5/1 Sargeant Earns First Win of 2017 for Cunningham Motorsports at Salem
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (May 1, 2017) – In 2016 Dalton Sargeant turned his first laps in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards at Salem Speedway. One year later, he found himself waving the checkered flag at the same historic track where he made his series debut. Sargeant, the first ARCA driver since 2006 to lap an entire field to win a race, brought Cunningham Motorsports its first victory in the 2017 season in his No. 77 Big Tine Ford Fusion in the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers 200.
"It was a great day for everyone at Cunningham Motorsports yesterday," said Sargeant. "Everyone worked so hard to get this car ready for Salem and going into the race we knew we had a car that could win. This race track is tough and exciting to run. Last year I made my ARCA debut here and to be able to come back one year later and win is really special. There was some pressure coming into this season in the championship car and it feels great to get that first win out the way so we can look ahead and just focus on winning more races from here on out."
The 19-year-old from Boca Raton, Fla. started in the seventh spot and slowly worked his way through the field on a long green flag run…and by lap 64, the No. 77 Big Tine Ford Fusion was up to the fifth position. With a late race caution on lap 130, Sargeant had made his way into second when he came in for four fresh General Tires and Sunoco fuel.
"I just kept telling him to race the track and keep his mind clear," said crew chief Chad Bryant. "He was able to work the lines he needed to and he made moves when he needed to. Salem is a tough track with lap traffic and he stayed focused and worked his way through to get to the top. When the caution came and we came in to pit, he just needed to make a strong restart and hold his line…and he did."
Restarting on the outside line, Sargeant went three-wide into turns one and two and secured the lead by the time he hit the entrance of turn three. From there Sargeant began to take dominance, eventually lapping each car in the field before finding victory lane, earning his second win in the ARCA Racing Series.
"I knew I had to stay patient the entire race and that my time would come and on that restart…I knew it was my time," said Sargeant. "I took the outside line and just stayed with it and pushed hard coming out of turn two and once we took the lead, it was just maintaining a fast pace and staying out of trouble until the last lap. Cunningham always has good, fast cars each race and this win is a testament to how hard this team works to make sure we have a chance to win every weekend. I can't wait to keep the momentum going and bring this No. 77 Big Tine Ford Fusion to victory lane again this season."
Next up for Sargeant and Cunningham Motorsports is Talladega Superspeedway. The General Tire 200 is set for Friday, May 5, at 6 p.m. EDT and will air live on FS1.

It's important to keep in mind that a mommy makeover does involve surgery, so it's good to take steps to plan things out well in advance and prepare accordingly. The first step is usually going to involve reading and researching about this type of procedure. You want to have a good base of stock knowledge from which to begin. Thanks to the internet, this shouldn't be such a problem.
Then, you need to consider where you will go to seek more tailored advice. You could go to our mommy makeover surgery New York clinic or our mommy makeover surgery New Jersey clinic. You can talk to our staff about what you are not satisfied with regarding your post-pregnancy body and what changes you would like to happen. Our staff can then advise you on the procedures that will apply. These can range from a breast augmentation and breast implants, to a breast reduction. Or you might be looking at something like a breast lift.
You can also find out from our staff what steps need to be taken to prepare for the makeover. Some of these steps will be a matter of timing. For example, if you are still nursing a child, then you will have to wait before any breast augmentation can be done. You will also need to talk about whether any possible weight gain or weight loss is likely in your near future. Any major changes in weight after the procedure can affect the final outcome.
If you have follow up questions as you prepare, you can always pose them to our mommy makeover specialist New York staff or our mommy makeover specialist New Jersey staff. They would welcome any further questions, and they have the knowledge needed to provide you with the right answers and point you in the right direction.

Mark Hamill's Ear Saved His Crushed Nose After Grisly Car Crash
Mark Hamill's name is synonymous with Luke Skywalker, which is in turn synonymous with Star Wars. Hamill has come to represent the intergalactic movie franchise, even if he will probably no longer appear in the new episodes.
His character, Luke, has grown and changed a lot over the course of the films. Although he started as a whiny boy on Tatooine, he met his challenges head on, and changed for the better. Luke ended up using the force to change the course of history for the better. Hamill has also had his own share of personal trials, including a terrible car accident.
Mark Hamill was involved in a serious accident in 1977
Hamill was a budding young actor in 1977 when, according to Ranker, his BMW flipped over on an exit ramp and almost ruined his career.
According to Hamill, he can't remember exactly how he ended up crashing his car. He does say he was going fast, but everything else about the accident was a blur. Hamill told Gossip Magazine in 1978 that "I was way out in the sticks somewhere and there were no cars and no traffic, thank God. I was going about 65-70 mph… I was speeding, going too fast… and what happened, I think, was that I tried to negotiate an off-ramp and lost control, tumbled over, and went off the road. I fractured my nose and my cheek."
That's probably for the best. His horrific crash left Hamill scarred, and he even required reconstructive surgery. The damage to his nose was so significant that doctors took cartilage from his ear to rebuild it.
'Star Wars' still hadn't come out when Mark Hamill crashed his car
At the time of the accident, Hamill wasn't yet a household name. The first installment of the Star Wars franchise, Star Wars: A New Hope, had been filmed, with Hamill as the lead. But it wasn't set to be released for another few months.
Hamill starred in another movie, Corvette Summer, that had also wrapped but not been released. If Hamill's accident had been any worse, Star Wars may have never finished filming the original trilogy.
As it was, Hamill thought his budding career was over when he saw his face. There is a lot of debate over whether or not the accident noticeably changed Hamill's features, but some of the people who spent the most time with him thought it did. Carrie Fisher, Hamill's Star Wars costar, thought his face looked different after the accident.
Fisher even asserted that Lucas changed the script of The Empire Strikes Back to explain the change in facial features.
Was the 'Empire Strikes Back' script altered because of Hamill's accident?
Interestingly, no one seems to agree. George Lucas claims that the script of the second Star Wars installment wasn't changed after Hamill's accident. Fisher, on the other hand, said it was.
In the very beginning of the movie, a Wampa, which is a yeti-like creature that lives on the frozen planet of Hoth, attacks Luke. The scene shows his face getting pretty badly damaged from the attack. Some, including Fisher, claim that this scene was added after the accident, as a way of writing Hamill's facial changes into the script.
Lucas says that's not the case. He claims that the scene was always in the script, even before Hamill's accident.
Although the Empire script was written after Hamill's accident, Lucas didn't feel like the damage would be an issue. He said in the Blu-Ray commentary for the movie that he thought fans would buy Luke looking rougher after years of living as a rebel.
"My feeling was some time had passed, they've been in the Rebellion fighting, that kind of thing, so the change was justifiable. There's a scene in the film where Mark gets beat up by the [Wampa], which helps even more, but that wasn't really the meaning of why we wrote the monster in the beginning."

Our university client was using BlackBoard to support a series of courses. When BlackBoard was updated, their existing content had to be adapted as well. To develop new courses TrainSmart was brought on board.
TrainSmart provided a Project Manager and team of remote BlackBoard developers who established processes and procedures to simplify interactions with the university's faculty. The team also established a time tracking method to ensure budget verification.
Until the university developed onsite BlackBoard expertise, the TrainSmart team moved the existing curriculum to the new BlackBoard release and implemented previously unused BlackBoard functionality for use of supplemental material, assignment tracking, and group assignments. TrainSmart designed and developed six new courses and coached the university BlackBoard team on how to train. The university is still working on development.

 |
 | Description:
 |  This is the source file for the SoDirectionalLightDragger.
 |  This is a composite dragger which allows independent rotation,
 |  and translation for a directional light.
 |  When working on a directional light, the translation serves only
 |  to position the dragger in space, but has no effect on the lights
 |  direction.
 |
 |  It is composed of an SoRotateSphericalDragger (for rotation),
 |  and an SoDragPointDragger (for translation),

Involuntary Human Servitude
by Barbara Kralis
The seventh of a sixteen part series on human trafficking and Slavery. The author conducted numerous interviews and was granted the use of copyrighted pictures by US Ambassador John R. Miller as well as by two NGO Directors. The plight of human beings at the hands of the slave lords is a deporable situation and this special analysis with the aid of poignant photographs exposes this hidden crime.

Involuntary servitude: This sordid form of servitude is experienced mainly by migrant low-skilled laborers trafficked into prosperous areas from poverty-stricken communities under the guise of paid labor. Victims find shortly after arrival that they cannot escape their working conditions without beatings and the threat of deportation or imprisonment. Experiencing physical and emotional abuse, they perceive themselves to be slaves or captives, as they often are.
Miguel's plight in Florida "When I came into the U.S., it was nothing that I earned, it was a false dream and in the end I was here working and I was a slave. We hadn't eaten for three days so we were [stutters] hunger of three days and we just came here like that. Then the coyote says, 'If any of you a--holes try to leave without paying back your ride, that is when I am gonna really f--- you up.' There were 40 guys on payroll for the owner, the Ramos Family, and they were there to watch us work. One day I overheard the boss talk about a worker who ran away. 'Oh, we're gonna get that m----- f-----. We're gonna get him, we're gonna grab him and we're gonna throw him into the pond with the alligators and kill him.' We saw the guy they beat up and he was bleeding from his lip from a huge gash on his forehead all the way down his face to his lip. I couldn't take any of this slavery anymore. This is where I was mad. We called for help. We had a plan."
One day, the slaves from the orange grove began to run to a car on the side of the road belonging to Lucas, an opponent of involuntary servitude. Miguel said it was because of Lucas' coalition that they were rescued and saved. The three Ramoses were sentenced to a total of 32 years in prison. The big companies they contracted for were never investigated. Miguel is legally working in a U.S. warehouse now, and sending money to pay for his son's medicine. Lucas continues to organize fellow workers at the "Coalition of Immokalee Workers" to fight slavery in Florida.
Contract slavery: This is the most rapidly growing form of slavery, the second-largest today. Dr. Kevin Bales of FreeTheSlaves.net explained: "Contracts are offered that guarantee employment perhaps in a workshop or factory, but when the workers are taken to their place of work, they find themselves enslaved. The contract is used as an enticement to trick an individual into slavery as well as a way of making the slavery look legitimate, but the reality is that the "contract worker" is really a slave, threatened by violence, lacking any freedom of movement, and paid nothing." Contract slavery is most often found in Southeast Asia, Brazil, some Arab States, and Indian subcontinent nations such as Thailand.
Rajila's story
Rajila, age 30, left her home in India to work in Saudi Arabia, based on promises of a good salary and free housing from a company that supplies laborers for hospitals. However, what seemed like a dream opportunity turned out to be a nightmare. Rajila, together with other foreign women, was forced to work 12-hour shifts, six days a week. She was never paid. The "free" housing was excruciatingly confining, and, when the women returned from work, they were locked in their rooms. Once a week they were escorted to the local market to purchase groceries and other necessities. She and other Muslim laborers from India were not allowed to practice their faith in local mosques. Rajila left Saudi Arabia, taking with her no accumulated salary from three and a half years of uninterrupted work.

"Close Encounters", Trenton, NJ. Included in the Ellarslie Open XXIV, Trenton City Museum, where it received the Trenton Museum Society Purchase Award.
Jeff Goodwin is a photographer residing in Yardley , Pennsylvania . When not taking pictures, Jeff earns a living as President of a computer consulting firm, InSys Technology LLC . He is a member of the Newtown Camera Club and his photos have won numerous prizes in club contests. In addition, his work has been included in the Annual Juried Competition/Show of the NJ Chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP), in the prestigious Phillips Mill Photography Exhibit in New Hope , PA, and is on display as part of the Ellarslie Open XXIV at the Trenton City Museum April - June, 2006. His photo "Close Encounters" received the Trenton City Museum Society Purchase Award adding it to the Museum's permanent collection. His work has also been shown at the Triumph Brewery in New Hope, PA, and in a number of International Exhibitions including, most recently, the Wilmington International Exhibition of Photography and the Greater Lafayette International Exhibition. One of his photos, "Monks at Angkor Wat" (See section on Vietnam/Cambodia below), was selected as a finalist in Smithsonian Magazine's 2005 Photo Competition. It appeared in the July 2005 issue of Smithsonian Magazine and was on display in the National Museum of American History in Washington, DC during the Summer of 2005. His work may be seen in a number of galleries including The Gallery on Lafayette, Trenton, NJ, the Delaware River Gallery, Yardley, PA, and Kathleens' Gallery and Framing, Newtown, Pa.
"I like photographing the mundane -- where and how people live, work, study, sleep, and eat. While our monuments and our art tell us what kind of people we would like to be, the mundane in our lives tells us what kind of people we are. Having said that, when viewing photos, we must remember that all photography is inherently dishonest. A painting, a sculpture, or a novel are clearly fiction. Knowing that, we judge them aesthetically and welcome whatever truths they communicate. A photograph, by contrast, is assumed to be a true representation of something concrete. Nothing could be further from the truth. A snapshot of a moment in time, cropped physically and temporally and displayed on its own, is being used for the purposes of the photographer. In the words of so many works of fiction, any resemblance between my photos and places or persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental." Photographing dogs, and particularly photos in retriever field trials and hunt tests, is also a passion of Jeff's. For information on his own dogs, visit Jeff's website at http://www.yardleylabs.com.

From Cannes to Charlottesville, from fashion to film, the season of the film festival is an exciting one. And it's that time of year in Charlottesville! The Virginia Film Festival begins tomorrow, November 3, and runs through Sunday, November 6, and brings the best of international, domestic, and local films to the theaters of Cville every year. And Darling is partnering with the festival to bring you the best of Virginia's film festival style. Giving a nod to the renown French film festival, and to the many black & white and historical film screenings happening at Vinegar Hill Theater, I styled this adorable VFF Intern, Lucie Lyon, in a black & white, European-inspired ensemble. It all began with the j'adore sweater, and quickly became a modern, chic look with classic elements - like the red lip and locket-look necklace, declaring our love for Virginia and this wonderful festival. The mod mini skirt, silk scarf, geometric clutch, and platform booties give this look a modern edge, perfect for the cultured film go-ers of today.
Darling adores the Virginia Film Festival! How will you get styled for the weekend festivities? Leave a comment or show us your #vffstyle on Instagram, and win two ticket vouchers, available for pick up at the shop!

Types of Online Slots
With over 450 games on offer, we've got something for the casino newbie, to our oldest veterans. From our good old classic slots, to brand new games with flawless graphics and atmospheric soundtracks. There are even slots based on movies, such as Jurassic World™; musicians and television shows, like Game of Thrones™ and Narcos™. And of course, we also offer some very popular progressive jackpot slots, where some of our players have become millionaires. Take a look at our online slot machine categories below and discover what you're interested in.
Classic slots: Everyone has probably seen a classic slot in their local pub or pier, and there's a reason for that. These slots stand the test of time with their easy mechanics and vintage vibe. If you've seen a classic fruit slot machine, then you'll have the basics down. Great for beginners, these games usually come with three-reels and can have one, three or four paylines, making it easy to understand. These traditional slots don't typically use high resolution video animation and are usually more focused on the gameplay.
Video slots: These are the more modern slots that tend to blend video game features with online slots. Their use of modern 3D graphics and technology create more of an atmospheric experience, and even showcase more elaborate soundtracks. On the whole they use at least five paylines, with some even boasting up to 100 paylines.
Jackpot slots: If you're looking for something a little different, then progressive slots and their huge jackpots will be right up your street. These games are often the most popular type of online slots, due to their often larger than average payouts. In many examples, payouts have reached into the millions by simply landing the winning combination.
Mobile slots: Many of our players like to sit in the comfort of their own home, but in case you need to leave the house, we've got you covered. You can now play many of our online slots, via our mobile app, giving you the freedom to play anywhere, anytime.
Our large catalogue of online slots means that you could play one game a day for a year, and still have some left over. That's hundreds of adventures, including meeting mermaids and royalty. Play traditional fruit machines, to Mega Money Multiplier. Whatever your choice, we're sure you'll be pleased. Take a look at our popular slots list below and see if any of them interest you.
Starburst: Starburst is a fast paced, vibrant slot, with a nostalgic traditional arcade feel. The game is based around Starburst wilds and these wilds appear on the three middle reels, expanding to give you up to three re-spins. This mesmerising game also offers up to £50,000, which could be yours. Join us for this intergalactic slot to see if you too, could be a winner.
Cleopatra: Tackle the new Cleopatra Bonus feature where you could earn yourself up to 180 Free Spins, and all you have to do is land a 3x multiplier. This stunning game may be a classic slot, but it has certainly pushed out all the stops on the overall look. Cleopatra offers five reels and 20 paylines, making this the perfect game for beginners.
Da Vinci Diamonds: Bathe in the luxury of our slot, Da Vinci Diamonds, to see what one of our most popular games has in store for you. This online slot showcases tumbling reels, as well as a Free Spins feature where you can get up to 300 extra spins. You'll feel as if you're really in the casino with its stunning graphics and elegant soundtrack to match.
Immortal Romance: Immortal Romance is not for the faint hearted. Follow the vampires on their journey towards romance and of course, Free Spins. It's easy to see why this slot is one of our most popular games, its haunting graphics and gothic style soundtrack are an absolute spectacle. Start of on this favourite, with five reels and a massive, 243 paylines. A game to surely sink your teeth into.
Gonzo's Quest: Fancy an adventure? Land yourself a new challenge on our slot, Gonzo's Quest. Follow Gonzo as he journeys to find the Lost City of Gold, Eldorado. It's unique avalanche feature could land you up to a 5x multiplier for every winning spin, giving you an astonishing payout. This game also offers a Free Falls Bonus feature, giving you up to 10 Free Spins and a possible 15x multiplier. Come along and check it out.
Online slot rules are primarily the same, but each game may vary in structure. There may be different bonuses, added features, a different pay-out structure or a change in the number of paylines.
To start off you need to decide what bet to place, always making sure it stays within your budget range. Minimum bets change on each game, so you could be placing a bet of £0.10, whereas another could be set at £1.00. Once you understand the betting structure, the only thing left to understand are the slot game's paylines, which are incredibly simple.
To put it simply, the payline is the line on which a payout will be awarded, depending on your winning combinations. To add another bet to your spin, all you need to do is activate another payline. Some paylines go from left to right, which is what you would see in classic slots, up and down, as well as zig zag, giving you a wide variety of ways to play in the casino.
Pretty much all slots will let you choose how many paylines you want to play with, and the more paylines in operation, the more chances you'll get at a winning combo.
Take a look at our terminology guide below:
Payline: A payline is a combination of symbols that results in a win. Each game has a different number of paylines.
Reel: This is the part of the slot machine that shows the symbols. Activate your game by spinning the reels and you could win a possible jackpot.
Scatter Symbol: There's a wide variety of slot games, but usually a set number of scatter symbols can trigger a bonus feature, or offer you Free Spins.
Free Spins: Land a set amount of scatter symbols and you'll trigger the Free Spins round. Some slots offer as many as 15 Free Spins.
Multiplier: These multiply your winnings, if activated. For example, a pay-out of £100 and a 3x multiplier, would land you with £300 in cash.
Wilds
Wild Symbols: You can use a wild to substitute any other symbol on the reel. This will allow you to create a winning combination, where there normally wouldn't be one.
Expanding Wilds: Wild symbols and expanding wilds are the same, except this time your wild will expand across the reel, allowing you to cover an entire column and sometimes giving you the chance to win across more than one payline.
Stacked Wilds: Stack more than one on top of the other and it will work the same way as a regular wild.
Slot FAQs
What slots are the best?
You'll find hundreds of online slots to choose from at Betway, and when it comes to which slots are the best, it's really up to you and your playing style.
If you prefer straight forward nostalgic gameplay, opt for a classic slot reminiscent of the one-armed bandits that you'd find in your local pub or amusement arcade.
Or if you'd rather something modern with more bonus features, go for a video slot. These tend to come with more paylines, richer storylines, and sleek animations for a more immersive gaming experience.
For the chance to win a jaw-dropping cash prize pool, try one of our jackpot slots. You'll find these all in one place, under the 'Jackpot' tab.
Can you win real money playing slots?
Yes, you can win cash by playing online slot games. And with our Flexi Bonus, you have the ability to withdraw cash funds at any time.
By withdrawing your cash funds, you will forfeit any remaining bonus balance. To keep your bonus balance, simply ensure the wagering requirements are met before withdrawing any cash.
What is RTP?
RTP stands for 'Return To Player'. The figure helps to indicate the likelihood of winning by calculating the percentage of wagers that a specific slot will return to the player.
Depending on the game type, RTP can either be calculated based on previous wins, or by a simulated approach.
For example, if you place a bet of £/$/€100.00 on a slot with 90% RTP, you could expect to get back £/$/€90.00 in winnings in the long term. Anything could happen in the short term.
What is a progressive jackpot?
A progressive jackpot is a jackpot that keeps rising every time someone plays a specific slot, until a lucky player wins the prize pool and it's reset.
A percentage of every qualifying wager goes towards the jackpot. And some of our progressive jackpots are shared by other casinos, meaning that people from all over the world could be contributing to the jackpot at the same time.
Which slots have the highest payout?
The important thing to remember here is that slot games are random. It's almost impossible to predict which slot will give you the highest payout.
Opting for a slot with a higher RTP% could help to indicate the likelihood of winning, but it's not a guarantee.
What slots have the best bonuses?
Modern video slots tend to offer more bonus features than classic slots. To browse the latest additions to our collection, head to the 'New Games' tab. Here you'll find our newest slots, including remastered versions of older games with new features added.
Do Betway offer Free Spins?
At Betway we offer a range of rewards for you to take advantage of, including Free Spins, but it depends on which country you're playing in.
Some of the offers you may find available to you include: Free Spins, Free Bets, Free Credits, cash prizes and more.
Do I have to download software to play?
No, you don't have to download any software to play our slots. All our slots are hosted on our website or app, simply choose a game to start playing.
If you're playing on your mobile, make sure you have the latest version of our app installed and are using the most up-to-date version of the operating system available for your device.
What slot providers are there?
We use dozens of software providers from across the globe to bring you the very latest and greatest online slots.
Depending on the country you are playing in, you may see games from: Microgaming, NetEnt, IGT, Scientific Games, Red Tiger, betgames.tv, Pragmatic Play and more.
Are there any free slots?
We don't offer a free play option, but we have a range of offers available (depending on the country you're playing in) that may allow you to test out a specific game or set of games for free. For example, 10 Free Spins or £/$/€10 in Bonus Credit.
What is a paytable?
A paytable shows a list of payouts for each symbol on a particular slot. It displays the number of coins/credits or amount of cash you'll win, depending on how many of a kind of each symbol you land on a payline.
Are slots random?
Yes, slots machines are random. They use random number generators to produce an outcome to ensure the results are truly random.
It's important to remember that slots don't work on a cyclical basis, neither do slots become 'hot' or 'cold', they just appear to in retrospect.
What are the odds of winning online slots?
The chance of winning on an online slot is not something you can predict with any degree of certainty.
A slot's RTP% could help indicate how much you may get back in winnings in the long term. But it's just an indication, not a guarantee.
Are slots safe to play?
Online slot machines are safe to play as long as you're having an enjoyable experience. Gambling should only ever be for entertainment and not used as a source of income.
We understand that gambling can cause harm, which is why we have a full range of tools to help you manage your gameplay.

How Can Empiribox Help Your School Fulfill the National Curriculum for Science?
Written by Jenny Smitherman who is a qualified teacher and has first class honours in primary education with 12 years of teaching experience in primary schools.
The national curriculum clearly states that all children should be taught full and enriching science at primary schools, complete with practical lessons and inspiring ideas. This sounds fairly straight forward, but when there are 12 different programmes of study for KS2 alone, it can become quite overwhelming for a non-science specialist.
Throughout the national curriculum, reference is made to the use of practical investigations to deepen children's understanding and to promote experience in the use of basic equipment as well as increasing their knowledge year on year. Emphasis is also made on deepening a child's understanding of the world in which they live and inspiring them with the wonders of science.
"Science has changed our lives and is vital to the world's future prosperity, and all pupils should be taught essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of science. Through building up a body of key foundational knowledge and concepts, pupils should be encouraged to recognise the power of rational explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena. They should be encouraged to understand how science can be used to explain what is occurring, predict how things will behave, and analyse causes." Taken from the Science Programmes of Study, September 2013.
But what does the national curriculum for science actually mean?
The first step is to break it down and understand what the requirements for children are. The second is to make sure it is understood how each of these areas can be fulfilled whilst teaching. Below is a chart to show the areas of the national curriculum at KS2 and how you can fulfill these with Empiribox.
By the end of KS2, it is expected that children have a basic understanding of the scientific methods, how science can be applied to everyday life and have an innate curiosity to the world around them. Using Empiribox, all of this becomes second nature for students as our lessons encourage their natural scientist to bloom.
Teaching the science curriculum can seem overwhelming when first reading through the requirements, but breaking it down into bitesize chunks makes it a lot easier to understand and it becomes achievable.
Empiribox has gone to great lengths to ensure that children meet the national curriculum requirements with our service, whilst also building on the basic principles of science and correcting any misconceptions that they may have. This solid foundation gives them the opportunity to start the next phase of their education already bursting with ideas and enthusiasm for the wonders of science.
Gabriel Foundation Teaches Empiribox in Mumbai
Beverley Crowne, her husband Nicholas and best friend Anne Marie Cooklin from Mill Hill in north London will be delivering jaw dropping, practical science lessons to children in the poorest areas of Mumbai for six weeks in the new year, thanks to Empiribox. Their science package comes complete with equipment, training, lesson plans, schemes of work and assessment tools so that teachers with no specialist science knowledge can deliver inspiring lessons with experiments that children will remember for the rest of their lives.
Empiribox has given Beverley, Nicholas and Anne Marie free places on continual professional development sessions for primary teachers in south London schools and is donating all the science equipment that the group will take to India.
The team at Empiribox is keen to help because the challenge fits well with their company's mission to create strong, sustainable and socially inclusive primary school science education across the UK and internationally.
Beverley, Nicholas and Anne Marie are going to India as part of the Gabriel Project Mumbai (GPM), a Jewish volunteer-based initiative which provides hunger relief, literacy, numeracy and health services to vulnerable children. The group will spend some weeks working in Mumbai's Kalwa slum before moving on to the Palghar district, a rural area, delivering exciting sessions from the Empiribox science curriculum to children in around 20 local villages.
"We were daunted at first," said Beverley, "Especially when we realised that we had so little science knowledge and would be working in classrooms with no electricity or water, teaching children who had never had a science lesson in their lives." But they have all been delighted by the support they have received. Gailarde, an Elstree company providing household textiles for industry, hotels and ships, has offered to make sure that the Empiribox science equipment reaches Mumbai in one piece.
The trio spent an afternoon at Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School on December 7 putting their new-found knowledge and skills to the test with children from years 4, 5 and 6 as they taught them about potential and kinetic energy through a series of exciting activities. The children spent the lesson devising trials for springy toys, rolling ball bearings down a runway and experimenting with different lengths and weights to see how they affected the swing of a pendulum. Teachers at Etz Chaim commented that children were enthusiastic and engaged and the new teachers enjoyed it too.
"Empiribox is fun and exciting for children," said Anne Marie. "I remember finding science dull at school, but all the interaction and practical sessions spark an enthusiasm for science and scientific thinking. It's like a magic show that enthrals the pupils."


March is Women's History Month, and this year International Women's Day (8 March) is 100 years old. To mark the occasion, the History Carnival is running a Women's History blogging event throughout the month.
There will be at least one Carnival post, but we'd like to do much more than that! We'll publicise any great blogging or themed events we come across (or you tell us about) and generally do our best to encourage discussion and bang the drum for women's history.
And yes, that includes 18th-century literarature folk!
Got any more suggestions? Get in touch!
I'll be hosting the Carnival at Early Modern Notes on about 9 March, just after International Women's Day. (There should be a second Carnival post towards the end of March as well, so don't worry if you miss this one.) In addition to recent posts, there will be a selection of the best women's history blogging since March last year, so you're welcome to send your favourites too!

The Proceedings of the Old Bailey Online 1674-1834 is now the Proceedings of the Old Bailey and Central Criminal Court 1674-1913.
This doesn't only mean that you can now search for 200,000 trials held at the Old Bailey over a period of 2 and a half centuries. The other new set of goodies of special interest to 18th-century scholars is the full text of (almost) every Ordinary of Newgate's Account between 1690 and 1772 (in the next few months this should expand to a full archive of every known surviving Account from c.1674 onwards).
I've posted before about these grimly fascinating pamphlets. They've been used by a number of historians, including Andrea Mackenzie and Peter Linebaugh, but the surviving pamphlets have been scattered across a number of different libraries and archives. From now on they'll be together in one fully searchable digital archive. Plus, I'm in the process of completing a database that links every convict mentioned in the Accounts to their trial, providing it has a surviving report (perhaps 3/4 of the links have already been made).
This should make for some interesting research possibilities. For example, historians often argue that women who successfully 'pleaded their bellies', ie had their death sentence postponed on grounds of being pregnant, usually escaped hanging. In fact, we say that in our own background section. But I'm not so sure. Through the process of cross-referencing trials and Ordinary's Accounts, I've already discovered several women whose sentences were respited for pregnancy but subsequently carried out (eg in September 1695. So what I'll be asking (once I've finished making the damned links) is: how many were executed and how many were permanently reprieved? Have we historians been getting it wrong? Answering those questions wasn't impossible before now, but it would have been extremely difficult. And there will, no doubt, be many more possibilities like this.
The other news, because I haven't been plugging it enough and you've probably all forgotten, is that we're holding a conference in July to celebrate the relaunch: The Metropolis on Trial, in the throbbing metropolis of… Milton Keynes. If you'd like to attend, registration is open and you can download a booking form at the website.
The criminals went to the place of execution in the following order, Morgan, Webb, and Wolf, in the first cart; Moore in a mourning coach; Wareham and Burk in the second cart; Tilley, Green, and Howell in the third; Lloyd on a sledge; on their arrival at Tyburn they were all put into one cart. They all behaved with seriousness and decency. Mary Green professed her innocence to the last moment of the fact for which she died, cleared Ann Basket, and accused the woman who lodged in the room where the fact was committed. As Judith Tilley appeared under terrible agonies, Mary Green applied herself to her, and said, do not be concerned at this death because it is shameful, for I hope God will have mercy upon our souls; Catharine Howell likewise appeared much dejected, trembled and was under very fearful apprehensions; all the rest seemed to observe an equal conduct, except Moore, who, when near dying, shed a flood of tears. In this manner they took their leave of this transitory life, and are gone to be disposed of as shall seem best pleasing to that all-wise Being who first gave them existence.
In the course of my research over the years, I've read the records of coroners' inquests – murders, gruesome accidents, negligence and cruelty – and they are distressing and disturbing, yet they don't evoke quite the same sense of culture shock as do the pamphlets containing accounts of executions like the one above.
Ordinary's Accounts are one of the many sources we're digitising in the Plebeian Lives project. These are rich and fascinating sources, full of stories of the lives of common people. But they are also stories of death, and they give me the willies.
So, I wasn't quite sure what to make of Andrea McKenzie, since she has written an entire, densely detailed book about the subject and the source: Tyburn's Martyrs: Execution in England 1675-1775. She must be a tougher soul than me.
In fact, at the very beginning of the book she mentions some of the bemused reactions she received from people learning what her research topic was, including the gentleman who suggested that she should study "something pleasant, like great battles".
McKenzie suggests that "the gallows were… a stage on which the condemned fought what contemporaries would have viewed as the greatest battle of all, publicly confronting the so-called 'King of Terrors': death". Moreover, "the language of martyrology, legitimation and resistance were intertwined… traitors, martyrs, murderers and robbers alike drew from a common eschatology in which the 'good death' was not only an ultimate goal, but a powerful political and metaphysical statement'.
As she acknowledges, "there is much about early modern English sensibilities – or what we would see as the lack thereof – to horrify the modern reader". But this is not a good reason to shy away from the topic: early modern attitudes towards execution are revealing of wider belief systems, which saw life as "not sacred, but forfeit… as a result of original sin". Execution "was at the very heart of everyday contemporary eschatological discourse".
McKenzie documents the journeys made by the condemned from Newgate to Tyburn, the reactions of observers to the behaviour of those on the gallows, depending on whether they were perceived to have made a 'good' death. The actions of the watching crowd often depended on their attitude towards individual convicts: the notorious and despised Jonathan Wild, for example, was pelted with stones.
She also traces the history of the publications that constitute her main sources, the 'last dying speeches' and Ordinary's Accounts, and their decline in the later 18th century with the cultural rejection of the spectacle of the scaffold and its printed artefacts as vulgar and barbaric. McKenzie makes it clear that the Ordinary's Account – and often its author – was frequently considered vulgar well before its decline.
The complex balancing act of 'dying well' on the gallows – striving for a "happy mean between presumption and despair" – is chronicled in detail. While the condemned were exhorted to think of Jesus as an exemplar, they were not supposed to go so far as to suggest that his innocence also mirrored theirs.
And promis'd to pay for it when he'd come back.
He swore from his Cart, it was all a damn'd Lye.
Still, the obstinate 'game' criminals served as useful counterpoints to the properly and tearfully (but not too tearful, especially the men) penitents, for the Ordinary's moralising purposes. Their 'false courage' (mainly due to alcohol, according to the Ordinary) could be contrasted to genuine 'Christian courage', their pride made their fall inevitable and all the more instructive.
But it was difficult to doubt the courage of one group killed by the early modern English state: those who underwent peine forte et dure – pressing to death – for their obdurate refusal to plead to charges against them. Some may have done this to prevent the seizure of their estates following a trial; but by the 18th century that was not very likely to happen in any case. McKenzie suggests that the decision to endure this torture represented a challenge to, a rejection of, the authority of the courts, allowing them to 'seize the initiative' and 'demonstrate their resolution and courage' to the world.
Peine forte et dure was abolished in 1770, by which time it was seen by educated elites as 'irrational and benighted' as well as barbaric and cruel. Similarly, by then, the public theatre of Tyburn no longer had the cultural and moral resonance that it had had in the early 18th century; the Ordinary's Account ceased publication in the 1770s. The Tyburn procession was abolished in 1783 – though not because it was unpopular, but because it was too rowdy and undisciplined.
There is, McKenzie concludes, a cultural gulf between 1675 and 1775 "so wide that, from the vantage point of the twenty-first century, we can barely see our way across it". She views the change in terms of not a 'decline' in religiosity but its 'redefinition': the rejection of 'enthusiasm' and providentialism in favour of "a 'rational religion in which rationality was both a human and divine attribute", and which emphasised internalised virtues rather than public displays. McKenzie's study demonstrates the benefits of overcoming our horror and at least attempting to understand what made the people of the early 18th century tick.
The Internet contains everything from newspapers and magazines to travel accounts, from maps to sheet music, from woodcuts to oil paintings, from novels to critical essays, from the proceedings of governmental bodies to the intimate details of family life. Searchers can find materials on every imaginable topic: Civil War hospitals; the Salem witchcraft trials; Revolutionary and Civil War battles; proceedings of the Continental Congress, the Constitutional Convention, and the U.S. Congress; slave resistance; Indian battles; the abolition and proslavery movements; the beliefs and religious practices of Evangelicals and Unitarians; the Lewis and Clark expedition; westward migration; economic development and immigration; and the writings of Cotton Mather and Walt Whitman, to name but a few. In sum, there are far more primary sources on the Web than in public libraries (except the greatest) and community college libraries, though many fewer than in the libraries of research universities.
But, as the discussion shows, these can still be difficult to find. Information multiplies endlessly on the Web; we have rapidly gone from scarcity to abundance. But locating that abundance is often a hit-and-miss affair.
Moreover, there is a thoughtful rumination on what these primary sources, the choices made in digitising history, tell us about history and memory.
Putting materials on the Web is a time-consuming process: they must be discovered, digitized, indexed, and uploaded. Historians, archivists, librarians, curators, genealogists, and institutions like the Library of Congress all put historical sources on the Web. These individuals and institutions have competing interests and hold widely contrasting views of American history. As one looks in detail at Web primary sources, one senses great conflict and contests over the meaning of our past, over the historical memories they wish to sustain or suppress. Who holds the keys to our history—historians, archivists, preachers, politicians, ordinary citizens?
This is not a bad time for historians to be giving more thought to these issues. The Web has achieved some maturity as a serious academic resource, although on the technical side there's a long way to go. It seems strange to me that you can still encounter people whose understanding of what's available seems not to have changed since about 1995 (I don't know whether this is a failure of outreach or whether these are just the unreachable); still, the dinosaurs are in the minority.
Nonetheless, there are many historians who need to become more savvy about how to make history digital; what is possible and may become possible, how to get it done, how to get the money to do it. Learn these skills and you have the opportunity to influence public perceptions of your field as well as contributing to scholarly research.
X-posted, slightly revised, from Early Modern Notes.
I'm confused by all these results. If Robert Scott was hanged in 1765, who are all these other Robert Scotts? And some of them are after 1765?!
This is at first glance a slightly daft question – well, obviously, they're all different people but with the same name, aren't they? (The qestion also contains a common misconception about the source, which I'll come back to in a moment.) And yet, at the same time, it's not really silly at all.
They might not all be different people. In our database of the names in the OBP there are 142 instances of the name 'Robert Scott' (including slight spelling variations). (Mind you, this is nothing compared to a name like John Smith, which occurs more than 4000 times.) How do you decide whether one Robert Scott is the same person as another Robert Scott, or someone else altogether?
And this is without even starting on the problem that a significant proportion of those appearing at the Old Bailey were known by more than one name, and some had a string of aliases and nicknames. Oh, and the reporters sometimes got people's names – even those of defendants – just plain wrong.
In other words, identifying the relationship between names and people in early modern sources is often extremely tricky, and the question 'who the hell are all these Robert Scotts?' isn't so daft after all. Which is just as well, really, because this is precisely the kind of problem that'll be keeping me in work for the next couple of years.
This isn't just of concern to family historians trying to work out whether someone is really their ancestor or not. Most historians have to make these linkages, ask these questions, at some time or another in the course of their research. Most of us do it on a small scale by hand; a more select group do it on the large scale with computers and algorithms. I'll hopefully post about both of these later. But in both cases, the process relies on weighing up and ranking probabilities.
Sometimes the answer, either way, is so obvious that the question doesn't even need to be consciously formed. But at the other end of the scale, there are times when it's impossible ever to know because you simply don't have enough information, especially if a name is very common and you have very little contextual information besides the name itself. And I'm sure other historians will have encountered those frustrating borderline cases: if those documents are all referring to the same person, you have a great story. But are you certain enough to rest a serious argument on that identification?
But are you sure he died?
The OBP doesn't in fact tell you that Robert was hanged (this is the misconception I mentioned above); like archival court records of the period, it normally records only the sentence that was passed. But many people sentenced to death in the 18th century were reprieved or pardoned. Unless you have corroborating evidence that the execution was carried out (and this does occasionally appear in OBP), you need to be cautious.
So a Robert Scott in the database after 1765 could be the same guy after all. Told you it was tricky.
I've learned from Intute: Arts and Humanities that Women Writers Online is available FREE!! for the whole of March, to celebrate Women's History Month. It's a treasure trove for the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries, so this is great news.
Intute also has a special feature on web resources for International Women's Day. And while I'm at it, let me point you to my own webpage for all online things early modern and gender-related.
No, not the first conference paper! I have to organise a conference for the first time, as part of my job. In fact, I have to organise two, one for the Central Criminal Court proceedings project and the other, later on, for Plebeian Lives. This is at once an exciting and utterly terrifying prospect.
At the moment I'm not sure exactly what model the conferences will follow. (If anything like the Old Bailey Proceedings conference (Muse), there won't be parallel sessions, which will make life slightly easier.) There's a good chance we'll have delegates from several different continents and each conference will last for at least two days. I should have more information on this by the end of the week.
So, does anyone have advice (what to do and what not to do!) on any aspects of organising an academic conference? Or pointers to webpages containing good advice? It seems quite hard to find useful resources online.
Any tips will be much appreciated!

F1 And Dolphins Hit With Lawsuit Over 'Painful' Miami Grand Prix

Formula One and the Miami Dolphins are being sued by a group of home-owners who want to put the brakes on plans for a Grand Prix around the NFL team's stadium due to the volume of the car engines which racing regulators admit exceeds the threshold of pain.
F1 is famous for the high-pitched scream of its engines. The unmistakeable sound can often be heard from the surrounding roads as spectators drive to the track and this could determine whether its plans for Miami get a green light.
Over the past few years the number of cities F1 has had talks with about hosting a race has accelerated. Everywhere from Cape Town and Copenhagen to Cardiff in Wales have reportedly been in the running for hosting an F1 race on their streets. The driving force behind it is Liberty Media, the investment firm which bought F1 for $4.6 billion in 2017 and listed it on the Nasdaq with the ticker FWONK.
Soon after getting the keys to F1, Liberty began making sweeping changes in a bid to rev up the auto racing series. It changed F1's logo, launched an Esports series, moved to a plush new headquarters, boosted its headcount and even replaced its long-time boss Bernie Ecclestone with 21st Century Fox vice chairman Chase Carey. He announced that F1 would target new races in "destination cities" such as Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Miami and there is good reason for this.
Street races are quicker to get off the ground than those on purpose-built tracks since they don't require construction of a new venue. This means it takes less time for street races to join the calendar and for F1 to drive up its revenue from their hosting fees.

Holding races on city streets also showcases F1 to high-density population concentrations which is ideal in the United States where the series isn't as well-known as its home-grown rivals NASCAR and IndyCar. It may sound like a winning formula but it hasn't been smooth running for Carey.
Since joining F1 in 2017 he has signed two new races and although the first is a street race, it isn't in the United States. The race is due to take place in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, on April 5 but it risks ending up in the pits due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The spread of the flu-like virus in China has forced F1 to postpone its Grand Prix in Shanghai which was scheduled for two weeks after the race in Vietnam. The Southeast Asian country has a border with China which has fueled concern about the upcoming race.
Last week Zak Brown, chief executive of the McLaren team said "obviously it is very nearby (to China) so we are going to monitor the situation." Just yesterday RTL, one of F1's biggest broadcasters, announced that its staff will cover the Vietnam Grand Prix remotely from Germany rather than traveling to the race because "the risks to their health appear to be too great."

The second new race signed by Carey is due to go ahead this year but will be held on a traditional track in the Netherlands rather than a street circuit. Carey's dream of holding a race on the streets of a major US city still hasn't got to the finish line but it isn't for want of trying.
Despite facing repeated roadblocks, Carey has pressed on for the past two years with a plan to host a Grand Prix on the streets of Miami. Elaborate plans were revealed for a 2.6 mile track which was set to run down the palm-tree lined Biscayne Boulevard and pass through the peaceful Bayfront Park. This fueled opposition from locals who sent a cease and desist order to Miami's City Hall and eventually put the brakes on the race.
Undeterred, Carey changed gears and began planning a race around Miami's Hard Rock Stadium even though F1 initially rejected this location.
The stadium is owned by billionaire Stephen Ross who is also set to organize the Miami Grand Prix. It is no secret that Ross is interested in F1 as the 79 year-old sports entrepreneur was in the running to buy the sport but lost out to Liberty. Indeed, the Financial Times reported that Ross, had even "shaken hands" on the deal with the private equity firm CVC which previously owned F1.
Given this background you might not have thought that Ross would be keen on jumping into the passenger seat with Liberty but it has rolled out the red carpet for him.
Unlike most event hosts, Grand Prix organizers generally don't receive a cut of the income from broadcasting, official on-site corporate hospitality or even advertising at the venue. Instead, these revenues race in Liberty's direction whilst the race organizers keep the ticket sales and pay a hosting fee which comes to an average of $29.4 million annually.
However, Liberty agreed to share the risk and the reward of the Miami Grand Prix with Ross. Its plan appeared to turn the corner when the race was moved to the Hard Rock Stadium and in October F1 announced plans for a 10-year run there from 2021. Ross owns so much land at the stadium that the track doesn't need to be held on any public roads and in turn it swerves around a lot of the bureaucracy. However, the impact on the environment is unavoidable.

On October 23 the Miami Gardens City Council unanimously passed a resolution objecting to the F1 race due to the "deafening engine noise...disruption of the regular flow of traffic, and...engine fumes." A week later another vote gave effect to the Council's position but was later vetoed by Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez.
In response Commissioner Barbara Jordan tabled legislation which would remove auto racing as a permitted use for the Hard Rock Stadium. It went to a vote yesterday but wasn't passed as the outcome was a tie.
Echoing this, F1 said that it is looking forward "to the continued progress to bring Formula 1 to Miami-Dade County. We expect this to be an incredible race on the F1 calendar in one of the most exciting cities in the world to visit."
Echoing this, Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium vice chairman and chief executive said he is happy that the commissioners reaffirmed "that the Hard Rock Stadium entertainment complex is a regional facility that exists to benefit all of Miami-Dade County. We are glad to put this long-delayed vote behind us so we can begin to make the multi-million dollar private investment required to bring a race here, and have positive and productive conversations with local leadership about the many benefits that a global event of this nature brings." However, that isn't the end of the story.
After the vote a group of local residents and associations filed a lawsuit in Miami-Dade County against the Dolphins, a number of Ross' race organizing companies and F1 itself. They are seeking an injunction on the F1 race taking place there because they say it would violate county and city noise laws.
According to the Dolphins, an acoustical impact study carried out by Edward Dugger + Associates (ED+A) showed that even in the homes closest to the track sound levels would not cause any hearing damage. The complaint reveals that the Dolphins have suggested building a 10 feet sound buffer on the north edge of the track which they say would reduce maximum sound levels to between 86 and 89 decibels. The complaint adds that increasing the height of the structure to 15 feet would result in maximum sound levels of between 83 and 86 decibels.
Nevertheless, the complaint claims that "residents and institutions within a radius of at least 4,044 meters (13,268 ft, or approximately 2.5 miles) will, to a certainty, experience levels of noise...that will disturb their peace, quiet and comfort, disrupt normal speech, and consequently seriously degrade their quality of life." That's not all.
The complaint says that "according to calculations by the acoustical engineering firm of Leider & Associates, peak noise levels exceeding 97 dBA (similar to the sound levels produced by a chainsaw) can be expected at residences within a 2.5-mile radius of the Stadium, with significantly higher levels at residences closer to the track. Hearing damage is quite possible with exposure to 95 dBA at 50 minutes or 100 dBA at 15 minutes."
The closer to the track, the louder it will be. "Residents closest to the track, within a radius of 95 meters projected on a tangent from the track, can expect to experience the most painful levels beyond those of annoyance," says the complaint. F1 has been contacted for comment whilst the Dolphins declined to do so.
A great deal of research has been done into the sound of F1's engine because of complaints from fans who said that it lost its trademark growl when it was changed from a 2.4 liter V8 to the current 1.6 liter V6 in 2014. The previous year Craig Dolder, a doctoral candidate in acoustical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, said that "noise levels at Formula One races are loud enough to potentially cause hearing loss."
Dolder measured sound levels at three locations around the track at an F1 race and found that the peak was almost 140 decibels, or just below the level known to cause permanent hearing loss.
This reflects research published in 2014 by F1's regulator the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) which said that the volume of the V8 source was 145 decibels. It added that the V6 which is used today is only 7.6% quieter at 134 decibels. According to the FIA's data, this exceeds the threshold of pain and is louder than the front rows of a rock concert.
In a separate study the FIA took thousands of sound measurements during the 2014 United States Grand Prix at the 1,500 acre Circuit of the Americas track. It found that the sound level peaked at more than 110 decibels with the average at 93.8.
Then comes the noise pollution from the air. Between six and seven Boeing 747s are required to transport to each race up to 50 tons of freight per team, 30 containers of hospitality facilities and 150,000 kilograms of broadcast equipment. The jet set clientèle contribute to the noise too with around 4,200 helicopter take offs and landings at the busiest races. Time will tell if they ever get to touch down in Miami.

Aleksey Vasilyevich Alelyukhin (; 30 March 1920– 29 October 1990) was a Soviet World War II flying ace and twice Hero of the Soviet Union who later became a major general. During World War II, Alelyukhin shot down at least 28 enemy aircraft. He served in the 9th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment and went on to a series of postwar command positions, retiring as a major general in 1985. He also flew during the Korean War.

Early life
Alelyukhin was born on 30 March 1920 in Kesova Gora village in Tver Governorate. His family moved to Moscow in the early 1930s. In 1936, he graduated from seven grades of school. He worked at the Kantsprom factory in Moscow. He graduated from the city's Oktyabrsky Flying Club in 1938. In December 1938, he was drafted into the Red Army. In 1939, Alelyukhin graduated from the Borisoglebsk Air Force Pilot School. He was promoted to junior lieutenant on 5 November. He was sent to the 69th Fighter Aviation Regiment in the Odessa Military District.

World War II
Alelyukhin provided air cover during the Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina during June and July 1940, still with the 69th Fighter Aviation Regiment. The regiment was equipped with Polikarpov I-16 fighters. On 22 June 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa. Bessarabia was now on the front line at Alelyukhin fought in the defense of Bessarabia. From early August, Alelyukhin flew with the regiment in the Siege of Odessa. On 2 September, he was slightly wounded by shrapnel in the back and arm. On 8 September, Alelyukhin received a promotion to Lieutenant. He was awarded his first Order of the Red Banner on 5 November. During the fall, the regiment received Lavochkin-Gorbunov-Gudkov LaGG-3 fighters.

On 10 February 1942, Alelyukhin was awarded the Order of Lenin. In March 1942, the regiment became the 9th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment for its actions. On 30 July, he was wounded by shrapnel in the back and arm. In late 1942, Alelyukhin and the regiment flew combat missions during the Battle of Stalingrad. He led six LaGG-3s in an attack on ten Bf 109s and shot down one on 10 August. Weeks later, Alelyukhin was flying alone and was attacked by four Bf 109s. He evaded a Bf 109 on his tail six times and escaped by diving to tree-top level. During this engagement, he was able to shoot down one of the Bf 109s. He was awarded the Order of the Red Star on 22 September. On 19 October, he was promoted to Senior lieutenant. The regiment was reequipped with Yakovlev Yak-1 fighters around this time. Alelyukhin became commander of the regiment's 1st Squadron. He painted his squadron's spinners red, a practice soon adopted by the rest of the regiment. He then fought in the Battle of Rostov during early 1943.

Alelyukhin was promoted to captain on 22 March 1943. In June, he was lightly wounded by shrapnel in the head. He was awarded the Order of Alexander Nevsky on 14 July. During August 1943, the regiment received American Bell P-39 Airacobras, on which Alelyukhin would claim at least seventeen victories. During August and September he fought in the Donbass Strategic Offensive. He was awarded his second Order of the Red Banner on 1 August. On 24 August, Alelyukhin was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union and the Order of Lenin for making 265 sorties and shooting down 11 enemy aircraft in 65 air battles. In September and October, he fought in the Battle of the Dnieper. He was awarded the Order of Suvorov 3rd class on 8 October. On 1 November, he was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union again for making 410 sorties, fighting in 114 air battles and shooting down 26 enemy aircraft.

On 25 March 1944, he was promoted to major. From April to May 1944, Alelyukhin fought in the Crimean Offensive. On 5 May, he shot down an Fw 190 over Crimea, but his aircraft was damaged and Alelyukhin was forced to bail out. He landed between the lines and was rescued by advancing Soviet troops. After the end of the Crimean Offensive, the regiment transferred to Chkalovsky Airport for retraining on the Lavochkin La-7. In July, Alelyukhin became the deputy regimental commander. The regiment returned to the front in October and Alelyukhin fought in the Gumbinnen Operation soon after.

In January 1945, Alelyukhin fought in the Battle of Königsberg. On 27 March, he claimed two Fw 190s over the Baltic west of Pillau. After the fall of Königsberg and the subsequent Samland Offensive in April, the regiment was transferred to fight in the Battle of Berlin. On 19 April, he shot down an Fw 190 over Berlin. Alelyukhin was awarded the Order of the Red Banner a third time on 20 April. According to George Mellinger, Alelyukhin had shot down 40 enemy aircraft and claimed 17 shared victories by the end of the war. He had also made 601 sorties. This would make him the highest scoring pilot of the 9th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment and the 15th highest scoring Soviet flying ace of the war. However, Mikhail Bykov cites proof for a lower figure of 28 victories.

Postwar
On 13 April 1948, Alelyukhin was promoted to lieutenant colonel. In November 1948, he graduated from Frunze Military Academy. In March 1950, he became the deputy commander of the 151st Guards Fighter Aviation Division. In July, Alelyukhin was sent with the division to China, where it became part of the 64th Fighter Aviation Corps and fought in the Korean War. On 20 October 1950, he was promoted to colonel. In November, he became commander of the 28th Fighter Aviation Division, part of the same corps. In December 1951, the division rotated out of China and moved to the Baku Air Defence District. In March 1952, he became head of the department of department of flight services for the Chief of Staff of the Soviet Air Force, a position which he held until November. Alelyukhin graduated from the Military Academy of the General Staff in 1954.

He then became deputy head of the Department of Fighter Aircraft and Air Defence Tactics at the Air Force Academy. In 1956, he became deputy head of the Department of Combat Training Methods at the academy. In 1961, Alelyukhin became chief of staff of the 95th Fighter Aviation Division and Shchuchyn. He transferred to become chief of staff for intelligence of Moscow Military District Aviation in 1963. Between 1970 and 1974, he was the deputy chief of staff for the 26th Air Army at Minsk. On 8 November 1971, he was promoted to major general. From 1974, he was deputy chief of staff of Moscow Military District on display aircraft. Between 1980 and 1985, Alelyukhin served as the deputy chief of staff of the Moscow Military District aviation. He retired in August 1985 and lived in Moscow. Alelyukhin died on 29 October 1990 and was buried in Novodevichy Cemetery.

Greg Dobbs hit a three-run homer and Marcell Ozuna drove in four runs and was a home run shy of the cycle as the Miami Marlins crushed the New York Mets, 11-6, to earn the team's first sweep of the season in the finale of a three-game series at Marlins Park.
Chris Coghlan and Ed Lucas both had four hits and drove in two runs apiece for the Marlins, who last swept New York in a three-game series in Miami on May 28-30, 2009. Wade LeBlanc (1-5) earned the win after relieving starter Kevin Slowey in the fifth.
"The first couple of days here I was just getting acclimated," said Lucas, who was called up to the Marlins on Monday. "We've been winning. I saw my name in the lineup today and it was the first time I got to the park and I thought, I'm here, let's play baseball. Let's get a win. It's not so much about me anymore, it's about the team."
Slowey allowed six runs on six hits over 4 1/3 frames for Miami, which has won three straight following a season-high nine-game losing skid.
"First and foremost, it's another win for us and that's huge," said Slowey. "It's a big series sweep at home."
Lucas Duda, Ike Davis and Omar Quintanilla all homered for the Mets, who held a 6-4 lead through five frames, but saw the club's bullpen give up a combined seven runs to close out the contest. Scott Rice (3-4) absorbed the loss after blowing a save in the sixth. Rice walked four and was charged with three runs in 2/3 of an inning.
Matt Harvey could have made franchise history by becoming the first Mets pitcher to ever remain unbeaten through his first 12 starts of a season (5-0), but the right-hander has just one win over his last eight starts. He lasted a season-low five innings and tied a season-high by yielding four earned runs on 10 hits.
"I'm not happy about the start at all," said Harvey. "I've got to be better, I've got to move on. I'll take my 24 hours and get ready for Friday."
With one out in the fifth and the score tied 4-4, LeBlanc forced Duda into a fielder's choice, putting runners on first and third, but Marlon Byrd followed with an RBI single. Davis kept the rally alive with another run-scoring single down the right-field line to give the Mets a 6-4 lead.
In the bottom of the fifth, though, Miami took the lead in similar fashion and jumped on Rice.
The lefty issued four walks and allowed Ozuna's two-run double which tied the game, and Coghlan's run-scoring groundout that gave the Marlins a 7-6 advantage.
The inning proved to take the wind out of the Mets' sails, as the hosts poured on one run in the seventh and three runs in the eighth. Dobbs' blast in the eighth blew the game open.
Miami surprisingly got to Harvey in the first inning, scoring three runs.
Juan Pierre and Lucas smacked consecutive singles to start the action and came home on Ozuna's triple over the head of Mets outfielder Rick Ankiel, who misjudged the ball in center. Coghlan, made it 3-0 with an RBI double to shallow right.
Duda answered for the Mets in the second by opening up the inning with a shot to right, however, Miami added another run in the home half on Lucas' RBI single up the middle that made it 4-1.
New York fought back over the next two innings and tied the game thanks to a pair of homers. Quintanilla hit one-out bomb in the third and Davis came through in the fourth with a two-run shot to center, his first home run since April 25, knotting the game at 4-4.
New York dropped three straight following a five-game winning streak ... All of Duda's 10 homers this season have been solo shots ... Miami is 6-3 versus the Mets this season ... Harvey also struggled against the Marlins on April 29, lasting a then season-low 5 1/3 innings and allowing one run with seven strikeouts in a 4-3, 15-inning road loss.
