INTRODUCTION
This morning, Friday, May 17, 2019, I was moved to think about my cousin Davie McLaughlin who passed away in December 2004. In recalling memories of Davie and I, I was filled with the happiness of what we had as kids doing things together and what we shared as adults.
Dave passed away as a result of a brain tumor. I was invited by his mother (my Aunt Vi) and his sisters (Kathi and Dori) to prepare the memorial service and speak at the service, along with their pastor. I did so. I visited and talked with the family about Dave and the service. I prepared the order of service and the bulletin. I prepared and gave a message titled, “Davie Took Me Places”. I chose topic because, mostly as kids and then into adulthood, that’s what Davie did. He took me places I would have never thought of or known to go to without him. Our experiences were fun and memorable.
In this writing, I want to share with you the happening that inspired me to write this document and many things that were included in the Memorial Service.
Chico State Athletics - The "Gambino" AwardAndrew Gambino
The women's soccer team at Chico State has 19 freshmen on its roster this season, making it a very young team. However, the coach is excited about the new players and believes they are talented. The team is focusing on developing team chemistry and culture to build a foundation for success. The 11 returning players will provide leadership, and the coach expects them to have a big impact on the season. The overall goal is for the team to shine and build off its strong finish last season.
The David D. Hammar Foundation was established after David Hammar died from injuries sustained in a bicycle accident. The foundation's mission is to promote bicycle safety and provide scholarships. One of its main events is the annual Tour de Long Valley cycling fundraiser, which raises money for local charities. The 3rd Tour de Long Valley will have courses ranging from 20-60 miles and aims to attract 500 riders to raise funds for charities like the local first aid squad.
The document summarizes two training exercises held at Fort Meade to prepare first responders for crisis situations. A simulated natural disaster was used to test the response to setting up a Family Assistance Center. An active shooter scenario tested law enforcement response and moving "injured" volunteers to a medical triage area. Both exercises provided lessons and showed ways response could be improved. A safety expo was also announced to promote awareness of various safety topics.
How science PR pros can get my -- and other journalists' -- attentionIvan Oransky
The document provides tips for researchers on how to effectively get the attention of journalists, such as the author, in today's media landscape. It advises against calling to check if a press release was received, using short embargoes, embargoing already published studies, and sending large email attachments. The document recommends researchers get to know a journalist's areas of interest, send study drafts in advance, be more inclusive with embargoed materials such as providing them to bloggers, account for all embargo breaks, and make public policies on publishing clear.

3) Other random cosmic events that can impact Earth include solar flares, supernovae, and gamma-ray bursts, with the latter having possibly contributed to a past mass extinction due to ozone depletion and increased UV radiation.

The document discusses the history and scientific explanation of rainbows. Early cultures explained rainbows through myths symbolizing hope and fear. Today, calculus can be used to explain rainbows through the properties of light reflection and refraction. Fermat's principle states that light follows the fastest path. This allows derivation of the laws of reflection and refraction. For reflection, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. For refraction, the ratio of sines of the incident and refracted angles is a constant called the index of refraction. Finally, using calculus, the document derives the angle that produces the rainbow effect through light refracting as it enters and exits a raindrop.

Working with Journalists as a PIO: Five Do's and Don't'sIvan Oransky
The document provides dos and don'ts for public information officers (PIOs) when working with journalists. It advises PIOs to avoid calling journalists to check if they received press releases, pitching stories the journalist never covers, embargoing already published studies, asking journalists to uphold embargoes others may break, and sending embargoed material without agreement. PIOs should convince researchers to meet journalists' deadlines, learn the journalist's interests, send potentially interesting non-institutional stories, provide articles from non-embargoing journals, and advise researchers to avoid jargon.

Conference…
3rd Quarter Conference
Vi reported the conference was a good one. The hotel was nice,
they are great to work with. The banquet food was great. There
was no training at this conference. The head table had young
faces, which was refreshing. Entertainment was a jazz band which
was excellent. The conference moved right along with some fun
stuff throughout. The hospitality room was fabulous.
Approximately 32 door prizes were given out each night and a
50/50 drawing. There were 95 adults and 30 JOOI kids who
attended. While at the conference the JOOI kids elected their new
officers. The kids also put on a great performance. They also

Congratulations to Sabrina! Jean was presented as Zone 9

5. Memorial Day, which falls on
the last Monday of May,
commemorates the men and
women who died while
serving in the American
military. Originally known as
Decoration Day, it originated
in the years following the
Civil War and became an
official federal holiday in
1971. Many Americans
observe Memorial Day by
visiting cemeteries or
memorials, holding family
gatherings and participating
in parades. Unofficially, at
least, it marks the beginning
of summer.
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
Q. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the
Unknowns and why?
A. 21 steps: It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute which is the highest honor given
any military or foreign dignitary.
Q. How long does he hesitate after his about face to begin his return walk and why?
A. 21 seconds for the same reason as above
Q. Why are his gloves wet?
A. His gloves are moistened to prevent his losing his grip on the rifle.
Q. Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all the time
and, if not, why not?
A. He carries the rifle on the shoulder away from the tomb. After his march across
the path, he executes an about face and moves the rifle to the outside shoulder.
