Hay-on-Wye, also known as The Town of Books, is a small market town in the historic county of Brecknockshire in Wales. Normally a sleepy village abounding with specialist bookshops, independent stores and cafes and delis selling handmade Welsh goodies, once a year it becomes flooded with visitors from far and wide, all heading to the famous Hay Festival.
This year the festival will take place between Thursday, 23 May and on Sunday, 2 June, with speakers including Bryony Gordon, Elizabeth Day and Matt Haig, as well as a whole host of creative workshops. Tickets are still available and the programme can be viewed here.
However Hay is much more than just the backdrop for the festival, its a brilliant holiday destination all year-round, whether you're looking to get active and soak up the natural beauty or indulge in a weekend of shopping.
Here's our insider's guide on how to make the most of this enchanting town.
The River Wye is by far one of the most beautiful rivers in the British Isles and one of the few you can navigate by canoe, without restriction, for well over 100 miles. Canoes can be rented by Want to Canoe?, while Interactivities and Outdoors@Hay can offer guidance on adventure activities around the town.
Hay-on-Wye accommodates for every taste at any time of day, with eateries offering a range of locally sourced food and drink including Hay Deli, Richard Booth's Bookshop Café, Tomatitos Tapas Bar and Restaurant, The Old Black Lion, The Old Electric Cafe, The Swan at Hay(www.swanathay.com), Shepherd's Ice Cream parlour, and just out of town, The River Café on the bank of the River Wye where some of Hay Festival's A-List guests have been known to frequent.
From the Wye Valley walk, to exploring the Brecon Beacons National Park, to wandering the famous Offa's Dyke Path, Hay-on-Wye is the perfect base for outdoor exploration. During the festival there are guided tours of Hay-on-Wye and the surrounding areas, led by local experts and writers – check the festival programme for more details – plus bikes are available to rent year-round via Drover Cycles.
Hay-on-Wye is the second-hand bookshop capital of the UK with over 20 independent booksellers offering a broad selection of new, second-hand, and antiquarian titles. Highlights include Richard Booth's Bookshop, The Poetry Bookshop, the newly opened Green Ink Booksellers and Balch & Balch, and the Instagram-friendly Addyman Books and Murder & Mayhem (pictured).
Hay-on-Wye is also home to a wide range of independent clothing and lifestyle outlets, plus the famous Fair on the Square, which runs in the town centre during the festival selling locally grown produce and crafts – highlights include Bartrums Stationary and Fine Pens, Mostly Maps, Haymakers, craft beer specialists Beer Revolution, Llewelyn and Company interiors shop, Great English Outdoors, FW Golesworthy's, The Table Gallery, Rawhide, and The Old Electric.
From a country house that dates back to 560AD (Llangoed Hall) to repurposed shipping containers (Caboose & Co), to camping and glamping beneath the stars, Hay-on-Wye offers accommodation for all tastes and budgets.

2021 German Federal Election: What does it mean for Cambodia?
With the Merkel era over – how will Germany work with ASEAN and Cambodia in the future?
Photo: © German Bundestag/photothek
While the September elections in Germany have not yet yielded a confirmed successor to Angela Merkel, the overall direction of Germany's involvement in the Asia Pacific region has been outlined by her government in late 2020 already (download strategy paper here). More engagement in and for rules based trade and investment will see the region gain relevance as one of Germany's most important economic partner blocs. In its Cambodia policy, not much change is to be expected while it will take months for the new government in Berlin to consolidate, and to define its own priorities and strategies for the country's position within its global development and economic policies.
"We wait and see how these results impact the German engagement here in Cambodia in terms of its development policies, and its approach to trade and investment", says Tassilo Brinzer, President of the GBC. "The German business community will certainly continue to grow its business in Cambodia. Our companies and brands are here for the long term, and everyone I speak with looks forward to the reopening of the country, and to renewed growth following the Covid-19 impact on the region and Cambodia. We see increased opportunities in business with and from Vietnam and Thailand, and hope that closer regional cooperation will lead to more partnerships with the German business communities there."
The most likely successor to Germany's popular chancellor Angela Merkel is her previous finance minister, Olaf Scholz from the Social Democratic Party (SPD). Not able to rule alone with a result of 25% of the votes, a likely outcome is that a coalition between the Green Party and the Liberal Party (FDP) will be negotiated during the coming months. Some of these partners' political ambitions were announced during the past months, and might well be reflected in a new government's coalition agreement. The Green Party will push for a stronger stance against climate change, for a stronger defence of human rights – and, it is more China-critical than Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU).
Both of these policy directions might be reflected in upcoming strategies on development aid, and economic trade preferences. The traditionally business-friendly FDP will continue to advocate for open trade and a liberal economy following the Covid-19 crisis impact in Germany. To this end, the party wants to lower corporate tax to 25%, invest in the digital transition and delay the highest income tax rate to salaries above Euro 90,000 per year.
China plays a significant role in German politics today – as it does in ASEAN, and in Cambodia. "The more China-critical the new coalition government will be, the more ASEAN's strategic importance will rise for Germany," says Alfred Gerstl, a specialist on Southeast Asia international relations at the Palacky University in the Czech Republic in a recent commentary for Deutsche Welle (DW).
This would especially be the case if the Greens, the most China-critical party in Germany, joins a coalition government, which many analysts expect it will, Gerstl explained.
Due to the Greens' strong focus on a human rights-led foreign policy, Germany's relations with the likes of Vietnam and Myanmar could suffer as a result, Gerstl said. It remains to be seen where Cambodia stands in this context.
Meanwhile, Jürgen Rüland, an expert on Southeast Asia at Germany's University of Freiburg expressed in the same article that the next German government may also move supply chains away from China; a trend being carried out by governments worldwide and exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis.
"This may result in an increasing diversification of [German] foreign direct investments and a reallocation of production lines from China to Southeast Asia," Rüland said. With the right strategy and policies in place, Cambodia could become a beneficiary of Germany's electoral outcome.

Il Ferlo (noto anche come Bounoum) è un fiume dell'Africa occidentale (Senegal), tributario di sinistra del fiume Senegal).

Ha origine da alcuni modestissimi rilievi nella parte orientale del Senegal, scorrendo poi con direzione mediamente nordoccidentale. Il suo bacino idrografico si estende su una vasta area nella parte centrale del Senegal (alla quale ha per estensione dato il nome (Ferlo), caratterizzata da topografia prevalentemente piatta e monotona e clima tropicale semiarido, con una corta stagione piovosa estiva e una lunga stagione secca caratterizzata dall'influsso di masse d'aria continentali (harmattan).

A causa del clima arido del suo bacino, il Ferlo ha una portata d'acqua apprezzabile solo durante la stagione delle piogge, al culmine della quale può arrivare ad alimentare con le sue acque il lago di Guiers, le cui acque raggiungono poi il fiume Senegal. Per la restante parte dell'anno, che corrisponde ai mesi invernali e primaverili, il Ferlo va completamente in secca.

Emily Owens, MD: Cancelled, No Season Two
by Trevor Kimball, November 29, 2012
The Mob Doctor has essentially been cancelled and now The CW has officially cancelled Emily Owens, MD. The network has revealed that they won't be adding to the initial 13 episode order and won't be asking for a second season either.
On the positive side, all 13 episodes of Emily Owens will air. Hopefully this means that faithful viewers will get some kind of closure to the drama's ongoing storylines.
The news doesn't come as a surprise. Emily Owens got off to a poor start and the ratings haven't improved. This season's Arrow has proven that the tiny network can still produce new hit shows — at least by their ratings standards anyway.
Emily Owens, MD revolves around a young physician who discovers that her new workplace isn't all that different from her days at high school. The series stars Mamie Gummer, Justin Hartley, Aja Naomi King, Kelly McCreary, Harry Lennix, Necar Zadegan, and Michael Rady.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the show? Are you sorry to hear that it's been cancelled? Why do you think it failed to attract a bigger audience?

They shouldn't have cancelled the show. It's really good. So disappointed to find out it has no second season. 🙁
Just completed watching Season 1 and was disappointed to find out that the who was cancelled. Poor decision.
I am defiantly disappointed that this show was cancelled. Just got done with the first season on Netflix and looked up when the next season was coming out because I wanted to see what was next. The show was defiantly great and wish there could be someway to continue it. Really want to know what happens next!
Terry McGreevy
I am very disappointed that this show was cancelled. I thought it was great, and the acting was superb. A bunch of idiots made a poor decision.
Really should reconsider a Season 2. I really enjoyed watching. The cliffhanger on the last episode had me wondering what the solution to the love triangle would be.
This show was amazing! Can NOT believe it was cancelled!!!
When I started watching Emily, I was immediately hooked.i finished season 1 in 2 days and it's a shame to see it goes no further. Reminded me a little of Grey's anatomy. Would have loved to see what happened next…could have been poor advertising.
virginia herrera
I never heard of the show until Netflix and I watch a lot of T.V it was probley poor advertised but this could of easily been a Netflix show the end of the last episode had me wanting more and once I realized this show was made in 2012 I just new there wasn't going to be no more episode's which totally suck they had great actors and good story telling.
There should be a season 2 this series was very good and it ends in a cliffhanger and I really REALLY want to know what happens next
I came across this on Netflix and was hooked immediately. If the show didn't do well, I believe it's because it wasn't properly advertised as I had never even heard of the show prior to now. I also tend not to watch shows I can't watch on demand later because of my schedule and CW doesn't put shows on demand. I can't afford DVR and such, and definitely not back then either when it originally aired. It did remind me a lot of Grey's, however I love Grey's and appreciated that it didn't crossover into that particular territory specifically. I… Read more »
Reply to Amy
I honestly agree
Toni Hession
I am so diasppointed finally a program I could actually enjoy and you cancel it. Shame on you.
I was heart broken when my daughter that inspires to become a medical doctor and found a show that shows her the medical side but then had a story line that was catchy. I hope it comes back even years later
I really love the show, I believe that is should have a season 2, I am very disappointed.
Reply to Emily
I love the Emily TV show, Would love to see it come back. The characters were great and the story line made want to see the next episode. Thanks Netflix! More, PLEASE
Jennifer Pinillos
I loved the show! I was checking to find out when the next session was going to be uploaded to Netflix. So disappointed!
Brittney Taylor
I was upset when I found out there won't be a season two of Emily Owens M.D. I just finished the tv show and I loved it. I just don't understand why it got canceled.

Q: Outer envelope to a group of polygons I have a GeoJson file which has multiple polygons.
Something like this.

I use Leaflet to render this GeoJson in a website.
I want to draw an outline around the polygoins that envelopes all the polygons. Something like this.

Format of GeoJSOn i am using :
{
"features": [
  {
    "geometry": {
      "coordinates": [
        [
          [
            1074.426,
            -1136.986
          ],
          [
            1088.241,

  },

}
Any pointers will be helpful :) Thanks

A: Your looking for the "convex hull":

In mathematics, the convex hull or convex envelope of a set X of points in the Euclidean plane or in a Euclidean space (or, more generally, in an affine space over the reals) is the smallest convex set that contains X.

Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_hull
You can do that with Turf.js convex method:

Takes a Feature or a FeatureCollection and returns a convex hull Polygon.

Reference: http://turfjs.org/docs/#convex
Example:

var map = new L.Map('leaflet', {center: [0, 0], zoom: 0});

var collection = turf.featureCollection([
    turf.polygon([[[-80,-80],[-40,-80],[-40,-40],[-80,-40],[-80,-80]]]),
    turf.polygon([[[80,80],[40,80],[40,40],[80,40],[80,80]]])
]);

new L.GeoJSON(collection, {color: 'red'}).addTo(map);

var polygon = turf.convex(collection);

new L.GeoJSON(polygon, {color: 'black', 'fill': false }).addTo(map);
body {
    margin: 0;
}

html, body, #leaflet {
    height: 100%;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <title>Leaflet 1.2.0</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="//unpkg.com/leaflet@1.2.0/dist/leaflet.css" />

</script>

A: @Shaswat, you are right about convex hull missing inner point. So I tried with turf.union:
const turf = require('@turf/turf')

const originGeojson = require('./SECCIONES_13_geo.json')

const totalUnion = originGeojson.features.reduce((union, feature, index) => {
  if (!union) {
    return turf.polygon(feature.geometry.coordinates)
  }

  try {
    return turf.union(union, turf.polygon(feature.geometry.coordinates))
  } catch (err) {
    return union
  }
})

console.log(JSON.stringify(totalUnion))

But it produces somethin like this, lots of holes inside.

The code itself is not correct, for the catch block, which is just a way to get through the entire list. The error in the catch is:

Error: Each LinearRing of a Polygon must have 4 or more Positions.

I'd really appreciate if someone can share the correct way to resolve this.

A: I managed to do that, but using TopoJSON. I post a video here.
First I tried using the "union" function in tuffjs. But it is extremely slow (I have a very detailed geojson).
So I switched to topojson. First you need to convert your geojson to topojson. Then use the "merge" function in topojson-client library. The merge returns multipolygon, but it is way simpler than the original geometries.
Then you need to do additional processings in the code, to remove some polygon that falls within other polygons.

Saturday September 24 municipal members of the Cantabrian towns of Camargo, Astillero and Villaescusa walk through the historic stretch of road that connects them to assess on the ground the different measures that could be taken to enhance it, as the organization of scheduled departures. According Emilio Gómez, Councillor for Tourism in Camargo, the authorities want to claim a historical route not want to lose and partly still retains signs.
It is understood that this historical route, of great anthropological and cultural value, according to the mayor, is compatible with the Camino de Santiago del Norte, may become a possible alternative for pilgrims. Thus at the output of the field Saturday will be analyzed to study possible services or infrastructure to help promote it as a tourist and cultural value.
In the case of Camargo and Astillero, both received this summer along with other a certificate of officialdom as localities of the Northern Road, recognition that stood out Villaescusa, despite having been a point of passage past the primeval way Cantabrian municipalities.

Ben Roethlisberger: James Conner still deserves playing time when Le'Veon Bell returns
Written By Gabrielle McMillen
(Getty Images) https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/omnisport/8c/a1/james-conner_10or47wxlgb1k17175u1h2ewxs.jpg?t=-1329104187&w=500&quality=80
If all goes according to plan, running back Le'Veon Bell will return to the Steelers during the Week 7 bye and play in Week 8.
So what does that mean for second-year tailback James Conner? Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said it shouldn't change Conner's role with the team too much, since he's earned his spot.
"I think James has done some amazing things and deserves to be on the field," Roethlisberger told the media Wednesday, via ESPN.com. "We also know what Le'Veon is and what he brings to the table. I guess we'll cross that bridge if and when it happens."
Bell has been a holdout during the entire offseason and this season so far after the Steelers placed the franchise tag on him for the second year in a row. He has yet to sign the $14.5-million tag, but that could change if he reports to the Steelers during the bye week.
NFL monitoring lawsuits against Steelers' Antonio Brown
Meanwhile, Conner has stepped up in Bell's absence, rushing for 342 yards and five touchdowns along with 239 receiving yards.
According to Roethlisberger, Conner has steadily improved from his rookie season and has continued to do so, even when his performance is a little shake.
"If you look at the overall picture of what we've asked him to do every week, I think it's been going up every week," Roethlisberger said. "I think that's what gets lost in what a running back [does] and what he's been doing — pass blocking, picking up the blitz, catching out of the backfield. I don't want to jinx anything, but he's catching almost everything I'm throwing to him, and he's in the right spot all the time quickly."
If Bell were to return during the team's Week 8 game against the Browns, a combination of him and Conner in the backfield could be very effective.

Turns out that the police patrol Taganga during normal business hours but depart at 8:00pm at which time all hell breaks loose. We heard from several people who got mugged while visiting Taganga; both at knife and gunpoint. We were specifically warned about walking to the beach; you can either walk on a short trail (apparently this is a VERY common mugging spot) or take a taxi ride (highly recommended). We were lucky and didn't have any trouble but beware if you go.
Nick has wanted to hike Ciudad Perdida for a few years; he says it's because a friend did it and loved it; I personally think it's because a girl was kidnapped there in 2003 and since they have a strong military presence (he just loves getting into trouble!). Anyways, these days it's part of most people's Colombia itinerary.
The trek is 46.6 kilometers round trip and can be done in 4, 5, or 6 days depending on preference. We chose the 5 days hike; opting for a slower pace as we would be hauling our stuff along with us. Well, Nick would be hauling his stuff. Ever since my bag was sliced in Ecuador I have failed to replace it; our travel company promised they had one for me to rent but it never showed up so my garbage bag full of clothes rode on the mule. Lucky me!
Our first day started immediately with a grueling uphill hike followed by a torrential downpour for the remainder of the day and into the night. The rain caused us to slide all over the place in the mud and it turned the trail into a river.
By the time we reached camp we were soaking wet and starving. Camp was a covered building filled with hammocks that were covered by mosquito nets. We spent the evening chatting with the other hikers (there were about 30 people at camp on the first night but only 7 of us were doing the 5-day trek together).
For some reason the mule that carried my bag showed up to camp hours after we did so I was forced to wear a stranger's stone-washed jeans and our cook's sweatshirt while attempting to dry my clothes.
Day 2 started with a photo shoot of us playing with the birds that lived in our camp. Lola was my favorite; she liked to drink my coffee and bite my nose.
Day 3 was also fairly relaxed. We got into camp early (more hammocks to sleep in which I found to be miserable since it's impossible get into a comfortable sleeping position) and we got to soap up in the river. Good thing because mildewy, wet clothes and body odor were proving to be an epic combination.
Our evening ended with more shithead and "good chess". Trying to sleep in the hammocks proved especially challenging as I had Eddie on one side and Nick on the other and they were so close that every time I adjusted to get comfortable, I bumped into them and woke them up. There were beds available as well but we heard a nasty bed bug rumor and opted against them.
Day 4 was a long one; we started early with a hike up to the Lost City which included climbing 1200 stairs. Prior to starting the hike we had heard that the scenery along the way was beautiful but the city itself was not so impressive so our expectations were low. We were pleasantly surprised by the ruins when we got to the top; granted, it's no Machu Picchu, but the ruins were modest, well maintained, and most importantly not overcrowded with tourists (the country only allows 100 visitors to the Lost City per day).
The night before the trek I lost the last game of shithead and as punishment I had to take off my shirt and yell "I'm a shithead" at the top of the ruins. So I'll likely never be invited back.
The rest of our day 4 hike and our day 5 hike were just heading back to where we started but we would take only 2 days to complete what we did in 3 on the way up. So our days started early and our hikes were long and challenging. By the forth night we were all a little tired of playing shithead and switched to "yaniv". After playing only 5 rounds we agreed that it was boring and promptly returned to our beloved shithead.
By the time we finished the hike it was around noon on the fifth day; we were hungry, sweaty, stinky and exhausted. I wanted to squeeze in a good workout and chose to run the last 3 miles, so I would like to think I was the stinkiest of the crew. We ate our last lunch together, had a few beers, and started the 2 hour drive back to Santa Marta. We were sad to part ways with our new friends but were happy to have a proper bed, air conditioning, and a shower.
Tayrona is one of those must-see places in Colombia that seems totally unreal! It has some of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. Unfortunately, I think it might also be one of the hottest places I have ever visited.
Because it is a National Park you'll need to hik in – which is actually great because it means you can enjoy nature an the beaches have still not been built up or commercialized. However, the camping situation is rather persnickety – it's first come, first served, no reservations and you have to wait in a long line to get either a hammock (they seemed to be the most popular) or a tent (which was pretty gross considering how many people sleep on the pads and how sweaty you get in a tent in the morning).
We hiked in and boated out (the boat ride out was VERY bumpy. Wait, bumpy is an understatement, we almost died! On the day we were planning on leaving Tayrona National Park there was a rather large swell. The bay itself is protected so the waves weren't all that big near the shore but to get out of the bay you had to cross a rather menacing break.
We had to be back in town so our friend could catch their flight out so we really didn't have a choice. We all loaded up on the boat and away we went. The boat driver took us out towards the break and started trying to time the waves. He would rev the boat up to full speed and head out but at the last minute he would change his mind and circle back towards shore.
FInally he thought he saw an opportunity (or maybe he just lost his patience). He gunned it for the massive waves and then he realised he hadn;t timed it correctly. He started to turn the little boat and then a huge wave broadsided us.
We all thought we were going over but when the wave passed we did a head count ansd everyone was still there, albeit soaked to the core (along with all of our stuff).
We then spent a couple hours on the boat back to Taganga dodging waves and trying to not run out of gas. Whew!

After partying hard with our friends in Taganga and Tayrona we decided to take a couple of weeks off of alcohol. Unfortunately, this aligned with our time in Cartegena which seems like it would have been a pretty fun city to do some drinking in.
Still, we made the most of it visiting the Inquisition Museum which shows the gruesome history of the Spanish Inquisition in Colombia. We also walked the walls of Cartagena which offered us beautiful views of the city.
The highlight of our time though was visiting the beaches of Cartagena! We took a day trip to Isla del Encanto; a lovely little island off the shore of Cartagena with white sand beaches and turquoise water.
We stayed in the Finca Escondida Hostel.
We stayed at Oscar's Place.
I'm not sure if it's because I was over South America in general after spending 6-ish months there and being robbed twice, or if I just wasn't that into Colombia. By the time we got to Colombia, I was at my South American wits end. I don't think I gave it the chance it deserved.
We heard a few horror stories but for the most part we felt Colombia is safe for tourists and didn't have any issues. As a whole Colombia is working hard to improve their reputation and increase tourism and indeed I felt safe-ish most of the time. Except in Taganga. Beware of Taganga. We will most certainly be back in the future to give it a proper, untainted visit.

You Decide what 'C' Stands For, by Sarah Davies
Sarah Davies is the author of You Decide What 'C' Stands For, a book written about her experience of her mother's ovarian cancer diagnosis. She shares with Ovacome what writing the book has meant to her and what she hopes it will bring to others whose lives have been affected by the disease.
"I had been caring for Mum 6 months prior to her death, I could not leave her in the house on her own as she was so unwell. It was during this time I decided to write my book 'you decide what 'C' stands for. It gave me a purpose and focus. I wanted to help raise awareness of ovarian cancer, this is something I am passionate about. 10 % of all profits from the book will go to Ovacome."
"My darling Mum died in March 2020. I had written and had my book published by December 2020. It was a difficult plight, yanking memories from my fragile mind whilst my grief was so raw, memories I had tried to bury."
"The driving force for me was all the women and their families still fighting this lonely battle. I wanted them and my Mum to be acknowledged."
"The synopsis of my book is as follows:
You Decide What 'C' Stands For delves into the emotional experience of a daughter and her mum as they travel a lonely and devastating journey through ovarian cancer.
Written from the daughter's perspective, the main aim of this revealing book is to raise awareness of one of the disease. Its mission is to empower all women and their loved ones who endure this overwhelming and devastating slog.
Designed to take away the confusion of jargon, the author has also taken time to offer simple explanations used within the world of ovarian 'C' terminology. She also shares tips and ideas that brought comfort and support during her mum's experience.
From the initial numbness of the words said to her mum: 'I'm sorry you have 'C' through the rollercoaster ride that navigates their uncontrollable voyage, the author has left nothing out. Her story is raw, emotional, and honest from start to finish.
You Decide What 'C' Stands For strives to help if you are in a similar situation. What you are feeling is 'normal'. This is a time when you are facing your biggest fears and you're at your most vulnerable. A time when nothing makes much sense in your world. You are never alone. Despite what you think.
This is a story of a mother and daughter's love and their changing roles as the 'C' is enforced upon them and shatters any threads of normality. This is a survival story of determination and the unwavering bravery of two remarkable women. It will help you in ways you can never imagine."
"My book is available to buy on amazon: paperback or kindle version."

Q: MVC auto generated create page with a date throws non-null item required I have a simple table with a non-nullable date field. The field has a default value of GetDate() in the DB.
The DB table is brought forward via EntityFramework,
When I let the MVC 4 templates auto-generate a create.cshtml page for that table it works but when I try to run that table I get the error:
The model item passed into the dictionary is null, but this dictionary requires a non-null model item of type 'System.DateTime'.
CSHTML file:
@model MyModel.Content

        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.ActiveDate)

        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.ActiveDate)
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ActiveDate)

The EF auto-generated class:
public partial class Content
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public int CategoryID { get; set; }
    public string Content1 { get; set; }
    public bool IsActive { get; set; }
    public System.DateTime ActiveDate { get; set; }
    public System.DateTime DeactiveDate { get; set; }
    public System.DateTime LastEditDate { get; set; }
    public string LastEditor { get; set; }

    public virtual ContentCategory ContentCategory { get; set; }
}

This doesn't seem like that unusual of a way to do this. Shouldn't the templates be able to deal with creating a new non-nullable date?
What must I do to get around this?

A: The way I deal with this is to use nullable DateTimes on my viewmodel and set the [Required] attribute on them, so that if the model validates, then I can guarantee when I copy the values to my entity model and save the data, then it will succeed.  This way you can keep your entity model(what is saved to the database) as a non-null datetime.
The other option is to provide a default value for the datetime if there is something sensible, based on other data or based on current datetime.  For example, defaulting ActiveDate to the current date, so that by default it begins to be active now.
Otherwise the first option is the best, because you don't want to provide a nonsensical default like 1/1/0001

Dragon Ball Super: Broly Parent Guide
A fine film for fans but for everyone else? Not so much.
When an evil Frost Demon has seven Dragon Balls stolen, Goku and Vegeta must battle to get them back. And by battle we mean flex, yell, punch, and kick throughout almost the entire film.
Violence B-
Sexual Content A
Profanity A-
Substance Use A
Why is Dragon Ball Super: Broly rated PG? The MPAA rated Dragon Ball Super: Broly PG for prolonged frenetic sequences of action and violence, and for language
Official Movie Site
by Keith Hawkes
The latest installment in the extensive Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super universe sees extra-terrestrial Saiyans Goku, Vegeta, and their friends enjoying some time off on a beautiful island. Sadly, their holiday comes to an abrupt end when thieves steal six of the seven wish-granting Dragon Balls on behalf of Frieza, a villainous Frost Demon. When the heroes confront him, Frieza reveals his new allies : Broly and his father, Paragus, both of whom are immensely powerful Saiyans . Who will win in the duel between these powerful adversaries? Can Goku and Vegeta best the untamed Broly?
If none of that made much sense to you, then join the club. As someone who hasn't seen an episode of the show since he was seven, I struggled to connect the dots in this story. If, however, you're a long-time fan of the series, then you will surely enjoy this fast-paced exploration of new power levels, Saiyan history, and nearly an hour of the punching, screaming, and flexing which I remember so dimly from my childhood.
Despite my confusion with the plot, I can offer some qualitative observations about the film. I was pleasantly surprised to see that much of the movie has been hand-drawn, which is increasingly rare and wonderful. I'm not trying to bash Disney/Pixar's intricately rendered computer animation, but there's a very warm quality to hand-drawn animation which you can't quite get on a computer. Unfortunately, some of this movie has been computer generated, and it stands out like a sore thumb against the rest of the animation. Unless you're careful to match the styles, there isn't really a good way to mix animation and CGI. The difference in lighting and textures is a great way to pull your audience out of the drama and remind them that someone somewhere doodled that spaceship/explosion/planet on a PC and had it rendered.
Another plus for this film is that it managed to get a PG rating from the MPAA. There is almost no profanity, sexual content, or drinking. The violence is extensive and frequent, but heavily sanitized. Characters grunt when hit, or their clothes get torn up, but there is no blood or serious injury shown. This actually makes trying to figure out when a fight is going to end difficult, as characters seem to be able to pound on each other endlessly until the plot decides to wrap it up.
Pluses aside, this isn't a film that was made for me. I was never much into the TV show, which makes following the intricacies of the Dragon Ball universe difficult. However, the film's targeting of hardcore fans seems to have paid off.: the theatre was packed full on a Wednesday night, and when credits rolled, it got a round of applause from the audience. Clearly, the film's real super power lies in the loyalty it inspires from its fans. It's not likely to appeal to anyone else.
Directed by Tatsuya Nagamine. Starring Sean Schemmel, Christopher Sabat, and Chris Ayres. Running time: 100 minutes. Theatrical release January 16, 2019. Updated April 16, 2019

The classic novel about aliens on earth is, of course, H G Wells' The War of the Worlds, written in 1898. Its radio broadcast in 1938 caused a panic when listeners believed the drama was real.
Sci-fi legend Arthur C Clarke's novel, Childhood's End, tells the story of apparently peaceful aliens who govern earth from orbiting spaceships.
Stephenie Meyer's Host, features aliens who are decidedly not friendly. These aliens colonize not just the planet, but the bodies of their human hosts. Fortunately, there are some with the power to resist.
I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore follows aliens who came to earth to hide from, and ultimately fight and defeat, their enemies. But their enemies find them first…

Japanese animators have a distinctive style. Those looking for animated Japanese films that are suitable for family viewing can start with Ponyo, the story of a mermaid-like creature who wants to be human. The Secret World of Arrietty is the story of a tiny family that lives underneath the floorboards of a Japanese home, similar to the tales in The Borrowers books. The Red Turtle tells the story of a castaway who meets the titular red turtle. This story has no dialog and unfolds entirely through animation. Perhaps the best known film in this genre, Howl's Moving Castle, is an adventure involving a curse and an enchanted moving castle.

Canadiens Goaltending
Who Backs Up Price?
By Ryan Szporer September 28th, 2016
With four different Canadiens goalies slated to suit up over the team's first preseason games, Habs fans will at least get a glimpse of Carey Price's future back-up. They just can't be sure of who it will be.
The mysterious netminder's identity isn't so secret that it can't be logically deduced. Granted, little is guaranteed, but, considering two are waiver-exempt, Zachary Fucale and Charlie Lindgren—in spite of the latter's show-stopping save against the New Jersey Devils on Monday—they should be destined for the minors.
Oh my, Charlie Lindgren pic.twitter.com/ref3p7xv5b
— Marc Dumont (@MarcPDumont) September 27, 2016
Ditto for 19-year-old Michael McNiven, who's expected to play the lion's share of net for the Ontario Hockey League's Owen Sound Attack this coming season.
That leaves just Price, last year's de facto starter in Michael Condon and free-agent-signing Al Montoya as the remaining goalies in this year's camp. So, under the assumption that Price's job is safe (it is), the latter two should battle it out for one of the cushiest jobs in hockey (if not all of sports).
Montreal Canadiens goalie Al Montoya – (Icon SMI)
However, it's almost as if the result has been pre-ordained. Oh, it's possible Condon retains his spot riding the pine with the big club. It's just unlikely the Canadiens would have gone out and signed a goalie who posted a 2.18 goals-against average and .919 save percentage last season, going 12-7-2, if they didn't want to go in that direction from here on out.
As alluded to earlier, either Montoya or Condon would have to go through waivers if they're cut prior to the start of the season. That, again, is assuming Montreal doesn't want to keep three goalies on its roster. Seeing as that extra roster spot would be better served securing the rights of, say, Sven Andrighetto up front or one of Mark Barberio or Zach Redmond on defense, that's just logical.
So, the Habs have the option of exposing either Montoya or Condon, who posted seriously inferior numbers last season, to waivers. On the surface, even after just a few preseason games, it's a laughably easy decision: Send down the guy who sucked last season.
However, delving deeper, it's not so simple, beginning with the fact that Condon wasn't as bad as his numbers suggest. Sure, his puck-handling wasn't great and it compounded the team's problems scoring, but, considering the impossible situation he was thrust into, replacing Price behind an at-times AHL-caliber line-up, he did all right.
Condon vs. Montoya
Mike Condon – (John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports)
Ideally, Condon would post a higher save percentage than the .903 he did last season. That's downright bad, even for a back-up.
However, it should be noted in three of his last five seasons, Montoya posted one below .900. If you look at his last four full seasons, he's alternated between great and horrendous. Following that same pattern, this next campaign is due to be bad.
Now, trends can be broken. Habs fans know this firsthand through their experience with Price himself. Up until he broke out as one of the world's best goalies in Sochi in 2014, he enjoyed up-and-down success that was mostly down, with one great season followed by two mediocre ones. That trend persisted through two complete cycles over the first six years of his career, but it's been put to bed now. A Hart Memorial Trophy tends to make everyone sleep easier at night.
So, Montoya is definitely capable of keeping his success from last season going. However, seeing as Price posted a .905 save percentage, just two points higher than Condon's, as recently as 2012-13, no one should write Condon off yet either. Condon may not be the Calder Memorial Trophy candidate with the starting potential many believed he had early on in 2015-16, but he can still be an effective NHL goalie.
So, should the Habs expose a 26-year-old goalie to waivers in order to save a 31-year-old one who's battled consistency issues throughout his career? It's not as cut and dry as you might think, especially with the Habs pretty close to the salary cap and Condon making nearly half of Montoya's salary.
Both will be unrestricted free agents come the end of the season. However, it's imperative the Habs spend this preseason properly assessing who really belongs behind Price so as not to lose the right goalie prematurely. They may have great goaltending depth, but it can get pretty thin—perhaps needlessly so—in a hurry.

She only served coffee drinks with six flavors of syrup. But customers' remarks of "I wish you had pastries" or "This would be great with hazelnut syrup" quickly expanded her larders. She didn't want to leave any customer out. Soups and chili dogs soon appeared for those wanting to make their drive-thru experience a bit more hearty.
For the two years she ran her business out of the shed, she admitted she always liked the building across the street, whose owners had an empty room attached to the main space. It would be perfect for a drive-thru, but she said the owners weren't looking to rent out. About three weeks later, Taylor said the tune changed. In 2007, she bought the building and started her drive-thru service there.
With the larger space and kitchen came more food options to the menus. First, the breakfast sandwiches were popular (even more popular, Taylor said, when they started frying eggs instead of scrambling them like many commercial breakfast places). Many of their lunch equivalents followed. Her fiancé, Tom Marcano, is the chef, the baker, the repair man, and Taylor's right-hand help.
After a particularly busy Wednesday shift, she cradles hot tea in a mug, stamped with a quote that matches her customer service attitude: "A stranger when you arrive, a friend when you leave."
Taylor's customers have become more than lunch orders. They've decorated the space with handcrafted gifts (for sale) that decorate the wooden shelves lining the dining room, some of the enamel cups that hold the napkins on each of the mismatched tables and other various knick knacks.
They're the ones who sign "the book," a journal near the order window in which customers sign their names and comment on their experience, more personal than a comment on a Facebook wall (though the restaurant has that, too).
They're the people Taylor credits with giving her the energy to run the place.
"I love what I do, and when people recognize that, it feels so good," she said. "I never (dreamed) that the community would embrace it as much as they did."
One Saturday afternoon, a friend and I decided to make our first trip ever to Cup-A-Jo, a yellow cottage-esque building I had only glanced at driving down Upper Front Street heading toward Binghamton from Chenango Bridge. The mural painted along the outside wall grabs my attention: An owl, mug of coffee in wing, ushers people through the "rush-thru" window.
The menu written in neon colors on the chalkboard at the breakfast-and-lunch eatery is already pretty extensive. In pink and green, it boasts four different breakfast sandwiches (ranging from $4 to $7.95), eggs whichever way you want daily-changing soups, salads and seven different lunch sandwiches.
What makes each order customizable is the list of extras, nearly as long as the list of menu items. Your peanut butter and jelly sandwich is missing bacon? Want a side of sausage with your bagel? Taylor and her small but talented kitchen staff can fix both of those problems for an extra $2.50 each. Even that list can be bent: Taylor said there were two European customers that ate their sandwiches with a side of pancakes. They later told her it was the "best food they've had in America."
Then there's the drinks. Let's start with the coffee, the elixir that inspired Taylor to start Cup-A-Jo in 2004. If you think there's only hot or iced coffee, think again. Jake's Java Roasting Company in Binghamton mixes up more than 20 coffee blends that Taylor uses in her lattés, espressos, cappuccinos and iced and hot coffees. Loose, organic teas, smoothies and tapioca-studded bubble tea round out the selections.
Everything, down to the pastries and quiche, is made fresh daily with ingredients from local purveyors. Most of the menu, Taylor said, comes right from vendors and shops on Front Street.
A loud bell atop the door rings in your entrance to a medium-sized, eclectic and pleasant dining room. The unmatched tables and chairs add to the homemade, vintage feel Taylor later said brings back memories for a lot of her older clientele's childhood kitchens. Artwork and other crafts — from blown-glass pumpkins to pressed flowers — double on the walls from Taylor's customers double as salable art.
Three pairs of people are occupying as many tables, indulging in their own coffees and lunches. Throughout our meal, Taylor stops by each table, asking how the food is, sometimes sitting down to join a conversation.
Taylor greets us at the window and takes our order — for me, a tuna melt with additional bacon and a black iced coffee; for my friend, a loaded "Almost Famous" chicken salad melt complete with bacon and tomato and a bottle of water. She offers that we try the golumpki soup, a menu item that changes every day, which would satisfy the lunch combo rules of a sandwich, soup and a small drink for $5.99 each. We'll take two, please and thank you.
We seat ourselves in some overstuffed chairs, resting our drinks on an Adirondack-y log table. We move to a more traditional wooden dining set-up when the food arrives: Cups of steaming tomato-based stew balanced between halved sandwiches slightly oozing their melted stuffings onto the dishes. The soup is hearty, made spicy with hot sauce (Taylor intentionally does not over-salt or over-spice her dishes to make it more palatable for more people).
With colder weather approaching, the hot food and warm atmosphere at Cup-A-Jo would be perfect to tuck into. That, and the tuna melt.
Kristen Roby's regular Southern Tier Eats column will return in November.

Campaigning for the Future
Organizing People Activating Leaders
OPAL is a grass-roots organization aiming to build bases, fortify movements, and activate leaders in BIPOC and low-income communities.

OPAL brings attention to movements which impact BIPOC and low-income communities.
Youthpass to the Future
Youthpass is currently only available to high school age youth in the PPS school district which is predominately white and affluent. Students in David Douglas and Parkrose in East Portland, which are predominately BIPOC and low-income don't have access to free transit- limiting their ability to get to school, jobs, extracurricular activities, safer spaces, and their communities. The LGM 2020 Measure would ensure that all youth in the region would have access to free public transportation
Let's Get Moving 2020
Visit the campaign website
A successful community is built on a solid foundation of social infrastructure. It's essential to invest in good schools, libraries, and parks that serve everyone in the community, but what if you can't safely get there because there's no way to cross the busy street, the bus doesn't get you to work on time, or you can't afford a car? The transportation investments included in Measure 26-218 will radically improve and transform the ability for people of all ages and abilities to walk, roll, and access transit to get to work, school, parks, grocery stores, libraries, medical appointments, places of worship, and -- most importantly -- back home. Bus Riders Unite and Youth Environmental Justice Alliance, and member-led bases have endorsed Measure 26-218.
What we fight for
Environmental Justice Values
Frontline Leadership – The people most impacted should be fairly treated, and meaningfully involved in decision-making.
Self Determination – No one can claim to represent us. We speak for ourselves: youth, bus riders, renters, everyone.
Solidarity – Our organizing and campaigns must work to end all systems of oppression.
Environmental Justice Demands
Racial Justice – Black, Indigenous and people of color's (BIPOC) ability to move safely through public spaces, educational institutions, personal spaces and inform decisions that impact them is a human right!
Gender Justice – Trans, non-binary and womxn identified people's ability to move safely without fear of sexual harassment, assault, or unwelcome and non-consensual actions is a human right!
Accessible Spaces – Ability-centered, green public spaces, culturally-relevant food, and sustainable, thriving-wage employment in our communities is a human right!
Climate Justice – Clean air, water, and soil in communities resilient to climate change is a human right!
Transportation Justice – Safe, accessible, affordable, efficient, and decriminalized mass and active transportation is a human right!
Housing Justice – Safe, accessible, affordable, dignified, and stable housing choice is a human right!
The OPAL office is located in the notable Jade district of the unceded territory of Portland, OR. A comprehensive map of the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island in this area is available here.

Readers Chime In: "Why vSphere is King..."
Does VMware vSphere provide enough value for the price?
The answer is a resounding "Yes!" VMware vSphere 5 provides enough value for the asking price. I think what many IT professionals are still struggling to come to terms with is that virtualization is not just another piece of software, it is not just another application. Virtualization is the new infrastructure, so carefully selecting it is not a matter of price -- it is a matter of flexibility and agility. Selecting a virtual infrastructure is a decision you make after examining the supporting products for this infrastructure, after designing your strategy and where you are trying to go from a business standpoint. It is not about IT, it is about which infrastructure to deploy that allows IT to respond to the business's needs effectively.
Let me give you an example: In the old days when I worked in IT in corporate America, we would get HP, Cisco and many other manufacturer briefings. They would come in once a quarter, once a year, etc., and do a deep dive with us into what their new platform offered and why we should continue to use them. I remember when HP (or was it Compaq? now, it doesn't matter) for example introduced the ability for us to hot-swap memory while the server was powered on (not that I ever even tried it). The first thing that came to my mind was, "this is cool; can I add more memory to my SQL Server (yeah, right) without powering it down? No interruption in service?" I automatically connected the technical feature with a business use case for it. What I am trying to say, is we chose infrastructure that was flexible and allowed us to offer something different to the business -- in this case, no down time.
Some of us are still treating virtualization as a server consolidation play. Virtualization has moved beyond server consolidation and containment and more into the cloud, into a highly virtualized, highly automated and orchestrated infrastructure that provides services on demand. If you subscribe to this school of thought, then you can't look at the hypervisor isolated from everything else.
The hypervisor is at the core of many other services that compliment it and serve your goals. Again, when making this decision consider security: How are you going to address security in a virtualized world? How are you going to address antivirus? What about virtual networking? That is important, no? That is the handoff that connects everything; you best make sure that your virtual infrastructure has high support from networking vendors and high support from the hypervisor vendor as well. Should I bring up storage? If networking is important for connectivity, the world revolves around storage. In a virtualized world, it is all about storage and storage integration. That will govern your performance and your ability to be agile. I can go on for a while and talk about orchestration and automation, about monitoring, etc.
Now, some of you will say, all of them have this support. Do they really? Make sure you demo all these products and how well they integrate together. Many companies go through acquisitions and some go through several, so how well are these products integrated after those events? Furthermore, what is this company's plans for these products? How will they evolve? What is their vision and where are they planning on taking you? Ask yourself: Are they innovators or imitators?
Let's move on to another question: Am I forced to make poor choices because of VMware's new licensing model?
We all beat VMware very hard it released its initial licensing model. I was not at a loss for words and for those that claim I am advertising for VMware, please read my blog on licensing before VMware revised it. No, I was not very nice. That being said, VMware has changed its licensing and has positively responded to its customers. What else do you want? The new licensing model is a fair model. Again, we have to examine why VMware changed its licensing model to start with. The old one was based on cores and CPU chip manufacturers were about to overrun VMware's licensing models with more cores per CPU. It is the natural hardware evolution, so the licensing had to change. They seemed to get it wrong the first time around, but they addressed it adequately the second time around.
Now, if you are having a hard time with the new licensing model, it is more than likely because you have not subscribed to the cloud model yet and are still treating virtualization as though we're in a version 1.0 world, where virtualization was all about being a server consolidation play. VMware's strategic vision is cloud. As a result, this licensing model is closely aligned with the new unit of measure in the cloud -- VMs.
If you do not subscribe to this vision or your organization is not interested in it, then maybe you are right, you should look at an alternate hypervisor that suits your needs and vision and there are plenty out there that are great.
Do other hypervisors provide good capabilities for less cost?
Absolutely, there are other hypervisors out there that provide fantastic performance, great capabilities and features at a less expensive price point. You are spot on: Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer, Red Hat Linux are a few that I can name that I have extensive experience with. I can say without a shred of doubt that these can deliver excellent virtualization infrastructure if what you are looking for is a simple server consolidation play.
Microsoft Hyper-V 3.0, for example, will now have support from Cisco with the Nexus 1000V, so these features will slowly make their way to all hypervisors. The question is, can you wait and how long? The bigger question is, will your business wait?
Can VMware keep its lead in technology without ratcheting up costs every release? I feel like in a year we'll be talking about how we need Enterprise Plus Plus Plus licenses per vCPU divided by vRAM, times VM count.
Yes, absolutely. VMware cannot keep raising the price of vSphere, it just does not work or make any sense. It's why you'll see add-on products like vCloud Director, vCenter Operations and others that complement vSphere in a tightly integrated way.
In VMware's defense, they introduced Enterprises Plus once. There haven't been that many Enterprises Plus license models introduced and if I was a betting man, VMware will start adding more features into these editions without a price change. It might be a model similar to Citrix's Subscription Advantage, where, if you have support you get the updated version for free.
What is VMware's strategic vision?
One reader commented that he has asked VMware many times for its vision and in return he has received a wishy-washy answer. For starters, you probably asked your VMware sales rep. Some of them are good and can deliver the message and answer your questions, while some are just order takers, the "what would you like today, sir?" kind of rep. I would not pose this question to my sales rep. A few ways to understand VMware or any other tech company's vision, for that matter, is to attend conferences like VMworld. Another, easier way is to seek out an executive briefing where you get to interact and listen to the company's strategic vision from non-sales reps.
VMware as a company is focused on the cloud -- all its efforts, all its products are aligned to conquer the cloud space. At VMworld 2011, it was very clear from the product announcements, positioning and messaging that all VMware cares about is the cloud. As a result, its virtual infrastructure is no longer positioned or suited for customers who are looking only for server consolidation and that is it. If that is what you are looking for, then I am telling you: vSphere is not the product for your business. If you are looking beyond that, then vSphere is most certainly your only choice. It's just my honest opinion.
I applaud Red Hat's efforts in this space and I think the acquisition of Qumranet in 2008 was the right move and has significantly improved its virtual infrastructure. I just don't see it having a significant effect. Red Hat in my mind will always spell Linux and while it could virtualize Windows very well, it is going to be very difficult in my opinion to persuade someone away from VMware to RHEV. I think Hyper-V and XenServer have more mindshare and are better positioned to take advantage of a virtual infrastructure swap. Although RHEV has some really cool features coming out soon, I just don't see Red Hat changing the landscape very much.

Notre Dame men's basketball prepares for tough road test
Liam Coolican | Wednesday, December 4, 2019
The Notre Dame men's basketball team will take on another top 10 opponent on the road Wednesday night when it faces the No. 3 Maryland Terrapins as part of the Big Ten-ACC challenge. After losing their season opener to then-No. 6 North Carolina on the road, the Irish have won six straight matchups at home.
Irish head Coach Mike Brey noted how much the team has improved since that North Carolina matchup.
Nola Wallace | The Observer
Senior guard Nikola Djogo, senior forward John Mooney, senior guard T.J. Gibbs and graduate student guard Rex Pflueger watch from the sidelines Nov. 21 during 64-62 Notre Dame's victory over Toledo.
"I think we've come leaps and bounds, and I thought we were really good that night," he said. "We played on a big stage in a tough atmosphere right out of the gate, and we weren't quite ready to finish, I'd like to see us finish one now."
Brey also talked about how talented Maryland is.
"They're really good," he said. "They're on a roll right now, they're confident. It's a great opportunity for us."
This game is a homecoming for some of the Irish team, as sophomore guard Prentiss Hubb's hometown is just outside of College Park, and Brey is from Maryland as well. He even grew up rooting for the Terrapins.
After a 91-66 victory over Fairleigh Dickinson last Tuesday, Brey commented on the improved play at home.
"Home identity. You've got to start there," he said. "Those were six games in 17 days. We had a little bit of everything happen, and we had game pressure on us."
However, the Irish now need to go on the road again to face a team that is averaging 81 points per game.
"Going on the road to play these guys, it's an opportunity for you, it [helps our] strength of schedule," Brey said. "[We're] more confident. Our defense will be challenged because [Maryland is] really a gifted offensive team."
The Terrapins are led by senior guard Anthony Cowan Jr., who is averaging 17.1 points per game. Brey had high praise for Cowan.
"He's a big time winner. [He] really makes them go," he said. "[Graduate student guard] Rex [Pflueger] will start on him, but a lot of guys have to guard him, we [might] change defenses to throw him."
Maryland also boasts a stout defense. In their last game, a 21 point victory over Marquette, the Terrapins limited Marquette guard Markus Howard, college basketball's leading scorer, to just six points on 1-12 shooting. Brey commented on what the team needs on offense.
"We're going to have to score," he said. "If we can't shoot it solidly from out there, then we're not going to beat good teams."
Notre Dame is shooting a solid 42% from three-point range this season.
The Irish's experience in the front court will be key in this matchup, given Maryland has a relatively young front-court and often plays four-guard lineups. The Irish are led by senior forwards John Mooney and Juwan Durham, who are averaging 14.3 and 8.3 points respectively, to go along with 13 and seven rebounds per game.
Bench scoring will also be very important for the Irish as sophomore guards Dane Goodwin and Robby Carmody, and sophomore forward Nate Laszewski are all having breakout seasons and provide the Irish with valuable depth. After the win over Fairleigh Dickinson, Brey praised their performance.
"Goodwin and Laszewski coming off the bench and being aggressive are going to be important for us moving forward, so hopefully they are more confident to do it regularly," he said.
The contest will tip-off at 7:30 p.m. at the Xfinity Center in College Park, Maryland.
