Bucchero became the fifth horse to become a two-time winner of the Woodford Stakes (GIII) presented by Keeneland Select on Saturday, as the all-time leading Indiana-sired money leader defeated a field comprised of ten other contenders in the 5 ½-furlong turf sprint.
Having won the 2017 edition of the $200,000 race, Bucchero joined back-to-back winners Morluc (2000-2001), Sgt. Bert (2005-2006), and Silver Timber (2009-2010). Havelock won the race in 2011 and again in 2013.
With jockey Fernando De La Cruz in the irons for trainer Tim Glyshaw and owner Ironhorse Racing Stable LLC, Bucchero bested Will Call by half a length after sitting just off the pace set by Rocket Heat, who faded in the stretch. The winning time of 1:04.04 was nearly a second slower than his winning time in 2017 — although the turf was listed as "firm" last year and "good" on Saturday.
Bucchero won for the eleventh time in thirty starts, but the victory on Saturday was his first since last year's Woodford. He finished a game fourth in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (GI) last year at Del Mar following his Woodford victory, and he'll be once again take on the best turf sprinters in the world at Churchill Downs where the Breeders' Cup is returning for the first time since 2011.
"We'll definitely be there," said Glyshaw when asked if his six-year-old son of Kantharos (out of Meetmeontime by General Meeting) would be returning to the Turf Sprint.
With his win on Saturday, Bucchero became the leading Indiana-bred money-winner (photo by Ryan Dickey).
Having won at 26-1 last year, Bucchero went off as the post-time favorite at 3-1 this year. He paid $8.40 to win, $4,40 to place and $3.20 to show.
Glyshaw, who is based out of Churchill Downs and Indiana Grand as well as Fair Grounds in the winter had quite an opening weekend of the Keeneland fall meet, as he saw two-year-old filly Fun Paddy win the finale on Friday. Under the guidance of jockey Edgar Morales, Fun Paddy paid $110.60 for his maiden special weight victory.
Bucchero won't have to travel far in his quest to become a millionaire, as he sits at $937,936 in career earnings and can see the Churchill Downs track from his stall.
Bucchero passed Indiana-bred Lady Foghorn to become the leading Indiana-sired money-winner.

How can academics help students with anxiety issues?
This is a guest post from Karin Blak, a therapist with over 15 years of training and experience in helping people overcome issues such as anxiety, including running training workshops for young people and those with pastoral care responsibilities such as teachers. Regular readers of the blog will also know that Karin is my wife, and I may be biased, but I think she's written a really useful and informative piece on an issue that's concerning many academics and their universities at the moment. If you want to get in touch with Karin to ask about training workshops that she offers, or to follow up on any of this, click on that link to her web site or drop me a line.
Listening to and reading about the issues students in higher education have, anxiety seems to be on the rise. I do wonder whether it is more likely that, with developments in psychology and therapy, we are better able to accept that there is such a condition as "anxiety" and are aware of how to spot it, rather than blaming shyness or laziness. But whatever the source of this rise, we need to consider how academics can help students with anxiety.
Anxiety is not a disability, but it is a dis-abler. It is a fear based condition that increases if it is treated with too much empathy. For example, if we allow students to not participate in group activities because of anxiety, we are being too empathic and instead of helping the student, as was our intention, we empower the condition. So if too much empathy is a bad thing, what can we do to help? To answer this question we need to understand what anxiety actually is.
Anxiety stems from our prehistoric ancestors who had an innate strategy to detect and survive threats to their lives. With the help of adrenaline certain abilities would be strengthened, such as strength, speed or numbness. Their bodies would shut down all but the most important functions they needed for these actions. This is also known as fight, flight freeze, or fall (pretend to be dead). Once the danger was over, the body would return to normal.
We still innately possess this ability to detect danger and our bodies tend to react in the same way. This is still important for our survival, though at times it can stop us from achieving our potential. If this ability is activated in situations that do not threaten our lives, but where we feel uncomfortable or lack confidence, we will feel like running away, lose our words, our pulse will increase, we might begin to sweat, and ultimately we will enter into a state of panic.
Social encounters, presenting information to groups, taking part in discussions and debates all activate anxiety for someone who has been fine tuned to this strategy. As part of developing knowledge, experience and maturity students in higher education are encouraged to partake in all of these experiences.
Almost like being possessed, extreme anxiety will effectively shut down any capabilities a student has and replace them with noise and undermining messages. At the same time if the student is allowed not to participate, the anxiety is likely to get worse and anxiety will be controlling the student. It is a cycle that the student will probably know really well but perhaps not be completely conscious of.
The tricky thing is that anxious students believe that anxiety is an integral part of who they are. They have lived with it for most of their lives and many have not had help. To feel anxiety so intensely will stop the most capable student from succeeding and academic staff will play a role in that failure if anxiety is treated like a disability.
For a student with anxiety, the most supportive action by lecturers would be to enable participation in classes.
Referring the student to the university's counselling services is a must. Counsellors have special training in working with anxiety and should be able to provide coping strategies while the underlying reasons are worked with.
Talk with the student one-to-one and decide what they are going to say or do in an upcoming session. Make it a short spoken sentence or piece of work initially, even if it is only to agree with something that is said in a seminar for instance, or give them a question to ask after a lecture. Let them know that you are there to support them through this. Rehearsing the words with them will prepare the brain for participation, and if coached to participate it will be the first step in externalising anxiety rather than letting it rule the present and future life of the student.
After the session, follow this up one-to-one with affirmation so the student can see that they are capable, that they did the right thing, and that they coped.
It is worth academics familiarising themselves with the information on here too so that they have a good understanding of the situation and can be of optimum help to students who live with anxiety.
The above advice will not apply to all students with anxiety. For example, if anxiety is secondary to a primary condition such as bipolar or a personality disorder, then different coping strategies need to be considered and working closely with student support services would be a recommendation. Likewise, depression is often caused by anxiety as anxiety has a tendency to isolate an individual and destroy self-esteem. Seeking professional help is again recommended.
We all feel anxious sometimes. I used to accept invites to social events and as time drew closer I would end up cancelling. It hasn't completely gone away, but I know what anxiety is up to and can resist the temptation to dive into the overwhelming feelings it's presenting me with.
I know of academics with vast experience of presenting their topic to large groups of students and peers, who still feel like running away before they go on stage. People who have studied their subject in minute detail and still struggle to find the words for what they want to say..…sometimes, only sometimes, not all the time, because they too have stopped listening to the voice of anxiety.
To get to the point of being able to manage anxiety, help is needed. Training, therapy, self-help, CBT, whatever suits the individual, is a great way of getting to know and control this monster, but most of all it takes support from people around them, including academics.
Ultimately facing the fear and doing it anyway is the only cure, and Susan Jeffers' book of the same name is still a top seller when it comes to managing an anxious life. University academics are in the perfect position to help change a student's life, not just by imparting your knowledge and skills, but in the support you can provide to your anxious students.
Some years ago a first year undergraduate emailed me from his personal email address which began "iwillrapeyou@xxxxx". I'm sure the student and his mates thought this was hilarious when he set up his first email account as a young teenager. I politely suggested to him that maybe now, as a grown-up interacting with other grown-ups who were supporting his education, it might be time to change it. "Do you really intend to submit applications for jobs using that address?" I asked.
Looking at the addresses of some recent students I see things such as "buttercup123@xxxx", "reds360@xxxx", "halilulyah247@xxxx", "canadiankckrz@xxxx", "MAXSAMJAM@xxxx", "beaniethemanmusic96@xxxx", "iamwoody22@xxxx", "SAVETHEPANDAS@xxxx". Now none of these addresses are as obnoxious or inflammatory as the first example I gave, but all of them say something about the person behind the email address, whether they are aware of it or not. These addresses tell the wider world that the person who sent an email is a football fan, or an environmentalist, or a music fan, or has a wacky nickname, etc. And it's fine to be all of those things. But what they lack is any kind of professionalism, they all sound like they are emails from teenagers, not grown ups.
So my advice to all students (undergraduate and postgraduate) would be: think carefully about your email address and what it is saying about you, and consider whether that's the perception you wish to give to prospective employers.
And while you're at it you might also want to reconsider including your birth year in the address: that's an important piece of personal information that could be of use to unscrupulous cyber criminals.

Woodward, Hexcel attempt to become a force in aerospace
by: MICHELLE CHAPMAN, Associated Press
Woodward and Hexcel are merging in an all-stock deal that would create one of the largest suppliers in the aerospace and defense industry.
The companies say the tie-up will allow them to create more efficient aircraft that will reduce emissions, a big hurdle for the aerospace industry.
"The future of flight and energy efficiency will be defined by next-generation platforms delivering lower cost of ownership, reduced emissions, and enhanced safety – and a combined Hexcel and Woodward will be at the forefront of this evolution," Hexcel CEO Nick Stanage said in a prepared statement.
Hexcel's stock jumped 9.6% at the opening bell Monday. Shares of Woodward rose 5.1%.
The new company, called Woodward Hexcel, will generate more than $5 billion in annual sales with a market capitalization nearing $14 billion and more than 16,000 employees.
Woodward Hexcel will have manufacturing operations in 14 countries on five continents.
Both companies supply Airbus and Boeing, including parts for the 737 Max. With Boeing ensnared in one if its biggest crisis following the crash of two of its marquee aircraft, industry analysts speculate the deal may have been pushed forward to better position the combined company with Airbus.
"With Airbus' share of the commercial aerospace market likely to gradually rise, Woodward believes Hexcel's strong European sales force and Airbus market position should help it rapidly expand its market position," analyst Nicholas Heymann of William Blair wrote.
Hexcel shareholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 0.625 shares of Woodward Inc. common stock for each share of Hexcel Corp. stock that they own. Woodward shareholders will continue to own the same number of shares in the combined company as they do immediately prior to the closing.
Existing Woodward shareholders will own about 55% of the combined company, with Hexcel shareholders owing about 45%.
Stanage will serve as CEO of the combined company. Woodward President, Chairman and CEO Tom Gendron will serve as executive chairman of the combined company until the first anniversary of the merger's closing. At that time Gendron plans to retire and will then serve as non-executive chairman of the combined company until the second anniversary of the merger's closing. At that point, Stanage will take on the additional role of chairman.
The combined company's board will have 10 members, consisting of five directors from each company, including Gendron and Stanage.
The combined business will be based in Fort Collins, Colorado, where Woodward has its headquarters. Hexcel is based in Stamford, Connecticut.
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter. It still needs approval from the shareholders of both companies, as well as regulatory approvals.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 edged 0.2% higher to close at 24,083.51, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 added 0.2% to 7,079.50. South Korea's Kospi rose 0.5% to 2,261.27, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 0.7% to 28,860.25. The Shanghai Composite index gained 0.5% to 3,089.66.

Is Accrington becoming a ghost town?
AT least 20 shops now lie empty in Accrington town centre, raising fears it could become a ghost town.
CLOSED - Just 1 of the 20+ shops to have closed in Accrington.
In a stroll around town, our photographer snapped numerous vacant premises and To Let signs in Union Street, Blackburn Road, Broadway, Peel Street and the Arndale Centre.
And concerns have been expressed that the council's flagship new Market Square development - designed to bring extra investment - may be forcing out existing retailers.
In recent months, big-name traders such as Vodafone, Our Price and Greenwoods have moved out of the town, with several independent businesses also closing their doors.
Peel ward councillor Graham Jones urged regeneration chiefs to re-think their policy, saying: "The main reason the town centre is failing is that there is no inward investment. There are far too many shops - especially pound shops - and the quality of them is going down and down, so they don't attract money.
"Personally, I don't think there was any need for the market development - I think the pavilions are a step forward but the increase in retail units is a step backwards because they are affecting other businesses.
"I have yet to meet an Accrington resident who thinks that the town centre is progressing. They all think it is getting worse year after year.
"The council needs to have a look around and realise just how many vacant premises there are. It is a tragedy what is happening and it is about time it had a radical re-think of its policy."
Shoppers also expressed fears over the number of empty units. Jean Hogan, of Belfield Road, Accrington, said: "The town centre used to be beautiful, but it is shocking what has happened to it now.
"I first came here when I was two years old and in the last 64 years I have lived all over the country. I wouldn't have come back here if I'd known it was going to be like this."
Another shopper, visiting the town from Rossendale, said: "There have been loads of shops closed since I was last here.
"It does put you off coming back, especially as there are so many pound shops now. They need to get some proper, big-name stores in order to change things."
But Philip Bond, president of Hyndburn's Chamber of Trade, said he did not think there were any more empty shops in Accrington than in other small towns.
He said: "I think the new boarded-up shops in the Market Square development may give the impression that there is a problem, but as far as I am aware negotiations are still going ahead to fill these units.
"Once they are full, I think it will encourage further investment. Some of the larger units - such as the old McDonald's on Blackburn Road - have already re-opened.
"There has also been planning permission put in for a cafe in the Arndale Centre, which is further proof that people are investing in the town.
"I think the new market development can only enhance the town centre and it has certainly brought more people here."
Councillor Peter Britcliffe, leader of Hyndburn Council, said: "I am well aware of these empty units and I do consider that they are slow in filling up.
"But it is never a fast process and nobody is going to open up in January.
"While I share people's concerns, one has to be optimistic that the market development will attract more shops - certainly the ones that we've got seem to be successful and the number of people visiting Accrington is increasing."

Getting the Most from your Video Production Company: Tips for Asking the Right Questions
By Spiracle Staff on May 21, 2013 in Blog
An integral part of success in your marketing strategy is reaching consumers. Producing an online marketing video or videos can help you take a big step in the right direction, but with that approach comes the process of selecting the right company for the job. Here's a few tips to ask the right questions to get the most from your Video Production Company.
Is the investment worth it?
You don't want this to be a one time video connection. Forming a relationship should be a goal so you don't find yourself looking for another company every time you need a new video. Look for someone who communicates well and exhibits a solid grasp on the company goals you have in mind. The quality might be amazing, but if there is nothing to back up that quality, all you have is a good video with no additional connection. Make sure to ask how they plan to present your story and personalize your company.
Decide how much you want to spend on video marketing. Remember videos will be the first thing consumers associate with your business so it is okay to spend a little more if you can. Being tight with your video budget can leave you with a lackluster video that has a short shelf life. Ask about how the video production company breaks down each of the costs and decide if it makes sense. Most companies are flexible, allowing them to produce a package that fits your needs.
Do they follow changing trends of video production?
Marketing videos grow and change as the trends grow and change. The point of video is to help you stand out and express your own unique message, not blend in with the other millions of videos. You can only stand out if you have fresh ideas that captivate consumers. A professional looking video with a clearly defined message and an element of creativity can be a winning combination.
Do the videos seem cheesy or professional?
You don't want your consumers to feel they are being solicited or bombarded with your company rhetoric. Clarity in the audio as well as the colors and overall picture quality is essential. Viewers need to have a clear path to getting engaged and soaking in the message. Lesser quality can lead to an unneeded distraction. The more you engage the consumer, the more excited they'll become about your product. Everything needs to flow in order to keep the attention of your viewers.
Do they truly care?
The video production company may look great on paper and video, but find out who they really are. Speak with people at the company and decide their business ethics. They need to ask you about your company and your goals. If they are not interested in your projects and your finish line, then they might not be the right fit for you. Their passion combined with your love for the business will make the video a success.
Is this a right fit?
Do your research by looking over their website, past experience, reading their blogs, client reviews and asking them direct questions. Companies or individuals with a background in television or broadcasting can be big plus when it comes to telling your story. There is no substitute for experience. Clearly define the point person and roles for all those involved in the process.
Success comes from working together for the greater good. A high quality video that reaches potential consumers will help you grow your business and connect on a deeper level. It will also formulate a relationship with the production company that can prove beneficial going forward. Once you answer all of these questions about your video production company, sit back and let the professionals present your message.

Not Enough Made of Sports Social Media Trolls
By Jarod Latch on May 16, 2013 in Blog
A Rebuttal to USA TODAY's Christine Brennan
I've always highly respected Christine Brennan. She's rightfully won a handful of journalism awards while paving the way for women in the industry. But a piece she wrote this week titled "Too Much Made of Twitter Rants on Athletes" badly missed the mark about sports social media trolls. Fieldhouse Media founder Kevin DeShazo already wrote a solid response, but I can't help feeling the need to share some thoughts as well.
Brennan argues that we should essentially just ignore trolls who attack athletes on Twitter. Since most of them have small followings, it's not like many people are
seeing their venom. She then quotes Robert Thompson, the director of the Bleier Center for Television & Popular Culture at Syracuse University, who says, "What amazes me is how much attention the professional journalistic establishment pays to a lot of this stuff … Twitter is being covered now as though it's the most important thing in the world."
As Twitter-obsessed as I am, I do agree many of us heavy users are often guilty of exaggerating its significance. It's always important to remember the majority of America still doesn't use Twitter – including Thompson. Well, he may look at it, but he doesn't have an active account. So while he's right to ask us to keep Twitter's importance in perspective, I'm not sure a man who doesn't actively use the service is the best voice to use as the sole quote in Brennan's piece. To me, Thompson and Brennan (who does have an active Twitter account) are guilty of putting their heads in the sand.
First of all, while Thompson sloughs off Twitter, I'd hope one of the most highly regarded pop culture professors in the world is aware that ESPN and Yahoo just locked in new partnerships with the social media giant. I'm guessing Thompson also knows that much of the talk at this week's TV Upfronts involved Twitter's expanding role on our television sets. Sure, Thompson's somewhat accurate when he says a Twitter story in the news isn't "what everybody's thinking … It's what people who are tweeting are thinking," but I'd hate to bet against Twitter further ingraining itself in our culture.
Brennan, meanwhile, makes a good point that when the media covers sports social media trolls, all that really does is give them the attention they so desire. But she also misses this point – while many don't see what the trolls spew, there are people on the other side of the messages that are well aware of what's being written. Believe it or not, most athletes do check their Twitter mentions. So unless we think all athletes are cold, money-hungry, emotionless robots, I'm not sure the solution is for the rest of us to turn away from this kind of online abuse.
With his hot streak in the NBA Playoffs, Spiracle Media client Stephen Curry continued to inch closer to superstardom. But with that, came the other side. While his postseason play helped him eclipse a combined one-million followers on Twitter and Facebook, all the attention he received was like honey to the always-starving trolls. So while Curry's popularity grew worldwide, some "fans" weren't all that concerned about his oft-injured ankles.
@StephenCurry30 hope you shatter your ankle
— Carson T. Embry (@carson_embry) May 15, 2013
Of course, the example above is mild compared to some of the venom Curry receives on his social media sites. While monitoring Curry's mentions over the past couple years, I've actually found that Facebook users are much more trollish than Twitter users.
So why does Twitter always get named in stories about sports social media trolls? There's a few reasons, including the fact that most athletes enjoy using Twitter over Facebook, plus Twitter timelines and alerts are easier for them to catch up on their mentions. But give Facebook credit for this – it at least has a profanity filter, something Twitter lacks.
So What Can We Do About Sports Social Media Trolls?
While I clearly don't think Brennan's advice of ignoring trolls is a good option, I'm also not sure of a solid solution. All I know is we have to figure out something. Racial attacks and death threats via social media were once a story, now they're commonplace. I'm not willing to just put my arms up and say, "Who's really paying attention to these people anyway?"
And don't think athletes and celebrities are the only people dealing with this nonsense. Bringing back in Curry for an example again, after he had a brief exchange with a fan during the Warriors first round playoff series, this is what a troll tweeted to his wife:
https://twitter.com/Travisty08/status/329599459925299200
The "fan" who wrote the above tweet was just getting started. He wound up mentioning Curry's wife in 43 more angry and caustic tweets. That's harassment of an athlete's family member, and it's not something we should ignore. Something has to be done to slow down the trolls.
Yes, the more media coverage they get, the more they'll feel empowered. So maybe Twitter itself has to lead the way. It's not the only social network, but it's the most popular among athletes. In my opinion, trolls are the biggest threat to Twitter's entire existence. Athletes and celebrities helped make the service the superpower it is today, but if they continue to be subjected to growing online abuse, how many of them will eventually have enough and sign-off like NFL kicker David Akers?
Or maybe someone with a strong voice and large platform like Christine Brennan would be able to make a difference. She's tackled many societal issues in her career. Perhaps, instead of hoping this one just goes away, she could help find a much needed solution.

Clean and unclean meat, part 1
The Bible says that certain animals are not clean, and may not be eaten. Many Christians innocently avoid food containing meat from these animals. Some denomination, like Adventism, make it part of their doctrine that these are unclean and should not be eaten. What is the context in the Bible, and does it apply to Christians?
Ellen White centenary prayers (novena) – Conclusion
Novena ConclusionToday, 16 July 2015, is the centenary of the death of Ellen White, Adventist prophetess. This Novena has asked her and all the angels and saints to pray with us for the return of the Adventist faith to the original teachings of Christianity.
Ellen White centenary prayers (novena) – Day 9
Today, on the centenary of Ellen White's death, we pray for Adventism, that its members may share the faith of the Saints of the Church, and share in their glory in heaven with Mary, the Virgin Mother of God, the Apostles, the Patriarchs, and all the Saints of God. We pray, on the eve of Ellen White's birthday, that her teachings diminish and the teachings of Christ through his Church increase. We ask Ellen, along with all the angels and saints, to pray with us for this blessing.
Today, leading up to the centenary of Ellen White's death, we pray for Adventism, which condemns the Lord's Supper as pagan and idolatrous, not able to recognise the Body of Christ in the Eucharist, not willing to recognise the biblical pattern of each action and phrase used, out of fear and suspicion. We pray that they come to see what Christians since the first century have seen, and believe what has been believed by Christians for nearly 2000 years.
Today, leading up to the centenary of Ellen White's death, we pray for Adventism, who deny the spirit of man. Instead of believing in a heaven filled with saints praising God, to them, we are alone, with no living cloud of witnesses to pray for their fellow Christians on earth. We pray that they come to understand the biblical teaching that our fellow-believers have indeed become spirits made perfect, and that we praise God united with them.
Today, leading up to the centenary of Ellen White's death, we pray for Adventism, which teaches its followers to try to live according to selected laws of the Old Covenant. There were many health-related laws under the Old Covenant, but these are not used by Adventism. Dietary laws were symbolic, and Peter was shown one aspect of the symbolism in vision. It is not our diet that God is pleased with, it is our heart. We pray that God reveal this to the followers of Adventism.
Today, leading up to the centenary of Ellen White's death, we pray for Adventism, which has, several times, set dates for the return of Christ, and has followed a prophetess whose prophecies were not in harmony with the Bible, and turned out to be false prophecies. May the realisation of this fact bring them closer to the truth.
Today, leading up to the centenary of Ellen White's death, we pray for Adventism, which teaches rest on the 7th day, and objects when we celebrate Christ's resurrection on the 8th day. We pray that they may discover that their rest is in Christ, that we are not bound by days that were signs of the Old Covenant, that they may commemorate the new creation in Christ, instead of the old creation in Adam, and that they may celebrate our exodus from sin and not just Israel's exodus from Egypt.
Today, leading up to the centenary of Ellen White's death, we pray for Adventism, whose theology of the Sabbath leads them to feel persecuted by other faiths, which in turn leads them to fear and distance themselves from other Christians. We hope that they may find a sense of belonging and identity in the Christian community, the communion of saints, without having to find that sense of belonging and identity from a sense of persecution.
Today, leading up to the centenary of Ellen White's death, we pray for Adventism, which teaches strange doctrines not known to the original Christian faith. Jesus was said to be returning in 1843, and later 1844, and when he failed, the doctrine of the Investigative Judgement was developed to cover up that error in predicting Jesus' return. May God lead them to realise that many of their teachings are found neither in the Bible, nor in the original faith of the Apostles, and, in fact, contradict them.
Today, leading up to the centenary of Ellen White's death, we pray for Adventism, that it might see the light and truth it rejects in the Catholic faith it despises. Many within their fold fear the Catholic faith, despise it, and speak against it, not fully comprehending its beauty and faithfulness to the truth contained in the Bible. May God soften their hearts so that they may see the love we share, and the glory we give God in our lives and in our worship.
Ellen White centenary prayers (novena) – Introduction
In the Nine Days leading up to the 100th anniversary of the death of Adventist prophetess Ellen White (16 July 2015), we will say a novena – a prayer continued for nine days – for those who follow her teachings today.

The Bavarian G 5/5 goods train, steam locomotives were intended for steep stretches of line belonging to the Royal Bavarian State Railways (Königlich Bayerische Staatsbahn) network in northern Bavaria. The extremely sharp rise in the levels of traffic on these lines in the years leading up to the First World War meant that the eight-coupled Bavarian E I and G 4/5 N classes previously employed there were increasingly unable to cope.

The first 15 examples were built in 1911 by Maffei.  The G 5/5 was the first Bavarian goods train locomotive to be built with a superheater and four-cylinder compound engine. It acquitted  itself well in practice and achieved very good consumption figures. As a result, a further 80, more powerful, engines were procured from 1920 to 1924.

The Bavarian G 5/5 was the most powerful, ten-coupled locomotive of all the German state railways (Länderbahnen). In this respect it was far superior to the Prussian G 10 and even the Prussian G 12 was unable to match it.

Of the first series, the seven remaining examples left after the First World War and the associated reparations were taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn, being renumbered as 57 501–507. The 80 engines from the follow-on order went straight into the Bavarian Group Administration of the Reichsbahn and were later allocated operating numbers 57 511–590.

In 1930, as a consequence of the worldwide economic crisis, former Länderbahn freight locomotives were increasingly retired even if they had not reached their full service life. In addition to antiquated Prussian classes such as the G 4 and G 5, large numbers of clearly much newer locomotives of south German manufacture were withdrawn. How much the "Berlin veto" (Bannstrahl) of the Reichsbahn's Chief Mechanical Engineer, Richard Paul Wagner, was responsible, is difficult to say at this distance, but it was very probably a major factor.

In addition to the 57.5, this also affected the Bavarian 56.8, as well as ex-Baden (e.g. the Baden VIII e), ex-Württemberg (e.g. the Württemberg H and Hh) and ex-Saxon (e.g. the Saxon XI V, XI H and XI HV).

Increasing electrification of the south German railway network and the low numbers of some engine classes also played their part. Transferring the complex and demanding south German machines to depots in the north was out of the question, despite their relative newness. In addition, enough new or relatively new Prussian locomotives were already available there.

At the end of the Second World War 20 vehicles remained in service. Most of them were retired by 1947 with war damage; some survived in the Deutsche Bundesbahn until 1950 as a splinter group.

Kalinda in the composer's own words represent this concept: "Humans can make wonders; but in reality, everything comes from the Creator." Compositionally, the text is one that is celebratory. The invitation is made to dance to the sound of the drum and the drum is essential for dancing and ultimately for celebration. This a capella piece captures percussive as well as melodic elements of Kalinda.
Al Hanisim is a special insertion into the Prayer of Thanksgiving, found in the daily and Sabbath services.

A person claiming to be 14 years old also told police in Kentucky Wednesday that he had just escaped from kidnappers in the Cincinnati area after being held captive for seven years. The FBI said Thursday that DNA testing ruled him out as being Timmothy who was removed at age 6 by his mother from his Aurora school.
Amy Fry-Pitzen later was found dead at a hotel in Illinois in a suicide. She left a note that said Timmothy was with others who would love and care for him.
Authorities have rejected a teenager's claim that he is an Illinois boy who disappeared in 2011 at age 6.
The FBI says DNA testing ruled out the teenager as being Timmothy Pitzen, missing from Aurora, Illinois. Police say the story of the teenager found wandering streets in Newport, Kentucky, on Wednesday didn't check out.


Creating dashboards can take a lot of time. With this simple technique that I just learned, you can quickly select and align charts for your final Excel Dashboard presentation.
Did you know that you can select all of your charts with a Keyboard Shortcut? This step combined with Step 2 is what will save you all the time in creating your Excel dashboard.
Why is this important? Because you can quickly select all of your charts and then resize them to create a sharp looking presentation.
So tell me the keyboard shortcut already!
First, you must select a chart, any chart, in the Chart Area. This is typically found in the white space of the chart. Don't select any data series, any axis, the title or legend of the chart as this will stop the technique from working.
Second, press CTRL+A to select all to select all of your charts on the active worksheet.
NOTE: This will not only select every chart, it will also select every picture on your worksheet.
Now that the dashboard charts are selected on the worksheet, we need to get them all to look the same.
In order to do this, we can use the Ribbon and Size controls.
You will find these controls in the Drawing Tools > Format Ribbon.
NOTE: You will ONLY see these controls when you have at least one chart selected.
Now that the charts are all the same size, we need to get them into the right position. To do this, first, unselect the charts by clicking anywhere in the worksheet. Then select the charts you want on the top of the dashboard by holding down either the Shift or CTRL key and then use your mouse to left click on each graph.
Now that you have the charts selected, click on the Drawing Tools > Format Ribbon and then click on the Align button.
Complete the action by choosing Align Top from the Align Drop Down Menu.
Final action would be with the charts selected to move them to the final location you want. I want my Excel Dashboard charts positioned around the logo, so it may look a little strange at this stage.
This step is very similar to the previous one, but it only deals with the edges. So for this example, I mean aligning the 2 left charts and then the 2 rightmost charts.
For either the left of the right sides, first, select the charts using your left mouse button while holding down the SHIFT or CTRL button.
Then click on the Drawing Tools > Format Ribbon and then click on the Align button.
Complete the action by choosing Align Left from the Align Drop Down Menu.
I feel that spending time on the dashboard aesthetics will help your readers focus on the charts and the data versus being distracted by improper sizes and alignments. If you learn these Excel Dashboard tips and tricks, you will not only save time, you will look like a rockstar to your executives.
Did you know about CTRL+A selecting charts only before? I hadn't thought about it till just recently. What is your favorite keyboard shortcut or chart tip/trick? Let me know in the comments below!


I had the good fortune to attend the VeeamON 2018 conference last week in Chicago. Around 2,200 attendees were on hand to learn about Veeam's intelligent data management solutions and the company's vision for the future of the "always-on," multi-cloud enterprise. This event was an exciting opportunity to meet all of the Veeam executives and learn about their strategies for 2018 and beyond.
Wasabi is a Veeam cloud alliance partner and we collectively work to provide enterprise management solutions that work across disparate virtual environments to keep data active and available, regardless of where it might reside. Veeam's cloud alliance partner team provides outstanding support to emerging cloud providers such as Wasabi and it was great to meet this team in person at the event.
I also had the pleasure of meeting with several of the Veeam executives, including Anton Gostev (SVP, Product Management). It was from Anton's highly attended technical sessions that I learned that direct Veeam-to-Wasabi connectivity is imminent. As part of the new Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 4 feature, it will be possible to extend Veeam scale-out backup repository capacity with a direct interface to S3-compatible object storage like Wasabi, without the need for any other products in the middle.
Wasabi will be participating in the private beta of Update 4 this summer to validate full compatibility and to ensure that we can provide Day 1 support for this exciting new capability so that all Veeam users can immediately start leveraging the benefits of our unbeatable object storage prices.
In addition to the forthcoming native S3 interface on Veeam, there are several other approaches that our customers can use for interconnecting their existing Veeam environments to Wasabi. These include products from CloudBerry Lab, BridgeSTOR, and StarWind Software. Additional details can be found in our knowledge base article on this topic.
Veeam also announced DataLabs, a new core component of the Veeam Hyper-Availability Platform. With it, developers and operations teams can use production-like instances of virtual environments on demand in the form of isolated "sandboxes" to experiment with all kinds of things. For example, they can try out new use cases and validate updates, security vulnerabilities, forensics, and compliance with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which takes effect this Friday.
The GDPR imposes strict guidelines for global businesses around the storage and management of personal data. One of its tenets is that you must be able to see at any moment what data you have stored about an individual and have the capability to erase it at the request of that individual.
Veeam and Wasabi both work to keep your data active and always available, on demand, which helps you fulfill this GDPR requirement. Wasabi hot cloud storage is 6x faster than the next fastest solution, but only one-fifth the price. Unlike other cloud services, we don't charge for egress or API calls, so you're not penalized for accessing your data. As such, we help in this and many other ways to make sure you remain in compliance with GDPR.

Home Word News The Giant Stone Head Of Guatemala: Evidence of an Ancient Advanced Civilization?
The Giant Stone Head Of Guatemala: Evidence of an Ancient Advanced Civilization?
Admin Aug 09, 2021 comments off
Many artifacts essential to understanding the life cycle on Earth and the possible link between the human and extraterrestrial species have been buried under a thick layer of rubble caused by the constant wars that have been waged. An example of this is the Giant Stone Head Of Guatemala discovered "somewhere in the jungle of Guatemala."
The Giant Stone Head Of Guatemala had very fine characteristics: thin lips, a shaped nose and its eyes were closed, (if they had been open they would have looked at the sky. This ancient statue measures at least 9,14 meters, a unique discovery indeed, as it bears no resemblance to anything found in Central America thus far.
On August 16, 1986, Dr. Oscar Rafael Padilla Lara, enthusiast of the UFO phenomenon, philosopher and lawyer at the time, received an intriguing photo of the monolith. Its exact location remained undisclosed, with only one known reference: the date engraved on the back of the photo. The image was taken in 1950 by the owner of the land where the colossal stone head was found. Unfortunately the owner was pronounced dead a long time ago, which is why Padilla has had to find another way to find the exact location of the site.
In 1987, the stone head story was first printed in the Ancient Astronaut Society Newsletter "Ancient Skies", causing quite a stir. People wanted to know if the structure was just a head, or if it had a body buried underneath. Fortunately, the article was read by David Hatcher Childress, an adventurous archaeologist who visited various mysterious places around the world, detailing each of them in his "Mystery Travel books". Childress tried to find the exact spot where the mysterious stone head was located, so he met with Padilla, asking him for additional information regarding the location of the anomalous sculpture.
At first Padilla spoke of a relative who analyzed the photo and was successful in finding a clue that leads to one of the many Biener family properties. With no other clue available at the time, he entered a dangerous and uncertain journey that took him deep into the Guatemalan jungle in hopes of finding the coveted stone head.
finally 5 kilometers on foot, through the jungle.
When he finally reached the place known as "La Democracia", the emotion became anguish as the statue lay there full of bullet holes, and with its fine features almost unrecognizable. "It was destroyed by the revolutionaries about ten years ago," Padilla revealed. We had found the statue too late. It was used in target practice by rebels against the government. It is totally disfigured, something like the Sphinx in Egypt that had its nose destroyed, but much more ».
After Padilla recovered from the shocking moment, he took additional notes of what remained of the monument that could have rewritten our history. The eyes, nose, and mouth were completely gone. The statue was sculpted from soft sandstone, probably to achieve relief for its delicate features, but due to this soft material, its fate had been easily concealed for all eternity.
In time, David Hatcher Childress came to the site of La Democracia only to find the ruined stone head, as did Dr. Padilla. After this unfortunate episode, the story succumbed because there was no relevant evidence to confirm the existence of the photo's stone head.
In order to understand the uniqueness of the statue, one must look towards the region in which it was reported to have found it: La Democracia, a site already known for the stone heads that look up into the sky. These other stone heads were built by the Olmec civilization, which flourished between 1400 and 400 BC.
However, the stone heads that sit near the city of La Democracia do not share common features with the "Padilla stone head". The twelve Olmec statues depict pot-bellied human figures with flat faces looking up into the sky. They have a common Olmec look, a completely different style from Padilla's finely sculpted stone head.
The ancient Olmec civilization prior to the Maya is believed to have been the first to build pyramids in Mesoamerica. Knowing that the Olmecs had the means to carve these statues, is it possible that they, too, were responsible for the anomalous stone head? If not, who were its builders?
A theory supported by Phillip Coppens, an author and radio host from Belgium, claims that another ancient civilization before or after the date of the Olmecs was responsible for the "Padilla head." If so, it is possible that the only artifact they wanted to leave for posterity was the victim of the ongoing war, and the odds of a similar discovery are slim because the area is still in conflict.

A revolutionary treatment for Urinary Incontinence (UI) will be available in the Mid West before the end of the year.
PelviPower is an innovative and scientific technology introduced by PonteMed Ireland who say it will permanently change the lives of thousands of people suffering from bladder weakness and back pain in the Mid-West.
As the company begins its national expansion, Limerick has been identified as the next location for the treatment. It is expected to be up and running by December.
The HSE spends more than €100M treating incontinence every year. Statistics show that 1 in 3 women suffer from the condition, while 1 in 9 men are affected.
PelviPower has proven effective in treating pre-and post-operative patients undergoing Prostate surgery. It has been hailed as a breakthrough in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. 50% of men over the age of 40 suffer from the condition. The success rate for treating back pain is well documented, an estimated 1.65m people in Ireland suffer with back pain, with 21% reporting living with pain for more than a decade.
Conditions affecting the bladder are highly stigmatising. Individuals experiencing UI tend to feel embarrassed about their symptoms and can be reluctant to engage in social activities.
PelviPower has a stronger effect than conventional self-training. The most important advantages are that the PelviPower training does not require any effort from the patient. The training is simple and painless. It has a 75% success rate.
As you sit on the PelviPower chair in your normal clothes, you will immediately notice a muscle stimulating effect. Most patients report an improvement after around the 5th session, some earlier and some later.
Amanda Torrens co-founder and CEO of PonteMed Ireland said she was delighted to be in a position to bring the ground breaking treatment to Ireland. Amanda added that having seen it in operation in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, where it has become a permanent part of treatment, she was convinced that thousands of sufferers in Ireland would benefit from this treatment.
The treatment has proven a huge success since it's introduction in Galway more than one year ago. Patients in Dublin, Kilkenny, Kildare and Cork are set to benefit from PelviPower in 2018.

Wife of Fallen Ft. Bragg Soldier Shares Beautiful Maternity Photos
Britt Harris, the wife of a fallen Fort Bragg soldier, Army Specialist Christopher Harris, was six weeks pregnant when she found out she would never see her husband again. He died while deployed with the U.S. Army in Afghanistan, less than one year after they wed.
"Chris and I planned to visit our wedding spot every year for our anniversary," the mother-to-be told of their venue along the French Broad River in Asheville, North Carolina.
"It was going to be our little vacation getaway. October 15, 2017, would have been our one-year anniversary and I spent it at a Gold Star event for a memorial dedicated to fallen soldiers. I still wanted to visit our wedding spot for a special occasion and thought it would be appropriate to take Christian there from now on. I might not have Chris to go with me every year, but I still have a part of him I can take."
Harris took beautiful maternity photos with her unborn baby girl, Christian, in the same spot she said "I do" to her beloved fallen hero.
"Thank you for not hesitating one second when I said I wanted my maternity pictures to be done four hours away so they could be in the same spot Chris and I were married," Harris thanked her photographer, Erin Pinehurst of Pinehurst Photography, on Facebook. "Being almost 8 months pregnant I rarely feel gorgeous these days, but you made me feel beautiful!"
"It was their happy place," Pinehurst told "They were only married about a year ago. I'm told she plans to continue to go back there with the baby and have it be her happy place too."
Harris' gender reveal went wildly viral in October 2017 when her late husband's comrades announced the sex of the baby by shooting pink confetti overseas in Afghanistan.

Among top original song contenders, there's a trio of unusual writers and an old pro
Actress Mary Steenburgen penned the Oscar-contending song "Glasgow (No Place Like Home)" from the film "Wild Rose."

By Michael OrdoñaStaff Writer
Three of this year's more intriguing signature songs for movies were written by actors. Another, for a Bruce Springsteen-inspired film, was written half in Punjabi.
The accidental songwriter: Mary Steenburgen and "Glasgow"
The lilting country ballad "Glasgow (No Place Like Home)," from "Wild Rose," is one of the top contenders for an original song Oscar nomination. Its co-composer: Oscar-winning actress Mary Steenburgen. If you didn't know she was a songwriter, neither did she until she had a medical procedure on her forearm in 2007 and emerged different.
"It was a minor surgery, but I still needed to be knocked out," she says of waking up and hearing music everywhere. "The first couple of days after, I thought it was just a weird reaction to the anesthetic. I felt like a different person. The world was very definitely musical to me."
The condition is rare though not unheard of. It's sometimes called "musical hallucinations." As novel, or even enviable, as that sounds, it was decidedly discordant for the actress.
"It became a musical tornado. Everything in the world. I wanted it to go away, I wanted my old brain back. I couldn't fully focus on a conversation. I couldn't memorize lines. It wasn't something I understood."
"My husband [actor Ted Danson] said, 'Sorry, you can't go crazy,' " she says, laughing. " 'There are so many people who count on you. You're gonna have to master this; it cannot master you.' "
So Steenburgen tried to put the chaos in order by learning to write songs. She read books on the craft, learned its language and followed advice to go to Nashville. She found collaborations that honed her newfound gift and compiled dozens of songs. When she learned that "Wild Rose," a film about an irresponsible young Scottish woman chasing a dream to make it in Nashville, needed a climactic song, she went for it.
"It's not just an end-credits song, but it had to be an expression of the character's whole journey that you had just experienced," says Steenburgen.
"I read the script as an actor. I thought, if that was me standing up there and after never having been able to write a song, now I've written one, what would that character have to say? The director said this song is to her children, and really to her mother: 'I gave you hell and you were there for me and thank you.' "
Jessie Buckley sings the climactic song in "Wild Rose," "Glasgow (No Place Like Home)," co-written by Mary Steenburgen.
The actress, who won her Oscar in 1981 for her supporting role in "Melvin and Howard," conversed with a dear Scottish friend to "hear the musicality of the accent. I'd say, 'Tell me what it's like to walk around there.' She said something about the stones in the street, the cobblestones. That inspired the opening line: 'I've worn out the stones in front of your doorstep / coming and going, coming and going.'
"Then I called two of my favorite co-writers — two of everyone's favorite co-writers in Nashville, [frequent collaborator] Caitlyn Smith and Kate York. Within a few hours, we had this song.
"To me, it's the world's most beautiful puzzle. How you take a concept and individual words and take the power of rhyme, sometimes, and you take a heartbeat and melody and put all those pieces together and make a song that didn't exist before … I'm now glad I had that dumb surgery."
The legit diva: Cynthia Erivo and "Stand Up"

Tony- and Grammy-winning singer-actress Cynthia Erivo knew a lot about Harriet Tubman when composing a song for the film "Harriet"; after all, she was playing the lead. For the stirring "Stand Up," she knew she wasn't just writing from character, but one of the most inspirational characters possible.
"It's a truncated version of what she was doing and to show people they can be a person who stands up for good. You can't tell the whole story in five minutes, but you can tell quite a bit of it," says Erivo.
"It feels good to sing in the second verse: 'And I don't mind if I lose any blood on the way to salvation / And I'll fight with the strength that I got until I die.' There's strength in it. It's defiant. It's bravery. It's confident. There's something very powerful about that, and as a woman to be able to sing it."
Erivo says she has been writing songs since she was 16 ("You just haven't heard them," she says with a chuckle); she placed one on the "Beyond the Lights" soundtrack in 2014. She co-wrote "Stand Up" with the startling young talent Joshuah Campbell, whom she believes is still in seminary school. She hopes their song can be picked up by others to help spread the message. Easier said than done, considering the Grammy- and Tony-winning range and power of Erivo's instrument.
Tony-winning performer Cynthia Erivo co-wrote "Stand Up" from "Harriet," in which she also stars as Harriet Tubman.
In the song's outro, Erivo's voice turns angelic with the refrain: "I go to prepare a place for you." Those are reportedly Tubman's last words.
"There's no other real way to finish it," says Erivo. "It's particularly poignant to be able to sing those words ... I think that ending is necessary to remind people that this is what was said and what was done and we have a duty to remember it and to keep our word."
The slacker rapper: Randall Park "Punched Keanu Reeves"

In "Always Be My Maybe," Randall Park plays Marcus, a kind of slacker rapper fronting the fictional outfit Hello Peril. When it came time to deliver a hardcore lyrical smack-down detailing Marcus' physical smack-down of Keanu Reeves (playing an exaggerated version of himself), he's hilarious — but as intimidating as a sarcastic house cat.
"I would say that's kind of how I really rap," the "Fresh off the Boat" star admits with a laugh. "That's kind of my style, I guess. It's instinctual, to not put too much into it."
Before writing "I Punched Keanu Reeves" and the other Hello Peril songs, Park had some hip-hop chops; he used to be in a band with UCLA friends, Ill Again. He jumped at the chance to work with longtime Bay Area hip-hop producer Dan the Automator (Daniel M. Nakamura), who crafted the beats the two would hone into songs. They thought they were done when a Netflix executive saw a cut of the film ending with a reference to Marcus writing a song about his confrontation with Reeves. At the executive's suggestion, Park got back to work with Nakamura.
Marcus boasts, "Any summit I could be on / Any Point Break I could surf with my gi on / ... What an excellent adventure / I wouldn't be surprised if Keanu's wearing dentures / I've got a high five that can make a man die / I should be with the Justice League and the Avengers."
Randall Park delivers a slacker-rap tribute to the revered star.
Park says Reeves was enthusiastic about the song, though "he didn't want it to just be about him, but to reflect the movie in some way, and the love story. That's why in the end it reveals it's really about Marcus and Sasha and not just a tribute to Keanu Reeves."
Park laughs at the notion of engaging in an actual rap battle with anyone, though: "Oh, no, I'd get destroyed. I don't think I have it in me."
The two-time Oscar winner: A.R. Rahman and "For You My Love"
Two-time Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman contributed the sweet English/Punjabi ballad, "For You My Love" to "Blinded by the Light."
(Ashik Mohammed)
"Blinded by the Light" is not a thriller about cults. It's a comic drama based on the true story of a Pakistani British teen who loves the works of Bruce Springsteen. It boasts perhaps the sweetest movie love song of 2019, and it's not by Bruce Springsteen. And it's only half in English.
"The idea came from director Gurinder Chadha; she liked the love theme I composed for the movie, and she came up with the idea of using it as an end-title song," composer A.R. Rahman says of "For You, My Love." "I wanted to take this idea further, by combining English culture and the Sufi culture, from where the main protagonist's family originated."
"For You My Love": Two-time Oscar winner A.R. Rahman's ballad for "Blinded by the Light."
The lovely ballad is sung in English (by Hriday Gattani) and in Punjabi (by Parag Chhabra). The simple longing of its lyrics hearkens to Springsteen's "Drive All Night," and its dreamy atmosphere recalls "Secret Garden." Any resemblances, however, are purely coincidental, says Rahman — though he admits to fandom of his own.
"When I was growing up back in the '80s, I would try to sing 'Born in the U.S.A.' in such a high-pitched voice that it would hurt my throat, which was a catharsis to me. I'd never heard anyone sing a song like that before."
