Cal Topples No. 25 UCLA 4-2

LOS ANGELES – The California men's tennis team posted its biggest win of the dual-match season in a 4-2 victory over 25th-ranked UCLA on Saturday at the Los Angeles Tennis Center. Fourth-ranked Carl Emil Overbeck clinched the win with a three-setter at court-one singles to keep the Golden Bears unbeaten at 5-0.

The Bruins have now lost 3 of their last 4 contests against the Bears.

In a taut first half of Saturday's contest, the teams split the first two doubles matches. Cal's 84th-ranked Alex Chang and Mikey Wright fell to Spencer Johnson and Emon van Loben Sels 6-4 on court one and then the Bears' 30th-ranked Theo Dean and Carl Emil Overbeck defeated the Bruins' Alexander Hoogmartens and Aadarsh Tripathi 6-3 on court two, leaving court three to decide the doubles point. The last court went to a tiebreaker with Derrick Chen and Timofey Stepanov edging Gianluca Ballotta and Giacomo Revelli 7-6(4) to give Cal a 1-0 lead.   The host opened singles with two wins to take a 2-1 lead over the Bears – before Cal rebounded when 110th-ranked Stepanov won 6-4, 6-4 over 93rd-ranked Revelli 6-4, 6-4 to tie matters 2-2. Cal freshman Bernardo Munk Mesa posted another straight-set win – 7-6(5), 6-4 over Ballotta – to lift the Bears to a 3-2 advantage.   Overbeck, a senior ranked fourth, rallied from dropping the first set on court one to best 50th-ranked Rudy Quan 6-7(5), 6-3, 6-4 and hand Cal the victory.   "No matter if the Bears were on the courts or on the bench, or if they were playing great, everyone contributed their heart and soul to the match," said Kris Kwinta, Cal's Peter Wright Director of Men's Tennis. "It was a true Bear performance in a fun collegiate match and fun collegiate atmosphere. To see the seniors coming through in tough moments in hostile territory, it was good to see. The guys stayed positive, upbeat and were aggressive in the right moments. Being greedy and resourceful even when you're not playing your best – that's what tennis is all about. I'm happy."

Litsy’s Jellicle Family Headcanons

A few disclaimers before we get into this:

These are based on my experience and opinions after seeing the tour in May 2021. I’ll include a cast list at the bottom if you’re interested. Most of these were approximately formed at the time (I recently reread my thoughts from immediately after seeing the show), but are being finalized and articulated over a year later, so some of it is a bit more recent.

Obviously I went into seeing the tour already with strong opinions and ideas from the 1998 film, so as long as those weren’t contradicted by the tour, or the tour inspired new ideas, I’ve often defaulted to my original ideas. So this is mostly to compare the two productions to each other in terms of my thoughts on the relationships between the characters.

You are not immune to backstage shenanigans.

I’m picking and choosing which “chorus cats” for featured performers are included in the canon.

I didn’t include romantic relationships unless they resulted in a child.

I’m gonna go through the 1998 headcanons pretty quickly because I’ve shared these before.

Feel free to ask questions if you have any, I’d love to share more thoughts and discuss!

1998 film family tree headcanons:

Old Deuteronomy and Grizabella are the parents of Macavity, Munkustrap, & Rum Tum Tugger. They are former mates; she left the tribe when their sons were still young. They still resent her for it by the time of the canon Jellicle Ball.

Macavity and Demeter are the parents of Plato. Mac and Dem were never mated.

Munkustrap and Demeter are the parents of Jemima. Munk and Dem are mates. Munk is also a father figure to Plato.

Coricopat & Tantomile are twins. They have no other family in the tribe.

Exotica Wallflower is Cassandra’s mother. She is also mates with George, but George is not Cassandra’s father.

Gus is Asparagus’s father.

Asparagus and Jellylorum are the parents of Tumblebrutus, Etcetera, & Pouncival, who are littermates. Asparagus and Jelly are mates.

Jennyanydots is the mother of Bombalurina.

Skimbleshanks’s deceased sister was the mother of Mungojerrie & Rumpleteazer, who are littermates. He took them in when their mother died, as their father is unknown.

Skimble and Jenny are the adoptive parents of Mistoffelees and biological parents of Electra. Skimble and Jenny are mates.

Jellicles with no blood/familial relationships in the tribe: Alonzo, Bustopher Jones, Victoria.

2021 tourverse/revivalverse family tree headcanons:

Old Deuteronomy is the father of Macavity, Rum Tum Tugger, and Munkustrap. They are half-siblings.

Macavity and Demeter are the parents of Plato. Mac and Dem were never mated.

Munkustrap and Demeter are the parents of Jemima. Munk and Dem are in a relationship but not mated.

Bombalurina is Demeter’s mother.

Coricopat & Tantomile are twins. They have no other family in the tribe.

Gus is Peter’s father.

Peter and Jellylorum are the parents of Tumblebrutus. Peter and Jelly are mates.

Skimbleshanks adopted Mungojerrie & Rumpleteazer, who are not littermates and whose biological parents are unknown.

Skimbleshanks & Jennyanydots are in an open, unmated relationship, and are the adoptive parents of Pouncival.

Jellicles with no blood/familial relationships in the tribe: Alonzo, Bustopher Jones, Cassandra, Grizabella, Mistoffelees, Victoria.

Preben Lerdorff Rye in Ordet (Carl Theodor Dreyer, 1955)

Cast: Henrik Malberg, Emil Hass Christensen, Birgitte Federspiel, Preben Lerdorff Rye, Cay Kristiansen, Ejner Federspiel, Gerda Nielsen, Sylvia Eckhausen, Ove Rud, Henry Skjaer. Screenplay: Carl Theodor Dreyer, based on a play by Kaj Munk Cinematography: Henning Bendtsen. Production design: Erik Aaes. Film editing: Edit Schlüssel. Music: Poul Schierbeck. 

As a non-believer, I find the story told by Ordet objectively preposterous, but it raises all the right questions about the nature of religious belief. Ordet, the kind of film you find yourself thinking about long after it's over, is about the varieties of religious faith, from the lack of it, embodied by Mikkel Borgen (Emil Hass Christensen), to the mad belief of Mikkel's brother Johannes (Preben Lerdorff Rye) that he is in fact Jesus Christ. Although Mikkel is a non-believer, his pregnant wife, Inger (Birgitte Federspiel), maintains a simple belief in the goodness of God and humankind. The head of the Borgen family, Morten (Henrik Malberg), regularly attends church, but it's a relatively liberal modern congregation, headed by a pastor (Ove Rud) who denies the possibility of miracles in a world in which God has established physical laws, although he doesn't have a ready answer when he's asked about the miracles in the Bible. When Morten's youngest son, Anders (Cay Kristiansen), falls in love with a young woman (Gerda Nielsen), her father, Peter (Ejner Federspiel), who belongs to a very conservative sect, forbids her to marry Anders. Then everyone's faith or lack of it is put to test when Inger goes into labor. The doctor (Henry Skjaer) thinks he has saved her life by aborting the fetus, but Inger dies. As she is lying in her coffin, Peter arrives to tell Morten that her death has made him realize his lack of charity and that Anders can marry his daughter. Then Inger is restored to life with the help of Johannes and the simple faith of her young daughter. Embracing Inger, Mikkel now proclaims that he is a believer. The conundrum of faith and evidence runs through the film.  For example, if the only thing that can restore one's faith is a miracle, can we really call that faith? What makes Ordet work -- in fact, what makes it a great film -- is that it poses such questions without attempting answers. It subverts all our expectations about what a serious-minded film about religion -- not the phony piety of Hollywood biblical epics -- should be. Dreyer and cinematographer Henning Bendtsen keep everything deceptively simple: Although the film takes place in only a few sparely decorated settings, the reliance on very long single takes and a slowly traveling camera has a documentary-like effect that engages a kind of conviction on the part of the audience that makes the shock of Inger's resurrection more unsettling. We don't usually expect to find our expectations about the way things are -- or the way movies should treat them -- so rudely and so provocatively exploded.

Beyond the Gold Rush: Barrick Gold's Ethical Predicament

by: Alejandro, Amank, Aubrey, Edwin, Shardul, Shruti

Company Overview Known for its diversified collection of gold and copper assets, Barrick Gold operates in 13 countries and owns 16 active sites. It was founded by Peter Munk who made it a global mining giant. Its production history is quite impressive while its market value is close to CAD$40 billion thus making it one of the kings of the game. Notwithstanding these achievements; however, Barrick Gold has encountered great moral, human rights and legal problems which has led to its bad name.

Ethical, Human Rights, and Legal Challenges

Though Barrick Gold professes to abide by lofty ethical principles, it has been engaged in various disputes over contraventions of human rights and degradation of the environment, especially within the bounds of Papua New Guinea and Tanzania. The corporation’s Porgera Joint Venture mine has faced challenges accusing it of employing too much violence towards surrounding populations and causing significant harm to nature. Furthermore, Barrick Gold has also been charged with polluting water bodies and invading animal territories. Such claims have raised doubts regarding its true commitment towards sustainable mining operations hence resulting into a host of lawsuits in addition to public investigations.

PESTEL Analysis

To gain a deeper understanding of the external factors influencing Barrick Gold's operations, a PESTEL analysis is essential:

Political: In nations where Barrick Gold operates, political instability has the potential to introduce unpredictability and impede the company’s operations. For instance, the company’s past encounter with challenges attributed to government regulations and taxation in Tanzania indicates that political landscapes should be navigated with care. Economic: Barrick Gold’s profitability can significantly be affected by economic factors such as exchange rate fluctuations and prices for commodities. Therefore, it is important for the company to mitigate the effects of economic risks in order to adapt well to changing market scenarios that will enable it survive at long-term. Social: Social issues are critical in Barrick Gold´s operations like community relations or indigenous rights. The firm must balance between its economic goals and the fulfillment of its social obligations with regard to respect as well as collaboration when dealing with local communities. Technological: Enhancements in technology can help an organization increase its effectiveness and productivity in the mining sector. Barrick Gold has invested more funds into technology to boost its profitability while minimizing adverse ecological effects. Nonetheless, the firm must be aware of such issues as job losses due to automation or other adverse effects on neighboring communities that may arise from new technologies. Environmental: The mining sector faces numerous challenges due to serious environmental problems including climate change, water shortage and extinction of species. To ensure that it survives for long; Barrick Gold should adopt sustainable methods so as reduce its impact on environment. Legal: The operations of Barrick Gold can be fundamentally affected by legal regulations on mining, environmental protection and human rights. For this reason, it needs to observe the law in order to avoid any legal proceedings and build a good image.

Conclusion Barrick Gold Corporation is in a difficult position trying to balance between making money and being responsible. They earned a good sum of money anyhow they also face different problems such as human rights abuses, ethical and lawful problems arisen from their operations. Another strategy which can help Barrick Gold in minimizing reputational risks and boosting trust among its partners is enhancing responsible corporate conduct through more engagement of stakeholders and sustainable development initiatives.

8 Scientific Studies That Prove Whiskey is Good for You

Mark Twain, the man praised as the dad of American writing, is associated with numerous things, yet maybe his most broadly utilized discourse is on a subject we hold precious — bourbon liquor. Twain broadly expressed the immortal words, "A lot of anything is terrible, however an excess of good whiskey is scarcely enough."

 Regardless of whether he knew it, Twain wasn't simply being saucy. As it works out, there are some genuine medical advantages to plentiful bourbon utilization:

Screw Disease, Drink Bourbon

With all of the nutrient enhancements or fix-all crude food counts calories, sorting out what's genuine and what isn't is hard. Indeed, ends up, bourbon works. Similar enemies of oxidants found in red wine that assist with battling the body's helplessness to disease are similar ones tracked down in bourbon — yet in more prominent sums. In 2005, Dr. Jim Swan gave a discourse at the EuroMedLab gathering in Glasgow discussing how there are extraordinary medical advantages to the people who drink single malt whiskies, as a result of its high ellagic corrosive substance (which is a similar enemy of oxidant in red wine).

 Bourbon is Perfect for Weight watchers

Losing that colder time of year weight or keeping that late spring body in shape is an amazing endeavor — particularly during top bar-b-que season. Fortunately, a solitary shot of bourbon has zero carbs and zero fat, and as per LiveStrong.com it's quite possibly of the best liquor one can consume while on a careful nutritional plan. In the event that you're attempting to cut calories without cutting tomfoolery, bourbon is really a great decision!

 Bourbon Can Assist with forestalling Strokes and Keep Your Heart Solid

As per a Harvard study — indeed, that Harvard — on the advantages of liquor utilization, a solitary beverage of bourbon daily might assist with forestalling ischemic strokes. The review starts with, "Most would agree that liquor is both a tonic and a toxic substance" which we believe is damn lovely. It likewise proceeds to say that the association between moderate — we rehash, moderate — liquor utilization and a brought down hazard of cardiovascular infection, including coronary failures, ischemic (clump caused) strokes, heart passing, fringe vascular illness, and demise from all potential cardiovascular causes is genuine. So tip one back, tap your heart, and thank the sky for one more day here on the planet. Cheers, Harvard!

 One to Six Glasses of Bourbon Seven days Can Assist with bringing down Chance of Dementia

Ain't it interesting? A beverage that will in general cause us to fail to remember what we did the prior night is only what could assist with saving our recollections later on down the line. As per a 2003 contextual investigation, grown-ups who drank 1 to 6 beverages seven days were close to half as prone to endure dementia than non-consumers and individuals who polished off 7 to 13 beverages per week. All we're contemplating is whether those 6 beverages should be scattered more than seven days, or on the other hand in the event that we can do them across the board sitting! Yee haw!

 Bourbon Can Quiet Your Nerves

We have hardly any familiarity with you, yet in the wake of a monotonous day at the workplace, in some cases the main thing that can quiet us down is a decent solid beverage. At long last, we have the science to back up our self-treatment. As per scientists at the peter Munk Cardiovascular Center in Toronto, Canada, one beverage of either red wine or liquor daily isn't only really great for the heart, yet additionally assists with blood course, oxygenation, and so on, and in this way, assists consistent your nerves and lower your heart with rating. Yet, hold it to one beverage, as the group likewise found that different can be, and we quote, "unpleasant." Yet we envision bunches of things are upsetting assuming you're a ninny.

Bourbon Will Assist with relieving Your Virus

The Hot Drink began in eighteenth century Scotland to make Scottish scotch taste less Something truly awful (clearly, the stuff was unpalatable). Scots would blend their "scotch" with home grown tea, honey, cinnamon, sugar, dates, and whatever else was helpful to veil the awful taste. It got on and, even after the Scots got everything in order and sorted scotch out, the Hot Drink stuck. Since bourbon expands the vessels and assists with dissemination, it fills in as a great decongestant — when not indulged, that is. Liquor is likewise great at killing microbes, and when combined with the tea and honey, it's really a boozy remedy.

 Bourbon Works With Your Diabetes

Diabetes is one of those sicknesses we wouldn't wish on anybody. Beside the conspicuous wellbeing suggestions, it likewise denies you of the relative multitude of things in this world that are delectable — pungent meats, desserts, broiled chicken skin, bacon, chocolate, all the nibble food sources that don't suck, and truly each and every thing we can imagine that we really appreciate eating. Fortunately, bourbon is the ideal beverage for diabetes. Zero sugars implies zero glucose, with the expansion of zero carbs and zero fat, as well! Normally, assuming that you experience the ill effects of diabetes, it's foolish to over-make it happen, however basically your drinking profession doesn't need to altogether end

Bourbon Helps in Assimilation

It doesn't take a researcher to let you know that bourbon is viewed as one of the most outstanding digestifs on the planet. What's a digestif? It's precisely very thing it seems like. Bourbon's higher liquor content animates the stomach's development of pepsin, the essential chemical in absorption that separates proteins into polypeptides — anything the screw those are. It likewise uplifts discharges in both the pancreas and nerve bladder.

The charitable foundation organizing a controversial debate featuring Steve Bannon is also one of the biggest funders of Canada’s network of right-wing think tanks.

The upcoming event, pitting the alt-right Donald Trump advisor and former head of the racist, far-right Breitbart.com against former George W. Bush advisor David Frum, is being organized by the Munk Debates, a “charitable initiative” of a shadowy group called the Aurea Foundation.

The Aurea Foundation was established in 2006 by Peter Munk, the billionaire former CEO of Barrick Gold – “the world’s largest gold mining company” – who passed away earlier this year.

According to its website, the Aurea Foundation “supports qualified institutions and affiliated individuals involved in the study and development of public policy,” giving “special attention” to issues like the “economic foundations of freedom” and “the strengthening of the free market system.”

In practice, the Aurea Foundation is one of the biggest funders sustaining a network of right-wing think tanks in Canada.

Toronto-based mining company Barrick Gold, whose abysmal record of human rights abuses and environmental degradation are documented at ProtestBarrick.net, is the largest gold mining company in the world. In April 2017, two women affected by Barrick’s Porgera Valley mine in Papua New Guinea visited Toronto to attend the company’s annual general meeting (agm). They came to speak directly to shareholders about sexual violence and murder in their community, to implicate mine employees and security, and to demand compensation and justice.

Everlyn Guape and Joycelyn Mandi of Porgera Women’s Rights Watch Association have been organizing around sexual violence perpetrated by Barrick as well as working in their communities to shift the legal and cultural barriers that prevent women from sharing their stories of sexual violence. Everlyn and Joycelyn were interviewed by Ellie Ade Kur (co-founder of Silence Is Violence, an organization that aims to radically alter the culture of institutional violence on university campuses across Canada), for the program #WeAreUofT on ciut 89.5fm in November of 2017. They invited Sakura Saunders of ProtestBarrick.net and Mining Injustice Solidarity Network and Catherine Coumans of MiningWatch Canada to join the conversation and help connect their experiences at home with the University of Toronto, Peter Munk, and Canadian politics.

After the interview, Joycelyn and Everlyn attended Barrick Gold’s agm, but their applications to speak as proxies were denied. Instead, they had Catherine Coumans read their statements as they stood next to her. Security tried to push them to the back of the room, to prevent them from sitting near Catherine, but this strategy of silencing these survivors backfired as media covered the incident.2 Today, we are talking about Toronto-based mining company Barrick Gold. It is the largest gold mining company in the world, founded by University of Toronto alumni Peter Munk, whose name appears on the university’s School of Global Affairs. We’ve got incredible women in studio from the company’s mines in Papua New Guinea here to discuss their organizing around sexual violence at the hands of Barrick employees and mine security, as well as their work in their communities, from gaslighting tactics to the legal and cultural barriers that prevent women from sharing their stories of sexual violence.

On this day, September 10, in 1846, the Massachusetts machinist and inventor  Elias Howe, Jr. (1819-1867) was awarded U.S. Patent 4,750, the first United States patent for a sewing machine using a lockstitch design.

Others had proposed and even manufactured designs for mechanical sewing apparatus, beginning with a German immigrant to London, Charles Weisenthal, who, in 1755, patented a needle to be used in such a machine, though he proposed no machine with which to pair it. Others would soon follow, though their machines similarly were incomplete or suffered design faults that prevented them from working well enough to be put to practical use.

The French inventor Barthélemy Thimonnier invented a machine that was patented by the French government in 1830, and within ten years was operating a factory with 80 machines sewing uniforms for the French army. But Thimonnier’s factory was destroyed by Parisian tailors who feared that his machines would put them out of work. Despite repeated efforts and new patents for improvements to his machine in 1841, 1845, and 1847, which received prizes and acclaim when exhibited at the 1855 World Fair in Paris, Thimonnier’s invention was a commercial failure, and he died a poor man in 1857.

Howe’s invention almost met the same fate, as he struggled to find financial backers to assist in the production of his machine. As he persevered with little luck in turning his invention into a commercial product, other more financially savvy entrepreneurs began manufacturing machines using his design. Most famously, Howe was forced to pursue a court case against Isaac Singer and Walter Hunt from 1849 to 1854, as the two men had begun selling a machine based on his patent. Howe eventually won the dispute. Much of the settlement and royalties he earned as a result went toward providing equipment for the 17th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry of the Union Army during the Civil War, a unit in which he also served as a private. But the funds also allowed him to establish The Howe Machine Co. in Bridgeport, Connecticut around 1866. Both Elias Howe Jr. and Isaac Singer died wealthy men.

The sewing machine in this July, 1943 advertisement was created nearly 100 years after Howe’s patent was granted. Industrial designer Peter Muller Munk’s (1907–1967) contribution to the design was the replacement of the traditional metal sewing machine shell with Durez plastic, which he proposed would not only reduce the weight of the machine, but would also offer options for color finishes that would appeal to consumers.
