Who is the greatest basketball player of all time?
That distinction belongs to hall of fame forward, Hank Luisetti, the first person to sore 50 points in a game, the innovator of the running one-handed shot, and the one responsible for paving the road to the NCAA March Madness competition and the formation of the NBA. Nobody—not even Jordan can claim that.
It's time the world learned the story of basketball's great pioneer; the man who fought the establishment and changed basketball's genetic footprint with his unorthodox playing style. James Naismith invented basketball in 1891; Hank Luisetti reinvented it in 1936.
Hank Luisetti, a graduate of Stanford University, grew up in the same San Francisco neighborhood as his contemporary Joe DiMaggio—the two actually knew each other and went to the same elementary school. DiMaggio had the luxury of legends like Babe Ruth, and Ty Cobb cementing the foundation of the MLB, but Luisetti played in an era where there was no NBA. It was he who provided a taste of what basketball could become.
In the days before the NBA, basketball was a filler sport between baseball and football seasons. Passing and shooting with two hands was at the center of basketball's stop-set-shoot philosophy, until Hank Luisetti defied the establishment during a time when final scores of basketball games rarely totaled forty points. It was said that shooting with one hand was radical, and a shot predicted on a prayer wasn't real basketball. After Luisetti's heroics were displayed in a game at Madison Square Garden between Stanford and LIU, basketball, as we know it, was born.
The Stanford/LIU game would both test Luisetti's unorthodox style and determine the unofficial national champion. Hank shocked the sports world, and the New York media machine knew they were witnessing history. People began to emulate the great Luisetti, and basketball became an exciting sport—building a fan base of its own.
After barely surviving spiral meningitis while serving during WWII, Luisetti turned down lucrative offers to play in the NBA when it formed in 1949. Hank Luisetti, the man who reinvented basketball and even starred as himself in a major motion picture opposite Betty Grable in 1938, faded into obscurity, but not for long. Madness portrays the challenges of hall of famer Hank Luisetti to bust past the barriers of haughty basketball purists, as well as his own demons, and usher in basketball's modern era.
Click here to learn more about Mike DeLucia's new book, Madness — which is due out early next month — and get the full story on the best basketball player who ever lived.
Author Mike DeLucia grew up in the Bronx and spent his childhood playing baseball, softball, and all of the street games associated with city living in the '60s. He began his career as an actor and entrepreneur but wound up teaching high school English in his forties and authoring books in his fifties. Besides the story of Hank Luisetti—Madness, Mike published Boycott The Yankees: A Call to Action by a Lifelong Yankees Fan, about how the rising costs of stadium seating is destroying the family-friendly atmosphere of the Great Ballpark in the Bronx, and Settling A Score, a short story that invites readers to the Bronx during the 1960s and into the home of the DeFrancos where two estranged brothers are forced to play on the same little league team. In the process they learn about life, each other, and the enduring challenges of being brothers.

Increasing number of people these days tend to be interested in travelling. It is refered to the fact that we have such conditions to travel our parents found it demanding to even imagine that would ever be able. Above all, we are likely to choose from wide variety of means of transport.
One of the most popular nowadays that becomes a standard in topic of tourism in greater distances is travelling with an airplane. Even though in the past it used to be thought to be something rather chosen by rich people, currently almost everyone is able to afford the cheapest tickets provided by such carriers like Ryanair or WizzAir. Plenty people in such case cannot understand how is that possible that flying with an airplane is considerably cheaper than travelling with a car, being also much faster than the second method.
Nonetheless, in such case we should rather keep in mind that this is an element of very smart marketing strategy created by these corporations. It is connected with the fact that owing to cheaper tickets (https://www.lot.com/airline-tickets/flights-to-minsk) significant percentage of customers finally decide to check airplanes. Mostly they are so convinced to this source of transport that later they prefer to spend more money on normal tickets.
Another important option in terms of tourism for people, who would like to organize everything on their own is referred to various bus lines, for example to Central Asia tours – It is indicated by the fact that more and more corporations tend to guarantee high-class services in this area in miscellaneous countries. They in most cases begin with a pretty similar strategy to one presented in terms of airplane carriers – they start with cheap tickets and later after obtaining quite high market share they tend to impose their conditions on end-users.
In the light of the points mentioned above, there is wide range of various solutions such as hitchhiking, Couchsurfing etc. that are likely to awake our interest in the topic of tourism. This proves that everyone, no matter what expectations and preferences we have in the previously analyzed field, might certainly find something that would awake our interest.

Erich Lossie (* 11. Juni 1886 in Lübbecke; † 2. November 1944 in Bielefeld) war ein deutscher Bildhauer.

Erich Lossie kam nach dem Tod seines Vaters Adolf Lossie als Sechsjähriger nach Bielefeld. Dort schloss er 1904 eine Lehre als Bildhauer und Stuckateur ab. Nach einem Besuch der Kunstgewerbeschule Hannover arbeitete er für einige Zeit in Bielefeld. An der Fachschule der Malerinnung, wo er die Abendkurse bei Ludwig Godewols belegte, lernte er Peter August Böckstiegel kennen.

1908 setzte Lossie seine künstlerische Ausbildung fort, zunächst bis 1911 an der Kunstgewerbeschule Hamburg, danach bis 1914 als Schüler des Bildhauers Hans Perathoner an der Handwerker- und Kunstgewerbeschule Bielefeld. Dort war er aktiv beim Aufbau des Gips-Modells des Leineweberdenkmal beteiligt. Als das Modell halbtrocken bewegt wurde, brach es zusammen, begrubt Lossie unter sich und verletzte ihn so schwer, dass er zeitlebens körperlich beeinträchtigt blieb. 1915 wurde Lossie zum Kriegsdienst eingezogen, wegen seines Fußleidens jedoch wieder entlassen. Er arbeitete einige Zeit in Berliner Bildhauer-Werkstätten, bevor er 1917 sein eigenes Atelier in Bielefeld eröffnete. Ende 1919 gründete er dort zusammen mit Hermann Freudenau (1883–1966), Heinz Leverenz (1890–1939) und Herbert Behrens-Hangeler (1898–1981) die Künstlergemeinschaft "Der Wurf". Aktiv war er seit 1909 auch in der Künstlergruppe "Rote Erde", zusammen mit Böckstiegel, Leverenz, Victor Tuxhorn (1892–1964) und Ernst Sagewka (1883–1959).

In Bielefeld wurde er für seine schlanken und in gelängten Proportionen dargestellten Menschenfiguren mit glatten Oberflächen bekannt. Neben solchen Skulpturen gestaltete er Grabmale, Brunnen und Gedenksteine. Im öffentlichen Raum ist u. a. eine Ehrentafel für gefallene Soldaten des Ersten Weltkrieges im Helmholtz-Gymnasium erhalten geblieben. Daneben haben sich Porträtbüsten und freie Arbeiten erhalten.

1934 besuchte Lossie seinen Freund Peter August Böckstiegel in dessen Domizil in Arrode. Böckstiegel schrieb über den körperlichen Zustand Lossies in einem Brief: "Trotz seiner 48 Jahre ein Greis von 60 Jahren. So soll er mal ein paar Tage hier arbeiten, damit neuer Mut einzieht." So entstand eine Plastik Lossies von der Nichte Böckstiegels, Elsbeth Rossi.

Nach dem Tod seiner Mutter, in deren Haushalt er gelebt hatte, fand Lossie 1938 Aufnahme im Lutherstift Bielefeld. Dort verlor er bei dem Bombenangriff am 30. September 1944 all seinen persönlichen Besitz, darunter viele seiner Skulpturen und Fotografien sowie die Werkverzeichnisse. Lossie starb wenige Wochen später im Alter von 58 Jahren.

A Robust Western Woman
The Girl of the Golden West
R: Cecil B. DeMille. B: David Belasco (play), Cecil B. DeMille (scenario). K: Alvin Wyckoff. D: Mabel Van Buren, Theodore Roberts, House Peters, Anita King, Sydney Deane, William Elmer. P: Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company. USA 1914/15
"Much of the film was shot at the then-new Lasky ranch. DeMille wrote in his autobiography that the film was shot in eight days, and that some filming was done near Mt. Palomar in San Diego County. According to modern sources, DeMille was the film editor, as well as the director. The film was re-released by the Famous Players-Lasky Corp. in their Success Series on 15 Sep 1918."
AFI CATALOG OF FEATURE FILMS
"David Belasco (1853 – 1931) was an impresario, director and playwright from San Francisco. Throughout his long career, stretching from the 1880s 1930, Belasco either wrote, directed, or produced more than 100 Broadway plays including 'Hearts of Oak', 'The Heart of Maryland' and 'Du Barry', making him one of the most powerful personalities on the New York City theater scene. He is perhaps most famous for having adapted the 1898 John Luther Long short story 'Madame Butterfly' into a 1900 play with the same name and for writing 'The Girl of the Golden West' for the stage in 1905: both were turned into operas by Giacomo Puccini (1904, 1910). More than forty motion pictures have been made from Belasco's works. (…) Giacomo Puccini saw the play in New York in 1907, and was entranced. He immediately decided that it should be turned into an opera. Carlo Zangarini and Guelfo Givinni began work on a libretto. 'La Fanciulla del West', the first piece to be commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera, premiered at New York in 1910, with Belasco as stage director and a stellar cast of singers: Toscanini conducted; Enrico Caruso, Emmy Destinn and Pasquale Amato sang the leads; and Puccini, alone in his box, surveyed the scene. It was received very well. The Girl of the Golden West was made into four films: silent movies in 1915 and 1923, a talkie in 1930 and a Jeanette MacDonald/Nelson Eddy musical in 1938. The opera has been given many times since and remains one of Puccini's finest, if perhaps underrated works."
Jeff Arnold's West
>>> Belasco's play
"Set in concocted California mining town called Cloudy during the postwar interregnum, DeMille's The Girl of the Golden West focuses on a love triangle between 'the Girl' (a.k.a. Minnie), Sheriff Jack Rance of New Orleans, and the Murrieta-type outlaw leader named Ramerrez, forced into banditry due to the dispossession of the Californios. The Girl, who runs the town's rough-and-ready saloon, is a robust western new woman who nonetheless 'has preserved her maidenly modesty'. Her compassion, strength, and love transform Ramerrez, whom she believes is Dick Johnson, a gentleman thief. (…) The film thus grapples with thorny racial and social relations in the borderlands after the Anglo-American colonization of California and the influx of forty-niners. At the same time, it evinced the reformist tenor of the Progressive Era, as well as the contested nature of whiteness in the early twentieth century; the light-skinned Ramerrez easily passes for the Anglo-American stranger Dick Johnson."

US companies emerge as winners from China's Double 11 online shopping spree

Despite fraught ties and an ongoing trade war between China and the US, American companies seem to have just reaped a bumper sales harvest during China's November shopping festivals that will cushion their virus-battered balance sheet, initial sales data provided by China's e-commerce giants showed on Wednesday.
Notably, US firms are doing well on the shopping festival, selling the second-largest amount of goods by country during the first 16 hours on Wednesday, the Singles' Day, trailing only behind Japanese firms, said Tmall, the Chinese e-commerce giant.
"The overall performance of American companies is very good. For example, the sales of Estee Lauder and Procter & Gamble have achieved very large growth in this year's shopping festival. Some products of Estee Lauder have already generated a sale of 2 billion yuan ($303 million)," Liu Bo, vice president of Alibaba Group, told the Global Times.
Liu added that the online sales performance of the US products is the same as usual, noting the "very smooth" sales despite the offline consumption being affected by the epidemic.
US firms are also learning from their Chinese counterparts to adopt some of the most effective sales and marketing approaches trending in China, such as livestreaming e-commerce.
Reading from the performance of this year's Double 11 festival, the livestreaming of the US products is quite outstanding, Yu Feng, general manager of e-commerce content with taobao.com, told the Global Times on Wednesday.
Despite fraught bilateral ties and a trade war that has seen tariffs imposed on tens of billions of dollars of goods, US companies are actually increasing their exposure in the Chinese online shopping festival and China's swiftly recovered economy and recuperate some of their sales losses suffered in the home market amid the economic onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Chinese e-commerce platform Suning, which also celebrates the Singles' Day, 10,000 bottles of Estee Lauder's face cream were sold out in just two minutes and 5 million facial masks were sold in 30 minutes, according to a statement sent to the Global Times on Wednesday.
This came as the brand's global sales fell 9 percent year-on-year in the three months ended September 30.
According to JD.com, the country's second-largest e-commerce company, US companies including Apple, Mobil, Coach, Walmart were among the most successful sellers on November 1, when its shopping festival began.

I have been having a lot of fun painting with wood scraps on pieces of plywood. My latest painting was an easy, colorful, rustic heart.
Happy Sunday! Have you ever had to wait on someone? Waiting can make us feel annoyed, irritated, frustrated, and angry. Knowing how we handle waiting, it really is amazing to think that God waits on us. While we wrestle with our pride and independence or our feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness, he waits patiently for us to come to him. And when we finally do, he does not chastise us for making him wait, but he shows us mercy and grace and compassion. God created us to need him and he longs for us to realize that. When we do, he happily welcomes us with loving arms--no matter how long we have made him wait.
My guest room is, well, a hodge podge of leftovers. AND, it has pink carpeting that we would love to tear out. But, until then, I have tried to embrace the pink by decorating with grey and white and few green and pink touches. I decided the room needed a more homey touch. I decided to start with some vignettes for the dresser and night stand.
I put some of these, and a few more things purchased previously at the thrift store, to create a cute, farmhouse vignette on the top of the dresser in the spare room.
A snowy day gave me the perfect chance to work in my workshop. I wasn't sure what I was going to build. I spied a lovely little piece of live reclaimed wood and decided to make a quick bench.
When I say quick--I mean it takes me about 15 minutes to put this together, another 15 minutes were spent on sanding, and about it took about 15 minutes to clear coat this rustic bench.
Happy Sunday! Recently, I was recalling a high school ski trip I took with friends. The friends I went skiing with were all much better at it than I was. After feeling frustrated on a challenging to me run, my dear friend made me stop and turn around and look up the mountain. She said, "Look at what you just made it down, you can do this!" Her encouragement kept me from quitting. When God's people were feeling discouraged, he often would remind them what he had done for them and the many challenges and hardships they had survived with his help. On the tough days, the days when we are not at our best, the days when we mess up and feel disheartened, we need to remind ourselves that we have made it through other hard days and times. We need to hear God's whisper, "You can do it, I've got you and because I do, you've got this, keep going."
I know,it is NOT Thursday. But, even though I actually had this project done Wednesday (that is a tad early for me 😂), I had to wait for some sunshine to get pictures. They are still not great photos--dear daughter's attic room doesn't get much light on this end.
These two thrift store items were purchased separately--a cute, boho plant hanger and a lazy Susan. I bought the plant hanger for, well, a plant and I always buy lazy Susans, if the price is right, for round signs and small table tops.
I never intended to use the two together, but I spied both of them at the same time hanging out in my craft room (i.e. glorified laundry room) and ding, ding, ding--I had an idea, a hanging side table!
I removed the lazy part or the spinning part from the lazy Susan and lightly sanded it and stained it with espresso colored stain.
A clear coat finished this really (cue sarcasm) difficult project.
I set it in the plant hanger and that was all it took to make a perfect hanging side table. I hung it near my daughter's papasan chair, that sits in a cozy corner of her bedroom. The slanted attic ceiling was the perfect height for the hanging table. Her turntable, aka record player, sits nearby and it is a perfect spot to have a cup of tea and read.
If you need to hang it from a higher ceiling, you could use chain or rope or laundry line to hang the plant hanger from the ceiling. Oh, and the lamp? A thrift store tripod and a lamp kit!
Do you remember making valentine boxes for school? I loved wrapping a cardboard shoe box in construction paper and then plastering doilies and hearts all over it with white paste that I may or may not have enjoyed eating (ew?!!).
I decided to make a grown-up, farmhouse style, valentine box from some scrap boards.
Happy Sunday! This year I am trying to practice some moments of stillness and quietness, and it is hard. We live with so much noise and distractions and big gestures that it is difficult to recognize the small, but important moments. God certainly can speak to us in big, dramatic ways. But, he often wants to get our attention in a small, quiet voice: a friendly smile, a generous act of a neighbor, a song, nature. I wonder how often I miss God because I am looking for the spectacular and I don't hear his gentle whisper. This week let's look for God in the ordinary, every day moments where I know he is waiting for us to simply pause and be still and hear his quiet, loving voice.
With Christmas all put away, I decided I need a new centerpiece. I thought about a wintry one, but chose to jump into Valentine's Day.
became a primitive dry sink or bucket bench. In the past, a dry sink would have held a pitcher and bowl for cleaning up. It often has an upper towel bar or closed shelving under the top tray area. A bucket bench was often kept outside a home and held buckets of water for clean up and other uses inside the home. I decide this piece is sort of a combination of both primitive furniture pieces.
Happy Sunday! It's a new year, a fresh start--does that excite you or scare you? I have seen this quote a lot in the past week: "Today is the first blank page in a 365 day book, write a good one." And while that is true, it stresses me out. What if my first page (January 1) was poorly written--a day spent putting things off and eating too much junk food and being lazy? Did I ruin the whole book? The truth is, each day we get a blank page and a new chance. With God we can't ruin the book with a bad day, a poor decision, or when we totally "screw it up". God's fresh pages never end, he is faithful with new mercies (i.e. compassion, grace, forgiveness, charity) each and every day. Be encouraged knowing that God's love never fails and that his mercy is ALWAYS fresh.
Happy New Year and oh, happy day, Thrifty Thursdays are back! Once a week (most weeks) I will share a project made with easy to find thrift store items.
This week's project started with a couple sweaters, a wire waste basket, and a leather belt (not pictured).
An hour, and these simple thrift store items, plus a few supplies, and I have a cozy sweater basket or container, perfect for winter decor.

Dictyostelium is one of the most successful and best-studied organisms for research into the mechanisms that drive chemotaxis. In this review, we discuss recent progress in the field. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), previously thought by some to be essential for chernotaxis, has now been proven to be dispensable. However, other pathways are emerging which might connect signalling to migration. In particular, phospholipase A2 homologues appear to play an important role. Other areas of current interest include the fundamental processes by which cells move - pseuclopods have been found to be generated in many different ways. Similarly, chernotaxis may be mediated by multiple checks on the number of pseuclopods, rather than by simple generation of new pseuclopods on demand. Finally, we review several advances in the theory of how cells convert shallow, noisy chemical gradients into overt movement.

We began the final day of our pilgrimage early with mixed feelings; anticipation of the climactic conclusion of our journey and sadness that we would soon be parting ways. We headed out at 5:30 AM to walk the Via Dolorosa, the way of suffering which marks the traditional route on which Jesus carried his cross to Golgotha. It was powerfully moving to reflect on the various aspects of Jesus' suffering as we made our way through the maze of city streets, drawing ever closer to the site of Jesus' crucifixion. After breakfast we returned to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, built 1600 years ago to mark the actual rock of Golgotha and the nearby rock-cut tomb of Jesus. As we began to make sense of this complex building we peeled back the layers of history until we could see clearly the setting in which Jesus gave everything to redeem the world and conquer death! After spending some time in the courtyard of a nearby monastery reflecting on the meaning of Jesus' death for us personally, we headed outside the city to a lovely park where we explored the family tomb of Herod the Great. It is the finest example of a first-century rolling stone tomb that we have and it provided a great opportunity to understand Jesus burial and resurrection more clearly. We shared a final time of worship together, praising God for this great victory that he won through Jesus' resurrection and asking him to help us return home with the love and power to share all that we have experienced in these two weeks. The afternoon was spent with last-minute shopping trips and visits and then we gathered at our good friends' restaurant for a closing dinner before saying our goodbyes. We parted knowing that we have formed a bond that will last a life-time ... Thanks for joining us via this photo blog! Why not consider joining us for one of our pilgrimages in 2016?
An early sunrise over the Mount of Olives and the Old City of Jerusalem.
Walking the traditional Via Dolorosa, the Way of Jesus' Suffering, and reflecting at Station Five marking Simon of Cyrene being compelling to carry Jesus' cross.
The battered facade of the ancient Church of the Holy Sepulcher, significant for what happened here rather than the beauty of its architecture.
The rock-cut tomb of Jesus standing under the glorious dome of the resurrection.
Jesus risen and reigning, surrounded by saints and angels in the beautiful mosaic decorating the dome of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
The family tomb of Herod the Great with it's first-century rolling stone, just like the borrowed tomb of Jesus.
Another amazing panoramic shot by Bobby Rognlien, this one of the entire city of Jerusalem, from the bell tower of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer.

Yes, I'm speaking to you, NACAR members and friends of NACAR.
It was evident to me at the March NACAR Board meeting as we discussed our strategic plan, the ideas and priorities of the various Board Committees and the optimistic brainstorming for future growth/development that indeed our organization was "edgewalking." We just had not given a name to our collaborative innovative work!
As I listened to Board members speak, it was a fact that all of our NACAR activities involve the collaboration with you as Associates and Religious throughout the country who are writing, speaking and making present the living God. Our content in the online magazine, THE ASSOCIATE; the insights in the Leadership Manual LEAD WITH SPIRIT; your participation in our professional development webinar Rookies Rock; and your feedback in the NACAR membership surveys promote the 'edgewalker culture'.
With fond farewells, the Board thanked Joe Connell, Sr. Marilyn Gottemoeller, Sr. Judy Gomila and Sr. Jane Forni for their service and contributions to the work of the NACAR Board. However, it was quickly suggested that they be given the "Emeritus" title to recognize their distinguished service and our "perpetual" access to their expertise!
The unique opportunity for Associates and Religious to publish reflections, promote regional programs and share information is available with each issue of the online magazine THE ASSOCIATE. In order to give broader access to the content of this online publication, THE ASSOCIATE in its entirety accessible to all readers. Please consider submitting an article to Sr. Elizabeth Avalos, BVM the Editor of the magazine. But remember the deadline is April 25 for the next issue.
Over the last year, the Board has been listening to the Regional Groups and to individual members who have expressed a desire to reap a greater benefit from their memberships. Responding to that request, the Board has increased the number of authorized member log-in contacts for each Congregation that would correspond to the amount of their dues. In the upcoming membership year, the increased levels of "log-in contacts" will be indicated in the renewal application. Watch for the renewal forms.
The application to renew memberships in NACAR will be emailed to the primary contact in each member congregation or individual in mid to late April. Please watch for this important renewal process so that you remain as an active member of NACAR! Members are the essence of the NACAR contributions to the Associate and Religious relationship.


West Babylon, N.Y.-University of Bridgeport freshman volleyball player Amanda Keller (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) has been selected as the East Conference's Rookie of the Week for outstanding play in matches that took place from September 4 through 9, 2018. This is the second conference award that Keller has received so far in 2018, as she was recognized as the ECC Defensive Player of the Week following the season's opening week.
Keller averaged 2.6 kills and 1.43 blocks per set in a pair of Purple Knights' wins last week. In a four-set win over St. Anselm on Tuesday, she had 10 kills and six blocks, and followed that up with eight kills and four blocks in a straight sets victory over Assumption. Keller also added three digs and two service aces on the week.
Amanda's teammates, senior Ellie Rich (Highland Ranch, Colo.) and junior Morgan Knight (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) earned spots on the ECC Women's Volleyball Honor for their fine performance in last week's two wins for the Purple Knights.
This week, the UB women's volleyball team returns to the court on Tuesday, September 11 when they travel to Albany, N.Y. to take on the College of St. Rose.


(New York and Toronto, Aug 8, GlobeNewsWire) - OMERS Infrastructure announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase an approximately 24 percent interest in Puget Holdings LLC (Puget). Puget's core business is Puget Sound Energy (PSE), a regulated utility that is Washington state's oldest local energy company, providing electric and natural gas service to homes and businesses primarily in the vibrant Puget Sound area. More than one million customers rely on PSE for electricity, while more than 800,000 count on PSE for natural gas.
OMERS Infrastructure is the infrastructure investment manager of OMERS, the defined benefit pension plan for municipal employees in the Province of Ontario, Canada.
"We are very pleased to announce our investment in Puget, which fits strongly with our strategy of acquiring assets aimed at generating steady, long-term cash flow to pay pensions to the OMERS members," said Ralph Berg, OMERS Infrastructure's Executive Vice President and Global Head. "The acquisition of Puget strengthens our presence in the US, including our investments in the Chicago Skyway toll road and Oncor Electric Delivery, the largest transmission and distribution company in Texas," he added.
"We look forward to working with the management team at Puget to continue to efficiently invest for the community, promote the generation of reliable energy and provide high service standards to its customers," said Michael Ryder, Senior Managing Director, Americas, for OMERS Infrastructure.
Further financial information is not being disclosed.


How Do You Know if Inbound Marketing is For You?
Do your customers make highly considered purchases that require them to do research and due diligence?
If they do, proactively answering their questions with relevant and valuable content will make your company visible and begin to build trust as prospects start their searches for solutions to problems.
Is Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) significant enough to justify major investment in attracting new ones?
To do an ROI analysis around inbound you need to understand CLV. Most businesses focus on a new customer's initial transaction or Year 1 revenues, and are surprised when they compare that to CLV. We believe people make better spending decisions when they understand what they're actually getting with a new customer acquisition.
Do you have the resolve to pursue a direction that won't instantaneously boost your numbers?
Inbound is not something you try for 3 months to see if you like it; it's something you commit to, and dedicate your team to. When you have that mindset and the insight to see how and why it works, you'll get the results that will absolutely change the trajectory of your business.
Are you looking for a strategic partner to help grow your business?
You have to look for partners, not vendors. If you're thinking this is going to be the same as how you work with your PR firm, your website company, your branding agency or your SEO team, you might want to think again. You won't be successful if you treat your inbound marketing agency like a vendor. I would also tell you that if your inbound marketing agency wants to be treated like a vendor, they probably don't know how to get you results. They are probably much more comfortable getting you stuff, like blog articles, landing pages, email campaigns and whitepapers. Don't settle for stuff, make sure you get results.
Are traditional business development efforts generating the quantity—or quality—of leads needed to satisfy your growth goals?
If you know you're not getting what you need, just working harder won't change your results. Analyzing the current state compared to what's possible with inbound is part of the discovery process and should always be at the front end of a commitment to inbound.
Are you willing to undergo an organization-wide culture change that may test people's resolve?
Becoming an effective inbound organization is a major shift in how you think about and market your business, and often this requires leadership to reassure and encourage the team.
Does your business truly enjoy some competitive advantages that can be leveraged by showing and telling more people through great content?
Inbound requires transparency, and transparency only works if what the world can now learn about you and from you is valuable and relevant to their needs and challenges, and is better than their alternatives. If you can't make a case for being better at something that matters, work on that before you jump into inbound.
Here are our top 3 resources for getting started with inbound marketing.
How to develop an annual marketing plan.
A step-by-step guide to inbound marketing.
Buyer's journey worksheet & template.
Check out these articles for more information on whether inbound marketing is right for your company.
What's the Required Skillset for Inbound Marketing Success?
We develop programs and create content for clients in complex industries, such as industrial manufacturing, distribution, insurance, and financial services.
...the Inbound Marketing program we developed with them has totally changed how our sales and marketing teams work together – it's made a significant difference in our effectiveness. I have Weidert Group to thank for all our success.

We are from Kansas City and are thinking of biking a portion of trail with our children this fall (ages 2, 5, and will be 8 soon). We regularly do family bike rides with my husband pulling the younger two in a trailer while my oldest rides a trail-behind bike with me. We typically bike to a park about 6.5 miles away (very hilly miles I might add) – play for a bit and return home. If we break up the day and check out the sites along the way I am confident we could do twice that if not a bit further. Any recommendations for where we should start and end would be very appreciated.

SpaceX, ULA and the Delta IV
Delta Heavy / Image Credit United Launch Alliance
An Innerspace Editorial:
In what seems to be becoming something of an annual affair, it was SpaceX versus United Launch Alliance Round earlier this week in Washington D.C.
Last year, SpaceX's Elon Musk and ULA's Michael Gass squared off against each other in a highly contentious Senate Appropriations Committee Hearing. Much of the debate at the time centered on three key issues; the 36 core block buy of ULA rockets, the Russian built RD-180 engine which powers the Atlas V booster, and the billion dollar a year ELC contract (subsidy) which pays ULA irrespective of the number of missions performed.
Just over one year later, both companies were back before Congress, this time on St. Patrick's day, and before the House Armed Services subcommittee instead of the Senate. In the intervening year, much has changed, but the debate was largely the same, albeit conducted in more measured tones, in part because the personalities have changed.
Michael Gass is gone, replaced as ULA President by the very different Tory Bruno, who since taking the helm has gone out of his way to engage the public in a way his predecessor never did. Meanwhile, SpaceX was represented not by founder Elon Musk, but instead by company President and COO Gwynne Shotwell.
Some background:
It was not long after the first hearing that SpaceX filed suit against the block buy, seeking a temporary injunction against the RD-180 engine on the grounds that it violated sanctions levied against Vladimir Putin's inner circle in the wake that nation's seizure of the Crimea. A year later, with the the lawsuit dropped in exchange for a promise of better treatment from the Air Force, the block buy is a matter of fact, but so too is competition. The question is whether or not it will be fair. While SpaceX is now looking forward to certification by the Air Force "by June, " the issue of the launch subsidy looms larger than ever. So too does the reason the sanctions were levied against Russia in the first place.
A day after the hearing, Russians were celebrating the one year anniversary of that invasion, and by extension, the undeclared war against Ukraine which has cost more than 6,000 lives thus far, including the 298 killed when a Russian missile system shot down Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 in July. With Russia flexing its military muscles in a way not seen since the height of the Cold War, the issue of reliance on the RD-180 for U.S. defense launches was one of the key elements of hearing, as well as a separate panel which followed Tuesday afternoon, but it was never addressed in that context, at least by Congress, ULA or the DOD. Gwynne Shotwell however, did observe that Russian Defence Minister Dmitry Rogozin has openly bragged that U.S. purchases of the engine provide "free money" to the Russian defense establishment.
That oversight was not accidental. At the core of the present problem is ULA's decision to retire the single stick Delta booster in 2018, keeping only the triple core Delta Heavy for as long as it is needed. The decision according to ULA's Bruno, was made because the Delta is "not cost competitive" coming in at 30% more than the Atlas V. Finally facing competition from SpaceX for those medium class launches not protected by the block buy, ULA chose to phase out the more expensive of its two lines. That is only part of the story however.
With Delta being phased out, ULA has pushed, and Congress has seemingly accepted the narrative that unless it is allowed to keep purchasing RD-180's for the Atlas V until it has a new engine, and a new rocket designed, built and qualified, a process which could take into the early 2020's, the U.S. is simply exchanging one monopoly for another. It is a flawed argument which seeks to change the definition of a monopoly while obscuring the real issue.
Neither the Atlas V nor the Delta IV boosters are cost competitive versus the Falcon 9. The only difference is that the gap between the Atlas and Falcon 9 is a smaller number, than the one between the Delta series and the Falcon. If the Air Force does indeed open up truly fair competition in the EELV program after the Falcon 9 booster is certified this summer, there is little reason to see why the SpaceX product should lose any launch opportunity it is physically capable of performing. How else can one compare the $164 million dollar figure cited by ULA versus the $80-90 million figure cited by SpaceX? Even if overlooking the additional $100 million ELC/subsidy which accrues to the ULA product?
The answer is painfully simple. Until ULA, or any other new entrant produces a booster which is price competitive to the SpaceX product, there isn't going to be any real competition. Instead, the decision to purchase a significantly more expensive launch service must be made on different grounds entirely, some of which are completely justifiable. It is a disservice however, to call such decisions "competition."
Ever since it went to a two vendor solution in the early days of the EELV program, the Air Force has promoted the idea that the defense establishment requires separate, redundant launch solutions, in order to ensure that if one product line is discovered to have a serious flaw, the other can take up the slack while problems are addressed. It has never been given serious heed however, as Lockheed Martin declined to produce an "Atlas Heavy" and since the formation of United Launch Alliance, efforts have moved in the opposite direction with manufacturing consolidation in Decatur, Alabama and pursuit of a common upper space engine.
The introduction of the Falcon 9 to the EELV program gives the nation what Shotwell termed, "separate, dissimilar" launch solutions, first in the medium category, and with the introduction and eventual certification of Falcon Heavy, across all categories regardless of what booster ULA is flying. Therein lies the policy solution to the real problem addressed, but not acknowledged by the hearing; the retirement of the Delta rocket.
ULA has cited competitive disadvantage as the reason for closing out the production line, but it is also providing a highly convenient tool for threatening Congress with a "monopoly gap" if it is now allowed what it really wants, unfettered access to the RD-180 for as long as possible. In this regard, it is very reminiscent of the leverage used by its parent companies Boeing and Lockheed Martin to secure the launch subsidies beginning in 2003 which continue to this day.
With SpaceX entering the EELV market, there is no reason to succumb to the pressure. Instead, it is time to revisit a different gap, the one in pricing between the Atlas and Delta. With neither actually cost competitive versus the Falcon 9, it very well may be worthwhile to consider paying more for a certain number of Delta boosters after the block buy expires, as opposed to continuing to support Russian military aggression and undermining the U.S. manufacturing base with the purchase of more RD-180's. The actual number could be determined by how serious ULA becomes about Delta pricing once management is forced to deal with the reality that the alternative is not in-house orders for the Atlas-V, but purchases of the SpaceX Falcon 9 instead.
Would ULA be happy? Certainly not, but the Aerojet-Rocketdyne employees building the RS-68A engine which powers the Delta IV clearly would, and more importantly the United States could finally extricate itself from a dependency which has gone on far to long, and has become much darker in recent months. As for SpaceX, it might not be particularly thrilled at what would amount to a mini block buy of Deltas for the 2019 -22 time frame either, but it would at least have the opportunity to influence the outcome in how it bids Falcon, and how soon it could certify Falcon Heavy. From that standpoint, it would be quite similar to NASA's openly competed, but still structured Commercial Crew, CRS-1 and CRS-2 contracts. In the first two instances, SpaceX has offered the lower bid, but not in the expectation of winning everything because the policy benefit of having two providers trumps the cost savings of going only with the lowest bidder.
From a facilities standpoint, ULA is committed to keeping both East and West Coast Delta launch pads operational for the Delta Heavy for years to come anyway. And if a block was necessary to bring down the cost of a mixed fleet, surely a commitment to Delta only model would help its pricing as well.
As for the taxpayer, one element which seems to have been consistently overlooked in EELV purchasing issue is the savings SpaceX is bringing to the table. Roughly speaking, each purchase of a Falcon 9 line launch will result in savings sufficient to "buy down" the gap between it and the Delta. For securing America's sovereignty over its own defense launch market now, rather than at ULA's convenience sometime in the future, it may be well worth any additional expense incurred.
In the long run, the U.S. needs at least two independent government launch solutions, with American companies building American products and competing against each other on a level playing field. One hopes that the new launch system under design by ULA will make that possible. In his opening statements, Mr. Bruno certainly paints an optimistic picture of what the company is seeking to become. Hopefully it will. Unfortunately, much of what came afterward, with nearly comical denials that a subsidy is not a subsidy, and is merely a representation of costs that (everybody?) incurs, as well as threats of higher prices for captive products if it cannot have its way, is a retread of its budget busting past. It is time for Congress to set the company free by breaking its addiction to Russian engines once and for all by denying access beyond the 36 core block buy.
The hearing is below, and begins at the 42 minute mark. For a complete breakdown of other major points addressed, also see Marcia Smith's detailed summary at Spacepolicyonline.

I agree 100% with you about SpaceX but this is NOT journalism, the Russians didn't shoot down the plane.
A couple of points:
First, I did not claim that Russia shot down the plane, rather that a Russian missile system did. There is no credible dispute on that point.
Second, Whether it was ordered by Russian backed rebels, or perhaps less likely by Russia itself, the plane would not have been shot down if Russia were not supporting separatists in the first place.
Third, This is clearly labeled as an opinion piece.
postpost says:
It says Russian missile system, the evidence is very good it was a Russian BUK transverse to the separatists that downed the plane. http://m.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31978578
A View from Europe says:
Ah, another one of Putin's Internet Trolls and Apologists. Nothing like taking a page from Goebbels and keep spreading the big lie…
First they "100 %" agree with you then they repeat the lie. Take a look at RFE/RL's recent article.
"… an army of trolls disseminated pro-Kremlin and anti-Western talking points on blogs and in the comments sections of news websites in Russia and abroad."
I hope you're enjoying your 40,000 rubles a month, or was that 30 pieces of silver?

What part of "Editorial" don't you understand?
znapel says:
What about OrbitalATK? If we're concerned about 'supporting Russian military aggression', should they not also be barred from buying engines from basically the same people?
So far, the Treasury Department hasn't listed NPO Energomash on their sanctions list nor determined that dealing with them would be considered profiting people or entities on their list. That could, at least theoretically, change at any time. If it should, then yes, Orbital would be legally barred from doing business with them. Oddly enough, that change likely wouldn't negatively effect ULA in the short run because, as a national security launcher, it'll be much easier for them to get Congress to approve a waiver. Antares will be stuck up the creek a bit as a purely civilian launcher. Though there is a caveat to my rosy prediction for ULA: Russia could, as Rogoszin threatened, retaliate for expanded sanctions by refusing to ship more engines for US national security launches.
"So far, the Treasury Department hasn't listed NPO Energomash on their sanctions list nor determined that dealing with them would be considered profiting people or entities on their list. That could, at least theoretically, change at any time"
You condemn ULA for "continuing to support Russian military aggression and undermining the U.S. manufacturing base", but OATK gets a pass, unless the Treasury Department decides to increase sanctions?
That's what I don't get about this block.
If buying Russian rocket engines is a Bad Thing then everyone should be barred from doing so. Sorry ULA, no more. No go, NASA. Find another launcher for your probes. Sorry Commercial Crew… That's the end of the program, so to speak. You must either beg SpaceX to sell you rides, or hope you can use Delta at a much greater price.
If the concern is availability, then why ban engines? It's a bit ridiculous to tell someone they can't buy something, with the reason being someone else might tell them they can't. Since Rogozin made his boast of cutting off the supply to the US they've taken delivery of several engines. Tell ULA or OATK that they can go ahead and bid on a launch. But, if they win the bid they either must provide assurances of having a suitable engine, or face massive penalties for failing to launch because of a missing engine.
It will be interesting to see how the next few years pan out for US launch. However, one can be forgiven for finding it odd that one launch provides main line of business is being put in jeopardy, but weirdly there's little 'collateral damage' putting the same hurt onto related civil programs. Programs that would see a dramatic increase in costs, and bad PR, hurting NASA's ambitions.
If everyone determines buying Russian engines is bad, I'm OK with that. Just make the reasoning consistent.
My apologies, I realized a couple of minutes after submitting my comment that Mr. "Smith" wasn't the author of the piece. My point remains.

You will absolutely admire these black and silver eyeglasses. This universally flattering frame features an emphasized matte black metal browline bordering wayfarer shaped lenses with silver details. The tapering metallic temples end in acetate arm tips for additional comfort. Adjustable nose pads mold this look to complement all face shapes.
My glasses are perfect. I received an email for every step until I got my glasses. Will buy another pair.
Thanks for years of good buys.
I have used eyebuydirect for years now and each pair of eyeglasses is quality at a great price.

Dealing with changes that are good for the team … but not so good for players involved.
Their meeting came in the wake of small forward Mickael Pietrus' shouting match with Van Gundy near the bench on Wednesday night.
Frustrated with his dwindling role, Pietrus was pulled out of the game by Van Gundy after just three minutes into the final period during the Magic's blow-out victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Amway Center.
Teammates, including co-captain Dwight Howard, tried to calm Pietrus. One player said that MP wanted to be traded if he's not playing regularly, although MP told me he didn't want to leave a contender.
Van Gundy and Pietrus both confirmed Thursday to the Sentinel that they exchanged words.
"MP was unhappy about when he went into the game and he was unhappy about me telling him to play defense," Van Gundy said. "He didn't like what I was saying and I didn't like his response, so I took him out of the game."
After Van Gundy announced in camp that he would be tinkering — using bigger lineups with postseason matchups in mind — this was bound to happen.
The experimenting at power forward causes chain reactions felt at small forward — Pietrus' position.
Van Gundy already had a sit-down with power forward Ryan Anderson. Anderson expressed his displeasure after seeing Brandon Bass move past him in the rotation.
Next game — or next week — it might be another player or two grumbling as Stan carries out his plan.
"It's going to be a tough thing for a few of our guys. The good part is we have a flexibility to play different situations, but to do that, somebody has to pay every night," Van Gundy said.
"I guess, as we go along, we'll see who can handle it and produce. I don't mind if they are pissed off with me, but I don't want it translating to their teammates. I need them to stay together as a group."
This is the critical part — players making sacrifices for the greater good.
Players and coaches squabbling over playing time is nothing new in the NBA — or in Orlando. Bass was upset last season, J.J. Redick the season before that.
Van Gundy said "it's not personal" and he admires MP, a sweetheart of a guy and a fierce competitor. Then again, Pietrus, in his third season with the Magic, always has had a meaty role.
Pietrus concedes he is frustrated, but meant no disrespect to Van Gundy.
"I'm a very competitive guy. What I miss the most is being out there," he said. "It's not playing time; it's getting back that adrenalin that I need. It's hard for me not to have that.
"It's why I'm so frustrated. … I respect Stan. Of course. He's like part of my family."
The irony is that Van Gundy started Anderson at power forward against the T-Wolves, liking his match-up against Kevin Love.
The trickle-down forced Rashard Lewis to vacate the power-forward spot and start at small forward. That sent small forward Quentin Richardson to the bench and buried Pietrus — Richardson's backup — behind Q-Rich and Lewis.
Van Gundy didn't put Pietrus into the game until the start of the final quarter, with the Magic ahead by 39. MP was irritated with mop-up minutes after playing 12 minutes in the rout of Washington. Van Gundy then benched Pietrus after their tiff, replacing him with Redick.
MP pledged to remain professional and wait his turn on arguably the league's deepest team.
"That's what makes it tough, when there are so many players who can play," Pietrus said. "All of us bring a lot to the table, but you don't have a lot of space on the table to put everybody's dishes."
For the Magic, it's all about whether players keep from breaking the fine china over Van Gundy's head.

Rivian Building Outdoor Adventure Charging Network
Dec. 10, 2020 1:15 PM ET by Jay Traugott Off-Road / 3 Comments
Because owners will need extra juice in the middle of nowhere.
Along with building the all-electric R1T and R1S, Rivian also wants to be known as an outdoor adventure lifestyle brand. Last summer, it proved to the world the R1T had what it takes to complete a 13,000-mile adventure through South America over a 100-day time period. Two trucks were driven by the supporting film crew for "Long Way Up," the latest adventure documentary from Hollywood star and Obi-Wan Kenobi himself, Ewan McGregor, and longtime close friend Charley Boorman. The pair rode all-electric Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
And because Rivian wants its customers to take their vehicles everywhere and anywhere, they'll also need to recharge them. TechCrunch reports the automaker has designed and begun building a network of DC fast-charging stations throughout the US.
The Rivian Adventure Network will consist of chargers at key locations like mountain bike and hiking trails, kayaking spots, and possible rock climbing crags.
"We're excited about the opportunity to create Rivian charging locations that aren't on the interstate, that help draw you or enable you to go to places that normally are not the kinds of places that invite or welcome electric vehicles because of charging infrastructure," said Rivian founder and CEO R.J. Scaringe. "We've spent a lot of time thinking about how you can essentially create these curated drives where, depending on your point of interest, you can pick different paths."
These charging units are expected to provide up to 140 miles of range in just 20 minutes. What still remains a mystery is whether or not Rivian will open this network to non-Rivian owners.
Tesla's Supercharging network, for example, is exclusively for its owners. One indicator Rivian might open its network to non-owners is that the rapid charging connectors it uses are Combined Charging System (CCS) units, meaning that other EVs with the CCS standard can also connect, though it's possible software could be used to block their use.
Rivian hasn't said exactly how many off-road charging stations will be open by next summer - when R1T and R1S deliveries begin - but Scaringe did say that dozens of stations are planned for all 50 states, and each will have an average of six charging connectors.
