Construction Starts for Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum | Winchester Star
WINCHESTER, Va. — General contractor Howard Shockey & Sons announces construction has begun for the Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum, at a location near the south end of Winchester's historic pedestrian mall. The museum, which has been looking for an ideal place to expand, acquired a three-story brick building at 19 W. Cork Street to serve as its new home.
"This project will transform an existing office building into a vibrant downtown attraction," says Jeff Boehm, Vice President with Shockey.
When the transformation is complete, Boehm says the 14,500-square-foot building will feature hands-on art, science, cultural, environmental and media exhibitions, as well as special event space. A whimsical, exuberant roof deck with landscaped learning gardens will add an additional 4,800 square feet of space. Renovations also include enlivening the exterior with a child-designed community art project.
"This building is going to be filled with wonder and delight – it will make you smile," says architect Chuck Swartz, adding that matter-of-fact design solutions are married to whimsy in this building. "The entry to the building will be happy and glassy — we will install a large operable glass garage door to allow exhibits like ambulances and dinosaurs to enter," says Swartz.
The museum will showcase a 20-foot kinetic sculpture demonstrating the force of gravity through cause and effect. Exhibits will include a full-size Triceratops skeleton, a dynamic and interactive health center, a water play area, and a hands-on science kitchen where children can perform experiments under the guidance of a professional scientist. In addition to classrooms, offices and a museum store, the new museum will feature an expanded art area with rotating artists-in-residence.
"Our goal is to offer a distinctive place where children can experience the joy of learning in a creative, stimulating environment," says Mary Braun, the Executive Director.
The facility is one of only seven children's museums in Virginia, and it draws visitors from a wide area including Northern Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley, as well as West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Approximately 34,000-40,000 people visit the Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum each year.
Visitation to the museum is expected to sizably increase when it moves into the larger space and unveils the new interactive exhibits. The children's museum will continue to operate at its present location, 54 S. Loudoun St. until the new museum opens next year.
"This museum is already known for its innovative programming. The new facility promises to become even more of a destination, and it will positively impact our local economy. We'll see more visitors to the pedestrian mall, and they're likely to combine their trip to the museum with dining out and shopping, so it's good news on many levels," says Sally Coates, Executive Director of the Winchester-Frederick County Convention & Visitor Bureau.
Howard Shockey & Sons, Inc. of Winchester is the general contractor; Reader & Swartz Architects, also of Winchester, is the architectural firm.

Businesses on Guadalupe Street have begun posting signs outside their establishments banning the open carry of firearms.
Businesses along the Drag are posting signs outside their storefronts which ban the open carry of firearms in an effort to appeal to customers dissatisfied with a new Texas gun law.
On Jan. 1, House Bill 910, approved by the legislature over the summer, took effect, allowing any Texas gun owner with a concealed handgun license to begin openly carrying firearms in a hip or shoulder holster.
Since open carry has taken effect, several popular businesses along the Drag — including Chipotle, Torchy's, Kerbey Lane Cafe and Austin's Pizza — have opted out of the new law.
While any business making more than 51 percent of their sales from alcohol purchases, such as The Local, are already exempt from the open carry law's effects, other businesses along the Drag have either remained neutral on putting out signs or have decided not to do so until complications arise.
While also reaching out to open carry supporters, business owners at some of these restaurants and businesses along the Drag argue that having a few customers walk in while openly carrying a firearm could scare off potential business.
While honoring existing "gun-free zones" on government property, the law also allows business owners to opt out of the law by posting two signs in Spanish and English outside the storefront referencing section 30.07 of the penal code, which deals with the trespass of licensed firearms carriers.
Sociology freshman Jeremey Gabreleski, who recently dined at a business opting out of the new law, said he believes businesses should not feel worried about scaring off potential customers or about being robbed.
While businesses throughout Austin are worried about the new law's effects on potential business, students are split on whether the potential for open carry makes them more or less likely to enter a business.
English junior Emily Dixon said she believes the open carry law could potentially be dangerous for customers because the high population of homeless and loiterers along the Drag may lead to increased thefts and accidents.

Why Hulk Hogan's victory over Gawker is a stain on the First Amendment
Taylor Millard 6:31 PM on March 20, 2016
A lot of people are celebrating the fact Gawker is probably going to have to shut down due to the $115M verdict against them in the Hulk Hogan trial. It makes sense because Gawker is a left-wing tabloid with no real moral code and seems more willing to write about sex lives and "maximum income," instead of actual news. Their former editor even sickeningly claimed during the trial the only way a celebrity sex tape wouldn't be newsworthy is if it involved a four-year-old. Gawker is a stain on journalism, but the verdict against them is a stain on the First Amendment. Gawker has every right to exist and publish every tawdry story it wants because of freedom of the press.
The crux of the trial is the age old battle over what defines the right to privacy. Hogan contends his privacy was broken because he was recorded having sex with Bubba the Love Sponge's now ex-wife without his permission. Someone stole the tape and sold it to Gawker, who then published it. It's similar to other claims made by celebrities when details of their own lives have been published. Neil Richards' book Intellectual Privacy notes it all dates back to 1890 when journalists decided to focus more on the private lives of "the elite":
Writing for the newly affluent middles classe and armed with new cameras that could take pictures instantaneously, the "Yellow Press" blurred settle lines between public and private. In June, the New York Times reported that opera star Marion Manola had obtained an injunction after a photograph of her taken on stage wearing tights was used by a theater promoter for publicly. In July, E.L. Godkin, editor of The Nation, argued that the rise of the Yellow Press required greater protection for what he called "the right to privacy." This was a person's right "to decide how much knowledge of his personal thought and feeling, and how much knowledge, therefore, of his tastes and habits, of his own private doings and affairs, and those of his family living under his own roof, the public at large shall have"…But there was a deep-seated class anxiety at work as well. Established Victorian elites felt their social status and control in doubt as literate urban lower classes challenged their authority. They saw their social control eroding, as disrespectful reporters scrutinized life inside their townhouses in pursuit of a scoop.
Richards notes this caused future Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis to co-write a piece opining the press caused morality and social standards to be lowered if they kept reporting on private lives. This caused state legislatures to start passing "privacy laws" to restrict press freedom and courts to uphold said laws. All it shows is the elite were trying to keep their private lives private, so commoners wouldn't find out just how human they actually were. When it comes to Hogan, his defenders are saying his sex tape isn't "newsworthy," but Hogan has talked publicly about his sex life, as did his ex-wife. So Hogan is being hypocritical for being willing to talk on Howard Stern about his private life, but claiming the sex tape is private. It shows Hogan believes, as Brandeis did, there is a fuzzy line between public and private knowledge, and that it's only okay for Hogan to talk about it.
Here's the other reason why the jury verdict is scary: how it can affect future cases and American politics. Hogan defenders like to talk about the fact his privacy was violated because the tape was secretly recorded. But what about news stories involving sources who give out information "without permission" of their bosses? Why was it okay for Andrew Breitbart to get nude pictures of Anthony Weiner, but it's not okay for Gawker to get Hogan's sex tape? Why was it okay for Matt Drudge to report on Bill Clinton's affair, but not Gawker and Hogan? Why is it okay for Fox News reporter James Rosen to use sources to report on the government, but Gawker's reporting on Hogan is worthy of a lawsuit? Why was Mitt Romney's "47%" comments okay in 2012, but Hogan's sex tape isn't? If what Gawker did isn't okay, then isn't it possible more lawsuits over "sources say" news pieces or leaked documents are going to happen? This is why people need to pause before triumphantly cackling at Gawker's probable demise because it opens the door for future lawsuits, thus stifling press freedom.
This doesn't mean Gawker should have posted the tape. They have every right to under the First Amendment, but they have to decide whether it's really worth it. If I'd been in Gawker's shoes I wouldn't have posted the tape and probably would have given it to Hogan out of good will. His privacy was violated, but Gawker wasn't the ones who did it. It was Bubba the Love Sponge for recording the video and his lackey for stealing it and selling it. All Gawker did was report what they were given. The press does have a responsibility to decide whether or not they want to report something, but ultimately it's their decision. Lawsuits (or threats of lawsuits) and laws shouldn't determine it.
I don't particularly want Gawker to exist, but I do not believe the jury should have awarded the case to Hogan. The best way to get rid of Gawker isn't through a lawsuit, but through killing its revenue stream. As people stop going to Gawker for "news," the website loses ad revenue and whatever seemly influence it had. Mock it in public or write it off as some salacious website which doesn't have any value. But don't sue it. Gawker deserves to exist under the First Amendment and freedom of the press.

Forest Lifeforce Restoration Trust passes 400 kiwi milestone
A leading Hawke's Bay conservation trust has released its 400 th kiwi back into the bush. The Forest Lifeforce
Restoration Trust celebrated the event with a lunch for its conservation partners held last week at the Kiwi for
kiwi charity's new kiwi crèche in Napier.
The event was attended by 40 people from the world of kiwi conservation, including representatives from the
National Kiwi Hatchery in Rotorua, where eggs from the trust's properties are incubated and hatched, The
Cape Sanctuary, where the resulting chicks are crèched until they are large enough to defend themselves
against predators, Kiwis for kiwi and the Department of Conservation, which run the Operation Nest Egg kiwi
conservation initiative, and the Ngāti Pahauwera Development Trust, the trust's mana whenua partner.
"We wanted to mark this milestone by recognising the amazing efforts of all the groups and people we work
with and depend on," said trust Chairman Simon Hall. "We've been doing this for more than 10 years now and
over that time contacts have turned into partnerships, and partnerships into enduring friendships.
"It's no exaggeration to say that without them all, what we do would simply not be possible. It is absolutely a
partnership of equals. The complex equation that lets us all grow heaps of young kiwi to put back into our
forests just wouldn't work if one of the elements wasn't there. Our partners are all dedicated conservation
professionals who do an astounding job, often for little recognition or reward other than knowing that they're
doing something worthwhile."
Following the lunch two chicks reared from eggs collected on the trust's property in the Maungataniwha
Native Forest south of Te Urewera were released into the bush at its other property in the 11,400ha Pohokura
Forest between Taupo and Napier. The trust has been successful in re-establishing a viable, self-sustaining kiwi
population at Maungataniwha and plans to repeat the exercise at Pohokura. It aims to release up to 200 kiwi
there by 2024. The first, the 300 th bird resulting from the trust's conservation work, was released in 2019.
The two chicks were released by Kiwis for kiwi executive director Michelle Impey and the National Kiwi
Hatchery's Emma Bean.
A small number of kiwi are already present at Pohokura, which has the potential to support as many as 500
breeding pairs within the species' natural geographic range.
Re-establishing kiwi at Pohokura supports the long-term goal of the national Kiwi Recovery Plan; to reach
100,000 kiwi by 2030 through growing populations of all kiwi species by at least two percent a year, restoring
them to their former distribution and maintaining their genetic diversity.
Eastern brown kiwi are the least managed and fastest declining of the four regional populations. Establishing a
population of around 100 pairs within five years at Pohokura will make a significant contribution towards the
recovery of this species, Mr Hall said.
For the first three years a sample of kiwi released each year at Pohokura will be fitted with radio-transmitters
so that their dispersal and survival can be monitored.
Mr Hall said he hoped Pohokura would ultimately help re-populate neighbouring areas with kiwi.
"Just as Maungataniwha can now be the source of kiwi to re-stock Pohokura, so we hope that ultimately
Pohokura kiwi will make their way naturally to neighbouring areas such as the Whirinaki Conservation Forest,
which is also being made safe for them."
The Forest Lifeforce Restoration Trust was established in 2006 to provide direction and funding for the
restoration of threatened species of fauna and flora in native forests within the Central North Island. In
addition to the Maungataniwha Kiwi Project the Trust runs a series of native flora and fauna regeneration
projects. These include a drive to increase the wild-grown population of Kakabeak (Clianthus maximus), an
extremely rare type of shrub.

Continued from the Assets Of Lewis Cass Payseur article.Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad Company (The FBI or CIA) – not kidding – this will be fun!
Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad Company was formed by the consolidation of Alabama and Tennessee River Rail Road Company (incorporated under act of Alabama, March 4, 1848), Georgia and Alabama Rail Road Company (incorporated under act of Georgia, February 18, 1854) and Dalton and Jacksonville Railroad Company (incorporated under act of Georgia as Dalton and Gadsden Railroad Company on February 18, 1854) on August 6, 1866.[1] The consolidation agreement was ratified by the Georgia General Assembly on December 13, 1866 and by the Alabama Legislature on February 8, 1867.[2]
The consolidation occurred while Former Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston who had become president of the Alabama and Tennessee River Rail Road Company after the American Civil War. Johnston's tenure as president was from May 1866 to November 1867.[3]
Alabama and Tennessee River Railroad Company had constructed 135 miles (217 km) of railroad line between Selma, Alabama and Blue Mountain, Alabama, including part of an extension of about 22.5 miles (36.2 km) of line from Blue Mountain toward Dalton, Georgia, in 1862.[4]
A. D. Breed operated the line under lease between May 31, 1866 and August 8, 1866 in accordance with a contract to rehabilitate the railroad line and construct the extension dated May 25, 1866.[5]
The Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad Company constructed or reconstructed 100.3 miles (161.4 km) of railroad line between Blue Mountain, Alabama and Dalton, Georgia in 1870.[4]
The rehabilitation of the property after the American Civil War and the construction of the 100.3 miles (161.4 km) extension of the line between Blue Mountain and Dalton was funded mainly by the sale of consolidated first-mortgage seven per cent bonds and second-mortgage seven per cent bonds.[5]
The railroad in Georgia was sold in foreclosure on November 3, 1874 and conveyed to Georgia Southern Railroad Company on March 29, 1876.[2] The Georgia Southern Railroad Company was sold to East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad Company on November 6, 1880.[2] The railroad in Alabama was sold at foreclosure on June 14, 1880 and sold to East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad Company on February 5 and 11, 1881.[2]
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad Company went into receivership on January 7, 1885, was sold in foreclosure on May 25, 1886, and conveyed to East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway Company on June 30, 1886.[2]
The property eventually became part of Southern Railway Company on July 7, 1894, through its acquisition of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway Company.

Woman arrested, charged with vehicular assault in crash that killed 92-year-old
Here's what it takes to get a DUI in the Centennial State. Jacob Laxen, Wochit
A Fort Collins woman was arrested in connection with a crash that killed a 92-year-old woman on her way to church Nov. 10.
Colorado State Patrol troopers say 20-year-old Teah Stebbins was traveling eastbound on Larimer County Road 54G when her Hyundai Elantra drifted into oncoming traffic and crashed into a Toyota Sienna around 9:30 a.m.
A passenger in the Sienna, 92-year-old Neva Lippert, was killed in the crash. The vehicle's driver was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
Stebbins was transported the hospital with serious bodily injuries, including a fractured pelvis and a fractured wrist, according to an arrest affidavit.

Arrest documents say Stebbins had bloodshot eyes and "a strong odor of alcohol emitting from her" when Colorado State Patrol Trooper S.M. Rendfrey interviewed her at the Medical Center of the Rockies.
When Rendfrey asked her if she had been drinking that morning, Stebbins said she went to a friend's house at 1 a.m. and had mixed vodka drinks.
Stebbins has been charged with vehicular assault while driving under the influence, a Class 4 felony; reckless vehicular assault, a Class 5 felony; driving under the influence, a misdemeanor; careless driving resulting in injury, a traffic offense; open container of alcohol in a vehicle, a traffic offense; and driving without insurance.
Stebbins was released from the hospital was booked at the Larimer County jail on Nov. 18 with bond set at $1,500. She remained in jail custody Thursday morning, according to online records. Her next court appearance is a disposition hearing set for 9 a.m. Jan. 2.
She does not have a significant criminal history in Colorado, according to court records.
Lippert had lived in the Fort Collins area since 1966 and was one of the first female Realtors, according to her obituary, which stated she was on her way to church when the crash occurred.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in court. Arrests and charges are merely accusations by law enforcement until, and unless, a suspect is convicted of a crime.

Stat guru Bill James' controversial theories -- according to former Phillies manager Larry Bowa --sometimes might best just be read and then immediately torn up and thrown away. But like him or not, James still continues to exert his influence with over the Red Sox with the team's surprisingly iconoclastic choice of free agent Joel Piniero as leading candidate to be Boston's new closer.
It was James -- Red Sox senior adviser for baseball operations -- who not so long ago put forward a theory that the team could get by with a four-headed closer by committee -- with disasterous results. Even more dubious was James' opinion that based on statistics, any successful pitcher -- regardless of skills type -- can be a closer.
With a high 90s fastball Piniero seems to meet some of the typical closer criteria. But though the 28-year-old former Mariner went 14-7 with a 3.24 ERA as a starter in 2002, and 16-11 with a 3.78 ERA as a starter in 2003, his career mark settled at a relatively mediocre 58-55 with a 4.48 ERA after his stats were dragged down by an 8-13 performance last year and an ERA of more than 6.00. The performance resulted in Piniero's demotion to the bullpen and his being heavily shopped in trade negotiations -- with no takers.
What has caught Boston's attention, however, is that Pineiro held opponents to a .213 batting average in his 15 relief appearances last season, perhaps benefitting from his letting loose with his high '90s fastball without having to worry about pacing himself for a six or seven inning outing. It was a small sample, so the question is, can he do it over the long haul?
James never advocated for a "closer by committee", and he's said so countless times before.
If you read what he has actually written about bullpen usage you'll probably learn a lot.

The impossible problem of where Minecraft goes next
By Rob Guthrie on October 19, 2016, 14:30 7 comments
It's been two years since Microsoft bought Minecraft, and the new owners are faced with a conundrum: what do you do with a game that is already a phenomenon?
Complicating things further, Minecraft is now a seven-year old game. While lot of work has been put into keeping the game current, Minecraft is also beginning to show its age. Mojang developer Nathan Adams compared it to rebuild the engines of a jet in the middle of a flight, because taking the game down to patch it just isn't an option. The tension at the heart of Minecraft heightens when you consider that the developers say difficulties associated with coding the blocky builder sometimes prevents them from adding features that the community wants, like a working API or a server browser.
I got a chance to suss out the future of Minecraft at last month's Minecon, where the community rubs elbows with the people who make Minecraft great. Obviously, that description includes the developers, but it also expands farther into the YouTubers who make hilarious videos, the modders who create new ways to play, and the builders, who create wonderful worlds for others to enjoy as well.
This was at the forefront of my mind when I attended Minecon. Minecraft has always been a community-driven game, and I was curious how Mojang would handle that aspect of Minecraft's identity while also pushing the game into new frontiers.
I met with Saxs Persson, developer for the Pocket and Windows 10 editions of Minecraft, and Max Booty, head of Minecraft, in nearby Marriott hotel. Persson was dressed casually, in a black shirt and jeans. He came off as enthusiastic, prone to geeking out about new tech or features. Booty on the other hand was dressed in a button-down, slacks and came off as more reserved. They couldn't have chosen a better pair to represent Minecraft.
"We want everybody to play with everybody," Persson told me. "Minecraft is better when you can connect to your world wherever you with whatever device." Windows 10 and Pocket Edition players already enjoy cross-platform play, but Persson paints a picture of complete compatibility – console and Java and Win 10 players all connecting and enjoying Minecraft together. In his ideal world, you'd be able to log on to the same persistent server from your iPad, your computer, and your console—a technical and legal hurdle that has been branched in part by games like Rocket League, but full connectivity across all platforms still seems like a lofty goal for Minecraft.
What's more, this idea seems to ignore that the various Minecraft editions floating around all have varying features, something that even the biggest Minecraft fan finds annoying. For example, MCPE is still missing The End, but at the same time it will get additions that Java won't see till later (or ever.) Persson didn't specifically address version mismatches when I asked if feature parity was still a priority, but he also didn't seem concerned about potential version conflicts. "There's not a lot holding us back from connecting these versions, and parity is not the main goal," he said. There is no doubt that this kind of cross-platform play would be popular and welcomed, but I'm skeptical as to how it would actually work. I'm also not sure it's a feature that the community truly cares about.
Persson also enthused about "new input methodologies," specifically the Oculus touch. Actually, VR played a big role in Minecon: the line to try it out was hours long throughout the entire event, and Mojang highlighted it often enough that VR seems to form a centerpiece for Minecraft's future plans.
Virtual reality is still an incredibly niche technology, and Minecraft's hallmark has always been its accessibility—you can run the game on pretty much any device. It's hard to understand how adding a style of play that requires a powerful computer or console and a pricey headset fits with the existing appeal of Minecraft. Community response to VR offerings is and always has been tepid at best, especially among veteran Minecraft players, who remember Notch's quarrel with Oculus in the past.
For now, most of the YouTubers and map makers and modders attached to Minecraft seem pretty happy with their current arrangement—Mojang is still very relaxed about letting people profit off of their game—but some are starting to see the writing on the wall. Long-time Minecraft YouTubers, such as skitscape and setosorcerer, have been moving on to other games or other careers. Map creators like Hypixel have had to adapt and often abandon single-player maps in favor of multiplayer ones, and the often-ignored mod community is starting to feel the strain of an aging game. Each recent patch has created a new set of problems — a recent one, for example, made many large texture packs unuseable, and while a different patch made PvP unplayable for many. With add-ons and an API still a long way off, frustrations continue to mount for some fans.
Mojang's vision for the future of the game and the communities' vision have not always been in line, and you could see the effects of that fissure on the showfloor itself. When I asked how they chose the people that ended up on stage at Minecon—essentially receiving the Mojang stamp of approval—or heading up the panels, Persson and Booty were a little evasive. "There is an active curation [of exhibitors]," Booty said about the people that were invited to attend the event and present, "ranging from trying to stay true to Minecraft's indie roots to working with corporate partners and everything in between." This was an obvious nod to the big name partners like Mattel that were taking up large amounts of real estate on the expo floor. There were plenty of indie names and creators features, but their competition was fiercer. The Minecon docket was stacked with young, high energy personalities who curated an atmosphere of fun and excitement—the old guard, like Hypixel and other creators, were less well represented.
Persson and Booty still recognized, at least in part, the debt that they owed to the the community. "We ask that they come and meet their fans with open arms," Persson said, "as a true fan event, not just a primarily corporate one." Persson and the Mojang team seem eager to signal to their fans that they were still the focus of the event and of their efforts, and that the Microsoft buyout still doesn't indicate a change in direction or an abandonment of their core users. It was a necessary reminder, given that Minecraft's indie origins made some people deeply skeptical of Microsoft's purchase, and these same fans have remained guarded even as the company seeks to reassure them.
Regardless, the Mojang team has actually shown that they are listening to the community in some respects. Minecon saw the first full presentation of the add-on system, which allows players to tweak the behavior and statistics of mobs at first, and will eventually allow wide modification of all entities. Players have been asking for something like this as far back as 2011.
"Add-ons are just the first step," Persson said, confirming that an application program interface, or API, was being co-developed – a feature that would make modding significantly easier. Persson admitted that two previous attempts at creating an API had failed, and that they had brought on the creators of Forge – a popular mod utility – to help them make this attempt stick. This may represent a serious commitment to developing an API, but those promises go back as far as 2009. The community remains skeptical after being burned so many times before.
Minecraft's indie origins made some people deeply skeptical of Microsoft's purchase.
It's also obvious that Microsoft has invested heavily in making Minecraft more than just a video game. Minecraft's developers preferred to use words like "platform", "tool", and "environment" instead of "game," and they were effusive about applications for research, education, and machine learning. "At a high level, we want to maintain Minecraft as an innovation brand," Booty said when asked about his vision for the future of the game. It was a little hard to pin down exactly what they meant by this — it sounds like they want Minecraft to be all things to all people, which, while ambitious, sounds like a recipe for failure.
Despite the abundance of buzzwords, Mojang's description is a telling indication of Microsoft's concerns over their $2.5 billion investment. Minecraft is a completely unprecedented phenomenon, and so too is a massive buyout of an indie game by a major corporation. Minecraft has already conquered video games, so it seems natural that Microsoft and Mojang now want to create something that supersedes gaming.
Everyone I talked to at Minecon was excited about exactly one thing—meeting their heroes, whether that was one of the developers, a popular YouTuber, or a modder. As far as the fans are concerned, the future of Minecraft will always be with the people who make the game great, not fancy technology. Mojang has loftier goals, though it's hard to say if VR and added connectivity truly hold the key to where Minecraft goes next. Then again, predicting the future is no easy task.

Poynton Brass Band Senior Cup Success
The Vernon Building Society Poynton Brass Band battled against 20 other bands in the British Open Spring Festival Senior Trophy on the 15th May in Blackpool and emerged victorious as the 2019 champions. They were one of four bands to be promoted to the Senior Cup, led by Ryan Watkins, principal trombone of Brighouse & Rastrick. Judges Ryan Breen and Dave Lea pronounced them the 'clear winner'.
Band chairman Frank Needham said: 'Our success in claiming the Senior Trophy further confirms the substantial progress the band has made in the last couple of years with MD Stig Maersk. We are fortunate to have some very talented soloists and a dedicated team of players.'
Adam Pemberton of the Vernon Building Society's marketing team said: 'It is always an absolute pleasure to hear the band perform and to hear that they won such a prestigious award is just a testament to the talent of the band members. We continue to be a proud sponsor of the band and I look forward to their next performance.'
Following the contest and concert season, the Poynton Brass Band is recording another CD in November and hope to compete in the Wainstones Cup later in the year.

A beach, a cocktail, and a stunning vista overlooking the ocean, when you've found the perfect beach avec bar, you'll never want to leave. That is just fact. Luckily the BVI has a myriad of alluring watering holes peppered along its sugar-dusted shoreline. From rustic shacks bursting with charm to floating bars out in the open azure, there's plenty to choose from for that 'grab the sarong, I need a drink' moment. Here's our pick of the top beach bars in the BVI.
This beach bar is world renowned for its raucous entertainment and legendary landlord Bomba. Donned the king of the original full moon party, Bomba certainly knows a thing or two on how to get a party started. Set on a stretch of beautiful white sand located in Capoons Bay on the north shore of Tortola, this ramshackle bar was built in 1976 by Bomba's own fair hands. The results; an eclectic, ever-changing spot perfect for swigging Bomba's punch concoction while getting down to those Caribbean vibes.
At Foxy's, on the island of Jost Van Dyke, every day is a party. Let the man himself (Foxy that is) entertain you with his calypso rhythms and tales of the BVI, as locals let you in on the islands best beaches and secret spots. Known as the barefoot island, Jost Van Dyke is home to endless stretches of beautiful white sands and crystal waters, such as great harbour beach where you can find Foxy's friendly drinking-hole. While away the evenings sipping on sweet concoctions made with Foxy's homemade rum or a freshly brewed beer from the bars own micro-brewery. It doesn't get more Caribbean then this.
Floating in the Bight of Norman Island is where you'll find the Willy T. Surrounded by the endless azure waters with awe-inspiring views of Norman Island; the bar is modelled on the trading ship from the early 20th century. So park up your yacht and hop aboard for conch fritters and spicy chicken wings as the glowing sun sets beyond the horizon.
This aptly named bar is perched on the beautiful Vixen Point beach on the northern side of Virgin Gorda island. A bar that encapsulates the barefoot beach vibe, all you would want to do here is flop on the gorgeous white sands surrounded by the calm crystal clear waters. Work up an appetite snorkelling in the secluded bay then dine on locally sourced seafood and honey dip chicken washed down with delectable rum cocktails, sounds like paradise? Well, it just might be.

Q: Props not being passed down to Material UI button text I have a scenario in my app where I use data attributes on buttons to capture certain contextual information in the modal that is launched by pressing the button. This relies on the data attributes being available on e.target.dataset. The problem is if I click on the part of the button with text, the target is a  that appears to be generated by Material-UI but which doesn't contain the props I passed down to the button.
Here's my button implementation (Button.js) [SmallButton and LargeButton are styled versions of the Material Button]:
const Button = ({ buttonText, buttonSize, handleClick, pink, ...props }) => {

  return (
    <>
      {buttonSize === 'large' ? (
        <LargeButton
          variant="contained"
          fullWidth={true}
          size="large"
          onClick={handleClick}
          pink={pink}
          {...props}
        >
          {buttonText}
        </LargeButton>
      ) : (
        <SmallButton
          variant="contained"
          size="small"
          onClick={handleClick}
          pink={pink}
          {...props}
        >
          {buttonText}
        </SmallButton>
      )}
    </>
  );
};

This is where the button is used:
<AddContainer flexDirection="column">
        Add {type}
        <Button
          buttonSize="small"
          buttonText="+ Add"
          pink="true"
          data-show-only={lowerCase(type)} // this needs to come through in e.target.dataset when button clicked
          onClick={launchModal}
        />
      </AddContainer>
      <ModalContainer
        open={open}
        context={context}
        handleClose={closeModal}
        initialScreen="Add Exercise"
        addWorkout={addWorkout}
      />

The context object above should include a property called showOnly. Here is the custom hook where we create the context object.
const useModal = (initialValues = {}) => {
  const [open, setOpen] = useState(initialValues);
  const [context, setContext] = useState({});

  const launchModal = e => {
    const targetContext = { ...e.target.dataset };
    setContext(targetContext);
    setOpen(true);
  };

  const closeModal = e => {
    setOpen(false);
    setContext({});
  };

  return {
    open,
    context,
    launchModal,
    closeModal,
  };
};

If I click on the outside of the button, this works as designed, with e.target.dataset containing a showOnly property that is passed on to the context object. If you click on the text, e.target is a  and e.target.dataset is empty.

A: You want to use currentTarget instead of target.
From https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event/currentTarget:

The currentTarget read-only property of the Event interface identifies the current target for the event, as the event traverses the DOM. It always refers to the element to which the event handler has been attached, as opposed to Event.target, which identifies the element on which the event occurred and which may be its descendant.

Here's a little example that you can use to see the difference in the console logs:
import React from "react";
import Button from "@material-ui/core/Button";

export default function App() {
  return (

      <Button
        data-test="1"
        onClick={e => {
          console.log("target", e.target.dataset);
          console.log("currentTarget", e.currentTarget.dataset);
        }}
      >
        Hello
      </Button>

  );
}

He said he wanted to remind people racism and hatred "still exist," but now the truth is getting in the way of his message.
Cavil's claim resulted in the customer being banned from returning to the restaurant, but now he's admitting his story wasn't true.
After the restaurant worker's story spread everywhere from local news outlets to The Washington Post, Cavil said Monday he was the one who wrote the racist message on the dinner ticket.
The owner of the steak house originally stood by Cavil, issuing a statement of support. But the restaurant's chief operating officer, Terry Turney, issued an updated comment after Cavil admitted his story was a hoax.
Turney has also contacted the customer in question and invited him back for a free meal.
Before he fessed up, Cavil's story was really picking up steam. Not only has it spurred a conversation about racism in America — his stated goal — but it also led many on social media to offer money to Cavil, who is working to save money so he can attend college in Dallas this fall.
The money he had received so far totaled around $1,000.

8 Fitness Trends to Look Out for in 2023
Personal Trainer and Fitness Expert Wed, Nov 02, 22
Written by Nicole Taylor on Nov 02, 2022
It's that time of year again! New Year's resolutions are being made, and people are eager to get back in shape after all the holiday indulgences. If you're looking to stay ahead of the curve, here are 8 fitness trends to look out for in 2023:
1. Virtual Reality Workouts
Virtual reality workouts will become more popular as technology advances. You'll be able to sweat it out in exotic locations or with your favorite celebrity trainer without even leaving your living room! Workout trends went through some revolutionary changes during the COVID-19 times, and they seem like they'll stay.
Virtual reality workouts are so convenient and enjoyable. What else could one ask for?
2. Tabata Training
Tabata training is a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) method that is becoming increasingly popular. The fitness world is constantly in flux. While trends come and go quickly, some manage to stick around for a while. Recently, we've seen the rise of HIIT workouts, wellness retreats, and at-home fitness gear. So what can we expect in 2023? Fitness experts say Tabata is bound to stay.
Tabata is a form of interval training that alternates between 20 seconds of intense exercise and 10 seconds of rest. This type of workout can be adapted to any fitness level and is an effective way to improve cardiovascular health, build muscle, and burn fat.
Tabata training can be done with any exercise, but it is particularly well-suited to HIIT (high-intensity interval training) workouts. HIIT workouts are short and intense, making them perfect for people who are short on time.
Moreover, research has shown that HIIT workouts can be as effective as longer workouts in improving cardiovascular health. As a result, Tabata training is likely to become even more popular in the coming years.

3. Wearable Technology
Interactive fitness technology is becoming increasingly popular as people look for ways to stay healthy and fit. From smartwatches that track your steps to fitness apps that monitor your heart rate, a variety of wearable devices can help you reach your fitness goals. And this trend is only going to continue in 2023 as more and more people adopt wearable fitness technology into their lives.
There are several reasons why wearable fitness tech will become more famous in 2023. First, as health and wellness become increasingly important to people worldwide, they will look for ways to incorporate fitness into their daily lives.
Second, as technology progresses, these devices will become more affordable and easier to use. And third, as the global population ages, people will search for ways to stay active and healthy into their older years.
So if you're looking to get fit in 2023, keep an eye out for the latest and greatest wearable fitness technology!
4. HIIT Workouts
HIIT workouts and Plyometric exercises, in general, will continue to be popular because they're an effective way to burn calories in a short amount of time.
High-Intensity Interval Training, or HIIT, alternates between short bursts of intense activity and rest periods. Plyometric exercises are a kind of HIIT that involve explosive movements, like jump squats or box jumps. This type of training is effective because it helps improve both cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength.
Additionally, HIIT workouts can be customized to suit any fitness level. For these reasons, HIIT with plyometric exercises is expected to be one of the top fitness trends for 2023. However, they will become more targeted and individualized as people strive to maximize their results.
5. Building a Smart Home Gym
Building a smart home gym will become more popular as people invest in quality equipment they can use at their convenience. This trend is driven by the increase in at-home workouts during the pandemic.
Home gyms are bound to stay in demand because they help busy bees work out even when there isn't much time on their schedules. They can hit a few reps of important exercises without going out of the house. The fast life of the 21st century syncs with a home gym perfectly.

6. Mini Workouts
Mini workouts will gain popularity as people realize that they don't need to spend hours at the gym to see results. These quick, effective workouts can be done anywhere and fit easily into a busy schedule.
Though people are busy most of the time, awareness around health and fitness is reaching new heights. People want to mend their ways toward health and fitness, and mini workouts are perfect for people short on time. Plus, the easy-to-do at-home workouts, with easily available fitness gear, such as a yoga mat, resistance bands, or dumbbells, will become more common.
7. Outdoor Exercises
Outdoor exercises with social groups will become more popular as people seek ways to socialize while getting their fitness fix safely. This trend combines the benefits of working out outdoors with the camaraderie of exercising with friends.
Home gyms and mini workouts are great, but socializing is one of the primary instinctive needs of humans. And that's where outdoor exercises come in. With technological advancement hitting new records and people becoming busier, safe socializing for important purposes is an excellent investment. This is why outdoor exercises with social groups will be among the top fitness trends this coming year.
8. Leveraging Virtual Classes
Leveraging virtual classes will continue to be popular as people seek convenience and variety in their workout routines. You'll be able to take classes from the comfort of your own home, which is incredibly convenient if you live in a cold climate or have transportation limitations.
Everything that saves time, from mini workouts to virtual ones, will be famous in the coming year.
1. What is the next big fitness trend?
The global fitness industry is seeing a significant shift towards wearable technology, with devices like fitness trackers and smartwatches that count steps, monitor heart rate and caloric intake, and track sleep patterns.
2. What are some emerging fitness activities?
One of the most emerging fitness activities is mind training and the body. Demand for psychological and mental health benefits will propel new fitness trends in 2022, including yoga, Pilates, breathing exercises, mindfulness, meditation, and broader mental health training.
3. Is the future of fitness online?
The future of the entire world and everything in it is online, let alone fitness. For gyms to stay afloat and keep up with the competition, gym owners need cutting-edge software to manage their facilities.
What fitness trends will you be trying in 2023? With so many fun and innovative options, it's hard to choose just one or two to focus on. Perhaps you're most excited about building a smart home gym so you can work out no matter the weather outside. Or maybe you want to join a social group that meets for outdoor exercises together – that accountability could be just what you need to stay on track with your fitness goals.
No matter which of these eight fitness trends you decide to pursue next year, we hope they help you reach your health and wellness objectives.

Do people with Parkinson's disease smell different?
Written by Tim Newman on March 21, 2019 - Fact checked by Jasmin Collier
Using the skills of a "super smeller," researchers have identified how Parkinson's disease alters the way a person smells. They hope that the discovery will help aid early diagnosis.
A recent study investigated the links between odor and Parkinson's.
Parkinson's is a progressive neurodegenerative condition.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimate that around half a million people in the United States are living with the condition.
Parkinson's disease tends to affect older adults.
The population of the United States is growing older, so the number of Parkinson's cases is likely to increase in line.
Despite decades of intense research, there is still no cure for the condition, and there is no reliable diagnostic test.
The need for new diagnostics
Currently, treatment cannot begin until the telltale motor signs, such as tremor and rigidity, appear. However, the breakdown of nervous tissue starts around 6 years before people notice any clinical signs.
Finding a reliable way of diagnosing Parkinson's disease earlier would mean that treatment could begin sooner and, perhaps, that we could keep the condition at bay for longer.
Doctors have used odor to aid their diagnoses for centuries. For instance, some people claim that scrofula smells similar to stale beer, while typhoid fever produces an aroma reminiscent of baked bread.
However, until recently, no odor had been associated with a neurodegenerative condition of any kind.
Introducing Joy Milne
Joy Milne is a "super smeller." These people are hypersensitive to aromas and particularly adept at discriminating between them. In 1986, doctors diagnosed Parkinson's disease in Milne's husband, Les. Since then, Milne has been able to distinguish a specific odor associated with Parkinson's.
Recently, a group of researchers teamed up with Milne to try and distinguish what chemicals might be causing this particular odor. They recently published their findings in the journal ACS Central Science.
Firstly, the scientists needed to pin down where the smell originated. They noticed that it was most intense on the upper back and forehead but not the armpits. This means that the odor is probably not from sweat but from sebum, which is a waxy liquid that sebaceous glands in the skin create.
Scientists already know that the production of sebum increases in Parkinson's diesease; they call this seborrhea. Led by Perdita Barran, the researchers set about trying to understand what chemicals in the sebum might be causing the changes in odor.
Next, the team collected sebum samples from the upper backs of 60 individuals. Some people had Parkinson's disease and some did not.
A 'musky' aroma
Using mass spectrometry, the scientists analyzed the sebum samples to identify any chemicals that were elevated in people with Parkinson's disease. They demonstrated that there was a significant difference between the volatile chemicals in the sebum of people with Parkinson's disease and those without.
Three compounds seemed to play a key role in the distinct aroma: hippuric acid, eicosane, and octadecanal.
Crucially, there were no significant differences between people with Parkinson's who were taking medication and people with Parkinson's who had never taken medication for the condition. This means that the change in odor is probably not due to medication.
When the team presented these chemicals to Milne, she was able to identify the "musky" aroma of Parkinson's disease.
The scientists carried out this study using a limited number of participants, so they will need to continue their work. However, they are hopeful that this might be a unique way of detecting Parkinson's much earlier than is currently possible. They write:
"Identification and quantification of the compounds that are associated with this distinctive [Parkinson's disease] odor could enable rapid, early screening of [Parkinson's disease] as well as provide insights into molecular changes that occur as the disease progresses."
Why the change in smell?
The researchers did not design their study to find out why hippuric acid, eicosane, and octadecanal levels are elevated in the sebum of people with Parkinson's disease. However, the authors discuss some possible causes.
For instance, earlier studies had confirmed that there are links between various skin conditions and Parkinson's disease. The authors explain how some research suggests that certain microbes are more common on the skin of people with Parkinson's.
Malassezia spp. — a yeast present on human skin — often appears in increased amounts in people with Parkinson's.
According to the study authors, these changes in yeast and bacterial populations may alter skin microflora and physiology in ways that are "highly specific" to Parkinson's disease.
These findings open the door to an entirely new way of approaching the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease; they might also offer fresh insight into how the condition progresses.

Who is ready for tacos, and MORE TACOS!?
Join us for the 6th Annual Milwaukee Taco Fest!
Due to the event's growth, we have moved the 6th Annual Milwaukee Taco Fest to Henry W. Maier Festival Park! Located at 200 N Harbor Drive in Milwaukee, WI. More room to enjoy tacos!
The 6th Annual Milwaukee Taco Fest will benefit The Salvation Army through support of Dinner In The Ally - Hosted by Echelon MKE [ and ] the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation, Inc.
// What are Taco Tickets? Why do you use them?
Taco tickets are considered your taco-currency. Taco tickets are what you will give a vendor in trade for one of their delicious tacos. Vendors will be collecting all of the tickets they receive throughout the event, which in return are counted to see who sold the most tacos, as well as how many total tacos will have been consumed! Local vendors get money back from each ticket that they collect to help them cover their taco costs and make some money at the event.
// Can I buy more Taco Tickets at the event if I need any or run out of what is included in my ticket package?
Additional Taco Tickets can be purchased at the event for $2 per ticket.
Swarmm Events Presents the 6th Annual Annual Milwaukee Taco Fest in 2019! This year's event will take place at 11AM on Saturday, June 22nd at Henry W Maier Festival Park. Created 6 years ago, Taco Fest has been bringing together local Milwaukee restaurants for a day of taco tasting, tequila, margaritas, cervezas and tons of great entertainment. The event will feature lucha libre wrestling from Mondo Lucha! Attendees vote for their favorite tacos (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) and cast their ballot to see who wins the title of Milwaukee's Best Taco! Last year, over 9,945 tacos were consumed. Prepare your stomachs!
Swarmm Events has been bringing new and exciting events to Milwaukee since 2013!
Swarmm's most well-known event, The Shamrock Shuffle, is undoubtedly Milwaukee's Largest St. Patrick's Celebration. During the Shuffle's 10th Year this past March, the event safely brought together over 11,000 attendees from 29 different states to celebrate in 5 areas in Milwaukee. The 400 person Jig Jog 4K run also happens on this same day. Swarmm had its 5th Annual Milwaukee Taco Fest at State Fair park selling out to 2,000 attendees and then sold out Milwaukee WingFest in September at State Fair Park with 1,500 attendees. Every December, Swarmm Events organizes the 12 Bars of Christmas, a "drink-for-a-good-cause" event benefiting Hunger Task Force, Inc. which had over 3,000 attendees this past year In Milwaukee and Madison. Swarmm also is also the organizer of the Milwaukee Oktoberfest; a 3-day festival full of live German music, vendors, beer, and food. Milwaukee Oktoberfest celebrated its 9th year as the first event to be held on the Plaza outside of the Fiserv Forum. Lastly, Swarmm Events throws one of the best New Year's Eve parties in the city, Brew Years Eve at the Milwaukee Athletic Club, which sells out each and every year. Swarmm Events has also created the Cream Puff 5k and the Young Milwaukee Holiday Gala events.
The goal of Swarmm Events is to continue to expand on events in the Milwaukee market and help create more cultural events for young professionals, families, and tourists to attend.
Swarmm Events owner Michael Sampson has raised over $128,300 for local charities since 2010, and continues to make charity and giving back to the community one of Swarmm's main goals as a company.

Tommy Robinson supporter attacks BBC film crew and fans hurl smoke bombs after EDL founder KentBrockman ## Reporter 07/12/19 (Fri) 01:19:30 No.244230
A furious Tommy Robinson fan attacked a BBC film crew while supporters hurled smoke bombs after the EDL founder was jailed for nine months today.
Robinson called for protests after he was found to have "encouraged mob rule" when he breached a reporting restriction to live-stream a video outside a child grooming trial.
And far-right protesters set EU flags on fire and hurled bottles at police as ugly scenes erupted outside the Old Bailey this afternoon after Robinson was jailed for contempt of court.
As he was caged, the ex-EDL leader told his fans: "Sentenced to prison for journalism.

National Institutes of Health Director Francis S. Collins is the keynote speaker for virtual university commencement
Francis Collins. Photo courtesy of the National Institutes of Health
National Institutes of Health Director Francis S. Collins M.D., Ph.D. will address the Class of 2021 as the keynote speaker during the university's virtual commencement ceremony.
Collins has been a key figure in the response to COVID-19. He is the only presidentially appointed NIH director to serve more than one administration.
Appointed and sworn in as NIH director in 2009, Collins oversees the work of the largest supporter of biomedical research in the world, spanning the spectrum from basic to clinical research.
He has become one of the most recognizable faces in the fight against the pandemic, possibly second only to Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He is Fauci's boss.
Collins will speak during Virginia Tech's virtual ceremony on Friday, May 14. The event will begin at 6:15 p.m. with a pre-ceremony, and commencement exercises will begin at 6:30 p.m. To recognize the Class of 2021, the university is hosting both an online ceremony and smaller, in-person ceremonies by college. The online ceremony can be viewed online at vt.edu/commencement.
Before becoming one of the most prominent voices during the pandemic, Collins was known for his landmark discoveries of disease genes and his leadership of the international Human Genome Project. He served as director of the National Human Genome Research Institute at NIH from 1993-2008.
Collins is also an elected member of both the National Academy of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in November 2007, and received the National Medal of Science in 2009.
In 2020, he was elected as a Foreign Member of the Royal Society and was also named the 50th winner of the Templeton Prize, which celebrates scientific and spiritual curiosity.
In addition to being a world-renowned scientist, Collins is also known for his musical talents. The guitar player and songwriter plays in a band with current and former NIH officials called The Affordable Rock'n'Roll Act.

CNH Industrial Expands Construction Equipment Production in Iowa
The new production line in Burlington, Iowa, will produce CNH Industrial construction equipment for the capital goods company with the creation of 50 full-time jobs and an investment of $24 million. This line will be added to the company's existing footprint in Burlington, Iowa to produce a complete range of dozer products for Case Construction Equipment and support the region's construction needs.
CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNHI / MI: CNHI) announced it is investing $24 million to expand production in Burlington, Iowa with the addition of the company's crawler dozer production line. The capital goods company is increasing its existing presence in the city by adding the new production line to its manufacturing plant.
This expansion will create approximately 50 full-time jobs. Preparations will begin later this year and production on the new line is expected to begin in the second half of 2015.
"With the growing demand for quality construction equipment, we are pleased to announce that production in Burlington, Iowa will be expanded," said Bret Lieberman, CNH Industrial Vice President of Manufacturing, North America. "We look forward to creating a state-of-the-art production line that will continue CNH Industrial's tradition of providing high-performing equipment to the construction industry."
The machines are currently produced at the Calhoun, Ga. plant which will close in the third quarter of 2015 as the company adjusts its construction operations. Moving the production line to Iowa is consistent with CNH Industrial's long-term strategy to optimize its manufacturing footprint and achieve a lean, flexible industrial operation that delivers best-in-class response to the CNH Industrial brands' customers around the world. The production transfer is contingent upon completion, and approval, of all State and local incentives and grants.
The production facilities will include a new dedicated paint line, welding and computer numerical control (CNC) machining equipment, and a dedicated assembly line. The Burlington plant, home to more than 600 employees, has manufactured equipment for CNH Industrial's brands, since 1937. In addition to producing Case Construction Equipment, the plant's employees produce agricultural equipment for the company's Case IH and New Holland brands.
CNH Industrial has 12 manufacturing plants, 12 research and development centers, and a workforce of 10,000 people in North America. The company designs, produces and sells 'machines for work' and is present in all major markets worldwide giving it a unique competitive position.

Damnation Falls
Author: Edward Wright
Randall Wilkes, his big-city journalism career in ruins, has returned after twenty years to Pilgrim's Rest, the Tennessee hill town where he grew up. He has taken on a lucrative but low-prestige writing job for Sonny McMahan, a former governor and Randall's boyhood friend. Faye McMahan, Sonny's mother, is addled with age, imagining that her dead husband is alive and worrying that her son might be in danger. Amid a violent autumn storm, Randall finds Faye hideously murdered, hanged by the neck from a bridge over the town landmark called Damnation Falls. Within days, another person connected to the McMahan clan is murdered in an even more grisly fashion. And the bones of a third, long-buried murder victim - a young woman - have emerged from the earth. Randall's ties to the victims force him to acknowledge debts that go back decades. Drawing on his investigative skills and his roots in the region, he sets out to discover who is behind the killings. His search takes him the length of the state - a land once split by civil war, where history lies close to the surface and tales of murder and betrayal weigh heavily on the town of Pilgrim's Rest. Before all the answers are in, more people will die, an old score will be settled and the dead will finally tell their stories.
