Bill Clinton has announced that he will match all donations – dollar for dollar – to the Clinton Foundation until June 25.
"In my travels around the world, I've seen too many people who don't have the tools they need to strengthen their communities and create a better future for themselves and their families," said Clinton in a recent email to Foundation supporters. "In Rwanda and Malawi, many children are still unable to go to school, many parents can't afford improvements to their homes, and many farming communities remain at the mercy of the weather.
"Our work is already starting to make an incredible impact in these countries, and I'm certain that, together, we can help them build a stronger future. And that is all because of you.
"Because you refuse to look away when someone is in need, and refuse to assume someone else will solve a problem, we've been able to help thousands of farmers in Rwanda and Malawi increase their yields, find better prices for their harvests, and create a more stable future for themselves and their families.

Fort Drum infantryman accused of killing wife, police officer
by Travis Allen Jul 11, 2017
Tragic news broke yesterday from the community near Fort Drum, New York, after an active duty U.S. Army soldier allegedly shot and killed his wife and responding New York State Trooper Joel Davis.
The soldier, Staff Sergeant Justin Dean Walters, is assigned to a rifle company in a Brigade Combat Team at Fort Drum. He was arrested late Sunday night after surrendering without a fight to police after shooting Trooper Davis in his driveway.
Walters' wife Nichole was pronounced dead at the scene, and Davis died of his wounds an hour after being shot. According to his initial appearance in court, Walters was charged with first and second-degree murder.
Details are scant this early after incidents like these, and Walters has reportedly denied understanding his involvement in the killings. But what has already emerged in some media reports is the fact that Walters, an infantryman, has served two year-long deployments to Afghanistan, once in 2009, and again in 2012. He also was reportedly arrested while in ninth grade for plotting with a fellow classmate to assemble a "kill list" of people they intended to murder, and subsequently commit suicide shortly afterwards. It appears possible that Walters had troubling mental health issues long before ever becoming a member of the Army or serving in combat, yet his combat experience is already being cited as some sort of warning sign.
What is troubling for veterans in America today is how quickly prior military service, even with no actual combat experience, is brought up almost instantly any time a tragedy such as this one occurs. The near-24/7 coverage in the media of military service since September 11th—simultaneously lionizing veterans for their bravery and pitying them as victims—has permeated our collective understanding and treatment of veterans.
A shocking poll was released last year by the Bush Institute, which showed that 40% of Americans believe that over half of veterans have mental health issues. The actual number is far smaller, but this perception of the damaged veteran is ingrained in our psyche.
The Army will conduct their own internal investigation, as members of the public and media will begin to probe the background of Sergeant Walters to try to understand this senseless act. Did the unit not know he had mental health issues? That he was prone to violence? How could he be left with firearms? All of these questions will be asked, as if the unit was willfully ignoring a murderous threat in their midst.
What people often do not understand is that the military already has an intrusive role in soldiers' lives. Leaders will personally visit the homes of subordinates to ensure they are living well, and are expected to intimately know the personal details of a subordinate's home life. If a soldier wants to take a weekend trip, a detailed plan for the weekend must be submitted to and approved by their leadership before the trip is authorized. Some leaders will mandate counseling before major financial decisions like buying a car or home. These steps are in an effort to put the soldier and their family first.
For better or for worse, Sergeant Walters' leadership will now come under a microscope. Tough questions will be asked. Unfortunately, I am all too familiar with this process, as I was also a leader who had a subordinate commit an egregious crime while under my command. It is a profoundly difficult time as the unit copes with a tragedy while supporting an ongoing investigation.
But we must also acknowledge a reality of our armed forces. There are probably thousands of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen right now who are exhibiting all the same signs as Sergeant Walters was, leading up to this tragedy. Meaning no signs at all, or some so common among soldiers that if the military were to somehow "pre-crime" these individuals like "Minority Report," our day-to-day operations would come to a grinding halt. I am not advocating a do-nothing approach, but we must be more realistic about what we can expect to prevent, and hold off on assigning blame in a knee-jerk reaction.
More importantly, we must also stop associating combat experience with the 'broken veteran' narrative. The vast majority of veterans do not exhibit any signs of post-traumatic stress disorder, and among those who do, according to the VA, there is no causal link between PTSD and homicide.

We have less than a week to go and the SKOHRboard & Stangs League 2011 NFL Mock Draft is right on pace to finish up on April 28th. It's Day 9 of our draft and we are just getting into the 2nd Round. This is where teams will have the ability to start showing their draft expertise by taking valuable players who may have slipped or grabbing hidden gems others might not see the greatness in. Today we have five picks from Denver, Cleveland, Arizona, Tennessee, and Dallas.
The Broncos front seven was absolutely dreadful last year, and the Broncos decide to follow up their Marcell Dareus selection with another versatile defensive lineman in Corey Liuget. His ability to get consistent pass rush from the three-technique and nose spots will excite teams using four-man fronts. His experience at the five-technique and nose tackle positions makes him a great fit for 3-4 teams, as well. As previously mentioned, John Fox plans on shifting his squad over to a 4-3 defense while occassionally mixing in a 3-4 front. This guy can do everything that Dareus, our #2 overall selection, can do. In a base 4-3 front, the Broncos will now have the ability to move these young athletes all over the line.
A few mocks have been talking about the possibility of Denver grabbing a QB in this draft, and while I understand that the new staff has nothing to do with Orton, Tebow, or Quinn, it would be outrageous to not address this pitiful excuse for a defense. Liuget is an absolute STEAL at this position. He has the legit skills - get it? his surname is pronounced "legit" - to be a starter from day one. He and Dareus can completely remake this defense. Corner and safety could have been addressed here, but not with a guy like Liuget available.
The Browns already took Patrick Peterson earlier in the draft to help take care of the back end of the defense, now they must address the defensive line. Clayborn has 1st round talent, but had a down year as a Senior and questions regarding his health (Erb's Palsy) plus a weak display of strength on the bench press have pushed him down to the 2nd round. Clayborn is very big for a defensive end, he isn't that explosive, but has a strong lower half and great balance that make him a great pass rusher. Clayborn is the kind of player that the Browns know will help right away on defense, and will have something to prove to all the franchises that passed on him in Round 1.
The Cardinals have a lot of solid options with this pick and I considered them all. Jon Baldwin to pair with Fitzgerald, Titus Young to really open up the offense, Brandon Harris to solidify the CB position opposite DRC, Phil Taylor to be the unmovable rock in the middle, Stephen Paea to do the same, and finally Ben Ijalana to help protect their shiny new QB.
However, at the end of the day Martez Wilson presents a value too great to pass up. The Cardinals need real help at OLB and Wilson can be that help. He will able to get after the QB and play the run equally well. Wilson has the size to play OLB now and can even move inside if need be. If he consistently plays as well in the NFL as he showed that he can at Illinois, Wilson could be a huge steal.
The Titans are desperate for a signal caller and they have Ponder fall into their lap in round 2. He is an NFL ready QB with a good arm and a good head on his shoulders. He has had perhaps the finest off-season of all the draft eligible QBs. Ponder's NFL readiness is a huge plus for the Titans who are desperately in need of a signal caller. With a good training camp, he could step in on day one and be a productive starter in a run first offense like the Titans. The only question about Ponder is his health with three arm surgeries in two years.
The Cowboys have not had anything that could be called a strength at safety in years. Moore is the highest rated true safety in a fairly weak class, and he is likely to start for the 'Boys immediately. A team (that thinks it is) this close to the Super Bowl can afford to select need players before they reach their "draft value". Moore had a better Sophomore than Junior year, but his play as a three-year starter is impressive. He was a second-team All-American last year, and should parlay that talent into a respectable rookie year at the free safety position. He is a team captain and natural leader that will prove to be more mature than most others in this draft.
The Cowboys could have picked a defensive end at this point, but talent exists in the later rounds to find a few prospects. Moore can cover a lot of ground. If his talents around the ball improve to beyond what he showed in his second year, he can make this secondary a strength rather than a weakness.

I have noticed a trend this year among Facebook friends and some of the Mommy Bloggers I follow. There has been lots of discussion this year about Christmas traditions – Elf on the Shelf being the most horrendous, in my humble opinion. It got me thinking, because traditions aren't something we value too highly in our little family. We like trying new things, whether they be foods or experiences or weird do-it-yourself egg and mayonnaise hair treatments. We get rid of clothing and furniture pretty regularly, we don't have attachment to material things.
This Christmas is significant for us, because 1) We are in a new home (movin' on up, as they say) 2) My daughter is away at school and this is the first Christmas that she won't be home with us, and 3) my son is 5 and able to enjoy the stories, help wrap presents, and grasp the idea of Christmas and the holiday more than he did in years past. For these reasons I have been thinking about Christmas traditions – do we need them? Do we want them? Are they silly? Are they a sweet way to stay close as a family?
We don't have traditions. We do things differently every year. The tree, the decorations, the food, the music, the routine of whose house we go to first or last or not at all. Maybe that's our tradition. Some years we didn't have a tree (due to finances and, well, cats). Other years we had only construction paper snowflake ornaments. We don't watch the same movies or eat the same foods every year, and while I do have fond memories of my grandmothers "broke-neck" gingerbread men and the laughter they inspired among my cousins and me, I guess don't see traditions as necessary. I realize, though, that for my son there is comfort in the familiar, and my husband and I want to begin to put him on a road towards a relationship with Christ – one that begins with reverence and respect for Christmas, Jesus' birth.
So, this year we decided to start our first Christmas tradition. It may be the only thing we do EVERY year consistently, but it's a good one. We found an advent calendar – the kind with the little numbered doors and chocolates behind each one – and a website that explains the Christmas story in a way kids can understand. Every morning in the month of December, we read and talk a little about Jesus – who he is, why he is important, what he did, and his Earthly family. Then, my son gets a chocolate.
The chocolate may be his favorite part of our talks, but I know that some of the things he learns are sticking. For instance, he knows "advent" means "coming". He knows "Immanuel" means "God with us". If I say "Jesus is the ____" he responds with "Light of the World" (and a big smile). He knows Jesus' mommy's name was Mary and he knows Christmas is Jesus' birthday. I feel like, for one so small, that is a lot of information.
The cookies won't last and one day the presents will be forgotten, and maybe my son won't grow up watching a parade on tv eating the same treats I make every holiday season, but Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Setting up a place for him in our son's heart and life is one tradition I feel worthy, and one I know I can keep.

Basketball is a relatively young game. Whereas football and baseball developed gradually from games brought from other countries, basketball was invented in the United States late in the nineteent h century by a Dr. Naismith as a game to be played indoors during the winter. The "basket" in basketball refers to the fruit baskets used for e balls in the early days of the game. Other societies, such as the Aztecs, have used balls and rings on walls, but the rules were different.
Each team in basketball has five players, a center, two guards, and two forwards. The game is played on a rectangular court with two baskets attached to backboards at each end. The object is to score by throwing a rather large ball into a goal or basket, which is mounted ten feet above the floor. Players may "dribble'' or bounce the ball with their hand or pass (throw) it to a teammate, but they may not run or walk with the ball unless they are dribbling. Players may not hit, shove or hold other players to prevent them scoring, but they block passes, throws ("shots") to the basket, and take the ball away while a player is dribbling.
Play is started by possession of a jump ball in center court. When a player walks with the ball or if the ball goes outside the lines of the court ("out of bounds"), the opposing team puts the ball in play by throwing the ball to a teammate on the court.
We got the merger. I slam dunked the deal.


I have always wanted to make a rustic kind of cake and more so with chalkboard but unfortunately all customers cannot be convinced into it. So when my auntie wanted to celebrate her 40th wedding anniversary I grabbed this opportunity to make her one. The design was already in my head...rustically applied icing top tier and a blackboard bottom tier which I can 'write' and life size sugar peonies against lots of different kinds of green herbs ....all on a tree trunk cake stand.
Then I received an email from my auntie that my uncle would love to have a figurine of himself in uniform and her with long flowing hair with a tiara and wearing lots of jewellery. Hmmm...a total opposite of rustic. B..b..but...I do not want to let go of my ideas. Hahaha...the little rebel in me said "why not!".....in cake there is no right and no wrong. I know, I know I am stabbing myself somewhere. It is just not me, right? But like I said it's the 'the little rebel in me'. Chic and rustic can go hand in hand...my way!!!!!!!!!
The marrying of chic and rustic!
So what do you think of my chic-rustic cake??

Welcome to the HULSE network website.
HULSE, HULCE, HULS, HULTS, HULTZ, HOLSAERT, HULSART, VERHULST.
We do not cover similar surnames that are distinct and unrelated to HULSE, such as HULL, HULLS, HALSE . There will undoubtedly be some overlaps and mistakes.
We acknowledge that surname-based research has unfortunate male bias. When possible, we will provide links to websites of Spouse surnames that were added to the Hulse legacy when women married in, and spread our influence as Hulse women married out.
We limit ourselves to American families. Our Clans start with first known immigrants. Family units start with first known American family without known immigrants.
Granvyl Hulse invented our unique numbering system (R01/123a/088, for example). It is our legacy from those who collected and protected our data since the Stone Age era, before computers. It had its beginning in punch card filing, where aligned holes in the cards allowed sorting of the massive data into usable piles.
This website is a work-in-progress, based upon the original HulseNet website first posted in the 1990s. Most of the data is as it was on that website, last updated in 1996. More current additions from later family trees may be added as they are brought to our attention.
It is important to note that most of this data has not been reliably "sourced".
Take it for what it is, and verify any information that you take away to be your own.
Check back later for the latest and greatest.
This Hulse Family Web Page is the electronic supplement to the original Hulse Family Network created back in the days of pencil, paper, and three by five cards. It is composed of material accumulated by decades of research by family historians who became nearly blind, and definitely arthritic, bending over dusty books in damp library basements trying to record by candle light the semi illiterate writings of the past. The fact that the information they accumulated by their heroic deeds is so full of holes that you can drive a truck through it does not detract from their efforts. It will be up to you, the modern internet generation, to prove them wrong (and I stress the word "prove"), and build on their efforts. There is nothing in all the work that has gone on before that can be taken for granted, and believe me what has been accumulated has only scratched the surface.
A word of warning. If you think that you will be able to compile your family history from these pages, or from queries on the net, you definitely need a keeper. We can give you leads, but you are going to have to go yourself into those same dusty, damp basements that your predecessors did. The difference being is that you will have use of electronic copiers, and your material will be fed into computers where it can be examined, sorted, and shared with others in a matter of seconds. Don't let us down - if you do, may your motherboard fail, your screens go blank, and your children loose access to their Nintendo® games.
About 15 years ago, when the computer became something more than counting on one's fingers and could be purchased for the home, a Hulse Family Network was established. A master record of Hulse, Huls, Hulce, etc., first names, and surnames of spouses was accumulated, and individuals were identified as recorders for Clans (immigrant ancestor known) and Family Units (immigrant ancestors not known). Riding herd on this independent mob was a Central Recorder, who kept the master list, directed new queries to whomever could answer them, published a newsletter, and acted as the compiler for those Clans and Family Units that did not have a family recorder. From these dedicated efforts, the Hulse surname was brought out of darkness and into light to the joy of the U.S. Postal authorities who printed more stamps, the paper industry who cut down more trees, and hoards of Hulse researchers who thought they were working in a vacuum.
This, gentle reader, brings us to the Hulse Family web site that Debbie Wafford has set up. Most of the information accumulated in the past by the Hulse Family Network is available to you through this net (if we can remember where we filed it, and can understand your question.) Our answer may be as simple as a quick reply, an address of who to write to, bringing several of you together to work on your own line, or sending you sheets of material via snail mail. It can be as complicated as simply telling you we don't know, sending you back to do more research, and hoping for the best.
There are, however, rules to this game. First, if you don't intend to share with us, don't ask us to share with you. We have a lot more digging to do, and some of us are getting tired. Do us the simple courtesy of not wasting our time if you are not willing to part with your own Hulse related research. This is definitely a "shareware" project.
Secondly, and equally important, don't expect miracles. A lot of this material has been put together by guess and by golly, and that is bad genealogy to hang your hat on. Double check everything that is given you, and where you find an error, or can add to our store of information, let us know. This is especially true for anything that is posted on this web page. These articles are not the end all; they are simply drafts to build on.
Finally, as some of us lead other lives, we have a tendency to get distracted and may forget that you have asked us a question. If you don't hear back in a reasonable amount of time, jog our memory. If you still don't get an answer, rebroadcast your message to the group, or in my case, check the back bedroom on the second floor of a 125 year old, uninsulated, 15 room, white house with gray trim; and then call the coroner.

Veteran shares his story
Quinn Brown, Lamp writer
SPRINGFIELD — Sgt. John Wayne Mayes is a 99-year-old World War II veteran. Mayes was drafted and fought in the Pacific Theater.
"It was alright with me, I was just a kid. I didn't know what was going on," said Mayes.
Mayes, who will turn 100 on April 1, 2020, worked on a ship where he helped lay fiber optic cables between Fuji and the Philippines.
Mayes tried out to be a codebreaker, but said he "didn't like it because it was too confining,"
Mayes also worked putting telephone wires through the jungles in the South Pacific.
"I had one of those six-by-six Army trucks with four or five guys with equipment putting up wire lines," Mayes said.
After the war, Mayes came back to the states and married Velma Viele.
Viele worked as a dancer for a traveling dance troupe from Chicago.
Mayes and Viele married in September 1946 and had three children Carl, Carleen and James.
They lived in an apartment behind Springfield High School. He would ride his bicycle with Velma on the handlebars and drop her off at her job, and he would then ride to his job.
Mayes worked in many places and owned a couple of businesses after the war.
He owned a Standard Oil filling station on Laurel and an Italian grocery store on Sangamon Avenue; and also worked as an auto mechanic at Studebaker, dump truck driver during the construction of Interstate 55 and truck driver for Matthews Transfer.
In 2012, Carl Mayes, John Mayes' son, took him on the Honor Flight to Washington, D.C.
The changing of the guard at the unknown soldier was very moving for Mayes who said, "I sat and watched them change the guard two or three times,"
Mayes went to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum while in D.C.
"We were in line they'd come and get us, take us up to the first in line. We'd go in right away. Do all of our looking around and then we come out the same door and pass the same people in the line, and it hadn't moved that much," Mayes said.
After his trip with the Honors Flight, Mayes began helping set up for more flights for other veterans. He would have to wake up at 3 a.m. and drive out to Springfield Airport to set up wheelchairs for veterans and come back at 9 p.m. to set up chairs for when they came back, so people could have a homecoming for them.

All my basses are truly custom built. They are all built by hand and use various combinations of first-class woods and hardware. Some of them were built based on my own preferences, while others have been based on my customers' wishes. When you look through the bass gallery on this site, you will see that there are plenty of different variations in woods, scale length, hardware and electronics. That's the way I think it should be when it comes to custom basses!

These days one receives a barrage of press release emails advising that this winery or that has won a medal or trophy, somewhere or other, here or there around the world. Most of these end up in my circular filing folder (the bin) as they are just an attempt to broaden their reach for a single achievement.
However, when I receive a stream of such announcements from a single winery during the course of the year, I start to sit up and pay attention.
In this case it is the year's notices by the high achieving, rather demure mob at Reillys Wines.
To say that 2019 has been a milestone year for the Clare Valley's Reillys Wines would be an understatement. The year marked the 25th vintage since the winery's quiet start in an old stone cottage (that is now their cellar door), in the township of Mintaro, where Dr Justin Ardill and wife, Julie, made their first wine in 1994. Ever since those humble beginnings Justin has maintained the age-old practice of fermenting the red grapes, in open fermenters using wild yeasts and with minimal intervention.
2019 also marked the 100th Anniversary of the old Grenache patch in their vineyards. These ancient bush vine vines were planted by a serviceman returning after the First World War. Although the centenary vintage is 3-4 years away from being released, it is evolving superbly according to Justin.
In addition, this vintage marked the production of their first Sagrantino wine. Sagrantino is a native Italian red variety that is fruity, spicy and yet finely structured and which is showing great promise here in Australia. By the way, Reillys was the first winery to plant Sagrantino in the Clare Valley.
During the year Reillys also achieved some excellent results in wine shows and judging's. Starting with the fact that the Reillys 2014 'epitaph' shiraz came third to Penfolds Grange, in the Winestate "World's Greatest Shiraz Challenge XIV" judging. This is an amazing honour for a wine that retails for $100, whereas Grange retails at around $900 a bottle. The Epitaph was also judged as being "Top in Class", in the $100-$200 category at this event.
This accolade was followed in October by the announcement that at the Canberra International Riesling Championship (CIRC) all three of the Reillys entries were awarded gold medals. The CIRC is the largest international Riesling show in the world with a total of 502 entries this year. The Reillys 2019 RIESLING was awarded a gold medal in Class 1 – Current Vintage. While both the 2018 and 2016 vintages were awarded gold medals in Class 4 – Vintages 2016, 2017 and 2018.
Then as a culminating triumph to this outstanding year of achievements, Reillys were recently advised by Winestate Magazine that they were one of the finalists in the "top five wines" in two categories of the Winestate "Wine of the Year" awards. The first being in the "Riesling of the Year" category, in which the Reillys 2018 WATERVALE CLARE VALLEY RIESLING was nominated. The second being in the "Cabernet Sauvignon of the Year' category in which the Reillys 2016 'THE DANCER' CLARE VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON was nominated. The winners will be announced at the presentation ceremony in mid-November.
Being judged as one of the Top 5 wines in two classes is an amazing honour and grand testament to the achievements of Reillys Wines and their excellent balancing act between the old, 'tried & true' methods and the new, 'cutting edge'.
A truly outstanding year by a small team of "quiet achievers" that are helping to re-establish the Clare Valley's rightful place on the Australian wine map. www.reillyswines.com.au

IFC anchors green bond for 5 GW of renewables in east Asia and Pacific
World Bank sister organization the IFC has made a $75 million commitment to a green bond recently issued by Philippines based developer AC Energy. Vietnam's sub-standard financial sector performance has prompted the Asian Development Bank to suggest green bonds could best leverage the country's renewable energy targets.

The International Finance Corp (IFC) committed to an anchor investment of $75 million worth of green bonds issued by AC Energy Finance which secured the overall $300 million offering and spiked further interest from Filipino and overseas bank investors.
AC Energy plans to develop 5 GW of renewable energy project capacity in east Asia and the Pacific up to 2025. According to an IFC statement, the proceeds of the green bond issuance will help the company realize its plans, with IFC's subscription dedicated to PV and wind projects in Vietnam.
"We are delighted to partner with a global player like IFC as we take a major step to grow our renewable energy investments," said Eric Francia, AC Energy president and CEO. "IFC's anchor investment and extensive experience in green bonds were key in successfully mobilizing substantial international and Philippine investment in AC Energy's maiden capital offering."
The commitment builds on IFC's investment in the Vietnamese power sector, particularly its equity stake in the Gia Lai Electricity Joint Stock Company, developer of the first operational utility-scale PV projects in the country.
Bonds the way forward
Last month, AC Energy Inc – the energy branch of colonial era Philippines conglomerate Ayala Corporation – set the term for its dollar-denominated green bond at an aggregate principal amount of $225 million with a five-year tenure and a coupon offering 4.75% per annum. The bonds will be issued by subsidiary AC Energy Finance International Limited and guaranteed by AC Energy. The offering is a drawdown from a recently established $1 billion medium term note program and the bonds will be listed on the Singapore stock exchange.
Vietnam is on a path to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a quarter by 2030, and 45% by 2050. To that end, the government wants the share of renewables in the country's energy system to rise from 4% to 7% by next year, and 10% in 2030.
The authorities want a significant share of that capacity to be sourced from PV. The Asian Development Bank released a report in November which said, while those targets do not appear ambitious, the country experiences difficulty because of its underdeveloped financial system. To overcome that hurdle, the report's authors suggested the establishment of a green financial policy framework and said green bonds and green credit programs were well-suited to mobilize more funds.
The IFC said World Bank Group member Vietnam has been active in the green bond market since 2010, with more than 133 such instruments issued, with a value of $8.8 billion.

The Desert Diamond Cup continues Saturday in Tucson when Sporting Kansas City and the New York Red Bulls lock horns at Kino Sports Complex. The match will kick off at 4:30 p.m. CT with live streams on SportingKC.com, FOXSportsGO.com and the Sporting KC Uphoria app.
Sporting Kansas City opened its Desert Diamond Cup campaign on Wednesday, settling for a 1-1 draw against the Colorado Rapids. A pair of 2016 Swope Park Rangers standouts combined for Sporting KC's goal in the 51st minute when central defender Amer Didic nodded home a cross from left back Tyler Pasher. Colorado equalized in second-half stoppage time through a Dillon Powers penalty kick that was awarded via Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology — the first implementation of VAR in MLS since the initiative began this offseason.
Wednesday saw Dom Dwyer, Benny Feilhaber and Graham Zusi make their preseason debuts. Dwyer is progressing toward full fitness after having left ankle surgery last November, while Feilhaber and Zusi spent most of January with the U.S. Men's National Team. Manager Peter Vermes, who fielded two separate squads in either half versus Colorado, was complimentary of Latif Blessing and Gerso Fernandes — new acquisitions who started and played 45 minutes on the left and right wing, respectively.
The Red Bulls defeated crosstown rival New York City FC 2-0 on Wednesday to take an early lead in the Desert Diamond Cup standings. U.S. international Sacha Kljestan bagged both goals on the same day he was named club captain, scoring in the 23rd and 43rd minutes. Head coach Jesse Marsch made just two substitutions the entire afternoon, including 90-minute shifts from Kljestan and former Sporting KC duo Aurelien Collin and Sal Zizzo. Bradley Wright-Phillips, MLS's leading scorer since 2014 with 75 goals, was replaced after 82 minutes.
New York has hoisted two of the last four Supporters' Shield titles and advanced to the playoffs every year since 2010, the third-longest active streak in MLS. Marsch's side has seen minimal player movement this offseason, but former captain Dax McCarty was a high-profile departure after being traded to the Chicago Fire in exchange for a whopping $400,000 in allocation money.
The lone meeting between the teams in 2016 resulted in a 2-0 road win for Sporting KC. Benny Feilhaber and Dom Dwyer provided the goals, while Tim Melia enjoyed a masterful performance in goal, stopping a penalty from Wright-Phillips and making six total saves. The Red Bulls will visit Sporting KC on May 3 at Children's Mercy Park, and tickets for that match are available at seatgeek.com.
The 2017 Desert Diamond Cup will resume with pool play matches Saturday and Wednesday. The tournament will conclude next Saturday, Feb. 25 with placement matches featuring first vs. second, third vs. fourth, and fifth vs. sixth. Fans visiting Tucson can use promo code "SPORTING" to get 15 percent off tickets to Sporting KC's matches on Saturday and Feb. 25.

Network Rail drop-in sessions on July A49 corridor rail and road closures next week
Posted on 11th June 2017 11th June 2017 by andybodders
Network Rail will be holding a public drop-in session at the Bishop Mascall Centre, Ludlow on Tuesday 13 June, 3-7pm. Their team will also be in Onibury on Wednesday and Craven Arms on Thursday. The sessions are to brief the public on the full closure of the A49 to vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists between Saturday 1 July and Sunday 9 July. The rail line will be closed all day on the weekends of 1-2 July and 8-9 July with an hourly bus replacement.
This is in addition to previously planned weekend rail closures on 17-18 June and 24-25 June. That means that Ludlow's rail line will be closed for four weekends in a row during the peak tourist season.
The A49 will be closed at Onibury between Ludlow and Craven Arms from 1 to 9 July 2017, 24 hours a day. Diversions will be signposted from Woofferton, via Kidderminster and Bridgnorth to Bayston Hill outside Shrewsbury.
Network Rail say the nine-day July closure is essential to "deliver a safety-critical upgrade to Onibury level crossing." Around 6,000 vehicles a day use the crossing. The heavy usage, combined with the track layout and the interface between the road and railway mean the surface of the crossing is prone to significant deterioration. The level crossing has been closed at short notice six times in recent months to allow for interim repairs. The planned work will prevent further disruptive road closures and extend the lifespan of the crossing.
The rail company says it is developing a diversionary route in conjunction with Highways England, Shropshire Council, Worcestershire Council and Herefordshire Council. Shropshire Council told me last week that "the diversion route has been finalised by Network Rail as the route from Woofferton to Kidderminster, Bridgnorth, Shrewsbury and vice versa."
The proposed diversion is now confirmed
The council also said that the roadworks planned on the Bridgnorth A458 bypass will not lead to road closures at the same time as the Onibury closure.
I have asked for information on how vehicles will be diverted to and from Ludlow. It would be crazy if Shrewsbury traffic is diverted south to Woofferton and then to Kidderminster and Bridgnorth (61 miles). Local people will use the Culmington route, as will local buses. If tourist buses and visitors are diverted south and then east before going north, it will not only disrupt their schedules, they won't be keen on coming back again.
I asked Network Rail why the works planned for 17-18 June and 24-25 June could not be done on 1-2 July and 8-9 July, reducing the number of weekend rail closures from four to two. It was unable to give a reply late last week but promised that staff at the drop-in sessions will be briefed on why four weekends are needed not two.
Network Rail will be holding three drop-in sessions between 3pm and 7pm:
Tuesday 13 June: Ludlow Mascall Centre, Lower Galdeford, Ludlow, SY8 1RZ
Wednesday 14 June: Onibury Village Hall, Onibury, Shropshire, SY7 9AW
Thursday 15 June: Mayfair Community Centre, Easthope Road, Church Stretton, SY6 6BL

And you find Network Rail's plan leading to "Ludlow's rail line will be closed for four weekends in a row during the peak tourist season" to be a SURPRISE?
What else would we expect from the growing incompetence of our Con "public SERVICES"?

He Could Not Comb His Own Hair Without Help
August 26, 2018 ObituariesTeri
After five and a half years of captivity and horrendous torture in North Vietnam, John McCain finally came home. His body was broken, but not his spirit. McCain was left permanently disabled and was unable to raise his arms above his shoulders.
And yet, according to "President" Trump, John McCain was a bogus war hero, and he made a mockery of his years of torture and captivity: "He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."
Mr. McCain said nothing in response. How many people would have been able to do that?
I wonder how long Trump would have lasted as a prisoner of war in Hanoi?
Oh wait, he was a draft dodger and received five deferments during the Vietnam War—four for education and one for bad feet. Aw, poor Trump had bone spurs.
John McCain endured among other unimaginable torture: Bayoneted in the left ankle and groin, a broken shoulder as a result of a rifle butt, suspended by ropes with his broken arms behind him, two years in solitary confinement in a cell infested with roaches and rats, frequent beatings, and tortured with cables.
Someone had to help him comb his hair.
Upon reading those words in the New York Times today, my heart was heavy.
Not only because we lost a true American hero, who loved his country, but also because we are left with a germaphobic, self-absorbed, self-concerned tyrant, who copped five draft deferments and has yet to visit the thousands of American soldiers on the front lines in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Trump is not invited to McCain's funeral, and I'm happy about that. Not that he would have attended, because he's a coward.
I regret not having mailed the letter I wrote to Mr. McCain following Trump's searing put- down of him and amidst the booing of McCain at Trump rallies.
In part here is what it said:
Dear Senator McCain,
I am so sorry that Donald Trump made a joke about your time in captivity because if not for your sacrifice, I might not be free.
And thank you for answering the call to defend our country's freedom, and for putting America before yourself and for your undying patriotism.
Finally, thank you for defending the Constitution, which allows me to be able to write this letter to you at all.
And most importantly, I needed to tell you that despite Trump and his booing followers, most Americans are filled with fiery patriotism and consider you a true American hero.
Here are some of my favorite quotes by the late great John McCain:
"We are Americans first, Americans last, Americans always."
"I will not take the low road to the highest office in this land. I want the presidency in the best way, not the worst way."
"I don't mind a good fight. For reasons known only to God, I've had quite a few tough ones in my life. But I learned an important lesson along the way: In the end, it matters less that you can fight. What you fight for is the real test."
"I fell in love with my country when I was a prisoner in someone else's. I loved it for its decency, for its faith in the wisdom, justice, and goodness of its people. I loved it because it was not just a place but an idea, a cause worth fighting for. I was never the same again; I wasn't my own man anymore; I was my country's."


Last Sunday, we celebrated the gift of the Holy Spirit – complete with a long piece of red fabric coming down from the ceiling, draping along the cross, and pooling on the floor. Thank you to our Worship Ministry for this vivid reminder of the first Pentecost!
For the next few weeks, we'll be exploring what it means to be a Spirit driven church. And the Bible has a lot to say on the subject. For instance, in John's Gospel, Jesus says to the disciples, "I have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now." Knowing his disciples would need guidance after he was no longer with them, Jesus promised he would send the Holy Spirit who would help them understand and interpret their faith after he was gone. And it was a good thing, too, because from the very beginning the Apostles were forced to think on their feet and make decisions when the answers weren't always written down in black and white.
The first disciples had the Holy Spirit to guide them into truth and faithful living – and so do we! Join us in worship this weekend as we continue to seek the Spirit's guidance in all things.


I trained at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, the world's leading school in Nutritional Psychology, to build on my Bachelors Degree in Psychology and become a Certified Eating Psychology Practitioner. I'm also a graduate of The Holistic Nutrition Lab Digestive Intensive, certified as an Intuitive Therapist through the NZ College of Holistic Studies, and have a Culinary Certificate from the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts. I have worked in the food and wine industry in both New Zealand and the United States, most recently at Dish Magazine, before having my two daughters. I continue to study with the Center for Nutritional Psychology to stay current on the science of how nutrients affect mood and behaviour.
With a uniquely holistic approach combining Psychology, Nutrition, and Energy Healing, I now help clients overcome challenges with body image, digestion, mood, stress, fatigue, chronic dieting, and emotional eating. The skills I use are a combination of practical counseling techniques, clinical nutrition, and mind body science. My strategies are always respectful, compassionate, and mindful of my client's highest goals.
Nutritional Psychology considers the way we think and feel to be as important as the food we eat and also recognises the incredible impact of nutrients on our mental and physical well-being. This allows us to make meaningful connections between who we are, what we are eating, and how we are living.
We are constantly receiving conflicting messages about what we should or should not be eating. We have long been told to simply eat less and exercise more in order to achieve the perfect body. We are led to believe that if only we had more willpower we could achieve our dietary goals. I think there are some ingredients missing in these well-intentioned recipes for wellness.
In my Nutritional Psychology practice, I honour your body's own wisdom and help you navigate what is right for you. In addition to considering the food you are eating, I go deeper and acknowledge other areas in life that "fill you up" or "weigh heavily on you." My psychological perspective recognises the impact of stress and pleasure, thoughts and emotions, dreams and disappointments, experiences and beliefs on overall well-being. These insights help us more fully explore issues with food and body and can facilitate profound shifts.
I believe that symptoms are often messengers, providing valuable feedback about our emotional and physical bodies. Often a challenge persists until we understand the meaning behind it and address it appropriately. This positive and transformational work will support you on your quest to feel and look your best from a place of true nourishment, empowerment, and authenticity.

The Key Elements of a Good Narrative – at Trial or Anywhere Else
By: Tony Klapper Tue, Mar 21, 2017 @ 01:08 PM
Juries, Storytelling, Persuasion
by Tony Klapper
Managing Director, Litigation Consulting
Here in these pages, we often talk about storytelling as a fundamental principle of successful trial work. But what are the elements of a good story?
A good story is one that will be retold – it's one that begs to be retold. Just as our ancestors told and retold the fundamental stories of their nations by the fireside, a great story is one that people today will repeat at the watercooler, in the bar, in the line at the grocery, or anywhere that there's time for a narrative. A compelling movie (think of the Pixar films or a Steven Spielberg production) or a great epic (as far back as the Iliad or the Odyssey) or even an account of business success (think Steve Jobs, Bill Gates or Thomas Edison) will have the essential elements of a story. And as trial lawyers, we want jurors to pick up the story that we tell, and retell it in the jury room during deliberations.
Each of these great stories has a few things in common: a distinct source of conflict or tension, compelling character development, and a message that is conveyed, either directly or subtly, that conforms with the values of the people who are hearing the story.
A legal dispute in the courtroom also takes advantage of those essential narrative elements – if the trial lawyer is aware of them and uses them appropriately. A trial lawyer can and should tell the story of the case through the perspective of a real human being – a quality control supervisor at a factory, an inventor who was cheated out of the fruits of his creativity, or a woman who applied on her late husband's life insurance policy and was denied. A company as well could be portrayed as having a particular orientation or purpose: Our company has persevered for a century because it treats people fairly, or our company is an innovator that is dedicated to making people's lives better and more enjoyable.
The story told at trial, through witnesses, documents, visuals and all the other elements, should have a plot with conflict and tension; should have distinct characters; and should also have a message that's easy to remember and is consistent with the community's values. The message could be that cheaters never win, or that honesty and hard work are rewarded, or that a deal is a deal and must be adhered to.
If you don't frame the facts of the case into a story that is easy for jurors to create in their minds, easy to remember and easy to retell, your opponent will. And that's at least half the battle right there. If jurors go into deliberations telling the story your way, your chances of winning are quite good. It's all about the narrative.

The Similarities Between Jury Trials and Auditions on 'The Voice' – and a Key Difference

Q: What is the meaning of '==' in C? What is the meaning of == and how does it differ from =?
How do I know which one to use?

A: == tests equality
= assigns a value
neither are related to ||

A: I might add that in Finnish and Swedish keyboards.  Pipe symbol; |; of OR is AltGr (the right alt) and < key. IF you are using Mac on the other hand it is Alt-7 key.
Gave me a lot of sweat when I first started typing on these keyboards.

A: == is a test for equality. = is an assignment.
Any good C book should cover this (fairly early on in the book I would imagine).
For example:
int i = 3;                       // sets i to 3.
if (i == 3) printf("i is 3\n");  // prints it.

Just watch out for the heinous:
if (i = 4) { }

which is valid C and frequently catches people out. This actually assigns 4 to the variable i and uses that as the truth value in the if statement. This leads a lot of people to use the uglier but safer:
if (4 == i) {}

which, if you accidentally use = instead of ==, is a compile-time error rather than something that will bite you on the backside while your program is running :-)
The logical-or operator is two vertical bar characters, one after the other, not a single character. Here it is lined up with a logical-and, and a variable called b4:
||
&&
b4

No magic there.

A: Now that you know the difference between '==' and '=", let me put you some words of caution. Although '==' is used as a standard test of equality between comparable variables and '=' used as an internally type-casted assignment, the following programming error is quiet common.
In the below example and similar codes, '=' is know as "Always true" conditional operator.
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int i = 10, j = 20;
    if ( i = j )
        printf("Equal\n");
    else
        printf("NOT Equal\n");
    return 0;
}

So, the word of caution is "Never use '=' in if statements, unless you have something evil in your mind."

A: a == b is a test if a and b are equal.
a = b is called an assignment, which means to set the variable a to having the same value as b.
(You type | with Shift-\ in the US keyboard layout.)

So . . . Dave Arneson Game Day made me do it. . .
Another important catalyst was a conversation I had at a convention with and attendee who picked up Simple Superheroes after playing in my session. He wanted to run a fantasy hack for his 6 year old. And he's already done so!
It has classic class tropes that are turned a bit on their head with the "design your own" nature of the Unleashed engine. It's a framework that let's you build all sorts of awesome character "classes." In the original fantasy campaign "rules" were regularly added as new characters were introduced, and Dungeon Unleashed! framework is meant to replicate exactly that at your table.
Multiple foes are particularly dangerous in Dungeon Unleashed! as they can gang up on your hapless heroes. The five pages include example monster creation, with examples for goblins, trolls, ogres and ochre jelly.
You can grab the 5 page Dungeon Unleashed PDF here. If you are intersted in getting notified of any updates to the system (and always having access to the latest version) you are encouraged to pick it up through the CDG Marketplace.
I will happily talk about it more ad nauseum if there is interest.
This is a very early version, so I am interested in all opinions on it.
1) I wouldn't go with wound penalties. They tend to make things less fun for folks. Though, to be honest, others would disagree.
2) I did like the multiple opponent rules.
3) The spell mechanic is pretty neat, I'd have to see how it plays out in playtesting.
4) Shapechange rules for druids would be fun.
5) Make a Mage talent for physical defense so they can cast such as shields.
6) Maybe a rogue class?
7) I only have the first 4 pages, I'd like to see the others.
8) Loot's a big part of this genre. Figure out how magic items work.
It does look cool though. You're onto something.
Thanks for the feedback Chris. Let me tackle these.
Your right these should perhaps be listed as an optional rule. The alternative rule could be knocked out as soon as you hit negatives, or knocked out and dying. GM should pick lethality level to taste.
Absolutely. Shapechange should be a Talent that a Faithful can take.
There should probably be something for this. You are right. Not sure if it works identically to other spells. You should be able to cast on other characters with a Magic point being expended. How does that stack with mundane defensive Talents? Or does it?
In my view, the rules for warrior do cover what a "thief" can do. There are reasons why I don't feel the need to expressly build out a thief class. They weren't in OD&D, all classes should be trying to do thief-like things in the dungeon, backstabbing should be something any warrior can do with appropriate stunt based Talent etc.
I'm not closed to the idea. I'd like to hear more of an argument for it.
There is 5 pages. Your missing the page where I provide some thoughts on magic items, mounts, and monsters.
Just head over to the downloads page.
Agreed they are a big part of the genre. I do have some notes on the 5th page on magic items. I do think I need a bit more on mundane items and resource management.
We both know that the whole thing needs some expansion of course.
First public playtest of Dungeons Unleashed!
I've run a few games of Dungeons Unleashed! but this past weekend at Breakout (a fantastic convention in Toronto with tons of guest designers) was the first public playtest.
Thanks to Ellery, Allan, and Miko for signing up for Dungeon Unleashed! and exploring the rules, and the adventure! It was Ellery's first ever RPG. I always love introducing new people to roleplaying.
There were two big rules items that are worth discussing from the playtest: armour and cascades.
Current Armour test rules do make starting characters a lot more durable. And damage more predictable. More durable is fine, and I like that it is a diminishing resource, but it does feel a little predictable. To be meaningful there does need to be some costs related to acquiring and maintaining armour in campaign play.
I may experiment with some variations on armour. Thought briefly about armour "saves" to prevent damage to the armour's hits but extra rolling is not ideal. Perhaps a simple addendum that attack successful attack rolls of six bypass armour. Possibly 5s as well for light armour.
Miko played Merrick a former blacksmith turned monk. So he took a talent to represent his ability to fix armour. After a scuffle on a bridge where Kajar's chainmail was damaged, they spent the evening in the small village of Thunton, where Merrick was able to repair Kajar's armour. This felt right.
Context: current test rules give armour a soak stat and hits. Gambeson has soak 1 and hits 3. Chainmail has a soak of 2/1 and hits of 2/3. Gambeson can soak 1 point of damage from a single attack, and can do so 3 times before it is render useless. Chainmail can soak 2 damage twice, and 1 damage 3 times before it is too damaged to be helpful.
Important to note that this makes armour repair an important Talent to have, and gives something to do in "down time."
With the above matchup a the defender is taking 3 points of damage. Starting warriors only get 3 Lifepoints.
A single die change could alter this so that the adventurer takes zero damage. If a player (the defender) could expend a resource to flip that six to a 1, then they would take zero damage.
In Simple Superheroes, characters can expend two Strainpoints to do this, which is quite expensive. I have found it is almost always used defensively, on rare occasions it has been used offensively (even rarer is when both defender and attacker expend points to flip different dice).
In the Dungeon Unleashed mechanics I don't currently have a solve for this.
I had some discussion with Miko, (one of the players at that game, and winner of Iron GM later that weekend) about using some sort of "favour points" with the deities of the setting. This may well be a great solve. I think each deity would have slightly different restrictions on how their favour could be used.
I had a lot of fun running this scenario. It was a scenario designed and ran years ago for AD&D 1ed.
I think the players enjoyed the exploration and "puzzle" aspects, as well as exploring some of the setting elements relating to the deities.
The players did manage to make it to the final chamber and use the Gate of Travel to transport themselves to Darsivia and warn the emperor.

Whether you know him from Ready Steady Cook, Saturday Kitchen Live or his latest roadtrip around the USA, James Martin is an icon of great British cooking.
Speaking to him about his latest cookbook, James Martin's American Adventure, and his first live cooking demonstration in eight years at Fenwick Colchester, Your Home asked the questions everyone is dying to know!
1. What is your food heaven and food hell?
"Food heaven would be langoustines from Northern Ireland or the west coast of Scotland. Just with lemon, nothing else. No fancy mayonnaise. Food hell would be horseradish, wasabi or anything like that. It's food of the devil."
"A can of Red Bull and a Mars bar. Welcome to the world of a chef!"
3. Where is your favourite dog walk?
"The back of my house, over the fields. Cooper walks a little bit further than Ralph. Ralph is more than happy just to walk to the end of the gate and that is about it really. I take Cooper to Yorkshire quite a lot, we go up on the north Yorkshire moores, that's another one of my favourites. Cooper is a working dog, just coming up to two years old. I'll get him full time when he's three."
4. Which place surprised you the most on your USA road trip?
"Texas. Texas was amazing. Not just the place, but the people – the food was fantastic too! You have a certain opinion of a place when you haven't been there and you don't realise how big it is either. It takes four days to drive across the state if you're driving day and night. It is so massive and a bit surreal when you arrive. You think that the whole cowboy outfit is a bit of a laugh but everyone is wearing it. If you aren't wearing it then you look a muppet – you've got to blend in.
"It is a place that I would definitely go back to. Even to such an extent that I nearly looked at a property there and it will probably be a place on my retirement list. It's amazing and the service is incredible."
5. What is your favourite restaurant?
"I'll give you my hit list! Restaurant Sat Baines is a really good one in Nottingham. Further away would be Paul Ainsworth at No.6, in Padstow. There is a restaurant called The Feathered Nest in Burford, Morston Hall in Norfolk and The Magpie Café in Whitby for fish and chips."
6. What's one thing on your bucket list?
"To go see the penguins…but not in the zoo! And to see an Indian tiger in northern India."
7. Your ideal comfort food?
"Fish and chips. I've been known to travel literally 600 miles for fish and chips. There are only two fish and chip shops; one is in Whitby and the other is in Grimsby. If you are south of Leeds then forget it. It has to be blowing a hooley and p*****g down with rain with snot dripping off your face and freezing cold hands. That's when you know you're in the presence of great fish and chips. The fish has to be from ice cold water as well, which is obviously from the North."
8. Who, dead or alive, would you have at your dream dinner party?
"My Gran. She passed away about 15 years ago. She loved Strictly and I was on the show, so we'd go back through that. My family mean a lot to me, so whenever I get the chance to see them we try and do as much fancy stuff as we can."
9. If you were to use a cookbook from another chef, whose would it be?
"Sat Bains has a great cookbook, but it's so complicated that no one would be able to do anything from it. It's called Too Many Chiefs Only One Indian and it's an amazing coffee table book. I do like Rick Stein too. I like the way he works and his mentality in terms of food – he's the only chef on television that I watch. I feel like I'm learning when I watch him."
10. What's your Easter Sunday meal going to be?
"I've got no idea, because I'm in the Azores, working. I've never been there before. I'm cooking on a Gentleman's boat for three days and then I'm flying back. No doubt i'll probably be stuck in the boat's kitchen eating a cheese sandwich."
James's new cookbook, James Martin's American Adventure, is available now from all good book stores. Don't forget to take a look at Fenwick's upcoming events and cooking demonstrations by clicking here.

Q: Exception in multipart/form-data web service on GlassFish OSE 3.1.2.2 (build 5) After updating from GlassFish OSE 3.1 (build 43) to GlassFish OSE 3.1.2.2 (build 5) multipart/form-data web services doesn't work any more. There is a NullPointerException caused in com.sun.jersey.moxy.MoxyMessageBodyWorker.typeIsKnown (see stack trace below for details). I've seen there was a problem with multipart/form-data requests in 3.1.2 but this should have been fixed in 3.1.2.2.

Fortunately, Ahmed is so good in the central role that we are gripped by Changez's journey. His internalised performance helps us get under the character's skin, feeling his emotional confusion and understanding his difficult decisions. Yes, the film is a vital, provocative exploration of both the War on Terror and, even more intriguingly, the fragility of the American Dream. And director Nair keeps every scene taut and suggestive while expertly capturing the settings. But the choppy narrative, watered-down casting and some corny plotting (including an unnecessarily explosive finale) leave us little to really think about.
