Aces Remain In 8th

PADUCAH, Ky. – Leading the way for the University of Evansville men’s golf team in Monday’s second round of the Missouri Valley Conference Championship was Henry Keil, who carded a 2-over 74.

Kiel lowered his tally by six strokes from the first to the second round at the Country Club of Paducah.  His total score of 154 is 26th overall and third on the Purple Aces squad.  Leading the UE contingent after 36 holes is the duo of Carson Parker and Caleb Wassmer.  Parker followed up his opening round 76 with a 77 while Wassmer finished today with a 78 following a 75 a day ago.  Both are tied for 21st with scores of 153.

Following Kiel in the order is Isaac Rohleder.  He made the largest jump for the Aces, dropping his score from an 85 to a 76 on Monday.  His 161 is tied for 36th.  Dallas Koth also made a nice leap.  His second-round score of 78 was seven better than his first-round score.

Southern Illinois has a firm grasp in the team standings, pacing Valparaiso by 17 strokes going into the final 18 holes on Tuesday.  SIU posted a 285 in round two and stand with a 580.  Valpo is in second with a 597 while Illinois State and Drake are tied for third with a 601.

Max Kreikemeier of Missouri State holds the individual lead.  One of the lowest rounds in championship history saw him card a 5-under 67 to jump in front.  His 141 is three ahead of Tom Cleaton of the Salukis.ß

Indiana State Police Partners with DEA for 22nd Drug Take Back Day

0

On Saturday, April 30, 2022, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is sponsoring the 22nd nationwide “Prescription Drug Take Back” initiative.  The “Take Back” initiative seeks to prevent prescription drug abuse and theft through proper disposal of prescription drugs.

Collection sites will be set up nationwide for expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs which will be properly disposed of without threat to the environment.  This program is for liquid and pill medications.  Vaping pens without batteries and vaping cartridges will also be taken.  Needles, new or used, WILL NOT be accepted for disposal.  This service is free and anonymous with no questions asked.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue.  Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.  Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.

In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—pose both potential safety and health hazards.

Once again, the Indiana State Police is pleased to partner with the DEA, and as in the past, unwanted medications may be dropped off at any Indiana State Police Post, except for the Lowell and Toll Road Posts.  The event will be on Saturday, April 30, 2022 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

To locate the State Police post closest to your home or business, click this link for Indiana State Police on the Map. To find other locations in Indiana or across the U.S. that are participating in the Drug Take Back initiative, click this link to the DEA.

The Drug Take Back events are the safe, popular and responsible way for the public to legally dispose of prescription drugs with no questions asked.

How to Pitch Yourself: 8 Tips for Artists

Excerpt from a blog post by Nina Berman, Fractured Atlas

First of all, what’s a pitch? We’re defining a pitch as sending information about yourself and what you’re offering to someone in hopes that they’ll give you an opportunity. Oftentimes, you will be pitching to people who you don’t know at all or perhaps someone who you’ve been introduced to by a mutual contact. A pitch is when you make the case that something that you do is relevant or useful or interesting to someone else.

Artists send out pitches for a variety of reasons, each of which will mean that the pitch will be slightly different. The core reason, though, for you to send out a pitch of some kind is that you want something from the person or organization that you’re getting in touch with.

You might pitch yourself as a way to get hired, to develop a partnership, to get a meeting, or to receive media coverage.

Read the full blog post for tips on how to write and send pitches more strategically and more successfully.
