The Rapids recorded a 2-2 draw against Celaya F.C. in the team’s first scrimmage of the preseason on Sunday afternoon.Rapids newcomers Josh Copeland and Sam Bassett recorded their first goals in Burgundy on assists from Rafael Navarro and Cole Bassett, respectively. The first 45 minutes saw the Rapids largely control possession of the ball, with Connor Ronan highlighting his pace in the midfield. Andreas Maxsø was the first to start the offensive threat, placing a header just over the crossbar on a Ronan corner-kick delivery in the third minute. However, it was Celaya that was first on the board in the 10thminute. Rapids 2 goalkeeper Nico Hansen made a solid save on the first shot on goal, but the rebound was picked up by Celaya and tapped into the back of the net. The second half saw a wholesale substitution with both Copeland and Sam stepping on for their first Rapids preseason game reps. The comeback goal came in the 64th minute, starting at the foot of Navarro. The Brazilian striker found Omir Fernandez on a give-and-go and carried the ball to the endline to cross it into the box. Copeland was perfectly positioned in front of goal to backheel the equalizer into the back of the net. The team’s go-ahead goal came five minutes later off the foot of Sam. In the Homegrown brothers’ debut match, Cole carried the ball up the right flank before crossing it into Sam at the top of the box. Sam sent it into the far post on a one-time finish for his first goal of the preseason. The match continued on with a few more chances for the Rapids, but it was Celaya that grabbed the final goal of the match in the dying seconds to end the game 2-2. The Rapids will face two more opponents before returning to Colorado. The team’s next closed-door matchup with Querétaro FC is slated for 10:30 a.m. MT on Sunday, January 26.

He is a former Montgomery Fellow and Roth Family Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Dartmouth His work has been exhibited and collected internationally including the State Hermitage Museum in St Russia; The Phillips Collection in Washington D.C.; the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Havana Cuba; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York For some modernist artists, says John Stomberg the Virginia Rice Kelsey 1961s Director of the Hood Museum the formal qualities of their work—what something looks like—is the point Martínez Celaya takes a different route.  I think there’s a great comparison to be made between his use of imagery and color and Frost’s use of subject matter and language,” Stomberg says Jami Powell the Hood’s associate director of curatorial affairs and curator of Indigenous art catastrophe and redemption that characterize human life.”  Frost’s wife and four of their six children died before him including a son who died by suicide in 1940 at age 37 I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life That spirit and ethos are central to the exhibition But the show is not specifically about the poet’s biography and it’s not pedagogical He thinks of the exhibition not as “a collection of objects but rather a collection of relationships that are animated when you walk in and spend some time with it.”  The exhibition is intended to be an immersive And because it eschews explanatory wall labels it asks audiences to “grapple with concepts like unknowing and ambiguity,” Powell says which is painted black and pulls behind it a dead apple tree Visitors will be invited to write poems or notes on small pieces of paper and drop them into a collection box; staff will collect the notes and hang them on the tree; over time bringing the apple tree metaphorically back to life.  Part of the pull for an Upper Valley audience where Frost matriculated in the Class of 1896 but left after less than one term He later taught at Dartmouth as a Ticknor Fellow from 1943 to 1949 and spoke in the College’s Great Issues lecture series The New Hampshire and Vermont landscapes today are not radically different in their nature than what Frost would have experienced “Frost has this history with the landscape The landscape is a very important character in this exhibition If the exhibition were in Florida it would lose a significant part of its power shows have typically run three months to limit the exposure of works of art to environmental stress The advantage of a longer exhibition for a teaching museum such as the Hood is that it gives faculty and students more time to look at and contemplate work It also gives people on campus and off multiple chances to visit “One of the things we’ve found is that faculty who teach with work in one term learn a lot about what they want to teach with as the term goes on At the end of three months you have a very different relationship with that show or object,” says Stomberg “The Grief of Almost is the kind of show that will really grow richer as people engage with it over time.”  Enrique Martínez Celaya will give an artist’s lecture at the Hood Museum on

Tapatio got a 3-2 victory over Celaya that crowned them champions after their 2-1 victory in the first leg Tapatio FC became 2024 Apertura Champion in the Liga de Expansion after defeating Celaya by a 3-2 score Tapatio came in heavily favored after getting a 2-1 win in the first leg but they would have some scares before bouncing back from a 2-0 deficit to get the 3-2 win gave some joy to Chivas’ fans days after their team was eliminated in Liga Mx The 1st half started with Tapatio hoping to hold on to their lead A shot from Matias Cendejas was just deflected wide Carlos Baltazar got off a low right footed shot that was saved by Tapatio’s goalkeeper After Paul de los Santos failed to control the ball at the halfway line Hugo Camberos would steal the ball and go on a 1 vs 1 chance before being brought down just outside the area by De los Santos Because of being the last man and it being a clear goal opportunity he would get a red card and leave Celaya down to 10 players for the rest of the match in a terrible double mistake from the defender Celaya subbed out Juan Gamboa for Eduardo del Angel as they needed to set their defense without De los Santos they were playing too conservative and it ended up costing a free kick for Celaya ended with a cross that found Osmar Muñoz who made a great play lowering the ball and getting a left footed tap past Garcia and into the net to score and give Celaya the 1-0 lead Tapatio lost their advantage and now if the score remain this way The halftime whistle blew and Tapatio paid dearly for their style of play The 2nd half started with Tapatio hoping to bounce back from the last minute goal Celaya got a free kick in which the cross into the area ended being bounced around until Daniel Cervantes got off a header in the area that was deflected past Garcia and into the net to score and give Celaya the 2-0 lead Celaya would become Liga Expansion champions Camberos made a great play in the area but his right footed shot went wide Tapatio subbed out Diego Delgadillo and Matiacs Cedejas for Benjamin Sanchez and Luis Rey A cross into the area found Benjamin Sanchez who headed the ball past the hands of Celaya’s goalkeeper Gabino Espinoza (who incredibly tried to grab the ball instead of block it) and into the net to score and place the score at 2-1 once again the match was set as going to extra time instead of Celaya wining the title outright A cross into the area was headed just wide by Teun Wilke A minute later a cross into the area was volleyed by Camberos into the path of Teun Wilke who got off a left footed shot past Espinoza and into the net to score the goal that tied the match at 2-2 The goal meant that now Tapatio was winning the title if the score remained the same Celaya subbed out Allan Wlk for Duilio Tejeda A shot from outside the area from Gil Garcia went just wide Tapatio subbed out Hugo Camberos for Francisco Mendez was headed by Garcia and although Espinoza blocked it the ball was left there for Saul Zamora to score into the empty net for the 3-2 lead Celaya subbed out Jose Juan Vazquez and Adolfo Dominguez for Martin Barragan and Emanuel Montejano Tapatio subbed out Gil Garcia and Enrique Ledesma for Leonardo Jimenez and Daniel Villaseca A cross into the area was headed by Wilke but easily handled by Espinoza Tapatio held on and would get the victory that crowned them 2024 Apertura champions Tapatio became 2024 Apertura champions in Liga de Expansion after defeating Celaya twice While Tapatio hadn’t impressed in the Liguilla tying all their matches in both Quarterfinal series against Tepatitlan and Universidad de Guadalajara They went thru both only because of their better regular season records Still things clicked in the final when they defeated Celaya away by a 2-1 score and although they got into real trouble With Chivas’ mightily struggling in Liga Mx they have a good opportunity to get young players as they try to eventually pull of their spiral they can celebrate how Tapatio FC is the new Liga de Expansion Champions Lilly Wei is a New York-based art critic and independent curator.

They will decide the successor of the president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, as well as more than 20,000 posts at the federal, state and municipal levels. Several factions are fighting over Celaya (population 500,000), one of the biggest industrial cities in the state of Guanajuato “It’s become a battleground,” said Falko Ernst Mexico analyst for the non-profit Crisis Group local extortion markets and retail markets for methamphetamine.” Since 2020, roughly one in every thousand people in Celaya has been murdered each year. It is the most dangerous city to be a police officer in Mexico: in the past three years Gaytán held a press conference in which she laid out her proposals to fight corruption and improve security in Celaya as candidate for Morena Both Celaya and Guanajuato have been governed by the conservative Pan party for decades A Wixarika Indigenous woman casts her vote at an elementary school during a mock election day drill in Tuxpan de Bolaños Photograph: Ulises Ruiz/AE/AFP/Getty ImagesAt the time was working with the rest of her team in his home “We only got the news when someone came to tell us,” said Ramírez because the murder of Gisela was not an ordinary killing,” said Ramírez “They put a bullet in her neck and then shot her all over her body The state attorney general has twice announced the arrests of suspects claiming to have dismantled the cell that murdered Gaytán but without providing information about the motive The state governor, Diego Sinhue, has said they are exploring all possible lines of investigation – including that factions within Morena itself unhappy with the selection of Gaytán as candidate may have been involved but I have felt a hostile atmosphere coming from the state government,” said Ramírez describing the announcement that Morena itself was under investigation as an attempt at “intimidation” Juan Miguel Ramírez and Alejandro Ramírez – his son and campaign manager Photograph: RamírezCandidates themselves are not the only ones at risk Last week, the father of Saúl Trejo, Morena candidate for mayor in the nearby municipality of Tarimoro, was shot and killed “Going after relatives is a way of pressuring the candidate,” said Alejandro “Maybe they want to avoid a direct confrontation with the soldiers – but they can get to you indirectly.” Soldiers are guarding not just Ramírez’s house Yet Alejandro seemed sanguine about the risks of a family-centred campaign there’s a lot of joy when you’re out campaigning But then sometimes I talk to the soldiers and they mention little things Like last night – we got in after midnight and they told me that a blue Kia had been following us And suddenly you’re aware of what’s happening.” Attacks on politicians are just “the tip of the iceberg” when it comes to criminal attempts to influence elections and penetrate the state Violence extends both beyond the campaign trail and to a wider range of actors “Behind a murdered politician there are surely journalists activists and religious leaders who have been attacked,” said Sandra Ley Such attacks have been rising for the last several governments criminal control is now such that it is hard to claim free and fair elections are taking place “In [the state of] Guerrero there are places where organised crime groups control many spheres of life – not just the political but the economic and social,” said Mónica Meltis “They control when people can leave their homes National guard members stand guard in the area where an opposition presidential candidate is holding a campaign rally Photograph: Ulises Ruiz/AFP/Getty Images“And then you have to ask who is being selected to take decisions [in government],” added Meltis “They are surely people with agreements with organised crime groups.” Overall, political violence correlates with lower voter turnout – perhaps reflecting voters’ perception that candidates are being pre-selected by criminal groups, or the fear of violence during the act of voting itself. In Celaya, the effect of Gaytán’s murder will only become clear on 2 June. “It’s ugly to say it, but with the murder of Gisela, the voting intention for Morena went up,” said Ramírez. “We are telling people to go and vote as if they were going to the market or taking the kids to school. To go and vote as if it were just another day,” said Ramírez. “To go and vote despite the fear we all have.” Russia’s Destruction of Ukraine’s Environment has National and International – and Personal – Consequences by THE FRONT Memories of ‘Phantom Utopias’ Are Paving the Way for Fascism Around the Globe  by History Bites Fighting Fires: A Win in Wisconsin and Cory Booker’s Stem-Winder Encourage Democracy Marchers by SOUNDS OF THE CITY So Angry You Could … Sing? by SOUNDS OF THE CITY Rocking the House for Tibet House  by BOOKS Long Before ‘The Godfather,’ Mario Puzo Put the Unspeakable Into Print by FILM Review: A ‘Bonjour Tristesse’ Update Swoons Amid Riviera Vacation Porn by Theater In ‘Just in Time,’ Jonathan Groff Shines as Bobby Darin  by Onlyfans To draw a child well you have to do it with love — even or is your gentle but inscrutable granddaughter sitting still so you can practice your technique Shana Nys Dambrot is an art critic, author, and curator based in Los Angeles and is the arts editor at LA Weekly.

environmental activists concerned about safety On Tuesday, a group of protesters gathered outside Tucson Electric Power's headquarters in downtown Tucson to voice their disapproval of the proposed nuclear expansion emphasized the risks associated with nuclear technology "I've been studying this technology for almost 50 years now," he said it's too slow to make a difference in our energy needs in the future." argued that the new reactor would not benefit consumers financially Phelps also advocated for alternative energy sources TEP spokesman Joe Barrios clarified that the utility is evaluating a range of energy options battery storage — which would be required for renewable resources — as well as natural gas those are also things that we're looking into," Barrios explained He also addressed safety concerns related to nuclear energy "The thing about nuclear resources is they are very heavily regulated and safety is a big concern before they are permitted and built," he said Arizona's exploration of nuclear energy aligns with broader national discussions on sustainable power sources Energy Secretary Chris Wright recently highlighted the importance of nuclear power in meeting the increasing electricity demands of the tech sector particularly with the rise of energy-intensive applications like artificial intelligence Wright noted that nuclear energy has been a
