Bangor bash Barban boys
by Roger Corbett
On a perfect afternoon for rugby, Bangor maintained their good winning streak by recording another bonus point victory against Dromore, eventually winning by 38-17.
With Bangor and Dromore looking secure in 3rd and 4th places respectively in the league, this game could have been viewed as a dead fixture. However, with Dromore no doubt wanting to reverse their earlier defeat, and Bangor wanting to maximise their points tally, the game was certainly competitive.
Bangor got proceedings underway, playing into a slight breeze that was blowing diagonally across the pitch. From the outset, Dromore used this slight advantage to gain good ground through well taken positional kicks. However, were equally happy to run the ball back and produced several good attacks in reply. In fact the home side could have been a couple of scores up in the first quarter, but the ball didn’t run for them at the crucial moments. However, the breakthrough eventually came when the handling across the backs was crisp and secure, giving Neil Cuthbertson on the right wing the opportunity to stretch his legs and dive over in the corner for a well-taken try. The difficult kick was missed, but the scoreboard had started in Bangor’s favour by 5-0.
The next twenty minutes were almost a copy of the first quarter, with Bangor making most of the attacking opportunities, only to be thwarted by a stubborn Dromore defence. For Dromore’s part, they also had their chances, and came close from a kick through that Cuthbertson managed to shepherd into the goal area and get the resulting twenty two drop-out. However, a slack response by Bangor handed the initiative back to Dromore who, after several surges, managed to push over for their first try in the right hand corner, levelling the scores at 5-5 with just a minute or two left in the first half.
Bangor’s reply from the restart was immediate and in complete contrast to how they approached the previous drop-out. Mark Thompson’s kick hung in the breeze, allowing Jamie Clegg to leap for it and continue running at the static Dromore defence. He then passed inside to Jason Morgan who then passed again to Mike Weir at outside centre. Although Weir had the option of Cuthbertson on the wing, he fooled the Dromore defence and made a charge for the line, just managing to squeeze over in the right hand corner. The conversion was missed, making the score 10-5.
With 2 minutes of stoppage time having elapsed, there was just enough time for Dromore to restart once more. However, another apparent lapse in concentration by Bangor in securing and then clearing the ball, allowed Dromore to come straight back and score an opportunist try in the corner and level the points at 10-10. As the referee blew for half time, the home supporters were stunned, feeling their side should have been well in front by this time.
As the teams turned around, Bangor produced their now familiar second half surge. Within 5 minutes, a good break by James Henly was stopped just inside the Dromore twenty two. Although the ball went to ground, good support play by Curtis Stewart saw him pick up and run through to score under the posts. Cuthbertson’s kick was good, and Bangor were back in front by 17-10.
An injury to full back Chris Morgan resulted in changes to both the forward and backs line-up, with Adam Rushe coming off the bench to take James Henly’s wing forward position, allowing Henly to move to outside centre, and moving Mike Weir to full back as a result. There followed a brief period of settling to this new structure, before Bangor struck again. Seeing a flat Dromore defence ahead of him, Jason Morgan chipped over their heads and began the chase for the line. The ball bounced favourably for him, and he just managed to gather and touch down ahead of the nearest defender. The kick was successful extending the lead to 24-10, and now with the additional bonus point.
Although Dromore maintained their own pressure, it was Bangor who were calling most of the shots. Just 7 minutes later, the ball went wide to Mark Widdowson on the left wing whose pace and footwork left several Dromore players floundering, before darting through to score under the posts. The addition of the simple conversion brought the score to 31-10.
With only 5 minutes remaining, Dromore produced a late push and brought play deep into Bangor’s twenty two. Although Dromore won their scrum close to Bangor’s line, it looked like Bangor had the attack covered. However a defensive mix-up left a gap that provided a simple run through for Dromore to score beside the posts. With the successful conversion, the gap had closed to 31-17.
Obviously annoyed by this mistake, Bangor came back at Dromore, forcing the visitors to concede a penalty inside their twenty two. Spurning the kick at goal, Thompson kicked for touch and an attacking line-out. With the ball safely won, Bangor started to drive forward, but the strong Dromore pack held it up. However, the ball was quickly recycled by Ricky Armstrong to Mark Thompson, who then passed to Jason Morgan who pushed off his tackler to score the final try of the day and, with the conversion, bring the final score to 38-17.
This was a good day for North Down sides playing Mid Down opposition. Bangor’s success against Dromore was matched by neighbours Donaghadee who produced an inspired performance to beat Ballynahinch 2nds and earn a place in this year’s Towns Cup final as a result – congratulations to all.
Bangor’s final fixture in this year’s league is away to Cooke next Saturday. The weekend is then topped off on Sunday afternoon with what should be a highly entertaining game between the Perennials and a Bangor Select XV. With several familiar faces from seasons past, this is sure to be a fun event, and one to come along and enjoy.

Fetching or posting data over the Internet is one of the main core functions of the IoT device. Doing so over HTTP is better implemented in NodeMCU ESP8366 Arduino libraries, but makes things more difficult for HTTPS requests. In this post, I will talk about the most common approaches used by the community and will show you the method to make Secure HTTPS Requests to URL Using NodeMCU ESP8266. No special certificates or fingerprints are required to manually code the program using this method.
HTTPS Requests to URL Using ESP8266- What are CA certificates?
- HTTPS Requests to URL Using Fingerprints - secure but annoying
- HTTPS Requests to URL Using client.setInsecure() - easy but unsafe
- HTTPS Requests to URL with the IoT framework
- Generating a certificate store
- HTTPS Requests to URL Using ESP8266 Source Code
- Conclusion
HTTPS is a method of requesting HTTP over a TLS (formerly SSL) connection. By doing so, the data sent between and behind your computer and server is encrypted and secure. The good news is that this protocol can be used in conjunction with the ESP8266 WiFiClientSecure class. The bad news is those common methods have some major disadvantages.
First I will discuss the two most common methods, and next, I will describe the generic solutions to their problems.
What are CA certificates?
Before diving into the details I will briefly describe the basic principles of secure HTTPS requests in general terms.
Generally, there is a certificate for each website.

Governor Tom Wolf speaking with the press. Governor Tom Wolf urged the legislature to quickly pass his plan for safe and secure elections that ensures voters will receive mail-in ballots early, have time to return them, and that counties will have the time they need to quickly count the anticipated historic number of votes cast. The governor also reminded voters that the best way to make sure their vote is counted is to sign up now for a mail-in ballot and return it well before the Nov. 3 election.

Processing - Packer Ed Forbis secures a gate rope on the corral
Grand Canyon, AZ September 19, 2019 - National Park Service staff closed the doors on livestock trailers yesterday, securing 31 bison inside to transfer them to the InterTribal Buffalo Council who will take them on the journey to join their new herd with the Quapaw tribe in Oklahoma.
The transfer of the bison concluded the Grand Canyon National Park's pilot program for corralling and relocating bison from the North Rim.
"It's an historic moment. These are the first bison ever captured and permanently removed from Grand Canyon," said Grand Canyon National Park Bison Project Manager Miranda Terwilliger.
Leading up to the corralling operations, a corral was regularly supplied with food and water to encourage bison to enter freely and increase their exposure to humans.
"It's a passive process. You want to work as quietly and calmly around the bison to keep their stress levels down because they have very little interactions with humans," said Chris Clark, the South Rim lead mule packer who served as the corral boss."
After a large group of bison entered the corral, during the operation period, staff closed the corral gates and began processing them in preparation for shipment. The processing included separating and releasing bison that were too young or too large or old to make the trip. They were guided into a squeeze chute, where the scientists took blood and genetic samples and tagged them per U.S. Department of Agriculture shipping regulations.
"We had an amazing team who worked really well together," said Terwilliger. "We did a lot of mock runs and training in advance with other parks and agencies."
Biologists from the Kaibab National Forest, Yellowstone National Park, Badlands National Park, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the InterTribal Buffalo Council assisted. Also present was a National Park Service veterinarian to oversee the well-being of the bison.
Several additional animals were outfitted with tracking collars and released during the corralling process. The collaring was conducted with the assistance of U.S. Geological Survey scientists for park wildlife biologists to study the bison migratory patterns and population size.
The goal of the pilot program was to capture and relocate up to 100 bison. The pilot program was conducted this year due to the bison migrating to a warmer location on the North Rim from early snowfall last year. There's approximately 600 bison on the North Rim, and Grand Canyon National Park is reducing the size to under 200 over the next three to five years to protect park resources from the impacts of the bison population.
I was walking down the street in downtown Vancouver and came across this parking/staging area for the new Deadpool movie.

I can hardly wait for the movie; the last one was so much fun, especially since we locals can play 'spot the landmark' as we watch the movie on the big screen.
The Chevron Bead House Project, A beautification project
June 1, 2008 MBAD/ABA African Bead Museum Community began creating “The Chevron Bead House”. The project developed as follows: Virgil Patton suggested that we remove the steps and secure the building. Curtis Bundles, project manger and he help paint the sign, Efe Bes provided drumming and helps with other things and Andre helped everyday with physical labor. Michelle, Genevieve and Kahlil constructed the path, helps paint the sign and provided other assistance. Felicia is director of the garden program and she also worked with the construction of the pathway. Mutope played a major role, in that he helped with painting and many other things.
The Chevron Bead house symbolizes the energy, power, philosophy etc. that Africans had invested in the use of iron, mirrors and wood for protecting the people, the community and keeping the land fertile. The house has hundreds of pieces of mirrors, rusting iron, paint on rusting iron and old decaying wood that changes with the weather. If the sun is bright, the house is bright. If the weather is cloudy, the house is cloudy.
If the wind is blowing the Chevron Bead House makes sounds. If sun rays are beaming the Bead House radiates heat. The Bead House is constantly changing: the iron is rusting, and the paint is fading. The Bead House lives because it reflects the environment it’s in. The small pieces of mirrors make the Bead House appear to have some kind of electric device attached to it and at night the light show begins.
Chevron We painted on the Bead House different views of one of the oldest and most collected beads known to collectors. The chevron bead has been mistakenly identified as one invented by the Venetian people, but it was illustrated on the wall of ancient Egypt years before. We painted the Symbol for Nyama; the dot inside of a circle representing the sun upon which Nyama laid her egg and gave birth to the universe. We painted the Ancestor symbol (a dot) on the house to remind us of those who came before us. The dot is the symbol for our ancestors. We painted the Spiro symbol to represent the idea everything in the universe is connected and we included the symbol of Nsoroma that my ancestors used to remind us of our children.
The Mirror Mirrors were used throughout Africa as a tool to communicate with Nyama, for all kinds of reasons.
Traditionally any pieces of mirrors can be used for protection agencies someone trying to do harm. The mirror is and was used though out Africa as a tool to communicate with the ancestors, for all kinds of reason. It was used in the N’kisi Sculptures eyes and to cover the medicine that was place in the cavity of the navel. The mirror over the navel has many possible interpretations. It may scare a way or capture Nyama. It may represent a passage way to the Nyama’s world.
The, magician or healer would also have looked in the mirror to find the image of Nyama. The mirrors were used collectively to protect the community, and attack bad intentions .The mirror over the navel has many possible interpretations, it may represent a passage way to the world of ancestor.

The top-seeded Army West Point Women’s Basketball team won its third Patriot League title with a 69-51 victory over No. 3 Loyola on Saturday evening at Christl Arena. Army secures the Patriot League’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and will make its third appearance in the dance, following trips in 2006 and 2014.
Army extends its winning streak to 19 games and improves to 29-2. The Black Knights’ 29 win tie the 2009-10 Lehigh squad for the most total wins in Patriot League history. Loyola finishes the year 16-16 after the setback.
Senior Kelsey Minato earned Patriot League Tournament MVP honors for the second time in her career after scoring 25 points and shooting 4-of-8 from beyond the arc. Classmate Aimee Oertner and sophomore Janae McNeal joined Minato on the league’s all-tournament team, as Oertner posted a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double, to go along with four blocks, and McNeal totaled 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting.
Sophomore Destinee Morris netted eight points off the bench, while classmate Aliyah Murray and freshman Madison Hovren each contributed four points.
Diana Logan led Loyola with 15 points, while Colleen Marshall and Bri Betz-White also scored in double figures, with 12 points and 11 points, respectively.
Minato knocked in a three-pointer 2:28 into the contest to give Army a 5-2 advantage before sinking all three free-throws after being fouled on a long-range attempt with 5:03 to play in the first quarter. Her three foul shots made the score 10-4.
Oertner registered three blocks in the first 2:19 of the evening to limit Loyola’s offense early, as the Greyhounds were held to nine points in the opening frame.
McNeal converted lay-ups on consecutive possessions to cap a 9-0 Army run and extend the margin to 10 points, 14-4, with 3:41 remaining in the first period. The Black Knights went on to outscore the Greyhounds, 13-5, over the final 6:48 of the opening frame, as the hosts led, 20-9, at the end of one.
Logan scored the first seven points of the second quarter to begin a 9-0 run that brought Loyola back to within two, 20-18, with 6:45 left until halftime. Logan buried her second triple of the half to extend the scoring run to 12-0 and give the Greyhounds their first lead of the game, 21-20, with 6:12 remaining in the second period.
Army answered back with 10 straight points of its own, including three-pointers from Minato and Morris, to build the advantage to nine points, 30-21, by the 2:39 mark. Morris drained her second three-pointer of the quarter with 19 seconds remaining in the half to make the score 33-23 heading into the break.
The Black Knights maintained a 10-point advantage until building the lead to 14 after a pair of free-throws from Minato and a bucket from Oertner that came with 4:04 on the clock in the third quarter.
McNeal added lay-ins 22 seconds apart to build the hosts’ lead to 17, 47-30, before seven unanswered points from Loyola brought the Greyhounds back to within 10, 47-37, entering the fourth period.
Oertner netted four quick points to begin the fourth quarter and Minato hit a triple at the 7:59 mark to bring the score to 54-41. Loyola didn’t come any closer than 11 for the last 7:59 of the contest.
“This team has never ceased to amaze me this year,” said head coach Dave Magarity. “It’s mind blowing that we are 29-2 and the way we got here, the teams we beat and we thought we put together a pretty tough schedule with Albany, the conference champion in the America East, Quinnipiac won the MAAC regular season and they were huge wins for us and put us in position to get the one-seed as things worked out for us with the tiebreaker over a great Bucknell team.
“This group of young ladies has just accomplished so much with 99 wins over four years at this level is incredible and they just continue to do what it takes. You don’t want it to turn into a cliché with being a team of destiny, but we put together the right pieces. Janae McNeal and the junior class with Aliyah Murray and the Morris twins, as well, and I consider my coaching staff the best in America. It’s the best coaching staff I’ve ever had and I’ve had some pretty good coaches."

They asked for a fair trial of the war criminals of 1971 war of Independence of Bangladesh. Their protest has been politicized as a protest against religion. A huge (couple of hundred thousand) gathering of religious extremists against this protest was held in "Shapla Chattar" - Dhaka. Shahbag was under attack by the religious extremists and these guys are pushing the thorn-ed iron bars to block the attack

I fitted a replacement windscreen washer pump, found the 4 "hidden" wires that need to be connected to it and re-made the connections. My wipers now "park" correctly at the base of the screen and run fast when the foot operated washer pump is triggered :-)
