Q: How to automate the activation of Synapse Workspace I am following the official documentation for using Customer Managed Key (CMK) for double encryption for Synapse workspace. Now my question is how to automate this step?
I got the part of granting the Synapse workspace access to the key vault and did automate it with terraform. However, there seems to be no way to do the activation part with terrafrom (azurerm module) or api call.
Can someone give me an idea on how to approach this issue.

A: As I've required this today: Using PowerShell directly, it easily works as following:
Update-AzSynapseWorkspaceKey -WorkspaceName YourWorkspaceName -Activate
=> see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.synapse/update-azsynapseworkspacekey?view=azps-6.3.0
Therefore the script only needs to be integrated into your terraform template, e.g. using https://www.terraform.io/docs/language/resources/provisioners/local-exec.html.
Of course, in this case, additional steps to authenticate within the Az-Cmdlets of PowerShell to Azure might be required.
added details, to answer question on how to do this in REST-API or Azure CLI
In the end, resource provisioning is all about REST APIs.
PowerShell Modules, Azure CLI, Python SDK etc. are only wrappers doing the REST API magic in behind.
And this magic is no secret, but can be investigated:

*

*"--debug" option in Azure CLI, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/get-started-with-azure-cli

*"$DebugPreference" Variable in PowerShell, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/azure/troubleshooting?view=azps-6.3.0
This helps to identify the relevant REST APIs, if you want to do it by yourself.

REST API directly:

*

*Trigger activation

*

*HTTP Method: PUT

*Absolute Uri: https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Synapse/workspaces/{workspaceName}/keys/default?api-version=2021-05-01

*Body:

*

*see docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/synapse/keys/create-or-update#request-body

*Check Workspace
As activation is an async operation, check every few seconds and wait for: properties.encryption.cmk.status == "Consistent"
Request:

*

*HTTP Method: GET

*Absolute Uri: https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Synapse/workspaces/{workspaceName}?api-version=2021-05-01
Azure CLI:

*

*az synapse workspace key update:
Activate a workspace and change it's state from pending to success state when the workspace is first being provisioned through updating a workspace's key. Switching to another CMK after activating the workspace needs to execute 'az synapse workspace update' instead.

*az synapse workspace show

A: There is no way to automate the activation process. We need to do it form portal manually.

Benedictine official in Jerusalem: Deeper issues behind closing Holy Sepulcher
Important for all religions to shoulder their responsibility for promoting peace as spiritual arguments being used to veil the real aim of political conflicts
Christa Pongratz-Lippitt
(For more than one recipient, type addresses separated by commas)
The decision to temporarily close the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem was the local Christian community's cry for help, according to the prior of Dormition Abbey, the Benedictine monastery that sits on Mount Zion just outside the city's ancient walls.
But Father Nikodemus Schnabel OSB, who also serves as spokesman for the Benedictines in Jerusalem, says the deeper reason behind the unprecedented action to close Christianity's holiest site was to preserve the vision and nature of Jerusalem as a holy place for all believers.
"The question is do we want Jerusalem to be a holy city for Jews, Christians and Muslims?" the 39-year-old monk told Domradio.de.
"There are increasing signs that there are forces in Jerusalem that do not share this vision. Certain groups clearly and openly proclaim that Israel belongs to the Jews and that all non-Jews should leave," the German-born monk said.
"I can therefore fully understand that church leaders rightly thought that the moment had come to send out an alarm signal," he added.
The heads of the various Christian communities that share custody of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher shuttered the popular shrine last Feb. 25 to protest an Israeli government tax plan that targeted Christian-owned properties. They re-opened the place revered as the site of Jesus Christ's crucifixion on Feb. 28 after the Israelis scrapped the proposal.
Father Schnabel said it was more important than ever for all religions to shoulder their responsibility for promoting peace as spiritual arguments were "all of a sudden" being used to veil the real aim of political conflicts.
He noted that the three monotheistic religions are very much alive in Jerusalem and play an important part in caring for pilgrims from all over the world, as well as providing education, social and charity work for local residents.
But the Benedictine priest lamented that the United States' current administration, intent on presenting itself as Christian, continues to describe the State of Israel as a paradise for Christians. He acknowledged that Islamist terrorists don't cut people's throats in Israel as in Syria and Iraq, but he said the Israeli authorities are increasingly "lethargic" when it comes to protecting Christians and guarding church buildings.
Father Schnabel was asked if Christians were taking the rap for President Trump's decision to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
"No, it's the other way round," he said.
The priest said Christians in Israel do not want Mike Pence or Donald Trump to speak up for them, but want to get their voice back and speak for themselves.
"They've been here for centuries and want to describe what challenges they face as a tiny minority of 2 percent," he added.
Father Schnable said there are no easy answers for Jerusalem, but recalled that the Holy See had for decades held on to what he firmly believed was a visionary solution.
"The old town really is a corpus seperatum, a separate entity, which should be internationalized. Its ownership should not be narrowed down to a purely nationalistic issue," he said.
In a separate interview with Deutsche Welle (DW), the Benedictine said religions should be careful not be drawn into choosing sides in political conflicts.
"We religions must not allow ourselves to be pocketed. We are a counterpart to politics. One cannot literally derive a concrete policy from Holy Scripture texts – be it from the Quran, the Talmud or, most especially, the Bible. They are not simple instruction manuals. If you take them literally that is equivalent to violating the Holy Scriptures," said Father Schnabel.
He noted that Trump used a religious line of argument to justify moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, thereby sparking a global controversy and inflaming tensions in the Middle East.
"Trump challenged civil society – to which religions belong – to take a clear line. The reaction to his announcement was quite fascinating and moreover pretty unexpected. The leaders of the 13 long-established Christian Churches in the Holy Land, which represent 50 different denominations, but together only make up just 2 percent of the Israeli population, wrote an ecumenical letter to Trump and posed the key question: 'What is going to help this city achieve peace, reconciliation, dialogue and justice?'"
Father Schnabel said there is an urgent need for theologians, especially younger ones, who understand that there were no "cheap" or simple answers for Jerusalem. He insisted that religion should not be left to the fundamentalists and the fanatics "who think they can explain the world in 90 seconds."

'I'm A Celebrity' star Kate Garraway's husband admits jealous paranoia over Myles Stephenson
Albertina Lloyd
·Entertainment reporter, Yahoo UK
December 4, 2019, 7:02 a.m.
Kate Garraway is in the jungle for I'm A Celebrity (ITV)
Kate Garraway's husband has admitted feelings of jealous paranoia watching Myles Stephenson flirt with her on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Rak-Su singer Stephenson, 28, has called the 52-year-old Good Morning Britain presenter his "telly crush" and admitted he likes dating older women.
Garraway's husband Derek Draper told Lorraine: "At first I got a bit paranoid and jealous.

"However, then I remembered she's my wife and she's coming home to me! So what I always say is – what has he got that I haven't got!"
Kate Garraway and her husband Derek Draper (Getty Images)
Draper – who married Garraway in 2005 and has two children, Darcy, 13 and William, nine, with the TV presenter – said he enjoying watching his wife in the jungle.
He said: "I am falling in love with her all over again, to be honest. Because you see how clever she is, funny, and stunning."
Boyband star Stephenson told Garraway on Monday night's show: " 'You are one of my TV crushes, you are beautiful."
Garraway responded: "That's good to know, because I think when you approach 50 it feels like you are no longer attractive. It's a massive number and it feels like a big thing."
Myles Stephenson won The X Factor with boyband Rak-Su in 2017 (ITV)
Draper also told Good Morning Britain he was proud to see his wife wearing her bikinis on the ITV reality show.

He said: "She took a few bikinis and swimsuits and she said to me: 'I'm not sure they'll see the light of day.'
"But I of course always thinks she looks amazing. I said, 'Wear them if you want to.'"
He added: "I wonder if it's because of how confident she's feeling."
Bayer aims to help CureVac with COVID-19 vaccine output, says CEO
German pharmaceutical giant Bayer is examining whether it can help CureVac to produce its experimental COVID-19 vaccine, its chief executive was quoted as saying on Sunday. "We are prepared to pull out all the stops for this," Werner Baumann told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper. "This is not primarily about financial considerations but about making the vaccine available as quickly as possible."
Saskatoon Fire Department paramedics ready, willing to help with vaccine rollout
Some members of the Saskatoon Fire Department may soon have a new task ahead of them: administering the COVID-19 vaccine. Primary-care paramedics (PCP) with the city's fire department are able to upgrade their training in order to administer the vaccine and several are already trained. "Any vaccine that would be provided by the health ministry and distributed through SHA for administration could be by our PCPs to other Fire Department staff, civic staff — and then upon request from the SHA — maybe even to members of the public within the Saskatoon region," said Wayne Rodger, assistant chief with the Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD). He said right now there are 34 paramedics able to conduct COVID-19 tests and 23 trained on providing the vaccine. Those numbers could climb as the pandemic continues. Of the service's roughly 337 employees, only the roughly 137 PCPs will be given the option for priority vaccination. Clint Belitsky is the secretary with the International Association of Firefighters Local 80 (IAFF 80), which represents firefighters in Saskatoon. He said that while the IAFF welcomes paramedics getting the vaccine quickly, there are some concerns other frontline firefighters were missed. "All of our firefighters go into medical calls, they assist in different ways," he said, noting a firefighters' role may include helping with CPR or transporting a patient. "Whether it's inside a house, or inside an apartment, or up and down stairs, all of our members are in close contact throughout shifts." Belitysky said the association isn't trying to muscle its way into the line-up. "We feel like they're left out a little bit, but we understand that there's a limited number," he said. Belitysky said the association is happy members will be able to help administer vaccines, saying it will be "easier and quicker" to get the vaccination in house than going to a clinic or immunization centre. Rodger said the SFD is determining who will get the vaccine first by examining risk and potential exposure. "Our firefighters that are working alongside the paramedics would certainly have a greater opportunity than say I would to receive that vaccine earlier," he said. Rodger said communication between the Ministry of Health, the SHA and the department has been consistent and ongoing.
From watching property to safeguarding health, pandemic has kept Alberta security services busy
Alberta security companies say they're busier than ever, largely due to COVID-19 protocols and a rise in crime. "When COVID hit, there's been an increase in crime, an increase in vandalism, property damage," said Moe Hadayat, operations manager at Optimum Security. "Property owners reached out to us and they said, 'Look, we have never seen this kind of increase ... so we need to have security monitor these properties to make sure that nothing is escalated.'" Hadayat said crime is largely rooted in unemployment and a lack of things to do, thanks to business and social restrictions that are in place to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Paladin Security has seen an increase in patrols going out as a result of so many Albertans working from home, said operations manager Damian Radcliffe. "That opens up more opportunities for criminal activity," Radcliffe said. Radcliffe emphasized that an empathetic approach is proving valuable in dealing with people who are under pressure as a result of the pandemic. "If we lead with that sort of compassion-first type mentality, I think that we can have most of those interactions go well and still do the job that we need to do," Radcliffe said. Paladin has also worked with clients who have seen their revenues drop — hotel operators, for example — to come up with cost-effective security plans. Backwoods Security Services traditionally serves the oil and gas industry but since the pandemic has expanded its work to include homeless shelters and health-care facilities. "In some of our northern facilities and camps that we're in, the guards are mainly there just to ensure that COVID protocols are being followed, people aren't congregating together — just those gentle reminders to keep their distancing and sanitize and wear their masks," said Kyle Applejohn, the director of security at Backwoods. Backwoods, which is owned by Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation and Enoch Cree Nation, also does mass temperature screenings in high-density workplaces using thermal imaging technology launched in May. The company provided security for the NHL playoff bubble and the 2021 world junior men's hockey championship.

All of our products have one major common element: the manufacturing system utilised to create them is sheet metal fabrication. Sheet metal is the material subjected to alteration through the act of material removal and or material deformation. Sheet metal fabrication has been utilised from the beginning of time, with primitive tools evolving over the years into advanced engineering equipment.
Sheet metal fabrication is the process of forming, shaping, and metal joining. To be classified as sheet metal the material thickness is generally between 0.15mm to 6mm, if the material is thinner it is classified as foil, and if the material is thicker it tends to be classified as plate. The range of materials formed includes: Materials that can be formed include: aluminium, brass, bronze, copper, magnesium, nickel, stainless steel, steel, tin, titanium, and zinc.
Sheet metal can be formed by cutting, bending, and stretching into almost any shape. A variety of shapes and sizes can be punched through the material using a computer numerically controlled punch press, these holes can be formed for variety of reasons from holes for product installation or even slots for circulation grilles. The flat sheet metal can be deformed into a variety of shapes and complex contours using punch presses.
Our products including air conditioning cages, radiator pipe boxing shields, and TV protection cabinets are all manufactured using sheet metal fabrication. Other typical products that can be manufactured using this technology include enclosures for white goods, brackets, washers, and even aeroplane wings. Our knowledge of both the manufacturing, and construction industry, can be fully utilised to support our clients in achieving products designed specifically for their environment.


Trend Marine have recently completed the supply of all glazing to the 125m megayacht Maryah. Trend were commissioned to conduct a turnkey supply service, starting from a 3D digitising service to complete manufacture and installation of all glazing. On its launch Maryah became the world's 15th largest yacht.
Trend Marine were asked to be involved in a significant refit of the classic motor yacht Shemara. Originally launched in 1938 in the UK by JL Thornycroft, the yacht has led a fascinating history. Initially owned as a private yacht by the industrialist Sir Bernard Docker, the yacht was used extensively for entertaining along the Mediterranean coast. She was requisitioned during WWII as a training vessel. Her current owner was keen to restore the yacht to its former glory.


The Cross from Stephen Sizer on Vimeo.
When a hospital consultant reveals a serious medical condition that will probably shorten your life without a major operation, it can be a little unsettling. The imminent risk of a stroke is like a living death sentence. It changes your outlook on life. Your priorities. Then, just as suddenly, to be given the all clear is like being given your life back again. Although from now on, whether due to a mis-diagnosis or a miracle, you are grateful. Life feels good. That is how we should feel because of what happened that first Good Friday.
The Cross. It struck fear in the hearts of the world. It was Rome's means of control. Excruciating torture. Prolonged agony. Humiliating death. According to Roman custom, the penalty of crucifixion was always preceded by scourging. After this initial punishment, you carried your cross, or at least the transverse beam of it, to the place of execution.
Besides the physical pain there was also the psychological torture. Because crucifixion was a public form of execution.
The crosses were located by the roadside or at a crossroads. There was no hiding. You were exposed to the jibes and insults of the people who passed by. Stripped naked, you were bound to the cross with cords and fastened with nails like these here.
Roman nails, 2000 years old. You can place them in your hands after the service.
Finally, a placard called the titulus bearing your name and your crime, was placed above your head. You would not die of hunger or thirst, but might hang on the cross for several days. To breathe, you must stretch upward and stand to take the weight on your legs and off your arms and chest. So if your legs were broken, death would come mercifully swift with asphyxiation. In this way it was possible to take down the corpse on the very evening of the execution such as a Sabbath. But your corpse could not be taken down, unless specially authorized in the sentence of death. Permission would also be necessary for a burial. It is remarkable that all of this the Bible records with the simple words, "Finally, Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified." (John 19:16). This morning the children have had their own activities. They were finding out why today is called "Good Friday" Now it is our turn. Lets examine John 19:16-29 and draw out three simple reasons why today is indeed a good day.
The historical events surrounding the death of Jesus were no accident. In the Hebrew Scriptures, in Psalm 22, Psalm 69, Isaiah 53, for example, God had declared that these things would happen. Through a Passover Lamb, a ransom sacrifice, a substitute, God would rescue humanity from its sin and rebellion. Today, we think of the cross as a symbol of glory and victory; but in Pilate's day, the cross stood for rejection, shame, and suffering. It was Jesus who made the difference. It was customary for the criminal to carry his cross to the place of execution. The bearing of the cross was a mark of guilt; and Jesus was not guilty, he was taking our guilt upon himself. 'There was no other good enough to pay the price of sin. The cross was central to God's rescue plans.
"This is Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews." The chief priests protested the title, but Pilate refused to change it. The fact that this title was written in Hebrew (Aramaic), Greek, and Latin is significant. Hebrew was the language of religion, Greek of philosophy, and Latin of law; and all three combined to crucify the Son of God. But what He did on the cross, He did for the whole world. Without realizing it, Pilate was inspired to write the first "Gospel tract" when he prepared this title. Within hours one of the thieves discovered that Jesus was King, and asked entrance into His kingdom. John does not record it, but the other Gospel writers tell us that some of the people passing by reviled Jesus, no doubt at the instigation of the chief priests and scribes (Mark 15:29-32). When you read Psalm 22, you see how David used the image of animals to describe the people who persecuted our Lord: bulls (Ps. 22:12), lions (Ps. 22:13, 21), and dogs (Ps. 22:16, 20). When people reject their Lord, they become like animals, when they accept him they become like the angels. Not creation. Not Israel. Not the incarnation. Not social action. The cross and cross alone was central to God's rescue plan for humanity – from the beginning of the world to the end of the world.
A group of women, along with the Apostle John, stood near the cross. John specifies four women: Mary, the mother of Jesus; His mother's sister, Salome, the mother of James and John; Mary, the wife of Clopas (Cleophas); and Mary Magdalene. The first time we meet Mary in the Gospel of John, she is attending a wedding (John 2:1-11); now she is preparing for a burial. The hour had come. She was experiencing "the sword" that had been predicted years before (Luke 2:35).
Jesus assured her of His love, and He gave her to His closest disciple, to be her adopted son and to care for her. Whether that moment John took Mary away from the scene, we do not know. We do know that he cared for her and that she was among the believers in the Upper Room as they awaited Pentecost (Acts 1:14). Even while He was performing the great work of redemption, Jesus was faithful to His responsibilities as a son. What an illustration of the meaning of the cross. When we identify with Jesus – when we trust and believe in the one who died in our place, we become adopted members of his family.
Our Lord knew what was going on; He was fully in control as He obeyed the Father's will. He had refused to drink the pain-deadening wine that was always offered to those about to be crucified (Matt. 27:34). In order to fulfill the Scriptures (Ps. 69:21), He said, "I thirst." He was enduring real physical suffering, for He had a real human body. He had just emerged from three hours of darkness when He felt the wrath of God and separation from God (Matt. 27:45-49).
There were physical reasons for His thirst (Ps. 22:15), but there were also spiritual reasons (Ps. 42:1-2). One of the soldiers took pity on Jesus and moistened His lips with the cheap vinegar wine the soldiers drank. We must not imagine Jesus hanging many feet up in the air, almost inaccessible. His feet were perhaps three or four feet from the ground, so it would be easy for the man to put a sponge at the end of a reed and give Jesus a drink.
Centuries earlier, the Old Testament prophets of God had prophesied many things about Jesus.
At Christmas, we remember those that predicted his birth. It had been prophesied that He would be born of a "virgin" (Isa. 7:14): It was prophesied that He should be born in Bethlehem of Judea (Mic. 5:2); Prophecy made mention of one going before Christ to make ready the way (Malachi 3:1); it is fulfilled in the person of John the Baptist. Prophecy announced that he would be despised (Isa. 53:3); that He should be rejected by the Jews (Isa. 8:14). Prophecy predicted His humiliation and crucifixion; it was vividly accomplished. There was the betrayal by a familiar friend, the forsaking by his cherished disciples, the being led to the slaughter, the being taken to judgment, the appearing of false witnesses against him, the refusal on his part to make defence, the unjust condemnation, the sentence of capital punishment passed upon him, the literal piercing of his hands and feet, the being numbered with transgressors, the mockery of the crowd, the casting lots for his garments – all predicted centuries beforehand, and all fulfilled to the very letter.
The last prophecy of all which remained before He committed His spirit into the hands of His Father had now been fulfilled. He cried "I thirst" and after the tendering of the vinegar and gall all was now "accomplished"; and as the Lord Jesus reviewed the entire scope of the prophetic word and saw its full realization, He cried, "It is finished." The consummation of the prophetic scriptures.
"It is finished" was not the despairing cry of a helpless martyr. It is the declaration "Man of Sorrows" who willingly suffered in our place. Suffering at the hands of men, at the hands of Satan, and at the hands of God. Pain inflicted upon him by enemies and accepted by His Father. In the gospels we see how the cross was ever before Him.
On the cross itself, the physical sufferings were agonizing but even this was nothing compared with the anguish of His soul. Now the closing hours come. The darkness over the land.
At last the suffering is ended. The awful storm of God's wrath has ended. The darkness is ended. The wages of sin have been paid. The prophecies of his sufferings are all fulfilled. The cross has been "endured." Divine holiness has been fully satisfied. With a cry of triumph – a loud cry, a cry which reverberated throughout the entire universe – the Saviour exclaims, "It is finished." The shame and the suffering are past.
The consummation of the prophetic scriptures. The culmination of his personal sufferings.
"The debt is paid… the bill is paid in full" When Jesus gave Himself on the cross, he fully met the righteous demands of a holy law; He paid our debt in full. None of the Old Testament sacrifices could take away sins; their blood only covered sin temporarily. But the Lamb of God shed His blood, and that blood has taken away the sins of the world (John 1:29; Heb. 9:24-28). This is why, at the moment Jesus died, the Temple curtain was torn in two, from top to bottom. Now the way to God was open.
"It is finished." The consummation of the prophetic scriptures. The culmination of his personal sufferings. The completion of the perfect sacrifice.
To human appearances it looked like the moment of Satan's greatest triumph, yet in reality, it was the hour of his ultimate defeat.
It is true that Satan has not yet been chained and cast into the bottomless pit, nevertheless, sentence has been passed (though not yet executed); his doom is certain; and his power is already broken so far as believers are concerned. For the Christian the devil is a defeated foe. He was defeated by Christ at the cross – "that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb. 2:14).
For the believer, Satan should be treated as a defeated enemy. No longer has he any legitimate claim upon us. Once we were his captives but Christ has set us free.
"It is finished." Here is the triumphant answer to the rage of man and the enmity of Satan. It tells of the perfect work which meets sin in the place of judgment. All was completed just as God would have it, just as the prophets had foretold, just as the Old Testament sacrifices had foreshadowed, just as divine holiness demanded, and just as sinners need.
"It is finished" cries the Son of God – who then would dare to doubt or question it. "It is finished." The Father is satisfied with the work of Christ, are you? Repent, believe and be saved. So you too can say this is indeed "Good Friday".

On Sept. 12, the FDA issued 1,300 warning letters and fines to more than 1,000 retailers as a result of a summerlong undercover operation at the store level. The list included several branded chains such as 7-Eleven Inc. and Casey's General Stores, as well as independent operations and major oil companies. CSP reached out to both c-store chains for comment but did not receive replies by press time.
This latest round of warnings and fines comes after a previously announced "blitz" against tobacco retailers this past spring. In that move, FDA officials also went into retail establishments to uncover illegal sales of e-cigarettes to minors. While that operation officially began April 6, Gottlieb said the agency had issued warning letters to 40 retail locations in March and April.

With speculation rampant about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump's VP picks, Monmouth University has found that Hillary's best chance of winning lies in a ticket with her former arch-rival Bernie Sanders.
The other notable Democratic VP possibility, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, had a net positive rating but polled worse than Sanders (24 percent more likely vs. Sanders' 39 per cent).
The only Republican with a net positive rating was Florida Senator Marco Rubio (27 per cent more likely to support Trump, 20 percent less likely). But the most notable findings were on former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Only 13 percent of those surveyed would be more likely to support the Republican ticket if Palin was the VP pick, while 42 percent would be less likely. Palin did worse among undecided voters: 54 percent of them would be less likely to vote for the GOP.
The full Monmouth survey can be found here.


Update: Our commenters do not agree with the Times' findings. The Times cites cooling pad manufacturers for failing to back up their claims, but does, on reflection, only skim the evidence to the contrary. Point taken.

In 1919, the Royal North West Mounted Police became the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Questions about Canadian Sovereignty in the Arctic led the government to establish RCMP detachments on Ellesmere Island in 1920. Using chartered vessels, the RCMP opened Arctic detachments between 1920 and 1927. To best serve these outposts, the RCMP decided to build their own ship capable of travelling into and remaining in the Arctic.
Thomas Halliday, a Vancouver-based naval architect, designed the ship and the federal government contracted the schooner's construction to the Burrard Dry Dock Company of North Vancouver. Toward the end of construction, the RCMP named the ship St. Roch after a parish in the constituency of the Federal Minister of Justice.
This exhibition celebrates the St. Roch's 90th birthday with images and artifacts from the collection that have rarely been on display.
Now on view until summer of 2019!

I've been trying some very exciting products lately, from French skincare brand Caudalie. If any of these seven hero products take your fancy, they'll be available on Latest in Beauty next week, so you can try them too for a fraction of the price.
First comes first, let's start with the cleansers. The Make-Up Removing Cleansing Oil is a great first step to quickly dissolve make-up - including stubborn waterproof mascara - and remove impurities. It's 100% natural, smells of sweet almonds and is made with a nourishing blend of plant oils, which doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy.
Next, the Instant Foaming Cleanser - Caudalie's cult cleanser - is perfect for your second cleanse. The light, gentle, soap-free foam is made with 98% naturally-derived ingredients, including purifying sage and moisturising grape extract, and gives a refreshing clean feel whilst respecting the natural PH balance of the skin. I'll definitely be buying this again.
When I think of French skincare, the first cult pharmacy product which comes to mind is micellar water, and I love Caudalie's. The Micellar Cleansing Water is ideal for a gentle morning cleanse - the effective, soap-free formula is infused with soothing chamomile and suitable for sensitive skin, and lifts impurities and any residue from night products ready for the next step in your routine.
The Vinoperfect Concentrated Brightening Essence is inspired by the oh-so-dedicated Asian skincare routine, and its lightweight, refined formula is gentle, effective and leaves skin feeling smooth, plump and brightened. Ingredients include glycolic acid to remove dead skin cells and white peony extracts to revitalise for a radiant glow. Press into cleansed skin before serum for an added boost of moisturiser. I've been using twice daily, and I'm hooked.
The VINE[ACTIV] Glow-activating Anti-wrinkle Serum is a magical product: it's concentrated, packed with antioxidants, helps to protect your skin against daily aggressors like pollution, and leaves skin feeling gorgeous, dewy and glowy. It smells beautiful too. I'll definitely be buying this one again as well.
The VINE[ACTIV] 3-in-1 Moisturiser is a light, moisturising cream for daily use, formulated to limit the amount of pollutant particles deposited on the skin, smooth wrinkles and restore a natural, healthy glow. It's suitable for all skin types and non-comedogenic, so doesn't block the pores.
Last but not least - and one of my favourites as I use masks a couple of times a week - the Instant Detox Mask purifies stressed skin (and is ideal for city-dwellers dealing with pollution and free radicals), draws away impurities, and refines skin texture. It's a 99.3% natural pink clay mask, lightly fragranced with beautiful botanicals such as lavender and chamomile, and won Elle Magazine's Best Mask at the 2015 Beauty Awards. Apply twice weekly, and your skin'll thank you.
Have you tried any of these? Let me know your faves!

Frederick Adkins was a self-taught staff artist at Amalgamated Press, the publishing house responsible for magazines like the weekly Funny Wonder, which could be bought for a dime. Freddie Adkins was the first cartoonist to fill in for Bertie Brown, when this over-productive artist needed a holiday. Adkins spent most of his fifty-year career drawing filler gags and strips, and working as a letterer and scriptwriter for titles like Funny Wonder ('Nougat the Nig', 1920), Butterfly, Comic Life ('Spick and Span', 1921), Lot-O'Fun ('Sammy Sample', 1921), Jolly Jester ('Reggie Rambler', 1922), Sunbeam ('Professor Botany', 1925), Funny Wonder ('Danny and Domino', 1927). In the 1930s he was mainly a ghost artist, but he also had his own features, such as 'Bobby Blue', 'Bimbo the Clown' and 'Timothy Topnot' in Tiger Tim's Weekly, 'Flips' in Playbox. Adkins worked for the Amalgamated Press throughout the 1950s and retired in 1959.

Year of Swiss architecture, design and engineering in India
To commemorate fifty years of the Swiss Embassy building in New Delhi, the Embassy of Switzerland has planned events in the field of architecture, design and engineering.
Year of Swiss architecture, design and engineering in India 2013-14: Commemorating fifty years of the Swiss Embassy building
To commemorate fifty years of the Swiss Embassy building in New Delhi, the Embassy of Switzerland has planned events in the field of architecture, design and engineering that will highlight Swiss achievements in these areas that are also of growing relevance in the Indian context. Organized in partnership with the Consulates General in Mumbai & Bengaluru, the Honorary Consulates in Chennai & Kolkata, Presence Switzerland, Pro Helvetia - Swiss Arts Council, swissnex India, Swiss Business Hub and Switzerland Tourism, the celebrations will last till spring 2014.
Designed by Swiss architect Hans Hofmann and realized posthumously by his young collaborator Walter Rüegg, the Swiss Embassy building was inaugurated in the presence of the then Prime Minister of India Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru on 4th July 1963. Located in the Diplomatic Enclave in Chanakyapuri, the building is recognized as a significant architectural landmark of New Delhi. It symbolizes and stands for the strong bond that India and Switzerland have shared through these years. Like the relationship between the two countries, this building has emerged stronger with time, and like the friendship between the two countries, it has become timeless.
Swiss Ambassador Dr. Linus von Castelmur launched the Year of Swiss architecture, design and engineering in India 2013-14 on 7th August 2013. Revealing to the media the series of events planned he observed, ''Architecture, design and engineering are the disciplines in which Switzerland excels; they are also strongly emerging fields of study and practice in India. I am confident that the Year of Swiss architecture, design and engineering in India will offer a splendid platform for common reflection and push the current collaboration in these fields to new heights.''
Lectures, seminars and exhibitions will be held in New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Chandigarh as part of the celebrations. The highlight of the year will be the visit of Swiss Minister of Foreign Affairs, Federal Councillor Didier Burkhalter in November 2013.

Performance brief:
THE REAL THING researches the boundaries between fiction and reality by superimposing one on the other.THE REAL THING takes place in two highly codified places: the theatre and the library. Both as places of representation are carried to extremes and the fictional character of the real situation - architecture, politics of the gaze, codes of behaviour - are revealed. The rules, assumptions and un-discussed agreements - the framing becomes experiential /sensual.What is the tension between a fictional, highly constructed place/experience/ narrative/character and the 'real'?"THE REAL THING" establishes a look at "theatre" and "library" as remarkable cultural inventions, "social sculptures" and strange places. They become installations - pieces of art.
Performer Brief: Actors, dancers, magicians, politicians academics etc.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. Projecting the U.S. Navy's aviation power in attack, reconnaissance, and sea control missions, naval aviators have a significant role in defending the United States and its allies. Since 1974, when the first women earned their "Wings of Gold" and became naval aviators, women have become an expanding demographic within the profession.
Following the Jan. 24 death of retired Navy Capt. Rosemary Mariner, one of the first females to earn her "wings" and the first woman to command a U.S. Navy aviation squadron, eight female aviators from strike fighter squadrons on board Naval Air Station Oceana participated in the first ever all-female "missing man" flyover to honor her. The missing man formation is an aircraft maneuver typically used as a salute to honor a fallen pilot or service member. The maneuver features four aircraft flying in formation above a funeral service as one of the aircraft leaves the formation and climbs vertically into the sky. The flyover was conducted during Mariner's funeral service Feb. 2 in Maynardville, Tennessee, as a final salute to the former aviator who fought a years-long battle with cancer.
Mariner retired from the U.S. Navy in 1997 after obtaining the rank of captain and logging seventeen carrier arrested landings and completing over 3,500 flight hours in 15 different aircraft.
Due to the accomplishments of Mariner and the other pioneering females of naval aviation, women are able to fill an important role in accomplishing the U.S. Navy's mission.
"It's always important to learn about the history of your organization or what happened that allows you to achieve your goals" said Cmdr. Leslie Mintz, executive officer of the "Blacklions" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 213 and one of the women to participate in the historic flyover. "Because of Capt. Mariner's accomplishments, we no longer have to think about someone as being a female aviator or look at someone based on their gender, ethnicity or race."
Mintz, originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, received her commission from the Reserve Officer Training Corps in May 2000 as she graduated from the University of Virginia. She said she didn't know much about the military before she started ROTC, but through the various training opportunities, she became fascinated with aviation. After commissioning, Mintz attended Naval Flight Officer training and received her "Wings of Gold" in Feb. 2002.
"In flight school, there were other women in my classes," said Mintz. "Cmdr. Uttecht and I went through flight school around the same time, so we knew each other since early in our careers."
Cmdr. Stacy L. Uttecht, commanding officer of the "Fighting Swordsmen" of VFA-32 and another participant of the first all-female flyover, earned her "Wings" in June 2002. Originally from Lubbock, Texas, Uttecht received her commission through ROTC at Virginia Tech in 2000. Uttecht said flying in a small Cessna with her father at a young age and hearing her grandfather's stories of flying the North American F-86 Sabre jet during the Korean War were the contributing factors that inspired her to become a pilot. By the age of 11 or 12, Uttecht knew she wanted to fly for the military.
Uttecht said she's seen more and more women taking to the skies since she became a naval aviator almost 17 years ago.
"Specifically in the jet community, we now see more female pilots," said Uttecht, a Naval Flight Officer, or a commissioned officer who typically rides as "co-pilot" and specializes in airborne weapons systems, electronic warfare, or a number of other specialties. "When I joined my first squadron in 2003, there were definitely a lot of female NFOs, but not many pilots. Being able to put together a team of women for this fly-over shows that there has definitely been an increase in female pilots since I've joined the Navy."
Though women have been flying for the Navy since 1974, there have been policy changes that may have improved recruitment and retention.
Until 1993, female naval aviators were limited to training and other non-combat jobs. Partly because of the proven success of the Navy's first women aviators, former Defense Secretary Les Aspin authorized women to fly combat missions and serve aboard warships.
"I remember hearing it on the news, and at the time, I didn't understand how much of an impact that specific policy change was," said Uttecht. "Now, every single female on this flight line is a combat veteran and has been on a combat deployment."
Mintz said the 1993 policy change showed the public, who may have previously had a skewed perception of women in the military, that women are able to accomplish the same combat missions as men.
"It was the first glimpse of the public seeing that women can serve in combat, and do so heroically, with the same abilities as men," said Mintz. "One of the reasons I chose to pursue naval aviation was because I would be able to serve on the front lines. I could serve at the tip of the spear."
Women being permitted to serve in the same capacity as men is one of the Navy's prime examples of women's equality.
"The bad guys don't care if you're male or female," said Uttecht. "The jets don't know if you're male or female. The only thing that now matters is that you're a person with wings on your chest who knows how to operate the weapons systems."
Still, Mintz said she's sometimes surprised to see the occasional reactions of female enlisted sailors when they first learn that their executive officer is a woman. Being a female boss allows her to be more relatable to the young women who work in VFA-213.
"It's important, whether it's gender, race or ethnicity, for people to see their bosses are like them," said Mintz. "There are women airmen in this squadron who I think really love the fact that they could see my accomplishments, and realize they could do the same."
Though many female pilots may not actively think about the impact they have, they serve as role models to young women, both junior Sailors and civilians, demonstrating they have the power to accomplish their dreams.
In July 2018, after hearing the story of 12-year-old Julianne Speyer, an Ohio Girl Scout who made headlines after her "letter to the editor" response to a 4th of July parade announcer's comments, Uttecht felt compelled to reach out to Speyer. In Speyer's letter published in the Geauga County Maple Leaf, she commented on the announcer labeling the Boy Scouts as the "future leaders of America" and said the Girl Scouts were "just having fun." Uttecht watched as Speyer's story grew popular and made a video response, saying, "Julianne, you were right when you said women could be anything they want to be, so keep being the leader you are, and continue to be the change that we need."
Closing the video with, "Someday, when you're older, we want you on our team. Fly Navy," Uttecht sent an important message to Speyer and other young women and girls across the country.
By doing this, Uttecht supported the effort to increase awareness that aviation is a job anyone can do regardless of the demographic they belong to, and this is partly because of Capt. Mariner and the other pioneering women in military aviation.
Uttecht said Mariner and her contemporaries started the trend of seeing someone as being a warfighter, rather than seeing them as a male or female.
"It is important to recognize and honor those who have made contributions to society by breaking down barriers," said Uttecht. "Capt. Mariner was one of the first to show that people shouldn't be limited to what they are allowed to do based on their gender."


Every 22 minutes in the UK a parent dies leaving children under 18, amounting to roughly 40,000 bereaved children a year, and over 100 every day. And yet only one in four parents have an up to date will in place.
Recognising the importance for every parent to have made a bereavement plan, Ellipse partnered with our Childhood Bereavement Network (CBN) to create Plan If. As a national network of organisations working every day with bereaved families, CBN was well placed to launch a national campaign to help parents plan ahead in case they were to die before their children grow up.
We commissioned research from the polling company OnePoll on 2000 UK adults with children aged 17 or under to find out what provision they had in place for their children if they were to die.
While three out of four parents thought it was important to have a will, only one in four actually had an up-to-date one.
From the research it was clear that most parents needed to be prompted to have a plan in place, and for there to be a quick and accessible way for them to find the information they need to do this successfully.
To help make this happen, we created Plan If.
Plan If is a campaign and linked resources developed by CBN which encourages all parents to put in place a legacy of practical and personal things which would make a difference to their children should one or both parents die. It explains why it is necessary for every parent to have a plan in place and provides information and resources on how to best do this.
The Plan If website provides all of this information in an easy to use format, covering information on practical and personal things that ALL parents can do this week; this month and this year.
It includes advice on practical tasks, such as making a will, planning guardianship and having life insurance, which can take some of the uncertainty out of life after a parental death, and personal tasks, such as capturing family stories and writing letters to children, which can provide comfort if a parent dies.
The Plan If campaign launch attracted excellent coverage on Twitter with a 'tweetreach' of over a million (1,032,322) and an 'impressions' figure of 1,765,376.
This was particularly helped by the support of Caitlin Moran and other public figures including Robert Peston and Prof Tanya Byron, as well as the backing of CBN members and interest and support from other key organisations such as the Law Society and Dying Matters.
Plan If featured as Campaign of the Week on Mumsnet and is regularly promoted in the annual Dying Matters Awareness Week.

Les Caprimulgidae, ou Caprimulgidés en français, sont une famille d'oiseaux constituée d'environ 95 espèces existantes d'engoulevents.

Description
Les engoulevents sont des oiseaux crépusculaires et nocturnes, de taille petite à moyenne (9 à 25 cm), aux ailes longues et étroites. Leurs pattes sont courtes, mais leurs doigts puissants portent des ongles acérés. Ils ont un plumage généralement gris-brun.

Répartition
Cosmopolites, ils vivent dans une large variété d'habitats, rarement loin de l'eau.

Comportement
Certaines espèces de cette famille hibernent, ce qui est rare chez les oiseaux.

Étymologie
Le nom latin Caprimulgus signifie « suceur de chèvre » car jadis, les paysans croyaient que l'engoulevent, oiseau du crépuscule, pénétrait dans les étables à la nuit tombée pour sucer le pis des bêtes.

Leur nom français vient de l'occitan Engola-vent signifiant littéralement avale-vent en raison de leur réputation de voler le bec ouvert pour avaler leurs proies.

À ce propos, Buffon reprend aux naturalistes anciens (Aristote, Pline et Élien) la légende du Caprimulgus.
Dans l'article qu'il consacre à la Chèvre dans son Histoire naturelle, Buffon écrit :
« Les chèvres [...] sont, comme les vaches et les brebis, sujettes à être tétées par la couleuvre, et encore par un oiseau connu sous le nom de téte-chèvre ou crapaud volant, qui s'attache à leur mamelle pendant la nuit, et leur fait, dit-on perdre leur lait. »

Systématique

Suivant les travaux phylogénétiques de Han  (2010), la taxinomie de ce groupe est entièrement révisée. Les sous-familles traditionnelles des Caprimulgidae (Caprimulginae et Chordeilinae) ne sont pas soutenues par l'étude, qui montre qu'aucune n'est monophylétique. C'est le cas aussi pour une autre sous-famille proposée, les Eurostopodinae. Han  suggèrent de ne pas établir de sous-familles tant que des analyses complémentaires ne sont pas faites pour évaluer la monophylie du genre Eurostopodus.

Sherwood Purple' Creeping Phlox is a ground covering phlox for shade and good soil. The very sweetly fragrant flowers are a beautiful lavendar purple on 6 inch stems. Flowering begins in early to mid spring and lasts for several weeks. It is a moderately fast spreader in good soil. Let it romp with Foamflower, ferns, and Celandine Poppies.


I can only remember my mom doing these a few times when I was young. We made lots of cinnamon toast, or just plain toast with all kinds of jellies that Mother made during the summer: watermelon rind preserves, tomato jelly, grape jelly and, especially, fig preserves. Daddy loved sweets.
Just for fun, I decided to try these fluffed eggs for Hud to see if he enjoyed them. Guess, I am a lot like Mother. The egg whites whipped up very fast and fluffed eggs are bound to be fun with the grandchildren once in a while. 🙂 My whites were a little brown by the time the yellow looked cooked, but Hud said it is a winner. Don't forget to click on the recipe to enlarge it for reading. Make breakfast fun!
From Mimi to all of us.
Mimi and the girls prepared simple meals on quilting days. Sometimes a neighbor like Mrs. Mehutki dropped in to help. She usually brought some of her special Finnish Butter Cookies. The butter cookies became a family favorite. They are so delicate and light, they just melt in your mouth.
The meal usually consisted of stew or soup, sometimes cornbread sandwiches or just plain cornbread and milk. Mimi's family liked buttermilk. I've tried milk and cornbread. It is a long way from a favorite; the buttermilk and cornbread is completely distasteful. Maybe it was good to those who grew up not having all of the convenient snacks and sugar that spoil us so today. One thing for sure, no eating or drinking was allowed near that precious quilt being made for family or friends.
My mother's 1917 Hoosier (a portable cabinet with separate flour and meal grinders)is a treasured appointment in our family dining area. A few years ago, one of the drawers just quit closing. After trying in every other way, I pulled the drawer all the way out. Behind it were two cookbooks which had been there, heaven only knows how long. One was a 1936 issue of the JR Watkins Cookbook which sold for a whopping one dollar. JR Watkins has graciously given consent to share their recipes. I will write more about them in later posts. The other was a 1918 handwritten cookbook kept by my Mimi. It cost her a buffalo nickel.
Leafing carefully through those pages soon to be one hundred years old, feelings of connection unknown before flooded my soul. The paper is very fragile. It is apparent that handling will cause disintegration rapidly. But there written in Mimi's hand are recipes my mother prepared over and over. Since Mimi was gone before my memory, I never knew those recipes were from so long ago. I prepared some of them for my boys and then their families never knowing they were third generation, at least. Charles' Kay and Chuck laughed at me about the Candlestick Salad, thinking it was too far out.
Keeping this precious book for posterity is a priority. Hud carefully scanned each page.
Poppy and Mimi used available commodities to care for their family. Many of the recipes seem strange to us today. However, I have to tell you that Green Tomato Pie is scrumptious if you like tart. Choosing tomatoes already white just before the pink starts yields a little less tartness. This was one of Mother's specialties.
A few recipes at the end of the collection were tucked into the back of the book by my mother. We included them simply because that is the way we found the book.
If you are part of my family, this is a treasure it warms my heart to share with you. If you are a friend, you are now part of our larger family and that makes the journey all the more special.
As soon as our brander helps, we will have Mimi's Cookbook here for you to peruse.

Q: Best way to encrypt user password via command line Ruby client to authenticate with a Rails application Background: We currently have a Rails application that uses Devise & LDAP for authentication.  Users simply provide their user & password to sign-in/login and establish a session via a browser. Because we use LDAP we don't need (or want) to store passwords in our Rails app.  This works great.  We also have a Ruby command line utility that has limited functionality and is primarily used for backend automation, but users can use the client CLI to perform certain actions in our app.  Now we want to add authentication to our Ruby client (supported on Windows & Linux).
So what's the best way to send a user's password to our Rails application for authentication?  The catch is we don't want user's to enter their passwords in clear text on the command line (for various reasons).
Proposal:
I was thinking about using openssl to create a utility in our Ruby client that allows users to store and encrypt their passwords (with perhaps other config info) in a local encrypted file.  Our Ruby client could then send this encrypted config file on all HTTPS calls to our Rails app.  On the Rails side we could decrypt the file, extract the password and authenticate the user via Devise LDAP before allowing the requested action.
I can think of a few pitfalls with this design and curious if anyone has a better solution or advice?
Note: This is an internal tool so we don't need to be paranoid about security, at the same time we don't want anyone to get someone else's corp password. Ideally this solution also has to prevent any of our app developers from being able to access user passwords as well.

A: I know this question is rather old but the answer can be useful for others.
I think openssl is your best bet. You don't have to create the password storage utility yourself.  You can maybe extend it if you need to.
There is already a tool in a gem called keybox (created by Jeremy Hinegardner).
From the rubyforge.org (homepage of the application):

*

*Keybox provides 2 command line applications, keybox and kpg

*

*keybox: a pure ruby command line password storage application that uses the OpenSSL libraries included with ruby for the encryption.

*kpg: pure ruby implementation of the Automated Password Generator (apg)
program. It attempts to implemented all the functionality of 'apg',
but it is not completely compatible.
You can find it at http://keybox.rubyforge.org/ with docs at http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/keybox/1.2.1.

Q: Template value before typename I have following simplified example code where I attempt to figure out whether given value is the maximum value of enum of it's type.
enum class MyEnum : unsigned char {
    VALUE,
    OTHER_VALUE,
    _LAST
};

template<typename T, T _L>
bool is_not_last(T value) {
    return value < _L;
}

int main()
{
    is_not_last<MyEnum, MyEnum::_LAST>(MyEnum::OTHER_VALUE);

    return 0;
}

How can I format template so I can call is_not_last without specifying type first.
Desired outcome:
is_not_last<MyEnum::_LAST>(MyEnum::OTHER_VALUE);
Following declarations didn't work:
template<T _L>
bool is_not_last(T value); // Doesn't have typename specified

template<typename T _L>
bool is_not_last(T value); // Invalid syntax

I feel like compiler should be able to deduce type from MyEnum::_LAST but I haven't been able to figure that out.
Thank you very much.

A: Since C++17, you might do
template <auto L>
bool is_not_last(decltype(L) value) {
    return value < L;
}

New Discoveries in Art Authentication Methods
In a paper published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers revealed that it is possible to determine if a work of art was made before or after the nuclear bomb tests of the 1940s. By testing a tiny paint sample or a single canvas fiber for the number of carbon 14 isotopes, historians can determine the authenticity of paintings stated to have been made prior to 1940. Since the era's nuclear tests, carbon 14 isotopes have increased in all organic matter. Although an increase in the number of carbon 14 isotopes is not good for the planet, this chemical signature is very useful in the dating of works of art and authentication efforts.

Art Employees Share Their Salaries and Income Discrepancies
In an effort to highlight the economic inequality in the art world, Michelle Millar Fisher and her colleagues at the Philadelphia Museum of Art have created a database and spreadsheet entitled "Art/Museum Salary Transparency" that allows museums, galleries, and others employed in the arts to contribute their salary and demographic information. This sobering information highlights the disparities in salaries throughout the industry. Since the spreadsheet went live a week ago, over 2100 entries have been added. One hope Fisher has for the public spreadsheet is that it may lead to some kind of reform in salaries across the field and aid in the further diversification across socioeconomic backgrounds in the hiring process.

Visual Artist and Documentarian Camille Billops Dies at 85
This week, influential artist and filmmaker Camille Billops passed away at 85 years old. Her most prominent films include Suzanne Suzanne (1982), a documentary about her niece's recovery from heroin addiction, and Finding Christa (1991), a largely autobiographical film about Billops' decision to leave her four-year-old daughter at an orphanage in 1960 and their reunion 30 years later. The latter won the 1992 Grand Jury Prize for Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival. Billops was also involved in women's rights collectives and taught at Rutgers University and City University of New York. She co-founded the Hatch-Billops Collection in 1968 which consists of thousands of photographs, books and more that document the lives and careers of black American artists, as well as published the journal Artist and Influence: The Journal of Black American Cultural History since 1981.

The Hawks were looking to bounce back from a one possession road loss to Delta by coming out strong at home against inner-city rival Sac City tonight. The Hawks definitely set the tone in the first half with hard-nosed defensive and uptempo man offense. CRC attacked the rim aggressively and often scoring in the paint on offensive sets and transition. Offense came difficult for the Panthers of Sac City with the swarming defense they faced in the half court. The Hawks took a 35-25 lead into the break.
At halftime, the CRC coaching staff showed excitement for their team's first half performance but strongly advised their players to stay hungry and focused. They were reminded that this is a huge rivalry game and that Sac City will come out with something to prove, attack heavily off the dribble to score, and be very aggressive defensively.
In the second half, that is exactly what happened. Sac City started with a layup, and-one finish in the paint from an offensive rebound, and a three in the corner to go on an 8-0 in three straight possessions. After a CRC timeout, Sac City continued the momentum with another 10-4 run. The Panthers forced another timeout by CRC. Sac City went on a 26-12 run over the first 7:20 of the second half. From that point, it was a struggle to get any kind of momentum to swing back the Hawks way. The Panthers led by as much as 16 in this game. CRC cut it to 8 points under 2 minutes left with trapping, steals, and quick 3s that hit. Unfortunately, the deficit was too much for the comeback. The Hawks took a devastating loss 84-70.
After the game, a few thoughts were shared by the CRC coaches. Assistant Coach Tony Champion felt that "we showed how good we can be as well as the opposite. We have to improve on playing complete games." This game was definitely a tale of two halves. Head Coach Jonathan James continued the conversation sharing that "at some point, you have to play with your heart. Tonight, Sac City did that. This game wasn't and X's and O's battle. It was a matter of will, heart, and pride! Tonight, we didn't show that and got beat."
CRC stands at 2-3 in the Big 8 Conference and 6-9 overall. The Hawks travel to Santa Rosa to face the top team in the Big 8 #14 state ranked Bearcubs this Thursday at 7:30pm.
