What is the defining feature of the Charm City course?
The Charm City course has evolved over the years, but recent versions have been defined by the use of the Mansion House climb and series of large stairs. I pushed to expand the course onto that Mansion Hill section [feature photo] to really open it up and give it a more spectator-friendly atmosphere. That section also added a high point of elevation that everyone had to get up. Before we switched over to the Mansion House field, there was much less variety of terrain and it was very twisty through the oaks and lower fields. It moved the start to the other side of the park. It opened up the opportunity to take it up to that high point on the hill and to use that elevation so it just didn’t feel gratuitous. You can have a bunch of terrain and features, but some races don’t use those features thoughtfully.

What is your favorite domestic course?
Domestically, Asheville Nationals had it all. They really set the bar where it should be for cyclocross in the U.S. I really liked the way it flowed. I felt like it crisscrossed the park — it came back and forth on itself. I liked the incorporation of the big hill run-up and the multiple run-ups, the fact you were forced off your bike multiple times. I don’t think anyone could ride that entire course. There was a lot of thought put into the amazing features that were there. I loved the cow pasture that dropped down through the wooded section. That was hard. You don’t see a lot of that in most courses. It was a fun course. I really enjoyed racing it and thinking about what they did.
What is your favorite international course?
When I’m on a trainer, I try to watch as many European races as I can, and there are so many features that I’ll look at and think, “Oh, we could do that at Charm City.” There’s this one hill in Baltimore that you go up and down several times [in succession] by the team tents, and that’s something that I pulled from Ruddervoorde. I liked how they had a handful of features on that course and I thought they used them really well.
I love a lot of the big-terrain courses. I love Namur and the citadel. To have that kind of a venue to host a race, and the kind of features that they have there—I hope to get over there and watch one of those races one time. Those are two totally different courses, but they both stand out for me for different reasons.
Do you race? If so, how does that influence your course design?
I do, mostly in the Mid-Atlantic region. I approach racing different venues as an opportunity to learn what other course designers are doing well, and I think about how to incorporate that thoughtfulness back into Charm City or any other course I may have a hand in designing. I feel like people who use off-camber really well have influenced some of the design at Charm City.
Whenever I’m at a race and they’ve put in a really thoughtful feature or used some subtle terrain in a way that can especially be a game changer in a race, that’s the kind of thing that I try to pay attention to. I think about where I have something similar to add a particular feature like that [in Baltimore].
Are there any unique regional considerations when designing the course?
As I mentioned, the Mid-Atlantic region is pretty dry. I try to think about maintaining good flow without having the race be all about pedaling. Breaking up the race with more off-the-bike time is not used enough, in my humble opinion.
Are courses challenging enough in the U.S.?
For me I’d say mostly no. There are exceptions but most courses are dumbed-down for the beginner and youth racers to the detriment of the development of those racers and the sport in the U.S.
An exception that comes to mind is in our local Super Eight race series [now Bikereg Super Series], Capital ‘Cross Classic. It has great terrain. The course designer and promoter, Bruce Buckley, puts a lot of thought into keeping it fresh and making it challenging. It’s a hard course, but it’s a fun course too. Admittedly, my sample size is not so big since I don’t get out much and travel around the country. There are courses that you hear about that are hard, like [Jingle Cross in] Iowa. I hope to get out and see that. I think that Louisville at Worlds in Eva Bandman Park, it looked hard, and hard in a really fun way. That was one that I did get to see, but I didn’t get to ride.
What are your thoughts on pro-only sections?
They’re mixed. If more courses were more challenging then they wouldn’t be needed. Mostly, I say this as a masters racer who will ride anything that a pro will ride. That said, we have too many easy courses and therefore, pro-only sections have a place.
What was your goal when you designed the Charm City Course?
Personally I thought Charm City was one of the hardest courses I raced this past year, not so much technically but just physically. It was brutal with the mix of elevation on the Mansion Hill and all the punchy climbs.
We don’t have the technical stuff and that’s part of the reason why that course has been so hard. I’m glad you said that. I don’t know whether or not it needs to be kept the way it is. I know it’s hard. There are times where it’s been one of the hardest races that I’ve done throughout the year. It is hard. Because we don’t have some of those defining technical features, we do want it to be hard.
At the same time, I would feel terrible if people came away from it thinking it was just a pedaler’s course. I want to build a driver’s course. You need to have the technical ability to still ride your bike and go fast. I never have really heard that [about Charm City]. I often hear from people that Charm City was one of the hardest courses they did all year, and it was a lot of fun: “It hurt in a way that I loved.” That Ruddervoorde section can be tough [both technically and physically]. It’s hard pedaling but you still have to be thoughtful about steering at the bottom of each descent/climb since the turns are on the off cambers. Fun and hard are synonymous sometimes, but as long as that combination happens, I feel like we’ve done our job.
Great interview about a great course!

The Bobro Engineering LowRider sights are designed from the start to be an extremely low profile set of BUIS for a specific purpose. Many Short Barreled Rifle owners have run into an issue with figuring out how to mount a set of BUIS on the upper and still fit their needed Lights, Lasers and Optics. The idea was to make it so that the Rear Sight was so low profile that there was almost no possible way it could interfere with optics and the Front Sight could easily be mounted under the front arm of the optic mount. This keeps them out of the way, but can still be used in the even the primary optic has a failure. Even though these sights were designed to fill a specific need, they can Mfg: Bobro Engineering.
Google-owned Waymo has operated its public pilot in Phoenix, Arizona, dubbed the Early Rider Program, for just over a year. In that time, the service has picked up about 400 regular riders in the area, and it's brought the total real-world miles driven by Waymo's entire fleet to about 24,000 per day. Most of these riders are very young, very elderly, disabled, or otherwise unable to drive on their own. In order to get a better understanding of what people think of self-driving cars and how the technology could fit into everyday life once it goes mainstream, Waymo gathered data from its Early Rider Program participants and put out the graph seen below and an accompanying report that breaks down the data.
According to Waymo's data, there have been over 20,000 applicants for a ride in the program in total, up from about 6,000 on the first day. Most of the Early Rider Program's accepted riders used the service as transportation to work. Restaurants were the next most popular destination, followed by schools. Bars and spas were also common, and many used the service to get to the shop where their disabled car was waiting for them, which often meant exiting the program after the car was fixed up. Using the service to get to the supermarket and do your shopping was surprisingly low on the list of most popular destinations, with only electronics stores and gyms falling behind it within the confines of the top ten destinations. Waymo's data indicates that applicants cited two main reasons, on the whole, for applying; they wanted to see the new technology firsthand, and they wanted to help foster a safer future on the roads.
The Early Rider Program has made it quite clear that people have a diverse range of reasons for trusting and desiring the advancement of self-driving car technology. One rider witnessed a fatal car accident and didn't want to drive anymore, while another rider wants to take in her local neighborhood without focusing on driving, to name just a couple of cases that Waymo outed. Thanks to the data found in the program thus far, Waymo is working on a few key goals to make the service easier to use, including making it easier for riders to contact Waymo, and getting cars as close as possible to the places where riders want to be picked up, helping them avoid a long walk to a pickup spot.
With changing times, it has almost become the need of the hour for every member of a household to have a personal laptop! While the proposition has a very appealing sound to it, this can often become a daunting idea after all. We say so, for the simple reason, that every once in a while, your laptop might need a good services in terms of the hardware or software, for it to run smoothly, more efficiently. As you must have experienced, quite often a good laptop service center is the solution for this problem. But how do you what makes a service center good or bad? Well, let’s take a look with respect to what a good service center should constitute of, and then you can be the judge of it yourself!
Since working schedules are becoming tighter with each passing day especially in large cosmopolitan cities, it is extremely important that your laptop is up and running at all times. This however is possible only when your Laptop Service Center in Noida is open on all days and avails it services rather instantaneously.
For the simple reason that money is rather difficult to come by and then stay, it is important for us all to save as much money as we can. This makes it imperative for our Laptop Service Centre to offer the best of services priced in an optimal manner so that it doesn’t burn a hole in our pockets.
As clichéd as it may sound, we all know that what makes for a good Dell Service Center is the fact that it offers quite a friendly environment, that doesn’t let you think twice before entering it. And to think about it, it’s rather important for things to be so, considering that it’ll help you a great deal in explain to the technicians the problems that you’re facing and coming up with an optimal solution for the same through an open dialogue with them.
This goes almost without saying that a trusted Service Center must offer all services with utmost efficiency, without any inadmissible lag in the time taken for the delivery of the repaired laptop, or discrepancy in the final billing for the services offered!
Dating back to the late 1700‘s, this may be the oldest western stagecoach stop still in existence in the USA. Today it offers five guest rooms, all named after the notable figures to have stayed at the tavern (which has gone by several different names during its history, including the Old Stone Tavern).
Located at the heart of bourbon whisky country, both Louisville and Lexington are within reasonable driving distance of the hotel.
Among the famous guests who have stayed here were the young Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Daniel Boone, General George S. Patton, Washington Irving, and exiled French King Louis Phillipe in 1797. Jesse James is also reputed to have partaken of too much liquor while here.
Unsurprisingly, the Old Talbott Tavern is also reputed to be haunted.
Since tech businesses have numerous functionalities, it’s not exactly wise to categorize them all into one batch when it comes to WordPress themes. However, that’s why so many theme developers have put together solutions that allow for the ultimate customization. Looking for a tech theme brings up some questions. Most notably, what should you look for in a technology theme? To start, all of the listings below are responsive, and they have lightweight builds with speed in mind. In addition, you’ll find options for pricing tables, eCommerce, service listings and email collecting. Knowledge bases and forums are common for IT companies, while you’re always going to want at least the option of having a blog.
Who Might Find These Tech and Hosting Options Useful?
This one is a little obvious, but the whole point of these themes is to generate websites with modern looks and the functionality for selling and displaying products and services. Therefore, IT, hosting and tech businesses are the obvious choices when thinking about who might find the following themes useful. However, we must also think about some other companies like app developers, freelance designers, software companies and the many other brands that make up this space.
The Nucleus WordPress theme offers a solid start to this list because it’s a multipurpose theme. We say this because it’s often tricky trying to find the ultimate solution for all tech and IT companies. With Nucleus, you have the opportunity to design a website the way you want, but it also caters to the world of technology with certain design elements, icons and typography. First of all, you receive a wide range of premium integrations and plugins, such as the Master Slider plugin for showcasing deals, products and new services. The Visual Composer plugin is packaged in with your purchase for dragging and dropping elements on the backend, while the WooCommerce plugin goes well with the Nucleus theme if you’d like to start collecting money from customers.
With the Nucleus WordPress theme you get to start with six premade homepages, each of which enable you to begin your design without a blank slate. For example, one of them is for an app landing page showcase, while another works nicely for a startup landing page. The responsive design works well on all mobile devices, which is particularly important for boosting your SEO and giving tech customers a chance to contact you while they’re on the go. Each of the demos have their own little features and perks. For example, one of them is built for conferences and events. You gain access to a countdown timer, along with a module for listing off all of the speakers who are going to be at the event. Overall, the Nucleus WordPress theme is an impressive match for the tech world, with an impressive set of demos and features.
Try out the 3D Printing WordPress theme if you’re looking for both a responsive and elegant technology option. Although the developers say that it’s made for 3D printing companies, just about any type of business in the tech sector could have a go at this one. It all starts with the Visual Composer plugin, which allows you to drag and drop elements without touching a line of code. In addition, the Revolution slider plugin is there if you’d like to feature some image slides at the top of your site. The unique design comes with free updates throughout the life of your site, and you’ll find that the wide and boxed width settings get you started with some simple customizations. The unlimited color presets are impressive, as they can certainly help out with branding.
Keep in mind that the 3D Printing theme allows for an online store, so if you’d like to sell and collect money for your products, it’s all done through the theme and potentially an eCommerce plugin like WooCommerce. A parallax effect is prominent in the background, so when a user scrolls down on the page they see the slow movements of your backgrounds to keep the eyes on the most important content. Along with a contact form, the 3D Printing theme comes with a beautiful gallery/portfolio. We like this particularly for those companies that need to show off their past work, since the thumbnail imagery is enough to convince potential clients. As a final note, the theme provides some impressive blog layouts and demo content. This way you don’t need to worry about starting from scratch, and the design process will be that much faster.
Consider the Arlo Tech & Digital Business Theme if you’re interested in a fresh look for your technology business. The multipurpose option gives you an impressive number of demos to get your feet wet, while the gradient slider is pretty easy to manage when you have announcements that all of your site visitors should see. This is a full responsive theme for the best viewing experience on all devices, and the interactive dots background effect is sure to bring eyes to the content that matters most. You get to use the Visual Composer editor plugin, which is by far the best solution on the market. No coding is required, which is particularly useful for beginners with no coding experience. Not to mention, the WooCommerce plugin combines well with the Arlo Tech & Digital Business Theme, turning your site into a beautiful online store.
There are some parallax effects that we’ve noticed on the demo, so if you’d like that to occur on your header then you shouldn’t have any problems at all. In addition, the header/slider provides a simple overlaying button and text module, which we enjoy for announcing new products or inserting a call to action. Since you get so many demos with the Arlo Tech & Digital Business Theme, we would like to outline just a few of them. For example, one of them is built just for a product showcase. Another demo has the functionality for displaying your app and getting people to download it. Some of the other demos include a Vcard, portfolio, portfolio with parallax effect, a simple business demo and more. It’s a solid theme for quite a few business types out there, so give it a try.
The ProHost WordPress theme delivers an impressive number of features for hosting companies. The modern and functional option provides lots of shortcodes for you to play around with. For example, if you’d like to insert a button or column on your homepage, you generally only have to grab a shortcode, eliminating the need to create your own custom CSS. The Visual Composer is yet another handy tool for optimizing your website and speeding up the development process. This is a fully responsive theme that looks just wonderful on tablets, phones and computers. This functionality is only going to help you out with the search engines, and we’re certain your customers will find it pleasing to the eye as well. The two homepage layouts are rather similar to what you would see on any hosting site, with a slider and large call to actions that announce what the hosting pricing looks like. You’ll also find a spot to show pricing plans, for when people would like to signup.
The translation options are rather useful as well, considering so many of the customers that come in for a hosting company are not necessarily going to speak English. Along with that, the ProHost WordPress theme boasts a unique media content manager for when companies need to keep track of imagery and make sure it’s always the right size. WooCommerce also combines nicely with the theme, allowing for you to collect payments from customers who want hosting from you. We talked about shortcodes a little bit above, but the true outlying feature comes in the form of a shortcode builder, which is handy for when you need to create a somewhat unique webpage element without generating your own custom CSS. For example, image formatting and buttons are generally possible through a shortcode builder.
The Future 16 WordPress theme enables you to get your digital technology business off the ground. It comes with the Revolution Slider plugin, and all of the elements on the website looks wonderful on mobile devices. The drag and drop page builder is enough to speed up the development process for both beginners and advanced users, while the unlimited color and background solutions are essential when trying to brand your site and turn it into something a little more unique. The responsive design looks nice on all devices, and you’re bound to love the WooCommerce integration, since it’s just about the easiest plugin implementation you’ll stumble upon.
Overall, the Future 16 WordPress theme has quite a bit to offer. Along with a modern design, shortcode generator and several custom widgets for placing in your footer, it’s one of the broader themes that any tech company could work with.
You can’t create tech websites by following the conventional approach. Rather, you need specialized templates like IT company for developing fully featured IT and technology sites. As the theme supports several post types and formats, you can publish different types of content. The powerful admin panel includes the necessary options to control the appearance.
The WPML-certified template is perfect for multilingual IT sites. There are lots of shortcodes for creating different elements. The custom widgets will be useful for building the sidebar and footer sections. Since you will get lifetime updates, there’s no need to worry about the functionality and compatibility in the future.
The clean, modern design of Endeavor makes it a great choice for developing IT company websites. There are more than 50 different widget positions to help you create any layout you want. You can use both photos and videos in the integrated full-screen slider. The real-time customizer allows you to make various changes and check out the output at the same time.
You can choose any of the five built-in color schemes or create your own. As the template comes pre-packaged with the “Coming Soon” and 404 pages, you won’t have to create these from scratch.

Based on this verse, if Caleb’s brother was the son of Kenaz, would that not imply Caleb was the son of Kenaz? This would fit with the title of “the Kenizzite.” Although this does not fit with the prior established relationship to the tribe of Judah because Kenaz was a descendant of Esau.
Personally, I do not have the answer as to whether Caleb was a Jew or Gentile. What we do know is that he was the head of the tribe of Judah, that he fully followed G-d, he had a different spirit, and he received an inheritance in the land. The most important aspect of Caleb, and what was emphasized throughout Scripture was his actions, not his ethnicity.
Paul toiled in sharing with many that being a Jew is not the way to eternal life. It is only through the blood of Messiah Yeshua.
Speaking of blood, the following verse is an interesting description of blood and atonement.
The context of this verse was the various rules regarding a murderer, manslayer, and avenger of blood. Clearly Numbers 35:33 contains the additional command not to pollute the land through bloodshed. Although the second part of the verse implies that atonement cannot occur without blood. Nor can there be the forgiveness of sins without blood. (Heb. 9:22) Added onto the truth of blood as a requirement for atonement, Numbers 35:33 specified the source of atoning blood as “of the one who shed it.” Essentially blood pollutes AND atones? It is a bit easier to understand by adding more detail based on context. In other words, innocent blood pollutes the land because of the murderer’s sin, but it is the blood of the murderer (or administering of justice) that atones for the land. The Hebrew word for “shed” is shaphak and the first usage is in Genesis 9.
This verse further explains the execution of justice G-d requires in regard to a murderer. Does it not make sense why the shedding of innocent blood “pollutes the land?” The word for pollute in Hebrew is chaneph which literally means “to be profaned.”1 Since man was made in G-d’s own image an act of murder also profanes G-d in addition to the land. Both sins bear the death penalty. Both sins require blood for atonement. If the blood of an animal or a convicted murderer can provide atonement than how much more can the blood of an innocent righteous man provide atonement in an eternal sense?
“Said R. Ammi, Wherefore is the account of Miriam’s death placed next to the [laws of the] red heifer? To inform you that even as the red heifer afforded atonement [by the ritual use of its ashes], so does the death of the righteous afford atonement [for the living they have left behind].
Stringing together the various passages describing atonement and including quotes from Talumdic Sages reveal the nature of G-d’s justice, conditions of atonement, and the role His Son plays. The more we study these passages the more we will understand the incredible sacrifice of Messiah Yeshua. And hopefully these passages will fan the passionate flames in our hearts to sanctify His Name in this world and proclaim the Gospel!

A top pain-relief specialist at Yale Medicine busts the myths around epidural anesthesia.
Ferne Braveman, MD, explains the options available for women for anesthesia during childbirth.
An epidural allows pain-blocking medication to be delivered to a woman in labor via a catheter inserted in the lower back.
An estimated 60 percent of American women choose an epidural for pain relief during childbirth.
With a low dose epidural, women can still get up and walk around during labor.
Yale Medicine is the only facility in the state to offer around-the-clock obstetrical anesthesia service supervised by anesthesiologists with advanced training in obstetrical care.
An epidural delivers less medication into the patient’s bloodstream than intravenous medications or nitrous oxide, and very little of it reaches the baby.
When it comes to childbirth, many women understandably worry about pain. Some have heard frightening accounts from friends and family members of deliveries that, with each retelling, seem to lengthen by hours. Others have phobias about needles and are anxious about receiving an epidural, yet have qualms about going through labor without one.
Ferne Braveman, MD, division chief of anesthesiology at Yale Medicine and professor of anesthesiology and of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences, is familiar with those concerns.
Dr. Braveman says her job is to make sure women—who today are more informed and empowered when it comes to deciding what works best for them—understand their options, including those that do not involve medications. More often than not, epidural pain relief is part of their childbirth experience.
To explore the options for anesthesia in childbirth, click here.
What is an epidural, anyway?
About 60 percent of American women receive an epidural for pain relief during childbirth. During the procedure, an anesthesiologist inserts a needle and a tiny catheter into a woman’s lower back. The catheter delivers pain-blocking medication. Women begin to feel relief “within four contractions, or 10 to 12 minutes, with peak effect after 15 minutes,” Dr. Braveman says.
The epidural infusion contains an anesthetic and a narcotic. These block pain signals in the lower part of the body. With a low dose, women can get up and walk around.
I always tell women to not listen to their mother or sister or friend. No one ever tells you about their wonderful birthing experience.
