PARIS (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) — When Jean-René Fourtou became chairman of Vivendi in 2002, the French media group was in crisis.
Crippled with debt after the disastrous reign of the flamboyant Jean-Marie Messier, Vivendi’s survival was at stake.
Fourtou shed assets, reduced debt and turned around the company’s fortunes. It was some performance, tarnished only by allegations of insider trading levelled at him and his chosen successor, Jean-Bernard Lévy, Vivendi’s chief executive.
Today, those allegations were dismissed by the AMF because, under rules in force at the time, neither executive was guilty of any wrongdoing.
While a legal technicality, both men are now free to get on with their jobs.

In 1873 Mark Philips, son of Robert Philips and benefactor to the village during the Victorian times, built ‘The Philips and Trevelyan Institute’ (now known as ‘The Gables’) on an acre of land in Smiths Lane, Snitterfield. It was originally built for Henry Clutton, the architect of Welcombe House (which later became the Welcombe Hotel, Stratford) while he worked there.
When Sir George and Lady Caroline Trevelyan (daughter to Robert Needham Philips and niece to Mark Philips) took over Welcombe House, one of their first acts of benevolence to the village was to convert ‘The Institute’ for the use of the people of Snitterfield. An Institute Committee was formed and from that point, until when the building was sold, the house was rented from the Welcombe Estate for £7 per year, whilst also being supported by subscriptions.
In 1956, a fortnightly Library Service started to visit Snitterfield and, 50 years later, is still well frequented by villagers, when it stops outside the village hall and other areas of the village. The larger room of the Institute (at present 2, The Gables) was used as a news and reading room and was, also, available for concerts, whist drives and the village debating society. The billiards room (3, The Gables) was very well patronised and tables were available for chess with a bar, run for the sale of non alcoholic drinks. The grounds were levelled off to provide a bowling green and two tennis courts.
The caretaker lived in what is now 1, The Gables and for a short time the post office was run in the Institute by a Mr Moore from whom it was taken over by Mr Morgan (the caretaker at that time) until it was transferred to his house in School Lane.
In 1929, after the death of Lady Trevelyan, Robert Trevelyan (her son) and Mr Place offered to give the Institute as a free gift to the Parish Council. However, it was eventually decided that the Parish Council could not warrant the upkeep of ‘The Institute’ and that of the proposed Village Hall, so it was sold to a Mr Tullet of Birmingham and converted into the three dwellings.
The balance from the sale of the Institute, together with the furniture, was given for the use of the future hall (with a proviso that £50 should be devoted to the provision of a bowling green and tennis court). Robert Trevelyan also offered to give £500 for the building funds of the village hall either as an annexe to the Philips and Trevelyan Institute, or as a separate building. After much debate amongst the villagers it was decided to close the Institute and land on Bearley Road was purchased from Mr WT Chatterley for £50 as a site for the new hall, a bowling green and a tennis court (although in 1949 the ‘new’ tennis club was formed and two hard courts were then used at Ingon Grange).
That the Trust Deed rules relating to intoxicating liquor not being brought into the hall must be enforced.
That any person entering the Hall while under the influence of drink must be reported to the Parish Council, and he would be debarred from using the Hall for such time as decided upon by the Council.
That all damage and breakages to be paid for.
That stewards must remain on duty until close of the function.
On 21 January 1932, the Village Hall was formally opened by Mrs RC Trevelyan and the hall was filled with villagers and people from the surrounding district, concluding with the play ‘The Butterfly Queen’ by school children.
During the second world war, the village hall was used for numerous activities including a cinema show for the Warwickshire Troops; Home Guard parades and training (our very own ‘Dad’s Army’) and the making of camouflage netting (the nets were suspended from the great beams that cross below the roof of the room).
The Hall was also used for First Aid lectures, jam making by the Women’s Institute and as an emergency rest centre (with a cooking trench on the waste ground behind the hall). It is recorded that in 1940 the emergency centre was for homeless refugees with parties coming from Coventry and Birmingham at night to sleep on mattresses on the floor, being cared for by the Shelter Committee – one family, husband, wife and baby were ‘in residence’ for two months.
A plaque was presented to the village in 1946 by the ship’s company of HMS Verity in appreciation of kindness shown to their men by Snitterfield during the war and this is still mounted on the wall of the village hall.
Over the years the Village Hall has been used by many clubs and societies including the Bowls and Badminton Clubs and the Women’s Club (a forerunner to the Women’s Institute) who would organise an Old Folk’s Party in the hall at Christmas for every villager over 60 years of age.
In 1953 the hall was used to celebrate the Coronation of the Queen and again to celebrate her Silver and Golden Jubilees.

Despite discouraging results at the major league level in 2016 - Judge struck out in 42.2 percent of his 95 plate appearances in a 27-game cameo - the Yankees pitted him against Aaron Hicks last spring training with the winner set to claim the starting role in right field. Hicks made the decision difficult, but Judge prevailed. It is a vast understatement to say the Yankees made the correct call.
Based on his minor league resume and the small sample size in 2016, Judge delivered more than anyone expected in his first full season in the majors, hitting a rookie-record 52 home runs while compiling a .284 batting average, .422 on-base percentage, and .627 slugging percentage (171 OPS+). He scored an American League-high 128 runs, drove in another 114, and stole nine bases.
Judge is hardly an all-offense player as he delivered +9 in defensive runs saved in right field. He won the AL Silver Slugger Award, and was runner-up in the AL Most Valuable Player balloting.
And I'm telling you there is room for improvement?
Instinctively, you may believe that I'm going to languish over Judge's MLB-high 208 strikeouts last season. The strikeouts are an issue, however, I'm not sure there is an enormous amount of room for growth in that area. Judge's strike zone is exceptionally large, which clearly played against him both in called strikes and swinging strikes as he worked to adjust to some umpires' strike zones. This may not change in 2018.
However, Judge must alter his approach when pitchers change theirs on him quicker than he did in 2017. With a year of experience under his belt, he should have gained knowledge on how pitchers will try to contend with him, and recognize when hurlers are shifting their methodology again. Judge can improve his overall game by making adjustments in real time.
Teams will certainly try to take advantage of perceived flaws in Judge's swing, approach, and his simply dealing with a massive frame. Just as pitchers believed they would be ahead of Judge from 2016 to 2017, he has had plenty of time to be ready to offset their intentions at the outset of this season.
Judge's exceptionally good eye at the plate - he walked in 18.7 percent of his plate appearances last season - will continue to aid his abilities to get on base. The difference will be how long it takes Judge to change his process midseason when pitchers change their game plan again. Judge's ability to adjust quickly could be the difference between striking out 208 times and 178. He can wreak serious damage with 24 extra balls in play and six more walks.
Besides the fine batting eye, another aspect working in Judge's favor in 2018 is that the mostly young lineup around him has another year under their belts. Furthermore, MLB's 2017 home run leader, Giancarlo Stanton, is now a Yankee. With a difficult-to-navigate cast around him, Judge may see more balls over the heart of the plate.
There is one adjustment Judge, who will play most of 2018 at 26 years old, will have to make that has nothing to do with the pitches being thrown his way. He may not play in the field everyday. With Stanton aboard, the Yankees have discussed splitting time between the two gargantuan right fielders with time at designated hitter. There may also be some starts in left field for the pair.
Judge demonstrated in 2017 that he is a team player, so when he is asked to shift from right field on occasion, he'll smile and gladly do his part. At issue is whether he is capable of adapting to hitting while sitting on the bench between innings, or while learning a new position.
Holding Judge to his rookie season metrics as a standard is unfair, but dreaming on building from it is not necessarily far-fetched because of what he has already demonstrated. We must acknowledge that it is completely realistic that Judge settles in around 40-45 home runs in 2018, yet turns in a better overall season (think more runs created and a higher OPS+).
It's also plausible to suggest Judge may fail to reach 40 home runs and regresses across the board. Understand that a "regression" for him can resemble a .270/.390/.560 slash line with 35 homers, 100 runs and 100 RBI. How could anyone be upset with that?
I'm optimistic Judge will remain a strong contributor to the Yankees offense in 2018, and for years to come. Judge's key to equaling, or somehow surpassing, his 2017 measures is completely dependent on how and the speed to which he makes adjustments throughout the season.
If Judge stays ahead of pitchers, he can avoid a sophomore slump, but being realistic means a 60-homer season is far from a guarantee.

Tim Lambesis, the lead singer of US metal group As I Lay Dying, has pleaded guilty to plotting to hire a hitman to kill his wife.
Lambesis, 33, faces up to nine years in jail after he admitted handing an undercover police officer $1,000 (£600) and instructions to kill his estranged wife, Meggan.
Mrs Lambesis filed for divorce in 2012, claiming he had become emotionally distant, obsessed with bodybuilding, and could no longer be trusted to take care of their three adopted children.
She also learnt the singer was having an affair.
She said he had become irresponsible with money after spending thousands of dollars on tattoos. The prosecution alleged Lambesis wanted his wife killed after she threatened to deny him access to his children after the divorce, as well as seeking a large amount of money in a settlement.
An undercover operation to arrest Lambesis began after his personal trainer told police that Lambesis asked him at his gym if he knew anyone who could kill his wife.
He arranged for the singer to meet an undercover policeman, to whom Lambesis gave the money as well as a list of preferable dates to kill her.
Lambesis originally denied the charges. His lawyer then argued that his client was "devastatingly affected" by steroid use.
He is due to be sentenced on 2 May.
As I Lay Dying formed in 2000 and have released six albums, selling more than one million copies in total.
Their sixth album, 2012's Awakened, was released around the same time Meggan filed for divorce.
Lambesis said in a promotional interview: "On this record, I wasn't purposefully trying to be negative, but I think sometimes we have to be honest with some of the darker and more difficult times of our lives to get back to positivity."
Their 2007 single Nothing Left was nominated for a Grammy for best metal performance.

An increasing number of passengers accidentally crush their phone with the reclining mechanism of their seat. The growing rate of these incidents, resulting in the damaged battery going into thermal runaway and igniting a fire, has seen major carriers review chair designs and update safety videos; warning passengers not to move their seat if they lose their electronic device.
Passengers packing spare and loose batteries into checked luggage remains a constant threat to aviation safety despite widespread warnings. The most serious of these breaches occurred in 2014 when undeclared lithium batteries short-circuited in a passenger’s checked bag, igniting a fire in the aircraft’s cargo hold before passengers boarded the flight from Melbourne to Fiji.
Spare batteries not contained within equipment must be in carry-on luggage with their terminals protected. At no point are spare batteries, regardless of size, allowed in checked luggage.
Passengers requiring oxygen for medical purposes must contact their airline before travelling. While medically required oxygen canisters are allowed on aircraft, travellers must gain approval from their operator before flying so the airline can ensure cylinders, valves or regulators fitted on the cylinder are protected from damage.
To help educate the travelling public about the dangers associated with these items, we released the ‘Can I pack that?’ Dangerous Goods App in 2014, telling passengers what they can and can’t pack in their luggage. And, if it can be brought aboard, guide them on how to do it safely.
Can I pack that? Dangerous goods app - This helps travellers work out what they can and can’t pack in their luggage, and if an item can be brought on board, how to do it safely.
Battery safety - This page has information on how to travel with batteries and how to protect against short-circuiting as well as calculating watt-hours.
Dangerous goods page - This page has general information about dangerous goods and how they can be transported.

Time to settle down: The new parole headquarters at 15 Second Ave. will host fewer parolees, temporarily, thanks to a settlement with neighbors.
Meadows of Shame: Plans for Kentile Floors sign restoration revealed!
The state has agreed to dramatically reduce the number of former prisoners reporting to the new parole headquarters in Gowanus as part of a court settlement with activists who sought to block the project.
The settlement is a win for residents and business owners who organized under the banner of the group Gowanus United and sued. They argued that an environmental study hadn’t been done and that a zoning variance allowing for the new three-story building at the Gowanus Canal end of Second Avenue to have fewer parking spaces than required should be overturned. The agreement mandates that the state limit parolees reporting to the new center to 2,000 for at least two years, and create a program to spread the offices for the remaining 4,000 around the borough, according to a joint press release.
A local business leader praised the agreement, saying it is a neighbor-friendly compromise.
The settlement also stipulates that representatives of the Department of Corrections meet regularly with area residents.
Harboring goodwill among locals is in line with the project of reintegrating ex-offenders into society, a parole honcho said.
“The seamless transition of parolees to their home communities, as well as effective supervision plans developed by our parole officers, is best done when we have good community partners who share our interest in assisting offenders in becoming good citizens and neighbors,” said Deputy Commissioner for Community Supervision Tom Herzog in a statement.
The department did not release any details about possible locations for satellite parole offices.
We first reported plans for the new parole headquarters in July, but state officials and the Bloomberg administration signed off on the project in secret in 2013. The new facility was supposed to replace the three parole offices Downtown. Upon learning of the move, neighbors and pols blasted the state for keeping it under wraps, and said they worried that former prisoners would bring crime to the area, which, though largely industrial, also includes some housing. Business leaders and the administrator of the local community board also argued that the office would erode industrial building-use protections.
Gowanus United coalesced out of a series of packed community meetings, and sued in November.
Basile praised representatives of the corrections department for eventually coming to the table.
The headline here is misleading. This is not temporary. This decrease in the number of parolees reporting is a step toward decentralization of the function, which is a national trend in criminal justice. Should NYS ever increase beyond the 2,000 (temporary or permanent) they will be alerting the community. No reason to believe this is meant as a temporary measure.
Now all the sites that were considered for this function but escaped it now must be wary.

I'm always thinking about what's in store for the future, and the same goes for Constraction. Bionicle has a projected run through 2017, and whether or not it makes it past that, I'll always be wondering what will come next.
So basically, what sorts of themes would you like to see come out of Constraction? Reboots? New ideas?
Personally, I do love Hero Factory, but I have my doubts that it'll return.
There's one thing I've heard tossed around among the community in the past, and that's the return of Exo Force. I would love to see Exo Force come back as a Constraction line, giving us CCBS mechs piloted by minifigs. I also really want to see system parts integrated into CCBS, so it'd be cool if that could happen. Like, give us brick-built playsets that included CCBS mechs. A bit of everything!
So, what are your ideas?
This. So, so much this. Maybe with a few transforming mechs as well?
Frankly, I'd like to see Constraction show up in Dimensions somehow.
I would also like some truly "fantasy" line, without sci-fi in the mix (I don't count Chima because of the vehicles and Speedorz). Alternatively, a Roboriders-type story in a version of Cyberspace.
Ha ha ha ha no.
As I had mentioned in the past I wouldn't mind if we got a reboot of hero factory. It had a very good premise that I loved, just the actual story line itself was not that good. Also the sets were good for their time, but compared to constraction figures of today they only hold up okay. It'd be nice if they started to introduce more members of the alpha team and rotated their cast frequently.
Now I would also like to see some sort of mech style thing happen with constraction. The sets could look cool and the mocs would more than likely be unbelievable.
Overall constraction is my favorite series from LEGO so I'll be excited and support whatever comes out in the future for the line.
Some of the past in-house constraction themes like Slizer and Hero Factory may have been reasonably popular, but I don't know if any besides Bionicle were phenomenal enough to really justify a reboot.
I could easily imagine constraction "spin-offs" of popular in-house IPs like Ninjago and Nexo Knights, as well as giving licensed Super Heroes constraction sets another shot.
I'd love to see constraction sets of a girl-oriented line like Elves, possibly with some more "fashion doll" design cues, but I'm not sure how feasible that'd be or how you'd pull it off. It's hard for me to gauge the doll market — it seemed to be experiencing a boost around when Monster High debuted, but last I've heard it's kind of stagnated a bit since then. And seamlessly integrating that kind of dress-up play with conventional LEGO building play might be difficult.
Overall I'm not sure how realistic it is to see a whole lot of growth in the constraction category in general, even though I know the future of the CCBS is definitely something the LEGO Group is looking intently at as they move forward. The constraction category's sales have been largely decreasing for over a decade, and while secondary lines like the new Star Wars figures might help justify its continued existence, I don't know if they'll be enough to reverse the category's decline in the long run.
I'm also wondering whether at some point the LEGO Group might see more value in exploring action figure type models constructed from System elements, instead of keeping a separate parallel building system around strictly for the purpose of action figure building. There are a lot more parts suited to that purpose now than there used to be. Buildable figures like Groot and the Sentinel from LEGO Super Heroes and Sparkks and Burnzie from LEGO Nexo Knights somewhat illustrate the possibilities of this, and I expect to see further evolutions of this concept in the future.
A line based around non-humanoid builds like Slizers or one based around mech like IfB would be really fun. Especially if they had non-traditional colors and elemental powers.
I like the idea of Minifigure scale mech builds that come with both a minifigure and a CCBS style mech. Seeing how much minifigure collecting is driving the Lego market right now would be a good thing for CCBS, especially if the mech's were piloted by cool figures.
I also hope more Sytstem and Technic compatibility is showcased with future CCBS sets. We have seen a few official sets using all three systems together (Hulkbuster comes to mind at least with System and CCBS in the same set); but I think it would be good for Lego to showcase how well all their building methods combine.
Another cool idea for a theme would be something insect/alien or at least organic based. It might be time for constraction to ditch the robot focus and try and do something new and drastically different. Slizers-RoboRiders-Bionicle-Hero Factory-Bionicle G2 are all very cyborg/robot based themes and it is high time for a change in style.
Personally, I'm all for some sort of CCBS non-humanoid-based line, maybe some sort of alien society. Essentially, what you'd get if you removed the humans and humans with cosmetic surgery from the star wars universe.
Either that, or something built in a similar manner to Mixels, but with larger builds as well. Perhaps with some sort of ball on top of a plate piece to allow for the figures to connect to playsets.
If Lego ditches full constraction lines entirely, I may just ditch Lego entirely.
While I like the figures of their system lines, there aren't constant waves of them, which makes them less desirable in my opinion.
I'm for Slizers 2.0, baby!
I think my biggest "dislike" of Hero Factory, looking back, was humanoid characters. If we're going sci-fi, I want full sci-fi. Slizers were awesome because they weren't human. Same with the Toa, in a way. But ultimately I wouldn't mind a Hero Factory reboot either.
I'd like to see a line of Metroid figures. Samus and Mother Brain would change nicely into CCBS.
I would enjoy something similar to the knights line. I would love to see some medieval CCBS parts.
Whatever comes next, I hope it's not a cut-price Bionicle. Hero Factory had its moments, but it seemed shackled by the shadow of its illustrious predecessor.
Something rather offbeat, perhaps Manga/Anime-inspired, would be lovely.
Reboot Robo-Riders as Lego's answer to Transformers? I can see the transformations and action features utilizing heavy technic.
I am unsure if Exo-Force can work since Ninjago handles the Mech side of things.
I heard the popularity of Monster High shows girls would enjoy a series with overt scifi-fantasy themes. so perhaps a girl's constraction line could be like Sailor Moon or something.
how well did Bionicle's playsets from 2005-2007 do? because the got rid of them in 2008 but I enjoyed the concept of giving my favorite figures actual buildings and environments to fight in. maybe a future constraction theme could have a system sub-theme that can allow for two levels of play: one-on-one with the figures and I dunno roleplay with the minifig scale settings.
and on somewhat of a tangent do you think Bionicle would work well as a system line? all those exotic locales can make excellent playsets.
also do those Technic Figures count? because I enjoyed making vehicles for those and I can totally see a new buildable version that is compatible with CCBS ball joints and the minifig scale clip joints.
also maybe a UCS type theme that uses the galidor style rachet joints for stability allowing for bigger and more detailed figures.
Just no more rehashes please, something new and original.
However I'm totally all for a return of DC and Marvel figures. There's even more possibilities with those two themes than there is with Star Wars, and I think Lego has gotten a better grip on things and could deliver better figure than what we previously saw.
I think it might be neat if they did a constraction-based line of buildable insects. I'm all for a constraction/technic praying mantis!
Winter: one small insect set and one small crustacean, plus one medium-sized insect and a large crustacean, or vice-versa.
Winter: one small insect or crustacean, plus one medium-sized insect or crustacean (the one that wasn't the large set in the winter) plus a large extinct arthropod or panarthropod.
So, for example, we could get a $10 fly, a $15 copepod, a $20 butterfly and a $30 mantis shrimp in the winter and a $10 tick, a $20 wasp and a $30 Anomalacaris in the summer.
It could also be nice to see a scifi line where the arbitrarily earth animal-like protagonists are based on arthropods.
Buildable insects reminded me: Remember the brick-built Dino line from back in the day? How about Constraction Dinos? That would be sweet.
If there's a theme that utilizes CCBS and Technic in the way the 2016 Bionicle and Star Wars Buildable Figures did, along with some neat uses of the CCBS system (like modernized versions of the uses we saw in the Savage Planet and Breakout Waves of Hero Factory), I'll be greatly satisfied. I want to see something that will take the good from every constraction theme this far, and add onto it.
Yeah. And people have been clamoring for feather add-on pieces for a while, so that would be a nice opportunity to introduce them.
Expanding it to all animals, not just arthropods and dinosaurs would force them to start making more organic-looking sets. That would be nice to see. Scale, hair and feather add-ons would be a given, anms would more natural colors, browns, earthy colors, and other colors we don't have much of yet.
Last night I actually had a dream about Bionicle ending and Lego announcing a new construction theme. The first wave only had two sets: A female centaur and a large turquoise crab-like creature. Each set had a new piece that made a randomized sound every time you pressed a button on it.
I'd buy that. Especially the turquoise crab.

What can we do as a culture to boost our physical atmosphere as well as make our residences greener? Those that are current occupants of the City of Miami do not understand what it resembled to live below or in the Caribbean in the 1950’s or 60’s. My household utilized ahead as well as trip below in the 60’s. We had actually originated from Cuba in 1961 as well as went up north, however we came below one or two times a year vacationing. In the 50’s or in the very early 60’s nobody had main air-conditioning. Lots of people would certainly have home window or wall surface A/C systems in their residences. As well as lots of homes did not have air-conditioning in any way.
So just how were homes made after that? Well, the majority of residences were developed permanently cross air flow. They had either jalousie or awning home windows. Either of these permitted the whole home window to be opened up for winds to find through, rather than single-hung or straight moving home windows which just open half-way. Ceilings were high and also frequently had ceiling followers. Although many homes had no insulation, in between the high ceiling as well as go across air flow the summer season warmth was manageable. In position like Cuba where there were constantly crosswinds from the sea, the summer seasons were much more enjoyable.
I bear in mind when I lived at the sorority home at Georgia Tech in Atlanta while misting likely to Style College, there was no air-conditioning in your house. We made due with an entire residence extractor follower on the 2nd flooring, as well as truthfully, a lot of the moment, this secured a lot of the warmth in your home, making the sorority home fairly habitable, also throughout Atlanta’s steamy summertime days. Read more here arcviet.vn/mau-nha-pho-dep/.
One more information which great engineers considered was the alignment of your house as well as security of the wall surfaces and also home windows. In our Southeast area of the United States, the sunlight is practically never ever in the north other than throughout some days in the wintertime. The sunlight increases in the eastern as well as embeds in the west and also goes a little to the south as it crosses the skies from eastern to west from daybreak to sunset. This suggests that the eastern, west, and also southern direct exposures of a home demand overhangs. Windows on the west demand to be prevented as western sunlight is the most popular of the day. Furthermore, the sunlight casts deep darkness. Being beside these home windows is really uneasy in the mid-day. Windows on the eastern direct exposure are most invited as the sunlight in the morning is extremely enjoyable.

Etherchannel is a port aggregation feature that allows for the bonding together of two or more switch ports into a logical interface. The logical port, with the combined capacity of the individual ports, is then used to carry layer two frames or layer three packets, depending on the configuration. Multiple interfaces can be combined using one of these port aggregation protocols: PAgP or LACP. In this post, we will look at each protocol and its configuration method for layer 2 etherchannel.
Link Aggregation Control Protocol is an industry standard 802.3ad aggregation protocol that allows for the combination of the bandwidth capacity of multiple switch ports into a single logical interface for load balancing and redundancy. It is available on both Cisco and non-Cisco switches. All participating ports in a single logical interface must have the same settings such as duplex mode, speed and must all the either access or trunk ports. LACP allows for the aggregation of up to 16 switch ports but only a maximum of 8 can be active at a time while the remaining 8 will be in standby mode. LACP can be configured either in active or passive mode. Active mode means the channel interface will actively try to negotiate interchannel bonding while passive will only responds to a request for an etherchannel bonding but will not initiate the process.
To successfully configure etherchannel bonding between two Cisco switches using LACP as the aggregation protocol, the following configuration commands are required: In this demonstration, we are going to establish an etherchannel bonding between switches 1 and 2, using three fast ethernet ports on both switches. This will provide a bandwidth capacity of 300Mbps between both switches instead of the 100Mbps provided by a single port.
have a P in front of it.
The show etherchannel command will show you the mode of etherchannel running on the switch (if it is layer 2 or 3) as well as the number of ports participating in the etherchannel and the aggregation protocol. See output from sh etherchannel command.
Port Aggregation Protocol is a Cisco proprietary protocol that does the exact same thing as LACP but with a slight difference. PAgP only runs on Cisco routers and a few of other vendors’ equipment who have the license to run PAgP. Unlike LACP which allows for up 16 ports to be aggregated in which only eight can be active at a time while the remaining eight are placed on standby mode, PAgP allows for a maximum of eight active ports with no standby features.
The configuration of PAgP is the same as LACP only that the available channel modes are desirable and auto. For PAgP etherchannel bonding to be negotiated between two switches, one side has to be desirable while the other is either desirable or auto. The link will not come up if both sides are configured for auto.

The other week I was invited down to the Black Swan, on Call Lane Leeds, to try out their new winter to spring menu. Being someone who never passes up on a good meal, I was eager to see what was on offer. I also got to spend the evening with some of my lovely blogger friends.
We were first treated to some starters which were quickly devoured. I stuck to the vegetarian option for this, which was the leek and pearl barley risotto. This was really tasty and something I would of actually liked to of tried as main meal.
The main dishes arrived which were spinach and ricotta gnocchi, sea bass and pork cheek. I’m really not much of a meat eater and really just stick chicken, turkey etc so the pork just wasn’t for me. I tried some of the sea bass and the vegetarian dish which were lovely. I had never tried sea bass before and was surprised by how much I liked it, the combination of the butternut squash purèe and roasted squash, baby leek and mushroom filled pasta was a dream.
Now this is where my full blown diva moment came in. Any other bloggers out there worked a full day, go to an event and you still leave hungry? Yeah I can’t deal with that, I go full blown h-angry hulk mode. And so I was brought another dish (after a little persuasion) which happened to be my favourite of the night. This lovely spiced courgette and tomato lasagne was pretty special, it came complete with courgette and pumpkin seed salad plus vegetable crisps. My mouth is actually watering thinking about it.
We were brought three desserts to share around the table, these included the dark chocolate tart, spiced rum poached pineapple and stewed rhubarb and ginger crème brulee. Although I’m not usually a fan of pineapple, I loved it in this incarnation. Funny that, all they had to do was drown it in rum. I would say that the Black Swan is perfect for a meal with friends, you could share some starters and enjoy the rustic charm of the interiors.

Gerard van Spaendonck, Still Life of Flowers in Alabaster Vase, 1783, oil on canvas, 80 × 64 cm (Amsterdam: Rijksmuseum).
The Rijksmuseum has procured a painting by Gerard van Spaendonck, the most famous painter of floral still lifes of the second half of the 18th century. It was a long-cherished wish of the museum to include in its collection an important work by this Dutch painter of international renown. The Rijksmuseum’s director Taco Dibbits describes this painting as “a radiantly beautiful acquisition.” The purchase of Still Life of Flowers in an Alabaster Vase from a gallery in Paris for €900,000 was made possible in part by participants in the BankGiro Lottery. The painting is now on display in Gallery 1.11.
Gerard van Spaendonck (1746–1822) was born in the southern Dutch city of Tilburg and settled in Paris in the 1760s. He gained fame not only as a painter of floral still lifes, but also as the illustrator of the French king’s botanical collection, a highly prestigious position. He was a leading and active figure in the Parisian art world and a teacher of countless French and foreign artists. Gerard van Spaendonck did not make a great number of paintings, instead devoting much of his time to his watercolours of plants, and to his students. He is nonetheless considered to be his era’s best painter of flowers.
Gerard van Spaendonck exhibited this floral still life at the Salon de 1783 in Paris, and it received great praise from critics, including compliments for his lifelike depictions of insects. The painting shows a bouquet of flowers in an alabaster vase standing atop a marble block on which children are depicted in relief. The painter’s studio window can be seen reflected in the polished surface of the vase. The flowers that feature in this painting include large white and smaller pink peonies, blue delphiniums, purple lilacs, and yellow and purple flamed tulips. Insects can be seen dotted about, and five green blackbird eggs lie in the nest on the right. Even the wicker basket seems almost real enough to touch.

A few weeks ago I received a comment from Trials N Tresses via my mirror website asking if they could do a feature story on me in regards to my natural hair journey. My mirror website is: MsJazz79.wordpress.com. I responded back via my website and didn't receive a response. So then I read their message again and actually followed directions that time and emailed them a response. The next day they sent me an email with questions they wanted answered in regards to my experience. I answered the questions with a few hours and emailed them back along with a few pictures.
They informed me that my story would be posted and it was yesterday. I had fun writing it up and hope you enjoy reading.

Richard P. H. Greenfield (trans.), Niketas Stethatos: The Life of Saint Symeon the New Theologian. Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library, 20. Cambridge, MA; London: Harvard University Press, 2013. Pp. xxv, 422. ISBN 9780674057982. $29.95.
Saint Symeon the New Theologian became well known only in the last century. That he is known at all is due to the labours of Niketas, a monk of the Stoudios Monastery, who towards the end of his life became its superior. It was in 1052, seventeen years after St Symeon's reminding Niketas, in a dream, of his neglected promise to compose a Life, that Symeon was recognized as a saint and his relics translated to the capital. It seems to have been a pyrrhic victory: Symeon's star soon declined, and his works were little read. Even the renewed interest in Symeon during the hesychast controversy in the fourteenth century seems to have been inspired by a rare copy of Niketas' Life, rather than any profound knowledge of the saint's own works.
There is more to Niketas than his role in the cult of St Symeon, though that role was not simply as a propagandist for Symeon's understanding of monasticism and the Christian life. It has often been remarked that Niketas' Life presents a more Studite picture of Symeon than is likely to have been the case. That was probably not only a sensible tactic in promoting such a controversial, indeed tiresome, figure as Symeon the New Theologian; it reflects Niketas' own monastic commitment, for he seems to have been, all his life, a monk of the Monastery of Stoudios. Niketas' connexion with Symeon, however, as has again often been remarked, cannot have been very great: if Symeon died in 1022, as is generally agreed, Niketas can have known him for no more than a few years. Nevertheless, it was to Niketas, the young monk who had copied the rough drafts of the Saint's writings, that Symeon entrusted the task of composing his life, though the fact that it needed a post mortem visitation a dozen or so years later to spur him into action maybe suggests no great enthusiasm on Niketas' part!
As a monk of the Stoudios monastery, Niketas had continued the traditions of that monastery, not least in noisy criticism of the Emperor Constantine IX Monomachos' publicly keeping a mistress, for which he earned the epithet, stethatos, 'stout-hearted'. As well as being the biographer of Symeon the New Theologian, he was like him a spiritual writer of some note. He also engaged in polemic: against Keroularios, who had objected to the monk-deacons (hierodeacons) of the Stoudios wearing liturgical belts; against the Jews, as well as the Armenians; and against the Latins (though Cardinal Humbert claimed that he was won over by the Latins and became a good friend: a likely story, one might think). In the Philokalia of St Makarios of Corinth and St Nikodimos of the Holy Mountain (published 1782), there are included three 'centuries' by Niketas—collections of a hundred chapters, a popular monastic genre—on the spiritual life. The fact that they were included in the Philokalia presumably indicates some tradition of reading him on the Holy Mountain (in contrast, the writings of St Symeon included in that anthology are slight and/or spurious). Some more works were discovered in the last century and published. They include the polemical works referred to above, some letters, a short treatise on that ever-popular topic in Byzantine philosophy, on the terms of life —περὶ ὅρων ζωῆς—and a trilogy consisting of On the Soul, On Paradise, and On the Hierarchies.
There is more, then, to Niketas than his involvement with St Symeon, but nonetheless it was that association that was to prove most important. It was due to him that the Saint's works were published, and maybe due to Niketas that Symeon was canonized at all: the Life seems to have been part of the canonization process. This Life was first published in a critical edition by Irénée Hausherr, with a French translation by Gabriel Horn, in 1928. In 1994, the Greek scholar, Symeon Koutsas, produced another critical edition with a modern Greek translation. Neither of these is easy of access, so, for this reason alone, this new translation, with a facing Greek text, by Professor Greenfield welcome. There are further reasons to welcome this publication: the translation is excellent; the text, based on Hausherr and Koutsas, combines the virtues of both; the introduction and notes are both concise and informative. Professor Greenfield is well abreast of the available literature on both Niketas and Symeon, though he makes no use that I could find of the valuable account of Symeon's life and theology by Alexander Golitzin (to be found, rather oddly, in volume 3 of his translation of the Ethical Discourses, listed by Greenfield in his bibliography).
It has become the tradition to play down the significance of Niketas' Life, on the grounds that Niketas hardly knew Symeon, seems keen to increase his own stock by exaggerating his association with the Saint, and tends to assimilate Symeon to the tradition of the Stoudios Monastery to which Niketas was so strongly attached (though Symeon's formative years had been spent in the Stoudios Monastery, too). Instead, we have been encouraged to base our understanding of the life of the Saint on his own treatises. Professor Greenfield quietly points out that Niketas was not just the biographer of St Symeon, but his editor: any access we have to the saint has been fingered by Niketas. It is a point that needs to be heeded.
Greenfield's notes are brief and helpful, particularly over the precise meaning of the Greek text (his occasional corrections of other scholars are quietly deft). At one point, however, I felt that he could have said a little more. One long section of the Life is concerned with Symeon's defence, before the patriarchal court, of his veneration for his spiritual father, also called Symeon (indeed from whom Symeon took his name): veneration which included the making of an icon of his spiritual father. Symeon defends his action by citing the passage from Basil the Great's On the Holy Spirit, in which it is stated that honour offered to the image extends to the prototype. In the iconodule Fathers, this invariably meant that venerating the image of the saint is tantamount to venerating the saint (though in most cases, it is the icon of Christ that is in question). For Symeon, this passage is cited to assert that the veneration offered to the icon passes to the saint, and then to Christ Himself, for the human is created in the image of God, and in the saint this image has become manifest. It is an interesting, and profound, extension of the iconodule argument.
This volume is, then, to be warmly welcomed. It provides access to a work of manifold importance for eleventh-century Byzantium and the Byzantine ascetical tradition, improves on the earlier published versions, and is embellished by immensely helpful, and discreet, notes. Furthermore, like the other volumes in this series, it is beautifully printed and produced, despite the very modest price.

Comparing yourself with others you won't lead you to anything good. If you win in this comparison - you get feeling of the superiority. Otherwise, you censure people if they are winning. Then your self-esteem just descends. How to teach yourself not to do that? How to begin living without this 'headache'? Here are a few examples of how people spoil their mood by comparing themselves with others, even with strangers, consciously or not.
People upload photos to a social network which present the most successful and the happiest moments of their lives. You won't notice those pictures with the comments "We had a huge quarrel", "I am depressed" or "I did not pass the interview and decided to get drunk at the nearest bar". In general, there are only good moments: lying on the beach, a tasty dinner, yoga, jogging, party, etc.
It seems that person has very rich and colorful life. If you often visit social networks, looking at all funny moments in lives of your friends and acquaintances, you may get uncontrolled self-esteem falling down.
"Why do I not go to such restaurants that serve these nice meals?" "Why do I not travel and do not have such a perfect body?" You compare the moments of your life with someone else's, but why? Do they have to be better? Does one's happiness depend on better or worse these moments of your life?
No, happiness is dependent on the adoption of the present moment rather than the desire to do what the other person did. In fact, to be happy we do not need to be better than anyone else or in someone's eyes. To be happy, you need to accept where you are, what you do and who you are. Comparison does not add happy moments to our lives; on the contrary, it makes us envious, angry. It forces us to dream about what we do not need at all.
People love to condemn others, in one way or another. People doing sport and who do not have excess weight, look at fat people who eat in the "McDonald's" with condemnation. People with stable earnings condemn those who have to borrow money from time to time. Particularly, among people who are accustomed to condemn, are those who suffered from bad habits before, but have overcame them.
Former smokers, those who got rid of alcohol dependence or constant consumption of unhealthy food. They denigrate those who still did not do what they have done already and often say: "Why are they so weak-willed!", "They have no self-control", "They let their bad habits to control them!"
And together with that righteous indignation, the feeling of superiority over others comes. However, as it was mentioned earlier, it does not lead to happiness. The animadversion results in the fact that you start treating this person as an unpleasant one. Your attitude towards them begins to be negative; you feel disappointment and even disgust.
We would like to see other people doing something in order to improve their lives, as we do. People generally tend to put themselves in the place of other people, so we always think that we know what will be better for another person. But we all are wrong here.
Even if you do this with a close relative, in fact, you can't always guess what they want without directly talking about their wishes. Why just not to try to understand the other person? I am sure that if you desire it you can understand absolutely all. When you understand the other person, this dislike will disappear and you will see another better part of this life.
You are a good person, just like the other people are. Accept yourself for who you are. Try to understand and not to condemn. When you notice that you are disappointed by someone - stop judging. Once you start taking all these things into consideration, your life will get better with no doubts.

Dinner time has never been easier with a Whirlpool® electric oven that not only has the flexibility you need to cook multiple dishes, but also makes cleanup hassle-free. Whether you're cooking with a small pan or a large pot, the large capacity 4.8 cu. ft. counter depth range's FlexHeat dual radiant element expands to match your needs, so you can enjoy having three elements in one. And when dinner time is over, the range's easy wipe ceramic glass cooktop makes taking care of spills easy.
I bought this model, because I did not want a self-cleaning oven. Everything I read online and in the brochure says don't use your self cleaning oven. I had a self-cleaning oven on the previous stove, and it ruined the glass in my door, and burned out the filaments in the stove when I use the self-cleaning oven. This stove works just fine for my need. It cooks and bakes. The only downside is the control knobs that indicate the burner is on. The markings could've been a little darker. I used a pan to put a dot so that I could see where I have the dial.
This range had every feature I was looking for and for a really great price.
If I were rating price to value this would be five stars. First, installation was a breeze and everything works. This range is a for a short-term rental unit and hits the mark. People on vacation generally don't cook, they most reheat so a high end unit would be wasted. Second, the fit and finish is surprisingly good for a unit in this price range. Lastly, I'm a really satisfied Whirlpool customer. At my own home I've got Jenn-Air and Whirlpool appliances. They're really dependable.
I have had my range for about 2 weeks now and so far I love it! I wasn't sure I would like the flat top but I love it! !
Replaced 15 year old stove and like night and day for heating speed.
It's great to have a stove that really works.
This stove is an excelllent stove for the price. It isn't a self cleaning model, but I opted for that. I can clean my own oven. It works great. I am so glad that I purchased this model.
We bought this in January 2017, to replace a 20 year old Roper that came with the house. We do like the flat surface a lot, and found it easy to clean. We were able to clean off some burnt mess with a razor blade. The oven heats well and cooks thoroughly.
From start to finish, this was a very easy transaction. Appliance works great.
I am extremely satisfied and happy with this stove.
Love the color and the easy use. Also the stove sits back in the space to make the kitchen look larger. The microwave fits perfect in the space and matches the stove. Hope to buy the fridge to match soon.
I bought this basic glass cooktop stove for a great price. It does everything I need it to do. I'm very happy with it. It fits better than my old one too. My old one stuck out past the counter.
I am so glad that we decided to upgrade our stove. We went from a 4 burner electric element to a smooth glass top 4 burner. Very neat looking with dials are very clear and easy to understand. And what a difference in cooking time. Heats up quickly. Haven't used the oven yet but I'm sure it works as well as the burners.
I bought this product and am totally satisfied. I made the right choice.
My element went out on my old stove and Whirlpool was there to save me. Had all whirlpool products when I lived in FL and am 1 more on the way to a Whirlpool home here in GA. Thanks for making great and affordable products.
This range is the perfect size for my beach house. I have a flat surface in my home and I was very pleased to find this one for the beach house.
Both stove for our rental home. It's a great stove was priced reasonably and works great.
I got this like two months and it works great so far.
We needed to replace a 14 year old range that had served us very well.We did not want stainless steel because of the fingerprints and keeping stainless clean issues. Our range is in white. The oven is very large and bakes and broils better than we expected. It is easy to keep clean. Everything that we had in our old storage drawer fit in the new one with a little room to spare. The elements heat up quickly and provide even and accurate heat. Definitely recommend this range.
Im very happy with my new whirlpool range. Easy to maintain and looks great.
Bought this few weeks ago when I bought whirlpool refrigerator with some hesitation. My old hotpoint model was "old" but still functional and never had an issue other than cleaning the pan underneath the coil. I bought this thinking cleaning will be easy breezy ( true) but the cooling of glass top takes forever. Also I may point out cooking of oven makes noisy crakling sound ( scared me before I figured it was coming from this). Other than that stove does what it's designed to do. An okay purchase.
Oven temps are holding correctly, The stove top has 4 burners and the glass top cleans well. I can easily clean it myself and the savings is well worth it.
This Stove is just great. I love the solid service, it is much easier to clean. It cooks things much quicker. Just wonderful. I would recommend it to anyone.
Bought this for a replacement for a burned out stove. Other than "Magilla Gorilla" put on one of the screws I had to remove to hook up the power cable, it works great when I plugged it in.
I'm very happy with my new range. Food comes out of the oven Perfect. I cook for my entire family and in laws for thanksgiving every year. This range is top notch!
We bought this stove the same time we bought the Whirlpool Refrigerator. Love the stove's flat top!! The oven works great!
Great looking appliance for a great price. Very happy with my purchase.
I bought this to replace a black stove with burners. My other appliances are white and in good condition, so I wanted a white stove with a glass top. Makes a nice change or my kitchen.
We bought this range about a month ago and so far, we have no complaints and love it. We needed a new stove and believe Whirlpool is a better brand than most.
I don't like the dials for the cooktop. I can't see the beige lines on them. I have by mistake turned the dials on high instead of low, resulting in burned food. The oven runs hot also. I have burned food on the bottom even though the temperature in set at what the recipe calls for. What do you recommend? I have other Whirlpool appliances that I am happy with. That's why I bought this range when we updated our kitchen.
We bought this for a friend of ours, because he loves our's. We have the white top, he got the black top. We both love our stoves and look forward to many years of good service!
I purchased this for my new home because it was cheap & looked great with my other appliances. It works great and has awesome features. Very easy to clean and makes life in the kitchen much easier.
Always wanted smooth top! A little hard to get use too! Love it!
i bought less than month ago and love it.
I bought it last month and I am very happy with it.
As I am visually impaired the only problem I have with this oven is the controls are hard to see so I have to use a magnifier but other than that it is a great stove.
I bought this less than a month ago and couldn't be happier.

Thanks to my Dad, I was exposed to computers growing up. I played games on our Commodore 64 and learned how to change the pins to make the dot matrix printer work. We got a PC, a 486 and ended up spending many hours figuring out hardware and software problems.
Dad found out that you could sign up as a Beta tester for Windows 95. I still remember how exciting it was to get the boxes of floppy discs in the mail (and a lot less exciting to put each disc in the drive one at a time). The best part of the deal was that as a beta tester we got access to MSN Online (basically an early AOL). We soon had to figure out how to disable call waiting so we would not get disconnected when we used our dial-up modem to access the internet.
It was later at University, that I was first exposed to the real Internet. I was hooked!! I remember clicking the What's Hot button in Netscape and being enthralled by the Web sites that I saw.
Using MS Publisher, I helped my Dad make up a small Web site for his hobby, numismatics. Later I learned to use Dreamweaver; now I use a few more programs like PHPStorm, Crunch2, and many others.
I started making websites over thirty years ago.
Check out this early version of the website I made for my Dad's coin club, the Edmonton Coin Club. My personal website started in the ninties when I was a student at the U of A. I purchased this domain in 2000.
I love making Web sites. There is enormous potential for the Internet both for learning and for connecting people. I want to make sure that I can do my small part to make it a greater place. And by greater I mean, easy to access, easy to understand, and easy to use.
Software can be very difficult, not just to design and program but also to use. The average end user is bombarded daily with a wide range of interfaces - on software programs, Web sites, operating systems, etc.
After helping innumerable people fix their computers and training others in how to use their software, I realized that someone needs to fix this communication problem we have with our software. Perhaps it is time to try harder to make websites easier to use.
I want to make great sites so the internet is a better place.

» Are you GDPR compliant?
GDPR seems to be the buzz word that is on eveyone's agenda at the moment, especially as the clock ticks.
So what is GDPR? The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the European Union’s new legislation to protect the personal data of EU citizens.
Organisations have been given a two year lead in period to become compliant, ending 25th May 2018.
What is made clear in the GDPR, companies and/or organisations have to clarify exactly what data is collected, how it is stored and what it is used for.
If you want to use someone’s personal data, they must give you ‘explicit consent’ to do so. This means no pre-ticked opt-in boxes by default. The individual must have always chosen to tick the box.
If you want to use an individual’s personal data for multiple purposes, they must give consent for each, separately.

(NPR) -- Princeton economics professor and former Obama adviser Alan Krueger died this past weekend at the age of 58. The cause of death was suicide. Krueger made enormous contributions to the field of economics and, more broadly, to policies that affect the lives of all Americans.
In the early 1990s, Krueger rocketed to stardom with his paper, "Minimum Wages and Employment: A Case Study of the Fast-Food Industry in New Jersey and Pennsylvania," which helped overturn decades of thinking about the minimum wage.
Economic theory had long held that the minimum wage destroys jobs. If employers were forced to pay workers more, economists believed, then they would always hire less.
This paper was one of many of Krueger's that served as early salvos in what economists call "the credibility revolution," which deemphasized traditional economic theory and methods and instead used innovative approaches like natural experiments to understand the real world.
"And Alan was one of the very first to do that and show how important and powerful a tool it could be," said his colleague Jason Furman, a professor at Harvard who served with Krueger in the Obama administration.
Krueger's dedication to empirical economics continued after he left his job as Obama's CEA chair in 2013. Jason Furman, who took over as CEA chair after Krueger went back to Princeton, said that when most CEA chairs leave, they stop doing rigorous research and instead go the cushy route of pontificating on whatever they want. Not Alan Krueger.
"If you look at Alan for the last five years, he was going just as strong, if not stronger, in that type of empirical research as at any part of his career," Furman said.
Krueger also loved music, and he combined his two loves in a forthcoming book called Rockonomics.
Furman recalled Krueger's excitement when he learned that Bob Dylan was Furman's neighbor growing up. "When Alan found that out he couldn't stop talking to me about it," Furman recalled.
One of Krueger's last speeches as CEA chair was at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
"I'm told that President Obama distributed Alan's speech, on rock economics as a metaphor for understanding what was happening in the broader economy, to the whole cabinet," said Summers.
Betsey Stevenson, an economist at the University of Michigan and another former Obama adviser, shared memories of Krueger being an "incredibly generous mentor" to her early in her career and also before she took the job of chief economist at the DOL, a job that Krueger once held. "He really made time to mentor a lot of people," Stevenson said.
Stevenson commended Krueger's commitment to rigorous research of policy issues. But, she stressed, this commitment was about more than simply being a good academic or social scientist.
"Really what he was committed to was improving people's lives."

The move places further pressure on the generals, coming hours after United Nations investigators said the army carried out mass killings and gang rapes of Muslim Rohingya with “genocidal intent”.
Their report said the commander-in-chief of Myanmar’s armed forces and five generals should be prosecuted for orchestrating the gravest crimes under law.
Colonel Zaw Min Tun, an official in the military’s public information unit, told Reuters he was not aware the pages had been removed. He declined to comment further. Government spokesman Zaw Htay was not immediately available for comment.
Facebook said a day after publication of the investigation it had been “too slow” to address hate speech in the Southeast Asian country and it was acting to remedy the problem by hiring more Burmese speakers and investing in technology to identify problematic content.

The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) promotes the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files of consumer reporting agencies. There are many types of consumer reporting agencies, including credit bureaus and specialty agencies (such as agencies that sell information about check writing histories, medical records, and rental history records). Here is a summary of your major rights under the FCRA.
Credit scores are numerical summaries of your credit-worthiness based on information from credit bureaus. You may request a credit score from consumer reporting agencies that create scores or distribute scores used in residential real property loans, but you will have to pay for it. In some mortgage transactions, you will receive credit score information for free from the mortgage lender.
If you identify information in your file that is incomplete or inaccurate, and report it to the consumer reporting agency, the agency must investigate unless your dispute is frivolous. See www.ftc.gov/credit for an explanation of dispute procedures.
In most cases, a consumer reporting agency may not report negative information that is more than seven years old, or bankruptcies that are more than ten years old.
A consumer reporting agency may provide information about you only to people with a valid need — usually to consider an application with a creditor, insurer, employer, landlord, or other business. The FCRA specifies those with a valid need for access.
A consumer reporting agency may not give out information about you to your employer, or a potential employer, without your written consent given to the employer. Written consent generally is not required in the trucking industry. For more information, go to www.ftc.gov/credit.
Unsolicited “prescreened” offers for credit and insurance must include a toll-free phone number you can call if you choose to remove your name and address from the lists these offers are based on. You may opt-out with the nationwide credit bureaus at 1-888-5-OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688).
If a consumer reporting agency, or, in some cases, a user of consumer reports or a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency violates the FCRA, you may be able to sue in state or federal court.
For more information, visit www.ftc.gov/credit.

Keeping a Fat Loss Journal, Are you the kind of person who likes to keep a record of everything you do? Do you enjoy writing in your diary or journal about your experiences in life? Do you want to keep track of your weight loss activities and see if they really work or not? Having your own fat loss journal is an excellent way to inspire and motivate you in your weight loss experience.
Losing weight is very challenging while some even find it very difficult to do. Being overweight or obese makes one feel insecure and prone to many diseases. However, not everybody can lose those extra weights overnight. It is a long process and requires a lot of patience. One of the best ways to keep you motivated while losing weight is by keeping a fat loss journal.
The first step you should do is to shop for a notebook which you really like to write on. Buy one that is small enough to carry around with you. Choose a notebook which has a hard cover and smooth pages. It is also preferable to buy a spiral notebook. If you want, you may also opt for a diary with a lock and key to keep your private thoughts guarded.
Do not overload your fat loss journal with other stuff like your love affairs. Remember, it is strictly for your experiences on losing weight. Write about how you feel about being on a new diet or about the latest exercise routine your friend suggested. In addition, you can also write your fears and frustrations of being overweight.
Make your journal more enjoyable and fun by posting your pictures on the pages. You can paste your picture before you start dieting and another one showing how you look after a few weeks of being on a diet. You’ll be surprised to see how much you changed!
Having a fat loss journal is an excellent way to keep a record of your weight loss experience. It is so easy to have one by following the tips presented above. Moreover, it will help inspire and motivate you to continue doing your best to while you work on achieving your desired weight.

My flies are the result out of nearly 45 years of experience out fly fishing around the world.
I have come a long way since the image above (and I have stopped with V- jeans and got a better fishing hats :-). 1974, Chris Nygren work in the traditional fishing shop Power Valls in Gothenburg where he really was able to learn all about the different fishing methods and get to know other like "fish crazy" people.
During adolescence, it was a lot of tournaments that occupied all the free time. Everything from Mete- to sea fishing competitions became with varying results. We were a bunch of sea fishing interested young people who formed the fishing club "Jet Set" in the early 80's and we were successful, with each gains on sea fishing Championships in 1990 where Chris was 2nd individually as well as first in the team competition.
We also won GHFK-Cuppen 5 consecutive years. Chris also won Vallgravsmetet in Gothenburg in 1977 and 1990. But it was fly-fishing as the biggest challenge for both of them. Chris moved to Jämtland to realize their dreams Norrländska big trout in Hotagen currents, the amazing Harrflugfisket in Edsforsen also attracted a lot, he has now been fly fishing guide there for a long time. Many very famous Swedish fly fishing profiles have often come to Chris to go fishing with him in Edsforsen, including the author Rolf Smedman. Chris has also guided for many years in Namsen salmon and captured over 100 salmon on the fly. Many of flugmönsterna on this website are designed by Chris and Jonas Sander, a good fiskevän many years. Nowadays guides Jonas after massher in Thailand's jungles and big game fishing in Malaysia.

What a way to start the year. An Icicle that flies all the slots. The benchmark for 2019 is now set high. We had actually got a couple of flights in with the trusty ’56 on the Thursday and Friday before the Icicle stole the weather for the weekend. Despite rumours to the contrary I was actually at the Icicle this year but only on the Sunday and didn’t manage to catch up with hardly anyone on account son Peter and Spencer Craze press ganged me into doing a retrieve. I did manage to say hello to the BBM&L mob gallantly tethering the new BBM&L balloon G-MUSM and I have to say it looked splendid, Jonathan Dyer who reminded me that he still did a day or two at the CAA and Mike Drye who I seem to meet in all sorts of places. What was very refreshing was the number of younger balloonists that were about. Jolly good news. With Fresh Air2 lifting off at lunchtime, by the time we got back everyone had gone home! Bit of luck though as the chosen landing spot was a field with a large strip or two of lavender along the headland with beehives at the ends. Could be the future I reckon. That, or saffron production! I’m told the Icicle was very nice and lots of people turned out to support the meet, visit the numerous trade stands that filled all the hotels meeting rooms and tuck into the Saturday Night grub and listen in awe to Petr Kubicek telling the story of Kubicek Balloons. I was delighted to hear that Lindstrand Technologies had turned up with a fine display of pilot bags, but, to balance things up they did take Per along to spread the word. Things will be different next year but no doubt son will ‘borrow’ retrieve vehicle/balloon/trailer! A well happy balloon meet. Fortunately Geoff Lescott took notes and penned a piece along with Martin Mitchell who jotted a piece from the participant side of things and sorted a list of the balloons that attended. Thank you both and also many thanks indeed to the 3-4-40 Region who sorted it all out. Roll on next year and a frosty one.
For the facts, figures and operational notes, take it away Mr Lescott. Statistically it had to happen, we had an Icicle Refrozen Meet with totally flyable weather! Official Figures, courtesy of Peter Gray: Saturday, 47 free flights, 10 historic tethers. Sunday 27 free flights, 4 tethers. A minor hiccup with the catering van not turning up on Saturday, but an alternative filled in on the Sunday (and will be present next year). Parking balloon trailers on the 1st green, ignoring the adjacent 11 acre parking field provided some (brief) entertainment for both organisers and greens staff.
The Prizewinners were :-Laurence Wigfield (G-BHEU Thunder AX7-65, newest PPL), Gary Davies (G-CKVI CBL A120, furthest distance flown 75.7km on Saturday), Mark Stelling (G-BXUW Colt 90A, furthest distance travelled to meet from South Queensferry), Andy Booth, (G-LORY Thunder AX4-31Z, oldest balloon flying at Icicle Refrozen), Colin Jones (G-BYMW a 1999 homebuilt Boland 52-12, smartest balloon at meet). Congratulations to all! Honourable Mentions for Lisa Humphries, who completed her Solo Flight for her PPL(B) and Jonathan Dyer, who checked out for his CPL with Crispin Williams.
Meanwhile in the field Martin Mitchell was busy being out and about Sandy was manning her stall in the main house. Take it away Martin…..
As it was a flyable weekend the attendance was up somewhat on that of last year. My personal observation would be that some people did let the side down a bit by parking on the grass verges & golf course in preference to the ample car park as this was a little bit closer to the ballooning action. Whilst I was still enjoying my activities on the field Sandy was off to the hotel to run her trade stand. The 2019 exhibitors being: 3-4-40 Region BBAC, Ascension Cider, Balloon Meet Support Services, Peter Gray, British Balloon Museum & Library, Cameron Balloons, JB Books, Kubicek Balloons, Lindstrand Balloons, Mark Stevens, Silversmith, Memorabilia, Bob Garnet, Northampton Festival + others, John Tyrell, Pat the Pin Edwards, Radios (Glen Everett), Balloon Register of the World & Pins, Sandy Mitchell, Ultramagic Balloons, Zebedee Balloon Service.
Once the activities on the Field had been completed I re-joined Sandy in the hotel until about 5pm when the day was brought to a close so it was off to the Chilis Indian Restaurant in the heart of Newbury for our obligatory Icicle curry, joined this year by Bob Garnett and Julie Sollory. Sunday dawned and it was back in the briefing area at the Donnington Grove Hotel & Country Club to be told the MET was to be exactly the same as it was on Saturday and thus it was a fine day for some more flying to be seen.
Next years Icicle Refrozen number 5 is set for 4-5 January 2020. Same place same time. Thanks to Geoff Lescott, £-4-40 Region, Georgina, Sandy & Martin Mitchell for the piccies.

Jim Lentz, Chief Executive Officer, Toyota Motor North America, Inc.
Thank you Governor Snyder and York Township Supervisor Tellas.
I’m glad you could be part of our grand opening event!
Good morning everyone and thank you for joining us to celebrate an amazing milestone!
Just three short years ago, right here in Southeast Michigan, we introduced our “One Toyota” plan to bring team members from across our affiliates together under one roof, and to also bring functions, like our R&D teams, together for greater collaboration.
But, as we like to say, “One Toyota” is more than a building, it’s a mindset. And we’re seeing this mindset in action, especially here in Michigan.
collaboration, innovation, and faster decision making, all with an eye on our customers, as we focus our efforts on the future of mobility.
But, this new way of working, this new cultural shift, in my opinion, would not have been possible had it not been for our efforts to physically move and bring team members together.
Over the past 18 months, we have announced a total investment of $154 million into our Michigan research and development facilities.
What’s more, today not only marks the official opening of each of these facilities as part of Toyota’s R&D center in the U.S. This day is also Toyota’s 40th anniversary of being here in the great state of Michigan.
In addition to our R&D facilities, we also have Calty, our design and research center, who work closely with our chief engineers to design many of our future vehicles.
who collaborate on shaping the future of mobility with our TRI teams in California and Massachusetts.
We’re very proud of being an integral part of Michigan’s cultural fabric.
to Michigan from other parts of the country.
But we’re not stopping there. We’re also ramping up our hiring efforts. We’re recruiting some of the brightest minds who want to join our efforts here in Michigan to challenge what’s possible, both in their roles at Toyota and within the auto industry.
The possibilities for growth in our company are endless.
service of great cars, SUVs and trucks, and will help us address mobility challenges for everyone.
And we’re researching the many ways connected car technologies can deliver more personalized ownership experiences.
Our new R & D center aligns with the One Toyota mindset, giving us ever better ways to serve our team members ,our customers, and our community. On top of that, we’re proud of the many state-of-the-art campus features and energy efficiencies, which demonstrate our commitment to the environment.
In fact, we’ve applied for LEED Platinum certification for this amazing new campus—the highest level of certification possible by the U.S. Green Building Council.
If approved, this will be the only facility in the state of Michigan with this certification.
here, in Michigan, I’d like to introduce someone who has a rich history with this company.
He helped oversee the design of many of our Toyota and Scion vehicles, and he was the chief engineer for the most sold vehicle in the world, the Toyota Corolla.
Ladies and gentlemen, executive vice president, Shinichi Yasui.

These security glass windows made with ballistic glass (bullet proof glass) are used in secure facilities such as Prisons and Mental Health Facilities. We have installed several projects using both steel and aluminum detention windows that are designed to withstand tremendous impacts as well as being a deterrent toward escape. Steel detention windows can have welded bars and integral hardware designed for operation for maximum security environments. Aluminum detention windows with integral blinds are typically specified by the Office of Mental Health for use in Psychiatric facilities with threat resistant Polycarbonate for tamper resistance and threat resistance.
Glass security screens are often used as a primary or secondary means of securing window areas. They can be used to keep threats out or to keep security inside. Security screens can be either steel or aluminum with heavy gauge screen mesh that is resistant to cutting or prying open. Typical uses for security screens are secure facilities, ground floor apartments, public schools and other public facilities that need tamper resistant security products that provide peace of mind and meet the tough requirements that are needed for secure facilities. These screens can be fitted with emergency egress locks as needed for certain uses.
Security glass window products need to be installed by skilled craftsman that know the installation techniques required by the manufacturers to ensure these products meet the needs of the end user. We have the experience and know how to get the right security glass product for the application and install it properly.

Click the button below to add the Russian Mystics to your wish list.
Sergius (Serge) Bolshakoff, both the author and the translator of Russian Mystics, was born in Saint Petersburg in 1901 and died in retirement at the Cistercian abbey of Hauterive, Switzerland, in 1990. His life spanned not only the Russian Revolution and the fall of Communism, but also the Christian Ecumenical Movement, in which he took an active role.
Dedicated to the cause of Christian unity throughout his life and intimately familiar with the Orthodox, the Roman Catholic, and the Anglican traditions and their monastic expressions, he was personally acquainted with the great leaders of the ecumenical movement: Pope John XXIII, the Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras, Archbishop William Temple of Canterbury, and the abbe Paul Couturier. Exiled from his homeland for most of his life, he lived in both England (where he received a doctorate in philosophy from Christ Church, Oxford) and France and traveled and wrote extensively.

1300 hrs – 1400 hrs: ‘I Knew the Few’ – Dilip, who has undoubtedly interviewed and corresponded with more of the Few than any other researcher over nearly forty years, will relate the exciting stories of and discuss his long friendships with some of the many Battle of Britain pilots he was privileged to know. This session will be visually supported by a unique PowerPoint illustrated with photographs from the pilots’ personal albums.
1400 hrs: Comfort Break – the adjacent University cafeteria will be open for refreshments.
1430 hrs: ‘Battle of Britain VC’ – Jim Nicolson will provide an illustrated PowerPoint, and take questions, concerning his uncle, Fighter Command’s only Second World War Victoria Cross, Flt Lt James Brindley Nicolson.
1545 hrs: Dilip presents ‘The Blast of War’, covering his research and work generally, in particular regarding the issue of those still, sadly, Missing in Action and lack of closure for families. ‘The Blast of War’ perfectly explains how these casualties resonate today, as the effect reverberates down the generations. Indeed, this is the underpinning theme of Dilip’s new book, ‘Arnhem 1944: The Human Tragedy of the Bridge Too Far’.
1630 – 1700 hrs: Dilip will take questions.

This is a short, evolving list of some works useful to start with in learning history and clarifying concepts (positively and negatively). It is by no means a complete list. Inclusion doesn’t imply total agreement with them or their authors/creators (which would be impossible). We are sharing them in the hope that they may be helpful and of interest to others, as they have been to us.
This piece is a demarcation from Lenin’s bureaucratic conception of Democratic Centralism.
A speech offering a basic breakdown of these concepts.
A narrative of what it was like to be a professional revolutionary in pre-revolutionary Russia.
Accounts by a journalist traveling with the 8th Route Army, describing the people’s armed struggle against Chiang Kai-Shek and feudalism.
An account of the struggle to overturn feudalism in the Chinese countryside.
Good for a chronological account, but weak in describing the contending political lines.
A narrative based on the author’s own witness to the defeat of tribal societies, the seizure and clearcutting of forest land, and the imposition of feudalism in Bengal.
A fictionalized account of the Irish Independence Struggle clarifies the importance of carrying through class struggle in the context of a national liberation struggle.
A fictionalized account showing various intolerable conditions of feudalism influencing a woman in India toward joining the Naxalites.

Leah and I take our very first steps forward while riding! This is Leah’s first time ever walking forward with a human on her back, and we happened to do it all at liberty!
Not only did she learn forward and stop, but we also were able to start turns! It was crazy amazing of Leah!
This was all done at Liberty – never has Leah had any rope, halters, or bridles on when learning to ride. She is free to choose whether or not I am allowed to get on. If at any point she tells me that she wants me off her back or that she doesn’t want me to get on, I listen to her and respect her wishes. It is her body and her right to choose whether or not I may ride. There is never any punishment if she says “no”. Because of this, it is really such an honor when Leah lines up for me to get on her back – I am so in awe and so grateful to her.
I was so blown away – I had no idea she would understand the concept of turning with me on her back the first time we tried, and yet she picked it up in 10 minutes. I am absolutely speechless!
We used an offering of my hand as a cue for turning.

La Jolla cove is a classic.
Most exotic - Amazon river in Peru.
I don't think anything will top the St John Beach-to-Beach swim held over Memorial Day weeekend every year. The water was perfectly warm and clear. I felt like Dory from Finding Nemo so many times because I'd get distracted and excited by everything... I'd forget to race. It was just stunning.
The pool in my back yard.
The pool in my back yard.Ditto that.
When did you visit wilmeret's back yard?
I'm fortunate to have access to a number of pools through the county rec department. Most are Olympic size and are where the high schools hold their meets. The facilities also have classes and fitness centers and it's all covered in a reasonable membership so I can swim as much as I want.
Two places: the flat water of the Colorado River between the last rapid of Westwater Canyon and the take-out, and the flat water before the Colorado drops into Cataract Canyon. In summer. You can swim downstream for mile after beautiful mile, but in both cases, you better be damn sure you don't swim past your take out.
i love swimming in any pool (or body of water) where my friends are. and in masters, new people tend to become my friends in about 5mins.
so ALL places become my favorite place to swim.
but to race, Indy has to be it for me. granted i havent gotten to race there that last 2 nats because of injuries, but still love that place. however, the Olympic pool in Sydney is super cool too. let's do a WC there!!!
but to race, Indy has to be it for me. granted i havent gotten to race there that last 2 nats because of injuries, but still love that place. Agreed. I really hope I can be there the next time Nationals are there.
however, the Olympic pool in Sydney is super cool too. let's do a WC there!!!Agreed. I got to do a workout there solo in '03 and it was awesome, but I missed swimming at the Bondi Icebergs pool when I was in Sydney and so need to go back ..

"3' end additions by T7 RNA polymerase are RNA self-templated, distribu" by Yasaman Gholamalipour, Aruni K. Mudiyanselage et al.
Synthetic RNA is widely used in basic science, nanotechnology and therapeutics research. The vast majority of this RNA is synthesized in vitro by T7 RNA polymerase or one of its close family members. However, the desired RNA is generally contaminated with products longer and shorter than the DNA-encoded product. To better understand these undesired byproducts and the processes that generate them, we analyze in vitro transcription reactions using RNA-Seq as a tool. The results unambiguously confirm that product RNA rebinds to the polymerase and self-primes (in cis) generation of a hairpin duplex, a process that favorably competes with promoter driven synthesis under high yield reaction conditions. While certain priming modes can be favored, the process is heterogeneous, both in initial priming and in the extent of priming, and already extended products can rebind for further extension, in a distributive process. Furthermore, addition of one or a few nucleotides, previously termed ‘nontemplated addition,’ also occurs via templated primer extension. At last, this work demonstrates the utility of RNA-Seq as a tool for in vitro mechanistic studies, providing information far beyond that provided by traditional gel electrophoresis.

During the round table discussions were held on strengthening Ukraine’s energy security through diplomatic efforts. In the context of armed conflict and the use of the aggressor of the energy sector, as a tool for hybrid warfare, there is a need to intensify Ukraine’s policies aimed at protecting national energy interests.
ways to further strengthen the protection of Ukraine’s energy interests in the international arena.
The event was attended by officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Energy and the Coal Industry; deputies of the specialized committees of the Verkhovna Rada; representatives of key energy companies; energy experts in non-governmental organizations, as well as international experts, politicians and others.
In his speech, Serhii Savchuk, the Head of State Department for Energy Efficiency, said that national energy security directly depends on the reduction of consumption of traditional energy resources, especially gas. An important role in solving this issue is played by the development of renewable energy. All countries of the world care about it.
S. Savchuk recalled that the turning point in the development of “clean” energy was 2015, when the amount of investments in renewable energy sources for the first time exceeded the amount involved in the development of traditional energy. He urged deputies present to adopt an important bill on stimulating the production of energy from alternative sources (from 03.03.2016, No. 4334), which will be considered on September 20 in the Verkhovna Rada.

Guide: As for artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, AWS is recognized as a top global company. At the World Internet Conference and World Artificial Intelligence Conference held last year, AWS won the highest award more than once.
December 18, 2013, a more common day. However, due to the official launch of AWS in China, this day has become one of the “key points” on the development timeline of cloud computing in China.
I still remember that at the time, the Beijing International Hotel’s packed press conference, the aisles were also filled with enthusiastic audiences, and even the hotel’s implementation of the “current limit” Dafa on the main venue was only allowed. Not allowed to enter.
Even so, the heat in the venue is not diminished. For the leader and changer of the cloud computing industry, many people are full of expectations, and some people are curious, and more peers are starting to guard themselves.
Never underestimate the heart of a champion... No, AWS has always been the leader of global cloud computing, the kind of master who can be imitated but cannot be surpassed.
The time node for AWS to enter China is very subtle, and it can be said to be both good and bad.
On the positive side, some Internet companies at the time stepped up research and learning AWS and began offering cloud services. This kind of work has played a role in popularizing cloud computing, so AWS can skip to some extent without having to explain how cloud computing is.
The bad side is that some domestic companies and experts began to use the title to exaggerate the role and ability of self-control, which led to the blind rejection of foreign IT companies and products, essentially The basic national policy of "opening up to the outside world" is contrary.
Amway is needed here, although it may not be related to the main theme of this article: "Reform and opening up" is not China's basic national policy, but the state's policies and guidelines. "Opening up to the outside world" is one of the basic national policies.
In this context, AWS officially entered the Chinese market, and there is no shortcut to choose a "joint venture" - although there are still people who believe that if AWS chose to form a joint venture, its market pace must be better than the current Much faster.
does not take the usual path, AWS hopes to benefit Chinese customersShow and the purest cloud computing.
Upholding the principle of Customer Obsession, AWS provides technology to Chinese operating partners, and Chinese operating partners provide sales and services to customers. AWS believes this model is more beneficial to end users. Cloud service experience.
AWS officially released cloud services in China, which really made many people vibrate. Gold data co-founder Wang Wei is one of them.
As an innovative company located in the inland city of Xi'an, Golden Data has more than 3 million users, including well-known companies such as Didi, Mobai, Vibrato, New World, and Luo Ji.
If there is no cloud service, the dream of gold data to start with SaaS can be said to be an idiotic dream. Just buying an IT infrastructure can easily scrape away the last copper plate in the entrepreneur's pocket.
Previously, gold data used another public cloud service in China, but the effect was not satisfactory.
Because the business volume at that time was already high, the situation of high concurrency often appeared, and the overtime work of the operation and maintenance personnel became the new normal. "There is nothing to say, only tears."
金The data is not superstitious AWS, but because the core team before the startup has had extensive experience in using AWS International Edition, so when AWS launched the service in China, the gold data was switched to the platform at the first time.
As Wang Hao and his entrepreneurial partners expected, the performance of Golden Data's products has nearly tripled, and the service delay has dropped from more than 200 milliseconds to more than 50, and the user experience has been extremely high. Great improvement.
However, I look at the operation and maintenance of the martial arts.
In addition, although Gold Data uses more than one hundred AWS servers and containers, it only requires 1.5 operators. The reason why there are 0.5 is because this one Colleagues are also responsible for the company's other IT-related businesses.
Let us move the time forward until the end of 2012.
Rong Yongkang chose to join AWS and becomeThe first employee of AWS China.
Previously, he served as a senior executive in a large multinational company in Greater China, managing a mature and stable team, without having to worry about it, just making a decision at a crucial moment.
Abandon the original stable performance, start from scratch, practice and promote unseen cloud services? The "eclipse" trade that is clarified, whoever has nothing to choose this?
The final result is Rong Yongkang decided to accept the challenge and became the global vice president of Amazon AWS and executive director of Greater China.
On the surface, the "challenge" is just two words, but the courage, hardship and sweat that need to be paid for it are difficult for others to understand.
The operating model that AWS chose in China is not limited to China before, and AWS has not experienced it. Therefore, it needs a lot of communication and in-depth discussion with the regulatory authorities.
Of course, there is no fast-forward button to press, and Rong Yongkang believes that strict supervision is the prerequisite for the sound development of the industry.
After full compliance, after all the settlements, the competition in a Chinese cloud computing market can be said to have really opened.

Directly from the mountains of Jamaica, this super fruity variety will fill you with incredible flavors and aromas! She was selected by true Rastafarians from an original Jamaican variety that was crossed with a Blueberry for many years in order to achieve a very fragrant pure Sativa. The plants of this variety start to grow with indica type leaves and with the passing of the days become very thin like all good Sativas. The production is spectacular and the effect is very strong... Not for novices!

Just when you think your munchkin has outgrown putting things in his mouth.... you find him... well literally with his mouth on the table- followed by a bunch of giggles 🤔 yet another reason ALWAYS to use non-toxic cleaners at home!
Lots of people ask me what I use to clean furniture - specifically wooden furniture. The reality is that even if no one is biting or licking your furniture at home, most conventional cleaners leave behind a list of toxic chemicals in your home's air and surfaces that your family will be exposed to every single day.
Usually, at home, I use a barely damp microfiber cloths which serves to pick up the dust effectively without damaging the wood but sometimes wood needs a boost - a polish and a cleaning.
Recently I experimented with a couple of DIY recipes for wood polishes and finally found one which is easy to mix together (it takes less than 3 minutes) and uses ingredients I always have at home. It cleanses, it polishes, it smells pleasant (naturally!) and it does not create product buildup.
Unlike some well known wooden polishing sprays, it does not contain endocrine disrupting fragrance nor other common chemicals that contaminate our environment. Even companies who sell a 'natural' image have pretty toxic wood polishes; case in point Method Wood For Good Polish, Almond. According the the Environmental Working Group it contains some pretty nasty chemicals that you do not want to expose your family or our planet too (see picture). Unfortunately, Method is not the only company that includes some bad chemicals in their wood polish SO making your own polish is definitely worth trying! Trust me its like a simple salad dressing!
- Small plastic spray container (glass containers are a pretty and great alternative if you want to reduce your plastic usage. We have both at home).
and today I used this set which I was recently gifted by my sister! Their microfiber cloths that was inclosed worked great on the wood and the built in lemon squeezer and stickers were nice add ons.
Gather the ingredients along with a measuring cup and funnel. Mix well before each use!
The only thing I will mention is to take it slow. Spray a little bit first, wipe it off with your microfiber cloths, and then determine if you need more. In my experience a little goes a long way.
Do you have any wood cleaning products you like to use at home? Any recipes? Let me know in the comments below!

Something is about to happen in Philippine education that may have a deep and enduring impact not only on the intellectual development of Filipino children but on their relationship with their communities as well. The Department of Education announced recently that from June this year, when the new school year opens, any of 12 major local languages spoken in different regions of the country will be taught as a subject and used as a medium of instruction from kindergarten to Grade 3. This crucial shift, known as “Mother Tongue-Based Multi-Lingual Education” (MTB-MLE), is part of the K+12 basic education reform program. The new scheme has yielded positive results in 921 schools across the country where it has been piloted.
The DepEd says: “Local and international studies have shown that using the language used at home (mother tongue) inside the classroom during the learners’ early years of schooling produces better and faster learners who can easily adapt to learn a second (Filipino) and third (English) language.” This is an insight that has long been documented by teachers at the University of the Philippines Integrated School. But it has taken a while for it to gain traction in an educational system that remains bonded to the English language.
The 12 mother tongues that will soon be harnessed for classroom use are Tagalog, Kapampangan, Pangasinense, Iloko, Bikol, Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Waray, Tausug, Maguindanaoan, Maranao, and Chabacano. The mother tongue of a given region will be employed in all learning areas, except in the teaching of Filipino and English subjects. Filipino will be introduced during the first semester of Grade 1 to develop oral fluency, while English will be offered as a subject in the second semester of Grade 1. I am not familiar with the specifics of the program, but I expect that provisions have been made for those schools in which most of the students come from migrant families whose mother tongue is different from that spoken in the region.
This fundamental change will require the production of new teaching materials and modules using local languages that have long been marginalized as formal tools of communication and education. Those who were in grade school and high school in the 1950s will remember how local languages, except Tagalog, were explicitly banned from school precincts. It was a crazy era when pupils who made the mistake of shifting to the local “dialect” in a moment of panic during classroom recitation were routinely fined for the “offense.” I don’t think that experience necessarily made us better speakers of English. But it certainly developed in us a wrong-headed skepticism about the value of our own languages and the ways of life in which they were embedded.
I have always believed that to speak a language is to be a member of a community; by speaking its language, we participate in the community’s evolving consciousness. The need to speak a language is proportional to our need to communicate with that community. Looking back at those years, I now believe that, instead of strengthening the ties between school and community, English-based basic education had the effect of restricting our connection to our communities. This is the exact opposite of how John Dewey imagined the ideal relationship between the school and society. By imposing English as a medium of instruction, our schools were, in a sense, producing a nation of immigrants—individuals with little or no attachment to the places in which they were born and raised. The self-estrangement that many young Filipinos feel today may have stemmed largely from the institutional purging of mother tongues from the circuits of our national life.
Fortunately, one never really loses one’s mother tongue. All it takes to reactivate it as a faculty is to listen to others speak it. These days, because of the Internet, physical distance is no longer a barrier to real-time communication. We can, without much effort, become instantly reconnected to e-groups around the world that are devoted to promoting the use of our mother tongues. It is a wonderful irony that globalization is reviving local languages.
All this may or may not have been contemplated by the DepEd. Indeed, it is enough that the program has for its principal goal the liberation of our children from the double burden of acquiring basic concepts using a language they are learning for the first time. Still, there is no doubt in my mind that the shift to a mother tongue in the early years of formal schooling will have revolutionary consequences not only for Philippine education, but also for the way we think of ourselves as a nation.

When asked, the owner of this corner lot expressed a desire to transform her yard into a “low-maintenance, drought-tolerant retreat.” Designer Jennifer Smith responded with a plan that layers planting to increase privacy and create the illusion of depth.
Jennifer agreed with the owner that incorporating the existing mature, healthy trees would add complexity to the planting as the new plants fill in. The plant palette is composed largely of northern California native plants, along with some herbs and exotic NON-invasive drought-tolerant plants. An annotated plant list with links to further information accompanies the plan, along with a comprehensive, yet simple, drip irrigation plan.
Design Tip: Think about seasonality—meaning don’t just plant for spring flowers. In our Mediterranean climate, you can have flowers year-round! In addition to flowering plants, incorporate plants with good fall color, sculptural trees that look even better without their leaves, and evergreen plants to create a dynamic planting that creates on-going visual interest in response to changes in season.
About the Designer: Jennifer Smith has been Bay-Friendly Qualified since 2007. She founded The Greensmith in 2001, on the belief that a successful landscape is more than pretty plants in pretty arrangements. This means doing the research, the hand-dirtying and the technical work of assessing the space from the soil and microclimate to the client needs and architecture. Only when this sound foundation is in place can spontaneity and creativity bring a sustainable landscape to life.

Think of it as your virtual data center (a package of IT infrastructure) becoming your cloud.
We think that a real enterprise cloud is about providing computing resources like CPUs, memory, disk space, network bandwidth, backup space etc. along with the tools to manage them. Most cloud providers however only provide a selection of virtual machines (VMs) of different sizes. We think they are selling glorified hosting and virtualization, but not a real cloud.

PTC and the Vancouver Fringe Festival are pleased to announce that the team comprised of lee williams boudakian, Anoushka Ratnarajah and Kamee Abrahamian is the winner of the 2017 Fringe New Play Prize for (Untitled) Boxes. The Prize includes a free Mainstage spot at the 2017 Vancouver Fringe, the design and execution of a development process for the play with PTC’s Associate Dramaturg mia amir and production mentoring from PTC.
(Untitled) Boxes is an interdisciplinary and intergenerational performance, created by Anoushka Ratnarajah, Kamee Abrahamian, and lee williams boudakian, that explores the lives and relationships of the Berberian family. Anahit, the family’s matriarch and cultural keeper of knowledge, is in her late 80s and living with Alzheimer’s and Cancer. She has entered the last days of her life, and her illness has progressed to the point that she needs additional care. For the first time in many years, her only daughter and three grandchildren find themselves in the family home again. Marked by generational differences and the impacts of displacement, gender, sexuality and the desire to love each other, their stories reveal a family’s fight to grow closer to one another in the face of great loss and the myriad experiences that threaten to pull them apart.
Anoushka Ratnarajah is a queer, mixed race femme of Sri Lankan and British ancestry, and an inter-disciplinary and transnational artist and arts organizer. She has a BFA in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia and an MA in Arts Politics from NYU. She has worked as a producer, performer, writer and arts organizer with cultural and arts organizations in Vancouver, Montreal and New York. She has been a fellow with The Hemispheric Institute for Performance and Politics and Voices of Our Nation Arts. Her art practice engages with many social, political and cultural issues, through a critical intersectional lens. She creates work that shines a light on histories and contemporary stories that are underrepresented in mainstream theatre and performance. Her current creative projects include Capital, Alice!, an anti-capitalist, Alice in Wonderland-themed musical; Toasted Marshmallows, a documentary film and community building project exploring what it means to be a mixed-race woman in North America today; and partnered projects with Kalik and Shapeshift Arts, including Dear Armen.
Kamee Abrahamian was born in Scarborough, Ontario to an Armenian family, by way of Beirut, Lebanon; and arrives in the world today as a queer woman and a multidisciplinary producer / artist / facilitator / storyteller. She has a BFA/BA in film and political science from Concordia University (Montreal, Quebec) and an MA in expressive art therapy from the European Graduate School (Saas Fee, Switzerland) — with a special focus on the integration of digital media. The bedrock of Kamee’s arts training is in classical ballet, theatre, and visual art. In collaboration with fellow artists and allies (lee williams boudakian, Katie Partlow, The Hye-Phen Mag), she continues to develop a body of work inclusive of film, performance, writing, digital art and design (Dear Armen, Alchemy of Waste/Saboteur Productions). Kamee is currently pursuing an MA/PhD in community, liberation and ecopsychologies at Pacifica Graduate Institute (Carpinteria, California) and is based in Portland, Oregon.
mia, lee, Anoushka, and Kamee have already begun development on the play. It will be on stage at the 2017 Fringe Festival, September 7-17, 2017.

RM Surveys is delighted to announce Bennett Tunbridge is our newest Licensed Surveyor and has achieved his Licensed Surveyor qualification.
Bennett’s achievement is a key part of RM Surveys succession plan and is very important for the company’s long-term success. In addition to his recent qualification, Bennett is skilled across a wide range of survey disciplines, excels in applying the industry’s latest technology, and is a senior leader and RM Surveys shareholder.
We look forward to Bennett applying his knowledge of laws and procedures relating to land ownership, development and property boundaries on the ground to our clients.
On a personal level, I’m proud of the achievement and look forward to embracing the extra responsibility that goes with the qualification. As a shareholder and part of the RM Surveys succession plan, it ultimately means the company will have an Owner and Director who is a Licenced Surveyor long after the foundering Directors have retired.
There were a few challenges; completing the projects and writing the reports was a time-consuming task, as time can be difficult to find with running other jobs, work commitments and family life.
I will always be learning more about the Cadastral surveying industry. Having qualified as Licenced Surveyor doesn’t mean I know it all, yet, but I am keen to keep learning and growing to better serve the surveying industry and our clients.

Exposing young kids and teens to our national parks, national forests, and to the wilderness is extremely beneficial. It helps young people connect with nature in a meaningful way, it gives kids and teens a chance to step away from digital devices, it is a great way to stay active on your vacation, and most importantly, it’s just fun! Getting outside and riding a bike or hiking and looking over a canyon rim or around a snow-capped peak is not something everyone gets to do every day. Making smores’ next to the fire, and eating a delicious meal during sunset are memories that last a lifetime.
But how do you decide where to go, or what to do? Should we bike, should we hike, should we raft, and should we camp? There are plenty of choices… camping versus hotels, the Northwest versus the Southwest, national parks versus national forests? Fully guided vacations versus DIY style vacations. The possibilities are endless. This guide will help shed light on some considerations to make if you aspire to visit a national park or national forest with your family.
If you are considering a family vacation that ventures off the beaten path then consider going to a national park. We are very lucky in the United States as we have set aside large expanses of land to be preserved for future generations. Over 3.5% (80 million acres) of all land in the United States has been designated as national parks. National forest also comes in at a whopping 180 million acres of land. That is a tremendous amount of open space.
Even with all of that land and the beauty and enjoyment that awaits in these destinations, there are real challenges to choosing a good location to take your family. For example, in places like Grand Teton National Park, or Yellowstone National Park the visitor centers and hot spots can be over-crowded. If you are interested in a national park you should enter the park early in the morning and have everything you need to be packed in your car for the entire day. This technique will help you avoid the areas of congestion during mid-day. Then, use tools like Hiking Project, or Mountain Bike Project to learn about trails in the region rather than relying on the standard maps distributed at visitor centers that everyone uses during their visit. This will help differentiate your hikes from the hikes the masses are doing. Take it one step further and check out the distance, technicality, elevation, and quality ratings in order to gain a deeper understanding of the trail.
National forests are certainly less crowded in most cases. Yet, national forests share being highly protected and coveted pieces of open space. Use national forests as a tool when you plan your vacation to national park hot spots. For example, when you plan to visit Yellowstone National Park take a couple of days and visit the Gros Ventre Wilderness in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. There are hiking, backpacking and camping options in this national forest, yet it will be far less crowded than its national park counterparts in the region. This same technique can be translated in almost any location with a national park close by.
Finding the right adventure can be challenging due to the logistics of making it all happen. For example, if you aspire to bike with your family through Zion National Park then you have to either bring or rent bikes for the entire family, find rides that will work for everyone and hopefully avoid congestion and crowds.
One technique that travelers can use is to hire a day guiding service on the first adventure of their vacation. During that experience, you can ask the guide about her/his favorite hikes, bike rides, and camping spots. This will help you get first-hand information from well informed and knowledgeable people about the specific geographic location. Rather than spending your time searching for online comments, you can get first-hand information from someone who knows you and, in some cases, will be able to assess your specific abilities.
A second important factor when planning your adventures in and around national parks is BOOK YOUR CAMPING EARLY. Not all campgrounds are reservable online, but some are. In busy areas you should book 6 months in advance. To book campground reservations you can use recreation.gov/. This site will allow you to view national park and national forest campgrounds and it will either allow you to make reservations, or it will let you know that the particular campsite is not reservable online.
Finally, deciding whether or not to hire a guide service, create your vacation DIY style, or a combination of both can be challenging. One of the most common questions that we hear from our family vacation customers is wondering if they should just try to pull off their vacation without a guide service. Some of the pros to planning your own vacation are being able to change your itinerary on the fly, in most cases, it can be less expensive if you already own all of the necessary equipment, and there is a great feeling of accomplishment when your family succeeds said mission. The pros of hiring a guide service are centered around eliminating stress by allowing experienced professionals to handle the itinerary and letting go of all of the tedious planning necessary for meals and driving. This creates the necessary space so that you and your family can spend quality time together riding bikes, hiking, and camping.
There are pros to both methods and every family has their own experience and goals that will help them decide on what is right for them. If you’re unsure, we recommend a mixture of both options. For example, if you are planning a trip to Grand Teton National Park you can hire a multi-day guide service to handle the technical biking and camping portion of your vacation. Before or after your bike trip you can visit restaurants, hotels, and local attractions where guidance isn’t as helpful. Again, using the guide service at the beginning of the trip is usually the best practice so that you can squeeze all of the information you can get before embarking on your DIY adventures.
Planning a vacation for a national park road trip is a good idea… at least we think so! It can be challenging to pull off all of the logistics to maximize your family’s experience. We hope this list sheds a little more light on the process of taking your family to beautiful places where memories are created.
We all love to think it will never rain on our vacation, but we know the reality. We often say “there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing choices!” Having been taking guests in the backcountry for nearly 30 years, we’ve worn our fair share of rain gear. “Whether it’s a quick-hitting spring hailstorm in Canyonlands National Park or a multi-day rain event at 12,000’ on the Colorado Trail, our guides need to be prepared and they need the best” says Western Spirit owner/guide Mark Sevenoff. “We’ve known about Showers Pass for years and are proud to get our guides kitted out for the season. Only when they’re feeling good and prepared can they do their #1 job of taking care of the guests.” Showers Pass rain gear is designed for the trail, both as a mountain biking rain shell and to double as protection when it is time to get your hands dirty putting the tire chains on an F450.
Showers Pass makes technically advanced cycling apparel and gear to inspire and enable the pursuit of outdoor adventure. All Elements Covered.
Western Spirit Cycling has perfected week long bike trips for first timers to seasoned pros. For nearly 30 years we’ve shown folks the best week of their lives.
View of Washer Woman formation on the White Rim trail, Canyonlands National Park, Moab, Utah.
There are very few established mountain bike routes that are as well known as the White Rim. For good reason, this iconic ride has been in the hearts and minds of mountain bikers for decades. But why? What draws riders here season after season? Here is a quick history to put this biking legacy into context.
The National Park system has been one of the keystone aspects of land conservation in the United States. The White Rim is nestled within the heart of Canyonlands National Park and crosses a 190 square mile piece of conservation history. To be able to ride through this place is truly unique. Around each canyon bend, up and down every wash the rider will wonder, “Has anyone ever stepped foot here?” The remote nature of this place is at the forefront of each visitors mind.
Interested in the MAP of the White Rim?

Anyone who steps foot on the White Rim cannot help but wonder how the canyons have developed. Not only is the mere beauty of the landscape something to savor, but the geologic history is something to ponder. Layers and layers of rock have been carved and shaped by water and wind over the millennia. Bikers are given a front row seat to this story because their tires are rolling across the most prominent piece of this history: the White Rim layer of sandstone. This layer of stone is much harder than other layers and therefore erosion of this rock happens at a much slower pace. Some moments can feel almost effortless and others are quite slow going, but every biker can appreciate the experience of riding across this unique surface.

Evidence of the humans that inhabited these canyons for centuries can be witnessed along the trail. Ancestral Puebloan rock art and dwellings are scattered among the cliffs and canyons. As Westerners came to the region this area was used for winter cattle grazing before it was designated a national park. Riders will notice that many of the names come from those early ranching days and bear the names of the families that grazed their cattle in the canyons and mesas of the region. However, the White Rim Trail wasn’t created by ranchers. It was blasted and carved out of the canyons by uranium miners during the 1950s when the nuclear arms race was in full swing. The undeniably rugged nature of the trail holds years of history and travelers cannot help but tap into that history while passing through.
Camp along the White Rim trail, Canyonlands National Park, Moab, Utah.
Outfitters like Western Spirit have been guiding people around the White Rim since the early days of mountain biking. Year after year people continue to pursue this adventure. Endurance cyclists circumnavigate the 80-mile trail in as fast as 1 day, but most riders choose to ride in 4 days to allow for ample time to experience the awe and wonder of this place. Each campsite has something unique to offer such as side hikes, new vistas, and places to explore. The wildness and remote nature of this place quickly draws you out of everyday life and into something very new and different. Many of our guests who rode the White Rim back in the 1990s have returned with their children, spouses or friends to share the cherished adventure.
Every bike ride has the potential to be great, but by reaching out for new experiences and adventures we can re-inspire our lives. The White Rim offers this type of adventure and for this reason it will continue to inspire more and more bikers throughout history.
Ride the White Rim with us.

With Spring Outerbike right around the corner we thought we’d share a little Outerbike history. Outerbike is a consumer demo event dedicated to helping riders pick their next bike. It was founded by Western Spirit owners Ashely Korenblat & Mark Sevenoff of Moab, Utah. With changes in sales channels and continual improvements in design and technology, todays cyclists want to try new products and test ride bikes on real trails before they purchase.
For the first several years Outerbike took place each October at the MOAB Brands Trailhead. A few years later a spring event was added and then a summer venue in Whistler, BC followed by Crested Butte, Colorado.
In 2018 Western Spirit will be partnering with the OZ Trails to bring Outerbike to Bentonville. “The riding in Northwest Arkansas is truly world class and the OZ trails are a perfect place to test your dream bike” says Mark Sevenoff.
Outerbike events so far have attracted riders from all 50 states and 8 foreign countries. Cyclists start lining up at 7am for the 9am Le Mans-style start into the exhibit area, and while the morning dash to the bikes is thrilling—before the weekend is over, everyone will have had a chance to try a wide variety of models. Several trails right from the Outerbike venues give riders a chance to compare bikes back to back on the same trails, while additional rides on nearby purpose built singletrack take place each day via shuttles. In Crested Butte the chairlift starts spinning at 9am taking riders to the top to access the Evolution Bike Park and trails beyond. Lunch is served to exhibitors and attendees under the big tent from Outerbike chef Ken Moody. Friday and Saturday’s beer garden is brought to you by our friends at the Moab Brewery ,Upslope Brewery & Bike Rack Brewing.
“I know a great event and vibe when I see it. From the beginning Outerbike has manage to keep it all about riders who want to demo bikes. Outerbike is the best. There are other great independent events but few/none of them are as consistent year over year,” said Jordan Huckee from Orbea.
“The location!! Outerbike always does a great job of organization and the Crested Butte venue was icing on the cake!” said Tristan Brandt, Demo Coordinator, Pivot Cycles.
“We love the Outerbike events. They stand alone as a way for us to work directly with consumers. Outerbike is our favorite event,” says Ken Miner, Director of Sales Haibike USA.

This season sees the Western Spirit guides putting 100%’s line of cutting-edge eyewear through its paces while guiding. While on the bike, 100% sport performance models such as Speedcraft and Speedcoupe will offer the clarity and protection our guides demand. “We’re stoked to bring new insights into the performance needs of our guides and guests and offer a refreshing perspective on the evolution of trail riding” says Western Spirit owner/guide Mark Sevenoff. “The guides are the heart and soul of our company and demand the very best. They’re outside seven days a week in the most extreme conditions you can imagine.” When traveling the West, or back at camp, they’ll be sporting active lifestyle models including the Centric & Type-S sunglasses.
Western Spirit is a cycling company who organizes road and mountain biking trips in our National Parks, National Forests and BLM lands. The trips range from mellow family-style outings to 5-day package rides above 10,000 feet on world-class single track. They also run product launches, press events and team building trips for corporations interested in giving their employees and corporate partners a challenging bike experience that will be both emotional and physical. It’s all about connecting people with their equipment, the trail, their guides and themselves.
I have seen bike love in many forms. When I was 27, I became the president of a small company called Merlin. I’d just graduated from business school and put everything I learned to work. I had to order titanium in the same quantities as Boeing, six months in advance. To do this I had to raise private capital and create a board of directors who were committed to cycling.
At the time, Merlin made arguably the best bikes int he world and for about five years we simply could not keep up with the orders. People sent us photos of the Merlin logo tattooed on various parts of their bodies. While I was flattered by their devotion, I have to admit the photos were kind of frightening.
I briefly dated a professional tennis player. We were at a party once and two men in their fifties found out I was the president of Merlin. They walked over, got down on their knees and bowed before me. My date was not impressed – what was I thinking, dating a tennis player?
After half a decade at Merlin I was ready for a new challenge, and Saucony, the shoe company, offered to buy the company. Hoping I had left it in good hands, I moved to Moab to run Western Spirit Cycling. My focus was no longer the bike itself, but where to ride it.
We run multi-day trips in the national park and forests. Many riders return year after year and so the pressure is on us to always find new places to explore. The trips range from fun and cruisey to five days above 10,000ft, and we have a very wide range of people, from core cyclists who have all the skills and fitness to those who really only ride once a year with us.
About half bring their own bikes. Sometimes when they arrive before a trip, the mechanic shakes his head. These bikes have been loved too much. We do worry that the bike won’t make it through the week, but we don’t want to tell the customer. So we just throw another spare on the support truck and hope for the best. The price of the bike has nothing to do with how much a person loves their ride.
When riders arrive they are usually a bit pale and nervous, wondering what they have got themselves into. When they return, they are glowing and it is not just the dirt or the sunburn. The trip has given them at the chance to reconnect with themselves, the planet and the bike.
And then we came up with the idea of Outerbike, a demo event for consumers. The bike manufacturers all build their new models for the autumn trade show in Las Vegas, but the public are not allowed to attend, and while you occasionally find a demo truck at a trailhead ro at big races, there really isn’t anywhere you can test out bikes on real trails. So when the Bar M trails were built in Moab – a classic stacked loop system with 10 to 15 miles of beginner, intermediate and expert trails, all from one starting point – we knew it was perfect for Outerbike.
At the first Outerbike in 2010, several hundred people showed up. At the second this autumn, it was over the top. It was 40°C and raining but by 7:30am there was a line to get into the demo area, which didn’t open util 9am. I was a bit worried that folks would be grumpy about waiting but when we opened the gates, they ran to the booths hooting and hollering. It was bike love in the form of 800 people charging through the desert in the rain.
I wonder what form it will turn up in next.
Happy 2018 and welcome to a new year! We’re entering our 28th year in business based out of the mountain bike mecca of Moab, UT and have some great new things to share with you.
To start with we’d like to welcome two new employees to our office team. Many of you remember Eric Donley one of our senior guides from a few years back. Eric and his fiance moved down to Moab this fall and he will be helping to spearhead our sales and marketing team while doing a bit of guest guiding. If he happens to pick up the phone when you call you’ll be immediately at ease with his calm demeanor and friendly voice. Not to mention his keen knowledge of all our trips from his years in the backcountry.
Our amazing Operations Director Don Wiseman retired this December making room for Scott Greiner to fill his shoes. Scott moved here from Reno, NV and brings with him a wealth of experience from both guiding and organizational work in the adventure travel industry. We couldn’t be happier with our crew, but that’s not all. We’re also in the midst of a website refresh so in the next month be on the lookout for a fresh look and some exciting new online offerings.
On the physical side, we’re proud to continue our long-running partnership with Specialized bikes for the 17th season and will be upgrading our fleet to the 2018 Camber Comp for all mountain bike rentals. Just like some of the pro peloton, we’ll be running disk brakes on our all carbon Specialized Roubaixs this year as well. The Roubaix provides you with the tools you need to explore the road less traveled and we’re confident you’re going to love them.
On the vehicle side, we’re adding two more 15 passenger Ford Transit E350s to our growing fleet. After investing in two a few years back, we’re convinced they’re more comfortable, safer, easier to drive and with the twin turbo Ecoboost motor, even more powerful than our old V-10’s (thinking of a fully loaded trip climbing 7,000′ up to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon). For our guests that just means you get to the trails in more comfort and more safely than ever before. We’ve been with Ford now for over 25 years and they like us so much they even featured us in a commercial last year!
Enough bragging for now, but you’ll be hearing more from us rest assured:) While there’s snow on the ground in Moab right now, it will all be melted before you know it and we’ll be gearing up for spring trips down south. Hope to ride with you this year and share some time around the campfire.
It’s the holidays and here at Western Spirit, we want to help you shop for any cyclist on your list with a handy little gift guide. These are things that have been tried-and-true tested by our guides and get two thumbs up. Our guides are on their bikes every day during the season and definitely push a lot of products to the limit. Check these gifts out and Happy Holidays!
This helmet from Giro is a good balance between price and features. It’s also the helmet our guides chose to wear. This dome cover is low weight and its numerous vents keep you cool in the warmest conditions. Trust us, our guides wore this helmet every day all summer and were stoked on how well it preformed. Plus, it was designed with MIPS which helps redirect impact energy to provide more protection during certain impacts.
This 18-liter pack has all the bells and whistles, plus plenty of storage for a rain layer, snacks, tube, and repair supplies. Adding in CE-certified back protection makes this the go-to pack for all of our guides. A three-liter water reservoir also means you have plenty of water for an entire day on the bike.
The Sram GX Eagle is amazing. Twelve speeds, 500% gear range, and no front derailleur. Sram Eagle drivetrains pack in so many features to make your ride great. X-Sync2 chainrings with its new tooth profile increase chain retention and overall pedaling efficiency, while decreasing friction, noise, and wear. The 500% gear range make sure you always have the gear you are looking for. It’s amazing, just ask any of our guides who rode it for the entire 2017 season!
Another guide favorite here! The Pro-X knee is a great pad. It’s lightweight, has quite a bit of protection, and a mesh back for breathability. Add all that together, and you have a knee pad that is comfy enough to wear all day on the bike.
Did you really think we would do a list of things a cyclist would want for Christmas without putting a Western Spirit trip on it? A trip with us is the ultimate gift! A week of riding, camping, and great food! What’s not to love? Our guides take care of all the heavy lifting so you get to sit back, relax, and enjoy your cycling vacation. Want to see stars like the ones in this photo? Check out our White Rim Bike Trip. It’s a classic that takes place right in Western Spirit’s backyard: Canyonlands National Park. Its a must-do for any cyclist.
So there you have it! Five ideas for any cyclist on your list this holiday season.
-Happy Hoildays from our team at Western Spirit Cycling Adventures.
The following blog post is from a Guest on a trip. We wanted to feature it as it answers a few questions that we get quite a bit. We hope you enjoy.
My family is very choosey about vacations. As our three boys get older, it is harder and harder to find a time when we can all be together. Between school, college, sailing, skiing, and all the other activities we do over the year, finding time for a bike trip was a serious challenge.
When we settled on a week that worked for everyone, the folks at Western Spirit suggested biking the Black Hills in South Dakota. I have never even thought about going to South Dakota and it was definitely not on my bucket list. Still, I listened to the folks at Western Spirit about riding though the forest and camping on some beautiful lakes and decided the combo of nature’s beauty, exercise, and great food might be just the family vacation we needed. Plus, the whole trip is at a reasonable altitude–compared to Colorado or other famous out-west destinations – so I was pretty sure everyone would enjoy the biking.
There was the uncertainty of the other people on the trip…I wasn’t at all sure I wanted strangers joining us on vacation. We had done a couple Western Spirit trips before, but they were private trips, so we knew everyone already. This was the biggest and best surprise of all. We thoroughly enjoyed the other folks we met on our trip.
Bottom line, on a scale of 1 to 10, the trip was a 12. The guides Chris Abell and Terrin Frey made it easy, fun, relaxing and, well, just tremendous! The riding was a nicely balanced combination of cruisey downhills and nice climbs. The camps were in great spots with easy access to the lakes. Our family goes boating all the time, but there was something especially fun about the trip across the lake on the party barge.
This trip was all about being outside, getting exercise, laughing, smiling and being grateful to have the chance to be in a gorgeous part of the world with my family and other fun, interesting people. Further, I had no responsibilities—I didn’t have to think about what time it was, when I needed to start dinner (or breakfast or lunch!), if the boat had gas, whether the gears on my bike would work smoothly—I just got to enjoy my husband and sons, pedal my heart out and kick back.
President Trump’s Executive Order on the Antiquities Act calls for a review of the national monuments designated over the last 20 years. As an outdoor business owner, I have had a front row seat for many of these monument designations and have seen the on the ground impacts.
In many cases local residents and stakeholders from mountain bikers to energy companies to environmental advocates began the process of updating plans for their public lands by asking for new laws. People worked together to understand each others goals and craft public land legislation that would protect key areas for conservation and recreation, while leaving other places available for development of oil, gas, and mining. And after all the blood, sweat, and tears of negotiating a deal, many communities in the last 20 years were stymied when congress failed to pass their bills.
You can’t really blame folks if they turned to the President and requested an administrative action in the form of a National Monument Proclamation to achieve virtually the same goals they were seeking through public land legislation. President Trump’s review will find that many communities are quite happy with their National Monuments, not only are they benefiting from outdoor recreation visitors, but they are seeing steady economic growth through new and diverse businesses who want to locate near America’s great outdoors. Competition for top talent is tight, and if you can boast access to everything from hiking and paddling to jeeping, hunting and fishing, plus treasured cultural resources and uniquely American landscapes, your community—and the businesses that locate there— have a competitive advantage.
Pictographs in Grand Staircase – Escalante National Monument.
In reviewing these monuments, Secretary Zinke is also going to find a few places where people aren’t so happy, and while they are quick to complain about their public land managers, the real source of the problem has little to do with federal land ownership or monument designations. Macro economic forces and technological advances of the 21st century are playing out in commodity prices, and extractive industry jobs are disappearing on both public and private lands, while county budgets suffer due to sharply decreasing mineral royalties.
Western Spirit Cycling Adventures was started to run trips in Canyonlands National Park and today runs trips all thought out many of the country’s National Parks and National Monuments.
Meanwhile, the outdoor recreation industry continues to see steady growth generating $887 billion in consumer spending and 7.6 million jobs. America has a proud history of self sufficiency through living off the land, and our ranchers and coal miners have been major contributors to our country’s progress. Key leaders in congress are trying to find ways to honor this heritage. Pivoting to recreation economy jobs in product design, manufacturing, or retail can be challenging. For that matter, just getting along with the new neighbors can be hard. Change is never easy, but rolling back the clock is downright impossible.
Lower Calf Creek Falls – Grand Staircase – Escalante National Monument.
Monument designations jump start recreation economies and bring a wide array of reliable and growing business opportunities to rural residents and their children. This change is playing out in communities across the country whose economic development strategies are paying off precisely because they have set aside public land in its natural state for outdoor recreation.
If the President wishes to honor his promise to those who have lost their jobs in coal country and other rural areas that have been hurt by a changing economy, he should maintain all of America’s existing monuments, and use the powers of the Antiquities Act to create new ones.

Abstract Ferumoxytol, which is originally intended for MRI and anemia treatment, is currently the only inorganic nanodrug approved by FDA for clinical application in vivo. Common ferumoxytol seems incapable of meeting the requirements for diverse applications. Thus, the development of a novel strategy based on co-precipitation to produce ferumoxytol with high quality is an imminent task. Herein, we proposed a physically assisted strategy, namely hydrocooling and magnetically internal heating co-precipitation, to optimize the properties of ferumoxytol and thus significantly enhance its magnetic performance. Magnetization of the newly developed ferumoxytol can reach 104-105 emu g(-1) Fe, which is the highest value among the reported results. It has been found that the crystalline structures of the newly developed ferumoxytol have been greatly improved on the basis of pharmaceutical quality criteria.

The staff didn’t know what was gluten free and had to keep leaving to ask someone. Good news is, I have Celiac and didn’t get sick. That’s the most important thing. I got the chicken fajitas with corn tortillas. Unfortunately, their chips aren’t gluten free.

Is it time to give up fish oil supplements?
Eating two servings of fatty fish a week — equal to about two grams of omega-3 fatty acids — lowered the risk of death from heart disease by more than a third and total deaths by 17 percent.
Omega-3s in fish clearly have effects that can account for such findings. They protect against abnormal heart rhythms, lower blood pressure and heart rate and improve the function of blood vessels. They may also lower heart-damaging triglycerides and counter inflammation, a known risk to the heart.
The question is whether the observed cardiovascular benefits often found among fish eaters is due solely to the oils in fish or to some other characteristics of seafood or to still other factors common to those who eat lots of fish, like eating less meat or pursuing a healthier lifestyle over all. Whatever the answer, it does not seem to be fish oil supplements.
There’s a “best of” list for nearly everything—the best countries for expats, the best places to go in 2018, the best pizza in Italy (you’re welcome). Now, U.S. News & World Report has released a veritable best-of-the-best list, with its annual “Best Countries” index. This study is no joke: They evaluated 80 countries and surveyed 21,000 people from four regions (the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa); places were graded 65 different ways, for how well they rank in “citizenship,” “cultural influence,” “education,” “heritage,” “power,” “quality of life,” to name a few. Here, the ten best countries in the world, and what they’re, well, best for. Counting down… This gallery was originally published in 2016. It has been updated with new results.
The latest data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey comes at a time when the food industry is pushing back against stronger public health measures aimed at combating obesity.
In recent NAFTA negotiations, the Trump administration has proposed rules favored by major food companies that would limit the ability of the United States, Mexico and Canada to require prominent labels on packaged foods warning about the health risks of foods high in sugar and fat.
Cancer Research UK found more than a third of all cases of cancer were avoidable – some 135,000.
The charity also found that excess weight now caused 6.3% of all cancer cases – up from 5.5% in 2011 – while smoking as a cause had declined.
It said more action was needed to tackle the “health threat” of obesity.
The government in South Korea’s capital is introducing a new initiative to force its employees to leave work on time – by powering down all their computers at 20:00 on Fridays.
It says it is trying to stop a “culture of working overtime”.
South Korea has some of the longest working hours in the world.
B.J. McHugh might be 90, but that doesn’t mean her best days are behind her. In fact, it’s other runners her age who are eating her dust, as the Vancouver resident continues to break long-distance running records around the world.
McHugh owns several 10-kilometre, half-marathon and marathon records for seniors, including her latest: the fastest marathon time by a runner over 90. McHugh smashed the record by two hours at the Honolulu Marathon in December, with a time of 6:47:31.
Visit NatGeo for the full list.
The sleep loss epidemic is genuine. And it’s having a significant impact on society. A persistent lack of sleep can lead to a higher risk of heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and stroke.
Human beings are the only species that deliberately deprive themselves of sleep. Mother Nature took 3.6 million years to put this thing called 8 hours of sleep in homosapiens and we deprive ourselves of it for no good reason… it is an entirely man-made problem.
What then is the solution to those of us rendered zombies by a dire lack of sleep, if neither prescription or herbal drugs offer true rest? “If we had a good medication that produced naturalistic sleep I’d be very much in favour of it but we just don’t and have never had one.” Walker emphasises, “However, last year, the American College of Physicians made a landmark recommendation, suggesting that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI) must be used as the first line treatment for chronic insomnia, not sleeping pills.
Business Insider states the Crystal Ball Frappuccino will debut on Thursday, March 22, and remain on the menu for four days or until supplies run out.
There can’t be any nutritional value in this.

Written by EB on 30 May 2017 .
During the TNC17 Networking Conference, from May 29 to June 2 in Linz (Austria), the Community Awards 2017 were awarded, a sign of recognition for those who encouraged collaboration within the community of research and education networks, thus contributing to its growth.
This year Massimo Parovel of the Tartini Conservatory of Trieste was rewarded for the idea that led to the development of the low latency audio-visual system known as LOLA.
In 2005, during a GARR conference, Parovel shared the idea that performing artists should be able to interact in a natural way even if located thousands of km apart, using the high-quality and very large bandwidth connectivity offered by research and education networks.
This idea grew into a project, supported by the Tartini Conservatory of Music and by GARR in Italy, that resulted in the low latency audio-visual system known as LoLa, which allows real-time, real-time collaboration, almost obliterating network-related latency and providing maximum signal quality (without compression) thus allowing remote real-time artistic collaborations.
Now available anywhere in the world, the LoLa system has since been used for training purposes, masterclasses, concerts and spectacular networked performances with musicians, dancers and actors. And LoLa will be a fundamental part of the performance of music and dance show that connects 6 countries at the same time, and will be held on June 1st at Linz TNC17 conference.
LoLa, born to realize art and music performances in real time, has also proven to be a solution to many other needs in different fields such as for high resolution master classes in the medical sector.
"LoLa became possible – Parovel says – thanks to the lucky combination of three factors: a simple but ambitious idea; a group of open minded experts with whom I shared this ambitious idea to turn it into a viable project; an adequate technology underneath.
Without this technology – which we all create and share in this conference – LoLa would have remained a dream.
And the very first idea of LoLa would never have blossomed without my personal combination of passion and interests in different disciplines, from music to technology to science... a passion shared also by my unique fellows in this adventure: the team of experts who believed in my idea and made it real: Paolo Pachini, Carlo Drioli, Nicola Buso and Stefano Bonetti from Music Conservatory Tartini and Enzo Valente, Claudio Allocchio and the whole GARR staff, who supported the idea I shared with them."
"LoLa is a dream of 10 years ago that came true. It started from an idea that at first seemed crazy: to have musicians playing together while being located in different places" comments Claudio Allocchio, senior GARR service manager. “We at GARR accepted the challenge and after 5 years of work we managed to get the system that today the whole world knows. The result comes from a continuous research that led us to improve performances over the time: we started from broadcasting black and white videos in order to be able to broadcast in full HD and with the right equipment even over 4K ".
In addition to Parovel, two additional prices were awarded during TNC17: Hannah Short (CERN), for the contribution to the REFEDS and AARS projects, and Tomasz Wolniewicz and Maja Górecka-Wolniewicz ( Nicolaus Copernicus University Toruń / PSNC) for contributing to various activities including eduGAIN and eduroam.

In August 2016, during what he now recognizes as his lowest point, Bazan was touring the country alone in an aging minivan and found himself in his hometown of Phoenix, AZ. In need of a break from the road, he spent a night off at his grandparents' house instead of driving on to San Diego. Before leaving town the next morning, after realizing that even the most familiar places can become unrecognizable, Bazan gave himself the gift of a quick detour past the house he grew up in, and on the way, experienced a breakthrough - one that would lead him both forward and back to another home he had built many years before.
Phoenix also deals with having to be better to yourself in order to be better to others on "Quietest Friend," and harkens back to Control's "Priests and Paramedics" with a story about EMTs facing a gruesome scene, and storytelling as coping mechanism, on "Black Canyon." It bears witness to both what was around and what was inside, with the signature kindness and forgiveness that lightens Pedro the Lion's darkest notes.
