ICCA Quarterfinal at University of Florida
Alexa Gedigian is a student at the University of Florida and Vice President of the all-female a cappella group: The Sedoctaves. This is her second review for The A Cappella Blog.
University of Florida held the Southern Quarterfinal for the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella in Gainesville for the second year in a row on January 26. This sold-out show was hosted by UF's co-ed group No Southern Accent and featured eight groups.
The Competitors:
University of Miami's BisCaydence
University of Florida's No Southern Accent
University of Florida's The Staff
University of Central Florida's KeyHarmony
University of Central Florida's Gemini Blvd.
Florida State University's Reverb
Loyola University's Belles
University of Central Florida's So Noted
Guest Groups: University of Florida's The Sedoctaves and Theater Strike Force
University of Florida's only all-female a cappella group The Sedoctaves opened the show with a fierce rendition of "I Am Woman," made popular by Jordin Sparks, in the style of a cappella powerhouse Musae. The Sedoctaves proved that even though they weren't competing this year, they are still a feminine force to be reckoned with. Lindsay Howerton of Varsity Vocals gave the standard announcements and introduced the two dashing emcees of the night and alumni of UF's own No Southern Accent: Daniel Doan and Nic Parsons.
The first group on stage was University of Miami's co-ed BisCaydence. The first song of the night was "Zombie" by The Cranberries. There was a very dramatic beginning as they built momentum. Melissa Simmons had a really strong, soulful solo that was a great fit with the song. The soprano special voice was really beautiful and matched up with what I remembered from The Cranberries' version. I would have liked more contrast with the quieter verses with bigger choruses. The percussive sounds at the end were so unexpected, but very cool!
BisCaydence's second piece was "Ready To Go" by Panic! At The Disco. There was a "girls versus boys" struggle in the choreography, which I'm just not sure worked with the song's message. There was a lack of chemistry between the soloist and the special voice response in the chorus. The vocal percussionist really had a chance to shine and his beat laid the foundation for the other voices.
The final song in BisCaydence's set was "Karmastition" by Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder. They definitely had the most fun with it. This song had all the energy and excitement I had been waiting to see from BisCaydence and they really delivered. Alyssa Wilkins brought an R&B flavor with her solo, echoed by fantastic backing from the group. They executed a dramatic slide and then the sopranos came in confidently with a nice standout part. Again, the VP was excellent in this song. It was a great way to end their set.
Next up was the host group of this quarterfinal, University of Florida's co-ed No Southern Accent. All wearing red sneakers, NSA began with "Time" by Hanz Zimmer before transitioning into a medley of Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive/Too Close." When the group breathed in loudly in unison and held it for four full seconds (yes, I went back and counted), I was completely on the edge of my seat. The solo was less effective in the chorus than in the verses, despite the strong background vocals. Another moment that almost had me out of my seat in the mezzanine was when soloist CJ Wittus literally jumped out from the formation with a deafening scream. The "Too Close" part of the medley was weaker for me than "Radioactive," but overall a fantastic way to start their set.
NSA's second song was Evanescence's "Bring Me To Life" with soloist Alissa Kotranza. She did a beautiful job on an exceedingly difficult song. I loved how the group backed up the soloist during the chorus with the same words instead of a cappella oohs and ahs. The rap was very intimidating and could have been slightly less jarring. Consistently in their set I felt as though the vocal percussion was too intense, and in this case it took away from the solo. Overall, a very powerful middle song with several distracting moments.
NSA closed with "All These Things That I've Done" by The Killers; interestingly, the soloist Elliott Van Mitchell for this piece did the VP in the other two. I loved the build up in the chorus of the song, but there were some blend issues. It was an over-the-top performance with an amazing soprano part near the end as well. Something I was continually impressed by was the commitment of every single member to each precise moment. The choreography and staging was outstanding.
Third to perform was the second group from UF, all-male The Staff, and they began with an arrangement of "Misty Mountains/Some Nights/It's Time" by Howard Shore, Fun., and Imagine Dragons respectively. The mash-up was incredibly moving and beautiful, and I loved the use of counter-tenor parts. Most impressive was the stand-out bass in the beginning, Jaewon Jang. These are three songs I don't think I would ever put together, but it was fantastic. Especially loved the stomp and clap portion in "It's Time."
The second number began with a nice feature of the vocal percussionist and a great slide into the opening chords of "Lights" by Ellie Goulding. It was an unexpectedly lower solo, especially when considering Ellie Goulding's airy soprano, but Jeffrey Marsar had some nice falsetto moments in the second verse. The Staff executed a killer key change from another slide that I didn't see coming at all. There was good dynamic contrast throughout this piece.
Finally, The Staff closed with "No Light No Light" by Florence and the Machine. It was a distinct change from the last high-energy song, but the beat in the chorus pulled it through. I looked for the same drive and movement in this song; it lacked the same energy. Nonetheless, soloist Chris VanDenmark gave a performance that Flo would be proud of, hitting those high notes with ease. This set was one of the best performances from The Staff that I have seen to date.
Fourth in the lineup was the first group from the University of Central Florida, KeyHarmony. They stood out as the first all-female group of the night and began with "Lights" by Ellie Goulding. No one wants to be the group to do a repeat song, but it was an entirely different version with a nice soprano solo that closely matched the original. I could have used more background vocals in the chorus, but there was a strong bass consistently. KeyHarmony was very effective in the use of a bass mic, which tends to be difficult for a girl group. It was good to hear the group back the soloist up on the "calling, calling" part of the chorus and there was a solid breakdown as well.
KeyHarmony changed the pace with "Pretty Handsome Awkward" by The Used with the soloist really working the audience. There were very effective yells in the second verse that didn't distract from the song as a whole. The group seemed very comfortable with this song and the movement was more natural. It seemed a bit repetitive and I would have liked some more variation in the different parts of the song.
The last piece--"Sigh No More" by Mumford and Sons--was absolutely my favorite from their set. The trio featured for the entire song was beautiful and completely together. Again, I have to give major props to the bass for holding down her part, one alto to another. This emotional piece pulled in the audience with a very pure solo from Sarah Zorrilla. I was impressed by the trio and the group's dynamics, particularly at the very end. It was a beautiful way for KeyHarmony to finish.
University of Central Florida's co-ed group Gemini Blvd. was the last to go on before intermission, and they made their moment count. They began with an almost choral version of "Shark in the Water" by V V Brown, but picked it up by the first verse. The background vocals were so full and completely blended. Gemini Blvd. took the choreography in a different direction than we had seen all night by incorporating small movements in unison. Soloist Stephanie Trull gave a stunning performance with some great moments to show off her range.
Gemini Blvd. transitioned smoothly into a mash-up of "Skinny Love/Almost Lover" by Bon Iver and A Fine Frenzy, mash-up made in indie heaven. I loved that vocal percussionist Jeff Ting included some different sounds in the beginning to break up the vocals. The addition of the male soloist gave the choruses a nice pull between the two soloists. The group truly came together in the bridge, one of my favorite parts. I had goosebumps for much of the song and was impressed by the purity of the soloist and the group as a whole.
The co-ed group ended their set with an excellent reboot of "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Whitney Huston mixed with "We Found Love." Soloist Shayna Kurland did a fabulous job on the key change--wow. This was the first time I got to see Gemini Blvd. really jam out to their music and loosen up. The bass really worked it in this song as well. I was most impressed by how they actually didn't need to do any serious movement or formation changes in their set; they didn't need any gimmicks at all, just music. It was incredible to hear a group with that kind of vocal talent.
Coming back from intermission, we were introduced to Florida State University's, all-male Reverb. I had high expectations for this group, since they won last year when I reviewed, and they didn't disappoint. They showed all of their personality with "This Is How We Do It" by Montell Jordan featuring "Bad" by Michael Jackson. Soloist Reggie Williams's voice had every girl in the audience melting. I loved the feature of the bass line in this song during the "Bad" section and the groovy choreography of the whole piece. Those boys can work their falsetto--incredible. There was personality and energy absolutely bursting from every member.
Reverb next took radio pop song "Give Your Heart A Break" by Demi Lovato and turned it into a slower, jazzy piece. I could see the artistic qualities in the arrangement, yet this song wasn't my favorite. The song improved as it went along, but there were beautiful moments where the chords locked perfectly. This arrangement proved that Reverb is not afraid to take risks, and that they are definitely not going to settle for a typical remake of a Top 40 song. The soloist really let loose at the end of the piece with some excellent riffing.
The final song in Reverb's set began with soloist Eric Glaze on his own in "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley which became "Crazy in Love" by Beyoncé. I loved that the group and the soloist locked eyes as they were switching songs, as if they were surprising the other with the new song. The audience loved the Beyoncé-esque choreography from the guys. The final riffing by the soloist was out of control--it was that good. You know how we're told at least one person in the audience is looking at you at any time? Well each member of Reverb gave everything the entire time (I checked). I'm constantly impressed with their commitment to performance in addition to stellar vocals. They are definitely a force to be reckoned with.
The biggest surprise of the night was the addition of the Loyola Belles to the lineup of all Florida groups. The Belles drove all the way from Maryland and began the set with a "Paris" medley by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and Trick Daddy feat. Lil Jon and Twista. The Grace Potter soloist did a great job with a difficult solo and I really enjoyed the rhythmic background vocals. I wish this group fully committed to the performance aspect of their set. The second song worked fairly well for the background girls, but I was confused by the rap in a higher register. All in all, a nice start to the set from the Belles.
The Belles slowed it down with "At Last" by the great Etta James. This song was another example of a nice solo and sound from the group but not enough energy in the performance. This song is so often performed by soloists, bands and groups that it has to be a particularly impressive arrangement to make it truly work (similar to everything by Coldplay or Lady Gaga in a cappella). There were some rhythm issues near the end, but the soloist brought it home.
To close, the Belles sang "As Long As You Love Me" by both Justin Bieber and Backstreet Boys. This was a mash-up just waiting to happen, but I was a bit disappointed in the actualization. The choreography in this song is a perfect example of how difficult it is for a girl group to be goofy on stage. For whatever reason, we ladies just can't do it like the all-guy groups can without being awkward. In general, I would have liked to have heard some more of the background vocals. Overall, the Belles have the building blocks for future ICCA performances, but they just need to amp up their performance quality to make it work next time.
The last group of the night was UCF's second all-female group So Noted. They started a space themed set with "E.T." by Katy Perry. I enjoyed the higher harmony to the solo in the verses. It's pretty difficult to replicate anything Katy Perry does., but the soloist belted those higher notes like it was easy. There was a little moment of dubstep in the middle, which worked well. It was a great start to their set and I was impressed by how much the group had grown from last year.
So Noted transitioned into "Starlight" by Muse. The very beginning was a little rough for me, but the girls worked their way into. The background vocals had the chance to stand out during the chorus and it was nicely blended. This had the strongest background vocals of the entire set for the girls. I enjoyed the breakdown of this song; it was well-executed by all parts.
For the final piece of their set, So Noted brought us all back to age 11 with a mash-up of "Outer Space Girl/Supernova Girl" by the Spice Girls and Prota Zoa (from Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century!). Every girl in the audience was singing along "zoom zoom zoom" with soloist Leah Williams in the second half of the mash-up. This was a fun song where the girls got to really groove instead of having a lot of choreography, but the background vocals were lost as a result. Overall, it was a great way to end the competition with the late 90s/early 2000s nostalgia.
What an amazing competition! Having reviewed this same quarterfinal last year, I was a bit apprehensive about seeing the same groups again, but each group really brought something new and impressive this year. The judges' deliberation seemed to take longer this year, but they had such a difficult decision to make. I know I agonized over my own rankings and changed my predictions several times. My top three places ended up being spot-on. I knew that Reverb and Gemini Blvd. were going to fight it out over that top spot, and then I couldn't decide between my two UF groups for the third spot. I ended up deciding on No Southern Accent as third because they had a spectacular performance, Gemini Blvd. as second because of their immense vocal strength, and Reverb as the top place because they seemed to be the entire package. Congratulations to all the groups on an incredible competition!

University of Birmingham
University of Birmingham (informally Birmingham University) is a public research university located in Edgbaston, Birmingham, United Kingdom. It received its royal charter in 1900 as a successor to Queen's College, Birmingham (founded in 1828 as the Birmingham School of Medicine and Surgery) and Mason Science College (established in 1875 by Sir Josiah Mason), making it the first English civic or 'red brick' university to receive its own royal charter. It is a founding member of both the Russell Group of British research universities and the international network of research universities, Universitas 21.
The university was ranked 15th in the UK and 76th in the world in the QS World University Rankings for 2015-16.
Libraries and collections
Birmingham University Library Services operates nine site libraries. They are the: Barber Fine Art Library, Barber Music Library, Barnes Library, Education Library, Harding Law Library, Main Library, Orchard Learning Resource Centre, Ronald Cohen Dental Library, and the Shakespeare Institute Library.
The Shakespeare Institute's library is a major United Kingdom resource for the study of English Renaissance literature.
The Cadbury Research Library is home to the University of Birmingham's historic collections of rare books, manuscripts, archives, photographs and associated artefacts. The collections, which have been built up over a period of 120 years consist of over 200, 000 rare printed books including significant incunabula, as well as over 4 million unique archive and manuscript collections. The Cadbury Research Library is responsible for directly supporting the University's research, learning and teaching agenda, along with supporting the national and international research community.
The Cadbury Research Library contains the Chamberlain collection of papers from Neville Chamberlain, Joseph Chamberlain and Austen Chamberlain, the Avon Papers belonging to Anthony Eden with material on the Suez Crisis, the Cadbury Papers relating to the Cadbury firm from 1900 to 1960, the Mingana Collection of Middle Eastern Manuscripts of Alphonse Mingana, the Noël Coward Collection, the papers of Edward Elgar, Oswald Mosley, and David Lodge, and the records of the English YMCA and of the Church Missionary Society. The Cadbury Research Library has recently taken in the complete archive of UK Save the Children. The Library holds important first editions such as De Humani Corporis (1543) by Versalius, the Complete Works (1616) of Ben Jonson, two copies of The Temple of Flora (1799-1807) by Robert Thornton and comprehensive collections of the works of Joseph Priestley and D H Lawrence as well as many other significant works.
In 2015, a Quranic manuscript in the Mingana Collection was identified as one of the oldest to have survived, having been written between 568 and 645.
Birmingham Fellows
The Birmingham Fellowship scheme was launched in 2011. The scheme encourages high potential early career researchers to establish themselves as rounded academics and continue pursuing their research interests. This scheme was the first of its kind, and has since been emulated in several other Russell Group universities across the UK. Since 2014, the scheme has been divided into Birmingham Research Fellowships and Birmingham Teaching Fellowships. Birmingham Fellows are appointed to permanent academic posts (with two or three year probation periods), with five years protected time to develop their research. Birmingham Fellows are usually recruited at a lecturer or senior lecturer level.
In the first period of the fellowship, emphasis is placed on the research aspect, publishing high quality academic outputs, developing a trajectory for their work and gaining external funding. However, development of teaching skills is encouraged. Teaching and supervisory responsibilities, as well as administrative duties, then steadily increase to a normal lecturer's load in the Fellow's respective discipline by the fifth year of the fellowship. Birmingham Fellows are not expected to carry out academic administration during their term as Fellows, but will do once their posts turn into lectureships ('three-legged contract'). When accepted into the Birmingham Research Fellowship, Fellows receive a start-up package to develop or continue their research projects, an academic mentor and support for both research and teaching. All fellows are said to become part of the Birmingham Fellows Cohort, which provides them a University-wide network and an additional source of support and mentoring

Automotive giants including Aston Martin, Nissan, Renault, Peugeot and Toyota gathered at Hensol Castle in the Vale of Glamorgan today to show Wales' readiness to maximise on the huge opportunities presented by electric and hydrogen vehicles at the country's first ever Low Carbon Intelligent Mobility conference.
Aston Martin Vehicle Line Director Andy Haslam was there to talk about the company's new electric vehicles, the Rapide E luxury saloon which will begin manufacturing in nearby St. Athan in the spring, and the Lagonda EV in the coming years. He was joined by Carl Bayliss, Head of Nissan EV, Tony Walker, Managing Director Toyota Motor Europe, and Welsh Government Economy Secretary Ken Skates who talked about the Clean Air Plan for Wales, and reminded delegates that the hydrogen fuel cell was actually invented in Swansea in the 19th century by Welshman William Grove.
Aston Martin's Andy Haslam said: "At Aston Martin we understand emerging technologies and want to maintain our position at the cutting edge of the industry. We are undertaking the most ambitious growth plan of any luxury car manufacturer ever, creating the most accomplished automotive art in the world, based on craftsmanship and artistry. We're embarking on a new era of electric in Wales, never losing sight of our customers, and who they are likely to be in the future."
The event recognised Welsh innovation with an appearance by the distinctive gullwing Riversimple Rasa, built in Powys, a pioneering hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicle; and news of Cardiff-based Hemmels' production of the world's first electric Mercedes-Benz Pagoda, a beautifully crafted rebuild of one of the world's most desirable classic cars, which goes into production next summer.
Hemmels Director Iain Wood said: "We make beautiful classic cars in Wales, and so we want to make beautiful electric vehicles that are sustainable and desirable to future generations."
Economy Secretary Ken Skates said: "Skills, innovation and sustainability are all things I, as Economy Secretary, have put front and centre of my economic policy over recent years, most explicitly in last year's Economic Action Plan.
"It's this focus, alongside the expertise and vision of companies such as Riversimple, Calsonic and Hemmels here in Wales which means we are in a fantastic position to maximise on the enormous opportunities presented by low carbon vehicles, which are unquestionably the future of travel."
The event was chaired by motoring presenter and journalist and passionate advocate of electric vehicles Quentin Willson, and saw Welsh Government outline its policies to support decarbonisation, focussing on the automotive supply chain changes and opportunities as cars go from the internal combustion engine to electric and hydrogen power sources.

When's 4K not 4K and when are you kinda pleased that it isn't? Allow us to explain: Epson has unveiled its new 4K PRO-UHD projector range, consisting of the EH-TW8400, EH-TW9400 and EH-TW9400W all with a 3LCD design and HDR that produce stunning pictures (we had a preview in the last week of March and it's impressive).
'4K PRO-UHD' is an umbrella term Epson has coined that comprises a suite of technologies that power their new family of projectors. The technology is a philosophical push to give home theatre installers and enthusiasts the best image without sacrificing brightness, all at an affordable price point. So, since you ask (and to speak to our opening line) – 4K PRO-UHD isn't native 4K Epson (the 4K PRO-UHD range uses a new version of Epson's take on pixel shifting technology). Instead the new range deploys a combination of dedicated hardware processors that allows the projectors to produce a knock-out image – the equal of many a pricier 4K native projector – for a starting price of $3999. The key reason is brightness. A 4K 3LCD panel takes a lot of grunt to get the equivalent brightness of an HD panel. Bulking up the light source to compensate is comparatively expensive. Epson should know, because it has a range of 4K native large-format commercial projectors – Epson has the 4K technology, it has the lenses, it's done the R&D, and it's made the decision in the home theatre market that it'll invest in 4K PRO-UHD.
The key technology underpinning 4K PRO-UHD is the pixel shifting, which has moved from being a software derived jiggle to now residing in the hardware. The new pixel shifting tech now deliver an even brighter, higher quality, HDR experience that also allows the projectors to be used outside of a dedicated home theatre room. All of these quality improvements have come as a result of Epson's decision to move away from software processing within the projectors to now using three, dedicated, high-powered hardware processors. Here each processor is solely dedicated to a key task – one for image processing, one for resolution enhancement and one for HDR processing. This allows the projector to always perform to the very best of its ability, without sharing resources or processing power and without interruption to signal or image quality. In turn these stunning new projectors are able to produce images with incredible colour, brightness, clarity, accuracy and vibrancy that need to be seen to be believed.
Epson 4K PRO-UHD projectors boast an exceptionally wide colour gamut, HDR (High Dynamic Range) and 100% balanced colour brightness. The range was specifically designed so that movies can be shown the way they were meant to be seen — on the big screen, with no rainbow effect creating an exceptionally immersive viewing experience.

Texas unemployment rate reaches a 42-year low
Texas' jobless rate in October dipped to 3.7 percent from 3.8 percent in September — the lowest level since the state started tracking unemployment data in 1976.
The Texas Workforce Commission on Friday said state employers added 32,300 worker to their payroll, marking the 28th consecutive month of job growth.
"These numbers highlight the strategic job creation efforts of our Texas employers, and provides our world-class workforce with career options in a variety of growing industries," TWC Chair Ruth R. Hughs said in a news release. "Texas is a state that always welcomes new employers and also supports our homegrown businesses, offering them the tools they need to succeed and build on our continued success as a global economic leader."

The national unemployment rate also was 3.7 percent, holding steady from September.
For Texas, the overall growth rate was 3.1 percent, with goods-producing industries growing at a brisk 6.6 percent.
Employers in the trade, transportation and utilities sector led the hiring trend with 8,900 positions added over the month. Other strong sectors included leisure and hospitality with 8,700 jobs, followed by education and health services with 5,100 new jobs.
Mining and logging, which takes in oil and gas jobs, added 4,300 workers; the construction industry grew by 1,500 positions.
According to the non-seasonally-adjusted state data, the Midland metropolitan statistical area had the lowest unemployment rate of 2.1 percent. The San Antonio-New Braunfels metro area came in at 3 percent.

Alsvid is a stakes winner at a mile, but that was almost four years ago. Saturday afternoon at Oaklawn, the multiple stakes-winning sprinter and millionaire will attempt to win at a mile again in the eighth race, a conditioned allowance/optional claimer.
Alsvid is a stakes winner at a mile, but that was almost four years ago. Saturday afternoon at Oaklawn, the multiple stakes-winning sprinter and millionaire will attempt to win at a mile again in the eighth race, a conditioned allowance/optional claimer.
Trainer Chris Hartman said the race could serve as a prep for the $400,000 Count Fleet Sprint Handicap (G3) April 10 at Oaklawn — a race Alsvid won last year — but also one to shake up the 7-year-old gelding, who has lost eight consecutive starts.
"He's done it before," Hartman said Thursday morning. "I always thought he would be a real good miler. I thought it might be a good time to try it. He's getting a little long in the tooth to stretch him out, but he's mature now."
As a 3-year-old in 2012, Alsvid won the $60,000 Prairie Meadows Mile Stakes at Prairie Meadows. He also ran in the $250,000 Iowa Derby (G3) and $150,000 Zia Park Derby in 2012 before developing into one of the country's top sprinters.
Alsvid recorded his biggest career victory in the $300,000 Count Fleet Sprint Handicap (G3) last April, then toppled reigning male sprint champion Work All Week in the $100,000 Aristides Stakes (G3) at Churchill Downs in his next start.
Alsvid hasn't won since, running 13th in the $1.5 million Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) Oct. 31 at Keeneland and third in the $100,000 Hot Springs Stakes March 5 at Oaklawn in his last start. Hartman said Alsvid is still possible to cut back in distance for the 6-furlong Count Fleet next month.
"But we need to get him back to his ways," Hartman said.
Alsvid is scheduled to break from post 3 Saturday under Oaklawn leading rider Ricardo Santana Jr. and carry 115 pounds.
Also entered are Recount, Paid Admission, Mal Guapo, Cougar Ridge, Ain't Got Time, Natchez and Rocket Time. Ain't Got Time and Cougar Ridge, who is entered for a $62,500 claiming tag, finished second and fifth, respectively, in the $100,000 Essex Handicap Feb. 13 at Oaklawn. The Essex is 1 1/16 miles.
Mal Guapo briefly held the 1 ¼-mile track record at Keeneland before it was smashed by Triple Crown winner American Pharoah in the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) Oct. 31.
Mile races at Oaklawn end at the sixteenth pole, which Hartman said could be an advantage for Alsvid.
"It's going to be a short lane," Hartman said. "Most likely he'll be in front leaving the turn. We'll see how it shakes out from there."
Probable post time for Saturday's eighth race, which has an $80,000 purse, is 4:38 p.m. (Central).
Dothraki Queen Update
Trainer Kenny McPeek said Thursday morning that Dothraki Queen remains "possible" for the $400,000 Fantasy Stakes (G3) for 3-year-old fillies April 9 at Oaklawn.
Unraced since finishing third in the $200,000 Golden Rod Stakes (G2) Nov. 28 at Churchill Downs, Dothraki Queen has had six published workouts at Oaklawn since mid-February, including a half-mile move in :48.60 Monday morning.
"She's just not quite ready yet," McPeek said. "I don't know if I'm going to be able to get a race in her here or not."
Dothraki Queen won her first two career starts, including the $200,000 Pocahontas Stakes (G2) Sept. 12 at Churchill Downs, before running third in the $2 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) Oct. 31 at Keeneland.
Bluegrass Bound
Trainer Ingrid Mason said Thursday morning that her multiple stakes-winning fillies, Sarah Sis and Marquee Miss, are being pointed for stakes races in Kentucky.
Mason said Marquee Miss will run in the $100,000 Bourbonette Oaks (G3) for 3-year-old fillies April 2 at Turfway Park. She Miss won Oaklawn's $100,000 Dixie Belle Stakes Jan. 15 and $100,000 Martha Washington Stakes Feb. 6 before being distanced in the $200,000 Honeybee Stakes (G3) March 12.
The Honeybee was run over an off track, which Marquee Miss doesn't handle, Mason said. Turfway has an all-weather surface. Mason had considered running Marquee Miss in the $400,000 Fantasy Stakes (G3) April 9 at Oaklawn.
"This way, I don't have to worry about the rain," Mason said with a laugh. "I think it's going to be much easier. I think the Fantasy is going to be real tough."
Mason said Sarah Sis is pointing for the $300,000 Madison Stakes (G1) April 9 at Keeneland. The 4-year-old filly will be cutting back to 7 furlongs after finishing fifth in Saturday's $350,000 Azeri Stakes (G2) at Oaklawn. The Azeri is 1 1/16 miles.
"I think she can go around two turns, a mile," Mason said. "I think a mile and a sixteenth is too far, depending on how much speed is in the race."
Sarah Sis won Oaklawn's the $150,000 Honeybee Stakes (G3) before closing her 3-year-old campaign with a victory in the $250,000 Raven Run Stakes (G2) Oct. 17 at Keeneland. The Raven Run was 7 furlongs, which Mason said she believes is the ideal distance for Sarah Sis.
Mason said Sarah Sis' year-end goal is the $1 million Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint (G1), a 7-furlong race, Nov. 5 at Santa Anita.
Finish Lines
Despite overnight rain, Oaklawn's racing surface was rated good for Thursday morning workouts. … Defending champion Trace Creek is pointing for the $100,000 Arkansas Breeders' Stakes (open division) April 1 at Oaklawn, trainer Will VanMeter said. … Wilbo, a sharp Jan. 17 allowance/optional claiming winner at Oaklawn, is receiving a "much-needed break" and won't run again at the meeting, trainer Chris Hartman said. Wilbo was nominated to the $100,000 Hot Springs Stakes for older sprinters March 5 at Oaklawn. … Jockey Alex Canchari, tied for sixth in the Oaklawn standings with 20 victories, said he will be based at his home track, Canterbury Park in suburban Minneapolis, after the Oaklawn meet ends April 16. …Grade 2 winner Spelling Again, who recorded a 5-furlong bullet work (1:00.40) Saturday morning at Oaklawn, is targeting the $300,000 Madison Stakes (G1) April 9 at Keeneland for her 2016 debut, trainer Brad Cox said. … Bridget's Big Luvy's victory last Thursday at Aqueduct means all eight starters from last year's $1 million Arkansas Derby (G1) at Oaklawn have at least one post-race victory. The runaway winner, American Pharoah, went on to capture the Triple Crown.

South Carolina fans pay tribute to Tyler Hilinski during Alabama game
South Carolina fans paid tribute to the late brother of Gamecocks quarterback Ryan Hilinski during Saturday's game against Alabama.
Hilinski, a true freshman, made his second start of the season for the Gamecocks on Saturday. As the third quarter began, fans at Williams-Brice Stadium put up the No. 3 in unison as a tribute to Tyler Hilinski, who wore the number when he played quarterback at Washington State.

Tyler Hilinski committed suicide in January 2018 when he was a redshirt sophomore at Washington State. Since then, the Hilinski family has made it their mission to promote mental health awareness, including starting a nonprofit organization called "Hilinski's Hope." The family's story was featured on ESPN's "E:60."

In the lead-up to Saturday's game, an idea to raise three fingers in the air in honor of Tyler and in support of Ryan emerged. That's how the younger Hilinski paid tribute to his brother after throwing his first career touchdown pass last weekend against Charleston Southern.

The German manufacturer is targetting the industrial refrigeration with this product that can also be used in cascades.
TEKO's stand at ANUGA in Cologne, Germany.
TEKO's ammonia screw compressor, part of the 'Ammon' series of ammonia and suitable for industrial refrigeration installations, was introduced for the first time at the ANUGA Food Tec show in Cologne, Germany in March.
The Ammonia series, operating either with screw compressor from Bitzer or Mayekawa, or piston compressors from Bitzer can also be used in cascade with CO2 racks.
"The system is also joined to a cascade system with CO2 for deep cooling", Nadine Neuberger, Head of Marketing at TEKO, told ammonia21.com. Joining a CO2 rack to the ammonia system can help lower the charge of ammonia used.
Charge of ammonia can also be lowered in other ways. "If this unit is used, for example, in a chiller with shell-and-tube condenser, the NH3 filling quantity may be 60 kg", Neuberger explained.
However, with bigger capacity systems the charge does go up. "If the unit is connected in a combined system with several individual compressor units on site and used, for example, for food cooling, the filling quantity of the entire system can sometimes quickly reach more than 4,000 kg", she said.
Training appeas as a key to increase the safety of installing these systems according to Matthias Bethke who has been a key account manager for the industrial refrigeration sector of TEKO's business since 2017.
The company currently offers training for CO2 and Bethke, told ammonia21.com at ANUGA, "I would like to see us do training in ammonia".

God called Lot out of Sodom before its destruction because he was the one righteous man in a very wicked city. (Genesis Ch. 19) But Lot and his family's lives were so bound up in that place, psychologically and materially, that extrication did not come without righteous payment, in the form of painful loss and humiliation. Many, if not most, believers today find themselves in the same position, enmeshed in a world gone over the edge.
The sky hasn't fallen, but the Bible says some will know when it's about to, and others won't (or won't want to know).
In Matthew Chapter 12, Jesus said:
39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.Earthquakes are notoriously unpredictable. In some cases, scientists have discovered — in hindsight — that clues to a quake were always there, and they were just looking in the wrong place. Regarding the last days, however, God's Word tells Christians where to look.
40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
The Apostle Paul warned that, before the return of Christ, there would be a great "falling away," (2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, KJV) or apostasy*. Contrast these words with the many contemporary claims of "revival" and the church growth movement. Rather, the true Body of Christ is being called unto the Lord, and this is causing rifts everywhere.
The spiritual struggles are visible at all levels, from the day-to-day lives of Christian men and women — lives assaulted, frustrated, and often compromised by sensuality, worldliness,and doctrinal dissolution — to the fomenting division between cultural, humanist Christians and the much smaller group of Bible-believing ones. Those rising tensions in Christian circles parallel the tensions of the world at large, where a very rich, oblivious, and spiritually bereft West finds itself in a desperate entanglement with a galvanized and motivated East.
We find ourselves in troubled times. Jesus said that, "in a time of testing," those of nominal faith will fall away (Luke 8:13) — the separating of the wheat and the tares.
In his current series on the principal figures in the Book of Judges, Pastor David Legge of the Iron Hall Assembly in Belfast, Northern Ireland, presents Samson as emblematic of the modern lukewarm Christian. (You can read or listen to the sermon here.) This type of Christian — or stage in a believer's life — is characterized by a focus on God through the corrupting and narcissistic prism of the self, "through a glass darkly." (1 Corinthians 13:12)
God disciplines the men and women who truly belong to Him (see Proverbs 3:11-12). Pastor Legge says, "When God...isn't permitted to rule in our lives, He overrules and He works His will out regardless of our decisions." The formidably blessed Samson pursued the path of self-interest and worldliness so far, it took imprisonment and the loss of his eyes to set him back on the right path. Lot and Samson are examples of God's own who suffer the consequences of getting too close to this world.
Likewise, for some Christians today, authentic separation results in very dramatic, life-or-death situations, such as the persecution of believers in places like Afghanistan and China. (The recent case of Abdul Rahman is a well-publicized example.). In the West, where issues of morality and doctrine and lifestyle trigger division, the choices are deceptively subtler. Western Christians, without the threat of persecution or death hanging over them, are deceived into thinking the world is not so bad after all.
Whatever circumstances believers find themselves in, separation from this world is a continuous learning process not without some sacrifice, pain, or loss. A time of testing finds real believers turning to and seeking solace in the blessed hope of our Lord's imminent return. Conversely, it also finds the the nominal church seeking hope through a vain embrace of the world.
*One major prophetic forerunner being the establishment of the Catholic Church. Many centuries later, today's apostasy (ecumenical, one world religion) is similarly disguised in sheep's clothing.

This isn't the most in-depth analysis you're going to find anywhere on the state of North Carolina basketball, but it is an e-mail response to my Dad after he had asked if I had seen the UNC/Florida State game on Wednesday night.
Just a stream of consciousness, but a telling one, I think.
I think.
Anyway, here it is:
UNC is definitely not winning it all. Winning that game meant nothing; they still did all the things wrong that they always do when they lose games. Ty Lawson was great — offensively. He could care less on defense, and yet another guard who he was first charged with defending — this time it was Toney Douglas — went off for 32 points. And FSU was another team with a big frontcourt, which made Tyler Hansbrough look normal and showed how soft Deon Thompson is if he's challenged even a little bit.
What I hate the most is that they get so panicked. They fall behind by five points and try to go ahead by five on the same possession. There's no poise whatsoever, so they dribble around and jack up 3s. Danny Green and Wayne Ellington are great shooters, but they rely on that too much because they get away with it, and if one of them is off, look out. Without Green last night in the first half, UNC gets blown out of the building.
They are good offensively when they dribble penetrate, even if it's only to the foul line extended. That was the difference in the two first halves. In the first 12 minutes, Lawson, Ellington and Green did nothing to penetrate the FSU defense, and they were shooting 26 percent and were down by nine as a result. The last 8 minutes of the half was entirely different — Lawson slicing the lane, and Green and Ellington able to contribute in running the offense — and they went on a huge run and led by 11 at half.
After that, though, they wilted under defensive pressure and looked completely lost. They played streetball.
I heard Roy on the way home last night, and he talked about their losses coming when they shot 28 and 26 percent in the second halves of those games. Well, yeah, but I don't care. WHY did they shoot 26 percent? That's the correctable problem. They weren't just off, or something. They were DEFENDED into shooting 26 percent, and didn't make adjustments to try to fix it.
I liked that Roy thought outside of the box and had Hansbrough defend Douglas at the end of the game on the final two possessions. That was really good and paid off. Great adjustment. The other 39 minutes — save the last 7 or 8 of the first half — were just a nightmare.
To be fair, without Marcus Ginyard and Tyler Zeller, this is a different UNC team than everybody — including Roy — figured it would be at the start of the season. That said, they should be better than they've been in the last two weeks. It looks like regression since the tip to the season, and that's not good.
As for Wake and Duke, a couple of things. Wake is going to be darn scary come March. Jeff Teague is a monster wing player and that frontcourt is just going to get better over the next two months. If Dino Gaudio can coach them, look out. I imagine they'll get over the last 5-minute jitters they had last night.
And Duke, well, you can beat them the same way teams have beaten them the last couple of years — by running and rebounding. When the Deacs were running and gunning, Duke looked the worst it has looked all year. Completely lost, and suckered into trying to run, too. Only in the last 5 minutes were they able to spread the floor and re-dictate tempo, and that's when they made their run. And Gerald Henderson is their best player, far and away. If the Devils win it all, it will be because Henderson is the key player and the rest of the team plays off him, including Kyle Singler. He's a better complemetary player. Henderson is a star with guts.
I know that's probably a lot more than you wanted, but those were my thoughts from two pretty incredible games, but for very different reasons. As far as I'm concerned, UNC lost again last night.

The benefit that the herb Euphrasia gives to snorers with palatal flutter has been well established over the past 20 years. The astringent properties of this herb tighten the tissue of the soft palate and lining of the nose, improving nasal breathing, and reducing the vibrating effects of air turbulence during inspiration.
The British Snoring Association have now developed a Double Strength version of Rhynil for "heavy duty" snorers who need even more tissue tightening than the standard Rhynil provides.
Rhynil contains 35ml. The bottle dispenses approximately 350 sprays, enough for 4 weeks' treatment.

text: NEWS Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger Talks Solo Album, 'Domination 2.0' 4/1/2009 by Gary Graff FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger Talks Solo Album, 'Domination 2.0' Chief Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger says her long-awaited solo album "may come more sooner than later," but after two years of projected release dates and delays she's not about to set one now. "I think it'll just come out when it wants to come out, on its own," Scherzinger tells Billboard.com. "I'm still working on my album, and I'm very excited. I'm a relentless perfectionist. I get one chance to put out a first (solo) album, so when the right time comes I will put it out." Scherzinger has been working on the album, tentatively titled "My Name is Nicole," since 2006. She's released several singles -- "Whatever U Like," "Baby Love," "Puakenikeni" and "Supervillian" -- while several of the other songs considered for the project turned up on the Dolls' 2008 released "Doll Domination." The current incarnation of the album, she says, "is just in the works and in talks and in the writing process. I haven't started recording yet." She hopes to hit the studio in the summer, after the Dolls finish their run opening for Britney Spears and then tour Europe again. "I'll be excited to get back with old friends -- will.i.am., Timbaland," says Scherzinger. She also plans to work with good pal Lady Gaga and hopes to continue a new association with Academy Award-winning Indian composer A.R. Rahman, who collaborated with Scherzinger and the Dolls on an English version of his "Slumdog Millionaire" track "Jai Ho!," now subtitled "You Are My Destiny," which peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. "I was really happy to...be part of 'Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)' because that kind of was a foreshadowing of what's coming from me in the future," Scherzinger explains. "I'm embarking on a lot of new territory and trying different directions." "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" will appear on "Doll Domination 2.0," which comes out April 14. The new version of the set also includes "Top of the World," the Dolls' theme song for the MTV series "The City," a dance remix of the ballad "Hush Hush" that samples in Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" and a new song called "Painted Windows." Scherzinger acknowledges that "it's a new life, a new push for ('Doll Domination')," which has been a commercial disappointment since its September release, selling less than 400,000 copies so far in the U.S. "In this industry these days, that's what we're trying to do, always put new music out there and get people to pay attention. So this is a way for people to get new songs of ours and for people who haven't picked up 'Doll Domination' to get another spin of our music." FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME

With no clarity on when the regular season might start, the San Francisco Giants closed their major and minor league facilities in Scottsdale, Ariz. on Thursday.
After Major League Baseball announced the 2020 season will be delayed until at least the middle of May due to the spread of the novel coronavirus, Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said the organization made the decision to shutter its complexes in Scottsdale.
There are no known positive tests among major league players or coaches to date, but two New York Yankees minor league players have tested positive for COVID-19. Zaidi said no one in the Giants organization has shown symptoms that would require a test.
"We're continuing to monitor not just potential symptoms of people that were in camp, but also people that might have come through our camp," Zaidi said in a conference call with reporters on Thursday.
Zaidi said a handful of major league players had spent the last week working out at the team's Scottsdale Stadium complex while a larger number of minor leaguers spent time at the team's Indian School complex, but executives felt it was no longer realistic to keep the complexes operating even while players and coaches adhered to social distancing practices.
The Giants have also temporarily discouraged players from working out in public facilities and are telling them to instead stay at home.
"Even going out to public cages and workout facilities is not something that we would recommend right now," Zaidi said.
The extended hiatus will eventually require teams to hold workouts akin to a second spring training that will allow players, particularly pitchers, to properly prepare for the start of the 2020 season.
"Players are going to start at the same point or maybe even behind where they are when they show up for spring training," Zaidi said.
MLB announced Thursday that minor league players would receive a lump sum from their respective organizations "equal to the allowances that would have been paid through April 8," which is when minor league camp was originally scheduled to end.
Zaidi said the Giants will take their support of minor league players a step further and pay the remaining balances on rents or leases owed through the first week of April. The Giants' top baseball executive also said that while most players are able to travel home, about 15-to-20 minor leaguers –many from Venezuela– are unable to do so and will have temporary housing provided for them in Arizona.
Like the 29 other franchises, the Giants are awaiting word from MLB and the Players' Association on how to proceed with regard to a number of labor issues such as paying major and minor leaguers during the season and how to handle opt-out clauses in contracts for veterans who agreed to minor league deals this offseason.
A number of players in camp including pitchers Trevor Cahill, Tyson Ross and Jerry Blevins and position players such as Yolmer Sánchez and Billy Hamilton are candidates to make the Giants' Opening Day roster and most, if not all, have opt-out clauses in their contracts that would allow them to pursue other opportunities if they did not break camp with the major league team.
Zaidi said the Giants have yet to receive clarity on the matter and until told otherwise, will move forward as if they must honor the original opt-out dates, which could begin as soon as Friday. Barring an immediate decision from MLB that would unilaterally push back opt-out dates, the Giants could have a flurry of roster moves in the coming days as they scramble to clear 40-man roster space.
As the Giants await more guidance from major league baseball, members of the coaching and training staff will be expected to reach out to players for updates.
The team's scouts remain in limbo. Zaidi said the Giants pulled scouts off the road last Thursday and they are determining ways they can best help the organization during an uncertain time.

Hey all,
This has been posted in the Facebook group, and several other discords, but wanted to place it here as well for those lurking about:
We're planning on running on a horde PVP server. I'll announce the server on whichever day the server names are announced. Based on interest, we may raid, but the most important thing is that we end up on the same server to level, group, pvp, etc. together. If we don't have a strong enough showing for a core raid group, people that are interested will obviously be free to join whichever raid guild fits their schedule. I'm sure there will be plenty of guilds on whichever server we choose.
Hope to see a lot of you back around!

Title: Finding temporal patterns using algebraic fingerprints
(Submitted on 20 Jan 2020 (this version), latest version 25 Jan 2020 (v2))
Abstract: In this paper we study a family of pattern-detection problems in vertex-colored temporal graphs. In particular, given a vertex-colored temporal graph and a multi-set of colors as a query, we search for temporal paths in the graph that contain the colors specified in the query. These types of problems have several interesting applications, for example, recommending tours for tourists, or searching for abnormal behavior in a network of financial transactions.
For the family of pattern-detection problems we define, we establish complexity results and design an algebraic-algorithmic framework based on constrained multilinear sieving. We demonstrate that our solution can scale to massive graphs with up to hundred million edges, despite the problems being NP-hard. Our implementation, which is publicly available, exhibits practical edge-linear scalability and highly optimized. For example, in a real-world graph dataset with more than six million edges and a multi-set query with ten colors, we can extract an optimal solution in less than eight minutes on a haswell desktop with four cores.

i'm justarting out with OOP with Java and i'm looking for a bit of help with a bit of code as i can't quite work out why it wont work as i'm still learning.
Here's what im being asked to do
write a public method called requestPositionsAndMove() which takes no arguments and returns no value. The method should request a use to enter a number for the position of startFrog using a dialogue box with the appropriate text. It should then do the same for the position of stopFrog. In each case it should assume that the user enters an integer, but if it is outside the range 1 to 11 inclusive a message informing the user that the positions must be in the range 1 to 11 inclusive should be displayed in a dialogue box and te request to re enter a number repeated. This should continue for as long as the user enters a number that is out of range. You should assume that the user does not press the cancel button. The method should then position startFrog and stopFrog according to the numbers entered or use a dialogue box to indicate an error has occurred and that this error is because the start and stop positions are the same.
Here is what i have so far. The code works a bit but not as it should;
public void requestPositionsAndMove()
String input;
int startpos = Integer.parseInt(OUDialog.request("Enter a start number between 1 & 11"));
int stoppos = Integer.parseInt(OUDialog.request("Enter a stop number between 1 & 11"));
if (startpos >11)
OUDialog.alert("The start number entered is not between 1 & 11 ");
OUDialog.request("Enter a start Number between 1 & 11");
if (stoppos >11)
OUDialog.alert("The stop number entered is not between 1 & 11 ");
OUDialog.request("Enter a stop Number between 1 & 11");
if (startpos==stoppos)
OUDialog.alert("An error has occurred as your start and stop positions are the same");
if ((startpos >=1) && (startpos <=11))
if ((stoppos >=1) && (stoppos <=11))
any help would be appreciated as i'm keen to learn but it's a bit of a struggle!

OISTs University President, Jonathan Dorphan, says most of the applicants have come from outside Okinawa, but says hes pleased there have been applicants from within the prefecture, as well. The latest 23 positions bring to 50 the number of teaching positions being filled. The first 27 teachers were hired earlier.
We are so happy there were so many people wanting teacher jobs, says Dorphan. Better yet is that world class people are taking time to look at this university. He made the comments at the OIST 11th Board of Governors Meeting and 4th Meeting of Establishing Members at the school campus in Onna Village. Dr. Sydney Brenner, the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology chairman, led the two-day conference.
