Yes, a version of this post was submitted for Totally Tae Kwon Do.

Like you I found the same problem with students that just didn't have the skill for traditional sparring when they did not have a good foundation in pre-arranged sparring.

There was a time when I required my students to only do improvised step sparring without giving them any prerequisite attacks and defenses, but I soon realized that they just do not have the virtuosity that such a drill requires. So I returned to providing them with a specific set for three-step sparring and then slowly gave them more and more freedom as they progressed, leading them from initially very fixed set sparring, to eventual complete freedom and improvisation.

With such trial and error as an instructor I came to really appreciate how the sparring-continuum works. It turns out that General Choi's pedagogic is very sensible after all!

I probably also agree with you that "Competition sparring is something I would see as a support drill and not part of the main sequence." It teaches valuable lessons, so I wouldn't want to abandon it, but it doesn't really fit in with the "systematic progression from prearranged abstraction to 'reality based' [combat]".

Btw, it is nice to see you around here at Soo Shim Kwan!SooShimKwanhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232825159765940340.post-77123888518623651772012-06-16T03:21:28.747+02:002012-06-16T03:21:28.747+02:00Nice article, I read this some time ago, maybe whe...Nice article,
I read this some time ago, maybe when it was first posted, and put it in the 'things to think about later' folder. But essentially I saw no value in the pre-arranged sparring at the time.

I have entirely changed my thinking since. One key aspect I had not previously seen was the continuum from three-step to free (traditional) sparring, despite actually reading this post - sometimes the epiphanies need to be experienced, as opposed to learned.
In my case it was a reverse-engineering type situation (sidenote: anytime I actually make real progress it usually involves some sort of reverse-engineering).

I began to introduce free sparring (half speed, no rules or gear)into my classes but then found I needed support drills to introduce the necessary skills. Even well seasoned competition sparrers were at a loss when the gloves came off and the rules went out the window.

It quickly became clear that the various step sparring and semi-free drills, if drilled properly, made up the support structure I was looking for, and had almost certainly been designed for the purpose.

Competition sparring is something I would see as a support drill and not part of the main sequence. It teaches valuable lessons, many that can't be safely learned elsewhere, concerning speed, aggression, and pressure, but is too far removed technically to be a good fit.Stuarthttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232825159765940340.post-7744391956485246412012-06-05T19:17:37.804+02:002012-06-05T19:17:37.804+02:00No, actually the ITF Encyclopedia is a 15 volume s...No, actually the ITF Encyclopedia is a 15 volume set of books that were authored by Gen. Choi Hong-Hi. Up until recently few people had the full 15 volume set, but most ITF TKD instructors invest in the cheaper and more convenient one volume "Condensed Encyclopedia", aka ITF TKD Bible.

In recent times I have come across the encyclopedia in electronic form (the pages have been laboriously scanned in) and made available online.

While on the topic, I just recently got hold of a Korean version of the 15 volume set -- definitely a rare thing to own.SooShimKwanhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232825159765940340.post-35054042614388264712012-06-03T21:01:17.491+02:002012-06-03T21:01:17.491+02:00I've not often heard of the ITF Encylopedia me...I've not often heard of the ITF Encylopedia mentioned in TKD users in the states, however.

The ITF E seems to be a set of videos, correct? Many American martial artists, especially the ones that learned the "real traditional arts" after having seen too many mcDojos, don't tend to favor video learning for beginners. Thus I don't think they would even mention it, even if they had made use of the ITF E. Whether due to price, lack of availability, unpopularity, or intentional misleading of students, this knowledge is not widely available from what I've seen, even for students of TKD in the US.

The US primarily uses firearms for civilian self defense and the largest gang infested urban cities are coincidentally the most heavily restricted in terms of firearms and knives. South Africa dojangs and dojos may go out of their way to highlight the difference between having fun in sparring and getting killed because a student thought sparring was a life and death training scenario. In the US, the only people that need such knowledge live in urban neighborhoods or heavily gang infested cities, and their first option is the gun, not the kick.

I live in Georgia, right on the SW corner of the US. In Georgia and Florida, sometimes the SWAT teams come busting in trying to raid drug lords, but somehow got the wrong address. The first SWAT guy through the door of "no knock raids" got blown away by the resident. The resident was either arrested or killed in return. But that just proves a point. Here in Georgia, if the police wants to do stupid things and lord it over the rest, they're going to pay a price. Both publicly and physically. Against criminals, there are many households in Georgia that a criminal can go in. But can't get out without being in a body bag.

 So often criminals in the entire state carefully stake out houses and burglarize them, when they absolutely know nobody is at home. This has resulted in a pragmatical low demand for H2H knowledge and realism.

This should help to explain TKD's reputation in the US, if you also look at the Korean founders of the ATA and other TKD organizations inside the US.

There has been a resurgence of uniquely American methods of training, such as Larkin, Rory Miller, or Peynton Quinn and other "reality based" systems in the last few decades, but as of yet, they have almost zero popularity or name recognition amongst American martial artists.Ymar firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232825159765940340.post-12709035021590846182012-06-03T03:37:12.564+02:002012-06-03T03:37:12.564+02:00"There should not be a list about the restric..."There should not be a list about the restrictions.

Hi Ymar,

The rules are very much outlined and the goal of each drill is explained. However, the fact that the ITF Encyclopaedia actually takes the time to say how such drills are not realistic, I think, is quite unique. Most styles do not take the time to remind students that what they are doing (e.g. step sparring) are not "real fighting", misleading many practitioners into thinking that such drills are actual combat training instead of mere skill development exercises.SooShimKwanhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232825159765940340.post-972524840055241302012-06-02T19:57:18.679+02:002012-06-02T19:57:18.679+02:00There should not be a list about the restrictions....There should not be a list about the restrictions. The rules should be posted, and the goal of each drill or method should be clearly explained and labeled.

The number 1 reason why students get fixated on certain things like winning in sparring is because they think winning in sparring means they have obtained skill and the ability to handle themselves outside the dojo/dojang. That's not exactly hot it works. But since nobody told them this, and they certainly weren't told this every day in the dojo, they got into a habit.Ymar email@example.com

Wouldn't you fight?
So I have listened amusingly to people who love to beat up on Band of Brothers…err Kenzoku now, whatever their name. For some reason people seem to think I am allied with the Russians ( supposedly, -A-) Yet, most of the people in Goonswarm I have fought seem to only know Cryllic(Russian). Why do I mention this? The EvE tribune had one such article here
While it seems that many people wish Kenzoku to fall flat on their face, we in Systematic -Chaos ( an ITALIAN alliance, with some American Corps and Germans and some other Europeans thrown into the mix, oh yes and some Swedish Players too) are allied against the nasty pain-in-the-ass craptastic alliance known as Goonswarm.
Many may say "why, when all the fish are swimming with the current, are you going the opposite way??" Fair question. I am a mule. I do things my own way as does my corporation and Alliance and others who disapprove or say I should do this and that and whatever be damned! Ever now and again some nice, young voluptuous woman might appease my ego and perhaps encourage me to think in a subtly different way, but I am a fairly strong willed guy. Mynxee , Shae, Venom Orchid among others (who seem to be more wise than I)have subtly influenced my thoughts on pirates and other types, but I can be stubborn.
Here is how I looked at the whole 'invasion' thing:
Big ole neighbor from the other area (GS) decided one day to invade a neighbor of mine (KzK) who I never had reason to be mad at. Everyone wants to beat up on (KzK) for past transgressions as they were 'evicted' from the 'home'. I had been arguing with (GS) for a while, and in EvE terms been fighting them for a few months. I (our alliance) had never a problem with BoB) All of a sudden, (GS) decides to take (KzK') 'house'. I live next door to the old 'KzK' house. I wonder if they want my 'house' next. Which they supposedly abandoned , while leaving quite a few gaurds in place, and lost a ton of money, as well as a jump bridge network. Need I elaborate further?
Of course, I am going to fight them, if my old neighbor needs a place to hang out and several neighbors(Stain,-A-, C0ven) decide to beat up on the interloper (GS) then so be it, (GS) brought it upon themselves. I would also argue MOST people would fight them, so I think people are either hypocritical or like to see people fall. I am neither a hypocrite, nor do I like seeing anyone fall. I am also fairly territorial about where I live, is it my space? No, not really, but if someone wants it, they will have to destroy every ship I have, all my assets, and then maybe I'll go away…for a day. In this way, I identify with the Kenzoku players, and I have never ever professed any love for the Goon Alliance.
Let me know if my stubbornness really irritates ya. I cannot promise I will come around to your way of thinking but I am not foolish in the extreme, either and I am quite logical. Am I off my rocker? Wouldn't you all fight with Kenzoku if they were you're neighbor? ( don't worry if, I am off my rocker, It is a comfy place and not many coax me from my stubborness cave)
5 Responses to "Wouldn't you fight?"
In my little corp of casual industrialists, I think on balance we are urging BoB on (I still think of them that way). Perhaps because when we started playing was just about the time of the original attack on NOL at the beginning of 08, and therefore somewhat strangely perhaps when I started they were an underdog.
And perhaps we just generally dislike an alliance that behaves like Goons behave. Sure, BoB are about as arrogant as one can get, but they actually do have some reason to be. Goons … meh.
I have a friend in Goonfleet. He keeps trying to tell me not to judge them by their PR. I am … unconvinced.
Though actually, when all is said and done, all I care about is how 0.0 warfare is going to affect material prices back in Empire.
Well tbh I have nothing against either alliance. I've been on the both side of the conflict… well earlier conflicts but it's all the same. I have nothing against kenny as they've never done anything wrong by my views, someone goes to live in 0.0 and claims territory run the risk of being invaded. And I've nothing against Goons either, first of all I, atleast hope to, see beyond the smacktard image they broadcast and second GS fleet ops have been some of the best fleet ops I've been on… atleast the most fun. As to what playing the game only to break things… I play the game only to break things, so how could I critize someone else upon that play-style.
But all in all I just couldn't give a hoot what happens in 0.0, unless it provides me with a) targets to shoot (kenny fleeing from the war 🙂
b) chances to profit (regions left empty of pvp oriented people)
well I guess it is trying to pick the best of two. Frankly I could never even consider flying with Goonswarm, to say assholes, denigrates assholes the world over. NO rather they suck ass, for every reason, they wish to 'play' to 'break' things…compound all the little evil 12 yr old boys in the Khmer rouge and you might get close…too me there was no choice…death to goons.
Actually I think most people in EVE couldn't care less about either alliance. It's like asking which would you prefer moving in beside you? A serial killer or a psychopath?
On one side you've got the elitist Kenny (we're better than you because we're older than you and we don't take any new players in) and on the other you've got the Goons (we're the zerg oh and we'll be assholes about it while we're zerging you). Not much to like about either of em as institutions. Mind you based on the dark world setting of EVE they are probably the absolute best roleplayers EVE could ask for.

Noticing more potholes? Here's why
INDIANAPOLIS — Commuters likely will be seeing more potholes these days, and temperatures that bounce around the freezing mark are mostly to blame.
Potholes are formed when water seeps into the ground and the road base, eventually making its way into the pavement. When temperatures get cold, that water freezes, expanding within the pavement and pushing it upward.
When the weather gets warmer, the ice melts, leaving behind a bubble in the pavement where the ice once was. When cars drive over those bubbles, they pop, crumbling into a cavity beneath the wheels.
Potholes have cost U.S. drivers about $3 billion a year for the past five years in damage to their vehicles, according to an American Automobile Association survey done earlier this year. That's an average repair bill of more than $300, and about 15% of drivers have reported sustaining enough damage to require a repair in the past five years.
Other earlier studies have put the costs as high as $6.4 billion yearly.
Confrontation with a pothole can be a costly one
Besides avoiding a pothole when possible, you can do the following to minimize vehicle damage before you head out on the road, according to AAA MountainWest:
• Make sure tires are inflated properly and have enough tread; they're the cushion between your wheel's rims and a pothole.
• Slow down, release the brakes and straighten the steering wheel if contact with a pothole is inevitable.
• Remain alert, scan the road and increase the distance between you and the vehicle ahead to look for potholes before it's too late.
Repair of the potholes themselves costs taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars annually across the USA. A concrete number nationwide is hard to come by because individual cities and counties fix roads in their own jurisdictions, and each state handles higher-volume arteries such as federal highways.
This year's potholes create market for tire insurance
For example, the state of Michigan estimates it spent $8.8 million in fiscal 2013 to repair potholes. Even in a smaller state such as Delaware, officials said they spent $2.2 million in fiscal 2010 to fix potholes. Oklahoma City alone spends $1 million a year to repair as many as 90,000 potholes.
The good news: Potholes can be fixed — with varying degrees of success.
The bad news: They might just be patched until springtime when the continuous freezing and thawing of the ground tapers off and road construction season begins.

Gods & Mortals - Autumn 1In this section...
This topic transports us back in history to Ancient Greece where we learn about the fantastical world full of mythical creatures and legendary heroes and gods, such as, Poseidon, Apollo, Artemis and Zeus. At the start of the topic, we take part in a workshop where we dress as a Greek god, learn about significant events, play games that were typically played and even take part in our own Ancient Greek Olympics!
Throughout the topic, we learn about a number of Greek myths and go on to write our own as well as a focus on character descriptions and diary writing. We combine this work with our Computing learning as we create a storyboard to make a animation program.
We find out about the origins of democracy and understand the difference between Athens and Sparta using our debating skills. We also explore the Greek Theatre and how this played an important role in the way of life for Ancient Greeks. As part of this, in D&T, we investigate, design and make our own Greek masks.
Although the main focus for this topic is History, we also have lots of fun making and decorating Pandora's boxes, linking to our learning of 3D shapes in Maths. In addition to this, we make our own Ancient Greek vases in Art.
We use our Ancient Greece focus to learn more about modern day Greece in Geography, its location in mainland Europe, its environmental and physical features and how these compare with maps of Ancient Greece.
We study 'Light' in Science and learn how light travels, how shadows are created and explore why they change size. We research the dangers of the Sun and how we can protect our eyes from this.
Our Music genre this half term is 'R&B' and PE lessons comprise of Gymnastics and Football.
RE explores 'How Does Faith Helps Us? and Harvest, thinking about how faith can help people and provide them with strength.
During this half term in PHSE we explore the theme 'New Beginnings'. We focus on the different kinds of responsibility in school and how we can stay positive when faced with new challenges.
Year 3 is an exciting as we begin to learn French! We learn how to greet each other, say our names...and much, much more!

An Accounting-Based Asset Pricing Model and a Fundamental Factor
80 Pages Posted: 10 Jun 2019
Date Written: May 1, 2019
This paper recasts the consumption asset pricing model in terms of observable accounting outcomes by recognizing accounting principles that connect those outcomes to consumption and the risk to consumption. The model prompts the construction of a pricing factor from observed accounting information that contrasts to existing models where accounting data often enter via data dredging. The factor performs well relative to standard factors in explaining cross-sectional returns. Further, it delivers out-of-sample expected returns that forecast the actual returns that investors receive and the forward betas that investors actually experience. The factor return has little correlation with the market portfolio and exhibits the property of protecting payoffs in bad states when consumption is low. This prompts a two-factor representation that combines the market portfolio and a zero-beta portfolio with a hedge against loss to consumption.

High performance 24 and 48 volt systems for off grid cabins, sheds, trailers or anything....
Catalog is empty.
With the bigger systems, budget allocation is key, so we customize kits your project. Feel free to call 503-501-7733 to discuss.
At about 500 Watts, the poor performance and expense of 12 volt systems start to outweigh the convenience of standardized 12 V devices. The very maximum we can do 12 Volts is about 1500W per charge controller. The problem is that we need to use very big, expensive wire to move more than 500 Watts at 12 Volts, especially over a long distance. The easiest,cheapest, and most effective way to remedy this is by raising the system voltage. Voltage acts like water pressure, the more the better. It is much easier to push a large flow of water (AMPS) through large pipes (Wire) with HIGH PRESSURE (High Volts). High voltage is good and it becomes necessary at about 1300 Watts.
Possibly the greatest advantage is the cost savings. Raising the voltage means we can use a much smaller, less expensive charge controllers while increasing performance at the same time. When we move to 24 Volts, we double our charge controller capacity (cutting our controller costs in half). When we go to 48 Volts we quadruple our capacity (CUTTING CONTROLLER COST BY 75%!). A thoughtfully executed system can save you thousands.
Since having 12 volts available is a very nice thing, we use a simple and inexpensive converter so we can utilize 12 volt accessories.
Batteries and equipment are standardized to increments of 6 or 12 volts, so 6V, 12V, 24V, 36V and 48V. We need to keep this in mind when we size the battery bank. For example, if we wanted to use a 48 Volt system we would need 8- 6V or 4- 12V batteries.

Porter is a dark-coloured style of beer. The history and development of stout and porter are intertwined.[1] The name was first used in the 18th century from its popularity with the street and river porters of London. It is generally brewed with dark malts. The name "stout" for a dark beer came about because a strong porter may be called "Extra Porter" or "Double Porter" or "Stout Porter". The term "Stout Porter" would later be shortened to just "Stout". For example, Guinness Extra Stout was originally called "Extra Superior Porter" and was only given the name Extra Stout in 1840.
Historically, many American breweries had a porter in their product range, including P. Ballantine & Sons (who were well known for other specialty styles as well, including a well regarded India Pale Ale and a Brown Stout). The Yuengling brewery in Pennsylvania has long had a Porter among its offerings and continues to do so today. Another well known Pennsylvania porter was Stegmaier; while the original company is defunct, the brand is still produced by the Lion Brewery. The microbrewery revival of the past twenty five years has led to a resurgence in the popularity of the style, with many new varieties available around the world, including offerings from Deschutes, Sierra Nevada, Anchor, Catamount, and many others.

Shanghai Airlines celebrated the delivery of its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and 100th airplane from Boeing on Friday. The new plane delivered to Shanghai Airlines marks the airline's 100th plane in service, and a special "100" symbol has been emblazoned on the plane's fuselage to mark its debut.
In addition to the aircraft's "100" designation, the airplane also has a unique and "lucky" registration number: B-1111. The airline, part of the China Eastern Airlines Group, has 10 787-9s with GE GEnx-1B engines on order that will be delivered from 2019 to 2021.
Shanghai Airlines will first be deploying the aircraft on popular domestic services to Chengdu and Beijing, as well as regional services to Japan and South Korea. As the carrier's 787 fleet grows, it plans to take advantage of the aircraft's long range and superior fuel efficiency to open new international routes and compete with domestic rivals Air China and China Southern.
"We are thrilled to expand our long-standing partnership with Shanghai Airlines and the China Eastern Group" Ihssane Mounir, senior vice president of Commercial Sales & Marketing for Boeing said. "The 787 Dreamliner's unmatched performance, operating economics and comfort make it the perfect airplane for Shanghai Airlines to expand and enhance their international network."
There has been no word on the interior design or cabin configuration of the plane, but earlier this year the airline made an announcement in Chinese on its Weibo and WeChat social media accounts that the plane would feature 285 seats: 4 first-class seats, 26 business-class seats, 28 premium economy seats, and 227 economy seats. The announcement with mock-up pictures has been seen as strange as the 787-9 typically flies passengers in a two-class configuration and the airline currently offers neither a first class nor a premium economy cabin.
Shanghai Airlines is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Eastern Airlines based at Shanghai's two major airports, Pudong and Hongqiao. The airline primarily flies to destinations within China, and its international destinations include Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. The airline also operates some services for China Eastern Airlines using its own aircraft and crew.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PBM Products for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Have you moms and dads heard of Parent's Choice Infant Formula Savings Sweepstakes? It's a "generic" brand of baby formula that costs a fraction of the price of the fancy name-brand baby formula. The Parent's Choice Infant formula is exclusively sold at Walmart as Walmart's private brand baby formula. It's a terrific cost saver. There is absolutely no nutritional difference between the name-brand formulas and Parent's Choice. All formula sold in the United States must meet basic nutritional guidelines, and Parent's Choice does. The only real difference between the two is the price. So save yourself some cash and get the Parent's Choice– they've been in business for 13 years and have a reptutation for nutritious, inexpensive baby formula.
Another good reason to use Parent's Choice is the Parent's Choice Infant Formula Sweepstakes! It's so easy to enter! Just go to the Parent's Choice sweepstakes page and sign up. No purchase necessary. The prize is a $10,000 college scholarship in the form of a College Savings 529 Plan! The contest is already up and running, and will continue until August 1, 2011. So get your entry in. And save the money by buying Parent's Choice forumla!

POP BITS. Jessie J has supposedly let the name of her new album slip during an interview with Glamour. Her second LP will allegedly be called 'Gold' and we are hoping for a Spandau Ballet cover to accompany it, anyone with us? No? :-(
The Voice Coach told the mag that she had to "really dig deep" for inspiration for songs- Ahhhh, we get why it's called 'Gold' now! She also said that when she hears her new album it's as though "her insides are smiling"- This means that it's either very good or Jessie ate a dodgy curry last night (we're going with the first option).
The 'Domino' singer also added that her next single will be "straight up pop" which is music to our ears (they don't call us Maximum Pop! for nothing, you know). POP BITS OUT.

Secret Santa Goodies!
December 30, 2012
I feel a little sheepish. I seriously tore into this shit last night even though three of my packages will not arrive at their destinations until next week. I couldn't help it, I got a craving. And that craving was satisfied! The gifts are amazing! A hand-formed bowl, a cribbage set, a necklace, soft leather gloves, an art-deco patterned hand-knit scarf, amazing sun and moon delicately forged earrings, yummy treats, vanilla salt, and a tiny leather pouch that now contains loose elastic ties that I need and lose every day. Slacks received two cat nip triangles. He dosed and performed skate-boarding tricks against the back of the couch for hours.
Maybe next year our animals should do the Secret Santa. First they would need to get to know each other through a pen-pal exchange. "Slacks! I like scratching! I like chasing the hens around the yard! I wear a gray sweater!It's a v-neck!"

The holidays have come and gone. I might have missed them. Where am I these days?
Sarah and I hosted a Xmas Eve gathering, reprising last year's role as stand-in parents for those that could not make it home. I made truffles with Mexican chocolate and salt. Sarah cooked everything else. That night I slept soundly and dreamt that Mary, the woman who manages my production, was actually my biological mother. She told me she loved me but no sound came out. Or perhaps I simply could not hear it.
And now we're on the other side. A normal day. Expectations abound! I am behind on everything but I blame it all on the Secret Santa project. Five boxes full of goodies are heading out tomorrow. For those two ladies that live in Portland, I will make the deadline of the 27th. Um, for everyone else, it's gonna be a bit late. But worth it! I spent many hours cultivating each box so that when opened they will surprise and delight. So much love from me to you.

My mom was in town last week. How I looked forward to her arrival! And how I despaired when I then found myself in a foul mood.
I regret every single moment where I could have been more patient and kind with her, when I caused her to feel unloved. She is overwhelmed by trying to give me what I am asking for. She is only trying to follow my lead and yet I consistently run ahead, just out of reach. When I wait, it is often only to scold.
After she left I hung my head. I asked for her forgiveness and of course, she gave it without hesitation or blame. Her heart embraces us both. She is still the mother, I am still the child.

|It had never fallen over before...
This is what we found.
It took both Adam and I to remove the basketball net from my car but were surprised that the ONLY thing that got damaged was the windshield! There was already a stone chip from the week after I bought the car (repaired, but always irritatingly visible), so I latched onto the bright side of the situation in that I would likely have to get a new windshield.
|Perfect aim
In the morning, we checked it out more closely. No question, a new windshield was needed. We did find one tiny area of paint on the edge of the hood that needed a touch up (~3 mm long paint chip), but that was the extent of the damage.
|Yes, I think it is broken.
Will be selling the basketball net in the near future...

What should my child wear to train at Vertical Zone?
All athletes who jump at Vertical Zone must wear suitable gym attire. Children should wear 1 piece gymnastics leotards and/or lycra or cotton shorts and a properly sized T-shirt. No zippers, ballet skirts or loose-fitting clothing are permitted. Long hair must be tied back. Dangling earrings, bracelets, watches, anklets, rings, or necklaces should be left at home. Athletes are barefoot or wear socks in the gym. Open wounds or warts must be bandaged with athletic tape and socks must be worn.
If I miss a recreational class, do I get a make-up class?
If Vertical Zone cancels classes due to unforeseen circumstances, we will provide make up classes for those athletes affected by the cancellation. If your athlete misses a class for personal reasons, there will be no make-up class, as our programs are purposefully scheduled and staffed according to registrations.
Can I just drop in to jump on a trampoline?
We strongly recommend that you call ahead to reserve trampoline time. Availability is limited, due to prioritizing time and space for recreational and competitive programs.
What is a GO fee?
As a member club of Gymnastics Ontario (GO), we are required to pay additional insurance fees directly to GO. These fees protect the athlete and club by providing additional insurance if necessary. Being a GO accredited club insures your athletes are being coached by trained National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) coaches. Below is the link to Gymnastics Ontario website that explains what the Membership Fee covers.
Can I leave the gym, once I've dropped my athlete off for a recreational class or public jump booking?
Parents must remain at Vertical Zone for athletes 4 years and younger, or for any athletes who will require assistance going to the bathroom. For safety reasons, our coaches will not leave their group unsupervised, and there are rarely additional staff available to provide 2-1, staff-camper, supervision required when managing personal care issues. For public jumpers, we request parents and caregivers remain at the gym in case of emergency.
My athlete is progressing very well in their recreational class and is interested in competing. How can my athlete join Vertical Zone's competitive team?
Competitive team tryouts usually occur in the summer. However, you can email our Head Coach, Allison Mackay (email@example.com) to inquire about a tryout at anytime. If there is still space on the competitive team, Allison will book a tryout time for your athlete. When the competitive team is full, there are Elite Recreational classes for those athletes who are waitlisted for competition opportunities.
Are there subsidies available for my child to participate in your recreational programs?
Vertical Zone is committed to creating a fun, fitness experience while learning the fundamentals of trampoline.
*Vertical Zone is not responsible for availability or eligibility of any third-party funding agencies. Registrations cannot be held without payment in full. All registrations, regardless of funding source are subject to Vertical Zone's refund policy.

ALTHOUGH NOT A HUGE FAN OF COUNTDOWNS, I have decided to count down to my friend Emily's wedding, at which I will be a hostess. I will count down to her "big day"—she hates this phrase—with wedding-related media.
Before the official countdown begins, you can view a selection of photos from Emily's recent lingerie shower, hosted by our mutual longtime friend Tiffany, at her and her husband's home in Spring, to which I happily carpooled. The bride-to-be's older sister promptly left after one too many sumptuous bustiers emerged from their Victoria's Secret and Frederick's boxes. The future sister-in-law gave Emily a Victoria's Secret gift card, for obvious reasons.
One of my favorite pastimes when I'm at my parents' house is to look at old photo albums. I often find myself, sitting Indian style on the carpet, hunched over piles of mismatched photo albums. Some of the albums' pages have yellowed considerably. Some have completely come unbound. Yet, the photos remain carefully arranged underneath the sheets of thin plastic.
In my sister's baby album, fortunes on small white paper rectangles from long eaten fortune cookies whimsically adorn the margins. The rounded edged photos, now tawny in color, slide off the pages on which they once adhered.
Somewhere in the pile of photo albums lives the wedding photo above of my paternal grandparents, taken in 1943, in the city of Yong'an in Fujian. Three years later, my father was born in Shanghai. Another son and three girls followed.
If you turn the photo over, you see it is actually a postcard, which I imagine they had made and sent to a number of people with a message of the "Just Married" variety. In fact, having a small wedding (though, according to my father, his parents' wedding was a rather large celebration) followed by mailing out wedding photo-postcards sounds kind of nice.
For whatever reason, this particular wedding photo-postcard was never sent and, sixty-five years later, ended up in the hands of their granddaughter.

Let's Talk about Church & Industry
Let's Talk about Church & Industry
By Patti Pennington
In today's church things have truly changed with who we are and where we are. Things that they we use to do we aren't doing anymore. I could remember a time where the pulpit was so sacred and we dare not go in the pulpit to play around, let alone wear pants as a lady. Today's generation said that's old school. What is Old school verses new school, when God is the same as yesterday and forever more?
Often time's people find themselves changing who they are for Sunday morning, because of competition and wanting front row positions. It almost seems as if some spirit of arrogance similar to an "I've arrived attitude", and has pushed generations including some ole schoolers away from wanting to enter the building. Instead they would rather sit on the couch with ice cream and watch televised ministries. Is this new way to worship some would say they would rather not deal with the politics of the church, the fighting over the seats, the pointing finger blame and the hearsay.
What's your identity? Is it possible a person can be who they are when they are at work, school, grinding and at home? A few men and women said, church isn't the same the way we once knew it. Has the church lost their identity in saying come as you are and yet point their finger as soon as dismissal is over? Let's talk about it!

Two and a half weeks ago, Dave and I went to the hospital for my anatomy ultrasound. This is done around the 20-week mark (5 months) and checks your baby from head to toe… Including checking for the gender if you want to find out! We did, but we decided it would be fun to do a little get together with our families and to be surprised all together at the same time. So we asked the ultrasound tech to write down the gender on a paper and put it in an envelope for us so. For TWO WHOLE WEEKS I had this envelope and didn't peek (I promise!). One of my best friends was the designated "finder-outer" of the gender so that she could help me prepare a really cool gender reveal.
After a lot of searching on Pinterest, I found an idea that I really liked and decided that would be the way we would reveal the gender. It included a large, opaque black party balloon, lots of confetti, and helium. I thought this idea was super cute – that the parents-to-be would sit under the balloon and pop it above their heads so that the confetti flew out all around them – great for photos! So my friend set out with the gender-envelope in hand to buy the correctly-coloured confetti and go to the party store the morning of the reveal to get the balloon prepared.
Our reveal theme was Bows or Arrows, which I really loved because it was, again, unique and not super "gender specific" though I did definitely girl- and boy-it-up to make it more differentiated. We used bows for girl (like hair bows) and arrows for boys. I had cut out glittery gold bows, and black arrows with double sided tape on the back so that each guest had to choose their guess for Baby Pitman and wear it on their clothes for the reveal. I added this theme into as much of the decor as possible, as you can see from the photos.
A few tips and tricks I want to share with you, because I am really happy with what we chose for the reveal and I thought it was really cute, but if I could do it over again there are a few things I would change! I still stand by this being a great, unique idea rather than cutting into a cake or letting balloons fly out of a box (both of which are also cute ideas, no offence to anyone who has used those! I just wanted to do something different).
1) Get a friend, not a family member, to help with the prep of the reveal. This means that you and everyone else in your family are completely surprised together and no one in your immediate family is "in the know" before you!
2) Make sure that the friend you are asking to help is the most reliable, organized, and trustworthy friend you have… Seriously, this is a big deal!!! (Thanks, Sheila! xx)
3) Make an appointment with a party store in advance to ensure that they have the proper materials needed (the right kind of balloons, helium, ability to put confetti inside, etc.) and leave yourself extra time to have them get the balloon ready. Sheila told me that they actually popped 2 balloons full of confetti before getting it right! AH!
4) Use tissue paper (or similar) style confetti. This is the lightest confetti you can get it and it bursts so nicely up into the air and then floats down. I was nervous that this confetti was going to be literally ALL OVER my house, but it stayed pretty contained and was fairly easy to clean up! Find what I used here.
5) Pick a theme and DIY some cute decor. Leading up to the event I kept saying I wasn't going to "go overboard" with decor because we were just having an intimate gathering with only family… But I am so glad that I decided to make some cute decor to spruce up the table, because now looking back on the photos I really love what it looked like! There are so many cute ideas out there, and Pinterest (as usual) was my best friend!
6) Provide some delicious food for your guests to snack on. I decided to do a full brunch since it was just our family coming over, but I honestly didn't do much of the cooking. My mom did most of it, along with some help from my mother-in-law and most-trusted friend 😉 But even though it was brunch, I needed something sweet to top off the day, and went with these gorgeous and delicious cupcakes from Short & Sweet Bakeshop! They also filled them with blue icing as a second "reveal" (it was also nice to have a back-up reveal just in case the balloon didn't work properly for some reason!)
1) Expect professional-looking photos if you hand a camera to one of your family members at the last minute and tell them to "point and shoot." 😉 I am so glad we got this captured on video and photos, but I think in my mind I was hoping for that perfect shot, even though I didn't ask anyone to prepare for this in advance.
2) Use metallic confetti. We didn't do this, due to the fact that I read some great reviews beforehand and also under the advice of the party store we used. Metallic confetti can be sharp and could potentially cut the balloon from the inside. It is also very heavy and will fall quickly, making for a confusing "reveal" moment if no one actually saw the colour before it falls to the ground!
3) If you can help it, don't do the reveal indoors. We had to due to it being a bit chilly and windy outside, but I do wish we could have had an outdoor reveal for better lighting in photos. If you don't care about the pictures so much, then inside works just fine! I just thought I would point this out for any other photo-fanatics. 🙂
4) Forget to tell your goofball husband that you have several people trying to get the perfect photo and he should WAIT for the full countdown rather than trying to be funny and popping it early! *insert eyeroll here* haha, we counted down from "5" and Dave decided to pop on "3"! We still managed to get a few good shots, but my Boomerang was toast!!!
SHOP MY LOOK: DRESS (similar) | NECKLACE | HAIR |
I hope this helps you, if you're looking for a great gender reveal idea! And if you didn't get it from the photos above… IT'S A BOY!

The upper chambers of the heart (the atria) are crucial compartments in our body's blood-pumping device. Electrical signals fired off within their walls drive each heartbeat, pumping blood through the heart and onwards around the body. Physicists and biologists keen to understand what happens when the heart misfires in a common heart condition called atrial fibrilation (AF) have built a virtual heart to test the 'circuits'. Using computer programming, the team welded together thousands of images of slices through a sheep's heart to build a 3D replica of the atria (pictured). Multi-coloured flecks show how muscle fibres arrange within the atrial walls. To mimic AF, scientists sent simulated erratic electrical signals through the mock-up. They found that where complex fibres around the pulmonary vein (opening on upper right hand side), connect with neatly aligned fibres below, electrical signals struggle to flow, leading them to the faults caused by AF.

|Baldo, Marjolaine (Agendia 201712 Commercial VP EMEA)
Institut Curie is one of an increasing number of major European cancer centers to become a co-validation partner for the new NGS-based MammaPrint BluePrint Kit
Agendia, a world leader in personalized medicine and molecular cancer diagnostics, and Institute Curie in Paris, France, a leading player in the fight against cancer, announce a co-validation partnership for Agendias new in vitro diagnostic (IVD) MammaPrint® BluePrint® Breast Cancer Risk of Recurrence and Molecular Subtyping Kit.
The co-validation study will demonstrate the performance of this new kit version of the MammaPrint and BluePrint tests in the decentralized setting ahead of the CE-marking and launch of the Kit in Europe early next year. Decentralized testing will enable additional European cancer centers to adopt the test in-house.
The objective of the study is to compare the processing of breast tumor samples at Institut Curies Diagnostics Core Facility using the new next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based MammaPrint BluePrint Kit, to the CE-marked microarray-based test performed at Agendias central laboratory in Amsterdam.
Tumor samples from patients enrolled in the study will be tested using the commercially-available microarray-based tests at Agendia. The Low Risk or High Risk result will be provided to Institute Curies clinical team to help in treatment management decisions. The Institutes pathology and diagnostics team will also run the same sample in their laboratory using the NGS-based MammaPrint BluePrint Kit to ensure that the results are concordant.
Dr. Marjolaine Baldo, Commercial Vice President EMEA, at Agendia, said:
By adding a decentralized solution to Agendias portfolio we can offer prestigious European cancer centers, like Institut Curie, the opportunity to both run the MammaPrint and BluePrint tests in a kit form, and to take advantage of the NGS instruments they already have in place. This benefits patients by bringing these valuable tests closer to them, expanding access to the benefits of personalized breast cancer treatment approaches.
Institut Curie is a highly innovative and one of the most prestigious cancer centers in Europe and we are excited by the possibilities of this collaboration. This partnership demonstrates the demand for and support of a MammaPrint BluePrint kit-based solution.
Amaury Martin, Head of Institut Curie Technology Transfer and Industrial Partnerships Office and Director of the Institut Carnot Curie Cancer said:
This partnership with Agendia on the validation of the MammaPrint BluePrint Kit marks a new stage in the collaboration between Institut Curie and Agendia. The Institut Curie MC21 strategic plan has identified innovation around breast cancer as a major axis of medical-scientific research. Treatment of these cancers represents a little over 60% of the hospital activity of the Institute and is regularly cited in the list of the best hospitals in France.
The work carried out at Institut Curie in this area benefits from a unique fundamental and translational research ecosystem with state-of-the-art teams. The technologies developed by Agendia will fully benefit our patients and their presence within the Institute opens the door to future collaborations to develop and validate predictive tests whose usefulness is undeniable in the course of care.
In June 2017, Agendia announced an agreement to extend its relationship with Agilent Technologies Inc. to develop an RNA sequencing-based kit version of its existing MammaPrint and BluePrint tests which are currently performed centrally at the Companys CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratories in Irvine, CA and Amsterdam.
About MammaPrint®
MammaPrint is an in vitro diagnostic test, performed in a central laboratory, using the gene expression profile of breast cancer tissue samples to assess a patients risk for distant metastasis. MammaPrint is cleared by the US FDA and carries the CE Mark, enabling the use of the test in the European Union. MammaPrint is indicated for use by physicians as a prognostic marker only, along with other clinical-pathological factors. The test is not intended to determine the outcome of disease, nor to suggest or infer an individual patients response to therapy.
About Agendia
Agendia is a privately held, leading molecular diagnostics company that develops and markets genomic diagnostic products, which help support physicians with their complex treatment decisions.

Soul II Soul, one of the UK's most successful and iconic R'n'B groups is to be honoured by a PRS for Music Heritage Award.
A special plaque is to be erected on the Electric (then known as The Fridge), in Brixton where the group fronted by the legendary, Jazzie B played their first full live gig in 1991
PRS for Music set up the Heritage Award in 2009 to recognise the unusual 'performance birthplaces' of famous bands and artists. Soul II Soul and the cutting-edge south London scene have contributed significantly to shaping the British music landscape and hold huge nostalgic significance to countless fans. Previous awardees include Blur, Elton John, Snow Patrol and UB40.
PRS for Music Chairman, Guy Fletcher said: "Soul II Soul redefined British music in the 1980's with their unique style, achieving global success and going on to work with other instrumental artists such as James Brown, Public Enemy and Destiny's Child. Those first gigs are where the magic first happens and they continue to be an inspiration to many other musicians. It really is a privilege to celebrate their achievements in this way."
Jazzie B and members of the group including vocalist Caron Wheeler, Aitch and Q will be there to see the plaque unveiled on the wall of the Electric in Brixton at 11.30am on Thursday 21st June, after which they will play an exclusive set to a select audience of media, local government, key music industry figures and friends of the band.
Jazzie B said: "I am honoured that the place where our musical career really took off has been chosen to be marked in this way. We had some unforgettable nights in Brixton and nothing beats playing to a live audience. We are about to start a new residency at the Electric too which is really exciting, especially given how important the venue is to our story."
Soul II Soul has sold over 6.8 million albums worldwide. Jazzie has accreditation on over 35 million albums in over 100 territories and has appeared at some of the most famous venues in the world including Wembley and New York's Universal Ample Theatre. In 1990 they picked up two Grammy Awards and Jazzie B was given the keys to seven cities in the US, including LA and New York. In May 2008 Jazzie, "the man who gave British black music a soul of its own" won the Ivor Novello Award for inspiration. The same month Jazzie B was awarded an OBE for services to music, the first sound man to be honoured by Her Majesty the Queen.

How to Love Dating Again
Once you've been hurt it can be tough to open yourself up to the idea of loving someone again. As terrifying as dating and the vulnerabilities that come with it may seem though, it can also be a lot of fun!
The good news is that it doesn't matter if you've been through dating hell in the past, once you put these four tips to use you'll feel like a new woman, ready to meet and mingle with all kinds of men.
1. Let Go Of the Past
If you're not a fan of dating it's probably because you've had crappy experiences in the past. As tough as it can be to forget about those unpleasant encounters, it's important you do.
If you forever hold onto the idea that dating sucks or worry about getting hurt, then you won't be able to open yourself up to new experiences and meet potentially great guys.
Of course this is easier said than done, and it makes sense why you'd have your guard up in this situation. However, if you're carrying around baggage it's going to be hard to make room for any new romantic interests. Don't let old wounds get in the way of new love.
2. Be Open to New Ideas
Let's say you meet a man and the two of you hit it off. You have quite a bit in common and the conversation between you is flowing. Then he pops the question: Will you go on a date with him.
At this point one part of you is excited about the opportunity, but the other part is nervous about putting yourself out there again, or uncertain about what it is he wants to do together. If you're looking to love dating again then it's important that you open yourself up to new ideas and experiences.
Here's the thing: every man admires and wants to be with a woman who is carefree and goes with the flow. This means that when the opportunity to go out with a guy you're into arises, you should always say yes – regardless of what it is he's proposing. Besides, you may even discover something new to love.
3. Don't Take It Too Seriously
Dating is meant to be fun, so it's important that you let your guard down and embrace a playful mindset. When you do you'll not only enjoy dating more, but it'll also make you much more attractive to men.
Since dating is simply a matter of two people getting together, you shouldn't feel uncomfortable or pressured while doing so – and if you do, well, you're doing it all wrong.
Sure it's normal to have first date jitters, but instead of letting your nerves get the best of you, realize there's no reason to be taking things too seriously. Besides, if you're looking for a potential mate then you want it to be with someone you can be yourself around, so show him your true colours from the start.
4. Focus On You!
While on a date it's easy to focus on and pinpoint the qualities you like and dislike about the guy you're with, but it's important that you focus on your own qualities as well.
Pay attention to what makes you smile, gets your laughing, or gives you goosebumps. Make note of what conversations make you a uncomfortable, and the topics that let your best self shine.
Since dating is a great way to learn more about yourself, do so. The things you discover you can use to your advantage on future dates. For instance, if you know that you get nervous when it comes time to pay the bill then you can prepare yourself for it in the future and pre-plan your game plan. Or if you're not the best at initiating conversations, then you can come up with some topics to chat about before meeting him.
Knowing your strengths and weaknesses can improve your dating game huge, so be sure to focus on you!
