He said that when Southgate first got the rifles, paperwork had to be completed once or twice a year. As the years have passed, that number has increased.

My students were eager learners for this unit, digging into the texts and discussion opportunities with a fervor that communicated their hunger for wanting to understand race and racism in their own community, even if they’d experienced racism firsthand.

Hart headlined a pair of WrestleManias, but he had a bitter split with WWE in 1997 and his career ended a few years later from a concussion caused by a kick to the head. He suffered a stroke in 2002 and fought cancer, but the Canadian recovered from both and recently received an honorary degree from Mount Royal University. He still watches wrestling — especially old AWA matches — and has caught up on lost time by being there for his grandchildren. He hopes today’s stars have the balance of health, happiness and a fruitful career that so many of his contemporaries failed to find on 300-plus nights on the road — because wrestling fame won’t last forever.

After an LA miss, with the shot clock running down Ainge threw a crosscourt pass to Bird, who head faked Green and coolly sidestepped him as the Laker forward flew by. The shot clock ticked down to two as another defender, Byron Scott, rushed at him, but too late.

The trick was to turn, pivot and crash into the post with the ropes at your back. It made a terrific amount of noise when you hit but didn’t really hurt.

While my students are adults, some of the recent current events have been challenging to tackle, like the #MeToo movement and sexual harassment, the racial and ethnic tension behind the immigration debate and the latest in the L.G.B.T.Q. movement. Since my students are international, it requires special attention and sensitivity to navigate their cultural backgrounds, gender identities and religious beliefs. I find it interesting that a lot of time is often devoted to helping students understand and decode the culturally specific nature and dynamics that undergird many of the current events in the popular discourse.

These videos are good to spur creative thinking and show what kind of out-of-the-box research is being done. After showing these videos, I may ask for discussion with a partner, then a class share, and ask for students to jot down ideas and thoughts about what they learned. Why do this? To show how we as humans have a lot to learn about how other creatures (even ones as lowly as a spider) figure out ways to survive, flourish and evolve, to pass on their genes!

Neurodegenerative diseases take decades to develop, and widespread use of electronic devices like smartphones, etc. is a still a relatively recent thing. So the scary way to look at this is that we are conducting a risky experiment with some potentially serious public health consequences, and we won’t know for another decade or so if we’ve made some terrible mistakes.

GM has outfitted the Bolt with a host of driver-assist-and-safety features, including a lane-keeping assist, a forward-collision alert, a blind-spot alert, and a cross-traffic alert. You’re surrounded by airbags, and the Bolt’s stability control makes for a secure ride. It gives up nothing on this front. And if anything does go wrong, you have OnStar to summon backup.

The wrestlers — some who have died since they were filmed, including Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka and George “The Animal” Steele — offer a candid look behind the curtain of what comes with all those miles on the road.
