hopes of finding out who should walk her down the aisle. The musical was created using songs from the pop group ABBA. The group’s “Mamma Mia” album from 1975 was turned into a musical by Catherine Johnson two decades later. Johnson worked with ABBA songwriters Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson to develop the music while she wrote the story herself, according to a press release. See MAMMA MIA, page 4

Ball State hoped to end a threegame losing streak against Valparaiso (6-4) Wednesday night at Worthen Arena and secure their third win of the season. Instead, the Cardinals lost 6950 to the Crusaders who proved to be longer and stronger. Valparaiso outscored Ball State in the paint 40-18. The Cardinals shot 26.9 percent from the floor, often working themselves into poor shots on offense. They finished with 25 percent shooting from threepoint range and 60 percent from the free throw line. “When things went bad, it
became ‘Let me get it all back right now, give me the ball, I’m going to go make a play,’” head coach James Whitford said. Mark Alstork led the team in scoring with 11 points as Ball State lost its third and final instate game. Senior Jesse Berry chipped in 10 points and freshman Zavier Turner had nine Wednesday night. Turner did not start against Valparaiso for disciplinary reasons because of a missed class. Freshman Quinten Payne made the first start of his career as he filled in for his fellow freshman. Valparaiso was led by fifthyear senior LaVonte Dority, who finished with 16 points and four rebounds. He received help in the paint from Jubril Adekoya, who finished with 12 points and eight rebounds.

With Winter Break right around the corner, houses and residence halls are going to be empty for nearly a month. To the unprepared, this could mean a higher than expected electric bill, a messy return and a flood of water on the floor. Not to mention, an empty house is a perfect opportunity for theft. Here are a few ways to avoid a potential disaster over the holidays.

Senior history and political science major Matthew Smith recites a piece during Amnesty International’s protest to stop sexual violence on Wednesday outside Bracken Library. Amnesty International also had a petition for students to sign during the protest that lasted from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Human rights protesters dress up for awareness Participants use women’s suffrage as protest example KAITLIN LANGE STAFF REPORTER | kllange@bsu.edu A Ball State group chose an older approach to raising awareness of sexual assault, dressed in early 1900s clothing giving adapted speeches from the women’s suffrage movement. The Amnesty International chapter hosted a demonstration Wednesday to encourage the administration to give students more resources to deal with sexual assault and violence. Since 2010, the number of sexual assaults on campus has risen from six to 11 in 2012, according to the National Clery Act. Nationwide, one in five women and one in 71 men have experienced rape or an attempted rape, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Ball State currently has multiple resources to deal with sexual assault, including a victim advocate on hand to help those who have been sexually assaulted. The Office of Health, Alcohol and Drug Education and the Office of Victim Services is also available to give information to students about sexual assault during the “Red Zone,” the first six weeks of school when sexual
assaults are most likely to occur. “Ball State is doing a lot of good stuff, but we just want to draw attention to not only the good stuff they are doing, but also what we can do to make it better,” Natalie Abell, co-director of the chapter, said. Amnesty International chose to base their demonstration on the women’s suffrage movement, wearing long dresses, hats and suspenders and giving speeches adapted from the movement to fit the cause of sexual assault. Matthew Smith, co-director of Amnesty International, said it’s symbolic because the historic movement’s 100th anniversary was this year. “We’re harkening back to the early revolutionary movement, early in the century, and developing some of those same themes when we are talking about liberation from sexual assault and the fear of sexual violence for women, as well as men,” he said. Smith felt the demonstration idea was effective, but some students like Andrew Riley, a sophomore chemistry major, felt basing it on the suffrage made the issue more biased based on gender. “I feel like both sides have an issue and if we fix the issue for one side, the other side is still going to have the issue,” Riley said. “Why not just teach everybody to not sexually assault other people or give everybody

equality? Kill two birds with one stone.” Smith said the group tried to draw men in as well by having speeches by prominent men like Jackson Katz and Frederick Douglass in addition to Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Riley was originally drawn into the event because of the signs Amnesty International had around campus. He said it was more “gender neutral” than he anticipated from seeing the signs. Bianca Russelburg, the social media coordinator for Amnesty International, was so interested in participating in the protest because of how nondivisive the issue was. “It’s nonpartisan,” Russelburg said. “No one wants to get sexually assaulted on campus. It doesn’t deal with politics. It’s just a matter of community, and I really like that.” During the protest, people had the opportunity to sign a petition to encourage the university to expand the sexual assault programs. The signatures will be sent to the university along with a list of suggestions, collected via an anonymous online form. Russelburg said the ideas mainly revolve around education on the issue and support the ideas the group had as a whole. Smith said one specific thing Amnesty International

would like to see is more education on bystander intervention. David Merten, a sophomore acting major, saw part of the demonstration and thought it was an effective way of raising awareness for the issue. “I think it’s great that people our age are focusing on these issues because we’re the people on this campus,” Merten said. “We’re the ones being affected by this sort of material and these crimes are on our campus affecting us. I think it’s nice the student voice is finally being heard and hopefully the university will hear the students’ voice more than they ever have.”

This helps keep the water pipes from freezing over break, plus no one wants to return to a room that is freezing.
• UNPLUG ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
This serves two purposes. Unplugging appliances saves energy and cost for the university. Plus, it makes sure these appliances aren’t damaged if there is a power surge or water leak.
• TURN ALARM CLOCKS AND TIMERS OFF
Anyone who uses something other than their cellphone to wake up needs to turn these off. This keeps staff from having to enter the room to turn them off or a continuous alarm burning through the device’s batteries.
• EMPTY ALL GARBAGE FROM TRASH CANS INTO TRASH ROOM RECEPTACLES ON EACH FLOOR
This keeps bugs from coming into the dorm looking for a bite to eat with the added benefit of allowing students to return to clean, stinkfree rooms.
• CLOSE AND LOCK THE WINDOWS
First floor residents should close curtains to keep potential burglars from eyeing valuables. Other floors should leave curtains open. The University Police Department will patrol campus, and this allows them to spot any intruders or people who are out of place in housing complexes.
• WATER THE PLANTS AND FEED THE FISH
Honestly, these living organisms should probably be taken home. Plants can wither and most animals need care the month students will be gone. Staff will not take care of plants or animals.
• TURN OFF ANY LIGHTS
This goes along with unplugging electronics — it’s all about saving energy.
• LOCK THE DOOR
The last person out of the room should do a once-over to make sure everything is in place and as it should be before leaving and locking the door.
SUGGESTIONS FOR OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING •T AKE CARE OF THE CAR
If you’re leaving a vehicle on campus, park it in a well lit area and lock the doors. People should take any electronics and valuables home. You should ask a friend to and drive the vehicle over break so that the engine does not freeze.
• NOTIFY POLICE
UPD will patrol areas off campus during break. Tell them your house will be empty so they can keep an eye out for any strange activity.
• STOP THE MAIL
A large pile of letters and newspapers outside the door can tip off a potential criminal that a house is empty. Call the post office at 765-254-0000 and ask them to hold all mail until you will return.
• ASK A FRIEND OR NEIGHBOR TO WATCH THE HOUSE OR APARTMENT
A trusted friend can help keep an eye on your belongings while you are gone. Give them a key to your home in case they need to take in mail, water plants or feed pets.
• MAKE IT LOOK LIKE SOMEONE IS HOME
Use automatic timers for appliances like televisions and radios so they turn on and off at varying intervals. Do the same for indoor and outdoor lights. Keeping them on continuously has the opposite effect, creating a beacon for break-ins. SOURCES: allstate.com, independenttraveler.com, bsu.edu and resnet.umd.edu

Every “best of” list is extremely subjective, so keep that in mind. I’ve enjoyed most of the musical products from these artists previously, and they did not fail me in 2013. This list is ranked in alphabetical order because they are all that good.
THE KNIFE
“Shaking the Habitual” Rating: 4/5 Release date: April 5
The Swedish duo — siblings Karin Dreijer Andersson and Olof Dreijer — are brilliant. There’s no way around it. The Knife reigns, in terms of electronic music to me. The two are pretty dark and extremely talented. Feminist and queer theory influenced the album, which I can get behind. The Knife doesn’t stray away from political statements and the two criticize the idea of the nuclear family as well as the royal family. In the album’s manuscript it says, “What we do is political. That should be impossible to misunderstand.” This album is an impressive unit of art, though it isn’t an accessible album — it takes a certain listener to digest its at times uncomfortable, aggressive and challenging sounds. The album cover assaults your eyes with the bright colors, which seems tame compared to the music that spans nearly 100 minutes.
KEVIN DEVINE
“Bubblegum” Rating: 4.5/5 Release date: Oct. 15
When I first started “Bubblegum,” the opener (“Noble Prize”) shocked me by how raw and loud it was. Devine has certainly grown in his abilities, and “Bubblegum” is proof. The entire album is very full and includes a few songs that call out the government — “Private First Class” and “Fiscal Cliff.” I particularly like “Private First Class,” as he calls attention to the hypocrisy of the condemnation of Pfc. Chelsea Manning. “Bubblegum” also has one of my favorite new songs from him, “Redbird.” The song is an abstract about Maher Arar, who was tortured in Syria due to the U.S. government suspecting him of being a member of al-Qaeda. Syria and Canada later called him innocent, and he was cleared of any terrorism links. It contains some of my favorite lines from the album, “I held the fear in my mouth, I choked it down and now I’ll never let it out / It’s never only the one thing / Always another / Waiting in line.” I can’t get that song out of my head, and it’s a good problem to have.
KANYE WEST “Yeezus” Rating: 4/5 Release date: June 18
DAFT PUNK
Regardless of how people take Kanye West as a person, he’s a genius when it comes to music. He continued that with “Yeezus,” which is an intense album. It’s not an easy listen by any means, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth it. I do think that “Blood on the Leaves” was a bit of a missed opportunity, as he takes the Nina Simone rendition of “Strange Fruit,” which talks about lynchings, and twists it into a song about drug hookups and fame. Still, this album is powerfully progressive. It’s dark and intense.
LORDE
“Pure Heroine” Rating: 4/5 Release date: Sept. 27
This 17-year-old musician from New Zealand took over the airwaves with her “Royals” single from “The Love Club EP” — it’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t know that song. While the EP has some good songs on it, it was a relief when she released “Pure Heroine,” which also contains “Royals.” It’s a strong album and great for those rainy days where you want to slip into a trance. Her haunting vocals display some pretty mature lyrics that carry the album more than the beats, which are more minimal and far from surprising. Is this the start of the era of Lorde? If she continues to grow musically, it’s very possible.
FOXYGEN
“We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic” Rating: 4/5 Release date: Jan. 22
This album came out a few days after I landed in France for the Spring Semester, so listening to it now reminds me of many of the feelings I had in those first few weeks — and it’s not a negative. I listened to this album on repeat for days, especially the tracks “San Francisco” and “Shuggie.” A month or so later when I thought I had gotten “San Francisco” out of my head, I heard it while grocery shopping at Carrefour, and it just pulled me back in. Truly, it’s a perfect retro-rock piece. It’s hard to not like this solid album.
“Random Access Memories” Rating: 4.5/5 Release date: May 17
When I first heard the teaser for “Get Lucky,” I knew I was going to be hooked on “Random Access Memories.” I remember obsessively looking for the full song on the Internet before Daft Punk released it. The sheer amount of talent on this album is staggering, and while the robots are perfectly fine on their own, they couldn’t have picked better artists like Nile Rodgers, Giorgio Moroder, Panda Bear and Pharrell Williams to help out. The album came out near the end of my study abroad experience in Spring Semester, so I can’t help but feel melancholy whenever I listen to some of the tracks, especially “Fragments of Time.” The song is about exactly how I was feeling — I didn’t want to leave my friends and my new home. It’s a pretty cheesy song, but it gets that moment. The album is an epic of nearly 75 minutes, and it definitely takes you on a ride. It’s difficult to get through it without dancing — especially with “Get Lucky” and “Lose Yourself to Dance.” To top this album off, I even got to dance to “Get Lucky” in a massive discothèque in my host city, Rennes, France. I’ll never forget that energy.
TEGAN AND SARA “Heartthrob” Rating: 4/5 Release date: Jan. 29
Tegan and Sara is one of my favorite bands, so I was overjoyed when I learned the twins were releasing a new album. When “Closer” was ONLINE released, I instantly loved it, even though it was a departure from the band’s usual indie and gentle sound. Despite the overload of pop, I found it to be a fresh change. While I wasn’t as excited for “I Was a Fool,” which was leaked not too long afterward, it ended up growing on me. Rolling Stone called this album the duo’s For more “most commercial record of their career,” and reviews and that’s very true. It’s powerful and it’s acces- a full playlist sible. It almost feels like the album is a quick of the music, one because of how easy it is to listen to. It’s bit.ly/1jo43zG got the more pop songs, a bit of a power ballad and some pretty sad songs. While it’s not my favorite Tegan and Sara album, it’s still a good listen.

Seven colors. Seven parts. Seven visions. In a show that combines dance forms ranging from modern to ballet, Color of Motion explores how color can affect emotion and provoke thought through movement. In each of the seven segments of the show, a different color dictates the dance. Each choreographer chose the color and the angle they would take when designing the dance. “I came up with the theme and then left it up to the choreographers to come up with the color,” said artistic director Audra Sokol, an associate professor of dance. “Some were inspired to focus on mood and emotion like in blue, while others pursued the implications of the color in other cultures like in orange.” Sokol choreographed two of the segments: “Violaceous,” which is upbeat and inspired by purple, and “Grey,” which is

more serious and takes its color from its name. Since “Grey” is a duet, Sokol found herself focusing on the relationship between the dancers to give the dance a more intimate feel. Ball State brought in guest choreographers to help with some of the routines. “Alice
Blue Yonder” features guest choreographers Alex Springer and Xan Burley from Doug Varone and Dancers, which is based in New York. The piece is based on the personality of President Theodore Roosevelt’s daughter, whose favorite color was a pale azure.
“Alice found herself in this role of being a conservative role model, but she had a rebellious personality,” said Shelby Richardson, a junior dance major. “We are trying to portray that through our dance.” Another one of the choreographers is Susan Koper, an in-
Pierce Brosnan. More than 50 million people worldwide have seen the performance labeled as “the ultimate feelgood show,” according to Emens’ website. Harmon said he has yet to see the Hollywood adaptation. He said everyone always asks him how the stage show is different from the film, but he can never answer the question. He just tells people that the show is live while the movie is not. “I have nothing against the
movie,” he said. “I just haven’t gotten around to watching it. There is always more energy at a live show and seeing it live rather than watching a movie.” Freshman musical theater major Amanda Boldt has seen the performance once and said she loved it. “I love the show because it is really fun,” she said. “The music is all really energetic, and it lends itself to an interesting story that is enjoyable to watch. I feel like the stage show is dif-
ferent from the movie, but it all still makes sense to me.” Because of its themes of love and friendship, “Mamma Mia!” has been classified as a “chick flick.” Harmon said the show is something for everyone and while some people haven’t seen it, they’re familiar with it. “I think the male audience members can definitely connect with the dads in the show,” he said. “This is one of those shows that have a big cult following, and people come back
structor of dance, who chose to focus on the orange experience in her show titled “Between Red and Yellow in the Spectrum of Light.” Koper said the show explored the two sides of the color, from the crazy, playful, energetic side of orange to the softer side associated with Buddhism and Hinduism. “I try not to tell my audience the message, each person will take away something different,” Koper said. “That’s the beauty of dance.” Junior dance major Spencer Grady will perform in Koper’s orange section. “Doing the dance is really calm and peaceful for me,” Grady said. “It has a unique, abstract style to it. It’s very organic and different, like a breath of fresh air.”

LAST THREE GAMES
After a 0-3 start to the 2013 season, the Ball State women’s basketball team was left to question what it needed to change. The answer lied in practice. Head coach Brady Sallee said the team was sluggish and lacked focus in its preparation for opponents. Part of the problem, he said, was getting the team’s five freshmen up to speed. Sallee put too much focus on acclimating the group of young players to the college game. “I think the slippage was as

NCAA FOOTBALL
NEW COACH HIRED TO REBUILD MIAMI FOOTBALL TEAM Chuck Martin has a big rebuilding job to do. Martin got a five-year contract to try to restore Miami of Ohio’s football program, which is coming off a winless season. Notre Dame’s offensive coordinator was introduced as the next coach on Wednesday, taking over a team that went 0-12, only Miami’s fourth winless season since 1900. The 45-year-old coach is the latest addition to the “Cradle of Coaches,” a legacy that includes Ara Parseghian, who coached at Miami and Northwestern before winning national titles at Notre Dame. “Miami football tradition is coming back to where it has been for many, many years,” Martin said. “I was getting my hair cut the other day sitting in the same seat that Ara Parseghian sat in the day before. They said he was saying, ‘[Miami’s] got to get this right this time.’ I was so excited. He was talking about the job I was about to get.” – THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

much my fault as theirs,” Sallee said. “I put so much energy in those five freshmen and getting them caught up that those five returners slipped just a little bit.” The physical and mental demands put on freshmen can be “mind-boggling” early on in their careers, Sallee said. He said the approach to getting them on track should have been to coach his returners to lead the young players. Now with wins in two of its last three games, the team has seen an elevated level of competition in practice. Senior point guard
Brandy Woody said the jump in production was no coincidence. “It started with practice,” Woody said. “Everyone kind of came with more intensity, and then that showed in the game results.” Sallee said some of the change was a direct result of reminding his veterans of their responsibilities to push the freshmen, and bring a sense of urgency to the court. Woody said improvement in practice led to the wins over Detroit Mercy and Tennessee Tech, but it’s shown in the way players

have grown off the court as well. “It’s been a dramatic change,” Woody said. “Just their confidence and the way they go about practice, and communication skills. Just everything is improving — even the way they carry themselves. It’s been a night and day change.” Freshman guard Jill Morrison scored six three-pointers in the team’s last two games combined. She went four-of-five from the floor in the latter of the two, a big step up from the misses she’s posted in recent games. Early in the season, Woody said the team was inconsistent in time spent on shooting practice. It’s a task that players have to approach individually because
practice is spent on team drills. “If you’re not in the gym putting the work in, then obviously you’re not going to be confident in taking an open shot,” she said. Whether it’s in time spent in the team drills during practice or shooting after, the lead-
ership of the team is showing, and freshmen are slowly catching up. “I think those five returners have started practicing better,” Sallee said. “So you’ve seen the freshmen motivated to practice better.”

FALL SCHEDULE CONCLUDES AT MIAMI’S INVITE The Ball State women’s swimming and diving team is back in action this week, as the Cardinals travel to Miami University to participate in the Miami Invitational. The threeday event starts at 6 p.m. at the Nixon Aquatic Center. Along with Mid-American Conference opponent Miami, there will be teams such as Illinois, Cincinnati and Wright State. In their most recent event, the Cardinals defeated Grand Valley State and the University of Findlay at the 10th annual Doug Coers Invitational. The win gave Ball State its first victory, moving its record to 1-4 on the season. The team came away with four relay wins as well as 12 individual victories. Seniors Haley Richter and Emily Wisolek each had three individual wins, Bridgette Ruehl and Mallory Miles both had two, and Cheyanne Jackson and Carlena Magley each contributed with individual wins of their own. The Miami Invitational will be the Cardinals’ final meet of the fall schedule. The team will be off until Jan. 10, when they travel to Indianapolis to compete against IUPUI and Xavier.

HEALTH CARE: Year-long student workers, graduate assistants see most changes | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Howard said more than 81 percent of Ball State employees will not face changes to their hours during the measurement period, including any employee who has health benefits. John Knox, the student employment coordinator, said students are restricted to 20 hours a week during the regular academic year in order to receive an exemption from contributing to Social Security and Medicare. Students working in the summer, however, may see their hours cut, because the 20-hour a week restriction does not apply. “My concern is for students who work through the academic year and through the summer, like those who go to summer school and work for the university during that time,” Knox said.
Those students will likely exceed 1,560 hours a year, which is the threshold for when an employer has to provide health insurance. Graduate students have already seen a reduction in their hours during the evaluation period — instead of being able to work 10 hours in an oncampus job in addition to their 20-hour assistantship, they can now only work an extra nine hours per week. Knox said graduate students planning to work on campus during the summer may see cuts. “[The 30-hour a week rule] will greatly reduce the amount of time they can work over the summer, should they choose to,” he said. “[The calculation] will come out around 100 hours above the year hour allotment.” Knox said the university looks at Kronos records for total hours of student employment
to make sure students are in compliance with the mandate. He said the university will have more information about employee hours rules as the speculations are evaluated and put into practice during the summer. “During the course of summer months, it will be less of observation and more putting into practice what is anticipated to be the rule,” he said. “If we go over during the course of the month, then we have to reevaluate all of those positions.” Contract semester faculty and temporary employees will remain ineligible for benefits and have limits on the credit hours they can teach or hours they can work. Howard said they will reclassify between 40 to 60 part-time positions for health benefits in January 2015. These positions will require between 30 to 39 hours of service each week.

Shooting woes plague team in loss BASKETBALL: Valparaiso’s Lack of leadership, offensive cohesion frustrates Cardinals MATT McKINNEY SPORTS EDITOR | @Matt_D_McKinney
The diameter of the basketball rim at Worthen Arena is 18 inches. For the Ball State men’s basketball team Wednesday night, it seemed more like eight inches. Ball State shot 14-of-52 from the field in the 69-50 loss to Valparaiso. It was clear from the tipoff that the Cardinals would struggle to score in the game. On Ball State’s first possession, senior center Majok Majok was passed the ball down low. Immediately, Valparaiso defenders ran over to double Majok. He tried to drive across the baseline, but ran out of bounds for a turnover. “You’re going to have some nights where you’re 4-for4, you’re going to have some nights where you’re 0-for-4,� Ball State head coach James Whitford said. “There are other things about competing for 40 minutes, being able to execute on offense and do the things
that we’re trying to do every day that we didn’t do. That part I was really disappointed in.� After the game, senior forward Tyler Koch said the team had prepared to play in Valparaiso’s usual 2-3 zone, but was surprised by Valparaiso’s man defense at times. “They didn’t really play zone as much as we prepared for them,� Koch said. “That kind of threw us off. But that should’ve been to our advantage because we play against man every day in practice. You would think that would be to our advantage, but obviously we struggled.� One reason was Valparaiso bigs Moussa Gueye, Bobby Capobianco and Vashil Fernandez. Gueye, a 7-foot Senegal native, started the game at center, facing off against 6-foot9-inch Majok. Gueye disrupted Ball State drives and Majok post ups, but only played 17 minutes. His time was cut short due to foul trouble. Gueye fouled out with just under five minutes left in the game. When Gueye wasn’t in the game, he was replaced with Capobianco and Fernandez, both 6-foot-10-inch forwards. Ball State’s offense, spurred

by freshman point guard Zavier Turner, retook the lead, 20-19 with five minutes to go in the first half. Valparaiso then went on a 12-0 run to end the half. “We broke off too much stuff,� Whitford said. “Some of it was that we were rusty, having spent the last 48 hours on zone. We have to be able to go back and forth. Every team in the country does. We didn’t do it well tonight. And it was turnovers, which has been our Achilles’ heel.� Ball State had 14 turnovers in the game, equal to the

number of field goals it made. Senior guard Jesse Berry contributed for almost a third of them by himself with four. Whitford said when the score started to go against Ball State, the players began playing by themselves instead of with the team. “I want them to let that frustration out on the defensive end,� Whitford said. “But you can’t let it out on the offensive end like that because that leads to nights of 3-for-10 and 2-for-11. It’s not that you can’t score, it’s that you won’t be efficient doing it.�

“As it got frustrating, it got worst for us, not better,� Whitford said. “We lacked that guy that can say ‘hold up fellas, that’s not who we are.’� Ball State will travel to take on Marquette, Southern Illinois and James Madison to round out the 2013 calendar year. The next home game is slated for Jan. 3 against Oakland City.

Adekoya was a big reason why Ball State’s all-conference center Majok Majok finished with only five points and five rebounds. There were moments in the game where the Worthen crowd of 2,953 was largely quiet. Players were visibly exhausted at times as some were bent over with their heads in their chests. A lot of Ball State’s possessions were forced into one-onone matchups after the plays they ran did not work effectively. Players were caught relying on drawing fouls rather than finishing the play, which led to 14 turnovers. Ball State finished the game with eight assists total, Turner dishing out four of them. “It just seems like everyone is trying to do their own thing and it’s hurting us,� forward Tyler Koch said. Koch, one of six seniors on the roster, took partial responsibility for not pulling the team together in adversity.
