Students Rock Geology Competition
Emma Penrod
BYU can add geophysics to the list of areas bringing the university international fame, thanks to two geology students who took an international competition by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists by storm.
Matthew Davis, a BYU master's candidate studying geology, and Forrest Roberts, who is now a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin, won first place in the Society of Exploration Geophysicists International Challenge Bowl in September. The win made them the first team from BYU to win the international competition and the first from BYU to qualify to participate in the Challenge Bowl.
The team was one of 10 that earned an all-expense paid trip to take part in the competition. Davis and Roberts qualified by winning a similar geophysics contest while attending a conference in Denver, which they entered with the rest of a geology class both were taking at BYU.
The competition, which awarded points to the team that buzzed in and correctly answered questions about physics, geology and general science, was broken into three rounds. BYU's team got off to an early lead during the first round — a good thing, according to Davis, who said he didn't want to disappoint the enthusiastic professor who had decorated their team's table with BYU paraphernalia, and by the time the second round was over, Davis and Roberts had garnered more points than the other three remaining teams combined.
"We just slaughtered everybody," Davis said. "It was terrible."
In the final round, BYU went head to head with a team from Nigeria, and came out victorious with a margin of 210-140. The results were entirely unexpected, Davis said, and what made the victory even more unlikely was that BYU doesn't have a specific program for geophysics. Nonetheless, he said it was his strong background in geology that likely gave his team the winning edge.
For winning the competition, Davis and Roberts received $1,000 in prize money and the opportunity to interview with recruiters from Exxon.

A's Rangers August Schedule Comparison
By Andrew Brown
Going into the month of August the A's held a 3.5 game lead over the Texas Rangers in the AL West. Oakland has struggled out of the gates since the All Star break and with the Rangers playing well recently the lead in the division is now gone. With the AL West seemingly becoming a two-team race the last two months of the season will be vital to determining the division winner. Here's a look at both the A's and Rangers schedule for the rest of August and compare the two.
Aug 3, 2013; Oakland, CA, USA; Texas Rangers outfielder
(2) is unable to make a catch after losing track of the ball on a double by Oakland Athletics infielder
(37) in the sixth inning at O.Co Coliseum. The Athletics defeated the Rangers 4-2. Mandatory Credit: Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports
A's:
@ Toronto Blue Jays 4 games Aug. 9-12
Houston Astros 3 games Aug. 13-15
Cleveland Indians 3 games Aug. 16-18
Seattle Mariners 3 games Aug. 19-21
@ Baltimore Orioles 3 games Aug. 23-25
@ Detroit Tigers 4 games Aug. 26-29
Tampa Bay Rays 3 games Aug. 30- Sep. 1
@ Houston Astros 4 games Aug. 9-12
Milwaukee Brewers 2 games Aug. 13-14
@ Chicago White Sox 3 games Aug. 23-25
@ Seattle Mariners 3 games Aug. 26-28
Minnesota Twins 3 games Aug. 30- Sep. 1
A few things stick out when comparing the schedules. For starters, The Rangers have an incredibly easier schedule for the rest of the month of August than the A's do. Every team the Rangers play for the rest of the month is below .500 with the closest team t0 .500 out of the bunch is the Seattle Mariners at 8 games under. Even with the Rangers loss of Nelson Cruz this should end up being a successful month for a team as good as Texas.
The A's on the other hand have a horrid schedule. With 3 games against the Houston Astros being the only saving grace the month of August will seriously test a struggling A's team. With games against teams who play well against them (Toronto, Seattle, Cleveland, Baltimore, Detroit, Tampa) the month of August might turn out to be make or break month for the Green and Gold.
The one thing that could turn into a positive for the A's is the fact that they only have one more day off in August as compared to Texas' three days off. If the A's can find their groove again those extra two games could prove vital to taking the lead in the AL West back. This also means that both teams will play the same amount of games in September making each day more suspenseful.
If the A's want to make it back to the postseason again this year they will have to win every series for the rest of the month. That seems like an uphill climb, but it is necessary considering the Rangers relatively easy schedule. This will be a tough task for a team who can't seem to get it together currently, but news of a possible Sonny Gray start has to have some players excited.

The Greedy Pinstripes: Why Are We All Surprised That Dellin Betances is Struggling?
Why Are We All Surprised That Dellin Betances is Struggling?
Dellin, nobody said playing in New York was going to be easy and boy it hasn't been for the Yankees right-handed reliever. Dellin exited Yankee Stadium to some of the loudest boos I think I have ever heard inside the new Yankee Stadium on Monday night after helping load the bases in the eighth inning against the Minnesota Twins. Aroldis Chapman got out of trouble after relieving Betances and the Yankees won the game, which is all great, but I would rather focus on another issue. Betances is struggling here during the month of September and I am just left sitting here wondering why anyone is really surprised that this is happening.
Sure, Betances loaded the bases because of walks and hit batters and not because the Twins were squaring him up which is encouraging but this is just another season with a September collapse for Betances. Betances has a career 4.53 ERA in the month of September throughout his career, and that is including Chapman's bailout which could have made that number skyrocket with three inherited runners, and the right-hander also has an 8.10 ERA here in September of 2017. Stats and history suggest that Betances should be getting better going forward, he almost has to at this point, and Betances has to if the Yankees want to not only make the postseason but go far in the playoffs as well. Betances is going to have to stop making excuses and people like Joe Girardi are going to have to stop making excuses for him. He is fatigued like he is fatigued every single season and that's on Girardi, not on Betances. Fix it, or fix the problem by removing the manager. Period.
Before you say something along the lines of "Betances is on pace for his lowest innings total and appearance totals in four years" let's remember that Betances is pitching in high stress innings. Betances has closed, set up and been the fireman for the Yankees all season long. Betances has been that guy for the Yankees basically since he came through the farm system and inserted himself into Joe Girardi's bullpen. Three stress-free innings are probably equal to one stressful inning here in major League Baseball and it feels like Betances has had nothing but stressful innings, some he created and some he has not, all season long.
Betances is over 300 innings pitched now as a relief pitcher and they have all been pretty hard innings for the right-hander. Every single season Betances comes out strong like a strikeout machine only to fizzle out in September and into October so why are we surprised that it is happening again here in 2017? I'm not and you shouldn't be either. This is almost in the "Mark Teixeira is a slow starter" neighborhood, it's becoming that much of a common place here in the latter parts of the season. How do you fix it or prevent it? That I don't know, that's why the Yankees pay good money for pitching coaches and managers and that's why they aren't paying me. All I know is the team needs to fix it and needs to fix it now or the team may struggle to get past the AL Wild Card Game once again, just like in 2015 when Betances struggled.

Identity theft may seem like a faraway possibility, but the truth of the matter is it's a chronic problem, and its getting worse. In 2018, Javelin published an Identity Fraud Report which stated that identity fraud led to criminals obtaining 16.8 billion dollars in 2017. Furthermore, it was stated that 17 million Americans experienced identity fraud in the year 2017, which in addition to just being a generally huge number, is an 8 percent increase from the year 2016. Of course, many of those data breaches happened online, but it is also important that identity theft can, and often does, occur via document/paper mail breach. So what are ways in which people might receive confidential info about your via your paper or mail?
Credit card offers are one notorious way by which identity thieves may steal your precious information. Things to look for in terms of suspicious credit card offers you may receive in your mail include: preprinted application forms (especially if these forms contain sensitive information like your name, address, or date of birth), things that tell you you have been pre-approved for a certain card (unfortunately it's never that easy) and more.
Charitable solicitations may also want your information. If they are sending you mailing after mailing, it's probably for a reason. This could be that you were identified as a prospective donor. Either way, you want to make sure they do not obtain too much of your personal information.
Bills and bank account statements are another way by which criminals may steal your personal, financial information. Thieves can easily steal phone, cable or utility bills from your mailbox- these gave them access to your account number, address and name- which is a lot of info in the hands of a criminal. Furthermore, they can steal a bank account right from your mailbox, which will give them account info, often enough to start another account with your information.
Membership offers are a sneaky way by which people may steal your identity. Group that send you mail that know a lot about you are especially dangerous. If these documents have your name, address, age or other details, it may be particularly useful to identity thieves.
Tax documents and blank checks are two other forms by which identity thieves could perhaps steal from you.
If you want to avoid identity theft, be smart and make sure you are cautious with the paper mail options listed above. Make sure they are protected or best of all, shredded. Contact Shred With Us to create a document destruction plan that includes paper documents and mail. We will have your sensitive information shredded ASAP, so you can rest assured!

Inside Team Calzaghe
Inside Sport: In the gym with Calzaghe
By Nabil Hassan
Joe Calzaghe with father and trainer Enzo
As Joe Calzaghe prepares for the biggest fight of his career against Mikkel Kessler, BBC Sport takes a look inside the Calzaghe stable.
His father Enzo Calzaghe is establishing himself as one of the great trainers of our generation.
While Brendan Ingle and his Sheffield gym previously dominated with talent such as Prince Naseem Hamed, Johnny Nelson and Herol 'Bomber' Graham, Calzaghe senior is taking things to the next level.
His gym in Newbridge, a small valleys town in south Wales, can already boast three world champions with many more set to follow.
While Joe Calzaghe will grab all the headlines with Saturday's unification bout at the Millennium Stadium, there will be several other boxers on the undercard who train under Enzo's stewardship.
ENZO MACCARINELLI
One man who can also boast world champion status is WBO cruiserweight champion Enzo 'Big Macc' Maccarinelli.
Enzo Maccarinelli holds the WBO cruiserweight belt
The big-punching west Walian joined the Calzaghe gym last year and is being tipped to dominate his division over the next few years.
The 27-year-old has impressive stats and has 27 careers fights, winning 20 by knockout and losing just once, to Lee Swaby eight years ago.
Maccarinelli is famed for his big left hook and faces Mohamed Azzaoui at the Millennium Stadium on the undercard of the Calzaghe/Kessler bill.
GAVIN REES
The third world champion at the gym is WBA light welterweight champion Gavin 'The Rock' Rees.
Gavin Rees is the WBA light welterweight champion
The 27-year-old has had an indifferent career, and was banned for a year by the boxing commission after being involved in a fight at a funeral.
But under no-nonsense trainer Enzo, Rees has turned his career and his life around.
After an impressive points victory over Billy Smith at the Millennium Stadium earlier in the year, Rees was given a crack at the WBA light welterweight title.
And the Newbridge man took his chance with both hands defeating Souleymane M'baye to claim the title.
Rees is now undefeated in 27 fights, winning 13 of those by way of knockout and is now starting to show why he was rated so highly as a youngster.
WBU middleweight champion Gary 'The Rocket' Lockett is another who joined the Calzaghe gym late in his career, teaming up with Enzo in 2006.
Gary Lockett is the WBU middleweight champion
The 30-year-old claimed the WBU title after knocking out Gilbert Eastman at the Newport centre last year and has only lost once in a 29-fight career.
With Lockett approaching the sunset of his career the Welshman is keen to add to his WBU title by adding one of the more recognised WBC, WBA or WBO titles.
And if he continues to show the sort of form which saw him knock out Lee Blundell in three rounds then a shot at the big time may not be that far off.
BRADLEY PRYCE
Bradley 'Sugar Sweet' Pryce is another man due a shot at a world title.
The Commonwealth light middleweight champion has been in sparkling form after turning his career around in the last two years.
Bradley Pryce is the Commonwealth light middleweight champion
In 2003 Pryce received 200 hours community service and was ordered to pay £500 compensation for attacking his girlfriend, and that incident proved to be changing point in his life.
Again under the guidance of Enzo Calzaghe, Pryce has dedicated his life to his boxing and his two children and is on course for a crack at a world title.
Since winning his title in 2006 against Ossie Duran he has made five defences, recently beating Martin Concepcion inside three rounds, and ending the fight with a brutal left hook.
Pryce is due to defend his title again on the Calzaghe/Kessler bill and an equally impressive performance will surely see him just one fight away from the world-title shot he craves.
NATHAN CLEVERLEY
With Joe Calzaghe only a few fights away from retirement, the man being tipped to replace him and dominate the super middleweight division is Nathan Cleverley.
Cleverly's record is quite simple. Ten fights, 10 wins.
Nathan Cleverley is tipped for super middleweight success
His record may not take a mathematician to work out, but if it did Cleverley is well qualified to do so.
The 20-year-old is currently studying for a maths degree at Cardiff University and has claimed he wants to be "a breath of fresh air" to the sport.
And while his work outside the ring is important to the Welshman, it is his work inside it that is making people sit up and take note.
So much so that Joe Calzaghe has already described him as his protegee.
He trains and spars with Calzaghe and under the guidance of Enzo is in line for big things.
KERRY HOPE
Merthyr Tydfil's Kerry Hope is another young boxer from the Calzaghe stable tipped for big things.
Middleweight Kerry Hope is unbeaten in 10 fights
Hope has a similar record to Cleverley. Ten fights and 10 wins in the middleweight division tells its own story.
He was a top amateur boxer as a youngster and looks to be carrying his ability into the professional arena.
Hope is also expected to appear on the Calzaghe/Kessler undercard as he continues his progress under the stewardship of Enzo.
And finally... Joe 'The Italian Dragon' Calzaghe.
Calzaghe, the WBO super middleweight champion, faces Mikkel Kessler at the Millennium Stadium on 3 November in a unification fight of titanic proportions.
The fights is set to be Calzaghe's hardest and probably one of his last as he looks to secure his legacy as an undefeated world champion.
Joe Calzaghe is the longest reigning world champion
His record speaks for itself, 43 fights, 43 wins and his record is well documented.
No-one who saw his demolition of Jeff Lacy will ever forget that night, a fight which turned out to be career defining for the 'Pride of Wales.'
Joe is probably only a couple of fights away from retirement and the Welshman is desperate to secure his legacy as one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world.
Equally as important to Calzaghe will be remaining undefeated throughout his career.
Mikkel Kessler provides the latest test for Calzaghe, a unification fight of titanic proportions.
Victory on Saturday will surely secure Calzaghe's legacy and ensure he takes his place among the very greatest boxers of all time.
ENZO CALZAGHE
While the reason for Calzaghe junior's success may well be his extraordinary natural talent, that ability would not have reached anywhere near its potential had it not been for coaching skills of his father Enzo... just ask Maccarinelli, Rees, Lockett, Pryce, Cleverley and Hope.
Not many trainers can boast of training three world champions and one Commonwealth champion - Enzo Calzaghe can.
Joe Calzaghe often talks about how his father has guided him throughout his career and even talked him out of withdrawing from the Lacy fight because of an injured hand.
Calzaghe decided to fight, and the rest is history.
The emergence of Maccarinelli, Pryce, Rees and co, is finally seeing people sit up and take notice of the small gym in Newbridge that Enzo Calzaghe runs.
Many people saw his success with son Joe as a fluke, a one-off. But you can only be lucky so many times.
It is no coincidence that some of the most exciting and promising boxers are all fighting out of the same gym in south Wales.
It is down to one man, and one man only... Enzo Calzaghe.

(hennemusic) A bat used by Jack White in a charity baseball game outside Cooperstown, NY has been inducted into the Baseball Hall Of Fame. In town to perform a concert at the city's Brewery Ommegang on May 27 as part of a North American tour in support of his latest album "Boarding House Reach", White - co-owner of the bat company Warstick - played a sandlot game with the Warstick Woodman against the local Leatherstocking All Stars.
"In attendance was the President of the Baseball Hall Of Fame, Jeff Idelson, who watched as the Warstic Woodmen continued their undefeated streak," said Warstick in a press release. "After the game, he personally requested that the Jack White's game-used Warstic bat be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame."
To commemorate the historic occasion, Warstick produced 50 limited edition replicas of the bat personally signed by Jack White and individually numbered; they were recently auctioned online, with total proceeds exceeding $32,000. Read more here.

10 Common English Mistakes that People Make
Article by Sapna Sharma, July 28, 2014
English is a hard language to learn. The lack of clear rules for grammar and spelling leave even the best of us stumped. Because seriously, WHY is there a 'g' in daughter? However, I sometimes display Grammar Nazi-like tendencies. Bad grammar and incorrect English annoy me a little. A lot. So I have compiled this list of top ten mistakes that a lot of people make, mistakes that are especially annoying to me and to a lot of other grammar snobs. Take a look.
10- "I prefer tea from coffee"
The word 'from' in this sentence is incorrect. The correct way to frame this sentence would be 'I prefer tea to coffee.' In matters of preference, we always use the word 'to' for denoting our preference of xyz over abc. People often use sentences like 'I prefer this from that' or 'I prefer tea than coffee.' Both these sentences are incorrect. The word 'over' can also be used when there are two clear choices, like in this case.
9- Brought and Bought
Contrary to what most people think, there is actually a difference between the two words. Spell check can't fix this one. Bought is related to purchasing something. Brought simply means bringing something. For example-
'The guests brought a box of sweets for their hosts.' Here, the use of the word 'brought' is appropriate because there is no reference to the guests going to a sweet shop and purchasing the box. They bring a box of sweets for their hosts.
'I bought a new pair of heels for the party.' Here, the word 'bought' is correct because presumably I went to a shop purchased a new pair of heels.
8- "We speak like this only"
The unnecessary 'only' at the end of every sentence is another typically Indian trait. We have this habit of adding 'only' to the beginning, middle and conclusion of almost every sentence. 'I'll do it right away' becomes 'Just now only I will do it.' The word 'only' means 'one of a kind/ single/ unique.' The correct way to use this word is in sentence where it is actually needed, for example- "This is the only road that goes to Noida." The use of the word 'only' is not needed in sentences like 'I am going there only' which can easily convey the meaning without the unnecessary 'only'.
7- Literally
No. Your head did not just literally burst from all that noise. If it had actually, literally burst, you would have been long dead. Nobody can survive without a head. The word 'literally' refers to things that have really happened. What you mean to say is that your head figuratively exploded. 'Literally' is a word that refers to facts while figuratively is the correct word to use when you want to emphasize upon a point. Remember the memorable exchange between Penny's super dumb boyfriend and Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory. The one wherein the super dumb boyfriend says that he hasn't been to the comic book store in literally a million years, peeving Sheldon out. Yes, that is literally how peeved out most people get when they hear the incorrect usage of the word 'literally.' Also, this comic strip from cyanide and happiness is one of my all time favourites.
6- "I didn't had any idea"
The word 'didn't' is never followed by the past tense verb. This is another very common mistake that a lot of people make. It is also my pet peeve. Sentences like 'I didn't ate that last piece of cake' are incorrect. The correct format should instead be 'I didn't eat the last piece of cake.' Most people make this mistake probably because 'didn't' is a word in past tense and people assume that the verb following it should also be in the past tense. Like I said, English is a very complicated language.
5- Present Continuous Tense
We Indians have a particular affinity for speaking in the present continuous tense. How many times have you heard people say something like 'I am having a headache' or 'I am liking the movie a lot.' Wrong, completely wrong! Both these sentences should have been in the simple present tense 'I have a headache' and 'I like the movie a lot.' Why? Because English is a complicated language, that's why. Present continuous tense should be used only to describe an action that is happening even as you speak. Having a headache is a state, not an action. So widespread is the use of the present continuous tense in India that Nissim Ezekile was prompted to write a whole book of poems that makes use (and makes fun) of this style of speaking. Go read 'Very Indian Poems in Very Indian English' by the poet for a good laugh
4- To, Too and Two
'To' with a single 'O' refers to motion in a particular direction. For example- I am going to Germany next week. 'Too' with the double Os means 'also' or 'as well.' It is also used to emphasize upon something. For example- 'She can come with us too' or 'It is much too hot to study today.' 'Two' with the 'W' is the number that comes after one. For example- 'I had two chocolate bars after lunch.' Easy peasy.
3- Loose and Lose
People often get confused between these two words, especially writing 'loose' in place of 'lose'. 'Loose' with the double Os is used as the opposite of tight. It means that something is not confined and free to move about freely. 'Lose' with the single O refers to loss. One way to remember the difference is to memorize that 'lose has lost an o.' For example-
"You will lose your pearl necklace if you're not careful" and "The string broke and all the pearls came loose"
2- There, They're and Their
The number of people who think it is all right to use these two words interchangeably is astounding. 'There' and 'there', however, are two very different words with different meanings. The word 'there' signifies the position of an object, usually something kept at a distance. It is the opposite of 'here'. 'Their' signifies that the said object belongs to a group of people. Like the word 'your', it refers to ownership. 'They're' means 'They are.' For example-
"The family has gone there for the holidays. They're having a gala time. Their dog is also with them." Here, the word 'there' in the first and second sentence refers to the place the family is visiting. 'They're' can be expanded into 'they are' and 'their' in the third sentence refers to the fact that the dog in question belongs to them.
1- You're and Your
One of the most common mistakes that people make in written English. A majority of the population seems sadly unaware of the difference between 'your' and 'you're'. It's pretty simple really. The word 'you're' is used as a convenient abbreviation of 'you are.' 'Your', on the other hand, means 'belonging to the person the speaker is addressing'. It reflects ownership. One way of checking if the word you are using is right is to expand 'you're' into 'you are.' If the sentence makes sense, you are using it correctly. If not, then you probably need to replace it with 'you'. The difference should become clearer with this example-
'I am using your comb' and 'I am using you're comb'. Obviously the first one is correct because the second sentence literally means 'I am using you are a comb', which makes no sense whatsoever. Similarly, in 'You're looking good' and 'Your looking good', the first sentence is correct.

Thinking outside the box, or as the Rwanda country director of the Institute for War & Peace Reporting puts it, 'working within the circle', is a refreshing strategy for NGOs working in developing countries.
Brice Rambaud, Africa director for the Institute for War & Peace Reporting (IWPR) – and a friend of mine from his days at Internews in Nairobi – explains that in a country like Rwanda, a confrontational approach to press freedom doesn't work.
"So we work for change from within the circle and try to make sure the circle expands," he told a group of 35 or so invited guests at De Balie earlier this week.
Anthony Borden, founder of IWPR, was at the meeting too. He said that by taking the trouble to create a dialogue with the government in Rwanda, his organisation has been instrumental in introducing six key changes to the media sector including reforming the state broadcaster and introducing access to information legislation.
But Borden stressed that the starting point was to ask the government in Rwanda what sort of media it wanted in five years' time. The answer was inevitably "the best in the world", said Borden.
But there's still a lot of work to be done. Changes in legislation and don't mean journalists are automatically less afraid to ask questions. Or that they suddenly have the necessary research skills or interview techniques.
Journalists are also often crippled by self-censorship and a reluctance to change the habits of a lifetime. Which of course is the biggest challenge when it comes to training. And it's not an unique situation – as I know from training journalists in Moldova, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Kenya and many other countries.
Brice Ramboud of IWPR and Dianne Dusaidi, producer of tv show Rise & Shine, made a flying visit to Amsterdam this week to talk about how the media is changing in Rwanda.
Another speaker at the meeting was Dianne Dusaidi who produces a breakfast tv show in Kigali. Rise & Shine, is very different from 'traditional' tv programmes in Rwanda and has just celebrated its 100th show.
All this has been made possible by another IWPR initiative in the country – Dusaidi is one of the beneficiaries of a grant from the IWPR Rwanda Creative Hub (more about that in a minute).
Dusaidi said something that I have heard many times before from journalists around the world, which is basically that criticising the government isn't part of 'the culture' in Rwanda.
I think I know what she means – deference and respect are an integral part of many cultures and are values that not all Western NGOs, journalists or trainers understand, let alone appreciate. But there's a more fundamental issue that needs to be addressed and that is, what is – or should be – the role of the media in your society? And how do you make sure you fulfill that role? That's a universal question journalists around the world should constantly ask themselves.
And then there's the IWPR Rwanda Creative Hub. This is essentially a business accelerator for start-ups in the creative and IT sector run by IWPR with funds from the Dutch and Swedish embassies in Kigali.
The idea is to promote freedom of expression in a broader context and create sustainable businesses. But 'sustainability' isn't so easy for media companies in a country with just 11 million people, no advertising industry to speak of and no way to collate statistics on audiences.
The IWPR event at De Balie in Amsterdam on 31 March was organised by Dutchman Derk Sauer, chairman of the IWPR supervisory board in the Netherlands (and owner of "the largest independent foreign media company in Russia").
The aim was to find sponsors and mentors for the Rwanda Creative Hub (US$ 200,000 seed money invested in 2014).

Maryland Federal Court Drug Testers Indicted For Bribery
Federal probation and parole in Maryland got a whole lot easier for some defendants from 2009 to 2010. Well, at least it was for the dozens of defendants who had been convicted of federal crimes, or recently released from federal custody and completed their mandatory drug testing requirements at the Maryland treatment centers of Clean and Sober or Drug and Alcohol Recovery. And it were the drug counselors and drug testers that were allegedly on the take of this large scale pay for pass scheme. According to indictment proceedings that were just released to the public, two former federal contractors from Rockville, Maryland were involved in a long standing bribery operation where drug testing results were falsified in exchange for monetary compensation. Both former drug testers had been under investigation for federal criminal charges including bribery, making false statements, and witness tampering, and both face considerable prison time. According to court documents, one drug tester pleaded guilty to bribery, and is awaiting sentencing while the other was recently indicted. The drug tester who did not plead guilty was arrested soon after the results of the grand jury investigation were released.
The male drug tester pleaded guilty to accepting over 100 bribes from clients that were under federal supervision and required to undergo drug testing and treatment. According to the indictment documents these clients would pay cash to the drug testers, typically $50 per test in exchange for receiving a negative drug test. Many times, the testers would not even bother to conduct an actual drug test, and simply mark off that the patient had passed. The indicted drug testers were also paid upwards of $400 for drug treatment discharge papers when in fact the patient had not successfully completed the treatment. The male drug tester allegedly took more than $10,000 over the course of the 2 year scheme and faces up to 15 years in prison at his sentencing hearing in December.
The female drug tester appears to be in much more legal trouble for a few reasons. One, the government's evidence tends to show that the female was the one who started the bribery scheme and introduced the male tester to other defendants that were willing to pay for a clean drug test. It also appears that the male drug tester is working with federal law enforcement and struck some sort of deal to aid in the prosecution of the female. The feds have recorded conversations between the two drug testers where the female tells the male to deny that he ever accepted any bribes. The female also states that she does not want to go to jail and tries to convince the male to lie to federal investigators. The feds used these recorded conversations in the indictment, and they appear to be the most damaging evidence for the charge of giving a false statement to a grand jury. The female was called to testify in front of the grand jury months ago, and made a statement that she was not aware that anyone in her drug testing company had accepted money from any clients in order to avoid a positive urine test. The female drug tester faces well over 20 years in prison for her involvement in the bribery scheme.

The challenge of a changing world
Jörg-Rainer Zimmermann, 3 Jun 13
0	Printer-friendly versionSend by email
Wolfhart Dürrschmidt dedicated his career to Germany's switch to renewables. At the end of 2012, he retired from the Federal Environment Ministry where he worked for 22 years.
Change is inevitable – and attempts to prevent it are doomed to failure. This goes for all types of systems, too. Wolfhart Dürrschmidt found this out from a young age. "We weren't allowed to say a word when we crossed the border from East to West Berlin with our parents, shortly before the Berlin Wall was built." He is soft-spoken, with a touch of the Saxon dialect from his childhood mixed with expressions from his second home, Baden-Württemberg. And when he speaks about his life, he sounds clear and confident. Dürrschmidt has lived all over Germany and left an academic career for the civil service. "My horizons were wider because I experienced two types of society when I was a boy. I am convinced that radical change, however traumatic, also gives people a chance to start over. In hindsight, I can see that this belief defined my working life. I always fought for what I truly believe in, namely the switch to renewables, the big system transformation." Last December, Dürrschmidt left the Federal Environment Ministry, retiring as a ministerial counsellor and head of division after 22 years. The success of renewable energies in Germany is due in no small part to him, although the public is not generally aware of his role.
Like many other pioneers of nuclear phase-out, climate protection and the Renewable Energy Sources Act, Dürrschmidt was inspired by the early days of the green movement. However, he was always politically neutral. He was happy to let his talents develop. "I was very good at maths and science at school. If I'd had a stronger family connection to Oberrot*, where we lived at the time, then maybe I'd have stayed there and worked as a carpenter." He says this without false modesty, although he completed his PhD in physical chemistry at the University of Tübingen in 1979. (*Schwäbsich Hall district, Baden-Württemberg).
Microwave spectroscopy, quantum physics, molecular research – Dürrschmidt's main research fields were a truly explosive combination. It's no wonder that companies were so keen to hire him. "I had job offers from nuclear research institutes and the arms industry. One job involved developing guided missiles, but I would never have done that." Dürrschmidt observed himself and the system around him with critical distance. He wasn't interested in just making money fast. "I thought a great deal about what I wanted to do with my life. When I accepted a temporary job at the University of Kassel because I found the topic interesting, some of my colleagues thought I was very odd."
1980 was the year when Dürrschmidt really turned his back on conventional energies. Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker was president of the University of Kassel at the time. A short, but revolutionary, book by the Oeko-Institut - "The Energy Turnaround – Growth and Prosperity without Oil and Uranium" – was the subject of heated public discussion. In this intellectual climate, a new course was set for the future. Weizsäcker founded the Interdisciplinary Working Group on Adapted Technology, which Dürrschmidt later joined. The group focused on the decentralised use of renewables in industrialised countries and on socially acceptable and environmentally friendly technical innovations.

A fan brilliantly merged the end of 'Rogue One' with the original Star Wars
By Clayton Moore	 March 27, 2017
Warning: Spoiler alerts abound in this post. If you have yet to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, proceed at your own risk!
Rogue One may not have the Bothans (a long story for another day), but it did make the daring move of marching the narrative right up to the beginning of Star Wars: A New Hope, ending just 10 minutes before the events of the first Star Wars film. Now, in a spark of genius, a fan has spliced Darth Vader's rebel-thrashing fit of rage and the digitally recreated 1977 Princess Leia scenes at the end of the movie right into the dramatic beginning of the Star Wars saga, which you can see in the video above.
More: Han Solo movie: News, trailers, and everything we know so far
The new fan footage has exceptional timing: Rogue One was released last week for Digital Download from multiple distributors, including iTunes, Vudu and Google Play, and the film will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on April 4.
One of the more intriguing featurettes attached to the film's official home release is The Governor and the Princess, which details how the filmmakers recreated Peter Cushing's chilling performance as Grand Moff Tarkin via actor Guy Henry, not to mention that breathtaking cameo by Princess Leia, brought memorably to life by Norwegian actress Ingvild Deila.
"There wouldn't have been a decision to have a character reappear like this unless (Rogue One FX supervisor and story creator) John Knoll could reassure us that it was going to be completely believable," LucasFilm President Kathleen Kennedy explains in the video.
Other features on the home video release of Rogue One include featurettes on Alan Tudyk's K-2SO, warrior monk Chirrut Îmwe, as well as Forrest Whitaker's Saw Guerra, who recently resurfaced on television in Star Wars: Rebels. Another scene pays homage to illustrator and concept artist Ralph McQuarrie, whose conceptual designs were used as inspiration on Rogue One, Rebels, and upcoming Star Wars films.
Looking forward, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Episode VIII in the saga, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which premieres on December 15 and features the return of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker and the poignant last performance of Carrrie Fisher as General Leia Organa. We're also looking forward to next year's solo Han Solo origin film, detailing how Han and Chewie came to claim the Millennium Falcon thanks to one smooth-talking smuggler, Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover). The latter film also features Alden Ehrenreich as Han, as well as Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke and Michael Kenneth Williams.
Departing Disney CEO Bob Iger also said this week that the company is plotting another "decade and a half" of Star Wars films.

Once you have decided on your clubs, go to the first tee.
You have the option of teeing your ball anywhere between, but not forward of, the markers.
Don't forget that you can also tee it a maximum of two club lengths behind the line of the markers.
You can make this knowledge work for you. For instance, you may come to a hole which is a little short for the 5 iron you feel you should use but not short enough for a 6.
Your feeling is that if you use the No. 6 you will have to hit the ball very hard to get there. In this case use the 5 but tee your ball a little higher and use your normal swing. The higher tee will take distance off the shot.
You can vary the height of the tee in the wind, too, teeing a shade higher if you want the help of a following wind and lower if you want a low, boring shot into the wind.
Whatever the trouble is, make this your rule: Tee up your ball on the same side of the teeing ground as the trouble lies, and shoot away from it.
Before you stick the peg in the ground take a good look at what is in front of you. And know what you are looking for. Almost every hole has more trouble on one side of the fairway than it does on the other. This trouble may be obvious: a string of white out-of-bounds stakes, a fence, or a pond. It may be more subtle: longer rough on one side than on the other, or a fairway trap on one side. It might be just a line of small trees, or a hidden ravine, or it might be one big tree with spreading branches out there in the rough about 220 or 230 yards from the tee.
Something else in teeing your ball. Take advantage, if there is any to be taken, of any unevenness of the ground. Often there are little depressions on a tee. If there are in the area you choose, tee your ball on the forward edge of one. This will give you a slightly uphill lie, the lie most golfers like to play from. This is especially important if you are playing with the wind behind you. It will get your ball a little higher. But wherever you tee, be sure there are no obstructions of any kind behind the ball. These might be worm casts, which could deflect the club slightly as it is brought back, or they could be loose, dead grass, the movement of which might distract you. Whatever they are, get rid of them.
Another point to be sure of is that your feet are on level ground, that there is nothing under them which disturbs you, like a stick or a small stone or a clod of mud. Be sure also, especially in wet weather, that your feet aren't resting on muddy ground or loose earth from which they might slip.
All this may seem to be making mountains out of those worm casts we warned you of, but such observation, inspection, and reaction should become automatic. We assure you they are with the good player. Any little advantages which may exist are even more valuable to you than they are to the pro or the low-handicap player.
One of the great and variable hazards of golf is the wind. Few players actually like the wind, because it is an unsettling factor, though sometimes more imaginary than real. It is a fact, though, that an appreciable number of yards are lost when you hit straight into a wind, even though it is a light breeze, and just as many yards are gained when the wind is directly with the shot.
It follows, then, that in playing against the wind the ball should be kept as low as possible, where it is less exposed, and that when the wind is behind us we should get the ball up so the movement of air can exert a greater and longer effect. To get a low ball, play it back farther than normal, toward the center line between the feet if it is the tee shot, back farther for a pitching iron. Keep more weight on the left leg than normally and try to have your hands ahead of the ball at impact. It is also advisable, against the wind, to take one club stronger than you would use in still air, grip it shorter, and use a shorter but firmer swing. Most of these alterations should be reversed in a following wind.
The ball should be played a shade farther forward than usual to get it up quickly, and one club weaker than normal should be used. It, too, should be gripped shorter and swung with a shorter and firmer action. Let the weight movement and the hand action be normal; fooling with them is too dangerous.
Playing in a crosswind from the tee, the ball should be played from the same side the wind is blowing and played for the windward side of the fairway. This way you are letting the wind help the ball just a little, instead of fighting it as you would be if you started the ball even slightly against it. This formula playing from the side of the tee the wind is blowing from holds in a quartering wind too, whether it is with or against you.
You will be faced with a slight conflict if the trouble is on one side of the fairway and the wind is coming from the other. When you find yourself in this dilemma, let the trouble be the determining factor.
One more thought while we are on the teeing ground. Most short (par 3) holes are played with an iron. When you play them, use a wooden tee. This is the only chance you ever have to get a perfect lie for an iron, so why not take it? But remember, the higher you tee the ball, the less distance you will get.
If the worst trouble lies on the right side, tee up on the right. Aim for the left center of the fairway and let fly.
This way you will be at least starting your shot away from the danger zone.
If, playing from the right side, you slice badly enough to bring the ball back into the trouble, you will still have two sources of satisfaction: The ball won't be as deep in the trouble and you will know that you at least tried intelligently to avoid it. There is always the chance, of course, that you will hit the ball across the fairway and into the rough on the opposite side, but then you have been caught by the lesser of the two evils and the advantage is still yours.

NDC's deputy general secretary, Baba Jamal's dream of capturing the Akwatia seat has not materialized.
The NPP's Kiston Akomeng Kissi has trounced him to secure the seat again for his party.
Baba Jamal was popular among the youth.
They believed he could best represent Akwatia in the legislature.
But the Akwatia is an NPP stronghold and so it was not going to be that easy for Jamal who has spent most part of the four years in Accra fighting the course of his party.

Urban Land > Market Trends > Municipalities and Developers Turning to Online Platforms to Get Civic Input
Municipalities and Developers Turning to Online Platforms to Get Civic Input
By Patricia Montemurri
An example of one of the coUrbanize signs used in the Crystal City neighborhood of Arlington County, Virginia.
The city of Detroit used an online platform to get more community feedback on the city's first Sustainability Action Agenda. In addition to traditional community outreach, community members were solicited with a multilingual campaign using text messages, a web platform, and traditional yard signs, helping the city gather input from thousands of respondents, more than would be possible at a traditional community meeting.
Questions such as "What are things you would change about your everyday life—and why?"; "What do you like about your neighborhood—and why?"; and "What's your most challenging housing expense—and why?" seem simple.
But when Detroiters answered, their responses were mapped out and indexed digitally on an all-access interactive map. The coUrbanize platform in Detroit drew over 1,300 comments and questions, part of a goal to reach nearly 7,000 Detroiters in developing the sustainability master plan. The coUrbanize website drew more than 550 followers, each receiving an email digest of comments and a summary on a weekly basis.
Using coUrbanize "was a great adjunct platform," said Joel Howrani Heeres, Detroit's director of sustainability. It was a good way to engage residents where they're at, to foment discussion about what could happen.
"The cool thing about those folks we did get through coUrbanize is that we had repeated engagement with them," said Heeres. "With other people, it was more of a one-time engagement."
The Detroit engagement project is one of nearly 400 designed by Boston-based coUrbanize, founded by city planner Karin Brandt in 2014. Such community engagement platform companies—such as MySideWalk.Com out of Kansas City and Placespeak.Com out of Vancouver—are helping municipalities, civic organizations, and private developers gauge community needs and desires.
Brandt said that she started coUrbanize because of her experience in attending community meetings to explain developments and strategy.
"It felt like those who tend to show up at a public meeting were more opposed to change. It's difficult to get new people to attend a meeting at 7pm, when often they're too busy, or don't have the time or resources," said the Iowa-bred Brandt.
"How do we make the conversation more constructive and easily accessible to encourage a broader audience to participate?" Brandt asked. "How do you reach that population whose voice isn't normally being heard, and get it before it's too late to incorporate feedback?"

One of the goals also was to make it easier for immigrants in neighborhoods and ethnic enclaves to more easily communicate their views, even if English was not their first language.
In Detroit, city officials planted lawn signs with volunteer households asking passersby to text their answers to questions, written also in Spanish and Arabic. "We're working on creating a healthier Detroit for generations to come. Get involved!" read the lawn signs.
In Detroit, the lawn signs did not generate big numbers, probably because of low foot traffic and visibility. But coUrbanize signs with questions helped galvanize community input in 2018 for developer JBG Smith Properties in designing the Central District for the Crystal City neighborhood of Arlington County, Virginia, near Washington, D.C. The Crystal City signs were in areas near subways with high-pedestrian traffic.
Among the Crystal City questions were the following:
"What kind of restaurant would you visit most often at the corner of 18th and Crystal?"
"What do you want to see when you leave the future Metro exit at 18th and Crystal?
"What kind of activities do you want to see most in a future plaza at 18th and Crystal?"
"The coUrbanize platform stimulated community input," says Andrew Van Horn, JBG Smith's executive vice president.
"With a project of this scale and this much potential development, we really wanted to find new opportunities to access community members who couldn't show up at board hearings and wait six hours to testify," said Van Horn, speaking to the Washington Business Journal (Link).
Deploying platforms such as coUrbanize does not do away with face-to-face town halls on development, Brandt says. In Detroit, Heeres also used coUrbanize to gauge audience reaction to ideas at community meetings.
By using texting feedback at meetings, Brandt says that leaders get a more "democratized" process that better answers whether planners "are getting what people really think or just those confident enough to use the microphone."
The Detroit team used the same SMS integration to display the sign questions at public meetings on the projection screen and received a lot of response from community members, says Brandt, and "we now recommend this as a best practice to all project teams."

Detroit touts its Sustainability Action Agenda as "a strategic roadmap . . . to create a more sustainable Detroit where all Detroiters thrive and prosper in an equitable, green city; have access to affordable, quality homes; live in clean, connected neighborhoods; and work together to steward resources."
On the coUrbanize website, residents had a lot to say about air quality, mobility issues, about improving bus stop shelters.
When Detroit's Sustainability Action Plan was released in June, it listed multiple goals. Among them are transforming the city's abundant vacant lots, reducing waste sent to landfills, making it easier to get around the Motor City without a motorized vehicle, and to improve air quality and reduce exposure to pollution. In Detroit, the coUrbanize platform drew multiple comments about air quality.
Even before the sustainability plan was released, one goal for cleaner air got a boost. Numerous coUrbanize comments in 2018 came from residents disgusted by odors released by an incinerator near the heart of the city.
"The incinerator spews bad odors and emits pollution. Time to end incineration of our trash and set goals for waste reduction! Detroit can do this, we just need to set our minds to it," said one website respondent.
In March, the operators of the controversial Detroit incinerator, which had run afoul of government regulators for years, announced it was ceasing operations in response to financial concerns and community outrage.
In some communities, the time of day of a meeting might not be convenient for work or child care needs, or people would have to travel long distances to participate. By reaching out to people on their phones or by street signs, communities are giving a voice to the people who are often left out of the traditional community meeting process.


True Blood ran for 81 episodes from 2008 to 2014, and at the time was one of the most popular shows on TV. The HBO series was based on the novels by Charlaine Harris and followed the story of Sookie Stackhouse and the residents of Bon Temps, Louisiana. The series was right in the middle of the vampire craze of the mid-2000s, and still has a strong following today. Yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of the series, and at the Vulture Festival in Los Angeles where they screened the pilot episode for fans, the creator of the series Alan Ball discussed plans for a special musical production of the series.
Ball told the crowd that he had heard composer Nathan Barr's musical that is in development was "pretty good". He went on to say that "It tells the story of vampires coming out of the closet. Ultimately it really departs from the book, because people aren't ready, and they're too bigoted and they end up going back in to the closet." Fans shouldn't be getting their hopes up that the musical will be coming anytime soon though, as it was originally announced in 2014 and is still being workshopped. Ball himself didn't say if he is involved in the project at all either, but by the way he was describing the project it doesn't feel like he is.
Whether or not the True Blood musical finally hits the stage is unknown at this point, but we'll be keeping our eyes open for it.


Rainn Wilson is returning to the Star Trek universe as Harry Mudd.
On Sunday, Wilson shared a photo of himself in costume as the scoundrel Harry Mudd hanging out on set with a couple of Orions.
Wilson also teased that a big announcement is coming on Thursday from CBS, so Star Trek fans should keep their eyes and ears open.
Wilson played Mudd in two episodes of Star Trek: Discovery's first season. He was introduced in the episode "Choose Your Pain." After Captain Lorca left Mudd behind on a Klingon prison ship, Mudd returned in the episode "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad" to seek revenge.
Mudd was already confirmed to return in Star Trek: Short Treks, the upcoming CBS All Access micro-series of short films, each one focusing on a different Star Trek: Discovery character. Wilson will direct and star in the Harry Mudd episode.
Star Trek: Short Treks is still without a premiere date, though it was teased for a fall release ahead of Star Trek: Discovery's return in early 2019. Perhaps the big announcement on Thursday will be that premiere date, with the Harry Mudd episode coming first.
Then again, maybe Wilson is teasing his return to Star Trek: Discovery itself. Or perhaps even bigger, Wilson has said that he'd like to see Mudd get his own spinoff series, something that the CBS All Access executives did not rule out. With the Star Trek franchise in a period of expansions, nothing is out of the question.
Are you excited for Rainn Wilson's return as Harry Mudd? Let us know in the comments!


What is Darmachakra Mudra? In the dharmachakra mudra, the thumbs and index fingers of both hands touch and form a circle, and the circles touch each other. The three other fingers of each hand are extended. The three extended fingers of each hand are also rich in symbolism. On the right hand, the middle finger represents the Buddha's audience, the ring finger stands for the few who realize his teachings, while the little finger is the Great Vehicle (Mahayana). The fingers of the left hand represent the Buddha himself, the law of Dharma and the Sangha. Often the left palm is turned toward the body and the right palm away from the body.
who are distinguished by this mudra are Atisha, Tsongkhapa, Asanga and Sakya Pandita.
So where is the best FengShui placement for a Dharmachakra Mudra Buddha?
It is highly recommended to consecrate a Dharmachakra Mudra Buddha In the home office or library/study, etc. Just by looking at this Buddha hand gesture one can connect to the energy of deep peace and serenity. It is a powerful FengShui decor adapt to any places!

Les Herniques ou Hernici en latin, sont une population italique du Latium antique.

Ils forment une ligue autour de la ville d'Anagnia dans la vallée du Tolerus (aujourd'hui le Sacco ), sur la rive gauche de cette rivière. Les autres principales cités herniques sont Aletrium, Verulae et Ferentinum.

Rien ne prouve que les Herniques aient jamais parlé un dialecte réellement différent du latin, mais une ou deux gloses indiquent qu'ils eurent des traits caractéristiques de vocabulaire, comme on peut s'y attendre chez les peuples qui ont maintenu des habitudes locales. Leur nom avec sa terminaison en « -cus  » les classe avec les autres tribus dont le nom se termine en « -cus », comme les Volsques, qui semblent avoir été les premiers habitants de la côte occidentale de l'Italie, où ils étaient établis avant les tribus dont le nom est suffixé en « -nus ».

À la fin du  et pendant le , un refroidissement climatique provoque la migration des peuples sabelliens qui descendent des Apennins pour investir les plaines d'Italie : parmi eux, les Herniques s'installent à l'est de la cité de Signia, au sud-est des Latins, au sud des Èques, au sud-ouest des Marses et au nord des Volsques qui occupent les marais pontins et la vallée de la Liris.

Au début du , les Herniques, à l'instar des Volsques et des Èques, manifestent une hostilité croissante contre les Latins mais la période de conflit est de courte durée. Ils se rallient à la ligue latine et à Rome dès 486  selon la tradition et combattent dorénavant leurs turbulents voisins. L'alliance avec Rome se dégrade au  jusqu'à la guerre romano-hernique de 362 à 358  Ils sont alors soumis par Rome jusqu'à la rébellion finale de 307/306  Les cités rebelles herniques sont alors directement intégrées dans la République romaine tandis que celles qui sont restées loyales gardent une certaine autonomie et indépendance. Au cours du siècle suivant, il devient impossible de distinguer les Herniques des voisins latins et ils disparaissent en tant que peuple distinct.

Les Herniques dans l'histoire romaine

Conflits avec la ligue latine et Rome (495 et 487)

Situés entre les Èques et les Volsques, les Herniques manifestent une hostilité nouvelle contre les Latins mais la période de conflit est de courte durée.

En 495, les Volsques et les Herniques forment une coalition pour attaquer les Latins et Rome, alliés. En proie à des dissensions internes, les Volsques marchent jusqu'aux portes de Rome où ils sont vaincus.

En 487, les deux mêmes peuples sont en guerre contre les Latins et Rome. Le consul romain Caius Aquillius Tuscus reçoit le commandement contre les Herniques, qu'il vainc. Il aurait eu droit à l'ovation. Son collègue est chargé de combattre les Volsques. Selon Tite-Live, . Selon Denys d'Halicarnasse, il écrase une armée volsque, tue leur général, et reçut le triomphe pour sa victoire.

Alliance entre les Herniques, la ligue latine et Rome (486)

Les Herniques, encerclés de part et d'autre par les Volsques et les Èques, après avoir fait cause commune avec eux dans les premières années du , se sentent sans doute menacé. Plusieurs communautés latines périphériques semblent submergées et pour répondre à cette nouvelle menace que représente l'arrivée des peuples sabelliens, les Latins se lient par le fœdus Cassianum, vers 493  selon la tradition antique, une alliance militaire conclue entre la ligue latine et Rome.

Ils se rallient aux Latins et à Rome dès 486 selon la tradition. Ils sont suffisamment puissants pour conclure un traité sur des bases égales avec ces derniers.

Guerres contre les Volsques et les Èques (485 - 390)

Les sources antiques montrent Rome, les Latins et les Herniques lutter contre les Volsques ou les Èques presque chaque année pendant toute la première moitié du  Ce conflit presque permanent est plutôt dominé par des raids, des pillages et des escarmouches plutôt que par les batailles mises en scène par les auteurs antiques.

Au cours de la deuxième moitié du , ils semblent avoir endigué le flot volsque et èque. Les sources notent la fondation de plusieurs colonies romano-latines à cette époque, et les mentions de guerres contre les Èques et les Volsques deviennent moins fréquentes.

Relâchement de l'alliance romano-latino-hernique (389)

Tite-Live écrit qu'en 389, après une centaine d'années d'alliance et d'amitié, les Latins et les Herniques font défection et abandonnent leur alliance avec Rome après sa mise à sac par les Gaulois. Ensuite, en 386 et 385, des contingents latins et herniques combattent aux côtés des Volsques. Rome proteste et refuse de restituer les prisonniers latins et herniques, mais ne déclare pas pour autant la guerre à ses anciens alliés.

Tite-Live voit le sac de Rome par les Gaulois comme une catastrophe qui encourage ses voisins à se soulever contre elle dans l'espoir de profiter de sa faiblesse temporaire. Les historiens modernes pensent cependant que la tradition ancienne exagère l'impact historique du sac. De même, ils sont en désaccord avec le point de vue de Tite-Live sur la défection des Herniques. Ils considèrent que la rupture de l'alliance n'a pas été aussi soudaine mais découle plutôt d'une dégradation progressives des relations.

La rupture du traité est peut-être davantage due à une politique voulue par Rome qui cherche ainsi à se libérer de ses obligations imposée par le traité et acquérir une plus grande liberté d'action. Mais les Latins et les Herniques, n'étant plus menacés par les Èques et les Volsques, peuvent également avoir saisi l'occasion laissée par le sac de Rome pour abandonner l'alliance avec Rome qui les dominait de plus en plus. Après la rupture du traité, certains Latins et Herniques ont pu être amenés à lutter aux côtés des Volsques mais il se peut également que ce soit une invention de Tite-Live ou de ses sources pour fournir un motif littéraire à son récit.

Excepté quelques douteuses références, aucun conflit n'est rapporté entre les Romains et les Herniques jusqu'en 366.

Guerre romano-hernique (362-358)

Selon Tite-Live, en 366, la nouvelle de la rébellion des Herniques parvient à Rome, mais aucune décision n'est prise, à cause du consul plébéien selon l'historien romain. Après que les fétiaux ont été envoyés en vain chez les Herniques pour exiger réparation, le Sénat et le peuple romain votent en 362 la guerre contre les Herniques. Lucius Genucius Aventinensis devient le premier consul plébéien à commander une armée en temps de guerre, mais les Herniques surprennent Genucius dans une embuscade. Le consul est tué et ses légions sont mises en déroute. Réfugiées dans un camp, elles sont secourues par le dictateur Appius Claudius Crassus qui repousse les Herniques. Les Herniques profitent de la nuit pour abandonner leur camp et se retirer. Voyant passer les ennemis sous leurs murs, les habitants de Signia sortent et dispersent les forces herniques. Le bilan côté romain est également lourd, avec un quart de leur force tombé ainsi qu'une part considérable de la cavalerie.

En 361, les consuls romains envahissent le territoire hernique. Ne trouvant aucun ennemi sur le terrain, ils attaquent et prennent Ferentinum. Le consul Caius Sulpicius Peticus entre en triomphe à Rome. En 360, le consul Marcus Fabius Ambustus vainc les Herniques d'abord dans quelques batailles mineures, puis dans une de plus grande envergure dans laquelle les Herniques attaquent avec toutes leurs forces. Grâce ses victoires, Fabius entre dans la ville de Rome en ovation.

En 358, les Romains assignent à Caius Plautius Proculus le commandement de la guerre hernique. Le consul vainc les Herniques, les force à se soumettre et triomphe.

Rébellion finale des Herniques (307-306)

Selon les auteurs antiques, vers la fin de la deuxième guerre samnite, en 307, les Romains trouvent un certain nombre d'hommes d'origine hernique parmi les prisonniers capturés lors d'une bataille contre les Samnites. Ils sont placés sous bonne garde dans plusieurs cités latines tandis que les Romains enquêtent pour savoir s'ils ont combattu volontairement pour les Samnites ou s'ils ont été enrôlés de force.

Les historiens modernes parlent d'un soulèvement en 306, conséquence d'une attaque samnite au-delà de la vallée du Liris, dans celle du Tolerus menant à Rome, région où sont installés les Herniques. Anagni fait partie des cités révoltées, ce qui est moins sûr pour Ferentinum.

Ils sont facilement vaincus par les Romains. Le consul Quintus Marcius Tremulus triomphe sur Anagni et les Herniques.

Comme punition pour leur sédition, Anagni et les autres villes sont annexées à la République romaine, obtenant le statut de civitas sine suffragio. Aletrium, Verulae et peut-être Ferentinum sont autorisées à conserver leur autonomie et à jouir de droits similaires à ceux des Latins.

Après leur soumission

Le nom des Herniques, comme celui des Volsques, est absent de la liste des peuples italiens en mesure de fournir des troupes en 225

Ce dont on déduit que leur territoire ne se différencie plus du Latium et a probablement reçu la citoyenneté romaine complète. Les plus anciennes inscriptions latines de district datent de la guerre sociale et ne présentent pas de caractéristiques locales.

Shame on me for not getting to this book sooner. I read and was highly entertained by the first in the trilogy, Entangled, last year. Why the follow up slipped through my net, I don't know. I woke in the middle of the night recently with back pain and knew there was no getting back to sleep, so I grabbed my Kindle and got reading. I read this in a few hours, finishing about 4am. Totally distracted me from the pain – nice one!
If you haven't read the first book, beware of SPOILERS and stuff that may not make much sense.
Since the last book, Graylee is getting along fine in Stacey's body. She goes by Lee now. Lee's mom is dating Stacey's dad, so Lee gets to spend a lot of time with her mother. Her relationship with Raj is stronger than ever. All in all, life is pretty good these days. That is until her twin sister, Charlene, walks through the door claiming to be Gray. But Lee (in Stacey's body) is Gray; she's just in a different body. How can there be two of the same people? Are you still with me? I think I lost myself there, actually. Anyway, something magical and potentially dangerous is going on, and they figure it's down to the dirty rotten scoundrel of a sorcerer, Adrian.
I felt for Gray. She comes back from oblivion only to find Raj happily going out with Lee. Where does she fit in? Her mother already has a version of Gray in Lee. It seems like the only one really happy to have Gray around is Adrian. The separation of Gray and Lee was very well done. Despite these two starting out as the same person, it's made clear they're different "entities" now. In the past year, Lee's personality has changed a little. She's in the body of someone else, living with Stacey's father as Stacey, so of course she's going to grow up and develop. Gray, however, is the same. She doesn't have the recent life experience of Lee. She's raw Gray – if that makes any sort of sense.
I'd love to know more about oblivion. The concept of souls isn't explored in these books. How can there be one soul in two different bodies, and where was Gray before she suddenly puffed into existence in her sister's body, and what are they going to do about Charlene's soul just hovering around in France without a body? These are questions I'd like to see come into focus in the final book in the trilogy. From the sneak peek at the back of the book, we get to follow Gray in her new life in Barcelona. I visited that beautiful city last summer, so I'm looking forward to immersing myself in all things Catalan in Enchantment.

Her Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter series looks great too.
I love the cover. It sounds like a carefully plotted series. I can't imagine the hoops the author must have jumped through crafting such a complex plot. I'm glad this distracted you from your back pain and hope you are feeling better now, Emma!
The covers for this trilogy are simply gorgeous. I'd have trouble keeping up with all the plotlines if it were my series. These books will make you laugh, too.
And thanks, Mae. I'm much better.
Whoa! Mind. Blown. I think I followed all of this. I definitely need to read the first book because you've got me hooked on this book. What a compelling concept! And that cover is stunning.
I've hooked you? Great stuff! And if you managed to follow my rambles, well done. I'm after re-reading this post now and some of it doesn't make sense to me.
Hope you do, Michelle. They're entertaining as hell.
I'm confused, but I like the cover, and I think the idea is very meta and interesting (I think).
Ah yes, wonderful Barclona, where a younger me mistakingly fell in love with Calamari, good times, good times.
Yep, I'm pretty sure I left a lot of people confused. But it's a good read.
Calamari – no thanks. I'm very squeamish about squid and other stuff that comes from the sea.
Still haven't got around to reading Entangled. Glad book 2 got a positive review.
Readers do tend to fear that the middle book of a trilogy won't be great, but there were no worries here.
Thanks for stopping by, Sheena.
Back pain, that doesn't sound like fun! I'm glad the book allowed you to forget about it though, definitely the sign of a riveting read. Power to the books!
It isn't, Becky, but Duplicity completely took my mind off it.
I saw this book somewhere recently and was giving it serious though. I think you just convinced me. I must add it to my TBR. Sounds like my kind of thing. Starting with the first one, of course. Sorry you had such back pain. That's no good. 😦 Glad you found some distraction, though.
It's a lot of magical mayhem. I think you'd like it, Debra.
LOVE this cover. I'm going to have to bookmark this page of yours, Emma, and hopefully get to read these sometime later in the year. They sound captivating to say the least. Great review!
The covers are absolutely gorgeous.
