pride ourselves on being able to say that we're ahead of other shops in terms of our technology standards, and we're going to continue to hold ourselves to that and use it to drive future growth."

As of 12:15pm EST Friday Dec 29, 2017, shares of $GRCK aka Grey Cloak Tech Inc. were surging up 50.9% on nearly 16 million shares traded. The combination of a shareholders meeting to be held today at 1pm PST (market close) mixed with both their website launch and legalization of recreational marijuana in California has fueled a 3 day run of nearly 150% gains from its 0.0031 low on Wednesday.
1. An amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized common stock from 500,000,000 shares, par value $0.001, to 1,000,000,000 shares, par value $0.001.
The company is proposing this action in order to reorganize its capital structure to be more attractive to potential investors. This action is more fully described in the Proxy Statement accompanying this Notice. The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on November 8, 2017, as the record date for Shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at this meeting and any adjournments thereof.
Investors normally do not get excited about the Authorized share count increasing, but if it is in the best interest to position themselves "capital wise" to be successful then you have to be optimistic. Investors are also hoping to get a confirmation of "website launch" at the meeting.
The new company site at http://cbd.co looks ready to launch- Even with a count down clock at the top. (note: pic shows 90's across the board on the TIME (tablet) but on my laptop it shows the countdown to Jan 1, 2018.

Golden State tokers rejoice. The biggest legal recreational marijuana market in America is finally ready to open its doors.
It's been more than a year since California voted to legalize adult-use cannabis sales in the country's most populous state by passing Proposition 64, but actual legal recreational weed sales have been on hold while state lawmakers decided on the regulatory framework for the new legal market. While medical marijuana has been legal in California for two decades—accounting for roughly $2 billion in annual sales—state residents must wait until January 2018 before they are able to legally buy marijuana in California without a doctor's approval.
California will soon join states like Colorado, Oregon, and Nevada that have already expanded into adult-use marijuana markets (in total, seven states and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational marijuana). In some of those states, eager consumers celebrated the first day of legal recreational pot sales by lining up at their local dispensaries in order to be among the first to participate in the newly-legal marijuana economy.
When and where can you buy recreational marijuana in California?
California's new recreational marijuana laws will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2018, but that doesn't mean you'll be able to go straight from your New Year's Eve party to a local dispensary. First of all, state rules will dictate that cannabis not be sold until 6 a.m. or after 10 p.m. And, while the state's Bureau of Cannabis Control is issuing temporary licenses to dispensaries this month that will be effective starting Jan. 1, it remains to be seen exactly how many California dispensaries will eligible for those licenses from the get-go.
Some of the roughly 1,000 existing medical marijuana dispensaries statewide, which also must apply for new state licenses, are likely to be among the first to land new licenses for both medical and recreational cannabis sales. But, entrepreneurs hoping to land their own licenses will also have to make sure that they have the approval of their local county or municipality, and the Los Angeles Times notes that most of the cities in California have still not approved recreational marijuana sales. The San Diego Union-Tribune puts the number of California cities and counties that have banned either the sale or cultivation of cannabis at higher than 70%.
Buzz is circulating as popular twitter account with nearly 200,000 followers mentions and plugs CBD.co, will more stars follow suit? We shall see.
Disclosure: NO position or compensation.

Sun journalists to be trained in mental health reporting after complaint
PCC brokers deal between five mental health charities and the newspaper, after it published a 'flippant' Jeremy Clarkson column on rail suicides
Posted: 20 April 2012 By: Paul McNally

Journalists at the Sun are to be given training by the Samaritans on responsible reporting of mental health, following a complaint from five charities about a Jeremy Clarkson column on railway suicides.
The Press Complaints Commission negotiated the deal between the paper and the charities, who had complained to the PCC about the "flippant" tone and graphic imagery used in the Clarkson article.
The complaint was made under clause five of the editors' code, which relates to intrusion into grief or shock. The Sun accepted that parts of the column had overstepped the mark and apologised for the offence caused.
The matter was resolved after the paper agreed to training in reporting suicide sensitively, to be conducted by Samaritans.
It has also agreed to support the Time to Change campaign against mental health discrimination led by the charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness and to offer training to its staff on mental health reporting.
PCC head of complaints Charlotte Dewar said in a release: "This is a good example of how a complaint to the PCC can lead to a positive outcome for both parties.
"We are pleased to have assisted the charities in resolving this issue, and we hope this agreement will be the basis for constructive engagement between the Sun and all of the charities involved."

Home>Music> Tory Lanez Teases Imminent Mixtape Release: "International Fargo"
Ever since the beginning of 2019, Tory Lanez has made it clear that he's about to take over this year. We've heard him go toe-to-toe with Joyner Lucas, Don Q, and others recently. On top of that, it hasn't been too long since the arrival of Love Me Now. We've already got plenty of mixtape magic on the way in the coming months and Tory might be ready to start us off light by issuing a series of remixes of the hottest international songs in the world. The artist teased as much earlier today.
Tory is currently on tour with Drake in Europe and yesterday, he announced that he signed Melii to his One Umbrella imprint. Meek Mill wasn't too pleased about the Melii signing but Tory couldn't be happier, touting her as one of the strongest female vocalists out right now. As for his own music, Tory appears to be teasing the imminent arrival of a remix tape, telling fans to spam his comments section if they want him to drop International Fargo today. In the past, the Toronto artist has gone hard on Fargo Friday so it would make sense if a full tape popped up in the next few hours.
"I was on the couch wondering if I should make the most out of my EUROPE experience and DROP A FREE TAPE full of the REMIXES to the HOTTEST INTERNATIONAL SONGS RIGHT NOW," asked Tory. In addition to International Fargo, the rapper has teased his Latin album, Chixtape 5, a New Toronto tape, and more. Which one are you most excited about?
MUSIC Tory Lanez Teases Imminent Mixtape Release: "International Fargo"


The three pairs of fifths span three octaves and form a wider tuning than usual. The bass is deeper and the treble is higher. Chords tend to sound very "open" with large spacing between adjacent tones, and scales invariably require sliding up and down the fretboard. The stretches are just too long to comfortably play in a single position.
Barring a finger across all six strings sounds a chord that is neither major nor minor, and the three fifths tuning lends itself nicely to pieces that are tonally ambiguous.

Supermajority Calls on Joe Biden to Keep His Promise to Nominate First Black Woman to the Supreme Court
1 min read • January 26, 2022
Contact: supermajority@skdknick.com
Washington, D.C. – Today, Supermajority released the following statement after the retirement announcement of Justice Stephen C. Breyer, calling on President Joe Biden to fulfill his campaign promise of nominating the first Black woman to the Supreme Court:
"Justice Stephen G. Breyer was an unwavering defender of civil and reproductive rights and we thank him for his decades of service, upholding the rights of women and people of color throughout our country. Now, as President Biden looks to nominate Justice Breyer's replacement, we are excited to know that the president will fulfill his campaign promise and nominate a Black woman to finally take her seat on the highest court in the land.
Black women are, in large part, responsible for making this country fairer and more equal. They started and sustained the largest, most important movements for change in this country, and yet, for more than 230 years, their civil rights, reproductive rights, and human rights have been decided without even one Black woman on the Supreme Court.
Appointing a Black woman is about our country taking a giant step toward fairness, ensuring our government starts to accurately represent all of us at every level. There's a lot at stake in the next Supreme Court term that will impact the lives of women, including a case that seeks to strip our constitutional right to an abortion. All while women — especially Black women — face continual attacks on voting rights, challenge systemic racism and suffer disproportionately from the impact of this global pandemic. When it comes to fairness on the Court, there's no time to waste.
In his acceptance speech for the presidency, President Joe Biden thanked Black Americans for their outsized and unyielding support. 'You've always had my back,' he said. He's right. Black voters, and in particular Black women, secured President Biden's victory in key battleground states, and we are thrilled Black women now have a president who will ensure their fair representation in the Supreme Court of the United States."

Journalist threatened over report on corruption in Nepal
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) joins the Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) and the Nepal Press Union (NPU) in condemning the threat by the managing director of a state-owned corporation to a journalist reporting on corruption on August 4 in capital Kathmandu. The IFJ demands action against the official who threatened the journalist.
Gopal Khadka, the Managing Director of the Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC), threatened journalist Dilip Paudel of Nagarik daily in the premises of the Ministry of Supplies, where Paudel was on a reporting assignment. Khadka told Paudel: "You have a family, be careful."
Paudel had first reported misappropriation of funds by Khadka while buying land for NOC. The Parliamentary Public Audit Committee had ordered an inquiry into the matter, concluding the proper procedures were not followed while buying the land.
NPU General Secretary Ajaya Babu Shiwakoti, in a statement said: "The journalist who was been reporting on corruption in the NOC was threatened to silence him. That the threat was issued in the state's main administrative compound indicates rising lawlessness and impunity in the country. The NPU demands immediate suspension of Khadka from his post and action for threatening the journalist."
FNJ Secretary Prabhat Chalaune, in a statement said: "Threatening a journalist is a condemnable act of a government official. The FNJ condemns Khadka's act as it violates press freedom."
The IFJ said: "The IFJ condemns the threat to journalist Dilip Paudel by Nepal Oil Corporation Managing Director Gopal Khadka over news about corruption, which was already established. Such threats not only undermine press freedom and democracy but also have a chilling effect on the critical voice of the media. The IFJ demands that the Nepal government take immediate action against the official in the interests of strengthening press freedom."

SPFBO7: SEMIFINALIST #1
HEY HEY HEY!!!!
I'm super excited to announce our first semifinalist. For those of you who don't know, we will be choosing a maximum of six semifinalists, which will of course become five plus our finalist in Phase 2. Kristen and I will ideally choose three semi-finalists each, exchange them, rate them, and the book with the highest rating will move on. In the event of a tie, we will cry and try to figure it out.
There is also an off-chance that Kristen may not find three books she wants to put forward. In that case, I will dive back into my pile and choose up to an additional three semifinalists depending on Kristen's picks. Thankfully, my own batch was strong enough to field six semifinalists on its own.
There are lots of things that I consider when putting forward a book both as a semi-finalist and a finalist. Ideally, there's going to be six very different and equally intriguing books put forward by the two of us, but tastes can be tricky and there's a chance one of us will bounce off a semi-finalist, or absolutely adore it and score it even higher than the initial judge. The scores heading into the semifinalist round can change around drastically, or remain almost unchanged. It's too early to say which one of my three semifinalists will have the best chance against whatever Kristen may find in her allotment.
The book I'm putting forward today is very different from anything else I've read in a long time. The world-building is completely bonkers and it's amazing. The main character is a fox, and that's not unusual. The world he lives in is much like Bojack Horseman, in that society is run by a wide variety of animals and they live much the way we do. The main character has been accused of being a Flesh Eater — someone who's eaten meat. He has to find a way to clear his name or be forced to work and live in the shadows, always looking over his shoulder. There are giant spiderback races, excellent prose, relatable character, fast-paced adventure — there's a lot to enjoy in this book.
I'm picking Flesh Eater by Travis Riddle as my first semi-finalist.
CONGRATS!!! I hope anyone who finds this intriguing picks it up!!
The next semi-finalist announcement will be Tuesday the 13th 😀

* Tutorial fixes for when the page is refreshed and the JWT is expired
* Added handling for the case when JWT is expired, page is refreshed and a RefreshToken is used to refresh the page.

## 3.0.2
* Minor fixes

## 3.0.1
* Minor fixes

## 3.0.0
* Magic is removed. `auth0-angular` is now much smaller and with less magic
* We recommend the usage of `angular-storage` and `angular-jwt` for storing information and token handling
* All samples were redone.
* New tutorials are made to teach people how to use the new dependencies
* We've migrated to Auth0 Lock

# 2.2.X

## 2.2.8
* Fixed bug when using auth0js library

## 2.2.7
* Added `authenticated` event for after refresh

## 2.2.6
* BugFix with `sso: true`

## 2.2.5
* Added `tokenPayload` to `auth`

## 2.2.3
* Fixed bug with email not recognized as possible parameter to do /ro

## 2.2.2
* Small BugFix for Refresh Token

## 2.2.0
* Default storage service is now `localStorage`. It can fallback to `ngCookies`. More info [here](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-angular/blob/master/docs/custom-storage.md)

# 2.1.X

## 2.1.0
* Added Refresh Token behaviour mostly for usage in Mobile apps. More info [here](https://github.com/auth0/auth0-angular/blob/master/docs/refreshToken.md)

# 2.0.X

## 2.0.7
* Fixed error when no callback was added
* Added `changePassowrd` behaviour for `reset` call if auth0.js is injected

## 2.0.4
* Fixed error when signin was failling with auth0.js and still saving undefined cookies.

## 2.0.3

* Added new delegation methods according to new `auth0.js` release.

## 2.0.2
* Fixed bug with redirect mode and callbacks
* Added `auth.profilePromise` field for using promises.

## 2.0.1
* Fixed bug with Username-Password not working when using minified auth0-angular.js

## 2.0.0

* We've removed promised for `signin`, `signup` and `reset`. Promises can only be fullfilled once. Therefore, if a person would open the signin widget and put the wrong password 3 times and then put it ok, the promise was never notified of the success. That's why we changed only for these 3 to callbacks. This is a breaking change and that's why we're releasing 2.0.0.

# 1.1.x

## 1.1.5
* Updated documentation to add custom storage
* When forbiden, deleting stored values

## 1.1.3
* Implemented token expired functionality. Fixes #54
* Updated all documentation

## 1.1.2
* Added `signup` and `reset` functions to trigger the widget in those modes

## 1.1.1
* Added `hookEvents` method in `auth` to hook all events once the app is started.
* Calling `logout` event once signout is done

## 1.1.0
  * Better popup handling (powered by Winchan).
  * Phonegap support.
  * updated examples: Auth0.js to 3.1 and Widget to 5.0.

## 1.0.1
  * Added `sso` configuration to the `authProvider` to use `SSO`.

# 1.0.x

## 1.0.0
  * We've refactored the code to improve code quality
  * We've improved `redirect` feature of the SDK. Now, the `redirect` feature parses the hash with the `accessToken` as part of Angular's URL changing process
  * We've added `requiresLogin` paramter to routes to specify if a route is protected or not. If a user tries to get to a protected route, he'll be redirected to the login page
  * We've added the `refreshToken` method to easily refresh the JWT token that we have
  * We've added a better way to subscribe to events like `loginSuccess`  and `loginFailure`. This events now receive all the properties from authentication and you can inject any AngularJS service in there to use.
  * We've extracted the token saving module to `auth0.storage` module so that if you want to implement your own storage instead of using `ngCookies`  you easily can if you use `authStorage` interface.
  * Now you just need to add one `auth0` module to your project and it'll work for either `redirect`, `poppup` and it includes the `$httpInterceptor`  that sends the JWT.
  * All the examples and documentation have been updated for this new interface
  * Lots of other small bug and fixes

# 0.4.x

## 0.4.7
  * Added `state` to `auth` when getting values from hash or cookies.

## 0.4.5

  * Now on `logout` we are disposing properly `profile` and `delegatedTokens`.

## 0.4.4

  * Fixes issues with Auth0 and Auth0Widget minified versions: When on 0.4.3 it was made compatible with RequireJS a check to `constructor.name` was used to make sure the name of the constructor instance. When tested against the minified versions that value was the name of the minified constructor name (so it always executed the code for the widget which receives callback as third parameter). Now this check is performed by asserting getClient method to be present (part of Auth0 Widget but not Auth0.js).

## 0.4.3

  * Fixes Auth0Widget check to be compatible with requireJS.

## 0.4.2

  * Adding `main` attribute to `package.json`

## 0.4.1

  * Fixing `isAuthenticated` bug: when `idToken` expired `isAuthenticated` still was set to true.

## 0.4.0

  * Adding support for Auth0 Widget with popup mode (only social).

# 0.3.x

## 0.3.3

  * Fixed bug on `authInterceptor`: when `$http` request failed it executed `success` instead of `error` callback.

## 0.3.2

  * Adding event AUTH_EVENTS.loginFailed to replace AUTH_EVENTS.loginFailure. From this version, usage of AUTH_EVENTS.loginFailed is deprecated.

## 0.3.1

  * Fixed redirect mode: fixing exception when reloading a page after authentication.

## 0.3.0

  * The default way of showing social connections is by using popup. If you want to use redirect mode, you may want to check the new redirect example.
  * Renamed module `auth0-auth` to be `auth0`. Old `auth0` module is called now `auth0-redirect`.
  * The `auth.loaded` promise, which allows the user to tell whether or not the page has loaded, was added
  * `AUTH_EVENTS.redirectEnded` now is fired always (even after `AUTH_EVENTS.loginSuccess` and `AUTH_EVENTS.loginFailed`).
  * Now `auth.signin` method returns a promise:
    ```js
      auth.signin({connection: 'my-connection'}).then(function () {
        // When user is authenticated
      }, function () {
        // On invalid credentials
      });
    ```
  * Replaced $safeApply with $timeout.

# 0.2.x

## 0.2.0

 * There is only one instance of `auth.profile`. When doing `getProfile` the promise returns `auth.profile` not a new instance.
 * `auth.profile` by default starts as an empty object that will be later populated when the `getProfile` promise is resolved.
 * `authProvider.init` was changed to `authProvider.init(options, [Auth0Constructor]). `Auth0Constructor` is a constructor (function that can be `new`ed) that could be either Auth0 (found in auth0.js) or Auth0Widget (found in auth0-widget). RequireJS users now are able to parametrize the constructor to be used.

# 0.1.x

## 0.1.2

 * Version 1.2.16 of Angular changed the behavior of how `$cookies` handles `$cookies.hello = undefined`. In the past, it erased `hello` but now serializes `undefined` as `"undefined"`. Replacing `$cookies` with `$cookieStore` (which handle serialization) to avoid further problems.
 * Adding error handling when cookie parsing fails so it does not break the library.
 * Updating Angular version to 1.2.16.

## 0.1.1

 * Profile is no longer saved in cookies as, in some cases, it was bigger than the maximum allowed size. Current policy is to store it in memory and each time page reloads fetch it again.
 * Fixed: when login fails the proper error object is sent in the `AUTH_EVENTS.loginFailed` event.
 * Fixing bug that made `getToken` method fail: As `getToken` is not exposed by the widget it should be accessed using the `getClient` method that returns the auth0.js wrapped instance.

## 0.1.0

 * Added `AUTH_EVENTS.redirectEnded` event that is emitted when the callback URL is parsed but it does not contain neither `access_token` nor `error`. On that way, it can be determined whether the redirect ended to execute an action. For example, this is useful with the `AUTH_EVENTS.loginSuccess` and `AUTH_EVENTS.loginFailed` to show a loading page while being redirected.

# 0.0.x

## 0.0.2

 * Removed promises from `signin` method. Now the way to handle login is by listening to `AUTH_EVENTS.loginSuccess`:

   ```js
       $rootScope.$on(AUTH_EVENTS.loginSuccess, function () {
        // TODO Handle when login succeeds
        $location.path('/');
       });
   ```
 * Removed `ngRoute` and `route` from auth0-angular.
 * Created a dictionary with the authentication events:

    ```js
      myApp.run(function ($rootScope, AUTH_EVENTS) {
        $rootScope.$on(AUTH_EVENTS.loginSuccess, function () {
          // TODO Handle login success here!
        });
      });
    ```
 * `authInterceptor` must to be added explicitely on the user code. The idea behind this is to prevent leaking the token in CORS requests.

GALLERY TARGET present Crying Dog, Russell Maurice's first solo show in a Japanese Gallery.
The title refers to a surreal phenomenon of 'crying dog figurines' that emerged in the 1970s and 80s and which exists in many variations. Attempts to solve the mystery of its origin or meaning have been impossible. Maurice has merged this mysterious archetype with his own complex array of stylistic and thematic influences.
Working on a wide mix of formats, sculpture, painting, animation cel's, holographic elements and light-boxes, each of these will be used to convey Maurice's universe, his alchemic, cosmic-comic approach, his own version of Comic Abstraction.
The exhibition will also celebrate the launch of a ceramic edition Crying Dog sculpture produced with Medicom.

When I arrive in Pamplona it is at the height of what seems to be a Rio carnival-style street party, although, strikingly, everyone is in the same uniform – white shirt, white trousers, red neckerchief and red sash. These bull-running festivals used to be far more common, and there are still a fair few in Spain. They also happen across the border in France, in towns like Dax and Bayonne. They even happened in England until the mid-nineteenth century. The most famous one was in Stamford, Lincolnshire until it was banned in 1839 by the RSPCA.
Of all bull-runs in the world, though, Pamplona is the most famous, and for one reason alone, the writings of Ernest 'Papa' Hemingway. This even though it is generally accepted that he never actually ran. By generally accepted I mean by everyone except Hemingway himself. While researching this I came across a front-page story in the Toronto Daily Star in 1924, with the wonderfully self-referential headline 'Bull Gores Toronto Writer in Annual Pamplona Festival'.
First of all I walk out the ground of the run. It is a half-mile of streets with three corners, all of which are now packed with drunken revellers. I ignore them, trying to see how I am going to deal with the next morning, looking at the height of the bars on the windows and the height of the heavy wooden barriers, like a climber looking for a route of ascent or a burglar looking for a point of entry. I see some likely spots, but I have no idea as yet how the crowds will be in the morning.
I get to bed at about half past twelve – the run is at 8 a.m. – but I do not fall sleep until three in the morning.
Three hours later I wake up just before my alarm. I shower and slowly dress in a carefully selected version of the traditional dress for the day. A white cotton shirt and white denim trouser – nothing that inhibits movement, but tight enough not to be caught on a horn unless I am, and thick enough that protection against minor slashes is given. I tie the red bandana around my neck, mimicking the blood of the martyred Saint Fermín, in whose honour this festival is, and tie the red sash around my waist, wrapping it twice so there is no slack to catch.
At the entrance to the Town Hall square section of the run there are hundreds upon hundreds of people milling, moving, edging from foot to foot and emitting a combined stench of urine, alcohol and vomit that is nearly overwhelming. The one thing they do not stink of is fear. Fear itself has no smell, despite what the novelists say.
I find my spot in the street with an hour to go and overhear an Australian man say to his sylph-like girlfriend, 'I'll look after you.' The astonishing naïvety of the remark annoys me. What is he going to do? Pick her up and throw her over the people stacked four deep and the six-foot fence behind them? While running? Because anything else he tries with a 1,400lb Miura running at thirty miles an hour won't nudge it even one degree off course. If he wants to save his seven-stone girlfriend, who won't stand a chance of dictating her own trajectory among panicked twelve-stone men, he should get her out now, and if he's stupid enough to talk like that he should probably follow suit himself.
I decide to get away from them, ducking under the fence and heading away from the course to a small church where I had been told me the hardened runners gather – some Spanish, some Americans who have been doing it for as many as thirty years. In this little enclave of calm, I watch the men greet each other briefly with cordial handshakes and short sentences, confident and focused, not indulging in nervous small-talk, each parting with the word 'suerte', 'good luck'. Their confidence is contagious.
I run a little and stretch like I used to fifteen years ago in my school athletics team and begin slaloming between traffic bollards at a half-sprint. By half past I'm dripping with sweat and adrenaline and as ready as I will ever be. Am I nervous? No. Not now. It is beyond the time for that. There had been moments during the sleepless night before when I thought, given that no one knows me here, I could say I had done it without doing it at all. Or I could not do it and no one would judge. At least not in any way I would care about. But in that odd way the mind has, having committed to a course of action, I will go through unless I can find a justifiable way out. And for this one I can't. It's Pamplona after all. I walk down the hill and take my place and wait.
As the time approaches, the streets thicken with people, then seem to clear. I later discover that this is an artificial density, as the final section of the run is closed until ten minutes to eight. I find myself alone in a section of street that has a crowd on steps behind the barrier watching like an audience. I find it very odd to be walking on what feels like a stage at a time like this. With five minutes to go that feeling fades. That is when the false breaks begin: all of a sudden a group of people will get the jitters and run up the hill, convincing other people – ones with untrustworthy watches or untrusting minds – that the bulls have been released early. I have no idea if they leave the course or decide to stay further up, but they don't return to my space, my little island.
The minutes pass slowly. Incredibly slowly. I can safely say that no period of time in my life has ever passed that slowly. This is firing-squad stuff. The background noise and movement of the runners escalates, so that when the clock tower bells chime the hour I do not hear them. However, I know my watch is good so I am not exactly surprised when a rocket explodes in the air. I am certainly fully awake though.
Then come the joggers, people laughing off their fear and embarrassment, but having made the very clear decision that they want to be further away from whatever is about to happen. When the second rocket goes off a few seconds later, they accelerate and I have to turn sideways to let the rush past. Then I bend my knees a little and lean my shoulder downhill, forcing people to part round me because this is becoming a stampede. And then the bulls turn the corner at the bottom of the hill and the thin blue line of police holding the people and the bulls apart breaks off to the sides and the mass of people shatters and flees like a medieval rabble under a heavy cavalry charge.
Of the many things I have seen researching this book, again and again the phrase 'never seen before' springs to my typing fingers, but this really was a sight that very few people in the modern era will see: a populace put to flight through its own streets, as though a siege has been broken, a city wall breached. As the bulls cleared their path up the hill and I attempted to hold my ground, people were running past screaming, grabbing at me, diving against the wall, which was now thick with people trying to make sure they were not the front line. As the bulls got closer – it seemed like ten feet away, but I would calculate from the images I have seen it was twenty – a clearer space in front of them enveloped me and I turned and started to run.
When I was in the athletics team at school, I had it drilled into me that you can think you are sprinting flat out, but then you look inside yourself and find an extra reserve of speed. However, this was not one of those times. I had enough adrenaline in me that I don't doubt for a second that I have never run faster and that if I hadn't warmed up I would have done a lot more than ended up with a strained Achilles tendon and aching hamstrings.
As he neared me, and the mass of people in the square began to push me and themselves towards his horns, I decided enough was enough and pushed myself back into the crowd on the side. The Miuras had passed, but I was not finished.
I jumped back into the middle of the street and went back to sprinting in an attempt to follow them, out of the town square, along calle Mercaderes and into one of the most dangerous parts of the course, the corner of calle Estafeta. As I reached it I was confronted with the sight of a fallen grey and white Miura, a suelto, a 'loose one'. He was getting back on to his feet, facing in the opposite direction to the now vanished herd, facing me.
At his most dangerous – fresh, massively strong, and with no idea where he was or what to do – he was swinging his great horns back and forth looking for prey and I slammed on the brakes on the cobbled street, thanking God for the grip on my Nike trainers, and went into speedy reverse. Soon there were people between the bull and me and I knew I was safe. Then he moved in the right direction and a gate was closed behind him to keep the crowd on my part of the course safe. As I walked over to the railings to catch my breath a man was pulled out by paramedics from behind the barrier, blood pumping from his neck. (A little later someone pointed out a large bloodstain on my shirt and I can only assume it sprayed out from him.) The wound was evidently bad, but he was holding the bandages to his own throat despite being on a stretcher, so I assumed he was relatively OK. According to the newspapers, after a four-day spell in intensive care he was.
I walked back to the hotel and called my parents and girlfriend to say I was alive, before heading to a bar where I was told the American runners all met up to confirm the number left standing. It had been a bloody day: two in intensive care, two other serious gorings, a dozen minor injuries from human or bovine feet. As I introduced myself to the men I had seen so calmly warming up before, I discovered that not one of them had been injured, despite having seen them leap in closer to the bulls than anyone else. This may in part be explained by how long they have been running for. One of them, a former English lecturer from New York [Among many other things, Ed.], called Joe Distler, has been running since 1967 and has been the subject of numerous documentaries since. As another of them, a man known as Beef, said to me when I said I didn't know anyone there.
We drank from 8.30 a.m. until I fell on to my bed at 4 p.m.
Then, when they cut out the intervening people and reached me, I put on a burst of speed to match that of a bull running at my shoulder, and I did, I achieved templar. In bullfighting, the term means to match the speed of the bull's charge with the cape, and some say it even means to moderate the charge by doing so. In bull running, it means to match not only your speed but the rhythm of your run to an animal's.
It was a strangely moving experience running side-by-side with a bull, close enough to touch, although I had been warned that that was frowned upon. His head heaved up and down from the ground as great muscles contracted and relaxed to shift vast weight at a speed equal to my sprint, even though he had already sprinted almost half a mile uphill. He was pure brown in colour and apparently totally ignorant of my existence at his flank, his whole being determined only to keep with his herd and get clear of this mass of humanity. The kinship I felt with him was purely physical, locomotory, experience, but it was still more than superficial.
Later that evening I watched the one and only bullfight I will ever see in Pamplona. The party atmosphere from the streets was magnified in the ring. Not one, but six bands were in operation, each one from a different fan club celebrating. The fans themselves danced and shouted and swore and drank, half the time with their backs to the sand. The matadors valiantly tried to get their attention by fighting, but the bulls were so distracted by the noise – and being run through the streets that morning – that they were almost impossible to make charge. It was an ugly, barbaric thing. And then the bull I had run beside came in, and although he was fought well, he refused to die, despite the sword being within him. As the crowd cheered and booed, swayed and screamed, he walked over to the planks and began a long slow march around the ring, holding on to life as though with some internal clenched fist, refusing to give up, refusing to die. I had run next to this great animal, had matched myself to him as best I could, and in doing so felt some form of connection to the powers that propelled him. Now I watched them all turned inwards in an attempt to defy the tiny, rigid ribbon of steel within his chest, and having been blinded by no beauty, tricked by no displays of courage or prowess by the matadors, I just saw an animal trying to stay on its feet against the insuperable reality of death. I left the plaza de toros with tears in my eyes after that.

South Central's Baker advances to state

A fast course made for a fast day at the Brown County cross-country semi-state Saturday morning with personal bests falling all over the place as more than 40 teams and other individual racers tried to make their way into Saturday's state finals in Terre Haute. By the end of the day, both the Floyd Central Highlanders and Superchicks punched their tickets for an extra day as did South Central's Maddox Baker.
The boys' race got off to a fast start, and it was obvious from the beginning there were going to be fast times recorded. Floyd Central was in good position from the beginning with Will Conway and South Central's Maddox Baker running in the top 10 through the first 1,000 meters, while Forest Park's Spenser Wolf took the point.
"I didn't expect everybody to go with the leaders at the start," said Baker. "Everybody did, so I was, 'I might as well try to stay with them.' It was fast."
"I was just telling myself 'I've got to be tough. I've got to run smart. I know I belong with the top guys'," Conway said. "I went up with the leaders and I wasn't smart but, when I knew I went out too hard, I didn't give up. I stayed checked in, and I think that made a good race for me."
At the 1,000-meter mark, Wolf was still up front with Conway in third. Floyd Central's Weston Naville was just outside the top 25 but still in sight of the lead group.
"I wasn't up front as I normally am," Naville said. "I could have been up farther, but I sat back a little in the first mile and a half then moved up so it worked out for me. But it was pretty fast all around the race. It was a good course today with a lot of good performances."
At just over halfway, Columbus North's Reese Kilbarger-Stumpft went to the front with Wolf still in second and Jasper's Abram Eckman third. Conway and Baker still kept themselves in the top 10 as the runners set their minds toward the finish.
At the finish, Stumpft won by a 10-second margin over Wolf, finishing the 5k in a time of 15 minutes, 10.5 seconds, and Eckman stayed in the third position to the end. Conway raced his way against Northview's Nerius White to a seventh-place finish in 15:39.9, and Baker battled Terre Haute South's Matt Gambill to crack the top 10 in 10th in a time of 15:44.9. Naville moved up to 11th in 15:45.5.
"He's a good racer," Conway said of White. "We were stride for stride, and we were coming fast. I'm a lot more happy with today. This was a whole lot more competition today."
"Coming through here on the second lap we crossed those (timing) mats and I was like, 'Dang, this last half is going to be rough'," Baker said. "I wasn't feeling that great, and then I took a couple of deep breaths and powered through the rest of this straight stretch. Once I hit that corner, I opened up a little bit more and then the Central kid caught me. The Central kid and Columbus North made a move a little bit and took off and I just couldn't hold with them."
Baker said the last hundred meters was wild with the crowd screaming and runners trying to get by on both sides.
"I wasn't sure what was going to happen because I had two or three people pass me down this hill with maybe 400 left," he said. "I tried to go with them a little bit, but I killed myself the first two miles. I couldn't hold them, but I knew there was a little bit of a gap between us so I got on this last straight stretch and tried to hold it with the people that just passed me. I kept on checking behind me. I wasn't going on full-on sprint until the last 15 meters, and I looked back and the Terre Haute South kid and Weston from Floyd both were right on me. I tried to hold it but (the South kid) passed me."
Naville said there was only one plan for the day.
"Not go home and go to state," Naville said. "That was priority No. 1. Other than that, we were just trying to put together everything we've been working on, not fall apart and work the last mile. … "
The Floyd Central Highlanders finished third as team with 151 points. Behind Conway and Naville, Mitchel Meier was 25th (16:04.6), Adam Heitz 60th (16:48.8), Noah Nifong 71st (16:58.5), Nathan Wheatley 89th (17:09.2) and Luca Cirincione 90th (17:09.2).
Austin also had a huge day, grabbing the last state finals berth.
Corydon Central's Addison Applegate, left, and Erika Valdiveiso compete their last race of the season at the Brown County semi-state, finishing 40th and 41st, respectively, outside of the state finals cutoff.
The big thing for the Floyd Central Superchicks team was the return of senior Jaydon Cirincione, who had missed the last three races due to a pulled hamstring. Boonville's Emma Gresham went to the front at the start but didn't stay there very long as Columbus North's Julie Kiesler went up front by the first kilometer mark with Jasper's Andi VanMeter second.
Cirincione held back slightly at the start while the pack sorted themselves out but then moved up to ninth with teammates Kaitlyn Stewart and Savanna Liddle several places behind. Corydon Central's Addison Applegate and Erika Valdivieso fell out of the top 25 but continued to fight to stay with the lead pack.
At just over halfway, Kiesler was dominating the race with Forest Park's Ellie Hall making a contention for the top five, running third and Cirincione fourth. At the line, Kiesler won easily in a time of 17 minutes, 41.7 seconds. Hall moved up to second down the stretch to finish in 18:08.9, and Columbus North's Brianna Newell was third in 18:16.2. Cirincione went on to claim fourth in 18:22.8.
Cirincione is hoping for a much better finish at this year's state meet. Last year, she fell just short of the finish line and was passed by four runners but still was able to grab the final All-State spot at 25th.
Floyd Central's Stewart was eighth in 18:32.3, and Liddle finished 15th in 18:52.4. Elliott Emerson was 32nd (19:14.3), Hallie Mosier 54th (20:07.0), Meredith Bielefeld 64th (20:19.4) and Alice Main 76th (20:25.2) to pace the Superchicks to a second-place finish in the team standings.
"There's so many people that you have to go fast so that you don't get boxed in," Stewart said. "It's not a mental race; it's an actual race. At this course, everyone tends to go out really fast because it narrows pretty quickly. You kind of have to be patient and work your way up gradually. The last 'k,' I was just going for it and I just pushed myself. I ended up getting close to my PR, so I was happy with it."
Floyd Central girls' coach Carl Hook said the rest was a big help for Cirincione.
He said this week's state finals race will be about each runner running their own race.
"It gets out crazy and fast," Hook said. "Some of us will be farther back in the pack than we have been. We really have to stick through our race and our game plan and not get caught up. You almost have to have blinders on at state. If you do that, you'll come back. … ."
The Corydon Central girls' team finished 10th with 306 points, falling short of a state final slot. Applegate was nine places short of the 31st-place cutoff, finishing 40th (19:35.5), and Valdivieso was 41st in 19:36.1.
"I went out really fast, and I had to get a good start," said Applegate. "I'm just happy about my time because I got in 19s. I haven't done that hardly all season, so I'm excited about that. I'm proud. I wish, placement-wise, a little farther up there, but I'm happy about my time. That's all really that matters."

Vermilion Energy Inc. Acquires Common Shares of Coelacanth Energy Inc.
October 04 2022 - 08:00AM
PR Newswire (Canada)
CALGARY, AB, Oct. 4, 2022 /CNW/ - Vermilion Energy Inc. ("Vermilion") (TSX: VET) (NYSE: VET) announces that it has filed an early warning report (the "Early Warning Report") in respect of its holdings in Coelacanth Energy Inc. ("Coelacanth").
Vermilion has acquired ownership of, or control and direction over, additional common shares ("Common Shares") of Coelacanth in an amount equal to more than 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, thereby triggering the requirement to file an early warning report, as a result of the following transactions (collectively, the "Transactions"):
from June 20, 2022 to October 3, 2022, Vermilion acquired an aggregate of 7,057,322 Common Shares through its automatic share purchase plan ("ASPP") through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange at prices ranging from $0.54 to $0.85 per Common Share for an aggregate purchase price of $4.8 million; and
on June 2, 2022, Vermilion acquired 1,444,804 Common Shares through the exercise of 1,444,804 Common Share purchase warrants ("Warrants") of Coelacanth at a price of $0.27 per Common Share for an aggregate exercise price of approximately $0.4 million.
Prior to the Transactions, Vermilion had ownership of, or control and direction over, an aggregate of 60,840,468 Common Shares, representing approximately 17.7% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (and 62,285,272 Common Shares, assuming exercise of the Warrants, representing approximately 18.0% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis). Following the exercise of all Coelacanth share purchase warrants and the Transactions, Vermilion now has ownership of, or control and direction over, an aggregate of 69,342,595 Common Shares, representing approximately 16.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.
The Common Shares were acquired for investment purposes.

Afterlife: The Evolution of a Song
Afterlife is the first song in my free series called "Songs In Progress". As an added bonus, I am sharing all of the recorded versions of this song, from the the initial ideas to the latest mix.
This is where comparisons to sausage-making are most fitting. The early stages of song development can be a little rough and embarrassing, but nonetheless, here is everything, warts and all.
I have added some commentary on each recording so you get an idea of how they came about and how they fit into the evolution of the song.
Let me know what you find interesting here, and I will try to offer further insight on future installments.
