Paul Van Dyk and Saad Ayub Release Trance Record "Future Memories"
Paul van Dyk linked up with a young Toronto trance producer on his latest album.
Katie Stone
Following the release of "Trust You, Trust Me," up-and-coming Toronto trance producer Saad Ayub has partnered up with trance legend Paul van Dyk's VANDIT Records once more - this time in the form of a collaboration with the trance legend himself. Together, van Dyk and Ayub created "Future Memories" which will appear on van Dyk's ninth artist album, Music Rescues Me. "Future Memories" is a dynamic record that embodies all of the stunning qualities of trance music.
"Future Memories" is a hypnotic, high-energy track. The rolling kick drums and surging synth stabs create an atmospheric energy that soothes the soul. van Dyk and Ayub transition us with a white noise riser that bellows in to ease the pattern. They then slowly build us back up to deliver the final notes of the track. Trance fans will rejoice in hearing the iconic sounds of van Dyk layered with the young producer's undeniable flair
Speaking on the track, Ayub had this to say:
"While the outfits have changed, colours evolved and there are decidedly more lasers, dance music connects people today the same way it always has. We make new memories, while reminiscing about the past. That's what "Future Memories" is all about!"

German music producer Paul van Dyk is one of the world's most renowned names in trance music. He's played an integral role in developing the genre throughout the decades. Music Rescues Me is his next project to debut to the world. The 15-track album features artists Lostly, Alan Wyse, Sue McLaren, Alex M.O.R.P.H., Jack Cottle, Chris Bekker, Plumb, Steve Dekay, Rafael Osmo, Delta One, Jordan Suckley, Project 8, and the aforementioned Saad Ayub.
On the topic of Music Rescues Me, van Dyk said in a statement:
"This new album is not about music bringing one person back from the brink. Its theme reaches beyond that. This is about music's ability to open us up, to stimulate mental imagery, to unlock or bring back memories. It's about its often hard-to-fathom capacity to support us, to get us through our tougher or more challenging times, as well as soundtracking the good ones, and making them even better."
Ayub is the newcomer ready to take trance by storm. He was an influencer in the dance music scene in his home country of Bangladesh. Ayub worked with event organizers, promoters, and other DJs to build a dance music following where one had never existed. Known for his eight-hour shows, he has helped build the groundwork for what is now a thriving dance music scene in Bangladesh. His distinctive, pulsating progressive sound landed him headlining gigs and opened the door for him to be the resident DJ for Ministry of Sound UK's World Tours in Bangladesh.

This Metaverse Game Token Is LIT All December – Newsbtc.com
The metaverse has arrived and there is no doubt that it is here to stay. In recent months, metaverse tokens have been getting a lot of love from the crypto market. Most crypto metaverse projects have soared in the past few weeks. Projects like MANA and SAND have been rallying to new highs as focus shifts to the metaverse.
New entrants have also enjoyed much success from this newfound popularity. Metaverse tokens have shown great promise due to their utility and one of these projects is CBX.
Launched about a month ago on November 5th, the digital asset had spiked 3,000% on the first day of launch. CBX saw increasing support in subsequent days which has pushed the project even further into the spotlight.
CBX is all set to continue this streak in December as it launches on major cryptocurrency exchanges. It will be a month to remember for investors and gamers with exciting new features being launched.
December Is The Month Of CBX
CBX is the native token of the farming simulation game CropBytes. However, CropBytes is not just any farming simulation game. In addition to owning a farm, players can also mine CBX in the game. Much of the success of the CBX token has been attributed to the success of its predecessor metaverse game, CropBytes.
The token was recently launched on Uniswap and is already listed on three major exchanges only a month later. Users are now able to buy, trade, and swap CBX on ByBit, MEXC, HotBit exchanges.
Investors in the token have already seen massive returns from their investments with the token trading 600% above its IEO price.
CropBytes Gearing Up For Christmas
CropBytes is bringing Christmas gifts early for its players with new exclusive events scheduled for December. The game is getting a makeover with an all-new snow theme and new 3D terrain. The game will also feature some new and innovative ways for players to stake CBX for in-game assets.
CBX mining and burning is set to resume on the platform in December. Players will be able to mine CBX directly inside CropBytes as well as burn tokens in the game. Valuable game assets will be paid as rewards to those who stake their CBX within CropBytes. Players will also be able to generate CBX inside of the game by just farming and selling their produce. Lastly, asset tokenization is coming to CropBytes which would allow for the release of assets on-chain. This brings huge scope for Game-fi & lending!
The strong economics of the project has fueled continued faith in the project, especially not the part of players. "It is totally worth investing in this game," one player said. "I started in November 2021 and now I am making a steady income on my farm. Real earnings are possible in this game even with a small start. Thanks, CropBytes."
Partners of the project have also expressed great trust in the future of CropBytes. DareNFT recently announced that it would launch collaborative events with the metaverse game. Venture fund Draper Dragon said that the project showed great potential and has publicly shown support for the project.
Use Cases Of CBX
CBX's use cases are vast in the CropBytes metaverse. Players are able to purchase packs and seeds using the token which they need to start their farming journey. CBX also allows players to extract CBX and assets in-game, as well as access to trading pairs that are live on the game exchange.
Holding CBX also guarantees players access to exclusive holders-only events.
Users can get CBX tokens by mining them inside the game using their animals and assets, in addition to being able to purchase them from other players and trading platforms. CBX tokens can also be earned from participating in community programs such as the Army program and participating in social events on Telegram, Discord, and Twitter.

At the end of May the FT sent me to photograph wheat farmer Ben Taylor in Sussex. The farm has had only 12mm of rain since March and the crop at best will only produce 50% of its usual yield. The average rainfall for the same period is 180mm. Ben was great to meet. He took me on a hair-raising journey up steep farm tracks to his fields on the top of the downs. It was good to hear that when he drove the bomb disposal squad up the track, to diffuse an old WW2 bomb, they were equally uneasy!

NSF Awards UCLA $2M Grant for Study of Nanoscale Two-Dimensional Layered Materials
From University of California, Los AngelesAug 30 2014
A team of UCLA researchers has received a $2-million, four-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Frontiers in Research and Innovation to explore new approaches to assembling nanoscale materials for use in a variety of manufacturing and research applications.
Known as two-dimensional layered materials, or 2DLMs, this emerging class of materials shows breakthrough potential in fundamental materials science and technologies, including electronics, optoelectronics, bioelectronics, energy conversion and energy storage.

"Two-dimensional layered materials have great promise to open up new technologies that take advantage of their ultra-thin properties," said Yu Huang, the project principal investigator and an associate professor of materials science and engineering at the UCLA Henry Sameuli School of Engineering and Applied Science. "We are looking to understand their fundamental electronic, chemical and physical properties and explore manufacturing processes that are low-cost and simple for industry to adopt."
Co-principal investigators on the research include Kang L. Wang. UCLA's Raytheon Professor of Electrical Engineering; Xiangfeng Duan, UCLA's Howard Reiss Career Development Chair in Chemistry & Biochemistry; and James De Yoreo, chief scientist for Materials Synthesis and Simulation Across Scales at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and an affiliate professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Washington.
The best known 2DLM is graphene, a sheet of carbon just one atom thick. The UCLA group will concentrate on 2DLMs comprised of well-defined crystalline structures such as transition metal dichalcogenides. They will explore the scalable production of these versatile 2DLMs using methods that are relatively simple and inexpensive.
Specifically, the team will research an approach for assembling electronics-grade, continuous films of two-dimensional layered materials from nano-scale plates suspended in liquids. This potentially low-cost method could allow for excellent control of chemical composition, structure and dimensions, and therefore could be individualized to specific applications. A range of 2DLMs could enable transformative advances across a wide range of traditional and emerging technologies.

Bradshaw's return can't save UCS Old Boys from another defeat
UCS Old Boys' player-coach Carl Bradshaw made his first appearance of the season and scored two tries against Old Priorians. Pic: Nick Cook/UCS Old Boys - Credit: Archant
UCS's search for their first points of the season continues after they slipped to the foot of the table following a 74-12 defeat at the hands of promotion challengers Old Priorians in London North-West Division Two.
The visitors had smashed London Nigerian 104-0 the previous weekend so UCS were fully aware of the power of their opposition – but they were punished for lax tackling in the opening five minutes as the visitors took an early 10-point lead.
Carl Bradshaw's first appearance of the season offered some hope after he broke the Priorians' line on a number of occasions, but the player-coach couldn't prevent the visitors from running in three more tries.
The visitors' efficient use of the ball prevented the Old Boys from getting a hold of the game, but Bradshaw eased the pressure with a try as his side pressed to narrow the gap before the break.
However, normal service was resumed after the restart in a near mirror image of the first half as the Old Priorians strolled over for another try following more weak tackling.
Things then went from bad to worse for the Old Boys when former skipper Dave O'Dwyer was sent to the sin-bin for a professional foul to prevent yet another score – and his efforts were in vain as the Priorians added to their tally just five minutes later.
As in the opening period, UCS found their feet following a shaky start, with the boot of Alex Lowe giving them good field position, and when they spread the ball wide, Bradshaw crashed over from two yards for his second score.

A fightback was never forthcoming though, and the game ended much the way it had started, with Old Priorians running in a further four tries from deep within their own half to secure a comfortable victory.


The SIC estimates it would save around £170,000 a year by shutting Voe's small primary school and Skerries' three-pupil secondary department.
Consultations on closing the two schools began today and will conclude, following four public meetings, on Friday 28th June.
Councillors are unlikely to be asked to take a final decision until November, after which the Scottish Government would have a six-week window to "call in" and review any closure decisions.
If Olnafirth Primary School, with 13 pupils, and Skerries' secondary do ultimately shut, pupils will be transferred to Brae and the Anderson High School respectively next summer.
Schools service officials at Hayfield predict that closing Olnafirth would save £91,309 a year. Ending the provision of secondary education in Skerries would yield an estiamted £76,336 a year.
In Olnafirth's case the savings would come after extra transport costs of around £33,000 are deducted. The Skerries savings figure factors in a combined £4,100 to cover the cost of travel and housing pupils in Lerwick's hostel during the school week.
These are the first schools to come under the microscope since the nationwide Commission on Rural Education published its findings on how school closure legislation is working. The publication of its report prompted education minister Mike Russell to lift a moratorium on closures, which he had put in place nearly two years ago.
The SIC's "refreshed" blueprint for education is the latest in a long line of attempts to shut rural schools. It forms part of efforts to shed over £3 million from its £41 million education budget and tackle the local authority's deep-rooted spending crisis.
Consultations on shutting junior highs in Aith and Sandwick will follow in the autumn. A further four primaries, along with Whalsay's junior high, are mooted for closure further down the line.
The school roll at Olnafirth has dropped lately and is only operating at 10 per cent of its 125-pupil capacity. It was initially targeted for closure in 2010 but was left in limbo during the moratorium.
Hayfield officials say the decline is "due in part to placing requests by parents". Parents may counter that more pupils are being sent five miles up the road to Brae due to uncertainty over whether the school has a future.
In this financial year, the per pupil cost at Olnafirth is £13,413 – compared to £5,726 at Brae's primary department.
Officials say closure "would not result in unacceptable travel time for pupils". They also suggest children would benefit from a larger peer group and a "more viable cohort of pupils" for group activities.
The Skerries community is no stranger to consultations. It has faced down numerous attempts at taking away its secondary department, earning three reprieves in the past decade. The most recent came in December 2010 when councillors voted 12-10 to keep Scotland's smallest secondary open.
Jubilant Skerries folk rejoicing after their secondary was spared the axe in late 2010.
On that occasion an impassioned plea from ex-SIC leader and North Isles member Josie Simpson persuaded enough colleagues that the island's fragile economy would struggle to cope.
But the updated proposal paper insists there would be "no detrimental effect" on the community's sustainability. It points to a 2008 study saying the pupil roll has shown an "almost continuous decline" since the 1970s despite the secondary department's presence.
If there was a negative effect, officials argue, it would be offset by pupils' opportunity to access "greater educational provision and choice" and a larger peer group.
While Skerries offers "a quality education" to pupils, officials point out that it is expensive. In 2013/14 the per pupil cost was £36,398, compared to £6,247 at the AHS. The Shetland-wide average in 2011/12 was £9,517.
There will be two public consultation meetings for each proposal: in Olnafirth's case, one in Voe Public Hall from 7-9pm on Wednesday 29th May, followed by one at Brae High School from 7-9pm the following night.
The AHS will host a meeting on Skerries from 7-9pm on Tuesday 28th May, followed by a session in Skerries Hall from 12 noon-2pm on Friday 7th June.
Full proposal papers for each of the consultations are available online at www.shetland.gov.uk/education/blueprint_for_education.asp. Hard copies are available at the affected schools, at Shetland Library or from Hayfield House.
More in Friday's Shetland Times.
The price per pupil is an important issue, but the reasons for closing a school should not be based on costs; it should be based on the education standards. There has always been a consistent level of good grades from Skerries School which shows how this school has greatly benefited its pupils.

He called the service "bad news for women," claiming that "Post abortion trauma is becoming a major women's disease when they try to come to terms with the guilt, grief and anger at the loss of life" (Brown 1997:2). In the United States as well, antiabortion organizations claim that abortion is a health risk for women because it can lead to Postabortion Syndrome. Indeed, this claim against abortion has its origins in the American abortion debate. As Chapter 3 details, the term "Postabortion Syndrome" first emerged in the abortion debate in North America in the early 1980s.
However, opponents of abortion were outraged by the argument that it should be made as easy as possible for a woman to end a pregnancy. Jack Scarisbrick, Life's chairman, drew attention to the idea that abortion makes women mentally ill. He called the service "bad news for women," claiming that "Post abortion trauma is becoming a major women's disease when they try to come to terms with the guilt, grief and anger at the loss of life" (Brown 1997:2). In the United States as well, antiabortion organizations claim that abortion is a health risk for women because it can lead to Postabortion Syndrome.
It is argued that, given this research gap in the case made by supporters of legal abortion, "pronouncements concerning the psychological safety of induced abortion are at this time premature at best, and at worst, misleading and harmful to women's health" (Rue 1995:26). Other villains, according to PAS advocates, are those involved in the provision of abortion services. Doctors and abortion providers are often constructed as villains because, it is claimed, they pay little heed to the damaging consequences for women of the abortions they provide.

ETF Ride Systems and Jora Vision present Pirate Mania mini dark ride
ETF Ride Systems, a leading ride designer and manufacturer, and Jora Vision, a leading design and production company for themed attractions, have joined forces to present a new mini dark ride for FECs at SEA 2020.
ETF Ride Systems and Jora Vision are pleased to be exhibiting at the Saudi Entertainment and Amusement Show (SEA) 2020, where they will be showcasing Pirate Mania, a new mini dark ride designed for FECs. The show takes place in Riyadh from 3 – 5 February.
Pirate Mania is ideal for indoor locations as it adds an interactive experience for the whole family, with a small footprint. It is also repeatable, so encourages further visits. It is the first high-quality interactive dark ride created with FECs and smaller venues in mind and requires only 250 square metres of floor space.
Pirate Mania
ETF will be the turnkey supplier, providing the ride vehicles and interactive system, while Jora Vision is responsible for the design and build of the theming. Jora Vision has received six Thea awards to date, and three of these are projects that the company has worked on alongside ETF Ride Systems.
The ride follows the story of some pirates who have set up a training course and challenged visitors to learn their skills. Onboard the pirate-themed vehicles, riders use guns to find and take aim at hidden pirate skulls throughout the course. The innovative ride also includes animated targets, which are small screens integrated within the show set. One scene even takes place inside a blacklight lighted box.
An immersive family experience
"For Pirate Mania, we are using the Mystic Mover system, which is the smart smaller member of the ETF trackless family," says Ruud Koppens, CEO of ETF Ride Systems. "It follows a mounted wire in the floor, so visitors will not be distracted by a track. The vehicle has a double bench and a capacity of 4 guests.
"The track path is also extraordinary: we added fancy movements such as 90° turns and a 360° on-the-spot rotation, in the middle of a sunken pirate ship. An onboard sound system will be integrated. We are proud to work with Jora Vision to launch this new product into the market."
Jan Maarten de Raad, CEO of Jora Vision says: "Many theme parks value dark rides as a type of attraction. If it is made well, it is an immersive family experience which involves music, lighting, show-sets and integrated media. However, we strongly believe there is another market for dark ride experiences: the smaller FEC's usually placed in shopping malls or commercial areas.
"Because of the small footprint and budget-friendly concept, we hope to convince FEC's that such dark rides are a great investment to diversify the entertainment offer. Of course with an excellent theming and story."
Attendees at SEA 2020 can find the ETF Ride Systems team at booth #1D18 and Jora Vision at booth #1C19.
ETF Ride Systems won "Best Use of Technology" for Popcorn Revenge at the Park World Excellence Awards 2019. Jora Vision recently announced that it has signed a contract to develop a Pushkin theme park in St.Petersburg, Russia, called Lukomorye.

Adams Prospecting Company of Colorado signed by W. B. Dickerman, cofounder of Dominick & Dominick - 1880
Product #: newitem1154641256
Normal Price: $199.95
Our Sales Price: $149.95
Beautiful certificate from the Adams Prospecting Company of Colorado issued in 1880. The company was incorporated in New York. This historic document was printed by Corlies, Macy & Co. Stationers Company and has an ornate border around it. This item has the signatures of the Company's President, W. B. Dickerman and Secretary. William Adams and is over 137 years old. Minor cut on right margin, not affecting border.
Dominick & Dominick was founded on June 15, 1870, as Dominick & Dickerman by William Gayer Dominick and Watson Bradley Dickerman. Born in Chicago, Dominick moved to New York as a child. In 1869 at the age of 25 he purchased a membership in the New York Stock Exchange. Here he met Connecticut-born Dickerman, who was one year younger, and they decided to go into business together, forming their own stock brokerage firm. Two of Dominick's brothers, George and Bayard Dominick, also became Exchange members and partners in the firm.
Dominick & Dickerman prospered and in 1889 opened it first branch office, located in Cincinnati, where the firm was only one of two Exchange members. A year later Dickerman left the firm when he was elected president of the New York Stock Exchange. He had failed in an earlier bid in 1883, despite being the head of a ticket put forward by the regular Nominating Committee, losing out to an independent ticket. He would serve as president from 1890 to 1892, then return to the firm.
Dominick & Dickerman changed its name in 1899 to Dominick & Dominick, and several new partners were added, including Milnor B. Dominick, Andrew V. Stout, J. A. Barnard, and Bernon S. Prentice. By this time George Dominick had left the firm but other family members would also join Dominick & Dominick, including Darius Dominick and Bayard Dominick, Jr.
Dickerman would retire in 1909 and devote the rest of his life to his great passion, the breeding of trotter racehorses. In 1884 he had purchased land in New Rochelle, New York, to establish Hillanddale Farm, which would grow into a 500-acre estate and one of the America's most respected and prolific stables. He passed away at the age of 77 in 1923.
DICKERMAN, Watson Bradley, of Mamaro- neck, New York, was born in Mount Carmel, Connecticut, January 4, 1846, son of Ezra and Sarah (Jones) D1ckerman. His father was of Mount Carmel and his mother of Wallingford, Connecticut. The subject of our sketch is a lineal descendant in the fourth generation of Isaac Dickerman of New Haven, and the ancestors from whom each line is descended were settled in New England prior to 166o. Mr. Dickerman attended the Williston Seminary, Easthampton, Massachusetts, during the three years, 1861, 1862 and 1863. He received his training for active business life in the banking house of J. Bunn of Springfield, Illinois, where he was a clerk from 1864 to November 1866. Following his retirement from this position he came to the East and settled in New York city, was elected a member of the New York Stock Exchange in November 1868, and two years later formed a stock brokerage firm, with W. G. Dominick, under the style of Dominick & Dickerman. This partnership still continues and the business has its office at 74 Broadway. Mr. Dickerman was a Governor of the Stock Exchange from 1875 to 1%%2 , was elected its President and served in that capacity twice, in 189o and 1891. Was again made Governor in 1892 and retains that distinction at the present writing. He is also a Director of the Long Island Loan and Trust Company and is President of the Norfolk & Southern Railroad Company. Mr. Dickerman is associated with some of the most popular social organizations in the city. He is a member of the Metropolitan and the Union League clubs, the Century Association (all of New York), the Brooklyn Club, the Country Club (Westchester, New York) and the New York Yacht Club.

Morning Markets Brief 10-5-2020
Global risk assets are rising this morning as investors ponder the ramifications of President Trump's Covid-19 infection for the US political and policy outlook. S&P 500 futures point to a 0.6% higher open after the index sold off sharply on Friday but bounced from the lows of the morning to close at -1.0%, paring its year-to-date gain to 3.6%, which is 6.4% below early September's record high. Equities in the EU and Asia were also generally higher overnight. Ebbing demand for safe haven assets is seen in a weaker dollar and slightly higher longer-dated Treasury yields this morning, with the 10-year yield at 0.71%. Brent crude prices are recovering a portion of last week's steep downtrend, bouncing back above $40 per barrel.
Political Uncertainty Eases on President Trump's Covid-19 Prognosis
Indications over the weekend that President Trump is on the path to recovery from his coronavirus infection are slightly moderating investor anxieties over the political and policy outlook. Despite garbled messaging over the timeline of President Trump's diagnosis alongside varied indications of his condition and a lack of full transparency, investors are broadly assuming that the risk of a worst-case outcome have diminished. A statement over the weekend by his doctors that President Trump may be released from the hospital as early as today have also eased some concerns, though commentators suggest that this may be an aspirational possibility rather than a realistic one. President Trump has continued to tweet and is not stepping away from his campaign, though it is unclear when he might be able to return to full activities such as rallies and fundraisers. Analysts are pondering the ramifications of this episode for the election, as a WSJ/NBC poll released over the weekend showing Joe Biden extending his lead following Tuesday's debate was taken before President Trump's diagnosis. A closely-followed prediction market has reflected rising odds of a Biden win over the past week and is now near its highest level for this election cycle after registering a peak 66% likelihood late last week. Biden thus far has tested negative for Covid-19. A Vice Presidential debate is currently scheduled for Wednesday.
Narrow Hopes Remain for Fiscal Stimulus
The Senate is out of session now until October 19th and gaps remain between the terms offered by House Democrats and the White House, but glimmers of hope persist as both sides highlight the need for a deal. From the hospital over the weekend, President Trump redoubled his support for a pandemic relief bill via Twitter, calling for both side to "get it done." However, gaps remain between the House Democrats and the White House, particularly in the area of aid to states. However, the tone may have improved as House Speaker Pelosi noted that the illness of the President and other GOP figures "changes the dynamic" and stated that negotiators "have to find a path." She also called on US airlines to hold off on planned layoffs and furloughs, indicating that a forthcoming deal would provide payroll support. NEC Director Kudlow also sounded relatively optimistic notes in his commentary on Friday. For context, the House passed the Democrat-drafted $2.2 trillion version of the bill last Thursday night and went on recess, but would be recalled in the event of an agreement. Even if House Democrats and the White House agree, passing the Senate may be difficult, with the Republican-led caucus primarily focused on confirming Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court once it reconvenes mid-month.
Euro Holds Up Despite Mixed Data – The euro is continuing its rebound against the dollar this morning, re-approaching the more than two-year highs of August, after a reading of regional retail sales for August handily topped estimates. The 4.4% month-on-month acceleration bettered expectations of 2.5% and July's -1.8% pace, yielding a 3.7% year-on-year expansion versus a forecast of 2.2%. However, more contemporaneous data in the EU has been less encouraging, and the recent signs of a second wave of Covid-19 in various continental hotspots may already be weighing on economic activity in the bloc. September service sector purchasing managers' indexes (PMIs) for Spain and France, where outbreaks are recurring, have moved back into sharply contractionary territory.
Brexit Negotiations Intensify – Ahead of UK Prime Minister Johnson's self-imposed October 15th deadline to forge a trade deal with the EU ahead of its exit from the block at year-end, the wrangling is continuing over key sticking points. Chief negotiators for the EU and UK both characterized the challenges remaining in their statements late last week, with the EU's Barnier noting "persistent serious divergences" and the UK's Lord Frost cautioning that the fishing rights dispute may be "impossible to bridge." PM Johnson spoke over the weekend with European Commission President von der Leyen and negotiations will be ongoing until the EU summit at the end of next week.

Michele Borba is an educational psychologist and parenting expert. In this Educational Leadership article, she writes, "empathy is at the core of everything that makes a school caring, a teacher responsive, and a society civilized. When empathy wanes, narcissism, distrust, aggression, bullying, and hate rise-and schools suffer." Borba believes that empathy comprises nine teachable competencies a few of which are emotional literacy, moral identity and perspective taking and she looks at how empathetic schools are approaching this work. She also identifies seven core principles for effective empathy education.

In this Education Week article, Sarah D. Sparks writes that teens are likelier to engage in risky behaviors and disengage from school and looks at emerging cognitive and neuroscience research that suggests ways schools can help "leverage teens' strengths in this unique developmental period." While teens do evaluate the potential harm of risky behaviors, many of them engage in them anyway because they place a higher priority on social approval. Traditional anti-bullying programs that work for younger students become ineffective in grade 8 because they do not address the more complex social situations when bullying often takes less-visible forms.

The Manetti Shrem Museum's grand opening will feature a unique ribbon created by UC Davis alum

A rendering of artist Lisa Ryobovich Crallé's ribbon, to be cut at the grand opening of the Manetti Shrem Museum
The new Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum will be tied up in a one-of-a-kind ribbon for its grand opening ceremony on Nov. 13.
Through Verge Center for the Arts, the museum commissioned Bay Area-based artist and UC Davis alum Lisa Rybovich Crallé to create the ribbon concept. The three-dimensional ribbon, which Crallé likens to a piece of jewelry because of its chain-like quality, comprises more than 400 interlocking, fabric-covered foam loops, each measuring three and a half feet in diameter, and is expected to clock in at 1,500 feet long when it is installed on the exterior of the Manetti Shrem Museum during the first week of November.
Also wanting to incorporate the community in the creation process, Crallé has hosted two workshops this month, and will hold two more in the coming weekends, during which artistic attendees can contribute to the ribbon by painting the interlocking hoops.
"I've had a chance to talk with almost 300 participants now, and it's really wonderful to hear how excited people are to be a part of this," says Crallé. "They're just really enthusiastic and supportive."
The workshops are free to attend, and Verge provides the art supplies to decorate the foam rounds. Folks can put their stamp on the ribbon at the two remaining opportunities on Saturday, Oct. 15, from 1-4 p.m. at Verge Center for the Arts, and Saturday, Oct. 22, from 1-4 p.m. at Napa Valley Museum in Yountville.
"A lot of the people who have participated in the workshop have said things like, 'I haven't worked with paint since I was a kid,' and there's kind of a caveat that unless you are pursuing a career or hobby as an artist, the hands-on quality of art gets lost," says Crallé. "What's been really wonderful for me is to provide an opportunity for people to try their hand at painting again and connect to what it's like to produce art. That type of engagement will hopefully encourage people to look at the art in the new museum with fresh eyes and more of an awareness of what that process is like."
The ribbon will be ceremoniously "cut" at noon during the museum's grand opening on Nov. 13: A section of the ribbon will be tied together with silk bows, which will be then be untied to signify the ribbon cutting. The ribbon will hang in front of the Manetti Shrem for an as yet-undetermined amount of time before it is taken down and sectioned off. (Pieces of the ribbon will go to Verge and the Manetti Shrem Museum, while a section will become a semi-permanent installation in Davis' City Hall.)

15 Moments When Celebrities Completely Lost It On Air
by Elaine Chaney
– on Oct 20, 2016
in Shocking
Celebrities! They're just like us right?! If you woke up this morning next to George Clooney in Lake Como, then yes, celebrities are just like you. But for the majority of us, celebrities are completely unrelatable. Celebrities live an entirely different lifestyle than the regular ol' 9 to 5'er, but for all the pros that a celebrity has, there are a few cons. (Not enough to actually make us feel sorry for them but just enough to point out in an article purely for our entertainment.)
For example, a celebrity's career hinges not only on their actual job of acting, singing or whatever it is Carrot Top is famous for, but it also hinges on how they act outside of work. While a lot of us can have a bad day that's usually forgotten after a day or two, a bad day for a celebrity can be immortalized into something they can't forget even if they wanted to thanks to the internet. Celebrities aren't supposed to have bad days like us, that is why publicists exist.
But publicists aren't magicians, they only have so many sugar-coated words to cover up bad celebrity behavior. They can instruct a celebrity how to act and what to say but when a celebrity is in a bad mood, has a bad day or is in the middle of an alcohol and hookers spree in Las Vegas, the public doesn't care or believe the well-rehearsed apology interview a publicist has them do the next day. The public loves to see a crack in Hollywood's perfect, shiny veneer because no matter how bad any of them has it, they still don't have to fly coach. So we relish the moments when they seem every bit as human and as flawed as us, like these 15 celebrities who completely lost it on air and made their publicist work overtime.
15 RIGGED! Faith Hill Loses To Underwood
Oh award shows. Or in layman's terms, one big celebrity love fest that's nationally televised. Talented, pretty people giving awards to other talented, pretty people doesn't sound like something anyone would purposely watch and yet we do. The public loves it so much, they even watch pre-award shows where Ryan Seacrest kisses every famous person's ass on the red carpet for a few hours. As superficial and pointless as it is, sometimes staring at pretty people on TV gives your eyeballs the eye candy it deserves, after spending all day looking at normal, non-exfoliated, people. But also, some of us really like to watch the awards for unscripted moments between celebrities. And deep down, the producers know the audience is starving for this, which is why they invented the cameras that focus on each nominee's face as the winner is announced. When someone else wins, can they really be all that good of a sport? What's really going on inside their head when they don't win the award? Thanks to this video of Faith Hill's reaction after Carrie Underwood won, we won't have to wonder about that anymore.
14 Anderson Cooper Gets Pissy
Anderson Cooper is well known for being one of the most put-together journalists out there. Intelligent and good-looking, he's the Chris Hemsworth of network news...only he's a Vanderbilt. Anderson just has an air about him that says whatever you do, he'll do it much cooler than you, and that even includes getting his boxer briefs in a bunch. In this coming election, the public has recently discovered Anderson's trigger word is "Trump." This clip shows Anderson going from level-headed, Yale graduate, respected broadcast journalist to some drunk guy getting into someone's face at a bar. Watch the transformation happen as Andy Dean tries to clarify Trump's stance on Muslims. Anderson aggressively starts questioning-slash-mocking Andy on his experience overseas to the point that the guy can't even answer his question without Anderson spitting off another biting question rather than discuss the topic at hand. The eyes get beady and the tone gets bitchy in such a diva-esque way, you can't help but wonder if somehow Nene Leaks from Real Housewives of Atlanta took over Anderson's body.
13 Judge Goes Off on Pompous Law Student
Marilyn Milian has been The People's Court judge for over twelve and a half seasons making her the longest presiding arbitrator on the series. Her name is synonymous with the show just like Judge Wapner was in the 80s. Viewers of People's Court have seen Judge Milian lost her temper many times in court, but by far one of the best times is when she schooled a wanna-be lawyer on how shit gets done in her court. Milian is a former Florida State Circuit Court Judge and when junior tries to get lippy with her, Milian shuts him down and reminds the little boy that she's not the one. The guy's Doogie Howser looking face eats its own pompous smirk when Judge Milian had a few words for him. His face looking more and more terrified the louder the Milian got. We're pretty sure that guy left there with his ego ripped to shreds and his pants ruined from the turd he crapped in his pants while he was getting yelled at. Milian should not be messed with in the courtroom, especially if you still look like a 12-year-old playing lawyer in your daddy's ill-fitting suit.
12 Paula Abdul Is A Happy Drunk
As we all know, there are many different phases of being drunk. There's a slightly tipsy drunk, the "I love everybody drunk," the philosophical drunk, and "I'm going to take a piss in this water fountain drunk." But in the celebrity world, there's another type of drunk that only people like Paula Abdul can attain. While it's common for celebrities to be shown on TMZ stumbling out of a club, drunk and out of it, it is pretty uncommon to show up drunk during interviews. That's a whole other level of celebrity drunk that Paula Abdul did masterfully during a press junket for American Idol where she had to do interviews with several radio stations and local newscasts. Thankfully, Paula is a happy AF drunk who gave hilarious, sometimes nonsensical answers to their boring questions. In those wonderful moments, Paula became everybody's fun, drunken aunt who laughs at her own dick jokes at the Thanksgiving table.
11 Naomi Campbell > Everyone Else
You know who doesn't give a shit about your problems? Naomi Campbell. You know what level you're not on TYRA? Naomi Campbell's level. You know whom Naomi Campbell has time for aside for Naomi Campbell? NO ONE. Here weapon of choice? Shade, side-eyes, cell phones, and exasperated sighs. Naomi Campbell is already annoyed with people she hasn't even met. Naomi Campbell is well known for having the reputation of someone who's always on the edge of biting your head off or at the very least, physically assaulting you with her Samsung Galaxy. In fact, there's actually so much footage of Naomi Campbell losing her shit all over poor innocent souls who dared cross her path that picking one moment became Sophie's Choice and proved to be impossible. So thankfully, some enlightened soul on the Internet put together a montage of Naomi's best tantrums and rants. I think we can all agree that when it comes to losing their shit, Naomi does it best.
10 Casey Kasem (?!?)
Casey Kasem was a precious relic from radio's past when voices were rich and always sounded a little "Shatner-y." He was probably best known for counting down the hits on the radio for American Top 40. Casey Kasem's voice was as delicious and comforting like hot chocolate and a fleece blanket. It was a voice that belonged to a nice guy. The kind of guy that would help an old lady across the street, a neighbor who'd offer you a cold beer on a hot day, a Panda Express employee that everyone is glad to see making their order because you know that guy always piles on the orange chicken. But this voice also belongs to a frustrated radio celebrity who goes off on a tirade about up-tempo songs and dead dogs. But in true Casey Kasem style, every bad word is clearly enunciated in such a pleasant tone that makes you want to egg him on just so he'd keep yelling.
9 Meatloaf Vs. Busey
Leave it to celebrities to turn an innocent senior moment into pure entertainment. I don't know much about this clip except that it's obviously from a reality show I'm now kind of bummed I didn't DVR. If they had just aired this scene as a promo for the show, I would have been sold because any show that has Gary Busey and Meatloaf FIGHTING OVER PAINT AS SUGAR RAY REFEREES is clearly a damn great show. It starts off with them all in a room with easels and paint like they're having craft night for senior citizens at Home Depot. Meatloaf can't seem to find his bag of paints and somehow, he gets it in his head that Gary Busey took his bag of paint. Now most people in this situation would start their tirade with the standard, "Hey you pulled pork looking m*****f*****, give me back my paint!" But not Meatloaf! Meatloaf blows his top with a loud, "Okay!" like a cheerleader reject, before spouting off death threats to Gary Busey (again, over PAINT). The geriatric showdown stops as fast as it started when someone finds Meatloaf's bag of paint on the floor. #wompwompwomp
8 Mike Tyson Goes Off
https://youtu.be/9KsCs2D9ZOw?t=1m5s
You ever watch one of those National Geographic shows when a lion is about to take down the prey. They focus on who they're about to kill with steely cold eyes. There's no emotion in them. It's just blank and black with killer instinct. It's fascinating and terrifying at the same time and even though you know that lion needs to eat, you also can't help but feel sorry for the poor deer it's about to take down. Oddly enough, I got that very same feeling when I watched this video of Mike Tyson in an interview that almost turned into a National Geographic situation. The interview was done between Mike Tyson and his agent promoting some show. All hell breaks loose when the interviewer casually describes Tyson as a "convicted rapist" in the middle of the conversation. Mike goes off in that adorable toddler voice of his that wouldn't be threatening in the very least had it not been coming out of a man whose tattooed eyes scream "I'm two seconds away from biting your ear off motherf*@ker."
7 Baldwin Blows Up
Just like Naomi, her male equivalent, Alec Baldwin, has no time for anyone's s**t. Baldwin especially has no time for paparazzi getting close to his wife and baby. It seems a reasonable request until that request comes out of unshaven, bed-head havin', Alec Baldwin. Alec Baldwin is every news show's wet dream because he gives them just enough material to blow out of proportion when they run out of news stories. Watch the feigned shock disguise the newscaster's absolute glee as they report on another Baldwin tirade that's been caught on camera. It's slightly more fascinating to watch than Alec. While we agree that Alec Baldwin's use of an offensive gay slur is reprehensible, the fact that he wants the paparazzi swarm to lay off his wife and baby when they're outside made his "crazy" behavior seem more like a reasonable reaction and not at all as crazy as the newscasters who don't understand why he's angry in the first place.
6 Bale Is Done With You! Professionally.
We know, we know - technically this wasn't a tirade that was on air meltdown for Bale but come on. Did you really think we would make a list of celebrities losing it and NOT write about Bale? Since audio of Christian Bale going off on someone from the set of Batman came out a few years ago, it's been immortalized as a song and created tons of classic sound bites that were just perfect to use for your cell phone notifications. Bale is the unlikely champion of the meltdowns with big time loose cannons like Alec Baldwin and Charlie Sheen on this list. But if celebrities going insane was a horse race, the Bale meltdown is the Seabiscuit of meltdowns. It came out of nowhere and dominated the competition with expletives shouted loud and shrill, peppered with condescending questions and pretentious insults. Legend has it that four-minute bitch fit has enough hatred to light up a small village in Calcutta for one month.
5 "We Were All Rooting For You!" (to cry)
America's Next Top Model was on for a whopping 23 SEASONS. It was hands down the slowest moving train wreck in television history. What started off as a model competition with runway challenges and photo shoots morphed into something resembling a Japanese game show with models dodging faux wrecking balls as they walked on the runway, dreadlock head shaving makeovers, and tongue kissing a snake for photo shoots. Over the years the judges ranged from crazy (Janice Dickenson), to calm (Twiggy) to everything in between. But by far, no one was as crazy as the head diva of the show, Tyra Banks. ANTM was Tyra's kingdom and she couldn't get enough of the new models gushing over her, begging for her approval and having them on the edge of their seats every time she said "For the very first time in Top Model History ..." Eliminations were Tyra's climax, as each girl who got booted would tearfully thank her for the "opportunity." Except Tiffany that is, whose nonchalant response to being eliminated prompted this insane scene where Tyra yells at Tiffany until she was in tears like all the other girls.
4 Tom Cruise Malfunctions On Oprah
https://youtu.be/RiVRd3muZsA
There were a lot of memorable moments that happened in 2005. But none of those events were as magical as when Tom Cruise went on Oprah and lost his ever-loving mind. If you're old enough to have remembered Tom Cruise pre-2005, you'll know this was an especially momentous event because prior to this, Tom Cruise was Hollywood's leading man. Every movie this man was in was a hit, he was the epitome of A-List celebrity and, prior to this Oprah interview, Tom Cruise always came across as smooth and polished as his public image. But then 2005 came, Tom Cruise went on a press junket to promote his new movie, War of the Worlds, but ended up being a press junket of how in love he was with Katie Holmes. Listen, I get it. I've been in love before and in the beginning, you really do want to jump on couches and scream excitedly at Oprah's and all that adorable shit, but somehow when Tom did it, it reeked with insincerity and got downright creepy slash hostage-y when he dragged Katie out to parade in front of Oprah's audience.
3 Tom Just Can't With Matt Lauer's Glib
We can only guess that somehow, some way, Tom's publicist must have been tied up in a Scientologist's basement in 2005 because the Tom Cruise Crazy Train Tour that year didn't end on Oprah's couch. It also made a stop on the Today show and practically ran Matt Lauer's head over. Somehow, the interview lead to a discussion about psychiatry and drugs, with Tom vehemently defending his stance against psychiatry. The conversation takes a turn for the awkward when Matt Lauer makes it personal and passive aggressively challenges Tom Cruise's stance by bringing up Tom's good friend, Brooke Shields experience with using prescription drugs and psychiatry to combat postpartum depression. While Tom doesn't completely lose his temper in Bale fashion, it was at this moment when the world knew that we had entered a new era of Tom Cruise. A Tom Cruise who unapologetically called Matt "glib" on morning television as he pointed his quivering bicep at him. Had the interview gone on any longer, the Mike Tyson look in Tom's eyes says Matt was just a few moments away from being sacrificed to the Xenu.
2 Charlie Sheen Made It So
How much crazy is in this video? Let us count the #winnings. If Tom Cruise's normal days are but a distant memory to most of us, Charlie Sheen's normal days seem almost non-existent. The public has always known that Charlie Sheen was a fan of drugs, drinking, violence, and women but it was all just side news on TMZ until 2012 when Charlie Sheen got fired from his hit sitcom, Two and a Half Men, after the show told him to clean up his act. Charlie went to "war" with CBS and started calling in to radio stations to speak his mind. This particular interview with the Today shows Sheen acting a little spastic as he explains that he's clean and that he sobered up by staying at Sober Valley Lodge (his house) and using the power of his mind. It's hard to take him seriously because he looks like a Halloween costume of his former self. And even if Sheen is clean in this interview, I think we can all agree that, sober or not, what Charlie Sheen really needed to do was cozy up with a big ol' bong before he went on camera. #calmdownbrah
1 1.Kanye's "Impactful" Tantrum
https://youtu.be/kqPGImLF0m0
Four seconds into this video Kanye screams that he is "Warhol!" and that he's "Shakespeare in the flesh!" So you know this is going to be the start of a rant that only Kanye West could do and this video doesn't disappoint. It's a mess from beginning to end. While he's shouting his superiority, he's also simultaneously begging for someone to finance his genius. Sway calls him on his bullshit and Kanye West proceeds to throw a tantrum like a 3-year-old who missed his nap and just crapped himself. He gets loud, he gets irrational, and in a few instances, he looks like he's about to cry. Kanye screams and interrupts Sway until it looked like Sway was going to lose his temper and unleash the kraken from under his hat. Kanye starts using his inside voice again but continues to try to clue in Sway and the other mortals around him on what life is like for someone who's on a higher level than all of us.

COCKTAILS & CONVERSATIONS! Hennessy BDM for Africa & Middle East Benny Smith interacts With Media
by Eugene Nyavor April 14, 2019, 9:14 am
Hennessy Brand Ambassador and Business Development Manager for Africa and the Middle East, Benny Smith, has held a successful meet and greet with local media on the brand's unique history and culture.
Held at The container in Nyaniba, Osu, it was an intimate celebration of a truly global brand that is Hennessy.
Smith presented to a select core of media persons the variants that make the Hennessy range uniquely golden while providing some insight into how far the brand has travelled.
Hennessy is a brandy distiller with its headquarters located in Cognac, France. Hennessy sells about 50 million bottles a year worldwide, or more than 40 percent of the world's cognac, making it the largest cognac producer.
Hennessy has been in Africa since 1866 and in that year of its inception was when its first shipment was made to Africa.
Touting Ghana as one of its most treasured markets Smith said Hennessy intends to consolidate the gains while focusing on satisfying its customers.
"Ghanaians are accepting cocktail and it's currently the fastest mixing drink in Ghana, So Hennessy has put in place some measures to reach out to our customers through the bartenders. We have met with a lot of Bartenders and it will amaze you the skills they have."
Smith called on Bartenders to be extremely creative to shore up interest and also for consumers to discover the impressive blends that can be created with Hennessy.
Hennessy is a global brand of good repute. It is mentioned in hundreds of hip-hop songs including "KC Tea" (2010) by Tech N9ne, "Hennessey" (2004) by 2Pac, "Hennesey N Buddah" (2000), by Snoop Dogg and "Love Scars" by Trippie Redd. It was also mentioned in the opening verse of Korean girl group Blackpink's debut song, "Boombayah" as well as Digital Underground's "The Humpty Dance".
The cognac was notably mentioned in the chorus of the Drake single "One Dance" (2016), in which the rapper references having a Hennessy in his hand. The song saw immense global popularity and reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 that year. Hennessy is also mentioned in Blackbear' song "Moodz" featuring 24 Hours and in Jenny Lewis' song "Red Bull & Hennessy".

The documentation of the Holocaust (avant la lettre) started in Hungary practically as soon as the war had ended and it took various major forms. The documentation project pursued by the Committee for the Investigation of Nazi and Arrow Cross Atrocities (A náci és nyilas rémtetteket vizsgáló bizottság) were among the most important Hungarian state-based forms of Holocaust documentation. Within days of the liberation of Budapest in February, 1945, the National Committee of Budapest decided to establish this Committee for the Investigation of Nazi and Arrow Cross Atrocities with the aim of making the horrible recent atrocities known as widely as possible. The Committee was to create around twelve thousand files based on the accounts of survivors of persecution and other eyewitnesses. The Committee was also responsible for several other tasks such as the exhumation of victims in unmarked mass graves and providing them with decent burials that also contributed to its project of investigation and documentation.

Martha's self-portrait. Click here to see more of Martha's paintings.
Only days after turning fifty, my wife Martha was blindsided with news that she has Alzheimer's disease. We felt as though we were shoved out of a plane 10,000 feet up, without parachutes. Until then Martha had been a spirited mother and a civic activist. I published a regional business magazine. Our lives would never be the same.
At the time, in 1997, less than one percent of those diagnosed with Alzheimer's were under age sixty-five. Why was Martha? That was just the first of a blizzard of questions that weighed heavily on Martha and me. What causes Alzheimer's was not known then. It still isn't. And modern medicine still has no cure.
Our story is one of shock, grief, and pain over what doctors say is a degenerative, irreversible disease. And of our anguish over an uncertain future – for Martha as victim, for me as caregiver, and for our three young children.
But as described in my book--A Path Revealed: How Hope, Love, and Joy Found Us Deep in a Maze Called Alzheimer's--I came to realize our story is not about a grim disease and its insidious movement. Nor in its darkest moments is our story about hopelessness.
Our story is about a path that emerged in the darkest of hours, a path that for us was neither planned nor foreseen. It's the story about the inner struggles and insights that emerged when I was compelled to lead Martha and our children through this life-altering quandary. At the suggestion of a Protestant minister and friend, our search began when Martha and I visited a Catholic nun and a monk in the hills and back roads of Kentucky. In my scramble for answers, I devoured scores of medical and spiritual books; flew halfway around the world to Sydney and back; spent dozens of weekends at a nearby monastery; and landed all alone one week in Thomas Merton's cabin.
My name is Carlen Maddux, and I am by training, career, and instinct a journalist and editor. The only way I know to share this most intimate journey is to bring a journalist's eye and style to a story that's filled with spiritual breakthroughs, fears, failures, heart-warming encounters, and thought-provoking revelations. Sixteen years later, this path continues to unfold.


"Persistent" and "Keep Moving Forward" is what John shared with Fit1 when we asked him about his routine at the gym. John attends mat Pilates and Zumba classes twice a week and uses the Cybex equipment to strength train. He has been a member of Auburn Fit1 since December of 2012!
John is a retired special education school teacher and has a passion for restoring cars.

Its good news guys. Announced today. We have Lockdown PC screenshots, and a whole load of information.
Most importantly, the 747 map is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is the Lockdown PC version a port from Lockdown console?
No, Lockdown PC is not a port from the console version. We have been hard at work creating PC specific features, modified mission structure, with enhanced graphics, improved AI behaviors, and new combat model to give the player more flexibility in approaching challenges. We have done everything we can to ensure that this PC title is a unique and engaging game all its own.
Read the whole of that link anyway there is tons of info on there. This really will put aside ANY and EVERY doubt you might have had about this game. It really sounds like exactly our kind of game, better than SWAT4 even, provided they live up to their promises. It is starting to sound like a sequel that does huge justice to RvS.
Lazer Trip Wire Mines.... aka Booby Traps.... Sweet!
Looking forward to that game for sure.
Someone is using a rpg. I can't tell who, has a normal cap on, the Rainbow Six Launch Trailer, about 1 min 28 secs into video.
Great news! now we just have to zZzzZzzzZZz wait.
Noah ... OMG you have got to be kidding, 747 is out TOMORROW??
Wow. If only I could do a live-op on it before everybody downloads it.
"Customize your weapon to suit your style of play: Silencers, Scopes, red-dot sights, hi-cap magazines"--> Nice.
"Secondary shotguns"--> Shotgun breach like the real SAS would be nice. One in the hinges, one in the lock :P.
"Laser Trip Mines, Virus grenades"--> Interesting.
I'm going to buy this game immediately, when it's released :).
I split out the door breaching discussion and put it in Tactics Forum. Lets keep this topic for dribbling over RS4.
oh, and RS 4, of course.
I geuss we will have to keep on topic now when we post, don't want to over work him by doing our jobs as posters.
For the hell of it, I am going to complain.
Sounds a bit arcady to me.
Did the 747 map come thru. I can't find it.
ok, ill ask it, what are virus grenades?
Nerve gas here we go!!!!
Maybe the gas(?) is lethal or something.
MUSTARD GAS, GET OUT OF THE OUT HOUSE.
An Update and a dilemma all in one.
failing that trade in a old pc game and get a few quid off of gr3 or rs:lockdown. if my comp can run them i`ll get them both.
Umm, amazon still says 24 Feb. I have no idea which is correct, if either.
Considering that inless things in my life change, I'll be getting it in June next year if it comes out in Feb of 06. Probaby good, b/c I'm going to rely on yall (my teammates) for weather the game is worth buying or pee'ing on. Before I choose GR3 or RS6 4LD.

Marlins vs. Braves, 10/6/20 Game 1 NL Divisional MLB Playoff Predictions
By Matt Cash
Marlins vs. Braves Game 1 Prediction
After holding the Reds scoreless in the NL Wild Card Series, the Braves will look to silence the underdog Marlins in Game 1 on Tuesday when the division rivals meet at 2:08 p.m. ET. Does Miami have another upset win in them today?
909 Miami Marlins (+180) at 910 Atlanta Braves (-200); o/u 8
2:08 p.m. ET, Tuesday, October 6, 2020
Minute Maid Park, Houston, TX
TV: FS1
Miami Marlins DFS Spin
The Marlins haven't decided whether to include Starling Marte (hand) on their roster for the NLDS. Marlins manager Don Mattingly said they'll likely wait until the last minute before making a decision. Marte suffered a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metacarpal on his left hand when he was hit by a pitch in Game 1 of the Marlins' Wild Card Series against the Cubs last Wednesday. Odds are he'll have a diminished role even if he's included on the roster.
Atlanta Braves DFS Spin
Max Fried will start Game 1 of the NLDS against the Marlins on Tuesday. That was the expectation already, but it's now official. Fried tossed seven scoreless innings in his Game 1 start during the Wild Card Series against the Reds last Wednesday, so he'll be pitching on normal rest. He'll be followed by Ian Anderson in Game 2 on Wednesday and Kyle Wright in Game 3 on Thursday.
Marlins vs. Braves Game 1 Betting Prediction
The under is 12-3-2 in the last 17 meetings between these two teams in Atlanta and is 7-1 in the Marlins' last eight playoff games. The under has also hit in five of the Marlins' last six games overall, is 7-1 in their last eight postseason games as an underdog and is a perfect 5-0 in their last five games when playing Game 1 of a series. On the other side, the under is 5-2 in the Braves' last seven playoff games when favored and is 7-3 in their last 10 games when facing an opponent with a winning record.
